Chapter 29
A few days had passed since the announcement. Though Hinata would be lying, if she said she felt completely at ease about the situation, she almost felt as though she could breathe again.
"Sasuke, where is Madara?" Hinata strides into their room. "I know the twins are with father."
Sasuke eyes her with something akin to uncertainty as he offers her some expensive looking champagne. "He's currently in negotiations with the Kages and Daimyos." It would have been rare before the war, but now it was a luxury that was only slowly becoming more and more available to the civilian population.
In the aftermath of the fight, it had been hard to pick up the pieces of what was left and start over. Quite simply, it had been a question of priorities. Luxury champagne just wasn't at the top of anyone's list and thus had gotten shoved to the side.
"That makes sense." Hinata sighs as she takes the drink and smiles. "Thank you, but we both know those aren't really negotiations."
Sasuke snorts at that. He was thinking the same thing that she was and Hinata knew it. Madara didn't negotiate. He merely decided whether or not your requests were executable offenses.
"Yes, we do." Sasuke nods at her as he sits on the bed and gestures for her to join him.
Hinata does so and it was at that moment, that she realizes something was different about the bed. There were red rose petals scattered on them and they were in the shape of a heart.
She bites her lower lip at that. "Sasuke?" It was a sweet gesture and normally, almost any wife would have been thrilled by it. Though mostly she was worried for his safety.
"We've spoken about it." Sasuke caresses his cheek. "He's not entirely happy about it, but in his words…it's your choice whether you wish to be with us only when the three of us are together or also when it's only two of us." He snorts a bit. "The possessive bastard probably mostly agreed because he assumed you'd also respond to his private advances, but he agreed."
Hinata blinks as she tries to digest that. She could be with either of them alone if she wanted and in theory, the bluenette wouldn't have to worry about any jealous rages.
His touch was gentle and his gaze was loving, but cautious. "I'd say that I'm a bit upset that you two decided that was an option without including me in the conversation, but I'm more grateful that I was left out of it." She bites her lower lip once again. It was now her new habit. "I probably would have fainted." She wouldn't have been able to find the words. "If we take advantage of that offer, it wouldn't be a good idea to throw such a thing in his face and I wouldn't do such a thing to you either."
Stating the nature of their relationship to either of them would have been cruel. Not only that, but they were almost inhumanly competitive. She'd never be able to keep up with the two of them, if they didn't kill each other in a fit of jealous rage.
"I wasn't going to." Sasuke shakes his head. "I just wanted you to know that for me, I'm no longer married to you for the sake of survival." He kisses her forehead. "I'm married to you because I love you. I didn't really see you at the Academy, but I see you now."
She smiles at that and kisses him. It was impossible not to when he said words like that.
"I feel the same way." The words were so simple, but to Hinata they meant everything.
With one sentence, the former empress knew that she had just summed up their entire relationship. It was a profound feeling and so was the sensation of his kiss.
Slow at first and gentle. Almost as if Sasuke thought he was going to frighten her, but that quickly changes when she pulls him on top of her.
"Good." Sasuke smiles as he looks at her with a pair of mismatched, but beautiful eyes. "I was a little worried that wasn't the case."
Hinata wasn't sure why, but she laughs as she flips him. "Well, in that case, allow me to reassure you with the Fire Dance."
Sasuke and Madara had always loved that trick and Hinata was getting better at it. Though it was a damn good thing she was a former empress at this rate. Otherwise her wardrobe wouldn't have been able to keep pace with their resumed intimacy.
Sasuke smirks up at her as he trails his hand from her chin down the valley of her breasts. "Only a complete fool would say no to that." She blushes at the action, but Hinata summons the flames all the same.
Warning Lemon
Sasuke stares in awe as the flames envelope his wife's curvaceous form. There was something rather hypnotic about the way that they would burn away the expensive fabric and reveal the creamy white skin underneath.
"I want to try something new." She captures his lips with her own as Sasuke's hands start to roam.
