Nayuh was half-listening as her brother and one of his co-workers continued to argue over some sort of work-related topic that she knew nothing about. Out of habit, she scanned the room, looking for Vira, frowning when she couldn't find her. It was the third cursory scan she'd done in the last thirty minutes and her fiance seemed to have vanished into thin air.

The party was somewhat winding down and the people staying at the Air Temple had started to slowly trickle out. Even though Nayuh would've much rather stayed in the guest room with Vira the rest of the evening, being able to hang out and celebrate with their friends and family had been a lot of fun, and she was glad that Korra had invited everyone back.

But, after being unable to see each other for an entire month, Nayuh was starting to get slightly irritated that Vira had up and disappeared. Especially since this entire thing was for them. She politely excused herself and walked over to Korra, pulling her aside.

"Have you seen Vira at all lately? I can't find her anywhere."

Korra frowned and scanned the room. "No, I haven't. And now that I'm thinking about it, I haven't seen Asami in a while either."

"That's weird," Nayuh said. She waved at her mom, who was talking to Su, and motioned for her to come over. Kia and Su exchanged a curious look and then they both walked over to Nayuh and Korra.

"Have either of you seen Vira or Asami recently?" Nayuh asked them.

"I haven't," Kia replied, shaking her head.

"I saw them talking a while ago, then Kuvira followed her out of the room," Su said. "They haven't come back yet?"

"I guess not," Korra said, folding her arms across her chest. Then her face lit up with recognition and she chuckled. "Nevermind. I know where they are."

"Where?" Nayuh asked.

"It's better if I just show you." Confused, Nayuh followed Korra out of the ballroom and down the hall. The sounds of the party faded the farther into the house they went and Nayuh noticed that Korra was taking her to a part of it that she hadn't been to yet. They rounded a corner and Nayuh saw there was a set of stairs that appeared to lead down underneath the house.

"What's down—" Nayuh started to ask, but Korra raised a finger to her lips, shushing her. Then she grinned and tilted her head, silently telling Nayuh to listen. She gave Korra an annoyed look but did as she asked. Then Nayuh heard it. The unmistakable sounds of someone or someones welding. And when it stopped, she could just barely make out Vira's voice, then Asami's.

"Come on," Korra whispered. She crept down the stairs and Nayuh followed her, wondering why they were trying to be quiet.

She got her answer a few moments later. Korra crouched down and pointed and Nayuh mimicked her, seeing that the stairs led down into a massive underground room. Asami's workshop. It was the only thing that made sense, and Nayuh couldn't help but think that her father would kill for a space like this, for his own projects.

There were a few workbenches that littered the space, with all manner of tools and other things Nayuh couldn't identify covering them. A large machine sat in the center, while mismatched parts of other types of machines were scattered around it.

Asami and Vira had changed out of their clothes and were now wearing coveralls, but both had tied them off at their waists. Nayuh had no idea how long they'd been down here, but the tank tops they were wearing were already boasting grease stains. Currently, they were huddled around a welding station, with Asami welding and Vira watching. Two open beer bottles sat on the table next to them and Nayuh turned to Korra, who was grinning.

"Is that the prototype?" She kept her voice low, so Asami and Vira wouldn't hear them.

Korra nodded and sat down on the stairs. "Asami mentioned wanting to bring Vira down here to show it to her tonight. I guess she couldn't wait until everyone was gone."

Nayuh chuckled and sat down next to Korra. "I can't be mad about her ditching me at the party then, considering that that thing is the entire reason we're in Republic City right now."

Korra and Nayuh sat on the stairs and quietly watched them work for a few minutes. Seeing Vira so relaxed and happy brought a smile to Nayuh's face. She glanced over at Korra and saw that she was watching Asami work with what could only be described as a polar bear puppy dog look on her own face.

"Good to know that, even after getting married, you still look at Asami like you're the luckiest person alive," Nayuh teasingly said, lightly bumping her shoulder into Korra's.

Korra sighed wistfully. "I am." She flashed Nayuh a teasing smile. "Just wait. You'll see. I swear you're going to be even more in love than you are now, once you two get married."

