The Demon Prince

A/N: My first author's note! First of all, I am aware of a few inconsistencies in the previous chapter – for example Sasuke's eyes are black, not amber – however I am not yet sure how to fix a chapter... This is my first AFF story, so I hope you, my sweet readers, will bear with me! This story is meant to be fairly lemony, and equally YUMMY! Any suggestions, reviews and constructive criticism is welcome. I will do my best!

Please note that this chapter contains spanking and graphic sex. Now, onward to chapter 2!



When Naruto woke up every inch of his body was thudding dully. He blinked himself awake, feeling dazed and disoriented. He had been asleep for fifteen hours by the heavy feel of his body. He was surprised to find himself curled up on a luxurious bed, covered in soft blankets twice as big as he is. A soft shuffling alerted him to other presences in the room.

Naruto jumped up when his eyes fell on Sasuke and another person. The demon prince was watching him with an inscrutable expression.

“M-master, you should have woken me...” Naruto stammered, tipping precariously off the bed. Before he could tumble headlong onto the floor, though, Sasuke had him pushed back in the bed, a hand planted firmly on his chest.

“You're not permitted to stand up, Naruto,” the prince said coldly. Naruto swallowed a bewildered retort, staying put as he was ordered. The pretty woman stepped forward at a nod from Sasuke. The dark prince stepped away, allowing the short pink-haired lady to take his place above Naruto.

“I am called Sakura, I am master Sasuke's personal healer,” she said politely, reaching forward to examine Naruto. Naruto shot Sasuke a wide-eyed look, affronted by his amused smirk.

“Is there something you'd like to say, slave?” Sasuke enunciated the word slave coolly. Naruto gnawed at his lower lip, allowing the girl's cool hands to trail over his naked body.

“I guess not,” he muttered, refusing to meet the demon prince's eyes.

“You're all patched up now, little Naru,” Sakura said cheerfully. Naruto tilted his head at the odd nickname, before her words truly sank in.

“Patched up?” he gasped, glancing down at his own smooth skin. “B-b-but... that's not possible!” he exclaimed, jumping up to test his strength. His body, although still pounding softly, felt as good as new.

“This is insane,” he laughed in utter shock, leaping brightly onto the floor. His bare feet sank into the lush carpet of the room. Sakura shot him a perplexed smile, giggling shyly when he grinned widely at her. It was only when Sasuke spoke that Naruto remembered his master's presence.

“What did I say about getting up?” Sasuke growled darkly. He hid his feral amusement too well for his slave to pick up on his good humour. Naruto's grin had left Sasuke slightly breathless. He wished he could see the man light up like that again, but the moment he spoke the slave's face fell into the deepest depths of misery.

Naruto cringed at his master's sharp words, but he raised his gaze challengingly in Sasuke's direction. He felt healthy and rested; too good to be under bed arrest. Sasuke tilted an inquiring eyebrow at him. Sakura watched the exchange quietly, surprised by Sasuke's leniency. The demon wasn't known for his patience with disobedient slaves. As a matter of fact, Sakura had treated some of the unfortunate creatures that had suffered Sasuke's wrath. This blonde half demon could not know Sasuke very well if he dared defy the demonic prince. But then, Sasuke hadn't yet torn out the man's throat.

“I'm healed. I could at least get to work now,” Naruto protested, wanting desperately to get out of Sasuke's way. Doing some work would clear his mind and tire him out so he didn't have to think about his new owner. Sasuke seemed to have other things on his mind, though, as he smirked at the blonde and dismissed the healer with a wave.

“Thank you, Sakura!” Naruto called after the fast retreating girl. She really was pretty, with a bright smile and huge blue eyes. She froze and waved before slipping from the room. When Naruto turned back to his master, Sasuke had an aura of irritation about him that made the young slave wince.

“Don't thank the help. That's what I have them for,” Sasuke growled disgustedly. A flash of anger in Naruto's faded blue eyes fascinated him. Under his ownership Naruto had every right to enjoy the benefits of being the prince's slave. Why did the slave insist on making friends with lowly servants?

“Everyone needs a thank you now and again,” Naruto responded angrily. Sasuke felt torn between wanting to punish his pet and wanting to laugh at him. Naruto just didn't make any sense.

