Kagome grunted after tightening the last strap, it wasn't easy tying yourself up, let alone trying to do it half naked on the biggest bed you've ever seen, let alone had the pleasure of laying on. As soon as she let go of the strap she felt nothing but panic, she was sure at that moment that she made a huge mistake. Why did she think that was a good idea again?

Not only was this her first time sleeping with him, her new husband, it was her first time sleeping with anyone, ever. But she let her friends convince her that this is something Sesshomaru would love. Though now that she was stuck here and had nothing else to do but think, she had a feeling they were wrong. He was an Inu demon, Inus loved the chase, there was literally no chase here because she could barely move her leg an inch, let alone move it enough to run.

Ugh, why did she let Yuka convince her this was the best way to entice her new husband? It was an arranged marriage, they didn't know each other at all, and they hadn't had time to figure out each other's likes and dislikes, let alone their kinks. Well, he didn't know her at all, she on the other hand had spent the last month both cyberstalking him and literally stalking him. Not in a creepy way, of course, but there was no way in hell she was going to marry someone she didn't know at all, especially someone who already had a daughter. Granted, that daughter wasn't his by blood, he adopted her when he found her dirty and living on the street begging for food.

Learning that was the first step of many that sent her on the road of falling in love with a guy she'd only had one five-minute conversation with. Well, at that point anyway. To be fair, now, she'd probably had talked to him for a total of a half hour, and most of that was earlier today during their wedding. Sesshomaru worked hard to show the world a much meaner, darker image of himself than he really was. He didn't let anyone other than the people he was helping see his charitable nature, and sometimes he even managed to hide it from them too. He never ever showed the world how much he cared for the people he was close to, his family, his friends, that was unless someone tried to hurt one of them. Then all bets were off, and Kagome felt sorry for anyone who crossed the Taisho clan. Though she'd admit Sesshomaru's actions were justified in those circumstances, it didn't mean she didn't cringe remembering what she saw him do with his spoon and an olive to the jerk who was trying to touch Rin inappropriately.

Sesshomaru tried to show the world he didn't care about anyone or anything, that the only reason he bothered to hurt people who hurt his family was for revenge, to protect the family name. For most people it worked, most people took what they saw at face value and thought he was nothing more than a soulless thug who didn't care about anyone, up until this last month when Kagome followed him around, she believed that too. Not now though, now she saw the truth for herself and knew who he really was, the man she fell in love with.

The only problem was, he didn't love her back. In fact, he'd been fighting this arrangement since it was set up, which was long before she was born. Don't get her wrong, she was against it too, since she was a child and was first told of the arrangement but that was before she got to know him. Now she couldn't be happier, well, that wasn't true, the only way she could be happier was if he loved her back. That was why she decided she was going to do what she had to, to make him fall in love with her. She knew it sounded dirty, like she was doing something wrong but that wasn't it at all. She was just going to show him who she was as a person and she had a feeling that was all he'd need. She knew she sounded conceded but during the month she was following him she learned a lot about him, who he was, what he liked, what he disliked, and from what she learned, she had a feeling they were going to get along fine.

They enjoyed the same books and literature, they had the same morals (kinda) and their goals coincided perfectly with each other. They enjoyed the same hobbies, had similar senses of humor, hell, they even had the same favorite movie. With all those similarities she wondered to herself why she was so worried that she stopped thinking for herself and let her friend help her decide what to do tonight.

She pulled on the straps that were holding her arms in place once to test and see how strong they were, though she was a miko, she only had the strength of a human so there was no way she'd be able to get herself out of them. She supposed that meant she was stuck and had no choice but to stick it out with the original plan and hope for the best. Where was he anyway? He told her he was saying farewell to the last of their guests before he'd joined her in their new bedroom.

Maybe he was staying downstairs for a nightcap, it was clear he wasn't excited for tonight or our marriage at all. Kagome thought with another sigh, this one mournful, and tried to make herself comfortable because she had no idea how long she'd be stuck there waiting.

