Chapter 45: The Demands of Instinct
Sesshoume shuddered. “I wish to be rid of him.”
“He’s gone, now,” Kagomaru reasoned. “Probably for good.”
“I can still smell him.”
“A bath?” he suggested. She curled her lip, and he wearily begged, “Tell me what you want me to do.”
The demoness grudgingly answered, “Replace it.”
Kagomaru blinked. “Replace… his scent?”
“Hnn.”
“With mine?” he checked, not wanting to presume. She nodded jerkily, and he tentatively pulled her close. To his amazement, she yielded easily, pressing against him in a silent plea. “I thought you didn’t want me.”
“I do not,” she confirmed.
“But you need this?”
“Apparently.”

I started reading clumsy back when you first started it. I can’t believe all these years later it’s finally getting some updated chapters. Good for you! Looking forward to them. 😉
