A/N: Sorry I was so late posting this chapter but I hope you all like it and review please.
Warning: Sesshomaru is very OOC in this chapter!
~.~Beautiful Beginnings~.~
In the weeks that followed the night Sess and Rin almost made love, they behaved so much more differently with each other.
Rin smiled to herself as she stood over the stove in their kitchen making pancakes and frying sausages for her and her husband. This weekend Sess did not have to go out of town and Nori and the gang were spending the weekend at Inu Taisho and Izayoi's home. That left her and Sesshomaru alone for the whole weekend together.
Rin began to hum softly to herself as she thought about her husband doing God knows what in their bedroom. She had awaken to him smiling down at her while tickling a tracing her nose, and he'd looked at her with so much passion in his eyes it caused her cheeks to burn bright red.
Rin was mesmerized by Sesshomaru Takahashi. He was so romantic and tender with her. At night he'd run her bath and sit on the edge of the tub wringing a sponge filled with water across her back, and when they lay together tangled in each other's arms at night, he'd tell her folklore stories from the fuel era of Japan.
She would listen to his sultry voice intently, hanging on to his every word in complete awe, and when he told her the stories she imagined he looked like he did that day when he and his father had gone sparing.
Rin imagined him holding a sword in his hands looking powerful, beautiful, and frightening to his opponent but always he'd be victorious. What she wouldn't give to go back in time and live by his side.
She wondered what kind of woman she would have been to him. Would she have been rebellious, disobedient, and defiant to her alpha mate or would she have been haughty, docile, and submissive following his every command with sheer delight just because he gave the orders? She would listen to his stories and daydream about the things she imagined he'd seen. She even dreamed of what Inu Taisho and Inuyasha looked like back then and if his brother fought with reckless abandon just like his use of words.
Sesshomaru would tickle and tease her and sometimes she'd pretend to get angry and not speak to him knowing that silence wouldn't last long. Sometimes they'd sit together on their balcony looking out at the enchanting landscape of their backyard and Sess would read poetry to her. He occasionally would whisper the words ever so lightly in her ears causing delightful shivers to stream down her spine.
There were times when the three of them would play games together. Sesshomaru taught Nori how to play chess and they all would play Monopoly and Go Fish, and when Nori had been put to bed, Sess taught her how to play poker but he promised to teach her only if they played strip poker. He'd said it was payback for what she'd dared him to do in Vegas and wouldn't you know there she sat at the kitchen table night after night naked in front of him as the day she was born.
He would smile as his eyes danced seductively over her God given curves and she would sit beet red in the face as he ravished her with those golden crystal enchanting orbs of his. It wasn't until a few days ago that he started to lose his clothing as well and last night she'd gotten her revenge as he sat in front of her naked in all of his glory.
Yes their developing relationship was beautiful and romantic. It was more than Rin ever thought Sesshomaru could be to her. He'd give her massages and tease her skin with his soft lips when she'd gotten home from work. He'd whisper the sweetest most beautiful words in her ear but he had yet to make love her and Rin wanted her husband desperately. He made her body ache for him and she knew he felt the same way, she could see it in his eyes.
She'd sit in his lap at her vanity after her bath and his shower and he'd brush her hair using gentle strokes while planting delicate kisses on her shoulders and she loved every moment she spent with him.
Rin never imagined her life would turn out the way it had. She actually had a whirlwind romance with her husband of all people. She had the kind of life she'd only read about in romance books, and she was happy, truly happy, with Sesshomaru.
Rin continued to hum to herself lost in thought about that happy life when she felt a pair of warm strong arms envelope her waist. She took a deep sighing breath and then inhaled his masculine scent.
'My mate Sesshomaru', she thought to herself.
She smiled and leaned back against him and he nuzzled her ear making her giggle in response.
"Good morning my beautiful humming bird", he whispered against her cheek before placing a chaste kiss on the apple of it.
"Good morning alpha", she breathed out.
"I don't care how many times you say that, I will never tire of hearing it tumble from your sweet lips Lady Rin", he whispered as he began to rock her slowly in his arms.
"What, me calling you alpha", she asked innocently as she flipped the meat onto the other side in the skillet with the spatula.
"Yes my love", he growled low into the side of her unmarked neck.
"Alpha", she said in her sexiest tone. "If you don't keep your hands to yourself, you are going to cause me to make your breakfast burn", she smiled as he started squeezing her hips gently in his hands.
Sesshomaru then swept Rin's hair away from her neck. He slowly licked the back of it with short strokes of his tongue and she whimpered and whined from the exotic pleasure he gave her.
