What I did for Love . . .
Rin looked out over the beautiful expanse of garden below and beyond her window. Her husband was out for the moment so this was the only quiet time she had to herself. They had no children so the house was always empty except for the servants that tended to her when she called. But she didn't call on them too often; she liked doing things herself.
Trying to ignore the awful state of her marriage, she though back to how her and her husband had first met . . .
-flashback-
Rin had been walking down the aisle in the market when she noticed a glint of white to her left. Turning slightly so as to appear not looking, she saw the side profile of a man with long silver hair that looked white in the light. When he turned in her direction and his amber eyes met her brown ones, she blushed very deeply and offered a small smile.
He didn't smile back but instead turned back to the cabbage he was inspecting. She frowned slightly but thought nothing of it because he was just a stranger. After a few other chance encounters with this man they introduced themselves to each other.
"Hello. I'm Sesshomaru Takahashi. It seems we run into each other a lot lately." "Yeah, I know. Nice to meet you Sesshomaru, I'm Rin Taisho. We do seem to see each other a lot. I think it means something."
He looked at her with a look that she couldn't identify. When he offered to take her out for lunch, she agreed to go with him. Once the initial connection was established, they began to go out to lunch more often than not, which led to the many dates.
Over the next two years, they spent as much time together as they possibly could while working around his very busy work schedule. On the third year, he asked her to marry him and she agreed. She had just earned her BA in secondary education.
-end flashback-
This was their second year of marriage, he owned half the corporate world and she was a second grade teacher. Every since her marriage to Sesshomaru, she hadn't been as happy as the first week of marriage.
She was still a virgin; he hadn't touched her once, aside from kissing and light groping, since they began to live with one another. She sighed heavily as she heard the front door open downstairs. Walking slowly to the entryway of the house, she saw Sesshomaru shake the leaves from his jacket before placing it on the hook by the door.
"Hello husband. I hope your day went well. Do you want me to get you anything?" She was looking at their wedding picture as she spoke to him. That picture is a lie. Even his smile is false. I hate this house, I even hate him but I love him more . . .
He pulled her close, after setting down his briefcase, and kissed her very softly. Her lips didn't respond to the whisper soft caress of skin and she turned her head away. The low growl that slipped from his lips told her that he was displeased with her reaction.
He forced her head back to face him and kissed her harder. She whimpered because the harsh kiss forced her lips to scrape against her teeth. Tears sprang to her eyes when his sharp fangs bit into her lower lip. Her mouth opened on a gasp and he used it to gain entry and slide his tongue into her moist cavern.
Wanting to bite his tongue but deciding against it, she went limp in his grasp, which quickly ended the assault on her lips. "Rin, follow me to my office. There is something that I require of you."
