Maraghoul, my friend, this one's for you. "Grease" popped into mind for the title. Yes, I am a nerd :P

"Tempting Fire"

Chapter ten "Summer days"

It was the third day inside the guest room. Ty Lee's heat finally tapered off to an end a few hours ago and she lay with Azula, legs tangled companionably. The sheets were sweaty, stained and rumpled around their naked bodies. Ty Lee rubbed her foot against the back of Azula's knee as she ran her fingers up and down the Princess' back.

Azula chuckled, cheek pressed into the mattress. She rolled on one shoulder, looking up at the very pleased and content omega. "I trust you're satisfied now."

"Yes…" Ty Lee blushed prettily. Her hair was loose and fell around her shoulders. Azula's hair was loosened and as touseled. They both could use another shower and find time to comb their hair. Their last efforts at bathing had only spurned Azula to take her against the shower wall of the washroom. They had gotten plenty wet but not exactly clean. But now both were languid with satiation and enjoying each other's warmth. "Are you happy?"

"I am…content," Azula leaned close, her cheek moving to rest against Ty Lee's breast. Her lips slowly opened and she kissed the curve of her flesh. "I don't know if I could move again."

"You'll have to, to go to the washroom, shower, or exercise," Ty Lee said cheekily. Azula rolled over. Her cock had gone back down, her clit soft. Ty Lee's eyes swept up and down Azula's toned stomach and smooth privates.

"That's if I chose to get up," Azula smiled devilishly. She pressed a series of kisses along Ty Lee's breast and up to her shoulder. Ty Lee's fingers sifted through her hair, holding her head in place.

"I don't want you to…hmmm…." Ty Lee cradled the back of her head. Azula leaned up for a kiss, hands roaming over Ty Lee's body. They kissed languidly.

Ty Lee was pleased to see a genuine smile on Azula's face. She massaged the side of Azula's cheek, gazing at her. She was relaxing enough to enjoy their time together. Life and love. At last….

There was a knock at the guest room door. Azula groaned and pulled the sheet up over them.

"Come in," she ordered. The door opened and Lo, or was it Li, entered, setting a tray of breakfast items onto the low table. It had been shoved against the far wall, after a foray onto the floor, and the ancient woman made no comment on the disheveled appearance of the room.

"If your time is finished, you may want to get some fresh air," The old woman said, a wicked twinkle in her eye. Ty Lee buried her face in Azula's bare shoulder. Azula laid an arm over her waist, leaning on her side languidly.

"Yes, that sounds appropriate. Thank you, Li," Azula said. The woman raised a thin eyebrow.

"I'm Lo," she offered, but shrugged and backed out of the guest room. Azula sat up and swept the sheet around her shoulders as she slowly climbed off the bed toward the low table. Ty Lee readily got up, watching Azula stagger as she rose to full height.

"Are your legs still sore?" Ty Lee asked. She stood, naked, and slung an arm around Azula's waist. Azula nodded as they knelt at the table. She collapsed, pale legs sprawling.

"It's not my fault. Dare I say, that was your doing." Ty Lee was pleased to see a smug smile stretching Azula's lips. They hadn't been painted in days, but Ty Lee found herself lingering on those beautiful lips despite herself.

"And all the bite marks were your doing," Ty Lee gave back. She settled against the Princess' shoulder and pulled under a corner of the sheet. They leaned against each other and began to eat.

Azula sipped her tea eagerly. A hearty meal after several hours of passion was as good as the sex itself. She wriggled her toes and stretched her legs out. Ty Lee took a bite of a dumpling, cradling her cup in one hand. She leaned up to kiss her cheek when she'd swallowed. Azula found her heart stretching in delicious aches. It was odd to feel so utterly at peace merely sitting, but it was all in the company.

"I think we should go outside today," Ty Lee suggested. Azula nodded. She pushed her bangs out of her eyes.

"I think we need to do some forms. We already did all the other physical positions," Azula gave her hip a pinch. Ty Lee jumped and leaned into her arm.

"That sounds great. We need a break as it is," Ty Lee chirped. She had enjoyed the sexual romp but Azula always tended to leave her slightly sore and deliciously stretched after a heat. She could use a rest. She felt very stretched, but full emotionally. Azula's fingers had touched her so softly in the aftermaths of several orgasms.

"I guess your sisters will be joining us," Azula sighed. Ty Lee kissed her bare shoulder as they ate eagerly.

"They're on task to. Besides, I'll be there," she said brightly. Azula quirked a smile at her. Her languid attitude was very becoming and Ty Lee's mood was bright.

