Heated

Sakura
is so hot, she might have a fever. But she's a medic and she knows the
difference between a fever and... this heat…
This heat has spread throughout her body leaving dampness and tension in its
wake. She wishes it was a fever, but she knows better, especially, when she
meets his eyes.

style='mso-tab-count:1'> Sakura is a rationalist and right
now there is no rationalizing what his gaze is doing to her. So many questions
are racing through her head as her heart pounds:style='mso-spacerun:yes'> How can a stare cause so much agitation? Why
does she feel like a bitch in heat? Why doesn’t she want to stop this fire from
building?

She
could look away, but there's a challenge in the feral grin that has curled back
his lips. He is teasing her. Is she woman enough to handle a man? Will she
cling to Sasuke because his rejection is safe? Or can
she take a chance with the unknown?

style='mso-tab-count:1'> There is nothing to distract her
from these pleasantly disturbing thoughts. Sakura is alone on a mission with
him in unfamiliar territory.

style='mso-tab-count:1'> Alone….

style='mso-tab-count:1'> Alonestyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'> with no one, but God and the
wilderness to see if he crossed the camp fire and pushed her on back and pinned
her body to the earth and…. She shouldn’t think like this.

style='mso-tab-count:1'> But no one would know… Inner
Sakura whispers enticingly.

style='mso-tab-count:1'> This is the moment Sakura knows the
attraction is not going anywhere and she has already lost the fight before its
even began.

Kankuro has been making it a point to make her uncomfortable since
this mission began. Everything from the cut of his eyes to the ghost of his
hands brushing against her has been calculated moves to corner her
completely. To get her in a place where
she knows resistance is only delaying the inevitable.
He wants her to know he’s going to have her. He wants the knowledge to war
within her. He wants her mind to run wild with all the things he could and will
do to her.

And
now he knows he has her. It’s the distraction in her eyes, the flush that’s
tainted her cheeks and trails seductively into her shirt, and the subtle
closing of her thighs. She is on fire and he grins knowing the real game is
about to begin.

There
will be nowhere for her to run. No friends to distract her. No fucking class=SpellE>Sasuke-kun. There will only be him and her thoughts
for company. He wonders how creative she will be in the days to come. How many
ways will she be able to run from him without moving one step?

How
cunning is she?

There
is a cooling in her eyes now. She has decided to fight. Kankuro
watches her leave the fire.

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> He has set the fire, but it is not consuming
her yet.

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Doesn’t matter.

Kankuro knows it doesn’t take much to excite a live coal.

They
both know it will not take long to set her ablaze.
