Tae – You got buff

The whining hadn't subsided since she'd walked in the door from work, dramatically throwing her bag onto the kitchen counter before flopping face first onto the couch. It had not been the best day. But her pup didn't know that and after a day being stuck inside, she was desperate to go for a walk.

"OK, OK," Jia grumbled, stretching as she stood up and reaching for the lead. To be honest, she could do with a walk too to burn off some steam. Her boss had been extra demanding and her emotions were a little heightened from the continual interactions. She needed some fresh air.

"Shall we go then," she asked her tiny companion, face softening when she saw the huge eyes pleading as they looked up at her before they lit up and she spun in circles, tail wagging frantically.

Laughing, she walked into the bedroom. "Just give me a minute to change," she said as Tink followed her into the room, jumping onto the bed and whining again. "I can't go for a walk like this," Jia added indicating her work clothes, Tink pulsating at the word 'walk'. Jia didn't even notice she was talking to the dog as if she could understand everything that was said, it was just an understanding between the two of them. Tink would answer with a noise at the appropriate time and Jia would pretend it was a two way conversation. She'd long gotten over the thought that maybe she should get a room mate so she had actual conversation when she got home from work. Humans were too much bother.

Reaching into her bedside drawer for a hair-tie, she paused for a moment as she looked at her trusty purple friend, nestled in a non descript box. It had been a while and some stress release would be ideal so she grabbed it out of the drawer and put it on the bedside cabinet for later. Maybe she'd use it while she watched something that could get her going, bluetooth it to her specific playlist or maybe she'd just wait until right before she went to bed. If she wasn't getting laid, it was the best she could do for now and she actually looked forward to the thought, images already playing in her head of people that could get her juices flowing.

Clad now in a relaxed top and jeans, she walked to the door with a bit more of a plan to her evening, tying on her sneakers as she grabbed the lead from the hall closet, Tink now barking uproariously. "Ssshhhh, we've talked about this. The neighbors don't need to hear all our business," Jia said, laughing as she threaded the harness over her head, buckled it in place and snipped the lead on. "Good to go," she asked as Tink strained towards the door. "I'll take that as a yes," she said, reaching for her keys and heading out into the evening.

It was the end of Summer as it headed to Autumn, sun starting to think about setting and her tummy grumbled a little as she set out towards the park they often walked in. Close enough to the house so that if it rained, they could jog home fairly quickly and big enough that there were multiple places they could walk to keep it interesting for the both of them. Tink set off at a good pace, eager to get to her favourite sniffing zones, heading to a bush to search out all the good smells almost as soon as they stepped foot on the grassed area.

There were quite a few other people around, some cutting through the park on their way home, others exercising or, like her, walking their dogs so Jia kept Tink on the lead so she wouldn't go investigate all the people who may not be so keen on a spaniel licking their knees. As her phone beeped, Jia reached for it to check the notification when Tink took off, almost yanking the lead from Jia's hand as she quickly tightened it, seeing Tink straining to go say hello to a man walking his dog nearby. Glancing briefly, Jia turned to Tink, admonishing her. "Not today girl. We will play for a bit together and then head home. I need a night in front of the television after the day I've had. Do you want to play fetch?"

Tink's ears went up at the word she knew, bounding on the spot and Jia released the lead so it was long enough for Tink to chase the ball but still stay on the lead. There were too many people and Jia didn't feel like chasing after her today if Tink caught sight of someone she wanted to claim as a friend, ridiculously keen to meet every animal or person that passed by. Throwing the ball, the spaniel bounded off to find it, bringing it back in her mouth and dropping it at Jia's feet so she could throw it again. The game continued for a few minutes before Tink decided that a small dog she'd spied was more interesting than the ball, streaking off to greet them with a joyous bark, Jia quickly winding the lead in and running in an attempt to herd her off. But it was too late. Tink arrived at the Pomeranian in a flurry of tongue and ears and before she knew it, Jia's lead was twisted around with the other dogs and she was apologizing as Tink tried to climb the man's leg for a pat.

"I'm so sorry, she wants to say hello to everyone," she said, looking down, trying to unwind it without letting the lead go, switching it between hands before she glanced up to meet smiling eyes atop a mask.

"She is very cute, they seem to be making friends," he answered, helping untangle the leads, reaching to scoop up his own dog as Tink, who was easily four times it's size, tried to lick the little dogs face.

"Gosh, I'm so sorry, she seems extra keen to meet your little guy," Jia said and the leads finally came free. "Sorry again, I'll leave you to your walk," Jia said, seeing the man was glancing over her shoulder with a frown, his brows clearly furrowed as he looked over at a couple of teenagers who were whispering loudly together.

"I think it IS Yeontan," she heard one say and Jia glanced at the dog clutched in the mans hands, name of the dog familiar.

"So that means," came back the start of the whispered reply before muffled shrieking was hidden behind hands, the man glancing from side to side. He looked like he was sizing up which way to go and she went to step out of his way so he could leave when he quickly reached for her with his free hand, ducking slightly so he wasn't as easily seen behind her body and it was Jia's turn to frown as she looked down at where he lightly held her before meeting his eyes as he quickly dropped his grasp on her wrist.

"I'm sorry, I think those people might come over and I was trying to avoid that. Tannie just needed a quick walk and it's been ages since I've been able to so I thought I'd risk it, that maybe I had changed enough I wouldn't be recognized but I forget everyone knows what Tannie looks like too."

