34. Secrets inside the Tower

.

.

Sakura surprised Gaara with bento for lunch. She had prepared it yesterday evening, when he had cancelled their night date, because of a long meeting. They enjoyed their meal together at his sofa and talked about the swift progress of the new med school.

Sadly he had to go back to his desk as his secretary came in to bring him some important papers to sign.

The young kunoichi guessed he had run out of time, so she gathered the bento boxes together and prepared to leave.

Right before she could walk through the door, he spoke:

.

"Sakura, come here."

.

Curious she walked up to him until she stood next to him.

He stood up from his chair and kissed her.

"Thank you" he whispered and deepened their kiss, to which she responded eagerly.

.

The kunoichi couldn't even reply a word, she only relished in the feeling of his hot lips against her own, their tongues fighting for dominance. Shortly he pulled her up to sit on his desk, his hands softly demanded her knees to part and he stepped in between her legs.

They started to make out, his strong masculine hands discarded her thong, he lifted her skirt a bit and opened the fly of his pants so he could enter her. Sakura's head fell back as she realized that she was lying on the official desk with a very horny kazekage between her thighs. It was so sexy and so forbidden.

In this angle his member rubbed just the right place inside of her, he felt rock-hard and wonderfully soft at the same time. His strong, warm hands held her gently in place as his pelvis created a deliriously sweet friction on her bundle of nerves outside. His mouth sucked eagerly on the erected nipples of her freed breasts, which bounced with every thrust since he had shoved down her tube top. The pink-haired Konoha-nin thought she would burst under that triple stimulation and began to let go and relax fully.

Still fully clad in his robes the redhead suddenly flipped her around, he bend her over the desk and fucked her from behind with relentless pounds. He pressed her face sideways on the cold wooden surface violently with one hand and held her wrists together on her lower back with his other hand. From her angle she could see his one eye had really changed into that dark and dangerous one of the one-tailed beast for a brief moment. The demon gave her a wicked grin before he slapped her ass hard on each cheek once with a devilish chuckle. Again the pinkette found the whole situation an incredible turn-on and her mind began to relax. Maybe now she could finally cum.

His pace became quicker, the wood creaked with every move and he clung to her hips in a claw-like grip. This time Gaara made his first real groan as he came sheeting himself deep inside of her.

For her it was another round of pretty quick, but very erotic and naughty sex, sadly without giving her sweet, needed release. Nonetheless it was eye-opening in the Shukaku case, the demon was strong and passionate in a very dominant way. Gaara had always started nice and soft, but then Shukaku would take over and fuck her hard for his own pleasure, afterwards the kazekage regained control quickly. Sakura thought it was exciting, although risky and she loved this new-found animalistic side of him. She was curious about what was more to come.

.

Gaara released her, she turned around and he captured her lips with his in a soothing, passionate kiss. Then he sat down on his chair and grinned sexily at her. It was one of the best sights he had ever had, Sakura was lying right there on his very kazekage desk, her pushed-aside clothes revealed her most intimate areas only for his eyes to see. She was breathing hard and her legs shook. Their eyes met and she noticed how bare she really was in that moment.

Before she could protest he stilled her legs apart, pulled her hips nearer and began to lick her most sensitive parts. He let his tongue drive tantalizing circles and he sucked erotically on her pearl as his hands kept the trembling girl in place. Sakura was overwhelmed, he chuckled as she tried to suppress her moans by biting her own hand and continued his sweet assault on her sensitive nerve endings. She was right about to cum as a surprising wave of silver flashes blocked her mind and Gaara's secretary knocked on the office door at the same moment.

.

Quickly the kazekage shouted "Do not disturb!" and winking at the riled up woman he carried on his tender torment.

The secretary cleaned her throat and kept on talking "I'm afraid the council is already waiting, kazekage-sama. You're late!"

.

Gaara laid his head on her shaky thigh, he grunted. "Dammit!" His curse was only for Sakura to hear.

"Kazekage-sama?" His secretary asked adamantly, but she didn't dare to come in. It was a very important meeting like yesterday with ambassadors from the other nations.

"Tell them I will be right there." He sounded really grumpy.

.

Then he stood up with a sigh to give the pinkette a calming kiss.

"I'm sorry, Sakura. I'm so sorry, I can't. I have to go." He looked her deep in the eye, before he soaked in the sight of her body all sprawled over his official desk for a last time. "Dammit."

