A/N: Konnichiwa! Before we begin I just want to clue you all in on a few really great stories that I read recently. If you are looking for a good story, look no further.

Rise and Fall of a False God and Accidental Seduction, both by Darkhaven Raven. You will find them on FanFiction.net. Both are Sess/Kag stories and both are very good! Rise and Fall had me hooked. It is so creative and different than most all other fics. I couldn’t pull myself away! Thanks to Mrs Sesshy for the recommendation!

Eien Ni Nakunatta Shunkan: A Moment Lost Forever by WickedOni. This is a Rin/Sess fic found on Mediaminer.org. Now if you are like me, a hard core Kag/Sess fan, you may think to turn this one down, but let me tell ya, this is one great fic! Well written, exciting, romantic. One minute I was crying then laughing and then pissed off. What more could you ask for? Thanks to Shizuka Ishimaru for the recommendation!

A Question About Honor by KogasAngel. How could I not mention my favorite hentai authoress of all time? hehe! This is a new fic by one of our favorites, and I’ll admit that, once again, I’m hooked on KogasAngel! Her highlander boys are just plain sexy. You can find her story right here at A Single Spark

*Plus, I’m going to mention my other secret fic, Tortured Love, on AFF.net. Sess/Kag, of course. It is coming to an end, and I felt like I should mention it to you all. I hesitated for awhile, because, well, it’s REALLY darkly hentai. Thus the reason I didn’t post it here. So if you are underage or turned off by rape, bondage and all around naughty Naraku torture, please don’t bother reading it. If you can handle it, well, by all means, read it. It is guaranteed to leave you panting.

Chapter 30 – To Mate a Taiyoukai? Or Not?


“Aaahhhh”

Kagome smiled dreamily as she sunk down deep into the steamy water. ‘Now this was worth every ache and pain.’ She sighed peacefully. Sesshomaru was top dog in her book for hooking her up with this treat. All the troubles of her day began to drift away along with her aching muscles.

That is, until something smooth and slick, lean and hard, brushed up against her leg.

Her eyes flew open in panic. Kagome looked around frantically trying to spot something below the steamy water. “Uh... Sesshomaru!” She called out to her waiting companion. “Something’s in this water! She was slowly backing out of the pool when it happened again. “Eek!” She squeaked and jumped at the contact. She looked to the bank frantically, searching for Sesshomaru. ‘Where in the heck is that guy when you need him?’

Suddenly something slightly sensuous, but equally creepy, slithered up her thigh to lightly brush over her bare stomach. Goosebumps raised over the surface of her flesh. The sensation reminded her of the long stringy tendrils hanging from a jellyfish, but the expected sting of pain that follows didn’t occur. ‘Besides...,’ her panicking mind deduced, ‘jellyfish do not live in hot springs!’

Just when she was ready to forgo modesty and leap from the spring before she was eaten alive by some demon fish or something equally horrifying, two clawed hands grasped her hips firmly.

“IIIIIEEEEEE!!!!!” Kagome screamed!

Sesshomaru rose fluidly from below the waters depths with a mischievous twinkle in his shining golden eyes, though his face held no sign of his playful mood. Kagome could have cared less either way. He just scared the crap out of her! Immediately her hands flew out to push at his chest while simultaneously sinking herself deeper into the swirling pool. “Sesshomaru, you hentai! Just what do you think you are doing?!”

Sesshomaru allowed a smirk to grace his lips as he watched the horrified look flash over her features. Her pathetic attempt to push him away was quite amusing. “This Sesshomaru seeks to cleanse his person, just as you do.”

Kagome could hardly believe this was happening! He actually thought it was okay to be in here with her! “Well, you... you can’t!” She crossed her arms over her chest in a desperate attempt to guarantee that he didn’t get a free peep show. Who would have thought that the Great Lord Sesshomaru would be worse than Miroku the lecherous monk?!

“Why not?” Sesshomaru responded curiously. He knew very well that she was uncomfortable with his joining her in light of her current lack of attire, however, the fact only made the situation even more rewarding.

