Tawny sheets provided a golden background for the two figures moving together on the bed. The pale man was trapped between the firey silk and the sun-kissed body moving above him. His fingers gripped sweat dampened sheets as tanned ones entwined with his own. He tried to grit his teeth to prevent the cries and moans that desperately wished to escape his lips. A well aimed thrust caused his effort to be in vain as he called out his pleasure in the richly decorated room.

He closed his lids tightly over his onyx eyes in embarrassment as he felt lips smile against his flushed neck. He tried not to imagine how beautiful sunshine hair must look tangled with his own sable locks.

His eyes rolled behind closed lids as he felt the movements inside him became harsher and teeth began to mark his shoulders and neck, claiming ownership of his body inside and out. He was not able – and had stopped caring enough to try – to stop his body from whole-heartedly participating in the intimate act taking place.

He rolled his hips up, deepening the penetration of his body, encouraging and loving the feelings building within him. He moaned louder as fingers not entwined with his own tightened on his hip and a husky voice panted in his ear.

"Sasuke," the blond breathed.

Sasuke was surprised by how powerful his reaction to his name on those lips was. He had wanted to be free of all emotions the sex would bring, but at this point he abandoned the thought not involved in how fucking amazing it felt. So instead – pride be damned! – he would embrace the passion and deal with the consequences later. He grunted and bent his knees enough to keep his rear up and allow access to his recently neglected flesh. His eyes still shut, a part of him still denying reality, but his mouth did not stop the words from leaving his lips. "Please…please more."

A honey colored hand found him and stroked following the movements within. Harder and faster it became and they jointly cried out at the sensations that were new to both young men.

Now frantic, all hope of finesse abandoned, they bucked against each other, glowing pink and sweaty with their exertions. With a final exclamation, teeth latched onto Sasuke's throat as he cried out, "Naruto!"

They moved together, slowing as their heated bodies cooled and their shallow breathing deepened and then Naruto's tired limbs deserted him pressing his weight down into Sasuke pushing him further into the bed.

Sasuke grunted from the pressure. "Get off."

Naruto raised his head enough to look at the satisfied body that was annoyingly tensing up. Sighing, he rolled off of his lover so he could face the other young man. He wasn't happy to see the tension marring the ivory features and began stroking raven hair behind Sasuke's ear then caressing the lines that had appeared between the dark eyes he loved so much.

"Hey," he whispered. "You promised to tell me to stop if I hurt you." Naruto felt his heart tighten at the thought of causing pain to his new lover.

"Hn." Sasuke rolled his eyes at the blond. "You didn't hurt me. It was fine." He couldn't decide if he should pull away or allow himself to lean into the caress.

"Fine? You call that 'fine'?" Azure eyes widened in disbelief at the statement and was frantic to argue. "It was amazing and you were amazing and it felt wonderful! I loved what we just did." Nervously, Naruto bit his lower lip as he took in the marble countenance before him. Why wasn't Sasuke happy too? "What did I do wrong?"

Sasuke couldn't hold himself back any longer and kissed the sadness off of Naruto's face. Wrapping his arms around broad shoulders and tangling their legs so they were pressed tightly together. Kissing Naruto again, he said against bruised lips, "You didn't do anything wrong tonight. It was very good."

Smiling, blue eyes cleared as they gazed into onyx. "I really do love you, Sasuke."

Sasuke's eyes betrayed his surprise at this declaration. He knew Naruto wanted to hear the same from him, but couldn't say it. Rolling the blond onto his back, Sasuke gave him a small smile before a final kiss.

"Go to sleep, my Prince." Naruto's eyes narrowed at being reminded of his title, but exhaustion was claiming him and it just wasn't worth it to argue.

Sasuke stayed still watching the blond young man fall into a deep sleep. He took the time to control the raging emotions inside of him. He knew this had been a mistake, but he didn't have a choice. Now, he needed to find the calm necessary to do what he was sent to do.

'Fool,' he hissed in his mind as he slowly removed his body from Naruto's grasp without waking him. Grimacing at the mess he felt on his thighs, he quickly put on his baggy cotton pants that he wore within their chambers.

His anger at the situation he was in caused him to pace for awhile in front of the large bed, grinding his teeth in frustration and an effort to be quiet.

He shouldn't be here. He was a lord in his own right. He should be at home with his family preparing for his role as protector to his elder brother, Itachi, who would one day take over leadership of the Uchiha clan from their father.

Sasuke should not have been in some foreign prince's bed, his innocence lost to an enemy of his family.

Firming his resolve, he wrapped his fingers around the hilt of the dagger attached to the belt of Naruto's pants from where they had been flung earlier that evening. Unsheathing the weapon, he nearly growled as he noticed Naruto hadn't been bothered at all by the low noise.

Not that Sasuke should be upset that the stupid blond slept unaware of his danger. Not at all.

His father had been quite specific to his younger son. Sasuke was being given as a gift to the Namikaze heir so that he could get close enough to assassinate the prince. With the death of Emperor Minato's only son, his territory would be easy to claim by the Uchiha clan as was their right. For Fugaku – and many others – had coveted the Senju lands and was enraged when Minato of the Namikazes inherited the title. It was an insult the Uchiha lord would not allow and he had repeatedly tried to gain the crown in battle, but he was defeated every time and lost men and land each time.

So it was that Sasuke stood over Naruto with the intent to kill. Raising the blade, he purposefully did not think about the life he has lost. No longer was he the younger brother trained to protect, he is now an assassin meant only to die. For he knew that once the prince's bloody body was found he would be executed. Guards stand at every hallway and even a pair was right outside the prince's chamber; the castle is as difficult to escape from as it is to infiltrate.

He clenched the hilt in his sweaty palm. He mustn't hesitate. He cannot betray his family that loved and raised him by seizing the life he has lived for the last few months. He could not embrace the young blond no matter how much the man may claim to love him. Sasuke knew the words were empty.

They had to be.

"Idiot," he growled as he leaned over his soon-to-be-dead lover. Golden brows furrowed as Naruto's body urged him to wake up sensing the danger that he was in. Hazy cobalt widened at the blade glinting in the soft light as it descended towards him.

Both boys cried out in pain and grief as blood spattered on the silken sheets.
