Chapter 38

Yuriko had placed the flowers on her nightstand, just as Kakashi had suggested, but looking around at the rest of her room, something gnawed at her conscience. It was so… empty. It was a major contrast to the sheer joy and sense of fulfillment and belonging that she'd been swaddled in for the last few hours. When she remembered the feeling of Kakashi's lips on hers and the restraint he forced upon himself not to hurt her or push her into anything she didn't want, it made her want him even more. No man had ever actively thought of her feelings, wants, desires, and needs before he thought of his own and stopped himself from going any further. With a final look around, she'd made up her mind.

Kakashi let out a heavy sigh as he trudged back over to the door. All he wanted was to change into comfortable clothes and curl up on the couch with his book and a cup of tea. When he opened the door to see Yuriko still dressed in the outfit she wore out with him, he was shocked and slightly confused.

"May I come in?" she asked when he didn't say anything, too shocked to speak.

"O-Of course. I was just about to put the kettle on and change," he explained as he pointed toward his bedroom.

Yuriko stepped inside and closed the door behind her, a scarlet blush across her cheeks. When her eyes met his, she bit her lip and slowly reached toward his face. Still confused, a blush spread across his cheeks, but he didn't pull away. She carefully peeled away the layer of fabric to expose his strong jaw and that adorable mole on his chin, her lips slightly parted and breathing shaky and uneven as her eyes were focused on his lips. She collected the mask around his neck before her hands slowly, gently, hesitantly traveled back up to caress his neck and face. The stubble growing in from his close shave just earlier that day and dotting his chin was rough and scratchy against her palms but the hairs at the nape of his neck were as smooth as silk as she tangled her fingers in them. Kakashi instinctively placed his hands on Yuriko's hips pulling her slightly closer and closed his eyes, letting her explore his features. Her touch left trails of fire where they'd grazed against his skin and when he opened his eyes again they widened briefly as Yuriko stood on her toes and pulled him closer until her lips met his.

With a slight moan, Kakashi returned the kiss wrapping his arms around her, one hand gripping around her waist and the other cradling the back of her head pulling her as close as possible and deepening the kiss. Instantly, desire welled up inside of him until he was almost drowning in it. When he pulled away slightly to catch his breath, his eyes were smoldering and his breathing came in pants. Yuriko's expression mirrored his and she licked and bit her lip as her eyes traveled from his lips to his broad shoulders and the taut muscles in his arms and pecks. Kakashi couldn't help the excited shudder that rolled through him as her gaze swept over him, hungry and admiring. His breath caught in his throat as her hands lazily caressed down his neck, over his shoulders and chest, and along his firm biceps, relishing in the tightness of the strong, lean muscle under smooth, rugged and beautifully scarred skin hidden beneath the layer of fabric. With each passing sweep, she was taking it all in, memorizing the curvature and smooth lines of his immaculate form. Her sultry violet eyes met his lusty gaze and her lips moved wordlessly, her voice gone and unable to form the words that were racing through her mind.

"That was… one hell of a kiss," he chuckled, trying to keep himself calm and diffuse the situation.

"Kakashi…" she breathed, her eyes darting back to his lips as she hesitantly leaned in once again.

Hearing his name on her lips, her voice dripping with desire, Kakashi moaned and pulled her closer, his fingers clutching the fabric of her dress and jaw clenching with his self-restraint. If she would just say it… if she would tell him what she wanted... He pressed his forehead to hers, his grip tight and heart hammering, their lips a whisper away and breaths mixing in the minuscule space between.

"You're making it difficult for me to restrain myself…" he said, his voice strained and almost a plea for her to stop and go back home before he allowed them to do something stupid.

"Then don't," she breathed in return, her lips trailing along his neck until she came to his ear and gently nibbled on his lobe. Kakashi's body responded by trembling, his hands moving to her hips and tightening their grip as he pushed her back against the door hard enough to make it rattle on its hinges but not hard enough to hurt and Yuriko groaned, a lofty sigh escaping from her parted lips.