Sesshomaru nodded farewell to the last of his business associates as he left. That one did not know how to take a hint, he wasn't fond of his employees or those he did business with on the best of days, let alone on his wedding night when they couldn't take the hint that he was close to scalping them so he could finally make his way to his bride. Though he was very against this marriage when it was first brought to him, he had a long time to wrap his mind around it, it became infinitely easier to accept his fate after his intended was born and had grown into the woman she was. Human lives are much shorter than yokai's, in fact, the arrangement was finalized with his wife's great-great-great grandfather when Sesshomaru was just a pup himself.

Though he hadn't had any actual contact with Kagome during her life he watched over her, made sure she was safe, and had what she needed. He felt duty-bound to do so, but it wasn't until she was older that he started paying attention to the type of person she was, her likes and dislikes, her morals, honor, and sense of duty. Over the years he found himself having trouble staying away from her, he had the urge to be close, he didn't want to wait until her 23rd birthday, when they were to wed before he had a chance to spend time with her. Though he forced himself to stay away, she needed time to be her own person, to grow into who she was going to become without his influence, though it was no easy feat he knew it was the right thing to do.

So he stayed away, to an extent anyway, he still watched from a distance though it grew harder by the day to keep that distance. As the time till their marriage grew shorter, he started to notice her interest in getting to know him as well. Though he pretended he didn't know, he knew every time she got close to him, watched him from a distance, and asked his family about him, he wasn't naive enough to think she didn't search for him on the internet either. He heard from Inuyasha how upset she was when she found out he did not partake in social media, well, other than his company's pages.

But the day was finally here, and he was mesmerized by her in her wedding kimono, she was always beautiful but today she was breathtaking. It took all his control not to whisk her away from their party to have his way with her in the coat closet, finally. Her scent had been driving him insane, making his beast ram against its mental cages fighting to get out and mark her as his. That was why he kept his distance from her for most of the day and only spoke to her when it was necessary. Before he knew her, he never planned to mark her as his mate, he planned to do his duty, marry her, and stay loyal to her through her short human life before moving on. Now though, that wasn't an option, he'd long since decided that he wouldn't lose her to her pesky human lifespan. With that thought he shut the front door his associates just walked out of and turned around with a smile one could only term devilish, it was finally time to make Kagome his.

He walked up the stairs on his way to his, now their room, thankful that Rin was spending the next two weeks with Inuyasha and his wife Kikyo, as tomorrow morning they were to leave on their honeymoon. Though he found the need for such a thing ludicrous in the past, he found himself looking forward to the time alone with his new bride, he knew she was inexperienced and he planned on teaching her all he knew about the pleasures of the flesh. Although he wouldn't admit this to anyone, he was a little worried about his performance, out of respect for his soon-to-be bride, once she was born he ended any arrangements he had with previous partners and stayed abstinent, so it had been a long time since he'd been with anyone.

He made it to the door to their room and took a moment to himself before opening it. To say he was surprised, and truthfully, a little confused, at the sight would be an understatement. There she was, Kagome, his new wife, dressed in the sexiest white lingerie he'd ever seen, tied up to the four posts on their bed with what looked like straps one would buy at a sex shop, head fallen to the side off of the pillow, her eyes closed, mouth open, and lightly snoring. He hadn't taken that long, had he? He knew Riku and Haruto long since overstayed their welcome but he didn't think she'd gone upstairs more than a half hour ago. He'd have kicked them out hours ago if it weren't for the fact that he was about to buy their company and the papers weren't being signed until after he returned to work.

Still, though, the sight of her tied up like that, dressed as provocatively yet innocent as she was made his eyes flash red as his beast fought to get free and his cock grow immediately hard. If he was a better man he'd untie her, let her sleep for the night, and consummate their marriage in Hawaii but no one had ever called him a good man before. So like the predator he was he stalked over to the bed, more quiet than a mouse while he took in his prey. Each inhale she made, the scrunch of her nose when she tried to move in her sleep but couldn't because of the restraints, the hair on her arms standing up because even if she was not conscious, some instinctive part of her knew she was being watched, stalked.

