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

 

The lobby was nice; the floors were made of black marble and boasted a small seating area with a black leather couch and loveseat, and a table made of heavy dark wood. There was a small concierge desk located close to the doors with the mail room behind it, and two gleaming elevators off to the side.



Naruto whistled as he glanced around, walking towards the elevators. “This place is really nice. You’ve got a concierge and everything. Let me guess, you live in the penthouse and have the whole top floor to yourself.”



“Something like that.” Sasuke pressed the button on the elevator and the doors opened right away. They both stepped in and the raven hit the button for the top floor. “There’s two up there, my brother and I use the other as our office.”



“So you work from home, then? That’s kinda cool,” Naruto smiled as he looked over his shoulder. The walls were made of padded black leather and it reminded him of one of those cells in an insane asylum. But it was stylish at the same time.



The ride up to the top floor was silent and Naruto spent it watching the numbers tick up and up… He hadn’t realized the building was so tall but by the time they reached the 25th floor, he thought they might never arrive.



Sasuke stepped out of the elevator once the doors opened and waited for Naruto to follow before heading to the right and unlocking the front door. The interior was simple, the carpet was a soft plush white and the walls were painted a light grey. The furniture was a classy mix of black and white, the long black leather couch was situated in the center of the living room facing a wall mounted plasma TV. A row of windows were behind the couch, the view looked over the city below which happened to be overcast and foggy at the moment but on a clear day you could see all the way to the ocean.



The kitchen was straight ahead passed an archway and was also black, white, and grey with all modern appliances and white marble countertops.



Placing his keys and bag by the front door, the raven removed his shoes and coat before turning to look at the blond. “So... what do you think?”



Naruto stepped inside and slipped his shoes off in the entrance way, padding a little further forward to look around. He didn’t really have any way to describe it, except… “This is… epic. Fuck, I’m never showing you my place. Ever.”



It was obvious that Sasuke had money – not that that mattered, but it made him feel a tad incompetent. Just a little. He couldn’t imagine living in such a place.



“Oh, man… the view…” he breathed as he stepped over to the windows. The fact that it was overcast did little to detract from the attractive view of the city. His tails twitched excitedly around him as he pressed his hand to the glass and leaned forward, trying to see the street so far below.



Sasuke smirked and approached the blonde; his had resting on the man’s lower back. “I have a balcony as well... It’s so relaxing to just sit out there early in the morning when I can’t sleep. It’s so quiet... almost eerily so.”



“I bet you can’t even hear the traffic up here,” Naruto marveled, his head turning towards the balcony. His grin was entirely too big as he made his way over to it, without permission, and slid the door open. Stepping onto the concrete, he made his way over to the railing and leaned over.



“Man, this is awesome. I would live out here. I’d put my bed there…” he snickered, pointing to the far end of the wide balcony. “And my TV there... and I’m sure you could get a fridge out here, maybe a microwave. That’d be so cool!”



Sasuke stepped out onto the balcony and gently pulled the man away room the railing. “I think I’d prefer you in here.” he said, before he closed the balcony door once they were inside. “Plus, it’s cold out there.”



He made his way to the kitchen and picked up the teapot from the stove, filling it with water. “What do you like to drink? I have tea, cocoa, apple cider, coffee...” He turned on the stove and placed the teapot back on the burner before entering the living room once more, seeing the blond just standing there. “Well... sit down...”



“Sorry,” Naruto flushed, sitting down on one of the plush couches. He reclined and crossed his legs, squirming for a second to get comfortable amongst the furry appendages attached to his body. Once he had, he stretched his arm out along the back of the couch. “I like coffee, but whatever you’re having is fine. I’m not picky at all.”



The raven nodded and went back to the kitchen to pull down what he needed from the cupboards. After the drinks were made, he brought his tea and Naruto’s coffee into the living room, handing a mug to the blond before sitting down. “So before we get down to business, I just wanted to give you one more chance. You’re sure you want this?”



Naruto smiled over at Sasuke. “I appreciate you giving me another chance to back out, but I’ve made up my mind. So let the business commence!”



