Chapter 10- Heated Seduction

~

~

Lana awoke with a smile on her face. Her eyes still closed as she took in a breath. She moved her hand around beside her to feel for any signs of another body next to her. Nothing. A sigh of relief came over her. "It was just a dream." she breathed aloud. 'I'm in my own bed not Sesshomaru's. It was all just a dream. Kagome never died.' "And I never became bound to that bastard." she had said that last thought out loud.

"Last I recalled it was my half-breed brother that was the bastard." answered a voice that made Lana's eyes pop open in fright.

"You?" she screamed as she quickly sat up, holding the bed sheets in her hands.

A fully dressed, and amused, Sesshomaru watched his future mate try to contemplate where exactly she was. "You were expecting someone else I presume," he mocked her. He was fixing his armor as he made his way back to the huge bed. He frowned when Lana tried to move away from him. "Surely you haven't forgotten that quickly where your new home is."

She eyed him angrily as she got out the bed. "Just wishful thinking I suppose," she murmured. She walked over to the closet where all her things had been put. 'Let's see now. My toothbrush, some underwear, shampoo, and soap.' After taking out all of the things that she needed, Lana walked towards the door.

"Where are you going?" asked the demon lord as he eyed all the strange items that Lana held in her hand.

"Well if you don't mind I would like to go shower," she spat bitterly, never even turning around to face him.

Sesshomaru, meanwhile, was trying to figure out what a shower was. "What exactly is a shower?"

Lana stopped for second and remembered where she was. The Stone Age. "Sorry, I meant a bath."

Sesshomaru looked at her strangely. "Very well then." He realized when she left that she had forgotten to bring her kimono as well. He felt that she would need it and decided to be the one to bring it to her.

Lana made her way down the hall and towards the springs that Kimiko had told her about the day before. As she approached the private springs she was greeted by two of the other female servants who opened the set of doors leading to the baths. Before Lana's eyes was the biggest hot spring she had ever seen. It was the size of a small lake and in its center was a huge rock with small waterfalls poring down. She was quite impressed.

She removed her nightdress and placed her bath products near the edge of the water. "Aah." she sighed as the hot water touched her skin and she made her way into the water. Taking some shampoo into her hand, she began to wash her hair. "This feels so good." she moaned. When she finished she dipped into the water to rinse her hair. When she came back up, she reached for a towel to clean her face.(A/N: she couldn't see b/c of the water) When she felt for the towel it wasn't there. "What the?" Suddenly, she felt the towel brush against her arm. She panicked and quickly grabbed the towel, drying her face. Lana gasped with the most horrified look on her face.

Before her exposed body stood the demon lord with the most smug expression. Lana was speechless. She couldn't even utter a word of anger. "You...y- you..." was all she could say. The attempt to cover herself didn't even come to mind. They both just stood there for a good minute, staring at each other.

Sesshomaru was the one to break the silence. "Forgive me for frightening you, but I thought that you would need this." He handed out a pale, pink kimono with red rose petals scattered about it.

Lana's eyes blinked for a moment as she returned to earth. "Oh my...I forgot to bring it. Th-thanks...Sesshomaru." A tint of pink crept a cross her face as she was embarrassed for being so stupid.

Sesshomaru looked at her lustfully. His eyes roaming all across her body. He may have not seen her last night, but he was seeing all of her at this particular moment. "No, the pleasure is all mine," he said huskily, licking his lips to express just how pleasurable his deed was.

Lana noticed his look and remembered that she was completely nude and in his presence. She quickly submerged into the water and covered her breasts with her arms. "Okay, I won't yell at you for bringing me the clothes, but if you think that I'm going to let you stare at my body you can forget it." she said angrily.

He closed his eyes and smirked. "When will you accept the fact that you belong to me now. That means your body as well." He kneeled down to the waters edge to get closer to her face. "Don't you know that very, very soon I will doing more than just looking at your nude form Lana." She did nothing but send him an angry glare. "Hurry and get dressed. Breakfast should be prepared now," he said as he walked towards the exit and stopped as he was face to face with the door. "Lana, you are too beautiful to cover yourself up like that. I wish for you to never try and cover yourself in my presence again." he said finally and then left Lana standing dumbfounded in the hot spring, that just seemed to get a little hotter.

