Chapter 19
Paths to the Heart
Featuring "Untitled", a poem written and recited by Davey Havok of AFI.
The Western Lady felt the eyes burn into her as her companions considered the Western Lord's words. Sango stepped forward, a genuine smile played on her lips. Her husband immediately joined her as they approached their friend.
"We understand that no one is perfect, Kagome. You have always been there for us despite our own faults." Sango said as she and monk embraced the stunned woman. "There is no possible way that we would abandon you now." Kagome felt as if her heart had stopped when Sango's words hit her; she returned the hug with raw emotion.
"Sango and my obnoxious brother are right. I'm afraid you're stuck with us, Kagome." Inuyasha chimed in aloofly as Kikyo nodded in agreement.
"Dog-breath's got a point!" Kouga offered as Ellitari laughed openly, enjoying the chemistry between Inuyasha and the handsome demon beside her. He sent her another pearly smile; her knees began to give way as his eyes bore into her.
Kagome couldn't stop the bright smile that came to her face. The change in her expression seemed to brighten the room entirely. Sesshomaru gently took her hand in his, the demon's eyes shining with a new ray of hope. "˜She's not lost to me after all.' Giving a small smile just for her, he led her to the large dining table as servants brought food and drinks into the hall. The hall quickly filled with laughter and talk as the companions sat, the comfortable atmosphere restored to its former state.
Evening had come and the children had been sent to bathe and then to bed; Sango and Miroku retired early along with Inuyasha and Kikyo. The remaining adults felt an evening walk in the gardens would prove satisfactory. The couples chatted happily for a short time before splitting to visit various parts of the gardens on their own. Sesshomaru led Kagome to the area where Cherry Blossom trees and her favorite lilies grew. Kouga offered to give Ellitari a tour of the other gardens, eager for a reason to spend more time with the alluring demoness.
"May I ask you a question, Lady Ellitari?" Kouga's voice pitched slightly against his will, the woman's effect on his was astounding.
"Please! Call me Ellie, and yes you may." Ellie kept her eyes on the flowers as they walked. Fireflies danced in the purple haze of the darkening skies. The lanterns in the gardens flickered to life as sunlight finally made its exit.
"Why are you a snow leopard while your sister is not?" His eyes flew to her delicate, pale features. He could not help but admire the rare beauty that radiated from her.
"My great-grandmother was a snow leopard. For some reason her blood skipped my grandmother and mother, it came to me. Needless to say that the rest of the tribe found it strange, but my parents did not hold it against me. They were murdered and I always suspected my sister and her mate. The hunger for power and land can do terrible things to people, Lord Kouga." The demoness brought her eyes to his for a fleeting moment, but found she was unable to look away. The cobalt eyes that gazed back at her were filled with such intensity, she felt that she would drown in them.
"Why did you stay with them then?" Kouga noticed her shiver slightly from a cool breeze. Personally he found the night quite warm so he shrugged off his outer kimono and settle it around her. When in court, he made sure to at least dress appropriately so he had changed as soon as he had arrived at the Western Taiyoukai's estate. The Southern Lady jumped, her eyes flying wide in shock. Examining his kind face, she thanked him and held the robe close.
"Jutori knew that I suspected her. If I had fled then they would have hunted me to the ends of the living world. I simply stepped back and kept my mouth shut...waiting for the day to kill them both." Ellie sighed heavily, relief seemed to flood through her. "However, I believe that Lady Kagome has beaten me to that point!" A sad smile rose at the corners of her pink lips. Kouga was forced to tear his eyes away from them as she spoke his name. "Kouga...why did you save me?"
"In all honesty? I am not quite so sure of that myself. There was something about you that I could not ignore and the curious creature that I am, I had to investigate!" He smirked in satisfaction at the dainty blush that spread across her cheeks. "And how could I not be curious when faced with such a gentle, good-hearted lady such as you? Not to mention a beautiful one at that!" The blush was now rivaling the Western Lady's hair highlights.
