Sasuke's POV
I've been carrying boxes all day with the dobe and Kakashi, in a few hours I'm going to pick Sakura up before heading to the Hokage's office. Even though my house was finished after Christmas, I still stayed two nights out of the week with Sakura. I helped her pack and we've gotten closer but tonight is something we both are slightly dreading. Our lives are being melded into one tonight, Tsunade is making us follow the old tradition of consummating the marriage. That's what Sakura has been dreading this entire week, I know deep down that this is something that I want but I don't want to force her into anything. I've talked with Naruto about this but of course he was no help in the situation and responded by laughing, dobe.
"Hey teme, where do you want her office stuff?" Speaking of dobe, rolling my eyes I turn to look at him struggling holding a few boxes.
"Upstairs, third door on the left." Sakura was adamant about having an office, I figured I would save myself the headache and make one for her. She can decorate and organize any way she wishes. There's not much of a decorative touch to the house, maybe Sakura will do that once she's settled. It's strange returning back here, the only thing that remains the same is the outside. I wanted anything from the original house to be destroyed so there could be a fresh start. A childish thought but the nightmares are slowly going away with each night spent in the house.
There's a thud that echoes from the ceiling from Naruto most likely just dropping the boxes down. Rising from my spot on the ground, I walk down the hallway towards the bedroom. My chest gets heavy for a few minutes each time I walk into this room; this is where Itachi murdered my parents. Every nerve in my body used to keep me from here, this room was my parents safe haven with each other but it ended in sorrow. Now it's supposed to be our safe haven, a new start for the Uchiha clan. Would Sakura feel uncomfortable here? Would being in this room bring her sadness? There are many questions that won't get answered until she's here.
"Hey Sasuke! Where'd ya go?" Exiting the room, I look as Naruto grins and looks over at me. This idiot is who I call my best friend, a few years ago I would've punched myself for even saying that sentence. Closing the bedroom door, my feet carry me over to the blonde and I take a look around the room. Sakura still has boxes of things to put away but the sight fills me with something I'm still not used to experiencing, happiness. The weeks I spent with her were an eye opener to everything that I've missed. My fingers graze over the picture of Team 7, I found my old copy while unpacking my old things.
That pink hair was so annoying to me back in my youth, it would break my concentration while I was training and even while I slept. Those green eyes would clash against my black orbs when we couldn't agree on a plan while on a mission. As a child I couldn't help but find it annoying. It kept me from completing my goals and even while I was in the snake's hideouts I dreamed of her from time to time. I did some very stupid things, I even tried to kill her a few times. Now I want to make up for that, this union isn't mutual or consensual but I can at least try to make it work for her.
"Do you want to go see Sakura for lunch?" Naruto smirks as he starts to walk towards the front door. Without a verbal answer, I followed his lead and stepped into my shoes locking the door as we went.
"So today's the day huh?" Naruto's in a talkative mood today. Might as well throw him a bone.
"I guess it is." My hands are shoved into my pockets and I keep my eyes on the ground ahead of us. The hospital isn't too far from the compound so we arrive just as quickly as we left. Naruto is hyper as we enter the hospital and Tsunade is standing at the admission desk reading over a file. Her eyes are squinted as she reads over the thick packet.
"Granny! How's life?" The Hokage seems annoyed as she closes the file. Her eyes flicker between Naruto and myself, there's a fire in her eyes when she looks over me. Her and I have a slight understanding of the situation, she's threaten me with my life if I were ever to hurt her again.
"I swear Uchiha if you ever, and I mean EVER, hurt her again I'll end you. The great Uchiha's will end by my ripping your family jewels off and tear you limb from limb." There's a ferocity in her eyes and I swallow slowly.
"I won't hurt her again." Nodding, accepting my answer as I turn to leave the room.
"Where's Sakura's office?" They both look at me with their mouths slightly open. I haven't been inside the hospital since I returned home so in turn I haven't been in her office. Naruto starts to laugh filling the hallways with echoes as he turns towards the stairs. Sending a punch to his arm, Naruto is moved closer to the wall and I let myself smirk widely. Climbing the stairs two more floors, Naruto leads me down the hallway to the office. Sakura Haruno 303, hmmm I wonder if she will change her name at work. Instead of knocking the dobe just walks straight into her office, looking around the room I'm taken back.