"I don't know if that's possible," Nayuh replied, her voice soft. She gazed at Vira and her mind drifted back to their earlier activities in the shower. Heat surged through her at the memory, but she forced it away. There'd be plenty of time for that later. Right now, she was more than content to allow Vira to have this time with Asami. They'd be heading back to the South the day after tomorrow and if Vira wanted to spend the entire time down here, working on the prototype, she was more than happy to let her.

Korra, however, seemed to be growing restless the longer they sat there. Finally, she turned to Nayuh and smirked, then stood and let out a loud, suggestive whistle as she ambled down the stairs. Nayuh chuckled and stood up, following her down into the workshop. As soon as Asami and Vira saw them, they grinned. Although, both of them looked a little sheepish at being caught down here.

"Sorry," Asami said, "I only wanted to show it to her, then—"

"Then I asked her to show me how it worked," Vira interrupted, "and one thing led to another, and well…" She flashed Nayuh a guilty smile. "Sorry. We'll come back up soon, I promise."

Nayuh shook her head and walked over to Vira, sliding her arms around her waist. "Don't…stay down here as long as you want to. I don't mind." She tilted her head up for a kiss and Vira happily obliged.

"Are you sure?" Vira asked, looking a little concerned.

"One hundred percent," Nayuh replied. She kissed Vira again and motioned to the prototype. "This thing is the entire reason we're here. I'm not going to keep you from working on it…especially since you're not getting the amount of the time you should've, to spend with it." She smiled. "It's your vision…you should see it through while we're still here."

Vira beamed, then bent her head and kissed Nayuh again; this time, a little more intensely. "Spirits, I love you so much. Okay…I'll be up as soon as we're done. It might be late though…sorry."

Nayuh reached up and cupped her cheek, chuckling. "Stop apologizing. Take all the time you need…I swear I don't mind. Just don't be surprised if I'm asleep when you finally come upstairs."

Vira chuckled as well. "I'll try not to wake you up then. And…maybe don't tell anyone we're down here? I know Asami wants to try and keep this as much of a secret as she can."

Nayuh mimicked zipping her lips shut. "Korra and I won't say a word." She shot a look at Korra, who was currently mid-kiss with Asami. Korra must've heard her though, because she gave Nayuh a thumbs-up, without even breaking off the kiss.

Nayuh amusedly rolled her eyes and tilted her head for one last kiss. This one lasted a little longer and once Vira finally released her, Nayuh's face was a little flushed. "Come on, Korra," Nayuh said, tugging on the Avatar's arm. "Let's let these two get back to work."

Korra grumbled into the kiss she was sharing with Asami, who chuckled. A few more insistent tugs on Korra's arm and Nayuh finally managed to extract her from Asami's arms. They got halfway to the stairs before Korra turned around and eyed Vira and Asami closely.

"Behave," was all she said, causing everyone to laugh. Then she bounded up the stairs, with Nayuh right on her heels.

They headed back to the party where no one even seemed to notice their, or their partners, absence. It took another hour or so before everyone who wasn't staying at the house left. Nayuh said goodnight to her mother and brother, then sleepily climbed the stairs to her room. The day had been a whirlwind and she was exhausted.

Vira still hadn't returned by the time she crawled into bed, but she wasn't worried. She'd meant it when she told Vira to stay down there as long as she needed to. They would have plenty of nights to fall asleep together once they got back home. She drifted off almost immediately, and for the first time in a month, slept soundlessly and without a single nightmare.

"Do you think we'll have it working by tomorrow?" Kuvira asked Asami. Asami started to answer, then yawned widely, causing them both to chuckle.

"Possibly," Asami answered as they started climbing the stairs that led to the bedrooms. "We're so close, I can feel it."

Despite the very late hour, Kuvira felt a surge of energy. "I think so, too. I'll be ready to go whenever you are tomorrow."

Asami chuckled. "It won't be too early, so you can sleep in. And I'm sure you and Nayuh would like to have a lazy morning to yourselves."

