She kept it light, giving him the chance to pull away if he wanted, but he buried a hand in her hair, tugging on it hard enough to make her gasp, his tongue slipping inside her mouth.

Kagome's entire body clenched, and she went up on tiptoe, taking her fill. Humming, she slanted her head, his collar bunching between her fingers. She tried to push him up against the door, but his other hand slid it out of the way, and they spilled into his room.

Catching his balance before they ended up on the floor, he pulled their bodies flush, hands wandering over her curves. She arched into the touch, his name coming out as a moan.

He broke the kiss with a snarl, chest heaving as he pressed their foreheads together. "My duties have not concluded for the day."

"You're the one who came looking for me," she accused.

"I know firsthand how devious my mother can be," he replied. "And I was correct."

"Ah-Un was there to protect me. And you know I can defend myself." The way he nuzzled her temple had her eyes fluttering shut, serene contentment washing over her even with how tightly wound the coil in her stomach was. "Will you be able to get everything done by tonight? I won't be asleep by the time you finish, will I?"

He straightened with a sigh, but his gaze was determined. "I will reschedule any meetings that run late."

Kagome smiled, then kissed the underside of his jaw. "Come to my room when you're—"

"Unnecessary." She raised her eyebrows in question even as his arm tightened around her waist. "You will be sleeping in here from now on."
