Author's Note:

Well. The Good news is, I think I'm feeling better, now. At least, enough that I can get back into my writing and do a good job. :)

I watched this video on YouTube, and, it kinda of reminded me why I started doing this in the first place.

I never really forgot, I just lost it. The fire, I mean. But, I'm good now I believe! :)

However, I'll still be happy to consider any ideas that you give me. :)

Chapter 3 Arrivals

Kyrian, Mikor and Islah stood before their uncle and his Chosen Consort, ignoring the way that the members of the court were milling about the large room with feigned casualness as they studied them appraisingly before Sesshomaru dismissed them with a casual wave of his single hand commandingly.

"Greetings," Sesshomaru said to them, sliding his arm around Kohaku's shoulders and pulling him in close to his side tenderly. "Thank you for coming. I assume my brother told you why we sent for you?"

"Yes, he did," Kyrian stated firmly, confidently, as he stood there. His skin, where it was visible, and his eyes were a beautiful golden tone, his long, waist length hair russet brown, as were his twitching dog ears, and his sleek tail. "We all came here in person to tell you that none of us desire the position that you would grant us."

"Is that so? Well, that makes this all a bit easier, then. We have decided not to do what I had originally intended, but to take a third lover instead. One who can bear us a child to be my heir."

"Um.. Well.. Good, then. For my part, my more-then-sibling love for Mikor is enough of a reason to turn it down. We only just became lovers, so our relationship is too new. As for our sister.. Islah is mute. She can not speak."

"Oh? I did not know this, nephew."

"Of course not. Seventeen years between visits is as nothing to demons. But we do wish to stay here a while, to get to know you both, and now another. To learn the ways of your court, and to perhaps decide upon the perspective courses of our futures. If that is alright with you uncles?"

"Of course," Sesshomaru agreed, Kohaku inclining his head slightly in reply as well. "You may all stay as long as you desire."


Kohaku cried out sharply, head thrown back and fangs bared instinctively, pleased, and desperately aroused, when Sesshomaru shoved him face forward against the wall just inside their bedroom, his back to his larger Mate's chest as the demon lord's hands yanked his pants down around his ankles.

They had briefly forgotten about Kimere's presence in their rooms, so the young, slender demon male watched from their bed where he was resting in wide-eyed shock, trembling with fear, but also yearning as Kohaku whimpered and nodded when Sesshomaru whispered in his ear roughly, "Prepare yourself for our coupling, my little love.."

Kohaku reached out for the nearest jar of oil, as the servants had been instructed to keep them stocked and placed throughout the room in select places for this very purpose, so that they were always filled and ready whenever the mood struck their lord and his Chosen Mate.

Kohaku reached behind himself with his right hand after slicking the fingers, slipping two into his own back passage slowly as Sesshomaru watched.

His golden gaze was riveted with attention, hot and heated with love and lust mixed, feeling like an invisible, cupping touch upon his naked backside, causing his skin to heat up quickly as his eyes rolled back in his head, his lashes fluttering down as those beautiful blue orbs closed.

His slender fingers moved faster now as he moaned and panted softly, adding a third with another quiet, needy cry, sighing in relief when Sesshomaru finally took hold of his wrist and gently drew his hand back.

His fingers slipped free of his body with a hot sucking sound just as Sesshomaru freed himself from his robes, pushing into him hard and fast.

Kohaku arched his back and cried out shrilly with pleasure as he was filled by his Mate, his breaths escaping him in huffs and pleading, needy little whines as Sesshomaru shoved into him over and over.

He sank his fangs into the sweat-slicked, right side of Kohaku's venerable neck just as he spilled into him, sending him over the edge as well with another ragged sound of passion.

Sesshomaru scooped him up in his arms bridal-style when Kohaku went limp with sudden tiredness, his head resting on his Mate's shoulder and his eyes closed as he turned and walked to the bed.

He laid him down on the bed tenderly beside Kimere, then looked up at him with a reassuring smile when the other male glanced at Kohaku in concern then back to Sesshomaru's golden gaze searchingly.

"He will be alright. He's only tired. It is normal. He will be up and around again in ten minutes. Fifteen, tops. I guess that you will get to enjoy this fact now as well, Kimere."

"I.. Are you really sure about this, my lord?.. I love you, so.. the last thing that I would want ever is to harm your relationship with your Mate in any way. And, honestly.. I am thinking of myself, too.. If this is temporary, if you rethink this being permanent-"

"I will not, I assure you, Kimere. As will Kohaku. If you agree to this, then it will be forever, so don't you agree unless you are really sure that this is what you want. I mean it, honey. Do I make myself understood?.."

"Yes. I understand, my lord," he promised, trailing off into a silence that felt surprisingly comfortable, not stiff or awkward like it could have been.

Kohaku stirred from his rest not long after that, his ice-blue eyes opening slowly before he sat up on their bed, stretching his arms above his head with a soft groan, staring up from beneath his lashes at Sesshomaru with a heated, appreciative look. "Mmm.. Thank you, my love.."

"Of course, my Treasure."

Kohaku turned toward Kimere then, his blue eyes sated, but also inquiring and hungry. "So, did you decide on your answer to our proposal, Kimere?"

