AN: As the summary suggests, this is a more lemon version of Chapter 23 from my pic "Always You." You don't have to know the entire contents of that story to enjoy this oneshot if you don't want to read an entire fic. But if this is your first time reading my work and you enjoy this, I'd love for you to give the full story a try! At the time of publishing this, I only have one chapter left before completing the story. I decided to make this a oneshot instead of editing the chapter to contain more lemon. The reason is because when I first began writing "Always You" the story was rated "T." I changed the rating when I began writing Chapter 23 for fear of it getting flagged for an inappropriate rating, although I still kept that chapter fairly tame. I didn't want it to be too explicit since I had readers who came into the story thinking there would be no mature content and I didn't want to upset anyone by suddenly changing that.

This is my first time writing any smut so this is a bit of an experiment, which is another reason I have it as a oneshot. Hope you enjoy! I do not own Naruto or any of the characters. P.S. It's my headcanon that Sasuke suddenly gets chatty during sex. Also he likes to watch.

Sasuke was like the deep blue ocean. He was the embodiment of waves that crashed and danced, as beautiful as he was deadly. Beneath the surface lurked darkness so deep and terrifying that it could surely swallow a person whole and pull them to the bottom. And, even with a lifetime, so many of his mysteries may be left undiscovered.

Sakura was like a mermaid that called the ocean her home. She swam into the deepest depths, never letting the pressure scare her, crush her, or tarnish that otherworldly beauty or innocence. She found that the ocean simply had a desperation to be understood. So, she spent her life exploring there, following the pull of the waves. Besides, without the ocean, she wouldn't be able to breathe.

He had told her. Maybe not everything, but almost. It was a step in the right direction and it hadn't scared her away or completely shattered her innocence. It had upset her, as he knew it would. But Sakura understood in her quiet and caring manner that let him be in the way that no one else could. She let him exist wholly as himself and accepted every ugly scar.

Sasuke turned the page of the book on his lap, barely comprehending the words that swam in front of his eyes as he contemplated the silly notion that humans called love. He smirked as he ran a hand through his raven hair.

Love.

Since when was he the type for late-night, romanticized musings?

The notion didn't seem so silly anymore. A part of it still scared him. His heart had once been filled with love. A love for his family, his brother, his clan. He knew what love could do to him if it were ever to be ripped away. Sakura's love had opened his heart again, raw and real. And although that still terrified him...

It filled his existence with meaning.

Sasuke looked up from the book and glanced around Sakura's room. No. It was their room. It was their home. His and Sakura's. He may not be able to call the village his home yet, but Sasuke knew that he would always be home as long so Sakura was nearby.

He'd shared the sacred part of himself that he'd never divulged to anyone. Although Sasuke knew Naruto and Kakashi had become exposed to the dirty details of his past, he hadn't been the one to share the story. But he'd shared it with Sakura. He wanted to share everything with her.

Sasuke smiled softly to himself and turned his attention back to the book once again.

Sakura let the rain of water pouring from the showerhead wash over her skin. She closed her eyes, trying to wash away the images of the lonely boy betrayed by her village. Instead, she replaced those images with Sasuke's lips on hers. She ran her thumb over her bottom lip and hugged her body tightly with her other arm. From there, she touched her shoulder and ran her hand down the length of her body, cupping her slick breasts and squeezing them tightly before sliding them against her slim waist. She pretended it was his touch, worshipping her body.

Her pink lashes batted open, unsure if her skin was flushed from the steam of her shower or the thoughts racing through her mind.

Sasuke-kun shared an intimate part of himself with me.

Now his fingers were in her hair and those mismatched eyes were staring deep into hers.

He... He wants me too, right?

Sakura gingerly stepped out of the shower, grabbing a white towel to dry her body and squeeze most of the water out of her hair. As she wrapped the towel around her body, Sakura stepped in front of the bathroom mirror. Her thoughts swam while she combed her fingers gently through her soft tresses, unable to stop the rampage of fantasies.

Like the way that Sasuke kissed her, gentle at first and then deep with desire. She thought of the way he'd drug her away from the festival, eyes intent like whenever he was on a mission. The way he had pinned her body against a tree, away from prying eyes, to run his hand up the inside of her thigh.

Sakura shivered, despite the steam that still filled the room. There had been hunger behind those onyx and lavender eyes. But not just hunger. Love. He'd shown her his memories of a young boy slowly opening his heart to love. And now, once again, he was opening himself up to her.

The pinkette glanced at her folded night clothes on the bathroom sink. She clutched the towel close to her body, breathing deeply.

You have to confront him! Ino's voice rang in her ears. Wear something sexy. Hell, wear nothing at all! Say something. For the love of gods, do something! When will you finally suck it up and take my advice?

Sakura took a deep, shaky breath and spun on her heel. Leaving the clothes behind, she didn't look back as she clenched her teeth and strode toward their bedroom. She tried not to think too hard about what she was doing. It was hard to form a coherent thought over the deafening sound of her heartbeat, anyway.

Her feat barely stopped in front of the room before Sakura pushed the door open. If she stood still for too long, she'd lose all of the confidence that was barely hanging on by a thread. As she strode into the room, she caught sight of Sasuke reading on the bed under the lamplight.

