"You still shine, you're still like a scented flower. Now trust me, hold me once again. So I can feel you, hold me."

"I love you." The words were out of Rein's mouth before she could take them back, and it left Namjoon to stare at her as if struck by lightning.

"W-what?" Namjoon stammered.

"I'm-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, um..." She shook her head. "Fuck. I screwed that up, didn't I?" He looked at her under hooded eyelashes, eyes containing so much, so much she couldn't decipher.

"Hey, hey... Hold on. Don't do that," he said, lifting her chin and forcing her to look up at him. She blushed and tried to pull away, but he held on with a grip of steel. Tears stung her eyes, but she held back. A rejected love confession was nothing to cry about. She was a big girl, after all.

"How do you even know what I'm going to reply with?" he said. Panic started to take over Rein's body, but she didn't show that outwardly, and instead, shrugged.

"I don't know, but I'm sorry, anyway. I-I shouldn't have put pressure on you to respond ba..." Namjoon leaned in until his face was inches away from hers. He looked down at her lips.

"What makes you think I won't say it back?" he asked. Rein said nothing in fear of her voice shaking, which would betray her nervousness.

"I don't know. Maybe... Maybe it's too fast, and what with me leaving and all... It was just inappropriate. I don't know what came over me."

"What if I said that I love you, too? Would that solve our little dilemma?"

"Maybe," Rein breathed. Namjoon smiled.

"Rein Jones, I love you more than words can say," he whispered. Her name coming out of Namjoon's mouth became her favorite word that day.

"Then prove it," she said. His lips were on hers in a second, hands exploring every inch of her body like he had wanted to do the whole day. His tongue brushed Rein's bottom lip, and she allowed him access. They battled for dominance as she grabbed at Namjoon's hair.

It was as if they had hungered their whole lives, and when presented with the food they ached for, the lovers could not resist in indulging themselves. There was no time to go slowly, as any moment for them could have very well been their last with each other.

All of a sudden, she felt him grab her thighs and lift her up onto the window sill, her back against the glass. She beamed inwardly as she felt him stiffen between her legs. Lowering his head, he placed kisses down her neck and collarbone, then began to suck on the sensitive spot, eliciting a soft moan from her.

"It's getting a little hot in here, don't you think?" Namjoon whispered in Rein's ear.

<SMUT WARNING!>

"Oh, you have no idea," she said. With that, she took off her sweater to reveal her matching black bra and underwear.

"You're just full of surprises today, aren't you..." he murmured, echoing the words she had said at the beginning of the day back to her. He unclasped her bra, revealing her breasts, which didn't go unappreciated, as he massaged them tenderly. In a swift move, he put his thumb on her nipple, teasing her by flicking it back and forth. She whimpered and gripped his hair, and he looked up at her with a smirk.

"You want it?" he asked. Rein bucked her hips against his and nodded frantically, still not trusting herself to speak.

Obeying her wishes, his bites and caressing went further down to her nipples. She gasped as his mouth latched onto one of them without warning and sucked as if it was the last thing he'd do. She arched her back and moaned when he used his tongue to his advantage, swirling around her bud. In a sudden rush of excitement, she put her hands on his pants, and he stopped if only for a second, showing his shock.

She continued, unbuckling his belt, and eventually, with trembling fingers, pulled his pants down, revealing his underwear which looked too tight at that moment. Rein decided to fix that problem. She felt his hips buck into her hands and noticed the sense of control she had over him. She could see the desire in Namjoon's eyes, and he didn't bother hiding it.

"I think there's a better place for this," Namjoon whispered. Picking her back up with ease, he moved her to the bed and laid her down as she scooted up the bed with a coy smile, her legs slightly spread open as if to invite him in. He moved to take off his shirt in one quick motion, but she stopped him.

"Let me." Rein slowly removed his shirt, taking in every detail of his face, his stomach, the way his chest rose and fell.

It could be the last time I see him like this, after all. Namjoon kissed her sweetly, all traces of the man driven wild gone. He did the work in getting her jeans off, then her panties. Rein whimpered as she felt the cold air hit her sensitive area. She took off his underwear to reveal his hardened cock, and breathing grew uneven as she pumped his shaft a few times, getting him ready. Namjoon retaliated by rubbing her folds slowly, kissing her with no urgency.

Before he got too excited from the teasing, he pulled away.

"Fuck... I have a condom in my bag..." he said. Rein shook her head.

"We don't need it... I'm on the pill." Namjoon licked his lips seductively.

"Very good, Ms. Jones." She pulled him down and began to kiss him, filled with a need she never felt before. Compounded with the fact that she hadn't had sex in months and that Namjoon had teased her for so long, Rein was overwhelmed with hurried desperation.

After a few more minutes, Namjoon positioned himself and pushed forward, breaking the kiss only to groan her name.

"Fuck... You're so tight..." he breathed huskily. Rein moaned loudly as she dug her nails into his back, but he didn't seem to mind. He went slowly at first, mostly for Rein, who was still adjusting to his size. After she did, however, he started to pump in and out of her at a comfortable rhythm.

Namjoon's touch felt like burning embers on her skin, everywhere he put his hands setting off a burst of fireworks. It made her want to pull him closer, to feel every inch of him. The hands that held Rein's leg up squeezed around her thigh as she caressed his body. She moaned against his lips.

