Lover Untamed
Chapter twelve

It was just after ten pm when Kouga slammed the door to his apartment closed with a savage growl and glowered at the slab of wood for good measure before stomping toward his kitchen and getting a beer from the fridge. He needed a goddamn drink after the day he'd had and nobody was going to stop him from having one. Or ten.

Grumbling under his breath about stupid wind witches and weird circus freaks, the wolf demon slumped down on his couch and chugged down half the contents of his beer before heaving a sigh and rubbing his eyes tiredly. Fuck, what a day. After visiting Kagome's useless friends, in which they divulged absolutely fucking squat – though he had to give them props for being so loyal, as damningly frustrating as it was – he'd scoured the entire district, looking in her favorite shops, places, every damn park within walking distance, had called her family what seemed like hundreds of times, even grilled her ancient landlord again and still he had no leads whatsoever to where she might be.

It was annoying, aggravating, tiresome, frustrating, and he'd never been so damn worried in his life. Was she okay? Hurt? Terrified out of her mind? Fuck, of course she had to be! That stupid instinct-driven animal has her and there was no telling what he was doing to her. It was blatantly obvious to him what the bastard wanted; Kouga had smelled his disgusting lust clear as day at the Yukhanza Fair while his woman had been in the beast's clutches and it absolutely sickened him.

"Kagome," Kouga whispered, squeezing his eyes shut and clutching his beer bottle. "Please be safe."

The sudden shrill of his cell phone pierced the air, disturbing his thoughts, and Kouga scowled, debating on ignoring it, but then if it was that bitchy wind demon with information on his woman, he didn't want to miss it.

Grumbling, he fished out his mobile and swiped his finger across the screen before holding it up to his ear. "What," he barked, taking another swig of his beer.

"Stop wallowing in self pity, wolfboy, and grab a pen and paper. I've got a lead."

Cool blue eyes, safe and familiar, gazed down at her with an absolute adoration and Kagome sighed as Kouga tucked a strand of hair behind her ear tenderly, trailing his fingers along the line of her jaw and sweeping down her neck. She giggled at the ticklish sensation and his husky chuckle reverberated in her ears. Kagome smiled, then sighed when she felt a pair of warm lips kiss her nose then drop lower to capture her mouth in a soft, loving kiss that she happily returned.

However, after a few seconds, Kagome frowned and pulled back, puzzled. She touched her lips; she could feel them. She glanced up at her boyfriend who was grinning down at her. Reflexively she smiled back and then he was kissing her again, and once more she reciprocated, thinking that perhaps she had imagined it. But no; the peculiar sensation of numbness against her lips made her draw back again, concern furrowing her brows this time as she reached up and pressed her fingertips to Kouga's mouth.

She gasped; she couldn't feel anything under her touch. Kouga's lips were moving, but she couldn't hear what he was saying. Confused, Kagome she shook her head and used both of her hands to map her boyfriend's face, tracing his nose, jaw, eyebrows and ears and her frown deepened when the feeling of warm skin did not register under her fingers.

Kouga didn't even seem to be aware of what was happening; he was still grinning down at her and saying something, but still Kagome couldn't hear anything, couldn't feel anything her fingers touched, and she opened her mouth to ask why she couldn't feel him, but nothing came out. She shook her head, pressing her hand to her throat, and for some reason the errant thought that Shippou had stolen her voice again and she'd have to get it back when he came back from fox training crossed her mind.

Satisfied with that reasoning, Kagome looked back up at her wolf-demon boyfriend, however instead of the cobalt blue gaze she was expecting, she was met with fiery crimson, jagged violet streaks slashing across strong cheekbones and a mouth displaying sharp fangs smirked arrogantly down at her. Surprise filtered through her mind, but there was no fear and she didn't even wonder where Kouga had disappeared to. Warmth bloomed in her chest and she smiled, his name falling from her lips on a sigh. He growled and her smile widened because she could hear it, and then he raised his hand—

Kagome gasped as the thin fabric of her shirt easily tore under sharp talons, revealing the soft pink lace of her bra and a sliver of pale flesh but before she could even think to cover up, a large hand darted out and seized both of her wrists. A feral growl emitted from the demon and it rolled over her skin like dark velvet, igniting goosebumps and eliciting a shiver to crawl along the length of her spine. She tipped her head back and gazed up at the face hovering dangerously close to hers, familiar scarlet eyes boring into her own brown pools and with a deft move he suddenly jerked her against him, pulling her arms up over her head and forcing her back to bow, pressing her flush against him. Her soft body melted into his hard frame and she mewled in pleasure, relieved that she could feel him, all of him, soaking in his warmth, making all previous numbness disappear completely.

A clawed hand cupped her chin and she obediently tipped her head back as her eyes fluttered close, lips parting in anticipation. Another low, pleased rumble vibrated against her chest and her nipples hardened in reaction. She gasped, but it was swallowed a second later when a pair of demanding lips crushed down her own, a hot tongue thrusting inside and stealing the very breathe from her lungs. Almost desperately Kagome kissed him back, tugging at the firm hold on her wrists, needing to touch him, explore that muscled chest, run her fingers over hard male nipples and map the contours with her mouth.

As one of his fangs dragged across her jaw then down her neck, electric blue eyes flashed through her mind accompanied by the strange, out of place feeling of guilt but before she could truly dwell on it a large palm was covering her breast and tugging at her nipple and then Kagome forgot everything.

