So, this chapter does not have any music in it. This one is kind of just explains what exactly happened between Sasuke and Sakura and why they sort of hate each other. Or rather, why Sakura hates Sasuke. This chapter is DEFINITELY rated M for sexual content. Do not go and report me if you do not like it because I have warned you ahead of time. This is by far the longest chapter I have written for this story, so I hope you enjoyed. I literally pushed out as much details as I could. If this chapter or story gets taken off because of content, then I will re-post the other chapters again and just put a cleaner version of this chapter up. However, I know those who appreciate my writing will enjoy it nonetheless. Enjoy my lovelies.

Oh, and just a side note: All three are at the drinking age limit. Just wanted to clear that up if y'all were confused by all their excessive drinking.

Sasuke's Burlesque Chapter 4

Naruto had an inkling feeling that both Sasuke and Sakura were in a bad mood.

He frowned when another glare was shot between the two where they sat on either side of him. The man sighed again and threw back his fourth shot of the night. Naruto Uzumaki was a dense man, but by all means he was NOT stupid when it came to the tense air that enveloped the trio. When he had invited Sakura out to dinner on a stormy Saturday, because he knew it was their only day off from their jobs, he had hoped they would be slightly okay with being within two feet of each other. They sat in a classy bar inside a dance club on the other side of the city, where only those who could afford the high priced drinks and food could go. It was probably his fault for possibly NOT telling the very attractive woman on his right that the man on his left was going to be there…

"So, Naruto," Sakura said suddenly, making him jump in his seat. "This is a nice place you chose for tonight."

"Yeah," Naruto chuckled nervously. "Sasuke and I found this place a couple years ago so we thought it would be nice to have a sort of reunion on your day off!"

At the mention of Sasuke, Sakura tensed and Naruto froze. There was a sharp jab to his left side and he yelped. Sasuke glared at him and mouthed we? to him, but Naruto ignored him and held up a hand.

"Hey, bartender! Mind getting our lady friend another martini?" The bartender flashed a smile at the three, his gaze lingering on Sakura another second before turning to make her drink. Sakura turned in her swinging stool, crossing a barely covered leg over the other. She wore a short, black dress that was scooped in the front, making her breasts look even fuller than ever. The length of the dress touched her mid-thigh, but when she had crossed her legs the dress rode up and the curve of her bottom could almost be seen. The pumps she also wore on her dainty feet were five inches, and when she stood they made her legs look impossibly long. Her makeup was also stunning, her eye lashes long and the eyeliner made her eyes look even greener than what they were. Sakura smirked at how the bartender had stared at her; she knew she was sexy without anyone telling her she was.

Sasuke scoffed as he assessed her outfit. He wondered if she could go without looking like a complete slut for a second, but in the back of his mind, he loved how she looked. If he did not, then there was a chance that he was a bit gay. He leaned his elbows on the bar top, narrowing his eyes when Sakura gave the bartender a sultry smile and a breathy thank you. The poor man looked like he was just came in his pants at the attention the woman was giving him, and Sasuke scoffed out loud at that. Sakura turned a sharp glare at him, her eyes narrowing in contempt. Naruto gave an irritated sigh and moved from the bar.

"If all you two are going to do is sit there and glare at each other, then I'm going to go dance." Naruto straightened his polo and pulled down his black slacks to readjust himself. "I'm tired of feeling the harsh sexual tension between you two. It's suffocating me." He headed in the direction of the dancing and pounding, immediately finding a pretty little thing with dark, black hair, big doe eyes, and started grinding behind her.

Sasuke and Sakura were silent after Naruto's comments. Sasuke looked at Sakura out of the corner of his eye and saw she was staring into her full martini glass, her eyebrows furrowed. If he did not know it any better, she had a sprinkle of a blush on her cheeks. Sakura looked at him suddenly, yet another glare on her face.

"Do you have anything to say?" she asked him. Confused, Sasuke only stared her with a cocked eyebrow.

