"You said you'd tell me what you are," I huffed, crossing my arms as I stared at Junho's back. He grinned, turning around to face me as he reached out to press the elevator button that would take us to the basement.
His confident grin made me pout in frustration. He chuckled, taking a step forward to place his hands on my hips, moving me against the elevator wall, pinning me in place.
"Why are you so curious all of a sudden?" he whispered, his bright blue eyes lowering to my lips. I watched the growing lust that flashed across his face.
If it wasn't for the fact I really wanted to learn more about Junho and his spirit, I would have gotten lost in the desire to kiss him and make out in the elevator.
"Because I want to know," I mumbled, lowering my gaze to those pink lips that were so tempting.
Junho leaned in, his lips brushing gently against mine. "If you find the stone before me, then I'll tell you," he whispered.
"But that-"
He didn't let me finish, claiming my lips once more. I couldn't resist his charm, craving those lips and his addictive taste. My arms were around his neck in seconds and he lifted me up with ease, moving us to the other side of the elevator. My legs wrapped around his waist and he held me with one hand as he slammed the emergency stop button of the elevator, causing it to lurch to a halt.
Our somewhat selfish action only turned me on more and I briefly debated whether it was illegal to have sex inside an elevator. We kissed and kissed, my hands running through his brown locks while he continued to hold me like I weighed nothing.
I cursed my decision to wear leather pants, not thinking we’d have time to do anything as steamy as having a passionate make out session in the elevator, but here we were. I made a mental note to find some future alone time with Junho, so we could pick up from wherever this moment ended.
We pulled apart when Junho's phone rang, both of us out of breath and our cheeks flushed.
Junho gave me a seductive grin, leaning in and tugging on my bottom lip with his teeth before kissing me again, but at a much slower pace.
"Your phone, silly," I whispered, but couldn't help kissing him.
He chuckled against my lips before I unhooked my legs from around him.
He made sure I was okay standing on my own before he pulled his phone out, looking at the display. He shook his head before he picked it up.
"You're a party pooper,” he declared.
My instincts told me Ethan was on the line.
"Is that Ethan?" I asked.
"Yeah. He's complaining that our soon to be lovemaking is making him horny at the workplace," Junho revealed. I blushed, while trying not to laugh.
"OMG! Did he see all of it?" I asked.
Junho laughed, putting the phone on speaker so we could both hear Ethan's rant.
"I swear, you smooth motherfucker, stop making out with Scar during the job. Do you know how fast I had to move to change the camera screen and put the service sign up on your elevator? I bet if Scar wasn't wearing leather, you two would be fucking by now," Ethan argued.
"Your guess is rather accurate," Junho said confidently. His eyes met mine, his gaze telling me we would definitely have alone time when this assignment was done.
"I hate you. Not you, Scar. I meant Junho," Ethan clarified.
I laughed. "Sorry, Ethan. I promise we'll have some time alone as well. Soon."
Junho chuckled. "No one was stopping him from joining us. You're the one who wanted to stay behind and be our watchdog, Ethan. You have to suffer the consequences of getting hard and getting to watch the show." Junho shrugged
"I'm totally gonna get you back for this, mate, and when I do I'm gonna make sure your ass can't go masturbate while I’m enjoying myself with Scar," Ethan huffed. "I'm putting the elevator in service again. No more making out,” he scolded.
"Yes, Papa." Junho teased.
I giggled. "Thanks, Ethan."
"See Junho, you have to be polite like Scarlet. Jeez," Ethan complained before he hung up the phone. Junho and I exchanged a look before we broke out laughing.
"Poor Ethan. Always covering our backs." I ran my hands through my hair to make it look more presentable. I'd be tying it up anyways, but at least I wouldn't have the “just made out with my sexy boyfriend in the elevator” look.
Junho slid his phone back into his jacket pocket before reaching out to hold my hand. I smiled at his sweet gesture, having to remind myself that I could hold hands with Junho and the others, unlike in my past relationship with Jake.
I knew we were heading to work and we'd have to get into agent mode, but moments like these made my heart swell and I realized how blessed I was to have these men in my life.
