Rin smiled as she sat in the tub filled with bubbles, her and Sesshomaru spent almost a month in the cabin and had just come back home when there was a call for him, a problem that Sara had to speak with him about personally. Rin smirked at the thought of putting her in her place in just a few hours. She was pulled from her thoughts by a knock on the door followed by Inuyasha telling her to hurry or she would be late for her dress arranging.

She stood and rinsed herself off making sure to eliminate all bubbles before stepping out and wrapping a towel around her body, making her way to her bedroom. Seeing the maid there with her dress, Rin smiled and allowed her to help get the dress on and secured. She took the maid's wrist and politely declined her help with her hair and make-up, instead asking for Kagome and Izayoi.

Kagome was taking care of the make-up while Izayoi took care of her hair, both knowing what this night would bring forth and wishing Rin all the luck to deal with it. "Whatever you do Rin, do not let that bitch antagonize you or goad you into a physical confrontation. That will just make you look bad." Kagome stated as she attached a necklace around Rin's neck that matched the dress.

Rin took a deep breath in and looked at her reflection, catching Sesshomaru in the reflection as he watched her admire the dress. He entered the room and wrapped his arms around her waist, kissing her neck gently. "You look so beautiful Rin, it takes my breath away" he whispered, lifting the dress softly in the back, making sure the door was locked before he sucked lightly on her delicate throat.

"Sesshomaru, the ball. We cannot be late for it…..' she broke off with a small moan when his fingers slid along the slit of her heated center. She leaned down pressed her hands to the vanity. Sesshomaru smirked before he slid apart his pants and slid into his mate's welcoming body very slowly.

"Keep quiet Mate, I will go slowly so not a single drop of our release will get on your beautiful dress." He whispered as he slid his hand around to toy with the hidden pearl between where he slid into her body. She panted softly as she forced herself to remain quiet so that the others would not know what was occurring in this very room. He pulled her up so she could rest along his body as his hand moved along her body faster while his hips plunged ever so slowly into her, swallowing her cries in a kiss seconds before he spilled into her body.

He pulled from her and took a spare cloth and carefully wiped her clean and lowering her dress. "Still look beautiful Rin, only now, you carry my scent which should help show Sara she is beneath you Mate." He said softly, grasping the back of her neck gently and kissing her softly. "I will meet you at the doors." He whispered

Once Rin's breathing was back to normal, she made her way out the room and down the hallway and smiled seeing Sesshomaru waiting for her. She stepped next to him and smiled again when his hand fell on her lower back. They entered the room and Rin felt satisfaction when she saw Sara's face full of rage and jealousy.

Rin smiled when Sesshomaru pulled a chair for her and helped her sit before pushing the chair in and taking his seat beside her. Sara made her way towards them and smiled before pressing a kiss to Sesshomaru's cheek and sneering at Rin. "Well well if it isn't little miss commoner playing dress up. This kitchen is a bit hot for you don't you think Rin? You are nothing more than a mere child" Sara said with a hint of jealousy in her voice.

Before Sesshomaru could make a reply, Rin stood and moved to stand before her mate, "I may seem like a child to you Sara, but the fact is, I am the one in his bed every night, I am the one who bears the title Mate and it is I who am the one seated beside him at the most important event in his lifetime." She smirked when Sara's eyes narrowed, Rin moved closer to whisper in her ear "I am also the one who knows just how he likes his fun, although I believe you would phrase it so vulgarly as fucking. I mean really Sara, Sesshomaru would never be attracted to one so ugly as you. It is a dream you have that will Never happen, so let it go and cut your losses" Rin stated before she turned to return to her seat, she sensed Sara's movement just as she spun grasping her wrist and spinning with her arm twisted behind her back.

"Attacking someone from behind is a coward's move Sara, and one not so highly thought of in such high society." Rin stated as she shoved her towards the two guards coming towards them. "Take her out and she is not to be allowed back in, I don't care what merger she has with my Mate" Rin spoke firmly, the guards looked to Sesshomaru as he merely waved in acknowledgment for them to do as their Lady commanded.

The guards grasped Sara's arms and moved her towards the doors, her shrieking filled the room. Rin sat beside her mate relaxing when she felt his hand grasp hers beneath the table tightly. He moved closer to her and whispered in her ear "It will be alright Rin, you did well" His soothing words came to an end when his eyes narrowed before he turned towards the door.

Sara waltzed back into the room behind her father Naraku, owner of the business he was set to merge with. "Sesshomaru what is the meaning of this disrespect shown to my daughter? I don't know what sort of words that little hussy has been whispering to you but if this continues then I will withdraw my merging request and go elsewhere"

Sesshomaru released Rin's hand as she stood, placing her hands on the table. "Your daughter showed disrespect to Lord Sesshomaru's mate and as such she was escorted off the premises." Naraku turned his gaze on her and his own eyes narrowed.

