"Stupid key..."

After giving his mission report to Kakashi, Naruto walked the snowy streets home and retrieved his apartment key from his pocket, only to accidentally drop it into the snow outside his front door. As the key seemed to magically evade his line of sight, he grumbled continuously and became more frustrated with each passing moment. To make matters worse, the evening sky had already grown quite dim, certainly working against his effort to find it.

"Dammit, it's freezing out here, and I need to call Hinata!"

"Ugh, where did it go!?" He said aloud, his patience growing thin. "Hmm... ah, there you are!"

Suddenly, just as he located the key and picked it up, the handle clicked from the inside and the door swung wide open.

"Struggle much?" A beautiful pearly-eyed girl said teasingly with a happy smile.

"Hinata!"

Naruto dropped his travel gear and nearly tackled his girlfriend in a tight hug. Hinata squealed happily and wrapped her legs around him as he lifted her off the ground. Then, she shuddered in his arms as a cold gust of wind blew into the apartment.

"C-Close the door, it's cold!"

"Sorry!"

Naruto set her down before retrieving his travel gear once more and closing the door behind him as he stepped back inside. He dropped his bags on the floor, and then it was Hinata's turn to embrace him first.

"You're home!" She said cheerfully with her head against his chest. Naruto pulled her closer before leaning down and kissing the top of her head. After an agonizing two weeks away from his lover (and everyone else, since he had been sent on a solo mission), there was nothing more welcoming than receiving a warm embrace as soon as he stepped into his home.

When Naruto shakily tightened his arms around her even more, Hinata took on a worried and confused expression as she felt his body begin to tremble in her embrace. After a moment, he started to sniffle a bit, and eventually Hinata felt his tears landing on her oversized T-shirt that she had "borrowed" from his wardrobe.

"N-Naruto? Is everything okay? Why are you crying, love?"

Naruto pulled away, and after wiping his tears, he met her concerned face with a smile.

"I'm sorry, it's just... I really missed you, Hinata. I hated being away from you. I was miserable the entire time I was gone. All I wanted was to stop what I was doing and come straight home to you."

It was true. Depressing, perhaps, but true. Every night, when he had decided to settle down for the day and get some rest, no matter where he was, he would make a strong effort to find the most open spot that would give him the clearest view of the moonlit sky. He would stare at the moon and constantly be reminded of Hinata's bright eyes and the way they locked with his when it was actually her staring back at him. And every night, almost like clockwork, there would come a moment when he would think to himself...

"What the hell am I doing? I told her we would spend as much time together as possible. I shouldn't be here. I should be at home with her, where I belong. This mission is simple anyway! Why does it have to be so long? Why does it have to be me!?"

And when those moments struck, it took every bit of discipline Naruto possessed to not pack his things and head straight back to Konoha.

"You're ridiculous." Kurama would tell him.

When he completed his mission and finally returned to the village, he had hurriedly rushed his way through town in an attempt to get his mission report out of the way and back to Hinata as soon as possible. Now that he had finally returned to her, he was overwhelmed by this sense of reunion. He hadn't felt this way since they first reunited after the village had been rebuilt, when they had their first date at the ramen shop. And even though that wasn't all that long ago, the feelings between them had grown infinitely more powerful since then. Smiling down at his beloved and still fighting back sniffles, nothing could have possibly prepared him for the emotions of finally coming home to her after such a painfully long separation.

Naruto took her in his arms again and held her tightly, as if he would be stolen away from her again if his embrace loosened even a little. "Is that silly of me? That I was pining for you the moment I stepped through the village gates?"

"N-No, of course not! It's not silly at all. Actually, it makes me really happy to know that I was on your mind. And believe me, I was so bored and lonely without you, that no matter what I was doing, I couldn't stop myself from counting down the minutes to when I would see you again. I really missed you too, Naruto."

He let out a sigh of contentment and felt his emotions begin to calm.

"I'm so sorry I had to go away for so long, especially right after we..." Naruto trailed off. For some reason, he couldn't bring himself to say the words just yet, even though they both vividly remembered what took place just a couple nights before he left. He was incredibly thankful that the universe had brought them together... however, sometimes it also seemed to be working against them.

Hinata pulled away this time and looked up at him with a loving and sympathetic expression. She then stood on her tip toes and kissed him softly, finally reliving the sensation of his lips against hers. When she pulled away again, she locked her eyes with his and smiled brightly.

"It's okay, Naruto. I know you didn't plan for it to happen that way."

"Still, I hate that the timing was so bad." Naruto said, still feeling a small amount of guilt. Suddenly, however, he remembered something that had made this entire mission worth it. "I do have good news, though!"

"Me too! But, um, y-you first."