"What the hell? Was he nice to for a second and then back to his cocky self and then nice again? I-I don't know why I even care anymore what he does around me." she said to herself as she got out of the water and got dressed.

When Lana came to the dining room, she only saw Sesshomaru and his little toad servant Jaken. "Where's Rin and Kimiko?" she asked, making her way to a seat before moving to another because a growl that seemed to come due to how far the first chair was. She sat beside Sessomaru and almost instantly a plate with the day's breakfast was set before her.

"They have already eaten," he answered. "I have to go run some errands today. I won't be returning until nightfall," he said as he held up his cup for a refill of juice. A servant quickly came to do as he gestured.

Lana eyed him for a moment before taking a sip of her own juice. "And why would I care exactly?"

He smirked at her pursued insolence and decided to show her, her place in his home, as his mate. "You would care to know that while I am away, you will not be allowed to leave the castle grounds, my dear," he held back the urge to chuckle when she began choking on her juice at his comment. "Jaken, please help Lana regain her breath," he ordered.

"Aye milord," Jaken said reluctantly.

"Don't fucking...*cough*...touch me you disgusting..*cough*...piece of shit!" Lana pounded on her chest and ceased her choking. She took in a deep breath followed by a glare in Sesshomaru's direction. "You mean I have to stay locked up in this...this prison all fucking day!" Waves of her anger seemed to be radiating from her as she yelled at the top of her lungs while standing up.

"I believe there was no mistake in what I said," he answered sternly. "Unless I give you consent to do so you will not be allowed to leave home."

"This place is not my home! It will never be my home even if it becomes my grave!" Her face showed all of her anger, but her eyes showed all of her pain and sadness. She hopelessly sat back down in her seat. "You won't even allow me to see my friends? You'll keep me alone, all to yourself?" her voice was filled with her sadness that even he, the known to be cold- hearted Sesshomaru, could not ignore.

He looked at her, wanting nothing more than to comfort her and tell her that he'd change his mind and decided to allow her to visit her friends. But he couldn't. He was on a mission to make her his as quickly, but as gently as possible. It would be like taking two steps backward to give in and let her be the one in charge. No. She would learn her place. If she wanted to leave the castle to see her friends, she would have to earn it. "As long as we are courting, you are not allowed to leave this place. Maybe when we are mated I will give you permission to do so." She looked at him in disbelief. "And why exactly would it make a difference if we are mated or not?"

"Because then you and I would be bound together and no matter how far you travel, or run away from me...I will always be able to find you." His answer was concise and dead serious.

Lana narrowed her eyes at him. "So what are we waiting for?" she seductively. "Why not get it done with? Why not throw me onto your bed and fuck me wild? Why don't you make me come? Isn't it what you wanted to do in the first place? Me begging for your touch, or writhing beneath you as you mount me hard and fast?" She watched as it was he who was now choking on his drink. She found it quite hilarious, but held back her laughter. Jaken, meanwhile, was too shocked by her bluntness to even offer his lord a pat on the back.

Lana got up, satisfied with herself. She walked towards the door leading out of the room. "You surprise me you know that. I thought even you would know that know matter how nice you were to me it wouldn't change my feeling towards you. Even though I do find you attractive enough and I don't doubt that you good in bed, you will never make me love you. I 'd have to like you first."she said as she left him hard and speechless.

What the hell just occurred here? That was what Sesshomaru asked himself. He was hard as rock. His demon instincts were screaming at him to chase here down and do just what he asked her to. But he knew that was exactly what she had wanted. To have him force himself on her so that it would make it easier for her to resent him. He wouldn't play her game. He had his own and he wouldn't let her gain control of his game. He would seduce her. Give her a taste of what he could give her. He would make her beg.

He struggled to get up at first but still managed. He was glad that he had to leave. He didn't think it was possible to stay here all day and not mate with her. As he walked through the halls to the entrance he vowed that by the next rise and fall of the sun, she would be his...and it would be all her fault.