"OK," she said, unsure as to why he was oversharing and acutely aware that something was 'off' about the encounter even though she couldn't quite put her finger on it. His eyes were still scouting the surrounding area and as she glanced over at the girls, she saw they were rifling in their things, looking for something and he quickly went to leave, tripping over the tangled leads, doing some kind of attempt to straighten himself up before they were both toppling over the bushes, leads around the legs, hitting the ground with an oooof that had her rubbing her elbow from the impact.

"What in the Kdrama is happening," she said, brushing the leaves off her body and his low chuckle at her words startled her, not because they were ominous and in fact, weirdly, she didn't feel worried at all but because it sounded so familiar, the tone one she recognized even if the face behind the mask wasn't one she could see. And then he quickly pulled her lower, finger coming to his lips to shush her before she could say anything as the girls went past, pausing nearby, Jia's heart-rate escalating as she finished putting two and two together.

"I'm sure it's him! He has bulked up a lot in his military training but it looks like him by the way he walks. Maybe he's out on leave at the moment? I'm sure he was wearing an army issued cap?"

"Yes and the dog really looked like Yeontan from a distance. I'd love to have taken a photo but my hands were shaking when I tried to open my phone. Who do you think he was with?"

"That woman," came a hissed out reply and Jia's eyes grew big at how mad the girl sounded, "hopefully not someone he's dating because she looks like a nobody."

"They didn't seem to know each other, I think the dogs were the only reason they were talking. I wonder if she knew it was Tae though," the other girl answered as the voices walked away from where the two were huddled.

"I'm so sorry about that," Taehyung said, pulling the mask down and bowing an apology, even as they both still stayed tucked inside the bushes, obscured from view enough in their dark clothing that the girls searching hadn't seen them so they were safe for a moment. Jia wasn't sure how she was staying so calm given the situation she had literally fallen into with someone she had definitely thought about in some very specific scenarios but she put it down to shock. Because, things like this never really happened to people like her and she was processing it all very slowly.

"You don't need to apologise, it's like they were actively stalking you and that sucks."

"I'm used to it but I do usually have a manager with me. I think I'd started to feel somewhat normal with being away for those months so I thought I'd try a walk. Clearly not a great idea. But the apology was for what they said. Some fans can be...," and his vice trailed away.

"Oh the 'she looks like a nobody' comment? That's OK, I know my worth and they looked, what, 17, 18? They still have some growing up to do," Jia said from her ripe old age of 27.

"I agree, they do. But now I'm a little stuck," he said, clearly trying to work out what to do before he sighed. "I guess I need to call manager-nim and wait here until he can come escort me away."

Jia looked at what he was wearing before glancing down at her own outfit. "Well, you could always swap hats with me and swap dogs? That might throw them off enough to get you out of here. I could walk your Yeontan and meet you somewhere to return him? If they stop and ask me if it's Yeontan, I'll make up another dogs name." When Taehyung didn't answer, she carried on. "Or not, it was just an idea. I mean, if it takes your manager half an hour to get here, do you really want to sit here hiding in the undergrowth for that long and wait."

"Wouldn't be the first time I've had to do something like that," he answered but then he smiled a little. "Would your dog be OK with me walking her?"

"Tink? She'd love it. In case you don't remember, she came up to give you both a very enthusiastic greeting earlier."

" I do remember," he laughed and she looked up to see him tilting his head a little as his eyes roamed her face. Something about it made her blush.

"Well, if you wanted, we could leave in different directions and circle back to meet outside my place. It's only a three minute walk from the park so you could be on your way again as quickly as you liked."

"OK, let's do that," he said, standing up and reaching to pull her to her feet, holding her hand while he spoke.

"I'm sorry to get you mixed up in all of this craziness."

"Tink was the one who got us mixed up in the first place so I should be the one apologising."

"There have been a lot of unnecessary apologies tonight," he laughed and she smiled as he handed Yeontan over to her, reaching to take Tink's lead. "If you tell me the address, I'll see you there shortly," he said, repeating it back to her when she told him.

"Right, I'll go first and if anyone asks me, I'll say he's actually a dog called Butch. Totally looks like a Butch," she laughed, reaching for her hat and shaking her hair out as she handed him the baseball cap. He was temporarily mesmerized by the hair that cascaded around her shoulders at the movement, pausing as he went to take off his own hat to swap with hers.

"Sounds like a plan," he said, clearing his throat as he put her cap onto his head, pulling it down and the mask back in place.

"See you soon Kim Taehyung," she said with an eyebrow raise and he bowed slightly to her as he watched her check the surroundings before casually stepping out of the bushes and walking Tannie with her as if this was something she did all the time.

"Your mum is quite something," Tae said to Tink as the spaniel looked up at him, tongue hanging out as she waited to see what was going to happen next. Watching Jia walking away he realised two things. One, he didn't even know her name and two, she had his dog. She could be a weirdo, holding Tannie for ransom and Tae knew he had to get his head back in the idol game, making too many mistakes today. As she disappeared from sight, his heart was beating a little too quickly and his goal now was to get out of the park and get his dog back. Punching the address into his phone, he saw it was super close like she'd said and that was a positive at least.