"Kakashi Sen-... excuse me, Lord Sixth... said that unless it's an emergency that requires my expertise, he's going to give me a few weeks off from missions. That means you and I get to spend time together with no interruptions!"

Hinata's face lit up with joy and excitement. When he returned from his last mission, after recovering from his poisoning, he happily declared that they would spend as much time as possible together... only for him to be sent on a two week long mission just a few days later. She knew he wasn't to blame for that, since every Shinobi was on call at all times. Even she could be sent away like that at any moment. Still, Naruto's departure had been awful timing.

But now, she felt extremely relieved to know that he was home for good, at least for a few weeks straight.

"The only downside is... he wants me to read all of these during my time off." Naruto continued. He opened one of his bags to reveal a rather large amount of books inside, undoubtedly more study material to prepare him for his future as Hokage.

"Apparently, he's going to give me my first test in a couple weeks, so I can't procrastinate for too long. These books are totally boring, but at least I don't have to read those weird books that Pervy Sage wrote. Kakashi always seems to have his face buried in one!" Naruto joked, already forgetting Kakashi's new title.

He laughed to himself as he remembered barging into Kakashi's office to give his mission report, only to find the newest Hokage once again indulging in one of Jiraiya's smut novels.

"Um... they're... actually... a pretty good read." Hinata said awkwardly, her cheeks turning a deep red.

"You... You've read them?"

Her face flushed even more. "W-Would you be surprised if I said I recently purchased one of every book?"

Naruto's eyes widened even further, his mouth agape and slowly turning into a crazy grin.

"I can't believe what I'm hearing! You read that kinda stuff?"

"N-No! I mean, n-not normally... I mean... well it's just that... since you were gone for two whole weeks, I-I was thinking about you a lot and I kinda got curious. I decided to read the first one, and then the second... and eventually I had read them all. T-They're on a shelf in my room..."

"Dammit, why am I stuttering? They're just books. People read books all the time! But, still... those books are different. And he knows I was thinking about him while I was reading them..."

Hinata almost seemed just like her old self again. She avoided his eyes and touched her index fingers together, her cheeks continuing to burn bright. She knew she shouldn't have been so embarrassed, especially after how confident she had grown around her lover, but reading those smut-filled books while he was away just felt so... naughty.

Her breath hitched as Naruto gently grabbed her chin and forced her to meet his gaze.

"She's so adorable when she's embarrassed."

"I see, so you were thinking about me in that kind of way."

"I-I couldn't help it! I just missed you so much, a-and I-"

Naruto interrupted her with a loving kiss, to which Hinata immediately melted into. As embarrassed as she was, she could still feel her desire for him growing more powerful by the second as their lips slow danced together.

Two. Whole. Weeks.

Jiraiya's books had been pleasant distractions from her boredom and pining, but as a result from reading such explicit literature, her mind was filled with new "ideas" that she couldn't wait to explore with Naruto. As soon as she had finished the last book, she had longed for him in his entirety more than ever before.

"Hey..." He said softly as he pulled away from their kiss. Hinata nervously looked up at him and met his piercing eyes. He smiled warmly before moving his hand from her chin to the back of her neck, gently pulling her forehead against his. Their eyes closed as they both relived this sweet yet powerful connection. Hinata especially loved when he did this and cherished the way it made her heart flutter.

"There's no need to be embarrassed, Hina. Did I mention that I was on a solo mission? Two whole weeks by myself. I had quite a lot of time to think about you too, ya know. So many thoughts, and no way to share them with you."

His voice was a mix between sweet, longing, and tantalizing, as if he genuinely wanted her to know that she had been in his thoughts, but not in just the innocent ways. He had barely touched her so far, and yet his words alone were already setting Hinata's heart ablaze.

He slowly pulled his forehead away from hers and looked her in the eyes once more. "Hinata... I don't... I don't ever want to leave you again."

Naruto's voice was growing more coarse with every word he spoke. He felt a raging fire of wants and needs burning in his mind at the moment, the result of him breaking away from his addictive lover for as long as he did. Part of him wanted to hold her close, tell her how much he loved her, and just peacefully enjoy her presence for as long as he could.

The other part of him, however, was telling him to drag her to the bedroom and make up for his time away by pleasing her until she cried out his name so loud that the whole village could hear. Looking down at her, his eyes scanned across his shirt that she was currently wearing, and even with how loose it was on her slim figure, he quickly realized that she wasn't wearing a bra. His hand twitched as he felt the urge to grab firmly onto her breasts, to squeeze them through the shirt's fabric and marvel at how soft and heavy they were in his grasp. Looking further down, the shirt was long enough to cover her rear end, and while he could tell she wasn't wearing pants, he wasn't sure what she was wearing underneath, or if there was anything underneath at all. A quick lift of her shirt would be all it took to find out...

