Hey guys! I'm alive and kicking! I have promised you that the sequel to Gentle Lie would be out in December, right? Well...it's here! This sequel has a whole new storyline, and no, this won't just be a one-shot or two-shot. And to make the ones unsatisfied with the lack of sex in Gentle Lie, this story will definitely satiate you guys. (: There will be lots more lemons in this story than the prequel! (Oh goshhh, more embarrassing lemons to write, but gladly!)

If you guys could drop 10-15 reviews, it'd be great, and I'll have the next chapter out by Christmas! Isn't that great? ^^ If not...guess no updates till...umm...possibly February. I'm a busybody, as are the rest of you guys. (:

BTW. This story is called VELVET for a reason, just like Gentle Lie. I thought that since the prequel already has a song title as its name, then why not continue with that for the sequel? The name of the song is well, VELVET by alice nine.

Disclaimer #1: Oh disclaimers, disclaimers, how I have not missed you so. Kishimoto-sensei owns Naruto!...and what the hell is going on? Why're you making it so that Team 7 won't be reunited?! *fumes*

Disclaimer #2: I do not own the song VELVET by alice nine., but I do own the plot for this story! Check them out!

Chapter 1 - VELVET

Naruto stood in the entranceway of Sasuke and Sakura's house as he debated whether or not to leave. For once, he felt like he was invading the couple's privacy in their own house, and most of all – their bedroom. Harsh pants from upstairs interrupted his train of thought, and Naruto would have high-tailed it out of there if there wasn't something that he had to ask of the two.

He left his sandals on the carpet by the door and walked towards the stairway, dismayed to find clothes littered all over the steps and railings.

'Maybe I ought to come back later, dattebayo…'

Sweatpants, shirts, t-shirts, tank tops, and sweaters made the staircase a treacherous place to navigate through. The noises increased in volume as Naruto neared the top of the stairs. Putting his hand on the doorknob to the room Sasuke and Sakura shared, he took a deep breath and threw it open.

"Sakura-chan, teme, can you two ple–" Naruto stopped midway through his sentence at the scene before him.

"Oh – hey, Naruto." Sakura huffed.

"Who the – hell let you – in?" Sasuke glared at him.

"I let myself in, because I heard…some noise up here and I thought you two were…busy, that's all." He sheepishly replied as he scratched his head.

"No, we weren't having – fun with each other, if that's what you mean." Sakura smiled at him as she tried to regain her breath.

"Hn." 'Too bad we weren't.'

"Don't tell me that, Sakura-chan! You'll always be pure and innocent, dattebayo!" Naruto pouted.

"I wasn't innocent a loonggg time ago." Sakura chuckled. "Same with you and Hinata."

"Well…we don't do it that often. I mean, maybe only several times a–"

"Dobe. We don't care to know how many times you and your girlfriend do it every week and day." Sasuke cut in before embarrassing and horrifying information could be leaked.

"But Sakura-chan said–!"

"Naruto, what brings you here today of all days?" She quickly said.

"Well…seeing how the two of you have been busy for a while and we haven't really seen each other recently, I was wondering if you guys were still alive, dattebayo!"

"Contradictory. Busy and wondering if we were still alive." Sasuke humored.

"Shut up teme!"

"Then don't make mistakes."

"Okay, okay. Break it up you two." Sakura sighed. "Back on topic, what were you planning?"

"I think we should head out for ramen tomorrow!!!" Naruto eagerly yelled.

Sasuke fisted his hand and would've thrown it at his best friend if not for Sakura holding onto his wrist. She shot him a look that signalled for him to keep himself under control.

""Why don't we spar in the morning first and then have ramen after? We'll see who is more physically fit tomorrow. Just Team 7." Sakura suggested. Better than just watching Naruto eat 20 bowls of ramen dry without eating their own ramen enthusiastically.

"That's a great idea, Sakura-chan!!! We'll go with that then! Uhh…just out of curiosity, what were the two of you doing when I walked in? And why are there clothes everywhere on your staircase?"

"Ahh, so that's what he was really curious about." Sakura smirked.

"Hn." Sasuke smiled a tiny bit, but it was barely visible. Everything was hardly visible for himself.

"We decided to get a new bed, but it was a disaster lugging it all the way here and placing it to our liking. The bed is quite heavy even for Sasuke and I."

"What happened to your old one?"

"It's been…what, twenty years since the last bed's been bought? It's not safe to sleep in a bed that has a possibility of cracking every ten seconds." She continued.

"What about–"

"The clothes on the staircase are for wash. The hamper was knocked over by one of the legs of the bed when we brought it up." Sasuke sighed.

"Normally, the clothes would be strewn all over the bedroom instead of out here." Sakura teased.

"And the house would be unusually loud." Sasuke threw that in for a double whammy on Naruto's mind.

