Chapter 35

"I'm sorry Sakura."

In the midst of bliss, his voice vibrated her ear drums.

"I can't…"

She felt his heart beating fast, pounding against his chest, her chest. So strong, Sakura could sense its motion.

"I can't wait any more." He was pleading and she felt the same. The knot in the pit of her stomach tightened by each beat of his heart. Million things ran through her mind but all she could compose of was the look of his eyes and her reflection in them. Then when he ask, "Will you-" she replied with all the courage she had left before his question finished. Because she wanted too. Because she couldn't wait also. Sakura answered from the deeper chamber of her mind, her desire, her heart.

And that simple reply made Sasuke stop breathing. There was shock in his eyes. Frozen, Sasuke couldn't move. He dared not to. Because if he did, this beautiful dream would fly away. But the warmth of her made him aware.

Aware of her wrapped up in his arms. Their naked bodies tangled with each other. Aware of the tingling feel that sparked every cell of his skin where she touched. And the way her glistening pure green orbs staring into his, stripped him bare, more than the state he was in.

So soft, so gentle, when she reached up to cup his jaw, Sasuke exhaled harshly.

A smile shone on her lips. Lightly, she caressed his face and repeated her reply soundlessly, "Yes."

But Sasuke can hear it loud and clear. A moment of disbelief dissipated when she reached up to kiss him. It was light as feather but burned of fire.

Releasing him, she backed down, wanting to see his face again. But when his calloused fingers weaved through her hair, cupping the back of her head, Sakura smiled brighter into his feverous respond, a smoldering kiss.

The kiss was needy, thirsty of lust.

She locked her fingers deeper through his hair. Her thighs widened to let him closer. The contact of his pulsating members tightened the muscles of her stomach.

A deep moan escaped her throat awaken his mind.

"Sakura." He growled a forewarning. Painfully released her lips, he regretfully pushed her down. Sasuke searched for his breath, as his gaze darkened, telling her, she can stop him. She can push him away.

But when she leaned her head more the side and pulled his head down to her exposed neck. Her legs wrapped around his waist.

Sasuke lost it.

Completely lost it. This Angel, his angel started a fire that there was in no way he could put out. No sane mind could because she had given him permission to take her away, let him burn through the layers of her purity.

[...]

The light wind of summer night blowed gently and let the serene scent of blossom entered the room. The soft illumination of lunar highlighted the reddened hue on two loving bodies.

Such romantic atmosphere.

But even that couldn't release the tension that bound them from moving.

"Sakura...Are you alright?" He asked her again. Cupping her soft cheeks in his broad palms, Sakura was breathing hard, shaking under him.

"I-I…I'm okay."She didn't know what to tell him. Her body was heating up and she didn't know how to decipher the feeling biting away her womb. Electricity burned the nerves under every inch of her skin, from the back of her neck to the tip of her toes. It ran up her slender legs toward the center of her core where the moist tip of his member touched.

At her entrance, he stood still.

Slowly, he tried again. Moving his hip lightly, the throbbing head brushed, teased her tendered lips.

Slurring moans, her cries of pleasure matched the rhythm of his motion. "Ahhh…ahhh" Her toes curled tight. Knees bent and pressed against his sides.

Catching her lips between each moan, his thumbs brushed away the sweat on her temples, caressing her cheeks, he waited for her. Or rather, he was waiting for himself to calm down. Sasuke can feel his legs were jello and that his hands were clammy. Not from the amount of energy they had spend tumbling around, but the nervousness that was hitting his conscious.

Never would he thought that for him, who had bed hundreds of women, could experience such amateur anxiety. Then again, all was because of her. This Angel, this woman of his, the way she laid beneath him. How her body molded into his made him flustered, unable to be the suave heart-throb he was.

"Sasuke-kun…" His name rolled off her tongue deliciously.

At the second hazy emeralds met deep onyx. All hesitant thoughts escaped his mind. Acting by instinct, his hand sweep down to steady her waist. The other intertwined tightly with hers.

Throaty, he said, "It's the last time, I promise" Then his voice slipped, "It's the last time, I hurt you." And his lips crashed to hers.

In a swift motion of his hip, Sasuke broke through the last layer of her innocent.

The feeling of him entering her and a sudden pop made Sakura jumped. "Ah..." It wasn't a moan of pleasure but a stinging pain that quickly spread through her. Digging her nails into his skin, Sakura choked a cry into the kiss. Her eyes closed tightly from the discomfort, the strange feeling creeping around her lower navel.

Refraining from moving, even a millimeter, with one hand holding up her waist to steady her against him, Sasuke stayed still and savored her warmth, moist sultry warmth hugged his member tight.

"F-" Cursing quietly when he opened his eyes to the sight of Sakura, to the sight of tears trailing down her cheeks. Panic took away his cool. "Sakura? I-" He knew it hurt, but he never knew how much. Unable to find the right word to comfort the girl nor knowing how he should react. Sasuke didn't dare to move any deeper or less. Any movement he made would cause too much pain for her, waiting, he waited for her to adjust.

"I'm okay...it's...it's just...I didn't think it would hurt...this much…" Biting her lips, she pulled her hand back to wipe the tear from her eyes. "I'm sor-"

"No, I should be." He gingerly placed his forehead on hers. Blaming himself of how selfish he was, causing this much pain for his own hormonal release.

But Sakura reassured him with her eyes. Soft Emeralds smiled sweetly that she was alright.

"Sakura...Don't...spoil me." He admitted and she giggled. "Does it hurt? Alot…" He tested the water for permission.

"If you don't move…"

Well that would be problem.

"..." He looked at her like a lost puppy, whimpering for a treat.

Another giggle, she poked his nose then touched his lips.

"Sasuke-kun."

She ran her finger-tips up his cheek, then then down his collar bone, toward his chest where she felt him intake a deep breath of air before holding it.

"I'm yours." She said it again.

And Sasuke lost his sanity again.

No more words, action was better. Whispering sweet words to her ear, he told her to endure the pain. Just a bit, just for a bit then he will swept her mind clean, just like the way she did to his.

His tongue flicker her lobe. Sucking on it, he kissed his way back, behind her neck.

"Uhwah…" Lifting her head from the mattress, Sakura cried out as his hip began its naughty motion.

Clawing, leaving marks as she clung to his back.

"Ah..ah" Feeling the pain mixed with a new strange sensation of pleasure, Sakura couldn't breathe right.

His motion was slow and shallow. Nearing the edge of removing himself completely from her and yet maintaining a luscious connection.

Hand on her waist, he lifted her plump round bottom up to his level but still at bay. Her knees were shaking as his hot breath fanned her neck. Dripping, he could feel the burning liquid running down where they connected.

Slowly, his pacing picked up. Testing the water, he inched a bit deeper and the action earned him a throaty moan from the Angel.

"Uwah…" Her eyes clamped shut. A jolt of pleasurable pain constricted a bundle of her nerves. It was back. The weird prickly knot in her stomach was back.

Knees violently wobbled, back sharply curved. Her breasts softly shook.

Pink nipples teased his sight. Smirking, Sasuke enjoyed watching her squirmed under him. Thumb ran over the taunting tip of her rosy nub. He leaned down.

