This Sesshoumaru Doesn't Do Christmas

Chapter 12 - Slow and Steady…

Sunday, November 30,2008

 

 

Sesshoumaru fought back a groan as she rolled her hips, increasing the pressure and friction between their bodies to the perfect level. “I'm definitely going to need a demonstration.”

 

“I think that can be arranged,” Kagome said with a playfully sexy little grin.

 

He kissed her slowly, passionately, choosing to ignore his earlier decision to avoid temptation. She was far to tempting and he never wanted to avoid her. Besides, perhaps a little release of the incredible pressure she'd grown within him over the last few days might keep him from exploding. Finally allowing her to breathe again, his lips traced her jaw line, burying his face once more in the curve of her throat. He took in her scent as deeply as he dared without drawing attention to the fact that he was sniffing her like a dog at a well used hydrant.

 

Kagome smiled. She'd been wondering how long it would take him to do that. Her man, no, her demon, had serious self control. Of that she was more than convinced. When his lips brushed her throat she tilted her head to the side just slightly, silently begging him to take a chance.

 

In his head, the beast was whispering. `You know you want to. Go on. Do it. Just a little lick to see how she'll react.' When Sesshoumaru acted as if he was ignoring the beast entirely he decided another route was in order. `Remember what Inuyasha suggested? You thought it was a good idea. Gradually… You wanted to slowly introduce her to our instincts, ease into it so it doesn't surprise or overwhelm her. Don't you think it's time?'

 

Still, the beast received no response as Sesshoumaru continued to softly kiss what he could reach of her collarbone. It was already difficult enough without the devil whispering in his ear. He couldn't lick her! What if she hated it?! The last thing he wanted her to see him as was a common dog, a house pet with an annoying habit, but every second weakened his resolve against it. He did need to show her, to stop hiding it all, and sooner rather than later before he lost all control and blew it entirely. Gradual had to be the best way… right?

 

The beast, though he thought it was ridiculous, still understood his other half's reservations and fears. It dawned on him then. She'd already given him the perfect answer. In fact, the more he thought about it the more he was certain that she was definitely trying to tell them something. Did she figure it out? Did she suspect something? He knew she'd noticed the markings when he'd allowed her a glimpse. The way she'd posed herself the day before… the way she'd tilted her head slightly in encouragement moments ago… was she trying purposely to draw out everything he was hiding from her?

 

`Were you listening to her just a minute ago? She said if we did something she didn't like or that made her uncomfortable she would say something. You're never going to know if you don't try, and if she doesn't like it… well, then at least you'll know instead of wondering, right?'

 

The beast had finally won, and Sesshoumaru sucked in a quick, nervous breath before allowing his tongue to slip out and ever so lightly slide along the soft and absolutely delicious skin of her throat. Every nerve in his body sang, like a soft wave of electricity had just washed over him, and he absolutely ached to do it again.

 

Kagome's smile widened. Finally… Finally he'd done it and it was better than she'd imagined. “Again,” she whispered, tilting her head further, fully exposing to him the column of pale, fragile skin he mentally worshipped. It was time to give her puppy some positive reinforcement.

 

He could actually see where her pulse pounded rapidly in her throat and awed at her trust in him. One little slice, one careless slip of a fang, and the life would pour from her in seconds. He was a predator and yet she held no fear of being his prey. He was so busy being amazed by her action that he totally blanked on the fact that she'd said something.

 

She let out a frustrated little groan and tugged at his hair. When he lifted his gaze from her pulse point and their eyes met she smiled. “I said `Again'. Don't make me beg,” she gently prodded in a softly teasing tone. When his eyes widened in surprise she laughed. “You would like the idea of me begging, wouldn't you?” She kissed him, finding it amusing when it took him a moment to shake himself from his stunned state and respond in kind.

 

`I told you,' the beast said quietly in the recesses of his mind. `Now would you quit being shocked that she likes something you did to her and do it again!'

 

A small smile pulled at his lips as Sesshoumaru retraced his path across her throat, this time taking a much less hesitant taste, dragging his tongue slowly over her thudding pulse. It was a million times better than the first and he found himself wondering as she moaned and rolled her hips against his just why he'd waited so long to give it a shot.

 

“More,” she groaned pleadingly and suddenly it was obvious to the very dense demon that she not only didn't mind, but that she was enjoying it very much. She wasn't lying or exaggerating either. Kagome was finding the dog demons attentions incredible, only wishing he'd done so sooner. She'd been waiting for her demon to act like one for a long time.

 

This time Sesshoumaru didn't need to be asked twice, and began trailing his tongue over her skin in long pulls, covering all he could of her collarbone, growling almost silently at her sweater for impeding him, and then moving up her throat to kiss behind her ear. He moved to the other side and repeated his journey in reverse. When he was once again stopped by her clothing he tried unsuccessfully to nudge it out of his way with his nose before regretfully removing one hand from her ass to yank it to the side.

 

Kagome giggled at his frustration. “You know,” she paused playfully, waiting until she had his full attention. “…you could just take it off.”

 

He smirked at her as she lifted her arms for him and in seconds the bulky sweater she'd been hiding in was on the floor several feet away. “Much better,” he said before returning to his task, eager to taste all the skin now revealed to him.

 

“What? Didn't you like my sweater?” she asked with a laugh turned moan as his tongue found an especially sensitive spot.

