I may be biting off more than I can chew but here is a third Korrasami story. I'm finding that I'm bouncing around to different stories.
I want to give a big shout out to Nicole The Dragon Rider for all the support. I tossed in some playful flirting for you and I'm adding more to this one and the other two just for you.
So, enjoy.

Korra looked up at the night sky and inhaled deeply. She smiled softly when she saw two spirits playfully chase each other across the sky. I hope I made the right decision in keeping the portals open. She gnawed her lip nervously. I wonder how the other Avatars would handle this situation. Oh well, without the connection to the past Avatars I'm on my own. Her eyes slid shut as she tired to align her energy with that of the planet's.
"Korra?"
She let out an annoyed sigh. She had been trying to meditate like this all day and one person after the other kept pestering her. She sat still, hoping that a lack of a response would discourage any further interruptions from whoever this was.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt. I'll leave you be."
Korra cocked an eyebrow. Is that who I think it is? She turned.
"Asami?"
Asami stopped and turned back. She smiled at Korra.
"I'm sorry. I'm not interrupting am I?"
Korra shook her head. "You? No. Everyone else? Yes." Asami chuckled and walked back over. Korra touched the ground next to her. "Have a seat." Asami sat and crossed her legs.
"I just wanted to see how you were doing. I know things have been over for a few days but I've been busy trying to get things for Future Industries around." Asami said running a hand through her hair. "Every time I thought about coming around to see you something else happened."
"Well, I'm glad you even thought about it." She bumped Asami's arm playfully.
Asami smiled and laid back on the ground, staring up into the night sky. "The spirits almost seem like they're dancing across the sky. It's beautiful."
Korra nodded and lay back next to Asami.
"Asami, I want to thank you for getting my dad out of harm's way." Korra said. "I wouldn't trust anyone else with is safety."
"That's sweet of you to say, Korra. I just like to be able to help you." Asami rolled her head over to look at Korra. "I really want us to be friends. I've always really liked you, but I feel like all this stuff with Mako got in the way."
Korra looked over at Asami and nodded. "I want that too. Mako and I ended things anyway. We both know it's not going to work. So, there's that if you're interested."
Asami snorted. "No, I'm done with all that. He yanked me around twice. I have more important things to focus on. I have a company to pull out of the fire and hopefully a new friendship to pursue."
Korra raised an eyebrow at Asami, who propped herself up on her elbows.
"Sorry, Korra. I don't want to be presumptuous."
"Why do you want to be friends so badly? I'm not saying I don't want to be, but we don't seem to have much in common."
Asami sighed. "I've always really liked you. When we first met I tried so hard to get you to like me, but you never seemed to. After a while I realized it was because of Mako, so I ended things with him. He and I were going nowhere. He was so wrapped up in you. Plus, I was hoping the two of us could still be friends."
Korra propped herself up as well while she listened intently. I had no idea Asami liked me so much. Now I feel really bad for brushing her off all this time.
"Believe it or not I am sorry for rushing back to him after you guys ended things the first time." Asami said gazing up at the stars. "I'm not even really sure why. I just felt like it was something I was supposed to do."
"What does that mean?"
"I have no idea. My emotions have been thrown every direction in the past couple of months."
Asami sat up and drew her legs to her chest. She wrapped her arms around her legs and rested her forehead on her knees. Korra sat up and moved next to Asami. She wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
"Asami? Are you ok?" Korra asked with concern.
Asami shrugged her shoulders. She leaned into Korra and sighed. Korra unconsciously turned and pulled Asami into a tight hug. "Talk to me, Asami."
"I don't even know where to start." She slid her arms around Korra. "I guess I'm still trying to digest everything that's happened in the last year: Tarrlok, Amon, and now all of this? Not to mention the disaster that's been my personal life: my dad, Mako, and you."
"Me?"
Asami nodded.
"Korra, I can't get you out of my head." She pulled back just far enough to look Korra in the eyes. "When Jinora woke up the first thing that came into my mind was to ask if you were alright."
"You said you've always really wanted us to be friends."
Asami looked away. "I don't know. I'm just really confused all of a sudden."
Korra pulled back and studied Asami. She crossed her arms and nodded thoughtfully. "Alright, tell me what we have to do to make you feel better?"
Asami smiled softly. "I don't know if that's such a good idea." Korra shook her head.
"Nope. As you friend we're going to fix this slump you're in." She stood and pulled Asami up with her. "Come on, what are we doing. Anything you want."
Asami brushed the snow off of her pants. She looked up at Korra nervously. "Korra, I just have some feelings I need to sort out."
