Convincing Inuyasha to escape for Valentine's Day weekend was much easier than Kagome had anticipated. Sure, the promise of most of the weekend being spent beneath the sheets was a rather effective selling point, but she also knew he'd agreed to it when they attended the light festival.

They'd planned on just grabbing one of the simple rooms, a place where they could simply sleep (and fuck) when needed. Well, that had been the plan, until they showed up at check-in and were informed that they'd been upgraded to the Presidential Suite. Along with that news came the mystery of how they'd been upgraded, easily solved when the concierge said the words, "On behalf of Mister Takahashi."

As excited as Kagome was to have such a swanky suite, Inuyasha was uneasy at the fact that his father had been the one to get it for them, "I forgot my dad owned shares for this chain..." The last thing he wanted was to have this held over his head as some sort of bargaining chip.

"Try not to think about it too much, babe," she cooed, her arm linked with his as her opposite gently patted his chest, heading to the elevator.

Once inside, Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck, head tilted with a mischievous promise lingering in her gaze, "I'll make sure you don't think about it…" she purred, moving her hands to cup the back of his head and draw him down to have his lips meet hers.

The only two in the elevator, she took liberty in deepening the kiss, lips parting to invite his tongue to enter between them. Accepting it happily, Inuyasha brought one of his hands up to cup the back of her neck to keep her mouth pressed hard against his. With one step forward, he made her take a step backward, her back pressed against the wall. That rumble of a growl in his throat was muffled by her mouth on his causing her to give him a high-pitched moan in response.

"Fuck, you taste so good…" he breathed, only breaking away long enough to speak before diving back in.

That praise had her beaming through their kisses, exhilarated by the fact that they were drinking each other down in a place that could easily have them interrupted, "You can taste me all weekend."

It'd been a long while since they'd been able to spend multiple days together, the two of them finding their schedules to be somewhat opposite, especially since Valentine's Day came with many new launches that she needed to pre-record a review of. To know that they would be able indulge in one another for as long as they wanted, it excited her.

Emboldened, Inuyasha took his free hand to run up and under her shirt, adoring the softness of her skin against his palm as he ran it up her waist. The idea of taking her right then and there crossed his mind, keeping her against the wall with her legs wrapped around his waist as he –

The ding of the elevator had them pull away from one another (as well as Inuyasha from his dream), afraid there could be people waiting on the other side of the door. When there wasn't, both of them released the breath they were holding, relieved that they wouldn't need to face the embarrassment of getting caught in the act.

It wasn't long before they managed to find the door to their room and make themselves at home.

The suite was massive, with a traditional contemporary fusion, with the doors holding a traditional screen while also needing to be slid open, but with westernized tables and seating arrangements. It was large enough to be a full-blown apartment, though also larger than the one that she owned herself.

With a study and a separate dressing room, Kagome had taken her instagram story on a tour of the room, offering commentary about how unreal everything looked. Glimpses of Inuyasha could be seen in the background, unpacking his bag as she walked into the bedroom. With a king-sized bed, a huge flat-screen television and a small sitting area, it was one of the nicest hotel bedrooms she'd ever seen.

Essentially, to say the suite was luxurious was an understatement.

When she finished her little tour, she posted the story before pocketing her phone in her back jean's pocket, "I still can't get over how nice this place is," she remarked with a grunt as she heaved her suitcase up onto the bed. Unzipping it, she flipped it open, having placed a certain bag at the very bottom of it to keep it out of sight for the time being.

"Yeah, it's pretty swanky," There was little enthusiasm in his tone as he put some of his clothes in the drawers offered beneath where the television was mounted, "I guess I can give my ol' man that." It was hardly convincing, Kagome rolling her eyes with a contradictory smile as she abandoned her luggage to walk over to her boyfriend.

Lifting her hands, she cupped his cheeks, needing to push up on her tiptoes as she drew him in for a slow, languid kiss. As startled as Inuyasha was from the suddenness of her actions, he happily sank into it by wrapping his arms around her waist and drawing her in close against him. After letting it linger for a moment, Kagome broke away just enough for their noses to touch, "Thank you for doing this," she murmured, pressing a quick, chaste kiss to his lips while he spoke.

"For doin' what?" He murmured against her lips as he ran his hands up the span of her back and back down to her waist. Toying with the hem of her shirt, he let his fingers nudge beneath it before repeating his previous motion.

The touch of his hands against her bare skin had her release a hum of contentment, "For setting this up for us. Planning this. It's really nice." She knew how much he disliked the thought of Valentine's Day, what with the whole trivial gift giving of flowers and chocolates. Kagome had been explicit when she said she didn't need those and, instead, he figured what would be better than to take a weekend for themselves, away from all other responsibilities. Responsibilities that often hindered them having any sort of free time.

Sure, Kagome still needed to make instagram posts, but that wasn't too far outside of the realm of what any other person would do.

"Hard t'say no when you're poutin' at me," he teased, offering a playful grin as he moved his hands to the clasps of her bra. Snapping them loose with one hand, Kagome gave a soft, sharp inhale through her nose, "When's dinner?" The question left him as he brought both hands towards her chest, pushing her shirt up and over her breasts.

A soft whimper left Kagome when she felt both of his hands palm her breasts, thumbs brushing over her nipples as he placed slow, open mouthed kisses to her neck and jawline, "Uhm –" his touch was making it difficult to think, especially when he took one of her nipples between his index finger and thumb, pinching gently to get a rise out of her. Closing her eyes, she bit down on her lower lip to stifle another rogue moan that tried to escape, "Mmnn!"

"What was that?" Inuyasha couldn't help but coax, dragging a fang down her throat hard enough to leave a soft trail of irritation behind it, "Couldn't hear you, baby," he murmured against her skin before pressing a soothing kiss to the stripe he'd created.

"Six," she finally managed to say, hands running into his hair as his lips stopped at the base of her neck. A soft moan left her then, completely overtaken by the sensation of the wet warmth on her neck and the stimulation of his fingers toying with her nipples, "Thirty…"

With the bunched up fabric of her shirt in the way, he skipped her clavicle and chest, stopping at her breasts. Amber hues flitted up towards her, warm and sultry with the promise of pleasure, "And what time is it now?" He knew damn well what time it was, he just wanted to know if she did.

"Babe –" she whined, feeling the heat of his breath against her breast with how close his lips were to engulfing one of her nipples. When his gaze remained upward, his head unmoving, Kagome released a frustrated whine before giving him an answer, "Three thirty."

Allowing himself to indulge, he moved one of his hands to cup her breast, the position easier for the flat of his tongue to run over the peak of it, "Mmm," he hummed, though it almost sounded as if he were pondering something, "That gives us – what? – three hours to get ready?" He mused while keeping his gaze up and on her face. The flush of her cheeks already started to rise to the surface, the look in her eyes telling him that she didn't want him to stop, even though they probably should.

"Mhm…" she agreed, giving him a nod, "You know how long it takes me to get ready – mnuh!" she yelped as a sad attempt to deter him from going any further, only to be thwarted by the feeling of his lips wrapping around her nipple and giving it a slow suck. There was no stopping the low groan that left him as he did so, excited by the promise of having a full weekend that was just them.

As much as he wanted to completely indulge in her that very moment, he had other ideas. Regardless of how long she took to get ready, that wasn't his reasoning behind pulling away from her and straightening himself. The grin that passed over his features had Kagome intrigued as well as anxious, confusion adding itself when his hands ran down the curve of her waist, stopping at her ass. Giving each cheek one good squeeze, he followed it with a playful spank to pair it with an equally playful statement.

"Better start gettin' ready then."

The look on Kagome's face was priceless as he pulled away completely and began to walk out of the bedroom, her eyes wide and cheeks flushed with the desire to keep going. Shrouded in the scent of her arousal, he knew he needed to get out of the bedroom to the kitchen, if only to make sure he calmed himself down enough to stay in control. A beer would help with that.

He'd planted the seed that set the tone for the rest of the night.

Kagome's body felt scorching, left standing alone in the bedroom with arousal pooling between her thighs and the residual chill of air hitting her kiss-dampened nipple. With her thighs squeezed tight, she drew in a deep, cooling breath before stripping her bra and shirt off completely and tossing it onto the bed.

May as well start off with a shower – she debated on whether or not to make it a cold one.

Undoing her jeans, she wiggled out of them, taking her slightly wet panties with them before stepping out and tossing those on the bed alongside her shirt. Opening the closet, she grabbed one of the swanky (and rather plush) robes that the hotel offered before making her way into the shower.

Hearing the bathroom door close, Inuyasha allowed himself to relax, finding a small pit of anxiousness sitting in his stomach. He'd hoped to use this weekend as a time to explore, as well as introduce Kagome to some of the more intense tastes he had when it came to their time in the bedroom. As open as she was, it was obvious that she'd been somewhat vanilla before they'd gotten together. Already, he'd exposed her to much more than what she was used to and, as far as he knew, she enjoyed it – she was certainly vocal about it in the moment.

Unbeknownst to her, he'd packed away a few extra things to experiment with; more specifically, a black rope and a bullet vibrator. Toys weren't necessary when it came to making Kagome beg for release, but it certainly could add to the overall experience.

Taking a sip of his beer, he kept himself as composed as he could be, the fact that she'd showered made it a bit easier. Hearing the shower shut off, followed by the slightly wet padding of her feet headed in the direction of the bedroom, he climbed to his feet and made his own way to the bathroom, taking his beer with him.

At the sound of Inuyasha taking his turn in the bathroom, Kagome took that opportunity to dig through her suitcase, pulling out a small bag that held a surprise of her own. It was a set of light pink lingerie, topped with crotchless panties and a cupless bra. She'd intended to wear it beneath her dress, a light pink, velvet, high-collared long-sleeved body con, and knew that this was the only opportunity she had to put it on.

With how many pieces there were, it took her a little longer than she'd like to admit to put the whole set on. Walking to the separate walk-in dressing room, she eyed herself in the mirror, feeling a little ridiculous but knowing that it would be well worth it in the long run. With her garter belt sitting right at the smallest part of her waist, attached to thigh-harnesses, Kagome hoped that her dress would cover everything well enough.

Grabbing her dress, she pulled it on, finding that it hid the harness piece of the set rather well, the high collar making it impossible to see it. Pulling down the hem of the dress, it just barely covered the harnesses on her thighs. Smoothing out the fabric, she turned in the mirror to see if any of the pieces would be able to be seen beneath the rather tight-fitting shape.

She'd been so wrapped up in making sure nothing could be seen that she hadn't heard the shower turn off or the door open. All the warning she got was seeing his rather damp figure coming up behind her, wrapped in nothing but a towel. Slinking his arms around her waist, he leaned down to press a kiss to her jawline, "This what you're wearin' tonight?"

Turning in his arms, she gently shoved him, "You're still wet!" She scolded, brows furrowed with disapproval. Though that expression morphed into surprise as Inuyasha's hand lifted to grip her throat and push her against the vanity with a growl. Kagome couldn't help but give off a small squeak of shock, the sound only urging Inuyasha to continue. Placing one hand behind her to lean back on the vanity, the other gripped his wrist to help stabilize herself.

"Yash," she breathed, feeling his fingers run down the front of her with the aim to sit between her legs. Not wanting to ruin the surprise, she closed her thighs tightly as she shook her head, "Wait until after dinner." The attempted deflection had his hand stalling while his gaze narrowed, keeping his hand on her throat possessively, not sure if he wanted to relinquish control just yet.

That familiar scent wafted into his nose, pupils blowing out in response as he leaned his head closer to her own. With a low, obviously possessive growl, Inuyasha crashed his lips against her own, bruising and asserting the dominance he aimed to retain throughout the rest of the night. If they'd already discussed what he'd planned, he'd forgo listening to her and take what he wanted. However, he wasn't about to dive into that without setting the base rules first.

Releasing a moan into his mouth, Kagome happily returned the kiss with the same intensity, adoring the taste of him. That taste was so addicting to her that her lips followed his almost desperately as he pulled away to murmur the words, "Alright, pretty girl. If you insist."

Fuck. He was tormenting her at this point.

Kagome attempted to keep her composure as intact as she could, trying to disregard the fact that every fiber of her being ached to have more of him – ready and willing. That resolve faltered slightly when he gave her a second kiss, though far less domineering than before. Whining into his mouth, she pressed her throat harder into his hand as her eyes rolled to the back of her head at the pressure.

It lasted for but a moment, Inuyasha pulling away much sooner than Kagome would have liked, "You gotta do somethin' for me, though…" he breathed against her lips, giving her another quick, but still wet, kiss before continuing, "When we're alone, you're gunna be callin' me daddy all weekend."

That request was met with a gentle nod in agreement, not able to do much but just that – the hold on her throat mixed with the taste of his lips making it impossible to make coherent sentences.

"Lemme hear it, baby…" he cooed, wrapping his free arm around her back and pulling her flush against him, Kagome able to feel his obviously hard cock press against the inside of her thigh, just missing where her harness started, "Call me daddy."

