Hello, I'm your Angel! WTF

by juicy.kiwi

This started out as an innocent assignment. She, the Angel, needs to teach the raven man what love is. He, the damaged soul, has something else in his mind. Lusting, living, loving. Smutty smut AU: And our sultry story continues.

32. Hold on to Me

Chapter 32

The door of the elevator opened smoothly as the tired Uchiha dragged his body home after a long day. Leaning against the cool metal wall, Sasuke wanted to loosen the tie around his neck; unfortunately, both of his hands were occupied. While one was holding his briefcase, the other held a decorative box.

'Hn.' Obsidian eyed the luggage in his hand.

o-o-o

Knock. Knock. Knock.

"Excuse me. Uchiha-sama."

The addressed man lifted his head from the mountain of folders.

In front of him stood a woman he recognized as a staff of his department. She clumsily closed the door with her hands hidden behind her back.

Before the entrance completely closed, obsidian could catch a glimpse of the other members bundled behind the door.

Sasuke dreadfully thought, 'What are they up to this time?' His eyes narrowed. His grimacing face asked the quivering woman, who must had been forced to do the task of confronting him, what she wanted.

Testing the water, she started with something safe. "Uhm. You're not going home now?" because the time was nearly five o'clock.

"Hn. No." Eyeing her suspiciously, her name finally popped in his head. 'Lina?' For sure, Sasuke wasn't going anywhere and neither was Taki, when they have a stack of proposal waited to be reviewed.

"Uhm-I-W-we." Lina stuttered and walked closer to his desk while pulling out a pink box with a lavender ribbon from her back. Something told Sasuke it had Sakura's name written over it. "Uhm. It is all right if you could pass this cake to Miss Sakura for us...a-as a thank you for her treats from last time."

"Ah." He remembered a few days ago, Sakura showed up with boxes of cakes and tousled up the entire floor. Quickly waving his hand, he motioned Lina to place the box on the side table.

Sensing she still hadn't left, Sasuke looked up. The woman remained in her spot, twirling her long curly brown hair to calm down. "Uhm. Uh… I … well… We, the staff…" Lina clasped her hands. "Since the annually company excursion is coming up." Her hazel eyes glanced around. "We were wondering if you and Miss Sakura would join us this year...this year...f-for the excursion..."

'So this is why.' Sasuke never once showed up for the past two trips. However, this time, Naruto had successfully made his mind wavered. But, it would be out of his character if he decided to go this year out of the blue. Thus, Sasuke was relieved that the staff took the initiative step.

"I'll talk to her." He replied calmly.

Lina beamed up at his reply. She gave him a bow before she turned around and exited but was strike by...

"Thank you…" The sudden words coming from him made Lina stopped her track, and twirled around, "For the cake." Sasuke glued his eyes to the papers. "In her place."

The flabbergasted staff bowed, flustered from his comment. "Y-you're welcome."

o-o-o

The sound of a blade cutting upon a wooden board echoed from the kitchen. Sasuke calmly removed his shoes at the front hall before placing his luggage down on the coffee table. He lifted his head to see Sakura standing aloof by the stove area. Silently, he chuckled at her aloofness. The girl hadn't noticed his presence at all. Though the sound from the TV did help drowning out his footsteps.

Leaning leisurely next to the counter, he settled the gift box on the cold surface of the marble counter. Gentle orbs watched as his angel cut something into pieces with her neck sharply bent down and her elbows pressed tight to her sides. Obsidian trailed from her exposed neck with the pink knot of her apron to her slender shoulders. His gaze dragged down the soft body, covered by a blue dress that flow down until her knees.

Cocking his head to the side, Sasuke noticed how heavy her movements were. Something was troubling the Angel, he concluded. The way she paused to put the knife on the side and a shrug of shoulder while she heaved a deep sigh made him pondered. Smoothly, Sasuke walked up behind her. His calloused hands rested on her supple hips as he bent to place a soft kiss upon her shoulder. It felt wonderful, her skin, her scent, everything that belong to her.

Surprised, Sakura jumped from the sudden touch. In the middle of putting the ingredient in the soup pot, she released the bowl out of reaction.

Catching it in time, "Careful there…" Sasuke chuckled as he stopped the content from splashing the boiled water everywhere. They wouldn't want another mishap incident.

"S-sasuke-kun!" She gasped.

"Yes. That's my name." He joked as the bowl returned to the counter then he continued to cuddle her body within his embrace.

Sakura pouted from his rare humorous side. "Don't sneak up on me like that." She straightened her body up to let Sasuke comfortably nuzzled his head on her shoulder.

"Ah." He wasn't listening because her scent had already submerged his mind.

She gave up. Picking up the bowl again, Sakura carefully poured the ingredient in. "Tired?" She felt a nod from him. The way his hair tickled her skin made the end of her neck hair stood up from his soft breathing.

Tenderly tapped his head in a gentle manner, Sakura placed the glass lid over the pot, "Dinner is ready once the soup is done." She turned around in his arms. "Why don't you go take a shower?" Green eyes looked up. Sakura held on to his jacket collar and then peeled it back to help him remove it.

"Sure." Sasuke straightened up and loosened his tie. About to ask the girl why she seemed troubled but her keen eyes found the decorative box.

"What's this?!" She left his side almost immediately to pretty object on the counter. Looking for permission, she carefully opened the box once Sasuke nodded his head. Her orbs widened, emeralds glistened at the sight of the pretty gateaux delicacy. "Woa!" She lifted it out from the box. It was a pretty good size cake with pink and white icing. The top was covered with cherries and slices of fruit.

"The staff told me to give this to you for the treats you made last time for them." He explained with a smirk, hoping to see her disappointing face thinking it was him who bought it. Sadly, it wasn't so.

"Really?! Aw that's so sweet of them." Her eyes smiled amiably. Sasuke stood with an annoyed expression. What was so special about it? He could buy her a cake. In fact, he could buy her a whole boutique store of cake or a lifetime supply of cake.

"Better put this in the fridge." Sakura weaved around with the cake in her hands.

Grimace, Sasuke made a mental note. Cakes equaled him being ignored. Therefore, 'Cakes are bad', especially cakes from others.

"Your colleagues are so nice." Her body spun around and skipped to Sasuke. Her troubled expression disappeared. The girl acted as normal as usual. Sasuke, however, felt something was still out of place. Hopefully, this next news would cheer her up more.

"Sakura." He reached out and pulled on her arm. Obediently, she looked up to face him. "There is going to be an over night trip with the staff in two weeks, do you want to go..." Awkward, his voice showed it all. Sasuke didn't know why. But his body was heating up as he told her of the trip. "…Together with me?" He looked to the side. "Since. They invited us." Once again, Sasuke used the staff as his excuse. "It's goi-OFFT"

"Yes!" Exclaimed in joy, she gave him a big glomp. "It's going to be so much fun with everyone!"

Alright, perhaps she had expressed too much happiness. 'Everyone...?' Disturb, somehow the amount of rant this angel showed was too much for him. Sakura never showed this level of overjoyed cheerfulness when they go out. Not to complain, she was always cheerful when they spend time together but… What was wrong with him? He shouldn't feel this rile of feelings.

This angel. What had she done to him...

[…]

Rub. Rub. Rub.

The glass walls of the bathroom were fogged by the steam from the hot shower. Behind the murky wall, Sasuke covered his well-formed body with soap.

Rub. Rub. Rub.

Harshly, he dragged the soapy sponge across his chest and arm. Annoyance filled his expression. His lips muttered twaddle words. Bizarre thoughts kept lurking around in his mind. Sasuke's consciousness was overwhelmed with the girl's carefree attitude. 'What's with that face?'

"It's going to be so much fun with everyone!"

Her words echoed in his mind. 'Hn. Fuck everyone.'

His fingers weaved through the lace of his deep black lock. Under the stream of hot water, Sasuke let his muscles relaxed. But his quiet time was interrupted again with door to the bathroom slammed wide.

"Sasuke kun!" And his angel boldly opened the shower door. Before Sasuke could formulate naughty reasons why this pinkette was in front of his nude form, Sakura obliterated his mind clean with a request, "Can we pick up Ryu this Sunday?!"

Glistering emerald shined its glory, before the request registered his mind. Word already escaped his lips. "Sure."

"Yay. I'm going to call his grandma now to let her know that we'll pick him up!" And she escaped before he could recovered.

'The fuck just happened.'

Did his peaceful Sunday just got robbed again?

[...]

While Sasuke was making a novel of 'How To Stop Others From Interfering' in the living room, Sakura was left by her self to finish making dinner.

She ignored the amplifying volume of the plasma TV and moved around the kitchen with glee. Not only did Sasuke agree to the plan on Sunday, they were going to go on a trip. '…together with Sasuke-kun.' The simple thought just made her feel brighter.

But still, she felt guilty. Two days ago, Hinata had mentioned the event to her already. Sakura actually thought up a scheme to get Sasuke to join as well. Then when he delivered the news to her, it was a sweet surprise. The idea of Sasuke joining everyone on the ride to the destination, then of him interacting in the games they would play appeared like a perfect movie in her head.

Too perfect actually. Emerald glanced to the male on the sofa.

She felt as though Sasuke was forcing this upon himself. He did this for her just like all the other times. Perhaps, Sakura was thinking too selfishly but it did seem more out of the ordinary for him to agree upon this. Usually, Sasuke just went with the flow. But this time, he took the initiative and asked her. Sasuke could have flatly refused and not mentioned it to her. And she was glad he didn't and did the opposite.

However, no matter how jolly she felt at the moment. With the remoteness returning, Sakura's mind was once more occupied by the encounter with Hana that afternoon. Her legs still trembled from the comeback she made.