So soft, felt by his hand. So delicious, tasted by his tongue. Then he stopped pleasurable motion altogether. "Sakura… Sakura…" He teased. Sasuke sat up with her legs embracing his sides and feasted his eyes at sight of her exhausted body.

Throat too tight to cry out any sound, her chest rose in rapid motion as she tried to work her lungs again.

"Are you still in pain?" He leaned down to lick the rim of her ear lob. "Should I stop?" Obsidians closed with a smirk on his face when he felt her finger gripped his shoulder tightly, drawing blood from the tiny wound.

A gasp escaped his throat when she quietly said, "Fa-faster," into his shoulder. Clearly, it wasn't a response he expected.

Lifting his head, Sasuke was shock at the image of Sakura bitting her lips, her cheeks flushed red, deep deep red. His stomach churned with excitement. Complied, he did as he was told. Quickened the motion, the bed began to rock along with them.

"Ug...ugh...ahh…" Sakura couldn't contain her cries. Lost in his rhythm, each movement he made was rapture.

Drugged in ecstasy, Sasuke's face flushed. Mouth gapping wide, he moved his head to her shoulder. Licking, kissing, sucking, whatever he could do to distract his mind from exploding. Hand returned to her silky skin. He roamed about, groping her breast, teasing her nipples.

"Ah…Sasu-" Her womb twitched from his sudden wave of passionate touch. Infected by his excitement, her hands tugged hair, instructing him to go harder, faster.

In and out, in and out, his throbbing member hit her pleasurable spot with every stroke.

It was stronger, deeper. Sakura felt a pool of tension knotting, thrashing about, a whole different level for her to experience. The strange sensation of the connection they shared, heated up with pressure.

"-Sa-ah-sasu-ah…" His motions were mad. The friction between them burned.

Feeling his balls started to tighten, and the pressure was climbing up the scale, his shaft was harder than ever. The immensity was beginning to cluster more and more, it was exasperating. His pulse was racing. Forcing his body to stop from building up, but it failed because their stroke was unyielding. Rhythm unchanged from it rapid randomness. His fist tightened.

"Sakura…" He growled, "You're mine." His, she was all his. Sasuke could sense he was standing by the edge. Digging his palm under her sweet bottom, he pulled her closer to him. Letting him fell deeper into her. His hip quickened.

"Ah-ahhh-ah!" A flash of white light, a rush of ecstasy surged through her vein, pooled around her stomach and burst with explosion. Clamping her mouth over his shoulder, her eyes shut tight. Feet dug to the mattress, tiny toes curled.

'Damn it.' A sudden massive wave of pleasure triumphed over him when her wall tightened. His hip reactively buckled forward into her. With force, it spurted out uncontrollably, their combined juice ran down.

Throbbing and hot, she can feel him, all of him.

"Hah…Ha…" Sasuke took two long breaths. Spend, His lungs craved for air.

Limply, he layed there with Sakura's arms wrapped around his shoulder. Resting his head in to her neck, after a while, Sasuke turned on his back with his Angel toppled on his chest, afraid he would crush her.

As the exploding feat subsided, they lay there with the lingering sweetness tingling their skin. Brightness glowed from the uncluttered restrain. The chilliness of the room descended on their cooling body. Sasuke reached out his arm to pull the comforter over their bodies.

"Wow." Was all he could utter. There was a dictionary of words to describe their moment but when climax came, he had a vocabulary vault of a three-year old.

Blushing, sudden realization made Sakura hid her head away from his sight.

Sasuke couldn't stop smirking. Sheer contentment spread across his face. One arm under his head, the other stroke her back tenderly, trying to help the girl ease the pain. "Hey Sakura…" His teasing voice made her skin crawled.

"No." She panted. Her hand quickly came up to clamp his mouth from talking. "No." Her cheeks puffed up into a pout. Face still hidden from his view.

"Ah." He smirked and a chuckle escaped.

She read his mind. This angel could predict his actions, his words, his request for another loving session. Softly removing her hand, he squeezed it with gentle strength. His other hand moved up to massage her bare back.

"Well, then," He respond, "You can rest tonight Sa...ku...ra…" Her name stretched out. Then a whisper came out and made her skin shuddered, "Because you won't be from now on." Hinting, Sasuke gave the naive Angel a warning.

"Sasukeee-kunn." She whimpered her plead.

Another loud chuckle made Sakura lifted her head. Pouting, her eyes said, 'Pervie.'

Sasuke just shrugged and pulled her down for a kiss.

Within each other arms, they lightly kissed in tempo. Hearts were beating the same pace. Content, it was a sweet night.

A night, they both anticipated.

o-o-o

On his elbow, his palm propped his head up. Lying on the side, Sasuke observed as Sakura snoozed lightly, too worn out from all their activities in one evening. Cupping her face, his fingers entwined her hair, blossom colored his fingertips.

'Hn.' He closed his eyes to recall the previous moment. Surreal, his body felt like air. Leaning down to give her a kiss on the cheek, about to join Sakura in dreamland but the sound of his door slid opened made him looked up in surprise, asking what was on the other side of the screen wall?

There was shuffling of the feet and 'female giggles?'

Sensing Sakura's legs shifted and her hand tightened around his waist, Sasuke looked down to see Sakura's bewildering orbs, widened to ask him what was going on. A shrug of his shoulders, a few shake of his head, he innocently returned her pouting gaze saying he had no idea.

The steps were getting closer. Quickly with minimal sound, he pulled Sakura closer to his side and flung the comforter over them. His leg bent up to cover her tiny frame and his sudden standing excitement, returned from the Angel's bold touch.

Sasuke calmly fixed his position as the intruding guests showed up from the side. The messy blanket made it looked as if he just woken up from their invasion. Lifted his eyes, there was one, two, three, … ten maids with exceptional features standing before him. Cladding only in a thin sheer robe, they were bare underneath.

"Master…Sasuke." In harmony, they bowed their heads.

"What are you doing here…" It was obvious and it got the elders' name written all over. The sight disgusted Sasuke. He could tell they were actually willing to perform the order, shamelessly standing there before him.

"Please, do whatever you would like to us." They said it with a hint of thrill in their voice. "We'll comply to all of your requests until you are satisfy."

Sasuke sensed Sakura tensing up next to him. He felt her hand moved up to clamp her mouth from making a squeak. A smirk grazed on his lips wondering what was streaming thru her mind at that instant.

"No need." He nonchalantly replied. His eyes looked up in the direction of Sakura's supposed room, where she should be asleep peacefully.

"Don't worry." Persistence they were, they implied she would know nothing of their encounter. One by one, they began to undo their robes. "We are your servants. Please let us serve you." They looked up to see Sasuke fidgeting in his seat and thinking that their bareness was affecting him. Who wouldn't, any male with raging hormone would jump them already. However, it actually was Sakura's hand clutching around his thigh that made his body jumped. He didn't even look at them. All that time, Sasuke had his gaze focused on Sakura's robe that was thrown on the chair. None of them seem to notice that.

