Kagome turned her head to look at Inuyasha, her eyes heavy as she whispered, "Why, know someone who wants to apply?"

Inuyasha felt his smirk form as he prowled towards the woman leaning oh-so-casually against the wall. He could feel the heat coming off of her when he stopped, leaving only a breath of space between their bodies. He trailed his claws from her hips up to her shoulders, down her arms to lace his hands through hers, watching as her lips parted and her breath hitched.

"I may know someone." The huskiness of his voice made a shiver go through the woman.

"Yeah?" she moaned, catching her bottom lip between her teeth, "think he could handle me?"

"Kagome," Inuyasha purred, "I know I can handle you." He shifted one hand to place it at the small of her back, pulling her flush against him. He felt more than heard the slight whimper that went through her in the second before he claimed her mouth as his.

The first feel of her lips had his mind reeling and a growl was torn from his throat. He gently pulled his second hand away from hers to clasp the back of her head, holding her still.

"Open for me baby," he whispered against her lips, moaning as she did and he got his first full taste of her. The scent of ginger teased his nose as she pressed herself up, trying to get closer to him. She wrapped one arm around his neck, the other stroking along his hip, her fingers kneading against him. He felt himself hardening against her, relishing her muted whimpers as she pushed against him.

"You keep doing that and I'm not going to let you go," he teased, nipping at her lip before soothing it with his tongue.

"Who said I wanted you to?" she gasped as he kissed down her throat.

"Kagome," he choked out as her hand slipped forward from his hip, her fingers brushing him through his jeans.

"Still think you can 'handle' me?" Her lips quirked in a seductive smile as he lifted his head to meet the challenge in her eyes.

"The question is, Ka-Go-Me, can you 'handle' me?" He smirked, wrapping his arm the rest of the way around her back and lifting her up, groaning as she wrapped her legs around his waist and he ground himself against her heat. Kagome's head dropped back as she let out a soft sound of pleasure, using her legs to pull him closer to her. "What was that Kagome?" he teased, shifting her against him, "I didn't get that."

Kagome used her legs to rise over him, her hands coming to rest on his cheeks as she looked down at his heated gaze. "Do your worst dog-boy," she whispered before sealing her mouth against his, making Inuyasha's knees go weak and bells to go off in his mind.


The bell of Inuyasha's alarm jolted him out of his dream, causing him to groan in frustration. He could still feel Kagome against him, how good, how right she felt in his arms, around him, and fuck if he didn't want to know how she felt under him. His body was still worked up and raging, aching for her, and he fell back against the bed with a huff, thankful he slept in the nude and didn't have to deal with constricting fabric, not with how hard he was. He knew from experience that a cold shower wouldn't have any effect when he was like this.

Fuck it.

He moved his hand to handle his length, and he closed his eyes as he thought back to his dream. Memories of Kagome's moans and soft pants had him moving his hand, causing him to groan . His breath became ragged as he imagined her softness, her heat as he held her tight against him, his mind going beyond the dream as he drew his claw down her shirt, cutting the fabric away to reveal her to his gaze, the perfect shape of her breast.

"Ka...Kagome…" He panted, lost in his fantasy, only to freeze as his ringtone echoed in the room.

Who the fuck was calling him, now of all times? His mind was torn, his body was aching for release but… it could have something to do with the campaign and… FUCK.

Inuyasha reached out with one hand to grab the phone, his other still wrapped around his aching cock, stroking it as he hit the answer button and snarled out, "what?"

"OH MY GOD INUYASHA HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEW PENNSYLVANIA NUMBERS?" Kagome's voice echoed in the room, causing his eyes to go wide and his hand to stop moving, his erection deflating in shock.

"Ka...Kagome?" He panted, staring at his phone in disbelief , his breathing still heavy.

"Yeah, sorry for the early morning call," her voice slid around him as he closed his eyes, trying to hold back a groan, "but have you seen what's happening?"

"What are you talking about?" His voice sounded rough even to his own ears.

"Pennsylvania has updated numbers, and… are you ok?"

Inuyasha groaned at the change of her voice. "Ye..yeah."

"Seriously, Inuyasha, are you ok? I don't think I've heard you winded before. Do you need anything, should I come over?"

"No!" he barked out, god no, not after the dream he had… he would jump her the moment she got to his pla…

"What's your street number, you said you are on Huron right?"