He promised himself he'd take it slow with her, she wasn't yokai, she couldn't take as much as his kind could but it was hard to keep that promise to himself after seeing her like this. When he made it to the bed, instead of pouncing on her like every fiber of his being wanted to, he took another deep breath to calm himself. Once he was more in control he decided to trail one of his claws from her ankle lightly up her leg, making sure not to damage the outfit, he was sure he'd want to see it on her again. She let out a breathy sigh when he made it to her inner thigh and her breathing changed signaling she was starting to wake up when his fingers trailed over her white-silk-covered pussy. He continued his exploration upwards, over her hip bone, his eyes focused on his fingers moving over her body. So focused it took a moment for him to notice her eyes opened after he trailed over her breasts, taking a moment to circle around her nipples which were hardened and visible under her sheer lace brassiere. It was her quickened breathing and slight sound of pleasure when his claw flicked her nipple that tipped him off.

His eyes shot to hers and she took one deep inhale surprised, his eyes were red and his pupils were teal, Kagome had seen demons in their true forms before, but not often. The times were peaceful currently so there weren't many sightings of demons losing control and transforming, even slightly like Sesshomaru was now. She couldn't deny that the sight did something to her, she thought she'd be scared seeing him like this but she wasn't, she was excited, titillated.

When Sesshomaru realized how he looked, he turned his head away, not wanting to frighten Kagome in any way. Kagome didn't like that one bit, "Sesshomaru…"

When he turned back to her his eyes were back to their usual gold and his fangs which had started to lengthen were back to normal too. He looked calm, cool, and unaffected, which Kagome wasn't too fond of either, in fact, it made her a little self-conscious, she wanted him to want her as much as she wanted him.

"What is all this?"

"You don't like it?"

He smirked at her in a way that promised things, it made her shiver. "I didn't say that, did I, dear wife?"

Kagome felt another shiver go through her, liking the sound of him calling her that. He continued his lazy perusal of her body, this time using both hands and not just his claws. He spent special attention to her breasts, learning what she liked, and what part of her body was the most sensitive. She started breathing harder, panting as he explored. She felt wetness gathering between her legs and ached for relief but Sesshomaru hadn't touched her there so she tried to make some friction of her own by rubbing her legs together. Unfortunately, it wasn't helping considering her legs were spread wide apart, each tied to a different bedpost.

"You know, you're completely at my mercy right now. I can do whatever I wish to you." His voice was dark, husky.

"Mhmm…" Did her voice really sound that needy or was she imagining it?

"You enjoy being under my control, it seems." He noted, "Though I wonder what made you consider doing such a thing to yourself." He inhaled noticeably, "I smell the innocence on you, it is quite a bold move for someone who's never been with a male before."

She saw the red creeping back into his eyes again, and inwardly smiled, knowing she made a good choice, seeing that he was enjoying this. She might not have been too experienced but she lived in the 21st century, she knew how to play up the helpless role, and since she started this she decided to really lean into it. So with a quiet almost scared voice, she asked, "Sesshomaru-sama, what are you going to do to me?"

Sesshomaru growled for a few moments before responding. His beast was beyond pleased, this was the ultimate submission, which was what he needed from her while he made her his mate. Finally, he moved his hand lower on her body to the lining of her underwear, he slipped his finger under it and pulled it away from her body as far as it would stretch before letting it go, he was pleased with the sound of it snapping back into her skin and her quick inhale at the slight pain. Almost idly he replied, "Whatever I please."

He decided the time for speaking was over, without thinking about it he ran his claw up the center of her chest, cutting her brassiere right down the middle. It wasn't until after the damage was done that he remembered his want to save the outfit for later use. Oh well, I'll just have to buy another set of them, or ten.

The bra cups fell to the side of her body, finally showing her breasts to his hungry eyes. He leaned down slowly keeping eye contact with her as he stuck his tongue out and used it to circle her nipple a few times before taking her breast into his mouth. She threw her head back and groaned at the new sensation, feeling his hand cup her right breast before using his thumb and index finger to pinch and twist her nipple. She was surprised at the sound of pleasure that left her mouth, she never thought she'd be one to enjoy pain with her pleasure but she realized she was very wrong. Instinctually she thrust her hips and chest forward, well, as much as she was able still being tied up.

