Naruto sat at his desk, typing away at the keyboard while he tediously caught up with his tasks that he neglected to do earlier in the week. It was a slow work day, so he utilized the opportunity rather than just clocking out and going home early again. Once he finished doing as much as he could before the feeling of procrastination took over, Naruto closed his laptop and stretched back in his chair. His joints popped and he could swear he felt himself getting five years older. He then thought about Sasuke. They had been texting on and off since yesterday. He was still visiting his parents' place. The blonde wondered if he should get him something when he returns. Something special. All kinds of dark and kinky thoughts were playing in the blonde's mind but he shook himself clear of them. That's what Sasuke would be expecting after all. Maybe he could get something normal, and then surprise him? He tried to think.

'Bzzt!' His cell phone vibrated and a reminder notice popped up. It was time to clock out. Well maybe he could get an idea on the way home. The blonde stood to his feet and began packing up all of his things. Just then, he heard the soft clicking of high heels coming up behind him. Before he could turn to look, a hand was gently placed atop his shoulder.

"Excuse me, Naruto?"

Wait. He recognized that voice. The man spun around with wide blue eyes. "Sakura?!" Then he quickly corrected himself. "I mean, Ms. Haruno? What are you doing here?"

A soft smile spread across her lips. She seemed to be humored at his reaction. "I'm very sorry to come to you out of the blue like this. But do you have a moment?"

"Uh, y-yes!" He turned to quickly shuffle some things around.

"Oh, I'm perfectly fine with standing. This won't take long." She closed the office door behind her and walked in further. Then, her entire demeanor seemed to change. "How long have you and Sasuke been seeing each other?"

"Er… wh-what?" Sweat was quickly beginning to form on Naruto's body, but he did his best to try and remain calm. "There must be some kind of mistake, Ms. Haruno. We aren't-"

"I knew you would try to lie." She said, crossing her arms. "While I may not have any physical proof, I am not completely clueless. I was suspicious of you from the moment we met at the hotel. Sasuke never meets someone like that randomly. So I figured that it must have been for something quite intimate."

Damn. He was cornered. "...I'm sorry, but I should be going now. It's time for me to-"

"Don't."

And Naruto quickly stiffened up. The woman only said one word yet it felt like everything that left her mouth was absolute. He was trapped with no escape. He inhaled and then exhaled, looking off to the side to try and avoid her gaze. "...he didn't tell you?"

"He usually doesn't." She shrugged.

"I see." Naruto cleared his throat. "Am… Am I in trouble?" He reluctantly asked. "Because I swear, the first thing I asked before any of this happened was if you two were a thing. You know, because I wasn't going to try and step all over that. I'm not that kind of guy. I wouldn't try homewrecking someone's life! That's not how I was raised! And wow I just made this whole thing about me didn't I? Am I fired? I'm probably fired."

"...heh." Sakura brought a hand to her lips and tried to stifle a laugh. He was already panicking and she hadn't even gotten to the real reason she was here in the first place. "Well to be honest, after what I just heard him say to his parents, you might be in trouble."

Naruto's eyes widened. "What? Oh shit, his parents found out about us? Oh fuck, how screwed am I? Is his uncle going to come for me? I'm not scared of the guy, but I'm not above putting my hands on him if he tries something!"

"Pfft!" Sakura snorted. "No. Luckily, Madara doesn't know anything. However..." Her face filled with worry. "Listen, I promised that I wouldn't say anything. But its not fair to leave you in the dark while he goes along like nothing happened."

"Huh?" Naruto tilted his head, trying to follow where she was getting at. "Sak- Ms. Haruno, can you please explain?"

"Sakura is fine." She nodded. "Anyway, I'll start from the beginning. I recently signed an overseas contract to start auditioning and taking roles in the United States. It hasn't come out to the public yet, but it will soon."

"Really? Wow! That's amazing, Sakura!" The blonde smiled, genuinely happy and impressed.

"Thank you~" She grinned. "But that's where things get rough. Sasuke's parents found out about it before I could relay the information to Sasuke himself. One of my agents accidentally let it slip when they spoke to them." She brought a hand to her face and sighed. "They see me as family, so I couldn't really get mad at my agent for being reckless. But nonetheless, it made things a disaster. When they asked if I had told Sasuke the news, I told them no because we hadn't discussed anything yet. And then Sasuke's dad asked me if I planned on staying together with him. I told him no obviously. Because it wouldn't work out." She looked at Naruto. "Even if our relationship weren't fake, you could still see how it'd cause problems with being long distance."

"I see. So then, you had to kind of break things off with him?"

"Basically, yes. Right in front of his parents." She sighed. "I mean, it wasn't a huge deal or anything. We'd been doing this for a while and I always had plans of taking my career outside of Japan. But this is where things get messy." She brought a finger up and continued to explain. "You see, Fugaku wasn't exactly thrilled about the news. For my sake, he was happy. But he grilled into Sasuke and berated him for allowing me to slip away so to speak. Those weren't his exact words, but you could tell that he was quite pissed."

