Safe Words Unneeded

Author's Notes: Post-war AU where Neji gets hit by the spears but does not die. Also written for pure well BDSM fun so if you do not like that sort of thing, skip this. Seriously. I am not playing around.

Don't own the characters just messing with them.

Tenten made sure her traps were all in place once Neji entered her bedroom. He hummed at her as she moved, white eyes tracking her movements and she could feel his intense gaze. They hadn't been able to have time to themselves in months.

Okay, so that wasn't entirely true. Sure they got to spend fifteen minutes alone on their mission last week but it had been rushed, their clothes had only made it off enough so Neji could get inside her, and they were forced to be quiet.

Never mind they had been in the middle of a surveillance mission and they should have been looking out but no harm done. Besides, Neji had his Byakugan activated the entire time so they were still doing the surveillance. Neji had also seen the moments before Kankuro joined them from setting his traps in the area. He had given them a strange look. It took Tenten a moment to realize Neji had a leaf in his hair. She'd pulled it out.

And sure they had spent the past few days in Konoha but everyone had been trying to talk with them every night and day. Tonight was the first night they were completely alone and could linger as long as they wanted.

Neji had come for dinner at five and they had eaten the herring soba she cooked with a side of steamed veggies, fried egg, and sesame dumplings. He had helped clean the dishes and here they were.

"No movie?" Neji questioned.

She turned to see he had a small grin on his face and one eyebrow up. His arms hung loosely at his sides and his entire posture was relaxed. Normally she would indulge his want to actually watch a movie with her but she was so not willing to wait any longer for this.

"Nope," Tenten said.

"Impatient,"

"Like you aren't,"

"Hn,"

This was his amused sound of agreement. She went to her bedside lamps and flicked both on before turning off the overhead light. The curtains were secured in the closed position and Neji's white eyes kind of glowed in the dimness.

He could still take in her pale yellow walls, her King sized bed with its burgundy sheet set, and the dark wood furniture: two night side tables, a long dresser with a mirror attached to it against one wall, and a tall dresser. She had one chair in the corner, burgundy in color and big enough for both of them to get into so long as they didn't mind being squished.

The myriad of decorative weapons she had on the walls of her room glittered in the low lights and she had closed the door on her messy wardrobe right before he could see it.

Her floors were light hardwood and she had covered them with a gold and burgundy area rug. The rug itself was comfortable enough to sleep on it was so thick and soft. They both knew from prior experiences.

"Well?" Tenten asked.

Neji hummed but lifted his arms. He carefully unbuttoned his shirt and it slipped off his shoulders as he pulled it down then off. He folded it neatly before placing it on an empty spot on her long dresser.

He waited.

Tenten smirked before pulling off her shirt. She tossed it towards her closet and it landed with a flutter. Neji chuckled. She unclasped her bra and it joined her shirt. Neji nodded before undoing the man-skirt, folding it neatly as well then placed it a top his shirt.

Tenten let her giant scroll hit the floor behind her before pushing it so it rolled towards the wall. It hit with a dull thud. Neji kept the smallest smile on his face before untying his pants and stepping out of them to reveal the gray tight boxer shorts he wore. He picked up his pants and they too were folded before being added to the pile.

Tenten reciprocated and tossed her pants towards her wardrobe. Neji's boxer shorts were off a moment later, folded in half before being placed at the top of the pile of his clothes. He stood still, feet a little apart with his hands loose at his sides.

The muted light made shadows dance over his flesh, all the soft creamy pale skin Tenten had come to know well in many different ways. The light did show her he was all ready fully erect and swaths of light allowed her to see the glimmer of precum at his tip and leaking down his cock. And he called her impatient.

She smirked at him but didn't take off her small white cotton panties. Neji didn't mind. He reached up and his hitai-ate came away from his forehead. He held it for a moment between his hands, the metal facing up but his eyes on her. He allowed it to drop out of his hands and beside his clothes with a little click of the metal hitting the wood.

With the hitai-ate gone, his thick, dark, shiny hair had been freed to fall forward. Tenten wanted to walk over to him and run her hands through his hair to tuck it behind his ears. She didn't. It would destroy the mood they were about to set.

"On the bed," Tenten said.

Neji inclined his head once and a small grin spread over his face. He strode across the room, moving gracefully with light fluttering over his form. His hair wavered around him softly and Tenten watched as Neji sat on the edge of the bed. He kept his back stiff and his eyes on her, white eyes bright even in the soft light.

