Chapter 3

Once Toneri got home, he found Hinata sleeping soundly in their bed. He thought that it was strange since she rarely takes naps, but he figured she must be tired from the tennis game. He would need to talk to her about it, since he needed her ready for him at all times. Sitting next to her he tried to wake her up.

"Hinata, love." He shook her shoulder and she mumbled something he couldn't quite understand. "We have that dinner with two of the major shareholders of my father's company." He applied a little more force and she jumped, startled by him.

"Toneri?" Hinata rubbed one of her eyes and cleaned a trickle of drool from her chin.

"Important. Business. Dinner." He got up from where he sat and waited for her to do same.

"Oh, that. Okay, I'll get ready."

Her fiancé didn't say much else as he went to take a shower and she went inside the closet, only to find a burgundy spaghetti strap dress waiting for her. As she removed her nightgown, and picked the dress up, she noticed in her peripheral vision that she no longer had that pink glow on her bottom. She was both relieved and saddened about it.

On one side, she was relieved that Toneri wouldn't see anything wrong and would still be blissfully unaware of the events that transpired this morning.

On the other, she was sad cause she had really enjoyed seeing the pink glow.


Dinner was boring.

Hinata sat there listening to the men talking about something related to Toneri's father company, while the wives of said men kept glaring at her. Probably something related to the fact that I have more cleavage showing that what they consider to be proper. The other two couples were in the age range of forty to fifty and were very close minded. In fact, almost everyone that worked at that place was like that.

Trying to find something to do while their food hadn't arrived, she decided to check her phone for any messages her friends might have sent.

Since Toneri forbid her from having any type of social media, her home screen had all the apps that were pre-installed and two lousy puzzle games. Sakura had helped her, and she didn't know how she did it, but her pink haired friend used some kind of hack to make the Instagram app look like it was a period tracking one.

Turning on her mobile data, the notifications started to pop up.

Her sister had sent her some funny memes about the new show they had been watching. The group chat was surprisingly quiet, and, aside from a few pictures Ino sent, nothing too important.

And that's when another notification popped up.

UZUMAKI_NARUTO has sent you a follow request

Her eyes almost popped out from the sockets, but she quickly regained composure and opened a game and pretended to play for a bit. Everyone seemed to be ignoring her, so she took a deep breath, trying to calm the butterflies in her stomach.

Very few people knew about her Instagram page. Only those who were really close had knowledge of it, so how the hell de he found out?

She was very cautious about her profile. Everyone she had there had Toneri and his minions blocked. Accepting Naruto's request could ruin it all. But at the same time, she wanted to accept it.

She went to his profile and found that she was already following him. Her mind kept trying to remember when that could have had happen and she couldn't put a finger on it.

She scrolled down and saw that he not only had a large following but was very active as well. He had a lot of pictures with his friends, some she recognized, some did not. The blond traveled a lot and there were some silly pictures that made her laugh.

One of the most recent ones, was one with his parents, or at least seemed to be his parents. He was wishing a happy birthday to a man who almost looked like Naruto's twin, but he didn't have the cute whisker markings Naruto had, but overall, they looked very much alike. The woman that was hugging said man with Naruto had long redhead and the same grin the younger blond had on his face. It was a cute picture and her finger moved to double tap the screen unconsciously, but her brain stopped her in time.

The next picture was of Naruto in Suna and he and a moody redhaired man were posing for a picture shirtless. The caption told her that he and his friend had just won a game of volleyball. The redhead was holding a ball and once again Naruto had his signature grin on, eyes covered by sunglasses and hair a beautiful mess of blond locks. But what made her fixate on that picture was that she could get a nice view of his body. He was muscular but not overly so, that perfectly tanned skin combined with the lines of his abs made her want to run her nails down his chest and-

"My dear," Toneri's voice made her head snap up and her anxiety spiked, her trembling fingers tried to lock her phone and she fumbled all over it. He seemed to ignore it and gave her a small smile. "Something interesting on there? Your face is quite red." Hinata tried to look for an explanation but she was struggling with her words, fearing he would ask for the device and once he unlocked it, it would be hell on earth.