Only her lingerie was visible now, but he liked the red lace. A lot. The way it hugged her bosom was nothing short of exquisite and damn it, that probably made him a deviant. Though he couldn't bring himself to care all that much.
Sasuke smiles as he returns the kiss. "We can try whatever you want." As if he was going to deny her anything when the fire was now working its magic. Her bra the first to go, much to his delight. Now that was a beautiful sight.
He caresses her breasts and takes one nipple into his mouth. Marveling in the way she arches against him and moans his name.
The Fire Dance was magical, Hinata decides. Already she could feel Sasuke's hot mouth wrapped around her breast and it felt so good that a wave of hot lust was already cascading down the entire length of her body.
"Sasuke!" She squirms as she tries to focus enough to banish the flames.
It was hard, but she manages to put them out just as Sasuke's hands went everywhere all at once. Over her breasts, her back, her backside, and now one was sneaking between her thighs. Sasuke was nothing, if not efficient.
"I like it when you say my name that way." He tugs on her breast teasingly with his teeth. "Like I'm the only one you see." Before toying with her clit by brushing his thumb against it.
She moans. It was probably wrong, but there was something exciting about how possessive he could be. "I like it when you touch me." If he kept it up though, she'd never be able to set out on her current quest. "I'll let you do that more later, but for now I want to touch you." She places a soft kiss to his ear.
Sasuke sighs in pleasure. Confusion dances in his eyes, but he nods.
Good. She smiles as she reaches into the nightstand and pulls something out. Chakra cuffs.
"It's always the quiet ones." Sasuke smirks. "I suppose I can't really complain about a naked goddess wanting to have her wicked way with me though."
It was shocking, but he holds out his hands quite willingly for Hinata to cuff him. "Sometimes." She smiles at the unexpected display of complete trust as she kisses him again and grabs a kunai.
It was easy enough to slice off his clothes. Sasuke doesn't flinch. That alone was almost as erotic as the feeling of his skin against his own when Hinata finishes undressing them.
"All the time with you." He smiles at her. "So what did you want to try?"
"I wanted to touch you." Hinata glides her hands over his muscular chest. "All over."
Sasuke shivers at her words and the feeling of her soft hands against his flesh. He certainly wasn't going to argue with that.
The way she was straddling him was nothing short of primal and the evidence of his growing arousal would have been impossible to ignore. Cuffs or not, he finds himself brushing it against her core.
"I want you to touch me too." He kisses her possessively. "Everywhere and then I want you to uncuff me and I want to bend you over this bed." He wanted to hear her scream his name to the Heavens.
Hinata returns his kiss and giggles as before placing several heated kisses along his neck. "That may be negotiable later." They felt too good to protest her newfound sassiness as her hands drift lower and lower.
"Good." He growls in approval.
Perfect. It took only a few seconds for one of her hands to wrap around his now fully erect arousal. A fact that had him groaning faster than Sasuke ever cared to admit as he bucks against her hand.
Hinata couldn't help but laugh at his response as she moves down and takes him onto her mouth. There was something extremely hot about having Sasuke Uchiha tied up and completely at her mercy, especially since he was definitely enjoying it.
"Fuck!" Sasuke half snarls and half groans as she takes more of him into her mouth.
Bobbing her head up and down made it easier and Hinata keeps eye contact. His heated gaze felt hotter than any Amaterasu to her as Hinata laps at the sensitive flesh with her tongue.
"Not quite yet, but we will soon." Hinata blushes at her own boldness as she shyly rubs herself with her hand while continuing to tease him.
It never felt as good as when either of her lovers did it, but Sasuke's gaze was almost as fixated on her hand as her mouth now. It seemed her lover had a voyeuristic streak in him.
"Hinata, take the damn cuffs off. NOW!" The command in his voice made her blood heat, but Hinata shakes her head as she releases him from her mouth with a loud pop.
"Not yet." She moves up and kisses him. "Soon though. Now be a good Uchiha and make love to me." Hinata then smiles at her lover as she positions herself on top of him. "If you don't leave me wanting, I might consider letting you out of those cuffs."