Looking to see the path was clear, he moved out of the growth, pulling his hat down and guiding Tink the opposite way to leave, something she clearly recognized, trotting happily along with him. Tae kept his head down, not even checking to see if the girls were still looking for him, just set on his mission and hoping the hat and dog swap was enough to let him slip out of the park unnoticed. He changed up the way he walked, letting Tink pull him towards her home and before he realised it, Tae was out of the grass, onto the path and nearing his destination. As he neared the place the GPS was sending him, he could see Jia crouched on the pavement in front of a building, petting and playing with Yeontan who was lapping up the attention, surprisingly at ease with this stranger. Tae understood, he had been too, even at ease enough to give up his dog to her but his tension at the situation eased as soon as he saw her right where she said she'd be, Tink speeding up as soon as she saw her mum.

"That was quick, no-one saw you," she asked, petting both dogs now and dodging the licks Tink was trying to put on her face.

"I don't think so," Tae answered and she smiled up at him before standing up straight.

"Well, it ended on a good note then," Jia said and he nodded, seemingly lost deep in thought.

"I guess I should-,"

"-did you want to come up," they spoke at once and then her eyes grew huge as he looked a little concerned. "No, no, not like that. I mean, do you want to come up and wait for your manager there rather than here on the street in case you're seen?"

"That was a very adamant 'not like that'," he teased back at her, looking across the street at some people that were walking by absorbed in their phones. The after work crowds had mostly gone before he even stepped out but there were always people around and it was definitely riskier to wait out here. Still, going up to someone's place wasn't exactly safe.

"I didn't want you to think I had anything weird planned since you're, well, you know, famous and all that. I live alone and my phone has been in my pocket the whole time so I haven't let anyone know what has happened. You can check it if you want," she offered, head having to tip back so their eyes met as Tae was quite a few inches taller. It wasn't a lie, she hadn't planned any of this but now that they were here, she would take as much time with him as she could get.

"I don't need to do that," he answered, "you had my dog and gave him back, that's good enough for me. Yes, coming up to wait would be ideal, thank you."

"Sure, no problem," Jia said, mentally checking the state of her place when she'd left as he followed her through the building door and they mounted the stairs together. It was mostly tidy and she just wondered if she had left anything she wouldn't want him to see out anywhere, thinking it was too late now as she put the key in the lock. Tae had stayed a little back as they'd climbed, wrangling Yeontan who was wriggling in his arms to get down to play with Tink who was weaving in and out of the legs. It was a little chaotic but it meant he could watch her ascend in front of him and that was a sight he had very much enjoyed. He could be as polite as he was taught on camera, averting his eyes to anything 'inappropriate' but here, with no-one to see, he was going to enjoy the view of a perky ass as it climbed the stairs and wasn't even going to pretend he wasn't if he was caught.

"Please, make yourself at home," she said, tossing her keys into a little dish on a side table of the entrance way as she removed her shoes,darting in front of him to make sure there was no washing hanging to dry in her living area. She didn't want him to see her bra and knickers, at least not like that but breathed a sigh of relief when she looked around, remembering she'd grabbed them and put them away before work that morning.

Tae followed slower behind, releasing Tannie so he could chase after a frisky Tink, sniffing and exploring all the nooks and crannies of an unfamiliar terrain that smelled strongly of his new friend.

"I'm grabbing a water, do you want one," came her voice from the next room and he called back his 'yes please' before settling on the couch and looking around the bright and colourful room, books on shelves and instruments leaning haphazardly against furniture. 'I wonder if she can sing,' he thought as she sank onto the couch near him, passing the drink bottle across.

"So, Tink? Is that her whole name," Tae asked as he thanked her for the water bottle she'd pulled from the fridge for him, opening it and taking a swig, running his hand over the short hair on his head. It might be six months of this cropped haircut but he still wasn't used to it after a decade of longer hair, always attempting to tame it before remembering.

"It's short for Tinkerbell and before you ask," she said, silencing his laugh with a stern glare, "my favourite Disney character growing up was Tinkerbell and I always watched it with my Grandma who passed away when I was nine so it's sentimental."

Tae's face dropped instantly at her words and he quickly went to apologise before she interrupted. "That's not true by the way but it's a better story than how she really got her name. And my Grandma did die when I was nine but Tink has nothing to do with any of that."

"Why would you say that," he groaned before hitting her on the knee.

"Because I was avoiding the actual story."

"Well, now I need to hear it."

"It involves dice, drinking and some of my stupid friends. But it could have been Agatha so Tinkerbell is better."

"Tinkerbell is cute," Tae said, thinking that Tinkerbell's mum was too.

"She is, aren't you sweetheart," Jia cooed at her baby girl who wagged her tail before sniffing around and coming to settle on the ground. "So, what time is your manager coming," Jia asked, having a mouthful of her drink as Tae lounged back, arm draped over the back of the sofa. He felt comfortable here, leg tucked under himself and Yeontan was currently sitting on Jia's lap while Tink was at his feet. Life felt calm in that moment and he was happy to be there.

"Oh, yeah, I should call him I guess," Tae said, having another mouthful of water before reaching to pull his phone out of his pocket.

"You don't need to rush away," Jia said, heart beating a little faster. "I mean, I'm sure you have places to be since you're on leave and everything but you don't have to rush."

