Chapter 4: Who's the Boss?

 

 

It had been a long day. Who would have thought that meetings could be so draining? Kagome thought as she kicked off her shoes as she walked through the door of their house. She awkwardly hugged a huge box to her chest as she smiled softly to herself, imagining her staff's reaction to her gift.

 

“Who the hell would leave a coffee machine at our front door?” Yash's curiosity was piqued as he took the big, clumsy box out of Kagome's arms, carrying it to the living room table and putting it down.

 

“It's a new drink dispenser for the lab. I asked Sota to pick it up for me since he was going downtown today,” Kagome cheerfully explained as she watched Yash tilt the box and examine the instructions on it. Peering over his shoulder, she pointed to the pictures illustrated on the side. “An individual hot beverage maker that allows consumers to prepare an assortment of hot beverages, including coffee, tea, hot chocolate, espresso, latte, and cappuccino,” she quoted. “I've always wanted one of these. Our other machine has had it. I think Kaz used it too much.” She laughed as she remembered the sour look on her lab partner's face as his favourite coffee machine spat out a nasty gooey concoction last week. “Sakura and Fuji don't drink coffee, so this way Kaz can have his coffee and everyone else can have something else.”

 

She looked thoughtfully for a moment. “I have to admit, it's also a kind of welcoming gift to Juro's staff members too. I'm a little nervous about them joining our department tomorrow.”

 

InuYasha looked up surprised. “Why? They're good scientists. I'm sure they'll be more than capable in helping you with your projects.”

 

“No, it's not that.” Kagome fiddled with the tape at the corner of the box. “It's just that Juro wasn't too receptive of the idea of me being in charge of his staff. That's why I hesitated so long in even asking for their assistance. But with Kaz gone so much, we really could use the extra help.” She shrugged. “I just didn't want to create any bad feelings between our departments. I swear Juro hates me.”

 

A derisive look crossed Yash's face. “Juro hates everybody.”

 

“Why?”

 

Yash snorted. “Because he's an ass. A damn smart ass, I'll give him that. But he's not there to make friends. He's there to work. I told you not to worry about him. Sess and I had a little talk with him and he's been warned to keep his mouth to himself and to stop causing rifts. He won't be causing any more problems.”

 

“But, he's just so… unapproachable.”

 

“You can't make friends with everybody.” When she lowered her eyes and bit down on her lip, he looked at her suspiciously. He could just imagine the wheels turning in her head. “Get that thought out of your head and leave Juro alone.” When she remained silent, he shook her slightly. “Kagome…”

 

“Oh, all right…”

 

“I mean it, Kagome.”

 

Yash stared pointedly at her until she finally conceded, “I said, all right, I'll leave him alone.”

 

“Damn straight you will.” He took his leather jacket off and threw it on the loveseat. “Besides, there are other things we need to think about.”

 

“Like what?”

 

He turned to face her. “Like our honeymoon.”

 

“Oh, InuYasha, I can't think about leaving now.”

 

“Why not?”

 

“Because it's not a good time to go. Kaz has been gone so much this past week. And tomorrow we have Juro's staff coming in. And...”

 

Yash sighed. “And what?”

 

“I just… I just don't want everyone to think that it's preferential treatment. Juro already thinks it's favouritism that General Matsumoto requested Kazuki for his project. What do you think he'll say when you start pulling his staff to help my department and then I go off on a holiday? They'll think its nepotism.”

 

“Nepotism, my ass,” he snorted. “Your department is understaffed; we're allocating resources to cover where needed. If anyone thinks that's favouritism, they can kiss my ass. As for Kazuki.” He shrugged. “There's a good reason Sesshomaru pulled him for that project. No one should even question that one. And if you want nepotism, then what about Sesshomaru hiring the runt to paint pictures, huh? So if he commissions Shippo again and the staff cries foul, he'll have to get some half-assed painter instead, hmmm?”

 

Kagome shook her head, a hint of a smile appearing on her lips. “That's not the same and you know it. Okay, even if it's not nepotism, I'm still not comfortable leaving now. I shouldn't be going on a holiday when we're neck deep in work.”

 

“Kami, Kagome. It's our honeymoon,” InuYasha scowled. “Your projects don't even have urgent deadlines. You'll have enough staff on-hand while you're gone. It's the opportune time to go. Don't you think it's high time we had a honeymoon?”

 

“Yes,” she admitted, “it is time we had one, but I just don't know. It still wouldn't look good…”

 

“Who the fuck cares what it looks like? Your department is covered; it's all good, so stop worrying about it. If someone doesn't like it, they can go to hell. Better yet, send them to see me.” He smiled wickedly, one corner of his mouth curved up exposing a fang.

 

Rolling her eyes, Kagome said, “InuYasha, you are not going to start beating up your staff. They'll throw you in jail for that.”

 

“Who said anything about beating them up,” he counted back evilly.

 

“InuYasha…”

 

The hanyou chuckled and pulled her close, trapping her hands between their chests. “We are going on a honeymoon. No ifs, ands, or buts about it, Kagome. We're going because I said so. After all, I am the boss.”

