Naruto hadn't been planning this second surprise for long, it very spur of the moment. Which, coming from him, was pretty impressive.

It was as he was organizing his books back on his bookshelf just a few days earlier, that he found the novel Hinata had been reading sitting neatly by her perch at the kitchen table. They had gotten in the habit of reading together. Or at least, he'd try to get through the ridiculous list Shikamaru and Kakashi had put together, and she'd indulge herself in Naruto's Make-Out Paradise collection. She had gone through them so fast she was already on the last book of the series, which he had noticed she was really taking her time on.

Naruto had laughed when he saw the page she had bookmarked and slyly dogeared in the corner, but then he really read the passages and grew red. His erection throbbed as he thought of Hinata reading and re-reading these pages, thinking of the things he could do to her. He imagined her reading this in her room alone, before him, before them, touching herself, doing all the things she wished he would.

The thought drove him mad. He'd never thought about Hinata pleasuring herself. It made him want to eat her, devour her entirely.

He loved her face when she was writhing under him, her moans slipping out of too-red lips and pleading eyes locking with his as he plunged into her. But it was so much sweeter when it was just him touching her, his mouth upon her core, feeling her climax against his tongue. He nearly came at the thought of her screams the last time he had eaten her out.

The passage he studied diligently replayed over and over, but instead of the characters, he saw himself and Hinata. Her toes curling from pleasure, his scalp burning from how hard she'd pull on his hair as he ate her.

He knew she had enjoyed the times he had done that before, but perhaps never to this extent. Not how it played out in the novel. It made him lightheaded and giddy. How could he not try to impress her on her birthday?

He was starting to understand that his wife-to-be didn't need him to be gentle or understanding in the bedroom. Rather, she wanted someone who would take control. Maybe that was why she had re-read that scene to the point she had it memorized. She was ready to move their relationship forward, enough innocence and lightheartedness. They were past first kisses, and while their first time was not too long ago, he knew that they were both now on the same page. They'd learn what they liked together. What more could they ask for?

The moment Hinata walked through the door, Naruto placed a soft silk scarf around her eyes, "N-Naruto?"

"Shhh," He said, his lips warm upon her ear.

"Why are you covering my-"

He smiled as he gently pushed her forward, her long dress trailing behind her as he guided her to his bed. "As I recall, someone put a bookmark in my copy of Make-Out Tactics last week, and I think she was dropping a hint."

"Eh!?" Hinata said, turning around to face him and almost tripping over her own kimono, "I-I did no such thing! I was just re-reading while you were studying."

"Right, coming from you? I just don't believe that."

"What do you mean coming from me?" She pouted, her lower lip out and her arms crossed in front of her ample chest.

"Hina, don't you remember what you said to me when we were showering together? How you had a fantasy from the Pervy Sage's books?"

"I-I"

"The spine of the book is worn from how often you open it to that page. I'd wager your own copy is underlined and tattered if mine is so well used."

She said nothing, merely squirmed under his touch, clearly uncomfortable.

"I was right...wasn't I?"

"About what?"

"You're pretty kinky," He twirled the loose strand of her on the side of her face before continuing, "Who would have thought the Hyuga heiress was so incredibly," He drew out his breath as he undid her obi with nimble fingers, "...perverted."

"Perverted!?"

"Shhh," He whispered, his fingers lightly racing up and down her arms. She shivered at his touch. "Your body is mine, right? To do with as I please?"

"Y-yes."

"And my body is yours."

"Right."

"So just...let me do this for you."

"Do what?"

"What you keep re-reading, over and over and over," He mumbled, pressing kisses to her collarbones and letting her robes fall around her. Her pale skin almost glimmered in the moonlight, and his knees went weak at the sight of her large breasts in a delicate-looking undergarment.

"You don't have to-"

"Hinata, it's your birthday. I'm spoiling you tonight, you know? Your pleasure is my pleasure."

"But I want to...I want to touch you too."

"That's not in the book, though. In the book, the main character blindfolds his lover and..."

"And?"

He smirked as he looked at her, cheeks flushed and hair askew, the blindfold still tightly wrapped around her, "He devours her, doesn't he?"

"N-Naruto," She breathed out, almost as if she was running out of oxygen.

"Can I? Are you okay with this?"

"You couldn't have asked that before blindfolding me?"

"Well, I didn't want to lose the element of surprise."

She let out a shaky breath and nodded, "I'm okay with this."

