Tae gulps... and groans... words that are music to his ears... "Say it again, Kookie."
"You're all mine!"
Jungkook's hands are eager once he finally has Tae in his grasp.
"Rip them off." The CEO hisses into Jungkook's ear. He'd decided the panties were useless anyway, they didn't cover anything and albeit they weren't made to run in... he would just buy another pair if he missed them that much.
Jungkook reaches down and with two hands the thin string of fabric on Tae's hip is torn apart. Something so simple sent sparks flying for both men and Tae felt delirious, turning to mush in the hands of his husband.
"What do you want to do to me?" The CEO asks. His tone is deep and husky, clouded by arousal. Even if a 'hard nos' list existed, he wasn't sure that any of them would apply to Jungkook... he trusted him with his life and he was convinced that everything would feel good if the dancer was involved.
"It's what you're going to do to me, precious..." Jungkook smirks. "... please tell me you're wearing a plug." He'd never been so keen for the answer to be 'yes' and even though he knew that Tae had a habit of surprising him at the most inconvenient times, he doubted this was one of them.
"I'm not, Kookie... I wished I was when you left the bedroom looking so fucking sexy before we went to Maxito... and now I wish I had... but no."
"That's okay, baby... you'll have to be patient then." Jungkook knew that in situations like this, patience wasn't his husband's strong point but he wouldn't rush it.
Tae does not want to be patient... he cursed himself for not wearing a plug and vowed that he would have to search online to see if there was something he could wear often... just in case.
"I'll go and get some lube... get comfortable on the chair... I'll be a minute." He could quite easily take this to the bedroom but he already had it in his head that he wanted Taehyung riding him and after the comment about 'visiting' the cars, he knew that Tae wanted that, too.
"I'll get lonely..." once again, the non-existent pout was very visible, "... come back naked."
"I'll be quick... baby... lay down." Jungkook says before giving him a quick kiss and rushing to the bedroom.
Tae looked around the room and considered his options. His hand fondled his penis that was erect and desperate for attention. The small mound of pink lace laid on the floor at his feet and he decided that the chair was definitely the best choice for now. Alan had asked him if he liked the chair, while he was at Safe Haven last week and Tae was grateful that Jungkook wasn't there at the time or he could imagine the reaction when a very frank conversation ensued. Tae was amused that Alan was so open, sharing a few stories of the things that he got up to on the cuddle chair that he had at home. Tae still struggled sometimes with being so honest when with others but he got by, which was more than could be said for the love of his life who looked like he wanted the ground to open up and swallow him in such circumstances.
The CEO knew that Jungkook would have one thing on his mind when he returned from the bedroom but there was no harm in giving him a view to remind him so he lay on the chair with his legs spread, hands resting on his stomach as if it were the most casual thing in the world. He'd altered the thermostat a little so that they could be comfortably naked. He wanted his nipples hard as a result of being so aroused, not because there was a chill in the air!
Every change he'd made to the apartment he wanted to take elements with him into the design of the new house. He'd had some thoughts about offering the apartment to Kyong and Jara. They loved where they were but with two small children, they needed somewhere with more space and there was the added bonus of an extra room. The complex was farther from the diner but it was in an equally good area to the one they were living in, as they would probably expect from people like Jung Hoseok and Kim Taehyung.
Something else to be expected from the CEO was the ability to fluster his husband, which is what happened when Jungkook returned.
"Fuck!" He muttered, wrong footing himself as he walked into the lounge. He should've married someone less attractive... or less evil!
"Kooookieeee!" Tae whines from the chair.
"I'm here, baby..." the dancer replies "... I don't know how you expect me to show restraint when you're laying there like that?!"
Tae pushes up on his elbows and tilts his head slightly to one side, smirk on his face, "I never expect you to show restraint... in fact I'd prefer it if you didn't!"
"I married the devil himself!" Jungkook mutters.
"I'll be whatever you want me to be as long as you hurry up and fuck me."
"Fuck sake!" He didn't know if it was the effects from the alcohol or arousal that had removed any filter that his husband had but there it was! "You always sound so desperate." he grins, shaking his head, crawling up Tae's body, knees shuffling either side of his body. He grabs each hand and puts them above Tae's head. "Do you want to recline the chair a bit more?"
