The heat was oppressive. Normally, Kagome was fine with hotter weather, but the humidity was miserable. The air felt sticky in her mouth as she breathed, her skin slick with sweat.
"We should have picked a better meeting spot," Sango complained, futilely fanning herself with a hand. She looked down at her black tank top. "I should have worn a lighter color too." Kagome glanced down at her watch. She was late. Beside her, Sango seemed to pick up on her impatience. "You sure it was her? Because I'm pretty sure she died or something."
"It was her." Her eyes locked on an approaching person, the red hair unmistakable even from this distance. "See?"
"Well I'll be damned," Sango muttered as they hopped off the short stone wall they had been sitting on. "Ayame! Where the hell have you been?"
The girl was beaming as she gave them both a quick hug. She held up a hand, revealing the ring on her finger. "I got married!"
Both Sango and Kagome were shocked. "You did?" Kagome asked, not quite believing it.
"I thought you two were going to wait until after college," Sango asked before she could.
Ayame's smile diminished a bit. "We were, but things happened…" Both girls waited expectantly for her to continue. "Clan stuff," she said, brushing it off. "Anyways, the whole thing was almost called off. Kouga had to stay and help straighten things out, so he petitioned the school about his classes. My family was going to force me to drop out, but Kouga said he wouldn't take a non-educated woman as his wife." She held out her hands. "So here I am."
"I saw you a few times on campus."
"I was, but since Kouga wasn't here with me, I had people from both families watching me to make sure I didn't do anything 'indecent.'" She blushed slightly. "Sorry, but if they found out I was friends with all you…"
Sango smiled. "Nah. I understand. What about now?"
"Kouga's back at the house. A bunch of people want him to take over as clan head now that we're married, but he says he won't even consider it until he's out of school."
"Man. I can't believe you're married."
"I know! It all happened so fast too. I would have been back sooner, but I went into heat the week of the wedding, so it was pushed back."
Kagome wrinkled her nose. "How was that?"
"Terrible. They say it's tolerable when you mate at least once or twice a day, but because I wasn't married…"
"Ouch," Sango said. A grin formed as she patted the girl on the shoulder. "Hey, at least you're good for another year, right?"
"Small consolation," she said matching her grin. "So what about you? The group survive our absence?"
Sango rolled her eyes. "Barely. Doofus over here almost brought it tumbling down."
"Inuyasha?"
"Was it that obvious?"
"It had to happen sooner or later," Ayame said. "He still hanging around, or is he gone now?"
"He's still around," Kagome said, feeling a need to defend herself. "We managed to get all that stuff sorted out, so it should be smooth sailing from now on."
Ayame looked suspicious. "Is it? Because it was supposed to be a non-issue in the first place."
"You don't have to worry," Sango said, coming to her aid. "Inuyasha knows how things work around here. Besides, he had a foursome with us a couple days ago."
"Kiara and you two I'm guessing?"
"Yeah."
"Nice, how was it?"
Kagome and Sango shared a look. "It was good," Kagome said.
"A few missteps, but it all turned out okay," Sango answered at the same time.
"That's good." Ayame rubbed her hands together. "To be honest, I'm excited to be back into things again."
Sango tilted her head. "Aren't you married now?"
"Yes. About fucking time too. I'm finally not limited to anal sex anymore." She grinned as she looked at Kagome. "I'm already making plans to borrow Inuyasha from you for a night. Kouga, him, and me for as long as physically possible. Going to be one hell of a night."
"Kouga's okay with it?" Kagome asked, excited about the possibility of Kouga returning to the group. While she was perfectly fine with the three now, it never hurt to have some more options open. Besides, she shared similar thoughts with Ayame about a night with Inuyasha and Kouga.
"I don't give him a choice in the matter. I've pretty much been hopping on any dick I can get the past few days." She stretched her arms in the air, causing her shirt to ride up and reveal some skin. Dropping them back to her sides, she took a deep breath. "I mean, we talked about going monogamous. Spent a week in Fiji too for our honeymoon. It was nice, being proper husband and wife," she said with a smile. "I mean, sooner or later he would probably have to mate with some other women for clan purposes, but those don't count."