Bringing in a deep breath, mouth hanging open as she did so, Kagome felt herself begin to crumble beneath the desire to have more of him. There was an aura about him that told her obey, to serve and listen to be rewarded. It was beginning to be hard to think clearly, trying to remind herself of the outfit she had hidden beneath the dress and how it was meant to be a surprise after they'd finished dinner.

Somehow, after digging deep and knowing the reward for patience would be much greater, Kagome managed to find a miniscule speck of defiance, "Wait until after dinner…" she paused for a moment, gaze portraying a bit more grounding within them. There was a hint of mischievousness in the form of a glint that followed as she paired it with the word, "...daddy."

Well, she did what he asked.

As achingly hard as he was, he could hear whatever remnants of conviction remained in her tone, telling him that she meant what she said. He gave his own pause then, golden hues scanning over her face, how her swollen kiss-bitten lips remained parted, keeping themselves prepared for another assaul, and her cheeks flushed with desire and concupiscence. Both he was ready to provide.

But if she wanted to wait, he happily would oblige.

She knew that look, how his lips pulled into a dangerous smirk that told her he had something planned, "As I said…" he purred, loosening his grip around her waist as the other hand moved from her throat to her chin, holding it steady, "If you insist."

With that, he released her, taking a step back before turning around as he adjusted the towel around his waist, "Better hurry up, babe. We only got a couple hours until we gotta be at the restaurant."

"Sure, as if he wasn't the reason I'm far from being ready. "

The snide comment was left in her head for the time being, having a feeling that she'd just barely convinced him to hold off on indulging in her before they went to dinner. At this rate, if she mouthed off, they wouldn't make it to dinner. Period.

Checking herself in the mirror one last time, Kagome made sure not one seam, hair or lash was out of place. Having put her hair up in a half updo, the rest of her hair falling in perfect waves over her shoulders and back, she fluffed it to make it seem more thick than it already was. Then came her make up, scanning with her face and patting a sponge over some areas she felt needed more blending. The typical routine for any woman (or man who wore makeup) to do before she headed out somewhere special.

"Kagome, we're gunna be late if you don't stop fussin'," Inuyasha scolded, leaning on the door frame with his arms folded across his chest. Peering him through the reflection of the mirror in front of her, she stalled the hand that had been in the middle of swiping on some last-minute rouge.

Gawking. That was a better word. She was gawking at him through the reflection of the mirror.

There he stood, wearing a deep red button up shirt with the first two buttons undone and the sleeves rolled up to the ditch of his arms, deliciously revealing his tattoos. The black slacks paired nicely with the same coloured dress shoes, Kagome's gaze jumping from his toes to his head to see his hair up in a messy bun. She'd intended to see his ears on display, but noticed that he'd wrapped them beneath a black bandana.

That gawking expression shifted into one of disappointment and confusion as she straightened and popped the cap back onto the bullet, catching his gaze in the mirror.

A burst of uneasiness sunk into his chest as she stared at him wide-eyed and slightly open-mouthed. Then he watched her gaze scan from his head, down his torso and to his feet before shooting back up. How her expression changed after that had his instincts tell him to put on the defensive. Jaw clenched and eyes staring towards her as if he was prepared to challenge whatever she said next – he was ready for a fight.

"What?"

Even though it sounded beyond annoyed, Kagome didn't flinch, instead tilting her head with that same expression while still keeping her attention on him through the mirror. A beat passed before she slowly turned to face him directly, leaning back against the desk with her head still tilted and her arms bracing her from behind, "I think this is the most formal I've ever seen you look."

"Yeah, well don't get used to it," he snapped, still keeping himself on high alert as her expression didn't change much. Sometimes he still had a hard time reminding himself that she wasn't Kikyo, that she wasn't his past relationship – she was better; the best he'd ever had.

Kagome cocked a brow towards him, mahogany hues flitting up to his ears once agains before falling onto his now somewhat contorted features, "That's a shame. You clean up well," she pushed herself off the desk then, bare feet padding against the carpet as she made her way towards him. As she neared him, she noticed his defensiveness wasn't dissipating, instead remaining firm while his glare (well, Kagome would call it that) followed her, "What?"

Her energy put into that word had matched his when he'd spoken it previously.

"You're makin' a face," he stated rather curtly, "What're you makin' a face for?"

"A face?"

"Yeah, you were starin' like you were tryin'da pick me apart."

The tension in Kagome's shoulders relaxed, disgruntled features morphing into something that bordered exasperated and undoubtedly amused, "I was admiring you, stupid. You look good. Real good." She countered, taking both hands and straightening out his collar as she spoke, though perhaps with a bit more force than necessary to prove her point, "I was confused by the bandana," she added, craning her head back to peer up at him.

"Dress code said no hats," he countered, showing a much more relaxed state after giving her a guilt-ridden look for snapping, "So, I figured this was a good compromise."

Stopping her hands from fussing with his collar, she ran them down the front of his chest, "Babe, I don't th–"

"I'm not takin' it off," he interjected rather abruptly, a look of warning portrayed in the way his pupils shrunk to slits. Kagome knew better than to ask him to do something that pushed him farther outside of his comfort zone than he would have liked. Or, at least, she should have, "And even if I did, we'd be turned away because I wasn't wearin' it."

"You don't know that," Kagome implored with a gentle tone that only held some force behind that one word. As she let one hand fall, the other ran up and over his shoulder soothingly, "When was the last time you were out in public without hiding them? I mean truly."

Inuyasha felt cornered, like she'd managed to back him against a wall with the excuse that he needed to have nothing on his head for the dinner that she'd planned. Every fiber of his being wanted to ask her if that was her intent, to force him to expose himself before he was ready – before he was comfortable.

As much as he wished he could accuse her of such a thing and shift the blame to something tangible, he knew that wasn't the case. Or, if it was, it wasn't meant out of maliciousness.

"I dunno, since before I could remember? What does it matter anyways?"

Though it hadn't been in public, it wasn't too long ago that he'd experienced prejudice for being a hanyou, kicked out of someone's home as a result. It had been rather recent. But then, as he began to think back, it wasn't.

It had happened over five years ago, just before he'd met Kikyo.

Sure, he'd been fetishized by people within his time between his previous one and the one he had with Kagome, but no one had kicked him out.

"Do you think maybe it's gotten better? I mean, look at Shiori –"

"Shiori doesn't have anything that gives her away," he countered sharply, objectively speaking as if it were the end of discussion.

Of course, Kagome wasn't about to let it go that easily, "I had no idea those ears meant you were half-demon. I bet everyone there'll just think you're a run of the mill, boring ol' regular demon." She knew some things about the demon world, about how they operated thanks to her time with Koga, but she still felt like she was trying to steer a boat in uncharted water with a hole blasted through the hull. It was one thing to sit on the outside, but trying to comfort someone on the inside with little experience was something else entirely.

"And – " Kagome peered down at the buttons on his shirt, gently toying with one as she shrugged, revealing her lack of confidence, "– you said that other demons can tell without the ears, so...why does it matter?"

Releasing a sharp sigh through his nose, nostrils flaring as his jaw remained clenched tight, Inuyasha started to take her words into consideration. Adjusting himself against the door frame, he peered down at his feet, suddenly hearing Shiori's words as clear as day in his head.

"It's getting better for people like us."

Gently stomping his foot against the ground in more of a fidgeting motion, he brought up his head enough to lift his chin. Closing his eyes for a moment, he swallowed before sighing out the word, "Fine."

Kagome paused then, eyes still on the button she was toying with as she took a moment to register what he'd just said. To say she was genuinely shocked was an understatement, "Wait…" she closed her eyes and turned her head to the side so her ear was facing him, "What?"

"I said fine."

If she'd turned her head towards him any quicker she was sure she'd give herself whiplash, peering up at him with wide, hopeful eyes and a hesitant smile, "Really?"

The giddiness she held was impossible for him to miss, rolling his eyes as he nodded. When his attention fell back on her, their eyes met and Inuyasha pointed at her with his index finger vertically aimed at her, almost touching her nose in the process, "Let's get one thing straight. I ain't doin' this all the time so don't get any ideas. Do you hear me?"

Eyes crossed when his finger pointed in front of her for a brief moment before they found his own once again. Kagome nodded slowly and bit her lip, doing her best to keep her excitement under control as he spoke.

When he gave her space to speak, she used the opportunity to reply with something that told him she did hear him.

"Yes, daddy."

He wanted to keep going, to lay down more ground rules – more conditions – for him to be out in public with his ears on full display, but that all was reduced to rubble the second that pet name left her. A pet name that he demanded she call him.

Closing his eyes, his brows furrowed as he turned his head to side ever so faintly. Again, his jaw clenched, but it was obvious to Kagome that this sudden reaction was not out of irritation or frustration, but out of the necessity for composure. The second his teeth took his bottom lip between them, that assumption was confirmed.

Keeping his head in the same position, Inuyasha opened his eyes and stared down at her with a new sense of heat that Kagome just couldn't miss, "I hate how good it sounds when you say that."

"I could...stop?" The smirk on her face and the tilt of her head as she spoke demonstrated that she was being nothing but coy. Inuyasha narrowed his gaze towards her, offering his own smirk as he shook his head.

Cupping the back of her head, he held it in place as he pressed his lips against hers only to hear the muffled sounds of protest in response. Kagome pressed her hands against his chest, pushing him away and succeeding, seeing Inuyasha's look of utter confusion and dejectedness when he was far enough away to do so.

"Watch the lipstick!" She exclaimed before placing her hand on his cheek and began to try and wipe off the nude colour from his lips, "Maybe I should switch to a liquid matte…"

"A liquid what?"

"It's a type of lipstick that's harder to come of," she explained while still wiping off the remnants she'd left behind.

"Why didn't you just put that on in the first place?"

"Because, mister know-it-all," Kagome emphasized, finally able to clean him off completely before gripping his chin and moving his head to see if she'd missed any, "I didn't have the shade I wanted in that formula."

"They all look exactly the same – would you stop?" He snapped, lazily swatting her hand away from his face as she continued to maneuver his head any way she liked.

An exaggerated gasp was brought into Kagome's lungs as she moved her hand to her side, "They are not!" She defended rather passionately before pointing to her lips, "This one has a pink undertone, the other one I brought – " she added while pointing behind her towards the vanity, "– has a coral undertone! Coral clashes with the dress!" Both hands gestured to the velvet, pastel pink dress she wore, lifting them up and down as if to make him look at the whole thing.

Perhaps he should have been annoyed with the menial differences she was talking about, but seeing her speak so passionately only endeared him. Crossing both arms over his chest, he let a rather bemused grin pass over his face as she continued on her little tangent. One brow cocked upward as his gaze followed the motion of her hands, looking her up and down before finding her gaze once again.

Once she was clearly finished, he wasted no time in replying, "Well, I plan on kissin' you a lot tonight so you better put on somethin' that won't come off on me."

"Oh, is that so? You mean like this!?" Kagome cupped his jawline with both hands before pressing her lips against his cheek over and over again, knowingly leaving behind multiple kiss marks as she did.

The sudden wholesome assault had Inuyasha's face contort into one of disapproval and playful aggravation, "Hey! Kagome! Get off!" Gripping her wrists, he pulled her hands away from him as he pushed her away at the same time before holding her at a distance.

A fit of playful giggles erupted from her, abruptly cut short when she felt the sting of his hand gripping the hair at the nape of her neck, the other moving to hold her throat as he pulled her close. With his face a breath away, Kagome felt almost all of the air in her lungs give out, eyes wide and her lips parted with both surprise and expectancy, "You're gunna pay for that later, babygirl…" The sound of his voice, coated in a purr-like growl, shot straight between her thighs, causing her to push them together. As hard as she tried to avoid it, watching Inuyasha's gaze flit down to her thighs and back up to her face told her she'd failed, "You like it when I handle you like this...don't you?"

All Kagome could do was nod, a soft whimper leaving her as she did so, "Want me to control you?"

Her career meant she always needed to be on top of too many things to count. She chose her own path and made her own decisions, most of them fairly large by most people's standards. Every decision she made could be life-altering or mean a dip in her opportunities; she was meticulous and deliberate in every choice she made. In essence, within almost every aspect of her life, Kagome was in control.

Every aspect except with Inuyasha.

Giving him another nod, she even added the word 'please' so sweet and desperate that Inuyasha even graced her with a brief kiss on her lips, "Take care of you?" He breathed, brushing his nose against hers as she nodded her head yet again, biting on her lower lip as she placed her hands on his chest, gripping the fabric of his shirt, "Then we're gunna set some rules when we get back."

"Rules?"

Inuyasha nodded, loosening his grip on her hair to gently cup the back of her neck instead, "We need 'em if you're gunna let me take care'a you."

"You mean...kinky rules? Like...with safewords?"

Surprisingly, Kagome knew what he meant, any modern millennial did; it had been a little more exposed to her after her TikTok algorithm started showing her 'kinktok' on her For You Page. It was scary how phones just...knew.

