Beneath the Surface [Yandere!Itachi x Reader]

Chapter 9

There was no time for rest as he needed to get the both of them presentable for the remaining amount of time at the party. 

Little brother, it seems I've beaten you as always, Itachi thought smugly. He glanced at [Name], who fell in a deep slumber after their exhausting activities. Naturally, she would be after the drug's effects diminished. 

He remembered how tight she felt around him, as if she was made for him only. Luckily his shrunken member refused to resurrect and he sighed heavily; it was time to get dressed. He hurriedly clothed himself in his previous attire before doing the same with his lover after tidying her up from evidence that coated and clung to her legs. 

The man wondered if perhaps summoning her back to reality was harsh as she surely needed her rest but questions would arise if she did not appear for the rest of the evening. Gently, he shook her for a short amount of time as she awakened groggy and confused.  

"I-Itachi? What's going on?" 

He supposed he owed her an answer... but whoever said it was required of him to speak honorably? "You can't recall?" he asked, false worry showing in his tone.  

Her bewildered expression made her seem more endearing to him as her brows furrowed. It was entertaining really, how she progressed from puzzlement to understanding to outright shame. Her cheeks were a flaming, enticing red as they temptingly called for him. "We... we did it," she stumbled over her confession, not quite sure how to explicitly say it. "Oh my God," she said, abashed of her unreserved and lewd behavior, hiding her delicate face with her hands. 

"It's alright," he said softly. "There's nothing to be ashamed of. Letting loose inhibitions every once in a while isn't a wrongdoing." He lightly gripped her hands to uncover her face and firmly repeated, "There's nothing to be ashamed of." 

"But... I'm usually not one to act so promiscuous," she muttered. "Perhaps there was something in the wine I tasted earlier..." 

He could feel alarm begin to rise within him as he placated her, "I believe the wine may have tasted off to me as well. It could be one of the more potent wines with a higher alcohol content." 

She nodded, taking his word and the alarm washed away, relief soothing the pits of his stomach. "Regardless, I should stay away from that particular brand from now on." 

"It would be best," he agreed. 

She smiled at him and patted his hand. "You're such a gentleman, Itachi... ah!" She seemed more aware now, her eyes having widened a tad bit. "Did we... did we use contraception? And I'm properly dressed... how?" 

He swallowed at the offending question but nevertheless, gave her a reassuring smile. "Yes, we did. I hope you aren't bothered on me acting upon myself to dress you as we're on a time frame at the moment," 

The trepidation that existed in her had dissipated from his reply and she exhaled a sigh of relief. "That's very alleviating, kind and yet somehow odd of you to do so," she joked. "Um..." she hesitated before looking him in the eyes. 

Is she going to tie herself to me? 

You yearn too much in such a short time. Of course not. 

"It was... it was a very spectacular time if I do say so myself," she mumbled. "But is it possible for us to leave this behind and start anew?" 

No.  

No! He silently growled furiously.

"Of course. Whatever you wish," the words spilled out easily instead. 

Was I not adequate enough for her? Why would she desire that? Why- 

"I mean..." She huffed, looking uncertain now. "It's best for us to pretend this didn't occur... It's not- It's not the best of intentions if I'm seeking to date your brother." 

… What? 

"What?" he echoed his conscience. "You wish for Sasuke?" Anger was surging from a small, slow campfire to a large, raging inferno, his heart palpitating at different beats. 

"Y-Yeah," she replied sheepishly. "Your brother is a commendable man and not to mention he is quite intelligent; he can hold a proper conversation unlike most men nowadays." 

"Commendable?" He voiced, disdain oozing from him. "What about him is exactly commendable?" 

She began to fiddle with her thumbs, a gorgeous, compassionate smile playing about her lips. His heart was in agony from the way the smile wasn't for him, but for someone else. "He manages the company very well as he holds thousands of employees' futures in his hands. The stress that comes with being a CEO is very high, I imagine, but what would a mere model like I know about corporations?" It was like she began to talk more for herself rather than to him, to convince herself. It was as if she was striving with much effort on her part to deceive her mind. What was she hiding? 

He stiffly nodded, rather having the conversation concerning another male -yet alone his brother to be the main subject- to desist. "Of course," he plainly replied to her. "Nothing more persevering than being the highest authority allowed." 

"Yeah, I-" 

"I apologize for my lack of timing but surely my parents are wondering where their son has gone off to," he said as the venom in the three letter word was barely contained. 

"Ah!" She flttered about, her hands waving around wildly in the air. "I did not mean to keep you! I suppose I have to exit as well; Sasuke must be curious too. Considering our... unexpected circumstances, I can see why females flock to you," she ended with a supple blush that sprung his member back to prominence. 

This signifies I still have a chance. She is attracted to me as I am to her. "No need for you to worry for me so highly. Allow me to escort you back to the lobby," he smoothly responded, flashing her a rare smile, teeth and all. 

"Y-Yeah," she replied, stunned and dazed from his grin. 

He led her out of the room -the room where he first made love to her, he noted to himself- with a firm hand gently pushing by her lower back. 

The pair calmly walked to the crowded lobby as Itachi browsed the area for his family, an impassive expression settling on his features before he signaled to the beautiful woman on his right. They quietly approached them as he refused to have an melodramatic scene tonight. 

"If you want your hand to still be intact Itachi, I suggest you remove yourself from her right now," Sasuke spat. 

Truly little brother, your manners knows no bounds. So much for a muted and hushed confrontation.
