Pride | A BTS Hybrid AU |

Chapter 9

   The next morning Seokjin, Namjoon and Jungkook met in the kitchen to start their day. Between the three of them they figured out how to use the fancy coffee maker. They deemed it a pain in the ass, but decided it was worth the work once they got a taste.

"I suppose it's just a matter of getting used to something new," Namjoon said in his wise-old-man voice,

"I'm going to head out to the swing by the lake. It looks like a peaceful place to enjoy my coffee and book before everyone else is awake."

"I think I'll go have a little run. Check out the area a little and get my blood pumping," Seokjin said as he stretched his arms over his head.

Jungkook chuckled and said,

"I would give you shit and say that it's the only thing you're going to be pumping in the near future, but that would backfire on me." He stood and finished his drink and put the cup in the sink, "Let me grab my shoes and I'll go with you."

Over in Rayne's little cottage, she, Rokki and Scarlett were just starting to wake up after a long night of listening to Scarlett complain about her mate not immediately making her scream in ecstasy. But, she took comfort in the fact that he was sleeping in her room. He didn't want to kick her out of her own bed, but she insisted,

"If we aren't going to be together for this first night, the least I can do is make sure you are surrounded by comfort. I know your scent comforts me. It's the least I can do."

The three women were well accustomed to sharing a bed, and fell asleep watching movies with each other and the others a few times a week, so it wasn't like they were being put out. In fact, it was comforting for them to be with members of their Pride, and after a day like that, they needed the familiarity of each other. Well. Rayne and Rokki needed it. Scarlett just dealt with it.

"Ugh. I need coffee," Scarlett said as she stretched from her spot in between the two taller women. Of course, she made sure to stretch in every way possible that would wake up her sisters. Rayne grumbled back at her as she was pushed further into the wall by the woman's behind, and Rokki threatened violence if Scar actually succeeded in shoving her off of the side of the bed.

"Have I mentioned lately how disgusting it is that you are so chipper in the morning?" Rayne grouched as she rolled onto her back and rubbed her hands over her face.

"Come on, bitches!" Scarlett said with a giggle as she scooted off the bottom of the bed, "The sun is shining and our Mates are waiting!"

Rayne growled in displeasure and rolled back over. Her attempts to pull the covers back over her head were thwarted when Scarlett pulled the blankets off the bed completely.

Rokki sat up and stared at the wall, not at all ready to face the day. She zoned out and was wondering if Rayne might have some juice in her mini fridge when Scarlett let out a startled gasp as she looked out the sliding glass door,

"Um," she giggled in a very schoolgirl manner, "You two need to see this."

Rokki sighed and had to fight the urge to stomp her feet as she went to see what could have Scar reacting like that. What she saw when she got there had her choking on her own spit. That was enough to garner Rayne's attention, so she rolled off the bed and joined the other two at the door.

What she saw had her frozen to the spot.

Seokjin and Jungkook were standing in the grass, sweaty and shirtless. They were both breathing heavily and stretching their legs, having apparently gone for a run that morning.

Scarlett continued giggling while watching her sisters' reactions to their Mates looking so delicious.

Rokki's eyes got wide and she watched the man that was destined to be hers stretch his muscles. She drank in every dip and bulge, and fantasized about being able to run her tongue along every bit of the exposed skin she saw. She whined, and sent Scarlett into a fit of laughter.
