AN: Yeah, number 4! Thanks for all the review! Sorry for all the mistakes ahead of time, I wrote this fast and while tired. Hope you like!
Bad Day
A loud bang followed by a long string of very colorful words came from the open door to the small office. Many of the employees outside of the office stared in surprise, never hearing such a vocabulary coming from the woman inside. Kagome, a fellow secretary, noted the slight hitch in the other woman's voice and decided to check up on her. What she found made her bite her lip to keep from laughing.
Poor Rin was seated just under her desk, rubbing her head with tears forming in the corner of her eyes. Surrounding her was an array of pens, pencils, and papers. Her always proper knee length skirt had risen up to about mid thigh while her neat shirt was wrinkled, a stain looking like coffee revealed on the white fabric. Looking closer at Rin's bent legs Kagome could see the long run in her nude colored hose and the bad scuffs on her favorite heels. Even Rin's hair was slightly mussed and her make-up wasn't as neat as it usually was.
"Stupid, idiotic…" Rin was muttering as she continued to rub her head.
"Rin, you alright?" Kagome asked as she entered the office.
"No." She knew she sounded slightly whinny but Rin didn't care. After her day she deserved to be a little whinny. Blinking hard she tried her best to keep her tears at bay. But Kagome saw them anyways.
"Oh, honey, what's wrong?" Kagome knelt next to the slightly younger woman, putting a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"Everything." Rin sniffed and roughly yanked her shoes off, rubbing her right ankle.
"Alright, what's going on? I've never seen you this…distraught." Kagome took the floor next to Rin, rubbing her back slightly. "Tell me what's going on."
Rin pulled her knees to her chest, doing her best to hold back her tears of frustration. "Everything seems to be going wrong the past few days."
"How so?"
"The worst of it has been today, starting with when I woke up." Rin sighed and began to tell her story. About how she slipped in the shower, bruising her side, then how her hair refused to do what she wanted. Next was the coffee she spilled because her neighbor's cat decided to go crazy on her and scare her, followed by the run in her hose she got when she scratched her leg on a loose piece of wood by the door. Then she had car trouble (a brand new car too) that made her late for work. And, just to make things even worse, she just dropped her entire cup of pens and a stack of files, sending the papers everywhere.
"Oh, Rin, I'm so sorry." Kagome bit her lip, somewhere between amusement and sympathy shinning in her eyes. She felt sorry for the poor girl.
"And to just top off my fantastic week, Sesshomaru just called." This time a tear did escape and she swiped at it angrily.
"Oh? Is he coming back soon?" Kagome smiled fondly, her mind drifting to the president of the company. Well, the other co-president of the company who'd just called her with great news.
"No!" Rin nearly shouted, banging a fist against the carpeted floor. "He said that there was a situation and he was going to be gone for a few more days."
Kagome frowned at that. Inuyasha had just told her that he was going to be returning within a few hours so she'd figured Sesshomaru would be returning with his brother. What was going on? Wait a minute…Inuyasha had told her not to tell Rin he was coming back. Maybe there was something going on.
"I wish he was back." Rin finally sighed. "I miss him so much and just his presence would make my week better."
"Well, he did ask you to go with him." Kagome pointed out. "I didn't go because of my mother but why didn't you?"
"Because if I had gone it would have been a bad idea." She sighed again, her fingers playing with the blue diamond ring on her left hand. "Sesshomaru told me how big and important this deal was. Had I gone with him bets are we would have never made it out of the hotel room."
Kagome had to laugh at that, knowing she wasn't exaggerating. When she and Inuyasha had become engaged it had been difficult for them to be separated. They had spent so many long days and nights trapped beneath the sheets…and there had been far too many mornings in which she had to walk into work late, covered in love bites and glowing. She could only imagine how…animalistic Sesshomaru was. If he was anything like Inuyasha…wow.
"Believe me, Rin, I know what you mean. Those two are just too eager that they immediately want to skip the wedding and go straight to the honeymoon." Kagome laughed again at the blush staining the other woman's cheeks.
"Exactly. Don't get me wrong, I would love nothing more than to spend a week in bed with Maru but with how important this deal is, not just to him but to his family, I didn't want to risk anything going bad. Especially if it was to go bad because we can't keep out hands off each other." Another sigh escaped the tired woman.
"Actually, I'm surprised you two get any work done with how often his door is closed." Kagome couldn't help teasing her, trying to make her feel better. "Being your own fiancé's secretary is the best, isn't it?"
