A shock for Rin II

 

It was late and it was dark. Rin huddled more into her coat as she walked home. She had to work late today and by the time she was free, everyone had already gone. Seshoumaru had still been working when she had left. She sincerely wished that she had taken up his offer to drop her home.

 

As she passed an open bar, a couple of men wolf-whistled at her, “Where you goin' princess? Come and have a drink with us.”

 

Rin just walked faster. She was getting scared. Thunder rumbled in the sky and she winced. She had always been afraid of thunder. Her apartment was still an hour and a half away.

 

She had barely taken a few more steps when it started raining heavily. Great just what she needed. She breathed deeply, trying not to cry as she felt like.

 

She crossed her arms over her chest to keep warm. Trying to keep herself distracted, she pondered over Seshoumaru's odd behavior lately. At first it had been embarrassing for her when she had realized that he was the man she had insulted in the bar but when she found out that the only reason he had promoted her with the exception of her skills was because she had been outright and frank with him had been an astounding discovery.

 

However lately he had been very irritable and short-tempered with her making her fear that he might want to fire her. This really worried her. She liked working next to him, she realized.

 

Her head started aching and she tried to walk faster. Suddenly she saw the beam of a car behind her. It stopped besides her and an irritated voice said, “Get in the car you little idiot. You'll get sick!”

 

Without thinking, Rin stepped into the car without protest. Shivering, she managed a shaky `thank you'. Seshoumaru turned up the heater and started driving, “I told you to let me pick and drop you. If it wasn't for your foolish pride, you wouldn't be wet and cold right now.”

 

Shivering, Rin answered, “I couldn't find anyone to give me a lift home. By the time I was free, everyone was gone. You were busy. I didn't want to annoy you. You're already mad at me as it is.” She muttered the last part under her breath in a low tone.

 

Being a demon, Seshoumaru heard her and his heart clenched at the pain and desperation lining her voice. His hands tightened on the steering wheel as he said, “I'm not mad at you. It's your scent that id driving me mad.”

 

Rin stared at him, “I stink?”

 

Seshoumaru laughed bitterly, “I wish you did. You're in heat and your scent is growing more and more unbearable everyday.”

 

Rin grew pale. She knew what going in heat meant. He monthly was due any moment. That explained a lot. “Um…I'm sorry.”

 

Seshoumaru chuckled at this, “You're sorry? For what?”

 

Rin turned red, “I don't know. For making you angry? I didn't mean to.”

 

Seshoumaru glanced at her exasperated, “I am not stupid. I am perfectly aware that it is not your fault. However that does not stop the effect your smell has on me.”

 

Rin stared at him, “My stink- I mean smell, affects you?”

 

Seshoumaru's eyes hardened in response.

 

Blushing even harder, Rin mumbled, “I'll take that as a yes.”

 

The car stopped. “We've reached.”

 

Rin turned around to thank him, and let out a startled gasp. Their faces were inches apart, his wearing an intense expression.

 

She tried to speak but no words left her mouth. She could hardly think. His golden eyes were smoldering and were growing darker and darker. Their lips were only a centimeter apart when his nostrils flared and he whispered, “You might want to hurry up to your apartment now.”

 

Rin grew red and fumbled with her purse and was about to step out of the car when Seshoumaru called her name.

 

“Rin.”

 

She turned and found a pair of lips fastened to hers. His lips were soft and hard. And really really warm. Before she knew it, the kiss was over.

 

“Go.”

 

Without thinking, Rin half ran out of the car to the complex and rushed through the front door. Seshoumaru only smiled at her haste. His eyes had a red tinge around them as he murmured in a husky tone, soothing his inner beast, “Soon.”

 

*&^*^&*^&*^&*&*^

 

It was early morning as Rin rushed out her bathroom. Her head was still pounding because of the loud music from the apartment upstairs. She checked her hair, threw a lip gloss in her bag. Locking the door, she rushed out, missing the parked Jaguar with the amused occupant looking at her. He started the car and pulled it alongside the frantic girl who was jogging.

 

“Rin. Get in the car.”

 

Rin nearly fell over in shock. “Seshoumaru! I mean. . . Sir! I mean.. .. Takahashi-sama!” She fumbled over her words, her face growing redder by the minute.

 

“Rin.”

 

She blushed harder and got into the car, “Sorry. Um…you surprised me.”

 

Seshoumaru smirked, “I can see that.”

 

Rin promptly shut up.

 

“Have you had any breakfast?” Seshoumaru asked.

 

Rin nodded her head, “I drank some milk.”

