After a largely sleepless night, Kagome woke up late the following morning. All she had thought about was Sesshomaru and his behaviour last night. Why had he left so abruptly?

It's true that she was nervous but him being in the same room as her discussing the bed, but his sudden departure wasn't what she had expected. Maybe he had already given up on her? Why did the idea bother her so much?

Because she was enjoying the attention he was giving her. She was going to have to be careful if she wanted her virginity still intact by the time she left his mansion. All she had to do was be strong and not give in to her desires. It was going to be hard but she was going to give it her best shot.

I'd better go get a shower, Kagome thought. She removed her night dress and covered herself with a towel and opened the door. She wished the bathroom was inside her room but unfortunately it wasn't.

She scanned the corridor not wanting anyone to see her in nothing but a towel before she walked out toward the bathroom.

She took her time in the shower, washed her hair and enjoying the feel of hot water on her skin. When she finished, she dried herself and decided to rush back to the safety of her room.

She opened the door to make a run for it only to collide with someone outside the bathroom door.

Weekends were going to be the worst, Sesshomaru decided. At least during the week, the days were filed by going to the office and the evenings spent catching up on the million and one things he needed to do. But Kagome's first Saturday in his mansion had him feeling like a caged tiger with nowhere to go.

His room was just next to hers, which made him have a sleepless night. If he wanted he would just go to her right now. But he restrained himself. In as much as he wanted her, she was still a guest in his home and he would treat her with some respect. He had already had a shower and was all dressed and ready to go have breakfast.

He collided with Kagome outside the bathroom and his blood pressure shot through the ceiling. She had no clothes on but a short towel which undid itself and fell due to the impact. He steadied her before letting his eyes roamed slowly over her body.

Long pale limbs still glistening with tiny beads of water, and hair streaming in rivulets over her shoulders to cling erotically to her pout breasts. His gaze fell between her legs.... How would he feel if he reached out and touched her there? Would she scream for him? The temperature in the corridor suddenly rose.

Claim her now! his beast wanted to take control again.

''Silence! This is not the time nor place. She is not ready for us... yet.''

''When will she be ready? As far as I can see she is ripe and ready to be plucked.''

''Soon. But I want her to submit to me, with all her being. Only then....''

''She is our soul mate, claim her now.'' his beast persisted.

''Claim her? I can't claim a human as my mate. I only want her body end of story. Don't get stupid ideas like that. She is only a toy, nothing more.''

''How long do you intend to lie to yourself? You must have felt it already. She is the one. She is the one we have been waiting for. Don't deny our mate just because she is human. She is a very strong woman, have you not noticed?''

''We'll continue this conversation later. I still have a naked woman in front of me that I have to deal with.'' Sesshomaru said his thoughts back to the woman standing in front of him.

''Cant you put something on?'' he snarled. It took all he had to be a gentla man.

''I was just on my way to do exactly that,'' she retorted, but her cheeks turned tones of red. She hadn't missed the sudden darkening of his eyes, nor the fleeting look of hunger that had crossed his face. '''If you wouldn't mind letting me pass.''

''Delighted,'' he said sarcastically, but even though he pressed himself against the wall, he could still feel the warmth emanating from her body.

''Thank you,'' she said, the close proximity making her only too aware of his raw masculinity, the rugged features, the muscular shafts of his thighs, which rippled through his jeans.

She picked up the towel, covered herself and made it to her bedroom. She shut the door behind her with a shaking hand, feeling the guilty sting of blood to her breasts and knowing that he wasn't immune to her, nor she to him. Deep down she despised herself for wanting him so much.

Sesshomaru was drinking his coffee in the dining room when she finished dressing and he looked up as she walked in. What in heaven's name was she wearing? She looked neat and sweet -astonishingly enough - extremely efficient. She was wearing a blue mini-skirt with a brown spaghetti top, which brought out the colour of her eyes. He fought for something to say when she gave him a bland smile.

''There's coffee in the pot. If you prefer to have some orange juice you can get it from the refrigerator. And here are some muffins and beacon. Help yourself to whatever you want.''

''Thanks.'' was all she said. She poured herself a glass of orange juice and sat down to eat in silence.

''So are you sulking?'' Sesshomaru murmured leaning forward only to be punished by the mesmerizing vision of her breasts gloriously outlined through the spaghetti strap.

Kagome looked up and frowned. ''I am not sulking.''

