Glazed Emeralds: A Hallmark Story

Chapter 10: Burning Lust

It was late evening that found Naruto laying in bed, twiddling his thumbs and staring up at the rafters of his room. He was deep in thought; content as he was. He just couldn't seem to add any cons to his list anymore, and the pros seemed to keep adding up.

He knew that in a small town like this, he should focus on the people who, if he lived here, would be his sole neighbors and who he spoke to. Even if he just built a cabin and rented it out, it would be good to know the people who could take care of it and who would pay for their services.

There had been Tenten, the blacksmith, happy as could be, and as Ino had mentioned, quite the ringer in darts, knife throwing, and other such sports. Of course she decided to mention that After he had lost a game to the woman last night. Naruto chuckled having lost a hundred bucks to the mistress of weapons.

There was Kiba, the local carpenter who came and went from town on jobs, who he would need to talk to sometime next week for designs or something of the like for the land. And then there was Kakashi, the strange older guy who had served in the military and escaped here for peace and quiet. Always muttering about looking underneath the underneath. Naruto cracked a smile. All he wanted to do was look under that mask and headband he used to cover his face.

Ino Yamanaka, by far one of the most beautiful mayors in the world, and such a hard worker and quite energetic, after her daily coffee of course. He had thought after the first day, that she would make a move on him. She was flirty from the start, playfully touching his arm, and yet...nothing.

Of course he found her extremely attractive. If she had been in the city, he'd never be able to approach her; she'd be part of the upper echelon of society, covered with the most expensive brands and paraded by a powerful man of power, in the news every few weeks with her opinion stated as fact. But out here, she just seemed to be a free spirit. He felt like they were developing a bond between each other, becoming friends. Already, he felt the feelings of lust and carnal desires ebb away and smiled brighter. If he stayed; she'd make good company, as a fast friend.

Speaking of good company, just as with any of his thoughts, he just couldn't seem to get Sakura out of his head. It was like she was permanently at his side, even when right now she was across the hall in her own room, living her own life. While it was true that over this week, they'd grown close, he knew that she was by herself and he was her sole client. Perhaps she was just passing the day and being courteous towards him. Maybe she was just like Ino, and very flirty?

Naruto grabbed a pillow and growled into it, silencing his lust for her. Unlike Ino's waning attraction, it was like Sakura's was growing with every hour. Around her, he felt like a dog wanting a bone and she was the bone! Naruto groaned as he felt himself grow painful below. He'd already taken a cold shower after they'd gotten back; he'd taken one every night so far, and he had no disillusion that he would for this whole trip.

Sakura was simply a delight to be around. He felt that somewhere down the line, she had decided that he passed the test or something, and was opening up to him. Today had been the best example, spending an entire day together, out in the middle of nowhere with only nature around them. In the city, no one hung around unless they liked spending time with another; could that logic work here as well?

Naruto turned his head to the window, staring blindly at the forest beyond. He was flirting so hard with her. He didn't even know how to turn it off. It just blurted out of his mouth before his ears heard the thought. Naruto knew that this was bad; he really, really wanted this girl. To make matters worse, his mind was reading signals that said that she wanted him back!

As she grew comfortable with him, it was like she was flirting back with him with small gestures or words. The way that she would hide behind her hair and pull him closer with her eyes gleaming back at him. Her retorts on his flirtations or ogling by posing for him, or agreeing that she looked amazing. He knew his mind was making too big a deal about these little things, but he didn't seem to have a choice in the matter.

The one thing that made him sure was the skin contact. It may sound stupid, to feel that his heart raced today when she applied that sunscreen to his body, but it did. The way her fingers glided over his arms and face, as if lovingly caressing him all over. Naruto readjusted his pants; she shouldn't have let him caress her back. He had lustfully groped her backside, eagerly gripping her smooth skin as if wanting to take her somewhere and devour her. It still made Naruto shiver, even now.

