Purple Blood

Chapter 65

Hobi smiled his sunshine smile, then ran and jumped into her bed; he wrapped his arms around Vi and nuzzled his face into her neck. "I missed you so much, Vi; you scared the shit out of me. I thought I lost you; I can't lose you."

His lips were against her neck, and she knew he wasn't asking to feed, but he needed the reassurance that she was there and okay. She tilted her neck a bit, and he took the hint; he bit her. But this wasn't about feeding; it was more about connection. Vi bit her lip so no sounds came out; she didn't want to be moaning in front of Blake. They'd murder him. 

After just a few seconds, he was done, and then he just lay there with his arms wrapped around her. She hadn't even noticed Jin leaving until he returned with a tray full of food. Her stomach growled loudly, and Vi was so thankful for the imprint and her bossy tattletale of a daughter. 

Hobi didn't want to let her go, so she just let him stay where he was while she ate. She told Blake to get to bed; he looked practically dead on his feet. He didn't want to go, but Vi pulled out the Queen card, and he went. "He likes you," Hobi whispered.

"He loves me.."

"Excuse me? If he loves you, why are you allowing him to touch you? Do I need to remind you that you have seven Vampire fiances?"

The Queen turned her head to look at Jimin and glared, "If you would have let me finish. He loves me like a little sister; he's been there since the second I was born. He gave me my name and taught me how to walk. That's a bond you can't get rid of easily."

Jimin started to deflate a bit. "Yeah, JK told us about your knight in shining armor."

Now, she wanted to annoy him, so she narrowed her eyes at him. "Besides that, I technically only have two fiances. Only Joon and Jin have asked; the rest of you have just assumed."

Hobi shot his head up, "OMG, you are right." He scrambled up and grabbed her hands. "Will you marry me?"

"Of course I will. I love you, Hobi."

He wrapped his arms around Vi and told her he loved her multiple times. He said it so often that Jimin got annoyed and pulled him off. Then he and Tae asked/yelled if she'd marry them simultaneously. Those two crack her up. "Of course I will, and I love both of you."

Vi expected Jungkook and Yoongi to ask right then, but they didn't. That's fine; she didn't need them to ask, but she hoped they would eventually. She turned to look at Hobi. "I know you aren't going to leave me alone, but I need to shower. Want to help?" His eyes flashed red. "You will have to behave, all of you, for the next few days."

He pouted, but he agreed—of course he did. They'd never do anything to hurt her. The two of them made it through the shower and then got dressed. When she went to leave the room, he grabbed her arm. "Where are you going?"

"I've been out for days. I have a Kingdom to run, Hobi, and a lot awaits me."

He shook his head no. "Joon took care of everything. Since it will also be his Kingdom, it's just as much his responsibility, Vi."

Knowing that he had her back in that aspect made her feel much better. He's the only one who can and knows what it takes to run a country. "That was very nice of him. Well, if you won't let me work, what will we do?"

"How about we explore the castle grounds a bit, and then I have a surprise for you?" He looped his arm through hers and escorted her to the back of the castle. He seemed to know his way around better than she did. It looks like he's been exploring while she was sleeping. 

The gardens were breathtaking, and it made her miss home. This place might be her actual home, but it's not really. Being back with the guys is her home, her beautiful white room, the couch in the library, the garden, and even Jimin's bar, even though she can't use it right now. 

"What's going on inside that head of yours?"

Hobi is always so comforting, "I miss home."

Surprised, his eyes went up, "but aren't you home?" When she shook her head, no, it was like she made him so freaking happy, "you think of our place as home?" When she nodded yes, he wrapped his arms around her. "You made me so freaking happy. I can't wait to marry you."

"I was thinking about that; I want to marry you guys before we return. Seeing me married will solidify any unrest with my nobles."

He frowned, "do you only want to marry us because of them?"

"Hobi, no, that's not it at all. I know my wedding to Joon back home will be obnoxious and overshadow my weddings with the six of you. Here, it wouldn't be like that. It could be private, intimate, and just us."

"Are you really okay with marrying all of us? There are seven of us?"

"Of course I am. I mean, I've slept with all of you, and I'm already having Jin's child."

"I know, but it was forced on you. I want to make sure that this is actually what you want."

Tears started to fall down her face. He is the sweetest man in the world. "I'd love nothing more than to be your wife and have your kids, Hobi."
