"By your command"
Chapter eleven "Wedding"
Azula laid her head on the table and sighed. She'd been bombarded with the heads of several areas of her wedding. Mai hadn't been here today, having been taken off to try on several wedding robes. Traditional Fire Nation wedding garments hid a lot more than showed and Azula tried to imagine what Mai looked like naked. Her clit tingled but didn't move to extend. Azula sighed, pillowing her head on her arm.
When two hands touched her shoulders, she almost jumped out of her skin. But Ty Lee leaned close, kissing the side of her neck, massaging her through her dress shirt.
"How are you?" Ty Lee asked. Azula gave a sigh and kept her head on the table as her lover massaged her sore muscles. She gave a hiss of delight when an old bruise was gone over.
"Tired. I have people planning this thing. But they keep bothering me. Father already sent a few texts my work is behind. He can't leave me alone until this is over?" Azula mumbled. Her chi flared erratically. Ty Lee leaned behind her and kissed her cheek.
"Let's go to the pleasure club. At least let me soothe you," Ty Lee murmured. Azula's blood boiled. She nodded.
"Do what you want with me, mistress," she purred. The limo drive was fast. In their usual room, Ty Lee commanded Azula to strip down. Her shaft was still gone, her parts soft. Ty Lee bound her with her arms suspended from the ceiling, ankles secured to the floor. Azula stretched her wrists above her head, hissing at the stretch. Then she relaxed her stance.
"Just feel," Ty Lee urged, reaching for a leather flail. Azula tensed her muscles and hissed with pleasure as she was struck along her sides and thighs. She widened her stance. Her shaft wasn't extending, but her parts felt wet and sticky. Ty Lee was looking at her clit; even while it wasn't extending to the shaft she was familiar with, the hood was pulled back indicating Azula's relaxed arousal. She gave an especially hard struck against Azula's ribs, watching her jump in surprise.
Azula grunted. "What are you doing?" she asked as Ty Lee kicked her heels off. She unfastened Azula's chains from the ceiling, put pushed her to lean up against the horse, wrists still bound together. She dropped to her knees in front of her. Ty Lee ran her hands carefully over the bruises and small welts she'd left, and around to her hips. She held Azula still and pulled her clit between her lips. Azula jumped when Ty Lee sucked hard. She murmured and lapped her tongue softly around the small protrusion of aroused flesh.
Ty Lee gazed up at her, a hint of her feelings in her brown eyes. "Just feel, my princess. I'll make you feel good."
Azula leaned against the horse, her thigh muscles tensing as Ty Lee serviced her. Long moments of staring down at her lover licked and sucked, her fingers teasing Azula's hips. Azula leaned her head back and let a slow release come. She was about to when it slipped away. She grunted in frustration, trying not to scream. Ty Lee felt it. She released her clit with a soft pop and rested her cheek on her stomach.
"You okay, love?" Love. It made her heart thud terrible. Ty Lee had never called her that before. Azula gave a wry smile, tugging one wrist up.
"Release me?" she asked her mistress. Ty Lee unfastened her wrist restraints. Azula reached down to cup Ty Lee's cheek. She waited for her ankles to be released and slumped down to the rug. "I'm okay. It felt good. I just couldn't…."
Ty Lee curled in her lap. "It's okay. Don't think about it too hard."
Azula rubbed Ty Lee's back as she leaned back, long legs sprawled. "Trying not to." Azula found herself kissing the top of Ty Lee's head, trying to soothe her with her chi. Her lover hadn't had much action lately and the wedding stood between them.
It had to be gotten past for them, Azula knew it. At least her future wife wanted to play as much as they did. Azula could only count herself so lucky. Come to think of it, Mai knew they were together, just not all the dynamics of it. A slow smirk stretched Azula's lips.

Azula smiled when Mai put her hand over hers. They sat across from her father and Zuko. A Water tribe girl, dressed in a modest blue dress, sat beside her brother and Azula found herself studying the shaman girl. Katara had been amicable bowing to her in greeting, but as the family tea ceremony wound on, Azula wanted to retire with Mai, or Ty Lee, her mind shifting both women into one and then separate. She was attracted to both of them, she could admit it. At least all three seemed intent on sharing each other.
"I hope our family will expand soon with your inclusion, Katara," Ozai said. Katara blushed prettily and thanked him but Azula tuned them out.
'Yeah, wish it all you want, Father.'