 

Kagome arched her brow in slight irritation. “InuYasha, you say that entirely too much. You are not the boss of me.”

 

She caught the humour dancing in his eyes before he leaned closer and stared into her eyes. Her breath hitched in anticipation as his eyes darkened from amber to molten gold. “Oh no?” His voice oozed like warm melted butter over her. Holding her tight, he kissed her slowly, deeply. When he felt her knees about to buckle, he broke away.

 

Trying to control her pounding heart, Kagome stared up at him. “InuYasha… that's…that's not fair,” she complained breathlessly. “You can't always distract me like that.”

 

“Why not?” He purred as his hands roamed over her hips to rest on her curve of her spine, pulling her against him.

 

Feeling his hardening desire, Kagome tried to let reason back into her jumbled mind. She wanted nothing more than to let her husband distract her. After all, he was just so good at it. But a small part of her reared its defiant head. InuYasha seemed to think that he could distract her with sex whenever he wanted. Well, two could play this game.

 

Decision made, a determined glint filtered through her eyes, disappearing as fast as it appeared. Pressing closer to her husband, she gripped the collar of his shirt and gave him a sly look and said, “The boss, huh?”

 

A slightly amused, cocky smirk appeared on his face. “Yup. The boss.”

 

“Well, Mr. Takahashi, since you are the boss, why don't I make you more comfortable?” she said in a low, suggestive voice as she stepped out of his embrace. She hooked her fingers in his and led him to the couch.

 

Keeping her eyes locked on his, she slowly unbuttoned his shirt, sliding it off of his body. She trailed her hands lightly down his chest, to his hip, to his tailbone, then sliding slowly up his spine. A knowing smile crossed her lips as he shivered at her touch and his breathing became slow and heavy. When his pupils dilated with desire, she had to control her own breathing as she took in the raw masculine power of the man in front of her. Her inner resolve almost faltered, but she straightened up, determined to see this through.

 

Powerful emotions surged through Yash's veins as he willed himself to stand still. His hands itched to grab her, but he clenched them at his sides. Damn, he loved this aggressive side of her. She was outrageously sexy and it turned him on like there was no tomorrow. With half closed eyes he waited to see what she would do next. He didn't have to wait long as she slowly leaned forward and flicked her tongue out against a taut nipple, eliciting a low moan from him.

 

His breathing became ragged as he watched her with predatory eyes when she undid his belt and loosened his pants. “Have a seat, Mr. Takahashi,” she cooed before she pushed him back against the soft white leather. His eyes burning into hers, she gave him a slow seductive smile before she reached down to slowly slip off her panties.

 

It was utter torture for InuYasha to just sit there when his youki was screaming for him to just grab her and take her. He wanted to bury himself inside of her. Now. Trying to control his instinctive urge, he bit his lip and hissed when she straddled his lap, her skirt riding high around her hips. InuYasha automatically grabbed her bottom and slid his hand between her thighs, making her gasp. Her arousal was intoxicating and he could bury himself in her scent. “You are so ready for me, Mrs. Takahashi,” he rasped, his voice heavy with need.

 

A smirk that the hanyou normally wore made its way onto Kagome's lips. Pressing her mouth against his neck, she said huskily, “The better to fuck you with.” A low pleased growl sounded by her ear as she placed hot kisses along his collarbone. Leaning back, she quickly stripped off her blouse and bra and tossed them aside. She rubbed enticingly against his frame as she grounded her hips suggestively against him, making him suck in his breath with a hiss. Raw emotions coursed through his body as he gripped her hips and leaned up to catch her mouth with his.

 

Kagome put her hands on his chest and pushed back slightly, avoiding his kiss, and raised her eyes to meet the sex-glazed look of her husband. He seemed dazed as he tried to focus his gaze on her eyes, continually shifting his stare to her mouth as if he desperately wanted to kiss her. A slight smile curved on Kagome's lips as she shook her head. Not yet.

 

Yash tampered down his impatience. Up until this point, he was quite pleased with his self control, even as he clenched his teeth and sweat began to bead on his chest from the exertion of trying not to lose control. But when he tried to lift her up to impale her on him and she warded off his hands, he couldn't help the guttural growl that escaped his lips. Frustrated by her denial, he issued a throaty warning and she teasingly murmured, “Tsk, tsk, patience, love.”

 

“Fuck it, wench,” he gritted out.

 

Kagome laughed provocatively and teasingly trailed her fingers down between their bodies, down his muscular chest, past his chiseled abs, lightly brushing his naval until her hand grasped his hard length, eliciting a strangled moan from her husband. “No, not yet.” Shifting slightly, she raised her hips and slowly lowered herself until she enclosed around him. “But I am now.”

 

He groaned in approval as she grabbed his shoulders for leverage and began to move them as one, setting the pace, provokingly slow at first, and then quickening her motions. She grounded against him and arched her back, her long black hair thrown back. She moaned breathlessly as he held her tight and began moving his own hips to match her thrusts. Fisting her hands into his hair, she gave a low enticing laugh and whispered teasingly against his ear, “Who's the boss now?”

 

A low rumbling growl and a deep, bruising kiss was her only answer.
