———————————-

The hairs on the back of your neck stood up. You leaned back to search his eyes for any sign of green, but the irises were completely black. Your heart picked up speed. You didn’t know if you should run or just hold on for dear life.

“Now, now, no reason to fear, my love. I’m still me. Just a bit more…..”

“Animal?”

He chuckled low into your ear and you shuddered. He nuzzled his nose against the skin below your ear while you struggled to maintain coherent thoughts.

“Hmm, yes. But I’m still me.”

“Um….why don’t you tell me what JooHyung said first?”

“I don’t want to talk about him right now.” His statement was said through gritted teeth. You decided that it was probably safer just to drop the subject. Not for fear of Taekwoon, but to keep him from going back to the apartment and killing the wolf.

“Well, just the same. I don’t think it would be wise to test the panther’s……abilities while I have a head injury.”

“Hmm….well….you don’t have to do anything. You can just…” He ran his hands over your thighs and placed a light kiss on your neck. “lay back and enjoy.”

Nervous laughter erupted from your mouth and his hands stilled. He raised his head to look at you.

“I-I don’t think that would work.” You watched as his lips turned up into the most devilish grin you’d ever seen. His fingers walked themselves along the skin of your thighs until they reached your hips.

“Yeah? Why not?” His hands pulled at the hem of your shirt. “Just because I’m letting the panther take over, doesn’t mean it has to be rough. We can go slow. Very slow.”

His eyes seemed to go even darker and goosebumps rose on your skin. You had to admit that you had been curious about his more animalistic side. And he did seem to be more in control now. You understood that he had left-over energy from “talking” to JooHyung. He needed to send that energy somewhere. You certainly were not complaining. However, you were still unsure.

You were still immersed in your thoughts when Taekwoon’s hands gently cradled your face and brought your lips to his. True to his word, he was not rough. If it weren’t for the fact that his eyes were black, you would have thought that the panther was at bay again. You kissed him back as his hands began to wander again. Fingers caressed your spine and travelled lower. His hands once again found your legs and his thumbs began to trace circles along your inner thighs. A sigh of pleasure released from your throat as his lips found your tattoo. Your skin was heated and you ached for him to put his hands elsewhere. You decided to hell with the consequences and rolled your hips down on his, giving him silent permission to continue. A growl erupted from his chest and he abruptly stood up with you, stalking towards the bedroom. Your legs wrapped around his waist and you smiled. He had half of your clothes removed by the time you reached your bed. You knew you would be exhausted and sore in the morning but you didn’t care. Perhaps, you needed this as much as he did.

——————————————

“How do we not know anything about this?! When I think about where she could have ended up I-I….”

“I know, Taekwoon-ah. Maybe some of the other hybrids we know will have some knowledge about it. We need to keep a close eye on them. Especially if there is a market for their abilities. (Y/N) is a bit safer because she’s attached to you but that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t take her.”

You woke up slowly to Taekwoon and Hakyeon’s conversation. It was a bit confusing so you gave up and decided to ask Taekwoon later. Right now, you were too sore to care. Taekwoon’s…..stamina was apparently enhanced when the panther side of him is in control. Your legs felt like jello and your heartbeat was echoing in your head.

Your last thought made you stop and lie very still. It took a few minutes to realize what was happening. It wasn’t your heartbeat.

It was Taekwoon’s.

Now that your head was clearing, you could make out the two different beats. Yours was more dominant, of course. But, you could still hear his, loud and clear.

You wanted to get up and jump for joy but when you tried to sit up, you were unable. No matter how you tried, your body did not have the strength to move. You could move your arms sightly but not enough to matter. This was more than just being sore. You felt almost paralyzed.

“Taekwoon?”

You listened for him and heard Hakyeon say his goodbyes, promising to talk later. Not three seconds later, Taekwoon was at the door, a concerned look on his face.

“What’s wrong?”

“I can’t move.” Panic was setting in and you hated the feeling of helplessness.

“Its okay. Its normal.” He walked over quickly and sat on the bed next to you.

“I wouldn’t really call this normal, Taekwoon. What happened?” You tried to sit up again but failed. Taewoon reached forward and pulled you up to a sitting position and leaned you back against the headboard.

“You had a bit of an overload to your system. I didn’t mean for it to happen but somewhere in the midst of our…adventures last night, the panther took over completely. Its hard to explain. I was still me and I could control my body but it was more….enhanced. To put it in simpler terms, its like the purest form of mating for hybrids.”

