I could see the trees pelting every which way as we raced down the road, trying to beat the approaching storm. We reached a barn that stood in a clearing and Sasuke hurried out. I opened the door and we ran together towards the barn. Flying debris hit us on the way and ripped at Sasuke's shirt. He shielded me with his body and we finally got through the huge doors. Moving forward, he went to the middle of the floor and pulled open what looked like wooden cellar doors.

"Come on, Sakura." I ran to him and we went down several feet of stone steps. He closed the wooden doors behind us and latched them shut. "It's just down here." Even farther down, there was a white hatch which he opened. A small white ladder led to blackness. He urged me forward and climbed in after me. I stood still in the dark, shivering in my soaked clothes. He closed the lid and I heard him strike a match.

"We'll be ok here for a while." A small light began to glow from the lantern in his hands revealing shelves with supplies and clothes, a cot, blanket, and pillow along one wall, and another shelf of food on the last. "My parents are probably in our house basement. This place is for whomever gets stuck out here on duties." He turned to me, saw my drawn face and stretched his arms. I went to him and lay my head on his shoulder.

"Aren't you glad you've come home now?" I said with a shivering laugh.

He chuckled and replied, "More than you know." We pulled apart and looked at each other.

"We should probably get these clothes off. You'll catch your death of cold." He pulled away and turned to a shelf behind him. "I'm sure there are towels and stuff here somewhere."

I first pulled off my heavy boots, now filled with chilling water, then my socks, then I began to take off my soaked blouse as he rummaged two white towels from the shelves. He turned back to me just as I pulled the blouse off, revealing my equally wet white lace bra. I blushed, knowing that my nipples stood up conspicuously. He swallowed and handed me a towel, then began to work at the buttons of his own top. As he pulled it off, I noticed blood, and then a large cut along his left shoulder.
"Oh God, Sasuke. You're cut." I went to him, oozing feminine concern.

"It's just a scratch," he assured me in typical male response.

"Sit down, I'll fix it. Do you have a first aid kit here?" I found a box of bandages on the shelf next to the towels. Logan sat on the cot and watched me. Using the towel, I wiped the cut clean, then applied disinfectant. I heard a short intake of breath from Sasuke but then silence. As I blew on the cut, I felt a firm hand begin tentatively at my hip, moving slowly up to my smooth waist. I kept working as he ran the back of his fingers along my belly. As I placed the bandage over the wound, his hand moved to the small of my back and pulled me forward, his forehead resting on the area between my breasts.

I stood still for a moment, my heart racing and sexual heat flooding the very core of me. I placed my hands softly on the back of his head. He responded by putting both hands behind me, pulling me closer to him. His face moved along my belly, feeling, kissing softly.

"I've missed you, Sakura."

"I've missed you too."

"You don't know what it was like over there."

"Shh…you're home now. With me. Don't think about that."

His head pulled away and he looked up at me. I smiled and moved a strand of hair from his forehead. Then it began.

He leaned forward and kissed my smooth, firm stomach, his hands touching softly along my back. His kisses moved along and up until they came to the area between my breasts. He reached up behind me, pulling the straps of my bra to the side and down my arms. Slowly, the tops of my bra fell to reveal two smooth globes. He stared into my eyes as he slowly undid the clasps of my bra. I leaned forward to kiss his forehead and my bra fell to the floor. He stared at my chest for a moment, seemingly lost for words.

"You are so beautiful," he whispered into the darkness. I rested my hand on his muscular shoulders and waited for him to act. He moved his face towards me and kissed the area between my breasts. He moved lower and around, kissing first the bottom, then the sides of each breast. He sucked the skin, and I moaned. His hand came up to enclose around my right breast as his mouth worked on the left. He teased me, moving around and around, closer to my waiting nipple. His right hand gripped my back powerfully, holding me in place. My breathing became shallow, moving my chest closer and closer to his face. Finally he looked up at me, and then closed his warm mouth over my nipple, softly kissing, then working the peak with his tongue. I leaned my head back slightly and moaned, breathing hard. My sounds encouraged him and his touch soon became urgent. His mouth worked over my nipple, teasing, kissing, sucking. I leaned my head to rest on top of his and I moaned softly into his hair. He pulled away and kissed a trail to my other breast. His right hand began to knead my left breast as his mouth moved to my other nipple. He didn't wait this time, quickly taking it into his mouth and sucking hard. I felt heat stirring between my legs and I pulled his head closer to me. He took my nipple between his teeth gently and pulled. That sent me over the edge as I moaned louder, my knees giving way.

At that, Sasuke stood and kissed me, keeping one hand against my back for support and the other on my breast, rubbing and massaging. I threw one arm around his neck, the other feeling his rock hard abs, exploring the edge of his wet jeans. His kiss was tender at first, but at my own impassioned response, it grew more intense. I opened my mouth slightly, hesitantly touching his tongue with mine. He groaned into my mouth and responded with vigor. I parted my mouth even farther, allowing him full access. His tongue pushed into my mouth, touching every part. With his hand firmly against my back.