Naruto took a shaky breath though; they had held hands. Of course, she had saved him from a rather awkward fall today; gripping his hand to keep him on the ridge. He'd taken a risk, interlacing their fingers. He'd been shocked when she readjusted into a relaxed grip. Neither of them said anything as they made the three hour trip back, but they hadn't let go. The flirting had gotten worse; he had spun her across small jumps across boulders, pulled her closer when the trail narrowed, and they even reached for their water with one hand.

They had only parted once at the car, and that had been so intense. Sakura had stared at him strangely; as if deciding something. The way her eyes seemed to glow had his heart doing flips out of his chest.

'Maybe...maybe I should hold myself back for now.' Naruto nodded at his thought. He didn't want to push any boundaries with her. For one, she was deeper than what he first thought, and could become a huge plus if he decided to stay. Two; she was his landlord in a way for three more weeks, and he didn't want this to get awkward. And Three; if he made her stare like that again, then he might not be able to hold himself back.

He'd hold back the flirtations. Yeah, Naruto. Don't do anything stupid now.

"Ah! Come on! Are you kidding me?!"

Naruto jumped from within his bed at the shout, before sitting up to look back at the door. Even if there were more people staying here, he'd know that yell anywhere. It was the voice that he'd heard within the first ten minutes that he'd been here in Konoha.

Naruto stood up and quickly made his way to his door, opening it wide as he stepped out. "Sakura, is anything wrong-..."

Words left his mouth, as well as any water he had that he gulped back. There was Sakura herself standing there in front of her door, only she wasn't dressed. True that her workout clothes showed more skin, but all he saw was a small white towel that still showed the top swell of her heaving chest and just below where it ended under her hip were her creamy white thighs and the bottom half of her ass peeking out, showing off her toned physique. It took Naruto a while to get over the arresting sight of an angel.

His first non-perverse thought was that her hair was wet. Naruto's eyes followed the trail of water slide achingly down her neck, following the trail down between her breasts. "Um...Y-you okay, Sakura?"

For being barely covered, Sakura turned towards him with a shy pride burgeoning out from her body's pores, her stance almost telling him to run forward and pounce on top of her. "Yeah...just uh...locked out."

"You don't have a key on you?"

Sakura smirked knowingly at him and he sucked in some air. "Right. You're in a towel. Stupid." He muttered as he stepped into the hallway and joined her.

"Not stupid." Sakura shook her head as she gazed down at her womanly figure. "Some girls put them between their breasts. I suppose I could have, ne?"

Naruto lost his voice. Was she asking him to comment on how large or how tantalizing her breasts were or how much she could fit between them?

"Naruto?" He heard her speak as she leaned forward, and stepped around him as the towel slid across his arm. God, she was a tease.

"So uh- do you have a spare somewhere?" Naruto rushed to ask. He had to finish this quickly. His entire body was awakening, and it took all his strength to hold himself back. One small pull and that towel could be taken off. One pull...and he would see all she had to offer...one- "Well?"

"Y-yeah." Sakura blushed as she turned away, looking down at the bottom of her towel, drawing his eyes straight down to her ass peeking out the back. 'Oh boy...that's a fine ass…'

"Where is it?"

Sakura nodded upwards towards him and Naruto turned to the small overhang above the hallway. "Up there, huh?"

"Y-yeah- I can maybe reach it." Sakura shrugged as she took a step forward.

"Nonsense. I got it." Naruto smiled as he turned and reached up, his palm pressing atop the wooden beam to locate the key. He would do this good deed for Sakura, get in her good graces, and maybe score a kiss in the future! Yes!

"Ah! Got it-!" Naruto smirked, only to turn around just as Sakura had leaned up as well, and his eyes bulged as the bare fabric pressed into his side, telling him exactly how great her body felt against his.