It was a battle with himself to not give in to his needs so quickly, a battle he was slowly but surely losing.

Hinata, seemingly aware of his conflicting desires, wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him even closer so that their lips were almost touching. The nervousness in her half-lidded eyes was gone as she met his dreamy gaze.

Her heart skipped a beat when she remembered what she was supposed to be telling him, that her father was not only aware of their relationship but that he had also given them his approval as long as he got to speak with Naruto.

She so badly wanted to tell Naruto about the conversation she had with Hiashi earlier today and the good news that arose with it, but at the same time, she couldn't bring herself to interrupt this moment with the man in front of her. The way he was looking at her, the passion and longing in his eyes... it made everything else fade away entirely. It was only the two of them, here, in this room.

She decided she would talk to Naruto about her father... after a proper welcoming. With her arms still wrapped around the back of his neck, fighting the urge to close what little distance was left, she softly spoke to him in a way that only intensified the fire within him.

"I don't want you to leave me either. I want you to stay here with me, always. But if you ever have to go, no matter what, no matter where you are or where you end up, I will always be here... waiting for you."

Naruto let out a pained breath and finally broke before connecting their lips again. If his eyes hadn't been closed, he probably would have let loose another couple of tears. Her love just had that kind of effect on him, a radiance of passion that was so powerful it almost hurt from how amazing it felt.

With their kiss retaining its slow and loving mood, he still wasn't quite sure where this was about to go yet. All he knew was that he wanted to be here with Hinata forever, so that he could always be reminded of just how much she loved him.

"I love you more than anything, Naruto Uzumaki."

Those words from Hinata had echoed in his mind ever since the night they became one, and when he would remember her voice and the way her body moved with his as she said them, it would send a wave of unrelenting need throughout his entire being. Then he would curse to himself and wish he was back home with her.

As much as he loved the innocent connections and the wholesome moments that they shared, he could never drown out the events of that night and the everlasting effect it had on their bond. With both of them having experienced such a private and soul-binding level of intimacy together, Naruto wondered how they could ever take one look at each other and not instantly need to feel that intense passion a million times over again. How could things ever be the same as before? How would they ever be able to keep their hands off of each other and ignore that crippling desire for even a second?

He was so lost in their kiss that it wasn't until he felt her nails against his skin that he realized she had snuck her hand under his shirt and was letting it roam across the front of his body. Dropping his hands to her hips and pulling her even closer, Naruto felt another wave of temptation course through his fingers. Her touch alone was enough to tell him exactly what she wanted, and he was just on the verge of telling her too.

"Hina... fuck, I missed you so much." Naruto whispered huskily, sending shivers down her spine. He seemed to have no idea that his voice alone could drive her mad with arousal.

"Are we really doing this right now? I mean... would it be too soon? He hasn't even been home for five minutes yet... We haven't even stepped away from the front door... But, still, I can see it in his eyes, and I'm sure he can see it in mine. Oh, how I've missed you, my love."

"Naruto... show me how much you missed me."

Her words alone could have meant many things. Her eyes, however, silently spoke to him with a look that couldn't have possibly meant anything else...

"I want you to fuck me, Naruto."

And just like that, the conflict of desires in his head settled as the answer became clear, and he knew exactly where he wanted this to go.

Hinata gasped as she suddenly felt his lips attack her neck and his hands grab firmly onto her rear end, groping and squeezing her however he wanted. As his hands massaged all over her soft glute muscles, he finally realized that she was not wearing any underwear, and that the only thing stopping him from seeing every perfect inch of her was his own shirt. Had she planned this? Or had she just decided to get very comfortable while she waited for him to come home?

"Is this okay, Hina?" He whispered against the crook of her neck. She cried out softly as soon as his lips found her skin again. Along with an occasional bite, she could feel him sucking hard and purposely leaving marks behind to claim what belonged to him.

"Y-Yes, Naruto. I love the way you touch me. I've waited two weeks just to feel your hands on me again."

"I won't make you wait any longer, not for anything. All you have to do... is tell me what you want."

"I think you know what I want, and I know you want it too." She said with that same sexy giggle that she knew he loved to hear.

"Ask, and you shall receive." He spoke with a low growl. Of course, he already knew exactly what both of them wanted, but hearing her explicitly ask for it was far too satisfying to do without.

"I want you to fuck me, Naruto."

Grabbing a firm hold of her bum, Naruto swiftly lifted her off the ground and started to walk further into the dimly lit apartment with her in his arms. Something unholy awoke within Hinata as she remembered how much she loved when his strong hands put her body so helplessly under his control. Feeling his clothed manhood press against her as she wrapped her legs around him, she leaned down and pressed her lips to his, forcefully slipping her tongue inside his mouth and ravaging the man she loved so fiercely.

