Heeeee… so many reviews! Wow, I should withhold smut more often! Hahahaha… I didn't wait so long purposely, though, I promise you. My regular fans know that my sister passed away in May, and I've been helping my mom go through her things and get them ready for a yard sale. Seriously, my advice to anyone without life insurance—no matter HOW YOUNG you are, GET IT. A burial, even a cheap one, runs 8-10k and it has broken us. She was 28 and didn't have any insurance, and now we're all working to pay off the loan we had to take out for the funeral. SO GET IT.
That aside, we're also moving to where Sesshy's Mistress lives (yay! Two great writers in one town, weee!) so I've been packing and working extra hours to afford the move. Ugh. So, read on, enjoy your lime smut, and R&R!
Just as she opened her mouth to protest, Sesshomaru kissed her forcefully and wasn't surprised to feel her struggle against the arm pinning her down, so he stopped and simply held her there as he teased her inner thighs with his free hand. "Hn… this one has plans to give you great pleasure, Usagi. I did not expect you to submit easily, but I suggest that you cease your protestations."
Her blue eyes burning with anger, she glared up at him silently for a long moment before speaking. "Go choke on that ego, Lord Fluffy."
"Hm, most amusing. This Sesshomaru will educate you on how to properly address him," he chuckled before nipping at her ear. "I shall have you reciting my name properly by the time we are finished with the lesson. Over and over," he breathed as he trailed his mouth down her throat.
Brain growing fuzzy from the way he was slowly worshiping her skin with his lips, teeth and tongue, Usagi couldn't trap the helpless sound that escaped her when he reached her breast and drug a fang over the nipple. "Ok, ok! Your name is Sesshomaru, I get it! Now please stop it before—" She was cut off by his right hand stroking her sex once more and ended the sentence with a strangled moan, her hips arching off the futon and into his skilled fingers. But then he stopped again and she writhed, her body begging for more even as her mind was still trying like hell to resist him.
"This Sesshomaru warned you not to move," he sighed, retreating his claws to her curls, lightly stroking her as he delicately traced a nipple with the tip of his tongue. It was when she stilled and he returned to gently rubbing her clit that he smelled salt and looked up to find her crying.
That sight froze even his beast and wilted his arousal, and the inu lord immediately released her, gazing down at her in genuine concern. "Usagi… did this one harm you?"
Sobbing softly, she looked away from him and curled up on her side. "I told you to stop," she finally choked out.
Honestly stumped, Sesshomaru sat back and studied her silently, unable to make neither heads nor tails of the situation. "This Sesshomaru was going to pleasure you."
"I said no!" She yelled, sitting up and shoving at him hard. And when he growled at her, she bared her teeth in response, her eyes flickering to silver. "No means no, asshole! When a woman says no, you stop!"
"You are aroused… heavily so. And this one was not going to take you, so he does not understand your reluctance… or your anger."
The fire leaving her eyes, Usagi wiped at her tears and shook her head in exasperation. Clearly, he really didn't understand how things worked with humans and was going to need a few lessons. "You just don't do that, Sesshomaru. When a woman asks you to stop, you do it. Just because you've aroused her body doesn't mean that her heart is on board with it. And on top of it, I don't feel well, so just give me a damned break, ok?"
"Your fever aside, it is the youkai way. A female is aroused and a male takes care of her needs," he protested sharply. "How is this a bad thing?"
"Look, I know you don't get it, but it's not how humans do things! Ask Kagome if you don't believe me! I don't know how else to explain it, Sesshomaru! You can't just pin me down and decide that you're going to punish me or whatever for calling you 'Lord Fluffy.' Hell, you call me 'healer' or 'megami' instead of by my name."
"Ah. This Sesshomaru sees, now. You do not wish to be punished. It is demeaning to you as a female."
"I also want to be respected, damn it. If I say no to something, stop what you're doing. You can't just force yourself on me like that, Sessh. Even if you are just getting me off. Ask or something, damn it."
"Ignoring the fact that you just addressed me disrespectfully yet again…" The inu lord smirked as he gently pushed her back down onto the futon and nipped at her lower lip. "May this Sesshomaru give you pleasure?" His smirk widened a bit when she just stared at him wordlessly. "I am asking... as you have requested. No more inu mating games."
That made Usagi blink and sigh in understanding. "That was a game." Damn it, and now she was wording questions as statements just like he was! Ergh!