Suddenly, his hand grabbed the hem of the comforter on his marvelous body. Assuming that it was approval from him, they stepped closer to the bed. But when Sasuke flung off the top part of the cover, their faces paled.

"But I don't think my girlfriend would like the extra companies."

The sight of the pinkette bare from her shoulder made them all mortified. In their eyes, her hand was in the position between his legs from the standing angle.

Shyly, she couldn't look at any of them. They were nude with nothing on. Her head turned to hide against his chest, no idea what to response. She was as shock as they were. "Uh…" Rapidly recoiled her hand from his thigh, Sakura sat up and bundled the fabric to cover her generous body. Her face cringed from the stinging pain of her womb. That didn't go by unnoticed.

Having enough,"Out." Dark, his menace voice, hazarded with anger, ordered the shameless bodies out of the room. Clumsily backing away, they stumbled out after gathering the flimsy garments.

"They're gone." All was silent again. A huff escaped. Sasuke ruffled his hair in frustration. He doubt it if they dared to come again. The thought of what would happen if Sakura didn't come to his room zoomed thru his mind. Who could be sent to her room?

The girl in his arms shook like a broken machine. 'Everytime… everytime…' Again, it happened. When they stayed out, something ought to happen.

A pang of guilt cut through his chest. She shouldn't see that. Not when they were supposed to be at peace, huddled in each other warmth after their first-"..." He realized.

"Can you walk Sakura?" Sasuke asked suddenly. Her hands pushed against his chest. Gazing up, Sakura was shocked to see his face darkened. Seriousness covered his expression.

"Huh?" Couldn't register his question in time, Sakura was more confused when Sasuke jumped off the bed to put on his original clothes that hung nearby. When done, he grabbed her robe and gently covered her body before wrapping her up with the surrounding covers, keeping her from the cold.

"We're leaving." Was all he said, after gathering their stuff.

Quickly, they left the manor in the midst of the night without an ounce of hesitancy.

o-o-o

"Sasuke-kun. I can walk." She waved her hand at him when he opened the door for her. To proof it, she took a strong step out of the car and regretted it the second a shocking bolt of pain ran up her spine. "O-ow." And down on her knees, she stayed.

Narrowing his eyes, Sasuke bend down and easily picked the girl up in his arm. Quietly, they rode the elevator in silent.

'Oh no...I cause Sasuke-kun troubles again.' She whimpered into his embrace.

But Sasuke took her silence as his fault. He caused her pain, physically, and emotionally, his insensitivity to her.

The hallway light cut off as the door clicked shut. Their home, dark and cold, slowly welcomed its owner home with the auto light gradually lit up. But the central unit maintained the temperature low. He purposely programmed it, so that she would cling closer to him at night.

[...]

Steamed fogged the mirrors lined on the wall. Forgotten layered of white sheets spread across the tile floor.

"Sasuke-kun…" Much more relaxed, she mewed a soft moan. "Thank you." Her hand raised from the water to stroke his jaw. Emeralds smiled at his gentle act.

"Sakura. I'm sorry."

His voice was rough, mixed with the running water of the tub, echoed lightly. Sitting by the edge, his palms cupped her face.

"Hm?" Confused, she didn't understand why he would apologize. "What for?" The water was fine.

"For everything." He leaned in. Their noses touched. "For everything, I've done to you." From the moment they meet, he had manipulated her, persuaded her pure mind to be his. "Sakura, I don't deserv-" His lips locked by her finger.

"Mhm…" She shook her head. "Don't…" She hushed him from talking, then weaved her hand around his head to place her ruby lips on his.

I, too, am guilty.

o-o-o

A gentle morning, the sun had not yet risen. The horizon was a valid hue of soft pastel.

The manor had already started up and began a new day. Feet scurried along the hallways. Hands carried basins of fresh warm water, towels, and a parcel that was sent at the tip of dawn.

[...]

Pausing, his brush floated in mid-air. The Fourth glanced to the side to see the bottom hem of the Third's kimono.

She spoke, "I hope you know. Your so called 'grand-daughter' left last night." Her voice mocked. "The guards reported she left all wrapped up with a single sheet and carried out by Sasuke." She held up her sleeve to cover her lips. "Is that how a proper lady from the Tsuru family should act?"

"Hmp." He could care less of their opinion. "So? Are they not a couple?" He continue writing. "I'm sure...they didn't leave without a reason." Their aging eyes met briefly and the Third was appalled.

"Hmp. What ever the reason. We do not accept such ill mannered act." She scoffed.

"Well then." Finished writing, the fourth straighten up, "I'm sure it is only a misunderstand." He rolled up the scroll and handed it to the Third. "It should not happen again." And it meant that. He knew. The Fourth weren't blind.

Clutching the scroll, the third spun around and left.

In the court yard, forgotten in the burning incense, the scroll with the perfectly written calligraphy burned slowly. The word infidelity turned in to ash.

o-o-o

Awake, watching, Sasuke propped on his elbow with the other hand on her waist, lazily laid there and gazing at his angel as she was snoozing lightly, still deep asleep.

Time was ticking and he knew that he needed to get up soon. But a few extra minutes wouldn't hurt. A thought of amusement popped in his mind. Knowing the routine of the manor, a group of maids would soon to show up at his door.

He silently smirked, wondering what their expression could be.

Carefully untangled his legs from hers. Sasuke half-heartedly crawled out of the bed after he placed a kiss on her cheek. Not wanting to leave the girl alone before she woke up. However, she needed rest and his duty was calling.

Pulling the cover over the girl, he headed toward the bathroom.

A sneeze suddenly came from under the blanket. Sasuke turned to see Sakura stirred and slowly raised herself up.

"Sasuke-kun?" Her voice meekly called out to him. Rubbing the sand from her eyes, she asked, "You're getting ready to leave now?"

"Hn."

"Let me make you breakfast."

About to get out, Sakura was stopped by Sasuke hands on her shoulders, pushing her back down.

"Don't, rest. I'll see you tonight."

"Uhm…" She smiled.

o-o-o

Ding.

Stepping out of the elevator, Sasuke loosened the tight tie around his collar. The time was six thirty in the morning and he was ready to meet the representatives from the government. All the dilemmas would be settled and finalized. He was fed up with changes that sprouted up every week. As if with purpose that they picked on him, Sasuke acted professionally to deal with these scumbags. He couldn't wait to be done with them. And the result? It would shake the market as a whole. This shall be the last significant achievement that the Uchiha would get. After this, all would be going downhill, starting from the top.

It was still too early for the rest of the staff to be at the office. Except for those specifically ordered to come, the rest probably had just woken up.

Sasuke solemnly walked through the entrance with a blank expression on his face. Straight to his room, Taki was waiting with a cup of coffee and a stack of newspaper by the door.

"Good morning, Uchiha-san." He bowed. Surprised, Taki thought the raven would pick up his usual coffee cup. Though, he didn't seem to need it. Sasuke was glowing with halo. 'Something good must happened last night.' Poor Taki had no idea.

"Hn." Taking the newspaper, Sasuke glanced by the pages. "Nothing…" The front page was clear of last night's scandalous details at the Ancestor Manor.

