Naruto kept a bright smile on his face as he watched her leave, waiting until he was sure she couldn't see his face.

Then the smile dropped.

His lips pursed together as he stared at the keychain in his hand. The happy smiling face of the Chibi-Naruto seemed to be mocking him for looking so glum. Making fun of him for not getting Hinata anything.

For not getting a precious gift…

His eyes closed and he remembered the soft feeling of the scarf she made for him all those years ago. He remembered the sincerity in her eyes, the blush on her cheeks as she poured her heart out to him. The warmth he felt when he rubbed the soft material against his face…

But, what did he do? He foolishly broke her heart. He hurt her so bad that she avoided him for years, moving on from him, giving her love to someone else.

Of course she wouldn't give him a precious gift. He didn't deserve it. He didn't deserve her love. Not her friendship and definitely not her body.

A wave of nausea rippled through his stomach.

Someone like Hinata deserved a man who loved her wholeheartedly, who would worship the ground she walked on, who would give her the pure, tender, love that she deserved.

Not a man who only wanted her body… who couldn't take his hands off of her if his life depended on it. Who… who… selfishly used her to satisfy his own desires, marring her perfection with his selfish marks. Reveling in the way she moaned his name, in the way she begged him for more, in the way she wanted him.

But, she… She only encouraged his selfishness. She told him that she wanted him, that she liked what they were doing. She begged him to make her feel good. She wanted him to be rough, to be dirty, to mess them both up.

The worst part was that Naruto lost all self control, he couldn't stop himself from honoring all her wishes.

Naruto couldn't deny that he wanted it just as much as she did. He was insanely attracted to her, that much was clear. Hinata was undeniably beautiful and he didn't realize how badly he wanted her until she kissed him for the first time.

Just a taste and he was hooked.

And… fuck it, she let him have her! Over and over again. She didn't expect anything from him… Hinata didn't ask him for anything more than sex. Maybe that's all she wanted from him. So why was his mind such a mess?

The answer was clear, he knew she deserved better but he still wanted her. He knew that he should be firm and tell her that they shouldn't sleep together again, that she deserved a man who would treat her better than him.

But he didn't want this to end, he couldn't end this… He felt like he might die if he was never allowed to touch her again.

His eyes and hands remembered every soft dip and curve of her body. His lips could never forget the taste of her mouth or her most intimate parts. His manhood couldn't even think of forgetting the wet, plush, folds that enveloped him so perfectly every time they were connected.

He couldn't imagine sleeping with anyone else after having a taste of her. Hinata was just so perfect, so addicting, he could never get enough of her.

God, he felt obsessed, his insides all torn and twisted. He wanted all of her desire, all of her affection, all of her attention.

Just the thought of her ending things and finding a man who was actually worthy of her, left a bitter, foul taste in his mouth.

The reality of it made him choke.

It was a fact that she would leave him because she was using him too, having fun with him until someone better came along.

His chest felt constricted, making it hard to breathe, hard to think. He raised the hand that held the keychain over his heart, letting the plastic dig into his chest.

Fuck! He was so pathetic, so, so selfish.

What was wrong with him? All this over a gift…

It didn't matter that it wasn't handmade. Hinata gave it to him so he would cherish it… He really did appreciate the gesture.

Naruto took a deep unsteady breath, then another, willing his mind to calm down. He had to regain himself. He needed to focus on Hinata and stop overthinking things.

He appreciated her…

He… he had to show her that he appreciated her gift. Maybe he was dumb and didn't get her anything but he could show her the only way he knew how. In a way that brought them both pleasure.

When he left the kitchen, his eyes quickly found her. She was giving Kiba and Tamaki a hug goodbye. Kiba had too much to drink and was practically being dragged out by Akamaru.

Naruto's gaze burned all night, setting her skin on fire, which she was able to blame on the sake and her warm sweater. She was all too aware of the way he looked at her, the way he was still looking at her.

