Sasuke quietly and carefully picked Sakura up out of the car. He closed the door with his foot and carried her up to the house.

"Master Sasuke" an older maid called, but lowered her voice after seeing the sleeping pinkette in his arms.

Sasuke nodded then entered the house. He walked up a grand staircase to the large double doors right at the top. The maid opened them for him and Sasuke set Sakura down on the larger-than-king sized bed. He then walked out of the room and closed the double doors. When he took a better look around he saw just how much Christmas-spirit had polluted his house. Christmas wasn't exactly his favorite holiday. It usually meant tons of business parties where he'd have to formally meet his father's fellow co-workers and potential business partners. But for Sakura's sake he'd make it special.

"I hope she isn't another one of you conquests young man" the old maid reprimanded him as if he were her own son, "You don't come home for months then show up with a strange woman just like last time!"

"She's not Karin…" Sasuke muttered angrily.

This maid wasn't his mother, but she did always keep him in line. Karin was also the last girl Sasuke had brought home. He almost considered getting in a relationship with her until she up and left one night, emptying a couple thousand dollars from his cash stash in his nightstand. He never saw her after that, but he knew she was somewhere local. She wouldn't waste the money she stole on traveling to somewhere else.

Sasuke ignored the maid's rambling and lecturing as he strode down the steps to the kitchen. He took a plain drinking glass and put it on the counter. When he walked over to the refrigerator he wasn't surprised when he opened it. It was full of eggnog. The servants loved it. They'd gather at night sometimes when they were done with their chores and they'd drink it. Sasuke wasn't a fan of eggnog, he preferred sparkling apple cider for the fall and winter holidays. He closed the fridge door and decided he'd just have some water. He turned the faucet on and filled up his glass.

While he was chugging its contents down he heard the maid yell at him, "Master Sasuke! How many times must I tell you that drinking tap water is bad for you?"

Sasuke wasn't in the mod. He just twitched his eyebrow while he walked upstairs. He was about to close the door when he stopped suddenly. He looked over his shoulder and noticed the maid was still rambling, so he told her "I need your servants to go last second Christmas shopping, and there's something special I need you to get for me. I don't trust any other servant to get it for me."

Sakura woke up the next morning in a haze. She had a serious migraine and she felt emotionally hollow. She stumbled around not knowing where she was. When she managed to find her way towards the double doors when she accidentally lost her balance and fell forwards, busting through the doors and landing on her side.

"Oh my!" shouted a maid who was literally inches from the door.

Sakura just growled and tried to pull herself back up to her feet. She was about to ask where she was when the haze slightly cleared and she saw the Christmas decorations everywhere. The vivid red and green colors caught her attention and momentarily filled her emotionless, hollow body with the feeling of contempt. She clasped her hands to her chest then realized she wasn't wearing the same outfit. She looked down and saw that she was in a Santa negligee. She blushed furiously then turned to go back into the room and change into something more modest, but she stopped when someone spoke to her.

"I see you're finally up…" a husky, seductive voice whispered in her ear.

Sakura felt shivers shoot down her spine as the region between her legs began to tingle. She didn't turn around because she knew who it was, but a pair of strong arms wrapped around her.

"G-good morning" she stuttered.

Sasuke smirked against the skin of her neck. He loved having this control over her. Just his voice could make her want him.

"It isn't morning" he told her flatly.

Sakura thought for a moment then asked, "Then what time is it?"

Sasuke smirked against her skin as he said "Christmas."

Sakura scowled and twitched in slight annoyance at his smart ass remark then muttered, "I meant the hour."

"It's almost 1 in the afternoon" he whispered with an undertone of amusement.

Sakura spun around, still in his arms, and poked his chest hissing, "Why didn't you wake me up? Gaara was supposed to call me! Now I'll have to explain to him why I didn't answer because I'm at your mansion! Do you want him to hate you? Because it sure seems that way!"

Sasuke let her go wiping a frustrated hand over his face. She always had a bad habit of ruining the mood he set. He wanted Christmas to be romantic for her, hoping she'd forget the sorrow from yesterday, but instead she was stressing over something he knew wasn't important. What he hadn't told her was that he heard her cell phone ringing early this morning and answered it for her. He had already informed Gaara about the situation and he didn't seem the least bit mad. Sasuke also figured that Gaara would inform Sassori, and he was the nicer sibling. Gaara was the only one who would ever get angry at Sasuke, because he was always stern like that. Sassori was the more carefree, 'you-only-live-once' kind of sibling. He kept tabs on Sakura, but never stepped out of the shadows and confronted her on anything, unlike Gaara, who felt it was his job to do so.

Sasuke decided enough was enough when he saw her frantically searching for her phone yelling, "Where is it? I know I left it here!"