A chuckle, it was expected. They absolutely would not allow anything to disclose and mar their reputation. Settling it down, he picked up the coffee cup and proceeded to the conference room.

A push, the heavy French door gallantly opened. Sasuke with charismatic posture, entered the room. All heads turned his direction and with a nod, he greeted them with a monotonous expression.

The meeting to tear down the Goka village began.

[...]

On the other side of the city, unrest anger disturbed the silent.

"What have you been doing? They're giving him total command today?" Angry, Orochimaru's face twisted with revulsion. The little Uchiha brat was going to ruin their plan.

Two years ago, he had encouraged the Uchiha monarch to take up the project, then persuade him so it would be left in the hands of his second son. He expected the kid to fail and make a total humiliating feat. Then he could step as a guiding light to the poor soul and help carry out the project, especially with its massive monetary value. Everything would have been taken well care of, detail by detail.

But, that imbecile child wouldn't stay in his place and play the clueless little lamb. He had to make decisive action and keep external force out.

"Don't worry." Kankuro gave a wide smirk. "Everything is going accordingly." To his plan. "As long as they sign the doctrine…" And the seal was in place, what ever 'accident' that would happen in the future would be inevitable.

o-o-o [at the same time] o-o-o

Too late at night, too early for morning, the sun was still a quarter away. London tower clock, Big Ben, shook the silent with it powerful strike, marking the time with each chime.

Booong. Booong. Booong. Booong. Boo…

Exhausting her lungs, Kurenai was out of time. Fleeting feet dashed through the night. She had to get away. They had caught on. Her path was crossed and she barely escaped. Her life of an ex-spy deemed troublesome. Why didn't she settled somewhere in the mountain and knit?

Not even bother to pick up her luggage, she just head straight for safety. The envelope in her hand must be delivered. The distanced shuffling of the feet made her senses sharpened. They were coming closer in groups.

Darting around, she made a quick escape into the dark alley. Pressing her body against the wall, holding her breath, she watched as a couple men in slack ran right passed and a few slipped by in front her into the alley. She couldn't breath. It was so close. They were barely a foot from her hiding spot. The stench of the trash clouded up her perfume. 'Amateur,' she thought after waited for a while until they were definitely gone. Stepping away from the wall, Kurenai dusted her back and made a face about the horrid scent covering her form. A shower, it was needed after this.

Scanning the perimeter, checking for the envelope's security in her shirt, she ran down the opposite way and took a flight into the direction of dawn.

o-o-o

"Like the dress? Not too tight?" Ino's ringing voice chimed over the speaker.

"Uhh..." Phone between her shoulder and ear, Sakura sat up on the bed. Hadn't move since Sasuke's left. She just woke up when Ino rang her phone.

"What do you mean 'uh...'?"

"Uh…I didn't get a chance to see the dress. We didn't stay all night…" She whispered through the last part.

"You guys went home? Seriously, Sakura. I stayed up til two to put your attires together." Technically it wasn't the only thing she was doing. A spike head someone was interrupting her work but no one needs to know that. "Is it because they made you guys sleep separately and the Horny King couldn't take it and rushed you home?"

Blush. Sakura was beet red. "We did … at first," she quietly mumbled. "Then…well, I snuck into his room..."

"You go girl! I know I taught you great things." Proud of the pinkette, Ino screamed in excitement. Her roar almost caused Sakura to drop the phone.

"I-ino!" Embarrassed, Sakura flustered. Her free arm flailed around, trying to release the frustration of misunderstanding.

"Heh…of course. You guys were just … innocently sleeping…" Ino paused, and then started, "Right. Just sleeping, right?"

Somehow, the long silent from the other line said a different story.

"Sakura! I'm coming for you right NOW!"

[...]

Car parked, Hinata captured. Ino pulled the poor girl into the elevator with her.

"Ino-chan...I have to study for my exam…" Hinata plead to return. But when Ino pulled her ear to whisper the reason of her kidnap, Hinata shoved the notes back into her bag and toughened up. Though, her face was red as a tomato.

"Sakura needs us!"

"Uhm!"

The both marched to the door of their destination. The doorbell rang. About to rush in and comfort the girl, both Ino and Hinata faced a much more dilemmatic scene.

"I-Ino chan...It won't fit…" Sakura stood in front of them. One hand on her chest to keep the collar together. The other tried to pull up the zipper behind her. The new dress, or any body-con style dress that Ino personally tailored to Sakura's body didn't fit.

[...]

"No. By all means, have it done as soon as possible." Gripping the phone by his ear, Sasuke returned home after a long working day. Putting his hand on the scanner, he opened the door easily. Easing his body into the homey warmth, Sasuke slipped out of his shoes.

"Welcome home Sasuke-kun!" Sakura's voice sweetly chirmed at the same time he wondered about her location. Walking to the kitchen, he found the girl greeted him halfway in her loosely green dress and pink apron.

"Hn." He gave her a court smirkish-smile and walked to the sofa to sit down. Sakura watched the heaviness of his motion. It told her how tired he was after returning from work. Walking up behind him, her stomach pressed against the back of the sofa and her hand settled on his shoulders. Sasuke froze for a moment from her surprised touch.

Feeling her hands fumbling around, her fingertips tapping nervously on his shoulders, Sasuke had no idea what she was doing until he felt a slight pleasing pain of his aching muscle. A sweet massage, it was all he need to re-energize his depleted form. Her tiny palms were rubbing his neck to smooth out the tension. Bending over to sign paper all day built up a lot of strain in his muscle. So much lighter now, his body was well replenish.

"Are you feeling better?" Sakura quietly asked from behind. The only response she received were his nods and a mumbling hn. Sasuke was too in daze.

It felt amazing.

Well, anytime she touched him would feel wonderful.

"Busy day?"

"Hn."

Their little moment lasted for a while until Sakura felt Sasuke's hands on hers. He pulled her down and intertwined their fingers. Plump cheeks were buried in his neck. Sakura muffled, "What's wrong?" into his neck.

He said as his calloused hand massaged hers, "That's good enough." Too long would hurt her fingers. Sasuke brought her hands to his lips and delicately kissed it. "Thank you." His warm voice was low and hoarse. It made her body float to hear the appreciated word.

"Hee…you're welcome." She tightened her embrace and snuggled her face deeper. The slight drizzled rain that started when he walked to his car earlier had left a fresh scent on his hair. Wanting to stay like that longer, she was confused when he removed her arms and lifted to the other side. She gasped as he turned a little around and pulled her completely over the sofa, into his lap.

"Well then…" and he closed in. Puckering his lips, Sasuke immediately attacked her neck.

"S-sasuke…" Squirming in his arms, Sakura felt ticklish by his playful smooches. "W-wai-ah!" Icy, his hand was cold against her stomach.

"Hn." He simply needed a place for warmth. Her scorching skin was perfect. So soft, such silky smoothness felt by his rough hand. Sasuke roamed her stomach and rib. Lifting the dress in the process but Sakura didn't give in. She refused to let him strip her bare and moaned out a protest when he sucked on her ear.

"…St-top…" Struggle to be free from his hold. Sakura was arousing him with every movement she made. "D-Don't. Shower...go shower." She reminded him of his usual routine.