The CEO had the sexiest man on the planet hovering over him, close enough that his nostrils were attacked by the most tantalising aroma. If Jungkook's scent and physique weren't enough, his hair that hung freely around his face and his gorgeous doe eyes were more than enough to tip anyone over the edge. "I am desperate." He whispered.
Jungkook held Tae's arms above his head at an angle, pressing his knuckles into the plush backrest of the super comfy, spacious chair. "It makes it sound like you don't get any sex."
Taehyung is lightly restrained, pinned to the chair by the hunk of a man that he was proud to call his husband. "Not enough."
The answer was hardly a shock to the dancer, "I'd better make sure you get enough tonight, then..."
"What are you going to do?"
Jungkook dips down and Tae thinks he's going to get a kiss but at the last second he swiftly connects his lips to Tae's cheek instead. "Take my time..." he smirks because he knows that the sound omitted from his lover was a disgruntled one, "... I'm going to make you cum here... in the shower and in our bed."
Tae liked what he was hearing apart from the part where he would have to be patient. "You are?"
If he was confident in anything, it was his ability to pull pleasure from his husband's body... like the conductor of an orchestra. "I am... and I'll kiss you when I'm ready."
Tae does not like that... well... he does... he loves this Jungkook because it makes him bratty and needier than ever...
... but he doesn't like this Jungkook... the one who is smirking and knows his power.
The dancer takes delight in the pout that forms... not that his husband pouts, of course.
He moves down his body, kissing spontaneously as he goes. He's firm but gentle when he prepares his lovers body to take his own... he concentrates on the sounds coming from the man whose lips are parted and chest heaves with pleasure and desperation for more. Jungkook had never felt such ownership of anyone and at all other times, he wouldn't dare to say he owned this man as he preferred the feeling of equality (or as close to that as he could get, given who his husband is).
Intimacy was different... he was in complete control of his lover and his body. He knew how far to push him and how to give him maximum pleasure. If his husband was pouting and acting like a spoilt brat... he knew he was doing the right thing! Tae loved to be cared for, dominated, showered with affection and thankfully those facets and more were awakened in the dancer.
"Kookie... please."
There were the ultimate words of impatience. Jungkook had kissed most parts of him... except the lips... he'd carefully ensured his entrance was relaxed and ready... and he'd already denied his husband at least one orgasm.
"Are your lips lonely, baby?"
"Please..." Tae had grabby hands and he thought he might burst into tears if he didn't get Jungkook's lips on his.
"One more thing..." Jungkook informs him.
"No... nooooo! Kookie!"
Jungkook moves off the chair, standing beside it, "Ride me and my lips are all yours, precious."
Taehyung moved quickly... faster than he thought was possible given that he didn't feel as if he had control of his own body right now. This was what he'd wanted to do in the car earlier... he would ride his husband anywhere!
Jungkook also moved quickly... to save anymore complaints from his lover. He changed the angle of the recline so he was sitting up a little more and helped guide Tae onto his lap. The CEO looked flushed and like he'd been dragged through a hedge backwards but he was still the most beautiful man on earth.
Tae showed his appreciation with a string of erotic sounds that he didn't hesitate to vocalise as he impaled himself on his husband's rigid cock. He couldn't ever get enough of this... even if he was a professional cockwarmer with only Jungkook as his client... if that was a thing?
The CEO said "Sshhh" as he thought his lover was about to speak and proceeded to nibble at his plump bottom lip. Jungkook's large hands were burning on his backside, like they were branding him with ownership... and Taehyung was happy to accept Jungkook as his master.
"You can move..." the dancer manages to say as his lower lip is clamped between his husband's teeth.
"I know." is the reply.
"If you're playing a game of patience... I will win." Jungkook informs the man sitting astride him.
Tae frowns. He has zero plans to draw this out because his insides were screaming at him to move and he knows that Jungkook is well aware of that fact so it was pointless to pretend otherwise.
"You're. So. Fucking. Sexy!" Tae punctuates the words with force as he sits back and runs his fingertips up and down his lover's well toned torso. The ridges were an aphrodisiac, the way the skin was taut over each muscle made him drool and he knew the strength in that core!
When their mouths finally met properly, it was messy. Jungkook held the back of Tae's head with one hand, keeping him in place, licking deeply and feverishly. The other hand gripped his husband's soft, fleshy behind as it slid back and forth.