[-]

Fraise, the café that Sakura had walked by earlier was the location of their meeting. Ryu sat by the front counter with a sundae bowl in front of him. The grocery bags laid next to his seat. The air of the ground floor was calming and quiet with a few customers looking for a leisure place to read or just to enjoy the famous strawberry tart. Miko, the owner as well as the waitress, tenderly served her customers.

On the second floor though, there were only two souls. But the atmosphere was not pleasant. Whatever kindliness of the ground floor did not reach them.

Hana and Sakura sat in silent.

Unnerving, no words formed from her lips. Sakura didn't know what to say. She led Hana to this café so that they could have the talk. What talk? It was a mystery until Hana spoke.

"Miss Sakura." She raised the cup of tea to her lips.

Green eyes lifted from the crystal teapot.

She didn't beat around the bush. Hana got straight to the point and flat out told Sakura.

"I'm sure you know. The Uchiha family controls one of the five biggest corporations in Asia." The cup was gently place back down. Her finger trace the rim slowly, still keeping their eye contact. "And Sasuke is the second heir to the fortune."

Sakura nodded her head. It was to her understanding that Sasuke matured from a wealthy family, but how big, she had no clue nor did she care. Her only concern was Sasuke and him only. How much fortune he had in hand made no difference. Perplexed, she wondered what she was trying to convey.

Then the next coming comments struck her unexpectedly.

"While you, Miss Sakura, We don't mean to intrude your privacy but you should understand. It's for the young master's safety." Hana leaned back. "I don't know how you did it. By luck perchance? But Miss, it's quite clear, no matter how hard you try. A relation between an insignificant orphan and the young master is quite unreachable." She lowered her eyelids and gazed at the girl. "Don't you think?"

Sakura timidly bent her head, she eyes glazed. Disturbance stirred in side her. She couldn't reply, it was hard to breathe let along utter a word.

Hana sat there and smirked, thinking in her head the same event that happened ten years ago. It took all that she could to drive a prosperous family business to the ground, plunging that girl's family in to a financial debt and the brig of bankruptcy. It was used as a threat. Hana was willing to erase all their debt and give as much money she need as long as she break up with Itachi and move away from him, disappeared from his life forever. If not, then all of her parent's work would be gone. The wrenched girl showed no sign of backing up and Sakura was showing the same reaction.

Unfortunately, there was nothing of Sakura that could be used as a threat. The girl had no value, no family, no ties. Hana had no other way than to use her last verbal resort.

"Beside, you wouldn't want Sasuke to be held back do you? He's at the peak of his career. You wouldn't want to be a burden to him?"

Sakura cringed.

Then all of a sudden, a small rectangular piece of paper was placed in front of her.

Green eyes looked up in surprised.

"Having you by his side is a big distraction. Besides, someone with high position and ego as Sasuke, his faithfulness can only last for so long."

Seeing her words began to take its toll on the girl's mind. The way her orbs looked around in agitation.

Hana continued. "It's only in the mean time. Eventually, you will be a speck in the back of his mind. I'm only doing a favor. Helping you detangle yourself before it's too late. Men are cruel. I'll tell you that from experience. So, I encourage you to take this offer, leave him. With this money, your life will be settled." She pushed the blank check forward. "So?" Waiting for the girl's answer, Hana sat quietly with her leg crossed.

A short silent later, Sakura's hand reached out and Hana's grin widened as she grabbed the check. 'This one is smarter than the last.' She remembered the time when that Yumi girl ripped the check and threw it in her face. Blood boiled from the memory. The embarrassment of being humiliated in the middle of a crowded restaurant still plagued her mind after so many years. It was nice to know, this little bitch was more rational. Sasuke did choose well but he would never expect this. Women indeed were men's strongest weakness. Hana let out a victory laugh in her head. 'So easy.'

Red lips widened. "That's better. End it all today and by tomorrow, you'll be living paradise." She took out a pen from her purse and gave to Sakura.

Tiny hand moved fluidly.

Quietly putting the pen down, Sakura stood up and bowed. Not taking the check with her, she stepped away from the chair.

"I will not mention anything about this to anyone. And I hope the next time we meet, this matter will not be discussed again. Have a good day Miss Hana. Please send my regard to Mr. Uchiha."

Confidently, Sakura walked down stair. She thanked Miko for looking after Ryo and paid her for the treat as well as the drinks. After that, they left the café and headed home, leaving Hana alone in anger.

She sat crumbling up the check after reading its content.

[-]

"I will never leave his side. No matter what." She recited those words in ink, neatly written on the check with venom spilling from her voice. Hana sat in her apartment, with a glass wine in hand. The main lights were off. Engulfed in total darkness, she lay on the armchair in front of the open balcony. Eyes glared out to the city.

'The same. Such stupid minds for love.'

o-o-o-o-o

The sun shined bright to mark the time of midday. Cars zoomed up and down the two lanes of the main intersection. Commotion from the rush hour elevated the heat of the city. Konoha was indeed a flourish setting.

"Thank you Ino-chan." Sakura chirped happily, as she gathered her things, readied to exit the car.

Ino gave her a wave to say it was nothing. "You're welcome. Do you need me to pick you up later?"

Bento box in hand, Sakura opened the door with the help of the security guard. She stepped out and thanked him before turning around. Leaning in, Sakura said. "It's alright. I'll stay until he's off for work."

"Aw. I can't take you and show off with the others…" Ino pouted. It was always fun with Sakura around when she went outing with the colleagues in the field.

A giggled escaped her pink lips. "I'm sorry but Sasuke-kun is going to feel neglected if you keep on kid-napping me." Sakura remembered last Sunday when Ino showed up unexpectedly at the door, begging to take Sakura out to a private show as her model.

"Mou. Fine. Go to your boyfriend. I'll see you." Blue eyes smiled, she waved to Sakura as the door closed. Carefully, Ino drove away.

Green eyes waited until the wine color vehicle turned the corner. She spun around toward the grand entrance of Uchiha Corps Headquarter.

"Miss Tenshi. Would you like me to carry it." The black choppy hair security offered as he followed her inside.

Shaking her head, "It's fine. Thank you." She gave the man a bow and began her journey.

Whispers passed on as many eyes trailed after her steps. Mouth echoes anecdote, made up tales of how they met, of how the Ice King's heart was captured by this beautiful maiden. They assumed she was the daughter of a great anonymous millionaire. The two met during the one of the greatest exclusive occasion. An elaboration of love stories passed from one to another. Details fabricated more and more. Fortunately, none of them reached the main characters. Sasuke and Sakura were clueless. Well, Sasuke just didn't pay much attention to it.

As the angel walked through the lobby, both front desk receptionists stood up and bowed. "Miss Tenshi." They said in unison.

"Good afternoon." She returned the greeting as her path toward the elevator ended. At the sudden sight of Sakura, everyone who waited for their turn to get on the elevator parted. 'Again?' Sakura heaved a sigh. They were at it again. Everyone would purposely clear the way as she walked, bow when she passed.

"Miss Sakura please, enter…" One of the employees held out his hand. Sakura could only obliged and step inside since no matter how many times she offered sharing, no one dared. In the end, she, alone used the five thousand pounds capacity elevator.

[…]

Ding. The elevator began to rise up. The light of the floor button blinked from floor one and increased.

"..." Amy stood behind as she held the briefcase in hand. Looking up to the back of Sasuke head, she was in daze, wanting to run her hand through his amazing hair. So luscious, dark and black, her hands would melt. His shoulder was broad. It would feel heavenly to wrap her arms around him. 'Sasuke-kun. You're so … aw…'

"Fumiko."

"…" She was in her little fantasy world.

"Fumiko." Sasuke's voice was darker this time. He hated repeating names.

Shocked, Ami jolted to stance. "Y-yes."

"Finish preparing that report. I want it before the end of the day." Not even bothered to turn around, he kept his gaze forward. A bit of impatience was visible in his appearance, as if he wanted to reach the office as soon as possible.

Ami noticed the body language and thought he was tense because of her presence. "I will try my best." The office should be clear of everyone since it was noon. It was only the two of them then. Thinking about it, made her blush.

"Hn. Do leave for lunch before starting it." His voice unchanged, still the same vocal. However, it came to Ami as sweet as honey. She was drowned in another fantasy world. 'Sasuke-kun does care for me.' After all these months, she believed he had finally noticed her. The beauty and the work ethic she possessed. Imaginative rose petals fluttered around her. It was all like how she dreamt.

Consciousness came back. Ami realized she was standing alone in an open elevator. 'Aw. Is he shy?' Her hand covered the giggling lips. The flight of the imagination that Sasuke had been crushing on her and he did everything to make her jealous all this time was like reality to her. She stepped out and walked toward her desk with a perfect little plan in her head.

Placing the folder on her desk, the computer turned on. Ami commenced on starting the financial report that he needed. Then she would take this draft to him, ask him a few questions, and they would work more on it while eating lunch together. 'Yes'

Five minutes passed. A loop whole was found from her plan. Their lunch only lasted for forty-five minutes. Even if this was just a draft, by the time she was done. Lunch would be over already.

"Ooohhh…" She groaned. But that didn't stop her. Regaining the confident, she commenced plan B. Shirt fixed with two more top buttons undone. She wiggled her shoulder to make a more appealing cleavage. Standing up, the black waist skirt raised up to show more of her slender legs. 'There.'