"You're too much, Lord Kouga!" It was becoming increasingly difficult to meet his gaze. His scent and words were beginning to effects things much more serious than the shade of her cheeks.
"If you insist on me calling you Ellie then you must call me Kouga." Kouga's voice had become deeper, affection and desire underlining his words. The demoness shivered again...but not from a chill. Her strong reactions to him were somewhat frightening to her.
"Very well...Kouga." She smiled up at him, her eyes scanning his moonlit features from beneath her thick eyelashes. Her breathy voice had almost caused the arrogant prince to trip into a nearby pond.
The two continued to walk, lost in each other's company as the path drifted into the vast gatherings of Bleeding Hearts (a.n.: It's a flower.), roses, and fruit trees. They sat beneath an apple tree, talking and laughing as the peachy blossoms fell around them. Nothing seemed to exist beyond the roots of that tree as they reveled in each other.
*Sess & Kag*
Sesshomaru held his mate's hand firmly as they walked, enjoying the sights, smells, and sounds of the garden. The moon's reflection splintered into silver rings as a dragonfly dipped to the pond's surface. Kagome sat at the pond's edge, her eyes fixed on the vision of the lanterns and the brightly lit castle in the distance. She had not realized how grand the gardens were until they had arrived to their current position. Sesshomaru sat at her side, taking in the sight as well.
"It is so beautiful here." Kagome sighed the words; her eyes never left the castle.
"It can be." Sesshomaru lay back and stretched his long body out, folding his hands behind his head. He closed his eyes, focusing on the soothing sound of Kagome's beating heart. The pointed ears of the Inuyoukai twitched slightly as Kagome whispered into the perfumed air.
We held hands on the last night on earth.
Our mouths filled with dust, we kissed in the fields and under trees,
screaming like dogs, bleeding dark into the leaves.
It was empty on the edge of town but we knew everyone floated
along the bottom of the river.
So we walked through the waste where the road curved into the sea
and the shattered seasons lay,
and the bitter smell of burning was on you like a disease.
In our cancer of passion you said, "Death is a midnight runner."
A suddenly chill wind caught her hair, twisting it upon the grass. Sesshomaru sighed as he felt himself become lost in Kagome's voice.
The sky had come crashing down like the news of an intimate suicide.
We picked up the shards and formed them into shapes
of stars that wore like an antique wedding dress.
The echoes of the past broke the hearts of the unborn
as the ferris wheel silently slowed to a stop.
The few insects skittered away in hopes of a better pastime.
I kissed you at the apex of the maelstrom and asked
if you would accompany me in a quick fall,
but you made me realize that my ticket wasn't good for two.
I rode alone.
The Western Lady lay back, snuggling into Sesshomaru chest as one of his arms came around to hold her close. The verses continued to tumble from her lips as they lay beneath the stars.
You said, "The cinders are falling like snow."
There is poetry in despair, and we sang with unrivaled beauty,
bitter elegies of savagery and eloquence.
Of blue and grey.
Strange, we ran down desperate streets and carved our names in the flesh of the city.
The sun was stagnated somewhere beyond the rim of the horizon
and the darkness is a mystery of curves and lines.
Still, we lay under the emptiness and drifted slowly outward,
and somewhere in the wilderness we found salvation scratched
into the earth like a message.
"What was that? The words you just spoke." The lights of the night sky danced in the reflection of Sesshomaru's eyes.
"It's my favorite poem. I say it when I need to feel something familiar and need comfort." She snuggled against him once more before settling and letting him stroke her hair.
"What is it called? The words are so dark, yet they are not sad. There is beauty in them..." The poem echoed in his mind as he awaited her answer.
"There is no title for it, but I love it all the same." Kagome smiled against his solid chest. "I'm glad you like it." A silence fell between them as the chirping of crickets and the splashing of the pond sounded out around them. She giggled lightly as Sesshomaru glided his claws against her ribs. She sighed happily as Sesshomaru rolled over to straddle her, his eyes burning.
