When they broke apart Rin was panting for air. Sesshomaru repositioned Rin's tiny frame, so she was standing before him. His arms wrapped around her tiny waist as he pressed his lips to her soft ones again. This time he gently urged his tongue along her lips waiting for invite so he could snake his tongue within her mouth.
Rin granted him access as her arms found their way onto his shoulders as their kiss deepened. A moan escaped her throat as he continued to kiss her. After a few seconds Rin had to break away to breathe. "Rin." Sesshomaru whispered as he nuzzled her neck. "Will you be my mate?" Sesshomaru whispered into her ear. He never wanted to lose her again.
Rin's eyes snapped open. She had longed to hear him ask those words to her. She never thought she would hear them with her being ningen. She pulled back to look at him. "My Lord, do you love me?" Rin asked. Sesshomaru looked at her. As he stared into her eyes he could see all the love she had for him staring back at him. "More than you will ever know." Sesshomaru answered her in the only way he could.