.

You managed not only to make him reward you with sounds during sex, but also you made the ever collected and calm kazekage swear!

Shut up!

Twice!

.

"It's ok, Gaara. We'll see us later, ok?"

He stood up and went to the lavatory to wash his hands and face while the pinkette adjusted her clothes.

Through the open door the young man said in a stern tone "I'm afraid this meeting will last until late at night."

.

She looked really sad as he came back.

His hand put a pink strain behind her right ear. "I asked my siblings to entertain you tonight. We could meet again tomorrow after dinner at my place, if you want?"

.

Sakura helped him to adjust his robes "I will be there."

He smiled at her and kissed her forehead. "I promise I'll make up for it."

.

She smiled at him and he walked through the door directly into the council room.

Sakura went to his restroom, she adjusted her hair and left his office. The secretary behind her desk in the lobby smiled knowingly and as the pinkette walked she wished her politely a nice day and so did she in return. Sakura walked down the official staircase and back to the hospital.

She would hold a course on emergency wound closure in half an hour.

.


.

As Gaara had mentioned earlier that day, he made sure that his siblings and the Konoha-nin could enjoy a night out again. Kankuro and Kakashi had an excuse to leave the meeting earlier, that they could join the others in the dance club.

Temari wanted to stay at home, she had overdone herself at training with Shikamaru, also her pride was hurt badly because she had lost against her boyfriend. But she insisted that Sakura would go out with the boys and have a great evening.

.

So there she was alone with the male ninjas in front of the club.

Great...

.

The pinkette walked through the door, the three men followed suit. They found a booth and ordered their first round of drinks.

"Sakura, you look beautiful tonight!" Kankuro stated.

It made her smile. She had put on her favourite emerald halter-neck shirt with the delicate keyhole cleavage and skinny black jeans combined with black high heels. Her hair played around her face in pink curls and her dark eyeshadow made her eyes beam like a bright clearing in the middle of dreamlike woods.

"Indeed! That thing with your eyes, you should make it more often. It looks good." Kakashi pointed at her eyes while he spoke, his lone eye looked deep into her emerald ones and for a brief second she forgot where she was. Both got lost in the moment.

Shikamaru noticed the strange tension and knew he had to say something before it got weird, so he chuckled "Yeah, our dear kazekage has made a good catch!"

.

The copy-nin gave her an eye-crinkle and took out his favourite novel, while inner-Sakura began to relax again. She smiled at the intelligent shadow wielder, who eyed her curiously with a smirk.

.

Yep, he knows!

Knows what?

You know!

Know what?

I know!

Ah, shut up.

At least Kankuro isn't suspicious!

Thank God, he's flirting with the waitress!

.

The waitress sat down a cocktail in front of her, it had different shades of pink. "I guess this drink is for you? It's called Sakura Blossom, a special order from your friend. I hope you like it."

Sakura looked around, the only reaction she got was a happy eye-crinkle over the edge of a certain book.

"Thank you!"

He nodded and Shikamaru stole a glance between the two.

.

"Hey Shikamaru, tell me your secret!" Kankuro said in a very hard tone.

Said Konoha-nin rose a brow "What do you mean?"

.

"Tell me, how did you defeat my sister today? She looked like a drowned rat!" The puppet wielder bursted and the others had to join his contagious laughter.

Temari's face had truly been an incredibly funny sight as she had stormed away cursing openly in public all the way down from the arena to the kazekage tower and to her room.

.

Suddenly a girl approached, she greeted Kankuro and then Kakashi and began to whisper with the copy-nin. The black-haired beauty clearly made advances at the jounin implying they had had something together before, due to the snippets of the conversation the pinkette could hear.

The two other boys talked about new strategies for their next sparrings with the fuming blonde, just in case she would want a rematch. Sakura was sitting there uncomfortable in the middle of the booth and had nothing to do than to sip on her drink, while the others were all caught up in deep conversations with their backs turned to her.

As the noise from her straw signalled her cocktail was empty she decided to take the chance and leave. She was bored and secretly couldn't take another woman flirting with her, her…

Sensei is the word!

Whatever!

.

The pinkette stood up and went upstairs, she had smiled to the boys. Probably they would think she was going to the restroom.

She needed air, fresh air and as soon as possible.

In the alley next to the club she decided to stop and breathe to calm down.

.

It's all so fucked up right now.

Why can't I stop to feel for him?

