A/N: Hey guys. It's been a crappy several years. Hopefully 2024 will come with more updates from me. This will be a simple two shot. Merry Christmas and I hope you all enjoy it!

Hinata Hyuuga sat on her bed, the world fuzzy and pink around her. A half empty bottle of wine rested beside her on her nightstand. She hadn't drunk that much at that moment, but she had drunk at least a fourth of her wine that evening. It was more than she'd typically risk the day before work, but it was a time for celebration!

Hinata had invited two of her closest friends over, Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka. Temari, a third friend of theirs, wasn't able to come due to a visit with her brother in another country. So they made do with video calling her. The three of them had been close friends since highschool, and were now in their mid-to-late twenties. Sakura worked as a secretary at a hospital while she worked on her degree to become a doctor. Ino worked at her family's flower shop where she had managed to expand it to at least 3 more stores in neighboring cities.

And Hinata ... she worked as a secretary to a consulting agency.

Now, don't get her wrong, the job was fairly easy and it paid very well. It was also a large and respectable enough company to appease her father with her decision to not work for the family business. But it wasn't really what she wanted to do. She dreamed of being able to own her own bakery one day. Hinata wanted the ability to prove she could be very successful, just like everyone else in her family.

But she had always wanted to do it in a field that she absolutely adored doing, and cooking just happened to be her passion. It was something her and her mother had done frequently together before her untimely death. But her family's close restrictions hindered her from being able to pursue a future that she wanted. She was only given any type of freedom a few years ago. That only happened because her, her sister, and her cousin had all sat her father down and explained how harmful and detrimental his actions had been to them. They ended their speech explaining that if things continued the same way they always had, then they would be forced to cut contact with him.

It was a surprisingly effective talk that allowed her to finally leave the family company behind and venture on to her own path. This job had been recommended to her by Shino, who also worked there, as a means of starting to gain her independence. The way he described the job made it seem like an absolute dream, and to his credit, Shino has been right on the money on everything.

Except for their boss, Naruto Uzumaki.

He had been described as a very bright, warm individual that really made the whole experience worth it. He was apparently the type of man who treated all of his employees like they were his own family. He was inviting, funny, and overall a joy to be around. And Shino wasn't the only person who got that impression from him. All of her coworkers, especially the women, absolutely gushed on and on about how wonderful he was. And to his credit, from what Hinata observed about him from his interactions with those around her, everyone was right. He was like a ball of sunshine. Even on the most stressful days, the minute he walked into a room everything just became brighter. It was amazing, witnessing the effect he had on the people around him.

Except he wasn't at all like that with Hinata. He never stopped to make small talk with her. There was no joking around between them, he never spent too much time at her office birthday parties, and he never met up with her outside of work. She wouldn't say he was a mean or cruel boss. He was actually much more preferable compared to her father when she worked for him. As a matter of fact, it was a complete delight working for him during her first couple of months. He had been very talkative, and would spend almost all of his free time bothering her at her desk. They would spend at least one day a week getting coffee, or having a quick drink after work. It was very pleasant. He had such a hyper personality, she found it comparable to an adorable overactive child.

But one day, that all just stopped. It was incredibly abrupt. He wasn't rude, or mean to her. Just very polite and cordial, and if they were alone together he would still initiate conversation between the two of them. And he never went completely out of his way to avoid her, not that he really could considering she was his personal secretary, but it was a much more formal relationship. Before, it felt like the two of them were on their way to becoming close friends. Reverting to this more business-like relationship while he continued remaining his typical charming, wonderful, amazing self with everyone else made her feel like an outsider.

It also didn't help that Hinata had managed to develop a small crush on him as well. How could she not? He was a very physically attractive man, with blonde hair, a wonderful tan, and piercing bright blue eyes. Also, from the way his shirts would cling to him, she could tell that he was very physically fit as well. He... he made her feel so special in those first few months. It seemed as if he had hung onto every word she said. Any type of suggestion she made was not only listened to, but praised. He truly listened to her, almost as if they were on equal footing and that he wasn't her boss. At some points, he would even go to her for advice on what to do about any work related problems he was facing. Naruto also took a huge interest in her personal life. He always asked her about her hobbies, her interests, her family, etc. No other guy has ever shown that much interest in just her as a person. The ones she's dated in the past were either interested in her body, her family wealth, or both.