"Who says this Sesshomaru is hungry for food anyway sweet mate. You look perfectly edible to me my delicate daisy", his husky voice vibrated against her neck.
"Sesshomaru", she whispered and began to turn slowly in his arms so she could face him until his large hands stilled her waist in his grasp.
"Who told you to move my lovely wife? Stand still and concentrate on your cooking and let me concentrate on your beautiful body", he said softly against her neck and with trembling hands she obeyed.
Rin finished cooking the sausage and was working on the last batch of pancakes when she felt his claws slice through the spaghetti straps of her light pink flower patterned silk night gown.
"You were wearing too many clothes darling, so this Sesshomaru decided to help you alleviate your problem", he growled near her ear.
He kissed the flesh at her shoulders and slipped his hands inside the fabric helping it slide down the length of her curves only to pool her feet.
Rin was panting hard as he started running his tongue along the length of her spine. She could feel the weakness in her knees at his close proximity and sensual kisses.
"Alpha are you finally going to make love to me because I can't take this waiting any longer", she whined.
"Not today my delectable forbidden fruit, but your husband knows how much you can take and he knows you are nearly at your limit with his teasing, so he has decided to help…..relieve the tension….. if you will. He will assist you as soon as you are done with your cooking", he whispered softly in her ear as he stood behind her cupping her breasts in his hands as she continued to cook their breakfast.
Rin wondered just what was going on inside Sess's head as he planted feather soft kisses all over the upper portion of her body. She found herself moaning at his kisses as he teasingly raked his claws over her hardened nipples.
She barely managed to finish cooking their breakfast with Sesshomaru sexually assaulting her sweetly in the kitchen, but when she did, she turned off the stove and set their breakfast aside. He allowed her to turn around and face him and as she did, she took in the sight of him in black silk pajama pants. He was nude from the waist up and he looked like he'd stepped right off the cover of Play Girl Magazine.
Rin shivered as she watched her mate standing still watching her and suddenly she realized she was completely naked. She then tried to cover as much of herself as she could with her hands but they were too small and of no help to her.
"Why does my wife wish to hide herself from me? My princess is the most beautiful woman in the entire world. This Sesshomaru is not pleased by your actions my lady and therefore you shall be sweetly punished", he said coldly as he continued to gaze upon her bare flesh.
"Sesshomaru, you cannot expect me to be as confident as you. You are gorgeous and I am…..just an average woman", she tried to reason.
Sesshomaru walked up to his wife, when she cast her eyes downward, he titled her head up to meet his narrowing gaze.
"My Lady, are you suggesting that this Sesshomaru does not have impeccable taste when it comes to his mate", he asked calmly.
Rin swallowed hard, "I…I didn't…mean…", but he cut her sentence off with his deep penetrating voice.
"Well tell me Rin, what exactly is it you mean my bashful beauty", he gave her an icy glare.
"I...I'm just…I- just forget it. Please forget I said anything", she pleaded with her eyes.
"Oh no my lady, your mate will not forget that you think of yourself as…average. This Sesshomaru knows that his wife is a diamond in the rough. He knows her beauty exceeds that of any woman alive or dead for that matter. When this Sesshomaru looks at you Rin, he sees a beauty that cannot be compared or measured because you are rare and immeasurable my lovely flower. Now stand up straight and never ever refer to yourself as 'average' again. You are my princess and above you there is no one else to this Sesshomaru", he commanded and she did as she was instructed.
"I'm sorry mate", she whispered softly.
"Your apology will not get you out of the punishment I have in store for you. Now you have doubled it with your feelings of insecurity", he said in mock anger as he lifted her swiftly into his arms.
"What are you going to do to me Sesshomaru? I will be a good girl I promise. I will not question your tastes ever again and I'm already over my feelings of insecurity. This Rin will be on her best behavior from now on she promises", she played along with his game and mockingly kicked and playfully fought him as a means for freedom.
Sesshomaru carried Rin back up to their bedroom with long graceful strides, and he couldn't help but smile down at his wife who was quite the actress. One would have thought she was actually afraid of the demon imprisoning her in his embrace.
When they entered the room, he placed her gently on their bed and left her momentarily as he retrieved one of his ties from the closet.
While he was in the closet Rin saw her opportunity to escape. She hopped off the bed looking back at the closet sure she'd gotten one over on him as she made her way to their bedroom door. When she turned back around smirking at her great escape she was face to face with her captor and her smirk quickly faded as she looked up into his golden eyes.
"Now just where do you think you are going my helpless prisoner", he smiled down at her.
