Rise to the Occasion

 

Sesshomaru rose just far enough to prop his cheek in his hand, his elbow resting in the thick carpet of grass. A small smile graced his face as he watched the easy, rhythmic breathing of the companion that lay alongside him. Gone was the little girl he'd revived from the dead and rescued from the depths of hell. In her place was a beautiful and vibrant young woman.

 

The Daiyoukai furrowed his brow, deep in thought. The turn of events of the afternoon had been rather unexpected. It had started out as a simple picnic lunch, but had ended as an afternoon of writhing, sweaty bodies molded together in a dance almost as old as the world itself. Rin had willingly offered herself to him, and he had pounced without a second thought. He trailed his deadly claws across her breast and allowed his hand to fall at rest on her abdomen. She looked beautiful, lying bare on the grass before him.

 

What did this make her? His wife? His concubine? His mate? He'd never really put much thought into it other than he swore that he would not make the same mistake his father had. And yet here he was with a human who would surely become pregnant - if not from this encounter, then from a future one. Sesshomaru realized that he could not keep himself away from her, even if he wanted to.

 

Rin slowly opened her eyes and blushed at the site of the nude male before her. “Are you my husband now?”

 

“Is that what you wish?”

 

“Very much,” Rin whispered.

 

“Then you, Rin, shall be my wife.”

 

Perhaps it was best not to think too much. Everything considered, he thought he rose to the occasion rather admirably as he moved over her to begin again.