Azula suddenly wondered if Ozai expected grandchildren this year or next, which still meant a heck of a lot of surveillance of her bedroom activity. A cold sweat lined her spine beneath her shirt at the thought.
Azula leaned back in her chair, smiling to herself when arrangements were made. She sipped her tea slowly. "And now I must take my leave of you. I'll retire as soon as I can," Azula murmured. Ozai was on his phone, ignoring them for the time being.
Mai gave her a soft pout. "Have fun. But not too much fun."
Azula smiled at her and kissed the back of her hand. "Go over to Ty's if you want company."
The women were sent off to their respective areas, and Ozai gave a smirk to his children. Azula was schooled enough not to openly fidget. Zuko's foot was tapping beside her. Azula could almost remember them being children in this exact same position. But she was an adult now, and she had done the preferable thing in her father's eyes, getting engaged first. Zuko had to catch up and he knew it.
"Before you wed, there's always a night of fun. And I daresay we've earned it," Ozai said. A limo came up and all three climbed in. Azula reflected the limo ride would have been gravely improved with Mai and even Katara. The shaman girl was probably shy and could be used as a buffer against Ozai.
Zuko paled as the limo pulled up to a rather pricey strip club. Azula tried not to smirk openly. Well at least some good visuals and drink were on the table. Maybe their father would leave them to their own devices.
"Let's go, children," Ozai said as they stepped out. Zuko adjusted his black suit as they followed him inside. Of course, they had a private room upstairs. There were comfortable chairs and cushions for the floor, and a few half-dressed Earth Kingdom and Fire Nation girls. Azula felt her privates tingle and sighed in her head. If their father wasn't here, she'd be more relaxed.
As the music got louder and the girls more undressed, Azula was pleased after a few drinks to notice she got her wish. Her father HAD left. Well, good. Azula slid over to her brother and captured his phone. When he made to protest, a girl plopped on his lap and pinned him down. Azula snickered and fired off a text to Katara, explaining where they were. Let Zuko have fun explaining that tomorrow.
"Azula!" Zuko protested. Azula shrugged as a waitress sidled in, bringing more glasses of sake.
"Either entertain that poor girl or let her dance!" she suggested. Zuko blushed as the girl kept him pinned down beneath her.
"Well, you're gonna get in trouble too," Zuko protested. Azula leaned back on a cushion, loosening her tie. When a girl made to lay beside her, she moved away.
"I doubt it. My girls know how we all work together," Azula teased. She was satisfied when her brother's face fell.
The girl she'd moved from followed her to the washroom. Azula tugged her hands away from her belt, then stroked along her naked thigh, angling to slide her fingers up in her. Azula was buzzed, half aroused, but still unshifted. Also, her father was well known in well, every circle. If she couldn't shift, the girl would notice and possibly blab about her behind her back to all the other girls in the establishment. Ozai's family image be damned, Azula didn't want her lack of shift to be noticed.
But she could at least give pleasure to hide her problem. The girl squealed against her shoulder, one leg raised up around her waist. Azula fucked her with her hand, pushing her up against the wall of the washroom. When the girl came, and held onto her, Azula stroked her naked back with soothing hands. She was surprised when her face was pulled down and a hot kiss was pressed on her.
"Come on, don't you want something?" The girl panted against her. Azula smiled, tugging her hands away from her pants again.
"No, but my brother does," she grinned. The girl tugged her panties back on and followed Azula back to the private room. Azula held a hand up in front of her eyes.
"Jeez, Zuko, save it for them, I don't wanna see it."
"You're not telling Katara anything!" Zuko yelped. Azula covered her face with one hand when she noticed a girl's head bobbing up over his lap.
"Ah, but Katara could be my new best friend. Night night, Zuzu," Azula called. She patted the girl's ass she'd just fingered and pushed her into the room.
Azula stumbled out to the front of the strip club, waiting for an uber she'd called. When she fell into the car, she punched in the address for Ty Lee's flat. She was surprised to see Mai there as well, but both women greeted her, putting her to bed. As Azula passed out from all the sake she'd had, she thought how glad she was they were all there together.

When Azula woke, it was to cold sheets and two ice-cold omegas. One she was due to wed in a few hours. All three ate breakfast together, Azula only in a pair of shorts, her omegas properly covered to her dismay.
Azula sipped her coffee and regarded the two scowling women. "Alright, want to lay it on me already. What's with the cold shoulder?"
