A/N: The Uchihas are mafia, and the Hyuugas are too (gasp). No Hinata bashing, Sasuke's just mean cause he's jealous.

Warnings: plotting, Sasuke taking action (he means well, believe it), fast development.

Uchiha Sasuke was a young man who knew what he wanted and usually knew how to get it as well. The alpha preferred a head-on approach, as he was no stranger to using force and precision, especially in situations where lives and money were at stake. Being the younger son of a mafia boss made him grow up early and learn that everything has a price, and can be bought. Even loyalty to the clan, repaid by support and immunity to outer dangers, or respect, earned by making the hardest deals and staying unperturbed whatever the case, were no different. It was all about give and take. This time, however, Sasuke realised that he'd have to work harder to win over the gorgeous strong-willed omega he set his heart on.

Uzumaki Naruto, a 5'8'' tall, blond haired, blue eyed third year biology student, who lived alone with a beta mother and currently worked part time at a small pet shop. Sasuke saw him one day at the main building, laughing heartily at something his pink haired friend said. It was at that particular moment that the usually disinterested cold-hearted Uchiha fell in love. Even though the blond was wearing baggy old jeans and an atrocious orange hoodie almost two sizes too big, he could see that the man was an omega. Soft smooth features of his expressive face, nicely shaped hands with long delicate fingers, lean strong form of his supple body - Naruto was the perfect material for an Uchiha bride Sasuke's father was nagging him to choose. Perhaps, Uzumaki wasn't as meek and obedient as Fugaku was envisaging his younger son's future mate, but the young alpha wouldn't agree to anything less, now that he had his eyes on the delectable blond.

"Sasuke-sama," a voice interrupted the Uchiha's thoughts, as the door to his study opened and a tall man entered with a respectful bow. Jugo was Sasuke's most trusted bodyguard, who stayed with him since he was sixteen. At first the constant presence of the burly alpha irritated the Uchiha, but the redhead proved himself loyal to a fault, an extremely efficient bodyguard and a good sparing partner. He was one of the few men in the clan that Sasuke really trusted. That was why he gave Jugo the very important task of making sure that nothing bad happened to Naruto, while he was learning more about the omega of his dreams and was looking for a way to make him his.

The tall alpha had been at it for three weeks already, following Naruto everywhere he went and reporting to Sasuke at the end of the day. Now Jugo no doubt was about to tell him how the meeting Naruto planned with two of his friends at Konoha City Mall went. While the Uchiha had no objections against the Haruno girl Naruto spent so much time with (they were both omegas, so it was understandable), the closeness of the Huuyga heiress to his future bride didn't sit well with Sasuke at all. He'd rather have the pathetic beta, who still hoped for something, eliminated, like that dirty old pervert from the convenience store Naruto, thankfully, didn't work at any more (he let Jugo threaten him so convincingly the filthy scum left the country, fearing for his life). But alas, the Huuyga clan was almost as powerful as the Uchihas, the key word being "almost". No way in hell would Sasuke let her have what was rightfully his (and in the alpha's mind Naruto already belonged to him, locked away in his room, preferably chained to the bed and perpetually in heat, begging to take him).

"Speak," Sasuke commanded, skilfully masking his giddy anticipation. He needed to know every tiny detail. But as Jugo proceeded with his report, the Uchiha's face grew darker until the brunet looked like he was ready to kill someone.

"So that stupid bitch refuses to understand Naruto will never be with an ugly slut like her," Sasuke spat out angrily. Oh how he'd like to teach her a lesson himself, but he didn't want to ruin his connection with the beta's fairly powerful and useful cousin. Damn it all to hell. Sasuke needed to do something. He already waited too long, and now that "date" thing happened. 'How very sly of you Hinata-sama', thought the alpha acidly, pacing around the room.

"I think she won't succeed in her aspirations," Jugo calmly interrupted his fit of silent fury. "Besides, there is something you could use to win Uzumaki-san's favour," with that the alpha passed his phone into the the Uchiha's hands. When Sasuke looked down at the picture which shone brightly and clearly from the screen, he felt his lips stretch into a feral grin.

Here was his omega, this time in an adorable blue sweater that hugged his form in all the right places, standing inside the lingerie shop he stopped at last week. 'So he was interested in the underwear after all, that little sexy minx,' thought the brunet with great satisfaction. He would love to give Naruto all the lacy garments he wished for, and ravish him later, tearing them all to shreds. The ensemble the blond was looking at in the picture was absolutely delicious, Sasuke knew it would suit the omega perfectly and he couldn't wait to see it.

"Uzumaki-san was also looking at the pieces on the right, but the shop assistant seemed to have scared him away, and he left in low spirits."

