-more of a romantic/warms your heart not your body chapter-

It was 8:00 am, Hinata had just finished taking a shower. Her wet footsteps followed her into the bedroom. She opened up her drawer; she grabbed her white lace bra and seamless lace panties, which barely covered her ass. She felt good today, she felt more feminine. She slipped on a womanly outfit, different from her usual leggings, t-shirt, and sweater. Though the weather was cold outside, their home was warm. She slipped on a sun dress; it cut off mid thigh and had thin straps. It was cream and almost blended into the color of her skin. The dress itself showed a good amount of her cleavage; as it was a low cut 'v' shape. She made her way out of the bedroom wondering where sasuke had gone; since she had woken up that morning alone in bed. She put on a cardigan, before making her way outside; she walked around the compound, making her way near the back courtyard. She saw a small building in the corner of the property, and wondered why she hadn't seen it before. She neared the building, bushes and stone landscaping surrounded the outside. She slid the sliding door open to reveal a dojo. There was a large Uchiha symbol on the wall before her. The morning light shone through the high windows, the dust illuminating in the light. It was stuffy, the air was cold; she could tell it hadn't been used for a while. She walked around looking and touching the walls as she imagined sasuke training inside. She made her way back outside to the back courtyard where she heard an odd sound. She made her way onto the engawa of the home and entered through the sliding doors. She walked further into the corridor, towards the noise. She poked her head into a room, the door was wide open. Sasuke was in his weapons room sharpening his kunai seriously. He sensed her near him and he turned around.

"Sleep well?" He asked while still holding a kunai in his hand. Hinata nodded yes, and walked in. "Do you need help?" She stood beside him and took hold of a kunai.

"You should go eat breakfast." He told her. She put the kunai down; "have you eaten yet?" She asked.

"Yes."He turned on his grinding wheel and proceeded to sharpen his kunai. Hinata went out of the room, and made her way to the kitchen. There was food set on a tray with a note."Hinata-sama" The maid left it out on the counter for her. The food was surprisingly still hot; she went to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water. She didn't want to lug the meal to the table, so she ate standing up. She leaned against the counter.

'Does he not like it? I was hoping for a bit more of a reaction about this dress; maybe it's not his style…'she disappointedly thought as she munched on her food.

Back at the weapons room—

"Damn it!" Sasuke said to himself. He nicked himself with the tip of a dull kunai.

'Did she have to wear that today? It's so cold out. Is she messing with me?' He thought to himself as he began sharpening again.

Hinata looked around; the maid was nowhere to be found. She finished her food and began to do the dishes. She didn't mind doing dishes; she felt it was calming. She wiped her hands dry, and she made her way out of the kitchen, only to meet sasuke at the kitchen doorway.

"Are you done already?" Hinata asked him.

"Mm." Sasuke nodded his head and walked to the fridge.

"Did the maid come by today?"Hinata was curious.

"She made breakfast and I made her take the rest of the day off." He said opening the fridge and reaching in.

"Oh, that's very nice of you."Hinata smiled. Sasuke opened a water bottle and took a good gulp. He looked over at hinata; eyeing her cleavage. She soon took notice; she blushed and went into the corridor out to the living area. Sasuke followed behind. Hinata took off her cardigan and set it on the arm rest of the couch. She walked around the coffee table before taking a seat. There was a book on the side table and she picked it up. Sasuke couldn't take his eyes of her as he took a seat across from her. Hinata's nose in the book; sasuke scanned her body with his eyes.

"Is there anything you want to do today?" Sasuke asked placing his bottle of water on the coffee table.

"Hm?" Hinata wasn't paying attention.

"Never mind." He said still looking at her.

Hinata smiled and put her book on the arm rest, she stood up to leave. The book dropped, sasuke looked over, and she bent down to pick it up. The skirt of her dress lifted up, exposing her ass cheeks barely covered by her lace panties. Sasuke swallowed, he was sure she was playing games with him today.

'Two could play that game'He smirked as he got up. "It's a little hot in here isn't it?"

