Lexy was a mind wreck throughout the rest of the day, overly confused about not only as to why Kisame had said 'those three words' the other night, but also unsure about her own feelings for the brute.

She would never admit it, but whenever she got near the man, she felt like all she needed in her life was standing there, right in front of her; Kisame.

At first she thought it to be a simple crush that would wear off, but instead it just kept getting stronger, and apparently he had similar feelings for her and wouldn't stay away from her. Not to mention it was nearly impossible to resist him. The safety and warmth she felt from being by his side.

"Am I feeling love?" she asked to no one in particular.

Earlier that day Itachi instructed her to help with whatever she could find around town, which was her first job after healing. She may have been Madara's niece, but that didn't mean she could slack off. She was still on probation regardless.

When she returned she stayed in her room for the rest of the day save for going downstairs for lunch and dinner. "Angel hasn't written back yet." she murmured, looking out the window.

The pearly cream light of the full moon peered through the clear panes, giving the room a mesmerizing glow. The door open with a rusty squeak, and Lexy glanced up to see Kisame leaning against the doorframe, arms folded.

"Mind explaining why you've locked yourself up in here all day?" he inquired, sounding a bit worried. Lexy sighed, "It's just that a lot has been on my mind lately." "Want to talk about it?" he asked again, plopping down next to her on the mattress.

Sighing again Lexy shrugged. "I guess." Kisame smirked amusedly. "You guess? Just go on and tell me."

Fidgeting slightly Lexy stared into her lap. "What do you think of me?"

Kisame was silent for a moment before replying, "Depends on the way you look at it. Like for instance; you might be asking what I think about your appearance, which you look gorgeous if I might add." he stated with a saucy wink when she giggled.

Calming down she rephrased her question, "I meant what do you feel towards me; what am I to you?"

His expression fell, now set in a soft, yet serious gaze into her eyes as he rotated his hip to face her fully and slide his hand atop of hers, which rested between them.

"Whenever I see you, I always I feel a sudden urge to stay near you, just to make sure you're safe and happy. My chest feels like it'll burst any second just by seeing you smile." The sheriff's cheeks turned a faint pink.

"To put it simply; you give me more of a reason to keep going, to always find a light in the gloomiest days." Kisame took a deep breath, "That took a bit of thinking." he muttered, making her snicker again.

"Is that why you said "I love you" while I was still catching my breath?"

Appearing as if a basin had fallen out of nowhere and on to his head Kisame stared at her blankly, like she had said something forbidden. "You heard that?" he stammered, palming his face when she nodded.

"It's not something to be embarrassed about. I feel the same way." Feeling a grin tug at the corners of his lips he asked, "Really?"

She nodded to assure him. "Every time you advance onto me, at first I did try to resist, but I couldn't. Something was making me give in. Not to mention I feel protected and like I'm where I belong."

A sputtering chuckle met her ears, and she looked up at him with a pout. "What's so funny?" The behemoth waved it off, "It nothing, just that I pictured us being lovesick teenagers confessing their feelings for each other."

Lexy raised a brow, "That's kinda what were doing right now." "Oh bite me." he grumbled, eyes widening when she leant up and gently bit his nose.

Giggling at his shocked face she spoke, "What? You told me to bite you."

Smirking to show his teeth he straightened his back, towering over her before lowering his head to whisper in her ear, "That wasn't a real bite."

The brunette gave a small yelp in slight pain when the brute opened his mouth to press his teeth into her skin, but not hard enough to draw blood. A sigh of approval falling from her as he gingerly licked the love bite.

Sitting back up Kisame snickered at the heated glare that was presented on her countenance, and gingerly pecked her lips as an apology, to which she leaned into eagerly, but pulled away before it could evolve into something more heated.

"Are you sure that you're ready for this, Lexy?" He hesitantly asked, guiding her face closer to his own with a hand cupping her chin.

The girl beneath him answered him with a small kiss, pulling away only slightly so that her lips would brush against his as she spoke, "I'm more than ready if it's the man that I love, Kisame."

He smiled, closing the gap between their lips again, his heart leaping in sheer happiness from those words. Heads tilting slightly their mouths opened to tangle their tongues together, settling for a tantalizing dance rather fight for dominance.

With a gentle push, Kisame was on top of the brunette, hand moving down from cupping her chin to trace over her neck and rest upon her breast, squeezing lightly while breaking the kiss.

"K-Kisame!" Lexy whimpered in bliss as the man above her nibbled along the baby soft skin of her tilted neck, running his hands across her curved waist and dipping under the loose white shirt, moving in for another heated kiss.

Their forms shifted above the mattress, wrinkling the satin sheets as their hands roamed about one another's bodies, tugging off articles of clothing one by one till they were in nothing but their undergarments. The thin layers being all that was left that kept them from being bare to each other's gazes.

The soft, heated gaze had the teen twitching as a wanton shudder racked her spine, her breaths ragged as he loomed over her smaller frame like a predator going in for the kill.

"Lexy." he murmured, voice deep and husky with sinful affection.

His lips made their way along her neck, nibbling the collarbone, and pausing to unhook the front of the brassiere that hid his prize. The brunette felt her breath hitch as the generous mounds bounced lightly out into the open.

Kisame felt something inside him stir at seeing her wide eyes, innocent yet laced with desire. A smirk tugged at his lips when she timidly looked away with a pout; the shy expression almost too cute. Despite this, the brute found himself rising up to hold his weight off of her on one hand, his other reaching forward to tilt her chin and meet her gaze lovingly.

"You don't have to be so embarrassed, you're beautiful as you are." he cooed softly, the smile on his face even softer as happy tears pricked at the corners of her eyes.

Moving back down again Kisame cupped her right bosom and tenderly squeezed it, groaning quietly as his ears took in the almost inaudible moan she made. He pecked the other breast before wrapping his lips around it, growling lightly when her fingers intertwined with his hair.

Back arching off the bed to pull him closer Lexy whimpered as his mouth and fingers tortured the sensitive nubs. From pinching to pulling and nipping to sucking.

Removing himself to observe her flushed face again the sheriff reached down to slip off the last strip of clothing while she was still in her breathless state. Lexy looked up to him through half lidded eyes before lifting a hand to tug at the elastic of his briefs. Catching her silent message he sat on his knees to remove them before leaning back over her.

Kisame reached a hand down between her thighs and parted her moist nether lips, gingerly stroking the tiny sensitive bud, kissing her again as she cried out, her thighs trembling.

The sheriff then pulled her legs around his waist, allowing him to align his tip to her entrance. "Are you ready?" he breathed out, gripping her hip when she nodded, pushing in while a gruff noise fell from him as he sheathed himself to the hilt and waited before moving in and out at a slow pace.

A small whimper escaped her, her nails digging into his shoulders as he gradually accelerated his thrusts, each piston of his hip added with more strength. Watching her breasts bounce as he pounded inside her Kisame groped one and dove his head in engage her into a sloppy, yet heated kiss, growling when she tugged at his hair.

Before long the teen gasped as the tightening coil in her loins released in time with him, the brute quickly pulling out to coat the sheets with his seed. Slumping, the brute nuzzled the crook of her neck, rolling over to his side to pull her exhausted form against him.

"I love you, Lexy." he panted out, moving in to kiss her cheek, but she turned her head, causing him to peck her lips instead. "I love you too, Kisame." she whispered back, smirking lightly before falling asleep with him.
