Chapter 7: The unexpected side of passion not even destiny saw coming.
(Slight Lime content)
The Next morning Neji awoke to Tenten's sleeping body resting peacefully atop him. It took him a few minutes to figure out what happened last night. Then he remembered all three rounds of last night's bedroom fun.
He instantly jumped up shocked. He couldn't believe he had slept with her, the last woman he would ever want to mate with. "What the hell?" He tried to slowly push her off of him without waking her.
He slipped out of bed after escaping out from under Tenten, put on some boxers, pants, and left the room for the courtyard porch where he sat all morning thinking. "How could I do that with her? I wasn't even drunk. But everything I remember….it's like I was. Damn it! If she even starts to think I care about her she's got another thing coming to her. Wait! If she wakes up and can't remember that it was me in the bed last night then maybe I can get Hiashi to divorce us. There's one thing Hiashi can't stand, an un-loyal wife." Neji smirked at that thought. Things appeared to be going in his favor and he liked it.
Tenten slowly awoke, blinking slightly before looking for Neji-sama. But as soon as she moved she felt a stab of pain between her legs. She looked down to see dried blood all over her thighs and the bed covers. Apparently, Neji had been extremely rough on her last night.
She got up and walked into the bathroom next to the drape covered window that provided the only bit of light into the room. (Thankfully the drapes were thick enough so that nobody could see through them, but still allowing just a bit of navy-grey light into the room.)
As she sat down in the shower floor with the warm water running she tried to ease her pain and wash off all of the sweat and blood from three rounds of sex. "Well, there isn't much chance that I'm not pregnant now. My fertility was at its highest today and yesterday. Huh, I guess I'll find out if it worked in about fourteen to nineteen days." She placed her hand down on her stomach and thought about herself as a mother, the dim light made it so much easier to fall into a peaceful daze.
She was interrupted from her day dreaming when Neji unknowingly walked in on her.
"Oh my god Neji!" She quickly pulled a towel over herself. "Neji, w-what are you doing?" Neji closed his eyes and muttered "Sorry I didn't know you were in here." Then he opened his eyes and looked at her hoping to get his way and the divorce he desired."Tenten, what happened last night?" His eyes looked at her with a demanding look.
Tenten thought for a few moments before answering "Umm, Neji I'm sorry I don't know how it happened but…." Neji smirked on the inside. "Yes, she's a loss for explanation." Then Tenten looked deep into his eyes. "When I looked at you I just, well I fell for you." She lied obviously, but Neji, having not known any of this, dropped his smirk almost instantly. Then Tenten looked down with a depressed look as she thought about what she had done, and then the thought of motherhood entered her mind. Finally it all got to her.
"Neji, I'm so sorry. I really am sorry." As tears dropped down her eyes she felt regret for everything she had done. Becoming Neji's fiancé when he clearly didn't like her, tricking him into sleeping with her, possibly having a baby just to help her friend but using him in the process, and all of the lies she told to get this far. And now her heart was beginning to wonder if it was all worth it even though her mind knew it was.
Her eyes were red and full of tears, and then she wrapped her arms around Neji's neck and hugged him. "Neji,….I really am sorry…it's all my fault….please forgive me…Neji please I'm so sorry."
Neji was stunned as Tenten's tears fell down his shoulder. "What the heck? Dame she does remember last night…but… then she must really regret sleeping with me but why?" Then his eyes widened. "Last night must have been an accident and now she's afraid she's pregnant and that I…. that I wouldn't want to even see my own child. Damn, dose she really think I'm that harsh? Well it doesn't matter now. She's blaming herself and it's my own damn fault.""Tenten its okay. Everything's okay." He looked her in the eyes and stroked her hair trying to calm her.
Maybe it was her tears that touched his cold heart, maybe it was the depressing lighting or maybe it was his own thoughts that got to him. Who knows, but what was about to happen, happened.
Without warning, Neji leaned in and kissed her on the lips. The thing was not even Neji himself realized or even believed what he was doing. But one thing was clear, that was the most passionate, heart pounding, caring kiss either of them had ever experienced