The hand fondling her breast that was not currently in his mouth moved downward to her hips, he gripped her hard while he adjusted his stance so that he was now kneeling between her legs while kneeling over her body, the whole time not letting his mouth leave her chest, but making sure to switch breasts every once in a while showing each the proper attention.

At this point, she'd have begged to be untied if she thought it'd have done any good. She wanted to be able to touch him too, to explore him, to take some of his clothes off so she wasn't the only one so exposed. Though she couldn't deny that there was a part of her that had never been so turned on in her life, she liked giving control over to her husband, she trusted that he wouldn't take advantage of it.

She was making constant sounds of pleasure at this point, especially after he moved his knead right in between her thighs and let her use it with the little movement she had to bring herself pleasure. His mouth left her breasts and moved up her chest to her neck, he paid special attention to the spot he was going to use to mark her as his. He pulled away and watched as the mark turned red and then bruised with pleasure before bringing his mouth back down onto her and trailing it up to her chin, then to her ear, taking the lobe into his mouth and sucking on it. Deciding that he'd have to remember that spot because her moans grew louder.

Finally, he let go of her ear and moved so his mouth was hovering above hers. He watched her for a moment, her eyes glassy and darkened with passion. He hadn't kissed anyone in a very long time, maybe ever, certainly not one of his rutting partners in his past, he never felt the urge, the act felt too intimate. Kagome was different though, her lips were calling out to him, and he was not one to ignore his wants when there was no reason to do so. So he leaned down.

Kagome closed her eyes as she felt his lips touch hers. It was strange, tentative was not a word she'd ever connect to Sesshomaru but that was the only word she could use to describe how it felt when his lips first connected with hers. After a moment she pushed her lips harder against his and that seemed to be all he needed because she felt the vibration of the growl that left him against her lips before he used his hands to grab her head and the kiss became more passionate. His tongue invaded her mouth with fervor, dominating her and she loved every moment of it. She wiggled her lower half against his knee and moaned into his mouth when she was finally able to hit the right spot. She felt his fangs against her lips and enjoyed it when one of them pushed into the skin hard enough to make a small puncture.

When Sesshomaru tasted the blood his beast went insane and was able to take control for a moment, wrapping his lips around the cut and sucking on it, getting as much of the blood as possible but being sure not to damage her anymore. He was able to take back control when the cut was mostly healed and had stopped bleeding. When he was back to himself he realized he was somehow grabbing her hips hard enough to leave bruises and his claws were pushing into her skin leaving little pinpricks on each side of her hips. He pulled away and looked her over to see what other damage he'd done. She was panting, her eyes still glassy, and her scent of arousal was still filling the room, overloading his senses. She didn't smell of fear or pain and she looked confused, even worried that he stopped.

He took a deep breath, not remembering a time he had such trouble with his control since he was a pup going through puberty. He didn't like the look of self-consciousness on his wife's face so he smirked at her before leaning down again, this time lower, he licked over the marks his claws made in her skin, knowing his saliva would aid in her quick healing along with causing a pleasurable warm tingling sensation. He moved lower, licking, kissing, and nibbling along the way until he finally made it to her underwear, now soaked through with her arousal. He couldn't help but lick her over the white silk, finally getting a small taste of the scent that had been driving him wild all day. He wasn't sure if her moan or his groan at the contact was louder, though he supposed it didn't matter.

Again he used his claws to rip through the clothing keeping him from what was his, Kagome moaned at the look on his face and the cold air that hit her vagina when the underwear was wripped off. She was lifting her head up so that she could see what he was doing while also cursing herself for tying herself up, not being able to move and be more involved. He used his pointer finger from each hand to spread her lower lips apart, letting out a primal growl when he saw how wet she was. He licked languidly from the bottom of her slit to her click enjoying her sounds of pleasure and the taste of her arousal. Circling her clit with his tongue before taking it into his mouth and sucking, her breathy moans turned into gasps and screams of his name, Sesshomaru not even minding that his ears would be ringing the next day. The knowledge that he had complete control over her, that he could do whatever he wanted made him so hard he couldn't think straight.

