Chapter 39

After a brief meal, the prince was given more of the cursed sleeping potion and fell asleep quickly. The moon was high in the sky, candles providing light for the tributes as they slowly gnawed at their food. The silence stretched on awkwardly.

"So…" Suki finally said. "What do we try next?"

No one answered. There was only about one more day before they had to leave. If no one was pregnant by then, the hideous hundred-year war would start again, likely to never stop until the Fire Nation was the last one standing. It sort of made it hard to get into the mood when the fate of the world rested on you getting pregnant, despite having preventative drugs.

Suki sighed. It was pointless to try to rest, especially now that she was aching again. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to just rush into banging him. Now, and for the rest of the time it seemed, they were going to be sore.

Looking around, Suki could tell that morale was generally low. Pain and exhaustion played a part, but mostly they were concerned about Zuko. He was working too hard, and he hated every moment of this. They would never enjoy it until he did.

That reminded Suki of Joesi's advice. She brightened. "What if we tried giving him blowjobs?"

Kya gave a half-smile. "That's a good idea, Suki." She looked to the other tributes. "Do any of you know how? Suki gave me a bit of a tutoring session before."

June nodded, but Katara looked wary. "What exactly is a blowjob?"

As Kya explained, Suki turned her attention to where Mai was sitting. "So do you know how to give a blowjob?"

Mai glared. "I'm not doing it."

Suki blinked in surprise. "What? Why?"

Mai scowled. "I'm not about to just become another sex slave to him." She looked down. "It's not what he wants."

Suki scoffed. "You think that's all we are to him? Sex slaves?" The room fell quiet.

Mai narrowed her eyes, raising her head to glare at her again. "I don't care how he views any of you. I'm talking about me. And I won't do it."

Suki opened her mouth, ready to retort, but Kya stopped her with a hand on her shoulder. "That's fine, Mai. Just make sure that you have something else that can help."

Suki huffed as Mai nodded. "I will."

Kya patted Suki's shoulder before returning to where Katara sat. She continued her explanation. "'Blow' is a bit misleading," Kya said with a chuckle. "It's more like sucking. Ideally, you are sort of trying to mimic the real thing."

Suki stepped in. "Well, not really," she said hesitantly, "It's meant to be a bit different." Soon, Katara was listening wide-eyed as the women explained kind of what to do. She nodded in understanding. "I'll try."

June snorted from across the room, a familiar devilishness in her eyes. "You're talking like you're so good at it, Suki." She stepped closer. "Want to make a bet?"

Suki watched June warily. She seemed like she was back to her old self, but something was off. There! She spotted a hint of teasing in the eyes.

Suki stuck out her chin dramatically. "Absolutely, I do. 50 Gold says I make him come faster."

June rolled her eyes. "Only money? No, let's make this more interesting." She leaned in. "How about winner gets the night with the other and Zuko, allowed to do anything they want." She grinned. "Unless you're chicken?"

Suki had just been hoping to lighten the atmosphere, but that sounded serious. She swallowed. "You know what? Deal."

Kya noticed the interaction. She bumped Katara with her shoulder. "Would you like to make a bet with me?"

Katara slowly looked at her, startled. "Really?"

Kya nodded. "I'm more experienced, so I'll give you a bonus if you win." She hesitated. "What exactly would you want? I'm certain money isn't any good."

Katara laughed, music to Kya's ears. Even June smiled at the sound. Katara was the youngest here, still sort of viewed as a child by some of the other women. To hear her laugh in such a time was a lovely relief.

Katara thought it over, oblivious to the effect she had. "Well, you're the harem keeper, right?"

Kya raised her eyebrows. "That doesn't mean I can bend any rules."

Katara rolled her eyes. "That's not what I wanted. What if…" Her eyes fell on Mai. "If I win, you have to spank Mai?"

Kya and Mai shared a look. "Katara, I don't think that I-"

"But if Kya wins," Mai interrupted, "She has to spank you." Her gaze met Katara's the glare between them only borderline friendly.

