This is a mature romance between Hakoda, Bato and my beautiful mystery OC. It's rated M for adult
language, violence, scenes that get a little naked, and a little bit of sex every now and then. There's a
dash of adventure in there, too. I am late-comer to the series but I thoroughly enjoyed it! I don't own
any of the characters from Avatar, the Last Airbender; they are property of Mike, Bryan, and

Chapter 8- Who's Your Daddy? pt.3
"Chief Hakoda?"
Hakoda looked up from marking Fire Nation colonies on an Earth Kingdom map. For weeks, he and his sailors had been masquerading as Fire Nation soldiers, carousing in pubs and drinking with the soldiers. After weeks of firewater and spicy-sweet chicken, the sailors had learned nothing.
"Yes, Kamik?" Hakoda replied gently. Kamik was only seventeen years old and was painfully shy in front of authority. He nervously rubbed the hilt of his whalebone sword.
"Bato was asking if you wanted him to lead the sailors in combat practice?" he asked. Hakoda rubbed the back of his neck that was kinking from his posture.
Hakoda, as handsome as the day he married Kya, nodded. "Yes, tell him to proceed." Kamik bowed, and quickly left the chief's tent. Kamik's eagerness reminded Hakoda so much of Sokka. Hakoda smiled, but then became sullen.
Sokka...where is that boy?
Fox, dressed in her ninja bodysuit and face mask, had checked every passing tree for a marking, and every blade of grass for a stone. Her long ponytail trailed behind her like a graceful black ribbon. Sokka had left no footprints, no scent, nothing. Fox sighed and shook her head.
Sokka...where is that boy?
Her arms were sore from climbing trees and swinging from branches like a spider-monkey.
Her ears perked to the sound of rustling behind a flowering bush. She readied her stance. A baby moose-lion appeared from behind the bush with an apple in its mouth. Fox held her breath and waited for the momma moose-lion to make her grand entrance. She reached behind her back and pulled out her katanas. The cub set the apple down, squeaked up at her and sat on its hind legs. Fox looked behind her and saw nothing. She breathed a sigh of relief and replaced her katanas.
"Aww, you're too cute," Fox cooed as she knelt down to rub its head. The cub wagged its tail and squeaked at her again. She smiled adoringly.
"Too bad you don't know where my friend is," she replied as stood back up. The moose-lion squeaked a third time and picked up the apple with it's teeth. It turned around and looked back at Fox, eagerly wagging it's tail.
"Wow, you act just like Momo," the pretty ninja jested. "Okay, you lead, I'll follow,"
The clumsy little cub lead Fox through the rest of the forest, until they came upon a very rocky area.
Moose-lion junior scurried over to a figure trapped in the solid, jagged earth. Whoever it was, was hollering and ranting, crying for help and cursing life at the same time. The cute little cub ran up to the victim and offered them the apple.
"Thanks, Fu Fu Cuddly Poops, but that's not exactly meat!"
"Sokka?"
Sure enough, poor shirtless Sokka was stuck in a crevice. Sokka smiled brightly when he saw his savior.
"Fox! Thank the Spirits you're here!" he cried in relief. "My skin is scraped to the moon, and my man parts are squished!"
"Wow, Sokka," said Fox, "Man parts?" She joked as she approached her detained friend. "How'd you manage this?"
"I saw Fu Fu Cuddly Poops and wanted some meat," he stated. "And that's the jist of it." Fu Fu was licking Sokka in the face causing him to chuckle between words.
"As if the platypus bear egg wasn't enough?" she crowed, waving her arms wildly in the air.. "Jeez, nothing satisfies you, Sokka! You're so impatient."
"Fox? Ummmm...?"
"Hold your britches, wolf boy," she retorted. Fox stomped on the ground, using her water-bending to erode the rocks surrounding him. Sokka's rocky prison softened and transformed into mud. He quickly pulled himself out. Unfortunately, he was covered in grime from chest to feet. Fu Fu scurried over to Fox, wagging its tail vigorously.