Lust made no room for formalities. They acted like animals, like frantic people, clawing at the little they had left and trying to stretch into oblivion and knowing it was useless to attempt to do so in the first place.

Namjoon's thrusts were at a fever pitch as he lost himself in pleasure, not able to keep a steady rhythm anymore, but Rein was beyond caring. She was nearing her climax, and she knew he was, too. Like Rein, it had been a few months since he had had sex, so his pent-up frustration increased as his resistance dissolved.

"I think I'm gonna..." He attempted to slow down to try to last longer, but Rein hooked her legs around his torso and grinded against him to compensate.

"I want you to cum for me, baby..." she whispered in his ear, sending him over the edge. He came in her with a groan and panted as he struggled to hold himself up. Rein planted soft kisses on his neck as she ran her fingers through his hair, silently congratulating him on a job well done.

<SMUT SCENE ENDED!>

Namjoon rolled over with a sigh.

"That was fun," he said.

"That's an understatement," Rein replied. She turned to her side to face him. He was perfect. Absolutely perfect. The way the sweat glistened off of his chest and forehead, the way his eyes were still glazed over with lust.

After observing her for a few seconds, Namjoon took a lock of her hair and twirled it around his finger absentmindedly.

"I love you."

"I love you more," Rein said, closing her eyes.

"You wish." He placed a kiss on her forehead as she wrapped her arms around his body and put her head on his chest.

How could fate intertwine them so closely, to let her have the opportunity to be this intimate to anyone like this? It was strange how the little decisions she made with her subconscious led her to the situation presented in front of her, sharing a bed with someone that made her feel... different.

This stood out from the little flings she had before, and she knew it. Half of her lingered on the thought of their temporary love, but the other half was just content in his arms, and with drowsiness lulling her to join it in its embrace, she gave in to the latter half and let herself hope.

Hope for their relationship to survive against all odds. Hope for them to thrive and grow with each other as long as they held on. Hope for love.

The two of them were sleeping soundly by the hour.

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

Rein and Namjoon woke up to the morning sun streaming into their hotel room, bathing them in heavenly light. Their bodies remained intertwined throughout the night, the pair having the best sleep of their lives.

Rein rubbed her eyes and scanned her surroundings. She almost forgot where she was, but once her mind cleared a bit, a small smile touched her lips.

The room had almost a yellow glow to it from the sun. The hardwood floors refracted the light, bouncing it onto the crystal chandelier overhead. She didn't get much time to observe the room the day before, what with her busy night. Once she did, she realized it had to be one of the most expensive rooms at Lotte World, a fully furnished masterpiece that had to be at least 900 square feet.

"Good morning, beautiful," Namjoon murmured, startling her.

"You scared me!" Rein giggled.

"Sorry, sorry!" he exclaimed. After he gave her a kiss on the cheek, he untangled himself from her and got up to go to the bathroom. He brushed his teeth, and before long, she heard the shower running. A thousand thoughts ran through her head, most of which was perverted, but she had come to expect such thoughts when it came to Kim Namjoon.

What would happen if I paid him a surprise visit in there?

And you think Namjoon's the pervert?

She put on some clothes, then reached for her phone and scrolled through her social media to distract herself. She cringed when hundreds of mentions popped up, most of which had her and Namjoon as the subject.

"Korean rapper Kim Namjoon and American singer Rein Jones spotted at Lotte World!"

"Friends or something more? Rap Monster and Rein Jones Lotte World outing caught on camera!"

"OMG! I think they're really dating, you guys! I caught a photo of them holding hands! IT'S OFFICIAL!"

Rein heaved an angry sigh and went into the bathroom to brush her teeth, not worrying about whether or not Namjoon was taking a shower right next to her. He didn't seem to notice her coming in.

I can't believe we were so stupid. I mean, why couldn't we have disguised ourselves better in the first place?

Is it so bad that people are speculating about us? She assumed that she had to keep their relationship under wraps because of all the drama it would cause for the both of them, and she knew how fan girls could get when it came to dating rumors. No matter how mad she got at the ice rink, she would never sabotage Namjoon's career like that.

However, she realized the secrecy sounded less and less appealing the more she thought about it. What difference would it make after a year, or even a month? Why was his career dependent on how available he made himself out to be when it should have been dependent on his talent alone?

Nothing about it made sense. Truly, the Kpop industry was much different than the western pop industry.

Rein spit out her toothpaste and was about to walk out when Namjoon turned off the water. She froze on the spot. She couldn't get out now.

"This is an unscheduled visit," Namjoon said when he opened the shower door. He covered himself with a towel much to her disappointment.

"I was just brushing my teeth... Uh, I was just about to get out. Sorry," Rein babbled as she stepped backward. He discarded the towel and stepped toward her, amusement dancing in his eyes. She struggled not to look down at his V-line and anything that went below it.

"You're not going anywhere, Ms. Jones," he said, and without warning, he had her pinned against the wall. Rein blinked up at him, heart racing so fast she felt like it was going to plop out of her chest.

"S-so soon?" she squeaked, eyes trailing, inevitably, far below anything that was appropriate.

But then again, Rein wasn't much of an "appropriate" girl.

The scent of sandalwood and mint swirled around her and clouded her judgment. She bit her lip at the thought of Namjoon ravishing her like the night before.

"You ready for round two?" he asked with a smirk.

"Whenever you are."
