The Worst in Me

Summary:

The hard part was falling in love with your dream girl.
The really hard part is keeping her safe from the wolves.

Notes:

Hello! Since the werewolf AU was so well received on here and on Tumblr, I decided to keep it going with a sequel piece. It's a fun AU to write that I haven't seen many others explore with these characters. So, hopefully this is obvious enough but please read the first piece before reading this! It sets this whole story up in terms of where Sasuke and Sakura stand in their relationship. (That fic is What's a Little Fur Between Friends?) That fic is heavily smut, and this one will be as well.
Title is taken from a Bad Omens song - The Worst in Me

 


I had you in my grip, but you're starting to slip
Bring out the worst in me
And now it's come to end, I think I'm giving in
You set my demons free

Chapter Text

. . .

The past week had been some of the best moments of Sasuke’s life. He was irritated with himself for denying his raging hormones for so many years, but the week of debauchery with Sakura made up for it. She had been extremely accepting of what he was. It never occurred to him that she would be okay with what he truly was, and always wondered how she would reject him after learning that I can turn into a giant wolf.

As the water ran through his dark hair, cleaning off the sweat that lined his skin from spending the morning in bed with Sakura, he felt oddly calm. His muscles were relaxed, heartbeat felt normal, and the heat his body had been putting off the past week started to dissipate. He found himself turning the water up, a sign that his body was exiting his heat. It was kind of bittersweet. Every time he experienced the lust brought on by a werewolf’s natural phase of intense sexual need, he had never enjoyed it. It was always something he tried to will away on his own. Now that it was finally ending naturally, he was a little upset that the commanding desire would be fading.

Sasuke got out the shower, towel drying his hair, and wrapping a black towel low around his waist. A glance in the mirror showed the damage that he had sustained over the week with Sakura. A small smirk couldn’t help but appear as he glanced over the indented bite marks on his shoulders. It’s only fair since I gave her a pretty permanent one. He thought it was rather funny that the shy and embarrassed Sakura had gladly decorated his body with love bites. In honesty, he enjoyed how they looked.

He made his way out of the small bathroom space to Sakura laying on the couch in the main living space. The cabin was very small, a room containing the living space, bed, and kitchenette, attached to a small bathroom. It was all they really needed as they had spent their week preoccupied with one another, trying to catch up on all the time they had missed out on.

Sakura looked over the back of the couch to see Sasuke standing with only a towel to cover his hips. A smile crept up her face, eyes leering low.

“Why hello there wolf boy… What brings you here…?” Purring out her words as she let her long hair flow over the back of the sofa. She had become rather straightforward with her desires during the week they spent together. Sasuke had been the one in control most of the time, since his wolf side preferred it that way.

He sighed from the endearment she kept using.

“I’ve given up with getting you to stop calling me that,” he walked over, his hand reaching out to cradle her cheek. “I guess I can make an exception since you have been so friendly this past week…”

Sakura’s cheeks flushed to their cute rosy shade of pink. She reached out an arm to run her fingers along his exposed torso, still hanging over the back of the sofa.

“You feel colder this morning, Sasuke. You feeling okay?” Sakura wasn’t used to Sasuke not feeling so hot to the touch.

He shrugged, releasing his gentle hold on her face.

“My heat is wearing off. I’m returning back to normal.”

“Does this mean we’re going back today?” She seemed disappointed.

“We can’t exactly stay cooped up in the woods forever,” Sasuke smirked. “As tempting as it is to stay in bed with you for another week, I do have to go to work eventually. I also have a dog who probably doesn’t know what is going on.”

Sakura turned and fell back onto the sofa.

“Yeah… you’re right…” Sakura pouted.

Sasuke walked around and sat next to Sakura on the small sofa. “Do you have to go back soon? I never really got to ask you how long you were for the holidays?”