Taking a few folders, Ami headed straight to Sasuke's office. After a knock, she opened the door without waiting for approval. "I'm so sorry Uchiha-san. But I have some quest-" Smiling wide with her eyes closed, Ami had no idea of the extra guest in the room. "EEP!" The voice of the—oh—so familiar figure echoed. Ami opened her eyes and narrowed it at the sight. "-tions to ask about." Her voice trailed off.

On the grand desk, the pink-haired girl had her back facing the door while Sasuke was standing what seemed to be between her thighs. 'Whore.' Blood boiled as the girl shyly turned around.

"A-ami-chan. G-good-af-fternoon-n." Sakura stuttered. Even when she tried to close her legs, begging to get off, Sasuke wouldn't budge from his position.

"Uh. Good afternoon Sakura." Trying her best to hold back the urges of screaming at the shameless girl, Ami stood, slightly biting her lips. How dare she would ruin her perfect time!

"What do you want Fumiko? Weren't you supposed to leave for lunch?" Sasuke stood up straight to gaze at her impassively. His stare was more of 'Get out' with irritation and annoyance.

Scared, she was shaking. "Um…I thought…I could use this time to work and …" The folders in her hand were brought up to validate her reason.

"It's fine. Go. I said you could work on it after you return from lunch." As if an order for her to leave the room and the building, Ami realized the situation and apologized before she turned around and leave. However, Sasuke gave her one last order before letting her go.

"Lock the door after you."

The sky tumbled down upon her pitiful mind. "That wrench." Curses mumbled under her breath. Ami stomped back to her desk. Harshly gathered everything in her purse and continued to stomp her feet out. 'How dare she? That girl. He's mine. How dare she …'

[…]

Back to the enclosed and locked room, the atmosphere returned to its sensual state.

"Sa-ssuke-kun. You for-got to lock-k the d-door agai-in" Still embarrassed from being seen in the current position, Sakura was as red as a ripe tomato.

Licking his lips, he replied in an apologetic tone. "I thought everyone was out for lunch already. But…it's locked now." He leaned back down to level his face with hers. With a smirk, Sasuke forwarded closer. Letting his nose brush against hers. Then softly with gentleness, he gave her a kiss. It was light as air but it made Sakura more flustered. He chuckled. "Sakura I'm not going to eat you." He commented from seeing her shaking like a leaf on a windy day.

His hand reached over to the open bento box. A piece of ebi-fry was shown to the girl. "I just want to eat my lunch." His smirk widened. "With you." The tail of the shrimp was next to her lips. Sakura obedient held it in place by biting it with Sasuke at the other end.

Sakura whimpered slightly as he moved closer and closer with each bite. Obsidians trapped the green orbs, locked in place. He was too good at tormenting her. Their lips were millimeter apart. Unable to keep up, she released the tail as Sasuke finished the rest.

Lightly panting, Sakura leaned back. "Sasuke-kun…" The flushed skin tone hadn't changed. It got redder. "P-put it a-away…" Unable to ignore it, she stared to the ceiling. She couldn't look anywhere below his …

"No." He leaned in closer to her. Sasuke was amused at the way Sakura scooted further back, away from him.

"Sasuke-kun!" She pushed his shoulder away. Flustered, she was weak. "Put it away."

"You do it."

"No!" A hint of giggling in her tone, even when she was protesting, Sakura couldn't refuse to find the situation a bit amusing.

"What? You were fascinated by it a while ago…"

She pouted. "Cuz I didn't know it was…" Blushed, it was hard to utter the word.

Sasuke just chuckled as he backed away and removed the unique necklace from his neck. Girls, five minutes ago she was examining it with interest because of the intricate detail of the lock around the relic. Sakura even put it over his head and made comment how it suited him. Until when he answered what it made of, Sakura recoiled away with her face, flustered red.

"It's from a business associate I just had meeting with."

"Why would he …" She followed Sasuke's movement as he put it back in the box. Sitting up straight but still on his desk, Sakura unknowingly spread her knees apart as he leaned further.

"I don't know. I guess because he was there when I announced you're my girlfriend. He wanted to give something useful as a congratulatory gift." Sasuke did notice that he attended the Hyugaa's party. The old traditional and superstitious man always gave him weird gifts when they met for a meeting. "He told me this would give off special vibe and help…" He trailed his eyes down and Sakura followed along. "I think it's working pretty well…"

"Stop being a pervert!" She cupped his face and pulled it up.

"It's only a piece of cow p-offtt." Instantly Sakura's palms cut him off, not letting another word slip out.

"Wah." It was too much. Her little ears couldn't take it. "Don't say it."

Sasuke raised an eyebrow. His eyes showed the amusement by her action then nodded his head.

"Well, now that matter is over… shall we return to lunch?" And he began, starting with the spicy Yakisoba. Picking up a long strand of noodle, they enjoyed the little game they loved to play.

o-o-o-o-o

K-cling.

The sound of expensive glass tapping rang. Within the VIP room of a high-class restaurant, a formal pleasant meeting was held.

"How is it Fugaku?"

"Good wine. Good wine." He raised the glass up to show his liking. "I don't know how. But you always find the best. Orochimaru."

"He who loves not wine, women and song remains a fool his whole life long." Orochimaru finished his glass and settled it down. "Besides the 'song' part to make it rhyme. I'm pretty sure this quote is fitting." He tried to make the air a bit lighter. "Women and wine. Like son like father, no?"

However, the Uchiha monarch didn't like it very much. "Uhm." He made a motion to clear his throat. The joke definitely didn't trigger his humor sense, nor made it exist.

"Let us continue to talk about the young Sasuke's situation." The snake lover man backed down. "I've presented my proposition. I wish to hear your consideration."

Narrowing his eyes, Fugaku showed Kakashi his palm in motion for him to bring out the folder. Once the silver haired adviser opened and placed the item down, Fugaku looked at the papers in front of him again.

"This is a matter of importance. The governor may not be happy if something else went wrong again." Leaning back to rest up the soft cushioned chair, Orochimaru waved his hand around for emphasis.

"This project is under the authority of Sasuke. He had assured me everything is running smoothly. Your plan is very appealing but I had promised him a second chance." Fugaku closed the folder. The pale face darkened for a moment until the man spoke again. "However, this will be the first alternative if anything slips."

"Ah. I thought this would help a lot regaining the governor's trust. But, I'm sure if the young Sasuke had secured his preparation then this measly little proposal can be cast aside. But if you say so, just to be safe." He picked up the folder and gave it to his secretary. "I'll put it in my safe."

o-o-o-o-o

Across the city, returning the scene to the Uchiha Corp headquarter. Anger entered through the main entrance of the grand building.

Harshly, Tsunade made her way back to the office floor after her important meeting with the head construction drafter. It was like she had been to the volcano and back. Steam were emitting from her head. The whole floor cleared the way for the one-person stampede.

"Tsunade." Shizune ran after her while she struggled with all the folders in hands. "Tsunade. Wait." Unable to catch up with the moving body of fire, Shizune stayed back to pick up the fallen papers with the help of the other lobbyist.

[…]

"Naruto. Red alert hide!" A comrade male colleague opened the door and warned the ill-fated man.

In the middle of starting his new proposal for MIK-company right after lunch, he had to set aside everything and gathered his stuff. Naruto could sense the danger making its way up the elevator.

"Use the fire-exit." They safely lead him out. As Naruto opened the heavy metal door and about to run down the stairs, the sound of heel clicked made them stop dead in their track.

"Where do you think you're going? Uzumaki-brat." Venomous voice echoed eerily from the floor below. The light unusually flickered to add eeriness. They met head on with Tsunade. She actually made a short stop the floor below and used the staircase knowing it would be the first thing he would use.

"Omg!" He was dead and the whole racket exploded through the staff section.

While fire mayhem erupted, there was something else heatedly exploded behind the wall, inside a certain someone's locked door.

It was more slowly but with the same intensity.

"Ahhh…" She fell back into his arm, exhausted. Her ear tickled by his soft chuckled. Sasuke felt pretty loosen up.

Carefully, Sasuke turned the worn out girl around in his arms.

"Sakura. I told you it works." He joked. His fingers brought to his lips. Tongue licked clean the sweet tang that belonged to his angel. It was his dessert after lunch.

Blushing, her skin retained that red tone. She was still recovering from their moment. Hot, hot moment.

"You cheated." Plump face hid between his neck and shoulder. Slender arms wrapped around the exposed firmed chest. His parted maroon dress shirt was hanging loosely from his elbows showing the godly sculptured body.

"Ah." He kissed her cheek. "Again…?" Before she got a chance to answer, his hands already grabbed her porcelain legs and spread it. Gently, the throbbing core was placed over his crotch. Sakura shuddered from the raw contact. She heaved a harsh breath once his calloused hand lifted her bottom up. Sasuke pulled his legs back, swiftly turned and laid the girl on the ground with his jacket cover the carpet to protect her. On all four, he took a moment to memorize the sight and added to the collection in his mind. The deep violet bow was untied, the collar widely unravel to reveal her sweet plump twins, exposed after the bra was unclasped. His eyes glued to the rhythm of her chest as it rose up and down from the lack of air.

"Wah…But… Sasuke-kun!" Gripping his shoulder, Sakura couldn't stop as he swoon down to shower kisses on her bare neck.

"Oooh…" She lost again. Curving her chest upward, Sakura was looking toward the murky glass door. Hazy green orbs detected movements out side of his office. Immediately, with strong but breakable will, her arms pulled Sasuke up to face her before he moved south again. "Sasu-uke-kun-n. Lun-nch's-s over." She informed him.

"Hn." Sadly, all Sasuke saw was the ruby lips moving, luring him to kiss her with intensity. Therefore, he did.

"Mmhhh…." Defeated, she mewed satisfyingly.

