CHAP 25

Shikamaru sighed upon entering the Hokage's office; the blond was dead asleep on his desk. The advisor walked to the blond and glanced down at the sight. Naruto was surrounded by a mess of paperwork, face flat on the last scroll he was reading, a pen still in his hand. The Nara had to admit that the blond man had quite the stamina; Naruto had been working continuously for three days to get caught up. The strategist could easily agree that the work had piled up in the Hokage absence and the upcoming diplomatic mission made his agenda more dense. However, stamina or not, the idiot had to take care of his health. Shikamaru heard Naruto mumble "Miso Ramen" and he shook the blond's shoulder. Bleary blue eyes blinked at the bright day-light and he jumped at the realization.

He looked sheepishly at his advisor and the dark haired man crossed his arm over his chest with a disapproving look. "Am I late for a meeting?" Naruto asked, unsure about his friend's angry expression.

"Don't overdo it Naruto! Don't you have a girlfriend to go back to sometime?" Shikamaru lectured.

Naruto stretched his arms over his head and smiled thinking that tonight was the night Sakura was coming at his place. "I just wanted to finish the first draft for the exchange project before we leave tomorrow," Naruto confessed, withholding the fact that he had every intention of leaving on time tonight.

Shikamaru patted his back reading through him. "You see her tonight, don't you?" The Hokage gave him a clumsy smile to be so easily found out. "Go and clean your face, you have to do something about your cheek." Shikamaru sighed as he exited the office. Guess I'll get him some coffee. They're both going to need it.

The Hokage ran a hand on his cheek and felt the ink on his fingers. Naruto looked down at the scroll on his desk and shrieked realizing that the text was all blurry at the place where his face was. Great, now I have more to do.

XXXXX

Sakura finished her last report and abandoned her lab coat on her chair. She wanted to do some shopping before heading to Naruto house. She had planned to cook a small dinner for them to show him how much she cared for him. The pinkette entered the grocery shop and received more glances than usual. The constant hush-hush behind her reminded her of the buzz of an annoying fly.

Talking about insect, the Aburame heir came to offer congratulation for her engagement with Naruto. The head medic jumped from surprise at the sound of his monotonous voice and Shino seemed displeased that she didn't notice his presence beforehand. Sakura tried to apologize, but the man just left sulking. Thanks to him at least she understood the general situation around her. The word of her engagement had already spread like fire on dry bushes. That could explain as well the cold shoulders that she received from some of the female staff at the hospital.

Naruto was putting on his pants when the door bell rang. He ran down the stairs, uncaring about his condition. The smile shining on his face was heart warming.

"Sakura-chan!" Naruto chanted a brillant smile on his face and his exhaustion of the day vanished at the sight of the woman he love.

Sakura blushed and couldn't tear away her eyes from him. Naruto was shirtless and some naughty drops of water falling from his wet hair were running on his perfect skin. She wondered if it was ok for her to lick those drops... Her attention got diverted when he took out of her arms her package offering to carry the bag to the kitchen. She followed him inside and her eyes got glued at his back. He was wearing a low-slung baggy pants that was falling low on his hips and she just wanted one thing at that second, pull them down.

Naruto abandoned the package in the kitchen and turned to her. Part of him wanted to hold her tight, to make love with her here and now. He had thought millions of time in the last few days of her and couldn't stop his excitement at the idea of touching her. But the other part of him didn't want that Sakura thought he was with her just for a carnal relationship. He plastered a grin on his face and lifted his hands behind his head to avoid them to touching her inappropriately.

"Want to drink something or rest a little on the couch?" Naruto offered politely.

The way his arm's muscles contracted and how the fine line of his torso got enhanced with his innocent gesture made her shudder. Was it considered a rape if she attacked her own fiancé? She gulped .

"We can sit on the couch," she replied in a feigned calmness.

They sat together on the cushion in an awkward silence, both of them not knowing what to talk about. It never have been like that between them, they always had been able to talk freely about everything. Sakura tried to dispel the fog of lust in her head and cleared her throat to inquire about his job. The Hokage laughed clumsily not wanting to admit that he had to over-stay for being too slow to do his work properly.

"I had quite my share of work, stuff that I have to finish before leaving," the young Hokage told her casually.

She studied his face and noticed the dark circle under his eyes. Did the infection had break again? "How is your health?" Sakura questioned, leaning toward him to touch his forehead to check his temperature.

"I-I am fine," the blond mumbled as his restraint slipped out of reach at her soft touch. Unconsciously he moved forward and went to claim her pink lips that he couldn't stop staring at. This was exactly what he wanted and in a split second the kiss turned ravenous.

Since the first kiss they had exchanged, a mysterious all-mighty magnetism worked around them. It was like they couldn't get away from each other. They couldn't have enough, never enough. Hands searched, prodded, caressed. Mouth on mouth, tongues fighting in a battle as if life itself depended on it. They pulled the unnerving material of their clothing with urgency, their body meeting again to entangled themselves in a mess of flesh and limbs. Moans escaped their throats as excitement built up in their veins. There was a form of ferocity in their encounter, an animal instinct driven by their attraction.