Unlike her house, there is a little more clutter covering the shelves and more pictures hang on the walls. There are piles of files on her desk and scrolls are sitting on the side of the wood furniture. My eyes look up to her and I feel my heart start to beat faster, her long pink locks are tied into a bun on the top of her head and she's chewing on her pen top reading over her work. Sakura looks so relaxed when most doctors would be stressed, almost otherworldly as she's thrown into her work. Two green emerald eyes look straight at me and there's a fire that lights in my blood, this woman will be my undoing.
"What are you two doing here? I'm not off until seven." The pen drops on the desk and her chair creaks as it leans back.
"Sasuke and I figured we could all go to lunch." Again those green eyes looked back to me and I nodded at his statement. Today is the last day that all three of us will be normal for a while, once Sakura and I are married it won't be the same at first. There will be things that we keep from Naruto and everyone else.
"Sounds good. I don't have another appointment until two, so that give us about…two hours." She stands and stretches from her long period of sitting, letting her long locks fall from the bun. I stare at the scene, it's hypnotizing. The swaying of her hair and hips pull me into the trance and I want to take her away. Naruto cleared his throat and I look back at Naruto who was smirking, there's a devilish meaning behind the expression. Sakura and Naruto fall into an energetic conversation as I follow them out of the hospital.
The dobe leads us to Ichiraku claiming that he needed ramen, what an idiot. Sakura took the middle seat between Naruto and I. Staying quiet as normal there's a tension hanging in the air between Sakura and I, stealing a few glances at her I can see the anxiousness in her eyes. Hn, something we both have in common right now. Leaning over to her, I stop inches from her ear.
"We need to talk before tonight." I keep my voice low so Naruto won't be able to overhear. She nods her head slightly answering my question, taking my place back on my stool I start to eat my food. Should I take Sakura out tonight for dinner or should I make something at the house? Both of our nerves will be taking over once we are alone at the house, another action I can do to prove I'm trying. Naruto scarfs down his food and Sakura is almost finished as well, I pay for all three meals while they talk and are too distracted to pay attention to me. Smirking as we leave, I let my right arm wrap loosely around her waist causing her to blush.
We return to the hospital and the halls are quiet, most of the nurses are on their lunch breaks by now. Naruto stops and talks to Ino who's running the admission desk, her medical training is not as advanced as Sakura's. Following behind Sakura, I watch the sway of her hips with each step and I can't help but want to touch her. What's happened to me? Months ago I would've never talked like this or had these thoughts. She's started to chip away at the wall, here soon it's going to be gone.
I open the door to her office leading her in and sit down on the small couch. An arm stretches across the back of the couch and I close my eyes taking in a deep breath. Sakura returns to her desk, tying her hair back into the bun from earlier. Shifting in my seat, our eyes lock into a staring contest as sparks fill the room.
"So what do you need to talk about Sasuke?" Sakura returns to her work and I watch as she's trying to multitask.
"Tonight." Her expression drops and the pen is set back on the desk top slowly. There's a sad expression in her eyes and I relax my body as I slide up on the couch.
"What about it?"
"I'll pick you up once you're off. After that we will go straight to Tsunade and then we'll go home." Standing from the couch, I walk over to the edge of her desk. My body leans over and place a chaste kiss on her forehead before turning to walk out of the office. I can't help but feel relieved as I leave, she seemed to be more relaxed after I kissed her. Even her chakra calmed which is something for her, I've noticed over the past month that once her chakra starts to tense its game over for the rest of the day. Tonight is weighing heavily on my mind, I should be angry and upset about the union but in the deepest part of my being was happy about it. There was so much history between the two of us and its time that I make up for it.
Naruto and Ino's voice are audible from the stairwell, these two were undoubtedly going to be flooding my house tomorrow for the details. Ino's loud mouth is even more annoying now than when we were children, Naruto on the other hand wasn't as bad anymore. I stop beside the dobe and listen to their conversation.
