It may have been because of that dream. Or maybe the fact that they havent been intimate for the last 2 days. Or perhaps because she was all alone the entire afternoon and she had all the time in the world to daydream about her mate. Whichever case it was, she didn't care anymore. All she wanted was for her husband to come home, to take her to bed, and to penetrate her body in whatever position he desired. Tonight, preferably on all fours.
He was supposed to be already home. After all, he was only to scout the village for plausible threat.
Kagome could not stop pacing the room as she thought of her hanyou. Was she worried? That maybe something bad had happened to her mate? Or was she hot, horny, impatient, and bothered? Was she even a good wife to think of sex that time of uncertainty? Kagome's thoughts were running all over until finally his mate had announced his return.
"Im home."
"Inuyasha! What took you so long? I was beginning to worry about you." She was expecting a short version of what might be a fascinating story of his venture, but all she got from him was a simple heartfelt apology.
"It's okay. What matters is you're safe. Come. The food should still be hot."
The dinner felt more silent to her liking. But isn't that what love was? To find comfort in each other's silence? Kagome could no longer afford to pay attention to the deviance of the night. All she wanted to do, now that she was finally on the futon, with her mate on his side, was to be one with him, in all ways possible.
"Inu?" - she asked as she peered from the seemingly sleeping hanyou
"Yeah?"
"Are you tired?"
"Aaaa, Why?" He didn't know why he even asked. He knew. With every fiber of his being, he knew. The answer, he already smelt a few meters away from the hut.
"I.. well.. if you're not tired, i was thinking maybe we can…." She replied as she shyly and slowly, dragged her finger on Inuyasha's body, starting from his chest, circling its way to his left nipple, on the way down to his stomach, and down, down further, until she reached his shaft, where she decided to lay her palm flat.
"You know…" she spoke suggestively, palming his rod and massaging it in a way she knew in no time would make his mate needing and very hard.
She didn't expect his reaction afterward.
"Kagome, stop. I. I can't tonight. Some other time, maybe?" It was the first time any of them rejected a sexual invitation. Was she embarrassed? Definitely. Did it make her feel unwanted? Without a question. But kagome decided to let it slide. He might be just tired after all.
"Oh. Ahm. It's okay, Inu. Yeah. Tomorrow, maybe? Or yeah.. some other time." She awkwardly replied. And to save herself from further embarrassment, she decided to just hug her mate, and buried her face in the crook of his neck.
"I love you, inuyasha.."
She was answered with a tight embrace.
Kagome thought everything was back to normal. Although they did not talk about their awkward encounter last night, they were back to being very chatty early in the morning, with few exchanges of hugs and kisses then and there.
"I'll ask him again, tonight" - she thought.
Inuyasha, much like yesterday, was out after lunch. He asked Kagome if he could do another scouting of a village just to make sure that everyone will be safe for the night. And although it was rare for him to do the check for two consecutive nights, Kagome still agreed.
"Im home."
"Inuyasha!"
"Hey… what's with the smile? Anything happened while I was out?"
"No, not really. I just miss you, is all." she replied while she gave her mate a tight embrace.
"I was wondering. Well, it's a bit early for dinner, right? Maybe we could.. you know.. mate for tonight? Just a quick one, before dinner! Or ahm, I am up for two if you want. Or three rounds if you're feeling it! I was also thinking, if you're a bit tired, 'cause you just came home, well then maybe i could ride you this time? Me on top? Or I don't know, what do you think?" - kagome continued.
Few seconds had passed but there was only silence. She looked up at his face to give him a tease but his eyes bore nothing but hesitation and regret.
"Or.. maybe some other time?" She continued, her voice no longer able to contain the disappointment and worries she was having.
"Sorry, gome.. I still can't tonight."
"Oh. It's fine. Yes. I… I. Well. I don't want to force you, you know? Let's just do it when we are both up for it."
"Yeah…."
The night ended with none of them speaking a single word.
