Just One More Kiss

Author’s note: We’re back with a new story for all of you to enjoy!!! This one is COMPLETELY different from the last one so be prepared for a change of pace! Enjoy!!!

 

===================================================================

 

The city lights shone brightly in the busy downtown area of Konoha as many of the people were out walking the streets, partying, drinking... It was Saturday night after all. Some though, were not having such a very good night as a figure made his way slowly through the crowded streets. His dark hair, almost having a hint of blue to it in some light, framing his face as a scowl was evident. Sasuke Uchiha was not happy.



The day had started out fine, normal even. He had gotten up and done nothing... perfect. But then of course, like every other major incident in his life, his father called him into his home office. It always started out like that. Fugaku wasn’t one to sugar coat anything and so many times Sasuke had left the office in tears as a child. But he had become immune to the man’s words after a while and now was completely indifferent to them. Most of what Fugaku had to say recently wasn’t very important to Sasuke anyway.



What was said in that room earlier that day though, caused the youngest Uchiha to do something he hadn’t done since he was twelve. He threw a tantrum. He first yelled at his father, disagreeing with the man’s words and demanding his father undo what he had done. Of course Fugaku refused, why would Sasuke ever think he could change the man’s mind? After he pretty much destroyed the CEO’s office, Sasuke had stormed out, not really knowing what to do with himself. He had ended up just walking the city of Konoha. Their house was more or less in the suburbs so he had been walking for quite a while until he had found himself Downtown.



He didn’t want to do it, he didn’t want to get married... His father was an idiot and the girl’s parents, whoever the girl was... Sakura or something stupid like that, were no better. He had no doubt that girl would be annoying, all girls were, well, except when he had them in bed... that was a different story. But an arranged marriage? Who even had arranged marriages anymore...?



Sighing in defeat, Sasuke looked around, spotting a number of bars and was suddenly really in the mood to get drunk and forget all about his situation for a while. A bright blue sign caught his eye and he headed for the establishment, entering the surprisingly quiet bar and taking a seat directly at the long table.



A blonde glanced up from where she was leaning over the counter flipping through the pages of a magazine as she heard the chime above the door signal a customer’s arrival. Her big blue eyes, framed perfectly with dark eyeliner, lit up as she spied the good looking, and obviously wealthy man. While he was obviously handsome, there was something… almost sad about him. He looked completely downtrodden. His face was completely stoic, but those dark eyes spoke volumes to her.



Straightening up and smoothing down her full skirt to make sure it covered her, she planted her most dazzling smile on her face as the man took a seat at the bar.



It was made of dark wood, almost black – the same as all the wooden trims and tables. All the fabric was done in rich tones of blue; it had a comfortable, yet modern feel to it. But Rasengan was a new bar, and didn’t have a good customer base yet.



“Welcome to Rasengan,” the girl smiled. “Am I glad you’re here. It’s been quiet all night... What can I get for you?”



Looking up at the voice, Sasuke paused for a moment as his eyes were almost blinded by brilliant blue. He was staring at the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen... Looking a bit further, he realized that not only did this girl have beautiful eyes but everything about her was beautiful, from her honey tan skin to her golden hair that was tied up at the moment in a neat bun, a few strands framing her delicate face.



Realizing he had been just staring for a while, Sasuke cleared his throat and looked at the variety of drinks behind the girl.



What do you suggest?” His voice came out lower than he intended it too... it was the voice he liked to use when flirting but... what was he thinking? Why couldn’t he flirt? It wasn’t like he was attached to Sakura or anything, hell, he hadn’t even met her yet.



The woman’s eyes sparkled with amusement as her customer simply stared for a few moments. She liked how it felt when those impossibly dark eyes roamed over her body, taking in her dress – blue and black, matching the décor of the bar; a short-skirted Lolita dress with black lace framing her full bust, skirt and sleeves, and blue lacing up the back, ending in a bow. She had the sudden urge to turn and show him the back of her body as well, but refrained.



“Hm… Well, you look like you need something hard,” she smirked, shivering pleasantly at that deep, silky voice. “How about a Tom Collins? They’re my favourite.”



Sasuke raised an eyebrow. He wasn’t usually the type to drink gin but... he figured he’d give it a try. “Sounds good.” He paused for a moment, wanting to say something else but really didn’t know what to say. The woman was practically a stranger. But he had never had a problem flirting with strangers before.