"Take it with me." He murmured against her chin and found his way to her lips. A whole day, a long twelve-hour time since he had touched these lips. Their previous night kept running through his mind.

"I-I can't. I have to...uhm. Dinner..." Nevertheless, she mimicked his lips' action. But the back of her mind was conscious, extremely conscious of her body. She wanted to ask him something but Sasuke was making it a hard task.

"So?" Kiss. Subtly sucking, he nibbled lightly on her lower lip.

Pleasure ringed her spine. Arching her back, her chest pushed to his. "O-ooh…" Wonderful touch was erasing her thought. Sasuke loosened his hold of her wrists and flung it on his neck before wrapping both hands around her bare waist.

"Uuuuuuhhhmm…" Sakura let out a long mewing moan and Sasuke cursed in his head, damn his hormonal self and her delightful voice.

All of a sudden, Sakura woke up from her blissful daze with widened emeralds. "Stop!" She softly smacked his face then quickly covered her opened mouth.

"Hn." Stun, Sasuke bent his neck and closed his eyes before heaving a long breath.

Sakura closed her eyes tight. "I…Uh…um…" This was awkward. Slowly she backed away.

"Where do you think your going?" His hand reached out to siege her elbow.

"Finish making dinner…?" Coiled her head away, Sasuke's cloudy eyes looked as if he would jump at her any second.

And that was what the troubled raven had been trying to refrain from doing. This feeling was worst than the stress from work. Grunting, he pulled her back stumbling to him.

"What's wrong Sakura?" Why was she acting so? Should she be sweep into his arm and they both find their way into the bedroom for another rumpus session.

"Saasuu-ke-kun..." She squirmed as his fingers ran up her back. Ravenous hands were tracing her outline. From her shoulders to her plump cheeks, he gave her a suggestive squeeze. "Don't…Please stop…" She squirmed away from him.

After a while as the girl struggled, he stopped. "Hn." Pulling his hands out, he lifted them away. Slowly, his face moved closer to her. Sakura squeezed her eyes shut and held her breath. "Alright," he coolly said. His hand played with the bundle of pink tresses by her ear. Her skin instantly shivered up by his touch. "I'll just go take my shower." Then Sasuke stood up and walked straight to the shower.

"Hah." Sakura finally breathed out a relief sigh. Though, when emerald opened to the emptiness scene of the living room, her chest somehow felt tighten. "Oh," She slumped into the sofa. 'Oh…I made him mad...'

[...]

Dinner passed without a major scene. Cleaning up, Sakura stood at the sink area and stowed away the dishes.

Secretly, she had been stealing glances at Sasuke. Seeing an indifferent attitude surrounding him since after his shower puzzled her. Now, he was just sitting there with his drink, unusually quiet than usual.

"Need a hand."

"Oh!" Almost dropped the plate in hand, she was startled by his sudden appearance behind her. "S-sure…" She gave him the rest of the plates to put away then awkwardly scooted aside to clean off the counter that she already had cleaned twice.

Burning, her skin was on fire when they touched. Unknown of the reason why, Sakura was mystified since Sasuke was being too well behave.

[…]

"Sure I can take you and I'll pick you up at…" He paused for a moment to calculate the time. "Six." Been asked to drive her to Ino's shop in the morning, Sasuke also agreed to triple date with the other two couples. Still with the apathetic tone, he casually flipped the page and read the document in hand diligently.

"Uhm." She nodded her head.

Strange, it was strange. It was really strange.

Sitting closely, with a book in hand, she joined Sasuke on the sofa for a leisure reading time. Testing, Sakura suddenly crawled closer to his seat. Still, there was no initiative from him. Frowning, he hadn't paid a heed of attention. He wasn't completely ignoring her of but there was a sense of distances between them. Even when her dress straps 'accidentally' fell down from her shoulders, he didn't even look or say a word.

Biting her lip, Sakura tried again. Suddenly on the move, she just turned around and laid her head on his lap to use it as a headrest like the other times.

"?" Pulling his focus from the text, Sasuke stopped when the pink head settled on his thigh. Glancing down, he found Sakura scurry to hide behind her book. Using the other hand, he gave her head a pat and done. Sasuke did nothing else.

And that was what disturbing her.

[…]

Reaching the last page, he finally finished. Throwing the folder aside, he massaged his temple to soothe the pain away. Opened his eyes, Sasuke looked at the sleeping form weighing down his thigh.

She lay completely still. The book had slipped from her hand and fell on the side. Sereneness adorned her calm visual. Her pink tresses covered his thigh with a soft touch.

Passive eyes trailed down every contour of her feature. Sasuke hovered his hand over her plump cheeks, brushed his fingers across her sweet lips. Sakura was deep asleep.

Well. She appeared to be asleep.

If Sasuke hadn't remove his hand, Sakura would explode. Been holding back, she faked asleep to see how he would react. So far, no success. Her little bubble burst when Sasuke lifted her form and retired away to their room. He placed her softly on her side of the bed and settled in his spot.

Sleeping, the room was dull silent. The cladding sound of the raindrops hitting the window was not enough to drown out the awkward soundless.

[caw caw caw]

Unable to take it anymore, Sakura shot up from her spot. "Waaah!" She flung the cover away and turned to Sasuke, "Aah!" only to be surprised to see him lying on his side, propping his head up by the elbow as if waiting for her to blown the cover.

"Hey." His smirks, the eyes, the poise, and the tone of voice clearly said 'I know you fake it.'

"Sasuke-kun!?"

"Sakura, you move around and make weird noises when you're asleep." She surely didn't do any of that. "So?" He questioned her motive.

Upset with his reaction, "I don't know what you mean." She avoided his gaze and the answer all together. Grabbing the sheet, she pulled it over and protectively curled back into her spot.

Irritated, he grabbed the other end of the sheet and pulled it up. "Sakura." This was as far as he could take. This Angel was drilling his mind mad.

Tugging the sheet and throw it to ground. Sakura was left vulnerable on the bed. On his knees and hands, Sasuke crawled over her tiny form and and turned her to face him. Then paused when emeralds glistened with tears.

"Why are crying when you hid from my touch earlier" His voice was drunken her senses. "Sakura, what did I do?" Panic. He immediately took the wrong impression. What did he do wrong?

"Sas-uke-kun-n…I…" It was hard to answer. She didn't know how to put it in word. Her hands reached up to embrace his neck gently.

Her reply, again, never came out the way he expected.

"You noticed I gained weight and you don't want me anymore." She blurted.

"What?!" Bewildered orbs was knocked from his sanity.

Covering her crying eyes, Sakura recalled the event earlier that day when she got out of bed and attempted to put on a dress that was meant to be worn that day. It was redelivered to them from the manor.

But as much as she struggled, the poor girl couldn't pull up the zipper, "And Ino…" Her rampling escaped his ears.

'Ino.' That wretched woman. Must she always planted outrageous thoughts.

A flick on her forehead, Sasuke made the girl pout.

"Sakura…" He hung his head on her forehead to ease the pain. "I never notice such thing."

"T-then...then why…" She muttered. Why did he avoid her?

