Kept

Intrigued

Prince Minho POV

He was magnificent.

My eyes swept over him- soaking in his dark wavy hair that brushed impossibly wide shoulders, clad in a well tailored jacket that showed off his incredibly tiny waist. He was standing slightly in profile between two well-muscled, but quite conspicuous bodyguards- making it clear he was someone important. I craned my neck, trying to get another look of him. The swell of his ass was barely able to be seen through the crowd of people, but it was there, and my hand was twitching to reach out and touch it.

"Fuck. Get ahold of yourself, Minho." I thought- I blinked slowly, tearing my eyes off his body to take in his face, wondering if it was half as good as the rest of him, and my breath caught again. His eyes were huge black pools of innocence-and I wanted to get lost in them. His face was round, but not at the same time. His lips-plump and kissable. His masculine jaw countered his cute cheeks in just such a way it compelled me to get closer- find out who this delicious creature was.

"Who is he?" I whispered to my tall valet, nodding slightly in the direction of the pretty man I'd been eye fucking for the last five minutes.

"Who?" Hyunjin asked, his eyes scanning the room- trying to understand. He searched, his long, graceful build an asset to try to see over the sea of people parting us.

"With the long hair- between the two meatheads." I explained.

He chuckled lightly and shrugged- "I don't know, but his bodyguard is kind of hot." He nudged me with his shoulder trying to get me to agree.

Just then my brother sidled up next to me, handing me a glass of Port. "Yeah- the bodyguard is hot, Jinnie." He conferred, his deep timbre joking, but serious. Hyunjin threw him a look of agitation.

"The pretty one?" He clarified and I gave him a sound of agreement.

"Yes, Felix- the pretty one, you know my type." I responded, taking a sip of the amber liquid- my eyes leveling onto the beautiful man once more.

"You should have paid attention to our lessons more." He chided.

"I pay attention plenty. What does that have to do with anything?" I groused.

"Because, if you did- you'd know that's Prince Jisung."

My eyes widened, realizing. "Shit."

"And nobody can get to him." Hyunjin added, understanding- everyone knew about the illusive Prince who was kept hidden away because, well nobody knew exactly why, but the fact remained. And the mysterious Prince was finally out in public, which only begged the question.

Why?

"Way to pick our enemy's son as your new sexual conquest." Felix mocked.

"That's not..." I began, but let the words dissipate. It wasn't that. Jisung... I let his name linger in my mind, filling every crevice and swirled it around, enjoying the way it felt, savoring it like a fine wine on the tongue. It was a strange way to describe it, but to me- to my brain, everyone's moniker had a flavor, of sorts. My brothers used to tease me about it. Assholes.

"I don't want to just bed him." I muttered, getting both their attention. I admittedly was a bit... roguish in that aspect, but Jisung was different. I just knew it. I had to meet him. Somehow.

"I want to get to know him..." Felix's eyebrows shot up, clearly surprised. I was rarely interested in more than a casual hookup of weekend fling.

"He intrigues me." I mused, taking another sip of my drink, noting that the port wine and Jisung's name tasted the same to me... sweet, a hint of chocolate covered raspberries. I couldn't wait to test my theory.

I looked between Hyunjin and Felix, my brother and best friend, and as sure as I'd ever been about anything in my life I declared.

"I'm going to marry him."

They both looked at me like I was insane- or at minimum, joking.

I wasn't.

I threw back the last mouthful of my drink and clarified.

"And you're both going to help."