"I-I jus-just got frustrated f-from losing again in the ga-game." She gave him a shy smile and placed her phone back in her purse, hugging one of his arms and giving him a quick peck on the lips. This seemed to distract Toneri but she noticed him slightly more focused on her movements.

She didn't touch her phone until they finally got back to the penthouse. He left and went to his study, saying he needed to make a few phone calls and deal with paperwork.

Hinata waited a few minutes before picking up the device. After she put her nightgown on and cleaned off her make up, sat in the bed, and turned on the tv for background noise, calming the butterflies in her stomach, she managed to unlock her phone but regretted her decision immediately. Throwing it back down onto the covers, she started to pace the room.

No. No. No. NO. How could I be so clumsy? I'm so stupid. Shit what is he going to think about be now.

While she was having a mini panic attack, she tried to calm herself down but to no avail.

She had accidentally liked the picture. At the time, the fear of Toneri finding out about what she had been doing, made her fingers tap the small heart button below Naruto's picture.

Now was too late for her to unlike it.

She looked at the infernal device that seemed to mock her for her clumsiness and picked it up once more.

Hands shaking, she left his profile and decided to accept his request. It took her around five minutes to do so, but once it finally happened, Hinata considered sending him a message apologizing and explaining that it had been a mistake.

But she changed her mind once she saw he was online and decided to answer her friends and family instead.

A small part of her wanted to explore his profile once more, but the dominant side of her decided to check her own profile for any embarrassing pictures she had that might need to be deleted or archived. Should have done this before accepting his request.

After a meticulous inspection she found nothing that needed to be deleted. She debated about a few pictures where she had been wearing a bikini but left them there anyways.

She got distracted by the tv until her phoned buzzed. She opened the notification not looking, thinking it was either from Ino or Sakura but once again, stupidity seemed to prevail.

UZUMAKI_NARUTO: Nice profile

UZUMAKI_NARUTO: Is he unaware of this as well?

She considered leaving him on read and just burry her phone in one of the potted plants in the balcony. Her cheeks were flaring, and her nerves got the best of her.

Laying down on the bed and burying her head in her pillow she waited for her courageous side to pop up.

When she met him the night before, she had a sense of confidence that was nowhere to be seen now. Maybe I could blame it all on adrenaline rush.

HINABAESPARKLE: Thank you, sir

HINABAESPARKLE: Yes, he doesn't know about this account

HINABAESPARKLE: It is the only way I can maintain contact with my friends and family

She didn't know why she typed this one but sent it anyway. Maybe I still have time to unsend it? Fuck, he's typing.

UZUMAKI_NARUTO: He does not allow you to communicate with your family?

UZUMAKI_NARUTO: Is that part of your contract?

HINABAESPARKLE: It's complicated…

UZUMAKI_NARUTO: You should revise your relashionship contract with him Hinata.

UZUMAKI_NARUTO: He shouldn't forbid you from being in touch with them.

UZUMAKI_NARUTO: Even if you're in a D/s relationship, he should respect you and allow you that kind of freedom

Hinata felt her body stiffen. She was already disclosing too much information. Infatuation or not, he's still a complete stranger.

HINABAESPARKLE: Unfortunately, things around here work differently.

UZUMAKI_NARUTO: Then why don't you break up with him?

There it was. The million dollar question. Hinata considered not answering him but her fingers typed anyways.

HINABAESPARKLE: The contract is between my father and Toneri.

HINABAESPARKLE: I'm only trying to keep them safe.

Hinata noticed Naruto didn't respond right away. She thought about deleting these last messages but once again, too late.

She sat there for ten minutes waiting for him to say something, but nothing happened. Her mind kept formulating hypotheses as to why he was taking so long, and she figured he either thought she was messing with him or that he was too shocked by that last statement.

Hinata quickly realized how her messages could lead to him thinking her father sold her to Toneri, which wasn't the case at all.

And she was right. Naruto started to pace around his bedroom thinking how a father could do that to his daughter. What kind of sick person was he? And what the fuck does she mean by 'trying to keep them safe'?

Naruto, regaining control of his emotions, figured that there had to be a better explanation to this.

UZUMAKI_NARUTO: Tomorrow.

UZUMAKI_NARUTO: You and I, lunch.

HINABAESPARKLE: I don't think I can, sir

A cocky grin formed on his lips before he sent the last message.