"So Naruto, wanna make a bet?" Ino wiggled her brows at the other blonde.
"What would that be?" He returned the gesture and leaned over on the counter closer to her. They were in a whole different world at the moment.
"I say that Sasuke tries to sleep with Sakura before the end of the month." Mentally my eyes widen and I laugh, but on the outside I keep my face blank. Naruto lets out a chuckle and shakes his head to the woman.
"I'll leave that bet alone. See ya Ino." For once the idiot keeps his mouth shut and leaves while he's ahead. Maybe he's grown up a little bit. Gripping the jacket closer to me, a gush of cold wind hits us as we walk outside. Once we are a safe distance form the hospital I clear my throat.
"Thanks for not saying anything back there." It's as close to a real apology that he will get from me. I've only ever thanked one person since the massacre and that was Sakura. It's as if time stood still for Naruto, his steps stopped and he stared at me.
"Wha? Did you really just thank me?" Idiot.
"Don't get used to it. Hurry up, we have a lot to finish." Smirking I pick up the place towards the house. There's a lot that I need to do before bringing Sakura home, hopefully Naruto will be of some help.
After a few hours, Naruto and I sit down on the couch catching our breath from working all afternoon. I let my head rest back on the couch and instantly my eyes close, but my fingers are fidgeting with a box that's laying in my lap. The wooden box is smooth but the edges are rounded, memories flood back as I stroke my thumb over the surface.
My mother is standing on the porch watching my father and brother talk in the back yard. Back then I didn't know that my entire family would be murdered in just a few days, but then again my mother did act strange that week. I let my small hands latch onto her larger hand and her black eyes meet mine with such sadness, I can't help but frown at her.
"Sasuke come inside with me." I follow beside her as she takes me into the living room. There's a small box sitting on the coffee table and I give her a confused look. She sits down on the floor and I follow her motion.
"What's wrong mother?" A weak smile spreads on her face and the box is moved from the table to my small hands.
"Nothing's wrong darling. I want you to have this though. I was cleaning out grandmother's things and found them." My eyes widen and I slowly open the box, three rings are housed in the small box, the metal is silver and polish to shine.
"They have been passed down throughout the generations. When you grow up, you will find someone who you will love and cherish. I want you to give that special woman two of those rings and the third is for you, to carry the history of the Uchiha clan with you."
I hold the box close to my chest and smile at my mother, not knowing completely what she meant I ran to my room and hide the small box in my desk.
My mother failed to mention that these were their wedding bands as well. I guess she didn't want me to worry about why she was giving them to me. I kept these hidden in the village while I was gone so they wouldn't be destroyed or ruined while I trained. Opening the box, I look over the metal, there's a flutter in my chest as I close the box. In a few hours I won't be the only Uchiha anymore and that scares me more than anything.
"Why do you keep opening and closing that box?" Naruto seems worried about it, he's almost anxious. I hand him the box and watch as he opens it slightly looking at the contents, his eyes cut back to mine with a devilish smirk.
"So you actually got her a wedding band?" The wiggle of his brow is causing a vein in my forehead to pop and I instinctively punch his arm roughly.
"What the hell teme? It's just a question." Naruto's always been the one to ask inappropriate questions and dig too deep into someone's life. Pinching the bridge of my nose, I take back the box and shove it in my pocket.
"They were my parent's. They've been passed down through the clan." Silence. Naruto's jaw is closed tightly and the teeth grind together. It's only a matter of seconds before he responds one of two ways; loudly or sincerely. He's always been predictable but at the same time it's hard to calculate exactly what he's going to do. In battle he's a complete idiot and goes with the wind, no plan or objective. Just fight and win. His way of life is that way as well, but Naruto is set in his ways when it comes to his bonds. No matter what he's feeling or how he's being treated, he's going to try and make the other person feel better. Naruto is more of a man than I ever will be.
I'm selfish, arrogant and I have too much pride in things. My name means more to me than anything, to me the Uchiha name has the chance to be restored to the glory it should be. As a teen, I thought that I was above everyone else just because of my bloodline. Whenever someone had pathetic chakra it wasn't even worth my time to battle them and I would leave them to the others. Most of my life I've been arrogant to the ones around me and treated them like dirt, but yet they never gave up on me. Is it because of the bonds that were forged in the darkest of times together?