''Are you still mad that I got to see that sexy body of yours?'' he smirked. Her silence infuriated him. He wasn't used to women giving him the cold shoulder, he was used to them eating out of his hand. ''Are you still mad about that?''

Kagome gave him a chilly stare. Of course she was! He had seen her completely naked as the day she was born. It wasn't his fault that they collided but he wasn't supposed to look at her like she was a tasty meat that he couldn't wait to devour.

She forced herself to eat something thought it wasn't easy, not with Sesshomaru's long legs stretched out underneath the table, only a whisper away from hers. He noticed how neatly she avoided answering the question. ''I wouldn't mind another show of that body.'' he said.

Kagome stood up and left the table. He watched as she walked away from him and forced himself to stifle a groan. That skirt did nothing to disguise the high, hard curve of her bottom. He felt the stir of longing deep in his groin. He drank the last of his coffee and put the mug down. He had to find something to occupy his mind.

Once in her room, Kagome unpacked her things. She put her clothes in the closets and arranged everything the way she wanted. By the time she was through, evening was approaching fast. The growl of her stomach reminded her that she had not eaten anything since breakfast. She went down to the kitchen to look for something to eat.

''Are you hungry?'' a voice asked from behind her.

''Don't scare me like that!'' she turned around to face him. How did he manage to do that? She had not heard footsteps as he came into the kitchen.

''If you're scared then let me comfort you.'' he put his arms around her. She saw the way his eyes darkened and something deep inside her began to melt.

''Wh..what?'' she whispered as he stared down at her. Her lips trembled and he traced their shivering outline with the tip of his finger. He moved his finger to smooth the curve of her jaw and from there to her neck and then still to the swell of her rounded breast, and shaking uncontrollably, she let him.

''Kagome?'' his voice was very low.

''Hmm?''

''Are you hungry?'' he asked.

''Yes.'' she whispered.

''Me too. But not for food.''

''Sesshomaru...'' she swallowed, because his face was ablaze with hunger. If he wasn't hungry for food, what then?

''Eat something, Kagome, then we'll go somewhere.''

''Where are we going?''

''You will see!''

After she finished eating, she asked ''Should I change my clothes? I'm not sure whether these are the right clothes for where we are going since you won't tell me.''

''Don't worry. Your clothes are perfect for the occasion.'' The drove out. It was already dark by the time they reached their destination.

''The drive-in??'' Kagome asked surprised. She knew what it meant. She had only made a joke about wanting to make out and he had taken her seriously. Yet she wanted to make out at the drive-in.

''Yes. We will have lots of fun.'' he assured her his eyes still on the road.

Kagome wasn't sure what to do. The drive-in was already crowded as they looked for a parking place. The movie would probably start in about ten minutes. Sesshomaru maneuvered the car to the back of the lot, up close to where a border of trees kept anyone from parking behind him. A red Opel was to his right about four rows down, and there was no one to his left. It wasn't the best spot to see the screen, but then, he didn't care about that.

He turned to Kagome. ''Let the games begin.''

''Sesshomaru??'' she asked nervously.

''Hey, calm down. I haven't been able to stop thinking about.'' he said to ease the tension.

Now that was nice to hear. She knew that they would be terrific together and he intended to show her they'd be even better together sexually. But he had to move slowly with her. Kagome was new to this and the last thing she wanted was to feel used.

Sesshomaru caught her face and held it still for his kiss. At first the kiss was gentle and tentative that had the windows steaming up just minutes before the speaker came on and the screen lit up.

Ignoring the movie, he continued to kiss her, taking and giving pleasure until Kagome started panting in his arms. Then it became hard, full of need and fast leaving them both breathless.

Taking his cues from the way she moved against him, he slowly dragged his fingers over her shoulder, down her chest and across one stiffened nipple. Her loud gasp made him pause and he asked, ''Do you like this?''

''Yes.''

He shifted a little, releasing her long enough to move his seat back, then pulled her over the gear and onto his lap. Kagome clutched his shoulders, her eyes wide as he took her lips again.

A moan on the screen drew her attention. They both looked up. Kagome straightened, causing Sesshomaru to moan too, as her rounded behind pressed against him. ''What are they doing?'' She sounded breathless, fascinated and Sesshomaru stifled his impatience. He tried to focus on the movie.

''I'd call it heavy petting.''

Looking at him again, her expression devoid of any guile, she asked. ''Do you want to do that with me?''

His breath caught. ''Oh yeah. I want to touch you everywhere, Kagome.''

''I didn't know ...''

