Chapter 16 First Night

Story Start:

It seemed that despite Sesshomaru's intentions to keep their wedding small, the entire village had decided to celebrate their marriage. From where she sat she could hear the small town had erupted into celebration and smiled.

"You know why they're celebrating, don't you?" she whispered as she leaned into Sesshomaru.

"Our marriage, I suppose" he answered, but he didn't bother to try and hide his words as his eyes watched over his guests who were eating and talking amongst themselves.

"Nope. They are happy a young maiden has sacrificed herself to their demon lord and it wasn't one of their own."

She couldn't help but giggle as he shot her an irritated glance.

"Don't glare at me. You know it's true for some of them."

He simply looked away and watched the crowd again, and she knew then that she was right. It seemed that a few of the villagers were still wary of their lord despite all he had done for them and that honestly upset Takara, but then again; no one would ever know Sesshomaru like she did.

It hadn't been long before Sesshomaru's mother excused herself. She had pulled Sesshomaru away for a private word, to which he came back from indifferent, so Takara guessed whatever she had said hadn't consisted of threats or a scolding. With that his mother bid them both farewell and left in the company of her demon guards.

"If you don't mind my asking, what did she say to you?" Takara asked watching the graceful she demon leave.

"She approves of you, despite being mortal." He glanced her way and she could see that subtle hint of adoration in his amber eyes. "When she arrived, I explained your abilities to her so she now sees you as more than a mere human, but she needed to speak with you herself." His eyes roamed over her new kimono. "I don't know what you said to her, but it must have impressed her. My father gave her that kimono."

Takara gawked at him, but before she could speak he added. "Do not worry. She was honored that you would wear it the day of our wedding."

She gave him a sheepish grin and he leaned down closer to her, "She also threatened to disown me if we do not soon provide her with grandchildren to spoil and indulge."

There went her poor heart again.

"And you told her that it would be a while before that happened right?"

"You wish my mother to disown me?"

"Would she?"

"Without hesitation"

Takara sighed as a flush crept onto her cheeks, a glance out the corner of her eye told her that Kagome and InuYasha were watching her very closely. She could only suspect that the two of them were imagining what Sesshomaru was speaking to her so softly about. The fact that her friends were imagining Sesshomaru saying dirty things to her brought a more immediate matter to her attention.

"Well if you want to start practicing anytime tonight, this mansion better be empty of everyone else before you expect to get me into bed."

A simple "hnn" was the only response she got. Takara wasn't too sure that he took her seriously, but as the evening began to wind down, the festival in the village also began to disperse. While Takara spoke with Kagome, Sango and Rin, Sesshomaru was speaking to the village elders, InuYasha and Miroku and she wondered what he was telling them. It didn't seem fair that he could hear every word that she and the women had, but she was unable to do the same.

Kagome seemed to have a solution to that and pulled her much further away from the crowd, back to the waterfall. "Sesshomaru will have a hard time hearing over the water" she explained, leaning in to speak into her ear. "I just thought I might give you some… pointers…"

"Kagome, can we please not have this conversation? I'm already about to have a panic attack."

"I know, it's embarrassing for me too, but with him being a demon and InuYasha being half demon, I thought it might help you understand his behavior… during that time."

Takara sighed. She did have a point. "Alright, but please don't get too graphic with the details."

"First off there's the growling, but I'm pretty sure you know about that." When Takara nodded, she continued. "Well, if he becomes overly excited, his inner demon will probably show itself a bit. Even with InuYasha being a half demon, when it gets…." She paused when Takara shot her a small glare "… intense… his will show. When it does, whatever you do, do not challenge him in any way; don't hold eye contact, don't disobey him if he tells you to do something, nothing of that sort. If he gets in that mindset, submit." Kagome shrugged at Takara's wary glance. "He won't hurt you, but he will torment you until you do submit, although Sesshomaru probably has more control over his inner demon." Takara nodded, after all it made more sense that he would. "I think the last pointer I should give you is the biting." Takara raised her brows. She didn't mind Sesshomaru's little nips, but biting? That was an entirely different matter.