Sakura's steps faltered and she froze on the spot. What was she supposed to do now?

Sasuke didn't look up at her at first, although he obviously knew of her presence before she'd even opened the door. He continued reading and Sakura stood frozen on the spot, watching the subtle rise and fall of his shoulders with each breath. Those breaths ticked the seconds passing by and it was just long enough for Sakura's senses to come flooding back to her.

What the hell am I doing!?

She considered leaving right then before it was too late. The door was right behind her... She glanced from the door to him with panicked eyes. It was then that Sasuke raised his fingers to turn a page and his eyes shifted up towards her. His hand stuttered, the page falling back into place. Sasuke jolted slightly in surprise and his eyes widened.

Sakura's heartbeat quickened to a frightening pace and she swallowed the lump in her throat as panic began to build. Why did she do this? Why, why, why, why -

Sasuke's facial expression melted from shock into something else that she couldn't quite comprehend. His eyes softened as his gaze slowly, unabashedly traveled down her body. Cool air nipped at Sakura's exposed skin and her breath caught in her throat. Was this how Sasuke looked at her last time when he'd accidentally caught her in this state outside her bathroom door? Or was this a new, growing, more comfortable attraction? Sakura's grip tightened on the towel.

His adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed tightly, enticing her. "Sakura-ka?" he asked, voice strained. "What are you doing?"

She took a shaky breath, trying to will her legs not to shake as she pulled forth all of her remaining courage. "You want this too... right?"

Sasuke's eyes bored into hers, but he said nothing. His gaze didn't falter. It was quiet and contemplative. As the silence stretched, Sakura's stomach dropped. Her face flushed and courage was replaced by sheer mortification.

"Th-This is stupid," she said as tears pricked her eyes. "I'm sorry!"

She turned to dash out of the room. Before her foot could make contact with the floor to take a single step forward, Sasuke had crossed the length of the room in a fraction of a breath to catch her wrist. Sakura spun towards him, the breath sucked out of her from being startled. She knew he was fast but-

Sasuke towered over her, catching her gaze in his once again. "Don't go," he said, hand holding fast to her wrist. "I didn't mean it like that." He sighed. "It was a lot to take in."

She said nothing as she watched him. Her mind had even quieted as she waited with bated breath. Sasuke released her wrist and carefully reached his fingers to run them through her wet hair. His fingers traveled from her hair to her cheek, running past her jaw, over her neck, and to her shoulder. His touch spread goosebumps in its wake, only stopping its journey to draw lazy circles over the skin of her shoulder. Sakura closed her eyes, focusing on the sensation of his touch.

He was touching her in the way that she had imagined he would. But this was so much better than anything her mind could conjure.

Sakura closed her eyes in pleasure and a sigh escaped her lips that did something to him. Something primal locked deep within his gut. He continued again, eyes flickering from her face to his knuckles dragging across her collarbone to the top of her breasts. He traced the outline of her cleavage and was stopped from moving further by the edge of the towel. He pinched the offending fabric in his fingers and brought curious eyes back to her face.

Reading her expression to ensure this is truly what she wanted, he asked, "Are you sure?"

The pinkette's eyes fluttered open, heavy and slow as if his touch made her drunk. She nodded slowly, those green eyes almost pleading. "I want you, Sasuke-kun."

Not needing to hear more or even able to hold back any longer, with a flick of his fingers, the towel came undone. It glided from her body onto the ground and, out of instinct, Sakura's hands moved to cover her naked body.

He grabbed her wrist again to stop her and muttered, "Don't you dare."

Sakura's eyes widened but he paid no attention. He was too busy drinking in every inch of her, every curve and peak from her full, milky breasts to the folds trapped between clenched thighs. It was more beautiful a sight than any scenic view the Uchiha had experienced while traveling. His mouth dried up when he noticed her nipples hardening beneath his gaze, feeling as if he needed water more desperately than when he'd trudged across the land of Suna.

When his eyes had sufficiently traveled the length of her toned legs, tight stomach, and perky breasts, they finally found their way back to her face. He must have appeared like a starving man. Sakura's ears were tipped bright red, mouth open, and eyes wide as she read his expression.

Desire.

Sakura could finally put a word to that nameless expression that had crossed his features so many times before. Why had she never realized this was the way he'd been looking at her all this time? It was a loving desire mixed with adoration and curiosity. For her.

Sasuke liked what he was seeing. And he wanted to know more.

All of the embarrassment Sakura had previously been feeling seemed to melt away as she faced such an alluring expression. What replaced it was equal parts longing and a desperate need to touch him. It wasn't fair for her to be the only one standing in this room, exposed.

"You can touch me if you want," she whispered. It seemed wrong to fill such a scene with loud noise.

But it seemed that was all he needed to hear. Sasuke's lips captured hers, hard and hungry as his tongue immediately found purchase against her own. A moan escaped her as his fingers gripped her waist to pull her body flush against him. With her chest pressed firmly against his, he traveled his kisses down to her jaw and neck. Sasuke's hot tongue licked away any remaining water droplets on her skin.