"What are you…"

"INUYASHA, street number," she demanded, and Inuyasha found himself responding to the command in her voice without thinking. "I'll be there in about ten, just hold on ok?"

Inuyasha heard the phone disconnect and sat there staring at it for a moment. Kagome would be there… at his apartment… in ten minutes… ten minut…

"Oh FUCK!" He scrambled out of bed, grabbing a pair of jeans and a tank top from his dresser and throwing them on. He grabbed a tie and threw his hair up on t the top of his head before running to the bathroom to brush his teeth and throw water on his face.

He ran down the stairs, checking the front parlor, then raced down to the eat-in kitchen, frantically making sure it was presentable, snatching up the containers of ramen he had forgotten the night before and hiding the evidence.

He had just finished when he heard a pounding at the front door. He rushed to the door and found Kagome standing there, her chest heaving as she tried to catch her breath, her cheeks flushed.

His first look at her floored him. She was dressed more casually than he had ever seen her before, wearing a pair of tight jeans and a fitted, very fitted, sweater top. He took a deep breath, and her scent hit him like a full bouquet; her vanilla and cherry scent blended with the faint hint of musk and sweat from her dash to his home, and he felt his knees going weak as she approached.

"You… You okay?" Her breathing was still ragged as she laid a hand on his forehead, checking to see if he had a temp.

"Yeah," he said quietly, stepping away from her. "Sorry. You didn't need to run over here."

"Inuyasha," her voice dropped, laced with hurt. "I just wanted to make sure you were ok. You sounded… off. I just got worried."

He couldn't help it; he drew her into his arms, giving her a quick hug. "I appreciate it, Kagome. No one's worried about me for a long time."

Kagome looked up and gave him a small smile. "It's what friends do, Inuyasha."

For some reason her words seemed to bother him, and she watched as his face fell, his arms dropping from around her. As he moved towards the first room, she got her first good look at him: his bare toned arms, the muscles rippling across his back and… oh hell, his hair cascading from a tie at the top of his head. Now that she knew he was ok, she really should get out of there before she did something she would regret… again. With her worry over, she now had the opportunity to look around his apartm… no his townhome, taking in the decorative molding and the decoration.

"What was it you were saying about Pennsylvania?" Inuyasha said over his shoulder as he moved to turn on his television.

Kagome shook her head, following him into the room. "You know how last night the numbers were close?" She waited for his nod before continuing. "Overnight the Philadelphia numbers started coming in."

He turned to her quickly, his eyes wide, his ears at full alert. "Does that mean what I think it means?"

Kagome grinned as she saw the flare of hope in his eye. "Yeah, it does… Totosai is ahead in PA."

"Fuck me…" he breathed, quickly changing the channel to the election coverage, the loud volume hiding Kagome's swift intake of breath at his words, missing the look of desire that crossed her face.

'That is entirely not fair…' Kagome thought to herself, willing herself to calm down. There was something about his hair being tied up off his neck, rather than at its base, that let her appreciate his back without any distractions.

Inuyasha suddenly froze, the hand with the controller trembling for a moment before steadying itself. The scent of ginger was unmistakable, and he had to fight to keep himself steady. He took a deep breath, but quickly realized that wouldn't help, her scent surrounded him, intoxicating him.

'Think of something, anything, else.'

"What are the odds they will call it today?" he asked, feeling proud of his steady voice.

"Not sure; the difference is still within the .5% for a recount, so it could be hours." Kagome paused, her gaze on the floor. "I should head home; sorry for barging in like that."

"Stay," he said softly. Chocolate eyes turned to meet wide amber as he began to panic. "I.. I meant… well, we closed the headquarters yesterday, so why not stay and watch it here." Inuyasha could feel his cheeks burning as he tried to cover his soft admission.

"Are… are you sure?"

Inuyasha shot her an irritated glance. "I wouldn't have offered if I wasn't sure."

She laughed at his expression. This Inuyasha she could handle. "Then sure, I think I would like that. It would feel weird to watch it by myself now anyway."

"Make yourself comfy on the couch. I'm going to go make some breakfast;, you want anything?"

"What do you have?"

"Ramen."

Kagome made a face. "That's not breakfast food."

"Keh, I eat it for breakfast, therefore it's breakfast food. Want any?"

The look of disgust had him laughing. "I'm gonna go with no then. You wanna stay here or come with me while I make it?"