“Be... because... it’s indecent!” she stuttered. She looked away as a blush swept across her face, only to find herself captivated by his smooth broad chest. His pale skin, stretched taught over perfectly chiseled muscles, seemed to call to her hands, making them itch to reach out and touch him. Tiny rivulets of water trickled down his smooth skin, begging for her to trace their path with her fingers. He was male perfection at its finest. Not overly muscular, but lean and sexy. ‘Kami ! What am I thinking?!’ Kagome blinked to clear her mind and took a cautionary step away from the towering male.

His blood ran hot in his veins. It felt like the skin of his chest was burning from the caress of her hungry eyes. He was intrigued with her reaction. It was expected that she would shy away from his advances, but her body obviously sought to defy her mind. He stepped forward, slowly reaching out, palm up, gently attempting to coax the skittish creature into his arms.

He only wished to touch her soft skin.

Kagome looked at his elegant clawed hands, outstretched as if beckoning her to fall into them. She had to admit that it was tempting, but she just couldn’t throw caution to the wind and melt into this man’s arms. She was pregnant for Kami’s sake! With another man’s child, no less! Why he was even interested went beyond her anyway. This was Sesshomaru, Demon Lord of the West. Even his name was designed to worship his perfection. Why on Kami’s green Earth would he want her? He could have any beautiful female he desired!

She took a shy glance up, and found him studying her, waiting for her to make a move. His features were more pronounced, with his hair wet and slicked back on his head. The blue crescent moon on his forehead and the twin magenta stripes on his cheeks were stunning against his masculine lines. His pointed youkai ears were even more noticeable, and she wondered if he liked to have them touched?

Her hesitation prompted him to take another step toward her and the rocky edge of the deep pool blocked her further retreat. She gasped as his slick muscular thigh came into contact with her own. A wave of heat spread through her body that surpassed the steamy waters temperature.

His deep smooth voice drew her eyes to his. “Allow me to please you, Kagome.” The light from the flickering campfire cast a soft glow over his profile. By the Gods he was simply beautiful. How could she resist this man? Without hesitation he slowly traced his long slender fingers over her arm, slowly brushing her soft skin in an effort to calm her. “Why do you deny your attraction to this Sesshomaru?”

His question scalded her senses. What could she say? She couldn’t deny that she found him attractive, but did she care enough about him to sleep with him? “I... I am afraid.” Kagome replied in a frail voice. Her eyes were wide and frightened, much like a fawn staring at the fangs of a predator.

Afraid? Her answer only served to confuse him further. She was no longer a virgin, so what was she afraid of? Was she afraid that he, a youkai, would hurt her? That was most likely the reason, especially in her delicate condition. “Trust this Sesshomaru,” he whispered as he lowered himself to bury his face against the smooth skin of her neck.

Kagome wanted to trust him, but alarms in her head were sounding off, screaming that trusting a man was what landed her in this mess to begin with. She tried to reason, but his warm breath against her neck was so distracting. His body slipped against her own in the soothing waters, easily gliding erotically against her naked breasts. His long silky hair danced in the swirling waters, lightly teasing her flesh. The overload to her senses pushed a soft little moan from her lips.

A low vibrating growl erupted from deep within his chest and then his soft lips were lightly kissing and sucking at her neck, tracing a little path of nips and caresses up to her jaw. Her head fell to the side, opening herself up to his tender ministrations. She was submitting to him, giving him the authority to dominate her body with his own. The steady thrum of vibrating sound echoed from him as he lavished her with his approval. His hands slipped over her soft arms to trace a path across her arching back. Her breaths were coming faster as her body reacted to him and her arousal began to rise.

“Sess... What?... Please...”

He paused in his exploration of her delicate skin.

Kagome tried to clear her mind, tried to regain some sense of balance before doing something stupid. It was hard. His touch was electric, burning her skin in the most delightful of ways. His lips... oh his lips on her neck were wreaking havoc on her body and mind. “Sesshomaru, why? Why are you doing this?”