 

Seshoumaru snorted, “Milk hardly constitutes as breakfast.”

 

Rin grumbled something inaudible under her breath that sounded something like ` stupid arrogant rich dogboy'.

 

Seshoumaru chose not to say anything. They drove in silence for the next few minutes. He then made a turn into a drive through. Ordering a coffee latte, he turned to the surprised and envious girl next to him, “What would you have?”

 

“Huh?”

 

Seshoumaru looked at her patiently, “What would like to have Rin?”

 

Rin looked shaken, “That's all right, Sir. I'm not hungry.”

 

Seshoumaru ignored her and turned to the speaker, “Two coffee lattes then.”

 

Rin stammered uneasily, “You really don't have to get me anything.”

 

Seshoumaru continued to ignore her. He tapped his hands on the steering wheel, waiting for the order. Motioned forward he did so, and thrust one latte into his unwilling assistant's hand, “Here drink.”

 

The car started rolling again, and they both sipped their lattes in silence. Finally Rin broke the silence with a mumbled' thank you'. When they reached their designated building, Rin rushed out in a hurry, while Seshoumaru strolled in at a leisurely pace.

 

They entered the elevator which seemed really big and empty to Rin. She pressed her back to the wall, hoping to reach the top floor quickly. Her emotions were all jumbled up. She didn't know what made Seshoumaru act like he did yesterday. Why was he waiting for her in the morning? It all made no sense. A groan of frustration slipped out rousing her companion.

 

“Rin.”

 

Rin opened her eyes. He was standing right in front of her, his eyes smoldering. All he had to do was say her name and she was putty in his hands. They both were aware of that. Rin just stood there, not knowing what to say and how to say it. A tingling grew in her belly.

 

“Seshoumaru.”

 

That's all that escaped her lips and he was upon her. His mouth ravished hers brutally, his one hand pinning both her wrists above her head, while the other held her head in place. Rin whimpered, as she responded wildly. She struggled, trying to release her hands but Seshoumaru wouldn't let them go. His grip was strong, firmly pinning her in place.

 

His firm lips coaxed her mouth open and his tongue entered determined to get to know the recesses of her mouth better. She went limp in his grip. Her stance was submissive, willing him to take and he did. He took and took and gave and gave, till her knees gave out and she was standing only by the hold he had on her hands while his mouth plundered hers.

 

The ding of the elevator cleared the fog in her mind and she pulled back. Seshoumaru rested his forehead against hers, as they both drew ragged breaths. Flushed Rin could hardly stand up and the moment Seshoumaru released her wrists, she plummeted to the floor. However, he caught her around the waist and hauled her towards him.

 

His breathing unstable, he whispered hoarsely, “What are you doing to me, onna?”

 

Rin could hardly think, let alone form a reply to his question. As her head cleared however, what she had just done came to her and feelings of shame and humiliation crept over her. What had she been thinking? She would have to hand in her resignation tomorrow. She wasn't this type of girl. How could she have. . . . .

 

Seshoumaru smelled the tears long before he smelled the sudden change in her scent. Without thinking, he started growling, a long rumbling growl. While it was soothing, it was also the sound made when one's mate was in distress.

 

Seshoumaru realized this and was startled. He knew he had feelings for this girl but for her to be his chosen was astounding. He also realized that he didn't mind. She fitted him perfectly in every way.

 

“Rin.” However, she shook her head and tried to run out of the elevator, away from him, away from her disgrace. But he wouldn't let her. “Why are you running from me?”

 

The question made her jolt her head in defiance at him, tears streaming down her face, as she answered, “I kissed you! I kissed my employer! I work for you! I am not one who mixes business with pleasure.”

 

“Do you care for me?” Seshoumaru questioned.

 

“What?” This shocked Rin out of her misery.

 

“Do you care for me?”

 

“I don't know!” she choked out.

 

“Why did you kiss me?”

 

“You kissed me!” Rin cried indignantly.

 

“Ah. But you responded.”

 

“I-I….. Can't we go back to the way things were?”

 

Seshoumaru shook his head, “That would be impossible. I'm going to find it difficult not to think about how you feel under me.”

 

Rin took a step back, out of the elevator. “Seshoumaru, please. I can't…..You can't!'

 

Seshoumaru matched her step for step, “Can't what, Rin?”

 

“Please stop it!”

 

Seshoumaru stopped in his tracks. He turned his head away, “I'll give you sometime to think about what happened and why. A week is all I will bear. If you don't give me a proper answer by then, we'll continue this conversation.”

 

With that, he turned on his heel and walked gracefully into his room.