Smirking to himself, he reached for his mug of coffee and blew on it a bit before taking a sip. “But I’d still like to hear about your expectations first.”



“We’ll get to that... First I want to know what your limits are. What won’t you do or what do you feel uncomfortable with? This can be either sexual or not.” Sasuke leaned back against the couch cushions, his attention solely fixed on Naruto.



Naruto thought about it a moment before shaking his head. “I don’t really have any… I’m up for pretty much anything, as long as I can use my safe word to stop anything I decide I don’t like or want to do.”



His eyes flashed and he smiled weakly. “I usually like thing’s a little rougher and honestly, there isn’t anything I can think of off the top of my head that I wouldn’t be into doing… but I need to have that security. My ex… he, um… he didn’t take it seriously when I used my word and he’d force me to just keep going. I can’t have that happen again, because if it did, I don’t think I’d be able to try again.”



“Don’t worry, I know how important safety is and I have a bit of added security when I use safe words. You’ll be able to choose two words. One will be to stop what I’m doing, the second will be to end the scene altogether. And any scene we do will be discussed beforehand so there won’t be any surprises, unless you want it that way, then you just have to tell me.” Sasuke took a sip of his tea before setting it down on the coffee table. He knew all too well how the misuse of safe words could put a sub in a very dangerous situation. He couldn’t even comprehend how anyone could be that ignorant of something so important.



Naruto smiled softly and shifted to bring his feet up under him on the couch. “I like your system. If it’s nothing serious, I’d rather just stop what’s happening and move on rather than end the scene altogether. But having the option of doing either… I like that a lot. And I do like surprises. I’m not into discussing everything beforehand and I don’t see the need for it as long as I can stop it if I don’t like what’s happening. Somehow… I don’t think we’ll have many problems.”



He frowned softly as he realized he really believed that. So far, they seemed in sync and he didn’t think that was really going to change. Of course, his track record wasn’t that great, so he was probably way off the mark.



“Alright, well, the option is there if there’s a particular scene you want to try out with me or if you feel like exploring something new… don’t be afraid to tell me what you want. If we just did what I wanted all the time then it wouldn’t be much fun for you.” The raven returned the gentle smile, loving how well they were meshing. It was unusual for him to get along with anyone in the beginning. Sure he would be compatible with someone but usually their different tastes would show quickly. With Naruto, that didn’t seem to be the case. The fact that Naruto liked it rough was already a huge turn on for him.



“Now, as far as what I expect when we aren’t living out our greatest desires… it’ll be a bit different than what I normally would do since we aren’t living together. Basically we’ll start out small and I’ll have you follow simple instructions throughout the week, just so I can see how well you can follow direction.” Sasuke picked up his tea once more and sipped at the warm liquid. “Also, I’d like to upgrade from IM chat to webcam if that’s not a problem.”



“Don’t worry, I’m not shy about speaking up,” Naruto snickered as he shifted a little bit closer to Sasuke, sipping at his coffee once more. “In fact, you might get sick of me speaking up.”



Grinning, he took another sip of his hot drink, reveling in the warmth as it slid down into his stomach. His tails swayed contentedly and he tilted his head at the raven. “That sounds good to me. I need to see your face while it happens. I like to read people’s expressions.  Reading words you’ve typed doesn’t really help with that.”



Sasuke noticed how close Naruto was getting to him and he couldn’t help but wrap his arm around the blonde and pull him against his own body, instantly loving how well they seemed to fit together. “I haven’t felt this good about a sub in a long time. I really think we’ll be good together. It’s such a strong feeling… I can already tell I’d do anything for you.” He smiled gently and kissed the blonde’s forehead before gently pressing his lips to Naruto’s lips for the first time. It was like an electric shock, god it felt so good. The raven’s heart sped up as he continued to kiss Naruto, noticing that the blonde had responded almost instantly.



Naruto was a little surprised when he was suddenly pulled close, but he melted, his body morphing into Sasuke’s, his bright eyes locked with the raven’s dark depths. They widened when he suddenly had soft lips pressing against his before fluttering closed, a gentle purr rumbling in his chest. His hand slid up to cup Sasuke’s cheek and he gave into the affection, pressing his lips back against the Uchiha’s eagerly.