Kya cleared her throat. "If you are both okay with this…" She chuckled and shook her head. "Alright then."

Katara grinned while she looked at Mai. "You sure you don't want to compete yourself?"

Mai scoffed. "That's not going to work. I'm still not doing it."

Katara studied Mai's expression, hoping for any real hint. Did she really think Zuko viewed her as a sex slave? The way he looked at her nearly made Katara's blood boil. He sure didn't act like she was his slave. From what she had gathered from rumors, Mai was also his first kiss. But why wouldn't she give Zuko a blowjob, then?

The banter vanished as Zuko groaned awake. He looked exhausted as he hugged his red robe around himself, struggling to sit up. Katara and Mai both rushed over to help him.

He yawned as he looked around the room to find all of his wives looking at him. He bit back a sigh. "What is it now?"

Suki giggled. "You sound so depressed, like a lamb to the slaughter."

Zuko managed a small chuckle. "I guess I sort of feel that way. You're all eyeing me like a piece of meat."

June smirked. "Oh no, you're the whole package." She flushed, a little too much sincerity coming through the flirtatious comment. She looked away.

Zuko blushed as well. She clearly hadn't just been talking about his body. He coughed. "So…"

Suki knelt in front of him. "You're looking kind of down, Zuko." She pulled the knot around his waist loose. "I know just the thing to cheer you up."

Zuko groaned. "Blowjobs? Seriously? You know they aren't really my-" Suki's glare cut him off. "I mean, yay!"

Suki bit her lip to hold back a laugh at his sheepish expression. It's true, she knew they weren't his favorite experience, but they were running out of options. She dipped her head over his member, the growing light outside spurring her forward. They were wasting too much time.

She quickly rose to full tempo, earning a grunt from her husband. June came up from behind to hold her hair back, keeping it from plastering Zuko's shaft. Suki couldn't help but be impressed by whatever medication Kya was giving him. Just a few hours earlier, she could hardly squeak out any juices. He felt ready to go again.

She moved away from shallow and fast thrusts and switched to long, hard bobs. With each stroke she pushed closer to his hips. Bracing herself, she pushed down, wriggling her head as she forced his member down her throat. She struggled not to gag, but she had practiced on cucumber's back home – just in case.

June gasped as Suki met Zuko's base. "Well color me surprised…"

Suki glanced up at Zuko. His eyes were closed, another grunt of pleasure coming up from him. She needed to hurry up.

She began pumping up and down rapidly, going deeper than she had earlier. Zuko's hand suddenly gripped her shoulder, effectively stopping her. It took a moment, but she quickly stood, shedding her robe as well. She lowered herself onto him, grimacing at the pain. Fortunately, it was only a few seconds before she felt him empty his seed inside her.

It hadn't been very deep, and she cupped her entrance as he slid her off, trying to hold his juices inside her. "I'm going to go lie down," she blurted.

June shook her head in amazement as Suki laid back. "3 minutes? That'll be hard to beat." She glanced at Zuko's semi-erect member. "Especially seeing that he will be a bit more difficult now."

Suki chuckled. "I warmed him up for you. But fine, you get an extra minute."

June shrugged as she knelt down. This was going to be hard. She had blown a few men while in the Earth kingdom, but they were all pretty eager. They usually took a minute or two, and Suki had just gotten the very exhausted and well-spent prince in almost that time. This was going to be tricky.

She eyed his member, an idea forming in her head. "Are you relatively awake, Zuko?"

He raised his eyebrows. "After that? Yeah." His eyebrows furrowed. "What did you have in mind?"

June went over to the bed, shedding her robe. She laid down with her stomach down and pointed her head off the bed. Looking directly into Zuko's eyes, she opened her mouth wide.

Zuko sighed. He got the idea. It took no time at all before he was thrusting into her mouth, her tongue tracing his sensitive bottom side as he slammed into her. He tried to be careful to not make her gag, as he discovered she had a very sensitive gag reflex.

