*WARNING LEMON CHAPTER*
Azula walked into Mai's room, self-invited and plopped down next to her on the bed.
"What do you want?" Mai groaned.
"What kind of greeting is that. I have the best news for you."
"Whatever it is I don't want to hear it. I know what you have been up to."
"What do you mean?"
Mai answered with hard eyes and a closed mouth.
"Fine," She sighed, "I miss Ty Lee. She was so much more fun."
"Then why don't you go to her and get involved in her life? Oh, that's right she is no longer your friend and neither am I."
Azula frowned and crossed her arms as she sat up to look at the brooding girl. "I could have killed you and Ty Lee for your betrayal, and I should have."
"Ha, I'd like to see you try." With a wave of her hand, three red knives appeared in Mai's hand. They were sharp and ready to take Azula on anytime.
"My point is, I didn't. I forgave you both. Ty Lee was mesmerized by those painted girls and you were infatuated with my brother. I should have seen it coming."
"That's not the reso"–
"Anyway, the past is the past. I still see you both as friends even if you don't see me that way. I just want you happy."
"Is that why you had me come all the way here? You knew Zuko was arranged to be married!"
"Keyword arranged. I knew he didn't love the girl and even though you left him I knew you still loved him."
"Our relationship is none of your concern Azula."
Azula waved the notion away with her hand, "Please if it wasn't for Ty Lee and I you two wouldn't have a relationship. You were always so shy and Zuzu oblivious. I'm the making of what you both have and that is why I called you here. Zuko doesn't want some tribe girl, he wants you, Mai."
Mai couldn't say anything and Azula smiled knowing she had her.
Azula got up from the bed and walked to the door. Her job was done. "Just remember to look pretty for tonight."
"Why, for Zuko?"
"Eh, yeah I guess so, but for the guest. We have to show these outsiders our Fire Nation best." She smiled and closed the door.
Mai could see the smugness in Azula's eyes and it annoyed her. What Azula wanted was what she wanted and so she was giving it to her so easily. Mai swung her long legs over the side of the bed and walked to her private balcony. She remembered when the room official became hers.

"Zuko this is stupid."
"Just a minute."
Mai was standing with a blindfold over her eyes. She couldn't see but she could sense everything. There was a large object to her right and a few objects to her left against the wall. In front of her was a large soft light, maybe the moonlight. She could hear Zuko moving about and smell each candle he lit. Then he opened the large opening and the night air wrapped around her. Flowers, she questioned. The smell of flowers came immediately with the night air.
"Alright, you can take it off now."
She did as he said and saw all the things she sensed. A bed to her right, a dresser and dressing area to her left and before her a large balcony lit by the moonlight. "What is all of this? Who's room is this?"
"Your's, for when you come to visit. This room is officially yours."
"But I"–
"I know you don't like flowers, but the garden was my mother's favorite place and you and I have a lot of memories in it. Like our first kiss."
Mai could feel her pale cheeks burn red and a small shy smile graced her lips. "Thank you, Zuko." She walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I will never forget this night."
"I hope you wouldn't."
"Not only for this gift," she continued, "but because I want to make another first tonight as well."
Zuko was perplexed so Mai took a step back and removed the pins that held up her hair. Fluidly the black locks flowed down her back and the night breeze gently picked them up. She continued, removing the darker burgundy fabric that covered the lighter red fabric. As it fell to the floor Mai barely could look up at Zuko. She guessed he was standing there, red face, finally understanding what she meant. She had not realized that he had moved closer to her until his hand lifted her chin.
"Zuko..." His name was muffled with a kiss.
"I love you, Mai."
"I love you too Zuko."
They were so young, but she wanted this, she knew she wouldn't regret it. Zuko was the only guy she ever wanted. He was to the only guy she ever loved in this way.
Zuko took a step back and shyly she watched as he removed the long robes from his body. The moon shined on his bare skin making sure the dark did not conceal a thing. Mai's eyes traveled down the body of a boy, muscular, but not yet a man. She stopped on the area that was most different than a woman's and blushed harder at its size. Her hands were shaking badly while she reached to remove the last bit of cloth that covered her delicate skin.
"Here, let me."
Zuko's touch made her heart skip. He first slid the fabric off her shoulders and slowly down her arms. Gravity did the rest, pulling it around her slim hips and to the floor. He was already working on the bondage that held her breast. When the last bit of white strip uncovered her nipples she felt exposed. The cool night brushed over the small mounds hardening them before Zuko's eyes.
"Don't stare!"
Zuko ignored her and she could feel his eyes traveling up and down her slim figure. "You're beautiful."
Mai smiled and leaned in to kiss him. She could feel his fingers explore her waist and move up her ribcage until they cupped her small breast. His kisses trailed down to capture a nipple between his teeth. Mai covered her mouth, but the moan had escaped.
"Did I hurt you?"
She looked down seeing Zuko had stopped and was now looking up at her. "No, No." She looked away wanting to tell him to keep going, "It, felt good."
Zuko smiled and went back to work. She felt his tongue twirl and massage one side and then move to the other. "Wait," She gasped. Mai could feel something build inside her making hard to stand. "I want to please you too."
As Zuko stood up straight she reached her fingers around his member and began to stroke him. Her eyes looked into his watching his face contort from the pleasure. Mai then remembered something Ty Lee had shown her and Azula. It was an adult ink painting she had discovered hidden away at home. The man was laying back exposed and the woman had his cock in her mouth. He looked very happy. They were little girls then and Azula found it disgusting and subservient, while Ty Lee thought it interesting. Mai thought the woman must have loved the man to do something like that.
Looking at Zuko, she loved him. She kissed his lips the dropped down to her knees gracefully.
