"Sesshomaru, I wish to ask you something." Taking his head away from my chest, his gaze locks onto mine and I couldn't help it when I leaned down and kissed him. It was slow and sweet, just enjoying the sensations of each other's lips, my hand came up to grasp his face.

Once the need for air couldn't be ignored, I reluctantly pulled away slowly. I took a moment for my thoughts to collect themselves as we rested our foreheads against each other, watching as his eyes opened to meet mine... subconsciously stroking his cheek. I finally said my question,

"Sesshomaru, my mate, my other half...I ask to officially court you, to shower you with gifts and my love, so that I may show the world you are mine and no one can take you away from me just as I can't be taken from you. To be together forever with you."

Present*

Sesshomaru's Pov

The warmth of Raiju's large hand on my cheek was just as pleasant as the feeling in my chest as I gazed into his eyes as he said those words. Against myself, I felt tears gathering as the overwhelming love I felt from hearing the words I always yearned to hear but gave up searching for a long time ago. A surge of clarity overtook deep within myself as my inner beast for the first time submitted.

Looking into those promising golden eyes, knowing I'm going to love this man till the end of our lives and beyond. Closing my eyes, I lay our foreheads together as I equally cradle his face in my hands.

Third Pov*

Raiju closes his eyes, enjoying his loved ones hands on his face, pressing closer so their noses touch together. Lips mere centimeters apart graze with each movement of Sesshomaru's as he spoke,

"Raiju, I had long ago given up on finding the one that was supposed to be only for me. I thought I was going to have to fully give up and mate with someone my mother has chosen for me for the sake of the clan. However, I met you before it became a possibility, something I will thank Kami for. Even though we met just a day ago my instincts are guiding me to what I need."

"Raiju, my mate, my other half...I delightfully accept your courtship. I shall never leave your side willingly, to give you my entire being and ask you to do the same in return. For you to never leave me or our future pups, to show anyone you are the only one I will submit to. To be together for eternality"

Raiju grins as he listens, loving the brushes of his love's lips against his with every spoken word. Whispering back in the same soft tone as Sesshomaru, "I wouldn't have accepted anything else; you are mine, Sesshomaru. I'm not letting you go."

Claiming the lips in a teasing nip, Raiju nibbed on Sesshomaru's bottom lip, staring intensely at his lover's face for any discomfort. Finding nothing of the sort, Raiju moves to grab Sesshomaru's hands from his face, moving them down to place them on his shoulders.

Allowing himself one more nibble before breaking off those addicting lips, Raiju whispered in a teasing tone, "You better hold on tight." Before Sesshomaru could process, his world tilted.

Raiju's POV

Staring down at Sesshomaru as he blinked, a look of bewilderment as he tried to comprehend what happened. Small pants escape his swollen lips as he stares up at me, realizing his back is to the ground.

Leaning down I brace one arm to the side of his head, my hair making a curtain around us as I continue to stare down at my mate. I drag my free palm up his thick clothed thigh, feeling the high quality of the kimono I watched him dressed in just an hour ago, only stopping at the obi around his tight waist.

Both of his hands come up to cup my face, dragging me down to devour his lips. He opens his mouth, letting his tongue come out to stroke mine, I groan as our tongues battle for dominance. His hands moved back to tangle in my ebony hair and tug hard at the strands.

A growl-like moan erupted deep in my throat, my grip tightened on his hip as my claws digged into the obi causing rips as I tugged him in by his hip, letting him feel my hardened cock against his as best as we could between the layers of fabric.

Sesshomaru moans as he breaks from our kiss, his dazed eyes, reddened cheeks with red swollen lips almost causing me to lose control.

"Fuck" I mutter closing my eyes, bracing myself as I try to control my inner dragon.

Reopening my eyes, I roam down Sesshomau's body letting out another groan as I take in his appearance. His kimono had started to come undone at some point, his now bare chest was flustered red, moving rapidly as he tried to get his breath back, his pink nipples were just tempting me to touch them. I began making my way down his chest, realizing his obi was barely hanging on as my claws did a number on it.

