Chapter Twelve: Not like this

Sesshomaru

Everything stopped for the demon lord as soon as their lips touched. Rin's lips were as soft as feathers against his and he was almost afraid she'd break, so he let her explore him and take lead on how this was to go. She tasted like honey as his lips moved in sync with hers but far too soon she pulled back.

Sesshomaru did not move an inch and Rin leaned her forehead against his, her eyes still shut tightly as she breathed rapidly.

"Rin.." he whispered.

Her eyes fluttered open as she said breathlessly, "...My Lord"

The yearning look in her eyes told him everything he needed to know, she wanted him too. Without another thought, he grabbed the back of her neck and swiftly brought her lips back to his.

Rin

She felt as if she was dreaming, a wonderful dream she'd hoped never to wake up from. It had been months now that she realized just how deep her affections for him went but she'd never acted on them until now.

He kissed her as if he was starving, he bit her bottom with his front teeth forcing her to open her mouth. Sesshomaru swirled his tongue against hers, carefully not to prick her with his sharp fangs. Rin eagerly obliged him and deepened the kiss.

The kiss she had initiated was her first. She'd never had the urge to kiss anyone before and the feelings that came before it were new to her as well. This was uncharted territory for her, yet kissing this man felt as easy as breathing.

Rin wrapped her arms around his neck and Sesshomaru slowly ran his clawed hands down her sides. He gripped her hips tightly and lifted her, allowing both of her legs to wrap around his waist as he sat crisscross.

Sesshomaru trailed kisses down her jugular and began to suck lightly on her neck. Rin moaned at the sensation and leaned her head back to allow him more access, this small action caused her breasts to push into his bare chest and her lower regions to rub against his. A strained moan left her lips at the shocking pleasure she felt.

Quickly, the demon Lord grabbed her wrists from around his neck and leaned them over until Rin laid against the ground with him on top of her. Both of her wrists still pinned above her head and Rin tightened her legs around his waist as the demon tried desperately to control himself.

Rin noticed his eyes began to bleed into a reddish color as his long silver hair fell like a silk curtain around her.

It astonished her that she could make the Great Lord lose his stoic composure, to make him look almost feral, it was a side of him she was unaccustomed to seeing. She had evoked this behavior between them, this intimacy and she craved for more.

Sesshomaru leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Anymore and I will not be able to stop."

His voice resonated in her ear, such an inhuman sound coming from him causing every hair on her body to stand up as she absorbed the implementation of his words.

Rin was prepared to give all that she was to him, her very life belonged to him and it always did. Yet, what would this mean? It was no secret of demon Lords distaste for humans and half breeds.

Although she was the exception to this notion, he had still chosen to leave her in a human village and he never had come for her. Even knowing the reason for his decision, it didn't lessen the wound still lingering in her heart. Afterall, she was a human and all she could give him is half demons. Even then, Rin had no desire for children.

As a child, she loved traveling with him but she was a moving target everywhere she went. Many demons, not just Naraku, wanted to exploit her as a weakness. Many who challenge Lord Sesshomaru's rule came to kill her, demon or otherwise just for being his ward. 'The little human the dog demon kept with him.' Rin could only imagine the repercussions of being his lover.

His father had a human lover and it ended in tragedy, yet she hoped this time would be different. He responded instantly to her when they kissed and it is undeniable that he wants her as she wants him but would it last?

"Do you wish to stop?" she questioned meekly.

Sesshomaru sighed, "No. But I will not take you like this."

Rin knew what he meant because she always understood him more than most, even Jaken who had traveled with him years before her. He didn't want to take her here on the ground.

Sesshomaru released her wrists and elevated them backwards until his feet were planted on the ground. The woman gripped onto his shoulders in response to being lifted, her thighs still wrapped around his waist. Rin began to slowly unwrap her legs from him and he kept his hands firmly on her waist as she placed her feet down. Rin looked up at him, unsure of how to proceed with this new development.

"I must go. We have much to discuss when I return." he said.

Rin nodded in understanding, "I will be leaving back towards the West today."

Sesshomaru brought his lips to hers in a passionate kiss.

"I will find you." He promised.

"Until then." Rin responded. She picked up her bags from the ground and continued back to her campsite, hyper aware of the pair of golden eyes watching her leave.