Pushing and dragging his body upon hers, Sasuke imitated the movement of how their tongues danced.

"Ooh…"

It was crazy. It was hot. The way they made out could make iceberg liquefy within second. Thus, meaning, Sasuke, the Ice King was like a puddle of melted slush at the moment.

"Sasu…" Kiss. "Pleas…" Kiss. "C'mon…" Kiss.

A completely new level of French kiss, they had gone astray in rapture, lost without a way back until…

BAM.

The door to his room was slammed open. "Uchiha!" Tsunade stood with the master key twirled around in her hand.

BAM. Another sound, this time, it came from under desk.

Annoyed, Tsunade demanded. "Get out from under the table." Glaring harder, a flash of pink found. "Stop harassing your girlfriend." At the amplifying word of 'harassing' and 'girlfriend', everyone tried to peek in the room. Unfortunately, the door was closed before the wandering eyes saw anything.

Sasuke slowly emerged from behind the desk with an obvious bump on his head. Hands buttoned his shirt again after his pants and his belt were neatly in place. His eyes stared an intense glare at the interrupter. Noticing the master key, he knew she must have given Taki quite a scared.

"What do you want?" He calmly stated.

Shoving the memo in front of him, she questioned the content, "What's this?"

It was his turned to get irritated and annoyed. "You break in to my room for that. The company excursion?" Veins popped.

"Kiddo I used the key. Besides. Play time's over." Like on cue, Sakura surfaced slowly. "Hi Sakura." She greeted the flustered girl as she clumsily tied her bow.

Face palmed, it took all the courage she had left to give Tsunade a bow in greeting.

Bam. Third time was the charm when her forehead met the desk. "Oww…" Sakura was back on the floor, clutching her head.

"You're alright?" Sasuke knelt down to check on the wound after the impact. Sakura gave him an 'I'm okay' wave.

To make the room more lively, another intruder invaded the room. "Teme's on my side. You got no chance." Naruto came in with his hand still fumbling with the rope that previously tied him to a chair.

"What did you bribe him with this time…" Tsunade's glare darkened.

"I did nothing. Teme just saw the righteous in this …"

"We are going to the hot spring."

"Our destination is the beach."

"Spring."

"Beach."

"Spring!"

"Bea…"

[…]

Emerald and obsidian just watched as the two continued to run their show.

"What are they arguing about?"

"Nothing work related."

"Should we stop them before it get worst-?"

"Hn. Let's go out for dinner today?"

"Okay. But-"

"I'll finish my work early."

"Yes. Um…"

"Is your head fine?"

"Wah…?"

"Hn." He leaned down and pulled her head closer to whisper by her ear. "If I kiss it, it'll fe-"

"Uchiha. Stop flirting with your girlfriend. You agreed to the original plan first."

"Teme." Naruto pulled him aside. "Remember. Beach." He glanced to Sakura and back. "Bikini!"

'These perverted brats.' Tsunade pushed Naruto away and grabbed Sasuke. She pulled him down and spoke some senses in to his mind. "You know. Sakura in a bikini at the beach, lovely sight but…you won't be the only one to see her wearing it. While at the hot spring, in the private VIP room … and imaging, Sakura in a yukata … enough has said … no?"

Sasuke straightened up. "Hot spring," and his answer was final.

"WHa-!"

Annoyed, he couldn't take it any further. "Go back to work." So he kicked both of them out. The master key in Tsunade's hand was also confiscated.

[-]

"Naruto. Cheer up."

Fox face sulked.

"C'mon."

He sulked more.

"Smile!"

"Hina-chan…" Jumping his in to his girlfriend waiting arms, Naruto sobbed his defeat.

"Come on now. It shouldn't matter where, right? Because I'm going with you this year!" Hinata smiled as she ran her fingers through his hair.

Muffling into her chest, Naruto reasoned. "But I want to go to the beach with you. We haven't in a while, with me working and you're busy with college."

Heaving a sigh, Hinata rolled her eyes. "You just want a reason to see me in a bikini along with … the other hundred of girls. Right?" She playfully pinched his ear.

"No…ahaha…No…What made you think that…hahaha..." Flustered, Naruto's scheme was exposed. The more he refused, the more it was futile to escape.

"I met Tsunade on my way to the office to see you earlier." She let his ears go and stood up. Hinata left in with a hint of rage in her voice. Naruto sat on his sofa in shock for a moment before running after his girlfriend.

"Noooooooo Hina-chan. Don't listen to her."

o-o-o-o-o

o-o-o-o-o

Romantic atmosphere, the best restaurant in Konoha never failed to display it. The air was soothing from the fragrance candles softly flickered. Gentle melody of the piano swaying in the background.

"I really don't get why Naruto and Tsunade would fight over the trip. Are they always like that? Even with work?" Sakura animatedly asked him. The incident in the office was quite funny. To know Sasuke had to go through something like that everyday was quite amusing. Before, she expected his office to be filled with uptight staff and strict atmosphere judging from Sasuke's personality but in reality it was completely different. Although, the members of his office were professionals once work began, but besides that, they were actually high spirited and quite childish. It didn't make sense how they became his subordinates until Sasuke explained that he skipped the whole job interview session and left it in the hands of Kakashi, Naruto, and Tsunade. Sakura laughed out loud seeing Sasuke's regretting face and his complains.

"Hn." He nodded.

"Wouldn't it be better to pick both locations?"

"That wouldn't fit the idea of a company excursion." It supposed to help relation between coworkers or whatever they meant. He could care less.

They paused the conversation to lean back as the waiter placed the main course on the table.

"Uhhmm. This is the best." Sakura exclaimed in delight.

Taking a sip from the wine glass, Sasuke silently watched his Angel as she enjoyed the time. Under the soft chandelier light, she looked beautiful, as always. But, the normal definition of beautiful contradicted with his own. He cast aside the stunning feature of her visage. He could careless how she possessed the finest body with all the righteous curves and the smooth porcelain skin tone, but it didn't mean he deemed it insignificant. He adorned all part that was she.

However his term of beautiful rested upon her smiles, the glossiness of her orbs whenever she looked his way with glee, her cheerful tone and thoughtful actions, always caring with concerns exclusive of a second thought of compensation. He had lacked feeling this attention from another being for too long. Sometime Sasuke found it hard to accept and not quite adapted to it. But as real as it was. She was there in front of him. Smiling brightly, a smile that reserved only for him.

Sasuke wished the time stopped. Then the power to control time appealed to him. The past, the present, the future, he feared nothing when they were under his control. If only he could. Sasuke had the urge to ask Sakura if there was such thing or being. It would be fascinating to know.

Vrrm Vrrm The phone vibrated violently in his pocket for the seventh times after they left the office. Knowing who called and for what, Sasuke ignored it. He was being irresponsible and he was aware but there was no way he would ruin this moment. Sakura was finally cheering up from whatever made her gloomy. He wasn't going to end it. Since yesterday, she was acting strange. Then the episode of her nightmares from the former nights that he couldn't bring himself to inform her, worried him.

"Sasuke-kun…"

Obsidian softened as they made eye contact.

"Thank you!" Smile. Sakura was grateful for all of this.

Glad, he felt more at ease to see her spirited self returned.

"Sakura." Sasuke outstretched his arm and gently cupped the plump cheek. His broad body leaned forward and without a warning, his lips met hers. Weak, the silverware in her hand fell limply on the table. He could taste the saltiness from the steak. She could experience the bitterness of the red wine he had consumed. Nevertheless, the relish of their kiss was overwhelmed with sweetness.

Having enough, Sakura pounded his shoulder in need of air.

"Hah. Hah … too long…" She panted.

"Hn." He smirked.

Enough break, Sasuke reeled her in once more. They ignored the surrounding gazes of jealousy to drown themselves in another elongated kiss.

[...]

'Aw...I got a stain on the bow.' Sakura returned from her trip to the washroom, hand fumbling with the longer tail of the bow. She tried to dab it clean with a wet paper towel. It was her favorite detail of the dress but apparently, it was dipped in the bowl of sauce when she clumsily tried to stand up by bending her body forward and scooting the big heavy chair back.

Walking closer to the end of the hallway, she could see Sasuke by one of the giant pillars, waiting for her. Smiling wide, they were planning to go for a walk around the city. Mischievously, she slowed down her step, creeping up to him in silent. About to surprise the man with a glomp but…

"I know." His voice was shady and rough. 'He's talking on the phone...?' Now that she noticed, he was conversing with someone and it seemed important by the edginess of his stance with his hand in pocket.

"I will have the whole proposal done by the deadline." Sasuke suddenly turned around to check if Sakura was out yet. The hall was empty of the pink haired girl since Sakura had hid her body behind the big pillar, a couple down from him.

"Send the files to me. I'll finish it." Seeing that it was safe, he returned to the conversation. Annoyance filled his voice and expression. For the whole evening, Taki had been trying to contact him, but he simply just ignored all the calls. The staff had completed the research. Thus, it was Sasuke's turn to conclude their month's worth of labor. Doing such task was effortless to him but the time it consumed was overbearing.

"So. Stop calling to remind me. I don't want to turn my phone off."

Sakura, neatly scrunched up behind the pillar, heard his agitated tone loud and clear. 'No wonder he kept on checking the time.' Foreigned feeling made her uneasy. Her chest constricted tighter by each breath. 'Sasuke…' Biting her lips, Sakura stood and crumpled the hem of her dress.

"Sasuke-kun." Sasuke turned off his phone and put it his pocket. He turned around at the charming voice calling out to him.

