5:45 AM

He could hear the chirping of the birds outside the cave. Though no light had made it through, he knew the sun would be up. He looked down at the still sleeping priestess, trying to decide what the best way to wake her up would be.

He knew she could probably use a few more hours of rest, but not being able to take care of his own needs for the past few hours had been torture. He groaned as she shifted, his member already fully erect in expectations of what was to come. She fit him like a glove, her body memorizing the shape of him and keeping him inside her welcoming cove.

He gently rolled them over, being careful not to tousle her too much. He braced himself on his forearms, keeping most of his weight off her. His eyes roamed over her, taking in her disheveled appearance. Her hair was everywhere, her lips still full from sleep, and markings covered her from head to toe. He smirked at that, delighting in the memory of how he made those marks. She also had a few bruises, he apparently had been holding on to her too tightly when he swept her away from Inuyasha's village. She of course, was not one to complain.

His fingers ran across her breast, the nipples perking up as his claw dragged over them. He buried his nose in her neck, breathing her in and moved his hand down to get a good handful of her backside.

He kissed her jaw and started to move his hips lazily. Kagome continued to sleep but her brows furrowed. His movements were languid and without rush as his grip on her ass tightened and he lavished her neck.

Kagome still refused to wake but her breath was coming up short; she gasped and moaned, turning her head from side to side as if refusing to awaken from her delicious dream.

He moved his lips near her ear and whispered, "Wake up Miko, we are not finished yet."

Kagome's eyes slowly opened at the sound of his voice, her confusion apparent as she looked at him on top of her. She looked like she was about to say something but was cut off by another thrust of his hips.

"...ah..Se..Se..sshouma..ru…" His name spilled brokenly from her lips and with every thrust she had to pause to catch her breath.

"Yes, Kagome?" He asked sweetly.

"..d..don't….d...don't...stop…" She managed to get out.

"I wasn't planning to." He replied. He guided her arm to his shoulder, and she threw her arms around him, holding on for dear life. He let go of her ass only to grab her thigh and bring it up, trapping her leg between her body and his as he continued to pound into her.

She guided his head down and rose up to kiss him fervidly. He growled out his approval, their tongues engaging in an age old dance.

Her head rolled back as he ground his hips into hers and he kissed his way down her neck, his hips never ceasing. Her hands traveled down to his back, again she dug in her nails as her pleasure rose.

He bit her neck in playful retaliation, careful not to draw blood. He could feel that she was almost at her peak, her walls were tightening around him. He growled deep in his throat as his pace increased and with a few more thrusts he could feel her release constrict around him, which in turn, brought forth his own climax in her. Her scream of ecstasy was music to his ears as she came with him.

He rested his forehead against hers and they panted together.

Slowly, their breathing returned to normal and she smiled up at him. "Good...Morning...Sesshoumaru.." She said through her pants.

"Hn..Good morning indeed, Kagome." He replied with a kiss on her lips.

He rolled himself off of her, regrettably removing himself from her. He brought her close to him though, her head resting on his chest, his arm around her. She drew lazy circles on his stomach, not yet willing to break the peaceful morning silence with idle talk. He drew his own circles on her arm with his thumb and there they spent a blissful morning of satisfaction.