“They get paid, slave. They don't need a thank you. Get on the bed,” Sasuke ordered, his dark eyes gleaming with satisfaction at finally having the man right where he wanted him. Naruto gazed uncertainly from him to the bed and back.

“Why?” he asked suspiciously. Sasuke's hand hit his cheek so suddenly he was nearly thrown of balance. He glared at Sasuke furiously, trying to ease the sting of the slap with his right hand.

“The fu-?”

“You will do as you're ordered. I didn't give you permission to ask questions,” Sasuke said almost boredly. Disbelief and fury whirled through the slave's head. Was Sasuke serious?

“N-no. I'm not some... some toy for you to...”

“You are whatever I please, as you are my slave. You will address me as master, slave. Remember that,” Sasuke said, then gestured to the bed with a threatening look. Naruto stepped backward, fearful of what his new master was planning. When Sasuke didn't move he smirked at the prince and fled, darting from the room before Sasuke could react. Naruto fled through a wide hallway, picking random doors hurriedly to get as far away from Sasuke as possible.

In the room, a cold, feral smile adorned Sasuke's lips. He ran his fingers through his inky black hair before vanishing into the shadows, listening intently for the slave's running footsteps. His ears could pick Naruto out anywhere in the palace, even if Naruto wasn't yet aware of it. When Sasuke located the blonde man his smile grew. This would be a quick game of chase...

His pet was in for a nice surprise. Nice for Sasuke, that is.

When Naruto finally managed to slow down and breathe, he almost groaned in frustration. He had run away from his master for the second time in as many days. What the hell was wrong with him? He had never run away from his previous masters. Punishment ended faster if you just breathed through it.

But he knew what was wrong with him. It was Sasuke. The man was attractive, and dangerous, and disconcertingly cruel. Everything about him screamed for Naruto to turn tail and flee. It didn't matter that he couldn't escape, or that Sasuke owned him. All that mattered was that the demon prince was a true predator, and that Naruto refused to be his prey.

Naruto looked around him desperately, trying to find a good hiding place. Surely it would take Sasuke a while to track him down? Could he use his demonic abilities to hide himself from Sasuke's sight? Should he hide his abilities for when he had a real shot at escaping?

Naruto found himself out in a courtyard of sorts. There was a massive marble fountain with a mermaid statue in the middle. Grass and cobbled stone covered the ground and pretty little flowerbeds stood at the edges of the courtyard. Naruto studied a bush right next to the fountain, taking note of its size. If he wanted, he could hide in that bush. With what little magic he had it wouldn't be impossible, but would it hide him sufficiently from Sasuke?

There was nowhere else to hide, so Naruto wedged himself in between the little shrub and the marble fountain. A sharp fang sliced through his thumb, drawing blood. He placed the finger on the ground and concentrated. When his hand withdrew he could no longer see it in front of him. It wasn't much of an ability, but vanishing from sight could be useful in a life-threatening situation. He didn't have the power to fight head on with other demons – he was only a half demon.

Sasuke appeared suddenly in the courtyard, glancing around coolly. His slave was nowhere in sight, but he didn't put it passed Naruto to have hidden. He couldn't help but grin, thrilled by his pet's challenge. When was the last time a slave had had the guts to run away from him? And that after he promised Naruto severe punishment should the blonde run again...

He sniffed the air cautiously, noting the powerful scent of the half demon. Naruto was here, all right. But where?

Naruto had to hold a hand to his mouth to keep from laughing. Despite his dangerous predicament, seeing Sasuke shoot the fountain a confused glance made him want to roar with laughter. The demon prince glared around the courtyard, though a smile tugged at his lips. Naruto snorted softly in laughter, then froze when his master tilted his head intently to the sound. He held his breath, silently begging whatever deity would listen to him that Sasuke wouldn't find him.

Sasuke listened intently, concentrating furiously. He could pick up a soft heartbeat near the fountain, racing in fear. He turned his dark gaze to study the massive fountain, taking note of the small shrubs beside it. Did that one just move?

Naruto screamed inwardly when Sasuke calmly walked straight towards him. Once his master was within reach there was no doubt he wasn't bluffing. Before Naruto could take off again, though, Sasuke grabbed him by the hair and broke the invisibility covering his cowering pet. Naruto stared at Sasuke in quiet awe and shock. How had the prince discovered him?

