To Fulfill One's Destiny
Chapter 30- Sealing Bonds
She followed him through the winding hallways and through a pair of doors to find herself facing a large bed in an unfamiliar room. Confused, she took in the room until her eyes lighted upon a familiar piece of armor and fur in the corner.
Is this...his room?
She turned sharply, hearing him slide the door shut behind them.
"Sesshomaru, the others..."
"They left soon afterward. It seems they suspected what I thought was so secret."
She watched him cautiously as he approached her, backing up until her knees hit the bed and left her pinned between him and the edge.
"Don't be afraid."
Looking him straight in the eye, she felt herself relax and she nodded.
Pulling her close, he pressed his lips against her own, realizing for the first time that he'd been waiting forever to do so. They moved closer, clutching each other tightly.
His tongue begged entrance, and she parted her lips to allow him access.
Once they had ceased exploring each other's mouths, he kissed her chin and moved down her neck, whispering in-between biting kisses.
"This is- how we seal- our mating- bonds."
Pulling her obi loose, he slowly shifted her kimono to give him access to the juncture where her shoulder met her throat.
If she trusts me...completely and totally...
Focusing his heated kisses on that one spot, he could feel the blood rise under the skin.
As gently as he could, he bit down, licking the blood from the small wound.
She'd clutched his haori in her pain and cried out in surprise, but relaxed when he began to lick the wound.
He raised his head, and undid his belt to shift his haori top, exposing the same juncture where shoulder met throat.
"To seal the bond."
She gave him a look.
"I don't believe my teeth are as half as sharp as your own."
He gave her one of his rare smiles.
"I know, you just have to bite harder."
She pulled him close and licked her lips in apprehension and nervousness.
"Bite down as hard as you need to."
She gave a soft kiss to the spot as though marking it, and then bit down hard.
A moment later, she was licking the blood from his wound as he'd done to hers.
Pulling her chin to face him, he smiled again in amusement, rubbing the injured area in mock pain..
"Are you sure you're not mad at me for something else?"
Blushing, she leaned in and gave him a sweet and lingering kiss.
"If I was, I think I've forgotten."
