13. Irresistible
.
PRESENT:
A very tired looking Kakashi leans on the balustrade of his private balcony, his fingers dig into the wood in desperate need for something to hold on to. He is gazing into distance. The sun indicates that another day has come to an end without any sign of her.
Wherever you may be, I just want you to be happy. You're alive, that's all I've been living for.
.
He is breathing heavily as emotion wins over his strong facade.
"Sakura…", his words are forming, but barely audibly leaving his masked lips.
"I can't stand it anymore… It's killing me."
.
His shoulders are shaking like his shattered heart inside of his chest.
"I'm so sorry." The broken man takes a few calming breaths, "I can't do this anymore… I can't…"
.
The unbeatable ninja legend sinks down to his knees and buries his face in his shaking palms.
"Please forgive me…"
.

PAST:
In the early afternoon Sakura and Kakashi were heading to their destination.
They were walking on the ground next to each other and curious as she was, she had to ask him about his appearance at the hospital when Tatsuo had informed the others of her absence due to a sudden meeting with the hokage.
.
Kakashi in his henge chuckled, "Yep, that was a good excuse."
"What did you say tot hem? I'm still surprised how well Tsunade took it. She wasn't angry, instead she smiled and told me how nice my boyfriend was."
.
"I can be nice sometimes, you know." His handsome smile underlined his words perfectly.
Sakura shook her head, "Oh come on! Tell me what you did that day, please."
.
Tatsuo shrugged, "Nothing special. I just showed up in full ANBU gear minutes before your staff meeting. When they all looked on alert I took off my mask and smiled. Then I told them how deeply sorry I am to bring message that you won't make it in time."
The pinkette stopped in her tracks and frowned, "That's all?"
.
"One of the ladies asked why and I told them hokage-sama kept you busy for the whole night." He gave her an innocent look.
Her face turnt pale, "YOU DID WHAAT?"
.
The brownhaired jounin smirked, "Exactly. Then I scratched the back of my head in unease and said that your help was required for a classified mission and that even I had hoped it wouldn't take that long. We laughed together of my bad choice of words and they poured me some coffee." He shrugged again like it had been the most normal thing in the world.
Sakura looked at him in disbelieve, "You drank coffee with my colleagues?"
.
There was his extremely sexy grin again. "Tatsuo did while we were occupied, remember?"
Impossible man! "So you were playing the poor lonely guy?"
.
"And I didn't have to lie." He just shrugged and gave her a sweet smile.
"If you call sleeping with me a classified mission then yes." The medic-nin stated with a sarcastic chuckle.
.
"Sure. Remember we're both shinobi and this is a secret action involving the hokage personally. Also I recall you took his direct orders, that makes it a classified mission." As always he emphasized his words with dramatic gestures in his typical sensei manner.
The couple burst out into heartful laughter and continued their trip.
.
.
In the middle oft he afternoon they reached the "Leaf's Garden" and checked in. It was a small, but very inviting hotel facility. By its appearance it was a romantic hideout for couples. Kakashi as Tatsuo led her to a bungalow suite which stood at an even more secluded area oft he complex.
He made sure to let Sakura step in first. She was greeted by a small entrée with a wardrobe and cloth racks all in white and an open archway to a well-lit living room from where white double doors led to a beautiful bedroom. The air carried a delirious fragrance of sandalwood, vanilla and a touch of bergamot. The walls were deep teal and accentuated well to the walnut parquet rich of colour nuances. White Victorian furniture and big lustres gave the feeling of being in a castle rather than standing in a little bungalow. Accents in different white and grey tones could be found in the sheets and the couch cushions, the carpet was also grey with a white decoration square framing the anthracite fluffy inside and bordered by a thick grey rectangle of the same material than the inside. A modern floor lamp made of crumpled white paper was standing next tot he couch.