But ... it was different with him. And it made her feel amazing. She soon found herself fantasizing about him, and thinking about the two of them being together. She knew it was highly inappropriate, but she couldn't help it. The distance he had created was both amazing and horrible for Hinata. The distance was better for her professionally. She would hate to be labeled as a slut trying to sleep her way to a better position. And yet, it did little to stop her growing affection for her blonde boss. She still felt herself yearn for him, and while it made sense for him to be professional with her, it still hurt.

As much as she hated to admit it, Hinata ached for him.

And that brings her to tonight. Today was a very wonderful day for her. For the past couple of months Hinata had made the decision to finally enter into a culinary class. It was just another step towards her biggest dream- owning her own bakery. The classes, while very difficult and tough, had also been incredibly fulfilling to her. When she wasn't learning new recipes or techniques, she was going home and practicing. It allowed her to keep her mind off of her attractive boss. She also found that her coworkers adored the small little treats she would occasionally bring into the office for them to try out.

Finally, Hinata had graduated from the course. Not only had she passed, but she had also passed at the top of her class. Her teacher had been so impressed with her skills that she was recommended to work as an assistant baker at a small, but popular location. Of course, she still had to go in for an interview where she was sure she had managed to make a fool of herself. This took place around a week ago, and she was convinced that she had been passed over for the job.

She absolutely couldn't believe her luck when she got a phone call this morning where she was offered the job. Her and her friends had been absolutely thrilled! She accepted in a heartbeat, and let them know she could start as soon as she finished her final two weeks at her current job. She had typed up her two weeks' notice, and was prepared to turn it into Naruto. It was like a huge weight had finally been removed from her body. Hinata was not only one step closer to freedom from these complicated and hurtful emotions, but it also meant she was one step closer to reaching her aspirations.

Sakura, and Ino had rushed over while Temari zoomed in. Originally they were coming to celebrate her graduation, but now with this job they managed to go a little bit overboard in their little get together. The two of them had to leave in an Uber, since they were far too drunk to drive. She at least hoped they could all avoid awakening with a massive headache.

Her phone chimed, knocking her out of her thoughts. She quickly found that it was the group chat that they were all a part of.

Ino: Hinata! Tonight was so much fun! Thanks for having us over!

Hinata: thanks you guys for coming! I really appreciate it. And thank you so much for the gifts! I can't wait to wear that new sweater you brought me, Temari!

Temari: no problem suga :D

Sakura: hey now, what about the gifts me and Ino got you, huh? You should wear them too! Get yourself a man!

Hinata flushed a deep red, and couldn't help as a nervous giggle flew out of her mouth. How could she forget? While most of the gifts were very sweet, simple, and sentimental, Sakura and Ino had decided on getting two different enticing pieces of lingerie. One was a simple black lace teddy. She could tell from the look and feel of the material that it would definitely be see-through. It had a very deep cleavage in order to further enhance her already large chest.

But that was relatively tame compared to the other piece of lingerie they had given her. Hinata recalled her friends roaring in laughter while she almost passed out just from the sight of the present.

It was a deep, inky black. A color rarely in her arsenal. It was simple in concept. A pair of sexy matching bra and underwear.

The problem is, the bra had no cups. Instead of cups there to shield and hold her breasts, there was nothing. It was a series of strings that would wrap around her breast area, leaving her actually chest bare for the world to see. And her panties were almost normal, if not for the fact that it left her bare ass cheeks out in the open for the world to see. Not to mention there existed only a small piece of fabric to cover her mound. It left her lower lips exposed to the entire world.

Why did they decide to get their single friend lingerie?

Well her friends were convinced that she could use them to get a man, or at least a quick hook up. And to be honest, it had been awhile since Hinata had been in a relationship. The last one had been with Toneri, and that had been at least four years ago, right when she started college. While Hinata was used to drowning herself with school or work as a direction, having such an attractive boss did make her feel very sexually frustrated.

Hinata: thanks for that two you two! I'm just... it's just so...

Ino: SEEEEXXXXXXYYYYYY

Sakura: Helllll yeah! When a guy sees you , he's gonna lose his mind!

Temari: tbh if I saw Hinata in that I'd lose my mind. ;)

The blush on her cheeks intensified even more. Another set of giggles escaped her.

Hinata: temari! :o don't let shikamaru hear you say that!