Curious, she followed him downstairs to the kitchen, her eyes wide as she looked around her.

"Your home is gorgeous! How long have you been here?" She had to ask.

"I've had this place for about 40 years now, updating as needed to keep it up to code."

"I keep forgetting that you are what, 90?" Kagome said softly.

"97 to be exact." Inuyasha grinned as he set his electric kettle to boil.

"So why ramen?" Kagome teased.

Inuyasha shrugged, shooting her a grin. "I like Ramen."

She shot him a baleful glance, crossing to look out the glass doors to the long narrow patio and garden as the kettle turned off, signaling the water was boiled.

"You had to quit your job to come work on the campaign right? Do you regret it?"

Inuyasha leaned against the counter as he poured the water into the cup of ramen, considering her question. "No, I can't say I do. Sometimes you have to do what just seems… right… ya know? And this felt right."

She gave a soft sound that had his ears twitching as she continued to look at the garden and patio, only turning back when she heard him throwing the cup away.

"Think they called it yet?" she asked, trying to keep her attention on her surroundings and not the gorgeous man in front of her.

"I doubt it; I'm sure we would have gotten a phone alert if they had. Come on, let's go see how close it is."

"Did you ever regret it?" Kagome asked as she followed up the stairs. Inuyasha paused, looking back at her with a puzzled look.

"Regret what?"

"Being part of the campaign, leaving your job to start as a volunteer."

"Never, not once," he said as he started back up the stairs. "Sometimes you just have to do what feels right."

"Yeah," she said quietly, his ears twitching at the soft sound.

She followed him back to the front room where the TV announcer was providing an update.

Inuyasha groaned. "Are they ever going to update Nevada? They've been at 85% reporting for days…"

"I'm surprised AP called Arizona; CNN still shows it as leaning Totosai, but they haven't called it yet." Kagome slid her sneakers off and curled her feet under her on the couch.

"Keh, look at the Arizona numbers. The districts still reporting heavily favor Totosai; the mailed ballots are coming in 3 to 1 for him."

Kagome smiled as she leaned her arm on the back of the couch. "Look at you! When I first came on, you seemed confused when we talked like that; now, you are a seasoned pro."

Inuyasha flushed but then his attention flipped to the TV just before the red "breaking news" scrolled by.

"This just in: we have received word that the Associated Press is ready to make a call on the state of Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania, and its 20 electoral votes, have been called for the Totosai, bringing his total electoral count to 274. We are calling the race, Totosai is the new President-Elect of the United States of America, the first Demon to hold the office, and his running mate Shiori, the first female and first half demon to hold the office of Vice President."

Kagome and Inuyasha wore stunned looks as they tried to listen to the rest of the announcer's message.

"He won," Inuyasha whispered at the same time Kagome gasped, "Oh my god… he did it."

The two looked at each other for a moment before Kagome screamed, "OH MY GOD!" and jumped off the couch, jumping around the parlor.

Inuyasha surged to his feet with a loud "YES!" as their phones started to buzz and ring. "We did it! Holy fuck we did it!"

Kagome turned to face him, tears in her eyes, and without thinking, Inuyasha reached out to cup her cheeks and captured her mouth in a quick kiss. He felt a jolt rush through his system the moment his lips touched hers, making his hands shake with sensation. As he pulled back, she lifted her hands and placed them on his wrists, wide chocolate eyes locking with amber, and he could feel the same tremor running through her. They stayed like that for a moment before his head slowly lowered, his eyes on hers. With a soft sound, Kagome closed her eyes and pushed herself up, meeting him halfway. The moment their lips touched, she gave a sigh of pleasure and wrapped an arm around his neck. His hands lowered to steal around her back, his fingers trailing against skin left bare as her shirt lifted.

Whatever he had thought kissing Kagome would be like, it in no way compared to her being there, her lips against his, her scent surrounding him. He closed his hand around her sweater and reluctantly lifted away from her, the need to breathe outweighing his need to keep kissing her.

Kagome opened dazed eyes to find his locked on her, his amber eyes swirling with heat. "Inu...Inuyasha?"

He groaned and lowered his forehead to hers. "I've been wanting to do that for so long."

She took a deep breath as she placed a hand against his chest, fingers tracing the edges of his muscles as he shuddered under her touch.

"How long?" she whispered as her eyes fell to his lips.

"The moment you walked in the door on the first day," he admitted, one hand raising to cup her cheek again, his thumb stroking her cheek. "You?"

