"By your command"

Chapter ten "Dilemma"

Azula was growing close to getting used to Mai. Her dry wit, small jokes, and the way she made her laugh. They'd kissed and that first touch made the hairs on her arms stand up. Seeing the dark look in Mai's eyes told her she'd felt the same. It was interesting and new and Azula's hormones were trying to keep up with their meetings. Father was placated she'd made a choice and some of the noose was off her neck. For now.

"So, I was thinking we should hire Michiko Mana as our wedding planner," Azula was saying as she slid into her limo. Mai was waiting. She pressed against her side and Azula was shocked how quickly she shifted. Azula leaned against her as they kissed and quickly, she took command of it sliding her tongue into Mai's welcoming mouth. The small moan that vibrated against her sent a thrill through the alpha. She pressed against Mai's front, making sure she could feel every inch of her shift that was straining between them through their clothes.

"Thought you'd want to wait," Azula gasped. "Til the wedding night…."

Mai laughed and took her lips in a quick kiss. It grew heated and while Azula was occupied, Mai was unfastening her belt and unzipping her slacks. Her fingers were grazing her shaft through her boxers and she strained.

"I can't see what you have to offer? Show me, princess," Mai murmured against her lips. Azula gave her a roguish grin as Mai tugged her boxers to mid-thigh, her shaft standing up at attention. She was immensely pleased by the low stare Mai gave her; her cheeks were red in a blush.

"Uhm….wow."

"I take it you approve." Azula flexed her stomach muscles for her benefit and Mai blushed up at her.

"Oh, yes." Mai grasped her by the base and squeezed, delighted at the thick shaft straining in her grip. Azula gave a low groan and thrust her hips forward. Their kisses were growing more heated and Azula leaned back, gasping when Mai reached to unzip her slacks, all while cupping and teasing her.

"I thought you didn't want to go too far right now," Azula smirked. Mai blushed up at her.

"I just want…to see what Ty Lee's going on about," Mai purred. She placed her hand around Azula's base and tugged her out and the princess gasped, leaning back into the seats. She spread her thighs, grinning.

"Ty likes talking about me, huh?"

"Oh, don't act so surprised," Mai purred. She stroked her hand up and squeezed Azula firmly. She was so hard it hurt. "Ty Lee loves what you do with her."

Azula gave a delighted chuckle then gasped as Mai picked up her pace, fascinated with her girth and response. "Mai, what are you…."

Mai gave her a sultry look and sped up her hand. "Seeing if you last."

Before she could finish her sentence, Azula was coming and coming hard. Her cock throbbed in Mai's grip and she shot her load all over her pants and the seats, staring in dismay. Mai gave a gasp; whether it was of admiration or consternation was another matter. Azula's mind was fading to a faint hazy red glow and she sagged back in the seats, spent.

"I'll take that for a compliment," Mai whispered. She helped tuck Azula's cock away and looked through her purse for a cloth to wipe her hands with. Azula panted, staring at her.

"How am I gonna get out like this now?" she moaned. "

Mai kissed her cheek. "I'd say I'm sorry, but I'm not."

Azula gave her a pout and exited the limo quickly.

Azula dashed down the hall to her office, holding her briefcase in front of her waist the whole time. She was just glad Mai was appeased by her hasty offering, but the evidence of her pleasure was all over her slacks and she didn't want anyone seeing. She made it to her office, slamming past Mari so fast her secretary didn't have time to see anything. She slammed the door on her calls and shuffled to her seat.

Azula made to sit down then stopped. She didn't want to get anything on her office chair, it WAS leather after all. She had an uncharacteristic moment of panic then looked up, eyes widening as her office door opened. She picked up her briefcase and prepared to throw it.

Azula sagged against her desk when Ty Lee just slipped in. "You're going to scare the life out of me one day," she muttered. Ty Lee made to sniff at her, then took her briefcase and got a good long stare.

"What in the…..having fun with Mai, huh?" Ty Lee pouted and in her head, she felt a twinge of something. Azula wasn't going to marry her, she had to be fine with this.