A few minutes later, Zuko pulled out. He grabbed her shoulders and flipped her backward as she squealed in delight and anticipation. In two short thrusts, he finished inside of his lovely wife. He kissed her forehead and glanced over at Kya. "How long was that?"

Kya scrunched her nose. "It was around four minutes, but I lost track of the exact seconds."

June shared an exasperated look with Suki. "So, who won?"

Zuko chuckled, the laugh rumbling down into June. She shivered. "I have no idea what you guys bet, but how about you both win? It's a tie."

He climbed off, seeming mostly relaxed. June smirked at Suki. "As the prince says?"

Suki refused to be cowed. "Fine."

Meanwhile, Zuko's attention was caught by Katara. She was smiling, and he couldn't help but smile back. He leaned down to kiss her, but was interrupted by Kya. "Oh no, you don't." Kya stepped up to him, placing a hand on his bare chest. "I'm going first."

Zuko raised an eyebrow while Katara rolled her eyes. Kya just feigned defensiveness. "I'm not about to let the young one take the first shot!" She knelt in front of her lover. "You might not find time for me."

Zuko shivered as Kya enveloped his thick shaft. She didn't go very far, and she quickly discovered that bobbing wasn't her strong suit. She settled for weaving and shaking, stroking over his shaft with her long, soft tongue. She licked the tip, earning a grunt. He was full mast within a few seconds.

Katara watched as her mom sucked off her husband. She pushed away the thought that had kept coming since they went to the South Pole. Was Zuko really her stepdad? She didn't know how to feel. By that logic, he could also be Kya's son-in-law. Either way, it was too weird to think about.

Yet, it felt good. She hadn't really had any father figures in her life, and she craved strong male company. Husband or father? She didn't really care. He would take care of her, protect her. That was enough for her.

It wasn't too long before Zuko warned Kya. She discarded her robe and sat back, gasping as Zuko wasted no time to impale her. Soon, it was Kya who had Zuko's seed deep inside her, much deeper than the two before.

She kissed his cheek. "Now for Katara."

Zuko looked over at where Katara was sitting. She was flushed with arousal, and she blushed as Zuko sat down next to her. He gently tilted her head with his finger to make her eyes meet his.

Her sparkling eyes were ablaze with emotion. "What were you thinking about?" Zuko whispered conspiratorially.

His hoarse voice made Katara shiver. "I just watched you get sucked off by my mom, isn't that enough?"

Zuko tilted his head. "I don't think that was it. Do you wanna talk about it?"

Katara blushed deeply. "No, not really."

Zuko sighed. "As long as you weren't thinking about…."

Katara looked to him, confused. She wasn't attracted to her mom, if that was the question. She just saw him with another woman, so was she thinking about another man?

She winced. "No, Zuko, nothing like that." Deciding the conversation was over, she knelt in front of him. "But we sort of have a bet too." With that, she took him in her mouth.

Kya was astonished as Katara began sucking on Zuko's member. She moved fast and hard, pulling in ways that exhausted her just from watching. Suki had been quick and skillful, but this was nothing like that. Katara was entirely unskilled, but she did her work passionately.

She slurped at Zuko as he pulled her hair back. He tried to retain eye contact, but his head reared back. "Katara, what-" He was interrupted by another groan.

Kya's jaw dropped in disbelief. One would think Katara was a whore the way she went at it. Her face bore no concentration, only subtle contentment as she continued thrashing Zuko's shaft. She couldn't go as deep as Suki, but she made up for that with enthusiasm.

Zuko's hands buried themselves in her hair, all thoughts of caution gone to the wind. He began pumping into her as she kept pushing him, a growl escaping her as she jiggled her head. With a start, Zuko realized he was coming.

There wasn't any time. He grabbed Katara by her armpits, yanking her up into his arms. In one smooth motion, he thrust into her barely in time, a few drops escaping before he lost himself into her sheath. They panted as his climax smoothed over.

"That was amazing, Katara." Zuko's breathing was slowly calming down. "You're amazing."

He moved to kiss her but she turned her head aside. "I'm not kissing you after that!"