"So what changed?" Kagome asked. She always found Kouga's and Ayame's relationship weird, but in a fascinating way.
"We tried it, but I could tell he found the sex bland. I tired just about everything I could to excite him. I even tried roleplaying the adulterous wife, making up stories about my exploits." She shook her head. "I guess he's not interested in fantasy."
"Sounds rough," Sango said softly.
Ayame shrugged. "I wish it had worked out how I wanted, but we do what we can for the ones we love. If Kouga want's a cum-guzzling slut as a wife, that's who I'll be." She looked between the two, obviously not liking their expressions. "Don't get me wrong, it's not like I'm totally opposed to it. It's just I would like to be able to excite my husband without screwing other guys to do it." She shook her head. "But that's enough about my marriage. You two should be happy because we are back in! When are you having your next get together?"
"We're actually going to my family's beach house in a few days."
"What? That sounds amazing!"
"You are more than welcome to join us. Plenty of room still on the plane."
"Really? Wow. I'll ask Kouga. We should be able to go. The guys coming too?"
Kagome nodded. "If you two come, everyone but Kikyo will be coming. I have no idea what happened to her. She just kinda… left."
Ayame shrugged. "She's like that thought. I'm sure she'll be back come fall."
"Maybe," Kagome said with a shrug. She was glad Ayame was back, and not just because it added numbers to their group. "But why don't we get out of this heat? It's miserable out."
oOOOo
The day of departure was stressful. Getting everyone together. Arranging transportation to the airport. Getting them all into the airport and through security. Getting everyone on the plane. Kagome was exhausted and they hadn't even left the ground yet.
"We will be taking off shortly Miss Higurashi," the pilot told her, glancing over his shoulder.
"Thank you Matthew," she said before leaving the cockpit, closing the door behind her. The others sat in the plush leather chairs of the private jet her grandfather had graciously lent them.
"Man, it pays to have rich friends!" Miroku said, sinking back into his chair as he cupped his hands behind his head. "I could get used to this." He glanced around. "Is this everyone?"
Kagome settled into her own seat. Whether by intention or luck, it just so happened to be next to Inuyasha. She knew Kouga and Ayame would sit next to each other, but she honestly expected Kirara to sit beside Inuyasha. Instead, she was sitting next to Hojo. "Expecting a plus one or something?"
"No, just… where's the hot, slutty stewardesses?" Beside him, Sango gave him a swat. "What? I thought this was going to be the complete fantasy experience."
Kagome just grinned. "Sorry, but this isn't that type of flight." Though, she wondered if this plane had seen that sort of thing before. She was sure Matthew would know. Whether he would tell her if she asked was another story. She might have been the granddaughter of his boss, but her grandfather would have never hired someone in his position if he was loose-lipped. From clandestine trips to meet potential business partners to housing sensitive meetings, this plane held many secrets.
Miroku scoffed, snubbing his nose at her. "Vacation. Ruined."
Ignoring him and the commotion Sango was causing chastising him, Kagome looked over at Inuyasha. "Feeling okay?"
"Hmm?" he said, looking away from the window.
"You look nervous."
"First time flying," he admitted sheepishly.
She settled down in her seat, fastening her seatbelt. "Nothing to it really. Once we are up in the air, you hardly know you're moving."
It didn't seem to calm him down, but he nodded and looked out the window. She took a deep breath as the plane began taxiing. She was looking forward to this trip, but there was something in the back of her mind bugging her. Kagome was thankful for her grandfather's help putting this all together, but it was his words that haunted her. While it was embarrassing he knew about her sex life, she wasn't too surprised now that she thought about it. He was always a worry-wort, and that only increased once she had the brush up against the crime ring. It made sense that he was keeping tabs on her. He knew and he hadn't taken any overt action or informed her mother. Those were the only things that mattered. Still, her grandfather seemed to know about Inuyasha and have some understanding of their relationship. Granted, without knowing the details, he probably assumed they were dating secretly. Maybe that's why he was talking about consequences. It made sense. One, she was keeping it from her mother. Two, from out outsider perspective, Kagome was living a life similar to the one that got her in trouble in the first place.
