Chapter 21

It was a little tricky, waking up before Hinata, but Sasuke had been setting his alarm clock lately, getting back into the routine of waking up early again. Which is why, as his girlfriend continues to sleep in a sexy white negligee that she'd thrown on before bed, Sasuke smirks and sneaks under the covers, turning her slowly onto her back, stealthily removing the lace from between soft thighs and tossing it off the bed.

Then, carefully spreading her legs just enough, he presses soft butterfly kisses along her skin, working his way towards the silky folds awaiting him. His kisses slowly increase in intensity, pride running through him as she starts to squirm in her sleep, trying and failing to close her legs and rub them together. Not that she wasn't giving it her best shot. Sasuke was just…stronger.

Face to face with his target, his smirk widens, and he runs his tongue along the soft, smooth flesh, dipping between the folds to target her clit, sucking it between his lips as he buries his head completely in her most intimate place.

Hinata had been sleeping soundly. It was hard not to when you were snuggled up to a sexy soldier who was willing to stare down Hiashi Hyuga for you. That was until she felt herself turned, but she ignored it.

After that, it was light kisses. Hinata also ignored that. She thought she was just sleeping. What she couldn't ignore was when the kisses became more intense and she felt a tongue against her most intimate place and something, well more specifically, someone sucking on her clit!

"S-Sasuke!" She lets out a rather lewd moan that would have had her father ground her until she was at least fifty, if he had heard it and the Hyuga woman squirms. "Nhh! A-Ambusher!" She wasn't sure if that was a real word or not, but it was definitely accurate. "Oh God!" Not that she wanted him to stop. She'd probably smack him, if he did.

It just felt so good. She could feel herself getting wetter with every lick and every suck. Two powerful instincts warred inside her. Her natural shyness which told her to close her legs and the desire for well more of this feeling. Oh fuck! So good!

Well, it looked like Sasuke was delivering on his promise. He did say that he was going to wake her up for work in a way she'll NEVER forget. He doubted she was going to forget this as he licks at the wetness dripping from her, working his tongue inside the tight, warm hole and rubbing as far as he could reach.

"Ah!" She squirms wildly as she feels herself get soaked. "D-Don't stop!" Hinata had thought his fingers felt good, but that was nothing compared to what this man could do with his mouth.

While his mouth continues to make love to her, Sasuke's fingers take over rubbing and rolling the sensitive pearl that just begged for attention. The sounds Hinata made were so sweet…Sasuke could definitely get used to hearing those in the morning.

She whimpers, lost in desire as she writhes against him helplessly. "Yes!" It just felt so good. "So close!" So intense. There was no way she was going to be able to hold back much longer.

Having memorized her spot from the last time they'd done this, Sasuke withdraws his tongue, sliding his fingers inside and rubbing vigorously at both spots, inside and out while his tongue lapped up every drop that spilled out. She tasted so sweet…

Hinata screams in pleasure. "SASUKE!" She couldn't hold it back anymore. She came hard and fast, panting.

End of Lime

Half a minute later, the blankets shift, revealing Sasuke as he emerges from their depths, smirking smugly as he hovers over Hinata. "I told you that I'd make a good alarm clock." His hair was an absolute mess, but he was still ridiculously pleased with himself. It looked like Hinata was a screamer.

She blushes. "Well that's definitely one way to wake me up." The Hyuga woman blushes more. "But not particularly productive. I think I'm just going to call in sick. Hard to want to leave the bed after that."

"Mmm…I like that idea." Sasuke's lips attach to her throat, trailing kisses down it and leaving very red marks behind. "But so naughty…you really should have a better work ethic." He smirks as he tugs down the front of the negligee, pressing a kiss to one of her breasts, taking the nipple in his mouth and swirling his tongue all around it.

Hinata sighs in pleasure. "B-Better to call off. I won't be able to f-focus and someone could get hurt, if I'm not attentive." She gasps when he takes a nipple into his mouth. "And I h-haven't called off sick once since I started working there, so my w-work ethic is fine."