“You got it, hun,” she smiled, turning to start making the drink. Grabbing a glass, she added a double shot of gin, lemon juice and simple syrup to the shaker and started shaking it. She added ice to the glass and strained the mixture into it, adding club soda and a lime wedge for a garnish, placing it on a coaster in front of the man.



“I’m Naruko by the way, and I own this bar.” She held out a delicate hand with long nails painted black to match her outfit. “It’s nice to meet you…”



Sasuke took the hand, the skin soft against his own. “Sasuke Uchiha, and it’s very nice to meet you as well...” Bringing the girl’s hand up to his lips, he gently kissed the back of it before letting go. “I’m impressed, that you own this place. I’m also surprised there aren’t more people in here, it looks inviting enough.” His eyes continued to stare into Naruko’s as he took a sip of his drink. “Delicious...”



Naruko’s cheeks flushed a pretty shade of pink as she pulled her hand back, her skin tingling from the gentle press of lips. What a charmer… Her insides felt like they were melting; she’d always been a sucker for romance…



“Thank you. It’s always been my dream to have a popular little bar. I’ve got the bar part down, but the popular... not so much. I’m hoping business picks up soon.” She smiled ruefully and leaned against the top of the bar once more on her arms, the top of her dress showing off the swell of her full breasts.



Not being able to resist the temptation, Sasuke glanced down for a split second, admiring the blond’s cleavage, she had an impressive pair. “Well if you keep making drinks this good, you’ll definitely have me coming back.” He took another sip, letting the flavors tantalize his tastebuds and he cold feel the alcohol warming his insides on its way down to his stomach.



“Oh? You’ll only come back for the drinks?” Naruko teased, her lips twitching into a playful smirk. “I suppose that’s the point…” Reaching towards Sasuke’s glass, she ran her finger up it, collecting a stray drop. Keeping her eyes locked with his, she sucked it off the tip of her finger. “Hm… that is quite good. Maybe I should join you… Would you mind?”



“Drinking on the job? How irresponsible of you... But then again...” He turned, looking at the empty bar. “...it’s just me in here... Perhaps we could make this a... private occasion?” His eyebrow raised a bit his eyes flicking toward the front door. He wasn’t even sure what time she closed but he could hold out hope that she would agree to lock the doors...



“Mmm… Now there’s an idea…” Smirking, Naruko stepped to the side and through the little door that closed off the bar from the rest of the space. Her heeled, thigh-high boots clicked across the wooden floor as she made her way to the door and turned the sign off, locking it.



“Just give me a second, and I’ll be right with you…” Heading towards the bathroom, she quickly pulled the elastic from her hair and brushed out the blonde strands that trailed all the way to her knees and pulled it up into two pigtails.



“I’m all yours now…” she murmured when she returned, stopping behind the bar to make herself a drink, and refresh Sasuke’s. “I’ve never closed the bar for anyone before… I don’t normally do things like this…” She flushed as she slid the new drink across the bar to the raven, and then perched on the stool next to his, crossing her long legs.



“You changed your hair...” Sasuke noted with a smile as he tentatively reached out, touching the soft strands. “It’s beautiful by the way... I don’t think I’ve eve sen a girl with hair that long.” He took a sip of his refreshed drink, already feeling the effects of the alcohol. Naruko must have put in more gin than what the recipe called for, which was just fine with him. He had been planning on getting drunk anyway...



“Oh… yes,” Naruko smiled, leaning in to the gentle touch. She loved when people touched her hair. “Thank you. It’s a lot of work, but I really like it. I don’t keep it down often, because it gets in the way…”



Picking up her drink, she sipped at it through the black straw. The alcohol tingled on her tongue; she’d made them extra strong, feeling the need to just drink and let loose. It had been a long time since she’d had such company… She really didn’t like to get involved with customers, but… Sasuke was irresistible.



“So, Sasuke… What do you do for a living? I’m guessing you own some sort of business… You look like a businessman, what with those fancy clothes…” She giggled quietly as she reached out and ran the tip of her finger along his knee.



“I suppose you could call it that.” Naruko’s fingertip on his leg made the spot tingle and he could feel the tightness in his stomach already starting to drift downward. Just looking at the blond was enough to make him hard. “My father owns a large corporation, I guess you could say I work for him.... Not that I particularly enjoy it.” The last sentence was muttered before he downed the rest of his drink in one gulp, shaking his head slightly at the burn of the alcohol.



