"you're staring, tae," de'arra said softly, her cheeks flushing as she glanced out the window.

taehyung's lips curled into a smirk. "how can i not, babe? you're pure perfection."

she shook her head, her blush deepening. "stop it. i'm not."

he leaned closer, his hand resting on her thigh as his thumb traced gentle circles. "you are, my perfect little one."

her fingers slid into his dark hair, massaging his scalp. taehyung's eyes fluttered shut for a moment as he sighed. "i love it when you do that."

de'arra giggled, her touch shifting to the faint scar on his neck. "what happened here, bear?"

his eyes darkened slightly, a flicker of his past surfacing. "one of my rivals during a mission in daegu."

"missions?" her brows furrowed as she traced the scar.

he nodded, intertwining their fingers. "it's part of the job. but let's not talk about that tonight. you'll see soon enough where we're going."

when they arrived at the restaurant, de'arra's eyes widened as she spotted waiters holding massive bouquets of her favorite flowers.

"babe, you planned all this?" she gasped, her eyes sparkling.

taehyung's signature rectangular smile appeared. "of course. anything for you."

"how did you even know my favorite flowers?" she asked, tilting her head as her hands slipped around his neck.

he smirked, his lips brushing hers. "i do my homework."

a soft kiss sealed his words, leaving her dazed and giddy.

"good evening," a waiter greeted them. "please follow me to your table."

taehyung's hand rested possessively on her lower back as they followed the waiter to an elegantly set table.

"love, relax," he murmured, sensing her nerves. "wine?"

she shook her head with a small laugh. "just one glass. i don't trust myself with too much. i might end up strip-teasing after a few."

his lips quirked into a teasing smile. "i wouldn't mind a little show."

her playful smack on his chest only made him chuckle.

her eyes scanned the room. "why are we alone?"

"because tonight is all about you," he said softly, his voice dropping an octave. "no interruptions, no distractions. just us."

de'arra's cheeks reddened as she fidgeted with her fingers.

taehyung leaned forward, his expression turning serious. "let me show you what i'm capable of, beyond the whole 'mob boss' persona." his thumb grazed her knuckles. "i don't have to tell you how much you mean to me—you'll see it in my actions. but we have to be real with each other. no walls."

"vulnerable and open," she finished for him, her shy smile meeting his steady gaze.

"good girl," he murmured, bringing her hand to his lips, kissing it softly.

"i have something for you. close your eyes, love."

her giggle filled the quiet space as she obeyed, covering her eyes.

"open them," he whispered, brushing a kiss to her collarbone.

her breath hitched as her fingers grazed the ocean-blue sapphire pendant around her neck. "tae... it's beautiful."

"not as beautiful as you," he replied, his lips meeting hers in a tender kiss.

later that evening, they returned to one of taehyung's private hotels. dinner had been perfect.

de'arra emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a towel, her damp hair cascading over her shoulders. taehyung, shirtless and in boxers, glanced up from his phone. his gaze darkened as it traveled from her legs to her flushed face.

"fuck..." his deep voice made her heart race.

her back met the wall as he closed the distance between them. his hands slid around her waist, pulling her close.

their eyes locked—hers soft and unsure, his hungry and intense.

de'arra's fingers traced his lips, trembling slightly. taehyung caught her finger between his teeth, biting it gently before releasing it.

summoning her courage, she jumped into his arms, pressing her lips to his. taehyung growled lowly, pinning her to the wall as he deepened the kiss. his hand cupped her ass, earning a soft moan from her.

"you're so fucking beautiful, arra," he murmured, carrying her to the bed and laying her down gently.

her hands flew up to cover her face, but he stopped her, kissing each wrist tenderly.

"don't hide from me, love. everything about you is perfect."

his lips trailed down her neck, biting and sucking until faint red marks bloomed on her skin. "you belong to me. only me. understood?"

her breath hitched. "yes, i'm yours. only yours," she whispered.

"may i?" his fingers toyed with the edge of her towel, his gaze seeking her consent.

her nod was shy but sure.

taehyung unwrapped the towel, his breath catching as he took her in. "so mesmerizing," he whispered, kissing her skin with reverence.

their bodies moved together, her hands clung to his shoulders as he pushed deeper, his whispered praises blending with her soft moans.

when they were done, she hid her face in his chest, her fingers tracing the tattoos on his stomach.

"thank you," she murmured, her voice muffled.

he tilted her chin up, his thumb brushing her cheek. "did you enjoy it?"

her shy smile and slight nod made his chest swell.

as sleep overtook her, he pressed a soft kiss to her temple. "i love you, my precious angel."

her sleepy voice replied, "i love you. thank you for saving me."

his arms tightened around her. "i'll always protect you."