She became slightly confused when she felt him sit down sooner than she expected, and when she opened her eyes, she found herself straddling Naruto's lap as he sat on the couch. She wasn't surprised that they hadn't made it to his bed; after all, the bedroom seemed like such a long journey from where they were. They simply couldn't wait that long.

A small salt lamp in the corner of the living room was their only source of light, leaving an ambient orange glow across the whole room. Hinata smiled internally as she recognized the familiar setting. With the salt lamp emitting colors similar to that of a campfire, it almost seemed like they were already back at the top of Hokage Rock.

"That shirt looks even better on you than it does on me." Naruto said with a lust-filled chuckle. She could see his eyes darting back and forth between the faint outlines of her breasts, and when she felt his hands slip under the shirt and slowly ascend up her sides, she knew it was only a matter of time before he pulled it off of her.

"Hehe, I hope you don't mind me borrowing it. I figured I'd get comfy while I waited for you."

"I don't mind at all. It warms my heart to know that you're comfortable here."

Hinata leaned down and connected their lips again as his hands continued to slowly lift up her shirt. When he couldn't go any further, they broke away from their kiss just long enough for him to pull it over her head and throw it across the room, leaving her completely nude in his lap. She let out a soft moan against his lips when she felt his hands latch onto her chest, and without even thinking about it, her own hands began to work at the button on his pants.

There wasn't much she could do to undress him while she was sitting on him, so she broke away from their kiss before slowly descending off the couch until her knees dropped to the floor in between his legs. When her face was merely inches away from his groin, a devilish smile tugged at her lips as she took notice of the bulge in front of her. She looked up at his face and was about to silently ask permission, but when she found him already removing the clothes from his upper body, she decided that she didn't need approval and eagerly began taking off his pants and underwear.

Naruto's breath hitched when she finally grabbed ahold of his manhood, and as he watched her face come closer, he could feel his member twitching in anticipation. Hinata looked up at him with a smile that was both sweet and mischievous. She opened her mouth, and just when he prepared to feel her engulf him, she instead started to tease him by slowly trailing light kisses along the length of him, just barely brushing her lips against his erection. Every time her lips made contact, he felt his hardness throb once again.

"F-Fuck... Hina... d-don't be such a t-tease." Naruto said in between shudders.

Hinata giggled for a moment, thoroughly enjoying his groans of sexual frustration growing stronger as his patience dwindled. Finally, she decided to let off on the teasing and took the entirety of his erection in her mouth, proceeding to please him just how she knew he liked it. As both his lover and companion, she felt happy, perhaps even obligated to treat him to such pleasure and help him unwind after spending so much time away on a mission. It was at that moment that she decided, that anytime Naruto had to spend some time away, he would always come home to a proper welcoming.

Naruto threw his head back and tried to hold out for as long as he could. Who knew that after just two weeks away, he could become so sensitive to her touch? Every time her tongue swirled around the tip of his manhood, he desperately wanted to empty himself into her mouth, but he knew that wasn't an option. He wanted more, and he wasn't going to let her finish him off so soon.

"Hina, you ready? Please, I need you so badly. I can't wait m-much longer."

Hinata smiled to herself. Last time, it had been her begging for more while he pleased her. She enjoyed the role reversal, and she felt incredible satisfaction knowing that she could make him beg for her just as easily.

Without saying a word, she stood back up and climbed on top of him, straddling his lap and holding herself just barely above his twitching member. She gasped softly as his hands instinctively grabbed onto her waist, and she shuddered at how ticklish it felt when he started to gently trace his fingertips along her hypnotizing curves.

"Um... I was thinking, m-maybe we could try it like this this time?" Hinata said.

"Hehe, you've been planning this, then?"

Hinata blushed for a moment. He wasn't wrong by any means. After discovering several different sex positions throughout her reading, her being on top was one that made her incredibly anxious. With her being in control, she feared that she might do it the wrong way and that Naruto wouldn't enjoy it. At the same time, however, this position was one she had wanted to try the most. Naruto had done all the hard work and had been so good to her during their first time, and she couldn't help but feel that it was her obligation to take the reigns and return that favor to him. Even if it made her nervous, she wouldn't let that stop her from at least giving it a try.

"M-Maybe just a little... So, what do you think? I-I know it's only our second time, but it's something I've been wanting to try."

"I'm always down to try something new. If that's how you want to do this, then I'm all for it." Naruto replied with a loving smile. "As long as you're comfortable."

Hinata smiled brightly back at him before softly pressing her lips against his. If he wanted to, he could've easily flipped them over and taken full control. He could've had his way with her however he wanted. But instead, he chose to listen to her, to hear her thoughts and show her that they mattered to him. Even after she had successfully driven him mad with lust, he was still so loving and compassionate with her. No matter what, no matter how much arousal clouded his brain, no matter how thin his patience grew, he never put his own desires before hers. Sure, they would play rough sometimes, but in the end, he was always as gentle and careful with her as he could be. That caring personality that never became corrupted by anything else was perhaps what she cherished most about him.