She didn't sound repentant and both omegas almost backed off. Almost.
"Was she pretty?" Ty Lee said. Mai scowled. Azula raised an eyebrow at them.
"Who?"
"You smell like a hooker."
Ah. There it was. Azula sipped her coffee.
"I was taken to a strip club," she dryly.
"Well, you do smell. You gave your shift to someone else?" Mai pouted. Azula watched both her girls. Jealousy did not look good on them.
"No. I did not," Azula insisted. It was the truth, after all.
"But you…"
"Smell, I know. I couldn't shift. Besides, didn't seem like too much fun. I wasn't really into it, but you know how those girls are. I just used my fingers," Azula mumbled. Mai and Ty Lee shared a look.
"Well, at least we can look forward to your….illustrious return," Mai murmured. Ty Lee pouted at her.
"Why can't I be there tonight….."
Mai shook her head fondly at Ty Lee. "After the wedding night, sure."
Azula found herself smiling at the two women. "Treat me gently and you'll get all you want," she teased. She was pleased when her omegas smiled at her. "Spirits, dressing is going to happen in under two hours. And we have to go separately."
"I suppose I shouldn't have spent the night here. Tradition says the soon to be wed shouldn't…."
Azula waved a hand. "Fuck tradition. We'll do as we want." She was pleased when Mai and Ty Lee shared a smile.
"I'll get going. I know you'll be there," Mai said. She stood up and headed to dress. Ty Lee accepted a hug and Azula stood up to embrace her on her way out the door. Mai blushed when Azula's bare breasts pressed against her.
Azula sat down and grinned at Ty Lee. "Come here…." While she was no wilting flower, even she knew her lover had to be feeling somewhat to the side on her wedding day. She held Ty Lee on her lap and let her lover feed her. Ty Lee was too quiet. When Azula went to ask her something, eggs were forked into her mouth. Azula quieted, chewing. She leaned to kiss her lover on the cheek.
She shared warmth and spent as much time with Ty Lee as she could. Azula knew Ty Lee didn't want to talk about it. Not right now. Glancing at her phone, Azula groaned.
"Father wants to know where I am."
"Well, we should get you there and dressed," Ty Lee whispered. She stood up from Azula's lap. But she leaned down and gave her a long kiss. Azula felt slightly light-headed when it was done. "You have a lot to do…."
Azula got dressed and found herself lingering as she put on her shoes. Ty Lee fluttered near her door, then left with her. Ty Lee pressed into her side the whole limo drive over. Azula's hand settled on Ty Lee's thigh and didn't leave. She squeezed softly.
The wedding was taking place at a large hall downtown. Azula was swept up by her wedding preparers, and found herself in a dressing room, and almost forcibly stripped. Ty Lee had ducked in. As her fashion consultant, it was allowed, or at least no one was telling Ozai she was here and making her leave. Azula smacked hands away from her and pulled her clothes off. She allowed Ty Lee to help her though.
Her groom's robes were presented and Azula waited as each tuck and fold secured the garments over her torso. Ty Lee carefully arranged her obi and walked around her, checking for tears or discrepancies. She tugged and carefully arranged as she walked around her. Azula's eyes were soft for her when she made a full rotation and was in front of her again. Ty Lee wanted to cup her lover's cheek, kiss her. But there were too many in there, rushing around her. She settled for running her fingers through the ends of Azula's long black hair. It fell around her shoulders, framing her beautiful face. Ty Lee blinked through her tears.
"We should do your hair," she murmured.
Azula angled her chin at the mirror.
"Topknot," she said, indicating she wanted it pulled up. Her wish was granted, and a gold head piece was slid into her topknot. Azula recognized it as one of her father's and wanted to shudder. Well, let him have his family story in the papers. She would tear it off her head as soon as she could retire with Mai. Ty Lee kept her hands on her shoulders from behind, both of them watching each other in the reflection of the mirror as the hairdresser scurried away. Ty Lee tugged on Azula's arm.
"We have abit of time. You should relax…."
Azula was led to a sofa and sat carefully, trying not to wrinkle her robes as the assistants fussed over her posture. Well, this was happening. She found herself hoping shed have a good evening with Mai. If Mai's dry wit disappeared when she was truly alone with her, Azula would be disappointed. She blinked and looked up at Ty Lee. She was smiling bravely, but she could tell she was sad. Azula wanted to be equally sad with her.