She felt her orgasm growing, her center tightening, his tongue moving from her clit lower, it entering her, she threw her head back and moaned his name. She almost cried when he pulled away before she was able to fall over the edge, but he was only away from her long enough to bite the claws off his fingers, and then he was back to eating her out, hard, fast. From the sounds he was making, she had a feeling he was enjoying this as much as she was, maybe more. She didn't have the brain power to concentrate on that thought long though, especially when she felt his finger at her entrance, slowly making its way into her,

Sesshomaru groaned when he felt how tight she was around his finger, he had no choice but to move slowly when entering her because she was so tight. Once he had one finger in he pulled back enough to use two. Moving his tongue over her clit as fast as his demon speed would let him, finally being able to enter her with two fingers when his tongue pleasuring her caused another gush of arousal. He opened and shut his fingers as if they were scissors, trying to stretch her and make room for when it was finally time to make her his. His cock which was already incredibly hard, had been since he walked into their room and saw her tied up and at his mercy, twitched at the thought.

He had no other option but to move his hand down and adjust himself, it wasn't quite time for his own pleasure yet. He felt her maidenhead at the tip of his fingers, he waited until she tightened around him and she screamed, finally falling over the edge, to break it. He quickly pulled his fingers out and replaced them with his tongue, getting up every drop of blood he was able. When there was no trace left of her life's blood he finally pulled away from her and watched as her breathing evened out and her eyes opened back up, looking sated. He smirked, they were only just getting started, if she was sated already she had no clue what she was in store for.

"Wow, that was…" She trailed off, unsure how to articulate. She finally looked from the ceiling to Sesshomaru unsure if she was ready for what that smirk was promising. She moved her arm, trying to reach for him but was reminded of her predicament when she was barely able to move an inch before her restraints stopped her. She groaned, this time not in pleasure but in annoyance.

His dark chuckle drew her attention back to him, he was in the process of taking his clothes off layer by layer, slowly, watching her the whole time. Her breathing started to quicken when his chest was visible to her eyes, and she became aroused again, it becoming wet between her legs, her nipples hardening then he started to pull down his pants and she saw a happy trail of silver hair starting under his belly button leading down, the more of it that became visible to her eyes, the quicker her breathing became. Again she tried to reach for him and again she wasn't able to.

He tsked at her when he noticed her try again to free herself, "No, Kagome you'll stay right where you are until I give you permission to move." He continued when he saw annoyance cross her face, "You've done this to yourself, my wife. I was not the one to tie you up, and now you must deal with the consequences, you're mine to do with as I please until I untie you, and I do not plan to do that for quite a while, maybe never. I must admit, I do like the sight you make right now, perhaps I shall keep you tied up here in our room so that you are here waiting for my pleasure whenever I wish it."

"You wouldn't."

"No, I wouldn't, though I enjoy the thought all the same. Tonight though, I'm going to make sure to enjoy it, so you must understand, you're not getting out of them any time soon."

A small blush came over her cheeks, "But, I want to touch you too."

His smirk softened a little bit, almost enough to be considered a smile, "And you'll get the chance, just not until I allow it."

He enjoyed the flash of fire in his wife's eye and had a feeling he'd have fun dealing with it over the years. He never liked women who were too docile. Instead of continuing this useless argument, he decided there were much more pleasurable ways that they could be using their mouths. So he leaned down and kissed her, hard. He'd picked up that she enjoyed it that way, the increased scent of her arousal in the room confirmed that thought for him. He also learned from this encounter that she enjoyed some pain with her pleasure so he pulled away from her mouth and started moving down her body, her neck, making sure to suck hard enough to leave another hickey, he enjoyed any mark of his on her, her chest, her breasts. This time he used his fangs while he played with them, pushing just hard enough to leave little red lines behind producing red droplets of her delicious blood. He pulled back to watch as they pulled, flicking his eyes to her face to make sure she was still enjoying his attentions. Once he saw that she was he leaned down slowly, making sure to keep eye contact with her, and licked a line down making sure to get every last drop.

