Clove

Deadly Spices

Stella’s Spicy Challenge

Prompt: Clove

--

The next day at work was… awkward, to say the least. Kagome and Sango passed each other frequently, and every time they would meet, Sango avoided her eyes and a heavy blush settled over her tan cheeks.

Sesshomaru and Miroku had also noticed the change, and gave each other wondering glances.

“I wonder what’s going on between them. Did they fight?” Miroku asked, unaware of the scent of arousal that was passing between the two.

“I do not suspect that is the reason for their actions.” Sesshomaru’s eyes narrowed, looking towards the girl whom had shared passionate evenings with.

“Perhaps it’s a lover’s quarrel!” Miroku grinned, thinking erotic images in his mind. “A man can only dream, right Sesshomaru?”

“Get back to work. The afternoon rush is upon us.” Sesshomaru’s voice was cold as he prepared his dish with his usual precision.

Kagome came into the room, stopping as she saw the look on his face as she entered.

“Sesshomaru? Is something wrong?” She asked, walking up to him and putting her hands on the counter. Miroku could sense the tension between the two, and made a dash to the seperate room where the dirty dishes were piled up, shutting the door behind him. Sesshomaru watched this and looked from Kagome to his cutting board, frowning.

“That should be my line, girl.” He spat, making deft work of cutting vegetables and throwing them into a skillet to sauté.

“What do you mean? Did I do something wrong?” She questioned, confused. He sighed, looking to her with hardened eyes.

“Did you think I would not find out about your little tryst, Kagome? Do not take me for a fool.” He replied, turning to her and motioning for her to move. She did, allowing him access to the pantry behind her.

“Tryst? What do you mean?” She asked, blushing. Did he mean her and Sango?

“You and that woman, Sango. Your arousal around her is making it hard to breathe.” He turned, grabbing her shoulders and pushing her against the wall.

“No! It wasn’t like that… we didn’t do anything… I wanted to talk to you, before…”

“Before…?”

“She told me she was attracted to me, and I admitted the same… but I didn’t want to hurt you, so I told her I would talk to you first.”

“I see.” His eyes turned red, his hand lowering to her waist. “Do you dream of such a coupling? With a woman?”

Kagome blushed, turning her head as he came closer to her.

“Shall I remind you, you are mine to possess? Body… and spirit.” His breath was hot against her neck, his fangs pressing against her flesh.

“I… I don’t know…” She felt hot against him, her legs pressing together as he lapped at the skin of her body.

“I shall show you that you will not need the body of another, man or woman…”

The response of her body was enough to heal his body of any betrayal, and the way she pleaded his name pleased him to no amends.