"Of course. Inu like mating games. This Sesshomaru is no exception to the rule, and mating games can be quite enjoyable for both parties." Never mind that he'd never actually played one before; he'd only read about them in books since he'd never partnered with a single female youkai more than once. He'd fantasized about it, though, and Usagi had seemed like a prime candidate to try it out with.
He huffed at the disbelief in her eyes and drew back again. "You thought that this one was genuinely angry with you and was truly punishing you." Her nod made him rub the bridge of his nose in agitation and he realized that they both had an awful lot to learn about the other before a coupling was even possible. If they didn't, one of them would most likely do something to scare or anger the other and the shit would hit the fan. "We shall both teach each other our customs, then."
"Starting with this," Usagi said, beckoning him over, no longer angry with him. When he complied and was kneeling right in front of her, she leaned in and kissed him, keeping the motions slow and soft. And when she pulled away she found his eyes turning a little pink, his arousal evident through his hakama. "We've never even been intimate, Sesshomaru. Usually two people wait until they've had sex quite a bit before they break out the kinky stuff like games. But," she added when he opened his mouth, "I guess I'm willing to play a game if I decide to sleep with you. Maybe even now, but just… keep it light—nothing crazy. Ok?" When he nodded once, she kissed him again, running her fingers over his markings, but when she reached his jaw and her hand travelled to his throat, he snatched it up and she gasped.
"Do not touch this Sesshomaru's neck," he choked out, fighting down his inner demon. "If I were to allow it, it would be a sign of submission."
"Oh. Sorry," she whispered. Usagi smiled when she switched her grip so that she was grasping his hand in turn, and drew it to her own throat. "Better?"
"Much," he purred, caressing the tender flesh, careful not to prick her in such a vital area. "This sort of gesture displays immense trust in a male, Usagi."
"Why wouldn't I trust you? You saved my life, Sesshomaru."
"No female has allowed this one such a liberty," he rumbled thoughtfully as he gently traced her carotid with a single claw. "It would be so easy to kill a female while mating her, so simple to err in the heat of the moment… hm… you must have enormous faith in my control, Usagi." Strange, how that was the highest compliment he'd ever been paid by a member of the opposite sex.
"I do." Gods, having his fingers caressing her neck felt wonderful, and she couldn't help but want to kiss him just then. She hummed with pleasure when it was like he was reading her mind and his lips slanted over hers, but when she tried to deepen it after a few moments, he pulled away sharply. "What's wrong? Don't youkai French kiss?"
"Inu youkai don't kiss at all," he informed her.
A slow smile spread over her mouth at that. "So… I was your first kiss when you were shutting me up?" When he nodded, she slid back and gestured for him to lay down. "Come on, Sesshomaru, you're going to have your first genuine make-out session. Call it a learning experience," she added when he hesitated.
"Touching and exploring?"
"Anything goes except sex," she confirmed. "But if I ask you to slow it down…?" Another nod had her smiling softly up at him. "Well… then come on, already. I ain't got all day, Lord Sexy."
Unable to stop it, Sesshomaru laughed at that and was still chuckling when he laid down beside her. "Disrespectful as hell, but this one shall let it go."
"Damn right, you will. Now lay down," she giggled, rolling on top of him… only to be dumped onto her back by a growling daiyoukai, her ear pinched between his fangs. "Ok?" She squeaked. "What did I just do wrong?"
Forcing his demon to calm down, Sesshomaru finally released her earlobe and huffed down at her in annoyance. "The female is never on top. This is something that this Sesshomaru will not allow. Understood?"
"You could have just said so and not gotten all snappish, honey. Geez, I nearly peed myself. And for the record, I am a spectacular lover when I'm top, thank you very much. You don't know what you're missing, Sesshomaru."
"This one does not, and never will know. I am an alpha inu male; I shall never allow a female to dominate me." He flinched and clenched his teeth when she tugged at the sash holding his kimono in place, resisting the urge to clamp down on her ear again. "And the male disrobes both himself and the female. You must lie still, Usagi."
"Where is the fun in that?" She sighed. "I don't enjoy just lying there, Sesshomaru. I like to participate. Please?"
"Explain," he ordered as he sat up and removed his kimono and toed off his boots, leaving him in only his hakama and fundoshi. "Perhaps we reach a compromise."
Relieved that he was willing to make some concessions, Usagi sat up and couldn't help but lightly stroke the tanned, ripped chest in front of her. "Normally, a woman touches and pleases the man just as much as he does for her."
