First off, this fanfiction is not ending after Sasuke and Sakura 'marry' owo I dunno where some people are getting that idea, but nope xD I'm not done yet. Not even close. And second, I'm sorry that Fugaku was...ooc? ono I didn't think he was totally ooc on my part. Yes, yes, I know that Uchiha Fugaku is a buttface and emotionless, much like hsi youngest son with the chicken-ass; but for this story, Fugaku has more of a soft spot for those who his wife really care for - in which this case is Sakura, since Mikoto is her 'cutie' and all that. But that doesn't matter, really. Fanfictions are meant to play around with characters, so that's what I do :D Hopefully you're still enjoying yourselves.

I probably wouldn't be able to update sooner without her, so please send all your love to Lexi c: She's a beautiful sweetheart and I am so happy to know her *-* Go read her stories and make her some cupcakes, okay?

On a another special note, I had my very first tumblr Review for this fanfiction ;w; Winnie submitted this and I fell over crying like a baby. Thank you Winnie for doing something so sweet; I totally don't deserve it, but I'm so happy with the honest review QwQ Kitty loves you!

Tasting Flesh

Chapter Twenty-Three

Sasuke continously flicked his thumbnail against the skin of his middle finger, putting slight pressure into it so that he may feel something on his flesh. Being lazy with it, however, he wasn't able to make himself bleed like he wanted to. Sitting in his throne, Sasuke could smell the faint scent of Sakura on the cushion, and then he instantly went into his really old habit of trying to prick his skin out of mere depression - he really hasn't done something like this, unless it was on the two occassions: when his brother left, and when he realized he can't see Sakura for a long time after putting her barriers inside her mind. It took something horrific to make Sasuke depressed, actually, and he was a hard man to break his usual stoic-emotion...

However, this situation involving Sakura, was absolutely tearing him apart on the inside.

"Sasu-chan?" Mikoto chirped shyly, leaning towards her youngest child to try and meet his eyes. "Sasuke, you can't ignore this, you know... It's not going to be-!"

"I said yes to her, Mother," he said suddenly, not looking up from his pricking or to look at his parent. Sasuke's eyes darkened as he frowned deeper. "I wanted to reject her, but I end up saying yes...because, she knows I won't say no to her."

"Oh, she doesn't know that!" Mikoto defended with puffed cheeks. "If anything, she just wanted you to know that she trusts you completely! You really have nothing to worry about, honey; you're just nervous."

"Nervous." Sasuke's voice was deadpanned as his head turned in an eerie way to startle Mikoto for only a moment. Mikoto blinked with curiosity before smiling sweetly. "You think...I am nervous about claiming Sakura's body as mine?"

"Well, yeah!" Mikoto giggled cutely with a toothly grin. "You think you might tear her to shreds, or rip her in half, or...Fugaku-kun, what else could happen?" she asked out loud to her husband, who was standing by the window with a wineglass.

Fugaku's black eyes peeked at his wife before shaking his head with a frown. "My dear, do not stress Sasuke any more then he already is. This is not an easy time for him. He needs to be alone from his mo-."

"Don't tell me what my child doesn't need!" Mikoto hissed with narrowed eyes. "I'm his mother; I gave birth to him, therefore I know my baby better then you!"

Sasuke watched as his parents had a stare-down for a moment until his father twitched and looked away. "Mikoto, I believe Sasuke simply afraid that he could kill Sakura if he is not careful with her in bed. Now, if you think about it, darling, wouldn't you feel the same as Sasuke if you could easily overpower your lover?"

Mikoto sighed herself and picked up her own wineglass, looking at the red content with a thirsty gaze. "I suppose. But, then again, this was bound to come sooner then later... Am I right, boys?" she gazed at both of her dearest family members, making them cringe a bit at the fire in her eyes as she dared them to try and deny her. After closing her eyes, the Queen took a long swig of the wine, being elegant enough to raise her pinky finger. "If you waited any longer, Sasuke, she could easily be carried away and devoured by something else in this world; and I know for a fact that you wouldn't stand for it, my son."

"No, I wouldn't," Sasuke sniffed with a deep frown. "But I most certainly wouldn't stand for the idea of bedding her when I can barely control myself."

"Excuse me?" Fugaku blinked as he made his way over to sit in between his son and wife.

Sasuke nodded. "When she was in my bed, my senses were...hazy," he strained to explain. "I got her to leave before I tore something apart." Raising his hand, he gripped his wrist hard to look at the veins becoming visible in his skin. "It was like I didn't have any control over my body at all; like my Demon side knew what Sakura was offering to me, and wasn't hesitating to devour her flesh like a crazed animal."

"But you're not a crazed animal, honey," Mikoto hushed sweetly, making Sasuke close his eyes in a grunt. The slender woman stood up to place herself onto her love's lap, wrapping her arms around Fugaku as she rest her temple against his hot neck. "Why do you feel like you're going to do such a weak thing?"

