It's me, I just wanted to give you guys a head's up. This story has changed to M and is now a "lemon" there is not sex but there is detailed foreplay so if you are not interested in reading that, I suggest you stop after his confession where there is (in my opinion) only minor heavy petting. Please enjoy and review! Thank you!
~ Chapter 6: This is it ~
After changing and putting the top layer of her hair into a messy bun but leaving a strand out on either side of her face, Sakura walked over to the sink and stared at herself in the mirror. She grabbed the edge of the counter and held it tightly. "Look you," Started to herself. "We are pretty fucking hot. A little plumper but still banging. That man out there? He likes what he sees. We will not let inner fuck this up." Somewhere in the confines of her mind Inner throws open her arms in confusion. Sakura lightly slapped her cheeks and stepped back to give herself one more look.
Ino packed her black high waisted luxe leggins with 3 buttons on each side of her hips and red lace bodysuit to tuck in. The straps were thin red silk and the built in push up bra gave her a nice cleavage. Thankfully Pig also packed her a set of black short 2 inch heels. Although this outfit was possibly not the best for baking, she knew Ino wanted her to get laid and was thankful she didn't pack just the teddy. Ino even thought to put Sakura's favorite perfume in her bag for a little refresh.
Sakura walked out of the bathroom with her backpack on one arm. As she waited for Itachi she held her hands behind her back. Itachi walked out as she was slowly twirling on her heels. Her face broke out into a smile as she looked at him and saw him check her out. She did the same and decided he looked deathly attractive in a simple pair of joggers and gray form fitting workout shirt. His hair was back in a bun too. Sakura subconsciously licked her lips. Itachi followed the movement with sultry eyes. Slowly his eyes met hers and she felt goosebumps rise on her arms in the most delicious way. "I can take that for you." He said in a husky voice. She took her bag strap into her hand.
He stepped up chest to chest with her and bent down slightly to take the bag from her. She felt his hand caress down her arm to her hand and take her bag. With his face next to hers he planted a kiss right in front of her left ear. Sakura felt her body ignite at his lips and bit down hard on her lip to keep from grabbing him for more. Once Itachi was standing again he saw her flushed face and hazy eyes. He needed to get his grip or they wouldn't even make it to the back. You are a gentleman. Contain it. He thought to himself.
He burned inside, placing both of their bags on the counter top. "I have a few desserts planned out. Would you like to know them?" He asked her quietly with entranced eyes. If you say no, I'll take you right now. Right here. Sakura released her lip and sighed silently, shaking her head. "I would actually love to know what we are making." Itachi nodded carefully. Another time then. He was okay with that. He cleared his throat and took half a step back from her to put some space. He needed to focus and her proximity always made his mind fuzzy.
"I was thinking we could do taiyaki, hanami dango, and chocolate fondue. How does that sound to you?" Itachi looked to her eyes to see them shining bright at him. "I think that sounds amazing. And fairly simple, Thank you. Ino once told me I could burn water." She laughed nervously. Itachi vibrated with a chuckle. He would enjoy teaching her baking and cooking.
He grabbed her hand and pulled her gently to the back with him. "Let's start with the dango so it can cool." He walked over to the counter that held the needed ingredients and 3 bowls. He began to weigh out the needed rice flour, silken tofu, and sugar. Sakura raised one eyebrow. "Itachi," she started. He hummed in response and continued to measure. "What about the apron?" A smile crossed his face. "Would you like to see me in a pink frilly apron Sakura?" Her face was beet red at his words and thinking of her dream again. She rubbed her legs together to sate herself. "N-no, just curious." He finished measuring at her last word and pulled her close to him.
"Then let's get started." He stood behind her and nuzzled her ear. "You can add the ingredients to the big bowl." Sakura shivered with his body heat on her back and poured everything into the bowl. "Now we are going to knead this until it forms the right consistency for the dough." He reached into the bowl they kneaded together. No better time than the present. She thought to herself. "So Itachi, what um.. What made you want to ask me out?" She asked nervously. His hands found hers and intertwined their fingers as they continued to knead together. "The timing just seemed right. It was something I thought about for awhile but after running into you at the bakery I just knew. I couldn't wait anymore." he let go of her hands and moved to her side. "We need to split them now. Can you grab the strawberry and matcha powder from the other counter?"
