He tried to hold back, to remember that this was her first experience and she needed time to adjust. The feeling of being inside her though was too much to bear. As he slowly pulled out, her walls constricted, trying to keep him from moving away. He growled low into her ear, asking her to relax. She whimpered at the loss of him, but she didn't have to miss him for long. He started out slow, not wanting to rush her. Her whimpers turned to moans as her body naturally adjusted to him.

Their bodies rocked in unison, ebbing and flowing against each other. He held her closer, bringing his nose down to her neck to take in more of that captivating scent. She held him tight, her hands reaching back into his hair, getting lost in the spun silver.

The air was thick with their heat. The lantern lights still burned giving them both an ethereal glow. Her golden sun kissed skin, bathed in the lantern light, shimmering and reminding him of a rising sun over the ocean. His own alabaster skin glistened like the moon light. The sun and the moon, two entities that were never meant to touch, never meant to be together; and yet here, in their own little world, they merged into one.

The urgency he felt before had been forgotten in lieu of her comfort, but as her pain decreased she began to push for more. Her body made demands that he was more than happy to comply with. He allowed her to lead the pace, knowing this would not be their only chance to be intimate. She grew bolder, running her hands down his back, searching for his lips and kissing him passionately. His pace increased as she neared her peak. He gave her a kiss and brought himself to his knees, lifting her ass to gain better access to her most sensitive spot. He pounded into her, relishing the way she moaned his name, her voice too tired to scream anymore. Her breathing grew ragged and her nails dug into his shoulders as her walls constricted and spasmed around him as she came. With every thrust his own climax grew closer. She writhed underneath him, panting for air, her breast bouncing up and down with the excursion; the vision, along with the feel of her around his cock, drove him over the edge and with a final thrust he spilled his seed inside of her.

He collapsed on top of her, careful not to crush her. Her breathing was still uneven but her smile was bright.

"That...was..fun.." She commented, looking into his eyes.

Sessoumaru gave her a toothy grin, unable to help himself and chuckled softly. "Indeed." He concurred.

He let himself fall over next to her, bringing her body close, rolling her on top of him, in order to not dislodge himself from her all too inviting core. Kagome placed her hands on his chest, craning up to look at him. He gently angled her towards him, kissing her softly. She sighed in bliss and let her head fall on his chest.

"Hn...Tired my little Miko?" He asked, amusement coating every word.

Kagome smiled unapologetically, "Thoroughly." She conceded.

Sesshoumaru reached for one of the many furs that lined his bed and laid it on top of the both of them. He held her close, one arm across her waist, the other crossed her back with his hand weaved into her soft hair, lulling her to sleep.

"Rest, Kagome." He whispered in her ear. Her response was a soft sigh and an almost inaudible "Thank you."

She closed her eyes and he listened as her breathing evened out, her body completely relaxed against his and he was astonished by the sheer amount of trust she placed in him. He breathed her in, still unable to decipher the scent that so alluded him, but enjoying it all the same. He was lost in her. Never before had someone felt so right in his arms, she was vibrant and kind and different from those he knew. He tucked her hair behind her ears, wanting to look at her face fully. She was so much more than he had ever anticipated.

Seven days, that was all he had left, Seven days before he had to shut the door on this fantasy. His beast grumbled but he ignored it. As much as he wished to keep her at his side, he knew it could not be done. He had walked into this knowing it would only be temporary, there was no possibility of an actual relationship, he had people to answer to and she would only ever be in danger.

He held her closer at the thought and she grimaced in her sleep. He loosened his hold. Shaking his head he set his mind at ease; He had seven more days with her, seven more days to come to terms, so right now, instead of wallowing and trying to figure things out that were beyond his control, he should be living in the moment. He adjusted their covering, making sure she would be warm all night long. Sweeping her bangs aside he gave her a kiss on her forehead and whispered "Good night, my little Miko." Closing his eyes he allowed sleep to carry him off to a world where the Moon and the Sun lived as one.