She reached forward and took Ty Lee's hand, giving a soft squeeze. "Go on, find a seat. I'll see you after."
Ty Lee nodded, brown eyes shining with what Azula hoped weren't tears. She let go of Azula's hand and stepped back.

Azula took a few calming breaths by herself. One of the shrine maidens had sidled up to explain when she'd step out on the dais, once the bride had been led over and they would meet in the center with the priest. Fine, whatever. She tilted her head back and stared up at the ceiling. Her rigid top knot kept her neck from fully rotating and she sighed. The shrine maiden was gesturing madly at the side for her. Now? Fine, now.
Azula swept past the curtains to the dais and took strong slow steps toward the waiting priest in full Fire Sage regalia. His large conical hat bobbed as he nodded at her in approval. Azula stood, the strong groom, and she felt the chi signatures of her father and brother beside her. Opposite, Mai in her formal robes, white veil half hiding her face, was led by her parents. A young man in formal wear followed; he had to be the brother Mai had spoken of. The two families stood opposite, and the priest droned a prayer to Agni and his bride, mirroring Azula and Mai as their earthly representations.
The families bowed and took seats at two long tables opposite each other, with Azula and Mai in the center. A small table was brought out by two shrine maidens and set before them, and two stools. Both sat, Azula noting, with some discomfort. Mai trembled beside her and Azula reached between them to lay her hand over hers. The small smile Mai sent her way sent a tingle down Azula's spine. The priest stood before them, praying on and on. Mai dipped her head in obeisance and Azula blinked at the priest. He held a golden bottle and poured a dollop of sake into the round dishes waiting before the pair. Mai picked hers up and sipped delicately. Azula watched her from the corner of her eye. She bowed her head, setting her dish back down and Azula took her turn to drink. The sake was very good. Must have been an old vintage her father had scrounged up.
The priest gestured them to stand, and the shrine maidens dashed up behind them like ready servants to collect their stools. "Exchange your rings to cement your joining."
Azula held Mai's hands in hers and fished out the ring she'd bought her from an inner satchel in her robes. She couldn't help giving a roguish grin to her bride. Azula noticed Mai studying her hands when she returned the gesture, slipping her own ring on. She didn't care what her father thought. Mai smiled at her under her veil and Azula smiled back. Both leaned in to kiss and Azula heard flashbulbs of several cameras going off.
Take all the pictures you want. It was done.

Ty Lee sat up as tall as she could in her chair. She was in the middle rows of the ceremony, and she had eyes only for Azula. She looked so good in her robes. A sudden daydream struck her. Could she have been in Mai's place, in her wedding robes? Azula looked at her with warmth sometimes, but that wasn't the same thing as wanting to marry. Ty Lee fidgeted in her dress, trying not to feel as confused as she did. Azula wouldn't want it.
When the newly wed pair walked down the center aisle, Ty Lee sat up tall. Azula swept her eyes to the side and met her gaze as they passed. Ty Lee sighed. She waited for the aisles to let out and followed to the reception hall.
Ozai spared no expense. The reception took place in a hall the size of a convention hall. Ty Lee found herself at a table with other workers of his company, and the drinks were flowing. Ty Lee listened to Ozai's speech, Zuko's reluctant one, and watched the steady smile on Azula's face. Mai looked happy at her side. If she was acting, she deserved an award. Ty Lee suffered through the first few dances of groom and bride before those sitting were allowed up to join them.
Ty Lee was surprised a beta asked her to dance, but gladly accepted. As she leaned against the man's shoulder, she tried not to imagine Azula in his place. Seeing the groom sidle to the bar, Ty Lee took her leave and thanked the beta for the dance. Sprinting away from his confused expression, Ty Lee leaned close beside Azula.
"Congratulations," she murmured. Azula turned to regard her almost solemnly. Damn she looked good in her robes and severe topknot.
"Thank you," Azula said lowly. Ty Lee dared to reach over and put her hand on Azula's.
"Can I come to your hotel suite tomorrow morning?" she asked. Ty Lee's heart thudded. If Azula said no…. But she was relieved when Azula nodded.
"Yes," she whispered and smiled.
Ty Lee sighed and pressed a hand to Azula's chest, over her breasts. "Have fun," she whispered. She wanted to lean in and kiss Azula's cheek, but there were oh so many eyes in this hall. She had to settle for the small smile Azula had just for her as she sashayed off.