Sakura groaned as her fingers clutched the hem of his shirt. They edged underneath the fabric and grazed the skin of his hips. Sasuke shuddered in delight at the feeling as he bit down on her neck. She gasped and pulled at the fabric, in desperate need to have her skin meet his. He obliged her silent request and tugged the shirt over his head. Sakura's face flushed at the sight of his exposed chest, taking in his chiseled form hardened by years of relentless training. Soon, her body was against his once again and he seemed to delight in the feeling of her breasts pressing tightly against him.

His hand met her stomach and moved towards her mounds, exploring the parts of her body that were foreign to him. He began by tracing his fingers back and forth across the underside of her breasts and Sakura let out a sharp gasp at the sensation. She arched her back into him and he smirked against her lips.

"So sensitive..." he chuckled and grasped one of her breasts fully now. "And we've barely gotten started."

Sakura moaned and he pulled away from her. Sasuke watched closely as he experimentally squeezed, her breast spilling over his fingers. They were as soft and squishy as he'd imagined they'd be whenever he found himself fantasizing about this moment. What he hadn't expected was how she filled his hand. The breast he massaged moved easily with every motion he made and the other bounced every time Sakura's body jerked with pleasure.

She moaned, gripping her fingers on his waist as he delicately massaged her, moving to the other breast now to give it equal attention. Curiously, he flicked his thumb over a hardened nipple and she sucked air sharply through her teeth.

"Oh! Sasuke-kun..." Sakura moaned, biting her lip.

Feeling encouraged, he flicked her nipple repeatedly this time before pinching it between his fingers.

"Yes," she breathed, throwing her head back in satisfaction. "Do that."

He rolled her nipple between his thumb and index finger. They weren't experienced in this but still, every sensation he made her feel seemed so raw and right. Sasuke wanted to make her melt with pleasure. His competitive nature demanded he do so. Wanted her to feel every ounce of love that she made him experience throughout all these years. He'd never been good with his words and tended to express his feelings through actions, anyway. But the lone Uchiha was a starving man. He could have devoured every inch of her right then and there, harshly. Instead of doing so, he pulled himself back. There was time. Plenty of nights for ravenous, primal love. He would make sure of that.

Tonight, their first night, he wanted to be sensitive towards Sakura and take his time. He knew there would be some amount of pain for her, but he wanted to make sure it was as painless as possible. He was unfamiliar with how to pleasure a woman. This was uncharted territory for them both. Still, he wasn't completely clueless. Besides the disgusting details he'd tried to block out from other men's dalliances, Sasuke had his trained, keen senses to fall back on. Senses that allowed him to adapt quickly as his eyes read his lover's reactions with every movement he made.

And Sasuke planned to study the map of Sakura's body as if it were a life-or-death mission.

So, he continued slowly regardless of how painful it was for him. Even though he wanted to throw her against the bed and plunge himself into her warmth, right then and there. Thinking about it had his already aching cock twitching beneath his sweatpants. He watched her satisfied expression as he pinched and rolled Sakura's nipple between his fingers continuously.

He reached towards her exposed neck and nipped at the skin as he used his fingers to gently caress her breast before drawing circles around the nipple. Sakura wound her hands into his raven locks as he licked down her neck, nipping at her collarbone before continuing towards her breasts.

"W-What are you doing?" she asked breathlessly, her head now looking down at him wide-eyed.

"Shhh... Trust me."

She quieted and watched as he slowly licked down towards her breast, squeezing the other in his right hand. His gaze lifted to her as he lightly flicked his tongue against the perky pink patch of skin.

She sucked air between her teeth and yanked on his hair as emerald eyes met his onyx and lavender.

He hummed and flicked his tongue against her again. "You like that?"

"God, yes."

Feeling smug, he flicked his tongue back and forth more quickly, before taking the nipple fully into his mouth and sucking. He swirled his tongue around it once, twice, three times and lightly nipped his teeth on the sensitive skin.

"Ah!" Sakura cried out, pressing his face more fully into her breasts.

Using his hand, Sasuke squeezed her boobs together and buried his face between them, dragging his teeth across her skin. They were so soft against his face that he would happily die there. As he moved his mouth to repeat the same ministrations to her other breast, Sasuke's fingers slowly trailed across her tight stomach. Knowing the route, he was planning to take, Sakura gripped his hair tighter.

The feeling of her pulling his hair stung and he was surprised by how much he liked it. Naturally, it made his mind wander to thoughts of yanking on pink locks as he furtiously rammed his cock into her from behind.

Maybe next time.

His fingers found the warm spot between her legs and his eyes flickered towards the pinkette's face to watch her reactions. He found that she was already looking down intently at him and their eyes met. He began by tracing the outline of her folds before slowly slipping her finger between them. Sakura blushed as he felt how insanely wet she was for him.

He pulled away from her breast and stood fully now to look down at her. Smirking, he said, "You're this excited already?"

And oh when her neck heated from his words, he noticed splotches of red form on her breasts. Is that what happened when he made her blush like this in the past? Sakura turned away in embarrassment and Sasuke removed his hand to turn her face towards him.

"Look at me," he demanded. Sakura's eyes widened as they met his again. "I want to see how much you're enjoying this."

