Gratitued
Rin audibly swallowed at the view before her. Desperately she tried to tear her eyes away from the amazing view she never would have imagined was possible. How, in all the Gods' names, did he manage to look so damn hot? He was the biggest geek in school with long hair and thick framed glasses he wore part of the time, the nerd with the top grades who avoided any type of physical activity. Well, actually, that wasn't the truth and she knew it. She knew he was a great athlete, probably better than half the varsity players on all the teams, so it shouldn't surprise her that he looked the way he did. But still…why did he have to show off in front of her!
Swallowing again she managed to look away from the God-like teen standing a few feet away, rubbing a towel through his silver hair, causing his biceps to bunch with each movement. Her brown eyes focused on the paper before her, not really seeing the equations she was supposed to be working on, instead her mind focused on how she was placed in this situation.
Three Weeks Earlier
Her forehead smacked onto the lunch room table as a deep groan escaped her throat. This could not be happening.
"Ah, come on Rin, it can't be that bad." Kagome tried to reassure her friend.
"Wanna bet?" Rin groaned, not lifting her head as she raised her hand and the paper clutched in it. The other dark-haired teenager took the paper and gasped when she read the bright red number circled on the top corner. Rin lifted her head slightly at the sound. "Told you."
"A 34, wow, you weren't kidding." Kagome grimaced as she handed the paper back. "I thought you spent all weekend studying, what happened?"
"I was studying!" Rin defended, crumpling the paper in her fist. "But then Keade had to have help with her shopping. That took hours alone! Then, when I got a chance to study again, Ayame had to have her little break-down and text me constantly." She shot the red-head a slight glare.
"I already apologized, like, a hundred times. And you have to admit it was a big issue." Ayame shrugged as she sipped at her shake.
"It wouldn't have been if you had been more careful!" Rin hissed, throwing her balled up paper at her friend. Ayame ducked, causing the white ball to wiz past her and hit the person walking behind her, falling into his book. Rin paid no attention to the boy, instead focusing her eyes on the laughing red-head.
"Damn," the sudden chuckle caught her attention as someone stepped up to her. "And I thought you were average, Rin. Guess you just proved me wrong." A pale male hand placed a wrinkled paper on the table. "A 34, you should be so proud."
Rin growled as she narrowed her eyes at the boy. "Oh, shut up, Sesshomaru." She snatched up the paper, still glaring at him. "We all can't be prodigal geniuses, oh brilliant one."
"No," Sesshomaru chuckled, pushing his thick rimmed glasses up his nose as his golden gaze flashed amusingly at her. "But most could at least get a 70 on a simple math test. It's amazing how you are still able to wear that uniform." He nodded to indicate her green and white cheerleading uniform she, and the other girls at the table, was wearing.
"Ooo, go away, smart-ass!" Rin snapped, hunching in her chair with her arms crossed over her chest as she refused to look at him.
Sesshomaru chuckled again and patted her head before walking away, returning to his reading. Rin watched him from the corner of her eye, admiring the gentle swishing of his silver hair with each step he took. She huffed again and turned back to her friends.
"He just gets on my nerves sometimes." She grumbled.
"But he has a point, Rin." Sango pointed out, popping a fry into her mouth. "With that grade your class grade will drop a lot, putting you on the border line of a failing grade."
"And you know how Mrs. Midoriko is about the cheer team keeping their grades up." Kagome added.
"I know, I know." Rin groaned again.
"Seriously, Rin, what's up? You used to be alright in math." Ayame questioned.
"Simple math, with numbers only, I can handle. It's all the letters and extra symbols I can't take. I just can't seem to understand the stupid equations." She dropped her head onto the table again. "No matter how hard I study I just can't understand them!"
"Well, you could do what Inuyasha does." Kagome offered with a shrug.
"Pick a fight with my teacher?"
"No," the other couldn't help put chuckle. "Get a tutor. Inuyasha needed one in history and math or else he was going to be kicked off the football team. If you want, you can study with us."
"Yeah, right. Kags, you are also his girlfriend." Rin pointed out. "And, while his grades have improved, I really don't want to be there during one of your 'study' sessions."
Kagome blushed a deep red while Ayame and Sango laughed. Rin smiled at them as her friend's suggestion fully sank in. 'I should get help. If I can't get my grade up then I'll be kicked off the squad. But who could and would be willing to help me?' A second later the answer to her question popped into her mind, causing her to gasp and jump to her feet.
"I've got it!" She exclaimed before running from the lunch room, leaving her friends stunned by her action. She tore through the school's building towards the one place she knew her savior was. Just as she rounded a corner of the building, heading for the outdoor break area, she caught a flash of silver. Smiling brightly she picked up her speed.
"Sesshomaru!" She called and, just as he turned, she jumped on him.
His eyes widened a moment before she hit him, sending them both to the ground. He grunted as his back hit the grass softened ground and she landed on top of him. It took him a minute to catch his breath before he blinked up at the girl on his chest. Rin moaned softly as she sat up, regretting her action before remembering why she'd done it. Shifting slightly she straddled his waist and beamed down at him.
"Is there any reason why you suddenly felt the need to tackle me?" Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow at her, to curious as to the reason behind the sudden fall.
"I need you!" Her smile only grew while his eyes widened.
"W-what?"
"I need your help!" She rephrased, suddenly realizing what she'd said…and where she was sitting. Quickly she rolled off him, allowing him to sit up.
