Chapter Fifteen-

Getting Intimate

This morning was so refreshing after the arguments with Itachi, Naruto and then even Sakura. She was really pushing it with almost flashing me and then attacking me. Again. I vowed to go through with it soon, I'd make her mine. It was obvious we couldn't hold ourselves back any longer and I was way past my limits. It was hilarious that she burned the sausage, but not that she could have burned her apartment down.

Breakfast take two was great, though I hoped she wouldn't ban me from the kitchen. I was only taste testing. It was inevitable she'd bring up the problem at hand. I would do as I said and try to talk to Itachi. I wanted her there for support, but it was hard for me to admit it. I wanted her to see me as someone reliable and strong, not needy and weak.

After we ate, I drove us to my house, checking my phone before I went in.

Naruto and I have reached an agreement. I need to talk to you. Come home. - Aniki

I frowned and checked the time, it was sent this morning. Certainly they weren't up all night? Sakura and I got out of the car and went inside. Luna attacked me like she always did and I gave her some extra attention. Then Naruto came around the corner in green pajamas, rubbing the back of his neck. He must have spent the night.

"Hey . . . " He greeted, not sure if I was still upset with him.

I looked at him but kept my expression neutral. I wasn't really angry anymore. To be honest, I wasn't sure what expression to show. For the first time in while it was genuinely awkward between us.

"Hey, Sakura." He said when it was clear I wouldn't answer.

"Hey, Naruto... Nice pajamas." She said, trying to lighten the mood.

"Ehehehe, thanks." He laughed, but it lacked its usual cheer.

"Where's Itachi?" I asked.

"In the study." He told me and I started to head towards it, passing him.

"Sasuke?" He called and I stopped, meeting his gaze. "I'm here for you."

I gave him a small smile and he grinned.

"I know." I told him.

Luna followed as Naruto and Sakura went into the living room. I was glad they were here even if they wouldn't be in the room with Itachi and I. It was comforting knowing I had their support for this, they would be there whenever I needed them to be. Even when I didn't, I had a feeling they would still be there.

I walked into his study and found him sitting behind the desk, looking over more paperwork. If he's actually doing his paperwork in here, this must be some conversation we're going to have. Itachi looked up when I came in and motioned for me to sit in the chair opposite to the desk. I took a deep breath and collected myself. I would tell him I wanted to race again, but I wouldn't be able to take it if he looked the least bit anguished.

"Sasuke . . ." He began as I sat down. "I'm sorry."

For a moment I just stared at him with wide eyes, stunned. I rarely apologize, but Itachi, I have never heard him speak those words. He smiled sadly at my shocked expression and continued.

"Naruto and I discussed everything after you left. I realize now what I did was wrong. No, I knew I was wrong the moment I forced you to make that promise. I took advantage of your morals and guilted you into promising me not to race anymore. It was a very selfish thing for me to do."

Itachi got up then and came around the desk, placing his hand on my shoulder.

"I made the decision for you, as if you were still a child. I should have trusted you more and had faith in the little brother I've watched grow all these years. I failed to realize you don't need my protection anymore. Can you forgive your big brother for what he's done?"

He looked so pained, so ashamed. I hated seeing my proud, strong brother reduced to this. Tears welled up in my eyes and I stood, grabbing him into a hug. He hugged me back as I willed the tears not to fall.

"Stupid aniki. Of course I forgive you. I'll always need you to be here for me." I said and fought to keep my voice steady. I've never resented him for asking me to make that promise. How could I?

We held each other for a long while before he spoke again.

"Tell me, Sasuke. Do you want to race again?"

" . . . yes."

"Then I release you from your promise."

I pulled back to see him smiling, no regret or sadness in his features. He was truly happy for me.

"Thank you." I smiled back. I couldn't believe this was actually happening. He really wanted to let me race again.

"No, thank you, Sasuke." He said and then flicked me in the forehead.

We both laughed and I lightly shoved his chest. Honestly, he gets me every time. My heart was overflowing with so many emotions, but for the most part I was happy. Completely and utterly happy. Is this what Naruto and Sakura had meant?

