Onyx: Forever Read online

  The bed shifted, and JongB got up, moving with purpose to the two. I watched, confused and surprised at the determination on his face as he walked up to MinMin, grabbed his face, and kissed him.

  MinMin pulled back. “You taste of Kate,” he said, although he sounded surprised.

  “Shut up,” JongB told him, pulling his mouth back to his.

  Well that was a new one for the books. My mouth fell open.

  “If – you – need – something – to – put – in – that…”

  My attention flicked to CX, panting between each word as MinMin’s thrusting seemed to intensify. I got back to my knees and fed his cock back into my mouth. He was close; I could taste it.

  CX’s hands had been clamped onto MinMin’s as he held his waist, but the second my tongue circled the head of his cock, he let go, diving his hands back into my hair and gripping tightly as MinMin set the fast pace of CX’s thrusts.

  “Shibal, shibal, shibal,” he cursed with every thrust.

  And then, MinMin cried, and the thrusting turned to jerks for a few moments until CX picked up the rhythm himself. He let out a low cry and then, CX’s cum filled my mouth. I hurriedly swallowed as his gaze locked on mine. The tight hold on my hair turned into loving strokes.

  With a sigh, CX climbed onto the bed, relaxing into the pillows. Feeling as sated as he looked, I joined him. “I love you,” he muttered as he wrapped his hands around me.

  “I love you too,” I told him softly. I sought out the other two, ready to tell them the same thing, but the words died in my throat.

  JongB was on the end of the bed, his head thrown back, moaning in pleasure. And on his knees, with his mouth wrapped around his cock, was MinMin.

  I could feel myself getting wet all over again. “Fuck me,” I muttered. “That’s hot.”

  “That’s unexpected,” CX murmured against my neck. “But also hot.”

  And then JongB tensed. He leaned forward, trying to push MinMin away. “I’m going to-” MinMin slapped JongB’s hand away. “Fuck!”

  MinMin’s fingers dug into JongB’s butt as JongB orgasmed.

  “Fuck,” I uttered in agreement.

  JongB fell backwards onto the bed as MinMin finally slid his mouth around his cock, swirling his tongue around the end of it as he did so. “I have wanted to do that for a very long time,” he told him.

  “And if there was ever any doubt as to how I got pregnant, there’s fifty percent of the proof.”

  “I’m fairly certain I’m pregnant,” CX mumbled as he nuzzled my neck.

  “Hold that thought,” I sighed, pulling myself off the bed. “I’ll be back, and then we’re talking.” I eyed the takeaway on the side. “Talking and eating.” I walked past JongB who was still flat on his back, staring at the ceiling. He had a small frown on his face. I said nothing; I’d let him figure that one out by himself.

  As I walked past my suitcase, I took out a pair of pajamas. “How are you doing?” I heard MinMin ask.

  Thinking he was talking to me, I looked over at him, but found him addressing CX. “Sore,” CX admitted. “But in a good way.”

  The quiet MinMin was back, giving him a shy smile. “I can help you once Kate is finished in the bathroom.”

  I ducked in, shutting the door behind me so that I could use the toilet and clean up. When I returned, MinMin and CX were moving around the room, gathering items of clothing up. I moved out of the way as the pair, walking slowly, took their turn in the bathroom.

  JongB was still lying naked on the bed in the same place I had left him, staring at the ceiling. “You OK over there?” I asked, keeping it casual as I started pulling food out of the bag. It had cooled but it still smelled delicious and now I was ravenous.

  “Yeah,” JongB replied, uncertainly.

  “Sounds it.” With a plate piled high, I moved over to the bed I had been sleeping in earlier and got on top of the covers.

  JongB finally turned his head to look at me. “I liked it.”

  I nodded, calmly taking a bite of my bulgogi as though this was the most normal conversation to be having after midnight while eating cold Korean food and just having a foursome.

  “But I don’t think I could do that again.”

  “Nobody is forcing you to, Jongsub. I mean, MinMin seems to have a bit of a dominant side I’ve never seen before, so he probably would if you wanted him to.” I shrugged.