"My help? With what?" He asked, leaning up on his elbow.
"Math. I want you to tutor me."
Once again he raised an eyebrow at her. "You want me to tutor you?"
She nodded her head vigorously. "Yep, what do you say?"
"Why should I?" He said after a moment, slowly rising to his feet and brushing off his pants. "I have a lot of work to do."
"Come on Sesshomaru." Rin begged, scrambling to her feet as he began to walk away. "I need your help. If I can't get my grade up by the next test I'll be kicked off the squad."
"And that affects me how?"
Rin pouted at him, confused by his cold behavior. They had been friends since preschool. Sure they weren't as close since entering High School; Rin taking the path of cheerleader and popularity while Sesshomaru choose the path of geeky bookworm and loner. But that didn't mean they stopped being friends, right?
"Please Maru." She spoke in a desperate voice. "It's our senior year, I have to pass this class. I just need help understanding the equations. Couldn't you find the time to help me at least until the next test? That's all I need. I'll do anything. Please!"
Sesshomaru stopped to look back at the pleading girl. He wanted to say no, to tell her to find someone else, but…a larger part of him, the part that was still in love with his best friend, wouldn't let him. She needed his help and what right did he have to refuse it. After all she was there for him all those times he needed someone. Finally his internal conflict settled and his shoulders dropped with a heavy sigh at the desperate pleading brown eyes staring at him.
"Fine." He sighed. "I'll help you, but only until your grade improves."
"You will?" She asked in shock before pouncing on him again, nearly knocking them over. "Oh, thank you, Maru! Thank you!" She hugged him tightly as she bounced.
"Yeah, yeah." He grumbled, pealing her off him. "I'm helping you, but it's on my terms."
"Alright." She nodded, still smiling brightly. "Just not during practice."
"We can work around that. We'll start tomorrow after your practice. My house." He said without any room for argument, not that she would have argued anyways. "Do you still remember where it is?"
"Of course. It's not like I could forget." She chuckled and held out her hand. "So, we have a deal?"
He looked at her hand for a moment before clapping his larger one around it. "Yeah, we have a deal."
That had been three weeks ago and nearly every day she'd been over to his house, seated either on his bed or at his desk, while he helped her understand the annoying calculus problems. But each of those days had been nothing like this. Each time he'd been completely dressed in sweatpants and a large t-shirt with his hair pulled into a ponytail and his glasses firmly on his face. Each time he looked like the geeky, bookworm she was used to. Okay, once she'd arrived early and caught him in his workout cloths, drenched in sweat and no glasses. And while, she could easily admit, he looked hot she had expected it.
This, however, she was not!
Today she didn't have practice so they decided to walk to his place together, something they had done a few times. Except, today the weather decided to change on them, sending a down pour on them halfway there. They had been soaked by the time they made it through the front door. Since her clothes were soaked he'd given her an old t-shirt that was more like a dress on her (given that he was much taller than her and his pants would just fall off her much smaller frame). He'd allowed her to change and dry off in his bathroom. Once she was finished she'd opened the door without thought, talking happily, only to freeze when she saw him removing his shirt.
Her eyes grew when she was given a full view of his six-pack. Never had she seen something so sexy before. And never had she'd imagined it would be in the form of her oldest friend. Seeing him shirtless with dripping wet hair clinging to his body, water trailing slowly down his amazing chest and abs to dip beneath the sweatpants he wore sparked something in her body she was not exactly familiar with. When did he become so sexy?
Now, she sat in the center of his bed trying desperately not to look up at him, given that he hadn't put on a shirt yet.
"You alright?" The sudden sound of his voice caused her to jump. "You've been staring at that paper without moving for a bit."
"I was?" Her cheeks tinted slightly in embarrassment. "Sorry, I was just thinking."
"Hopefully about math." He flashed a smile before tossing his towel into the hamper and walking up to her. "That your homework?"
"Yeah." She tried her best to sound normal despite the presence of the half naked man next to her. "Um, I…I managed to work on some of them during Study Hall."
"Let me see." He took the paper and sat next to her, scanning the work she'd already done.
Rin stiffened the moment he sat next to her. She could feel the heat coming from him at his closeness. Trying to calm her sudden haywire nerves she took a deep breath, drawing in his pure masculine scent. It did nothing to help her.
"Looks like you're getting the hang of it. All of them are correct." He said, handing her the paper and standing again.
"Yeah, I'm really understanding the equations!" She said happily, glad to focus on something aside from his body. "I even get the new stuff. And it's all thanks to your tutoring."
He returned her smile with a small one of his own. "Good, then you'll be ready for your test tomorrow."
That had her smile dropping. That's right, her test was tomorrow and that meant their deal was at an end. After all, it was only until her next test and this was her next test. She should be happy, she had a good chance of getting a good grade and staying on the cheer squad, yet…she felt miserable. Her heart felt like a vice was wrapped around it, squeezing until she thought it was going to stop. Why was she feeling this?
'Why do I suddenly feel like my heart is being squeezed?' She thought, looking down at the paper he'd handed back. 'It's not like I won't be seeing him anymore. There's still school…and the parties Inuyasha throws…and…' Her thoughts trailed off when she realized she was desperately coming up with reasons to see her best friend. 'This is stupid! He's my oldest friend, I don't need to come up reason to see him. God, I feel as if I'm acting like a love sick fan girl.'
