These words lit a fire in InuYasha he had never experienced before. He crushed his lips down on hers, feeling more complete in her arms than he ever had before. In this moment, with her, nothing else mattered. Not even the jewel or Naraku. All he cared about was the woman in his arms and the fact that she loved him and he loved her, and nothing would keep them apart.

Kagome let out a deep moan against his lips as he deepened their kiss. She could feel his hands wandering over her body. He was positively shaking against her, and it only made her want more. Tentatively, she reached up with her right hand and touched one of his ears. He growled at the touch. Growing braver, she stroked the ear from tip to base, exploring what reactions she could get from her hanyou.

Suddenly, he pulled away from her lips and before she knew what was happening, he had hiked both of her legs up around his waist and had her back pressed up against the nearest tree. He buried his face against her neck and breathed heavily as he spoke, "Damnit, wench. You keep that up and you're going to learn exactly how fragile my control is around you."

Squeezing her legs tighter around his waist, Kagome took both of his ears in her hands and stroked them both as sensually as she could. He pulled back just enough to look her in the eyes. His face looked like that of a starving dog staring at a steak dinner. "Ka-Kagome..." he pleaded as his eyelids fell to half-mast.

"It's ok, InuYasha. You don't have to control yourself around me. Not anymore." Her voice was low, nervous, and music to his ears.

Growling loudly, he plunged his tongue back into her mouth, needing to taste some part of her. His hands came to rest under her skirt, holding her backside. He kneaded it, eliciting excited moans from the woman in his arms. This spurred him on, causing him to flick his claws over the thin material she called panties, shredding them enough so they fell away in tatters to the forest floor.

Finding a boldness in himself he didn't know he possessed when it came to such things, he reached with one hand to feel her center. Finding her so warm and wet pulled a whimper from him. She gasped against his lips when he ran his finger along the little nub of flesh above her opening. Smiling, he spoke softly to her, "You like that, wench?"

She bit her bottom lip and muttered a soft, "Mmm hmm."

Experimenting, he ran his finger against it again. Her hips bucked into him and she panted out, "I-InuYasha!"

He could feel her becoming absolutely dripping wet with each flick of his finger. The smell she was giving off had him straining even in his extremely loose hakama. Her whole body moved around his fingers as he explored her more deeply. Delving deep inside her brought a full on scream from her lips, causing him to smirk devilishly.

"I-InuYashaaaaa..." she moaned out as she squeezed tight around the two fingers he currently had deep inside her. He brought them in and out of her at a quick pace, mindful of his claws lest he hurt her. Each time he went back inside her, he could feel her clench even more around him. The wetness she created literally dripped down her thighs and onto the grass below her. Her hands clutched his shoulders, having long ago given up on her own teasing. "Oh... oh GOD!" Kagome cried out, suddenly convulsing heavily. Her entire being shook as she reached her climax.

Not giving her time to come down from her high, InuYasha withdrew his fingers from her. When he thought about this moment later, he would never know how his hakama came off without his letting her down from the tree, but somehow he managed it. His kimono and kosode hung open loosely, revealing his bare chest to her. He positioned himself against her and looked into her eyes. They were glazed over from passion, but she understood his silent question. She nodded once and before she knew it, he had thrust himself as deep inside her as he could.

He held himself there for a moment, allowing her to adjust to him. He wondered absently if she knew she was contracting her muscles around him, hissing at the sensation. Slowly, he withdrew as far as he could without completely pulling free and plunged right back in. Her head threw back at this, revealing her neck to him in the most tantalizing manner. Leaving one hand on her ass to hold her, he brought the other up to feel her breast as he brought his lips to her neck.

Kagome clinched his bare shoulders, his kosode and kimono having fallen to rest at his elbows. Her breathing came in short gasping pants now. Coherent thoughts had long ago left her mind. The only thing she knew right now was she needed him to keep going. InuYasha slowly built to a rhythm that no mortal man could ever hope to achieve, pounding her so hard and deep that she couldn't even see clearly. His tongue and lips continued to tease the skin on her neck and jaw, sending shivers up and down her spine.

Before long, she could feel that buildup once again that meant she was close. He knew it too, as he had quickened his pace somehow and began rolling his hips, hoping to give her more pleasure in the act. InuYasha was close too and he intended on finishing with her. His love. His mate. His Kagome. He grabbed one of her hands and pressed it up against the tree next to her head, whispering her name against her ear, "Kagome..."

Her flesh surrounding him then clutched him so tight even he could not withdraw from her. Her scream as she writhed heavily against him could probably be heard for miles. InuYasha pushed himself into her one final time, feeling himself become taut with the strain of putting off his own release. Unable to keep it inside any longer, he pulled her down on him and let himself go. His entire body shook as he held her close to him, sweat beading down both of their bodies, his chest rising and falling quickly.

Ever so slowly, they both came down from their euphoria and looked at the other. Kagome smiled at him, sensually. He leaned in and placed a soft kiss on her lips. "I told you," he whispered, a smirk playing on his face.

"You told me what?" she asked, voice hoarse and husky.

"That you'd make me lose control if you kept playing with my damn ears."

Her eyes glowed with playfulness. Slowly, she walked two fingers up the side of his neck and on up until she grasped an ear once again. "Is that so?" She whispered.

Growling, InuYasha mumbled, "You fucking wench. You're gonna get it..." as he claimed her mouth with own once again.
