SMUT AHEAD! MATURE MATURE MATURE!
I DO NOT OWN AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER or any of the characters. I create this story only because someone created the characters for me. I will not now nor ever make a profit from this story.
Side note – I have been rewriting several of the earlier chapters in my work. So there may be a few instances where what happens now, might not meet up with what happens later… Not a lot, just the small details.
Loving Desire:
Zuko woke up as the sun began to rise the next morning. He left his room and headed towards the kitchen. It was his turn to make breakfast.
To create a balance with the chores, Katara had created a list of what needed to be done and rotated everyone for each chore. That way no one was stuck doing the same thing, and no one was stuck doing everything. The only person to complain had been Azula, but after a challenging remark from Sokka, the complaining had stopped.
As Zuko entered the kitchen he found that he wasn't the only one awake.
"Good morning Zuko," Katara was standing near the fire pit, trying to stoke the flames back to life.
Damn it…Zuko really didn't want to start the day off with a hard on…but seeing her, bent over the fire pit no less, had him springing up instantly. He took several deep breaths, he could control this…he knew he could control it.
"Good morning Katara. What are you doing up so early?" he force his voice to remain neutral as he walked over to the fire pit.
"I thought you could use a hand with breakfast this morning, I know cooking isn't exactly your strong suit," she said, a small smile on her face.
"I burned dinner once, and you can't forget it, can you?" Zuko replied, rolling his eyes.
It had been in the beginning when he had first joined the group, and trying to be nice, he had offered to cook dinner. However, when he went to cook the meat, he had overestimated the time needed to keep the meat under his fire, and had burned it to a crisp. Even Sokka, the meat eater, refused to touch a bite of it. Zuko had never lived it down.
Katara chuckled, "well you have been getting better, but there are more of us now, so I thought I'd help you this morning. What were you thinking of making today?"
"I was thinking some eggs, bacon and pancakes. It's filling and easy to make for the masses," Zuko replied.
"Alright, I'll get the stuff from the pantry if you can get the stove hot and grab the pans," with that she walked away. Zuko couldn't help it, he stared at her back side as it swayed with each step she took.
Shaking himself from his thoughts, Zuko turned and worked on heating the stove.
As he pulled one of the pans out from the cupboard he heard something crash and Katara yell out.
"KATARA!" he ran towards the pantry. The flooring had collapsed, without thinking, Zuko jumped into the hole and landed a full story beneath the kitchen.
"Katara, are you okay? Say something!" He flicked his wrist and lit the single candle that was in the room, he found Katara lying against the wall.
"Katara!" running over to her, he gently picked her up and held her in his lap. Her eyes fluttered open.
"Ouch," she said quietly. "I think the flooring is a little weak right there."
Zuko gave out a small sigh. "This place is really old. I should have checked to make sure all the rooms were stable…I'm sorry Katara."
"Well you should be, because we all know you're a carpenter and know when flooring is getting weak," Katara's playful voice caught Zuko off guard. She started to sit up, Zuko flexed his arms, not quite ready to let go. When she cocked her eyebrow at him, he let her go.
Not happening Zuko…stop thinking it will.
"Sorry, I didn't know how hurt you were. I wasn't sure if it was safe to just let you get up," he lied.
"Nothing hurt but my pride, but thanks for worrying," Katara sat up and next to him.
"So what is this room?"
Zuko looked around, he wasn't exactly sure himself. They were in a simple square room that had two doors, one to the left and one to the right.
"I don't really know. I've never been down here. Want to check it out?" he cursed silently, why did he just ask that?! He was supposed to be avoiding her.
"Or maybe we should get back up and make breakfast…everyone will be getting up soon."
"I want to see what's down here. They won't mind waiting a few extra minutes to eat. Especially if we're finding a new place they can explore," she paused, giving Zuko a once over. A little light came into her eyes. "Unless of course it's better for you if we go back up…I don't want to cause…problems for you." Zuko rolled his eyes at her coy smile.
"I'm fine, I told you, I'm under control…and I'm not tempted by you." The lie came off his tongue like acid, he hated lying.
