This chapter has all OCs in it. If they aren't your thing, feel free to skip it. This chapter is serving the overall storyline, not the Zutara smut storyline. Still, this does have smut in it. That said, I'm trying to establish why the Fire Nation nobility would accept a Waterbender from the harem as Zuko's wife. It also has some other plotting on it.


"Shit, am I drunk. Isn't it freaking wonderful?" She giggled and added, "you didn't tell me he had his own vineyard."

Shrugging, he replied, "no. I thought my brother would have told you."

She raised her glass and shook her head. "That would require him actually talking to me. He tries not to do that too much."

He laughed and grabbed her arm, and pulled her to himself. "You are damn annoying to talk to." He then caressed her breasts. "You're sexy, though, so I put up with you."

"Daddy, be nice," she scolded.

He laughed as swatted her ass. "You're such a brat, my little girl. Now, drink up, and I'll ensure you're in his bed when you pass out."

"I'm willing, but tomorrow, I want a rough fuck from you. I don't even get to enjoy sex tonight."

He rolled his eyes, "I'm guessing you wouldn't enjoy it if you were stone-cold sober, either." He grabbed her breasts and said, "just remember this is to become my wife. He agreed to help us. All you have to do is literally lay there."

She pouted. "Yes, but he wants me in his bed often."

He nibbled her neck. "I'll reward my baby girl for helping. What do you want, little thing?"

She gave him a lust-filled look and caressed his chest. "You promised me sex parties. That is why I put up with this."

"You're perfect."

"I know."

He added, "just know he holds the key to the loyalty of a third of the guards. As he fucks your drunk body tonight, we get over a hundred eyes to look the other way as we undermine the Fire Lord. He's useless, but his father, while he still lived, trained and was greatly respected by the guards. They hold a loyalty to his family name."

She smiled, "it would be fun to slit the Fire Lord's throat myself. Too bad that's not in the plans."

He laughed. "You do hate him."

She frowned and took another large swallow of wine. "He had my half-brother killed. He was the only man I ever trusted." She looked at her wine glass as a tear slipped down. "Azulon was my mother's lover for a short time. Long before I was born. She was sixteen when he took her to his bed and got her with child. But we all know Ozai made sure to kill all of his father's bastards. He managed to stay hidden for a long time, but it didn't last. Yes, I hate the Fire Lord."

He caressed her cheek in a very rare show of tenderness. "Then let's make sure the asshole dies."

She raised her wine glass, "I'll drink to that."


Emi walked into the main dining room with what felt like rocks in her stomach. The councilors hadn't had time to return yet, but Ozai was "celebrating." That meant the younger sons were invited. Mai's letter had reached him, and he instantly declared his heir was taking after his father, which made him proud. Zuko had truly proven himself a man and had killed to ensure he was heir. Tonight was a celebration.

The Madam hadn't even paused to consider who she would be sent to pleasure at the dinner. Unbeknownst to Emi the Madam had hoped she would join her sister in the family home as a wife to the second son. A man who had taken great risks to help her and had shown true care for her.

She bowed to him as she entered the dining room and knew her duty, and so did he. She kneeled at his side and slid off her dress, and let it pool on the floor next to her naked body. She then waited for his command, knowing Ozai's eyes were on everyone, just searching for a hit of insubordination.

She took a deep breath as he pulled his pants low and his straining erection came out. She straddled him and sheathed his cock.

He caressed her ass and whispered into her ear, "I promised to protect you. I'm so sorry you have to do this."

"I'm not. I do this to protect the ones I care for."

He nodded as she slowly began riding him. "You love your sister."

"Yes. I love her very much. But I care for you too."

He gasped and pulled her close. "It breaks my heart that there isn't anything I can do to keep you."


Ozai was enjoying the celebratory dinner. Azula had been, he thought, made in his image. He was massively disappointed in her. He would never have allowed himself to be killed in his pursuit of the throne.

He thought about how he hated Katara. There were whispers of her having control over him. That said, she made his son. Somehow through fucking that whore he became a man and an heir he could be proud of. One who could kill for the throne.

He had one of his mistresses ride his hard cock as the other caressed his body. He loved the fucking and how much they got off on the sex and the violence. He refused to think about how he owed Katara for them.


The Madam took a drink of Fire Whisky. On nights like this, ones with the sex diner, she usually drank to dull the guilt and the horror. She cared about her girls and hated how they were used.

Still, tonight she was careful not to get drunk. She couldn't make an error now and protect the girls or help Katara when she returned. She had to keep her head to help everyone out.

Her spies had been a huge help in establishing a picture of what the important families were thinking. None of them would deeply object to Ozai's death. Some even openly called for his head. Well, as openly as they could without losing their own.

She took another sip of her drink as she pondered her next move. She desired that Katara would return, but all the same, she would make a plan in case she didn't show up as soon as hoped for.


As Kyo thrust into his perfect, lovely, amazing wife, he moaned with pleasure. "You're everything to me."

Tohru arched her back and clenched her inner muscles. "I adore you."

He kissed her hard on the lips, thrilled not to hear her cut herself down for the first time. "Finally."

"You are my present and my future. The past no longer matters."

He took her hard. "Good girl!"

He knew as he made passionate love to her that he had already sent out word looking for her brother. The one who killed her asshole father. The brother he was determined to protect from now on. The one he would make sure have everything he was able to provide.