"When he… I'm sorry… for lack of a better word… when he mounts you for the first time, he'll bite you, probably on the shoulder. Don't look at me like that!" Takara wasn't sure if the blood wanted to rush to her face in a furious blush or drain from it at the thought of Sesshomaru's fangs sinking into her shoulder. "The bite is a demon's way of marking their mate, like rings in our time. It tells other demons that you're his and his alone. He might bite that same place in the future when you mate, but trust me…" Kagome shivered at her own thoughts. "It's an amazing sensation, but you'll find out later. Here he comes and don't look so worried." She placed her hands on Takara's upper arms and pulled her in for a hug. "Just remember, you know he would never hurt you intentionally. The only thing you need to worry about for pain involved with him are your first few couplings, the bite, and any children you might have." When Kagome pulled away, Takara eased with the sincerity in her eyes. "He might be different from his brother in most ways, but if for nothing more than the dog demon in them, they are very caring mates."

With those words of encouragement, Kagome turned and headed over to where InuYasha waited, but paused halfway and turned back. "I guess this means we're sisters now!" she shouted, laughing when both Sesshomaru and InuYasha shot her dirty looks. It seemed that the two of them still didn't see eye to eye on that matter at least. With that she watched them round the mansion, leaving her alone with her… would she ever get used to the word… husband.

"We shall retire for the evening," he told her, pulling her against him, his arm wrapping around her lower back while the other tilted her chin up to capture her lips in a kiss. "Go to your rooms." Sesshomaru told her softly. "There are two women waiting to help you out of your kimono. When you are ready, come to my chambers."

With a nod, Takara did as he said, but paused half way to the mansion and faced him with a smile on her face. "What if I'm not ready until tomorrow?" Her response was an angry glare and a slight barring of fangs. He didn't need to speak. Takara was crystal clear on how he felt about that and with a laugh finally made her way into the mansion.

Just as Sesshomaru had said, there were two servant women waiting to help her out of her kimono and into her yukata.

Takara didn't know how long she sat in the silence of her room with only her thoughts. This is it… she thought with a sigh. After tonight there's no going back… She didn't care about her possessions back in her time, the goals she had set, the ideal life she had planned- none of that mattered to her now. It was her family and friends that mattered. She had told herself time and again that so long as she was happy, her family would be as well, but was that truly the case? Would they disapprove of Sesshomaru despite how she felt?

She decided. It didn't matter.

It was her life either way, and while she would have preferred to have their well wishes, she didn't need them. All she needed was the demon she had married; the demon currently waiting for her. Despite her nervousness, she was confident that if she chickened out tonight, her new husband would do one of two things; wait until she was ready or… convince her. Once she thought on that she decided to toss out the first option. Sesshomaru could be very persuasive.

She had been given a room a few away from Sesshomaru. Ayako had told her that she would stay there when Sesshomaru needed time to himself, male visitors to entertain, or something of that nature, but after asking Sesshomaru his opinion on the matter he informed her that was the typical custom for this era. However, he also informed her that she would very rarely make use of that room, if at all. He made it very clear that she belonged in his bed, and that was where she would be.

Night had fallen over the mansion and only the sounds of the waterfall and the night insects broke the silence of night. It seemed that even the village had fallen silent to give Sesshomaru and herself privacy. A few candles lit the hall as she walked to Sesshomaru's room and slid the door open softly to find him in his typical spot with the outer screen door open starring out to the waterfall, his back to her.

His calm aura affected her too and she smiled softly as she went to sit beside him, resting her head on his shoulder. He moved then, pulling her into his lap, leaning her head against his shoulder once more.

"What kept you?" he asked finally looking down to her, but she didn't meet his eyes.

"I'm just a little nervous and I sort of had to put things into perspective." She answered in a soft voice.

"What kind of perspective?"