He clapped his hands together excitedly, and before Hinata could say another word, he unwrapped her from her kimono like a present on Christmas morning.

"Hang it, please. I still have to wear it."

Naruto sighed, but complied, gently grabbing the extravagant dress and placing it on the hanger she had left on his closet door. As he turned to look at her on his bed, though, he felt himself harden.

There laid the single most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on, nearly naked, upon his bed. Her hair surrounded her like a crown, hips wide and full, the extra weight to her something he so adored. Her breasts were mountains, creating shadows against the wall. The necklace was lost between her cleavage, somehow, the thought of that made him want to weep. Her body was so incredibly exquisite, the kind of woman the Pervy Sage would write novels about. How he had gone without her for so long he just couldn't comprehend. He wanted nothing more than to keep her locked in there to himself forever to make up for the lost time.

"Naruto-Kun?"

"Mmm," He muttered, approaching the bedside, "Just relax, okay. The point of this is for you to not feel self-conscious. I want you to just...lose control."

"I don't think you want me losing control."

He chuckled, "Oh? Why? What would happen?"

Her hands shook as she reached out towards him, attempting to figure out where he was. Naruto climbed upon her and quickly pushed the straps of her bra down. Hinata exhaled loudly as he took one breast in his mouth and freed her chest from the almost too-tight undergarment.

He relished watching her body tense up, turn a shade of pink that was meant only for his eyes. Her hands gathered up the sheets at her sides into knots as he played with her nipples, her small cries making his penis stand erect upon her thigh. But today was not about him, no, his release would come when he heard her screams of pleasure.

He bit at her breasts with his teeth, playfully, not daring to hurt her. Naruto knew how she enjoyed being marked by him, though, and he made sure to leave a reminder of his claim over her as a souvenir of his makeshift surprise.

His breath caught when he felt the cool metal of the necklace against his cheek, another reminder that she was his. While the bruise would eventually fade, his name would be entwined with hers forevermore soon enough.

Hinata's body shook from anticipation, her nipples hard and center dripping. Naruto could practically taste her upon his tongue. She was impatient, her self-control waning, he could feel her reaching for the silk scarf around her eyes and quickly swatted her hand away, "Bad girl, Hina. Keep it on."

Her lower lip trembled, but she said nothing, her hands obediently dropped to her sides once more.

Naruto pulled down her underwear in one fluid motion, spreading her wide and taking in the sight before him. The smell of lust filled the room, it made him dizzy, drunk. The sake he had earlier was nothing in comparison to this.

He knew Hinata had to be thankful for the darkness and blindfold as he exposed her. But if she felt that way, she didn't show it.

"Hinata, there's something that's been on my mind," He said, finger ever so slowly opening her up to him. He knew he was risking her passing out from the question that was about to be asked, but he just couldn't help himself, "Do you touch yourself?"

The kunoichi nearly jumped out of bed, but Naruto pinned her down.

Flustered and completely undone as she wriggled beneath him, Hinata pleaded, "Naruto-kun, please."

"Please what?"

"You're embarrassing me."

He stifled a laugh, "You asked me to show you how I like it, how is this any different?"

She inhaled, her breath ragged as he softly blew on her exposed center.

"You know I pleasure myself thinking about you."

"O-oh."

"Oh? Always playing coy. Do you not play with yourself when you're thinking about what we do in my bed?"

Hinata cried out as he groped her breast, his touch firmer than before.

"Well?" He asked again.

"I-I I do."

Naruto took in a sharp breath, not expecting to get an answer right away. Perhaps the blindfold really was the right way to go. Leave it to Jiraiya-sensei to figure that out and put it in writing.

"You do? When?"

"At night, in bed."

"And do you think about me?"

She nodded, face redder than his family crest. He was worried she was going to pass out if they continued.

"Every time, I think about you. Your hands, your body. H-how you make me...feel."

She didn't need to say anything further, Naruto knew she'd combust if she did. Instead, he rewarded her honesty with his mouth, consuming her like the sweet candy she liked to share with him. His tongue stroked her with long, slow licks, curling at the hard center of her pleasure. She lifted her hips to meet his mouth, her fingers tangled roughly in his hair. It was no longer a matter of embarrassment at this point, she needed him to release the fire within her.

