Naruto was standing at his stove, fixing himself some breakfast, when he was interrupted by a knock at his front door. He quickly turned off the burner and wiped his hands before opening the door, surprised to find Hinata with a smiley Boruto strapped to her chest.
He realized he should probably start expecting to be surprised by her.
"Hey," he greeted as his eyes scanned over the several bags she had on the ground surrounding her.
"You said we could stay here."
"Yeah, yeah! Of course!" Naruto shook his head as he opened the door wider to let them both in. "You sure packed a lot," he added with a chuckle as he took a few bags from her hands.
"This is all Boruto's stuff. Don't ask how such a tiny person requires so much shit, because I honestly do not know," Hinata sighed as she walked into his place and glanced around. "It seems like nothing has changed since the last time I was here."
She then sauntered down the hall and into his guest room as if she was very familiar with his apartment. The ease with which she navigated his place seemed to confirm his previous anxieties about her going through his home that time she broke in.
Not that it mattered so much at this point, Naruto supposed.
"I can make you some breakfast if you're hungry," he offered as he set their bags down in the guest room.
"What can you make?" Hinata asked, but her teasing smile implied she had very little faith in his cooking ability.
"Well, I was having eggs and toast," he replied as he scratched the back of his head.
"That sounds good."
"Umm, what does he eat?" Naruto asked as he glanced at Boruto. He really knew next to nothing about babies.
"He can have that, too," Hinata laughed as she walked towards the kitchen and Naruto followed closely behind.
It was late evening when they settled on the couch after an eventful day of play. The tv offered some background noise while Hinata checked her phone and Boruto sat on the floor surrounded by his many colorful toys and stuffed animals. A content smile spread across Naruto's lips. He had really enjoyed spending time with Hinata and Boruto, and he was really looking forward to more days like this.
Hinata had told him several stories about Boruto when he was tiny. Watching her smile as she regaled the adorable things he did made Naruto long to have been there so that he could've shared those memories with her. He just hoped he could make up for lost time.
It was so interesting getting to observe Hinata as a mother. She was so tender and patient with Boruto. It was a side of her he had never seen before. That's not to say she didn't still thoroughly enjoy making him flustered. It seemed as often as she could she'd whisper a lewd comment or touch him just softly enough to tease.
Naruto jolted when he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. When he pulled it out he found his girlfriend's name and photo lighting up the screen.
Blue eyes flickered to a preoccupied Hinata before he stood up and stepped into the hallway. "Hey, Sara, what's up?" he answered softly.
"Hey, I was just calling to check on you. You seemed pretty out of it the other night and I just wanted to make sure you aren't wallowing about your suspension."
"I'm okay. Really!" Naruto assured her. He leaned back against the wall as he glanced at Hinata from the corner of his eye. "Umm, actually I'll be busy for the next couple of days, so don't worry, I'm not wallowing or anything."
"Oh! Busy with what?"
"Uhh…" Naruto hesitated, struggling to find an appropriate excuse. It wasn't like he could say he was doing housework because he'll have nothing to show for it. "...an old friend is in town and I offered to let them stay with me."
His blue gaze unconsciously slid to Hinata again, but instead of being in the living room with Boruto, she was approaching him. His pulse quickened at the devious smirk on her lips.
"I'm sorry, Sara, I have to go." He quickly hung up, fearing Hinata planned to say something loud enough for Sara to hear.
She stood in front of him, silently observing him for a moment. His body tensed as her hands slid up his chest and her mischievous smile widened at the feel of his rapid heart rate.
"I didn't expect you to be the kind to lie to his girlfriend," Hinata teased.
"I didn't lie…"
Not technically.
He just didn't think Sara would understand if he told her that he was hanging out with Hinata — someone she only knew as a criminal — especially since his girlfriend didn't know that Hinata was his… baby mama?
Naruto internally cringed at the term. There really wasn't any word that could define his relationship with Hinata that conveyed the complexities.
"Oh really? I'm just an old friend of yours?" she asked with a raised brow.