“Ahh, I’ve struck a nerve,” Naruko murmured. “I’m sorry…” Standing, she made her way behind the bar again and made Sasuke a new drink, and one for her as well, since she was almost done. Once back on her stool, she swallowed the rest of it and pulled the fresh one closer.



“I was in the same situation as you. My father… He’s an important man. He wanted me to follow in his footsteps, but I chose to get out on my own. He loaned me the money to buy this bar and I’ve been paying him back… Or, trying to, since it’s not going so well. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong…”



She suddenly turned a brilliant smile on the raven that showed off perfectly straight, white teeth. “You could always come and work for me,” she teased. “I’m sure you could turn this place around. You just have that successful business-y look about you.”



Sasuke returned the smile, not being able to resist. “As wonderful as that sounds, I’m sort of... in too deep I guess.” The name of his ‘fiance’ flashed in his mind and he scoffed a bit, downing half of his new drink in one long sip.



“Well, the offer stands. If you get tired of your father…” Naruko finished off the rest of her drink, feeling the pleasant haze of alcohol begin to consume her. She’d always been a light-weight when it came to drinking.



“You make these strong... I think you’re just trying to get me drunk.” Sasuke’s scowl turned into a smirk as he stood, slowly closing the gap between them. “But it’s ok... I don’t mind.” Directly in front of her now, the raven let his hands rest tentatively on the girl’s hips, giving her more than enough of a chance to deny his advances.



“You seemed like you needed it…” she whispered, glancing down at the two pale hands on either side of her before looking back up and meeting Sasuke’s gaze. The barest hint of a smile lit her face as she shifted her body forward, accepting the advances. Why, she didn’t know. But there was just something about the guy… She tilted her head up, her lips parting slightly and her eyes finding his full lips. “I was just trying to help you out…”



Seeing the desire in the bright blue eyes, Sasuke didn’t hesitate a moment longer as he quickly captured Naruko’s lips before she could change her mind. The kiss started out sweet and gentle, just lips moving over lips, his hands moving to her back, caressing the curve of her lower back over the soft material of her dress.



After a few moments of that, he decided to take it to the next level and slid his tongue over her bottom lip, tasting the alcohol on her skin, it was completely different than how it had tasted from the glass, it was almost sweeter from her lips.



Naruko sighed contentedly as their lips connected and slid her arms up around Sasuke’s neck. Her nails teased along the pale skin below his nape as she pressed back, returning the sweet kiss. She stepped forward so her body was pressed up against the taught length of Sasuke’s and slid her fingers up into his hair.



“Mmm…” she moaned quietly, parting her lips in invitation. Her tongue peeked out, almost hesitant at first as it met Sasuke’s, but it quickly grew bolder as the kiss heated up, the slick muscle coaxing the other into her mouth.



Sasuke’s tongue delved inside the warm cavern, loving instantly how sweet Naruko’s mouth tasted. It wasn’t even the alcohol, she just tasted sweet. He let out a soft moan as well, feeling those nails tickle his scalp gently. Having his hair played with was a huge turn on and never failed to get him hard. His hips instinctively pressed against her full skirt, letting her feel his desire, his hands trailing down a bit, ghosting over her full ass, the dress only accentuating the shape.



The blonde gasped softly as she felt the hard bulge pressing against the front of her dress. God, if that wasn’t hot, feeling how much Sasuke wanted her.



Pulling back from the kiss, Sasuke panted, his eyes meeting Naruko’s once more, “You taste so good... I want to taste more of you...”



“I want more of you, too,” she panted, catching the raven’s bottom lip between her teeth and kneading gently. She took hold of his hand and led him around the bar so they were behind it. There was a counter there, and she hopped up to sit on it.



“Is it crazy that I want you to take me, and we just met?” she asked breathlessly, reaching boldly for the front of his pants. Her slim fingers easily popped the button open, and she slowly unzipped them. “I feel crazy…”



“We’re just doing what our bodies and minds want... there’s no shame in that...” Sasuke let Naruko do whatever she liked to his pants, it would feel so good to have those soft hands touching his rock hard cock, running her fingers up and down the shaft... maybe she’d even be willing to suck him off... god that would be hot.



Stepping forward, Sasuke fit himself in between the blond’s slightly spread legs, her dress hiding any glimpse of what was underneath. He had a slight fetish for panties and he was curious to see what she was wearing... But since he was now very intoxicated, his mind wandered quickly, his eyes landing on her full chest. Lifting his hands, he let them slide up her front and gently cupped both of them, just a feather light touch, not sure how Naruko felt about him touching her there.



