I still don't own Inuyasha

Sorry it took so long, please read and review.

More smut.

Sesshomaru woke up just a short while later with Melissa in his arms, her warm body pressed against his. He wasn't surprised they had fallen asleep. Melissa hadn't slept well the night before and he hadn't slept at all. And after making love he had felt so relaxed. Did making love always make one feel like that?

He looked at the woman in his arms and caressed her cheek gently. He wanted her again, but he wanted her to rest. He stood and dressed, he left his armor off, but put on his swords. He turned and looked down at her naked form, the air was full of the scent of their sex.

She turned over so she was sprawled on her back. His seed was on her chest and between her legs, marking her as his. His Melissa! His love. His responsibility. He finally understood about his father and Izayoi. He finally understood what his father had wished for him to learn. She was his to protect.

He left the cave, leaving her to sleep. He needed something to occupy his time as they were not leaving. They were almost out of wood and the weather was getting colder. The small sticks she usually gathered would be soaked. While such small sticks were good for a quick camp fire they were not good for a slow, long burning heat source.

He took to the air, but he didn't go far. He couldn't go far with his woman asleep and unguarded in the cave. He quickly found what he sought. The lack of limbs told him the tree had been dead a while and the wood would be well cured, The bark was soaked, but the heartwood would burn well. It had not yet fallen over so had not begun to rot.

He didn't need the whole thing. He cut it off near the base and cut off the top and took the solid trunk back to camp. One elegant flick of the wrist and his whip split it in two lengthwise. Another flick of his wrist and it was in quarters, then he cut it into manageable lengths and took several inside. The whole thing took less than an hour to complete.

What else could he do for her? She would probably want to wash, he knew she was very fastidious. She hated being messy or dirty, she believed it led to sickness. But the water would be like ice and it was widely believed that cold led to illness.

He knew travelers often cooked rice and soup in fresh sections of bamboo. Indeed Rin had made soup in bamboo when they'd traveled together. If bamboo could be used to cook soup it could be used to warm enough water to wash.

There was a stand of large bamboo stalks not to far away from the cave. He chose one as big around as his arm. On the way back he caught a rabbit. He stirred up the fire, and put the rabbit on to cook. That, he knew, would take a while, so he went to fill the bamboo container and her water gourd.

The creek however was very small and shallow. He could not fill the bamboo by submerging it because there simply wasn't a spot deep enough. In the end he ended up using the gourd as a dipper to fill the bamboo. By the time he returned the rabbit had a bit more char on it that Melissa liked.

Ok, make that a lot more char. He tried to cut away the charred bits and discovered why very hot flames are not good for cooking. The outside had burned before the inside got hot enough to cook, it was still raw in the middle. He left it in the woods for a creature with less discriminating tastes and caught another that he cooked slowly.

Melissa looked up at the ceiling, she was in her old bed above the cab of her grandparent's RV. She turned her head to look out her window but the view was obscured by a thick white fog. A yellow powder covered the bed around her, was that pollen? Why was there pollen in her bed? She wondered if her grandparents were up yet.

They were both sitting at the little table when she climbed down. Her grandma was staring at an hour glass and her grandpa was reading the paper. She was about the greet them when something his her in the side of the face. She lifted her hand and felt something slimy. Was that yolk? she wondered as she stared at her hand. She turned to confront the man who threw it, "Josh?"

What the hell was her ex-husband doing here? Her grandparents hated him. He was holding a bowl of eggs. He picked up another egg and lobbed it at her.

"I warned you that man was a bad egg." Her grandmother stated quietly, watching the sand run out.

"I always wished I could hook that boy's nuts to a rope and run him up a flag pole."

"Love and peace, Ray, love and peace. Karma will get him in the end. The universe knows what happened. It knows better than she does."

A third egg hit her, she turned back to her ex to tell him off but in a flash of white and crimson Sesshomaru was between them. Melissa saw her grandmother turn the glass over out of the corner of her eye. Josh took one look at Sesshomaru and ran, dropping the remaining eggs in the process. Sesshomaru caught a few and turned around to offer them to her.

She held out her hands to accept them, there were four or five of them. She thanked him and he nodded in acknowledgment. The one on top shook and started to crack. Then a small hand took the egg off the pile and Melissa looked over to see a flash of golden eyes before the little blonde child turned away and placed a pan as big as she was on the stove. She cracked the egg, it had two yolks,

Melissa smiled and wondered if the girl know double yolks were good luck. Where had she come from anyway? "Sweetie, where are your mommy and daddy?"