He pulled away from the delectable morsel to stare into her lazy blue eyes. Kami she was lovely. How had he allowed himself to fall into this trap that was Kagome? She is unsure of my intentions. No doubt the inuGod was to thank for her wariness toward his own advances. ‘Curse that foul bastard.’

Sesshomaru sighed and placed his hands upon her slender shoulders, slowly rubbing his fingers over the soft skin. “Kagome, I have no hidden agenda. I am merely drawn to you. Is that so hard to believe?”

Kagome didn’t know how to respond to that. Could she trust him? Anubis had lured her to her doom with soft caresses so easily. One thing stood out above all others. She was human. Why would Sesshomaru want to be with a human? He hated the fact that his father ‘lowered’ himself by taking a human woman to his bed, and she was a hime! Kagome, herself, was no princess. She was just plain old knocked up human Kagome. Still she wondered, why her? “But... I’m human. I thought you...”

He did not allow her to finish. He crushed her lips to his own in a soul-searing kiss. He smothered her mouth in his passion, attempting to pour a small portion of his need of her into the act, attempting to show her how he felt. His tongue swept inside her moist chamber of secrets where he plundered her treasures. Her response was soft, unsure, but there none-the-less. Sesshomaru pulled away. Both were panting for breath. His golden eyes were ablaze with barely contained passion and with a voice laced with raw need he whispered, “Hai, a very sweet tasting... human.”

Kagome gasped. He seemed unconcerned in the least that she was a mortal. He was even mocking her.

“Kagome, you are human, but you are not. You hold more power in your small hand than a thousand humans posses in their entire bodies.” To emphasize his point he pulled her hand to his lips, never removing his piercing eyes from her own, and pulled one dainty finger into his hot mouth. One by one he sucked gently on each of her fingers, stroking the soft flesh with his tongue and loving the way she finally closed her eyes, moaning softly, and giving in to the erotic feel of it.

He was seducing her, and she was letting him. Did she want to stop him? Truthfully... no. She wanted him, badly. There was something between them that sparked and swirled, drawing them together. She had always thought him beautiful.

Sesshomaru moved to place a lingering kiss on her palm, then began a series of butterfly kisses up her slender arm, to her sculptured shoulder, and on to the delicate skin of her neck. Slowly he moved, placing each caress of his lips upon her flesh with heated promises of the inferno to come. She was swaying under his assault.

Her long dark lashes fluttered, then closed. What was the use? She wanted this. She wanted to share her body with Sesshomaru. She wanted to see him lose that infamous stoic control. “Mmmm.... yessss,” she muttered as his lips traced a fiery trail across the shell of her ear.

She was his. He had succeeded in pushing past her silly reservations. His excitement sent his heart into a pounding rhythm as images of taking her beneath him swam through his mind. He had longed for this moment for more time than he cared to admit.

***WARNING: LEMON (aka sex) STARTS HERE!!! Skip to the ‘End of Lemon’ note if you find this offensive.

With one smooth motion he lifted her into his arms. Her body was soft and pliant, slipping erotically against his own. With one mighty leap he pulled them both free of the swirling waters to land gracefully next to the brightly burning fire. Gently he lowered her onto her sleeping mat, hovering above her for a moment to take in her flushed beauty. She looked up at him, waiting patiently for him to proceed, while tracing his chest with the lightest of touches.

He sat back to look at her. His heated gaze traced her body, slowly absorbing every curve and dip. Lingering on the soft swell of her full breasts, down to the telling rise of her pregnant belly. He felt her cringe as his eyes raked over her growing pup, and he looked back at her curiously. She seemed... embarrassed. He returned to the soft mound where her powerful pup was nestled safely inside of her womb. Such power. He could feel it tracing sizzling paths over his flesh. How could she be ashamed of carrying something so incredibly strong?

