Stolen Moment

A gentle caress at the back of her neck slowly roused Sango from sleep. Her eyelids fluttered open, and she found herself looking into her husband's dark blue eyes. He smiled at her, his hand moving to her cheek.

"Good morning, Sango," he whispered.

"Good m—" she started to say, but Miroku pressed a finger gently to her lips.

"Shh…they're still asleep," he murmured softly, with a nod towards the two small bodies nestled beside her. Sango glanced over at the twins, amazed.

"Odd…they're usually waking us up…"

"Exactly," Miroku mumbled in her ear, dragging her close. "They're still fast asleep…"

"What are you thinking?" she asked as he began planting soft, lingering kisses just below her ear. The sensation raised goosebumps on her skin.

"I'm thinking that I haven't been this close to you in months…"

She bit her lip as he moved closer, his hands slipping inside her robe. "Miroku…with the girls right next to us?"

"We'll make it quick…and we'll be quiet…"

She felt her resolve breaking as his hands found her breasts, evoking feelings she hadn't experienced in months. Her hands tangled in his hair, bringing him down for a sweet kiss which he returned wholeheartedly. His sleeping robe fell open around her and she wrapped her legs around his waist, bringing her heat in contact with his.

Sango held her breath as he pushed into her, wanting to cry out. Instead she kept quiet, listening to his breathing become erratic as he started to move. She wrapped her arms around him, burying her face in his neck as he settled into a quick rhythm, panting against her ear.

Sango came first, her legs tightening around his waist. He grunted and followed her a few seconds later. Together they sagged into the bedding, holding each other close.

A moment later, the twins began to shift beside them, and Miroku and Sango scrambled to readjust their robes. They shared satisfied grins as the girls opened their eyes and reached for their parents.

They certainly didn't have as much time alone as they used to, but it was enough—these stolen moments.

Short…but that's why they call it a quickie! Hehehe…