When Kiba left, Hinata couldn't stop herself from meeting Naruto's gaze. The fiery look in his eyes made her blush. It was both flattering and infuriating at the same time, him trying to start something in a place where they couldn't act on their desires, around their friends.

Naruto kept looking at her like that, slightly gesturing his head, silently asking if she wanted to get out of here with him.

She just nodded at him and then she made her way over to Sakura, thanking her for the great party. Naruto saw her give Sasuke a small wave, which the dark haired man returned with a small barely there smile.

Naruto scratched his cheek, thinking that maybe they were silent friends, quiet people who communicated without words. He didn't really get it since he was never quiet. But he liked the idea of Hinata getting along with the people closest to him.

Of course, Sasuke knew that he was staring at Hinata and chose that moment to look at Naruto with a knowing smirk. Naruto glared at him, a curse leaving his lips when Sakura and Hinata also turned to look at him.

He flushed slightly at the playful smile and look in Hinata's eyes, because she knew exactly why he was staring and she was enjoying it, his attention.

Sakura waved him over with a smile "Naruto! Are you leaving too?"

"Uh, yeah, I'm beat. I have to work tomorrow. A Hokage's duty is never done." Naruto answered with a sheepish smile, ignoring the urge to punch the stupid smirk off of Sasuke's face.

Sakura looked at him with concern, "I hope you're taking care of yourself." Then she paused, voice raising as she pointed a finger at him, "You better not be living off of cup ramen!"

Naruto blanched, waving his hands in front of him, "N-no way, Sakura. I totally eat vegetables and stuff now." he lied not so smoothly. He did take better care of himself compared to when he was a kid and could actually make some meals but cup ramen was still his go to.

Green eyes scrutinized him, "You better not be lying! As Hokage you need to be the picture of health!" She sounded partly like a doctor and partly like a concerned friend.

"I promise! And I never go back on my word -dattebayo!" he stated more confidently, easing Sakura's worries. Damn it now he had to eat healthier since he invoked his nindo.

Meanwhile Hinata was giggling cutely at him, her hand covering her lips. Sasuke looked like he was enjoying this a little too much, if you ask Naruto.

"You better!" Sakura stated firmly.

Naruto sheepishly looked away and instead switched his attention to Hinata with a bright smile.

"Hey, Hinata. You're leaving now too?" His hand rubbed the back of his head, "You want me to walk you home?" She was so pretty, Naruto thought as he looked down at her, feeling the urge to kiss her, to hold her close against him.

Hinata smiled sweetly up at him, her eyes almost twinkling under the light, telling him that she wanted him too.

"Sure. Thank you, Naruto-kun." she said then turned to face Sakura and Sasuke, telling them bye again. Naruto waved goodbye and walked away with Hinata, missing the suspicious glance Sakura gave him.

Before they reached the door, Shino came up to them, asking Hinata if she would like him to walk her home.

"Oh, it's okay Shino-kun. Naruto-kun offered to walk with me." Hinata said kindly to her friend.

Shino looked at them for a moment, seemingly hesitating, before he calmly said okay and gave them his goodbyes, his eyes following them as they walked out the door.

Naruto and Hinata walked a respectable distance apart, not looking at each other until they were out of their friends eyesight. They weren't sure who moved closer first but their hands brushed against each other as they walked under the streetlights.

Naruto reached out for her hand, holding it lightly, stopping, as he looked at her, "I wanted to properly thank you for the gift…"

Hinata looked up at him in surprise before she felt his lips on hers, her eyes instantly fluttering shut at the delicate pressure before it turned deeper, his lips moving slow and heavy.

"I… really appreciate it. I really appreciate you Hinata…" he whispered against her lips before kissing her again, more firmly and oh so deep, it made her weak in the knees.

Naruto wanted to show her…show her that she was important to him.

She wasn't sure how long they stood in the middle of the street kissing but it felt like an eternity, while she melted under his touch, his hands running down her sides.