  Out of nowhere, I had a vision of MinMin – good, quiet, gentle MinMin – and he was swearing at me. I did not know I needed that in my life until now…

  I blinked, dragging my brain out of that fantasy as JongB rolled over and got off the bed. He made the two steps to the bed I was on, and got on, stretching out beside me. His hand wrapped around mine; the one holding a loaded chopstick’s worth of beef, and he turned it to him, taking it off me.

  “JongB,” I said, evenly, “I love you, but if you ever take food off a pregnant me again, I will stab you with my chopsticks. There’s plenty left over there.”

  JongB wrinkled his nose, pouting as he lay back down. “I’d rather yours.”

  “Food!” MinMin exclaimed, as he and CX returned from the bathroom, now both wearing sweatpants, and in MinMin’s case, a baggy sweater. “You want some?” he asked CX.

  CX nodded, moving slowly to join me on the bed.

  “MinMin, make me some,” JongB whined. “Please?”

  A few minutes later, MinMin came over, handing a plate to JongB and CX before climbing on the bed with us, snuggling up between me and CX. “Aren’t you eating?” JongB asked him. “You were starving on the drive up.”

  MinMin shook his head, grinning shyly. “I have the taste of something better on my lips.”

  “I can’t do that again,” JongB blurted out. “I mean, I kinda liked it – it’s obvious I liked it – but it’s not me.”

  “I figured,” MinMin shrugged. “And that’s why I’m not eating.”

  I looked at JongB, arching an eyebrow as he went bright pink. He looked at me, then went even more pink, turning his focus back to his plate of food.

  “So,” I said, drawing out the word as I changed the subject. “Why are you three here?”

  “We wanted to be with you,” CX shrugged, as though that was obvious.

  I inhaled deeply, setting my plate in my lap. Before I could point out the obvious flaws in their actions, there was a hammering at the door.

  “Kate, we need to get up,” Sungmin called through the door. “We have a problem.”

  I looked at the men on my bed. “Just in case it’s not clear, he means you three.”

  제4 장

  Where You At

  “We’re so screwed,” JongB muttered.

  I put my plate to one side, sliding off the bed. Or I tried. Like an octopus, MinMin wrapped his arms and legs around mine. “Don’t do it,” he begged.

  The hammering at the door continued. “He’s about ten seconds from waking the floor up, if he hasn’t already,” I pointed out. “Do we really want everyone to know you three are in here?” MinMin pouted, but then he let go. I started walking to the door, but paused to look back at them. “Don’t tell me you thought you could sneak in here, have sex, albeit amazing sex, and then get back to LA before anyone noticed?”

  From the look JongB gave me, he, at least, really did think they would be able to achieve that. I blew out a breath and hurried over to the door, opening it just as Sungmin was about to knock again.

  “Kate, we have a problem,” he said, looking somewhere between pissed off and worried.

  “A problem, or three?” I asked, stepping back.

  The moment Sungmin saw the three of them, sat together on the bed, his jaw went tense. I could hear a door opening somewhere down the corridor, so I grabbed his wrist – his hand was clutching at his phone – and pulled him in, shutting the door behind us.

  When I turned back to the others, I could have laughed. They looked like three mischievous puppies who had been caught chewing all the throws a
nd pillows.

  “Hello, hyungnim,” CX greeted him, solemnly.

  “Don’t hello hyungnim me,” Sungmin said through gritted teeth.

  “OK, before you get mad, we can explain,” JongB said, setting his plate down before he jumped off the bed.

  I rubbed at my forehead as JongB stood in front of us, his cock on display.

  “You are this close,” Sungmin held up his finger and his thumb; there was a hair’s width between the two. “This close to being castrated right now.”

  JongB’s hands instinctively covered his cock as his eyes went wide. “Hyungnim! You can’t do that!”

  “Why not?” Sungmin demanded. “You don’t need it to sing!”

  “I need it,” I piped up.

  Very slowly, in an eerie manner, Sungmin turned and looked at me. He stared at me in silence for a few moments before turning back to the others. “Explain.”

