Chapter 8

Sesshomaru's eyes fluttered open and he immediately squinted at the sunlight leaking through the sheer curtains of his bedroom window. He blinked a few times, allowing his eyes to accept the brightness of the room. Images of last night came flooding quickly into his mind as he fully emerged from his subconscious state. He bit the side of his lips still feeling her warm lips on his. His eyes rolled to the side seeing Kagome's wavy hair draped across his arm that wrapped around her naked breasts. Gazing down, Kagome's body curved into his and he realized they were spooning. Oh my god, he has spooned, this was a new thing for him. He pondered whether to remove his arm but if he woke her up in the process, there would possibly be questions he wasn't prepared to answer yet. He dug his nose deep into the back of her hair, taking in the berry scent of her shampoo. The aroma combined with her natural scent sedated him better than any Valium he'd ever taken, and it also stirred up his arousal. He could feel her come to as her hips pulled back into his groin as she stretched her torso out. Feeling an aching erection coming on, he pulled away so she wouldn't feel him prodding her backside, though, an exceptionally large part of him wished to entertain a round two.

Kagome opened her eyes, her lips curling into a smile then switched to a frown when she looked around the room. She was in Sesshomaru's room. So then, last night was real? She glanced down at his muscular arm clutching her breasts and a cheesy grin formed on her face. She wanted to look back and see if it were real but was afraid to look at him. It was so surreal. Her and Sesshomaru? She wanted to scream in her mind. The events from last night made her blush and it surprised her how amazing it was. Never did she imagine he'd be so…good. He just knew where to touch her, how to kiss her and he was so determined on satisfying her before himself. He had always appeared stiff with a devoid of any type of affection but last night, last night proved otherwise.

Sesshomaru didn't know what to say. He could sense she was awake, what now? Was he to remove his arms from her breasts? Did she want that? Or did she want them kept there?

Kagome glanced at the clock without moving her head. It was 10am in the morning. That is late for Sesshomaru to wake up, she was surprised he wasn't throwing a fit but what was he to say exactly anyway? 'Damn it, why did we have crazy sex so late, now I overslept!', Kagome thought. She tried to refrain from laughing not wanting to ruin the moment of him being close to her. As if they both thought, once separated, they will never be this close again, or so they feared.

At that moment, Kagome's cellphone blared from the living room. Sesshomaru's phone pinged several times. The two could no longer pretend to revel in the effects from last night's profound love making. Slowly but mutually, they parted from each other.

"Oh my god..." Kagome murmured to herself as she wrapped a blanket around her body and got up. She turned to Sesshomaru who had a blanket around his waist and observed his abs as he searched for his phone inside his dress pants. The sheet around his waist slid down showing his V shaped muscles and she stopped breathing for a moment. He looked up and their gazes locked for a short while. A small grin formed at the edge of his lips and she blushed as she gnawed the bottom of her lip and sauntered out of his room to search for her purse. The phone continued to ring, and she rushed over to the side of the door and picked up her purse from the floor. Yanking the phone out of the purse, she answered it with a short breath.

"Hello?" she said, glancing at the unknown number before flipping her phone open.

"Kagome..." said a familiar voice.

Inuyasha, she thought, then looked over toward Sesshomaru's room. He was immersed in work emails.

"Um...yes?"

" It's me...Inuyasha." he said, sheepishly.

"I know..." Kagome scoffed as she trudged into her room for something to wear after she showered.

"You don't sound happy to hear from me." he said, disappointedly.

"I'm sorry, should I be?" Kagome muttered lowly so Sesshomaru couldn't hear. She rolled her eyes as she dropped the blanket and grabbed a towel.

"I need to see you, Kagome. I miss you."

"See me for what?"

"Can we just get coffee or something and catch up?"

"Catch up?" Kagome laughed. "What the hell do you think this is, a reunion? Fuck off. Don't call me anymore." She gritted lowly into the phone before hanging up. The nerve of him! Catch up? She flung the phone to her bed and walked out of the room with the towel wrapped around her and bumped right into Sesshomaru as he made his way toward the bathroom, towel wrapped around his waist. He grabbed the edge of her arms and she stared up at him then dropped her gaze slowly to his lips. He flickered his gaze between her eyes, lips, cleavage and felt his chest expand as lust consumed him.

Moments later, they were in the shower, hot water raining down on them from the shower head as Sesshomaru positioned her legs under his arms as he thrusted himself into her against the wall. They were moaning into each other's mouths, her inner thighs clapping against his hips. He inched closer, adjusting himself to thrust deeper and knew he found her spot by the quiver in her voice. He quickened his thrusts with short pulses, her moans becoming stronger and higher pitched. After she climaxed, he impelled harder, their bodies ramming into the tile wall causing body wash and shampoo bottles to topple into the bathtub as he felt his body jerk and explode with a robust orgasm.

_IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII_IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

By noon, Sesshomaru and Kagome were showered, dressed and sitting at the kitchen table drinking espresso. Both not discussing about last night nor...this morning. Sesshomaru kept his attention on his tablet absently reading emails, not absorbing the information but he needed to keep himself from looking at her because just the slightest bat of her lashes and biting of the lip would have him go mad with desire and then they would never leave the apartment. This wasn't good. What were they going to do now?

Kagome kept sneaking looks at him from the edge of her coffee mug. Were they going to act like nothing happened? The way he kissed her, she thought, rubbing her sensitive lips together as she gazed at his amber orbs glittering against the light of his tablet.

"Sesshomaru...about last night. "Kagome started.

This was it, Sesshomaru thought. As expected, the speech that this was a mistake. "Yes, I agree."

"You...agree?" Kagome frowned. " I didn't even say anything."

"You don't have to; I know what you're going to say." He set his tablet down.

"which is?" Kagome cocked a brow.

"That we were being irrational, and the intoxication got the best of us."

"Um...no." Kagome chuckled. "because that wouldn't explain this morning." Her smile faded. " Wait...are you saying this was a mistake?"

Sesshomaru didn't know what to say, wasn't that what she was trying to say?

"I don't know what you want me to tell you."

"What I want you to tell me? How about what you want to say?" Kagome stood up from the table and dumped her coffee into the sink. "Was last night a mistake?" her voice broke.

Shit. Sesshomaru's lips parted but nothing came out. He buried his face into his hands and cursed under his tongue. Why were things so complicated? He missed his simpleton life. Why hadn't he corrected her? Why did he not tell her that last night was not a mistake and was the first time he's ever felt like that. That even after last night and this morning, while they drank their espresso's, he had wanted to throw her on the table and make love to her. He just couldn't. It was almost as if it were easier for him if she hated him. That wasn't right though, Kagome hating him was the least thing he wanted.

"I don't know...I suppose it could be a mistake." He said, unsurely.

Kagome gasped and her eyes started to water. She blinked then turned to leave the kitchen. " Ok, well, glad we got that out of the way…I, um…I'm going to go shopping." She tittered then grabbed her car keys. Noticing the heavy disappoint cross her face, he stood up from his seat.

"Kagome...wait." he said, but not loud enough. Kagome grabbed her jacket and was out the door. He could go and stop her, but his feet wouldn't move. Why didn't he try to stop her?
