Disappointment (Part II)

Prompt: Skin

Word Count: 291

“…You…don’t?”

Kagome wasn’t sure why, but for some reason, her voice squeaked uncomfortably on the last word. It had something to do with her throat tightening and the prickle that she felt around her eyes, she was sure.

“Oh. Okay…Uh. Well. I’ll just take it off then shall I?” Why did it sound like she was holding back tears?

The hurt miko made to turn and shut the door on this embarrassing incident when Sesshoumaru grabbed her shoulder and molded his body to hers, encompassing her in a warm, slightly sticky hug. Confused, she tentatively hugged him back, still offended but enjoying the comforting feeling.

He spoke then, his voice deep and tinged with a slight huskiness that made her eyebrows rise.

“My apologies, Kagome. This one lied. I most certainly like your bikini. Well, that is not strictly true.” At her annoyed look, he hurriedly continued, “I only like it because you are in it.”

The young woman blushed profusely. Pulling away to really look at her partner’s face, she couldn’t help but ask,

“Then why did you have that reaction? Or, more specifically, no reaction?

“As soon as I saw you, my mind instantly supplied me with many more, interesting presentations of you in that scandalous swimsuit – preferably in this bed here – and this Sesshoumaru has seen your bare body many times. Thus, when I felt such strong lust knowing you, I could not help but think of what other males on the beach would think when such a temptress was put in their sights.”

“So it was jealousy?” Kagome asked incredulously.

“Of course.” The demon mumbled into her shoulder as he began to lick her sweaty neck, “You have entirely too much of your delectable skin on show.”
