Chapter 21: cookies, games, and lover's letters

Neji yawned stretching as the warm sun's rays beat down on his face. Pulling the thin blanket off his upper torso as he did.

He rolled over wrapping an arm around Tenten who lay just in bra and panties they hadnt changed after swimming. " sweetie …" he said to her.

She stired slightly cuddling closer to him. " Baby wake up." She didn't move.

He moved down to her ear. Whispering the warm breath tickled. " Tenten get up…" she shoook her and she moved into him a slight smile on her face. " … before I get physical."

She giggled softly as he said it. holding her eyes tightly closed. She knew the game well after all she had beat him at it last night.

"alright then." He trailed his hand slowly down her curves from her creamy skinned shoulders to the hem of her undies.trying to make her nervous She giggled again and bit her lower lip trying to not be loud or open her eyes.

He pulled on the strap pulling it out from her body and down her leg a little more. He then sat up kissing the curve of her hip where the strap had been above her spot.

She shivered. It was a game like are you nervous yet? …Are you nervous yet? Trying to see how close you get before they give in.

He kissed the soft flesh again this time with his tongue licking the area before sucking on it gently, it felt so good, she thought, her body moved with the motion of his tongue on her body rising with it, a small moan escaped her mouth.

He grinned he loved when he could make her feel that way. " do you give up yet?" in the back of his mind he hoped for a no.

She didn't open her eyes or move, so he continued. Finally he stopped kissing it as a slightly tinted purple mark showed above her pantie line next to a twin of a darker color.

He kissed the small of her neck. She wriggled benith him, as he now layed over top her.

He figured out a way to make her lose after a short trail and error over the past night and this morning, he had hated losing espically to her, he wanted to be the dominant one….

He thrusted into lower half (clothed mind you). "umh." She moaned again, and opened her eyes.

"you lose." He gave a sadistic grin and rolled off. She got to her knees and layed her head on his chest.

"can I try too?" she was smiling.

"no, we should get going, we have to talk with hokage, and you need to be home so you can…."

"pleeeease…" she begged. Trying as hard as she could to copy Kiba's puppy eyes, that worked so well on hinata.

"no Ten, we need to pack up the stuff and get dressed , you should alsoa-." His voice trailed off as he closed his eyes.

Tenten was nibbling on his tender nipple. "mmh" escaped the corners of his mouth. She released. Trailing kisses down his chest, each one she sucked slightly, th ecurve of his muscles seemed better when she was laying on him, at its own height.

"how much can you take?" she giggled. This had become her favorite game aside from monopoly! ( in which she owned!)

he shivered as she stroked his boxers. He had become increasingly hard, he sat up quickly. Using his hands to sheild himself.

"you win again." He quickly rammbled off the words jumping up he went to go get his clothes.

"neji." Tenten said impatiantly. Walking over to him." Come on' Neji I know that's not the best you can do, why did you quit the game?" she followed behind him as he gathered a few things togather. " neji…"

" Ten you won again that's all there is to it." he stopped leaning against a tree he stuck a foot threw the leg hole then the other.

She pushed him harder into the tree, he droped the part of the pants he was holding letting it fall to his ancles as she was face to face with him.

"talk now." She stared deep into his eyes.

"Ten i…can't…"

"then I cant stop playing the game till you tell me…" She kissed he neck harshly, biting down on it. reaching her arms around his she pinned them to the tree using a ribbon that tied her scrolls.

he couldn't walk away from the tree because the pants prevented movment holding his ankles togather.

"say something now…" her words were harsh. He stood quiet, I don't wan to tell her that im nervous about all this, she is engaged to some other man the moment we step threw those doors into the city…

she trailed kisses down neji's chest, he tried desperately to ignore it and think… then if I touch her I am braking rules of the city and can be put to death…even now she can be concidered engaged and me killed…his mind was racing…he knew what she wanted…he knew what he wanted that's why they started the game the night before…

neji tell me now or I will get drastic…" she traced a finger around the elastic band of his boxers.

"Ten stop it." The voice seemed not his own by of a frieghten child.