"He enjoys it, even if he complains fifty percent of the time. I'm glad he has our backs though. I don't make logical decisions when I'm turned on." Junho winked at me and my cheeks burned with his flirty confidence.
"Does that confidence ever go down?" I pondered, more to myself than to him.
"Sometimes. Just haven't gotten to see that side of me yet, Sweetheart,” he whispered. Just then, the elevator reached the basement floor and the doors opened.
His words reminded me of my original plan to persuade him to tell me what he was. "You distracted me," I accused as we made our way to our rides in the basement of the building.
Ethan had gotten a tip that Xerxes' lackeys were investigating a remote area on a cliff, which was surrounded by a massive lake, that led to the ocean. It seemed whatever Junho was had to be connected to water, since he was automatically chosen to take on the assignment.
After my discussion with Christian, I'd had a word with everyone this morning and they agreed it would be best if I trained with each of them.
This time with Junho would be the perfect chance to get a feel for being around water and maybe I'd be able to test out my skills when we had some downtime. If we didn't discover the crystal’s whereabouts on this mission, that is.
"Did I?" Junho hummed innocently. I groaned, tempting to pull my hand out of his, but he squeezed it gently before looking back over his shoulder at me.
"I'll give you a hint,” he offered. I narrowed my eyes at his amused expression, which only caused him to laugh. "Have a little faith in me, Scar."
"Fine. What's your hint?" I questioned, trying to hide the fact I was excited to hear what he was about to say. Maybe with a clue, I'd be able to figure out what his spirit was.
"The hint is...two."
"Two?" I asked, completely confused.
"Yup, two,” he replied. We turned the corner to see two motorcycles; one was a vibrant hot pink with hints of red, while the other was a bright blue with hints of green.
"Two what? The bikes?" I asked. Junho grinned, letting go of my hand to do a check of both bikes. Then he pulled out the keys from his pocket, tossing a set towards me.
I caught it with ease, noticing a whale keychain on the set of keys that made me smile with glee. Ahhh, a whale keychain. This is so pretty.
"Will she ever find out who Junho really is?" Serenity hummed.
"Tune in next time, on the Scarlet Chronicles," Aurora finished. Her monotone voice made her sound bored, which was only emphasized by her yawn.
You two are so mean to me. I groaned, shaking my head before looking at Junho, who was already sitting on his blue and green bike and was putting on a pair of black gloves.
Junho met my gaze and grinned. "Two spirits, Scarlet."
"Wait, two?! Like how I have two? Now I have to guess twice?!" I exclaimed, walking over to my bike. Junho smirked and then pulled out a pair of pink gloves, reaching out his hand to present them to me.
I gave him an appreciative smile as I took them, sliding them on and strapping them up with ease, before I got on my bike and started it up.
"I'm never going to figure this one out about your spirits," I whined loud enough for Junho to hear over the engine.
He laughed, getting off his bike and coming over to give me my helmet. I reached out to put it on, but he held onto it, leaning in to a place a soft kiss on the nape of my neck.
"If you find the crystal before me, I'll tell you,” he whispered in my ear. Then he pulled back and placed my pinkish red helmet on my head.
"That only gives me a 50% chance, and that’s only IF the crystal is there to begin with," I huffed.
"Okay. If you find it, I'll show you what I am. Better?" he presented.
"Tease," I grumbled and he chuckled, moving in to kiss me one more time on the lips before he pulled away, lowering the clear front shield of my helmet.
"Don't cause trouble and follow the speed limit,” he ordered.
"Can't I pull a Christian?" I questioned.
He groaned. "No. I'm not chasing after you and I can't drive that fast."
"You did when Mako and I were getting chased by those crazy shifters," I reminded with a grin.
"That...was different and Marcus was driving,” he argued.
"Well, let's have fun until we have to work," I hummed, gripping the handles and began to move towards the exit.
"Scar, wait for me!" Junho called out. I smiled, slowly coming to a stop as I waited for him to put his helmet on and move out of our parking spot.
I took a calming breathe, realizing in a few moments we'd have to focus on the assignment at hand.
The next crystal, huh? I wonder where we'll find it.
