Chapter nine
Sasuke had woken in the early hours of the morning to the harsh swirling of the wind outside of his window. Instantly he seen the sand storm for what it really was, and that was a sign from the heavens that he was meant to be trapped with Sakura. Having resigned himself to Itachi's plan he was now forced to begin putting it into action. But he just didn't know what to do about sakura; although she had an obvious attraction to him he knew that she was going to be some easy push over like one of his fans. Sakura was her own woman and that meant that she would just melt all over him when he began applying his charms.
So it came as quite a shock to him to find her standing in his room waiting for him after his shower, for a split second he had thought she'd come here to seduce him but then he quickly saw the fright on her face at being stuck with him in the middle of the sand storm, and this made him mad. He had never known a girl to be afraid of him and although he was agreeing to Itachi's plan to hurt her, he suddenly realised that he didn't want her to be frightened of him. Hate him yes but scared no.
"Let me go!" she snapped at him trying to push herself free.
"Calm down sakura" he said soothingly as he held her against his bare chest "I just joking" then he did as she asked and let her go.
Finally free of his arms she gave a sigh of relief, but she still wasn't out of this yet, he might not be touching her but he still had her trapped against the wall and she couldn't stop the images of him pressing her up against it out of her mind.
She tried to shake her head clear "what are we going to do about this?" she said indicating towards the window.
Sasuke sighed as he placed his strong arms across his chest. Sakura couldn't help but watch as his upper body rippled with strength and once more those provocative images rose to the surface of her mind causing a hot flush and making her turn away from him.
"I already told you, we won't be able to leave until this blows itself out, but don't worry" he said grinning at her "if you are concerned about the movie then I suspect that they won't be doing any shooting either, Rupert told me that these things can carry for miles so chances are it will hit the movie set as well."
"oh I didn't think about that" she said realising that she must have looked like a total idiot after running into his room so worried about nothing.
"Don't worry though Rupert thinks that it the storm should be finished by tomorrow morning so we will be able to get back into town then, meanwhile I suggest your find something to do with yourself."
"What am I going to do while I'm stuck in the house all day, I can't even go out to the car to get my work stuff" she complained
Sasuke looked her up and down appreciatively "well if you can't find something on your own then I will have to help you"
Sakura watched those dangerous eyes and tried to ignore the part of her that was saying 'yes please tell me what to do' "don't worry I'm sure I can amuse myself for one day" she said her voice slightly rose as she moved past him.
"I thought that might be the case" he laughed as he let her walk out of the room.
Back into the safety of her own room sakura closed the Door behind her and let her back press against it as she tried to calm her breathing down. She was trying to do what Itachi's had asked but, it was becoming impossible Sasuke didn't ask for anything he just simply took whatever he wanted, and although that appealed to apart of her sakura new that in the long run it would end up hurting her. Was it too much in this day and age to ask for someone to love you, she had never been the type of girl that enjoyed the attentions of many men, in fact that had been one of the reasons she had agreed to marry itachi. He was her friend and she had none that he would always do the right thing by her together their friendship would have made them both very happy in a marriage. But Sasuke was different, he made her feel differently, act differently, one moment she could be so annoyed with him and the next she would be ready to trough away everything to be with him. But she knew that he didn't feel that way, lust yes, but love? Hardly the only real emotion that Sasuke felt towards her was hate and she could do that to herself. She would not pine after a man that didn't want her and she wouldn't settle for anything less than she deserved.
She couldn't do what itachi asked, not if Sasuke came to her with hate in his eyes.
Walking over to her bed she noticed that there were clean cloths on the bed and even though they were a size to big she was glad to get out of her sandy ones.
After cleaning up she decided to head down stairs for breakfast, she found Rupert in the living room reading and he told her to sit with him and he would have his house keeper bring her food in. after a large tray was placed on the table next to her and she had eaten enough food to feed a small army she looked over at her host.
"It was very nice of you to let us stay here the night" she said politely
Rupert placed his book down and smiled at her "anything for my nephew" he said surprising her
Sakura looked at the man shocked "excuse me did you just say nephew?"
"Good lord he hasn't told you yet," he said chuckling "I'm Sasukes uncle. He really can be quiet naughty sometimes don't you agree?"
Sakura was still shocked "I'm sorry I still don't understand how can you be his uncle I thought…?"
"Well I am Sasukes father's brother; I have lived here in morocco for almost five years now, Sasuke sometime comes and visited me when he wants to escape the city life. Did you know that it was his idea to shoot the movie here in morocco they were trying to find somewhere where there was both a harsh desert and lush oasis's"
"No I didn't know that" she said softly as she processed what he had told her, that meant that all last night he had known that they were going in the wrong direction and he had just let her get lost on purpose. "But you didn't say anything last night?"
"That was because Sasuke asked me not to tell you, he didn't want you to know that you were staying under an uchiha roof, he thought that you might disagree with him." The old man laughed heartily
Sakura processed what the man had just told her, of course Sasuke would think that he thought that "so you don't mind that you have a haruno staying with you for a while?"
Rupert laughed "of course not, that stupid feud is all in my brothers head, that why I mainly live here, I've been trying to get away from it for years in fact I quiet frequently stay in your fathers hotels, it gives me a small sense of satisfaction to know that my brother would disapprove."
Sakura couldn't help but laugh along with him, "it is a pity that Sasuke doesn't feel the same way as you" she sighed.
"What are you talking about?" he asked "of course he feels that same way, otherwise he wouldn't have brought you here."