"Let me show you how much I loved it." Naruto husked when he finally pulled away from her lips. His blue eyes were clouded and stormy, gazing at her with so much intensity, so much desire, she couldn't say no even if she wanted to.

Hinata swallowed, tongue heavy as she wordlessly nodded her head, letting him lead her to her apartment.

His hands were on her in a flash, pinning her against her door as he lifted her up, her legs wrapped around his waist. Naruto's lips met hers quickly, his tongue prodding against her mouth, kissing her hotly, like his life depended on it.

Hinata's hand cupped his jaw, fingers stroking the rough whisker marks on his cheeks. Her other hand tugged the short blonde hair at the back of his scalp, pulling him deeper against her mouth, breathing him in as his hands roamed under her sweater, searing a heated trail into her skin.

She moaned into his mouth when his hands groped her boobs, massaging them through her bra, hands impatient and needy, trying to shift her bra out of the way to no avail. It didn't matter how many times they did this, each touch felt as good as the last.

Naruto pulled away from her swollen lips, moving his hands from under her sweater and pulling down her turtleneck. The rough motion contained too much strength, causing the material to tear down past her collarbone, red strands of thread flying around them.

He actually looked apologetic, voice sounding rough and raspy, his hand frozen in place, "Shit, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that."

Hinata shook her head, not wanting him to stop, "Don't stop. Just rip it off, Naruto-kun." she told him with a sense of urgency in her voice, her chest rising and falling rapidly. Her body craved his touch so much, she didn't even care about the ruined clothing. She didn't care about anything else at that moment.

"Fuck… Hinata." he rasped in awe as he ripped the rest of the fabric, making a mess of red threads fall all over them and the floor. He made quick work of her bra too, throwing it away carelessly, completely exposing her upper body.

Then he let his eyes wander down, taking in her beautiful face, framed by her dark tresses, the way her large breasts heaved and her soft yet toned stomach. All Naruto could think about is how beautiful she was.

Soft lips trailed down her neck, nipping and biting the already bruised flesh. While his hands gripped her boobs, massaging them and tweaking her nipples. He relished in the sound of her soft moans and sharp gasps as he worked her over.

Naruto kissed a searing path down her collarbone and between her breasts. He moved his hands to hold her up higher, bending down so he could kiss her soft plushly breasts.

His tongue swirled around her nipple, licking until he enveloped it, sucking hard on the sensitive bud. He switched over to her other breast doing the same thing to it while Hinata whimpered with need.

Her hands tugged on his clothes, wanting to feel his bare body against hers. Needing more than what he was giving her right now. "Naruto-kun… take it off."

Naruto finally left her sensitive nipples, watching them all swollen and slick with his spit, before staring into Hinata's eyes. "You're so impatient, Hinata. Do you want me that badly?" he teased, rising up and capturing her lips once more in a heated kiss.

Hinata whispered hotly against his mouth, desire dripping from her lips, "I do. I want you Naruto-kun."

He couldn't stop the growl that left his lips at her heated words. He let her unzip his hoodie and take off his t-shirt, revealing his bare chest and abs.

Moonlit eyes appreciatively admired his strong muscles, her hands stroking the hard muscles on his chest. "So strong… So handsome." she whispered with unabated desire, making his face flush at her praise, her words sending heat straight down to his already hard dick, the outline poking through his pants and grinding against her clothed heat.

Hinata knew just the right words to say, the right ways to touch him, to make him so fucking hard for her. So fucking consumed with her, to the point where all he wanted to do was make her come for him, to come inside of her, to be completely and utterly lost in her presence.

It made him think how crazy he was to try and hold back the first time they slept together. He was so afraid of fucking up their rekindling friendship that he tried to stop himself from sleeping with her. Now, he was so far removed from that time. Wild recklessness overtook him until there was no ounce of self control left.

"Yeah? What do you want me to do to you, Hinata?" he husked sexily, pulse pounding through his veins. He wondered if Hinata knew the power she held over him. How she made him feel insane with his lust for her.