"Mhm… it's a little warm."Hinata placed the book on the side table and looked back answering sasuke. He grabbed his t-shirt sleeves and rolled them up wards exposing his biceps and his ANBU tattoo. Hinata swallowed, trying not to eye his biceps.

She smiled. "Well…" She swallowed again. She blinked once real hard to snap herself back to reality. "I think I need some water…" She tried to make her way to the kitchen.

"Here" Sasuke handed her his water."Have some" Hinata couldn't help but gaze up the arm that was extended in front of her. Without looking at it she grabbed the water bottle her eyes fixed on his tattoo. Sasuke smirked he knew he was getting to her. For once he was teasing her.

"Mmm.. never mind." Hinata sighed and put the water bottle back onto the coffee table. "I have to go use the bathroom." She said quickly with a slight pant. She went to their guest bathroom. She shut the door and leaned behind it. She closed her eyes; all she kept seeing was flashes of his toned arms. She walked over to the sink and splashed her face with cold water.

Sasuke was extremely happy; he wanted to play with her some more. He made his way to their bedroom.

Hinata came out of the bathroom and back into the living area. Sasuke was gone.

"Hinata." His sultry voice called from their bedroom.

Hinata walked over to their bedroom. She opened the closed door. Sasuke was sitting top less on their bed stretching his arms; flexing his muscles.

"W-what are y-you doing?" Hinata's face went pink and hot.

"Agh… my arms are sore for some reason." Sasuke said stretching his arms above his head. "Could you help me?" He smiled at her.

"O-Oh of c-course."She walked over and sat behind him. She took a long breath in looking at his muscular back and shoulders. She cleared her throat.

"Hinata?" He asked looking over his shoulder with a smirk on his face.

"Mm?" She said in a high tone.

His smirk only grew bigger. "Is everything okay?" He tried to hide his laughter.

"Yup." She said again fairly high.

"Ugh… my neck is killing me too." He began tilting his head side to side. She could see where she marked him from the night before.

"Ahem…*cough*" Hinata's eyes were having a feast.

"Could you?…agh…my neck…" He said tilting his head to the side. Hinata's shaky hands went on his shoulders. She let out a breath loudly. Her thumbs moved up and down behind his neck massaging him.

"Mmmm…" Sasuke said in a tantalizing voice. "And my shoulders."

Her hands slipped down to his shoulders, she began to massage him. "umm..." again his voice made her breath louder.

He couldn't help himself anymore he let out a chuckle.

Hinata stopped what she was doing. "W-whats wrong?"

He turned his body around, and looked at her closely. "You REALLYlike touching me don't you?"

Her face turned bright red from embarrassment.

"Why?" Sasuke asked curiously. He never had a woman who wanted and enjoyed 'feeling' him up so badly. "Tell me, I want to know." He leaned back looking at her blush fade away.

"They can protect me…your arms…" She said looking down at her hands placed on her lap.

Sasuke was surprised; he was waiting for something to do with his muscles and how handsome he was. He looked at her, now even more intrigued by her.

"They're capable and…strong." Hinata looked up at him. Of course his muscles were one of the reasons; but she decided to explain the more meaningful reasons.

"You're really something hinata." He said to her softly. She smiled and looked away.

"And…that…" she looked at his bicep and her hand grazed his tattoo. He looked at his bicep where her hand was. "It's proof…"she said lovingly. "…that you can protect me."

He could've jumped on her and she could've done the same. But they didn't. He held her hand, taking it off his bicep, kissed the back of it; and then placed it on his cheek. His eyes closed; he was beyond flattered. He had a bigger duty now, he had to protect the village, but most importantly; he had to protect her.

He put her hand down. "Do you miss them?" He asked her.

"Who?" she looked at him. "You're family…"He said in his irresistible voice.

"You are my family." She looked into the darkness that was his eyes. He hugged her tightly. She returned the hug by burying her face in his shoulder.

She hadn't missed her family. She didn't miss the controlling father, the uninterested sister, the branch family, nothing. She loved them. But she didn't miss them. Her home, her family was sasuke.