~

Lana was walking through the garden, trying to think what the hell she had just done. She was surprised that he had left so calmly, although she knew he wasn't that calm as she could see just how much he had wanted to do what she was enticing him to do. She was also relieved. She was afraid that she was actually growing to enjoy his company. He was, impressively persistent. He would not back down and she actually found that attractive. An image of her and him engaging intimacy suddenly popped into her head. "Whoa! I shouldn't even have that thought in my head," she said as she placed a hand on her forehead. She suddenly felt hotter just like when she was in the hot spring. "What the hell is wrong with me?" she asked herself as she adjusted her kimono to allow some cool air to relieve her heated body.

A few minutes later Kimiko appeared behind her. "Lana? What is wrong? You seem a bit ill?

"It's nothing. I'm just not understanding why I'm so hot. I mean, it's so cool out here and I'm sweating like it's summer."

Kimiko smiled at Lana. "Well it's understandable why you feel hot. You have just begun you stage of heat." (A/N: Kimiko is a demon so she can sense it. Sorry for not writing it before.)

Lana looked at her in confusion. "I can't be in heat. That's so animalistic."

"All creatures go into heat, Lana, human or demon. It's just that for demons it's more intense. We go through motions and our bodies ache, especially when we are not pure. We tend to...desire the touch of a male demon, mating helps to relieve the pain and the heat until the cycle is over," Kimiko replied.

A surge of worry overcame Lana as she thought of herself giving in to Sesshomaru when it was time for bed. No wonder she didn't know what was happening. She had never been in her demon form when in...heat. "Dammit! What am I going to do?" she screamed.

"Lana!" a little voice called out from within the castle. Rin soon came running out towards Lana. "Rin missed you this morning," the little girl said cheerfully. "Can Lana come play with Rin now?"

"I don't feel so well right now Rin." Lana groaned.

Rin pouted and made a puupy dog face. "Aww, ppwweeasse?"

Lana couldn't say no. "Oh alright. But only for a little while okay?"

"Yeah!" Rin shouted cheerfully as she skipped back into the castle.

Lana followed her she thought about how she was going to survive tonight. 'Maybe if I transform?' she thought, 'yes that's it!' Since he wasn't here, she could transform and then the heat wouldn't be so bad. So she transformed and remained that way for the rest of the day.

~

It was nightfall already, and Lana was having an anxiety attack. Her knees shook and her legs fidgeted nervously as she overlooked the horizon on the balcony of her room. By transforming into her human form she had gotten rid of the urges she felt due to her heat, but now she was worried of what she would do afterwards when Sesshomaru would come home and command her to change back. She had been mumbling that same thing all day. "What am I going to do? What am I going to–." She decided to hurry up and change into her night clothes and go to bed before he returned. But it was too late.

By the time she pulled on her nightdress the door clicked open and Lana slowly turned around to meet the gaze of the demon lord. The dress wasn't full down and her pink laced panties were exposed, giving the demon lord a clear view of her ass. "Sesshomaru...h-how was your trip?" she asked nervously, quickly pulling down the rest of the dress. She didn't give a damn about where he went she just wanted to see if he would let her stay in her human form if she pretended to show affections towards him. She decided to give it a try and say something that would catch him of guard. "I-I missed you...Sesshomaru," she said, just low enough for him to hear. It was half a lie, but half the truth? Did she actually miss him? She couldn't explain why but she missed his company for some reason.

Sesshomaru stood at the door way, a bit taken back by her comment. She had missed him? He walked over to the balcony where she was. A part of him sensed it as a distraction, but it seemed to have some truth to it when he heard her voice the words. Watching her smile at him and he instinctively pulled her into a tight embrace, stroking the back of her long...brown hair?

Lana let out a sigh of relief as she let Sesshomaru embrace her. 'Maybe he won't say anything,' she though. "Lana," she heard him speak. "Yes Sesshomaru?"

"Why are you not in your demon form?" he asked as he pulled her away from him. "I do recall telling you that it is dangerous right now for you to be in this form." he said sternly, his eyes burning holes through her own, yet his expression was some what soft.

