Chapter 12: Need.

________________________________________________________________

Liana struggled but he tightened his hold.

His whisper came out in pleading want. "Please....I need to....touch you. I.....need your.....warmth."

Her voice quivered with fear. "Why me?...I have not known a man before. I....do not know how to....satisfy a male......"

He pulled part of her dress down, exposing her shoulder.

Sesshomaru tasted the creamy white skin. "You do not have to do anything. All you must do is remain still and let me......touch you......I will be......gentle....."

He stroked her arm and kissed over the tender white skin of her shoulder up her neck and then to the small place behind her ear.

The young girl shook under him.

She began to sob.

Sesshomaru stopped. "Please.......accept me.......do not fear me...."

Even as he caressed the smoothness of her cheek, she cried harder.

Despaired, he let go of the frightened creature.

At first she lay unmoving, hesitant.

He swallowed and moved away from her some, his voice, strained and halting. "Go......you are.....free to go."

Quickly, the young girl got up and fled from the room.

Sesshomaru curled in on himself, shaking with something he could not understand.

It was coming for him......a distant thunderous sound, booming closer with each beat of his heart: The darkness blanked his soul; smothering, consuming, taking control.

Being buried by the blackness, Sesshomaru shuddered with the earth quaking thunder and with the overpowering sense of loss: loss of his identity, loss of his spirit, loss of his mind.

He had been wrong, the fall was not short: It would be eternal.

The dog demon lay there, shuddering, as a long, low-pitched whimper slipped out of his throat.

A lightness wisped over his shoulder.

The darkness faded, replaced by the light of the fire.

He blinked and looked up.

Green eyes tinged with worry and some caution peered down at him.

When his vision fell to her dress, his heart sped up.

Liana wore a yellow silk robe, tied at the waist with a yellow belt.

Her long brown hair lustered in the firelight.

Sitting up on the bed, he moved away from her out of respect and covered himself.

She tilted her head and blinked. Something in her green eyes studied him, trying to decide, but about what, he did not know.

They remained like that for several moments.

Finally, the pondering gleam in her green depths fell away to decision.

He watched intently as she silently untied the belt.

The yellow garment first bunched up over her chest as she held it there.

Then....slowly, she let it fall to the floor.

Sesshomaru, stunned, dared not move, for lest she bolt.

Her body was lean: slender curves, well muscled arms and thighs, and semi-full but dainty hips.

With an unreadable expression, she watched him as he gazed over her body.

Enticed by the female before him, he could not believe how much the mere sight of her aroused him so.

Captivated, he sniffed the air to determine her intent.

Finding nothing but curiosity and a tinge of fear, he cautiously leaned forward and crawled, one movement at a time, towards her while keeping his eyes locked with hers.

She did not back away.

He stopped mere inches from the bare female.

Reaching one clawed hand out, he froze. "Can I.....touch you?"

Emotion softened in her green eyes as she slowly nodded once.

Moving closer, he grasped her hips gently with both clawed hands and pulled her to him.

She wavered on her feet, grasping his shoulders for leverage.

Laying his cheek against her flat belly as his arms encircled her waist, embracing her, he whispered. "Are you frightened......of me.....of this....?"

Her hands moved from his shoulder and stroked his hair. "I would be lying if I said no. I am afraid.....it will hurt....but I do not think I am afraid.....of you."

Not quite satisified with the reply, he looked up into misty, green pools. "Do you want to mate with me?.......Are you certain you are ready?"

She seemed to be considering his questions.

With a deep breath, she caressed his cheek, tracing his red marking. "Yes."

Now satisfied, he pulled the young female down to lay beside him.

Sesshomaru did not touch her immediately but chose instead to just enjoy the feeling of being near her.

As they lay together in the quietness, he listened to Liana's light breathing mingle with the crackle of the fire.

Her creamy skin, radiant with the mellow light given by the flames, rose and fell in rhythm with her faint but deepening breaths.

His gaze delighted in the softness.

He needed her so badly; A lusterous desiring need to hold her young body and fall into the very core of her kindness and compassion.

Sesshomaru yearned for her merciful, pure, and inviting touch, to surrender to the inner beauty, mirrored in her fair and delicate features.

He needed her....He needed Liana.

She was trembling again and he knew he must quell the young girl's apprehension.

With a light touch to Liana's chin, he directed her attention to him.

Leaning over, he pressed his lips against her soft ones, licking once across her pink bottom lip.

Her breathing quickened and he kissed her cheek then whispered in her ear. "I promise......I will be gentle."

Sniffing in her fragrant, brown hair, he groaned. "You smell like flowers."

He inhaled deeply, catching every part of her scent.

The dog demon inwardly smiled. She was not in heat. No pup would come from this union.

"Liana...." he breathed. "....you are not in heat....we will not create a life in our mating."

Liana's eyes were closed but she seemed to understand and nodded with a small smile.

He caressed her face. "Liana, can I touch you?"

She opened her eyes and gazed at him. "Yes.....but I want to know something before we.....mate."

A little curious, the inu youkai gave a small smile. "What is it that you wish to know?"

She looked at him with a smile of innocence. "I want to know.....your name."

