Okey Dokey! So, hears the latest installement! Sorry it took me longer to upload but it's quite a long chapter so hopefully tha should abate your murderous tendancies... I hope!

I have to say once more how chuffed I am by the number of positive reviews I've received! Many thanks to all my reviewers but especially to .Fire who has been really helpful with little technical details that I really needed clarification on!

I hope you like this chapter, it's a bit more rushed than the others so there might be a few more gramatical issues, sorry! 3 Enjoy!

Both men struggled inwardly to control themselves but almost lost it when abruptly two pairs of crimson eyes met crystalline green.

"Ahh, guys? Naruto, Sasuke, what's wrong... is there enemy ninja? What do you see?" Sakura grew increasingly frantic as she imagined all possible reasons for her team-mates' violent reactions.

At the sound of Sakura's voice, both males calmed. This was their friend, their team-mate. They had known each other since each was twelve years of age, she was not a threat, nor was she merely a subject to focus pent up sexual frustration upon. She was Sakura Haruno.

Naruto's eyes flashed once and returned to blue, his body reformed and his breathing relaxed. Sasuke raised slightly from the battle crouch his raging hormones and emotional turmoil had forced him into. Both boys now looked at the girl – no, woman- in front of them and saw her beauty and fragility, but also her strength and fierce determination that had always been there.

Naruto took a moment to think. Yes, he wanted this woman, he had always wanted her, but to pounce on her like an animal... it was wrong. If he went through with what was forming in his mind, it would not just be a quick fuck. The experience would be emotional. Was he ready for this?

Sasuke considered his options. He had spent so much time with his blonde counterpart that he could read the man like a book. He could tell Naruto was on the verge of making a move on Sakura and, whether it was successful or not, he would not be outclassed. He wanted and needed Sakura physically, but it was more than that, an emotion he didn't realise was there before was welling up inside him. He felt the need for this to happen but to not be a one-time thing, to have the woman with him for the rest of his life and to never desert him. This was new...

"Sakura..." Sasuke began as he made his decision, his voice quiet and gentle, provoking soft tingles across Sakura's body. Never had she heard him speak her name with such emotion.

"Sakura-chan, I need to ask you something" Naruto interrupted her child-hood crush, his voice the perfect contrast to the avenger's; rough, ragged and with an underlying hint of a growl. This voice did not send tingles into Sakura; it sent a shockwave of heat through her, to her very core.

"Y-yes...?"

Suddenly both men were mere inches away from her. Even being the skilled shinobi that she was, their movements were impossible to track through the water, the only telltale sign being the soft hiss of reeds disturbed by the wind of their passage.

"May I?" The two spoke in sync and, as if in some sort of prior agreement, leaned further in until millimetres separated their lips from her skin.

Sakura knew exactly what they were asking. She was shocked. Never in a million years had she expected to be the subject of her team-mates appreciation! She had thought about it, quite extensively, in the privacy of her own home, but never had she thought it would actually happen. And to have them both at once! Utterly unbelievable.

"... Yes. Oh sweet Kami, yes."

These were the words they had been waiting for, hoping for. Naruto growled again softly, an animalistic sound that made Sakura shiver and set Sasuke into motion, his lips closing the gap and moving to her exposed throat and neck.

Naruto leaned in and softly, almost tentatively pressed his lips against hers. She was drawn in by the mixed sensations, the heady aroma of Naruto; rich spice and something musky and undeniable male. She reflexively tangled fingers into his damp locks, scratching at his scalp in an attempt to push him closer, to taste him more thoroughly as she slipped a small pink tongue between his ravenous lips and began to explore.

The blonde allowed her dominance for a moment before battling and taking over, flicking out his longer organ and allowing himself to taste and explore Sakura fully. He was spice. She was sugary sweet, floral and feminine. He was enamoured instantly with such a taste. Sakura moaned lightly into the kiss.

Meanwhile, Sasuke had been working down her throat and neck to suckle softly on the hollow of her collar bone. His work elicited a small sigh of appreciation from otherwise occupied lips. Not to be outdone by his rival, the young man grazed his teeth lightly over the sensitive area, marring the skin and marking the girl as his own. This earned a more hearty sound from Sakura; she pushed up against him, trying to experience the two separate sensations fully.

The men swapped positions suddenly, leaving Sakura reeling in the wake of their speed. She gasped at the new tastes and feelings that made themselves known to her befuddled head. Sasuke tasted of mint and fresh-air, a clean, crisp taste that matched his fastidious personality perfectly, as did Naruto's.

Sasuke pulled back from her bruised lips for a moment, in need of air.

"We should move to the bank... It'll be easier to... reach." Sasuke panted, sending the pink-haired kunoichi a heated look from beneath heavy lids. Naruto expressed his assent by tightening his hold on the woman and leaping from the water, loath to break contact with her. Sasuke followed closely, joining their lips again upon landing.

Sakura jumped slightly as a hand, mysterious in origin, snaked its way to her chest, cupping one breast through thin material and massaging the mound gently.

"Ng- Naruto!" The cherry-blossom cried out in reprimand for the blonde's supposed forward actions.

"Mmmmm?" Said man lifted his head slowly from his work at her neck and looked at her through heavily lidded eyes.

The offending hand gave a light squeeze before pinpointing her hardened nipple through the cloth. She gasped once more as a light chuckle rose from the dark head above her.

"Sasuke?"

"What, no kun? Gee Saku-chan, you'd think that in such a... compromising position, the least you could manage is the proper suffix" The avenger lifted his lips from hers and smirked down at her, shifting his body to reveal a long-fingered, pale hand fondling her breast.

Her revealed position, embarrassment at a false accusation and the Sasuke's newly adopted nickname for her became too much for the girl. A scarlet blushing spread from her cheeks all the way to the top of her chest. She hissed gently at the two boys and, utilising her superior chakra control, flipped the trio over so that she was straddling the two, effectively pinning them.

"Okay you two, listen up. Here are the ground rules for this little... encounter. We only go as far as each party agrees, no pushing the boundaries of personal limits-" Here she glared at Naruto, who merely smirked, showing his pointed teeth in a slightly feral grin "- and both of you have to promise me right now that this isn't just because of the bikini. I want a vow from you both that this is not just a one-time thing. I love you both too much to see this as a simple fuck; I won't risk our friendship for that." Her speech finished, Sakura slumped slightly, clearly affected by the emotion her words carried.

Both men looked at one another and, in unspoken agreement, rose in unison to brush a single, feather light kiss against each of the cherry-blossom's cheeks. The tenderness of this gesture alone spoke volumes but it was Naruto who fully abolished her doubts.

"We could never think of this that way Sakura, whatever happens will happen but we vow that this is not just a wont. There's something in you we both see Sakura-chan, something we both need and can't live without. This is just the beginning..."

And with that, the boys pulled their team-mate back on top of them, folding her into their arms and pressing chaste kisses along every bit of skin they could reach. Their previous frantic rush; gone, but the nigh unbearable heat between the three still very much present.

Sooo, you've noticed that there's not actually any sex so far... well, never fear! The hot-stuff will come, I assure you. It's just that the chapter was already quite long and I really wanted to get something uploaded for you beautiful people... please don't hurt me!

The story should be done in another one of two chapters so not too far now...

Love to you all!