A frown fell on Sakura’s face. Sasuke knew it was a sore spot for her to discuss, but she did eventually have to back. Go back to her home. I just don’t like the sound of that. He leaned forward, his head resting on her chest as they sat on the chair. She had the sweetest smell that he didn’t get tired of. Something similar to apples or strawberries, either way its constant presence was something he really enjoyed.

His eyes looked to a small love bite on the top of her breast, exposed by her baggy tank top. He knew he left many of them adorning her body. It was surprising to him that Sakura didn’t question what he was all, at least not a lot, during their constant love making. There were moments when instead of taking his time like they did the very first day they ended up in the cabin, his wolf had no patience.

Sakura stood in the shower, humming as she ran conditioner into her hair, taking care to cover every pink strand before letting it sit for a few minutes. A creak sounded from the bathroom door, alerting her to try to see what it was through the shower door. She assumed it was Sasuke, but he was very quiet.

The shower door was jerked open by a firm hand with some decent claws for fingernails. His face started to shift into more of his wolf appearance - eyes angled, pupils glowing gold, large canine teeth throughout his entire mouth. It wasn't exactly what she thought of as attractive growing up, but on Sasuke it was… different. No words escaped his mouth as he pushed his way inside, naked and very aroused. She wasn't sure what to say as a low rumble came from his chest.

"Are you okay Sasuke? You umm… you're a little excited there…" she couldn't continue her sentence as he pushed her body against the shower wall. Her breasts flattened against the cool surface, forehead touching it as he ground his hips against her ass. She could feel the rigid member rub against her as water cascaded down their bodies. His dark hair had matted against his face once drenched with water.

Sasuke didn't say anything as he ran a sharp claw down her back, a shot of pain as it raked down her spine, but she felt the sensation in her core. He leaned forward, pushing her more against the wall, hot water still raining over them, and nipped at the back of her neck. The sharp teeth were a strangely welcome sensation as they bit and rugged at whatever they could. He seemed a little more aggressive with his teeth than before, as the tugs at her delicate skin left her purring against the wall. She could hear him growl against one of his fingers, soaking it before plunging right into her sex with two demanding digits.

"S-Sasuke!"

He kept a firm grip on her hip with one hand as the other ravaged her folds quickly. His hand hammered in and out, rubbing against her clit every time he plunged back inside. She moaned, begged, for him to give her release as her hips buckled under his touch. A sharp fang nipped her ear, sending her flying as she came hard from the mixture of sensations against her body. Seemingly satisfied, he quickly pulled his fingers out and pulled her hips upward to meet his. A thick tip pushed against her entrance, but gave way as she was drenched from her climax moments ago.

"F-fuck! Oh my god… Ah!"

She could barely speak as he rammed the rest of his dick inside her, hard. Relentlessly, he hammered away, her body pushed completely against the wall as he ravaged her. It was intense with sharp claws digging into her plump hips and growls coming from his chest. Sasuke didn't seem to be there - only his wolf taking what it wanted. She wasn't complaining as it felt incredible with every thrust hitting so deep inside her. Water still ran over them, exacerbating the sound of his hips slamming against her ass.

His head leaned against the nape of her neck, bracing himself as he let his hips ram against her with every thrust. His mind was blank, only pleasure as his wolf enjoyed the tight warmth of her sheath against his dick. As dazed as he was, he still knew she wasn't quite there yet. He snaked a hand around to her clit, tugging and rubbing at the small bud in an attempt to get her to climax before he did. She jerked under his touch, screaming against the white side of the shower as his thrusts pushed her against the hard plastic surface. When she clenched down on his shaft, he let out a howl and dug his nails into her soft flesh, pouring his seed into her.

The water ran down his back, leaning over the pinkette who was barely standing in the shower. Sasuke released his nails from her frame, noticing they dug a little too deep, leaving small holes. He slid his dick out of her, moving back so water could run down her body. She could barely move her body as her orgasm left her exhausted. Offering his arm, she was able to stand up and move under the water. He reached for a soap bar sitting on the shelf, lathering up to wash her back. She groaned as he meticulously massaged her tired muscles. The soap was a mild, clean scent that didn’t cover up too much of Sakura’s natural sweet smells. Sasuke put the soap away, reaching around to touch Sakura’s face.

