DIRT CHAPTER 25: OLD-FASHIONED
Kagome sat on the edge of her and Sesshomaru's bed watching him as he undressed. If he was aware that she was watching, he gave no indication of it. She smiled when he turned towards her wearing only his boxers.
"What?" He asked with a grin.
"Nothing." She shook her head. "Just thinking."
"Of what? How you made all the guys look bad today?" He asked playfully as he moved next to her.
"As awesome as that was, that's not what I was thinking about."
"Oh yeah?" He took her hand in his. "Are you going to tell me or am I going to have to beg?"
Kagome laughed.
"I'd like to see that."
"I have no doubt that you would," Sesshomaru agreed with a grin.
Kagome sighed and shifted so that she was facing him.
"I wanted to ask you something."
Sesshomaru waited for her to continue, noticing that she seemed apprehensive.
"It's sort of about that engagement ring you've promised me."
"I know I promised that we'd go pick one out as soon as we got back but-"
"No, it's not that," Kagome interrupted. "I was wondering if I could get something else instead."
"You don't want a ring?" Sesshomaru asked confused.
"Oh I want a wedding ring," Kagome corrected with a slight laugh. "But there's something I want more than an engagement ring."
"Anything," Sesshomaru said, his mind racing to think of what she could want.
"It's... Well it's kind of a silly request," Kagome said, blushing slightly.
"Kagome, just tell me what you want," Sesshomaru said softly, squeezing her hand.
"I want...you to mark me," she breathed avoiding his gaze.
"You want a mating mark?" Sesshomaru asked surprised.
"Yeah," Kagome answered catching his surprised look. "I know it means we'll be permanently connected-"
"No, it's not that," Sesshomaru interrupted, not wanting her to think that he wouldn't want to be attached to her forever. "It just kind of old-fashioned."
"I know," Kagome nodded. "But-"
"If that's what you want, then of course," Sesshomaru said pulling her into his arms.
"Really?" Kagome asked against his neck.
"Yes," he answered kissing the top of her head.
"Tonight?" She asked hesitantly.
Sesshomaru laughed.
"You really want this don't you?"
Kagome pulled away from him just enough that she could look him in the eyes.
"Yes."
Sesshomaru nodded slowly before he bent his head, kissing her with light, lingering leisure. He broke their connection long enough to slip her tank top over her head. Their lips met once more, this time with more need. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back. His mouth moved lower as he pulled her down onto the bed with him. Sesshomaru moved over her as his mouth moved over her breasts. He ran his tongue around her nipples, one then the other, until Kagome moaned and tangled her fingers in his hair. Then he made his way down to her navel. He gently bit her side as he slipped off the old pair of his boxers she wore down her thighs. Her back arched and she gasped his name when his kisses reached the juncture of her thighs. She gave a strangled cry as he took her into his mouth. She pulled at his hair and whimpered his name as he drank from her. He held her hips down with one strong hand while she writhed against him. Her body suddenly tightened as he brought her to her climax. Kagome whimpered his name as Sesshomaru continued to suckle at her. When he looked up, half forced to because she was pulling his hair, her other hand was fisted into the comforter and her eyes were closed tightly as she gasped for breath.
He quickly removed his last piece of clothing, grinning as he slowly moved back up her body, enjoying the warmth of her skin against his own.
"Oh God, Sesshomaru," she panted. "I need-"
He kissed away her words, taking her breath away once more. Sesshomaru slipped one hand between their bodies and stroked her in a circling motion. Kagome parted her legs with a moan of his name and he was deep inside her with one, breathtaking thrust, and Kagome's body immediately seized upon him. Her back arched from the bed and he moved onto his knees, pulling her with him. He held her in place with one hand on the small of her back, the other cupping her butt as he watched her ride him, pushing herself ever closer to her next release.
"This will hurt," he whispered against her neck.