The light in her eyes dimmed.
"Oh…okay. Well then there's no problem exploring is there?" Katara stood up and held her hand out to him. Zuko hesitated a moment before taking it and allowing her to help him stand.
She led him towards the door to the right.
"It's locked," Katara said sadly, as she turned the doorknob.
"Here let me." Zuko gave a high kick to the door, splintering it open. Lighting a fire in his palm, he walked in. He flicked his wrist towards the candles that were spread throughout the room. His jaw dropped at what was revealed.
"Now that's a bed," Katara said in amazement.
Zuko could only nod in agreement. While the room held several massive tapestries with the fire nation capital, nothing could take the focus away from the massive bed in the center of the room.
Zuko noticed a small room attached where he found a bathroom. The bathroom was decorated with black marble and along with the sink and toilet there was a massive tub, big enough to fit three people, he estimated.
"Either there was a very big man…or woman…sleeping here. Or someone had a lot of guests," Zuko heard the laughter in Katara's voice.
"Or it was just an egotistical lord who wanted a secret hide out," Zuko replied dryly.
"But how would he have gotten down here? I doubt a lord would fall through the floors of a kitchen to get to this room…" Katara pointed out.
Walking back out to the main room, Zuko moved the biggest tapestry aside and found a secret passage.
"Through here would be my bet. Odds are it leads right up to the main bedroom of the house, where Teo or The Duke is sleeping, I believe. The space out there was built as a separate room to house a servant so they were present in case anyone needed anything while they were down here. The other door leads to their way out." He looked back at Katara, she looked amazed.
He shrugged, "I am a part of that royal family, I know how they think," Zuko responded, giving Katara a rare smile. When she smiled back, Zuko felt his heart rate increase.
He dropped the tapestry and moved closer to her, she was a temptation he couldn't get out of his head. Maybe if he did something, just for a moment, he could get rid of this demanding need.
He just needed one small…he stopped inches from her and closed his eyes. Taking a deep breath and then another, he made a silent vow that he wouldn't fall to the effects of the comet.
"Come on," he said blankly, "we should get back upstairs. Everyone will be wanting breakfast." He started to move back towards the hole they had created earlier. However as he walked towards the doorway, it collapsed, trapping their way out.
He leapt back, shielding Katara from the rubble.
"How did that happen?" Katara exclaimed.
"I have no idea. Come on, we'll take the secret passage," he grabbed her hand and started up the hidden stair case. Only this time, it wasn't a stair case, it was a smooth stone slide.
"What the…? Those were stairs before…weren't they?" he looked towards Katara. Her face held the same confusion he knew was on his own. Suddenly a light came from the top of the slide. Zuko looked up and watched as a medium size stone box slid down towards them, then the light disappeared once more.
Looking at Katara, Zuko moved the box further into the room.
"This is just getting weirder and weirder…"Katara said quietly. "What's in it?"
Zuko popped open the box and found, "well we have some food, water, and these." He held up a handful of red berries.
"Are those…plenta-berries?"
"Yeah they're…how did you know what they were?" Zuko questioned.
Most nations had tea as a way to protect unwanted pregnancy; the Fire Nation had tea and these special berries.
Katara shifted from foot to foot, as though nervous, "umm…Ty Lee told me about them the other day. I was collecting fruit to eat and I pulled a bunch of those. When I brought them in, she..uhh told me what they were."
"It seems we've been set up," Zuko cursed silently.
Damn it Azula! Why would you do this?
"What do you mean by we're being set up?"
"Someone in this house wants me to suffer." Placing the berries back in the box, he stood up and faced Katara's confused expression.
"And am I making you suffer?" Zuko watched as Katara put the pieces together and take a step back from him. "I thought you told me you weren't tempted by anyone in the house…and that you had it under control…"
"I do have it under control. I won't hurt you…touch you…I won't touch you. I'll just… go in the bathroom. It'll be safer that way. I'm sure in a few hours they'll let us out," he turned towards the bathroom intent on locking himself in and not leaving for anything.
When Katara grabbed his arm he cursed openly, why won't she just let me get out of here…
"Zuko…do you…want me?"
