Sasuke follows Sakura into his house. Standing behind her, he wraps his arms around her stomach and lowers his head to the side of her face. "We're finally alone," he says throatily. It sends a hot shiver down Sakura's body. She leans her head back onto his shoulder and stretches her right arm around his neck.

Sasuke slides his hand up beneath Sakura's shirt to manipulate her breasts. He purrs into her ear. Sakura's respiration grows quicker and shallower.

Then Sasuke pulls back to strip the shirt off entirely, quickly removing Sakura's bra as well. He closes in on her body again and fondles her bare breasts, making sure her nipples don't get lonely. Sakura's temperature shoots up.

Sasuke presses firmly into Sakura's backside, his erect sex organ jabbing into her. He starts kissing her neck as he grabs hold of her skirt and jerks it down. Sakura starts panting like an overheated wolf.

Sasuke separates from Sakura's body long enough to strip off his pants, then holds her close again. She starts to turn around, but Sasuke places both his hands on her arms to still her.

"I think you'll like it this way," he rumbles in her ear.

"S-Sasuke…" fumbles Sakura, her voice dripping with desire.

Then Sasuke rips down Sakura's panties, making her cry out. He slips off his own underwear and presses his stiffness against her bottom. She calls out his name.

Then Sasuke uses one of his hands between Sakura's thighs while the other plays with her breasts. Sakura feels like her legs are turning into gelatin.

"S-S-Sasuke," a breathless Sakura starts, "I—I want—I want to touch you."

"Next time," he whispers roughly, his voice deep with lust. It spreads electricity through Sakura's body.

Once again, Sasuke sweeps Sakura off her feet. He carries her to his bed. Sakura finally gets to look into Sasuke's face as he moves her. She strokes his hair and face lovingly as she peers into his hooded eyes.

Once at the bed, Sasuke gently flip-drops Sakura onto it, on her stomach. Sakura turns her head to the side to breathe. Sasuke then climbs onto her back, resting his head in the crook of her neck. "Get up, Sakura," he demands wantonly.

Catching on, Sakura gets up on all fours. Sasuke wraps an arm around her middle and comments in a thick voice, "Yeah. Just like that."

His dictatorial attitude and sexy voice turn Sakura on. He is the only man who could even get away with telling her what to do, much less make her like it.

Not being able to see or touch Sasuke makes Sakura anxious with anticipation. She feels like she's tied up and blindfolded, unable to see the next move coming or make one of her own. It's an unexpected thrill.

Sasuke rubs Sakura's bare behind with one hand and gropes her breasts with the other. He groans, "You have a perfect ass. And exceptional boobs, too."

Sakura smiles, glad that Sasuke approves.

Then, without warning, Sasuke bursts through Sakura's gates and she shouts his name. "Sasssukeee!"

"Oh, God, Sakura…"

Sasuke stimulates Sakura's sensitive spot between her legs as he drives in and out of her from behind, breathing heavily and rumbling with pleasure. Sakura's breathing approaches hyperventilation as she meets Sasuke's thrusts. She's quickly on the threshold. Sasuke starts pumping furiously and increases the pressure and speed he's applying to Sakura's bud.

Momentarily, Sakura shrieks Sasuke's name one more time as she reaches her finale. As the pressure waves squeeze around him, Sasuke howls, following Sakura into release.

Sasuke bends at the waist to stretch his upper body against Sakura's back and wraps his arm around her middle. He flops down sideways onto the bed, taking Sakura with him. Holding her close, their bodies still joined together, Sasuke dots her neck with kisses. "Sakura," he says softly, moving his arm from her belly to rub her arm. "Thank you…for...for loving me. I'm sorry for everything I've put you through."

Sakura wrestles herself free from Sasuke's body to turn and face him, staying very close. She smiles warmly at him and strokes his face. "Don't give it another thought, Sasuke," she replies. "You're here with me now. That's all that matters."

Sasuke returns Sakura's smile. He places his hand over Sakura's on his cheek and squeezes gently. "I think you're beautiful," he whispers, his serious but unusually warm eyes penetrating Sakura's.

Sakura's heart flutters. Sasuke didn't compliment anyone, ever…and this one was a doozy! More importantly, it was just for her. Before she can reply, though, Sasuke captures her lips in a tender kiss.

Then he pulls his face back to ask, "How about a bath? It's no hot spring, but my tub is big enough for both of us, and the water gets pretty hot…"

Sakura thinks how romantic the idea is. Last time, they just took a shower, all business. In the tub, she could hold him close while soaking clean.

"That sounds wonderful," she answers with a smile.
