~Zutara Place Marathon~
03 - Study
By: MrJensen, alias Last Butterfly
He's sitting behind the huge wooden table, which the Fire Lords before him used just as he did now. The armchair he sat in was almost the most usual place he had to spend his time, while his thoughts always wandered to where he would have rather been…
His mind brought back the memories of the previous nights… red silk sheets, tan skin, wavy hair, blue eyes… small sounds and movements, strokes and embraces…
And he could hardly concentrate back to what he was doing. Taxes, charges, laws… He let out a grunt while scratching his head. And just when he was about to throw these all away, the door to his study halfway opened. First he saw those perfect blue orbs peeking at him, then her smile as an answer to his. His waterbending Fire Lady... "Katara…" He whispered as if she had only been a dream, and he wouldn't want it to go away.
But then she slowly stepped in the room, her hand keeping the thin robe around herself, and he only leaned back in his chair with a raised eyebrow as he heard the click of a key. When she turned back, there was a mischievous smile upon her lips as she walked towards him and he stood up from the chair, but stayed in his place while holding her gaze.
She cornered the table then stood before him by the time her hand let go. And now he could see that all she wore was a short nightgown under the robe, ocean blue just like her eyes, which he found especially hard to return his glance to. He swallowed as the thin robe slowly slipped off her shoulders while she leaned closer, letting their bodies fit together…
She blew one soft but chaste kiss upon his lips, but before his arms could wrap around her, she pulled away, leaning to his desk. "Surprise…" She whispered with a smile upon her face and for a moment he felt as the breath he let out made the air way too hot around him.
"If you had any idea…" He breathed the words while slowly – really slowly letting his hand reach to her slim waist, then her hips, while he let his lips curl into a half-smile. "How many times I have imagined you here… like this…"
Her legs encircled him from behind, just as her arms did too and for a moment he's just stunned how beautiful she was and how lucky he was… And then she purred in his scarred ear. "And now that I'm here… what will you do?"
A shiver ran down his spine as she let her lips conquer the sensitive skin of his scarred eye, and when she looked up at him she saw the longing in his eyes… those golden eyes she had fallen for in the first place.
Then he showed one of his smirks that always made her heart beat faster, because she knew she could not resist to it ever before. "I have some ideas..." He said leaning down, kissing her between her neck and shoulder… and she shuddered under his touch while he sucked at her collarbone.
Her hands trailed to his muscular chest, helping him get rid of his dark robes while their lips were sealed by the other, both trying to gain dominance… They always knew how to fuel the fire the other had inside. But this time…
It was not real.
The next moment there's a noise just before him, and Fire Lord Zuko jerked awake in his chair. He had to realize he was soundly asleep while leaning on his desk…
His shoulders slightly slumped and a really painful expression appeared on his face, just before looking up to see…
Fire Lady Katara. With exactly the same robe he imagined her in. She stood before his door while leaning to it with her back, and there's a small smile upon her lips. As she took a step forward, he could see that she held the key to the study in her hand… the noise he heard was the key clicking.
In just a blink of an eye his expressions changed completely… and his lips curled up into that same smirk she loved…
A/N: Mwuhaha, good dreams Zuzu? XD