"I mean… yeah?" Naruto nervously wet his lips. "We have… uh, some fond memories together."
Hinata laughed at his attempt to justify his little fib. He inhaled a shuddering breath when she stepped even closer, her hands slipped around his neck to play with the hairs at his nape.
"Oh, I certainly have some fond memories with you, daddy," Hinata purred.
Naruto stared down into her half-lidded opal eyes and swallowed nervously at the lust swirling behind her pale depths. He was finding it hard to think straight with her chest pressed against his.
"I want you to stop calling me that," he murmured between clenched teeth. But the strain behind his voice and the effort he put into resisting her only amused Hinata more.
"More lies, huh?" she purred as the corner of her mouth curved up in a devilish smirk. "You're being soo bad tonight."
She leaned in so close her nose brushed against his. His heart beat faster in anticipation each moment she lingered there.
"You make me want to be bad, too," she breathed before pressing her lips to his in a soft chaste kiss.
Fucking hell.
His hardening erection was strained against his pants as Naruto felt the last vestiges of his self-control dwindling. His mind was already foggy, caught in a cloud of desire when his hands landed on her waist.
"WAHHHH!" Boruto suddenly wailed from the living room. It was only a moment before Hinata's warmth disappeared and suddenly he felt like he could breathe again.
An embarrassed Naruto adjusted himself in his pants, wondering if he was more disappointed or thankful that Boruto interrupted them.
"What is all this fussing about?!" Hinata sang in a chipper voice, a surprisingly stark contrast to the sultry whisper she had just been talking to him in. "Uh oh, somebody is looking very sleepy!"
Boruto pouted and rubbed his red-rimmed eyes with his little fists before reaching out to his mother, insisting that she hold him. With a soft smile, Hinata scooped him up and Boruto immediately wrapped his chubby little arms around her neck.
Boruto nuzzled against her as his big blue eyes stared at Naruto, still glossy with (seemingly fake) tears. Hinata exhaled a light laugh, "oh my goodness, are you mad that daddy is stealing all my attention from you?!"
"What?" Naruto gasped. "Don't make him mad at me!"
"Oh my god, I'm kidding," Hinata chuckled as she rubbed Boruto's back in soothing circles. "He's just a little fussy because he's tired."
"If he's tired then why doesn't he just go to sleep?" Naruto asked with a furrowed brow, but the way Hinata snorted a laugh made him think that was a ridiculous thing to say.
"That is a good question, Boruto!" she hummed sarcastically. "Why do you have to scream when you're tired? Why not just go to sleep?"
Hinata chuckled to herself before adding, "I'm going to go put him down for the night."
Naruto watched her slip into the guest room and turn on a white noise machine before shutting the door behind her. She seemed to have a very specific, multi-step process for putting Boruto to sleep, so he would thankfully have a few moments to himself to sort out his thoughts.
He knew he really needed to establish some boundaries with Hinata, but knowing her she'd just interpret them as a challenge anyway.
She has always enjoyed messing with him.
There seemed to be very little that could prevent Hinata from taking what she wanted. Not the law or the threat of prison, and certainly not his job or his relationship status.
He didn't really lie to Sara, but still, a guilty knot tightened in his stomach knowing that he was spending all this time with Hinata despite how she affected him.
Even months before he started dating Sara, Naruto was so sure that his infatuation with Hinata had run its course. It was almost embarrassing how much power she still held over him, how weak he was for her.
Just a few suggestive words breathed against his lips and he was ready to toss his morals out the window just to have her one more time.
Then again he had never been able to resist her.
Naruto was so giddy sorting through his mail, all his letters now addressing him as Deputy Chief Uzumaki. The new title and the new office were all great perks, but what really made him happy was that his efforts were finally being recognized.
He tilted his head, puzzled by an unmarked card among his stack of envelopes. Naruto had received several gifts of congratulations, but everyone always signed them.
He tore open the envelope, finding a plain card with "congrats on the promotion, Detective" written in feminine handwriting he didn't recognize. Blue eyes widened, inside the card was a single photo of a woman.