UZUMAKI_NARUTO: Good thing I wasn't asking :)


Hinata knew she fucked up. Naruto must be thinking my father is some kind of sex trafficker. Shit. Shit. Shit. She had seen his message but didn't reply. How the hell am I going to make an excuse for going out tomorrow? Toneri is going to find out about me talking to Naruto then he's going to take revenge on my father and God only knows what he'll do to me then. Her mind kept playing out scenarios that got her even more stressed. Her chest tightened and tears were already streaming down her face.

She started to feel like she couldn't breathe and before stepping out onto the balcony she called her friend Ino.

The blonde had helped control her anxiety in the past.

They met three years ago in Toneri's home country, where they had gone to an BDSM private party and she had had an anxiety attack and Ino was the one who helped her get through it and hide the episode form everyone.

Ino is a renown psychiatrist and from that moment on they had become really good friends. The blonde was the only one who knew Hinata's secret. The incident at the party was really stressful for the bluenette and Ino had convinced her to tell her the truth and she did.

Hinata waited and hoped that her friend would still be up at one in the morning. Breathing was getting more difficult and she curled up in one of the chairs there.

"Hey Hina." The blonde answered cheerfully, wiggling her brows. "Got any news?" Ino was waiting for Hinata to tell her about her most recent follower on Insta but upon hearing her let out a sob she dropped the medical files she was reviewing and talked to her soothingly. "In through your nose and out through the mouth. Deep breaths sweety."

Ino waited for Hinata to control her breathing and encouraged her to talk. "Tell me what happened. Was it the man you live with?" She knew from past experience that if she mentioned Toneri's name it would only aggravate her condition.

"N-No-No." Hinata tried to focus on Ino's voice but her mind kept reminding her of the texts she sent and what Naruto had said. "He knows. He k-knows."

For a moment there Ino's heart stopped. If Toneri had found out about Hinata visiting Naruto this morning and some possible messages between them, she was in grave danger. "Hinata," Ino put on her coat and moved to the entrance of her house to pick up her keys. "Where are you now?"

"Balcony. Penthouse." Ino dropped her keys and held tight to her phone. "Sweetie, keep talking to me alright? Let's talk this through." Fearing the worst, the blonde raced out of the house towards her car.

"I-I told Naruto about the contract." Right as Ino was about to start the engine she stopped. "W-we we-were talking through Insta an-and he ma-made so-some ques-questions and n-now he-he must be thinking the worst."

Ino relaxed in her seat. Closing her eyes for a moment she told Hinata to keep talking. "He asked if-if I had a contract with-" She let out another sob and Ino preventing her from speaking his name said, "And you told him your dad was the one who signed, right?" Ino's teal eyes kept looking everywhere, worried about her friend.

Hinata nodded her head, even tough Ino couldn't see her. From her silence, the blonde understood that her hunch was right. Putting her seatbelt on once more and moving her call with Hinata to the car speakers she pulled off her driveway.

"We're having lunch tomorrow, but I don't know if I-I'll be able to g-go through with it." Hinata managed to control her stutter and pressed her forehead against her knees. Her waist length hair enveloped her and she stayed in that position for a while.

"Do you want me to come with you? Or at least, give you a ride there?"

Ino cursed her stupid idea of asking Sakura to follow Naruto with Hinata's account. She had forgotten about his persistence and inability to let go of a subject he found curious. If he found out about everything, he would do anything he could to help Hinata. But Toneri was too possessive to not eventually realize that something was going on. It would involve carefull planing between them all to pull something off.

A mess. That's what this all was. A total mess.

"Yes, please." Hinata's breathing was returning to normal and her mind, although bringing up again her stupid actions and all the possible outcomes, gradually stopped harassing her. "Thank you Ino, really."

"No problem sweety. You know I'm here for you any time you need me." Ino kept driving until she saw her final destination a couple of blocks away. "Now, go wash that pretty face of yours, do some more breathing exercises, and if you see that you really can't get any sleep, take half of one of the pills I gave you, 'kay?"

Once she parked the car, she sat there for another twenty minutes, guiding Hinata and making sure she was alright. Once Hinata said she was all set and comfy in bed, they rehearsed a bit what their excuse would be for tomorrow and said their goodbyes.

