Chapter 37: Facing Realities
When a soft clatter and the scent of steeping herbs filtered through from the outer room, Kagomaru's heart sped up under Sesshoume's fingertips. The man hummed softly, a smile already on his face as he indulged in a stretch. A hand found its way to Sesshoume's waist, and he turned his face into her fur, as if hiding from the new day.
He was within his rights... probably, and she needed his scent upon her skin. Sesshoume pressed determinedly closer, and his eyes opened, then widened.
Kagomaru's surprise ebbed into a sheepish smile, and he murmured, "You're not Souta."
"Hnn."
