Heart's Inferno - An Uchiha Madara Fanfic

31 - Responsibilities

Sara pov:

Morning came far too quickly for my liking, more so because Madara had not allowed me to sleep until it was nearly sunrise. He had been ruthless, though had given me time to catch my breath by treating me with sweet kisses and cuddles in between heated passion. As I had expected, I was more than exhausted, my body sore and aching, and several parts of my skin burning from the love bites I had been marked with.

Groggily, I opened my eyes to stare at the ceiling in a daze for a few moments before looking at Madara who slept beside me. He looked so tranquil and relaxed, and I couldn't help but turn to my side with a soft wince so I could just watch him for a while. He was so handsome, each and every feature and aspect of him perfect, and it had me wondering how someone could be this ethereal.



Although Madara had been more than intense until only a couple of hours ago, there had also been a sense of desperation in him while he expressed his love for me. It was the same expression I had seen in him when we had been together many days after Izuna san had passed, as if he was in need of reassurance of my feelings for him, of the fact that he had someone he could entirely trust in. I could understand why he felt that way.

My thoughts did not linger on that for very long, for my eyes found the love bite I had rewarded Madara with during the night. It was on his shoulder, a bright red spot that roused a swell in my chest. It showed that he was mine. Well, I was certain that I had been quite caught up in the moments to have left a few more marks on him, and the fact that I had been so bold had me blushing.

Chewing on my bottom lip while holding in the flustered smile that wished to escape, I reached out to touch the love bite with my thumb. I also couldn't stop from recalling how wonderful it always felt to be wrapped in his arms, pressed up against his chest and listening to his strong heartbeat. Pulling away from the love bite, I placed my hand on his chest over his heart to feel his heartbeat.

"It seems you can't get enough of me, Sara," he suddenly spoke. Looking at his face, I saw a smirk, though he had not opened his eyes. Feeling a blush rise for getting caught, I pulled my hand away.

I didn't get very far in that though, for Madara grabbed my wrist as he opened his eyes to meet mine. His other hand found its place around my bare waist to tug me to himself. Now pressed up against his body, he brought his lips teasingly close to mine.

"I thought you were asleep," I mumbled in a flustered stutter.

"I was, but your intense staring was hard to ignore," he mused in response. "Besides, it seems that you were adoring one of the love bites you've given me and I couldn't help but enjoy it."

Now, my blush was surely dark. I let out a playful scoff though, averting my eyes to my hand that Madara had replaced on his chest as it had been before I had pulled away. A slight pout in my voice, I said, "There you go again with teasing me."

"It's entertaining," he answered.

Feeling a little adventurous despite the tiredness of my body, I squirmed to make Madara let go of me. He watched curiously as I tugged the blanket to coveer myself properly before I sort of climbed onto him after pushing him onto his back, so I was lying on top of him. He closed his eyes while I traced my fingers over his features softly, a smile coming to me when I reached his lips.

Wishing to feel his lips against mine, I lowered my head to kiss him. He tensed momentarily, perhaps not expecting my kiss, but soon fell into it, running his hand sensually down my back over the blanket that covered me. It had me humming into to kiss, blissful.



When I pulled away, Madara smirked and asked, "Now who's teasing who? Or are you finally attempting to tempt me knowingly?"