Kagome moaned, enjoying the sensation his saliva brought her but wanting, no needing more. Again she thrust herself forward as much as she could, trying to get him to understand how much need she had right now, the smirk he gave her made her understand that he knew very well what she needed, he was just playing with her, she groaned and again tried to bring herself some relief by rubbing her center against his knee but it just wasn't enough. She felt herself going insane with need when he repeated the actions to the other breasts, then down her stomach before leaning down and licking her center once languidly and pulling back.

He reached down and finally finally freed his cock from its confines, he couldn't help but stroke it one, two, three times while he used his thumb to rub the tip and precum around. While still kissing her he used his other hand to play with her clit, making sure she was nice and aroused before grabbing his member and positioning it at her entrance. Though before he started he moved back down to her ankles and untied them, giving her room to move at least the bottom half of her body. Kagome looked confused since he just said he wasn't going to let her free but she didn't question it.

He moved back up to her giving her the first real sight of his member and she couldn't help but open her eyes wide causing him to smirk when he saw what she was looking at. Slowly, he spread her lower lips and started rocking into her, he'd already broken her maidenhead but she was still so tight, that he knew it'd still be uncomfortable for her, especially considering he was larger than many demons and definitely larger than human men. He moved his hand quicker over her clit, groaning into her mouth at how tight she was squeezing him, moving in easier as the stimulation made her even more wet. When he finally bottomed out, felt her cervix with the tip of his cock he stopped. It took all the control he had not to pull out and start rutting her as fast as he could but he saw her eyes squeezed shut and knew she was uncomfortable.

He wasn't sure what came over him but he leaned down and kissed her once softly before reaching over and freeing first one arm and then the other. He didn't want to see her in pain. Her wrists were red from the straps and he took a moment to rub them softly trying to soothe them. He wasn't normally one to do such a thing but he didn't want her to be in pain, at least, not when it wasn't part of their pleasure.

Her eye snapped open at the softness of his actions, she didn't expect things like that from him, it was enough to relax her and help let go of the tension in her body. Once he felt her relax he slowly pulled almost all the way out of her before thrusting back in, it was only a few slow thrusts before he started picking up speed and Kagome's sounds of pleasure resumed. Kagome felt a ball of pleasurable tension tighten in her lower stomach signaling another orgasm coming and quickly.

Sesshomaru growled when he felt her tightening around her, his thrusts became harder and Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck and legs around his waist to pull him closer. He nuzzled his face into her neck before kissing, licking, and nibbling the spot he'd mark her as his mate. Kagome enjoyed the sensations and moved her head to the side to give him more room, moaning his name into his ear igniting another growl from him. Finally, she started to quiver, signaling she was falling over the edge and right as she fell his fangs elongated and he bit into her neck causing Kagome to scream, though not in pain. The taste of her blood and the quivering around his member was all he could take and he came along with her. He made sure to send enough of his yokai energy into her body so that they were mated and she'd stay with him forever.

Her eyes widened when she felt him grow inside her, she already felt so full she didn't know she could stretch anymore, though she couldn't deny that it felt good, great even and the moan that left her mouth let Sesshomaru know it too. She'd done a lot of research when she learned she was to wed an Inu demon, she learned their mannerisms, ceremonies, signs of affection, and anger, so she knew that these demons would knot after sex, she just had no idea what to expect, she was not disappointed.

Sesshomaru wrapped his arms around her back and rolled over, taking her with him so that now she was the resting one on top of him, they'd be like this for a while. He inhaled and felt his inner beast finally relax, her scent had done that to him since the first time he scented her but it was different because now he could smell himself inside her, his seed, and his yokai. She nuzzled into his chest and he felt her breathing evening out as she calmed down. He'd let her wrest for a little while but he was nowhere near done with her tonight, she'd have time to sleep on the plane tomorrow morning as they traveled to their honeymoon destination.

Kagome knew it was silly but she couldn't help but feel a little self-conscious as they lay there. For multiple reasons, but the biggest one was that she felt like they were very uneven. She already knew so much about him, she fell in love with the male she had gotten to know over the last few months but she knew he didn't feel the same. She was just a duty to him, worse, an obligation. She thought she was pretty lovable, so maybe eventually he'd grow to love her too but that still didn't make her feel great right now.