"I know but...I...I'm sorry I'll change back." The only reason why she didn't argue with him was because she didn't want to tell him that she was in heat. She kind of knew that he could smell for himself, but bringing up the issue up front would be to awkward for her. Her claws and fangs soon reappeared and she was once again in her demon form.

He was pleased with her decision not to dispute with him. "Very good my dear." His hand gently caressing her cheek. "Now I must do some studying in the library. You may turn in for the night if you wish and I will be in later." She nodded and he brought down his face to hers and pursued to kiss her gently but she stopped him.

"Please, I'm tired and I don't want you to get excited and decide to test your limits with me." She sent him a glare and proceeded to the bed. When she placed the covers over her head, she heard low mumbling of curses and then the slamming of the door. "What will I do?" she asked herself before falling asleep.

~

Sesshomaru walked to his library with a smirk plastered along his face. He had known the exact reason why Lana was in her human form. The scent was so strong that he could smell it as soon as he entered hi castle. Even in her human form, he desired to throw her onto the bed and make love to her. But he controlled himself. He needed to wait until it was so bad for her that seducing her would be like sinking his claws into a demon, which was an easy task for him, The Great Demon Lord of the Western Lands. 'Tomorrow,' he thought, 'she will be mine.' It was a promise to himself that he would not let stall any longer.

A/N: should I stop here? Hmm...I guess you deserve more. And me thinks you will like this a little. *wink, wink*

~

Lana's eyes opened slowly. She made a low growl at the sounds of birds chirping letting her know it was morning already. She rolled over to avoid the sun's rays, but suddenly gasped when she saw a familiar face right in front of her. Fortunately, he was asleep. Or was he?

' Damn, and I'm still in heat,' she remembered. She sighed and then found herself studying his flawless features. His silky, silver hair. The blue crescent moon that rested in the center of his forehead. She continued to notice how extremely attractive he was all the way down to his mouth. His soft and gentle, yet hungry and demanding lips as they were placed on hers. She had remembered the way he made her give in to his kiss. Twice. And although she would never admit it to him, she actually wanted to him to make her feel that way again.

'Oh my...dammit!' she cursed herself. She was thinking that way about him again. But why? It was true that he was cute...alright drop dead gorgeous, but it didn't mean that she should think about him in that way. Not after what he did. 'But still...' She realized that avoiding her attraction to him wouldn't change the fact that they had to mate with each other sooner or later. So why not get it done with?

She was pulled out of her thoughts when she realized that a pair of golden eyes were staring right back at her. Lana quickly tried to sit up but to no avail. "What the hell?" she whispered , looking down to see what was keeping her from getting up. What was keeping her pinned to the bed was his arm wrapped tightly around her waist. The same arm that she herself had restored for him. "Sesshomaru." her voice was both pleading and low with a warning. He simply ignored the tone in her voice and moved her closer to him until they were only a breath apart from each other's faces.

Her breaths were quickened as her body temperature suddenly began to rise. Both in anger and arousal. The bastard had turned her on. His aggressive behavior was actual getting her to become aroused and she knew it. Unfortunately, he knew it too. "Lana..." he said in the most seductive voice possible that just lit her on fire.

"What the hell!? If you don't mind I would like to get up and take a show...I mean bath!" she screamed desperately. She never felt like this before. Not with someone she barely knew. Sure she sometimes found herself in bed with a guy she'd met at a club the night before, but only cause she was too drunk and stupid to resist a sexy guy. (She's not a whore!) But in this case....

He sat up and moved on top of her, pinning her arms between his chest and hers. "Stop that!" he growled at her, barring his fangs. Taken by surprise of his outburst she stopped screaming at him. Sesshomaru looked down at his soon-to-be mate with lustful eyes. He noticed their current position and regretted what he had done. He noticed her scent of arousal before and now found himself in the same predicament as well as his long, thick manhood began to respond.

Lana was upset at herself for shutting up when he told her to. 'Just who does he think he is ordering me to shut up like I'm some bitch dog he can command. I'll...' She glared at him wide-eyed as she felt him, or rather it. "Sesshomaru. I think it's best if you got up now," she asked him calmly. Her stubbornness wasn't an issue anymore. Now she just wanted him to get off of her. She didn't care that she had to ask him for him to do it. When he made no attempt to get off of her, her patience had begun to run dry. Her eyebrows furrowed together as she made another low growl at him. "Sesshomaru," this time her tone more firm.

