A/N: This is a spinoff from my Come Out of Ashes AU, but not necessarily canon to that story.
I just wanted to write something one-off and smutty because I've been in a mood. I've been developing the plot for COOA for months now, and I wanna do that story justice, so it's been taking more time than I'd like to get chapters out. However, I definitely have some ideas in mind for later down the road, and around this universe that I don't think I would necessarily include in the story, but might be fun for stuff like this.
Heavy on the smut and fluff, so please don't read if you're not interested. Kinda just an excuse to have some PWP.
Enjoy!
Songs used in this chapter in the order of appearance:
(1) Symphony – Madilyn Bailey (originally by Clean Bandit ft. Zara Larsson)
Kagome looked down at her phone with a depressed face. She'd really been looking forward to seeing him tonight. But those plans were ruined…
"I'm so sorry," she texted him.
He texted back relatively quickly, as she could see him typing not long after she sent her apology.
"Hey, don't worry about it. You've got work and it's a priority."
"Yeah, but I still feel bad," she sent back.
"Don't. You've got nothing to feel bad about."
God, how did she get so lucky with him?
A small solemn smile appeared on her lips as she placed her phone on her desk and grabbed some of the paperwork she needed before she made her way back to the basement.
Her internship at the symphony was coming to an end, and she knew the last few weeks were going to be intense. There were multiple recordings and events scheduled, and she needed to prepare the documents and sheet music for all the musicians.
Her first deadline was the next afternoon, and there was no way she would get all her work done if she didn't stay late that night to get a large chunk of it done.
Unfortunately, it just had to fall on the same night as her and Inuyasha's Wednesday night writing sessions, which over the last two months, had become a pseudo date night for them.
It was one of those days of the week that just worked for them both typically, but there was no way she'd be able to get out of working tonight. It sucked, but she knew he would understand. It was such a relief to know he didn't think she was avoiding him or flaking out.
Kagome's footsteps echoed in the concrete stairwell as she walked down to the basement where the archives and sheet music from previous performances were stored. She needed to pull the requested music and make the notation changes the lead maestro had requested, then get copies made for the orchestra.
Every… Single... Instrument... For every... Single... Musician.
It was going to be lot of work, but if she planned it right, she could get half of it done tonight, and the second half done in the morning.
The silence in the archive was almost deafening as she entered the room, the faint buzzing of the florescent lighting only barely disturbing the quiet.
Kagome was the only one left in the building, save maybe the odd security guard or two, and to say it was a little creepy to be in the basement all by herself was an understatement. The air was colder than everywhere else in the building, spurring her need to work fast to find what she was looking for.
After about thirty minutes of digging around in boxes and metal filing cabinets, she had managed to pull everything she required, and quickly made her way back upstairs, pausing only turn off the lights, plunging the basement back into darkness.
As she walked back to the stairs, shuffling her way through the halls of the main building, she walked by the backstage entrance, and a moment of curiosity got the better of her. She'd never had a chance to stand on the main stage of the symphony before, her work was strictly behind the scenes, and she hadn't had an opportunity to perform during her time here. She had wondered if she would ever get the chance to stand on that stage, and the chance was almost too good to pass up.
She moved towards the door and pressed on the long metal bar that unlocked it and poked her head inside. The stage area only had one or two flood lights lit so people wouldn't come in in total darkness. She moved a little further in, taking a deep breath as she took in the sounds and smells of it all.
It wouldn't hurt to take a moment to just walk across the stage, would it? Kagome stepped inside, startled a little by the heavy thud of the door as it closed behind her.
She carefully walked through the wing before making her way up and onto the main stage. A piano sat quietly on its own, and the solitary flood light felt almost like a spotlight as she came and stood center stage, looking out into the seating where an audience would be. It felt right to be standing here. She'd always wanted to be standing on a stage like this one day, and while her finals performance accomplished what she'd hoped it would — having her father see her perform before his death — a small part of her still hoped that wouldn't be it for her.
With the internship finishing and the deadline for her EP coming up with the studio, Kagome was coming to a crossroads. Where did she want to go? What path did she want to take in her life?
She turned around to look back and up towards large organ on the upper balcony that loomed over the stage. 'Maybe this'll be my only chance…' she thought to herself.
