They exchange a quick look, before retracting their hands. Both of them took just a few seconds to catch their breaths and were thankful, after a quick and casual glance around the room, that it seemed as if nobody had even noticed.

The evening continued on in relative silence until Sakura's aunt turned to them both with a kind smile. "So, you two… how is therapy going?"

'Therapy? How does she know about that? What the fu—'

.

.

.

Sakura's aunt had put them both through the ringer with question after question, (her mother glaring angry daggers at them both the entire time) and although she would have loved to go out on a late-night movie date with her fiancé, she had to respectfully decline his sweet and thoughtful offer.

After their little stunt, and the rest of the evening's chaotic events, she was just ready for bed, way too exhausted to do much else, but she promised to text Sasuke as soon as she woke up the following day. That time came as the sun rose higher in the sky, bathing her pale skin in the morning light and warming her from the outside in while she blinked the sleep away from her crusty eyes. Sakura yawned and stretched, before slowly moving into a sitting position; her long, pink locks cascading half-hazardously down her bare back and shoulder blades where her night shirt (which was actually just an old borrowed shirt of Sasuke's) had slipped down during her sleep. She made her way to the bathroom and did her business before returning to the comfort of her bed.

Since it was the weekend, Sakura had no real need to get ready too early and chose to be lazy instead. Propped up on a single pillow, with her blanket tucked neatly around her thin waist, she lifted her phone up and began to send a quick text message to her lover.

Good morning, babe.

Sakura was scrolling around on random websites when he responded just a few minutes later.

Good morning, beautiful. I hope you slept well. How are you feeling today? Any sickness?

She smiled.

No sickness yet, I'm just a little bit tired still. Did you want to do something today? It seemed like you wanted to ask me something last night before you left but didn't.

I did, but with your mom there, I changed my mind. I was going to ask if you wanted to go to the nature preserve with me today for a hike. But, since you're tired we can do something else instead.

No! I wanna go!

Sakura. I don't want you getting too exhausted. Think of yourself and our baby.

I know. But, I'll… we'll be fine. I promise. Please, can we go? A hike sounds lovely. The fresh air, nature… spending alone time with you… what could be better!

I have to give you that. Fine, we can go. But if you feel remotely sick or anything, you have to tell me. Deal?

Yes! Deal! So, when can we leave?

A little eager, aren't we, my love?

Sasuke, don't tease me!

Alright, beautiful. I'm sorry. How soon can you be ready?

Give me like twenty minutes.

Make it thirty. I'm going to run to the store and pick up some things first before I come get you.

Are you sure that you don't need longer? I don't want you rushing on my account.

Nope. Thirty is fine. I will pick you up soon. I love you.

Love you too, Sasuke! See you soon!

Thirty minutes later on the dot Sasuke showed up and she wasted no time in leaving, not even waiting on him to step out of the car and open her door for her. He chuckled and leaned over the center console to give her a quick kiss on the lips. Once she was buckled, he took off.

She placed her sunglasses on top of her head and leaned back against his passenger seat with her legs propped up on the dash. "I'm glad you suggested this," she said over the music and she tilted her head slightly in his direction. "I needed a break. My mom is getting a little… unbearable."

He nodded slowly as he switched lanes and slowed a little to allow an elderly man to pass him; they were in no rush after all. "So did I."

"Let me guess, your dad?"

"Yup."

She tucked a stray hair behind her ear and cleared her throat once. "Want to talk about it, babe." His jaw tensed and his hand flexed against the wheel, but he didn't look at her.

"No."

She frowned and crossed her arms over her chest. "You never do." He glanced at her for a second before reaching for her arm, placing his open palm on her wrist and then dragging it up to her shoulder and giving it a light squeeze.

"When I'm ready, you'll be the first person I run to. Okay?"

She sighed and reached up to place her hand on top of his as a soft smile spread across her glossy lips. "Okay. Deal. So, which trail do you want to take this time, babe?"

"I was thinking of the southern one, it goes past the river. It's too cold to swim, but we can stop at the open meadow for a break. That's about halfway towards the end. Should take us about an hour and half if we go at a brisk pace. Do you think you can handle it, Sa-ku-ra…," he teased, while raising a playful brow at her and Sakura slapped his thigh, feigning irritation.

She rolled her eyes and pulled her sunglasses back on before looking out the window. "Shut up, Sasuke! I can run circles around you! I've got so much energy—"

"I'd rather you use that energy in other ways. (slap) Okay, I get it! But in all seriousness if you need a break or need us to slow down let me know. I don't want you doing anything too strenuous. Not while you're carrying my child." Sasuke placed his large hand upon her still flat belly and a warm feeling began to surround her, her eyes filling with tears at the thought of how much they both loved this little being already.

She put her hand on top of his and smiled. "I get it. I won't do too much and I will take breaks as needed. I promise."

"Good."

.

