His mouth met hers in a harsh, hungry kiss, the clash of his fangs making her lips chafe and bleed. Breaking from her with another growl, his hand fell to the union of their flesh, a frayed groan escaping her as his fingertips glided along her opened sex.
“Kagome,” he spoke into the side of her throat, easing his inward pace as he rolled her ripened nub beneath the pad of his thumb.
Her head lolled back against his chest, her arms wrapping around his as pleasure bloomed within her. She closed her eyes, savoring the sensation. When he touched her like that, when he said her name like that, she could almost imagine, she could almost believe—
“Look at me.”
Her eyes fluttered open, dreamy and soft. But his own gaze was sharp and intent.
Red.
She tried to reel herself back from the edge, but it was too late. With a wordless gasp, her climax jolted through her, her walls contracting like the heart in her chest.
He snarled with lust as she spasmed around him. Without even seeming to break pace, he twisted her completely in his arms. Her scratched, bitten breasts flattened against his chiseled chest, her tired fingers scrabbling for purchase against the smooth planes of his back.
His hips stilled as he buried his claws in her hair, bringing her face close to his own. Youki seethed about them, Kagome swallowing as it pressed against her, dark and insistent.
“Lower your defenses, Kagome,” he murmured, his crimson gaze hooded. “Lower your defenses, and let me in.”
Her breath caught. What he was asking of her was beyond dangerous. If she had any real sense of self-preservation left, she would never even think twice about giving in to such a demand.
But somewhere along the way, she had come to trust this bloodthirsty demon. Even in his wild, sex-crazed state, Kagome trusted him still.
And so after a moment of hesitation, she reined in her spiritual defenses, her veins chilling as her power retreated into the depths of her soul. Sesshoumaru’s lips seared against her pulse, his youki seeping like cold fire through her pores, scalding and freezing her all at once. Kagome shivered at this unbridled invasion in a mixture of terror and agony and stark, biting arousal.
“This is what you did to me, when my arm was severed.” Coarse and burning, his tongue grated along the line of her jaw. “This is what you do to me, still.”
His demonic aura penetrated her deeper, her nerves igniting like tinder at the assault. Sweat and gooseflesh broke out across her skin in equal measure, every instinct screaming at her to purify him–to unleash her sealed reiki and drive him out of her in a furious blaze. The tension of being tainted by him was immense…and exhilarating.
Kagome drew in a tremulous breath, the Jewel fragment at her breast dimming to mauve. “Sesshoumaru…”
His dark energy buffeted her from within, stoking her lust from the inside out. Her nipples hardened, her filled core wetting around him to the base. Moaning shamelessly, she clung to him. Even before he began to move again, she could feel herself already teetering on the brink.
Feeling this too, Sesshoumaru heightened his pace, his thrusts growing increasingly erratic as he set his brow against hers. Their panting breaths mingled, his eyes scorching into hers as his youki roiled through them both. Wincing, Kagome nicked her bottom lip at a particularly sharp jab, the dot of blood whisked away by the scrape of his tongue.
“You are going to take my seed, Kagome,” he ground out, his left arm crushing her hips even more firmly to his. “Do you know what that means?”
Her heart pounded, euphoria rising within her. As his eyes began to clear, she held her breath in captivation.
In desperate hope.
“It means you are mine.”
Savagely, he crashed against her, shattering her along with him.
“You are mine.”
She cried out as he flooded her in a torrent, her body seizing around him.
“You. Are. Mine.”
His claws fastened in her flesh, his pulsating length driving into her still, punctuating each syllable of his declaration with another gouging thrust. Each word, each stroke stamped into her like a fiery brand. She whimpered beneath the force of his claim, her channel convulsing around him in the broken afterechoes of her release.
Her numb fingers trailed down his chest, curling as they came to rest. There was no question how greatly and deeply he desired her–the evidence of that was planted in the very center of her, pooled there like the youki in her veins. She looked into his eyes and saw the sheen of that unvarnished lust gilding them still.
She was the object of his sexual obsession. An obsession which he’d fought tooth and nail to contain. An obsession which she’d fought just as hard to draw out.
This was what she’d wanted, wasn’t it–for him to surrender to his passion for her? And now, at last, he had. He’d taken her, just like she’d dreamed he would.
She should be ecstatic. She should be thrilled.
She…
Her lashes trembled as he slowed within her, a few tears spilling down her cheeks. As soon as they fell, another few slipped down to replace them. Before Kagome knew it, her eyes were helplessly streaming.
Sesshoumaru’s flesh was inside her. His essence was inside her. She was as full of him as she could possibly be–as close to him as she could possibly be. And yet, somehow, she felt as far away from him as she had ever been.
Claw tips touched to her cheek, breaking the path of her tears. “Are you in pain?”
Within her, he was sated and still. Empty, but not like her. At last, he had given her everything he’d wanted to give.
And Kagome knew now, in her heart, that it would never be enough.
The corner of her mouth lifted in a hopeless half-smile. “Only a little.”

This was an emotional chapter, physically and mentally. Will Kagome be with child? Did they semi-mesh aura’s? What does this mean for their relationship? What is Sesshomaru’s POV on this matter and on Kagome’s feelings? I have so many questions, which I know you will leave me guessing… lol
“He gave her everything he wanted to give…” would suggest that he has accepted her and wants her. On the other hand, Kagome is doubting her place. She feels like an obsession/possession and I am left wondering what to feel. I can’t wait for the next chapter.
