Chapter Fourteen
Unite
"K-Kouga?" The words left Kagome's lips but the reality they carried just didn't seem real. Was she dreaming? This had to be some sort of hallucination?
Kagome blinked her head unintentionally shaking from side to side ever so swiftly to rid herself of the phantom she thought her own misery had created.
But reopening her hazel orbs, the scene remained ever so constant.
The azure eyed wolf was indeed standing mere feet away from her now trembling form.
This wasn't a dream, or her frenzied mind playing a cruel joke.
Kouga was here.
Kouga took a reassuring breath steadily. He didn't begrudge Kagome a bit for the look of absolute shock that spread across her bewildered face.
This was a lot to absorb, on both parts.
He hadn't seen the priestess standing before him in so long, and yet she looked even more beautiful than he remembered.
Right now, as wrong and unhelpful as he knew it would be. He couldn't help but internally fight against the urge to want her closer, against him.
Seeing her after such a vast span of time. This feeling building in his chest. It boarded on painful, to have her so close and yet unable to reach out and touch her porcelain skin.
Kouga swallowed hard to compose himself. He had to remain focused or he wouldn't have the strength to endure this encounter much longer.
"Kagome." He addressed properly. All the while the sound of her name on his lips causing the pounding in his chest to intensify.
"What are you doing here?" Kagome couldn't help but ask. The longer she stood in this paralyzed like state the more real this situation was becoming. And the more she wanted answers no matter how diluted with disbelief she currently was.
"I wanted to see you." Kouga confessed. Though the word 'wanted' didn't fit his basis desire to be near the woman he still loved more than life itself.
He had down right needed, craved to be in her presence for months now. It was beyond words just how badly that feeling had lingered inside him.
The lingering ache of incompleteness subsiding only momentarily while she was in his sights.
"How've you been?" Kouga asked trying to keep the internal struggle he was currently enduring well hidden behind casual conversation.
Though on the inside, he felt as though he was breaking.
"I-I'm fine." Kagome whispered her eyes falling to the welded position of her sandal covered feet. She just couldn't believe this. Kouga was actually here. He was standing right in front of her, acting so calm. So secure.
All the while she was standing in place trying not to fall to pieces all over again. Mere moment ago her eyes had been bleary with tears. As so many nights before. Yet, her she was trying to build up her hidden façade as she always had in the face of disappointment.
She didn't want Kouga of all people to see her in such a defeated state. He had no doubt seen enough of that to last the both of them a lifetime.
"You look well." Kouga complimented taking a daring step forward.
Kagome resisted the urge to fall back in place. The long sleeves of her white priestess attire intentionally folding before her grass stained pants.
She turned her head away in embarrassment. An all new wave of insecurity assaulting her senses.
"Y-You do too." Kagome whispered not daring to peer in the wolf demons direction.
He looked so strong, so together. Like the months they had been apart hadn't effected him in the least. While she stood here hanging on by an invisible thread.
It was demeaning. To know her own emotions had brought her to such a powerless state.
Kagome's hazel eyes darken at the thought. Why was Kouga here? His very presence was causing her mind to torment her all over again.
Being near him was torture. Not being near him had been torture. Was there no peace to be had?
"Kagome-" Kouga whispered the fragrant scent of the priestess wafting under his heighten nose.
"What's the matter?" He asked whole heartedly. The unmistakable scent of sadness catching his full attention.
"Nothing!" Kagome promised all to hurriedly to be sincere as she forced herself to meet Kouga's azure orbs. She didn't want him to see past the surface, he didn't need to see the battle her own conscience waged against her.
"You've been crying." Kouga stated bluntly still able to smell the light traces of salt droplets stained into Kagome's sleeves.
"It's nothing!" Kagome defended almost angry that Kouga's demonic abilities had betrayed her secrets despite her efforts to hide them away.
She expected Kouga to pry or demand a more satisfying response but instead his retort to her stand off attitude shocked her, possibly to the core.
In one soft and all to slow motion the wolf demon stepped closer closing the distance that separated the two of them until he stood right against her.
His strong arms coiling their way around her waist and pulling her close to his armored chest, firm but in an almost impossibly affectionate way.
Kagome couldn't react, couldn't speak. She only stood their helpless in his strong embrace her own arms welded at her side in pure disbelief.
The last time they had spoken. It had been in anger.
She had sent him away hatefully. Even if it had killed her inside to do so.
Months had flown by and they had made no further contact, no attempt to mend the void that she had ripped between them. He should have hated her…and she wouldn't blame him if he did.
But, that was obviously not the case.
He was embracing her. Just as tender and loving as he had in the past.
It almost reduced her to tears.
"I've missed you." Kouga confessed cradling the motionless priestess to his chest just a little tighter. God's above it felt so good to hold her again…to actually feel her.
It was almost like he had been torn in half the day they had parted so bitterly. Wondering around in the east, hollow and incomplete for far to long. But, now having her at his side once more. It was almost like he was whole again. All pieces of himself finally realigned. It was heaven. Even if it might only be temporary.
Kagome's widen hazel orbs soften tenderly.