She placed the mountain of paper down on the bench next to her, and took a seat at the piano. Her fingers hovered delicately over the keys, as she let herself consider what she would play if given the opportunity.
She tapped a few notes (1), and the echo over the empty space became the canvas she wanted to fill with colorful sound.
I've been hearing symphonies
Before all I heard was silence
A rhapsody for you and me
And every melody is timeless
Life was stringin' me along
Then you came and you cut me loose
Was solo singin' on my own
Now I can't find the key without you
Now your song is on repeat
And I'm dancin' on to your heartbeat
And when you're gone, I feel incomplete
So, if you want the truth
I just wanna be part of your symphony
Will you hold me tight and not let go?
Symphony
Like a love song on the radio
Will you hold me tight and not let go?
I'm sorry if it's all too much
Every day you're here, I'm healin'
I was runnin' out of luck (Oh-oh)
I never thought I'd find this feeling
'Cause I've been hearing symphonies
Before all I heard was silence
A rhapsody for you and me
And every melody is timeless
Now your song is on repeat
And I'm dancin' on to your heartbeat
And when you're gone, I feel incomplete
So if you want the truth
I just wanna be part of your symphony
Will you hold me tight and not let go?
Symphony
Like a love song on the radio
Will you hold me tight and not let go?
And now your song is on repeat
And I'm dancin' on to your heartbeat
And when you're gone, I feel incomplete
So if you want the truth
I just wanna be part of your symphony
Will you hold me tight and not let go?
Symphony
Like a love song on the radio (Oh)
Symphony
Will you hold me tight and not let go?
Symphony
Like a love song on the radio
Will you hold me tight and not let go?
Her voice faded quietly into the background of the open room as Kagome let her hands slowly fall away from the keys. She felt her shoulders relax, with a mixture of feeling somewhat sated and fulfilled.
When she stood from the bench, she heard a noise from the back row of seats. She froze for a second as she looked up and squinted to see if she could spot who'd caught her in the act. She was met with familiar golden-honeyed eyes, and she instantly knew who it was, "Inu… yasha…?"
He was standing at the back of the room, his position similar to where he had been when attending her finals performance. She could clearly make out his eyes and silvery hair from the stage, even against the darkened backdrop and the flood lights in her eyes.
"I didn't mean to interrupt," he said loud enough for her to hear as he started down the aisle and towards the stage.
Kagome found it hard to look away from him as he moved. His hands were stuffed in his pockets, and his jacket hung off his frame in just a way to make him look too handsome.
She gave him an appreciative smile, "What're you doing here? How did you even know I was in here?"
His answer came easily, "I went by your desk upstairs but you weren't there, so I followed your scent."
Of course, she should have known by now, the answer was almost always he followed her scent. As much as he sometimes hated being compared to a dog, he certainly wasn't above using those abilities when it suited his needs.
"I thought we talked about this, I can't do tonight." She said, regret in her tone.
"I know," he shrugged, "but knowing you, you forgot to bring dinner, right?"
'Crap,'. He was right. She didn't have anything to eat. The last meal she had was an early lunch because she had hoped to get her work done more quickly if she did, but when it became clear she would need to stay late, the thought of dinner hadn't even crossed her mind.
He saw her body stiffen and realized he was correct, "… Aaand you probably weren't gonna remember that until it was midnight, and then you'd be shit outta luck for finding something to eat," he explained in a way only he could that was both insulting, but considerate and endearing, all at the same time.
"So… you brought dinner?" she asked, a little surprised and excited.
"Keh! Don't sound so shocked," he said under his breath, a small redness coming up to his cheeks, "I left it on your desk, just in case. Thought I'd bring ya something so you didn't starve."
She moved forward over the stage to meet him at the edge. Only instead of stopping and hopping down like a normal person would, Kagome jumped down to him, and Inuyasha was barely able to catch her in time, "Hey! What the hell…?!"
"I love you," she muttered to him, her face pressed into his shoulder as he held her against his chest, her arms wrapping securely around his torso. She'd said it so quietly and quickly he wasn't sure he'd caught it, but by now, he knew…
And hopefully… she knew how he felt about her too.
"Hey," he breathed out, and when Kagome's attention was drawn up and towards his handsome face, Inuyasha leaned in, his hand on her cheek as he kissed her. Kagome's hands slid past his shoulders to tangle her fingers in ponytail as she returned his kiss.
