Tenten was practically sick with worry for the rest of the week. Neji had done his best to get her to relax in Little space, and a lot of the time it worked and she hadn't stressed over the upcoming meeting, but the anxiety would always return sooner or later.

When she woke up on Tuesday morning, her heart was already hammering in her chest. What if, despite all of Neji's assurances, things didn't go well today? What if this dragged on for weeks, or even months? She couldn't be without work for that long.

Trying not to wake Neji where he slept beside her, she started shuffling to the side of the bed. But his arm around her waist tightened, and he pulled her back into his warm, bare chest. A flush rose to her cheeks despite the concerns swirling in her mind. They had played these past few days, but they hadn't yet gone all the way. She wasn't sure if he was waiting for something or what, but if there was such a thing as a woman having blue balls, she had it. Orgasms were great and all, but she was desperate to have his cock inside her—especially after going down on him the day before. That saying about men being hung like a horse? Yeah, she understood it now, and it was both titillating and a little bit scary, if she were being honest with herself.

"Where are you going, baby?" came Neji's rough, sleep-laden voice against her neck.

"Bathroom," she replied quickly. It wasn't a fib, but it wasn't the whole truth. She just wanted to get some air, to try and calm the anxiety coursing through her without worrying Neji. She didn't want him to think she doubted his abilities because that wasn't it at all. But Tenten had grown up learning firsthand that things never happened easily. Not for her. And she had to ready herself for a long fight in this instance as well.

Of course, even in his sleepy state, Neji knew something was wrong. How he always knew, she had no idea. It was like he had a sixth sense when it came to her feelings and emotions, and she was finding it practically impossible to hide anything from him.

He turned her so she faced him, and she watched as he took in her features. "Come here, baby girl," he said in a soft, cajoling voice and she immediately curled against his chest, taking comfort in his arms as they encircled her. He kissed the top of her head. "Everything is going to be fine today, Tenten. I promise you."

"I know," she mumbled. "I trust you, Neji."

"Good. But I would be more inclined to believe you if you relaxed a little."

She peeled her cheek away from his chest to look up at him, admitting, "I don't think I can."

"I think I can help with that." His tone was playful, and he pressed her into the mattress, his body moving over hers. Leaning in, his mouth took hers in a deep kiss. She eagerly returned it, winding her arms around his neck and pulling him even closer.

She loved kissing Neji. She never knew exactly what she was going to get with him—sometimes his kisses would be slow and leisurely, other times they would leave her breathless and wet, and yet other times she swore she could taste love on his lips as he kissed her as sweet as could be.

This morning he drank her in with slow, drugging kisses, despite her attempts to speed things up. He pulled away, clucking his tongue disapprovingly, yet his eyes were sparkling. It was moments like this one that Tenten realized how little she had really known Neji before living with him. He had always been bossy when she saw him around the gym. And knowing he was a lawyer, she had imagined him to be a stuffy bore. But she couldn't have been further from the truth.

Neji was still bossy—unbelievably so—but he was also incredibly sweet and kind. Even playful at times, especially when she was in Little space. And she loved every side of him.

With a sudden jolt, Tenten realized that she loved him. Was that even possible after their short time together? She'd been living with Neji for just over a week now. Surely, that was too soon for these sorts of emotions? And yet, Tenten had little doubt in her mind that she was in love with the dominant, insufferable man.

"Have I lost you, baby girl?" Neji asked, leaning back to stare down at her with darkened eyes.

Tenten bit her lip with a shake of her head. She didn't think it was smart to tell him yet. At least, not before their meeting. What if he didn't feel the same? What if he'd just been bored all this time and he was using her as a way to pass time? That didn't sound like Neji, but Tenten couldn't help worrying.

"Tenten? Baby, are you okay?" His gaze was turning more concerned.

She tried for a smile, hoping it looked authentic. "Yeah, I'm okay. Just nervous for today."

Neji's stare turned hard, and Tenten swore he knew that she was holding back on him. But instead of pressing her, he leaned in again and took her lips, drinking her in. She melted under him, suddenly wondering if this was the day she would finally get all of Neji.

