Kagome struggled to breath as she stared up at the ceiling of the cave, panting. That had been…explosive. There were no other words to describe it. She hadn’t thought it would be…She could feel the hot reminder of what had just ended throbbing between her thighs and splattered across her thighs and stomach. She felt Kouga shift beneath her but he didn’t move. He just turned his head and kissed her neck tenderly.

“You alright?” Kouga whispered, her voice low and rough. Gentle.

She nodded wordlessly. Her body was languid, boneless. She didn’t want to move. Her eyes slid closed. She had to go, though. Kouga had gotten what he’d wanted. That had been the deal. His arms came up around her in that same position as before, bringing hers so that both of their arms cradled her.

“I said one night, Kagome.” Kouga whispered against her ear, his voice husky. “You don’t have to go yet.” He was using that to his full advantage. He could finally breathe again, his body coming down from that high that Kagome had sent him to. He wasn’t going to let her go yet; he knew Kagome had thought he’d meant one time. He had meant one time—then. But the thought had come—one night. And he wanted her all night. He wanted to hold her in his arms all night.

His arms tightened a fraction and then he rolled them over so that they were on their sides and he was cradling her from behind still. He shifted his leg up and threw it over hers, keeping her pinned against his chest. “You don’t have to go yet.” He murmured again.

Kagome couldn’t stop the sigh that passed her lips but it wasn’t one of annoyance. It was contentment. She didn’t want to feel it…but she did. Utter satisfaction—she couldn’t move a muscle and the warmth of his body behind her cocooned her in world of their own. There was no one else—just the two of them. The warmth of his body was luring her to sleep and before she realized it her eyes were drifting shut. She felt a soft rumble against her back…

Was he purring?

She didn’t wake all at once. It came slowly, the realization that she was warm. Comfortable. The realization that warm, muscled arms surrounded her body. And the memory of how they had gotten there. Kagome opened her eyes slowly, her eyes coming in contact with the ridged wall. Fire light danced off the edges, dim. She turned her head slightly; the fire was dying down. It was dark but not dark enough to where she could see…

A soft snore purred against her back and she could feel the heat rushing into her cheeks. Kouga had…she had…they’d…

How was she going to explain this to Inuyasha? He would know. Kouga had said he wouldn’t though…She forced her mind away from that impossible path as she felt that gentle rumble again. It wasn’t loud; it was barely there even, just small enough where it wouldn’t annoy her.

She’d never liked a man that snored.

Kouga’s snore was…perfect. She closed her eyes again; she really needed to go. She could feel his even breathes against the back of her neck, tickling her skin. She really needed to go…She smoothed her tongue over her dry lips as she slowly pulled from the loose ring of his arms. She half expected him to wake any moment; he was a demon, they had keen senses; but he slept on. He shifted in his sleep when his arm came in contact with the place where her body had been. And then she saw him as she turned.

She paused. Firelight danced off the panes of his face, high lighting those rakish features of his. In his sleep he looked so…peaceful. Every other time she’d seen him was when he’d been searching for the Shards or when he’d been arguing with Inuyasha. He’d always been tense, kind of.

He was beautiful, if you could call a man that. She was just a human girl to his Demon male—and he was definitely male—so she couldn’t help it that she lowered her gaze. This body that had given her so much pleasure…She hadn’t actually noticed it before but his body was tanned and muscled—hard muscles. Sculpted. And…she could feel her cheeks burning as her gaze went further. That. That rested against his right thigh, looking so harmless and innocent…but she knew better.

And before her very gaze, that started to grow hard. Her cheeks, she swore they felt scorched as she jerked her gaze up. Laughing, sleep filled blue eyes met hers and then his arms were surrounding her body again, pulling her flush up against him, fitting her back into the curve of his body again. “Looked your fill?” He whispered against her ear, chuckling.

“Ugh…”

He chuckled again and rubbed his chin against the top of her head. “Go back to sleep.” He murmured, his arms and the strength behind them luring her back to sleep…

When she woke again, it was to the tendrils of morning light filtering into the cave; and Kouga kissing her neck into awareness. She couldn’t miss the regret in his eyes as he sped through the trees with her in his arms. “I still don’t think it’s safe for you to go jumping into that well like that…”

“It’s complicated.”

Kagome clutched the small vile of only God knew what in her hands as he stopped at the edge of the well, skidding to a halt. She didn’t know what was in it but he’d told her to drink it. All of it. As if that was supposed to take care of the smell? She wasn’t so sure it’d work. Kouga didn’t doubt it though…

He knew what he was talking about?

Kagome winced as she swung a leg over the edge of the well. Kouga had made sure to keep them upwind; he had everything figured out, didn’t he? Her body was sore, a reminder of what had passed between them. The pain. The pleasure. Dammit, Inuyasha was going to kill him when he found out—she was going to come back smelling like a damn field of flowers with all the lotion she was going to put on.

What was she supposed to say now, though? Was she supposed to thank him for blacking mailing her? Thank him for the hot, mind blowing sex—

Kouga cupped her chin, his thumb smoothing over her cheek. “God, you’re beautiful when you blush.”

She blushed even harder at that, her cheeks burning crimson. “I gotta go.” She blurted as she jumped into the well. She missed the look that crossed Kouga’s face as he watched her disappear into the darkness. She missed the look that would have told her just how hard it was for him to let her go in that moment.

Kagome was damn near hyperventilating when her feet touched solid ground again. Why? Because she had slept with Kouga. She’d had sex with Kouga. She’d come apart in his arms. She’d enjoyed it.

“Kagome, you’re back—“

“Yea, I’m back!” Kagome called out, her voice hoarse, ignoring her mother’s welcome as she rushed up the stairs. Locking herself in the bathroom she placed her hands over her burning cheeks, staring at herself in the mirror. She didn’t look any different. Well, her cheeks were flushed—duh—and she looked, well, she didn’t know how she looked. There was really nothing to tell that she’d been thoroughly fucked the night before.

She closed her eyes. Thoroughly fucked…What she needed was a nice, long hot soak in the tub. She jerked her shirt up over her head and just let her shorts fall. They were ruined beyond repair—she wanted a bath just in case Inuyasha came looking for her. He had a tendency to come through the Well when she was least expecting it. On an afterthought she downed the contents in the vial. That had better work…It had to. She paused then as she caught sight of her naked body in the mirror. When had…She cupped her hand over her right hip, sliding her fingers over the bruise like fingerprints, the small scratches where his claws had dug into her skin, holding her in place…

Kagome gasped and clapped her hand over the side of her neck where a hicky stood out in contrast to the smooth paleness of her skin. She remembered that moment when his lips had latched onto her neck, his tongue teasing, his mouth sucking…

She groaned.