"How about the table next?" Jungkook asks through heavy breaths.
"Anywhere... I'm... god... I'm gonna..." he can't speak, his husband has his hand around his cock, pumping him firmly.
Jungkook holds Tae as he cums and he always feels proud of himself. There's no time to sit and relax in each other's arms... he's got a goal to achieve... next stop... dining room.
***
Kyong and Han-Shik were enjoying dinner at an exclusive Japanese restaurant. They'd only managed to converse via phone or in passing when they've crossed paths meeting with Ho-Joon. Kyong had been busy with the Smart businesses and he'd been learning all about Yang Travel, while Han-Shik was completely overwhelmed by Yang Corporation.
"Is she still calling you?" Kyong sips from the thick, smooth rim of his crystal tumbler, half full with a rich, amber liquid and lumps of ice.
"Yeah. I ignore the calls so I don't know why she continues." Han-Shik shakes his head and sighs.
"Are you going to answer at any point? If not, you may as well block her."
"I don't know. The option is always there. What can she say? Actually, what can I say? The house has got nothing to do with me now, I can't help her with that... I don't know what money she's got and I'm only going to be guilted into something I'll probably regret."
"If you can believe her?"
Han-Shik raises his glass as if to toast his brother's words, "Exactly."
"Do you feel that we should help her?"
"The obvious answer is 'yes'... isn't it?"
"Is it?"
"She is our mother, Kyong. Doesn't that mean we are obligated?"
"Before we knew everything that has happened, my answer would probably be 'yes'... but can we really call her 'our mother' when she has done the things that she has done?"
Han-Shik sighs, raising his eyebrows and sitting back in the chair, "Are there any rule books out there on this stuff? To be honest, I'm sick of talking about her. I get asked about how she's coping, all the time at the office. Yang Corp is full of people who care."
"Ryan didn't send out a memo about how toxic his widow was then?"
"He obviously ran out of time... Ho-Joon told me that time was a big factor. Ryan prioritised the evidence for the divorce when he found out that he wouldn't be leaving the hospital."
"I guessed that time would be a factor. Some of the inclusions in the will were obviously done much earlier. Have you heard from Kook?"
"No. Ho-Joon hasn't spoken to him, either. He said that the attorney they appointed is efficient though... Kook gave the car away?"
Kyong smiles behind his drink, "Yeah. Jara said that Billy and Marie couldn't believe it. I have spoken to him... he's just being stubborn. He'll soon realise that he needs to do something with the house."
"Will he give that away, too? Marrying into money obviously has its perks."
"Don't start! Even if he wasn't married to Taehyung, I doubt he'd want any of it. Kook likes to earn what he has. If you'd seen the reaction when he was given Gravity, you'd know what I'm saying is true."
Han-Shik purses his lips, "And the Audi? And who saved the day and bought the diner?"
"It's none of our business but the car is a touchy subject. If I'd been in Taehyung's position, I'd have done the same. He was saving the family business from OUR family! What is your problem with Taehyung?"
"I don't like him... that's it. He's redeemed himself a couple of times but that doesn't mean I have to like him."
"Emi likes him?" Kyong knew this for a fact but posed the question anyway.
"She does... but most women do... no?"
Kyong chuckles, "What are you implying? That your wife likes him because she finds him attractive?"
"He's like a vampire who uses his looks to draw people in then sucks them for everything they own."
Kyong laughs now, "That's hilarious! I would suggest getting to know him. Taehyung is a really nice guy."
"Has he bought my nephews affections yet?"
"No, he avoids them at all costs."
"What? Why?"
"I don't think he likes kids. We usually laugh about it... he avoids Sukmin, too."
"The kid who lives at the diner?"
"That's him. He's really good with the boys but I think he confuses Ki-Joon because he looks like an adult."
"Is there something wrong with him then?"
"I wouldn't say that. It looks like he might have some learning difficulties. The childlike behaviour could be down to trauma? No-one can be sure but he works at the diner and is a really good kid. You just have to treat him like he's younger and forget his age."
"What's going to happen to him?"
"Jara said that he is staying with Billy and Marie. He was offered a place at the new dorm but he didn't want that. Billy and Marie are great people so he's in the best place for him. Did Ho-Joon tell you about the money Ryan left for them in the will?"