She had missed him too. He would never know how much.
Though as much as she wanted to express it, the words would not come.
Kouga feeling her reluctance against him forced himself to release her stepping back understandingly before his mind could force him to do otherwise.
"I'm sorry-" He instinctively apologized. He knew after their last encounter the priestess probably had more than her fair share of hesitation being near him.
"I know you probably didn't want to see me. I just needed to know how you were." Kouga admitted remorsefully.
It might have been a mistake coming here. But, it needed to be done. He had to know she was truly alright. Even if the same could never be said for his own sake.
"No!" Kagome interrupted Kouga's downward spiraling train of thought all to suddenly.
"I-I'm glad you came." Kagome promised. Guilt swelled in her chest after finally admitting that out loud but, she swallowed it down hard and forced herself to focused on what she now knew she wanted to say.
"The way things ended last time-"Kagome began in a tone that boarded on a whisper.
She couldn't dare relive the memory of their last parting, and the night prior that had led to it. But, she knew she had regretted it every since and wanted so badly to attempt to make amends any way she could.
"The things I said. I-It was wrong." Kagome hesitated to confess the inner turmoil she had bottled up inside for far to long.
She didn't regret her decision to send Kouga away. She knew it had all been for the better of things, but the pain she had suffered form her choice was undeniable.
She wanted him to know that, to understand. Though she hated herself for everything she had ever put him through, she had done it for the both of them. So their lives wouldn't be torn apart and drag those who they loved down with the chaos they had created.
It was so overwhelming to try and form these unrelenting thoughts into the proper expression. She didn't even know where to begin.
She hadn't been prepared for this. To face him. Even after all this time apart, she wasn't ready!
"Kagome." Kouga intervened calmly, feeling the rising panic and unrest in the priestess standing before him.
He could sense her determination and all to eagerly silenced her from bringing the sorted subject up between them.
"It's alright." He promised. He wasn't an idiot he knew what his sudden appearance here was doing to her. Ripping open old wounds, forcing her to relive all they had shared.
He didn't blame her at all for being so uneasy around him. What she felt, was to be expected.
But that didn't make it any less painful to endure.
To know him being here just in her sight was causing her to unravel in such a way. He really had been alone in his longing to reconnect.
It was obvious she wasn't ready to face him, not even remotely.
"I deserved a lot of it-" He confessed an unwated image of Kagome's fury filled eyes and the damning night he had spent with Ayame flashing before his gaze.
"Kouga-" Kagome whispered watching as the look of regret and unease spread across Kouga's handsome face. He looked so miserable…almost tortured…
Had her words really caused him to feel so damaged?
Kouga forced the haunting images away all to heatedly. Desperate for a change of subject he switched to another coarse of questioning that had been recently been plaguing him.
"How are the kids?" Kouga asked burying what misery he held inside down deep.
Kagome blinked in confusion. The new shift in conversation catching her off guard, something Kouga noticed all to easily.
"The twins?" The azure eyed wolf specified.
Since leaving the human village behind. Kagome hadn't been the only human crossing his mind, no. Two matching pair of chocolate colored orbs had a way of creeping into his thoughts from time to time.
"Their fine." Kagome promised a little surprised but also delighted Kouga cared to ask about Mi and Sa's well beings.
"Their back in the village with Sango." Kagome added.
Kouga glanced around Kagome towards the well lit orb of the distant village just at the bottom of the hill side. The lingering scent of cooking foods and thumping of growing music catching him off guard.
"You're out here alone?" Kouga asked turning his attention back to the solo priestess before him. A little surprised she would miss what apparently seemed like a human festival.
"Y-Yes." Kagome admitted a little hesitantly.
"Inuyasha? Hasn't returned?" Kouga asked addressing the absent silver haired dog by his given name and trying to ignore the bad taste it left lingering on his tongue to do so.
Kagome felt her posture straighten at the mere mention of the amber eyed dog demon.
"N-No." Kagome promised.
"He hasn't." She added. In fact she hadn't heard a word from Inuyasha or his whereabouts to the point she was beginning to worry for the half demons safety.
He had been gone for several months, and she had no idea when or if he would return.
Kouga watched her reaction with an emotionless mask. So he alone had been the reason Kagome seemed so distant, and forcibly apologetic.
Despite wanting to remain here, to hold her, to feel her, to express how empty he had been without her by his side. Kouga knew it would do neither of them any good.
Kagome obviously didn't want him here. Her forceful kind words aside. He could see her fear, her panic at the mere sight of him. He wouldn't force her to endure it anymore than he already had.
Deeply Kouga breathed the chilled air swallowing the gnawing pit of anguish building in the core of his stomach forcefully.
He had enough mental torment for one night. It was time to end it while he still had the strength to do so.
"I should go." Kouga forced the words out before he could imprison them behind his fangs.
"Y-You're leaving?" Kagome repeated in disbelief. He had just gotten here, and he was already ready to disappear. They hadn't even expressed any of the pint up feeling she had been suffering through all this time without him.
Her guilt, her longing, her fear, her sorrow. Did he not care?
Kouga nodded in agreement.