"Uchihas are not weak, Sasuke," Fugaku said with a dominant voice, his back straight on his throne and only one hand holding his wife's hip. "If you keep yourself deep in your intentions, there is really nothing to be scared about."

"What about irony, hn?" Sasuke challenged his father with a raised brow. The question had Fugaku look to meet his son's eyes, both narrowing in an internal fight.

"Sasuke," Fugaku scolded with a dry grunt of a laugh, "Uchihas don't believe in irony."

"I can't believe my Saku-chan is getting married! Oh my God, I totally want to plan your outfit for tonight, do you hear me? You're not going to pick out silly pyjamas or a granny nightgown, got it? It's a great thing you have the same sizes as Mommy; she totally wouldn't mind if she gave you one of her old lingerie that she doesn't wear anymore." Yamanaka Ino gushed and cooed constantly as she dug in Sakura's drawers and chests inside the head Uzumaki household, flinging out random pieces of fabric or a shoe the blonde oh-so-graciously packed for her best friend while she was going back and forth between worlds. She didn't stop until she emptied the whole box, thus moving herself to the next one.

Sitting on her bed, Sakura watched shyly with the pregnant Demon as Ino fumed and fell back onto the ground. "What happened to the Ino who didn't want me to have any physical contact with Sasuke-kun? Did she die or something..?"

"Pfft!" Ino puffed her cheeks and glared at her best friend. "What are you talking about, girl? I was just protecting you until the day Sasuke would take you for his wife, damn it! No way in fucking hell would I let that Uchiha asshole purposely seduce you and do - What? I don't know! He could shove his fingers in you," she explained with a straight face as she crept her hands up Sakura's leg, making the pink-haired teen screech and hit Ino with a sandal. "You can totally picture what he could do to you before marriage, and I wouldn't have it! I want my Sakura-chan to have a perfect wedding, got it? And I will have it!"

Blushing hard, Sakura crossed her legs and scooched behind Hinata, who giggled lightly. "Geez, I didn't know this thing would be such a big deal," Sakura complained as she laid herself down. "Especially with Ino acting like a mother on her daughter's wedding day, I think I regret ever telling her..."

"Y-you shouldn't," Hinata hummed thoughtfully. "It would easily spread through the castle and compound, th-then Ino would...p-probably attack you before you and S-Sasuke-sama could-."

"Hush now, and let me do my magic!" Ino announced with both of her hands raised into the air. Just as Naruto and Sasori entered in the doorway, the Yamanaka woman snarled and chucked her heels at them. "NO MEN ALLOWED!"

"Jesus Christ!" Sasori gaped as he easily dodged the shoe while Naruto was clueless enough to recieve a sole on his whiskered face. "Ino, stop acting like a child and take this!" Tossing a sealed box over to her, Ino caught it with ease before looking at him with a questioning glare. "It's a gift from Chiyo, got it? So, don't go trashing the Uzumaki's household anymore, you got it, kid?"

Peeking into the box, Ino snickered with a pervish smile as she crawled on her rear to the corner, hugging the object at hand and refusing to look at anyone else as Sasori turned his attention to the ladies occupying the bed with wide eyes. Sakura instantly got herself up and hugged her brother-figure, complaining how his lack of appearance was upsetting her.

"I'm sorry," Sasori apologized, patting her head. "I have been busy with the population of the lowlife Demons; Fugaku has asked me and Deidara to take care of it for him."

"You couldn't left a message?" she pouted.

Changing the subject, Sasori simply smiled and pinched her cheeks lovingly. "So, I hear that tonight is your wedding? I must say that I am happy to hear that this is finally getting done. Those lowlives are gettin very reckless. I personally can't say anything against that, but you better not pounce on Sasuke-sama when you get the chance!"

Sakura smacked him on the arm, earning an actual wince from the redhead. Since she started training with Kakashi or Ino, she has been controlling her strength with great skills; she has impressed Mikoto frequently with her new power. Learning about chakra has been proven helpful for her.

"Don't be a pervert, Nii-chan," Sakura scolded as Hinata helped herself up onto her feet and proceeded to her husband with his new bruise. "So, what did Chiyo-baachan give Ino-chan? It's not her birthday until September, you know."

"It's not for Ino, sweetie," Sasori chuckled teasingly before kissing her forehead and disappearing. She only learned recently that high ranked Demons can disappear with their chakra, or inhance their speeds to make it seem like they had evaporated from thin air.

Sakura's heart sped when she looked at Ino, who was paying no mind to who was looking as she pulled out a thin garment-top; a pinkish-red see-through material that would drape around the ribs and belly of a female and a bloody-colored bra installed with laced lining. And, from what Sakura could see from standing up, there was a matching pair on underwear in the box.

"Hey...Hinata-chan," Sakura swallowed with red cheeks. "W-what is it like for a woman's first time?"

The dark haired Demon looked up from her husband, somewhat surprised by the sudden question, she watched the Forbidden Flower press her palm on her lower stomach and got onto her knees slowly. It was like she was going to become ill suddenly.

