So, again, sorry about the lateness guys, again life finds a way... yuck.
I hope you guys like it!
Fingers clicked over the keys of the computer as the demon wrote out what he hoped was his last e-mail to another potential investor, and getting one more thing done from his list of infinite tasks. His hands rubbed his face, thankful that he at least had his study to garner a moment's peace; since his mother's arrival, she had done almost nothing but complain. At first it was over Rin's cooking, prompting the demon to hire a chef for her, then it was over that the young woman was interfering with her work, taking the laptop from her grasp or placing the cellphone away during lunch and dinner time which she took alone. Though the demon attributed it to her legs, he suspected she was using it as an excuse.
"Sesshomaru?"
The demon was grateful for the soft knock and the timid call, his mother knowing not to interrupt his work, she thinking it one of the most important things.
"Rin," the demon murmured as the young woman slipped into the room, the door shutting softly behind her.
"Hey," she smiled kindly at him, "how are you?"
"Alright," the demon sighed, "and yourself?"
Sesshomaru's mother was careful never to talk about Rin to him nor to her around him, leaving the demon to be weary of the elder's behaviour.
"I'm fine," Rin told him, her body coming to stand beside his chair, the cup and saucer she carried in placed on the side of his desk.
"How's my mother treating you?" Sesshomaru asked softly, his eyes looking up to hers, a certain tiredness in his amber.
"Fine," Rin murmured, "the doctor's in with her now-"
"Rin," the demon interrupted, "I know my mother, you don't need to appease me."
At this she paused, her mouth open slightly before she closed it, shoulders sagging as she sighed.
"She's not… the most agreeable person," the young woman chose her words carefully, "but she's been through a lot so it's understandable-"
"No it's not," Sesshomaru stopped her, his hands on the desk as he pushed himself up, "I've told her-"
"Sesshomaru!" Rin retorted, "she's your mother!"
"So you've said-"
"And I'll say it a million times more until it gets through that thick head of yours," she responded without a hint of malice, "I can handle myself; I'll be okay."
Trying to protest, the demon found his energy drain all from him as he sighed deeply, his body returning to his chair.
"I suppose."
Rin seemed stunned; the demon was never one to concede, not even to her. True he'd agree to some request she'd make, but when they argued he was as stubborn as she, being firm on his positions.
"Sesshomaru?" Rin tried quietly, her fingertips reaching to come to his forehead, "are you alright?"
Turning to look up at her, the demon's own hand covered hers, his lips curling into a small smile.
"I'm fine as long as I have you," he murmured, enjoying the flush that crept over her cheeks.
"Are you tired?" she teased, her body coming to rest on the edge of his desk.
"Yeah," the demon conceded, "haven't been sleeping well lately."
"So I've noticed," the young woman giggled for a moment before she turned understanding, "you can always take a break, work on one thing at a time."
"It's not that easy," Sesshomaru murmured, an arm around his shoulders both shocking and silencing him.
"I know," Rin whispered, "but… you're going to burn yourself out at this rate," her lips pressed to his temples, "please take it slow."
Again he looked up to her, the demon wondering how a woman could both seem so fragile and yet so strong at the same time, how her eyes could be so gentle and yet so stubborn, how she could be so wise and yet fall for him so easily. Slowly, his fingertips ran up the back of her thigh before ghosting to her back, the gentle pressure he exerted bringing her body to his lap.
"Sesshomaru?"
"Shh," the demon murmured, his lips against the flesh of her collarbone, "just let me have this moment."
"Aren't you supposed to be working?" Rin asked teasingly.
"Perhaps," he smirked, "but I don't care."
"Sesshomaru, I'm not being a distraction-"
"Both a willing one and one I am grateful for," Sesshomaru told her, his fingers reaching to the straps of her shirt, gently tugging them down to reveal the creamy shoulder.
"Sesshomaru," Rin tried once more, "I don't want to be a distraction, if everything's so busy for you-"
"Let me have this," the demon repeated as he nipped and kissed at her flesh, fingers slowly coming to his scalp, Rin sighing as she let his lips treat him.
Sesshomaru was always a stern worker, always focused in the office or in his study and Rin, knowing he ran a company, understood how much time he needed to dedicate to his career, meaning that she tried to be as less of a distraction as possible for him, hating to think that she was the reason a file wasn't handed in or a call wasn't returned.
"Sesshomaru…"
Her voice was breathy and soft, the tone making the demon unconsciously shiver with want as his hands pressed her closer to his form, his tongue and teeth skimming over her collarbone, his fingers pulling down the top even further, revealing her lacy black bra to his wanting eyes.
"I like the fact that you've started wearing these," Sesshomaru whispered, his fingers trailing up underneath the back of her shirt, the tips reaching to touch the straps of her bra, chuckling at the blush on her cheeks. "Rin," he murmured, his lips reaching to press against hers, "my beautiful Rin."
The young woman hummed as she kissed him, her hands coming to the side of his cheeks. She would never have pictured herself looking and acting like this, wearing lingerie fit for models and acting like an excited teenage girl around the demon; yet, every complement he bathed her in, the crook of his lips as he undressed her and the lustful glint in his eye made her forget her insecurities when it came to intimacy.
Hand and mouth worshiped her, the demon slowly peeling off her shirt, letting the material pool around her hips as he fiddled with the straps, his tongue finding the valley of her breasts, her long hair falling over his as small squeaks slipped from her lips. Her fingers tightened on the back of his shirt while she took shuddering breaths, her demon lover continuing his trail down her body.