“You okay?” He was a little worried by her silence after their intense act.

“Yeah… that was… wow…” she took a deep breath, clearly taken aback by what just happened. “I didn’t expect that… am I crazy or did you howl? Like a wolf?”

Sasuke avoided her gaze when she turned around to face him. It didn’t fully hit him that he even howled. He tried to shuffle his way out of the shower, but Sakura’s hand grabbed his before he could push the shower door open. She nudged him to turn the shower water off, then slipped out. A devious smirk appeared the young woman’s face.

“You’re embarrassed. Sasuke Uchiha is embarrassed,” she giggled as he handed her towel with a scowl decorating his jaw. She was enjoying this way too much. “I’m not upset or anything, but this is just kinda funny. You never get this way.”

He groaned. “Look, I don’t even know why that happened. It slipped.”

“Sureee. You came close to popping out a tail?”

He rolled his eyes, toweling off his hair as she laughed in the small space next to him. “You’re not gonna let this go, are you?”

She smiled, wrapping a towel around her body.

“It’s too fun to mess with you,” she wrapped a smaller towel around her hair. “Besides, that… that was really hot.”

“I don’t know what to think of you liking this so much,” he smirked, opening the door to the main cabin space. “You got a thing for wolves?”

She huffed.

“No, I just apparently have a thing for aggressive werewolves.”

“You okay Sasuke?”

“Hn?” He lifted his head, realizing he dazed off for a bit.

She sighed. “We should probably call Naruto for a ride. I’ll go throw on some clothes for outside.” She pushed off from the sofa, leaving Sasuke sitting there with his towel barely hanging on his waist. He watched her walk over to the dresser in the corner, his eyes linger up her body. A small growl almost emitted from his lips as she mentioned calling for Naruto get them. Possessiveness was creeping into his bones. Despite what he wanted, he knew she had to leave soon.

He was getting too attached.

. . .

He knew the dobe was going to be a curious bastard the moment he showed up - but this was insufferable. Sasuke sat up front with Naruto as Sakura splayed out in the backseat with sunglasses covering her sleep deprived eyes. The second they sat inside of Naruto’s car, he could tell the dobe could smell it. A trait that he never realized how annoying it could be was their sense of smell. Werewolves in skin had a much better sense of smell than any human. It was irritating Sasuke that Naruto could clearly smell what had happened between the two of them.

“So…” Naruto tapped the steering wheel as drove down the quiet state highway. “You finally don’t reek of being in heat. It’s actually pretty pleasant to be around you now.” Naruto snickered as the Uchiha was fuming in the seat. Sakura turned her head after hearing his remark.

“Wait, smell?” She asked from the back, Sasuke looking out the window to avoid the conversation going on around him.

“Well yeah,” Naruto side-eyed his best friend. “We can smell almost as good as a wolf even looking like this.” He noticed the curiosity rise in Sakura’s stare when he glanced in the rear-view mirror. “Teme did you even tell her that I’m a werewolf too?”

Sasuke groaned. “Was kinda too busy to talk about you, dobe.”

Naruto rolled his eyes at the temperamental Uchiha. “At least you’re somewhat tolerable now. If all it took was getting you laid, I would have flown Sakura down here years ago.”

Even with giant sunglasses covering half of her face, a pink flush could still be seen on Sakura’s cheeks. Sasuke didn’t miss it as he eyed her from the side mirror.

“You’re such an ass,” Sasuke sighed at the smiling driver. Sometimes he wasn’t sure how he hadn’t strangled Naruto already. “My dog better be perfect when we get back or I’m kicking your ass.”

“Luna’s fine. I think she was fine once I fed her,” Naruto paused. “Say, you guys gonna keep this ‘a thing’, you know?”