"Why would I have anything to say to you?" he questioned. "You are the one who shoots retorts at me for no reason. You have been nothing but a cold hearted bitch to me since the first time I saw you. I have done nothing wrong to you."

"You have done everything!" Sakura hissed. With a sort of desperation, she gulped down her martini and slid off her stool, wobbling a little after the alcohol hit her system. Sasuke rolled his eyes at her clumsiness and gave the bartender a hundred dollar bill, telling him to keep the change as his tip. Grabbing his dark jacket off the back of the stool, he followed the girl out to the dance floor, where he caught her just as she was about to grab a random stranger to dance with her. He grabbed her wrist and she froze in her tracks. With eyes the sizes of a deer's, Sakura looked up at him with a certain sense of fear, longing, and she bit her lip. As he opened his mouth to say something to her, a body hit her from behind, causing her to tumble right into his arms. Sasuke grabbed onto her hips to steady her, but then froze when she looked up at him with eyes that made him almost groan in anticipation. As she straightened to her full height, his grip on her tightened and drifted to her thighs.

"Since you can sing so well," Sakura grinned, "let's see how well you can dance."

Sakura turned so her back so it was against his chest, which could begrudgingly admitted was well built. Sasuke stared down at her in shock, but then gritted his teeth against the challenge she was giving him. When she grabbed his hands to replace them on her waist, he pushed her hands aside and grabbed her waist with a hard grip. He did not see her eyes roll back in desire, and Sakura rolled her hips against his harshly. Not taken aback at her sudden harshness, Sasuke could not help but smirk as he let his hands slide over her hips to her thighs once again. However, this time he played with the hem of her dress and Sakura had to bite her lip from moaning for him. She brought one of her hands up to slide up his neck and grab the hair on the nape of his neck, grinning when he groaned in her ear. He grabbed her hips and practically ground into her bottom, and she could not help but blush when she felt his stiffness rubbing into her as well. Butterflies dancing in her lower abdomen, she closed her eyes and let her other hand slide down his thigh beside hers. Sasuke hissed in her ear when she slid close to the junction where his hip and thigh meet and he nipped at it.

Quickly, Sasuke spun her around. To him, Sakura was utterly beautiful and the sight of her practically squirming in his grasp and her lips parting for much needed air made him growl under his breath. When he went to grab her hips, it was not hard and demanding, but rather it made her shiver at how softly he was touching her. His hands ascended from her hips to her waist, where they continued to her ribs, outside her breasts, and went to cradle her face. Sakura smirked and stepped closer to him so her body was touching his again. His right hand dropped to her waist again to assist her, pressing their bodies so close they could feel each other's heartbeats. The hand that was cradling Sakura's right cheek went down to caress her neck as she exposed it to him, her eyes fluttering shut while he leaned over her with a sexy smirk. Sasuke nipped at her neck lightly and when she gasped in surprised, he could not help but grin at her response. Her eyes snapped opened to look at him, and he almost almost took her right then and there. Sakura's eyes were clouded with a lust he had seen in a long time and he instinctively clutched at her body to bring it as close as he could so she could feel every part of him.

However, the reaction he was expecting from her was not what he thought was going to be. Sakura gave a sharp gasp and pushed away from him, staring at him with an expression that made his eyes widen. She was staring at him with a look of horror, like what he had done to her was violating her. Her mouth was agape and tears were spilling from her eyes as she took in quick breaths. Her left hand went to clench at her lower abdomen, and he was, for the first time in his adult life, actually scared.

Sakura stared at him with such a betrayed expression.

She had totally forgotten where she was, who she was with, and why she was there.

She had to get out of that moment.

She had to forget.

Now.

Turning on her heel, Sakura ran off the dance floor towards the exit of the club. After the initial shock of Sakura's reaction, Sasuke ran after her, calling out her name. However, it was drowned out by the loud, pulsing music. He burst out of the club and into the pouring rain. Looking around, he saw Sakura's already drenched form steadily walking away, her arms around her to keep her warm in the rain. She had taken her heels off and they were dangling from her clutched hands. Sasuke stalked after her, his feet squelching in his black dress shoes and his white dress shirt sticking to his soaked form. He came upon her quickly, grabbing her wrist harshly.

