Chapter 19-Mature Content Warning

My head became cloudy again once the thick curtain in the doorway fell closed and I paused to take in my surroundings in the cramped hallway. The scent of sweat, alcohol, and the mysterious spices in the air overwhelmed my senses. The memory of Gaara's bright eyes set my body in motion and I hoped I was going in the right direction. My face felt stiff from crying and I fought to forget the feeling of the king's fingers wrapped around my neck.

I tried, unsuccessfully, to avoid touching any of the incredibly fit and attractive party-goers who were still gyrating to the music all around me as I rushed in a dazed panic through hall after hall. Sweat dusted every inch of my visible skin as I pulled my arm out of yet another inebriated person's grasp that wanted me to join them.

"Lady Sakura? Our king wished to spend the evening with you. What are you doing out here?"

My attention was pulled to the sultry features of the guide from earlier who'd led me to Gaara and Kankuro's room. She easily grasped onto my wrist before I could explain that the Sunagakure leader had let me leave.

Before I could speak a word, a larger hand clasped around my other arm and I looked over in fear before sighing in relief when Sasuke's angry glare met my gaze. The woman immediately released me with a look of fear, "I shall verify he's no longer in need of your attendance. Excuse me." She scurried expertly through the hallway in the direction I'd come.

I looked over at my savior with a grateful smile, intending on thanking him for the help, only to see he'd turned his intense stare onto me. My smile faded into a confused frown, "W-what's wrong?"

He wordlessly released my arm and moved closer to me. Nervously, I backed away until I hit a wall and couldn't physically create any more distance between us. He put a hand firmly against the wall and leered down at me with a dark look crossing his handsome features. Out of nowhere, the familiar red glow of his vampirism appeared, shocking me. The man looked downright enraged and I felt my limbs start to shake slightly in fear when his face grew closer to mine.

To my surprise, he kissed my lips roughly with an intensity I hadn't felt since that time in his bed when we almost had sex. My hands instinctively jumped up against his chest, his free hand wrapping tightly around the wrist closest to it.

A familiar heat exploded in my lower abdominal area and a surprised gasp allowed him to slide his tongue expertly against mine, deepening the kiss and allowing him to angle his head in a way that left me absolutely no room to escape.

The arousal I was experiencing was on a whole new level. It was like he was my own water source in this desert and I was very dehydrated.

My free hand moved on its own and slid up to the nape of his neck, giving his soft hair a light tug and earning a small growl from him in return. We were suddenly just another pair of inebriated partiers feeling hot and heavy in the halls of the castle. For what felt like years, we fought for dominance over one another's mouth before he suddenly pulled his lips from mine, dipping slightly lower so he could trail eager kisses over my neck. I panted for air, looking up at the ceiling as though asking God how he'd created such a perfect creature.

My whole body let out a jolt when Sasuke's deep voice rumbled clearly in my ear, "Let's get out of here."

I met his gaze as he pulled away and couldn't do anything but nod as I tried to keep from tearing his clothes off right then and there. He turned without missing a beat and pulled me by my wrist through what felt like the entire building.

Finally, we reached our room. My head still spun with the alcohol I'd drank and whatever was filling the air reached even this part of the castle.

To my surprise, Sasuke sat on the edge of the bed and pulled me down to straddle his hips, capturing my lips in his once more. I could feel the toned muscles of his body against mine as he released my wrist so he could hold each of my hips roughly against his own. Our tongues swirled in an intricate dance as my hands danced eagerly over whatever parts of his body they could reach.

All of the nervousness I'd felt toward being intimate with him was long gone as my hips ground against his on instinct. A rumble left his throat and his grip tightened as he pulled me against him harder when I repeated the motion. The foreign sensation of his arousal pushing against me through both of our clothes only proved to turn me on more.

I tried to close the distance between us even further, but the tight dress that covered the bandeau top and shorts I was wearing prevented me from doing so. Sasuke's hands left my hips and the sound of clothing ripping met my ears. I pulled my lips from his in shock, and his mouth darted down to my collarbone as I pulled the remainder of the teal cloth off of my skin and tossed it haphazardly away.

