Chapter 28

Bright morning sun shone through the large windows and onto Sakura's face. She groaned and scrunched up her face as she rolled away from the annoying brightness and buried her face into Kakashi's back. The movement causing him to stir as a result.

"Hmm, you 'kay?" he mumbled as she snaked her arm under his and placed it on his chest.

Sakura sighed as she gave him a tired hug and felt him yawn as he brought up a hand and placed it over hers.

"No… the sun woke me."

"That stupid sun." he groaned, "I'll save you from it."

Kakashi shifted and turned over to face her and Sakura buried herself further into his chest as he wrapped an arm around her and pulled her flush against him. She smiled as he rubbed soothing circles into her naked back.

"Thank you, darling. What time is it anyway?"

"Too early." he replied, "We went to bed really late after all."

Memories of last night, well, a few hours earlier, came back to Sakura then. She couldn't help but smile harder at how happy she suddenly felt.

"My bad." she teased, "I don't hear you complaining too much though."

A low chuckle rumbled against her as he hugged her tightly and kissed the side of her head.

"I'd never complain about such a thing!"

They continued lay like that for a while afterwards. Slowly they shifted as they cuddled until Kakashi was the one snuggling up to her.

"I love you." she heard him whisper as he buried his face further into the crook of her neck and took a deep breath.

Sakura brought up her free arm as she turned and pulled him into a tight embrace. He responded as she felt his hand half slide under her shirt as he loosely wrapped his arm around her hips and trail his thumb back and forth against her lower back.

"I love you too, darling." she whispered as she idly ran her fingers through his unruly mop of hair.

Kakashi tucked his head further under her chin as she spoke. She loved when they were like this. She loved when he would let her hold him like he often held her. She wanted him to be able to come to her and just forget the world.

"You bring me so much peace." he continued as she felt him kiss her throat lazily.

Sakura just hugged him closer as she hummed for a second.

"I hope to always bring you peace."

'I can't believe I nearly gave this all up. He's the love of my life and I refuse to let anything else come between us.'

She closed her eyes as she felt him kiss more along her throat and enjoyed every second.

"I'm tired, but I can't sleep." he mumbled after a few minutes.

Sakura rolled back to her back then as an idea came to her and leaned over to kiss him which he eagerly returned.

"Oh?" she whispered when she broke the kiss, "Since I don't think I'll be going back to sleep anytime soon either, mind keeping me company?"

A growl came from Kakashi then as he moved to kiss her neck a few times. He clearly understood what she meant by her subtle statement.

"Oh, I wouldn't mind keeping you company at all."

Sakura squealed in delight when he rolled them over and ran his hands under her shirt.

Kakashi still couldn't believe they were finally having sex.

'Patience is definitely virtue.' he idly thought as Sakura helped him take off his shirt she had been wearing.

He laughed out loud when the pinkette pushed him backwards into the middle of the large king bed as she crawled on top of him.

"Not holding back anymore, eh?" he teased as he ran his hands up her bare thighs.

He stared in awe as the morning sun shone brightly onto her, giving her nearly naked body a breathtaking ethereal glow. The flirtatious smile she gave him made him fall more in love, which he thought wasn't possible at this point.

"Don't tell me you expected me to be some meek and submissive woman in bed, did you?" she said in a sultry voice as she leaned down and kissed along his jaw and gently bit his earlobe.

Kakashi chuckled some more as he trailed his hands up her sides and made to palm her breast, eliciting a breathless moan from her.

"Meek and submissive? Never. You know I love a strong willed woman. And you, my love, are the strongest in every sense of the word."

He felt her smile against him as she kissed her way down his throat and begin to shimmy down his body.

'Oh, god. She's going to make me lose my mind.'

His breathing hitched and screwed his eyes shut when he felt her tongue trail from his belly button down to the edge of his sweats before she softly kissed that spot. He knew his dick was rock hard at this point. How could it not be? He didn't think he's ever been teased in such a way before and he was living for it.

He groaned lowly as small hands ran up his thighs before one softly palmed him through his pants as he felt the other tug at the strings of his sweats.

"Little excited, eh?" Sakura teased in that tone only for his ears as he felt her tug the edge of his sweats down.