His heated, satin lips brushed against hers in a quiet need; his fangs nipping at her bottom lip. Kagome opened up to him and moaned deeply as his tongue brushed hers in greeting. A magenta-striped hand glided over the ivory skin of her firm thigh as they slowly gave in to each other.
*Kouga & Ellie*
Ellie's soft laughter danced on the breeze as Kouga finished another tale of the ongoing feud between himself and Inuyasha. The wolf demon closed the distance between them, sliding across the grass to sit directly beside her. The demoness shifted slightly, unsure of how to handle his presence. An awkward silence fell between the pair. The wind shifted slightly, and Kouga raised his head and sniffed at the air. A dark blush heated his cheeks as he groaned in defeat. The leopard demoness had just begun her heat cycle.
"˜I'm having a hard enough time here! Why do the Gods hate me so?' Kouga growled to himself as the teasing mixture of peppermint and peaches tickled his nose. The summer night suddenly became warmer than usual. The Southern Lady shifted again, feeling a little more anxious than usual.
"˜Oh no! Why did it have to start now?' She chewed on her bottom lip as she fought the rising tension of her body.
Rebellion had already begun to surface as the familiar ache pulsed at her center. "˜Damn, treacherous body!' The venomous thought echoed through her mind as she continued to fidget. Kouga noticed her sudden change in posture and knew she was battling herself. He grinned wolfishly as he tucked a stray lock of her hair behind her ear, lightly grazing the sensitive skin of her neck. The woman gasped lightly at the touch but couldn't hold back the purr that rose in her chest. Her hazy, topaz eyes flew to the wolf's, he own had turned a royal blue with lust.
"K-Kouga?" Her voice shook with what her body cried out for. The need was becoming almost too much to handle as it bordered on pain. The haze of her mind prevented her from checking the words that followed. "I've hardly known you more than a week, but I can't help but feel that I've known you for centuries. There is something about you that I have never encountered before." The prince's eyes widened at her words, he leaned in towards her as if in a trance.
"I feel the same way, Ellie. After I lost Kagome and Ayame, I thought that I would never encounter another woman that would enchant me the way you have. Is it so wrong that I can't stop thinking about you?" His face was inches from hers, his hot breath against her lips. Her pink tongue darted out to wet them as Kouga's heated gaze watched.
"But we've only just met! There's no possible way that-..." Ellie's weak argument was snuffed from existence as Kouga slammed his lips against hers. The perfumed aura surrounding her and her soft voice had been too much for him; he wasn't made of stone for kami's sake!
The startled gasp that escaped her gave him the perfect opportunity to drive his tongue into her hot cavern. Ellie's eyes flew wide at the sudden intrusion, but her body refused to fight back. Ignoring their mistress's direct orders, her arms flew around Kouga's neck and drew him closer to her. The demon was surprised by her willingness, and growled his approval as he pulled her onto his lap.
"˜She's so sweet! The rarest of wines...' Kouga groaned as the demoness's tongue battled his own; the heat surrounding them rising to new heights. Her claws tore the binding on his hair-tie, the dark waves fanning across his broad shoulders. Mentally kicking himself, he placed his hands on her cheeks and gently broke the kiss. The angel in his lap frown in confusion as a disappointed groan rose from her bruised lips.
"I'm so sorry! Please forgive my rash actions, Ellie! I didn't mean to force myself on you like that! It's just that I really do feel something for you and-..." Kouga was the one to be silenced as Ellie's lips descended on his in heated passion. Before he could register her actions, she broke away and took his face in her hands.
"Don't, Kouga. Can't we just forget about the formalities of our lives for once? From the first moment I saw you I knew you were different, and now that I know just how different you are...I'm not so sure I'm willing to give you up." The raw emotion in her voice sent waves of electricity and heat through his body.
"Are you sure this is what you want? If this continues...I will make you mine, Ellie. For now and forever..." Kouga asked gruffly, willing his inner youkai to calm itself. He smiled in joy as the flushed woman nodded.