“Found you,” Sasuke growled, suddenly letting go of the slave and kicking him powerfully into the fountain. Naruto flailed and sputtered, only barely managing to sit upright before Sasuke was crouched over him, watching him with an unwavering dark gaze. The prince studied his prey calmly, knowing that he had trapped Naruto. Naruto, who now sat shivering in the cool fountain and gazed up at his angry master.

Maybe not that angry, Sasuke reflected to himself. He had enjoyed the little game of chase, even though Naruto had disobeyed him.

“Slave, I know you did not just run from me, because I specifically recall warning you what would happen if you did,” Sasuke told Naruto smoothly. The slave was watching him with rebellious blue eyes, but he noted that the blonde cringed slightly at his words. The movement brought a frown to his face. It really felt as though Naruto's spirit was already broken, even though the slave refused to stop fighting him. What caused Naruto to keep fighting when he knew he had lost? What would it take Sasuke to get this man to willingly submit to him?

Because, he realized silently, that was exactly what he wanted. He wanted the man to beg him for his attention. He didn't want an unwilling slave on his hands, there were too many of those already.

“I-i...” Naruto bit his lip. There was no response he could give to that, damn Sasuke. He shivered at the sudden dark frown on his master's face. Was Sasuke really that mad at him?

“You?” Sasuke asked, not helping the man out. He wanted to hear what the slave had to say for himself. But Naruto averted his gaze, unconsciously submitting to the dark prince.

“I'm sorry, master,” he mumbled in a resigned tone. He would be punished and that was that. There was no point in even fighting it anymore.

A long, pale finger stretched up and forcibly tipped his chin upwards. Sasuke watched the resignation and fear in the faded blue eyes, feeling a stirring of something he hadn't felt in a long time. Pity.

“Sorry for what?” he prompted gently. The agony in Naruto's eyes almost made him draw away, but he couldn't let the slave off that easily. Naruto needed to know who owned him.

“For... for running away and disobeying you, master,” Naruto ground out. Sasuke was starting to annoy him again. Why did the master need such a heartfelt apology. Couldn't he just punish Naruto already?

A flash of defiance eased Sasuke's anxiety a bit. The slave didn't like apologizing, it seemed. Sasuke grinned widely at Naruto, pulling him to his feet and out of the fountain. Naruto tottered uneasily, surprised when the prince's hand on his elbow stilled him.

“I'm afraid naughty pets will have to be punished, Naruto,” Sasuke said gravely, watching the slave's head droop. Naruto had no confidence when it came to punishment.

“Strip,” Sasuke ordered, stepping away from the wet slave. Naruto's eyes widened and he gaped at Sasuke.

“What, here?” he asked, glancing around desperately. They were in public, for crying out loud!

Sasuke's sadistic grin was answer enough. Hesitantly, Naruto removed the odd white pajamas he had woken up in. Sasuke watched the slave slowly undress. He didn't bother telling Naruto that the palace had orders to stay out of this courtyard for a while. Why spoil the fun?

When Naruto stopped at his underwear Sasuke folded his arms and waited. With a quiet groan Naruto removed those too, shivering nakedly in the light breeze.

He felt vulnerable and open, especially since Sasuke was still dressed. The prince's gaze roamed his body, heating Naruto up wherever it touched.

Sasuke sat down on the edge of the fountain, beckoning his slave. After casting a quick, embarrassed look around, Naruto hurried over to his master.

“On my lap,” Sasuke said. Naruto stopped again, shaking his head in protest.

“A spanking? No way! I'm not some kid,” he roared at Sasuke. Sasuke grinned cruelly at him, suddenly appearing behind him and twisting Naruto's right arm behind his back. The slave yelped when Sasuke bit painfully into his neck, holding the slave in such a way that squirming would put immense pressure on Naruto's shoulder. After a few moments Naruto stopped moving and whimpered softly in Sasuke's grasp.

Sasuke licked the bite mark as a reward, then moved his face up to nuzzle Naruto's ear. His slave's naked body rubbed seductively against his robes.