"How…how did you do that", she asked in complete shock because it had seemed like he materialized out of thin air.
"I am a demon Rin. There are many, many things your mate can do that will no doubt surprise you. Was this your feeble attempt at getting away from this Sesshomaru", he questioned calmly and she shook her head in honesty.
"Do you think this Sesshomaru will go easy on you Rin for your honesty", he asked void of expression and again she shook her head in a yes fashion.
"I am sorry Rin. This Sesshomaru goes easy on no one. Get back into the bed where I put you", he demanded coldly and with trembling legs Rin walked back to the bed and lie down near the edge.
"My love, are you trying to provoke this Sesshomaru? I placed you in the middle, now slide those lovely hips where this Sesshomaru placed you and I will not repeat myself again. Is that understood my defiant wife", he asked softly and with wide eyes she whispered a barely audible yes but his demon ears heard the three letter word clearly.
Sesshomaru then crossed the room and bound her hands with his tie and then secured them to their headboard bed railing.
Rin looked at him with pleading eyes but she kept quiet knowing he would only add to the punishment he had in store for her if she spoke.
"Rin, do you see what you've gotten yourself into", he walked over to bed, slid down next to her, and propped himself up on one elbow looking down at her helpless bound form.
"You look simply ravishing lying there Rin, and that is exactly what this Sesshomaru is going to do to you. I'm going to ravish my beautiful mate with my tongue until she cums over and over again on my lips", he leaned down and whispered against her ear.
"Please my love, I beg you, I will be good. I will be obedient and submissive to my alpha from now on", she falsely pleaded.
"Oh no my dear, it is too late for begging and pleading. Take your punishment like a woman my sweet Rin", he commanded and placed a kiss on the tip of her nose.
Rin was enjoying playing her role and she tried to move away from her captor when he'd try to touch her. She pressed her legs together tightly knowing that was the area in which he yearned to be.
"Part your legs my beautiful prisoner", he commanded softly.
"No and if you touch me, I shall scream", she threatened in false rebellion.
"I am most definitely going to touch you Rin and yes you shall scream, in fact I highly recommend it, but it will not be for help or fear my dear. Your screams shall be from this Sesshomaru giving your erotic body sweet pleasure", he vowed and with little force he parted her legs with his hands.
Sesshomaru then settled himself between her legs and Rin's eyes grew wide with shock. He ran his hands delicately over the flesh of her thighs while she watched him with pretend fear etched in her face.
"Your skin is beautiful and flawless and I shall sample the taste of it my Rin", he whispered and he slowly licked up and down her thighs.
Rin inadvertently let out a soft moan at the feel of his wet tongue over her sensitive skin. She found she loved the way his lips felt and when he settled his head between her thighs she readily gave him the access that he needed.
After he delicately licked her thighs he grazed his fangs over the trail of his saliva causing his wife to lightly convulse within his grasp. Rin whispered out his name as he laved tender kisses all over her thighs.
Sesshomaru also moaned and growled as he rendered his beautiful wife helpless in his arms. His lips hovered at her womanly treasure and he looked up at her with red glowing eyes that were filled with lust and animalistic desire.
"Punish me now alpha! Rin has been so very naughty and you should do with me as you see fit", she whispered and squirmed beneath him.
"My Lady are you advising this Sesshomaru when to punish you? I do believe the Stockholm syndrome has now taken effect of my imprisoned beauty. You dare to command your alpha in your bound and captured state", he questioned coldly.
"N….no my husband, I just want you. I ….need you to relieve this ache I have….for you", she implored of him.
Sesshomaru spread back her feminine folds revealing the treasure he sought. There before his red glowing eyes was the object of his very desire. Her pearl glistened with moisture and he licked his lips in anticipation of the feast awaiting him.
Rin gazed at him in between her legs. She watched his scarlet eyes burning with lust and she saw his moistened lips preparing themselves to devour her very essence.
"Please Sesshomaru, I'm begging you. I know you want me. Please take me", Rin pleaded and bucked trying to force his lips onto her wet passage.
"Mate your actions suggest to this Sesshomaru that you think I am too slow in pleasuring you. Is that what you think my love", he asked calmly.
"No…my kind alpha, I am trying to…. obey you…. but you are making it… hard for this Rin", she whimpered.
"Hmm", he leaned forward and took one very long lick of her womanhood, tasting the juices of her sweet fruit.
"Now that, my submissive mate, is a delicacy to this Sesshomaru's tongue palate", he said softly as he gazed into her eyes.
