A/N: Hey y'all! Hope you guys are liking the story so far. Happy to see anyone who still managed to get this far in the story! I just wanted to clear up that this is a Rated M fanfiction, meaning that this includes some language, sensitive scenes, and smut. I know I have been holding that back, but that is merely to create more plot in the story and drama.

Again, I do not own Naruto or any brand names I mention in this story.

CHAPTER 24 - Back and Better

Stretching her arms out, Temari sat up from her blankets and looked around her dark room with a small amount of daylight peaking through her curtains, as usual. She looked over to her alarm clock to notice that it was only 4 in the morning. She groaned, then remembered what happened last night, in which she looked down to Shikamaru who was peacefully sleeping next to her.

'I probably shouldn't wake him up.' She thought to herself, and laid back down. She couldn't help but look at him, thinking that he was the most attractive sleeper she had ever seen. His ponytail was completely intact, wrinkles barely forming from his face pressed into the pillow, quiet breathing, mouth closed, and his eyelids didn't look forced shut. Temari smiled and couldn't help but continue to stare, however, she needed to use the bathroom, in which she carefully got out of the blankets and made sure to raise them up so Shikamaru was still comfortably submerged in them.

A few minutes after she had closed the door to go to the bathroom, he opened his eyes and scanned around the room to see she was no longer there. He continued to scan until she had returned, closing the door behind her and making her way around the bed to sit on her side, pulling the covers on her again.

"Good morning." She greeted him, smiling. He continued to lay down, having no intention to get him from the snuggly bed at 4 in the morning on a Sunday.

"Hey," he yawned. "What's on the agenda today?"

Temari then thought to herself, sitting up and looked down to the lazy guy who was still laid down. "Not so sure, what do you want to do today?"

"Well considering it's a Sunday morning I have no intention of doing anything today," he yawned again, pressing his head into the pillow. "Let's sleep."

Temari giggled to herself. She stared at him, and caught herself lost in the ogle. He opened an eye, noticing she was staring at him with a slight smile. "Can I help you, ma'am?" He teased.

She reached over a hand into his scalp, massaging it gently. "Nothing, you're just cute." She commented, causing him to turn pink. Temari noticed his shade, in which she teased and planted a quick peck on his lips, making him even more red.

"Y-You're a good kisser," Shikamaru complimented her. "Especially for a first timer."

Temari smiled brightly. "Thanks, you're not so bad yourself."

Temari then again, would lean over and kiss her boyfriend on the lips, fully intending to push a bit deeper. She massaged her lips along with his, in which Shikamaru certainly obliged. After continuing the same motion repeatedly, he tested her by opening his mouth a little and pointing his tongue towards her own lips. She then understood the message, opening her mouth slightly, granting access for his tongue. They both then engaged in a passionate, lip-loving session.

"Mmm," Temari moaned lowly into the kiss. Shikamaru placed his hands on her waist, she would then place a leg on either side of his body, positioning herself on top of him with her hands balancing on each side of his head. The genius then felt himself gradually tighter in the pants, and to make matters worse, she broke off the kiss for a breath and sat directly on top of his bulge.

When Temari sat on top of him, catching her breath, she noticed he was completely red on the face. Worried, she extended an arm out and placed a hand on his forehead. "Are you okay?"

Shikamaru nodded rapidly. "Y-Yeah.. I-It's just that.."

Temari blinked, completely puzzled. She then saw him looking down, and then she finally realized what was going on. "H-Hey.. You don't have to be embarrassed."

"Y-Yeah," He nervous stuttered. "I'll just go to the bathrooms and-"

"No! I-I'll do it for you!" Temari blurted out. After realizing what she had just said, she turned as red as he was, and the comment just made him grow even harder.

Shikamaru gazed at her, his mouth agape. "Are you sure?"

Temari nodded, still a bit hesitant. "Yeah, I mean..." She then inserted her fingertips gently into the waistband on his pajama pants, pulling them down slowly. "Might as well."