It took a moment for that thought to fully sink in and when it did she stiffened. Her brown eyes widened as she looked over at Sesshomaru who was now rummaging through his dresser. She had a clear view of his toned back and long silver hair, her fingers suddenly itching to dig into the silken tresses.
'Oh…God…' She screamed silently. 'I…I can't believe it. I've…I've actually…fallen…in love…and with my best friend. How did this happen?'
"Rin, you alright?" Sesshomaru waved his hand in front of her face, causing her to jump. "You look pale all of a sudden. What's up?"
"N-nothing." She stammered, jumping to her feet and away from him slightly. With shaky hands she stumbled to pick up her papers and book, her thoughts moving a hundred miles a minute at her revelation. "I-I have to go. I promised Kaede I'd make dinner tonight." She lied.
Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow at her, confused by her sudden withdraw. "I thought you wanted help studying for your test."
"I-It's alright. I'll…I'll just study at home." She glanced up at him, her cheeks heating a bit. "If I have a question I'll call you." She tried to smile at him before turning and trying to make her escape. That was until he grabbed her arm.
"Wait." He called as he gently grabbed her arm. "You really plan on walking home right now?"
"Y-yeah." She could feel her cheeks beginning to burn at his touch. "Why?"
"Well, for one, it's practically a hurricane out there." He pointed to his window to prove his point. Sure enough, it was now storming like crazy out there, lightning brightening the sky followed by loud booms of thunder.
How had she not noticed the storm?
"And two," he spoke again, drawing her attention back to him. "I'm not letting you go anywhere like that, even if it wasn't raining."
This time she knew her face was glowing from the heat she felt in her cheeks. Embarrassment was too mild of a word to describe what she was feeling. She'd almost walked out of his house…of his room, dressed in nothing but her undies and his shirt. A squeak escaped her as her hands instantly went to the hymn of his borrowed shirt and pulled it down.
"Oh, my…" she breathed, falling onto his desk chair. "I can't believe I almost went out like this."
"Might as well get comfy, Rin." He chuckled as another flash of lightning caught his eye. "There's no way you're going to get home tonight."
'WHAT!' She screamed silently, back stiffening as she stared out the window. Rain pelted the glass of the window as lighting flashed across the sky, nearly blinding her. A loud crack of thunder followed, causing her to jump slightly. 'Oh, why is this happening to me?' With a loud groan she let her head drop to his desk. 'All I wanted was to pass my damned math class. And, maybe, reconnect better with my old friend.'
Sesshomaru watched silently as Rin went on her mental rant. He sighed when her fingers tugged on her hair, desperately wishing it was his fingers instead of hers. It took a lot of self control to not walk up to her, toss her on his bed, and have his way with her like he'd often dreamed. Of course, that would never happen! For one, he cared for her too much and valued her friendship, despite the slight distance between them. And second…he was way too inexperienced at 'having his way' with a woman.
Hell, he'd never even been on a date, how did he expect to please Rin, who'd had a few boyfriends already? Not that he would even think she was slutty or anything, but she must have some experience in…that matter.
Rin groaned again after a boom of thunder, drawing him out of his own mental rant.
"Come on, Rin. It's not like you've never slept over before." He said, trying to cheer her up. She mumbled something into his desk that he just passed off as her grumbling. "Besides, this gives you a better chance to study without your siblings annoying you."
"True." She sighed, sitting up and turning to face him. "Guess I could be stuck some place a lot worse."
"Yeah," he rolled his eyes. "You could be stuck in a different mansion. One that didn't have an indoor swimming pool. How would you survive the night?"
"Shut up, Maru." Rin tried to hide her smile but failed. However, her smile instantly faded when she winced at the sudden flash of lightning.
Remembering her old fear of storms, Sesshomaru remembered what would make her feel better. "What do you say we go eat? It's getting late and I'm sure Izayoi made brownies today."
Rin raised an eyebrow at his suggestion. "Brownies? Why, Maru, are suggesting we have dessert for dinner?"
"Of course not, I was merely pointing out what we could snack on while we watch one of those ridiculous Disney movies you enjoy so much after diner. I think there's some leftover fish from yesterday." He grinned at the sudden light in her eyes.
"Brownies, Disney movies, and Izayoi's fish fillet, you know me far too well, my old friend." She giggled, jumping up from the chair.
"As I should. Now, would you like to eat while we work on our homework and study?" He held out his hand with a slight bow.
"I would love to." She giggled again, grabbing her backpack before taking his hand and letting him lead her to the kitchen.
Rin shifted anxiously from foot to foot as the teacher before her continued to go over the answers on the paper. Her teeth made a quick appearance to bite into her lower lips as the older woman reached the final problem. The final problem that Rin swore she knew. After all, it had been similar to the last thing Sesshomaru had helped her understand last night. That realization caused her mind to drift to last night.
After dinner they took a break from studying to watch Cinderella, which they only got about half way through before they ended up in a pillow fight, caused by Sesshomaru's constant mocking. It proved to be a good distraction from the storm, helping her fall asleep easily in the guest room across from his. Until there was that loud crack of thunder that had her jumping from her bed and running into Sesshomaru's without thinking.
At first he'd tried to send her back to the guest room but gave up when she refused to let go of him. For a moment he cursed her irrational fear of thunder before eventually falling back asleep, his arm wrapped protectively around her. Rin had fallen asleep awhile later, head resting on his chest as she listened to his heartbeat. Sure she'd done it many times as a kid when she'd spent the night, but this time she couldn't help but feel a sense of rightness. Waking up had been a little weird but there hadn't been that horrible awkwardness she'd expected.
