Kagome opened her mouth to refute him, but he gave her a pointed look. "Have you ever known me to be dishonest?"
Her jaw snapped shut, and she shook her head.
"And have I ever been deterred when I declared something to be mine?"
A smile tugged at her lips, and she shook her head again.
Sesshoumaru leaned closer, golden eyes gleaming. "Then know this: I have never wanted anything as much as I want you, Kagome."
She couldn't have spoken if he'd allowed her to, so she settled for grabbing his collar, pulling him down into a heated kiss.