Sakura's mouth opened it an o and now he was picturing himself thrusting his cock between her parted lips. Of holding her head against him as he fucked her mouth until she gagged on his length and swallowed his seed. He reigned in his intrusive thoughts, determined to focus solely on pleasuring her. Face mere inches from her and eyes staring into one another, Sasuke brought his hand back down and repeated the motion of tracing outside of her before inserting his finger between them again painfully slow. He traced his fingers around the inside of her folds, trying to touch every inch as he made his way to the center. He dragged his finger up and down the middle of her pussy and Sakura bit her lip and closed her eyes.

Sasuke nipped her ear with his teeth. "I told you to look at me," he whispered, hot breath grazing her ear.

Sakura's pink lashes batted open and it was obvious she was having trouble keeping her eyes on him. Still, half-lidded she looked into his mismatched eyes and he rewarded her by making his way up towards her clit. She sucked air between her teeth sharply and Sasuke smiled down at her as he began to circle the bundle of nerves.

As his fingers grazed that warm spot between her legs, he watched so he could find the right spots and movements that would cause noises he'd never heard before to escape her lips. She seemed to particularly like whenever he flicked and pressed down to massage her clit. How wet she had become for him made it easier, allowing his fingers to glide smoothly around her heat. He felt her legs begin to tremble and Sasuke glanced down.

And damn they were just getting started and this was the reaction he was getting? He wondered if he could make her entire body tremble with passion. He wanted to feel her legs shake while wrapped around him. Worried though that she may collapse to the floor, Sakura yelped as Sasuke threw her over his shoulder with one arm.

"S-Sasuke-kun!"

He chuckled. "Don't worry. I'm just trying to make sure you're more comfortable for what's next."

"Next...?"

Sasuke gently laid her onto the bed and Sakura's pretty pink hair spilled across the pillow. Instinctively, she squeezed her legs together to hide herself but still rubbed her thighs to alleviate the pressure he'd built up in her. Oh fuck, it was killing him in the sweetest way to see her naked and submissively laying on the bed before him.

Take your time.

That's right. There were still more parts of her to explore.

Sasuke climbed over her and slid his hand up her thigh and pressed on her legs to open them. But Sakura kept her legs in an iron lock, seemingly shy all of a sudden for what he might see from this position.

"Open your legs, Sakura. I want to see."

She squeezed her eyes shut. "It's embarrassing!"

Sasuke grabbed her hand and pressed it against the bulge in his pants. Her eyes snapped open and she looked down at her hand cupping the stretched fabric. Hand positioned over hers, he slowly ran her small palm up and down his hardened member, and damn did it feel good even with two layers of clothing.

"Listen to me and I'll let you return the favor."

After a pause, she nodded hesitantly and slowly opened her legs to him. Sasuke sat back on his heels and pushed her legs open wider to get a better look as she presented her sparkling wet pussy. His Sharingan sprung to life and his superior eyesight caught the trickle of moisture that ran from her folds to stain the bedsheets. He licked his lips and continued to watch her like a hawk as he ran his fingers up and down her heat. He traced the outline of her opening and slowly inserted a finger into it.

Sakura moaned and clutched the sheet beneath her. Sasuke's eyes widened, cock twitching again at how tight she felt. A part of him worried how she would take him later with how tight she was but another part of him felt excited by how she would feel clenched around him. Needing to prepare her for what was to come, Sasuke moved his finger around inside of her before slowly removing it

"Ah!"

"That's right, Sakura," he said, sliding his finger back inside of her slowly. "Tell me how much you like that."

She groaned as Sasuke slowly worked his finger in and out of her. He stuck his finger farther in this time and curled it, rubbing a rough patch of skin.

Her mouth opened wide but no sound came out. Sasuke frowned.

He rubbed at this time and chided, "I told you to tell me. I need to know. Do you like it when I do this?"

"Y-yes!"

Sasuke smiled and removed his finger before plunging it into her more forcefully. She cried out and her walls clamped around his digit. Carefully, he slid in a second finger and made a scissoring movement inside of her to stretch her open. Once she was accustomed to the added thickness inside of her, Sasuke pumped his fingers with more speed and force. Her body rocked with the sensation, breasts bouncing beautifully.

Sakura moaned his name and his chest clenched at the sound of it. He was doing it. Sasuke was pleasuring her in the way no man ever would. He was making her feel good. And he wanted to make her feel even better. Wanted her to shatter with pleasure again and again. To taster her release... An idea formed his mind.

Suddenly, Sasuke removed his fingers and Sakura groaned at their absence, so close to release. Hazily, she blinked up at him as he brought his fingers towards his mouth. Wide-eyed and realizing what he was about to do, he licked his sopping wet fingers to taste her essence. Red crept over her entire body and he smiled, wondering if she knew how cute it was to see her looking so innocent even in this sinful position.

The Uchiha hummed with satisfaction at her taste and began to lower his head towards her thighs. He wanted to eat her, to drink in every last drop before it could hit the bedsheets. Instinctively, Sakura moved to close her legs again but his reflexes were quick enough to stop her this time. Sakura's face heated as he situated his head in front of her pussy and licked his lips again. "I want to taste more of you," he said and gave her a tentative lick.

