    Summary

    Some defense attorneys are so anti-prosecutor, they cannot hold an amiable conversation. Temari has never understood that perspective.

    And, of course, she's always been told the old adage you catch more flies with honey. As though he'll work better with her if they're not arguing all the time.

    That's why she's here and talking with him. That's why she's agreed to this single drink even after finding out who she'll be drinking with. That's why she's leaning closer and feeling the ache along the back of her tongue. That's why.

    Like she's honey and he's something to be caught.

    Summary

    Temari eyes the man. "You're hitting on me."

    "I'm not."

    "You are."

    "Do you want me to be?"

    God, he's so annoying.

    She can feel how annoying he is all the way in her fingertips. Feel it thrum into the corners of her mouth that she has to fight to keep from pulling up.

    Summary

    Some nights he can close his eyes and imagine how different it could be, how different they would be... but it's not different. And they’re not different: she is still the princess occupying his home, and he is still the bodyguard, sworn to protect her.

    Summary

    Temari smirks. “I’m going to hate myself, aren’t I?”

    Shikamaru frowns, concerned, confused, starting to breathe heavy as he watches her, but he doesn’t move.

    “Hate yourself?” He repeats carefully, in question.

    “For having sex with you.”

    Summary

    The councilor looks up at her. “Any questions?”

    “No, Sir.”

    He nods.

    “Good,” he says, not seeming to care too much about the situation at hand. Perhaps they send out more people across the world than she thinks. He lifts a hand and gestures between her and the man. “Temari, this is Shikamaru Nara. Your husband.”