She liked having her hair pulled, her ass spanked and her body used in whatever way he saw fit (in the areas she consented to). She loved the way he spoke to her with such crude wording before calling her some sort of adorable pet name that contradicted everything he'd just said. Never did she think that the words 'good girl' would affect her the way it did when he said them. Regardless, it made her want to learn more, explore more, experience more and all of it with him and no one else.

Inuyasha was genuinely surprised by her questions, letting his hand leave her throat to cup her neck, mindful of the makeup she'd spent the last hour and a half putting on her face, "Uh –" A dumbfounded grin passed over his features, "Yeah. Exactly like that."

"I...think I'd like that."

"You're gunna need to know you'll like it, babe."

She knew what he meant by that, from what she'd seen, trust was imperative when it came to the dynamic they were hinting at exploring. Before she could give him any sort of response, she heard his phone go off.

"That's probably the Uber," he murmured, letting go of her to pull his phone from his pocket and confirm that he was right, "They'll be here in a minute," he added before looking down to her feet, "Better get your shoes on."

Quickly, Kagome did as he asked, pulling on a pair of six-inch nude red-bottoms – a gift from Jak a few years prior; he'd called them 'fuck me pumps' and Kagome figured now was as good a time as ever to test that theory. Now she was able to give her boyfriend a kiss without straining herself to do so, even though it was still a big gap to fill.

Fluffing her hair, she straightened her dress before turning her head over her shoulder some, "Inuyasha!" She called, turning her attention back to the vanity while grabbing her phone and opening up her camera.

"Babe, we gotta go. The Uber's outside."

"We need a picture!" Kagome urged, lifting her hand to gesture him closer, "I wanna document this moment."

Rolling his eyes, he released a groan, lumbering forward, "Baby...we're gunna be late," he pleaded, only to have Kagome shoot him a glare.

"We look hot. I need a picture for Insta," she explained, having Inuyasha freeze in place, "I'll make it so your ears are cropped in the photo," she assured, taking his arm and draping it over her shoulder.

Turning the camera to the mirror, Inuyasha knew the drill, looking at the phone screen as Kagome set the angle right. The way she had it gave them a full-body shot, having moved to the side where there was a floor to ceiling mirror.

A couple shots were taken before Inuyasha pressed a kiss to her temple, "C'mon babe, we gotta catch that Uber." Right as he gave her that kiss, she took a shot and managed to catch it at the perfect time.

"Alright. I just got the winner anyways," she stated before grabbing her purse, placing her phone inside before looking over her shoulder and seeing Inuyasha had already made his way to the front door, "Wait!"

As fast as she could in her heels, she jogged towards the front door, seeing Inuyasha already putting on his peacoat. Grabbing her own from the foyer closet, she slid it on before pulling her hair from it and doing it up in a fairly flustered fashion.

Releasing one more sharp breath, she looked up at her rather unimpressed and impatient boyfriend, "Okay. Let's go."

"If the Uber leaves and we lose our seat, I'm blamin' you."

Rolling her eyes, she snagged his hand and began dragging him out the door, "Yeah, yeah, yeah," she drawled rather sarcastically before following it up with, "You can punish me later."

---

When they made it into the Uber, Kagome wasted no time quickly posting the last picture they'd taken before they left. There they were in the mirror, Kagome's outfit on full display with Inuyasha's just as much so. His arm draped over her shoulder with her pressed flush against his side as he placed a kiss to the side of her head. Behind the phone, it was easy to make out that there was a very real, very large, smile on Kagome's face at the sign of affection.

Making sure she cropped it enough so they couldn't see his ears, she touched the photo up a bit before uploading it. The caption read 'my favourite accessory. who said you couldn't mix silver and gold?', not bothering to put in any tags as she hit the blue check mark in the top right-hand corner of the screen. Almost an instant after she realized it was successfully posted, she put her phone away and turned her attention towards the accessory she'd mentioned in said caption.

It was obvious in the way he said, how he wrung his wrists and turned his attention out the window that he was anxious. The Uber driver hadn't even glanced towards him as he crawled into the car, simply asking where they were headed and, after getting the address, began driving in the direction of the restaurant. Sensing his anxiousness, Kagome grabbed one of his hands and brought it to her thigh, resting it there as both her own encompassed it. The touch of her hands brought him out of his anxiety-driven trance, turning his attention towards her before letting it fall to their hands and giving a small squeeze.

"You okay?"

The gentleness of her tone as she asked him that rather large, open-ended question had his heart find some ease, his stomach unclenching ever so slightly.

"I feel naked…" he murmured, his free hand loosely held to his mouth, elbow resting on the sill of the door window. An empathetic look crossed Kagome's face, taking one of her hands to run up under his sleeve as far as she could before soothingly bringing it back to his wrist.

"If it gets to be too much, we can go back," she cooed, making sure her demeanour held nothing but love and understanding. What he was doing, it was a huge step for him and Kagome acknowledged that to the highest degree. To try and drive her support home, she leaned closer to him, pressing a kiss to his cheek as she felt him release her hand to grip her thigh.

Turning his head towards her, he was about to lean forward and press a kiss to her lips when he stalled, "You put on the uh –" he loosely gestured towards her lips with his free hand, "Liquid cement or whatever?"

"Liquid cement?" Kagome couldn't help but release a very real laugh, "You mean liquid matte?"

"Yeah, that. The stuff that doesn't come off."

The laughter died down, her tone higher than normal out of complete amusement and disbelief, "I did. Where did you get cement out of that?"

"Shut up," he muttered, closing the gap between them and pressing a small, languid kiss to her lips. With a soft, happy hum, Kagome returned it, even putting a smile behind it before they broke away.

Kagome looked down to his lips before letting their games find one another again, "You're in the clear," she teased, referring to the fact that no lipstick had transferred.

"Huh. So that stuff really works?" How many stupid kiss-marks left over from the night before could have been avoided if his past hook-ups just used that.

Giving him one solid nod, she pressed one more quick kiss to the side of his mouth before sitting back in her seat. Grabbing her purse, she pulled out her phone and opened instagram, checking in on the post's engagement.

The comment that popped up first had her uneasy. With the username 'killerking239', his message was similar to the first cryptic one she'd received not too long ago and ended up needing to block. The message read as followed, "oh no this won't do. ur supposed to be waiting for me, my love. we're meant to be".

When she extended her comment section, she realized that comment in particular was repeated more than a dozen times.

Worrying her lower lip, she opened the person's profile to see there were no posts, no one following and only one person being followed – her. Feeling her aura change, Inuyasha's eyes flitted towards her phone screen then up to her face, "Everything okay?"

"Uh – yeah. Yeah. I just – " she hit the block button before closing her phone and putting it back in her purse, "Got one of those weird inappropriate comments. It's harmless, really."

He tried his best to back off when it came to her relationship with her followers, having seen the absolutely defensive stance she took when he so much as questioned their intentions, "You block 'em?"

"Yes, Inuyasha. I blocked them," she sighed with annoyance as she turned her head towards him, "Happy?"

That defensiveness seemed to be easier to trigger than Inuyasha had initially thought. "Just...lookin' out for you, that's all," he murmured, taking his hand from her thigh to rest it on his knee, head turning away from her to look out the window instead. That attitude was the last thing he needed, setting off his anxiety to a spiking point.

Alongside the way he pulled away from her, his ears flattened against his head, reminding Kagome that how she reacted was hardly fair.

Guilt instantly set into Kagome's chest, playing with her fingers as she closed her eyes to reset her state of mind, "I'm sorry…" she murmured lowly, opening her eyes as she turned to face him. Reaching out her hand, she took his and laced their fingers together. Bringing both hands to her mouth, she turned them enough so she could place a kiss on the back of his, "I know you're looking out for me."

Slowly, he turned back to face her, gaze falling to their hands before he brought them, still laced, to his own thigh, "Just wanna make sure you're safe." Lazily, he bounced their hands against him a couple times as if to emphasize his point.

"I know. I'm sorry," she repeated, pressing a kiss to his cheek before moving to his lips.

"S'okay," he murmured.

As they broke away, the Uber came to a stop before the driver announced that they'd arrived at their destination. Kagome easily paid through the app, adding a hefty tip before opening her door and stepping out. It took her a moment to realize that Inuyasha had hesitated, his hand resting on the handle while staring down at it as if it were leading him to certain death. Well, maybe that was a little dramatic, but he certainly looked frightened.

"Babe?" Kagome prodded ever so delicately, seeing his ear twitch to tell her he was listening. A beat later, Inuyasha pulled the handle and stepped out of the car, immediately flattening his ears against his head in hopes of hiding them.

As Inuyasha made his way to the sidewalk, rounding the back of the car, Kagome held out her arm, hand positioned in a pre-emptive invite for him to take it. Lacing their fingers together, she wrapped her arm around his bicep, stopping them from taking any more steps as she peered up at him with an apologetic gaze, "How're you feeling?"

Closing his eyes, he released a breath through his nose, ears still straining to sit back against his head, "Uh," Kagome could see the familiar gold that revealed itself as he opened his eyes, "Anxious."

"I'm right here," she tried to assure, running her arm up and down his bicep before gently coaxing him towards the hostess that stood just outside the front door.

With a formal, professional greeting, the hostess offered the couple a seemingly genuine smile, "We have a reservation for two at six thirty for Higurashi," Kagome answered in turn, watching as the woman ran her finger down the unseen list that was behind the lip of the podium.

"Ah, yes! Here you are," the hostess chirped before grabbing two menus and cradling them against her chest, "Follow me, please."

Keeping their hands together, Kagome kindly coaxed Inuyasha into the restaurant alongside her, turning her attention upward towards him as they walked. What she saw were his eyes seemingly shifting, his ears trying so hard not to twitch to look out for certain sounds. He was scanning his surroundings; he was looking for potential threats and she couldn't help but feel a small twinge of guilt gnaw in the pit of her stomach. Yes, it was good for him to push outside of comfort zone, but if it meant it'd ruin their dinner, perhaps they should have practiced that at a different time.

The hostess led them up a flight of stairs to the second floor where there were dozens upon dozens of tables, but also an unbelievable view of the cityscape. Both of them understood why the place was so expensive, that view would be hard pressed to be found anywhere else.

"We have you down for a window seat. Does that work for you?"

As if that was even a question.

"That works perfectly," Kagome replied as the three of them arrived at their destination.

As the hostess placed their menus down, she rattled off the daily specials, addressing both Inuyasha and Kagome as they peeled off their jackets and hung them up on the rack that was placed behind Inuyasha's chair. When they took their seats, the hostess continued, "Yui is your server tonight and will be right with you to take your drink order."

"Thank you." The smile on Kagome's face portrayed her genuine friendliness, more than understanding of treating servers with respect. Inuyasha gave the hostess an acknowledgingly thankful nod, a shy smile pulling at his lips.

As the hostess walked away, Kagome turned her attention back to the rather stiff man across from her. Instinctively, she reached a hand out across the table with her palm facing upward, "Hey," she cooed, tone gentle and soothing as she watched Inuyasha take her invitation by placing his hand over hers, "You're okay."

Giving her a rather pathetic nod, Inuyasha felt her give his hand a gentle squeeze of encouragement, "Maybe we shoulda done this on my human night…" he murmured, immediately receiving a glare from the woman sitting across from him.

"No. We shouldn't have," with a tense jaw and gritted teeth did those words leave her, genuinely infuriated that he would even suggest such a thing. Giving a heavy sigh, she sat back some before scanning the room, seeing only a few people sitting at different tables, "No one it looking at us," she assured, taking note of the way Inuyasha's saw set tensley on his face, looking at her with a look that confirmed he was unconvinced, "Babe, you can't live your whole life with a hat on –"

"It's worked fine for me so far," he interjected rather curtly, letting go of her hand to open his menu as a point of distraction.

A defeated sigh left Kagome then, her shoulders slumped as she followed suit, opening up her menu and looking it over, "Yeah well...I guess we're just gunna be sitting here in your discomfort for the rest of the night, then." Lifting her attention back to him, she closed her menu and held it to her chest by nudging the bottom of it into the ditches of her elbows as she leaned forward, "Unless you just wanna go home. We can do that, y'know."

She was right. He needed to at least try.

It was his turn to give off a somewhat defeated sigh, "No…" he lifted his hand to his forehead, scratching it aimlessly as he shook his head, "No. You're right."

"I know this is a lot for you," Kagome cooed as she offered a smile that brought Inuyasha some reprieve. Reaching her hand back out across the table, she made a 'gimme' motion that was easily replied to with his hand holding hers, "I'm proud of you for doing this. Did I tell you that?"

It was rare that she got to see him blush, savouring the moment he did as an involuntary response to her words, "Y'don't gotta. I know."

---

After placing and receiving their orders, they continued to eat while also carrying on a conversation. Inuyasha, miraculously, became less and less tense as the night went on. Perhaps it was due to the succulent ribeye steak he'd ordered, cooked to a perfect medium rare and spiced with excellence. It'd been too long since he'd had a hearty meal, or one that was cooked by the hands of top-tier professionals. He knew he wouldn't need to convince Kagome to come back, so he simply tucked it away in the back of his mind to make a plan of it for the future.

