My Hearts Desires

There was a tense air in the dinning room. Jaken, Trinity, Rin and Sesshomaru sitting in there respected seats around large dinning table. Rin to Sesshomaru’s right. Trinity next Rin and Jaken to Sesshomaru’s left. Everyone ate in pretty much silence, all afraid to say anything that might have anything to with what they all knew what happen after the completion of the meal. Rin was so nervous, she could hardly eat anything. It looked and smelled so good, but her stomach was in so many knots that she wasn’t sure she would be able to keep anything down. She would occasionally steal a glance at Sesshomaru, but she would soon become embarrassed for doing so, because upon staring into his amber eyes she could see the glimmer of mischief that lied within. And with those looks her face would heat up intensely, and then she reverted her eyes back to her untouched meal. Trinity noticed that Rin wasn’t eating, knowing that that would be a mistake, she leaned over to her lady and whispered.

“Rin, you must try and eat something. You will need your strength tonight,”

Sesshomaru with his acute hearing over heard Trinity’s attempt to nourish his soon to be mate. He decided that he needed to assist her, he reached over to Rin’s plate and spooned up some rice and carefully fed it to her. Rin was surprised that he would dare to be so intimate in front of everyone. But the act was comforting, reminding her of their time together in temple. She relaxed a bit and graciously ate the offering, then gestured to Sesshomaru for her spoon back. But he stubbornly scooped up more and held the spoon just out of reach of her mouth as he leaned in closed to her ear.

“Trinity is right. You are going to need all your strength tonight. Will you be able to handle the rest on your own? Or will you be needing my assistance further?” In voice that was so smooth and sultry that it sent a shiver up and down Rin’s spine. She nodded her head and accepted the helping that was still in his hand. After he was content that she would eat, he gave her back her spoon. He was pleased with her reaction, as upon hearing his voice in her ear, her face turned as red as a tomato.

The meal came to a close; Trinity tapped Rin on the shoulder signaling her that it was time to depart and to ready her for the remainder of the evening. They left the table together and went to Rin’s quarters as Sesshomaru left to his. As he ventured his way back to his chamber, he mused over the evening that he had planned for him and his mate. He knew that the ritual would go off with out a hitch, and the rest would exceed all his expectations. But the mere thought of what was to come began to arouse him; he needed to keep in control of himself. If the night was to go as he planned.

As the pair entered Rin’s quarters, Trinity noticed a small bundle on the day bed that hadn’t been there before dinner. It contained a beautiful light dress, a flower and Rin’s sword.

“So it appears our lord has prepared for this evening long enough.” Trinity said with a smile. As she reached for the dress and held it in front of Rin and she said “Its time to dress you, my dear.” She put the dress on Rin it seemed to flow around her. It was lovely. ‘Lord Sesshomaru did have great taste’ she remarked to her self. She sat Rin down and gathered her hair and picked up the flower and placed it in her hair pinning it in her hair. She asked Rin to stand to check her out. She was a vision.

“It appears that the sword is important to tonight’s ritual. I think that you should take it with you to your sleeping quarters. I bid you goodnight, and remember that the intent is have him win. And may I be the first to say congratulations Lady Rin.” Trinity said with a sweet smile on her face as she bowed her way out her of Rin’s quarters.

Rin grabbed her sword off the day bed. She played with it for a moment; it had seemed like a forever since she held it in grasp. She thought with a smile, ‘how fitting, he wants to duel.’ She made a small walk around her quarters as if trying to keep one step in front of her nervousness. With one last deep breath she made her way toward Sesshomaru’s quarters. She walked across the hall and stared at the large doorway. She kept hearing Trinity’s last words in her head. “To let him win, to let him win” She was about to knock on the door, when she heard from within his deep sultry voice. “There is no need to knock; these are your quarters as of tonight my Rin.” She jumped a little not expecting him to know that she was there. She reached for the door and opened it slowly, there standing with his back to the entrance his long silver locks tied with a simple binding. He looked amazing even at that moment with his back to her. Sensing her nervousness and wanting to comfort her. He turned around and stared into her eyes, “Come closer, I want to see how lovely you look in the dress I got you.” She stepped forward coming only a few steps away from Sesshomaru. “As always, breathtaking.” He said, instantly causing Rin to blush. Sesshomaru filling the space between them and pulled her close and kissed her passionately. Rin gasped allowing him access to her mouth with his tongue. The kiss only ended to allow Rin to breath. Before Sesshomaru lost control of himself, he stepped away from Rin and made his way to the table where he grabbed his sword. “Let us take this to the garden.” He gestured for Rin to take his arm as they made there way out the out the back door that lead to the gardens that Rin could see from her champers. Rin still firmly grasping her sword and stared at Sesshomaru’s confirming her earlier assumption that they were to spar as part of their ritual.