"I shouldn't be here." Kouga breathed trying his best not to show his deepest desire not to move from this very spot ever again.
"You're alright. That's all I wanted to see." Kouga finished with the truth. It made the parting he knew was coming feel less suffocating, but not very.
He could already feel the oh so familiar feeling of being torn in two begin to return at the mere idea of parting from Kagome once again.
It was crippling, but he hid the growing devastation well.
Staring at Kagome, burning her beautiful image into his mind as if to preserve her face in his memories forever he began to slowly turn from her.
He had to leave now. He wasn't strong enough to handle this, to be so close to her and yet so undeniably far.
"Kouga wait!" Kagome pleaded. Her hand outreaching until her slender fingers gripped hold of Kouga's hand in her own squeezing tightly, desperately.
Instantly Kouga froze mid-step, the feeling of Kagome's soft skin gripping his own making him almost paralyzed with the firm sensation.
"Please-" Kagome whispered, trying so hard to hide the look of fear from spreading so clearly across her heated face.
"Stay with me? J-Just for a little while?" She asked, the words pouring forth before she even had a prayers chance of holding them back.
Where was this coming from? She hadn't been ready to face Kouga! Not at all! Yet the idea of him leaving, of fading away into the distance after so brief a meeting. The thought seemed even more unbearable!
She didn't know what she was doing. This would undoubtedly just make their eventual parting that much harder to bare, but she wasn't thinking of that. She wasn't thinking of anything past this moment.
A moment she just wanted to spend with only one person, one demon. Him. Kouga.
Kouga saw the flash of something in Kagome's shifting hazel eyes, something deep and clear. It almost looked like…longing.
A feeling he was all to painfully familiar with.
He couldn't stand the idea of Kagome suffering the way he silently had. He would do anything to ease that burden off of her. No matter how much harder it would make things for him near the end.
Agreeing without a word Kouga followed Kagome's silent gesture as she took a seat on the soft hill side greenery gently tugging Kouga's hand to join her.
Skillfully and without breaking the contact of their hands Kouga sat at her side, both of them staring at nothing else but each other.
Their eyes hopelessly locked into one another's glimmering orbs. Her hazel gems wide and gleaming with confusion and fear. His azure eyes deep and mirror like refusing to allow her a glimpse into his almost visible turmoil.
Against all odds and of all reaction Kagome possibly could have had under the weight of his heavy and unrelenting gaze. She chose to smile.
Kouga hesitated at the sudden realization her eyes had swelled with tears but her beautiful lips smiled almost gratefully.
"I'd forgotten how much I missed sitting with you." Kagome laughed humorlessly her eyes creasing shut from the weight of her sadden smile.
This feeling, as wonderful as it was. She knew it was a double edged sword. The memories she shared with Kouga on these very hillsides. The reassuring and supportive conversation they had shared. Were all but burned away.
Turned to ash by the blazing passion that had consumed them all those nights ago. It was bitter sweet beyond words to relive those memories…to remember what they had…
Kouga raised his free hand gripping hand of Kagome's heated cheek and watching as a lone tear began to stream down her rosy flesh.
He thumbed the salted drop away. He couldn't bare to see her like this…so torn…
At this moment. He wasn't Kouga. He wasn't a leader, a mate, a wolf. No. He was nothing but a shell fueled on by one need and one need alone.
To pour every ounce of love had ever felt possible into the priestess in his grasp. To drive away her sorrow, and at the same time fill his own.
He didn't want to share her pain, he wanted to scorch it away. Blaze it into retreat with his touch, with his undying love.
Without warning Kouga's head dipped forward and hungrily captured Kagome's lips with his own. The kiss was burning, hot and engulfed in the flames of his sheer want.
Kagome melted into his arms her body all to willing surrendering itself into his tight hold without a hint of reluctance. Had she truly missed his touch this much? This desperately? God it felt so good…
His scent, the hardness of his body, it was the exact same as it had been back in that cave…during that raging blizzard when she had let Kouga take everything she had ever had to give.
She wanted that again…that indescribable feeling he had filled her with. The emptiness his touch had taken her mind too where she thought of nothing and no one but him!
It was to tempting to hard to fight against it!
But in the darkest yet still slightly resistant comers of Kagome mind all the memories of the countless hours she had spent tormenting herself over her selfish decisions began to weigh in, if ever so weakly.
Only partially breaking the contact between their lips with a light shove of her hand against Kouga's armored chest she panted out.
"W-We cant- Not again.." She breathed brokenly.
Kouga absorbed her words but it did nothing compared to the look in her eyes. Her darken now chocolate colored eyes hazed with heavy lust, the panting slick gloss of her parted lips. The flushed crimson shading of her cheeks.
He was past the point of no return. If she wanted him to stop. She would have to kill him!
Gripping the base of her neck far more aggressive than ever before he pulled her back to him. His lips pressingly themselves savagely to her own once more.
Kagome's vision tunneled and all she could see in a heated daze before total darkness was the bright star filled sky and the glimmering light it provided. The ghostly orb of the moon overshadowing Kouga's broad shoulder as she suddenly realized she was being shoved downwards onto the flat of her back.