Holding her wine glass in one hand and resting her chin on the back of the other, her elbows rested on the table while she looked outside over the cityscape. Slowly and lazily, she circled the glass in her hand, seemingly in a trance as she did but was soon debunked when she spoke, "You forget how pretty it is."

Turning his own attention out the window, Inuyasha understood what she'd meant. He could remember when skyscrapers were unheard of, everyone living in their own homes and no houses reaching over three or four floors. Even then, those were left for the highest bracket of wealth. Now, it seemed even the middle class could own some form of luxury, an odd concept for a man who'd lived within too many generations to count.

Releasing a wistful sigh, he agreed, "Yeah…"

"I'm so full…" Kagome groaned soon after, quickly changing the aura of their conversation while she ran a hand over her belly soothingly. The lingerie beneath her dress thankfully had a little bit of give to it, allowing her some breathing room even though she'd eaten her weight in chicken and prawns.

That didn't mean the damn thing wasn't uncomfortable as hell.

"Remind me to only do this on special occasions."

"What's it like?" Inuyasha jested, offering a playful grin as Kagome gave a soft laugh of amusement, knowing he was only half-lying. Never had she seen a man with a bigger appetite (in more ways than one) than Inuyasha.

The grin faded, however, as his ears twitched and one swiveled behind himself to a few tables behind them. A darkened, almost disappointed look fell over his face and Kagome didn't need him to say anything to know what was going on.

"What are those things?"

"I don't know, but they're rather ghastly, aren't they?"

"Oh my goodness, they move!"

It was a trio of elderly, high-class women huddled around their wine and cheese, leaning into one another so they could keep themselves discreet. They were clearly from an older generation from what Kagome could make out when she peered behind his shoulder – a product of their time. Unfortunately, that product was ignorance.

"Babe, hey. Ignore them…" she cooed, trying to catch his attention. Inuyasha closed his eyes, jaw set tensely as his ear swiveled back towards Kagome for a brief moment before moving back to the table behind them. His brow twitched with discomfort and humiliation, prepared to get up and leave should they say anything too outrageous. All the while, Kagome kept trying to get his attention while shooting chilling glares towards the women whenever she could. If she knew it wouldn't make the situation worse for him, she would have stomped over there and ripped those ol' bitties a new one. But what she needed to focus on was Inuyasha and what he needed from her specifically.

"We should go…" he finally murmured, though it sounded more aggressive than upset, resulting in Kagome giving him an apologetic, heartbroken look.

"No...no we shouldn't. You have every right to eat in peace," Kagome assured in an attempt to soothe his broken pride. That feat was a difficult one, as Inuyasha continued to hear them whisper about having a hard time eating and how they were shocked that they 'let dogs into the establishment'.

Nothing had changed. It was all the same. Why had he doubted that harsh reality? Why did he let Kagome let him think otherwise? A part of him wanted to blame her, to tell her 'I told you so' and call off the rest of the weekend, but he knew she just wanted him to see the betterment in people.

Kagome could see their waitress was also serving that very table, asking how their food was before being gestured to lean down so one of the women could whisper something in her ear. Yui straightened, expression stone-cold and unreadable as she peered down at the woman who'd just spoken to her.

"They asked her to tell us to leave…" Inuyasha murmured, causing Kagome's heart to absolutely shatter. How had this backfired so badly? The largest lump became lodged in her throat, continuously trying to swallow it down to avoid falling into a complete fit of sobs. How was the world so cruel? Inuyasha hadn't done anything but try to enjoy his dinner just like everyone else in that restaurant. He didn't deserve any of this.

As Yui made her way to their table, Kagome was prepared for a fight, public decency be damned. It seemed Inuyasha was simply prepared to comply and, if he wasn't able to defend himself, she would do it for him.

"Hello you two," Yui greeted with a rather forced smile, "The ladies at table fifteen have told me to ask you to leave; however–" the word was emphasized as she noticed Kagome begin to open her mouth, "I'm more than aware that there is no need to ask you to leave. You're a guest at our establishment as is anyone else. Discrimination isn't tolerated. Have they been causing a disturbance for you?"

"Yes," Kagome stated curtly and firmly, glancing at Inuyasha with a threat to keep his mouth shut, knowing full well that he wasn't about to make a scene, "They have been."

"Would you like me to ask them to leave?"

Kagome waited a beat, fully turning her attention towards her boyfriend, who was sitting there almost completely frozen with a rather dumbfounded look on his face, "Yes…" she replied as she turned her attention back to Yui, "We would."

"Alright. I'll make sure they're escorted out," Yui began to turn to do as she'd mentioned, only to stall and turn her attention back towards the young couple, "Oh, and your meal is now on us. We apologize for the experience," she added, offering Inuyasha a rather genuine smile before turning and heading towards the back, prepared to grab the manager.

Clear as day. It was clear as day. The look of absolute confusion, shock and disbelief that crossed over Inuyasha's face as he simply sat there and tried to register what had happened, "They...didn't kick us out…" he mused to himself, "Didn't kick me out."

That lump in Kagome's throat had changed from one filled with fear to one of relief, managing to swallow it down completely while tilting her head in understanding, "No. They didn't. Because it's not your fault that people are stuck in their own prejudices, it's theirs." Inuyasha's gaze flitted towards hers, finding nothing but understanding, love and compassion; perhaps there was a small layer of fury, but he knew full well that it wasn't directed at him.

"I thought for sure we'd –"

"We weren't because they know it's ridiculous," Kagome emphasized with the desperate need to convince.

Over his shoulder, she watched as the manager and two other servers walked towards the ladies' table. At first, one of them pointed to their table with a disgustingly fake smile, as if they were confirming that it was Inuyasha that was being kicked out. Then it turned into confusion as the manager stated that they were no longer welcome in their establishment and asked them to leave. The scene the women made could have been plenty worse, Kagome and Inuyasha able to hear the words 'well I never' as they gathered their things and were escorted out.

A smug smirk passed over Kagome's lips as she brought her wine glass up to them to take a sip, Inuyasha cocking an eyebrow towards her at the rather out of character expression. Catching a glimpse of his brow, she furrowed her own and gave him a rather incredulous look, "What? They deserved it."

Shaking his head, he rolled his eyes while scoffing out of disbelief. Crossing his arms over his chest, he leaned back against his chair and kept his attention on the woman across from him – the woman that made him a better version of himself. Her risk had paid off, proving that the world had changed, at least a little bit.

There were more people like her in it. It was almost unbelievable.

---

Walking into the suite, both of them peeled off their jackets. Inuyasha followed suit with his shoes but Kagome opted to leave hers on, walking into the kitchen to grab her white wine she'd left in the fridge to cool.

"One more."

His voice startled her, snapping her head towards him while in the middle of pulling cork out. The squeak then pop happened much quieter than normal, as she was usually one to simply wrench it out in one foul swoop. Yet, with her slowed actions, she was left with a much less satisfying sound.

"One more...bottle?" Kagome teased, offering a playful smirk as she watched her boyfriend slowly swagger his way over to her, hands in his pockets and his head tilted in challenge.

"No. Glass. I got plans for you, babygirl. I need you coherent," he added, reaching out a hand to gently cup her chin. Leaning his head down, he indulged in the taste of her, lips moving against hers. The moan that escaped her, it had Inuyasha push her against the counter, causing Kagome to place the bottle down on the counter at their side, freeing her hands so she could cup his neck.

The heat between them escalated much more quickly than either of them anticipated, but with what that had happened at the restaurant, Inuyasha wanted nothing but to give her everything she wanted. He wanted to make her feel everything he couldn't say and instead speak the language he knew.

With one hand on her neck and the other on her waist, he let himself indulge in her just a little, riling her up enough for that delicious aroma to engulf his senses and drive him forward with what he'd planned for the night. Taking more willpower than he'd like to admit, he managed to break from her lips, his hand remaining on her neck as they both brought in gasping breaths to try and even them out, "You gunna have that glass or can we head to the bedroom?"

Kagome shook her head in response, hands running down the front of his chest while her nails faintly dug into his skin, "I'm thirsty for something else," she purred with a toothy grin so contagious that Inuyasha couldn't help but give his own.

Breaking from her completely, he took one of her hands in his, their fingers laced loosely as he began leading her back to the bedroom. Kagome happily followed him with a heart fluttering with anticipation, more than prepared to have a more serious conversation with him regarding their sexual dynamic. The thought of it all had her biting her lower lip with a dazed imagination until she found herself standing between his legs as he sat down on the end of the bed.

Peering up at her, though not needing to do so that much, he ran his hands up over her waist to her shoulder blades and back down to her ass, "You look so fuckin' good in this dress, baby. Shows you off," he praised genuinely, amber eyes never leaving her face as he did so, letting his hands do the seeing for him.

Resting her hands on his shoulders, Kagome's cheeks flushed as her lips pulled into a gentle smile, "Thank you."

Damn. How did he still make her feel a school girl pining after her crush? It wasn't fair.

"I needa ask you some things," he began, swallowing slightly in a way that gave away his uncertainty when it came to bringing the topic forward, "I guess, before that, I needa tell you what I...I'm into," he added, soothed by the addicting touch of her fingers against his jawline.

A part of her wanted to tell him that he didn't need to tell her, she could tell right away that he was a dominant person – he liked control when it came to what happened in the bedroom and Kagome was more than alright with that. However, it was important that she let him speak, let him voice his needs.

"I really like makin' you feel good. Like knowin' that I'm the one who makes you cum as hard as you do,'' he purred, pressing a slow, wet kiss to her lips, one that caused a small smack as they pulled away, "I like it when you let me do what I want to you, that you trust me," he paused them, letting his eyes lock onto hers with a bit more seriousness behind the tender heat that built up as he spoke, "You trust me, right?"

"More than anyone," Kagome didn't hesitate in her answer, nodding to emphasize her point, "I trust you."

"Good. 'Cause I trust you, too. I trust that you'll tell me when you don't like somethin'. That's the most important thing when…" he swallowed in vaguely nervous fashion, "When I dominate you. I wanna be your dom, Kagome."

"My daddy?" Kagome repeated, seeing that fangy grin pass over his face as he nodded, "And you want me as your sub?"

"My babygirl, yeah."

"You've been calling me that since the beginning," she reminded, running her hands down his biceps and back up to his shoulders.

"You've been callin' me daddy since the beginnin', too," he teased, causing a confused look to pass over Kagome's face. That grin never left his lips as he cocked a brow out of both amusement and expectancy.

That confusion turned into a sense of irritation, "No I haven't."

"Whaddya have me as in your phone, Kagome?"

Kagome froze then, face flushed before she furrowed her brows in defensiveness, "That is not the same!" She exclaimed, folding her arms over her chest with a huff, causing Inuyasha to give a low, warm chuckle of amusement in response.

"Sure, if you say so," he replied, gripping her arms to unfold them and place her hands back on his shoulders. His demeanour changed then, settling into a more grounded, serious one as he ran his hands up her arms to her biceps, gently gripping them, "Anyway, I wanna explore that with you, but I gotta know that's somethin' you want, too."

"Well, I don't know what exactly a relationship like that means. Is it just when we're having sex or is it...all of the time?"

"Just sex...well...and when we're alone," he stated confidently, "We've kinda fallen into the dynamic already. Y'know, like when I pull your hair or put my hand on your throat when you backtalk me."

"I like when you do those things," Kagome explained honestly, running her hands up to his neck as their eyes remained fixated on one another, "I like when you tell me what to do...how you show me new things. I also like, uhm –" she licked her lower lip out of cautious thought before continuing, "I like it when we're in public and you whisper things...dirty things into my ear."

Though they were talking about something inherently extremely sexual, Inuyasha felt a very real tender ache in his heart. She trusted him enough to speak openly about what she wanted, to be honest with him and delve into what her real desires were, "Yeah? What else d'you like?"

It was then that Kagome's gaze averted from his out of bashfulness, "I like it when you're rough with me, when you choke me and spank me." Inuyasha moved his head to try and catch her gaze, Kagome's flitting towards him before averting from him again, "Y-your dirty talk, when you call me things."

"Is there anything you don't like bein' called? That you don't want me to do?"

"Not off the top of my head but...I'll tell you if I think of any. And...uhm...no bodily fluids, other than, y'know, the obvious," she paused for a moment to think, before almost frantically continuing, as if she were afraid he'd interrupt, "And no hitting me anywhere but my ass."

Inuyasha nodded in confirmation and understanding, mentally noting those conditions down in the back of his mind, "Okay. What about being blindfolded or gagged?"

Kagome shook her head as a double negative, "I'm okay with those. Though, not at the same time. Just one or the other." The thought of having two senses hindered or taken away from her left her a little uneasy.

"Tied up?"

"I think I'd really like that," Kagome stated a little more confidently, her attention finally holding enough courage to meet his gaze once more, "Oh, I also like when you...use my mouth…" she lifted a hand to point her index finger towards her mouth, moving it in circular motions as if to make it explicitly clear to him what she meant.

A low growl rumbled deep in her partner's chest, his hands running down to her ass and giving it a squeeze to indulge for that brief moment before trailing then back up to her waist, "I like that, too. I like all those things you said."

