Chapter 12
A/N: First off I would like to say that I am really sorry it took so long to get this chapter out. Life just kind of happened and then when I finally got down to writing this I had to rewrite the little lime like 7 times before I was okay with it. Oh yeah, there is some steamy bits in this chapter so if that isn't your bad then sorry.
"What are you doing out of bed at this time of night little one?"
Mae almost jumped back she was so surprised to see the Kazekage standing on the windowsill of the bedroom she was in.
"I couldn't sleep."
"Well that much is obvious, what is not is the reason you couldn't sleep." Gaara smirked over as the girl was holding her hands together trying not to look embarrassed at being caught out of bed, but failing miserably.
"I had a nightmare. Sometimes when I have them I wake up and it's hard for me to fall back asleep." Mae was hoping to hide that fact from him but since he now knew she figured she could use it to her advantage. She was suppose to be getting closer to her target after all.
"Well, would you like to talk about this nightmare? It might make you feel better after all." Gaara thought that that perhaps sounded like something a father would say. He wouldn't know since his father was a ruthless bastard who wanted him dead.
"I don't really want to talk about it, but maybe you could sit in here with me until I fall back asleep?" Mae had never really needed to talk about her nightmares anyway since she usually woke to have another day just like the bad dreams.
"Alright, but in order to fall asleep you should probably return to bed, don't you think?" He winked at her and pulled the covers back on his bed that he had given over to her.
After tucking her in, which was extremely awkward for all parties involved, Gaara crossed the room back to the couch and took a seat.
A small knock on the door revealed an anxious looking Sakura. Who crossed the room to sit next to the Kazekage.
"I just wanted to make sure everything is okay. Is Mae alright?" Sakura felt real concern at the thought that something might be wrong with the little girl. Mae might not be related to her, but she was the daughter of the man she loved and she would protect her with her life.
"She is fine. Nightmare." Gaara could see that Sakura was worried about Mae and he felt his heart swell. He couldn't let it get to him though. He might love Sakura, but his life had just become infinitely more complicated than it was yesterday.
"I will just go back to my room then. Goodnight Gaara." With that she slid over and placed a chaste kiss on his cheek.
"Goodnight Mae, sweet dreams." Sakura smiled at the little girl as she turned and left.
"Goodnight miss Haruno." Mae gave a genuine smile at the pink haired woman as she exited the room.
"...Go to sleep Mae." Gaara nearly chuckled as he spoke to his daughter.
"Wow, I am a father. What am I going to do with a child? It's not as if I had the most positive parental role model."
He shifted uncomfortably on the couch at the thought. His own father had hated him from the moment he was born. Not only had his birth been the reason his mother had died, but he had been forced to carry a demon from the moment he took his first breath. Never mind that his Father had been the one responsible for that, Gaara had been hated by the man none the less.
He would do better. He had absolutely no idea how he would accomplish this, but he vowed he would do better by the child than his father had done by him "Not that that would be particularly hard."
Sakura couldn't hide the smile that lit her face. Pushing aside the disappointment at being interrupted she couldn't help but fall more in love with the man the longer she saw him with Mae.
Sakura had never wanted children if she was entirely honest with herself. She was a kunoichi and that life didn't always mix well with motherhood, but seeing Gaara around Mae was bringing to live something deep in her heart that she wasn't even aware of. Something primal that made him down right sexy to her.
Shaking the thought away she went into the bathroom to brush her teeth before bed. Glancing at the mirror she saw that her lips were still a bit swollen from being kissed and that made her ridiculously happy.
Crawling under the covers in her bed she sighed deeply as she drifted off to sleep.
Gaara had her pushed against a wall and was ravaging her lips while his hands worked their way up and down her body. Her breathing was shallow as his fingers danced upon the exposed skin just above her skirt.
He stifled a moan with a kiss as she arched her back so that she could bring her body flush with his own.
Sakura could feel the heat that had started slowly building below her navel head further down to her apex.
Just then she heard a tearing sound and looked down to see that Gaara had ripped open her blouse and bindings. Her breast were bared for him to see and her nipples were proudly at attention without even being touched.
"So beautiful my love" she heard him whisper onto her skin.
She felt his tongue start at the juncture of her neck and he trailed down to circle a nipple.
She cried out his name and heard a deep growl coming from the man before her.
He circled her breast with his tongue once more before putting his mouth over her nipple and tugging.
She whimpered. Slightly embarrassed at the noise that she was making she could feel a heated blush creep up on her skin.
She felt him pull off her skirt and panties and could feel the liquid practically dripping from herself.
Gaara dropped to his knees in front of her. He looked up at her and smirked.
Putting his nose at her most intimate place he smelled her. Breathing in deeply before pulling back.
"Such a sweet smell my blossom, and it's all mine."
She could see him bending back to her and she knew what he was about to do. She shivered in anticipation.
Sakura awoke with a start. He ninja reflexes kicking into gear she had pulled out the kunai hidden under her pillow and was already in attack mode when she heard a soft knock on her door.
Mae stepped in and Sakura felt herself relaxing.
"Miss Haruno, Kazekage has asked that you meet him in the common room as soon as possible."
Sakura smiled at the young girl. "Thank you Mae. I will just hop in the shower really fast and be out in a few minutes."
Mae left without a word and Sakura sank back on the bed with a plop.
She could not believe that she had actually had a wet dream. The last time something like that had happened was when she was much younger, and the man she had dreamed about then was certainly not the brooding Kazekage. Though now that she though about it Sasuke did do a lot of brooding.
She slipped in the shower wondering at her strange taste in men.
