Suki wanted more than anything to be the first to wake up the next morning. She wanted to pleasure him as he woke up. It was a silly notion but one that she thought was sexy none the less. As she rolled over in bed though she knew that it would not happen this morning. She was alone in bed, a thin sheet around her thin body. She sat up, her hands going to her hair and rubbing her head.

She thought for a moment about the night before, about the fact that they had finally made love. She ran her hands over her body, feeling her soft curves with a smile. She laughed a little bit feeling as she had been claimed by Zuko in a way. It made her melt a little bit thinking about it.

She took enormous pleasure in knowing that he not only loved her, but that they belonged to one another now. She felt like he had given her apart of himself out of love and pleasure.

Her hand went to her stomach, thinking about the possible side effect of this latest step in their relationship. She would not mind it if it happened, if she got pregnant. She loved him so much and looked forward to seeing their love make a baby; their baby.

But that was not for right now.

She crept out of bed, getting lonesome without him next to her. She looked around the floor and grabbed the first thing that she saw; his wrinkled up shirt. She put the large shirt on, the bottom hem of it hitting her right below her hips. She thought about going back to her own room to get some pants, but then decided against it. She walked from the bedroom, her heart aflutter thinking about being with him again.

She silently crept down the hall way toward the kitchen, looking for her love. She then heard his voice. She froze, worried that there was someone in the kitchen with him. She pressed herself on the cool wall as she listed, closing her eyes. After a few moment she smiled to herself, it becoming apparent that he was not talking to someone, but just to himself.

She smiled to herself as she walked the rest of the way down the hall way, her feet pressing on the wood floor. She peeked around the corner of the kitchen, looking in and seeing him standing before the stove.

She held onto the door frame with her finger tips, smiling at seeing him. He was in his red sleep pants, nothing else on except scratches and finger nail marks all over his body. She blushed, taking a little bit of joy in this fact.

Her eyes went to his hair though. It had grown so much in the past year, but still held its dark and rich tone. He had it pulled back in a messy bun at the back of his head, much like a woman would. She was jealous and in awe at the same time; knowing that she could never get her hair to look as nice as his did right now. It made him even more beautiful to her; it made her want him even more.

He finally saw her out of the corner of his eye, looking over and smiling lightly at her. "Good morning Beautiful." He told her in a soft voice. She just smiled softly as him, walking over to him; feeling like she was being drawn to him with some kind of primeval magnetism. "Did you sleep well?" He asked her, looking back to the skillet in which he was cooking eggs. She just nodded, standing behind him as she wrapped her arms around his waist, putting her mouth on his shoulder as she watched his hands move while cooking. "I was going to make the eggs over easy, but I kinda burst the one so they became scrambled." He told her with a shrug, adding some spices to the eggs.

"I'm sure they will be wonderful." She told him as she kissed the nape of his neck, making him shiver happily.

"Are you still hurting?" He asked her, looking back at her.

She nodded, "A little, but its better." She rubbed his upper arms with a soft smile.

He nodded softly, looking back to the skillet. "Do you wanna eat this in bed?"

"Breakfast in bed?" She asked herself then nodded with a smile, "I would like that."

"Then go back to bed." He told her, the corners on his mouth curing into a slight grin.

She smiled and kissed his shoulder, letting him go and walking back to the bedroom.

He smiled to himself, watching the way that her hips and body moved as she walked. He absentmindedly left his hand on the skillet to long, burning his hand. He hissed in pain shaking it as he pulled it away, "Way to go." He said under his breath, smiling none the less.

He finished the eggs and placed them and slices of bread on to two plates that he then put onto a large tray. He took the small kettle off of the stove and put it on the tray as well. He loaded the tray up with spoons and cups for them. The last thing he did was run outside quickly, grabbing a fire lily and laying it on the tray. He looked at his meager presentation feeling very unsure about it.

He bit his lip and picked it up, carrying it into the bedroom none the less. She smiled at him when he entered the room. She was sitting on the bed with her back to the headboard, her knees bent and her hands resting on them. "I bring you breakfast, m'lady." He told her in a soft voice.

She just laughed a little bit, "Why thank you." She told him, clearing some of the blankets so that he would have a place to set the tray.

He sat it down, smiling at her as he sat on the bed on his knees. "We have eggs, toast, tea, and..." He took the flower in his hands, presenting it to her. "For you." he said in a uncharastically cherry voice.

She just laughed and took the flower, smelling it as she held it in her fingers. "Thank you, your majesty." She told him with a grin. She put it behind her ear delicately.

He poured them both some tea, offering her one of the cups. She took it with a nod, smiling at him. He turned his attention to the bread, placing his hands on either side of it. He used his fire bending to heat each side of the bread, toasting it. She smiled, watching him do this as she held her cup. "For you." He offered it to her with a smile.

"You are so clever." She told him, taking a bite of the warm toast.

"I do what I can." He said, toasting the other piece of bread then sipping some of his tea. he sat on the bed, crossing his legs in front of him. "Do you like my shirt?" he asked her, giving her a plate of eggs and a spoon.

She took it, nodding as she started to eat "I like that it's yours."

"I think that it looks better on you than on me." She laughed, blushing a little bit as she ate. He looked at her silently with wide eyes, forgetting about his plate and letting the eggs slip off the place.

"Focus." She told him, reaching out and putting his place back in an even position.

He blinked back into reality, looking at his plate. "Oh... sorry..."

She just laughed, "Am I distracting you?"

He nodded at her, "That, and I was just thinking."

"About?"

"You... us..." His face flushed over, "Last night."

She blushed, "I'm sorry about all the marks." She told him, motioning to his scratches.

He laughed a little bit, "I like them. Kinda sexy, don't you think?"

She nodded, "Very much so."

"I just will have to be careful who I take my shirt off around from here on out." he took a sip of his tea, "As will you."

"What?" She asked, looking at him with confusion.

He stood up in bed, setting his plate and cup down on the tray and then the tray on the floor before he crawled over to her, sitting next to her on the bed. He wrapped his one arm around the back of her waist, taking the other and brushing her hair out of the way to get to her neck. She shivered lightly as feeling his finger tips dance across her skin. She dropped her plate onto the side table to savor the feel of his warm skin on her's. She dug her fingers into his hair as he ran his teeth along her jugular before pressing his lips to her skin and sucking a little bit.

She laughed a little bit, know what it was that he was now doing. With his free hand he ran it down in-between her legs, pushing the fabric from his shirt on her to access her intimate area. She gasped a little bit, smiling widely as he slid a finger into her softlness. Her heart started fluttering wildly as her make contact with her swollen clit. He started to rub her with the tip of his finger, letting it slide against her as he sucked on her neck, moans creeping from his throat.

She spread her legs for him and slid down a little bit, letting him slide his hand down further on her. He dipped a finger inside her, a smile on his lips. She shivered happily, laughing a little bit as she bit her lip. He pulled away from her neck, looking over her flushed face. He smiled to himself, looking her over.

She looked him over contently, studying his features. "I love you." She told him with a soft voice.

He smiled at her as he slipped another finger into her, moving them in and out of her. He started to kiss her jar line lovingly as his thumb made contact with her clitoris, stroking it as his two fingers moved in and out of her. She screamed out ever so lightly as she felt the ripples of pleasure wash over her.

Her apparent pleasure made him more excited. He began moving his fingers deep into her, more aggressively now. She felt him sliding against the rough spot in her velvet insides. She yelped out in pleasure at feeling his fingers tops on a new spot that she did not even know was there. He laughed a little bit at her reaction. "That good?" He purred into her ear, biting her ear lobe softly.