"I'm literal putty in your hands." he replied as he raised his hips and let her pull down the sweats and throw them somewhere into the room.

Sakura just hummed happily at his honesty. It turned him on more knowing she was so confident. This was the woman he had fallen in love with. He never once wanted her to be "meek and submissive" in bed. He loved her cocky and strong personality and would fully allow himself to enjoy this to the max.

He sucked in a breath as she wrapped her fingers around him and gave him a slow single stroke. He finally opened his eyes as he pushed himself up onto his elbows and watched as she leaned down and stuck her tongue out as she licked him from base to tip before she opened wide and took as much of him in as she could.

"Fuck!" he cried out as he felt her hot wet mouth surround his cock, "Oh, damn, Sakura…"

He bit down on his lip as he felt her hum as she started to bob up and down on him. The vibrations shooting through him as he felt his body catch fire.

'God, I'm the luckiest man in the world. I can't put her through anymore pain…'

Kakashi reached down and brushed her hair out of the way so he could watch her please him. Bright green eyes looked up to him as she never faltered her movements and he couldn't help but smile at her. She released him then and continued to pump him as she smiled back.

"You look quite happy." she teased him with a sly smile.

The CEO sat up the rest of the way as he reached down and encouraged Sakura to sit back up. She stood on her knees as she straddled his lap. He smiled up to her as he slowly tugged down her panties while he replied.

"I'm always happy when I'm with you. I just happen to get extra excited seeing you be so naughty in bed with me like this."

A sweet giggle escaped her as she fell back and wiggled the rest of the way out of her panties and flung them into the room. Kakashi used this as his chance to lean over and grab a condom from the nightstand. When he leaned back onto the bed, he felt his jaw slack as he watched as Sakura stroked herself. His hand instinctively went to his cock as he slowly pumped himself as he watched her fingers tease herself.

"I have a question." she spoke up, never once breaking her motion, "Did you ever touch yourself to thoughts of me?"

Kakashi nodded yes as he picked his pace slightly when a soft moan left her.

"Did you?" he asked back.

"Yeah." she grinned bigger as the blush spread across her cheeks, "But reality has proved to be much, much better."

She stopped touching herself then and beckoned him to come to her. He quickly tore open the briefly forgotten foil packet and got the condom on. He loved how easily he was wrapped around her finger. He never focused so much on a partner before and now he wanted nothing more than to please her in any and every way possible.

He leaned down as he positioned himself at her entrance and kissed the corner of her mouth softly.

"Much better."

Sakura couldn't help the loud moan that left her as he sank into her.

Kakashi knew exactly how to make her feel amazing, from his words to his actions. He was so patient and she wanted to reward him for his efforts.

'I just want to make him feel good. Make us feel good.'

She brought her hands up to his face and pulled him down into a kiss as he pulled out and pushed back in causing warm shivers to run down her spine.

"I love you, Sakura." he groaned as he started up a steady pace.

"I love you, Kakashi." she panted as pulled him back in for another kiss.

After a couple minutes, Kakashi leaned back and pulled out and Sakura looked at him in confusion. Before she could ask him if anything was wrong, she watched as he scooted off the bed and turned and motioned for her to come towards him.

"What's wrong?" she asked and she made her way over to him.

"I just wanna try something." he mumbled as he gently guided her and he stood in between her legs, "Just trying to help you feel good."

Sakura smiled brightly up to him as she leaned back onto her elbows and watched as he grabbed her hips and scooted her ass closer to the edge of the bed and positioned and slowly sunk back into her. She let her head fall back as the pleasure shot through her as he picked his pace back up.

"Yes!" she cried out from the position, "Don't stop…"

She felt as Kakashi tugged her arm to sit up, never slowing down, and pull her into a kiss. Sakura gasped and quickly wrapped her arms around his neck to hold herself to him as the new angle caused him to hit her dead on to her sweet spot.

"I guess my assumption was right." he playfully teased as he held onto her thighs.

"Oh god, I'm going to cum!" she revealed as she let her head fall forward and against his chest and her hands slip down and gripped his biceps.

Kakashi only picked up his pace as she felt herself soaring higher and then suddenly slip before she could register what has happened. She buried her face into his chest to stifle her moan as the intensity of it all hit her. She dug her nails into his arms as he continued pumping into her.

