*** It seems these chapters keep getting longer lol. Well, I had a lot of 'detail' to add in... I guess this is what you call "lemon" on here, though I don't get it... Oh well, when God gives you a creative imagination, you make lemons! right? K on with it now...***
After the surprising news of Lee Yun's granddaughter, everyone was excused from Aang and Lee Yun's presence so that they may talk in private. Katara felt empty as she went to her room that was prepared for her for her stay there. She had just come out with her feelings for Aang, and he to her as well, and it seemed as though she was already going to lose him. Tears ran down her cheek as she stood there, leaning against the closed door in her room. How could she possibly think that she could be with the Avatar? She had never really looked at him in such a way as the rest of the world did, because they didn't know him like she did. To her, he was always just Aang. But he was much more than that. He was practically placed on a high pedestal and his place and loyalty was to the world, not herself. Katara felt a sharp pain in her chest at the realization that maybe it just wasn't going to happen after all.
It was later in the evening when Aang had left the house's back garden, finally over with his conversation with Lee Yun.
Aang came up to Katara's bedroom door and stopped right in front of it. He took in a deep breath and slowly let it out. He knocked softly on the door. No answer. He tried again, and still no answer. He thought for a moment, and then opened the door. She was sitting on her bed, her back facing the door. She was hugging her bent legs and had her chin rested on her knees. She was staring off at nothing.
Aang's heart sank at the sight of her. He fought back the tears that were threatening his eyes, and called out to her.
"Katara…"
She sighed softly, then slowly turned herself to face him.
Back at the garden, Maiya was in a rage. "You couldn't have tried a little harder to convince him?" She yelled at her grandfather.
"Maiya, quiet down! People are sleeping!"
Maiya put on her best pouting face and looked away.
"Well, we still have another plan in motion." Lee Yun said. "You know, just in case something like this were to happen…"
Maiya looked up at him, confused. "Really? What is the plan?"
"I put a special drug in his tea. It should take its effect sometime soon, so you may want to go visit him in his room in a bit."
Maiya blushed, "What… what kind of drug?"
Lee Yun chuckled, "Just go, and I will take care of the rest. I'll make sure to come by his room before it gets too out of hand. It's the perfect trap for forcing him into marriage with you."
Maiya stared at her grandfather in disbelief. They didn't find out till later that Aang wasn't in his room. And though Maiya waited at his door for a while, the thought that Aang was upstairs and at the other end of the big house in Katara's room never occurred to her.
Aang walked in and closed the door. He came up to the edge of her bed and stared at her with sadness in his face.
"So…" Katara started, with an indifferent tone in her voice, looking down at the floor, "What happened?"
"Well, of course I turned him down. You knew I would, right?"
She looked up at Aang. Relief fell over her. "Aang, I didn't know what you would do. You're the last airbender… well, no you're not anymore. I guess it would make sense to be with another airbender so that your chances of having children that can airbend are higher. After all, your duty is to the world…"
"Katara!" He cut her off. "I know I've been so focused on doing what's right, and keeping the world in balance is my job as the avatar, but when it comes to you, I just don't care about the rest of the world! I don't want to be with anyone else but you! Geez, sometimes I wish I wasn't born as the Avatar… But… "He looked away from her and softened his voice. "but then I realize that if I wasn't the Avatar, I wouldn't have met you, so that wish of not being the Avatar just goes right out the window. I didn't sleep in a block of ice for a hundred years just to marry some crazy airbender girl I don't know! It was to meet you. I belong with you! And I only want to be with you. And besides, we don't know for sure she is an airbender. I haven't seen her doing any airbending yet. But honestly, I could never love anyone else, or even think about doing… intimate things… with anyone but you."
She was looking up at him again with surprise on her face, tears burning her eyes.
"We're leaving tomorrow. I told Lee Yun I would teach his granddaughter how to airbend, but I won't marry her. He knows how to find me later when he gets over me rejecting his granddaughter. He convinced me to have us just stay the night tonight and that we could leave in the morning if we'd like," He said.