But then he pulled back, causing her to moan indignantly. "More," she whispered, her voice husky with desire.

"We need to get ready, baby girl," Neji replied, though his voice was just as hoarse. "The meeting starts at ten."

"We have plenty of time, then. Please, Daddy. I need you."

His gaze was assessing, speculative. "You sure, baby? I do not want to rush you."

"You're not rushing me. If anything, you're going too slow. I'm dying, Neji."

He chuckled, grazing her lips with his. "Is my baby girl desperate for Daddy? Do you need Daddy's cock, Tenten?"

She almost moaned at his words. "Yes. Yes. Please, Daddy. I need you. I need your cock."

"Well then." Neji took his time kissing her, his tongue delving into her mouth to play with hers. Her hips arched up to meet his, needing to feel his erection pressed into her. She was desperate, but he didn't let her have her way. He kept things slow, though he did rock his pelvis against hers, causing her to gasp and writhe at the feel of his cock against her clit.

They still had clothes on and Tenten wanted them off. Now. She wanted Neji inside her, wanted her inner walls squeezing his cock. She wanted his hands on her breasts, her hands exploring the expanse of his chest and back.

"Daddy, please!" she cried out, desperately needing him.

"Alright, my baby. I have you." Neji eased off and she murmured her displeasure, but he only went so far to pull his boxers off, then her shorts and panties. "I'm going to make you feel so good, darling girl."

.

Neji's fingers glided down her body, feeling her readiness. His touch met her wet slit and she groaned as his digits glided over her slick folds before focusing on her needy clit.

"Yes, Daddy. Yes!"

He pumped two fingers inside her, groaning at her tight inner walls. She was going to squeeze his cock. He was desperate to feel her around him, to feel her sheath squeezing his cock as he pumped into her.

With almost fumbling fingers, Neji ripped open a condom and rolled it onto his length, then lined up against her entrance.

"You ready, baby girl?" he asked, already knowing the answer. She was slick and wet, and he couldn't wait to slide into her.

Her answer was a gasped, "Yes!" and he slid inside, his eyes rolling to the back of his head at the feel of her walls squeezing his cock. She tensed for only a moment before relaxing again, and he pushed himself further, until he was planted to the hilt.

"Shit, baby girl, you feel so good," Neji moaned, holding still while he let her adjust to his size.

Her hips canted into his, and she replied in an amused voice, teasing, "Language, Daddy."

Neji chuckled and leaned forward, rubbing his nose against hers. "Brat," he breathed.

After that, no words were needed. Neji continued to push into her, faster and harder. He clenched his teeth, fighting back his impending orgasm. There was no way he would finish before her.

"Come with me, baby," he demanded, reaching down to circle her clit.

His baby girl groaned at the contact, her hips pumping into his involuntarily. "More," she moaned a moment before he took her mouth. He kissed her deeply, hot and hard. He needed her. Every breath, every moan. Every moment she lived, he wanted.

She shuddered underneath him, her orgasm spiking, and he continued his assault on her sensitive bud. Her walls fluttered around his cock and he fell over the edge with her, her pussy milking his seed as she sucked him in.

Neji collapsed onto her, keeping his weight off her as much as he could. She didn't seem annoyed though—quite the opposite actually. Tenten moaned low in her throat, throwing her arms and legs around him to hold him close when he tried to rise off her.

"Stay," she whispered, her eyes already closing with a yawn.

"I am not going anywhere, sweet girl," he replied with a chuckle. "I just do not want to crush you with my weight."

He lifted off her before drawing her into his arms. After some time, he left the bed and grabbed a cloth, running it under warm water before taking it back to her and laying it over her mound. Tenten moaned softly but otherwise didn't move. He lay beside her again, drawing her close and kissing the top of her head with a soft sigh.

Before they could fall asleep, Neji said, "We need to get ready to leave soon, Poppet."

