Disrobe

Vena Amoris [R.]

Yun Ki has Soojin seated at the foot of the bed, while he kneels before her.

The windows of the chamber are wide open, gusts of wind flow in, rattling the wind chimes composed of coloured glass that strike against another and fill the silence that their first night as a wed couple brings.

The curtains are inflating and behaving as though they are heavy clouds, waiting to rain down on the couple, shower them with love and blessings.

Soojin sits on the edge of the lavish, red silk bed, hands fiddling with each other's as the inexperience and timid gestures of a newly wed bride kick in.

She's changed out of her ceremonial robe and is dressed in a purple satin robe, hair tied in a neat bun, bangs framing the sides of her face, brushing against the milky soft skin that Yun Ki wishes he could run his knuckles over.

He's sat before her, like a humble servant, on his knees as he stares up at his world.

The hardwood flooring of the room is stabbing into his kneecaps and he's as right as ever, sucking in a breath in his plain brown vest, hair open and dancing along his shoulders, floating through the air as the magnitude of wind strikes his being and reminds him of a union.

The union of two souls who were destined to be, destined to love and destined to be cherished by each other.

He watches Soojin chew down on her bottom lip, nervous as her heart thumps in her wild chest.

Yun Ki grasps her fiddling hands, intertwining her digits with his own larger ones in a conjunction.

She watches how gentle his fingers are, in and between hers, as they dance along her skin, setting fire to her insides in longing.

It'd been far too long, far overdue.

She looks down at him and meets his sensuous gaze.

He looks magnificent, much like a King who has returned from war and into the arms of his lover.

Only, this man had fought battles of his own, faced rejections and mirrored his insecurities.

She wanted to hold him to her chest, pat down his back and tell him he was enough.

That he was a man who was made to be special.

Tailor-made for her heart and soul.

She feels his warm hands being replaced with a band of cool metal, as he engulfs her left hand in hers and she feels the cold touch slipping up her fourth finger.

He reveals open his grasp and Soojin eyes the Red Sapphire sitting over her ring finger.

"It's found it's way to you, finally.." He coos, watching her frail finger adorned in the band of love, his love.

He runs a finger up the skin of her ring finger, circling the red sapphire.

"Do you know why one wears a wedding band over their fourth finger?" He asks, meeting Soojin's glistening eyes as her chest heaves in overwhelming emotion.

She shakes her head, hastily.

Yun Ki chuckles, pressing the pad of his finger over the middle of Soojin's finger.

"This right here, is the Vena Amoris or the vein of love." He says, running the pad of his finger over the top of her hand and over the skin of her arm that raises with goosebumps before he's placing it over the left side of her chest.

"It drains straight to the heart." He emphasises, tapping the area twice.

"My love for you runs deep in your veins and straight to your heart, Soojin-ah." He hums as he's now seated face to face with her.

Soojin's hand is shaky and she gulps, gaining courage.

She raises her cold and clammy hands and lands them over Yun Ki's cheeks, cupping his face as she runs her eyes across his face, memorising all that there is to him.

Almost as though she'd loose him if she blinked away.

She wanted to grow familiar with every part of him, his identity.

She'd been fooled in the past, never again.

Yun Ki's looking at her, with admiration, watching her eyes explore his face and landing right on the scar, that has him flinching, turning his head away in her grasp.

Soojin watches Yun Ki's retreat, watches the way he flinches in her hands and shies away.

She grabs his face tighter, cheeks all pushed in and lips out in a pout.

He was a full grown man and yet the sight of him, so squishy and soft in her hands, drove Soojin's mind to endearment.

How could someone be so fierce and loveable, all at the same time.

While his fair marshmallow cheeks and round button-like nose gave him a soft appearance, his razor sharp eyes and the red streaked scar that ran down his face gave him a rough and tough aura.

One that'd remind her that he could fold her in half, with half the power he owns in his hands.

His hands were so rough, so calloused and yet his lips, were soft as pillows.

Pillows she lay her head down over and escaped into a land where she and Yun Ki existed.

He could have her under him, right now but he chooses to be the man Soojin wants to love and admire.

"Don't you ever shy away from me, ever again, Min Yun KI.." Soojin iterates, leaning into his face.

Yun Ki's eyes flutter close as the hands that he has placed on either side of her on the bed, clutch the mattress tight and strained.

She leans into him, petal-like lips landing over his forehead, close to his scar.

Soojin kisses her way down the mark, repeatedly.

