Chapter 1: Hot N Cold

A sigh escaped red painted lips as the woman sank to the black leather couch. One glance at the clock told her that he wasn't coming home tonight. He must have forgotten the promise he had made her to be home for their anniversary.

She had been planning to surprise him by cooking his favorite meal and to show off her new sexy dress.

Now, the food was cold on the table and she was all dressed up with nowhere to go. The dress was far too risqué for her and she would never wear it out in public.

She wasn't surprised that he forgot. Just disappointed.

She had been looking forward to tonight all week. She and Inuyasha were so busy with work that she seldom saw her fiancé.

Of course, work wasn't the only thing keeping Inuyasha busy. He was always going out with friends and finding new women to fool around with.

Honestly, his chasing women didn't bother her that much. She believed that one person could love one and sleep with another. He always came home to her when he was finished with them.

She only hoped he didn't bring another woman back here. Again.

She didn't like the awkwardness of it. She knew he was doing it, didn't often care, but it was a slap in the face when he brought them back to the house.

Besides, if he was off fucking someone else, he usually didn't come home and want her.

She loved him. She really did. He was just so boring in bed. She wanted a little kink and adventure. His idea of a hot night was him heaving over her while she stared at the ceiling. It was always missionary when they were together. He didn't even want oral sex. Not that she really wanted to do that to him. He said since he wouldn't return the favor, there was no reason to go down on him.

Kagome had heard stories of his escapades that made her sure that the hanyou gave it better to random women than he did her.

What was wrong with her? Her head leaned back on the pillow as she looked at the ceiling. She was more concerned that Inuyasha was fucking women the way she wanted it, then about the fact that he was sleeping with other women.

Damn, she was sick.

She glanced at her cell phone. It was resting on the coffee table and she entertained the idea of calling him.

She decided against it. He probably wouldn't answer anyway.

A knock on the door sounded. Maybe Inuyasha had just been running late and had stopped to get her some flowers. His hands must be full so he managed to knock on the door since he couldn't pull his keys from his pocket.

She rushed to the door and swung it open. The smile dropped from her face when she saw Inuyasha's oldest brother, Sesshomaru.

Inuyasha was the middle of five children. Sesshomaru and Riku were youkai, both the children of their father and a youkai woman.  They were the oldest.  Inuyasha was the oldest child of their father and his human lover.  Rin and Shippo were younger than Inuyasha.

Actually the three, the father, Sesshomaru's mother and Inuyasha's mother lived together and shared the same bed.

Kagome found it bizarre, but who was she to judge? Besides, the three of them seemed happy with the arrangement. That was all that mattered.

"Oh. Hello Sesshomaru." She plastered the fake smile on her face.

"Spare me the feigned enthusiasm, miko. I am here to see the hanyou."

"He hasn't come home yet. He had to work late tonight." Kagome had no desire to tell the arrogant prick that Inuyasha had stood her up.

On their anniversary nonetheless!

His eyes started at her bare feet and trailed up her fantastically formed naked legs. A slinky white halter dress hugged her curvy body from mid-thigh to her breasts, then wrapped around her neck. Her long slightly wavy raven hair hung to her hips. In all the years he had known the girl, he had never seen her in something so sexy.

His citrine eyes moved back to her full breasts and lingered a touch too long.

Her face heated at his more than thorough once over, even as anger took hold. "Hey!" She snapped her fingers in his face. "I'm up here!" The index and middle fingers of her right hand made a V shape and pointed from her eyes from his eyes in a waving motion.

"Women only where clothing like that when they want men to pay attention."

"Inuyasha was supposed to be the only one to see it."

"Hn." He brushed by her without being invited in. "Then, this Sesshomaru shall await his return."

Kagome closed the door as the demon sat in the spot she had recently vacated. He was wearing a pair of flawless white slacks, and opened red and white striped shirt with a tight, very simple black shirt under it. The black shirt clung to every defined muscle on his torso. He was hotter than hell and he knew it too. Worst of all, he knew she knew.

"Woman." He drew Kagome's attention from his body to his eyes. He made the same motion with his right hand as she had just done to him. "I'm up here." His voice was icy like always. Kagome sincerely hoped he poked himself in one of those sinful eyes with one of his long nails as he mocked her.

His moonlight silver hair brushed the collar of his shirt and she noticed his silver lip ring and the tiny silver stud in his left nostril. Those hadn't been there the last time she saw him. Then again, his hair had hung to the backs of his knees the last time she had seen him too.

He looked even better with the piercings and short hair. Normally demons avoided facial piercings. They were generally very hands on when they fought each other and something like that had a nasty tendency to be torn off the one wearing it.

Kagome was sure no one was stupid enough to do that to Sesshomaru. Swift disembowelment wasn't worth what she was sure would be a nano second of satisfaction.

His aura was off. Despite his outward appearance, he seemed furious. And seemed to be growing even more so by the second.

"Can I get you something to drink?" She rushed from the room, hoping that he would calm down before she returned to the room. In the years she had known Inuyasha's oldest brother, she had never seen or felt him that mad.

She was far from being a coward, but she could feel her powers rising to push against his. It was a reflex. She was able to control it, but his powers made hers seem like nothing, and knew it would only serve to make him angrier. An agitated miko in a small apartment with a livid taiyoukai was more trouble than Kagome was looking for.

She pulled out a can of Sprite and a bottle of water from the fridge and sat them on the counter. She slumped against it and took a deep breath. Sesshomaru had always made her nervous. Part of it was his lethal aura. He had been a warlord in feudal Japan and his blood lust was the stuff of legends. He was probably more powerful than his father and that was scary.

And that was when he wasn't pissed.

It certainly figured that this would happen today. First, her friend had blown her off when they were supposed to go out for lunch, then Inuyasha didn't show up. Now she had a furious, but very attractive man sitting on her couch, who thought humans were scum.

