I have no idea what's going on with my computer but some of my keys have been acting funky. I tried to catch all the errors but if I missed some, please excuse me *bows deeply*

Inuyasha bowed deeply as he set the plate of honeyed hen in front of Lord InuTaisho. "Dinner is served, my lord"

"That will be all" the powerful lord rumbled in his deep voice. He kept his eyes forward, on nothing in particular but Inuyasha got the feeling he was staring at his son.

The hanyou managed to peek up through his bangs as he backed against the wall & waited to serve. Sesshomaru's body language was rigid & hard to read as usual but his facial expression gave off frustration…irritation….annoyance….

"Tell us about your piano lessons, dear" the lady of the West, Inukimi, said, her voice soft & comforting but her facial expression as stoic as her husband's, "How is it having a new teacher?"

"The new teacher will do" Sesshomaru said simply, cutting delicately into his meat & bringing it slowly up to his mouth.

"& your academic tutor?"

"He is no longer needed. I am more knowledgeable than he"

Inukimi nodded & InuTaisho smirked. They always were very proud of how incredibly smart their son was though they never actually said so out loud. Inuyasha always did watch their body language & the subtle looks the lord & his lady gave each other so he was familiar with their language….Sesshomaru, on the other hand…he felt he knew practically nothing about.

"All the work you have been putting in, I'm sure you have considered your ball this winter, yes?" InuTaisho asked, forking a piece of hen into his mouth.

Sesshomaru's eyes wandered off to the left, uncertain.

"Surely you are interested in girls now & wish to be married soon?" Inukimi said, raising a slender eyebrow & leaning forward in anticipation.

The young heir flexed his jaw a few times but did not respond.

"You will speak when spoken to, Sesshomaru" InuTaisho said sternly.

"Marriage is not in the forefront of my mind" Sesshomaru said, "I hold no value is companionship unless it is my sword by my side"

InuKimi looked concerned but InuTaisho was fighting a smile. He raised Sesshomaru to be a warrior so he was proud that his son showed more interest in taking a sword than taking a maiden's hand in marriage. The boy was young, he should enjoy everything life had to offer before he settled down. Inuyasha did his best to keep his eyes down on the floor.

"I age more everyday. I would enjoy the seed of my son before I grow old" InuKimi said a little curtly.

"You will get your grandchildren one day, sweet one, let him enjoy being a man before he has to settle down" InuTaisho defended playfully, patting his wife on her slender hands.

"You make it as if he cannot enjoy life while being settled down. Is that why you postponed our wedding as long as you did?"

"Uh…um, sweet one-"

They went back & forth playfully. Inuyasha had done his best to keep his eyes on the floor but now he couldn't resist glancing up. Sesshomaru's eyes were on his plate & his brows were furrowed in thought. Inuyasha couldn't see Sesshomaru being married off to some woman who thought she could get everything with just a bat of her lashes. Maybe it was because he was biased & a little jealous already but he was positive he'd be a better match for the prince than any princess in this kingdom.

Sesshomaru's eyes met his & his breath caught. He never got tired of looking at the beautiful prince, not while he was sleeping, awake, bathing, training [oh he loved to watch him train with his clothes soaked in sweat & sweat droplets running down his face], or studying. Each time they made eye contact it was like looking at a gorgeous piece of art from angles you didn't even know was ther-

"Servant"

Inuyasha blinked & quickly dropped his eyes. "Yes, mi'lady?"

"Fetch me more wine. I cannot deal with my husband's nor my son's antics sober"

The half breed bowed while the lord of the West let out a bellowing laugh. "Yes ma'am. Right away"

He took a step back towards the kitchen but not before glancing up at the love of his life & found the inuyoukai prince staring at him with a longing expression. Inuyasha sent him a wink & smirked when Sesshomaru abruptly looked away.

…

..

.

Inuyasha had just lit the last candle when his door opened with a soft sigh & Prince Sesshomaru stepped through before he closed it behind him silently.

"Hey" Inuyasha whispered, walking up to his lover to wrap his arms around the slender waist. He leaned forward for a kiss but wasn't surprised when Sesshomaru leaned away. The inuyoukai was still getting used to this whole romance thing.