"God, Yuriko. You have no idea what you're doing to me…"

She cradled his face in her palms again and gently goaded him to look at her. Her eyes were soul penetrating and full of certainty and pure, unadulterated lust for him and Kakashi's breath caught in his throat.

"I do…" she purred.

"If we do this, we're crossing a line and we can't go back."

"I know. Kakashi, I'm ready. I trust you."

He pressed himself against her, the last strains of his resolve slowly fraying when her breath left her in a huff and heat radiated from her core. She could feel him through his slacks.

"I'll give you anything you want… anything. All you have to do is ask and it's yours," he crooned to her neck, his tongue reaching out to trail along the tender flesh and his lips placing featherlight kisses randomly between her shoulder and ear drawing a moan from deep within her chest while her fingers gripped his hair, holding him to her.

"I… I want…" she stammered, her focus slipping at the heavenly feeling of his firm physique pressed to hers and his mouth tasting and teasing along her neck.

"Yes?"

He pressed his knee against her core and nipped the tender spot where her neck met her shoulder and she let out a strangled cry of ecstasy followed by her hollering his name. The scent of her arousal washed over him and he growled low as he bit down a tiny bit harder in his excitement. She was already sensitive to his touch and dripping wet. He could feel it through the fabric of her panties and the pants leg of the knee that he had between her legs.

With deft hands and ease, he lifted her and wrapped her legs around his waist, his mouth meeting hers once again. He locked the door before he carried her to the bedroom where he set her down to pull her dress over her head to reveal a matching set of lacy black and lavender undergarments. Without hesitation, Yuriko grabbed hold of his tie and pulled him to her, crashing his mouth against hers while she loosened the tie and unbuttoned his vest and dress shirt. With the garments unbuttoned, Yuriko withdrew and pressed her palms flat against his toned abdomen and dragged them along his torso while Kakashi pulled the tie over his head. Her hands continued, undeterred across his scarred pecks, over the sleek muscles of his shoulders, and down his arms dragging the clothing with them and onto the floor.

Kakashi hummed, a ripple of electricity coursing through his veins and his muscles tensing, flexing under her lithe fingers. When her fingers began to trail back down his body toward his waistband, Kakashi gently stopped her with a tender smile and a shake of his head. Instead, he wrapped his arms around her ribcage, his lips intertwined with hers in a sweet, passionate kiss as he unclasped her bra. He caressed along her sides and trailed soft kisses and light nibbles up her jaw to her ear, and then down her neck and over her shoulders while his fingertips barely traced down her arms pulling her bra straps with them. Yuriko hummed as she tilted her head back with her eyes closed allowing him to continue.

Soon her supple breasts were free of their confines and Kakashi eased Yuriko onto the bed, his mouth traveling lower and tongue tasting her soft, tender skin, his lips placing the most reverent kisses everywhere they could reach. When he'd reached the delicate mounds of her chest, Kakashi took one into his mouth while he fondled and massaged the other and Yuriko gasped, her back arching slightly. His ministrations were deliberately slow and gentle, taking his time to worship every inch of her and savor the taste and light floral aroma of her creamy skin. It wasn't long before she was squirming beneath him, her breaths coming in pants and the strong scent of her arousal wafting up to meet his nose.

He dragged his fingertips down her side and over her toned abdomen before tracing her panty line to her hips. His thumbs massaged her pelvis where her groin started, his lips kissing her abdomen and tongue gently tracing around her navel and Yuriko moaned, her body trembling. Kakashi smiled and placed a firm kiss just above her heated core before his fingers hooked into the waistband of her panties. While he pulled the elastic fabric down, he kissed and nipped his way down her legs with them, Yuriko writhing and whining as he did, her face a deep scarlet and partially covered by one of her hands to hide the erotic expressions that she was making.