"Oh, god, Naruto," She nearly yelled as she arched against him, his fingers already inside of her. She rode him fiercely, her embarrassment disappearing as pleasure took over entirely. She could feel her eyes roll into the back of her head as he found her sweet spot, the strength of what was building was enough to knock her into a brainless stupor. Her body would be blown to dust when it hit, and if he dared stop at this very moment, she'd probably cry. Hell, she'd probably even kill.

Naruto, sensing this, lifted his head only for a second to say, "Take the scarf off, I want to see your eyes when you come."

She obeyed immediately, never once losing her rhythm.

Darkness became light as she orgasmed, nearly screaming as every muscle became taut. Her eyes locked onto his. She made sure he saw that it was almost too much. Almost. But she could handle it, she lived for it. Without this feeling, she was sure she would die.

There was silence as she found herself lost for words. Her brain wasn't quite working, she wasn't sure how Naruto expected her to slip on her kimono once more and head to the festival.

She exhaled as she realized, "You're still fully clothed."

"Doesn't that make it sexier?"

Hinata rolled her eyes as she unclipped her hair from its half-fallen bun, her long tresses flowed down her bare back as she asked, "You really wanted to do that, Naruto?"

"Me? You're the one who had it bookmarked."

She smirked, melting into his embrace as she laid back upon the bed, "I have many pages bookmarked in that series."

He held her to him, her skin sticking to his cheek as he laid upon her chest, "That's what our honeymoon is for, isn't it."

"We'll have to have an awfully long honeymoon."

He laughed, "But first, we have some responsibilities to take care of, don't we?"

Hinata sighed onto the top of his head, "Do we have to go? It's cold, and your bed is so very warm. Besides, don't you want me to touch you?"

Naruto stiffened, and willed himself to untangle his arms from her embrace, "As tempting as that sounds, and trust me, I know I'll regret this later, but I think it's time for us to go."

"Alright," she sighed sadly.

"I bet I'm an expert at tying obis now," He offered, hopping off of the bed and presenting her with her outfit once more.

"Have you been practicing?"

"I think I got the hang of it."

He watched as she slipped her underwear back on, her voluptuous bottom towards him. He cleared his throat as she adjusted her bra straps, and then, finally, as she slipped on her kimono.

With an unsteady hand, he wrapped the obi around her, telling himself not to drop it from the sheer adrenaline coursing through his body at the moment. Within a few seconds, he had managed to tie it without any issue.

Hinata nodded as she felt him step back and admire his work, the bow was nearly even and it looked much more acceptable than the first time he had offered to help.

"I think I've outdone myself."

She giggled, "You always do."

He felt his own face redden, grimacing at how her offhand comments always got him flustered, "That good?"

Hinata stepped towards him and pressed her lips to his in response. She could taste herself on him, and somehow it just excited her more. How she wished they could stay in the confines of his apartment all night...maybe even all of the next day. She longed for so much more than he could possibly give her in the span of a half-hour.

Naruto groaned, no doubt, feeling the same way she did, "We have to go."

"My hair and makeup look alright?"

He frowned, "You're not going to pin it back up?"

"I should, right?"

"It would look suspicious if you didn't."

She nodded and ran to the mirror, quickly trying to replicate the hairstyle she had spent more than twenty minutes on earlier. She knew the real reason he wanted it up was that he wanted easy access to her neck, but how could she deny him?"

"Alright, I think it looks fine."

He nodded enthusiastically, kissing the top of her head as she walked to the front door.

"You have the tickets, right?"

Naruto chuckled, "Right here," He pulled them out with a flourish and placed them in the palm of her hand, "Better you hang onto them anyway."

She smiled up at him brightly, eyes twinkling and cheeks glowing, "Okay, Naruto-Kun."

His pulse quickened as he thought of everything they just did. It took every grain of strength he could muster to usher her out the door and back onto the snowy street.


"We're going to get an earful from the crew, huh?" Naruto asked laughingly.

"We did take a little longer than expected."

"Oh, well. Nothing we can do now."

"I'm sure the festival just started getting lively anyways."

Naruto wrapped an arm around an already shivering Hinata and asked, "Is Hanabi meeting us?"

"Yes. Konohamaru as well."

"So...those two are seeing each other again?"

"I don't think they ever stopped."

"Ah, young love."

"Hanabi is going to beat you if you keep saying things like that," Hinata warned him, knowing her sister's temper.

"I'm her older brother now, embarrassing her is at the top of my list of responsibilities."

Hinata shook her head, already foreseeing her future husband and little sister engaging in some prank war or stupid bet that would end badly for all involved. Still, though, she knew these were the things he looked forward to the most now.

