Seokjin's Pov:

The word "sore" does not even describe how I felt. After I got out of the shower, I went straight to bed. This guy had deceived me and given me misleading information about himself. I now believe that this is the reason why his spouse cheated on him; the fact that he misrepresented himself was probably too much for him to handle.

"Babe, would you like something to eat?"

I don't know when the hell I turned into a babe. When I twisted my head to look towards the doorway to my room, I came dangerously close to breaking my neck by the speed I had done it. His word choice confused me.

I'm willing to wager that he does this and uses phrases like these to attempt to get innocent guys like me into his bed while simultaneously portraying himself in a false light as being kind and caring. Well, I'm not dumb. I have seen the light and know what he is like.

Anyway, I'm starving, so I'll put my pride aside for the time being and eat. I will not stand in his way if he wants to attend to my needs. He is the one who has me bound to this bed in the first place. I should have him also feed me.

"Yes, I am hungry." Babe!

"What kind of food would you want to eat?" He entered the room and then went to the side of the bed where I was lying.

"Surprise me." Let him figure it out. As long as it was something that could be digested easily, I didn't really care what it was. I had no particular preferences at the moment and was open to anything.

"How are you feeling?" he said as his hand crept forward and stroked my tummy, and I glanced at him in confusion.

Wow, he is quite skilled in this area.

"I am okay. You caused me to feel exhausted, but other than that, I'm fine."

He needs to feel guilty for his actions; all of that was unnecessary.

"I am sorry, and I promise I will be more careful next time. Because you are pregnant, you must also be a lot more sensitive, right?"

Next time? Yeah, no.

When I didn't respond to him, he leaned forward and kissed my stomach, "I will get you something to eat."

Wow, I can't believe how dangerous this guy is. How can he keep a straight face while doing all of these things? This needs to be classified as a criminal offense.

"Sure, thank you."

Jungkook's Pov:

If there is anything that I want, I will fight for it, and I will not give in under any circumstances. I am the kind of guy that does not like to lose.

When my ex-husband first began cheating on me throughout our marriage, I had no desire to continue fighting for our marriage. I didn't consider losing him to be a loss at all. I didn't divorce him immediately because I had a lot going on with my business. Any negative news about my company going public may have affected its performance, and my hard work was far more important.

From my current vantage point, I am pleased with my decision. I placed my business first, and it is now a multibillion-dollar enterprise. I am well-known worldwide, and many unsuccessfully attempt to mimic my achievements.

In addition to having a successful business, I also have a husband who is best suited for me. Seokjin is exceptional in almost every way.

Aside from his shopping obsession, he is a unique guy.

Earlier today, my genuine intentions were to give him a bath, demonstrate that I had sides he has yet to see and make him realize that I have interests outside of work. I am aware that I am misunderstood most of the time, particularly regarding my job. However, my objectives immediately changed when I saw him naked; I couldn't get that image out of my mind.

Even after seeing him naked, I did my best to maintain self-control; it had been a long time for me, and I knew that if I lost it, it wouldn't be a good thing; I was doing okay until he kissed me.

His lips are dangerous. It is quite challenging for me to be in the kitchen while he stays in bed in our bedroom. When I went upstairs to ask him what he wanted to eat and saw him, I had to remind myself that he was pregnant and that today was probably difficult for him.

I don't believe he anticipated me to be the way I was either; I believe he believed I was lacking in that area; if only he knew how much I held back. I hope he realizes I am a man of many talents and stops judging me with his eyes.

Seokjin's Pov:

After finishing my dinner, I walked to the bathroom and went through the rest of my nightly routine before returning to bed. The soup Jungkook had cooked for me was acceptable; it was not outstanding, but it was satisfactory. Because I ate everything, he probably got the impression that I loved what he made, but the truth is that I was just hungry.

When I returned to my room, I was startled to see him standing bare-chested on the other side of my bed and staring at me.

I took a large breath in and turned my head away from him as I did so. I then swallowed. This guy did not want me to have these children; otherwise, why the heck was he making me have a heart attack like this?

When I looked at him, he smiled and said, "I don't normally go to bed early, but I am still jet-lagged from today."

I am no fool; he wants to get in my pants again. Well, shorts right now, but either way, he wants inside them. Not happening. I have learned my lesson.

"There is nothing wrong with sleeping early." I returned a smile to him. I had to be polite; I couldn't have him knowing what I was thinking, especially when I wanted him to make me breakfast.

After making my way over to the bed, I grabbed my body pillow and placed it in the center of the bed in as much of an extended position as I could manage. Next, I got some of the other pillows and piled them on top of the body pillow while maintaining a cheerful expression on my face. "I don't want to roll over you."

Even though I wasn't going to roll, I didn't need to be poked while sleeping.

Also, since Yoongi passed away, this has been my primary way of sleeping. Having the pillows and body pillow packed around me provides me with comfort. It was difficult to adjust to sleeping alone after becoming accustomed to Yoongi lying next to me every night. I was forced to find my source of solace since I missed the warmth of his body.

"That's okay with me." As a response, he yanked all the pillows off the bed and threw them onto the ground.

I was speechless as I gaped at him in shock.

"Seokjin, you are welcome to sleep on me, roll about on me, or do anything you want to do next to me. I won't object."

Wow, oh wow, this man!

Giving him a fake smile, I responded, "I am sure you don't want me on you; I am heavy right now."

"Compared to the weights I pull at the gym, you are lightweight. You can sit on me if you want. I will be fine."

Okay, I cannot sleep in the same bed as this man.

"Even though you are pregnant, you are still incredibly attractive. Your skin glows, and the pink blush on your cheeks suits you well." As he climbed into bed, he spoke.

"My skin glows?" Oh, damn, I didn't realize how well my skincare products were working. See, this is why buying good products is so important.