Azula gave her a sad frown. "Stop it, Ty. Can you help me change?"

"Yes." Ty Lee took her by the hand and rushed her down the hall toward their private executive washroom. Zuko was nowhere in sight so it was there for their use. Ty Lee locked the door and gently pushed Azula toward one of the stalls. "Go on, try and clean up….I'll be back with a new suit. I'm guessing you need new shorts too?"

Azula groaned, shutting the stall door. "Yes!"

"Okay," Ty Lee said in a gentler tone. "I'll be right back." Azula tensed when the door opened, but the automatic lock clicked in after she shut the door behind her. Azula unzipped her damp pants and sat, half dressed, on the edge of the toilet bowl. Finally, after about ten minutes, Ty Lee unlocked the door and let herself in. "I'm back. Okay, give me those clothes."

Azula opened the stall and accepted the stack of pressed clothes, laying it carefully on the top of the toilet tank. She stood and unbuttoned her shirt, undressing quickly. The damp clothing had been cold on her skin and she shivered as she kicked the ruined pants under the cubicle door. She saw Ty Lee take them. After finishing dressing, she opened the stall door, tugging on her suit jacket. Ty Lee did know her size and everything fit well. What she saw confused her.

Ty Lee was holding up her pants, looking like she'd been caught sniffing the crotch area. She blushed and stuffed the pants into a plastic bag, collecting up the ruined shirt jacket and shirt. "I was…sorry….." she mumbled, looking away. Azula's heart thumped, but she was still rather embarrassed.

Ty Lee made sure Azula was settled in, and finally working. She went to get her tea. Azula barely mumbled a thanks. Ty Lee leaned to kiss her cheek, trying to soothe her alpha. Azula was very embarrassed by what had happened or not happened with Mai. To bring up a punishment for giving her orgasm so quickly instead of her week-long on and off session was something else. They'd have words about that. But Ty Lee needed Azula to relax abit and get over her embarrassment.

"I think today was big for you. You need to relax, my princess. Come over? I'll even cook," Ty Lee offered. The day had been a long one, but Ozai oddly was giving their area a wide berth. Azula and she were doing well in the company area, and Azula had already asked one of the girls to marry her. It seemed they were off his radar which was a miracle.

Azula gave her a slow smile and nodded.

"Okay…."

Ty Lee turned her face to her and stole a kiss. Azula smiled into it and blinked slowly as Ty Lee pulled back. "I gotta pick up a few things for dinner, meet me at my flat?" When Azula nodded, her lover left quickly, heels clacking. Azula stared at the backs of her lover's legs and shut down her laptop, tidying up her desk.

She made a long berth getting over to Ty Lee's. She had driver take a few more streets and meander about before she got out at her lover's building. Azula gave her driver leave to go for the night and entered the building lobby. Taking the elevator up, Azula recalled how hard she'd come in that limo earlier. Her driver must have cleaned up any stray drops of her little….accident, for she hadn't seen any issue on the drive here.

Azula shook her head as she exited the elevator.

Ty Lee let her in, taking her suit jacket, settling her lover at her small table. There were a few candles going and Azula was pleased at the atmosphere. Ty Lee was trying to get her to relax, and it was touching. Ty Lee DID get her to relax usually.

Azula watched her lover moving around her kitchen, dolloping a healthy serving of what'd she'd made. It was a cheesy mac and cheese with a lot of grated cheeses, and even bits of fresh lobster. It was simple, but Ty knew she always felt better with a full stomach. Azula couldn't help noting how domestic the scene was, but it was far from her father and her family and she could let her shoulders unclench.

The lobster was at least well-cooked so Azula enjoyed her meal. Ty Lee had even cooked up some asparagus the way she liked it. The wine she'd picked pared with the food in its own way and she found herself warming to her lover. Ty Lee did know how she worked in so many ways.

