She is alive
Chapter 26
Sesshomaru came home late that night to find Rin curled up on Kagome, making herself impossibly small to fit in the minimal lap space. Kagome was stroking her hair gently, humming something that sounded like a lullaby. She contemplated the fire crackling away, while Rin slept soundly. Seeing them made him feel full of something he couldn't explain, it warmed his chest, formed a tightness in his throat, and made his eyes burn with unshed tears.
"Hey," Kagome greeted him in hushed tones "we were waiting for you, she fell asleep and looked so comfortable that I didn't have the heart to move her"
It was past midnight now. When he left the house early that morning somewhat discomfited by Kagome's outburst, he hadn't said bye to Rin. "Ah...she is a heavy sleeper, let me," He said and lifted her, the child shifted but didn't wake.
Kagome rushed ahead of Sesshomaru and his precious cargo to pull back the covers on her bed. Luckily Kagome had suggested she changed into her pajamas anticipating Sesshomaru's late return. Standing at the foot of the bed she saw him tuck Rin in carefully, pulling the warm covers around her, brushed the hair out of her face, and kissed the top on her head. It was the most beautiful thing Kagome had ever seen and had to fight back tears.
"Come," she told him gently pulling on his hand. He followed her obediently to his rooms where she nudged him to sit on the couch.
"About this morning. It was not my-"
"Shhh" she shushed him and covered his mouth with a kiss so sweet it made him dizzy. She kneeled in front of him and started to remove his socks. "Hmm, you have beautiful feet" she continued to hum appreciatively and caressed the appendages. "I almost forgot about your markings here" she lifted one foot and kissed the sensitive stripe that circled his ankle. "I wouldn't want to forget anything." He tried to speak but forgot what he was going to say when she gave the same attention to his other foot. "Ahhh…" she gave him a smoldering look that completely robbed him of speech. "Timing will never be perfect, let's enjoy it while it lasts" He was reminded of her mortality, not that he ever forgot, but still the thought of it stabbed him painfully.
He lifted her up to sit on his lap straddling him. He touched his forehead to hers closing his eyes to hide the hurt and hugged her hips pulling her against him. His pulse was beating hard and slow, brushing his lips against her mouth he whispered "Kagome...Kagome." He kissed her, deep and slow, teasing, tasting, exploring. His groin responded to a ground of her hips against the hardness of his erection. A moan escaped him.
"Let me take care of you," she said kissing her way to his ear, down his jaw, to his neck, a trail of wet kisses and nibbles that made his blood sing. She slid off of him to her knees between his parted legs. She pulled on his collar, exploring his chest with her mouth and hands while pulling the material out of his hakama. He threw his head back overwhelmed.
Without stopping the delicious torture with her mouth, her hands got busy undoing the ties of his hakama and pushed down off of him, leaving him wearing only the kosode now sliding down his arms. She touched, kissed, and nibbled her way up his thighs. His erection was raging and he fisted the cushions to keep himself steady, he knew what was coming and anticipation was making him lose his mind. He had never trusted a lover like he did Kagome, being in a position this vulnerable with anyone else was ludicrous. Only her he would trust with his life and that important part of his anatomy, he closed his eyes in complete surrender and relaxed into her touch.
His eyes flew open when Kagome caressed his testicles, a touch barely there, a tease with her fingers followed by her tongue. He groaned when she took his cock in her mouth, hot and wet, up and down, teeth gracing, tongue lapping around his tender head while her soft hand pumped his shaft again and again. He was making sounds he didn't recognize, whimpers and growls. She took him deeper into her hot mouth applying mindnumbing pressure, deeper and deeper. Balls not forgotten, got the sensual rackle of her nails, continued to be teased gently.
She kept the maddening rhythm up and down, hand and mouth and tongue until he let himself go. He tensed and she slowed but didn't move away, her touch grew softer as the pulsing inside her mouth subsided and she swallowed. She sucked his spent cock slow and soft, bringing him down gently from the blinding climax. He opened his heavy eyelids to find her smiling at him from her place between his legs, luscious lips red and swollen from the activities and her hair a rumpled mess.
The look that graced his handsome face made Kagome fall a little more. Relaxed, content, happy. It didn't look like he wanted to move, she crawled up next to him and rested her head on his shoulder with a content sigh. He twined his fingers with hers and pulled to kiss the top of her hand and held them both to his rapidly beating heart.