Without any warning her gave her a gentle shove and then suddenly Kagome was naked and her back was pressed against the warm tile of the bathroom shower, her skin slick from the hot water pouting from the spout above them. Inuyasha's head was between her thighs, eating her out and her hands were in his hair, her mouth was screaming his name while pleasure coursed through her body. Even as sense of déjà vu swept through her something amazing was happening in the pit of her belly, building, building, growing stronger, hotter, more intense with every sweep of his tongue, every stroke, every deep, hedonistic growl as he lapped up everything she had to offer him.

Then it hit her out of nowhere and she screamed and before she could even make sense of anything they were suddenly out of the shower and her back was against the softness of her mattress. Inuyasha was kneeling above her, the look on his face eager, feral, and Kagome wondered when he had taken off his jeans but then she wondered nothing at all when suddenly he was inside her with one solid thrust, slamming into her again and again and Kagome cried out as euphoria ricocheted throughout her body. She clung to him, sobbing, begging and her demon lover readily complied, fucking her into the mattress, his hands entwined with her own, face mere centimeters above her own. His lips brushed over hers, his rough breathing echoed in her ears, intermingled with soft grunts and low groans that Kagome answered with pleading whimpers and purring moans.

Abruptly her vision cleared and she was gazing up into beautiful amber eyes, darkened with his desire for her, and a flush rode high on flawless, tanned cheeks. The longer she stared into those eyes, the louder the little voice in the back of her head became, telling her that for some reason that it was wrong, but she couldn't fathom why because seeing Inuyasha with golden eyes seemed so natural, right, like he was supposed to have whiskey-colored pools that she wanted to drown in.

But then he growled, have a hard, grinding thrust and suddenly it didn't even matter anymore, she didn't care as long as he continued to love her so good and never stop, never stop, more, harder, faster—

"Kagome," he whispered and his voice lacked the rough, husky edge Kagome had become accustomed to and she opened her eyes – when had she closed them? – just as he leaned his forehead against her own and stared hard into her eyes. Kagome's breath caught in her throat at the intensity in those heated amber pools. Unconsciously her hands pressed against his chest and his hips continued to pump steadily, his frantic thrusting a thing of the past now as he filled her over and over with slow, even strokes.

She breathed his name and leaned up for a kiss, but then he delivered one last hard, savage thrust and Kagome saw stars as her orgasm tore through her, her body going taut, her heart pounding and she was vaguely aware of Inuyasha leaning down and whispering in her ear—

"Help me."

Kagome jolted awake with a gasp, shooting upright in bed, face feeling hot and her heart thundering wildly in her chest. Wide brown eyes gazed directly ahead through the dark room and out the newly repaired window into the night. Pressing a hand against her chest, Kagome sucked in a breath and glanced down at the kitsune beside her, hoping she hadn't disturbed him. Thankfully Shippou was still slumbering away, curled up in a little ball on the pillow clutching a tiny fox plushie.

She closed her eyes and breathed deeply for a minute or two, attempting to regain her bearings but unfortunately that only made her keenly aware of the highly aroused state her body was currently in from the dream she'd woken from. Her face grew hotter and she pressed her thighs together, squirming a little as her core throbbed with unfulfillment. God, when was the last time she'd had a wet dream that…intense? Certainly not since she'd met Kouga—

Kouga. Oh, God. Smashing a hand against her mouth to stifle the sob that threatened to escape, squeezed her eyes shut tight as the guilt hit her square in the chest, seizing her heart and squeezing viciously. She couldn't believe…she'd just had an erotic dream that wasn't about her boyfriend. What was wrong with her? Why was this suddenly happening now? Ever since Inuyasha—

Kagome froze and her eyes shot open wide and her previously heated face quickly drained of color. Heart pounding in her chest for a completely different reason now, Kagome bit her lip and ever so slowly turned her head, paying to the Gods that he wasn't in the room, that his damned demon senses hadn't picked up on her body's condition, that he couldn't smell—

Scarlet eyes glowed right at her through the dark from his position lounging against the wall and Kagome's heart skipped a beat even as dread swept through her because the arrogant, knowing smirk curling his lips suggested he knew exactly what she'd been dreaming, and who of, and once more her face flamed. A little sound of hysteria bubbled up from her throat before she stumbled out of bed and dashed out of the room as quick as she could, locking herself in the bathroom but not fast enough to miss the low, growling chuckle following after her.

Oh god. What the hell was she going to do now? Or worse yet…

How the hell was she going to face him?!

-X-

Short? Yes. Filler chapter? Yes. Am I a giant asshole? A thousand times yes.

So, honestly? I really…don't have any excuse. None. Nada. Zilch. Zero.

And for that, I am terribly, terribly, truly sorry.

I suppose I can say it was lack of motivation, writer's block, inspiration, or just plain laziness, but honestly I don't know why it took me so long to get his update out.

But, you can thank my (annoying, pestering, persistent) lovely friends for this update because they made me feel like a guilty fuck. They know who they are.

Anyway, I know I probably lost some readers, and I completely understand that and to those of you who have the patience of a Saint and have stuck around this far, I love you so much, thank you, you all mean the world to me! And to make up for not updating in years (Jesus Christ I'm horrible) I gave ya'll some smut. It's tame compared to my usual, and it was only dream smut, but at least it's something…? *gets bricked*

Well, anyway…I hope you enjoyed this update. I don't know when the next one will be out, so please don't ask.

Until next time,
Keiz