"Ready to go?" Discomfort made Sakura hesitated to take his hand. Green eyes searched his composed face. Sakura didn't know why but it pained her. Seeing how Sasuke was putting aside his work to spend time with her.

"Actually." Sakura tugged his sleeve. "Sasuke-kun. Let's go home."

"What's wrong?" He turned around. "Are you feeling alright?"

The more Sasuke was displaying his concern, the harder it was for Sakura to breathe. The way his hand touched her forehead to test the temperature made her skin burned from contact.

Her hand found his. Pulling it down to cover her eyes, Sakura said. "You're spoiling me. I guess I'm just a bit tired. Eating too much makes one sleepy." A smile was revealed once she let go of his hand from her eyes. "Besides, I'm sure you still have some work to take care of. Let's finish it all tonight so we can enjoy tomorrow." She looked up to him with a brighter smile.

Since Sasuke always bring minor material home to review, Sakura believed such excuse would pass. And indeed, Sasuke bought her reason. He still found it hard to believe she would be tired after dinner since usually, Sakura would always have a sugar rush after consuming all that dessert. Surely after the sugar rush ended, she crashed down and sleep like a cat.

They exited the restaurant to the waiting car in the front. Sakura settled her self in the passenger seat while Sasuke started the engine after the attendants closed the doors.

Speeding out on to the main street, Sasuke became aware of the girl's silence. Perhaps he was being paranoid but it was bizarre that he felt discomforting from the stillness. He who believed the idea of casual conversation was an annoyance, itched to start something. Anything was enough as long as it beat the awkwardness away. Then suddenly, Sakura reached over to grab his hand and give it a light squeeze.

"Today was amazing." She exclaimed, and then began to rant.

Perchance, he was wrong. But since Sakura was back to her cheering self, he brushed off the thought. "Ah." Sasuke couldn't wipe off that arrogant smirk on his face. He made a turn into the main section of the city, driving around the crowded street, full of shoppers.

o-o-o

Rustling through the papers on his desk, collecting the data, he went through the material and recorded it onto the next. No matter how he made it look like he was just doing some trivial task, Sasuke couldn't mask the fact there was a huge pile of paper on his desk and the numerous unopened emails in his account.

Guilty of his thoughts, he was relieved that Sakura decided to go home right after dinner. Because, in truth, while talking on the phone, Sasuke let an unwanted thought skip across his mind. It had been three hours and he wasn't even half way through.

Knock Knock Knock…

The door of his office opened to reveal Sakura, carrying a tray of drink.

By this time, it was hard to hide. Sakura couldn't conceal that amusing laugh in her eyes as she walked closer. Smiling. "Here you go Sasuke-kun." The second time of the night, she placed the ceramic cup on his desk.

"Thanks." He took a sip and watched as Sakura walked back to the little corner of his bookcase. With the presence of Sakura in the enclosed room, the impatience irritation vanished. A habit this could turned out. He enjoyed the atmosphere with her around. It took away the heaviness of his work, just knowing she was there was enough.

Sasuke returned to his work as Sakura sat down on the comfortable chair with a book on her lap.

"…" Secretly, green orbs looked up from time to time behind the open book. Sakura saw how dedicated Sasuke was, to his work. Diligently, he surveyed the paper and fluidly moved his fingers to type. There were only the sounds of tapping keystrokes and the flapping of the pages. Occasionally, he would give out a small cough to clear his throat. But, besides that, they both were quiet.

Not wanting to disrupt his concentration, Sakura inaudibly read the book she had bought a while ago. Formerly, she planned to finish her reading in the living room but it was hard to refuse the invitation when he asked her to join him. The reason he gave was silly, saying that it would be easier for him to ask for another drink if she was in the room.

After a long while, "Sakura can you get me another c-." Sasuke lifted his eyes from his papers to find a serene scene.

Sakura had fallen asleep on the chair. She was so quiet while reading the book that he hadn't noticed her dozing off. Either way, her presence was well aware of. Looking at the clock, it was nearing 1 am. He only had a couple of hours left to finish this document.

Seeing the way her knees were brought up to lean on the chair-arm, he chuckled a little how delicate she looked. The chair rolled back as Sasuke stood to make his way toward the unconscious girl. The book rested between her hands and stomach. It rose up and down lightly from her gentle breathing.

Propping his hand on the other chair-arm to support his body, he leaned down to study her visage. 'You overheard my conversation, didn't you?' Her blossom hair felt soft under his hand. Cautiously, he took the book away to rest it on the side. Sasuke picked the feeble body up and walked to their room. He adorned the feeling of her melting into his strong arms. So fragile she looked as he lay her down on their bed.

Loosing his warmth, she stirred. "Uhhmm." Muttering, Sakura's eyes fluttered open. "Sasuke-kun…" She whispered inaudibly. Blinking her eyes nonstop to chase away the drowsiness, Sakura focused her green orbs on the looming figure.

"Go back to sleep." He patted her head. Sasuke pulled the fluffy cover over and leaned down to place a kiss on her forehead before he prepared to leave.

Suddenly, the tiny hand reached out and tugged him back. "Where are you going?" Still under the effect of insensible sleepiness, Sakura did not recall the whole ordeal of his work.

"I need to finish my work." He took her hand and gently shook it. His thumb massaged her palm.

"It's Sunday tomorrow." She definitely had forgotten the situation at hand. Deprivation of sleep could do a lot to a tired mind. Imagine what Sasuke had to go through. Luckily, he was used to it. Therefore, his body was numb. Sleep mode was off.

Sakura ruggedly sat up. Sasuke followed suit and sat on the bed.

He explained. "I have to get this done by four and send it off before the company in Europe closes their office." Light finally dawned in her head, memories came back as well as her perception. She was awake.

Seeing her grimaced. He chuckled and leaned down. "So don't worry. I'm almost done. Go back to sleep." Sakura shivered a bit with the feathery kiss. Both hands on her shoulders, Sasuke pushed the girl down again. About to get off but her hand was still clinging to his shirt.

Perplexed, he turned back to see luminous emeralds stared up at him for while. Then her pink lips moved. She asked. "A-am I a burden to you, Sasuke-kun?"

'So this is why she had been acting strange lately.' He realized.

Reconnecting theirs lips in assurance, he answered without a second thought. "No. Never." His voice was steady, unwavering. "You don't know how much you mean to me." Such cheesy thing he had said. Although it was out of his character, Sasuke needed to stamp in to this little mind how significant she was to him. Never had the word 'burden' crossed his mind, not even during their first meeting. Although, he couldn't deny how … never mind, it was not of importance anymore.

With his passionate gaze, Sakura was relieved. Happiness spread over her face from his words.

"Where did you get this idea…?"

"I …I'm sorry..." Pulling the cover up to her nose, Sakura diverted her eyes to the side. "I was getting that feeling … " She shyly looked up to him.

Chuckled, Sasuke nuzzled her hair.

"Well disregard it, because you're not."

"Uhm…" She pondered a little. His attentive gaze was making her uneasy again.

"So. Be good." Cupping her cheek, Sasuke was amused at the way she pouted from his comment. He said it as if she was a little kid, in need of sweet talk to fall asleep.

The light turned off. Sasuke began his journey to the empty office.

[…]

Time ticked away, night neared dawn. Sasuke made his way back to his Angel. He didn't even bothered to clear off his desk. It was something to deal with, the next day.

As he settled under the comforter, about to wrap his arms around the slender waist from behind and pulled the girl closer to his chest. Sasuke was shocked for a second when Sakura unexpectedly turned around in his arms to face him. It was done sinuously as if she had not slept at all and had been waiting for him while she drifted back and forth from the state of unconsciousness. Her arms draped around his torso as he pulled her closer. Tiny body nuzzled deeper to him, sharing her warmth.

From her little act, Sasuke willfully smiled as he stroked her back. Buried his face into the crown of her head, inhaling the supple scent of blossom, Sasuke closed his eyes as they drifted off to deep slumber.

o-o-o-o-o

o-o-o-o-o

Blue and clear, the sky was high above. Afternoon sun shone brightly to signify a beautiful day waiting outside the enclosed room.

Looming darkness from the closed curtain, two bodies lay on the fluffy bed in the cooled room. The comforter pooled under their feet. Body heat was all they needed.

Sakura, awake, was lying on the side with her head in the crook of his arm. She did not stir much since Sasuke was still asleep. His breathing was deep and heavy behind her after a long night. Green eye blinked profusely, eyeing the broad hand in front of her face.

"…"

Her tiny fingertips touched his calloused fingers, curled in a loose fist. Gently opened it up, she sprawled her hand on his, palm against palm. 'So big.' His hand, she surveyed the long fingers, the rough skin of his palm, and the softness of the flesh underneath. Keeping her hand on his, Sakura flustered from the foreign strangeness swirled inside her.

In daze, she shuddered when, all of a sudden, his hand closed, intertwined their fingers. He held it protectively.

"Morning…" Huskily whispered in to her ears, Sasuke turned his body over to envelope hers. The other hand crawled over her waist, pulling it closer to him.

"Heee … a bit late don't you think?" She giggled from his playful touch.

He reached over to grab his phone, checking the time. '11:12 am'

"Nope. It's still AM." With Sakura fully underneath his massive form, it was hard, especially when he just woke up, to be in control. The way she laid there waiting for him was sweet. Sasuke had always complained how the girl would leave the bed the moment she opened her eyes. Even though it was only for the good of making him breakfast. He still wanted to see her every morning when he woke up.

Propping his body up, Sasuke stayed in that position. He just wanted to keep that moment longer. What was there on her face he had not memorized? He searched.