"I know...that it's suppose to hurt for the first time," she went on shyly, catching Naruto and Ino's attention now as her shoulders shook. "But...how bad does it hurt?"

"Are you having second thoughts, Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked with great concern. Ino asked the same thing as the blonde woman crawled closer to her friend and sat next to her. Naruto looked at his wife with a worried brow, and, reading the unsaid request, Hinata smiled and pressed a polite kiss to Naruto's lips before he got up to leave. "If you ladies need anything, just shout..."

Hinata waited until Naruto left the room to speak. "Is th-that what you're worried about, Sakura-chan..?"

"I know that Sasuke-kun wouldn't hurt me for anything," Sakura responded with a shiver. "I-I mean, he doesn't want to hurt me, and I know that! But, you know, there's still...you know? Am I making any sense?"

"No," Ino stuck out her tongue with a confused heave of her shoulder.

Hinata smiled and poked Ino's nose with a motherly giggle. "Yes, I do, Sakura-chan. And y-you don't need to try and explain yourself," she said softly, placing her other hand on Sakura's shoulder. "F-for my experience, and from other s-stories I have heard, it does hurt for a lady's first time for a woman. Although, I h-have reason to believe that Sasuke-sama w-would do his very best to make sure you would be safe."

"Sasuke-kun has no control over what goes on in my body, does he?" Sakura asked with a somewhat hopeful look in her emerald eyes. "Can he make sure that it doesn't hurt?"

"Sasuke-sama is a Demon God...not Mother Nature," Hinata whispered, making Ino laugh hard as Sakura paled. "But, I-I think Sasuke-sama would understand that you do not w-want to go through with this, Sakura-chan. He's a g-good man when it comes to you."

"Do you want to stop it, Sakura-chan?" Ino asked quietly, not becoming her usual hyper-active and loud self, but rather, more gentle and careful with her best friend. "I can get it taken cared of, if you want me to-."

"No, please don't," Sakura bursted out with wide eyes, her lip pouting. "Don't tell Sasuke-kun anything, okay?"

"But why?" Ino complained. "If you're nervous and scared about it, then tell someone about it! You have people that will support you about it, you know. Don't go through something you're not ready for!"

"Ino-chan is right, Sakura-chan," Hinata said with a small smile. "Sasuke-sama wouldn't do anything if you are not wanting something. He would understand."

Gripping her dress with both hands, Sakura looked down and nibbled her bottom lip with a concern in her own thoughts. Ino waited patiently and was becoming a bit more restless as time went on and Sakura still hasn't said anything. Hinata was able to notice this quickly and push herself onto her feet, using the wall as a support, and beckoned Ino to come up as well.

"We will l-leave you alone for a while, S-Sakura-chan," Hinata whispered quietly as she took Ino's hand and led her out of the door. "We will come b-back in a little while to s-see how you are holding up."

Ino didn't protest and didn't want to stress her best friend anymore then she probably already had. She left with Hinata willingly and left the mute teenager alone with her thoughts. Slumping her shoulders back onto the bed, Sakura stared at the ceiling with a blank expression, her bottom lip still quivering constantly as she clenched and unclenched her skirt.

"What will I do...if I'm too scared?" she asked herself outloud, closing her eyes softly as she tried to relax herself. Trying to come up with a solution for her problem, Sakura tried to play around with herself and Sasuke to see what she could do if she told Sasuke her insecurites.

'Then have Sasuke-sama put it off until you are ready,' Rin spoke quietly, trying to be soothing for her successor as much as possible.

Sakura blew air into her cheeks and whined into her pillow. Her chest was twisting and knotting painfully, she could feel the blood souring through her veins at a rapid pace, nearly causing a migrane in her skull. She simply couldn't take it anymore, could she?

'It's either now, or never,' Sakura declared loudly, causing Rin to lean away from her. 'I would rather die because I tried, not because I waited and someone else takes me instead!'

Sasuke walked in the deserted corridor of the north wing of the Uchiha Castle, thinking numbly of what he should do for tonight's events. With only the noise of his shoes clicking against the stoned tiles, the prince of the Uchiha Kingdom knew he was alone; the very word alone was stitched into his bones as it reminded him of years ago, when his brother became a traitor to his own family. Stopping by an open window, Sasuke looked out to the overview of the Kingdom, where small houses and shops stood in clumps and streets in long strings of rocks. Some lanterns and torches were lit brightly, acting like still fireflies in corners and inside homes; he could feel the happiness the villagers had, and he could just see how every parent or elder would go to bed and dream in peace. It was honestly a beautiful sight for a future King to see.

But for now, Sasuke's mind was crowded with worry and fear.

Sasuke can't imagine what he is going to do tonight. He could half expect Sakura waiting for him back in the bedroom to go sleep, or she could be expecting something else for the night - whether Sasuke is or not, which he actually had prepared himself for years for this day, he couldn't hold the idea of actually pulling through with it.

