WARNING: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS

The Summer dress

Deidara had been taking photos all morning while everyone else did their own thing. Itachi was in the kitchen getting himself a drink, until he the sound of barefoot footsteps in the hallway running. He had a feeling about who it was and walked quickly to the hallway. His hunch was right. It was Sakura. She was holding a bag of clothes, blushing like crazy.

"Sakura?"

Sakura looked up startled.

"What's wrong?"

She smiled while still blushing. "I'm ok…I'm… I'm j-just gonna help Deidara with his next photoshoot."

And with that she quickly ran up the stairs. Itachi felt uneasy. He turned at walked outside to Deidara who was in the garden near the pool.

Deidara was looking through the photos on his camera. He then saw Itachi walking fast towards him. He didn't look happy.

"Deidara, Sakura said she's helping you out with your shoot…"

Deidara could feel himself going into a cold sweat. He knew asking Sakura was a bad idea.

"What are you making her do?"

Now he was starting to sweat, he brought his hands up as if to remind Itachi to stay calm while he spoke.

"Look… It's just a few shoots and then that's it. It's nothing extreme…"

Itachi waited patiently for his friend's explanation; recalling the bag she was holding. "And what is it exactly is she gonna be wearing in this shoot Deidara?"

"…a summer dress"

A summer dress? That's it? Why does it feel like that's not it?

Deidara continued. "Don't worry, it's long. It goes down, below her knees…"

He could see Itachi still looking unsure. He sighed. "Look, if you feel that strong against it, you could help me with it. Like a supervisor. Just you and me will be seeing Sakura in her summer dress. Ok?"

Itachi still felt unsure but it was better than leaving his girlfriend alone with Deidara, whose always been someone with a question mark about whether he liked men or women. Either way, he was not leaving Sakura alone with him, besides, Itachi was curious to see what Sakura looked in the Summer dress.

"Come on Sakura! Un! You ready?" Deidara waved at Sakura as she made her way down the stairs. She was wearing a dressing gown (which she was clutching onto) and was bare footed. She ran on her tiptoes on the grass towards to 2 men.

It was time to start the shoot. Itachi stood close by as Deidara directed Sakura on what to do and how to pose.

"I want you to walk on the edge of the pool opposite us, but walk slowly, we don't want you to slip".

"O-ok"

"Un. Relax. Just be natural."

Sakura nodded but it was still obvious she was nervous about being Deidara's 'model'. She made her way to the other side of the pool and took off the dressing gown which she then placed it on one of the chairs by the pool.

Itachi's eyes widened. The dress was halter necked, buttoned in the middle all the way down, with lines on the side which brought out Sakura's curves. It flowed down to her knees. But the one thing which shocked Itachi the most was the colour of the summer dress. It was white. Sakura looked gorgeous in it, but it pissed him off that Deidara was gonna be taking photos on her. Itachi took a deep breath and relaxed. Deidara noticed.

"She looks beautiful doesn't she?"

Itachi looked at Deidara as he got his camera ready. "It really brings out her pink hair. Un."

Itachi just looked back at Sakura who was now looking back at him. She was blushing, and her shoulders looked tense. He realised that she must be wondering what he thinks of her new look. Itachi didn't know how to tell her she looked great without getting Deidara's teasing. He gave her a thumbs up.

Sakura blinked and laughed. Itachi mentally face palmed.

really?…a thumbs up…way to go genius…

Deidara called out to Sakura to start walking. As Sakura walked alongside the pool, she had no idea where to look. The camera? The path she was on? The pool? Without realising it, she looked at Itachi; who was standing behind Deidara. He could see that she was struggling where to look. He couldn't help but smile at her. This made Sakura smile back and blush.

SNAP

"There we go! Like I said be natural! Keep going!"

Sakura turned around as she was at the end of the pool and walked back.

Itachi suddenly noticed the straps on the back of her dress. They were crossed with one another like a corset, only underneath was showing bare skin. If it wasn't for those straps, the dress would have been backless.

It took a few laps of the pool to take some good pictures. Sakura started walking with her arms behind herself with her hands clamped together as she gazed at the water in the pool. Sakura eventually started thinking more about other things and stopped taking notice that of the snapping sounds of the camera.

During the shoot, Itachi couldn't help but let his mind wonder as he watched Sakura walk beside the pool in that gorgeous white dress; recalling how sexy her back looked in the corset like straps. He couldn't remember seeing any signs of any bra straps. Was she even wearing one? With that thought in mind he looked at Sakura; realising she was now standing, just looking back. Her eyes were half open; she was biting her lip while staring at Itachi. This startled him. He knew when she made those eyes it meant one thing. He turned his eye direction to Deidara; trying to get Sakura to realise they weren't alone so nothing could happen.