"Let go of me, Sasuke!" Sakura screamed at him.

"Not until you tell me what I have done to make you like this!" Sasuke yelled back at her.

"You have done everything!"

Although this was the second time that night she had said that to him, Sasuke was actually taken aback by this. Sakura was glaring at the ground, her salty tears mixing with the rain.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Sasuke questioned. "I have not done anything to you!"

"How can you not remember?" Sakura looked up at him, her lips pulled back into a snarl as she started to sob. "You took my virginity after we graduated!"

At the striking confession, Sasuke jerked his hand back from her wrist as if she had burned him. His eyes widened as he stared at her sobbing form. How could he not remember such an important fact like that? He could not believe Sakura would tell a lie like that to him!

"You are lying," he hissed, his eyes narrowing at her.

"Why would I lie about that?!" Sakura screamed.

"If I had taken that from you, I would certainly remember it."

"We were drunk! Naruto threw that ridiculous graduation party and we were all hammered." Sakura rubbed at her arms and she refused to look at him. "We were dancing to the music he had playing with everyone else and then…we…you…you kissed me and we ended up…fucking in Naruto's bedroom."

The way she said they fucked had Sasuke clutching at his head as he tried to remember. All he could remember was waking up to an empty bed and a nasty hangover. It would also explain why he woke up naked as well. There had been no sign of anyone being in the room with him beside the ruffled sheets beside him.

"It was a fuck. Nothing more," Sakura said. She turned her back to him, her hair a darker shade of pink from the rain and it hung limply down her back. "This was why I never wanted to see you again. You took my virginity and I left right after because I realized that's all it was; a fuck. And maybe that was my fault."

Sasuke could not find anything to say to her and she scoffed at his shocked expression.

"Whatever," she sneered. "I'm going home. This was a total waste of time." And with that, Sakura walked away from the man she had freely given herself to. As she walked away, her expression changed from one of sadness to one of uncaring seriousness.

Sasuke watched her walk away, head pounding from trying to remember and the several shots he had downed before. The door behind him opened behind him and Naruto stumbled out with a laugh. Upon seeing his friend a few feet outside the club, being drenched by the pounding rain, his expression turned serious and he walked up to Sasuke. He looked at his face and his eyes saddened at the pained expression he was showing. Naruto looked up and saw Sakura's disappearing form, and realized what had happened.

"Hey, man," he whispered to Sasuke. "Let's go home. I'll go call a cab." His friend only acknowledged him with a slight nod and he sighed. He turned away and hailed a passing cab. When Naruto returned for his friend, Sasuke was staring down at his hands with an empty look. Naruto had seen how he and Sakura were all over each other on the dance floor, and how those hands had glided over the body of their once close friend. He had seen how Sasuke's eyes had stared down at the girl with all the tenderness in the world, and something occurred to Naruto. Although Sasuke had said to him how he had never loved Sakura in high school, he clearly remembered seeing them make their way up the stairs of his home, making out and those same hands grabbing at anything they could. He almost chuckled when he remembered how quickly he had tried to burn his sheets the next day. Even though Sasuke could not remember what had happened between him and Sakura, Naruto knew inside somewhere he did. If he did not have feelings for their friend, then he would not have initiated the intimate contact with her.

Once inside the cab, Sasuke leaned his head against the window and watched as raindrops rolled down it. Naruto stared at him with pity and gave the driver directions to their apartment. A few minutes into the ride, Sasuke opened his mouth.

"I would have known if I had done it," he murmured, his dark eyes staring at nothing.

Naruto nodded at his friend. "You both WERE pretty drunk."

"Then how did she remember?"

"She woke up in your arms the next morning. How else would she remember?"