Hinata didn't hesitate to answer, the promise of unadulterated pleasure filling her mind, as she whispered the dirty words, "I want you to fuck me right here, right now… fill me up so good…"

Her hands dropped to the button on his pants, undoing it quickly, then pulling down the zipper of his pants. The outline of his hard length poking through his boxers, showing her just how much he wanted her.

Naruto hissed when her hand disappeared inside his underwear, stroking him slowly, teasing the dripping head of his cock with her thumb. He could only see what she was doing to him through the outline of his boxers and it made him moan greedily.

"Fuck, Hinata... I'll fuck you so good… Gonna make you come so hard for me." his eyes darkened as he watched her hazy lavender eyes clouded with desire and lust for him.

It drove him crazy, she drove him crazy. He was burning, aching to give her exactly what she desired.

Naruto captured her puffy lips with passionate fervor, their tongues stroking one another's heatedly in a deep desperate kiss. She met his kiss with the same passion, electric and fiery all at the same time.

"Just tell me and I'll give you everything… Everything you want." he rasped against her pouty lips, her hands still deliciously stroking his rigid arousal as his chest tightened, heart racing. He realized that he meant those words. He wanted to give her everything.

God, he felt like he was losing himself to her. She was making him so obsessed with her.. Obsessed with her face, her lips, her hands, her body… Obsessed with fucking her.

He didn't want to wait anymore, his desire consuming him. His hands greedily pulled at her jeans, letting her stand only long enough to kick them off, while he stripped himself of his remaining clothing.

Hinata's delicate touch stroked the strong muscles of his arms as he picked her up again, pinning her against her front door. He didn't waste time, rubbing against her drenched folds, coating his throbbing cock with her essence.

"N-Naruto-kun, so strong… so hard… I want you." Hinata gasped as his pulsing length grinded hard against her slick, heated folds.

"Fuck… You like that? That I'm strong and hard for you?" Naruto breathed out, feeling ready to explode, muscles flexing just because of her words, his dick impossibly hard just for her, all for her.

He wanted nothing more than to fulfill all her desires. To show her that he was worthy of being the one she shared her bed with. That he could make her feel better than anyone else.

He lined the red engorged tip of his dick to her tight entrance, teasing it, not pushing in until she answered him.

A blush coated her cheeks, as her hands caressed the strong sturdy muscles of his shoulders, running them down to stroke his chest muscles.

When her wandering hands reached the hard muscles in his abdomen, she whispered almost like she was admitting a secret, her voice still coated in need for him, "Yes… I love how strong you are. How your body was forged with years of hard battles and training. Your muscles aren't just for show…"

Her hand slid down, gripping his aching length, pulsating with need, and guided him inside of her drenched pussy, "Ah, I love how hard you get for me, like you want me…" Hinata gasped when he pushed all the way inside her welcoming heat, stretching her out and stuffing her full with his desire.

Naruto held her hands above her head, entwining their fingers. His hips grinded deeply inside of Hinata, making her feel every inch of him as she was pinned between his body and the door.

"Fuck, Hinata, I want you so bad… I'm so fucking hard for you. You don't know what you do to me." he growled as he started thrusting deep inside of her, his pace slow and heavy, her wet pussy clenching on him so tightly.

"Show me… show me how badly you want me, Naruto-kun." She whispered heatedly, wanting him to give her all of his attention, all of his desire.

"I want you Hinata…You make me feel so fucking good… I never want to leave you." he groaned hungrily, punctuating his words with rough thrusts inside her sensitive folds. The meaning of his words melded in his mind, turning him inside out.

Wanton moans echoed in his ears as her hooded lavender eyes pierced into his darkened blue eyes with so much hunger, so much carnal desire, that he felt like he might burst right then and there.

"H-harder… Ah, more.. N-Naruto-kun" Naruto dropped her hands from his grasp and gripped the round globes of her ass, massaging and kneading the soft curves as he held her firmly.