Naruko made quick work of Sasuke’s pants. Soon, she had them pooled around his feet, along with his boxers. The raven’s length sprung from the hem of them, slapping against his stomach. The sight of the large erection made her eyes widen slightly, but she soon reached forward to wrap her long fingers around it.



“You’re right. I shouldn’t think so much,” she whispered, her breath catching as her breasts were fondled. Mild panic clawed at her heart and in the blink of an eye, she slid down the front of the counter until her face was on level with Sasuke’s cock, hoping to distract him. She ran her tongue along the underside, following the bulbous contour of the head, teasing in circles around it.



“Oh god... you really get down to business don’t you...?” Sasuke’s voice came out breathless as his hands rested on her shoulders, his hips twitching a bit as his cock swelled even more at the feel of that talented tongue.



“I told you I was going to stop thinking,” Naruko laughed, her cheeks flushing even as she laved her attention on the head, parting her lips to take it inside and suckling, her tongue digging into the slit.



“Besides, I have to get you ready for what I have in mind…” Her eyes gleamed with mischief as she slowly started sinking down, taking the length further inside. She didn’t stop until the head bumped at the back of her throat, and then she began moving back and forth a long it, her lips dragging over the rigid flesh.



Sasuke’s hands were in the blond locks, he was ruining those cute pigtails but he really didn’t care, her mouth was incredible. “Mmmmm.... fuck you feel so good... that’s it, suck my cock down your throat...” His hips began to thrust gently along with the bobbing of her head, the head of his penis repeatedly sliding into the tight space that was Naruko’s throat.



Naruko moaned loudly at the way Sasuke was speaking to her, her voice vibrating up his length. She moved faster, sliding her hand around to his ass as her tongue dragged along the underside of the shaft, moving him with her, inviting the raven to fuck her throat. She kept a careful eye on him, though, not wanting him to come that way. No, she wanted him inside when he came.



Even in his inebriated state, Sasuke got the hint and held the blond still, his hips continuing to move. The raven’s thrusts were fluid and slow so as not to hurt her as his cock slid in and out of her mouth and throat, his moans growing louder with each inward stroke. “Jesus Christ... you’re going to make me come so hard...”



The blonde’s eyes slid shut in bliss as Sasuke moved. She could feel his muscles tensing and relaxing as he thrust, and the feel of that length sliding in and out of her throat was amazing. But when the raven spoke, she placed a hand against his stomach to stop him, pulling off a second later.



“We can’t have that happening yet,” she smirked as she stood. She turned and bent over the counter, spreading her legs wide, her white lacy panties peeking out beneath her skirt. “I want you to take me, Sasuke… Fuck me hard and fast…” Her voice was breathless with excitement. “I want you to fuck my ass…”



Completely ready for it, Sasuke almost didn’t hear the last part and stopped for a brief second. He’d done it a few times but there was just nothing like sex with a woman...



“Are... are you sure that’s what you want?” he asked, his had lifting up her skirt further regardless, admiring the panties and letting his hands drift over the covered ass and backs of Naruko’s smooth thighs.



“Yes, I’m sure,” Naruko breathed, sounding a little impatient at the hesitation. “Please, Sasuke…” Reaching behind her, she hooked her fingers into the hem of the panties and tugged them down just enough to uncover her ass and no further. “Please don’t keep me waiting… I want you in me so bad…”



Sasuke’s mind was swimming but all he really wanted to do was fuck her, he honestly didn’t care which hole he did it in... Stepping forward a bit more, the raven lined his aching cock up with her asshole and slowly began to push himself inside, her saliva the only lubrication.



Feeling the extremely tight heat surrounding him, Sasuke moaned loudly, gripping Naruko’s hips as he leaned down to gently nibble on her neck, sucking occasionally at the tender flesh. “It’s so fucking tight... it feels so good...”



Naruko hissed through her teeth as Sasuke began pushing in, with almost no lube. But the burning sting was what she craved. She’d always liked pain with her pleasure.



“Oh, God! Yes!” She groaned, pushing her body back until her cheeks met Sasuke’s stomach. “Mmm, it does feel good…” Tilting her head back and to the side, she caught the raven’s lips in a hot kiss. “Fuck me, Sasuke… Fuck me hard…”



Kissing the blond back fervently, Sasuke immediately began a harsh rhythm, the counter in front of Naruko shaking a bit with how hard Sasuke’s gthrusts were. He was desparate, the alcohol combined with the sexy woman he was fucking was just so overwhelming that he had to feel that sensation, the heat, the tightness, it felt so, so good.



