Chapter 14: Aggressive Gentleness


Sakura's POV

"Is Sai really that socially incapable?"

Back in the Pola Museum of Art, Sasuke told me about the little talk he had with Sai. To say that I was shocked was definitely an understatement. After all the blushing and confusion he had caused me, it all turned out to be a major misunderstanding.

I felt so stupid that I could bang my head against the wall in shame.

And when it was just Ino, Tenten, Hinata and I inside one of the hot springs of the inn, I decided to tell them what Sasuke told me.

Of course, Ino didn't stop herself from voicing out her disbelief.

Tenten was laughing her heart out while Hinata was giggling. All I could do was sighing in annoyance.

"I can't believe a popular actor like him could be such a dunce." Tenten roared in laughter after she said that.

"Well, at least now we know that Sai isn't a threat to Sasuke and Sakura's relationship." Hinata had a wide smile on her face as she spoke. I smiled back at her and nodded in agreement.

"Speaking of relationship, how did it go last night, Sakura?" Ino was smirking at me as she nudged my arm. My face began to heat up and I wasn't sure if it was due to Ino's words or the warm water around us.

Well, it was most probably because of Ino.

"Did something happen last night?" Tenten rushed over to Ino and me, looking as excited as always.

"I exchanged rooms with Sasuke last night." Ino said casually, as if it was something normal to do.

"Does that mean Sakura slept with Sasuke last night?" I gawked at how direct Hinata was.

Three pairs of eyes were staring at me intensely and I felt myself sliding downwards. I quickly sat up when I felt water entering my nose.

"We want to know how it went, forehead."

I groaned in defeat as I allowed myself to enter another one of my friends' persuasive 'interrogation'.


Sasuke's POV

"A simple 'thank you' will suffice, Sasuke. I don't need a speech."

"I'm not even planning to say anything, Nara."

"Did something happen? I want to know!" Shikamaru and I snapped our heads to the sudden intruders. It was just the two of us in one of the hot springs until Naruto, Neji and Kiba appeared out of nowhere.

"Nothing happened." I answered in a straightforward tone, not wanting the conversation to continue. But Shikamaru was thinking otherwise.

"Nothing much happened, just Sasuke finally losing his virginity."

There was a silence following Shikamaru's words.

I swore I had the urge to drown myself at that very moment.

"For real?!" Naruto's voice was so loud that I had to remind him to keep his voice down. I couldn't risk having other people listening to our conversation.

"Spill it out, Sasuke. Entertain us with the details." Kiba was laughing so hard he was clutching onto his stomach for support.

I closed my eyes and pretended that I did not hear anything. Of course, I wasn't that naïve to think that it would make my friends drop the topic.

I opened my eyes and cursed under my breath when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I was met with a smirking Neji who was staring at me intently with his white eyes.

"You're not leaving until you talk."

I really just wanted to drown myself by then.


Sakura's POV

I managed to escape from my friends before they forced me into telling them even more embarrassing details. I could hear Ino calling out my name as I ran back to my room. I hastily opened the door and locked it behind me.

When I knew that I was already safe, I let out a sigh of relief. I would just deal with Ino and the others some other time. What I needed was a good night rest.

At least, that was what I thought at first.

I yelped when I felt a pair of strong arms hugging me from behind. I caught a glimpse of raven hair and knew who my 'attacker' was. And the warmth I felt was way too familiar.

I let out another cry of surprise when I was suddenly turned around. Before I could say anything, Sasuke crashed his lips onto mine. At that moment, I wondered how a person could be so aggressive and gentle at the same time. His kiss was filled with burning passion and yet, our contact felt so tender.

I found myself giggling when Sasuke pulled away. I rested my forehead on his and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"What a nice way to welcome me back."

Sasuke smirked at my words and placed a quick kiss on my nose.

"Glad you like it."

I squealed when Sasuke carried me in bridal style and placed me on the bed. He nuzzled my nose with his playfully before helping me to settle against the headrest. I placed my arms around his waist and laid my head on his chest. I could vaguely hear his heartbeat and somehow, the sound made me feel comfortable.

We stayed that way for quite some time, just taking in each other's warmth. Just being able to be in his arms without any words spoken was enough to fill me with joy. Sasuke was the one who decided to break the silence though.

"We'll be having finals in a month, right?"

"Yes. Are you going to ask me to help you with your review again?" I pulled back a little to look at Sasuke, who was putting on a small smirk.

"Maybe I will if you don't mind."

Of course I didn't mind. Sasuke had been busy lately and helping him with his review was a way for me to support him.

"I just received a message from my manager earlier. He said that we'll be done with the first season of the TV drama by the end of next month if we resume filming on Monday."

"Does that mean you'll be rather free during summer holiday?"