Korra put her hands on her hips. "Alright. We're sorting them out. Right here and now. Do whatever you need to do."
"Are you sure?" Asami asked stepping toward Korra slowly.
"Whatever you need to do, Asami. I'm here for you."
Asami placed a gloved hand on Korra's face. Her gaze dropped to her lips.
"Korra…" Asami whispered as she leaned in to the other woman.
Korra's eyes widened when she felt soft lips press against hers. She froze when she felt Asami slip her arms around her waist. Asami turned her head slightly and deepened the kiss. Korra's hands moved to the taller woman's shoulders and her hands dug in. She felt Asami's tongue flick across her lips. Her eyes closed and she pulled Asami in closer. Her mouth opened and her tongue shyly met Asami's. Their kiss grew heated and Korra wrapped her arms around Asami's neck.
A moment later Korra's eyes flew open and she pushed Asami away. Korra took a step away from her. Asami's cheeks flushed as her eyes locked with Korra's.
"Asami, wow." Korra whispered, her own blushing rising. She cleared her throat. "Um, what was that?"
Asami clasped a hand over her mouth. "Spirits, Korra. I'm so sorry. I don't know what came over me." She began to back away from the shorter woman. "I told you, I'm confused. I'm sorry."
Asami turned and ran back towards the village, leaving a stunned Korra staring after her. Korra brought a shaky hand to her lips, touching where Asami's had been. What the fuck was that?
#
Asami buried her face in her hands. What did I just do? Well, I'm not confused anymore but I think I really stepped in it this time. I'd be surprised if Korra ever speaks to me again. She groaned and flopped onto the bed.
She heard the door open slowly. She buried her face in the pillow; she didn't want to look anyone in the eye right now.
"Hey, Asami." Mako said stepping into the room. "I saw you run back here and you looked pretty panicked. Is everything alright?"
Asami lifted her head up and looked at Mako. She was genuinely surprised at the level of concern she saw in his eyes. She offered him a small smile. "I think I may have screwed things up with Korra. Even more so."
Mako sat down on the bed next to her. "If it makes you feel better I did too."
"Yeah, I heard. I'm sorry." Asami narrowed her eyes. "Don't even get the idea that this means you and I are getting back together."
Mako rubbed the back of his neck. "Yeah, about that. I'm sorry. I treated you poorly. I've been a bastard. I think I'm taking a break from romance for a while." Mako sighed. "I just hope we can still be friends."
Asami sat up and placed a hand on Mako's shoulder. "Of course. I forgive you, Mako."
Mako smiled and pulled Asami into a hug. She smiled and rested her forehead on his shoulder. "I'm glad we made peace. You're a great guy, Mako."
"And you're a great girl, Asami." Mako pulled back. "Now, what happened with Korra?"
Asami bit her lip and met his eyes. "It's kind of a long story."
Mako crossed his arms and smiled. "I have all the time in the world."
#
Tenzin glanced up and noticed a dazed Korra walking back to the village. He cocked an eyebrow and made his way over to her.
"Korra, are you alright? Did something happen with your meditation?"
She glanced up at him with a dazed look in her eyes. "Tenzin, Asami kissed me."
Tenzin's eyebrows shot up. "What?"
"We were talking. She was talking about having some confused feelings and I told that we'd do anything to help her with those confused feelings. Next thing, she's kissing me. Spirits, Tenzin, I think I liked it."
His eyes were wide as she just stared at Korra. He regained his composure and cleared his throat.
"Um, I am only your spiritual advisor. I don't think I'm the best to help you with this. Maybe you could speak to someone…else." He said nervously.
She nodded blankly and wandered towards the village again. Tenzin watched her go and when she was out of earshot he let out an anxious breath. Asami kissed Korra? Just when I thought things were going to calm down. He slumped his shoulders at the thought of having to deal with more of these romantic issues. He sighed and made his own way back to the village.
#
"You did what?"
"I kissed her." Asami ran a hand through her long hair. "I stepped forward and just went for it. On the plus side, I'm not confused anymore."
Mako's mouth fell open. "So, when we were dating…that's why nothing would ever happen…"
Asami shrugged with a guilty look. "I know I liked you. I always have, but I think I convinced myself it was more than it was. Don't get me wrong, I was pretty star struck when I found out it was you I hit with my scooter. I've always been a huge probending fan."
"Things are starting to make sense." Mako raised an eyebrow and looked at Asami carefully. "Always asking about Korra, all those times you came to practice, insisting that she come everywhere with us, and continuing to be on Team Avatar even after we broke up."