"Well, Miss Rin." The teacher finally spoke, drawing the young woman from her thoughts. The older woman straightened in her chair and offered a kind smile, handing over the paper. "It's not a perfect but congrats, you've passed."
Rin took the paper, eyes widening at the red 93 circled at the top. She'd passed! That meant she was going to be able to stay on the squad! "Thank you!"
"Hey, you earned that grade. Just keep it up." The woman nodded.
"I will." Rin promised before running out of the classroom, intent on telling her friends the good news. And the first to know was going to be her oldest. She was so excited that she ran all the way to his house, impatiently ringing the doorbell and knocking on the door.
Sesshomaru opened the door only to come face to face with the graded paper.
"I passed!" Rin exclaimed, bouncing slightly.
"I see that. Congrats." He offered a smile, stepping aside to allow her to enter.
"It's all thanks to you. If you hadn't agreed to help me I never would have passed." She continued to beam up at him as she glomped him.
"You were an adequate student." He laughed, hugging her back for a moment. "I'd say I lived up to my end of the agreement quite well. Let's celebrate." His hand snagged hers and started to pull her towards the kitchen.
But his words zapped away all of her excitement. Their deal was done, he'd promised to help until her next test and that had been her next test. There was no reason for her to come over anymore, no reason for them to be together anymore. No! She didn't want that, she wanted to be near him. Her feet reacted to the panic she suddenly felt and seemed to stick to the tiled floor.
"Sesshomaru," she called softly, causing him to look back at her, eyebrow raised. Swallowing her nerves she stepped closer, placing her hand on his chest. "Thank you for everything." She shot up onto her toes and kissed him.
To say Sesshomaru was shocked was an understatement. He was frozen the moment Rin's soft lips touched his. This had to be a dream! There was no way Rin was kissing him. But that thought went poof when she pressed a little harder against him and her tongue passed across his lower lip. He couldn't stop from moaning any more then he could've stopped his arms from wrapping around her or his mouth from returning her kiss. Not that he wanted to, he was in heaven after all.
Rin gave her own soft moan when he began to return her kiss. Her head was beginning to spin at the masculine taste that was pure Sesshomaru and she loved it! Wanting more she wrapped her arms around his neck to pull him closer and tilted her head, deepening the kiss even more. She was amused at how clumsily he began to return her kiss. His hands dug into her hips while his lips were slightly rough on her, his teeth scrapping her upper lip gently.
Eventually, when both desperately needed air, she pulled back slightly and looked up at his face. He was blushing a bright pink as his hooded amber eyes stared down at hers. There was no denying he enjoyed the kiss but she could easily read the confusion and hesitation mixed with the desire brightening his gaze. Not wanting to risk him running off she struck again, this time coaxing him into the right movements, teaching him how to properly kiss.
Sesshomaru was the one to pull back this time when he needed air. Dumbly he blinked down at her, extremely confused by her sudden actions. "Rin," he had to pause to clear his suddenly hoarse voice. "What are you doing?"
"Showing my thanks." She gave him her best sexy smirk, leaning into him again. "And don't tell me you didn't enjoy it." Before he could respond her lips were on his once again, claiming and teaching. And he was helpless to fight against her, forced to follow her lead like the love sick puppy he was.
Rin grew bolder with this kiss, sending her tongue out to get a better taste of the young man she was pressed against. Gods, he tasted so good. Her tongue met his in the warm shelter of his mouth and she began to lead the muscle into following and dueling her own. It took only a moment before Sesshomaru became confident enough to become a bit independent and seek out the taste of her mouth. The kiss was quickly becoming too intense.
With a deep moan of pleasure Rin slowly removed her mouth from his, nipping his lower lip as she went. They stared at each other for a few seconds, trying to catch their breath, Sesshomaru too shocked to do anything else and Rin trying to gather her nerves for what she wanted to do next. Offering a small smile she took his hand and began to lead him away from the kitchen and up to the stairs. Still stunned by the strange behavior of his childhood friend, Sesshomaru allowed Rin to lead him up the stairs and down the hall.
This was it, there was no going back. The closer they got to her destination the harder her heart pounded with anticipation. Blood pounded in her ears so loudly she thought she was going to go deaf. At least until she heard the faint but frantic beating of another heart. Apparently Sesshomaru was as nervous as she was, or at least he became that way when she reached for the knob to his door.
"Rin…" his voice was barely audible and filled with confusion and nervousness. The hand she was holding began to shake slightly as the door opened.
She didn't respond to the unasked question, instead she gave a gentle tug on his arm, pulling him into the dark room and shut the door behind him. Once they were safely locked inside she grew slightly bolder and kissed him again. A smile tugged at her lips when she felt him moan, willing opening his mouth to allow her to further teach him. A task she gladly accepted. As she preoccupied his mind by showing him how to kiss, she slowly pushed him back towards the bed.
The edge of the bed suddenly came in contact with the back of his knees, causing him to lose his balance then, with a slight push from Rin, he fell onto the soft mattress. Wide eyes stared up at the beauty smiling down at him. He watched as she lifted her skirt a little and climbed on top of him, straddling his hips. On instinct his hands went to rest on her hips, gripping them as if to ground himself.