Katara nodded and smiled. She got up and caught Aang by surprise with a hug. And just then, she felt a little pain in her stomach. She let go and held her stomach.
"Are you ok, Katara?"
"Yeah, just a little stomach ache. Maybe I drank too much of that sweet tea."
Aang giggled, "Yeah I'll say…. You even drank mine!"
Katara gave him an apologetic look and he smiled. He pulled her head forward and kissed her forehead.
"I'd like to go to sleep now," she said in a tired voice.
He nodded, "Ok. Goodnight then."
He walked to her door, and she stopped him with a tug on his shirt. He looked back at her.
"Aang, I…" She felt embarrassment show in her flushed face. "I love you."
Aang's eyes widened, and he turned his body completely around and embraced her tightly and pressed his lips against hers. Katara felt the butterflies in her stomach go wild, more than ever, and her body tingled with excitement.
He broke from the kiss and looked into her eyes, holding her face with both of his hands. "I love you too, Katara. And I hope you don't mind, but from now on, you are going to be known as the girlfriend of the Avatar."
It was Katara's turn to be surprised now. She nodded and giggled, and hugged him again.
"I'll see you in the morning." He said. Then he left her room.
Outside of her room, Aang sighed and quietly laid his back against her door and he looked dreamily up at the ceiling.
She stood there for a moment in the middle of the room, just smiling and blushing. Well, guess I worry too much about things, she thought. Since Aang came back from being away for six months, he had been so passionate and straight forward with his feelings towards her. Katara still had the tingling sensation all over her, more so than she had ever felt before. She felt like she was beginning to sweat, so she decided to change into her thin night robe that she slept in on warm nights. She undid the sash around her waist and let it drop to the ground. She removed her clothes until she was only in her white bindings that covered the womanly areas of her body.
Outside her door, Aang heard the rustling sound of clothes being removed. A sudden sensation fell over him, and he guiltily stayed there to listen.
Katara's strange feeling felt like it was growing more and more powerful. She undid her bindings slowly over her breasts and then the lower ones. She slipped on her night robe and then stopped before she tied on the sash. She felt so hot, and confused about what was going on with her body. She just thinking of her kissing him, remembering how she felt when he kissed her so passionately just the other day, and the tingling all over her body was beginning to focus more in between her thighs. Unconsciously, her hand started sliding down between her thighs, then up to her womanhood. She gasped at the pleasure she felt from touching herself. But it only made the heat worse. She removed her hand quickly, and she moaned and whimpered.
Aang heard her, and it sounded like she was in pain. He almost went inside, but thought better of it since she might still be changing. So he waited and continued to listen.
Katara struggled with tying the sash around her to keep her robe up, then sat on the edge of her bed. She was still breathing heavy, and the hot sensation that was drowning her body wasn't going away. What was wrong with her, she wondered. She slid her hand back down between the curtains of her robe, and gasped softly again at her own touch on the lips of her womanhood. She pressed harder, and let out a moan, almost sounding like she was in pain.
Aang heard the soft and muffled noises coming from her room. Thinking she was in pain, he couldn't take it any more. He knocked on her door. She jumped at the sound, and before she could answer or get up, the door opened. Aang stood in the doorway. "Are you ok?" Then he let out a small gasp.
He could see the curves of her perfect body through the thin material of her night robe, and the look on her face was one he had never seen before. Her eyes were heavily lidded and her expression looked almost like she was in pain. His jaw almost fell at the sight of her.
She looked away, embarrassed. "I'm ok. "She breathed out the words heavily.
Aang walked into the room now and slowly closed the door. "You don't look ok. Is your stomach still in pain?" He walked over to her.
No, please don't come closer to me, she thought to herself. But he sat down right next to her.
"Do you want me to get you some medicine?" He asked.
"No, I'm fine…" She could barely control even her voice. The heat was taking over her. Just thinking of Aang made it worse, and now he was sitting so close to her and his body was barely brushed up against hers. Her cheeks were very red, and he stared at her, wondering what was going on.
