Married To The Jeon

CHAPTER 36

Jungkook's eyes fly open, and he gazes at me as if I've just said the world is flat. He frowns. "Belong to you?" he murmurs, testing the words.

"Mine."

"Yours," he says, repeating the words we spoke in the playroom only yesterday. "Yes, I would. If it meant that much to you."

Oh my.

"Does it mean that much to you?"

"Yes." He is unequivocal.

"Okay." I will do this for him. Give him the reassurance he still needs.

"I thought you'd already agreed to this."

"Yes I have, but now we've discussed it further, I'm happier with my decision."

"Oh," he mutters, surprised. Then he smiles his beautiful, boyish yes-I-am-really-kinda-young smile, and he takes my breath away. Grabbing me by my waist, he swings me around. I squeal and start to giggle, and I don't know if he's just happy or relieved or . . . what?

"Mrs. Jeon, do you know what this means to me?"

"I do now."

He leans down and kisses me, his fingers moving into my hair, holding me in place.

"It means seven shades of Sunday," he murmurs against my lips, and he runs his nose along mine.

"You think?" I lean back to gaze at him.

"Certain promises were made. An offer extended, a deal brokered,"

he whispers, his eyes sparkling with wicked delight.

"Um . . ." I am still reeling, trying to follow his mood.

"You reneging on me?" he asks uncertainly, and a speculative look crosses his face. "I have an idea," he adds.

Oh, what kinky fuckery is this?

"A really important matter to attend to," he continues, suddenly all serious once more. "Yes, Mrs. Jeon. A matter of the gravest importance."

Hang on - he's laughing at me.

"What?" I breathe.

"I need you to cut my hair. Apparently it's overlong, and my wife doesn't like it."

"I can't cut your hair!"

"Yes you can." Jungkook grins and shakes his head so his overlong hair covers his eyes.

"Well, if Mrs. Jones has a pudding bowl." I giggle. He laughs. "Okay, good point well made. I'll get Franco to do it."

What? No! Franco works for her? Maybe I could give him a trim. After all, I cut Ray's hair for years, and he never complained.

"Come." I grab his hand. His eyes widen. I lead him all the way to our bathroom where I release him and grab the white wooden chair that stands in the corner. I place it in front of the sink. When I look at Jungkook, he's gazing at me with ill-disguised amusement, thumbs tucked in the front belt loops of his pants but his eyes are smoking hot.

"Sit." I gesture to the empty chair, trying to maintain the upper hand.

"Are you going to wash my hair?"

I nod. He arches one brow in surprise, and for a moment I think he's going to back down. "Okay." Slowly he begins to undo each button of his white shirt, starting with the one beneath his throat. Nimble, deft fingers move to each button in turn until his shirt hangs open. Oh my . . . My inner goddess pauses in her celebratory jaunt around the arena.