He chuckled when she pouted but managed to pull himself up before helping her to her feet. They showered together, with Neji making sure he didn't fall into her again before he helped her dress for the day. It took real effort, since all he wanted to do was take her back to bed and spend the day exploring her beautiful body.

Soon. After dealing with the bastard that was trying to hurt her. Neji was ready to ruin him.

.

They sat at a small café a couple of blocks away from where the meeting was held. Tenten still couldn't believe the outcome. Out of everything she had been imagining, this had not been one of them.

Their food arrived and they dug in, eating in silence. It had been quiet between the two of them since leaving the meeting, except for when Neji asked what she wanted to eat. Tenten was busy going over the meeting again and again in her head, and she was grateful that Neji was giving her this time.

"Is this really real, Neji?" she finally asked, when they were halfway through their meals. "Did that all just happen?"

Neji's smile was part smug, part amused. "Yes, Tenten, it really happened."

She shook her head in disbelief. "I still can't believe it. Why didn't you tell me that was your action plan?"

"I gave you the information you needed, but I wanted to surprise you with the rest," he replied with a shrug.

"Well, you succeeded. God, I wish I could have taken a photo of that dickhead's face when you told him what for."

"Language, Tenten," Neji chided, but he was smiling. She returned the grin, feeling light. Happy.

She had been nervous going into the meeting, having to see that man again. But she was a tough bitch, and with Neji by her side, she'd felt invincible. Neji hadn't wasted time with pleasantries, and when her ex-client had given her a smug look, Neji had ordered him not to look at her again. Which made Tenten feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

It took less than an hour before they came to an agreement. Neji had been busy talking to Yagusa's work colleagues, especially the women. He had multiple women who gave statements about his sexual harassment that the company covered up. Neji demanded compensation on behalf of Tenten—a thousand dollars for every day she was suspended from work. Yagusa had balked at the amount, but Neji wasn't budging. The bastard was rich; this was chump change for him. Neji also made him agree to never go back to that gym again, or else they would be filing a restraining order against him.

It had been a thrill to watch Neji work. He was cold, ruthless, and didn't give the other lawyer an inch. Tenten had thought Yagusa would refute everything, but he was resigned since Neji had leverage over him with the sexual harassment statements.

"What would you like for dinner tonight, baby girl?" Neji asked, breaking her out of her musings. "I think this calls for celebration."

"I can have anything?" she asked with excitement.

"Anything you want. Today is your day, Tenten."

Ooh, anything? Tenten didn't usually pig out on junk food, but she was thinking tonight she could splurge. "Can we have waffles?"

His eyebrow rose in surprise. "Waffles? Really?"

"What? You said I could have anything."

Neji chuckled, shaking his head. "Waffles it is, baby girl."

"Yay!" She grinned at him, then sobered, her smile turning soft. "That was a really nice thing you did, Neji. Back there, at the meeting."

Neji looked a little uncomfortable with the praise. "Those women deserve justice, Tenten. Now that I know what that man did to them, I will not let it slide."

"You're a good man, Neji." Reaching over, she took his hands in hers. It was on the tip of her tongue to tell him. To say she loved him. But she held back, an unknown fear keeping her tongue tied. "You're really going to go against the company?"

"Of course." He spoke so matter-of-factly, like going against a million-dollar company was a piece of cake. "They covered up the fact that women are getting sexually assaulted. What if it was by more than just Yagusa? The company could be hiding other employees' indiscretions."

"Won't it be difficult? They could have a whole slew of lawyers on their side."

"When something is important, it does not matter how tough it may be. It is worth fighting for."

And there went her heart, falling for him a little bit more.

"Are you ready to head to the gym, baby? We should talk to your boss before heading home so he can get your roster organised for work."

"Sounds good." She was happy to go back to work, but she secretly hoped she wouldn't have to start straight away. She was so used to spending the majority of her time with Neji, and the thought of not seeing him for long periods of time throughout the day made her sad. She wasn't yet ready for their little bubble of happiness to burst.


Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe. Thanks for reading. Only two more chapters to go. :)
