CHAPTER 17

JI-YONG'S POV:

It's so dark and cold tonight. I realize with a shudder and pull my coat tighter around me. I probably should have accepted Cora's offer to drive me home but I don't want that weirdo knowing where I live. I know that Cora likes me. All of bloody fucking England knows because she has told everyone. She's a sweet and bubbly girl …innocent too. If she really had any idea of who I was she would run away from me as quickly as possible. Hell, maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to scare her a bit and then she would find someone nice and secure to lavish her attention on. My life is anything but safe and secure. She deserves better.

I stomp my feet in front of my door to knock the snow off of my shoes. Once inside, I take them off and leave them by the door. It's one of the few habits I kept since adopting England as my new home. My life in Korea feels like a nightmare that I can never forget. If it wasn't for my sister I would hate that place. She is the only one I care about. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about her and wonder how she is doing. I miss her. She is the only family that I still have in my eyes. She may be only my half-sister but she treated me as her full brother and with respect. She treated me like a human being. The rest of our family treated me like dirt beneath their feet.

I despise our father and grandfather. Not just because of what they represent but for what they did to my sister. I could handle them beating me but not her. And when they allowed her to be raped in front of them, I cried for months. She didn't deserve that. I was so afraid she would be broken after that but thanks to Saia she managed to work past it. I did my best to be there for her. I wish I had done more. I wish I had stopped it somehow. But I was just a boy then. I didn't have the strength or the skill to fight our father let alone our grandfather.

As I make myself a pot of tea lost in my thoughts, I hear my phone go off and dig it out of my pocket. It's my boss.

My boss is the head of security for Lydia Churchill. She is a Member of Parliament and one of the favorites to be the next Prime Minister. I work as one of her bodyguards. I sigh as I read the message from James informing me of any early schedule tomorrow. So much for sleeping in for once. I inwardly groan. I like my job but I'm applying for a position elsewhere. Lydia is not what she seems. I may not have seen her do anything bad but my instincts say otherwise. I don't want to be involved with anyone like that anymore. I left that life behind when I left Korea.

I plop down on the sofa with my tea and look at the picture of Boo Ki and I that is sitting on my coffee table. It's the only picture I brought with me.

"How was your day, Boo Ki-yah? Are you doing okay? I haven't forgotten my promise to you. I miss you, dong saeng (little sister)."

I'm so tired. Not just physically but mentally as well. It's rare when I get a chance to truly relax. I don't know if my family is looking for me but I always keep my guard up. After finally being free of them, I won't let them kill me without a fight. Especially since Boo Ki went through so much to help me.

Feeling my eyelids grow heavy, I lay my head back on the sofa and for just one night, allow my memories of the past to invade my dreams.

Little did I know that my past was about to come crashing back into my life.

SAIA'S POV:

"Are you sure about this?" DK asks me. "I can always go some other time."

"You have to go. Jae Kyung has been looking forward to tonight for-" *sneeze* "over a week. I'll be fine." I tell him. He looks at me skeptically.

"You have been sick for awhile and you don't seem to be getting any better." He says worriedly.

"DK …you are my bodyguard. Not my doctor. If I need anything, I'll call Jan Di and-" *sneeze* "the Songs have guys watching the house. I'll be fine."

"I'm more than just a bodyguard." He grumbles. "Personal assistant, friend, baggage carrier, chauffeur-"

"Okay I get it." I cut him off with a hoarse laugh. My throat hurts and I am so tired of being sick. I've had the flu for over a week but it stubbornly refuses to go away. I won't let it ruin DK and Jae Kyung's first date though. "Please just go. Then come back and tell me how it goes."

Giving me one last look, he reluctantly leaves and I snuggle down into the blankets of the bed to try and get some more sleep. I need to be at the office tomorrow. I've missed enough work as it is.

It's been fun watching Jae Kyung and DK's blossoming relationship but it's making me miss my own even more. This house feels too empty without Ji-Hoo.