After breakfast, they piled into the guest room private washroom. Azula started up the water tank, sparking a fire beneath with a careless flick of the wrist. Once the water was hot, she started the shower pump. Water streamed down into the claw foot tub. Ty Lee worked a toothbrush into her mouth, watching her lover with a soft look. Azula swept a lock of hair over one shoulder and scratched her stomach. She stepped into the tub and sighed as the hot water streamed over her. Ty Lee rinsed and spit, and climbed into the tub after her. She set her chin against Azula's shoulder, feeling her arms slide around her waist.

"We can do that later," Azula laughed, cupping the back of Ty Lee's head, angling her face up for a kiss. Ty Lee's fingers had begun to tease her back and she felt a stirring. Ty Lee smiled and they washed each other, taking turns to rinse in the shower's spray.

"Finally, all clean," Ty Lee sighed. Azula laughed as she swept the soapy sponge along Ty Lee's legs. She knelt before her. Ty Lee reflected it wasn't often the Princess got on her knees before anyone. She relished the calm look on Azula's face.

"Yeah, we got dirty enough," Azula said. She quirked a brow up at Ty Lee. Ty Lee helped her stand and they rinsed off, getting out. After toweling off, they pulled their swim suits on and covered them with loose billowy silk robes. The silk felt so good against the heat of the day as they made their way to the front room. Ying and the Kyoshi Warriors almost jumped out of their skin at their sudden appearance. When Azula opened the back door, they made to follow the pair down the stairs.

On the sand, Azula spread her legs. She stretched her arms to the sun, feeling the heat of the day move through her limbs pleasantly. She began rolling her neck back and forth and she spotted Ty Lee copying her stretching. Both began a beginner's firebending kata, allowing the familiar movements to guide their waking muscles.

Ying approached closer than her sister warriors who sat on the bottom step, feet in the sand. She caught Ty Lee's eye and smiled. Ty Lee walked closer and bumped her fist against Ying's shoulder companionably. Azula blew her bangs out of her eyes. Her bare feet impacted into the hot sand as she moved, foot flashing out in a kick.

Ying started when Azula exhaled a slow plume of steam that built to a lazy stream of fire. "No fire, Azula!" she warned.

Ty Lee turned, flashing her eyes to Azula's questioningly. Azula let her chi relax and she poised her palms down her sides, coiling her power. "Just a way to wake up. Relax," she said.

Ty Lee moved toward Azula, calming her, and she raised her fists by her head, left leg forward in a stance. "Have you tried the firebending forms, Ying? It's a pretty good work out, even without the fire."

Like all the Kyoshi Warriors, Ying was a nonbender. She shook her head. "We never got to study it up close. Can I?" She asked.

Azula gave a perfunctory nod and allowed Ying to move beside Ty Lee. The three moved in a line of kicks, spins and punches, Ying a half beat behind as she copied them. Ty Lee felt a bead of sweat form along her spine. In a half beat of each other, she and Azula stripped their silk robes, their half covered bodies moving under the hot sun.

Beads of sweat poured down the sides of Ying's face and neck, slightly streaking her make-up. Ty Lee pitied her sister warrior. They finished the kata and Ty Lee bowed opposite Azula. Ying noted that Ty Lee's bow was lower, given Azula's status, but the Princess still showed a slight bow, indicating respect. She was glad to see it when she saw the fire in Ty Lee's wide smile.

Azula crossed her arms as she stood on the beach. She watched the surf crashing onto the wet sand and recede and likewise, her thoughts smoothed to stillness. Ty Lee came alongside her and took her hand, staring out at the horizon. They could hear far off cries of beachgoers at the public beach around the bend, but for the moment they were alone.

Azula's thoughts were languid, relaxing for a moment. Her usual manic thoughts were drawn close to stillness. Ty Lee's mind moved over Azula's warmth, her fingers tight in hers. She also thought back over the past few days. Would she take kajihana this time? Would Azula want a child if she had conceived? Privately, the thought scared yet thrilled Ty Lee. Politically, she wondered what Zuko would do about a child born to his sister. Make it his heir? Or keep it a few statuses below his own children?

Ty Lee pressed her cheek against Azula's bare shoulder. She heard Ying shuffling through the sand further down the beach to gaze out at the water herself.

"Azula….. there's something I want to ask you," Ty Lee said softly, thoughts settling on something else. Something that could help Azula heal in the long run.

"What is it?" Azula asked. Her arm circled Ty Lee's waist. The sun beat down hot against them.

"With your mother at the capital…..well, she wants to see you again. You do know she's there, don't you?" Ty Lee asked. Azula stiffened, fingers loose against her hip. Ty Lee had to ask, even though she was certain Azula knew her mother's whereabouts. She had arranged her half-sister's kidnapping after all.