"Wh…what are you doing, Rin?" He managed to ask, his voice rough. He couldn't think properly, not with his dreams coming true. He knew what she was doing but…why?
"I'm saying thank you." She answered, leaning down to nip at his chin, her fingers moving to work on the buttons of his shirt. "Do you want me to stop?"
A loud moan answered her when she ran her tongue up the column of his neck. She smirked against his smooth skin before nipping gently. Her fingers popped the first three buttons free with ease and without his knowing…until her mouth hit the bare pale skin of his chest. He moaned again, giving her the courage to go further. Moving faster she made quick work of the rest of his shirt, pulling back so she could look at that magnificent chest again.
"Perfect." She whispered, trailing her hand down the hard plains of his revealed chest.
"Rin…" he tried to speak again but found it very difficult when her hands began to roam. Her touch was light, almost hesitant, but caused a trail of fire in its wake. That fire instantly grew and pooled into his goin, making him even harder. "Rin."
She loved the sound of her name coming from his lips like that, it caused a shiver of pleasure to race down her spine. Again…she wanted to hear it again. Pushing his shirt open further she began her attack, kissing and nipping at his flesh. There was no way she was going to stop now.
She was going to kill him! He never would have imagined she'd cause such intense pleasure by just touching and kissing his chest. Whatever he was going to say was history now, he was putty in her hands. The only thing he was capable of doing was moaning and slightly bucking his hips. It didn't help when she lowered her mouth to his ear, nibbling on the lobe.
"Again, Maru." She whispered huskily in his ear, flicking the lobe with her tongue.
That name, her name for him, combined with the desire filled voice nearly had him coming. "Rin." He moaned her name again, bucking his hips a little harder against her.
This time she gasped along with him. The sensation of the bulge in his pants rubbing against her panty covered core was almost too much. Rin pulled back again to look down into his bright golden eyes, panting slightly. They stared at each other for a moment before he reached up and pulled her down, claiming her mouth for his own. He led this time and she let him.
Sesshomaru didn't know what came over him but he didn't fight it. Desperately he claimed her mouth, his hands roughly yanking her flush against him. She moaned and melted into him, amazed at his sudden boldness. It did surprise her a little when he began to tug her shirt free from her skirt. To help him out she began to unbutton the top two buttons so that she could just whisk the article off. Her brown eyes focused on him as she dropped her shirt and bared her bra covered chest to his gaze. His golden gaze widened in astonishment.
"R-Rin," his voice cracked a little as he stared at her breasts before looking into her eyes.
"Shh," she hushed him by putting her fingers over his mouth. "No more talking." She leaned down again to claim his mouth, rocking her hips slightly against his hard member. When he broke the kiss to gasp she once again began to kiss and nip her way down his neck and chest. If she was going to get what she wanted she had to make his incredible brain shut down. And she knew how to do that.
Rin paused at his nipple, tweaking it slightly before nipping it hard enough to sting. He gasped and arched slightly before moaning when she licked the sting away. She toyed with one peak for a few moments before switching to the other, wanting to give it the same attention. By the way he was moaning and the grip on her waist she could tell her plan was working. Grinning she slipped her hand to the waistband of his pants and, glancing up at his pleasure filled face, she went for her prize.
The moment her fingers touched his member any and all thought ceased in his brain. It took everything he had to just remember to breathe. Then the torture started. She circled his member with her dainty hand, enjoying the feel of velvet over steel, and slowly began to pump while her mouth moved back to his neck.
"Oh, God…Rin." Sesshomaru groaned, his fingers digging almost painfully into her waist.
Rin moaned in response and pulled back to look back down at him, squeezing his cock a bit. He gasped and looked up at her, vision blurred slightly from the pleasure she was giving him. When she was sure she had his attention she used her free hand to unhook her bra, smirking when she felt his breathing freeze. She then took one of his hands from her waist to place it on one of her bare breasts, leading his fingers in the movements.
"Only fair that you get to play with me." She answered his silent question while continuing her ministration on his member.
For a long moment he didn't move, he just frowned up at her. Somehow his brain clicked back on and began fighting with the intense desire controlling him. He didn't know what had cause Rin to act like this but he knew there was no stopping her. Not like he really wanted to, either, if he was honest. The problem was that…he didn't know what to do. And that is what gave him pause.
"Rin, I…" he gulped and groaned when she teased the tip of his cock, his hand snagging her wrist to still her touching so he could think. "Are you sure?"
The smile she gave him was gentle and, dare he wish, loving. She released his hand and removed her hand from under his pants, lowering her upper body until she was pressed against him fully. Her fingers threaded through his loose silver hair as she rested her forehead against his.
"If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't be here." She whispered, kissing him again. "Now, stop thinking." Her teeth nipped his lip as she chuckled. She attempted to return to her previous task while attacking his neck only to suddenly find herself flat on her back. A surprised gasp escaped her as she blinked up at him, shocked. She didn't expect him to do anything.
"Show me." He whispered, golden eyes burning with desire and confusion. "Show me how to please you. You toyed with me and now it's my turn, just like you said."
Rin's eyes grew hooded at the slight purr in his voice that seemed to vibrate through her body. Without a word she took hold of his hand and returned it to her breast, squeezing her hand around his to show him how to touch her. "Do what you want to me."
Nodding at her words he slowly began to experiment. Gently he squeezed and rubbed the soft mound, amazed at the feel of it and sensation of her hardened nipple rubbing his palm. His eyes shot to hers as she arched slightly, releasing a moan when he tweaked the peak. That had his attention drawn completely to the tiny bead.