"Isn't he cute?" Sokka bubbled. "He kept me company the whole time that I was stuck." Fox bent down and gathered the cub in her arms. She gave it a kiss on its head.
"Thanks, Fu Fu," she said thankfully. "Sorry I underestimated you." Fu Fu licked her face as if to accept the apology. Fox grinned.
"And you were seriously going to eat this little cutie?"
"Well that, and I came out here hoping I'd find my dad," he explained. "The sailors usually make a pit stop wherever there is fresh drinking water, they can't drink the ocean."
"Yeah they can. All they have to do is boil the water and let the salt evaporate from it," Fox stated. "But I guess they wouldn't want fire on their ships, huh?" She handed Fu Fu to Sokka. Sokka cuddled the funny-looking, but precious creature.
"I dreamed last night that he and his soldiers were ambushed by the Fire Navy," he said with a lick of his lips. "I didn't tell Katara because I didn't want her to worry."
"I hope your dream isn't true, Sokka. I got your back,regardless." she said earnestly, squeezing his muddy shoulder. Sokka's blue eyes sparkled.
"Fox, does that mean you'll help me?"
"I don't understand why you have to jump from the trees while you can just walk!" Sokka fussed up at Fox. His hair was still in it's morning mess,and his body was painted in earth and clay. He had reluctantly let Fu Fu return to the forest to find its mother.
"Are you lonely, Sokka?" Fox teased as she jumped from one tree to another. "You don't seem to mind when Aang hang glides everywhere!"
"Well, that's different!" said Sokka. "That's his element, and you could have been nice enough to water-bend this mud off of me!"
"You'll be okay!" she joked as she landed onto another branch. "I can see danger way before you will. I told you I have your back. Just trust me! "
"I'm going to go scout the rest of this area, just for security purposes. I want to make sure that there are no Fire Nation vessels hidden anywhere," said Hakoda to Bato. Bato nodded as he observed the sailors practice their formations.
"Be careful, brother," said Bato. Usually, he would have escorted Hakoda, but Bato knew that his friend had other things pressing on his mind.
"Thank you, I will," Hakoda replied, adjusting the Fire Commander's helmet. "I should be back before nightfall."
From her perch at the top branch of sakura tree, she spied the colors red, back and gold...coming towards Sokka who was half-dressed and unarmed.
The kunoichi dropped from her high pedestal like a blossom from the tree with her twin blades gleaming from the rays of the afternoon sun.
Sokka saw the glare from her swords and shielded his face with his hand...
The Fire Commander felt a hard blow to his trapezius. The pain so bold that it forced him to his knees. His assailant flipped over him and managed to kick him in his stomach.
Kicking man while he's down is never honorable...
"Stay down!" the voice commanded, but it was not the voice that he expected. This voice was soft, yet commanding.
The Commander struggled to his feet. His eyes were greeted by flowing curves holding two swords in a perfect stance. Dressed in all black, with only the eyes visible.
Sokka peeked from his hiding place behind a tree. The Fire Commander had not seen him, thankfully.
The kunoichi took a slice at the commander's head, which he ducked. With the side of his foot, he managed to kick her in the back of her knee. For a moment, she stumbled, but switched into a roundhouse kick and knocked him back to the ground.
"Stay down!" she repeated. "Don't resist!"
Where had he heard that voice?
The Commander returned to his feet and lunged at the female ninja. With a quick elbow, she caught him in the face, and with her other, a punch to the ribs. Once again, he was floored, and his helmet fell from his face.
Sokka covered his mouth to keep from cheering. Fox was whopping ass!
The ninja looked down at her unarmed opponent. She admired his tenacity. She wondered why he hadn't fire-bended..but no matter.
"Is that all you got?"
The Commander sat up and and licked his lips, tasting the blood from her blow. Enraged, he staggered to his feet, ignoring the pain in his ribs and upper back. His blue eyes pierced through her violet ones.