She quickly returned and he continued as he put the powder in the appropriate bowls with the dough. "I've been thinking of asking you for a while," He passed her the pink bowl and started to knead the green bowl. "But once I felt the time could've been right, you were promoted officially. I thought about asking you during the times I was at the hospital with my team for checks but you were always so busy and I didn't want to distract you." Sakura hummed in understanding. She couldn't lie, she was so busy this last year she probably would've said no. Even to him. The dough was fully mixed.
She followed his lead and began making the balls from the pink. Once each of them made 6, they washed their hands and both made 3 balls from the white dough. "What about you? What made you say yes?" He asked, looking at her through his eyelashes while getting the boiled water ready. Sakura happily laughed. "Truly Itachi, do you think anyone would say no to you?" she giggled, keeping the conversation light. He turned to her after dropping the white balls into the boiling water. "I thought you would've said no if the timing was wrong." He crossed his arms and leaned his hip on the stove. She looked thoughtful. "I suppose you are right. It's hard to think of myself when I am so busy." She said avoiding his eye contact. She knew one of her quirks was getting so immersed with her work. She lived for it.
He gently grabbed her chin to have her look at him. "I wouldn't have taken you away from your work. People need you, more than I do." She looked at him softly. She felt understood and her heart felt warm. "So I waited. I waited and watched. But I grew impatient. My selfishness overtook me. I-," He turned back to the hot water as the white dango floated to the top. He scooped them into the ice water as Sakura poured the pink into the boiling water. "You what?" she pushed, grabbing the hand of his on the stove top. He smiled at their hands and looked into her eyes. "I need you now. I don't want to wait and lose any more time with you." She smiled back at him. "We are still quite young, both in our twenties." she pointed out.
He pulled her into a hug and breathed in her scent. "I'll let you know why I can't lose more time before the end of the night. I promise." She huffed but hugged him back tighter. She wanted to know now but as it goes: good things come to those who wait. BUT only what's left from those who hustle. "I will hold you to your promise, Itachi. I am not a patient woman." She smiled up at him. He kissed her forehead and let go of her to scoop the pink dango out, Sakura in turn moves the last green batch into the hot water.
"What about the sauce?" She asked, looking around. Itachi lifted a small saucepan. "Shisui started it before we got here. It's been simmering to thicken." Sakura loved the thought and effort he put into this date. "What's next?" Itachi set her off to make the batter of the taiyaki while he made the red bean paste and watched the cooking dango. He showed her how to use the taiyaki waffle maker and fed her the completed dango while she tried to put the mix and filling in to cook. The air was filled with fresh sweet smells and laughter at her trying to eat the sauce covered dango from Itachi's fingers. Itachi felt lustfully lost with the feel of her tongue on his skin. After both desserts were completed and snacked on, Itachi grabbed her hand and started to dance with her around the kitchen.
Sakura felt like she was having the time of her life. Not only was she filled with delicious food and the promise of chocolate later, she was in the arms of possibly the love of her life. He certainly made her feel like he was the love of her life. Eventually they made it to having their arms wrapped around each other and swaying to the light rhythm of the song. Her face was laid on his chest and moved when he sighed happily. She moved her head to look up at him, her chin on his chest now. "Are you okay?" she asked softly. He looked down to her and held her eyes with his. "Sakura, I have never felt more happy and at peace. Like this is exactly where I was always meant to be. In this moment, with you."
Sakura locked her fingers behind his neck and pulled him down as she bounced to her tiptoes. Their lips crashed together and eyes closed. Her heart was thudding loudly in her ears as she broke their long kiss. They were both breathing heavily, eyes locked, the air thick with tension. "Sakura," He lowly growled and grabbed her upper thighs, lifting her to his hips. Sakura wrapped her legs around him and met his mouth with hers again. She moaned into their kiss as he began to grope her ass. He moaned back to her and pushed her more into his growing desire. She panted as he moved from her mouth to her neck. He walked her to the counter to place her down gently, using his now free hands to trace her full hourglass form.
He lifted his lips off the bottom of her throat and looked at her. "How much were you looking forward to the fondue?" She laughed and pulled him closer with her legs. Her hands dragged from his shoulders, down his abs, to the top of his pants. "Why can't you lose more time with me, Itachi?" She breathlessly asked him. One of his hands moved from her hips to the back of her neck and rubbed small circles with his thumb. After a moment he placed his forehead on hers and closed his eyes. He whispered to her, "I can't waste more time away because even the rest of our lives together doesn't feel like it would be enough time for me."
