Chapter 7: So Close Yet So Far
-o-0-o-
The second she entered my office, the entire room immediately filled with her scent once again. Suddenly, I didn't want Ms. Kaede in the room just for the mere fact that her old lady perfume was getting in the way of Ms. Higurashi's scent. I gripped the arm rest of my leather chair as I told Ms. Kaede to leave the room. Why does this wretched woman make me behave so strangely? She walked in and as I told her to have a seat, I debated on whether I should be more professional and have this interview face to face. The answer was obvious but the problem? If I face her now the constant flow of her scent to my nose would be more direct and I wasn't sure if I wanted to go there. I can't let her get to me like this dammit, I am Sesshomaru! The very fact that I had to contemplate this made me feel what I'm sure could be weakness. A feeling I've never felt before… until now.
I turned in my seat and folded my hands together on my desk. My face completely composed though on the inside -dare I admit it- I was struggling. I took in her features. She had long jet, black hair contrasting her creamy fair skin. Her full, pink lips were slightly parted and her smoldering, exotic brown eyes studied my face. I had to force myself not to get lost in those eyes as I asked her a basic question. "So, tell me, why do you think you're best suited for this job?" I received no reply except for the warm smell of arousal mixing in with her already overwhelming scent. I tensed. She was… aroused? I nearly smiled. It doesn't take much for me to turn a human woman on, but I could care less about how human women felt about me anyway. So, I couldn't comprehend why at the current moment, I was pleased to no end by this revelation. Why was she so… different? How could she be any different from any other human woman in this building? In the city? In the world? It was like I could feel some kind of electric energy emanate from her. Something I've never felt from any other human being in all my years of living. She wasn't a demon or even partial demon. That I knew for certain, but her presence seemed to pulsate. Is she somehow more than human, yet not of demon blood? I came out of my thoughts when I realized she hadn't yet responded to my question. I raised a brow. "Ms. Higurashi, is there a problem?"
"Sorry sir, could you please repeat the question?" I watched as she quickly crossed her legs, wafting the scent of her arousal in my direction. I held my breath. I cannot sit here like this anymore. I need to end this interview and I need it to end now! Just like that, the ten question interview I had prepared flew out the window and I simply repeated the question.
"Tell me why you think you're best suited for the job." I said, again. She spoke but I didn't listen. I couldn't listen. If I were to describe what was going on with me now, I'd say I was damn near intoxicated. She was hired the moment she walked in anyway. Even after I swore to myself that I wouldn't hire her. I haven't been able to understand my actions recently which greatly pissed me the hell off. However, I decided last night that I'd put aside my internal feud and hire her for her skills instead. When I realized she had finished talking, I took another look at her resume and pretended to deliberate as if I had heard every word she said. "You're hired." I said finally. She looked surprised and she didn't move or say a word. I suddenly wanted her out of my office immediately. The sooner she left, the sooner I could get back to being my normal self. "Did you hear what I said? I said you're hired. You may leave now. I expect you here 9am sharp tomorrow morning. I will provide you with an official schedule. Arrive late and you will be penalized. Understood?"
She thanked me and got up to leave. I couldn't help but notice the natural sway of her hips, the long legs and god help me, I was completely caught off guard by an ass that could rival that of my wife. I had to admit, she looked pretty damn good for a pathetic human. I shook my head. No… I can't stand for this every day. Her scent is a distraction enough. So, I had to come up with the perfect solution. She opened the door, but I sprung out of my seat and reached her within mere seconds, slamming the door closed in front of her. I was a lot closer than I intended to be. I was overwhelmed at the proximity of her and just that alone irritated me. "I failed to mention the rules to you."
"The rules?" She asked. I wanted to make sure that when she arrived to work tomorrow, she would be dressed as unappealing as possible without raising any suspicions. So, I instructed her to wear attire that I figured wouldn't be so attractive to me. Was it wrong? Maybe. But I had to do something to prevent this unusual behavior I've had lately. After telling her that I prefer my coffee black, I dismissed her and sat at my desk gripping the edge of it and groaning when I realized a familiar stiff feeling in my pants. What have I done?