Her heart skipped a beat as his warm tongue snaked out to lick and kiss a path over her swollen stomach. He was so gentle, and she almost wished that he were the father of her child instead of Anubis. Sesshomaru acted as if he not only cared for her, but her unborn baby as well. This action on the part of her inuyoukai lover, washed away all of her fears.

Kagome moaned and arched up, tangling her hands in his blanket of silky white hair. Each kiss, each nip of his sharp fangs, sent a trail of fire straight to her core. Soon nothing mattered anymore. Nothing except this feeling. This wonderful feeling. “Sesshomaru...”

His name on her lips sent a shiver of desire through his body. Nothing had prepared him for this experience. His past sexual encounters were hard, wild ruts with women who were as lethal as they were beautiful, but this soft little onna beneath him was so different. So smooth and delicate. Her skin was so thin that he had to take extra care not to damage her with his claws. Lower, and lower he kissed and caressed until his nose was buried in the tickling fur between her firm thighs. He slowly moved his face there, nuzzling, enjoying the softness as it brushed against his face.

Her breathing was becoming erratic and she looked down while stroking his smooth face, over to his pointed ear, earning a rumble of pleasure from her inuyoukai. His golden eyes flashed up to meet her half closed cerulean gaze, before he removed his hands from her stomach and hip to nudge her legs further apart.

Kagome could hardly breath. He was being so tender, so gentle. His mouth moved over her with burning intensity, and the caress of his long silky hair against her sensitive skin was driving her happily insane. The look he just gave her, as he hovered above her womanhood sent her mind reeling and her body burning. Lust shone brightly in his crimson tinged eyes. It was more than erotic, it was sensuously arousing.

A thrumming vibration was emanating from deep within his chest, and the sound of it was causing a strange unexpected reaction. Heat was pooling between her legs. A fire was raging in her core. It was burning her alive. Her hips rose up, in her attempt to ease the throbbing ache and she screamed as his soft wet tongue slipped between her netherlips to taste her for the first time.

By the Gods, no female had ever been so responsive to his touch. No female had ever tasted so sweet. Her little bud flicked from side to side against his tongue, all the while stiffening with her pleasure. Her body was out of control and he was forced to hold her down as she writhed about under the worship of his mouth.

Kagome was gasping for each breath, screaming out under his assault. It was blissful torture. Frantically she grasped at the mat beneath her with one hand while clutching a handful of his soft hair in the other. The pressure of her climax was building to unconfined proportions. His mouth was doing unbelievable things to her most, intimate places. He was kneading her inner thigh, slowly moving his hand closer, until she felt him prodding at her entrance.

The scent of her filled him completely, her cries of passion deafened his ears, and her tiny nails seemed to grow sharper as she released his hair in an insane attempt to grasp onto something intangible. Her hips bucked wildly beneath his face as he sucked the bundle of nerves into his mouth, teasing it with his teeth and tongue. And when he eased one masculine finger into her tight dripping core, he groaned in wonder.

It was more than she could take. Her body was on fire and when he pushed his finger deep inside of her she felt the coil release. Hit with a force of a hundred pleasurable electrical pulses, Kagome screamed, “Ah... ahh....! Sesshomaruuuuu!!!”

Her tiny body rocked and shook violently under the force of her orgasm, and Sesshomaru was amazed that he held the power to generate such a wild unrestrained response in his little miko. Greedily he lapped at her spilling juices before pushing himself away with one last sucking caress of his mouth. With equal slowness he worked his way up her body, kissing and touching her, committing every rise and fall of her body to memory. He found a strange pale scar on her side very interesting and paid special homage to the symbol of her mortality, before again progressing upwards.

He nudged the underside of her thick breast with his nose, enjoying the feel of it bouncing back against his face. He slipped his tongue out and licked the spot before moving up and over the mound seeking out the hard little peak. Once found, Sesshomaru sucked it into his mouth causing Kagome to arch against his face, giving herself to feast upon. He nipped it with his fangs and felt his arousal grow even more than he thought possible when she squealed. With the fingers of his new left arm he twisted and plucked at the other nipple while he sucked and pulled at the one in his mouth. All the while his little onna writhed and cried out his name like a mysterious chant.