He looked down and saw that he could completely make out the shape of her breasts through her robe. She's not wearing her bindings over her chest, he thought to himself.. His face turned red and he felt heat rising in him below his belt. Katara noticed his stare and it made her womanhood throb. She clenched her thighs together and tightened her muscles in her feminine area.
Aang watched her every movement, confused . His mind was running wild. She seemed like she was in pain, but for some reason, he almost knew she wasn't. He lifted his hand to her face and pushed her head gently to face him. His own breathing picking up, and he looked down into her luscious blue eyes. They were glazed, he saw, as she looked back into his eyes. "Are you ok? Is there something you need me to do?" He asked in a soft, almost whisper.
She tightened her thighs again, the soft sound of his voice was so powerful to her. She had never felt so much need for him before, never like this. She felt like she was on fire. She wanted him so much to attack her with passion, but at the same time she wanted to shove him away from her before that heat building up inside her made her explode. She couldn't speak, she felt like she had no words to say. Fear and lust showed in her eyes as she placed her hand over his hand that was on her face. The hotness between her legs was almost painful. She tried so hard to not rub her womanhood with her thighs anymore, but the sensation was overpowering. She clenched her eyes shut and whispered words that Aang could barely hear, but still it was heard… Aang… please…
He completely came undone. He didn't have much experience with girls, only what he experienced with Katara, but his instincts were what was beginning to guide him, along with the memories of his many fantasies that he had about her. He was hesitant, but he pulled her face to his and kissed her lips tenderly. Katara moaned lightly against his lips unknowingly. She felt scared of what was going on with her, but she knew she wanted his touch more than anything.
Aang parted her lips with his tongue and attacked her mouth with it. She arched her back and her breasts pushed up against his chest. She was getting hotter and she tightened her thighs again. Aang felt her do it, and he figured that down there was the source of her agony. He felt a jolt of excitement when he felt the silk of her robe when he lowered his hand on her leg, and he hesitated, waiting for her to protest. But when she didn't respond negatively, he slipped his hand under the fabric of her robe. Katara let out a small gasp against his mouth as his fingers touched the top of her thigh. The sensation taking control over his body became stronger when he realized she wasn't wearing her lower bindings either. They paused from kissing, staring at each other with heavy lids, their open mouths barely touching. As he stared at her with longing in his eyes, he continued to slip his hand up her thigh. The sensation was almost too much to for her to bare.
His fingers slid gently across the lower part of the lips of her womanhood, and she gasped and whimpered at the same time. She squeezed her eyes shut and looked again as if she was in pain.
"Katara," He said softly. "Am I hurting you?" He stopped his hand, but it never left the area if found.
She shivered against him again. His hand wasn't moving, it stayed right where it was, his fingers gently laid over her womanhood . His hand touching her felt so much more incredible than her own hand for some reason.
"No." She breathed the words out forcefully. "It doesn't hurt."
He began to move his hand again, softly rubbing her folds and he could see it in her face that it was driving her crazy, and it was arousing him to the extreme. "How does it feel?" He asked passionately into her ear, his hot breath on her skin sending shivers down that side of her body.
Katara's soft panting became deeper. "It feels…." She squeezed her eyes closed. "really.. g-good…"
He breathed heavily against her cheek, lowered his head and kissed her jaw line by her ear, and at the same time his fingers rubbed against her folds and he slipped a finger between them. She froze and grabbed his arms. Aang grinned. He found her sensitive spot. He was feeling more and more aroused with every breath and gasp she made, and he knew he couldn't get any more hard than he was now. She was so warm and she was getting quite wet. He continued his massage, and she cried out his name softly.
And that was it. He couldn't take it any more. She let out a breath forcefully as he removed his hand from her. He went for the sash that was tied around her and undid it. She grabbed the silk before it fell off of her to reveal her body, and looked at him with a scared expression. He moved in on her face and kissed her softly. He rubbed his hand down her side and then broke away from her lips and looked intensely at her.
"Katara." He whispered against her lips. "Please, let me see you." She knew she wouldn't be able to hold onto her robe for very long, and his alluring voice is what did it.