A naked woman.
Naruto anxiously glanced out his office door making sure no one caught him looking at such a lewd photo. The woman pictured was gorgeous. Silky dark hair and perfect pale skin, not to mention curvy in all the right places. But who the hell would send him something like this?!
His first suspects were his friends from the office, one of them probably sent him the picture just to troll him. They always joked he was "married to the job", maybe they thought it would be funny to remind him real women exist.
God, but did women like this actually exist? Naruto unconsciously wet his lips, unable to tear his gaze from the photo. Her opal eyes were made all the more dramatic by her sultry, smokey eyeshadow. The way her lips were parted and her voluptuous body was posed was so...
"Naruto," Shikamaru said, knocking on the frosted glass of his door as he let himself inside his partner's office. "Are we —"
"Fuck!" he muttered with a startled jump, dropping the photo under his desk.
"Are you okay?" Shikamaru chuckled. "What are you so jumpy for?"
A blush heated his cheeks as his blue eyes glanced down at the photo resting near his feet. "Say, uh, Shikamaru, did you… did you send me a congratulations card for my promotion?" Naruto asked shyly.
"Is this you telling me I should've?"
"No! No! No, sorry! I just… never mind. What did you come in here for?"
Naruto tried to focus on the case Shikamaru gave him, several priceless artworks stolen from the Uchiha Manor, but the picture of that woman he was sent still nagged at the back of his mind.
It only got harder when the pictures kept coming.
Every few days he'd receive one through the mail, always addressed to his office. Always with some vague message like "thinking of you". The pictures varied in pose and outfit, sometimes she wore sexy lingerie, sometimes she wore nothing at all. But it was always the same pale-eyed woman staring seductively into the camera.
He stopped suspecting one of his friends was sending them, because who the hell would spend so much money on sexy photos for him. But if it wasn't one of his friends, then who the hell was sending them? And why?
Naruto ultimately brought the pictures home. He had accumulated a small stack and he was beginning to feel uncomfortable leaving them in his desk drawer, even if it was locked. So maybe he used one of the photos as inspiration when he jerked off, sue him! But the fantasy his mind painted of being with a woman like her turned him on beyond belief.
He attempted to research her, see if his mystery woman was a known adult actress or something. But the photos he was sent couldn't be found anywhere on the internet, almost as if they were taken just for him.
When he got to work the following day, Naruto hated that he was a little excited. If the pattern he identified continued, he would receive another picture in the mail that day.
His stomach fluttered when a bundle of mail was placed in his inbox, the familiar plain envelope visible on top. But before he had a chance to open it, Shikamaru walked into his office with a folder in hand. Naruto tried to mask his disappointment.
"For the Uchiha Manor robbery, we've narrowed it down to five suspects based on our preliminary investigation," he told him.
"Great, let's see them."
One by one Shikamaru laid out the headshots of the suspects on Naruto's desk, but the fifth photo made his jaw hit the floor.
"Her… are you sure?" Naruto asked, pointing to the photo of the familiar dark-haired woman.
His mouth suddenly felt dry and his heart started racing.
"Yeah, that's Hinata Hyuuga. Do you recognize her from somewhere?"
"Uhh, no," Naruto shook his head.
That was the first time he lied to his partner.
The guilt of his lie and the confusion surrounding the entire situation had Naruto stress eating several bowls of ramen at Ichiraku after work that day. He sat in a back booth of the little shop contemplating if he should've shown Shikamaru the lewd photos Hinata Hyuuga sent him, but the truth was he just really didn't want to share her with anyone else.
Was that weird?
He was torn from his thoughts when someone slid into his booth across from him. Naruto nearly choked on his noodles.
Her smile widened as his blue eyes filled with recognition. Without a word of greeting, Hinata slid his bowl across the table and helped herself to a bite. She let out this lewd moan as she slurped down the noodles, and Naruto couldn't help it when his dick twitched in his pants at the sound.