Tenten crossed her arms under her bust and almost smirked when his eyes dipped towards her breasts before meeting her eyes again. Tenten thrust her right hip to a side and raised an eyebrow at him. He knew him sitting like that on the bed wasn't what she meant.

"Are you going to be disobedient tonight?" Tenten asked.

Neji shook his head before shifting backwards on the bed slowly, sensually. She smiled as he got to the middle of the bed then shifted until he was kneeling, straight up with the back of his thighs off his calves. His hands were still limp at his sides and he tilted his head to one side. Tenten nodded.

She walked over to the bed but didn't join him. Instead she bent slightly and pulled a box out from under the bed. The box was palm sized, locked with her chakra. She unlocked the box and spread a single scroll at the foot of the bed. She looked up to see Neji licking his lips.

His breathing had sped up slightly and a fine coating of sweat had begun to pop up over his forehead. His cock twitched eagerly and he had begun to shiver in anticipation. Hell, her hands were trembling. This was what they hadn't been able to do in months.

Tenten bit her thumb and touched it to the first seal on the scroll. Black leather arm cuffs popped out and she smiled. Neji smirked. Tenten got on the bed beside him and placed the cuffs beside him. Neji let out a little breath as Tenten ran her fingers through his hair to gather it into a tail. She gently placed it over his right shoulder and he shivered.

"Arms," Tenten said.

Neji obediently moved his arms behind his back a few inches apart. Tenten grinned at him before grabbing the cuffs. They were leather and extended from his wrist to the middle of his forearm. Three buckles put them in place over his arms and she joined them to each other with three adjustable leather straps.

"Tight tonight?" Tenten questioned.

"Yes, please,"

"Yes, please, who?"

She grinned when Neji turned his head enough to look at her over his shoulder. A smile came to his face and he nodded.

"Yes please, Mistress,"

"That's better,"

Tenten pulled the adjustable strap tight so Neji's wrists met and his shoulders were forced back, thrusting out his chest and making him let out a little breath of pleasure. Neji turned his head to face forward again.

Tenten had no clue why Neji liked being dominated considering his clan situation but she wouldn't complain. She would ask him tonight though, if she remembered.

They had been doing this kind of sex for almost a year now, not every time but enough she had filled a scroll with interesting gear and the woman at the underground shop knew them by first name. It had been an accidental find, really, their kink. She had smacked him on the ass during normal sex one time and the way he had groaned.

It went off from there.

"Mistress?"

She ran her hand over his back, skimming her fingers along his spine, and he trembled happily under her touch. She kissed the back of his neck and he let out a little purr. Tenten went back to her scroll.

She knew Neji watched her as she considered what else she would put him in tonight. She smirked and summoned from the fourth seal. Tenten licked her lips before lifting up the nipple clamps and cock ring. She turned and kneeled in front of Neji, holding up her palm towards him so he could see her intentions.

He nodded. She kissed his cheek and he returned the kiss, gently.

Tenten put the cock ring on first, slipping it over his wet hard length until it was at the hilt and pulling on the strap softly until it was tight enough not to come off.

"Mistress, tighter?"

"No,"

Neji frowned but inclined his head. Tighter would cause him too much pain and she didn't want him to be in pain. Sometimes he didn't know his own threshold when it came to keeping something on too taut for too long. Tenten opened one nipple clamp and caught his right nipple between her fingers. The clamp went on easily and she adjusted it to a medium intensity.

Their eyes met and Tenten shook her head. Neji let out a little breath and kept the frown on his face. She kissed his clamped nipple and flicked her tongue over it, making him shiver. Tenten clamped his other nipple before joining the two with a chain. The chain hung loose to a few inches above his belly button.

Tenten wrapped her pointer finger around the middle of the chain and pulled the chain towards her. The chain tensed and pulled on Neji's nipples tenderly. Neji let out a little groan and his eyes half closed in adore. She let the chain drop and he hummed.

She went back to her scroll. She felt Neji watching her and she smirked before releasing another seal. Tenten gathered the two items from the seal before kneeling in front of him and showing him. He smiled and nodded.

Tenten wrapped the black leather chevron collar around his neck and buckled it in place before pulling it into place so the large d-ring hung in front. She clipped the silver chain leash through the d-ring and admired him for a moment.