He bluffed her...he dropped back down the ground and grabbed her by the ankle, pulling her foot from underneath her. The kunoichi's body fell backward onto the hard earth while her blades went flying out of her hands. A numbing pain shot from her back to her neck. She felt strong hands climbing up her shins, thighs, and stomach. She tried to fight back, but the weight of her opponent was greater than she realized.
A strange jolt of energy transferred between their bodies...it was almost arousing...
The Commander gripped her pretty, brown neck. The ninja grabbed his wrists and started to bend his blood. Her attacker's body began to contort, his handsome face was tortured in pain.
"Don't resist!"
Sokka made a realization...a rather late one...
"Dad! Stop!"
"Sokka? My son?"
"Son?"
"Dad!" Sokka had revealed his muddy self from behind the tree. Tears of happiness and pain brimmed from his blue eyes.
"Dad?"
"Son!"
Fox released her grip on Hakoda's wrists. His wayward body was under his own control. Hakoda locked angry, blue eyes with his masked opponent. Without a word, he released her neck and ran towards his son.
Fox's eyes were watery from lack of oxygen. She started coughing, her body begging for air.
How embarrassing...
An error in judgment and a clever disguise had put her on her ass.
Sokka's muddy arms were tight around his father's waist despite the thickness of the uniform. His tears fell like raindrops.
"Dad, I've finally found you," Sokka whispered. Hakoda kissed his son on top of his head and hugged him even tighter.
Father and son were reunited...even though the circumstances were unkind.
"How are you, Sokka? How's your sister?" Hakoda asked. "I've missed you both so much."
"Katara's growing up, dad; she's beautiful," Sokka began. "Fox has been guiding her." Hakoda's body stiffened.
"Fox?" he asked. "Who is Fox?"
"She's the ninja you just tried to choke out," Sokka answered with a chuckle. "Ironic, isn't it?"
Hakoda looked behind him and watched the curvy ninja sit up and then stand to her feet. Her long ponytail was covered in dust, leaves, blossoms and grass. Fox retrieved her katanas from the ground, and sheathed them. She caught Hakoda staring at her in bewilderment.
"Hey there!" she chimed as if a fight hadn't preceded. "Nice uniform!"
Awkward...
Hakoda looked down at his son with a confused face. Sokka smiled sheepishly.
"It's a long story, dad."
Sokka broke from his dad's embrace and ran over to see about his guardian. Fox was dusting grass and clay from her suit. One of her sleeves had been torn in the scuffle.
"Fox,you okay?" Sokka asked in concern as he hugged her around her waist. Fox chuckled weakly and mussed his hair.
Hakoda noticed at the manner in which Sokka interacted with the strange, concealed woman. His son was sincerely fond of her.
Just like he had been with Kya... just like he was with Katara. Loving and protective.
"That was so bittersweet," she joked. "Of course I'm okay, just a little humiliated."
'Well, in that case.." Sokka grabbed her by the hand and led her over to his father.
Finally...
"Fox, this is my dad, Chief Hakoda of the Southern Water Tribe. Dad, this is Fox, Katara's absolutely gorgeous sifu." Fox had to stifle a laugh. She knew Sokka was trying his best to lighten the mood.
Fox gave Hakoda a warrior's handshake. Her cool hand brushed softly, then squeezed his hard bicep. Hakoda felt a strong energy flow from her hand and shoot through his forearm.
"It's nice to meet you," he offered, not quite knowing whether to be pissed or impressed. It wasn't normal for a Water Tribe Warrior to be attacked by a woman...any woman. Unless he was caught in infidelity and got bopped on the head with a cooking pot.
"Likewise," she returned, through her covered lips. Chief Hakoda was the most beautiful man she had ever seen with a voice so soothing and masculine. Damn that Water Tribe charm.
"You're lip is bleeding, Chief Hakoda," she stated flatly. Hakoda licked his bottom lip and tasted his own blood. Something very uncommon to him.
"Apparently so," he answered sternly, squeezing her bicep. Her scent of ocean blossoms stirred his memory. She raised a highly arched eyebrow.