That was a challenge and one that Sasuke certainly wasn't going to shy away from. He buries himself into as soon as those seductive words were uttered, causing them both to groan.
"I'll never leave you wanting." His hands might be bound, but Sasuke would never allow something as simple as chakra cuffs to keep him from with his wife. "Ever." So he kisses her as he indulges in the paradise that was being inside her.
Gone were their first shy and tentative touches. No longer was he worried about hurting her or much of anything at all. His goddess certainly seemed to have little trouble accommodating him as she rode him.
"Nor I you." Hinata returns his kiss with equal passion.
Their tongues were dancing with each other as their bodies did. They fit together perfectly. Sasuke slams into her, eager to feel more of her silky, heated embrace. She was so wet and he loved every second of being connected in this way. He was so close, but tries to hold himself back. He didn't want it to be over just yet.
"Good." He slams into her spot again and again. "I love you." Never before had three words meant everything to him, but it was true. He loved her with every fiber of his being.
Hinata moans as she feels her lover bury himself inside her again and again. "I love you too!" It was hard not to scream, so she didn't bother hiding them. The room was soundproof.
Besides, how could she resist the glorious picture he made underneath her. His eyes were focused only on her and his skin glistened with perspiration from their lovemaking. She could see every muscle move as he claimed her, despite the fact he was restrained. The bed was even having trouble keeping up.
Mostly though, she just wanted more. Every thrust makes her soar ever higher as the two of them match each other's pace.
"Sasuke!" She couldn't hold back much longer.
"This is only the beginning." A simple promise was enough to send her straight into euphoria as her husband joins her. "We have all day to enjoy each other."
End of Lemon
One round sensual exploration led to another. By the time they were done, Hinata notices that the Sun was already beginning to set.
"You kept your promise." Hinata smiles at him. "I'm really glad that I let you out of those chakra cuffs."
The cuffs were designed to prevent someone from using their chakra. Regular handcuffs were unlikely to work on either of her husbands. So she had had to get creative.
He smirks at that. "Me too." If she wasn't so wonderfully exhausted, Hinata probably would have taken him up on the promise hidden in that smirk. As it was though, it would be a miracle if she managed to wake before noon tomorrow.
"It seems to be working so far." She rests her head on his shoulder. "Do you think it will stay that way?"
Sasuke's brows furrow at that and Hinata almost regrets asking the question. Everything was going so perfectly. Why did she have to ruin it by bringing reality back into their bedchambers.
"I think as long as you're willing to do the occasional Fire Dance, he'll be just as distracted by that as I am." Sasuke rolls his eyes.
Those two would never get along, Hinata sighs. They were far too much alike in some ways.
"Probably." She didn't know what to say.
She loved them both. Hinata knew that she shouldn't, but it was true. As much as Madara terrified her sometimes, she still couldn't imagine the world without him and the same was true for Sasuke.
"Get some sleep." He kisses her. "Madara will be back soon."
She returns it and idly muses it was a good thing they were already in their nightclothes. As much as she loved each of them, Hinata knew that their jealousy was a dangerous force. A fire that she didn't want to get burned by.
"I know." She decides to change the subject. "I wonder what our younger selves would have thought, if we told them any of this was going to happen."
Sasuke tilts his head at that question as if he was seriously considering it. "I wouldn't have believed it." That was fair. "I had no idea who Madara was, but the idea of that one person could conqueror the entire world and that we would both be married to the same woman would be unfathomable to me."
She couldn't blame him for that. Hinata never would have thought it either.
"Almost as unfathomable as the idea that I would end up married to you." Hinata smiles at him. "You seemed so unreachable at times." That and in what seemed like in another life entirely, she had once loved Naruto.
Sasuke shrugs at that. "I only had one thought on my mind and I was unreachable back then." He smirks at her. "Though I'm very glad that you can reach me now, especially when you do the Fire Dance."
"Me too." Hinata giggles.
She was also glad about that. Whoever had come up with that little move had been a genius.
