Chapter 9: Sleep with Me

I stare Bang Chan down in the packhouse hallway, unsure if I can believe my own ears.

"I can't let you sleep alone. Seungmin almost killed you last night. You'll sleep in my room. In my bed."

In his bed?

Bang Chan takes a step closer, hot spring water still dripping from his hair. His hand reaches for mine.

"What's going on here?"

Bang Chan pulls his hand back as Felix walks up the stairs toward me, his eyebrows raised.

"It's fairly late to be soaking wet. Did you two fall into the hot spring by chance?" he giggles.

"We might have taken a dip." I giggle back.

"Caught in the act."

The giant man that suddenly appears at Felix's side holds out a hand to me.

"We haven't formally met. I'm Changbin. Felix's mate."

"I claimed him. Not the other way around."

Changbin nods with a bashful smile. I shake his hand.

"Nice to meet you." I smile.

"Is Seungmin secure in the barn?"

"Yep."

A pretty woman skips up the stairs, alongside O.de.

"Gave O.de and I a run for our money but he's secure in a cell."

"(Y/N), this is Yeonwoo, my better half."

Yeonwoo winks at me as O.de gives an introduction.

"We'll meet tomorrow to decide what to do with Seungmin. You should all get some sleep."

Changbin escorts Felix down the hall. Yeonwoo turns to leave, but stops. She hands Bang Chan a paper bag.

"Oh, here is what you requested from my little jaunt to town."

"Thank you, Yeonwoo."

She skips off with O.de. Suddenly, I'm alone with Bang Chan again. I eye the door to my old bedroom.

"That went smoothly. Looks like you're starting to fit in here."

"Well, I owe it all to my natural charm."

"Is that what you'd call it?"

"Yes. And what will help me be even more charming is a good night's sleep, so–"

I reach for my bedroom door, but Bang Chan's hand closes over mine faster than the speed of light.

"Nice try. But my word is final. You're sleeping with me."

"That's a terrible come-on."

"Not a come-on. A necessity. Besides..."

Bang Chan laces his fingers with mine and tugs me close. I feel heat radiate off him as he smirks.

"You're still my prisoner, aren't you? You'll go where I tell you to go." Bang Chan says seductively.

I flush, completely lost for words. With a winning grin, Bang Chan tugs me down the hall. We climb several flights of stairs until we reach a long hallway with a door on the end.

"This is me."

He leads me inside. I stare at the large room. A roaring fire casts an orange glow over the high beams.
