Hey! And yes, yet another update :P Ahaha I'm so inspired lately! :) Funny thing is that it's New Years today! And for the first time in my life, New Years has been the most painfully boring day ever. I've never had 'no fun' on New Years, and now it just happened. I was expecting it though. I told my parents I was going to go with them, to the place they were going and to where I knew I was not going to have any fun. Yet they forced me. And I got bitched at by my dad all night so ha, so much for having fun eh?

Anyway. The update!

Chapter 3: Sasuke's Feelings

The wind that I chase...

...it all just leads back to you.

A loud and clear groan escaped his lips as he came, and his orgasm hit him so hard that all he saw was white for a second. With a last jerk of his hips and a final grunt, Sasuke rolled off Sakura whom had whimpered at the loss of him. Both lay in his bed, panting heavily, beads of sweat plastered on their bodies. It took a while before one of them went back to their normal breathing pattern and surprisingly, it had been Sakura who had found her breath first.

Sasuke was still trying to return to his normal breathing pattern, but it was already mostly evened out which didn't cause him any trouble to breathe. He didn't really have to wonder why he was so out of breath, since the amazing sex they just had was probably the best out of all the other times. For him, at least. He wasn't sure if Sakura had her own share of so much pleasure, but he highly doubted it. She had been so unpredictable tonight, taking the lead and making sure he was pleasured. And especially at that time she flipped him over as he was ramming into her, stopping their heated and passionate session to pleasure him. He'd never been so surprised in bed before, but he could never have complained because she had made him feel so completely heavenly then. She'd given him the most wonderful present of all he'd received, today.

He turned his head to look at the girl, but was surprised as he found her dressing herself, her half naked body turned away from him. "What do you think you're doing?" He asked, his voice low and gruff.

Sakura turned to stare at him, her eyes showing a certain perplexity. "I'm getting dressed, Sasuke-kun. If that's not obvious enough..." She replied, her voice quiet but matter-of-fact. And to her extreme surprise, he reached over and pulled her back in the bed, earning a loud yelp from her. "Sas─" But he cut her off as he growled in warning. "You're staying." He grunted, wrapping his arms around her tightly. Caught off guard by his movement, she blushed and opened her mouth to speak─only for nothing to come out.

Sure he wrapped his arms around her occasionally after they'd had sex before, but this time, there was something different about it. His grip wasn't nearly as possessive as all the other times, but seemed more like an act of affection than anything else. A silent plead for her to stay with him, from the looks of it. "Sasuke-kun, I'm working tomorrow. And one of the others could very likely walk in, in morning." She said, trying to pull his arms away. But he only tightened his grip. "I don't care." He muttered, running a hand over her smooth and uncovered stomach before he went down to her jeans and professionally slipped them off. "You're staying tonight." He repeated, pulling her close once again.

If the others had been here tonight, it was sure they would have been discovered. They'd caused such a racket and trashed a lot in the house in their lustful rumps, and both of them thoroughly enjoyed it, there was no denying that. But everything had come down to luck.

Naruto had told the others they would be missing for the night, since a mission had been assigned to them at the last minute, and the news had simply overwhelmed the lustful couple. It was rare the three boys would be assigned on a mission together, since Naruto was almost always placed with other people and Sai and Kakashi would be busy with more serious stuff, like ANBU.

Everything had been down to luck. Completely.

"Sasuke-kun?" He heard the pink haired kunoichi question quietly, shifting lightly in his arms so she could look at him.

"Hn?" He replied almost inaudibly.

Sakura hesitated for a moment, but decided it couldn't hurt to ask. "Why do you want me to stay?" She softly queried, putting a hand on his chest gently.

Sasuke didn't move her hand away, and nor did he make a move to remove his arms off of her. "Hn..." he replied, breathing out quietly. Sakura raised a brow and poked him lightly, making him sigh. "There's no real reason, Sakura." he replied again, running a finger down her back. "...else than we're not done yet." He finished, biting her earlobe lightly.