That might have been true before she had deceived him but now all he knew about the haruno's was that they were just a bunch of liars. She didn't know what to say to Rupert so instead she just sat there silently and continued to eat the rest of her breakfast. After while Rupert continued on changing the subject asking her about her family her life and her writing career and they both managed to pass a pleasant morning without Sasuke.
After lunch she decided to take a look around the enormous house and stumbled upon a large inside garden. The room had an enormous domed roof that was made out of glass and sakura could see the sand swirling above her head. Looking around she was amazed to see the many different varieties of plants and flowers that were being grown inside she had never seen anything like it before, she almost felt like she was outside.
Sitting on one of the small benches she looked down into one of the small fish ponds that were situated in the garden and she watched the many coloured fish as they rushed around in the water.
"it's amazing isn't it" said Sasuke as he stood leaning against the door and breaking her peace and quiet, she hadn't seen him since this morning and she had been quite thankful for it. But now he was here she realised that she had missed him a little bit.
"It's incredible" she agreed "I've never seen a garden like this"
Sasuke walked towards her and sat down next to her on the bench "my uncle built this garden for this exact purpose, so that when the storms come you could still feel like you were outside."
"It is a wonderful idea, it is something that my father would like to hear about for his hotels, he is always looking for new ideas" she said thoughtlessly forgetting who she was talking to.
"Of course you would think of it that way, it would be just one more thing that your family has stolen from us!" he snapped standing up.
"Sasuke I didn't mean it like that" she said realising her mistake to late. She stood up if front of him "I didn't mean to upset you"
"Upset?" he asked "how could I not be upset, I found you sitting here in this garden looking like a goddess from old, and I think to myself, who is that beautiful woman? And I almost forget who you are. You do thing to thing to me that no other woman is capable, such things that I have almost lost my mind thinking about you, and you don't even realise. I want you so badly but I can't have you, and you constantly remind me why. Why didn't you tell me who you were when we first met?"
Sakura listened to him rambling her anger welling up inside at his comments, here he was asking her why she lied to him when the reason if right in front of him. "I didn't tell you because I knew that you would react this way. I didn't plan to get involved with you, it was an accident."
"An accident?" he asked dangerously as he quickly calmed down "you think what happened was an accident?" he asked as he took a step towards her. "You think what is between us is an accident?"
Then reaching out he grabbed her wrist which was hanging loosely by her side and brought it up to his lips. Sakura could feel his warm breath on the inside of her wrist, his firm hands not letting her pull away. She felt the tingles run up her arm and then down her body as his soft lips pressed against the soft skin. She felt her body react instantly to his soft kiss, and she tried to pull her hand away from him. But his grip was strong and he forced it to stay between them as he slowly began to make his way up her arm, planting gentle kisses on her soft skin.
She continued to struggle the closer her got, but by the time his lips where at the base of her neck she could feel her body giving in. his kisses moved up her neck and along her jaw, as he let go of her wrist and moved it behind her head his fingers tangled in her hair, while his other moved to pulled her closer towards him and resting on the small of her back.
She couldn't stop herself as she finally felt his lips touch hers, as her body exploded with an unfulfilled need she'd had since they had been interrupted by itachi. Winding her arms around his neck she returned his kiss and melted when she once more felt velvety touch of his tongue in her mouth.
She could feel the muscles of his chest pressed against her through the thin material of her shirt, her nipples hardening as they brushed against him. When his hand reached up under the cloth she didn't stop him and she almost cried with pleasure when the tips of his fingers began gently teasing and cupping her breasts.
Moaning with pleasure she ran her hands down his shoulders and over his hard stomach and to the base of his shirt where she lifted it up. Breaking their kiss her helped her and pulled it off over his head discarding it to the ground.
Finally she could run her finger tips over the toned muscles feeling them beneath her hand. Moving her lips down his neck and to his collar bone she marvelled as his free hand moved over her tight ass, bringing her leg up his body and resting on his hip. After running his hand to her knee he brought it back and cupped her butt pulling her against his groin.
Smoothly he manoeuvred them so that he now sat down sitting on the bench with sakura straddling his lap. Unbuttoning her shirt he watched with delight as her breast fell out for him and he wasted no time in moving his mouth down to them.
She marvelled at the feeling as his warm mouth took turns with each of her nipples his tongue continuing the same rubbing motion from his fingers. Sasuke hands moved from her ass as they began to untie the cord on her pants, sakura was just about to her him when they both heard Rupert's voice calling them in the hall.
"Oh my god!" she said shocked as she suddenly realised what she was doing.
Jumping off him she tried to button her shirt back up but her hands why still shaking and it was impossible, her heart was racing with both need and embarrassment and didn't dare look at Sasuke. The last thing she needed right now was to see that smug look on his face.
Rupert's voice was getting closer as she finally managed to gain control over hands and when the last of her buttons was done up she made her way to the door never once looking at Sasuke. Opening the garden door she stepped out into the hall just in time to see her host.
"Oh there you are I've been trying to find you, the storm has stopped, if you want you should be able make it back into town before night."
Looking back into the garden room she could see through the ceiling the Rupert was indeed right, instead of swirling sand there was now a perfect blue sky. Casing her eyes down she made the mistake of looking at Sasuke, he had managed to put his shirt back on but the look on his face with unlike anything she had ever seen. his dark eyes were devouring her.
Walking up to her he completely ignored his uncle as he looked dangerously in her eyes "we will finish this when we return to the city sakura"
Sakura didn't wait to reply instead she turned on her heal and bolted down the hall, tears streaming down her face. The worst thing was, was that she couldn't wait to finish it either.
