Chapter 3: Confrontations

By Boyarina

Hinata held up two hands in front of her as Gaara advanced.

"W-wait."

"What?" he growled. He quirked his head to the side as understanding dawned in his face. "Do you need to get completely undressed first?"

With a furious shake of her head, Hinata hastily replied, "No! I-I mean, let's take a moment t-to assess our s-situation here."

Gaara grabbed a hold of both her shoulders and bored his eyes into hers. "We are in a motel. You have a sex toy with you. I am in heat. I don't think there is anything more to explore."

Hinata felt bone dry. Panicky. Nervous."I-I don't' think I-I'm ready." Her heart started thumping to the tune of Shakalaka Boom Boom when Gaara steered their bodies to the middle of the bed.

"Don't worry. I'll ease you into it," Gaara reassured her solemnly.

The way he said it, Hinata honestly believed that he meant it. Despite this, her hand pushed against his chest, preventing him from coming too close. Gaara fought this resistance by applying the same amount of force equally opposite to that of her hand, all the while arranging both of them in a position that would be advantageous to his interest.

Comfortably parallel now to the bed, Gaara's arms on both of her sides (caged and trappped), her hands blocking him from gaining access (the position of which she will hold until a certain circumstance prevents her to do so), Hinata squirmed.

"I will take off my pants now," Gaara declared.

"N-not that," Hinata blurted out.

"Then, I will take off your—"

"Not that e-either," As Hinata took a quick sharp breath, she pierced a glare at the hands that hovered on top of her chest.

"We would need to wear a lot less clothes to get this done. You know that right?" Deadpan though his voice might be as Gaara said this, his eyes were bright with excitement.

"I'm re-thinking this over." Hinata squirmed once more. She pressed (more like buried) herself into the mattress when Gaara exerted a greater deal of force and successfully lowered himself close enough for her to feel his breath on her face.

Very nice, came the unbidden thought to her head.

"This is not like a party that you can post pone Hyuuga-san."

Hinata shrugged, "W-why not?"

Gaara made a sound at the back of his throat and without warning stole a quick nip of her lips.

Maybe it was the suddenness of the attack, probably the pleasant sensation that it brought, or that it was the kiss she had always imagined it would be but Hinata ended up sighing and closing her eyes to relish it.

"Want more?" Gaara smirked.

Hinata's eyes popped open. "N-no." Maybe. She winced. "I-I don't know."

Gaara grinned lopsidedly in response. "Your hesitancy to completely decline is a sign that I am making progress here." His optimism gave Hinata goose bumps. However, he did not make any further moves at this point and his expression slowly morphed back to its normal expressionless state.

"I've more or less surmised that you are here, in this place, because of your curiosity to the nature of sex," Gaara said philosophically. Much to Hinata's relief, his attitude now no longer holds that of him wanting to ravage her.

Feeling slightly bit at ease, she dropped her hands to her sides and unconsciously tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. It was a habit she developed as a way of stalling the necessity for her to respond (especially when her conscience is forcing her to do. Too late when she realized that this was counter beneficial to her circumstance.

Alarmed, she looked up sharply at Gaara. Her eyes widened little by little, frozen as she waited for him to take advantage of the opening she unintentionally gave him.

It was a moment of truth, a moment of silence. She was anticipating for him to attack and he was keeping tabs on her movements so he can block her escape.

"Well?" Gaara asked.

"W-well what?" Hinata parried back. Half steely, half shaking her voice may have sounded, inside she was experiencing a 7-Richter shake earthquake of trembles.

"You're here for the sex, weren't you?" Blunt. Gone was the side of him where she found logic.

Composing herself and she chose her words carefully, Hinata said, "Yes. B-but not this level."

"To what level then?"

Hinata drew her eyebrows together at the impatience she heard in his tone. "Mostly only to what it would f-feel like."

Gaara scoffed. Without ado, he completely laid himself on top of her. Hinata's breath hitched in her throat but felt no compulsion to struggle.

Maybe she is slowly accepting her fate?

"You want plastic more than the real thing?"

"There shouldn't be an difference…" She wiggled as she started having difficulty taking in enough oxygen with Gaara's weight on top of her.

"There is a difference," Gaara said matter-of-factly.

"With w-what?" Feeling strangled now more than ever, she added, "Can you m-move?"

"Texture, girth and hardness," Gaara listed his rebuttals. In a completely irrelevant trail of thought, he continued in response to her second question. "I can move. Rhythmically, if you want."