"I do have places to be in," and he glanced at the time, "about two hours. Something I can't get out of. But I'm dressed fine for that so I could always just get them to pick me up from here and drive me straight there. I mean, if I'm not intruding."

"Of course not, I was going to have dinner, you can eat with me if you haven't already?"

"I haven't, what were you making?"

"Making? I was going to order it," she laughed, not even pretending that she could cook for him and his eyes lit up.

"Even better. They feed us really well in the unit I'm in, lots of fresh cooked food but I could definitely do a burger."

'I could definitely do you,' she thought but didn't voice it although Tae's head shot in her direction and she wondered if she was giving off a vibe that screamed 'please let me ride you!' "Burgers it is then," she answered instead, reaching for her phone and chatting quickly about what they wanted before she placed the order.

"They said about an hour," she said as she hung up, "sounds like they're run off their feet. But they'll just knock and leave it outside the door."

"I can transfer you money for dinner," Tae said and she shook her head.

"Don't even worry about it, it's on Tink," Jia answered with a grin. "Now, do you want something more than water to drink?"

"I shouldn't, I have a company meeting and I want a clear head for that." He also needed a clear head so he wouldn't step over the boundaries because she was cute and he hadn't been laid in ages and he was champing at the bit, a little bit smitten by their short interaction and the way her nose scrunched sometimes when she talked or how wide her smile was as it lit up her eyes. He was attracted to her and he couldn't tell if it was mutual or if she was just looking at him like that because he was famous, holding the attraction close to his chest for a little longer, trying hard not to look at hers too openly as she leaned in a way that made her top slide a little off her shoulder, chest stretching out her top in the most perfect of ways.

Looking around at the two dogs snoozing comfortably, he couldn't help admitting to himself that he would like to stretch out here and go to sleep too. It was the kind of place he felt right at home, not too overly polished and styled. Kind of homey, like it was all her favourite things and not just things she thought she needed to buy so the house looked a certain way.

"Coke then," she asked, naming a drink she knew he liked and he grinned that she was acting like she didn't know a lot about him, appreciating she was trying not to make a big deal of who he was.

"That would be great thank you Jia," he said, using her name for the first time and she froze in place from where she had stood up, realising she hadn't told him her name yet but he somehow knew it anyway.

"How do you know my name," she asked, blinking at him, eyes large and he was drawn to how pretty they looked, admiring the lashes that fluttered against her cheeks, long, makeup free and prettier for it.

"You had a bill on the table where you keep your keys," he answered. "I wasn't prying," he quickly added, "I just rested my hand there while I kicked my shoes off and bumped it to the floor."

"You notice everything," she said, turning away to head to the kitchen.

"Only the important things and I think your name was important to know. It's very pretty," he said and she was smiling and blushing as she reached into the fridge, pulling out a can of coke for him and another water for her. It's not like he had complemented her looks, it was her name Tae called pretty but it felt personal and sent tingles to her fingers.

"Here you go," she said as she walked back in to see both dogs sitting either side of him, faces resting on his thighs, scratching their ears as they looked up at him with big eyes. She got it, she would lay on his leg and look up at him with big eyes too if she got the chance. His hand closed over hers for a moment as she handed it across and she, not for the first time, noticed how big they were, how big he was now in general. He was man-spreading a little on her couch, thighs pushed out and actually massive and she almost startled as she noticed them properly for the first time, straining against his pants. That lap was the perfect place to rest and she had to drag her eyes away from it, meeting his amused look when she did.

"You good there," he asked and she felt her ears burn red at being caught eyeing him up, attempting to save the situation.

"Yup, just looking at how comfortable the dogs both seem to be," she mumbled and his grin stretched square and huge, teeth flashing bright white at her as his eyebrow raised and stayed there.

"You were looking at the dogs huh," he said and she had to turn away as she sat down at the opposite end of the couch, tucking her knees up to her chin in front of her, creating a barrier between them to keep herself sane. This man was dangerous, sending swirls of desire through her body and she liked it too much not to be careful otherwise she would be be too obvious.

"What," he asked, putting down his bottle and turning his body more towards Jia. He could tell from the way she was pursing her mouth that she was stopping herself from saying something and he was intensely curious why it was putting 'that' look on her face. A look that would usually be interpreted as flirting with the way her eyes were looking at him.

"What what," she replied, looking confused and he chuckled.

"I mean what is going on in your head that you're not saying," and she shook her head, not wanting to voice it but he asked again.

"Go on Jia, I can tell it's on the tip of your tongue," and as he said it, his eyes were drawn to her mouth, wondering what would happen if he just leaned over and kissed her, holding himself back after years of having to be careful around any people he had potential with. His world was a tricky one when it came to relationships.

"You got buff," she blurted out and he startled a little before bringing his hand up to rub at his pec, her eyes following as he did.

"Ah, well, thanks," he said, looking a little shy but Taehyung had worked hard for the body he had now and he was always keen to show it off after years of dieting and dancing to keep him lean. "I guess I did."

Jia was bright red in the face the moment the words left her mouth, wishing she could shovel them back in or turn back the clock, avoiding looking at him until he spoke again. "You know, I've won a few competitions during my enlistment for shooting and also for push-ups. I've done it hard to get to this point and I'm actually quite proud of how my body is changing."

"You should be," she said, clearing her throat and chancing a glance at where Tae was watching her and then their eyes met, he winked at her and they both cracked up laughing.