Regardless it wasn't an immediate problem – if it was even a problem at all. Pushing it aside, Kagome reached over and grabbed Inuyasha's hand, giving it a comforting squeeze. She had a vacation to enjoy.
oOOOo
"You know what I just thought of?" Miroku said suddenly, loud enough to interrupt the other conversations going on. He waited a few seconds for everyone to look over at him before continuing with his revelation. "This is our chance! We can all become official members of the mile-high club!"
Beside him, Sango rolled her eyes. "Why am I not surprised you would be the first to mention it."
He grinned. "Ah, but I wasn't the first to think of it!" Sango's face went red as she quickly looked away.
"Actually, I'm already a member," Ayame said, holding up her hand.
"Is there anything you haven't done?" Miroku said, crossing his arms. "Threesomes, orgies, now this. Man. Rich people."
"Actually, I'm not a member," Kouga said in his normal nonchalant way. Ayame had an 'oops' expression as she grinned stupidly and shrugged.
"It was a long flight back from Fiji. I had to keep myself busy somehow."
"That sounds like an amazing story," Miroku said, turning in his chair.
"Mm-hm. One that I might tell you later."
He clicked his tongue in disappointment. "Boo." His attention turned to the lavatory at the back of the plane as a grin formed. "I figure we have about two hours left. With eight of us, we should have about 15 minutes each. Eh, doable."
"Less than that actually," Kagome said. "We should be landed in about two hours. That means we'll be dropping altitude."
"Don't encourage him," Sango said with a sigh.
"Encourage him? I think it's a great idea. We'll have to get a start on things quickly if everyone is going to get a turn." Kagome turned to Inuyasha as the others discussed their own interest in the prospect. "Well, what do you say? Want to get your membership card?"
"With you?" he asked hesitantly.
Kagome thought for a moment. She had just been asking if he was going to participate, not if he was interested in doing it with her. She had figured she would do it with Miroku, since Sango seemed on the fence about it. Her imagination took off as she saw herself in that tiny little lavatory going at it with Miroku. Their awkward movements as the bumbled around trying to get leverage and comfort. All the while Inuyasha would be right outside, listening to their ruffles and sounds of lovemaking. She felt guilty at how excited that last part made her.
"You don't want to?" Inuyasha asked, mistaking her silence for rejection.
"No!" she said quickly, smiling guiltily at him. "No, I'd love to. We should. Together."
His eyes narrowed. "You had something else in mind, didn't you?"
Kagome could have lied, but she had no real reason to. Inuyasha had chosen to stay out of his own volition. "Kind of, but that's fine." She looked over to where Miroku and Sango were talking. "My imagination just got the best of me."
"Inuyasha!" Kirara said, leaning against the back of their seats. "Want to get our membership cards?"
Kagome found herself surprised by the girls offer. She had just expected her and Hojo to group up. Either that or her try and fight for Miroku. Instead, Inuyasha was the first she asked. She found herself looking over at Inuyasha expectantly, probably more interested in hearing his answer than Kirara. Since when have these two been so close?
"Uh, sure," Inuyasha said, giving her an apologetic look.
"Great! We should go before someone else beats us to it."
Inuyasha stood and scooted past the stunned Kagome. He had been asking her, yet the speed at which he accepted Kirara's offer… As Miroku complained to Sango about her waiting too long, Kagome sat and listened to Kirara's giggles as they thumped around in the tiny room. The giggles turned to moans as the thumping increased in frequency and strength. Instead of getting off knowing Inuyasha was listening to her, she was being subjected to it. Yet long after the two embarrassed lovers exited and Kagome was awkwardly half-sitting, half-leaning against the sink with legs spread, it still frustrated her. She felt bad for Hojo for having a distracted partner, but he did the best he could and she enjoyed herself. Yet when she left the lavatory a new member of the mile-high club, she felt like she had missed the ride to cloud nine.
oOOOo
"This place is gorgeous," Ayame said, awe in her voice as the group entered the house. The entire side facing the beach was glass, a wood deck extending around the entire home. Towards the corner, the deck extended out to the beach with stairs down the sharp embankment. The property itself was private, situated in a wide alcove. Thought it was technically private property, the locals knew about its existence and used it to avoid the crowds of the tourist beaches to the north and south. So long as they avoided the house, her grandfather didn't seem to mind the people and therefore never enforced the signs warning people to stay out.