Why do I even feel anything for him?

Why now? Why did he say he missed me?

It's so stupid! Stupid, stupid stupid!

.

She punched the wall and it left a decent crack in the bricks, then she closed her eyes and leaned on a cold house wall as tears began to fall down her pretty face.

.

"Sakura?"

.

Of course it was his voice, ever calm but with a small hint of concern.

She sighed and opened her eyes.

.

"What are you doing here?" Kakashi asked and stepped closer.

The pinkette glared daggers at him.

Sakura stood there in front of him on the cold brick wall with goosebumps and a slight tremble.

She crossed her arms over her chest and tried to keep calm "I just need some air."

.

It was too late to wipe away the small tear meandering down her cheek, but before it could reach her chin, he took a step forward and wiped it away gently with a warm thumb "You're freezing."

She knew she couldn't hide "Dammit, Kakashi. Leave me alone!"

.

His eye bore deep into her soul "I don't think you should be alone right now."

"You know nothing!" Sakura was already shaking, not only from the cold desert night, but she was fuming because he had the audacity to stay in her way, in every possible way she could imagine and he wasn't even conscious of her situation.

.

"What's wrong with you?" He spoke softly as he put a hand on her shoulder in concern, but she shook it off angrily.

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you! Let me be alone!" She spat back as she punched the wall next to him.

.

As in every serious situation the infamous copy-nin kept steady and didn't bat an eye. He knew he had to calm her down before she would explode, so he fell into a fight stance.

"Come at me instead and spare Suna please! Taijutsu."

He didn't have to tell her twice.

.


.

Shikamaru looked out of the window on the wall where the stairs led down into the club where Kankuro was waiting for him to return from the restroom.

Questioning eyes met Kakashi's as he dodged another blow from the pinkette.

The two quick-witted men made a non-verbal agreement, fortunately no other witnessed the fight.

.

Shikamaru nodded and went back to Kankuro to tell him that Sakura felt sick and Kakashi as her official chaperon escorted her home.

"Oh, what a pity for him! Tama was hoping to go home with him." The kazekage's brother smirked.

"Yeah, sometimes fate strikes." Shikamaru chuckled ambiguously.

"Too bad, or should I say just my luck?" The puppet wielder winked at him and ordered a new round of drinks for them and to cheer up the disappointed girl.

.


.

Outside in the back alley the sparring match continued.

At one point Kakashi had caged her with her back to the corner, he pinned her arms on the wall over her head easily.

They were so close their bodies collided, both were breathing hard. She gave up, he let go of her wrists and took a step back.

.

"Kakashi, I need you. I need you near. I need you so much. Please…" she begged for his near, her hands fisted in his army-green flak-jacket. They were so close, she wanted nothing more than to kiss him, to feel him and to be by his side.

His expression looked almost pained, he turned his head to the left and closed his eyes to escape her intrusive orbs for a second "Sakura, I can't! You know I can't." The copy-nin looked at her and continued in his ever stern and collected tone "We can't. We have a mission to accomplish. Focus!"

What surprised her most was he kissed her forehead briefly and teleported them to his room.

.


.

They didn't talk.

He handed her a fresh shirt and his favourite pair of sweat pants, she went wordlessly into his bathroom and changed.

That night Sakura ended up again in Kakashi's bed.

.

They cuddled, he pulled her close to his chest as she began to sob again and calmed her down with friendly kisses on her head and softly caressing her back until she drifted off into sleep.

Normally he preferred to sleep alone, even after sex he would bid the woman goodbye. It had never been his thing to be really close to people, if he was honest he feared near, because whenever he had allowed it, the person had passed away soon. He had never let any woman that near in the sense of intimacy as he did with his former student, but he couldn't deny it that he liked it. It felt too good to have her right there in his arms and to be the one who could soothe her so easily. She was so responsive to his near.

Kakashi found it weird that it felt like home, a safe feeling he had buried so long ago with all the hopes of experiencing it again. With a last inhale of the sweet fragrance of her hair he fell asleep smiling under his mask.

Both were just seeking comfort in each other as their bodies lay unbent and entangled in his beige sheets, glowing in the faint moonlight.

As Sakura was sleeping peacefully in his soothing arms attended with his comforting heart-beat, she dreamed about Tatsuo settling down with her at his farm. Strangely the handsome ANBU began to smile with an eye crinkle and turned more and more into her former sensei…