My eyes shot down to see him burying his face in my chest, leaving hungry kisses anywhere he could. I bravely unclasped the bandeau top and tossed it away as well. He met my gaze hungrily for just a moment before pressing his lips against the skin in between my breasts. I let my eyes slip closed and my head fell back in pleasure as I enjoyed the sensations waving through my body.

This felt like freedom.

This felt like a culmination of everything good I've experienced in my life up 'til now.

My hips continued to grind against him, earning small sounds of appreciation every once and a while from him as he explored the small curves of my body. His calloused hands brushed against every inch of my exposed skin. I eventually grew impatient and tugged his shirt up over his head so I could feel his skin against mine.

My eyes danced over his sculpted muscles shamelessly before locking onto his glowing ones once more. I wonder if I looked as starving as I felt.

His lips came up against mine so they could tango like before. Heat pooled in every inch of my body, but it felt even hotter than lava where my womanhood rubbed against his sex. The most thrilling sensation erupted anew with each move we made against each other.

My body acted on its own and he let me do what I pleased, seemingly happy to let me explore as he slowly lay back against the mattress. I felt the corner of his lips turn up in a smirk when a shiver of excitement shot through my body. His hands kneaded my small breasts expertly as my hands danced down his torso.

I paused for only a moment to give myself a second to confirm my want to perform these actions before one of my hands moved to hold myself up and the other slid down in between our bodies until it gently caressed the rock hard bulge through the front of his pants.

His eyes shot open and my body froze for just a moment when the expression he offered was more intense than I expected. He pulled his lips from mine, but I was determined to keep going and moved down to trace kisses into his neck. It vibrated against my mouth as he spoke in a raspier voice than normal, "Sakura."

My hand moved against his manhood and I could feel him swallow in what would be a nervous manner if I could fathom Sasuke ever being nervous. His hands pressed against my shoulders gently, but I fought against him.

"You don't have to do this."

I pulled back and met his gaze, which was still a glowing blood red, with a hard stare, "I want to."

He searched my gaze for a moment before giving in. Our lips met in a more subdued kiss than before. I pressed against him, relishing in the sensation of his sweaty skin directly against mine. The kiss re-evolved into the passionate one from before in mere moments before I decided that it was now or never to take the next step.

I returned my hand to the front of his pants, this time slipping it down under the cloth to feel him with no barrier. His bright eyes locked onto mine and I could tell he wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something I was uncomfortable with but was also fighting to close them and just enjoy the experience.

I pulled my lips from his, effectively breaking our eye contact, and slowly danced kisses down his neck and torso until I could wrestle the zipper on his pants down so I could pull them down slightly and free his sex from its restraints.

My nervousness threatened to return when I saw the sheer size of it. Ino and I had to take sex education classes in school. There was information on national averages and the prince appeared to be almost double that measurement.

I experimented with moving my hands up and down it until I got a positive reaction from Sasuke, and then continued to evolve the motion until it was clear that he was enjoying the experience thoroughly. I watched his face curiously, tempted to touch myself to the look of pleasure on his normally guarded face.

I sat up on my knees and watched his face as I bravely enveloped the tip of his member in my mouth. His eyes shot open in shock and he shot up into a sitting position, causing me to freeze and pull away slightly, "Did I do it wrong? I'm sorry!"

He shook his head and to my absolute surprise, looked away with a red hue dusting his cheeks after looking down at me, "No. Keep going."

My mouth dropped open for a moment in shock at his almost shy reaction, but it re-energized me to earn praise from him. I continued the motion I was doing with my hands, looking up to see that he seemed to want to stay sitting up on the edge of the bed instead of laying back.

He locked his gaze with mine, making that electricity pool in my lower abdomen once more with just his expression. I slowly re-enveloped the tip of his member in my mouth, watching his face for a negative reaction and not receiving one. His eyebrows furrowed slightly when I slid more of it into my mouth, going as far as I could until the tip of it was pushing against the back of my throat.