"Please." Ellie whimpered as her eyes scanned his face, searching for any fleeting emotions.
Kouga smiled gently as he took her from his lap and slowly pushed her to lie on the soft grass. He spread out the robe he had given her from her form, using the material as a blanket. The demoness felt the coolness of the grass through both his robe and hers; her body trembled as Kouga gently kneed her thighs apart and settled between them. His nose tracing the contours of her jaw, throat, and collarbone as he took her scent in. Ellie jumped as his rough tongue ran along her throat and stroked the swell of her breast.
A flick of his wrist and the obi of Ellie's kimono fell in tattered shreds. A mew of desire fell from her lips as Kouga leaned back on his knees and removed his remaining upper robe. Breath hissed through clenched teeth as delicate hands traced the rising folds of his toned torso. "˜She's perfect.' He leaned down and covered her body with his own as her trailed open-mouthed kissed across her chest. Ellie moaned softly as his lips only increased the ache she felt; her hips bucked softly against him in response to his caresses.
"Impatient kitten..." Kouga reprimanded as he chuckled deeply, sliding a hand beneath the folds of her kimono to gently squeeze a creamy breast. The scent of her arousal spiked considerably as the pad of his thumb rubbed against the budding nipple.
"Kouga..." Ellie whispered, barely able to keep a coherent thought with his teasing lips and hands. Her hands tangled in his hair as his tongue flicked against the tip of the other hardened peak.
Kouga wrapped his other arm around the arching woman's waist to keep her somewhat contained. An evil smirk rose to his lips as his hold on her slim waist tightened. With a quick sweep, Kouga lifted Ellie from the ground and held her to his chest; he winced slightly at the yelp of surprise that erupted from the demoness. Using his other hand, he slid the kimono from her smooth shoulders and onto the ground, leaving the demoness open to his inspection. Stormy, blue eyes hungrily took in her every curve before lowering her to the grass once more.
"Beautiful." Kouga's searing lips were on her again, trailing wet kisses down her chest and stomach. A breeze cooled the skin where his lips lingered, sending chills down Ellie's spine. She gave a playful growl at his teasing antics.
"Evil wolf cub." Her voice was cracked, but she still managed to hold her tone. His teasing was beginning to aggravate her and this demoness was not one to be denied. The growl paid off as the caress of Kouga's tongue swept across her inner thigh.
The leopard arched her back as pleasure rippled through her. The scent of Ellie's hot core tempted him to no end. Caving in to his roaring youkai, he promptly thrust his tongue into her wet folds. The writhing goddess beneath him shrieked in ecstasy as he lapped and nipped at the tender flesh. Ellie clawed at his shoulders and scalp as he mercilessly plunged into her, tasting her excitement. Whimpers and stifled moans echoed in the back of her throat. Kouga growled lowly when he noticed the lack of noise on her part. Abandoning his current task, he brought himself up to brush his lips against her ear.
"Don't you dare hold back on me, kitten." He nipped at her earlobe as the hissed words tickled her neck. "Scream for me..."
"But I - ..." A loud moan tore from her as her lover's tongue thrust into her once more. The tightening in her stomach twisted and burned as he flicked the bundle of nerves at her center. Kouga's hands glided over Ellie's heaving, glistening chest, gently pinching the hardened nipples.
"Oh Kami!" Ellie threw back her head as the walls of her world came crashing down around her. "KOUGA!!!" The pale hips bucked and trembled as the wolf greedily lapped at her walls.
"That's my girl..." He licked his lips hungrily before catching the panting woman in a passionate kiss. The remainder of his clothes was quickly taken care of and he soon rested between Ellie's long, slender legs once more. He kissed the shell of her pointed ear, whispering encouragement as the tip of his shaft teased her entrance. "Are you ready, Ellie?"
"Yes...I want all of you, Kouga." Her claws fell from his neck and grasped the ground in earnest as he kissed her neck and brought his hands to her hips. Raising them slightly, Kouga gazed into her eyes with love and passion as he drove into her.