"Oh, fuck…" he loudly moaned in her ear as he released his hold on her thighs and wrapped and arm around her waist and firmly gripped her hip.

As she came down from her high, Sakura felt as Kakashi's thrusts slowed down and felt his cock twitch as he own release came to him with his orgasm.

A few more moments passed as he found his bearings and she felt him pull back and out of her. She looked up to find him smiling down at her and felt a big smile came to her as well. He leaned down and kissed her softly.

"That was quite intense." she admitted when she pulled back for air, "I don't remember the last time I experienced an orgasm like that, if at all."

Kakashi hummed as he kissed the corner of her mouth again.

"Told you I wanted to make you feel good." he said pridefully, "I don't back down on promises."

Sakura just grinned goofily at him stroking his own ego.

"Okay, now make another promise to me."

A silver brow quirked up at her proposal, silently asking her to continue. She brought up her hand and let a single finger trailed down his chest before she spoke.

"Promise me that you'll make me an amazing breakfast of waffles and fresh fruit."

Kakashi just laughed at her request as he nodded. He looked down and she followed his gaze and watched as he pulled off the used condom. She felt a small blush come to her as she watched him turn and toss it in the small trash bin next to his night stand.

"Let's go clean up and I will gladly make you the best breakfast ever."

The rest of the morning and day in general was spent napping, talking and laughing, eating meals in bed that he prepared them, and making love a handful more times. Kakashi couldn't have asked for life to be more perfect than it was now. It was like everything had finally fallen into place.

It was well after sunset now and Kakashi and Sakura were laying in bed watching a random cooking show when he felt her move and sit up.

"I'm gonna go take a shower." she told him as she scooted to the edge of the bed.

The CEO rested his arms behind his head as looked over to her and nodded. Sakura stood then and started to walk away from him and to the bathroom and he turned back to watch the show. He saw out of the corner of his eye as she stopped and turned back to him. He looked back over and found her studying him with a quirked pink brow.

"Is everything alright?"

A smug smile came to her then.

"Wanna join me?"

Kakashi just blinked and then shook his head as he smirked at her.

"If I ever say no, I want you to check me into a clinic. Okay?" he replied as he tossed the blankets to the side and got up and made his way over to his girlfriend.

Sakura just laughed as they walked into the bathroom.

"Don't get any ideas, I'm just asking you to join me to shower, not fool around, mister. We've had enough sex in the last less than twenty four hours, don't you think? I figured this could be a nice form of intimacy for us to share." she revealed as she grabbed towels and sat them on the counter.

He just held his hands up in defeat when she turned to face him.

"No worries, darling. This actually sounds like a fun idea, never done this before."

Sakura looked surprised at his reply.

"Really? You've never showered with a lover before?" she asked as she went to reached into the walk-in shower and turned on the hot water.

"Have you?" he asked back.

A small blush came to her then.

"Well… no." she whispered under her breath, "This is the first time I've done this too."

Kakashi smirked as he took off his shirt and tossed it in the hamper.

"Then why'd you assume that I've done this before?" his curiosity started to peak.

Sakura bit her lip then and looked away as she shimmied out of her panties.

"I'm sorry… I just figured given your, uh, past relationships, that it was something you've done with at least one of them before. I didn't mean to offend you or anything." she apologized.

Kakashi just nodded a couple times as he stepped up to her. He reached up and tilted her chin up so he could get a clearer look into her eyes.

"Hey, hey, don't worry. No offense was taken. I can see why you thought it. If I'm gonna be honest, I wasn't the best boyfriend then. As you already know. So, I never divulged in intimacy with any of them. I was rather, uh, reserved in that area."

He leaned down and gave her a tender kiss before he continued.

"Like I said too, and I know it's literally the most cliché thing to say, but you're different. This is different. It's not a fling. I want everything with you. The love, happiness, and the intimacy. I love you, Sakura." he spoke quietly as he pulled back from the kiss.

Sakura just smiled warmly up to him before she nodded.

"You're definitely the more sappy of the two in this relationship." she teased with a wink.

