Royal Puppy Love

CHAPTER 25

BEDROOM – JIMIN POV

I woke to find the sun high in the sky and me alone in the bed. It was so late, but after yesterday I imagine Jungkook had thought that I needed the rest, which I did. I stretched and lazily turned over, appreciating the smell of Jungkook still on the sheets.

Jungkook (mindlink): 'Pervert!'

(mindlink): 'Get out of my head!'

Jungkook (mindlink): 'Never.'

(mindlink): 'Is that a promise?'

Jungkook: 'Yes.'

I look up and see him at the door. My face instantaneously burning hot with blush.

I am suddenly conscious that I am completely naked and lying across the bed with very little in the way of covering. I know he has seen everything and I mean everything, but it is still new to me. The wolves are used to being unclothed in front of each other, while I am still adapting.

Jungkook strides across the room, as I rise up to my elbows, and leans in to give me a loving kiss.

Jungkook: 'Good morning...or should I say Good afternoon, baby.'

'Good afternoon.'

I sit up and hold out my arms, allowing him to fully pull me up and into a seated position straddled across his knees as he sits on the edge of the bed. He laced his fingers and cups them behind my ass. I straighten out his shirt, a crisp white button down that looks amazing on him. Hell, anything looks amazing on him.

Jungkook: 'Jung Joon is out of the territory and the sorcerer has corrected the barrier so we will know if he shows up, Soomin is deceased, Hwan was the person from within the palace giving Joon his money and the attackers were sent by your grandfather to get me as a test for you...'

I nod. Yes, that is pretty much the craziness we have been dealing with on top of running the pack and surviving bonding.

'It's crazy to think that my mother's mate didn't survive the bonding, but you did and then some.'

Jungkook: 'I know.'

His hand lazily started sliding up and down my back, sending shivers through my body and heating my core. I tried to focus elsewhere other than my crotch. I place my hands on his biceps, feeling the muscles of the moving hand flex beneath my palm.

'That still doesn't explain the attackers' entrance to our bedroom. Does my Grandfather have that much power in the palace?'

Jungkook: 'He teleported us wherever he wanted...Wouldn't he just put them outside our door and give them the challenge of getting out?'

'That is true! I didn't think of that. I wonder how Claire and Jiwoon are faring? Jiwoon seems quite aloof and wants to stay wild. I am not sure if I see Claire living that way.'

Jungkook: 'I also thought of her as timid and sheltered, but she didn't even hesitate to latch on to me and jump dimensions to find him. The emptiness without him is a much worse fate than living a slightly uncomfortable life.'

I nod. 'He didn't seem to be hostage in the Fae dimension either. Grandfather said he was weak, so she might not have issues with the bonding.'

Jungkook: 'Let's hope so. We can seek them out later if that will make you feel better?'

I give him a quick peck, sliding my hands into the hair near his neck before doing so. His hand pauses, not allowing me to go back to my original position but stay closer to his face. I don't fight it.