Sasuke pulled the phone out of the pocket of his navy blue pajama pants asking, "You mean this?"

Sakura stomped over and angrily snatched the phone from the Uchiha's hand hissing, "Why did you have it?"

"Because it went off and you were asleep."

"Did you answer it?" she asked frantically.

"Hn"

"And"

"He doesn't care" Sasuke said flatly looking off to the side in a bored manner.

"Who?" She asked pretty sure that she knew the answer.

"Gaara"

"Oh…" she said as she set the phone on the nightstand and let the awkwardness of the situation set in.

Sasuke rubbed the back of his neck before asking, "You going downstairs?"

Sakura thought for a moment, and then realized she didn't have any objections, so she shrugged then walked back over to him and followed him back down the stairs. When she looked to her left she saw the living room with an at least 10 foot tall Christmas tree. The ceilings were 15 feet high, so it was able to contain the tree perfectly. There were two simple burgundy couches that complemented the white carpet. She sat on one of the couches then pulled a blanket over her bare legs. Sasuke lifted up her legs and snuck under the blankets with her. He gestured to a few of his house staff and in a few moments a tray holding a metal teapot and two mugs was placed in front of them.

"Spoiled brat" Sakura growled under her breath, but Sasuke heard it.

Smirking, Sasuke replied, " It's peppermint hot chocolate. I was told it was your favorite."

Sakura made a scrunched facial expression that was a mixture of a scowl and a pout then blushed, not knowing how to answer. After she took a sip of the specialty hot chocolate she let a soft "mmmmmm" escape her lips. The delicious aroma added to how wonderful it tasted. The chocolate seared her taste buds while it left a minty aftertaste after she'd swallowed. It left her throat tingling with peppermint goodness.

"I take it you like it" he stated flatly only to be answer by another "mmmmm"

Sasuke smirked while shaking his head. He didn't know what he was supposed to do with this girl.

'Cherish her…' his inner self thought.

After the hot chocolate was completely gone, Sasuke got her attention then pointed to the tree. Sakura examined the star at the top then let her eyes wander downward until they landed on the presents at the bottom. She was overwhelmed when she saw them. So much so that she gasped at him.

"You didn't!" She screeched, "I didn't get you anything!"

Sasuke gave her a knowing smirk then told her, "You didn't have to."

Sakura felt bad seeing all these presents under the tree for her, and she felt so horrible knowing that she didn't get Sasuke anything for Christmas.

"I can't accept these…" she told him in a sad whisper.

"Why not?" he asked dryly, but thoroughly confused.

"Because I didn't get you anything" she finally replied.

"That doesn't matter," he told her flatly, "You can just be my Christmas present."

"B-but I was already your birthday present!" she stuttered.

"You never get old" he said to her with a suave tone, wrapping his arms around her petite frame.

Sakura's face was crimson red from his blunt statements. She wasn't exactly sure how to react.

"I can just take you out later and you can get me something if you want" he told her.

Sakura nodded. She wasn't too happy with herself at the moment. Not only did she blow off Christmas shopping, but Sasuke had seen her in her most vulnerable state. She hated people seeing her when she was weak, even her two brothers.

"You going to open your presents anytime soon?" he asked yawning.

"Uh… yeah, I guess" Sakura managed to leak out as she walked over towards the Christmas tree flooded with wrapped boxes.

Sakura picked up the first box that was wrapped in red with a gold ribbon. When she opened it she put her hand over her mouth to stifle a gasp. It was a rather small and flat object, she hadn't expected much, but she was dead wrong. In her hand, she was holding a small, framed pictured. Sasuke's mother had taken the picture back at Sasuke's birthday party at the main house. Sasuke's father talking business with someone in the background, Itachi and Shisui holding his Uchiha boxers above his head with mischievous smiles and Sasuke just standing with his weight shifted on one leg, standing there indifferently with his arms crossed looking at the camera as Sakura stood next to him with her hand over her mouth and her face rosy red from trying not to laugh at the antics his brother and cousin, displaying the undergarments for everyone to admire. She still had a hard time not laughing

"That's from my mom. She thought you would like it" Sasuke stated somewhat embarrassed in a whisper.

Sakura couldn't say anything, but laughed as she just nodded and walked over to one of the side tables next to the couch and set the picture down. After she'd looked at it for some time, she walked back over to the tree. She bent down and picked up a rather large box wrapped in silver with a red bow. She almost thought there was nothing in it until she shook it and heard something bopping around inside. When she lifted the top off she saw keys to something. When she reached down and got them, she held them up and jingled them at Sasuke with an inquiring expression.

"Take a look outside" he said flatly as he pointed to a window directly above him.

Sakura walked over then climbed over Sasuke to stand on the top of the burgundy sofa. She bent the blinds of the window and almost fainted. There in the large driveway, was a magenta colored Lexus SUV.