"Oh man." Naruto rubbed the back of his head. "I bet he was. From what Sasuke's told me, he's a bit of a pester when it comes to his marital status."

"Exactly."

Naruto couldn't help but pity Sasuke a little bit. 'He's definitely not going to be in a good mood when he comes home.'

"So." Sakura paused, catching Naruto's attention again before she said the next sentence. "His mom asks him if he's been seeing anyone." She looks at Naruto.

Naruto swallows. "Wait. He didn't."

Sakura made an awkward expression and nodded. "Yeeeah. He did. He said that he'd secretly been seeing you for quite some time. And that you were the perfect role-model, well-sculpted, rich, influential, law practicing boyfriend with zero negative reputation and a military background."

"..." Naruto just stayed quiet for a few seconds. When he finally let all of that sink in, he spoke. "I'm what."

"Yeah, I had the same thought." Sakura groaned. "And that's why I came here. Again, I swore not to say anything, but I just don't want you to feel like you're being taken advantage of. I mean, I get that he can't really use me as an excuse anymore, but that doesn't give him the right to volunteer you without your consent!" She frowned.

Naruto again took a moment to process this information. "Sakura, are you sure you're an actual person?"

"Huh?"

"I mean, celebrities take advantage of people all the time and don't really care about people's feelings. So I'm asking if you're a person or if you're just fucking with me. Excuse my language."

Sakura shook her head. "I wouldn't have come all the way here just to meet you if I didn't care! Besides, Sasuke is my best friend! I want what's best for him, but I also don't think he should just do as he pleases!"

"...you're a great friend."

Sakura blushed a bit and smiled. "Thank you."

"So let me get this straight: You and Sasuke are done pretending to be a couple. You're going across the fucking planet for job purposes. And Sasuke is going to use me as your replacement so to speak, all because he told his parents some grand bullshit about how perfect and unremarkable I am so that he can maintain a perfect image?" Naruto wasn't sure if he should feel upset or complimented.

"Pretty much. Which I find interesting because you're not usually the type that Sasuke goes for. I honestly have no clue what's going on in that head of his." She huffed.

"Really? He said I was his type the other night…" Naruto muttered.

"Well I mean, you definitely match the kind of physique he's into. But your overall appearance and personality... ahh there's a word for it..."

"Attractive?" Naruto smirked.

"Himbo."

"What?"

"Yeah, you're definitely a himbo."

"..." Naruto chose not to take offense to that because to some degree, Sakura was probably right. He sighed. "I only got to know a few more things about Sasuke the other night, and that was only because our last, er, session was a mess and I took him on a date to make up for it. Had I known that this would happen, I would have left him in his office longer." He pouted, folding his arms.

"You took him on a date?" Sakura asked, as if she were completely dumbfounded. "Wow. You must be good."

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing!" Sakura went back to smiling. "It's just that Sasuke's kind of hard to handle. And even harder to impress."

'Hard to handle, or hard to please?' Naruto asked in his mind. "I get it. Thanks for telling me all of this." Naruto then put a hand under his chin in thought and muttered to himself. "So he said all of that..." Then he shook his head and faced Sakura again. "I don't really want to make Sasuke unhappy and say no and risk getting him into trouble with his parents. I mean, he probably has a reason for lying like this and using me as a front. But also, I don't know if I can handle it. I'm definitely not the kind of person someone would see as cool or suave or anything." He exhaled, dejected. "What should I do?"

"That's up to you." She said. "I only came here to tell you what's going on, because I doubt Sasuke is going to anytime soon. He has a great way of avoiding things until he literally can't anymore. Which is what got him in this mess." She rolled her eyes. "But with that being said, that gives you time to think about what you'd like to do going forward. I never meddle in Sasuke's affairs. But this is something I felt that I couldn't ignore."

"I understand. Thanks, Sakura." Naruto bowed. "Hey, maybe I can buy you coffee sometime?" He winked. He might as well shoot his shot, just in case this whole thing with Sasuke doesn't work out, right?

Sakura stomped on his foot. "You've got some nerve!"

"Ow! You could have said no." He whimpered, holding the abused foot up and limping.

"Besides, I've also been dating someone behind the scenes, too."

"Really? Is he cute?" He smirked.

Sakura's eyebrow twitched. "I should stomp your other foot, too! For good measure!" She angled towards the blonde and he cowered away with a nervous grin.

Just then, there was a loud commotion in the department. People seemed to be chattering and there was yelling. Naruto and Sakura noticed this and after glancing at each other, decided to go and see what was going on. They stepped out of the office.

"Where is he?!" A man dressed sharply in a white suit was aggressively yanking Zet by the collar of his shirt. "Stop dodging my questions and answer me!"