Sakura felt her heart melt for the man in her arms. She closed her eyes and breathed in deeply. She never felt so loved before and so quickly. When she opened her eyes they clashed with his hopeful ones. She could see another emotion in them as well. "You don't need to worry. I would be more than interested in pursuing a future with you. And although the chocolate fondue was something I was definitely looking forward to," she grabbed either side of his face and gave him a fierce look. "I, even more so, would enjoy you." His lips crashed with hers again. Each devouring the other as if more nights were not just promised.
Their hands searched each other's bodies and Sakura moaned loudly as Itachi rubbed across her breast. Itachi released a groan as she ground her hips into his member. She ripped her lips from his. "You should know," he was kissing down her neck now, across her chest, making it harder for her to keep her stance. "I don't have sex on the first date." She barely got out. Itachi's tongue dipped into the top of her cups and rolled over her nipple. She cursed in pleasure and Itachi looked up to her. "That's okay. As a gentleman I wouldn't ask you to. However, if you are willing, I would like to get you off at least once tonight." What did I do so right in this life to deserve this? Sakura cried mentally.
"I supposed it would only be fair for me to offer the same-" Itachi ravaged her lips again then pulled away once she was breathless. "I would never ask that of you. Your pleasure is my pleasure. I want you. I want you selfishly, wet and satisfied because of me." Sakura moaned at his words and as his hands cupped her breast and rubbed her nipples through the fabric. Grinding his hips into hers, he watched her squirm under him. I thank everything good in this world for this magnificent woman. He thought to himself and began biting and licking her neck. She moaned his name over and over.
The front bell went off just as Itachi was beginning to pull down her top for better access to her hardened nipples. He quickly pulled it back up and hugged her close to his person before whipping around to grab a knife from the opposite counter. "Ita-" he kissed her but kept his eyes on the entrance to the kitchen. He heard a light womanly hum and knew immediately who it was. Shisui said she was likely to be planning his wedding tonight.
He saw the door begin to open and teleported them away. He knew he turned off everything after Sakura made the taiyaki so his mother wouldn't be too upset. Although she probably wouldn't be happy with the mess he left. On the flip side, she might forgive him given his new status with the confused woman in his arms. He saw her looking around and he realized. He transported them to his apartment, specifically his bedroom. A light blush dusted his cheeks. "Sakura this is not- the door- my mother-" He struggled to put words together through his embarrassment. Sakura lightly bit her bottom lip as she looked up to him through her eyelashes, a pretty pink blush on her face as well. "I… don't mind. I've always wondered what the Uchiha Itachi's apartment looked like."
He set her down on the ground and Sakura made sure to kiss him and press against him the whole way down. When their lips separated her eyes flicked to his. "I'm not done with you but some tea would be nice." He smiled into her lips. "Again where are my manners? I will gladly make us some tea." He grabbed her hand and led her to his kitchen. Sakura wasn't surprised to find his whole apartment was spotless. She did find it interesting he had a velvet couch and plush rug. Come to think of it, his sheets on the bed looked like satin. I wonder if he's the sensory type. She blushed at her thoughts and quietly cleared her throat.
Itachi led her to the kitchen and picked her up to place her on the counter while he put water in the kettle. "Is there a specific tea you like?" She hummed, her blush darkening. "It really depends on what I need it for." She said quietly. Itachi chuckled. "I personally would advise against something without caffeine." his innuendo did not go unnoticed by her, she rubbed her legs together again. This time itachi noticed and bit down on his lip. I mean a kitchen can be for eating. He reasoned mentally with his own naughty thoughts. "Do you have a nice black tea?" she asked. Itachi blinked himself back to current instead of him mentally eating out the pinkette on his counter. "Yes." He said for more breathlessly than he meant.
He grabbed the 3 boxes of black tea he had and offered them to her to pick. When he turned around her eyes immediately went down his body and straight back to his eyes with a darker blush. He looked down himself and blushed. She smiled through her own, "Are you blushing?" She quipped. He cleared his throat. "I don't find it surprising you have this effect on me, however it can be a bit embarrassing." She laughed gleefully. "I'm pretty sure I'm soaked through my underwear." She confessed. Itachi released a strained groan. He couldn't wait to feel that for himself. He even felt himself twitch at her words.
"Which tea would you like?" Sakura looked over the sortment but looked back up at him seductively. "I can't see, can you come closer?" Itachi swallowed at her look but stepped between her legs nonetheless. His groin pressed against hers. He couldn't feel her wetness through the clothes but knowing it was there kept him burning inside. She made a show of looking at the tea while wrapping her legs and rolling her hips. "I think I will take the Darjeeling tea please." She decided and let her legs slip from around him. "Exquisite choice. Have you had it before?" His interest was piqued.