She moaned deeply as she dug her fingers into her own hair, pulling on it a little bit as her hips started to move against his hand. He laughed as he watched her squirming with pleasure. Her flushed over face turned to him, one hand reaching over and pulling on his hair roughly. He felt her soft interior close around his fingers inside of her as the grip on his hair became firmer. She climaxed silently, the only sound coming from her being a sharp intake of air that filled her lungs.

There was no sound in the room other than that of Zuko sucking on Suki's skin lightly and her breath returning to normal. Her breaths turned to whimpers as his teeth grazed her skin lightly. She tried to say something, anything as she was quivering in his arms. Her body was on fire with passion, with longing for him. She reached forward and pushed him down onto the bed. He pulled his own shirt off her, throwing it aside.

She straddled him, placing her knees on either side of his hips as their lips tangled together, her hands on his chest, digging her nails into his skin lightly. His hands went to her hair, digging his fingers into her auburn locks. She moved her hips on his groin area, feeling his hardness though his pants and becoming more excited.

"Are you ok to do this?" He asked her, looking up at her after breaking the kiss to gasp for air. "I mean last night you bleed a lot."

"Shut up." She said, rolling her eyes as she reached down and pulled down his pants, freeing his erection. He looked up at her with his chest rising and falling as he panted, getting more excited. She just smiled a little bit, positioning herself over him with his throbbing member in her hand. She placed him inside of her and looked down into his eyes as she pressed herself down on him. His chest rose up in a gasp as he felt her around him.

She turned her head to the side, him ripping into her and tearing at the wounds that had just healed. She shivered as the pain jolted though her. His hands went to her hips, squeezing her soft bottom, making her moan in her throat. Her hands went to his wrists, digging her nails into his pale skin as she started to move up and down on him. She tried not to show that she was in pain.

She guessed that he was unaware by the way that his back was arching up and moans creeping from his mouth. She started to move on him quicker, her thighs doing the work for her, slapping her hips down onto him. Zuko fingers dug into Suki's hips as he looked at her, her chest bouncing along with her. His hands went up her body, grabbing her waist and pulling her down to him, pressing their lips together on a passionate kiss. She gasped in surprise. With her guard down he was able to take control.

He rolled her onto her back, pinning her down softly. He laughed happily as she wrapped her legs around his hips, locking him in place with her ankles. His hands went to her waist, holding her on the bed as he started to thrust in and out of her with a fair amount of force. His teeth grit as he did so, all of his focus on moving his hips so that he went into her straight. He took his hand and placed his fingers tip on her swollen clitoris as he moved in and out more frantically.

She screamed out his name lightly, her hand going on top of his as he rubbed her. He watched her do this though half closed eyes, his finger tips dancing over her delicate skin. She arched her back and moaned deeply as she clenched herself around him, a climax engulfing her body. He watched her with a large smile on his face as she pulsed with pleasure under him. Her eyes opened a little bit and looked at him, a smile across her face. She relaxed her body that was still trembling a little bit, panting a little bit as he hovered over her.

After a moment to recover She lifted herself up and wrapped her arms around her neck, pulling her close to him. He wrapped his arms around her back to support her up, their lips locking in a fiery kiss. She felt him sigh and his body give way as he started to move in and out of her again. She put her hands below her, bracing herself up so he did not have to do all the work, her hips still on the bed. She watched his face twitch softly, looking at her lips as he started going harder, more erratically in and out of her. She felt his body shutter as he moaned her name, releasing himself inside of her. Her arms went back to his back as he laid on top of her, unable to hold them both up anymore. They kissed as his body covered hers, their limbs weakly around one another.

After a few moments he pulled off her and rolled next to her on the bed, his hands went to his eyes, rubbing them roughly. She just whimpered happily next to him, still feeling the stretched out feeling on her intimate area. She looked over at him, his chest rising and falling as he tried to breathe normal again. She rolled over so that she was on her side, facing him. Her lips went to his shoulders, lingering on his skin. Her hand reached out and went to his lower stomach, feeling along the clef of his hips. The contact with his skin made him moan happily, wetting his lips with his tongue. She set up next to him, looking down at him with lustful eyes. His hand went to her sides, his finger tips tracing up and down her beautiful body.

"I love it when you do that." She told him with a moan.

His fingers dug into her hips, those large beautiful hips. "I love everything about you."

"Everything?"

He nodded, looking up at her lovingly as she reached down and took is flaccid member inter her hands. "Especially how you look right now."

She smiled at him a little bit as she started to stroke him, her finger tips running his length. He closed his eyes and gasped softly, a smile on his lips.

"Again?" He laughed a little bit, still panting.

She nodded with a smile, "Again and always."

"You gotta give me a second." He leaned in and kissed her.

"Aw come on Mr. Fire Lord." She sat up, sitting on his hips. She interlocked their fingers, pressing her hands onto his. "Can't keep up?"

He smiled up at her, "Its easy for you."

"Not at all." She laughed softly, "I'm the one who is being pushed and pulled."

"You know we don't always have to have it be like that."

"What do you mean?"

"We could switch it up. You could be the one to control things."

He raised an eye brow, looking down at him. "You would be ok with that?"

He nodded, "I think it would be fun. You could tie me down or something."

"You just want me to do that, don't you?"

"Perhaps." He smiled up at her.

She took her hands and moved them, grabbing his wrists and holding them together roughly. He blushed over a little bit as she tightened her hands around his wrist. "So you like it rough."

He bit his lip, looking at her. "I like you."

She laughed and leaned down, acting like she was going to kiss him, but stopping right before she made contact with his lips.

She felt him groan in frustration, his head leaning up trying to make contact with her lips.

She let go of his hands, sitting up on the bed. "You would like that."

He reached out and grabbed her around her waist, pulling her to him somewhat aggressively. His roughness took him by surprise, but turned her on at the same time. She felt him growl under his breath as he tossed her to the bed, pinning her down on it. He leaned down and bit her cheek, her knees going on either side of his waist. His teeth trailed down her jar and to her neck, biting down hard on her skin there.

She yelped in pain a little bit, reaching back and pulling his hair roughly. "Fuck, Zuko." She groaned.

"Sorry." He panted, looking at her. "I just got a little..."

"Keep going." She told him as she sat up a little bit.

"What?" He looked at her confused.

"Hurt me." Her voice was low and gravely, her eyes fierce looking.

"You... mean that?"

In response she pulled his hair again, harder this time.

"Oh..."

She took his hand into hers, leading them to her breasts. She moved her own fingers so that his pinched her nipples hard, making her bit her lip with a moan.

He looked with her with wide eyes as she leaned her head back, smiling. He let her go back down to the bed, covering her body with his own as he started to kiss her, his fingers clenching down on her soft skin. He felt very timid all the sudden, afraid and worried about doing the wrong thing.

"Come on... Do it." She mumbled as she started to kiss him.

He shook with anticipation, with pleasure. He let out a low groan from deep on his throat, his mind running wild with thoughts about what he wanted to do to her. He reached down and grabbed her waist with the same force that he had before, digging his nails into her skin. She moaned with pleasure, knowing that he was going to do with her exactly as she wanted.

He leaned in a bit the skin on her neck, closing his lips around his teeth and sucking on her tender skin. She laughed a little bit, "More." She groaned happily, feeling his erection on her inner thigh.

He pulled off her, a devilish smile on his face. "Roll over."

She nodded and did as she was told, rolling onto her stomach and looking back at him. His lips went to her neck again, biting and sucking on her. She arched her hips into him, his hard cock on her flush bottom, silently telling him that she needed him to fill her. He sat up on his knees, pulling her by her lips to him. Her hands went to her own hair pulling it as she smiled wide.