"But that is not complete submission," he grumbled.
"Tell you what? Let's… let's just work on kissing for a little bit. Kissing and a little bit of exploring," she amended, unable to deny her own desire to touch him freely. "Don't youkai touch each other during sex at all? Or just the male?" Before he could even answer, she was shaking her head. "Why don't you just explain the basics to me… how it works with youkai. So I know what to expect?"
Pleased with this line of questioning, Sesshomaru lay on his side and tugged her down to join him. "Youkai mating is typically fast, hard and brief, and only lasts long enough to ensure the pleasure of both parties, unless the female is a virgin." He sensed her flinching a little at that and stopped himself before he nipped at her ear in admonishment. "You have a problem with that."
Turning a little red as she tried to word her response, Usagi shrugged. "Youkai don't… make love?"
"This one is not familiar with such a term. Explain."
"Well, making love… there's a lot of kissing and petting and foreplay. Wait, do youkai even have foreplay?" She asked as she fluffed her hair thoughtfully.
Fairly sure he understood her meaning, Sesshomaru briefly bared his fangs in a grin before he went back to his usual non-expression, and he noted the way that her arousal increased at the sight of him almost smiling. "Youkai will sometimes fight before mating; inu youkai however…" He gave her that brief grin once more, awfully amused by the thought of how she'd react to being pinned down with his teeth and fucked soundly. "This one would coerce submission from a female if need be, since her scent called him in the first place. Touching and licking beforehand is common when claiming a virgin bitch in heat."
"Let's get something straight," Usagi snorted. "If you ever refer to me as a bitch, or your bitch… I will put you through a fucking wall. Understood?"
Aware of the double meaning of the word among humans, Sesshomaru actually chuckled before tipping his head in understanding. "Explain more about making love. I would not want to unintentionally do something taboo where human mating is concerned."
She smiled gently up at him and gave his hand a little squeeze, and was surprised when he looked down at their joined fingers and returned the gesture. "You have an awful lot to learn about human gestures of affection," she said sweetly. "But that's ok, we'll work on it. And making love… it's slow, gentle…" She chuckled when he lifted an incredulous silver brow. "What?"
"Then how is it pleasurable in the least?" Sesshomaru muttered. His body responded to that beautiful, silver bell-like laugh and the way she leaned into him while she got it out of her system. "This one is serious."
"If you let me actually touch you and participate, it's very enjoyable," Usagi assured him. She squeaked a little in alarm when he suddenly rolled on top of her and nipped at her chin. "Sesshomaru?"
"Show me," he ordered softly, his golden eyes glittering with a mixture of desire and curiosity. "All of it." Noting that she was still a little hot, he brushed his lips against hers. "All but for the actual mating," he corrected.
Still ridiculously aroused from before, Usagi nodded her consent and trailed her nails lightly down his back, making him growl softly in a mixture of pleasure and disapproval. "You have to trust me, Sesshomaru; as much as I trust you. Now… open your mouth a little," she breathed against his lips, leaning up for a kiss.
It took him a full minute of slow, sweet kissing before he cracked his lips open, and the inu lord found himself gasping in surprised pleasure at the first stroke of her tongue over his. Gods, she tasted amazing… even better than she smelled, and when she slanted her mouth over his for a better angle and carefully began to explore the inside of his mouth, he groaned and gradually returned it, tasting her in turn. And before Sesshomaru knew it, his inner demon was taking over, his eyes bleeding red and his markings growing jagged as he devoured the golden-haired woman beneath him, her soft noises of pleasure echoing into his mouth as she moaned and whimpered with need.
It was Usagi's turn to gasp when she felt his arousal grinding into her core in a slow, lazy motion as the daiyoukai pinning her communicated his desire for her without words, and she found herself unable to stop from hooking a leg about his waist and rocking up in response. "Sesshomaru," she gasped between kisses, "if… you need me… to…"
"Yes," he growled when he felt her hand travelling south, a groan escaping him the moment she stroked him shyly through his clothing. He rewarded her with a nip to her throat, using his nose to tip her head back in total submission as he stroked her in turn and she moaned loudly. Gods, it was like music to his ears. "Want you now," he whispered as he jerked down his hakama and fundoshi and tossed both to the side. "Transform," he ordered hoarsely.