She gasped and her hands found purchase in his hair. He smirked and licked her again, swirling his tongue around her lips.

"Fuck Sasuke-kun," she hissed.

He shivered, always loving the way she said his name. Silently, he set a goal to make sure she screamed it. This time, Sasuke ran his tongue on her more forcefully before moving towards her clit to flick his tongue against it. Her moans grew louder and more insistent as her thighs squeezed his head to pull him closer.

He ran fast circles with his tongue over her clit before pulling it fully into his mouth to suck on it. That got an exciting reaction that involved her body jerking as she panted above him. He pulled back as he sucked on the nub before releasing it with a loud pop. Out of all of his fantasies, this had been one of his favorites. The idea praising of her with his mouth as she writhed with pleasure. He'd thought about this moment with such regularity as if he'd been training for the event. And she tasted so much better than he could have ever imagined.

He grazed his teeth over the beautiful little bud this time and nipped on it lightly. She yanked so hard on his raven hair that he was surprised she hadn't ripped any out. He heard the bed shift and glanced up, seeing that Sakura had leaned up to watch him. He smirked, determined to give her a good show.

The Uchiha angled his head and pulled back a bit as he extended his tongue to flick against her pussy. He kept mismatched eyes on widened emerald irises. Sasuke's heart skipped a beat when she smoothed her hand over his forehead to move the hair out of his eyes. It seemed like Sakura liked to watch just as much as he did. Absentmindedly, he wondered where he could find a mirror to fuck her in front of some time. Maybe they could buy a full length mirror the next time they were out.

He lowered his head to tongue her entrance and pushed it in as far into her as he could manage.

"Oh gods, Sasuke-kun. You have no idea how amazing that feels."

After tonguing her entrance for a bit, Sasuke moved to insert two fingers back inside of her. He took her clit into his mouth to suck on it as he pounded his fingers into her. As she moaned and threw her head back, Sasuke began to set an unforgiving pace. He refused to stop as she wrapped her trembling legs around his head. Head fully buried into her, he flicked his tongue quickly on her pussy and felt her entire body tense.

With a yell, Sakura came against his tongue and he greedily licked up every drop. His fingers slowed but he continued to pump inside of her, letting her ride out the high of her orgasm. Overwhelming pride filled his chest, happy that he could make her feel as good as this. He hadn't made her cry. Hadn't broken her heart.

Sakura sighed and a wide smile spread across her face.

He'd made her happy.

Sasuke sat up and leaned over Sakura, pushing his tongue past her lips so she could get a taste of the juices he'd just drank in. Her small hands moved towards his pants, cupping her hand around his hardened member. He smirked against her lips.

"Impatient?" he asked, looking down at her.

She was still gasping, pretty breasts heaving up and down. "I just... I want to make you feel this good."

He kissed her sweetly. "You have no idea how much you already make me feel."

Still, he eagerly sat up with her, excited at the prospect of releasing the pressure in his pants. She eagerly began to stroke him over the fabric and his cock twitched at the sensation. Sakura bit her lip and moved to the waistband of his sweatpants to tug them downwards.

Sakura still felt high and light-headed from her orgasm, but adrenaline pumped through her veins at the feeling of the effect she had on him. She avoided his gaze as he intently watched her tug his pants down. His Sharingan was activated and while that warmed her heart, knowing he wanted to imbed every moment into his memory, it also made her feel self-conscious. She knew it wasn't lost on him how quickly her heart was pounding or how much her hands shook. Slowly removing the fabric, Sakura watched the trail that began just below his hips until his manhood popped out, presenting himself to her. Her eyes widened at the sight of him fully exposed and she gulped.

How the hell was she supposed to fit that inside of her?!

Sasuke huffed a soft laugh. "Is it that bad?"

Sakura bit her lip as her eyes trailed the full width of it. "It's... big." It had initially been uncomfortable when Sasuke inserted a second finger inside of her. She gulped at the thought of fitting more than that but... Her face heated. To have Sasuke inside of her, holding her close as he made love to her. The thought was more exciting than her fleeting fears.

Realizing that he was waiting on her to do something, Sakura's hands shook as she wrapped her hand around it to feel the full width. Immediately, Sasuke hissed and she flinched, snapping her hand back.

"Did I hurt you?"

Sasuke shook his head. "No, I just..." His eyes were squeezed closed and his hand gripped her thigh. "Please keep going."

Sakura's eyes widened. Did that one touch already make him feel... good?

Sasuke had made her feel the kind of pleasure she'd never thought to be possible. Sure, Sakura had satisfied her desires while thinking of the Uchiha. But his touch against her couldn't be compared to lone nights of working through her own needs. The feel of his rough hand against her body... Did her touch elicit the same kind of fire?

She began with light strokes, feeling the veins along his length before trailing her fingers towards the head of him. Sasuke sighed in satisfaction and rested against her shoulder. She smiled and experimented further. Her feather-like touches swirled around the head of his cock, spreading the precum that had leaked out.