"Alright then…" He reaches over to the bedside table, where Hinata had put her phone before falling asleep. "Go ahead and call them. I'll wait." He passes her the phone, before lying his weight on her stomach.

"Alright." She dials the number. "Tsunade, I can't come into work today." Hinata fakes a rather convincing cough. "I think I've come down with something and I'd rather not expose my patients to it."

Sasuke covers his mouth, willing himself not to laugh at the sight of Hinata actually trying to lie convincingly to her boss. He couldn't do that. Well, he was technically capable of lying, he just…didn't. It was against the rules.

On the other end of the line, Doctor Tsunade blinks. "I see. Well, do try to get some rest. I'll have Shizune find someone to cover your shift for today."

"Thank you, Tsunade. I r-really appreciate this." Hinata feigns making sounds that implied she was close to vomiting. "And p-please thank Shizune for me."

"Yes, yes, now get to bed and stay there, I expect you to do your best to recover quickly. I don't like losing my best employees for longer than I have to." Sick her ass, the girl sounded like she'd been woken up with a trip to heaven. Tsunade wasn't born yesterday, despite her still fairly youthful appearance.

"I'll try my b-best." Hinata coughs out. "Thank you." She hangs up. Well that was easier than expected. She'd totally bought it.

Sasuke sometimes wondered if his face was going to crack from smirking too much. That could happen, right? "You're lucky that she couldn't see you in person. You really need to work on your poker face."

"It's hard to have a pokerface, immediately after THAT." Hinata blushes.

"No, you've got a bad poker face all the time." Sasuke leans up to caress her cheek. "But it's alright, you're just a very earnest person."

She leans into the touch. "Oh. Alright." Hinata blushes more. She didn't really know what to say after that. "So...I don't have to go into work and you don't..."

"Not for a few months." Sasuke was technically still on leave until his sessions with Konan finished, and each week, they talked about a few more of the details of what had happened. It was never pleasant, but he knew that it had to be done, and he suffered through it because he was too stubborn to give up. "I suppose that I could do my daily training exercises, but taking one day off won't kill me."

"Mmm, Sasuke, I know you're a soldier and used to following a set routine." She smiles and pins him underneath her playfully. "There is something to be said for creativity though, and there is more than one way to get exercise."

Yeah, his face was definitely going to crack from all the smirking. "Is that so? Well, you're the physical therapist. Why don't you show me these alternative 'exercises'?" He really hoped that she was going where he thought she was going with this.

She bites her lower lip. "Mmm well there are many different options available for your treatment plan." Hinata wasn't really used to initiating. The few times she had been the more assertive lover, it was generally after being asked to in a more direct fashion. "Maybe, we could start with flexibility training."

"Oh?" Sasuke considered himself to be fairly flexible, though that was another thing he was trying to regain, in addition to his stamina. "And what did you have in mind?"

"Mmm well I wanted you to touch me." She leans down and brushes her lips against his ear. "Everywhere."

Chuckling, Sasuke lifts his hands from the bed, running them up Hinata's thighs, over her backside, into the curve of her waist, and then onto her breasts. "I think I can manage that."

She sighs in pleasure. "Mmm I think you can too." That felt nice. Very nice. "Such a good patient."

Hinata made it very hard…period. That's what Sasuke decides as he runs his hands all over her skin, his lips attacking her neck, leaving bright lovebites. "Well, I think I'm being a very bad patient." He squeezes her backside firmly, reveling in the feeling of her soft flesh.

Hinata mews at the lovebites. "Mmm well that's okay. I'm a professional." She slides her hand down and grasps his arousal. "I'm not unfamiliar with less than cooperative patients, but you seem VERY cooperative to me."

Sasuke bucks into her hand,enjoying that familiar soft feeling of her palm. "Well, it helps to have a beautiful woman on top of me to help speed my recovery." It seemed like every time she touched him this way, his skin was going to turn to liquid fire. It felt so good.