"I've made it awkward," she said when they had stopped, tension broken.

"Nah, compliment me as much as you like, I quite enjoy it," he teased and then he looked her up and down, not hiding the way his eyes ran from her head all the way down to where her feet were resting on the floor before running back up her body again. She stopped breathing for a moment as she saw his eyes change; in colour and intensity as they darkened and drew her closer. "I could definitely return the favour, pay you a compliment too to even it out. Because I'd like to tell you that I think you're really beautiful but I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable."

Jia started to swallow at his words but wasn't successful, making a coughing choking sound instead, cheeks warming again. Must she change colour so often around him? "I, ummmm, I, thank you," she managed and he moved a little closer on the sofa as her heart started to beat too quickly to keep her breathing under control.

"Beautiful and sexy," he said and he didn't look away, kept watching as a million emotions played out in her head and probably in her expressions, never one to have a successful poker face. "And," he paused for a moment before he carried through with the thoughts playing in his own head, knowing they were on a time crunch. "And I'd like to kiss you. Very much. More than once."

"You would," Jia gasped, too surprised at what he said to have any kind of thought before she spoke.

"Very much so," he replied, waiting for permission to reach across to take her face in his.

"That would be nice," she answered, knowing it was a stupid response and an incredible understatement the moment the words came out but not even sure of what she'd said, just aware it was a yes.

"I hope it's more than nice," Tae said and he reached for her knees, hooked his hands under her thighs and pulled her towards himself so she slid across the couch, knees banging together. Leaning closer so his face was right in front of hers, he watched as she licked her lips to moisten them, thinking she was cute as well as sexy, thinking the shape of her mouth would fit his well, plump lips and a cupids bow that he wanted to stick his tongue out and trace but first, starting with a kiss.

Tae's hand came up to Jia's face, huge and a little rough from the hard work he'd been doing for the last six months, cupping her cheek as this thumb rested on her chin, tipping it up to angle it perfectly so that when he dropped his mouth to hers, it was electric. The soft caress as they slid together briefly, ignited an instant chemical reaction, the spark causing them both to pull apart in surprise. Their eyes locked and then one moved but no idea who, they were both just aware that their mouths were back on each other, his fingers in her hair, her hands resting on his chest, twisting into the fabric of his shirt to pull him close as their mouths melded and tasted.

And then she needed to get even closer, climbing onto his lap, reaching her hands under his top to stroke the skin there, his body tensing, aware his cock was hardening but then relaxing as her fingers played with the surfaces she found beneath it. His own hands came to her back, trailing up and over her bra, calluses on some of them creating the difference between the soft caresses and the ones that caught enough on her skin that she felt every stroke of them and his mouth claimed hers again, kisses getting more intense.

"Off," she asked and he reached his hand up behind his back to pull it up and over his head in a move that was so smooth and sexy that he could've done in thousands of times but just this once was enough for her to marvel and melt. And that was before she even saw the caramel skin appear in front of her, the muscles he'd been building clear and spectacular and she wanted to touch it all. Placing her hands flat on his stomach, she stroked up and down, over his abs, up to his pecs, stopping at the chain that hung around his neck as his hands came to settle on the base of her spine.

Winding her fingers in his dog tags, she fingered them for a moment, reading them briefly as she used them to pull him a little closer.

"I think you're amazing by the way," Jia said as she looked up at him from under her eyelashes.

"You do? The dancing," he asked, leaning to press his lips against her throat and she closed her eyes as she answered, tiny noise escaping her lips before she laughed a little.

"Well, that and the singing but actually, I meant this, the enlistment. I know it can't be easy given who you are and what role you're fulfilling while serving."

"Amazing huh?"

"Yeah and I very much approve of this part of it too," Jia said, running her hand down his chest and back up again.

"You know one of the things I really miss while I'm serving," Tae asked, kissing just below her ear and she hummed at the feeling of his lips grazing her earlobe. "I miss this. Touching someone. Having someone touching me."

"Touching you," she asked, the thought of anyone's hands on his body, of her own hands giving him pleasure something that caused a pool of arousal to flood into her panties and she squeezed her legs together, something that doesn't go unnoticed by Tae.

"Yeah, my hands running down all the curves and valleys of a body, treating it like a work of art, having someone want to do the same for me. I miss it," and his voice was deep and low and flowing like honey through her veins.

She could also hear in his voice, a hint of loneliness behind the words and smile that was across his face as his eyes moved over her skin, drinking in her body with them and Jia wanted to fix it. Make him smile because of her touch, make him gasp when she did things to him, all sorts of things.

"Taehyung," she said, voice soft and quiet but he heard it and nodded. "I want you to take me to bed. Let me touch you the way you need."

The kiss Tae plants lightly on her lips is the sweetest thing, a yes and also a please at the same time and she wriggled back, ready to slide off his lap when he stood up and swung her up into his arms, laughing as she quickly reached to anchor herself to him with her arms around her neck as a squeak left her lips.

"You're light," he said as he walked down the hallway towards the open door to her bedroom, displaying his muscles again as he easily held her, putting her carefully down on the bed where she instantly rose up on her knees, kissing into his mouth, tasting him with her tongue as he leaned over her.