After staring at the pictures she sent, he fantasized about what it might be like to hear such a noise from her pouty lips. "Mmm, this is so good. No wonder it's your favorite."
How the fuck does she know what his favorites are?! Actually, how the fuck did she know he would be here right now?
She pushed the bowl back to him. "Why don't you finish up and then you and I can go somewhere a little more… private."
"Why'd you send me those pictures?" he asked, his voice trying so hard to remain stern.
"Did you like them?" she husked as a smirk tugged at her lips. He stared at her silently waiting for her to answer his question. But Hinata just exhaled a light giggle.
"My, my Detective, you're so serious," Hinata teased. Her pale eyes looked him up and down as she bit her lip. "It's actually kinda sexy."
His cheeks heated under her sultry stare, all the very intimate photos she sent flashed before his mind and the very worst part of himself whispered that he could see her in those very same positions up close and personal.
She was right there and she was very obviously hitting on him. His fists clenched under the table. But she was a known criminal and a suspect in his current investigation, she had to have some ulterior motive.
"Why'd you send me those pictures?" Naruto growled, his growing frustration evident in his tone.
"Fuck, your voice is even hotter than I imagined. Are you this demanding in bed too?" she purred as she leaned over the table giving him a sinful view of her cleavage. The way she gazed at him, her opal eyes half-lidded and swirling with lust, made his breathing grow shallow.
The chime of her cell phone made her break their heated stare. She glanced down at the screen and pouted. "Sorry to cut our date short, but I have to go."
She got up and made her way toward the door, but thankfully Naruto's brain turned on in time to jump up to catch her by the wrist. "Wait, stop!"
Should he try to arrest her? Bring her in for questioning?
But before his mind could decide the proper course of action, Hinata turned around and her hand found his cheek. She crashed her lips to his in a kiss so breathtaking he lost his train of thought.
Naruto instinctively reciprocated, his body had been yearning for her for weeks. Her tongue slipped into his mouth, teasing and aggressive and sinfully delicious. He groaned when she nibbled his bottom lip, growing ever more aroused.
Her phone chimed again and Naruto let out an involuntary, pathetic little whimper when she pulled away.
"Don't worry, baby, you'll see me again," she whispered against his lips before giving him a light peck. She sauntered out of the ramen shop, leaving a stunned Naruto behind.
When he volunteered to hold Boruto in the carrier that conveniently strapped to his chest, Naruto didn't anticipate him swinging his legs and being so very wiggly. Then again Boruto's obvious enthusiasm for all the various fishes at the aquarium was pretty fucking adorable. He happily cooed at the sharks and the stingrays, but he seemed to especially enjoy the luminescent tank filled with jellyfish.
Naruto stood right up to the tank so Boruto could touch the glass as he cheerfully squealed at all the glowing jellyfish floating by. Naruto smiled to himself watching Boruto's happy face in the reflection of the tank.
His blue eyes glanced to the side when he felt Hinata watching them. "What?"
"Oh, nothing," she shrugged, despite the gentle smile on her lips. Her cheeks heated as she confessed, "I'm just happy… to be here with you two."
"I'm happy, too," Naruto smiled as he pulled her against him in a small hug. She latched on to his arm and lingered there, leaning her head against his shoulder. "Thank you for letting me be here."
Hinata softly nodded before guiding them over to the next display. The rest of the afternoon the three of them meandered through the aquarium like the other families. His heart clenched at the thought that they looked like a family, especially with the cozy way Hinata held onto his arm. He probably shouldn't let her hang all over him like she does, but he sometimes got caught up in the appeal of playing house with her.
Hinata's affection had been pretty innocent throughout the day which he was very grateful for. But he was still trying to pretend he didn't let her kiss him last night.
It was really nothing serious. Just a light peck. Just a little kiss between friends. But it seemed not even Naruto believed the lies he tried to tell himself as an uncomfortable weight settled in his gut.
He was being entirely unfair to Sara. Naruto would talk to her over text, but he continued to hide things from her. Each day that passed only made it harder to confess.
But he also knew the longer he waited the more the truth would hurt her feelings.