They stayed in their embrace for a few moments, enjoying the quiet and comfort they brought to one another before pulling apart, a heated stare passing between them.
"What would I do without you?" she asked him rhetorically.
"Starve… like I said," he replied jokingly.
She giggled before pressing another quick peck to his lips. God how she wished she could've spent the night with him tonight. She had been in a mood all week, which had made her look forward to their date night even more than usual. His being there only made it all the more difficult for her to have to tell him to go when all she wanted to do was spend the night in his arms. Just the thought made her tone a little too sultry, "I'm already starving…"
It didn't take more than a second for Inuyasha's nose to pick up on the change in her scent. Damn, this wasn't why he was here, but when that scent came over him, he could hardly control himself.
"You're really gonna try that when we're in such an open space, Kagome?" he asked her in a teasing and testing tone.
She looked up at him with a somewhat quizzical look on her face, "What do you mean?"
"Fuuuck, you really are oblivious," he groaned out with a smirk. He swiftly lifted Kagome under her thighs and wrapped her legs around his waist, causing her to squeal in surprise as she held onto his shoulders for dear life.
"Inuyasha! What are you doi—NNnnnngg?" she let out a moan when he pressed her back up against the rise of the stage, and felt his hips grind against her, immediately alerting her to his current situation. Her pencil skirt rode dangerously high and left almost nothing between her and Inuyasha except his jeans and her underwear.
"Don't play dumb, Kagome," he growled into her ear, catching her lobe between his teeth. If she wasn't feeling hot as hell before, she certainly was now, "It's like you still forget…"
"H-uhh?" she half asked, half-moaned, barely able to tell which way was up or down at the moment, her hands gripping the back of his jacket and neck in desperate need to hold on to something.
He gave her neck and jaw a playful lick with an added scrape of his fangs, feeling her body shiver against him, "… that I can always tell when you're getting riled up."
The warmth of his breath on her skin and the drawl in his voice as he effortlessly seduced her only escalated her arousal higher. She honestly did forget. He'd told her before that her scent had tipped him off that she had feelings for him. It added a certain level of eroticism that, without ever needing to say a thing, they were always on the same page.
But as much as she wanted this — and damn if she didn't want this — she had her priorities, "Inuyasha, we can't… not in here."
His tender ministrations along her neck and sides never stopped, even as he teased, "What; you've never thought about it?"
"Of course I have —uh! But… there's a difference between fanaticizing about a thing, and actually doing it," her hips were starting to betray her, even as she spoke, her body acted on its accord and meeting Inuyasha's movements with her own. She tried to be sensible though, her worry nagging at the back of her mind, "Someone could walk in on us."
"Keh, then they can watch…" he said without any hint of shame.
She tried to chastise him, but could only let out a small whining scream when she felt his clawed hands move under her skirt, seamlessly tearing the panties she wore with little more than a flick of his wrist, "Inuyashaaaa…"
"If anyone was here, I'd hear 'em comin' a mile away," he explained to ease her worries, while kneading her plush thighs and ass in his hands, his mouth making its way back over hers in hopes of preventing any further protest.
If she were honest with herself, the idea of having sex in a public place always did turn her on. It had been a fantasy that she'd indulged in from time to time. However, before Inuyasha, she hadn't even been with any else sexually. He was her first, and ever since they'd gotten together, he'd managed to pull out this whole other side of her that she'd never really known existed. Someone who wanted to try anything and everything with him, and at times, it made her insatiable and frantic for more.
Lucky for her, Inuyasha had the stamina of a demon.
Her hands soon joined his in kneading his shoulders, encouraging him to lose some of his clothes. He soon gave in as her hands tried working his jacket off, smoothly removing one hand from her soft thigh and shifting the garment off before doing the same with the other arm. His jacket hit the floor with a hefty thud and her hands started their ascent, running up the back of his neck as her mouth eagerly slanted back against his. She was giving in, and willingly — not that she needed much persuading.
Her thighs squeezed around his hips, drawing him closer to her, and she could feel herself melting when she felt him chuckle against her lips, "Fuck, Kagome…"
She giggled seductively, "Mmm, what's wrong?"
He shook his head a little, "Ab-so-lute-ly nothing," before finding her lips again.
