- 27. Eye candy -
"A-Alright, alright." a cherry-faced Kagome muttered as she fumbled for her keys. She mentally berated herself for getting caught ogling her partner.
While his demeanor and personality left her with much to be desired, she was not exactly blind to everything else he offered.
Sesshōmaru was most definitely eye candy.
She just didn't want to acknowledge it.
Until now.
"Too bad for you, because looks fade with age. You will turn ugly, like the rest of us."
Who am I kidding? He'll probably age like fine wine. Kagome wondered, but immediately crushed that thought. Shut up, Kagome! Bad girl. Bad!
Sesshōmaru looked at her inquisitively, unaware of her inner turmoil. Citrine eyes laser focused on her, like nothing else existed.
Get a hold of yourself! She pushed the distracting images off a cliff. He's not all that.
But if she were honest—truly honest— she'd be hard-pressed to find another male of his caliber out in the universe.