"Don't resist," she replied before pulling down her mask, quickly leaning in, and claiming Hakoda's lips into a passionate kiss. Hakoda's ice cold gaze was broken by the softness of her lips. His eyes fell closed. He had felt these lips before. Caught in the moment, Fox let her tongue trace the cut on his bottom lip. The squeeze on her bicep became a gentle caress.
Sokka's jaw dropped. He clawed his fingers through the front of his hair in disbelief. The situation was ass backwards...Sokka face-palmed.
What the hell? That was not the plan...
Hakoda felt a cool tingle easing the sting of his busted lip. When it completely healed, Fox gently pulled her kiss away much to Hakoda's disappointment. She placed one of her slender fingers to his bottom lip. His eyes remained closed, savoring the moment.
"Better now?" she asked, quickly sliding her mask over her mouth. Hakoda opened his brilliant blue eyes and exhaled out of surprise and pleasure. He gently released her arm.
"I would say so," he replied, hating that she covered her face before he got a good look. "Thank you."
Fox bowed out of respect. "Anything for the father of Katara and Sokka," she added, stepping back from Hakoda.
"Really now?" the handsome chief asked. Sokka grinned and relaxed his shoulders. He touched his father on the arm.
"Dad, you've got to meet Aang, the Avatar and our friend Toph," Sokka said excitedly. Fox ran back over to the scene of the battle and lifted the Fire Army helmet from the ground. She politely dusted it off with her sleeve. Fox stared long and hard at it..reminiscing of her days with the Fire Nation.
"Hey Fox, you ready to go back? Katara's gonna be so surprised!" Sokka called from the distance. Hakoda locked eyes with Fox once more.
"Fox, we were so worried about you!" Katara screeched, half-loving, half-scolding. She threw her arms around Fox's neck and kissed her on her cheek. Fox returned Katara's gesture with a squeeze.
Toph was picking her feet with a twig, and Aang was drinking a cup of pomegranate tea that Katara had made.
"They were worried about you, Fox, but I kept telling them that you're a big girl and you can hold your own," Toph replied. "But Snoozles? Not so much!"
The pretty ninja laughed at Tophs remark. Aang just shrugged and continued his tea drinking.
" Fox, promise me,let me go with you next time," Katara begged. Fox rubbed Katara's back. She never realized how much she had affected the princess's life. The sentiment made her smile.
"I promise," Fox replied. "And I usually don't make those, Katara."
"Did you find Sokka?" asked Aang. Fox released her hold on Katara. Her expression was a blank one.
"Fox, what's wrong?" asked Katara. "Has something happened to my brother?" Fox said nothing, but stepped aside. Katara moved to Fox's right, gasped and broke into a mad dash. Aang levitated from his rock and stood beside Fox.
Aang watched as Katara ran over to Sokka and a tall man wearing a Fire Nation uniform. Katara leaped into the man's arms, almost knocking him over. The mystery man hugged Katara and rocked her back and forth.
Fox felt a bump on the back of her leg. "Hey Toph," she replied.
"I feel you're vibrations, you're so nervous, why?" asked Toph. "You're usually so composed."
"Fox, what's going on?" asked Aang. "Why are you crying?" Fox wiped away an ice tear. Truthfully, she was touched that Katara and Sokka had found their father after three years. On the flip-side, she longed for her own reunion with her father.
"The Royal Family of the Southern Water Tribe has been re-united," she said softly. Aang hugged the taller woman around her waist. Toph held Fox's free hand and squeezed it to indicate what she knew.
Just tell the truth, Fox..
Fox adoringly rubbed Aang's, tattooed head. Their love for Katara was the bond that sealed their friendship.
Katara kissed her father on both his cheeks and hugged him around his neck. A muddy Sokka slipped in their embrace for a family group hug. Their family had been separated for far too long.
"It kinda makes your heart want to jump out of your chest, doesn't it?" Aang asked. Fox pressed her covered lips together.
"Today, proved that I still have one," Fox thought aloud. Aang didn't quite understand what she meant, but Toph did.