I used to think that Naruto was a good for nothing. That he would never amount to anything and end up dying in battle. But he's proved me wrong time and time again, by being the knucklehead that he was when we were younger he's overcome a lot. Sakura, though…she's exceeded the imagination. She's on track to be the best medic in the ninja world, she's surpassed Tsunade in strength and stamina. Sakura's book knowledge is beyond the range of a normal ninja, her genjutsu immunity is outstanding and beyond all of that, there's a purity to her. No matter how much fighting, no matter how much blood she sees or how many she can't save, she always manages to pull herself from the darkness and return to the bubble woman she's always bee. Kakashi and Naruto only made clearer what I was already feeling and it's hit like a wave, I'll never openly admit to it either.
"How do you think she will react?" Naruto's voice is deep and monotone. There's another long silence between us. Honestly I have no idea about how she will react to the story behind the rings. Sakura hasn't really discussed her true feelings about the forced marriage, our relationship is different…we aren't by any means in a real relationship, but it's not just a friendship. My mother would tease me about Sakura is she were still alive. It would be a surprise to her that her little boy has feelings for a girl.
A smile forms on my face and I stand from the couch. Looking back at Naruto, I shove my hands in my pockets.
"I don't know. Can you call Ino and tell her to bring the order over? I'm going to shower."
After a long shower, I dressed in my typical outfit with the Uchiha fan between the shoulder blades. I had made an order with Ino a few days ago under Naruto's name that way she wouldn't question it. Two dozen roses are sitting on her nightstand and more are in the new office, I want her to be happy here. Looking at the clock, I need to leave here in a few minutes so I can pick Sakura up on time. I pull on a thick jacket as I walk out of the house, snow is falling lightly from the sky lighting up the night. My chest has been tight ever since I stepped out of the shower, I felt this same way the first time Sakura and I kissed. It's not painful, but it's warm. Just like Sakura.
Ignoring the gawking nurses at the desk, I continue my way to the stairwell to Sakura's office. I can't help but smirk when I see the name plaque on her door has been removed, she's going to change her name at work. The feeling in my chest only increases as I knock on the door, I'm taken back as I see her. Sakura's changed from her work clothes into a long sleeve white dress with a black jacket, it's not too fancy but it's something she wouldn't normally wear out. My chest fills with pride and I move to the side walking beside her down the hallway. The air is cold against my face and I see Sakura pull at her jacket from the sudden gust. Her green eyes look over to me and there's a softness to her, it reminds me of her genin days.
"Ready Sasuke?" There's an energy in her voice that I can't put a name to, was I ready? No but I will try for her. Stopping at the door, I take a deep breath in.
"Hn. Let's go." We walk up the stairs to the office and Sakura knocks softly on the door. Without waiting for an answer Sakura leads us into the room, Tsunade is sitting at the desk with a bottle of sake and three cups. The Hokage sure does enjoy her alcohol, you can tell she's already taken a few sips because there's a flush to her face.
"Well let's get this over with. No need for formalities, just sign this paper." A marriage certificate is turned towards us with two pens waiting for us. Sakura looks sad as she leans forward, her hand signs her name smoothly and there's a certain beauty behind it. Most doctors have sloppy, careless handwriting but Sakura's is smooth and legible. I take the other pen and swiftly sign beside hers, and like that Sakura is now an Uchiha. Tsunade handed us each a small porcelain glass and we all took the drink together.
"I'll have a copy sent over to the compound. You two have a good night and Sakura I want you to report to my office at the hospital tomorrow around noon." I glance over at the Hokage, there's nothing but seriousness to her. Sakura turns to walk out of the room, but my hand reaches out for her and she stops. My other hand reaches into my pocket producing the box that I've been holding all day long. I could easily do this at home without witnesses but I want Tsunade to know that I am genuinely trying.