"What is wrong, miko?"

"Hmm?" She asked, lifting her head off his chest to look at him, "Nothing."

"Do not lie to me. I feel you now, I know you are upset."

He feels me? She thought to herself confused.

Feeling her confusion he answered her unasked question. "Close your eyes, feel inside you. Do you sense something there that was not before?"

She did as he said and it only took her a moment to feel something inside her, right in the center of her chest close to her heart. "What is that?"

"Me. My yokai to be exact." He rubbed her neck where he bit her earlier. "I've marked you as mine, my mate." He felt great pleasure looking at the crescent moon which had appeared in the center of his bite marks on her neck.

Kagome read about mates in her miko studies though, which wasn't done nearly as often now as they were in the past. She didn't think much of him biting her, she'd expected it, again that was something she learned in her research of dog yokai, she didn't expect him to want to mate her though. She understood the implications, and could hardly believe it, he wanted her to stay with him forever? To be connected with him, to feel each other's emotions? With that last thought she realized how he knew she was upset but she also knew that particular gift went both ways, so she closed her eyes again and focused on that little part inside her that was now him.

Wow, She thought, 'For someone who shows nothing to the world, he's full of emotions, and he feels them strongly.' His biggest emotion right now was contentment, he was content and sated. She felt more from him though, she couldn't believe it but he felt love too. Did he really love her? How? When? "Sesshomaru?"

"I've been watching you for a long time." He answered simply. She felt a small blush cover her cheeks and it caused him to smirk, "Yes, I knew when you started to follow me around, you are not very stealthy."

Her blush darkened then she huffed pretending to be annoyed, "I thought I did a pretty good job."

"Perhaps if I were human, though I'm not sure how anyone would have not noticed you during that mishap at the park."

She was sure her cheeks were firetruck red at this point. She followed Sesshomaru and Rin to the park, she had to do something to blend into the crowd so she stopped at the ice cream stand to buy some. She loved lots of sprinkles and even more hot chocolate sauce, so she made sure to order a lot. As she was enjoying her bowl and walking along the trail, she was too focused on her ice cream when kids accidentally through a ball right at her, it hit her and the ice cream causing her to spill it all over herself. It was when she'd just gotten the ice cream and barely taken one bite so the hot chocolate was still, you know, hot. Causing her to burn herself and stain her clothes, she screamed, truthfully more at the loss of her favorite sweet treat than the pain, and frantically tried to clean herself up. As she was running back to the stand for more napkins she tripped on a tree's root and fell face-first into what was left of her ice cream. It wasn't her most proud moment but she thought she got out of there quick and quiet enough that she wasn't noticed, apparently not.

She was brought out of her embarrassing memory by his husky chuckle, "From my point of view it was quite entertaining."

She huffed, this time not pretending the annoyance, "Yeah, well, at least someone had fun."

He leaned forward and kissed her. "Do not fret, miko."

She smiled at him before asking more than saying, "So, you love me?"

"As you love me."

She rested her head back on his chest and confidently replied, "Good. I mean, it was bound to happen, I'm pretty great."

He chuckled again and used his claws to lightly run up and down her back. He couldn't remember the last time he'd been so entertained and laughed so much. He was pretty sure the answer was never. Her breathing became slower, more shallow after a few minutes, his knot had long since gone down, though he was hard again and ready for more. He leaned down and kissed her forehead before moving lower to her mouth, she kissed him back lazily, still half asleep. He traveled over to her ear and took her lobe into his mouth, sucking on it once while rolling his tongue around it causing her to moan lightly. He let it go with a pop and whispered right into her ear, "Nuh-uh, my miko, I'm nowhere near done with you yet."

He flipped them over quick as lightning and proceeded to use his mouth, hands, claws, and cock to bring her and his pleasure to the best of his ability. He was correct, his new wife didn't get any time to rest until after they were seated in their private plane and even then he couldn't let her rest the full trip, waking her up with his head between her legs and hands working their magic on her breasts. It was a great start to a great honeymoon and an even better life together.