He trusted himself into her without any warning or preparation. She gasped as she felt him inside of her. She cried out a little bit as he started to move in and out, his cock cutting a path though her tender insides. He groaned a little bit as he leaned down, his hands doing on either side of her chest on the bed. He placed his lips on the back of her neck, sucking on her there as he felt her moan.

He wrapped his arms around her chest, pulling her up as he leaned up himself. She went to her hands and knees, hovering over the bed. His hands went around her waist, holding her in place as he moved in and out of her frantically.

She smiled to herself, licking her lips as she felt his blistering cock penetrating them retracting from her. His hands traveled down to her hips, his finger nails digging into her skin. In a strange and somewhat perverted way she felt owned by him, she felt that she was his, and she loved it.

He let go of her, pushing her down to the bed and pulling out of her. Suki feel to the bed, looking up at him with a smile on her face as she rolled onto her side. He laughed a little bit, leaning down and grabbing her around the waist, pulling her closer to him. She lifted her top leg up and around his waist, letting him straddle her bottom one.

His hands went to her thigh, scratching here there as he went back inside of her. Her shoulders were flush with the bed, so she could watch him as he moved on her. When she made eye contact he blushed deeply, but smiled a little bit. Her one hand went to his chest, running her fingers over the expanse of it. Her other hand went in between her legs, rubbing herself there. His other hand went to her arm that was on his chest, holding her in place there.

He looked down at her, seeing her beautiful strong body tangled with his own, laying out before him. Just seeing her like that was enough to fully take him other the edge. She was looking up at him, his cheeks flushed over as she watched his strong body make love to her. She could not get over how beautiful he was and that he belonged to her.

They came at the same time, moaning deep in their throats as they did so. He pressed into her, filling her with his seed. She shook though her orgasm, her body tensing up around him. It was with this added sensation that he doubled over in pleasure, breathing her name. She just smiled at him, a blush on her cheeks.

He pulled out of her and rolled down to the bed, brining her with him. They laid in bed, their limbs tangled together, sweat covered skin on sweat covered skin. Neither of them said anything for a while, then just held one another firmly. Suki found herself unable to think, unable to focus on anything but him and the heat and passion radiating from him. She found her mind drifting to him and his long body, a body that was now her own personal playground. Zuko's eyes were closed as his hands grazed her shoulders blades.

It had started to rain. A crack of thunder filled the room as rain hit the windows with a fair amount of urgency. She jumped a little bit, it taking her by surprise. He smiled softly, running his hands over her back. "You are scared of a little thunder?"

"No." She pinched his bicep that her hand was draping over.

"Could have fooled me." His eyes went to her's as her flushed over face.

"I was just taken off guard with it." She leaned up and looked down at him with loving eyes. "What do you wanna do today?" Their love making had ate up the morning and they were both hungry from the small breakfast that they ate. She could feel the groaning in his stomach on her own skin.

"Today I make dumplings." He smiled to himself, his head leaning back on the bed with his eyes closed.

She squealed with excitement, digging her nails into his chest. "Dumplings from my LOVE!?"

He laughed softly and nodded, "Dumplings for my Dumpling." He leaned his head down and kissed the top of her head lovingly.

"You know I hate nicknames." She hissed, wrapping her arms around him tighter with a smile on her face.

"So do I; but I still think we should have pet names for one another." He looked at her with a soft smile.

"So mine is Dumpling?" She raised an eye brow as he nodded. She sat up on the bed, sitting next to him as her hands ran over his body, her fingers tips rolling over his defined muscles. "I have a few for you too, you know?"

"What are they?" He was looking up at her, watching her naked body next to him.

"I call you Zee."

"I've heard you say that before." He put his hands behind his head, watching her.

"I call you 'My Fire Lord'." She leaned down and kissed his strong shoulder. "Never aloud, just in my head."

"I like that." His lips curled up a little bit.

"I also will call you a Jerkbender when I get annoyed with you."

His eye browed gathered, the smile dropping from his face. "You got that from Sokka, didn't you?"

She laughed a little bit, kissing his sweat covered skin. "Sure did."

He groaned and rolled his eyes, "Don't talk about him when we're naked."

She nodded and brushed some of his tangled hair out of his face. "Deal." She sat up again, fluffing her hair with her hands happily. He watched her mounds of flesh giggle as she moved. "Promise me that you will never stop thinking I'm pretty."

He sat up on his elbows, looking her over. "What are you talking about?"

She sighed lightly, "I look different than I did a year ago, did you notice?"

He looked in her eyes and nodded, "I did notice, but I like it." A smile spread across his face.

She looked at him with a disbelieving frown, "Really?"

He just nodded, reaching out and grabbing her bottom with his hands, squeezing it roughly. "I fucking love it." He said with a soft growl as he leaned in and bit her stomach playfully. She laughed happily, putting her hands on top of his. "I'm not kidding. I think its so hot. I've always liked your ass."

"Really?" She asked, running her hands over his upper arms.

"Yeah. Ever since I saw you at Boiling Rock. It was the first thing I noticed about you."

"So when I get old and fat you will still love me?"

He nodded, leaning up all the way and kissing her collar bone. "I will love you no matter what."

She laughed a little bit, her hands going to his hair. "And I you."

He felt her stomach growl under his skin, pulling away from her. "Come on, I will get started on Lunch."

She leaned down and kissed him softly and gently before standing up and getting the floor. Her legs shook little bit, still weak from her multiple orgasms. He stood up and reached out for her, steading her with his hands.

"Are you ok?"

She nodded, her hands going to his elbows. "I'm fine." A smile spread across her face. "I'm always fine with you." She said under her breath.

He smiled and leaned in, kissing her forehead. She pulled away from him and grabbed some clothing off the ground, handing them to him. "These" She said in a commanding voice before she left the room and went to her own room.

He stood with the clothes in his hands, smiling to himself.

Suki went to her room and put on one of her new red silk robes. She did not bother putting any under garments on, she figured that they would just be cast aside at some point in time. The thought of it made her skin craw with pleasure. She combed her hair slowly, sorting out the tangles in her auburn locks. She thought about putting some make up on, but decided against it. She looked in the small mirror; her hands traveling over her jaw line. When she really thought about it it brought her a great sense of joy; that she was wanted by the most powerful man in the world. It was like like he had said last night though, it was in fact him that belonged to her. This brought an even wider smile to her face.

She walked from the bedroom and into the kitchen ware Zuko was getting ready to fix their food. She laughed at seeing the mix matched clothing that she had told him to ware.

"I like that robe." He told her with a smile, motioning to the robe.

"Thank you." She looked around.

"The wash room is down the stairs over there. You don't have to do them if you don't want to."

She shook her head, opening the door that had the book case behind it. "I want to." She told him. "Besides I don't want the servants at the palace to see it."

He just smiled at her, watching as she went to the bedroom and gathered the sheets. "I think there should be a few things down there; soap and what not."

She just nodded as she carried to down the stairs to the small wash room. They both went to their assigned tasks, their minds on their work. Zuko's long rough fingers formed the delicate dumplings like his teacher had told him. Suki's nose curled as she poured the sour chemicals on the sheet to remove the blood; one thing that she could do was remove blood from clothing.

Once she was done with the washing she hung the green sheet over a wire than ran the length of the room. She walked back up into the kitchen, the smell of the dumplings filling the house. A smile spread across her face as she saw him placing the lid on the small bamboo steamer.

"Are they ok?" She asked him, worried about the deliciousness of the treat he was making.

He nodded, smiling at her. "They are fine." he had pulled his hair back again, it in a messy pony tail at the back of his head. "They will be ready in a bit."

She walked next to him, looking at the steamer with large eyes. "I swear, if you pull this off I will let you do anything that you want to me."