He blinked, caught offguard by the question and the hint of some foreign emotion shining in her green eyes. "I..." He hesitated. "For what little it is worth...... My name is Sesshomaru."

The smile she wore, softened and she repeated his name under her breath in a quiet whisper. "Sesshomaru....interesting name."

Hearing his name spoken again after so long made his heart thump hard in his chest. It was something that he had not realized was slipping away from him.

He decided he liked hearing Liana say it.

Liana's voice rose above the whisper. "It is worth more than the rain. I am honored you shared it with me."

Reaching over, she grasped a lock of his silver hair, rubbing it in between her fingers. "It's so soft....and it shines when the sunlight hits it from the window."

He gently took her hand and kissed the tips of her fingers, never taking his gaze from hers.

With a deep breath, the female pulled him closer. "I.....am ready."

Sesshomaru took her in his arms, kissing her body and caressing her skin.

Liana gasped and wriggled beneath him as her fingers tangled in his hair, whispering one word with fervent need. "Sesshomaru....."

Taking a deep breath, he laid his head on her chest, the sound of her beating heart, loud in his ear.

Her quickened breathing slowed a pace as she panted. "Why......why did you.....stop?"

Trying to control the overwhelming need to enter her warmth, he spoke barely above a whisper. "I....want to mate with you....to be inside you... when you......reach your pleasure."

After a few moments, Liana's breathing calmed.

He could wait no longer. His arousal combined with Lianna's occasional but impatient light bucks called to his instints, driving him with the ache for her.

Raising up, he looked into green eyes overflowing with desire....for him. His silver hair fell about them, curtaining the small female beneath him, hiding their private union from the dancing shadows.

Taking himself in his right hand, he positioned himself at her entrance.

Slowly, by degrees, he eased into her.

The girl beneath him struggled with their joining.

She seemed to be caught between discomfort and frustration.

Then, he felt it, something inside of her.....tore.

Liana cried out and he stopped.

The coppery smell of blood invaded his senses, confusing him. "Liana......did I hurt you?"

She let out a low moan. "Yes.....but it is nothing, do not worry, it is meant to happen....It will...get better."

She looked up to him and touched his cheek.

He bent down, licked the salty drop that had fallen down her cheek and kissed her mouth until she relaxed and the pain in her scent faded away.

Gradually, he pushed until her wet warmth accepted all of him.

He panted with exertion while Liana adjusted to him.

As moments passed, he nuzzled in her hair and placed small kisses on her shoulders, neck and face, pausing at times to suck tenderly on her salty, sweet skin and whisper soothing words; how pretty she was and how good she felt and how he needed her so.

When he became certain that Liana's slight discomfort had lessened, he pulled himself out of her in one slow stroke.

Just before the had nearly pulled all the way out, Sesshomaru thrust smoothly back into her.

Liana gasped.

Beginning a slow rhythm at first, Sesshomaru gradually quickened the paces. Liana's gasps matured into moans of ecstasy.

Soon, the female beneath him began to match his rhythm.

Sesshomaru could feel it. Liana was ascending, rising to the pinacle of her release.

With one hard thrust, he felt her tighten around him in a sudden quivering, pulling sensation and she cried out his name.

When her soft cry coupled with the tightness, he pulled back once more, only to thrust deeply back into her, releasing his seed while groaning with his own pleasure and breathing her name as well.

For several moments, they lay together, breathing heavily and trembling in the aftermath of their coupling.

Sesshomaru rolled over, pulling her small, almost limp form with him.

He smiled faintly, she was exhausted.

Liana's breathing evened out as he stroked her hair.

Soon, the young woman in his arms fell into sleep.

Before he too drifted into a peaceful slumber, he hugged her close to him for a moment. "Thank you. Liana."

. Ras here, I hope all realized what exactly is happening to Sesshomaru. He felt his only hope of retaining his sanity and finding comfort lay in sharing this with Lianna. He needed to be with her to ease some of what he was going through. Liana was frightened. But more of something she had never done before and with a demon no less.

All comments are welcome. I would like to know if his story is comming out too graphic or harsh. I have put this story up on Adult fan fiction in the NC-17 catagory. If there is anything in this story that may offend anyone. I will consider removing that part of my story on this site, since I can put up the more graphic version on Adult Fanfiction.net. Hope all were entertained. Please. Please review. Ras.

Review responses:

Akida: Oh, I didn't mean inflict that kind of image. Didn't occur to me at the time.

fan of story: Now Sesshomaru can inflict any type of pain he wants on anyone else. except his owner or owner's blood kin. Lianna is not kin to Pandora. He could kill Lianna if he wanted to. Thanks so much for the info on Aoshi. I may check out the two sites you mentioned. Drop me a line. Ras. ^_^

Lil' Chi Chi: I am not really sure if Sessy's honor will ever be completely destroyed. It's all that keeps him from killing himself at the moment. I can't having him end his life. eeps. It's really weird. Sometimes things just seem to happen and take a course of their own in my writing. but I try my best to stick to the plot. Till next time. Ras.

Trio Spade: ^_^ she is cruel isn't she.