He moved his hand over her hands that were holding her robe in place, and she loosened her grip. His hand pulled away the silk to reveal her naked body. He stared at her in awe. He had never seen a girl naked before.
"Katara…" He whispered. "You're so unbelievably beautiful…"
She blushed and felt even more shy after his words. She felt the heat in her womanhood igniting even more, and she subconsciously gripped her upper thigh. Aang was beginning to sweat, so he took his tunic off, but left his pants on. He then wrapped his arms gently around Katara and started to move her down. He placed his hand at the back of her head as the back of her body was laid gently on the bed, as if he was holding the most delicate treasure in the world.
Her eyes never left his gaze, and after he set her down, he softly rubbed his hand down her neck and down further to between her breasts. He looked down at them, taking in the wonderful sight. They were perfectly rounded, not small at all, but not too big either. Everything about her body was in perfect proportion. He wondered how he could ever have been so blessed to be with such a wonderful girl like her. She blushed as he stared dreamily at her.
His hand slid across her right breast, and as a finger went over the peak of her breast, she gasped in pleasure. She felt like his skin was leaving a trail of fire wherever he touched her body.
He positioned himself so that his hand could make it's way back down to the spot that gave her the most pleasure, and her mouth fell open in a silent gasp when he reached his destination. He moved his middle finger around between her folds and then started pressing harder. He noticed her grip on his sides got stronger when he pushed harder, so he continued to do it that way.
"Aang…" She moaned. She was going crazy as she felt the pleasure building up in her. Aang bent his head down and kissed her right breast. His cheek slid across her nipple as he trailed his tongue along her breast, then he went up and licked it. She gasped louder then. He swirled his tongue around it, loving the taste of her skin. Then he closed his mouth around the target and lightly sucked on it. It felt so amazing to her that she subconsciously placed her hand on his head. Before she pressed down on his head to bring it closer to her chest, she realized what she was doing and immediately became too embarrassed to push, but she left her hand there.
And then, she felt it. The hard bulge in his pants pressed up against her leg, and she suddenly felt terrified. She was so caught up in the pleasure that Aang was giving to her that she forgot to comprehend what was going on with them. Was she ready for this?
Aang felt her shiver at the pressure of his erection against her leg. He raised his head up a little and looked at her, watching her expression as he massaged the most sacred part of her body. She grabbed his arm that was supporting his weight above her as she felt herself reaching her limit. Aang saw that the intensity was building up in her, and as she started to moan louder, he placed his hand over her mouth to muffle the sounds and began to move his fingers faster and harder. She nearly screamed into his hand as she climaxed.
Another moment later, the sensation in her slowly came to an end and she was breathing heavy as if she just ran across the continent. She opened her tear filled eyes and stared at Aang. He stared back at her. He wanted to take it further, to take her completely, but he was afraid that she may not be ready for that level of intimacy and he was afraid of scaring her if he tried.
So he reached for the covers and laid them over her and then lay right next to her. She turned on her side, facing him, and they just stared at each other. Her arms were crossed over her chest, still embarrassed about being completely exposed to him. He pulled her into his embrace, and kissed her forehead. She wrapped her arm around him, and he felt her breasts push up against his chest. He tried his best to not rub his still erection against her. The urge was very hard to resist though.
"Katara…" He whispered. "I love you so much."
"I love you… too…" She whispered back as she lost consciousness and gave into her tiredness and fell asleep.
Aang waited a little while before slipping out of her bed. He knew something wasn't right. There was no way Katara would have been like that all of a sudden. Something must have caused her to do it. He quietly made his way downstairs and peered down the hall and was caught by surprise. Maiya was sitting on the floor next to his bedroom door, her back against the wall, asleep. It looked like she was waiting for him. He then stopped and thought for a moment. What was she doing there? He wasn't stupid, he knew how much of a crush she had on him, and then a thought occurred to him. He had enough education about different types of tea and medicine from Uncle Iroh to be suspicious about it. He quietly crept past her and made his way to the kitchen. After searching for a while through cupboards, he found the medicine stash. The culprit was right in the front, which means it was probably used more recently than the others. He read the label. It was a type of aphrodisiac. He couldn't pronounce the name of it, but he had heard of it and knew it was a very illegal drug and used for rape in most cases. He read the effects on the back: 'Takes effect after about 2 hours of consumption. Intensely arouses user into sexual acts. Use on women to succumb them into sexual activity. Use on men to highly increase sexual desire. Effects wear off after approximately four to five hours, or after climax. Perfect for arranged marriages to unattractive partners.' Aang raised one eyebrow to the bluntness of the last part of the description.
