Taehyung's POV:-

Months had passed since that beautiful night. Me and her spent countless moments together since then, each one filled with laughter, intimacy, and a growing connection. I had grown more comfortable with her, my usual tough exterior slowly melting away to reveal the softer side I'd shown months ago. I still had to maintain my image for the sake of my work, but now I allowed myself to be vulnerable around her, knowing that she accepted me and won't judge me completely. I'm only soft towards her..

I had been very busy with some important business for the past few weeks, I was in aboard for a few weeks, my world of crime and darkness demanding my attention. I hadn't been able to see her nor spending time with her like before during this time, and I found myself missing her more and more with each passing day

Tonight, my work was finally done, today was the day I'll come back in Korea from paris, There were no meetings, no orders to give, no threats to make. Tonight, I was finally free, and the first thing I thought of doing was to see her

I got off the plane and made my way through the airport, my usually impassive expression replaced by a small smile. The thought of seeing her again, holding her in my arms was enough to lighten my mood despite the exhaustion from the trip. I checked my phone and saw the last message she'd sent me, a simple "I miss you taehyung" that had made my heart flutter

As I left the Incheon airport, I called my driver, instructing him to take me to my mansion, I couldn't wait to see her again, to hold her, to tell her how much I had missed her..

When the car rolled up to the front of my mansion, I practically leaped out, my eagerness to see her was almost overwhelming. I made my way to the front door, my pace was quick and urgent. I stepped inside, the familiar surroundings of my mansion not holding my attention the way they usually would. The security guards and the maids bowed at me but I ignored them, my thoughts were solely focused on one thing : her.

"Doll.."

I called out, my voice was echoing through the halls as I searched for her. I wandered through the rooms, checking the kitchen, the living room, the library. Each room was empty, no sign of her anywhere. My heart began to beat faster, a hint of worry starting to creep in. It wasn't like she to not be here waiting for me when I returned from a trip

I made my way upstairs, my footsteps growing quicker and more frantic. I checked her bedroom, then the study, but she were nowhere to be found. My anxiety grew, my mind starting to race with all kinds of worrying possibilities

But...

Suddenly I froze at the unexpected feel of someone hugging me from behind. My body tensed for a split second, my instincts instantly on alert. But then I recognized the scent. It was her scent, a scent I was so familiar with

I relaxed almost instantly, my body slumping slightly as I realized it was her. I let out a breath, my heart calming down as I turned around to face her

"I missed you so much.." she whispered

"I missed you too, doll.. So damn much."

"Sit.. take rest.." she suggested

I should.. I'm tired as fuck

So I nodded, my grip on her not loosening as I sat down on the couch of my room. I pulled her onto my lap, her body settling comfortably against mine. I rested my chin on her shoulder, my arms were still wrapped around her waist

As if I was afraid that she might disappear if I let her go...

I closed my eyes, my breath fanning gently against her skin as I spoke. My voice was laced with exhaustion, both physical and emotional, "I'm so tired, doll..." "I can see.." she said softly while rubbing her thumb on my knuckles. I hummed softly, the gentle touch of her thumb soothing my tired muscles. I leaned into her, My eyes stayed closed, but my grip on her waist tightened slightly, a silent wordless plea to stay close to me, to keep touching me..

"Doll, Don't stop... please..."

"Take a shower, you'll feel better" she said

I opened my eyes reluctantly, lifting my head from her shoulder to look at her. I knew she was right. A shower would help me feel fresher, less weary, but I was reluctant to let go of her, even for a moment.. I held her a bit tighter for a moment, then I sighed,

"Okay doll, But... you'll be here when I'm done, right?"

"Alright don't worry"

I still hesitated for a moment. It was almost as if I was afraid that if I let her go, she'd disappear...

But then I released my grip on her waist, my hands sliding reluctantly off her. I gave her a small, tired smile before getting up and heading towards the bathroom

"I'll be quick, doll."

I walked into the bathroom and undressed, the water from the shower instantly pelting down on me as I stepped into the cubicle. The hot water massaged my weary muscles, some of the tension in my body melting away. I knew I had to be quick, but I also took the time to enjoy the water's soothing balm on my skin. I leaned my forehead against the cool tiles, taking a few moments to just exist under the shower's spray. I washed quickly, but thoroughly, scrubbing away the days of travel and business meetings. Once I was done, I stepped out of the shower and dried myself off, wore a white robe

I looked at myself in the mirror for a moment, the exhaustion more evident on my face than I'd realized. And yet, there was also a sense of peace in my eyes, a relief at finally being with my home, at finally seeing her again.. I stepped out of the bathroom, drying my hair with a towel. There was a moment of pause when I saw her in my bed, her attention was focused on a book. I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, a small smirk forming on my face at the sight of the book. I walked over there and I sat down on the edge of the bed, looking over at her,

"Whatcha reading there doll?"

She flinched immediately and replied, "Oh n-no no.. it's n-nothing!!"

I reached out, gently tugging the book from her hands. I looked at the cover and I flipped open the book, browsing a few pages, seeing the contents of the book, my smirk widened. I closed the book, setting it aside. I looked over at her,

"A love story book of dark romance with full of smuts? Naughty doll... is this what you've been reading while I was gone?"

"I bet you've been thinking about me, haven't you?" I murmured lowly as I gently pushed her down onto the bed

"G-give m-me the book back!" She yelled and I held the book out of her reach, I pinned her wrists down above her head, as I spoke,

"No, doll.. I think I'll hold onto this for now"

"We have some... reading to do together."

I leaned down and whispered huskily,

"I wonder... have you marked any pages that caught your attention? Anything you'd like to... try?"

And I whispered again,

"Wanna recreate those scenes doll..? wanna do an experiment? Trust me, I can do better than you can ever imagine.."
