Chapter 11

Posted on September 14th, 2022

Gaara knocks on the door softly several times before keying in the code to get in. Naruto and he had agreed for him to come pick her up at 7am for rehearsal. However, with Naruto leaving the bar abruptly last night and not picking up the phone or texting him back this morning, Gaara didn't know what condition he'd find her in or if he'd find her home at all. He'd stayed at the door as long as possible hoping Naruto would just open the door and save him walking in on her with someone.

Gaara walks in and calls Naruto from the lobby. Gaara sees her shoes by the door and is relieved that she made it home okay. He takes note that he doesn't see any men's shoes there. He slowly lets himself in, sees her jacket and bag on the couch. He hears the shower running. Gaara calls Naruto's name louder so he doesn't scare her by barging in the shower or just sitting there when she comes out. A few moments later, the shower stops, and Naruto pokes her head out the bathroom door.

"I know I'm late, I just need five minutes! We should still make it on time."

Gaara nods and sits on the couch to wait. Just a few minutes later, Naruto is out with fresh clothes and grabs her jacket and bag. "Okay, I'm good to go."

Gaara looks her over, a habit of making sure she is okay. His eyes linger on a darkening marks on the side of her neck. Naruto follows his eyes and notices the mark in the mirror across the room. She covers it with her hand and goes to put her shoes on. Gaara follows her with his eyes – Naruto had always been adamant for him to never leave marks on her. He'd never before seen Naruto allow any another man mark her up like that.

The ride to the theater is quiet. Gaara gives Naruto a bottle of water and a cup of freshly squeezed orange juice in the hopes that would help with any possible headache or tiredness. Naruto goes on her phone to find a text from Sasuke asking if she made it home safely. A little smile graces her lips. She texts him back, Yes, I did! Going to rehearsal now. Enjoy your beauty sleep teme!

When they go inside, the rest of the crew rush to Naruto.

"Are you alright, Naru-chaaan?" Hidan gushes over Naruto and puts an arm over her shoulders. Deidara and Konan roll their eyes at Hidan but also ask Naruto if she is okay.

Naruto blinks, confused. "Yes. Why?"

"Gaara-san said you weren't feeling well last night and had left." Deidara supplies.

Naruto almost blushes but forces it down. Of course, Gaara had thought in advance and had provided a plausible and valid excuse so she wouldn't have to endure the teasing of her crewmembers about leaving with a guy (and a guy most of them had seen during their engagement with the college of medicine). Naruto looks at Gaara, gratitude in her eyes. He really always thought about her wellbeing and took care of her. That was just his nature. Acts of service was how he showed love and Naruto was always grateful to him for it. Gaara looks back at her and just puts a hand on her shoulder.

Naruto does get to nap before her show. Luckily, the theater has very big and comfortable couches in all the big cast member rooms. She wakes up a few hours before the show when the other cast members start moving around to get things ready. The show tonight is sold out. Naruto has the leading role again. Gaara had left earlier today since he had been absent for the majority of the rehearsal for this play due to his recent trip. But he had promised he'd be able to make it back on time to catch the show.

Naruto is getting ready in her cast member room when she gets a text from Sasuke asking what she's doing. They had been texting light-heartedly during the afternoon as if they hadn't gone two months without speaking.

Just as Naruto had just put on the dress she was going to wear at the beginning of the play, there is a knock on the door. The door is left cracked open and when Naruto turns around, Sasuke is already coming in.

"Sasuke? How did you get in here?" Naruto blinks at him, surprised.

"I have my ways," Sasuke says. His deep black eyes completely focused on her make Naruto's inside purr. Naruto gives him the once-over as he makes his way to her swiftly. Seriously, what is with Uchihas moving smoothly like they're panthers? Sasuke is wearing black jeans and a leather jacket and Naruto cannot help the warmth that ignites in her core at how good he looks. Sasuke is in front of her already and draws her close by the waist. Naruto circles his shoulders and they kiss with tongue.

Naruto smiles into the kiss. "Mmmm… One day you'll have to tell me how you and your brother manage to sneak in here."

Sasuke pulls back and frowns. "What? My brother? He's been here?"

Naruto bites her lip, realizing she'd slipped up and Sasuke was probably not supposed to know.

"Honestly. Don't even tell me anything. I'm in a good mood and don't want it ruined by my mother-hen brother." Sasuke leans down to kiss her again. He is warm and strong against Naruto and smells like the forest and the earth and soap.

"Yeah?" Naruto hums. "Uchiha Sasuke in a good mood? Can hardly believe it. And what is the reason for that once-in-a-blue-moon event?" Naruto teases. Sasuke walks her back into the counter. He encircles her thighs and lifts her up and on the counter. She giggles until Sasuke presses himself against her and goes to kiss and lick at her jaw and neck. Naruto's eyes dim down with lust and she draws in Sasuke closer.