"Just a little further, it's right up ahead," she called behind her and heard a soft grunt in response. Her eyes shifted to their surroundings and a cool breeze began to gently blow against her heated flesh… cooling down her slightly sticky and sweaty skin. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a second, but this caused her to stumble and luck would have it that Sasuke was right behind her.

His hands cupped her hips as he held her steady and she turned to see a slight frown on his lips. "Sorry," she hissed and he just rolled his eyes, before smacking her playfully on the ass to get her moving again. Sakura giggled before complying and before long, they had finally found their first destination. It hadn't changed much since the last visit only a few months ago, but she still found it just as beautiful as it was the first time that she saw it.

A mixture of greens and browns surrounded the meadow, as towering trees shielded most of their view… though she could catch a glimpse of the river if she was to stand in the right spot. But what always caught her attention was the tiny little field of wildflowers that stood at the far right-hand corner; a mixture of blues, yellows, purples, and reds that combined with the natural brown and green of the woods.

She went there straight away, running her fingertips along the soft, delicate petals and a warm smile graced her lips as she took in their flowery scent. "It's so beautiful here…," she said in a whisper and was startled when she felt a pair of arms wrap around her middle. Sasuke pressed his jaw to the top of her head, just behind the start of her ponytail, and wrapped his arms loosely around the curve of her hips while his hands cupped her belly.

"I can think of a few things more beautiful than the flowers, my love. But for now, I have a surprise for you."

"Really," the pinkette said in slight confusion while biting at her bottom lip. "You know that I don't really like surprises, babe."

She could feel him smirking as he placed his lips against the side of her neck. "I think you'll like this one." He moved his hands to cup her eyes and twisted them around so that she was facing the way that they had originally come from. He walked her slowly as she held onto his wrists and when he finally stopped, she began to grow anxious, waiting for him to reveal this little surprise of his.

When Sasuke did and she saw what he had planned, she felt the tears well up in her eyes. She turned to him and he simply shrugged, while a light shade of pink began to dust his cheeks. It was rare for her to see him blush and even rarer to see him so flustered. She found it rather endearing and her heart began to swell with more love and compassion than she felt she could possibly hand for this man.

"Sasuke…"

"It's not much, but… omf!"

She flung herself at him then, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck as she cried into his shoulder. "It's perfect. A picnic for two? Who would I be to ask for more? I love it, Sasuke. Truly." His arms slowly came to encircle her and he placed his cheek on top of her head.

"I'm really glad," he whispered, before giving her a gentle squeeze. "Now, enough with the crying, beautiful. Let's go eat."

.

.

After their lunch, Sakura was completely stuffed and they stayed in that little, private sanctuary for a little bit longer, before Sasuke declared that it was (unfortunately) time to continue their hike and then go back home.

Bad news was, they somehow (and it was probably thanks to Sakura's pregnancy brain, she finally concluded) ended up lost. Now, it was nearly two hours later and Sasuke was running his hands repeatedly through his hair, completely frustrated with their current predicament. "I… I could have sworn it was this way…," he whispered to himself before a string of curse words left his lips. His face scrunched up with his growing irritation and he crossed his arms over his chest with an angry huff.

Sakura stood from her stump and walked to his side. "Hey, I think it's—"

"Don't. Even. Go. There."

"What…," she asked innocently and placed a hand on his bicep. He wasn't exactly happy with her right now, but he also didn't attempt to push her away either. His eyes took her in before his frown deepened and he looked away.

"It's your fault we're lost," he growled in annoyance.

"My fault? How!?" Now she was getting irritated with him. 'He could have told me not to go a certain way if he knew how to get us out of here, instead of just following me and then blaming me for getting us lost in the fucking woods.'

"I was just following you. I thought that you knew where we were going, Sakura. I shouldn't have been so… I guess I should have…"

Sakura scoffed and crossed her arms over her own chest, inadvertently pushing them upwards. "You could have told me I was going the wrong way; you know." He averted his eyes then, almost looking ashamed about something while his hands balled into fist. She grew concerned. "Sasuke?"

"I was," he sighed before straightening his posture, though his eyes still remained firmly away from her. "I was just a little… distracted I guess." Sakura's pink eyebrows drew together and she took a minuscule step closer to him; into his personal space. He didn't even seem to notice at first, which surprised her.

"By what exactly?" But when he didn't answer, she got her answer. Sakura couldn't help but to tease him, and so she jutted her hip out just a little more while a sly smile made its way to her plump lips. "I get it. You got distracted by… me then, huh. What about me was so damn distracting for you that you allowed me to get us lost, babe?" His lips twisted before he turned back to her and gave her a smirk.

"By your big ass," he teased, before pulling her to him and planting a soft kiss to her lips. She gave him a gentle slap on the arm before returning the kiss, pressing her front half against his a little more firmly, which ended up eliciting a soft, feminine moan from her own lips when she suddenly felt his erection prodding along her lower belly.