She gave him a small smile and bit her lower lip, earning a groan from Inuyasha as his gaze lowered, tracking the movement.

"Thirty seconds after I met you."

With a growl his arm tightened around her waist, lifting her against him as he seared her soul with another kiss. At Kagome's whimper he touched his tongue to her lips, purring with pleasure as they opened and he was able to taste her fully for the first time.

Nothing could have prepared him for the heady rush of desire that coursed through him as their tongues danced with each other, and he felt the edge of hers brush against his fangs. He shifted backward until he felt the couch brushing his legs and carefully lowered himself, keeping his precious cargo pressed against him.

Kagome felt him shifting against her as he sat, and heat coursed through her at the feeling of his length pressed against her through their clothes. As he sat, she shifted her legs so she was straddling him on the couch as she deepened the kiss. She whimpered into his lips as a roll of his hips had her entire body tingling like she had received an electric shock. Her hips shifted against him, meeting his movements, chasing that feeling again. He pulled his lips from hers, smirking at her sound of protest.

"I would like to apply," he whispered against her ear before placing a kiss on the soft skin below.

"A…apply?" she moaned as she tilted her head to expose more of her neck.

"You asked if I knew anyone who wanted to apply to be your boyfriend," he reminded her, placing drugging kisses along her jaw, making his way down her neck. "I want to apply."

"Ahhh…" Kagome let out a soft cry as she felt the gentle scrape of his fangs against her skin, her hips shifting at the feeling as heat pooled between her legs. "And what makes you qualified for the position?" she panted as her eyes closed at the sensation. She felt his smile against her skin as his hips thrust up against her and she let out a cry.

"I can't say I have extensive experience in the field," his words were punctuated by kisses back up her neck, "but what I lack in prolonged experience, I make up for in passion." His tongue flicked out to taste her skin, the flavor reminding him of the finest wine, a flavor to be savored, treasured. "I can promise to cherish you, to treat you like the goddess you are, to be your partner in every sense of the word," he whispered, placing light kisses to her lips before pulling out of her reach. "I can promise to make everyday an adventure for as long as you want me, to share things with you and only you, to respect you, honor you, and if you let me, to love you, with every fiber of my being, cause I'm sure as hell halfway there already."

Kagome's eyes were clouded with desire as she raised herself off him, one hand tangling in his hair, as she used the other to brace herself. Inuyasha felt his heart stutter as she watched him, and knew in that instant she could break him with one word. When he saw her mouth open, her tongue caught between her teeth, he nearly lost his control, but he held himself still, waiting, praying, for her answer.

It came with a tug against his hair as Kagome tilted his head back so he could look her fully in the eye. He had a second to recognize the glint of happiness in hers before he lost all thought as Kagome short-circuited his senses with her passionate kiss, his body hardening to the point he felt that he would burst without her even touching him.

"Application accepted," she whispered against his lips, giggling as he growled and pulled her down flush against him, plundering her mouth with his lips. Her laughter gave way to sighs as she felt his claws trailing up and down her sides before his hands curved to cup her ass, pulling her closer to him. Her hands lowered to the edge of his shirt to tug it upward, anxious to feel his skin against her.

"Not here," Kagome felt, more than heard, his husky whisper, before he lifted her off his lap, cradling her in his arms as he stood and dashed towards the staircase, hurrying to the next level. She wrapped her arms around him, her own teeth and lips finding the cords of his neck. She was addicted to his scent, pine and sandalwood, and the slight taste of salt as she nibbled his neck. Inuyasha's arms jerked at the feeling of her teeth against his skin, and she purred, shifting to nibble near his jaw as he faltered in his movements up the stairs.

"You keep that up, woman, and we will continue this here on the staircase," he panted, shaking his head to clear it.

Kagome pulled herself up a little more to place a kiss and a teasing lick against his cheek, one hand sneaking up to his ears to tease the soft fur there. "Is that a promise?"

"Oh fuck me," he gasped as he stumbled, thankful he had just gotten them off the stairs.

"Mmm, I thought that was the idea." Kagome's breath was warm against his ear, and Inuyasha felt another shudder go through him at her words. With a snarl he clutched her tighter, dashing into his bedroom. He shifted her to face him, still holding her tight, his eyes nearly black from his desire.