The girl didn't answer, she looked back at Melissa over her shoulder. She glanced at Sesshomaru. She silently turned back to her eggs.

Melissa turned to ask her grandma about the girl but her grandparents were gone. Instead there was a pan of half a dozen buns on the table. "Sesshomaru, can you put those buns in my oven for me?" She asked turning away to look in a cupboard.

"It's not ready yet, the oven." The child informed her.

Melissa turned around and switched the oven on to preheat, but it didn't come on. She switched it off and on again but it remained cold. "It will come on when we're ready to bake."

"Just who are you?" She asked the girl. The girl looked at her again with those stunning gold eyes. Melissa reached out to brush the girl's hair back, to see if she had pointed ears. As soon as she touched her everything disappeared, replaced by swirling yellow powder, Sesshomaru and the girl were gone.

"It's time to wake up dear." She felt a soft tongue caress her lips. She felt Sesshomaru's tongue on her lips again and parted them so that his tongue slipped into her mouth. He was straddling her naked hips and she could feel him through his hakama. She began to grow wet, and her desire turned him on as they kissed passionately. Then the smell of cooked meat reached her nose and he stomach reminded her she hadn't eaten that morning, loudly.

"Sorry." She told him, smiling sheepishly.

"Do not be." He responding pulling her up to a seated position.

She stretched her arms above her head then spotted the rabbit roasting over the fire. "You cook rabbit?"

"A minor but necessary task. You missed your morning meal because you were busy satisfying my desires. As your alpha and your mate it is my responsibility to see to your needs. It would have been irresponsible on my part to allow you to go much longer without the nourishment your human body requires." His tone was matter of fact, but she could see in his eyes he was proud of himself for taking such good care of her.

"My desire also." She told him, hugging him tightly. She then took the rabbit from the fire and took a bite. It was pretty good if he was attempting to make jerky. She didn't have the heart to tell him he'd overcooked it and it was tough and dry. She smiled and chewed her way through the meal with frequent sips of water.

Sesshomaru set the full bamboo container in the fire pit, nestling it into some hot ashes near the glowing embers. "This water is for you to wash with. It should be warm by the time you finish eating. I am going to patrol the area." As soon as he was gone she pulled off the toughest parts of bunny meat and tossed them into the flames.

When he returned he saw her at the entrance to the cave with the steaming bamboo. She hadn't wanted to risk water splashing on their possessions. She set it down and pulled off hr kimono her skin was immediately covered in goosebumps and her nipples became hard as she splashed water on her face.

Sesshomaru watched her from the shadows of the trees as she splashed water on her chest, rinsing away his seed. She washed under her arms and breasts then tilted the container to pour warm water into her hand to splash up between her legs, cleaning his essence from her flower. Once that was done she poured the remaining water slowly over her head and shoulders, letting it flow down her back and belly, rinsing away sweat and smoke. She grabbed her kimono and hurried back inside.

He followed her and saw her set the bamboo against the wall then hold her hands over the fire. She began singing on of her little American songs, shaking her naked booty as she did. She continued to sing and wiggle her body as she stepped around the fire and fixed their bed. She shook the blanket out and kicked the leaves back into a pile, laying it out on top.

She jumped when he placed her hands around her waist. He announced himself and buried his nose in her hair before he began to kiss her neck. She had only just washed his seed from her body but he wanted to fill her with it again.

He didn't tell her this, he didn't have to. She could feel his hard cock against her ass. She turned around and placed her arms around him. She kissed him and pressed her body against his. She pulled his obi loose and slid his kimono from his shoulders. Then she loosened his hakama and let them fall down around his ankles.

She smiled at him then lay down on the blanket, spreading invitingly. "Do as you wish."

He wished to do everything to her and wasn't sure where to start. He knelt down and decided to enjoy her flavor before he flooded her womb again. He knelt between her thighs and began to lick up her sweet juices. She tasted amazing and he loved listening to her moan and whimper as he drove her to orgasm with his mouth.

He kissed up her body as she lay in the afterglow and captured her lips. They continued to kiss passionately then she pressed her hands firmly against his chest. He was curious so he allowed her to push him over on to his back. She lay on top of him, kissing his ears and neck as his cock continued to grow harder. She paused and stroked his face until he looked up at her. "Sesshomaru, I love you also."