He couldn't help the quiet laugh that left him as she turned away and stripped off his shirt that he lent her last night and stepped into the walk-in shower and walked over and dipped her head under the hot spray of water.

Kakashi just stood there for a moment watching her as Sakura wet her hair and body. He let his eyes wander down her naked form. She was extremely in shape and toned yet her body still held it's gentle curves. He couldn't believe that she was self conscious about herself.

He noticed the bruising was completely gone from her skin and returned to its usual pale and creamy complexion. His mind flickered back to the countless times he'd already trailed his hands, lips, and tongue over nearly every inch of her body in the last twenty-four hours.

He shook his head before he let his mind wander too far. Stripping out of his sweats, he stepped in and made the short distance over to her. He leaned down and gave her a soft kiss on the corner of her mouth, letting the spray of water dampen him in the process.

Sakura opened her eyes and smiled up to him then and he felt himself wash over with warmth at the sight. She stepped to the side and grabbed her shampoo while he moved under the steaming water to soak himself.

"Don't you find it ironic?" he asked as he watched her work her pink locks into a lather.

A single green eye cracked up and peered over at him then.

"What do you mean?" Sakura asked her own question as she stepped back next to him and nudged him from under the water so she could rinse her hair out.

"Your name is Sakura and you use cherry blossom scented shampoo and conditioner and bodywash." he pointed to her bottles before he grabbed his own shampoo and worked it into his messy mop, "I noticed it the other week. Oh, and your hair is pink!"

A lopsided smile came to her as she shrugged her shoulders.

"I can't help it if my name also happens mean something that also smells good."

He just shook his head in amusement as they switched places and she started putting conditioner in as he rinsed out his shampoo.

"Did your parents purposely give you the name Sakura because of your hair color?"

She hummed for a second as she thought over her reply.

"Not because of my hair, no. They said they always planned to name me it once they found out I was a girl. I mean my last name means "spring" and cherry blossoms bloom in spring. I need to show you photos one day, but my dad had very dark reddish pink hair and my mom had blonde hair. I guess I just won the genetic lottery." she informed him as she started rinsing out her hair, "What about you?"

Kakashi gave her an odd look at her question.

"What about me?"

Sakura turned and grabbed a washrag and poured some of his body wash onto it before she turned and stepped up to him.

"Your last name is Hatake, it means "field," right?" she asked as she started washing his body.

He looked down to study her while she remained focused as she rubbed the cloth across his chest and down to his abs. The scent of his spiced body wash began to fill the humid air around them.

"It does." he answered.

He felt his breath hitch as she pressed her body against his as she trailed the soapy rag to his back and moved it in lazy circles up and down. She looked up to him with a raised brow while she continued to speak.

"And your first name is Kakashi. That means "scarecrow," yes?"

"Yes, it does." he replied as he leaned his head down to give her a quick kiss.

Sakura just hummed happily for a second before she took a half step back and took his arm and began washing it.

"Scarecrows protect their field, right? So did your parents name you Kakashi because they knew that you'd protect "the field" someday?" she explained as she switched to his other arm.

Kakashi just watched her as she finished up and looked up to him with a warm expression. Slowly turning them so he could stand under the water and let the warm water wash away the soap.

"I guess I never thought of it that way." he spoke quietly, "You really think that? That I'm meant to protect the Hatake name or something?"

He reached out and grabbed her loofah then and poured some of her cherry blossom scented bodywash and began washing her body.

"I'm not sure. We sadly will never know what your parents had in mind when they named you." she spoke in a soft tone as she turned and pulled her wet locks to the side so he could wash her shoulders and back, "I'd like to think that given your circumstances, you're meant to protect something. You've lived and survived through a lot in your life so far."

He paused as she spoke, letting the loofah linger on her side as he stared at the side of her head. She turned to look at him regarding him with insightful eyes and a small smile.

"Just wish I knew what that something was I needed to protect." he whispered as he let his gaze drop, "They killed my dad and now they're trying to kill me. What do I have that they want so badly? What do I need to protect? My name? Money? Money seems to be the only thing to kill over."

Sakura's brows furrowed slightly and a small frown appeared as she looked off to the side. Kakashi resumed washing her body and it was quiet for a while before she spoke up and broke the tense silence.