Finally pulling back, albeit regrettably, Sasuke stared into those bright blue eyes and saw the affection swirling in their depths. He kissed the blonde quickly once more before leaning back against the arm of the couch, Naruto’s head resting on his chest.



“I have to say that was probably the most pleasant kiss I’ve ever received in return… I love how soft your lips are.” His fingertips carded through the blonde locks, occasionally, brushing the orange fur of Naruto’s ears.



Naruto’s eyes slid closed and his purr grew louder each time those long fingers touched his ears – a weak spot of his. “Mmm, yeah,” he murmured in agreement, seeming completely content to just lay there against Sasuke. “That was pretty good…”



The raven chuckled softly, never indicating he wanted the blonde to move any time soon. “Is there anything else you want to know about what I expect from you? Since you’ve been in the scene for a few years I’m sure you’ve done your research.”



“There are a lot of things I need to know… most importantly, what behavior you expect from me. I know a lot of Dom’s are really particular about that… in the past, some of the things expected from me were…” Naruto’s brow furrowed slightly as he tried to recall. “Always be polite… make requests, not demands… keep my Dom a priority in my thoughts… be open – share thoughts, desires, concerns, pleasures… I’ve been told to write in a journal every day… um… taking good care of myself was another, so I was always at my best for my Dom…”



Sasuke thought about it for a moment. Every sub was different and he didn’t have a set of rules for everyone. With Naruto, he could tell the blonde was very outspoken and liked to act on impulse whether he realized he did or not.



“I always want you to be open… I don’t mind if you disagree with me but just know that I have the final say on anything unless it’s something you really object to. I’ll always consider your opinions. As for taking care of yourself, that’s a given. I’m sure you know how to bathe yourself properly, however there are a few things I do require.” Pausing, the raven took a sip of his tea before continuing. “First, I don’t like body hair, so I expect for you to be clean shaven whenever we see each other. That includes; arms, legs, face, underarms, and your pubic hair as well. The second thing I expect from you is to be thoroughly cleansed inside as well, but you only have to do that before a scene; I’m sure you understand the reasoning for that.”



“Clean shaven…” Naruto mused. “That’s a new one, but I don’t mind. I don’t really like being hairy, anyway.” Reaching for his mug, he cupped it in his hands and sipped, resting it on his knee in between. He was actually pleased. It gave him an excuse to shave without being ridiculed. He knew Kiba would have a few things to say about it otherwise – but his friend knew he took the lifestyle seriously and Kiba didn’t make fun of him for following his Dom’s guidelines. Thankfully.



But he wasn’t quite sure what to make of the last one. “You mean…” He turned his head so he could look back at Sasuke, biting gently at his bottom lip with a fang. “If I’m wrong, I’m going to feel completely stupid… but you mean an enema before each scene? I’ve… never done that before and I’m not even sure how….  You, um…” He flushed softly and turned away. “You might have to explain the reasoning, because I’m… I’m clean and I’ve never been asked to do that before…”



Sasuke looked at the blonde for a moment. “You’ve never been asked to do that? The reasoning isn’t that special, it’s more of a sanitary thing really. I’m sure you’re asshole is pleasant but, I like to use my mouth, a lot.” That should satisfy the blonde. The raven had to mentally chuckle at the utterly confused look that had crossed Naruto’s face. “If you want, I can help you for your first time.”



Naruto’s flush deepened, the heat spreading across his cheeks and down his neck. Okay, he shouldn’t have asked but he liked to be clear about things. But imagining Sasuke using his mouth ‘a lot’ was… He shook his head, knowing he shouldn’t go there yet. It was really hard not to.



And then he laughed, shaking his head for an entirely different reason. “I have to admit, I’ve never talked about enema’s my first time meeting someone. I’m sure I can figure it out. Hopefully. I think it’d kind of ruin the mood if you had to help me… but I am pretty useless with stuff like that. Not that I’ve ever done stuff like that… but I am pretty clumsy sometimes.” He laughed again, thinking of everything that could go wrong.