"It does. Feels very smooth as well. Come here, come to bed." he pats the bed as he stares at me.

I stared at him as he stared back at me, "why do you want me to come to bed?"

"I want you next to me."

"Why?"

Instead of answering me, he got off the bed and walked over to where I was standing. I was surprised. I screamed when he lifted me up and carried me to the bed. When he had finished laying me down, he leaned over and gently kissed me before asking, "How are you feeling from earlier?"

"I am sore."

He kisses me on the lips once more and says, "that's because your body is not used to me yet." He puts his lips to my ears after giving me a kiss that goes down to my jawline, saying, "You need more of me to become used to me."

"Jungkook." I couldn't say anything other than his name. He was causing me to feel all heated again.

"What's wrong, baby?"

Baby?

"I believe that the concept of your once-a-month rule appeals to me."

He raised his head and grinned at me as he said, "A role play session guaranteed once a month? Is that it?"

"You know what I am talking about."

His tongue swipes over my ear, "you didn't enjoy it earlier?"

"I did; it's just I felt betrayed."

He pulled back, "betrayed? How?"

"Honestly, I didn't think you were good in bed."

He chuckled, "I figured that."

"How?"

"Seokjin, your expressions on your face convey a lot of information. You probably even believed I may be one of those guys who might benefit from using viagra, didn't you?"

What the fuck?

"No." My voice squeaked as I spoke. How the hell did he guess that?

"I am sure you are worn out; I will give you the night off to sleep. I ask that you make yourself at ease next to me as I sleep. If you want to cuddle me as you sleep, I won't be upset by it. You are welcome to make use of me as a body pillow."

He walked to the other side of the bed and then climbed into the bed. I twisted on my side to face him in that position. When he had finished getting comfy in the blanket, he turned around to face me, and we just lay there staring at one other.

At that same instant, it became very evident to me that I had the potential to develop feelings for this man, which was scary since I had so little information about him.

I felt something vibrate, and he apparently felt it too as he turned his head but then quickly sat up on the bed, "hello?" I heard him say as he brought his phone to his ear.

I glanced at the clock above my bed; it was eleven; who was calling him at this time?

"Okay, what time are you supposed to sign the documents?" I heard him question whoever was on the other end of the line then he got up from the bed. "Did our legal team review it? Send me a copy; I will look it over now." he continued as he walked out of the room.

Forget what I said about potentially developing feelings.

Jungkook's Pov:

Seeing the time I turned down the light in my office, I did not anticipate that my review would take as long as it did. It was nearly 3 a.m., and I had every intention of going to bed early, but that didn't happen. Seokjin must already be sleeping.

As predicted, he was covered in his blanket and sleeping when I entered our room, but I was instantly upset by the piles of pillows and body pillows he had placed back on the bed. I had eliminated them on purpose.

I approached the bed and threw them all back onto the ground. I suppose I awakened him as he turned and gave me an unpleasant look.

"If you will not be here to comfort me, do not touch my pillows!"

Okay, he sounded angry.

"We are not sleeping with so many pillows on the bed."

"We? When I last checked, only one person was using this bed, which was me. Aren't you just taking a little break to catch your breath before the next phone call? If this is how you sleep, I would much rather you continue to sleep alone if this is how you do it!"

Maybe next time I shouldn't do anything to wake him up?

"That was a really important call. I will be going to sleep now, I can assure you." I told him as I got into the bed next to him.

He didn't respond to me as he turned his back toward me.

After going beneath the cover, I went closer to him, placed my arm around his waist, and rested my palm on his tummy.

I'm not sure why he got such a large bed, but there was a big space behind me.

I felt him lean in closer to my chest, and I heard a sigh from him, then a sniffle.

"Are you okay?"

"No."

"What's wrong?"

"No one has held me like this for a long time."

Based on his answer, I cannot fathom what it may have been like for him to have buried a spouse. I was unable to empathize with his situation, but I knew he had loved Yoongi. I observed that when I observed them. As protective as Yoongi had been of him, his attention had been solely on Yoongi.

I reassured him while kissing the back of his shoulder, "Let me work on changing that."

"How can you when you're never here."

It was my turn to sigh, and I said, "That's why I suggested I change it."

He enjoys challenging whatever I say.

"I need consistency, Jungkook."

"Okay," I responded, placing another kiss on his shoulder.

"Jungkook?"

"Yes, babe?"

I could imagine him rolling his eyes, despite not seeing his face.

"Why are you hard?"

"It's a normal response to being around you," I grinned.

"So you don't get like this with every man you've been in bed with?"

"No, Seokjin."

"Do you really find me attractive right now?"

"Do you want me to show you?"

He immediately tried pulling away from me, but I kept him close.

"Why are you moving?"

"I don't want you to show me anything."

I chuckled, "did earlier scare you that much?"

"I don't know; you are just not what I expected. I can handle you; I know I can, just not while I am like this. My energy can't match yours right now."

"I don't think your energy can match mine, Seokjin."

"You don't know me, Jungkook."

"Then we should get intimately familiar, Seokjin." I kissed his ear and softly traced my lips down his neck, and when I felt him move, I smiled.

"You should let me sleep."

"I am not stopping you." While I answered him, I ran my fingertips over his stomach.

He pressed his ass right against my hard cock as he shifted against, "okay, I will sleep now."

"Seokjin-"

"Good night, Jungkook." He interrupted and spoke pleasantly as he rubbed his ass into me again.

"You are not playing fairly!"

"I never said I would; now, please stop messing with my neck."

I smiled and kissed his neck once more. Again, I kissed him after hearing him sigh.

I don't remember when we fell asleep in that position, but we did at some point, and he lied to me since he was the most peaceful sleeper ever in my arms. He did not move about as I had expected.
