Chapter 10: 1 - 0
I couldn't help but just stare at him. He had chosen. He had chosen me. His beast wanted me as its mate. Maybe he was just playing with me. There was no way that someone like him wanted someone like me; especially note for life.
"You do not believe me."
"Well, it is a little hard to swallow. We've rarely spoken."
"I did not need to speak to you. From the moment you walked into the room I knew."
"Why didn't you say anything?"
"You were preoccupied… with someone else."
I tucked my hair behind my ear.
"Oh, that."
He leaned in closer. "Yes, him. To me, it did not matter that you cared for someone else. I waited for you. Hoping that one day you would leave him on your own, and realize that you deserve better. As much as I dislike that he has hurt you. I am glad it has opened your eyes. Even if you need more time I will still wait. To me, you are worth the wait. He may have been your first love Kagome, but I intend to be your last; everything. You are already mine in my eyes. It is only a matter of time before I become yours."
I had never had a man speak to me that way. Never in a million years would I ever thought Sesshomaru would be saying these things. I had no idea what to say. I just knew that I wanted him even more now. I searched his eyes. Still trying to find some sort of doubt, but there was none. I leaned in closer to him. I wanted to know what his lips felt like. At the last second, he turned his head to the side, kissing me on the cheek. I pulled away confused.
He smiled. "You made your choice remember."
I groaned and rolled my eyes. He chuckled, pulling me to my feet. I followed after him quietly wondering where he was taking me. He opened the door and pulled me inside. It was his bedroom. He took my shoes off, setting them aside. He turned his back to me, taking off his clothes, leaving only his underwear. My eyes went wide. I sucked in a breath looking him over. I could feel my panties getting soaked. It was so embarrassing. Knowing that every time this happened he could smell it on me. He looked over his shoulder and smiled at me.
"Are you coming?"
"I thought you weren't going to touch me?
I was hoping he had changed his mind. I needed him to.
He turned to me. "I am not going to touch you. What we can do is sleep. If I stay awake any longer… I am not sure what I will do."
Then, by all means, stay up the rest of the night.
I bit the inside of my cheek. I came here and practically threw myself at him. How is it that someone can have that much self-control?
He smiled. "If you do not wish to sleep. I can have the driver bring you home."
Like hell, I was passing up laying in bed with him. There was no way he could keep this up if I stayed the night. Two can play this game.
I turned my back to him, moving my hair out of the way.
"Can you unzip my dress for me please?"
Sango would be so proud of me right now.
There were a few moments of silence before I felt his hands on me. His fingers brushed against my skin as the zipper went down. I let it fall around my feet. I turned around looking up at him. The red in his eyes was starting to show again. It was worse than last time.
Okay then, I'll play your game. Let's see how long that self-control lasts.
"Well," I said. "Are you coming?" I asked, walking around him.
I slipped into his bed. It was so comfortable. Even if he didn't touch me, getting to lay on this thing was reward enough. My lumpy little twin mattress was nothing compared to this. I watched him turn off the light. I could still see through. These huge windows let enough light in from the city. I felt the bed sink beside me. I turned over to look at him, but he was already looking at me.
"You do not play fair," he said.
I smiled. "You're one to talk to Sesshomaru. All is fair in war... I'm sorry."
"What do you have to apologize for?"
"I was unpacking all of my feelings on you. The entire time you've felt this way about me, and I was so oblivious."
"I do not mind. I am not threatened by him. I never have been. Not when we were children and especially not now. He has already lost."
"What do you mean?"
"You would not be here with me if you did not wish to be."
I was glad it was dark. I was blushing terribly and I did not need him to see that.
"It doesn't matter who came first, because I am here now. As I said before. I plan to be your last everything. I am a patient man. I can wait… I will wait."
My stomach fluttered. Men had tried to pursue me, but I never had given them a chance, until now. None of them had ever even spoken to me the way Sesshomaru did. They all said the same thing to me. It was generic and there was no effort at all… but Sesshomaru. It was different. It was nice to be wanted like this. To hear him speak like that and about me. His words matched his actions. To be taken seriously as a woman felt good… it felt right. I reached out and cupped his cheek.
"Thank you," I said softly.
He held my hand and kissed my wrist. He quickly pulled me to him, wrapping his other arm around my waist. His skin on my skin felt good. It's like I was in heat or something. I'd never acted like this with another man. Not even Inuyasha. Before he had a chance to back away. I grabbed his face and kissed him. His lips were warm. I pressed up against him and rubbed up against him. He gasped and I took that moment to slip my tongue into his mouth. He didn't try to push back after that. His hands found their way to my ass, squeezing it. I had never kissed anyone before, but I'd seen it in movies and Sango talked about it enough. It didn't look hard, and it wasn't. It felt good. I could feel him pressing up against my clit. He rubbed harder, and I moaned. He flipped me onto my back. He was breathing hard, and his eyes were more red than amber. It was dark, but I could see the imprint of his erection. He was trying to hold back. I couldn't understand why.
"You don't need to hold back. I want to do this. I want you Sesshomaru."
He sat up and leaned his head back and took deep breaths. He looked back down at me. His erection was gone now sadly. His eyes had gone back to normal.
"Not yet," he said.
He laid down beside me and pulled me close, cuddling me from behind.
"Good night Kagome."
I sighed. "Good night Sesshomaru."