Asami smiled shyly. Mako just shook his head. "Well how about that. I'm sorry you had to convince yourself to feel that way about me. No one should have to lie to themselves." He wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "I'm glad you've figured things out. So, you like Korra?"
"Yeah, I guess I do. I think I always have."
Asami didn't miss the pained look in his eyes. She frowned internally. She reached out a cupped Mako's face with a hand.
"Mako, we don't have to talk about this. I know you're still hurting."
He shook his head. Yes, it hurt. It hurt a lot, but he wanted Korra to be happy. He felt he owed it to Asami. In light of her true feelings or not, he still treated her poorly. If Korra could be happy with Asami, then he'd help.
"It's fine. I think you both deserve to be happy. Korra will always have a special place in my heart, but we both need to move on." Mako said quietly.
Asami saw tears threaten Mako's eyes as he pulled her in close. Her heart dropped when she felt his shoulders begin to shake. No words were spoken; she simply stroked his hair and let him cry.
#
Korra had returned to her house and rushed straight to her room. She started a fire and lay back on the bed. Her mind drifted and her eyes slid shut.
"Korra…"
She shot up at clutched her chest. Her heart was pounding. She placed a hand to her lips. She could still feel Asami's soft ones pressed to hers. Wait, soft? Damn, now I'm the one that's confused.
She dropped onto her bed and groaned. Maybe a good night's rest will help. She got up and changed for bed. She turned down the sheets and slid in.
She glanced to the other side of the bed. It suddenly felt much larger than it usually did. Korra closed her eyes and drifted to sleep.
#
Korra opened her eyes and found herself staring into the dazzling green ones of Asami.
"Asami, what are-"
Korra was silenced by Asami's gentle kiss; she put her hands on either side of Asami's face and pulled her in deeper.
Korra pushed a thousand questions out of her mind and just lost herself in Asami's kiss. Asami pulled away and yanked the sheets off of Korra, who spread her legs to make room for Asami. Her hands found their way to Asami's hips and pulled her flush against her. Asami grabbed Korra's wrists and pinned them above her head.
Korra let out a soft moan when Asami trailed kisses down her throat. Asami nipped at Korra's collarbone, causing the younger woman to throw head back. Asami drug her tongue up Korra's throat and flicked it off her chin. Korra's breath became ragged pants. She strained against Asami's hands, silently begging for a kiss. Asami brought her mouth to Korra's ear. She lightly pressed her lips to it.
"Asami…kiss me…" Korra panted.
Asami smiled and flicked her tongue against her ear.
"Beg for it, my water tribe stallion."
#
Korra's eyes opened. She propped herself up and frantically looked around the room. Asami wasn't there. She pressed a hand to her chest and tired to calm her breathing.
Was it a dream? It was so vivid. Asami…
Korra wet her suddenly dry lips as her mind went back to her dream.
She's so beautiful. I…I want her.
She drew her eyebrows together.
"Wait, water tribe stallion? What the fuck?"
#
Asami closed her book and sighed. She couldn't concentrate, she hadn't been able to since that moment with Korra. She shut her eyes and replayed every instant. Part of her wanted to take it all back, but another part of her never wanted that kiss to end. I can't get her out of my mind. Everything makes so much sense now. It was never Mako. It was always her.
She visibly jumped when she heard and urgent rapping at the door. Who could that be? It's so late. She slipped out of bed and made her way to the door. She opened the door to meet the Korra's wild blue eyes. Korra burst into the room and pulled Asami into a fierce kiss.
Asami's hands slid to Korra's hips and pulled her close. She knew that she should stop, but it was too hard to fight these feelings. She let herself go. Korra wrapped her arms around Asami's neck and pulled her close, crushing their bodies together. Asami pulled Korra further into the room. She pulled away and kicked the door shut.
She pinned Korra to the door and nipped at her neck. Korra groaned and pulled Asami hard against her. Her legs opened and Asami pressed her thigh there, causing Korra to cry out. Asami nipped and sucked at Korra's neck. Korra threaded her hands into Asami's hair.
"Asami…" Korra panted. "It's everything I dreamed."
Asami pulled back and looked at Korra with questioning eyes.
"What did you say?"
"I had a dream. You came into my room, Spirits, Asami I want you." Korra moaned, pressing her lips to Asami's. "I want you."
Asami's mind went blank. She was stunned by the desire she saw in Korra's eyes, sure that her own revealed just as much. She felt captivated by those eyes. She couldn't look away, and she was very sorry when she came to her senses. Not yet. We need to talk this through. She pulled away from Korra.