Sakura simply sat down and dangled her legs into the water. Itachi continued watching her as she looked at the reflections in the water and started undoing the first button on her dress. He took a huge gulp. Sakura looked up at Itachi and smiled as she undid the next button. Itachi told himself to look at Deidara to see if he was seeing what he was seeing but he just couldn't look away. Why the hell would you?! Sakura then stopped after undoing a third button which was around the lower half of her breasts. Suddenly she lifted herself up with her arms, leaned forward and then dropped herself into the pool. Itachi gasped. He ran and dropped to his knees at the edge of the pool, looking for her. He leaned down and noticed the dress floating by itself in the water…

He looked down to see Sakura surfacing in front of him. The up thrust of the water made Sakura just about touch Itachi's lips as she hit the surface. She whispered Itachi… Itachi…

"ITACHI!"

Itachi blinked. He looked at Sakura who was sat by the pool with one leg in the water with the other bent. He rubbed his forehead.

Wow that daydream felt so real!...

Deidara grinned teasingly. "You doing ok there buddy?". Itachi turned around to hide the red on his face and possibly other things such as his nosebleed.

"Ok! That's it!"

Sakura breathed out the air she didn't even realise she was holding in. Itachi sighed as well, relieved that the shoot was over…

"Ok on to the next part!"

…huh?

Both looked at Deidara star struck. Deidara looked confused as to what the fuss was about.

"Hahahaha! Hey Don't worry there's just this part and then that's it! Un!"

Isn't that what you said before?

Sakura didn't want to be rude and say 'no, I don't really want to do anymore, I'm tired' so she just smiled and said "oh..er ok sure". Itachi could see that Sakura was getting tired from the shoot surprisingly, but he respected her choice. He would make sure Deidara would pay for it later though. As they got ready for the next part of the shoot, the next sentence which came out of Deidara's mouth would forever echo in their memories…

"Ok Sakura for this next bit, I want you to jump in the pool"

The look of horror and confusion on Sakura and Itachi's faces were an understatement. Sakura was the first to speak.

"Sorry, what?"

Deidara could feel his back burning thanks to Itachi's glare. He didn't dare to turn around.

"I-its ok. I just want a few shots of you on top of the water, like stepping on it, but of course the only way to do that is to jump. My camera can take multiple shots in a second so you don't have to jump again and again. Un."

Sakura thought there was no harm in that. What bothered her though was when she got out of the water, the white dress will be see through…and she's not wearing a bra underneath…She blushed at the thought of Itachi and Deidara seeing.

Deidara took a deep breath; prepping himself for his next, most daring and possibly his last request… ever.

"Aaaaand…. If it's alright with you Sakura… I'd like a picture or two of you walking out of the water…"

Sakura froze. Itachi stepped in. enough was enough. "I think the pictures you have are more than enough right?"

Deidara looked back; still feeling the burning on his back. He could see by Itachi's expression that he was taking things too far. "… alright don't… worry about then... We'll just do the jump shoot and end it there…"

Sakura felt relief but at the same time guilt. Itachi could tell his friend's little guilt trip in the sound of his voice. Sneaky little… She thought about what she could do to make everyone happy. As she looked at the water's reflection, an idea popped in her head.

"Deidara!"

Both men looked towards Sakura; waving her hand at Deidara to come over. He looked at Itachi for a moment and then made his way to her on the other side of the pool.

Itachi watched Sakura whisper in Deidara's ear. Deidara made a confused expression while Sakura's cheeks turned red.

Deidara walked back to Itachi and adjusted the camera he was holding to get ready for the shoot.

Looks like they are going through with it. The damn guilt trip must have worked.

Itachi looked at Sakura with a confused expression. Sakura simply smiled and mouthed some words which he couldn't make out.

"Alright! We're ready Sakura! Un!"

Sakura took a deep breath; feeling nervous about getting the jump right. She only had one shot at this. No pressure.

"On the count to 3 you jump. Remember, it needs to look like you're just taking a step on the water. Un!"

"O-OK!"

Sakura had a vivid image in her mind of what she thinks the photo should look like, but it was still nerve wracking".

"1... 2… 3… JUMP!"

Sakura jump forward over the water; lifting her dress up a bit as she placed her left foot on top of the water. To her it was going in slow motion…

SNAP, SNAP, SNAP, SNAP, SNAP, SNAP…

…until her big toe touched the water, time then went back to normal and she suddenly descended into the water in a huge splash.

Deidara had to stop himself from looking how the photos turned out, as Sakura swan underwater to the shallow end, it was time for the next part. He had his camera ready.

"Uchiha… you better keep an eye on her…"

Now Itachi was more confused than before. He didn't need Deidara to tell him though. He was watching Sakura swim; the dress flowing with her movements like a mermaid.

As she reached the shallow end of the pool, she brought her head up to the surface for air. She slowly stood up; the water reaching the bottom of her ribcage. Itachi couldn't believe how sexy and downright beautiful she looked, even with just her back facing them.

SNAP, SNAP, SNAP…

wait, I thought he wasn't gonna take these pictures? Was… was this what they were whispering about?... but why were they so secretive about it?

Sakura walked towards the steps; the water now reaching her waist. She took one step out and lifted her right leg and placed her foot on the step which was completely out of the water. she stopped and turned her head back towards Itachi and Deidara but there was only one person she was looking at.