I stormed into my house slamming the door so hard the walls shuttered. "Kagura! Kagura get your ass down here NOW!" I yelled, frustrated. After I hired Ms. Higurashi I ordered that no one disturb me at work. I knew that I wasn't myself and I couldn't understand why she was the cause of it. Yea she smelled good, but why was I so… drawn to her? Why couldn't I get her off my mind? Then it dawned on me. It was because of my wife. I started acting like this ever since my wife started to play this dangerous game with me.
"I'm just craving what I'm lacking at home. Nothing more." I told myself then. I looked up the stairs as a maid quickly ran down the steps and bowed her head not just out of respect but to hide the flush on her face. I once overheard her and a maid in the next room whispering their latest gossip to each other only to find that they both had a silly little crush on me even though one of them was married with children. I had to go upstairs to avoid the more vulgar parts when they shared their fantasies. Not a conversation I cared to overhear. Of course as always, I had no interest in human women. She folded her yellow rubber gloved hands together in front of her.
"My apologies Lord Sesshomaru but Lady Kagura has gone out." She said in a small voice. I growled in annoyance.
"Did she say where she was going?" I barely got the words past my gritted teeth.
"No, she hasn't my Lord."
"Very well then." I said finally, and she did a quick curtsy before disappearing back up the stairs. I sighed as I walked into my large living room rubbing the bridge of my nose between my thumb and index finger. I threw my briefcase onto the sofa and loosened up my tie. "Display TV." I called out to the empty room and I watched as the giant painting of a white dog demon slid out of place and into a compartment in the wall. Another section of the wall opened and my 72 inch plasma flat screen tv slid out horizontally fitting itself flat in place of the absent painting. "Tv on." And the television turned itself on. I made sure to install a voice activation system so that only Kagura and myself could control it. When the tv was on it blared with soap operas. I glared at the screen as if it were its own fault for being on this channel. "Tv mute, Tv guide." And the tv went silent as a guide pulled up on the screen. "Tv, scroll down at speed 2." I hadn't watched tv in a very long time and now I remembered why. There was nothing interesting on these days. I don't watch sports and I could care less about orange people living on the shores of New Jersey. I switched from cable to Netflix. Great, now there were too many options to choose from. First world problems… I sighed again and replaced the television with the painting again. Perhaps if I get some work done it would take my mind off things. As I grabbed my briefcase and made my way up the stairs I wondered where my wife was going these days. She always seemed to disappear when I wasn't home.

"Why is your hair wet?" I asked Kagura when she walked through the front door later that evening. She raised an eyebrow.
"I can't go swimming now?" She seemed irritated that I asked. I glared at her.
"What's wrong with our pools?" I asked as I approached her. She smiled and walked into my open arms giving me a peck on my lips, but I grabbed her face and gave her a more heated kiss before she could fully pull away. I felt her shudder under my touch, and I smiled against her lips. I suddenly forgot everything. I picked her up and backed her firmly up against the wall. I grazed her thighs with my nails and she whimpered.
"Nothing's wrong with our pools Sessho-koi. "She purred. "I just wanted to spend the day with Kanna instead of staying home that's all." I paid no attention to what she was saying as I kissed down her neck. I refuse to let her get away this time.
"Shhhh don't say anything." I said in a strained voice as I began to harden again. Relieve me this time dammit! I kissed her more hungrily. This time I will get what I want. I refuse to be denied again. She slid downward out of my arms, but I made sure to keep her pressed firmly against me. She went to her knees and I gripped her hair in my hand as she slid my pants down and my erected member sprung out nearly hitting her in the face. She grabbed it with both hands and licked the length of it forcing a groan past my throat. I used my other hand to pull my hair back to see her. She licked circles around the tip before putting me in her mouth. I writhed with pleasure as she bobbed her head. Although the tip was hitting the back of her throat, I wanted all of me in her mouth. So, I threw my shirt over my head and gripped her hair with both hands as I shoved every last inch down her throat feeling her gag reflexes working over me.