The home was fully furnished and stocked with various foods and alcohol. She had been here a few times and hadn't seen this much booze stocked up. She was certainly expecting them to party a bit, but this seemed excessive for a two-week trip.
"I guess we claim rooms then?" Sango asked, looking around in awe.
"There are a few down here on the first level. More up on the second," Kagome said, dropping her luggage near the wall out of the way. "The living room here also has folding beds and such and we have hammocks as well if you want to sleep outside." She looked around as the others stood around awkwardly. "Do we want to keep the AC on, or open windows and doors?"
She got a few of each, but AC seemed to win.
Sango, who had been championing for opening windows, sighed and conceded defeat. "I suppose it would be nice having a place to cool down in."
"Is there any point to claiming a room?" Miroku asked as he flopped down into one of the cushy chairs in the living room. "I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not planning to sleep with the same person every night."
"We should still have places to put our stuff." Kagome did a quick head count of the number of rooms. "If I recall correctly, we should have enough rooms so all but two have their own rooms." She looked at Kouga and Ayame. "You and Kouga can have the master room."
"What?" Ayame said, shaking her head. "No way. We are guests. You have the master."
"You sure?"
"Yes. Kouga and I will just leave our stuff here in the living room. I figure we'll be sleeping in other rooms anyways."
Sango spoke up next. "Does it really matter which rooms though? Just throw your stuff in a room and remember where it is when you need it."
"Well I was thinking if you brought anyone here, it would be better if everyone just had their own room." There was a stunned silence as everyone looked at her. "What?" she asked, feeling uncomfortable.
"You do mean people outside the group, right?" Sango asked, sounding taken aback.
"Yeah." She looked around at their wide-eyed faces. "We are on vacation. Not five minutes away is two huge tourist destinations. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm not going to stay here the entire time. The nightlife is amazing."
"Fuck yeah! I'm in!" Ayame said, throwing a fist in the air.
"We are on vacation! The only rule in this house is to have fun!" The girls and Miroku seemed much more enthusiastic than Inuyasha, Kouga, and Hojo, but Kagome was smiling. She was sure everyone was going to have a blast here. She knew she would.
oOOOo
After luggage was sorted out and stored in rooms, Kagome changed into her swimsuit. She had been torn about buying it. She had wanted something more traditionally sexy, like a bikini. She had tried this suit on for no particular reason. It did nothing to her chest, even if it did accent her figure a little more. Still, Inuyasha's reaction was what sold it for her. Even some that pushed her comfort zone had gotten lackluster reactions from him. Now that she had changed and revealed it to the wider world, she was glad to see Inuyasha's eye was excellent. Miroku gave her a catcall when she walked out of her room. Even Kouga's gaze seemed to linger on her. It made her feel good having all the attention on her, even for a brief moment.
She left the boys to their own devices as she grabbed a towel and sunscreen and headed for the beach. The other girls were right behind her. The beach was completely deserted today, which suited Kagome just fine. Her grandfather probably had people tell the locals to avoid the area for the next few weeks while they prepared the house for them. The girls took turns lathering themselves in sunscreen and within a few minutes, they were officially enjoying their vacation.
"I'm never going to get the sand out of my fur," Kirara complained as she rested on her towel.
"Yeah, but at least you don't have to worry about getting sunburn anywhere but your face," Ayame said beside her.
"Maybe, but I also have zero chance of getting a tan so…"
"Speaking of tans," Sango said quietly. "I wonder if any of the guys have a thing for tan lines."