And then he pushed her lightly back and Jia propped herself onto her elbows. She watched as he reached to quickly undo the belt on his pants, dropping them to the floor and climbing up onto the bed with her, his boxers the only thing left on his body. And then his eyes fell on the toy she'd left there before her walk and her cheeks flushed instantly.

"Well now," he said as he reached for it and she punched him in the arm.

"Don't even think about it," she yelled, quickly reaching to toss it into her drawer before he could touch it.

"Hey, no judgment, we all need a little help from time to time. Sometimes our hands don't quite cut it huh," he grinned.

"Well, those hands probably could," she replied and he looked down at his fingers and smirked. They definitely could.

"We won't talk about it but I hope I can give you some things your toy can't. Now, can I take these off," he asked, running his hand up her leg and resting on the button at the top of her jeans and she nodded a shy yes, the arousal so thick in the air now that there was no way she wasn't going to be damp enough in her underwear for him not to notice, glad she was wearing black today so it wouldn't be as obvious that she was so ready for him already. His hands moved quickly, nimble, long fingers undoing and removing her pants as she took off her own top, left just in bra and knickers that had Tae shaking his head as he looked at her.

"Your dog is the best wingdog, I swear," he said as his finger came to trace across the bare skin between the two pieces of fabric left on her body and she giggled a little, breasts moving under the bra and he wanted it off, wanted to see them moving, to taste her nipples. "This is cute but," and his hand came to the straps, sliding one down her arm as he watched and she smirked at him before peeling the other down her arm herself.

"Clasps at the front," she guided him, keen to have it off too, the desire in his eyes at her body something she wanted to see more of, needing to have him closer to her and his hands may have shaken a little as he reached for the opening or maybe it was her heart beating so fast that her body was shaking on it's own but when he popped it open and she felt his erection growing against her leg, she felt a surge of adrenaline.

"Wow," he said quietly before he pressed a kiss below each breast, using his nose to trace around them before he settled near one of her nipples. "These are spectacular," he said, tongue coming out to wet the very tip of one, a spike of desire hitting her in the stomach so that she almost shot up as he moved to the other, only leaving them slightly wet at the tip, teasing just enough before he started moving south.

When his mouth hit her belly button and he kissed around it, she melted at how slowly this was going, how he was taking his time to make her feel good and he was undeniably doing that, Jia's hips having a hard time staying planted to the bed as his tongue tickled her skin with tiny licks between soft pecks of lips on every surface he could reach.

"Noone on base smells like this," he said, his nose rubbing from side to side as he breathed in the scent of her body, mouth settling just above her panties and he looked up, smirk on his face as he stopped and looked at how her mouth was hanging open, lips parted and kissable and he was torn between wanting to carry on down her body to make her come undone or moving back up to cover her with his own scent as he lay against her.

"No," she questioned, blinking at him slowly, wondering if Tae was stopping because he had second thoughts about how this was all playing out.

"Not even close," he continued as his lips slid over the cloth of her underwear, seeking the heat between her thighs. Wriggling his body lower, she felt his breath hot against her core and was lost in the fact that this was happening. And then he was mouthing at the fabric, tongue darting out to press firmly so the fabric bunched in between her folds and she was dripping with anticipation as the muscle worked to tease inside her. "I'm going to take these off if that's OK," he asked, pulling away so she could hear him and she sighed out a weak yes as his fingers peeled the underwear down her thighs, lifting her ass so he could do it as quickly as he could.

"Fuck, not what I thought was going to happen when I went to walk Tannie," he said, looking down at her naked body, cock standing to attention quicker than the whole of his platoon when a senior saluted them.

"Sorry, not the relaxing walk you were hoping for," Jia answered, slow blink of eyelashes and tiny twist of her lips into a grin showing that she wasn't sorry at all and neither was Tae.

"I am in absolutely no way disappointed in how my day is playing out Jia," he said and leaning in again, he pressed a kiss to her inner thigh before pushing them apart. "I've missed the taste of a beautiful woman," he said as his tongue slowly licked up the folds of her lower lips and she gasped, everything spiraling to focus on where his mouth was right now.

Settling comfortably, he pulled away, kissing up from her ankles as her legs were put easily up onto his shoulders to draw her as close as he could get to her body as his mouth returned to where he'd left off and she leaned her head back, fisting at the bedding as she clutched it tightly in her hands. His hands didn't stay still as his tongue worked inside her, lips sucking and thumb circling her clit and she felt herself getting wetter and wetter from arousal and saliva and it was all too much.

"T-T-Tae," she stuttered out and he hummed as he carried on rubbing her clit, pressing his tongue up into her body and she thought she might have blacked out for a moment, squeezing her eyes so tightly to stop from coming too soon. "Tae, it's too much, I'm too close," she moaned and he laughed against her body, sending a vibration as the deep rumble of his voice was muffled against her.

"You can come, we're in no hurry and one doesn't have to be the end," he said and she gasped again at the thought of this beautiful man making her come in more than one way. It was too much, her head was spinning, her body was fighting to stop itself from giving in and he slowed down for a moment, maintaining a rhythm of stroking her on the inside that had Jia whimpering out incoherent babble before she let go, the coil snapping inside her and orgasm flooding through her as she seeped around his tongue. Slowing his movements as she began to get to over-stimulation, his head popped up, a cheeky look on his face as he licked at his lips before wiping it on the t-shirt she'd tossed to the side. Jia opened her eyes, reaching for his dog tags to pull him gently towards herself, kissing the expression of success off his lips and licking into his mouth to show that she was definitely happy with what he'd just done for her.