Itachi's eyes widened. Sakura was half way out the water, with that cursed white dress sticking to her and showing everything, the dress had even slipped to show her thigh. Even the outline of her underwear was just about showing. Her pink bubble-gum hair stuck to her face, and her eyes were half lidded, just like in his daydream…

Was this what they were planning? This was why they-

SNAP, SNAP

Seriously? Are you kidding me?!

"Alright! Good job Sakura! That's a wrap!"

Deidara stood up, turned and started looking through the photos on his camera. Itachi was still frozen on the spot; still looking at Sakura. And just like her, she caught him off guard again, by giving him a quick, cheeky wink and then running out of the water, grabbing her dressing gown and running back up the steps leading to the villa.

Once again, Itachi was left frozen on the spot, thanks to Sakura's teasing. He turned to face Deidara as he heard him laugh.

"Hehehehe relax Uchiha, these last few photos are just for you. Her orders" He said as he handed the camera to Itachi to look at.

The photo on the camera screen was a zoom in of Sakura stepping out of the water and looking back. She looked stunning, sexy, amazing. Those words were an understatement.

Itachi handed the camera back to Deidara and walked away. Deidara smiled as he watched Itachi storm towards the villa; having a vague idea what he's up to.

In the downstairs shower…

Sakura leaned against the shower wall panting. She ran as fast as she could to the shower room without slipping or being noticed. She still couldn't believe what she did, she felt so embarrassed and yet empowered.

I did it! I actually did it! I hope they turned out ok? I wonder what Itachi thinks? Heh, he's probably pissed that I teased him agai-

Her thoughts were interrupted as she heard the bathroom door open and shut. She turned to see Itachi panting. He opened the fogged up shower door and quickly shut it. Sakura wanted to yell, but she remembered there were still people in the villa.

"Wha-what the hell are you doing?"

"I could say the same thing" He supported himself with his hands on the wall, trapping Sakura. She watched as the water sprayed on Itachi; soaking his hair and clothes which he never bothered taking off. He gazed into her eyes as she did. She blushed.

"You've still got your clothes on… you-you're gonna ruin them."

"Hmmmm…"

Itachi leaned in and whispered in her ear. "… and you've still got that cursed white summer dress on. You have no idea what you in that dress is doing to me"

She looked down at the dress; she forgot she even had it on.

"Wha-what do you mean?" She could feel Itachi smirking and quietly laughing, slowly turning into a low growl.

"Hmmmmm the things I want to do to you in this dress…"

He suddenly lifted Sakura by her thighs and pressed her against the wall with himself. She could feel his hidden erection. She gasped at the sudden action. She also couldn't help but be turned on more by how sexy her boyfriend looked under the spraying water and still in his clothes. His black checked shirt had a few buttons undone at the top and a few undone at the bottom, revealing the top of his jeans and the V shape his toned muscles made.

Damn!

"Can you feel what you've done to me Sakura? You need to take responsibility"

R-responsibility?

Sakura started moaning as she felt Itachi pecked her on the neck and grinded himself against her.

"I think you need to be punished"

Not yet had they explored the 'punishment' phase of their coupling. Sakura hadn't thought about it much at all, but the way Itachi said it heated her core. It seemed he was as eager to explore this next chapter of their coupling as she was.

Sakura grabbed Itachi's face and kissed him hard as he continued grinding against her. Both moaned in the kiss. They startled their battle for dominance with their tongues. Itachi could see her nipples perking underneath the dress so he ripped opened the top half of the dress. Sakura swung her head back as Itachi started sucking on her left nipple.

"Ah, Oh Itachi, Ah!"

Itachi moved back to kissing and sucking Sakura's neck. She dragged her fingers through Itachi's hair; gasping at how amazing his kisses were on her neck. He undid the last of the buttons on Sakura's dress and it slipped off; making a loud Splat as it hit the shower floor. Neither realised how heavy the wet material was until it was gone. Sakura was now only in her white panties.

Sakura started unbuttoning Itachi's shirt and as she was about to unzip his jeans, he stopped her. He grabbed her shaking hands and placed them up beside her head against the wall. She bit her lip; she wanted him to just have his way with her already, but Itachi had other plans.

He placed Sakura on her feet and grabbed her by the chin. "I think I'll make you wait until tonight to be 'ravished' Enjoy your punishment". He gave her one last kiss on the lips and then walked out the shower.

Sakura was left dazed as she watched Itachi take off his drenched clothes and dried himself off with a towel. He gave her one more teasing smirk and then walked out the room…

…So this was the punishment. Making her all hot and bothered until tonight. Punishment for what though? That sudden kiss she gave him before? Making him daydream naughty things during the photoshoot? (Even though that wasn't completely her fault) The white summer dress?

Yeah… that dress had a lot more power on him than she realised. So now thanks to her teasing she has to wait until tonight to be with Itachi… It was 3:30pm… It was going to be a long afternoon…

Wow! This was a difficult chapter to write. I had an idea on what would happen but it was difficult to actually get it down on paper lol. Didn't realise it was going to take me this long. Once again guys sorry for the long wait. I know from the chapters I've been avoiding a lemon scene, think I'm just nervous about making it good lol but the next chapter will have a lemon scene so I'll do my best. Enjoy and review!