Once we finished with our finals, we would be having summer holiday for two months. If Sasuke had not mentioned about the finals, I wouldn't have thought of it.

"Yes. Fortunately for me, I will be having a lot of free time during summer holiday. I finished recording the new album as well. I guess I will only have minor jobs during those two months."

I shrieked with excitement and hugged Sasuke tighter. I loosened my grip when I heard Sasuke complaining that he couldn't breathe. I was too happy to know that I could spend more time with Sasuke during the holidays.

I started thinking of places we should go or things we should do. Sasuke needed his 'magnificent' disguise though but it should be fine. I was thinking we could go for a picnic or watch a movie at the cinema.

But Sasuke's suggestion was very far from what I was imagining.

"I was thinking of going on an overseas trip with you. We can go to places where I am not known so I don't have to go around in that awful disguise."

What?

"Sasuke." I removed my hands from Sasuke's waist and brought my face closer to his. I narrowed my eyes suspiciously, as if trying to see if he was joking or being serious. "Did you just say 'overseas trip'."

"Yes, I am sure that is what I said." Sasuke answered matter-of-factly.

I blinked my eyes several times. I still found it hard to believe that Sasuke was thinking of going overseas with me during the holidays. That was definitely something I had never thought of.

Sasuke noticed my odd expressions and raised an eyebrow at me.

"You don't want to go overseas, Sakura?"

"I do!" I covered my mouth when I realized that I was louder than necessary. Sasuke chuckled at my reaction and I felt my face heating up a little. "I am just surprised, that's all."

"Glad you agreed to it then."

"Where and when are we going? Oh, and for how long will we be there?" Sasuke pinched my cheek when I bombarded him with questions. I winced in pain and slapped his hand away. I frowned at Sasuke but ended up earning a smirk from him.

"I don't know yet. Let's discuss it while reviewing for finals. There's something else I want to do right now."

"What is it?" I gave Sasuke a questioning look when I noticed the mischievousness reflecting from his dark eyes.

"You see, Shikamaru gave me more presents. And I don't want to let his kindness go down the drain."

My face flushed immediately and I turned away from Sasuke in an instant.

It seemed like my good night rest had to wait.


Sasuke's POV

"S-Sasuke, it tickles."

I continued licking Sakura's soaking womanhood despite her protests. After all, her body and words were contradicting. The way she writhed on the bed showed that she was enjoying what I was giving her.

Sakura's moans became uncontrollable when I started trusting my tongue inside her. The sounds she was making served as encouragement, making me go even faster. I brought her to her limit when I played with her clit as I pleasured her with my tongue.

"Sasuke!"

I loved the way Sakura screamed my name as she came on my mouth. I licked her juices from her slightly throbbing womanhood before moving upwards to face her. I placed my hands on either side of her head and watched her pant. Her body was covered in a thin layer of sweat and it made her even more alluring.

When Sakura finally caught her breath again, she suddenly sat up and pushed me onto the bed. I rested my head on the pillow and felt even more aroused when Sakura's wetness was touching my abdomen.

I watched her reach for Shikamaru's 'thoughtful'present on the night stand and ripped the wrapper. The way she used her teeth to do so was simply enticing. I groaned slightly when I felt Sakura's hands touching my erection as she helped me put on the condom.

My mind was clouded by lust to think straight. I wasn't sure what Sakura planned to do but I allowed her to have her way. Whatever she was going to do, I was sure I would like it anyway.

Sakura gave me a trail of sensual kisses, from my jaws all the way down to my abdomen. And the way she would purposely allow our bodies to come in contact once in a while sent waves of pleasure throughout my body.

And without much warning, Sakura positioned herself on top of my throbbing manhood and inserted it inside her tight cavern. She moaned at the sudden intimacy and grabbed onto my hips for support. I gripped onto the sheets tightly as I groaned at the sensation I felt as Sakura's walls clenched my hard dick.

The pleasure I felt increased immensely when Sakura began moving up and down on my manhood. And watching Sakura's breasts heaving made everything even more enjoyable.

"Sasuke, it feels so good." Sakura's hoarse voice combined with her lustful eyes was enough to bring me towards my climax. But I wasn't going to cum until Sakura was satisfied.

I reached my hands upwards and fondled Sakura's breasts. She moaned louder, proving that she was becoming even more aroused.

"You're so beautiful, Sakura. And you feel so good."

I saw Sakura's face reddening at my words and I couldn't get enough of her expressions. She was consumed by lust and the sight of that made my dick throb continuously.

When Sakura increased her pace and I could feel her walls tightening on me, I knew she was close.

"S-Sasuke. I don't think I can get enough of your big dick. Y-You make me feel so good."

"Sakura." I moaned her name as I felt my own climax approaching.