Naruto decided in that moment he would confront Hinata that night and tell her to stop teasing him.
Hinata slipped out of the guest room after laying Boruto down for bed. He had been especially tired the last few nights with the change in scenery and all the excitement of spending time with Naruto that week. Twisting the doorknob, she ever so quietly closed the door behind her, surprised to find Naruto standing in the hall waiting for her.
"You need to stop trying to seduce me," he blurted.
"Seduce you?" she repeated in a scandalized whisper as she clutched her hands to her chest. "I have no clue what you're talking about, I'm a virgin."
Naruto observed her for a moment, the way she was blinking up at him with those big doe eyes made his heart flutter.
But then he slapped a hand over his mouth trying to contain his giggles as burst into laughter despite himself. A smile spread across her lips as she chuckled along with him.
"What was that moment of intrigue?" Hinata teased. "Do you like role-playing or something?"
"Wh-what?!"
She took a few steps closer. Her fingers softly skated over his chest as she bit her lip in mock bashfulness. "Be gentle with me…" she lowered her voice to a breathy whisper. "It's my first time."
Naruto didn't know why he blushed.
"St-stop," he mumbled weakly.
But when he made no move to push her away, Hinata persisted her little charade and trailed her hand down his abs. She gasped and his entire body stiffened when her palm slid over the erection straining against his pants.
"Oh, my," Hinata breathed as she stared up at him with innocent pale eyes. "Your cock is so big. I don't think it's gonna fit in my tiny virgin pussy. It'll be so tight."
His lips parted as his breath grew shallow just imagining how fucking good it would feel pounding into her tight, wet cunt. The memory of being buried inside her while she moaned his name made his cock twitch.
Naruto was suddenly torn from his fantasy by the sound of Hinata snickering. "You must be one perverted motherfucker for how turned on you are right now," she taunted. "Do you fantasize about fucking virgins or something?"
Heat consumed his face as he grabbed her by the wrist to make her stop stroking him through his pants. "I… uh," Naruto stuttered, trying to regain control of his mind and this situation. "This was what I was talking about. You need to stop."
"I forgot how much I enjoyed our little game," she said as a wicked smile tugged at her lips.
He suddenly flipped their position and a surprised gasp fell from her lips as her back pressed against the wall. "This isn't a game to me," he said sternly, his grip on her wrist unconsciously tightening.
"Mmm, you're talking like you used to," Hinata hummed as she bit her lip. "Fuck, I can feel myself getting wet just thinking about you holding me down and fucking me."
Naruto stared at her, his teeth clenched as he exhaled harsh breaths.
"Here's an idea, since you love role-playing so much," Hinata purred as the fingers of her free hand traced over his tense jaw. "How about you be the very serious detective, and I'll be the alluring art thief that you're completely obsessed with."
"I was never obsessed with you," he bit out, his blue eyes still locked with hers.
Despite his harsh tone, Hinata's smile only grew wider. "Don't kid yourself, Naruto. You're still obsessed with me."
His lips parted to protest but nothing came out. For some reason, his face felt entirely too hot.
Hinata grabbed him by the front of his shirt, pulling him close so her lips ghosted over his ear. His heart was pounding against his chest as he resisted with all his might to not pin her against the wall with his overheated body and rub his aching need against her.
"It's okay, you don't have to be embarrassed," she whispered softly. Her tongue flicked over his earlobe and sent a shiver down his spine. "Because I'm just as obsessed with you."
For a moment, his lips gravitated towards hers, seeking the kiss he seemed to be craving the moment he saw her in The Bureau's headquarters just a week ago.
It was truly a feat that he hadn't given in to her sooner.
But somehow Naruto found the resolve to push off the wall to put some much needed distance between them. "I, uh… I'm gonna go on a walk."
He hastily walked toward the front door, desperate to get some fresh air and clear his head of all the dirty fantasies about Hinata that seemed to constantly be plaguing his mind.
"Don't be out too late now," Hinata snickered as she gave him a little wave.
