"Here is your hot tea." Matsuri announced miserably, stomping into Gaara's office.

"Thank you, Matsuri, you can leave now." He nodded after taking the two cups. Matsuri held her breath and left. Ino felt a twinge of guilt. Matsuri didn't seem to like her much anymore.

"Welp, you know the drill!" Ino commanded, planting her hands on her hips. Gaara looked up at her with his aqua eyes and kept her gaze before pulling off his shirt. He had grown more comfortable with her – it was inevitable with her kind of spunk sparking at him constantly. She walked over to him and rested her palms against his shoulders, "You're still tense!" She chided, squeezing a bit. Gaara instantly released the pressure in his shoulders when she did so, indicating her to continue. For a moment she hesitated, but then decided to proceed. "I guess you're getting a massage!" Ino laughed, "I apologize in advance! I'm a rookie in this area." She warned, but her fingers were like ecstasy against Gaara's skin.

"Mmm…" Gaara couldn't help the sound that escaped his lips as she rubbed his shoulders, neck, and back thoroughly.

"You like that?" Ino asked softly, making Gaara's heart skip a beat. He closed his eyes, trying to get a hold of himself as he agreed. Why was he feeling this way? Why was he thinking about…sexual things? He had never been that type of guy, so what was it now? Was it the way she dressed? The situation? But she was just a doctor?

She walked over in front of him and he opened his eyes as she bent forward. He couldn't help but drop his gaze to her exposed cleavage. She didn't appear to notice as she reached forward and started massaging his collarbones. Gaara bit his lip furiously, feeling his face get hot from how close she was. He couldn't help it.

Stricken by the heat and intensity of the moment, he reached his arm forward and snaked it around her bare waist, making her gasp and stop rubbing him. Still blushing, he pulled her in closer until he was only a breath away. He dug his other hand into the back of her head, between her hair, grasping it tightly so that he could pull her lips into his.

Ino's eyes were still open, wide open in disbelief at what was happening. She was kissing – kissing Gaara! His lips tasted like metal at first, awkward and almost robotic, but as soon as Ino closed her eyes and sunk into the kiss, everything melted. Their lips caressed passionately and slowly, their heads tilting in rhythm. Ino slipped her tongue inside his mouth, intertwining it with his. He felt her taking control, so he challenged her wrestling his tongue with hers and tightening the grip on her hair and grazing his nails on her smooth waist. Ino giggled at the response and poured her own hands into his hair, running her fingers through it as she confidently decided to sit on him.

As soon as she straddled him, she could feel something hard poke at her from the inside of his pants. "Oh, Kazekagame-sama," Ino giggled, teasing him, biting his lower lip, "You're getting tense again."

"Maybe I need stronger medicine." Gaara growled, roughly pressing her body into his so that her chest was against his face. He groaned deeply, reaching up to squeeze her breasts.

Just then, someone knocked on the door, startling them. Ino quickly tried to get off but Gaara held her in place.

"Who is it?" Gaara called, seeming frustrated.

"Shikamaru." Ino gasped when she heard his voice and struggled to get off but Gaara strengthened his grip on her even more. The door swung open and Shikamaru stood there, his eyes widening at the sight.

"Did I say to come in?" Gaara bellowed, finally allowing Ino to get up. She started trembling and began to take a step forward but Gaara motioned her to the seat, "Wait there," He whispered without looking down at her. He walked over to Shikamaru who seemed to have frozen in place.

"What's going on?" Shikamaru finally asked. His eyes darting from a shirtless Gaara to a messy-haired Ino and back. "What the fuck is this?"

"Excuse me?" Both of their faces were red. Both of their veins were starting to pop from their arms as they both clenched their fists.
