Chapter Ten
Catriona lowered her head, her eyes stinging with tears as she stared at the water she rested in. She had showed the servant how to add her bubbles to the water & the servant had done a good job. Catriona had made sure that a section of the bubbles floated specifically over her body so no one could see her naked flesh beneath the warm water. What is wrong with me? She asked herself as she slipped down further into the water, her chin now resting on the surface. I almost had it out with a voice in my head earlier... I'm losing it, I have to be. Nothing else explains this... She closed her eyes & ran her fingers through her hair that she had tied in a tight bun, resting on the back of her head so it wouldn't get wet.
She opened her eyes & her body tensed as her mind ran through the bas possibilities when a knock sounded at the door. "Catriona," a voice spoke through the door, muffled to the point she couldn't figure out who it was. "Is everything okay with you?"
"Everything's fine," she answered to the voice, lying about the truth. The truth was that right now she just wanted to be alone with her thoughts & the warm water that surrounded her.
"May I come in to speak with you?"
If possible, her body tensed more. "May I ask who is at the door?"
"Miroku," came the soft reply that made her body relax. "May I please come in?"
She thought it over for a moment, & even though she didn't want to see him because of her earlier thoughts, & the fact that he could be using this as an excuse to see her naked, it would be rude for her to turn him away after he had come to check on her. But with Sesshomaru & Inu Yasha being able to travel as fast as they could, & having left that morning to look for that bastard Naraku, she knew it would take too long for Sesshomaru to get back to her should she need him. Something like this would give Miroku enough time to have his way with her & not have to worry about her mate & Inu Yasha returning. She didn't know what she was thinking when she opened her mouth next. "Come on in Miroku. And be sure to shut the door behind yourself when you come in," were the words that came out of her mouth.
She looked up from the water as the door opened & Miroku walked in, shutting the door behind himself. "How is your head doing?" He asked, sitting on the edge of the bath. "Is it better than earlier?" His gaze was now resting in her eyes.
"Yes Miroku, it's much better than earlier," she answered. "Thank you for asking & thank you for taking care of me." She broke the gaze to look ahead at the bubbles that were floating on the water in front of her face. At least my private areas are covered from his eyes, she thought to herself.
"I was a little worried about you when you just jumped up from the bed, claiming to need this hot bath of yours," he said. "Did I do something to upset you in anyway?"
She wanted to tell him about the voice in her head that wasn't her own, but she knew she couldn't because he could take advantage of the opportunity; instead, she decided on saying. "No Miroku, you did nothing wrong. I just really needed this bath."
"Alright," he said. "I'm going to tell one of the servants to start on dinner so it can be ready by the time you're out of the bath. Okay?"
"Okay Miroku," she said as he rose to his feet & left the bath, leaving her by herself o rub her temple where the beginning of a new, small headache was settling in. She sighed & closed her eyes, wishing the day would just come to an end & Sesshomaru, along with Inu Yasha, could walk through the main doors of the castle with Isamu being held by one of them, or even between them. Just as long as they still came home with her baby with them.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
During dinner, there had been nothing between Catriona & Miroku but silence & the tension that was beginning to annoy her so. If Miroku noticed the thick tension, then he didn't say anything; just went through dinner with his eyes half-closed as if he were in a deep train of thought, something she knew she couldn't interrupt because of how dead to the world he was when he went into them. She also knew that if he was unwillingly brought out of them, it was hard for him to get back into them & he often got cranky that he couldn't finish his thoughts.
By the end of dinner, the tension was thicker from the voices coming together in Catriona's mind, telling her to take advantage of Miroku being there, but she had to resist. She couldn't let herself be with Miroku while Sesshomaru, her mate, was gone. This was the one temptation she knew she'd have to fight against.
When she had cleaned her plate completely of her food, she took her plate to the cooking area where the dishes were cleaned & left her plate with the servant there. From there, she took leave to her room, where she shut the door & walked out onto the balcony, leaning against the edge as she looked out over the lands, wondering how things were going with Sesshomaru & Inu Yasha; if they'd found any sign of the bastard yet.
