Chapter Fifteen
Rin squirmed beneath him, desperately trying to quicken the pace but Sesshomaru wouldn't allow it. With a hand at her waist and the other feather light on her neck, he continued his torturous speed. He moved in constant, never ending, agonizingly slow thrusts.
"No, darling. Slow down. I need this slow," he planted a kiss on her forehead and moved to whisper in her ear. "Don't you want to feel me?," he filled her and stilled, letting her wiggle around him to no avail.
"Y-yes. I-I want to feel you," she gasped.
"Then close your eyes, I shall close mine, and we will memorize every inch of one another," he whispered and began to move again. Complying with his request, Rin closed her eyes and relaxed back into the bed. Rin was oblivious but Sesshomaru well aware of the fact that the entire castle could hear their cries of ecstasy for well into the wee hours of the morning. When, spent, Rin tilted her head to the side and gazed up at him with tears in her eyes.
"Make me yours, and please let me come I beg you," she pleaded and reached to stroke his cheek. He slammed into her and she screamed as their passion reached its peak and his fangs sank into her neck. When he'd finally recovered from his revere, she was already snoring. Sesshomaru tried to dislodge himself but found he was...stuck? He rested his head against Rin's shoulder and swore to himself, remember the more gruesome details his cousins had been so kind to pass along about mating. With no other choice, and perfectly content regardless, he relaxed on top of her and fell into a peaceful slumber. Something that he'd only known recently, but was liking more and more every night.
...
Sesshomaru woke with the sun as usual, only sleeping for a couple of hours. Catching the smell of blood he opened his eyes and found the source, two small lines of not yet dried blood coming from what was now a forming scab on Rin's neck. He dipped his head and licked the blood until it stopped trickling, earning a whimper and moan of protest from her. He knew that hadn't felt good, the area was sure to be very sore.
"My lord...is it morning?" Her eyes fluttered open and she winced at the sunlight, drawing herself closer to his chest.
"Shh," he put a hand to the back of her head and smoothed her hair down. "Go back to sleep, my love."
"My neck hurts..." she grumbled.
"Is it unbearable?," he stilled himself.
"No. Annoying. Kiss it?"
"Of course," he dipped his head and kissed both little scabs where her neck met her shoulder.
"Better?"
"A little...I'm sleepy."
"Then sleep. I shall be here when you wake."
"I know," she yawned and snuggled back into his chest. He lay there for a long while, pondering what their lives would be now. Rin was so unsure that he wouldn't love his own child, ridiculous. Would the child love him? That was another question. He was crude and cold, hard to please on the best days, and moody to say the least. He huffed and stilled when Rin began to stirr.
"Sesshomaru? Are you alright?"
"Yes...no...it can wait. How are you feeling?"
"It hurts..."
"What?"
"Everything..." she furrowed her eyebrows but kept a brave face.
"I'll be right back, I won't go beyond our rooms I promise."
"Alright," she whispered and accepted a kiss. She lay back into the mountain of pillows at the head of their bed and sighed, the mark on her neck hurting the worst out of everything. She tentatively reached up and stroked the mark, wincing as her fingers made contact. Within seconds, Sesshomaru was back at her side with a small drawstring bag in one hand.
"Are you alright?," his face was etched with concern as nervous hands fluttered over her.
"Yes, no different than I was when you left, why?"
"I just...I felt you needed me..." he looked around the room as if looking for an explanation before finally sitting down on the side of the bed.
"Here," he took a little glass piece from the bag and pinched something out of a jar, filling the bowl at the top of the glass and handing it to her. "I'll show you," he held the pice to her mouth and she held still as he held his thumb over the little hole at the side of the bowl and lit it. "Now inhale...you smoke it Rin."
She furrowed her brows and took in a big gulp of air, holding it for a split second before devolving into a coughing fit. Once recovered, she took the glass from his hand and studied it.
"What is it?"
"It's a plant that you can smoke for pain relief. I don't think you took enough though," he frowned and stuck a claw down into it, shifting the contents around until he was satisfied.
"Here, would you like to try on your own?" He passed her the pipe and lit it for her again.
"Here," she grinned and passed it back to him. "You try."
"I don't know Rin...this isn't exactly recreational."
"Well why not give it a shot? Don't know it till you try it. It's making my head feel all floaty," she giggled and he rolled his eyes, holding the piece to his mouth and taking a long draw from it, coughing slightly.
"Yes...it is quite good. I think I'll have some more..." he reached for the small jar, taking out another small pinch and refilling the bowl.
...
Hours later, Jaken knocked on their door.
"Enter," Sesshomaru called.
"Milord," the Imp coughed as he entered the hazy room. "Milord? Is there a fire?," he looked around frantically before his eyes settled on the bed. Rin was laying across Sesshomaru's lap with a goofy grin splayed on her face. It was obvious to Jaken that the girl had been crying a great deal, as her eyes were blood red and slightly swollen, droopy even.
"R-I mean Lady Rin? Diaroku sent me to see if you are in need of more medicine."
"Let my uncle know that Rin has plenty until morning," Sesshomaru answered and Jaken gave a short nod.
"Oh, and bring me something sweet will you?" Rin called before devolving into another fit of giggles. Once he was gone, Sesshomaru put his long fingers on her cheek and gently turned her face toward him.
"Such beauty...," he whispered and stroked her bottom lip with his thumb.
"Oh Sesshomaru...stop your embarrassing me," she blushed.
"Such beauty you have brought me..." he trailed off into his own thoughts and Rin to hers, never breaking their gaze.
