Crimson Ties: The Mafia Bride [18+]

Twenty Five (Thank you for 1k)

I laid in bed trying to process what had just happened... Great this is the second time someone has seen me naked cause of a shower attack. I sighed to myself feeling my face burning up. 'why was he even in here?' I thought to myself. I slowly got out of bed and headed to the kitchen. There was some chocolates, wine, and a small stuff animal. Jungkook must of gotten that for his girlfriend or something.

 "Hey," His voice coming from behind me causing me to jump a bit. "Uh, hey..." He walked over to me and stood next to me, "I got these for you. Thought it might cheer you up after what had happened today." I looked at the items in front of me. "Thank you. I thought they were Valentine presents for someone else ." he chuckled, "These are for you... I hope you like them." He looked at me and started walking away. "Wait Jungkook," he stopped, turning around to face me. I don't want to be alone tonight. Not after what just happened. "Would you like to drink wine with me?" I held the wine bottle in my hands, "Sure." He came back to the kitchen and grabbed two wine glasses placing them down. He handed me the cork screw. I opened the bottle, a loud pop echoing throughout the house. "What brand is this?" I ask him while pouring the wine in the cups. "To be honest I bought whatever wine I thought you might like. It wasn't a cheap one that's for sure." He took a sip of the wine. 

The night was quite between us two. The only thing you can hear was the soft classical music Jungkook had playing throughout the speakers in the house. We sat down on the couch looking at the fireplace in front of us. I was now on my third glass.

 "So the Cold Princess of Paris has been acting out of character latly." Cold Princess?... Oh right that's the stupid name they gave me. "How so, Dark Prince of Korea?" I stated in a teasing  tone.

 " When I first met her she had this strong and menacing aura about her. Soon after knowing her for a few months she was this completely different person. She's still cold blooded but hides from others her true self only those that are careful and watch her closely are able to see that she has a soft side to her." He swirled his drink taking another sip. "Today I saw that you wanted to cry when the shooting happened." 

I looked down at the cup in my hands, "They were like family. As messed up as the relationship was... They watched me grow up and even taught me how to use weapons and defend myself." I could feel Jungkooks eyes now focus on me, "Most of them were my mother's bodyguards... So of course when I was younger I would spend most of my time with them. But, when I tried to kill my father they all went against me. The thirty men that were killed today were all that was left of my mother's bodyguards." A few tears slid down my face I quickly wiped them away. "I- I didn't want to kill them bu-but I had no choice."

 Jungkook got closer to me taking mine and his wine glass and placing it down on the coffee table in front of us. He grabbed a blanket pulled me closer to him, his figure nearly covering me. The warmth of his body making me feel safe and protected like when my mom would hold me close to her when I would get hurt. 

Jungkook spoke in a low whisper, "This whole mafia business isn't for everyone. I had to kill a few of my friends in the past, so I know how you feel. The truth is we're just puppets for our fathers. I know you didn't what to kill them," I bared my face into his chest placing my hands on his chest in an attempt to hug him back. "To be honest after what happened today I didn't want to be alone." I said my voice sounding muffled. Jungkook hummed bringing me closer to him. "We can stay here as long as you like Y/N." He kissed the top of my head; he adjusted the blanket so it covered the both of us perfectly. I sighed feeling a bit of relief escape from my previous tension.

An hour or so had passed; Jungkooks eyes were closed, I guess he feel asleep? I slowly tried moving away from him to not wake him up. He grunted and pulled me closer and tighter towards him. Shit now what do I do? "Jungkook," I whispered, "Hey, wake up," No response. I looked up at him and saw a smile forming on his face... WAS HE FAKING THIS WHOLE TIME!

I chuckled slightly, "Jungkook if you don't let me go I'll bite your nipple." His eyes opened, "You wouldnt." I opened my mouth in gesture that I was going to bite one, he quickly let go laughing... Well more like a panicked laugh, "Oh gosh you were serious." I got up from the couch and stood in front of him. "I grew up with two brothers I know what works as a threat and what doesn't." 

He rubbed his eyes, "You got me Princess." Jungkook placed his hands on my hips and pulled me closer to him. His cheeks were a light shade of red, the alcohol must of taken affect on him. "Jungkook I'm not... I'm not ready for anything serious. That's why I told you to forgot what happened at the pool. I don't know what could happen in the future, but I rather stay single for awhile." He looked up at me lifting my shirt and placing a few kisses on my belly. I took a step back Jungkook held my hand and stood up, "I know. But we don't need to do anything serious, I just want to kiss you and hold you in my arms. Anything that goes further then that it's up to you and if you allow me to do it. I won't force myself onto you. If you don't want me to do anything then I'll respect that." I sighed looking down at our hands, "I hardly know you. We've been married for three or four months now and I don't know you all that well. I don't think I can do this yet."

"Right, I understand. Then I won't try to proceed an longer." He gently let go of my hand and was making his way towards the stairs. "Good night Y/n I'll see you in the morning... We have a meeting."

No thats not what I meant please... Don't go... I enjoyed talking with you, the actual first kiss we had, and the hug we shared, everything I experienced with him these past few months felt genuine, I don't want that to end. My body moved on its own before my mind could even process what I was doing. I grabbed his hand stopping him mid way up the stairs, "I want to know you better. I'm just not ready for the whole... You know. At any given time I could die or be killed by an assassin. I just don't want to die knowing I could of had something with you... that my life could of had actual meaning to it... I ju-" Damn it; It didn't come out the way I wanted to I'm not good with my words. The wine was taking effect, he held both my hands, "I understand what you mean Y/n. We can go slow and just get to know each other before we do anything serious. Is that okay?"

 "Ye-yeah. I'm sorry I'-" before I could finish he kissed me, I lost my balance slightly and held onto him deepening the kiss. "Get some sleep Y/n. I'll see you in the morning." He walked up the stairs and into his room. I collapsed in the stairway and just sat there thinking about what just happened.

 I'm not sure if I should have said anything or have gone along with it; but if I did do it with him would I have been happy with that chose?