They ended up on the floor thoroughly spent. Sakura was lying on him, her body limp resting on his chest still straddling him. The fast beating of his heart was another proof of the intensity of their activity. Naruto laughed between puff of air, his eyes closed to the world, amazed by the magnitude of his orgasm. He never had anything close to that in the million of time he pleasured himself alone. The pinkette lifted her head curious to look at her lover. She smiled at his contagious elated expression. She could have stared at him indefinitely, but she felt self-conscious when he opened his eyes. Sakura disengaged herself from his half-hard shaft and grabbed the cover on the couch to roll it around her naked form.

The blond propped his head with his hand. "You do realize that I already saw you naked..."

She glanced at him trying to save whatever left of her pride. "True...but it's not a reason to have no modesty," she replied as she tightened the material around her.

"I don't mind if you want to look." Naruto teased her with a seductive smile, not trying the least to cover himself.

This man had absolutely no modesty. Her eyes unconsciously roamed over his handsome feature and stopped a second on his half-hard member. Even not completely full, it was still a substantial size. He sure don't have to be ashamed of anything. He caught her staring and his smile turned predatory. Sakura blushed and lifted her nose haughtily.

"I'm going to the shower," she informed him.

"Can I come?" Naruto asked teasingly as she walked away with a laugh and a shake of her head.

When she came back all refreshed, Sakura found him asleep on the couch just in his underwear. She covered him with the blanket and let him rest while she prepared the diner. The blond woke up an hour later to a delicious smell. He noticed the cover on him and smiled tenderly at the sweet attention. He walked discreetly behind her and encircled her waist with his arms. Naruto landed fleeting kisses on her neck rapidly before she decided to scold him.

"Naruto! Not now, I don't want to burn our diner."

He gave her a last kiss on the cheek and rested his head on her shoulder looking at the content of the pot. "It smells good and it looks good...that really makes me hungry."

She ruffled his hair. "It will be ready soon...you can go for your shower and I'll have it on the table."

He kissed her cheek in thanks. He stepped aside and spotted a cup of tea. "Can I have some of it?" Naruto asked while bringing the cup to his lips.

She snatched it away. "Not this one! I will prepare you a tea if you want!"

He pouted. "Why? Can't we share the cup?" he whined.

"We will share the next one...is that ok?" Sakura said to soothe his curiosity but he didn't let go.

"What's wrong with this one?" the blond cornered her to tell him the mystery behind this cup.

"It's a medicine!"Sakura squealed as she looked at the ground.

The blond looked at her worriedly. "Are you sick Sakura-chan? Did I gave you my virus?"

She felt her face warm up by the second. "I am fine...it is to prevent pregnancy,"she admitted.

He made the connection in his head "Oh!"

Sakura observed him from the side as Naruto seemed lost in his thought for a few seconds, having some strange mechanism in his brain turning around.

He finally glanced at her shyly. "I am not against having a family with you, you know..."

She passed from different tint of red in a blink of an eye. "We-we sho-ould wait!" Sakura managed to utter with difficulty, her brain in a global breakdown.

The blond scratched his hair and nodded before leaving with a tinge of repressed disappointment in his demeanor. Her eyes followed his retreating figure, Sakura pinched her lips in a thin line. She didn't like to let him down but it was too early in their relationship to already think about having kids. Naruto was sometimes too impatient.

By the time her fiancé was done, the diner was ready and set at the table. The pinkette prepared a tea for Naruto and served his plate before calling him. The young man ran down the stairs dressed up but with his hair still wet the towel forgotten on his shoulder. He sat at his place and thanked her for the dinner, grinning like he had win some lottery ticket.

Sakura frowned and stood up to dry his hair. The towel covered his head and she brushed the material to collect all the dampness. "You should be careful...your immune system don't have fully recovered yet," she lectured him.

His hands came to cover hers and Naruto squeezed them tenderly. "Don't worry..." he reassured her.

"I don't want to see you sick...ever!" Her voice trembled remembering her pain when Shikamaru had brought him in the hospital. His hands more firmly grabbed hers and Naruto flipped her over to make her land on his laps. The young woman shrieked in surprise. "Baka!" she called him in a fake reprimand

He hugged her, kissing the mark on her forehead. "But I am your baka!" the blond playfully teased her.

Sakura ended up eating sitting on his lap as her fiancé refused to let her go. The dinner turned in a joyous love-game: Naruto feeding her and opening his mouth wide for her to feed him in return. More than once he voluntarily missed her to lick the corner of her lips to clean the stain. At some point the food got completely forgotten as the kiss turned too ardent. He lifted her up in his arms not breaking the contact one second and carried her up to his room. Their clothes flew all over the place and the night burned of inextinguishable passion.