She smiled warmly. "Two years ago I went on a mission to the land of grass to help a refugee village. One of the refugee's offered a small box of the tea as payment. After that I went on a 2 week vacation through the Land of Tea and tried all the different varieties there but even when I got that particular mix it still never tasted the same. I love it regardless. It reminds me of gratitude and of hope for better beginnings. I always think of that family and hope they are doing well today." She sighed with contentment. "I became a bit obsessed with drinks like tea and wine after that and learned everything I could. I sucked at cooking but drinks… I could make a great drink." She finished with a big smile. It wouldn't have mattered what the answer was but hearing it made him fall deeper in love. She was a kind, curious soul. Just like him.
During her story he had crushed up the tea and put it into the cups. The kettle was about to whistle and poured the hot water over the newly crushed tea. He watched the tea swirl as he listened to her sweet voice. He could listen to her all day, especially if she gave him stories or talked of things she was passionate about. He handed her a cup when she finished and she leaned forward to kiss his cheek. He put his cup down beside her and put one of his arms on each side of her. They stared at each other for a few minutes, each committing the other's features to memory. She sipped her tea and placed her cup outside of his arms, her eyes following her own movements. "Itachi," she started and looked back at him. "Kiss me."
That was all the permission he needed. Instead of it being a crushing kiss as their previous ones, he used one hand to tuck her strand of hair behind her ear and let his hand caress her down her face to her chin. He lightly lifted her chin and brought his lips slowly to hers. Kissing her softly with every ounce of passion and desire he held for her. He kissed her again. And again. And again. She then wrapped her arms and legs around him, his hands finding their way to her ass again as he picked her up and held her close.
Blindly but knowingly, he walked them back to his bedroom. Their kisses never broke sequence. He sat on his bed with her in his arms and licked her bottom lip. She readily let him in and each explored the other. Breaking apart for a breath only to pick back up where they left. Sakura ground into his lap making him grab tightly to her thighs and release his own moan. "Sakura." He said breathlessly. Moving from her lips to her chin, down her neck. He knew no one would interrupt them now. After all, he had many traps at the ready for any type of intruder.
"Itachi." She breathed when he bit down on her pulse. Her hands slipped under his shirt, fingers splayed on his abs. She inched her fingers higher until Itachi broke his kissing to take his shirt off. She bit down a moan seeing his naked torso. All mine. She thought to herself. He resumed nipping at her neck and grabbed one of her thighs while his other arm wrapped around her back. He slowly flipped their position, he was now hovering above her kissing down her body. His hands made quick work of her heels. She drank in the sight of him biting the top of her pants, looking at her with lust filled eyes. His hands pressed against her clitoris through the fabric and she let out a throaty moan. His hands glided up her thighs and grabbed onto her waist band. "Please." She begged, staring him down with heated eyes.
He slowly pulled her leggings down and took in every inch of her creamy skin. Kisses littered her thighs as her pants were taken off. Her body felt like it was on fire, her core molten lava under his touch. He threw her pants on his floor and caressed her legs from ankle to hip. Her body shivered in anticipation and pleasure. He opened her legs and kissed up her inner thighs. "Fuck Sakura." he whispered into her thighs. He could see her lacy fabric glistening at her mound. He laid his tongue flat against her and licked hard against the fabric and her folds. Sakura groaned in pleasure and clenched his sheets. "Is this okay?" He asked, his breath tickling the very flesh he licked. "Yes, please, yes." Sakura said quickly.
He unbuttoned her body suit and moved the fabric from his own personal prize. Sakura never thought someone could be so skilled and make her body shake with pleasure. Every touch of his tongue was a relief to her need but as soon as it was gone she needed it back even more. One of his hands traveled up her body and pulled a breast out of her top. His thumb rubbed her nipple in rhythm with his tongue pressing into her clit. She couldn't even think clearly, her mouth open trying to keep air in her lungs. Mewls and moans spilled out of her. Just when she thought she was on the cusp of a climax, he entered one of his fingers in her. She moaned his name loudly and only lasted a handful of pumps before she saw stars behind her eyelids.
