17. (M) 🔞

JIMIN POV

Leaving him softly, hoping he wouldn't notice too much, I rushed to grab some new clothes and get out of my wet ones before hurrying back to him.

He hadn't moved.

I rubbed him down with the towel vigorously, trying to
bring some color back into
his pale skin.

Then I moved him under the covers, discarding the towel.

He was just as perfect without his clothes as I'd imagined he would be but right now that didn't matter.

I moved away to grab him
some pajamas so he could be comfortable and warm but he wouldn't let me get up from
the bed again, He clung to me
and I couldn't refuse him.

As I lay back on the bed next
to Jungkook, he moved even
closer, pulling me against his unnaturally cool body.

I thought he was looking for
my heat but he pressed his mouth against mine fervently.

His lips were warm, sweet and a touch brutal as he scraped his teeth over the tip of my tongue.

"I can't lose you." he whispered after he broke the kiss.

"You won't." I said.

"but don't hide from me
anymore please."

"When you are scared, when
you are hurting, you have to
let me in."

"I didn't want you to see how weak I am." he said and my heart shattered all over again.

"How can I ever be a nurse, where people count on me for their life, if I can't handle my own?"

Earlier I'd been thinking about how far Jungkook has come in realizing how much he's worth, and here he was thinking he wasn't allowed to be scared.

"Baby, being afraid of something that might actually hurt you doesn't make you weak."

"I'm terrified."

"Anyone with a brain would
be and I've been in law enforcement for a little while now."

"Why are you scared? You've been through this before, right?"

He blinked at me, his green
eyes wider than usual.

"Because this time I care more."

"Someone I care about is in danger."

"That's why I'm scared,
too." he whispered.

Even though I hated seeing
him upset, I was happy he was communicating with me now.

My confession that I was afraid had seemed to loosen something in him, He didn't cling quite as hard to me.

It was as if he had permission now, as if now it was okay to
be afraid.

"If we are so worried about losing each other." I said quietly,

"Then let's do everything we can to hold on as tight as we can."

"That's the only way we'll win."

"Sounds good to me." He said, leaning in to kiss me again.

I tried to keep the kiss soft
and comforting but Jungkook
was having none of it.

He slid his hands up my body, making me tremble. His soft, exploring touch felt amazing.

His thumb grazed my nipple over the thin T-shirt I'd thrown on earlier and my hips rocked forward all on their own.

Talk about being an alpha, right then I was putty in my omega's arms except for one very stiff part of me.