"Mouth," She gasped, her hand digging into his hair to push his head closer. "Use your mouth and tongue, Maru."
Complying with her request he took the peak into his mouth, flicking it with his tongue. Rin gasped louder and arched higher into his mouth. "More." It was more of a growl but he happily followed her command. As his mouth played with one of her nipples and breasts his hand paid attention to the other. The louder her moans became the more courage he got. When he switched sides, his free hand grew bolder and trailed down her bare stomach to the top of her skirt.
"Rin?" He questioned, pulling back to look up at her.
In response she used one hand to unfasten the button of her skirt and lifted her hips off the bed. Taking her cue he slowly pulled the skirt off her hips and down her long legs. It soon found its place among the other scattered articles of clothing, leaving the girl clad in only her underwear. His hand moved to hover nervously over her core, surprised by the heat coming from her secret area.
Rin smiled at the nervous look in his eyes and decided to help him. Taking his hand in hers she led it to her core, placing his palm flat against her panties. She moaned at the touch, arching slightly, before slowly moving his hand against her mound. This time Sesshomaru moaned, lowering his body closer to hers as he took over the rubbing. Just touching her gave him intense pleasure.
"God, Sesshomaru." Rin moaned, bucking against his hand as her hand found his head again. Roughly she pulled him down so she could claim his mouth.
Once more he felt his courage grow, allowing him to dip his hand beneath her underwear. The moment his bare palm touched her bare core both moaned loudly, breaking the kiss. Driven by instinct his long fingers found the slit between her nether lips, finding her dripping wet for him. He groaned , head dropping to the crook of her neck as she arched at his sudden touch.
"Maru…more…" she gasped, bucking her hips against his hand, seeking the pleasure he could give her.
In response he kissed her neck while his middle finger stroked her, finding her entrance. Gently he pushed his finger into her core, taking courage from her pleased moan. God, she was tight. Slowly he moved his finger, remembering what he had once read in one of his brother's perverted books. It didn't seem like it was enough though, so, while watching her reaction, he carefully added another finger.
She moaned louder, bucking harder. "Move…in, out." She groaned, her hands digging into his hair. He did as he was told, moving his fingers inside her while his mouth sought her breasts again. Rin was in paradise as Sesshomaru grew bolder with her body. She'd never experienced such pleasure and wasn't all that surprised that she was feeling it from her oldest friend.
Desperate to find her release and seek the greatest form of pleasure she removed one of her hands from his silken hair to assist his at her core. With a groan she began to rub the small bundle of nerves while he continued to pump his fingers and suck her breasts. When he gave a growl and removed her hand she tried to fight him, only to throw her head back in a silent scream as he added another finger to the ones pumping and used his thumb to take over what she'd been doing.
"Oh…God…M-Maru…" she panted, bucking wildly against him. "C-can't…hold on. Gonna…ah…gonna come."
He pulled back at her words, an urge to see her as he sent her to her euphoric high controlling him. Adding slightly more pressure to her clit as he rubbed and wiggling his fingers just a bit granted him that sight. He watched with wonder as the girl beneath him bowed off the bed, into his body, releasing a cry of pleasure as her inner walls clamped around his fingers. Warm liquid rushed over his digits and he felt himself nearly release inside his pants. The image and the feel of her coming was so erotic, intensified only by the knowledge that he'd caused it.
When the last waves of her release faded, Rin fell back to the bed and panted. Never had her release been so powerful…and never had it been so empty. One look at the awed boy staring down at her and she knew why her release wasn't very fulfilling. She watched, moaning weakly, as he removed his fingers from inside her and brought the drenched digits to his mouth. Instant arousal hit her again as he tentatively licked at the fluid then greedily cleaned his fingers.
"You taste delicious, Rin." He murmured softly, a slight blush staining his cheeks.
She couldn't take it anymore! Shooting up, she grabbed his head and kissed him roughly, pulling him back down so that they were once again pressed flush against each other. Her tongue desperately sought his, enjoying the taste of herself mixed with him. As they fought for dominance in the kiss, her hands impatiently pushed at his pants.
"Rin," he groaned when he felt the cloth slide against his sensitive skin.
"Need you." She moaned against his mouth, rocking against him hungrily. "I need you so bad."
Nodding he assisted in removing his pants while keeping contact with her lips. Once his clothing was tossed aside he went for the last thing separating them…her panties. But when he was about to gently slide them off, her petite hand encircled his pulsing member. All thought of delicate origin evaporated and he yanked roughly at the material, ripping them from her body. Rin gasped at the slight sting of her underwear being ripped off her but couldn't have cared less. She needed him inside her…now!
He settled back over her, chest to chest and thigh to thigh, but kept his manhood away from his ultimate goal. Finally breaking the kiss he pulled back to look down at her, a single thought surviving the lust taking over his brain.
"Rin, I…I don't have a…a condom." He groaned as she began stroking him again.
"Don't care." She replied, raising her head to nip at the underside of his jaw. "On the pill."
"You…God…you sure?" He couldn't last much longer.
"Yes!" The word came out as a hiss against his ear and it was all he needed.
Sesshomaru let her line his member up against her entrance and, while staring down into her brown eyes, he thrust home into her. In one stroke he buried himself to the hilt in her scorching heat, breaking his virginal status…and, to his utter surprise, hers. Rin cried out in pleasure/pain as he filled her, arching in his hold. He froze at the sound, unable to process what he'd just done and what it had meant.