Last night, Sasuke was able to touch her skin freely while she slept, this rough thumbs stroking her cheek and knuckled gently touching her spine - and how she sighed everytime he brushed his fingers upward, making his senses tingle. He could kiss her cheek and neck, and she would blush in her sleep; he was gentle and he was very sweet, not touching anything he shouldn't without permission.

It was dangerous, yes, but Sasuke was a Demon God. And Demon Gods don't slip up on their animalistic instinct - it was simply out of their character. Especially Uchihas.

On him was a thick robe, made specifically for walking in the cold night like this. Nothing was underneath but his pants, which is how he usually slept in his bed - with or without Sakura, if he even wanted to sleep alone in the first place. He used to sit in his bedroom shirtless and worked on his weapons to take down anything that would bring his Kingdom harm, sharpening or polishing the lowlife's blood off with a blank gaze the whole time.

Reminding himself that he needed to dispose of his clean weapons into the storage closet, Sasuke made his way in the narrow hallway that led into darkness, where his bedroom's hall was waiting for him. Once he made his way to his shouji door, he instantly smelled the sweet scent of Sakura on the other side of the paper door.

Sasuke swallowed.

Unclenching his stiff fingers, Sasuke gripped the hardwood frame and slid it open, trying his best to look normal and cool as ever, since he portays himself to be totally stoic. He didn't look at the pink haired teen when her head turned to see him step into his bedroom and sliding the door closed.

"Hey, Sasuke-kun," Sakura said quietly, obviously nervous being around him. He finally looked at her to see the red cheeks of shyness as she smiled at him cutely. "How was your day?"

"Mm." He couldn't open his mouth. Sasuke would only make noises through his lips.

Sakura, wearing a similar robe to Sasuke's, stood up from the hardwood-floor and carefully walked over to him. Her smile didn't falter as she slipped her skinny arms around him and buried her face into the plushed material of his covers, hooking her fingers tightly to hold on. "You must be tired from training, right? Naruto told me once about what you and Fugaku-sama do to train, and it always sounds to harsh and tough. But I assume you're used to it, ne?"

"...Aa," he nodded, his long fingers reaching to touch her hair. Sasuke stiffened and bit his lip when her skull snuggled against his chest.

Her skull could easily crumble like a vase in his hands...

"You shouldn't overwork yourself," she said simply, finally looking up to him to meet his black eyes. She smiled. "You are very strong, Sasuke-kun, but you need to rest to restore energy."

He blinked. 'Is she not..? Did she forget?'

As if reading his eyes, Sakura's eyes soften a little bit as her red cheeks deepened. "I...thought it over, Sasuke-kun," she said firstly,"about how you are...worried about that. I thought it over, and-!" She suddenly fell silent, as if shutting herself off and pouted.

"And?" he pressed, his brows furrowed with impatience.

Sakura puffed her cheeks and buried her face into his chest out of stress. "I will...wait until you wish to go on with it. I feel myself being selfish in asking so much from you in a short time, so I won't ask for anything like that from you, Sasuke-kun. I don't want to be selfish; I just want you to know that I trust you with all of my being."

Sakura shut her eyes tightly and hugged him a bit tighter. "You mean a lot to me, and I love you, Sasuke-kun."

She waited for him to push her away, or anything to express his disappointment or relief in the situation, but nothing came. Sakura stood still with her arms around him, and it wasn't until the fingers lightly touching her hair suddenly knotted themselves at the back of her skull; no pain as Sasuke pulled her head back and smashed his mouth against her's. Emerald eyes widened in shock as his other arm snaked around her tiny waist and smashed her lithe body against him, feeling the radiating heat that suddenly put the cold bedroom into the pits of hell boiling her skin.

And, with that said, Sakura knew what he was saying.

.

.

.

You don't need to wait for me anymore.

.

.

.

I have made mistakes, and I have regrets...

.

.

.

But the thing I know is real is that I love you, my sweetheart.

.

.

.

And I won't wait anymore.

.

.

.

Not tonight.

.

.

.

Sasuke cradled her head with gentleness, making Sakura shiver with delight as she clung her little hands to the back of his robe. She made noises with her mouth as he hovered over her, trying to press her lower body as close as possible to his; she suddenly reached to wrap her arms around his neck and tangle her fingers in his inky hair, gently pulling.

He slowly peeled his lips from hers, her lower lip between his teeth, gently nibbling. Sakura gasped dazedly with closed eyes. "S-Sasuke...-kun!"

Sasuke exhaled with shivers. "I can't... I can't wait anymore. But, Sakura, I don't want-!"

Sakura's soft hands grasped his strong face gently, making their foreheads touch. Black eyes snapped open to see her face at complete bliss; bright red cheeks, swollen lips and stars in her eyes. Sakura smiled shyly before pressing a light kiss to him before speaking. "Tonight, lets not be the Forbidden Flower or a Demon God," she said softly, her voice sounding like wind chimes. "You are just Sasuke-kun tonight, and...I'm Sakura, the girl who loves you very much."