"No Kagome, I'm not going to fuck you, fucking is too fast." His teeth raked against her neck as he leaned forward to taste her skin, causing her to cry out and shiver in his arms. "I'm going to savor every minute of this, making you scream my name over and over again. And that, Kagome, is a promise."

"What if I make you cry out my name first?" She challenged, her nails trailing down his neck as he groaned.

He slowly lowered her to the bed, following her down to rest his weight atop her. "We keep going, and you give me the chance to return the favor." He leaned down to give her a heated kiss. "Over and over again."

Inuyasha shifted his weight to one arm, freeing his other to stroke the edge of her sweater, his claws darting under it to dance against her skin, causing Kagome to shift below him with a broken sound. He lowered himself to draw an earlobe into his mouth, worrying it with his teeth as his hand slid under her sweater, leaving a heated trail against her skin before cupping her breast through her bra. Kagome whimpered as her nipple pebbled, brushing against the lace of her bra as he slowly began to knead her flesh.

"I want to see you," Inuyasha's voice was rough, "I need to see you."

Kagome arched her back as he began to shift her sweater upward, pressing into his touch. A wicked smile curved across her lips as she stopped his hand, pulling him down for a kiss to capture his groan of frustration. She pushed against his shoulder, leading him onto his back as she reversed their positions, maneuvering her legs to either side of his hips before sitting back, her core rocking against him. With a smirk of her own she started to slowly lift her sweater, watching as Inuyasha's breathing became more and more ragged at her movements. When she finally swept it off herself she heard his "oh fuck" whispered in a broken tone, and she was suddenly glad she had worn her red lace bra that day.

His hands shook, shook, as he placed his hands on her hips, running them up, cherishing her figure before his palms curled around her breasts. Kagome arched her back and let her head drop back as she felt his claws teasing her nipples, pebbling them even more against the lace. Her hands shifted to the fastening of her jeans and she heard Inuyasha's sharp inhale as his hands stilled, dropping to his side, leaving his view of her unobstructed. As she lowered the zipper and rose above him, drawing the jeans down, he couldn't take it anymore. He pushed himself up, catching her ass between his fingers as he helped her lower the pants, his hands running over each leg as she drew them each out, tossing the pants to the side.

She was a goddess, a literal goddess, on her knees before him; the scalloped lace of her lingerie matched the crimson of her bra. He let out a groan at the sight of her, gift wrapped in his favorite color. She leaned towards him to catch his lips in a kiss, lightly pushing him back. He placed one hand behind him for support, his other hand cradling the back of her head as he felt her tongue trace the edge of his lips. Inuyasha felt her smile against him as she let out a heated chuckle an instant before her hand stroked him through his pants. He bit back a groan as he felt her lowering his zipper, her hand darting inside to stroke against him.

"Hmmmm, commando," she teased as her hand wrapped around his dick.

"Ka —Kagome…" he gasped, his arm buckling behind him as he fell back on the bed. Her hand wrapped around him, stroking his aching cock as she leaned forward, the red lace lingerie, fuck he had died and gone to heaven. He bit back a whimper as he felt the scrape of lace against his sensitive tip followed by smooth skin as Kagome crawled up his body.

"That's one," she purred in his ear, her hand continuing its movement over him, her thumb teasing the moisture leaking out of the tip.

"You don't play fair," he halfheartedly growled as his hips pushed up into her hand. His hand closed involuntarily against the raven strands of her hair, careful not to pull or push her too close.

"I never said I did," she teased, her weight shifting down his body, "but I can promise you will love every minute of me playing."

"You just wait until it's my turn Ka… oh fuck." His words broke off into a soft swear as he felt the heat of her mouth taking him in. "Oh god, Kagome…" he choked out, fighting to keep his hips from thrusting. Shit, he knew he wasn't going to fucking last long if she kept that up, his body was still too worked up from his dream… and then her scent… and her taste… and FUCK…

She gave a soft hum that had him clenching his free hand into the sheets as he felt a familiar pressure tingling at the base of his cock.

"Ka...Kagome… not .. not this way," he gasped out.

Kagome stopped her movements, lifting her mouth off him to look at him questioningly. Her breath caught as she saw his amber eyes focused on her like a predator. Her mouth had felt too damn good, but he wanted, no needed more. He needed to balls deep inside of her, feeling her body twitching around his like he needed air.

"I am too close to coming, and when I do, I don't want it to be in your mouth, I want to be inside you."