As Kakashi slinked back up, his hands massaging her legs and fingers strategically adding more pressure at pressure points and erogenous zones, Yuriko felt like her entire body was on fire and each firm squeeze on her thighs or hips, each kiss, each nibble at her inner thighs, each passing sweep of his fingertips against her skin sent an electric shock through her until she was shaking uncontrollably, her entire body buzzing with energy. He'd returned to her core and his lustful eyes met hers.

Kakashi's warm, wet mouth enveloped her heated core and her eyes widened before rolling to the back of her head as she let out a gurgling, restrained moan. His tongue lazily swept across her clit and played between her folds, savoring her sweet, musky flavor, and he held her in place with one arm firmly holding down her pelvis and the other wrapped around her upper thigh. With each stroke of his tongue, Yuriko's juices washed over his tastebuds and he hummed in delight, drawing even more of her arousal out. She wriggled beneath him, one hand tangled in his hair, the other clutching onto the sheets below her and her expression ranged from silent, open-mouthed screams with her eyes wide open and glazed over to restrained moans through clenched teeth or her lower lip between her teeth and her eyes focused entirely on his.

"Ka-Kakashi…" Yuriko panted, sitting up slightly and reaching to hold his face.

With one final, agonizingly slow lick, Kakashi allowed her to pull him away, bringing him to meet her lips where her tongue wrestled with his, tasting herself. While their mouths were busy, Kakashi's fingertips grazed from her knee up along her inner thigh before they found what they were looking for. Yuriko gasped into his mouth when his fingers slowly circled her clit and it morphed into a deep groan as one then two of them slid with ease into her, curling to stroke a spot within her that made her lower abdomen tighten and body spasm with each pass of his fingertips over it. With a hum of delight at her body's responses to his efforts and the lewd sounds of her wetness, Kakashi began unbuttoning his pants and kissed along Yuriko's jaw and down her neck before his teeth took purchase of that tender spot where her neck met her shoulder. She let out a small whine and he felt her inner walls tighten around his fingers. Yuriko's head swam with the indescribable pleasure but as amazing as it felt, something within her felt that something was missing.

As if reading her mind, Kakashi withdrew his fingers and pulled away. He licked his fingers clean and Yuriko lay there, panting and watching him, her teeth taking her lower lip between them at the realization that his pants had fallen to the floor. He reached into the bedside table and withdrew a small package and smiled as he held it between his index and middle fingers. Yuriko tilted her head, unsure of what it was and took it from him, examining it.

"It's a condom," he explained, realizing her confusion.

She tore the package open, taking the small ring of rubber out, turning it this way and that and rubbing her fingers together to test the lubrication. She was so adorably innocent that he almost felt bad for what he was about to do with that condom and her… almost.

"Here," he purred, taking the condom back and pulled his boxers down exposing his shaft, hard and twitching in arousal.

Yuriko's eyes widened and face paled, her heart rate increasing as she withdrew from him, gulping. It was… big. There was no way it could fit… right? Kakashi pinched the tip and rolled the condom onto his length down to the base.

"What does it do?" she inquired through dry lips, staring at Kakashi's endowment. "And why is it slippery?"

"It's lubricated so it makes it easier for me to slide into you, not that I think that would be an issue. You're already drenched," he purred with a seductive grin and her cheeks flushed in embarrassment. "But it prevents my seed from pouring into you and making you pregnant."

Yuriko chewed on her lip again and played with her hair, withdrawing further into herself. She was afraid, but the lustful part of herself that she'd suppressed for the last five years that was telling her that this is what she wanted was fighting with her conscience.

"We can stop now if you're not ready," he cooed, seeing her struggle. "I won't be angry and I won't love you any less for it."

"N-No!" she protested. "I… I want to keep going…"

Kakashi slowly crawled over her, hovering above her and staring into her eyes. "Are you sure?"

Yuriko gulped again in nervousness but nodded, wrapping her arms around his neck. "I trust you." She said it more to remind herself that she did rather than to reassure him.

"I'll be gentle," he breathed before his lips met hers, gentle and comforting as he positioned himself at her entrance. Her entire body tensed so he pulled away and looked deep into her terrified violet eyes. "Relax, Yuriko. It'll hurt if you tense up like that."