Ino then walked to the front door and rang the bell.

An exhausted Naruto Uzumaki opened the door and frowned once he saw who was at his front door at two in the morning.

"We need to talk."


As promised, Ino showed up around twelve and picked up a much calmer Hinata. Toneri gave her a side eye once the blonde hugged the pale eyed beauty but said nothing about their closeness. "I want her home at three. We have plans tonight."

"Don't worry, she'll be here on time." Ino tried to hide her disgust in her smile but anyone could see that she was incredibly failing. "Shall we? Kurenai has a very busy schedule."

"Don't forget the full list of names of the clients and people who work at that studio." Toneri shifted his glare from Ino to Hinata, who nodded.

The makeup Hinata had put on helped her conceal the dark bags under her eyes and the overall puffiness. She was wearing a much more conservative look than the day before. Instead of regular yoga pants and sports bra to match, she wore a lavender tracksuit that concealed her figure.

Not only cause Toneri had demanded it but also because she didn't feel like thinking too much about what she would wear. The pill she took the night before still left her a bit groggy, but she hid the melancholy well.

Unbeknown to Hinata, Ino had stayed up until four a.m talking to Naruto about her and how delicate her situation was. She hadn't given away all the details, that's something Hina has to do, but told him the basics. Including a few episodes where Toneri's obsession led Hinata to the hospital. He had yelled and cursed the entire time, but in the end, he understood what Ino was trying to tell him.

He vowed to Ino that he would help Hinata, feelings aside, he couldn't bear to watch her suffer anymore and was going to do what he could to help. Even if it meant risking his safety, he wouldn't allow that man to continue abusing Hinata.

Naruto heard Ino's car in the driveway and went to greet them. He did his best to put on a cheerful version of himself, even tough he wanted to break something. Or someone.

"Hello ladies, welcome to my humble abode." He opened the door for them to enter. Ino rolled her eyes and hugged Hinata, whispering something he couldn't hear. The girl nodded her head and smiled to her friend, watching her car leave.

Naruto noticed her bulky outfit but said nothing about it. Summer was coming to an end, but it was still warm enough for her to not be wearing the hoodie.

"Hi-na-ta." Her lavender eyes didn't meet his, but he saw the rosiness of her cheeks. "Do you want something to drink?"

"No, sir." He almost wanted to laugh. Every time she spoke to him, she added sir to almost every sentence that escaped those plump lips.

"Hinata, you're not my Sub and I'm not you Dom so, you can call me Naruto, okay?" He wanted to say for now but held his tongue. He could see she was still shaken up from yeasterday's events.

Her head lifted slightly, and he could he the small thank you smile. "Okay, Na-ru-to." He smiled hearing her pronounce his name the same way he did hers and let out a small chuckle.

"Do you like ramen?" He guided her out of the foyer into the open plan kitchen and he noticed her taking in every single detail she could. "Cause it's one of the only things I can cook and it's kinda my specialty, actually." He gave her a flirty wink and delighted in seeing her redden once more. I wonder if the flush is limited to her face. He tried to shake those kind of thoughts from his head, but it seemed impossible.

Hinata was too focused in watching him move through the spacious kitchen to do anything other than shake her head up and down. Naruto was wearing black cargo pants and a simple white t-shirt with a red swirl in between his shoulderblades. Hinata watched as he took out two bowls from one of the cabinets and, as he did, his shirt rode up and she caught a glimpse of his lower abs. It instantly reminded of the damned picture she had liked and felt a shiver down her spine. Her mind started to develop some fantasies, but those were quickly drowned by the memories of the previous night.

Before she could indulge in sweet fantasies about the blond Adonis, they needed to talk. She needed to set boundaries and try and explain what she had meant in her last message.

Naruto saw that she was momentarily distracted and placed one of the ramen bowls in front of her on the kitchen island. "Sit." He commanded, since Hinata hadn't moved from her spot, to claim one of the island stools.

"I hope you enjoy." He handed her the chopsticks and when their fingers brush, both could feel the electricity down their bodies. They quickly retracted their hands and blushed.

"Thank you very much, Naruto." She gave him an even bigger smile and dived him. She let out a small moan once she tasted the food and closed her eyes savoring it. It's so fucking good. She hadn't eaten ramen in ages, since Toneri claimed it wasn't appropriate food for her to consume.

