Allies with Benefits

Chapter 6: Alone at last!

Kagome sighed happily as she sank into the warm water. “Ah, I could get used to this.” She giggled and sank into the water so that only her nose up was visible. They'd arrived a few minutes earlier and Sesshoumaru had covertly brought her to a lavish bedroom, telling her that he had to attend to a few things and for her to wait here for him. But she hadn't been able to resist exploring a bit. She'd peeked her head around the first two doors of the room she was in to find a garden and a small study. The third door had been by far her favorite though. It had opened up to reveal the hot spring she was currently relaxing in.

She couldn't remember the last time she'd been able to relax in a real hot spring without having to worry about being interrupted. Sure she'd been in hot springs all over Japan in her travels, but those were normally always in the company of Sango and Shippou. And of course, there was always the looming threat of peeping hanyous or rampaging demons. To be able to relax completely like this, it was bliss. Pure and simple. She had just about fallen asleep when the shoji screen slid open behind her. She tensed for a split second, until Sesshoumaru's voice rumbled through her.

“I thought I told you to wait,” he said and she heard the soft swish of silk sliding to the ground.

“Sorry,” she said, turning around to smirk at him. “I couldn't resist.”

“I can see that.” The last of his clothes dropped to the floor and her eyes crawled up his body hungrily. “No interruptions this time.”

She grinned, nodding as he waded into the spring. “Bout damn time too!” She stood and met him near the edge, her arms reaching to pull him down for a kiss. “Mmm, I thought you had stuff to do?”

“Don't remind me.” He dropped his head to her neck and she giggled.

“You didn't even go yet?” She heard a barely audible “No” which he tried to distract her from by nibbling on her ear, but she pulled back. As much as she wanted this, she didn't want to keep him from his duties—especially when she was in a house surrounded by unfamiliar youkai whom she had yet to identify as friendly. “Come on now, you can't shirk your duties. I can wait.”

“And what makes you think I am willing to wait?” He jerked his body against hers and Kagome gasped, extremely tempted to take back her words. But sense told her they should wait.

“I didn't say was willing to…but we need to wait. You have duties here, and I don't want to be in the way.”

“You're joking right?”

“I wish I were. Trust me, I want this as much as you do, but we just can't.”

He growled and for a moment, Kagome was reminded that this was a very dangerous youkai, but then his head dropped back to her shoulder and he groaned. “Why must you be so honorable all the time?”

“I'm sorry,” she chuckled, wrapping her arms around him, her fingers stroking down his back. “Comes with the calling.”

“You're absolutely sure?”

“Unfortunately, yes…”

He groaned again and Kagome smirked. As much as she hated that they weren't getting what they wanted, she also couldn't help but also revel a little in the power she held over someone so powerful. She couldn't really visualize anyone else escaping unscathed from denying him what he wanted. But he was already pulling back, grumbling endlessly as he went, but retreating all the same.

“Wait,” she said softly. “Just because we can't do that…doesn't mean I'll make you leave with nothing.”

He cocked his head in her direction, his eyebrow quirking in question as he tried to figure out the meaning of her words. But he didn't have to wait long for his answer. Keeping her eyes locked with his, Kagome slowly sank to the floor, watching his face for a reaction. This was never something she'd been able to do, mostly because they were always so pressed for time. Taking his length in her hand, she looked up at him one final time—praying she wouldn't disappoint him—and then gave his tip a tentative kiss.

He hissed, his fingers flying into her hair. Taking his as a good sign, Kagome took his length whole in her mouth, sucking in as much as she could. She tried to think what would feel best for him for a split second, the paranoid part of her brain still fearful that he would yank her away and tell her she was embarrassing herself. But regardless of what she did, faster, slower, harder, softer—his reactions were the same grunts and hisses she always heard when they were together. His hand had been steadily increasing its grip on her scalp, from a bare whisper to a firm hold, but she noted that he was still in control. His claws never touched her.