“Who owns you, boy?” Sasuke asked, still nibbling and kissing at Naruto's neck. The slave shivered but resolutely said nothing. Sasuke grinned and used his other hand to cup Naruto's ass roughly. He massaged the buttocks, using his knee to nudge the man's growing arousal. Naruto moan and attempted to twist out of his master's grip, but Sasuke didn't budge. He squirmed furiously, then gave up when his shoulder felt as though it would dislocate.

Sasuke, unperturbed, continued his ministrations on his slave's body.

“You do,” Naruto sighed reluctantly. Sasuke's arm snaked around so he could pinch the man's nipple's playfully, making Naruto arch into his grip. The boy started struggling furiously again. He moaned at the painful pleasure in his nipples as Sasuke continued the furious onslaught.

“Who does?” Sasuke asked innocently, enjoying the way Naruto gritted his teeth.

“You do!” Naruto growled. With a final, painful pinch Sasuke tugged the man over to the fountain and flipped him onto his own lap. Naruto didn't bother to fight, but submitted reluctantly to his humiliating punishment.

Sasuke ran his hands over the slave's ass. He took note of the creamy colour, hoping to turn Naruto's ass a pretty crimson.

“Count for me, my pet,” Sasuke ordered, smacking the slave hard. Naruto yelped, then grumbled a “One,” to Sasuke. Sasuke smacked him again, asking “One what?”

“One, master,” Naruto growled.

The spanking continued, becoming all the more painful for Naruto. He writhed in his master's grip, yelling expletives and finally resorting to begging. Sasuke's hand was heavy, and every smack stung painfully. Naruto's ass quickly turned an angry red, drawing a cruel grin from Sasuke.

He continued the spanking, though, loving the way his slave flailed against his erection. Naruto yelled and complained, finally bursting into quiet tears. When the slave couldn't take any more, Sasuke rubbed a soothing hand over the poor slave's ass.

Naruto lay still, not feeling up to any more fighting. The tears rolled from his cheeks, but he quickly regained control. He refused to keep crying like a little baby at a spanking.

When Sasuke pulled him upright and gently set him in his lap, though, a fresh wave of tears threatened. Why did being in Sasuke's arms make him feel soothed instead of furious?

Sasuke looked his slave over, noting the teary blue eyes and swollen lip. His slave must have bitten the lip to keep from crying out at first. Sasuke leaned forward and licked the abused lip, then moved up to lick Naruto's tears from the corners of his eyes. The slave shivered hotly in his arms. When he finally pulled away Naruto was shaking all over. The man burrowed into Sasuke's chest, seeking the comfort only a master could give. He didn't care if Sasuke had just punished him, or if he hated being a slave, or if his ass felt like it was on fire. All he wanted was to be held and comforted.

Sasuke allowed the pet to hide in his chest. A rush of emotion swept through him. His thoroughly wounded slave was seeking comfort in his arms. He had fully expected Naruto to continue to defy him, or to at least be furious with him. The submissive, broken pet was not what he expected. It twisted his heart, but also pleased him to know that this man accepted him fully as master.

He stood up gently, cradling the slave in his arms. He didn't bother picking up the clothes. One of the servants would remove them, and they were wet anyway.

So he kept his pet close and vanished into the shadows, not wanting anyone else to experience Naruto's humilation. He laid Naruto gently on the king sized bed in his room, heart aching when Naruto whimpered at being let go.

He took his place beside the boy, cradling him into his chest. He knew that Naruto would hate his own weakness. The proud half demon would hate that he had submitted to the arrogant prince, but for now he was content to just lie with him.

Naruto was surprised when he was put in bed, but even more surprised when Sasuke got in next to him. He allowed his master to warm him up and soothe him. His master's closeness brought other things to his mind, though. His skin felt sensitized against the soft blanket and the hard, lean muscle of his master's body. The pain in his ass had faded to an uncomfortable burning sensation, but it no longer hurt. He squirmed hotly, embarrassed when he brushed against his master's erection. Sasuke had enjoyed giving him that spanking! Somehow, the thought aroused him as well. What kind of a man was he?

He was a whore. A bad, bad slave that deserved to be punished. Even now he desperately wanted the prince to take him. As though Sasuke would ever look at him that way. He gritted his teeth, calling himself every bad name he could think of. He was an idiot for submitting so wholly to Sasuke.