"Why did you not serve dessert tonight?" the prince asked.

The hanyou smirked. "You missed me?"

Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes but didn't respond. At this point Inuyasha didn't expect one.

"I had to prepare tomorrow's breakfast…& all 'a this"

Sesshomaru took a moment to survey the small room. Big down pillows & fluffy blankets made a surprisingly comfortable bed in the far right corner of the room. The red candlelight casted a sultry glow, making the demon price's stomach flip with excitement & mischief. It was then he noticed Inuyasha's kimono was open, revealing a nicely shaped torso. Sesshomaru was tempted to run his fingers over the hard muscle.

"Ya like?" Inuyasha asked, his voice husky.

Instead of responding Sesshomaru gently tugged at the hanyou's sleeve & watched as the silk slid off of his skin like ice across glass. Goosebumps trickled up Inuyasha's forearm & bicep & the tiny hairs stood on end. He smelled so good, like caramel & honey & fresh baked sweet bread…& sex…

Inuyasha's ears twitched when a short phrase fell from Sesshomaru's lips so softly, it sounded like a cloud falling on the floor. "Hmm?"

"I want you" Sesshomaru whispered again. His eyes were on Inuyasha's full lips, glittering & sparking like a flint was being struck somewhere in his skull.

For Sesshomaru to admit such a thing had Inuyasha's pulse racing. This was progress! Before, the dog demon wouldn't even allow the half breed to hug him, much less even touch his face. In the halls the hanyou got used to being ignored & overlooked & even learned not to take it personal when Sesshomaru talked down to him. He always felt it was a front so they weren't caught. Kami only knows what punishment InuTaisho would have in store for them both if their relationship was ever found. But that train of thought would only lead to anger & this was not the time for that.

"Then lemme kiss you" Inuyasha whispered.

Sesshomaru opened his mouth to say something but the hanyou pressed his lips to the other male's before a word could be uttered. His lips were as soft as the petals of a freshly bloomed rose & he smelled like sweet wood & some kind of cologne. It made Inuasha's stomach quiver. Sesshomaru had stiffened up at first but seemed to relax a little now; his hands relaxed on the hanyou's forearms & even though he didn't kiss back he opened his mouth, allowing the servant to explore. Inuyasha let a moan slip on accident but covered it up with a low growl.

"You taste so good…" he whispered.

"Stop it" Sesshomaru said as if he was blushing.

Without warning, Inuyasha hoisted Sesshomaru up into his arms, much to the displeasure of the prince, & carried him over to his pillow bed, lying him down gently before climbing on top of him. Sesshomaru's eyes got huge & his hands held Inuyasha still though whether it was out of fear of continuing or fear of stopping, neither of them knew.

"What is it?" the half breed asked, just as he was untying his obi.

The inuyoukai only looked up at him with bright gold eyes, uncertain & possibly afraid.

Inuyasha paused, his eyebrows rising into his hairline. "You're a virgin"

It was not posed as a question so there was no answer. The only thing Sesshomaru responded with was a narrowing of his eyes & his mouth set into an irritated line, like he didn't like it to be known he was a virgin.

"I mean there's nothing wrong with bein' a virgin. I'm just kinda surprised you are cause…you're royalty & get whatever you want & you're so gorgeous…not that I'm saying that should make you into a ho cause you really aren't but you still are very pretty-not that I'm saying you look girly or anyth-"

"Stop talking, Inuyasha"

Inuyasha exhaled slowly. "If this is not something you wanna do I'll understand but I promise….I'll be gentle. If it hurts just tell me & I'll stop, yeah?"

Sesshomaru relaxed a tiny fraction. The half breed slowly unclothed them both, keeping eye contact with his lover. He felt that if he looked away Sesshomaru would detect weakness or uncertainty & he'd panic or tell him never mind. He really did want to go slow & he wanted to respect Sesshomaru enough that if the inuyoukai didn't want to do it he could easily say no & they would stop….but he most certainly wanted to finally be able to make love to his prince.