Kagome opened her eyes and sat up. "You know, that's a good point," she said, looking down at her swimsuit. She really liked it, but it would leave a weird C shaped tan line on her top, side, and bottom. Standing, she quickly stripped out of her suit, laying it in the sand next to the towel. She got a whistle from Sango and Ayame as Kirara looked at her in surprise. "Hand me the sunblock please," she said, holding out a hand towards Sango.
"You got it," she said, handing her the bottle. "Definitely don't want to get burned like that."
"Fuck it. I'll do it too," Ayame said, following Kagome's example. "Where else will I be able to go about naked like this?"
"Well you two ladies have fun. Me? I'll stay somewhat clothed, thank you," Sango said, settling back against her towel. Tossing the bottle to Ayame, Kagome laid back on her towel. Closing her eyes, she set out to enjoy the heat of the sun.
oOOOo
Inuyasha had to say, he was having fun. While the girls headed down to the beach, he flipped through the channels. It had been a long time since he had movie channels. Miroku and Hojo were looking through some sites planning on places they would go to during the week.
"Inuyasha! They have that knight place!" Miroku exclaimed, sounding like a little kid.
"Knight place?"
"Yeah! The one where they serve you dinner and put on that medieval show with jousting and stuff."
"Have we done that before?" he asked, trying to think back.
"Yeah. Remember my dad drove us like, seven hours to go see it? We stayed at that hotel and we were happy because we got our own room?"
Suddenly, the memory clicked. "Oh yeah! That was the summer before the accident." He had totally forgotten about that. Now that the memory came rushing back, he is smile faded. "Wait a second." He was silent a few moments as more details began to surface. "Why did we get our own hotel room again?" The realization hit him like a ton of bricks. "Oh God no."
"Wait, you didn't know?" Miroku said, surprised. "Your mom was around all the time."
"I just thought it was because we were such good friends. Oh man. My childhood is ruined forever."
Miroku seemed a bit embarrassed. "That's my entire childhood man. I think I had a new 'mom' every week or so. At least your mom gave a shit about me." He grinned. "She got pissed at me a few times." He was laughing now. "Remember that time I brought that snake I found to your house?"
Inuyasha was laughing too. "How could I forget? I couldn't tell if she was going after the snake or you."
"I don't think it mattered to her at that point. Man, I had never seen her so angry at me."
"So I just got out of the kitchen," Hojo said, interrupting their trip back in time. "We have some really high quality meat in there and I remember Kouga saying something about a wicked ass grill out back."
"BBQ?" Miroku said, tuning in.
"That's what I'm thinking. Beer and BBQ to official kick things off." Hojo held his finger to his nose. "Not it."
"Not it," Miroku said quickly, coping the move.
"Not it!" Kouga yelled from somewhere else in the house.
Inuyasha was still trying to figure out what was going on when it hit him. "Damn it," he muttered, sinking lower in the couch.
"Cheer up Inuyasha. You'll figure it out eventually." Something told Inuyasha his fortune wasn't about to change any time soon.
oOOOo
Inuyasha was taking his dinner prep seriously. He got a recipe off the internet and got everything ready. By the time the girls finally wondered in from the beach, he had things relatively prepared to go out on the grill. Hojo had felt a little bad and took care of starting the grill, but it was otherwise up to Inuyasha to cook everything. It was probably for the best because the others were going through beers quickly.
"Smells delicious," Kagome said, stopping by while he slaved over the heat. Even though the sun had mostly set and the air was cooling down, it was still decently hot outside. Fortunately there was a nice breeze going off the ocean. This was his first time by the ocean he could remember and it felt relaxing just listening to the roar of distant waves. Then there was the sizzling of meat and veggies on the grill.
"Should be ready in a bit," he said, flipping some of the meat and making sure they were all lathered in sauce. He had to admit, getting everything prepared had been a lot of fun. Maybe my life's calling is to be a chef. Still, as fun as it was, he had seen enough cooking channel shows to know professional level cooking was not in his future.
Kagome tipped her head back, finishing the beer in her bottle. "Want me to grab you one?"
He shook his head. "I have water here," he said as he held up his glass before taking a drink.
She sighed. "You and alcohol."