"You bought me a CAR?" she shrieked as she fell and landed on Sasuke's lap.

"I can take it back if you don't want it" he told her with a smirk.

Sakura blushed when she realized she was in his lap then stuttered, "no no no no no, I didn't mean it like that."

"Then what did you mean?"

"Well isn't this a lot of trouble?"

"No."

"Really?" she asked surprised.

"Yes."

So it is?"

"No."

"Which is it?" She yelled, "Yes or no?"

Sasuke face-palmed himself then hissed, "It's not any trouble Sakura."

Sakura took a deep breath then went back over to the tree. The other presents she got were a brand new, newest model cell phone, a pair of flowery slippers, a diamond necklace, multiple beautiful dresses like cocktail dresses for business parties, a new iPod with 160GB, brand-name clothing, sweets, and toe-socks. As well as a plasma screen TV for her dorm room. She'd gotten several other numerous presents, but they weren't as important as the last one.

"You missed one" he said after Sakura had thrown all the wrapping paper away that was strewn about the living room.

"What do you mean?" she asked looking under the tree and seeing no more presents for her to open.

Sasuke shook his head then got off the sofa and walked over to the tree and pointed to what she thought was an ornament, but when she took a closer look she saw that it was a little black box with a red ribbon on the top. She carefully removed the box from dangling off one of the tree limbs and opened it. She felt like everything came to a halt. Her stomach came up to her throat. Her mind went blank. Her breath hitched. She had no idea what was going on. Sasuke could tell she was panicking, so he went ahead and got down on one knee. Sakura looked away from the ring and at Sasuke who was kneeling in front of her already.

"Will you marry me?-"

"Why?" she asked suddenly with a rather confused tone of voice.

She barely let him finish popping the question. Sasuke was utterly caught off guard and didn't know if that was a yes or a no.

"Because I love you" he said after a few moments of silence.

"Why did it take you so long to answer?" she asked skeptically.

"Because most girls aren't bratty and obnoxious enough to ask a question back, they either say yes or no."

Sakura crossed her arms looking down at him. She had a look of uncertainty on her face as she held her left hand out towards him.

"Does this mean you say yes?" he asked with one brow raised.

Sakura gulped and looked Sasuke in the eyes and nodded.

"I want you to say it" he narrowed his eyes at her.

"Yes, I'll marry you…" she whispered with some form of emotion that she didn't know she could feel.

Sasuke smiled and put the exquisite ring on her finger then he stood up and placed his hands on the sides of her arms, pulling her in for a gentle kiss on the forehead before wrapping his arms the rest of the way around her and holding her to him.

"Sasuke" Sakura whispered.

"Hn"

"You can let go now."

Sasuke recoiled his arms to his sides and headed back towards the burgundy couch.

"You still haven't given me my Christmas present" he snidely informed her with a smirk plastered on his features.

Sakura flushed as she felt his gaze on her, "What?" she asked.

Sasuke shook his head as he motioned for her to come sit in his lap on the couch. She gave him a skeptical look as she made her way over to the sofa. Sasuke had one leg bent leaning against the backrest of the couch, and the other was off the couch with his foot flat on the ground. His back was against the armrest and one arm was supporting the weight of his head while the other was draped across his knee that was against the backrest of the couch. Sakura eventually climbed up on the sofa and into his arms. She rested her head and the palms of her hands on his chest as he draped his arms around her waist.

Sakura knew full well what his intentions were, so she bit her lip before asking, "What now?"

Sasuke smirked as he aligned his mouth to her ear then huskily whispered, "Let me worry about that."

Sakura felt shivers run down her spine as she felt Sasuke's lips slide from her ear to her neck. Sasuke fixed their position so she was straddling his lap. Once he'd heated up her skin from lightly kissing it, he ghosted his lips over her pulse then bit down. Sakura did her best to keep a moan from escaping her lips, but wound up whimpering.

Sasuke smirked then huskily ground out, "Just let me handle it, you just relax and enjoy it this time."

"But I'm s-supposed to be your p-present" she whimpered as Sasuke continued to tease her neck with his tongue.

Sasuke spoke against her neck saying, "It's more fun to play with you."

"So I-I'm just your C-Christmas toy?" she asked stifling a gasp.

"Hn" he answered her as her moved his lips to hers.

She reveled in the kiss before they parted and he grunted, "now stop talking."

Sakura was about to say something back, but his lips crashed back onto hers and she gave into the silence. She was mesmerized by the way his moist lips seemed to be molded just for hers. The only noise she heard was the light sucking and quiet clicking of their lips dancing together. Then he leaned forward, causing Sakura to be placed on her back.