"Always happy to help." She leans down and kisses him. "So is that how you like it? The woman on top?" Hinata looks at him curiously. She knew that he had a thing for offices and like most men he definitely liked getting his "sword" played with and sucked off, but not that much else. "Because I can do that... if that's what you like." She places a few soft kisses along his neck and slides out of her negligee.

His eyes focus on her face as he cups the back of her head and kisses her back. "I can appreciate a woman who can be strong when she wants something. And I can't argue with the view…" His eyes trail down her body, taking it in appreciatively. "I just figure that the further we get, the more positions we'll try, and eventually, it won't even matter which way is up."

Hinata blushes at the way he was looking at her. "Good to know." She had once said he reminded her of a lion and he definitely looked ready to pounce or be pounced. "Mmm well I do have the day off. So we can explore a bit." She kisses his neck a couple more times before moving onto his chest and going back to stroke his arousal in her hand.

"I like the sound of that." Sasuke groans quietly as she plays with his 'sword'. For a second, he wondered how she'd gotten so good at that, but quickly wiped it from his mind. Right now, that didn't matter. What mattered was his hands on her breasts, squeezing the soft mounds and pinching the stiffening rosy nipples. How Hinata was so beautiful, he didn't know. All he knew was that it was an undeniable fact. Beautiful…inside and out.

She smiles and scatters butterfly kisses and love bites along the expanse of his chest, while stroking him a few more times. "We'll go slow this time." Hinata leans down and kisses him. As appealing as the thought of letting him ravish her was, it was probably safer for her to take the reigns. At least for a little while. "We have ALL day." She leaves a trail of kisses along his jaw. "So there's no need to rush."

Hinata slowly glides her already soaked womanhood against his arousal and guides him until he was positioned against her, but not inside her. "Let me know when you're ready." She glances down at him. Hinata couldn't believe that she was straddling Sasuke's Uchiha naked and about to actually dominate him in a way. She could remember more than one girl from high school (even Ino at one point) who would literally kill to be in her current position.

Biting back a groan, Sasuke grabs hold of her hips, shifts slightly underneath her, finding a more comfortable pressure. "Cute, but I'm not that fragile." Lust-hazed onyx eyes stare up at her. "Whenever you are, Hinata."

"Mmm I've been ready for awhile." She kisses him as she slides herself onto him, moaning at the sensation of being completely filled. "J-Just wanted you to get better first is all." She wiggles her hips experimentally.

"Better…definitely better…" Sasuke groans as she wiggles her hips, finding it very hard to restrain himself for more than about five seconds before thrusting his hips up into the tight, wet heat. "Ah…fuck." It felt so good…

Hinata moans as he moves inside her. "G-Good." She leans down and kisses him passionately, her hair surrounding them like the waterfall and the silky strands teasing his bare skin as she arches against him and begins to move against him faster. "Nhh!" She was suddenly tempted to call in sick more often as she felt his powerful thrusts inside her. It was going to be hard to focus on anything else after this.

Tongues tangled together erratically, Sasuke's instincts were quickly pushing all conscious thought out of sight and out of mind. And, thrusting in at a slightly steeper angle, he searches through the haze for the place that would make Hinata scream his name.

"AH!" Hinata moans into the kiss. "S-SASUKE!" Oh God, that felt good. She rocks against him desperately, eager to get more of that feeling. He seemed to instinctively k now where her spot was and at the moment, it was becoming rather difficult to tell where she ended and where he began. "R-Right there!"

His hips work faster, one of his hands sliding around her back to keep her right there in his arms. And though it was embarrassing to admit it, he knew that he wasn't going to last too long. "Hinata, come for me." He tilts his head, placing a kiss on her neck that he knows is going to bruise for a week. His…she was his…

Hinata screams in pleasure as he kept going faster and faster. She could feel his arms around her back and that only heightened her desire. "Ah!" Like he wasn't going to let her leave. It was possessive, also incredibly hot. "Fuck!" Her breasts and hair were now bouncing everywhere from the force of his thrusts, but Hinata didn't care.

