Turning Up The Heat
Zutara Week 2013
Day 1: Calor
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
AN: This will be seven chapters, therefore for each day of prompts. I hope to make all of the chapters connected in their storyline, but that might not work out. If that is to be the case I will state those chapters as being independent.
AN 2: This first prompt follows my previous Zutara Week stories entitled Looking At You, Trying To Spy, and Breaking Down Barriers. I hope you enjoy the fourth installment.
WARNING: Some sexuality and language.

He grabbed me by the shoulders pulled me to him and kissed me. Not a shy tentative kiss, but a deep passionate one. After the shock wore off I tangled my fingers in his hair and kissed him back.

-~ZxK~- (Katara's POV)

Oh my Spirits! Is this right? What am I doing? I know that I should be running through the reasons to stop kissing him but I can't seem to recall any reasons that are remotely negative. The only thing running through my mind is to do whatever it takes to keep Zuko kissing me.

This is why I am freaking out. Because, in order for Zuko to continue to kiss me I have to keep him interested and in order to keep him interested I have to kiss him back. I had only ever kissed Aang before and that shouldn't even count because it was only a peck. So I have no idea what I am supposed to do. Hmm… maybe I should try to mimic Zuko's actions.

I open my mouth in order to lick his lips like he has done to mine.

Holy… Did Zuko just growl?

-~ZxK~- (Zuko's POV)

Oh Shit. Katara is going to waterbend my ass back to the fire nation. I can't believe I could be so stupid as to kiss her. Well if she's going to kick my ass I might as well get the most out of this kiss.

I rub my tongue against her soft bottom lip slowly as I continue to kiss her. I begin to open my mouth wider in order to worry her lip between my teeth when Katara snaps out of her shock.

I brace myself for the worst but surprisingly Katara runs her tongue against my lips.

I let out a growl and don't stop to think as I dive back in. Wrapping my left arm around Katara's back I pull her closer to me. With my other hand I cup the back of her neck as I plunge deeper into the warm depths of her mouth.

Once we are forced to let in much needed air I trail my mouth across her jaw and down her smooth neck, breathing in her scent as I go. The scent, taste, and sight of Katara causes me lose whatever control I had left.

-~ZxK~- (Katara's POV)

My head falls back as Zuko moves his lips down my neck. I'm not sure exactly what he's doing with his mouth but I don't intend to stop him in order to find out.

This is amazing. I think as I twist my fingers in his hair and tug. I feel sensual and safe and warm. Very warm. In fact it feels like my skin is burning.

I gasp. Zuko seems to think this is encouragement and grabs me tighter. I close my eyes and lose myself in the feeling of his mouth on my skin.

The burning heat is uncomfortable now and I lift my head up in order to tell Zuko.

"Zuko you in there? I need your opinion on something," yells Sokka from the other side of Zuko's door.

Zuko and I pull back from each other so quickly I'm surprised we didn't fall backwards.

"What Sokka? I'm in here," Zuko replies.

Sokka barges in and looks over at me. I do my best to compose myself.

"What were you two doing?"

"Nothing." I reply keeping my gaze firmly on Sokka.

"Are you sure? You look like you guys have been… sparring. And don't try to deny it the evidence is clear. I mean how else would Zuko burn your shirt."

I frown and pull at my shirt. Sure enough there is a hand sized burn mark on the back of my shirt.

"Now that your done fighting I need to talk to you Zuko. Katara get out."

I head to the door blush rising on my cheeks as I go.

I leave the room so distracted I don't even argue with Sokka for ordering me around.

Well, that explains the heat.