My phone starts ringing and I reach for it but I don't recognize the number. Not sure whether to answer it or not, I let it go to voicemail but once the call ends, they immediately call again. Only one person I know calls like this.

"Yobosaeyo?"

"Where is she?" a woman's voice asks.

"She's safe. She's just helping a friend." I say.

"…How can you be so sure? Do you have any idea what's going on? The people she has been meeting with? Every step she takes is drawing her in closer and closer to them. If they find out she is alive, they will kill her."

"Aunt Mo Nae, you know how careful she is-"

"Obviously she hasn't been careful enough. Something big is happening and they have caught wind of her. Where is she?"

"Colombia. But they leave for London in a few days."

"Gets some rest and take care of yourself. They may come after you as well. Be ready to move."

The line goes dead and I stare blankly at my phone. Mo Nae would never call me unless it was important and she must know that something is about to happen. It worries me. If things go badly, I don't know if I will be strong enough to protect myself on my own. I have to hurry up and get better before it's too late.

A/N: This part is rated. You are warned... ^_^

BOO KI'S POV:

It's warm and comfy. I don't want to get up. I can feel Woo Bin's heavy arm around my waist and his breath on my face. His eyes are closed and I know he needs his rest. The last thing I remember last night was crying in his arms. It feels amazing waking up beside him like this. Opening my eyes, I watch his peaceful face. He seems so innocent like this. But I can tell he is just pretending.

"Don't you think a guy as handsome as me deserves a good morning kiss?" he whispers with a smirk and lazily opens his eyes.

"And taste your morning breath? No thanks." I tease.

"Wae?!" he whines and pouts at me. My jaw drops and I stare at him in shock. Is this the great Song Mafia Prince or a 5 year old child?

"Ya… I don't kiss children." I say but before I can finish my sentence, he pins me beneath him. I indulge him, enjoying the weight of his body on top of mine. His eyes are full of heat as he gazes down at me and grinds his morning erection against my thigh. My breath hitches in my throat at the feel of him. He is much larger than I expected and it excites me.

"Do I feel like a child to you?" He whispers in my ear and nips my lobe. I bite my bottom lip to keep the moan from escaping my mouth.

"Woo Bin-ah…" I whisper. I need to tell him now before things go any farther between us.

"Mmm?" he hums as he nuzzles my throat.

"Saranghae."

He stiffens against me and snaps his head up to look in my eyes. I hold his shocked gaze and brush my hand against his cheek.

"I love you Song Woo Bin." I say again. His face breaks into the most beautiful smile I have ever seen and my heart quickens at the sight.

"I love you too… so very much. You have no idea how happy you have just made me." He leans down and presses his lips against mine. It is the sweetest, most loving kiss I have ever experienced in my life. He tries to deepen it but I gently push him back.

"You're still injured. You need to take it easy."

He growls in frustration and falls back against the pillows at my side. Playing with his fingers, I glance at the clock and try slide off the bed but his hand tights against mine and pulls me back.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"Ji-Hoo and I have an appointment with the Prosecutor this morning."

"He already left."

"How do you know?" I ask skeptically.

"Because I do." He jerks on my arm and I land on his chest. The feel of him beneath me isn't helping control my desire. We need to wait. I don't want to exaggerate his wound. He arches his back and I gasp as I feel his clothed erection rub against me.

"Woo Bin we can't-"

"Why? I know you want to feel me inside of you as much as I do." He smiles playfully and rubs his thumbs against my inner thighs. He's dangerously close to my soaked folds and my shorts don't offer much protection from his wandering hands.

"You can be on top." He whispers as he sits up and nips my bottom lip. His mouth trails soft kisses along my neck and shoulder as his hands travel to the waistband of my shorts. Hissing in pleasure, my back arches as he unbuttons my shorts and slides a hand inside to rub me through my thong.

