In the morning, as Hiro woke up, a fragrant smell filled his nose, pulling him from his dreams.
Blinking against the soft morning light filtering through the window, he turned to see Tsunade still asleep beside him.
Her long hair spilled across the pillow, and her face was relaxed, but Hiro couldn't ignore how her legs were wrapped around him, holding him close as if he might slip away.
He felt a rush of warmth at the sight of her, and a mischievous thought crossed his mind. He leaned in, brushing his lips against hers, savoring the softness.
Just as he deepened the kiss, letting his tongue swirl against hers, he caught the faintest smirk on her lips.
But Tsunade didn't stir, feigning sleep, and that only fueled his confidence. He pulled back slightly, eyes narrowing playfully as he whispered, "Tsunade, I know you're awake."
No response came, but he could see the corners of her mouth twitching as if she were fighting back a smile. Encouraged, he leaned in again, capturing her lips more insistently. The kiss deepened, his hands tangling in her hair as he lost himself in the moment.
Finally, Tsunade let out a soft sigh, her eyes fluttering open. "What do you think you're doing?" she asked.
"Just enjoying the juicy lips of this beauty," Hiro replied, his heart racing at the sight of her waking.
"Enjoying, huh?" She raised an eyebrow, clearly not ready to let him off easy. "You know that's a good way to get yourself knocked out, right?"
"Maybe I like a little danger," he shot back.
...
After finishing their meal, Hiro and Tsunade left the inn and made their way to the next town, a journey that took about two days.
Once they settled into another inn, Hiro noticed the cozy atmosphere with the sounds of laughter and dishes clinking in the background. As he looked around, something caught his eye—a paper butterfly landed softly on his shoulder.
He unfolded the message: "Meet me at the waterfall." He knew it was from Konan.
"Tsunade," he said, trying to sound casual. "I'll be back soon. I need to take care of something."
She raised an eyebrow. "Where are you going? We just got here."
"Just a quick stop," he reassured her, though he could see her skepticism.
"Fine, but don't take too long," she replied, giving him a warning look.
With a nod, he slipped out into the cool night air, eager to reach the waterfall.
As he approached the waterfall, the sound of rushing water filled the air. The moonlight shimmered on the surface, illuminating the rocks.
There stood Konan, her figure outlined against the moonlight.
"Hiro," she called, turning to him. Her eyes sparkled with warmth.
"Konan," he said, smiling as he walked over. "I got your message."
"I knew you would," she replied.
"I wanted to see you away from everything."
He nodded as he sat beside her, the soothing sound of the waterfall in the background.
Gathering her courage, Konan moved a bit closer. Hiro noticed her blush as he placed his hand on her hip.
"Are you okay?" he asked softly.
She nodded as he tightened his grip on her hip. He moved his head close to her neck, holding there a little to see if she wanted him to back down or not.
He brushed his lips against the soft skin of her neck, relishing the warmth beneath his touch. Konan's breath caught in her throat, and he felt her lean into him, encouraging his advance.
Seeing her reaction, he felt a surge of confidence. He slowly pulled back, searching her eyes for any sign of hesitation.
But all he found was a spark of desire reflected in her gaze.
With a gentle tug, he moved closer, capturing her lips with his. The kiss was soft at first as both his hands reached her hips, which felt incredibly soft.
Konan's heart raced as Hiro's lips moved against hers. She had never felt this way before, as if she were floating on a cloud of pure bliss.
With a gentle tug, he pulled her closer, deepening the kiss. His hands moved from her neck down to her hips, pulling her body flush against his.
She melted into him, reveling in the warmth and strength of his embrace. Her hands slid up his chest, tangling in his soft hair as she explored the contours of his face.
Hiro's hands roamed over her curves, sending shivers down her spine. She gasped into the kiss as he trailed kisses along her jawline and down to her neck.
Her head fell back in ecstasy as he nibbled and sucked on the sensitive skin of her throat. She moaned softly, unable to contain the pleasure coursing through her body.
With each touch and caress, Konan felt herself falling deeper and deeper into Hiro's spell. She had never been so consumed by desire before.
But just as things were heating up between them, Hiro suddenly pulled away. He gazed at her with intense, passionate eyes filled with hesitation.
"I'm sorry," he whispered breathlessly. "I shouldn't have done that."
Konan's heart sank at his words. Did he regret kissing her? Was she not enough for him?
"Do you not like me?"
"No!"
"Then why did you stop?" she asked.
He looked at her face. "This is so open, and we are outside. I don't think it is appropriate to go more than a kiss."
Konan felt a wave of relief wash over her at his explanation. She had been afraid that he didn't want her, but it seemed like he was just being considerate.
"But I want more," she blurted out without thinking.
Hiro's eyebrows shot up in surprise, but a small smile tugged at the corners of his lips. "You do?"
She nodded, feeling emboldened by his reaction. "I've never felt this way before, Hiro. I want to be with you."
The reason she was so desperate was that she was jealous of Pakura and Mikoto. Why did they get to enjoy time with him, while she didn't?
Over the years spent with him, she hadn't realized that she had started loving him, even though he was already with two women. She didn't care.
"And I have my paper butterflies in all directions. If someone approaches, I will know before they even get here," she said.
"So it won't be a problem to do it in the open," she muttered, her voice barely audible, but he heard it.
"I have no problem if you want it," he said as he slowly leaned closer, pressing her down onto the soft grass.
She felt a surge of excitement and anticipation as Hiro leaned in closer, pressing her down onto the soft grass. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer for another kiss.
Konan had never felt so alive and free before. All her worries and fears seemed to melt away in the heat of their passion.
