Ever Us -- The Blessing; Keiko

Chap 3

That evening the inu lords ate in their private quarters.   Well, that’s what the servants told the advisors, anyway.

Inuyasha had passed on to one of the servants that he was feeling poorly.   The servant immediately sought out Lord Sesshomaru and he dropped the scrolls he was reading to rush to their room.  When he arrived in the room he saw a clothing divider hiding his mate from sight except for his feet which were bedazzled with some sort of coloring that sparkled.   Sesshomaru carefully shut the door and walked quietly toward the bed.   As he neared the divider and could see past it his eyes nearly popped out of his head.   Lying on the bed wearing incredibly skimpy, see through underwear was his mate, the supposedly “poor feeling” inuhanyou.    Sesshomaru drooled as he took in the atmosphere his mate had created in their chambers.  Candles and flower petals surrounded the minx in dog ears.

“I decided to go through a storage container today.  I found some fun things in a box.  I wanted to surprise you.   Are you surprised, Big Brother?!” A devilish smile danced playfully on the beautiful visage.

Sesshomaru claimed his mate with an enthusiastic kiss and then he held Inuyasha tight.

“Stop worrying me, Half-breed,” the royal whispered seductively in the puppy ear nearest his lips and then he smothered it in kissing and play bites.  “I have been accustomed to your presence in my bed and would hate to break in another.”

Breaking apart quickly and playfully slapping his brother for the comment, Inuyasha laughed.  He quipped back, “You’d be lucky to find another sap willing to stick himself to Your Royal Highness, My Lord.   Plus I was made to take a licking and keep on ticking, so there!”  The brash young hanyou stuck out his tongue at his lover.

“If you insist on sticking out that tongue I have a few places in mind for you to stick it.”

Incredibly turned on by that comment Inuyasha straddled Sesshomaru and started rubbing their penises together.  Moaning and groaning accompanied the movement and soon Inuyasha leaned forward to lick his mate.

Silk robes were pealed from the dog demon lord and thrown to the floor.  Sesshomaru caressed Inuyasha’s skin, suckling fingers, shoulders, and neck.  Manhandling his mate he flipped them over so Inuyasha was on the bottom and he stood to remove his own hakamas and fundoshi.  Seeing Inuyasha’s hard phallus through the mess fabric, Sesshomaru bent down to suckle it.   Shortly however he desired skin to skin contact and raised a nail to cut through the mess.

“Don’t ruin it.   It hasn’t been made yet and I can’t replace it.”

Sesshomaru sat back and stared as his mate.  “What is it with you and clothes?   Are you sentimentally attached to everything?  Yesterday you didn’t want me to hurt the fire rat.  Today you’re worried about this unique loin cloth.    

Sitting up and pulling out of Sesshomaru’s reach, Inuyasha snarled.  “Because they are mine!   Probably the only bloody thing here that belongs to me!  Everything else is yours or ours but these, these are mine!  And up until this second I wanted to share them with you.  But now I’m having second thoughts.   Inuyasha pulled his legs together and wrapped his arms around them effectively shutting off his body from Sesshomaru.

 The dog brothers sat quietly casting furtive glances at each other.   Each left along in their thoughts, trying to figure a way out of the argument they had gotten into.   Inuyasha was first to move.   He stood on the opposite side of the bed and quickly removed the underwear.   The hard-on he originally sported was all shrunk up and he considered just getting under the covers and turning his back on his brother.  Sesshomaru saw this and intercepted his mate with a warm palm over his heart.

“I guess we still have things to learn about each other.   Do you value any clothing I have given you, Mate?   You treasure the fire rat from Father and that loin cloth from Kagome, but do you value anything from this Sesshomaru?”

Inuyasha realized at that moment that his altogether big brother might actually need a little reassurance.  Smiling warmly he reached his palm out and placed it over his brother’s heart and felt the rapid rate of that organ. 

“Everything I have from you I treasure.   But mostly I treasure you!” Sesshomaru—Mate--Lover. Come here.”  He pulled Sesshomaru’s head to his chest.   “Do you hear that?  It’s my heart and it beats for you and you only.   Father’s fire rate and the see through undies are not as important as you.   You know I have forgiven you for my childhood but there are still some things I hang on to.”

“Like those clothes?”

“Like those clothes.”

The two snuggled a few more minutes and then Inuyasha spoke.

“Sesshomaru?”

“Hmm?”

“Can I ask you about yesterday?”

“I thought it was well covered at the meal,” Sesshomaru said as he looked up into Inuyasha’s round amber eyes.

“No I mean -- what’s with the knot, anyway? KNot that I mind,” the inuhanyou giggled, “once I was used to it but talk about intense....”

“I don’t know.  It’s not happened before.  I will have to look it up in Father’s library tomorrow.  Did you want to experiment and see if it’ll happen again?”  Sesshomaru looked hopeful.

Inuyasha’s heart filled with love as he looked at his mate.  Cheekily he replied, “Why knot!  I have been accustomed to your presence in my bed and would hate to break in another.”