He chuckled a little bit, "I thought I could do that anyway."

She shook her head lightly, "I mean anything." She said with a smirk.

"Anything?"

"Anything."

He twisted his mouth in a smile, "I've never really thought about anything."

"Well you have to have some fantasies." She said with a shrug, looking at him and rubbing his upper arm.

Her shook his head, "Not really."

She narrowed her eyes at him, "Your kidding, right?"

"When have I ever kidded?" He rolled his eyes softly.

"So you really never though of doing anything kinky, ever?"

He shook his head. "I don't think about sex all that much, believe it or not."

"I still don't believe you on that." She told him with a frown as she got herself some water.

"Well I think about sex with you, but I don't linger on it or anything."

"Whats the difference?"

"Well..." He thought about it for a moment. "I just thought about being with you. Nothing extra really, just being with you. Making love to you and then us falling asleep in one another's arms." They were looking at one another, a soft smile between them. "Why did you think of?"

"Well I thought that having a threesome would be fun."

His eyes widened, looking at her. "What?"

"Well yeah." She chuckled, her had going to the back of her neck. "The thought of you kissing another guy was always kinda hot to me."

He continued to look at her, slips of his hair falling him his pony tail and framing his face.

She rolled her eyes softly, "Don't act like its all that odd. I mean guys think about girls kissing, why can't girls think about guys kiss?"

"I've never though about girls kissing." He stammered, looking confused.

"Really?" She looked at him in disbelief.

He nodded, "I told you I don't think about sex."

She blinked slowly, looking him over. "I don't believe you."

He just shrugged a little bit, "You can not believe me if you want. Its the truth. I've never really thought about it. I mean I did it, and even when I did it before I did not really think about it. It was what it was."

"And now? Now do you think about it?"

He blushed deeply, "Well yeah. When you put it in the context of you, I do. I think about what I wanna do to you."

She smiled and reached for him, wrapping her arms around his waist. "I think about it too. Its all I've thought about for the past year actually. I made a plan on all the ways that I would touch you, all the things that I would do to you."

"How is it going so far?" He asked, his hands wrapping under her arms and being placed on her shoulders.

"Very well, but I have much more planned for you." She playfully told him. She leaned in and bit his lip playfully, pulling on it a little bit. He closed his eyes and moaned softly, feeling her teeth on his lips. She let go of his lip, pulling away a little bit. "But that is for later."

He grinned happily, looking her over. She pulled away from him and walked to the cabnit next to him. She got out plates and cups for them. "So have you ever done it?" He asked her, looking at the dumplings.

"Done what?"

"Kissed another girl."

"I thought you did not think of those things." She said with a smile.

He moaned awkwardly, "I was just wondering."

"Yes I have." She told him as she placed the plates at their spots on the counter. "Katara actually."

Zuko's face drew into an awkward frown, looking at her. "When did that happen?"

"It was an accident. We went to hug and her lips meet."

He looked at her with an expressionless face. "I see."

"Have you kissed a boy?" She asked, putting a kettle of water on the stove for tea.

"What?"

"Have you kissed a boy before?" She asked again, slower this time. He did not say anything, but just looked at her with a soft frown. "OH MY YOU HAVE!" She called out happily, clapping her hands a little bit.

"I did not say that." His face went to the boiling water in the kettle.

"You didn't have to." She laughed happily, her hands going to his strong shoulders. "Who was it?" She said as she kissed his back.

"Its not important." His voice was low and long, like he spoke when he was serious. He could be serious after all, even when it was just with her.

She took the hint that he did not want to speak of it and just nodded, patting his back as she pulled away. "Alright."

He rolled his eyes, slightly annoyed at himself for not being open with her. He hated keeping her closed off about anything. Its what had gotten him in trouble before, with both her and others. "I did... It was something dumb though." He said in a voice that was louder than he expected. He said nothing else as he put the steamer with the dumplings on the counter with their plates.

She looked at him with a fair amount of confusion, but said nothing as he fixed the tea. She looked at the steamer that held the dumplings with a smile on her face, licking her lips. She sat at her place at the counter, watching him as he sat next to her, tea in his hands. He sat one down for her and smiled at her softly.

"Can we eat them now?" She asked with a smile.

He laughed and nodded. "We can." He pulled the top off of the small steamer, the air filling with steam. She eagerly looked down onto the dumplings, a smile going over her face. They looked exactly like the ones that she was used to having fixed for her at the palace.

She took her cop sticks and took one out softly, duncking it in the sauce that he had made. He did the same and smiled at her as they both ate it at the same time. Neither of them said anything for a moment while they chewed. Suki broke the silence, "I never thought that you could be sexier to me."

He laughed happily, "So they are good."

She leaned over to him and kissed his shoulder, "The best I've ever had." She pulled away and went for another. "I mean that."

They ate together, the rain pouring outside in a slow steady rhythm. They laughed and talked with one another till all the dumplings were gone and their stomachs were full. She laid her head on his shoulder sleepily as he took a sip of his tea. "Lets go for a swim." She suggested.

"But its raining."

"So?" She told him with a smile as she stood, undoing her robe and letting it slip off her thin frame and onto the floor.

He looked at her naked body like he was seeing it for the first time. "Well thats not even fair." He said looking her over.

She just laughed. "I'm going swimming." She walked out the back door

"But its raining!" He told her again, watching her leave and walk out into the rain.

She laughed a little bit, feeling odd at being exposed like this outside, the rain hitting her body. She looked back at the house, really wondering if he was going to follow or now. She made up her mind that she would be having a swim, with or without him. She picked up her pace and ran to the sore line. She went into the water till it was to her knees, then dived head first into the sea water, letting it envelop her.

Zuko watched her surprised; he did not think that she would really do it. He sighed a little bit, knowing that he had to do it now. He took off his clothing and let his hair down. He walked outside, going to the beach just like she had. He started to run a little bit before he got to the shore. She looked up to see her naked boyfriend running toward her, making her laugh.

He jumped high into the hair, rain hitting his long strong body. He slammed into the water a few feet away from her, making a huge splash. He came out of the water with his black hair sticking to his face neck and back. She swam to him and pulled his back hair out of his eyes, smiling wildly.

"Well this was a good idea." He said with a sign.

She nodded, leaning in and kissing him softly. "It was a great idea. The best really."

He smiled into the kiss as he treaded water, "This is the kinda thing that you get me into." He said as he pulled away.

She nodded and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him down into the water with him. They swam under water together, their naked limbs kicking madly as the water as their lips were entangled into a passionate kiss. She always had a way of making perfect moments for the two of them to share. It was something that he both loved and respected about her.

She pulled away from him after a long kiss, swimming up to the surface, apparently needing air. He followed, feeling the water moving on him as she kicked her legs up. She broke the surface gasping for air. He followed doing the same. Suki smiled happily at him, her arms going to his neck again. It was raining harder now, the sharp warm drops hitting their faces as they laughed into one another's lips. "We should go in." She told him, looking into his amber eyes.

He just shook his head, enjoying this time with her much more than he thought he would. His arms were out around him, helping him tread water for the both of them. Her legs were wrapped around his waist, making him laugh softly and dunk them into the water again. They went down deeper this time, his feet touching the bottom of the sandy ocean. Their lips locked together once again, his tongue slipping into her mouth as he pressed it against hers. Both of their hair was flowing around their hands, tangling with one another's. She tried to fight him for dominance in this kiss but it was impossible when he was like this, when he was so intent on doing exactly want he wanted with her. She broke away after a few moments, her lungs yearning for air. She let go of him and swam upward. He followed close behind, noting how her naked body looked with the waster swirling around it.