Zet just groaned. "Once again, I do not have that information, sir. Now, would you like some coffee or would you like to leave?" There was ice in his words. He clearly had no intention of dealing with the other man's bullshit.

"Orochimaru!" Anko walked out, frowning at the man holding Zet hostage. "Let him go! What the hell do you want, anyway?!"

"Hmph!" Orochimaru shoved Zet away and faced her. "I want to know where Sasuke is."

"Well obviously, he isn't here!" She snapped, crossing her arms. "So you can take your attitude and foul mouthed face elsewhere!"

"...what did you just say to me, bitch?" He hissed. His yellow eyes were glaring sharp daggers at the woman. Everyone was silent, not wanting to get involved. "You know, saying something like that could easily get you fired. Should I make an example out of you?"

"Do whatever you want!"

"Oh? Well then." Orochimaru glanced around the room. "You all heard her, right? As my witnesses, you wouldn't dare question what happens next after this, correct?" Again, there was only silence in the room. The man smiled.

Naruto didn't like this. He had to step in. Just as he was about to tell the man to cease, to his surprise, it was Sakura that spoke up instead.

"That's enough!" Sakura approached the man, unintimidated by him and frowned. "You've already gotten your answer, Orochimaru. Sasuke isn't here!"

"Oh! Well if it isn't Sasuke's little crown jewel!" He grinned. "I'm surprised you aren't latched to his arm. Otherwise, you would know where he was, wouldn't you? But I guess that's what happens when you let a dog off its leash."

Every single word that left this man's mouth was vile. Naruto didn't know how anyone could stand for it. He wanted to say something, but as Sakura wasn't backing down, he waited to see where this would lead.

"Orochimaru, I don't care what you call me or how you feel regarding me. But you will give Sasuke and everyone in this company respect! You aren't the boss here. You don't manage a damn thing and you're nothing more than a sleazeball trying to slither his way into places he doesn't belong. So I suggest you find your legs and walk right back out that door!"

"Excuse me!?" He clenched his teeth. "This company wouldn't even be here if it were not for me! You, Sasuke, everyone in this company owes me and should be respecting me!" He bellowed. "I won't stand for this level of disrespect! I can have all of you fired with the snap of my finger! So don't-"

"Excuse me." Naruto approached the man.

"Hmm? And just who are you?!"

"I'm a new employee here. I apologize for the treatment you received. Unfortunately, Sasuke is not here at the moment as he is handling personal matters outside of the company. If you'd like, I can try and get in contact with him so that he can return your concerns. I am the company's new process server, so you can rest assured that your words and any statements you wish to make will be going to the correct parties."

Everyone's eyes went wide; a few people began to mutter.

Anko stomped her foot. "Naruto, what are you-"

Naruto held his hand up, demanding her silence. "If you want to write down any reports, we can do so now or later when it's a better time."

Orochimaru seemed to stare momentarily at the blonde, studying him and his features. The way Naruto carried himself and spoke must have been enough, because Orochimaru found himself impressed. "I see~" He grinned. "Well, young man. You are certainly more useful than any of the rats currently present here. I will definitely be wanting to voice my concerns and getting in touch with Sasuke as soon as possible. Can I have your name?"

"Naruto Uzumaki." He bowed. He then took out a business card and handed it to him. "If you dial that extension and ask for me by name, I would be more than happy to assist you."

"Hmm~" Orochimaru's entire demeanor seemed to change, as if he were walking on air right now. "I will definitely be doing so. Thank you, young man." His words seemed to be filled with absolute joy. "All of you could stand to learn something from this man! How could you let yourselves be shown up by a rookie? No wonder this company lacks proper management and tact!" And with that, the man turned on his heel and got back onto the elevator. His yellow eyes glanced at Naruto, one last smile creeping along his lips before the door closed.

Naruto then finally sighed and unstiffened himself. His heart was pounding. He seriously did not expect that to work. Truthfully, he wanted to punch the guy. Feeling eyes all around him, Naruto then nervously glanced at everyone in the room. "Uh… d-don't worry, guys! I'm not gonna turn you in or anything!" He tried to explain. "I mean uh… you can all keep doing your jobs! I promise it will be okay!"

More silence. Naruto was starting to feel as if he just did something seriously, dangerously wrong. But then Anko smiled at him. "Wow, way to go rookie! You actually got that snake to skedaddle!"

'Did she really just say skedaddle?' Naruto cleared his throat. "Well, it just seemed like he wasn't going to leave unless he felt like he won. So…"

"Haha! That was some quick and clever thinking!" Anko then turned her attention back to the room. "Alright, everyone! The show's over! Get back to work! Wait actually… it's time to go home isn't it? So finish what you need to do and have a great day!"