How can I answer that without giving my feelings away…I couldn't stand her rejection…
"I want you as much as you want me," he responded quietly, turning towards her.
"Good," the shock didn't have time to process as Katara put her arms around his neck and pulled him down for a kiss. Instinctively, Zuko placed his hand on her waist and pulled her closer, intensifying the kiss.
"Katara, you want me?"
"What do you think?" She pulled him down again, attacking his lips with her own. Zuko pressed his mouth against her, this time fully participating in the kiss. He opened her mouth with his tongue, demanding entrance. They dueled for dominance.
"You…wait. Wait," he pulled away from her slightly.
Leaning his forehead against hers he asked quietly, "Do you want to go further? I need to know, if you don't, I'll go lock myself in the bathroom. I don't…I don't want to push you into doing something you don't want to do."
Zuko leaned into the hand she placed on the scarred part of his face, she was the only one he willingly let touch it. The gentle acceptance in her face nearly made him cum right then and there.
"If I didn't want to go further, I wouldn't have kissed you in the first place. Other's may want you to suffer Zuko, but I'm not one of those people," when she went in for another kiss, Zuko pulled back. A look of hurt crossed her features.
"Are you doing this just because of the comet's affects?" He didn't need a pity fuck.
"No, I'm doing this because I want you. Only you," Her blue eyes were wide and open, Zuko felt as though she could see everything he felt.
He kissed her head softly, "if we do this, then we need to take precautions."
"I've been on the plenta- berries for two day, I'm…protected."
Zuko eyes widen at her admission.
"What…why? Why would you take them," he paused, unless, "Katara have you been thinking about… doing this?"
Katara looked up at Zuko, "I've been thinking about this since you helped me go after the Southern Raiders. I didn't think you were thinking of me that way, so I never said anything."
Zuko clasped Katara face between his hands, forcing her downcast eyes to meet his own, "yes…yes I've been thinking about you that way."
"Show me."
She took his hands and pulled him towards the bed.
Zuko couldn't believe it, Katara wanted him. She really wanted him. To make sure he wasn't dreaming, he tugged her back towards him and kissed her soundly.
He placed his hands on her waist; pressing his erection to the place he wanted the most. His control was slipping with each meeting of their lips, each caress of her hands on his back. He buried his face in her hair, calling upon his last bit of control. He needed to slow down, he needed to…
"Zuko, can I take off your shirt?"
Zuko groaned and stood straight while Katara undid the buttons of his shirt and pushed it from his shoulders. When she placed her hands against his chest, he groaned louder. Staying completely still, he watched her explore his upper body with her hands. Just when he couldn't take any more she stopped and took a step back.
Looking directly into his eyes, she unbelted her robe, and let it slide from her body. She was wearing a binding across her breast and a simple short skirt around her waist. Zuko's breath caught in his throat.
"Beautiful, you are beautiful," he moved closer, and placed his hand directly under her chest bindings, rubbing his thumbs against the hardened peaks through the fabric.
"Can I…can I remove this?" He fingered the binding, still looking directly at the contained mounds.
"Yes," her voice had become breathless.
Slowly Zuko removed the binding and released the mounds beneath. They fit his palms perfectly as he cupped them in his hands. Katara took a great intake of breath as he flicked his thumb over the hard peaks of each breast. He gave her a slight push, making her sit on the bed, than kneeled before her between her spread thighs.
He bent in and took a nipple into his mouth, still thumbing the other on with his hand.
"Zuko!" Katara's finger ran through his hair, pulling slightly. Zuko stopped looking up at her.
"Do you like this?" When she pulled his head towards the peaks once more, Zuko took that as a yes.
As he suckled her, his hand moved towards the inside of her thighs, then to the core of her.
What he found made him moan against her breast, she was wet, hot and wet and waiting. He pushed a finger into that heat, when she moaned, he placed another, stretching her, preparing her.
"Zuko, you need to…I need…oh spirits!" Her moans grew louder as he stroked his fingers in and out of her.
"What do you need Katara? Tell me what you need," he whispered, still fingering her slowly, suffering as she moaned out her pleasure.