Naruto's lower half was starting to wake once he heard her moan. One, because he had never received this kind of reaction from his cooking's and Second, because it was her reacting that way.

Naruto had never, ever, been this enraptured by a girl he knew so little about. Heck, he knew close to nothing about her. Only that she was in a loveless, fucked up relationship with a wannabe Dominant who couldn't care less about her.

"Nice to hear you like it." Naruto smirked and filled up his bowl for second round. He felt a tap on his left bicep and saw Hinata giving him puppy eyes and asking him. "Can I have another one, please sir?" His lower region stirred once more. The blond stiffened, bewitched by her loveliness and gently took the bowl from her hands.

They ate in silence; the only sound was of then either slurping noodles or drinking the broth. Both kept stealing glances at the other and if their eyes made contact, pink found its way to both their cheeks.

Once they finished eating, Hinata insisted she cleaned the dishes and he reluctantly let her. Her answering grin was worth it, tough.

When they sat together on the couch in front of the muted tv and the unlit fireplace.

Hinata was feeling nervous. The effects of the pill she took was wearing off and she knew what kind of conversation was about to come.

"So," Naruto noticed her nervousness and took out his phone from his pocket. "Why Hinabaesparkle?"

There was a pregnant pause before she answered. "What?" She went through many scenarios in her head as to how this awkward conversation about her situation would start, but she never thought he would ask about her Instagram handle.

"I never expected you to have such a…" Words failed him as he struggled to find the right adjective. "quirky username."

Hinata's blank expression was soon take over by crinckled eyes and happy laughter. Once again, she managed to bewitch him with her melodious laugh.

"My sister picked it." She nodded her head a few times looking towards one of the small windows above his tv. "I've had that account since she was like, twelve?" Memory seemed to fail her as to when her sister gave birth to the username, but then it came to her.

"My little pony." She said. She saw his blonde brows furrow and gave him a small smile, basking in his confusion.

"My little pony?" Naruto asked incredulous.

"My little pony." She reassured. "She used to be obsessed about it. Hanabi has this huge figurine collection and that year I gifted her a limited edition of Twilight Sparkle and she went crazy about it." She laughed again remembering her then twelve year old sister's eyes twinkle and the pure adoration she had written all over her face. "After that, every time she watched that show she said I reminded her of Twilight Sparkle and when I was struggling to find something, she came up with that."

A feeling of nostalgy settled over her. Sadness also founds its way to her heart. "We haven't seen each other for two years."

"You miss her a lot."

"You have no idea how much." Seeing tears pool in her eyes Naruto pulled her closer to him and let her head lean on his left shoulder. Combing his fingers through her dark blue silky strands, he was certain he would be doing everything he could to help Hinata get rid of that freak.

He felt her snuggle closer to him as a few tears escaped her pale eyes, staining her flushed cheeks, and he held her tighter, careful not to hurt her.

Kissing Hinata's forehead, his lips remained there as he vowed, he would free her from whatever contract Toneri used to bind himself to her.

"I promise you Hinata." His hands lifted her head, cerulean blue meeting lavender.

"And I never go back on my word."


A/N: Hello everyone! First things first, thank you all for all the amazing reviews! *squeals with joy* I'm glad you seem to be enjoying this fic and you can rest assured… the fun part is about to start very soon… *wink* *wink*

This chapter had a little bit more drama than the first two, but I felt I couldn't finish without some fluff so here you go, dramaticly fluffy chapter three.

I tried to base Hinata's anxiety attack from personal experience. I too sometimes fret over what I do/say/write and that leads to a lot of anxiety attacks, but rest assured, I haven't had one of those for quite some time.

Chapter four will soon be released as well (normally when I post a chapter, I'm already finishing writing or editing the next one). And since inspiration has been my best friend, I'll be taking advantage of it. Maybe tomorrow or the day after? mAyBE

A quick side note, I play a lot of sims and have been spending quite some time building houses and looking at floorplans and I found one that matches perfectly with what I had envisioned for Naruto's house to look like in this fic so, I'll be leaving the link in my profile for those if you who are curious about it!

Until next time!