Sasuke was a little uncomfortable thinking of what lay ahead for the new couple, but tried to brush his worries away for the time being. “That was the idea.”

“Doesn’t Sakura have to go back soon though? I mean she doesn’t exactly live here and all…” Naruto stopped himself. “I’m sure you guys will figure it out. You were always the smarter two!” Naruto’s laugh was covering up his nervousness, and Sasuke knew him well enough to sense when he wasn’t being truthful.

They pulled up to the Uchiha’s house, Naruto putting the car into park so he could let the others out. “I’ll bring Luna by later. Hinata brought her new puppy by and the two were really having fun in the backyard.” He shrugged. “I’ll text you when I’m on the way over with her and Sakura’s stuff.”

Naruto waved goodbye to the two, driving off to his own house. Sakura looked at Sasuke’s house with a small smile. “It’s really cute.”

“Thanks. It was an old family property that I redid. It’s not completely finished yet, but it’s getting there,” Sasuke explained, walking towards the door with Sakura by his side. He didn’t want to admit it out loud, but he felt very peaceful walking up to his home with her. The wolf really likes her too.

As Sasuke fumbled with his key ring to open the front door, it instead opened from the inside. A young man stood in the doorway, an indistinguishable look on his face as he eyed the young couple in front of him. Sasuke inwardly cursed.

Why does my family have to pry?

. . .

It had been many years since Sakura last laid eyes on Itachi. The man always seemed wiser than his age would suggest. His ever long, well-maintained hair was kept tied neatly behind him, his trademark look he had adorned since they were all very young. Itachi was a simple man when it came to his clothes, choosing to wear a basic black t-shirt with a nice pair of pants. Sakura couldn’t help but blush at the handsome older brother of Sasuke. The younger brother noticed, as he moved slightly closer to the pinkette.

“Nice to see you Sasuke,” Itachi murmured, his gaze more focused on the girl to his side. “Had a nice week?”

Sakura could almost feel the anger coming from the man standing next to her. She reached her hand out to touch his, hoping to soothe his anger at least a little bit.

“Itachi,” Sasuke nodded, trying to focus on the soft touch grazing the back of his hand. “Why are you in my home?”

Itachi casually shrugged, “Can’t I visit?” He sauntered inside, the younger two following him in after a brief pause. Sakura stayed at Sasuke’s side, not sure what to make of the interaction currently happening between the two brothers.

Sasuke closed the door, looking back to his brother who sat leisurely on his sofa. Sakura looked around the room, noting the wood paneling for the walls, and the tall ceiling with wooden rafters running across. It looked like one of the old cabins, but noted Sasuke definitely spent some time restoring it with the modern decor choices. She kept off to the side as Sasuke wandered up to his brother, a scowl set on his face. This can’t be good.

“You never ‘just visit’ and you know that,” Sasuke sounded aggravated as he stood next to his brother who splayed out on the couch. “So why are you actually here? Don’t you need to go home to your partners?”

Sakura’s ears poked up. Partners? As in plural?

“You’re very hostile for someone who’s not even in heat, but wolves can be so possessive when they find someone they want to mate…” Itachi smirked at the end of the sentence, Sasuke nearly flying into a rage, until Sakura grabbed his hand.

She looked up at her love, silently pleading for him to calm down. Sasuke realized he was upsetting her, taking a few deep breaths. Itachi chuckled.

“Yeah, you are as bad as dad,” he turned away from Sasuke, setting his onyx eyes on Sakura. “It’s lovely to see you again Sakura. It’s been years. You have definitely grown into a wonderful woman.” He smiled, his head snapping to Sasuke with a frown once he sensed his brother's rage. “Oh calm down. I’m not after your woman.”

Sasuke rolled his eyes, breaking away from Sakura to sit in a loveseat nearby. She remained standing near Itachi, trying to be polite as her lover didn’t want anything to do with his brother.

