A/N: Hey, R/R thanks everyone!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Hardy's heart beat at an unhealthy pounding pace. Millions of thoughts ran through her head as she slowly slipped into the bath. She didn't know what to do..

'What do I do?' She thought angrily. 'Will I be good enough for him? Will he like me?' Her worries were mounting.

Dunking her head under the water she tried to clear all thoughts from her head. As she came back to the surface taking a small breath of the lilac scented air then bringing her mouth back to the water blowing small bubbles, all the thoughts came flooding back to her. A small knock came at the door and Hardy figured that was her sign to get out of the hot spring.

Slipping out of the tub, she dried off slipping into a thin night shirt. She slowly walked down the hall, she didn't want to get to the room. When Hardy lifted her gaze from the floor she was at the bedroom door. She knocked but heard no answer.

Hardy carefully opened the door and slipped in. Sesshoumaru was nowhere to be found. Playing with her nightshirt she began to think again.

'Will it hurt?' Was her biggest concern. All of her friends had told her it burned like hell, but she didn't know what to think. She was still a virgin and had planned to keep it that way for a while. But Sesshoumaru had to come along and ruin her plans.

Hardy slinked back into the darkest corner of the room, pressing her back against the cold stone wall. Maybe Sesshoumaru wouldn't see her. But she frowned, he could sure smell her after the bath. She smelled like lavender.

Hardy gasped as Sesshoumaru quickly slipped into the room. She lifted her eyes to the ceiling. She felt the hot liquid tears forming in her eyes. She didn't want to do this. Pressing her body, if possible, closer to the wall, she let the tears flow. She closed her eyes, she didn't want to look into his. The movements in the room stopped and Hardy opened her eyes and gazed into the golden orbs of Sesshoumaru.

Sesshoumaru slowly walked up to Hardy, wiping the tears away gently with his thumb. He stepped back, untying his sash and letting his kimono slid to the floor. Lifting his hand he soothingly traced the outline of her body with his finger.

As quick as could be, Sesshoumaru's claws had cut into her nightshirt. It fell quickly to the floor in a heap. Hardy gasped. Pale blush graced her face as she looked down at her now naked form, and a VERY aroused section of Sesshoumaru. Hardy jerked her head up as her cheeks grew a deeper crimson color. She couldn't IMAGINE how she was going to fit that inside of her.

She looked around..No place to escape. All the fates seemed intent on making her bed with the Lord. Hardy's breathing became faster and her heart seemed ready to escape her chest at any moment.

'Well.' She thought to herself. 'I might as well enjoy it.' But another part of her was screaming, 'NO!'

Hardy lifted her hand and placed it on the well muscled chest of Sesshoumaru. She felt him tremble to her touch. Sesshoumaru smiled and gently picked Hardy up, laying her on the bed. He then started to tenderly lick and nip her left breast, while his right hand tenderly massaged her right breast.

Hardy bit on her lip to prevent the moan threatening to escape her lips. Sesshoumaru's mouth left her breast and he kissed her, his silver hair falling on either side of her face creating a veil to hide them both from the world. His tongue slid quickly into her mouth and it wrestled with Hardy's. The two tongues fought for ownership of the others mouth, but Sesshoumaru eventually won control.

When he finished, he lifted his mouth and stared at Hardy, a smile crossing his lips. Hardy tried to focus her thoughts. Sesshoumaru's arrogant smile pissed her off. He knew what to do, which buttons to press. Hardy felt his hand slowly trace the way down to the "V" in her thighs. His fingers touched her entrance and he smiled wider. He pushed his fingers into her. Pushing them in and pulling them out. He went fast, then when he felt Hardy tense, he would go slower. It went on like this for what seemed like forever, bringing her close to a climax, then back down.

Hardy closed her eyes and bit on her lip again, but it was no use. A loud moan escaped her lips and she gasped in pleasure. Sesshoumaru pulled his fingers out and kissed Hardy, again their tongues wrestling. But Sesshoumaru brought his head up and straddled Hardy's waist. He positioned himself just above her entrance.

"Are you ready?" He questioned. And Hardy nodded as Sesshoumaru brushed a strand of hair out of her slightly sweaty face.

Hardy's breathing became faster and harder as he slowly lowered his body. It would hurt more if he took it slow.. So.. Sesshoumaru pushed in ripping through the virgin barrier with ruthless precision. Hardy whimpered in pain.

"It..It... H-hurts.. S-Stop.. N-now." She cried, tears streaming down her face. Hardy struggled underneath the weight of the demon Lord.. She needed to get him out of her. Her shoulders rose with her struggling, and as they did Sesshoumaru bit fown on the right one.

Her endless bucking and writhing caused him pleasure, but she was clearly in pain. Sesshoumaru lifted his mouth from her shoulder and he gently whispered in her ear.

"I know it hurts! But lie still, it only gets better."

Hardy tried to still her movements but to no avail. "But..I-It hurts." She cried out.

Slowly the pain receded. And she began to calm. Sesshoumaru ground his hips against Hardy's. She groaned loudly as he began to move faster in and out of her. She lifted her hands tangling them in his hair and pushing his lips to hers. Panting they stopped kissing.

Sesshoumaru began to exit her, but her whimpering protests caused him to enter her once again. Hardy suddenly felt empty without Sesshoumaru inside of her. Sesshoumaru chuckled. No longer was she innocent little Hardy. She was now his mate.

Sesshoumaru continued to thrust in and out of Hardy, as their moans became louder. The smell of sweat and love making filled the room. Hardy leaned up clamping onto Sesshoumaru's shoulder, as he clamped onto hers.

Taking her mouth off of his shoulder she licked the small amount of blood of his shoulder. Sesshoumaru erupted a final cry, finishing his thrusts. Hardy cried out, the building pleasure reaching it's own startling climax as it rolled within her. Pain and pleasure lanced her body as she bit, once more onto Sesshoumaru.

Now he was hers. Sesshoumaru slumped against Hardy. He smiled. Hardy was his. The pain radiating from his right shoulder was proof of that. Hardy's panting slowly faded as did the pain, and as it did, he fell into a dreamless sleep, his head resting on Hardy's shoulder.

Hardy watched Sesshoumaru for a while. She felt his sweat drenched body raising and falling with his slow breaths. Gently brushing his sweaty hair from his face she kissed his forehead. He smiled as he slept. Hardy smiled with him as she fell into her own, dreamless sleep.
