Chapter 14

 

Your Place or Mine?

 

 

(Thank you to Koga's Hentai Luver for the first round of beta'ing. Let's hope that I don't screw it up too much with this edit. ^_^ Thanks for reading! Snow)

 

 

 

 

The now green line of trees bordering the field stretched out before them.

 

“Run?” asked Kouga, smiling up at Sesshoumaru.

 

Ah, to run again, to draw on the power of life thrumming through the forest. The memory of his previous run with Kouga nearly overwhelmed Sesshoumaru; the sounds, the scents, being one with the land. It had been invigorating. There was no question in his mind.

 

“Yes, my wolf,” smiled Sesshoumaru with anticipation.

 

Golden eyes faded to red, the white fluff became a mane running through the hair of the giant white dog. He stood facing the black wolf with ice blue eyes, almost white.

 

“How is it you run as though you have all for legs?” asked Kouga, hoping he wasn't intruding on something too painful for his lover.

 

“You should understand that as well as I do. The power of all that life pulls me, flows around and through me, just as when I fly. I do not so much run as glide along that stream of power.” Sesshoumaru quieted staring at the forest with longing. Before his first run with Kouga, he hadn't realized that it was still possible.

 

“Let us run, my wolf,” Sesshoumaru said without waiting for a response before bounding away

 

Kouga followed paying more attention to his own interaction with the life around him. Of course, he couldn't fly like Sesshoumaru, but he had to wonder.

 

`Is it more intense for Sesshoumaru?'

 

Power flowed around them. That magic that sharpened all the senses as they wove between trees, leaping over those that had fallen, following an unseen thread. It was as though every branch parted for them, giving them safe passage, urging them forward. Such an exhilarating experience! And the best part of it all? Having someone to share it with.

 

Sesshoumaru slowed, transforming to his more human form while Kouga followed suit, coming to stand beside him. Kouga couldn't help himself. Sesshoumaru had an irresistible draw. His arm slid around Sesshoumaru's waist pressing the long line of their bodies together.

 

Sesshoumaru looked down gazing into those cerulean eyes that had first attracted him to the wolf. A familiar heat began to seep through his veins as Kouga's power prickled along his skin. Sesshoumaru shuddered, bringing Kouga around to face him.

 

“A bit eager, are we?” smiled Sesshoumaru as he ran a claw along Kouga's jaw line.

 

“Well, you have been gone three weeks. What was so fucking important that you stayed away so long?” asked Kouga, gazing at Sesshoumaru with an almost desperate need.

 

Yes, it had been three weeks. Even Sesshoumaru had felt the loss of Kouga's presence. That, coupled with desire radiating from Kouga's body, prompted Sesshoumaru to give in, just a little.

 

“It has been a long wait, but it is worth it,” he smiled then leaned down to brush his lips over Kouga's, a mere touch, barely there.

 

Kouga had waited too long to feel little more than a breath pass over his lips. Sesshoumaru's soft, succulent lips begged to be touched, to be kissed, and he was not about to let the opportunity pass him by. Cupping Sesshoumaru's face in both hands, Kouga held Sesshoumaru immobile while tenderly sharing the warmth of his own lips. Starting with a slow tease, he wet that soft flesh, slowly gliding along the curves, making it slippery and allowing him to glide his own lips along Sesshoumaru's. Just the barest of touches, not even a complete press of lips. Warmth was traded between the two as Kouga began tugging at Sesshoumaru's bottom lip.

 

Heat pooled in his groin while Sesshoumaru took over sliding his own tongue into Kouga's waiting mouth exploring every inch, weaving a delicate dance. A low moan escaped Kouga's mouth to be swallowed by his lover. That moan set Sesshoumaru ablaze, and the dance turned into a struggle as he tried to drink every drop of heated essence inside Kouga's mouth. Sesshoumaru gave Kouga one gripping hug and closed his eyes then pulled away taking a deep shuddering breath. When his eyes finally opened, he met Kouga's lusty gaze. It would not be difficult to take Kouga right then and there, and equally difficult for Kouga to resist.

 

“Not yet, my wolf. I have something to show you.”

 

“Sesshoumaru, you're such a tease,” Kouga groaned in complaint.

 

“And just who was the instigator, my wolf?” Sesshoumaru simply smirked and grabbed him by the hand, tugging him forward.

 

The home was beautiful. A bit spacious for two people, but there had to be rooms for the servants, right? It appeared that the structure had been standing for some time and had merely been renovated. Sesshoumaru's crew had done a wonderful job. The small palace was built in sections, an enclosed hot spring in the center providing moist heated air. A prolific spread of Sakura, lilac, and wisteria trees half hid connected buildings.

 

Sesshoumaru led Kouga around a winding path littered with flower petals. Who would have thought the perfect assassin would go to so much trouble to please his lover? Or incorporate such natural beauty into his designs? Yes, Sesshoumaru had definitely been busy the past three weeks.

 

“So this is what you've been up to,” smiled Kouga. “Seems you've been thinking about me.”

 

“Always, my wolf,” stated Sesshoumaru, gazing down at him. “You haven't seen everything.”

 

Sesshoumaru led the way through the palace. There were few decorations, all simple. Wide screens separated the rooms. One room held a large round tub for bathing, another, a fireplace large enough to roast a full size boar. In front of the fireplace lay the gift of the bear hide that Kouga had sent to Sesshoumaru. Kouga's jaw about dropped when he saw the hot spring. Even though it was enclosed, except for a ceiling, trees dotted the landscaping.

 

“Is this more acceptable than traveling the full distance between us?”

 

“You've got to be kidding. It's great. The best part is the privacy. I like that, our own place.”

 

Kouga gazed up into the eyes of a very pleased Sesshoumaru, not that Sesshoumaru ever doubted Kouga's reaction.

