Summer Heat

Chapter 2: Unexpected Passion

After leaving Hinata with Naruto, Sakura returns to the living room to find Sasuke still there, nursing his last drink.

"Everybody's gone," Sakura starts, "and Naruto is in bed. Don't you think it's time we left?"

"Y-yup," he responds, garbling his speech from an 'overdose' of alcohol. "There's just one problem with that. B-but...it's a little embarrassing. Can I...can I...can I trust you with a secret?"

"Of course you can!" Sakura answers enthusiastically. "You can tell me anything, Sasuke!"

"Well...the truth is...I know I need to go home now, but...but... I um...I can't stand up." He faces the floor with this embarrassing admission.

Sakura smiles. She takes hold of Sasuke's arms and pulls him to his wobbly feet, and he lifts his head to face her. He staggers in place, holding onto Sakura's arms to keep him upright. Then, when he thinks he is stable, he lets go...only to quickly fall forward, raising his arms instinctively in front of him. But his hands land directly onto Sakura's upper chest...and slide down! They come to a stop when he feels two handfuls of Sakura-breast under his palms. A shock of heat circulates through Sakura's body, as her breath catches and her heartbeat picks up. Sasuke's mouth falls open...but he doesn't immediately let go.

"Sss-Sa-Sakura,"...Sasuke draws out wantingly, his eyes clouding over with sudden desire. Aroused, he lets go her bust to grab both her arms with his, and pulls her into him. He quickly wraps his arms around her, and she follows suit, her heart pounding furiously.

Sakura feels his already-stiff erection stabbing into her. A thrill unlike anything she's ever felt before rushes her body, immobilizing her.

Sasuke lands a hot kiss on Sakura's delicious-looking lips. She relishes the long-awaited lip contact, but she's not the only one. He feels the same erotic awakening she does from touching and kissing like this. He gives no thought to his current state, or how he may feel tomorrow.

Sakura forgoes all rational thought, and melds to Sasuke's body, still locking lips.

Because she doesn't complain or stop him—and even seems to be enjoying it—Sasuke removes a hand from Sakura's back to take hold of one of her breasts again...and squeezes.

Sakura "mmms" heartily at the attention, feeling weak at the knees. But before she allows this exhilarating experience to continue, one rational thought intrudes into her mind-where she currently is. Breaking the kiss reluctantly, she utters, "S-Sasuke...we...we can't do this..."

Before she can finish her sentence, Sasuke lets her out of his grip. "Damn it, I should have seen that coming," he says with disappointment and frustration.

"No! Th-that's not what I meant!" she pleads. "I just mean...not here. This is Naruto's place! And he and Hinata are both still here! Why don't we...go to your house?" Her voice is inquisitive and hopeful, yet insecure and nervous. However, she manages a warm smile, her cheeks still rosy from the rush.

Sasuke gives Sakura a sideways smile. "Is that all?" he asks seductively. Sakura smiles and wraps her arm around his waist from the side. Then Sasuke wraps his arm around Sakura's shoulder for support—though that isn't his only reason. Then the pair sets out for Sasuke's house.

The long walk there sobers Sasuke up almost fully. But he doesn't regret having drunk too much, due to the gift he knows he's about to receive because of it.

He opens the door to his home and ushers Sakura in. They kick off their shoes. Sakura begins to make comment on Sasuke's décor when he suddenly silences her with a fierce kiss that summons back the earlier heat rush.