There was no hiding the small smile that graced her lips as she thought about Kagome's words. It was great being Sesshomaru's personal secretary…even before they became a couple. She'd gotten the job because Inutaisho, Sesshomaru's father, was deeply impressed with her skills and her ability to stand up to his cold, cruel son. There was no denying the attraction Rin and Sesshomaru had felt for each other from the first moment they met but the two had tried to keep it professional. At least until she had caught her boyfriend cheating on her and she had sought refuge in the office.
Her smile softened at the memory, it had been…romantic in a way. She'd sat behind her desk, crying, when he'd suddenly appeared. Apparently he had been working late and heard her. Without words he dragged her into his office and gave her a glass of Scotch. Together they had sat on his floor, staring out the large window and drinking bottle after bottle of alcohol, and he'd listened to her. He'd actually held her for a moment as she cried. And, before she was too drunk to forget, he'd kissed her…a long, passionate kiss that left her wanting more.
It wasn't until a month or so after that night that things had changed. He'd started requiring her to stay later, asking her opinion, her advice, on important matters. One night, about three months after that kiss, when they had been away on a business trip, they had gotten into a bad argument that had almost lead to her quitting but instead had ended up with her in his hotel bed, riving in pleasure as he skillfully took her body. Needless to say that after that night (and morning) things between them were far from professional. It had taken nearly six months after before he announced that they were official 'together' and another year before he'd decided she was to bear his name.
There was no doubt in her mind and heart that she loved Sesshomaru, absolutely none. But on days like today and situations like this she couldn't help but think that he didn't feel for her nearly as much as she did for him. It was preposterous, for sure, but she had her insecurities. Particularly where a tall, dark haired, ruby eyed heiress was concerned. The very same woman who had been in a long relationship with Sesshomaru directly before Rin and was currently in the same area as him.
"Kagome?" Rin whispered, hugging her knees tighter.
"Hm?"
"Do you think Sesshomaru's cheating on me?" It hurt to ask the words but she needed the comfort…even if it was a lie.
"What?" Kagome nearly shouted, pulling back slightly to look into the sad eyes of her good friend. "Why on earth would you think such a thing? Has he given you any reason to think that way?" If he had that damned silver haired cheater had better run for the hills. Kagome had been through something along those lines with Inuyasha and his ex, Kikyo, but thankfully the accusations had been false.
"No…" Rin answered on a sigh. "But it just feels like he's been…distant. Like I'm not what he truly needs."
"Don't you ever think that Rin." Kagome demanded, shaking the woman a little. "You listen to me and listen good. You are everything to that man; his heart, his life, his soul…everything. Though he may not say what he feels very often I can see it in his eyes. The way he looks at you, holds you, it's as if he's caring for the most precious think in the world. Trust me on this, Rin, that man loves you with every fiber of his being."
Rin gave a slightly relieved smile, wiping at the tears that had escaped her eyes. "Thank you Kagome. I really needed to hear that."
"And I'm not lying." Kagome added. The only response she got was a swift nod of understanding. A moment passed in silence before Kagome spoke again. "Why did you ask me that?"
"I don't know." Rin gave what felt like the millionth sigh of the day and released her legs. "I just always feel so self-conscious when he's gone. Especially when I know Kagura is going to be there."
"Don't you worry about her. Judging off of what Inuyasha told me about her, there is no way Sesshomaru is going near her again. Apparently she was just an easy lay for your man before he met you." Kagome tried her best to reassure Rin even more, not lying in any way but just rewording what she'd been told from her colorfully mouthed husband.
"I know that, Maru's told me as much but that doubt is still there." Rin turned her brown gaze to met Kagome's blue. "You can't tell me that, even after a year of marriage to Inuyasha, it doesn't get to you when he's gone and you know Kikyo will be there and you aren't."
Damn, she had a valid point. "Yes, I do feel my doubts but I also trust my husband. Look Rin, just take a deep breath and let go of your worries, they are probably why you're having such a bad day. I suggest you go home, soak in the tub, and curl up in bed while watching Beauty and the Beast."
Rin chuckled, finding it funny that Kagome would mention her favorite movie. "I might just do that." Another sigh sounded, this one stronger and filled with purpose. "But first I have a mess to clean up and a few reports that need to be finished."
"Can't they wait?" Kagome asked, helping Rin to stand up.
"Nope, they need to be done ASAP. There's only three so it shouldn't take me too long." She pursed her lips and looked down at the mess around her desk.
"Well…if you're sure." Kagome gave her a doubtful look. "Do you want help?"
Before Rin could answer the sound of a phone went off and the two turned to look out the open door and into the office across the hall. It was Kagome's phone.
