He was an aggressive lover, not that Sakura had any issues with that. In the field he was a cold and calculating assassin, not afraid spilling blood or killing. In the home he was docile - he was kind spirited and peaceful. He was a pacifist by nature and loved those around him greatly..
But in the bed, he was carnal - nothing but primal instincts driving him forward as he picked her up and pinned her against the wall, his mouth taking hers and his hands searing her skin with their warmth.
She had loved him for a long time now. They'd been put on the same team more than enough times to know each other's in and outs - she was his team medic and had see them all through the good, bad, and ugly.
And he, as her captain, had seen her in disarray and in days like today. Today had been Naruto's wedding to the Hyuuga princess, and Sakura had agreed to be a bridesmaid. She looked so beautiful and radiant in that petal soft dress with her hair pinned up and soft eyes watching the loving couple.
He had never told her explicitly how he felt. They had shared a bed a few times already, in the sexual sense it was only two or three times whereas for survival means it was countless.
The first time was when they had gotten back and she found out her mother was dying. He found her on the training fields letting out emotion he had never seen. He wanted to communicate with her.. but it ended up with them tearing each other's clothing off.
The second time was when they'd had a rather nasty argument, she had disobeyed his orders and almost jeopardized a mission for a civilian who was pregnant. They argued amongst themselves when they got back argued. One thing led to another and as argued and as a show of dominance, Itachi had pressed her against a tree..Sakura was not one to be manhandled and showed him exactly what she felt..
This time, however, was different. They were in her home and he had finally told her he loved her. Sakura hadn't responded because she didn't know how. So one kiss turned into several and next thing she knows she plastered against a wall with Itachi attacking her neck with his wet, hot mouth.
A knock at the door annoyed both of them as they stared holes into it.
"Guys, can whatever you're doing wait? Yamato and Kakashi are about to crash and I'm not bringing them to the compound." Called an irritated Sasuke.
Both Itachi and Sakura traded glances. They hadn't exactly been secretive about things but they were glad Sasuke wasn't making it weird.
Itachi looked at Sakura, his eyes taking her in as they swirled red.
"I love you too.." She finally said, her emerald eyes bright like the jewels they were.
