Experience

With Sasuke, Sakura had a boatload of experiences.

He taught her how to be herself. He taught her how to live. He taught her how to love.

Sasuke had taught her so many things that she couldn't even count. He let her express her emotions freely without being afraid of what others would say. He got angry at her when she didn't tell him what was bothering her. He made her laugh when he attempted to try and be funny through his seriousness.

All those things made her love Sasuke even more, and with him, she had the best experiences she could ever imagine.

Including her first.

They had been dating for over eight months now. Hand in hand, their fingers intertwined, the couple walked down the busy streets of Konoha and made small talk while Sakura let a small giggle escape occasionally.

Then, out of the blue, he stopped walking and pulled her abruptly into his arms, looking into her eyes and breathed heavily.

"You're beautiful," he said before he kissed her right there, in the middle of the street. Sakura felt all eyes watching her, but she didn't care. She kissed him back roughly, clinging onto his hair as if he would somehow disappear from her grasp.

His lips moved down to her neck, sucking the small bit of skin where he felt her heart beat. She couldn't hold back her moan as she threw back her head and gave him more access to her neck.

Sasuke bit part of her skin and she squeaked, knowing there would be a hickey appearing sometime later that night.

"Hey! Hey! Break it off!" one of the shop owners said, pushing the two lovebirds away from each other. "This is a public place! Get a room!"

Sakura blushed heavily, embarrassed by the whole thing. Sasuke, on the other hand, shrugged. He took Sakura's hand again and they continued to walk as if nothing had gone wrong.

"Do you want to get an ice cream?" he asked, pulling out his wallet.

"You don't like ice cream," she said, raising her eyebrows. He smirked, leaning over to kiss her cheek.

"That's why I asked if you wanted to get one."

Sakura thought about it for a moment. "Yeah. I do." She reached for some spare change in her pocket before she felt Sasuke's hand grip her wrist.

"No." He waved his wallet in his hand. "I got it."

Sakura knew that arguing would be futile. "Thank you," she said, squeezing his hand.

He responded with a "Strawberry or vanilla?"

For some reason, their feet took them in front of a love hotel. Sakura felt clammy and nervous, knowing what might happen when a couple like them with such passion reached a place like this.

"Are you tired?" Sasuke asked. "We can either sleep here or take a taxi back to your apartment."

Sakura noticed how he emphasized the word sleep more than usual.

"I—I don't know," she said awkwardly. Sasuke noticed the fear in her voice and put a hand on her back.

"Let's take a taxi, then." He raised his arm to wave one over, before Sakura stopped him and put his arm back down.

"No! Don't!" she said. "I…" she looked back up at the shining neon lights of the hotel. "I want to go here. With you."

She said the last part so softly he wasn't sure if he heard her right.

"You want to come here?"

"…Yes."

Sasuke kissed her softly before leading her into the lobby, which was pinky and frilly and set the tone for a romantic setting for girls like her.

"The best room you've got," she heard Sasuke say as she closed her eyes, trying to block out the response of the price.

He simply took out his wallet and handed the receptionist a wad of cash.

"Have a good evening, sir," he bowed before showing him the way to the elevator.

"Wow," Sakura said. "It's so…I don't even know." The room was different unlike the lobby's pink hearts and doilies. This one was classier and made it feel more erotic with satin red sheets, a fireplace, and bouquets of red roses strewn everywhere. She felt warm and tingly in here, not just by the fire.

Sasuke put his arms around her, his head resting on her shoulder. "Do you like it?" he asked.

"It's beautiful."

He turned her around so that she faced him. With one hand, he stroked her hair.

"You're beautiful."

Then, all of a sudden, she found herself lying back on the bed while Sasuke was on top of her. Her hair was in all different places and she started to breathe heavily, not knowing what was happening.

"Do you want to do this?" he asked, his hand on the hem of her shirt. "I don't want to go too far unless you're uncomfortable."

"I mean, you bought this room, and it's…"

"I don't give a fuck about the room," he growled. "It's you I care about."

Sakura knew that she would lose her virginity someday. But she understood that she wanted it to be with Sasuke. She knew Sasuke so well, and he made her feel loved and beautiful and everything she always wanted someone to treat her.

"I love you," she said, cupping his cheek. "And I want this."

"Sakura…"

She brought him down so that his lips were on hers, and soon, their clothes came off, being strewn all over the floor and the far sides of the room. Hands were on each other's skins, feeling them, licking them, and kissing them. Sasuke reached for a package that was so conveniently placed near the bed and put it on. He felt Sakura stiffen under him.

"It's not too late to stop," he said. "Because once we do this…" he sighed. "I don't know if I'll be able to force myself to stop."

"I'm sure," she said softly. "I love you."

There was no need for words for his response. It was all in his eyes. He kissed her back with such gentleness she didn't even feel pain as he entered her for the first time.

They moved together as one, acted like one, breathed as one.

And when he finally spilled himself into her, collapsing onto her chest, she kissed his forehead and knew that there was no one else she wanted to share her experiences with other than him.

"Thank you," she said, a while after.

"For what?" he asked breathlessly.

"Everything."

Slight changes!