"Must you always do that?" I groaned, less irritated than usual.

His expression softened and his smile remained. "Always."

When we both regained our composure, we went into the living room. Luna was settled on Sakura's lap while Naruto sat next to them on the couch. I shook my head at the fact Sakura still seemed to be stealing my dog until I noticed what they were looking at. I dashed over to them and snatched my baby book out of Naruto's hands.

"What do you think you're doing?" I hissed and glared at the blond.

"Hey! I want to see that, Sasuke!" Sakura pouted, though she was glaring at me meaningfully. "Hand it over. Or, you could sit with me and show me yourself."

Naruto laughed and Itachi hid his own chuckle with a cough. Really, can't I even get some back up in my own house? Why does everyone have to be against me these days?

"I'd rather not." I said and considered making an escape, but Itachi was right behind me.

"Come on, don't be ridiculous. I'll show you mine whenever you want... And that's really embarrassing." She offered.

See her baby pictures? Interesting. Was it worth it? I thought for a few minutes before handing over the picture book.

"Deal."

She smiled brightly at me and patted the open spot on the couch next to her, waiting for me to sit before she opened the book.

"Better do as she says, little brother." Itachi said. "I'll make everyone a snack."

Sure you will, leave me to explain all the ridiculous outfits you had put me in against my will. Stupid aniki. I sighed and sat beside her, Luna placing her paw on my knee in support. At least I have one person in my corner.

"This is gonna be good!" Naruto said as he leaned over my shoulder to see.

"Tsk. Let's just get this over with." I grumbled and the torture began.

….

Later that day, Sakura and I decided to take Luna to the park and enjoy a picnic. Itachi had helped Sakura pack a basket with food for us and dog treats for Luna. It was only fair she had her own goodies in the basket. I spent some time throwing ball with Luna while Sakura set up our picnic area. Once she was finished, I came over to her, Luna still running around and looking for other dogs to play with.

"Today has worn me out already." I said as I laid down, resting my head on Sakura's lap. She was now dressed in jeans, after I convinced her to change out of that thin sundress she had on this morning.

"It has been a long day... Considering it's just after two." She laughed, her soft hand coming to play in my hair. I sighed at the touch and closed my eyes.

"Thank you. For everything." I told her offhandedly. She had been a big help these past few days as I struggled to handle my problems.

"You can be really sweet when you want to be." She mused before leaning down to press a soft kiss to my forehead. "But then there are times like this morning when you just torment me..."

I smirked at the memory, but kept my eyes shut. "I regret nothing."

"I can tell... Meany."

I chuckled and looked at her green emeralds. "Don't pretend you didn't enjoy it. It's a shame we were interrupted by the almost fire."

She blushed at that. "Don't remind me."

I reached a hand up and gently brushed her cheek.

"Why ever not? I certainly enjoyed it." I teased.

"Because..." She trailed off, still blushing though her face rested against my touch. "I can't believe all that even happened."

"I'm glad it did." I told her seriously. "I think we're ready to take that step. I want to make you mine."

Sakura blanched, surprised by my honesty. "I can't believe you could say that so easily... But... You already know I agree."

I sat up and gave her a sweet kiss. Then I laid back down on her lap and closed my eyes again. I really cared for this amazing woman, always so honest.

"I'm very fond of you, Miss. Haruno." I said.

"And I, you... Mr. Uchiha." I could hear in her voice that she was smiling and she was happy. Her hands continued to play in my hair and across my face until she stiffened. "No... No wait! Luna!"

I opened my eyes just in time to Luna jump right on top of my chest, licking my face like no tomorrow.

"Woah, hey, calm down!" I laughed.

She went to lick Sakura next and almost knocked her over. Luna's been really excitable lately and I couldn't help but think it was because of Sakura. I was certain then that she was trying to steal my black husky.

"Silly girl." Sakura giggled as her hands left me to go to Luna instead. At least until she laid down to rest, tired from all her running.

