.18. Beggar/Thief

Her kiss is tender, which is the last thing Ty Lee would have expected. After being broken up for so long, Ty Lee cannot believe that it is as soft as it is unexpected. She can't help but stiffen, breathless, and then lean into her. They are half-dressed and that makes it twice as heated. Ty Lee tries to steal another kiss but Azula pushes her away.

The motion is gentle as well, but it hurts. Ty Lee has no idea with this girl. She never knows what Azula is going to do and that terrifies her. It would terrify anyone.

"Beg," Azula orders.

Ty Lee bats her eyelashes. She promptly nods as soon as she realizes what Azula means.

She kneels in a heartbeat and tries to figure out the right words. Azula looks impatient and Ty Lee tries to think quickly, but thinking quickly about the right words to prolong her romance is not the easiest of feats.

Finally, "Please," Ty Lee very originally offers. "Please sleep with me."

"Maybe," Azula says and Ty Lee decides her best bet is to try again.

"Please will you sleep with me because please, princess," Ty Lee suggests. She has begged before and it does not feel so out of the ordinary. Well, being mostly naked is what makes it awkward, she supposes.

"I suppose." Azula looks disinterested, which did not seem to be her attitude when they were first realizing that they could probably never touch anyone again as they met up in the cold blue night.

Azula grabs her by the hand—no longer tender—and pulls her to her feet. As they kiss and weave backwards, Azula lets Ty Lee press her against the wall. Ty Lee's heart races from the panic, but she collects herself.

She kisses Azula's neck and then finds herself caressing her ex-girlfriend's breast with her hand. Then her lips find that hardened nipple and taking it in as it had a thousand times before. The princess's body begins to move, ever so slightly, and Ty Lee knows then that she wants so much more. The feeling is mutual. Ty Lee finds her arm, so delicate to the touch but so lethal and trained at the same time, and kisses it, and then falls back onto her knees as if she is begging again.

She kisses the sweet skin of her wrist and then takes her finger and touches her tongue to it before sucking it in familiar ways.

Ty Lee is swept away with desire.

She wants to steal tonight so badly.

Azula wants the same thing.