"Then tell me…"

"I can't." he was finally close to her, could finally be this near her something he had always wanted…and now she wasn't his…she was someone else's and if he did anythign to herit was his fault, he wouldn't want his bride to be touched by another why wouldthis guy want any different

it was like the guys code or something, he just knew if he kept going then it would be wrong…he loved her he truly did that's why he couldn't let her spoil a relationship she might have with this man, over something that maybe wasn't ment to be anything but lust…

"you will tell me why."she reached her hand down, and stroked the base of his member.

"Ten…stop…" he breathed out.

"no." she rubbed its shaft slowly.

He humped forward then realized what he was doing just playing into her hands. " Ten…stop." He demanded.

She ignored it. and continued the pace steady as he becam eeven harder. Deep down he couldn't deny how good it felt, or how he wished she would go faster…

"ahn." He humped into it again. " Ten…" he mumbled. His eyes were now closed and he bit his lower lip as the feeling swarmed his brain.

"Neji-kun please tell me…." She whispered into his ear.

" because it ….wouldn't… be fair to do something with you …. to…. Your ….suitor …. when you two get married…." His breathing was irregular and sketchy.

She removed her hand. " thank you but, I don't want him whoever he is…." She rolled her eyes, then helped neji away form the tree, he shook his head trying to wake up a little more from the feeling.

"if I wanted him I wouldn't still be out here with you." She sighed, " but I guess you just don't want to be with me like that do you?"

" yes I do , but I cant be." He buttoned his pants. " honestly how are we going to stop this from happening?"

"if you cared you would try to find a way…" she snaped back.

He was taking back by her response. " I do care about you, that's why I want to marry you," he threw his hands in the air and moved closer to her. " I love you that's why I asked you to marry me!"

"that's what I wanted to hear." She kissed his cheek, " and ill take care of the suitor, you just be there. She smiled at him, but unknown to her that was going to be more difficult than she thought.

xXx

When they reached hokage's office the spirits were a little low bu tnot quite broken.

"your scroll." Tenten smiled trying a happy face.

" thank god." Tsunade snatched it from her hands and opened it looking at its contints smiling.

"what was it about if you don't mind me asking?" Neji interjected.

"o this." She turned it over so they could see what it said.

On the to in large letter's was printed 'Choclate Chip Cookies the Old Fashioned Recipe'.

Neji and Tenten's jaws dropped.

They both left angry and upset about the stupid scroll being some cooking recipe, its not like tsunade needed it for anything really….

xXx

Tenten turned the key, entering the house,she went up to her room.

Dropping her bag of dirty clothes on the floor she grabbed a fresh towel and headed for the shower.

When she got out Ino and Sakura were sitting on her bed.

" hey guys hold on a second." She grabbed a pair of undies and a bra from her drawer, then went back into the bathroom and put them on.

Walking back out, she began looking for her pyjama shorts and a cami to lounge in while around the house.

"What is that?!"in osaid loudly pionting to the hickies above her underwear line.

Tenten blushed. "nothing." She looked away quickly find the shorts she wanted covered the marks quickly.

"doesn't look like nothing.." Sakura smiled.

"and to me it looks fresh…" the two giggled.

"I got it yesterday no big deal." Tenten shrugged then slipped the shirt over her head.

"no big deal!" ino yelled. " our precious Tenten with one of those," she pointed to her hip. " it's a big deal, a big steamy deal she needs to share!" Sakura nodded.

"it was steamy, " she giggled.

"tell more." The pair leaned in smiles wide.

After maybe two hours of talking ino rembered something.

"we couldn't get you out of the suitor thing Ten." She looked down sad.

"agents failed." Sakura smiled sheepishly.

"I was away on mission to till late last night, then when I got homem fromm hokage there was some delivery so annoying…I think it was for you Ten."

"really from who?"

"I don't know but its really pretty a flower with some note."

Tenten ran down to the kitchen. On the tablesat a pale blue rose bloomed fully it was amazing, so beautiful, it was the rose Neji and her had saved before they left for mission.

She reached down grabbing the card it read….

Ten,

Love, Neji

She smiled to herself holding th enote and flower close she would be there…..she would be there….