"But… you said…" Usagi was silenced with a ravenous red-eyed stare and swallowed in reaction; damn if he wasn't terrifying when his demon was fully loosed… but he was also ridiculously arousing, as well. Guess I have to blame Vincent and Alucard for turning me on to inner demons, she mused. Grasping at her power, she licked her lips as she transformed… but then nothing happened.
"Try it again," he ordered roughly, fighting down every urge to flip her over and drive forward. Sesshomaru felt that familiar flicker of light within her, but when nothing happened again he growled loudly in frustration. "Relax and this Sesshomaru will properly prepare you," he commanded imperiously.
Usagi instantly balked at that, and when she struggled and he immediately pinned her and nipped at her ear hard enough to draw blood, she whimpered in fear. "Please don't, Sesshomaru. Please don't do this… I can give you relief if you need it, just lay down."
Her shaky offer wasn't what made him relent, it was the taste of her silver-edged blood from where he'd scratched her earlobe with his teeth… and the lingering taste of illness within it. And she was still hot, far too hot for even his demon to ignore. With every ounce of self-restraint he possessed, his markings grew a little less jagged as he kissed her fiercely, growling and nodding in approval when he released her hands and she began to stroke him gently. Then he heard her asking him between kisses to lie down and he shook his head. "This one will not submit, megami."
"It's not submission," she whispered as her hand circled him and stroked upwards, her mouth kissing over his chest. "If anything, it's me submitting and not you." When he growled again, she managed a shaky smile and pushed at his hips. "Then stand up," she suggested.
That was something Sesshomaru could comply with, and even his demon was curious enough to allow him to separate from her warmth and climb to his feet. But when she rose onto her knees and kissed his inner thigh, he realized what she was about to do and stepped away. "No."
"And why the hell not?" Usagi snorted in amusement. "You've done the same for women and—oh. Heh… fangs, I got it." She grinned at that, showing off her pearly whites. "See? Blunt. And I know what I'm doing; I'm not going to hurt you, Sesshomaru." While he seemed to be considering the offer, she dipped forward and ran her tongue over the length of him and chuckled when he let out a soft groan. "And since I'm running a fever, I'm sure I'll feel awfully warm," she whispered in an attempt to convince him to let her continue. Still, there was hesitation in his eyes, even after she scooted closer and ran a single open-mouthed kiss over the weeping head of his cock. "I can always stop if you say so, Sesshomaru… just show a little trust," Usagi breathed, the warmth of it tickling him and making him shiver. "It'll feel so good."
His demon was rising up again in utter lust and as he gave a minute nod and she began to slowly kiss and lick at his throbbing arousal, Sesshomaru gripped her hair roughly and uttered a loud groan. "Yes," he hissed out. "More."
Her fear receding at his utter enthrallment with her oral skill, Usagi smiled slightly as she took half of his length in her mouth and sucked gently, careful not to let him feel so much as a scraping of her teeth. She was rewarded with another loud utterance of pleasure, and encouraged by the sound, she began a slow rhythm while she constantly bathed him with her tongue and sought out every little spot that would make him crazy.
She discovered one of those areas on the underside of his shaft, and when he fisted her hair tighter and thrust forward with a snarl, she moaned in response and tongued it again, feeling him quicken and harden further. But then she was pulling back and teasing the head, her eyes twinkling up at him mischievously.
You ought not to tease him, the Tensaiga warned.
Yeah, I'd have to agree, the ginzuishou added seriously. Unless you feel like having this body fucked into the floorboards.
Oh fine, Usagi giggled in reply when the inu lord she was pleasuring growled down at her once and bared his teeth demandingly. "Shh," she soothed him. "I won't deny you your pleasure, honey." She then took him as deep as she could, her tongue laving that spot generously while she sucked and her throat contracted around him. Usagi found herself moaning when he unexpectedly panted her name, totally turned on by his desire for her, her hands gripping his hips as she took him straight to the edge of heaven.
And then he was coming, groaning something strangled from between his teeth as he was washed in a tsunami of pleasure that wiped his mind clean for several moments, his eyes rolling back in rapture. The daiyoukai lord was slightly embarrassed when he felt a pair of arms catch him; the pleasure had been so great, so intense that he'd actually collapsed onto his knees and was now leaning against her for support. "A—Amazing," he gasped. "Never has this Sesshomaru felt such pleasure."
"Heh… do I get to say 'I told you so' on this one?" Usagi chuckled. "Because I did tell you I was quite skilled with my mouth."
"If you utter such a thing, this one will not reward you as he had planned," he purred with a nip to her throat.