Sakura gasped. "But this is like, the sixth time!" Sakura exclaimed, moaning softly as he turned her body and traced her curves sensually.

Sasuke smirked, gripping her hips lightly which gave Sakura the perfect idea of what he was going to do next. She wrapped her arms around his torso, moaning loudly and breathlessly as he entered her, moving teasingly inside her passage. He nuzzled her neck, breathing quietly against her neck "I just can't get enough of you." He murmured to her, jerking his hips towards hers to push in more deeply. She tightened blissfully around him and he hissed in pleasure. "I never will." He added, his voice so much softer then before.

Sakura gasped lightly at his revelation, soon followed by a throaty moan as he started thrusting roughly into her while they were still laying sideways, his grip on her hips loosening before he glided his hands to her sweet rump and pushed her more tightly against his length, earning him another set of loud moans. "Sas.. Ahnn... Sasuke... ah... -kun..." She moaned, pushing her body flushed against his.

She tried to flip him over so she could be on top, but he held her firmly in place, wanting them to experience this new way of sex: fucking sideways. He always liked to experience new things and new positions, and this one had never occurred to him for some unexplained reason. "Sasuuuukeee..." He heard her mewl, letting out a hitched cry as she started to meet him at each of his powerful thrusts.

Sasuke grunted and groaned from time to time, but for some reason felt more the need to hold her in his arms as he continued to thrust into her, like he was pleasuring her more then he was pleasuring himself. It was a bit confusing in his head, because it was his birthday and it should be all about him tonight, but he couldn't help but to want to make her feel blissful too. "Hmmm... Ahhnnn..." She panted in his ear, mewling his name softly as he pushed himself deeper into her. "Sasukeeee....-kuuuun..." She purred in his ear, giggling lightly as he smirked against her ear.

He slowed his movements to tease her, which made her whimper at the loss of pleasure, and then he stopped subconsciously as he stared at her longing face, his eyes scanning that beautiful angel face of hers. And as she rocked her hips against his to get him moving again, she got cut off by his lips brushing tenderly against hers. She froze, her eyes snapping wide open and round, widening even more as he pulled her closer and kissed her more softly, rocking against her gently.

And soon, she was lost in his tender touches and kisses, her breathless moans escaping more often out of that small mouth as he rocked his hips against hers slowly and gently. He loved the way she moaned against his lips, and the way she rocked her hips back onto his, and loved the way she was more responsive.

The both of them never quite realized they were now making love.

Emerald soon appeared beneath closed eyelids who flapped gracefully open, and the bearer of those innocent emerald pools sighed quietly, rubbing her sleepy eyes lightly with the back of her hand before she put it back at the same place. Sakura then gasped as she felt warm flash under her palm and she tried to move away, but then realized she was firmly imprisoned in strong arms. She looked up sharply, her breath hitching in her throat as she took in the sight of Sasuke's angelic sleeping face.

His locks fell lightly in his eyes, hiding a bit of his face, but she could still clearly see his peaceful expression and the way his features formed a kind of content expression as well. She'd woken up with him a few times, but never before had she woken up when he looked like this. Never before had he looked so peaceful and so content. Never before had he held her so affectionately. Never before was he so close.

The times she woken up with him were pleasurable too, and his face was still peaceful, but he didn't quite look content. He looked more tired and weary, like a man who'd been deprived of something for so long. He always held her possessively, as if afraid she would go, and it would never quite be an affectionate touch. It was more rough and obsessive, like he didn't want anyone to take her away from him because she was his. And least of all, he'd always kept a kind of distance between them, if only just a little. He'd never kept her flushed against his body.

But everything was happening on the contrary, today. He looked like a man who'd obtained the thing he'd been rid of for so long, and he looked so peacefully happy. He looked restful and a bit blissfully exhausted. His hold on her was still possessive, but it was so gentle and affectionate... like the embrace of a lover would be. And he was holding her flushed against his body, leaving no space whatsoever. It was naked body against naked body.