“More so than the tattoo? I could at least move after that.”

“Yeah, I know. Its a little different. Its usually reserved for making babies, but that obviously wasn’t the goal last night. Unless you want it to be. If thats the case, I may need to call into work.” He chuckled a bit but you could only blush.

“I think we can wait to experiment with that a few more years down the road.”

“Hmm, pity.” You simply rolled your eyes at his response. Taekwoon was the type of man who wanted a house full of kids. You didn’t mind at all but you also didn’t think it was the right time.

He scooted closer to you and placed a soft kiss on your forehead.

“I can hear your heartbeat.”

He leaned back and smiled down at you.

“I was wondering if you would. Its usually a side-effect. Is that….okay?”

“Of course its okay! You told me it would take practice so I thought I was doing something wrong. I’ve always been jealous that you could hear mine.”

“Well….that part was true. I just didn’t mention was KIND of practice.” His eyes slid over your body and you could hear the rhythm pick up. If it was possible, your cheeks would have turned an even darker shade of red. He noticed your embarrassment and laughed. He reached forward and pulled you into his arms.

“Do you feel okay, though? How’s your head?”

“Other than the fact that I can’t move? Sure. I think I’m okay. My head feels strangely…okay. What about you? You look tired.”

“Letting the panther take over so much yesterday kind of took all of my energy. I was planning on waking up next to you this morning but Hakyeon came over.”

“Yes, I heard you both talking earlier. What was it about? JooHyung?”

“You know, I really don’t like his name coming from your lips.” He sighed and played with your fingers. You giggled at his obvious jealousy.

“Sorry.” You cleared your throat and started again. “Was it about the short, idiotic wolf-hybrid who is definitely going to need help walking around for a while?”

He grinned at your description and looked back down at your hands.

“He’ll need help writing, too.” You looked at him, confused, and he continued. “I may have also broken his fingers.”

“What?!”

“He was bragging about how he had gotten to touch you first and what he was gonna do when he got his hands on you again! It was his own fault. He knew what would happen.” He sounded like a kid trying to justify why he had stolen the last piece of cake.

“I’m not saying you shouldn’t have. Its just a little surprising. You seem to be more upset with him than you did HaeJeong.”

“Oh, believe me, if you would have left me alone with HaeJeong, he wouldn’t be in prison now. He’d be six-feet under.”

Taekwoon placed you back against the headboard and rose to his feet. You thought he was leaving but he stopped at your closet. He rummaged around until he had a full outfit for you to wear, complete with underwear. He walked back over and snatched the blanket from you, leaving you completely exposed.

“Taekwoon!”

“The guys will be over here soon and I rather not have to kill my bandmates. It was difficult enough for me to let Hakyeon in earlier.”

“But they wouldn’t come in here. All of you are complete gentlemen.” You tried to reach for the blanket at the edge of the bed since you could move your arms but it was too far.

“I know that. But it’s instinct, you know? I can’t help it. Its fine if your dressed and all but in the back of my mind, your naked and helpless.” He shrugged as if he was silently apologizing. You could do nothing but laugh.

“Yes, I am aware of that. But how am I supposed to shower and get dressed? Are you forgetting that its your fault that I’m naked and helpless?”

“Well it just so happens that I need a shower too. So…”

It took only a couple of seconds to realize what he was suggesting. Your eyes went wide and you shook your head violently.

“Nope. Absolutely not.”

“Aw, come on. You never let me in there with you. Why not?”

“How much longer will I be paralyzed?”

“At least a few more hours.”

You groaned in frusration and collapsed onto the mattress. You reached over, grabbed your pillow and covered yourself with it. Your actions earned a slight growl from the other side of the room. He was miffed that his view was blocked.

“Oh, be quiet.”

You felt the bed dip and you were surprised that he didn’t try to remove the pillow.

“Why not? Its perfectly natural for couples to want to shower together.”

“I-I know. I just…..”

“I’ll be on my best behavior. I’ll just help you and then I’ll take my own shower. Deal?”

You wanted to say no but you also really wanted a shower.

“Fine.”

——————————-

Apparently, Taekwoon’s ‘best behavior’ meant kissing every newly washed patch of skin for “good luck”. You were a mess of giggles by the time you were finished. But, he did as promised and took his own shower separately after he helped you get dressed.

Now, you were sitting on the couch avoiding eye contact with Hakyeon and Jaehwan. The others had yet to arrive.

“Noona, are you sick or something? You’ve barely moved.” You silently cursed Hakyeon for being his usual observant self.