Couldn't hide the smirk as I roam my hand back down his thigh, "Can I?" I ask, pulling the bottom of his kimono off his leg. He just nods, still in a daze, drunk off the adrenaline high as he rests his arms above his head once I move out of his range.

I sit back on my heels, gripping his bare thigh with one hand enjoying the soft sensitive skin, as I move my other hand to drag my fingers over his smooth pecs, stopping to give those tempting nipples of his extra attention.

Earning me a gasp as he throws his head back, giving me perfect access to his long unmarked neck. Taking the opportunity, I lunge forward, kissing, licking, and nipping at the sensitive areas.

Moaning out, Sesshomaru tried to grab ahold of anything above him but ended up just clawing the floor as I began to make my way down his chest, making sure to give extra attention to his nipples again.

Looking up as I made my way down, grabbing his other thigh, I grin as Sesshoamru whines as I spread his legs to settle them on my shoulders.

"Raiju" He whines.

"Yes, My love?" I tease as I graze my teeth against his inner thigh. He narrowed his eyes at me as I continued to scrape my teeth against his legs, leaving delicate kisses around his inner thighs, causing them to quiver and cause his hardened neglected cock to jump as it continued to be hidden under his kimono.

Instead of answering me, he reached down and with a simple swipe of a claw, what was left of his obi was shredded allowing the kimono to pool at his side, exposing his naked body fully to me.

"Sesshomaru" I groaned as his beautiful cock that was trapped was now freed, couldn't help myself as I rubbed him with my palm. He thrust into my touch, whimpering when I pulled my hand away.

"Oh, Sesshomaru." Worshiping his name every time I speak it, I give into what this exquisite mate of mine wanted of me. Leaning forward I kiss his tip before flicking my tongue out to gather the wetness gathered on his slit.

Sesshomaru hisses out, "Yes!" Jerking his hips towards my face, I blew a small puff of air towards his tip causing a body shudder, feeling his thighs quiver on my shoulders. Feeling he deserved some relief, I wrap my fist around his base and run my tongue along his length, earning another thigh shake and a moan as I take him into my mouth, sucking gently on the head.

Taking more of him in my mouth, I swallow around him as I take him fully, having him hit the back of my throat.

"Ahhh! Raiju!" Sesshomaru moans loudly, I pull off after working him to the edge but before he could finish. Pulling back, I bent my head to kiss his neck as I folded him in half, allowing him to feel how hard I was.

Nibbling on his neck, I work his legs off my shoulders to rest on either side of my hips as I grab his hips, lifting them onto my lap as he arches up with a hard bite on a sensitive spot on his neck along with feeling our hardened cocks against each other.

Sesshomaru wrapped his arms around my neck, when I moved back to those tempting lips. After knowing he had his grip on my shoulders, I moved back to rest on my heels. I grabbed the back of his head in a tight but gentle grip, with my other hand on his hip underneath his kimono that seemed to rest off his shoulders and pooled around us on the floor. Pushing him against me tighter, as he thrust down on my clothed cock, trying to get as much friction as possible he grabs at my obi ready to rip it like he did with his.

As we continued to lose ourselves in each other and were absorbed in one another chasing our ends, Sesshomaru was about to rip my obi open to get what he wanted. There was a commotion at the door, and before either of us could comprehend it, the door suddenly opened.

*End*

Sesshomaru's POV

I was in such a haze from the adrenaline rush from what had escalated with Raiju that when the door was suddenly open it took me a moment, we didn't have that I wasn't properly dressed let alone in a state I wanted anyone to see me in.

One moment I had Raiju's lips, hands all over me then next thing I could progress was a deep aggressive ear-piercing growl that I felt come from Raiju as he hid my face against his chest and covered me with four large shimmering golden wings around the both of us, hiding me from whoever was in view.

Gripping the front of Raiju's kimono as I curl as tight as I could, as he in response wraps his arms and wings tighter around my vulnerable state as the humiliation begins to set in as I start to shake.

Raiju's aggressively enraged voice pierced the chatter that I barely heard in the room, but was silenced once Raiju spoke.

"What's the meaning of this…I didn't give anyone permission to enter my office without my consent." He spoke with such calm ferocity, as his inner dragon overlapped with his voice that pierced the noise from the room.