Sasuke comes up to cradle her face with both hands and kiss her deeply. "Hn. You could say I had a really good meal."

"Yeah?" Naruto smiles and licks at his lower lip.

"Yeah. And I'm pretty hungry now too." Sasuke's voice is deep and dripping with lust. He kisses her deeply again before moving down to nibble at her neck. When Sasuke notices the marks he had left last night at her shoulder junction and neck, he growls and dives down to deepen his marks on her in a fit of possession. Naruto moans and claws at his jacket against his shoulders, allows him to lean in more into her. Sasuke reaches to massage her firm breasts through and inside her dress. Naruto spreads her legs further and draws him in against her core. Her mind is cloudy with lust that this man so easily ignites in her. Gone were the worries about the play or any care that they were in a public setting or that she had a whole sold-out show to get ready for. The only thing Naruto could think about was how absolutely appetizing Sasuke's huge erection looks in his jeans. She reaches down to rub at his dick – Sasuke grips her shoulders harder and hisses at the feeling of the pressure of her hand against his weeping erection and the rough cloth of his jeans pressing against it.

"Fuck, Sasuke," Naruto lets out in a low voice and licks at her lips when she looks down at the big outline in his jeans. Sasuke's dick had felt so good in her mouth and throat last night, and Sasuke had been so satisfyingly firm with handling her. Naruto twitches and tingles down there thinking how Sasuke would feel inside her, how he'd stretch her and fill her up so well-

Sasuke thrusts against her and they both groan loudly. Naruto leans back feeling weak from pleasure. Sasuke holds her thighs and thrusts against her, his face buried in her breasts. Naruto squeezing his head and shoulders, grips at his hair.

"Sasuke…" Naruto is almost ready to ditch the whole show at this point and have Sasuke fuck her all night. She had messed around with him only for a bit but what he had shown so far had the potential for being an absolutely amazing fuck. Naruto was usually the one to dictate the pace of her intimate encounters, riding the men and telling them exactly what she needs done to get off. But Sasuke so far was different – he took Naruto's words away. Something about his strong presence made Naruto want to step down and allow him to dominate.

Naruto had absolutely not expected this outcome the first time when she met Sasuke and thought he was a spoiled, rich asshole with the personality of a grumpy sandal. Sasuke was continuing to surprise Naruto and prove her wrong. As much as she didn't want to give into Sasuke's good looks and charisma, she now finds herself moaning into the kiss as he pushes her down on the counter and thrusts against her core roughly, squeezing her ass.

Whoever is knocking on the door, Naruto wants to yell at them to fuck off.

"Naru-chaaan," Hidan chirps from behind the door, "I'm coming in." Naruto's stomach drops momentarily and she goes to push Sasuke off. Sasuke instead pushes against her harder and looks at her pointedly for her to calm down and hear how the doorknob does not click when Hidan twists it repeatedly. Sasuke had locked the door.

"You bastard. You planned for this," Naruto accuses but relief permeates her voice.

"Huh? Naru-chan? You okay? The door is locked?" Hidan protests a the other side of the door.

"Uuh, yeah," she calls out louder so Hidan can hear. "I'm changing!"

"Ohhhh," Hidan lets out with an excited note in his voice. "Can I watch?"

"Fuck off, Hidan. What do you want?"

"Other than watching you change? The make up girl called, she said she'll be up here in ten minutes to start with Konan's makeup and then yours."

Sasuke holds Naruto's gaze, commanding her with no words to keep her eyes on him. He moves to reach under Naruto's dress and slides down her cotton panties. Naruto is biting at her knuckles to keep quiet as Sasuke opens up her thighs and dips down to lick at her pussy. His tongue against her little clit feels both like relief and torture.

"Okay, thanks. I'll be there!" Naruto tells Hidan and strains to hold in her moaning.

Sasuke looks right in her eyes as he circles her twitching entrance with a finger and dips it inside. Last night Sasuke had made her cum by only fingering her. Now that he also had his warm, slick, rough tongue against her sensitive clit, Naruto's thighs begin shaking. She lets out obscenities as he eats her out like a champ, observing her every small reaction with those deep eyes of his. Sasuke slides in another finger inside and just leaves them in there, pressing up against her g-spot, lightly rubbing against it. His tongue and mouth however absolutely go to town eating her out. The inside of her thighs is all wet with his saliva and her juices. Naruto can't help the tears that come up at the corners of her eyes as she topples over the edge and orgasms, squeezing his head between her thighs and pulling at his black hair.