"I love you so much. Do you know that?" She whispered softly.

"I know, Hinata. And I love you. You know that too, don't you?"

There was a familiar look of adoration in his bright blue eyes. Any time he gave her that look, she could see and feel his love shining through and touching her heart.

"I know, Naruto. I can see it in your eyes."

"Good. I don't ever want you to doubt that."

"I never have." She replied, returning his loving smile.

Naruto gently pulled her into a soft yet passionate kiss that warmed her heart and calmed her mind. After a moment, she overcame her nervousness and reached down to align him with her opening. When she felt the tip against the folds of her womanhood, she slowly began to sit down until she could feel his erection sliding into her.

As she lowered herself onto him, she noticed that the slight pain she felt before made only brief appearances this time around before disappearing completely. She effortlessly allowed his manhood to delve further into her, and when she finally felt its full length touching her depths in its entirety, they both let out a small, content moan of satisfaction against each other's lips.

Wanting to look him in the eye as they became one again, Hinata pulled away from their kiss and wrapped her arms around his neck, holding him very close. Even in the dim lighting, his cerulean, half-lidded eyes retained their piercing color, and she could see bright red on his cheeks.

Starting off very slowly, she began to raise her hips up just until his member almost escaped, only to lower herself back down until he filled her completely once more.

"Are you okay, Naruto?"

"Y-Yeah, I'm good. What about you? Does it hurt this time?"

"No, it only did for a second, and I wouldn't even call it painful. S-So, does it feel good? I mean, am I doing it okay?"

"That feels incredible, Hinata. F-Fuck..."

His words and body language told her that she was doing far better than she thought she would. With her confidence dramatically increased, she began to move her hips just slightly faster against him.

"You wanna know a secret?" She whispered seductively.

"Tell me, Hina."

"While you were gone, I couldn't help but think of you in all different ways, and at night, I couldn't fall asleep without wanting to touch myself first. There were a few times I had to scream into my pillow because I made myself cum so hard thinking about you."

"R-Really? Hina, that's the hottest fucking thing you've ever said to me. I wish it could've been me, in your room with you late at night, making you cum so hard like that. I just might have to sneak over some time and make that happen..."

"If you did, I wouldn't be able to let you leave. We'd be up all night."

"That sounds like fun. I'll definitely keep that in mind."

Hinata imagined herself laying in bed one night, thoughts of their intimacy preventing her from sleeping. When she least expected it, Naruto would surprise her by carefully knocking on her window with a crazy grin on his face. She'd let him in, and then they would make silent yet passionate love nonstop until just before the sun came up. Unfortunately, he would end up having to sneak back out, but in the end, it would be their own little secret that her family would never know about.

Thoughts of such risky fantasies excited her even further, and as her arousal spiked, she could feel hot pleasure collecting in the pit of her stomach as they made love.

"F-Fuck, that's really good... I missed this. I missed you, Naruto. I'm so happy you're home with me again, and that you're here to stay."

Naruto straightened his gaze with hers and mimicked her words from earlier.

"Show me how much you missed me."

Immediately understanding what he meant, Hinata began riding him at a quicker pace, moving her hands from behind his neck to his shoulders in order to stabilize herself. Naruto tightened his grip on her waist and pushed her down with every stroke, causing her hips to connect with his a little harder.

As her breathing progressively grew heavier, Naruto could feel her nails start to dig into his shoulders, as well as her canal occasionally pulsating around his hardness. Every time her wet folds met the base of his erection, he heard a slight squelching sound as her slippery fluids were pressed against him. This particular sound greatly increased his arousal. Not only could he feel her pleasure increasing, it also felt like he could literally hear her body enjoying its entwinement with his.

When her leg started to twitch a little, he could tell that she was thoroughly enjoying the sensations from this new position and that she would soon reach her climax.

"You gonna cum for me, Hina?"

"I'm s-so close, N-Naruto..."

He saw something change in her eyes before she leaned down and whispered softly in his ear.

"Fuck me harder."

Her words awoke primal urges within him as he watched his lover approaching nirvana. Suddenly, he shifted his feet and planted them firmly into the floor, giving his hips enough leverage to match her rhythm by thrusting up into her every time she descended back down on him.

Hinata cried out loudly as he ultimately took full control, and when his hand came up to lovingly cup her cheek, she felt a sudden urge to take his thumb in her mouth. She had done this once before, and while it caught him off guard, he seemed to have enjoyed it at the time. Quickly letting her thoughts take over, she took his thumb in her mouth and looked him in the eye as she swirled her tongue around it.