Wide, bright emerald eyes are staring at every move I make. Opening the box, I take her left hand and slide on the small band before sliding on the band with rubies and diamonds decorating it. She swallows slowly and takes the box from my hand, her fingers tremble slightly as she slides my band onto my left hand. The metal feels foreign and cold against my skin, I give her a slight smile in return and place the box back into my pocket. Tsunade doesn't say much but watches the two of us closely, examining us to see if my actions are honest. Smirking, I take her hand and lead her out of the room.
"Where would you like to eat?" I tighten my grip slightly causing her to break from her thoughts and look at me.
"Um…There's a small place near my old house." A quiet place that wouldn't cause attention to be brought to us, clever. I nod my head and follow as she leads us, the streets are weirdly empty for this time of night. Although the children do start back at the academy tomorrow so they must be getting back on their routine. In a few short years, that will be our life, raising a child and molding them into a fine shinobi. Looking around, the small shop doesn't look like much but once we enter the atmosphere is relaxing and the lights are soft creating a darker vibe.
"Ms. Sakura it's so nice to see you again. We saw you moving boxes the other day." The young woman runs over to Sakura and give her a tight hug. Since it was so close to her home, it's safe to say that she came here frequently.
"Oh it's nothing." She nervously rubs her head as we walk to a corner table. Sakura leans to whisper in the girl's ear and she blushes as she disappears. My back faces the wall, I'm able to see everything in the room. It's a habit I picked up while away from Konoha, Sakura sits and doesn't bother looking over the menu. A bottle of sake is sat on our table with two glasses, maybe this will help he relax more. Following her lead, I pour myself a drink. The warm liquid is a welcomed sensation as I set the cup back down, Sakura takes two for my one. She's definitely trying to relax. The woman comes back to take our order and before I can answer, Sakura begins to speak.
"He'd like tomato soup with onigiri and I want my usual." I'm taken back. She's taking charge of the situation, making sure that everything goes smoothly for our first meal as a married couple.
"So…what did you do today?" A commonly asked question among couples, I remember my mother doing the same every night my father returned from work. Small talk to pass the time.
"I unpacked boxes." Not completely a lie, I just don't want her to know everything until she's home.
"Sounds fun. You should've waited for me to help." There's concern in her voice, it's almost like she considers it a burden for me. Isn't it my job to make her life slightly easier? The woman returns carrying two large plates and I take a deep breath in enjoying the scent of tomatoes. Sakura's plate is similar to mine except she has miso soup instead.
"It was nothing. They needed to get put away." Sakura responds by nodding her head before she begins to eat her meal. Following her lead, I slowly begin to eat my meal, each second that passes is a second closer to our first night together. I don't know if Sakura is aware of the reason why Tsunade she wants her to report, but I do. Tomorrow will be an interesting day once she returns home, I can just see the fumes now.
"Is there still a lot left to unpack?" Her cheeks are flushed from drinking the sake, but there seems to be a blush covering her as well. Sakura's breathing is getting slightly uneven and her left ring finger keeps moving against the middle one. My chest is filled with a warm sensation and I flash a small smile to her.
"Not really. Just the stuff for your office." The reaction I get is priceless, a wide, warm smile is plastered on her face.
"I have an office?" Hn, I was going to let it be a surprise. It seems this news has relaxed the tension in the room between us. I nod my head as I finish my meal, her excitement brings a whole new side out. There's a glow coming from her as she finished her meal much like a child.
After paying for the meal, I lead her outside walking towards our home. The village is even more quiet now as the lights from shops begin to shut off. Sakura moves closer to me and an arm wraps around my waist softly, she's getting a little more confidence. My arm snakes around her shoulder causing her to be pushed right into my side. The new warmth next to my side makes my blood pump faster and there's a familiar feeling in my gut. Normally a cold shower would help with this issue but tonight's not the night for that.
We walk through the gates of the compound and Sakura lets her grip loosen and her arm drops. The short walk to the house is silent and cold, her body language proves that she is nervous. Looking at her it's even more apparent, her bottom lip is pinched between her teeth nibbling at the soft flesh. I take her hand knocking her out of her thoughts and walk into the house. A gasp brings my attention back to her and she's taking everything in. Behind the couch is a table that is covered in her pictures, the people that she cherishes.