Takara shrugged "There's no going back now, not that I would, but I just miss my family. That's all."

Sesshomaru was silent for a moment before he stood effortlessly with her in his arms, and headed back into the room, lying her down on the futon and coming down over her, his larger body covering her. "You now belong here with me." He told her, his face pressed against the soft flesh of her throat. "Perhaps once you have had a few of my pups, you will be too busy with our family to be sad over your old one."

In that moment, Takara couldn't help but fall further in love with him, smiling as she gently moved him to face her. "That's a good plan." With that, Sesshomaru leaned in to kiss her and she responded with unbridled passion. She knew she had made the right choice.

Gentle coaxing slowly blossomed into a heated battle of wills as they each sought to dominate the kiss, but before too long Takara surrendered to him and he rewarded her with a series of kisses, licks, and gentle bites down the column of her throat until he paused at the barrier of her yukata.

She heard the crack of his claws lengthening a moment before a brief tug was felt at her midsection and his rough, callused hand was gliding across the flesh of her abdomen, parting the folds of her yukata exposing her heated flesh to the cool night air.

His amber eyes finally left her blue ones as his gaze roamed over her naked body and a soft growl escaped him. "Beautiful" his voice was tinged with a soft growl as he leaned down and captured the stiff peak of her breast in his hot mouth.

Takara gasped at the sensation, gripping his head, her fingers tangled in the silver strands desperately attempt him to keep him where he was.

Her soft moans were music to his ears.

Sesshomaru couldn't help but growl at the sweet taste of her soft flesh, the sound of her soft moans and sighs, the feel of her blunt nails dragging lightly across his scalp. By the gods, she was everything he knew she would be. Her innocent and open expressions were not hidden out of embarrassment like Kimiko's had been. No Takara would never be her and in that moment he realized that he could not continue to compare the two of them. What had excited his first mate wouldn't necessarily please his current one.

He looked forward to learning the secrets of her body. I wonder…

Sesshomaru didn't remain latched to her breasts for long. While he had sucked and licked one, he had brought a hand up to massage the other, switching between them a few times- each pull of his mouth, sent an agonizingly sweet pull to her core.

Takara moved under him, pulling her knees tightly together as she sought to alleviate the strange sensation that had begun throb at the apex of her thighs and she could feel a slickness beginning to dampen her inner thighs. As Sesshomaru lavished her breast with attention, she could feel the wetness begin to drip down her thighs like honey and she wasn't too sure if she wanted him to stop or not.

Then he began to descend lower, his fangs raking down her skin every few inches as he continued to torment her with his wicked mouth. Finally he looked up and met her eyes briefly before he looked down and finally unfolded the lower half of her yukata, exposing her to him from the hips down now leaving her bare, all but her arms still in the sleeves of her robe.

One of his hands, claws now retracted, slipped between her thighs, the smooth flesh rubbing deliciously against his sword roughened hands. His rough hand slipped higher, parting her legs further, cupping her sex in his large hand. Her breaths quickened as his other hand grabbed a knee pushed it higher and opened it even wider before telling her to position her other leg as such. A flush continued to stain her cheeks as his hungry gaze locked onto her completely exposed, untouched sex as he licked his lips in anticipation

She wanted to protest in embarrassment as he settled his large body between her legs, gently shifting them to rest on his shoulders, but all she could manage to do was bring her hand to her mouth and bite down nervously on a knuckle. Takara's face burned red in embarrassment as his hot breath fanned her exposed sex and she trembled.

"Relax, my treasure." He told her as he gently bit her inner thigh. "You will enjoy this."

Before she could question him, his tongue had delved between the slick folds of her sex and across her clit, lapping at her feminine honey. A loud moan couldn't be contained as Sesshomaru continued to assault her sex with his mouth, lips, tongue and fangs- all of them used to bring her a pleasure she had never known. Takara was in sensation overload in a matter of seconds. It was as if he knew exactly where to lick her, where to slide his fangs across, and when to do it all to bring her the greatest pleasure she had ever felt.