So she had heard his words that morning as they drifted off. He hadn't meant to speak them, but he had not spoken falsely either. "Melissa, such words are difficult for me to utter. Do not expect to hear them again, I can not assure you you will. Just know they were true."

She smiled and kissed him again. She kissed and nibbled his ear and neck. Then to his surprise she began licking down his chest and closed her lips around his soft brown nipple. He loved her nipples and knew sucking them gave her pleasure but never thought about his own. It felt amazing!

"Ohh my dearest. I want to mount you." He moaned as she continued to suck and lick.

"No." She whispered as she icked across to the other one. The pressure in his cock increased with every soft stroke of her tongue.

"Ohhhh, Melissa, please. Please I must mount you now." He begged. He didn't want to take her without consent. He would not do that to his beloved. But he didn't know how much longer he could take this exquisite torture without release.

She had been waiting for him to beg. She swung a long leg over his hip and lowered herself on to his thick cock. She mounted him! She mounted him and began to ride him hard!

It was amazing! He stared up at her in awe, watching her gorgeous breasts bounce and swing as she moved against him. He stroked her legs and hips as she moved against him. He panted and moaned as her hot body engulfing his cock began to tighten.

He slid his hands up her tight belly to grab those amazing tits. She grabbed his hands and forced them down, 'pinning' them on either side of his head. He allowed her to take control and realized he liked it!

She shuddered and trembled as her orgasm crashed over her. She screamed his name over and over. "Sesshomaru! Sesshomaru! Oh god, yes! Yes! Yes! Sesshomaru! Sesshoma-ahhh-ahhhhhh!"

He moaned her name as she continued to ride him. "Melissa, oh Melissa, my love! That's amazing Melissa."

She collapsed against him and lay trembling and panting on his chest for a few minutes. Then She began to moved against him again, rocking her hips. He hadn't cum yet and she was going to make sure he did.

He wrapped his arms tightly around her and rolled so that her small frame was pinned beneath his. He had more stamina that she did. He began to pound into her tight pussy, hard and fast. Her body built up to an orgasm again and they came together, as one. Breathing hard he rolled of of her and pulled her to his chest.

Once they caught their breath he sat up and pulled her into his lap. He held and caressed her as they watched the flames flicker and dance. "I have something for you." He remembered suddenly.

He moved her from his lap and retrieved the dried paper package. He presented it to her with both hands and she accepted it the same way. "Traditionally you would open the gift once I had left, but I intend to go nowhere for some time. You may open it now if you wish."

"Oh! Sesshomaru, is beautiful!" She exclaimed holding the necklace in her hands examining the colorful misshapened pearls. "Is to much!"

"I disagree." He replied taking it from her hands and placing it around her neck. "You are not used to opulence. This must change. I doubt it has escaped your notice that I enjoy giving gifts to those I care about. I plan to spoil you."

"I thought package was gift for Rin. Jaken go get Rin gift?" She asked as he pulled her back into his lap.

"No. He is to retrieve another necklace and present it as a gift to my mother on my behalf. A task that should take many days. A task to allow us to spend time alone together.

I will obtain a gift for Rin before we return to Inuyasha's village, however I will not give her a gift quite so extravagant. I do not wish to create excessive jealousy among her peers. Nor do I wish her to be dissatisfied with gifts her husband will one day give her.

My original intent was to attempt to find her a husband from a noble family. One who could provide her with a luxurious life. But she seems very happy where she is and I do not wish to take her from people she has grown to care about. I feel it might be better to have her wed to one of the young men in Inuyasha's village. A farmer will not be able to afford much."

"You choose her husband?"

"She is my ward. Where her father or brother alive they would choose. In their absence the responsibility of choosing her a decent husband is mine."

"She not get to choose? What if she not love him? What if she is unhappy?" She asked with obvious concern.

"I have no need to use her for political power. I will not force her to marry a man she does not believe she can learn to love. If she has a preference I will take that into account, however I will not allow her to choose a young man who I believe would bring her pain or dishonor. It is my wish that she lives a happy life."

She wrapped her arms tightly around him and snuggled into his mokomoko. He stroked her cheek and licked her forehead. "Melissa, I wish to make love with you for the rest of your days if you permit me to. Is this acceptable to you?"

"Yes. I love you Sesshomaru. I want be with you always."

"Youkai with sensitive noses will smell my seed on you and within your body. You will be given a title. As having a choice is so important to you I will let you decide which, do you wish to be known as my concubine or my wife?"