"I was afraid…" He breathed out the words. Pulling his neck away, he looked at her with intensity. "I thought because of last night. After a day of thinking, you..."

'Afraid?' Emerald widened. Sakura frantically shook her head and pulled Sasuke back. "No. No. No…" She repeatedly chanted. "That wasn't it." She held his face with her palms.

"I see…" His head hung. His voice lowered. He was glad. he was glad they finally was able to sort through this...this...Couple quarrel? The annoying kind that he often found himself stuck in the middle of when the idiots did something wrong, said something wrong.

"Last night…Last night…" Her shoulders shrugged to hide her neck. "Last night was … wonderful." She confessed to him. It was a boost to his pride.

"Ah." He was greatly satisfied with her answer. Only to be fair, he informed her, "And what to come would be more amazing." His strong build arms hugged her tiny frame tightly. "I haven't even show you…" Everything, all that he got to offer.

"Not even…?" She asked him what was more to come.

Lifting her chin up to look at her orbs, Sasuke found dazzling emeralds returned his gaze. A smirk, he told her, "Yes. Sakura, there're so much. You'll be amazed what more we can do. One you're familiar with these senses. I promise you, the only word you'll say-scream is my name when you come..." Sasuke was delighted to feel Sakura's reaction. Her whole body just jerked in surprise once he ended his sentence.

"Don't say that…" Embarrassed, she pushed his face away.

"It's only the truth." His relaxing voice was too calm. "And to start." Sasuke bent further to whisper into her ears. "Instead of saying no, breathe yes."

Her spine shivered up. Sakura felt a sudden chill rushing through her body.

He continued, "Replace don't with do it."

Sakura couldn't take it much longer. Her hands found his and clutched them tightly to show her tenseness. Even after the talk, she couldn't. Even when Sasuke hadn't done anything, she was still anxious. Crazy, her mind was soon going insane.

"Say keeps going. Not stop." His whisper became rougher. He was painfully aroused and she was just a tint behind. "Don't tell me to wait. Ask me to hurry up, go faster." A kiss placed on her cheek to indicate the end. "Just like you did last night." He smirked.

Crimson hue flushed her face red.

Liking her reaction, he wrapped her arm around his waist then pulled her closer to his chest. Gingerly kissing her lips, he groaned in bliss. Her fingers re-actively slither up to weave through his hair and encourage his kiss.

"Sakura," he growled from suffering for so long. Four hours since he arrived home was too long to bear. Added all the time before, it was torture.

"Sasuke-kun … Your… it's …" Growing, she felt his hard length gradually increase its side.

"I can't help it…" Sasuke agonizingly shifted his body so that she could be more relaxed. "Do you know? Just thinking of you was enough to arouse me… Sakura. I can't control it. I don't care of those minimal details."

She pouted and hid her face to under his chin.

"You had to be cute and moan like that into my ear."

"It was instinctive. You …" She bit her lips and didn't say another word. This was going in endless circles. For the few rare times, Sakura had no comeback. She just dug her face deeper to his neck, tickling the sensitive skin with her frantic breath.

"Sure, and you think that I care about a little weight you put on." Teasing, Sasuke opened her legs to wrap around him, pull her body closer to his. He trapped her in a leg lock. His smirk was wider when Sakura caught the sight of his member by her entrance. His index finger trailed down her back slowly, tracing the spine. Such intimate action made the poor girl to whimper and sharply curve her back.

"No. I don't feel anything different." Nothing but the softness. He slipped his hand under her nightgown and dragged it up on her bare skin.

"Uhmm…" Not a no nor a yes, Sakura squirmed in his embrace. Everywhere he touch was inciting her nerve. Reawaken the latent sense that was ignited by him.

"Here?" He connected their lips to remind her. Starting with an air touch, their lips tugged one another slowly. Then intensity built up. From tugging came sucking, biting. They were drunk without a drop of alcohol, intoxicated in each other inimitable tang. Bodies slithered up and down with rhythm. Sensual motion set their mind on hold. If air were not needed, they'd keep on kissing for minutes, for hours, endless of time until their jaws gave out.

Chu.

Forcing to part for a moment, Sasuke released her lips to gaze lustily into her half-lid eyes. "Here?" His husky voice was luring her. His hands slipped under her dress, resting on her breast.

Emerald tiredly blinked. She groaned as the waves of pleasure swept through her. "Yes." Insentience,she breathed out her response. "Won't... fit…" She barely formed sentence.

Excited with her answer, in fleeting seconds, Sasuke immediately sat up and kneeled with Sakura on her back between his thighs.

Quickly pulled his shirt over his chisel torso, his muscle flexed with each motion he moved. Paused to catch his breath, obsidian took a moment to admire the Angel beneath him. The way she lay there with yearning eyes, chest heaving intensely, curving back showed off her ample mounds mesmerized him.

"Well then, we have to do something about it." Suddenly, Sasuke reach down to grab her hands. The instant she sat up and Sasuke was on his butt. They hastily were pulling, tugging each other. Not waiting for another ticking second to pass, they stripped the irritating article free from their clammy skins. Discarding it to the background, the heat of their bodies still burned like wild fire.

"Oh … Sasuke-kun." On her back again, legs spread, Sakura twisted and turned as Sasuke hungrily devoured her soft plump flesh. Digging her toes into the mattress, lifting her hips from curving her back harshly, her nails clawed his broad back when his naughty lips clamped down her tight tip and his fingers rolled the other.

"Oooaahhh…Oooooahhh!"

There, that was it, that cry of mind numbing pleasure. His ear rang pleasingly from knowing that she was being consumed by ecstasy.

Licks after sucks, he alternated between the erected tips and took turns satisfying both. One hand reached up to cup her flushed visage gently, the other slipped down to her thigh. Skipping his way to her knee, he lifted it up. How delicate, how slender her leg was. His whole hand wrapped around the smooth limb.

"Uh-wah!" Thrashing her head, she tugged his hair with force. Half-cheering, half-stopping, poor Sakura needed some rest for air but she couldn't. So close, she craved for release.

Leaving her tip with a pop, Sasuke kissed his way up her neck. Chuckled from the protesting tugged, he knew she didn't want him to stop.

"Sas-sasuke-ku-un…"

"Shhh…" He hushed her with kiss by the shoulder. Smoothly, in fluid movement, using his free hand as support, Sasuke slithered his body upward.

"Oh!" Sakura trembled by contact of their heats. His standing length brushed up her inner thigh and rested by her engorged, drenched wet lips.

"Sakura…" His haunting voice taunted at the realization. "Sa. Ku. Ra… What do we have here…" So wet, he shuddered at the feel of the intimacy. Putting her leg over to wrap his waist, his other hand joined the one by her head as Sakura voluntarily embraced him tighter, locking her ankles by his buttock.

"Don't tease," she pouted. Running her hands up and down his neck, she smiled from hearing his quiet uneven breaths. Sasuke smirked against her neck. Careful not to crush her tiny frame, he kept balance on his elbows. So soothing, they just wanted to stay like that.

So big, his broad shoulders felt so relaxed. Sakura forgot all the awkwardness and just enjoyed the easing feel of them meshed together. Hearts were beating together. Their breathings matched impeccably.