Neji still breathed faster than normal but had allowed his lips to part. His entire body shuddered lightly in what she knew was delight. Neji's white eyes had gone wide but had glazed over in passion. She kissed him on the lips and he allowed her to take over the slow, leisurely kiss.

She pulled away reluctantly and patted his shoulder. Tenten said nothing as she got off the bed and went to her long dresser. She did feel his eyes on her as she grabbed a hair tie and her brush. Neji leaned into her touch when she began brushing his hair until it hung smoothly down his back.

Tenten began braiding back his hair until she came to the ends where she tied off the plait with her hair tie. Tenten put her hand under the base of the braid at the back of his neck and let her hand flow downwards. Neji's braided hair tickled against her fingers and she stopped at about halfway before pulling him back hard.

Neji gasped but gave into the tug. His eyes met hers and he had a smile on his face. Tenten kissed his forehead and he licked his lips. She let him go and he shifted to sit upright again. Tenten patted his shoulder before going back to her scroll. She released the rest of the items she wanted then rolled up the scroll and put it on the floor at the foot of her bed.

Tenten went back to Neji's back with her items and set them beside her. Neji had tilted his head to watch her but she placed a finger on his cheek and pushed. He nodded and looked forward again. Tenten smirked.

She knew Neji would be licking his lips as soon as he heard the cap of the lube pop open. She pulled on a leather glove before running a line of lube over her gloved pointer finger. Neji sighed in bliss when she began rubbing the lube along his rectum.

"Make this easy for me," Tenten said.

Neji bent. Tenten watched the muscles moving under his back so his chin and shoulders rested on the bed. His knees spread apart further as he bent and his hands shifted until he could grab his asscheeks in his hands so he could expose his hole to her. Tenten massaged his lower back and he chuckled.

Tenten went back to prepping him, pushing her gloved and lubed digit into his hole and spreading around the slick material so penetration would not hurt. Neji's breaths came out in short little gasps of joy and she had to finger herself with her glove free hand through her panties. When she had three fingers in him, she placed her glove free hand onto his upper back to get his attention.

"I'm giving you a choice tonight," Tenten said.

"Thank you, Mistress,"

"You're welcome. I've got the purple dildo, the blue butt plug, and the strap on. Which would you prefer?"

Tenten ran her hand lightly along his upper back from shoulder blade to shoulder blade and he quivered under her touch. Sweat had started to gather along his spine and under the leather of the restraints. Sure, she gave him the choice in what he wanted up his ass tonight but she hoped he picked the strap on. She wanted to get off the same time as him instead of doing something creative to get them both off.

"The strap on please, Mistress,"

Tenten grinned. She pulled her fingers out of his ass, removing the glove by the cuff and placing it on a towel to clean later. Tenten tapped Neji's middle back and he relaxed. His hands came off his asscheeks and he allowed his knees to bend so his thighs almost touched his calves. As he shifted, Tenten got her panties off.

She tugged on the synthetic belts and made sure the seven inch long flesh colored dick was secured properly so it wouldn't randomly detach from the harness while they were in mid-thrust. It had happened once before and yeah, they'd had a good laugh over it later but during it had been exceptionally frustrating.

Tenten put the upraised nubs on the inside of the harness over her clit and licked her lips. The nubs extended over her clit and into her mound a bit then down over her lower lips to almost her ass so even if she shifted too much she wouldn't lose any stimulation.

"Ready?"

"Yes, Mistress,"

Neji spoke softly but she could hear the delight in his voice. Tenten grinned and placed the head of the dildo against Neji's loose hole. She pushed forward and he gasped, arching his back towards her. Tenten smiled before kissing his upper back. She let it take a long few minutes to get the entire dildo up his ass but Neji knew better than to complain about her pace.

If she was too slow for him and he complained then she would slow down more. Too quick and she would either stop all together or speed up. Tenten let out a little breath once she was fully inside and sat up straight.

"Cat o' nine tails, cane, or riding whip?" Tenten questioned.

"The cane please, Mistress," Neji said.

Tenten scowled. Their cane was bamboo wood and half an inch thick. It could hurt really bad if she didn't concentrate on how hard she hit. Neji knew (as did she) from experience when she used the strap on the cane normally didn't get employed. She tended to lose focus and whack him hard enough to break skin.

Still, he didn't mind the sting when she didn't strike so hard. It also left a nice mark on his flesh that would fade in two or three days. And if she hit him just right when they trained and he moved to avoid her weapons the marks on his flesh would jolt a little and make him smirk.

