Chapter 10 – The Dance
Rin could only look up at Sesshomaru is disbelief. And Sesshomaru looked down at his sweet Rin.
"I'm sorry I'm late my lady," Sesshomaru said. He held out his hand and bowed at his middle.
"All is forgiven," Rin replied stepping forward holding up her hand. Sesshomaru took it happily and placed his other arm around her waist. Rin put her other hand on his shoulder.
They started dancing but neither of them knew for sure if there was music playing or not. For Rin it felt like there was no other person around them. It was just her and Sesshomaru. Rin couldn't stop smiling, every time she looked up at Sesshomaru, a smile would spread across her face.
"Where were you?" Rin finally asked. She was happy that he showed up, but too curious as to why he was late. It wasn't like him at all and she had to know. 'I just hope it doesn't ruin this moment.' Her thoughts hoped.
"I was held up," Sesshomaru replied casually. Rin continued to stare at Sesshomaru, waiting for more information, but Sesshomaru relented. "A group of demon thugs stopped me, there was a little fight but it took longer than I expected," he concluded.
"Are you ok?" Rin asked worried. She started looking up and down his body examining him for injuries.
"Yes I'm fine," Sesshomaru answered. "Really, I am fine," he repeated himself when Rin continued to look for a wound. A loud sound of clapping intruded their little world. All the guests were applauding the new couple. They looked at each other and together broke themselves from the dance they shared. They walked but up to the pedestal where Kagome, InuYasha, and Kaede waited.
"Do you Lord Sesshomaru; take Rin to be your wife," Kaede asked?
"Yes," Sesshomaru replied, looking into Rin's lovely dark eyes.
"And do you Rin take Lord Sesshomaru to be your husband," Kaede continued?
"Y…y…" Rin stammered, but could only muster a nod as she choked back her tears.
"I pronounce you, Lord and Lady in holy matrimony," Kaede finished. "You may kiss your bride."
Sesshomaru awkwardly leaned down and planted a soft kiss on Rin's lips. A gust of loud cheers and applauses rang up from the crowd.
Sesshomaru picked Rin up and spun her as he continued the kiss. How he missed her sweet lips. He flipped her legs up and carried her bridal style off the pedestal and through the crowd. Rin couldn't be happier. She snuggled in his arms as he walked off down the path.
A little past Kaede's village in a clearing through the forest stood a small cottage.
"Sesshomaru…" Rin wondered when she saw it.
"My gift to you," Sesshomaru explained.
"It's so prefect," She exclaimed. She turned to her new husband and kissed him on his lips. Sesshomaru leaned in the kiss and hugged her closer to his body. Without breaking the connection he opened the door and swung inside; kicking the door closed behind them.
Sesshomaru enjoyed the kiss a little longer, slowing down to a stop.
"Welcome home, my Lady." He said in a whisper against her cheek. He set her down softly on the hardwood floor.
It was a small cozy cottage. Sesshomaru lit a candle and. The low light was prefect to see what was in front of her.
She could see a stove and tub sink in the back, a wooden table separated them and the small kitchen. There was a ladder leading up to a loft. And below the loft stood a bed. Rin's heart began to pound once her eyes settled it.
Sesshomaru picked up the candle and walked over to the quant sleeping area. He removed his coat after setting the candle on the table adjutant to the bed. Rin was frozen in her spot.
Sesshomaru walked over to her; which made her Rin beat even harder. He could only smile. He reached for his young bride.
"Don't be nervous," Sesshomaru said grinning. "It's what you want, right?" Rin again could only nod. She raised her hands and released her hair from the bun and shook her hair free.
"Rin, you are so beautiful," Sesshomaru said in a hoarse voice. He ran his fingers up her neck and through her hair. He cupped her face pulling her lips to his. Instantly all her nervous feelings, all her fear and worried dissolved away.
She melted in his kiss, wrapping her arm around his neck. He was hers, he couldn't run away now, he couldn't turn her down. He made this choice and she would never have to worry about it again.
He led them to the bed. In one movement he lifted her up and swung her around and laid her on the bed gracefully.
"Where are you shoes," Sesshomaru questioned as he begun to undress her.
"I was planning on running away." Rin confessed. "None of those guys that came were you. And I knew I wasn't going to be happy with any of them."Sesshomaru leaped forward meeting her lips with his.
"I am so sorry," he replied in between the quick kisses, "I shouldn't have put you through any of that, and yet I did." He kissed his way down her neck, and across her collar bone. "Can you even forgive me?" she looked in his eyes; her husband's eyes.
"There is one thing you can finish," Rin said feeling her confidence and courage retuning. "You can finish what you started months ago."
He grinned, knowing what she was saying. He stood up at the foot of the bed. His movements in the room made the candle flicker. He kicked off his boots and unbuttoned his shirt. Rin sat up to get a better view.
Sesshomaru removed his shirt completely, exposing his chest and arms. This was the first time she saw him without a shirt and without being heavily distracted. She could only stare at his mismatched arms.
Her vision snapped away and refocused on Sesshomaru's hands as he untied the string to his pants. Rin's eyes were locked on his penis when the fabric fell to the floor. This was the first time she had seen a fully naked man.
Sesshomaru sat on the side of the bed next to Rin, she tried not to stare but that was becoming impossible.
"Your turn," Sesshomaru whispered. Rin's eyes snapped up to his face. His eyes were full of excitement, "I want to see you, Rin."
She got up awkwardly and stood in the same place Sesshomaru did. She untied the sash around her waist. The satin hit the floor making no noise. Rin removed layer after layer, finally reaching the opening of her robe. She moved the soft fabric away from her shoulders.
She slowly exposed her breasts. Sesshomaru eyes were glowing. She loosened her grip and let the satin fall. Sesshomaru let out a low growl. The candle flame went out.
She let his hand wrap around her thin wrist. She felt herself be pulled down to the soft cotton bed. He laid her on her back and moved himself at an angle on top of her. Once she placed Sesshomaru's lips on hers it was like a different person had awakened inside her.
Rin's one hand gripped his shoulder the other laced in his hair. He gripped her hip with one hand and propped himself up with the other. She was moaning inside his mouth and he was pulling her closer to his skin.
He broke the kiss just to move his lips down her neck to her breasts. He took her whole nipple into his mouth. He flicked and licked and nibbled the sensitive area. She moaned with his every movement that he made with his tongue.
Sesshomaru took his hand that rested on her hip and slowly stroked it against her towards the inside of her leg. His touch set her on fire. He barely pushed her legs apart when she split them completely. He growled at her eager gestures.
He slid a finger inside her. She let out a loud cry in pleasure. He moved in and out of her, careful not to scratch her with his nails. Her hand snapped away from his shoulder and was over his hand. She was pushing him deeper.
Sesshomaru looked up at her face. Rin's eyes were closed and she was biting her lower lips. She was breathing hard and letting out a low moan every so often.
Sesshomaru couldn't take another second.