"You know what to do," the Uchiha wouldn't allow anyone to upset Naruto and stay unpunished. "Make sure she doesn't get a decent job in the city."

"Understood," and Jugo left the room as quiet as always, leaving his young master to his thoughts. And Sasuke had a lot to think through.

Naruto never liked Mondays, but this one even less so, because the temperature suddenly dropped below zero, making it practically impossible for him to stay in the street for more than five minutes without turning an unattractive shade of blue. 'Fuck them buses,' the omega thought in frustration, as he waited at the bust stop, doing the freezing-my-balls-off little dance on the spot. The place was deserted at six in the morning, and Naruto was suffering from the icy currents of air alone. He was breathing on his clasped hands, trying to return some feeling to the stiff fingers (of course he had to forget his gloves), when a black sports car suddenly pulled into the bus stop and stopped right in front of him. 'Wait, could it be...' Naruto didn't get to finish his thought as the tinted window went down and he saw Sasuke bastard sitting at the wheel.

"Hey, Uzumaki," the alpha greeted conversationally, as if them speaking was an everyday occurrence. Which was obviously not the case and rose a very important question, "And you know my name how?" no niceties with the rich prick.

"Our names are on the best students list in the hall, and yours is right next to mine," Sasuke smirked cockily, Naruto scoffed. Well, that sounded plausible, but Naruto still found it hard to believe the Uchiha would check students lists in the main hall, even the blond did it in passing. A particularly strong gust of wind hit the omega right in the face, making him give a whole-body shiver.

"You getting in, or what?" the Uchiha looked impatient, he must be getting chilly even seated in his warm little car. Then Naruto blinked in confusion, the words finally catching up with him.

"You mean you want to, like, give me a lift?" this was really bizarre. And suspicious.

"Yeah, now if you would," and Sasuke leaned to the side to open the door for Naruto. This was surreal. Maybe the blond was still sleeping and his tired brain was making this whole thing up. But the cold was real enough and the omega finally gave in, climbing into the leather seat.

As soon as he closed the door behind him, it locked, making Naruto jump a little at the sudden click, but before he could say anything, the Uchiha sped away from the bus stop. Now that they were in confined space together, the blond could smell Sasuke's undiluted alpha scent. It was surprisingly appealing and Naruto sniffed the air carefully. If Sasuke noticed, he didn't comment on it, and Naruto was thankful.

The omega really felt disoriented, everything happened so quickly. He fidgeted a bit, rubbing his slowly warming hands.

"So... Do you always give lifts to random people?" Sasuke glanced at him, and reached to turn up the heater. Wow, how considerate.

"No, I choose only the most hopeless ones," okay, in-fucking-considerate as hell. Naruto grumbled to himself, not noticing the adoring look the Uchiha now had on his face, watching him from the corner of his eye.

"Not everybody has a nice fancy car," Naruto had to admit, the car was wicked, it moved with such fluidity, it felt as if they were flowing on air. The leather upholstery was smooth and looked very expensive, as well as all the electronics stuffed into the dashboard. It had to be the best if it was Sasuke's.

"I could drive you to the uni every day, you know," now that was unexpected. Naruto even turned in his seat to face the alpha completely.

"And you would do that why exactly?" seriously, what the hell, the omega was liking where this was going less with every passing second.

"Because I love you."

"Okay," Naruto said after a long pause, feeling his brain halt its activity for a moment. They drove in silence until the next red light. When the car stopped, the blond said, "You know, I'll get off here, thanks for the ride and all," he reached for the door handle and started to yank it frantically.

"We're still five blocks away," the Uchiha said bluntly.

"Then I'll walk," Naruto insisted, being closer to hyperventilating than he liked.

"You'll freeze." Sasuke stated the obvious, but Naruto was having none of it.

"Then I will," he needed to get out of there. What was it anyway, some kind of sick joke the rich played on naïve paupers. "Let me go!"

"Don't be ridiculous," and the alpha resumed his driving, not batting an eyelash at Naruto's heated protests. By the time they got to the university parking lot, Naruto calmed down somewhat, or rather got tired. Plus the alpha's scent had a weird calming effect on his nerves. The blond simply couldn't ignore the fact that he felt safe around the Uchiha. How come he thought of him as a heartless bastard for so long? He couldn't even remember now.

Luckily, this early the fan club hasn't gathered yet, and Naruto had a chance to leave the Uchiha's car unnoticed. When they pulled into Sasuke's usual spot, the omega got ready to leave, but the door still didn't budge. He looked at the alpha expectantly, his gaze having lost all its heat during the ride.

"You wanna let me go now?"

