Authors Note: So today is the seventh day I've been writing these so I'm uploading Chapter 14 today too so it evens out to two stories a day. :) Thanks for reading these!

"Are you okay?"

She panted and swallowed hard. Opening her mouth to say something, she couldn't find a coherent thought so she just nodded and tried to control her breathing. Finally she HAD to say something. "Y-yeah I'm GREAT!"

"Seriously?" He said looking in her eyes to make sure.

"Yeah why!? Did you do it wrong? Because whatever you did was Fan-fucking-tastic and you should keep doing it wrong then!

He laughed and slid up nuzzle her nose and she smiled warmly at him.

"You know…" he said carefully, not wanting to ruin the moment. "… I wasn't bullshitting you when I said I love you. And you don't have to say it back! Don't rush there's honestly no hurry at all! I just wanted you to know. You deserve to know."

She smiled and kissed him sweetly on the lips, lingering in the warmth that was surrounding her now with him so close. And she realized, "Mako I've never felt so comfortable and so safe with someone in my entire life like I do when I'm with you. I know it hurts you that I can't say "love" right now; I can see it in your eyes as much as you try to hide it. But know that you are SO special to me and I do love you and Bolin and Asami like family. I also feel something more for you. Something much deeper and scarier so I'm terrified of saying it right now but know that it will probably come out sooner or later, just not now. I want it to be real and for me to mean it with my whole heart when I say it. Because I've never felt THIS way about anyone before and so I've obviously never loved anyone but my parents and Naga before." She was looking into his eyes and despite not being able to say it he was smiling and understanding.

"Sooo can I at least call you my girlfriend now or is it to soon for that?"

"Hey I already said I didnt feel like this for anyone else and apparently you love me so why the hell not?" She smiled.

"Good!" He kissed her gently at first and then pulled her bottom lip into his mouth with his teeth when she tried to laugh. Eventually he let it go and laughed too nuzzling her nose again against his.

He pulled back to roll over but froze looking down at her.

"What!?" She said looking at his frozen face.

He leaned down and kissed her stomach, sliding his face around the soft skin of her abdomen. "Your skin was so soft and smooth I might have lost control with the whole biting and sucking thing…" He said pausing and waiting for her to lean up and look down.

She gasped "There's red marks everywhere!"

"I know I'm so sorry! I told you I had no clue what I was doing! I didn't mean to hurt you or anything and I…"

"No no! It's fine they don't hurt at ALL! I kind of like them! You were doing the whole sexy animal instincts thing! They're kinda hot!"

He laughed "Really?"

"Yeah! It's fine! I'm just not going to be able to wear just my sports bra at the training center now. But it's not a big deal!"

He gave her a look and bit her side making her squeal and laugh. "THAT TICKLES! STOP!"

"Hey if I can't ogle you in your sports bra no one can! You seriously wear just a bra to work out in!? With all those guys that hang around there!"

She giggled. "I knew that'd get you! No stupid but lots of girls do. It's not that bad! Here look I'll show you." She tapped his shoulder to make him roll over so she could get up. She sat on the edge of the bed for a minute and stared at the floor.

"What?" He said this time.

She leaned down and picked up her underwear holding them up. She made eye contact with him with a small smirk on her face. He looked at her and then the underwear. They were torn and just a little bit singed at the elastic parts.

"Oh… remember when I said I lost control with the whole stomach thing? Well it might have been a little more than JUST that."

She laughed and kissed him then stood up to walk to her bag on the floor. He watched her naked body reach into her bag and pull out some underwear and something else.

"I'm going to grab a shower, I wasn't going to but considering what just happened I think I might need one now." She blushed and walked into the bathroom. Not bothering to close the door now since he'd seen everything.

"Okay." Mako said loud enough for her to here over the running water. He walked to the door and looked at her facing the mirror waiting for the water to warm up. "Mind if I brush my teeth while you're in there?"

"Nope" she said climbing in and closing the curtain. Once he couldn't see her anymore she let out a small nervous sigh. He'd seen her naked and she has seen… his chest and briefs… that's it. Why hadn't he got naked? What if he's not entirely impressed with her body? What if… no he hadn't looked away… in fact he'd been staring! But was it at the marks he made or her body? She let the warm water roll over her and the soap soak in while she thought. Outside the curtain she could hear him brushing his teeth and humming a song, every once in a while stopping to spit and then continuing. Now a little bit more self-conscious she waited until she couldn't hear him anymore to get out of the shower. She slipped on the clean underwear and the sports bra and combed through her hair. She convinced herself that her body was fine and smiled while walking out of the bathroom and jumping on the bed next to him.

His eyes widened a little when she walked out in a black sports bra and matching underwear, then jumped on the bed next to him. Her hair was down around her face and damp but not soaked.

"See." She said leaning back and letting him look at the bra. "It's like a half shirt, you wear it with pants!"

"Mhm." He said pretending to study the bra but then cupping her breasts still staring.

She laughed "You're not even looking at it Mako."

"I did! And then I got distracted…like…how am I supposed to concentrate on something that hides these beauties."

She giggled again. "You don't think there too small?"

"Do I… Do you see how perfectly then fit in my hands? They're perfect. Your whole body is absolutely perfect!"

She smiled and he slid his arms around her waist and pulled her down with him to snuggle.

"Thanks Mako" she smiled and the pulled back suddenly, looking at his face. "Mako! I didn't… you know…repay the favor! I forgot! I..I!"

"Don't worry about it! That was for you! Besides id already had my shower tonight and you needed some really good stress relief."

"Are you sure?" she said worried he was disappointed.

"Korra would you have even known what to do?"

"I have a general idea Mako it's not rocket science contrary the every boy's beliefs!"

He laughed. "I'm fine Korra honestly! Just stress relief." He smiled and she relaxed a little bit.

"Best stress relief ever!" she giggled and layed back on his shoulder, his arm wrapped around her.

He kissed her forehead and closed his eyes sleepily "mhm"

"Night Mako." Korra said just as sleepily next to him.

"Night babe." He said pulling her tighter against him.

They drifted off to sleep together then. Content and happy in each other's arms.
