The Sacrifice of The Blood King: A Taekook Story

Chapter Twelve: The First Night

Warning: Slightly smutty chapter. You'll see...

...

Finally, you are mine.

Silence fills the bedchamber as Taehyung and Jungkook stand together in each other's arms. Not a word has passed between the two. Not a word has been said; their minds too consumed with a whirlwind of thoughts and doubts and concerns. Taehyung thinks upon what is about to come: he is now Jungkook's conquest. It has been accepted--mostly--by the Royal Court. That means Jungkook has free reign over his body now, which leaves the smaller ebony-haired prince trembling beneath Jungkook's touch. Jungkook focuses on his desires, trying to control them as he stares into Taehyung's golden eyes, watching the prince bite his bottom lip as he is lost in his own mind. Hesitantly, Jungkook steps back, giving Taehyung space to think. To breathe. The only sound that fills the bedchamber is the crackling of the roaring fire in the corner of the room. The king's hands run down Taehyung's arms, ending at his small wrists before gently caressing his elegant fingers.

"Taehyung—" a knock at the door interrupts him and Jungkook groans, "Who is it?" his voice sharp, cold and commanding; the tone startling Taehyung as his touch is so soft and so gentle.

"I know ya said not to interrupt, but I figured you'd want some food!" a voice at the door hollers, and Jungkook's eyes instantly brighten and he walks to the door with a big grin on his lips. When he opens it, a big burly man storms in, his arms holding two large trays of food. His head is bald, cheeks bright red as if wind-burned, with large lips that make him look almost like a fish. The man steps further into the room, setting the trays down on a table in the corner.

"Finn...it's been a while," Jungkook says as Finn pulls him into a big burly hug. Taehyung watches with curiosity and a bit of anxiety. He isn't sure if he should introduce himself or just stay quiet on the other side of the room.

"It has. It really has...I heard you brought back a cutie," Finn chimes, looking at Taehyung before surprising him with a bow, "Name's Finn. I'm the chef here. If you need anything, anything at all, just let me or Ollie know. She's the head maid and will do anything you need!" Taehyung smiles softly and bows respectfully too.

"Thank you, Finn, sir, but I'll be fine. Thank you for the meal," Taehyung says before Jungkook sets an arm on Finn's shoulder.

"That's actually not true. I need you to call for the tailor tomorrow. Taehyung will need to be fitted for some new clothes while he is here," Jungkook interjects and Finn smiles brightly.

"Consider it done! Now, do excuse me. You two have fun," Finn says with a wink before he saunters out of the room and Jungkook relocks the door.

"Shall we eat?" Jungkook quietly asks, his deep voice drawing Taehyung away from his whirling thoughts and back into reality. A kind of cold reality where his stomach is growling, he is covered in several days worth of dirt and sweat, and he is standing in Jungkook's bedchamber.

"Some food would be nice...that and a bath," Taehyung admits, before Jungkook smiles gently, the endearing look causing Taehyung's heart to flutter in his chest.

"Easily done. Let us eat, and then I will get a bath running for you," Jungkook says, gesturing for Taehyung to join him at the table, which he does. The two boys sit around a bowl full of thick brown broth, vegetables, potatoes, hefty chunks of meat, and a loaf of bread. Jungkook hands Taehyung a bowl and spoon, watching as the boy curiously stares at the stew, pushing it around a bit before taking a bite. The flavors burst on Taehyung's tongue and he moans in satisfaction, a bright smile on his lips as he takes another steaming bite of food.