"Uhn, I'm gonna fuck you so hard, Hinata… I wanna give you everything… Want you to take all of me." Naruto moaned with ravenous passion, thrusting harder inside of her silky core, giving her everything she wanted from him.

She drove him crazy. His blood searing in his veins, his skin on set aflame, while his cock throbbed so deep inside of her. Naruto couldn't breathe properly, not until his lips claimed hers, his mouth breathing in her desperately like a lifeline.

He felt like he was drowning inside her, in the way her body molded to his, in her sharp gasps and moans. In the taste of her delicious lips, her scent, in her beauty. He wanted her to fall apart for him, to give her all the pleasure she desired.

God, he felt like he didn't exist without her. Like he needed her, needed this, to survive. His chest felt so heavy and full at the same time.

He could hear the slick squelching sound when he pulled out, the slap of his pelvis meeting hers, the wooden door creaking with each powerful movement of his hips.

But, all that paled in comparison to the way his name spilled from her lips in lustful needy moans, telling him she wanted him, that she needed him, that she wanted more, more, more.

Greedy, eager pleas left her lips, begging him to fuck her harder, even when he heard the wooden door splinter, even when he was afraid of hurting her. She only passionately pleaded for more.

Her nails dug painfully into his back as his pace quickened, claiming her insides deep and hard just the way she wanted.

It didn't take long for the pleasure to overwhelm her, reaching her peak and cumming hard around his pounding cock, half screaming, half whimpering, his name in pure ecstasy.

Naruto grit his teeth, burying himself completely inside of her clenching walls and grinding his hips hard. He wanted more. He wanted to bring her even more pleasure, make her cum even harder because of him.

"Oh, Fuck, Hinata… You're perfect… so fucking perfect." He started stroking harder inside her sensitive folds, breathless, lost in his lust for her, "I want you… I want you."

"N-Naruto-kun, I'm… I'm gonna…" She moaned into his ear, body wrapped around him perfectly, quivering and trembling as she rode out her orgasm. His throbbing desire still pounding inside of her, hitting all her sensitive spots.

She couldn't speak, she couldn't think, not when Naruto was doing everything in his power to make her reach her peak again. His hard dick, throbbing inside of her, feeling swollen with lust and impossibly big as he persistently buried himself inside of her soft pliant inner walls.

Their bodies pressed together so tightly, every sensation, every touch intensified their passion. Until Hinata came again, harder than before, eyes shutting tightly as the pleasure rang throughout her body in shuddering waves.

Naruto couldn't hold back any longer, the tight, wetness of her heated core suffocating him as he pressed his length balls deep inside her, shooting out his hot cum into her clenching walls.

Hinata's limbs felt like jelly and Naruto may have dropped her when he came, if not for his hips pinning her firmly against the door frame.

Their breaths were heavy and unstable, lungs burning with exertion.

When she slightly shifted, moving back to rest her head against the cool door, just enough for him to see her lavender eyes, Naruto placed a soft, slow kiss on her lips, letting her know how much he appreciated her, how much he enjoyed what they did.

After some moments, the strength finally came back to his limbs and he slowly pulled out of her sensitive folds, body burning at the soft gasp that left her lips.

But, he didn't put her down. Instead he lifted her firmly against his body, letting her rest her head against his shoulder, as he carried her to her bedroom.

He placed her down gently on the bed, taking a moment to admire at her beautiful frame, before sliding in right next to her, pulling the covers over them. His arm wrapped around her waist loosely, while he stared unsurely at the back of her head.

Her body was stiff, shoulders tense and a part of him was afraid that she would move away. The space of her bed was much bigger than his couch, when he practically forced her to cuddle with him. This time he didn't have a good excuse to keep her with him.

Time stilled for a moment, only the sounds of soft breathing filling the room…

Then Hinata surprised him by wordlessly turning around in his arms, moving closer and burying her face against his broad chest, body relaxing as she pressed a tender kiss against his chest.

Naruto couldn't fight off the blush that littered his cheeks as he brightly yet sleepily smiled down at her. His arms wrapped around her tighter, feeling her body pressed so intimately against his once more.

