Chapter 21

The now familiar feeling of Kagome beside him pressed skin to skin was a welcoming feeling as Sesshomaru opened his eyes. His body felt relaxed and he was content to stay where he was until his eyes opened and the events from the night before rushed into his mind. Glancing around he found that the sun had yet to rise and that they were still in the garden. The table had been cleared and fresh robes lay on the cushions next to them. His senses were on overload as he inhaled the scent of Kagome and the light musky scent of sex.

'Oh Kami...I- I broke my promise...' he thought as he felt an unfamiliar feeling of worry. Would Kagome be upset? True she had provoked him but could that be considered consent? Or had he... He closed his eyes forcing the thought away. No matter the situation he would not force himself on Kagome. It bothered him though that he could not remember past a certain point. He'd never had a memory lapse while his baser self was in control before. A sudden thought occurred to him and he inhaled deeper searching for the tale tale sign of injury on his miko. He didn't see any injury but that meant little.

Kagome could feel the uncertainty that was coming from Sesshomaru in waves and struggled to keep her breathing even as to appear that she was still sleeping. Regret was the one thing she never wanted to see in his brilliant blazing topaz eyes. Oh how she prayed that it wasn't there now, but she could not lie to herself. She had a pretty good idea of how his beautiful face would be twisted in a look of utter disgust as he realized that they'd slept together.

Did he think that she was a shameless woman for giving herself to him so easily even after she'd told him she wanted to take it slowly? Her heart hurt as she willed herself not to cry. Any moment now she would feel him pull away to dress and it would be all over. He'd tell her with his silence that he regretted the whole thing and she would struggle not to cry as he walked away from her with his mask of indifference on his face once again.

Kagome felt Sesshomaru shift next to her but he didn't get up and he didn't push her away. No, instead he pulled her closer. Kagome's eyes shot open in shock. His topaz eyes searched hers as he looked down at her as he leaned his head on his palm. “I'm sorry Kagome.” he whispered softly. Kagome's eyes filled with tears. Sesshomaru's eyes widened in a rare display of concern as he searched her bare body that he could see for injury again. “Did I hurt you?” he asked with a puzzled frown as he found no injuries. Kagome mutely shook her head. Reacting before he thought about it he licked the tear that had fallen from her cheek.

Kagome touched her cheek lightly with her fingertips in disbelief and wonder. Sesshomaru sighed as she softly giggled. The way she had felt when he realized that she was awake had scared him though he would never say so. Because of that hearing her giggle was the sweetest sound he'd ever heard. He nuzzled his cheek on the top of her head hiding his slight smile of relief. Kagome wrapped her arms around his chest and placed a chaste kiss on his throat.

Never in his wildest dreams had he thought he of all beings would react in such a way to an innocent kiss from Kagome, but before either of them could blink he had her pinned beneath him and had sealed his lips to hers in a heated kiss. Inside he was again fighting for dominance over his baser self.

Triumphantly he locked his baser mind away as he conscientiously allowed his hands to wander over her bare flesh and down to the apex of her thighs where he paused. Pulling his lips away he stared in to her eyes as he spoke. “I lost control last night and you were not given the option to stop if you did not wish for things to happen between us. It was not my intention then nor is it now to force anything on you. If you do not want this to happen it won't.” he assured as he watched her carefully. Kagome shuddered under him as she arched her back to press herself closer to him. As his arousal brushed her lower lips she gasped, “you... didn't... force me.” She repeated the motion and moaned when he growled softly. His hand twitched as he used his thumb to brush her pearl sending shudders through her again.


Kagome threw her head back as he alternated between rubbing small quick circles and flicking her sensitive nub letting his instinct guide him. When she began to quiver against him he settled himself between her thighs and in a gentle but swift movement sheathed himself in side of her tight wet core. Sesshomaru closed his eyes as he hissed in pleasure from both of the sensations he felt through the bond. Kagome nearly sobbed in pure bliss as he slowly began to move inside of her. The sensations were just as intense as they had been the night before as everything was heightened by the bond.


Sesshomaru could not ever remember feeling any feeling that even came close to the feeling of being one with Kagome. As he thrust slowly gradually increasing his speed he ceased thoughts and let himself just feel. Kagome's moans and cries sounded like music in his ears though he was only vaguely aware of her voice at all. A sensation was building within him and an ache began as well as he pounded into her with as much wild abandon as he dared. Her hands were raking down his back as she screamed out his name her inner walls gripped him like a vice and he threw his own head back as something within him shattered and he came with a roar of conquest.

His strength momentarily gone Sesshomaru collapsed beside her after he carefully slid himself from her. “Oh, kami.” he muttered under his breath. Kagome was still trembling slightly as she struggled to regain her breath. “Oh, kami, Sesshomaru. That was so...” she swallowed as he nuzzled her tiredly. There were no words to describe the feelings and sensations he'd evoked with in her. The night before he'd taken her from behind as she had expected of his kind. It too had been mind blowing but the echo of feelings hadn't been as clear with his baser mind. She recalled too that he'd bitten her hip as she'd climaxed the last time before he'd taken her, something that he hadn't done this time. Thoughtfully Kagome wondered if she should ask Sesshomaru about it...