It was hard to focus on anything else, but how good it felt to be moving as one with him. Everything about him was surrounding her senses. The way he looked up at her with those smoldering dark passion filled eyes. The sounds of his groans of pleasure. The contrast of his rough hands and soft touch. His scent and fuck! She was going to cum soon. She felt like a teenager again.

The beautiful, bouncing sight above him was intoxicating, and the feeling of Hinata's muscles tightening around him was spectacular. Moments later, he could feel pleasure pounding through his veins as his stuttering hips thrust up powerfully into her body. "Hinata!"

"Sasuke!" And that was all she needed. "Sasuke!" Hinata was shoved over the edge and it felt incredible as she came hard and fast. At that moment, she doubted she could remember her own name, but she definitely remembered his.

Everything was kind of hazy, but Sasuke did have enough presence of mind, barely, to slide out of her and cuddle her close to his body, pulling the sheets back over them out of habit. "Mmm…Hinata…?"

End of Lemon

Hinata was more than happy to return the cuddling. "Mhm?" She probably should have said something more profound than that, but her body was still drowning in a sea of pleasure. Profoundness would have to wait.

Despite the pleasure, he still felt…like this was something he had to say. "…I told you once…that you deserve better than…this, dealing with me and my demons, but…" He kisses her softly on the forehead. "I do love you. And that's something that hasn't changed."

She smiles and caresses his cheek as she snuggles closer. "I told you that should be up to me to determine what I deserve and what I don't deserve." The bluenette leans over and kisses his nose. "And I love you too." The Hyuga woman then giggles. "Though your life will be much simpler once you realize that I'm always right and to listen to me in the first place."

Sasuke chuckles, the temptation to just lie in bed all day growing. "Yes Ma'am, I'll be sure to remember that."

"Mmm, that's a very good soldier." She snuggles further into him.

"I do my best." Sighing softly, he runs his fingers through her hair, simply enjoying the feeling of her presence. It was so…peaceful. She just radiated a sense of peace to him, and sometimes, with a hint of adventure.

She smiles. "You succeed." Hinata arches back against him. "I'm going to grow very spoiled at this rate."

For some reason, Sasuke found that highly amusing. "A spoiled princess, whatever shall I do?" Considering her family, it's a wonder she hadn't been spoiled rotten already. Though her father might have had something to do with that.

"Mmm I don't know." She smiles. "I'm sure that my brave knight will figure something out." Hinata pauses.

Perhaps this wasn't the most romantic thing to bring up right now, but still...she probably should. "And I know I probably should have mentioned this earlier, but I didn't expect you to wake me up like THAT." Hinata blushes as she remembers the best wake up call ever. "But...just so you know I'm on the pill at the moment."

As adorable as she knew that any children fathered by Sasuke were undoubtedly going to be, she didn't want her father to kill him. That and Sasuke was still adjusting to being home. Hinata doubted he was ready fro that.

"Then I suppose I won't have to expect Hiashi to come at me with a katana. Good to know." Though it was something of a secondary thought, Sasuke figured that she was probably on the pill, or something of the sort. She did, after all, work in a profession where one could get their hands on things like that with less inconvenience.

Hinata nods as she runs her hand over his bicep slowly. "Mmm. Well at least not yet." She smiles. "Is that something you would want though? Eventually?"

Hm…he hadn't really thought about it much before, since his interest in women had been…fleeting, for the most part, and therefore he didn't engage. Casual hookups were not his thing. Still, he knew that Hinata would like children in the future, and it wasn't that he didn't like them. They could be sweet or annoying, it just depends on the child. Still… "Eventually…maybe…I just…" How to put this tactfully, without traumatizing himself in the process. "I'm still damaged…wounded, and I wouldn't want to hurt them by accident if I had an attack." Fear. He was still afraid of hurting someone innocent. Was it really right to subject a child to that kind of danger?

"It's alright." She kisses his cheek. "I know that your situation is different than most people's. I didn't mean right now." Hinata smiles at him. "Maybe, later. Lets just focus on us for now."