She gasped when she felt his hands come up and spread the lips of her sex further open before she felt his tongue delve into her core, seeking more of her nectar. The hand that had been trapped in her mouth to quiet her was released and moved to grip the bedding while the other tangled in Sesshomaru's silvery white hair, pulling his head tighter against her sex as she pressed her lower body closer to his wicked mouth.

"Sesshomaru…" she beseeched him as he paused his attention and looked up to her watching her body arch and write with pleasure, so innocent and open. He smirked nuzzled his face against her sex, inhaling her aroused scent. He smirked when he heard her whimper and felt a slight tug on his hair. The blood began rushing to his cock even faster once she looked down to him, her soft blue eyes darkened with pleasure. "Have you ever pleasured yourself?" he asked kissing her inner thigh. Had her face not already been flushed in passion, Sesshomaru felt that it would have stained red as she lowered her eyes.

"No" was her soft answer.

He cocked his head to the side. "Why not? You seem to enjoy this." Her shoulders shrugged. "I lived with my dad and my older brothers, and being the only girl in the house… Let's just say my brothers have no concept of privacy. I had to get changed in a different room with a locked door just so they didn't barge in so…" She trailed off and Sesshomaru understood. She never had the privacy that human women needed to discover their sexuality. Now it was his responsibility as her mate to help her discover her sexuality, what brings her the greatest pleasure, and understand what it means to be a mate.

"I shall teach you, my treasure. I shall help you discover what you need for pleasure only I may give to you." He growled. He would be the only one she sought pleasure with.

"I don't want anyone else, Sesshomaru" she breathed, yelping when he bit her thigh harder.

"This includes you as well. You shall not seek to pleasure yourself once we mate. My mate will never have the need to reduce herself to self-pleasure." Before she could respond, he dipped his head back between her thighs, sucking her pleasure bud between her lips to hold it captive to his attention as a finger sought to tease her entrance. Again his name left her lips in a cry as a single digit entered her virgin depths, feeling her slick, tight walls quivering in time with the pulls of his mouth.

Her legs moved and her heels dug into his upper back just below his shoulder blades. Her thighs tightened against his head, tightly squeezing it as her hips began to grind against his face, but a strong hand pushed her down to the futon, preventing her from moving. Turning his hand, the finger inside her tightened passage searched until he found the rough, nerve covered spot amidst her silken walls and assaulted it relentlessly.

Sesshomaru held her at his mercy, her hips practically pinned to the futon with the iron grip of his arm, his lips sucking her delicate pearl, and his rough fingertip rubbing that spot inside her sent Takara into a sensory overload, the coiling sensation she had felt tightening and tightening finally snapped, dumping her into an abyss of ecstasy as she achieved her climax.

As her sex tightened around Sesshomaru's finger, she felt him force another into her massaging passage, heightening the sensation even further.

As she panted, recovering from her climax, Takara looked down between her thighs to find Sesshomaru watching her; his eyes beginning to glow a deadly red around their rim. Gently but quickly he moved her thighs from his shoulders and sat up, removing his fingers from her quacking depths before licking them clean of her fluids. There was something about the way he looked at her with his predatory gaze, her first climax already sacrificed to his fiendish mouth.

Slowly he removed his haori and tossing it aside baring his strong chest to her and Takara's gaze was held captive as he then reached for the tie of his hakama to loosen it.

"Forgive my eagerness, beloved" he told her as he came down over her, caging her under his larger body "But if I continue to play with you like this, I may lose control." Takara thought on that for a moment as she slid his hakama down his hips and thighs before he kicked them off.

She shivered, feeling the evidence of his eagerness, hot and steel hard against her thigh. Settling in above her, Sesshomaru adjusted her legs, spreading them wider to accommodate his hips, one hand resting on the curve of her hip while the other tangled in her hair, his arm wrapped underneath hers, at the base of her head, gripping it tightly before he leaned down, his hot breath against her ear. She felt him move, the head of his cock pressed against the wet entrance of her sex.