"STOP IT! I DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT GOES ON IN YOUR BEDROOM!!!" Naruto ran out of their bedroom and jumped down the flight of stairs and hurriedly tried to put on his sandals.

"We'll meet you at the bridge tomorrow at 8 o'clock then." She smiled at the foolish actions of her friend.

"Whatever, dattebayo! Just…get your business done before you come."

"It's the same with you." Sasuke smirked.

"You two are teasing me! It's not fair when it's two against one!" He then threw the door open and slammed it shut as he left.

"Took you long enough to find out." Sasuke murmured into Sakura's ear.

"Hey, that tickles, Sasuke!" She lightly laughed. "Think he's gone?"

"Hn. Doesn't matter either way. He can learn from me if he hears you."

Sakura punched him lightly on the arm and proceeded to pick the clothes up from the floor. "I'd like for you to keep your tricks of the trade to yourself, Uchiha-san."

"There's more than where those came from." Sasuke pushed Sakura to a wall and placed chaste kisses that travelled from her neck to her jaw. The already picked-up clothes dropped from her hands.

"We need to clean, Sasuke." Sakura tried not to be side-tracked by the soft kisses.

In one swift movement, Sasuke scooped Sakura's legs from under her and lifted her up in his arms. Kicking the bathroom door open and entering, he nudged it closed with his shoulder. He put her down in the shower and pressed her to the cold and icy tiled-wall as he trapped her there with two arms beside her head.

"We can get clean here." He whispered, his breath ghosting over her skin.

He leaned down slightly and kissed her softly as his hand slyly crept up her shirt. She quietly moaned as his fingers lightly caressed her toned stomach and proceeded to unhook her strapless bra. Good thing he managed to convince her to wear bras at home. Made things a lot easier. Her hands were fumbling to untie the drawstring on his sweatpants, but Sasuke gently swept her hands aside and held her wrists with one hand above her head. This was going a bit too slow for his liking.

His patience cut short, he threw the bra somewhere into the spacious bathroom and ripped her shirt off of her; a small squeak of protest burst from Sakura's lips as she tried to pull herself away from him.

"Sasuke! What're you doing?! That's my favourite shirt from yo–"

He smoldered her words with a bruising kiss as his other hand kneaded one of her fleshy mounds. Her legs intuitively wrapped themselves around his waist as she arched into him from pleasure. God, was it ever this hot when they cleaned before? Sakura groaned as she roughly yanked at Sasuke's shirt; it was very irritating that she was the only one topless whereas he was still fully clothed.

Smirking, Sasuke pulled back from the kiss, much to Sakura's dismay. Her cheeks were already pink and her eyes had started clouding with lust. Her bare chest rapidly rose and fell as she took in deep breaths to account for the loss of air during their previous less-than-aggressive actions. Such nice and more than modest curves she has. His hands on the hem of his dark-blue t-shirt, Sasuke pulled it off swiftly for Sakura's lustful green orbs.

"Like what you see?" Sasuke huskily blew into her ear.

She responded by reaching around him to turn on the knob for the hot water. Hot water rushed out of the shower nozzle, drenching the two and making their remaining clothes cling to them.

"You know…if we talk too muchhhh, there won't be any hot water left by the end." Sakura sultrily whispered as she teasingly trailed her index finger over Sasuke's slick abs.

He smirked. Only she would be the only half-naked woman around who would still be able to compose herself in front of a man.

The next thing she knew, she was shoved onto the wall as he swiftly disposed of her shorts and panties in one fluid movement. Two fingers suddenly entered her, making her gasp in pleasure. Her hands flew to his shoulders and gripped them as she willed herself not to lose control before he had even truly began. In this position, her breasts were levelled with his eyes and he took one of her soft mounds in his mouth, biting, nipping, and licking it. Savouring the sweet taste of her flesh. His hand kneaded her other neglected breast. Not once did his fingers lose their rhythm. The unbearable heat in her lower abdomen was building so very fast. Her juices were already trickling out.

She gave a throaty moan, but could not arch upwards at the pleasure Sasuke was making her feel for their bodies were pressed too closely together; it was difficult to breathe, let alone move. The hot water that poured on them only increased the lust and decreased the time it would take for Sakura to reach her state of ecstasy. His mouth left her now red and bruise-covered chest only to return to her lips; Sasuke kissed her forcefully, her head hitting the tiles rather hard.

She moaned deeply into the kiss as he his fingers penetrated her even deeper. Adjusting his hand, his thumb rubbed her clitoris in time with his fingers pumping in and out of her.

"S-Sasuke-kun…" She whined as she tore her lips away from his. She was so close.

He slowed to a painstakingly deliberate pace, making her wiggle her hips around his fingers in frustration.

"Say it, Sa-ku-ra." He devilishly teased.

Clumsily holding Sasuke's head in her hands, Sakura looked straight into his clear onyx-black orbs with her hazy green ones.