"I was not aware that the Great Lord Sesshomaru stood behind a mere girl and spoke for him" Naraku stated with an arrogant smirk. Sesshomaru stood and came around the table and stopping before Naraku. His eyes containing a slight reddish tint as he grasped the half demon by the throat

"Speak in such a manner to my Mate again and this meeting is over, You have always shown a blatant disrespect for those in my Family or care. I remember your view of Inuyasha and disrespect of my father for having him with a mortal woman. I did not tolerate it about Inuyasha and I certainly will not tolerate it towards my mate. Sara was thrown out due to her disrespect and it was done with my permission, so any issues with that you can take it up with me, until then Get Out" he dropped him to the ground before turning to make his way back to his seat.

He turned to face the guests, "Anyone else that has a problem with my mate feel free to leave." He stated before taking Rin's hand and pulling her close to him as he nuzzled her neck affectionately. Rin's hand cupped his cheek before he moved back to their seats and sat down beside her, Rin following as she sat in her seat.

Sesshomaru watched everyone around them dancing and enjoying themselves he glanced sideways at his mate who nodded towards the stairs and he took her hand in his as he stood, helping her up as well. "I bid you all a good evening, please, enjoy your night as it is still young, my mate and I shall retire for the evening." He said as he turned and walked with her up the stairs, stopping just to send Inuyasha a glance who nodded in understanding of keeping things under control.

Sesshomaru opened the door to his room and allowed Rin to enter first, shutting the door behind her, pulling her into his arms and nuzzling her neck. Rin smiled as her arms came around to grasp his shoulders when his arms slid to her thighs to grasp them and lift her up.

He pressed her to the door, grinding himself into her as small moans left her mouth. Her legs wrapped around his waist as she ground into his hips eagerly, his lips attacking her mark furiously as he nipped it in between light traces of his tongue. She slid her hands beneath his top to glide along his chest as his lips merged with hers.

His hands slid up her thigh to cup her butt cheeks as he pressed her more firmly to the door, his own groans joining hers. She quickly untied his sash as he released her long enough to throw his kimono across the room carelessly before picking her back up and resuming their position.

Rin's fingers slid through his hair for a moment before she slid a hand down to grasp her mate's length, aligning it to her center. She cried out softly when he shifted his hips to slide into her slowly, teasing her with his pace. She grasped his shoulders as his hips suddenly sped up, pounding her hard against the door.

She let her head fall back against the door while he continued thrusting into her hard and fast, just as she was about to reach her own release, he stopped and set her down, turning her to press her front to the door as he slid his hand between her thighs, gently pressing his fingertips against her before sliding two fingers into her snug heat.

"Mate Please….I need you so much" Rin cried out at the delicious onslaught of pleasure he evoked in her. He pulled his fingers back and grasped her waist before he surged back into her in one solid thrust, he thrust into her repeatedly, making her sob in pleasure. She grasped his wrist as her body convulsed in its ecstasy, her release flowing through her seamlessly in an ever going loop that had no beginning and no end.

Sesshomaru slowed his hips down to help her ride her release out, dragging it out longer for her before he pulled form her and lifted her and carrying her to the bed before he lay her on it, parting her thighs in the process. He licked his lips before shifting to lay between her thighs, his head buried deeply as his tongue flicked at her heated center.

Rin arched her hips as her mate feasted on her, indulging himself in her sweet nectar. One hand came around her thigh, cupping it to hold her open for him while the other one held the lips of her heated core open for him to feast more easily. Rin felt him shift before his hands locked with hers, gripping tightly as she felt him lightly sucking on her clit, flicking it with his tongue.

"That feels so good baby….." she whispered as her moans filled the room, Sesshomaru sucked harder while his tongue swiped at her clit faster before delving inside of her body to caress the inner walls of her center. Sesshomaru felt her body begin to convulse before he pulled back, allowing her need to die down. He moved up her body and kissed her deeply as he felt her hands grasp his lower back.

Her soft scream echoed in the room when he pressed his hard length between the lips of her dripping, heated core and began rocking, throwing her into a small release, just as it started to fade out, he lifted his hips and slammed into her, making her cry out. Her nails dug into his back, leaving marks when she dragged them down as he continued pounding into his mate's body.

"That's it Mate….Mark this Sesshomaru, let me hear your cries as only I can" He lowered his head so his eyes met hers as he continuously lifted and plunged his hips, driving himself into her as deep as he could, watching her fall apart beneath him. Rin's nails dug into his shoulders s she cried out, her hips lifted as her release coated his length, making it easier to slide into her faster and harder.

Sesshomaru growled and buried his face in her neck as his own hips stilled against her, his essence shooting into her welcoming body in bursts, he moved his hips gently, ensuring they both rode their releases out. He pulled from her and lay beside her, his eyes scanning her body to check for any injuries, satisfied when he found none.

Rin curled into him as his arm pulled her possessively towards him, he placed her head on his shoulder, running his hand through her hair before resting on her hip. He watched her sleep peacefully, 'My mate is as fierce as I am' he thought to himself.