"Me and alcohol? Me? I remember what happened last time we all got drunk."
Grinning, she nodded. "How could I forget? The morning after was terrible. Totally worth it though. We should all do it again. Maybe get Ayame in there too."
Inuyasha wrinkled his nose. "I think I'll pass."
"What, you don't want your own harem?"
"Eh. Too much work."
"Aww. You're no fun." She looked over her shoulder to where the others were in a small group talking. "Anyways, thanks for doing this. I know it's supposed to be a vacation and all…"
"I would hold off on thanking me until you taste it. No promises."
She giggled. "I'm sure it'll be fine."
"Your faith in me is welcomed. I hope I can live up to it." He smiled, poking at a chunk of meat. "Besides, I'm having fun. Cooking is actually oddly relaxing. It's almost like building a model in a way. Step by step, working and building up to the finished project you can enjoy." Kagome was staring at him when he looked up. "What?"
"Never heard cooking compared to models before. Watch talking like that around Sango. She'll tease you for being a nerd," she said with a teasing smile.
"Well she can suck my dick for all I care."
Kagome laughed. "Oh, I'm sure she would. You know, if it turns out you like this whole cooking thing, you should totally cook for me."
Inuyasha laughed, but stopped when he realized she was being serious. "Wait, really?"
"Yeah! I have a complete kitchen at home I barely use. It would be nice to have non-take out."
"Hmm. What do I get out of this?"
"Home cooked meals for free?" He rubbed his chin like he was considering it. Really, he was already in. The opportunity to have dinner with Kagome, alone? Regardless of how she felt about him, he wasn't going to miss an opportunity like this. "Okay," she said, taking his silence as a cue for her to up her payment. "I am more than happy to pay for your services."
"I could always use more spending money."
"I was thinking more in line of paying you with my body."
He forced himself to frown. "Isn't that prostitution?"
"Hey, if it gets me better quality dinners, I'll gladly spread them." She grinned. "Well? What do you say?" she asked, holding out her hand. "Do we have a deal?"
He looked down at her offered hand and took it. "Deal."
She smiled. "Great." She started to back away. "I guess the first payment starts tonight…" With a teasing wink, she turned and headed back to the others. After a few minutes, Miroku swung by.
"What's up with you?"
"What?" Inuyasha said, looking up from the grill.
"You're smiling like an idiot. This after Kagome was over here talking?"
"It's not like that," Inuyasha said. "I know where things stand and I'm not going to push things. That doesn't mean I can't improve on what I can have." Miroku raised an eyebrow in question, but Inuyasha remained silent on his new agreement with Kagome. Maybe he would understand, but Inuyasha was doubtful. He would undoubtedly say Inuyasha was rocking the boat again, and that this time, someone would fall out. Inuyasha didn't see it that way. It wasn't like she was saying she wasn't going to stop going around with other guys, it's just that she would be with Inuyasha much more regularly. Besides, there is always the hope that maybe, just maybe…
"Ah," Inuyasha said as Miroku turned to walk away. He motioned to Miroku to come closer. Nodding, he walked around the wide grill to stand next to Inuyasha. "I wanted to ask you earlier, but it was hard to be away from everyone."
"What's up?"
"Are things cool between Ayame and Kouga? I mean, they are married now and all and I know you have that thing because of your dad."
"'Thing?'"
"You know what I mean."
Miroku sighed. "I know, and yes, I'm okay with it."
"Really?" Inuyasha said, surprised. "You seemed to be avoiding them."
"I was for a bit, but then the more I thought about it, the more I started to realize it was a culture thing, and we should respect other cultures. That's the big thing now, right?"
Inuyasha flipped more of the meat, moving the ones that were done to the cooler side of the grill. It was just about time to call people to start eating – which needed to happen sooner rather than later the way they were drinking beer. "How so?"
"Well, it's not like they had a choice in it. It was their clans that set them up."
"Yeah, but Ayame loves Kouga."
"I know, but I somehow doubt the two would have gotten married if their clans didn't demand it."