Laughter erupted around the room as he set her down. She ignored the pang that came from his quick violation of her nether lips. She looked over at Mai. "So who won?"

Mai hesitated, her mouth not forming words. She bit her lip while Katara grinned. "It was a tie," Mai blurted out, "Too close to tell."

Kya eyed Mai. She was sure that Katara had been faster than she had been, but she hadn't exactly been counting. By everyone's expressions, no one else had been counting. She sighed. "I guess you both win."

Zuko looked confused. "But I haven't even done Mai yet."

"I bet on Kya," Mai stated flatly. "And you're not going to do me like that."

Zuko raised an eyebrow in confusion until he saw Mai's expression. His face grew solemn as he crossed the room to sit next to her, redoing his robe. Without a word, he wrapped his arms around her. She leaned into his shoulder, and they sat for a quiet minute.

Kya glanced at the sun rising through the window. Today was their last day before they had to leave. She calculated how many more times they needed to do it to statistically get pregnant. She paled. If Mai and Zuko did something now, between everyone else, they would need at least fifteen more times!

They couldn't waste any time! Her voice in her head was screaming. Watching them though, she felt a pang of compassion. Mai did need this. She took a deep breath to calm herself, settling for giving Zuko a panicked look.

He wasn't paying any attention. His eyes were closed as he held Mai. Who knows what made Mai so insecure about this. Sometimes you were just anxious. He couldn't fix her anxiety, but he could try to comfort her.

It was a few minutes before Mai sighed and pulled away. Zuko looked to her with concern, but she just kissed his cheek. "I'm ready."

She shed her robe and knelt down on the bed. Soon, she was facing away from him on her hands and knees.

Zuko hesitated. "Mai, won't that hurt? I thought you were-"

"Wrong hole, idiot."

Kya's eyes widened as she saw Mai's implication. Not only could she not bring herself to think about doing something like that, but did she realize how much this might hurt? A smaller hole, yes, but that also meant a lot more pain. If they were going to do this quickly… Kya winced at the thought.

Suki came from behind. "You might need some lube," she suggested. She opened Zuko's robe and gave his member a quick run down with her mouth. She nodded at him to go on.

Zuko took a deep breath. He had to remind himself that Mai enjoyed this. He lined up against her tight hole. "Ready, love?"

Mai didn't care to respond. She pushed backward, impaling herself on his thick shaft. She grunted in pain before trembling, a moan of pleasure escaping her. Zuko rocked slowly. She was a bit better of a fit now, but not much.

Her sphincter muscles strained to relax at the intrusion. Zuko impulsively decided to reach down to her sensitive nub. Mai gasped as he began tracing it with his finger, and her core fully relaxed.

Zuko sank into her, his manhood burying itself halfway into her. The rest of the room was silent as they watched the delicate process take place.

Katara absentmindedly pressed a hand to her own butt. She remembered trying this. If she really wanted to, maybe with enough practice they could do it. It had felt pretty good, but it was also really uncomfortable. On the other hand, Zuko had come really fast from it.

That was the case now. Mai's grunts harmonized with Zuko's as they both painstakingly rocked, each coming closer to their own climax. Mai bit her lip as her body shook with an orgasm. Her muscles clenched around Zuko, forcing his own climax much closer.

He quickly pulled out and easily traded holes. They both sighed as he slid in easily. Mai tightened around him, and Zuko came lazily, spraying her insides.

He waited for a few seconds before pulling out. He pressed a kiss to the back of her neck, just under her hair. "I love you." Mai grunted incoherently as she laid down, pulling him down beside her.

Zuko winced as his member throbbed. All of the abuse was starting to take its toll. He was red and swollen, his body begging for relief.

Kya stepped up to him, extending a welcome bowl to him. She looked as exhausted as he felt. He drank deeply, passing out only moments later.

Kya looked around at the other exhausted tributes. They hadn't slept a wink last night. "Get some rest."

"We have a big day ahead of us."

NOT ENOUGH VOTES. KEEP EM COMING.
