I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA!

Lemon warning!

Chapter 35

Inuyasha silently closed the bedroom door behind him. He had spent almost five hours learning the complete layout of the castle, including the underground tunnel system. He hadn't planned on staying away from his mate for so long but he had had one of the servants join them in the walk around so that he could occasionally check in on Sesshomaru and report back to him on his condition. Sesshomaru had been fine. First spending time with Izumi, then with Shippo, then having lunch before retiring to sleep.

The castle security was excellent. He couldn't find a single hole. But he expected nothing less from a system set up by his father and maintained by his brother. The lay out of the castle was confusing at first, but as he learned more of it he could see the brilliance of it. Any invaders who happened to get past the guards would have a hard time navigating the hallways. Not only was the inner castle a maze, but there was a pulley system built into the walls that could allow the inner hallways to be closed off once the invasion alarm was sounded. The system was checked once a month to ensure the system was well oiled and in good repair. All in all, he knew his family would be safe in the castle. Even if he were called away in the future his mate and children would be safe inside these walls.

Inuyasha stood at the end of the huge bed and looked down at Sesshomaru with a smile. All he could see was the top of his head and his hair, which was off to the side in one large braid. His robe was carelessly dropped on the floor in the middle of the room, like he had stripped while walking to the bed. Inuyasha let his own fall. He lifted the pile of blankets from the foot of the bed and crawled under.

In the warm darkness, he found Sesshomaru's legs and kissed his way up them. His mate moved slowly and moaned softly as he worked his way up his body. His breathing had turned heavy by the time he reached his lips and pushed the blankets down enough to see his face in the pale firelight. He kissed him passionately and caressed down his body.

Sesshomaru opened his eyes and moaned as Inuyasha's hands found his nipples. "Inuyasha. Take me."

Inuyasha groaned and positioned himself between Sesshomaru's legs. "It is so unbelievably sexy when you say that."

Sesshomaru moaned loudly when Inuyasha pushed into him and started a slow rhythm. His body was heavy with sleep but it felt so good. The gentle touching. The heat of Inuyasha's skin against his own. Being filled by his mate in such in intimate way. The emotions that stirred in him threatened to overwhelm. "Inuyasha."

His mate's whispering his name pushed him to move faster. Sesshomaru wrapped his arms and legs around him and he pressed his lips to his ear. "I love you, Sess."

Sesshomaru moaned softly and put his head to the side, exposing his neck. "I love you."

Inuyasha growled when he heard the door open behind him. He turned and bared his teeth. "Out!"

Shippo skidded to a halt half way to the bed and let out a squeak. "Sorry!" He wrung his hands, unsure what to do.

Inuyasha narrowed his eyes. "What is it?" A chuckle brought his eyes back to the door. Izumi stood with her eyes on the ground. "Can't we have some privacy?"

"I apologize, Lord Inuyasha. I did tell the boy to knock." She bowed low. "We did not mean to interrupt."

"What do you want?" Inuyasha shifted, causing Sesshomaru to moan softly.

"Izumi said I need your permission." Shippo moved to hide behind the woman's legs.

"For what? Hurry this up please." Inuyasha was trying very hard not to groan. Sesshomaru was panting in his ear, his legs trembling where they were pressed against his hips.

"Shippo wishes to play in the east garden with my boy. I told him that he needed permission to play with Junichi." Izumi kept her eyes respectfully on the floor. Not that there was much to see since they were under the blankets.

"I trust your judgement, Izumi. Just be in and clean before dinner." He clenched his teeth and stifled a moan when Sesshomaru lifted his hips, pushing him in deeper.

"Of course, my Lord." Izumi bowed low and backed from the room.

Inuyasha heard a shout of "Thank you" from Shippo as the door slid closed.

Inuyasha started moving again, faster and harder. Sesshomaru moaned loudly at the sudden change of pace and clung to him. "More."

Inuyasha growled and sat up. He held Sesshomaru's legs tight against the front of his body and moved in a way he hadn't since Sesshomaru was in heat.

Sesshomaru cried out and grabbed the bedding around him, feeling his claws cut through the fabric. His toes curled and a pleasure like nothing before lit every inch of his body. It rode along the edge of pain. Inuyasha pounded into him, pulling sounds from him he never thought he could make. It was riding the line of being too much. He opened his mouth to ask Inuyasha to slow down when an orgasm tore through him and ripped a scream from his throat.

Inuyasha growled as Sesshomaru tightened around him and the scent of his seed filled the air. He continued to thrust until Sesshomaru's orgasm passed. His mate twisted under him and pressed his hands against his chest. Inuyasha paused when he heard him whimper. "Too much?" At Sesshomaru's nod, he sat back slowly. "Do you want me out?" Sesshomaru shook his head. He stayed where he was and rubbed his mate's legs. "Tell me when."