We took that as a cue to start eating and Sakura began pulling out the food. It was a nice day, the weather was warm with some occasional breezes. We talked about her work and how everything was going. She and Hinata seemed to usually work together and get stuck with a lot of paperwork. It was refreshing to hear about the hospital and focus on something other than myself. I was glad not to be the center of attention, especially after what we just went through.

I got to sit back and listen to her gentle voice. She was as expressive as ever, her features lighting up when she talked about her patients. Then it would dim when she spoke about the time they were short staffed. She would be modest about her skill level, but I had a feeling she was one of the best. Sakura put her all into whatever she did and was always considerate of other people. She was one of the few people in this world that genuinely cared about helping others without personal gain.

When we were finished eating, I had gotten an unexpected text from Naruto asking about a double date. Seriously, did he ever stop? For as long as I can remember, he's been go, go, go.

"Is something wrong?" Sakura asked and I looked up from my phone.

"Not exactly." I sighed. "I think Naruto wants some bonding time to make it up to me. He asked if we'd like to go on a double date with him and Hinata."

"Oh really? What kind of date?" Sakura asked, seeming genuinely interested.

"Some kind of a trip, but he didn't say what. My guess is he hasn't thought it through that far." I explained and suddenly an idea formed in my head. "Actually, I might have an idea."

"Oh? Well let's hear it."

"We could all go to my family's cabin, it's about a three-hour drive away. We'd be next to the lake." I suggested.

"Three hours away... Cabin on the lake? Count me in!" She exclaimed.

I smiled softly at her and nodded. "I'll text the dope and set a date."

"Sounds good to me." Sakura told me happily.

After we had collected our things and settled the details with Naruto, the three of us headed back to my house. Naruto had gone home and Itachi had probably went somewhere with Kakashi. It had been a few hours since we left. Luna went off to wander around the house while I offered to show Sakura our library. I should've thought to show her sooner, knowing books were her passion. She followed me into the sunlit room and stood in shock for a moment.

"Are you alright?" I mused.

"This is... amazing... I can't believe you have so many books!"

Sakura looked around, eyes sparkling with excitement. "Do you mind?" She asked as she inched towards the closest bookshelf, fingers already reaching out, for she knew I wouldn't deny her.

"Help yourself." I told her and sat down in the armchair.

Sakura skimmed through shelf after shelf, fingers running across the books on her way. Show her a book and she was distracted enough, putting her in a room full of them may have been a mistake. But it was still nice to watch her being so enthused about something. We'd been in the room for a good half an hour before she pulled out a book with a squeal.

"Sasuke! The local libraries don't even have this book. Please, please can I borrow it?"

"Hmmm." I said, pretending to think it over. "I suppose so."

She hugged the book to her chest, lips splitting in a grin. "Thank you so much! I'll read it quickly and have it back in perfect condition before you know it."

"Don't get ahead of yourself, I never said you could borrow it for free." I pointed out, my stoic expression in place.

Her face fell then and her excitement drained away. "Oh well... I don't mind paying a fee. Or I could read it right now and not take it home at all."

I stood and lightly tugged on a pink stray hair. She could be so dense sometimes.

"Not that kind of fee. You can take it home as long as you give me a kiss in return." I told her.

"Ah... oh..." She blushed, green eyes avoiding mine shyly.

I closed my black eyes and leaned down a bit, patiently waiting. I wasn't taking no for an answer. A shaky breath escaped her before her arms were wrapped around my neck, her lips pressing against mine. Even as our mouths opened together, I couldn't help thinking about the book still in her hand behind my neck.

I pulled her by the small of her back, bringing her closer and used my height to deepen the kiss. She squealed and my tongue dove inside between her lips to taste that sweet mouth. Then I turned and picked her up forcing her against the bookshelf. Her legs wrapped around my waist and she had to let go of the book to cling tighter to my neck, ensuring she wouldn't slip. I heard it hit the floor behind me as I teasingly nibbled her tongue. Would I ever be able to get enough of her?

I pulled away slightly and she panted as our lips just barely brushed together. She couldn't get enough of me either and that much was certain as her teeth took my bottom lip and pulled gently. I felt that pull in my groin, even more so when her hips moved against me.