Her tiny hands were driving him mad as they rubbed feverish paths over his back, sides and arms. He groaned just thinking about sinking himself into her tight folds. With one last tug of his mouth he released the full breast and watched it jiggle as it settled, then he continued to work his way upwards to the haven of her waiting mouth. “Kagome...”

His kisses were passionate, demanding and domineering as he pulled her in and took command of her mind, body and soul. Kagome opened to his playful tongue and reveled in the taste of her own sweet essence against his lips. His kiss was thorough, seeking and giving until she had to pull away for a much needed breath of air.

She wanted to touch him, and until now he had been in complete control. His body was so beautiful, so perfect, and she just wanted to explore it and discover the secrets of the Great Lord Sesshomaru. He begrudgingly allowed her this, as she pushed against him in her insistent exploration. Kagome was delighted to trace his magenta markings over his wrists first with her fingertips and then with her mouth.

His chest was taught and full of lean muscle. She savored each and every line and bulge with her tender administrations. His breathing was fast and hard as he clutched her to him desperately. The claws of his right hand moved to trace tingling paths over her hip and thigh as she poured her attentions onto his chest. He sucked in a breath when she took his own firm nipple into her mouth, gently biting it between her dull mortal teeth.

Downward she moved, finding that on his waist, in a vee that dipped towards his pelvis, were more of the perfect youkai markings. His chiseled stomach twitched under her lips as she kissed and nipped her way over the stripes to sweep her tongue into the dip of his navel. She delighted in his groan of pleasure and it served to encourage her further exploration.

Her heart began to race as she encountered the soft white curls surrounding his manhood. Keeping her eyes closed, she nestled her face in the softness before seeking out her prize.

Her slender fingers dragged tiny claws over his body, leaving behind light red welts in their wake. Her face was so close to his heavy erection that he could feel the heat of her breath feathering against the base. He fought the urge to push himself into her face, instead forcing his excitement back down.

Kagome moaned as she nuzzled further, moving her hand to caress the velvet soft steel of his manhood. She pushed it gently against the side of her face. He bucked his hips slightly and Kagome fought the urge to grin at her own naughty behavior. Slowly she tilted her face and slipped her tongue from between her lips.

His heart slammed in his chest when he felt her moist hot tongue sneak out to taste the base of his staff. Her licks did not stop there and soon she was poised to take him into her mouth. He could feel her breath blowing softly against the sensitive tip and he thought he would explode in anticipation. Would she do it? Would she take him into her mouth?

“Nnnhhhhggg,” Sesshomaru groaned. Her moist hot mouth sucked him inside and nothing could have compared to feel of it. He threw his head back, tossing his wild mane about, blown away with the perfection surrounding his throbbing phallus. Her mouth moved over his length, sucking and teasing with her tongue. He looked back down in wonder at the little vixen between his legs, marveling at her brassy actions. His flaming eyes traced every line of her slender back down to the swell of her buttocks that were simply aching for his touch.

Her mouth moved, sucking and milking, while one of her hands clutched and massaged his hanging sac. The other aided in her worship of his cock and Sesshomaru knew that he was very close to complete ecstasy. His husky, lust driven voice groaned her name, “Kagome....”

His hand moved to clutch her hair low near the base of her neck and he pulled her away from him. He had to have her, and he had to have her now. She whimpered in protest and he grunted while capturing her eyes before capturing her mouth in a blinding kiss.

In one swift movement he lay her on her back, never removing his mouth from hers. He slid one leg between her thighs, and groaned as his manhood pushed against her smooth leg. He pressed it harder and moved his hips, mimicking his need, before maneuvering himself in position to mount her. He tried to keep himself in check, for fear of damaging her delicate body, but was finding it harder and harder to do so.