Sasuke was silent again and Naruto sighed. "It's not your fault, man. Someone spiked the alcohol with something so powerful a lot of people woke up the next morning not being to remember much." When all he received was a heavy breath, Naruto looked at his best friend and his eyes narrowed in sadness. Tears were rolling down Sasuke's cheeks, but he was not crying loudly. He was biting his lip to keep the sobs in as much as possible, and Naruto knew it was mostly for his manly pride to not cry in front of another man. Feeling so bad for him, Naruto leaned over and put an arm around his shoulders. He brought him close in a brotherly hug, Sasuke's forehead pressed against his shoulder. It was then the heart-wrenching sobs he had been trying so hard to conceal escaped Sasuke.

Sakura slammed her door open and threw her bag at the wall, all of its contents spilling on the floor. She slung her heels across the room, where they smashed into a picture hanging on the wall and effectively smashing the glass everywhere. Her mouth pulled into a snarl, she stalked past the living room of her apartment and into her bathroom. She stared at her reflection, taking in her disarrayed appearance. Her makeup was running down her cheeks from the rain and tears, which were still spilling down her cheeks in hot, angry trails. Those bright green eyes that were always so highly praised and envied were bloodshot red from her anger and crying. The tip of her nose was pink as well as her cheeks, and her hair was an absolute mess. She snarled at her appearance and began stripping from her outfit, yanking the material from her body and turning the knobs of the shower one. When the water was warm enough, Sakura stepped into the spacious stall. The warm water pounded over her cold form and she sighed in content.

Sakura lifted her face to the water and closed her eyes. The images of Sasuke's hurt and shocked expression made them snap back open. She inhaled shakily and reached for the bar of soap to wash away the sweat, makeup, and other impurities from her skin. Lathering it, she ran the soap over her face and down her neck, stopping suddenly. The feeling of Sasuke's teeth on her lithe neck made her bite her lip in frustration. Why did he always invade her mind?! She could not have a peace of mind anymore? As the soap washed down her body, Sakura imagined the feeling as Sasuke's fingertips running down her body. Her breathing quickened and her head fell against the tile of the shower wall, biting her lip again, but this time it was to keep the tears at bay. The memories of that night haunted her every single night and every single day; they never left her.

She would never forget.

A sob escaped her and her back hit the shower wall. She slid down as another sob forced its way out. She buried her head in her arms and her hands grabbed at her wet hair.

She just wanted to forget.

The music pounded through the whole house and bodies grinded against each other. Drinks were passed back and forth. Sasuke downed his nth drink of the night, head swimming and his tongue loose as he joked with Naruto. The host of the party laughed loudly as Sasuke grabbed another drink, grinning sloppily.

"Dude, I haven't seen you drink this much since prom a few months ago!" the blonde laughed. His words were slurred and Sasuke had no doubt his would be too if he spoke.

"Well, this is obviously a special occasion, loser," he slurred. Yeah, he was right. He was practically destroying the written language with how he was slurring. "Why would I not drink?"

"Maybe because you're a damn asshole?!"

"Maybe!"

Suddenly, Naruto started jostling him with his elbow over and over, pointing to something over his shoulder. Sasuke turned around his jaw almost dropped at the sight of Sakura Haruno, dressed in an outfit that would have made any man howl at the moon for her. The dress she wore barely covered her tiny body, reaching just below her bottom and it sparkled in the flashing lights. Her hair was down and curled in loose curls. To Sasuke, she was absolutely beautiful.

"I'm gonna go talk to her," Sasuke said suddenly. He struggled to get up from the couch they were sitting on, and Naruto laughed at his efforts.

"Dude, you—you're so drunk!" Naruto guffawed.

"So? She's fucking hot man," Sasuke shot back and walked over to Sakura, where she was standing with her best friend, Ino Yamanaka. Ino must have seen him coming because she slapped Sakura on the arm rather hard and Sakura yelped. She glared at the blonde, but when she saw where and who she was pointing at, she blushed a dark red. She started gesturing to Ino, pointing at the door with a pleading look, but Ino only laughed at her, gave her a wink, and not so subtly pushed her towards the boy walking towards them. They stopped in front of each other, Sasuke giving her his devilishly handsome smirk and Sakura staring at the floor.