[…]

"You're not asleep, are you?" Sasuke suddenly asked. He nuzzled his head deeper into her pink head. Blossom sweetness filled up his senses.

"Mmmh…," she responded weakly, murmured against his skin. Her fingers moved up to his shoulders and massaged his neck. Tightened her legs around him, Sakura let him know that she was still, indeed, awake.

"Hn." Sloping to the side on his back, he pulled the girl over his chest. "But my arms' asleep," explained when she whimpered from the sudden change of position. A jolt of static sparked. Sasuke shifted his body a bit to let Sakura lay comfortably on him.

"Hee. Move them like this." She grabbed his arms and flapped it on the bed. "The blood will rush to your hands."

"I don't think that's the only part where the blood will rush to." He escaped her hands to grab her waist and pull it down to meet his standing, waving staff.

"Oh!" Surprised, somehow it changed size each time she touched it. Bigger than the last. Squirming her hips, she pouted, "You said your arms' asleep…" His strong grip was firm.

"Hn." He ignored that comment.

"Pervie." She slapped his chest playfully.

"You like it."

"No I don't." She looked to the side.

"Sure…Don't lie, Sakura…" A devious grin, his hands traveled up to cup her face. Leaning up, he pulled her head closer for a bruising kiss.

Holding on to his shoulders, Sakura drew her body forward to deepen their kiss. Lean thighs hugged his sides, her knees came up to rest by his ribs.

"Uhmm…" So fast, so powerful, his movement overwhelmed her motion. Couldn't keep up, Sakura yank her head away for a break.

In bliss, Sasuke faintly fell back on the mattress. He looked so lost from missing her touch. Raven head laid there in daze with half-lidded eyes, wondering oh where hath his Angel gone to.

"Hah. Hah…Hah…" Emerald wasn't thinking much straighter. Her only thought besides how amazing the kiss was, was air. She needed air, at least a good amount to continue this mind-numbing kiss. And by mind-numbing, she meant electrifying, spine tingling, never going to stop kiss.

Chu. Before Sasuke could react, Sakura took the initiative and attacked.

Caught by surprise, Sasuke's expression was elated. His fingers entwined, twirled through her laces, encouraging her to deepen the kiss.

"Uhm…" Feeling the shift of weight, Sakura dropped to the side as Sasuke climbed on top. Still connect, their kiss showed no halting.

"Sakura…" He whispered her name tentatively.

"Sasuke-kun…" So hot, his lips smoothly trailed down her jaw, her neck, up to her ear. Sakura reactively shrugged her shoulder from the ticklish feel of his tongue flicker her lobe.

Phuuu~~

"Haa…haa…That tickles…" She giggled from his teasing act. Sasuke was blowing air into her ear. Shooing his head away, Sakura turned and hid her ear from his lips.

"Sakura. Stop being so cute." And he reached over and nibbled on her other ear. "Makes me want to eat you up." Like a wolf satiated from his full meal, the innocent sheep.

"Eeek." Her flailing arms were captured and Sakura was defenseless under Sasuke's wrath.

Bite. Softly punctured her neck with his teeth, he licked away the pain.

"Oooahh…oh…" Groaning, thrashing, Sakura writhed in his arms.

Like the temperate wave on a calm breezing day, their body washed back and forth with disordered rhythm. Slipping, sliding against each other. Increasing heat built up and up, creating a big heat bubble, readied to explode.

"Hold on." He warned her. One hand held a siege of her wrist. The other crawled to her lower back. He pushed her hip closer to his, allowing their heats to meet.

With a push, he entered her swiftly, wholly.

"Oooh…Sasu-oh…" Trembling, shaking, Sakura was melting. Indescribable tempting pleasure surfaced her expression. Bloated red, her cheeks were burning scarlet. The sensation was completely different. Gone were pain and the stinging ache. It replaced by jolts of electricity.

His throat was tight. Sasuke grunted to show his aggression. This inept frustration was driven him insane. Tasting, kissing, licking away the delectable scent of her skin. His tongue traveled every part of her exposed flesh.

Eyes rolled back. Neck arched back. Her throat sore from the constant moaning, crying, groaning of gratification. Lungs were constricted, not even bothered to work. Breathless cries shot out to the night.

He stole the breath over every air she took and claim every part of her that he had not.

"Sasuke-kun…I…" Stifle a moan, Sakura was coming near to the edge. A little more, just a little more because the feeling was rupturing, a little more would set off the dormant outburst. Wetness streamed from her legs. It smeared and smudged. Stickiness, she felt it pooled by her slit.

"Oh. Pl-ease…Oooah…" It was torture, the slow movement.

"Hm." He teased. Such a devilish man, rocking in to her slowly. Sasuke savored every inch they connected.

Impatience with his pace, she clawed his back. All this teasing was driving her mad.

"Please…Please," she cried.

Thought the girl had enough, Sasuke complied. As always a soft kiss to the lips, he picked up his pace with vigor.

The bed creek. The wall shook. The floor trembled. The room could crumble to nothingness when they rocked mindlessly to the beat of their pulsating heat.

Sakura instinctively brought her legs up and widened to let him settle in between. Sucked in her stomach, her breath was held. Body shaking, Sakura jerked uncontrollably as a wash of mind-blowing orgasm flushed from her system. The sudden arrival of immeasurable sensation made her spine shook out of place. Stars were blinking behind her lids.

"Oohh…" It lasted who knew how long, all because Sasuke kept on thrusting his in and out of her wall continuously, her 'O' moment wouldn't cease.

"P-oh…plea…ah-please-" Choking, begging him, she clawed and scratched his back hastily.

In and out.

In and out.

The feel of her inner wall was exciting, he just couldn't stop. So wet, so tight, he felt her lips pulsating, squeezing around him. It was amazing, simply thrilling the feel of her tightness around his length. Implausible.

Too caught up with the sensation, Sasuke barely noticed the red marks covering his skin. Until he felt a sharp pain by the ears, Sasuke lifted his head up.

Lusty emerald and vigorous obsidian clashed.

Dramatic pause, they stared at each other with equal intense gaze.

"Har. Har. Har…" Heavy breathing filled up the room from the two. Erotic air fused the atmosphere with musky tone.

With minimum cognizant, Sakura released his ears and cupped his jaws with lightening speed. She blessed his lips with a tangible kiss.

Backed out, lips parted, harshly breathed, combing her hair back for a better view, Sakura gazed at the pair of admiring obsidian. He was as lost, as in bliss as she was. Steady his palms, Sasuke lowered his torso up to reconnect their lips.

"Uhm…" Dawdling, passionate with temper, they kissed fervently. So thick, such deep taste of her honey lingered by the tip of his tongue, the corners of his mouth. Tongues twisting, battling, they fought for dominance. Air was running out in supply but either side cared.

The rustle of the bed sheet echoed through the wall. Pillows were long forgotten on the floor with the useless blanket. Too much on the bed was suffocating their space. Sweating, the cloth was soaked with their perspiration. All area surfaces were blazing hot. Heat transferred from their bodies trapped under the layers of white sheets.