Her hormones kicked in and she couldn't stop herself from grinding her hips against his as she lifted up onto her tippy toes, her cunt already dripping from the knowledge that he was so turned on, just by looking at her. Sakura's sure that it couldn't have helped him either when she had decided to wear her tight leggings this time (one of her favorite pairs) for this little excursion either. 'Oops, I guess I should have worn my sweats instead. Oh well, I guess no harm done. I will gladly take my "punishment" from him. Wait, where in the hell did that even come from? These hormones make me talk some crazy nonsense. Get a grip, Sakura Haruno! But then again—'

"Sasuke…," she panted, her body heating even more after hearing the sound of his rough grunt. "I want you."

"Wait, Sakura," he hesitated, though his grip on her only tightened. "We can when we get back to the…"

"No," she hissed through her teeth while reaching down to grab his hardened cock with her hand. She pulled away to meet his dark, onyx-colored eyes and nipped at his bottom lip, hard while stroking him once in her fist… slowly. "Now." Sasuke's eyes flashed darkly and then he was on her.

He didn't hesitate and suddenly she found herself pressed against the trunk of a nearby tree, with his hand tugging at the corner of her pants eagerly as his tongue pressed into her open mouth hungrily.

Sakura moaned and used one of her hands to help aid him in freeing herself from the restricting fabric of her leggings, while the other moved to his wide shoulder to help balance herself as she slipped one leg out, and then the other one. Once the woman was completely freed, he bent downward and then lifted her up into his arms, securing her under her bottom and then pressing her back more firmly against the tree trunk. Sakura ignores the bite from the rough bark as it digs into her backside and watches in eager anticipation as her lover reaches between them to tug his own arousal free from his jeans. His own keenness made it a nearly impossible task at first… but somehow… he managed and before long, his bulbous tip was pressing against her folds, her arousal dripping down his length and wetting his cock, getting it ready for their imminent joining.

When he was ready, he moved his rough digits to her clit and hissed against her mouth. "You're so wet already, my love. I can feel it dripping down me. So ready for my cock to take you, aren't you?"

"Y-yes, please."

He didn't hesitate after hearing this.

He plunged, sending her head reeling. She was moaning as he spewed obscenities into the air, her hips rocking as she all but lifted herself off of his cock… before slamming herself back down again. He allowed her to set the pace at first, while his lips moved to suckle, to taste her throat, and then each of her breasts in kind, while his hands held onto her ass firmly, in order to keep her body steady… and help to support most of her weight.

"S-Sakura, fuck."

"Oh, god… ahh!"

He shifted them slightly, so that he could hold her up with his thighs instead and moved his hands to her hair, holding her tightly against his mouth as he began to pump swiftly into her warm heat. Sakura was screaming into his mouth, while her own hands tugged harshly at his damp bangs.

Drops of sweat began to bead up on their temples, before slowly dripping a steady trail down and then between them towards their joined bodies. "I fucking love you," he hissed when he pulled away enough to gaze at her pleasure-filled expression. His black eyes seemed to glaze over and his already fast pace increased even more. "Do you know that I love you, Sakura? Fuck. How much… I care about you?"

She was delirious with desire, but managed to somehow open her eyes, just enough to see him; her mouth opening slightly to respond to his questions. "Y-ye…sss!"

"Louder, Sakura. Who do you belong to? Who?"

"Ahh, y-you, Sasuke! Shit! I b-belong t-to you!"

"Good girl…," he growled before releasing his hold on her. He dropped her gently to the ground and spun her around, her hands coming up to rest against the tree's trunk before he entered her from behind. Her fingertips bit into the thick bark, embedding pieces of it beneath her nails and Sakura rested her cheek on the top of one of them as her mouth hung open on soft pants. She rocked in time with him and sooner than anticipated he found his release within her, his seed spilling out from either side of her then dripping down the insides of her legs; her name slipping from his tongue like a prayer, while her body continued to ache and throb with the need for her own release, even after her lover had stopped moving.

She groaned in disappointment when he slipped his cock from between her folds. "Sasuke, I," she began to whimper but stopped when he shushed her gently.

He turned her once again, his hand encircling her wrist as he pinned them to the tree. His forehead pressed against hers, while his other hand moved to her core. The second his fingertips brushed against her clit she was arching her back and pushing her hips towards him, eagerly seeking out her release, just as he had done with his own.

Sakura's eyes met his and she was lost in their dark pools almost instantly. Then… when he pressed his index finger into her tight sheath—

"S-SAS— ahhh!"

It came in a vision of fireworks, literal stars showing behind her now closed eyelids and she screamed his name once (loudly) into the afternoon air as her hips stilled and liquid heat once again dripped down her thighs. When she came down from her high, she opened them lazily to gaze at him and she couldn't help but smile when she saw the look on his face. "I should distract you more often," she teased him and he only rolled his eyes at her before leaning in to give her an affectionate kiss. After helping her get clean up and get dressed, he put his backpack on and reached for her hand to interlock their fingers as they set out again.

"Come on, let's get you home."
