Chapter 17: A pause in time…a moment

Sesshoumaru found Rin sitting on a tree just a few miles from where they were camping, he figured that she needed to get away from Kagome, and that was frightening knowing what she needed wasn't something he wasn't very happy about knowing something like that but it served its purpose of calming him and enraging him all at once. He could smell the salt on her, he stood just below the trunk that she was sitting on.

"Why?" she asked quietly.

"I do not know I just needed to be here," said Sesshoumaru feeling like a first class idiot every minute that he stood there. "That is what I felt."

"Oh" was all she said moving her hand to wipe her tears away the last person she wanted to look weak in front of was Sesshoumaru. "Thank you I suppose."

"So my brother's precious woman is your sister?" he asked, hell what a surprise that is, but maybe here he stood so he can finally get his sexual frustration out of his system, that was all he felt for her.

"So it seems" she said. "I mean I been looking for her all these years only to find that she was here in this time frame, and with your brother nonetheless."

"Are you angry?" he asked. "I did not mean to intrude in your conversation with that low life Naraku."

"No" she said still looking ahead. "You heard didn't you?"

"Yes I did" he said.

"How ironic" she said finally looking at him. "That the two of us should meet" Rin smiled and jumped down from the tree and smiled at him with a look of relief. "Now you know then."

He watched as the ribbon holding her hair came loose and her hair fell around her face. He reached out and caught a few strands with his fingers.

Rin closed her eyes as a waved ran through her, only he could do this to her, it was because of this feel that he brought out that .

He stepped forward and looked down at her his hand on her cheek showing her the sort of affection he forgot about along time ago, yet here he was touching her like he was her lover. "Did you love him?"

She closed her eyes and leaned into his hand a little more. "I did once, but that was so long ago."

"I see," he said.

"Is that all you wanted to know?" she asked looking up at him. "You don't want to know nothing more about my past?"

He nodded as he brought her towards him. "That is all I need to know, it is not my concern what you did in your past."

Rin gasped when he held her tight, tears stinging her eyes almost fast, "Thank you."

"There is many things I do not understand about you, and much I do not know, but something about you gives me peace" said Sesshoumaru, "and that is all I care for now."

She held onto him tighter, "And I feel the same way about you."

She pulled away a little to look at him. He leaned down and captured her lips with his. The feelings that he felt with her was unlike he ever felt before again that hypocrisy level going up. Sesshoumaru pushed her against the tree and deepened the kiss. Rin gasped as his tongue went to meet hers. He kissed her soft mouth forcing down the desire to share with her the sweet pleasure. The kiss was heavy and drugging. She clung to him as his mouth moved on hers.

He pulled away only to push at her kimono. Rin pulled the sash and watched as his eyes followed the opening it formed. He pushed it off her shoulder and she stood before him naked. He leaned down and he kissed her shoulders before moving to her neck. She gasped and moaned for him. What he wanted more then anything these past few months that she has been with him was to hear her make those noise for him and for him alone. She pushed her hands through the opening of his kimono and sought the sleek, hard contours of his body. He muttered something unintelligible when she stroked his muscled back and arched herself into his fierce heat. She lifted her eyes to his, and he fell into them. She had such beautiful eyes, like the sunset warning the land of the darkness soon to come. He saw her lips part. He heard the wanting, whimpering sound that escaped from her throat. And he bent his head and kissed her. Her lips were soft and smooth and willing. But he kept the pressure of his kiss gentle, tender. He slid his hands down to ride her hips as he moved his mouth easily back and forth across hers, letting her get to know the taste of him, the fell of him. He saw her eyelids slide shut, felt her quiver in to his arms.

"Sesshoumaru-ahh" she said as he kissed down her neck.

He smiled when he heard his name from her lips softly. He picked her up and headed towards the spring. She kissed his neck as he used his inhuman speed to get them there. He placed her in the water, and pulled his own clothing off and joined her in the water. She came to stand next to him.

"Are you doing this just so you could make me feel better?" she asked. He chuckled and kissed her again.

"Are you sure you want to this?" he asked.

She nodded as he kissed her neck. "If just for a second I could remember that won't be taken from me, I wouldn't waste anytime getting it" she said.

He was confused on what she meant, but then it made perfect sense. He rubbed his hands on her nipple gently and she moaned. He pushed her down near the grassed area, as her breast rose up. He kissed in between before letting his tongue trace its way back. Rin closed her eyes and just pulled at the grass. He took one already stiff nipple into his mouth.

"Oh gods!" exclaimed Rin.

He began sucking her, nipping her with his teeth, drawing so hard on her erect tip that she thought she could feel it all the way down, between her legs. He sucked in his breath with an audible hiss as she titled her pelvis forward and rubbed her belly against his painfully straining erection.

"You shouldn't do that" he hissed out.

She smirked.

"I don't want to hurt or rush you" he said.

"I'm not made out of porcelain" she nibbled at his neck, her hands spreading fire as she rubbed her palms over his shoulders, his chest.

"To me you are" he said.

"I'm a flesh-and-blood woman, and I've spent the last few months waiting, and aching for you" she said.

With a laughing groan, he snagged his hands in her hair, bringing her head back. Her lips were parted with desire, her eyes dark with love. For him. It was still a wonder to him, that she loved him, that she wanted him. Wanted him with wildness that surprised and delighted him, and loved him with an intensity that awed and humbled him.

