Snow

🔞 Chapter 7

Seokjin's and Namjoon's touches remain heated but innocent as they discover more about each other. They both slowly discover what the other likes or dislikes.

As they continue to build their home and as the temperature continues to heat up, Namjoon realizes just how much his mate enjoys seeing his bare body. Because the days are becoming warmer, Namjoon begins to go around without wearing his shirt, even if they are not working on their cottage.

Every time Seokjin wakes up wrapped in his shirtless mate's embrace, he becomes flushed and feels his blood rush south.

One morning, Namjoon wakes up to his mate rushing out of his embrace to the chilly waters of the pool outside of the cave. He sits up in confusion, wondering what would prompt his mate to jump into the cold water.

"Jin, are you okay?" Namjoon asks as he walks out of the cave to find his mate.

"I-I am okay." Seokjin stutters and takes deep breaths to calm down.

"Why is your scent so sweet?" Namjoon mumbles as he looks at his blushing mate. Then, it hits him, and Namjoon's eyes widen in shock. "Y-you woke up like that?" He asks as he begins to blush.

"Y-yes." Seokjin nods and shyly looks away.

"I will not mock you or stare, so come out so that I can dry you off and get you warm. You might get sick if you stay in there too long. It is cold." Namjoon wades into the pool and motions his mate over.

"Promise?" Seokjin shyly asks.

"I promise." Namjoon smiles and waits for his embarrassed mate.

When Seokjin reaches him, Namjoon lifts him into his arms and carries him to their cave. Once they are in their cave, Namjoon wraps Seokjin in several warm animal pelts and then quickly prepares a fire to warm his mate up.

Namjoon startles when his mate walks over to him and hugs him from behind. Over time, Namjoon has learned that Seokjin enjoys touching him and being touched.

"Come here." Namjoon hums and wraps his mate in his arms.

Seokjin happily settles in his mate's lap, facing his mate. He smiles and hums as he rests his head on Namjoon's shoulder.

"You should take your wet clothes off. You could get sick." Namjoon gently lifts Seokjin's shirt up over his head.

"Okay." Seokjin hums and lets Namjoon undress him.

Once Seokjin's shirt is off, the demon notices that his mate's nipples are hard, so he quickly averts his gaze as a light bush dusts his cheeks. Noticing his mate's reaction, Seokjin looks down and realizes what caused his mate to become shy.

"You can look. I am always looking at you." Seokjin smiles and gently turns Namjoon's face to look at him.

Namjoon gulps as he looks at his mate's slender body. His crimson eyes begin to glow as they flit up and down Seokjin's lithe body. Seeing how his mate is reacting to him, Seokjin feels his confidence boost. He stays still and lets his mate stare at his bare abdomen.

The hellhound slowly leans forward and presses a kiss on Seokjin's bare shoulder, causing the human's breath to hitch. A quiet whimper of pleasure bubbles in Seokjin's throat, surprising his mate.

Knowing that his mate is enjoying his touch, Namjoon presses his large hands against his mate's smooth back. Because of the size of his large hands, Namjoon's hands easily wrap around Seokjin's slender body.

When Namjoon's rough hands slide up his body, Seokjin quietly moans and shudders in his mate's hold. He loves how Namjoon's warm, rough hands gently caress his body.