Sasuke's eyelids dropped to a hypnotic tone, he pulled her into an embrace, burying his face into her thin, slender neck. "If I hurt you-!"

The Uchiha Prince suddenly froze when Sakura turned her head and shyly bite his ear, missing the two piercings on his lobes as she tugged and kissed the curve sweetly. "Please, don't worry, Sasuke-kun. I'm not afraid."

With that, Sasuke lifted her up, her light gasp and legs wrapping around his sides drove him to instinctly take her to the bed. He gently laid her down on the matress and kept her legs apart as he paid attention to her sweet-tasting mouth with his, lightly growling in the back of his throat in the sign of appreciation with her neverending trust in him. Parting her lips carefully by lightly licking her mouth sensually.

He felt himself become onfire when Sakura gasped with a cracked moan as she opened her mouth; diving in, he tangled his tongue with hers and furiously rubbed their appendages harshly. Sasuke inwardly smirked with triumph when Sakura's tiny body quivered underneath him, clinging to him and her legs unknowingly wrapping around the Demon God's waist.

'Only I can do this with her..!' Sasuke finally realized with his eyes closing, deepening the kiss by slanting his mouth as his hand on her back slowly made its way between their smashing bodyfronts. His palm slipping through the crease of her robe to find the string that held the garment close from his eyes. 'She's mine to make all hot and bothered...'

"Sss-! Sasuke-kun!" Sakura moaned softly in an exhale. Her fingers thread through his black hair and lightly tug when he moved his busy mouth to her jaw, licking onto the pulsepoint before nibbling down the curve of her neck.

Opening his eyes in the dark, the Sharingan blazed in the blackness that took over the room. 'This body is mine.'

Sasuke tore open the robe in a harsh shredding sound, making Sakura jump a bit with a red face as she came to notice the breeze on her skin. The lingerie she wore underneath was unecessary, but Ino had forced the apparel on Sakura's body before she left. She swallowed shyly and looked up to Sasuke leaning back to examine her.

Her chest twisted in a sweet way with the look he was giving her. The look of hunger. "S-Sasuke-kun..? Wh-what-?" Her arms crossed over her chest, feeling the lace and silk that only made her redden more.

Fingers touch her belly, feeling the silky covers on her body before slipping under to feel her soft skin, making her suddenly squirm. "Sasuk-!"

"You should thank whoever gave these to you," he said suddenly, completely different toned. She watched him tilt his head to the side, as if he was a curious cat and his hand slid up higher, touching her ribs. Sakura clung both of her hands to the pillow as she chewed her lip to cherry red. "And I apologize...for ruining it."

"R-r... How would you-?"

Rip!

Sakura laid in total numbness when Sasuke ripped the elastic hold on the front of the lingerie bra, the silk easily shredding down her body until it split. Sasuke lazily let go of the now-useless top's edge, his eyes never leaving sight of the long strip of exposed skin.

With shaking hands, Sakura tried to cover herself and shut her eyes. She felt unworthy and plain under him, and with the silence he was giving her she could only imagine what negative things he was thinking of her body. It wasn't until Sasuke gently gripped her wrists and pinned them above her head.

"Don't hide from me, Sakura," he said, his nose barely touching her cheek. She could see the Sharingan staring into her eyes like fire to leaves, and she shivered on reaction. Sasuke's lips gently pressed to her skin, giving her an assuring kiss. "You are more beautiful then you put yourself to be."

Without her consent, tears swelled in her eyes and she nuzzled her temple to his face. She hiccuped a sob and smiled. "Sasuke-kun..!" Turning her head, she met his lips in her own pace of a thankful and loving kiss, her own fingers holding his hand above her head.

"You're very beautiful," he whispered against her lips. He then traveled his mouth down her neck to nibble her perfect collarbone. "I can't resist myself from you because of it..."

Slowly, Sakura felt herself fall limp in his hands, just like a doll with a heartbeat. She closed her eyes in absolute bliss as she felt his fingers slip out from her hold and his hot mouth travel lower, and lower...

Sasuke carefully removed the lingerie top, exposing Sakura's pale and flawless chest and torso to him. There was a sharp jab in his throat, burning constantly as he shut his eyes tightly in what looked to be in pain. He felt his canine teeth sharpen a little, and his body began to sweat when he felt freezing. His thirst was starting to contain his conscience, but he easily pushed it back.

Not yet!

Opening his eyes, Sasuke gazed longingly as his palms slowly hovered over her small breasts, finally groping her skin and the way she reacted sent Sasuke into his paradise; her eyes remained closed as her mouth opened in content, her sigh light and airy as Sasuke felt her lungs inhale the breath and let it out slowly. She looked angelic, and Sasuke was craving more of what the artist created specially for him.