Sakura's eyes drank in the marvellous sight of their housing. On the huge bed that would serve them fort he next nights she found interest on a plaid with a 3D pattern in the same shades oft he room, which was covering grey sheets only on the foot side. Combined with a white canopy made of silk it was setting the luxurious bed in scene.
Classic – royal – modern.
Sakura's mouth fell open, she was speechless. This place was like heaven made from dreams and hopes.
Warm hands stroke her arms as he embraced her from behind.
.
"I hope you like it, Sakura-hime."
"This place is too good to be true."
.
He planted a tender kiss on the crook of her neck and whispered, "We have a small private spa area outside with a little hot spring secluded from unwanted eyes out there." Tatsuo pointed into the direction of the patio door. "The weather is warm and nice, let's spend the rest of our afternoon there enjoying the last sunny days oft he year."
"Now I begin to understand why you said I would be naked for most oft he time." She giggled.
He nodded in appreciation, "See!"
.
The couple spent a few hours on bathing outside and reading novels in the early autumn sun. With their fingers entangled and lying close to each other on a sunbed they took a nap together.
A soft cool breeze woke them up in the early evening.
Sakura shivered, "Did we really fell asleep out here?"
"No worries, the area is safe as I assured you before. We both needed a little rest." He hugged her close and warm hands stroke off the cold from her arms.
.
"I guess so." She relaxed to his touches, but the next cold breeze made her shiver again.
"We should go inside, I bet it's almost time for dinner and my hunger is growing." Playfully his teeth grazed her neck, eliciting goosebumps on her bare skin.
"Always so hungry," she chuckled and bucked her hips against his, "But first I need a shower."
Tatsuo groaned and helped her up, then they got inside.
.
"I'm afraid before we start something more pleasant, I have to go to the reception again to confirm a few arrangements. It won't take long, I promise." He whispers softly into her ear and she turned around to steal a brief kiss. "Take your time and get ready for dinner."
"But I was hoping you would join me in the shower?" Her hands took grip of his jounin vest as his hands came to rest on her hips naturally.
.
"Oh, I can assure you I will." The couple shared a passionate kiss, while he his one hand had a demanding grip on her hip and the other was carefully caressing the back of her head at the same time. With their lips barely apart he whispered, "It has to be done now. I promise to be back immediately."
Sakura sighed and let go with shaking fingers. Her longing for him would never lessen, that she was sure of. The hungry fire in his eyes told her that he felt the same and with one last look at her he left the room.
.
The pinkette was not surprised that their bathroom showed the same elegant and tall grilled windows the other rooms had. The floor was made of white marble, there were grey accents combined with deep purple towels and fluffy bath mats of the same color. Sakura was deeply impressed of the love nest he had chosen for them.
If our bungalow is that luxurious, how would the hotel spa area be!
Remember his words that we could need a good pampering.
Sighing in content she stripped down and went into the broad marble shower with the glass front, although the whirlpool tub looked more tempting.
.
Steam filled the room, as she suddenly felt hands wrapping around herself.
Kakashi.
She turned a little to kiss him and gently they began to wash each other. Instead of having a shower quickie, something they had developed a like for just recently, he dragged her to the whirlpool tub with a deep smirk. Oh, how she loved his real face with the scar and his beautiful mismatched eyes.
As soon as they were inside, they started making out. Of course their hunger for each other was stronger than their hunger for dinner. With strong hands he put her easily up to the tiled edge of the tub, while their urging lips never lost contact. As he bent her back to lean onto the wall the coldness of the marble let her squeak, which was quickly forgotten as his electrifying kisses began to wander over her body and demanding hands parted her legs with a burning smirk. Never leaving her gaze, he started licking her into unbelievable bliss. The pinkette was instantly reminded of the fantasies she had been creating over all these years. In reality it felt much better than in her wildest dreams.