"Your like honey" he said in between kisses.

Rin just moaned in response. Rin looked up at him. This had to be a dream, because this couldn't be happening. Sesshoumaru the all too proud Youkai making love to her was something that she can dream up. They clutched at each other, their lips and tongues twining as if they could make themselves one flesh. Her lips were soft and sweet, her mouth hot. He thrust his tongue past her teeth, loving the feel of her, the taste of her, and the little breathy, erotic noises she made deep in her throat as she strained against him. Reaching down, he cupped her buttocks to lift her hard up against him, and she squirmed, rubbing herself against him, and spread his hands over the naked flesh of her bottom.

"Sesshoumaru," she said with a gasp, her warm breath flowing over his mouth.

She lifted one short slim white leg up to curl it around his hips, and he let his hands drift over the bare skin of her thigh, seeking the tender folds at the secret entrance to her body. He touched her, there, and she gasped again and flung her head back, arching against the support of the arms he held braced about her waist.

"Oh, if you only knew how I've ached for your touch," she whispered.

Her skin was so soft there. So soft and hot and sensitive. He moved his fingers, exploring, stroking as he bent his head to lay open mouth against the creamy column of her throat.

"Tell me, " he said, moving his mouth lower, to where the upper curves of her full breast was. "tell me what you want."

She bracketed his face with her hands. "You. I want you."

He raised his head and looked down at her. Her lips were parted, and swollen from his kisses, her eyes wide and dewy with passion, her hair a fountain of nightfall. "Ah, Rin. I've wanted you so much" He let her legs slide.

She laughed with joy. "Say it again."

"I want you" He braced himself above her on one outstretched arm, and for a long moment, they lay still, simply gazing into each other's eyes. "Your beautiful," he said on an awed expulsion of breath as he lowered himself beside her.

He let one hand rove over the pale mounds of her breast, then leaned forward, using his tongue to draw a slow circle around a dark nipple before sucking it into his mouth. Her head tipped back and her eyes squeezed shut. Her lips parting in a soft cry of pleasure. He made love to her breast, first one, then the other. he explored her body with his nibbling at her throat, her chin, kissing her eyelids, her breast again, then lower, across her belly and down. He felt her fingers tangle in his hair, her hips bucking up as he moved between her thighs. "I want you," he said, letting his hot breath wash over her wet flesh.

"I want you, I want you" he said again and again. "I want you…"

She writhed beneath the touch of his tongue and fingers, made small keening sounds of yearning that aroused him almost beyond bearing. Then he felt the tremors start, deep within her. Felt her hands clutch at his shoulders, trying to draw him up to her.

"Now," she said, her head lifting off the pillow of grass, her gaze meeting his. "please!"

He eased himself up the length of her slim body, trying to be careful, but she rose up to meet him eagerly, her mouth seeking his, clinging to him as if she were starving for him. A powerful animal desire roared through his blood: a primitive, wholly masculine urge to posses her, to join his body to hers and make her his forever. "Yes," the word a harsh gaps as he felt her open her thighs beneath him, her hand reaching down to guide him. He clenched his buttocks and thrust his hips forward, pressed his hot, hard flesh against her yielding entrance pressed, pressed, until he finally eased himself fully inside her. He groaned and lay still for a moment, feeling his body stretching her, filling her. She was so hot and wet and tight around him. He stood still just to give her some time to get to know him. He drew himself part way out of her slowly, the thrust in again, and she arched her back and sighed.

"You won't believe how much I wanted you" her breath was warm against his neck, her hands spread against his naked chest.

He meant to be gentle, to keep the rhythm easy, but his desire for her roared through him, sucking him out of control. "I'm sorry," he said, bracing himself on his outstretched arms so he could watch her face as he spread in to her, again and again, harder, and harder. "I've wanted you so much."

She stared up at him, her eyes widen and glazed with passion, her skin damp and flushed, her hands clutching his sweat-slicked upper arms as her wrapped her legs around his hips and drew him in, deeper and deeper, faster and faster. He bent his head, his mouth capturing hers for a long, hot, sucking kiss. Then he felt her nails dig into his shoulders and she flung her head back, her teeth sinking down on her lower lip to keep herself from screaming. He felt the tremors start deep within her again, so powerful and clenching that it pulled him over the brink onto a climax so shattering, he thought for one endless, rapturous moment that he had died and found Eden, and that it was an everlasting ecstasy.

She looked up at him, whispering "Thank you for making me feel better."

He looked down at her breathing hard as she was, and smiled. "Pleasure."

She pulled him close and just held him, "You have to promise me something."

He nodded as he kissed her shoulders urging her to continue on with what she wanted him to promise her, of course he would think it over, after being with her he had an obligation he wasn't going to leave her with the possibility that she might become impregnated with a pup. Half-breed child some how it didn't seem all that strange.

"If anything ever happens please live, I can't have any more people die because of me, I have missed you every second I wasn't with you, but I want you to live rather then I being selfish." She said as she placed her head on his shoulder. "I can't lose you too, then my heart will leave me forever."

He looked down at her and kissed her quickly and said, "You can not push me away any longer, I am here and nothing will change that."

She hugged him tighter, 'I'm sorry Sesshoumaru but I must do this alone, this is a journey for one, not many.'

He pulled her up and brought her in to the water and they just held each other wrapped in a world all their own, and not even those around them could break them away. They had made a promise of life at least for that moment away.