“You like it baby...? Tell me... tell me how much you love my cock in your ass...” Sasuke’s voice was a harsh whisper in the blond’s ear as his hands gripped her hips tighter underneath her dress, there would probably be bruises there the next day.



Naruko cried out breathlessly each time Sasuke thrust into her. She could feel the power behind the movements, and it only turned her on even more. The grip on her hips… the bruises she would have, not to mention the trouble walking afterwards…



“I love it! God, you feel so good in me, Sasuke! Uhnnn! That’s good… so good…” She reached behind her and, using her index and middle finger, spread them on each side of Sasuke, squeezing his cock tight as he moved to offer even more friction. “I’m… I’m not going to last long like this…”



“Oh shit!” Sasuke’s knees almost gave out as those delicious fingers added even more pleasure to what he already had, it was almost too much. “Yeah... that’s right, come for me baby... I want to feel that ass clench around my dick... make me come inside of you...”



“Fill me up,” the blonde whimpered. “I want you to come inside me and fill me up…” Without even touching herself, Naruko came hard. She cried out loudly, her voice echoing through the empty bar, her back arching and legs trembling as wave after wave of bliss crashed through her body. Her hand smacked against the counter top, her fingers curling as she rode out the intense orgasm.



It was like silky waves of bliss were rolling along his dick as Sasuke moaned out his pleasure, feeling the effects of the blond’s orgasm, her asshole spasming quickly along his cock.



“Oh my fucking god... “ His orgasm hit hard his breathing harsh as he continued to thrust even as he filled her up just like she had asked, his cum lubricating the passage even more, making it feel even better against his sensitive flesh.. The raven’s voice became a bit choked up as he rode out his intense climax, his hands still gripping the soft hips, his body resting on top of Naruko’s as his hips slowed and eventually stopped, his lungs burning as he gulped in air.



“Oh my god, that was amazing,” Naruko panted, leaning heavily against the counter. She could feel the warmth of Sasuke’s cum inside of her and sighed happily, enjoying the aftermath of her orgasm with the raven still lodged deep inside of her.



“We have to do that again sometime,” she laughed breathlessly. “You’re amazing…” She purposely clenched her muscles around Sasuke’s cock, teasing him.



“Mmm... and you’re a tease...” Sasuke smiled and gently bit the skin of the tan neck before gently pulling out, shivering a bit at the feeling. “I can’t believe I just fucked you in a bar... well, your bar...” He laughed a bit as he pulled his pants and boxers up, buttoning and zipping them. “As for doing it again... how could I say no?” He had decided to just screw his father’s plans and do what he wanted. He was an adult for fuck’s sake...



“Me neither,” Naruko laughed as she stood and pulled her panties back up, smoothing her skirt down. She could feel Sasuke’s come running out of her body and shivered in delight. “That was the craziest thing I’ve ever done, I think…”



She openly grinned as Sasuke agreed and leaned up on the tips of her toes to kiss him again. “I hope you’ll come see me again. I’m here every night, except on Sundays when we’re closed.”



Pulling the blond against him, his arms wrapping around her waist, Sasuke leaned down and gently kissed those delicious lips. “I might just be here every day then. Although you might not want to make my drinks so strong next time you know... now that we’ve established something between us.” he smirked and kissed her again, his tongue poking out to run along her bottom lip before releasing her completely.



“I promise I won’t try and get you drunk every time you come in here,” Naruko laughed, and then looked uncertain as Sasuke stepped away. “Is there something between us? Or is it just sex?” she asked, her cheeks flushing. She felt stupid for asking. “If it’s just sex, that’s okay. I just… Like I said, I don’t do stuff like this so I don’t really know how it works…”



Sasuke thought on that for a moment; was it just sex? He knew from the moment they had kissed for the first time that he didn’t want it to be just sex and even though he had all but slapped his father, future wife, and his future wife’s parents in the face... he didn’t really seem to care. All he wanted was Naruko... that’s all. She was just too... he had no idea but he liked it.



“I don’t know...” he finally answered. “I guess we’ll just have to wait and find out.”