"I'm going to cum, Sasuke!" With that said, Sakura let out another loud moan before reaching her orgasm. I groaned as I released my load as well. Sakura collapse onto me, her breasts pressed onto my chest and her head resting on my shoulder.

We remained in silence as we panted for air. I wrapped my arms around Sakura's rather sticky body and kissed her on the cheek.

She brought her head up to give me a sweet smile. Her face was still flushed and I could feel her racing heartbeat. I tightened my embrace and whispered in her ear.

"We should definitely do this more often."


Sakura's POV

After the trip to Hakone, Sasuke became even busier than ever. He barely went to school and I would meet up with him in his apartment after he was done with work. It was the same with Sai. He was equally busy and was rarely at school too.

Speaking of Sai, I noticed that the rumors about the three of us died down drastically. It seemed that Sasuke and Sai's managers worked together to make people stop talking about it. I honestly had no idea what they did but it was amazing how they managed to do so. If I remembered correctly, Sasuke mentioned that Sai's manager was named Yamato.

And he was as capable as Orochimaru in terms of being a manager.

I thought of another reason why the rumors ceased faster than I had expected. After Sasuke cleared his misunderstanding with Sai back in our field trip, the improvement in their relationship was apparent. The people around them, including those from our school, must have noticed it too. Seeing the two of them slowly becoming friends must have somehow made people conclude that the whole rumor was just a misunderstanding.

Well, it was just my observation but it somewhat made sense.

Whenever I visited them at the filming sites, I would sometimes see Sasuke glaring at Sai. But it didn't have the same intimidation like before. It was just harmless irritation. After all, Sai was still the clueless yet straightforward person he was.

As for me, after I learned the truth behind Sai's weird actions, I was friendlier towards him. Although his insensitive words would still annoy me from time to time, I was still willing to be his friend. He still had to work on his social skills though.

But I was sure he would do just fine.

Unfortunately, the circumstances didn't allow me to visit them often when they were working. Although no pictures of me were released on the internet, a very detailed description of me was posted online. And there weren't many people with pink hair around. I had fitted the description perfectly and Sasuke and Sai's fan girls seemed to 'recognize' me.

At first I tried to act like I wasn't affected but I stopped doing so when it became unbearable. Sasuke successfully persuaded me that it was safer for us to meet in his apartment instead. And he was worried that someone might try to harm me, just like how one of his fan girls tried to push me into the lake back at Hakone.

I was reluctant but agreed at the end. I didn't want to worry Sasuke and ended up distracting him from his work. And my annoyance was washed away by our 'alone time' back at his apartment.

That was how I managed to become the patient girlfriend I was.

After what felt like an eternity, Sasuke finally finished filming the first season of the TV drama. There was exactly a week left from finals and we were given the whole week as study break. We didn't have to go to school for the entire week and were allowed to review on our own.

Sasuke moved back to his house since he would be rather free from then on. I was over at his house on Monday afternoon to start reviewing for the finals. We were inside his room working on some tutorial questions when Sasuke suddenly brought up a topic I had been anticipating.

"Sakura, is it alright if we go on our trip on the second week of summer holiday? I have a photo shoot for a magazine on the first week."

"Of course!" I had been waiting for this discussion for a long time. And I definitely didn't see a problem about us going on the second week. That meant I could use the first week to go shopping and all that.

"Great. I already thought of some places we can go and I'm planning to discuss it with you. I want to hear your opinions as well."

Did Sasuke say 'places'? I controlled myself and tried my best not to squeal in excitement. I didn't expect we would go to more than one place. But Sasuke would be free and free time was rare for Sasuke. He must have wanted to make good use of the rare time he had and travel to more places.

I was thinking of some places close by. We could travel around South Korea or the Philippines. I had been to both countries and I loved them a whole lot. I definitely didn't mind going back for the second time with Sasuke. I even thought that we could go to Taiwan or Hong Kong. I had been there as well but I had wanted to go back again. And if it was with Sasuke, I would love it even more.

But I had always dreamed of going on a tour to Europe with my significant other. The atmosphere would be absolutely romantic and we would hold hands as we walked around famous attractions. And the thought of kissing under the clear skies at some of the most romantic cities in the world could make me scream in happiness.

However, that dream was rather unrealistic and much too optimistic so I shrugged it off. It honestly didn't matter where we would go. It was the company that mattered, after all.

"So, where are you thinking of going?" I asked Sasuke as I fiddled with my pen. My eyes were fixated on Sasuke, who had not left his eyes from the exercises in front of him.

He continued working on the questions as he spoke in his usual expressionless tone.

"Europe."

I swore I froze instantly. The pen I was playing with fell onto the desk and I couldn't bring myself to move an inch. I felt like my mind was hit by a tornado as I stared at the awfully calm Sasuke, who was still focused on the work in front of him.

He sure was full of surprises and I must say I couldn't get enough of them.
