Just This Once

Chapter 2

Sasuke retrieved his drink and followed Naruto to one of the tables farthest away from the bar. Now that he'd committed to taking Shikamaru's advice, he had to figure out how to go about seducing the alluring blond while ensuring he knew it would be a one time thing. He couldn't pinpoint why he felt uneasy about doing so. No one had ever turned him down before, so surely this beautiful omega wouldn't. Maybe because Naruto would be the second omega he's ever actually looked at?

Sasuke watched as the small blond quickly slipped off his hoodie before tossing it on the back of his seat. He didn't miss how Naruto's blue t-shirt rose up, giving him a glimpse of that deliciously lean body. But alas, all good things must come to an end. That didn't stop Sasuke from wondering if that creamy, honey coloured skin extended further than just that sinful abdomen. Hell, Sasuke found himself wanting to lick that cute little navel just to see if it tasted as sweet as it looked...and he hated sweets.

The thought of how the gorgeous omega would taste brought Sasuke to the other issue he'd never had, he really wanted to scent Naruto. He wanted to know what he smelled like, wanted to know if their scents would mingle as erotically as the samples his brain was so graciously providing him with. It was something that he did with Sakura upon her request. He had hoped that rubbing his scent on her would help curb her insecurities but with her weak — nearly imperceivable — scent, it was impossible for them to intertwine. She inevitably got lost in his powerful allure. Being coated in his scent had a temporary calming effect on the pink haired omega, but that did little to help Sasuke when he'd leave and return home once again. What she really wanted was for him to smell like her and that was just an impossibility.

Sasuke wanted to scoff at himself. He didn't understand why he felt so strongly about wanting to know what Naruto smelled like. Sure Naruto was the most beautiful person he'd ever laid eyes on, but an omega was still an omega. He should be grateful the blond wore scent blockers, at least it prevented him from rudely scrunching his nose up in revulsion.

Now that the omega's tantalizing abdomen was hidden, Sasuke's eyes sought out the blond's face but stopped when they reached his neck. Sasuke realized Naruto had on, a beautifully ornate collar. It was similar to those worn by omega's during heats to prevent accidental markings, but this one seemed thicker and more intricate. It was a rich tawny leather that shone under the pale bar lights. Judging by the way Naruto's shirt raised at the base of his neck, this collar stretched from below his chin, down and over his shoulders and wrapped to reach the beginning of his clavicle. Sasuke couldn't see but he'd bet that it went just as far down the back of Naruto's shoulders. He'd never seen one up close before but from what he knew about them, this one was different from the rest.

Sasuke found himself fighting the urge to growl at the thought of Naruto being out while possibly entering his heat. Did this idiot not have any self preservation? He was already breathtaking, he didn't need another reason for alpha to be all over him. Without thinking, Sasuke's eyes darted around to make sure no one was looking at the beautiful blond that was with him.

"Are you going to sit down?" Naruto's soft, soothing voice broke him of his musings.

"Hn," Sasuke played it cool and took his seat. He may be having conflicting thoughts and feelings but he'd be damned if he'd let them show.

Naruto cocked a golden brow. "So, Sasuke, what brings you to a hotel bar on a Friday night?" Naruto was a little curious after hearing the alpha passively threaten the overzealous bartender. One only spoke that way if they could back up their words. Something made Naruto instinctively know that Sasuke's words were not empty.

The way his name rolled off Naruto's tongue sent euphoric tingles down Sasuke's spine. He was so affected that he almost didn't register the petite man's question. Sasuke breathed sharply at himself before finally answering. "I'm staying here."
