Love Never Dies

Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews. I really appreciate all of you who have stuck with this story despite the fact that the updates have lagged more than usual and I'm not entirely sure when they'll go back to their regular pattern, but I will finish this story. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this chapter because I know it's the one a lot of people have been waiting for.

Chapter 35

A few days later, Sasuke sighs in relief as he and Hinata arrive in the Land of Tea. It had taken that long to deal with the aftermath of the battle against Madara and to get there. It didn't matter anymore though. They were finally here.

"I'm sorry that our wedding venue became the sight of a battlefield." He shakes his head as their carriage finally stops. "I promise that that things will get better now. He's gone."

The carriage ride had been Itachi's idea. True, it would have been much faster to ride on Garuda's or Aoda's back, but his brother had been right that carriage rides were more romantic. Hinata had seemed to like it well enough, if her burrowing against him so sweetly during it was any indication.

His wife just laughs and shakes her head. "The wedding was perfect before he showed up and it'll make a fine story to tell our children and grandchildren later."

Sasuke likes the way she said that. Children and grandchildren. Plurals were good. Very good.

"Yes, it was and you're right about that." Sasuke smirks as he gets out of the carriage, before carefully scooping his wife into his arms.

The fact she had to fight at her wedding while pregnant was something that the young Uchiha was still kicking himself for. Now, that it was over though well, Sasuke wasn't going to allow that to happen again.

Hinata giggles as she snuggles against him and the driver chuckles good nature-naturedly. Sasuke didn't particularly care. He had to know they were on their honeymoon and to have been expecting such a display to some degree.

"Even without the wedding attire, one can always tell the newlyweds." He smiles at them. "You said two weeks?"

Sasuke glances down at Hinata and smiles. "Make it three." The bluenette looked far too irresistible for a mere fourteen days to be enough time. "We'll send word to the Leaf that we're extending our honeymoon, so don't worry about that."

The driver shakes his head and shoots them a knowing smile before heading off. Well, that was one thing done. Now, Sasuke just had to get Hinata to that charming little cabin he had rented for just the two of them.

"You ready?" He smiles down at her.

Hinata laughs and nods. "I've been ready for awhile." She smiles up at him. "The scenery was beautiful, but Aoda or Garuda would have been faster."

Oh he knew that. Still, she had liked it and it wouldn't take them long to reach their final destination. So that was all that really mattered in the end.

"Yeah, but Itachi was right." He smiles as he carries Hinata towards the cabin. "We're only going to get one official Honeymoon, we might as well do it the right way."

Scarcely ten minutes later, Sasuke had already given her a thorough tour of the cabin. It wasn't particularly large, but it had a romantic fireplace and a comfortable couch in the living room that she was quite certain they would put to good use later and that was only the beginning.

"The bedroom is glorious and the kitchen is cute." She giggles. "Though that has to be the most elegant bathroom that I've ever seen for a cabin."

Sasuke smirks at her as he lets her eyes travel the length of said bathroom. It was proportionally larger than it should have been and it's elegant ivory white walls and porcelain white tub and shower were spacious to put it mildly.

"Only the best will do for you." Sasuke smiles as he reaches for the sash of her kimono.

Hinata laughs softly as she leans back into him. "The bubbles and roses were a very nice touch too." She wasn't entirely certain how Sasuke had gotten the bath prepared with her noticing, but she suspected he had paid someone in advance to make the place ready for them. It would be such a Sasuke thing to do.

There were even scented candles lighting the room. Mercifully, he had the good sense not to put those too close to the water or the edge of the bathtub though. At least, they wouldn't get knocked over, but the glow of the fire was romantic. Itachi would have been impressed by Sasuke's planning, Hinata thinks with a giggle.

Warning Honeymoon Lemon

"Yes, I thought so too." Sasuke smirks as he presses as soft kiss to the back of her neck.

Her quiet sigh of contentment and slow shimmer out of her wedding kimono were music to his eyes and a feast to his eyes. His wife hadn't bothered wearing anything underneath it.

Hinata smiles as she turns around and begins disrobing him. "Where would you be without me? It seems you can't even undress yourself quickly without my help." Her fingers moved quickly and with an elegant ease that made even the simple action of untying his sash seem erotic.

"Completely lost." Sasuke kicks off his boxers almost as fast as Hinata strips him. "It's a good thing that I have you to undress me."

It didn't take him much longer to get into the water and to assist his wife with joining him One could never too careful when the love of your life was expecting, he muses as he gently pulls her into his lap.

"Mmm good." Hinata smiles between passionate kisses. "Just as long as you know that, I think we'll manage just fine."

Her lips were soft and warm against his own. Prompting him to respond in kind as his hands begin to roam over her elegant back and the seductive curve of her hips.

"Believe me, I know." Sasuke caresses and squeezes her backside. "More than you'll ever know."

There was something almost magical about the way the candlelight flatters her already handsome husband's face and the feeling of the water caressing her body as Sasuke's hands did the same.

The scent of roses and playful sensation of bubbles kissing her skin in the way only bubbles and Sasuke could was enough to make her feel almost dizzy with desire as she leaves a trail of hot kisses along his jaw line and his throat.

"I love you." She smiles as Sasuke's breath immediately hitches at her administrations. "So much." His neck had always been so wonderfully sensitive. Almost as wonderfully as his chest muscles were sculpted, Hinata muses as she glides her hands over the length of said chest.