"I don't have an answer to that yet. It all kind of points to money, but why now of all times? The company hadn't even done any major investments last year before the accident." she spoke softly, before she stepped into the stream of water and pulled him along with her while she slid her arms around his waist, "But that's why I'm here. I'm protecting you while we figure out what it is you need to protect. I've been working tirelessly to figure out who could be doing this and taking the proper steps to guarantee you remain safe no matter what."

"And you've been getting hurt every time you protect me…"

Green eyes stared at him then as a frown came to her.

"It's my job."

"It's not your job to get hurt though." he pointed out.

Sakura just pursed her lips then.

"It's an occupational hazard. I've never seen such insane and impulsive tactics used before like they're using with you, so every time we've been attacked, I have to think on the fly. I'm not aiming to get hurt, but I'm not worrying about myself either since you're my top priority over everything else."

Kakashi leaned down and kissed her instead of replying. There was no point in starting a pointless fight. They'd done enough fighting in the last day, so he didn't want to sour the good mood of the day.

"I can't wait for this to be all over with." he mumbled as he trailed a few more kisses along her jaw, "I'd like to lead a normal life with you."

"Nothing about us is normal, darling." she lightly sassed, as she reached behind her and switched off the shower.

Kakashi just playfully groaned as they stepped out and grabbed the towels and handed one to her.

"Mah, Sakura. Can't you let me have any fun?" he whined as he roughly dried out his hair, "But you're right. A newly appointed CEO and a top tier bodyguard? We are an odd couple."

Once he wrapped the towel around his waist, he found that Sakura had already wrapped her hair and body up and was at the sink brushing her teeth.

"You say it as though it's a bad thing!" she smirked at him in the mirror.

The following morning was blissful as they woke up and got ready for work.

"Ah! I'm so excited to be able to go down to the office to work today! I was going stir crazy being cooped up here for the last five weeks!" Sakura sang as they cleaned up their breakfast dishes and got ready to leave.

She watched as he smiled to himself as he loaded the dishwasher.

"It is nice, yes." he replied as he stood and dried his hands off, "Hey, maybe this weekend we can maybe go on a date?"

Sakura gaped up to him as they made their way out the door.

"A date, you say? May I ask where?" she asked as they stood waiting for the elevator. She rocked back and forth on her heels as she watched him out of the corner of her eye.

Kakashi tucked his hands into his pockets and hummed thoughtfully for a second.

"I was thinking either the national art gallery across town or the natural history museum at the university? I read the museum just got a new exhibit on some ancient remains from the Wind nation."

"Art gallery!" she shot back immediately as she faced him while hopping up and down for a moment, "I haven't been to a gallery since I was a little girl! Can we go there, please?!"

Her boyfriend just laughed at her excitement and nodded to confirm her request.

Sakura's cell phone started ringing and she answered it right as the elevator door dinged and opened up.

"Sakura speaking."

"Sakura! Where are you and Kakashi right now?!" Minato yelled from the other end of the line.

Sakura froze and grabbed Kakashi's arm to stop him as he began to step into the elevator.

"We were getting ready to come down, what's wrong?"

The CEO turned and gave her a worried look as she all but dragged him back towards the apartment doors. The two guards that were stationed by his door suddenly standing at alert from her behavior.

"I was dropping off a file to your desk in Kakashi's office and we found an unmarked package sitting on his desk." the head of security informed her, "We're bringing in ANBU and a bomb squa-"

The sound of an explosion rang through the speaker before the line disconnected. Sakura gasped as she yanked Kakashi into the apartment. Suddenly the floor beneath them shook in an after shock and alarms started to blare loudly.

"What the hell was that?!" Kakashi yelled as she continued to pull them through the apartment and into their room.

Sakura looked him dead in the eye as she spoke.

"Minato found a bomb in your office. What you just heard was it blowing up. That was meant to kill us just now, Kakashi."

A/N: Oh jeez, oh dear. Lots of things happened! They've reconciled only to have this happen? What does this mean? Who put the bomb? HOW did they get a bomb into the building? What's gonna happen?

Please, please leave a review and let me know what you think is gonna happen next and what your thoughts are! I love hearing your guys reactions.

Thank you as always to Taytay95 for being my beta!