Itachi felt her release coming and was ready to lap up her juices when they came. He was so hard he had to rub himself against the bed for some relief while eating her out. He groaned in pleasure at her coming in his mouth. He made sure to lick up everything he could before traveling up her body with kisses. He pressed his whole body against her as he made his way back to her neck. "Are you okay?" his voice husky into her skin. She moaned and nodded. She pushed him down gently into the mattress and started kissing his neck in a similar fashion to him but she liked sucking more which drove him crazy.
"Sakura, we don't have to do anything if you need rest." His throat bobbed as she licked down his clavicle. "What I need," she mumbled against him. "Is you." She bit down between his neck and shoulder, bringing a throaty moan from him. "Sakura" he moaned again, pulling her closer. She sat back on her knees and grabbed the bottom of her top, pulling it over her head. Itachi sat up on his elbows and felt his breath leave his lungs at the sight she made. He swiped a hand over his mouth and then dragged it down to rub his neck. "Do I look okay?" she asked shyly, her face still flushed from her climax. "Sakura," he started and reached out to place his hand on her collarbone. "You look…" his hand slid from her neck, between her breast, to her hip. "You look more beautiful than I ever dreamed you would be."
She smiled and bit her lip as she brought one of her legs over his hips. His pants were pulled down to his thighs and all that separated them was his thin boxers. He stayed on his elbow and pulled her closer to him with his other arm. He nuzzled her chest, taking in her natural scent before kissing around her breasts. He took one of her nipples into his mouth and felt high on the noise she made. He continued to lick and suck her while she untied his hair and ran her fingers through it. He also felt her dipping her hips against his, his member sliding repeatedly between her folds. His head occasionally pressed into her clit making her hum in pleasure. He held her close, wishing he could stay in this moment forever. So many times he dreamed of this situation but finally having it was so much sweeter than he ever imagined.
She ground into his hips and grabbed his face to kiss him deeply. He was lost in her touch as her hips repeatedly ground into him. Her breasts pressing into his own chest. "S-Sakura." He moaned. She moaned against his lips and pushed him down. Her nails lightly scratched down his torso, he lifted his hips into her at the touch. She moved down his legs, taking his underwear and pants with her, his member sprang up without the fabric. He had already kicked his shoes and socks off. "Fuck Itachi." She breathed before licking up his thigh. He moaned as she grabbed his member and dragged her hand down his length. He felt he was going to cum just at her touch. "I-I don't think I'm going to last long." She settled between his legs and licked up his shaft, a vibrating moan left his lips. "That's okay, I'll make it count." She whispered against his sensitive skin. He watched her take him into her mouth and felt her tongue swirl around his already wet head. Licking up the drop of precum that was there.
He threw his head back with curses leaving his lips in pleasure. She sucked hard and pressed her breasts against him, driving him crazy. It didn't take long between her swirling his head and sucking down his length little by little. He came into her mouth and she swallowed it all. Licking her lips like the cat that ate the canary while she crawled up his body. Itachi thought he would come again at the sight. She kissed him below his chin. He wrapped his arms around her and moved them both to the top of his bed, pulling a plush blanket over them. As she nestled into him, she peppered kisses across his chest. He lifted her thigh across his stomach and pushed a finger past her folds. She moaned into his skin, her body dipping into his fingers for more. He made her come again with his fingers while his lips captured hers again and again. He made sure to suck all her juices off his fingers.
With both of them spent and satisfied, they curled into each other. His unused hand caressed her face with his thumb while his other trailed absentmindedly up and down her spine. Her leg was still across him and her arm was wrapped around his chest in claim. A feeling that made him feel like he was home, accepted, loved. "Sakura?" He asked quietly. She hummed in response. Her breath close to evening out to a light sleep. "Tell me this isn't a dream." He whispered into her hair. It was enough to make her wake up as she pulled herself up to one elbow and looked deep into his eyes. "I can't say I love you right now but I am working my way there Uchiha Itachi. I will be here by your side as long as you let me." She brought her head down and softly kissed his lips.
~ And they lived happily ever after. Yes, it's one of those stories ~
After a few soft kisses she cuddled back into his side and quickly fell asleep. Itachi stayed up a little longer holding her tightly. His heart finally evened out for what felt like the first time that night. Everything felt right. He kissed her hair and fell into a slumber. Dreaming about what their future might be, an engagement, a wedding, a house, kids, careers. Even while he dreamed, he was excited to wake up and kiss her again. This was the beginning of the best part of his life and he will forever be thankful to his mother's bakery and sweet treats for bringing them together.