 

He glanced at the offending pile of cloth with his smirk still firmly in place. “This Sesshoumaru likes it much more where it is now.”

 

“Why am I not surprised?”

 

Sesshoumaru returned to his attentions until he decided he couldn't possibly reach enough of her in this position. He gently laid her back on the floor, pillowing her head with her discarded sweater, deciding it might as well be good for something. He found that he missed the comfortable weight of her on his lap and the feeling of her body wrapped around his, along with the blessed rolling of her hips as well of course, but when he surveyed the beauty of her laid out before him Sesshoumaru decided that the sacrifice was worth it.

 

He leaned down and kissed her passionately before returning to the activity he'd been waiting nearly ten months to engage in. He kissed and licked every inch of her chest and abdomen, carefully tracing the lacy garment hiding her breasts from him. He knew it was driving her crazy; the knowledge only making him enjoy it more as she arched and squirmed beneath him in a near-silent attempt to get the contact she desired.

 

Finally he decided he couldn't wait much longer, and if he didn't quit teasing her soon chances were good Kagome would kill him, and he slowly ran the palms of his hands along her sides. They slipped beneath her back, lifting her slightly, and while he took advantage of the convenient angle to kiss her senseless, Sesshoumaru's agile fingers unhooked her bra. When he was sure she was close to turning blue he pulled back and slowly lowered her back to the ground while at the same time slipping her bra from her body.

 

Kagome was nearly trembling in anticipation. He'd just barely avoided being threatened with purification and as his lips made his way to her breasts she was worried that she might pass out from panting so hard and for quite so long. Her lips quirked into a half smile at the thought. `He's the dog, and yet I'm the one panting. Oh dear god yes!' All thoughts were wiped from her mind as she finally felt his hot tongue on her breast.

 

He started as far from her nipple as possible, forming a nautilus shape as he spiraled in towards the tight pink peak. Her taste was even sweeter there and the dog demon found himself taking his time once more. Kagome made the most arousing sounds as she whimpered and arched her back against his erotic torture. It seemed he would never make it to the place she currently wanted him most as his spiral suddenly began growing larger again.

 

“Sesshoumaru, I swear to…”

 

Her threat transformed into a cry of pleasure when he purposely caught her off guard, taking her nipple between his lips quickly before sucking firmly. Her hands wound their way into his hair, holding him in place, though he had no intention of moving just yet anyway. After nearly a minute he decided he must look far too much like a suckling pup and reluctantly released his long desired prize.

 

He locked eyes with hers with a smug smirk and Kagome lightly smacked his shoulder. “You're trying to kill me, aren't you?” she asked playfully.

 

“Mmm, never,” he murmured before kissing her softly and then proceeded to begin his teasing on her previously neglected breast. Again he took his good sweet time, and even though she was expecting it this time, he still managed to surprise her and she was certain she'd nearly had an orgasm right then. Deciding he'd tormented her enough for the moment he made his way up her body once more to look into her eyes. He looked so happy, so relaxed, and his golden orbs held a bright glimmer she'd never seen before but knew she definitely wanted to see again.

 

“Enjoying yourself?” she teasingly inquired, wondering just how it felt for him to finally follow at least some of his instincts after hiding them for so long. She'd never felt more beautiful or loved than she did at that moment, having been thoroughly worshipped by her very attentive male, and again she wondered why he'd thought it necessary to hide his desire to do so from her. What woman wouldn't love every second of it?

 

“Very much so,” he nearly purred in her ear. “And you?”

 

In a mockingly bored tone she replied, “Eh… it was alright.” She immediately regretted her response as his smile disappeared and his eyes showed a flash of pain before turning cold. He started to sit back, unable to face her anymore, but she locked her legs quickly around his hips. “No. No, no, put the smile back. Don't look at me like that. I was kidding.”

 

Her voice was apologetic and nearly begging, but there was little change in his expression. She should have known better than to tease in such a way when he was obviously so insecure about it, but it slipped out before she could think it through and she wished she had an undo button to put that beautiful look back in his eyes, so full of comfort and self-assurance. It felt like she'd just ripped away every bit of his confidence and she hated herself for it.

 

“Sesshoumaru,” she pleaded, “of course I enjoyed it. I'd have to be crazy or numb not to. I… I was so sure it was obvious. I didn't mean… I loved it. I loved it and I wanted it to go on forever. Please don't look so hurt.”

 

“This Sesshoumaru is not hurt,” he lied and inside his beast was banging his head against a mental brick wall. How the hell could he have taken that the wrong way? She'd done nothing but moan and cry out, arch and squirm. It would have been obvious to a blind and deaf person, and yet a taiyoukai missed it?!

 

Kagome's mind was racing as she tried to think of a way to fix things, coming up with only one possibility. “I… I can prove it.”

 

He studied her in confusion for a moment. “And how could you possibly do that?” he asked blandly.

 

“I've never…” She sucked in a deep breath, remembered the way he'd looked just a minute earlier, and then spit it out. “I've never been so turned on in my whole life.”

 

One curved eyebrow lifted and he sniffed the air, for a moment forgetting that he didn't want to be doing that in front of her, and his other brow joined the first. A small smirk pulled at his lips and Kagome finally allowed her tense muscles to relax. “This Sesshoumaru will have to investigate your claim,” he said in a promising tone that made her shudder beneath him. He was far from done with her.
