Mating Season

Chastity

To protect yourself from being in someone's bed sounds so easy. It's not. It's really not.

"I like my women feisty. It makes my dominance over them all the more enjoyable. Keep it up and you will be tangled in my sheets faster than you can blink."

Kaneko was at a loss for words. She didn't know what to do. Those words kept repeating over in her mind. She couldn't stop thinking about it. Damn it! Those words... that look... it sent chills through her spine every time she thought about it. She would start getting aroused when that look would flash in her mind and she would try to hide it. However, Sesshomaru, when he was there, would chuckle lightly as if he remembered a joke. He can smell it. He can smell how bad he's made her fall, but he has to give her props. She's acted more submissive just to keep from remembering what he said. Even then, this woman was doing everything in her power to defy him. He said he preferred feisty women, right? A doormat must be the ultimate turnoff. She was stuck. Her motives only turned him on further.

Sesshomaru would have it to where she would be in close proximity, pretending to be minding his own business, and whenever she would turn her back, he would do light, teasing touches on her back and hips. She would subtly glare at him, but he would pretend nothing happened.

"Can you stop, please?" Kaneko had quietly hissed as she was reading, and Sesshomaru had been sitting quite close to her. "I can't read with you breathing down my neck." Well, it was more her ear since he was taller, but details, details.

"Would you prefer I kiss it?" Sesshomaru was as stoic as usual, save a hint of mirth in his watchful eyes. Kaneko, however, broke decorum and stared at him.

"No. I would not." Sesshomaru didn't say anything more and Kaneko returned to her book. She heard a small hum as his hands started to curl around her sides. "Lord Sesshomaru of the Western Lands, please, stop what you are doing." Sesshomaru still said nothing, but there was a very low chuckle that came from behind. Then, there was tongue... right on the shell of her ear. She squealed in shocked delight, nearly dropping her book. When was Sesshomaru this... playful? Had he always been like that?

"Something wrong? You smell a bit..." He licked the same spot, then blowing on it softly, making her shiver and moan, slapping her hands over her mouth. "aroused." Kaneko pulled away from him, book forgotten and grabbing her training clothes - the ones she wear around people.

"Why are you doing this?" Consequences were not considered. She walked out, into a changing room, came back, grabbed her tessen and jumped off into the forest. Sesshomaru was close behind, enjoying the smell of frustrated arousal. Kaneko was tempted to yell at him to go away, but she wasn't trying to attract him further. At this point, she figured, it didn't even matter. Besides, his own scent was starting to drive her a bit crazy. The stronger it was, the more intoxicated she was feeling. It wasn't until they had moved some distance from the castle that she stopped.

With a battle cry, she attacked with her tessen, moving with precision and all the annoyance of a bear awakened from hibernation too early. Sesshomaru dodged, silver hair swishing gracefully as he turned, grabbing her arm and pulling it behind her. Sesshomaru pressed a few kisses on her neck, humming in approval. He released her to try again and took her tessen, noting the patterns on it.

"Quite intricate for a captain of the Southern Navy." Kaneko was not showing surprise, even though it was obvious in her scent. She managed to take it back, tucking it away and deciding on hand to hand combat.

"How did you figure that out?" She had never told him about her military career, being told such things would make him disgusted. She made a strike with her right, which was blocked, and Sesshomaru grinned. Never a good sign. She was about to die this time right?

"You fight better than most court women. On the level of an adult human male." Damn. He pulled her closer, to his chest- where and when did he take his armor off?

"I haven't been able to land a single hit."

"You did better than most." Sesshomaru made several strikes of his own, Kaneko dodging with only a little trouble. He pinned her down one last time, picking up the faint scent of the sea, and kissing her neck and underneath her ears where it was strongest. Kaneko went somewhat limp, completely vulnerable to him. "Do you want to continue fighting? You'll end up underneath me over and over again."

"...Good point." It wasn't rough, but a slow, sensual dance where he dominated and made it so much sweeter. No matter what she tried, he would pull her in for another round and another until her legs protested the very idea of moving.

The next afternoon noon, she woke up fresh, clean and in his bed. He was nowhere to be found, but she had an idea to pay him back for all his teasing. Oh boy, she couldn't wait to see the look on his face!

Thanks for reading! This chapter is set directly after "Inadequate". I'm ending it here. I lost all motivation to write any more and I don't want to give you trash.