"Follow me." I climb the stairs as Sakura is on my heels as we walk. The excitement is clear as day as she walks down the hallway with me. Turning to face the door, I open it slowly and she jumps like a child. The large room is laid out almost like her old one but there's more room, enough to add a couch and chair.
"Sasuke this is amazing. Thank you." Her hands run across the desk and stop at the vase. There's a shine coming from her and I can tell that she's trying to hold back the tears. I can't help the pang of guilt in my chest, the only thing I've ever been able to do is make her cry. I'm the cause of her sorrow and pain. Sakura takes a deep breath and turns to me, the shine is gone but a fire has replaced it. Such an interesting woman.
"Where's our room?" I can't help but smirk. That fire comes with a confidence too, something that I saw the first night I returned. The male side of me can't help but be effected by this behavior. A fire is starting to run through my veins as I lead her to the bedroom, every ounce of my control is starting to slip. Opening the door, Sakura let's a few tears fall down her cheek...
Sakura's POV
Today has been a struggle to day the least, first Sasuke shows up to my office with Naruto for lunch. Sasuke hasn't been to the hospital to visit me since he returned. Secondly, Sasuke actually gave me a real wedding band. I knew that he would have to give me some sort of band but I never figured it would be this beautiful. Then dinner and now this, I can't help but let my emotions show. Our bedroom is something out of a magazine to be perfectly honest. There's no way Sasuke was the one to design it, he had to have help from someone else.
The walls are a soft grey color with lamps attached to the walls on both sides of the headboard while the Uchiha fan is centered between the two. Every piece of furniture in the room is white, a calming feeling washes over me. One of the nightstands have a vase full of bright red roses, I'm guessing that this is my side of the bed. My side is further away from the door; his male instinct of protectiveness must've decided on my spot. I can't help but walk around the room touching the newly purchased furniture, opening the closet I see that it's neatly organized with both of our clothes. Oh no, that means he put away every piece of my clothing.
'What are you complaining for? He's about to see more than just your underwear.'
'Oh shut up. You're annoying me.'
'No I'm not. You just want to get in his pants already.'
Rolling me eyes, I look back to Sasuke and he's watching every move I make. The fact that he's put so much effort into this already proves to me that he's trying. There's a bathroom connecting to the room but I'll look in there later. Returning my attention back to Sasuke, I can sense the nervousness but there's something else to his demeanor. My feet carry me over to his statue like form, a hand going up to caress his cheek. Once again, the spark fills the room around us and I stand on my tip tops to reach his lips.
My body reacts and melts against his, my hands snake back to his neck and lightly pull at the raven locks. Tonight is going to happen if I like it or not, but now my confidence is taking over after seeing how much he's done for me. Sasuke's initial shock wears off and his arms engulf me and wrap tightly around my waist. The kiss become more heated and we start to move backwards towards the bed, the back of my knees hit the mattress causing me to sit. Our lips broke apart and I started to breath heavily. Two black eyes are looking over me intensely, my body starts to heat up and I lean forward back to him. His mouth meets mine in a frenzy and we both are laying on the bed. Hands are mangled in my hair, pulling roughly causing us to break apart.
Both of us are breathing heavily and staring at each other with a fire in our eyes. Sasuke backs away slowly and heads back to the doorway, the lights flicker off but the room has a soft glow from the moon. A flash of crimson causes me to move back slightly on the bed, there's a throbbing sensation between my legs and I reach for him. In a flash, Sasuke is hovering over me tracing the outline of my figure with one hand while the other is rubbing my face. The gentle side of Sasuke is shocking but welcomed after the years of fighting.
"Sasuke…" My voice rasps out and I watch as he stops moving. The softness on his face is breaking the last of the wall that I have. I can't help the smile that spreads on my face and he gives me a confused look.
"Sakura…" As my name echoes through the room and I pull him down on top of me. Our lips crash back together and that's when all second thoughts go out the window. My hands are pulling at the hem of his shirt, I want it out of my way. He pulls back to discard the clothing item throwing it carelessly behind him. I can't help but mentally drool over him, Sasuke has always been in top physical condition and this just proves it. Two hands run down my front and pulls it over my head, my dress is pulled slowly from my body. Instead of throwing it, he places it gently on the floor beside us.