"Yeah? Uh...anything other than that?"

"I'd really like to fuck your ass, eventually," he stated with a smaller grin than previously, "Or at least play with it a bit."

Kagome tensed then, dropping her gaze from his face, "I–I've never...and I don't know if–" his lips silenced her, pressing against her own and letting it linger for a few moments. Sinking into it, she felt comfort from him that she knew words couldn't compare to. As they pulled away, she lifted her hands to his cheeks, brushing her thumb over the apples of them, "I think I'd like to try it but...not tonight?"

There was no disappointment on his face, not a trace of it lingering in his gaze as he nodded in understanding, "M'kay. You tell me when," he cooed, lifting his hand to tuck a stray hair behind her ear, "And I don't want you to worry about disappointin' me, alright? I wanna make somethin' real clear." The tone of his voice was affectionate but Kagome couldn't miss the authority behind it, "Whatever fantasies I have, you do not tell me you're okay with 'em if you aren't for the sake of makin' me happy. Do you understand?"

All Kagome could do was nod, eyes warm and soft with complete adoration for the man she stood in front of, his presence enough to have her forgetting the ache in her feet from still wearing heels.

"Say, 'yes, daddy. I understand'," he stated with that same sense of authority, causing a surge to shoot right between her thighs.

Oh yes. She liked it when he spoke to her like that.

"Yes, daddy. I understand," she replied obediently, not missing a beat.

"That's my good girl."

Oh. Fuck.

The involuntary whimper that left her at that statement had her blushing, pressing her thighs close together with the knowledge that it would do little to deter him, "Ah. Ah. Ah." He teased, biting down on his lower lip, "We got more to discuss," he added, trying to avoid them diving in head first without establishing all of the necessary pieces of discussion, "I got some rules and you need a safeword."

"Oh," she began, bringing one of her shoulders to her ear out of bashfulness, "I have one in mind." That had Inuyasha's brows shoot upward in pleasant surprise.

"Really?"

Kagome gave a nod of confirmation. She'd been pondering one what it could be since he'd brought it up before dinner, "Yeah. I was thinking maybe using 'arrow'. Does that work?"

"That works great, baby," he encouraged with a nod of his own, "I need a non-verbal one, too."

"Non...verbal?"

"Yeah, like clapping your hands twice, or snappin' your fingers a certain way that tells me to stop. Sometimes you won't be able to talk, if y'know what I mean," he smirked, referring back to the fact that she's explicitly stated how she liked that he used her mouth.

"Oh."

She would have never thought of that.

"I guess...snapping my fingers three times?"

"You gotta be sure, babe. I'm serious. There's no half-ass with that sorta thing," he urged, trying to convey that what they'd planned to dive into needed firm lines that couldn't be crossed. Kagome nodded in understanding, wide eyed and slightly taken aback by the seriousness in his tone.

"Yes, daddy. I understand," she repeated, catching on quickly that was the best way for him to accept her acknowledgement, "Verbal is 'arrow' and non-verbal is snapping my fingers three times."

Running his hands up her back in a soothing manner, he praised her through touch as well as words, "Good girl."

Loosely, Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck, feeling Inuyasha's arms wrap around her a little more tightly, though still keeping his palms flush against her as they ran over her back, "I think I like that the most," she murmured, leaning close enough for their noses to be touching, "When you tell me how I'm a good girl, when you praise me." A blush rose to her cheeks again, shoulders lifting to her ears out of bashfulness while her teeth took her bottom lip between them.

"I'll give you all the praise you want," with a grin, he gave the side of her mouth a gentle kiss before leaning close to her ear, "If you've earned it." A shiver ran up Kagome's spine at that, drawing in a sharp breath through her nose before exhaling with a whimper.

Leaning back to catch her gaze, Inuyasha let his hands find home on her hips, not wanting to deprive her of his touch nor himself of the feel of her beneath his palms, "Is this somethin' you really wanna do?" He asked genuinely, knowing that what they were about to enter was something that they'd touched on, but what they were discussing was a little more intense than what they'd previously experienced.

Kagome gave him a nod, "Yeah. I do. I wanna try it, at least. Can I change my mind, if I don't?" It was a more than fair question, one that Inuyasha was pleased she'd asked. It showed that she didn't feel pressured into doing what he wanted just because he'd asked her and trusted him enough to voice her uncertainties.

"'Course. We won't dive in too much right now. Don't wanna overwhelm you," he explained. He was beyond aware of the fact that it was a lot to take in, especially since it was so new to her. It was obvious Kagome wasn't inexperienced by any means, but it was also obvious that she hadn't gone outside of the typical (what he would call) vanilla dynamics before they'd met.

Giving him a smile, Kagome cupped his cheeks as she leaned her head forward to give him a slow, languid kiss of appreciation. It lasted for a few moments before Inuyasha broke away, "Rules," he murmured against her lips, giving her one more small peck before pulling back enough to have their eyes meet, "I gotta couple, but we can add to 'em, if you like what happens tonight."

"Alright," she replied confidently, "Lay 'em on me."

"Rule one, you ask me if you can cum, unless I give you permission beforehand. This goes for when we're not together, too. Whether that via text or a phone call, you ask."

"You mean, like when I wanna...touch myself?" Kagome asked with the aim to make sure she understood completely what he was asking of her.

"Yup. Then, number two, you thank me whenever I do let you cum. Again, whether we're together or apart," he stated, feeling Kagome's touch run down to his neck, one hand gently scratching at the nape of it. Though she was giving him such tender touches, her eyes told him that she was listening intently, retaining what he said and packing it away at the back of her mind. Inuyasha's hands ran up over the span of her back as he continued, "Rule three, you call me daddy whenever we're alone and, rule four, you wear nothing but one of my shirts whenever we're alone in the house together. If you're cold, you ask me if you can wear pants. Lastly, rule number five, you will listen and obey everything I say when we're in the bedroom."

A question crossed Kagome's mind, waiting for him to finish before she opened her mouth to speak, "What if...I don't want these rules in place? Like, if I don't want that dynamic a certain day or for a little while?"

"You use your safeword and then tell me exactly what you want to stop."

"So the safeword isn't just for when we have sex?"

"Nope. If we wanna take this outside of the bedroom, it can be used there too."

Again, Kagome nodded her head in understanding, "Okay. I just wanna make sure I can turn it off, if I need to."

God. She was already doing so well. She asked all of the right questions and showed all signs of understanding what he was telling her. Now only did it turn him on to no end, it also had his heart swelling at the prospect of her trusting him enough when it came to something like this. Though trust in the sexual department had never been the issue in the first place, he still knew what it took to be vulnerable with someone.

"You can turn it off whenever you need to. That's what it's there for. I mean," he gripped her hips and tugged her a little closer as if to capture every last morsel of her attention, "I know you pretty well. I can read you well enough but, there might be times where I end up doin' somethin' that crosses a line without knowin' it. If that happens, you use that word, okay? I'll never be angry at you for usin' it."

It was preemptive, but with Kagome new to the dynamic, there was a high chance that she thought she liked something that could end being something she really hated. He had some experience as a dom, having played around with it and even giving it a go with Kikyo before she put a stop to it half way through their relationship, but he was also aware that some aspects were new to him, as well. He didn't know everything.

"Yes, daddy. I understand," she repeated with a rather authentic smile, having Inuyasha return it with a warmth that radiated outward.

"That's my girl," he stated before rounding his hand to her ass and giving one of her cheeks a soft pat. He could smell just how riled up she was, the pooling between her thighs completely saturated the entire room.

She was becoming impatient, wanting to reveal her own surprise and have this discussion be not just a discussion and actually be put into practice. Her hands ran down the front of his chest, gripping the fabric as she worried her lower lip, "Can we start, now?"

"Not yet. We got a couple more things to talk about," he purred, "We gotta talk about punishments and aftercare," the whine Kagome gave off had a warm chuckle leave him, "I know, babygirl. I wanna get down to business, too. But we gotta finish this up." He refrained from pushing his hips in a way that would prove his point, knowing it would only fuel her impatience and drive them to rush through the most imperative parts.

Portraying a look that told him she was compliant, Kagome released a heavy sigh to pair alongside it, "You want a punishment now? Cut the attitude," he warned, tone holding a little more bite that both startled and riled Kagome.

With her fire quelled, Inuyasha continued, "I kinda make up punishments in the moment but, I'll give an example. If you cum without askin' me, I'll make sure you don't cum for however long I wanna. Or, if we make a rule that you end up breakin' by not listenin' to me, you can't touch my ears. Whether that be a day or a week, it's up to me."

Kagome swallowed at that, intrigued, aroused and nervous at the prospect of not being able to cum for a week. He'd deprived her of orgasms on occasion, but never in the somewhat militant fashion he was putting forward now. As for the ears punishment, that was something she hoped he never used against her.

"A punishment could also be somethin' like, not lettin' you have coffee or netflix for a week. Somethin' like that," he explained in a fairly straightforward fashion, "It all depends on what rule you break."

"Can I put a boundary on that?" Kagome waited to see Inuyasha give a nod of confirmation before continuing, "Can we make sure no punishments involve my phone or like...my work schedule? Or, in fact, that none of this interferes with my work life? Like...if I'm on live or filming while you're home, I don't wanna be calling you daddy while wearing just a t-shirt, y'know?"

"That's more than fair," he replied easily, "We can have that rule exempt whenever you're doin' stuff like that."

"Okay, good," she relaxed at that, the thought having crossed her mind when he began to speak about how he wanted their dynamic to be outside of the bedroom. Sure, that was something she was highly interested in as well, very much having enjoyed tastes of his dominant, almost care-taker side whenever they were living their normal lives. It felt good to be taken care of. Even still, the last thing she would want is for that lifestyle to impede on her career.

"One more thing," he breathed against her lips, gently nipping her lower one with a smirk, "Then I can tell you what I plan to do to you," he almost growled into her mouth as he parted his lips to capture hers in a much more domineering kiss. A kiss that was an obvious precursor to what he had planned, all need, heat and yearning. Kagome moaned into it, cupping his neck as she felt another wash of need collect at the apex of her core.

Fuck, did she ever want him, feeling parched and hungry at the same tme.

When he broke away, he had to remind himself not to do much else, not wanting her mind to be too clouded as they finished off their discussion, "Aftercare. I wanna know what you want me to do to help you wind down, after we're done. It can get pretty intense, so it's important that we take some time after to...recover. If I know you, which I do, I have a feelin' my ears are involved," he teased, seeing Kagome give him a bright, knowing smile.

That smile had a small giggle behind it, Kagome nodding in confirmation as she took both of her hands and tweaked both ears at once, "Yeah, cuddling while rubbing your ears is one of my favorite things, regardless of what we do beforehand."

Inuyasha couldn't stop the low rumble that bubbled in his chest, his cock twitching and straining against the seam of his pants as he grabbed her wrists and pulled them from his head, "Not until after," he scolded, pressing a kiss to her palm before nipping that same spot, "Anythin' else you want?"

"I think cuddles sound good. Or, maybe a bath?"

"Alright. We'll do that," he murmured, his mouth showing his growing excitement now that they've established everything they've needed, "Is everything clear?"

Kagome nodded, before repeating what they'd spoken about in a summary, "I ask you when I can cum, I thank you when you do, both when we're together or apart. I need to wear one of your shirts and call you daddy whenever we're alone at home. When we're in the bedroom, I need to listen to and do everything you say. My safeword is 'arrow' and non-verbal is three snaps."

"Good girl," he praised with the reward of her scent spiking between her thighs and wafting around the both of them, "Here's what's gunna happen…" he purred, taking her hand to place it between his legs. A whine escaped Kagome at the obvious pulse of his aching cock against her palm, "Tonight, I wanna see how many times I can make you cum before you beg me to stop," he growled in promise, Kagome knowing full well that he always kept them, "I brought some rope, so I'll be tyin' you up for a bit, too. Make it so you can't push me away."

Inuyasha lost some of his resolve, his own hand snaking between her thighs with the intent to run over the fabric of her panties to see just how much she'd soaked through, "Oh, fuck…" he hissed, his fingers meeting her bare folds instead. At first, he planned to ask if she wasn't wearing any panties, but when he ran his hand up closer to her clit, he felt a familiar soft fabric, "Are these crotchless?"

With a gasp, his touch ignited a sense of excitement and anticipation, finally able to reveal the surprise she'd brought along and had been hiding the whole time. A small nod was all he got, as the only thing she could think of was trying not to completely buckle under the weight of her pleasure. The hand on his cock began a stroking motion as the other kept herself stable by gripping his shoulder.

"Damn…" he snarled, pushing two of his nicely trimmed fingers (the only two he bothered to) within her as his free hand cupped the back of her neck and drew her in for a blazing kiss. The taste of him overwhelmed her senses, moaning hotly into his mouth at the intrusion. It was all tongue and teeth, Inuyasha taking the lead as he pulled his fingers from her to circle her clit a few times, taking note of how engorged it was from all of the necessary build up. His touch was electric, causing Kagome to pull away from his lips to give out a desperate cry for more.