Glossy emerald returned his gaze with the same charm. From his messy bed hair, shady spacious orbs, high bridge nose, defined jaw line, and … his lips. With her free hand, she felt the suppleness of his mannish lips. Upper and lower, she had come to adore this pair of mischievous lips. The words that had passed from it, the smiles—more like the cute chuckles, it had shown.

She cupped his jaw, pulled his face down a little and her face pushed up. On her own, Sakura eliminated the space between them with a kiss.

It wasn't a short, shy one she usually gave. Sasuke was experiencing bliss from her lips nipping his own. Her tongue traced his teeth, not even wincing back when his tongue slipped out to play. Chaste skin burned as her fingers smothered his face. Their hands clasped tighter. His head lowered to deepen the kiss.

Indulge they were. Lost in the ecstasy, they called lust. But was it just lust or something else? Since only raw emotion was pouring from each movement. Not backing down, they slowly sunk deep, building that inept sentiment. Stronger and faster, they couldn't stop. They didn't want to stop.

Tongues battled for dominance, his hand under her head to lift it up, her hand buried in his hair to push him down. Their moans were muffled by the intensity of the kiss. The profoundness of the ecstatic act lured them both away from the state of sanity.

Slippery wet smooching sound added with the harsh breathing, and the rustling on the mattress from their squirming limbs, heated the atmosphere in the room. Burning passion from the innocent act, he didn't want to stay just like that. Greedy, he wanted more, so much more.

Free hand tugged down the strap of her nightgown. Reluctantly leaving her lips, he tried to skip his way down her neck and travel south. But, that wasn't in the game plan from the girl. Her hand escaped his hold to join the other one. Pulling on the root of his hair, Sakura forced his face back up and reconnected their lips.

She moaned a warning when he tried to go down again. Surrender, Sasuke fell to the side to give out a chuckle before drawing her in and immediately engaged in a dominant lip locking session, to show her who was in control.

Busy kissing, his hands were having a mind of its own. Touchy, it journeyed down the side of her shapely body. Sakura's focus was disrupted with each inch he slithered south, making her weak. Uncontrollably twitching her body as his hand traveled to her thigh then under and up her dress, reaching for the round and plump bottoms.

"Ooohhh…" Surprised, she pulled her head away once his hand buried in her undergarment, groping her butt cheek. Her spine shocked from his cold hand. Sakura kept on wriggling her hip to make him stop fumbling around. She was loosing from the distracted yet pleasurable touch.

"Don't stop." Sasuke leaned further to capture her lips, shutting her protest. They were in for another round. He was being mean on purpose, retaliating when she didn't let him go on his journey earlier.

"MMh...!" Sakura orbs widened as his hand traveled deeper and deeper between her legs. With a teasing stroke, he smirked against her lips from knowing how wet she was. Ignored the pounding fist, his fingers fondled her folds a couple times to feel the muggy wetness.

Finally releasing the girl, he kept that conceited smirk while bringing his fingers out from behind, lightly covered with her juice, up to his lips.

Obsidian stared at the panting girl using his ravenous gaze. Fingers licked clean with torturing pace, wanted her to see his movement in details.

"Mmmhh…" Sasuke made a scrumptious husk into her ear. "So good…" That sweet pink hue rushed up her cheeks. Even her ears and neck were red. A range of hearty chuckles released from her flustered reaction. Now that was what he wanted, but he didn't mind the daring personality she developed.

"Meanie!" Hiding her embarrassment, Sakura slapped his shoulders nonstop.

"Ah…Ah…" Catching her flailing arms, he calmed the girl down with an embrace. She stopped struggling once her ear was placed against his chest. The rapid beating of his heart made her curious because it was surprisingly in harmony with hers, perhaps louder, more forceful. "Can you hear it?" He suddenly asked.

"Yes." Pressed closer, the thumping heart pounded against her eardrum.

"Sakura, I think I'm sick…"

"WAH?!" The worried Angel jolted up and frantically checked his temperature and his face for any sign of illness. She stopped short when she realized he was fine. Frowning, thinking he must be playing around with her again.

"My heart never beats this fast…" He explained his reason.

Blushed. She sat there staggered by his blunt comment.

"Do you know why?"

Sakura shook her head.

"How so? Yours the same, isn't it?" His calloused hand rested where her thumping heart was. It was pounding mad under his palm.

"Do you…?" She answered him with a question.

"I have no idea…" It was bizarre. The sensation was so foreign, he felt oddly strange.

"Ah." All this time, Sakura still struggled to define this feeling. Now, she was relieved, since Sasuke appeared to be experiencing the same. Perhaps they could uncover this unknown together.

"Yea…"

They stayed silence for a while.

-…-

"So. should we get out of bed soon?"

"Hn…"

"C'mon Sasuke-kun… It's passing noon."

"…" He rolled away.

"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura chased after him on the bed, shaking his shoulders.

Popping his head up, the raven head turned to her. "I haven't swim in a while…" He abruptly said.

Sakura groaned. Knowing he actually did but sadly, Sasuke was too drunk to recall. Then again, he remembered the 'moment' with her after that quite clearly. Such perverted mind he had. The hopeless Angel could only heave a sigh.

o-o-o-o-o

With a splash, Sasuke made a big leap into the pool and began the crawl stroke back and forth. Sakura sat by the edge with her ankles in the water.

High noon, the sun blistered with heat, intensely shone. The sky was vacant of any sight of cloud.

Holding a bowl of cherry tomatoes, Sakura playfully splashed water by swinging her legs. The cool fluid made her body relaxed under the sun. Summer definitely was near. Even with just a white tee shirt and shorts, the temperature was a bit unbearable without the breezing wind.

A bowl of cherry tomato was in her hand as Sasuke swam closer, she fed him one after his head surfaced. Giggling at the way he brought his head forward to bite nothing but air.

Frowning, Sasuke pushed his body up and leaned in to kiss her swiftly, then pulled back with a smirk. "That's not nice Sakura." Biting the juicy tomato in half, he shared the delicious taste with her. One hand took the bowl away from her hold. The other pulled the willing girl down.

Too hypnotized from the kiss, Sakura had no idea how Sasuke had lifted her up and moved her in to the pool with him. But she didn't mind, with their bodies totally submerged in water, it felt nice and relaxing away from the humid air. Then it finally dawn in her head that Sasuke was waddling further and further toward the center of the pool, where the water was six feet deep. She, who was five feet two, had no way to escape.

"WAH…" Pulling her head away, Sakura immediately cling her body to his. Wrapping her legs and arms around him, she was afraid of drowning. Like a cat in water, her body shook violently. "Please … go back…" She begged him. Sakura's feet needed to touch the solid ground. Waddling like that with the water up to her neck was constricting. Of all the things, she was afraid of; this feeling was on the top. Swimming was out of her forte. Soaring above the sky a thousand leagues apart from the ground was nothing.

Sasuke was surely enjoying her display of frantic. If he would have known, Sasuke would have done this a while ago. With Sakura smothering against his torso, snugly locked her legs around his waist and continuously pushed her body up to get way from the waving water. To ignore the arousing state of his body was definitely stupid. The teasing was painfully overwhelming even when it was not on purpose. Sakura had no idea and was too panic to notice the lust filled orbs gazing at her.

Knowing that she was safe in that position, Sakura stayed, clinging to Sasuke's head with her arms and legs around his chest, right under his armpits. The poor man's face buried deep between the alluring softness.

Assured that her hysterically episode had died, Sasuke pulled the girl down a bit so that there was enough space for him to breath. Looking up, obsidian met the freaked orbs, still jumpy from being in the deep pool. It didn't matter how hard he tried to keep their gaze, a torture to him to ignore the shaking bouncing breast covered by a green lacy bra and a soaked see-through tee shirt. His face were practically massaged by the softness. The faint erection of her nipples grazed his cheeks.

"Can't swim?"

"N-noo…no no no no no ..." Her voice was fast and jumpy to match the pace of her breathing.

"Ah." He moved around until the water reached his chin. Sasuke stood with Sakura still attached to him, not showing a sign of release.

Tightly closed her eyes, she held on to him for her dear soul. Thinking Sasuke was walking to the edge, she calmed down once he stopped moving. Sadly, if only Sasuke wasn't such a tease.

"SASUKE-KUN!" Realized, they were nowhere near the edge she gave him an ear full.

"Hn." He responded with a smirk. Rested both his hands on her thighs, lazily peeled away her shaking legs. "Don't let go." A warning to notify the trembling girl before freeing her hold and sneaked his hands toward the front of her shorts. Taking his warning, Sakura locked her arms tighter. Her body heated up from head to toes from knowing his motive.

"Sasuke-kun… don't…" She wiggled her hips to stop him from completely stripped off her garment. To Sakura's distress, her movement was restricted from the water splattering around.

Not listening, he was too excited from the tempting body. Sasuke couldn't pull his eyes away from the floating shirt, ready to be taken off her luscious body.

Tugging, pulling, whining, a short moment later, Sakura's shorts and shirt was floating away along with Sasuke's swim trunk.

"Where do you think you're kicking…Sakura…" Safely separated her legs away from between his crotch, he was amused seeing her blushing face when realized her feet had been tapping against his member, exciting it.

"Ack." Almost retracted her arms from his neck, but luckily, Sasuke's strong captive arms held her back.

"Hold on." The husky voice reminded her. So smooth and soft, his hands couldn't stay in one place. It roamed from the base of her neck til the bottom of her butt. So much from the full contact they felt. Each motion, each harsh breath she heaved and every inch he touched, an episode of chill ran their nerves, like needle points tickling their skin with ant-bite pokes. So addictive, so strange, a wash of electric rushed through their systems.