He gripped her shoulder tightly as she grasped him fully in her hand and used her thumb to swirl circles around his head. Tentatively, she gave him an experimental pump and he hissed again, burying his face into her neck. She smiled and started with slow rhythm, just as he had when he'd been fingering her.

"Just... a little harder," Sasuke mumbled into the crook of her neck.

Sakura blushed and squeezed a bit tighter.

"Harder," he said.

Sakura squirmed, worried that she might hurt him. With her chakra-enhanced strength, a flick of her finger could crush boulders. She didn't want to accidentally squeeze him too hard.

"Could... could you show me?" she asked, feeling a little ashamed at needing help.

But Sasuke's hand found hers without a moment's hesitation. He helped her grip him in the way that he liked and that had Sakura's thoughts swimming. Had he touched himself too while fantasizing about her? She hadn't considered it before because the prospect seemed so unlikely. But now...

Sakura pumped him again and he moaned against her skin. As Sakura began to work him, she felt like the friction was too rough. Her wetness had allowed Sasuke's fingers to move easily against her and intensified the pleasure, which made her wonder what if...

She removed her hand and slowly brought it towards her face. Curious about the absence of her touch, Sasuke lifted his head and blinked at her. Blushing, Sakura watched him as she licked her palm and his eyes widened. Satisfied, the pinkette grabbed him again and asserted the right pressure as she gave him another pump.

"Fuck!" he groaned. Sakura's hand moved more easily against him now and she twisted her hand on his cock as she worked him up and down.

Sasuke's half-lidded gaze watched the hand that satisfied him and she kept her eyes trained on his face for new signs of pleasure. She experimented with speeds, gliding her hand slowly up his cock before forcefully ramming it down the full length of him.

His hand shot out and gripped her thigh. "Goddamnit, Sakura."

Warmth pooled in her belly at the sound of her name. She was doing it. Sakura was actually pleasuring Sasuke in a way no one else ever had or could. Feeling brave, Sakura brought her mouth to his ear as she continued to drive her hand up and down his thick cock. She kissed the lobe of his ear before licking the outside of it.

Sasuke actually moaned as he gripped her leg so hard that she was sure there'd be bruises from his fingers the next day. She continued and nipped her teeth on his ear before she licked inside of it. Her hand picked up speed, pumping him fast and hard. Sasuke began to pant, the only sound in the room being his heavy breathing and the slick sounds of Sakura beating his cock.

She relished all of it and wetness pooled between her thighs. Sakura moaned into his ear and sat up on her knees. Using her other hand to leverage against his shoulder to find a better angle, Sasuke used this as an opportunity to bring his fingers back to stroke her pussy once again.

"Mmm, Sasuke-kun. That feels so good," she whispered into his ear. "I love it when you touch me."

He shivered at the sound of her wicked voice moaning praises into his ear. Sakura stroked him, testing until she found the right pressure that would cause his fingers to fumble in their movement against her pussy. When she gave him a particularly forceful pump, he moved to grip her body tightly as she continued her sinful ministrations, feeling like he was barely hanging on by a thread. Was this the same woman who had been blushing furiously when he'd exposed himself to her mere moments ago? She didn't seem so shy now.

Sasuke realized that he enjoyed the feeling of Sakura coming undone beneath him and coming undone for her as well. He relished the way she had melted into his hand and threw her head back in intense satisfaction. Of when his mouth was on her soft chest and the way he had felt her body welcoming him as he pumped his fingers in and out of her heat. It brought forth sensations that he never believed could exist in a world such as this.

He wanted to make it his hobby to find new ways to make her toes curl. At one point in his life, Sasuke had made this woman feel unbearable sorrow. Now, with a twitch of his fingers and caress of his tongue, Sakura would sigh or shout his name, eliciting a shiver up his spine. He wanted to spend his future discovering every inch of her body and having those small hands return the favor. Hands that he knew were meant for love and healing.

It was uncharted territory and the most interesting experiment discovering how to handle the other. Even the threat of her strong grip clutching him that could shatter bones or her nails digging into the skin of his shoulder brought forth an exciting sensation. At a dark point, they'd tried to kill each other. Now, they trusted one another so completely in a way Sasuke had never dared to dream possible.

She was pumping him quickly now and Sasuke could feel himself close to release. But it was too soon, there was more fun to be had. The Uchiha grasped her wrist and threw her against the bed, legs locking her into place. Sakura's eyes widened and he held her arm up above her head. He stared into those pretty green eyes of hers as he lowered his head to kiss her sweetly on the lips.

Her fingers twitched. "Sasuke-kun," she whispered against his mouth. "I want to touch you some more."

He bit her lip. "Not right now."

She squirmed beneath him and he pulled back to watch her expression. Her eyes flickered down between them. "But... I thought I could..." She licked her lips.

Sasuke's eyes widened. Oh.

He sighed. "I want that. Trust me, I do. But I don't think I'd last much longer if you did."

Sakura's eyes flicked back up to meet his and she blushed, ears tinting the deepest shade of red. Sasuke smirked and leaned down to lick her ear in the way she had to him.

"But I'll make sure we do that next time," he whispered and nibbled at her lobe. "Promise."

"Next time?" she asked, hopeful.

