The Rules: Book Five

Chapter 13

Later that night, Pak and Jae were lying in bed together. Jae was recapping her day and discussing everything she and Ami worked on. He ran his hand over her hip, holding her as Jae talked. After a while, she noticed he wasn't listening.

"Hey, Kai. Is everything OK?" She rolled over and looked at him in the dimly lit room. He felt her run her hand down his arm and then take his hand.

"Yeah. It was, um, an eye-opening day, I suppose."

"Oh? When? During your secret-man-meeting?"

"What?" He frowned, confused, as she grinned.

"Kook came and told us you were going to a secret man-meeting to talk about weddings. Is everything OK?" She now worried that something was wrong with the wedding plans.

"OH. That's funny...no. Wedding stuff is all on schedule as far as I know."

"So what is it? Was it a bad eye-opening day or a good eye-opening day?" Jae reached up and played with his hair as he thought for a moment. "Good, I think. Yes, very good."

She giggled as he rolled her onto her back and positioned himself between her legs. He leaned down over her, resting on his forearms to look into her face. "The guys and I had a long, in-depth, real conversation about you girls. Not as BTS and Security, but as men who love their partners and have a strong understanding and appreciation for the situation we're all in."

"Oh, and what situation are we all in?" she grinned as he leaned in and started kissing her collarbone. "It means I finally concede we are truly part of their umbrella."

"Umbrella?" Jae squirmed as he nibbled on her ear.

"We thought it fit a little better than 'harem' because that word holds a different meaning, and that part will never change between all of us. You are only mine, and Ami is only theirs." He whispered in her ear and watched goosebumps break out across her body. He then pulled back and stared into her shocked face. "Wait, but all jokes aside, you actually agreed to be part of their harem?"

"Umbrella. Very-very different meaning, but yes." He started kissing down her front as she closed her eyes and let out a little moan. "I trust them to protect and care for you as much as they trust me with Ami. So, we're under the same umbrella." He stopped and looked up at her face as she opened her eyes and looked down at him.

Jae propped herself on her elbows to see him better, "So, what does that all mean? Is it different now?"

"No. Nothing's different." He smiled sweetly at her.

"So, how did..." She started to ask, but before she could get out her question, he crawled up her body and shoved his lips on hers, kissing her with intense passion. Jae quickly gave in and joined him, kissing, hugging, and groping each other.

Jae relaxed completely as she felt him make love to her, unlike he had before. Every time she came, it pushed him to keep going. He loved making each of her orgasms bigger than the last. He paid attention to every part of her, worshiping her as she ended in a smiling, exhausted mess. He laid beside her, trailing his fingertips over her sweaty body, "Jesus, Kai. That was different." She flopped her head to the side with a glazed smile.

"Good different, I hope."

Jae rolled, pressing her body against him as they wrapped in each other's arms, pushing her face into his neck. "Very good," she murmured before falling into a deep sleep. Pak listened to her breathe for a while, thinking over this conversation with the guys and then Jae. He smiled to himself as he closed his eyes. He did feel a little different. It was a sense of calm. Knowing seven other guys honestly had his and Jae's back released some stress he didn't realize he was holding onto. Nothing had changed except everything.