Ino: no no no, she has a point. You're one hot mama!

Sakura: maybe u should model for us. ;D.

Ino:YEAAAAAAH, SHOW US WHAT U LOOK LIKE IN THAT SEXY STUFF!

Temari: DO IT, YESSSSSSS, HINAAATAA!

Hinata covered her mouth to muffle the shriek and laughter that escaped her. Oh yeah, she was very drunk. So drunk in fact, that she was actually considering doing what they wanted. In a very bold move, completely unlike her, she went to retrieve both sets of lingerie. She had kept them both in their original boxes, and had stuffed them in the back of her closet.

And maybe it was just the alcohol talking and making the world blurry, and fuzzy and warm at the same time. Perhaps it was the thrill and excitement of her ongoing good luck streak in terms of her career. Maybe it was the thought of wearing such sexy, and tantalizing lingerie for the first time made her feel bold. But Hinata, in a moment of lapsed judgment and glee decided to do it. Her friends were probably only joking, thinking shy, sweet Hinata would never do anything like that. But this was a new and improved Hinata.

A future baker, Hinata.

She chuckled, slipping out of her silk pajamas. The cool room brushed up against her flushed skin, causing her to shiver a bit and goosebumps to spread everywhere. She gave her body no time to adjust to the change in temperature. She didn't want to lose her nerve. She took off her bra and underwear, her nipples hardening immediately. Hinata felt excited, and naughty as she slipped the lingerie on. Who knows, maybe if she enjoyed the way it felt then she would keep them on all night long.

And maybe...

Possibly...

Since she was going to put in her two weeks, she could go to work wearing-

Hinata squealed to herself in embarrassment. Oh, what a thought that was! To think, someone like her would ever stroll into work wearing something like this! Imagine if she spread her legs just the right way, and Naruto managed to catch a peek at her. He'd probably shorten her two weeks to just two minutes. Hinata knew it wasn't a good idea, but could still delight in imagining his shocked face.

'Hinata, you need to focus! You have a mission you need to do!' She berated herself.

She managed to wobble her way into her bathroom and stood in front of the full length mirror. She gaped at the image staring back at her.

Hinata had never had very much self confidence in herself. But wow, perhaps it was just the alcohol, but even she had to admit to herself that she looked hot right now. The black material clashed with her snow white skin that made her look delicate. She was almost doll-like. Her friends knew her well enough to choose something sexy, but not something that would cause her to pass out. It pushed her milky white breasts up more, causing them to appear more perky and bountiful. The black lace was sheer enough to expose her nipples if one were to look closely enough. Her crotch area got the same treatment. While her naughty bits remained covered and protected, they were not safe from any prying eyes.

Hinata felt beyond sexy.

She scampered back into her bedroom with a wide grin stretching her flushed face. She couldn't wait to send her friends a picture. She was positive they were only joking, but tonight she felt bold! She wanted to leave them stumped and proud of this new vixen.

Hinata's phone vibrated as soon as she picked it up. The Hyuuga pampered at her screen through her fog and realized that the new text did not come from the group chat. Instead the person texting her caused her heart to race and her already flushed face to redden even farther. Some shame creeped up inside her at the heat that also spread through her lower region.

Naruto Uzumaki himself was texting her after 10pm on a weekend. Sure it was Sunday, but still.

Maybe...

Maybe...

With trembling fingers, she opened up his message.

Naruto: Hey, sorry to bother you so late but I just remembered. Do you mind giving me a hand with the presentation to Wave Incorporated? I'm just not liking how it's turning out and you're much better at this than I am and I'm a bit nervous.

Hinata's lips turned downward into a pout. Of course, he only needed her help with work. What else should she have expected? Their relationship was always purely professional. It was odd for her to get her hopes up for a late night booty call from her out of her league boss. That was a sign for her that she needed to go to bed. She was way too drunk and needed to sleep before she did or said something she regretted.

Her phone buzzed again.

Ino: Aye girlie you gonna model for us or what? You're killing me with anticipation!

Okay, okay, she would at least need to respond and then go to bed.

Hinata lied down, and posed the phone above her. She laid her hand across her stomach, and snapped a picture. She decided to snap another quick picture that was more spicy. It caught her upper body. Hinata made sure to bite her lip and roll her eyes in an exaggerated expression of pleasure. This time, the hand on her stomach was instead sliding down below her waist, off camera. Goodness, a picture insinuating her masterbating!

