I turn my head to see a surprisingly calm Mr. G standing there. For some reason Hoseok grips my arm tighter and Yoongi and Jungkook move closer to me. Are they trying to protect me...or him?

"Yes, we need to talk to you about her." Namjoon says,

"Come into my office, leave her out here to wait," he glances at me and then his eyes settle on Taehyung, "Taehyung wait with her, she could do something dreadful in my absence."

Taehyung nods and turns to smirk at me.

Why him?!

Mr. G turns and the others follow him into the office, Hoseok giving me one last smile before he leaves.

"So...just me and you, angel," Taehyung's deep voice echoes through my ears, making my heart rate increase rapidly.

I watch in anxiety as he walks closer to me smirking, he grabs my hand surprisingly softly, engulfing my small paw in his large one. He gently pulls me over to one of the large white sofas and sits me on his lap. I instantly try to scurry off but he wraps his strong arms around my waist so I can't escape his hold. "Aish, why do you want to run away from me, angel? I'm not going to hurt you or anything."

He looks down at me.

"Since you're going to be here with us now, you should tell me about yourself." He smiles sweetly, a huge contrast to his previously sexy demeanour.

"Mmm, no, I want to learn about you." I smile fakely, I can play this game too.

"Come on, Ariiiiiii!" He pouts, jutting his bottom lip out and looking like the cutest thing in the world. I just want to reach out and squish his cheeks. "I can see the pink in your eyes, Ari, we all know what that means."

I feel my cheeks heat up as I blush ferociously. I hide my face in my hands, "Shut up."

"I was right, I knew you liked me." He chuckles in his deep voice and I remove my hands from my face.

"How can I like you when I hardly know you?"

"I saw the way you looked at me in the meeting room when you first met everyone." He smirks cheekily, knowing he's caught me out.

I roll my eyes, "So what? Maybe I don't like you, maybe I just think you're hot."

Shit.

I cover my mouth and turn away from him, hearing his deep chuckle. "I didn't mean for it to come out like that."

"Of course you didn't, angel, it's okay, I understand." I can make out the hint of satisfaction in his voice.

I look back at him, "Seriously, how would I like you? I've only known you for a few days and you've got a very strange personality. Lot's of duality."

"Sometimes people like us just connect, maybe that's how it works with our race."

I roll my eyes. This boy, seriously, "Shut up and let me off your lap."

"No, I like having you in my arms, angel, I could get used to this." his hold on me tightens and he smirks again.

"Can you stop smirking and smile like a normal human being?"

"Come on, baby, you know we're neither normal or human," he rubs one of his large hands on my back soothingly. In a quick attempt to escape his arms I pull his one arm holding me down really hard to get it off me, give up, and try crawling over his arm. It doesn't work so well...

He just pulls me back and holds me down on the sofa, his body now leaning over mine, his hand holding my waist tightly but not so much that it hurts.

I groan, "Seriously, what is your problem?"

"You know we have a connection, why are you so reluctant?" His deep brown eyes gaze deeply into my pink ones, his warm breath whisping onto my face as his gaze travels to my lips. He looks back up at my eyes surprisingly without a smirk, our faces only inches apart.

I take this opportunity to analyse his face; his big doe eyes, long dark lashes, creamy caramel skin, the little moles on his nose, lip and near his eye, the plumpness of his smooth pink lips, the large yet perfect nose, his silver hair gently resting against my forehead. His eyes are travelling across my face too, both caught in the moment.

"Seems like you two are having fun."

Taehyung looks up startled, hesitating before sitting up and pulling me back up from being pinned down by him. A light blush crosses his cheeks, he looks so flustered it's adorable, "We were just talking."

I look over to see the whole unit and Mr. G standing there. Jimin, Hoseok and Jungkook are sniggering, Namjoon and Yoongi are smirking, meanwhile Jin looks disapprovingly at us. Mr. G rolls his eyes, "Interesting type of talking."

"I don't know if you know but you can read her emotions through her eyes, that's what I was doing." Taehyung growls stands up, sliding his fingers around my wrist and pulling me up too. Again, what's with his aggression?

Mr. G nods, not looking convinced at all, "Pink? Turning white?"

"It's not important." Taehyung says, scratching the back of his neck, all embarrassed.

"Everyone sit down. I need to talk to you all about the next mission." Mr. G leads everyone over to the sofa me and Taehyung were sitting on. I gently push Taehyung's chest so he sits down. Realising there aren't that many seats I make a quick decision to sit back on Taehyung's lap.

He clearly wasn't going to complain.

His arms automatically wrap around my waist, pulling me closer to him so my back is touching his chest. He gently pushes my hair behind my ear and waits for everyone else to sit down. There still aren't enough seats but who cares, it's Mr. G who has to stand up.

"As you may or may not know we have a current crisis of gangs rising in Eden." he glances around the room, checking we are all listening, "There is a core reason for this."

"The richest man in the country, Vincent Redwood." Namjoon interrupts and Mr. G nods his head.

"He has been forming gangs in an attempt to take over Eden and become the most powerful man in the world. With money comes power."

I look around the penthouse and see exactly that.

"He is holding a large dinner party in two days. I want you to kill him and bring me any evidence of what he's been doing." his eyes catch mine, "I think Ariana should go in with a date. Maybe Taehyung since you two get on so well."

"I don't think that would be a good idea, they would probably get distracted." mumbles Jin loud enough so everyone could hear.

"I agree." I say, "We all know what Taehyung's like."

"What's that supposed to mean, baby?" Taehyung coos in my ear, sending shivers down my spine.

"Me too, I think Jungkook, he'll be able to hack into his computer once they get inside. Ari has good fighting skills she can fight if she needs to." Namjoon states,

"She should distract Mr. Redwood. She clearly has the looks and body for it, then we can do what we need to do while he's focusing on her." Jin nods,

I show my disgust clearly on my face, "Do I really have to do that? How old is this guy?"

"About 25, so quite young. Don't worry, you don't have to do too much with him."

"If he touches you I'll kill him myself." Taehyung whispers against my ear, his voice taking a threatening tone. I feel his hold on me tighten. Almost uncomfortably so.

"You're okay with that, right, Ari?"

I sigh, "I guess so."

"You'll need these two days to train and rest. You need to be on top form for this mission. Ariana, we'll get you and Jungkook some fancy clothes, you two need to mentally prepare yourselves for this." Mr. G orders, running his hand through his hair. I'm surprised about how normal he's being, maybe the guys said something to him earlier? "This is a mission you can't fail, Phuture depends on it."