She began twisting her hand around the base, and the groan that escaped him then was enough to make her shiver in response. She was surprised to find she was gaining pleasure from this. Her friends in school had always complained about having to do this for their boyfriends, but the knowledge that she was pleasing him was sending her soaring as well.

She was sure his servants could hear everything, but surprisingly enough, she didn't care. Because it didn't matter that they could hear, because they wouldn't interrupt. And that was thrilling as well. They were finally able to enjoy each other, without interruption.

She felt his movements become steadily jerkier and knew he was almost at his limit. Bracing herself, she took him into her mouth and sucked hard. The taiyoukai above her roared his release, making more sound in that one moment than he normally made in a week. She coughed, choking on his seed as it surged down her throat. She'd been unprepared for just how quickly it emerged, but she tried to swallow all she could—although she had to admit, it wasn't the best tasting thing she'd had in her mouth.

When he was through, she licked him clean and then sat back on her heels to look at him. His eyes were closed, his breaths coming in rough and harsh as he apparently basked in his pleasure. As he came down from his high, his eyes slid open and down to her. His hand released her hair and he held it out for her to take. When she took it, he pulled her up for a kiss.

“When I return,” he said, resting his forehead against hers, still slightly out of breath. “It's your turn.”

“Is that a promise?”

He nodded against her and she had to restrain another giggle at how loopy he was. He gave her shoulder a final nip and then left her, the door barely shut before she'd wanted to rush after him, his duties be damned. But she didn't. It had been her decision to wait, and anyways he had things to do. So, she returned to the spring instead, deciding to primp herself in preparation for the night to come.

Or well, she tried to primp…

Barely twenty minutes after Sesshoumaru had left, Rin had come bursting in, exclaiming how happy she was that Kagome had come to visit. Apparently one of the guards had let it slip that she was here—and given that those guards had been given explicit instructions not to breathe a word of her presence to anyone, she sincerely hoped whoever had blabbed was now far, far away where Sesshoumaru couldn't reach him. But regardless of who had told, Rin was here now and bless her heart the poor girl wouldn't leave her alone.

It wasn't that she wasn't happy to see the pre-teen—who was apparently taking a short break from her studies to attend the youkai gathering—but there were more important matters on her mind that how her reiki was channeled into her bow. Like where the hell was Sesshoumaru?! It was getting quite late and she was getting tired of waiting damnit! She'd tried to pinpoint his youki, but with all the youkai within the palace, she was having trouble narrowing down where he was. She could, however, feel his frustration and took a small comfort in the knowledge that she was not the only one becoming impatient. Near as she could tell, it was already close to midnight. She was sure Sesshoumaru was probably doing something terribly important for the gathering, but she couldn't help regretting not letting him ravage her earlier.

She was just beginning to wonder if Rin even had a bedtime, when the door slid open and Sesshoumaru walked in.

“Rin,” he said immediately. “Why aren't you in bed?”

“Oh!” She exclaimed as she turned to face her adopted father, clearly not having expected to be caught. “I'm sorry Sesshoumaru-sama, but I heard Kagome-dono was here and I wanted to say hello.” She hurriedly left the room, waving briefly to Kagome as she went.

As the door shut behind the girl, Kagome saw a hunger descend onto Sesshoumaru's features unlike she'd ever seen before. He stalked towards her, his gaze rooting her to the spot. She leaned against the wall, grinning like mad as he stopped a hair's breadth from her, his hand coming to rest on the wall beside her. Wrapping her hands around his neck, she pulled him down for a kiss.

“I thought you'd never come.”

“Mmmm,” came his voice, muffled from where it was buried in her neck. “Jaken kept finding more things for me to do.”

Kagome chuckled, easily imagining the imp creating problems just so he wouldn't be able to come see her. “I hope you didn't hit him too hard.”