The hand that had been toying with her left her clit, instead spanking against her ass as a gesture for her to straddle him, "C'mere," he murmured through their kiss, immediately feeling Kagome do as he asked, "This dress looks so fuckin' good on you, pretty girl; but, damn do I wish you wore somethin' with a deep cut."

The way her legs spread as she straddled him, it caused the dress to ride up and reveal the leg harnesses that had wrapped so nicely around her thighs. She refrained from making a comment in response to his words, knowing that it was necessary this time around to wear something with such a high collar.

With her situated in his lap, his hands ran down her ass and over her thighs, though halted at the feel of the thicker, tightly-woven material that wrapped around her legs. That was the only reason he'd broken away from indulging in her taste, amber eyes peering down to her legs and seeing the pastel pink straps that caged her thighs. A look of surprise giddiness passed over his features as he stared up at her, "Have you been wearing lingerie this whole time?" he asked, rather dumbfounded but highly, highly ecstatic at the realization, that feeling only magnified when Kagome gave him a nod that was both smug and shy at the same time, "God damn."

There was no time to waste, his hands running up her thighs and beneath the fabric of the dress to bunch it up as they went. The garter belt was the next thing to show, cinching perfectly at the smallest part of her waist and accentuating her hips. His mouth was starting to water with the promise of so much more; he was prepared to see her naked, her body writhing beneath him. But this. Oh, this was like a sprinkling on top of everything else.

"Do you like it?"

Inuyasha was almost offended by her asking such a question. Supposedly, he hadn't been vocal enough or maybe the way his cock pulsed against her palm wasn't strong enough – that would need to be remedied.

"Do I like it?" He began, his signature smirk crossing his rugged features before he continued, "Well, I dunno. Better see the rest of it."

Without warning, he pulled the dress taught before hooking one of his claws at the base of it and running it upward. The sound of ripping fabric would have typically pissed her off to no end, having lost count of how many things he'd ripped in the heat of the moment. This time, however, she couldn't care any less.

When he reached the collar, he realized why she'd worn something so high up on her neck. Hungry eyes could have seared her flesh with how intensely he followed the straps of the harness that wrapped around her throat and criss-crossed against her chest. They framed her chest, allowing Inuyasha to hone in on the fact that the bra that she wore was completely cup-less, her breasts on full display. If his mouth had been watering then, he was on the verge of all-out drooling by this point.

The dress, split completely down the middle, still clung to her body by the long sleeves that wrapped around her arms. Though, because of the stretch of the fabric, it recoiled in a way that left a wide space between the two sides, showing him everything beneath it.

Lifting each breast from beneath, Inuyasha gave off a deep, gritty coo of ardor, "Fuck, your tits are so fuckin' perfect."

A shriek left Kagome as Inuyasha practically lunged his head forward, taking one of her nipples into his mouth and suckling against it like his life depended on it. Circling his tongue around the peak, he let off low growls of contentment and absolute desire as she took the opportunity to peel off the remnants of her dress and toss it aimlessly. His mouth felt so good, hot and wet with the added stimulation he brought with his tongue. Letting her head fall back as she gave off a high-pitched moan as she cradled the back of his with both hands.

Squeezing both breasts together, his mouth barely left her flesh as he moved to the opposite nipple, nipping at it before diving in and continuing the same motions as before. Kagome couldn't help but continue a string of moans and whimpers as he indulged in her body the way he saw fit.

With one fluid motion, he moved them so Kagome was flat on her back, his hips wedged between her thighs as he pressed them forward. A squeak of surprise was his reward, Kagome's arms falling limply at either side of her head as her back hit the mattress. Propped up on his arms, elbows locked and shoulders blades pushed up, she could see the predatory nature of her boyfriend's blood bubbling up through his gaze. Her breathing was already heavy, heart racing in her chest, and he hadn't even fully been trying to make her crazy, yet.

"I'm gunna mark you. Your neck...your chest…everywhere. I want people to know you're mine."

With zero hesitation she managed to breath out, "Yes, daddy."

Usually, she would fight him on leaving love bites on her neck, the rest of her body fair game if they were easy to hide. This weekend, though, she'd make an exception. This weekend, they were anonymous – they could be anyone they wanted.

"You're gunna be my little plaything for the weekend. You want that?" Inuyasha rolled his hips against hers, able to feel the searing heat of her arousal against his throbbing cock. Wrapping a hand around her throat, he leaned his face close to hers, "Let daddy take you whenever he wants? Use you?"

Gripping the wrist of the hand on her throat, Kagome released a desperate whimper of agreement, matching the motion of his hips with her own, "Fuck," the word was a mix between a whine and sob, "Yes."

Releasing her throat to move off the bed, he gripped her hips and tugged her down closer to the foot of it.. She drew in another gasp as she felt the soft sting of his claws pricking against her flesh as she was wittingly wrenched in whatever way he desired. When she was moved enough so her ass was right at the edge of the bed, Inuyasha placed one of knees on the mattress by her hip for stability.

Again, his hand found home on her throat while the other ran between her thighs, those two trimmed fingers trailing over her clit and between her dripping wet folds before sliding them inside. There was no way to stop her body from arching against him, both hands gripping the wrist that held her throat, jaw hanging open in a silent cry before it became audible, "Oh, god!"

Curling his fingers upward, he felt that slightly harder place within her and pressed against it, "Mmmn, you're already so close, aren't you?" He teased, moving his fingers in a way that had Kagome release a very real, primal cry. It hitched in her throat, creating a choked sound that followed he continued to move his fingers, "Yeah? I bet you wanna cum so bad," he hissed through his teeth, moving his hand just a little bit harder so that he was starting to hear that tell-tale splashing sound.

"Uh-huh," was the only sound she could make, overcome with nothing but the thought of him. With his hand on her throat and his finger plunging themselves inside of her, it took everything in her power to remember his words – to remember the rule. That tightening her core kept building and building, causing her thighs to quake as she fought off the desire to snap them closed, "Oh, fuck. Daddy, please," she gasped, breath ragged and littered with delicate whimpers of need.

"Please what?" he growled, finding the opportunity to hear her beg – plead – for him to finish was too good to pass up, "Whaddya want, babygirl?"

All he got in response were gasping sobs, one hand still gripping his wrist while the other gripped the sheets beneath her. Every sound was incoherent, needing every last drop of reason to keep from going against his wishes.

Not giving him an answer resulted in his fingers leaving her, moving to easily circle her clit instead, "You gotta use your words," he whispered, bringing his face close to hers as he bit down on his lower lip, "You wanna cum? Is that what you want?"

"Please," the word was strained, airy in nature as she drew in another gasp, struggling to fill her lungs evenly in order to continue, "Please, let me cum," another deep inhale was taken in, more erratic and frantic, "Please. Please. Please. Let me cum," she begged, pushing her hips up against his fingers as if trying to move them back to push inside of her.

"Ohh, you beg so nicely," he cooed almost sweetly, though there was a darker edge to it, as if he was taunting her, "I think I wanna hear a little more…" His fingers pushed back inside, curving in the same position as they had been before he decided to torment her with a little restraint, "C'mon, let daddy hear it."

The amount of pressure she felt at the juncture of her thighs, her core throbbing and pulsing as her walls gripped against his fingers, "Fuck! I can't – I'm so close –" she cried, clenching her hand into a fist before unclenching it, repeating the action as her hips jolted up against his fingers as they picked up the pace, "I'm gunna – gunna cum. You're gunna make me c-cum. Please. Please, just let me!" Her voice was filled with a strained rasp, almost every muscle in her body quaking and tense restraint, "Please!" Broken up by sobs, her eyes never left his face, watching as his golden gaze bore down at her with a pleasurable cruelty that both infuriated and excited her.

A dark chuckle left him then, hearing the woman beneath him continue to repeat the word 'please' over and over again in the hopes of convincing him to give her what she wanted. As much as he wanted to have her hold out, he could tell by the tension in her walls that she was trying unbelievably hard to be a good girl for him.

Moving his hand at a more brutal pace, he heard the familiar wet sound build in her core. Leaning his face close to hers, their lips a breath away, he wanted an up close look of her when he finally said the words in a confident, commanding tone –

"Cum for me."

Kagome's jaw unhinged as her entire body tensed, head falling back against the mattress as she let herself go. She came hard and long, gushing against his hand as he continued his motions even throughout her orgasm. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head, swearing she was able to see stars as she finally let out a very real scream of euphoria, scooping it out to a growl as she finally let her thighs clap together.

"That's my good girl! Good fuckin' girl!" He cheered, bringing his fingers from between her thighs to press them against her mouth, "Open." Too exhausted to fight it, she complied, opening her mouth and sucking on his fingers clean with a whine, "That's it...that's it…" he cooed, relinquishing his hand from her neck, he cupped her cheek instead, "Good girl…"

Every muscle in her body felt almost numb, limp and lazy as she let her arms lay by her head once again. Letting their gazes meet, Inuyasha could see how hers was clouded over and hazy from her orgasm. Her breaths were boarding on deep, heavy gasps as she loosely moved one of her hands to grip his wrist, "Thank you, daddy…" she murmured breathily, a wide, goofy smiling passing over her face as her eyes started to close.

"Ah-ah-ah," he tutted as he gently patted against her cheek to wake her some, "I'm far from done with you, babygirl."

"W-What?" Her tone of voice gave away the lack of cognizant thought, speech slightly slurred.

"I told you. I'm gunna make you cum until you beg me to stop."

The taste of his lips brought life back into her, cupping his cheeks as they shared a kiss that was very much led by the man who inflicted a sense of pain and pleasure at the same time. A man who had promised her something and, throughout their entire time together, had never broken any promise he made.

He could taste the residue of her orgasm on her tongue, groaning into her mouth at the thought of diving in for more. Then he realized...why shouldn't he?

Breaking away from her lips, he took a mental snapshot of her face before pushing himself off the bed and stripping himself of his shirt. The scent of her was everywhere, able to almost see it in a physical form as he looked at her glistening folds. Tossing his shirt to the side, he moved to the foot of the bed, kneeling down on the floor before wrapping his arms around her thighs and letting the ditch of her legs rest on his shoulders.

If Kagome had the ability to move, she would have happily propped herself up to watch him strip, always transfixed on how his muscles moved as he did so. Too many times had she lost herself in his image, the overall aesthetic of him causing her to become speechless at times. Today hadn't been the only time she'd gawked at him like she did before they went to dinner.

Still trying to catch her breath while fully coming down from her high, it seemed to would get the chance to do so as his mouth descended against her already oversensitive clit. Humming in contentment, Inuyasha let the taste of her ending coat his tongue with the intent to drink all of it down – every last drop she could give him.

"Mnuh!"

She couldn't stop herself from crying out with a hitched groan as she brought both hands down to his head, gripping the hair at the crown of it as his honorific fell from her lips. That groan continued, wrapping around the words 'oh my god' as the stimulation he gave her boarded on painful. Every nerve was in overdrive, able to feel every flick of his tongue, every suckle of his lips and every vibration of any sound he made. Overwhelmed wasn't the right word. It was more than that.

Beneath his palms her thighs shook, having been doing so since her first orgasm. He had half a mind to scold her for touching him without permission, but reminded himself that they hadn't set that rule into play. Instead, he emitted a purr-like growl, keeping his mouth pressed hard against her core with a relentless desire to have her finish.

As he continued his assault, Inuyasha began unbuckling his belt, the sound of clinking metal almost complimentary to the lewd, slurping sounds that he created as he ate her out like she was a luxurious five course meal. Next were his button and zipper, undoing both of them before pushing down the front of both his pants and his boxers to wrap his own hand around his fully erect cock.

All the while, Kagome didn't know how to handle herself, not sure if she wanted to laugh or cry at just how intense he'd made her feel. Sure, he'd made her cum twice in one round, but never had she been as riled up as she was the first time he made her finish. Packing on the promise of another orgasm so soon after that left her in an almost tantric state.

Letting her have some reprieve, Inuyasha pulled his mouth from her pussy, drawing a sound that was both relieved and devastated at the same time from the woman above him. Running his fingers between her folds, he caught some of her slick before using it to help him stroke himself. The wetness dragged a groan from him, taking a moment to relieve some of the pressure as his ears stood up straight, listening to Kagome's ragged breaths and subtle whimpers of unintentional encouragement.

Inuyasha climbed to his feet, still stroking himself as Kagome managed to conjure up enough strength to prop herself up on her elbows. There was no missing the absolute hunger that lingered in her eyes as she watched his hand run over the length of himself, "Still like watchin' be fuck my hand, huh?" His voice had her gaze flitting up to meet his, met with a rather smug look on her boyfriend's face, "But I know what you like better."

Taking a step back from the bed, he took his free hand and gestured for her to come closer with his index finger, "C'mere. On your knees," he commanded, pointing to the space in front of him to make sure he was plenty clear.

With loose muscles, Kagome did as he asked, pushing herself to a seated position before slinking down to her knees on the floor, her back still pressed against the foot of the bed. Then, on all fours, she crawled towards him. The way she slinked added to the overall scene, but in all honesty, Kagome didn't know if she had the ability to stand.