"Yeah…" They could worry about that later. For now, Sasuke just wanted to feel Hinata in his arms. The distant future was just that, distant. The more immediate future was more important. And Sasuke wanted to enjoy himself at least a little before the shitstorm hit.

She smiles. "I love you." Hinata snuggles against him. "Maybe, we should have listened the first time."

"The first time?" Sasuke quirks an eyebrow. What did she mean the first time? "Listened to what?"

She snuggles into him. "To fate." Hinata smiles. "Must have been fate that I got the wrong locker."

Sasuke's expression softens, heart swelling with happiness. "Maybe, or maybe you were just too shy to go up and check to see whose locker was whose instead of gazing from afar." He wiggles down, pressing his head just over her heart. "Doesn't matter, though. I fell I love with those letters, despite my attempts not to. And I'm glad that you're in my arms now."

Hinata smiles. "Mmm well that and you seem to quite like being against my breasts was well." She wraps her arms around him. "Though I suppose that sounds a bit less romantic."

"I must admit, I do like the pillows very much." He cuddles them with a grin. "Soft and warm…just how I like them."

"Mmm well only the finest pillows will do for my favorite patient." She smiles and runs her fingers through his hair as she blushes slightly.

Sasuke hums contentedly, enjoying the warmth and touches. Maybe another nap would be a good idea, after all, he wasn't going to be leaving bed any time soon. Suigetsu would figure out why, and if he didn't get why Sasuke didn't show up today, Kakashi would probably enlighten the idiot. That is, if he wasn't already having his own fun with Karin today.

Hinata yawns cutely and seems to have had a similar idea. She snuggles even more to him and slowly closes her eyes. Drifting off to sleep.

Hours later, Sasuke wakes up to his phone freaking out on the bedside table. And still half asleep, he reaches for it, checking to see the text message. It was a newspaper article. Clicking the link, Sasuke's phone brings up a single headline.

Back From The Dead? Missing Uchiha Spotted In New York City!

He stares at the article for just a few seconds, cursing the picture that showed him leaving Fort Hamilton. Someone must have been looking for a scoop in the area, snapped the picture, hoping to catch a story about the military, and ended up with a photo of him. "Damn it."

Hinata wakes up and hears her lover swearing. "Sasuke, what's wrong?" Why was he swearing? He had seemed rather content after making love and they fell asleep together.

"Itachi texted me…" Sasuke slides her his phone with the article still displayed on it. "They found me."

She winces. "Well it was going to come out eventually." Hinata sighs and kisses his cheek. "We'll get through this."

"We will…I'm just not looking forward to being pushed in front of the cameras." His father may have been fine with it, but he hated having that much focused attention on him. Especially since he could already see that some of the questions were going to be very uncomfortable. "And Kakashi is going to make me wear my uniform…" And not the comfortable one, either. He sighs heavily. "Well, at least you'll get to see it, then."

Hinata nods. "That's right. Look on the bright side." She smiles at him. "And I"ll get to take it off too!"

"That's true." Sasuke smirks at his lover. "You'll probably enjoy seeing me all dressed up." It definitely wasn't something that happened often. And he got more than a few looks from women on those rare occasions that he did.

"Mmm…I'm sure I will." She smiles. "So try not to worry about it too much."

"That's kind of asking the impossible, but I'll try." After all, how could he not be worried? What if he had a panic attack in front of an entire room of reporters, asking all sorts of questions, some of which he couldn't answer, and others that he wouldn't be able to without breaking down.

She shakes her head and sits in his lap on the bed, straddling his lap suggestively. "I'll be right there with you." Hinata kisses him. "I promise." She brushes her lips against his neck. "And if really that worried, I can always distract you."

Now that sounded like fun. "I think I'd like that very much." Sasuke's hands travel up her hips as he smirks at the wondrous sight. "A distraction sounds perfect right about now." After all, they still had the rest of the day together. Kakashi could wait to call until tomorrow.