"I need to go bathe," Fox added nonchalantly. "Chief Hakoda doesn't fight fair."
Fox lathered the White Lotus soap through her silky, ebony hair. Clay, leaves and grass changed the color from clean white to an earthy ochre. Chief Hakoda and the others were eating a meal of rice noodles, fish, and fresh vegetables.
"Katara, who taught you how to cook like this?" asked the older gentleman. "It's delicious."
Everyone was seated around the campfire on soft Earth-Kingdom blankets. Katara blushed at her father's approval of her newly-developed culinary skills.
"Fox taught me,Dad," she replied shyly. "Amongst other things."
"Yeah, Fox is awesome, Chief Hakoda!" said Toph. "She can make diamonds with her bare hands."
"How is that possible?" he asked the tiny earth titan. "You need heat..."
"Dad, we found some information about the Fire Nation that would be pertinent for and Invasion Plan," Sokka interjected.
"Really, how so?" asked the handsome chief. "We haven't been able to dig up anything about the Fire Nation's next move."
"I thought you'd never ask," said Sokka. Sokka walked over to his duffel bag and pulled out Fox's celestial skirt. Hakoda raised his eyebrow and looked at his daughter who was seated at his right.
Katara smiled knowingly.
"Dad, this is not just a regular old skirt," he explained on his return. Sokka aid the circular skirt flat onto the ground so his father could see. "This calendar explains that on the ninth day of the seventh month, there's a Solar Eclipse. The Fire Nation calls it 'Day of Black Sun'. The Fire-Benders are powerless for those few minutes. We can fight the Fire Army, and then Aang can defeat the Fire Lord."
Hakoda smiled proudly at his son. He had definitely grown from the little boy that he left three years prior. "Son, I'm proud of you," he said.
Sokka reached over and hugged Hakoda. Hakoda had closed his eyes to drink in the moment. When he opened them back up, Fox was standing in front of the campfire fresh from her bath wearing a purple breast binding and a pair of black swimming shorts. Her raven hair was parted in the center, and was slightly wavy from being wet.
"I guess Sokka's told you about the Solar Eclipse, Chief Hakoda?" she asked as she began preparing a bowl of food for herself. Sokka and his father broke their embrace. Hakoda was at a sudden loss for words.
"Are you the same young lady that I was just fighting with?" he asked, as she sat down on the blanket beside Toph. Fox nodded before taking noodles into her mouth.
"Fighting?" asked Katara. Sokka and her dad hadn't told her about that. "Dad, you and Fox were fighting? Why?"
"Well, sis, Fox thought that dad was a Fire Nation soldier," Sokka explained. "So naturally, she's going to protect me."
"An understandable mistake," said Fox. "I mean if I was attacked by a ninja, I'd defend myself, too."
Katara's face was drawn with shock.
"Dad, you hit a girl?" Katara asked incredulously. Hakoda blushed. "She attacked me first, Katara."
"I guess a handshake wasn't an option," Toph chimed in. "Would have loved to have seen that fight."
"It's okay, I mean, technically I lost...but not really! " Fox giggled and looked at Sokka. His smile was smug.
"I still need to teach you how to think like a warrior. Leave your emotions, and fight with your instincts, Water Lily!"
"I guess I'd never imagine my dad fighting a female," Katara piped and narrowed her eyes at her father.
"Get off his nuts, Katara, he wasn't fighting a female, he was fighting a ninja! Weren't you , Chief Hakoda?" Fox licked broth from her lips. "Trust me, I'd rather lose to him than a real Fire Nation soldier any day!"
Hakoda was taken aback at her vernacular."It just didn't process," he stated. "But it's definitely evident now." Hakoda gave his former opponent the once-over. Her eyes, her skin, her powerful, but sensual body all seemed so familiar.
Could it be?
"Fox, Have we met before?" he blurted Katara and Sokka exchanged glances.
How was that possible? .
"Maybe passing through the Earth Kingdom?" she asked, with a coy smile. "I've traveled through it quite a bit."
