Love in the Shadows (Part 4)

001 tilted his head back, exposing his throat completely as a shudder ran through him. "Kiss me," he demanded softly, needing to feel Gi-hun's lips on his, craving that final connection amidst the turmoil of their hatred and love. "Kiss me like you mean it."

*Gi-hun tensed, then without warning, he crushed their lips together, tongues clashing furiously. Every wall he'd built over years crumbled in that single, passionate kiss. His whole body shook as he drove deeper, harder, driven by pure need. "Hnng..." *

001 cried out into the kiss, overwhelmed by the sudden intensity, by the raw hunger and desperation in Gi-hun's actions. His fingers dug into Gi-hun's shoulders, nails raking down his back as he surrendered completely to the tempest of sensation and emotion. "Aah..."

"Fuck," Gi-hun gasped against his lips, each thrust becoming harder, more purposeful. One hand slid under 001's neck, tilting his head for a deeper kiss while the other gripped his hip possessively. He was losing himself entirely, drowning in 001's submission..

*001 could only whimper in response, completely at Gi-hun's mercy. Every thrust reignited the fire burning inside him, a fire that only Gi-hun could stoke and control. "Baby, baby, baby..."

Gi-hun broke the kiss to trail open-mouthed kisses down 001's throat, his breathing ragged and hot against his skin. "Turn over," he growled, his voice hoarse and demanding.

As 001 turned onto his stomach, Gi-hun wrapped his arms around his waist and pulled him back onto his lap, his legs draped over his arms. He entered him again, deeper and harder than before, hitting a spot inside that made 001 cry out.

001's fingers clawed as Gi-hun pounded into him relentlessly, the angle hitting everything perfectly. Gi-hun leaned forward, his chest pressed against 001's back, one hand sneaking down to wrap around his hardening length. "Tell me,"

he whispered huskily, "who owns this cock? Who makes you scream like this every fucking time?" His hips slammed forward, punctuating his words with deep thrusts as his hand stroked 001 ruthlessly. "Tell me it's me. Tell me you're mine."

001's entire body arched back, lost in sheer pleasure and surrender. "M-mine..." he whimpered, then immediately corrected himself. "Yours! Only yours, only yours!" His eyes rolled back as Gi-hun's thickness drove deep inside him again and again.

*Gi-hun groaned at the shameless admission, a shudder of dark satisfaction running through him. He sped up his thrusts, angling just right to make 001 sob with ecstasy. "That's right. All. Fucking. Mine." *

001 could only whimper and sob in agreement, completely lost in the storm of pleasure and surrender. Gi-hun gripped his jaw and turned his head, capturing his mouth in a filthy kiss that tasted of desperate need and primal Claim. "Touch yourself," he ordered harshly.

001's shaking hand slid down his stomach to wrap around his own length, stroking slowly as Gi-hun continued to thrust into him brutally. "Faster," Gi-hun growled, his voice dripping with possessiveness.

With a shuddering moan, 001 quickened his pace, stroking himself in time with Gi-hun's relentless thrusts. The dual assault on his senses pushed him rapidly toward the edge, his entire body tensing and quivering. "Ahhh... I-I'm... gonna..."

"Who's making you come?" Gi-hun's grip tightened on his jaw, angle it so their eyes met in the mirror reflection. His thrusts became harder, more powerful, completely consuming. "Answer me." He snapped his hips forward, pegging 001's prostate perfectly.

001's back arched impossibly further, his body convulsing as he finally broke, his release spilling over his fingers and stomach. "You! Only you! You make me come!" He sobbed out, his body boneless and spent. "Say it again,"

Gi-hun collapsed on top of him, shuddering through his own climax, his lips brushing against 001's ear. "Mine. All fucking mine." After several long moments, he slowly pushed himself up, staring intensely into 001's reflection. "And I'm yours."

*He wiped the sweat and tears from 001's face, his fingers gently tracing the possessive mark he'd left on his neck during their heated encounter. "Say 'we're married'. Say it," *He ordered softly, his voice laced with a strange vulnerability.

"We're married," 001 whispered obediently, a faint blush coloring his cheeks despite his exhaustion. Gi-hun's lips curled into a rare, genuine smile at the words, satisfaction etched deeply into his expression. He leaned in, pressing a surprisingly tender kiss to 001's temple.

"Mine," Gi-hun murmured against his skin, affection blending eerily with his usual domineering tone. He pulled back slightly, his dark eyes scanning 001's face as if confirming the unbreakable bond forged between them, both in passion and promise.

With gentle fingers, he traced the mark on 001's neck once more "Never forget who you belong to." His voice was soft but carried an unmistakable possessive edge. Then, to 001's surprise, he pressed a tender kiss to the mark

"And I belong to you," *Gi-hun added quietly, his expression unreadable. *It was as close to a confession of love as 001 had ever heard from him. He settled down beside 001, pulling him close and wrapping powerful arms around him possessively.

As the euphoria faded, reality came crashing back. Gi-hun lay beside 001, their bodies slick with sweat, their breaths still uneven. His mind swirled with everything that had just happened.

"We can't keep doing this," he whispered.

"But we will," 001 replied, turning to face him. His fingers traced lazy patterns on Gi-hun's arm. "Because we both know what happens next."

Gi-hun stiffened. The final games were approaching. Soon, they'd be forced to fight for their lives.

"What happens when we have to choose between each other?" Gi-hun asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

001 didn't answer immediately. Instead, he cupped Gi-hun's face, his touch surprisingly gentle.

"Let's not think about that yet," he said. "Not tonight."

But the truth lingered in the air between them.

Only one of them could make it out alive.

And for the first time, Gi-hun realized-he wasn't sure if he wanted to survive without the man lying beside him.