"Fuck me hard, Sasuke."

In the midst of Sakura's pleasure, he had managed to kick off his sweatpants, leaving him absolutely exposed. Retracting his fingers from her dripping core, he looked her directly in the eye and licked his fingers one by one, sucking them dry of her sweet juices. If possible, she was getting even wetter by the second by the erotic scene in front of her. She wrapped her legs tighter around his waist, the head of his hardened length just slightly entering her slippery core.

Sasuke leaned his torso forward and pressed her to the wall. Simultaneously, he rammed himself into her full to the hilt. Raw screams erupted from her bruised lips and echoed loudly in the bathroom; anyone within the house or even in the Uchiha Compounds would be able to hear her.

Damn it. Her muscles immediately squeezed him as he entered. She's long since lost her virginity, but yet, every time, she would be tighter than ever before. Her velvety insides just sucked him in; losing himself in the sheer pleasure of her sex milking him. The hot water had indeed turned cold as Sakura had predicted, but it was barely noticeable with her heat surrounding him. He pounded relentlessly into her as more cries of pleasure ripped from her plump lips, her cheeks rosy red.

"…Sasuke…kun…"

Oh God. It was so hard to form words. She was full to the brim. Every stroke felt like she was about to set on fire. Her pink hair plastered to her warm wet skin as Sasuke continued to rock into her deliciously. The moment he left her, she would feel empty, but he would thrust into her with more force than the last's. It just wasn't enough. Timing the thrusts, she impaled herself on him as he entered. The ring of muscles tightened its grip on his member, and Sakura felt it twitch as she repeated this action several times until she couldn't bear it anymore.

Her voice hoarse as she screamed his name, she coated his length in her sticky clear fluid. She hung limp and panted in his arms as he continued to pound into her, still intent on finding his own release. Rearranging Sakura's position in his arms, he hit a different spot in her. She immediately straightened up at the stimulus the special bundle of nerves inside her had just experienced; a lengthy moan was suppressed by Sasuke's shoulder. Just as soon as her orgasm wracked through her, another one was on the way. She didn't know where one would stop and another would begin.

Sasuke dragged his tongue along Sakura's collarbone and up until he found her pulse. He gently sucked on it as she gasped at the sensations her body was overcome with. Her hands flew to his hair, fingers scraping sensually across his scalp, making him groan and hammer into her even harder, hitting her bundle of nerves every time. With every stroke, she would clamp down on him even tighter than the last's; the friction created was going to drive him over the edge. He could sense she was too with the way she quivered around him.

Sakura hooked her legs together behind his back and bucked down on him as he thrust up. Her moans were swallowed by Sasuke's feverish kisses as the cold water continued to spray on them; a relaxing and cooling agent to their passionate love-making. Thank goodness there was a separate water reservoir for the Uchiha Compounds than the rest of the city. They'd be complaining.

With one particular thrust, she bit down on his lip as she came, her muscles clutching down on his manhood. Sasuke poured into her as his orgasmic high made him temporarily blind for a second. It was amazing how he managed to hold her up against the wall as he momentarily lost control of himself. Recovering from his high but still breathing deeply, he looked Sakura up and down.

Creamy white skin peppered with his marks, whereas her cheeks were red from their intense workout. Her chest rapidly rose and fell as she tried to regain her composure. Brilliant green orbs peeked out from behind half-opened lids while her swollen lips smiled at him. Between their adjoined bodies, their slick bodily fluids continued to drip globs onto the wet bottom of the bathtub. Easing himself out of her, he looked there, her hole stretched and enlarged from their aggressive activities. Clear and sticky white liquids slowly leaked out of her and travelled downwards, staining her thighs.

Reaching up with his hand, Sasuke scooped the fluids from her thighs and licked it off his hand. Sweet and tangy. Sakura made a small noise at the scene and put one foot to the cold surface of the tub and Sasuke obligingly released her other leg from his grasp. She blushed prettily as she turned away, unable to face such an erotic sight.

"Sakura. Look at me." He quietly ordered.

How could she resist to his voice? It was just like velvet sheets, enveloping her in soft and silky-smooth wrappings.

She looked at him, her lips slightly parted, her eyes lightly sparkling at the man she loved. He leaned down and kissed her, their combined taste still persisting in his mouth. Gently sweeping his tongue across hers and retracting it moments later, he gave her the sweetest kiss she had ever experienced with him thus far. Or maybe it was a different kiss every time. Who knows? Pulling back, Sasuke gave her one last kiss on her forehead before he turned the knob from warm water to hot water; hot water gushed out of the showerhead and soaked them both.

Sakura leaned back onto Sasuke as he squirted shampoo onto his hands, and sighed as he tenderly massaged her pink tresses.

'If only this would go on forever.' She contently thought.