He placed a gentle kiss on the top of her head, cuddling her close and pressing his nose against her hair, inhaling that soothing scent of lavender and chamomile that was just so Hinata.

….

Hinata woke up to the sight of Naruto's chest. She felt his strong arms still wrapped around her, in the same position they fell asleep in.

She took a deep breath, inhaling his scent, something warm and citrusy yet masculine at the same time.

A dull ache gripped her chest… the feeling of regret washing over her.

Last night, when she was tired and spent, she allowed herself to indulge in Naruto's embrace. In his warm kisses, in his body pressed against hers, holding her so close like he didn't want to let her go.

But, now her heart throbbed painfully. She was playing pretend, letting herself get wrapped up in the moment, in his neverending kindness. Naruto was too sweet for his own good. It was easy to get carried away basking in his presence and forget that she was only making herself fall harder.

Her breath came out in shallow puffs…

She should run away, leave him here and never look back. But, he held her so tightly, even in his sleep. She was trapped in his embrace.

Hinata closed her eyes, willing the throbbing in her chest away.

She could… she could indulge in him, take whatever he was willing to give her and just pretend that it was all fine. That she wasn't breaking on the inside. That her fragile heart wasn't yearning for him like no other.

It crossed her mind that this would all be easier if he wasn't so kind. If he was the kind of man that just used her and threw her away, then she could fall out of love with him. Maybe even hate him.

But, Naruto… Naruto was the opposite. He was kind and sweet, always caring about her feelings, trying his best not to hurt her.

She just knew that when he decided he was tired of her, he would let her down gently, and insist that they stay friends, because she was important to him…

Just not in the way she longed for…

Not in the same way she felt for him…

She was distracted from her thoughts when she felt him shift, his bright blue orbs gazing at her with adoration.

Bright warm rays of sunlight shone upon his face highlighting the handsomeness of his tan, sun-kissed skin, his strong jaw and his beaming smile as he looked down at her.

Hinata felt her heart race uncontrollably, pounding so hard it echoed in her ears. Her throat felt dry and tight.

Those three little words kept repeating themselves in her head, in her heart. She loved him… she loved him so much it hurt. Like a knife twisting in her chest.

"Hey, Hinata… you're still here…" he whispered in disbelief coated with happiness, before leaning down and capturing her lips in a soft, tender kiss.

No, it wasn't like a knife, it was the pulsing pain of the gentle fist, soft and deadly, a feather-like touch that left the barest of marks before the throbbing excruciating pain overtook, stealing the air from your lungs, collapsing your chest, and draining the life from your organs before you even realized it happened.

Something must have shown her face because Naruto looked at her with worry when he pulled back, his hand cupping her cheek, fingers gently stroking the soft skin. "Hinata? Are you okay?"

She didn't say anything, eyes focused on her hands that caressed his chest, his heart. If she said the words, 'I love you', it would ruin everything. She could already picture the rejection in his eyes, the look on his face as if she had slapped him instead of confessing her love for him.

"Um, was I… was I too rough last night? Are you hurt?" He asked sheepishly, face red with embarrassment and concern.

Hinata took a deep breath, stifling the ache in her chest that far outweighed the ache between her thighs. She pressed her face against his chest once more, closing her eyes and whispering "I…I'm fine. Just tired…"

She could endure this. She'd dealt with worst pain in her life. At least this came with pleasure, the exhilarating high before the numbing low.

"Oh… that's good! You had me worried for a sec there." Naruto looked up thoughtfully, tapping his chin with his finger, "I know! I can run you a bath and make us some breakfast!"

He seemed excited at the prospect, bouncing with energy and Hinata couldn't help the small smile that graced her lips.

She could do this... She could stifle the thoughts in her mind, smother the feelings threatening to burst out of her heart. She could just enjoy him, enjoy these moments while they lasted. At least that's what she told herself.

After all, what's one more mistake in the face of many?
