Sesshoumaru reached down and threaded his fingers through hers, marveling at the way his pale skin and claws looked against her small, soft, tanned hands.

Izayoi leaned into him "I know you will protect me Sesshoumaru" she whispered against his lips.

Sesshoumarus eyes widened as she pressed her lips against his. He had heard about the human ways of affection and how kissing on the lips was only really ever done between mates.

His heart began to race, his blood once again on fire for this woman. Her actions and her words causing a reaction he had little control over.

His eyes slid closed and he kissed her back.