His body was on top of her own all to skillfully and without the slightest breaking of their still bound lips.
Only when the ache for oxygen began to quake in Kagome's chest did the wolf demon pull away, but only for his heated lips to begin a scorching trail of tongue laced kisses down the long column of her neck.
Kagome gasped the midnight air desperate to fill her depleted lungs. Kouga was so raw, so carnal, his touch was everything she had missed. It was consuming!
But still her subconscious tried ever so desperately to battle its way to the surface.
Gripping hold roughly of Kouga's bound hair messing it between her fingers as she pulled tightly.
"I-It's wrong!" Kagome moaned undeniable bolts of pleasure shooting up her spine as Kouga began to nip his fangs into her soften flesh.
Her eyes sealed tight and she clung to Kouga for dear life before the wolf demon roughly forced her hands away by pinning them above her head with a single hold.
The other beginning to tear at the top half of her kimono shoving the fabric aside aggressively until her breast were completely exposed.
Kagome gasped loudly as the midnight air assaulted her newly exposed skin, the pink buds of her nipples hardening in an instant.
"I know." Was Kouga's only response in a low primal growl before hungrily he engulfed the perked pearls in his mouth lavishing them with hard wet lashes of his hot tongue.
Kagome's back arched and her held wrist balled into tight fist as she cried out! The feeling of Kouga's fangs beginning to tug at her breast making her see stars!
The familiar pulsation and growing unignorable feeling of incompleteness beginning to radiate its way from between her thighs!
She felt empty, hollow without him inside her as she never had before!
Tears stung at the corner of her eyes! She wanted Kouga so badly it actually hurt! But she hated herself so much for it!
Why? Why couldn't she stop?!
Kouga could sense Kagome's growing aggravation he could feel it from the way her thighs quivered underneath him. She wanted to be filled and he was by far in no mood to deny what they clearly both wanted!
He had missed her to much to wait. But this by far would be nothing like the first time they made love. He wouldn't take her once and hold her close the remainder of the night. No, this time there would be no rest!
He would fill the emptiness inside her from now until day break. He would make sure come morning her body and mind were polluted with nothing but absolute thoughts of him. Of the searing never ending pleasure he had brought her!
The passion. The control Kouga had restrained for so long and far to desperately had finally broken free and there was nothing that could be done to stop the tide!
Before Kagome could even realize what the wolf demon had in store for her. Kouga's hands were hard on her hips jerking her smaller frame upwards and maneuvering her into a sitting position on his lap.
Kagome couldn't help but gasp in surprise as the ground left her and she was forced to lock her legs around the small of Kouga's back for support!
Then his lips were suddenly on hers just as feverish and hungry as before!
His hands quickly followed. Ripping and pulling at her clothing until there was absolutely nothing left!
She was welded there forcibly held naked in his laps as his rough and calloused hands began to work over her totally exposed body!
He was so warm, so strong! She couldn't fight it! She arched into his touch and moaned deeply into his mouth. The sweet sound going straight to his core, making his member begin to pulsate under his furs.
Heatedly he tore his mouth from hers with a hard groan against her neck. How could one human woman drive him so wild? So crazed! That he would forget everything about the outside world, until there was absolutely nothing left!
"Kagome-" Kouga rasped against her soft skin, "This is going to be rough-" He warned, the scent of her alone was edging him towards total madness!
Kagome only breathed deep and broken in response. She had no words. She was a prisoner to her own desire!
She couldn't speak! She couldn't move. She could hardly breathe!
Kouga didn't even bother waiting for her surrender or permission. He had waited far to long as it was.
Careful not to break his hold on her firm body against him he began to remove his heavy armor until he tossed it away carelessly ignoring the loud thud the metal crashing to the ground created. His naked torso hot and gleaming against Kagome's pearl body as he was left in nothing but his fur pelt and fur shin guards.
Not bothering to shield Kagome with modestly he adjusted Kagome on top of him until he could feel her slick opening.
Kagome's shimmering lips fell open releasing a sound that boarded on a cry. Her face flushed with hot embarrassment at being touched so intimately.
His fingers stroking her moist folds delicately before she felt him grip hold of the fur pelt shielding his length from her waiting sex. Shoving the material up carelessly he began to guide himself towards her entrance.
Kagome gripped Kouga's shoulders fearfully, the last time he had filled her it had been both sheer ecstasy and misery from the pain of being penetrated for the first time.
She braced herself for the same double edged sensation.
Kouga groaned as wet heat welcomed the blunt head of his member as he pushed himself against her pink folds.
But before entering her fully his eyes met hers and there they stilled, just long enough to share a glimpse of the precipice they were about to venture towards again. The betrayal they were both surrendering themselves too once more.
Polluted by a drunken cloud of lust or not Kagome's lips parted in despair, she had to stop this…while she still could…
But before the words could leave her trembling lips Kouga forcibly silenced her with a hungry kiss to her lips.
His hands were on her hips edging her downwards, shifting her thighs until he speared himself inside her amazing tightness.
Kouga swore against Kagome's throat. The incredible feeling stealing all control as his body began to move of its own will pushing into her until the hilt.