Even so, they both knew the damage she could do with the cane. The first time they had tried it with the strap on had been the last time for a damned good reason.

"Why do you want so much pain tonight?" Tenten asked.

Neji sighed. She put a hand on his hip and waited. They both knew she would wait until he answered before continuing and in this one instance, she was more patient than him. Neji didn't bother to turn his head. He did nothing but breathe but this came out quicker than normal because of his position. Tenten started rubbing his hip.

"Elders," Neji said.

Tenten rolled her eyes and smacked his hip. He gasped in shock. Normally her strikes were firm yeah, but he hated being swatted without warning and on the hips. He preferred butt, back, and upper thigh spanks.

"How many times have I told you not to use the pain you get from this to let go of whatever the Hell annoying thing the Elders have said?"

"Many, Mistress,"

"Good, you remember. What did they say?"

Tenten ran her fingers over the spot she had hit. Neji shifted uncomfortably but he knew there wasn't much he could do to get away right now trained shinobi or not. All their gear was shinobi proof and besides, Neji had nothing sharp on him.

"That I should marry the distant relative of mine and give the strength of my eyes to the Main House like they want. Hiashi-sama told them to leave me alone but I do not know how much longer they will,"

Tenten scowled. Stupid Hyuuga Elders and wanting to take her Neji away. He'd almost died during the war to protect Hinata and they couldn't give him a break even after three freaking years. Jeez, they were twenty now for crying out loud. Hinata had married Naruto a few months back and they didn't yell at her.

Then again she wasn't a potential heiress to the Hyuuga Clan anymore and Naruto was going to be guaranteed the seventh Hokage spot once Kakashi passed it up. Plus Naruto was one of the only people left with a tailed beast sealed inside him so really the Hyuuga Elders couldn't say no.

"Jerks," Tenten said.

"Yes, well, Hiashi-sama will keep holding them off and all we can do is trust him," Neji said.

She knew. She hated it too because it meant relying on someone else to solve her and Neji's issues. She hated relying on other people to solve her problems especially when she didn't know the other person well. She didn't mind Hiashi much now but damn it she wanted to have a say on who Neji married. They had been officially dating since the freaking war ended!

Tenten was sure if Neji didn't have the Elders hanging over his head then he would have proposed to her all ready. She knew there weren't many women in Konoha who would be willing to peg him with a dildo and train with him the way she did.

Tenten sighed and ran a hand over her hair. If she didn't have Neji trussed and ready to go she might flip him over to cuddle. She knew better. He'd be more pissed if she untied him now to comfort him.

"Okay, I'll make you a deal: riding whip and ball gag instead of the cane?" Tenten questioned.

Neji hummed. She kept rubbing his hip in apology where she had smacked him while he considered.

"Accepted, Mistress,"

Tenten smirked. Shifting to get the ball gag into his mouth proved to be a little difficult now that she was inside of him but she managed and he hummed in thanks. She moved back and picked up the riding whip, kicking the cane, dildo, and butt plug to the floor where they all landed with solid thunks.

Neji's shoulders rotated in preparation and she grabbed the chain of the leash in her left hand, pulling him upwards as she leaned back. He moaned, low in his throat, as he was further impaled on the dick, exposed his chest, and kept his back somewhat free.

Tenten began to move and she heard Neji inhale sharply. She concentrated on her hip motions, thrusting from a sort of backwards kneeling position, and licked her lips. Neji jolted when the whip came down across his abs but he quacked in satisfaction. Even staring at the back of his head she could tell if he liked something or not.

She had been with him as a teammate and friend for eight years, lover and girlfriend for three of those same years. She knew when he didn't like something by the tension in the muscles along his shoulders and upper back or the way his eyes would narrow if she happened to be looking at his front. If his eyes were covered then his pectoral muscles would tense in a certain way to tell her Neji had enough of whatever she happened to be doing.

It was why they didn't need safe words. Not in sex, not during training, and not even while they sometimes argued about something or another. No, they both knew each other's tells whether the other was dressed or not, facing the other or not. Their relationship was perfect like that and everyone they knew was jealous about it.

Neji jerked when she whipped him across the stomach again but his shoulders didn't tense. He let out another strangled sound of enjoyment and she started panting, thrusting hard into him. She tugged the chain a bit and whipped him across the upper thigh. Neji arched wonderfully into her and purred in pleasure.