After a few minutes, he felt ready again. "Slow this time?"

Inuyasha smiled and let Sesshomaru's legs slide to either side. "Come here, baby." He pulled Sesshomaru up until he was straddling his lap, pushing deep into him. Sesshomaru groaned and let his forehead fall to his shoulder. "Move your hips."

"I can't." He let his arms rest around Inuyasha's waist.

"Alright." Inuyasha sat up on his knees, causing Sesshomaru to cling to him. He knee walked up the bed until he could press Sesshomaru against the wall. "Just hold on then."

Sesshomaru moaned softly when he started to move again. "Slowly. Please."

"I know, baby." He moved slowly, pulling sweet soft moans from his mate. After a few minutes Sesshomaru started moving his hips, urging him to move faster with his body.

Inuyasha scraped his teeth over Sesshomaru neck and his body convulsed. "Oh, Kami." He let his head fall to the side again, submitting to his mate. "More."

Inuyasha chuckled. "Do you want me to bite you?"

"Yes." He whimpered softly, tightening his knees around Inuyasha's back. "Don't let me fall."

"I won't." He bit down. Not hard enough to break the skin, but enough that Sesshomaru moaned and went limp in his arms. He groaned and spread his knees to give himself leverage as he started to move fast and hard again. He opened his mouth and Sesshomaru's entire body shivered, inside and out. He moaned and thrust in hard, biting down again as he came, emptying himself deep inside his mate. When he stopped pulsing, he carefully opened his mouth again and slowly licked the blood from Sesshomaru's neck. "You okay?"

Sesshomaru could only groan. He sighed as Inuyasha cradled him against his body and moved back to lay him down. His eyes felt heavy. He let them close as Inuyasha carefully arranged him and pulled the blankets up over them both.

"What's gotten into you?" Inuyasha ran a hand gently down his body to rest over their child.

Sesshomaru frowned and opened his eyes to look at his mate. "What do you mean?"

"I mean you. Moaning and moving with Shippo and Izumi in the room."

Sesshomaru closed his eyes again as his face warmed. "I couldn't help it. I wanted you. And your lust was beating down on me. I knew they were in here but I didn't seem to care. I just needed you."

Inuyasha smiled and kissed his forehead. "It was hot. But really, baby. You gotta work on that."

"Work on not rutting against you while there is someone else in the room? I'll get right on that." He laughed when Inuyasha hit him with a pillow.

"Smart ass." He ran a hand over the thick braid lying on the bed on the other side of his mate. "What's with the braid?"

"Izumi. She did that when we were talking. She used to braid my hair when I was little."

"It's oddly endearing."

Sesshomaru smiled and ran a hand down Inuyasha's chest. "You like it?"

"Yes." He moved so he could lay his cheek over their child. "Your mommy looks beautiful with his hair braided, little one."

Sesshomaru laughed and made a face. "Inuyasha. You do realize that I'm all sticky and dirty, right?"

"Sticky, yes. Dirty?" He shrugged and ran his tongue over his mate's skin, moaning at the sharp taste of his release.

"I need a bath." He pushed Inuyasha's hair to the side to see his face clearly.

"Alright." He proceeded to clean his mate with his tongue. "Kami, you taste good."

Sesshomaru let out a soft moan. "That feels good."

Inuyasha chuckled. "I can tell." He ran a finger down his mate's arousal, making him moan louder. He sighed and rolled away. "You need to sleep."

Sesshomaru groaned and rolled towards Inuyasha, pressing himself against his hip. "Don't leave me like this. I need you."

"Baby." He put a finger under Sesshomaru's chin and tilted his face upwards. "You're tired. I can feel it."

Sesshomaru frowned. "You can feel it?"

Inuyasha blinked. "Yeh." He frowned, too. He searched where that feeling came from. "You're tired. And slightly nauseous."

Sesshomaru sat up and looked down at him. "You shouldn't be able to feel that. Not yet."

Inuyasha pulled him back down and wrapped him in his arms. "Calm down, baby. You said I would feel you eventually, right?"

"Not until after the baby is born." His arousal had disappeared. He clung to Inuyasha and felt a panic begin to rise. "What's happening?"

"Sesshomaru. Calm down. Everything it alright. I'm fine. You're fine. The baby is fine. Calm down and sleep, baby. Just sleep."

"I can't. You shouldn't be feeling me yet. What's happening?"

"Alright. Come on." He stood and pulled Sesshomaru up into his arms. He sat him on the end of the bed for a moment and wrapped him in his robe before putting on his own. "Let's go fine Izumi. Will that help?"

Sesshomaru nodded. "Please."

Inuyasha felt a pang of worry at the small voice. He picked him up again and Sesshomaru pressed his face against the side of his neck. "Just stay calm, alright?"

Sesshomaru nodded. "I'm trying."