"Sasuke." She breathed my name breathlessly before tilting her head and kissing me harder. With her tongue teasing mine and her body pressed flush against me, it was all I could do not to take her here and now.

Especially when it seemed like she wanted nothing less.

One hand went into my hair, grabbing and tugging until our lips were parted once more. Her chest was heaving as she gasped for air, making the feel of her breasts against me even more prominent. When her head dipped down and she pressed a kiss to my neck though, I felt all control slipping away. A grunt escaped me against my will, but she responded strongly to it by suckling on the skin above my racing pulse.

"Sakura." I warned, no pleaded . . . if she didn't stop me now, there would be no going back.

"Shut up and kiss me." She demanded and a shiver ran up my spine.

"I'll do more than just kiss you." I assured, my voice dropping a few octaves.

I stepped back from the wall and readjusted my grip, one hand supporting her weight as the other opened the library door. I carried her to my room and laid her on the bed. My body covered hers in one swift motion and reclaimed those lips. She moaned as my hands found her breasts, firmly caressing the supple mounds. How many times have we been in this position, only to be stopped each and every occurrence? Not this time, I won't be able to handle it.

She started to clutch my shirt at my touch and I decided to get rid of the damn thing. I pulled back and yanked it off in one motion. Then I reached for the hem of Sakura's shirt and met her heated gaze, silently asking permission. She gave me a slow nod and raised her arms to make it easier. I took off her shirt to reveal her light blue bra, thin enough to see her nipples hard underneath it. My arousal flared at the sight and instantly I felt my pants were way too tight.

I lightly touched her stomach, bringing goosebumps to her skin. Her hands gripped my forearms as I brought them higher to touch the light blue fabric. My charcoal eyes followed my fingers as they moved to the sides, under her small body to undo the strap. I removed the bra and let it fall to the floor, my focus entirely on the woman before me. I wanted to take more time to admire her, but she tugged my arms to bring me down to her, impatient. I may not have been in any better condition, but I intended to treasure every second.

My head lowered to her breasts and she fisted my black hair, panting. I took hold of her chest once more, the heat of her skin smoldering. I took a nipple into my mouth and began to suck the hot flesh. Sakura moaned again and linked her ankles across my lower back. Her breaths came out in huffs as I continued to massage her, deciding to alternate between licking and sucking. The sounds I was pulling out of her really made me want to get out of these tight ass pants, but I wasn't done teasing her yet, getting my fill of her before I really let loose.

Her body wiggled beneath me, obviously struggling with the need building within her. With her face flushed, eyes clouded with lust and lips slightly parted, she looked like a wet dream, but this wet dream was my reality. Finally, I would make her mine once and for all. Only I could have this intimacy with her. No other man would ever have the opportunity.

I took my time admiring her like she was, for it was like seeing her in an entire new light. I was hard as fuck and dying to be buried deep inside her, but I had to savor this, I had to make sure her body was ready, and I was sure she understood, even if she was impatient.

The way her hips rolled as she continued to pull on me, wanting me closer, was enough to have me nearing insanity. But I would continue to tease her, to give her the foreplay she so needed even if she felt at her limits.

I held my weight with one hand on the bed while I used my other to tease one perked nipple, watching her carefully as her eyes closed and she moaned, back arching and breast pushing up against my hand and begging to be fondled. There were so many things I wanted to do to her. After teasing her other nipple momentarily, I let my hand roam down her flat stomach, taking in her flawless pale skin and how she couldn't lay still.

My hand splayed out across her abdomen and I sucked in a slow breath at how tiny she actually was. I was so much bigger than her. Being aroused as I was, I couldn't stick to one particular spot for long. My index finger played along the top of her jeans, my eyes now where my hand was. Her legs parted, moving from around my back to rest on the bed and I leaned up as I freed the button and slowly pulled the zipper down.

I swallowed hard, unable to believe it was actually happening this time. We were all alone… nothing was cooking. There was nothing to stop us and we sure as hell weren't going to stop each other. I glanced up to her face to make sure she appeared comfortable with going this far, and she'd never looked so good.