Kuvira knew what she was hinting at and while that did sound awfully appealing, she also wanted to spend as much time with the prototype as she could. "We can have plenty of those, once we get back home. If we can get this thing working tomorrow, I want to. Especially since I'm leaving the next day…for good."

Asami gave her a sympathetic look. "Not for good…just…a while."

Kuvira sighed. "Ten years is a long time."

"It is," Asami agreed, "but it's not like you'll never see Korra and me again. And even if we don't get it working before you leave, it won't be long before you'll be implementing it at the factory."

She stopped walking and clasped Kuvira on the shoulder. "This is going to change everything. And it's all thanks to you. I wish we had more time to work on it, too, but I'm glad we're getting at least this little bit before you have to go. I am sorry I dragged you up here and into all of this, though. I never meant for any of it to happen."

Kuvira gave her a wan smile. "I know you didn't and I never blamed you. The world was bound to find out about me sometime. I'm just glad that it all worked out the way it did. Everyone knows now, and I still get to live my life exactly how I want to. Yes, being confined to the South for ten years sucks, but in the grand scheme of things, it's not that bad. I'll have my wife, my work, my family…it's all I could ever want."

Asami smiled. "Do you think that if anyone told us four years ago, that this is where we'd end up, we'd have believed them?"

"Absolutely not," Kuvira said, laughing.

"Me either," Asami replied. "Crazy how things work out."

Asami bid her goodnight once they reached Kuvira's room, and Kuvira quietly tip-toed in. As she'd suspected, Nayuh was fast asleep. Kuvira crept into the bathroom and took the quickest and most thorough shower she could, needing to wash the grease and sweat off of her before she crawled into bed.

Nayuh was still asleep but stirred a little as Kuvira lifted the covers and slid in next to her. She gave her fiance a gentle kiss on the cheek, then curled up against her back, draping an arm around Nayuh's waist. Nayuh sleepily reached down and grasped Kuvira's hand, pulling it up to her chest and hugging it to her. She shifted back into Kuvira and hummed out a contented sigh.

"I love you," Kuvira whispered.

Nayuh mumbled something that sounded like I love you too; a few moments later she was asleep again. Kuvira wasn't far behind her. Between Nayuh's body heat and the comfortable familiarity of her skin against Kuvira's, Kuvira was able to fall into a deep sleep for the first time in a month.

When she awoke several hours later, that body heat was gone. In its place was the warmth of the sun, which was pouring in through the window along with the sounds of birds singing outside. Kuvira blinked a few times, trying to get her bearings, and smiled when she realized she wasn't in a prison cell anymore.

She had no idea what time it was, or where her fiance was, but she was in no mood to get out from under the covers to go find out. She was warm, she was more than comfortable, and she dozed on and off for a while until she heard the door open. She rolled over and saw that it was Nayuh.

Nayuh smiled at her as soon as she saw that Kuvira was awake, and walked over to the bed, bringing the tray she was carrying with her.

"You were sleeping so peacefully, I didn't want to wake you," she said, "so I had the kitchen make you breakfast." Kuvira sat up and propped herself against the massive headboard, allowing Nayuh to set the tray over her legs. On it was a bowl full of the best-looking porridge she'd ever seen, two hard-boiled turtle duck eggs, and a cup of tea.

"Thank you," Kuvira said, tilting her head up. Nayuh got the hint and leaned over to give her a kiss. Kuvira took a few sips of the tea, savoring the flavor, before digging into the porridge. "I could get used to this," she said, in between bites. "Have you eaten already?"

"Yeah, before I came up," Nayuh replied, grimacing slightly. "Sorry. I don't know when you got in last night but I know it was late…I figured you'd want to sleep."

"I think it was around two when we finally called it quits," Kuvira said. "We're so close, though…Asami thinks we might be able to get it working today. Is she up yet?"

Nayuh nodded. "Yeah, she and Korra got up a while ago. She told me to tell you that she was heading into the office for a few hours, then she'd be back and you guys could work on the prototype then."