Inuyasha slowly ran to back of his fingers over Sesshomaru's satiny smooth skin. There was not a single blemish on him besides a mole on his shoulder that somewhat looked like a heart. The hanyou watched as goosebumps slowly made their way down the inuyoukai's arms & chest & caused his nipples to pebble. Without thinking, Inuyasha leaned forward & gently took the right nipple in his mouth, sighing when Sesshomaru inhaled sharply & arched his back. He tasted like vanilla cream. He rolled his tongue over the nipple a few times before he went to the opposite one & did the same. Inuyasha ignored the blunt object poking him in his belly; he'd get around to that later.

"Kami…." the demon prince whispered. When Inuyasha glanced up at him, his eyes were closed & he was already panting.

Inuyasha straightened, his eyes half closed. "Just relax"

Sesshomaru watched curiously as Inuyasha inserted his index finger in his mouth & coated it with his saliva. He fought hard against the blush that was threatening to color his cheeks; Inuyasha kept eye contact the entire time he sucked on his finger.

"Relax" the hanyou whispered again & slowly slid the moistened digit through the inuyoukai's tight ring of muscle. Sesshomaru grimaced; it wasn't exactly a pleasant feeling. It felt like he had to…you know, go to the bathroom a little bit. He made an effort to breathe evenly so he could relax but he focused so much on that that he couldn't really focus on the finger…until Inuyasha inserted another finger.

Inuyasha started when Sesshomaru gave him a mean look. "D-does it hurt?"

"No" Sesshomaru said quickly & curtly.

"Oh s-sorry, guess I shoulda warned you"

The half breed ducked his head shyly, much to Sesshomaru's surprise which quickly turned into astonishment as his lover slowly lowered his head to lick the head of his cock. That little lick sent a shockwave of electricity all up & through Sesshomaru's body. He swallowed the little moan that bubbled up from his throat when Inuyasha did it again…& again…& again…but when the devious half breed took the head in his mouth Sesshomaru's hands on his mouth couldn't even hold back the moan. The feeling was incredible, so good it made the inuyoukai want to get away. Even if he wanted to though he couldn't, thanks to Inuyasha's strong hand gripping his thigh while the other hand was busy slowly scissoring him open.

"Kami…" Sesshomaru growled. Inuyasha's name almost slipped his lips but he knew what that would mean should he do so & that was not something he was ready to lose.

Much sooner than the demon prince would have liked, Inuyasha straightened, unconsciously licking his lips that was actually quite seductive. "You ready?"

Sesshomaru frowned before realization struck & swallowed the nervous knot that had begun to form in his throat. He nodded once. Inuyasha lifted the inuyoukai's slender legs & set them on his shoulders, kissing the ankles, the calves. Sesshomaru's eyes dropped half-mast. Was this what it as like to make love? To have someone practically worship your body with their lips?

Inuyasha pulled his lover closer, watching his face as he positioned his member at the prince's entrance. "If it hurts…"

"Let you know" Sesshomaru finished, "I know"

Painstakingly, the hanyou very slowly eased his throbbing dick through his lover's ring of muscles. He had to clench his teeth to keep himself from thrusting. He knew it was going to feel good but not this damn good. Oh Gods, he was in heaven. The way this right here felt, Inuyasha felt like he was about to die.

When he opened eyes he hadn't realized were closed he started. Sesshomaru's eyes were wide & watering, mouth opened like he was getting ready to say something.

Fear struck Inuyasha. "Does it hurt? Why didn't you say anything?"

A breath escaped Sesshomaru before he quickly sucked some more back in & a fat tear rolled down his temple into his hairline. Inuasha leaned forward & kissed the tear away, murmuring words of comfort to the male beneath him. He'd never felt so guilty in his life. To see someone as strong & stubborn & beautiful as Sesshomaru cry was very sobering.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry, please don't cry. Just tell me when it hurts so I can stop, ok? I don't want you to hurt, this is supposed to feel good. I don't want to hurt you"

Inuyasha's kisses trailed from the inuyoukai's temple to his eyelid, to his cheek then inally to the lips he'd been wantin to kiss for so long now. Surprisingly he got that wish. He kissed Sesshomaru very gently at first before making it firmer. If he didn't know any better he would've thought he'd died & gone to heaven. This was everything he hoped & dreamed of [besides a room full of those blackberry pastries Old Kaede made from scratch. They were pretty amazing].

