"How could I?" I cursed myself. "He's been in love with me all these years! He must think me a harlot." I nibbled on my bottom lip nervously as we made our way back to the party.

"Calm yourself, he is of little consequence," Sesshomaru replied icily.

"Of little consequence? Did you see the look on his face? I hurt him!" I felt tears sting my eyes as I met his hardened gaze. Shock filled me when he placed a hand on the side of my face and kissed me lightly.

"He will forgive you if he truly loves you," he said quietly, but I wasn't listening anymore. The effects of his kiss were all consuming. I leaned in and kissed him again to find the same effects. Before I knew it he had deepened the kiss and pressed me against the nearest wall. He stopped abruptly and looked down at me with hooded golden eyes. "If you wish to keep your purity, I suggest we return to the party now."

He released me and I backed away as regret lace my mood, "I forgot, you dislike humans."

"That does not mean I dislike you," he replied, grabbing my hand.