Tenten licked her lips and was glad she had kept her hitai-ate on. It made sure the sweat coming off her forehead wouldn't get in her eyes. The nubs on the inside of the strap-on rubbed against her clit and folds amazingly and she pushed up harder against him, faster, and whipped him across the other thigh.

Neji grunted and shifted back further until her nipples skimmed against his bound arms or back. Oh yeah, he knew what she liked. Tenten smiled and whipped him across the heart for that one, knowing how much he loved the bite of the whip across his sternum.

She pulled back with the whip slower than normal until she was sure the chain from his nipple clamps hadn't been caught in her whip. Once she was certain she whapped him across the upper thighs and kept pounding into him.

She was losing her grip on the metal chain her palm was so sweaty. Tenten took a moment to wrap it around her wrist and hold onto the length but didn't let up on the ramming of Neji or the whip slashes across his abs and upper thighs. The barely there touch of her nipples against his flesh drove her wild but she didn't close her eyes.

She had to keep an eye on the muscles of his upper back and shoulders in case he wanted anything to stop. She had accidently gone too far once with a paddle on his ass and they hadn't used the paddle for six months after. She hadn't blamed him.

When he had requested it one night she had to admit she had thrown their old one out. He had laughed at her but said he would be fine to wait as he was while she picked up a new one. She had taken her dear sweet time getting that new paddle but Neji had been grinning when she returned.

Tenten had to stop thinking of old times when she realized she had closed her eyes. Neji kept up a steady stream of moans, muffled curses, and cries of pure bliss and she let out a little breath of relief before puffing a stronger breath across his neck. Neji trembled and rubbed back into her. She let out a short moan and hardly managed to keep her eyes open.

Tenten knew she was close. The heat building up in her groin was reaching max and she was ready to bust all over him. Sweat gathered between her breasts, under her hitai-ate, and at her lower back. It had become extremely difficult to keep her eyes open. Tenten dropped the whip then wrapped a hand around Neji's cock.

"Close? Nod if you are," Tenten said.

Neji nodded feverishly. Tenten grinned and undid the cock ring. Neji moaned but she clasped him hard so he didn't cum.

"I didn't give you permission," Tenten said.

He whined in apology. Tenten kissed his shoulder in acceptance. She loosened her grip on his cock and pounded into him a few more times. Tenten bit her lips and blinked a bit longer than needed. Neji arched into her until his head rested against her shoulder and she looked down at him.

Eyes half closed, forehead soaked in sweat, lips pink and moist around the gag, leather straps contrasting wonderfully against his pale flesh, and cheeks deep pink. The hair at his temples was soaked and his nostrils flared so he could keep panting.

His entire body strained, making all his tempting muscles stand out along his pale flesh. The scars on his chest from the spears and old battles were darker than the rest of his flesh, puckered, but Tenten didn't think the ugliness of the scars made Neji any less beautiful.

"Now,"

Neji released with a muffled yell of pleasure. Tenten wasn't long in following and she forced the hand holding his cock to pump him until he hung limp. It took an effort for them to stay aloft in their position so she shifted so they fell on one side. Neji grunted when they landed but made no further complaint. They trembled together and Tenten let her eyes slip shut for a few moments.

Neji trying to move made her open her eyes and she pulled out. She let go of the chain and he moved until he was lying sideways on her bed all stretched out with his feet hanging over one edge. Tenten shifted until she could kiss his cheek. He hummed and looked at her sideways. She smiled.

He licked his lips when she removed the ball gag. She kissed him passionately and he reciprocated, moaning into her mouth while she tossed the ball gag to a side. It fell on the floor somewhere but she didn't care where.

"Next?" Tenten asked when she drew back.

"I am fine, Mistress," Neji said.

Tenten smirked. Sometimes he liked simply lying in bed all trussed up while she petted him wherever she wanted. She ran a hand down his arm and he smiled. Tenten kept stroking his arm and he watched her, white eyes on her hazel ones and a grin of satisfaction on his face. Tenten gave the chain connecting his nipples a tug and he shifted his hips towards her.

"Want me to ride you?" Tenten questioned.

"In a minute, Mistress but thank you," Neji replied.

Tenten nodded. She kept caressing him: arm, chest, thighs, back of his neck, his cheeks, light touches over his forehead, a poke on his nose, tracing his lips with her fingers, and generally fondling him while he watched her, content.

He had become hard under her touches and she raised an eyebrow at him. He nodded. Tenten pulled off the strap on and placed it on the towel with the glove. These she placed on her night side table before opening the top drawer to pull out a condom.

