THE DARKEST HOPE

Chapter 14

Chapter 14

Another late autumn morning came and Jimin woke up feeling refreshed and relaxed. Outside the window the air seemed crystal clear and the sun was shining brighter than ever. Only its light seemed like it didn't supply any warmth at all. One could feel even from the inside the chilly bites in the air and the smell of the incoming winter.

It was warm under the blankets though and Jimin smiled contently. He felt like he finally got all that much needed sleep he was constantly not getting enough of. He felt full of energy and in a great mood. "Yeah, today might be a good day." He thought lazily. Probably it was time to get up.

He shifted a little and suddenly he became aware of the warm cosy feeling of a strong arm embracing him. Jungkook was pinned closely behind his back, holding him tightly against his chest. Jimin waited a few minutes, enjoying the pleasant, yet unfamiliar sensation. He wondered for a while if it wasn't a better idea to just close back his eyes and sleep a little more, cuddled comfortably just like that, but he finally decided that it was probably better to just get up and attend to his duties.

Jimin cautiously tried to remove Jungkook's arm and free himself without waking the other. When it didn't budge he tried harder to free himself. To his dismay all he achieved was to actually make it clasp around his body tighter and pull him up even closer against Jungkook's warm shape.

"Mmmm, where are you going?" mumbled Jungkook sleepily." Just stay here." And he nuzzled his nose against Jimin's neck.

Jimin almost laughed wit dismay.

"Jungkookie, I have to get up." He tried again. Made some effort to try and prick loose the arm pinning him down, but Jungkook was much stronger than him and he quickly gave up, it was no use. Jungkook just embraced him tighter and buried his face against Jimin's neck. Jimin stopped trying and just tried to relax, Jungkook's behavior triggered in him irritation and amusement at the same time. It surely was way beyond his line of tolerance, but then again if it was so intolerable, why was he putting up with it? Jimin closed his eyes and exhaled slowly. "Jungkookie, please..." he tried one more time.

"Five more minutes. Just let's stay like that a little longer." Jungkook whispered pleadingly against Jimin's shoulder without ever loosening his grip. The warm and tickling breath against his skin, lit sparkles of excitement inside Jimin. Hot shiver ran down his spine. He bit his lips to try and control his body.

"What is happening to me?" Jimin was thinking confused. Just then another wave of pleasing shivers washed through his body with the next flow of air Jungkook exhaled. Jimin clenched his fist around the sheets. His thought were getting blurry. His excitement increased every minute and his reason was disappearing fast. All he could feel was the intoxicating feeling of Jungkook's powerful embrace and his hot breath against his neck. Jimin tightly shut his eyes, trying to recollect his thoughts. It was a lost cause. His body was betraying him, he was getting really aroused by this. "Jungkookie..." his voice sounded like a husky whispered sigh even to his own ears.

Jungkook was one of those creatures whose sincere but primal nature often drove him to act first and think about it later. Now he was holding Jimin against his chest enjoying every minute of it. Jimin's smell, his slender, built body, his warmth. He felt that Jimin was trying vaguely to free himself but wasn't ready to let go yet, this moment felt too good. Finally Jungkook released his grip and the other could move again.

Jimin turned around and looked at Jungkook. He had lost all his composure and all he felt now was the fire inside his body. Jungkook was just looking at him with his warm eyes and a tiny smile on his lips. Then his gaze moved across Jimin's face, studying every detail of it and finally fixated on his eyes. That smile slowly disappeared and the air in the room somehow became thicker.