“It would ruin the mood even more if you didn’t do it properly, which is why I’m saying you can ask me.” Sasuke couldn’t help but continue to look into those blue eyes; he was already starting to love them.  “You don’t have to worry about it yet though, we still have a while before our first scene I’m sure.”



There were a lot of things to discuss still and Sasuke knew that there probably wouldn’t be time to discuss all of it that day, depending on how long Naruto stayed. “I’d like a copy of your work schedule so that I know when you’ll be home… or should be home.” He smirked at that last statement, wondering what kind of comeback the blonde had for him.



“I’m a good boy,” Naruto grinned. “I don’t go out too often anymore. I used to, until I met a certain someone that I started talking to every night. At least now that we’ve met, I can actually physically spend time with you instead of just sitting at a computer all the time.”



Finishing off his coffee, the blond set his mug on the coffee table and settled back down against Sasuke. “I’ll get you a copy so you can start keeping track of me. I’ll check it once I get home.”



“Thank you…” Sasuke continued the soft stroking to Naruto’s hair as he was content to just sit there with the blonde in his arms. He was very anxious to get started, his attraction for the other making it hard to keep his hands or his eyes off him for long.



“I wanted to ask you… how have your previous Doms dealt with punishment?” He was a bit worried about asking; knowing it would probably bring up bad memories for Naruto, figuring it was probably one of the biggest causes of abuse. It usually was for most cases where abuse was involved in a D/s relationship.



“I’ve had some that aren’t so bad, and they just dealt punishments according to what I did wrong… spankings and minor stuff like that,” Naruto sighed. “I’m not afraid to take what I deserve, but…”



He worried his bottom lip and curled in on himself a bit as memories flashed behind his eyes. “My ex… it seemed no matter what I did, it was always wrong… I tried so hard but even just using my safe word… I got punished for that and… and his punishments always included a lot of pain, blood and it took me days to recover from one. Even for minor things, like this one time I skipped showering one day because I was so busy… I was ‘dirty’ I guess, even though I’d showered the night before…”



He shuddered and his tails instinctively curled around his body. “How do you deal with them?” he asked, his voice holding a hint of anxiety.



“For one, I don’t give physical punishment. I don’t see it being the least bit effective. I don’t want my subs to be afraid of me and feel the need to watch everything they do out of fear. Basically what I do is take away privileges. But it really depends on what I feel deserves punishment. Basically if you’re respectful to me and follow my direction, then there shouldn’t be any worry. I don’t just give out punishments for nothing.” He pulled the blonde closer, rubbing his back comfortingly. He hated seeing Naruto so bothered and he promised himself that he would never put that kind of fear in the blonde’s head; ever.  



Naruto visibly relaxed as Sasuke spoke and he mentally cursed himself for getting so worried in the first place. It was understandable why he had, but he knew the raven was the complete opposite of his ex. Everything the Uchiha had told him so far only supported that fact.



“So basically, you’d treat me like a teenager,” he surmised. “If I do something you feel I deserve to be punished for, you’d take something like my computer or TV privileges away. Maybe not that exactly, but that’s pretty much it, right?”



“Well if you feel like putting it that way, then yes.” Sasuke chuckled, his hand still rubbing the blonde’s back. “Although I can’t see too many problems with you, I can already tell you’re the kind of sub that strives to please their Dom.”



“Honestly, there’s no better feeling than knowing my Dom is pleased with me,” Naruto smiled, leaning back into Sasuke’s touch. “It just makes me feel so… fulfilled, you know? Knowing that I’ve done my job to keep things running smoothly and to keep him happy… that’s what makes me happy.”



“And I love seeing my sub happy as well.” Sasuke’s lips pressed against the blonde’s forehead. It was so comfortable having Naruto there in his home, it just felt so right. There was nothing he loved more than having his sub living under the same roof. Although they were just starting out and Sasuke knew it would take time for Naruto to trust him enough to actually move in with him, he hoped that it would happen sooner rather than later. He hated sleeping alone.  “You can stay for a while can’t you? I don’t want to keep you from anything.”



“I can stay,” Naruto answered right away, and then flushed at his obvious eagerness. “I don’t have anything planned today and I don’t work ‘til like 5 tomorrow, so I’m not in any rush.”