The fresh flush of desire and longing that rushed through Kagome had her closing her eyes with a whine. In that moment Inuyasha pulled her down and rolled her underneath him, his lower body resting on hers, causing both to moan as his length brushed against the damp fabric that separated them.

"I believe that was two…" He caught her lace covered nipple in his mouth, relishing her soft cries as his tongue teased her against the fabric. "So I gotta make sure I top that now don't I." His eyes seared hers with their heat. "When it comes to you," he promised, "I will always, always, make sure you are satisfied."

"Well then…" her eyes closed as he returned his attention to her breast, "aren't we both wearing too much clothing?"

His laugh against her nipple sent a shockwave, causing electrical currents to run through every nerve in her body.

"We will get there, Kagome," he nipped the flesh above her bra, causing her to keen as her hands grasped his hair, "but now it's my turn to play."

A hand slid behind her back, deftly undoing the hooks that held her bra together. With a wink he took the edge in his mouth, lifting her up slightly to pull it away from her. As he drew the straps down her arms, his claws trailed behind them, causing her to shiver as the sensation made her core throb. At last she was free of the constraint, and he grabbed the item out of his mouth to toss it off the bed.

Inuyasha traced the outside of her breasts with his hands, watching as her breathing lifted them. He lowered his nose between them, taking a deep, exaggerated sniff before licking the skin.

"Perfection… sheer perfection."

He hovered over her right mound, his eyes trained on hers as he smiled before opening his mouth slightly and letting a puff of warm air from his breath flow around her nipple. Kagome softly cried out as it pebbled even further, the cool air rushing in to replace the heat. The second time he did it her back arched, pushing her breast towards his mouth, her body aching for his touch. He pulled back just far enough to continue to tease her, but too far away for her to reach.

"Oh god, please!"

"Please what Kagome?" She whined as his breath danced over her flesh.

"Taste me…" she begged, her words breaking off into a cry as he finally, finally pulled her aching flesh into his mouth, his tongue swirling around one nipple as his hand began to tease the other. His fangs scraped against her flesh and she gave a loud cry as he sent currents of electricity coursing through her towards her throbbing core.

"That's one," she heard as he switched his attention to the other breast, lavishing it with the same attention. Her hips shifted beneath him, her movement rewarded with a soft thrust of his cock against her increasingly wet core. "Not yet Kagome, not yet."

"Oh god…" she whimpered as she felt the telltale coiling in her abdomen, her hips bucking up against him.

He released her breast to shoot her a smirk. "Sounds like someone's close," he purred, "let's see how close."

Kagome could do nothing more than grasp the sheets beneath her as one of his hands trailed down her side towards the red lace she still wore. She felt Inuyasha's weight shift off of here as he drew the garment down her legs. One of her legs was lifted slightly for him to place a gentle kiss on her inner thigh before bending her leg over his shoulder and repeating the action with the other leg.

His hands stroked her legs as they trembled against him. "Your scent has been driving me crazy. Do you have any idea how fucking amazing you smell?"

"Inu…" she pleaded, her hips bucking against him.

"You smell like vanilla and cherries, the sweetest of breakfasts, but now, like this?" He lowered his head towards her, his eyes closing in bliss, "the scent of ginger is woven through, and you smell like the most decadent treat, one made just for me to appreciate and enjoy. A scent that makes my mouth water, making me crave its taste." Kagome let out another broken sound as he spoke, unable to keep her hips still. Having him there but not touching her was driving her out of her mind. He chuckled and her body froze, trembling. "And it seems like you want me to lap you up. Do you, Kagome?"

A broken "oh god" from her mouth had him growling with anticipation. Slowly, deliberately, he closed the distance between his mouth and her glistening sex, his eyes watching her face as he moved.

"Open yourself for me," he commanded, watching with lust-filled eyes as Kagome's hands trembled as she reached between her legs, pulling back her lips to reveal the hard bundle of nerves that was dying for his touch.

He groaned as the heavy scent of ginger surrounded him, and he surrendered to his desire. At the first touch of his tongue against her, Kagome bit back a cry. He alternated between slow, teasing licks and quick flutters against her clit, and she could feel the coil tightening further, the pleasure bordering on pain as she continued to climb. Her hips thrashed beneath his ministrations; her hands gripped the pillow beneath her head as her sounds grew louder. Inuyasha growled, the vibration coursing through her, and the coil burst, causing her to cry out his name in a broken sob. He felt the shivers going through her as he slowed the movement of his tongue, lapping at her slowly as she came down from the high.

