It was morning and Rin was back in her bed. Sesshomaru had transported her there not too long ago. She was rubbing the sleep out of her eyes when there was a knock at the door.

"Rin?" came the soft voice. "May I come in?"

"Yes, mom."

Rin had her mother's hair and eyes. She sometimes found it weird that she was the spitting image of her. Her mother sat down on the chair by her daughter's bed side.

"Are you excited to see Daisuke today?"

Rin sighed and turned her body to the wall, her back facing her mother. She pulled the covers over her head.

"No. I don't want to see him again, much less marry the cocky son of a-"

"Rin! Language!"

Rin turned to face her mother and said, "-the cocky bastard." Her mother sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose.

"I know you're very much against this engagement, but will you at least do it for your father? We will be much wealthier, and you could have access to even more than you wanted."

"Well if it's money, why didn't you and dad marry me off to one of the Taisho sons? I'm sure they're wealthier than the stupid Shimada."

"They're a dog demon family Rin. The Shimada are humans. And you're a human. Why would we marry you off to a dog demon and produce half-demon offspring?"

Her mother's words stung at Rin. She knew Sesshomaru didn't mind having half-demon offspring, because he'd love them regardless. And he loved her. No, he was in love with her. However, they couldn't mate yet since their relationship was a secret, and everyone in her town knew she was engaged to Daisuke Shimada. Word got around quickly.

Rin turned around again to the wall.

"Rin, please try to understand where I'm coming from. You don't know this but I've loved your father since we were in college. Despite him having eyes for another woman, he chose me instead. And look where we are now. We have you, our beautiful daughter."

"But are you in love with him?"

"Excuse me?"

"You say you love dad, but are you in love with him?" There was silence for a few moments before Rin said, "Your inability to reply seems to be the answer. Now, if you don't mind, can you please leave? I'd like to be alone for a while, before I have to see that cocky bastard."

Rin's mother looked at her daughter with sadness but also confusion. She popped a question that she didn't know the answer to. All this time she thought that loving someone was the same as being in love with them. Was there really a difference?

She could hear the voices downstairs. She was dreading having to see this Daisuke Shimada. Rin walked down the stairs, her parents and Daisuke coming into view. They were sitting in the living room.

"Ah, Rin. You look lovely," Daisuke said.

"It's nothing special. Just skinny jeans and a shirt." Rin gave her fakest smile. Her father gave her a stern look as if to say stop this right now.

Daisuke got up and said, "We'll get out of your hair now. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Uehara."

"You two have fun!" said Mrs. Uehara, as Rin and Daisuke left.

Daisuke and Rin were in his family's limo. He had his arm around Rin's shoulder, while Rin herself had her arms across her chest. This man is rich, yet he reeks of some cheap ass cologne.

"Can you take your arm off me? I'd rather not be touched."

"But we're getting married soon." As he put his hand on Rin's lower thigh, he said, "Why not get used to being touched right now?"

Rin elbowed Daisuke in the stomach and said, "How about you learn some fucking respect?"

Daisuke was hunched over. This woman is pretty strong for her size. The car then stopped in front of a tall building.

"Where are we?" Rin asked.

"At Taisho Inc."

Rin's eyes widened. Sesshomaru was going to be there. She couldn't go inside. They had agreed she wouldn't go to his place of work, fearing that someone would find out about them.

"Um, why are we here?"

"My father said I had to meet him here. For some meeting with the eldest son or something. I really don't know. Come on."

"Uhh, you can go on ahead. I'll just wait until the meeting is over."

Daisuke rolled his eyes. "What? Are you scared of some measly dog demon?" Rin then started to remember last night and the amount of pleasure Sesshomaru made her feel. He wasn't a measly dog demon. No siree. She was so lost in her thoughts, she didn't hear Daisuke say, "Come on Rin. I'm gonna be late."

She shook her head and scooted out of limo. She could only hope that Sesshomaru would understand why she was here.

