It was one time. A wonderful one time.

It was over now, though. In the morning, all of this would disappear. Their lives would go on, and they would never think about this night. At least, he wouldn't.

She, on the other hand, would wonder late at night if he had been her biggest mistake, or her greatest blessing. Then again, the line between the two had always been blurred.

*~Bourbon & Brandy ~*

She had been at the Shikon Shack, the smallest pub on the outskirts of the town. She was drinking straight bourbon, trying to drown her sorrows, when he walked in. She didn't take notice to him; he was simply another man whom was coming for a drink. But he'd taken notice to her.

Her raven black locks hung in ringlets down her straight back. The tight jeans and grey sweater she wore did nothing to hide her beautiful curves. Her heart-shaped face was accentuated by big, electric blue eyes and plump, pink lips. She wore no make-up, she didn't need to.

He walked up to her, and was surprised when she didn't look at him or pay him any mind. Any other woman would have thrown themselves at him. Did anything they could to have him bed them. But this woman in front of him, she was different. He could tell right away. And he wanted her.

He sat down beside her on one of the barstools and motioned for the bartender. He immediately came over and asked for his choice. The bartender poured him a glass of Brandy after he told him so. He grabbed the glass and cradled it while turning to watch the woman with the raven colored hair. He studied her for several minutes, watching as she drained her glass before indicating for another one. The bartender gave her a strange look.

"Miss, this will be your fifth glass this evening. I don't believe you should have any more."

The woman gave him a death glare. "What good is it to stop when I'm not even drunk?"

The bartender, Kai his nametag read, gaped. "You have to be at least tipsy!"

"Do I look 'tipsy' to you?"

"Well… No..."

"Pour me another, K" The woman pulled a wad of bills out of her pocket and threw it at Kai. He saw that it was all hundreds and couldn't help but wonder how she'd gotten all that money. The bartender quickly grabbed the bills and stuffed them in his pocket while getting a bottle of bourbon for the woman. When he went to fill her glass, she suddenly grabbed the bottle out of his grasp and just drank out of it instead.

The bartender gaped again before turning and serving some other drunk.

"Hnnn," he rumbled. "Feisty, I like that." He looked at her intensely. She looked at him out of the corner of her eye and frowned. Other than that, she ignored him.

He rumbled again before reaching out and snagging the bottle out of her hand and taking a swig of it himself. When he looked at her again, she was glaring icily at him while her eye twitched. He grinned, seeing he had her undivided attention. She reached for her bottle, but was unable to get it because he raised it above his head. Her frown deepened and she stood and attempted to grab her bottle again. He hadn't realized she was as short as she was. They were almost the same height like they were, with her standing and him sitting. He drew his hand back, making sure she couldn't reach the bottle. She stepped forward and set her hand on his shoulder so she could lean in and reach for the bourbon. Unknowing to her, she had just pushed her breasts into his face. His eyes widened while he took in a sharp breath. She pressed herself harder into him, stretching on her tip toes so she could reach the bottle. He gave a growl and stood in a flash at the same time she wrapped her hand around the neck of the bottle, over his hand. He remained bent, his face in line and only inches from hers. Without warning, he closed the distance between them and crashed their lips together. At her surprised gasp, he invaded her mouth with his tongue and kissed her hungrily. His unoccupied hand went to the small of her back to drag her against him. Their kiss ended abruptly when she pulled back for air, her chest heaving against his as she panted.

His forehead rested against her own as they fought for breath. After they were breathing normally, he gave a devilish smirk. "I'm Sesshomaru Taisho."

"Kagome Higurashi." She replied. He purred and pulled the bourbon bottle out of her hand to instead place it on the bar counter.

"Your place or mine?" He asked her sexily.

"Yours." She replied while looking deeply into his eyes.

He smirked again and pulled away long enough to pull a couple hundred dollar bills out of his pocket to throw on the counter. He turned and grabbed her hand, getting ready to lead her to his car when suddenly she stopped. He looked back to see her grabbing his half-empty glass of Brandy and downed it before replacing it on the bar.

