Blood Tie

Chapter 36

Jungkook's POV

I instantly regretted letting that word leave my mouth. I answered without thinking but felt my stomach drop at the downright gleeful expression on Jimin's face. Jimin tapped his finger lightly against his chin in mock contemplation as the glint in his eyes showed he already had come to a decision. I inwardly sighed at his dramatics and waited for him to speak with baited breath. His eyes flicked up to Rox briefly before returning to me. Right before he spoke I felt Rox stiffen next to me at his sudden attention to her .

"Okay Kook, I dare you to go into the closet with Rox for, let's say ten minutes instead of seven." I felt myself freeze as the words tumbled from his mouth. Rox could not get any stiffer at this point and ignoring the snickering from around the room, I let my gaze drift to Yoongi. Yoongi appeared to be staring ahead of him at Jin with a rather intense expression on his face. He did not turn to look at me or Rox but I did notice his hands clenching into fists as they rested on his thighs. I glanced down at Rox who refused to look at me. I could not focus on anything but her small form still pressed against me at that point. I know I should take the drink but the intensity of how badly I wanted to be alone with her again was pulling at my coherent thoughts. Before I could let myself give into my selfish cravings, I made my decision and spoke up.

"I'll drink Jimin." Jimin looked disappointed at my statement and everyone in the room seemed to deflate other than Yoongi who appeared to perk up and Rox who whipped around to stare at me in exasperation.

"You can't drink anymore of that ambrosia Jungkook, you've already had 2 glasses, any more and it could be dangerous." I watched her small face as the words left her lips, my heart thudding in my chest from her concern.

"The game is truth, dare or drink, I'm not going to do something you don't want so I have to drink as per the rules." I tried to reassure her with my words only to see a hard look settle on her face. Before anything else could be said, she stood up abruptly and grabbed my hand tightly, pulling me to stand up from the couch. I stumbled and found her settling her other hand against my chest to steady me as her face became more stubborn.

"Yeah, you're definitely not drinking anymore, let's go." With that statement, Rox began pulling me towards a closet as I could hear hoots coming from behind our retreating backs. I turned to look behind us to see Yoongi staring at the floor looking defeated and Changkyun staring harshly at Jimin.

"Have fun you two! If nothing happens in there, I'm shoving you two right back in!" Jimin was standing and waving cheekily at us, tossing a wink in my direction. I felt myself flush before having Rox close the closet door, cutting off the light and my view. The room was dark but I could feel how small the enclosed space appeared to be. It appeared to be a small tea room, only having the space for two arm chairs and a small table in between them. I only then noticed Rox's small, soft hand still in mine, warmth radiating from our intertwined hands.

"Why did you bring me in here Rox? I would have been fine just taking the drink."

"I wasn't going to let you drink more of that stuff, it's dangerous."

"You don't want to be in here with me Rox, I can tell you're uncomfortable, I can feel it."

"Yes, I'm uncomfortable but not for the reasons you think and before you ask, no I don't want to talk about it."

I stayed silent after her statement and tried not to focus on how close she stood to me. Her scent surrounded me, almost beckoning me to her. I refused to move though, I was done pushing things on her, I wouldn't do that again. I had resigned myself to sitting on the arm chair and just waiting it out, until I felt her soft hand on my neck and her lips press against mine.

Rox's POV

I could hear Jungkook shift as he sat down, our conversation ending in an intense silence, the air filling with tension. Before I could think twice about it, I allowed myself to lay my hand against his neck and pressed my lips against his. I could feel him go still before kissing me back gently but not moving any closer to me. He pulled away from my lips and stayed silent in the dark for a moment.

"Why did you kiss me Rox?"

"Jimin said if we didn't do anything in here, he would send us back in." Jungkook said nothing after this and I could feel his head drop in the slightest as my hand still laid against his neck. Guilt flooded through me at how callous I had just sounded. I had been trying to convince myself that was the only reason I had kissed him, but after feeling his reaction, I couldn't keep trying to convince myself. I wanted it, I wanted this, even knowing that I was going to be going on a date with Yoongi, I still wanted this. Besides it's part of the game, so this is okay, right? I'm playing the game.

"I-I also want to do this, it's not just because of what Jimin said." I could feel my face flooding with heat and thanked whatever higher power existed that we were in a dark room. I dropped my hand from Jungkook's neck and was about to step away until I felt his large hands place themselves on my hips. I felt my stomach flip as he gently pulled me towards him until my legs were flush against his knees. His hands then slowly slid from my hips down my thighs, hooking under my knees and pulling me closer. He lifted my thighs enough to settle me on his lap, now having me straddle him as he sat in the arm chair. I felt my breath catch in my throat as my hands settled on his forearms, I could feel the muscles twitching under his skin. His thighs were rippling with muscle and shifted underneath me, making me sit flush in his lap. At this point I was intensely aware that I was wearing a skirt and felt the insane urge to climb off his lap and run as far away as I could. Even more insane, I felt the urge to give in to the hard body beneath me and do whatever he wanted. His hands squeezed my thighs gently and he leaned close to my neck before speaking. His hot breath fanned against my neck and shivers erupted through me as the words left his mouth. "Well in that case baby girl, let me give you what you want."