Pushing her legs together, I made quick work of removing her pants along with her help. Her breathing had quickened even more then, but I didn't spread her legs again as I so wanted to. No, that could wait until I had her completely naked.

I left her like that as I stood to strip out of my pants and shoes, leaving my boxers in place as my last form of restraint. Savor, Sasuke, savor. While I would in fact savor this for a lifetime, my patience was wearing thin, especially when Sakura's eyes went straight below my waistline. The boxers certainly didn't leave much to the imagination. Those emeralds widened and she blushed all over. It was very pleasing to absorb.

I got back on the bed and positioned myself back between her legs, taking note of the familiar black thong she wore since I had taken her pink panties hostage this morning. I couldn't help the smirk that formed at the memory.

"You look great in pink, but I can't help but favor black." I said, her blush deepening.

"Take them off..." She whispered.

I ran my hands up her thighs and grabbed the thin fabric. She didn't have to tell me twice. I slowly pulled them down and admired her most private vicinity. A growl rumbled in my chest as I saw how wet she was, how ready, how desperate. Her entire body shivered at the sound. That was it, I couldn't stand it anymore. It wasn't like me to give in so easily, but I wanted her, god I wanted her. I removed my boxers and freed my aching cock, moving to lay our naked bodies together.

"Sakura." I groaned in her ear, nipping the lobe.

"Mm." Sakura fought to keep quiet against her raging desires, but every touch I graced her with made it that much harder for her. "Sa-suke… please." She squirmed.

When I grinded my hips down and my length pressed against her soaked heat she gasped, her entire body coiling. I moved my left hand down between us, my fingers grazing across her slick sex and slipping between her folds with such ease that I could only mouth my approval.

I'd never felt anything so warm and so wet. Just as my fingers touched her, she bucked beneath me, forcing my hand away from her most sensitive area.

"Relax." I murmured softly as I brought my hand back to that drenched cavern of warmth. I used the slightest bit of pressure to touch her, but she responded intensely, moaning loudly and recoiling from my touch.

"I- I can't… It's too much." She panted, her entire body trembling. There were tears in her eyes and for the briefest of moments, I wasn't sure how to proceed.

"You can… I know it's intense and difficult to tolerate, but I'll relieve you soon enough. Have faith in me, love."

Sakura nodded at me trustingly, understanding. I knew it was hard, because I was suffering first hand myself. I knew that she was far more sensitive than me though. My fingers slipped down to her entrance and circled it slowly, earning yet another loud and sexy as hell moan out of her. A curse escaped me under my breath as I forced my finger inside her. She was so tight it was mind-boggling, that she could squeeze my finger alone in such a way.

She would be able to take me, I knew she would… but that didn't mean it wouldn't be difficult for her. I moved my finger inside her, in and out, around and around, stretching her as best as I could. The only progress I felt I was making was getting her closer to her impending orgasm. It wouldn't take much to send her over the edge, and I was selfish enough to want her to wait as long as she could.

The more my hand worked with her, the more at ease she seemed to become with her need. In no time at all her hips were rolling seductively, moving against my hand while she grew louder and louder. I was high as fuck on this moment.

"Sakura… I can't wait any longer." I admitted, heart pounding as I removed my hand and gaped at her arousal dripping off my fingers. "You're ready." I told her, because I knew damn well she couldn't be any more ready than she already was.

"I am." She agreed, pulling me down to her before I could come myself.

Our lips met in feverish passion, and I eagerly positioned my length against her entrance. Just the feel of her against me was sensational, but I couldn't stop there. My fingers dug into her hair as I entered her slowly, having to break away from her lips as I fought to suck in a breath at the astonishing feel of moving within her.

She wailed loudly, all incoherent sounds that only fueled me further. I didn't stop, though I had to move slowly, starting with shallow thrusts, but with each movement she was able to take more of me. The barrier inside her was keeping me at bay, as if her body wanted to hold onto her virginity much longer than she did. Whatever control I did have had slipped away. I knew it would probably hurt her either way, but I assumed it best to do it quickly and get it over with. She clung to me, nails scraping across my back just as I swiftly entered her completely and she screamed.