Ellie felt the flesh tear; burning tears fell from her wide eyes as the pain throbbed throughout her body. Kouga froze and gave her time to adapt to him. He grinned with pride to know that he was her first. "˜And hopefully her last...' The thought brought new fire to his blood. The woman beneath him moved against him, signaling her eagerness to continue. The wolf demon moaned in carnal delight as he began to drive in and out of her tight heat; her hips moving to match his steady pace.
"Please, Kouga.......faster!" Ellie panted. Her sweat-ridden prince easily complied, his member pounding into her small frame. The familiar tightness grew as moans rose against the sound of sliding skin.
"How bad do you want this, kitten? Tell me!" Kouga's words shook with his growls.
"I-I....I want..." His frantic pace and heat made the task of speaking more than just difficult. She fought for the words to surface. "I want this...I want you!!" Kouga growled possessively as he felt his release approach. Her scream of delight echoed through the field as her second orgasm took her; his name on her lips as lights exploded all around her.
"You are MINE!!!" Kouga roared as he sank his fangs into her shoulder, his hot seed coated her tunnel walls. White-hot waves of pleasure spiked through his spine as he came. Descending back to earth, he collapsed on his side to be sure not to crush his new mate.
"Oh my..." The demoness whispered dreamily as she pulled her discarded kimono over her nude form, nuzzling the panting demon's neck. A grunt of a laugh rose from the male as he held her to him.
"Damn, woman...innocent my ass! No woman has ever lit my blood on fire like that before!" Kouga grinned as Ellie blushed. She snuggled into him, letting her drooping eyes finally close in sleep. He noticed the steady rise and fall of her chest; gathering the slumbering angel in his arms, he quickly relocated them to the bedchamber that he had been given for his stay. There they spent the remainder of the night in each other's arms.

Chapter 19
Paths to the Heart
Featuring "Untitled", a poem written and recited by Davey Havok of AFI.
The Western Lady felt the eyes burn into her as her companions considered the Western Lord's words. Sango stepped forward, a genuine smile played on her lips. Her husband immediately joined her as they approached their friend.
"We understand that no one is perfect, Kagome. You have always been there for us despite our own faults." Sango said as she and monk embraced the stunned woman.

"Sango and my obnoxious brother are right. I'm afraid you're stuck with us, Kagome." Inuyasha chimed in aloofly as Kikyo nodded in agreement.
"Dog-breath's got a point!" Kouga offered as Ellitari laughed openly, enjoying the chemistry between Inuyasha and the handsome demon beside her. He sent her another pearly smile; her knees began to give way as his eyes bore into her.
Kagome couldn't stop the bright smile that came to her face. The change in her expression seemed to brighten the room entirely. Sesshomaru gently took her hand in his, the demon's eyes shining with a new ray of hope. "˜She's not lost to me after all.' Giving a small smile just for her, he led her to the large dining table as servants brought food and drinks into the hall. The hall quickly filled with laughter and talk as the companions sat, the comfortable atmosphere restored to its former state.
Evening had come and the children had been sent to bathe and then to bed; Sango and Miroku retired early along with Inuyasha and Kikyo.

"May I ask you a question, Lady Ellitari?" Kouga's voice pitched slightly against his will, the woman's effect on his was astounding.
"Please! Call me Ellie, and yes you may." Ellie kept her eyes on the flowers as they walked. Fireflies danced in the purple haze of the darkening skies. The lanterns in the gardens flickered to life as sunlight finally made its exit.
"Why are you a snow leopard while your sister is not?" His eyes flew to her delicate, pale features. He could not help but admire the rare beauty that radiated from her.
"My great-grandmother was a snow leopard. For some reason her blood skipped my grandmother and mother, it came to me. Needless to say that the rest of the tribe found it strange, but my parents did not hold it against me. They were murdered and I always suspected my sister and her mate.

"Very well...Kouga." She smiled up at him, her eyes scanning his moonlit features from beneath her thick eyelashes. Her breathy voice had almost caused the arrogant prince to trip into a nearby pond.
