Sneaking a Peek by SunsetMiko

Wide Eyed

Chapter 73 - Wide Eyed

The first half of this was written for Stella's Proverbial Challenge, Prompt: Woman is man's ruin.

Sesshoumaru turned slowly, having finally succeeded in calming down, and watched as Kagome's eyes widened. "Are you all right?" he inquired, concerned that she was regretting her decision already.

"I'm good," she said before swallowing hard. "That thing's kinda big though, isn't it?"

"This Sesshoumaru would never hurt you," he assured her, staying put where he stood. He wasn't sure if she wanted him to approach or not. "Not with my hands, not with my heart, and not with my penis, I promise."

"But, you want to put that big thing inside of little old me? Won't it hurt?"

"Not if it is done properly, and this Sesshoumaru knows what I am doing. Trust me, Kagome."

"I... I do trust you," she said hesitantly, though her confidence in his promise grew. "I do trust you," she said, sounding much more convincing. She flipped back the bedding and patted the mattress. "Join me?"

Sesshoumaru approached slowly and lay down beside the miko. When she quickly flipped the blankets over him, covering him from the waist down, he chuckled. "Seen enough?" he teased.

"No!" she exclaimed, blushing brightly. "I just want to focus on the top half for a while."

"Do as you will," he told her, relaxing into the soft mattress. Kagome sat semi-reclined beside the taiyoukai and reached out hesitantly. From the instant her hand touched his chest, Sesshoumaru knew he was ruined for other women. Her innocent expression, her hesitant touch, the feel of her cool hand on his hot skin, it was perfect and he found himself falling even further in love with the miko. She caressed his chest so delicately, but thoroughly as well. She didn't miss a spot, and when her fingertips brushed over one small male nipple, he gasped, causing Kagome to jerk back.

"Did I hurt you?" she asked in concern.

"The furthest thing from it," he responded, catching her hand and bringing it back to his chest. "Touch me," he whispered.

"You know this is kind of like a dream come true. Back when I was sneaking around trying to see you naked, I never thought I would get the opportunity to actually touch you. Your skin is so soft," she declared. "And I'll bet you don't have to do anything to keep it that way. Demon bodies just aren't fair," she said as her hand moved lower, tracing the muscle definition of his abdomen.

Suddenly, something dawned on the miko and she pulled away. "You can never see me naked," she announced, shocking the taiyoukai who'd been hoping to do just that.

"Why not?" he asked her, deeply concerned that something somewhere had gone terribly wrong. Should he not have allowed her to see his body? She'd already seen most of it anyway. Could the sight of his penis really be that upsetting?

"Because! You've been with youkai females. I can't possibly compare to them. My body is soft in places and scarred all over. You... You can't see. If you do, you'll never want me."

Sesshoumaru fought down the desire to sigh and reached up to caress the miko's cheek. "Kagome," he started softly. "I am extremely attracted to you. I find you far more beautiful that any woman I have ever been with and I have never even seen you unclothed. I will love your body; I know it, scars and all. I do not expect you to be perfect. Those imperfections are what makes you Kagome, the woman that I want to be with. You have nothing to fear."

"Oh, sure, you can say that now, but what if you think I'm fat? Or my breasts are too small or not perky enough? You could take one look at me and lose all interest. I... I don't want to lose you."

"And you will not," he attempted to assure her. He hadn't been expecting such self-consciousness from the miko, but perhaps he should have seen it coming. She knew he'd been with demonesses in the past. Of course she would think to compare herself with them. "I have no interest in any other woman, Kagome. You have nothing to fear. Should you not be taking advantage of the opportunity to touch this Sesshoumaru?" he asked, hoping to get her mind off of her insecurities. How he ached to tell her he loved her, but he still feared it was too soon. He was there, naked, beside her and she was exploring his body. The last thing he wanted to do was ruin it.

"I suppose I should," the miko replied with a smile. "It's not every day I have a naked man practically begging for me to touch him," she teased

"I was not begging," he shot back. "And this could certainly happen every day if you desire it," he offered in a flirtatious tone.

"I just might," Kagome said with a smile. She surprised him when she leaned down and dragged her tongue over his nipple, ripping another gasp from his throat. This time she knew the cause and shot him a self-satisfied smirk. "This is fun."

Kagome continued to touch, caress, and even lick his chest and abdomen, moving lower and lower until she reached the edge of the blankets covering his lower body. It was obvious that he was aroused. The tent in the fabric did little to hide it, and the miko hesitated for a moment before flipping the blankets off of his body.

Her eyes widened again. "That certainly got bigger," she said in that tone he loved, and Sesshoumaru was relieved that she no longer seemed intimidated by his cock, even though it had clearly grown larger when he became aroused.

"This does not frighten you?" he asked.

"You promised not to hurt me. I trust you," she said softly, staring at the foreign-looking appendage. "Can I...?"

"Touch it?" he clarified. "Please do." His tone could have been classified as pleading, but he didn't care. He ached for her touch there and when her small hand brushed against his hot skin, he couldn't help but purr in pleasure.