She felt him shift lightly, his strong arms pulling her even closer, pressing her chest tightly against his and her lower area against his. He let out a long and truly content sigh, leaning his head forward until it rested more closely to hers. Sakura gaped at how beautiful he was from up close and she couldn't resist to reach out and touch his cheek, which he responded with a slight stir and a subconscious lean towards her touch. Sasuke breathed out quietly, and she smiled, gliding one of her hands from his chest to his back, pulling him more closely to her. His head ended up in the crook of her neck, and she could now feel his entirely. And weirdly, while she felt his warm body so pressed up against hers, and as she felt his breath on her neck, she didn't feel horny or lustful.

She actually felt quite the contrary. Soft and intimately (in the non-sexual way) connected. Happy and tender. Loved.

And for the first time ever since their intimate relationship started, Sakura didn't care if anyone walked in on them.

"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you, dear Sakura-chan.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUUU!"

Drunken chants and staggered laughs escaped the mouths of the rookie nine as they finished chanted 'happy birthday' to newly turned nineteen Sakura, and she laughed along with them, smiling at her team in particular. She stood up and ran to them, launching at Naruto first while engulfing him in a large bear hug. "Thank you, guys. That's so nice of you." She said softly, looking to the rest of her team with a smile since they were standing behind Naruto and herself.

She released Naruto, pecked him on the cheek before launching to Kakashi next, laughing as he staggered back a little. "Sakura! My, don't be so hard on the tackles!" He laughed quietly, ruffling the girl's hair. Sakura giggled. "Not my fault your bones are getting fragile, old man!" She teased, laughing as she saw his offended expression. "I'm not old!" He retorted back, a little too much on the defensive side.

Sakura only ignored the grey eyed man's complaints and she walked over to the ever so stoic looking Uchiha. She bit her lip before deciding to speak up. "Thank you, Sasuke-kun. It was nice of you." She said softly, looking down at her feet right after. "It was Naruto's idea." Sasuke replied, his voice flat and emotionless. "I don't have anything to do with it." He finished in a low, almost inaudible voice. Sakura grinned, surprising him lightly. "Oh really? That's not what everybody says. Apparently, it was your idea entirely." She replied, grinning more slyly.

His eyes widen lightly and he opened his mouth to retort immediately, but she had launched at him and wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, nuzzling his chest softly. "Well, your idea or not... Thank you Sasuke-kun... You came and that's what makes me happy..." She murmured softly, looking up to him before she kissed his cheek lightly and softly.

But as she was about to walk away, he gripped her wrist, dropping his head beside her ear. "Meet me in the kitchen in an hour. I have something to tell you." He murmured, letting go of her wrist and giving her one promising glance before he walked off to wherever he was going to.

...&...

She entered the kitchen, calling out his name, and she frowned as she received no reply. Looking around the kitchen suspiciously, she took a few steps forward only to squeal in surprise as someone gripped her wrist. Her squeal was muffled by a warm hand covering her mouth, and she yelped in the person hand as he pulled her in the darkness of a corner. "Promise not to yell?" A voice she knew all too well whispered in her ear, his tone almost platonic but holding a certain amount of amusement. She nodded, steadying her breathing as he released her mouth and turned her around to face him. "What are you doing Sasuke-kun? You scared the living shit out of me!" She whispered loudly, figuring they had to be quiet if he led them somewhere 'isolated'.

He stepped closer to her without answering, backing her up against the wall and imprisoning her by putting a hand on each side of her head. "How would you feel getting your present now?" He huskily whispered, making a shiver run up her spine. Sakura swallowed hard, wondering if that was the real Sasuke, but she managed to respond as she sensed no suspicious chakra of a jutsu. "A-And the present... would be...?" She stammered, cursing herself mentally for sounding so horribly weak. He smirked and leaned down to her ear. "A special offer to you." He paused, chuckling lowly as she shuddered against him, and waited for her to answer back to him. "W-What is it?" She managed to say in a trembling voice. He smirked. "Two words for you, Sakura." he leaned closer, grasping her by the waist which made her shudder a second time. "Fuck buddies." He finished in a husky and sensual voice.

