Chapter Fifteen: Blessed

Hey all! Sorry, it took me so long to write this chapter. Life has been...well life. Anyways, onto the story! I hope you enjoy it. Warning, it's spicy fluff (if you know you know). Enjoy!

Jungkook digs through his wardrobe while a robed Taehyung sits on the bed, his fingers gently dancing over embroidered fabrics and furs on the bed. These garments are finer than anything he has ever seen or touched, yet Jungkook offers them to him as if it means nothing. Jungkook doesn't realize how much Taehyung appreciates the gesture to clothe him like an equal and not like the sacrifice his family had deemed him to be. Jungkook distractedly looks for thick fleece breeches Taehyung can wear underneath his trousers, completely unaware of the storm of thoughts running through the small prince's mind. Instead, he focuses on the task at hand, knowing the two will be out in the cold for a long time, and he doesn't want Taehyung to freeze.

"Here we go," Jungkook chimes, pulling out some fleece-lined underclothes and setting them beside Taehyung. Taehyung looks at the clothes on the bed, not sure which layer goes where and how much of it he is supposed to wear. Jungkook notices and sighs softly, "Put those on beneath your trousers, kitten. They are to keep you warm," Jungkook says and Taehyung nods slowly.

"Right...okay...will you turn around, please?" Taehyung quietly asks, his robe sliding slowly over his caramel shoulder, highlighting sharp collar bones marked in lovebites and the silver chain that dangles down his chest and glimmers in the firelight. There's a look in Jungkook's eyes that has Taehyung blushing when the king slowly steps back, a smirk curling on his lips with each step he takes. The sound of his boots are muffled by the rugs, yet there is a blaze that never leaves Jungkook's gaze. He sits in a chair facing Taehyung, his legs crossing as he leans back, piercing Taehyung with that powerful and predatorial stare that has the prince blushing even brighter.

"It is nothing I haven't seen before," Jungkook says, his tone challenging while also telling Taehyung he will not look away. Taehyung thinks of Vina and the things she said. To secure his safety, he must play along, yet what if Jungkook tires of waiting for him, or loses interest or-- "Do you have nothing to say, kitten?" Jungkook's deep voice pulls him from his thoughts and Taehyung shakes his head. He notices Jungkook's eyes soften, a gleam of concern flashing through those dark eyes, yet Taehyung doesn't want to worry him. He doesn't want Jungkook to think he dislikes him, because that isn't true. So instead, he plasters a small smile on his lush lips.

"No, my king. Nothing to say," he says before a faint playful gleam touches his golden eyes and he stands. Jungkook watches in shock and awe as Taehyung boldly lets the robe slide from his shoulders, framing caramel skin, brown pert nipples, and the silver chain wrapped around his neck. The king gulps as his desire spikes, yet he keeps a stoic face even as Taehyung's gleaming eyes pierce into him while he slides the robe lower and lower; down his chest to his narrow waist, then off his lean arms. Taehyung holds it in his fingers for a moment before letting gravity take hold and pull the fabric to the floor. Taehyung shivers at the heated gaze in Jungkook's eyes, the flames sparking something within him. Jungkook mumbles a curse under his breath before he stands and slowly stalks towards Taehyung.

"Jungkook...?" Taehyung says, his confidence faltering under the king's dominant stare. Jungkook stops when he is mere inches from Taehyung, his hands migrating to the prince's curvy hips, softly caressing the flesh there.

"You have been seriously blessed by the gods..." Jungkook purrs, his deep voice exposing the desire he feels. Taehyung blushes at those words, ducking his head so he no longer has to see Jungkook's heated gaze. He should've known he would lose against Jungkook in the game of dominance and confidence. He knows better than to fall into Jungkook's challenges.