'That's two,' he thought to himself as he pulled away to nuzzle her thigh with his cheek.

"You ok?" he asked quietly, watching her.

"I'll let you know when I get back to earth again," she panted.

"Where would the fun in that be, Kagome?" he asked, his eyes swirling with desire as he rose up over her, wiping his mouth and chin on the back of his arm.

Kagome gave a mock frown. "Why am I the only one that's naked here?"

"Let me fix that, then." Inuyasha rose up to his knees to tear his shirt off and kicked off his jeans before lowering himself down to lay next to her. He propped himself up with one arm; the other caressed her skin gently.

"You are so fucking beautiful," he breathed, watching her skin react to his touch. His hand swept down her stomach, her breathing catching at the movement. His fingers teased the damp curls, his claws catching the hairs as they danced over her. He frowned slightly before turning quickly to his night stand, grabbing a nail clipper from a drawer and cutting down his claws.

"What are you…"

"I want to touch you Kagome, and I don't want to chance hurting you."

Inuyasha threw the clipper to the side and pulled Kagome against him, skin to skin for the first time, and Kagome felt her excitement growing again. She felt his hands running down her back and hip, causing her body to heat again with each movement. He shifted her onto her back as he leaned over her, his hand drifting down to her curls. She jumped at the first touch of his hand against her clit, a groan breaking free at the feeling. His tongue slipped into her mouth as he slid one of his fingers into her;his thumb teased against her clit, and her body jumped. She felt that finger begin to withdraw and bucked her hips, chasing the feeling, whimpering as he pushed back into her, his finger hitting a spot that had her seeing stars.

Inuyasha groaned against her mouth at the feeling of Kagome's heat surrounding his fingers. He could feel his control cracking as he slid a second finger in to join the first, scissoring his fingers inside of her. He pushed himself up to watch her as he moved his hand, relishing the gasps and moans that were pulled from her as he moved. He could feel her muscles tightening as her hips twisted , riding his fingers as she cried out.

Her eyes snapped open to meet his and he knew he couldn't wait any longer. He quickly withdrew his fingers, groaning at Kagome's soft sound of disappointment as they left her heat. He grabbed a foil packet from the nightstand, tearing it open to roll the latex down his length as Kagome quivered beside him, the back of one hand covering her mouth as her other reached out to him. His fingers laced through hers as he covered her body with his own, lifting her hand above her head as he positioned himself against her.

"Kagome…" Inuyasha whispered, his forehead dropping to touch hers as he held himself there, his body shaking with need, waiting for her, wanting her there with him.

The hand that had been covering her mouth snaked around his neck to bury itself in his hair as Kagome drew his lips to hers and wrapped her legs around his hips, pulling him further in, and he was lost. He surged forward, burying himself to the hilt against her as Kagome cried out against his lips. He forced himself to still, waiting for her to give him a sign that he could move.

Kagome could feel her entire body throbbing around him, all sensation tied to the glorious feeling of being so filled, so stretched, by this man. She shifted, and felt the tips of her breasts move against his slick skin and she whimpered, her tongue dancing with his as their bodies were locked together.

"Oh, God, please…" she whispered, her hips bucking against his, desperate for him to move, and she was rewarded by a short answering pulse of his cock inside her. He began to draw himself out only to push back into her slowly, oh so fucking slowly, and she could feel every nerve in her body tighten.

"Please what, Kagome?" Inuyasha asked, his mouth on a heated track to her breast. He drew it into his mouth, suckling on it as his hips moved in short teasing strokes that made her body burn.

"I… I need… oh god," she stammered out, her body pulsing as he pushed forward with a hard thrust and his tongue flicked against her nipple. She felt Inuyasha's groan course through her, spiraling her higher as his movements became faster, sharper. She tugged his hair and when he raised his head she pulled him up to fuse her mouth to his, her teeth nipping his bottom lip. He growled in response as he slid a hand under her to tilt her hips upward and she let out a broken sob as electricity coursed through her. She buried her face against his neck and felt the muscles of her body begin to quiver, heat shooting through her as his thrusts grew faster and more erratic.

"Come for me, Kagome," Inuyasha growled against her ear. He gave her a bruising kiss, lifting her higher. "Let me feel you."