Leaning down, Sasuke gently kissed the sensitive spot of her left breast before taking it into his mouth. Suckling gently, Sasuke's tongue tasted the nipple in a lazy pace, sending Sakura into a sudden move to hold onto his hair and the back of his neck. He purred in pleasure when she unconsiously pulled a little bit too hard on his scalp, sending a rough tingle down his spine perfectly. She moaned quietly and her limbs moved fluidly to grind against Sasuke's lower belly, making him grunt.

Sakura yipped lightly when Sasuke gently bit her and then kissed the surprising move. His other hand massaged the other breast firmly, squeezing once, twice.

"I want to hear you, Sakura," he said in a very low voice, causing Sakura to open her eyes to see that Sasuke's pale skin was partcially peppered with a black designs of petals. His Sharingan swirled the commas slowly, but the whole emotion of love and deep affection was everywhere. With his mark-stained cheek, he cuddled in the valley of her small breasts, relishing the warmth she gave off to his suddenly-cold skin. "Don't be shy, my love. It is just you and me."

Mustering her strength, Sakura reached behind Sasuke and did her best to try and pull his clothes off, however, she wasn't getting much results. She made a whining noise in his hair, continuosly pulling on the thick robe. When she felt him smirk against her naked flesh, she was surprised again when Sasuke pulled away and balanced his weight on his knees. With his eyes never leaving hers, Sasuke casually pulled open his robe and stripped himself to expose his scarred chest.

Sakura's delicate fingers instantly attacked the marred skin, stroking and feeling the silky texture of scars had. Sasuke watched carefully as she pressed her mouth against the biggest one in the middle of his chest - right where his heart was pounding and flexed under the seemingly-innocent touch. He shivered when Sakura's little tongue lightly traced up to his collarbone, climbing onto her knees before she bit his neck lovingly, her fingers cradling his head back as she seduced her Demon God slowly, like sweet, sweet, sweet torture. The black markings spread a bit more, chilling his sweating body as it moved across his nose and chin. Sakura noticed this, pressing her bare chest to his as she rubbed his scalp slowly.

"You're my angel...Sasuke-kun," she whispered. Both of their eyes were half-lidded as they looked at each other and their nose and lips barely touching.

His slightly shaking hand carressing her hot cheek, Sakura smiled in pure happiness. "Sasuke-kun...please, make me your wife."

Sasuke's shoulders hunched and he growled lowly, his mouth suddenly moving fluidly against her lips as he pushed her down onto the bed. His now claw-like hands slipped through the thong's string and he slowly began to pull the tiny piece of underwear and pulling it off her ankles. Shaking harder, Sasuke pressed his cold lips to her neck, suddenly feeling the cool chain of her necklace; his Sharingan staring at the slightly sparkling pendant that he made himself, reminding his conscience that this will not be a mistake for him and his Sakura.

Pushing this into mind, Sasuke's loose pants began falling off his hips, making him kick of the annoying trousers from his body and loop Sakura's legs on each of his arms. His eyes slowly trailed down her naked body until he came to view the most treasured part of a woman; his heart quickened at the pace they were going with this situation, and he came to the idea that would make this more enjoyable.

Sakura bit her lip at the feeling of the hard and heating organ touching her thigh with the anticipation of what was to come, but it didn't. Blushing, Sakura found her lips becoming occupied by Sasuke; his thumb carefully swept across her raw bottom lip, which she had been chewing constantly from hiding her moans and gasps of pleasure. Sasuke licked her lips before kissing her, as if wanting to soothe the slight sting of her mouth with his own.

She practially melted as she curled her arms around his head, showing the slow and sweet equality that he was presenting to her as a cherished love. Her thighs slowly relaxed and fell to the side as they continued to kiss and touch each other slowly, memorizing every small part of the other and letting it sink into their fingertips and lips like burning wood.

It was when Sasuke's finger skillfully snuck between her legs and slipped his middle finger inside her, his thumb rubbing her sensitive bundle of nerves. Sakura's whole body arched as her mouth opened beautifully to let out soft moan - making Sasuke shiver in delight with the sound, and the feeling of tight muscles contracting around his long finger. He slowly moved that finger, sliding in and out in an agonizing pace of torture as he licked her ear.

"Let me hear you, love," he whispered in a demonic voice, his slightly sharp teeth nipping her lobe. He curled his finger and dragged it out, making her whole body shake. "I want to hear you cry for me..."

"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura flushed as she shook against him. She sunk her teeth into his shoulder, trying to show him how she felt by the unknown sensation inside her body; she kept her voice heard though, moaning sweetly whenever he slipped in and arched when he slowly slipped out. "Sasuke-kun...Ohh-!"

Sasuke suddenly pushed in his ring finger, slowly increasing the pace of his right hand as his left carefully brushed her bangs from her face lovingly. He didn't stop his hand's movements as he pressed a sweet kiss to her temple, noticing her bodyheat rising under his touch. The smell of her pounding blood and the sweat strengthening her skin's scent was starting to drive him insane.

"Sakura...I can't hold back anymore," he confessed weakly as he pressed his nose to her soft neck. His eyes closed as his marks spread all over his body now, and his chakra rising like gasoline to flames. "I'm sorry if I-!"