"Hey, Sakura," he said. Her name rolled off his lips like sultry liquid and he saw the blush on her face darken even more.

"Um, hey, Sasuke," she murmured. Sakura did not notice as he leaned towards her and did not see the smirk he was sporting.

"You look absolutely fantastic," he breathed, and Sakura looked up at him with wide, wide eyes. She in turn gave him a pretty smirk and replied with a breathy thank you and you should get me a drink. Sasuke's smirk widened and he walked with her behind him to the "refreshments." He mixed a shot of vodka and when he went to mix it with something fruity, Sakura stayed his hand and shook her head. Instead, she took the glass of vodka and threw it back like a pro, only grimacing slightly. His smirk faltered at the action, but only out of disbelief. He had not known Sakura was that kind of drinker. He pictured her more of a fruity drink kind of drinker, seeing as how dainty and tiny she was.

It honestly turned him on a little…

Sakura served herself this time and took his hand in hers. "Want to dance, big boy?" she asked with a smirk. Sasuke smirked back at her and she tugged him towards the dance floor, slipping in between bodies. She looked back at him with a sexy gleam in her eye and he was truly taken aback by this new Sakura. She had had only two drinks and suddenly she's a sexy, confident little spit fire that made his feet curl in anticipation. He liked this new Sakura, not the one who sat behind text books and studied all day, and blushed constantly when he was around. He could still feel the bruise on his cheek from when he had tried to grope her at graduation, and when he looked down at the curve of her prized asset, his smirk turned into a grin.

The girl in front of him stopped and he bumped into her. Sasuke put his hands on her hips, gulping when he saw the sultry look she was giving him. She guided his hands to her waist and she started dancing on him, grinding on him with the part of her body he had tried to grab earlier that night. He groaned and pressed her harder against him, and he felt her shudder against him. Sakura let a moan escape her and it vibrated from her body to his. He let his hands roam from her waist to her thighs, slightly parting them to rub at her inner thighs. Sasuke was certainly no virgin, and how did he expect her to be by the way she was moving against him like this? Sakura acted as if she was a natural at this, so naturally she could not be. However, in his sober mind, he knew she was. They and Naruto had all been friends since elementary school, and she told them everything. But, Drunk Sasuke was telling him she was a sexy little thing that was a pro at this type of stuff.

Sakura raised her arms and ran her hands through his messy hair, tugging at it and the act made him drop his head to her shoulder in desire. Sasuke breathed hot and heavy breaths on her neck, panting as her grinding stimulated him further, forcing him into a place he had never been in; not even with the other girls he had been with. He knew Sakura could feel his arousal because she was breathing heavy too. Her breath came out in sharp gasps and one of his hands slipped further up her right thigh. One of her breaths came out as a clipped sigh and her movements became deeper, almost desperate to get more of him. The other hand that was not groping higher up her thigh scaled up her body, ghosting over her waist to her breasts, where he lingered for just a second, and up to her neck. Sasuke moved her neck to the side, baring its silky paleness to him. He marveled how a girl could have such a wonderful, sexy, flawless neck. He panted over her neck before diving right in. Sakura cried out as he bit and sucked at the exposed flesh, but moaned loudly in his ear for more oh Sasuke more and he moved his mouth to her bare shoulder, grabbing it roughly in between his teeth.

Suddenly, Sakura turned in his arms and grabbed his face with her tiny hands. Sasuke moaned in her mouth as she slammed hers against his, tongue shooting out to run over his. He was almost a foot taller than her, so he had to basically bend over to ravage her like he was. But, this did not stop him from pushing her out of the crowd of teenager. He directed her out of the large room and up the stairs to the nearest room. Slamming the door open with his foot, Sasuke led her backwards to the bed against the wall. Letting go of her mouth for a brief moment, he laid her on the bed almost gently. Hovering over her squirming form, he reached beneath her to unzip the impossibly tight dress that encased her hot body. Underneath him, Sakura breathed in his ear to get me out of this dress and she spread her legs for him to move between them. However, instead of immediately taking her dress off, he moved down to her legs and took off the tall heels she had worn. He flung them across the room and when he glanced up at her, he saw her lips were parted in pleasure, her eyes were glazed over with lust, and her chest was heaving for breath.