"Fuck… Kagura…" My voice strained as I panted her name. I worked my cock down her throat in slow controlled thrusts until I couldn't hold back any longer. I started to fuck her face hard and fast and she took it like a good girl. That was until a series of noises startled us both and my wife started choking on it. I pulled out and her face turned red as she gripped her throat coughing severely. I looked to the bottom of the stairs to see the maid had fallen all the way down the stairs on her ass. The long skirt of her uniform was lifted up and I could see that her panties were pulled down around her knees. All her cleaning supplies were scattered on the floor and on the steps. She was flushed from head to toe and she bit her lip in embarrassment, pulling her skirts down and looking anywhere but at us. I fully turned around to face her not really caring that I was flashing her while I was still erect. I raised an eyebrow and cocked my head to the side. "Finished cleaning?" I asked. I had caught my breath enough to speak almost normally.
"I… I, uh… I…" She stuttered but nodded when words failed her. "Then you may leave." She nodded again, stood up and gathered her cleaning supplies and waddled toward the front door. She had forgotten to pull her panties back up. Although she couldn't look me in the eyes, her eyes had no problem roaming over my body and she bit her bottom lip again when her eyes rested on my stiff aching piece. She left through the front door without a word. I shook my head and chuckled. "Now where were we?" I asked turning around to find that my wife had disappeared… again. "Fuck, Kagura! Stop toying with me!" I yelled. Then I realized something. Kagura said she went swimming but she didn't smell anything like chlorine.

I finally finished the paperwork I brought home from work and headed upstairs to the bedroom. It was just before 2 in the morning. When I opened the door, I expected my wife to be sleeping but instead she was up reading. She looked up from her book and smiled at me pulling out the covers from my side of the bed for me. I glared at her. Didn't she understand that I was furious with her? I hated when she played nice when she clearly knew I was angry with her. I got into bed and faced away from her without a word.
"Awww, is my doggy mad at me now?" She cooed, moving closer and running her fingers through my hair. Still I didn't respond. I was not in the mood for her games right now. "Well that's too bad! Tonight, may have been the night I gave in. Or maybe not… who knows." I could hear her pleasure in her torturing me. In the nearly 90 years we had been together, this was by far the longest we've ever gone without sex. I had no idea it was this difficult.
"Woman, stop fucking with me! I don't see what you have to gain from this. You're not getting any sex out of this either!" I turned to glare again when I noticed that she grew very still. Her face was completely expressionless. Then without another word she turned the light out on her nightstand and pulled the covers over herself. Now there aren't very many things that confuse me. I almost always know what's going on around me. Right now, I was indeed somewhat confused. Did I hit a soft spot? Maybe this was the key to getting her to give in.
I stroked the soft skin of her shoulder. "You see…" I began. "Last I checked you very much enjoyed sex with me." I trailed kisses from the tip of her shoulder to the lobe of her ear. "And I very much enjoyed seeing the pleasure on your face, the fear in your eyes, the way your body quivered and shook with ecstasy when I pounded my hardness into your sweet little..." I trailed off as I ran my hand down the side of her body beneath the blanket. I reached my destination. That luscious butt I love so much. I slid my hand down her panties and between the slick wetness of her. Her breath hitched in her throat as the pleasure began. I twirled my fingers inside her in circles and a moan spilled out from her lips. I groaned when the sweet scent of her arousal filled my nose. She opened up for me, allowing me to sink my fingers in deeper and hit all the spots I knew set her off. She let out a deep throaty moan that seemed to vibrate through my body and straight to my already throbbing member. This was it. She was finally done toying with me. I was so lost in the moment that I almost didn't hear what she said.
"S-stop. Please, stop Sesshomaru." She whispered in mid-moan. She wanted me to… what! Usually, I'd listen to her wishes, but I didn't want to stop. She had never told me to stop pleasuring her in all of our marriage. I'm tired of being so close. So terribly close yet so far and then denied at the last possible second. It was an incredibly sick game she was playing and I was not going to play along. I wasn't going to just take it. Not anymore. I worked my fingers in her fiercely until she could no longer speak. She moaned and screamed when I brought her over the edge leaking her sweet juices all over my hand and to the sheets beneath her.
When she finally caught her breath, she sat up and glared at me. Now I really am confused. I don't understand this at all. She was angry? "You just don't get it do you?" She asked getting out of bed and putting a bathrobe on. I couldn't answer. What did I say to that? What was there to get? "Here's a hint. Until you get it you won't get anything from me!" She walked to the other side of the room and opened the window. She took a step up onto the windowsill. She looked over her shoulder. "And don't even think about following me." And then she was gone leaving me with my thoughts and the wet sheets beside me.
