Automatically, he caught her, holding her carefully as she placed kiss after kiss on his cheeks and nose and forehead and anywhere else she could reach. It rather amused him that she was studiously avoiding his lips. Sesshoumaru was almost tempted to hold her still and plant one on her, the kind of kiss that left her eyes half-lidded and begging for more. Except now wasn't the time, no matter her attentions. Unaware that he had even done it, he rolled his eyes and carefully set her away from him. "Be still woman," he ordered, amusement clear only in his voice.
Still grinning like a maniac, Kagome nodded and did as she was told. "Sorry! It's just so exciting!"
He sighed and then stepped closer to her again. Without giving her a chance to react, he gently pushed her shirt back up and set his hand on her belly. As he remembered it, her skin was still silky smooth and warm and soft. But he couldn't even pretend to focus on that as he moved his hand slowly across her stomach, feeling rather than seeing the evidence of her conception, of their child.
Kagome flushed and embarrassingly, her heart sped up in response to his innocent touch. Most thought left her mind as he touched their child through her, her words nothing but goo in the back of her throat. When she was suddenly pulled even closer to him, his one arm trapped between them as he continued to touch her, she squeaked in surprise. "Sesshoumaru!"
Smirking, he snaked his other arm around her and pulled her close so there was no space between them. Gold eyes warm, he leaned over her until their noses bumped and met her eyes. "You are showing," he agreed.
