Warning: excess amount of fluff and sex

10 ) Sleepless

Insomnia is a bitch.

Ever since I hit my early mid-twenties, I've had this issue with waking up in the middle of the night and it took forever to get back to sleep.

Since I've been here it's been easier to fall asleep a lot easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.

I fidget. So annoying. I'm wide awake.

I sit up in the bed and stretch my arms. I glance over at the clock and groan. 2am. Lovely.

The other side of the bed stirs. Oops. Guess Kabuto's a light sleeper.

"Can't sleep?" he asks sleepily. Kabuto sits up out of bed to kiss the back of my shoulder. His arms loop around my waist.

"Yeah." I murmur. Kabuto nuzzles my neck softly. I lean into him sighing contently.

Kabuto's hands move to my sides, his thumbs rubbing into my back gently.

"That feels nice."

Kabuto removes his hands from my waist, guiding me down with him as he lays back on the pillow, lifting my tank top off of my body, his hands caressing my bare back.

I smirk. "That feels nicer."

I cover his chest with mine and let his mouth meet with mine in a slow and sleepy kiss.

As we kiss I straddle his hips, my hands moving to his sides, reveling in the feeling of skin on skin.

The kiss ends and our foreheads meet.

"I think I can fix your insomnia." he whispers seductively.

I laugh. "You know not everything can be fixed with sex."

"You need the exercise." murmurs Kabuto with a wink.

"Well...orgasms are a proven sleep aid." I mutter. I lean in for another kiss, this one slightly more heated but still lazy and slow.

His hands move to cup my rear through my panties, lazily pulling them off with my assistance. I did the same with his boxers.

Kabuto's hand move to cup a breast, moaning at the contact when I grind my hips against his length slowly.

Then I break my lips away from his, kissing my way down his chest. I hesitate for a second. I've never given someone a blowjob before.

My gag reflex was always telling me I couldn't. But damn it, I was going to try. I resume kissing down his body, stopping to pay attention to the sensitive skin above his shaft.

Kabuto gasps in pleasure, placing his hands in my hair.

I breathe deeply. I can do this. I can. I put my mouth on the tip. It...tasted like nothing. Maybe I could do this. I take more of him into my mouth, and suck lightly. I couldn't actually get all of him into my mouth, but I did the best that my gag reflex would let me take in and pumped up and down a little.

Kabuto's hands tighten in my hair as I attempt to establish a consistent pace.

After a bit he pulls me off of him, lifting me back to cover his chest, pulling me into a rough kiss.

I close my eyes and hear the hum of the condom jutsu. I break the kiss and sit up, pressing a hand on his abs, taking his length in my other hand. I slowly sink on him, earning a growl from Kabuto as he bucks up to bury himself completely inside me.

I brace myself by placing my hands on his chest as I ride him into oblivion. He reaches to cup both of my breasts into his hands, flicking the nipples lightly with his thumbs.

I start to breathe heavily, speeding up my pace. Kabuto abandons my breasts to move to my rear as I climax. I slow down slightly in the aftermath, but he grips my rear harder, and flips me over so he could take control. Our hips snap together hastily as he chases his own release, which happens exactly when he pushes me over the edge again.

Kabuto pulls out of me and I drape myself against him bonelessly.

"Are you tired now?" he whispers as he catches his breath.

"Well, I'm definitely more relaxed." I murmur.

"Good. Just close your eyes and relax. You'll be asleep in no time."

I fall asleep within five minutes.