"Yes. I.. I accept. I will do as you ask, as long as your promise to care for the child and me, forever."

"We so promise," Kohaku agreed, opening his arms toward Kimere beckoningly, enfolding his fellow Submissive within his embrace tenderly when he came to him obediently, though he trembled visibly. "Shhh, sweet Kimere.. I'll not hurt you, ever, I swear it."

Kimere nodded, his lips parting unconsciously as Sesshomaru watched Kohaku take the third male down to their mattress, kissing Kimere to calm him as he removed his clothes and tossed them aside, his own following quickly.

Kimere cried out, obviously startled as Kohaku pressed their naked bodies together, skin on skin, running the palms of his hands down Kimere's sides and over his ribs, gentle and exploring, obviously enjoying the thought of taking the beautiful, sensitive creature beneath him.

He shivered, trembling and licking his lips as he stared up at Kohaku, not realizing how his slightly nervous expression just begged for love.

"Spread your legs for me, Kimere?" Kohaku requested quietly, kissing his lips to soften the muscles of his body where he lay under him with some obvious tension.

He nodded again, relaxing his leg muscles so that they spread out to either side of his hips obediently, actually moaning softly when Kohaku's warm hands took firm hold of his hips, obviously needing to just touch him somehow.

"..Please!" Kimere begged, tilting his head back on the pillows and spreading his legs wider, visibly trembling under Kohaku's hands. "I need.."

"Tell me," Kohaku ordered him with a sift growl, revealing a flash of fang where he was above him, their bodies pressing together intimately now. "Tell me what you need."

"Love me!" Kimere pleaded obediently, all his pain and longing clear, revealed in his beautiful green eyes as he gazed upward hazily. "Fill me with life! Give me a child.. Please.."

"I shall, Kimere. Open yourself to me, and it shall be done.."

As he said this, Kohaku plunged two fingers into his tight, virgin opening, aided by oil, smiling slightly as the innocent demon boy thrashed and wailed with pleasure at the slick touch of the other male's fingers inside him.

Kimere moaned again, helpless and wanting, submitting with a soft whimper as Kohaku's digits shoved deep into his anus, retracting then penetrating repeatedly into his body, drawing soft grunts and whining cries from Kimere's throat as he prepared him for the final act.

"Ahhh! Kohaku, yes, yes! Feels good!" Kimere cried, Sesshomaru watching with heated golden eyes, though there was also, unexpectedly, venerability there, pain in his gaze, quickly concealed.

Kohaku withdrew his fingers then gently, lifting Kimere's legs up into his shoulders and lining up their bodies, uniting them as he thrust his hips in one quick movement, causing Kimere to throw his head back, throat a tense arch, mouth opening soundlessly as tears spilled down from the corners of his leafy green eyes slowly.

"..Did I hurt you, Kimere?.." Kohaku asked softly, brushing his long blonde hair back from his delicate-featured face as he stilled where he was fully buried within him. "Are you alright?"

"Yes. Yes, I am alright. I'm not hurt. It feels.. wonderful."

"Good," Kohaku said with a tender smile down at him, kissing his plump, sensuous lips lightly, briefly.

"..Thank you.." Kimere whispered, more tears falling freely as he smiled up at him in return gratefully.

Kohaku nodded in acknowledgement down at him, then he was moving, slender hips pistoning strongly and drawing slightly strangled, breathless and well-pleasured cries from the male beneath him, enjoying his visible trembling and whimpers in reaction to Kohaku's first time in a top position.

"Are you good, Sweetness?.."

"Yess.." Kimere moaned, eyes closed as he panted softly, begging him again in a rough tone of voice. "Harder, please, Kohaku!"

Kohaku bit his own lower lip to hold back a moan as he obeyed his plea, but the desperate, needy sound broke free anyway when his Mate, his Sesshomaru reached out to him, causing Kohaku to shudder hard atop Kimere as the gorgeous, silver-haired demon male raked his long nails over his naked back erotically, though careful not to nick his skin for fear of the poison inherent to his regal bloodlines.

Sesshomaru smirked, satisfied by his lover's reaction to him, watching intently with his hot golden eyes as Kohaku came undone at his touch in immediate, intense and unfaltering response.

Kimere cried out sharply, sweat dripping from his body to soak his long hair as he arched his back, plastering it's strands to his elegant, bare shoulders wetly as his small hands clung to Kohaku's upper back tightly.

His face twisted with passion, more tears of joy falling from his leafy-green eyes, coming hard helplessly just as Kohaku filled his formerly innocent body with his seed of life.

Kimere's eyes fluttered closed then tiredly, but a small smile curved his sweet lips as he whispered softly before floating into slip just as Kohaku's oil-wet cock slid out of his slick hole, "..Thank you.."

Sesshomaru and Kohaku smiled tenderly at each other as he slipped out of Kimere's sated body.

Kohaku reached out to draw Kimere up against himself, holding him close lovingly in his arms, sighing quietly in clear contentment when Sesshomaru moved up behind Kohaku and wrapped his arm around his waist, holding him in the same manner that he held Kimere.