"What are you doing?"
She didn't answer. She didn't know how. I'm going to put your thing in my mouth. Surely this wasn't what ladies like herself did to men. That was what the whores were for, but she loved him.
Mai could smell the musk of his sex mixed with the night air and the perfume of the garden's flowers. She would never forget that scent. She wanted to close her eyes, but she fought for them to stay open as she took him in. She went as far as her mouth would allow.
Zuko took in a sharp breath and hearing that pleased her. What Mai did next was based on memory from the scroll's descriptions. She sucked, pulling back and rubbing her tongue underneath. Her hand stroked the base and what else her lips could not cover. Occasional she would flick her tongue over the tip. What came out of it was salty and a little bitter. Under her thumb, Mai could feel a vein pulsing a tightening. Her ears could hear Zuko's moans of pleasure. He laced his fingers in her hair and as he grew larger his grip grew tighter, but it didn't hurt. Zuko even started to move his hips and she wondered if he knew what he was doing. Was he aware of his actions?
The answer came shortly with the spray of his thick cum inside her mouth. Mai thought it tasted awful. It was so bitter, she wanted to puke. The scroll said the woman in the picture swallowed it, but she didn't care. There was a small trashcan near the bed and she thanked the dragons for it. Quickly she spat it out while trying not to gag.
"I'm so sorry!"
Mai could hear Zuko say behind her.
"I didn't mean to. I kind of lost control. I didn't know it could feel so good. I'm sorry."
Mai slowly got up and turned around wiping the corner of her mouth. "It's okay. I just... I didn't expect that. It was my first time." Her hands were shaking.
"Oh," Zuko blushed pleased to know that he was her first.
"But it felt good?" Mai was happy that the scroll's instructions worked, despite the ending.
"Yeah, I never felt that way before. I want you to feel that kind of pleasure too."
He leaned in and kissed Mai's cheek. She then let him lead her to the bed where she laid on her back and spread her legs. This Mai did know. She had seen it firsthand while exploring the secret passageways with Azula and Ty Lee.
––––
On one night, most recently the girls peered into a guest's room who had a woman in it. The woman was on her back with legs apart. The man had his penis inside of her and continuously rammed it in. The woman had large breast and they bounced up and down to the rhythm.
"If I was her I would be on top and he would be tied to the bed," Mai recalled Azula saying .
––––
"Are you ready?"
Zuko's question brought her back to present time.
"Yes, I love you. I trust you." She kissed him and felt his penetration.
He was slow and as gentle as possible and then with a little force there was blood. Mai couldn't feel the blood coming out of her because she was already wet, but she knew from talks with her mother that that was what happened during a girl's first time.
Mai could hear Zuko breathe heavily in her ear. He was already feeling good.
"I'm going to move."
Mai was surprised how much Zuko knew. How he knew how to handle a woman's body. "Wait," He lifted his head up and she could see in his eyes his disappointment. "Have you done this before?"
There was nothing but the sound of the breeze and the bugs in the garden.
"I read a few of my cousin's adult scrolls. They had a lot of stories of a girl's first time."
It sounded like a confession and Mai wanted to laugh. Zuko looked so embarrassed by the fact that his knowledge came from scrolls and not experience.
She kissed him and wrapped her arms and legs around his body. "I'm glad I am your first too."

Thinking back on that memory was bittersweet. Mai had come to the palace only to discover Zuko had someone else, but what was worst he was arranged to marry her.
"Knock, knock." Slowly Ty Lee pushed her head inside the room and when she saw Mai on the balcony she walked in closing the door behind her. The last time she had seen Mai this way was when she and Zuko first broke up. "Mai?"
"Hey Ty Lee, you came just in time. Azula just left."
"Azula was here?" Ty Lee could feel a chill going down her spine. "What did she want?"
"Don't know. To tell me everything was going accordingly. To remind me of how good a friend she is by bringing me here to all this mess."
"That sounds like Azula."
"I know, what a pain."
Ty Lee laughed but then stopped as soon as she realized her friend didn't join in. "Mai," she placed her hand on her shoulder, "I'm really sorry."
"Why didn't you tell me?" Mai didn't want to cry but she could feel the prickling and the stinging warning signs.
"I, I couldn't. There was a fear of something happening to Katara. The Fire Nation already hates Zuko. There are so many assassination attempts and he isn't even the Fire Lord yet."
"So you thought I would try to kill him? I would be like the rest of them?"
"No!" Ty Lee corrected, "But you both had broken up and Zuko thought for sure that he had lost you. He knew trust was the biggest thing to you and he had betrayed it twice."
"So now what? I'm stuck playing Azula's game."
"Not if you don't want to."
"But I can't help it if she plays to my feelings."
Ty Lee could feel her heart breaking, Mai was really upset. She had never seen her express herself this much.
"Ty Lee, I need to ask you this. If I don't it will be a constant pain."
"Anything. What is it?"
"Does he love her?"
Ty Lee had to think about it. She wasn't sure, not really. Possibly, She thought but then shook her head. "I don't think so. He would have told you that I would think. He would have told Suki and I that. Zuko is so confused right now so that confirms that though he loves you he has feeling for Katara."
"Humph, so that is how it is. I told him I wouldn't wait, but who am I kidding."
Ty Lee tilted her head. She didn't know the full story of what happened when Mai and Zuko last spoke. All she knew was what Katara told her.
Mai could see the slight confusion on her friend's face but she couldn't fully look her way and explain. Now all she could do was lift her head to the sky and let her bangs hide her eyes as a tear streamed down. I hope he chooses me.
Don't hate me. I can feel the reviews coming in. I know first lemon and it is MaixZuko. I know this is a Zutara but trust me...okay?