"Maybe you've seen her dance," said Toph. "I can't see her, but from what I feel she puts on quite a show."
Hakoda's memory was sparked. His gaze raked all over Fox's body..her arms, stomach and legs..and he had never seen anyone else with violet eyes and skin that dark.
It had to be.
"Or maybe I've mistaken you for another beautiful woman," he retracted. He needed confirmation from Bato. He'd definitely know for sure.
Fox ran her tongue along her teeth out of habit. "Anything is possible, Chief, and thank you for such a kind compliment."
"Katara, Sokka, I must be getting back," said Hakoda sadly. "I promised Bato that I would return before nightfall, and the sun is setting." They had spent the rest of the afternoon listening to Hakoda's adventures of the last three years. Sokka would throw into fits of laughter at his father's horrible jokes.
"It was nice meeting you, Chief Hakoda," said Aang, bowing. Hakoda returned the gesture."Likewise, Avatar Aang."
"Yeah!" Toph agreed. "You and Snoozles have the same sense of humor." Katara face-palmed. Her father and brother were two of the corniest warriors she had ever met.
"Sokka, I want all of you to come to the warrior's camp tomorrow," said Chief Hakoda. 'I want them to hear about your Invasion Plan." Fox handed him the Fire Nation helmet that he had lost in their fight.
"You don't want to keep this as a souvenir?" he teased, pacing his hand over hers. Fox smiled to cover her nervousness. His smile could melt glaciers. Her pulse quickened.
"I already have one," she winked. "Try to figure that one out." Hakoda was puzzled, but was enchanted by her confidence.
"And I'll give you my answer, tomorrow," he responded with a devilish grin. Katara and Sokka gave their father a final hug before leaving their campsite. Once he was out of earshot, Katara turned and looked at Fox.
"You've got some explaining to do, young lady," she scolded at Fox. Fox grinned like an impish child.
"You kissed my dad?"
Fox pushed back wayward strands of hair out of her face. Katara had been nagging her since Hakoda had left their campsite. The night air was cool, so she wrapped herself in a burgundy and pale green blanket. Katara was not going to let her sleep until she gave up the dirt.
"It wasn't like that, Katara. When he and I were fighting, I elbowed him, and his lip got busted. So I healed him," she replied haggardly. "Now go to sleep."
"You did tell me that you can heal people with kisses," Katara replied. "But I'm sure some part of you liked it."
All parts of me liked it. Are you daffy?
"No, Fox , tell me how it was..I mean, do you like my dad?" Fox looked into Katara's pretty blue eyes. She nipped her protege's nose with two fingers. Katara had become quite comfortable with Fox, so cuddled against her like a child to it's mother. Fox combed through Katara's thick mass of dark brown hair.
"Your dad is incredibly handsome," she admitted. "I have seen some gorgeous men whether fire-benders, earth-benders or just plain ol' non-benders. He's strong-willed and clever, but he also has a heart and he seems very intelligent."
"You didn't answer the question, Fox," Katara yawned. "Did. You. Like. Kissing. My. Dad?"
"The heck..?" Fox laughed aloud. "Are you serious?"
"Ummm..yeah?" Katara answered with a new sarcasm. Fox had been rubbing off on her.
"Yep, I thoroughly enjoyed it."
"I knew it..you're blushing!" Katara gently poked Fox in her cheek. Fox grabbed Katara's finger.
"I don't blush, I'm too dark !" she insisted as Katara slipped her finger from her friend's grasp.
"Ugh, Katara, you're such a girl, sometimes!"
Fox couldn't sleep so she decided to go for a swim. Carefully, she crept out of the tent she shared with Katara and walked to the waterfall pond. Sensing that no one was around, she began stripping off her undergarments.
"Sorry, Yue," she replied to the luminous full moon. "I know how you Northern Tribe folks are about modesty...but I really don't care! " she sneered as she stepped into the pond, loving the caress of her element against her skin.
Hakoda's smell, touch, and taste had made her body temperature rise. The mere talk of him turned her insides mushy. Fox closed her eyes and splashed the cool, clear water onto her face.