When she was close enough, she moved back to sit on her heels, licking her lips as her mouth started to water. Inuyasha wasn't the only one who enjoyed a more intimate taste of their lover.

"Look at me."

His voice had her snapping her attention to his face, she could see one of her favourite looks he made. It was subtle, something that only she would be able to read; a blend of promise, intensity and adoration. Every time he made it, her heart fluttered and her core tightened with anticipation. Keeping her hands in fists and resting on her thighs, she waited impatiently for the next command.

With a gentle hand, he pushed the side of her index against the bottom of her chin, encouraging her to tilt her head back just a little more. His thumb rested at the top of her chin, making it so he had a small grip on it, "You want my cock, babygirl?" Kagome gave a small nod, lips parting subconsciously at the thought of having her mouth full, "Oh, I know you do. You love it when I fuck your mouth, my dirty girl."

Releasing her chin, he gripped some hair at the back of her head and wrenched it back. With a yelp, Kagome adjusted her knees to accommodate the new pressure against her head. Keeping her attention on his face, her nostrils flared as she started panting again, trying to keep her irritation and arousal both under control from his rough handling.

"I'm gunna tie you up. Wanna make sure you know how to suck me off with just that pretty little mouth of yours," he challenged, leaning down far enough to bestow a searing, commanding kiss to her lips. With a whimper at the intrusion of his tongue, it didn't take long for her to meet his energy.

Not lasting long enough to truly enjoy it, Kagome whined when Inuyasha broke away. Damn. Those sounds would be the end of him.

"You stay right here sittin' pretty with your hands behind your back," he ordered, unable to keep himself from pressing one more kiss to her mouth before he continued, "And don't move."

"Yes, daddy."

Relinquishing his grip on her hair, he watched as she put her hands behind her back, straightening her spine as if to show him she had more confidence that she did.

As he was making his way to the dresser drawer that he'd hid the bundle of rope in, Inuyasha caught a glimpse of his discarded pants. Well, it wasn't the pants he was necessarily looking at. The gleam of the belt buckle enticed him, flitting his attention towards Kagome, her eyes intently on him as she watched his every move. Flashing her a wicked grin, he made his way towards his pants, picking them up before easily sliding the belt from their loops.

Kagome's eyes widened, swallowing down the intimidation that suddenly rushed through her. What did he plan to do with that? She hadn't done anything wrong – she hadn't broken a rule. She hadn't earned a punishment.

Folding it in half, he gripped the belt by each end, holding it out in front of him while turning to catch Kagome's attention once before. The apprehension on her face was hard to miss, eyes staring at the belt with grave assumption.

"Don't worry," he tugged the belt hard enough for it to make a cracking noise, "I'm not gunna use it on you. Well," he began to saunter his way towards her, stopping behind her before looming over her. Damn, did that give him a good view. Kagome craned her neck back to peer up at him, deep brown eyes meeting his golden ones as that wicked smirk returned, "Not like how you think I am, anyways."

It was then that he crouched down, maneuvering the belt into a set of handcuffs that was much more comfortable than rope would be. Putting his fingers into one of the cuffs, he checked the tautness of it as he pressed a surprisingly tender kiss to her shoulder. Pressing his lips to her ear, he nipped at the shell of it before asking if the cuffs were too tight. The sudden shift in his demeanour, from predatory to soft, it had a shiver run up her spine. Turning her head towards his, she managed to catch his gaze before giving a nod.

"That's good," she replied honestly, moving her wrists to verify that she was telling the truth. With her head turned towards him, Kagome bit on her lower lip, "Can I have a kiss, daddy?"

How was it she was able to make him melt so easily with just a few words? Any sense of resolve or dominance left him for that split moment, happily accepting her request. Leaning his face to be a breath away, he parted his lips in invitation, Kagome doing the same in turn until they met. Deliciously slow, Inuyasha gave a hum of contentment, Kagome giving a whine of happiness in return.

Following his lips as he pulled away, Kagome's eyes remained half-lidded before feeling similar kisses run over her jawline and neck. Stopping at a certain point, he dug his teeth into her flesh ever so gently before suckling the spot to soothe. Oftentimes, Kagome would have brought her shoulder to her ear or tell him to stop, but this time she tilted her head to the opposite side, giving him more room. She wanted his marks; she wanted everyone to know who she belonged to.

And fuck did that ever give her a rush.

"Open your mouth," he breathed, dragging a fang down the side of her neck before nipping at her trap. Even if she'd wanted to defy him, the nip to her trap had her gasping, mouth wide and simply keeping it as such as Inuyasha climbed to his feet and made his way to the front of her.

As obedient as ever, he felt a swell of pride fill his chest as he found her mouth still open, "That's my girl," he praised, gripping the base of his cock and pressing the head of him against her lips. Mindful of his force, he pushed between them, feeling the moist warmth of her mouth engulf him. He kept her head still with a commanding grip, though not nearly as hard as before, as he groaned deep and long at the sensation.

There was something about the way her eyes rolled to the back of her head, cheeks hollowed and lips wrapped around his cock that he would gladly have the image etched into his mind, if he could. Slowly, he pushed his hips forward, watching as inch after inch disappeared into her mouth until his head hit the back of her throat. He could feel how she made a swallowing motion before dropping her larynx and pushing her head forward to take just a little bit more. Even with that, she couldn't take all of him. The tightness of her throat around his cock had his face contort, brows furrowed and mouth open with a silent moan.

Keeping her head where it was for a beat or two, she swiftly pulled back enough to draw in a deep, gasping breath, "You're too big…" she panted against the head of him before her tongue circled it to keep some form of stimulation going, "I can't fit all of you…"

Well, if that didn't shoot right down his fuckin' ego he didn't know what would. Kagome was a petite woman by all standards, standing barely at five feet with a small frame. Inuyasha was close to six feet, his build twice the size as hers and an appropriately-sized cock to go alongside it; the fact that she could take as much as she could was impressive all on it's own. All in all, it wasn't surprising that she wasn't able to take all of him or that she thought him too big, as almost any man would be, but that didn't mean he didn't absolutely adore hearing her say it.

"S'okay," he assured, biting down on his lower lip as he pushed himself back into her mouth once again, "Still feels fuckin good." To prove his point, he started up a pace, again ever mindful of her comfort and limits while one ear always seemed trained towards the back of her. If he heard those three snaps, he knew it meant he needed to stop.

When she could, Kagome moaned against his cock as he began to use her mouth as just another hole to fuck, wrists subconsciously pulling against the binds with the desire to make sure he was fully taken. Every once in a while, he would push as deep as he could, holding himself there for a moment or two before pulling out of her mouth completely. Hot, wet gasps of air were all she could give him in return, mouth still parted and easily entered after she'd filled her lungs with enough air to take another round of thrusts.

Grunts and groans from the man above her, an intangible reward that she never wanted to stop hearing. They were there because of her and only her.

As much stamina as Inuyasha had, there was no stopping the rapid heartbeat in his chest and the desperate need for air in his lungs. The amount of concentration it took not to blow his load down her throat was almost too much, needing to stop for a moment with his cock fully out of her mouth. If the feel of her mouth wasn't enough, the way she looked up at him, kiss-bitten lips and euphoric-filled eyes framing the flush of her cheeks, almost made it more difficult to hold restraint.

A few more dooling breaths entered than left his lungs, seeing an expectant expression on Kagome's face, as if waiting for him to start up again; and he had every intention to.

"Show me how much you love my cock, baby."

With a small nod and soft smile, Kagome leaned forward and pressed an open-mouthed kiss to the head of him before taking him in her mouth once again. Bobbing with as even a rhythm as she could, she would do as he did by pushing him to the back of her throat and leaving him there before pulling back to catch her breath and start all over again.

"Fuck…" the hiss was ended with a soft growl at the end of the consonant.

It was becoming more and more difficult to keep his composure, the coil tightening in his pelvis as he watched her absolutely worship the length and girth of him. The crude slurping sounds that came along with that enticing image told him that he needed to take a breather, as he didn't want to find his own release until Kagome had found hers multiple times.

Gripping her hair, he tugged her head back, blessing him with the sound of another heated, moist gasp. That gasp was soon followed by whine, Kagome's tongue licking her lower lip to catch the strings of saliva that remained attached to his shaft.

"Don't worry, babygirl. You can have more later," he purred, leaning down to place a slow, wet kiss to her lips before he pulled away and let go of her hair as he gave another order, "On the bed. Ass up."

When she didn't move, he narrowed his gaze towards her, her cheeks flushing as she brought her shoulders to her ears, "I...I can't get up," she spoke meekly, averting her gaze out of embarrassment. All that did was endear her to him more.

Crouching in front of her, he gave her an amused grin, "Oh really?" He questioned almost mockingly, seeing Kagome's face morph into one of irritation. A chuckle left him at that, pressing a kiss to her forehead as he lifted her bridal style and set her down on the bed gently. A part of him wanted to toss her around, but with her arms bound as they were, it complicated things and brought a higher risk of injury.

Patting her hip, he gestured for her to roll onto her stomach, gripping her hips and lifting her ass once she had. Already, he could see her thighs quivering slightly, telling him that she wasn't lying when she said she couldn't get up, "You're gunna have a hard time walkin' tomorrow," he teased as he climbed onto the bed fully and knelt down right behind her.

"You gunna carry me everywhere?" Kagome quipped with a smirk of her own, hearing how Inuyasha replied with a low chuckle of entertainment.

"Nah, I'll stretch you out good before we go to bed," he stated with promise etched into every syllable before he pressed a toothy kiss to one of her ass cheeks. Straightening up on his knees, he leaned forward, resting his hand by her shoulder as he brought his hand between her thighs. He ran his fingers over her folds, feeling just how wet she still was, before moving to her clit and circling it at an almost agonizingly slow pace.

Whimpering in response, Kagome pushed her hips back against his hand, biting her lower lip to try and quell the sounds that begged to leave her mouth. Instead, she groaned while turning her head to the opposite side, as if that would help ground her. She was still so fucking sensitive to the point of almost painful, her last orgasm enough for her to pass out for the night if he let her.

Pressing a kiss between her shoulder blades, Inuyasha continued moving his hand, drawing more and more exasperated mewling from the woman beneath him. The woman who gave and gave and gave to him. The woman who had been the only person to see him vulnerable, all defenses down.

It was time for him to give back.

Moving back, he moved his hand from her clit, only to place a slow, open mouthed kiss, tongue flat against her folds to try and drink in as much of her as possible. It was only once but it was enough to draw out a squeak from her.

Wordlessly, he gave her ass a pat before climbing off the bed and heading to the dresser drawer where he'd hidden the rope. It left Kagome slightly confused, turning her head to the opposite side so he could see where he went. When she saw him rummaging through the dresser, she relaxed, having been concerned that he'd planned to just leave her as she was.

Kagome waited patiently, using the time without him constantly stimulating her to catch her bearings and level her mind out enough to handle whatever he planned to inflict upon her next. Deep, slow breaths were taken one after another, calming her heart and letting some of the blood flow to leave her core and enter back into her brain. It wasn't much, but it gave her enough foundation to regain some sort of focus and enjoy his torment a little bit longer.

The sound of faint buzzing had some of said foundation crumble beneath her, eyes wide open with little time to prepare as a rapid vibration pressed against her clit. A very real cry echoed throughout the bedroom, thighs quaking as Inuyasha pressed the small, vibrating bullet against her, "You've been such a good girl, baby. I'm gunna let you cum whenever you want," he cooed as he moved the toy up and down her clit in a teasing manner.

"Ah! Oh...shit…" she hissed, fists clenching and resisting against the belt around her wrists as the vibration shot right to the coiling feeling in her core, "Daddy, it's so much," she gasped, breath ragged as she lifted her head to try and peer behind her, only to see him staring back at her with a wide mirth.

The warmth of Inuyasha's palm ran over her lower back and hip before giving her the first very real spank against one of her ass cheeks. The crack was paired with a pleasured yelp from Kagome, causing her to dig her head back into the mattress to muffle the loud whines that followed. That wouldn't do.

Keeping his hand against the bullet, Inuyasha straightened up on his knee, taking his free hand and reaching out to grip some hair at the nape of her neck. Tugging her head back he hovered his face over hers with a snarl, "I wanna hear you," he spoke darkly, tone gritty and filled with a very real warning.

A soft sob of euphoria left her at that, nodding in response before saying the two words that she knew he wanted to hear for the rest of the night, "Yes, daddy."

"You're close, aren't you?" He breathed, keeping that same darkened tone as his head leaned closer to hers, "C'mon, I know you wanna. Do it…" he urged, able to hear every hitched sob and choked whine that left her, becoming more and more erratic and desperate as her coil tightened and tightened, "Do it," that time it was spoken through gritted teeth, pushing Kagome over the edge as her entire body wracked with pleasure.

She was silent for a moment, feeling her walls clench around nothing as her orgasm shot up her spine and finally reached her brain fully. Another raspy cry left her, feeling him release her hair so she could go limp against the bed, "Fuck. Oh fuck," she choked, relieved to feel the vibration leave her. But it was a false hope that she'd have time to recover.

