Chapter 10| Crossroad: Hearts Gamble 💋


Kakashi's gaze was fixed on the dancing flames he had just conjured to life, their flickering light casting playful shadows against the walls of the small cave. The mission had taken an unexpected turn, evolving from a routine reconnaissance task into something that had his senses tingling with both intrigue and uncertainty.

Their undercover ruse as a couple added an extra layer of complexity to the situation. The necessity of maintaining their cover meant that they couldn't unleash their full capabilities just yet. As they sought refuge from the unexpected storm, the cave had become their temporary sanctuary, sheltering them from both the elements and the watchful eyes of their pursuers.


Kakashi's mind, however, was far from the mission's intricacies. His thoughts had been taken hostage by a different kind of storm—one that raged within him, fueled by desires. Sakura's presence, so close yet unknowingly distant, was a magnetic force he struggled to resist.

He turned to observe her, feigning casualness as he took in the scene. Sakura was crouched on the cave floor, her focus dedicated to setting up their sleeping arrangements. Her soaked clothes clung to her form, tracing the contours of her body with an almost tantalizing precision. The droplets of rainwater glistening on her skin added to the allure, accentuating every curve.


Kakashi felt his breath catch in his throat, his heart hammering with an intensity that rivaled the storm outside. The fire's light played upon her features, casting a soft glow that made her seem both ethereal and achingly real. He tried to shake off the images that his mind was conjuring, images that were entirely inappropriate given the circumstances. His eyes glued to her ass, wishing he could grab and hold her to him...


As Sakura's voice broke through his reverie, he blinked and focused on her words, almost as if he had been jolted awake from a tantalizing dream. "Kakashi," she said, her voice a gentle tug on his attention.

He turned his head towards her, charcoal-colored eyes meeting green ones. The firelight danced in her eyes, reflecting a warmth that stirred something deep within him. He masked his own internal tempest behind his usual demeanor, his eyes curving into a faint smile.