Kuvira's face fell a little. "Okay. What about your mom and Panuk? What are they up to today?" If she was going to be spending the rest of the day in Asami's workshop, she wanted to make sure that Nayuh wasn't going to be sitting around all day, waiting on her.

"Korra, Tenzin, and Kya—not my mom, the other one, our cousin—are taking them and the rest of the Southerners here, into the city on a sightseeing tour," Nayuh answered. She chuckled. "Panuk was literally bouncing in his seat at breakfast once Korra told him she could take him into the Spirit World, if he wanted. Tenzin's going to swing by and pick me up a little later, once you and Asami start working."

"I wish I could've seen that," Kuvira said, laughing.

"It was like he was five years old again," Nayuh said. "Mom had to finally tell him to calm down. Oh and before you even ask…I'm not going to go in if they do. I want my first time in there to be with you when we go through the Southern portal."

"I appreciate that," Kuvira said. She reached out and gave Nayuh's hand a squeeze. "But I won't be mad if you went in without me."

Nayuh shrugged. "Still…I'd rather go with you."

"Okay." A thought suddenly occurred to her and Kuvira waggled her eyebrows at Nayuh. "So…sounds like we have a few hours to ourselves…"

"Yes, it does," Nayuh agreed. Her eyes slowly trailed down to Kuvira's chest, which just so happened to not be covered by anything at the moment. "Got any ideas of what we should do?"

Kuvira brought a hand to her chin, pretending to think it over. "Maybe one or two…"

Nayuh laughed and nodded at the tray in Kuvira's lap. "Finish eating, then you can tell me all about your…ideas."

They chatted about the work that Kuvira and Asami had accomplished on the prototype last night while Kuvira finished eating. With the promise of something far more fun to come, it took all the willpower she had not to inhale her food. When she was finally finished, Nayuh took the tray and set it on one of the low tables in the living area, before rejoining Kuvira on the bed. Kuvira reached for her immediately and pulled Nayuh to her.

"Was this one of your ideas?" Nayuh said, as Kuvira softly kissed her.

"Mmhmm," Kuvira replied. "I figure we can start with this—" More kisses, this time along Nayuh's jawline and up to her ear. "And then see where things go from there."

There was a sharp intake of breath from Nayuh as Kuvira began teasing her ear with her tongue. "So far, I'm really liking this idea," she murmured. She let Kuvira take the lead and Kuvira took her time, exploring every inch of Nayuh's skin as she slowly worked her shirt and breastband off.

They hadn't had the time nor the desire to take it slow yesterday, but now they did and Kuvira was determined to enjoy every second of it. Yesterday had been about satisfying a mutual need. Right now, all Kuvira wanted to do was make love to her fiance, for as long as she could.

Fortunately, Nayuh seemed to be on the same page. She let Kuvira take her time exploring while Kuvira slowly relieved Nayuh of her clothes. Once she was finally naked, Kuvira flipped them over, so Nayuh was on her back, and started to slowly kiss her way down to Nayuh's chest.

Nayuh arched into Kuvira's mouth once it enclosed around one of her nipples, and Kuvira spent an extraordinarily long time teasing her. She could feel how turned-on Nayuh was, could tell by how labored her breathing had become. Not to mention the fact that she kept grinding her pelvis into Kuvira's leg, seeking pressure that Kuvira wasn't all that ready to give just yet.

But when Kuvira finally started kissing lower, to give Nayuh what she so desperately seemed to want, Nayuh stopped her. Kuvira lifted her head, completely confused and wondering if she'd done something wrong. Nayuh was smiling, however, and Kuvira could see a hint of anxiousness as well as hesitation in it. Which only made her more confused.

"I…want to try something," Nayuh said, "...as long as you're okay with it."

Kuvira placed a couple of gentle kisses on Nayuh's stomach. "Absolutely. Whatever you want me to do, I will."

Nayuh squirmed a little underneath her and Kuvira couldn't tell if it was from nerves or arousal. "I…umm…I kind of want you to use the toy…on me."

Kuvira's eyes widened in surprise. "Are you sure?"