Sakura was still shaking as Kakashi pulled her back into the warm water afterwards and kissed her deeply. Without a warning he turned her around and took her from behind. Like in that one dream she had a long time ago, she was now gripping hard onto the edge of the tub and seeing stars. At some point he couldn't withstand the sight any longer and so he started caressing her backdoor with soft and gentle strokes of his finger. The pinkette rewarded his action with loud moans and shuddered into her next orgasm. Kakashi was just curious , the box he had found in her bedroom had given him too many ideas…
The waves of her peak dragged him along and with an iron grip to rear her up against his body the great copy-nin came hard, too. They were both kneeling upwards in the bubbling tub and trembling hard. Fighting for air they shared a loving kiss, while they were still intimately connected. Tenderly he tucked a pink curl behind her ear and smiled at her, which she gladly returned. The two parted and leaned back into the water to enjoy the soothing whirls just for a little longer.
After a while her stomach drowned out the bubbling water and they both laughed.
"Come on, dinner's waiting!" The silverhead helped her out of the tub and wrapped them both in fluffy purple, then they left the bathroom to put on fresh clothes.
.
Sakura grabbed her bag and returned into the bathroom. "I need a few minutes alone," she stated and closed the bathroom door.
"Sure, I'll go and gather our things from the terrasse."
.
.
Silently Kakashi had put on the clothes he had been wearing at their dinner date at the "Skyline", a slim fitted button-down shirt in a light-grey tone, black jeans and a dark blue jacket. He wasn't even sure if she would remember them, but back then she had told him that she liked them. Kakashi adjusted his hair as he was looking into the mirror and finally, he was pleased, he found he looked good in those clothes anyway.
Right at that moment he heard the bathroom door opened and Sakura returned in her beautiful dress that was imprinted into his memory forever. It was the same delicate black dress and high heels from their dinner date back then. They looked at each other and laughed.
.
"Seems like we had the same idea."
"Yeah." But by the look on her eyes he could tell she preferred Kakashi in that clothes. Nonetheless he had to change his appearance into Tatsuo, before they could leave their suite.
.

Dinner:
There were only a few other couples at the restaurant, which was a noble looking two-story building with dark wooden tables and cozy booths in various distances to each other to grant the best privacy of the lovers. A polite waiter led them to their already prepared table. From there they had a good view of everything surrounding them, but they were out of earshot from others.
The waiter poured them some red wine and served a small plate of starters before he left.
Smiling they fed each other from the tiny wooden picks with olives and feta cheese.
.
"What is this?" Tatsuo pointed at a little, oval antipasti which looked like it was wrapped in bacon.
"Try it and tell me."
.
She fed him with it and he hummed in awe. "So?"
As he had finished, he said "Try it and tell me." Then he leaned forward to capture her lips with his in an enchanting kiss.
.
"Mmmh, you taste like dates and bacon."
He nodded, "Excellent sense of taste."
.
She smiled and took the antipasti from the wooden pick which he offered her.
The waiter returned with a variety of dishes and told them to call for him if they would need anything. Everything in the hotel raised the feeling of privacy and relaxation.
The couple delved into their fine selection of seafood and different kinds of side dishes.
As their first need for food was stilled, they clinked glasses again.
.
Right out of the blue she stated, "I have never believed I'd do such a kinky thing again."
Tatsuo was engaged with separating a mussel from its shell as he looked at her, "What do you mean?"
.
She didn't answer.
Curious he scrutinized her and noticed how the corners of her lips quirked up. "You mean you're wearing it right now?"
.
She nodded with a blush spreading over her cheeks.
The intensity of his gaze clearly amplified, "You have no idea what that little secret does to me."
.
The pinkette mustered up all her courage to award him with a sexy smile, "I hoped you like it." She let her fingers draw little patterns on his hand. "At least it did back then… During our training."
With a barely audible growl he pulled her close, then guided her hand under the table and let it brush over the prominent result to her confession.
Tatsuo took a quick look at her almost finished main plate. "Ready to go?"
.
"What about dessert?" Sakura giggled.
"Exactly." As quick as lightening he pulled her up and they left the restaurant in a beeline to their bungalow suite.