  JongB looked back at the others, but it was CX who spoke. “Kate has this really bad habit of deciding that things would be better if we weren’t dating-”

  “Hey!” I objected.

  “It’s true though,” MinMin interjected, apologetically. “You seem to think you can spare us from all the bad things.”

  I folded my arms. “Us not dating probably would spare you from all the bad things,” I pointed out. “But as I have been saying, a lot recently, much as I do think that, I want to be with you all, regardless of that – so long as all of you can deal with the consequences of what that is.”

  “Yeah, but Kate, you said you were going to Vegas,” JongB said.

  “I said I was coming back!” I cried in exasperation.

  “It’s not that we doubted you,” MinMin hurriedly interjected, scooting to the edge of the bed. “It’s that, we wanted to make sure that you knew we really were here for you and not going anywhere.”

  “How did you get here?” Sungmin asked, sounding weary.

  I glanced over at him; he was rubbing at his temples. Honestly, if he wasn’t sent prematurely gray, it was going to be a miracle.

  “I rented a car,” JongB shrugged.

  “You?” Sungmin repeated, “rented a car? You don’t have a license.”

  JongB nodded. “I have a US driver’s license, so it was easy.”

  There was a moment of silence. “Why, of all of you, was JongB the one trusted to drive?” he asked the three of them before looking back at JongB. “What idiot gave you a license?”

  “The US government?” JongB responded with a cheeky grin.

  I swear Sungmin would have followed through with his castration threat if it wasn’t for the fact his phone rang. He glanced down at it, reading the name of the caller before answering it. “They’re in Vegas with me,” he told the person on the other side. Sungmin gave me a sideways glance before looking back at the maknae line. “Gambling… Yes… No, don’t worry, they’re about to learn what the consequences of this stupid move is… We will drive back tomorrow… Goodbye.” Sungmin hung up the phone.

  “We only did it because we missed Kate!” CX said, instantly.

  Sungmin calmly slipped his phone into his pocket. “So, what you’re telling me is that you thought with your dick?”

  “Yes!” JongB quickly agreed.

  “No,” MinMin said, backhanding JongB’s thigh. It wasn’t a slap so much as a warning tap. “We thought with our hearts.”

  “OK,” Sungmin said, sounding far too controlled for my liking.

  “OK… what?” JongB repeated, uncertainly.

  Sungmin moved over to the door. “Follow me.”

  “Hyungnim, I’m naked!” JongB protested.

  “Then I suggest you get some clothes on in the next five seconds.” He looked at me. “Is there anything you need?”

  I slowly shook my head.

  “Then follow me.”

  I shared a look with the others before the four of us, JongB finally in some clothes, followed Sungmin out into the corridor – and straight next door into his room.

  “Um… hyungnim? What are we doing in here?” CX asked as he looked around the room which was nearly identical to mine, just a little less disheveled.

  “Sleeping.”

  “I had two perfectly good beds in my room,” I pointed out.

  “I don’t trust these three to not sneak out and join you,” Sungmin shrugged. He indicated to the beds. “Pick one.”

  I sighed, moving to the bed closest to me. At that point, I no longer cared which bed I slept in. I was beyond exhausted and ready to sleep. I pulled back the sheets and got in, sitting cross-legged beneath the sheets while I watched to see what Sungmin was going to do now. The bed was big enough for four when snuggling, but I doubted he wanted to get in the middle of a spooning competition with those three.

  “That’s your bed,” Sungmin told them, pointing to the other one.

  “You know, if we could use Kate’s room too, only two of us would need to share this bed instead of four,” CX told him, hopefully.

  Sungmin cocked his head, staring in mild amusement at them. “Were you not going to all share one bed in Kate’s room?” he asked them.

  “Well, yes,” JongB replied.

  “Then get in the bed,” Sungmin instructed him.

  Although JongB shot him a dubious look, he did as he was told, as did CX and MinMin. I had to bite my lip from smiling; it was like they were three small boys being told off by their dad.