"Depending on the reward, I may be convinced to shut up," she replied with a sly grin. "Well?" She asked after several moments of waiting.
"This one was curious as to just how long you would shut up. You lasted only twelve seconds."
Jaw hanging up, Usagi could only gape, then lightly slapped his ass. "Tease!"
"This Sesshomaru does not tease," he countered with a hint of a laugh as he tipped her onto her back, followed by a slow raking of his teeth down her throat. "Now… this one has allowed you to teach him about a human mating custom. I believe it is my turn to teach."
Before Usagi could reply, she was flipped onto her stomach, then drawn up onto her knees with one of his strong arms wrapped about her waist. "Sesshomaru?" She asked hesitantly. Sure, he was still flaccid, but he was pressing intimately to her folds, and while it was a turn-on, it was still terrifying because of her current form.
"Relax. Trust."
That was all she'd asked of him before, so Usagi nodded and tried to still the trembling in her weakened arms—he must have noticed her discomfort though, and she sighed with relief when she was lowered onto her chest, her pert behind still sticking up in the air. "Ok… I'm ready to trust," she whispered in trepidation. Her anxiety melted, though, when she felt him carefully probing her entrance, gently moving his fingers so as to avoid nicking her with his claws. "Mmm… why not on my back?" She mumbled inquisitively.
"Utter submission," Sesshomaru breathed in her ear. "Now, stay silent unless you wish for this one to punish you."
Knowing that it was just a game, due to what he'd explained before, Usagi snorted and rolled her eyes. "What if it feels good? I have to stay quiet the whole time?" She yelped when she felt a sting on her ass, followed by a slow, warm caress that had her whimpering with pleasure. "Damn, I'm such a freak," she muttered. Another admonishment came for her speaking out of turn and she yelped again, only to moan when his hand was replaced with a wet tongue stroking over the sting.
Sesshomaru grinned, then drug his fangs over her reddened skin, pleased when she moaned yet again. "Unless you are voicing your sheer delight with this Sesshomaru, you are to remain silent. Hn… you may beg, as well," he added as an afterthought.
"Heh, I'm not the begging type," she countered, jumping and gasping the moment his hand came down on her other cheek just hard enough to sting a little.
"No, you are the type that does not know when to shut up," he snorted before dipping his face a little lower.
A soft moan escaped her lips when she suddenly felt his tongue stroke over the crease of her sex, and her body moved instinctively to give him better access, which was met with another arousing pop to her bottom. "Sesshomaru?"
"Do not move. This is how I would prepare you for mating, Usagi."
"By slapping my ass and shoving me onto my face?" She snickered. "Wow, how romantic!"
Concealing his own tiny grin, Sesshomaru whacked her lightly and nipped at her inner thigh before giving her another slow lick. "This Sesshomaru would not normally strike you… but since you seem to enjoy it… strange woman," he added with a chuckle. "Now do not speak or move if you wish for this one to continue."
"Yes, Master Sesshomaru," Usagi giggled, and only laughed harder when he didn't whack her for speaking. "What, was that one allowed?"
"This one thought he would allow it, since you rarely address him so respectfully," the inu lord replied wryly. Before she could open her mouth again, he jerked her to his mouth and growled in approval at the taste of her when he slipped his tongue into her heat, his beast coming loose and taking control, lapping up the proof of her desire like it was some sort of treat. Gods, she tasted amazing! And the delightful little sounds she was making were like music to his inner demon's pointy ears as she made an obvious effort not to move, her hands fisting in the sheets beneath her.
It wasn't until his tongue began to pay special attention to her clit that Usagi lost control and moaned loudly, her body rocking back in a silent plea for more, and when he drew his face away from her she squirmed. "I didn't tease you, Sesshomaru, so please don't do it to me!" She whined.
Grasping her hips, he smoothly flipped her onto her back and ran his teeth lightly over her thigh. "Tell me, megami… have you had pleasure in this body? Or only the others?"
"Not in this one," she replied breathlessly. "So please don't stop, Sesshomaru. Please!"
Humming in approval, he gave her one slow lick just to hear her whimper his name, then slipped his fingers inside of her. His careful, lazy thrusting had her moaning loudly despite the touch of discomfort she felt from being stretched, and Sesshomaru licked his lips at the sight of her head rolling back, exposing her throat in an inu sign of submission. "This one will not deny you, either, Usagi."