"I will, but you have to promise me something first," here's that infuriating, yet rather adorable smirk again.

"What?"

"Go on a date with me."

"Were you actually serious?" Naruto still found the Uchiha's random confession really out of place.

"Yes. I'll pick you up at four at the front gate," the door unlocked.

"I haven't agreed yet!"

"Don't be late," and with that the brunet got out of the car, so Naruto had to hurry and do the same. The bastard gave two damns about his opinion. He wanted to tell him to go fuck himself, but Sasuke's last words caught him off guard, "I'll take you to Ichiraku's."

"Whatever," the blond mumbled to the alpha's retreating back. If he wanted to spend his money on him, then so be it, Naruto won't restrain himself and eat as much as he'd like. He'll show the pompous self-centred prick how to treat people as if they were his toys.

The date went surprisingly well. The alpha didn't say a word as Naruto ordered bowl after bowl of the heavenly noodles. If anything, he was indulgent and encouraged the blond to try the dessert as well. The fruit salad with whipped cream and honey was truly delicious, as well as the vanilla ice-cream with strawberry jam that he ordered the last. The omega tried to eat as messily as he possibly could to make the Uchiha regret he invited him at all, but the brunet wasn't bothered by the spectacle in the slightest. In fact, he was watching Naruto with particular intensity throughout the whole meal. 'What a weirdo,' thought the blond as they were leaving the restaurant.

Naruto was about to head to the escalators, when Sasuke took him gently but firmly by the elbow and lead them to the elevators instead.

"What, you're my personal driver now?" the blond joked, but The Uchiha answered with a serious expression, "For you I'll be anything."

"Right," and it was so easy to pretend the alpha didn't say anything this morning, and they were just friends, like he and Hinata, or Kiba. The dog lover was an alpha too but they hang out just fine.

Naruto was glad, of course, that he wouldn't have to face the cold for too long again, but going to the underground parking meant he wouldn't pass by the lingerie shop again. By now the beautiful lace became his little obsession. Just as they were entering the elevator, the assistant's words from last Friday came to the omega's mind. Would he really be able to 'excite the alpha' who held him so close now, still not letting go of his arm. 'What nonsense,' Naruto thought, but blushed nonetheless. From this angle the blond couldn't see Sasuke's face, but felt him make a deeper inhale, and realised that he himself became a bit aroused just thinking about wearing the sensual garments in font of the Uchiha.

The ride home was fairly silent, Naruto still mortified about his blatant reaction. It didn't even occur to the omega that Sasuke never asked for his address, and still arrived at the right place. The Uzumaki residence was a modest one-storey house with a small garden at the front and a blue fence that desperately needed mending. When the car stopped Naruto noticed, to his surprise, that the lights at the house were on, meaning that Kushina was back from work early today. He hurried to get rid of the Uchiha, lest she sees the fancy car that drove him home, and its fancy owner. But the damned door was locked again.

"Seriously? I though we were past this," he turned to Sasuke and was startled by the kiss the alpha placed on his lips unexpectedly. It was short but caused a wave of heat rush though the omega's body, making him momentarily flush bright pink. "What was that for!"

"A goodbye kiss, I certainly deserve one," Sasuke touched Naruto's cheek, running his long pale fingers down and gripping the omega's chin lightly, "Or two." He was leaning down once again, but the blond pushed at his chest, stopping the alpha from further actions.

"One's enough for you. Come on, open it, I need to go," he turned back to yanking the handle, making it clear that the conversation was over. The brunet sighed, but complied, and as Naruto climbed out, put in the final word, "See you tomorrow."

Naruto only glared at him, before going into the house. He hoped his mother hadn't seen anything and it seemed she hadn't, as Kushina simply greeted him and asked how his day had been. It was only a couple of hours later, when they had their midnight tea together (Kushina getting ready for her night shift, and Naruto having just finished a project for tomorrow), that the redhead said, "I see you're finally getting suitors." The blond almost choked on the hot liquid, "It's not-! Sasuke's just weird like that! Spouting all kind of nonsense, and then doing stupid things," he said evasively, sounding rather flustered.

"Ah, when Minato was trying to get me to date him, he also did some silly stuff," Kushina said with a fond smile, "One time he brought me this huge bouquet of flowers, and your granny Mito was allergic to them, so she immediately threw it out the door, hitting your poor father straight in the face," and she laughed warmly at the endearing memory. Naruto smiled too, thinking, what he would do if Sasuke gave him flowers. The alpha didn't seem to be the flower kind of guy, and the blond couldn't decide whether he liked it or not.

Sasuke got straight to the point. How will their relationship progress? And what about the sexy lingerie, when will Naruto get it? :D