She broke the water and breathed sharply before being pulled by her foot back under the water by Zuko. His hands traveled up her legs and to her soft bottom grabbing it under water as they both came up to the surface. Zuko laughed at seeing her flustered and her face flushed over. "Why did you do that?" She asked with a frown, getting her breath back to normal.

He just wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her softly. The rain was pouring now with strips of light purple cracking across the sky. He knew that it was time now. He let go of her and started to swim to the shore, her following him. The rain was raining down so hard that they could not hear one another talk as they ran back up to the house. She giggled loudly as they finally reached the large doors that opened into the living room. He closed them quickly not wanting any rain to get inside. She walked to the bathroom and grabbed two fresh towels from the stack of them, bringing it back into the living room. She gave one to him, then wrapped the other one around her waist after drying her hair.

"That was a good idea." He told her with a smile as he dried himself off.

"Yeah great." She told him with a smile as she watched him.

"What?" his towel went to his head, drying his long black hair.

She shook her head and leaned in, kissing him happily. "Nothing." He watched her walk away from him and downstairs to the washroom. When she came back up with the now dry sheet he was fully dried and had his odd looking pants on again. "Lets take a nap." She told him in her soft voice.

"Why do you wanna do that?" He asked, putting her red robe on the back of the sofa.

"I just think it would be sweet." She said with a smile. "And I'm kinda sleepy from all this physical exertion." She told him this with a smile as she walked past him and towards her own bedroom. He followed her. He watched her from door way she she dropped her towel and picked up a black silky robe from her trunk. She slipped it on her, his eyes widening as she did so. She turned to him with a smile. "I got it yesterday, what do you think?"

He looked her over, noting how the soft fabric hugged her curves and was just thin enough so that he could see the lovely color of her skin though it. He said nothing as he looked at her, but she knew exactly what he was thinking as he looked her over. She smiled and went to put the sheet on the bed.

"Do you have any other surprises for me?" He asked as he went to her, helping her with her task.

She shook her head, "I don't think so." She watched him as he helped her with the sheet, then putting the pillows and blankets back onto the bed.

Zuko laid down in the bed as soon as it way made, the soft bed supporting his strong back. Suki climbed into bed with him, wrapping her arms around him as she cuddled close to him happily. He rolled onto his side and held her with a soft smile. She interlocked their arms and legs, holding one another close.

"I was wondering about something." She asked though closed eyes.

"Yes?"

"Am I still to work as your body guard?" She asked.

"Of corse. I would not trust any one else."

"Can I be your lover, girlfriend and body guard all at the same time?"

"I don't see why not." He kissed the side of her head. She just nodded. "Are you nervous about something?"

"I just worry that they will not respect you cause of me."

He frowned a little bit, "Why would they do that?"

"The peasant girl who will marry the Fire Lord."

He sighed lightly, "This again?"

"Yes, this again."

"I told you that I don't give a shit."

"I know that you don't but I'm worried about other people. I don't want to give them a reason not to have faith in you as a ruler." Her eyes were open, looking at him with a frown.

"I would think that they would rather have a ruler that married the woman that he loved than one who married for some kind of political reasons." He opened his eyes, looking at her, "And if you wanna know the truth our union will be an amazing one politically. My Advisors think its a great idea."

"They do?"

He nodded, "They do. They told me that me being with you was a good thing."

She looked over his face, not really sure how to take what he was telling her. "Is that why you are with me?"

"Not at all!" he said with a frown. "I'm with you because I love you."

She nodded, pulling away from him and rolling away, her arms crossed over her chest. "Yeah..." She sighed lightly, as she looked at the wall.

"Come on." He wrapped his arm around her silk clad waist, putting his one hand on her stomach, his other arm under the pillow that his head was resting on. "I do love you and I don't care about anything like that." He buried his face into her hair, pulling her close to him.

"What do you care about then, Zuko?"

"I care about you. I care about our life and our future together." His voice was low and serious; like it was when he was working, when he was all business.

She sighed lightly, her hands going over his softly. "I do too."

"And I don't know how I can convince you that you are not a nobody. I mean you always tell me that I have to not be down on myself, but you are just as bad as me sometimes." She said nothing, just letting him talk. "You feel so insecure in your position with me. Its like you love me but your so scared that I will not accept and love you back. Even after all this time you still think of yourself as just my concubine or something."

"Well am I?"

He sighed angrily, "How can you even ask me that, Suki." His face went into her hair, letting the still damp follicles cover his features. "You are the love of my life, my partner, someone who I respect and turn to for help with any and everything that I need. I trust you more than just about anyone else in my life." He clenched his eyes tight, "It hurts me that you think that I'm just using you, that I'm faking what we have to gain something." He shook his head, "I fucking love you Suki and you're going to be my wife one day. You and I both know that. But if you don't start trusting me its not going to work, and I know for a fact that neither of us want that."

She held his hands tighter, sad that she had hurt him. She did not mean to do this of corse. It also made her heart ache that he would actually talk about the end of them, the end of the relationship that meant so much to her. She did not want that at all. It scared her to death. "Don't talk about that..." She said in a soft voice. He said nothing as he kissed the back of her neck. "Please don't ever talk about leaving me." He nails were digging into the skin on his hands, her body shaking.

"Suki..." He sighed into her skin and hair.

"No listen." She sat up and looked down at him, his damn hair laid out behind his head. "You know how much I love you. You know how much what we have means to me."

"Then why don't you trust me?" He asked, looking up at her.

"I'm scared Zuko."

"Of what?" His eyes bore into hers, looking her over in her black silk robe.

"That one day you will wake up and realize that you could do better. That you could marry Mai, or someone else that is noble, someone else that is more like you."

He rolled over onto his back, propping himself up on his elbows "You didn't hear?"

"Hear what?"

"Mai got married and has twin boys."

"Really?" She asked, looking at him.

He nodded, looking her over. "Yeah, while you were away."

She reached out and stroked his arm softly, trying to comfort him. He knew that when it came to Mai he was still somewhat sensitive about it. She knew that he still loved her in a way, not like he did her but it was still there. "I'm sorry, Zee."

"Its alright." He smiled at her softly. "Its not anything that you did is no reason to be sorry." She reached down and held his hand comfortingly, her fingers running over his knuckles. "You're wrong about that though, about me wanting someone else. You are all that I will ever want. No you are not a noble, but you are still one of the honorable people that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and it will be my greatest joy to take you as my wife and see that you become the Fire Lady."

She smiled to herself, looking at him and his fair features, the dark scar framing them perfectly. She reached out and took his cheek into her hand, running her thumb over the scar.

"I don't know how many ways I can show you that I adore you, that I choose you over anyone else."

Her hands went to his chest, sliding herself against him as she laid down on the bed with him. "I know that you do, Zuko. I know that you love me."

He patted the top of her head lovingly, looking into her eyes. "And I know that you love me. You just have to trust me when I say that I want you and only you. And I don't think that I can do better, because you are the best."

She cooed happily, pressing herself onto him. He smiled and ran his fingers though her hair. "You mean that?"

"Of corse." He laid back down on the bed, letting her go down with him. She kissed his strong chest happily, his warm skin under his own. "So please just trust me, alright?" He asked looking down on her.

She looked up at him and nodded, "I will trust you more."

He smiled and brushed some hair out of her face, looking at her lovingly. "Thank you." Her head went to his chest, listening to his heart beat as he ran his hands over her silk clad back. After a while they both fell asleep in each other's arms.

They napped for a while, taking them into the early evening hours. Suki woke up first, feeling Zuko's warm arms around her hips, his lips pressed to her forehead. She could not help but smile at feeling him so close to her. She pulled away slowly, looking at him with a sigh. His cheeks were flushed over a little bit, his lips twitching as he slept.

