Seven Deadly Men 🔞

It was a time for healing. Namjoon knew it as he led Celine away from the butterfly garden and through the rest of the park. It was starting to get dark but neither of them really cared. Anything they encountered in the darkness couldn't be anywhere near as scary as he could be. Plus, in the dark it was easier to hide his shadows when they came out on their own. It had been happening more and more lately. He wasn't sure what was coming but there had to be a reason they were so unsettled.

The shadows were a part of them but somehow they also had a mind of their own. This was something that they all struggled with. It made it difficult to find people they could trust to be with them one hundred percent of the time. Their managers knew about them and the people that worked the closest. Their hair and makeup artists, translator, and bodyguards were all trustworthy people that went through a rigorous interview process and hand selected by the members.

Celine was the exception. Jimin didn't confer with the others when he had chosen her but he knew they wouldn't argue too much. Except Namjoon. He was against doing anything that might draw attention to them but now, walking hand in hand with her through the darkening park as people started to disperse, he felt like the luckiest man alive. He was never more thankful that Jimin had done what he had. Tonight he could forget about the darkness inside of him and all of his worries. He had her and she had him there to protect her from any evil. Well, any evil except him of course.

The night was approaching quickly but the park was well lit. Even in the dark areas it was bright because of the full moon shining down brightly on them tonight. Full moons usually brought an ache and the feeling of stress in Namjoon's chest but tonight he just found it beautiful while it was completely lighting up Celine's face and illuminating her small, round features. He had girlfriends in the past but none like her. None that were sweet, kind, sexy, smart, and funny all wrapped into one. None that he could imagine his future with.

Celine stopped in the middle of the path waiting for Namjoon to turn around. Once he did, she took both of his hands in hers and wrapped them around her waist as he wrapped hers around his broad shoulders and started swaying with him. He awkwardly moved in rhythm with her body. He wasn't used to slow dancing and she was quite a bit shorter than him. Group dancing is a lot different than what they were doing now. He hoped she couldn't tell just how fast his heart was beating right now but he suspected that hers was beating just as fast.

Gazing into each other's eyes, Celine thought Namjoon was about to give her one of the most romantic kisses she had ever experienced. Instead, he pulled her in close, picked her feet off the ground, and spun her around playfully until she was completely dizzy. Unable to stand up, she pulled Namjoon down on the grass next to the path nearly on top of her. Laughing together, she laid down on the grass and closed her eyes, trying to recover from her dizziness. When she opened her eyes, she looked up to see that Namjoon was hovering over her, looking down at her with hooded eyes. The second she opened her eyes his lips came crashing down on hers.

It only took a moment for Celine to respond but once she realized what was happening, she reached her hands up and entangled them in his long locks of hair, kissing him back. She pulled him closer to her by wrapping her legs fully around him, feeling his hardened length against her. Ugh, why had she made that rule again? She couldn't deny that she wanted him. Maybe she could break it since she was the one that had made it up. But would he respect her if she did or would that change how he felt about her? Despite that they were in a public place, the area they were in was fairly dark and they hadn't seen any other people for at least half an hour. They could probably get away with doing anything they wanted to.

Namjoon kissed up her cheekbone, down to her neck, before moving back up to her ear and sucking on her earlobe before biting it, making Celine shiver.

"I want you Celine," he whispered into her ear. His hot breath tingled against her skin and she couldn't deny that she felt a wet pool forming between her legs. She was sure that Namjoon could feel it too since he was completely pressed against her and there wasn't much material to either of their bicycle shorts. She shifted to straddle his impressively large thighs and started to move against him, creating the friction she most desperately craved.