Sakura wasn't sure why she had agreed.

When she woke up again, Sakura was in her room and in her bed, and Sasuke was most definitely gone. She looked around, a little shocked, and wondered if everything had just been a dream or not. But then she saw that she was snuggled up in a dark blue cover, which was definitely Sasuke's, and she figure he must've brought her to her room after wrapping her up in one of his sheets. She smiled, but then pouted, feeling sad about having missed his reaction to when he woke up, since he'd obviously woken up before her.

It was completely unpredictable as to how he would have reacted, which made her more eager to know.

But a sudden wave washed over her, a wave of memory and flashbacks, and she was soon engulfed in train of thoughts about the night before. Images of passion of of pure gentleness and affection came back to her and her eyes widen as she realized what exactly they'd been doing for the entire night. It seemed she had just realized she was sore everywhere, and why exactly Sasuke seemed so exhausted in a content way.

They... had made love.

She touched her lips lightly, her breath hitching as she recalled the memory of how soft his lips were against hers as he kissed her gently last night. Everything suddenly came back to her. His soft kisses, affectionate touches and gentle thrusts. The way his coal orbs reflected an emotion deeper then she'd ever seen, and the way both were so completely lost into each other and their love making that they didn't even realize what they were doing. They were lost in the feelings and the instincts... and everything that had led them there.

The door opened, which went unnoticed by Sakura since she was so deep in thoughts, but as he called out her name in his smooth, velvety voice of his, she jerked up in a sitting position, remembering to grab the sheets and to wrap them around her body so the intruder could not see her exposed chest. Her eyes widen at the sight of the raven haired man looking... looking...

...she wasn't quite sure how he looked. It was impossible to tell what he wanted.

He grasped the area where his heart was, and looked up to her with eyes holding so many emotions that she couldn't tell exactly what he was feeling. His mouth opened to speak, but nothing came out. He tightened his grip on his chest, dropping to his knees, which made Sakura yelp in surprise. She ran over to the fallen boy, kneeling before him and gasping as he leaned his head on her lap, gasping in pain as he tightened his grip on his chest again. "Sa-Sasuke-kun!" She yelped, stammering lightly, "What's wrong?!" She exclaimed, trying to help the man stand up only for him to grunt and collapse on her, nearly passed out but not quite awake in the same time.

She turned him over on his back, inspecting him, yet finding nothing wrong with him as she finished the inspection. "Sakura..." he rasped out, groaning lightly as his chest tightened again. "...why is it that my heart hurts?" He breathed, wheezing in pain as it squeezed painfully. Sakura, grabbing the area where her own heart was, stared at the male with tearful orbs and smiled. "...that usually means your heart is breaking." She whispered to him, brushing away his locks from his face. "...I didn't realize you were in love with someone, Sasuke-kun." She said, her voice soft yet almost bitter.

He stared, his eyes glimmering with something Sakura couldn't quite identify, and he tore his gaze away from her after a while.

"...me neither." He breathed out, squeezing his heart once again.

And in the end he's just a typical guy

dragging a girl along

…because he's not sure what he really wants.

-xox-

The people who are the hardest to love...

...are usually the ones who need it most.

End of chapter 3.

Alrighty, I'm done. :) You guys are probably confused as to why his heart is breaking, but it's a little obvious yet not so simply to figure out. But once you will (if you haven't already) you'll be like "OHHHHHHHH! THAT MAKES SENSE! WHY DIDNT I THINK ABOUT IT BEFORE!" lol.

Also, the flashback could be her dream but it wasn't really my intention. It's more to explain how this all started, which was on Sakura's birthday. You'll know more about it later, which will probably be in the next chapter. :D

I hope you guys liked. :)

Please review! Reviews make me write!

P.s. Pssst! I made up those two quotes at the end! Aren't they just adorable!? :)