She couldn't even reply before she felt his tongue returning to her sex, gently flicking her clit, and combined with the movement of his hand she was writhing and gripping at his hair. But even though she was moving, he didn't stop and the moment she began to crest, he began to suck, sending her hurtling over the edge with a loud cry of his name.
"Satisfied?" The daiyoukai purred as he lapped up the results of his handiwork. "Or do you require more?"
"Mmm…"
"Usagi?"
"Thought you didn't… want me to talk…" she whispered deliriously, a tiny smile of utter satisfaction on her lips. Usagi felt warm when she heard him suddenly laugh, and when she felt his lips on hers she opened to him and sighed happily when he kissed her deeply.
"You should sleep," he finally said once they'd broken the kiss and he was nibbling at her throat. "This one should have made you rest instead of indulging his inner demon."
"Mmm… I'm cool with the indulgence, trust me… that was awesome, Sessh." A nip to her ear made her giggle again and she cracked open her eyes to see his typical frown, only it was coupled with a light of amusement in those golden orbs. "Oh come on, your name is almost as much a mouthful as your cock, Sesshomaru. Even I have nicknames. I'm Usa in this body and Sere in my goddess form."
"This one does not do nicknames," he snorted. "Unless it is to refer to the hanyou as 'the whelp.'"
"Ah, you're such a people person," she remarked, tugging the blanket up around both of them, shivering slightly. She yawned then and snuggled into him, uncaring as to whether or not he would allow it. It felt nice, and she'd always been a snuggler, with or without sex being involved.
Her snuggling was cut short when there was a knock at the door, and Usagi sighed when Sesshomaru immediately snarled and rolled off of the futon to don his hakama. "At least they didn't interrupt," she pointed out.
That was true, Sesshomaru noted silently. If anyone had knocked while they'd been enjoying each other's bodies, he would have put the visitor through a wall. "Cover up," he ordered when he scented his brother just outside, fighting down that foreign emotion called jealousy. No one would see her nude and live to tell the tale. No other male, at least.
"What."
Inuyasha tried for an easy-going grin when his elder half-brother cracked open the door and glared at him, but it quickly became a smile and a waggling of his eyebrows when he saw Sesshomaru's bare chest and smelled sex coming off of him strongly. "Did I interrupt anything?" He snickered.
"Believe me… if you had, this Sesshomaru would be killing you right now. I ask again… what."
"Kagome wanted to come up, but since Usagi's still sick, I convinced her to stay put… after she 'sat' me four or five times," he added with a grumble. "She wanted to make sure Usagi was getting better. She is, isn't she?"
"The healer is recovering, but still runs a fever. Is that all?" Sesshomaru asked, itching to shut the door.
"Kaede said she wouldn't be contagious once she drank that potion."
Seeing the way Inuyasha was shifting a little nervously, Sesshomaru let out a sigh of annoyance, turned to make sure that Usagi was covered, then swung the door open. "The miko ordered you to get visual confirmation. Why you follow the orders of a woman so blindly is beyond this one's ken, whelp."
"Because she can sit his ass a million times," Usagi answered with a chuckle. "And give Inuyasha a break, Fluffy," she added lightly, smirking knowingly when he growled, knelt, and nipped at her ear. "Fine, I'll stick to Lord Sexy, then. Better?"
"You are trying this one's patience, Usagi. Lie down and rest; you are still hot to the touch." Unthinkingly, he followed up with another nip, but to her throat instead, then helped her lay down while keeping her covered to his brother's eyes. "Satisfied, hanyou? She is well enough to annoy me." The troubled, intense look on the hanyou's face had him concerned, and Sesshomaru stood and led him back outside. "What is wrong."
Fidgeting, Inuyasha wasn't sure how to answer without irking his brother, but tried anyway. "I wasn't exactly a slut before Kagome, but I'd had my share of women, Sesshomaru… and I never, ever nipped at the throat with any of them. Except for Kagome."
His eyes going wide for a split second, then narrowing dangerously, the inu lord realized his error and growled. "This one has been caring for her for days. It is… nothing more than… simple affection. Nothing more," he repeated.
"Sesshomaru, if you like her, there's nothing wrong with that. I can smell sex on you… but you didn't actually mate her while she's sick, did you?" A silent glare answered his question and he shrugged. "Well… I know you don't need advice, but—"
"You are correct, this Sesshomaru does not require advice of any sort in regards to females. Go home to your mate, whelp."
R&R people! Please! It's been such a long past week!