"You are so wet for me baby." He groans against my shoulder. "I want to taste you."

My control finally snaps at his words and I push him back down against the bed.

"Not this time Woo Bin-ah." I whisper seductively and rub myself against his cock. He groans deeply and his fingers dig into my waist.

Yanking his shirt off, I run my hands down his toned chest and tease his hardened nipples with my fingers. His eyes are clouded with desire as he watches every movement I make. Locking my gaze with his, I swirl one of his nipples with my tongue and watch his eyes dilate with pleasure. Grazing my teeth against it, he groans as his hand slides into my hair. While his attention is focused on my mouth, I slide a hand into his pajama pants and slowly began to stroke his hard length. He isn't wearing any underwear and it turns me on even more. Closing his eyes he thrusts against my hand and bites his bottom lip in pleasure, his breathing ragged.

"Baby if you keep doing that, I'm not going to last very long. I want you too badly." He moaned. I knew our first time wouldn't last very long. The sexual frustration that has built up between us is too much. He slides his hands into my shorts and pushes them down along with my underwear. "I want to see you."

Once they are gone he pulls me down into a passionate kiss, his tongue thoroughly exploring my mouth. We break apart to pull my shirt over my head and his mouth latches onto my collarbone. His hands are shaking as he expertly unhooks my bra and tosses it away. The feel of my skin against his is like heaven and I explore every inch of him with my hands as I help him remove his pants. He impatiently kicks them off and pulls me back down to hungrily devour my left breast.

My head falls back and I gasp for air as his fingers begin to stroke my folds. Every inch of my body is sensitive to his touch. I feel like I am on fire and I will combust at any moment. Every touch, gasp, and groan is driving us higher. Our bodies are slick with sweat as we continue to tease each other.

"Baby, please." Woo Bin pants and sucks on my neck greedily, leaving his mark.

"Condom?" I gasp as he slides two fingers inside of me.

"Drawer…" He growls against my shoulder as I swirl my thumb around his tip to smear his pre-cum around it. Out of patience, I desperately reach for the drawer at his bedside table and pull out a foil packet. Ripping it open, I roll it down his hardened member and lick my lips at the sight. Next time I want to taste him.

Gripping his cock, I guide it towards my entrance but before I can sink down on him he stops me. The look in his eyes is mesmerizing and we keep our eyes locked as he enters my slick folds. I gasp and bite my bottom lip at the feel of him sliding into me. He's so big that I have to give myself a moment to adjust. His fingers tease my nipples as he waits for me to move.

Placing my hands on his chest, I begin to rock against him and he arches his back up to meet me. He's right. We aren't going to last very long this time. He feels so incredible and the moment he hits my g-spot I yelp in pleasure. A sexy chuckle rumbles through his chest as he grabs my hips to continually hit that spot. Feeling my climax quickly approaching I can tell he's close too as he swells even larger inside of me.

"Oh my god Woo Bin…" I gasp as our climaxes crash over us. I cry out in pleasure and he sits up to claim my lips with his. A deep groan rumbles through his chest as he pushes himself deep inside of me to extend the pleasure.

I swear I can see stars as he falls back into the pillows taking me with him. It's true what Saia said. It definitely is better when you love the person you are with.

"That… was…fantastic." Woo Bin says between pants.

"Mmmhmm… Just wait till you are healed." I murmur lazily as I try to catch my breath. That was the most amazing round of sex that I have ever experienced. Just thinking about what it will be like when he's better makes me grin wickedly against his chest. He chuckles and pulls my face towards his for a languid kiss.

"I can't wait." He says mischievously. My heart swells with joy at the sound of his laugh and the feel of his lips.

A/N: This chapter introduces Ji-Yong, Boo Ki's step-brother which if anyone remembers the beginning of the story he was the one Boo Ki saved. Hopefully it makes sense. Saia is going to play a bigger part very soon as well. Thanks for reading! ^_^
