Her stormy eyes locked onto his as she looked at him from over her shoulder. He could feel the heat of her body as he pulled her against him, his thumb gently moving over the inner curve of her hip. The taste of her blood coated his tongue from an injury he had just cleaned. He brought his free hand up and cupped her cheek softly and she turned towards him. Her back stayed mostly against his chest as he felt her arm come up around his neck and grip his hair, pulling him down to her before pressing her lips to his.

The feel of the spring lapping at his waist while the cool air brushed along his skin where her heated skin did not touch, caused a slight tremor to run up his spine as she controlled the kiss. He felt her nip at his lower lip before her tongue hesitantly slid into his mouth, tracing the tips of his fangs as she tasted him. He moved his hand from her cheek down her neck , letting his claws trace along her collarbone, causing her to shiver against him before turning her to face him.

He wrapped his arms around her waist and pushed her tongue back with his own, slowly dominating the kiss. He wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her up as he slowly moved to the edge of the spring. Her arms and legs wrapped around him as she pulled back from the kiss, breathless, but did not complain as he carried her out of the spring, both of them still wet to the bed.

He laid her across the blankets after using his energy to dry them both and crawled onto the bed hover above her, one arm propping him up. He lowered his head back to hers and pressed a chaste kiss to her lips before slowly kissing his way down her neck to the junction of her shoulder, nipping her skin softly causing a soft gasp to escape as she squirmed under him. His free hand came up to cup her breast gently and she whimpered but did not try to move away from him.

Taking that as his cue to continue, he started to kiss his way down her body to the neglected breast. He drew her nipple into his mouth while his fingers played with the other and heard her mewl as her chest arched up into his touch. He switched off to suck on the other nipple as he slid his hand further down her body before reaching her heated core.

Rubbing his hand over her core gently, her hips moved as if trying to find friction before he slid a finger between her lips to rub the sensitive bundle of nerves. She moaned quietly, her breathes having sped up some, reacting to ever touch. He slid his finger lower and was greeted with her core already wet. Sliding two fingers inside of her, being mindful of his claws, he started to kiss his way down her abdomen.

He licked her naval, drawing her piercing into his mouth for a moment to strengthen the energy in the silver, before moving even further. He moved his body to nestle himself between her legs and pressed his tongue between her nether lips to flick her clit as he pumped his fingers into her at an agonizingly slow pace. He felt her hips start to meet the thrusts of his fingers, her moans showing her want to increase the speed.

He obliged her and increased his thrusting as he sucked on her clit, making her gasp loudly. Her legs came up over his shoulder and her hands gripped at his hair, trying to pull him closer so he hummed against her clit, making her hips jerk almost violently. Sliding a third finger into her now that she had been properly teased, he thrust faster into her, knowing her peek was closing in.

He didn't have to wait much longer before she came, arching off the bed as her legs clamped down around his head as a scream escaped her. Pulling his coated fingers out of her, he licked them clean before plunging his tongue into her core, feasting before she had come down from her peek and quickly threw her into another as his thumb came up to tease her overly sensitive clit. He threw her into a third and she was gasping for air before he finally pulled back to give her a moment to catch her breath.

He crawled up her body, noticing the light sheen of sweat as her stormy blue eyes opened part way to watch him as he did. As soon as his hands fell to either side of her head, her arms wrapped around his neck and pulled herself up to kiss him deeply and he felt her push her body against him. He let her roll him onto his back and gripped her hips as she straddled his stomach. She broke the kiss but her lips did not leave his skin, causing his erection to twitch against her backside as she pressed her lips to side of his neck over his pulse.

A growl escaped him as he felt her bite him as her hands ran over his chest, tracing the lines of his muscles. He felt her hips rub against his hardened length as she slowly moved down his body, pressing a kiss to his sternum and flexed his hands on her hips as he let his thumbs rub circles into her skin. Soon her lips left his skin as she sat up straight to look at him.

He watched as she lifted herself up and gripped his length with one hand. She lined him up with her core before slowly lowering herself onto him, her eyes never leaving his. Once he was fully seated inside of her, he heard a quiet moan escape her and her eyes finally closed.

He let her remain in control as his beast had never given her any options when it took over and when she lifted herself up before slamming back down onto him, a deep growl escaped in. Never had he let a woman take control as she was now, riding him, sensations he had not felt before from this position threatened his endurance. His grip on her hips tightened some but he did his best not to draw blood as he slowly took control of her speed and soon started to thrust up into her, causing her moans to get louder. Her release was violent around him, strangling his length as she came and her head fell back as she screamed.

He stilled inside her as her walls spasmed around him and he studied the way her breasts moved as she gasped for air. When she finally brought her head back up, he quickly rolled them so he was above her. He pulled her arms above her head with one hand while his other gripped her thigh, pulling it over his hip as he started thrusting into her. The sound of skin slapping together filled the air as he went fast and deep into her.

As he felt himself nearing his end, he could feel his beast press forward. Feeling it's thoughts of only wanting to enjoy the impending release and not harm their mate-to-be, he gave partial access to the beast. Feeling his eyes burn as they bled red, a deep growl escaped him and stormy eyes peaked open to see him, though he could see her need of a release mirror his own.

"Maru..." she mewled, her chest bouncing at the almost violent pace he set.

"Mate," he growled back.

He pressed his lips to hers before everything went black at the sheer force of her walls slamming down on his length triggering his own release. He could hear her silent scream, struggling for air that she was unable to make a sound as a victorious growl left him. He let go of her wrists and wrapped his arm around her waist as he rolled onto his side, keeping himself inside her, waiting for his vision to return.

"Sesshomaru?" Kouga's voice brought him back to reality as he found himself on his hands and knees, breathing hard. "Kaya, get down here!"

"Kouga, wha...? Sesshomaru?!"

"Something has changed," he panted, surprised at how affected he was.

"What do you mean?" Kouga frowned, his hand on Sesshomaru's shoulder.

"She's changing him..." he frowned as he ran a hand through his short black hair. "That has to have been the most vivid flashback or vision I have ever experienced."

"What happened? What did you see?" Kaya frowned. "Is Nova okay?"

"Are you sure you were not just daydreaming?" Kouga chuckled.

"Positive. I have had some flashes before but never like this," he growled before he saw Khendon pad into the room.

'My mistress?' He barked in question.

"She's holding her own, changing the very nature of the beast of the past. He's teaching her the ways to rule the land, teaching her to fight... He even contacted Dimitri Draik who came. Kaya, find Touran. She is the only one who was with her after her seal faded and only she knows the story of the woman in our past. I have to know if our present actually changes with the actions of Nova that she took from us. Tell her to find a way to send Khendon over within the week."

"What happens in a week?" Kaya frowned.

"The Lords come for the announcement of the Western Lord's courting," Sesshomaru muttered.

"But that never happened..." Kouga frowned as Sesshomaru got back to his feet.

"Just wait. As they have happened for her, the flashbacks become without warning."

"If it's going to cause me a major hard one, Ayame would kill me. Guess I know why you collapsed," Kouga grinned before getting punched in the face. "I have to ask, was your beast the one in control?"

"Nova was," he growled at the smirking wolf, causing his eyes to bulge.

"Oh..."

"I'm going to go find Touran," Kaya spoke suddenly before leaving the room quickly.