"N-Naruto, I-"

"I'm sorry." Naruto rushed out, leaning over to slide the key into the slot and pushed the handle as the door swung inward. "Here you go-"

"Thank you, Naruto." Sakura looked up, and Naruto stalled. There they were again. Those eyes. Those...emerald, shimmering, eyes. Why were her eyes so mesmerizing? They were pulling him in, bringing him closer.

"Is there anything I can do to repay you?" Naruto's eyes dipped down and Sakura seemed to smile. "You really saved my night." She spoke quietly, her tongue slithering out across her lip.

Her lips were so glossy-was there lip balm there? Naruto's hesitance began to wane as he leaned down, his face moving to cover her own as he followed the speck in her eyes as they began to close.

"Naru…"

Naruto's eyes shot open and he paused, hovering inches from her lips. His whole body began to quake, and it wasn't from excitement, but from shame. H-he couldn't push her like this. But he wanted to so bad!

He had loved this week; it had been the best week in a very, very long time. Naruto's eyes gleamed across her body and shivered. She was exactly what Naruto wanted in a woman in high school; smart, sexy, independent, and completely blowing his mind.

She was just so amazing and...he respected her. Naruto gulped back on his carnal desire. He respected her too much to make a pass. "I'm sorry." He whispered into her ear as he turned to walk back to his room. He was such a loser.

'What the-' Naruto choked as a hand suddenly pulled on his collar, spinning him backwards until he hit the wall inside the doorway, inside Sakura's room. Naruto was blinking away a rush of adrenaline as Sakura hovered before him, trapping him in like an animal playing with her food. "S-Sakura?"

All across her skin, he saw Sakura shiver as she stared those emerald orbs deep into his own, licking her lips a final time. "This means nothing." She whispered to herself and to him, before suddenly her lips were on his own, and Naruto was stunned as she kissed him, struggling to do the same.

(Mature)

She was savage in her ferocity, Naruto realized as Sakura pressed herself against his body, scorching every bit of him that she touched. Her kisses left loud smacks as she rained down an array of dominance in what she was doing. Inside himself, that held in lust burst open as he dove in himself, trying to beat her mouth into submission with his own. His hands slid down her sides, feeling for the end of her towel, and once there, he squeezed tight, grabbing a toned, pert ass.

"Mmm!" Sakura's throat moaned into his own at the feeling, yet soon Naruto released his own moan as her hand slid inside his pants and grasped around his member.

Naruto didn't know how long they attacked the other against the wall, nor did he care. This was an animalistic devouring that was occurring with him as one half of it and he did not want it to end. Somehow, they began to slide along the wall, Naruto's ear picking up the shattering of a frame of glass or something else, and then suddenly the wall was gone, and Sakura pushed him back onto her mattress of her bedroom.

Naruto had no respite as Sakura fell atop of him as her legs intertwined with his own, their lower limbs dragging sensuously alongside each other as their fingers roamed across subtle curves and hard chests, only blocked by the fabric that hid them from view.

Through a haze, Naruto's willpower struggled to keep him honest. As Sakura's assault let up, he tried to ask her why him, why now? "Hey...hey Sakura-! Ah god!"

Naruto gasped as his body spread out from the center, his mind reeling from this woman who knew his body as if he was her personal instrument. When he had begun to speak, Sakura had taken that chance to sneak under his chin and bite into his neck, sucking lightly.

She drew another groan of pleasure from Naruto's lips as he gripped her closer and when his mouth wasn't working, his senses burst into overdrive. His ears heard her whispers between kisses, about how this meant nothing, how he was such a tease, how this was all his fault, and through his skin, he could feel her smiling against it, hiding it from his watchful gaze.

Naruto struggled to pull her back up to kiss her forehead, and the two finally separated by mere inches between their faces, their bodies slowly grinding back and forth to keep friction and their arousal high. His eyes finally saw the shimmering in her eyes, the way that she shyly gazed lustfully at him, as she slowly stroked his arm. She was morphing again into a caring, yet lustful woman. He was certain that she'd answer now.