Small 'choos' of her kisses reverberating in the bedroom as she makes sure to plant her love over every inch of the wound that Yun Ki ran away from.

The wind that hadn't just streaked his face but had managed to leave a scar over a part of his heart that was healing and breathing with the elixir Soojin had to offer.

She was in love with him and he needed to know that to her, she was enough.

She pulls away, watching Yun Ki's glossy eyes open groggily as a fat bead of tear rolls down his face, ends of his lips quivering.

Soojin's heart melts at the visual.

He's her baby, so delicate and so small.

He's never been loved and hell, Soojin's hell bent on showing him how great a man he is.

She pulls him in, again.

Connecting her forehead to his as he's now full-blown burst into a pool of tears, chest heaving erratically as Soojin watches him, with her forehead plastered over his.

She's massaging his scalp, making sure the man receives the love and attention he deserves.

"You're enough, Yun Ki. You'll always be enough, for me." Soojin whimpers, kissing his eyelids, ones that are moist and sticky from the tears that are leaking past his eyes and rolling down his cheeks.

"You were enough back then and you're enough, now….Being with you, holding your hand and being the umbrella over your head in the harshest of rain is all I want to be. I want to be the reason you smile, the reason your pebbly gums show up, the reason you clutch your tummy cackling. I want to be the reason you come back to me, every night and show me how much you love me for who I am. I want to be the person you've been to me. I want to wake you up with my kisses and I want to fall asleep drenched in your love, Yun Ki…If this is what love ought to feel like, where it has your insides filling in a tornado of emotions, sweeping you off of your feet, then yes, I am in love." Soojin declares.

"I'm hopelessly in love with you, Min Yun Ki. I'm in love with your love, with your gentle caresses, with the rouge that takes over your face when I'm near you..I'm in love with your eyes, the ones that stare back into mine and make me feel although reading me isn't a chore and is effortless. I'm in love with the way you break down and grow more human, each day. I'm in love with the way you've taught me that love comes gradually. It grows on you and changes you for the better. You've taught me redemption. I love everything about you, from the way you shield your problems from down to the way your heart thumps against my chest, when I'm pushed against you.."

Yun Ki's eyes meet Soojin's in a desperation and urgency she'd never seen before.

"I-I love you. I loved you from the beginning and ..I'll love you till the end of my time." Yun Ki responds, cupping Soojin's jaw, in a close-mouthed kiss, pressing into her with love, zeal and passion.

One that has her throat hitching and eyes fluttering close in absolute euphoria.

Yun Ki pushes her on her back, her head falling against the red silk mattress as he claims over her, legs on either side of her thighs as he kisses her with tongue, one that slithers past her lips and rubs against hers, coating her own in his fluids.

Her mouth is warm and so soft, it has Yun Ki's animalistic instincts kicking in as he bites down over her lower lip, releasing it with a lewd pop.

He'd breathing frantically as he grasps her Red Sapphire adorned hand in his and pushes it against the mattress, on the side of her head.

"I was made for you, just the way you were made for me." He whispers against her lips, kissing away her tears, that coat his taste buds in saline.

Soojin raises her hips, such that her core is now pressing into Yun Ki's groin and moves it in a circular rhythm, teasingly.

She watches Yun Ki's neck flex in arousal.

"Wh-What are you doing to me.." He groans, head settling in the crook of her neck, nibbling over her skin.

"I-I want you..all of you." He whimpers, coating her carotid in streaks of red as Soojin's neck bends and the pad of her foot rubs against the mattress, rutting up into him to get the perfect friction.

A sly hand trails down Yun Ki's body as it travels south and cups his throbbing heat, palming it.

Soojin's pressing into his member that lies heavy in her palm and scares her at how big it has grown from a passionate kiss.

"Y-You're throbbing in my hand.." Soojin mewls, fingers running along his engorged coated length that could tear past the fabric at how painfully hard he was.

"I-It's all for you.." He groans in a throaty voice as his hands peer open her satin robe, tearing it from the slit in the middle and exposing Soojin's bare flesh that have his eyes rolling to the back of his head.

He runs a palm over her midriff, feeling just how soft her skin is.

Her nipples stand perky and beaded in response to the cool air that blows into the room, stimulating her.

"I'm going to go insane if I don't run my hands over every part of you..I'll be damned if I let you go, tonight.." He mewls, toying the thick bundle of nerves, that have Soojin's back arching.
