Chapter 20

The Gift

Sesshomaru

I let out a frustrated sigh as I set my phone on the couch beside me. Father was, once again, calling for one of his family meetings and was requiring everybody to attend. For some unknown reason, he was having us meet at a fancy restaurant which means I will have to call Kaede to watch all four pups.

I'm not sure how well that will go over. Kagome has never left them alone before, and I'm not sure she is willing to leave their side just yet. Even I didn't want to. They were only a few weeks old after all.

Sighing once again, I stood to my feet to look for my mate. Before the pups had been put down for their nap, Ken'ichi had been sure to mark his mother. I had found it amusing, but Kagome, not so much. She was supposed to take a shower and return to me, however, it has already been quite some time.

I made my way up the stairs, enjoying the bit of quiet that was finally in my house. Everyone had gone off and done something for the day, and for once, it was only my family in my home. Too bad it wouldn't stay like that for long.

I silently walked into my room, and what I saw stopped me in my tracks. Kagome was fast asleep on the bed. What shocked me was the very naked state she was in. For the love of God…does this woman even remember how long it has been since I have taken her?

Even I can't remember exactly, however, I do know that it was before the pups were born. She has been fully healed for some time, but having two newborn pups with jealous older ones wasn't exactly easy. We haven't had one chance to ourselves since the birth of our pups.

Sure, she has sucked me off a few times, but that's not the same thing. I would give anything to bury myself within her tight walls again. I know I don't have to worry about her being loose from the birth due to her reiki. She would've healed as if she never even had children. Even her stomach had returned to its perfectly-flat self.

I sighed for what felt like the millionth time, adjusted my painfully-hard cock, and began walking towards my mate. I needed to wake her so that we could begin getting ready. Plus, I had to convince her to leave Ken'ichi and Aimi with Kaede.

Just as I reached her, she let out the most cock-twitching moan I had ever heard. This woman was evil. That was the only way I could describe her at the moment. She had pushed me too far, and there was no way I was not going to take my mate now.

Here she was, laying on the bed, naked, practically offering herself. Who was I to say no?

I looked at the baby monitor on my nightstand to see the twins still sleeping peacefully. I had about another hour before they woke up. That would be enough time for now. It has been a while after all.

I stripped faster than I ever had before, then gently climbed over the bed, not stopping until I had reached my mate. She mumbled slightly but remained asleep. Perfect. I pulled my hair over my shoulder so that it did not tickle her and went to work.

Wasting no time, my mouth clamped on to a nipple, and even in her sleep, Kagome arched beautifully for me. It was obvious she had either fed the pups or pumped before her shower as she really didn't have much milk at the moment. One of my hands found her other breast while a knee parted her legs. The moment I had her parted wide enough for me, I settled myself into one of my favorite positions.

My mouth was doing glorious things to my little female, and the taste of her flesh was doing things to me that I had forgotten could happen. I'm not sure how long I laid there, enjoying her breast, switching from one to the other.

In all honesty, I was surprised she hadn't woken up. I had fully expected her to have by now. Her body was aroused; the smell in the air told me that. She must have been more tired than I thought. For a second, I thought about stopping to let her sleep but then decided against it. We could sleep when we were dead.

I released a well-loved nipple and began trailing kisses down Kagome's body. She, of course, squirmed under me and whispered my name. It appears she was finally starting to wake up. It wasn't until I reached her core and gave a long lick that she fully came to.

Her hands shot to my hair and tangled in it while she moaned my name so loud, I wondered if she had woken the pups. When I was sure they were still asleep, I continued with my feast, making up for all of the weeks I had missed.

Every time Kagome found her release, I was forced to place a hand over her mouth to keep her from yelling out and waking our pups. Normally, she wouldn't be this loud, but I guess being celibate for so long changes people.

Finally, I had my fill of her and quickly made my way back up her body. When she had calmed some, and could form a coherent thought, she glared at me slightly, causing me to chuckle.

"I was finally getting some sleep, and you had to wake me up." She stated as I began kissing her neck gently.

"Hn. If you wanted sleep, you should not have gone to bed naked." I teased, moving my lips to her jawline while positioning myself at her opening. She would not deny me.

"I was really tired after my shower, you jerk." She grumbled. I used that moment to surge into her, causing both of us to groan in pleasure.

"Are you complaining?" I panted, remembering just how tight my little mate was.

"Why did you stop?" She moaned, pushing her hips up to mine. I chuckled again before giving her what she wanted.

It was in no way, shape, or form, easy. It had been too long for that. Even my beast was at the forefront of my mind, enjoying our female. Kagome didn't seem to mind at all, if the way I had to cover her mouth with mine to keep her quiet was any indication.

She hit her orgasm much quicker than I thought. She had never clamped down on me so tight before, and I was literally forced into my own. I was in no way disappointed though. While she milked me of everything I had, I buried myself to the hilt and filled her womb as much as possible.

She was lucky she was not fertile for, if she had been, there was no way she would not have conceived again. I had never before spilled in such a way, and I wasn't sure I would be able to perform for quite some time. There was nothing left to perform with.

When our nirvana finally ended, I collapsed against her sweaty body, both of us panting until we caught our breath. I nuzzled my nose into her chest while my arms tightened around her.

"That was wonderful." Kagome breathed.

"Indeed. Why did we wait so long again?" I asked, leaning up to kiss my mate gently.