Hinata flushed to the roots of her hair. To date, that is the most embarrassing thing she has heard throughout this entire encounter.

"Gaara-san!" she said incredulously. Her admonition did not go by unnoticed as she felt him huff. His chest expanded and contracted in little over a second, signaling his exasperation.

"You know that we are going to do this anyway, right?"

"B-but you s-seemed…" Hinata found no other words and excuses left to say and she sensed Gaara's stern countenance rising in reaction to this.

"Close your eyes, stay still and keep your mouth shut." Gaara commanded harshly.

Hinata swallowed hard as she weighed her options. She's here and here's her chance to do what she intended. The only thing she will lose is her virginity (which essentially will be lost with whichever method she does her experiment). Gaara is probably right in saying the real thing is better. The sole way to find out is go through with this.

Hinata gave a nod to her soon-to-be-sex-partner, sucked up as much air as she can with a male body compressing her lungs and did as she was told

"Relax," Gaara said quietly. "I'll make it fun for you."

His weight unexpectedly lifted off her. Sure, she was apprehensive about the whole deed but she was a little bit more than disappointed about this turn of events.

"You're g-going?" She asked.

Gaara answered her question with a chuckle. Shortly after, he was back on top of her with a lot more of his exposed skin touching hers (i.e. naked).

"I'm not. Your clothes are," Gaara smirked as he said this, which Hinata saw only too clearly as she peered worried through her eyelids.

"A-are you going t-to remove t-them?"

Gaara pursed his lips. "If you are not going to."

Consulting the barely there knowledge that she had about sex before Gaara did anything, Hinata finally came to a decision. "I'll take off my bottoms." She only has on a bra and panties. Ergo, it was a very wise decision for her to remove just her lower undergarment.

Gaara gave her some space to accomplish this. He scrutinized her every movement, eyes gliding from her hip, where she hooked her fingers on the band of her undies, to her feet, where she slid them off.

"There," She said triumphantly, which really was not warranted. Point in case was when Gaara shifted his glance from her legs to her face and appraised her strangely. Caught red-handed doing something dimwitted, Hinata quickly balled up the undergarment in her fist.

"Are you planning to keep that in your hand all throughout we are here?" Gaara commented wryly.

Hinata naturally pure thoughts strayed in a completely wrong direction at this question. Verbatim, her thoughts whispered suggestively, You can gag me with them. She quickly banished this with a furious shake of her head, which she assumed Gaara mistook as her response.

"Toss them to the side then," Gaara ordered.

Hinata clutched the panties in her hand tighter. The tone that Gaara employed activated her defense mechanism. Her pliant self started to vanish into transparency as she wavered in her plans of being de-virginized.

"I-I don't think I can d-do this."

Gaara's mouth moved a fraction to the side in what Hinata can only decipher as annoyance.

"You can take charge. Do whatever you want to do with me," he said placatingly to ease her back into the act, most likely.

"I wouldn't even know what to do," Hinata hedged. Her subconscious knows perfectly well that she is delaying and possible getting Gaara frustrated enough to leave her.

"The more that you resist, the more that this can be rough for you," Gaara growled this in warning but then suddenly chuckled lightly. He looked at her from under his lids and breathed out, "Perhaps that is what you are trying to do? You only need to ask."

Hinata squeaked in alarm when Gaara went into all fours, ready to prowl towards her. Instincts told her to bolt, but her mind has a more legitimate argument against this. Like bolting in a barely covered, almost naked form would just mean that she would merely be running around the room. Also, bolting from the only sexual experience that she will ever had with a man doesn't exactly make sense. Lastly, bolting from Gaara, who is she kidding?

"Should I wait for you start kicking and screaming?" Gaara, despite his query to begin, started on his own and forcibly got her lying in a prone position. Then, he paused and locked stares with her, his one hand resting on her shoulders.

"I don't p-purposefully hurt people," Hinata pointed out hesitantly.

Gaara's eyes narrowed. "What if I rape you?"

The P.S.

As I am in the middle of getting in the groove so I can the next chapters to Sassychan and Ridding Me of You.

So to answer some of your questions, yes I have not dropped off the Planet Earth. But I would admit however, that I did visit my home planet Hfetgurrysibo. It's out there somewhere, believe it.

I see a lot of hits, but where are the visitors?

It would be great to hear from you. I was reading through some that I've got in the past months and those definitely pushed me to get back to updating again.