"Yeah. He said Ryan was angry when the development contract was taken away because he lost business and money but then you left and he could see what the diner meant to everyone. Apparently, Ryan was fuming when he found out that eomma knew where Kook was all those years... he wanted to give something back to the diner owners for everything they'd done."
"Maybe that was the turning point? It must've been shit to find out that your wife knew where her son was and didn't tell you?"
Han-Shik shrugs his shoulders, "I guess so. It pissed me off."
"Would you have contacted Kook if you'd known?"
"Too right!"
"Even though we believed that he'd stolen money?"
"I forgot about that. Maybe not? But we would've had the choice! If we'd known where to find him, we could've found out the truth sooner."
"If you'd found out what really happened back then, you'd have acted more of an arsehole then you did."
"I was not an arsehole."
"Shik... you were fucking everything that stayed still long enough and drinking every night. You left the business to me... you were an arsehole... still are."
"I don't regret any of it. That's why I'm happy to be in a monogamous situation now... fucked my way around Seoul... sampled everything on offer and now I can settle down."
Kyong seizes the opportunity to steer the conversation to his brother's personal life. There wasn't any point discussing their brother-in-law as seemingly they rubbed each other up the wrong way. He hoped that in time, the two men would find some common ground... even if it was that they both cared for Jungkook. Kyong, honestly couldn't find anything to dislike about Taehyung, they all got on very well and he wanted the same for Han-Shik or family events could be more awkward than they were already. Jara had told him that Han-Shik would have to deal with Heeju if it came to it and that prospect made them both giggle.
"Settling down? Is that what you're doing?"
"I'm married, aren't I?"
"To a woman that you didn't choose? With eomma out of the picture and ties broken, you and Emi could easily separate." Kyong knew more than he was letting on but he didn't know whether his brother knew that.
"I've thought about that."
"You have? You've thought about separating?"
"Yeah... separating... divorce... all of it. Like you said, I was forced into the marriage so it's only natural to check out my options."
This was news to the eldest brother. It was clear that Han-Shik hadn't told Emi because Kyong knew that she probably would've told Jara. "And?"
"And what?"
"Are you going to?"
"No."
"Why not? Because you love her?" Kyong recalled their conversation in Han-Shik's kitchen, the day before the funeral.
"I don't know."
"Don't know what? Why you aren't divorcing her or you don't know if you love her?"
"The second option."
"Fucking hell! And here I was, thinking that talking to Kook was hard work!!"
Han-Shik rolls his eyes and reaches for some chopsticks so he can help himself to a piece of spicy salmon on crispy rice. "I've told you before, that I think I love her... but I don't know... how do you know?! Aren't I meant to be 'in love' with her?"
"I don't know how you know. You've not slept with anyone since you've been married?"
"No. I did see this cute couple the other day and for a second it did cross my mind but they were probably straight."
"And you are married?"
"I know! Don't shoot a guy for being honest!"
"How does Emi make you feel?"
"Doesn't that say more about her feelings for me?"
Kyong sighs... "Yes but if she kisses you and you don't like it..."
"I definitely like it when she kisses me."
"That's a start!"
"Okay, Mr relationship expert, how do you know that you love Jara? Or didn't you have a choice once she was pregnant?" Han-Shik knew that wasn't the case but he couldn't resist the opportunity to wind his eldest brother up. He remembers when Kyong was first seeing Jara and he was suddenly much more keen to be at work... but that situation was different. He'd been thrown into the deep end and was learning everything backwards. What made it a real challenge was the fact that he wasn't sure he'd ever gone beyond 'like' for anyone before.
"I'm going to ignore that. I knew I loved Jara when I couldn't imagine being with anyone else. When guys were disrespectful to her, it made me angry and I wanted to protect her. She brought out a side to me that I didn't know existed."
"And now?"
"I'm marrying her again, doesn't that tell you everything?"
"Not really. It doesn't tell me how you feel about her... I married Emi, didn't I?"
"I'm more in love than ever."
Han-Shik rubs his face with his hand, "I don't even know when I would tell her... it feels like an awkward situation."
"I think you're overthinking it. If you feel like telling her, then say it. You don't have to worry about theatrics. If you show her how you feel, she will know so telling her won't be such a big deal. Just don't say it for the first time during sex." Kyong laughs.