Once in the pales of the moonlight, Rin stared at her lord and realized the manner of his dress. It was nothing like his usual attire. It was light loose black linen robe and pants, which made his wonderful silver hair look more vibrant. But also that it was allowing her to stare at his strong form.

“I’m sure that you have deduced what I have planned for us this evening. So when you are ready.” Unsheathing his sword and taking his stance. Rin nodded and did the same. Before taking her stance she took another deep breath, when she was confident that she was ready she nodded. Sesshomaru moved first trying to take the edge off. Rin reacted and went on the defense. Rin wasn’t sure how he was going to attack her. If he was truly testing to see if she would be a strong mate or if he was going to trip her up like he did when he played with her. She decided that she would go straight for the attack to see if he would strike or trip her. Knowing how much she hated being tripped up by him, she charged him with so much focus, watching his every movement. She came within striking distance, but Sesshomaru with his skill side stepped her attack and swung around clashing swords with Rin. Rin trying not to get distracted like, she always did when they sparred. He just moved so fluidly that sometimes it was like watching poetry in motion. Even with this simple move she was amazed at is speed and grace. But she snapped out of it, just as his sword came close to her midsection. She lowered her sword successfully blocking the attack. Sesshomaru smiled at her attentiveness. He decided to leap around her to attack her from behind, to change up the pace. Rin watched as Sesshomaru disappeared from in front of her. She quickly spun around to took guard, but he wasn’t directly behind her either. She moved a little more and saw him coming at her from the corner of her eye. She ducked and spun on her heels, jumped up and ran at him. But by the time that she started at him. He was already turned around smiling. Which she noticed right away, it was so rare to see him smile but he was freely doing it now. He noticed that she had stopped her attack and knew that his mate had finally gotten distracted, he wasn’t sure what it was that finally broke her concentration but glad that it had happened.

He took that moment to leap around her coming at her from behind, and leaned close to her ear as he dashed around his beauty. “My Rin, you’ve gotten distracted. I will take you now.” He said with a voice that sent shivers up and down her spine. She then became paralyzed, as Sesshomaru stopped moving and grabbed her waist and pulled her back flush against chest. As he stilled he could feel Rin breathing it was harsh and fast, he could her hear her pulse racing. He took that moment to let his lips grace over her neck. With that he felt her skin heat up and pulse go faster. She knew that she had gotten her self into a bad position. She just needed to something, a last chance to prove herself as equal. All she did was defend herself and managed to keep from falling down. She noticed that Sesshomaru’s grasp about her waist was not tight. He no doubt, thought that she would surrender to a simple embrace. So quickly she locked her ankle around his, pulled forward bringing his foot out from under him. She turned her quickly and placed her hands on his chest lightly pushing him. She fell on top of him, which was what she wanted, but also putting her in very bad position that she didn’t realize. Rin straddled her large demon love, breathing harshly. “So great powerful Lord Sesshomaru, I believe I’ve taken you down…” But before she was able to finish her thought with very little effort rolled over and now had her pinned. Rin struggled at first, realizing her mistake finally. Defeated she stopped struggling and looked up at the gorgeous creature above her.

“It appears my angel that is I that have you right where I want you. Yes you did bring me to the ground. Don’t look so defeated, you did well and have proven that you are the only living being that can put me through such a work out. I think that it is time for us to retire.” Getting up and gathering his prize in his arms and made his way back up to their quarters.