She woke up by the movement of Sesshomaru depositing her in his bed. She blinked away the confusion, recalling she must have fallen asleep on the couch. He turned walking away to pick up his discarded clothes. His hair was gathered over his shoulder and she got a glorious view of his naked back, his carefully sculpted muscles, and the grey tint the predawn light gave his pale complexion made him look ethereal, like a live version of pygmalion and galatea
"Hey" She sounded throaty and sensual "come back here" she beckoned him with her hand. He was at her bedside in a blink. "In bed with me" She pulled gently and he came readily.
.Kagome kissed his bare shoulder, "it's late...or early I guess, did you get any sleep?"
"No, I was watching you" he confessed bashfully, combing her hair with his fingers. "You are lovely Kagome" his voice was low and rich with want.
She felt heat starting to pool low in her belly, the image of him shuddering from her attentions ignited a need so intense that hurt. She buried her fingers in his hair and they met in a kiss that had him gasping away from her mouth only to land at her neck and travel down to her chest. After removing her shirt he gave attention to every inch of her breasts with his mouth and hands with no rush. By the time he was done, Kagome was fully naked and panting, aching to have him.
Full daylight was now shining on them subtly through the paper screens. Their previous encounters had been at night, even though he didn't need light to see clearly, the rush to be inside of her had kept him from appreciating her naked skin in detail. He ran his hand slowly up her calves and thighs followed by hungry eyes. Faint scars littered her skin, new ones, not there 10 years ago. He felt the few raised ones in the dark, now he could see them all, so many, thin lines of shiny new skin. He traced and kissed all the ones he found wanting to make them better, he couldn't help sucking a breath at a particularly large one above her knee.
"It's ok, they will fade," she said cupping his face.
"How?" he had to ask. How was this possible? She was so strong, so fast.
"Ahh...there was a learning curve," she remarked ruefully "really, is fine, I'm fine. They will all heal in time" she said pushing him to his back and crawling on top of him brushing her wet folds against his hard cock and rocking her hips.
"Kagome, I want you," he said almost out of breath, and that sentence made everything fall into place for her. He took hold on her hip with one hand and traced her spine with the other, running his fingers from the nape of her neck to the luscious swell of her hips. He groaned when she arched her back bringing her full breasts to his face, he took full advantage pulling one of her pink nipples into his mouth and sucking hard, he applied gentle pressure to the nub with his teeth and she pushed harder into his mouth, moaning his name in near rapture.
She was torn. What he was doing with his mouth to her breasts was driving her crazy and didn't want it to stop, but leaning forward into his mouth meant moving away from his cock and the delicious pressure she needed so badly between her legs. He solved her dilemma running his long fingers over her wet folds and teasing her clit. She groaned as he teased her entrance with his fingers, mindless she ground her chest to his face and her center to his skilled hand pushing his fingers deeper and deeper into her.
His cock was twitching to be inside of her, but he could do this endlessly, to see her face flushed with pleasure and convulsing wildly on top of him, moaning his name voice rough with lust. He rubbed her clit rhythmically, suck and bit her hard nipples, while she rolled her hips against his fingers. It didn't take long before a shout ripped from her throat and she collapsed onto his chest trying to catch her breath.
She gave him great pleasure before, as he thought he gave her just now. His painfully hard erection notwithstanding, he was content to hold her whispering sweet nothings to her ear. Kagome lifted her beautiful flushed face, eyes glazy with desire, and kissed him senseless. He was snapped out of the kiss induced haze when he felt the head of his member at the entrance of her soaking wet heat.
She lowered herself just so and started to ride only the tip, a slow up and down motion and the occasional turn of her hips and he thought he was going to lose his mind. She held his hands above his head taking control and he let her. He relaxed into her sensual torture and was rewarded as she started to take more of him, going lower and lower with every rocking motion of her hips, until he was fully enveloped by her welcoming heat. She released him and placed his greedy hands on her hips where he kneaded gladly. She leaned forward placing her hands on either side of his head, draping a heavy curtain of black hair around him.
She found a rhythm, up and down, fast and furious, she was driving him to the brink without mercy. One more thrust of her hips and he took over unable to hold back, thrusting firmly once, twice, he fell off the edge and came hard with a shuddering gasp.