Kagome moaned his name as Sesshomaru's hands slid up her back, holding her upper body closer against him. And then she came with one quivering spasm after another, her head fell back and she cried out his name as he sank his fangs into her soft flesh at the juncture of her neck and shoulder. Kagome's body stiffened against his own, but Sesshomaru held her tight as the coppery taste of her blood washed over his tongue. Kagome finally relaxed in his hold, her body still trembling with aftershocks, and he laid her down on the bed once more. They both panted for breath as he carefully licked at the wound on her neck. Sesshomaru braced himself on one arm as his opposite hand slid down her sweat-slicked body, hooked her knee and brought it up to rest on his shoulder. He rocked his hips into her forcefully, seeking his own release. Kagome gripped at his sides, trying and failing to find some type of hold. She cried out as his pace quickened and his thrusts became deeper. When her next orgasm hit it was more intense than the ones before it and she lifted her hips from the bed, pressing into him, screaming out his name. Sesshomaru's powerful body plunged into her own as he found his release; his head falling to her shoulder as he groaned out her name.
They held onto one another for a long time before Sesshomaru moved to lie at Kagome's side, his breathing just swift and ragged as her own. She turned on her side and molded herself against him. He wrapped an arm around her shoulder, mindful of the mark he'd left on her.
"Incredible," Kagome murmured once she'd recovered some, letting out a contented sigh.
With words failing him, Sesshomaru pulled her tight against his side and kissed her forehead.

"Kags sure was making a lot of unnecessary noise last night," Kouga commented when Sesshomaru came into the kitchen the following morning.
Sesshomaru smirked slightly.
"Sorry, she forgets that you're just down the hall," he apologized.
"It's still unnecessary," Kouga continued.
"I doubt she would agree. I know I don't. There's nothing better than hearing her scream my name as-"
"Shut the fuck up," Kouga grumbled.
Sesshomaru grinned in triumph.
"Good morning," Kagome chirped as she bounded into the kitchen.
"Yeah, yeah," Kouga grouched with a wave of his hand.
Kagome flew into Sesshomaru's arms and kissed him swiftly.
"What do you want for breakfast?" She asked.
"Hmm?" He scrunched his brow as if he was thinking hard. "I'd prefer the same thing I had last night."
Kagome scoffed and pulled away from him.
"That's not food," she said with a shake of her head.
"In some countries-"
"Shut up. You're getting bacon and eggs," Kagome cut him off. "Did you already eat Special?"
"No, thank God, or I would have just up-chucked it," Kouga answered pretending to gag.
"Aren't we funny this morning?" Kagome asked sarcastically. "Do you want some?"
"Bacon and eggs or...?" He trailed off with a smirk.
"Bacon and eggs, the other isn't on the menu," Kagome said lightheartedly.
"Sure." Kouga sighed.
Kagome began to riffle through the fridge for what she needed to get breakfast underway while Sesshomaru sat down at the table across from Kouga.
"What the hell did you give to her? Speed?" Kouga asked.
Sesshomaru shook his head and grinned.
"Nope, just a good old-fashioned-"
"Sesshomaru," Kagome interrupted with a cough.
Sesshomaru laughed.
"Yes?" He feigned innocence.
"Kouga doesn't need to know what it was that you gave me. Or want to know for that matter, I'm sure. No matter how good it was."
"If this is going to continue, I may think of moving into the guest house," Kouga said attempting to remain serious.
"Really?" Sesshomaru asked enthusiastically.
Kouga laughed and shook his head.
"Are you nuts?"
"Wishful thinking I guess," Sesshomaru sighed.
Kagome set a carton of orange juice and three glasses on the table between Sesshomaru and Kouga. Kouga suddenly grabbed Kagome's wrist.
"Wait. Is that what I think it is?" He ran his thumb over the fresh mark on Kagome's neck.
He let Kagome go then glanced from her to Sesshomaru.
"You marked her?"
Kagome smiled brightly and Sesshomaru nodded.
"Nobody does mating marks anymore."
"She asked if I would and-"
"You asked for that?!" Kouga gasped, looking at Kagome once more.
"Yes," Kagome answered proudly.
"What the heck were you thinking? Now you'll be attached to this doofus forever."
"I know," Kagome squealed, causing Sesshomaru to laugh.
"God, no wonder you were so loud last night," Kouga mumbled.
"Yeah," Kagome laughed. "Sorry, not sorry."
