"Toga, dearest," Izayoi said, a clearly puzzled look etched across her beautiful face. "Um, what exactly are you doing?"
The demon lord threw her a dark look from where he lay, belly down on the floor in the middle of the hallway, right outside Sesshomaru's bedroom door, and mouthed the word "Hush!" He pointed at the door. "They're doing something in there."
Izayoi's cheeks began to burn red. "Oh Kami! And you're listening to them? Toga!"
"SHH! You're going to give us away! Sesshomaru hasn't smelled me yet…"
"I can't believe you!" his wife hissed lowly, dropping to the floor beside him. "I can't believe you're trying to spy on them! The door is closed, that doesn't mean anything!"
Toga glared at her. "Dearest, I was fifteen once, trust me, if I took a girl to my bedroom, closed the door, turned the lights off, and put her in my bed; we would not be discussing the weather."
"There has to be a logical explanation," Izayoi murmured, straining to hear what could possibly be going on in her stepson's bedroom. Oh Kami, she thought, what if they ARE doing something? What would I tell Rin's mother and father? I'm such a horrible parent! The anxiety was overcoming. Pushing herself off the floor, Izayoi grasped the knob with one trembling hand and swung the door open wide. She flipped on the light.
"Sesshomaru, dear? Rin?"
A brown head poked out from beneath the comforter of the king-sized bed, followed by a silver one that belonged to a very annoyed looking inuyoukai.
Sesshomaru did not even flinch as he watched his stepmother suffer a minor heart attack and collapse into Toga's arms. He exchanged glares with his father.
"Well, what do you have to say for yourself?" Toga growled. "You've just severed her lifespan by twenty years."
"I have no idea what you mean," Sesshomaru replied defensively. He glanced at Rin, whose hair was a ragged mess from being under the covers. She smiled at him.
"Did you like your birthday present, Sesshomaru-sama?"
Toga's jaw dropped. It was a birthday present? He was seeing Rin in a whole new light now.
Sesshomaru nodded, "Yes, Mate, I'll bring it with me to class tomorrow."
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
One corner of the inuyoukai's mouth pulled upward at the bewildered look on his father's face. "What is the matter, Chichi-ue? Rin was merely giving me my birthday present." He pulled out from beneath the comforter a large white binder.
"Yeah, like I'm going to believe - !"
"It glows in the dark!" Rin said enthusiastically, taking it from her alpha.
Toga turned off the lights. "Well, I'll be damn. It does glow in the dark…" With his demon eyesight he could easily see the outline of bones and doghouse stickers on the binder.
"Sesshomaru-sama has more of a personality then he lets on, so Rin decided she would get him something only he could see, but he'd carry it around with him all day at school." She sounded proud of her clever thinking.
The demon lord awkwardly backed out of the room with his wife in tow. "Um, sure, I guess. Just, uh, go to your room soon Rin. You're not allowed to sleep in here anymore, you know."
~oOo~
Of course, whenever Rin spent the night at the Takahashis, sleeping with Sesshomaru-sama made her feel so safe.
And that is why he did not object to her stealing back to his room in the middle of the night. He did frown at her V neck nightgown, the one she'd bought just last week. Usually Rin wore old T-shirts and pajama bottoms to bed. This was uncharacteristic of her, to wear something so sheer and lacy… Rin slept peacefully, breathing like a soft whisper in the night. Her brown hair was fanned across the pillow, the comforter covering up only to her waist, because it was an unnaturally warm night for this time of year, and she liked to feel the gust of wind sent from the ceiling fan above against her skin.
She started as a sudden weight pressed upon her.
"Mate…" he growled lowly, placing his hands on either side of her head. Her eyes bulged open.
"Sesshomaru-sama? What are you do-?"
Evidently he was not in the mood for talking, instead pressing his lips to hers in a heated rush that swept like electricity throughout her entire body. She gasped, and her alpha took full advantage of the opportunity to plunge his tongue into her. Deadly claws pinched Rin's sides, pinning her down as he tasted his fill of her sweetness, as light as sunshine and just as heavenly. He purred into her mouth, gazing at her with smoldering, lidded amber eyes, and kissed her deeply.
Shock gradually faded as Rin hitched one calf over his hip, plunging her fingers into that flowing silk river that was his hair. She had not known she could respond so enthusiastically, or that the one she had most secretly wanted to claim her first kiss would. Sesshomaru pulled back slightly, permitting her to breathe, growling in a very sensual manner. A thin sheen of perspiration lined the pulse of her neck.
"Mine, my mate… Give me pups…" Sesshomaru purred, nipping at the contour of her neck and shoulder with his fangs. Rin moaned softly as he proceeded to lick and taste her along that pulsating vein. His words made her feel so beautiful, so wanted.
"I love you, Sesshomaru-sama!" she called out, arching into the curve of his body, wanting to feel his hands travel somewhere else other than her shoulders…
"Mate?"
"I love you! I love you so much…!"
"Mate, wake up."
"I love…"
Rin's eyes opened - for real this time - and sat up abruptly. The bedside lamp was on, and she could see that Sesshomaru was still on his side of the bed, staring at her with more emotion in his amber eyes than she had ever seen before.
It was all a dream.
It was all a dream!
All except…
Sesshomaru's nostrils flared slightly at the scent of her heavy arousal. It was mind-staggeringly strong, and against his will, Sesshomaru found himself beginning to respond to this beautiful female that was within arm's reach, her body was just screaming for the taking!
"Sesshomaru-sama," she reached out to him, apologetically. Rin had not meant to let him hear her deepest secret, did not want him to be angry with her. He recoiled, snarling.
"Get out. We cannot sleep in the same bed anymore…"
Word Count: A little over the limit. This one was 1,255 words.
A/N: Yeah, I know. My beta reader hates me too. Don't be expecting an update for the next couple days. The last Inheritance book just came out yesterday, so of course I had to run down to the bookstore and pay $30. (^_^) It's worth it, because after I'm done reading, it's heading east to Iraq for my cousin, who sadly will not be home for the Holidays.