The two continued to walk, lost in each other's company as the path drifted into the vast gatherings of Bleeding Hearts (a.n.: It's a flower.), roses, and fruit trees. They sat beneath an apple tree, talking and laughing as the peachy blossoms fell around them. Nothing seemed to exist beyond the roots of that tree as they reveled in each other.
*Sess & Kag*
Sesshomaru held his mate's hand firmly as they walked, enjoying the sights, smells, and sounds of the garden. The moon's reflection splintered into silver rings as a dragonfly dipped to the pond's surface. Kagome sat at the pond's edge, her eyes fixed on the vision of the lanterns and the brightly lit castle in the distance. She had not realized how grand the gardens were until they had arrived to their current position. Sesshomaru sat at her side, taking in the sight as well.
"It is so beautiful here." Kagome sighed the words; her eyes never left the castle.
"It can be." Sesshomaru lay back and stretched his long body out, folding his hands behind his head. He closed his eyes, focusing on the soothing sound of Kagome's beating heart. The pointed ears of the Inuyoukai twitched slightly as Kagome whispered into the perfumed air.
We held hands on the last night on earth.
Our mouths filled with dust, we kissed in the fields and under trees,
screaming like dogs, bleeding dark into the leaves.
It was empty on the edge of town but we knew everyone floated

A suddenly chill wind caught her hair, twisting it upon the grass. Sesshomaru sighed as he felt himself become lost in Kagome's voice.
The sky had come crashing down like the news of an intimate suicide.
We picked up the shards and formed them into shapes
of stars that wore like an antique wedding dress.
The echoes of the past broke the hearts of the unborn
as the ferris wheel silently slowed to a stop.
The few insects skittered away in hopes of a better pastime.
I kissed you at the apex of the maelstrom and asked

I rode alone.
The Western Lady lay back, snuggling into Sesshomaru chest as one of his arms came around to hold her close. The verses continued to tumble from her lips as they lay beneath the stars.
You said, "The cinders are falling like snow."
There is poetry in despair, and we sang with unrivaled beauty,

She sighed happily as Sesshomaru rolled over to straddle her, his eyes burning.
His heated, satin lips brushed against hers in a quiet need; his fangs nipping at her bottom lip. Kagome opened up to him and moaned deeply as his tongue brushed hers in greeting. A magenta-striped hand glided over the ivory skin of her firm thigh as they slowly gave in to each other.
*Kouga & Ellie*
Ellie's soft laughter danced on the breeze as Kouga finished another tale of the ongoing feud between himself and Inuyasha. The wolf demon closed the distance between them, sliding across the grass to sit directly beside her. The demoness shifted slightly, unsure of how to handle his presence. An awkward silence fell between the pair. The wind shifted slightly, and Kouga raised his head and sniffed at the air. A dark blush heated his cheeks as he groaned in defeat. The leopard demoness had just begun her heat cycle.
"˜I'm having a hard enough time here! Why do the Gods hate me so?' Kouga growled to himself as the teasing mixture of peppermint and peaches tickled his nose. The summer night suddenly became warmer than usual. The Southern Lady shifted again, feeling a little more anxious than usual.
"˜Oh no! Why did it have to start now?' She chewed on her bottom lip as she fought the rising tension of her body.
Rebellion had already begun to surface as the familiar ache pulsed at her center. "˜Damn, treacherous body!' The venomous thought echoed through her mind as she continued to fidget. Kouga noticed her sudden change in posture and knew she was battling herself. He grinned wolfishly as he tucked a stray lock of her hair behind her ear, lightly grazing the sensitive skin of her neck. The woman gasped lightly at the touch but couldn't hold back the purr that rose in her chest. Her hazy, topaz eyes flew to the wolf's, he own had turned a royal blue with lust.
