Chapter 10:

Of Scents and Shivers

Sasuke felt incredible. He shivered under Naruto's touch as the other man's shaking hands caressed his face and moved down to grip his shoulders. Pleasure raced through his body, and he didn't care that what they were doing was wrong. All he wanted was more; he couldn't get enough of the blonde's mouth on his, the feverish skin on his own.

He had never been in a situation like this before, and suddenly he knew what all the fuss was about. With a growl he gripped Naruto's hips and flipped them both over, until Naruto was flat on his desk. He ignored Naruto's faint hiss of pain and the sound of pens and papers clattering to the floor; instead he descended on the blonde, conveying with his mouth and his hands what he didn't want to say out loud. There was no room for talking here. Sasuke let his body speak for him, the groans and whimpers of his partner like music to his ears.

With a growl, Sasuke pulled out a knife, yanked Naruto's hands above his head, and pinned his sleeves securely to the wooden surface. He pulled the other man's headband down over his eyes, and ripped the zipper of his vest down, running his hands under Naruto's shirt and across his rapidly moving chest.

He placed small, rapid kisses up and down the younger man's chest and stomach. He didn't know what he was doing, really; he just wanted to taste and feel as much as he could. The want was tearing him up inside, and the small noises Naruto was making were driving him wild.

Naruto panted and bit his lip. Sasuke gasped as the blonde wrapped shaking legs around Sasuke's hips and arched up off of the desk, practically begging for more friction between them.

Sasuke cocked an eyebrow, and Naruto's face flared as he met the Uchiha's sharp gaze. His face flared and his left arm jerked as if he wanted to punch Sasuke. His eyes widened as he jerked his arm again, harder. "Why won't it…"

"Seal."

"You bastard."

Sasuke resumed his actions on Naruto's stomach, running the tip of his tongue along the hem of the blonde's pants. Naruto gasped, and Sasuke enjoyed the way his stomach undulated rapidly beneath him. He rested his head on the other man's crotch and sighed, taking in Naruto's reaction as he was teased.

They were suddenly interrupted as a few sharp raps sounded on the door. Then, to both their horror, it began to open. Naruto wanted to groan loudly as the Uchiha's closeness disappeared. With the headband pulled over his eyes, he was practically blind; it worried him. Sasuke cursed and flung his hand over Naruto's heaving form. He made several rapid hand signs.

"What're you—"

"Quiet! Just trust me." Sasuke hissed, and whirled back around as Kiba entered. Kiba…with his sharp canine senses. Shit.

Sasuke struggled to look nonchalant and prayed that he didn't look as disheveled as he felt. And that the folds of his clothing would hide his raging hard-on.

Kiba paused for a second as he entered Sasuke's office, making no outward reaction other than a slight cock of his head. But when he met Kiba's eyes, and saw the surprise and blatant disbelief shining back at him, he knew he and Naruto were caught. Despite any excuses he could make on the contrary, Kiba's nose could not be deceived.

They looked at each other for what seemed like hours, until Kiba finally spoke. "Where's the idiot?"

"Not here."

"You sure about that?"

"…Inuzuka."

The coldness in Sasuke's tone seemed to remind Kiba that he wasn't talking to one of his peers. Kiba's apprehensive expression turned to one of neutrality, and he held out a scroll he had brought with him.

"Here is your new ninken. Her name is Mika. You and your…partner should get to know her."

Sasuke's eyes narrowed at the other man's emphasis on "partner". He also didn't miss how Kiba's eyes slowly travelled to the desk behind him.

"Thank you," he managed to say. "You may go."

Kiba made haste on his way out the door.

Naruto panted from his spot on Sasuke's desk, immobilized and feeling very, very used. He hated how exposed he felt, and was practically burning under Kiba's gaze which he knew was trained on him. But why the hell wasn't he saying anything?! What, did the Inuzuka see shinobi fucking their partners on desks every day?

He was so humiliated he almost wanted to cry. He certainly wasn't in the mood anymore. And then he heard the door close signaling Kiba's departure. A hand pulled his headband away from his eyes, and Sasuke's dark form loomed over him again. The Uchiha waved a hand over him, and before Naruto could say anything, Sasuke cut in.

"I cast an invisibility jutsu over you, but I don't think Kiba was fooled."

Naruto shivered as he realized that Sasuke's hand was resting on his thigh, and the man was so close that his scent was washing over him. He felt something stir within him again but the sick feeling of embarrassment had not yet left, and he wasn't sure anymore of his feelings for Sasuke.

It hit him suddenly, how close he had been to…to…his mind could hardly wrap itself around the idea. Being fucked by Sasuke. Sleeping with Sasuke. He felt like he hardly knew who his best friend was anymore. Who he was. He needed to get out. He needed to think.

Sasuke seemed to sense his reluctance and yanked out the kunai that trapped the blonde's arms to his desk. "Naruto…"

"I just need some time. I don't…I don't know…"

Sasuke didn't say anything, but his hand continued to move along his thigh, dangerously close to where Naruto did and didn't want it to be. He sat up and placed a hand on Sasuke's arm, gripping the fabric there. In response, Sasuke leaned forward, closing the distance between them. Then his tongue was in Naruto's mouth and his hands were holding him close and so, so tight and Naruto entwined his fingers in the Uchiha's hair and lost himself in the moment.

It was over too soon and they broke apart, gasping for breath. Naruto sheepishly pulled his pants back on correctly and ran a shaking hand through his hair.

Sasuke just looked at him, his expression unreadable. Naruto ignored the screaming desire to touch him, and headed for the door. "I'll be back, I need to go, uh, check the mission roster."

He waited for Sasuke to nod in reply, then shut the door softly behind him as he went.