So that was it, then. It was put into his tea so that when Maiya came to his room, he would attack her. She even waited at his door for him. He shivered at the thought of it. He put the medicine back where he found it and quietly made his way back to Katara's room. He already knew he wouldn't be able to sleep that night. It was only a few hours felt until sunrise anyway. He crawled back in bed next to Katara and wrapped her in his arms, careful to not wake her up.
A couple of hours later, he decided it was time to wake her up. She was shocked and almost yelped at the sight of herself naked next to Aang. He quickly put his hand over her mouth and motioned her to keep quiet.
She suddenly remembered what had happened and she went beat red with embarrassment.
"They tried to poison me with an illegal aphrodisiac, probably to get me to attack Maiya and force me marry her for doing it. They put it in my tea, but you ended up drinking my tea." She stared at him wide eyed after his explanation.
"Yeah, I know, pretty messed up huh?" He took her hand and kissed her palm lovingly. Katara shivered at the gesture. He looked at her with apologetic eyes.
"It's ok Aang." She said, "You're a guy, of course you would want to… well, you know… after the way I was acting from the drug."
"No, Katara… if it were any other girl, there would be no way I would do that. But it was you…" He explained, his eyes burning as he stared into hers. "I wanted to… I mean… I just… I want you, no one else. It took all of my strength to not go all the way with you."
Katara felt a tingling in her lower stomach, and she remembered the feeling of his rather large erection push up against her leg. She felt desire in her, but at the same time, she was terrified. She blushed, "Aang…"
"I know… you're scared." He said softly, "I didn't think you were ready. And I definitely don't want this to happen here. But I… I just…" He left his sentence broken. He pulled her closer to him, her arms covering her chest. He wasn't sure what else he could say to her. He wanted to pour out all of his desires to her, tell her how much he wanted her, but he couldn't. He sighed. "We need to leave here before Lee Yan and his granddaughter wake up. I'll leave the room, you can get changed and I'll wake the others."
The next morning, Elder Lee Yan knocked softly on Aang's door. No answer. What, did the boy stay out all night and not return to his room at all, he wondered. He was pretty irritated that his plan hadn't worked, of course. He opened the door and found that it was indeed empty, but there was a note on the bed.
Dear Mr. Lee Yan,
Thank you very much for your hospitality, but we decided to leave before dawn. We have many things to take care of back at home. I'm sorry that I cannot marry your granddaughter. I decided to leave this information out last night, I wasn't sure if it would have been appropriate at the time, but the truth is that I'm in love with another girl and do not intend to spend my life with any girl but her. Katara is the only girl I want to be with. But, like I said last night, I am willing to teach Maiya airbending if you so wish it, but not here. You can come for me at the Fire Nation Palace and I with teach her under the supervision of the palace guard. Sorry for leaving without saying goodbye.
Sincerely
Aang
p.s. I thought maybe I should let you know, I didn't drink the tea you served me last night. Sorry, but I only like to drink General Iroh's tea. Katara drank it though, and she enjoyed it quite a bit.
*** This almost seemed to me like this would be a pretty good ending here. But there is just so much more that Aang and Katara haven't done yet! I have a lot more ideas that I'm writing out. Next chapter isn't ready yet, and probably won't be for a couple of days because I'm going to be busy, but the plot is all set. Next week I have quite a bit of free time so I'll do as much as I can then. And oh! Maiya isn't quite out of the story yet...***
***BTW, I'm really into drawing and I am a very good artist. I was thinking of trying to turn my story into a fan comic, since I can't seem to find really any online of Avatar... Hmmm... Just something I'm thinking about...***