Everyone followed Anko's words and went back to their tasks. Naruto could hear them muttering about what just happened. They were probably seriously worried about losing their jobs. Great. Now how was Naruto going to explain this whole thing to Sasuke when he came back? Obviously, he had no intentions of actually listening or going through with any complaints Orochimaru made, but he still ended up making more work for himself. The blonde sighed. Just as he turned around, he flinched upon remembering that Sakura was still there.

The woman's mint green eyes were staring at the blonde. She seemed to be trying to process what she just saw. "...wow. It almost feels like you've done something like that before."

"Well, in my law classes, we sometimes did these scenarios where we had debates and de-escalated situations that might happen in the courtroom or during interrogations. I just used my knowledge of that and put it into practice." He shrugged. "Sometimes you just have to make the aggressor feel like the victim, even if they're entirely in the wrong. It not only calms them down, but gets them to open up about what they actually want."

"Oh, I get it." She replied, straightening out the bottom of her dress. "Well now I'm even more impressed. I guess Sasuke was right. You really are well-versed and more authentic than you look."

"I seriously can't tell if you're complimenting me or not."

She giggled. "Anyway, I should be going."

"Right. You've probably got auditions and stuff like that to do."

"Actually I still have more legal paperwork and planning to do regarding the contract. But I'd love to chat with you again sometime~"

"Really? Do you have any social media I can follow or message you on?" Naruto wasn't about to ask for her phone number. He doubted that she'd be that trusting of him, and even if she were, Ino would never leave him alone again if he got it.

"Yeah! I have a private Facebook page under an alternate name. I'll send you a friend request." She took out her cellphone. "Uzumaki, right?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"Sent!" She smiled. "Oh and one more thing..." Sakura reached into her red handbag and dug through an inside pocket before taking out a card. "Here."

"Hm?" Naruto took the card in his hand and looked it over. It was a glittery black and in big, bold white letters were the words 'Thunder Ground'.

"That's an official membership card to my dance studio!" She chimed.

"Oh! Neat name. I'll check it out sometime!"

"You should! It's where Sasuke likes to practice his choreography!"

"Really? Huh. But wait, why would you give me this though?"

"In case you ever want to chat or need me, you know where to find me." She winked.

"Ahh, I get it. Thanks, Sakura!" In other words, it was a form of trust from the actress. Naruto definitely couldn't tell Ino about this.

Sakura zipped her bag closed again and then turned on her heel. "Well, it was nice talking to you, Naruto. Have a good day, and let me know how things go." She said before heading for the elevator.

"Yeah, I will!" He started waving her goodbye. Then he suddenly remembered something. "Oh! Sakura, wait!" Naruto stepped in between the elevator doors so that they wouldn't close.

The girl blinked. "Huh?"

"Before you go... I was wondering what to get Sasuke when he comes back." He cleared his throat. "You know, like a gift or treat or something. Anything that you think he might like."

"Well that's easy." Sakura held up a finger. "Get him something sweet!"

"What? Something sweet?" He repeated, lifting a brow. "You mean like cake?"

"Yep! Sasuke loves sweet foods! He doesn't get to eat them much because of his diet."

"Alright, got it! Thanks!" He stepped backwards, finally allowing the girl to leave.

When the elevator doors closed, Naruto let out a long, hard breath. What the hell seriously just happened and why was he so good at dealing with it? He didn't even know where to start with everything that had just been dropped in his lap. He needed to get home. A work out and a few hours playing video games should help before he was ready to tackle any of this. But just before he could swipe his badge on that sweet, sweet clock, Zet and Su approached him.

"What do you guys want? I'm done for the day and I'm going home."

"Well, I just wanted to say thank you." Zet answered. "But if you're in that much of a hurry-"

"Yes I would like to thank you as well." Su bowed. "My brother can be a bit of a handful, and isn't the best with his temper."

"Obviously. But you guys don't need to thank me. I can't stand that Orochimaru guy either. And I don't know why Sasuke doesn't just get rid of him."

"He works for the family. I believe it was Madara who hired him." Su explained.

"Ah, so they're partners. That's even worse somehow." Naruto moved past them to go back to his office.

They followed behind the blonde. "And by the way, Naruto. Did you happen to finish writing that inquiry regarding the issue with one of the clients from last week?"

"Yeah. I'm pretty sure I did. Didn't you both get the confirmation email with the inquiry attached?"

Zet and Su looked at each other, then back at Naruto. "No. We need a hard copy."

"Oh. Well give me a minute and I can print it out for you."

"The printers aren't working properly I'm afraid. They are having network errors. You will have to write it by hand."

"...what?"

"We need them now as today was the deadline to respond to the client. Even if it's late, if you can finish within the next two hours, it will be fine."

"And you waited until now to tell me this?!" It was too late in the day to go elsewhere to try and get a printed copy; Naruto didn't even have a printer at his apartment. "And why can't I just email it? A hard fucking copy. Who's idea was this?!"

The twins looked at Naruto and answered in unison. "Sasuke."