Pulling his fingers out, Sasuke slowly pressed in his hard member into her scorching womanhood, groaning with the harsh squeeze and hotness she was attacking his shaft with. Without warning, Sasuke's eyes snapped open with the Sharingan blazing, and his mouth latched onto her neck, biting her.

'SASUKE-KUN!' Sakura screamed in her mind, readying herself to be attacked by the one she loved the most. Although, the pain of her hymen tearing apart slowly, and a sticky, wet substance drizzled from her core, Sakura only felt the most pain in her legs. She cried out in agony, but the numbing sensation on her neck was also distracting-!

Sasuke did not try to tear her neck open to drink her intoxicating blood. Instead, he nipped the soft skin that connected the shoulder and neck together, gently sucking until blood touched his tongue. It was a prick in her skin, not those monstrous gashes that the previous Forbidden Flower had to recover weeks afterwards. Hearing her cry but gasp sweetly made him growl lowly.

Looking over his shoulder, her eyes half-open, Sakura saw the chakra flames of Sasuke sprouting from his shoulderblades in the shape of his beautiful wings. It was as if she new that his Demon God wanted to devour her very flesh, but he worshipped her whole being so much more then his own hunger. Tears swelled in her eyes of happiness, and she soon forgot the zipping pain in her body and urged him on.

"Sasuke-kun," she whispered low, her throat rumbling against his lips as he continued to suck on thin strings of her blood. It did not hurt her neck, although the slight numbing was a bit weird to feel in her neck. His hips gently rocked against hers like silk upon porcelain, and the soreness she felt slowly ebbed away deliciously as she attempted to move herself as well.

His mouth let go of her neck and his tongue rubbed soothingly to the small prick on her skin, the taste of her blood was still on his mouth and he was more then content enough for it to be enough. Besides, with the feeling of forming into one with her, he didn't want anything else.

Sakura yelped with a flush of her cheeks when Sasuke's angled his hips down, pushing inside her to a part of her body that seemed impossible for her to feel such intense pleasure. She moaned in approval and tugged on his hair.

"Don't stop, Sas-! Sasuke-kun," Sakura breathed when he repeated the move, her walls clenching him as she gasped. Her throat suddenly felt dry and she weakly tried to search for the one who could quench her thirst; finding Sasuke's lips and kissing them at a leisured pace, Sakura could barely register the taste of her blood or the dark chakra flickering against her pale hands as she lightly clawed his back in sensual pleasure. The chakra didn't burn, but it tickled through her nerves to rise her sexual received through it.

An odd sensation started to occur inside Sakura's lower belly, making her whimper in worry as Sasuke took both of her legs and spread them farther apart. She moaned, feeling the movements inside her increase with her pleasure and the knot inside tightening almost too much to bear. Thinking the weird feeling would disperse if she tried, Sakura met his hips in every soft thrust he gave her, making her wince until-!

A blinding white light flashed behind her closed eyes as her mouth opened in total loss as she felt herself become undone underneath him, shaking and moaning constantly as Sasuke continued to drive himself into her. She didn't notice that his claw-like hand struck the wall above her head, his nails scoring down and leaving deep imprints that ruined the wall. Sasuke growled darkly in her ear, but he didn't say anything about the overwhelming sensation of Sakura coating Sasuke's member and her hips still moved in perfection with his. She chanted his name over and over as she struggled to breathe properly.

"S-Sakura..!" Sasuke groaned in surrender before shutting his eyes. His voice was dark and demonic as he buried his face into her hair, panting harshly as he quickened his thrusts to follow after her climax.

Sakura lightly jumped at the suddenly feeling of heat filling inside her body, slowly falling to the pleasuring boil in her lower body made her sigh and hold onto Sasuke a bit tighter. Feeling as though she is overflowing with Sasuke's warmth, Sakura's whole body language changed as she swallowed tiredly and lightly nibbled his ear when he started slowing down in thrusting into her core before coming to those slow and hard push and pulls that made her quiver.

Nipping his ear, Sakura closed her eyes and was now ready to sleep. She still felt Sasuke's member buried deep inside, and she lightly squirmed to try and remove him; despite the marvelous feeling Sasuke's body gave her moments ago, she still couldn't help but whimper at the feeling of being stretched and the soreness of her torn virginity throbbing inside.

"Sss...Sasuke-kun, I..." Sakura murmured tiredly and in groggy pain, she tugged on Sasuke's now stilled form above her, his body's weight still leaning against her fragile one. "Can I-?"

With quick movements and keeping their bodies connected, Sasuke sat up and brought Sakura along with him, forcing her legs around his waist as he held her by her hips; their noses touched with the newfound height and Sakura's large, emerald eyes pierced into the red orbs of swirling commas.

"S-Sasuke-kun..?" Sakura gasped in surprise. Her hands held onto hair at the back of his neck, her feet digging into the sheets of their shared bed. She felt his member drive deeper into her, and she flushed at the feeling of his tip touching that impossible spot that sent a sweet tingle up her spine, making her sigh.