Kagome cried out her nails digging crescent shaped markings into his shoulder as she gripped onto him for dear life. The feeling of being filled so abruptly after all these long months bordering on discomfort but not so much painful.
Kouga waited for Kagome's body to adjust around his girth before he began to move. Lifting her weightlessly upwards against his length before slamming her back down!
Lifting up, slamming down, lifting up. His movement they were so unrestrained! Nothing like the last time they had made love, the tenderness the reluctance was all but gone!
His movement most woman would have deemed brutal. And Kouga might have been actually concerned at the ferocity of his thrust if Kagome wasn't visibly thriving on it!
Her nails bit into his back no doubt drawing blood, her hips meeting his with equal enthusiasm and rich unchecked moans sobbing from her lips.
Kouga braced a hand on the back of Kagome's neck bracing her inescapably against the merciless pounding of his body! Not letting up for a moment as Kagome's velvet walls clenched around him, milking him almost painfully tight!
The sight of her arching on top of him. The way her damp messy raven waves cascaded around her. The bouncing of her perfect breast from the heavy impact of his hips, it made life worth living again!
He had fantasized hundreds of times what it would be like to take Kagome again. To burry himself inside her, but never did he think he could do it this raw. This carnal!
Her body gripped him like a vice, pulsing around him and despite their minimal foreplay, she was so wet for him that every thrust was followed by deliciously erotic sounds.
He slid within her effortlessly as if they were made to fit together. No woman, he could ever share his body with could ever make him feel this way. This complete. This whole.
Releasing the back of her neck he coiled an arm around her waist tightly pressing his chest to hers while burying his head in the crook of her neck and shoulder.
Slowing his bruising thrust, but still filling her just as deeply.
"Kagome-" He rasped against her.
No words could describe how much he loved this woman. This single mortal woman. She was his body, his mind, his absolute soul!
Kagome shivered against the wolf demon cradling her as he began to suck at her neck letting his fangs scrape over the tender flesh before soothing it with a hot swipe of his tongue.
Kouga's senses were completely polluted with her, her smell, her feel, her taste. She was everything he had ever wanted, and at the same time everything he wish he had never found.
The pain and the pleasure of the situation was deafening and he just wanted to drown it all away, and he knew just how to do so.
He sucked her skin until it was purple and bruised, before he lifted to meet her darken hazel eyes, glossed over with a sheen of hazy lust.
He was drawn to them, falling endlessly in their clouded pools. Before he knew it his mouth was crushed to hers and they were kissing hungrily.
When the need for oxygen became too much, his lips left hers. His hips never faltering in their steady rhythm, but unmistakably he could feel Kagome's body begin to quake around him.
Her release was near.
Instinctively, Kouga shallowed his thrust keeping her teetering on the edge earning him a unwilling frustrated sigh of protest from the priestess still wrapped around him.
He kept her there in that boarder land between total abyss and dormancy for what seemed like an eternity. Bringing her so close to the edge yet stopping before she could fall over the cataclysm completely.
It was torture!
Kagome clung to Kouga desperately her arms coiling around his neck so tightly she could feel every flex of his muscles around her.
Kouga released his grip on her hip fully to lock his arms around her back falling effortlessly forward until the soft grass swelled underneath Kagome's back making her shudder from the cold sensation.
Kouga now having her laid out so helplessly before him rocked back onto his knees eyeing the treasure she was. His azure eyes drinking in the sight of her sweat glossed body and licking his lips in anticipation.
Kagome tore her eyes away from his gaze. It was so scotching so harsh and unrelenting. Like he wanted nothing more than to devour her alive!
Hovering over her he lifted her long legs upwards, letting her ankles rest on the broad plain of his shoulders. He then realigned their bodies and leaned forward to give her another scorching kiss, bending her far enough forward her knees could almost reach her ears.
Silently he slipped a hand between them to guide his hardness to where they both needed it and then slowly, he began to push forward.
His hands braced themselves on either side of her head as he lifted himself just enough so as not to crush her. Her knees were now almost touching her shoulders in a surprisingly display of flexibility, if she felt any sort of discomfort it was quickly forgotten as he pushed inside her deeper than ever before.
"G-Gah-" Kagome gasped as shooting pleasure rocked throughout her body, feeling his impossibly long length spear her in slow, deep strokes.
The azure eyed wolf demon couldn't help but let a heated groan escaped his clenched fangs, she couldn't have felt more incredible. Her slick walls rippled around him, squeezing him so damn tight it made his vision flash white and soon his steady pace had picked up until he was driving into her hard and inhumanly fast.
Kagome's hands raked the grass and earth above her head. Her moans filling the air in a broken melody of "Oh Kouga," and sheer screams.
She shifted slightly and he instantly began to hit a new place inside her, her eyes sealing tightly shut. In this moment she wasn't thinking about anyone else but the wolf demon driving into her! There was no heart ache, no Inuyasha, no betrayal, just Kouga and all the scorching perfection he was filling her with!
Her moans were spiraling higher in pitch as her feminine walls clenched around his pounding length, she was growing tighter and tighter and he knew she was nearing her peak.
