Chapter five: The tension crescendos

May I?" He asked softly, just moments from her pillowy pink lips. Inuyasha felt her heart begin to race and the blush across her cheeks told him all he needed to know. His golden eyes followed her chestnut brown orbs, searching his face as if trying to memorize every pore. Suddenly, she pushed herself up onto her toes and pressed her lips to his. To his surprise she not only initiated the contact between their mouths, she also closed her eyes and pushed further into the kiss, her fingers exploring his locks. Inuyasha let his heavy lids shut and focused on enjoying the moment. The sensation of her tiny gentle fingers brushing his sensitive ears, forced a grizzly moan up from his core. The royal half demon felt the vibration from his whine shutter down her whole body, his arousal climbed at an alarming rate, peaking when the mischievous woman slid her tongue into his mouth. Inuyasha could feel himself slipping, falling into the pit of his baser instincts.

I could remove this dress easily, one claw is all it would take. The king ran a claw up the back of her dress and returned her eagerly plundering tongue with his own, wrestling for dominance and giving her plump bottom lip a slight nibble. He found his hand shifting to lace clawed fingers in her braided crown, deepening the already involved kiss. Kagome pushed back, taking the king's breath with her, the frustration of their interrupted smooch awoke the beast caged inside him. Sheer willpower kept him from pouncing on her and taking her right there, Inuyasha swallowed the flash of overwhelming lust that bubbled up inside him.

How long could he keep this up? She was already stepping away from him, how would things go if he advanced on her the way he longed too? She looked so vulnerable, standing there with doe eyes, lips swollen from his amours treatment. Her blush was still illuminated by the moonlighting and the fireflies that fluttered behind her made her appear almost ethereal. To his own surprise, Inuyasha reached his hand out to her.

"Come with me." He asked, other hand gesturing to the door at his side. Did he just ask her to come to bed with him? What was happening? He could just take her, it didn't matter if she wanted too. A vision of himself throwing her petite body over his broad shoulder and carrying her off to bed furthered his urgent need for her. The vision altered to one of her sad and frightened face underneath him. His heart sank at this thought.

I do not wish to harm her. I would much prefer her needy moans to her cries.

He thought to himself, rationalizing his actions to his demonic influence. Kagome's head shook softly as if to weakly say no, but the king could smell her arousal. As if she knew this fact, she shifted away from him, unknowingly making it harder for him to remain stagnant.

"Please." Inuyasha asked again, extending his hand further and taking a step towards her. The hanyou poured all of his craving and lust filled need into his look as he gazed at her, practically pleading with his golden oculus. The efforts seemed to pay off when the raven haired beauty took a step in his direction and reached out her own hand to join his. Fingers interlaced, Inuyasha used this contact to pull her in once again, actively trying to envelop her entire being with a kiss.

This time the king took the lead, forcing his tongue onto hers. There was no struggle, she relinquished full control to him. Inuyasha took this surrender thoroughly and lowered his hands to her waist, scooping an arm underneath her legs and lifting her off the ground. Without breaking the kiss, the king carried Kagome to the doorway. Her tiny hand fumbled blindly for the door handle, finally finding it and pushing open the door.

Arriving at his destination, Inuyasha laid her fragile figure down gently, finally breaking their kiss. There she was, on his bed, her face totally crimson, staring back up at him, she was his at last. Leaning down over her, the king reached his hand to the tie that bound her dress and pulled on the string. Watching in the tie unravel brought him great pleasure, even more so when he moved to loosen the laces. The velvet red gown fell slack on her shoulders and he got a glimpse of her bare cleavage, so close he could reach out and grab it. Kagome pushed the fabric down her shoulders and freed her arms. Inuyasha watched her breath quicken when his hands moved to pull her dress off her legs, lifting her bottom to help relieve herself of the gown. The white undergarment clung to the skin around her breasts and her waist. Inuyasha caught a glimpse of her pink pebbled nipples beneath the thin fabric. Moving in he kissed her jawline, down to her neck, leaving a tiny bite before moving on to her collarbone. Kagome's breath shifted into gasps and quiet moans.

Would she be cross with me if I left marks? The king thought to himself, hesitation barring him from marking her permanently. Despite his reservations, his mouth pulled and sucked her skin, nibbling ever so slightly and soothing the bite with a lick and kiss. Kagome moaned louder when his fangs nipped at her flesh, escalating his libido to its peak. Clawed hands pushed the woman back by her shoulders and Inuyasha climbed on top of her, hands on either side of her surprised face. Suddenly, this vixenish woman reached up to grab his silver clad head and pulled him into another kiss.