Shikamaru gulped, nevertheless raising his lower half a little to get the fabric off of him. By the final tug, he was now completely revealed in front of her, all hard and tight. On the other hand, she looked and stared back at his facial expression. She gave him a warm smile. "Just let me know if I'm doing something wrong."

Shikamaru nodded. And so it began. Temari dared to grip a gentle hand on his erection, fondling the tip with her fingers while every so often glancing at his facial expressions to reassure herself. She started with a downstroke, and made her way back up. She made sure to get the whole length feel the sensation of her hand, aiming down all the way to his coarse, pubes and up to his tip. As she repeated this motion, she took the time to stare at him, in which he was completely flushed and had his arms covering majority of his face while still peeking at Temari's hand job that was carried out upon him.

"Do you like that?" Temari asked him, not meaning to be seductive, but unintentionally made Shikamaru turned on anyway, he nodded, trying to hold back groans.

"J-Just a little faster," Shikamaru requested of her, in which she obliged and began to stroke faster with strong downstrokes. He then requested another favor out of his euphoria. "Can you lift your shirt up?"

Temari then looked at him, her strokes suddenly becoming less intensified. "H-Huh? You want to see me?"

Shikamaru breathed. "Yes, please, I want to see you." He desperately asked, but still was able to have some type of sense and consideration. "But if you really don't want to then..."

The genius felt himself out of breath again as Temari lifted up her grey shirt, allowing her naked, perky breasts to fall out just like that. She then sat there on top of him, with her shirt raised up, her expansive thighs thundering out of her booty shorts, and began to pick up the pace on his throbbing member. With one hand, she held one of his, and when she felt him swelling even more, she brought up one of his hands to press up against one of her boobs.

"Shit," he swore. "T-Temari, I'm going to-" he cut himself off, fondling with her left breast as he climaxed into her hand, some being able to reach her thighs. Shikamaru thrusted into her hand, wanting to get every bit of the sensation she had just endured on him. Shikamaru then began to catch his breath, looking down at the mess and smiling to his girlfriend.

He let go of her breast and caressed her thighs. "You're amazing, I-"

Temari rolled her eyes, smiling at him. She moved off of him, lowering her shirt down. "Yeah, yeah, just get cleaned up. You probably want to go back to sleep anyway."

"But what about you?" Shikamaru asked with concern. She responded by the same usual smile.

"Don't worry about me." She tapped him on the nose. "You can make it up to me later, but right now I kind of just want to sleep in."

Shikamaru lifted his pants back up, pulling the covers on top of both of them. "Sounds like a plan."

Ten Ten waited outside Temari's apartment door, nervously knocking. She had felt really guilty after the whole letter situation, and although she knew Sakura fixed the deed, she wouldn't have felt complete without apologizing to Temari face to face. After a few moments, Temari opened the door, seeing Ten Ten standing in the hallway with a sad look on her face.

"Hey, girl," Temari greeted her. "What's up?"

The brunette tapped her foot nervously. "I just wanted to say I'm sorry for how the letter situation went down, and that I wasn't being the greatest friend by telling you all that had happened." Shikamaru then walked to the two girls, standing closely next to Temari.

"It's all good, Ten Ten. We're good now." Shikamaru told her, and smiled brightly. "If anything, we're more than good now. We're a couple."

Ten Ten stood there, mouth agape. Temari then smiled, squeezing her cheeks with one hand. "I guess in a way, I'd like to thank you, miss girl. We should catch up on a girls day again, kind of missed those."

"R-Right! Hey! I'm happy things went well! How's next Friday after volleyball?" She grinned.

"It's a date." Temari joked, winking.

Ten Ten waved goodbye. "Alright! See you then!"

Temari closed the door, looking at her boyfriend before hearing his stomach growl. She looked down at his skinny body. "Hungry?"

"Please."
