Kakashi settled back in a chair in the darkened kitchen, waiting for Sakura to come home. It was two hours past the end of her shift, but it wasn't odd for her to work extra hours—it showed just how dedicated she was to the people of Konoha.

Being home for five days and choosing to not go beyond a simple kiss, surprisingly hadn't made him crazed yet—however, he was sure that his plans for the night would dangerously tempt him. But he was enjoying this game with her. It's just another quirky side of their unusual, but loving relationship.

When he had arrived at her apartment an hour ago, he had removed his shoes, vest, weapons, mask and hitae-ate, leaving him in just a baggy sweater and pants. Tonight was about seduction and seeing how far they could push it without caving.

Knowing that Sakura found his arms sexy, he rolled up his sleeves, showing off his toned forearms. He had also positioned himself in such a way that he was out in the open, but hidden in the dark shadows of her kitchen.

Kakashi had been about to get up to stretch when he heard a key chain jingle and then a key entered the lock and twisted it open. Sakura wasn't expecting him, which is exactly how he liked it. For him, the best part about this little game of theirs was catching her off guard, and seeing the surprise and anticipation on her face as he stalked her for another one of their kisses.

By the time she entered her apartment, Sakura was exhausted and she didn't notice anything amiss as she dropped her bags and kicked off her shoes. She was looking forward to relaxing in a hot shower and then crawling into bed.

When she saw something out of the corner of her eye move, she immediately crouched and reached for a weapon, until she saw the shock of familiar silver hair.

"Kakashi, what are you doing here?" she asked as she rose from her ready-to-attack position. Her shoulders slumped in exhaustion as she relaxed.

Kakashi could tell that she was nearly dead on her feet. "I've brought you dinner. Why don't you go take a shower, and by the time you're out, dinner will be warm and ready," he suggested as he stood and walked over to her. Reaching out to her, he cupped her cheek with one hand and rested the other on her hip, allowing her to lean into him. She placed her face directly into his chest, allowing herself a brief cuddle.

His hand slipped from her cheek to the back of her neck as he massaged the tension that had gathered there. She mumbled something indecipherable into his chest, however, he grasped the general tone of her happy mumble.

"Go on now and shower. You'll feel better afterwards," he said as he nudged her in the direction of her bathroom.

"Mmm, okay," she mumbled sleepily as she headed away from the kitchen.

Kakashi turned on a few lights and prepared their dinner. It didn't take long; it was take-out and only needed to be reheated. However, time wasn't an issue since Sakura had a short shower, and soon reappeared in shorts, a tank top and soaking wet hair.

Just as Kakashi was plating their food, Sakura came up behind him, and wrapped her arms around his middle and once more rested her head on his back.

"Thank you for getting us dinner and getting it ready," she said, kissing him between his shoulder blades.

"It's no problem. I know you had a long day at work, and you need to eat." Kakashi turned and handed her her plate. But as she turned to walk away, he noticed the tag hanging out on her tank top. He quickly snaked an arm around her stomach, stopping her from walking away.

"Wait... your tag is out," he said quietly. He brushed his hand up her arm and across her shoulder, moving aside her long hair, shifting it to her other shoulder. He saw her shiver and break out in goosebumps as he trailed his fingers long her bare skin. Carefully he tucked the tag into her shirt and let her out of his embrace.

"There. That's better," he murmured as he fixed his own plate.

Sakura watched him suspiciously as he joined her at the table. She knew that he was up to something, but she tried to keep a blank face since it was always so easy to read it.

Kakashi could tell that Sakura was wary of him tonight. However, it was time to up the game. He 'accidentally' stretched his feet forward and let them rest against hers, letting them brush against her warm and soft skin periodically while they ate.

They caught up on each other's day, chatting between bites of food. Once their plates were empty they continued to chat about local news. Kakashi reached out with his hand and absentmindedly traced a circle on her inner wrist with his finger. He once more saw the goosebumps race up her arm at his actions. It was time to put the rest of his plan into action.

"Why don't you go relax on the couch, and I'll clean up in here," he suggested.

"Okay, thank you. It's nice to have you over here like this." She smiled at him and moved to the couch.

It didn't take long for Kakashi to clean up the kitchen and place the dirty dishes in the sink. He moved to join her on the couch, sitting right beside her, making sure his warm thigh was brushing up against hers.

"Dinner was delicious. Do you have something planned for dessert?" she teased knowing that he didn't care for sweets the same way she did.

Kakashi smirked at her as he reached over to her. "Yes I do. You're my dessert," he announced as he grabbed her hips and hauled her into his lap. She immediately spread her legs to fit over his thighs. She could feel the start of his erection pressing against her. Trying to get her balance, she placed her hands on his shoulder, gripping the fabric there.

He ran his hands up her sides and under her flimsy tank top. As his hand lowered down her back, he traced his blunt nails gently down her back. Her reaction was immediate—moaning and pressing down into his lap while letting her head drop back. She leaned back into his hands and allowed him to support her body.

How quickly her mood could shift from content to turned on still surprised her from time to time—although it shouldn't really. The heat between her and Kakashi had still yet to recede, and she was as hot for him as when they first started dating.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the feel of his hot tongue playing with a nipple through her shirt. She couldn't help but shift forward and press her chest into his face, loving the feel of his mouth playing with her.

Kakashi tightened his hold on her, keeping her exactly where he wanted her. He darted to her other breast and laved at that one with equal fervency. Once both breasts were thoroughly worshiped, he kissed his way up her neck, leaving delicate marks of attention in his wake. Finally moving to her mouth he attacked it with zeal, and all her breath rushed out of her lungs at once. His talented tongue had a way with her, easily taking control and easily pushing her to the brink of her sanity. His hands still had a tight grip on her, holding her in place as he dominated her mouth.

He pulled his head back and pushed her hips down once more into his lap, allowing them both to enjoy the building pressure there.

"Kakashi," she moaned, "take me to my room already," she pleaded with him.

Capturing her mouth once more, he kissed her, directing all of his need into that kiss, trying to expel the deep lust he felt for her. "No."

With one last press of his lips against hers, he stood with her still in his arms. Her legs immediately wrapped around his waist, pressing her flush against the bulge in his pants. "I can feel how much you want this too, Kakashi."

"Yes, but you haven't learned your lesson yet," he said with finality. He pulled at her hips until her legs came undone from around his body. "No more tonight. At least not from me," he smirked at her.

"You're going to drive me insane," she sighed as she leaned into his hot body.

"I know. That might just be the point. But for tonight, that's all you're getting from me. But when you go play with yourself later, think about me." He gave her ass a sound pat as he moved away from her.

"You know, if you stick around, you can make sure it's your name I call out when I come," she taunted him.

"Oh I know I'm the only thing you can think about, and once I get home, it'll be your name on my lips," he said as he gathered his things. "Good night Sakura. Sweet dreams."

Day 5 done... Sakura hasn't lost her sanity yet...
