"By your command"
Chapter eight "Dates"
Ty Lee opened her eyes and yawned. Azula was sprawled across the other side of her bed, laying on her stomach, face turned toward her. Ty Lee tugged the sheet up to her cheek as her eyes traced over the long lines of Azula's body, the defined muscles in her thighs and back and buttocks as she dozed beside her, face mushed into her pillow.
Azula moaned in her sleep when Ty Lee trailed her fingers along the small of her back. Azula's eyes opened, and she blearily took her in. Azula grunted a greeting and lifted her head. Ty Lee leaned down to kiss her. The morning kiss went on and on and deepened in passion. Azula rolled onto her back, Ty Lee moving with her, laying full on her.
Azula felt herself stiffen between their naked bodies and gave a sleepy grin. "Long night, huh?"
"More than," Ty Lee agreed. She moved to straddle Azula's hips, moving slowly up and down Azula's stiffening shaft. "Thought you'd have company enough."
Azula groaned, placing a hand down low on Ty Lee's hip, urging her to sink down onto her. She sighed as they joined, Ty Lee's thighs pressed down against her hips closely. "Are you kidding me? Come on, Ty."
Ty Lee kept herself positioned above Azula, her hands grasping her shoulders. "All those men and women….bet you were tempted."
Azula would have been concerned if a playful grin wasn't on Ty Lee's lips. She rubbed the small of her back, watching her move up and down onto her. Her cock throbbed inside her. As they wound higher and higher, Azula was transfixed by the looks of pleasure spreading across Ty Lee's face. Of course, in moments like these she could see herself married to a woman like Ty Lee. They shared so much pleasure. But also in the moments after, when Ty Lee came all over her cock, screaming, and Azula was pushed to rippling orgasm, and she lay draped over her torso, Azula liked those moments as well. Why couldn't they get married? Azula had never asked Lord Ozai. But still…
Even as Ty Lee made a few jokes and got some giggles out of her, both wrapped up in each other, Azula knew it was too soon. They were having good times, but who knows how long that would last if they actually married. No, this right now was enough.
It had to be.
"Are you going to go out with her?" Ty Lee murmured against the curve of her breast. Azula rubbed a hand up and down Ty Lee's back as she lay sprawled across her, still joined.
"Hmmmm yeah. She's not annoying so far. You may like her too," Azula mumbled. Ty Lee gave a groan against her and leaned up on one elbow to look down into her face.
"I know what you have to do. Have fun. Just not too much fun." Ty Lee gave a pretend pout that Azula wondered wasn't too much on the pretend side. Azula cupped the back of her neck and pulled her down for a kiss.
"I doubt anyone could give me what you do in our sessions," Azula rumbled. Ty Lee's eyes lit up.
"Flatterer," she teased.
"And you should go out with Mai too," Azula said. Ty Lee looked at her curiously.
"For….you?"
"No, for you," Azula said. "If I have to get married to someone, they should be able to get along with you."
Ty Lee heard something unspoken in Azula's words. Definitely on the "you're not going anywhere right now" angle, but she didn't want to chance it. Their hold was growing stronger, but still felt as fragile as a spider's web. She leaned down to press a few kisses across Azula's face and she laughed, making a face as one caught the tip of her nose.