Nayuh nodded. "I am…I just…I don't know if I'll like it or not. But I want to try it."

Kuvira crawled up to her and kissed her. "I'll go slow. And if you hate it or it's too uncomfortable, tell me immediately and I'll stop." She smirked. "There are plenty of other things I can do instead."

"I'm well aware of that," Nayuh replied, smirking as well. She nodded her head in the direction of her bag. "It's over there, in my bag."

Kuvira gave her one more kiss, then quickly got up and went over to Nayuh's bag. It was still in the box it had come in and Kuvira got it out and walked back over to the bed. Now that she'd seen it on Nayuh already, she was able to put it on fairly easily.

It was even more amusing seeing it on herself than it was on Nayuh and she had to tamp down the urge to laugh. She could tell Nayuh was pretty nervous about the whole thing, and she knew now wasn't the time to crack jokes about how ridiculous she looked.

Instead, once it was comfortably in place, Kuvira laid back down, this time on Nayuh's side. Her face hovered over Nayuh's, their lips just barely brushing as Kuvira trailed her hand down Nayuh's stomach and in between her legs.

Nayuh's back arched and her lips found Kuvira's as Kuvira began teasing her. Once she was sure Nayuh was ready, she slowly pushed a finger inside. A low moan escaped Nayuh's lips and Kuvira knew it wasn't going to take much of this before Nayuh would be fully ready for her.

One finger soon became two, but Kuvira kept her pace slow. When she could tell Nayuh was reaching the point of no return, she withdrew her hand and situated herself in between Nayuh's legs.

"Just try and relax," Kuvira said as she lined herself up. Nayuh nodded, but she was biting her lip and Kuvira gave her a gentle look. "Relax." She reached down and started lightly stroking Nayuh with her thumb, hoping that would get her to relax enough so she could start pushing inside.

It worked, a little. She kept her eyes on Nayuh's face, watching for any sign of major discomfort as she so very slowly started pushing inside her. Nayuh eventually reached down and pushed Kuvira's hand out of the way, replacing it with her own, which allowed Kuvira to lean forward, creating a better angle for them both.

She braced her hands on either side of Nayuh's shoulders and, very gently, rocked back and forth, each time going just a little deeper. Kuvira knew from experience that this was going to hurt, but as long as Nayuh didn't tell her to stop, she'd keep going.

Finally, she managed to get all the way in. She leaned over and brushed kisses on Nayuh's lips before asking, "Are you okay?"

Nayuh stiffly nodded. "You weren't joking about it hurting…but…it kind of feels good?"

Kuvira chuckled. "Just wait. Do you want me to start moving?"

"Slowly," Nayuh replied and Kuvira kissed her again. Then, trying to be as gentle as she could, she slowly pulled out a few inches and pushed back in again.

Nayuh groaned and her hands came up to tightly grasp Kuvira's back. Kuvira picked up a slow pace, wanting to let Nayuh get used to it before she really started moving. If Nayuh would even be able to tolerate that right now. Kuvira hadn't forgotten her first time, but the teenage boy she'd been with hadn't been nearly as gentle as she was trying to be with Nayuh.

Eventually, Nayuh started to dictate Kuvira's pace by the roll of her hips. Kuvira gladly matched it, wanting to make this as good for Nayuh as she could. And according to what Kuvira could see and hear, she seemed to be succeeding.

The short, sharp sounds Nayuh made every time Kuvira thrust in, coupled with how tightly Nayuh was gripping her back, and how fiercely Nayuh kissed her (whenever she sporadically remembered that Kuvira's face was hovering right above hers), were driving Kuvira's own arousal sky-high.

Not to mention that every time she thrust in, the toy would rub against her in precisely the right place. If she wasn't careful, she might just get off before Nayuh, but if she timed it right, they might be able to do it together. That thought drove a shot of heat right to her core and Kuvira had to bite her lip to stop herself from coming right then and there.