"Next time."

They kissed for a while as Sasuke tried to get his bearings. Her nails raked up and down his back as he lay on top of her, fingers tracing patterns along his skin. Feeling curious, Sasuke let go of her wrist and leaned his weight to the side so as not to crush her beneath him. He tucked his lone hand beneath her back and glided it down until he cupped her ass. She yelped and he squeezed the flesh in his palm. It rivaled the feel of holding her breasts and Sasuke couldn't think which was his favorite. He loved every inch of her.

Sasuke hovered over her body. Through heavy breaths, he asked, "Are you ready?"

Without hesitation, Sakura nodded, face flushed and sweating.

Sakura opened her legs wider and he positioned himself at her entrance. He leaned down and held her close as they molded into each other. Connected, whole...

Complete.

Sakura hissed and he immediately stopped. "I'm okay," she breathed. "Keep going."

Sasuke shuddered. She may be okay, but he certainly wasn't. The sensation of being inside her, wrapped by her warmth, was almost too much for him to bear. Her walls clamped around his pulsing cock and he struggled to keep his sanity, to make this last. He needed this to last for as long as they both could hold out. The Uchiha took a shaky breath to collect himself.

With Sakura's legs wrapped around his torso, he began an agonizingly slow rhythm. He pulled his cock out to the tip before gently gliding it back in. Every slight movement had him seeing stars. She was so fucking tight.

Sasuke watched her closely for any signs of discomfort but it was odd how pleasure and pain could look so similar. Furrowed brows, a scrunched-up face, gritted teeth, a sudden yell. His red and lavender eyes didn't miss any detail and caught the subtle change as her body grew used to taking him. Sasuke had never been more grateful than now to have this ocular jutsu that recorded a moment as precious as this.

Sakura blinked up at him, her sparkling green eyes staring into pools of red and lavender. Her gaze softened and she bit her lip as she bucked her hips up to meet his. He immediately caught the reaction, seeing the way her teeth pulled at the soft pink flesh of her bottom lip. Next, he noticed a bead of sweat that trickled across her jaw and down her neck. Impulsively, Sasuke reached out to grab her chin and licked it away. Sasuke moaned on top of her, relishing the salty taste of her mixed with their lovemaking.

His stomach tightened and he pulled his hips back and paused before ramming his cock forcefully into her.

"Ah! Sasuke-kun!"

Sasuke repeated the action and she yelped. He hummed. "You like that?"

She didn't say anything and he sat up on his knees. Grabbing her ass in his palm, he pulled her closer to him and thrust his hips forcefully into her again.

"Y-Yes!" She yelled. "God, yes, Sasuke-kun! Please!"

Once more, Sasuke pulled himself almost completely out of her before thrusting himself so hard into her that he hit a spot that had her screaming. Sakura's hand shot out and grabbed him, forcefully pulling him back towards her chest.

She groaned. "I need it, Sasuke-kun. Faster."

He smiled, more than happy to oblige this request. Sakura blinked up at him again, her heavy breaths causing her chest to heave up and down, down, down. He watched it all and stared deep into her eyes as the tips of his fingers wove into her rosy locks.

"You're so beautiful, Sakura."

Sakura opened her mouth to answer, but he never got to hear what she was going to say. It was then that Sasuke picked up his speed, creating a new wave of thrilling sensations. Sasuke drove into her quickly, the sound of their hips smacking into each other filling the room. She cried out and raked her sharp nails down his back in response to feelings that had them both teetering on the edge of overwhelming. Tears pricked the corners of her eyes but a smile of ecstasy crossed her lips that lit up the dark corners of the room. She didn't have to say anything.

Their feelings were connected, after all.

Sasuke clenched his eyes shut and gritted his teeth as he kept up the unforgiving pace. With every inch of his might, he held on, determined that she would reach orgasm. His stomach was wound in knots and when Sakura finally came, walls clamping around him, it shattered the last of his self-control. With a particularly harsh thrust, Sasuke met her orgasm with his own and came inside of her. His arm snaked around her waist and he pumped inside of her clumsily a few more times, riding out the waves of his own orgasm.

As the last of his seed shot inside of her, Sasuke stilled and breathed heavily against her neck. The sound of their gasps filled the quiet room and they stayed together like that for a time. Bodies connected and his cock twitching inside of her with Sakura's legs still wrapped around his torso, keeping him close.

It was a wonder, feeling his body molded so completely with hers. Fitting perfectly together, almost as if they'd been made for one another.

Sliding on the edge of consciousness, Sakura could feel calloused fingers gliding across her abdomen. It brought forth the image of soft kisses peppered onto cheeks and rosy hair. Her eyes twitched behind closed lids, as her mind conjured fantasies of a man showering her with love. She could see him so clearly now, running his hand up the length of her body. She fit so snuggly beneath his grip, almost as if the gods themselves had made her for this man.

She could almost feel herself melting beneath that touch. Could feel him coming undone for her too whenever her own hands found the right pressure and rhythm. Broad shoulders hovered over her, muscles twitching. His manhood filled her to the brim and every slight motion he made inside of her caused a new wave of ecstasy. As she touched him, she couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to trail kisses down his stomach. To have her mouth around -

"Ow!"