He responded by swinging his manhood into her with more aggression, and as Hinata felt the ball of heat growing hotter and more intense between her legs, she knew that it would erupt at any moment and send waves of bliss across her body and mind.

"Naruto, I'm... oh fuck... N-Naruto!"

Naruto felt the familiar sensation of her canal contracting around his member as she finally climaxed. He continued his work, determined to keep her going until she couldn't hold on any longer. Every upward thrust resulted in a wet slapping sound, and eventually, he could feel her fluids leaking down her thighs and onto his hips. If it was anything like their first time, they had to be making an absolute mess on his couch, but this intimate moment would be worth every second of cleanup that came after.

As she continued to call out his name with her body convulsing on top of him, Naruto moved his hand from her cheek to the back of her neck and pulled her down to him before whispering huskily into her ear.

"I love when you cum for me, you know that? I love the way your body shakes. I love the way your pussy tightens around me while I fuck you. I love the way you scream my name. I fucking love it, Hinata."

Her body continued shuddering, whether from his vulgar words in her ear or from her tidal wave of pleasure, she wasn't quite sure. She bit down hard on his shoulder in an effort to suppress her loud moans, but it made practically no difference. Naruto himself had been grunting almost ever since he took over, but it wasn't like his normal groans... It was aggressive, possessive even, something more primal than just an exhale of pleasure.

Eventually, however, she felt his demeanor change as his grunts turned into soft moans, and then into desperate whimpers. She could tell that, like her, he didn't want this moment to end, and that he was slowly failing at delaying his orgasm.

She pulled her face away from his shoulder, and when she locked her gaze with his, she marveled at how beautiful his eyes looked when they were filled with this kind of passion.

"Hina, I-I'm not gonna last m-much longer..."

She could barely hear his sputtered whispers over the sounds of her own cries of pleasure, but she was just able to make out what he said. And then... Hinata suddenly found herself at a dilemma. Did she dare ask him to finish inside her again? That was supposed to be a one-time thing, but it had been so intimate for both of them that she almost didn't think she could go without it.

As Naruto continued to ravish the depths of her, her climax seemed to last forever, infinitely becoming more enjoyable and not dwindling in intensity even a little no matter how numb her brain felt. She had completely lost track of time and had no idea how far into her orgasm she was. She felt intoxicated and found it impossible to think logically or sensibly. She couldn't even remember how far along she was in her menstrual cycle, or whether or not today was a "safe" day. The only thing on her mind was Naruto filling her with his warm release just one more time, and during this moment of bliss, she couldn't have cared less about whatever consequences might await them.

It took an incredible amount of focus, but after a moment of intense concentration, she was finally able to determine how far along she was in her monthly cycle.

"I think... yeah, I was ovulating last week while he was gone... so today should be safe."

Naruto's words echoed in her mind, clashing with her temptation.

"If we're really only doing that this one time, you probably shouldn't tease me about it in the future. I don't know that I'd be able to resist doing it again."

Even if it was "safe", it felt a bit wrong to ask him to do such a thing, especially after they had already declared that it wouldn't happen again until they were ready for children... but the image was glued to her mind and wouldn't go away. It was calling out to her, begging her to give in to her desire. If it's so wrong, then...

"Why does it feel so fucking good?"

"N-Naruto... I w-want you to c-cum inside m-me again."

Her words were unsteady because of his thrusting, but Naruto understood very clearly what she said and what she wanted from him. He knew he wanted it too, there was no denying that, but he wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do since they had agreed on only doing it that one time.

What if she was only asking him to do it again because her pleasure was clouding her judgement? If her mind had been clear, would she have still asked him the same thing?

On the other hand... what if she hadn't said anything at all? Would he have had enough discipline and self control to willingly take the safer route, or would it have made no difference as he gave into their shared desires?

His gut was telling him to take the high road, to be smart and safe about this, while every other part of his body was commanding that he do otherwise. He felt stuck in between two options, and it was tearing him to pieces.

"Hinata... a-are you sure you want me to?"

With her body still rocking with his movements and her eyes still entranced by his gaze, she assured him that her desires were genuine. "I-I'm sure, Naruto. P-Please, I need to f-feel you like t-that again... j-just one m-more time."

Her quivering voice and moans were enough to make him want to give her everything she could ever ask for, and as he got lost in her beautiful irises, captivated by the intense yearning and need within them, he asked himself...

"How could I ever say no to her?"

He was already on the verge of giving in, and Hinata's gentle yet demanding words were all it took to sink the last nail in the coffin.

"One more time..."

Her center still pulsating as pleasure coursed through every fiber of her being, Hinata watched as Naruto's pupils slowly started to dilate, and when she realized that he was finally approaching his climax, she began to move her hips with his again. She felt it necessary to reclaim at least a little bit of control to ensure that she played a part in his final release. When his eyes widened and his moans grew unmistakably loud, she knew his time was almost up.