Inuyasha moved his hand up to her right breast and kneaded with earnestness, taking time to pinch and twist at her nipple through the sheer cloth. Kagome's lustful moan drove him over the top, he reacted by grasping her neckline and tearing the nightgown-like dress down the center. Hungrily staring at her fleshy mounds now laid bare for him to tease and titillate however he saw fit.

The raging demon inside of him howled for contact, for a taste of her jasmine scented skin, for the feel of her internal embrace. Eyes wide, breathing heavily, Kagome stared back at him, studying her figure. When her eyes met his own, the hanyou flashed a mischievous smirk before stripping her of the gown completely. Next Inuyasha pulled his shirt over his head and immediately bent down to take her nipple into his mouth.

"Ah ahhhh, y-your ma-majesty" Kagome cried out, clutching her hands to his greedy head, holding onto his mane. The king brought his eyes up to meet hers, staring at her a moment before attacking her neck with his fangs and trailing his hand down past her breast, to her moist lips below. A delicate hand stopped him.

"Be gentle with me, your highness." Kagome asked softly, blush deepening. Inuyasha's clawed hand interlocked their fingers and he brought them up to his face.

"Please, call me Inuyasha." He said before placing a kiss on her hand and leaving it behind for his intended destination. Snaking back down her soft skin, around the curve of her breast and over the valley of her belly. Slowly moving into her slit, gently pressing on the round nub that lay there.

"Ah, Inuyasha!" Screams of sudden pleasure emanated from the squirming woman beneath him. Hearing his name moaned out as he worked small circles with his finger, louder each time he alternated pressure. This was everything that he needed, everything he wanted and so much more. The urge to feel her from the inside, grew larger by the second, he couldn't wait any longer. Sliding his finger down, the king took away her breathily moans with a kiss as he focused on her opening, rubbing in tiny circles. Inuyasha pulled back from her to look into her eyes, trying to gage her readiness for him to move further. Her slight nod was enough and with a smirk, Inuyasha focused his attention on her neck, trying his hardest not to mark her as his own, as he moved to insert his eager finger.

Boom

"My lord!" The doors of his chamber came flying open, freezing the couple's amorous behavior. Inuyasha turned and snapped at the interruption, eyes glowing red and fangs bared.

"Get out!" He snarled at the intruder, malice dripping from his words.

"Your highness, lord Sesshomaru has returned. He has requested your presence." The messenger bowed before speaking. The sound of that name snapped Inuyasha out of his fit of rage.

He is back? He thought to himself, he felt Kagome shift beneath him. Returning his gaze to her, he remembered how exposed she was. She wiggled trying to cover herself with the sheets bunched up around them.

"Tell him I shall be right there." Inuyasha said, moving to cover Kagome's naked form and dismissing the messenger. Alone again, Inuyasha removed himself from her body and sat facing away from her on the bed. What should he say? Why was his brother here so soon? Why now? Inuyasha struggles to find any words. Only one came to mind.

"Sorry." He whispered, hanging his head. What else could he say? As much as he wished to continue, Sesshomaru couldn't, or wouldn't wait. Inuyasha started to stand when soft arms snaked around his waist and gave him a squeeze.

"It is alright, please do not be sorry." He heard her say softly, resting her head against his back. Inuyasha grabbed her hand and sighed, he would have to go see what his big brother thought was so important but nothing was more important to him in that moment.

"I must leave you, will you wait for me?" He asked, turning his head but still not able to see her face. He felt her head nod against his shoulder blade.

"I shall try, but...um, do you think I could get something to wear?" Inuyasha was suddenly reminded of her naked figure and torn clothes.

"Of course, I will have your handmaiden come at once." The king chuckled and stood, reaching for his cupboard doors, pulling out a shirt and tugging it over his head.

He turned to face Kagome, wrapped in white silk sheets on his bed, face still flushed. Inuyasha smirked at her, envisioning her face just moments before, moaning out his name. The king then turned and made his way to the door, grabbing his crown that sat in a pedestal beside the door.

"Best of luck." He heard her squeak out before he exited the room.

This better be good, big brother.