Crushing her body to his, and he swam to the side before lifting her body up with him standing in the pool.

Panting, "Ah…ah… ah… why did you …" Arms crossed to cover her lack of garments. Sakura was flabbergasted by his action, always pulling random stunts like that.

Standing with the water up to his rib, Sasuke leaned up and reminded her of their first contact. It had been a while. Regardless of the time span, Sasuke knew the past weeks with her were indescribable. The incident by this poolside was like a spur of instant that turned momentous. That raw emotion and sensation instinctively made him feel peculiar. But the more and more she stayed by his side, the more and more he wanted, needed. Greedy, he had become obsessed with this Angel. Not just her body, but everything, Sasuke audaciously developed this fetish for the pinkette.

"Doesn't this bring back memory…" He said, touching the surface they had laid on.

Blushed, Sakura lowered her head and nodded, scenes of that moment never erased from her mind. Shuddered a little when his calloused hand cupped her cheek with affection and pushed his body up with the other arm, Sakura stared to his dark orbs wanting to tell him something, but couldn't. The words were at the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't bring herself to articulate the sound. Thinking back, to the time before that moment, it was unbelievable how she had never experienced what a real kiss was, let along the amazing touches he delicately bestowed. Maybe 'delicately' was not the right word at that time, but as they became more familiar with each other, his touches always felt heavenly. Even when she had a vague idea in the back of her mind, Sakura never thought to experience such act in a passionate manner with him. The thing they did and could do was still foreign. Guilty, she wanted more.

"Do you want to know… what I wanted to do to you before you passed out?" He leaned further in. Hand grazed her inner thigh with up and down motion. The simple touch aroused her mind, her body eased to the soft sensation running through her nerves. Placing her hand on his shoulders, she gripped and released it in the pattern of his stroke. Anticipation was making her senses mad as his fingers moved near to her covered core, then backed away.

"Do you… Sakura?" He asked again. Pleased to see how lost he had made her, just from the innocent contact.

Embarrassed from the moans that had already escaped her lips, Sakura hid her head completely, showing him only the top of her cranium. Curled her fingers into her palm, Sakura brought it up to bite the index knuckle, blocking the whimpering sound of plead.

"Ah. Ah. Don't hide it." He pulled her hand away, and thoroughly kissed it with delight. He could taste that similar salty taste.

"Sasuke-kun…" Both hand retracted to cover her face; Sakura couldn't describe the sensation overwhelming her body. The irresistible commotion she became addicted to since he had initiated this contact.

Chuckled. "Sakura I can't hold it back anylonger." Seeing her like that was unbearable. Naive, her mind, no matter what he did, that pureness and innocent wouldn't leave her. Carefully, he pushed the slender shoulders back, crashing his lips to cherry pink lips. It was too hard to keep his body away for an extended period of time. Sasuke was amazed at himself how he didn't jump the girl earlier when they were fooling around. It took a lot of respect and will power, but even so, he, no matter what, was still a man. He was a man with desirable thoughts and needs of satisfaction that currently only this Angel possessed. Sasuke had concluded that, the first moment he touched her, she was the only woman to make him feel, really feel. It wasn't just simply an act of release but it was something more. So much more, that he was willing to wait. He wanted to experience that feeling to the fullest. Therefore, he would initiate and patiently wait until she was ready. Nonstop hoping the right moment to come quickly because he would go insane one of these days if she kept on flaunting ... 'damn it.'

Still that same location, still that intensity, but now with powerful mutual desire that ignited between them. His hand ran over her smooth soft body, still drenched from the water. Resting his palm on her waist with the other propping her neck, he twirled his head around to taste every cervix of the delicious cavern. Tongues licking, snaking along inside their mouths, taste buds electrified from each caress.

Flinging her arms around his neck, she pulled her body up to glide against his. Her thighs widened for his waist to sink more, allowing them the pleasuring contact. Their skins, soaked in sweat and chlorine, slithered with friction, totally enticed by the contact. Even the most hidden points were burning, begging to be caressed.

"Mmh…" Kiss. "w-aa-ait.." Kiss. "Mmmah…" Bite. She bit his lip to warn him off for a chance to breathe. Exhausted lungs were crying in desperation.

"Arg…" Sasuke withdrew his face and looked down at the panting girl in shock. It wasn't a hard bite, but it was enough to turn him on, which was the opposite of what she wanted. Not giving her anymore time to replenish her lungs, their lips bounded again but only for a second since Sasuke had something else in his mind. Been wanting to dry her sodden skin with his tongue, he proceeded his fantasy. Sakura didn't seen to have any objection to it since she practically dissolved from his touch. Even if she did, her mind was lost in bliss, too weak to stop him. Or… was he the one excessively lost in bliss to stop. It didn't matter. Neither of them cared once he began.

"Ooohhh…" From her lips, his tongue traveled down the center of her navel. Dipping the tip to twirl around the hollow of her neck, he licked his way up her collarbone to the right shoulder. The light green bra strap was removed with his teeth as his hand ran up to unclasp the hook. The bra was forgotten on the side when the pinkness peeked from the loosed garment.

His eyes glued to the soft pale mounds with the cherry nipples stood erected, teasing him, luring him to kiss it, touch it, and lick it. Famished, Sasuke didn't waste another second, his lips immediately latched over her tip, completely sucking it like a newborn baby.

"Ah!..AH!..." She squirmed and thrashed her head side to side from the escalating stimulation that ravaged her senses. Too oblivious with the pleasure, Sakura had no recollection of how her underwear was removed. Detangling his face from her delicious mounds after he had his full of both, Sasuke took a detour and traveled south. Pouring a tiny amount of his strength to keep the excited body down. The girl wouldn't stop fidgeting her hip, flailing her limps.

Feverishly kissing his way down her flat stomach, with occasional nibs and licks, he pulled his hand from her neck and side to bend her knees. Kneeling in the middle, he straightened up.

'Wow' A jaw-dropping sight it was. Pink tresses splattered across the pavement. Sakura's arms crossed over her eyes to protect from the brightness of the sun or a way to cover her face, flustered from aroused. Her nipples throbbed after his stimulation, were still hard and luring. The soft pale mounds were strikingly soft and touchable, so hard to keep his hand away. The pattern of her harsh panting stirred his controlled. He wanted to hear her moans, her cries of his name.

Lightly huffing, he took a moment to stabilize his mind before taking a dive to her awaiting sweetness. The scent of her womanhood ruptured through his nose, impaling his brain, made him utterly frustrated, if possible, more aroused than he could. This sexual tension was too harsh on his mentality, he found himself loosing the common sanity as he gaze, taking in every details. From the shape of her patch of pink curls above the swelling lips. The pink lustrous teasing clit shines brightly from the lubrication of her fresh cum glistering under the daylight, dripping down her folds. More and more discreetly seeped as the tensity increased from his long stare.

Tickling the sensitive nerve with his nose, he nuzzled his face closer. Her juice drenching with the sweat and pool water tasted... 'Ahhhhhhh'

Lick. "Ah" Green emeralds shot open. The forceful strokes thrilled her spine. Her hip buckled forward from reaction.

Lick. "AH!" Tightly bit her lips, Sakura bent her neck, curving her chest from the mind awakening shock.

Kiss. His face buried between her legs, bobbing up and down from each lick, each kiss. 'Delicious.' What else could he say? Tasty, scrumptious, luscious, delectable, mouth-watering… Yes. Mouth-watering. That was the word. Perfect to describe the state of his mouth, filled with the secretion of her unique tang he had lapped up.

Sakura's hysteric cries of pleasure encouraged him, making the bloody adrenaline pumping through his vein.

"Ahhh...hhh...!" Mouth dried from gasping nonstop, she swallowed hard with her eyes tightly closed. Flustered, her face was red from excitement, writhed with arousing expressions.

Lick. Lick… His tongue was moving on its own. In and out, he tasted her outer lips with delight. Side to side, she went mad from the sudden change. Licking with the tip of his tongue to flick her throbbing clit. He could feel her inner wall contracted in between the harsh breathing.

Wet soaking sound from each lick reached her ears, added to the agonizing state she was already trapped in. It was hopeless to reject this madness. Sakura was loosing by the second. Every part of her body already had lost the will to repudiate. Her mind was lingering between the states of conscious and intuition. No matter how in daze she was, Sakura was sure, the moment he touched her, her sanity flown off in to space. Mindlessly, not caring of anything but their current position.

"Oh… SAASU…" She was near, so very close. "OH… aaa…!" Grabbing a handful of his hair, she pushed his head deeper. He complied with her need and quickened his strokes, working his talented muscle.

Frantically, Sakura jolted up right to squeeze his head. "AHHH!" Completely letting it go, a forceful wash of indescribable burst exploded. Steady her knees, keeping it from choking his neck while she released, Sasuke cleaned up the fresh cum that trickled from her folds. He slowed down to catch every drops. Flattening, pushing the whole tongue against her lips, he gradually dragged upward, slightly bringing her hip with him.

A couple excruciating times like that, she came again. Hard and fast, it hit her unexpectedly. She didn't even think it was possible but the raw intense sensation of pleasure was a veritable wash of orgasmic eruption.

Worn out, the girl simply loosened the grip and slowly fell back. Her knees went limp from the spasm discharge, major muscles couldn't hold up any longer.

"Sa-s-ssuke…kun…" She felt his tongue stayed in place, inside. Not daring to move, motionless, she waited. Anticipation of his incoming move made her frustrated. Until she felt the slippery muscle made a movement forward, Sakura suddenly squeezed her wall out of control. An inarticulate cry thrashed out from the fleeting commotion. Unable to contain, her arms stretched out to push his head away before her sanity burst to pieces.