"I know where she is," Azula muttered. She pushed her bangs out of her eyes with two fingers.

"Well, don't you want to see her again? Properly?" Ty Lee pressed gently. Azula let her go and stalked a few steps away into the surf. The water cascaded against her shins and drew back.

"I don't know!" Azula threw her hands up when Ty Lee padded closer to touch her. "Don't ask me, Ty Lee. I just don't know right now!"

Ty Lee swallowed, sadness in her eyes. She didn't fear Azula attacking her; her every inflection indicated she was upset, but she kept her hands to herself. She padded closer and wrapped her arms around Azula's waist.

"Okay…. Okay, that's good for right now," Ty Lee soothed. She rubbed circles over Azula's sides, head tucked against her shoulder. Azula's hands shook, and Ty Lee covered them with hers. She squeezed gently. "It's okay, Azula… I'm here for you."

Azula wrapped her arms tightly around Ty Lee, burying her face into her shoulder. "I know….thank you."

Ty Lee wrapped her arms up around her neck, holding her against her. "I'll always be here for you. That's a promise."

When she drew her face back, Ty Lee was relieved to see a shy smile on Azula's face despite the angry tears dotting the corners of her golden eyes.

"The man playing Fire Lord Ozai looked ridiculous," Ty Lee giggled. Azula laughed sharply. They let themselves into the front hall of the twin's house, greeting the advisors who sat on their balcony, sipping tea. Two guards behind shut the front door behind them and resumed their positions outside. They had flagged the girls to the theatre, and had watched from the box seats with them. Azula liked that they were so far from the crowd below, but the soldiers threatened to spoil her mood. Ty Lee's giggles throughout the play soothed her however. So was the soft hand on her thigh.

"How was the play?" Ying asked. She and the Kyoshi Warriors were sitting around the front room, sipping at cups of tea left out by the twins. Ty Lee grinned at her as they kicked their sandals off.

"The Ember Island Players can always be counted on for a laugh," Azula drawled. "They just don't do drama well."

"And their picks for the royal family are always ludicrous," Ty Lee giggled.

"Sake?" one of the Kyoshi warriors asked. She held up a bottle. Ying smacked her hand. Azula almost smiled pleasantly at the girls in green robes.

"Nice of you to offer," she said and accepted a cup from Ying. The girls all shared a cup before Ty Lee gently excused them to the guest room.

The lanterns were lit and the room was awash in a soft glow. Ty Lee unwrapped her red shawl, revealing her smaller top beneath. Azula's eyes lit up at her. They paused a step opposite each other and as one, moved closer for a kiss. The moment was soft and warm and Ty Lee angled her chin up, opening her mouth for Azula's tongue. They sank onto one of the beds, slowly undressing each other.

The kiss became heated and Azula rolled on top, spreading Ty Lee's thighs. Her clit stiffened rapidly and she rubbed her cock against Ty Lee's opening, feeling wetness coat the underside of her shaft. She groaned and started to sink the head in. Ty Lee's next question made her hips freeze in place.

"About before…..are you going to see your mother?" Ty Lee asked. Azula blinked, face petulant. Ty Lee was beautiful, naked and open for her. But those were not the words to use as a precursor to sex.

Azula groaned and leaned on her elbow, stopping her movements. "That's not something you ask before I put myself inside you." She couldn't keep the sharp edge from her bitter words. Her shaft throbbed between them.

"I'm sorry, I just…." Ty Lee took one of Azula's hands and sucked two fingers into her mouth. Azula watched, cock throbbing in time with the soft tugging at her fingers. "She's at the palace. You can't avoid seeing her forever."

Azula pulled back, her head pulling out of Ty Lee's wet folds with a firm tug. She flopped onto her back, shielding her eyes with a forearm. "I don't want to think about that during sex, Ty Lee. That was kind of rotten timing."

Ty Lee gave a pretty frown, her thighs pressing together. She was shivering and dripping wet and the sudden withdrawal made her ache. But Azula clearly needed some encouragement. Her cock was flagging, threatening to withdraw entirely. Ty Lee hurriedly rolled over and settled her hands on either side of Azula's hips. The Princess pulled her arm back to look down with some surprise on her face.

Ty Lee gave her a lascivious wink and bent down. Azula sighed at the soft kiss placed along the head of her cock. Her shaft throbbed, thickening back to full size when her mouth opened and she leaned down. A good inch was pulled into Ty Lee's mouth and she began a back and forth motion, drawing a bit more of the pale cock in with each pass. Azula relaxed, left leg crooking at the knee as she watched Ty Lee working her erection. She uttered low moans, liking the sight of Ty Lee's lips around her engorged cock. And her delightful wet mouth felt so good as she took in her length.