She was beautiful. Absolutely stunning.

This revelation made his eyes soften despite his raging hormones and tightening pants. Sasuke slid his hand over her foot, her calf, and to her thigh, where her breathing quickened and his hand disappeared into her dress. Only, he did not rip her panties off like he was intending from the start. He only used this as leverage to put himself over her again and look at her in the eyes. Sakura stared at him with glazed eyes, and watched as he slid the dress off her body slowly, almost torturously. She squirmed under his hand and glared at him when he smirked over his triumph in teasing her. Her dress went flying over the edge of the bed and, almost like a slingshot, he was back on her. His mouth slanted over hers and their tongues rolled around. Then, Sakura tugged at Sasuke's button up dress shirt, ripping the shirt open and its buttons flew everywhere. Sasuke helped her by leaning away again and throwing the ruined shirt away from them. His hands were everywhere: her hair, breasts, waist, thighs, all the while getting closer to the area his body desire most. Sakura's nimble fingers worked at his pants button, yanking down his black slacks and navy boxers –the ones she had gotten him for his birthday as a joke- in one quick movement.

Sasuke's hands moved down her stomach one last time to slide one finger over her moist entrance, and Sakura could not have screamed more beautifully than what she had just done. A proud smirk graced Sasuke's lips at the sound. He was proud he could get a sound to come out of her like that. However, the breath was knocked out of him through a harsh groan as Sakura grabbed him and gave him a long, slow stroke that made the weight he was putting on his arms to hold himself over her almost give out. There was a snicker under him at his reaction, so he bent down and latched onto her neck, earning him a shocked cry. She stroked him again as punishment and he groaned against her neck. Upon instinct, Sasuke stuck a finger inside her and the hand that was not stroking him clutched his back in utter desire, scratching it enough to draw blood. A drawn out moan left her lips, gasping in pleasure as he curled his finger inside her and finding that one spot that made her toes curl and pump him vigorously at the same time.

Sasuke knew that if this continued, they would never actually get to feel the pleasure they had wanted more than anything. He pulled his finger from her, eliciting a quiet moan and whimper of disappointment. She removed her hand from him and he stared down at her. Sakura blushed at the stare he gave her, but she smiled up at him. When he smiled a genuine smile, he saw tears spring to her eyes. So, he did the only thing he thought of: he kissed her. Sakura moved her lips with his, and despite him trying to remain a cool guy, he thought this move was very romantic. The girl underneath raised her hips to his then, and Sasuke hooked an arm under one of her shaking thighs. Her naked chest heaved against his muscular one, and her left hand grabbed onto the nape of his neck and hung on to the hair there.

Stopping at her entrance, Sasuke gave her one more look, almost asking her if it was okay. The only response he received was a whimper of longing and a look of clouded pleasure. With that final confirmation, he slid in easily, but the sensation he felt as soon as he entered her made him release a loud groan as Sakura moaned in his ear. The two stayed completely still, basking in the feeling of being one, Sakura's harsh pants slowing and his breathing not so shallow as it was. The feeling had shocked them the moment it happened, and it had caused the breath in Sasuke's throat to catch. Suddenly, Sakura bucked underneath him, moaning lowly in his ear naughty pleas and they made Sasuke smirk against her shoulder. He started pushing his hips against hers, pushing in and out of her. Her moans of pleasure started to escalate as he went faster, harder upon her loud demand. His back became a canvas of red streaks as her nails marked him all the way down to his buttocks. They cupped his bottom and that spurred Sasuke faster, almost like the action was an indefinite invitation.