"Headboard?" Tenten asked.

"Yes please, Mistress," Neji said.

She grinned and helped him shift until his back and bound arms were against the headboard. He straightened out his long, muscular legs, and Tenten ran her hands up from his ankles to his upper thighs. He quivered under her touch, smiling, and she kissed the head of his cock before ripping open the condom and sliding it down over him.

Neji's eyes closed in adore and he arched forward. Tenten unchained his nipples but kept the clamps on. The chain was placed on a night side table. The last time she had tossed it they had to use Byakugan to find the stupid thing. Tenten wrapped the leash around her right wrist a few times until the length left was a few inches. She would have to rest her hand on his shoulder but didn't mind.

Tenten sat in his lap and moaned when she was penetrated in one fluid motion. He let out a low and sexy growl at the movement. Tenten smiled at him and he returned the gesture.

"Are you good?" Tenten questioned.

"Yes, Mistress," Neji said.

"Do you want anything extra before we start moving?"

"No, Mistress but thank you for asking,"

Neji leaned forward and their lips met. Tenten began to move and held on tight when his hips met hers thrust for thrust. She heard the covers shifting as he raised his legs so she could lean comfortably against his knees. She unwrapped the leash a bit so she could rest her hand on his heart. Tenten grabbed the headboard beside Neji's head in her left hand then relaxed against him.

She stopped thrusting which allowed him full control despite the fact he was bound. Tenten let her eyes slip shut as Neji rammed into her. The noises they made blended and after a while Tenten didn't bother trying to figure out who was making which sound. The slap of their flesh and their heated breaths were loud in her room but she didn't mind. The feel of his heart pounding under her hand turned her on more than she cared to admit.

"Cum when you want," Tenten gasped out.

"Thank you, Mistress," Neji sputtered.

He let out a groan but she knew he didn't release. Neji had a few specific sounds for reaching completion and she knew them by heart. His thrusts did start to become wild but she didn't mind. It was a fun ride.

Tenten was about to beg him to come as she was having trouble holding on when Neji made a half-strangled growling sound. She let herself go with a gasp as he gave a few more feral shoves into her and began shivering in release.

Tenten fell against his chest but he let out a little grunt of amusement as she trembled atop him. They sat panting against each other and she felt as his heart began to slow under her palm. Tenten let her body relax against his with her head pressed on his shoulder and her entire form melting over his.

After a few moments he shifted and Tenten sat up in his lap. He hummed and she kissed the tip of his nose. She started with the nipple clamps, pulling both off gently and kissing each nipple once they were off.

They settled beside the chain on her night table and she unclipped the leash from the collar then let both items drop to the floor beside her bed. She planted a few soft kisses over his throat and he purred happily.

Tenten got off him and moved to kneel on the bed. She pulled off the used condom, tied a knot to close it then tossed it perfectly into her garbage can across the room. Tenten kissed each lash mark on his body before helping him kneel with his back to her. She unbuckled the belts keeping the arm restraints together, leaving them hanging loose off his left wrist, and rubbed his shoulders to help him move his arms.

He hummed in thanks but moved his arms away from her hands when she went to talk off the restraints themselves. Tenten smirked. Sometimes he liked keeping the restraints on overnight and it seemed like tonight would be the case.

Tenten pushed everything off the bed except for Neji then shifted. Neji watched as she lay out in bed with her head on the pillows and back against the rumbled blanket. When she was stretched out Neji laid his head on her stomach with the top of it close to her breasts. His arms wrapped around her waist while his legs curled around hers. He lay so his stomach rested against her right side even though she had taken the middle of the bed. He had enough room to take either side but he preferred lying to her right for some reason.

Tenten took his braid in her hands until she could take the elastic out and began unbraiding his hair. Neji let out a little breath and began rubbing the skin under his hands softly. Tenten smiled as he massaged her gently.

She got the braid undone and began running her right hand through his hair while the left entwined in his right hand. His left shifted under her body so his left hand could rub the skin of her hip. Tenten kept running her fingers through his hair and he hummed in thanks.

They did not speak as Tenten snuggled with him. When they had bought their restraints the woman at the store had offered a book for beginners in bondage and told them it was best to cuddle with the submissive after a session.