"Fuck," Azula muttered. She traced her fingers over the back of Ty Lee's neck, fingers sifting through loose brown hair. She cupped her hand around her neck, delighting in the shudder than ran down her length as Ty Lee bobbed down on her. "Shit, that feels so good…"

Emboldened, Ty Lee gripped one slender hip with her left hand, her right cupping below the thick cock. She squeezed. Azula's hips lifted of their own accord off the mattress, as Ty Lee all but coaxed a knot to form. "Fuck!"

Ty Lee brought her mouth off and lavished her tongue up the side of the head. "Not yet, but hold that thought, Azu…."

Azula gaped down at her, cock twitching and she threw her head back and gave a sudden gasp when Ty Lee bent down, engulfing her whole. She lasted a few more minutes until she clutched the back of Ty Lee's head, not quite trapping her, but wordlessly letting her know her need to come. Ty Lee didn't disappoint, bobbing down further on her length, sucking hard on each up pass. Azula came suddenly, half sitting up as she ejaculated harshly. Her gasps echoed off the walls of the guest room.

Ty Lee made small coaxing moans as she brought her mouth back up to Azula's tip and took in the first few spurts. She drank in the mouthful and wiped her lips with the back of her hand. Her left hand languidly pumped the rest of Azula's orgasm out. Small spurts gleamed onto the sheets and against her breasts. Azula sagged back, gasping harshly.

"You made a mess of me," Ty Lee pouted. She wiped her breasts with a corner of the sheets. Azula gave a devilish grin and sat upright. Her cock bobbed back up, knot prevalent.

"You say that now, but I haven't gotten into you yet…" Azula growled. Ty Lee rolled onto her side, thighs pressed neatly together. She draped her hand against the pout of her belly and raised an eyebrow.

"Come here…" Ty Lee purred. Azula didn't need any coaxing. She pushed Ty Lee onto her back and ran a hand down her belly, parting her thighs easily. Ty Lee spread her knees, smiling widely in anticipation. She cried out when Azula pushed herself inside. Her knees pressed on either side of Azula's soft hips. Azula's lips flashed in a grin as she thrust her hips, watching Ty Lee's head tilt back. A low cry was pulled from her throat.

"I thought her heat was over," one of the soldiers complained. He and the other Fire Nation soldiers lounged around the front steps of the beach house looking bored, but they were also on edge. By hearing the sounds of passion, they knew their target wasn't looking for an escape or way to make their job difficult. But the current situation of sleeping outside weighed on them. They had set a tent up at the bottom of the front steps, and took turns using Lo and Li's own washroom to use the facilities, but overall it was rough going for what seemed to be a cushy assignment. At least the three Kyoshi Warriors got accommodations inside, whether it was on the hall floor or not.

"It is, I think. I wonder when Lord Zuko will let us go back home," Another soldier griped. He missed his wife and children and hearing the Princess' lusty activities was annoying.

"I think we're due for a few more days," another soldier complained. He took his helmet off and ran a hand through his bangs. "It's so hot here!"

The other soldiers nodded, men and women alike. The sun was setting but the air was still humid and sticky. They were tired of wearing their hot armor and tunics, and wanted to dress down like everyone else who got a stay at Ember Island.

"Well, we have to keep sharp. Azula had some comrades out on the run. Who knows if she's working with them still." Another soldier put in.

"Don't remind me," One of the women soldiers complained. She ran a hand through her loose bangs, helmet under one arm. "At least it's been quiet so far."

"You're joking, right?" One of the men gestured with one palm toward the front door. Soft sounds of passion could be heard down the front hall. Whether it was the Kyoshi Warriors or the Princess and her omega was another matter. The Princess' familiar calls of triumph told them which to settle the matter. "It's been anything BUT quiet."

"Calm down, Kenyu. It's just a couple more days or so," the woman frowned. Kenyu huffed and crossed his arms.

"I'll take first watch," he offered. "You should all try and get some rest."

As the soldiers took up position or moved down the stairs toward the large tent, movement sounded at the back dining room. Lo and Li drank cups of sake with the Kyoshi Warriors, enjoying seeing the three girls finally all but relax.

"Ember Island helps one to relax," Lo said.

"The most jagged edges can be smoothed," Li added.

"The moon watches all finally at rest," they finished. Ying gave a smile as she sipped her sake. She was glad her fellow sisters were finally easing up. It did make the job of watching the guest room door all the better.

End for now

End notes: More time at the beach and, cough cough, elsewhere. Shameless smut. Like it, drop a review! Only takes a few moments :P

Most sincerely, pen