Fortunately (for her), Nayuh seemed to be hovering right on the edge as well. A few thrusts later and she went rigid underneath Kuvira. A split second after that, a loud cry tore from her lips and it was all Kuvira could do to keep up with the wild bucking of Nayuh's hips. Watching Nayuh come completely undone was what tipped her over the edge as well and Kuvira gasped as her orgasm crashed over her.

She tried to ride it out as best she could and keep her focus on Nayuh, who couldn't stop squirming underneath her. Her fiance's face was contorted in what Kuvira could only recognize as sheer ecstasy. It made her insanely happy to see it. Even more so knowing that she'd been the direct cause of it.

Kuvira helped Nayuh ride out her aftershocks, pecking soft kisses along her lips and jawline as she did so. "That was incredible," Nayuh eventually mumbled, causing Kuvira to chuckle slightly.

"I'm glad to hear it. The first time can usually be a bit rough. I wanted to make it as easy on you as I could."

"Mmm," Nayuh said, lazily rolling her hips up into Kuvira, who was still inside her, "you succeeded. I won't lie, it hurt a lot, at least at first…but after a while, it felt amazing." She cocked her head. "And am I imagining things or did you get off, too?"

Kuvira flashed her a guilty smile. "Oops. I wasn't trying to, I swear. It's just, this thing was rubbing against me and seeing and hearing you…I was helpless to stop it."

"Uh-huh," Nayuh playfully retorted, then she winced as Kuvira shifted a little. "Uh, can you maybe—?"

"Absolutely," Kuvira quickly replied. She pushed herself up and slowly started to pull out. Once it was completely out, Kuvira took it off and tossed it to the side, then flopped down next to Nayuh. "You didn't tell me how much of a workout that is." She'd never admit to it out loud, but her arms were feeling a little rubbery and her stomach felt as though she'd just done a million sit-ups in a row.

Nayuh chuckled. "You're in shape. I figured you could handle it." She trailed a finger down Kuvira's chest, to her stomach, and then lightly traced patterns on her lower abdomen. "Does that mean you're too tired now? Especially since you already got off?"

Kuvira grinned and shook her head. "Not a chance. You know I'm usually good for more than one. You just might have to work a little harder now," she added with a smirk.

"Challenge accepted," Nayuh replied. She rolled on top of Kuvira and started exploring Kuvira's neck with her lips. "What would you say if I said I wanted to use the toy on you now?"

"Yes, please," Kuvira answered. She groped around with her left hand until she found the toy. Then she tapped Nayuh's side with it, interrupting her exploring. "You get to wash it off though."

Nayuh rolled her eyes in mock exasperation, grabbed the toy, then got off of Kuvira and the bed and went into the bathroom. Two minutes later she was back. Kuvira had propped herself up on the pillows and clasped her hands behind her head as she amusedly watched Nayuh strap it on. I wonder if I'll ever not be amused by that thing. Probably not, but it's definitely a lot of fun to use.

Once it was in place, Nayuh laid down beside her and let her hand drift slowly down in between Kuvira's legs. Kuvira's hands were still behind her head, but her efforts at trying to appear unfazed nearly unraveled the moment Nayuh pushed a finger inside her. It took everything she had to not buck her hips and drive Nayuh as deep as she could.

Nayuh quickly added another finger and leaned over to kiss Kuvira. "Do you want to try a different position this time?" she murmured, in between kisses. Kuvira thought about it for a moment, then nodded. "Which one?" Nayuh asked.

"How about I let you choose?" Kuvira answered. Nayuh stopped kissing her and pulled her head back, a look of concern on her face.

"Are you sure? I want this to be good for you…I'm okay with whatever you want."

"I'm sure," Kuvira said. Then she smirked. "You can't tell me you haven't fantasized about specific ones…"

Nayuh sheepishly grinned. "Maybe a few."

Kuvira leaned up and kissed her again, injecting a little intensity into it this time. "Then let's try one. I trust you to make it good for me."

"Okay," Nayuh said and her fingers resumed their slow thrusting in and out. It felt so incredibly good and Kuvira hoped Nayuh would choose a position soon. Or else they'd have no need for the toy.