After dinner, they wound up on the sofa and Ty Lee cuddled up close with her. Azula found her attention drifting from the UHC fight to the girl half on her lap. She would have shifted by now normally. Frowning in thought, she focused on Ty Lee's warmth hoping it would bring her inner animal out, as it were. Odd, she didn't feel her loins tingle. Was it because of this morning's…..accident?

Mai had seen the evidence of her virility, and so had Ty Lee, with gobs of her moment all over that pair of pants Ty Lee had trashed. But she hadn't felt aroused since.

She felt comfortable, don't get her wrong. Azula trailed a hand up and down Ty Lee's back, smiling when she settled with one leg over her thigh. Still, she wasn't erect, and it was starting to nag in her mind. Ty Lee was starting to play, sliding her hand from her thigh up to the juncture of her thighs, but there was no prize for her to feel.

Ty Lee's brow furrowed slightly, but she upped her game, leaning up to kiss Azula, and rub her shoulder soothingly. Azula melted into her kiss, but no, still no cigar. Even when Ty Lee unfastened her belt and slid her hand inside, still no shift. Ty Lee's fingers grazed over her softer parts, but before she could try and tease her clit and maybe urge her along, Azula caught her wrist with one hand.

"Sorry. I can't seem to right now," Azula mumbled. Her face turned red, and she looked away. Here she was, an alpha with an eager omega, her hand down her pants and she couldn't even find the urge to shift and take her. Ty Lee couldn't say she wasn't disappointed. She'd intended a rather naked end to the evening. But she could see the tell-tale signs of fatigue and confusion on Azula's face. Her princess put a lot of trust into her, even outside their sessions. She'd have to repay that trust now.

Ty Lee sighed and bowed her head against Azula's breast. She pulled her hand out and rubbed her belly instead. "Okay, no rush. Come on."

She urged a confused Azula to her feet and to her bedroom. Azula frowned as she unbuttoned her dress shirt.

"I don't think it's happening tonight, Ty," she said lowly. Ty Lee leaned up to kiss her cheek.

"Just be quiet and let me?" she said. Azula watched Ty Lee undress her. Usually that could get her going in the best of times, but at least it was soothing. Ty Lee nudged her to sit and then lay down on her bed.

"On your belly. Relax," Ty Lee urged. She stripped down to her underwear and went to the restroom to collect something. Azula turned her cheek toward the bathroom to track her lover's movements. Ty Lee beamed a grin at her and Azula's lip quirked up in her own smile. The bed dipped when Ty Lee climbed up behind her to kneel over her thighs.

"Okay…." Ty Lee uncapped the bottle and drizzled abit of massage oil over Azula's back. She shivered. "Just lay there, Azula. Just feel."

Azula's eye pressed to the corner of the mattress was still open but gradually she closed them. Ty Lee's ability to work and counter chi points worked in massage too. Darkness filled her mind and Azula smiled as she fell asleep.

Ty Lee kept up her massage, moving to Azula'a side to even massage down her arms and stroke hard circles over her open palms. When Ty Lee moved down her legs to her feet, Azula began to snore. Ty Lee giggled to herself and finished off with the soles of her feet. Letting her leg down, Ty Lee went to the bathroom to collect a warm damp cloth. She gently wiped as much of the oil off her back that she could without waking her.

After washing up herself, Ty Lee undressed fully and slid in next to her lover. She tugged the sheet over Azula's bare waist and settled close.

That morning had been a rushed event. No fun time for Ty Lee and Azula hadn't shifted. She'd shared several pleasant kisses with her lover, but Azula put on her business face too soon and they got ready together. Before calling her driver to collect them, Ty Lee tugged on Azula's tie and pulled her down for a soft kiss.

"If you have need of my….direction. Just tell me," Ty Lee murmured. Azula watched her and blinked. She nodded and leaned down to kiss Ty Lee again.

"Oh, I will…." She wanted to tug at the crotch of her pants, but her parts were still soft. Azula sighed. The lobby of her father's building had more hustle and bustle than even they were used to. Ty Lee held onto Azula's arm, both of them side stepping several errand boy and girls and apprentices scrambling to complete tasks for their higher-ups.