Kagome grasped his shoulders and pulled her legs up to allow him access to her aching core. She was smoldering in her want of this demon lord, and nothing would stop them from their pleasure. His eyes were now completely red and a thrilling shiver ran up her spine. He looked so wild and untamed, nothing like the composed stoic aristocrat he normally was. All because of her. She held her breath when he slipped his thick erection between her netherlips and rubbed the head over her aching pearl. Upwards her hips thrust of their own accord.

She was his wanton little bitch now. Her body was burning for him, and that was the way he wanted it. In mere seconds he would discover her depths. He paused, enjoying the lustful sweep of her thick lashes as she peered up at him in expectation.

Then he plunged in.

“Great Kami!” He grunted deeply. “So... tight...” She surrounded him in molten heat, squeezing his cock like nothing he had ever experienced. Her scream of complete fulfillment rang out in his ears and he remained still before he spilled himself into her to quickly. A rumbling growl poured from his chest as he began to move his hips, pulling out of her softness, only to plunge once more into her quivering core.

He was huge, stretching her to almost painful limits. She could feel every vein, every ridge of his thick length moving against her soft walls. It was as close to heaven as she could get. She grasped his shoulders hard, holding on with all her might as she spiraled out of control. Her body had a mind of its own, humping lustfully against him like a bitch in heat.

Through harsh, panting breaths Kagome called out, “Sesshomaru! It’s... so... big!... AH!!” The slapping sounds of his flesh popping against her own echoed amongst their mingled grunts and groans. Her body shook with every powerful thrust of his hips.

Her breasts danced beneath him as he plunged his rock hard cock into her grasping wet heat. Her face was drawn up in the sexiest portrayal of ecstasy that he had ever had the honor to witness. Her eyes soon caught his attention. They were swirling in silver and blue and when she moaned out he spotted tiny sharp fangs glinting white. Her clenching sheath was fighting his entrance and clinging to him as he pulled out. Every thrust, every drive brought his pleasure to new heights.

Long silken strands of his quickly drying hair tickled aver her skin creating a bevy of sensations unlike anything that she had ever known. She cried and screamed and clutched desperately at her intense lover while he mercilessly pounded himself into her folds.

Kagome cried out in grief as he suddenly stopped with a fierce growl, but within the blink of an eye she was flipped to her hands and knees. Before she could utter a protest or plea, her hot taiyoukai buried himself in her once more. Kagome threw her head back and screamed his name as his claws dug into her hips. He invaded her body in blissful delight. In moments his hard pounding thrusts sent her spiraling over the edge of yet another mind-blowing orgasm. Her body convulsed, rocking uncontrollably under the force of it, and behind her she heard Sesshomaru release a ferocious snarl.

Hot. Tight. Silken clenching muscles. He couldn’t think, he could barely breath from the sensations being drawn from his body. His beast was free and reveling in the taking of his little bitch on her knees. His fangs slashed through the night air as he plunged hard into her softness. Milking. Sucking, pulling his cream from his body.

Sesshomaru roared, announcing his rights to this woman beneath him. She belonged to him! She would ALWAYS belong to him! With a hard grunt his body shook as his seed shot forth from his staff coating her channel with each drum of his heart. Through ragged breaths he called out her name in a bestial voice before plunging his fangs into the junction of her shoulder and neck. Her tiny form went rigid from the unexpected stab of pain, but he refused to relinquish his hold upon his female.

In a mindless haze of passion Sesshomaru gorged on her sweet blood, before pulling her around to press her mouth forcefully over his chest. “Bite me!” he ordered, but she fought uselessly against his command. “Bite me bitch!” Whether out of anger or fright, Kagome then bit down hard, sinking her little fangs into his chest, succumbing to the powerful male. He shivered as her tongue stroked over the wound while she drew in his powerful blood.

‘Why is he doing this?!’ Her mind screamed. At first the salty iron taste was repulsive, but then something changed, and it became the nectar of the Gods. It was smooth and perfect and felt so right that she could not pull away. Suddenly her body went tight and shook as the most powerful climax she had ever experienced rocked her body. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she gasped for breaths as she clawed at his chest helplessly in its grasp.

