Three: Shikamaru and Temari

I don't own Naruto or any of its characters

It was so troublesome and the Sand Country was so hot this time of year. However, the beaches of the sand country were beautiful….and isolated. Shikamaru sat on the shore watching the waves crash into the sand before him. He had stripped down to the point that the only thing he was now wearing was his charcoal gray shorts. He wondered to himself where she was…it was always so troublesome when she was late. Shikamaru sighed and laid back into the sand, might as well stare at the clouds. There was a breeze that continuously blew down the beach, constantly shifting the sand and making the palms flutter. As much as Shikamaru hated to admit it, he enjoyed the solitude and peacefulness of the Sand Country Beaches.

"There you are! You were supposed to meet me underneath the pier…instead I find you in the middle of the beach." Temari had arrived. She startled Shikamaru who had almost drifted off into sleep. He sat up quickly shaking sand from his hair.

"Temari!" He said slightly surprised. "Temari." He said again, this time more calmly, in fact it there was actually a little bit of intrigue in his voice. He stared at her for a moment before getting up from the sand. She was looming over him with hands on her hips seeming a little frustrated that she had been searching the beach for him. The breeze blew through the short black sarong that was tied around her hips. It wasn't everyday Temari wore a bikini to her bi-weekly meetings with Shikamaru. Typically, it was business as usual over dinner or at whoever's apartment depending on which country the meeting would take place. However, it was mid summer and the beach was the perfect meeting place for today.

"What's wrong? Have you never seen a woman in a bikini before?" Temari asked feeling Shikamaru's eyes all over her, and it was easy to understand why…to put it bluntly, Temari had turned into a very sexy young woman she was hard to miss. She had always been attractive, but now it was very obvious.

"I have." Shikamaru said rolling his eyes at her. "Troublesome…woman." He whispered to himself standing up and shaking the rest of the sand off him.

"Well, let's walk towards the pier; we have a lot to discuss today."

"What exactly do we have to discuss? I thought we covered everything in our last meeting." Shikamaru had to concentrate on keeping his eyes either above Temari's neck or straight ahead." The tide was coming in and the waves were beginning to lap at their feet.

"We have to decide when and where the next Chuunin exams are going to be held, it does concern our countries you know, we alternate being the host country."

"Well….uuuhhh…it's your country's turn this year, Konohagakure hosted it last year." Shikamaru said rather absently.

"Okay, so I guess it's the job of you and I to be the country representatives during the drafting of the letter to all the candidates…you know sign them and count how many perspective candidates we'll have from all if the countries." Shikamaru said.

"Yes, and we need to make certain there are plenty of proctors for each level of the exam, we don't want there to be a shortage." Temari insisted.

"You have really nice skin, there's barely a tan line on you." Shikamaru had no idea why he had said what he had just said, it was obvious he wasn't paying attention to any of the conversation they were having. Temari flashed her green eyes toward him.

"What?" She said with no particular inflection in her voice. Shikamaru stopped her in her steps.

"Well, it's like you're naturally this tan because I could flick this string around your back and there isn't a line underneath it at all." Shikamaru told her pulling the think string of the top of her bikini away from her back, only letting it go to smack her back. Temari laughed.

"That wouldn't be the only place I don't have tan lines." Temari said with unprecedented confidence. Shikamaru felt his mouth go suddenly bone dry. A terribly mischievous grin crept across Temari's face. "You wanna see?" she raised her eyebrows. The look on Shikamaru's face was priceless, it was a combination of shock and 'oh god show me now before my curiosity kills me'. Shikamaru started to say something but before he could get it out she had stripped herself of her top and tied it to Shikamaru's belt loop. She shook her sandy hair out of her face. That was probably the ultimate turn on of all turn on's…there she was, her blossoming breasts uncovered for the world to see…that is if the world was Shikamaru; and her golden locks dancing untamed all over her shoulders. She watched his reaction carefully. "What's the matter never seen a girl topless before?" She laughed at her own comment and before Shikamaru could think of something clever to say back to her, a large wave hit at exactly the wrong time….or the right time depending on how one would look at this situation. Temari was knocked over into Shikamaru and he fell backwards with her now in his arms.

"Well, that was a little…" Temari couldn't finish her sentence. Shikamaru had pulled her lips against his. She was now caught up in a kiss with the Konoha ambassador. She hadn't expected it, but she didn't fight it either. She could feel his hands on her back, touching her all over, she could also feel the salty water cascade around them both. Shikamaru's shorts were now soaked with sea water. Without warning she sneaked her tongue inside his mouth, she had secretly always wanted to do that. The truth was, Temari had a thing for him, spite the fact that he was younger than her…and spite the fact that other factors had been standing in her way. But she didn't care about any of them anymore.

Shikamaru traded her places, now she was underneath him, her sarong was now pushed up around her waist, but it added to the fact that this situation was growing increasingly steamier by the moment. She slid her hands down his back as she felt Shikamaru kissing her neck and working his way down her chest. He then kissed her again, harder this time and she responded exactly how he wanted her too….her hands were trying unsuccessfully to get inside his pants. Finally, Shikamaru pulled his lips away from hers before she had any success. They both had small beads of water all over them from the pounding waves. Shikamaru was breathless and a little overwhelmed.

"Temari…" He panted. "As much as I want to have my way with you right now…I can't."

"Why?" she was just as breathless as he was.

"Because…we have something in our way…" he said staring at her with lust filled eyes.

"No Shikamaru…I believe it's in your way….not mine." Temari said licking his neck. Shikamaru thought hard for a moment, he was a genius wasn't he?

"You're right." His voice was soft.

"Oh baby….I know I'm right." She kissed him again; it was very consensual on his part. "So…fuck me now….and break up with Ino when you go back to Konoha…"

It didn't take much convincing…