"Whaddya say?" He asked rather seriously.

Something akin to a scream left her as he pushed into her with one swift thrust, head thrown back as he began a brutal, slapping pace that had Kagome continue to wail and shriek, "Thank you, daddy!"

With his first thrust, he let his head fall back with a deep, lingering groan, her pussy so incredibly tight as it wrapped around him. He could feel how it pulsed from her orgasm, the waves still crashing over her as he gripped her hips with a bruising pressure and began to thrust into her over and over again. Jaw clenched and lip curled with pleasure, he looked down to their union, watching as his cock began to glisten with her ending.

"Holy fuck, baby. Your pussy's so fuckin' good." A primal growl if Kagome ever heard it, her eyes rolling to the back of her head and her jaw hung open to continue her incoherent mewling, "You want my cum, babygirl? Want me to cum inside you?"

"Fuck, yes!" She growled loudly, "Please! I want it!"

A dark, wicked chuckle vibrated behind her, almost cruel in nature as he continued his relentless pace that continually hit against her g-spot, "Listen to you. Such a cock hungry whore for me," he panted, reaching one hand to grab her bindings and tug her backward. The grip had her lifted off the bed, back arched and head hanging forward as she let him use her body in whatever way he desired.

"Yes," a gasp, "Yes! Please. Give it to me," she whined through gritted teeth, words skipping each time his hips made contact with her ass.

Tugging her arms back enough for her to be upright, he took his free arm and wrapped it around her chest, hand cupping the opposite breast. It hindered his range of motion, but fucking her into oblivion could be done in many different ways.

Pressing his lips to the shell of her ear, he took his other hand and ran it between her thighs, "Who does this belong to?" he asked, slowing his motions to pat his hand against her clit a few times, "Whose is it?"

She was already so close, every nerve at full alert and with the way they were positioned, it gave him perfect leverage to push his cock against that blessed spot that would bring her to nirvana. With her chest rising and falling at a rapid pace, panting heavily as she let her head fall back against his shoulder, "Yours. It's yours."

"And who am I, Kagome?" he asked, tweaking her nipple between his fingers and dragging a high-pitched moan from the woman against him.

"My daddy." She answered almost frantically, not sure if that was the correct answer but couldn't think of much else. When she heard that hum of approval, she matched it with a whimper of relief.

The pace he'd set was steady and even, pausing when he was all the way in once in a while to bask in the plushness of her walls as she they began to clench and unclench around him, "Good girl," he breathed against her ear with praise, nipping at her lobe as he began to circle her clit.

"Mnuh!" Kagome didn't know how much more this she could take, the sensation bordering on painful as he played while fucking into her, "Daddy, oh god. I'm...I don't –" a raspy breath brought into her lungs cut her off, knowing that it wouldn't be long until she found herself finding her peak once again, "Please. I'm close –"

Even though she pleaded, she couldn't help but think maybe not cumming was the better option. Well, obviously not, as she felt that tightening once again, lips opening to start another string of pleas. The way Inuyasha pressed hot, wet kisses to wherever his lips could reach didn't help with keeping her composure either.

"Oh fuck," he breathed into her ear, traveling from there and down her spine causing it to arch, "Yes. Cum around my cock, pretty girl. I wanna feel it." His words continued to be a hot breath against her ear, nipping at the lobe of it and tugging with a soft growl.

It was almost as if his voice was the reason she found her end for a third time – or maybe she'd just never stopped. Clamping around his cock so hard it drew a groan from him, his voice vibrating against her neck as he dug his head against it, her walls quivered at the first wave of her ending. Actually clenching against something, it felt so much more satisfying, like she was actually quenching some metaphorical thirst that the first two hadn't been able to fully give her. Somehow, she managed to muster up enough coherent thought to thank him, though it was spoken through strained, ragged breaths while she did.

"Daddy, I'm –" her words were cut short by his hand on her throat, "I can't –" she cried, wiggling her fingers as she pulled against the restraints, "It's –" she sobbed, "It's so much. You're –"

"One more," he interjected before licking a stripe over her jawline, ending it at her chin with a kiss, "Gimme one more," he purred, turning her head towards his so he was able to give her a somewhat sloppy kiss to her lips, desperate for a taste of her.

Returning the kiss, she whimpered into his mouth, feeling his hand still on her throat as the other reached down to undo the belt and loosen her restraints. Taking each wrist, he pulled them free, immediately feeling one of her hands grip the wrist that held her throat as the other cupped the side of her face.

Breaking the kiss, it was Inuyasha's turn to follow her taste as Kagome pulled her head away enough to catch his gaze, "Can I see your face when I do?"

God damn. She was a harlot and a saint at the same time, managing to blend the two effortlessly and make it impossible to deny her anything. Giving her a nod, he felt her shift, pulling herself from his cock only to turn herself to face him. Somehow, she pushed herself up on her knees, arms wrapping around his neck as she drew him in for a frenzied string of kisses. As fun as it was being tied up, she couldn't deny how much she missed being able to hold onto him – to touch him in return as he brought her cloud nine and back.

Wrapping both arms around her, he crushed her against him for a few moments as he simply allowed himself to sink into her taste and the feeling of her body pressed against his. It was enough of a distraction for a minute before he felt the aching in his cock, the plea for release. Unwinding one of his arms, he began to lower them onto the bed, Kagome holding onto him tightly until she felt her back hit the mattress. Even still, she didn't keep her touch from him, moving her hands to his cheeks as she continued their barrage of needy, tongue-filled kisses.

Inuyasha moved to hover over her, happily drinking in the touch of her hands. Lining himself with one of his hands holding his base, he ran his head over the length of her folds before pushing back in with a pleasured grunt. The familiar stretch had Kagome gasping against his mouth only to pull away so she could arch her back and let her head fall against the mattress. She was still clenched tightly around him, Inuyasha digging his head into the crook of her neck as he started pistoning his hips against her.

Fangs scraped against her decolletage and across one of her collar bones before sucking at the skin at the junction of where her neck met her shoulder. His touch was searing her flesh, lighting every inch of her on fire. She needed to ground herself, cupping the nape of his neck and gripping a fistful of hair to do so as if she were afraid that she'd somehow become swallowed by the ground beneath them if she didn't.

As much as he adored being so close to her, so wrapped in her scent, he needed leverage and pushed himself up so he sat back on his haunches, "Gimme a pillow," he ordered through laboured breaths, Kagome blindly reaching above her head to grip one and toss it to him. Leaning forward, he wrapped his arm around the small of her back to lift her ass up off the bed and slide the pillow beneath it – there were too many to count on the bed, so getting one of them wet wasn't going to be an issue.

Leaning back, he took a moment to enjoy the view, the love of his life thoroughly fucked with her face flushed from three – soon to be four – orgasms that he'd given her. The way her eyes peered up at him with a cloudiness that told him that her mind was barren aside from the desire she held for him and when he provided her. How he'd managed to hold out as long as he had was nothing short of a miracle.

There was no holding back the desire to run his hand up over her stomach, over to her sides and back down over the curve of her waist before ending on her hips, "Fuck, you're gorgeous," he mused, though it was almost as if it was to himself, eyes simply following the path of his hand before lifting his head and catching her gaze.

That tender moment was quickly dashed as a wily smirk tugged at the sides of his mouth, taking hold of her hips and drawing them against him with a rough jolt, leaning back some to give himself both leverage and power behind each thrust.

Kagome's hands fisted the sheets beneath her, back arching to the point where the top of her head rested and met the mattress as her jaw dropped open with a shriek. The pillow had it so he was angled inside of her in a similar way his fingers would have been, should he wish to draw a rather intense orgasm from her. That almost had her afraid, not sure if her body would be able to handle such a body-quaking ending after she felt so strung out she was close to snapping in two.

With each forward shift of his hips, he drew her own back against him, their hips meeting with brutal intensity that was necessary for both of them to find their ends. Inuyasha's own orgasm built in his groin, jaw clenched and teeth bared as he stared down at her, watching her entire body jolt at the force and strength of his thrusts. The erratic quivering around his cock told him that she was close, which was a blessing in disguise for him, as he didn't know how much longer he could keep his composure.

That familiar wet sound began splashing in her pelvis, a promise soon to be fulfilled as her jaw hung open and her eyes rolled to the back of her head. She couldn't breathe, could barely think and the only thing on her mind was him. His name, his touch, his very being.

When he ordered her to finish, she felt as if her soul had left her body, every muscle tensing as her back continued to arch upward. She didn't know where she was anymore, didn't know which way was up or down. It was as if she were floating in white space, her entire body almost going numb as she came for the fourth and final time.

As she came, soaking not only the pillow but Inuaysha himself, he did the same, releasing her hips to lean forward slightly and grip the sheets beneath him, puncturing holes in the fabric. Rope after rope of his seed filled her, groaning and growling with each spurt until he knew he was completely spent.

It was as if her body knew to wait, to make sure he was finished before that numbness faded away and she swore she could feel her blood rushing through every vein in her body. What came over her was unexplainable. With the come down of the first wave came a wash of every positive chemical in her brain, flooding over everything else and leaving her in hysterics.

The gasp she drew in as she came to, so to speak, was followed by her drawing her thighs close and bringing her knees up towards her chest as she lifted her forearms from the mattress with her fists clenched. As she released her breath, it came out as a choked, very real sob of relief. After that sob followed another and another, gasping for air before wheezing it out, "No more. Please. Oh – god! Please –" another hiccuped sob, "I can't – I can't take it. Please!"

The visceral response had Inuyasha both smug and slightly on edge, having come down from his own climax and sobered by her reaction. Pulling from her, he pried her legs open and hovered over her, careful not to press against the reason for her breakdown. Cupping her cheek, he wiped her tears away as he cooed in an effort to calm her down, to bring her back down, "Shh, we're done. We're done, baby," he assured, pressing kisses to her cheeks, nose and chin before pulling away enough to catch her gaze, "Look at me. Hey, I'm right here. Look at me."

Kagome gripped his biceps, those frantic breaths continuing between shoulder-wracking sobs, "I –" When he asked her to look at him, she did, finding something to focus on in the tenderness of his gaze, basking in the way he touched her so soothingly.

"You okay?" The words were paired with the soothing touch of his hand brushing her bangs back. The deep breaths started to calm at the knowledge that there was no chance of her experiencing another mind-blowing orgasm.

"I'm sorry –" she whimpered after she'd given a confirming nod that she was alright, "I don't know what – what happened."

"Shh. No. Don't apologize. You did so good, baby. I know it was a lot, but you did so good," he cooed with a nod as he sealed his statement with a gentle kiss to her lips, "Did you like it? Did it feel good?"

Lifting one of her hands to face, she wiped away her tears while giving him another nod, "Yes. I did. I just – I'd never –"

"It's okay. It's okay. Just relax. I'm gunna help you outta this, alright?" He peered down at the way the harness crossed over her body, already confused by how it worked, "But you uh – you might needa help me," he stated with a nervous laugh.

The amused laugh in return was still laced in the aftermath of shedding tears, but Kagome was quickly starting to regain some sort of semblance of stability, "It loosens at the back," she explained as she turned her head to the side, giving him the view of the buckle.

With the harness piece off, he stripped her of the rest of the lingerie with ease, gingerly moving her as he needed to have her completely naked.

"How're your wrists feelin'?" He asked while tugging off her panties and tossing them carelessly alongside the rest of their clothes.

"They're fine."

"Shoulders?"

"A little sore."

"Anywhere else?"

"My body feels numb and on fire at the same time," she replied through sniffles and hitched breaths, continuously wiping away stray tears as she did so.

Last to go were her heels, pulling them off one at a time and carelessly dropping them to the floor, "You sure you're okay? Do you need anything?"

"I feel lightheaded, I can't really...think…"

"That's normal," he comforted, taking one of her feet in his hands and pressing his thumb to the sole of it.

"Think I just need," she drew in a shaky breath, leftover residue of the crying fit she had previously, "I just need you."

Crawling back over her, he leaned down to press kisses against the place where her chest met her shoulder, knowing that would be where most of the stretch would be, "I'll run us a bath and grab you some water," he murmured, trailing his lips up and over her neck, across her jawline to her lips. The kiss was short, but held just as much tenderness, and as he pulled away, he couldn't help but breath the words, "Fuck, I love you…"

"I love you, too…" she replied with the same breathiness, gracing him with one of her infectious smiles, "I really liked this...all of it. Really," she emphasized, running her hands down the front of his chest, "Thank you."

"I should thankin' you," he murmured with one slow nod, "It takes a lotta trust to let me do what I did…"

"I trust you," she mused, knowing the implications of her words, "I trust you with this, trust you'll never hurt me," she added with a gentle smile, cupping both of his cheeks and indulging in his taste one last time before he broke away to start running the bath.

As Kagome lay there, alone on the bed, a smile crept over her face. By the time Inuyasha returned, glass of water in hand, that smile only widened, cocking a brow upward quizzically, "What's the smile for?"

"So...you like Valentine's day now?"