"S-Sakura? W- why? Um..why me?"

Sakura mewled, her lips descending to trail kisses along his jaw. "This means nothing, Naruto...I just...want to return all those flirtatious comments you've made to me this week." Sakura admitted as he felt her shiver in anticipation.

Naruto shivered himself as his lower half turned painful. He flirted with her all week and that meant sex? Did she do this with her customers? Or was..this rare or...a bigger question surged forth and Sakura's actions paused as he brought his hand up to grace her cheek. "A-Are you...sure?"

Sakura slowly teared up, her smile bitter as she gazed at him and bit her lip nervously. "I want to...I mean I've...I...I haven't since..um…"

"Hey." Naruto ended her nervous banter, the pad of his thumb grazing along her bit lip, and slowly Sakura sensuously licked the pad, biting it lightly. Naruto smiled at the playful acceptance. "We don't have to go that far."

Sakura's eyes suddenly flared and Naruto found his upper half thrown to the mattress as Sakura slid off the bed. Naruto held in his massive groan. God, what had he said?! He brought her back to her senses, that's what! Now he couldn't fuck and-

"Naruto." Sakura caught his attention, and he looked up in awe as Sakura pulled on the tie that held the towel up. It was like time slowed as the towel unwrapped and fell to the ground, classically pooling around her feet. 'Those were her breasts?' Naruto asked himself. They weren't massive, but they weren't small either. They were perfectly round, plump, and straining out as if reaching for him. His gaze followed down to her smooth flat stomach where he'd seen it before but now without clothes to frame it, it matched her shape beautifully.

Finally he took the chance and looked at her pelvis which she'd turned slightly to the side, so that he could see everything, from her small, but pert ass, tight and ready to pop, to the lines of her pelvis leading to her center. Naruto was almost bewildered by the lack of hair anywhere between her legs, thinking of country girls and such, but it was a pretty pussy that beckoned towards him.

It felt like minutes as he continued to gaze up and down at her nude frame, his nerves broken and utterly fried. Sakura giggled after a while and began to crawl over the mattress like a fox hovering over her own. As she rejoined him, the both of them shivered breaths of air, now skin on skin as somehow, Naruto was only in his boxers and he couldn't remember taking anything off.

He could see everything, and Sakura nipped at his lips and smiled lovingly at him. "Yes we do, Naruto...my whole body is screaming at me, telling me that I want to do that with you...I want it so much...right now."

Naruto smiled at her acceptance of him, and his arms reached around her, as he pulled her in by the back of her waist, her pelvis grinding into him deliciously. "Then I'll ask once more...are you sure?"

Sakura paused for seven seconds, her eyes spinning as she pondered his question, and then Naruto widened in glee as she showed on her lips a rare emotional smile, one that he'd been seeking all his life, and just now found. "Yes. I want you."

Naruto nodded as he leaned forward, and captured her lips within his and Sakura mewled as he twisted them around, until he was on top of her. Naruto began his own trail of kisses down her neck, leaving small pink spots everywhere he lingered. He felt Sakura's heaving breasts freeze as he reached the swell of her chest, but he smiled and kissed at the tip of her nipple, earning a slow, drawn out whimper of pleasure as she smiled over at him.

"You have such a beautiful pair of breasts...it makes me want to kiss them." Naruto whispered to the pair as he languidly licked along her flesh, kissing and suckling as Sakura's breathing turned desperate and needy. Her arms wrapped around his head, pulling his mouth deeper as she practically pushed her breasts into his mouth, both shivering at the feel of moist skin and hot air.

"Oh god...this is so good." Sakura moaned as the minutes dragged on, neither pushing the other to go faster as they explored. Twice, Naruto had grinned impishly as Sakura tried to sneak her hand inside his boxers, but finally she grasped his hard member and stroked it once, before her downward gaze widened and she looked up to Naruto's blushing face. "You're … well hung."