Hinata squealed to herself for being so naughty and devious. No longer would her friends be able to tease her for being shy and innocent. She quickly sent out her messages for the night before yawing, exhaustion creeping into her bones. It was past her bedtime at this point. And based on the text Naruto had sent her it was going to be another late night. Which was fine, since she was leaving it would be nice to spend as much extra time with him as possible.

It took some fumbling, but Hinata switched into her pajamas and snuggled under the blankets. Her simple text to her boss, and her salacious texts to her friends on her mind as she drifted away to dreamland.

Hinata: Okay, I can do that tomorrow!

Hinata: Alright, I hope this helps ;)

*Two attachments sent*

xXAccidentHappenXx

Hinata awoke with a start. She shot up and picked up her phone only to find a blank screen staring back at her. Wonderful, in her drunken haze last night she forgot to put her phone to charge. What time was it?! She scrambled out of bed and sprinted into her kitchen to find her oven clock staring back at her.

Great.

She had exactly 20 minutes to get ready and rush out of the house to make it on time to work. On a normal day she would give herself at least double that time! Hinata shook off the thought and rushed around the house. A quick shower, a slice of toast was all she could manage for self care. She threw on a black dress skirt with a black blazer and a white button up shirt. Hinata just barely managed to grab on to her phone and charger before rushing out into her car.

With several broken laws and speeding all the way there, Hinata managed to make it to work only five minutes late. She rushed to her station, praying that maybe Naruto was also late and wouldn't notice tha-

"Oh, Hinata, there you are."

The blue haired beauty froze, cursing at her constant lack of luck. She straightened up from her desk, and turned to face the towering blonde behind her. Of course despite him being known for being chronically late combined with him being up late last night, he would manage to get here on time today of all days. Despite feeling ashamed at her tardiness, Hinata didn't let that stop her from checking him out.

Today's attire for the handsome blonde was a casual pair of black slacks. For a shirt, he donned an orange button up that he had rolled up to the elbows, exposing his delicious muscular arms. They were crossed in front of his chest, causing his muscles to flex in a way that inspired heat to flood her lower regions. His short blonde hair made him look so rugged and carefree. She wondered if his hair was softer than the jagged locks implied. His tan cheeks had three lines on each side, a tattoo he admitted he had gotten as a dare when he was younger. Hinata thought they looked amazing, and wished to trace each line with her tongue.

"H-Hi! Sorry I'm late, my phone died s-so my alarm clock didn't go off and I-"

He put his hand up to stop her from speaking. His piercing blue eyes trailed over her body, making her feel naked and exposed under their gaze. A smile graced his lips once his eyes met hers once more. He was probably laughing at her disheveled appearance.

"It's fine Hinata. I've been late plenty of time. You're allowed to be late every once in a while."

"Thanks, But I prefer being on time. It won't happen again, I swear." She returned his smile with a meek version of her own.

"So you said your phone died?"

"Um, y-yeah. I forgot to plug it in to charge last night and then it just died on me. Why? Did you need something else?" She hoped that when she responded to his text she was as clear and coherent as she recalled. It would be mortifying to have him realize that she was technically drunk texting him the night before.

Instead of an immediate reply, the blonde simply stared into her eyes. His smile remained, but morphed into something more devious. She could feel herself blushing under his intense staring. And perhaps it was the remains of the alcohol still floating around in her system, but she could swear that there was a flicker of desire in his eyes.

"I was just wondering. Do you mind staying late tonight? I'm gonna need some extra help with things. And I want to have a chat with you about something if that's alright."

Even his voice seemed deeper and laced with an underlying carnal desire for her. Hinata's own voice wasn't able to escape her throat. All she could do was nod.

"Great! Let's have a great day Hinata!"

Despite the rough start to her morning, Hinata Hyuuga did her best to remain professional and normal. She sat at her desk and while her phone charged she worked away. Answering the phone, greeting people expecting to meet with the Uzuamki, organizing his calendar for the next month and making sure his schedule left him free to attend whatever personal affairs he wanted. She also ran about the office taking stock of all the supplies that the office needed so she could appropriately restock them. If she was gonna be gone after two weeks she at least wanted everything to be as organized after she was gone.