Ty Lee had to curse Ozai in her head when Azula had gotten the text right when they were about to climb into her limo. Azula muttered under her breath, reading it. She opened the passenger door.
"I have to take care of this. Looks like it's just you. Talk to her," Azula said. She leaned to kiss her lover on the cheek and handed her the credit card. Ty Lee nodded, accepting her hand into the seat. Azula smiled at her and closed the door and the limo pulled out into traffic.
Mai was very surprised to see just her entering the coffee shop alone. "Princess Azula is unavailable today?"
Ty Lee sighed. "She got called back to the office, they can't do anything without her." Ty Lee picked up the menu, going over it. She suddenly reflected she was alone with a prospect to Azula's side in marriage. She felt so nervous. Mai sipped her own coffee, subtly studying her. It wasn't predatory, just very matter-of-fact.
"Just so you know, I'm not after her heart."
Ty Lee lowered the menu, shocked. To outright say that to put her at ease was shocking in itself. Anyone in Mai's position would have tried to use it to their upmost advantage. "You're not? Most would try. They think they can tame or control her…."
Mai smiled ruefully. "No, it's merely a marriage of convenience. Azula gets what she wants, and in some way, so do you."
"Convenience…..for all of us," Ty Lee breathed. The waitress approached and she ordered her sandwich and coffee. Mai had the grace to look sympathetic.
"I'm sorry. Azula is my best chance for freedom. And freedom with someone I don't hate, that's more than I was hoping for. I didn't expect her to be with anyone. You must hate all this."
Ty Lee gave a ragged sigh. She was warming to Mai, despite her apparent aloofness. The three of them seemed to be operating on the same level which was surprising. "I do. I hate it. All those omegas and betas trotted out for meetings and lunches. I wonder if Ozai would consider me, but my father's disgrace from his company may not help me in this case."
"Lord Genma embezzled, didn't he? I'm surprised Ozai didn't kill him," Mai remarked. Ty Lee nodded.
"It was so stupid. Ozai knows everything." That remark put doubts in Ty Lee's head. Did he know of her sexual relationship with Azula? The thought put a spark of fear in her and she picked up her coffee cup quickly to steady herself.
Mai studied her outright. "I'm not after her seed…or her heart. But why DON'T the two of you marry? You're of nobility too. Would Ozai say no because of your father?"
The frank question shocked Ty Lee. In quieter moments lately, she had entertained the idea of marrying her alpha stud. They seemed to get on in private a lot better than sexually lately. They could go over end of day reports around one of their flats in comfortable shared silence or with a movie playing on the tv. But marriage? The idea was so far-fetched it took the wind out of her sails. Ty Lee sputtered and stammered, and Mai laid a careful hand on her arm.
"I'm sorry. I'm guessing you two are somewhat new together. All of this is a lot. For all of us."
"You have no idea," Ty Lee fidgeted. They both ordered and she was surprised how easy Mai was to talk to, even with Azula gone. She fired off a text to her lover and got a grousing one back. She giggled.
Mai glanced at her phone and gave her a small smile.
"She's going to ask you out to dinner. I won't be coming. Appearances," Ty Lee murmured. She lifted her coffee and sipped. Her heart was still doing flips and so was the pit in her stomach. Mai nodded her eyes hooded.
"How is she really? All I hear are rumors of her….virility."
Ty Lee blushed unhappily. "Well, that's all well and true. She is….. a lot."
Mai turned a few thoughts over in her head. She could very well like "a lot".
"I'll return her to you in good working order," Mai promised. Ty Lee gave her a genuine if uneasy smile. Mai could see what Azula had fallen for. Neither said anything about it, but she was certain they had more feelings than just lust between them. What she was getting into may turn heads if anyone knew, but it was her shot at getting out.
She had to trust her gut.

"You look like you're going into battle," Mai observed. Azula helped her into her chair and slid into the seat across from her. She'd ordered a table in the corner of the high-send restaurant and flagged down the waiter to begin with wine. Mai raised an eyebrow when Azula paused and asked her which wine she liked most.
Mai gave a name and year and Azula readily ordered it.
"With these dates, I've had to," Azula admitted. She sat back and tugged at the knot in her tie.
Mai gave a genuine smile, though the edges of her lips quirked in a smirk. "Your father loves talking about his business, that's for sure."
"Oh, yes. Thanks for covering my exit the other night," Azula said. She gave a low smile. She'd almost forgotten.
"Anyone getting on your good side must make sacrifices," Mai admitted. Azula still smiled at the joke in her tone.
"So, you're trying to get on my good side? Any of the omegas on Father's list would," Azula challenged. Mai lifted her chin, taking a sip of the wine brought out. She regarded Azula bravely over the edge of her glass.
"It's a good step, you have to admit. However, where I differ from them is that I'm not going to use Ty Lee as a way of capturing you."
Azula liked the challenge in her words. There was a hint of truth to them. She raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"
"I know about you two. And the others would have used that to out you, expose your…..arrangement. I don't think that's a good way of getting close to you."
"It's not," Azula agreed. She took a long sip of wine, flushed at the nervous pit in her stomach. Anyone else would have threatened her hold to Ty Lee. Taken her out of the picture. But she wasn't….. "I take it you two had a good breakfast the other day."
"We did," Mai said. "She is very intriguing. I can see what you see in her."
"Most of what I see in her is between her legs. Hope you weren't looking too closely," Azula scoffed. She was delighted to see Mai blush at that.
"Well, I'll leave that to you," Mai said. Azula liked the bow of her head at those words. She leaned back in her seat, tugging at her tie again.
"Why not try and cozy up to Zuko? He's more amicable than I can be," Azula said. It wasn't a threat; it was just a statement of who she was. Mai liked it.
"He is….fine," Mai said carefully. At Azula's raised eyebrow, she went on. "He could be easy to get on with. But I think he's the type that wants love. If he didn't find it with me, it would destroy him."
"He would be the type to be destroyed by that," Azula scoffed. Mai shifted.
"I don't know, many people want that," she said. Azula was surprised but found herself agreeing. Ty Lee came to mind suddenly. She blinked.
"Do tell," Azula mumbled. Mai paid attention to what Azula ordered. She liked her meat rare, it seemed. Vegetables had to be seared just so. When her golden eyes met hers, Mai smiled. Azula was every inch the virile alpha and she wondered just how much of her charms she'd get to sample. And Azula wasn't pushing to end the date early.
That was a good sign.