She leaned in and kissed his chest lovingly, the feeling of his warm skin on her lips sending tingling feelings through her body. She placed small kisses down him, her nostrils flaring as she took in his scent. She got to his lower stomach and bit it softly, burring her face into the soft hair that trailed down him there. He had woken up silently, looking down at her as his face flushed over.

She looked up at him, smiling when she saw that he was awake. She said nothing as he rolled onto his back. She put her fingers into the waistline of his pants pulling them down as his hips rolled. She continued to kiss down him, a moan creeping from her lips as she reached down and took him into her hands. He raised his knees up a little bit, them locking on either side of her chest.

She pulled on him softly as her lips reached him. She ran a series of kisses up and down his shaft tenderly. He shivered lightly as he closed his eyes. He felt the pressure on him as she placed him in her mouth, a moan from her mouth making his tender skin craw with pleasure. She started to move on and off him, her thumb and forefinger wrapped around the base of his cock. With her free hand she reached down and took his testicles into her hand, holding him softly.

He gasped softly, one of his hands going to the back of her head. His eyes fluttered as she sucked on him, her fingers and palm of her hand working at gently massaging his sack. His stomach contracted as his body heated up with pleasure, the blood rushing to every part of his body with more urgency. She continued on him, moaning as she did so. He opened his eyes and looked down at her. He moved some hair out of the way, looking at her mouth on him.

Seeing her lips wrapped around him finally set him over the edge. He came in her, his knees tightening on on chest. She moaned heavily, clamping her lips on him. The bitter taste of him filled her mouth and made her body excited. He panted lightly, a smile across his face as she pulled off him slowly. He could see a little spot of white on her lips as she placed a single soft kiss on his tip.

"I don't know what they taught you on that island, but I like it." He said to her with a smile.

She giggled lightly, rubbing his tip on her lips softly. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and pulled her up to him. He placed his lips on her's in a kiss. As he slipped his tongue into her mouth he tasted the taste of his cum and her saliva; filling his body with pleasure. Their lips moved on one another's their tongues wrestling one another, Zuko wrapping his arms tightly around her waist. She finally pulled away gasping for air, his teeth clenching onto her bottom lip. She rolled onto her side, both of them facing one another as he ran his hands down to her bare bottom as he held it tight. "I wanna go again." She whispered to him, looking at his lips.

He just nodded and pulled her robe up, moving one of her legs up over his hips. She reached down and pulled him out softly, trying to get him hard again. He pressed his motionless lips to hers as blood rushed to him in her hand. She arched closer to him and fumbled with his cock before pressing it into her.

Their lips hovered over one another's, their hot breath falling onto one another, both of them moving their bodies together. He pressed inside of her and she shivered a little bit, feeling the familiar pain that came along with his penetration. His name was on her lips as he started to move in and out of her, keeping her hips steady. He smiled into her lips, looking into her beautiful eyes.

He shivered with pleasure as she dig the heel of her foot into his lower back, pulling him closer. His lips went to her neck, kissing her skin with a happy moan as he held her still, thrusting in and out of her. She dug her nails into his scalp, her lips going to his neck.

He rolled on top of her, his body still covering hers as he pressed her to the bed. He moved in and out of her with a soft steady rhythm. They had never had sex as gently, as softly as they were right now. She smiled to herself as he leaned up on his elbows that were on either side of her head, looking down on her.

She looked at him with her face a deep red, her eyes meeting his. He smiled a little bit at her, the flush in his cheeks matching her own. "I love you." She whispered as he moved in and out of her softly.

He closed his eyes and rubbed his nose to hers, making her giggle. Her hands went to his scalp, her nails digging into his beautiful ebony hair.

They locked eyes as they made love, her soft moans urging him on. She removed a hand from his skin, trailing it down her body and in between her legs. She started to rub herself, her hand trapped between the two of them. He felt her hand's presence and reached down there himself, shoving her hand out of the way to resume the task himself.

It did not take long before she felt the rush of pleasure saturate her, her body melting under his in a climax. He came half a heartbeat later, a moan flowing from his lips. Her hands went to either side of his face, holding it in place as she gazed into his eyes. He leaned down and kissed her happily, his eyes closing.

Neither of them said anything for a while, but just held onto one another in that position. They wen't thinking about the future, or the past, or anything really. They were just glad to be in one another's arms.

"I was thinking that we could go out tonight." Zuko said, finally breaking the silence.

"You wanna go out?" She asked with a laugh.

"Well not dancing, but I thought we could go out to eat someplace nice in town." He opened his eyes as he rolled off of her. She whimpered a little bit, feeling the pain return. "You ok?"

She nodded and laid next to him on the bed, "I would like that. I mean you have cooked so much it would be nice for you not to have to do that."

"Exactly. I mean I don't mind cooking but it would be nice to have someone else do it."

"Will you be ok going into town again?" She reached out and stroked his cheek lovingly, looking at the lines in his skin that were made by his scar.

He nodded with a smile as he looked into her eyes, "As long as I'm with you I will be ok. Also its kinda cold so I can use my hooded cloak."

"That would be a resolution as well." She rubbed his chest lightly. "We have to get cleaned up first."

"I think that would be a good thing." He chuckled a little bit. "We've only had sex about 8 times since this morning."

She laughed and held his hand tight. "We can't do that for a little while either." She bit her lip a little bit. "I'm kinda sore."

"Why didn't you say anything?" He asked as he sat up on his elbows.

"Cause I was having too much fun." She leaned down and kissed him quickly before getting out of bed and going to the bathroom. "Are you gonna come?" She asked with a smile. He smiled to himself as he watched her go, her hips moving beautifully in her black lacy robe.

She got to the bathroom and started the shower on the one side of the room, letting the water heat up. She stepped into the shower after a few moments, moaning a little bit as she felt the warm water flow over her. She took her soap from the shower caddy and started to wash herself with her hand, making sure that every part that she could touch was clean.

Once she felt clean she washed herself off, letting the white suds go down the drain. It was after she was done that she heard the glass door of the shower open and an arm snake around her wet waist.

She looked back at him with a smile as he kissed her shoulder. "Miss me?" She asked.

He laughed a little and nodded, "I think I may be a little too attached to you at this point in time." He said playfully.

"You act like that is a bad thing."

"Its not that. I just know that a few days from now we will not be able to be like this."

She shook her head, shushing him. "Lets not talk about that right now, ok?"

He nodded as he kissed her neck happily, "You're right. Its just about us right now." She pulled away from him and out of the shower, grabbing her towel. "Don't want to shower with me?"

"No, I do. I just know that if I do we will never get anything done if I do." She dried herself off and hung the towel up again. "So hurry up." She walked from the bathroom and to her own room, starting to get dressed.

He quickly washed himself all over, getting out and drying himself off. He quickly made his way to her bedroom in just enough time to see her slipping on a long skirt over her hips. "I like that." He told her with a smile.

"You like everything that I have, don't you?" She asked as she slipped on a simple shirt over her bare chest. These were things she had had from before, but that were a little more elegant.

He nodded, his towel in between his lips and dangling in front of him. "I like that its on you." He stared at her chest, her nipples like little pebbles under her thin shirt. He dropped the towel from his teeth, catching it before it fell. "Arnt you going to have a bra?"

"I was not planning on it, do you think I should?" She asked, looking down on herself.

"No." He said abruptly. "I like it like that."

"You can't feel me up while we are in the restaurant." She said playfully.

"I can't?" he smiled with his eyes still on her as she combed her hair, pulling it back into a slick style.

"No that has to happen later."