"Nah, you go get that. I'll be fine." Rin shooed her before dropping back to her knees to begin picking up the mess.
"Let me know if you need anything." Kagome said as she left the office. As she walked into her own office she mentally made a note that there was a very important call that she had to make.
What felt like hours later Rin finally was able to walk up to her house…well Sesshomaru's mansion and her soon-to-be official home. A few months before their engagement he had 'insisted' that she move in with him. And by insisted it was more like he had demanded it of her while giving her intense pleasure. Not that she had really put up a fight afterwards. Who wouldn't want to live in a large mansion…just as long as someone else was there.
But on days like this, when she came back to find the place empty of everyone, especially Sesshomaru, she wasn't sure she wanted to live there. A long heavy sigh escaped her as she gently shut the front door. Looking around she noted the brilliant shine of the marble floor and immaculate forayer, indicating that the maids had been and gone. Her shoulders dropped at the knowledge and she headed into the kitchen with heavy footsteps. The sound of her heels clicking against the floor echoed in the large entryway as she released her chiffon.
With a disinterested heart Rin opened the fridge door and stared at the abundance of food. Nothing appealed to her, not even the ice cream she knew was waiting for her in the freezer. Heaving another sigh she shut the fridge and turned back to the main hallway, set on climbing the stairs and seeking out a warm bath.
However, the splashes of red covering the white and grey marble caused her to pause. Had that been there since she got there? Looking closer she realized that the red was actually petals. Red rose petals…hundreds of them that led up the long staircase. Frowning in confusion she made her way up the steps, following the trail that went to the left once she reached the top floor. Still staring down at the petals scattered across the dark carpet she nearly ran into the door to the bedroom. Cursing she rolled her eyes and opened the door…a gasp escaped her at what met her eyes.
The bed, which she was sure had blue sheets this morning, was currently dressed in black silk sheets, gleaming in the candle light with even more rose petals scattered atop it. Dozens of candles were lit, placed strategically around the bed so that there was just enough light for her to make out the furniture. Taking a deep breath she noted that the air smelled strongly of roses and vanilla.
"Oh, my…" She spoke on a whispered breath, hand fluttering to her lower lip. She blinked slowly and stepped closer to the bed. Gently she picked up one of the petals, rubbing it between her fingers and loving the velvety feel of it. Replacing the petal she picked up the whole rose laying across the foot of the king size bed. Putting it beneath her nose she took a deep breath, inhaling the lovely fragrance.
"Do you like it?" The deep baritone whispering in her ear startled her. But the strong arms that encircled her waist instantly calmed her, melting her into the hard chest behind her. Warm lips gently kissed her bare neck.
"Mm…" Rin sighed in pleasure, tilting her head to the side to give him better access. "Am I dreaming?"
"Does this feel like a dream?" Slowly his talented lips moved up her slender neck.
"At the moment and after my day…yes, this feels like a dream." Another moan escaped her as he sucked gently on her flesh.
She felt those amazing lips frown slightly just before he pulled back and gently turned her so that she could met his burning golden gaze. "Then this Sesshomaru will have to prove this is no dream."
His kiss was deep and passionate, whipping all thought from her mind. Instantly she succumbed to his kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck and desperately clung to him. They had been apart for far too long and she needed to forget about her bad day. Each pulled the other closer until their balance was thrown off, sending them backwards onto the rose covered bed.
The sudden orientation change went unnoticed by the couple as they continued to be consumed by their passion. At least until their lungs began to scream for air. Rin was the one forced to break the kiss, turning her head to the side to suck down some air. Sesshomaru took that as his chance to give her smooth neck some attention while his hands made quick work of the button up shirt limiting his access to the woman beneath him. Once the last button was free he yanked the fabric open and pulled back to look down at her.
"Gods," he breathed, golden eyes roaming over all of her exposed body. "You are beautiful. You have no idea how much this image has tormented me."
"If it's anything like how this image has tormented me, I have a pretty good idea." She chuckled, tugging his shirt free from his pants so she could start on the buttons. "However, I'm feeling like this is still just a dream."
"Hm, what would convince you that I'm really here?" He smirked down at her before attacking the underside of her jaw with nips and kisses.
"Mm, take off your shirt." She managed to say before releasing a loud moan.
This time he chuckled, then pulled back just long enough to remove the annoying piece of clothing. While he worked on removing his shirt Rin scooted back on the bed, kicking off her shoes and completely removing her shirt. His large hand stopped her when she went to remove her bra.
"No, I've waited five days, I'm unwrapping my present." He growled, kicking off his own shoes before following her to the center of their large bed.