Rin's legs began to shake uncontrollably as she felt his tongue on her sensitive flesh. She pulled and tugged and wiggled against her restraints. Her body cried out to him and Sesshomaru wanted nothing more than to give his wife what she wanted but he had to show her who was in control.
He watched as she squirmed and arched her back towards him and he loved the lust and need he was provoking within her.
"Be still Rin. I will not be able to punish you properly with you moving around so much. Lay still my love and this Sesshomaru will give his wife what she is begging him for. That is what you want, correct my Rin", he teased her mercilessly hovering his lips over her pearl.
Rin nodded her head vigorously in response to his question and she immediately ceased her squirming waiting for her husband to finally take her into his mouth.
"That's a very good girl Rin. You are so very obedient now for this Sesshomaru", he whispered and then circled his tongue around her flower bud.
Rin's breath hitched in her throat when he finally sucked her clitoris into his warm mouth. Her legs twitched against his face and Sesshomaru moaned at her delicious sweetness.
He grabbed the back of her knees pushing her legs back into her chest to gain better access and to control her movements. His wife, though bound, was in a state of pure bliss.
Sesshomaru licked and sucked her jewel with exuberance and Rin panted and moaned as she surrendered to the rapture of his mouth. His name spilled from her lips in broken syllables as he brought his victim closer and closer to nirvana.
Her entire body quaked as she cried out his name when she reached her very intense orgasm and with her eyes closed all she could see was a bright white flashing light in her vision as she tumbled into ecstasy. Her nectar sprang forth like a slow steady stream as she convulsed in his hands and he drank her in like she was the very life force that kept him breathing.
As she descended from ecstasy's peak, her body quivered violently in the aftermath and Sesshomaru stroked her skin gently all the while watching her through lustful red glowing eyes.
When Rin finally came to her senses, she felt Sesshomaru slide slowly up the length of her body. He planted kisses all over her face until he finally brought his lips to hers taking her mouth in a long slow passionate kiss.
Rin could taste herself on his mouth and tongue and she found that she loved the flavor of herself on his luscious lips. Sesshomaru must have known this because he ended their kiss and held his mouth perfectly still allowing her to take the remainder of her nectar away from his lips. Rin sucked and grazed her short fangs over his soft lips and chin until there was nothing left to taste but her own saliva.
"Mate, this Sesshomaru was very greedy in keeping most of your essence for himself. Next time I will execute more control and allow you to have a bit more of your own nectar, if that would please you my beautiful love goddess", he stated as he tenderly ran a clawed fingertip over her lips.
"It would alpha. Now you can untie me and we can have breakfast", smiled up at her captor.
"I'm sorry my Rin, but this Seshomaru is not done with you. Now you stay put and I'll get breakfast", he said as he left her tied on the bed alone so that he could retrieve their food.
"SESS, THIS ISN'T PLEASANT ANYMORE! UNTIE ME NOW", she yelled knowing her voice was reaching his demon ears.
Almost ten minutes later Sesshomaru returned with their breakfast on a silver serving tray. The pancakes were steaming hot along with the sausages and he had warmed the syrup and had to glasses of water accompanying their meal.
"Did you scream for me my love", he asked innocently as he put the tray of food on the bed.
"Yes and I am starving, so untie me now please", she said anxiously while eyeing their food.
"No can do my captive flower, you shall remain tied until this Sesshomaru sees fit to unbind you. Oh and if you behave, I might become generous enough to allow you to sample some of this", he said referring to the food.
Rin's eyes became red and her fangs elongated along with her claws. Sesshomaru watched her disposition change and a blatant smile curved on his lips.
"I do believe that look means you are angry with me my love. Do not worry though, this Sesshomaru does not feel threatened by your apparent display of rage, in fact, I find it quite….. erotic", he said as he poured syrup over their pancakes.
Rin watched him seductively slide a portion of syrup drenched pancake into his mouth and she licked her dry lips at the action. Sesshomaru purposefully let his fork linger in his mouth before he then licked off the remainder of the sticky liquid from his silverware. He made sure he moaned in delight so that she knew just how delicious the meal was.
"Umm, you should really taste this Rin, it's absolutely delectable. Your culinary skills are impressive my bashful chef", he teased as he took another bite tormenting her further.
"Sesshomaru, it is not nice to tease your mate like this. Don't you want to share with your hungry wife? Please my considerate alpha, I have been good and I have done what you wanted, so what do you say? Care to untie me my sweet prince", she said sweetly as she smiled up at her husband from her supine position.