*~Bourbon & Brandy ~*

Sesshomaru pulled Kagome out of the elevator of his condo, leading her into his suit. When the door shut, he suddenly slammed her back against it, kissing her with a fiery passion that could rival the sun. He crushed her body against the unforgiving wood with his own; her soft curves a stark contrast to his hard plains. Her hands went to grasp her hips, pulling her into his hard erection. He pulled his mouth from hers in favor of attacking her neck, laving her pulse point with his tongue and sharp nips. She groaned at his ministrations. He pulled her away from the door while picking her up. Her long legs when around his hips while her arms when around his neck. He carried her to his bedroom, kicking the door closed and turning on his bedside lamp once inside. He laid her down on the bed and proceeded to pull her sweater off her, revealing her black lacy lingerie. He ran his hands up her sides, brushing her flat stomach and the underside of her breasts. Kagome shivered and gave a breathy moan, her body bowing gently. Sesshomaru leaned down and licked her collar bone, nibbling it softly while running his hands up and down her body. His fingers hooked in the front of her jeans, undoing the button and pulling the zipper down with practiced hands. Before he could pull them off her, she flipped them, resulting in her straddling his waist. She reached down, undoing each of the buttons on his black button-up shirt. When she was done, she spread the material and leaned down to flick her tongue over one of his nipples. He groaned at the strange sensation. She traced the lines of his chest and abs, running her fingers slowly through his silver happy trail. He grabbed her hips, running his hands under her jeans to grasp her ass. He pulled her pants down, and she sat up to pull them the rest of the way off and threw them across the room. She unclasped the front of his black jeans and reached her hand inside. She cupped him while sucking on his nipple, pulling at the tight bud with her teeth. He let loose a growl of pleasure and bucked up into her hand.

Sesshomaru flipped them once again, ripping his jeans off while doing so. He stared down at her, taking in every dip and curve of her body. The scrap of black fabric that hid her treasures from his searching eyes left little to the imagination. He cupped one of her breasts, playing with the nipple through the fabric of her bra. He captured the other with his lips, sucking and biting the taunt peak. She gave a throaty moan as he reached behind her to unclasp the cloth, letting it go slack before pulling it off her and throwing it behind him. He pinched her nipple between his fingers, being mindful of his claws, and pulled. She gasped and arched her back. He continued to play with her breasts for several moments before sliding slowly down her body, stopping only at her stomach where he dipped his tongue into her navel while grazing it with his fangs. He moved lower, parting her legs, and taking in her musky scent. He lowered his head to her sopping center, kissing her hard bud through the cloth of her panties. She gave a small jerk and a beautiful feminine moan before whimpering in need. Sesshomaru bit the center of her panties while pulling, slipping them off her and discarding them. He then lowered his head to her pussy again, dragging his tongue from the bottom of her slit to her clit. She jerked again and cried out, her hands going into his hair and tangling themselves there. She pulled his head tight against her flower, her juices covering his face and making him groan in sweet abandon. He began to feast on her, licking up her nectar and plunging his tongue in and out of her at a rapid pace. All the while, Kagome bucked her hips against his head and pulled his hair, crying and panting in rapture. He captured her clit between his teeth, holding it while flicking it quickly with his tongue. He grabbed her hips and forced her harder against his mouth. She bucked more, her voice getting louder and higher. Her cries were beautiful and arousing, causing his cock to nearly combust. Suddenly she let loose a thunderous scream and came hard, drenching his face. He quickly started to lap at her essence, cleaning her. He was grinning by the time he pulled away, his face wet. He wiped his face with his arm as he crawled up her body to settle between her thighs. He gave her a hungry kiss, allowing her to taste herself on his lips. She gave a tired groan, her hands removing themselves from his hair in favor of wrapping around his neck. Kagome lifted her hips, grinding against his aching length. He growled in warning, entering her with the tip before pulling back out. She gave a small whimper, wanting him to fill her. He ripped himself away from her mouth, at the same time he slammed into her, entering her small body in one, brutal thrust. She screamed, tears springing into her eyes. Her body was stiff and tense, and her walls rippled in pain around him. He pulled back with surprise, not moving an inch inside of her.

"You… were a virgin?" He asked uncertainly. There was slight fear in his eyes. She could do naught but nod. His eyes widened slightly. He had taken a virgin… while she was drunk. He was certain that she would feel as if this was the worst mistake of her life. While he wasn't correct about the drunk part, she didn't yet know if he was about the mistake. He was brought out of his musing with a groan as the woman under him shifted. He couldn't help himself as he pulled out of her before slamming back in. This caused Kagome to cry out, her back once again arching. He repeated his actions, getting the same reaction as before. Before long, he was pounding into her depths. She surprised him by begging. "Hnnn… Harder… Ah! Yes! Faster, God, faster! Yesss! Oh God!" She was an energetic lover, not passive. When Sesshomaru started to approach his climax rapidly, his thrusts started to get uneven and erratic. Within seconds, Kagome was screaming his name and forcing him to come right behind her.

They made love long into the night; it was midnight before they were both too exhausted to continue. They fell asleep together, holding each other. If someone were to see them, they would have sworn the two were lovers. But they didn't care. It was their time, their time to be together, to love each other in the only way they could. They both knew that when morning came, she would have to leave. They would go their separate ways and most likely never see each other again.