Well that sounded promising… Sasuke couldn’t help but imagine what they could do in all that time, and it seemed Naruto was very eager to spend time with him. “Well, since you have all that free time… would you like to stay the night? I know it’s a bit sudden for me to ask but I think we’ve had an adequate amount of time to get to know each other.”



Naruto’s eyes widened and he turned to look at Sasuke, trying to gauge if he was serious or not. The raven looked nothing but serious. Thinking it over for a second, he nodded slowly. “Sure. I mean, it’s not like I’ve really just met you. I’ve technically known you for a month now, so… yeah. I think I’d like that.”



“Good… is there anything you need to get from your place? I can take you there if you want. Also…” Sasuke carefully removed himself from underneath the blonde and went to his bedroom quickly before returning with a piece of paper.  “I have this for you… it’s your contract with me. Since we’ve gone over almost everything for now, I thought I’d let you read it over and sign it.”



“Yeah… I better get some clothes from my place. Actually, I think it’d be a good idea to pack a bag and keep it here for times like these,” Naruto decided. “At least until we decide to make other arrangements, because I’ll probably be here a lot.”



The blonde’s ears perked with curiosity as Sasuke left the room. When the raven returned, he couldn’t help but grin.



“You had that ready for me, huh? Can I see it?” Taking the sheet of paper when it was handed over, he quickly read through it. It was pretty standard, with the added personalized instructions of the body hair and enema thing.



“So, do you want me to do that while I’m at home? Shave before I come back over, I mean… If you don’t mind hanging out at my place, I can do it… Unless you don’t mind me doing it here. Or… well, you never said when you wanted me to start that…” he murmured as he pulled a pen from his pocket and scrawled his signature where indicated.



The raven couldn’t help but laugh at how adorably flustered the man got, it was so cute. “Wherever you want.” He took the signed paper from Naruto and took it back to his office to make a copy before handing Naruto one. “You’ll keep this one and if the time comes where you want to end the relationship, just give this back to me.” Sasuke hated to say those words but it needed to be said. He couldn’t foresee that happening though.



“I’ll put it away in a special spot once we get to my place,” Naruto smiled, though, oddly, he couldn’t see it happening. Just the thought of going back to the way his life had been before he’d met Sasuke made him depressed. He’d never liked swinging from relationship to relationship and hurting people all the time. Despite what most people thought, he actually wanted a permanent relationship. He had a chance, now, and he didn’t want to mess it up. Not that he was just with Sasuke because of the need for something permanent. He genuinely liked the Uchiha.



“So…” Naruto stood and made his way over to Sasuke, a cute little cheeky grin lighting his face. “Does this mean we’re… together then? The contract is signed and we’ve gone over everything important…”



Wrapping his arms around the blonde, Sasuke pressed his lips to Naruto’s gently nothing but affection in his eyes. “That’s exactly what it means, and I plan to keep you for a long time.” His hands caressed Naruto’s back, occasionally stroking the soft fur of Naruto’s many tails. He knew he was going to love those tails, he already did.



“I hope you do,” Naruto smiled softly, laying his cheek against Sasuke’s chest. He sighed softly and one of his tails wrapped gently around the raven’s hand, as though it had a mind of its own. The soft fur brushed softly over his skin, skimming back and forth slowly.



“It’s weird to think I have a Dom now… It’s been so long since I’ve been able to say that, and especially say it proudly.”



“I’m glad you feel that way. I know you’ll make a great sub, I can already tell.” With one last kiss, Sasuke broke away from the embrace, comforting himself with the fact that there would be a lot more time for that later.



“Shall we go then?” he smiled as he grabbed his coat once more and slid his shoes back on.



“I already am a great sub, you just haven’t really gotten to experience it yet,” Naruto teased, grinning as he whirled around towards the door to grab his shoes. He tugged them on and then opened the door, stepping out into the hallway.



“I’ll just have to text Kiba, because he always bugs me on my days off. I don’t wanna deal with his calls all night.” He did it as they headed down to the car, not exactly explaining where he’d be. He knew the Inuzuka assumed he was just with his newest fling. He was not looking forward to telling him the truth.