"Yeah. Kouga shows emotion sometimes, but it's hard to get a read on how he really feels about her." He looked over at Miroku. "Still. That's a bit of a stretch."
"It might be, but I can live with it." He shook his head. "Even still, I can't believe someone would want their wife running around like that." He shrugged. "But if that's what makes them happy…" Slapping Inuyasha's shoulder, he gripped it before releasing it. "So don't you worry about me. I'll be fine."
"Sure." Inuyasha looked down at the grilled meat. "Might as well call everyone here. Looks like it's ready."
Miroku grinned. "Fantastic. I'll call them over and grab another beer."
oOOOo
Inuyasha felt better than he had in a long while. Everyone praised his meal. Even he found it to be better than he expected. Of course, the downside was that they now wanted him to cook every night – at least when they didn't have carryout or pizza. So after a night of good food and relaxing conversation, everyone headed for bed early. Inuyasha wasn't the only one tired out by the flight and it would take a bit to become acclimated to the heat. True to her word, Kagome joined him in bed. With her sandwiched between the bed and him, Inuyasha watched as she writhed in pleasure. She seemed content to let him lead tonight, which was a nice change of pace. While he could hear the passionate cries of the other house guests as they enjoyed a quick, wild romp before bed, he took his time and truly enjoyed the moment. For her part, Kagome seemed to enjoy the more tender touch. Inuyasha seemed to have tapped into a wellspring of energy. Without the rapid hammering, he kept slow, steady thrusts that elicited tiny whimpers and moans from her. Not to mention he got to examine her face in detail, absorbing every tiny expression of pleasure that crossed her face. He adjusted himself accordingly. When he did something she really seemed to enjoy, he did it more often. The result was astounding. He had barely hit his stride and she was already hitting her first orgasm. Again and again he brought her to a slow orgasm, enjoying the way her face lit up in pleasure. When he was finally done, Kagome was a gasping mess of raw nerves. She hardly moved as he pulled away from her, cleaning up and joining her in bed.
"That. Was. Amazing."
He grinned. "Glad you enjoyed it."
She turned her head to face him. "I guess slow and steady has its advantages." Leaning over, she kissed him briefly. "I guess I found another thing to do with you."
"With me?"
She nodded. "I can't see myself doing something like that with say, Miroku." She wrinkled her nose, giggling softly. "God, I don't think I could stand having him look at me like that." She shivered as if something was crawling along her skin.
Inuyasha let out a confused chuckle. "Like what?"
"Like you love me." Inuyasha felt his breath catch in his throat. "Relax Inuyasha. I understand. I know it's going to take time. You're here regardless. That's all that matters."
He nodded, but didn't trust himself to speak. Kagome snuggled up against him, mewling softly as she did so. "You're so warm," she said softly. She didn't resist when he wrapped his arms around her.
A few minutes later, he trusted himself enough to speak. "You said 'another thing.'"
"Hmm?" she said, like she had been on the verge of going to sleep.
"You said you found another thing to do with me."
"Ah, yes." She shifted a bit in his arms. He loosened them, letting her look up at him with those gorgeous eyes of hers. "The threesomes of course."
"Pretty sure you have those all the time."
"Yeah, but not with two guys. I decided that I'm only going to do those with you - the dp portion that is."
He wasn't sure what to say to that. "Uh… thanks?" He frowned. "Any reason why?"
She cuddled back up against him, her voice muffled against his chest. "It just wouldn't feel right otherwise."
Long after she was asleep, Inuyasha was still thinking on what she had told him. On one hand, he was overjoyed. Their relationship was clearly advancing, but whether it was in the right direction or not was another matter. He had worried a bit that she wouldn't like tonight, but it had ended better than he expected. Yet it was still clear that he was no closer to his goal than when he had started.
Don't worry about it Inuyasha. Just enjoy what you can take before it's all gone. He took a deep breath. The little voice was right. In this moment, he was content. He should enjoy the moment while he could, completely and to the fullest. After all, he had a feeling this moment was fleeting. Closing his eyes, he listened to Kagome's soft breathing as he drifted off to sleep.
oOOOo
