Sand Blossom

Chapter 5: Confessions

Sakura – 24

Gaara – 24

(Sakura's POV)

"What do you need to talk about." I asked.

"I  would like to talk to you alone without prying eyes." He said. I stared  at Gaara cautiously, a little worried about what he had to say.

"It's nothing bad. I promise. Just follow me." He said, finally letting go of me, but I already missed his warmth.

I  followed him out of the living room, down the hall, and up the stairs.  We walked into his room, and he led me to seat in the window, where we  sat. I wasn't sure what to say, and Gaara was quiet. I looked into his  eyes, to see a warmth that I had never seen before. I leaned in close,  and his hand went up to cup my check, I wanted nothing more than to get  lost in his eyes.

"Sakura, I am sorry for the way that I have been acting." Gaara said.

"Why are you apologizing now?" I asked

"Because  I know that my behavior was uncalled for, and I know that it is time to  finally let someone in other than my siblings." Gaara said.

"Gaara you made me cry. I was only trying to make this marriage work." I said, holding back the tears.

"I know and I am really sorry. I never meant to hurt you." He said.

"You said some pretty hurtful things thought. You even threatened my home village." I said.

"I know, and I am sorry. I said some things that I should not have said, and I really wish that I could take them all back." Gaara said.

"We can start over, but no more hurtful words." I said.

"Thank you." Gaara said.

He leaned  and kissed me passionately, I put my arms around his neck and kissed him  back fully. I wanted more, I wanted him to show me his love. He pushed  me down on the bed, and his hands began to wonder over my body. He  pulled my shirt off and then he pulled my bottoms off. Gaara pulled away  and stripped down to his boxers. He went back to kissing me  passionately.

He massaged my breast, and I let out a moan. At my  moan Gaara growled, and it turned me on more. He nipped my neck and leaned back up to my lips. He continued to kiss me,  and then his lips left mine again and he began suck on my neck, successfully  leaving a hickey. Gaara pulled away from neck and went back to kissing.  His hands traveled down to my bottom and gave it a tight squeeze,  causing me to moan louder. His hands slid up my legs and under my shirt to grope my bare breast. I rarely wear a bra.

"That's it. Claim what is ours." Shukaku said.

"No. Go away." I jerked away from Sakura, finally realizing that we were going to far.

"You know that you want to be with her. Why not claim what you want? She is your mate after all." Shukaku asked.

"I will not hurt the woman I love." I said.

"You are hurting her now. Look at her face. Poor little girl, always falling for one's who don't love her." Shukaku said.

I  looked at Sakura and she was crying. What have I done. I let my beast  get inside my head and now Sakura was crying. I pulled her into my arms  and just held her there. I loved this woman and I could never hurt her.  i could finally see what it was like to be in love. Just a couple days with this woman has shown me that love is powerful and amazing. I could never hurt her, no matter what. Shukaku had calmed down and was leaving me alone, but did I really want to  make love to her before marriage. No I didn't. I wanted wedding night to  be special.