His fangs nipped against her throat and the coil exploded, Kagome's head falling backward with a scream; her entire body convulsed as wave after wave of pleasure erupted through her. Inuyasha felt her tighten around him, her body trying to keep him deep within her, and with a hoarse cry he followed her into oblivion, his hips thrusting helplessly into her as he rode out both of their orgasms. He peppered her face and neck with light kisses as their bodies recovered, pulling reluctantly out of her to discard the condom and then drawing her back into his arms, resting her head against his shoulder.

"You ok?" he asked gently, placing a kiss on her forehead as he stroked her hair.

"Uh-huh…" she nodded, breathing in his scent. She tilted her head back, her satisfied eyes capturing his as she gave a cat-who-got-the-cream smile. "You're hired," she whispered, running her hand over his bare chest.

Inuyasha arched an eyebrow at her, and after a moment burst out laughing, pulling Kagome closer to kiss her.

"So that was my interview, huh?" he teased, his hand stroking along her back.

"Well, I won't let just anyone be my boyfriend," she replied cheekily, her eyes dancing with amusement.

His lips met hers in a soft kiss, one that spoke of his longing, his adoration, and his thankfulness that she had chosen him, of all people, to be beside her. When he broke the kiss, he could see tears forming in her eyes as she smiled, her arm wrapping around his waist to snuggle against him.

The sound of music and singing had Inuyasha's ears twitching and turning to the street window.

"What's going on?" Kagome asked as his head turned.

"Do you hear that?"

"Is that…" Kagome pulled out of his arms and sat up, concentrating on the sound. "Are they singing 'Na Na Hey Hey?"

Inuyasha slid out of the bed to cross to the window, and Kagome took a moment to appreciate his very, very sculpted form as he moved.

"You aren't going to believe this… they are dancing." He turned back to her, his eyes excited. "They are dancing in the fucking streets."

Kagome rose to join him, smiling as his arms slid around her waist to hold her against him. "Wanna go join them?" she asked, tilting her head up to see the childlike joy reflected there as he smiled broadly.

"Abso-fucking-lutely!"

Ten minutes later they left Inuyasha's townhome, running to join the dancing around them. No one knew who they were or how hard they had worked on the election; they were just two people, celebrating with hundreds of others, secretly enjoying the fruits of their hard work. Someone had set up a DJ table, and had started to blast music through the streets. Kagome held Inuyasha's shoulders tightly when, with a joyous laugh, he picked her up and spun her around. With a grin he set her down, pulling her into the throngs.

The energy of the crowd was contagious; the pair got caught up in the celebration for hours, wrapped in each other's arms as they danced and laughed and partied down the streets of Brooklyn. At some point people had brought out bottles of champagne, popping the bottles open and spraying the crowd. Inuyasha pulled the tie out of his hair to let the strands free as he shook his hair, letting liquid fly off him.

Groups of people continued to dance around them and Inuyasha held Kagome tightly against him, kissing her deeply, dipping her backwards to cat calls and hoots from the crowd. As he raised her up, she trailed a hand over his torso as her hips rocked to the music. Inuyasha quickly followed her movements. With a wink she spun, and he quickly stepped forward to bring her back flush against him as they danced, his hands tracing her hips as she raised a hand to stroke his ear. She felt the rumble that went through him a second before his hand left her hips to shift her hair off one shoulder; the feel of his lengthening claws made her shiver as she felt him stiffen against her. He dropped a kiss to her shoulder, making his way up the column of her neck as her head dropped back to rest against him.

"Wanna continue this in a private celebration?" His voice was husky against her ear, his fingers teasing her stomach.

Kagome turned her head to him to pull him into a kiss, her tongue tracing over his fangs as he groaned. Her fingers stroked his ear as she caught his lip with her teeth, and she felt the tremor that went through him.

"I thought you would never ask," she whispered as she released his lip. She slipped out of his arms to reach back, lacing her fingers through his to pull him through the crowd and back towards his townhouse.

The golden light of the sunset washed over her features as they walked, and Inuyasha felt his heart stutter and fall the rest of the way at her feet. When they reached the door of his home, he drew her close, drawing in the scent that was uniquely Kagome mixed so intimately with his. He tilted her head up to him, bending down to kiss her, worshiping her with his mouth, telling her without words how much she meant to him.

No, he would never regret walking away from his job to work on the campaign, because that was what had brought her into his life.