One of his hands slowly reached up, his thumb touching her burning cheek and rubbed the digit in a circle as he pressed his sweaty forehead to her's. He looked tired too, but his eyes read a determination that he wasn't done.

"Mine," he whispered. The dark pattern on his skin felt tingly when Sakura's palm brushed some of them on his back. Closing his eyes, Sasuke took a moment to breathe and reopen his eyes for them to be their usual black, his teeth returning to their perfect shapes with no fangs. He smirked a little, pressing his mouth on her lips firmly to smooch her hyperventalating breathes, swallowing her little moan as she came to realize what he wanted.

Shyly slipping her tongue to meet his, their mouths fused together in perfect sync as she kissed him over and over before she ran out of air for her to pass out. Pulling back slowly, Sakura looked into his handsome eyes.

"Sakura," he exhaled sexily, "make me at your mercy."

Eyes widening and her cheeks reddening more, Sakura obeyed him by moving her hips with experimenting in mind. Curling her legs to rest her weight on her shins, Sakura slowly raised herself a little, removing a small inch of him out of her and brought herself down. This action made Sasuke's back arch sharply and intake a breath of air through his teeth. His eyes were shut tight and head thrown back, Sakura was in awe at the sight of the love of her life under her control. He whispered her name in need, making her heart pound a little harder against her chest.

Exhaling the breath she was holding, Sakura took on her challenge and brought Sasuke's face back to her, making their lips touch as they helped each other breathe. They swallowed each other's moan and small cry, his hands on her waist and her hands on his neck, it was all Sakura's power to bring them to a finish.

Bringing her new power to use, Sakura slowly guided Sasuke to lie down on his back, watching him pant with closed eyes in esctasy and looking down to see how their bodies moved together as one. Unknown to the sight of actual lovemaking, Sakura blushed and moaned, grabbing Sasuke's hands in her own and intertwining their fingers like there was nothing else to hold on to.

"Sasuke-kun," Sakura sighed in bliss as she rocked her hips a little harder on him, feeling Sasuke's legs spread farther apart in his numb-state. "Sasuke-kun, I can't..!"

'I can't hold this feeling inside any longer, Sasuke-kun,' she cried in her thoughts, feeling her walls quiver and squeeze him just that way that got them both making noises of whines and cries. 'This is...what love feels like, isn't it?'

Moving faster and grinding harder, Sakura brought their joined hands down by her drunken instinct for them to touch where they were connected as one, and her breathing hitched as she threw her head back. Sasuke slowly opened his eyes to look at her, the hand touching them slowly slipped from her fingers and graced up her sweat-coated skin; passing up her hipbones and caressing her sides. Soon enough, his other hand reached to cup her breast and massage gently, tipping her over the edge as she came beautifully once more.

Sasuke mustered all of his strength to sit up and wrap his arms around her, holding her close for their heartbeats to pound against each other as he helped her move with him to help him reach a climax again as he kissed her neck and groaned. He panted, and the chakra wings behind him exploded like sparkles of stars in the galaxy, falling like snow as he spread the warmth inside her womb once more.

Waiting for a long moment in their high and cooling the heat inside their bodies, they raised their heads to look at each other with heavy-lidded eyes filled with content and love. Sasuke raised his hand and cupped her cheek softly, pressing his lips to hers in a sensual and long kiss of tangled tongues and mixed saliva. Their chests ached sweetly and their heads fuzzed.

Sasuke laid her down on the mattress, eyes never leaving hers and slowly removed himself from inside her. Sakura shivered in tired pleasure at the wet feeling of him leaving her, but her soreness soon returned after being forced to adjust to Sasuke's size and she curled her legs to try and ease it. Sakura closed her eyes, readying herself now to rest for the rest of the night.

Feeling the bed move, she knew that Sasuke was getting himself comfortable and laid down beside her, his breath hitting the side of her face as he faced her, his hand still touching her face with such gentleness. Pressing his body closer to her, Sasuke wrapped his arm around her and snuck his legs between her legs to tangle their limbs. He could feel sticky substance on the skin of her thigh and he inwardly smirked in triumph at knowing of how he claimed his bride as his one and only life partner.

Watching her slumbering face in the moonlight, her breathing still all too much for her to handle, Sasuke's lip twitched as a swell in his chest as he reached over and dressed his wet lips to her opened mouth. Although she was asleep, she still responded with a sweet sigh and weakly puckering her lips to him, and he purred in the back of his throat of sweet love.

Letting go, Sasuke pulled the thin sheet over them before resting his head on the futon pillow, with Sakura shifting to bury her face into his bare chest and falling into her deep sleep as they laid in the heat of their lovemaking, Sasuke's black marks dispersing like mist and his black eyes gazed off to the night's sky. He listened to Sakura's breathing and heartbeat before he closed his own eyes to sleep.

"Sakura...you are now my wife," he whispered before drifting off.