Sasuke keeps the waves of her orgasm coming with his fingers and tongue. He laps up all her cum and kisses her there gently before coming up to kiss at her neck. Naruto is breathing hard, fighting away the white spots in her vision. When she comes to a bit, Sasuke draws her up to sit on the counter and readjusts her dress.

Naruto glances down and sees that Sasuke is still so hard inside his jeans it must be painful. She reaches to pull down his zipper. When she moves to push him back so she can kneel down and suck him off, he stops her and kisses at her jaw.

"There's no time. You have to go." Sasuke is being the voice of reason.

Naruto looks at the clock. He's right, she should be getting her make up done already. But Naruto reaches inside his jeans and takes him in her hand. His cock is warm and pulsating. He's so ready to blow. Naruto grips him with both first – both fists – and jerks him off. It is so attractive that she can grip him with two fists and still have space to move. His thickness and heaviness feel amazing in her hands as he grips and squeezes at her hips in pleasure. Naruto is getting turned on all over again thinking how amazing he'd feel filling her up and moving inside her.

Sasuke is kissing at her jaw and neck until he can't hold it in any longer and just leans against her and moans openly. He's gripping tightly at her hips and thrusts inside her closed fists. His precum quickly slicks up the inside of her fists and he slides in and out easily. Naruto imagines this is her cunt he is thrusting into and how deeply he'd reach inside her. Her own thoughts drift away into pleasure again until Sasuke reaches for the tissues on the counter. For sure her hips will have finger-shaped bruises from how tightly he's gripping her as he cums in the tissue, his jaw clenched up, letting out air through his teeth.

How wrong it is, Naruto thinks, for all his thick cum to end up in a tissue instead of inside her.

Sasuke rests his forehead against hers as he catches his breath. Then he takes her face in his hands and looks at her. There is something in his dark eyes, a gentleness and something more. Sasuke leans in to kiss her slowly and deeply.

"You really have to go now."

Naruto sighs. "I know."

Sasuke is already pushing away from her and turning around when Naruto grips the back of his neck and his hair and forces him to look at her. Her eyebrows are scrunched together and her eyes are pinning him down.

"You bastard. Who do you think you are? Thinking you can just come in here and distract me like that? I have a job to do. You can't just come in here whenever you want to get off."

Sasuke looks at her. The intensity Naruto possesses was one of the first things that had drawn Sasuke to her. Her being intense and rough with him now makes the tips of Sasuke's fingers tingle with the need to push her down and remind her how much she obviously liked him having his way with her.

"Your words say one thing. But the taste of your cum on my tongue now says something completely different."

The crunch between Naruto's eyebrows disappears and she blushes.

"You bastard," she curses and lets him go. "Saying bastardly things again. Get out of here, I have a job to do. And be careful - if someone catches you back here, what the fuck am I supposed to say!?"

Sasuke smirks an arrogant Uchiha smirk. "The truth."

Naruto rolls her eyes at him.

"Hn. On a more serious note. Do you want to go out tomorrow?" Sasuke asks.

Naruto thinks for a moment. "Sure. I've something in the morning but I should be free after that. But let's talk more about it later over text, I have to focus now. By the way, are you staying for the show?"

"I can't," Sauske says. "I have family matters to attend to with my brother."

Naruto nods and not-so-politely reminds him again to get out of there because she's late.

Sasuke goes out the door. The euphoric feeling at the fortunate turn of events hadn't stopped filling up Sasuke's chest since last night and now that he had seen Naruto again, although briefly, he felt stupid for not reaching out to her sooner. They could have done that much sooner. But things were finally falling into place and Sasuke feels like he is floating on a cloud, especially after the very satisfying orgasm he'd just had.

Sasuke is so distracted with this new feeling of fulfillment that he doesn't notice the man watching him exit from the backstage area. Gaara had just come back from his errands and was on his way to the back of the stage when he recognizes Sasuke as the man Naruto had left with last night. By the little smile on the man's face and the way his hair is displaced, Gaara can infer exactly what he had been behind the stage for. Surely without permission.

Naruto runs to the make up room. Luckily, Konan is just getting out of Ino's chair when Naruto arrives. When Naruto sits down in the chair under the bright lights, Naruto notices the makeup artist's eyes drift down to her neck.

Ino frowns. "Girl. I'm gonna need heavy-duty coverage for those." Naruto turns around to rummage through her bags for full-coverage foundation and concealer for the marks Sasuke had so possessively left on her. Hidan overhears the exchange and comes to investigate (but in reality, to tease).

"Aw, Naru-chan. Did whatever made you leave early last night have a name?" He teases with a wide grin and amused eyes.

Naruto rolls her eyes. There's no hiding it now that Hidan knew.