Ty Lee was starting to get nervous with all the smiles aimed at them. Or more precisely, to her princess.

"Princess, congratulations!"

"Seriously, what…." Ty Lee mumbled. Azula intercepted one of the errand girls and snatched the top pamphlet off the stack she was carrying. It was their work one that was published daily and apparently Ozai couldn't sit on the news about her proposal ideas. Azula gave a short laugh and hurried Ty Lee to the elevator.

Ty Lee was gratified when Azula pushed her to the wall of the elevator and pressed tight against her in a possessive hug. "This doesn't change anything," she murmured. "I'll still want my ten o'clock coffee."

Ty Lee laughed and wrapped her arms around Azula's neck. They separated when the doors parted and Azula made her way to her office.

"Right. I'll get to work. You have a lot to do too," Ty Lee said. Azula gave her a mournful look then sat down.

Azula sat across from Mai. They were in her hotel suite and Azula smirked at her erstwhile fiancée and tried to appear as confidant as she usually was. The lack of cock between her legs was troubling. Even now she felt a twinge in her clit, but it wasn't shifting or trying to extend. She sighed in her mind.

The announcement had been dropped during work that morning and it had been a rushed day already. Several assistants had tagged her office to set up appointments for this or that for her and Mai to attend and pick out….whatever they had to for their ceremony. Ty Lee couldn't come to these, and not risk blowing their connection. She hadn't been with Ty Lee since her accident in the limo. It had only been a day, but it was concerning to Azula.

Ty Lee even had brought it up in the open while serving her coffee earlier. "I think you need to fuck Mai. You may be blocked until you do." And had given her a sad grin but Azula knew Ty Lee missed their shared fun time. She was missing it too.

"I'm all for letting the experts plan this thing," Azula mumbled. Mai gave her a sly smile and nodded.

"I am too. I'm not going to lose my mind over the flower arrangements. I think we deserve as stress-free a day as we're going to get."

Azula blinked, regarding her fiancée. Mai did understand her in her own way, it seemed.

"Then we're in agreement. Well said, Mai," Azula rumbled. Mai winked at her and poured her a cup of tea formally.

"I live to serve," she said in a mock tone but Azula laughed. She raised her cup toward Mai in a toasting manner and then took a sip.

"Hold the knife that way…yup…. Then flick your wrist," Mai said. Ty Lee stuck her tongue in the corner of her mouth and obeyed. At least she actually hit the target this time. Mai gave a sharp laugh then smile as Ty Lee mock-pouted at her.

"Just don't use your knives on me, is it princess now?" Ty Lee teased. Mai ran a friendly hand down Ty Lee's back.

"Still lady, like you, until the wedding day. Spirits, my parents are thrilled. I wonder if they'd be thrilled that I'm really looking forward to moving out."

"Has Azula…..been intimate with you? It's been a crazy week," Ty Lee fretted. Mai raised an eyebrow at her. Ever since that fun event in the limo, she hadn't seen Azula's cock persay, but they had kissed.

"I think we're all stressed. She hasn't done more than kiss and she doesn't tell."

Ty Lee felt alittle relieved at that, however….. "She'll perform for the wedding night, I have no doubt."

Mai gave her a long look that spoke volumes. "I'm not after her seed, or her heart. I want you to know that."

Ty Lee laughed and ran a hand through her bangs. "Do I look nervous?"

"You certainly feel it. I think you call it "not feeling pink?" Mai quirked a smile. Ty Lee nodded.

"I am. I managed to get her attention from anyone else. Just don't… use up all her time."

An unspoken please hovered between them. Mai took the next dagger from Ty Lee and arched her wrist toward the target across the room.

"I can share. And I will."

"That's good enough then," Ty Lee gave her old grin. "How'd you get away this afternoon?"

"Groom robe fitting. Thank spirits it's a custom Fire Nation wedding we're going for. I'm not in the mood to pour myself into a white dress."

Ty Lee put the mental image of Azula in a tight black tuxedo out of mind. The traditional robes would look good on her.

"I can't wait to see," she grinned.