Yes…it was very emotional for me too ;_;
Lots of possibilities from here though 🙂 Absolutely love hearing your take!! Thanks so much again for sharing! <3
Nooooo Wait. It was supposed to be a happy ending. Or at least an ignorantly blissful ending. Why so emotional and disturbing? Such a buzzkill… ☹️
They still have so far to go.
So sorry!! ;_; pains me too…
Why do I have the feeling she wanted to hear a confession from him. Has he ever been love before? Does he even know or understand the concept of romantic love?
If not, then that would be another obstacle for our heroine.
Indeed, indeed…
Poor Kagome 🙁
Thanks for sharing your take, Doug!! <3
💔
;_;
Oh man, Kagome’s emotional state is so worrisome, but I can’t help but wonder if she’s misreading him. I doubt a youkai like Sesshoumaru would think in the same wavelength as a human woman. I feel like concepts like love isn’t familiar to him, thus his scorn of his father’s relationship with Izayoi.
If I remember correctly, he’s never even used the word ‘love’ in any of his povs, but he’s used the word ‘weak’ many many times. I think, that might be what Sesshoumaru equates it to. His loss of self control, his father’s demise and his uncontrollable thoughts that cling to Kagome seem to point in that direction. Or hey, I could just be overly hopeful, heh.
Also, these updates destroy me with how great your explicit chapters are… I’ve read fanfics for many many series, and I’ve often noticed that many authors write their sex scenes pretty similarly. Or they at least sound similar in tone and vernacular. Yours is so different and distinct that I find them a lot more heart pounding in how you’ve woven both physical and emotional intensity in but with your own spicy details that I could almost taste…
Oh man, I absolutely love reading your insights into Kagome’s and Sess’s mindsets!! 😀
And thank you so much! That’s an incredibly huge compliment you’ve paid me – I really put a lot of thought into the sex scenes. In every encounter, I try to think about what I want to highlight or explore as it pertains to the relationship and story as a whole! I think a lot of writers – even really great ones – just tend to think, “ok it’s time for a sex scene” and then go through the motions (literally lol).
I’m a firm believer that even in smutty stories, the smut should have a point 🙂 makes things so much more interesting
Anyway, sorry to ramble! Thanks again, Mimo! So happy you’re enjoying the updates 🙂 <3
This was exactly why I loved them so much! Not only are they hot, but I could notice the ways Sesshoumaru changed within them! Kagome had been swift, and her emotional development towards was mostly outside of sex (though his mind blowing abilities in the sack most definitely helped), but the way Sesshoumaru’s attitude and willingness slowly but surely opened up to her was–delicious!!!
And, no, thank /you/ char! I rarely interact with ongoing fiction but your work has been especially enjoyable to follow along.
(Also, yes, it is exactly how sex scenes are usually written. Like interludes to drama…like a ‘now kiss!’ scene to tide people over until the next development)
I agree, a lot of writers treat sex scenes like they’re a pause from the plot and character development, but in a really good romance they’re used as key moments to explore and bring in new elements to the relationship.
Char, you definitely do that.
I empathize deeply with Kagome in this chapter, I would not want to be in love and having sex only to feel like my partner viewed me as an obsession. It would be heart breaking. I don’t think Sess is doing it intentionally, but he certainly is lacking the perspective of a human when it comes to what our hearts need and look for from a partner.
Oh definitely. I don’t envy Kagome’s position very much. Not only do I lack the overall courage to deal with any of the crazy stuff she goes through regularly (and that overwhelming burden of shikon no tama on top of Naraku–and his curse on Miroku…) Honestly, Kagome is something of a hero to me.
And yeah, I dont think Sesshoumaru would understand what exactly it is to treat someone as an ‘equal’ to himself in general. He took the entirety of Inuyasha to realize that he DIDNT want power enough to sacrifice Rin for it…and Bakusaiga was only something he gained at the end when he let go of his obsession of Tesseiga/his father’s power. So I feel that he’ll most probably take awhile to develop until the point where he can dig his head out of his own ass and realize there are more important things than being The Strongest.
Since, he’s kind of got a looong centuries worth when it it comes to track record of how single minded he could be… (so, considering how much change he’s already gone through in a short amount of time, you could almost consider Kagome’s affect on him to be close to a miracle lmao)
Wow. Just WOW! Again, I need to tell you how incredibly talented you are! I love how you mix humor in with the nail-biting suspense and drama. And the chemistry between Kagome and Sess is hotter than in any fanfic I’ve read to date (and I’ve read a lot- I’m obsessed with Sesshomaru). The sex scenes you write are so fresh and novel, so utterly dirty, nasty, and hot-yet written so tastefully and beautifully. I was late to work because I just could not stop reading this story! Please more!
::blushes:: Omg, thanks so very much!! i’m blown away! 🙂
you’ve paid me so many incredible compliments!! writing sex scenes is – dare i say it – my passion! so that is so wonderful to hear that i’m keeping things interesting there 🙂 🙂
sorry you were late to work lol! thanks so much again for your kind words & feedback!! hope you enjoy the future updates <3