"Your cunning and flattery does not work on this Sesshomaru at the present time but I think I can find it in my heart to let you have a taste of what you are missing Lady of the West. Open your mouth and close your eyes", he demanded.
"I refuse to close my eyes Sess and you will free me and feed me at once. I demand it", she hissed with her fangs in mock anger.
"Tsk tsk my cute hostage. Every time we take a step forward you manage to take us two steps backwards. I didn't want to have to do this but apparently you leave me no choice my willing victim", he said as he sat the tray aside and left the bed to go into the closet yet again.
"What are you up to now Sesshomaru? Release me at once! You are definitely going to regret this mate", she vowed as she watched him re-emerge with yet another tie.
Sesshomaru smirked deviously at his wife as she now squirmed and yanked at the binding on her wrists.
"Rin it is futile for you attempt to free yourself. This Sesshomaru would have perhaps freed you had you not defied him with your refusal to close your eyes and open your mouth. Now I must force you to submit to me yet again", he announced as he walked over to the bed and slid in next to her.
"Did you know my lovely wife that you make the most beautiful expressions when you climax", Rin immediately stopped struggling and blushed deeply.
"Yes my love, you do and this Sesshomaru is proud that he elicits those lovely expressions from his mate but you have put a curiosity inside me and now I must know how many times I can get you to make those beautiful faces of ecstasy yet again my darling. Only this time I want you completely helpless without your sight to aid you", he whispered softly and then he gently lifted her head and covered her eyes securely with the tie.
"Sesshomaru, please let me go. I'm hungry and I want to eat", she whined.
"Now, now my love this Sesshomaru is hungrier than you. Now be still Rin so that I may consume your deliciously prepared meal and if you behave I will feed you after I'm done. Is that clear mate", he said softly and she nodded in understanding.
"That's my good girl and remember don't move my dear", he reminded her and she lay perfectly still waiting on her mate to do whatever it he was going to do to her.
Rin lay completely obedient to her husband and Sess smiled down at his sight impaired wife. He then took the bottle of warm maple syrup and drizzled it onto her breasts and the valley between, down her stomach, into the slight dip of her navel, and all the way down and over her clean shaven womanhood.
Rin felt the warm liquid being poured over her body and she began to tremble. The next thing she felt was a warm tongue on her skin licking up the sticky substance from her flesh.
She moaned when she felt Sess's tongue licking slowly at her nipples. She sighed out loud when she felt his hands gently massage them into his mouth.
"My Rin you are a delectable woman indeed. You make this Sesshomaru mad for you. Would you like to taste for yourself darling", he asked in a husky voice and when she whispered yes, he leaned forward and captured her lips in a sultry teasing kiss.
Rin licked and sucked at the syrup clinging to Sess's lips and when he pulled away she nearly lost it trying to get back to her source of torture and pleasure.
"Sweet mate, you must be patient or I will be forced to keep all of you to myself", Sesshomaru warned.
"Yes alpha, Rin is sorry for her rudeness. May she please be allowed more", she asked as sweetly as she could.
"You must wait your turn my lady", he replied and began licking the syrup between her breasts down to her navel and then he hovered his lips over her feminine entrance.
Rin's legs trembled without her permission as she waited impatiently for what was sure to come but Sesshomaru made no move. He stayed perfectly still gazing at his wife's helpless sightless form.
"Sesshomaru", she panted his name. "Please stop teasing me", she gasped.
"Since you asked so politely my love, I shall give you what you want", he said as he then sucked her love button slowly into his mouth causing her to shiver and cry out.
Sesshomaru spread her legs wide apart and licked her bundle of nerves sensually. He flicked his tongue gently over her clitoris and played with it tenderly between his teeth.
He listened to her as she sobbed his name in elation and her body shook from his ministrations. Rin felt herself toppling over her mountain of bliss as he took her higher with every flick of his tongue.
Sesshomaru lapped at her womanhood leaving sweet sticky syrup smeared across her flesh and Rin was certain she'd die in his arms if he stopped loving on her with his tender lips.
She could feel the pressure building in her core. Her abdominal muscles tightened in preparation for her orgasm and when her release came, she gyrated roughly against him while he smoothed the skin of her belly with his hands urging her juices to rush forward.
He slurped her essence hungrily as she shivered out her climax and when she thought she was content he slipped his two of his long fingers gently inside of her womanly passage.
Rin's breath caught in her throat as she felt his fingers slide slowly inside of her. She began to convulse and wiggle against him until his hand halted her movements.
"Don't move my sweet Rin. I do not want to harm you with my claws. Stay perfectly still until I reach my destination", he commanded in a raspy voice.