"Because we have two newborn pups and two older ones that are feeling slightly left out." Kagome chuckled.

"How about we take just Shippo and Rin out tomorrow? They do not need to feel jealous of their siblings." I suggested, also as a way to test the water of Kagome leaving the pups behind. By her hesitation, it was easy to see she was thinking about it.

"I guess. I trust Kaede to care for them." She replied. "It's just going to be hard to leave them."

"Well, tonight can be your tester."

"Tester?"

-sSs-

Getting Kagome to leave the pups wasn't as hard as I thought. Although, the moment Kaede arrived, Kagome went over everything she possibly could about ten times. I literally had to drag my mate out of the house which resulted in us being late to the meeting.

We finally pulled up to the restaurant, and I looked over at Kagome who was looking at her phone again. I growled slightly before snatching the thing away. Kagome immediately tried to fight me for it, but I grabbed her wrist and held her back.

"Love, she said she would text you every hour. It has not yet been an hour, and staring at your phone will not make time go by any faster. Now, Father has asked us here for a reason, and we will put up with him long enough for us to return home." I reminded, watching as she sighed and nodded.

When I was sure she had calmed, I released her and stepped out of my new Bugatti. I quickly made my way to her door and opened it for her. I handed back her phone as she stood and watched her place it in her purse. We made our way inside, not stopping until we were escorted to the private room Father had reserved.

"There you are! We were wondering if you were going to show!" Father bellowed as he caught sight of us.

"Someone was instructing Kaede on how to do her job." I grumbled, looking down at my blushing mate.

"It's the first time I've had to leave them! Why are you being so mean?" Kagome countered, glaring at me. I raised an eyebrow at her before pulling out a seat for her to sit down.

"They will be perfectly fine, Kagome." Izayoi soothed. I sat down beside Kagome and picked up the menu.

When we had all decided what we wanted, we gave our order and sat back, waiting on our food. I could see Father looked nervous about something, and it was spiking my curiosity. However, I was a patient being and would continue to wait.

"As you all know, I called you here for a reason." Father called out, getting everyone's attention.

"Yea, what's up with that? Ayame and I were enjoying ourselves." Kouga interrupted, making Father glare at him.

"If I would be allowed to finish," Father reprimanded before continuing. "I am getting old–"

"Yea, no shit." InuYasha commented, ducking to dodge a knife that was suddenly thrown at him.

"I may be old, but I will still kick all of your asses! Now, if there is one more interruption, I will take you over my knee!" Father announced, taking the time to glare at everyone at the table, all except Kagome, of course.

"As I was saying, I am getting old. It has come to my attention that it is time to retire." He stated, causing quite a few people to gasp. I, myself, squeezed the glass in my hand so hard, it shattered. There was only one thing that could happen when he retired.

"I guess you figured it out, Sesshomaru." Father stated, reaching over the table and handing me a manila envelope. I grabbed it and slowly opened it. Just as I expected, it held the documentation to the office…the entire thing.

"As my heir, you will now own the office. From this moment on, it is yours, Son." Father announced. I was frozen as I stared at the paperwork in my hand. I could hear everyone congratulating me, but it wasn't until Kagome's small hand rested on my arm that I finally realized they were waiting on me to speak.

I looked at my mate who was smiling at me. I kissed her on her forehead before standing to my feet and bowing to my father.

"I thank you for this honor, and I will not disappoint you, Father." I assured, my hands trembling slightly although I tried to hide them.

"Stand up, Boy. I am not only retiring from the work field. It has long been time for me to hand the reins to you, however, you needed to prove yourself first. Mating Kagome and siring your own pups has shown me that you have what it takes to be alpha, Son. It is time you step up and take what is rightfully yours." Father said, making me stand up straight and my eyes widen.

Alpha.

He was making me alpha.

I watched as he bared his neck to me, and my mouth dropped. The moment he showed me his submission, everyone at the table slowly bared their necks, accepting me as their leader. I looked around at everyone, surprised by what I was seeing. I was alpha.

I looked down at Kagome who was also baring her neck towards me. I held out my hand to her, and she gently took it so I could pull her to her feet. She was my mate which meant she was my alpha female. When she was standing, I licked her behind her ear, signifying just that.

"Thank-you, all. I will not fail any of you." I announced, tightening my hand around Kagome's. Everyone cheered as Father ordered a bottle of wine for everyone to celebrate.

Out of all the things that could have happened tonight, I most definitely was not expecting this. This was my pack. Everyone at this table was my responsibility, and I couldn't be happier.

-sSs-

Sorry it's taken so long, for not only this story, but for all of my others as well. I have been horribly sick, and although I am getting better, I still have a ways to go. Plus it seems as if life keeps slapping me in the face… Needless to say, this probably wasn't my best chapter, but I didn't want to make all of you wait any longer. There are two more chapters planned left to this story, and this one will be the last lemon. I wasn't really feeling the lemon so it's not my best, but I wanted to add at least one more. I hope you all still enjoyed though.

I will finish this story, before I post anymore to my others. In truth I am having trouble getting back into this one, which is why I want to finish it. If I don't do it now, I may never. Hopefully it won't take me that long. Lol.

I can only hope that everyone forgives me.

Slvephoenx: Thank you for your review. It's in Kagome's nature to forgive and forget, and that was what I was trying to add with bringing Kagura back. I am glad you liked it.