Han-Shik's eyes open wide, "You didn't?"
"I did. It was a moment that I wanted to remember and forget at the same time."
"If that's the definition of love... I've loved lots of people when they make me cum."
"You must feel differently about Emi compared to others?"
"I do. But I didn't spend a lot of time with others when they had clothes on."
"Only you know how you feel."
"I was thinking of buying her something special for christmas."
"Thinking? It's not October, Shik... we are days away from it."
"Okay, so I've bought her something special but I've realised that romance isn't my thing."
"What have you bought?"
"A ring. I thought it could replace her wedding ring if she wanted it to? We didn't choose the bands... eomma sorted all of that. It's gold with our birthstones either side of a princess cut diamond. I didn't realise that gems and precious stones were so complicated! Birthstones led onto starsigns and that was a lot to take in!"
Kyong laughs and drinks the last of the liquid in his tumbler, "You are definitely in love!"
***
"Journeys are always better in Ruby!" Heeju announces as she presses the key fob and waits for the lights to blink to tell her the car was locked.
"I like Ruby." Sukmin says. "Ash says his car is better."
Heeju looks to her left where her boyfriend walks beside her. "He isn't gay enough for Ruby." she replies.
"Am I still gay enough?" Sukmin frowns.
"You are part of the community, so Ruby welcomes you always." Heeju answers.
"You aren't gay?" Ash says in response to his girlfriend.
"No, but I am a super ally."
"I'm an ally, too?" Ash says.
"Look at the tree!!" Sukmin's excitement is tangible as they enter the shopping mall.
Heeju and Ash were on a mission to take the young lad christmas shopping. He'd never been shopping for presents and never decorated a tree. It wasn't as big in Korea as it was in other countries around the world but Heeju's time in America had shown her what a western christmas could look like and she wanted Sukmin to feel that.
Billy and Marie had presents for him under the tree and they didn't even know which country or culture they were following by this point. Sukmin wanted to buy presents, too and asked Ash to help him so a trip to the shopping mall was arranged... blanket and all.
"What about Jungkook-hyung and Taehyung?" Sukmin asks.
"What about them?" Ash says to the boy walking on the other side of Heeju.
"They should have presents?"
"Don't trust Ash when it comes to presents." Heeju informs him. "The last time he was involved, he was in trouble for ages."
Ash groans internally. It appeared that the wedding t-shirts would never be forgotten. "I'm great at getting gifts! I didn't see you complaining when I bought you the yellow rose bear."
"Oh that was so cute! My pumpkin gave me Butternut the bear on rose day and told me he loved me for the first time!"
Ash grins proudly, "Winning!"
"Will I have to do that? Buy a teddy bear when I tell someone I love them?" Sukmin asks.
"No, you don't have to." Heeju tells him.
"You can just tell them." Ash adds.
"I don't need a bear?" Sukmin confirms.
"You can tell someone however you want to." Ash says.
"I don't think anyone will buy me a teddy bear... I am not someone to love... not easy to love... that's what happens to people who should not have been born." Sukmin walks beside the couple, not missing a step as Heeju falters, hearing his words.
"You are loveable... we love you... and we are so pleased you were born." she says with confidence.
"Teachers said it was hard for them to love me... they said I was stupid... they were angry that a tutor would cost money... they said that's why they couldn't love me."
"Teachers said all of that?" Ash feels angry but does his best not to show it.
"And my eomma and appa. They said they would teach me at home but I stayed in my room."
Heeju hooks her arm through Sukmin's so they were linked, "You are not stupid and we love you."
"Look! Another tree! It's gold!"
Ash smiles at the change of topic. It happens a lot. One moment Sukmin was revealing something traumatic from his past in the most blase way, like he was reeling off a shopping list and the next he was off on another subject or completely distracted by something else. Ash hated hearing the awful things the young lad experienced. He would have expected that it was him who should have the nightmare tales from being in care but he had no stories like that.
"What are we eating today?" Ash asks. He hopes the answer isn't 'Mcdonalds' as they had that twice last week and there wasn't any signs that the fascination would dwindle anytime soon.
"I... I d-don't know." is the quiet reply that the couple just about hear over the thrum of sounds in the shopping centre.
"Anything you want!" Heeju tells him.
"Even Mcdonalds." Ash adds.