"I um...I wouldn't know." Naruto blushed back. He'd never compared growing up and he hadn't exactly been with-

"Have you been with many girls before me?" Sakura quietly murmured, a small teasing smile edging the outside of her lip as Naruto twitched within her sliding grip, held captive to her embrace.

"None."

"...None?" Sakura quirked her head to the side, staring at him in surprise. Naruto lowered himself further away, sliding out of her grip and meeting her pelvis with his chin. "I thought you'd have been with a couple."

"Not every city slicker gets with multiple partners." Naruto grinned back.

Sakura smiled shyly at his retort before her eyes widened as she tried to close her legs. "Wait Naru~ oh!" Sakura rushed as Naruto dipped below and gazed within inches of her pussy lips. Her sudden closure of her legs only emphasized how beautiful they were and Naruto reached forward and lightly stroked it with his finger.

"You don't like how you look down here?"

Sakura gulped back a sob as she looked away. "I've always been told it looks pathetic." Sakura closed her eyes, hoping that he would just get to fucking. Her loins stirred and lay ready to climax already. So it came as an utter shock when Naruto proceeded to pierce her core not when his member but with his finger. "Oh~~!"

Juices flowed easily as Naruto quickly worked her up into a frenzy, her limbs spasming across the mattress. His face came back up and Sakura could only stare as he gazed back at her lewd face, not ashamed of it when he was looking at her.

So in tuned was she, that when her climax came, it was sudden. No small eruptions for her that was her normal, no gradual buildup; this was raw, intense, and utterly exhausting. Sakura's eyes rolled back with her upper half, Naruto's arm holding her upright as he pistoned his finger through her core, watching as she unraveled before him, her essence bursting onto her slick thighs and coating the sheets under her.

Ragged breaths heaved into her lungs, and yet as she regained herself, Naruto leaned forward and locked lips with her. It was sweet, and dominant and...giving. Sakura immediately plunged into him, wrapped her arms around his neck as he continued to pump inside as she ebbed and waned. When she did lean back, Naruto was angrily staring at her.

"Whoever told you that you were ugly was a freaking bastard." Naruto growled into her, and Sakura shivered, her entire being rocked by his words.

"But-but he-"

"I don't care what anyone else thinks. You are beautiful, Sakura, from your small feet to your beautiful eyes...to your unique hair."

"Y-you really think so?"

Naruto leaned in, silencing her with a soft kiss. "I wouldn't say it if it wasn't true."

A raging blush filled Sakura's face, but her stomach pooled with intense heat as she smiled tearfully at him.

"Are you okay?"

"Huh?"

"You're crying."

"Just...you flatter me nonstop, you know?" Sakura sniffled, but laughed as he started to speak. "Don't apologize. Let's...let's do this."

"Right." Naruto nodded as they sat on their knees, and Sakura peeled off the last article of clothing he had, baring all of himself to her. Sakura laid back down and Naruto positioned himself before her. He waited for her nod and then thrusted forward. "...Damn…" He tried again. "...damn it!"

Sakura did her best to hold it in, but a snort and giggle escaped her and Naruto looked up with the cutest face of embarrassment that she fell into a fit of giggles.

"Naru~, it's okay!" Sakura insisted as she leaned back up, hugging him close as he looked away.

"It won't go in-"

"Here. Let me." Sakura smiled as Naruto laid down, his member jutting straight up into the air. Sakura licked her lips as she moved to straddle his thighs and shivered as his member reached her navel. She hadn't had a guy in a while, let alone his size before. It made her eager to start, as her pussy leaked more arousal onto her thighs. Sakura gripped the base of his member and angled it to her core, squatting over him as she did so.

Rubbing it along her slit, his head snuck inside, making both of them release moans of arousal into the room. After stealing herself, Sakura slid herself down inch by inch, as his member pierced inside of her. She made it four inches before her legs abruptly spasmed and suddenly she felt her entire being become full of him. Sakura gasped as she looked down, their pelvises fitting together perfectly, but more important was that he was completely inside of her.

