It has been three months ever since the incident with Kikyo. And much like everything else, it seems that all had gone back to normal, Inuyasha and Kagome included.
Early in the morning, Inuyasha had dropped his mate off at Sango's and joined Miroku on their supposed exorcism.
"Kagome?"
"Yes, Sango?"
"Have you and Inuyasha been okay?"
"Of course! Why do you ask?"
"Well.. Since I've known you two, I haven't seen Inuyasha look at you like that before. Ever."
"Look how?"
"Like.. well.. like a predator looking at his prey? Don't tell me you don't feel it? Or atleast see it? He's like drooling all over you, Kagome. Like at any moment, he might snap, and I swear, it looked like even with an audience? He'd take you right there and then."
"What?! I think you're just seeing things." She chuckled.
"Am I? Really? Tell me, when was the last time you two had a…. passionate evening?"
Kagome didn't answer.
It was mid afternoon, Inuyasha and Kagome had returned to their home to spend the rest of their day.
While Inuyasha went out for a while to hunt some rabbits for their dinner, Kagome indulged herself to bathe in the nearby hot spring. Once she had finished, she wrapped herself with a towel so short it barely covered her body. Anyway, her hut was very distant from the villagers, so her lack of modesty was never an issue for her. Or for her mate for that matter.
On her way back, a few steps away from the hut, Inuyasha suddenly landed behind her which caused the unsuspecting miko to startle. She quickly turned around to give the hanyou a beating, but she lost her footing in doing so. She tried to regain her balance by stepping back, but a branch on the ground made her trip which ultimately made her fall on her butt.
"Inuyasha! What were you doing! You scared me!"
But the look on his face was unsettling. Her Inuyasha, standing in front of her, frozen in place. Both his fist balled up, nose flaring, eyes focused on a certain lower part of her body.
And then it hit her. There she was, sitting on her ass, with her two arms behind her bracing her weight, knees folded, and legs a bit apart. Her towel must have loosened up during her fall, as it was now completely splayed on the ground. So that left her naked and very much exposed to her mate. And if she wasn't mistaken, Inuyasha had been ogling her soon-to-be-wet center. Before she had the time to close her legs, Inuyasha spoke and leapt away.
"See you back inside"
She stirred on the futon as she felt something out of place. Reaching her arms out to hold the hanyou, she then realized that he was no longer sleeping beside her.. In her mind, he left her alone in the middle of the night.
Was this a repeat of the cave incident? She thought guilty, feeling a venomous pit building inside her stomach.
So again, for the second time since the unfortunate event, she put up a barrier around her and looked for her missing husband.
But this time around she didn't need to walk that far, because not a few steps after, she saw his mate near the backdoor, beside the pile of their used clothing they had set aside since a week ago. What she saw overwhelmed her.
For there was Inuyasha, sitting on his knees, his hakama pulled down a little, enough for his shaft to sprang free.
One of his hands was gripping his shaft, stroking it up and down. While the other was holding her underwear up to his nose, inhaling it deeply as he rubs himself ardently.
"Ahhh ... " he moaned as he threw his head back in pleasure, while breathing in the spicy musk scent Kagome's underwear still held.
She felt like watching a forbidden movie. Like that wasn't something she was supposed or allowed to see.. But she couldn't tear her eyes away from him. Her mate looked magnificent and erotic, even more so in that state of sexual vulnerability.
They way he rubbed his shaft, slowly at first but slowly gaining speed each seconds past. The way he brought her panty to his nose. The way his lips parted as his eyes rolled backwards in pleasure. Everything about him was godlike.
"Kagome…" he moaned, as he sped up his strokes.
Kagome loved hearing that. He was thinking of her. Not of anyone else. Her. Not Kikyo.
"Fuck.. gome.. aaah" He suddenly put the pad of the underwear on his mouth and sucked on it. Very hard. As if in doing so, he'd be able to taste what little of his mate's essence had left on the piece of clothing.
Few more strokes afterwards and white liquid spurted out his shaft.
"Ahhhh" he moaned, removing the now soaked underwear out of his mouth.
Kagome quickly ran back to her bed and pretended to just woke up by acting a bit disoriented.
"Inuyasha?? Where have you been?" - she rubbed her eyes and tried to sound sleepy.
"Just need to check something, Koi. Sorry did I wake you?"
"Not really. Was just missing your warmth, is all"
"I'm here now, gome.." He said as he joined her again for the night.
It has been three months. Three months since the incident with Kikyo.
Three months since she'd not let Inuyasha touch her.
Three months of her not having passionate encounters with her mate.
"I am not ready yet, Inuyasha.. i'm sorry.. "
"It's okay, koi. I'll wait for you."
How many times had they exchanged those conversations, she had lost count already. All she knew was that it had been three months.
Her reason? She wasn't ready to tell Inuyasha yet.
Or rather, she wasn't ready to ask him yet.