"Is this a private pond, or may I join you?"
Really, now ?
Fox boldly turned around and discovered Hakoda staring at her with hunger in his gorgeous blue eyes. The chief was shirtless, wearing only a pair of black pants, boots and his Water Tribe jewelry. Fox smoothed her wet hair from her face, giving him full view of what he painfully desired.
"It's not a question of 'may' it's a question of 'will'," she responded. "And if you have it."
Her confidence was intimidating, but refreshing. Hakoda raised his eyebrow and grinned. He sat down on the grass and began taking off his boots.
"You wanna make this pond into a hot spring, Chief Hakoda?" she teased, crossing her arms over her chest. Her eager, violet eyes sparkled.
"Don't threaten me with a good time," Hakoda warned playfully as he began disrobing in front of her, taking his time, allowing her to see what she was afraid of wanting. Fox's gaze trailed from his eyes, to his chest, to his abdomen and grew wide at the reveal of his "Water Tribe Charm." Hakoda threw his pants to the side.
Spirits! The man was beautiful.
"You can perceive it any way that you wish," she replied slowly in order to regain her composure. Hakoda's flirtatious smile only added fuel to the fire inside her loins.
By the Spirits...
"You see something you like, Fox?" he taunted as he stretched his arms over his head.
"I could ask you the same thing," she cooed, turning around so he couldn't see her blush. On the other hand, her behind was her moneymaker as far as dancing was concerned.
Hakoda had to adjust himself from the sight of her high, rounded gluteus. Fox was not playing fair.
Game on.
Fox was casually wringing water from her hair when a pair of muscular arms pulled her from behind into a strong embrace. Hakoda inhaled her natural scent of ocean blossoms, and rested his chin on her shoulder. He hadn't shared such an intimate moment with a woman in so long.
"What's with you always attacking from behind?" Fox joked as she turned her body to face him, wrapping her arms gracefully around his neck. His charm was hard pressed against her thigh."What's with you and Sokka and these sneak attacks?"
Hakoda chuckled. "So you do have a sense of humor underneath that mask," he declared. "And the most beautiful lips I have ever seen."
"Chief Hakoda, are you flirting with me?" Hakoda's eyes gave a silent 'yes'.
He answered her with a frenzied kiss. His hands traveled down her slick, wet body and kneaded her round behind. He managed to trick her mouth into letting his tongue enter which caused a low growl to erupt from her. Fox's lips were soft and soothing, her slender hands gripped his muscular arms.
She liked kissing Katara's dad...a lot.
Hakoda nibbled on her full, lower lip in transition to break their lips' embrace. He kissed Fox on the forehead, nose and cheeks. She had never experienced such affection. He traced her bottom lip with his thumb.
"What was that for?" she asked softly, stroking his arms. "Not that I'm complaining."
"That was my way of saying 'thank you'," he replied before kissing her ever so tenderly, making her putty in his hands. Hakoda held her body very close, close enough to feel her heart beating wildly. He could feel himself becoming stiff. He wanted to take her right there, in the pond under the beams of Yue...
Not yet, Hakoda...
Hakoda eased his lips away once again. Fox pouted like a spoiled child. Hakoda gave her a quick peck on her lips.
"What are you thanking me for?" she asked with an innocent smile. Hakoda stroked her cheek with a long, callused finger. "Thank you for loving my children."
Katara felt Fox stirring in her sleep. She rolled over and gently shook her.
"Fox! Fox wake up!"
"Huh?" she asked, catching her breath. Her violet eyes flew open. She was greeted by Katara's worried stare. Instinctively, she sat up and reached for her sword.
"No, Fox we're not being attacked," said Katara. "You were having a crazy dream."
Fox rubbed her eyes. "Was I saying anything?"
"No, but you kept trying to kiss me," said Katara. "I guess you were dreaming about my dad."
"Nope, sure wasn't," Fox lied as she laid back down on her pillow. "Good night!" Fox turned her back to Katara. Katara smiled wickedly.