 

“Two whole days,” Kouga grinned, like a child in a candy store. “Just where and when would you like to begin breaking this place in? I don't want our new home to be a virgin any longer than it has to be.” He gave Sesshoumaru a coy smile.

 

“Always so eager,” Sesshoumaru chuckled.

 

“Me? Eager? Who chased who, hum?” Kouga lifted a questioning eyebrow.

 

“Put in my place, and quite handily too,” smirked Sesshoumaru. “To answer your questions, my wolf, how about now and you choose the place.”

 

Kouga had to think. There were so many possibilities.

 

“Well, I need a bath and something to eat,” he said, and as if on cue, his stomach rumbled.

 

“Dinner and a bath, and then, my wolf?”

 

“And then, the oath,” said Kouga in all seriousness, staring at Sesshoumaru.

 

“You are ready?”

 

“My pack accepts you. I want you.” He stood up straight and tall as he said the last.

 

Sesshoumaru simply smiled leading Kouga to the bathing room. The expansive room was enclosed. Candlelight danced along the highly polished dark wood. In the center, a fire burned in a raised pit, heating large stones. The tubs were kept filled with warm water per Sesshoumaru's instructions so there would be no waiting.

 

Although Sesshoumaru had no need for human food, he occasionally indulged in the flavor of various food and drink. His favorite? Wine, of course. The effects on him were minimal, but pleasant nonetheless. There was no shortage of delicacies to choose from, apricots, rice, mushrooms and more. And, all had been previously prepared and left within reaching distance of the tub. Sesshoumaru seemed to have thought of everything.

 

“Well, fuck me,” gasped Kouga.

 

“My intentions exactly, my dear wolf,” murmured Sesshoumaru, gazing intently at his soon to be mate.

 

To Sesshoumaru's surprise, Kouga immediately stripped. It happened so fast, it was almost a blur and he was suddenly in the tub.

 

“What are you waiting for, Sesshoumaru? The water is warm and feels so good.”

 

Sesshoumaru smirked as he strode to the fire pit located in the far right corner of the room. Dipping water from a barrel and he poured it over the hot rocks. Steam poured through the room.

 

It took Sesshoumaru longer to undress as he had to do it with only one arm, but Kouga knew that offering his help would be an insult to the `Lord of the Western Lands'. So he occupied himself slipping off the tie that bound his ponytail, removing his headband then sliding beneath the surface of the water. When he came back up, Sesshoumaru was sitting, comfortably propped against the opposite side of the round wooden tub. It was luxurious, being waist deep and large enough to fit six people. There was even a ledge built halfway down beneath the top edge of the water. Of course, Sesshoumaru had to be all of six foot five inches tall. He would need something rather large, but Kouga was sure that this was specifically designed with their trysts in mind. The water itself was soft and smelled of Jasmine and Lavender.

 

`Sesshoumaru must be accustomed to luxury,' thought Kouga as he relaxed against the tub.

 

Sitting up, Sesshoumaru reached out to one of the trays and poured himself a glass of deep, sweet, burgundy wine.

 

“Help yourself, my wolf,” said Sesshoumaru, not taking his eyes off of Kouga as he took his first sip.

 

Kouga searched all the treats before him and decided on a mandarin orange. Spearing it with a claw, he began nibbling, licking his lips for Sesshoumaru's benefit. Sesshoumaru gave his wolf a sly grin as he took another sip of wine, never taking his eyes from the suggestive motions of the wolf prince, watching intently as Kouga slipped each finger into his mouth licking and sucking away every bit of sticky juice.

 

“Did you enjoy your mandarin?” asked Sesshoumaru, a small smile gracing his regal features.

 

It became him. Kouga wished he could see that smile more often. Perhaps he would eventually be able to draw that out of Sesshoumaru more easily.

 

Kouga watched rivulets of water skate their way down Sesshoumaru's pale, muscular chest, wanting nothing more than to lick away every drop that fell. Heat oozed to the surface of his skin at the image of tasting every inch of Sesshoumaru's body.

 

Sesshoumaru didn't miss the flush climbing up Kouga's body. He reached over finding a juicy slice of peach and popped it into his mouth, chewing slowly then washing it down with wine.

 

“A glass of wine?” he asked Kouga.

 

Kouga could only nod and watch as Sesshoumaru poured him a glass. The pinnacle of perfection that stood before him waded through the water with the glass. When the glass was handed to him, he made certain to brush his fingers along Sesshoumaru's and could have sworn that he saw a small shudder work it's way down Sesshoumaru's body. Looking through the glass, he could see in the background the pale slender waist decorated by a silver line of short fine hair leading into the water.

 

“I want to see,” said Kouga barely above a whisper without even looking up at Sesshoumaru's face.

 

“See what, my wolf?” replied Sesshoumaru.

 

“You, all of you,” Kouga murmured, finally shifting his gaze up into those incredibly golden eyes.

I'm really glad that you didn't mind Ayame being in there. I felt that she had to be a part of the fic and I didn't want to play god and give the guys an easy way out, like knocking her off. LOL Thanks for the review.

 

Gen-50

True, Sess has to overcome his jealousy for Kouga's sake. If he loves Kouga, he can't destroy Kouga's life by not abiding by the current political rules. I think I pointed out that taking a female solely for the purposes of bearing young was not unusual. He's made up his mind and will do what it takes. He's also confident in Kouga's love for him, so Ayame is no threat. He must be able to trust his mate. There is a bit of a spat over that later. The issue isn't dead. But first, we have some lemony kinkiness. LOL Oh, Kagome and Inuyasha make another appearance…I think. Don't really remember. LOL

 

JOkEr

Thanks for the review. And yeah, Ayame doesn't give up easily. I know that this chapter was dull, but we'll have a lemon next chapter!
