Hope looks at his shoulder wide-eyed; she was not used to being held by anyone.

She says breathing in his warm scent, "Lord Sesshomaru please, do not get my hopes up about finding a mate of my own. It will never happen for me."

He runs his fingers through her hair getting lost in her scent and he says, "You are too beautiful to stay alone."

She blushes as she feels him caress her body in a loving way.

He says in her ear caressing her ear with his warm breath, "I can make those doubts melt away if you let me."

He picks her up and puts her on his desk and kisses her neck tenderly trying to seduce her.

She holds onto him unsure what to say or do.