"K-Kagome!" Kouga rasped egger to aid his lover into that promised explosion of ecstasy!
His once restrained consciences had now left, blazed away in a drunken blur of sex and sweat. He was lost in her, gone to the outside world and its worries, all he could see was her, this vision of a sex goddess he was now pumping into fulfillment.
His love. His reason for drawing breath!
He pounded into her once, twice with powerful thrust and then she was unraveling before him. Her hazel eyes burst open wide and her sinfully full lips parted in a soundless scream!
She released the now matted grass and grasped at his forearms in a shivering grip as she spasmed around him. Her body convulsing in the most delicious way a she became impossibly wet. Her rippling walls nearly dragging him over the edge with her, but he clenched his jaw and slowed his thrust determined to hang on until he watched her ride out the waves of pleasure he had crashed down upon her.
She writhed and tumbled and made the most wonderful sounds. He took in every detail, wanting to remember every strand of raven hair, every breathless moan.
He had seen hundreds of beautiful things in his lifetime but nothing compared to this, watching as she carried away towards the blazing heat of the stars before falling back down to earth where he would gladly catch her.
Then slowly as her body began to come down from the high she barely survived, the wolf demon on top of her had never ceased in his magnificent thrusting!
Panting into the meeting of her neck and shoulder his whole body began to stiffen rigidly. Her throat was already raw from the sheer sensation she had just endure but now it burned even more as she tried to absorb the twinges of pleasure still rushing through her.
He was thrusting into her so incredibly deep, burying himself inside her to the point where she was becoming blinded by the sensation it provided!
"K-Kouga!" She practically cried as she clung to the hard plain of his back trying to maintain the feeling of him driving inside her deepest core!
Kouga kissed Kagome's neck sweetly never ceasing the amazing pumping of his hips. He had vowed to have her screaming till sun rise and he would see that promised fulfilled!
He never wanted this moment to end! He wanted to hold her like this to him forever! Until the very sky crashed down around them he never wanted to let her go!
Kagome could feel it. His desperate need to have her and she shared the consuming feeling all the same. She wanted to be cradled to Kouga like this always!
The feeling of him between her thighs, the way his sweat dampened chest now molded to her own. The hot feeling of his breath against her slick neck.
It was paradise, it was a dream…and she never wanted to wake up!
"K-Kouga" Kagome panted into Kouga's pointed ear brokenly.
"D-Don't ever stop…"She pleaded, she begged tearfully.
Kouga held her tighter against him thrusting relentlessly inside her making her cry out in total rapture!
"Never." He vowed…
Birds chirped happily overhead filling the canopy of lush greenery shading the valley below in a lasting melody. A sound that mixed perfectly with the soft hum of the warm air tussling the trees thick branches and leaves.
Through darken emerald eyes Ayame stared to the narrow beams of sunlight managing to pierce through the shaded greenery shielding her.
Days like this were so common now, she had almost forgotten how much she had longed for the serenity of the eastern valleys while trapped in the north.
The feeling of soft grass tracing her thighs, the sweet scent of wild flowers scattered at ever angle around her sitting form.
It was beautiful, it was everything she had longed for. Yet, one irreplaceable piece of this paradise like garden was filling her with its constant absents.
Ayame looked wearily down at the soft white petal flower clutched in her clawed fingers. The same sort of flower seasons ago Kouga had once placed in her hair while they escaped the hectic life of the mountain for a day or so.
Losing themselves in each other embrace and letting the outside world fall away.
No words could describe that serenity, that type of perfection…it seemed like a dream…
A dream she would give anything to return too.
Ayame eyed the small flower so dismayed. Something that had once filled her with such joy now poisoned her body and mind with uncertainty and pain.
The already fragmented shards of her heart began to crack even further in her chest. When would this suffering end? When would Kouga return? Truly return and be the mate she had once had?
"So this is where you were?" A soften and familiar voice asked from the shrubbery to Ayame's side.
Forcefully in attempt to mask her pain the jade eyed wolfess smiled in the approaching figures direction.
"Roiyaru. I'm sorry. I didn't feel like staying in the mountain's today." She confessed to her long time companion and friend.
"No need to apologize. It's far more peaceful down here after all." The navy colored eyed wolf sighed taking a tired seat at the auburn haired demoness side.
Being in the valley was far more preferable to being trapped up on the mountain side. The place had a disorganized sort of way of running things while their leader was away. Functional, but no less chaotic.
"It helps." Ayame breathed unwillingly staring at the petals still held between her fingers, before letting the small stem slip out of reach to the floor at her side.
The unmistakable look of sorrow filling Ayame's jade eyes was brief and surprisingly well hidden, but Roiyaru had caught it all the same.
He turned to her silently fresh concern filling his own lingering gaze.
"Ayame?" He whispered.
Ayame didn't respond or even react to his tender attempt at gauging her true motivation for seeking solitude in the valley floor.
No good would come of it. Yet, the want to have any sort of release from the pain building itself inside her chest was becoming to difficult to ignore.
"You know." Roiyaru began in a soften tone.
