Chapter 10
Maggie snuck into the apartment, seeing that the lights were off now and Josh was asleep. It was silly that she should stay outside in her car for a good half hour just waiting for him to go to bed. Moving sleekly through the living room (years of silent reconusis in her various foster homes was finally paying off) she tried to remember exactly how it looked during the day, stepping over a coffee table here, around a chair there and…
Out of nowhere a black furry object ran at her, curling through her heeled feet.
She screamed.
Sesshoumaru's head shot up at the sound of her car. Rin was home, but there was something wrong. He couldn't here the sound of her humming. For the past few days, whenever she came home she was humming some infernal ningen song, but today she was silent as she closed the car door and made the uphill trek to her apartment. Her head was down, and through the open window Sesshoumaru caught the scent of her tears.
He frowned as she entered the kitchen and hung up her windbreaker with a deep sigh. Gliding through the open door, he walked up behind her silently and wrapped his arms around her small waist. She stiffened for a moment, surprised, but soon relaxed back against him, uttering a soft "Hello."
"What's wrong koishi?" His deep voice was muffled as he began to nuzzle her neck, pausing at his mark to give it a few licks, making her head roll back onto his shoulder as she moaned. His hold on her tightened.
"I can't tell you if you keep doing that." Her husky reply drifted to his ears and he stopped immediately. Rin moaned in disappointment, but made no attempt at speech.
"Well koi?"
Rin shook her head. She had been using his affection in the hopes that he would continue and would forget something was wrong. An idol hope. She couldn't tell him about the picture, it was too embarrassing. For one reason or another, telling her Fluffy-kun about the portrait she had painted of him in depiction of a murdered king didn't seem like something very romantic anymore.
"No?" His tone should have warned her. "Then I will drag it from you!" Without warning, Sesshoumaru lifted her with one arm about her waist, pressing her up against his body as he walked backward out of the kitchen. Shrieking, Rin pounded at his arm, kicking wildly. His laughter rolled through the small apartment as he carried her, pout and all, to their room, throwing her on the bed.
Rin gazed up at him, dazed eyes and frown in place. His weight settled atop her and she wiggled, giggling and shaking from head to toe as her fingers found the sensitive skin of her inner elbow. He teased her mercilessly, nipping her ear lobe, barely rubbing the skin of her arms and hips with the tips of his claws and licking her neck until finally, breathless and hopelessly aroused, she gave in.
"Alright, alright! But you'll laugh at me." She blushed at the look he sent her. Head resting on her belly, clawed fingers gently rubbing her trembling sides, golden eyes watching her through dark eye lashes, it was no wonder that almost everyone (or every woman) in the theater group had stared her first day back at work, when he had insisted that "No mate of his would dare leave their bower without him."
"Eto…" That was not just her voice, that…that…purring thing!
"I'm waiting Rin." Inside, Sess was dancing at the effect he had on her. Her eyes had turned a glassy deep chocolate and her rosy lips were slightly parted while her ample chest heaved wondrously at his challenge.
He shifted his weight subtlety, but just enough that his straining member brushed against her calf, making her moan and roll her head back, eye tightly closed. The tease!
"It's really nothing!" She squeaked, gasping for breath when his hand found a very…sensitive spot somewhere below her collarbone. "Ok, IpaintedapictureofyouanditwassoldandIreallywanteditbutnowit'sgoneandI'msoangrybutthere'snothingIcando." Her rushed confession was enough to knock him over, were that he wasn't already laying on top of her.
Deep chuckles raked his body as he shook on her stomach. She was too much. The innocence of her love for him had touched him to his soul and this new confession was only sweeter. That she had thought he would scold her for such an action as to paint him in tribute both offended and pleased him. This was only more proof of her devotion to him, and though he laughed, Sesshoumaru could feel more of the ice surrounding his heart melt because of it.