Naruko nodded after a moment. “I guess that makes sense, since we just met…” But, for some reason she couldn’t explain, she was really, really into him. She was a romantic and she’d always believed in soul mates. Maybe that was a bit lame, but Sasuke was… too perfect for words.



“Here, I’ll give you this…” Grabbing a piece of paper and a pen, she scribbled down her phone number and handed it over. “I’m always here, but… just in case.”



Sasuke smiled pocketing the number and leaned in for one last kiss. “I’ll be sure to use it...” Standing there for a bit longer, the raven finally figured he probably should go, his father would be angry enough as it was with his little display earlier, not to mention the buzz was starting to die down, his rational mind coming back to him slowly. Of course he regretted nothing of that night he had spent with Naruko but his sense of responsibility was gnawing at him. However, he really didn’t want to leave.



“I better be going... I kind of walked out on my father earlier, that’s kind of why I came here in the first place... I was pretty angry with him...” Despite his words, he stayed where he was, his body not wanting him to leave.



“Ahh… then you should probably be getting home,” Naruko sighed. “Walk me to my car first? I just have to grab my purse…”



Heading into the back office, she grabbed her purse and checked to make sure she had her keys and cell phone. When she reached Sasuke again, she grabbed his hand and led him to the door, locking up and setting the alarm. She headed towards a flashy orange Mercedes SLR Roadster, the only car in the lot. Hitting two different buttons on her keychain, the car beeped as it was unlocked, and then the driver’s side door rose up into the air. “Oh! Do you need a ride, Sasuke? I don’t see another car here… did you walk?”



Sasuke looked appreciatively at the expensive looking car, not really into the color but the model was very nice.



“Yeah... I live just outside of the main city... I tend to walk to get my frustrations out.” he plastered a charming smile onto his face, it was hard not to think about all the dirty things he could do to Naruko in and/or on that car. “I’d love a ride if you don’t mind.”



“Of course I’ll give you a ride!” Naruko smiled. “Just let me slip out of these…” She gestured to her high-heeled boots. “They’re hard to drive in.”



She unlocked Sasuke’s door and then headed for the trunk, pulling out a pair of cute little black flats, slipping them on. Stowing her boots away, she slid into the plush leather driver’s seat and started the engine. It purred quietly, but its power beneath the hood was obvious.



When Sasuke was in as well, she put the car in drive and drove through the lot and out onto the street.



“Here…” She gestured towards the high-tech dash, hitting a few buttons until a GPS popped up. “Put your address in. It’s easier than telling me where to turn and stuff. I can’t talk to you that way.”



Sasuke did as told, punching in his street address and then leaning back once more in his seat. The car was very comfortable to sit in and he could tell Naruko had experience with the car. “So... I take it you like cars?”



“I do,” Naruko answered, flicking the radio on and turning it down low. “My father always had lots of cars while I was growing up, and I learned to appreciate them. This one was a birthday present.” She rolled her eyes at that. “Honestly, who gives a car this expensive as a gift?”



A sudden thought occurred to her and she turned her head to look at Sasuke briefly before looking back at the road, turning a corner. “How old are you, by the way? Not that it matters, I’m just curious.”



Looking at the blond with equal curiosity, but for an entirely different reason, Sasuke decided to just answer, no harm in it really... “I’m twenty-two... A lot of people think I’m older and they compliment me on how young I look...” He chuckled a bit to himself. “Guess that comes with being forced to grow up too quickly.”



“You do look young,” Naruko mused, a small smile on her face. “But, then, you are young. I have to admit, I pegged you as being older. I think it’s the aura you have… it just makes you seem older.” She shrugged. “I’m twenty and I get mistaken for a teen all the time. It gets kind of annoying, but I guess it’s a good thing, to be considered younger than you are.”



“Twenty huh? Let me ask you then... how is it that you own that bar? I’m guessing it has something to do with daddy?” Sasuke wasn’t trying to be an ass but he was actually curious to know how Naruko, a twenty year old girl could own a bar when the legal age to own such an establishment was twenty one?



“Well… it’s under my father’s name until I turn 21, but as soon as I do, he’s going to sign it over to me.” She didn’t want Sasuke to think she was a spoiled brat, because she was working so hard to make the bar successful. “Like I said, I’ve already started paying off my loan on it. My birthday is next month, so it will legally be mine then.”



Sasuke nodded, resting his arm against the rest on the door. “It’s great that you’ve found something you truly love to do. Most people don’t find that out until much later in life... and through another round of education...”