"K-Kouga?" Her voice shook with what her body cried out for. The need was becoming almost too much to handle as it bordered on pain. The haze of her mind prevented her from checking the words that followed. "I've hardly known you more than a week, but I can't help but feel that I've known you for centuries. There is something about you that I have never encountered before." The prince's eyes widened at her words, he leaned in towards her as if in a trance.
"I feel the same way, Ellie. After I lost Kagome and Ayame, I thought that I would never encounter another woman that would enchant me the way you have. Is it so wrong that I can't stop thinking about you?" His face was inches from hers, his hot breath against her lips. Her pink tongue darted out to wet them as Kouga's heated gaze watched.
"But we've only just met! There's no possible way that-..." Ellie's weak argument was snuffed from existence as Kouga slammed his lips against hers. The perfumed aura surrounding her and her soft voice had been too much for him; he wasn't made of stone for kami's sake!
The startled gasp that escaped her gave him the perfect opportunity to drive his tongue into her hot cavern. Ellie's eyes flew wide at the sudden intrusion, but her body refused to fight back. Ignoring their mistress's direct orders, her arms flew around Kouga's neck and drew him closer to her. The demon was surprised by her willingness, and growled his approval as he pulled her onto his lap.
"˜She's so sweet! The rarest of wines...' Kouga groaned as the demoness's tongue battled his own; the heat surrounding them rising to new heights. Her claws tore the binding on his hair-tie, the dark waves fanning across his broad shoulders. Mentally kicking himself, he placed his hands on her cheeks and gently broke the kiss. The angel in his lap frown in confusion as a disappointed groan rose from her bruised lips.
"I'm so sorry! Please forgive my rash actions, Ellie! I didn't mean to force myself on you like that! It's just that I really do feel something for you and-..." Kouga was the one to be silenced as Ellie's lips descended on his in heated passion. Before he could register her actions, she broke away and took his face in her hands.
"Don't, Kouga. Can't we just forget about the formalities of our lives for once? From the first moment I saw you I knew you were different, and now that I know just how different you are...I'm not so sure I'm willing to give you up." The raw emotion in her voice sent waves of electricity and heat through his body.
"Are you sure this is what you want? If this continues...I will make you mine, Ellie. For now and forever..." Kouga asked gruffly, willing his inner youkai to calm itself. He smiled in joy as the flushed woman nodded.
"Please." Ellie whimpered as her eyes scanned his face, searching for any fleeting emotions.
Kouga smiled gently as he took her from his lap and slowly pushed her to lie on the soft grass. He spread out the robe he had given her from her form, using the material as a blanket. The demoness felt the coolness of the grass through both his robe and hers; her body trembled as Kouga gently kneed her thighs apart and settled between them. His nose tracing the contours of her jaw, throat, and collarbone as he took her scent in. Ellie jumped as his rough tongue ran along her throat and stroked the swell of her breast.
A flick of his wrist and the obi of Ellie's kimono fell in tattered shreds. A mew of desire fell from her lips as Kouga leaned back on his knees and removed his remaining upper robe. Breath hissed through clenched teeth as delicate hands traced the rising folds of his toned torso. "˜She's perfect.' He leaned down and covered her body with his own as her trailed open-mouthed kissed across her chest. Ellie moaned softly as his lips only increased the ache she felt; her hips bucked softly against him in response to his caresses.
"Impatient kitten..." Kouga reprimanded as he chuckled deeply, sliding a hand beneath the folds of her kimono to gently squeeze a creamy breast. The scent of her arousal spiked considerably as the pad of his thumb rubbed against the budding nipple.
"Kouga..." Ellie whispered, barely able to keep a coherent thought with his teasing lips and hands. Her hands tangled in his hair as his tongue flicked against the tip of the other hardened peak.
Kouga wrapped his other arm around the arching woman's waist to keep her somewhat contained. An evil smirk rose to his lips as his hold on her slim waist tightened. With a quick sweep, Kouga lifted Ellie from the ground and held her to his chest; he winced slightly at the yelp of surprise that erupted from the demoness. Using his other hand, he slid the kimono from her smooth shoulders and onto the ground, leaving the demoness open to his inspection. Stormy, blue eyes hungrily took in her every curve before lowering her to the grass once more.