When Sasuke suddenly tipped his face upward, Naruto realized that he was really beginning to hate that gesture. Sasuke could see his every emotion written in his blue eyes.

“What is the matter, pet?” Sasuke asked, studying the blonde's angry expression. Naruto glanced away sullenly.

“Nothing, master,” he growled.

“Look at me,” Sasuke ordered. Naruto unwillingly met his gaze, resenting Sasuke's control over him.

“Good, now tell me what you were just thinking,” Sasuke asked quietly. The warning note in his voice warred with Naruto's resentment. He wasn't keen on another punishment, but he didn't want to tell Sasuke the truth either. Sasuke waited patiently, seeing the young slave at war with himself. Naruto finally seemed to make a decision, though his eyes dulled in a way Sasuke was starting to dislike.

“I was thinking that I'm a bad slave. I deserve to punished. You shouldn't be holding me, master. I'll just taint you,” Naruto said lifelessly. He tried to pull away from his master, but Sasuke's grip around his waist made it impossible.

“Why would you think such a thing?” Sasuke asked. Cold anger shot through his slave's eyes. Sasuke felt himself cool remarkably at the self loathing and anger in the sunny slave's eyes.

“I'm a half demon. A stupid whore, and a bad slave. I'm not even worth keeping.”

Naruto had recited the words to himself a million times before. However much he might claim otherwise, he knew it was the truth. His masters told him so. He was worthless.

Sasuke drew away from him. Naruto closed his eyes against the bitter disappointment that engulfed him. It was better this way. If the prince kicked him out, at least he would have proof that he was worthless. At least Sasuke wouldn't be tainted by him.

His eyes flew open when he was suddenly flipped onto his back. Sasuke pinned his arms above his head and loomed angrily over him. Cold fury pierced Sasuke's black eyes, making Naruto cringe away from the dark prince. Sasuke was furious. He glared darkly at the slave, tempted to spank him halfway to death if that was what it took.

“M-master?” Naruto asked uncertainly. He squirmed experimentally, but found that with Sasuke straddling his hips and pinning his arms above him, Naruto was rendered immobile. The knowledge made a fresh wave of heat pool in his stomach. Sasuke's right hand gripped Naruto's jaw painfully, forcing the slave to watch him. Fear and bewilderment clouded the blue eyes, but Sasuke clenched his teeth and glared at his pet, only barely keeping his temper in check.

“Is that what you think? That you are worthless?” Sasuke demanded. Naruto's eyes widened at the sheer fury in Sasuke's usually cold voice, but he answered nonetheless.

“It's true. I'm a worthless slave,” Naruto responded mechanically, still trying to figure out what was bothering the prince. Maybe he was upset that Naruto hadn't told him this before? Would he not have touched Naruto if he knew?

“If you ever say that again, you won't be able to sit for a month,” Sasuke threatened, his grip on Naruto's jaw becoming unbearably painful. Naruto whimpered, but didn't struggle. His master was angry about something, he would behave for Sasuke's sake.

“S-say what, m-master?” Naruto asked in bewilderment. Sasuke recoiled visibly at the question, confusing the slave even more.

“You are not worthless,” Sasuke hissed angrily. A bubble of disbelieving laughter escaped Naruto. His master was angry about that?

“I-i'm sorry? I won't say it again, master,” Naruto answered timidly, watching the dark prince with surprise. Sasuke still didn't seem satisfied, but his mouth suddenly crushed Naruto's, angrily dominating the blonde slave beneath him. Naruto allowed Sasuke to plunder his mouth, submitting willingly to the angry, demanding kiss. He began to feel dizzy by Sasuke's passionate kiss, but didn't try to break away. Sasuke's hot hands started roaming his body, leaving a trail of fire on his skin. Naruto meshed his fingers with Sasuke's silky black hair and drew himself eagerly closer to his master. Humiliation and pain forgotten, he allowed his master to dominate every thought from his mind. Sasuke's one hand returned to torture Naruto's nipples. The slave groaned in protest, but couldn't help but smile. Sasuke's skilled fingers made him writhe in both pleasure and pain.

Sasuke suddenly yanked away and tipped Naruto over, shoving his ass into the air.