"After returning from the north. I had hoped not to see that look upon your face again." He breathed tenderly. The haunting image of Ayame standing frozen on the mountain side months ago nothing but a slave to her incompleteness flashing across his vision.
He had thought never to see such misery again from the woman he loved. Especially after her long over due return to the east and into Kouga's arms.
He would be lying if he didn't admit it had been crushing to meet Ayame the next morning freshly coated in Kouga's scent from their apparent reunion.
But, it had dulled the pain to see that look of total and complete happiness fill her emerald eyes once more.
A look he had suspected would linger on and on while she and her mate were together. But, he had been sadly proven wrong.
It had been weeks, but slowly her look of absolute bliss had dulled into contentment. And then, this. The look of misery, a look that was fast in taking hold of her beautiful orbs again.
And the only plaguing question that would not leave him. Was why?
"Roiyaru-" Ayame breathed reluctantly.
It was clear her secrets had betrayed her. She had been a fool to even think she had been capable of hiding them from someone who knew her as closely as he did.
Her façade had cracked and the hurt coursing its way through her veins was beginning to spill out.
"Can I ask you something?" She whispered almost apologetically.
"Anything." Roiyaru vowed inching closer to his dearest friend and love.
"If-" Ayame hesitated to continue. What if Roiyaru could provide the answers she craved? Did she truly want to know? Or was she happier lost in her naivety?
No. She couldn't go on this way. She had to find a sliver of hope any way she could. It was the one thing keeping her going.
"If I was your mate. And I had angered you-" She began shaken and restrained capturing Roiyaru's full and undivided attention with her direct turn of subject.
"How would you punish me?" She asked resisting the hot sting of tears while she did.
"What?" Roiyaru asked blinded and confused by her darken question.
Ayame instantly regretted her decision to involve another party in her misery. This wasn't Roiyaru's weight to bare.
"I'm sorry- I shouldn't have-" She breathed fearfully and apologetic.
"Ayame." Roiyaru stated firmly his hand outreaching to cup Ayame's heated face and force her to return to his gaze.
He didn't know what this subject circled around or what had caused it to grow, but he didn't care. If Ayame was suffering he wanted to know, and he wanted to know why!?
Ayame could see the navy eyed wolfs determination, and was far to grateful for his support to form the words other than explaining her drive to bring this topic up between them.
"Kouga. He's angry with me." She confessed broken heatedly.
Roiyaru blinked in confusion and disbelief. Kouga? Was angry at Ayame? What? Why? What reason could he possibly have to make his mate feel so dejected?
Soften and desperate for any type of support Ayame clutched Roiyaru's hand more tightly against her heated cheek like the life line it was.
"I don't know why? Or what I've done. But I feel it. Day after day…" Ayame cried feeling the hot steams of tears begin to cut lines down her porcelain skin.
"Every time he looks at me. I can see it. His eyes-" She sobbed tiredly.
"He is so cold." She trembled with the weight of the words she had held so deeply buried inside her finally emerging to the surface.
"I cant stop asking myself…What I've done to drive this wedge between us?" She admitted reliving the countless hours she had spent over and over trying to resolve the conflict she must have unintentionally began.
"It's never been like this. Not ever." She breathed trying so desperately to keep the full force her sorrow from spilling out.
"I feel him pulling away from me. A-And I'm scared…I am so scared." Ayame sobbed and Roiyaru could take it no more.
His arms coiled around Ayame crushing her small figure to his chest in an inescapable embrace and allowing the auburn haired demoness to burry her tear soaked eyes into his chest.
Affectionately he buried his fingers in her soften locks cradling her to him as he began to rock tenderly back and forth her shivering body locked in his arms.
"It's alright Ayame. We'll make it alright." He promised his own heart beginning to ache from seeing the woman he loved so deeply torn apart so viciously before him.
Ayame clutched onto Roiyaru's caramel colored furs for dear life. Her tears soaking into the soft fabric as every once of sorrow she had vainly tired to contain began to spill forward.
Pain had never felt so real…and she never thought not in a million life times. Would it have been created from the one man she loved more than words could say.
Warm sunlight drifted over the morning dew stained hill side. Basking the vast field like mounds in a soft orange glow with its illuminating hue.
The light touch of day break caressing the intertwined duo of bronze and pearl skin with equal attention and tender heat.
Kagome stirred in her restful sleep her milky face tightening from the sudden absence of dark until her glimmering hazel orbs parted open.
The light incoherent sun rising on the distant horizon the first sensation to welcome her back to consciousness. The next was the lingering feeling of a strong protective arm wrapped tenderly around her waist adjusting slightly across her naked skin.
Kagome's eyes sealed tightly shut as all the crystal clear and beyond heated events of last nights actions bombarded her back to full awareness.
The soreness between her thighs and the small developing of countless bruises over her body inescapable evidence of what she had willingly endured.
Softly and trying to be as skilful as possible not to disturb the wolf demon cradling her to him she turned to face his handsome still sleeping face.
His hair was loose and fell messily over his bronze skin, his soft lips parted only slightly to accommodate his tired breaths.
