Chapter 93 - The Shame *Aria* (Stella's Soundtrack Challenge)

"Not too bad," Kagome whispered, fighting to keep her voice normal. It was an incredibly difficult task considering just how attractive the now shirtless male in front of her was.

"Is that all?" Sesshoumaru asked. "Just, 'Not too bad'?" His smirk gave away his knowledge of her current difficulties, and she scowled at him.

"What do you think I should have said then?” She tried to think of an appropriate, yet teasing word. “Mmmm, delicious?" she hummed sensually, sending a pulse of need through the taiyoukai's body.

"That works," he replied softly. After several long moments passed, Sesshoumaru decided to nudge things along. "I thought you desired to touch me." He slowly moved closer to the miko, aching for her touch. He hoped not to spook her even though her scent betrayed her inner thoughts. She was conflicted; aroused but nervous, excited but hesitant.

Kagome finally dragged her eyes off his chest to his face and grinned. She rose from the bed and tossed the covers back before climbing in once more and scooting to the far side. "Lay down for me," she ordered, faking confidence. Inside, she was falling apart, unsure what in the world she had just gotten herself into but unwilling to back down.

The taiyoukai had to bite back a groan as the woman he needed so badly invited him to lie beside her. Her gaze was heated, and it quickly became obvious that despite her nervousness, this was really going to happen. He could only hope that her physical attraction to him was not all she felt, because while he would love to be with her, he wanted so much more than her body.

"Are you coming?" she asked playfully, and this time Sesshoumaru did groan.

'Gods, I wish,' he thought to himself, thankful for his baggy pants. His armor couldn't have hurt at the moment either, because no amount of flowing silk was going to hide his arousal once he lay down. Everything about this situation was turning him on, and nothing was going to bring down his erection, short of her suddenly finding him disgusting or worse, which he actually slightly feared. She had dismissed his morning erection with humor, but this was different. This was proof that he had no control of his body in the presence of this nymph, this naughty little miko.

"Is something wrong?" Kagome asked, nervousness sneaking into her tone. She didn't know why he wasn't moving. Had she misread his actions so badly? He said he loved her, said she would give him beautiful pups. Surely that meant he was physically attracted to her! All that flirting had to mean that he wanted her, didn't it?

The miko looked him over, head to toe, studying the look in his eyes and the expression on his face, finding no help there. Her eyes moved lower, tracing over his perfectly defined muscles that her fingers were dying to trace. It took her a minute to unglue her focus from his bare chest and abdomen, but once she did, a small smirk pulled at her lips. "Oh, I see," she said softly, her eyes glittering with mischief. "Afraid I'll notice something?"

Sesshoumaru's eyes widened at the knowledge that she had spotted his shameful lack of self-control and froze, worried that now she would turn him away. He watched in confusion and not a little fear as she rose and slowly approached him. He nearly choked on his own tongue as she ran once finger down the center of his chest, moving lower and lower until she hooked it in the waist of his hakama, just above where his body was screaming for her touch.

She gave a small tug, and when he didn't budge she did it again, a little harder this time. The taiyoukai allowed her to pull him along behind her. Kagome led him right to the edge of the bed before letting go of his pants and stepping past him. He stayed as still as a statue as she grabbed her pack and dug around in it for a moment. She removed something before tossing it into an empty corner, the sound of it hitting the floor causing him to jump slightly.

"I'm gonna go change into my pajamas," she said softly. "Why don't you get in the bed, and," she paused for a moment, dragging out his torture, "arrange yourself however you're comfortable." Without looking at him, Kagome turned and started towards the door. A moment of confidence hit her, and the miko smirked as she patted his butt before leaving a stunned Sesshoumaru alone in the room.