"You good," he asked when Jia pulled away and she grinned, eyes sparkling at the question.

"Better than in a long time," she said, "but I don't think we're done right? I'd quite like to take care of this for you," she continued, snaking her hand down between them and inside his boxers, wrapping it lightly around his length, full and slick with arousal. He was big, sitting heavy in her hand and she slid her hand up and down a few times as he lost control for a moment, dropping his head to her shoulder and closing her eyes as she teased him even harder with her grip.

"How would you like to do that," he asked and she moved slightly away, peeling down his underwear, his cock falling heavily against his leg as she placed a kiss on the tip, a groan long and loud escaping his lips. Smiling up at the sight of his eyes closed at the contact, she stepped it up, mouth dropping open to accommodate his girth as she sucked it inside, the wet walls of her mouth coating him and he swore under his breath as his hands came to rest on her head. Licking and sucking, she tasted the precum that had dripped earlier, closing her eyes as she concentrated on making him feel good, hands moving in tandem with her mouth to stroke the part of him she couldn't take fully into her mouth. Her teeth grazed lightly on purpose, the hiss of pain mixed with pleasure exactly what she'd been hoping to hear and she kissed it better afterwards, before she returned her mouth to swallowing him down. As he hit the back of her throat and she just stopped herself from gagging, he let out a garbled noise, words mixed with sounds.

"I'll come, shit, f-f-fuuuuu, that feels so good but I'm too close," he managed and she slid her mouth off his length and reached to open the top drawer of her dresser, pulling a condom out. Holding it up, she tilted her head and raised an eyebrow and he let out the breath he'd been holding, nodding as she tore it open. Sitting back on his heels, he took the packet from her, rolling it down his length, making sure it was on securely before his eyes met hers again. Jia had been watching every movement, the easy way he pushed it down, not a clumsy rush of passion but a measured calm that came from maturity and the need to do this properly.

"Are you sure," he asked as Tae lowered himself between her legs, knees falling to accommodate him between them as he kept his eyes on her for an answer.

"Oh I am 100% sure that I am going to be coming around you, very, very soon," Jia answered, hand finding his length again and guiding him to press against her entrance. The juices from her earlier release were still gathered there and the slide of his cock between her folds was easy as he shook his head at her.

"You are trouble," he said, kissing into her neck, letting her play for a moment as his mouth kiss across her collarbones.

"And you are huge," she said bluntly and he laughed.

"Worried," Tae asked, pulling back to see if she was using humour to disguise the fact she thought it might be painful. He was very aware he was well endowed and only ever wanted sex with anyone to be memorable for the right reasons.

"No, very much looking forward to it actually," she answered, "do you know they call this Taeconda," she said, running her finger down the latexed length and he shivered at the touch even as he laughed. This was easy and fun, not intense and exactly what he needed on his day off.

"I had heard that, yes, and I've seen the tiktoks."

"Oh, they soooo don't do it justice," she said and he moved a little to settle again, his weight heavy as their hips pressed together and she could feel his cock twitching between them, wanting to give it the attention it deserved.

"Now, you don't want to be late for your meeting, lets get-," and her breath left her as he pressed forward, both of them lost for words as he slid into her body, the stretch bigger than she was expecting as she clutched at his arms, throwing her head back and closing her eyes as he pushed inside. Pausing with their pelvises pressed together, his forehead rested against her breasts as he felt her walls clutching at him, giving himself time to feel every part of the warmth and contact of their bodies connected together.

"What were you saying," he said, kissing her a few times, Jia's head swirling at the fullness of Tae being inside her.

"I have no idea," she answered, pulling him down and stealing a few more kisses as their bodies relaxed, Tae pumping his hips, deliciously gliding against her body. Sliding his hands under her back and over her shoulders, his gripped tightened a little as his hips started to move quicker, the thrusts set a momentum that had her head spinning, eyes closing, body writhing under his, unsure if she wanted to spiral this quickly, not wanting it to be over but feeling the orgasm right at the edges of her consciousness.

"You're so wet," Tae grunted as he felt his own orgasm closing in on his body and she rose to meet each thrust.

"You're kind of responsible for that," she said, words stilted in between the slap of skin hitting skin.

"I am, aren't I," he answered, a little cocky, a lot happy that the release she'd had earlier was making the slide feel so good for him now. Dipping his head, his mouth found her breasts, giving one then another attention as he swirled his tongue around each nipple, gasps leaving her mouth at the extra contact, one of the things almost guaranteed to send her over the edge and his hot breath on her skin as he gently sucked on them was making her lose her mind.

"Tae, oh, just there, keep going," Jia said, deciding that she didn't want to hold out from letting her body explode, needing that hot release that was barreling towards her. He sped up a little more, hand moving to press against her clit as his mouth sucked on her top lip and it felt like he was touching her everywhere, sailing over the edge with a loud gasp of arousal as she gushed around him. He almost lost his mind as she tightened and kept tightening around him, swearing as he came, filling the condom full, the first sex he'd had in months making it last so long that he thought he'd never stop, panting as he finally stilled his hips, falling against her, resting on his arms to stop himself from crushing her body under his.