'...motherfucker!'

"Do make sure your handwriting is legible." Su smiled. "You can leave the copy on our desk once you're done."

Naruto forced a smile. "Yes. Of course." He answered through his teeth, eyebrow twitching. After the twins bowed and left, Naruto slammed his fist on the desk. "Goddamn it!"

And his shift continued for another long, grueling thirty minutes before he went home. When he got into his car, he checked his phone. Someone had sent him a friend request on Facebook. He lifted a brow at the name. 'Who the hell is Cherry Sweet?' Wait, they had sent him a message, too.

"Hey this is Sakura!"
Cherry Sweet - Message Received 5:15 pm

Oh. Of course that's who it was. Naruto was tired. He accepted her friend request.

"Cherry Sweet? Seriously?"

Naruto - Message Sent 6:02 pm

The conversation ended. Once Naruto got home, he greeted Ino as per usual and then headed for his bedroom. He undressed and dropped his briefcase on the floor with an exasperated sigh. He still had the information of Sasuke weighing on his mind. He still wasn't sure how he wanted to come to terms with it. He contemplated confronting Sasuke tomorrow as soon as he came back home, but that might not be a good idea. He would probably just dismiss it unless he brought Sakura up. But then Naruto couldn't do that either as Sakura already said that it was supposed to be a secret to begin with.

'Hmm...' He could always leave the situation alone and Sasuke could just tell him when he was ready? Or maybe the whole thing was a coverup or something, who knows. Naruto's head was going to hurt the more he tried to wrap his mind around it. He wanted to be a little upset, but at the same time, he felt like he understood why Sasuke lied. He's always pressured into being perfect. The only problem is, was he serious about it? Would he really use Naruto as a front or a stand-in for Sakura? Somehow, Naruto liked that less than the current relationship they had now. The blonde was interested in getting to know Sasuke more as a person rather than an asset. The more Naruto thought about it, the more he realized he didn't like it. Yet, he didn't know what he could say or do about it. For the moment, Naruto just chose to sweep this under the rug. When the time was right, he'd question Sasuke on it and decide if it was something he was comfortable with then. With that done in his mind, he was finally able to put his thoughts on the matter aside. Now he could just focus on what he was going to do to Sasuke tomorrow.

~:: ღ ::~

Heavy rain poured on the streets as spring began to settle in. The forecast predicted torrential storms throughout the week. Just what Sasuke needed to add to his already gloomy mood as he sighed, staring out the tinted windows of the car. He watched buildings pass by and water splash along the sidewalk as Kiba took him to his condo. To say that he was relieved to be back home from his family's estate was an understatement. But it wasn't as if he were thrilled about it either. As being back in Shinjuku meant continuing to do work, but at least he didn't need to deal with his parents for the time being. He could just come home and relax.

After pulling into the underpass of the condo, Kiba opened the car door for Sasuke to step out. "Do you need me to escort you upstairs, sir?"

"No. Thank you." He said, stretching his arms. "I've got it from here as I've no other plans. Enjoy your day and be safe in the rain."

"I will." Kiba nodded.

The bodyguard got back into the vehicle and slowly drove away. Taking his suitcase in hand, Sasuke walked into the building and got onto the elevator up to his condo floor. He rubbed the bottom of his jaw and yawned. He checked the time on his cell phone; it was just past the afternoon. Once the elevator came to a stop and the doors opened, he took out his keys. At last. He was home.

"Hello, Sasuke." Naruto greeted.

Sasuke was surprised and paused in his steps with a light flinch when he saw Naruto waiting for him by the door. "Naruto?" He questioned, taking another, hesitant step toward the man.

Naruto's expression then changed as he faced the male. "You know what to do."

Sasuke immediately dropped everything he was holding and fell to his knees. He said nor did anything else as he watched Naruto approach him. When a hand reached out to caress the side of his face, Sasuke contently exhaled. "Hello, sir." He greeted.

Naruto frowned. "You didn't call me like you were supposed to, so I waited for you here. Was a pain, you know?"

"I'm sorry, sir."

"Follow me on all fours. I've got something for you." Naruto said, picking up Sasuke's keys and suitcase and heading back for the door. He also picked up a large, paper bag that he had brought with him. He said nothing regarding it, leaving Sasuke curious about it's contents. Once Naruto unlocked the door, he waited for Sasuke to follow him inside. Then he closed the door.

"Strip."

Not having to be told twice, Sasuke began to undress, not moving from his spot on the floor as he tossed the garments aside. Once he was fully nude, he looked to Naruto for further instructions. He watched as the blonde sat on the sofa in the living room and then crooked a finger at him. Silently obeying the gesture, Sasuke crawled towards him and then situated himself between Naruto's legs. He looked up at him and tried to hide the excitement his body was quickly conjuring up as he shivered a little. The sudden lack of power he felt as the blonde towered over him was enough to arouse him on its own. He anxiously wondered what Naruto would do next as his eyes momentarily drifted to the paper bag.