Rin obeyed him without hesitation and she felt his fingers sliding cautiously within her. When he reached his destination at her g-spot, he began to massage the area gently.
Rin moaned at the feel of his fingers caressing the sensitive area inside of her.
"That's good my love, stay just like that for your mate. Does that feel good to you my beautiful princess", he asked as he watched her from between her legs and she whispered out a very soft barely audible yes.
As Sesshomaru continued to caress her from within, he felt her body quietly quiver in the palm of his hand. He then closed his lips over her jewel once more and suckled it to the rhythm of his caresses.
Rin couldn't help but cry out in total pleasure. The feeling coursing through her body was one of pure joy. Her body loved what he was doing to her and she surrendered completely to him. She could do nothing but toss her head back and forth in reckless abandon as he suckled her with gently lips.
Her vision became blurred behind her obstructed view and she felt dizzy and happily lightheaded. He did things to her body with his hand and mouth that she could not comprehend or fathom at the moment. He moaned in delight at the sound of her pleasure and he knew any moment he would bring her to her much anticipated orgasm.
Sesshomaru watched his wife's toes curl and her legs shake uncontrollably. Her lips quivered and she spoke jumbled words when her nectar suddenly oozed from within her only to be swallowed by his ravenous mouth.
Rin bucked, arched, and then gave in to the wonderful pleasure of her fierce orgasm. She bared her fangs and hissed sharply as she collided with a world of gratification and Sesshomaru did not cease suckling her as she came down from her high.
When she finally gained control over her body he slowly slid his fingers out of her wet cave only to bring them to her lips.
"Open your mouth my princess, this Seshomaru has a treat for you", he commanded softy and she obeyed him without hesitation.
Rin felt his clawed fingertips on her lips and she opened her mouth to give them entrance inside. She could taste her essence on his fingers and she began to lick and suck them clean savoring her own flavor on his digits.
"That's enough my greedy mate, consider your husband", he teased and then he took his fingers from her mouth and she whined like a little hungry puppy because of it.
Sesshomaru then licked his fingers and moaned at the remaining taste of her that clung to his flesh. He watched his wife through lustful eyes as she continued to lay slightly quivering and bound to their bed railing unaware of his piercing gaze.
"Rin you are so very beautiful to me. This Sesshomaru shall never tire of gazing upon your gorgeous flesh my love. Now would you like to eat before you starve to death", he taunted lovingly.
"Yes alpha", she whispered and he reached up and uncovered her eyes only to discover they were red with lust and desire.
"Rin has your alpha failed to satisfy you", Sess asked softly.
"Oh no mate, you have made me so very happy. I just want to be with you….completely", she blushed.
"Well dear tomorrow is the new moon and all shall be made right, I promise you my love. Tomorrow we start anew and this time we will have beautiful beginnings. I vow it my eternal princess", he pledged and smiled down at his bashful beautiful wife.
Sesshomaru then fed Rin her breakfast and he became amused and aroused at the site her taking in her meal looking up at him with so much trust that she either forgot or didn't care that she was still tied to their bed.
When they finally finished breakfast he watched as she purred in contentment and she then realized she was still tied to their bed.
"Sesshomaru are you going to untie me", she asked giving him a questioning look.
"I will but only if you promise me something", he said looking down at her seriously.
"What is it alpha? Anything you want it's yours, I promise", she replied curiously.
"Rin you might want to use more discretion when you make your promises, however, it is too late and now you have committed yourself to this Sesshomaru without even knowing what it is that I want from you", he replied.
"Well what is it that you want Sess", she asked now looking at him seriously.
"I want you to take a shower with me Rin and since you've already made the promise to me, you cannot break it. I will be very gentle with you. I promise not to hurt you Rin", he looked down at her with pleading golden eyes.
Rin thought about for a long while before she responded to Sesshomaru. She looked up into his eyes and she trusted him. She trusted him not to hurt her and she trusted him to be gentle with her.
"I will take a shower with you alpha but you have to let me set the water temperature", she added a stipulation.
"Done my beautiful mate and now I shall give you your much awaited freedom", he smirked as he released her from her binding.
Rin stretched and purred when she was released from the tie. She then got out of the bed only to walk around and sit straddled on her husband's lap looking him square in his honey golden eyes.
"You must now promise me something my Sesshomaru", she said gazing into his eyes.
"Anything for you mate, what is that you wish this Sesshomaru to promise you", he asked as he held her bare soft hips in his hands.
"Promise me you will always love me and that you will never ever leave me and Nori ever again", she said as she held his face tenderly with her small hands.
