Dominiance

Several days passed and Auko was slowly overcoming her untamed demon. She made sure her timing was right and would back off whenever he would start to get control. Sometimes she’d pay him ‘visits’ while he was working. Other times she would be seductive while they were alone but would still deny him. Whether or not he noticed, Auko was getting closer and closer to what she really wanted.

Finally, it happened. The night had been a passionate one and when they finished, Auko was on top. Sesshomaru had guided her by placing his hands on her hips, but overall, Auko had done most of the work. Now they just sat there, looking at each other, tension growing.

Auko broke the silence, “Stop looking at me like that. I know you enjoyed it.”

Sesshomaru didn’t reply at first. He wasn’t just upset about giving in, but calling out her NAME during his orgasm. How could she do that to him and how could he let her?!

Auko bucked her hips causing Sesshomaru to grip her hips harder and direct his focus to where they were connected. “I’ll make scream again if you don’t stop,” Auko warned grinding against him.

“Get off me…” the silver haired demon growled. Auko did as told and held the blankets to her chest to cover her naked body.

“If you didn’t like it you should have said something. I would’ve stopped.” Auko turned her head to look at something else.

“I never said I didn’t like it.” Sesshomaru’s voice hinted that he was agitated.

n whn why are you acting like this?”

“Like what?”

“Like an ass.”

“I’m not being an ass.”

“Then what would you call it?”

“I’m not being anything. Just go to bed.”

“Fine.” Auko put out the candles and laid down several inches away from Sesshomaru, with her back facing him. Sesshomaru put his hands behind his head and stared up at the ceiling.

Over and over again he cursed himself for giving in, but that thing she did with her hips…it had felt REALLY good. He couldn’t remember what she had said exactly to persuade him to roll over and let her be on top and be the dominant one. What was even worst was that he knew she’d try something like this. Did she honestly think he hadn’t seen the clues she’d been giving the past week.

Sesshomaru sat there for the good part of an hour, thinking about what just happened. He was distracted when Auko stirred and then gave a soft sigh…an obvious clue she hadn’t been sleeping. The demon turned to face her and grabbed her arm to turn her to him as well. The look on her face confirmed she was a little pissed.

“What?” Auko asked getting cranky.

“I did enjoy the sex.” Auko raised a curious eyebrow, not sure if he really meant it. Sesshomaru continued, “I just didn’t like the effect it had on me.”

Auko’s expression softened into a smirk. “What you’re trying to say is that you didn’t like the fact that I was on top and that you called out my name.”

Sesshomaru felt his cheeks become slightly flushed but hurriedly shook it off. He nodded, to erassrassed to really say anything. Auko scooted close to him and taking his face in her hands, kissed him.

“I swear I won’t say anything or act like you aren’t the dominant one in this relationship. It can be our secret…out guilty pleasure even.”

Sesshomaru lithe the sound of that. “Alright,” he agreed. Auko crawled into his embracead tad that their dispute had ended quickly.

“Auko,” Sesshomaru whispered.

“Hm?”

“This doesn’t mean you can stop ‘visiting’ me during the middle of the day. I’ll still expect you to come every now and then.”

“As often as you like Sesshomaru.”

**********************************************

A couple days later, Sesshomaru informed Auko about the event soon to occur. Auko had known for a while that Sesshomaru would be going to war with the Black dogs, who were trying to take over the Western lands. But within the next couple of days, his generals would be arriving for them to discuss their plans of action. Sesshomaru requested that she act more ‘proper’, doing his best not to offend her. Thankfully, Auko merely laughed and joked about her tomboyish behavior, quickly agreeing to his demand.

Before leaving, Auko asked for permission to travel to a village to retrieve some of her belongings that she hadn’t brought to the palace. She’d been meaning to do it for some time now, but kept forgetting. Sesshomaru let her go.

Auko returned just before sunset, Tork following at her heels. She carried a somewhat large bag, full of all the belongings she had. Auko never really did have a lot, only what she needed. Whenever the use of something was gone, she got rid of it. The less stuff, the easier it was to travel.

Auko took the bag to her room and began to empty its contents. Her few items were sprawled out on the bed: clothes, money, jewelry, a hairbrush, accessories, a few books, and stationary. Just as Auko was double-checking to make sure everything was there, Sesshomaru strode in. He looked at the items sprawled on the bed.

“This is all you brought?” he asked.

“Yep. It’s all I had.”

“Hn. You’ve obviously never lived the life of royalty.”

“No, but I’ve never been poor either.”

“Then why so little. I thought surely you would have comeback with bag-fulls.”

“It’s hard to travel with so much stuff. I take only what I need and get rid of the rest.”

Sesshomaru smirked. He’d always known Auko was different from other humans. Not just because of what she possessed, but her way of thinking and personality as well.

Something on the bed caught the demons eye. He went over and picked up an outfit. It was black as night and bared the symbol of death. Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow at Auko.

Auko grabbed the outfit from Sesshomaru’s grasp. “It’s my best and favorite fighting clothes. I use to wear it when in big battles or when I did night jobs.”

“I did not mean to raise suspicion, merely curious,” Sesshomaru informed. “I did come to tell you that dinner is ready so hurry up and put these things away.”

Auko smiled and started to put away her things as Sesshomaru departed.