"What about cake? Do people eat cake at christmas... like birthdays?" Sukmin was curious.
"They have christmas cake and christmas pudding but not everyone likes it. Do you want cake?" Heeju remembers how big christmas was in America and in the European countries she'd visited and she wanted to share as many experiences as possible with Sukmin.
"No... I don't want cake... is that okay?"
Ash smiles, "whatever you want."
"Not bingsu... Billy gets me that... Billy says it's our treat... Billy says I shouldn't tell Marie that he gets me all the toppings... not Baskin Robbins... we aren't seeing art and Hobi says that's what we do when we go and see some art... Emery wouldn't be happy if he knew that Hobi has three scoops of ice-cream."
"You get ice-cream with Marie, too?" Ash asks.
"Yes! After Safe Haven... we have waffle cones."
"What would you like to eat today?" Heeju wonders.
"What would Taehyungnim eat?"
Heeju answers, "Sushi, probably, but you won't catch my brother in a mall."
"KTH doesn't like shopping. That's why he's perfect for Kookie Monster."
"I love shopping!" Sukmin exclaims, "Can we get sushi?"
"We can get anything you want." Heeju confirms.
"I have enough money for gifts... what can we get for Jungkook-hyung and Taehyungnim?"
"A fridge magnet... let's look for a christmas fridge magnet." Ash suggests.
"For their new home? We are all moving! They are having a new house and Billy and Marie are finding a new house for us! I didn't like the room with two doors."
"What room with two doors?" Ash hadn't heard about this. He'd been sceptical when he'd heard about the money but Heeju assured him that it was all legitimate. He was pleased that Billy and Marie were going to put it into somewhere to live or use some for a deposit and the rest for the diner refurbishment.
"It had two doors... I didn't like it." Sukmin repeated.
"Is that the place Marie saw this morning?" Ash guesses.
"Yes." the young lad says.
"The room had an ensuite." Heeju explains to Ash.
"I didn't like two doors." Sukmin says again.
"I think that one was just to show you what was out there." Heeju tries to reassure him, "We can start a list of things you know you don't want."
"Definitely not two doors."
Ash pats Sukmin on the shoulder, "A room with one door only, it is."
"Billy said I can help choose the new diner colours."
"And you have added some names to the list, right?" Heeju smiles.
Ash giggles, "We added a new one just the other day."
"What did you add?" Heeju was curious after her boyfriend's reaction.
"Can I tell Heeju?" Sukmin looks at Ash.
"Sure."
Heeju waits expectantly as Sukmin announces: "BAM's!"
"BAM's?" curiosity turns to confusion.
Ash explains, "We were playing a game and we crashed our car... BAM! And Sukmin noticed it could be Billy AND Marie's... so we put it in as a suggestion."
"If it's called BAM's... that's because of us!"
"We are two geniuses, you know?" Ash says with a huge smile.
"You certainly are..." Heeju confirms, "... do you want to get sushi now or shop first?"
"Will you have babies?"
Heeju and Ash both nearly trip over as Sukmin looks at them both.
"Who? What?" Confusion returns for Heeju.
Ash laughs, he's spent enough time with Sukmin to know that one of the best things is the random question about a completely unexpected topic thrown into the middle of a conversation. He can only assume that he'd seen a family walk past or maybe they'd walked past a shop that sold items for babies.
"Maybe one day in the future... let's get married first and get a house of our own." Ash says, hoping it's enough of an explanation.
"You are moving too? What about Smiler and Phoenix?" Sukmin seems concerned.
"No, we aren't moving. Maybe one day we will need to look for our own place though. Wedding first and Heeju is going to graduate and kick ass at Purple Aura!"
Heeju leans over and pecks Ash on the cheek, "My proud pumpkin."
"I am proud. My legal dynamite."
Ash was definitely proud of his girlfriend/fiancee... whatever she was... she was his and he still had to pinch himself every once in a while. He just wanted a simple summer wedding, with emphasis on simple! He thought that Kyong and Jara's renewal was supposed to be simple and small but that appeared stressful from his vantage point on the sidelines. He was toying with the idea of asking if they could get married on Ma'Ohi... far away with close family and friends? It was an idea.
This would be his first christmas as a proper couple, surrounded by his loving family because last year he had to admire Heeju from afar at the Kim's house... what a difference a year makes.