"Hinata, I'm gonna-"

His sentence was interrupted as Hinata forcefully pressed her lips to his.

Suddenly, she felt an unfamiliar surge of selfishness and quickly decided that the small amount of control she had taken back from him wasn't enough. Her body acted on its own, prying Naruto's hands from her waist and forcefully pinning them to the back of the couch as the rhythm of her swinging hips increased against him. She had no idea where this sudden desire to be in control came from, since she normally preferred to let Naruto take the lead, and looking down at him, she could see that he too was in a slight state of shock.

Determination flooded her thought process as soon as she realized why she was consumed with this need for power. It was one thing for Naruto to finish himself inside her... it was something entirely different for her to make him finish that way, to take what belonged to her without giving him even the slightest chance of escaping or stopping her.

She picked this position so that she could do the hard work and even the score between them, and she decided she would follow through with this goal until the very end. It didn't take long for her change of behavior to take effect, and she soon felt his abdomen start to convulse underneath her as his pleasure was finally released.

Keeping his hands pressed firmly against the couch, her fingers laced tightly with his as they both released heavy moans in between hungry kisses. When she finally felt the hot, thick fluids of his release begin to fill her canal, she started to slowly grind her hips with his, purposely contracting her walls around his swollen member with every careful stroke and eagerly draining as much of him as she could.

Naruto felt like his whole body was going to explode as they orgasmed together. Hinata had picked the perfect rhythm, every movement of her hips almost overwhelming him with how unpredictably amazing it felt. He could feel her slippery walls tightening around him with the same tempo, and he soon realized that she was intentionally trying to take as much of his release from him as possible. With his member's sensitivity progressively becoming too much to handle, and with no intention of stopping her until he absolutely couldn't take any more, he held on for dear life as a feral Hinata had her way with him.

When it was finally too much pleasure to handle, he managed to free one of his hands from her grasp before wrapping it around her waist, pulling her down to him and locking her in place until he could recompose himself. Connecting their gazes together once again, time stood still as their pounding hearts slowly began to settle and the haziness that clouded their vision began to clear.

"Holy fuck, Hinata." Naruto finally whispered.

"I don't know why I... I mean, was that okay?" She whispered back.

"I wasn't expecting that from you, but... oh my god..."

Hinata smiled and giggled softly before allowing herself to fall off of him, landing gently beside him and sitting with her back against the couch as she continued catching her breath. Naruto looked down to her, and even in the dim light, he could see beads of sweat dripping down her red face. After a moment, he realized that he too was sweating profusely and that his mouth felt very dry.

"Water. Need water."

"You want some water, Hinata?" Naruto asked when he finally remembered how to stand up.

"If you don't mind, yes please."

Hinata sat there tiredly until Naruto came back from the kitchen with two glasses of ice cold water and sat back down next to her. She sucked her beverage down quickly after realizing just how thirsty she was. When she set her empty glass down, she leaned over and lazily let her head fall onto Naruto's shoulder as he sipped his water beside her. She closed her eyes for a minute as she felt her energy slowly coming back to her, and when she opened them again, she became flustered as she took notice of the numerous bodily fluids that stood out very clearly on the couch.

"Oh, Naruto, I'm so sorry... I made a mess..."

"Hehe, we made a mess. Don't worry about it, it can always be cleaned. I'm sure this won't be the last time we get the couch dirty."

"I hope not. Everything about that was perfect, Naruto."

"I couldn't agree more. I mean, damn Hinata, the way you moved against me? The way you took over like that? Where did that even come from?"

"I-I don't know, I just... I needed you so badly, and when I felt you start to finish, I didn't want to let you go. I didn't want it to end. I didn't make you uncomfortable, did I?"

"N-No! Of course not. I just didn't expect it, ya know? It caught me off guard, but in a good way."

"I think I caught myself off guard too." Hinata said with a tired laugh. "I usually prefer to let you lead. Really, I don't know what came over me."

"Well, as happy as I am to lead, I don't mind sharing the reigns from time to time."

"I think I can work with that."

They both let out a happy laugh, incredibly satisfied with how their reunion played out.

"Hey, how about we go get cleaned up?" Naruto asked.

"I was so hoping you would say that."

When they got into the bathroom, Hinata flipped the light switch on, and after her eyes adjusted, she blinked a few times in disbelief at their reflections in the mirror. They looked like they had just been attacked by wild animals.

Hinata's once silky hair looked like it hadn't been brushed in weeks. She had purple hickeys all over her neck, and when she looked at her waist, she could see the bruised outlines of Naruto's fingers where he had been holding her so tightly.