He rolled his eyes lightly, "Whatever." He laughed a little bit and went to his own room, picking out something to ware.

She put on make up; pigment on her lips and some fine while powder on her eye lids. She looked into the mirror with a soft smile, her hands running over her body. She laughed a little bit and turned, leaving the room and going to his, grabbing the small tub of lotion before she did so. She laughed a little bit at the fact that he was still naked, his oil covered hands running though his long hair.

"You are just as bad as my warriors." She teased him happily, reaching out and slapping his bottom. He raised an eye brow and looked at her.

"Do you do to them what you do to me?" he asked playfully.

She smiled and sat down on the bed, looking up at him. "I talk about it with them."

"What?" his voice dropped, the thought of her talking with others about their sex life making him panic a little bit.

"Yeah how do you think I came up with all this?" She asked. "All the sex stuff we've been doing."

"So they told you about that."

She nodded, "They did. They told me how to please a man."

"And they all knew it was me that you were going to be pleasing?"

"Well Yeah. Its common knowledge that you and I are together."

He combed his oiled hair, looking at her with a soft from. "Don't talk about that stuff with others, please."

"Why not?"

"Cause sex is private and nothing that should be talked about with other, especially your subordinates." She rolled her eyes, saying nothing. "I will start talking about it with my guards, or the servants at the palace. How would you like that?"

"Its not the same, Zuko."

He put his under shirt on, followed by some long brown pants. "How is it not?"

"Cause I was nervous and had no idea what I was doing." She held her upper arm nervously. "I had bought a book while I was in the city before I left and some of the other girls found it and just started talking. They just told me about the different things that one can do and I listened to them and leaned from them."

He listened as he put the top half of his hair back into a top knot.

"Its not like I specifically asked them what to do to you, I just listened to them. Got tips and stuff from them." She got off the bed walked over to him as she opened the small jar.

"Tips?" He chuckled a little bit as she started to apply lotion to his scar.

She nodded, "Like that licking thing I did, when I put my tounge on the underneath side of you."

"I liked that." He purred, wrapping his arms around her waist with his eyes still closed.

She nodded, "Thats how I learned that, from the girls on this island." She was applying lotion with great care and attention.

"What are they, porn stars?"

She nudged him playfully, a smile on her face. "Hey now. They are good girls."

"I know they are." He leaned down and kissed her softly, his hands on her upper arms. "and I'm glad they told you. If for nothing else than to put you at ease." He shrugged a little bit as she finished up with his face. He opened his eyes and looked at her.

"And I still have a few more tricks to show you."

"Oh?" He raised an eye brow. "Like what?"

"You will have to see." She kissed him quickly before pulling away going back to her room. "Now get finish getting dressed."

She put on her green cloak, wrapping it around her shoulders and walking back into the hall. He walked out of his room with his long hooded cloak around him, the hood covering his face.

"You look so dramatic."

"You like?" he asked.

She nodded and reached out, taking his hand and pulling him close to her. "I like that you like it."

They walked out of the house, Suki clinging to his warm arm to fight off the cold.

"Do you feel any different now?" She asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Well I mean we are having sex, do you feel any different."

He shook his head, "Not really." he laughed at her soft frown. "I mean I still love you the same."

"Well yeah." She kissed his shoulder, "I feel different."

"Different how?"

"I feel like a woman." She laughed a little bit. "I feel like your woman."

He blushed deeply, looking away. "I guess in a way..."

"I know its nothing, just kinda how I feel."

"No I'm glad you told me." His gaze went to her, smiling softly. "I don't want you to think that I claimed you or something. I don't think of you in that way, you know that right?"

"Well yeah I don't see myself as a post that you pissed on." He frowned nervously, looking away. That was not what he had been saying at all. "I just feel grown up. I feel like after all this time I'm finally a woman."

He kissed the side of her head, "You've always been a woman to me."

She laughed and nodded at him, biting his shoulder playfully.

They got to town and found a very nice restaurant. Suki did all the talking, Zuko holding her hand possessively as he pulled his hood over his face, trying to cover his scar. They were seated in the back in a small alcove that was covered on the one side by a long red curtain. As soon as they were in the booth he pulled his hood down, finally alright with showing his tale tell scar.

"Why don't you want anyone to know who you are?" She asked him, sitting next to him with a leg resting on his upper thigh, her calf and foot dangling in the air.

"I guess I just don't want people to yell at me or something, I don't want people to be angry with me." He ran his hands over her leg, getting comfort from her skin.

"Why would they be angry with you?" She asked.

The waiter brought them each a cup of tea. The small woman smiled at Suki then at Zuko. When she looked at him she blinked in surprise, then bowed to him a little bit before leaving the table.

He smiled nervously, at her action, a flush spreading across his cheeks. She laughed softly at him. "I would think that you would be used to it. You've only been Fire Lord for 6 years."

"I'm used to being at home, in Capital City. I mean if they see me there is no big deal, but they are not used to me here." He took a sip of his tea.

"Well then we will have to change that." She reached out and ran her fingers over his scar with a smile. "I want to come here more, and I want you to be ok with being here."

He ran his hand over hers, looking into her eyes. "I guess we could try that."

"Good, cause I hate it when you're shy." She pulled away from him and took a drink of her tea.

"I'm not shy with you." He leaned in and kissed her on the cheek softly.

"I'm serious." She said happily, shrugging him away. "I want us to come here in the future, with our friends and with our kids."

He nodded, "I would like that too."

"So they you have to stop being weird." She tickled his side a little bit, making him laugh.

The small waitress came back, her face flushed over a little bit. "May I take your majesties orders?"

"We will just have the rice with the Komodo sausage." Suki told her with a smile.

"As well as some sea soup please." He smiled at the waitress, making her blush more.

She nodded and bowed, "Right away." She smiled at the both of them as she left.

"I hate that your majesty stuff." She told him with a frown, in a soft voice.

"You get used to it." He shrugged, leaning back in his seat a little bit, his arm going around her shoulders.

She looked back at him with a smile, reaching out and taking her free hand into her own. "I've been thinking about you." She told him.

"Ok?" he asked, his eyebrow raised. "I'd hope you were thinking about me."

She laughed, "I was just thinking how different you are."

"In a good or a bad way?"

"In a great way." She smiled at him. "You are so kind, so wise, so amazing."

"So I'm not a little shit anymore?"

She shook her head with a smile, "You've not been a little shit for a long time." She winked at him, "And even if you were a little shit you would be my little shit."

"You always have a way with words." He played with the tips of her hair with the hand that was around her shoulders.

"Much like you do, Fire Lord."

He leaned up and took a drink of his tea after she poured him more from the kettle they had been given.

"Can't we just stay here on the Island?" She muttered, looking at him. "Never have to worry about going back?"

"I wish." He told her with a frown. "I wish we could just stay here forever, just the two of us."

"But..."

"We can't. Either of us."

She closed her eyes and squeezed his hand tightly. "I know..."

"It will be ok Suki. You have my word." He leaned in and kissed her on her shoulder.

She nodded, opening her eyes and looking at him. "I know, Zee."

The waitress showed up as well as another woman with the food. They both smiled politely at them as their flood was placed at the table before them. Zuko and Suki both thanked them and started to eat.

The food was good, great even. Zuko envied the way that they had spices the sausage just right. It was spicy but not overwhelming, the sea soup had a great texture, and even the rice was perfect. It amazed him how his thoughts on food could changed since learning to cook himself.

Suki enjoyed the meal, but just thought that she would rather have Zuko's cooking. It was just better to her than this.

"I should try and make this tomorrow." Zuko commented, motioning to the sausage. "What do you think?"