"Beautiful." Kouga's searing lips were on her again, trailing wet kisses down her chest and stomach. A breeze cooled the skin where his lips lingered, sending chills down Ellie's spine. She gave a playful growl at his teasing antics.
"Evil wolf cub." Her voice was cracked, but she still managed to hold her tone. His teasing was beginning to aggravate her and this demoness was not one to be denied. The growl paid off as the caress of Kouga's tongue swept across her inner thigh.
The leopard arched her back as pleasure rippled through her. The scent of Ellie's hot core tempted him to no end. Caving in to his roaring youkai, he promptly thrust his tongue into her wet folds. The writhing goddess beneath him shrieked in ecstasy as he lapped and nipped at the tender flesh. Ellie clawed at his shoulders and scalp as he mercilessly plunged into her, tasting her excitement. Whimpers and stifled moans echoed in the back of her throat. Kouga growled lowly when he noticed the lack of noise on her part. Abandoning his current task, he brought himself up to brush his lips against her ear.
"Don't you dare hold back on me, kitten." He nipped at her earlobe as the hissed words tickled her neck. "Scream for me..."
"But I - ..." A loud moan tore from her as her lover's tongue thrust into her once more. The tightening in her stomach twisted and burned as he flicked the bundle of nerves at her center. Kouga's hands glided over Ellie's heaving, glistening chest, gently pinching the hardened nipples.
"Oh Kami!" Ellie threw back her head as the walls of her world came crashing down around her. "KOUGA!!!" The pale hips bucked and trembled as the wolf greedily lapped at her walls.
"That's my girl..." He licked his lips hungrily before catching the panting woman in a passionate kiss. The remainder of his clothes was quickly taken care of and he soon rested between Ellie's long, slender legs once more. He kissed the shell of her pointed ear, whispering encouragement as the tip of his shaft teased her entrance. "Are you ready, Ellie?"
"Yes...I want all of you, Kouga." Her claws fell from his neck and grasped the ground in earnest as he kissed her neck and brought his hands to her hips. Raising them slightly, Kouga gazed into her eyes with love and passion as he drove into her.
Ellie felt the flesh tear; burning tears fell from her wide eyes as the pain throbbed throughout her body. Kouga froze and gave her time to adapt to him. He grinned with pride to know that he was her first. "˜And hopefully her last...' The thought brought new fire to his blood. The woman beneath him moved against him, signaling her eagerness to continue. The wolf demon moaned in carnal delight as he began to drive in and out of her tight heat; her hips moving to match his steady pace.
"Please, Kouga.......faster!" Ellie panted. Her sweat-ridden prince easily complied, his member pounding into her small frame. The familiar tightness grew as moans rose against the sound of sliding skin.
"How bad do you want this, kitten? Tell me!" Kouga's words shook with his growls.
"I-I....I want..." His frantic pace and heat made the task of speaking more than just difficult. She fought for the words to surface. "I want this...I want you!!" Kouga growled possessively as he felt his release approach. Her scream of delight echoed through the field as her second orgasm took her; his name on her lips as lights exploded all around her.
"You are MINE!!!" Kouga roared as he sank his fangs into her shoulder, his hot seed coated her tunnel walls. White-hot waves of pleasure spiked through his spine as he came. Descending back to earth, he collapsed on his side to be sure not to crush his new mate.
"Oh my..." The demoness whispered dreamily as she pulled her discarded kimono over her nude form, nuzzling the panting demon's neck. A grunt of a laugh rose from the male as he held her to him.
"Damn, woman...innocent my ass! No woman has ever lit my blood on fire like that before!" Kouga grinned as Ellie blushed. She snuggled into him, letting her drooping eyes finally close in sleep. He noticed the steady rise and fall of her chest; gathering the slumbering angel in his arms, he quickly relocated them to the bedchamber that he had been given for his stay. There they spent the remainder of the night in each other's arms.