"Only death could make me leave you and Nori Rin. You both sustain this Sesshomaru's life force. I promise to always love you my human life mate and my first born son Nori. I will never ever leave you Rin, this I vow", he pledged and then captured her lips in a passionate unbridled erotic kiss.
"Good because we've got some shower therapy to work on", she smiled as she grabbed his hand and led him to their bathroom.
The Next Day-Night of the New Moon
Rin read the note again for the fourth time. Sesshomaru had suddenly left the house a few hours before the sunset. He'd left a card with her name on it and a note inside for her to come to Tokyo Central Park tonight at approximately at seven o'clock and to meet him on their old bench.
Rin swept loose strands of silver hair behind her pointed ear as she made her way through the park. It was a cool night with a light breeze yet the air felt good on her skin.
The stars were shining brightly in the sky and there was not a cloud in sight. Rin took in the scene of various people playing with their pets and walking around aimlessly. There were even a few night picnics as ladies were cuddled up next to their male companions who were giving them their full attention.
Rin smiled because she then thought of Sesshomaru and how much fun they'd had with their shower therapy sessions. She recalled how slowly he bathed her and soaped her body tenderly and how he'd washed her hair with gentle hands and she'd returned the favor.
She thought back to how they had explored each other's bodies as if it were the first time they have been intimately close to one another. Her husband's hands guided hers lightly over the areas that aroused him and begged for her touch and she watched his expressions of lust and desire as she stroked him. Without him saying a word she learned just what her touch to those areas did to him. His eyes burned fire red as she fondled and felt of his taut flesh.
Sesshomaru had turned out to be quite sensitive to her touch and Rin reveled in the power she now possessed over him. If one were to look at her husband they'd say he was hard, cold, insensitive, and loveless but boy would they be completely wrong.
Sess had shown her a side of him that she never thought could exist and she was in love with him. She was completely and utterly head over heels in love with him.
Her smile reached her ears as she sat down on the empty bench where she first met Maru Tanaka. As she thought about Maru, she came to the realization that she had fallen in love with all of her husband. First it was his demon, Lord Sesshomaru who had given her Nori and taught her how to love. Then it was Maru who was so tender and kind and loving to her while she was outcast and pregnant. Lastly there was Sesshomaru himself. He was all of them wrapped up in one.
Sesshomaru had taught her how to love again and he had remained patient and kind to her until she finally opened up to him and allowed him into her world again. He was the one she wanted, the she preferred, and the one she loved more than anything and tonight she would tell him just that. She would finally tell him she loved him and that she totally in love with him.
The past no longer mattered, her grudges were gone, her mistrust vanished, and her broken heart was now mended. The painful tears of yesterday were now tears of joy for their perfect future and how she couldn't wait to start anew with Nori and Sesshomaru.
"Excuse me miss, is this seat taken", a deep voice asked pulling her away from her thoughts.
Rin looked up to a handsome dark haired gentleman with kind dark chocolate eyes staring down at her. She smiled up at him suddenly realizing what he was up to and she decided she'd play along.
"No sir, you may sit if you so desire", she said softly and watched as his frame took up the empty space on the bench.
"It's a beautiful night we are having tonight wouldn't you agree", she asked and smiled.
"I do and it seems the stars are aligned perfectly. My name is Sesshomaru Takahashi. Might I have the pleasure of knowing your name my beautiful park bench companion", he asked and extended his hand as a greeting.
"My name is Rin. Rin Takahashi and it is a pleasure to meet you Sesshomaru", she smiled as she placed her hand in his and he brushed a soft kiss over the back of it.
That action on his part caused Rin to remember the first time they'd met at the bar and how he'd kissed her hand when she introduced herself to him.
"Do you come here often", Sess asked.
"No not anymore. I only came here tonight because I had some things on my mind that I needed to think through", she said as she glanced at him.
"Now what kind of things could be on your mind this lovely night Rin? Do you have some problems to resolve", he asked giving her his undivided attention.
"Actually for once in my life everything is perfect. So no, there are no problems for me to think on this night. I just wanted to actually think on my bright future with my loving husband and beautiful son", she smiled.
"So you are married with a child", he asked.
"Why yes, yes I am. How about you Sesshomaru are you married", she questioned.
"Yes I am. My mate is the most beautiful woman in the entire world. I have a son who looks exactly like me except on the new moons and he brings me a joy that I have never known and I love them both very much", he beamed at the thought of his family.
"Well it would seem that the fates have been good to the both of us", she smiled.
"It would seem that way", he smiled back.