Sakura rubbed the bridge of her nose as her eyes flew open. Sasuke smirked over her, having just pinched her nose to force her awake.

"What was that for?" she whined.

"It seemed like you were having a good dream," Sasuke said. His raven locks spilled over her face as he pecked her nose with a chaste kiss. "Had to stop it before it outdid last night."

"Last night...?"

It was then that Sakura became acutely aware of the covers skimming her naked body. Sasuke's equally clad form lay next to her and she glanced down at his muscular abdomen. A blush dusted her cheeks and soon spread to her entire body, engulfing her in heat. Those fantasies she was dreaming... They weren't fantasies, they were memories.

Sasuke's eyebrows knitted together, observing her reaction. "Are you sore?"

Sakura squeaked in surprise and slapped her hands against his chest. "S-Sasuke-kun!"

The Uchiha chuckled softly and his eyes softened as her blush deepened to a maroon color. She blinked up at him in wonderment. Did he seem more confident with her now? Over their months together, Sasuke had made a hobby out of teasing the pink kunoichi. But this seemed... different. More intimate. Like he was comfortable with her on an entirely new level.

"D-did you have a good birthday?" Sakura asked lamely, trying to change the subject but noticing that her hands still rested against his chest.

His lip twitched upwards. "Ah. If every birthday is like that, I might have to stop complaining about them."

She blushed again and he huffed a laugh. Sasuke rolled over and stood from the bed, letting the covers easily slide off his body. Sakura's eyes widened at the sight of his bare backside as he rolled out the kinks in his neck. She shrieked and bashfully turned her head away.

She heard him scoff at her reactions. "Hn. I look that bad?"

"N-no!" She grimaced at how lame that sounded and her eyes shifted towards him. Noticing now that more than one part of him was facing her, Sakura quickly averted her gaze to observe a newly fascinating spot on the bedroom wall. "It's just... different in broad daylight. I mean-" She stopped and swallowed, worried that she may babble and say something embarrassing.

How could she explain it? They'd seen every part of each other last night. But there was something different about having the darkness engulfing the room as they'd made passionate love. It was like a well-kept secret that softened the edges and made everything more private.

Oh gods...

Her heart thundered at the thought of getting out of this bed and him seeing her equally naked. She'd stood clad in front of him last night, as he was with her now. The daylight weirdly made it seem so much more intimidating.

Where the hell did I get all of that courage last night?!

And then another thought quickly formed.

Ino will be so proud.

Sasuke sighed, pulling her away from these intrusive thoughts. "I guess we'll have to take the time to get used to it."

"Get used to...?"

At the sound of shuffling, Sakura glanced back at Sasuke to see him sliding on a pair of boxers. Without him watching her, she could freely drink in his form. The way his shoulder blades and the muscles on his arm flexed with each movement. And the way his back...

"Oh my god, Sasuke-kun!"

Without much thought, Sakura jolted from the bed and rushed to his side. Sasuke started to turn towards her but she pushed him to face away again so she could observe his back.

"Are these...?" she asked, unable to form the words out loud.

Sasuke bent his head, trying to get a view of what was causing such a reaction. Catching the sight of a red, angry mark next to his shoulder, Sasuke cocked an eyebrow.

"Are those your nail marks? Ah."

Sakura covered her mouth in sheer horror. "I-I'm sorry, I-"

Sasuke turned towards her again and this seemed to snap her back to attention. She attempted to bolt back to the bed to avoid having to face more than one embarrassment but Sasuke's quick reflexes allowed him to snatch her wrist. With a tug from the Uchiha, Sakura found herself against his chest as his lone arm moved to trap her around the waist. He bare breasts pressed against his chest and she could already feel her nipples pebbling with arousal.

He leaned in towards her ear. "You're the only one I'd ever freely allow to mark my skin."

Sakura sucked in a sharp breath and felt her face heat to ten different shades of red. Sasuke pulled away and the corner of his mouth tugged upwards at her shell-shocked response. As quickily as these actions happened, he had pulled away from her again to continue dressing.

Blinking away her surprise, Sakura quickly grabbed the blanket and threw it around her shoulders to hide her nakedness. "Um... are you going somewhere?" she asked.

"Kakashi requested I meet with him this morning."

"Is everything okay?"

Sasuke gave a noncommittal shrug. "I suppose I'll find out when I get there."

Sakura gripped the blanket tighter around her as the Uchiha walked up to her once he was fully dressed. He looked down and leaned his head towards her, raven locks almost spilling onto her face. Holding her breath, Sakura closed her eyes in anticipation and wondered if his kiss would be soft or heated or passionate or -

"I'll be back with lunch," Sasuke said.

Sakura's eyes fluttered open, noticing the Uchiha was already walking out the door. Frustrated, she chucked a pillow that narrowly missed him and hit the door instead as it closed. She could hear his soft chuckle on the other side and groaned as she flopped back onto the bed.

Sometimes his teasing was just too harsh.

Sakura smiled softly and threw the blankets up to cover her head, determined to catch a few more hours of blissful dreaming. There were simply a few moments that she wanted to relive.