"First of all, welcome back." Naruto stated, patting the CEO atop his head like a dog. He then grinned as he brought his hand back and reached into the bag; he took out a box of pink colored mochi. "Sakura told me that you liked sweets. So I got you this." After saying that, Naruto also pulled out a pair of silver handcuffs from the bag. "Hands." He waited for Sasuke to present his wrists before cuffing them together. Then he leaned back up and took the mochi in hand. "I'm going to feed this to you. And I want you to eat every bite. Understand?"

"Yes, sir." That was it? He was just going to feed him? Sasuke did enjoy the idea of foodplay, but kinky feeding was... wait was that even a thing? There must be a catch to this. He watched as the blonde opened the packaging of the mochi. He could smell the sweet aroma. It was sakura-mochi. There were four pieces and each one was wrapped in a tender tree leaf. Just from the texture alone, Sasuke could see that it was authentic.

Naruto held the first piece out to him. "Open."

Sasuke opened his mouth. At first he thought that Naruto was going to allow him to take a bite, but to his surprise the blonde shoved the whole piece into his mouth all at once.

"Chew it."

Sasuke began to chew. No, Sasuke tried to chew. It was a fairly small piece, but the mochi spread and stretched inside his mouth each time he bit down, further expanding its mass. He tried to focus, chewing one small part at a time and then swallowing each piece as best he could.

"Is it good?" When all Sasuke did was nod, Naruto asked the question again but in a sharper tone. "Is it good, Sasuke?"

Struggling to chew, Sasuke swallowed more of the dessert and gasped out. "Yes, sir. It's good."

"I'm glad to hear. Now eat this one." Once again the blonde shoved another piece of the mochi into Sasuke's mouth. He grinned as he watched him struggle to chew it all. He watched as Sasuke's jaws got to work, cheeks bulging a little bit from the dessert's mass. Without warning, Naruto roughly grabbed Sasuke's chin, and forced him to take another piece.

Sasuke gagged, not ready for nor expecting another piece so soon. His eyes began to water as the stretchy sweet slid into the back of his throat. He choked a bit, looking down at the floor.

"Don't spit it out. You aren't finished." Naruto lifted Sasuke's head. "Come on, I want to see you enjoying it."

Sasuke then noticed the look Naruto was giving him. The blonde had an amused and heated expression; the right part of his lip was upturned into a smirk while his blue eyes focused on all of Sasuke's facial features and gagging sounds as he struggled to eat the mochi. He was completely turned on by this! Sasuke could already see a bulge forming in his pants. He wasn't sure why though. What about this was so arousing to the blonde? Sasuke didn't hate this, but it was quite uncomfortable. Still, he knew that all he'd need to do was spit it out and say the safe word if he struggled anymore. But something about this was fascinating Sasuke as he continued to chew and swallow.

"Last piece." Before Sasuke could finally manage to clear proper space in his mouth, Naruto pried his mouth open with his thumb and thrust in the final mochi cake.

"N-ngh!" This time Sasuke gagged hard and he felt himself starting to wretch.

"Oh no, Sasuke. If you throw that up, I'll be really upset." Naruto warned.

Without the use of his hands, Sasuke couldn't hold the mochi in any other way besides through sheer will. He wretched again and gagged, but managed to not throw any of it up. Some of the mochi had started to melt and was sliding into the back of his throat. He instinctively swallowed, causing a much larger piece to go down his esophagus. His eyes widened as he choked, but managed to keep it down. Thankfully, because of his gagging fit, his mouth was now thick with saliva and he could manage to start chewing the rest of the mochi easily. His cheeks were full and he moved his tongue around, trying his best to spread the mochi thin and melt it in his mouth. It took some time, but he was finally able to eat it all. "Hah..." He exhaled as drool dripped from his pink lips.

Naruto grabbed Sasuke's jaw and angled his face upward. "Fuck that was hot." He whispered. "Seeing you struggle like that and running out of breath..."

"I-it was delicious, sir. Thank you."

"Come here." Naruto jerked Sasuke up, then pushed him down onto his back on the couch. He got fully undressed and looked at the CEO with a dangerous, lascivious glare. "I'm gonna fuck your throat." He stated, getting on top of Sasuke and straddling him up to his shoulders. Then he slapped his cock on his face. The blonde didn't need to say another word when Sasuke obediently opened his mouth, tongue sticking out as his face lit up in anticipation. Naruto grabbed a fistful of his hair and held the base of his cock as he pushed it into his throat. Naruto couldn't resist letting out a low, delightful moan; Sasuke's mouth always felt fucking great. Once he was fully seated in his throat, he stayed there for a few seconds, and then jerked Sasuke's head forward by his hair.