"Are you ready?" he asked, his voice a growl before he licked the hollow below her ear. She wrapped one arm around his neck while the other gripped his back tightly.

"No"

The growl she received was hard to understand. She couldn't tell if it was anger or frustration, but either way, he paused, pulling his cock away from her entrance and leaning back to look at her face. "You had better not have changed your mind." He practically snarled and she smiled at him, trying so hard to reign in himself.

"I am ready, but not this way…" she explained with a blush. Again he cocked his head to the side and studied her- a silent cue for her to continue. "The past few months, you have gone by human custom, courting and marrying me, but we both know that you're a demon." She moved out from under him and sat up, waiting until he followed suit.

"I know this. Is it not what you wanted?"

Takara smiled as she leaned in to kiss him, pulling back before he could deepen it. "It's exactly what I wanted, but I never forgot that I was marrying a demon not a human." She turned, presenting him with her back as she pulled her long, black hair over her right shoulder and looked back at him over her left.

Understanding dawned in his eyes as lust danced across them before he tried to cover his eyes with their usual blankness. "It will be more painful for you this way, Takara. You are too tight." He argued with her and her gaze dropped to his erection and it took everything in her power not to tremble at the sight of it; long, thick, and steel hard.

"I know, but what have you done these past few months if not sacrificed your patience? Even I know how irritating I can be." She shrugged, her smile never faltering. "I know what I'm asking, Sesshomaru, and I know it will hurt, but…" She trailed off looking away from him.

"But?..."

"It's alright. This whole time I knew that I didn't just marry a human man. You're not. Of course I wanted the human experience of being married, but there is something I wanted more."

She felt him move closer, his hands touching where he could reach before she finally looked back into those red tinted, molten amber eyes. "I've had the marriage ceremony, so I don't want to give myself to my husband on our wedding night. What I want is to be claimed by my demon mate."

In that moment, Sesshomaru smirked, before allowing his eyes to bleed to red. "This is what you want?" Takara nodded. "I just want you, Sesshomaru."

"Then you're going to get me. All fours."

Takara shivered in anticipation as she moved into position, his much hotter body coming up behind her. He growled continuously as he adjusted her stance- spreading her legs wider, pushing down between her shoulder blades to force her upper body weight to rest on her forearms her back arched more dramatically. Finally she felt him settle in behind her, his legs pressed against her own, his large hands on her hips.

"I do not wish to cause you pain." He told her even as the hot crown of his member pressed against her sex. "Tell me if you wish to stop and change our position and I will try."

She smiled at that. He'll try to stop. Meaning he wants this bad enough to where he may not be able to… "Alright" she whispered, gripping the futon tightly in her hands and dropping her head. Taking a breath she braced herself, listening to him behind her, growls in time with his breath before she heard him exhale loudly.

She felt his hold on her hips tighten, his cock retreat slightly, and then he moved.

In a single strong thrust, Sesshomaru had penetrated her virgin sex with his sizable cock, causing Takara to yelp in pain as a few tears slipped down her cheeks. Even as she whimpered from the pain of his invasion part of her reveled as he roared in triumph behind her. She winced as he slowly pulled back out only to slam himself back in, repeating this a few times while she adjusted to the subjugation his body demanded of hers.

"You are Mine!" he growled as the rhythm of his hips increased in tempo. "Mine to mate with. Mine to breed with, and Mine to protect."

This time the tears that slipped from her eyes weren't tears of pain, but happiness. "Always Yours" she moaned as pain slowly gave way to pleasure. When those words left her lips, Takara felt him changing position, his rhythm never faltering. One by one, he lifted his legs to settle on the outside of hers while his ankles crossed back over her calves holding them in place, then he lowered his upper body until his forearms rested on either side of hers, his large hands locking over her wrists, caging her.