She stole a piece off his side of the plate, "I guess so." She smiled at him.

They ate their food till they had had their fill, both of them having been much more hungry than they were thought they were. They paid for their meal, even though the owner of the restaurant insisted that they not. Zuko just left an abnormally large tip with the waitress instead.

They walked together on the path out of town and toward the beach house, his hood up around his face. "Do you wanna sleep with me again?" Zuko asked her.

She nodded, "Of corse." She wrapped her arm around him from the side, kissing him on the cheek.

He looked at her happily, feeling the same comfort that he usually did from her. "Can we talk about something serious for a moment?" He asked her as they walked. He reached up and pulled down his hood so that he could see her freely.

She nodded, looking up at him. "Sure."

"If you get pregnant we have to get married right away." His voice was serious and low, letting her know that there was no joking in the topic.

She looked at him, but then nodded softly. "We don't have to have sex if you don't want to. I know that its a little technical with you."

"No I do. I just need you to know that if a child become involved things will have to change."

"Will the heir be legitimate?" She asked.

He nodded, "If we get married before the child is born it will be. I will be sure of that."

"Are you positive? I don't want our child to be a bastard." Her voice was firm.

"It won't be." He glanced over at her, their arms intertwined. He was taken-a-black by her tone, but he liked it.

She stopped, looking at him with a serious look on her face. "I'm fucking serious Zuko." Her free hand went to his chest. "I want the child that you and I make to be Fire Lord one day. And I don't want anything to come in the way of that." She bit her lip and looked at him.

He shook his head, "No I understand. I want that too." He kissed the top her her hand a few times after brining it to his mouth.

"I just love you so much, and I look forward to carrying your child, our child."

He nodded at her happily. "I'm looking forward to it too. Too our family, to our future." He leaned in and kissed her tenderly, holding her close to him from around her waist. "I'd like for it not to be for a while, but whatever happens, happens."

She nodded in agreement, "How long do you wanna wait?"

"4 years. In 4 years I will be 27 and you 26. I think that would be a good time to really start getting serious."

"Getting serious about?"

"Kids, marriage..."

"We better be married before then." She told him playfully.

He laughed a little bit, "Oh I plan to be. I was more talking about the kid thing really. I don't want too long to be married."

She shook her head, "Nor I."

"Besides, we kinda already are, remember?"

She just nodded and went to kiss his chin. She held onto his close, her hands going around his waist and down behind him. She squeezed him roughly, feeling his hard muscles.

"I keep thinking about having sex with you." She told him in a deep voice, speaking into his lips. "About the smell of your body, the taste of your cum." She rubbed her face into his with a smile. "Its why even though its hurts I still wanna do it." She bit at his nose while growling a little bit.

His eyes were wide as she told him these things. He pulled them over to the side of the road, hiding from some people that were approaching them. "Keep talking." He told her as he held her around the waist.

She smiled into his lips, "I love you being inside me." She looked at him with large eyes. "I love feeling it."

"Doesn't it hurt?"

She nodded, pulling on his hair a little bit. "As long as I'm with you nothing will ever hurt."

He pressed his lips to hers, moaning a little bit. She kissed him back, his tongue slipping into her mouth. A moan came from her lips as they kissed with much passion, his strong hands grabbing her bottom possessively. She whimpered with pleasure as she pushed him away softly.

"Please Suki..." He begged, wanting more from her.

"I know Zee." She pulled away from him, pulling him along to the house.

She could tell that he wanted her in that moment, that given the chance he would ravage her right here on the road. She was half tempted to let him do it. She looked for a bush, or a rock, anything that she they could use to hide while they had sex.

She pulled him towards a large rock, pressing her back against the side of it that was facing away from the road, pulling him in towards her.

He crashed into her with a deep kiss, his hands going to her skirt to pull it up. She moaned and held him do so, lifting her skirt up over her hips as she wrapped her legs around his hips. He pulled his already hard cock out of his pants and pressed himself into her. She used her legs to pull him closer as he pressed into her. He held himself up with his hands pressed to the large rock on either side of her waist.

He pounded in and out of her while pressing his lips onto hers, both of them moaning. It did not take him long before there was a hard moan from his lips and she felt him come into her. Her hands dug into his shoulders as she felt him tremble against her. She could not help but laugh softly as she felt this.

"Oh Zuko." She said into the kiss happily.

He smiled happily at her, opening his eyes and looking into her's. "I love you, Suki." He let her slip down to the ground, her legs shaking a little bit. He said nothing but just kissed her again, a bit more relaxed this time. She felt that the fire inside him had died down a little bit after his release, after his need was addressed.

"We should get back." She told him with a smile.

He nodded and nudged her face with his nose, smiling at her softly. He pulled away from her and they walked to the house. "I kinda wanna go to bed, you can stay up a little if you want though." He told her once they got to the house.

She removed her cloak, "No I will go to sleep with you tonight."

"You sure?" He asked, yawning.

She nodded, taking his cloak off him. "I don't wanna be apart form you." She mumbled.

He smiled at her, leaning in and kissing her softly.

"Don't tempt me." She laughed a little bit, her hands going to his strong neck.

"Who is temping you?"

"You, as always." She let go of him and walked to her bedroom taking her clothes off. The air was too cold to go naked as the past few nights, so she slipped on a pair of leggings under her skirt before removing it.

He went to his room and stripped to his shorts and under shirt, then joined her in her room as he let his hair down, combing his fingers though it.

"My room?" She asked.

He nodded, "I made sure you had the better mattress." he commented as he started to make the bed.

She laughed a little bit, watching him do so. "Still a funny thing to see."

"What?" He asked, looking up at her.

"You doing house work. I mean its sexy, but unusual."

He rolled his eyes lightly and sat another blanket on top of the one that was already on the bed. "I just want you to be happy and comfortable this week."

She helped him make the bed, making sure things looked alright. "I'm always going to be happy and comfortable with you."

They both slipped under the blankets, cuddling against one another to fight off the cold, his back pressing to her stomach. "I will always be happy with you." He said under his breath. She smiled a little bit, her arms around his waist possessively. "Till the day I die..."

She blushed and kissed the back of her head. "Don't be so dramatic."

"I'm serious." He said with a yawn. "I will only love you till the day I die. Only you." He was very tired, his voice weary.

"But if something happens to me..."

"Nothing will."

"Zuko, anything could happen." Her voice was soft, almost a moan.

"Nothing will." His hands went to hers, squeezing them tightly. "I will never let anything happen to you." His voice was serious, "I will always be there to protect you, not that you need it." he smirked a little bit.

She smiled and kissed the back on his neck happily, "I will never turn away your protection or love." He closed her eyes, smelling his hair. "And I will always love you too." tears formed in her eyes as she smiled. "I will love you till I take my last breath." She frowned, thinking about the future. "I get so scared for you though. I know that you will outlive me, and I know that you will have to suffer though the winter of your life alone." She tightened her grip around him, "And that keeps me up at night, that makes my stomach lurch with fear Zuko." She shook her head, "But until that day I will be anything and everything that you ask of me. I will be your friend, your lover, your partner, your wife, your Fire Lady, whatever you want." She smiled into his hair as tears fells down her cheeks. "I am yours; Fire Lord Zuko."

The only thing that came out of mouth was a snort, a snore actually. She laughed a little bit, 'Of corse you are asleep.' She kissed the back of his neck again, smiling to herself.

She pressed herself to him, thinking about how vulnerable he was like that. She could not help but smile, getting a certain amount of pleasure from it. She willed herself to sleep, but it did not come. She felt him groan in his sleep, but it made her none the less restless. She eventually feel asleep, the feeling of his chest rising and falling as it filled with warm breath relaxing her.