"Then you better start unwrapping." She gave her own smirk, hooking her fingers into the waistband of his pants to pull him close. Before she kissed him she whispered against his lips, "Before I tear into my present."
Sesshomaru moaned into her kiss as her hand brushed against his hard manhood through his trousers. Taking her warning to heart he quickly unhooked her bra and removed it from her body. Without looking at the article of clothing he began to kiss his way down to her succulent breasts. When he reached the first mound he showed no mercy.
Rin gasped loudly when he suddenly sucked the top of her breast and gripped the other. Her hands dove into his hair, scratching his scalp with each suck, lick, nip, squeeze, and pinch he gave. When he was satisfied he'd given that mound significant attention he switched, starting on the hard nipple and causing her to arch into his body.
While she was focused on his mouth on her chest, he allowed his free hand to drift down her flat belly to the top of her skirt. By passing the black fabric he gently gripped her raised thigh and slowly began to push the cloth higher. He became slightly annoyed when he realized she was wearing pantyhose, something he hated since they block his goal. Growling against her flesh he swiftly reached under the skirt and yanked the sheer cloth, as well at her panties, down her legs.
Rin gasped again at the sudden action and the loss of his mouth on her skin. She raised an eyebrow at him, questioning his action.
"You know I hate those damned things." He growled, completely removing the sheer hose and panties from her long legs.
"In my defense, I wasn't expecting you to be back." She huffed defiantly.
"Well, I'm back now, so don't wear them again." He warned, leaning over her again with demanding eyes.
"Yes sir." She smirked and pulled him down for another long, hot kiss.
As their tongues dueled he returned his hand to her thigh, returning to pushing her skirt higher. Once he had it bunched at her hips he abandoned the cloth to cup her heated bare core, pleasantly surprised by how wet she already was. Dragging his finger down her slit he smirked when she arched and moaned.
"You're already soaked, Rin." He whispered against her lips, trailing kisses down her neck as he began to rub gently.
"Sesso…maru…please," Rin groaned, bucking into his hand. "Don't tease me."
He simply chuckled before moving down her body until his head was lined up with her seeping core. His tongue appeared to lick his lips, much like a wolf who'd just found a succulent meal. After shooting a quick look up at her flushed face he placed his mouth over his goal and devoured her.
Rin cried out the moment his lips enclosed her core, her back arching even further as his tongue entered her. She couldn't help but compare the man giving her intense pleasure to a starving man, finally allowed to have what had been denied him. And it didn't surprise her when she soon felt the intense pressure building in her belly.
"Maru…please…" she groaned, bucking against his face.
"Hm, heaven." He muttered, replacing his tongue with his fingers for a moment. "You still taste like heaven. And I want more." The last word came out as a growl before he returned to his assault.
The combination of his fingers and tongue gave them both what they wanted. Rin came with a deep moan, her fingers fisting in his hair as spasms wracked through her body. Sesshomaru growled the moment her juices hit his tongue and eagerly lapped up every drop she gave. Only when he was sure he'd cleaned her did he pull back so he could kiss her deeply, allowing her to taste her own essence.
"I never tire of your taste on my tongue." He said against her lips, brushing some of her hair out of her eyes.
"It seems that your tongue isn't the only thing that wants a taste." She smiled, lifting her leg so that she brushed the large bulge straining to be freed.
He moaned at the sensation, his eyes flashing dangerously. "It seems your right. Mind helping me with the matter?"
Her own eyes flashed heatedly as her fingers deftly released his belt buckle, button, and zipper, before she pushed him back. "Take them off." She demanded, pointing to his pants.
Sesshomaru didn't need to be told twice. As quickly as he could he shed his remaining pieces of clothing while she removed her skirt. But when he went to take his place over her again, she stopped him by crawling up to his standing form and gripping the hard length at his hips.
"Rin," he growled.
She said nothing as she stroked his member, teasing him the way he did her. When she had him moaning she lowered her head and tentatively licked the drop of pre-come from his swollen tip. His hands gripped her head in response, gently pushing her closer. Taking his silent request she took his manhood into her mouth and returned the pleasure he gave her.
It took only a few moments of her talented tongue and warm mouth before he had all he could take. With another growl he pulled himself from her mouth and gently tossed her backwards on the bed so that her head landed on the pillows. He allowed her a moment to get her bearings before pouncing on her, yanking her legs wide so he could settle between them with his manhood lined up with her core.
"I can't wait." It was his apology before he slammed into her, causing them both to cry out at the union. Somehow he was able to pause his movements to allow her a moment to adjust to his invasion. She'd always been extremely tight around him. "Rin?"