The whole cast bowls down as the public applauds at the end of the play. As the lead, Naruto accepts some beautiful bouquets and congrats. When she goes behind the stage, there is a man with orange hair waiting for her next to Gaara.

"Ah, pleasure to meet you, Naruto-san. My name is Yahiko, I'm the director working with Gaara-san on the World of Pain movie…"

Sasuke attends dinner with Itachi and Shisui to talk about the family business Shisui was currently running for all of them. Sasuke finds himself checking on his phone often under the table to see if Naruto has responded to him. He expects her show would go until later.

What he doesn't expect though is for Naruto to text him back saying something has come up and she'd have to take a raincheck for tomorrow. Itachi takes notice of Sasuke's initially very good mood and of the frown on his face now.

The next morning, Sasuke wakes up to the sound of his phone ringing. Much to Sasuke's disappointment, it is not Naruto but Suigetsu.

"Yo yo yo," Suigetsu is beaming on the other side of the line. "Didn't wake you up, did I?"

"Of course you did. It's seven in the morning on a Sunday," Sasuke groans.

"What! Seven a.m.! Man, this cocaine must've been some good shit, I didn't even know it was morning."

Sasuke feels like rolling his eyes at his friend. Now that they were out of school for a few weeks, Suigetsu had lived up to his aspiration during the semester when he had sworn he'd party every day during their break.

"What do you want?"

"Man, you're always so grumpy. Or am I interrupting something?" Suigetsu goes on to laugh hard at his own joke.

"Suigetsu. I'm hanging up."

"Wait wait!" Suigetsu sobers up. "Hold up. I'm calling because you've been ignoring my texts! Seriously, how rude! You never told me if you're coming to the pool party at my villa today?"

"I didn't ignore your texts. I answered several times that I'm not coming."

"Aw, Sasu-chan-"

"Don't call me that."

"Ignoring my invitation would have been less painful than declining! Seriously, you should come. I promise there won't be any shady shit! Well, a little bit, but it's actually a very casual party and you can leave any time if it gets too much for you."

"No."

"Come on Sasukeee! We survived two semesters together and you can't come to my lousy ass casual pool party? The villa is only thirty minutes away from you up in the forest. Starts at 1pm. You can be back at home and in bed by 7pm if you wanted to! And Karin and Juugo will be there too and they miss you already-"

"It'd been only two days."

"Come onnnn, pleaaaasee pleasepleaseplease-"

"Okay fine!" Sasuke snaps. "Just stop. God. Okay, I'll come."

Suigetsu squeals on the other side of the line and Sasuke cringes. Seriously, what kind of shit was Suigetsu on? He was even more annoying than usual. But since Naruto had canceled their date for today, Sasuke was free and figured a pool party in a villa during the day would be the most PG version of the night parties Suigetsu usually threw in the city.

"Great, I'll text you the address!"

The atmosphere at the party is actually very pleasant for Sasuke. The weather is perfect and the scenery with the forest around makes for a great location. There's not a million people there like Sasuke had thought and everyone seemed to be pretty normal. All in all, Sasuke didn't regret coming. Of course, he would have preferred that Naruto was here with him or that they were alone on a date, but this was a decent substitution.

Suigetsu jumps out from somewhere, wearing a swimming suit. He wraps an arm around Sasuke's shoulders and grins at him.

"Sasukeeee! Welcome! So glad you could make it! Looking good man!" Suigetsu compliments Sasuke's swimming suit and open cotton shirt, of course both very expensive. "Are you here alone?" Suigetsu looks around, surprised. Then he leans into Sasuke, "What happened with the mega hottie you left with the other night?"

"Hn."

Suigetsu squeaks. Again. Wtf, Sasuke thinks.

"So you did do iiitt! Tell me all about it!"

Sasuke pushes Suigetsu off him. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Please Sasuke. You don't just leave with a woman like that and not fuck her into the mattress or let that goddess ride you all night long. I'm SO happy for you though! I was starting to think you're gay and into me or something!"

Sasuke frowns. "Why would you think I'd ever be into your goofy ass?"

"Because I'm like one of two people you talk to that you're not related to!" Suigetsu leans in, puts a hand next to his mouth and continues in a lower voice, "I mean, I've never swung that way, but hey, can't really say no to a hot dude like you now, can I?"

Sasuke's frown deepens. "I'm not asking"

"Whew, this Uchiha charisma, I just can't!" Suigetsu waves with a hand at his face and throws his head back as he laughs at Sasuke's hilarious reaction.

"You're drunk," Sasuke concludes.

"And you're not drunk enough! What the fuck Uchiha, let loose a little bit!" Suigetsu tops off Sasuke's glass with alcohol. He grabs Sasuke's arm and takes him to mingle with other guests.
