Maiko Month
Prompt#3: Lust
Rating: T
Driven
Driven by the ache between her legs, Mai searched the palace for Zuko. She gave up any pretence of decorum and began to run, ebony hair bouncing along her shoulders, red robes floating up behind her like cloth wings. Servants shrieked and dived out of her way, shaking their heads, each one of them aware of Mai's goal.
"Have you seen the Fire Lord?" She tossed the words out, letting them fly, hoping someone would catch them.
One brave servant pointed toward the library. Mai smirked and continued her quest. She pushed open the double doors, ornate things, fierce dragons carved into the panels and swirling about gold handles. Mai didn't like the doors. They gave a false impression of the room inside. It was simple; shelf upon shelf upon shelf lining the walls, books organized by genre and then by author, cushioned window seats, chairs and tables with clean lines, plain rugs on the wood floor, plain curtains on the windows, potted plants near each source of light, drinking up the sun. A curved staircase led to a second floor of sorts, more of an alcove really. Mai retreated there when the pressures of daily life became too much. That's where she found Zuko. It was his retreat too.
As she climbed, the tingling in her sex became more pronounced. She squeezed her thighs together, moaning low under her breath. Zuko, unaware as of yet, stared out a small window, the sun bathing his face with its cheerful glow. The sight tore the breath from Mai and she gasped, grabbing hold of the narrow railing. She moved faster, and as she approached Zuko, he turned around, acknowledged the look in her eyes and helped to cover the distance.
Mai reached up and around, grabbing hold of Zuko's hair and yanking him close. Lust overwhelmed them both as it often did. It was a force in their lives, an entity that thrust them forward and together, into each other, over and under and everywhere. They gave into its power willingly, embraced it, let it take charge. Too many years Mai had repressed this emotion and that emotion, maintaining tight control. She could let go now, with Zuko and letting go was freedom. Zuko was glad to join Mai on her journey.
"Been thinking about you," Mai rasped in his ear.
Zuko reached up under her robes. "Yeah, you have." He sounded smug and confident, so sure of Mai's love and desire for him. And that turned Mai on all the more. She twisted under his touch, wanting everything and wanting it right now.
The library was silent but for their heavy breathing and whispered demands. They stopped for a moment, taking each other in. And then Zuko lay Mai down, and with deliberateness undressed her, touching, kissing, drawing in her scent.
"Please." She pleaded. "Now."
"Now," Zuko agreed.
And then they were lost completely in each other.