Inuyasha could feel her smile radiate through the kiss. It never ceased to amaze him how lucky he got with Kagome. How she put up with him and his bullshit, he'd never know. But he was grateful, and he'd spend every day of his life making sure she knew just how grateful he was to have her there with him — starting with worshipping her in the one place she felt most alive.
He'd never seen someone so in their element as he had watching her perform only for herself. Sure, he'd been watching for a bit, but she hadn't known that. Kagome was just so present in herself when she sang like that. He'd seen it all throughout their time working on her album together, their jam sessions, the recording sessions with Kouga… and now, when they were alone together like this.
He loved it when he was the one who could make her sing.
Moving back down along her neck, Inuyasha let one of his hands smooth its way up her waist and under her baggy sweater, careful to not let his claw scratch her delicate skin as he brushed them over her ribs before settling over her breast.
"No bra today…?" he questioned, not letting his attention wander from his main goal, though it did make him just that much harder for her.
A gentle squeeze and a tug while laving at her neck had her hopelessly in need of him, holding his head against her while her thighs pulled him in closer, ignoring his question altogether, "Inu… yasha…."
He could feel the front of his jeans becoming soaked with the dampness between her legs, and damn, if that didn't boost his ego…
His hand massaged and pulled and twisted over her breast, playing with her nipples and delighting in every whimper and moan she let out, "Uuuughh… Yash…"
"Use your words…" he chided playfully, pulling her sweater up to reveal her bare chest to him. He never got tired of that sight. Did she even realize just how perfect she was?
Inuyasha quickly shifted Kagome in his hands, holding her higher against the rise of the stage, bringing him face to face with her two luscious mounds. He pinned her there, his hand now stroking the opposite breast, while his mouth latched onto the other, his other hand never letting her slip from his grasp. Kagome let out a cry of pleasure as he worked over her chest, kneading and loving on her. Her hand could only find purchase on his head, holding him steady and winding her fingers against his fuzzy ears. She leaned forward a little, taking the tip of his ear into her mouth, and let her tongue run across the edge, eliciting the most sinuous groan of approval she'd ever heard from him.
"This is gonna be over real quick if you keep that up," he breathed huskily against her breast, before switching sides to give her other breast it's due attention.
She giggled demurely, "Well, I do still have work I need to get done."
'Shit…' he thought to himself. She was right. She had a deadline to hit, and as much as he was enjoying this, he knew she needed to get back to work, and soon.
"Then we better make this fast," he added, letting his hand drop from her breast to his jean zipper, pulling himself free from the tight constraints.
He let her body slide back down, just to jolt her a little, pulling the most adorable squeak from her as he caught her easily, her exposed and absolutely soaking wet core now nestling his rock-hard cock between her lips.
"Mmmm, Inuyasha… please..." she whined in a strained need, loving how he fit so seamlessly against her like this, and how amazing it all felt. She knew she needed more, and if she didn't have it soon, she would explode.
He didn't need to be asked twice. Pressing in close and capturing her lips in his once more, he slowly rubbed himself along her folds to soak himself in her essence. The head found its way to her entrance and slid into her with little resistance.
"Fuuuuuck," he groaned against her lips. She was everything.
Kagome's voice pitched higher as she felt that incredible pressure and stretch that only Inuyasha could provide, and she felt whole once more.
It only took a second or two of adjustment before Inuyasha found his rhythm, rocking into Kagome over and over again, and unable to get enough of her. Muffled moans and sobs of pleasure escaped her as she held onto Inuyasha's shoulder and neck, her hands and nails looking for anything to ground her to reality before she flew off the deep end, "Inuyashaaaa…."
Her body shook with each punishing thrust and she was elated.
His pace quickened as her cries for him egged him on, "Ugh, Kagomeee…"
They were lost in their own world; even in such an open space, their attention only on each other — every hitch of their breath, every cry of their names, every stroke and tug, it was all either of them could focus on.
It was no wonder that when Inuyasha did eventually hear a faint noise in the distance, it took him a second to process that it wasn't a hallucination.
"Shit!" he said under his breath, taking Kagome away from their spot against the rise, and into the shadows of the backstage area, holding her tightly to his body as he went with incredible speed. He crouched with her still in his lap, her legs secure around his waist and making them both appear as small as possible.