The cool air is shocking against my hot body; my skin feels like it's on fire. I know tonight won't be the most magical night, this is just an answer to a problem. Tsunade is going to examine me tomorrow to ensure that the deed is done. Sasuke is now hovering over me examining me with his sharingan, I could feel something against my thigh. Oh…
My body feels even hotter as a blush spreads over my entire face, probably down my neck as well. I'm almost completely exposed to him, my matching bra and thong are the only things keeping my dignity. Only in my dreams have I ever imagined this scenario, I shake my head and watch as he steps back to kick off his pants, then his boxers.
'Holy…I'm leaving this to you girlie. Have fun.'
I can't help but stare at him embarrassed, how in the world is that going to fit inside of me? As a medic, I know that it will but how? Sasuke joins me again and slowly removes my thong and I sit up to remove my bra. A hand pushes me back down, the breath leaves my body slightly and I close my eyes. Sasuke positions himself and I feel his head sink into my shoulder beside my ear.
"Sakura, I'm sorry." With his apology, his hips slam into mine and I feel a sharp pain. Tears roll down my cheeks and Sasuke kisses the salty drops away. My breathing picks up for a moment as I wait for the pain to subside. My hand runs over his arm letting him know that it was okay. The pace is slow at first, gentle but I can feel a knot building in my stomach. It's something I've never felt before; my nails rake down his arms.
Sasuke groans and buries his head back into the crook of my neck. I feel biting at the juncture and I move my head to the side letting him have easier access to the skin. Shivers run up my spine and I claw at him harder. A deep chuckle vibrates my skin and his mouth goes to my ear nibbling at the lobe.
"Do you want more Sakura?" Each syllable of my name is accented. The knot in my stomach gets tighter, his pace quickens as he continues to bite my skin. A loud moan comes from me as Sasuke hits a spot deep inside of me. The sensation is heavenly, fire is running through my veins and it's only a matter of time before the knot is broken.
"Please, Sasuke." With my plea, Sasuke is moving at a frightening pace. My back arches as he moves up from me looking down on me. His two crimson eyes clash with my jade orbs and there's pure pleasure on his face. Groans are coming from him that only amplify my own pleasure, my nails dig in more and I can feel the skin breaking from the pressure. A hiss comes from his mouth and he slams his hips into mine causing a dull scream to fill the room. He lowers his head back down to mine and I bite into his shoulder, this time crimson flashes at me with half open lids, almost as if he enjoyed the pain slightly.
The room is filled with the sounds of our moans and skin colliding together. I can't help but want to have more of Sasuke, that's all I've ever wanted. With each thrust, I only want more. Pure desire and instinct washes over me as my hips try to meet each thrust, a faster rhythm comes as I reach out for him. Our hands intertwine together and the metal on our fingers are cold against our hot skin.
Moaning out his name, I feel my toes curl and my vision blurs for a moment. There's a warm feeling filling me and Sasuke collapses on top of me, both of us are breathing heavily. At this moment, it's pure bliss. My body is relaxed but there's a dull pain coming from my core. Sasuke pulls himself from me and the pain becomes a little more intense, he disappears into the bathroom and returns with a towel. I take it from him and rise from the bed, he turns his back to me giving me some privacy.
There's a slight amount of blood covering my thighs and I wipe it away, thank goodness none dripped on the white comforter. After I finished I threw the towel into the basket in the closet, Sasuke turns back to watch me as I dress in a nightgown and panties. I let my calming chakra reduce the pain to barely anything and I return to the bed, tucking myself under the covers. My back is facing Sasuke as he joins me. He's going to keep the distance tonight; we've been close enough for one night. An arm drapes over me pulling me closer. I look down to see a matching band on his finger and I can't help the beating of my heart.
"Good night Sasuke." I breath out as I try to calm myself, sleep will take over soon since I've had a busy day.
"Hmm... Night." I can sense that he's starting to fall asleep. Smirking I let my fingers play with his band as I lull myself to sleep.