"Fuck! Sakura…" I sucked in a sharp breath before silencing her screams with a kiss. She was so dazed she couldn't kiss me back as she usually would, but she calmed soon enough as I stilled to give us both a moment.

Never in my life had I felt something so intense, so fulfilling, so breathtaking. I never wanted it to end. But, I had to move. Sakura whimpered against my kisses as I started moving slowly. I could have come immediately, it felt that good… but, I would not leave my girl hanging.

My fingers found her clit as I moved and she was wailing again and clawing at my back. I couldn't keep my movements slow with her reacting in such a way, so my thrusts were deeper, faster and I wouldn't have dreamed of pulling my hand away.

Her screams turned into soundless grunts as her body coiled just before she snapped. A string of curses escaped me as she came viciously, her sex fluttering and tightening around my aching cock. I came right after her, not needing even another movement. I sheathed my cock deep inside her as my seed filled her. Both our climaxes were intense and mind blowing.

I could only collapse on top of her while we both struggled to catch our breaths, drunk with sensation. I'd brought myself to climax numerous times, but nothing could come close to this. After a moment I leaned up to glance over her. She was a whimpering and trembling mess, tears falling from her eyes. I leaned down, kissing them away as I enjoyed the way her body shook against me.

She was such a turn on that I could have gone again, but there was no way in hell I was putting her through that.

"Are you alright, love?" I asked her softly.

"Mm . . . . . Never been better." She told me breathlessly.

I gave her a smile and one last loving kiss before her green eyes drifted closed. I carefully pulled out of her and cleaned both of us. I gently dressed her limp body in one of my black t-shirts, covering her with my warm blanket. My chest fluttered as I watched her sleeping form, filled with so much love for her. Love . . . . I loved this woman. There was no doubt in my mind that Sakura was it for me. She was the one I could trust my heart with and I give it to her gladly.

I put on some gray sweat pants and quietly made my way to the kitchen. We finally did it. Sakura and I gave our virginities to each other and it was fucking amazing. The way her body felt against mine, the pure emotion that emitted from her emeralds, it was way more than I expected. I knew from the moment I met her that she was truly something else.

I grabbed a glass from the cabinet and turned on the sink to get some water. Someone cleared their throat behind me and I jumped, almost dropping my glass. There was only one person who could sneak up on me . . . . .

I turned around to see Itachi leaning against the doorframe, one eyebrow raised. My face was beet red and I stood there like a child caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Fuck my life, how long had he been here? Don't tell me he . . . oh shit, did he hear? Sakura was pretty loud . . .

"W-when did you get home?" I asked, cursing myself for stuttering.

His expression was guarded as he eyed me for a moment, my embarrassment deepening by the second. I couldn't figure him out. He wasn't stupid, I knew he knew what I had been doing. Rather, who I had been doing. If that was all I wouldn't be mortified, but if he was actually here while I was, while we were. . . talk about humiliating.

"Sasuke." He finally said, the Uchiha mask still in place.

"Yes?"

"Put on a shirt, you'll catch cold." He told me. I stared at him and blinked. What? Was that it? That's all he had to say on matter? Though he did ignore my question.

"A shirt?" I repeated. Something was telling me this was wrong, he should be acting more . . . Itachi like.

"Yes, a shirt." He answered with a straight face. "I understand you've been exposed to some rather loud sounds recently, but surely your hearing isn't impaired."

My eyes widened as I gaped at him, blush coming back full force. At long last, he showed that smirk he was holding back. I knew it, I fucking knew it!

"You-I-"

"No, it's alright. You don't have to explain yourself to me, little brother, I understand. You may be young, but certain sounds in certain pitches made by a certain someone can be quite deafening. Was that glass of water for you?" He asked, now feigning innocence.

I wisely chose to remain silent, glaring a hole into his smug face. I take back every nice thing I may have said about him in my lapse of judgement. He will forever be nothing more than my stupid older brother.