"I need you. I need more of you…please," the soft pleading in her voice was Zuko's undoing.
He stood up and placed his hand on his pants, ready to shed them and be where he really wanted to be, inside her. But her soft hands stopped him.
"Let me, I want to see you," Zuko nodded and removed his hands. Watching intently as Katara slowly untied his pants and pulled them down. When they pooled at his feet, he stood before her naked and at her mercy.
Her eyes widened in wonderment and excitement as they locked on to his erect member. When she went to touch him, he moved out of her reach. He was barely keeping control as it was, if she touched him, he'd explode.
"Your turn," he pulled her to her feet. Without another sound he removed the skirt, the last shield against his gaze.
He took a step back to admire her in all her nakedness.
"Beautiful, just beautiful," he whispered. From the hair on her head, to her perfectly plump breast down to spot he was dying to bury himself in. It was covered with a little tuff of hair. Unable to resist, he ran his fingers down and in her once more, loving her moan.
"Come on Zuko," Katara, moved away from his fingers, than sat on the bed moving herself to the center of it and spreading herself for him.
Zuko couldn't help but follow her. He moved up her body and over her, bracing his weight on his hands next to her head. As his erection made contact with her core, he groaned and closed his eyes. He felt her hands on his face, and opened them looking into hers.
"Make me yours Zuko," she demanded in a soft whisper.
Using his hand he guided himself to her opening, slowly he pushed in, groaning.
So tight…so hot…so wet…oh Agni!
He didn't want to hurt her, so he went as slowly as he could, she was so tight…it was killing him.
"Zuko, faster, please," Katara said on a moan.
"I don't want to hurt you."
"You won't hurt me, please this is…this is killing me. Just do it." With that she grabbed his head and pulled him down for a searing kiss. Zuko moaned into her mouth and pushed all the way in, feeling the womanly barrier break. She broke the kiss and let out a small whimper of pain.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" he said quietly, not moving allowing her to adjust to his size.
"Just…give me a minute." Zuko watched as she took a few deep breaths, not moving, waiting for her to tell him he could.
"Could you…move just a little…"
He pulled out ever so slowly, she arched up.
"Yes…more…please."
So polite…even during sex… He gave her a small smile.
He thrust back in and out, going slowly as to allow her to adjust and give her a chance to stop him if there was any more discomfort.
"Can you move, faster…?"
Zuko increased his speed, delirious when she started moaning and arching to meet his thrust. When she wrapped her legs around his waist he almost lost control. His thrusts became harder and faster. Moans filled the rooms along with the noise of their love making.
Bending down he kissed her soundly, she thrust her tongue in his mouth mimicking the movement of his lower body.
"What's…Zuko…what's oh the spirits! ZUKO!" Zuko felt her tightening around him, lost in her climax, she yelled his name. As she pulsed around him, he let himself go and started pounding into her, until at last he felt his release as well.
"KATARA!" He yelled, filling her with himself.
He fell to the side of her on his his back, pulling Katara with him. She snuggled close and placed her head on his chest. They laid in silence for a few moments, each breathing heavily. Slowly they started to breathe regularly, their bodies beginning to cool slightly.
"That was…wow…" She leaned up on her elbow, looking down at Zuko, a glint in her eyes. Her hand slowly started moving from his chest down towards his shaft.
"When can we do it again?"
Zuko laughed, than moaned as her hand enclosed his member and his body prepared itself for round two.
Maybe this comet isn't so bad after all…
He looked up at her, "Just say the words, I'm at your mercy."
She rolled over and straddled his hips, his growing member tucked between the folds of her wetness.
As she bent towards his ear, he kissed the breast that came near his mouth.
"I'm ready." She took him into her warmth and Zuko was lost once more.
Author Note: YEAH SMUT!
This chapter was (obviously) dedicated toward Zuko and Katara. Azula and Sokka to come (pun possibly intended) soon! I was going to add to this one, but I knew it would push me into almost 5 – 6K words and I wasn't sure if that would work as well as if I just made it another chapter Hope you enjoyed it!