“Keep your hands above your head,” Sasuke snapped the order as he shredded his clothes from his body. Naruto trembled with pure anticipation, still reeling from his master's sudden, passionate attack.

When Sasuke prodded teasingly at his entrance, Naruto mewled in hot, aroused pleasure.

“Please...” he whimpered, leaning into his master's arousal. Sasuke growled, a deep, rumbling sound. He loved hearing Naruto beg for him. He wanted more, wanted the slave panting beneath him.

But there would be time enough fr that later. Just then, Sasuke was desperate to own his slave completely. To show Naruto that he was nothing without Sasuke.

“This is going to hurt,” He warned Naruto, but the slave was too far into his arousal to really pay attention. Sasuke shoved deeply into him, making the slave scream in extreme pain and pleasure. Naruto trembled, feeling like he would tear apart. Sasuke was too huge. He shifted uncomfortably, whimpering in pain by his master's sudden entrance. Sasuke reached around his pet to grip his impressive bulge, making a slow, torturous milking motion. Naruto gasped, overwhelmed by the onslaught of sensations. He adjusted slowly to Sasuke inside of him, preoccupied with Sasuke's hand on his shaft. Sasuke pulled out, then rammed himself in again roughly. The overly full feel made Naruto gasp. Sasuke continued shoving himself roughly into Naruto, moving faster and faster. He hit the man's prostate, hearing the pleasured scream that tore from his slave's throat. He aimed and hit it, again and again, still toying with Naruto's aroual. The slave trembled and bucked beneath Sasuke. He wanted his master to take him harder, faster.

“Please master, more...” He begged, arching himself into Sasuke's movements. Sasuke growled and sank his fangs into Naruto's back, obliging his pet' request.

“Don't come yet, pet,” Sasuke ordered the slave, cautioning himself not to release yet either. Naruto groaned beneath him, wriggling in his grasp.

“Please, master, please let me come,” Naruto begged, feeling about to explode. Sasuke growled a guttural no, enjoying the trembling slave panting beneath him too much. He sped up, dominating the poor slave's ass ruthlessly. Naruto cried out in pleasure, begging over and over for Sasuke to let him release. Sasuke finally couldn't take the intense build up any longer.

“Now, pet!” he ordered, coming with his gorgeous blonde pet.

A primal scream tore from Naruto as he came, again and again. He finally felt limply beneath Sasuke's weight, trembling from the after effects of the intense orgasms. Sasuke was also breathing heavily. He pulled out of his slave, rolling so he could cradle the blonde into his chest.

Naruto didn't respond when Sasuke pulled him closer. He felt dizzy and thoroughly abused. He didn't know how long it took him to recover from Sasuke's furious attack, but finally his heart rate slowed down and he was able to think clearly again. He was exhausted and completely sated, though. He curled up against Sasuke, nuzzling his master's muscled chest.

Sasuke himself was equally content to just lay there, recuperating. He was shaken by how passionate he had been just then. It had been a long time since anyone had riled him up that much. He buried his nose in Naruto's golden hair, breathing his slave's scent deeply into his nostrils. Naruto stiffened after a while, making Sasuke groan inwardly. What was the damn slave's problem this time?

“What is it, Naruto?” Sasuke asked irritably. Naruto was quiet for a moment before he replied.

“Master, if you'd like to sleep, I will leave...” Naruto muttered in a small voice. Sasuke felt a pang of pity for the slave. Of course, slaves never slept in their masters' beds. Slave's were used and then put back to work, the way things were meant to be. But Sasuke pulled Naruto even closer, refusing to let the slave slip away. He didn't want Naruto anywhere else than with him.

“Go to sleep, Naruto,” Sasuke growled. When Naruto started to pull away from him he slapped the slave lightly on the thigh.

“Sleep,” he ordered again, working to suppress a snort of laughter when Naruto stilled immediately in his arms. He knew that Naruto was uncomfortable with sleeping in his bed, but he didn't really care. Sasuke fell asleep quickly, still cradling the hesitant blonde slave. Naruto lay awake for a while, then shrugged and succumbed to slumber. If it was Sasuke's orders, he would sleep with his master. He was too tired to start working anyway. The next day would be a hard day indeed.
