Chapter 13

On the couch he found a sleeping miko. A book she'd been reading lying in her lap. Her head was leaned back showing the full length of her tender throat. He could see, as well as hear, the steady rhythmic beat of her heart. Her full pink lips were parted ever so slightly. Long black lashes resting on her cheeks. Long trails of raven hair fell around her shoulders and hung fluidly over the back of the couch. Her long delicate legs were bent and tucked to her side. She looked like and angel dreaming of butterflies and fluffy clouds.

He sat down beside her and took a deep breath, allowing her sweet scent to fill his senses. Her tender innocence, combined with ancient wisdom made him respect not only her beauty, but also whom she was underneath. Even now she is trusting and unaware of the danger lurking so very close. She sleeps a deep and cleansing sleep, with no fear, while a demon's breath caresses her creamy flesh. He removed the book, carefully setting it aside.

His mouth just an inch from her exposed throat. Her scent was driving him mad. Her beauty was intoxicating. In seconds he moved over her. His long legs bent gracefully as his knees came to rest in the couch. He hovered just over her, not touching, but so close. He nuzzled his face closer to her neck, allowing her soft hair to fall around his face. When she let out a soft moan, he froze. The sound of it sent a shiver of excitement through the youkai lord. He could hear her heartbeat pick up it's pace just a bit. He knew she could awaken any second from her slumber.

Sesshomaru allowed himself the pleasure of tasting her. His tongue slid slowly, tracing the curve of her throat. She was fully awake now. He opened his mouth and pressed his lips over the rapidly beating pulse on her neck. He could feel her life's blood rushing against his tongue. He awaited her movement. She would surly push him away. He wound his hands through her hair feeling her warm scalp against his claws. She shivered at the touch. Slowly he moved his lips over her exposed neckline, up her cheek, to nibble and tug at the curve of her ear. Another moan slipped past her lips. He could hardly hold back his passion for this creature underneath him. He whispered softly against her hair, "You do things to me, that even I, do not understand."

His words moved her in a way that was a mystery to them both. Her hands moved up to wrap around his neck. His long hair shining silver in the dimly lit room. It fell over her like a blanket of shimmering snow. She pulled her fingers through it, reveling in it softness. He smelled of a fresh winter morning. The electricity of his touch melting her inhibitions. He began a low feral purr. The primitive sound sent waves of heat through the woman. His mouth moved, exploring her body. She arched against him slightly when he nipped at the crevice where her shoulder and throat meet. He nipped again...and again.

The aroma now touching his senses was filled with her lust for him. The scent captured his willpower and locked it away. He released his youkai. Through half open lids she could see his eyes glazing over. She should have been afraid, but she wasn't. It strangely excited her. A little voice called out, warning her of what she was doing. A voice called reason, told her to stop. She closed her ears to the voice. It wasn't very hard to do, with this prince of light and darkness pressing his heated body against her. His mouth tracing fiery paths across her skin.

She was not rejecting him, and he could not stop the flood of need that threatened to consume him. Sesshomaru slipped his hands down to the hem of her dress. He slowly and carefully pulled it up over her head. With the flick of his razor sharp talon, the underthing covering her breasts was gone. The round mounds of flesh bounced when released from their prison. They called out to him for attention. With a claw covering the right he began to knead it. Cupping it, then he released it, only to capture it once more. He gripped the caramel nipple between his fingers, twisting it and pinching it, sending waves of sensations through his little miko. He lowered his head and let his tongue trace a path around the left. He nipped his fangs over the swollen bud there.

Kagome could hardly catch her breath. His mouth was sucking at her breast, while his hair tickled her skin. Her arousal was pounding in her very core. She could barely stand the pain of it. She arched her pelvis against him once more. She felt his left hand move down her side. Tracing the curves of her body. It slid like a snake until it captured its prey. The hand grasped her warm core. She felt as if she would explode. The barrier of her silky panties separating them. Not for long. She heard a rip, and felt the barrier fall away. Then...she felt his claw slide between the folds of her womanhood. She moaned in pleasure as the invading finger began to caress the tiny bulb of flesh hidden there. Again she arched against him.

A growl escaped him when he touched her wet core. The heat of it, so intense, that it almost burned. Her moisture making it easy to discover the opening hidden there. She sucked in a breath as he slipped the long clawed finger deep inside her. He could feel her tighten the muscles around it. He was panting with his lust for her. Biting and licking at the nipple in his mouth, produced a delightful response from her tiny form. She bucked against him, which excited him beyond anything he'd ever known.

He lowered himself from her, making her whimper at the loss of him. Only to scream again in pleasure when he buried his face between her thighs. She tasted so sweet... he groaned with the pleasure of it. Her tiny bulb teasing against his tongue. He flicked it and nipped at it then sucked on it hard. He pressed his tongue against it and began circling it with increased pressure. His miko moaned and screamed out her pleasure. She arched her pelvis to his mouth and entangled her hands in his hair pushing his face further into her wet folds. He pushed his claws into her opening while continuing the assault on her clitoris. Her muscles began to clench and he could feel her release building. His own arousal pushing against it's confinement, longing to be set free. When she reached her climax he reveled in her vivacious orgasm. She bucked her hips and pulled at his hair. Her cries of pleasure filling his ears.