"Rin?" He blinked at her, slowly pulling his hips back to remove himself from her and end her pain.
"No!" She hissed, her hands grabbing his butt and pushing him back inside. Both moaned at the friction the action caused. "Don't you dare end this." There was no denying her demand, especially when she carefully began rocking her hips against his.
It took all his strength not to thrust against her as she moved to lessen the pain of his intrusion. Her nails scratched lightly at the skin of his butt before moving up his back to rest at his shoulder blades. He had to squeeze his eyes shut to better focus the last of his will power. That was…until she nipped the crook of his neck and whispered the one word that shattered his control. "Maru."
Everything was gone at that point, nothing was stopping him from withdrawing from her just enough so that the head of his member was left uniting them and then thrusting his hips forward, sheathing himself once again within her. Her cry that time was one of pure bliss and encouraged him to do it again and again and again.
Rin's nails dug into his shoulders as he thrust into her, steadily increasing his speed and intensity. The pain from her perfect nails added to the jolts of pleasure flowing through his body until there was nothing else he could feel aside from the pleasure of making love to her. Wanting more contact and allowing his instincts complete control, Sesshomaru dropped his head to Rin's exposed throat and began to kiss and nip at her flesh, moving downward to her breasts.
To say she was in pure bliss was not even close to the truth. Rin had shot far past bliss and directly into her own personal heaven the moment he began to move. And when his mouth found her breasts…was there a greater place than heaven? She didn't know but, if there was, she had defiantly found it. Seeking even more of what Sesshomaru gave her, Rin began to move with him, sloppily at first before her hips found the rhythm his had set.
It was all becoming too much!
Her moans grew louder and louder with each thrust and suck he made, his name falling like a chant from her swollen lips. Soon his voice, chanting her name, mixed with her voice and the sound of their bodies moving together. Pleasure was building to the point of exploding, just out of reach and he didn't know what to do to send them both higher than the stars.
"R-Rin," he moaned, rotating his hips slightly as he thrust into her, earning himself a cry of pleasure. "So c…close."
"Me…too." She moaned back, her arms tightening around his back to pull his even closer. "Harder, Maru. More."
With a grunt Sesshomaru braced his forearms by her head and dug his toes into the matrices, using the new found leverage to thrust harder into her scorching core. Her cries were erotic and enticing but not enough, they needed more. So, in a desperate attempt to seek his and her release, he took her mouth in his once more and gave a particularly hard thrust with his hips, succeeding in hitting that bundle of nerves deep within her core.
Rin bowed off the bed with a scream of intense pleasure as her release struck, shockwave and shockwave exploded within her. Her inner walls tightened almost painfully around his hard, throbbing member. He lasted two more thrusts before his own body exploded with pleasure. His hips bucked roughly against hers, burring himself deep within her as he came, stream after stream of his seed shooting into her. The feel of him releasing inside her somehow sent Rin into another blinding orgasm, leaving her with only the ability to hold on tightly to him as countless waves washed from one to the other and back.
It felt like forever and yet only seconds for their bodies to start falling from their euphoric highs. Still Rin clung to Sesshomaru, who had partially collapsed on top of her, both panting desperately to regain their breathing. She felt weightless beneath his comforting weight, as if she had no real body. Never did she want this moment to end, it was too wonderful. If she could have her way, Rin would have had Sesshomaru stay where he was for the rest of time.
However, the man in question had other plans. With a groan Sesshomaru managed to heave himself up slightly and roll onto his back, tugging Rin with him given that she hadn't released him yet.
"That was…" he trailed off, unable to find the appropriate word within his large brain to describe the moment they had just shared.
"Yeah," She could do nothing but moan in response, her body still like jell-o.
Silence stretched between them, the only sound filling the room was that of their calming breathing. Lazily Sesshomaru drew circles across Rin's bare back while she did the same to his bare chest. Neither felt the need to more or speak, but to simply bask in the afterglow of their coupling. At least, until Sesshomaru's brain kick started and the realization of what had actually happened sank in.
"Rin?" He spoke softly, afraid of breaking the serenity of the moment.
"Hm?" She moaned, eyes closed as she continued to draw on his chest.
"Why?" It was all he could manage but he knew she understood. Her finger ceased its movements and she released a deep sigh.
"Because I wanted to." She finally answered.
"Why me, Rin?" He clarified his question, shifting slightly so he could rest his head on his pillow. His amber eyes fixating on the ceiling. "You've had boyfriends. Why, after dating them and denying them, did you…"
"Jump you?" She supplied, not lifting her head from its spot on his shoulder. "Because, Maru, I never wanted to be with them like that. I really care for you and, since I learned about sex, I wanted you to be my first." Her cheeks heated at her confession.
Sesshomaru blinked down at the top of her head, unsure of what to make of her words. "But…why now? All these years together, why now?"
She pulled back to look down at him and smiled. "Because…I never really knew what I wanted until I started spending more time with you again. Helping me pass my test was just the…kick I needed to act."
"So…" he frowned, brows knitting together as regret flashed in his gaze. "I was just a good lay for you?"
She reared back in shock, as if he'd hit her. "What? No! God, no, Sesshomaru. How could you think that?"