Even if she had wanted to, she couldn't escape him now. Her arms and legs were pinned to the futon by his larger and much stronger ones. All she could do was take what he had to give her as he drove relentlessly into her silken depths like the crazed beast he had become and Takara loved every second of it. To say there was no pain would have been a lie, the sheer power of his thrusts hurt not to mention how his large size stretched her virgin sheath to its limits, but this is what she wanted. She wanted to feel the pain as he took her because it would serve as a reminder of not only all she had given up but also what she had gained. The hurt and tears were for the life she had lost in her world, the pleasure and adoration were for Sesshomaru and this new world.

"Takara…?" he growled roughly in her ear and she looked to him. She could see the turquoise of his eyes fading back to amber and she knew he was trying to regain his control. She could only moan in response before she began to move underneath him, roughly shoving back to meet his thrusts, demanding more.

Her response must have eased him because turquoise covered his amber irises and she watched as his fangs lengthen his mouth moved to her shoulder. Even as her body sought the pleasure he was bringing her, she knew what was coming. She could feel his demonic aura sizzling against her skin where they touched, heightening her pleasure until it spilled over.

Her climax was brutal, her vision clouded in a web of black as she clamped down on his plowing cock like a vice. As his name left her lips in a cry of ecstasy, she felt his fangs pierce her shoulder, holding her tightly. Even as his fangs were buried in the flesh of her shoulder, Sesshomaru snarled as he reached his own completion and Takara could feel his hot seed pouring into her even as a strange pressure began to press against her trembling walls.

She felt Sesshomaru tense above her as he abruptly pulled back only causing her to yelp when he tried to pull out of her body, but couldn't. His teeth released her shoulder and his hands released her wrists as he leaned up and gripped her hips.

"Damn" Takara heard him curse before he leaned back down, his chest pressing against her back as he wrapped an arm around her waist. "Try and be very still, Takara" he told her before rolling them on their sides.

Confused she went to turn to face him, but his iron grip on her hips tightened preventing her from turning. "Don't" he told her softly as he began licking her shoulder where he had bitten her. "It will be a short while before we can separate." Stunned, she lifted her leg and brought it back to rest on his and tried to look down. "You mean we're…?" she began with a bit of disbelief in her voice.

"Tied? Yes. I'm afraid I got carried away." He answered her simply.

"Like a dog?"

She heard him sigh "Have you forgotten I am a dog demon?"

"So what if I…?" she trailed off, and wiggled her hips a bit, feeling how tightly he was locked inside her and winced a bit. "Definitely a tight fit…" she said as his hold tightened further.

"Be still" he told her, but she didn't pay him any attention as she reached down, feeling between her legs.

As she leaned slightly forward to reach down, she could feel how full he had filled her, but now she could feel where he had swelled to stay locked inside her. She slipped her hand down, his shaft between her second and third finger and she could feel his knot just inside her sex.

"That's kind of cool" she whispered more to herself.

"When my body is warmer that yours?"

Takara laughed. "I meant that's kind of amazing. Cool is slang in my world for neat, amazing, awesome; you get it?"

He didn't respond at first but continued to lick the wound at her shoulder. "I didn't injure you, did I?" he asked a moment later.

Takara shook her head. "No but I think I'm going to be sore tomorrow." She looked back at him over her shoulder. "But it was well worth it." He leaned down to give her a gentle kiss which she broke away from with a yawn.

"Sleep, my mate, you need rest after our joining." He told her, reaching behind his back and pulling his fur to cover them.

Takara couldn't help but do just that as her eye lids became heavy in the afterglow of sex, her body still humming with pleasure. "How long?" she asked as sleep crept up on her quickly.

"For…?" he asked while his hand ran up and down the curve of her waist.

"Until you stop swelling?"

"Does it cause you discomfort?"

"No I just want to sleep facing you." She yawned.

"Then I shall assure you shall wake up as such in the morning."

Takara knew nothing else after that.