"Oh god! You feel so good! S-Sakura, you-..." Naruto muttered as he felt her walls clenching all around him, his eyes prickling with amazed tears. 'Is this what an angel feels like? This is the best moment of my life.'

(Sniffle)

Naruto's eyes shot open at the sound of sniffling, and he looked up in horror to see tears angrily sliding down Sakura cheeks. "Sakura are you-!"

"Don't mo-ove~!" Sakura protested, as she moaned atop his member, her walls clenching tighter than before. Naruto widened his eyes as he felt liquid rush around his member, and on his groin and realized that she had climaxed again.

"You okay?"

Sakura slowly lowered herself to rest on him, her palms splayed across his chest as she heaved heavily, her chest bursting with every heavy breath. "I'm...I'm okay, Naru~"

"Does it...does it hurt?"

Sakura smiled back at him with teary eyes. "Hell yeah...my body's not used to you yet...but it's the good kind of hurt. I like this kind."

'Yet. She said yet.' Naruto heard. So he slowly thrusted up towards her. Sakura mewled again, but this time she glanced down and smiled, nodding as they began to fall in sync with the other. As Naruto pushed up, Sakura fell down, their sexual organs pounding at the other, trying to make the other cave first. However, as they continued to pick up the pace, Naruto realized that unlike himself, Sakura had already had some release and he couldn't compete in a game of endurance.

"Your pussy is top notch, Sakura!" Naruto called over and Sakura smirked as her walls clamped dangerously close to him. Naruto pulled her down towards him, trying to flip them, but Sakura stopped above him, hovering her nipples right in his face. Sakura let out a surprised yelp as Naruto's hands found purchase on her ass, using the flesh to pull her down as he dictated the new pace.

Instead, she gave in and used more strength, pushing him deeper and deeper inside of her as she leaned over and moaned into his ear. So deep were the two that neither thought of pulling out, and so when Naruto came, his member painted the entirety of Sakura's insides white, as the pulse triggered a huge orgasm from the pink haired beauty.

Pulse after pulse, twitch after twitch, the two continued to pound away, their skin echoing with loud slick slaps, not wanting to let the other go, nor not climax afterwards. So when they finally did stop, Sakura slid off of Naruto and the two breathed heavily into the room, their gasps for life echoing all around.

"Wow…" Naruto could only mutter, his eyes shimmering with jitters as adrenaline coursed through his system. He couldn't move his arms, or his legs or body, but he didn't want to. He felt...at peace...no work...no stress...just...release. He craned his head just an inch and saw Sakura doing the same, except just the sight of her body made his own grow hot once more.

'W-what am I supposed to do now?' Naruto realized as he looked back up at the ceiling. Should he thank her for a good fuck? 'God that sounds like I paid for her!' What about flirting again before he left back to his bed? 'Maybe just to bed.' Naruto tiredly thought. He was exhausted, and cold, and groggy.

"Hey," Naruto whispered, "I guess I'll just-" Naruto began to sit up before a feminine arm crossed over his chest, and using him for leverage, the feminine body that followed layered over his, her breasts pressing into his pecs as her long legs intertwined around his own, trapping him there as her naked pelvis lay split with his hip, her head sliding into his neck.

"So warm…" Sakura cooed as she got comfortable. "You don't have to leave; I don't want this feeling to end...I want you to stay...just for tonight?"

Naruto sighed with a defeated smile. It wasn't like he wanted to leave either. He readjusted his arms around before his hand cupped her stomach, just under her breast to keep her close and laid his head atop of hers.

"Just a few minutes." Naruto muttered to the room, but no one within heard the phrase, as the two had by then already deafened the world beyond the bed, and they dazed off into a restful sleep. Naruto's arm tightened around her frame and Sakura gently rubbed her face against him, and they dreamed of happy thoughts, filled with the person they were holding beside them.
