She smiled quietly as she watched her husband's chest rise rhythmically. The hardened exterior shell that he erected to prevent anyone from passing through would come down when he slept. He was at his most vulnerable then… and the most adorable.

Tip-toeing carefully, Hinata crossed the threshold of their bedroom. She flinched visibly as one of the floorboards creaked. Che! She paused mid-step.

Her eyes darted back quickly to that of the dark haired shinobi. His breathing had hitched and he was turning. She watched as he pulled up his right leg and turned to his side. Sasuke rubbed his face into the pillow before calming back down.

Letting out a quiet sigh, she continued on with her sneaking. She approached the side of the bed and stared down at him. Her eyes crinkled in adoration. Her heart burst with the love she left for him.

If someone were to have told her five years ago that she would wed to Sasuke Uchiha, she would have thought them demented. But as fate would have it, she'd never been happier.

Bending down, she smoothed out the errant hair on his forehead and softly placed her lips on it, giving him a chaste kiss. He murmured incoherently in response to her touch.

Rising back upright she glanced at the window near her. Turning slightly she pulled the draped aside and watched Sasuke intently as she attempted to open the windows. She gently pulled it up, allowing a cool breeze to grace the confines of the bedroom. Inhaling deeply, she stuck her head slightly out the window and looked out towards the full moon.

She loved autumn, the cool weather and beautiful colors enlivened everything. It was also the when Sasuke would spend more time at home. She missed him when he would go out on his ANBU missions. She had given up her own career as a kunoichi right before they were married.

Smirking slightly, she recalled the conversation, if you could call it that, that she and Sasuke had concerning that. More or less he ordered her to quit…that caused their first fight to ensue…as well as their first reconciliation. Hinata's face flushed as she remembered the heated kisses and touches that resulted. Sasuke was definitely as passionate man at times.

Treading as quietly as she could, Hinata walked behind the dressing screen to change into her nightgown.

She crawled into bed slowly and slid her legs under the covers. Her feet instinctively searched for Sasuke's. Rubbing her soft cold soles on Sasuke's firmer and warmer feet, she let out a soft moan and cuddled behind him. Her arm slid over the contour of his waist and she pulled herself flush against him. Breathing in his spiced scent, her nuzzled her face into his back and softly planted a kiss on his bare back.

He was all hers now.

Callused hands covered her own and lazily rubbed her forearms. Hinata's face reddened as she realized Sasuke was awake.

She never had the courage to be so open in her affection to him before, it was only the assumption of him being unconscious that allowed her to take such bold steps toward him.

Feeling embarrassed, she tried to retract her arms from encircling him only to have him firmly hold her hand in place. He turned on his back and rubbed further up her arm. Hinata hid her face in his shoulder as her arm moved up to his chest.

"Hinata," Sasuke whispered huskily.

Hinata responded by burrowing her face further into his shoulder.

Sasuke chuckled deeply as he shifted to face her. He smirked at the soft sounds she was making. He had been awake since she first entered the room. He had felt her cool nimble fingers brush against his hot skin and her soft lips press against his forehead.

"Ne Hina…" Sasuke slid his hand around his wife's tiny waist and pulled her closer towards him. He planted soft kisses in the inside of her neck and lazily licked up to her ear. He chuckled as she whimpered and shivered.

"If I go back to sleep will you be less shy?" teased Sasuke as he whispered into her ears.

She groaned in protest and covered her face with her palms.

He gently pried her hands off her face whilst shifting his weight slightly over her. Holding her arms at both sides her head and her propped himself up on his elbows and studied the face of his clenched eyed wife.

Her milky white skin shone in the dark and her pink lips were parted slightly.

"Open your eyes," he commanded softly. He watched as her thick lashes slowly unveiled her pale orbs. She looked at him shyly. His eyes commandeered her gaze, demanding she keep her attention him. He watched her as he slowly descended his lips to meet her own. He licked on her lower lip and smirked as he felt a shiver travel through her lithe body. He bent his head down further and softly kissed her.

He planted tiny kisses along the contour of her jawline. Her breath hitched. Releasing her wrists, he reached for her sides and pulled her on top of him, all the while deeply kissing her. He hands gripped her head as he battled with her soft pliable lips.

Hinata was lost in the sensations that were coursing through her. Pushing against Sasuke's firm biceps, she pulled her lips away from his onslaught and took in deep breaths.

Sasuke was just as out of breathe as she was. He ran his fingers up her soft arms and slowly lowered the straps of her nightgown off her shoulder. Her pale skin illuminated the room and his eyes glazed over as he sent her a naughty smirk.