Naruto looked even more rough. He had scratches all over his chest and shoulders, some of which had broken skin. There were even a few smaller ones on his wrists. She also noticed a painful looking bite mark that she had left on his shoulder in a failed attempt to silence her loud moans. His hair was messy as well, but that wasn't what Hinata felt guilty about.

"Oh, Naruto, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to do that to you!"

After starting the shower water, Naruto took on a confused expression as he walked over to her.

"Huh? Do what? What are you... Oh, wow, look at that." He said casually as he inspected his battle scars in the mirror. "Well, there's no need to apologize. I didn't even notice."

"How could you not notice that? Y-You're even bleeding a little..."

"Heat of the moment, I guess. Ya know... I think I kinda like it." He said as he traced his fingers along the areas that Hinata had laid claim to.

He seemed completely unbothered, perhaps even more satisfied... until he noticed the marks that he had left behind on her. "Oh shit, was I really holding you that tight? I didn't hurt you, did I?"

"It's funny, I didn't notice it either until I saw it in the mirror. But no, you didn't hurt me. If I'm being honest... I kinda like it too."

"R-Really? You're not just saying that to make me feel better, are you?"

Hinata happily stood up on her tip toes and gave him a quick kiss before flashing him a wink.

"Remember what I told you before... you don't have to be so gentle with me."

"Then I think it's safe to say that the same thing applies to you." Naruto replied with a sly grin.

Hinata giggled in response. "If you insist, then I'll definitely keep that in mind, Naruto."

After a hot, relaxing shower, the two lovers cuddled in Naruto's bed for some time, both of them trying to ignore the inevitable fact that Hinata would soon have to be going home.

"I know I've already said it a couple times, but... I'm so happy you're home, Naruto."

"Believe me, I'm just as happy as you are. And the best part is, we have the next few weeks to do whatever we want! It's just you and me, Hinata. We might've been dealt a rough start, but I'm gonna keep that promise I made about us spending time together."

"You have no idea how much I'm looking forward to that, but, don't forget about your books. You still need to study when you can."

"Ugh, don't remind me. I felt my heart sink when Kakashi handed me those bags full of books. But, even though the reading part is gonna suck, me getting to stay home with you was still the best news I've heard in a while."

Naruto's eyes suddenly widened.

"Oh, that reminds me! Didn't you say you had some good news as well? I meant to ask you about that, but we kinda... you know... got distracted."

Hinata's heart started racing when she remembered what she had yet to tell him, and as she tried to predict his reaction, she couldn't help the smile that was tugging at her lips.

"Oh, yeah... about that..."

Naruto had a dumbfounded look on his face that still hadn't gone away since Hinata had told him about her conversation with her father. After nervously walking her home, a ball of anxiety was growing larger in his chest as he reentered his now lonely apartment.

"He knows..." Naruto said aloud.

Based on everything Hinata had told him, he had nothing to worry about. If anything, he should have been overwhelmed with joy and relief. But still, his mind raced with different possibilities.

"What if Hiashi's only pretending to approve of me just so he can lure me in? If I go to talk to him tomorrow, will it really turn out to be just a friendly meeting? Or... maybe..."

His thoughts were interrupted as he took notice of the bags fulls of books that he still hadn't moved from the front door yet. Frustrated, he kicked one of the bags into the kitchen, and when it landed, a smaller bag fell out from within.

"Hm? What's this?"

As Naruto picked up the bag to inspect it, he found a note attached to the outside of it.

Naruto,

These books are not an official part of your studying. I will not be testing you on them, and they are entirely optional to read. But, since you have a girl in your life now, I thought it might be a good idea to include these as a little "bonus" to help you, should you need it, or at the very least, to provide you with entertainment if you're ever in the mood for a good read. Regardless of how you use them, they are for you to keep. Read them, don't read them... the choice is yours.

- Kakashi Hatake, Sixth Hokage

Now more confused than ever before, Naruto opened up the bag to find...

"What... the hell..."

One by one, Naruto pulled out one of every book that Jirayia had ever published. The only one missing was the one that he had actually read before during his training at Mount Myoboku: The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi, a book about a young, determined Shinobi named Naruto on a mission to break the world's cycle of hatred.

These novels were not like that one. Even just the suggestive covers of some of the books brought a bright red hue to Naruto's cheeks. His face flushed even more when he realized that these were the same pervy books that Hinata had read while he was gone.

He wanted to convince himself that there was no way in hell he would ever read something like this... but then again, he never would have thought that Hinata would read them either. If she had enjoyed them enough to read every single one in just two weeks... what was the harm in him just trying one out?

He brought the collection into his room, and after looking at his alarm clock, he decided that he had enough time before bed to read just a few pages of the first book.

What he didn't know was that he would be up into the early morning, restlessly indulging in the well renowned works of his late master.