"What is it?" she asked in a quiet, but worried tone, her hand gripping his biceps tightly.
He hurriedly gestured by pressing a finger to his lips, not making a sound before Kagome finally understood why he'd leapt off with her. His ears were angled and flinching to hone in on something. And then, without warning, the back-auditorium door could be heard opening, the heavy metal frame creaking as it did. She spotted a flashlight moving cross the space. It was a security guard.
How could she have forgotten? She should've known better.
Kagome's body froze, hoping that if they didn't move, they'd blend in seamlessly with the shadows of the backstage area, and the guard would miss them entirely. The lovers waited patiently for the guard to check the area and move on his way, but as his flashlight surveyed the area, it settled on something in front of the stage. Kagome's body tensed as she realized what it was…
'Our clothes!' she screamed internally, her grip on Inuyasha's arm tightening at the realization. The shredded remains of her panties and the pile of Inuyasha's jacket were still over there. Inuyasha must've had the same thought as he watched intently, ready to run away with Kagome if need be.
The guard slowly walked towards the mound of fabric on the ground in front of the stage, craning his neck back and forth looking confused by it.
He leaned down, picking up the jacket, muttering to himself, "Someone must've lost it."
A quiet and hopeful breath escaped Kagome's lips. He hadn't seemed to notice the remnants of her underwear scattered on the floor.
She let her head flop onto Inuyasha's shoulder when she heard another door open and close with the same heavy creak, feeling Inuyasha's body relax against her.
"Fuck, that was close…" he whispered against her.
She giggled, "What happened to 'They can watch'?"
A small shriek of laughter left her lips when she was suddenly on her back, Inuyasha still pressed deliciously into her. His rough hands cupping at her thighs to wrap around him again as he leaned forward, "If I didn't think it'd get you fired, I would've let him."
She couldn't formulate a response, only focused on the exhilarating feeling of almost getting caught and the beautiful sensation of Inuyasha resuming where he'd left off; kissing along her neck and finding that delightful rhythm between her legs again. It got her so excited that she was a little bashful to admit it.
Her cheeks turned a bright red, and when she never responded, Inuyasha lifted away from her neck to check on her. Seeing her flushed state, he asked, "Everythin' okay?"
She looked up at him, her hands cupping his cheeks to soothe his concern, "Everything's fine. Just a little flustered. That was…"
Inuyasha's ears perked up as she tried to find the words, "That was… what?"
"That was… kind of hot… almost getting caught, I mean… or someone… maybe, watching us?" she tried to hide her face behind her hands as she admitted it aloud.
His body paused as he looked down at her, embarrassment covering her body and scent. His expression was one of endearment, as he asked, "You like that?" his tone genuinely curious.
She peeked out from between her fingers, nodding shyly, "I… It kind of… makes me feel… proud? I don't know how to else describe it, but when we're together like this, I just want the whole world to know that I'm yours, and how lucky I am that you're mine."
He was positive his brain short-circuited. She wanted to show him off? She… didn't see him as an embarrassment?
"Kagome…" he said wistfully, reaching a hand to her cheek, exposing her adorable and beautiful features to him again. His thumb ran over the apple of her cheek before moving to press his lips against hers sensually, filled with so much love for this woman.
Her hands started winding their way back into his hair, eventually finding his hair tie and releasing his mane, curtaining them away from the rest of the world as he leaned back over her to worship her, as she deserved.
Her eyes drifted closed as his arms wrapped around her waist, his nose burying into her neck and hair as he inhaled her scent. She smelled delicious, and of sex. Even her sweat smelled amazing. He wanted to remember it for all eternity. His lips moved across her skin, dancing over her neck and collar as his hips slowly found a gentle rhythm. Her hands caressed his back and shoulders, tangling in his hair as the softest keening mewls escaped her throat, encouraging her half-demon lover down the path he'd already started them on.
The faintest scrap of Inuyasha's fangs along her skin had Kagome leaning her head back, exposing more of herself to him and making herself vulnerable to his every whim. It was an act of trust and submission, and it did things to Inuyasha to know that she trusted him so intuitively. He coaxed her back towards him with a small nip to her jaw before capturing her lips in his, her hushed moans swallowed by his kiss.