Sasuke made a gagging sound at the sudden action. His throat squeezed around the blonde's cock as he was forced to take him in, unable to move. Then Naruto began to thrust, rough and quick. There was no warning as his dick slid in and out of his mouth. Sasuke used his tongue to press against the underside, and each time the glans of Naruto's cock passed between the roof of his mouth and tongue, he swore he made the blonde fucking tremble. The inside of his cheeks hollowed as he tried to maintain a strong suction, wanting Naruto to have the most amount of pleasure possible. Sasuke's own cock stiffened and rose higher between his legs, aroused at the actions. He wanted to try and meet Naruto's rough thrusts with his mouth, but the blonde was still keeping him held by his hair. He started moaning around his cock instead and looked up at the blonde, silently begging for more.

"Oh, fuck!" Naruto hissed as he threw his head back, continuing to snap his hips forward. He kept his hand on the back of Sasuke's head, face-fucking him harder and harder into the couch. "Yeah, keep using your tongue~" He moaned. He felt the male move his tongue around more per request, attacking his sensitive glans and urethra each chance he got. "Now take it all in!" Naruto stood on his knees and then leaned forward, making his cock sink deep into Sasuke's throat. He smothered him under his bodyweight, keeping his head pushed into his abdomen as he forced the man to swallow him down to his balls.

"Mhh!" Sasuke held his breath as his throat bulged from the forceful intrusion. He tried not to choke as he relied on his gag reflex. This was the deepest anyone had gone into his throat so he had to convince his body to not lurch. Luckily, Naruto only stayed like that for a short time before he pulled out, allowing Sasuke to breathe. He coughed roughly as tears flowed from his eyes. But it was short-lived as Naruto grabbed his jaw and thrust back inside.

"That's enough air for you~" Naruto mocked. "Matter of fact..." The blonde wrapped his hands around Sasuke's slender neck. Then he started fucking his mouth again as he squeezed his throat.

"Ngh!" Sasuke's eyes widened as he felt the blonde's cock ruthlessly assault his throat while simultaneously restricting his airway. He moaned and swallowed around him; his cheeks began to heat up. He could feel the male deliberately pushing down on the bulge in his throat to add more pressure. Sasuke squirmed a bit, eyes glossing over as the blonde kept going. Then he gagged when Naruto thrust in hard and then pulled out. Sasuke turned his head to the side, gasping for air as blood rushed to his face. "F-fuck..." He wheezed.

"Safeword?" Naruto asked.

When he was able to regain his composure, the CEO looked at the blonde. "Fox."

"Alright, come here." Naruto picked up Sasuke and moved him to the floor. He positioned him upside-down, with his lower half against the edge of the sofa for balance. "I hope you prepared like I told you to. Because I'm about to make you unable to walk tomorrow!" He then grabbed hold of his dick and began to push it inside of Sasuke's ass.

Sasuke's cuffed hands were still situated behind his back, unable to stop nor deny Naruto's actions as he balanced himself on his shoulders. "A-ahh~" Sasuke couldn't stop the needy moan that sounded from him. He had been waiting for this moment for weeks. He'd missed the feeling of having the blonde's big cock in him and resisted the urge to cum right then and there. He did prepare himself beforehand, although his ass had tightened back up a little bit during the long wait and drive back, but that was just fine. He tried to relax as Naruto sunk deep into his body. Then Naruto grabbed his thighs for leverage and started pounding into him from above. Sasuke's breath hitched. "Fuck!" He screamed as a sharp flash of white flickered behind his eyes. "More!"

Naruto grinned and gave the male what he wanted. He pile-drived into him, pushing Sasuke's knees down to the floor. Each thrust made an audible smack that echoed in the room. Sasuke's dick bobbed between his legs, leaking precum and turning a nice shade of red at the tip as he got more and more aroused. But Naruto ignored it, wanting Sasuke to stay focused on his ass being wrecked. Then, Naruto leaned down and wrapped his hands around Sasuke's neck once more.

"Yes, choke me again!" Sasuke begged. Naruto squeezed his throat, and Sasuke delighted in having his breath restricted once more. He could feel the blonde's thumbs digging into the sides of his neck. Along with that, Naruto's thrusts didn't stop; they almost became painful with each harsh snap and hit to his prostate. It was enough to make Sasuke cum dry twice. His body shivered and his eyes rolled upward; he felt his sanity starting to leave him. "H-harder, daddy! Choke me harder!" He begged, using the moniker Naruto insisted upon the other day in an attempt to spur him on.

"Fuck, Sasuke." Naruto growled. He squeezed the male's throat with more force, making thick veins pop up in his hands. "Look at your fucking face." Clicking noises started to leave Sasuke's mouth rather than moans. Tears rolled down his reddened cheeks; more snot and drool poured from his nose and spilled at the corners of his lips. His mouth opened wider, as his tongue stuck out a bit above his teeth. It was the visual definition of getting fucked and wrecked. The blonde's thrusts somehow became even more relentless as he chased after pleasure.