"I thought you'd come over," Azula said, as she opened her flat door. Ty Lee was on her doorstep and came in, shrugging out of her overcoat.
"How was your first date," Ty Lee asked sweetly, passing a hand down Azula's back. She was half undressed, belt unfastened, slacks loose and dress shirt untucked. Azula shivered and moved with her to the kitchen.
"Fine. Want some whiskey?" she asked, looking for glasses.
"Sure," Ty Lee said. She took a seat on the counter beside her and Azula ran a hand down her thigh as she searched. They both took a sip, regarding each other in the dim light of the kitchen. After sipping from her glass, Azula was caught as Ty Lee grasped her by the end of her loosened tie. Azula smiled as she was pulled close for a kiss.
"You worry too much, omega," Azula purred against her lips. Ty Lee grasped her face with one palm and pulled her close again.
"I'll do what I want," she protested. Azula took her glass from her, and set it on the counter, lifting her up in her arms.
"Good, and I will too."
Ty Lee giggled as she carried her to the bedroom.

Azula leaned with Mai in the back of her limo as they took off. Their second date had gone well as well, and she didn't know if it was the thrill of a new conquest, but her body was having several reactions around Mai. It was getting used to her and her scent, almost as used as Ty Lee in some way….When Azula put a hand low on her waist, Mai didn't shrug her off. She settled closer and their thighs were slowly pressed together.
Azula sighed in her head as she began to shift. Mai's perfume DID smell good, and her slim curves were appreciated.
"Thought you had enough at dinner," Azula teased. Mai looked up, blinking dark eyes at her. She swallowed suddenly, looking nervous. Azula felt her primal alpha side kick in and leaned in one hand cupping the girl's cheek. When she leaned closer, Mai's lips parted in expectation.
"Is this okay?" Mai murmured against her lips. Azula nodded, her bangs brushing Mai's cheeks.
"Yes," she said and pressed her lips to Mai's. Mai parted her mouth and stroked her tongue slowly against hers and Azula felt the hairs on her arms rise. She was rising as quickly. Mai smelled good, she tasted good, and she felt good. Her hands ran up and down her back, one reaching up to graze the side of her breast.
The driver stopped and announced their arrival. Azula leaned back, biting back a curse. Mai laughed, her cheeks red, and gave her a low sultry look.
"I'm hoping that means there's a third date," she purred. Azula grinned and nodded.
"Good night. Pleasant dreams and all that." She leaned back, spreading her thighs in a dominant posture that showed off the bulge growing between them. Azula was pleased when Mai's eyes drifted down on reflex and her cheeks reddened further.
"Oh, they'll be pleasant," she purred. She brushed deliberately against Azula as she passed her to exit the limo. "Good night, Princess."
"Lady Mai."
Azula leaned back, giving a grin to no one as her driver took her back out into traffic. She pulled her phone out of her jacket pocket and fired off a text to Ty Lee.
Yes, she was coming over.

Mai watched the door of the coffee shop expectantly. After her pleasant two dates with Princess Azula, Ty Lee had texted her to ask her to breakfast yet again. Without said princess. Mai knew this was to be expected but still couldn't help a pit of nervousness from forming in her stomach. Azula was free to kiss and touch her. They DID have to get to know each other if she was going to be a contender for marriage.
Ty Lee entered the shop, a beta darting ahead to open the door for her. She smiled prettily at the dumbstruck boy and clicked closer to Mai. Her eyes were warm, and her smile seemed genuine. Mai had a feeling Ty Lee didn't have a sneaky bone in her body, at least where her friends were concerned.
"Hey, you. How'd your date go?"
Mai reflected it was odd she asked when she could have gotten the answer from Azula. "Did you ask the princess?"
Ty Lee blushed and sat across from her. "You know I did." She ordered and looked at her phone, then regarded the quiet Fire Nation girl across from her. "I don't own her, you know."
"She thinks highly of you. Don't forget that," Mai added. Ty Lee blushed, looking somewhat pleased.
"Azula told me….this morning. That she's going to refuse to see anyone else on her father's list."
Mai looked surprised despite herself. "That's….alot."
"She definitely is," Ty Lee grinned despite herself.
End for now
