His eyes constantly searched for the source of that all consuming presence. Even now, he watched as the man that devoured his every thought mingled with the other guests. Yes, it was rude of him to ignore his conversation partner but how could he not?

He watched as those bright eyes widened in amusement before looking up to see him staring. He felt slightly ashamed that he was caught staring but watching those tempting lips smile at him chased those notions away.

He raised his glass in greeting toward him and the other responded similarly. Perhaps he should walk over and greet him properly. The decision was made for him when the man walked forward towards him.

That beautiful form, it was never boring watching him move.

"Its been a while, Sesshomaru. A pleasure to see in good health." A hand extended towards him.

"It has. A pleasure to see you in good health as well." He shook it and it took all his self control to not drag the other towards him and show him just how much Sesshomaru was pleased to see him.

"You have changed. Much more mellow."

The proximity was intoxicating.

Every breath, every caress, every word. Holding on and savoring the moment was all he could do when assaulted by his presence.

A consuming heat shot up through his being and all he could do was hold on as he tried to control himself. It took everything in him to not jump the man before him.

"It was a necessary change in order to adapt to the rapid growth of the humans Kaname. Your notes on the future helped immensely Priest."

The urge to submit would not waver. His outward appearance did not hint to it but Sesshomaru wished nothing more than to bare his neck and body to this man...the only one to ever make him feel this way.

Kaname POV

Never had temptation looked so right. He looked at the creature before him with barely hidden want. If there was ever a point in his existence that he wanted to dominate a man so thoroughly, it was now.

His tongue danced behind his lips as he savored the need for submission he could see dancing behind the fair headed lord. Perhaps he should show him how much the attraction was reciprocated.

"You have changed as well. You are not following my half-breed brother as you used to. This one is curious to why."

The distraction of conversation was a blessing and a curse as well. It stopped his thoughts of completely dominating him but other thoughts of hearing that delectable baritone chanting his name in euphoric pleasure popped up.

"I realized that he was not what I desired."

"And what is it that you desire?"

'You.'

"Something more refined. Elegant in design. And completely willing to be mine. Your brother it seems, wasn't ready for that. Pity."

He felt his conversation partners voice tilt with realization.

"Understandable. Inuyasha has always been a disappointment."

Kaname noticed the dance floor filling with participants. He glanced at Sesshomaru to notice the slightly wistful look in his eye.

"Dance with me."

He stopped for a moment at his own words then...eased as he saw the pleased surprise in the eyes of the one who haunted his lust-filled dreams. Unexpected but not unwanted.

He nodded and placed his glass down. The sway in his hips beckoned him to join. Placing his glass next to Sesshomaru's, Kaname prowled after him grabbing him by the waist and pulling him towards himself as he reached the middle of the floor.

Gen. POV

The music changed to a tantalizing tango as if sensing the atmosphere between them.

The body language; changing to a passionate intensity, increasing the already heavy attraction and lust towards each other. The movement; fluid and smooth as if two were made into one was the synchronization that was seen. The little touches in between; such sinful temptation with both tiptoeing the line of appropriateness while in public.

With each moment they continued dancing, the heat between them increased to almost unbearable levels. Abruptly, they both stopped, noticing the audience around them. The looked at each other in silent communication before bowing to the audience and walking back to where their conveniently refilled drinks were located.

Sesshomaru POV

He sipped his from his glass in an effort to cool his body down but the proximity of the reason he was so heated made it hard to stave off the lust that afflicted him.

Never one to step away from a challenge, he glanced suggestively to the other before walking towards the doors. He was satisfied when he felt him follow.

Slipping into a dark room off tho the side of the hall they were walking towards, he grabbed the other man by the tie dragging him into the room with him ad slamming him on the wall.

"You have caused me much grief. I think you ought to be punished."

Kaname POV

Kaname smirked and proceeded to turn the tables on the silver haired lord.

Never losing momentum, he kissed the other slowly at first then forcibly coaxing the other as the lips he was kissing refused to respond. He let out a smug rumble at the back of his throat when Sesshomaru returned his kiss after tentatively wrapping his arms around his head.

"I think we both know where this is headed. Unless you have any objection, I will ravage and claim you."

Sesshomaru let out an impatient noise from the back of his throat before pulling him close and kissing him passionately once again.

"Be quiet and fuck me priest."

Kaname smirked victoriously. Finally, he has what he had always wanted. Without wasting another moment, he began to divest his soon to be claimed mate of his clothes.

"As you wish...my mate."
