The next day, you were laying in bed before dawn and stared at the ceiling, lost in the memory of Taehyung's dark eyes and his low, commanding voice. You hear voices outside your window and rise to take a peek. You see Taehyung and your father talking with each other

Taehyung laughed at one of your father's jokes. Your father was asking him a variety of questions. It was a test, of course, to see what kind of man he was.

"So, today you take our Y/N with you," your father said.

"Yes. She seems okay with the idea," Taehyung said, not sure how eager to sound. "She's a great girl. You must be very proud of her."

"No father could ask for a better child. She is the flower of our family" Your father replied.

Taehyung glanced at your brother, who was standing close enough to hear. He either nodded in agreement or glared at him in warning.

"She'll make a good wife for the right man." Her father pressed his lips together, as though the decision was still paining him. "You will be good to her, though? She's an innocent girl. A good girl."

"I'll take good care of her. If she's not happy with me, I'll send her home to you." He held your father's gaze earnestly, until the man nodded in approval.

Taehyung has repeatedly thought, Maybe he should have stuck with dating worldly women. That wasn't what he wanted, though. He could have married almost anyone if all he wanted was arm candy. He wanted a real wife. A partner who had the same values and would share the kind of connection with him that his best friends had with their wives.

When it came to you, he felt like he was abducting a child from her loving family. Would he ever be able to sleep with you, let alone explore a BDSM relationship with you, after seeing that look of adoration and concern on her father's face?

Taehyung and your father slipped out of your view. Someone knocked at your door, you turned to find your mother with a stack of towels.

"Sweetheart, your father and Taehyung have gone to the nearby pool for a dip. Can you go hand them these towels?" She asked. "And maybe you can make him an american instant coffee"

You carry the towels and the mug down the road to the nearby pool. It was empty for the most part,

"you!"

Taehyung emerges out of the water in nothing but his underwear. His broad, chiseled chest heaves, as drops of water slipped down his skin. A breathtaking lion tattoo was inked on his pecks.

"Good morning, it's nice to see you" He greets.

"Good Morning..."

"What brings you here?"

"Just to hand these towels and I made you this coffee" You reply and hand down the coffee mug to him.

"I really needed that...Thank you for that little flower" He says, causing you to blush. He takes the towel and walks towards the changing room.

"Come with me" He offers but you hesitate.

"Come on. We are going to get married. It's okay." He says and offers his hand. You finally take his hand and he wraps his fingers around yours and tugs. He leads into the changing room, his broad back dripping wet in front of you. After reaching the changing room, he rubs his chiseled abs and his long arms. you stare, mesmerized as he slicks the water from his hair.

"Are you nervous about going to America?"

"A little...yes"

"Yes, it's normal as it is a big change for you all at once"

"Yes, but I'm excited as well...It's a chance to see the US"

"Is that all I am to you Y/N? A chance to see the US?" He says.

"No, I - uh...I just"

"Relax, I was kidding"

You playfully smack his arm and his eyes change. He suddenly looks very dominating and powerful.

"Careful baby girl, you don't wanna start something you can't end..." Saying that his eyes darken and he takes a step towards her.

"There's a spot on my back I can't really reach with the towel. Do you mind helping me out?" He said.

"Sure sir" you reply.

Taehyung's muscles visibly tighten. He tilts your chin up so you can look him in the eyes.

"Never call me sir again..."

"Oh...I'm sorry" you reply.

He then holds out the towel for you and you take it with trembling hands. He turns bearing his sculpted, damp back to you. Slowly, you run the towel down his spine, sipping up the beads of water that linger there. Each muscle melts behind your touch. You can't help but imagine exploring his entire body.

"Listen you, I understand you feeling nervous about moving in with me but there's seriously nothing to worry about" As you dry the back of his neck, he turns to face you. Your eyes widen as you watch the towel graze his tattooed chest.

"I'm going to take care of you no matter what. I'll give you the world when you are with me"

His deep eyes bore into yours. He leans in like he's about to kiss you.

"Okay?" He says as he leans in closer. Your heart pounds in your chest. Then he gently places a kiss on your forehead. You hear footsteps approaching. You quickly make your way out and glance at Taehyung one last time. He winks at you and you feel your cheeks heated up.

The next 24 hours pass in a haze of packing and goodbyes. Before you know it, you are standing in the airport with your parents. Your mother fixes your hair, and your father's eyes glisten. You feel tears well up inside of you.

"Good Morning" You turn to find Taehyung with Nina at his side. He looked confident and at ease, in direct contrast to you.

"Dry your eyes child, This is not a goodbye forever" Nina says patting your back.

Your mother reaches for the back of her neck and unclasps her golden, Korean orthodox cross necklace and then clasps the necklace around yours.

"Be brave Y/N. We all love you" Your mother said and each gave her a hug and it was finally the time to leave.

You follow Taehyung through a labyrinth of security and custom lines before boarding the plane and settling into first class seats.

"Have you ever traveled in a plane?" Taehyung asks.

"Twice..." You reply. "Never in a first class though..."

"You are shaking" He says with concern.

"It's just that , those two times weren't the most pleasant experiences of my life"

Taehyung wraps his warm fingers around yours and pulls you closer.

"It'll be okay" Warmth and a feeling of assurance spreads all over you.

The plane was about to take off. You took your seats. The plane picks up speed.

You cling to his hand and he feels every tiny bone against his palm and fingers. The plane bumped along as it descended, unaware of the terror it was inspiring in one of its passengers.

Taehyung covered the back of your hand with his other one and made shushing sounds close to your ear.This was only the first of a million things that might be a difficult adjustment in your new life with him.

Why had he given in to Nina when she'd insisted on this? Of course, he'd always had a soft spot where Nina was concerned, but this went above and beyond familial duty.

"Anytime now the plane will land"

He wasn't sure you were listening. The desperation in your eyes gave him the impression you were in your own private hell.

When reassurance didn't work, he moved on to plan B.

"You," he said sharply.

Your eyes cleared as though you were listening, but you looked a bit afraid of him.

"In life, there are a lot of things to be afraid of. Traveling by plane is not one of them. Now, you will relax your body, and focus on slowing down your breathing. Your mind and body are feeding off of each other's panic. Stop. Now." His tone was calm and firm. It was the sort of tone he used with a submissive who started to panic when she was bound.

Your gaze clung to his face. You drew a slow, shaking breath, then another, using him as your focal point.

"Good girl." He had the urge to pet your hair, but contented himself with stroking the back of your hand. "Relax your muscles. In ten minutes the plane will land. Almost done."

Taehyung could tell you were trying hard not to cry.

Eventually the seat belt light turned off. As you disembarked, he kept hold of your hand, noticing the way your legs still trembled below the hem of your dress.

You looked adorable. Taehyung wouldn't have been surprised if someone thought she was too young for him. Sure, you were an adult and old enough to make your own decisions, but your innocence was palpable even to the casual observer.

Then, Taehyung leans in to kiss you , his lips a breath away from yours. His lips brush against yours. His hand grazes the back of your neck, and he pulls you closer , deepening the kiss as his lips tenderly move over yours. He pulls away and nuzzles his nose with yours. Then he traces your collarbone with his fingers as you shiver with his touch.

"Well done Y/N, you need to hang in there. I'm going to show you a whole new world"