“It’s nice to see you again Itachi,” she smiled, genuinely happy to see a familiar face. He replied in kind.

“I see you have been with my brother the past week. I take it you know?”

She blushed, only confirming his suspicions. Sasuke stayed away, trying to remove himself from the conversation, but failing as he silently seethed.

“Well, I suppose it was bound to happen. You’re old enough now to do as you please,” he paused, standing up. “I wanted to get a look at Haruno before I went back home. I’m sure Shisui and Izumi would love her over for dinner at some point. Also, mom and dad are gonna want to meet her soon.”

The curious man made his way to the door, waving goodbye to the two as he let himself out of Sasuke’s home. Sakura stared at Sasuke after his brother left.

“Does he… Does he have two uhh… spouses?”

Sasuke nodded. “Shisui and Izumi. They’re good people, he’s just an ass.”

It was a little… different, but Sakura could understand. She made her way to lounge on the sofa where Itachi just rested. It already seemed like the rest of her trip was going to be an interesting one if Itachi’s visit was any indication. Sakura kicked off her boots, sitting back into the comfortable black cushions. She took a deep breath, relaxing as she barely noticing Sasuke slipping beside her on the sofa.

“Oh hey,” she blurted out, not expecting the handsome man slyly moving quickly to her side. He leaned his head against her shoulders, sighing. “Something on your mind?”

“Everything.”

“Well that’s not very specific.”

“I’m tired of my brother getting in my business. I’m 21 and he still does this shit…” he murmured, cozying up to her side, taking a deep breath. Her face was red, trying to contain herself as the handsome man nuzzled her with a slight growl.

His eyes looked up, a swirl of gold in them. “You know I can smell when you’re aroused, right?”

“Wait, really?” She wanted to scream.

He nodded, a smirk crawling across his face, “Yep. It keeps turning me on.”

“I… I h-had no idea you could do that… But I guess being a wolf and all, it makes sense…” Sakura stuttered out as Sasuke worked a hand under her fluffy sweater. “S-Sasuke?”

“What?” He ran his tongue against her ear. “Can’t help it. You smell good.”

She arched under his touch, a small moan escaping her mouth before she covered it up with her hands. He chuckled, his mouth still close to her ear, sending shivers through her body. He flips so fast when he gets like this…

As he slipped a couple of fingers under her bra, his phone started to ring.

“For fuck’s sake…” his hand retreated from her shirt turning his attention to whomever called. “What the fuck do you want dobe?”

Sakura flushed as she was still very heated from Sasuke’s touch, watching him as he talked on the phone with presumably Naruto.

I can’t really blame him for being mad… that was really nice.

“Whatever, yeah bring my dog over and her stuff,” Sasuke threw his phone at the other chair. A hiss coming from his lips. “That idiot is the ultimate mood killer.”

Sakura sighed. “You’re not wrong…”

Sasuke sneaked a kiss, throwing Sakura off guard as he greedily pushed his tongue into her mouth. She wasn’t prepared for his attack, falling onto her back on the plush surface. He leaned over her, his warm body pushing against her as he continued his assault on her mouth. A fang nipped her lip during the heated exchange - another moan of hers muffled in his mouth - only fueling his overacting hormones. Even though he wasn’t physically in pain like he was in heat, Sasuke just couldn’t help himself as he pushed further, tasting the sweet flavor that seemed to line her lips.

“S-Sasuke… Sasuke!” She barely pushed him off, face bright red and struggling to breath. “Isn’t Naruto on the way? We should stop…”

He blinked at her, seeming to take in what just happened. His tongue traced the tiny bit of blood on his lip, tasting the metallic tang left behind, as he felt just how long his teeth had gotten during their kiss. Sakura only watched as his eyes widened.

“I-I’m sorry…” Sasuke backed off, standing up and walking away. Sakura stayed seated on the couch as he wandered down the hallway, out of sight.

Is he okay…?