Sasuke was in a total state of euphoria, so he could only imagine how the girl beneath him was feeling. He raised himself on his elbows and stared down at Sakura. Her eyes were squeezed shut, and her mouth was open as those sweet squeals of pleasure ripped out of her. His eyes almost rolled back at the sight, but he settled on closing them and dropping his head to her shoulder once again and bit at a spot next to the place where he had already marked her on the dance floor. Sakura's legs clung to his hips and he placed a hand on her hip, using it as leverage to get at a deeper angle. This must have been the right decision because the girl screamed in ecstasy, and her nails created bleeding crescents on his lower back. It turned him on even more at the slight pain and he groaned loudly.

Then, Sasuke could feel her squeezing around his member, and the feeling nearly had him collapsing on top of her the feeling was just that intense. He knew she had felt his reaction through his faltered drives, and he swore she laughed at it. Opening his eyes, they met bright green ones, so full of love and devotion he almost stopped breathing for a second. However, he did slow his pace and took his time pleasuring her, smirking at the low, throaty moans from beneath him. Sasuke noticed it was becoming increasingly difficult to concentrate on what he was doing with those bright green eyes staring at him, but it was like he was totally entranced by them. Without realizing it, his right hand came up from her hip to caress her sweaty, bright red face. He leaned closer to her and gave her such a sweet kiss that Sakura sighed in his mouth and wrapped her arms around his neck. Releasing her mouth, Sasuke moved slowly to kiss her neck, nipping at the base of it, and kissed one of her breasts. Sakura gave a hum of appreciation at the sensation and the sound vibrated through her chest. The man smiled against her skin and reached up again to kiss her, and this kiss was much hotter than the last one.

When Sasuke began to feel the impending tightness in his loins, it was the same time Sakura began giving louder, more drawled out moans and she clutched at him tight. Her thighs gripped onto his hips harder and he could feel her toes curl against his calves. He knew it was time to end this beautiful moment between them, and oh how he did not want it to end. Just the feeling of him being inside her so immensely emotional spurred his movements to go faster and erratically, causing Sakura's response to be one of intense pleasure. She almost screamed at the feeling happening inside her and Sasuke could not help but give a small smirk before his face scrunched up at the pleasure he was also feeling. Grabbing both her thighs, he raised her just a little higher to hit that spot that had drove her crazy.

It was then that Sakura arched her back off the sweat-soaked sheets and cried out loudly. Sasuke's eyes widened as her orgasm rocked both of them and he let out a loud groan as he then rode out his own inside her. He could feel the sweat rolling down his back from their exertions, the salty liquid stinging at the lines on his back from her nails. He then realized his orgasm was probably the most intense one he had ever felt, and his elbows began shaking as he finished. However, since he did not was to fall on Sakura, he stayed where he was. Their harsh breathing filled the dark room as they did not move from their spots, too exhausted to move from their activities.

Sasuke opened his eyes from when they had closed tightly during his explosive release, and his eyes were met with the most beautiful sight. Sakura was staring right up at him, her eyes giving away the smile that was adorning her sweaty, beet-red face. Sweat rolled down the side of her temple and fell down below the lobe of her ear. The marks he had given throughout the night were dark red, contrast to her pale skin that shone with sweat. Her lips were swollen from the passionate kisses they had shared, and he could only imagine his looked the same. Somewhere on his neck, he could feel a pulsing, almost dull pain. He assumed somewhere along the way, Sakura had given him her own marks on various parts of his chest and neck, considering the dull pain was in more than one place. But, the look in her eyes was what made his breath catch in his throat. They were filled with such adoration and emotion, and the love was just so indescribable he had no words for her.

A strange feeling was bubbling in his chest and a smile that held so much emotion broke out on his face.

"I love you," he whispered to her. Sakura's body stiffened under his, but he paid no mind to it as he rolled off her and flopped on his back. He outstretched his arm closest to her and Sakura rolled to her side to face him. As he began to drift off to sleep, influenced by the alcohol he had consumed and his actions with her, he could have sworn whispered something back to him.

"I love you so much, Sasuke."

Let me remind all of you: THIS IS RATED M FOR A REASON. Love it, hate it, I DON'T CARE. And for a reader who was confused on what it meant when Sakura says she
"just wants to forget," it is definitely her saying it and it will be further explained in the next chapter! Love all my lovelies!