During her thoughts, she didn't notice when the door to her room had opened & Miroku stepped in, or that he was approaching her from behind. She noticed his presence when his arms snaked around her waist, his body pressing against her own, sending a sudden wave of warmth through her; down to the place where her thighs met, making her shiver against him. She shivered once more when she felt his lips press to her neck in soft kisses trailing up to her earlobe where he nibbled, sending a chill to her spot again. "Miroku, you shouldn't be holding me... You know that if he smells you on me when he does return, you'll be killed," she whispered.
"You wouldn't let him harm me, would you Catriona?" He questioned in a whisper against her ear before he slowly rubbed his hand upwards, under the shirt she wore to cup her breast through her bra. "Would you?" He asked once more, biting down on the muscle in her neck, making her head go to the side, giving him access. "I'll take that as a 'no'," he whispered as he kissed along her neck, stopping to nibble where he bit down earlier.
"Miroku," she whimpered, her body craving for him, but in her mind, she knew she couldn't. This is wrong, she thought to herself as he lightly pinched her nipple through the bra. Sesshomaru knows I love him & I know he loves me, but I need him here now. Couldn't he have at least stayed until I woke up to see if I would be okay? Isamu isn't just his son... Catriona didn't know where he anger for Sesshomaru was coming from, but what she did know, was that Miroku was here right now for her. I understand that he would want to find our son as soon as possible, but doesn't he love me enough to think of how I might feel since I'm the one who gave birth to him & raised him on my own for the past three years? Sure Josh was there, but I made him promise to help only when needed & that wasn't often. Her thoughts stopped when she moaned as Miroku rubbed the nipple with the pad of his thumb, then lightly, with his thumb nail. "M-Miroku, we have to stop," she said as she bit her lip to hold back another moan. "You know Sesshomaru will kill you should he come home later tonight or anytime soon. He could be on his way home for all we know."
"But he's not here right now Catriona," Miroku said as he turned her to face him, his eyes boring into hers with such an intensity that it made her legs weaken beneath her. "He's not here right now, so you shouldn't have to stop yourself from being loved by someone who's willing to give you what you need."
"Miroku, I can't cheat on him like this... Not while he's out looking for my - our son." It was with those words of hers that she sighed.
"Catriona, I saw the look in your eyes earlier. That look was in your eyes because you were thinking of me, not him. I can tell the difference. Please Catriona, let me have you again. Please," he begged, his eyes begging as well.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I can't believe what I've done, she thought to herself as she snuggled close to Miroku's glistening body. her eyes were heavy, as was the smell of sex in the room. She'd let him have her, despite what she'd wanted, but at the same time, she'd wanted this as well. She couldn't explain her feelings. All she could do was feel guilty as she rested her head on Miroku's chest & closed her eyes, panting softly since they had only just finished.
"Miroku please, harder," Catriona begged, bringing her hips up to meet Miroku's own as he buried his cock in her once more. "Oh damn," she moaned as he began to thrust harder, his cock now pressing against her womb with each thrust of his hips. "Miroku!" She moaned loudly, her walls clenching around his cock as waves of pleasure rolled over her body, her nails dragging along the skin of his back; her legs wrapped around his waist to pull him in deeper.
Catriona's name escaped his mouth in a low moan as his seed spilled into her, his own release brought on by the clenching of her walls around his throbbing cock. When he came to rest on top of her, his breath coming in light pants, his hips jerked involuntarily as a result of the powerful orgasm.
Catriona brought her lips to his, kissing him as hungrily as she could, despite how tired her body now was.
She heard Miroku sigh & looked up at him to see the content look on his face; which was a slight goofy grin & a dazed look in his eyes. She wished she could see this sort of look on Sesshomaru's face after sex, but all she ever saw was the same bored look. Maybe he does care more for me than Sesshomaru, she thought to herself s she slowly fell asleep.