They had read the book to each other that night instead of playing with their new toys. There had even been a twenty question survey to see who was the dominate one in bed. Both had been shocked to find Tenten was the dominate one in the bedroom. There had been a checklist too and they hadn't really been surprised to see they had checked off the same things as wanting to try, struck off the same concepts as never attempting, and circled the same for any maybes.

"How're you doing?" Tenten questioned.

"I'm exceptionally comfortable right now. If you stop running your hand through my hair I might actually cry,"

Tenten smirked. She kept running her hand though Neji's hair only stopping at his scalp to massage it. He kept stroking her hip absently and his breathing came out in controlled, soft, and, normal breaths.

"Can I ask you a question?" Tenten asked.

"You did but yes," Neji replied.

She snorted at him. She kept petting his hair and took a breath. He might get mad.

"Why do you like being dominated so much?" Tenten questioned.

"Hn,"

He didn't move but didn't offer her anything else but his neutral sound. His muscles didn't tense though and he kept rubbing her hip. Tenten frowned.

"Neji, I'm serious. Why do you like me taking control of you in the most intimate thing we could possibly do?"

Neji sighed. He shifted and she let him. He didn't go far but enough he could lift his head and meet her eyes. Tenten placed a hand on the side of his face and he rubbed into her hand, half closing his eyes like some kind of feline. Tenten massaged his scalp as he thought about her question.

"I do not get much choice when it comes to my life," Neji said.

Tenten nodded. He had been born into the Branch House so his entire life revolved around serving the Main House. He didn't have a choice of whether he wanted to be a shinobi or not because he had manifested Byakugan. He didn't get to choose his team. He hadn't really gotten to choose his friends as Naruto had kind of taken over really.

He hadn't gotten to pick a fighting style or if he wanted to excel in something besides the Gentle Fist. He couldn't really choose what he wanted to wear because if he did wear something "scandalous" the Elders would punish him. He had no say over any aspect of his life except for training and sex.

During training, Tenten allowed him to pick what they would do. When training had been with Guy-sensei the training had been a certain regime but mixed up enough that Neji didn't complain nor care. On the training field now, it was Neji's choice on time, location, and what they did.

He chose where they ate if they went out for dinner or any other meal, he chose the movies they watched (but did keep her in mind when they did), and he chose what they would do on dates. So it didn't make sense he would allow her control in the bedroom and his answer didn't help.

"Yeah I know. It's why this confuses me," Tenten said.

Neji chuckled. He nuzzled into her hand again and she couldn't help but smile at him.

"You still give me the choice of what you're doing to me. Yes, you may be in control of the act itself but you also ask me what I prefer during said act. And to be honest, it is, well, sexy to have you, someone I trust with every ounce of my being, in control of me in our bedroom activities,"

Neji kissed her hand and Tenten grinned. He had good points. Tenten watched as he shrugged.

"I also don't want to bind you. You're too free spirited to be bound and I'm afraid I might hurt you,"

Neji kept his eyes on her and she let out a little breath. Tenten trusted he wouldn't hurt her. Heck, when he took control during a mission he always made sure everyone played to their strengths and came back safely.

"You would never hurt me," Tenten said.

Neji shrugged.

"Not intentionally," Neji said.

Tenten snorted at him.

"I've hurt you unintentionally lots of times. So what's the difference?"

Neji let out a little breath. He smirked.

"I don't like hurting you even if it is unintentional. My first thought after almost dying on the battlefield was how much my death might hurt you and I, well, almost wanted to die because it would hurt you so badly," Neji said.

Tenten raised an eyebrow. Sometimes he didn't make sense.

"And you think I like hurting you?" Tenten asked.

He snorted.

"Says the one who whipped me tonight,"

He grinned as she flushed. Okay, he made a good point there. Something about seeing Neji bound and under her mercy made her feel really good. She had no idea why but whatever. He loved it, she loved it and that's all that mattered.

Neji snuggled back into her body again, this time resting his head on her breasts. She smirked but didn't complain. Tenten kept running her hands through Neji's hair or massaging his scalp until his breathing went even and deep, signaling the fact he had fallen asleep.

Tenten used the chain from his nipples to turn off both lamps before settling back into a comfortable position. Tomorrow they would don robes, eat breakfast then put all their toys away before showering and heading out to train. Tenten closed her eyes but couldn't help smiling. They had nothing to do tomorrow night either. It would be an awesome night.

So there will be more chapters as I discovered after writing this one. It's more ongoing fiction...yay?

Eventually there will be children. ;)