"Well, finally!"

The couple looked up to see Sakura waving towards them at the entrance of the festival, a giggling Ino next to her dangling off of Sai's shoulder.

"So you two actually made it back?" Ino asked.

"What? We told we forgot-"

Sakura shook her head, a smile playing upon her lips, "Right. You forgot the tickets. Hinata, can you do me a favor?"

"What?"

"Turn around, let me see what a hack job Naruto did retying your obi."

"Hey!" Naruto exclaimed, watching as Ino and Sakura quickly readjusted Hinata's hair and kimono.

"Good as new," Sakura said, playfully brushing Hinata's bangs back and giving her a wink.

Ino continued giggling as she watched a blush grow on Hinata's cheeks. When she had the chance she leaned in and asked, "So, how was it?"

"How was what?"

"You know..."

Naruto raised an eyebrow and quickly asked, "What are you talking about over there?"

"Girl talk! Butt out, Naruto!"

Sai quickly nudged Naruto away, knowing better than to question Ino.

"We didn't-"

"All that time and you two didn't do the deed? What a waste," Ino breathed out, "But you've done it before right? I'm dying to know...how big?" She placed her hands in front of her face, a sizable distance between them.

Sakura merely shook her head, "Ino, come on."

Hinata, though, as flushed as she was, gently grabbed Ino's hand and spaced it out a good amount more. Both Sakura and Ino looked at each other, and then at Hinata in shock.

"EH!?"

The girls collapsed in laughter, immediately causing a rise out of Naruto, "You know they're talking about us, right?" He asked Sai.

"Indeed. It appears you're not dickless after all from what Lady Hinata just told them."

"W-What!? Hinata!"

As Naruto ran over to claim his fiance back from Sakura and Ino, Hanabi and Konohamaru both appeared with sticks of dango in their hands. They had clearly been waiting for the couple's arrival.

Hanabi asked, "What are we laughing about?" in between bites of her treat.

Sai was about to answer when both Hinata and Naruto yelled out, "NO!"

Konohamaru smirked, "We missed something good."

"We always do," Hanabi pouted.

"Never mind that," Hinata said, grabbing both Hanabi and Konohamaru's shoulders and leading them back to the entrance, "Let's have some fun."

"I think you had enough fun tonight," Ino said as she sauntered past them, her eyes looking down at Naruto's waist and then at him. He nearly died at the implication.

"Oh, gross! Of course, that's where you two were," Konohamaru said looking up at Naruto.

Hanabi merely shook her head, "You two really can't keep it in your pants til March?"

Naruto, who at this point was more embarrassed than Hinata, simply relented and turned to look at his bride-to-be. She smiled through her obvious discomfort, making him laugh. He quickly ruffled Konohamaru's hair and firmly told him to mind his business. Meanwhile shooting angry glances at an uncaring Ino.

"Can we go already? We've been waiting to do the fun stuff with you two," Hanabi said, grabbing her sister's hand.

"You waited for us?" Hinata asked, clearly shocked.

"It's your last Rinne Festival as a single woman, of course, I waited for you."

"You make it sound like I'm dying."

"Part of you kind of is, isn't it?"

"That's a morbid way to think about it," Hinata chided.

"I'm not wrong, though. And it's not like it's a bad thing. This part of your life is about to be over, you know?"

Naruto's ears perked up, "Did Hanabi just say 'you know'?"

Hanabi quickly yelled, "No I didn't," immediately realizing her mistake.

Naruto grinned shamelessly, "Seems I'm really rubbing off on you, huh?" He wrapped an arm around Hanabi and Hinata as well, finding himself squished between both Hyuga sisters. Konohamaru, not to be left out, wriggled his way in between Naruto and Hanabi.

"This is going to go straight to his head," Konohamaru warned Hanabi.

She rolled her eyes in response, already making a mental note to drop the phrase Naruto so loved from her vocabulary.

The damage had already been done, though. Naruto was on cloud 9, smiling from ear to ear.

"Okay, kids. What's first on our list?"

Even Konohamaru and Hanabi's bickering couldn't bring him down. He looked at Hinata and saw she had the same expression as him. He winked as he tightened his grip around her, kissing her cheek for added measure.

The chorus of 'ews' and 'please stops' had no effect on him. He was a man in love enjoying the most beautiful time of the year.

It was going to be very difficult to top this year's Rinne Festival in either of their minds.
