24

Asami woke the next morning feeling the beating of Korra's heart on her back. The warmth from Korra's naked skin was seeping into her body, her arms slid over the slim part of Asami's waist. Korra's breath blew softly against her neck, the smell of their love making still surrounded her. It had certainly been an experience, Asami didn't know that it could feel so good, that being so close with another person could make her feel so whole. Asami snuggled deeper into Korra's arms, sighing as Korra's grip tightened.

"Goodmorning Sunshine." Korra whispered in her ear as she lightly placed kisses along the back of Asami's neck. Asami shivered at the feeling and smiled with a long moan.

"Goodmorning to you Starlight." Asami said back as she twisted around to face Korra. Korra smirked and kissed Asami passionately before pulling away with a groan.

"Sooooo." Korra said awkwardly as she pulled Asami closer. Asami snuggled into the other girls arms with a sigh.

"I liked it too." Asami said as she nuzzled her nose in Korra's neck. Korra sighed and pulled back and gave Asami another kiss.

"Good I was a little nervous you know, never done anything quiet like that before." She said softly laying kisses across Asami's jaw. Asami moaned and lifted her head so Korra had more room, then she wrapped her around Korra's neck as Korra pushed her onto her back.

"You could have fooled me Starshooter." Asami groaned out as Korra's mouth trailed fire across her skin. Korra growled against her collar bone and Asami let out a soft sweet whimper at the feeling. Asami's slipped her arms under Korra's so she had her arms wrapped around Korra's waist, Korra mumbled her approval. As Korra's kisses became nips and light sucking which was slowly going down her neck and shoulders, Asami hands reached down and kneaded the shorter girls firm butt cheeks.

Asami was about to tell Korra something when the door burst open and Kya walked in. Korra quickly hid her face in Asami's neck, and Asami quickly grabbed the blanket and pulled it to cover them better. "Asami sweetheart I was…Wait I thought you and Korra?..." Kya trailed off as Korra turned to face to see the other woman, her cheeks a bright red color. "Right sorry guys I'll see you in a bit, I was coming to ask where Korra was but…yeah we need you both." Kya said awkwardly and then walked back out of the room.

Korra groaned and pushed her face into Asami's shoulder as Asami laughed. Her grip of Korra's ass loosened, but Korra didn't move. "I had hoped we could stay like here all of today, just you and me." Korra whispered softly as she pushed her face into Asami's hair. Asami smiled and lifted one hand and stroked Korra's hair.

"We'll have all the time in the world after we take Amon down." Asami said laying kisses across Korra's cheek. Korra lifted her head and looked at Asami as she leaned up on her arms.

"I don't want to wait till he's gone Asami. If something should happen I want to know that I spent all the time I could with you. I want to know every part of you, I want to lay in bed with you in my arms. I want to whisper in your ear and hold you against my chest as we sleep." Korra said she stroked Asami's cheek gently. Asami smiled and lifted a hand and placed it on Korra's cheek.

"How about the day after tomorrow then? We'll have an entire boat ride for you to hold me all you want. And trust me I won't protest being pampered in your arms at all. Pretty sure I'd like nothing more than to be in them for the rest of my life." Asami said the last part with a soft loving smile that had Korra's heart melting.

Korra leaned down and kissed Asami with a gentleness that blew her mind. They let the kiss linger for a moment to long and a knocking at the door and the sound of Kya clearing her throat let them know they still had things to do. "I love you Korra." Asami said softly as Korra shifted away and got up to get dressed. Korra didn't bother to cover up, there was no need.

This wasn't some blushing romance of friends who went to far and were bashful of the fact that they had been involved. Neither woman was concerned with whether they looked right. Korra understood she was different from Asami, her body was stockier, sturdier, and thicker with muscle. She was built to stand firm and fight, to be like a rock and unmovable.

Asami was thinner, taller, and more flexible. She was made to bend and move, to blow with the breeze but never break. There was no awkwardness about seeing each other naked, it was their difference that made them love one another, that included the difference in bodies. Asami loved the feeling of Korra's thick strong arms wrapped around her, it made her feel safe and loved. And Korra loved the feeling of Asami's soft nimble fingers stroking her hair back and lighting tracing patterns on her skin.

They dressed and walked out into the hallway to find Kya and Katara whispering, when the woman spotted Korra and Asami they threw on smiles and stop talking at once. Korra and Asami didn't ask, it wasn't their business. The day passed in an endless blurr of people coming up to Korra and asking for help. Asami of course was at her side lending a hand as much as she could, which often meant just offering a smile and comforting word.

Asami was able to help with other things, she helped some of the other earth moving Stars build up strong sturdy boats. She wasn't the very best, but the others were patient and gave her tips and hints so that pretty soon she had the hang of her new found abilities. As the day came to an end the girls came back to Katara's and Kya's and ate dinner with everyone, the day had dragged on and on; but everything was basically ready. Which meant tomorrow everyone would be resting up and saying their goodbyes.

Asami's head was lulling on Kya's shoulder as everyone sat outback and watched the sun cross over the horizon. Korra was holding her hand as she looked up into the heavens where the rest of the Stars were waiting for the night to truly settle in. "It's hard to believe that a war is coming when it's so peaceful like this." Korra said softly and Asami squeezed her hand lightly. Once the sun was fully set everyone troop inside to rest up.

The second they were in their room Asami pulled Korra to her in a passionate kiss. "Make love to me again." She whispered softly when they pulled apart, still wrapped in one another arms. Korra pulled her in for another kiss before slowly pushing her onto the bed to enjoy being together at least one more time before marching off to war.