Sesshomaru was tuning out the nasally voice of Mr. Shimada. He didn't understand why his father decided to have a meeting with this imbecile. All he wanted was for night to come so his Rin could be writhing under him. He then straightened himself in his seat when he smelled her. Why is she here? There was a knock at the door and his secretary let both men know that Daisuke was there, along with his fiance.

Daisuke entered the room, Rin following behind him.

"Ah, the great Sesshomaru. It's a pleasure to finally meet you. I'm sure you've heard by now, but I'm engaged to the lovely Rin Uehara."

"Hn."

Rin's head was down, she didn't want to look into Sesshomaru's golden eyes. Her avoiding eye contact, answered his question. She wasn't here of her own accord.

"Come on Rin. Don't be shy. Say hi to him." Daisuke slightly pushed her forward. Sesshomaru quickly narrowed his eyes at the son. How dare he touch his Rin. As much as he wanted to rip him apart, he had to maintain his professionalism. No one could know about him and Rin.

"I'm sure she doesn't need to be here for this meeting. She can wait outside," said Daisuke.

Rin looked up at Sesshomaru as he said, "Indeed, she can." They held each other's gaze, but it was soon broken when Sesshomaru's father Inutaisho, came in.

"Sesshomaru, why didn't you let me know-oh?" Inutaisho looked at Rin in curiousity. "You must be Rin Uehara. It's a pleasure to meet the only daughter of Mr. Uehara."

"You know my dad?"

"Yes. We were classmates back in college, but we didn't speak much." Inutaisho looked to his son and said, "Sesshomaru, why don't you keep Rin company, while I talk to Mr. Shimada and his son? I'm sure Rin wouldn't want to be alone, waiting for this meeting to be over."

"Hn," was all that came from Sesshomaru. But deep down, he was eager to get out of this boardroom and be with Rin.

Sesshomaru led the both of them to his office. It was a good thing that his secretary was on her lunch break. The floor was empty so no one would be able to suspect anything. Once he closed the door, they were all over each other. Rin was aching for Sesshomaru to be inside her again. But then something came to mind. She put her hands on his chest, urging him to stop.

"Wait. What about your dad? Wouldn't he be able to smell my scent on you and vice versa? Suppose he starts asking questions?"

Sesshomaru considered her words. He led her to the black couch, allowing the both of them to sit. "You have a point. But right now, I don't care what he thinks." He began to feel his way under her shirt. However, she grabbed a hold of his arm to stop him. She moved to straddle his lap, and began grinding against his growing erection. He held on to her hips. He was desperate to be buried inside of her. But he'd have to wait until later tonight. She took off her shirt, and unclasped her bra. She'd allow him to have a taste for what was to come later. He took one of her perky mounds into his mouth, and teased it with his tongue. Rin could feel how wet she was becoming as she ground deeper into Sesshomaru's arousal.

"Sesshomaru…"

"Thank you for coming on such short notice, Mr. Shimada."

"No worries. It's a pleasure doing business with you." Mr. Shimada turned to his son and said, "Go get Rin. You two love birds should be enjoying the day."

"Ah, don't worry. I'll go get Sesshomaru, and have him send her down. You two can wait down in the lobby."

Inutaisho took the elevator to the 12th floor. Once he stepped out, he heard weird noises coming from his son's office. The secretary also wasn't there. He assumed she was on her lunch break. As he stepped closer, his eyes widened when he heard the female voice moan out Sesshomaru's name. Rin and Sesshomaru? But how is this possible? They had never met until- He then remembered when Sesshomaru's behaviour began to change about a year ago. He wasn't as cold as he used to be, and even started talking to his younger brother more. She must have been the reason.

There was a knock at the door. The lovers immediately stopped, and Sesshomaru realized that it was his father on the other side. He was so lost in pleasuring Rin, he didn't sense his father coming. Rin quickly put back on her bra and shirt. When she looked presentable, Sesshomaru opened the door. Just by the look in his father's eyes, he could tell that he knew. Inutaisho stepped inside his son's office and closed the door. Rin looked to Sesshomaru, worried. "He knows, doesn't he?"

"Yes, I do. Now, will you two begin to explain what's going on here?"
