Prompt 17
"I can't stay away from you"

As soon as Tenten stepped through the threshold, she knew this had been a bad idea. She should not have come here—not after their last encounter. He had been the rudest, most arrogant man she had ever met. So why exactly was she now seeking him out?

"Look who it is." The voice was eloquent, as if the owner had been brought up in high society. But the smirk accompanying the voice was wicked, and Tenten flushed instantly, her toes curling at the sight of it. "I didn't think you would actually turn up."

Tenten glared at him, ignoring how his pearl coloured eyes twinkled in amusement. "I wasn't finished giving you a piece of my mind earlier. You can't just walk off when I'm in the middle of talking to you!"

"Oh?" His eyebrow raised, that insufferable smirk widening as he took a step closer to her. "I thought you had finished talking. It seemed as though you were quite out of breath when I left you."

A blush as dark as crimson covered her face at the memory. "T-that's because you kissed me! I didn't give you permission to do that." Which was why Tenten was here. She needed to scold him for stealing a kiss—lots of kisses, actually. It definitely wasn't because she wanted more of his intoxicating lips on hers.

"I think you quite enjoyed it, going by how you responded." The man was directly in front of her, barely a breath between them. When had he gotten so close?

"I-I did not!" Tenten tried to step away from him, but it seemed he had cornered her. Her back hit the wall behind her and his hands instantly found a place against either side of her head.

"There is no need to hold back. You can be honest with me." His lips grazed her ear as he whispered, before finding that sensitive spot on her neck he had discovered earlier. He sucked on it, enticing a moan from the flustered woman.

Be honest? Tenten hadn't been honest with herself for a very long time now. She wasn't even sure she knew how to be honest anymore, having lived in a world of lies for so long. But she realized, with a sense of clarity she hadn't felt in years, that there was one thing she could be honest about and she wanted to pursue it, no matter where it led her.

"I... I can't seem to stay away from you." Her voice was breathless, barely a whisper, and she didn't think she had ever been this embarrassed before in her life.

The man—she hadn't even learnt his name yet, she realized suddenly—removed himself from her neck and caught her eyes, a grin spreading across his features.

Her flush deepened at his dark expression. "I at least need to know your name first."

"Neji." His voice was sultry, and he stared at her, a predatory glint shining in his eyes. His lips moved back to her ear, nibbling the lobe before whispering, "now tell me, what do you want?"

Her breath hitched, her body stilling. But she wanted this. Wanted it more than she had ever wanted anything in her life. "You."

As if that was what he had been waiting for, Neji snaked his arms around Tenten's waist, pulling her flush against his body. "That can be arranged." He murmured, before he caught her lips in a scorching kiss.

I wanted to try writing Neji as a bad boy. And I kind of really want to expand this story to make it longer now, lol. Please, please, please let me know if you liked this one. I'm not used to writing stories with this much... I want to say smut, even though I know it's not technically smut... but yeah, hopefully you know what I mean.

As always, I hope you enjoyed!