"Keep going" Sesshomaru whispered so softly Inuyasha would've missed it if he'd been daydreaming.

The hanyou was going to ask him if he was sure but he didn't want to ask stupid questions so he very slowly pulled back then slid back in, watching the muslces in Sesshomaru's face twitch. He didn't seem to be in any pain but Inuyasha was all too aware that this kind of pain had no warning sometimes. Inuyasha repeated the action several times, very slowly, very gently, until Sesshomaru shifted impatiently.

"If you plan on making me climax before I die of old age I suggest you go faster"

"If you plan on cumming at all I suggest you relax so I don't hurt you"

"Excuse m-"

"Just 'cause it doesn't hurt right now doesn't mean you're past the pain" Inuyasha said, irritation coloring his voice.

Sesshomaru huffed & looked away, lips bunched angrily. Inuyasha sighed & kissed the long column of neck, a place he was surprised was one of Sesshomaru's [many] "spots". The inuyoukai fought it but his muscles still tensed, his back still arched & his breathing betrayed him.

"Can I make love to you now?" Inuyasha whispered & much to his surprise Sesshomaru answered.

"Yes"

The hanyou set the pace a little faster than before but not too fast that it would be hard to stop if he needed to. Sesshomaru was so tight & he smelled so damn good he had to really concentrate on not fucking his brains out…that would come one day…hopefully somewhat sooner cause Kami knows after this his hand was not going to cut it.

"Oooh…"

A vigorous shiver shook Inuyasha's body. "Ooh baby, you can't be growling like that. Baby, my self control is 'bout gone…"

Sesshomaru tangled one hand in his hair & the other gripped his lover's forearm. "I….I didn't think it would feel this-oh! Oh, Kami!"

Immediately, the hanyou stopped, his eyes wide & his heart pounding. "What? Did I hurt you?"

"No, don't stop!"

The half breed started again, encouraged by the prince's panting & moaning. He suppressed a growl of pleasure when Sesshomaru rolled his hips up. Kami help him, he's gunna cum too fast, messing around with this guy.

"Ah, shit" Inuyasha rumbled. His legs were beginning to shake.

"Ohhh, God!"

Who knew Sesshomaru could be so…animated?

"Baby, ya gatta keep it down…"

The inuyoukai looked like he as about to say something smart but then his face registered confusion. "Inu…?"

"What?"

"I…I…ohhhhhh, shiiiiiiit"

Inuyasha fought the urge to close his eyes as he watched Sesshomaru's body go rigid, his eyes slowly roll into the back of his head, & his perfect teeth bite down hard on that full bottom lip. God he was a beautiful sight. Most of Inuyasha's partners made the most disturbing facial expressions when they climaxed but Sesshomaru…oh he could get used to that face.

The inuhanyou came hard as well & tried to keep his voice down by whispering & panting. Good God this had to be heaven! There was no way an earthly creature could ever stand the immense pleasure of such a climax.

"Mother of God…" Inuyasha breathed, collapsing beside Sesshomaru.

Neither seemed to mind that they were laying in the sticky results of their love making & sweat. Inuyasha sure didn't; he loved the smell of the man he loved. He glanced over at him to find the silver haired beauty staring at the ceiling through half closed eyes, his full lips parted & looking so kissable.

"Guess I don't need to ask if you enjoyed it" Inuyasha said.

The corner of Sesshomaru's mouth twitched upwards.

"Woulda been nice if I had some of that lavender oil Lady InuKimi loves…or if we'd made love that new Russian carpet we rolled in for Lord InuTaisho last week. It was so sof-uh, what are you doing?"

Sesshomaru stopped in the middle of running his hand over Inuyasha's half erect dick & blinked as if it just made sense. "I want to do it again"

"I…don't you want to like…rest a bit?"

"I have. Now I want more"

"But-"

"Are you disobeying me, servant?" Sesshomaru asked in mock anger.

Dispite himself, Inuyasha smirked. So they were going to roleplay? Fine. "No, Prince Sesshomaru I would never!"

"Then bend over & present yourself to me!"

"Whoa, too far. Too far, babe"