Sesshomaru stroked her mouth with a fingertip while Kagome put her hands on his chest. Her fingers spread on his chest and she gave him a small, curious caress, feeling his muscles, which Kagome knew were rock-hard in anticipation. He cupped her face and drew her closer. She felt his hard arousal pressing

''Do you want to touch me?''

Kagome knew exactly what he meant. ''I want to touch you but I've never... you know..... touched a guy there.''

''Are you still a virgin, Kagome?'' he asked.

''Yes. Are you disappointed?''

''No. I knew you were inexperienced but I never expected you to be a virgin. May I give you your first lesson?''

He didn't wait for her answer he took her hand and put it on his arousal. Kagome glanced back at the movie, watched intently for a moment then with the bottom lip caught between her teeth she curled her hand around him through his jeans. His entire body tightened and he cursed low.

''Does that please you?''

''Yes it does.''

''And this?'' She stroked tentatively, causing him to break out in a sweat.

''I'd like it more if you'd kiss me.'' Kagome kissed him hungrily.

The night air was balmy and warm so she asked without hesitation. ''Can you take off your shirt Sesshomaru, I want to look at you.''

''Only if you take off yours too.'' he suggested roughly.

Kagome shook her head. ''If I do, you'll probably get distracted and I won't get to what I want.''

''What is it you want, honey?''

''To touch you. To make you feel the same way you make me feel.''

His golden eyes were a dark glitter in the knight, watching her, calculating. Finally he nodded. ''All right. But I will get my turn.'' He adjusted his seat so that it was lying flat.

''We'll see.'' Sesshomaru's hand slid up the outside of her thigh, making her gasp and go still.

''Yeah,'' he growled. Moving before his fingers could make her forget her intent, Kagome shoved him flat then leaned over him until their noses almost touched. He caught her hips and help her still. His thumbs rubbed her waist gently, convincingly. There was no apology in his tone when he admitted., ''I want everything.''

''Oh, Sesshomaru.'' she leaned away. ''You say you want everything. Her fingers trailed over his cheek, down his throat to his chest. ''Well so do I. And right now, I want to touch you.'' She scooted back to sit near his knees and looked him over from his abdomen to the top of his head.

''You're a witch.'' He sounded hoarse and she could feel the tension in his muscles as he finally removed his shirt. Kagome spread her hands on his chest which was thoroughly trained, enjoying the feel of hot skin and solid muscle.

''Relax, Sesshomaru and tell me if I do anything wrong.'' The sounds of their combined breathing filled the car. ''I love your strong arms, how caring they are.'' She leaned down to kiss his collarbone, the hard rise of a pectoral muscle, one small nipple.

Sesshomaru gasped. ''I can't believe this.'' She couldn't either. She had never done this before but she wanted to try what she had seen on videos.

''Shhh,'' she told him. Her tongue glided over his nipple, earning her more gasps and the additional straining of his large frame. She inhaled his scent then had to admit, ''you smell good enough to eat.''

Her own body throbbed with sharp awareness, with need. Sesshomaru's hands, against her orders, tangled in her hair. He cradled her head, guiding her mouth over his flesh while murmuring what sounded like encouragements.

Inspired Kagome stroked him all over, from his rock-hard shoulders and taut abdomen, to his straining thighs - and then in-between. Sesshomaru's hips lurched, his fingers tightened. ''Kagome,'' he said, his voice shaking, ''This isn't wise - ''

Before, he had been so sure he would be able to handle it but now he didn't think he could. What was it about this woman that made him lose all his control? She was just like the women he had had before but somehow different. He didn't just want to make out but go all the way.

''You're so big.'' Kagome said touching him again.

Sesshomaru jerked away from her. His chest heaved, his gasping breaths were ragged. He pulled her down beside him and squeezed her close, his face in her throat, his body trembling. Seeing him like this, excited her unbearably. Kagome crooned to him, kissing his shoulder and rubbing her hands over his broad back.

She was overwhelmed with so many feeling, shaken with new awareness, finally admitted that she wanted to get to know this man better. He wanted to make love to her, she knew that. She wanted it too. But would it be enough when she wanted forever? When she wanted happy-ever-after?

Maybe, she thought, feeling the press of his warm mouth on her throat, tonight would be the best she'd ever get. Tonight would be all he could offer. She'd be a fool not to take what she could get.

''Let's go home.'' she said heart pounding.

''Anything you want, Kagome.'' Sesshomaru whispered. And he meant it.