***LEMON ENDS HERE

Sesshomaru cradled her against him, all the while whispering tender words of approval to his little vixen. He traced her soft face with the tips of his claws, and down lower over her hip. Here he paused, finding trails of blood, where he had grown careless, damaging his little miko. He growled his disgust at his own reckless behavior, and lay her down on the mat beneath them. She fell away in a limp heap of satisfaction, and he leaned down to place a soft kiss over her swollen lips.

He moved to her hips and began to lick away the streams of blood, while thrumming a soothing beat from his chest. On closer inspection he was shocked to see that the wounds, so obviously there during their passion, were all but healed. In fascination he watched as the remnants of the puncture wounds disappeared before his very eyes. Curiously he looked up to her face, but found Kagome already sleeping, her energy spent from their lovemaking. The taiyoukai crawled up beside her and lay down, nuzzling his mark and earning him a soft groggy moan from his new mate.

Something was licking him. It felt nice. Sesshomaru cracked open one golden eye and found his little mate nuzzling his chest, sweeping her warm moist tongue over... blood? Both eyes came open, and he arched one delicate dark brow in question. There was dried blood streaked all over his chest and stomach and it was his blood. ‘Strange,’ he thought to ask Kagome, but she seemed content to clean his person in the most erotic of ways. He hated to distract her. It was just too enjoyable to interrupt.

Of course, it did occur to him, after a moment or two, that it was equally odd for a human to take such enjoyment in the taste of blood. Especially Kagome. “Miko, what are you doing?” Her raven head shot up, and she turned startled silver eyes on him. He was so shocked that he was frozen for a moment, but almost as soon as she looked at him the silver began to retreat to blue.

“Ohayou Sesshomaru,” she cheerfully greeted him.

“What were you doing just now?” Sesshomaru asked. He was rather curious about this strange behavior, and wanted to know if she was aware of what she had been doing.

“Nothing. Why?” Kagome asked as she scooted closer to him.

“Hn.” He replied. Apparently she did not know what she was doing. He sensed no lie coming from her soft pink lips. So soft. So pink.

Kagome moaned against his lips and he slipped his tongue inside to tease her own fleshy appendage. She found this type of wake up call very pleasant indeed. His hands moved to caress her and she shyly traced his bare skin with her own. He kissed her thoroughly and heatedly until she was gasping for breath.

“Well, that was worth waking up to!” Kagome replied with a bright smile. She relaxed and nuzzled her face into his neck. “Arigato, Sesshomaru, for last night.” He held her close, not responding with words, but with tender caresses over her soft hair. She sat up a little and groaned at her sore muscles. Her neck hurt worse than anything and instantly her hand lifted to the wound. She turned to him, remembering the bite. Kagome flushed completely red as she remembered her biting him. “Why did you bite me?”

He raised a brow. She is unaware? He sat up and pulled her small body into his lap, leaning in to nuzzle the bite mark before licking it slowly. He smirked as she moaned softly at his touch. He pulled away and looked down at her. “You are mine, and I marked you as such.”

“Yours?” Kagome mumbled as she looked away, attempting to process this new information so early in the morning. ‘His? His what? His property?’ Anger sparked. She was no ones property. She swung around with her temper flaring, “Your what, exactly?!”

Sesshomaru huffed at her ridiculous question. “You are the chosen mate of this Sesshomaru, of course.”

His answer was completely unexpected.

A/N: Well, there you have it! The long awaited FIRST of several lemons between Sesshomaru and Kagome. I do hope it was enjoyable. Sorry to all those who don’t like the lemons, but this IS an NC-17 rated fic. And you all KNOW how much I LOVE SMUT!

I also want to apologize for the late chapter. I had a bit of writer’s block. Writer’s block just doesn’t blend well with lemony goodness. I will try to get the next chapter out much sooner.

Next update we continue the journey to finally arrive back at the palace where lots of crazy things are happening. Until then....