“He'll live,” he replied as his hand pushed the edges of the silk robe from her shoulders. She'd bought it weeks ago while out shopping, thinking it would be a good surprise for her lover. The robe was one of those thin kimono style wraps made from white silk and covered in chrysanthemum blossoms. The pattern was too much to resist, especially with the matching bra and panty set that Sesshoumaru was currently growling in approval at. She was glad she remembered to grab them.

“Do you like it?”

He growled again in response, which Kagome took as a `yes,' and leaned in to nip her collarbone. As he lavished her neck with attention, Kagome reached down and began untying his obi. She wanted him naked and as he reached for the clasp of her bra, she knew he was thinking the same thing. She had long given up her insecurities about disrobing him and she flung his haori and inner shirt from his shoulders, leaving them to sink to the floor, forgotten. She continued pulling on this and untying that until he was completely bare before her once more. He was already standing at attention, dripping in anticipation. She reached for him, but he stopped her.

“My turn,” he said, bending at the knees so he was eye level with her belly. She smiled, eager to feel his tongue upon her, but instead he wrapped his arm around her thighs and stood. She `eep'd' and clutched at his head as he rose and her body began to slide up the wall. He instructed her to straddle his shoulders and she rushed to comply, her grin returning as she realized what he was planning.

His lips descended upon her and Kagome mewled, her legs curling around his head. She loved it when he did this, but given their usual time restraints, this was also something else they rarely got to do. So now, she reveled in his tongue upon her flesh. Her cries rang out through the room and out into the corridor as she screamed her pleasure to the heavens. Reaching down, she threaded her fingers in his hair, caressing his scalp and the tops of his pointed ears—another of those secret pleasure spots she'd found. He growled in response, and the vibrations made her scream even louder. She could feel her release building, her leg muscles tensing spasmodically around him and her fingers yanked at his hair as she thrashed above him. She felt something nudging her ass and tried to pull away for a second. But then, as his fingers entered her, he sucked hard on her clit and she was gone, riding the waves of her ecstasy as he happily lapped her juices.

When she regained her senses, Kagome was surprised to find he'd relocated them. They were now lying on his futon and he was suckling on her breast like a parched man after water. His sunfire eyes were watching her intently and upon seeing her look at him, he crawled up to claim her lips. His fingers were still playing with her snatch, keeping her poised on the brink of release.

Pulling herself from his lips, Kagome grabbed his ass in both hands and thrust it deliberately towards her core. “Enough teasing Sesshou! Fill me already!”

He chuckled, his hand leaving her to position himself. She gasped as he entered her, at one feeling complete as he pounded into her. She could feel her release coming once again and reached down to fondle his balls. The growl that escaped him then was enough to push her over the edge, with him following close behind.

When she awoke sometime later, Kagome couldn't remember where she was for a moment. But then, the arm around her waist tightened and pulled her against a firm chest. Smiling, she let her fingers dance upon her sleeping lover's arm, delighting in the little jumps and twitches of his muscles. They had finally gotten their privacy—and had finally made it to a bed. Rolling onto her back so she could look at him, Kagome realized this was the first time she'd seen him sleep. Ever. Even when the taiyoukai had teamed up with them in the past, he'd always stayed alert during the night, if he even stuck around that long to begin with.

He looked so different like this, his features relaxed, stoic mask flung to the far reaches of his mind. Until they'd begun this little adventure, Kagome was convinced his face was stuck like that, but she'd since seen his expression contort in ways she'd never thought possible. But never had she seen his features completely relaxed. He looked human; that was the only way to describe it. As if he didn't have a care in the world, which she now knew was far from true. In fact, she had a feeling that his mask was in place to protect those he cared for—not that he would admit it.

“Guess I should get some sleep…there's no telling what's going to happen tomorrow.” Smiling slightly, she pressed a kiss to his lips before cuddling further into his arm, relishing the feeling of the complete safety and contentment that filled her as she drifted off to sleep.
