JUNGKOOK POV
My mate looked ready to pop
on opening night of our bar, Moon Dance, although I knew
he was not there yet but the
way he carried our baby,
sticking straight out in front
like a basketball while the
rest of his amazing body
stayed pretty much the same, gave that impression.
The whole pack came along
with all those who'd gotten a
gift certificate the day we'd closed and other humans who had heard that the bar was making changes.
The YouTube videos my omega took while the construction
went on didn't hurt one bit.
We'd gotten so many views,
the channel was monetizing.
Which did not hurt in the least.
In addition to our pack, I saw
a few in the packed room who
I thought I might have seen during our stay with Ari's pack.
Scoping us out or just looking
for a great, shifter-friendly nightspot? I had no idea.
But their money spent as
well as anyone's, so as long
as they didn't make
trouble, they were welcome.
With all the YouTube views and comments like: See you there and Bringing all my friends as well as my favorite It's going
to be the best place in town
for a good time!
Jimin had not only brought
back the regular staff a few
days before but hired some
pack members who had been
job hunting for a while.
One, it turned out, had been
to culinary school a while back and agreed to work in the kitchen with Paul to handle all the food sales we anticipated.
In addition to the construction videos, Jimin had set up Paul
and his new chef, Grant, to
do cooking videos about our
new menu.
(Jikook's restaurant)
Food sales of our ten-item opening-night menu were
almost as high as the drink
tabs.
I wandered around, chatting
with people listening to their comments and making a few mental notes of things we
could do a little better but
as closing time approached,
I found my way back to
Jimin's side.
He was still smiling, glowing
even but I could see the tiredness around his eyes.
"Baby, let your manager
empty the place out."
Yes, we'd hired a manager.
Because that would make life
a whole lot easier when we
had a new baby at home.
And also getting someone with
a lot of business experience, another handy pack member who'd run a restaurant
before he'd moved to the
area, made sense.
"No, I need to stay."
He stood very straight but
one hand rubbed his belly
in big, slow circles.
"It's our business."
"And you have hired and
trained your staff so you
can have some level of
freedom, right?"
"Right." His smile wasn't
as big as it had been.
"Maybe I am just a little
tired."
"Let's go home and celebrate
on our own."
"Celebrate on our own?"
A furrow appeared between
his brows.
"But isn't this the celebration?"
He waved around.
"Baby, in all the craziness
getting to this point, we've
put off something very important."
"What?"
He looked past me as if he'd
find whatever we'd forgotten over my shoulder somewhere.
"Are we out of beer?"
"Do we need a new keg of
the craft? Oh gods, did we
buy enough?"
"No, it's time we planned
our wedding."
"I want to marry you."
"How human of you."
Now he grinned big.
"But I'd really rather you
mate me."
"Before the baby arrives?"
"You're awful old-fashioned
all of a sudden."
"I am at heart and I'd love
you even if you didn't want to mate me but you do, right?"
"So much." He linked his
fingers with mine.
"Let's do it now."
"I don't know if we can make
this night any more magical
but let's give it our best shot."
We told nobody we were
leaving, except the new
manager and slipped out the back because we couldn't move two inches in the bar without someone wanting to tell us
how much they loved the
place and ask us questions.
I drove us home at just over
the speed limit, desperate to
get there and also not
wanting to jostle the baby.
Jimin told me he didn't think
the baby was in jostling
danger but you never knew.
We struggled out of our clothes and raced for the bedroom.
Rather I raced, realized my omega was not keeping up
and slowed down to let him
catch up.
He'd been so fleet of foot at
first when he healed but the baby had changed his center
of gravity so much, he was
slow-poky. Not that I cared.
Halfway up the stairs, I
scooped him into my arms
and picked up the pace again.
He was laughing and insisting
he was too big for this but I didn't care.
"You're light as a feather
and I am going to mark you right...here."
I nuzzled the spot I'd be
marking and set him on
his feet next to the bed.
"Take off your clothes omega."
"And do it real slow."
He flushed in the light
filtering in from the hallway.
"I look like a balloon."
"You don't want me to do a striptease."
"If I haven't made it clear to
you how sexy I think you
are, that's on me."
"But yeah, I want a
striptease because you
get hotter every day."
To encourage him, I undressed and tossed my clothes aside
then propped the pillows
against the headboard.
"Want me to hum something?"
He stared for a full minute
before he shook his head and reached for his top shirt button.
"Enjoy, This is a one-time
show."
"We'll see." I muttered,
knowing I was going to love it.
"What was that?"
"Dah dah dah dah."
"Dah dah..."
I rarely knew why he put up
with me but once I was
humming a stripper classic,
he got into the spirit and
pulled off one piece at a time, spinning the garments and tossing them aside and truth?
We were both laughing so
hard that by the time he was naked, he just fell next to me and we held each other and chuckled and guffawed until
tears ran down both our cheeks but after a few minutes,
laughing became kissing.
And kissing became caressing.
And caressing became licking.
I wanted to taste any part of
him I might have missed and I rolled him onto his back and went to it.
As he became bigger and more unwieldy, he was more willing
to let me do a lot of the heavy lifting...as it were and I was enjoying it.
By the time I was sucking on
his cock and teasing at his
hole with my fingers, he was
so slick, I knew he'd come if
I didn't let up.
"You sure about the mating, mate?" I pumped my fingers
in and out slowly.
"Last chance to make me
wait longer?"
His eyes were half closed and
his head thrashed back and
forth on the pillows.
"I-I'm sure."
"Is it going to hurt?"
He'd already been there with
Ari, even if he hadn't known it was coming but if he'd
forgotten, I sure wasn't
bringing her in here
between us.
"Probably but if I do it
right, you won't mind."
Bringing his legs up onto my shoulders, I brought my cock into position and slid it in,
just a little, then out.
I did it again, again, again.
His hips bucked.
"My love, don't tease."
"I want you in me and I
want you to mark me now."
I guess the wooing part was over.
Of course it never would be.
I'd spoil him and love him and make sure he knew how much
I loved him for the rest of our lives.
But always agreeable, I sank balls deep then withdrew and
a little faster the next time.
Then faster.
He was clinging to my
shoulders half off the bed
and gasping for breath and I wasn't getting much more air than that but it had never
been this intense and I'd pass out before I'd slow down.
My balls tightened and I
reached for his cock and gave
it a couple of squeezes then
we were both coming.
Hard and hot and cum was on him and in him, decorating my chest and his belly and both
our groins.
The knot came on fast and as
it did, I bent and sank my teeth into the tender place where
his neck met his shoulder.
I bit a little harder than
probably was strictly
necessary and twisted just enough to obscure what was already there.
I wanted only my mark on him.
He cried out but not in pain.
And came again, without
even being touched.
I'd told him if I did it
right, he wouldn't mind.
I didn't think he did.
Once again, I was very glad
Jin was so good about babysitting Dalsu all night.
I needed to make sure we returned the favor at least for
a few hours since their baby
was too young for them to
want him gone for that long.
