Chapter 38 | Falling in Love

The alluring smell of coffee reached the nose of the detective who was unable to let go of the case. A small smile came upon the detective's face. There was only one other person in the house, and that person was you. All the other members of the pack were out at their work, even Jungkook who couldn't sit still after being on 'house arrest' for a few days. He was able to bother Jimin enough for the Fox Hybrid to agree to accompany the Bunny Hybrid to work.

"Since you're off work for the week, why don't you scent Y/N next?" Namjoon remembered the conversation he had with the eldest member of the pack the night before.

Blush coated his face as he imagined the day he would have with you alone. He couldn't help his imagination from going wild. You two were alone practically for the entire day. It felt like it was the first time he would actually have you all to himself. The younger members were more open with their want to be alone with you. He, on the other hand, was a little shy and nervous to show his wants.

You've been with them for a couple of weeks now and ever since you shared your traumatic experience, the bond between the eight of you grew. You were much more comfortable holding hands with your mates and giving them cuddles and small kisses (mostly on the cheek). But Namjoon was always a little more reserved than the others.

He already had a plan. It wouldn't rush it. It would be slow but intimate. He could just imagine the blush rush to your face as he leaned closer to scent him. Perhaps he would be able to hear your heartbeat pick up in the intimate moment you would have with him. Namjoon wanted his first scenting session with you to be different. He wanted to be set apart from the other members. Perhaps you two would kiss... perhaps... perhaps...

"No, Namjoon," he reprimanded himself. "Don't be such a creep. Get your head out of the gutter. You fucking pervert."

He shook his head as he hit his head a couple of times to get the dirty thoughts out of his head. Taking a few deep breaths to calm himself, he left his room and followed the sweet smell of coffee to the kitchen.

As soon as he was in the living room, it was like all the air was knocked out of his system. He smelled the sweetest smell of strawberries, it was mouth-watering and only one word seemed to scream inside his head. The same word that popped into his head when he met the other members of the pack: mate.

When he made it to the kitchen, blood rushed to his face. You were standing there, back faced to him, as you hummed one of the songs made by Yoongi. You were in a very oversized t-shirt that he immediately recognized as Seokjin's and he couldn't tell if you were wearing any bottoms underneath the shirt since it was too big on you. For a split, second, he really wanted it to be his shirt that you were wearing.

It was like his body was on auto-pilot. By the time he was able to think properly, he was already standing right behind you with his arms wrapped around your waist.

You gasped at the sudden contact but smiled when you felt a tail wrap around your leg and a chin rest on top of your head.

"Good morning," you said with a smile.

"Morning," Namjoon whispered causing a chill to go down your spine and your heart rate pick up. "You smell so good."

"Do I?" You asked with a laugh that caused a smile to grow on his face. He really liked the sound of your laugh, he would do anything to hear it again.

"Yeah," Namjoon nodded and you felt his bobbing head as he kept his chin on your head causing you to laugh at the feeling.

"Coffee?" You asked as you poured a cup for yourself.

"Please."

"You are getting some rest, aren't you?" You asked as you poured a cup for Namjoon.

"Maybe," Namjoon said after a moment.

"Oppa-" Namjoon's heart seemed like it skipped a beat when he heard that word. For some strange reason, it felt very intimate to him. He had to reprimand himself as more non-pg thoughts filled his head.

"Yeah, yeah," he said mindlessly. In all honesty, he didn't even hear what you said after the word 'oppa'.

You shook yourself free from Namjoon's grip to turn and face him. "I'm serious," you said narrowing your eyes and trying your best to be intimidating.

Namjoon chuckled as he saw your feeble attempts and ruffled your hair. "Okay," he said, still not aware of what he was promising, and brought you in for a hug. His arms were securely wrapped around your small body. He couldn't help but notice that you seemed to be just the right height and size for him. You fit perfectly in his embrace.

You huffed, knowing that he wasn't taking you seriously. But you didn't move away, you really liked being hugged by him. You felt safe in his embrace. You could hear his steady heartbeat and it was as if your own heartbeat began to match his.

"This is really comfortable," Namjoon mumbled and you hummed in agreement.

Slowly, Namjoon's face dipped lower and lower until his neck was level with yours. He slowly started rubbing his sweat glands on yours, successfully and effectively scenting you. He pulled away and with a smirk he pressed a small kiss to your sweat gland, causing you to yelp in surprise.

He pulled away again and made eye contact with you. His face was so close to yours that you could practically feel his nose touch your nose. His eyes flickered down to your lips as your eyes did the same. He gently cupped your face as he leaned in closer pressing his lips on yours.

Your eyes fluttered closed as you let him kiss you. One of his hands left your cheek and moved behind to hold your waist, bringing you closer to him.

Your hands, which were by your side, moved almost on their own. One hand rested on his chest, feeling his heartbeat that was quicker than before, and the other hand went to the back of his neck holding him gently. Your lips moved against his and you could have sworn that your mind went blank.

You pulled away to breathe and Namjoon's lips chased after yours. You giggled as his lips came into contact with yours again.

"I think I love you, Y/N," Namjoon breathed mumbling against your lips.

Your eyes opened widely at his admission.

"You don't have to say it back," Namjoon told you as he gave one more quick kiss to your lips. "I just wanted to let you know."

"I think I'm falling in love with you, oppa," you admitted in a voice that was barely above a whisper.

But Namjoon heard it.

Namjoon felt as if everything fell into place. At that moment, the case was nowhere in his mind. All he could think of was you and your confession and how complete he felt.