His sculpted muscles outlined perfectly with the growing haze of light, his slightly heavy arm resting against her as he held her close.
Kagome resisted the urge to trace a soft finger over his face, she had never seen him this way before. So still, so peaceful.
Then again it came as no surprise he would be exhausted, even more so than herself. Countless hours they had lost themselves in each others arms.
The outside world had melted away with every stoke of his hands and tongue. Taking her to that indescribable realm of pleasure and serenity in possible and impossible positions throughout the dark hours of the night.
Until finally mere hours ago they had collapsed onto this very spot. Tangled in the messed pile of Kouga's absent furs and her badly stained and disheveled priestess attire.
Looking down at their still intertwined forms she could see her upper kimono fabric tangled around Kouga's waist hiding his lower half from sight. While his fur pelts hugged her mid waist and lower hips, all other articles of clothing piled on top of the others around them messily.
It was all but a photograph of what they had done…again.
Kagome retracted her arm from around Kouga's to her naked chest trying to stop the aching that was already beginning to build from the betrayal she was reliving.
She couldn't believe she had done this again. She really was a monster!
How could she ever look anyone in the eye again after this? After such selfish behavior? The shame was all but written across her face, everyone in the village would be able to see it.
Then with that thought, another emerged. A far more drastic one.
The village, the people…Sango!
Kagome bolted upright all attempt at trying to mask her consciences forgotten as she clawed her way to her feet groping at what shredded material of her clothing she could find!
The jarring action causing Kouga to rip himself from what was his peaceful slumber.
It took a moment for his azure eyes to adjust to the invading sunlight now blinding him and for the pulsating memories of the night prior to sink in. But once it did his narrow azure eyes instantly fixed on the now partially clothed priestess frantically trying to realign her tattered attire.
"What is it? What's wrong?" Kouga instinctively asked fearing the worst seeing at how manic Kagome was in her goal to shield her naked flesh from sight.
"Sango!" Kagome confessed whole heartedly as she tucked her priestess assigned fabric back into whatever place it would go until she was fully dressed.
"I've been out all night! She must be worried sick about me!" Kagome stated bluntly. The demon slayer would no doubt be combing the outskirts of the village looking for her! She had been so stupid to forget to check in sooner!
Kouga pinched the bridge of his nose exhaustedly. This wasn't exactly the wakeup call he had been expecting, still it was better than the last.
Trying to appease the situation he reached for his own clothing, barely managing to get to his bare feet to drape his fur pelt around his waist before Kagome was practically off in a sprint.
"I have to go back!" She shouted basically over her shoulder while storming towards the village.
"Hey wait a second!" Kouga called shadowing her every step inhumanly fast before reaching out to grip hold of her forearm and forcefully spinning her to face him.
Kagome struggled against his hold but it did little to nothing against Kouga's iron grip.
"Kouga- Please I have to-" She pleaded while tugging at his hand in effort to gain release.
Skillfully with his other hand he stilled her with a firm grip of her chin between his index finger and thumb. Forcing her to peer up at him and meet his azure orbs straight on.
But Kagome though positioned correctly defiantly looked at the grass covered ground instead. Desperate not to face the weight of her actions just yet.
Kouga didn't hesitate. Clutching her tighter but not necessarily painful he spoke.
"Look at me?" He asked surprisingly tender.
The warm sound caught Kagome off guard and against all her better instincts she couldn't resist the urge to peer up.
Timidly at first but soon her hazel eyes locked into his azure glass like orbs, seeing the reflection of her pitiful state full force. But, also the undeniable amount of love pouring through those mirror like eyes.
"Come back to me?" He whispered so devotedly that the mere sound made her shudder.
Kagome felt the urge to resist his unspoken command build in her throat and desperately she wished she had the strength to form the words.
Gently Kouga released her arm from his hold only to bring the calloused pad of his palm to tenderly cup her heated face.
The feeling, the affection and the lingering look in his eyes, so soft and loving. It tore the strength from her body and all will to fight was gone.
She knew she didn't have the words to speak, so she nodded her head in agreement.
She didn't know when exactly she would return from the village, but she would all the same.
Kouga accepted her silent promise and before releasing her fully from his grasp he leaned forward kissing the top of her head sweetly and breathing in her intoxicating scent once more.
Kagome felt him relax against her and she used the opportunity granted to step away from his all to tempting embrace and trudge towards the village.
Kouga felt his heart sink at the sight of her disappearing down the hillside. But it didn't ache as it usually would have.
Perhaps it was the way her scent still clung to him, or the fresh memories of her body pressed to his own. Either way, he was more at peace now then he ever thought he could be again.
That single lingering thought made Kouga smile inwardly. Maybe it wasn't just peace he was feeling. No, it was far more than that.
He was alive again.
Now this is what I call bitter sweet! You love to see the two of them together but you hate the implosion it causes! So much pain and anguish! Will it ever stop!
Well maybe when I get tired of writing it. Ha! Like that will ever happen!
Keep hanging in there guys! This one is nearing its climax! *Cough* *Cough* Or you know whatever the height of a story is.
Much Love!