“I’m fine. Just a little wore out from everything that happened yesterday.” It wasn’t a lie. You just didn’t specify WHICH part of the day that had worn you out.

Finally, Taekwoon emerged from the bathroom, freshly showered, and sat down next to you.

“Taekwoon hyung, are you not taking proper care of your wifey?! She looks exhausted. Don’t you know she went through a lot yesterday?” Jaehwan huffed at his elder and winked at you.

“What do you mean? I’ve taken extra-special care of her.” Your eyes widened at Taekwoon’s change in heart rhythm and you knew exactly what he was thinking about. You prayed that they wouldn’t notice your blushing.

“We’re not here to question their personal lives. We need to talk about what we learned from JooHyung.” Hakyeon gave Jaehwan a look and the raven quieted immediately. You had a horrible suspicion that Hakyeon knew everything. He was just too much of a gentleman to say it.

“True. But where are the others?”

As if on cue, Hyuk and Hongbin burst through the front door, full of giggles.

“Wonshikkie hyung isn’t coming.” Hyuk was trying to explain through his laughter.

“Why not?”

“He texted me earlier and told me in not so many nice words that if anyone came near his room today, they would be singing soprano for the rest of their lives.” Hongbin struggled just as much as Hyuk with his words.

“So, we decided to help him out.”

Hakyeon smacked his own forehead in frustration and turned to the maknae.

“What did you do?”

“Well….we kind of tied one end of a rope to his doorknob and the other to Hongbin’s doorknob. So unless someone unties it, they aren’t getting out at all.” After Hyuk finished explaining, he fell into a fit of laughter on the floor.

You couldn’t help but laugh with them. Sometimes, you really loved how childish they could be.

“Well, we’ll just have to deal with that later. Taekwoon? Why don’t you fill everyone in on what JooHyung said?”

“Yeah, sure. To put it simply. He was planning on selling (y/n) and JiYoon. There is apparently a hybrid underground market that deals with these kinds of things. With JiYoon being a healer and (y/n) a handler, he would have been very rich. I was going to ask Jimin’s uncle when he came to get the wolf but I was over here.”

Your mind reeled at what Taekwoon was saying. You mourned for the friendship you thought you’d had with JooHyung. You couldn’t believe what had almost happened.

“So, we would have been sold to other hybrids?” Taekwoon’s hands sought out yours to still their shaking. “This happens a lot?”

“Apparently. But we’ve never even heard of something like that.” Hakyeon shrugged.

“I have.” Hyuk had his head down and spoke softly. “A girl, a rabbit hybrid, went missing from my school in ninth grade. Everyone thought she had just ran away. But, I heard my parents talking about her parents suspecting that it was the underground market. They said they had seen some hybrids in town that were known to be connected to the market. They trade the weaker species to predator species for different…..things. Her parents never heard from her again.”

“We definitely need to talk to Jimin’s uncle.” Taekwoon looked at Hyuk sorrowfully. You suspected that the rabbit hybrid may have been his friend. He looked as if he would never be happy again.

“I’m so sorry, Hyukkie. Maybe if we find out more about this, we might be able to find her.”

“I doubt it. But we do need to find out more.”

Your heart broke for Hyuk.

“Did you get any names out of JooHyung?” You turned to Taekwoon but he only growled. You remembered what he’d said earlier about you saying JooHyung’s name. You sighed. “I’ll take that as a no.”

“I think Taekwoonie hyung is still a little on edge from last night. I haven’t seen you that angry in a while.” Hongbin smiled a bit. You realized that he was trying to lighten the mood.

“Yeah. Thank goodness we had Noona there.”

“He controlled himself rather well without me. He even resisted me calling out his stage name for a bit.”

“He did?!” JaeHwan looked over at Taekwoon, surprised.

“Mmhmm. Usually he just goes all limp-noodle. He should have been on the floor but he just stood there.” You shrugged as you recalled his reaction from the previous night.

“I do not go "limp-noodle”!“

The others laughed at his obvious frustration at being center of attention.

"It’s okay, hyung. It happens to guys sometimes. It doesn’t mean you’re any less of a man.” Hyuk’s face showed a mock concern that only resulted in Taekwoon’s anger.

Taekwoon started off towards the maknae and you felt compelled to stop laughing and save him.

“Leo!”

Your eyes widened when he didn’t stop. He looked as if he was struggling but he was still moving. He turned to you with red eyes and a confused expression. The entire room gasped as they realized what was happening.

“Shit.”