Sesshomaru just stared at her face. To him it was a work of art, only deserving of him. He saw her lick her lips in her growing annoyance and he wanted nothing more than to assist her in moistening them. He growled at himself for being hesitant. Why should he be? The memory of last night when she had refused his kiss had made him angry. He should have showed her, her place. She was his and so was her body. He did say he would wait a while before taking her, but her mouth was his to ravish whenever he pleased. And he did just that.

He lowered his head slowly and claimed her mouth gently, at first. Desperately trying to get her to open her mouth with his tongue. Licking at her bottom lip, begging her to allow him to taste her once again. But she wouldn't comply. That's when he decided to take more drastic measures to get her to obey him. He pressed himself tighter against her body, allowing her to feel every aspect of his true burning desire. All he was asking for was a small, but not so small, kiss. What he really wanted to do he had to hold back with almost all his being. Still, she cut herself off from him. Finally, he moved his hand down and firmly grasped one of her breasts. The sudden action caused her to gasp and her lips parted as she was about to protest his action. With his demonic speed, he quickly plunged his tongue into her mouth. Hungrily tasting every corner, savoring the sweet taste that he had grown to crave since the first time he kissed her. At first she fought. Thrashing her legs and freeing her arms to push him off of her. But her body betrayed her as she too began to relish the flavor of his mouth. She was astonished that he could taste so good even with morning breath. She had forgotten that she wanted him off of her and slowly began to relax. Her legs stopped thrashing and her arms were soon wrapped around his neck as one hand grabbed the back of his head and pulled him deeper into the kiss.

While he noticed that she was fully into kissing him, Sesshomaru seen it as an opportunity to see if he could get things to go further than just a make out session. He knew what her mouth tasted like, now he wanted to know what her most sacred treasure tasted like. With his hand still latched onto her breast, he began to slowly massage the soft mound of flesh. He felt her moan in his mouth, but she didn't pull away. What she did surprised the hell out of him. Lana took his other hand and moved it down to the place where he desired it to be the most. With her own hand, she motioned his hand to do the same to her heated womanhood what he was still doing to her breast. Sesshomaru did not object to her wishes, however, instead of just massaging her there, a better idea came to mind.

He slid his clawed hand up her night dress and stopped at her panties, remembering that she had the material on when he saw her the night before. Instead of possibly ruining the moment by growling in frustration, he simply fisted the cloth in his hand and with a flick of his wrist they were off. His motions were so swift, Lana was completely oblivious to what had just happened, not to mention what was about to happen. Sesshomaru smirked against her mouth as he took two fingers and inserted them into her. The feeling of his intrusion caused Lana to gasp breathlessly, breaking the kiss. "Sessh...Sesshomaru," She was silenced as he once again devoured her mouth. He began to pump in and out, slowly, but hard. Her arms shook wildy and clasped onto his arms, digging into his flesh with her claws as she subconsciously moved her hips upward causing his long, slender fingers to go deeper. He pulled himself from her mouth only so that he could see how he was making her feel. "Lana," he called out her name in a husky voice, "don't you see how I want you. I know you feel the same towards me. Tell me what you want?" Lana's lower lip quivered as she tried to utter the words to say to him. She wanted him to stop, but then she didn't. She wanted to tell him to stop, but she couldn't. "St-stop. I-we...can't. Oh..my...gaaaa!" Her sentenced was interrupted by the feeling of her release.

Sesshomaru retracted his fingers from within her. Lana's face was completely flushed and her breathing was far from normal. Her face was drenched in sweat causing her hair to cling to her face. She was still seeing stars at this point and she couldn't believe it was only because of his fingers. She had the sudden urge to find out what he could with his lonely friend down below. "You taste delectable, my lovely Lana," he moaned as he licked his fingers clean. She wanted more. She couldn't resist any longer. "Take me," she managed to breathe. He didn't care if he had heard right or wrong. Sesshomaru was about to have his prize...that was until there was a nock at the door.