"What else am I supposed to think, Rin?" He shot back, sitting up fully now so that they were staring at each other at the same level. "We haven't really talked for the past few years when you all of a sudden want my help. Then after helping you pass you, in a form of self gratification and 'gratitude,' you practically jump me. How else am I supposed to take what just happened?"
"You're supposed to have a better opinion of me." She countered. "You should know I'm not the type of girl to use her body or looks to get her something. Hell, you just took my virginity."
"And you took mine." He shot back, eyes flashing with hurt and betrayal. "You have no idea what it felt like to have you suddenly start kissing me, Rin. I thought I was dreaming again only to find out that it was far better than my dreams and had nothing to do with you loving me." He sighed and ran a hand through his long hair before pinning her with his piercing amber gaze. "Rin, I've been in love with you since I can remember and what we just did was something I've always wanted to do with you. But not because you just felt a strong moment of lust and-"
The rest of his sentence was cut short by a pair of soft lips pressing against his in an urgent, needy kiss. He was shocked by the sudden attack, falling backwards do to the force with which Rin used as she attacked him again. He wanted to push her off him and be angry but…the way her mouth felt against his and the sense of joy in her kiss was too much for him to pass up. So, instead, he returned her kiss until they were both beyond breathless.
"Stupid Maru." Rin panted, placing her forehead against his. "As if I would allow lust to control me. No, the reason I attacked you was because I've been dreaming about you. I've dreamed of your touch, your kisses, your taste, everything about you. And you know why?" He didn't answer, merely stared up at her glowing face. "I did this because I do love you, Sesshomaru. I always have, it just took me a bit longer to realize it."
His eyes grew wider at her confession, not sure if he was hearing her right. "You…you love me?"
"With all my heart." She chuckled and tapped his nose. "Do you honestly and truly think I would have slept with you if I didn't?"
He thought about that for a moment and realized she wouldn't have. Rin may be on the cheer squad and be one of the most popular girls in school but she was not the typical stereotype of the category she belonged in. No, Rin had her morals and rules, and she did her very best to follow them.
"No, I really don't think you would have." He answered with a smile of his own. "I just wish you would have told me first."
"Yeah, probably would have been easier but I wasn't really thinking in that moment." She shrugged and kissed the tip of his nose then his chin. "So, do you regret what we just did?"
"I would regret it if our lives were drastically changed over it, but at this moment, no, I far from regret it." He replied while brushing back some of her hair.
"I wouldn't worry about our lives being 'drastically changed' because of this. I'm on the pill and I have a way of getting those morning after pills. As much as I love you and what we did, I really don't want to raise a baby just yet."
"You and me both." Sesshomaru agreed earnestly, though…the thought of Rin rounded with his child was a pleasant image.
"Good, then if I were you, I'd find a way of getting some condoms." She couldn't help but giggle at the blush tinting his cheeks. "It's always best to be over cautious about this but since I've had you once, there's no way I'm going to be able to stay away."
His blush darkened before heat flashed in his eyes, realizing she had just confirmed the prospect of there being many more sessions like this. "So I take it I was good enough."
"Mm, far, far better than merely good enough." She hummed, leaning against him again, eyes hooded with pleasure.
He chuckled at the way her eyes heated as they stared up at him. But just as he was about to kiss her again a thought struck him. "Rin, what's going to happen tomorrow?"
"What do you mean?" She blinked and pulled back, noting the change in his voice and the worried look covering his face.
"At school, what's going to happen between us?" After all it wasn't everyday that the school geek got laid by one of the head cheerleaders. Their social classes would make this relationship difficult.
"I wouldn't worry about school, Maru." Rin waved his concerns away, knowing that it was her reputation he was mostly worried about. "When I see you in school tomorrow I'm going to walk right up to you and give you the best 'good-morning' kiss of your life." There was a mischievous sparkle in her eyes at the promise but Sesshomaru ignored it, merely smiling gently at her.
"Somehow that doesn't surprise me." He responded, kissing her jaw quickly. "But you know, just so I don't make you look bad, I think we should practice that plan a bit. What do you say?"
"Oo, I'm all on board for that so long as there's more than just kissing we can practice." She purred as she climbed onto his lap again, her hand finding his hardening member. "There are a few things I've always been curious about."
That petite hand of hers encircled his cock, causing him to moan and buck slightly. Eyes flashing with lust, desire, and love he initiated the first of many kisses that night.
Come the following morning Sesshomaru was unable to drop the pleased grin from his face as he walked into the school building. He and Rin had spent hours learning each other's bodies before she had to return home, much to their displeasure. And upon waking this morning he'd received a very lifting text from her that had put him in an even greater mood. He walked with a lighter step towards the cafeteria where he always spent his time before the first bell rang.
However, he had all of three seconds after entering the large crowd filled room before he heard his name being called. Turning he saw Rin making her way towards him with sly grin on her face. He raised an eyebrow in curiosity as she stopped before him and, before he could utter a single word, she pounced, living up to her promise.
Her hands shot up to grab his face and pull his partially down so that she could place her lips hungrily against his. He didn't move for all of a second before his brain kicked in and he returned her kiss. Her arms snaked around his neck while his found a home around her waist, pulling her flush against him. Their kiss intensified as the students around them began to stare in shock at the scene. The two only pulled back do to the burning in their lungs and desperate need for air.
Sesshomaru couldn't hold back his joyful smile as he stared down at the girl he loved. "Good morning, Rin."
Rin returned his smile with an equally bright one of her own. "Good morning, Sesshomaru."