"Say Mrs. Takahashi, would like to have coffee with me tonight? I'm pretty sure your mate wouldn't mind", he flirted.
"I believe you are right, my husband wouldn't mind at all. I'd love to have coffee with you Mr. Takahashi and maybe we could take a walk around the city too. I'd like to know more about you if you don't think your mate would mind", she asked.
"I don't she would mind an innocent chat and some coffee on this beautiful night", he said as he stood and offered her his hand to help up from the bench which she received with ease.
They went to the Starbucks around the corner and chatted about their lives and the jobs and their hobbies and of course Nori.
When they finished their coffee they walked happily around the city window shopping and talking about everything from the local attractions of Tokyo to politics and their plans for the future.
The night seemed to go on and Sess took Rin's hand in his and held onto it tightly. She smiled at her husband none stop and neither of them were really paying attention to their surroundings they were lost in each other's eyes and smiles and conversations.
Rin thought now was the perfect time to tell him the important thing that had been on her mind for several weeks so she stopped in her tracks causing him to stop also.
Sesshomaru turned around looking her in her beautiful golden eyes and she blushed a deep shade of red because of the gleam shimmering in his brown eyes.
"Sesshomaru", she said his name softly and he intertwined both their hands together as she continued to speak.
"I need to tell you that these past few weeks have been the happiest of my life. I find myself thinking of you constantly and I never imagined things would turn out the way it has. You've swept me completely off of my feet and I am absolutely, totally, and eternally in love with you Sesshomaru. I love you and I never thought it was possible but I've fallen completely in love with you", she whispered.
Sesshomaru stood towering over her as she looked up into his loving eyes. He untangled their fingers so that he could caress his wife's face.
"My Rin, those words are music to this Sesshomaru's human ears. I love you also my beautiful mate. I am completely in love with you and eternity would never be enough to have you by my side loving me. I need you, want you, and love to infinity", he whispered.
"Now my lovely wife, as you stand before your alpha mate, I will recite the words that I should have spoken to you that night in the hotel", he said and then he leaned down and captured her lips in a quick passionate kiss.
"For loving me as I love you Rin, I grant to you what should have never been taken away from you. I, Sesshomaru Takahashi, first born son of Lord Inu Taisho Takahashi and next in line as Alpha of the Inu Clan of the Western Lands, hereby accept you Rin Yamada Takahashi as a member of my pack, and not just a member but my mate, my princess, and the mother of my pups. I love you Rin with every fiber of my being, even in death I shall never cease loving you my beautiful human life mate and as you stand listening to my words I ask that you please forget me not", he said looking deeply into her golden eyes as he removed her trademark scarf.
Rin smiled with tears of happiness, joy, and love in her eyes as Sesshomaru took his index finger into his mouth coating it with his saliva. He was about to smear it over her rejection mark when an unknown male's voice halted him.
"Aww ain't that sweet, now both of you put your hands up and give me all your cash", yelled a shady looking man holding a gun pointed at Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru slowly turned around and looked down the barrel of the gun. The man's hand s her shaking badly and Sesshomaru eased himself slowly in front of Rin who's eyes were wide with shock.
"Look I'm sure we can talk about this like gentlemen", Sesshomaru began.
"Aint no talkin' goin' down mister. What about 'give me all your cash' don't you understand", he asked trying to look as lethal as possible.
Sesshomaru looked the man in his dirt covered face. He took note of his dingy grimy clothing and his bugged eyes. He slowly began to reach for his wallet and open it but before he could the man snatched it from his hands.
The armed criminal then took out all the cash and threw the wallet on the ground at Sesshomaru's feet. The robber was so nervous that he forgot all about Rin who was still standing in complete shock at what was going on before her very eyes behind her husband.
The man slowly started to back away after obtaining what he desired and in his haste he tripped over a missing piece of cement in the sidewalk inadvertently pulling the trigger of the gun which was pointed at Sesshomaru.
Rin screamed as loud as her lungs would let her as the man gained his footing and took off running down the now empty side walk. After a quick moment Rin came to her senses and looked down at her husband lying on the side walk clutching a hand over his chest and she immediately fell to her knees at his side.
"Sesshomaru", she screamed out his name and he moaned from the pain.
"Rin I….I've….been…shot", he panted and his brown eyes could see her mouth moving as she screamed but he could not hear her voice.
The last thing Sesshomaru saw was his wife slitting her wrist with her claws and bringing the open wound to his lips. She cradled his head in her lap as she coaxed him hysterically to take her blood but it was too late. Her husband saw nothing but black in his vision and his body went limp in her arms.