"I feel the same way." A quiet growl was her only warning before one of Sasuke's hands darts to her breasts and gently squeezes and that's when he takes a nipple into his mouth and Hinata lets out a lewd moan that certainly wasn't befitting of a former Hyuga Heiress.

Sasuke smirks at the moan as he lavishes the rosebud with his tongue and lightly tugs on it with his teeth. She had always been so responsive when he did that, but he suspected her pregnancy only made her even more susceptible to this sensual style of 'attack.'

There was something glorious about the way her pale skin would flush a charming shade of pink and she would arch against him. It was enough to make his blood run hot and the lower half of his body roar to life.

"Good." Hinata laughs softly as she leans over and nips at his ear.

He squirms at the playful feeling of her teeth against his skin, It was only a distraction though. Before he knew what was happening, Hinata had already taken his arousal into her hand was masterfully stroking him.

"Fuck!" A strangled combination of a moan and groan releases from his lips after he releases wonderful breast from his mouth. "That was sneaky."

Hinata giggles at him as she strokes him faster and faster. "Maybe, but you like it." She glances down at his arousal as if to prove her point. "There's really no denying that, especially when the evidence of how much you like it is so hard to overlook."

She was pulling a tiger by its tail and Hinata knew that and yet, she couldn't stop. It was fun to see his reactions. He was now openly gaping at her, but that didn't last long.

His hands were soon stroking the full length of her body. Everywhere he could touch, Sasuke did. Her breasts, her hips, her legs, her backside, and even that secret place between her thighs.

"I can't deny that, but I can't deny you like it either." He covers her mouth with his own as he hungrily devours her in a possessive kiss that had Hinata's head spinning. "I doubt the water is the only reason why you're soaked."

Soft and warm. Everywhere he touched was just so inviting it was driving him half mad with lust.

"It's not." Her voice was little more than a whisper, but he hears it all the same.

She really had no one, but herself to blame as he rubs that paradise between her thighs. Sasuke makes sure to pay extra attention to that hidden jewel as well.

"Ah!" Hinata bites her lower lip in pleasure as she arches against him wantonly.

She lets go of his arousal and wraps her arms around his neck in a desperate bid to urge him on. Rubbing womanhood against him without any sense of shame.

"You're impatient today." Sauske smirks as he kisses her and moves his hand away. "That's alright though. I could never deny you anything."

He didn't waste anytime in proving that either as he buries himself inside her with one swift thrusts that makes them both moan. Gone were the days were they had to be as careful as they once were when she was still an innocent; they were now perfectly in sync with each other.

"G-Good!" Hinata moans as she rocks against him.

It was better than good, but his vocabulary had been greatly reduced by the feeling of being inside his lover. The way she moved in time with him was nothing short of breathtaking.

Faster and faster, they both writhe against one another. Despite to be as close as possible.

"Beautiful." He kisses her as he watches her breasts and rounded belly jiggle with every thrust. "So damn beautiful."

He'd never get enough of her. The way her hair swayed as they danced a timeless dance of love and passion. How she'd cling and moan so sweetly for him and then there were her hips. Those were perfect the way she slid up and down him as if it was truly nothing of her to take all of him into herself.

Hinata was about to say the same to him as she matches his pace. The way his red eyes were watching her with such adoration and lust was enough to make her shiver as she rode him.

The water was everywhere now. Splashing both of them. The bubbles were slowly dying, but still hugged them along with the rose petals. They smelled so sweet, but were no match for Sasuke's natural scent.

"You feel so g-good!" She was screaming now, but Hinata didn't care.

She doubted Sasuke did either was he growls something incoherent at her and claims her faster. Hinata couldn't help, but respond in kind as she sees stars in her eyes.

"Sasuke!" That was the only word on her mind as she reaches her climax.

Her lover wasn't far behind her. "Hinata!" Her name was on his lips just as his has been on hers and she suspected that it would stay that way for all their days.

End of Honeymoon Lemon

The rest of their honeymoon passed by in the blink of an eye. They said that time flies when you were having fun and now, Hinata most assuredly belived it.

"I think that's everything." Sasuke smiles as he caresses her cheek. "Do you think we forgot anything?"

She highly doubted there was a single spot in the cabin they hadn't thoroughly celebrated their Honeymoon on. Sasuke had made sure of that. Not that she minded. Quite the contrary, she had loved it.

She shakes her head and smiles. "No, I think that's everything." She kisses his cheek. "It will be so good to see the others again, but I'm going to miss this place."

A place that was entirely of their own. No one had bothered them for the entire twenty-one days, but they had promised the driver they'd see him in three weeks and a promise was a promise.

"So am I." He shakes his head as he scoops her up into his arms once again. "We should be going though. The driver will be waiting and I don't think we should chance staying out here for too long."

Hinata nods in agreement as Sasuke carries her off. "It's still too early yet, but you're right." She was heavily pregnant and Arashi would likely be making his grand debut soon enough.

After all, their child had used chakra from the womb. Goodness only knew what he'd be capable of, once he was out. Still, Hinata couldn't wait to hold their son in their arms all the same.

"I'm mildly terrified of what he'll be capable of during his Terrible Twos, but I'm sure we'll manage." Sasuke smirks at Hinata as if he had sensed the direction her thoughts were taking.

Hinata nods at him. "If all else fails, we'll have Itachi poke him in the forehead until he settles down or something." That suggestion prompts gales upon gales of laughter from her husband.

He didn't dare argue with her logic though. They both knew it was true. No Uchiha would argue when faced with forehead pokes.