She bit her lip, her body still rigid and gaze averted so he lowered his lips to her ear, gently sucking on the lobe and gingerly tracing his fingers along her side. He continued to meander his mouth down her neck and shoulders and she couldn't help the moan that escaped from between her lips as her tension slowly melted away. Kakashi gradually slid into her until their hips met and her eyes widened, a deep inhale rushing into her lungs at the full feeling and pressure within her. Kakashi stayed still, his only movements being the tender kisses that he peppered over her neck, jaw, cheeks, forehead, and finally to her lips where he held her in a long, deep, passionate kiss. She had completely relaxed and held him close, her arms wrapped securely around his torso and her legs loosely around his waist, ankles crossed to keep them there. It hadn't hurt at all despite his size. Everything was already so much better than what she had learned to expect sex to be. Unlike before, it was comfortable and pleasurable and almost therapeutic how gentle and tender he was with her, almost as if he was afraid that she'd break if he was too rough. It made Yuriko's heart feel light and she smiled. She could trust him with anything, she felt, and it was liberating.

Kakashi slowly withdrew until just the tip was buried into her wet, hot core, and as his hips rocked slowly back into her, Yuriko let out a lofty moan, tilting her head back and arching her back, pressing her chest into his. His slow and deliberate pace continued, each of their heavy breathing intermittent with sultry moans of pleasure and heated kissing as they inched their way toward euphoria.

Eventually, Yuriko felt something tightening deep within her, her pleasure and arousal building higher and higher and breathing and pulse quickening with it. She held him tighter, her nails digging into his back. Kakashi lifted her so that she was sitting in his lap facing him with her legs still wrapped securely around his waist and he was sitting up, plunging himself deeper into her and groaning, his fingertips digging into her back as he clutched her to him. She was close to climaxing. He could feel it, and with her inner walls squeezing around him tighter and tighter, it drew him closer to his peak.

"Oh my god!" she panted, her face contorting in painful ecstasy. "Kakashi, I'm-! I'm-!"

"That's it, Yuriko," he purred low. "Cum for me."

Yuriko's hips met his in a frenzy for a few more thrusts until a flood of heat rushed through her. She screamed his name and her vision went white, her head feeling light and body twitching uncontrollably while her inner walls spasmed around Kakashi's length, pulling him over the edge as well. He clenched his eyes shut, but his mouth hung open as he groaned out, his seed shooting into the condom. They both collapsed, Kakashi falling backward and Yuriko falling with him and they lay there, motionless and trying desperately to catch up with the breath that had run away from them. When Yuriko's vision returned, she examined Kakashi's sweat-drenched face and a small smile spread across her lips and tears bubbled up on her eyelids. Feeling eyes on him, Kakashi turned his head to look at Yuriko and his eyes widened in concerned shock when he saw the tears in her eyes.

"Did it hurt?" he cooed as he tenderly held her cheek, gently running his thumb along the smooth skin there.

She shook her head "no" and held his hand to her cheek, enjoying the warmth and rough calluses against her tender flesh. He truly did think of her first and it was an amazing feeling to be loved so passionately and unconditionally. "I'm happy."

With a compassionate smile, Kakashi turned onto his side and drew her closer, pressing his forehead to hers. "Me too…"

After a while of cuddling, they cleaned up a little, discarding the condom and throwing all of their clothes into a pile before they crawled back into bed. With Kakashi's arm around her holding her safe and warm against his bare chest, Yuriko smiled to herself and pressed herself flush against him. He responded by pressing his lips to her head and holding her tighter, a smile of his own across his face as he buried it into her lavender and vanilla scented hair.

"Yuriko?" he called. She responded with a tired, questioning hum, so he knew she was listening. She needed to be listening because there was something he had to tell her; "I love you."

A blush blossomed over her cheeks but her smile widened and heart fluttered. "I know. I love you, too."