"That was so much better than a 10km run," he said, lifting his head to kiss her, noting her eyes were still closed as her breathing attempted to slow. He didn't know about Jia but the orgasm he'd had was still ringing through his body and he'd need a moment before he moved properly.

"Better than the evening of Netflix I had planned too," she answered when their mouths had pulled apart and he finally reached down to hold himself carefully as he pulled out, rolling the condom up, throwing it at the bin she pointed at with perfect aim.

"I'm hitting the bullseye 99% of the time too," he bragged lightly and she applauded him.

"That's excellent," she joked and he kind of liked that she wasn't serious, teasing her a little more.

"Well, I am quite good at all this," he said, indicating their sweaty bodies even as she rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, it was passable, I'd do it again," she said with a laugh and then she kind of checked herself and he watched as she did, back peddling a little with her words. "Not that I think this is anything, I was just pleased to be able to make you feel good for a moment. I mean, I hope I did?" She sounded a little nervous as she asked, stumbling over her words and he reached for her hand.

"Jia, you made me feel more than good. The problem now is when I'm back on base and I think about all this, I'm going to be popping a hard on constantly," and she grinned at him. "Damn and I'm going to be picked up soon," he sighed and Tae rolled off the bed.

"We didn't even eat," she said as she watched him stand up and reach for his clothes.

"Actually, we both kind of did," he winked and she rolled her eyes at him, covering her face for a moment at what had just happened. She wasn't embarrassed about anything that they'd done, she just needed to block the image of him sliding the pants back up his thighs from her vision before she attempted to kidnap him for the rest of his leave. "And it was delicious," he added, smacking his lips together.

"Tae," she laughed although the taste of him was still on her tongue too. "But yeah, I'd go back for seconds."

He paused as he threaded the belt back through the loop and looked at her. "I wouldn't mind walking the dogs again tomorrow, maybe somewhere with less people though?"

"Like where," she asked, wondering what hidden gems he had up his sleeve that famous people could access to keep themselves out of the limelight.

"Like my apartment," he said, sending a boxy smile her way and raising his shoulders in a shrug. "I mean, I have lunch with my parents and something I have to do in the afternoon but I don't go back until the next day. We could play with the dogs, have some dessert, revisit today but in my shower?"

"Every part of that sentence is a yes," Jia answered and he leaned in, hooking his fingers into her hair and dragging her closer by the nape of her neck. She wasn't going to lie to herself, the show of strength was freakin' sexy and she melted at his touch as his lips claimed hers again.

"Good, now I left my top out there and I should probably go find Tannie," he said, striding out of the room and she had a moment where she kicked her legs against the covers, having a little party where she giggled silently behind her hands before finding a long shirt to tug on, pulling her panties into place as she padded out into the living area, bare feet not alerting him she was there as he talked to the dogs.

"Sorry Tannie, you'll see Tink tomorrow," he said as he hooked the lead onto Yeontan's collar, shirt back on and looking surprisingly smooth considering what they'd been doing. "I know, I know, she's cute and you like her. Don't tell anyone, but I think the same about Tink's eomma," he said in a theatrical whisper and Jia held her breath at his words. "Do you want to have another play date tomorrow, Tink can come check out all your toys. Maybe her mum can come check out some of mine," he said, "and I know you're there Jia," Tae said without turning around but she could tell he was laughing.

"Toys huh," she said from where she leaned on the doorway and he turned, swallowing as he looked at her legs crossed at the ankles, long and headed up to the panties he'd peeled off her not that long ago.

"Yes but feel free to bring some of your own favourites with you when you come, we both know I've seen you have at least one," he said, raising an eyebrow and she had no idea how anyone would ever be able to resist the smoldering looks he was sending her. "Now, I'm going to go before you bewitch me with those long legs and pretty lips. One more for the road though," he said, striding forward to kiss her as Tink began to whine, realizing her friend was about to leave.

"I don't think the dogs are happy to be saying goodbye," she said, looking down at them both, tails not wagging quite so much as they had done earlier.

"Can't say I am either," Tae said, the surprising late afternoon interlude something he couldn't have planned more perfectly if he'd tried. "But we'll make the most of tomorrow."

"Oh will we," she laughed and he shoved his feet into his shoes, walking to the front door.

"Come with an appetite because, unlike you, I'll feed my guests," he teased.

"I'm sorry, we got sidetracked," she grizzled, knowing he was joking but aware he hadn't eaten anything. "It's possibly already outside the door waiting for us. Take it when you go."

"I'd take sidetracking over food any day," he winked. "But don't worry, we'll just swing by a takeaway place on the way to the meeting, they'll wait for me. Now, my manager is outside already so I've gotta go but I'll send a car for you tomorrow at 4pm. Thanks for today."

"Which part? The falling over in the park or the mind blowing sex?"

"You thought it was mind blowing," he asked, hand resting on the door handle but not turning it yet.

"Well, yeah, didn't you," she said, frowning a little.

"Yeah, yeah, I did, I'm going to sleep well tonight," he said, a little shy and he had a cute look on his face when he leaned in and pecked her cheek before heading out the door with a grin, closing it behind him.

And the dance Jia did around the living room for the next five minutes had Tink barking and running round with the zoomies, as she let it all sink into her core memory bank. As if it was something she'd ever forget.