"Not fair," the young woman whimpered, "you're being mean."
"Am I?" the demon knowingly teased, his head turning to meet her brown eyes, the bridge of her nose dusted with red, "my apologies," he breathed as his voice ghosted over her lips.
"Sesshomaru."
Both young adults froze at the stern voice, the two feeling like caught children. Turning, both sets of eyes landed on the demon's mother, her own face impassive.
The dusting of red turned into a deep red traversing all over her face and even the back of her ears. Holding in her scream, Rin's arms clasped around her body; slipping off the demon's lap and trying to get her bra and shirt back on her, doing her best to ignore the eyes of the demon woman staring at her.
"Mother," Sesshomaru started, his voice more irritated than embarrassed, "what do you want? I thought you were with your doctor?"
"My doctor finished his visit," the demon woman informed him, "I wanted to discuss what he told me."
"Right," her son nodded, Rin still red as she moved past him before slipping around his mother, a muttered apology slipping past her lips before she ducked out of the room, ignoring the glare she received.
"I thought you were working," InuKimi told him as soon as the door shut behind Rin.
"I was," Sesshomaru murmured, still hiding his embarrassment, "but… Rin and I-"
"She shouldn't be distracting you," the demon woman chastised, "and you shouldn't let her."
"Rin did not distract me," the younger defended, hating that he felt like a teenage boy caught in his room with his girlfriend, "I'd rather not have this discussion with you."
"If you're working, you should focus your entire attention on the work at hand," the woman pressed, "you should not be indulging her every whim."
"I do not-"
"She was in your lap-"
"Mother," Sesshomaru interrupted, "this is not a conversation I want to be having right now."
"Still-"
"I initiated, if you must know," the demon finally blurted out, hating how he had to admit to his own mother an aspect of his sex life.
The silence was uncomfortable for the younger, his throat forcing down his humiliation before he sat back down.
"What did the doctor say?" he asked, hoping to avoid any further embarrassment.
Maintaining her haughty attitude, the demon woman turned to her son, relaying what her doctor told her.
Tremblinghands placed the spoon by the saucer, the young woman still utterly humiliated by the position the demon woman had caught her in, the glare from the amber almost piercing her soul and making her wither.
She had only ever once been almost caught with a boy, even then they had been doing nothing more than chaste kisses on his basement couch; when they both heard the door swing open and his parents chatter, they spread apart to opposite ends of the couch, both blushing furiously at the action they were almost caught doing.
Now she almost wished they had been just kissing, not her in his lap, topless and clutching onto his back in desperation.
Again she hid her face in her hands, wishing she had just left the damn room, not stayed with the demon, not let him play her like a finely tuned violin, not enjoyed it. Her brown eyes lifted to the cup of tea, knowing she had to face the elder demon eventually. Gripping the cup tightly, Rin moved towards the stairs, a deep breath taken in her lungs as she felt her heart pound louder in her chest .
"M-Miss InuKimi?" Rin called, her knuckles rapping on the door timidly, "I-I have your tea?"
Silence was all that she received, her nervousness still peaked as she stood awkwardly in front of the door.
"I-I'm coming in," the young woman announced, her hand gently pushing open the door, slightly surprised at the emptiness of the room. "Miss InuKimi?"
Stepping gently into the room, Rin was tentative as she moved towards the bedside table, the cup and saucer placed on the top. Looking around, the young woman found the room to be immaculate, though she was never allowed to clean, only allowed to enter every once and a while to deliver food and pick it up. Under InuKimi's orders, though the fact that Rin was ordered in what she considered to be her home made her bristle slightly, she wanted to see as little as Rin as possible.
"What are you doing here?"
Squeaking as she jumped, the young woman turned to look at the demon, the other's lips pursed and her head held high.
"I-I was bringing you your tea," Rin murmured, hating how small she seemed in the presence of the elder woman.
Again InuKimi said nothing as she looked to the drink, her nose twitching as she sniffed.
"You made it wrong," the elder stated bluntly, "do it again."
"But you didn't even-"
"I can smell it," InuKimi cut her off, "I hate flowers in my tea. Do it again."
Closing her mouth, Rin turned to grip the cup once again as the demon moved beside her to return to her bed.
Wanting to be respectful of the woman that was the mother of her demon lover, Rin stood with the saucer in her hands, her head hung low as she tried to escape with as little incidence as possible.
"And you should stop distracting my son."
Even though she knew it was coming, the young woman still flinched at the words, her brown eyes turning to the other that had pulled her laptop to the bed, her fingers typing furiously on the keys.
"I… beg your-"
"My son runs an entire company and his work is intrinsic to its survival," InuKimi explained bluntly, "therefore, any distractions caused by you only hampers and interferes with his work."
"B-But I'm not-"
"And it does not reflect well on you either," she turned to look at the young woman, "if you want to appear as a respectful girl you should just leave him be."
Rin felt stunned at the words, InuKimi knowing they hit their mark at her flinching.
"R… Right-"
"And just so you know," the demon woman pressed on, "the doctor said I'd need to stay longer; I'm not fully healed yet."
Tongue held in her teeth, Rin said nothing as she nodded to her elder, simply nodding at the words before she slipped out the room, wondering how long she was to endure the cruel words of the woman she could not fight back.
"Oh man," Rin groaned, her hand to her head, "please just let this end well."
Soo? How was it? Reviews please ^^