She wrapped her arms around his neck, but then he stopped and told her, "No, you're not doing anything, remember?"

Sakura just scowled but complied none the less by letting him place her hands above her head and hold them there. After he was sure that she wouldn't do anything, he slipped her flannel shirt that she'd changed into off of her. To his surprise she wasn't wearing a bra, so her supple breasts were completely exposed to his wandering eyes. He wanted to go directly to the source of both their desires, but he want to have fun with her for as long as he could contain his excitement. His first act of torture started when he ghosted his lips over her bare shoulders and occasionally let his tongue slip out from in between his lips. Sakura's back arched every time his warm tongue came out to greet her exposed skin. Sasuke slowly traveled directly down the valley in between her breasts, down to her naval, and back up again. Sakura thought it sheer torture, Sasuke thought of it as pure entertainment. Her facial expression had a wide variation and the noises she made were music to his ears. Sasuke was about to reach for her pants, when he realized that they were still in the living room. He cursed himself for his impatience, but he improvised instead.

"Come on" he said standing up while gesturing her to straddle him.

She quirked her brow, but got up and did as he requested and he groped her butt and crashed his lips onto hers as he slowly walked up the stairs to his bedroom. Luckily it was the first one directly at the top. When he opened the doors he was careful not to alert Sakura to their movement. He seemed to have successfully put her in a trance from his kisses. He closed the door with his foot and set Sakura down on the bed with him on top of her.

Sakura was shocked by the sudden soft cushioning underneath her and asked, "Where are we?"

Sasuke smirked and chuckled, "I guess I am that good."

Sakura scowled at his comment, but she was able to look around and tell that they were now in his room. She knew that the Uchiha had a talent for kissing women senseless, but she didn't know he was quite that adept at it. All she knew was that she was in for it now. She was currently lying on his bed topless with no Christmas present to give him, besides herself, which is what she guessed he wanted. Sasuke reached down and slowly divested her of her flannel pajama pants then threw them to the side of the room. After he was happy with where he'd thrown the pinkette's pants he quickly stripped down to his boxers. Sakura didn't know what the Uchiha was planning to do next, but she knew that she was in for a long night. The only obstacle stopping Sasuke now was Sakura's red lace thong. He recognized it as the one that she wore on his birthday when she was his birthday present.

"How do you want me to take it off?" he asked her seductively, but when she shuddered and didn't answer he took matters into his own hands and said "I see how it is."

Sasuke crawled down the covers so his mouth was aligned on the little diamond shaped bead in the middle of the red lace covering the only land to be conquered. He grazed the hem across her waist with his lips then he lightly grasped the middle and pulled the underwear the rest of the way down with his teeth. Sakura couldn't put to words what his tortures were doing to her in that moment. She had no idea that he was capable of this kind of seduction. It was almost as if it was a game to him and he had to beat his own high score. Sakura almost gasped when she felt his tongue caress her clit between her folds. Sasuke didn't make it stop there he began to run circles around it while one of his free hands reached up to grab one of her nipples and slowly massaged it. Then he crawled back up and mouthed her neck while his thumb took over where his tongue was. Eventually he started to have two of his fingers on his other hand slip inside her folds. Sakura arched her back as she felt the first of penetration of the whole torture session.

"S-Sasuke!" she gasped.

Sasuke took her gasp as the signal to continue his ministrations further. Eventually he was hovering over her on his forearms and the peak of his manhood was poking at Sakura's seeping sex. Sakura clenched the pillow cover knowing what was coming, before she knew it Sasuke's lips were on hers in a distraction while his length pierced her to the core. Sakura still shook from the mixture of pain and pleasure. She still wasn't quite used to his large size yet. She bent and flexed her knees and she squirmed under him in an attempt to get her mind off the pain. Sasuke could tell that kissing alone wasn't helping this time. Eventually she stopped moving in pain and started thrusting against him in pleasure. When Sasuke felt her trying to take more of him in her granted her wish and began slamming into her further, venting his own sexual frustration from holding himself back all this time since his birthday.

He knew he couldn't have her anytime or anywhere he wanted, but if he could he knew that it would be the death of both of them because she would be in pain from his relentless hunger and he would be exhausted from exerting himself.

Her lips were the most addictive drug he'd tasted, and her body was the most alluring perfume. Sasuke just couldn't get enough of it. When he felt he was about to loose himself inside her, he growled. Although Sakura couldn't hear it over her own moaning. When they both came, Sasuke almost lost all his physical strength and was about to drop on top Sakura but managed to catch himself on his elbows. Sakura couldn't stand Sasuke's stupid rule any longer and impulsively reached up and pulled Sasuke down to her lips in a passionate kiss. When they parted Sasuke rolled off to the side sweating while Sakura just panted, "Merry Christmas."