Turning, rolling on the bed, their bodies were restless.

Vrrrmmm Vrrmmmm

Hardly noticed, the little object's vibration was masked by their deafening moans.

Holding her by the waist, he felt her hands on his neck and shoulder. Their legs intertwined. In motion, it rubbed smoothly with the help of her juice lubricating his skin. Such friction was heaven. Her hips moved on its own without his help.

"Oh! Oh! Oh! … Sas-! Oh!"

"C'mon Sakura…" Grunting, he encouraged her to go faster, to meet him in between. Sticky, drenched wet, his groin soaked with her juice.

"Oh! Oh!…ooo-mm!" Holding her breath, Sakura threw her head back in bliss. So strong, she felt every nerve of her body exploded. Flushed empty from a powerful wash of fluid, her thighs strangled his with vigor. Clawing, she held on to him for her sanity. A hard satisfying sigh escaped the pinkette's throat, followed by the rapid breathing to replenish her lungs.

Smirking, pride spread over his face when Sakura cried out from climax. Not a touch of slowing down, lifting her legs higher, pressing his hip deeper, Sasuke feverously fought to reach his ecstasy.

When it came, his hip shook with fireworks and bought Sakura over the edge a third time. "Uah…" He grunted a low moan. Completely exhausted, Sasuke fell limply on to the side.

"Hah. Ha…Haa…" Gulp. "Sasuke-kun." Feeling her excitement subsided for, Sakura leaned up to slip her hands around his chest and locked it behind his back. Embracing his body with care, digging her face into him, she breathed in his musky scent. So manly, his unique aroma overwhelmed her mind.

"You're alright?" Panting, he soothed her as she weakly nodded. Sasuke cradled Sakura in his arms and protectively wrapped the girl tightly to him. After her moment, she felt more fragile than normal. Exhausted, her body barely moved much. So light, she could dissolved into air and seeped away.

The room burned with heat. The only recognizable sound was their harsh breathings. It was so rapid, so haphazard; it pounded against the wall and echoed loudly through their ears.

But.

Vrrmm Vrrrmmm… That annoying sound came. This time loudly disrupted the restful air of the two.

Vrrrmmm…Vrrmmm… Annoyed, he should have chucked it out of the window, but sadly, it was not an option.

"Hn." Pulling the girl with him, shifting closer to the headboard, Sasuke stretched his arm to wander blindly around the light table. Found the object, he angrily answered. Fuming, the person who called at such hour better had a good reason for interrupting him.

Sakura, clueless of whatever going on, nuzzled her head and tickled his neck with her prying nose.

"What?" His voice sounded like he had just returned from a marathon. Breathless, he made the caller wondered what kind of activity he was or still engaged in.

"Kurenai. If you're not saying anything, I'm going to disconnect."

- Holding back her meddling mind, the dark haired ex-spy withdrew from those thoughts and answered, "Sheese. I'll make it quick so you can return to sleep or whatever that you were doing." -

"Hn." One hand holding the phone, the other was stroking the pinkette's back gently. With impassive eyes, he looked to the ceiling as the next second pass with informing news.

"Envelope delivered."

"Good." A smirk formed on his lips. Sudden interest peaked.

"But they found me so I'm going to be undercover for a while. Don't worry, they're clueless."

"Hn. Very well." His fingers played with the pink tresses. Sakura softly cooed closer.

She chuckled. "You sound laid back. Not in a rush anymore?"

"…" She had no need to know his reason.

"Hmp. Well. That's all I have to say. I'll have the other matter taken care of shortly."

"As expected." He grimaced from hearing her snort.

"Yea. Go back to-" The phone shut off before she finished her sentence.

Carelessly put the object back in its original location, Sasuke massaged his forehead to sort out the tension of his mind.

"What's wrong Sasuke-kun?" Concerned voice asked of his dilemma. Sasuke glanced down to see Sakura looked up with caring eyes.

"Nothing. Just business." All softened with just one look at her.

"Ah." Business? What kind of business matter that required a midnight call? Not asking more, she still doubted the insignificant value of the call.

"Hn." Folded one arm under his head, Sasuke turned slightly on his side.

"Uh…Sasuke-kun, can you…" She hadn't moved from his thigh. Stay in place, recent movement made her body tingled.

"No." It was nice staying like that.

"But I want to get the cover." She felt him inside her, the strange feeling of him growing again.

"I'll be your cover." Sasuke leaned over further to shield her body completely.

Pout. "You're heavy." A playful slap, she pushed him away but the bulky man wouldn't budge.

"Watch it. You're moving too much Sakura." A warning, Sasuke gave a smirk to her pouting face. He released her body and instantly missed her warmth.

Biting her lips, Sakura shuddered at the feel of him slipping out of her. Emerald watched as his sculpted body swiftly crossed hers. Blinking, biting her lips harder, Sakura studied his expression, his gestures. Sasuke bent down to retrieve the blanket, the pillows with the excepting for their clothing articles. Accidentally stepped on her nightgown, he kicked it further away. Then the attentive raven proceeded to return to the bed. Pillow in hand, he tucked it under her head.

Ba-thump, Ba-thump, Ba-thump. What was this? She thought it was over. The funny feeling had released from her body already, right? Why was her heart still beating like that?

Her chest felt tight. Bright eyes sparkled. She couldn't take her eyes off of him.

"What now?" A chuckle by his lips, Sasuke asked what was with the meticulous gaze. Settled by her side, he wrapped the blanket around them.

She attacked him with a hug!

Startled by her sudden embrace, obsidian raised his eyebrow. In amusement, he teased, "Sakura, as much as I want, I still have work tomorrow. It's midnight, you know?" She froze up like a statue. "But…"

Sakura was as bright as a red lantern.

"If you can't sleep…" His hand began to journey all along the familiar trail. Grabbing her wrist, pulling it from his back, Sasuke led it down south. "…I'll just have to tire you out."

The rest of the night was veiled. The roaring rain sealed away the pounding, the grunting, the moaning cries. Night could only last for so long. Escaping reality, time was not affecting them. Restless, they kept going. To finish what had been stimulated.

o-o-o

"No room for negotiation."

Lazily leaning against the armchair of his office. Kabuto fixed the rim of his glasses higher on his nose. His other hand threw the folder with agitation on to the desk.

"Well of course. Do you really think Sasuke is going to let you prance around without a bullet targeting your every move?" A scoff echoed. the owner of the mocking speech stood up from her seat. Walking over to his desk, she picked up a clean glass and the opened wine bottle on side, about to pour it.

"Should you really be drinking...Karin?" Kabuto glanced to the side to catch his associate in time. His dark eyes met her ruby reds then lower to the lump of her midriffs.

Smirking, she continued pouring then lifted the glass to her lips. "Gotta train them young," She took a sip. "After all, he probably takes after his father." Her waist leaned against the desk to rest. Karin gently rubbed her growing belly with ease.

Dun Dun Dun...Dunnnn?

Ha. Nearly five years and I think I've teased you guys enough. Ku Ku Ku...Real drama starts now. As some of you may notice, I just updated a parallel story to Hello, I'm Your Angel as a relaunch of this original.