“I know…” Naruko smiled, one of her hands leaving the steering wheel to perch on Sasuke’s knee. “If only I could make it work… I probably should have gone back to school or something, but… I wanted to get started with my life, you know? Make my own life, apart from my father. I live on my own, and I’m happy being independent. It does get a bit lonely, though.”



She smiled sadly as one of her nails traced patterns over the raven’s pants. “But maybe that’ll change…” Her eyes widened after a moment and she shook her head. “I feel like I’m putting too much pressure on you, Sasuke. I don’t want to try and make you be with me. I know clingy girls are annoying and I don’t want to be that way. I just feel a connection with you and I’ve never felt it before…”



“Naruko... I feel the same way but... I just don’t know what’s going to happen I’m.. well...” He wasn’t sure if he should tell the woman what was going on in his life, maybe he should, it would help her understand a little bit more... “My father is trying to merge his business with another major coreration and for some reason they feel that the best way to bring the companies ‘closer’ is to... god damn it I don’t want to say it... If I say it then I’m just succumbing to it...”



“To what?” Naruko frowned, not liking how flustered Sasuke was getting. She could tell he wasn’t one to get flustered easily, which meant it was something big. Something she probably didn’t want to hear, knowing it would probably ruin her chances of being with him. “You don’t have to tell me if you’re uncomfortable. You can tell me whenever you’re ready…”



“No, I want to tell you now... I want to be honest with you from the start...” Sasuke prepared himself for the worst kind of rejection. What girl would want to be with him after this news? “My father has decided that the best way to make the merge ‘official’, is to have a wedding... I’m sure you can fill in the rest.” Sasuke looked away, not wanting to see the disappointment or disgust in those blue eyes.



“So, you’re engaged,” the blonde said slowly, her frown deepening. “So, you fucked me, while you’re engaged?” Guilt consumed her, twisting her stomach into knots. “I can’t really blame you… You’re being forced into something you don’t want. I mean, I don’t condone cheating, but at least when we were together, you were doing what you wanted instead of just following whatever your father set up for you. At least I hope so…”



Naruko worried her bottom lip, her fingers tightening on the steering wheel as she turned again, approaching their destination. “I’m not just some kind of revenge against your father, am I?”



Sitting up a bit straighter in the seat, Sasuke frowned and looked over toward the blond, sighing at the disappointment he knew he would see. They pulled up in front of his home but Sasuke didn’t get out right away, he took off his seat belt and faced Naruko.



“Listen to me... I don’t want to get married right now... I never wanted this, I never even agreed to it, hell I haven’t even met her. You have nothing to do with my father... your bar maybe... but not  you.” Leaning over the emergency break, Sasuke gently pressed his lips to Naruko’s. “None of that was in my mind when we were together.”



Naruko returned the kiss and smiled as they pulled apart. She leaned in for one more, lingering for a few moments before ending it. “Good… That makes me feel better about it,” she admitted, her fingers stroking up and down Sasuke’s thigh.



“I guess I’d better go…” she sighed, glancing at the clock on the dashboard. It was nearing 3:30 am, and she was exhausted. “I’ll see you soon?”



Sasuke nodded and stepped out of the car. It was almost painful to leave her but he knew that it wasn’t the last time he’d see her.  “I may even see you tomorrow.” His charming smile was back as he shut the door and waved before turning and making his way up the driveway and stepping inside after unlocking the front door.



The night had definitely been productive and he knew that whatever it took, he’d fight his father’s stupid suck-up techniques... even it meant giving up his job... and most likely his money along with it.



Naruko pulled away from the curb and headed in the direction of her own apartment. The streets were quiet, with barely any traffic so early in the morning. She made it back quickly and pulled into her parking space in the underground lot.



The building she lived in was huge. It stretched up into the dark sky, the black glass that made up the exterior glimmering in the moonlight. It was one of the most expensive buildings in Konoha and she lived on the top floor, in the penthouse.



Stepping out of her car and grabbing her purse, she locked up and made her way inside, greeting the doorman. Once in the safety of her apartment, the blonde slid her shoes off and flicked on the hallway light before making her way into the bedroom. Stripping from her dress, she padded into the bathroom to clean up, taking her makeup off with some cleanser. Smiling at her reflection in the mirror as she recalled the wonderful night. She reached up and ran her fingers through her hair, and then pulled her wig off. Being a woman sure had benefits. Sasuke Uchiha definitely being at the top of that list.