  “I’ll just go join Kate when you’re asleep,” JongB grumbled a little too loudly.

  “I know what you think you’re going to do, but part of your punishment is no sex.”

  “We wouldn’t have sex,” JongB protested, looking like Sungmin had accused him of committing a crime.

  Sungmin folded his arms and gave him a pointed look. Even MinMin laughed.

  “Fine,” JongB harrumphed, also folding his arms but managing to look more like a petulant child. “But we would at least have gotten some sleep first.”

  “No. Sex,” Sungmin said, enunciating each word.

  “Hey!” I objected. “Why am I being punished?”

  “Do you want sex?” Sungmin asked, turning to me. I could feel my cheeks go pink, partly because I was embarrassed at his direct question, and also because, for a moment, I actually thought he was asking because he was willing to deliver if I said yes.

  “I want sleep,” I grumbled instead, feeling as child-like as JongB had.

  “Exactly,” Sungmin said, before turning back to the others. “And to make sure you stay in that bed, I will share Kate’s bed.”

  All four of us, simultaneously, gaped at him.

  Sungmin turned back to me, this time it was his cheeks which were pink. “Unless that’s too uncomfortable for you?”

  I slowly shook my head. I’d shared a bed with my friends in college – including platonic male friends. It wasn’t a big issue to me.

  But I wasn’t Korean.

  I wasn’t Sungmin.

  He’d been engaged until only a few weeks ago. Sharing a bed with someone else seemed like a huge deal just based on that, never mind the fact that, even though we were certainly getting closer, I still was sure it would have been something he considered inappropriate.

  Only, apparently, he didn’t…

  “Nope, not at all,” I responded, still uncertain as to if he would follow through with his words. Even the others seemed dubious.

  And then Sungmin walked between the two beds, turning to mine. He stared at me for a moment before I realized he wanted me to move over, and I did just that. However, instead of getting in the bed with me, he lay down on top of the sheets.

  I waited half a moment to see if he was really being serious, and then I shuffled down to get comfortable. Sure, it was a little strange, but I was so tired, I probably could have curled up in the armchair and slept there.

  Sungmin propped himself up with his elbow to look at JongB, MinMin and CX. “Just to be clear, I’m about to turn the lights off, and if any of you dare to join
us in this bed, I will follow through on that castration threat. Understood?”

  Like nodding dogs, JongB, MinMin and CX hurriedly agreed, lying down in their own bed. “I think we found that line with Sungmin,” I heard JongB whisper as Sungmin turned out the lights.

  With the room in darkness, I felt the bed shift as Sungmin settled down beside me, keeping as much distance between the two of us. “Seriously, though,” he suddenly exclaimed. “Who the fuck let JongB drive?”

  I knew when I woke up that someone was going to get in trouble. There was an arm holding me tight. I kept my eyes closed, not wanting to wake up through fear of waking Sungmin and the owner of the arm getting told off again.

  I inhaled deeply, sucking in a deep breath of… I poked an eye open.

  There was an arm underneath my neck, and I was lying over a bicep which was a lot bigger than I’d ever imagined it to be. The other arm was draped over me as a hand gently rubbed my side.

  Sungmin was wide awake, watching me with his dark eyes, still above the covers. “You fidget in your sleep,” he said, eventually. “This was the only way I could get any sleep.”

  “I bet you regret not letting one or all of them share a bed with me now,” I said, softly. I’d never been told I moved a lot when I slept, but I wasn’t completely surprised I’d sought out a body when it was lying next to me. “I’m sorry.”

  The hand stroking my side paused. “I’m not.”

  Inside my chest, safely hidden from Sungmin, my heart fluttered.

  That… that wasn’t a good thing…

  Sungmin didn’t see me like that.

  And yet, here I was, lying in his arms while he looked at me like… like I was beautiful…

  My heart fluttered again.

  Or maybe it was butterflies in my stomach?

  I was still half asleep, and the room was barely lit, thanks to the thick blackout curtains. I was seeing things that weren’t there.

  Besides, I was already dating six men. Seven would be gluttonous.