Sesshomaru rose again to hover above her. He wanted to see the look in her eyes when the eruptions inside her subsided. She peeked out through lazy eyelids to return his gaze. He leaned close and took her lips in his. Their tongues danced together with passionate searching. Greedily his mouth moved against hers. He leaned back for only a second to remove his own clothing. Kagome watched as the garments he wore fell to the floor. His body was chiseled to perfection. His muscles rippled with every movement. Her eyes moved to his manhood, taking in the sight of it. He obviously wanted her badly. His large member stood out from its master calling for her velvet warmth.

Kagome sat up and he was unsure of her actions until she placed her hands on his thighs. She pulled him to her, wrapping her hands around his buttocks, then she looked up to the taiyoukai towering above her. She never broke his gaze as she slowly slid her mouth over his erection. His surprise passed quickly and only eagerness for more remained. She began to slide it in and out of her warm cavern, sucking at it, while her tongue traced its length. He groaned and growled as he threw his head back. His hair falling until it touched the floor. The feel of wet velvet caressing and sucking at him until he knew for certain that this vixen was driving him mad.

Sesshomaru stopped her just before he lost control. He reached down and pulled her gently to the floor. He lay on top of her, taking in the warmth of her body. Breathing in her intoxicating aroma. He nuzzled her neck kissing at the tender flesh. Nipping it with his fangs sent a trickle of blood running down. He dipped his head and caught the drop in his mouth, it's sweet flavor sent chills up his spine. He nipped her again to suck at her flesh, playing with the droplets in his mouth. The small prick of pain sent torrents of pleasure through her body. Every nerve in her was screaming for more.

Kagome could feel the velvety hard shaft pressing against her opening. Once more that tiny voice of sanity spoke to her, telling her that this could not be repaired once she allowed him entrance. The foggy sweet feeling that was swimming in her head easily shut out this tiny voice of resistance. She spread her legs to show him her eagerness for fulfillment.

Sesshomaru pressed, gently but firmly, against her maidenhood. He watched her face turn from pleasure to pain. He could smell the fear rising from her. He almost lost control of his humanoid self, as the scent assaulted his nose. By a thread of salvation he managed to hang on to consciousness. He pressed further until he could feel the thin membrane tear. She squealed out with the searing pain, and he froze there waiting. When the look of pain moved from her face he continued his rhythmic dance. Her clenching muscles trying with abandon to capture the length of him as he pumped his erection into her heated core.

The pace became maddening and the sounds of flesh hitting flesh filled the room. A sound unknown to her filled her ears. It was a low guttural sound, which she realized was coming from her own throat. The exquisite pleasure of his assault on her body was almost more than she could bare. His eyes were crimson and hungry as he stared down at her, never removing them from her face. Then with demonic speed he flipped her over onto her belly. She felt his claws lifting her hips up to him and once again he pushed his length into her. He grunted his delight at this new position. Kagome screamed as he began pounding into her soft folds. He ran his claws into her hair, twisting it into his grip, and let out a growl. The pace of his movements sending her places she never new existed.

He could feel her clenching tighter. Her ass pushed against him as she reached her climax. Her scream tore through the air as orgasmic pleasure convulsed her tiny frame. He felt her release and made ready for his own. He roared as the pleasure engulfed him. As his seed shot forth he pulled her to him, sinking his teeth into the crease of her neck. The blood poured into his mouth bringing him to new heights. He drank in the thick fluid loving the sensations it brought.

With their passion spent he collapsed beside her. Nestling her head in the crook of his arm. She looked flushed and pale. A satisfied smile curling her lips as she looked up at him with bedroom eyes of blue. Sesshomaru examined his mark more closely. His youkai had taken more blood than he should. The mate of a youkai was destined to suffer this fate. The ritual needed to be completed. He reached up with a claw and sliced at his neck. A crimson trail poured down his chest. He pulled her mouth up to it, "Drink of me, my koi. It will replenish what you have lost."

Kagome was unsure that this was right. Taking the blood of another was forbidden in these times. To taste the blood of another was absolutely sinful. She searched his eyes and found only patient orbs of amber. 'She trusted him this far hadn't she?' She placed her lips over the wound on his neck. The crimson liquid filled her mouth, almost making her gag. Then it changed. The salty taste began to send a warmth through her stomach moving down to her womanhood. With each swallow a pleasure unknown to any other human washed through her core. She was shocked when the orgasm passed, and looked up into his eyes. The amused smile curving his lips made her blush bright red.

"Wow, what was that all about," Kagome felt things happening inside her body. Noises seemed louder, and colors were brighter. She put her hand to her neck, and jerked her it away. The wound had already closed! She became increasingly aware of a strangely pleasant aroma. Kagome leaned close to Sesshomaru and drew in a deep breath. It was him!

Sesshomaru could see the amazement in her eyes. He watched as her senses heightened one by one. When she caught his scent, he laughed at her reaction. "Do not be afraid, koi, my blood is flowing in your veins. It will bond us as soulmates, prolonging your life. Your own senses are now at a heightened level. By far not what mine are, but more than other humans. My father told me of this reaction, as it intrigued him. You will heal faster, and be less susceptible to disease. The effects are temporary, lasting up to a week... or until we mate again." With the last he allowed a naughty smile to curve his handsome face.

Kagome was awe struck. His blood had changed her? It was amazing. It was like she was seeing the world with a new pair of eyes. She felt better than she could ever remember. This was going to take some getting used to. They spent the next hour discussing her newfound 'power'. Her mind and body were exhausted. Sesshomaru reached up and pulled the quilt from the saucer chair near his feet. He spread it out and pulled it over them. He looked down at his precious little mate. She was already fast asleep, with just a hint of a smile still gracing her face.