What a wonderful day!

"Sorry I don't have anything, but water and Sprite." She breezed back into the room and saw the youkai flipping through the channels.

It had to be a man thing. Them and their fucking obsession with changing the channels.

"Look, I don't know when Inuyasha will be home, so…"

"This Sesshomaru is comfortable where he is and desires the Sprite."

He didn't even look at her when he said it. And he always referred to himself in third person. He was so arrogant and haughty; it set Kagome's teeth on edge.

Without a thought, she opened the can for him. Inuyasha always had a hard time maneuvering his clawed fingernails under the tab to open cans. He usually ended up puncturing the can with soda covering him.

She sat it on the table in front of Sesshomaru. She cried out in shock when a clawed hand grasped her chin. Her frightened blue eyes locked with irritated gold ones. "I am not Inuyasha, girl. You will do well to remember that."

It was the first time Sesshomaru had ever touched her. She really wished he hadn't. After he spoke those words, Kagome tried to stop her thoughts from going into the gutter and failed miserably.

She was sure she needed some help now. She was turned on by the youkai manhandling and threatening her. "I'm sorry. Please let me go." The instant his hand released her, she was off the couch like a rocket. "Excuse me." Her cheeks were flaming with embarrassment as she once again fled to the kitchen.

In her rush to get away from him, she failed to notice when his eyes widened at the scent of her desire. A smirk quirked his lips and he rose to his feet to follow her.

"You want me."

Her head snapped up as she faced him. She was too stunned to move. She shook her head in denial. She did find him attractive, but she didn't want every guy she thought was hot. Even if she did want them, that didn't mean she'd sleep with them.

His hand grabbed her chin as he crowded her against the counter. "Don't lie to me, bitch. I can smell when you do."  His lips ghosted over hers as his other hand skimmed along the bare skin near her knee. "I know he only fucks you when you're on your back. Inuyasha has always feared hurting the human girls he thinks he loves. He keeps sex boring, so neither he nor his youkai side enjoy it. He slakes his needs with women he cares nothing for, because he doesn't care if he gets too rough with them. I, of course, bare no such weakness."

His hand was now slowly working its way under Kagome's dress. His other hand was now on her waist. She shuddered as the heat of his lips and the cold metal of his lip ring brushed her neck. "You'd like him to get rough with you, wouldn't you, Kagome?" His hips pressed boldly against hers. "Or would you prefer it for it to be I that got rough with you?" He whispered in her ear.

She blushed at the feeling of his arousal straining against his pants and pressing against her stomach. Her hair shook as she denied his comment, even though the sound of his voice made her nipples tighten and her body quiver in delicious anticipation.

She couldn't do this. Especially not with him and not even with Inuyasha running around on her. Two wrongs didn't make a right. It wouldn't make her relationship with Inuyasha any better if she had sex with his much hated oldest brother. "No. You're wrong."

"Of course I am." His tongue traced a path from behind her ear down to the place where her dress wrapped around her slender neck and then down to her shoulder blade.

Kagome moaned breathlessly as one of his hands closed over a breast and the nails of the other hand skimmed against the skin of her inner thigh. She knew she should tell him no and shove him away.

Her hands clenched in his soft tresses to push him away. Kagome gasped when he pinched her nipple through her dress. Kagome groaned when his mouth suddenly clamped over hers and his tongue thrust into her mouth.

His kiss was hot and dominating. Inuyasha had never kissed her like this ever. He had never shown this kind of passion or fire.

That this was cold, emotionless Sesshomaru showing this desire for her and not the hot tempered hanyou really told Kagome how Inuyasha felt for her sexually.

Even if what Sesshomaru had told her was true. She still felt depressed by it.

Kagome kissed him back and pressed her body against his sinful hands. She had always had a secret desire for the youkai, but to have him touching her like this was better than she had always tried not to imagine.

His groan vibrated against her chest as he began to caress the area between her legs. The thin panties she wore hid very little from his seeking hand. "I'm going to fuck you so hard that you will never be with another man and not long for me." He broke the kiss long enough to pull the halter of her dress over her head.

"No!" She managed to find some self preservation and shoved him away from her. She was sure she wouldn't have been able to shove him away if he had expected her to. "For years, you have seldom spoken to me and when you have graced me with your speech, you have belittled me. Now, for whatever reason, you come here looking for Inuyasha and end up all over me. What's the deal, Sesshomaru?"

"I don't have to explain myself to you, human." His voice was cold as he regarded her in disbelief and some disgust. "You responded as well. You have your own share of the blame." He sneered.

"I know that!" She shouted. "I don't blame you. I kissed you back. I let you put your hands on me! I can't do that with you. I'm sorry. Please leave, Sesshomaru. I'll have Inuyasha call you."

"Thank you for the lovely evening, Kagome. It was educational, learning how badly my brother's woman wants me. I hope you continue to enjoy your boring sex with the faithless half breed."

"What the hell are you doing here, Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha walked into the kitchen, a bouquet of flowers in his hand, and studied the pair.

Kagome watched them and knew by the narrowing of Inuyasha's eyes that he could smell how aroused both of them have been.

"I was just leaving." Sesshomaru walked over to Inuyasha and patted his cheek with the hand that had been under Kagome's dress. "Don't be judgmental, half breed. I can smell that bitch on you. You know which one I'm talking about too." He whispered in Inuyasha's ear.

Kagome cocked her head to the side at his words. She was trying to understand their meaning as Sesshomaru left.

"Inuyasha." Kagome took a step toward him after she heard the door close.

Inuyasha threw the flowers to the tile, scattering petals across it. His hands grabbed Kagome by her bare shoulders and shook her. "How long have you been fucking Sesshomaru?"