"You're nothing but a rich, little whore." Naruto commented. "I don't give a fuck how nice you look, how well you present yourself, you'll always be my fucking whore to do as I please with." He then struck Sasuke's right cheek with the palm of his hand.

When Sasuke felt the impact of the slap across his face, the next thing he knew, he was cumming. Hard. Strands of cum splashed across his chest and face as his dick haphazardly bobbed from all the stimulus. Naruto finally released the pressure from his throat and Sasuke was in euphoric heaven and hell all at the same time while lying limp on the floor as he struggled to reclaim his stolen breath. 'Holy shit... I can't...' He couldn't even form a sentence in his head; there was no way to describe how fucking great he felt in that moment. He was only vaguely aware that the blonde was still fucking him up until his vision turned blurry and eventually dark as Naruto faded from his sight.

"Shit! I'm cumming-" Naruto finally stopped his animalistic thrusts as he came inside Sasuke, whose orgasm had squeezed him so deliciously tight. His eyes closed and teeth clenched together, relishing in the sensation of his cock twitching and filling Sasuke ass with cum. He caught himself on the floor, hands splayed on either side of Sasuke's head and stayed propped up so that he wouldn't have his body weight on the male until he managed to catch his breath. However, by the time he looked at Sasuke again, the CEO had passed out. He pulled out of the male and a thin string of semen dissipated between them. His asshole was gaping, hot, and full. Naruto admired his work for a few seconds before picking Sasuke up and carrying him to the bathroom.

When Sasuke finally came to, his eyes slowly blinked open. There was a dim light in the room, and a warmth encapsulating his body. Wait, what happened? He stared at the bedroom door across the room, and swallowed thickly, before wincing a bit at the slight sting in his throat. There was an arm draped around him, and soft breathing against his nape. Did he fall asleep? When? He could smell soap on his skin. He had been bathed. 'Oh that's right. Naruto and I...' He slowly sat up, ignoring his aching joints and lower back. He could tell that if he tried to speak, his voice would be quite hoarse. He may need to call off work tomorrow. He looked over to his right; Naruto was sleeping beside him. Wait, what time was it? He glanced at the clock on the wall. It was 10pm. So he'd been asleep for a few hours at least. He brought his legs to the side of the bed, and gave himself a moment before finally standing to his feet to go use the bathroom. His legs felt like jello and his back was screaming at him. After relieving himself, he limped back out into the bedroom and returned to the bed.

"Hey. How are you feeling?" Naruto asked quietly.

"Good." He said, and looked at the blonde. One blue eye was peeking open at him and a smile was creasing Naruto's lips. "What?"

"Heheh. Nothin'~" He was grinning like a dork. "You really enjoyed yourself. Even while I was giving you a bath, you were in and out of consciousness calling my name."

Sasuke blushed. "Was not! I would remember if I did something like that." He muttered. Then he sighed. "So you gave me a bath."

"Yeah." Naruto said, sitting up and propping his face on his hand. "As sexy as you looked covered in jizz and drool, I couldn't just leave you like that, yeah? Gave you a little massage, too. So that way you wouldn't feel too bad when you got out of bed. I hope that was ok."

Hearing all of that, Sasuke looked off to the side. "You didn't have to do all of that." He said hoarsely, clearing his throat.

"Doesn't matter. Wanted to." Naruto said, moving a strand of black hair from the CEO's face.

Sasuke sighed and leaned into his touch. "You're too much sometimes." He laid back down on the bed and stared at the blonde. "...what am I going to do with you?"

"What do you mean?"

Sasuke shook his head. "Nothing." He pulled the covers back over himself.

"Is it ok if I hold you?"

"Yeah."

Naruto wrapped his arms around Sasuke, embracing him once more in that familiar warmth. "You were really sexy."

"Quiet, idiot. Or are you trying to get me worked up again." He huffed. He breathed in the same fragrance of soap that was also present on Naruto's skin. He nuzzled into his chest a bit, dying to get closer to the male's immaculate pecs. God, the inappropriate things he wanted to do to this chest someday. "Gonna go back to sleep. You can stay the night if you want."

"Was already planning to~" Naruto remarked. When Sasuke said nothing else and let his eyes close, Naruto exhaled softly. He stared at the CEO's pale complexion and the bruises left behind on his neck. A crackle of thunder sounded off in the distance as rain continued to pour. Naruto listened to Sasuke's breathing even out before the male eventually fell back asleep. Then Naruto sighed. He thought back on everything that happened, everything that Sakura said yesterday, and then thought back to the last day he and Sasuke spent in college together. His chest felt heavy then. Feelings of guilt and pity rather than happiness began to flood into him. Lightning quietly flickered from behind the bedroom's curtains. Naruto held Sasuke closer. He pushed away those thoughts before closing his eyes and eventually dozing off.