"Korra, I want this. I want you, but we can't." Asami dropped her hands to her side. "I don't want to make a mistake."
Korra suddenly became very aware of the situation. Her face flushed. "Spirits, Asami I am so sorry." Asami shook her head.
"Don't be." She glanced at the bed. "Why don't you stay? We can talk about this."
Korra bit her lip and nodded. Asami took her hand and lead her to the bed. She pulled down the covers and slipped in. She motioned for Korra to join her. Korra moved closer to Asami's bed and swallowed hard. She nodded and settled next to her.
Asami smiled sympathetically. "Korra, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to confuse you."
"I actually think it helped me. After that first kiss I couldn't get you out of my head. I want you Asami. All of you."
Asami's eyes glazed over with desire. Korra moved closer as she continued.
"When I kissed Mako it was nice, but controlled. I thought there was passion, but I was wrong. Spirits, I was so wrong. Our kisses are full of passion. They make my heart ache."
Asami could feel her pulse radiate through her body. Her breath began to come quicker. Korra licked her lips.
"Korra, can I be honest?"
"Yes."
"I'm in love with you."
Korra's heart swelled at those words and they seemed to sear into her very soul. She locked eyes with Asami. They were so full of love. A ghost of a smile flashed across Korra's face. Everything had suddenly become so clear.
"I'm in love you too. Everything makes so much sense now. I loved Mako, but it wasn't the same."
The two women began to close the gap, both breathing heavily.
"I want you to touch me, Asami."
"I want to make love to you."
They were only inches apart, their breath mingling.
"Please do."
They came together in a soft kiss and fell back onto the bed.
#
Korra's eyes fluttered open. She looked at the soft light beginning to creep through the window. It was just after dawn. She looked to her side and smiled gently. Asami was fast asleep and her naked frame was wrapped in the sheet. Her lips were still swollen from their kisses and her hair was tussled from their frantic lovemaking.
She bit her lip as memories of the previous night crawled back. She blushed while she remembered clinging to Asami as she came over and over. The way Asami's hands traveled over body. She felt renewed. Alive.
She was embarrassed to admit that Asami was her first. She and Mako had never gotten very far and now she knew why. It wasn't his touch she craved. She leaned over and pressed a kiss on Asami's forehead.
Asami stirred and stretched. Her eyes opened slowly. A lazy smile danced across her features when she met Korra's eyes. She propped herself up with an elbow.
"Morning, lover." Asami purred.
"Mmmm." Korra said snuggling close to her.
"Korra, last night was amazing. I feel like things have cleared." Asami said stroking Korra's hair. "I like your hair down like this. It's beautiful. Well, more beautiful. You're absolutely breathtaking anyway."
"Oh look who's talking." Korra said placing a kiss on Asami's bare shoulder. "You are the epitome of beauty and grace."
Asami blushed gracefully and trailed a hand down Korra's exposed hip. Korra shivered under her touch.
"Can I admit something, Asami?"
"You can tell me anything, love."
"Last night, was my…um…it was my first time."
Korra blushed and she suddenly felt exposed. She, too, was wrapped in nothing but the sheet.
"Mine too."
Korra's eyebrows shot up. Asami winked. "I never really dated before Mako and I never felt comfortable going much further than kissing. It all makes sense now." She said with a chuckle while dragging her fingers up and down Korra's hard abdomen. "I can't believe we got to share that last night."
"I love you, Asami."
"I love you too."
Korra moved closer and squeezed Asami's well-rounded backside. Asami giggled and kissed Korra on the nose. "So, where does this leave us?"
Asami sighed. "I had wanted us to take our time, talk through things, and what not. However, we seemed to give in to our more carnal urges last night," She rested her forehead against Korra's. "And I don't regret a single second of it."
Korra flashed a wolfish grin. "Good, because neither do I. So, are we…lovers?"
Asami winked. "I'd like to be. Considering I already called you 'lover'."
The two women locked eyes and smiled. They settled into each other's arms. "It's still pretty early 'Sami. Why don't we get some more sleep?"
"Sounds good to me." Asami yawned. She rested her head on Korra's shoulder. The two women coasted into a deep sleep.

I totally wanted my own water tribe stallion moment. I got it and I have no regrets. (None whatsoever.)
I know this is a little jumpy but I want to do longer chapters rather than a bunch of little ones. Anyway, I hope it worked out. Please toss me a review. Tell me what you think. You guys rock.