But no matter how often she moved about the building, someone seemed to always be trailing close behind her. If he wasn't in a meeting, her blonde boss was hovering around her. Sometimes she would catch him simply staring at her from a distance. Her only response when their eyes met was to give him a smile. One that he returned. She assumed that maybe he had some sort of 6th sense as a boss and knew that today would be the day that she would be putting in her notice. She tried not to let the extra attention fluster her.

At one point, she found him leaning over her shoulder, peering at the automated ordering system that she was trying to set up for the office. It was something she'd been working on to ensure that they would always have what they needed without someone having to manually keep track of things.

"Wow, Hinata, that looks pretty great. I'm really lucky to have you as my secretary." He complimented her.

Why did he have to smell as good as he looked? And why, oh, why did he feel tempted to speak so close into her ear. It left a trail of goosebumps across her neck that caused a shiver to run up her spine. She could feel her eyes droop as the heavy feeling of lust once again pooled inside of her. Now if he could only lean closer and put those lips to use...

"Th-thank you sir. I'm here to please!" She hoped her tone let him in on the fact she was only joking. Well, she was mostly joking. Just to be safe she forced herself to smile and turn to look at him.

She found him only an inch or two away from her.

His gaze was smoldering. Bright baby blue eyes were now a dark navy blue filled with indecipherable emotion in them. There was a sudden thick tension between them. One that made her eyes droop and head dizzy. She could feel her nipples tighten underneath her bra and she clenched her thighs together. Was she imagining this? Was she still tipsy?

And for a brief second, it appeared to her that he was leaning forward. As if he was planning to kiss her. But as soon as she detected the slight movement, the telephone next to her rang causing her to jump. He also seemed to snap out of whatever moment they were having and stood straight up.

Hinata answered the phone, her voice struggling to maintain any hint of professionalism as Naruto turned and walked into his office.

She replayed that interaction over and over again in her head, trying to find some meaning from it.

Finally, finally, her work load slowed as the end of the day neared. At 4:55 she could see her fellow coworkers getting up and getting ready to leave. Hinata decided that now would be a great time for a quick break. Today had been so hectic and her nerves had been so fried that she hadn't even stopped to eat lunch today. Or even check her phone. She unplugged it, and turned it on as she strode into the now empty break room. She waved goodbye to those who decided to slip out a few minutes early. Naruto was a kind man. As long as someone finished all their work the same day he wouldn't mind if they left a few minutes early.

Another great quality that she admired about him.

The Hyuuga decided on a simple yogurt cup for right now. Later on, she could have something more filling to eat. This would hold her over for now. She shoved the creamy goodness into her mouth as her phone finally finished turning on. Of course, she was none too surprised to find several texts from her friends. They were probably beyond thrilled to finally have something sexy sent by her.

She quickly opened up the messages and read through them.

Ino: OMG! Really?

Temari: Damn girl, ur gonna keep us in suspense?

Sakura: If you're gonna do it, do it now! Don't leave us with blue balls!

Temari: Lmao right?

Ino: Both of you HUSH! Don't scare her out of doing this!

Hinata scrolled through the rest of the text's conversations to find the rest of their conversations centered around their day. Sakura was having a very busy time at the hospital. Apparently one of her patients had become violent and she had to restrain them. Ino was having a slow day at her flower shop and was considering closing early to spend some extra alone time with Sai. And Temari was complaining about how Shikamaru was going to be working late that night. Besides last night, there was no mention of Hinata or her pictures.

She continued eating her cup as she scrolled up through the conversation. She actually couldn't see the pictures anywhere. But that wasn't possible. She had sent them, that much she was sure of. So where...

That's when she noticed an unread message from one Naruto Uzamaki on her phone. Her stomach dropped and her heart started thudding. She placed the yogurt cup down, suddenly not finding herself in the mood to keep eating. With great hesitation, she pulled open their text conversation.

She found a simple message from him.

Naruto: We'll talk about this tomorrow.

Right above that text were two pictures.

Two pictures of Hinata.

Two pictures of Hinata in lingerie.

Oh no.

A/N: There you have it folks! That's chapter one! I am hoping that next week I have the final chapter done for New Years Day. I would like to thank my good buddy A The Editor for reading over my work. I couldn't have done it without him!

A: Welcome back! Merry Christmas to those who celebrate!

Thanks for reading! I appreciate it a lot especially after my long absence. See you next week!