A sound rumbled through his chest and I took the response as encouragement to speed up the movement when I slid it out of my mouth before retaking it in. To my surprise, one of his hands reached up to wrap into my hair and guided my head back and forth at the pace he wanted. After struggling to figure it out for a few moments, I finally figured out how to breathe correctly and felt more confident in my actions. It must've changed my movements because a low moan rumbled from his throat and I looked back up to meet his gaze as he pumped in and out of my mouth.

He had a hungry look on his face that reminded me of the first time we'd kissed, only encouraging me further. We continued to hold each other's gaze for a minute or so before I felt him twitch against my tongue. I knew he was close to climaxing and didn't really know what to do.

His grip on my hair tightened and he thrusted into my mouth harder, his eyes glazing over as he clenched his jaw. I almost gagged as he pushed almost his entire length down my throat, but I somehow managed not to. His member twitched and throbbed a few more times before a hot, sweet, and salty liquid exploded and I mindlessly swallowed it without even thinking about it.

His hand in my hair relaxed and he slowly pulled out of my mouth with an unreadable expression. I put a hand against my lips with a red face. He met my gaze with his eyes fading back down to their usual black, "Sakura..."

I could tell by his tone what he was going to say and I held up both hands in defense, "Don't! Don't apologize!"

He studied my face with that same odd expression before nodding and pulling me up to my feet by my arm. He kissed both of my hands softly before pulling back to hold my gaze, "Are you alright?"

I nodded, face burning as the reality of the situation sank in.

I really just did that to Sasuke Uchiha.

"Did I…do okay?"

His dark eyes widened slightly and he surprised me by letting out a surprised chuckle. He pulled my body closer, kissing my stomach since he was sitting on the low bed and I was standing, before meeting my gaze with a warm look,"You did well."

A sigh of relief got stuck in my throat as he pulled my head down so he could kiss me. Slowly, he kicked his pants the rest of the way off and guided me on top of him. His fingers massaged against me as I straddled his lap, pulling small sounds of appreciation from my throat. My hands held onto his shoulders for balance as he wrapped his free arm around to hold the small of my waist so I wouldn't fall.

My breathing picked back up quickly as my body reheated in response to his touches. His tongue swirled around mine dominantly, making my brow furrow. A small wave ecstasy rolled up my body and my hips moved slightly in response. I had to pull my mouth from his so I could gasp at the pleasure.

My whole body jolted in shock when he suddenly slid a finger inside. My eyes shot open to lock onto his and I realized he'd been studying me the whole time. My skin was blushing, but it felt so good when he slowly started to move his long digit in and out that I couldn't care all that much.

He rested his forehead against mine with a confident expression as I struggled before him. His name left my mouth breathlessly when he added a second finger and he seemed to like that. A whimper left my lips when the tight bundle in my lower body started to become difficult to withstand. My hips moved against him instinctively as I got closer and closer.

After glancing down at my body, he re-met my eyes with a smirk, "You're close, aren't you?"

His teasing voice was husky and attractive, throwing me over the edge. My thighs tightened atop his as my insides convulsed around his fingers. My teeth grit tightly to mask the pleasured moan that tried to escape. This was even better than last time. My eyes wanted to squeeze closed, but something in the way he studied my face made me keep them open and locked onto his.

When the brilliant sensation came to an end, a relieved sigh slid from my lips as I tried to catch my breath. His fingers slid out of me and put them in his mouth with a triumphant look across his face. My face burnt in response, which I'm sure he found amusing.

Before I could climb off him, Sasuke lifted his hips and moved back to lay across the bed properly before slowly turning onto his side so I could fall gently onto the mattress, all without breaking eye contact. He leaned in and kissed me before pulling back to look at my face again. His fingers danced up the curve of my bare hip, causing goosebumps to rise.

"You're so sensitive."

He'd said that last time, too. My blush deepened with humiliation, "Sorry."

His fingers turned into his entire hand running over my body as he followed it with his eyes before they danced back up to meet mine once more, "I like it."