“I’m guessing that’s a friend of yours?” Sasuke pressed the button on the elevator and waited for the doors to open before stepping in with the blonde. He had to admit he was curious to see where Naruto lived. From the way the blonde talked about it, it didn’t seem like much. However, Sasuke had a feeling the man was probably over exaggerating a bit.



“Oh, yeah… Kiba’s my best friend. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be here with you now.” Naruto stepped in beside Sasuke and leaned back against the wall. “I was totally against getting back into the scene but he tricked me into this totally stupid bet because he knew how much I missed it. His plan was for me to lose so he could force me back into it. I lost, and that’s why I signed up on that site.”



“I should thank him then…” Sasuke pulled Naruto close, bringing their lips together, not caring in the least if someone else got on the elevator. He would take any opportunity to show off the fact that Naruto belonged to him. He was sure that Naruto would turn a few heads in the D/s community. Speaking of which… “I was thinking of what we could do tonight and I thought I could take you to a D/s club… We don’t have to do anything there but I’d like you to meet some people that I spend a lot of time with and they’re very interested in meeting you.”



“I haven’t been to a club in a long time. I’d love to go again and meet your people. I think I still have all my clothes from when I used to practically live there…” Naruto tried to think of where he’d stashed everything as they made their way to Sasuke’s car. He climbed into the passenger seat once the door had been unlocked and buckled himself in. “So, how do you work this? Are you into the whole collar and leash thing, or what?”



Sasuke got into the car and started the engine, pulling out of his space and heading toward the exit of the garage. “I take more of a modest approach. If you want a collar that’s fine but any form of jewelry is also adequate. For example, if your job requires a certain dress code, which I would guess is the case considering where you work, then a bracelet or an earring would be fine too. The purpose of a collar, in my opinion, isn’t to show others that you belong to me, but to give you a feeling of belonging.” Sasuke pulled out into the street and headed back the way they had come, remembering Naruto had said that he lived near the Ramen shop they had been to for lunch.



“I’m not a big jewelry person, but… I am partial to collars,” the blond admitted. “And it’s not a problem at work, as long as it’s tasteful. Maybe it’s the animalistic thing that makes me like it. I’m not sure, but it makes me feel good. If you’d rather me wear a bracelet or something, I can do that. I’m sure there’ll be something I like.”



“I’m not going to decide that for you, if you want a collar, then you’ll get one.” Sasuke took Naruto’s hand in his as he drove, running his thumb along the back of it. “What kind of collar would you like?”



Naruto squeezed the raven’s hand and smiled as he turned his head to look out the window. “I’ve never really worn one before, so I’m not sure. I’ve… never accepted one before. I think something leather would be nice, though. Maybe black… or dark blue.”



Sasuke smiled, thinking about how cute a black leather collar would look on Naruto. He knew just what to put on it too. “I don’t give collars right away though, they have to be earned. Some Doms see collars as a symbol of complete ownership and feel the need to ‘collar’ their subs as soon as possible. A collar should be something special and meaningful and should be given once there’s complete trust between both partners; which is why I’ve never had the pleasure of giving one either. I’ve never been able to find the right sub.”



He had a feeling Naruto would be getting a collar. He had made sure to take his time with the blonde. His previous relationships had been anything but pleasant with the exception of a very select few, but even they didn’t work out very long. He had realized his problem was that he became involved way too early. Usually after only one conversation he’d give out a contract. This time though, he wanted to do it differently, take his time and really make sure that he was getting involved with someone who he could really be compatible with.



“No, I agree. I don’t want you to just give me a collar, or else it’s kind of meaningless. Well, not meaningless, but you know what I mean,” Naruto murmured. “When I finally get collared, I want it to be special. Every time I look at it, I want to smile because it reminds me of my bond with you.”



“That’s exactly how I hoped you’d feel about it.” Sasuke turned onto the freeway and focused on driving once more, placing his hand back on the wheel with his other. He loved the feeling of content and compatibility he felt with Naruto and knew that it probably wouldn’t be long until he felt ready to give his new sub a collar of his own.