"Move." She pleaded, bucking her hips slightly.
Again, he didn't need to be told twice. At first he started out slowly, pulling out and gently pushing back in. With each movement his speed increased until his thrusts became faster and harder, rocking her body across the soft sheets. Desperate to have him closer Rin tightened her thighs around his hips and harshly lifted her pelvis up to meet his thrusts. Tighter and tighter the coil in her body wound until she didn't think she would last.
"Sesshomaru…" she moaned. "Please…more…"
His response was to growl and, somehow, snap his hips harder against hers. This caused him to penetrate deeper and hit that single spot that he always seemed to find and send her over the edge. Rin screamed as she came, her inner walls clamped around him enough to have him follow her. He growled out her name as pleasure exploded through him.
When the waves of ecstasy began to ebb away he slowly pulled from her body and rolled onto his side next to her, watching as she panted and shuddered in pleasure. After a week without her , despite what they had just done, he found it difficult to keep from touching her. Of its own accord his hand reached out to stroke her bare arm.
Rin sighed in contentment as she lay back, basking in her afterglow. Her eyes drifted closed as she felt Sesshomaru trace his fingers lightly over her sensitive skin. A moan escaped her when he brushed her nipple. He smiled into her shoulder, kissing the bare skin as his hand drifted lower, brushing her side. This time she hissed, causing him to pull back to see what had caused her pain. There was a faint bruise on her side.
He frowned in the dim light and looked over the rest of her body. She had a few red marks, not from him, littered on her arms. There was a long one on the side of her lower leg along with a darker bruise on the outside of her other knee. His frown deepened as he completely took in his fiancée's body.
"Rin," he whispered, looking back up to meet her eyes. "Why are you covered in scratches and bruises?"
"Hm?" She opened her eyes, giving him a confused look before wrapping her arms around his neck and smiling softly. "Let's just say I've had a bad week without you."
"A bad…week?" He repeated, looking back down her body at her injuries. "Just how bad? What happened?"
"Let's see…" she frowned deeply, nibbling on her lip as she thought. "I…ran into the coffee table twice; spilled my coffee on various parts of my body many times; burned my finger, hand, and arm; scratched my leg on a loose piece of wood by the door; banged my head a couple of times; had a bit of car trouble; what else?... Oh, I fell in the shower this morning and got this." She pointed to the forming bruise on her side. "Then there was all the stuff that happened at work. Like-"
Sesshomaru cut her off by kissing her deeply, rolling his body so he was positioned over her. When he finally pulled back he asked, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Rin shrugged. "I didn't want to bother you." She smiled lovingly, running her hand through his hair. "The whole point of me staying behind was to help keep you focused on your business."
He groaned and dropped his head onto her shoulder. "A lot of good that did me. If I wasn't haunted by very enticing dreams of you that woke me nearly every hour, my mind was consumed with thoughts of you. Even during the meetings. Do you know how embarrassing it is for me to have my brother elbow me because I was spacing out?"
Rin bit her lip to keep from giggling. While she'd been badgered by dreams and thoughts of him they had been nowhere near as bad as what he was describing. "I can imagine. You're usually the one having to make him pay attention."
"I know." He groaned, pulling back to look at her again. "To add to my constant discomfort, Kagura's attention practically drove me mad."
That comment caused her to stiffen beneath him. "She…she was after you again?"
"When isn't she?" He rolled his eyes then noticed the sadness that coated hers. "Rin, you have to know that nothing happened."
"I know." She gave him a half smile. "I trust you, it's her that I don't."
"As long as you believe me and know I love you, that's all I need." He smirked before kissing her again, making sure she was breathless when he pulled back. "But, as much as I don't want to bring this up, she did bring up a good idea."
Rin raised an eyebrow at the, weary of asking. "What could she possibly say that would be considered a good idea?"
The smirk he gave her was pure seduction. He then leaned down and whispered the idea into her ear. Instantly she turned bright red and gasped, causing his smirk to widen as he looked back down at her. His eyebrow rose in question.
"She…she suggested that?" Rin stuttered, her hands dropping to his chest.
"Something similar." He shrugged, nuzzling into her neck. "I just altered it a bit."
"Clearly." She moaned, tilting her head to give him better access when he began to kiss her neck.
"So, what do you say?" He pulled back once again, barely a breath away from her face.
She bit her lip again, her eyes slowly became hooded as she thought over his…delicious idea. "Hm…well…it does seem like a good way to end a bad week."
"And start a wonderful weekend." He growled, kissing her once again.
Rin moaned and relaxed, ready to simply loose herself in his attention and just forget the past few days without him.