The glow of the spotlight barely highlighted the outline of their bodies, tangled and caressing each other as they silently decided to take their time to love on one another. Kagome's hands run under the hem of his shirt as she felt the hard angles of his muscles before wrapping around his waist and guiding his thrusts to match her own with her thighs. Their movements were languid and steady, letting themselves get lost in each other, content to stay connected like this forever.
With a small hitch of his hips, Inuyasha snapped them forward suddenly, catching Kagome off guard as he hit something deep within her, causing her to let out a breathless and satisfied groan, "Ooooh… Inuyashaaaa…"
He'd never tire of how she called for him that way.
Her hands moved north on his torso, admiring his frame with her hands while she tried to steady herself, Inuyasha continued the new pace, letting his own hands migrate further down her body, holding her thigh higher towards her chest and opening her up that much more to him.
With each gasp for breath, Kagome's hands scrambled for any kind of stability, a tell-tale sign that she was getting close to her peak, "Inuyasha… Please, I'm gonna…"
Her pleas were cut off when Inuyasha's hips repeatedly hit harder and harder into her, his hand moving over that small bundle of nerves that he knew would send her over the edge. That was when he most delighted in hearing her sing.
Kagome panted and moaned for him, her hands pulling him close by the shoulders as she felt herself fall right off the cliff. Her body went taut against him, bowing up and off the floor, "Inuyashaaaaa!"
The sound of her own ecstasy filling his ears was enough for Inuyasha to follow her to the ends of the earth. His hips violently thrust into hers, added in with a few powerful grunts and snarls, before he finished inside of her, filling her completely, their combined fluids spilling out from her.
It took a few moments of intense breathing from the pair to come back down to earth, not wanting to leave the beautiful cloud in the heavens they'd found themselves on only a few moments ago.
Inuyasha reluctantly pressed a soft kiss to her neck before pushing himself up and off of her, only to be greeted with the most gratified look he'd ever seen Kagome bear. With her cheeks flushed, eyes half-lidded, and mouth agape, taking in deep breaths with the smallest, satiated smile on her lips, he'd never felt more that he'd done right by her.
He sat back on his haunches and gently pulled her legs away from his hips, letting himself slide out of her and her body relax. He could feel her legs trembling under his touch, so he asked quietly, trying not to disturb her euphoria, "You alright?"
He watched as she nodded, her breasts slowly stopped their heaving as her breaths evened out. She moved to try and sit up, feeling the remnants of their joining leak from between her thighs as she did.
Inuyasha tried to encourage her to rest for a moment, but Kagome placed her hands on his chest, taking a tiny bit of the fabric of his shirt within her small fist, and pulling him forward to kiss him. Inuyasha shifted to avoid falling on her before gently taking her face between his hands to return the kiss in earnest.
When Kagome finally let him up for air, she said demurely, "Wonder if we can find any other small hiding spaces before my internship is up?"
She knew what she was doing. Inuyasha's sideways smirk returned as he threw back, "Don't tempt me with a challenge like that, Kagome. I may just take you up on it."
Her smile lit him up like a fireworks festival, and he'd kill anyone who dared to try and wipe it from her face.
"I know you would… and I'm counting on that," she teased, giving him a peck on the lips before asking him to help her get cleaned up.
She was going to be the death of him, he was certain of it.
After he managed to find his jacket at the security desk, which was luckily unoccupied — a sign indicating that the guard was on patrol —Inuyasha agreed to take his leave so that Kagome could resume her work. He pulled her close by her waist to give her a long and indulgent kiss before reluctantly telling her goodnight and leaving out the back stairs door. Kagome let out a shaky sigh as she felt the chill of the air as the door closed behind him, the void of his warmth beside her causing her skin to form goosebumps.
She slowly made her way back upstairs to her desk, paperwork in hand, and as she sat down, she spotted the white takeaway bag of food Inuyasha had brought her, and her stomach growled in appreciative thanks for the amazing man.
Hope you all enjoyed this quick romp into smut! I'm still at least 3 chapters away from some more smutty goodness in the Comes Out of Ashes story, but it is coming… hehehe
Please leave a kudos/review/comment if you enjoyed this, and I'll try to do more one-shot spinoffs from this AU. :)
Special thanks again to Ruddcatha for being such an amazing beta-reader and editor!
Until Next Time…