Removing his face from her core, Sasuke crawled up to face the hazing emeralds. Pleased to find her expression twisted with exhilaration from his doings.

"I just want to know how deep I can taste you…" Unnerving, a maverick comment, his arrogant personality was a pain.

Giving up, she didn't know what to say. All she could do was pulled him down to hide her blushing face. Whimpering lips complained his randomness.

The moment of rest was over, Sasuke, once again, took the lead. With her body still cling to his, he made a tiny adjustment and moved his hip up and down.

"!" Sakura felt it, alright. Hard, and lengthy, he had been in this painful state for a long while.

"So…" He lowered his crotch more. Discreetly, humping her core as he whispered suggestions of what they should do next. What position? What movement? On top or sitting up. Fast or slow. Where should he kiss, touch? Uncensored words flowed in to her ear.

Hard to speak, she breathed each word with difficulty between the moans. "J-just-t … t-hiss… Ah… s-sta-ay … l-lik-e t-his-s...uhahh…" It was good enough for him.

Such lewdly movement, not much, but it was enough to keep the heat burning passionately between them. From superficial penetrative move, he mimicked the motion of actuality, thrusting his hips to stimulate her with his hard, engorged length. The swelling balls continuously slapped against her bottoms. His tip grazed up and down her slippery wet opening, teasing the external part of her virginal lips.

From slow and shallow, the tempo changed. Unable to cease the sporadic spasm of his hip from the act, Sasuke tried to lift his waist away, carefully, not wanting to make a wrong move because of his inability to think straight once they reached that point of no return.

Changing the position, Sasuke turned over to pull the girl away from the rough ground and over his bareness.

"You try …" He told her. It was much safer for Sakura to take over than having him on top. A plunge to his pride but who knew what one slip could lead to? He wasn't going to take the risk.

A short moment to compose herself, Sakura began to raise her body. Shyly sitting up, her thigh cradled his waist temptingly.

"C-close y-your eyes…" She was shaking above, covering her jiggling breasts from his view.

"Nope." One arm folded under his head, the other rested on her creamy thigh, drenched with sweat and ...

The view was quite enjoyable from where he lay. The bright ray shined upon her porcelain tone, making her glow with lustrous gloss. Silently counted the old and new love bites on her skin, he was satiated with the number upon her front, not counting the ones on the inner thighs and back. Sasuke always marked his territories. Possessive? Yes. Insane? Almost there.

"…" She pouted, finding it hard to keep an eye contact with him even when she wanted to. The way his gaze was directing toward her, the movement it made, scanning her expose body. Sakura found it unnerving. Maybe it was because they were out in the open air and under the bright light.

"What's wrong now…? You've been on top before. More than once..." He amusedly teased her. His fingers skipped upon her creamy thigh. Her muscles constricted, clenching his length.

Blushed madly from his comment, Sakura felt conscious. "It's … strange …" She shifted a bit, feeling his member pulsating underneath.

He shuddered. "How so?" Lowly grunted. Sasuke should receive an award for his endurance.

"Uhm… I don't know." She flopped back down on his chest, buried her face in the nape of his neck.

That teasing nips scraped over the chiseled torso, tickling his skin. Sasuke moved his hand from her thigh to stroke her back tenderly.

Chuckle. "That's not a valid answer Sakura."

"Yes it is …" A childish retort she made.

Sliding his hand down under the base of her buttock, he grabbed a hold of one side and began moving her hip forward and back. Leading her body in the direction, he wanted.

"Then like this?" He suggested. His other hand joined, grabbing her thighs to move her trembling form over his groin. Succulent secretion from her core covered his length. Starting at the base, shallow movement fluidly rushed across his member. The pressure applied was torturing his urges.

Moan. "Uhm…" Taken as a yes from her, Sasuke removed his hand to let Sakura run the course. It took a while, but once she started. He was on cloud nine. Her front was physically massaging his skin with the devilish curve of her flesh.

Up and down.

Forward and back.

Every nerve was tingling with appalling numbness.

Vaginal lips slithered back and forth. It left his sexually frustrated mind with fantasies, imagining the feeling of having those lips wrapped around his member. Time slipped by as they continued, mind raping each other with breathtaking stimulation.

DINNG DONG…

"F-Faster…" He grunted. Helping her once more to reach that desirable pace, his hands returned to its original position and began pulling and pushing the little body. Rocking back and forth to increase the intimation of clitoral contact, throwing them off and in to obliteration, lost in blissful lust.

"Ah. AH…" Hysterically crying her moans in to his ear, her arms wrapped around his neck for support.

DINNG DONG…

The annoying doorbell wanted to interrupt their moment, but even Sakura, who usually would use the disruptive sound for her advantage to stop the aroused man, didn't even want to bother with it. They ignored the ring as it echoed through the speakers.

DINNG DONG…

"Don't s-stop…" He hoarsely grunted when her movement hesitated a little. The slippery moisture increased as a stream of pre-cum seeped from his tip. It trickled down the side of his lower abdomen. Lifting his hip to amplify the act, he thrust slightly up to add pressure, making a jolt of electrocuting uproar spiked their nerves.

"Uwhahhh…" A stray of gibberish poured from her parted lips. Digging her hand into his locks, she grabbed a chunk of it to signal her coming. Lower body tensed from the knots stirring her inside.

DINNG DONG…

Who ever at the door was persistence. But it was the least of importance. All they could think of was the awaiting explosion building up for the perfect moment.

Sporadic, they humped against each other madly. She gripped on to him for all the worth of her sanity. Sasuke achieved the point of fanatical provocation. Frantically moved their hips, squishing, tugging the throbbing member in between. Lust filled eyes experienced flashing whiteness. And before they knew…

"AH!" Sakura was the first to wash her system for the third time. The sudden pleasure made her back curved up sharply. Explosive, it drowned his crotched with her juice. Nonstop releasing her sweet honey, her body shivered as it continued to rub against the swollen member, ready to burst.

'Almost.' Rough hands tightly gripped her thighs to increase the friction, not realizing the discomfort he was creating to the worn out body. Sakura was too exhausted to take another session without rest. Harshly, he move along her lowered lips with rapid momentum, frustrated from feeling it building up.

Couldn't take anymore enticement, Sakura lifted her hip and boldly grabbed his tip with the space in between, pumping it. Her hand tugged his sensitive length rapidly but with gentle caress.

"!" The unexpected contact of her hand ignited his discharge. Eyes rolled back. Mouth parted, panting hard. Involuntary breakout of his muscle with a series of rhythmic contractions, Sasuke was flushed empty. With force, a torrent of semen shot from his tip, pouring onto the dandy hand and dripping to his stomach.

Gasping, he simply knocked his head back onto to pavement, enjoying the aftermath satisfaction.

Simultaneously panting, their chest rose up and down. Sakura sprawling over his hip stared down at the hazing orbs returning from the ninth cloud. It wasn't long but she got the chance to see his face clearly. Quite a sight she got too. He looked so lost afterward. The way his eyes lazily gazing at with a smirk made Sakura giggled all awhile she tried to regain her composure.

Back to earth. "Wasn't that a nice surprise?" He chuckled. Never would he anticipate such action. It made him breathless. A temptress, a naughty one, she had become.

"Don't …" She begged him not to recall. It would turn into another teasing session and they would start again. Tired, Sakura lay down back on his equally heated body.

Sasuke buried his hand in her dampen locks. Puckering his lips, he lightly nipped her neck, savoring her skin. A soft mewing moan escaped her throat as she wriggled about.

They enjoyed the instant of laziness in that position. Little touch here, little nip there, full body contact was amazing. Then with the soft breathings, their frantic nerves soothed down.

DING DONG…

It came back. Both heads lifted up in the direction of the front door inside, wondering whom. Sakura carefully detangled her body from his and lay on the other side as Sasuke sat up and rustling his hair in annoyance.

"Who…?" About to get up, Sakura reached to grab her panty but the garment was soaked which reminded her that the rest of her attire was still floating in the pool. Groaning she searched for her bra. "Huh?"

Not finding it where she thought it would be, Sakura looked up to meet Sasuke's bare backside, walking away in the direction of the living room door.

"Sasuke-kun, where are you going with my bra?" She looked away when he turned around, nude as ever.

"Hn. Greeting Ino with it so she fuck off." Sasuke was still holding grudges against the stylish for stealing Sakura last week and made him spend a day trailing after them with Shikamaru.

"WAh. Cover your self." She threw a towel his way.

"Hn. Don't worry. You're the only one seeing it." Smirking as he walked away, wrapping the towel around his waist, still with the green lacy bra in hand.

She blushed and sat down. While covering her body with a towel, Sakura remembered. Ino was going out the for whole day with Shikamaru. A few days back, she gloated about it to Hinata and her. "Then the person at the door...could it be…" She mumbled to herself.

Rapid memory rushed back in her head. It was Sunday.

Jumping to her feet, Sakura ran to the glass door. "Sasuke-kun. Don't open the door yet. Put the bra away!"

She stopped at the garden entrance like a lifeless ghost. In her mind, she feared to see Ryu at the door. The poor boy would be either scarred for life or turned into mini Sasuke. Not that it was a taboo or anyt-… 'This is not the right time to think of that.' Twitching her eyes, Sakura stood aloof holding the towel tight around her body. Looking at the guests at the door, she miserably wished she had the ability to be invisible.

However, Sasuke didn't really care, he stood there with the bra in his hand and the other gripped the handle with force. He wanted to slam it shut but…

"You have five minutes to dress." Before Sasuke could respond, Fugaku walked inside with Hana followed closely behind.