"What about…from behind?" Nayuh tentatively asked.

On instinct, Kuvira started to wrinkle her nose, then stopped, remembering what she'd just said. It was definitely not her favorite and she didn't enjoy the vulnerable position it put her in. But, just as she liked it when Nayuh let her take a more dominant role, she knew Nayuh enjoyed the same thing every once in a while. Their relationship was equal parts give and take—sex was no different. And Kuvira trusted that Nayuh would be gentle with her and make it worth it.

So she nodded. Her hesitation didn't go unnoticed, however, and Nayuh looked uncertain. "If you're not okay with that, then say so, Vee. I'm more than happy to try whatever position you want."

In response, Kuvira pulled Nayuh's head to her and kissed her, deeply and passionately, leaving them both a little breathless once she pulled away. Then she rolled over onto her stomach and propped herself up on her elbows and knees.

Nayuh looked a little surprised at the sudden turn of events, but the hesitation in her eyes was now gone. She quickly made her way behind Kuvira and Kuvira tried to relax when she felt the head of the toy pressing against her.

"Do you need me to—" Nayuh started to ask, and Kuvira looked back over her shoulder and shook her head.

"No, I'm ready." Nayuh nodded, then grasped Kuvira's hips with her hands and started slowly pushing forward.

She hadn't been lying when she said she was ready and it wasn't long before Nayuh was all the way inside her. Kuvira chanced a glance behind her and saw that Nayuh had a slight look of awe on her face, as if she couldn't believe this was actually happening. It was so cute and endearing and seeing it helped Kuvira to relax completely. She really wanted this, Kuvira thought. And I want to give her everything she wants.

Kuvira rocked back a little, a small hint that Nayuh needed to start moving. Which she more than happily did. The change in angle felt incredibly good, as did Nayuh's hands as they caressed the entirety of Kuvira's back. Having already done this a few times before with her, Nayuh knew she wasn't going to hurt Kuvira, and she picked up a fast pace almost immediately.

It was exactly what Kuvira had been wanting and craving. She buried her face in the sheets, trying to muffle the sharp cries that Nayuh was drawing out of her, but it was useless. When one of Nayuh's hands snaked around to her chest and started teasing her there, the added sensation nearly made her come undone right then. She managed to hold back, just barely. It felt too good to be over so soon.

But her second orgasm of the morning was rapidly building and there was nothing she could do to stop it. Especially once Nayuh shifted ever so slightly, causing her to hit the perfect spot. A few more quick thrusts sent Kuvira right over the edge with a loud cry.

It was insanely intense and Kuvira was barely aware of anything other than Nayuh driving into her, hard and fast, drawing more and more waves of pleasure out of her each time. When they finally started to taper off, Kuvira reached behind her, searching for Nayuh's hand. She finally found it and gently tugged Nayuh down on top of her, wanting as much body contact as she could get.

She kept her hips up though, so Nayuh could keep thrusting, which she did slowly, helping Kuvira ride out her aftershocks for the next few minutes. She trailed kisses all over Kuvira's upper back and neck and Kuvira hummed contentedly at the contact. Nayuh's weight on top of her was comforting and Kuvira found herself in no hurry to roll over.

"Are you okay?" Nayuh finally asked, her voice gentle.

"Oh yeah," Kuvira replied. She lifted her hips into Nayuh's next lazy thrust, driving her as deep as she could go. Nayuh got the hint and held the position for a few moments, before pulling out and thrusting in again, repeating what she'd just done. It felt so good that, for a moment or two, Kuvira thought she might have another round in her. Then, as quickly as that idea occurred to her, it was gone.

"Okay," Kuvira mumbled, "you can stop…but don't pull out yet. Feels good still."

"Okay," Nayuh replied. She continued to rest most of her body weight on Kuvira and softly kissed along her upper back and shoulders. It was so comfortable that Kuvira didn't move at all for a while, prompting Nayuh to finally ask, "Umm…are you asleep?"

Kuvira chuckled. She had been on the verge of dozing off, but not now. "Close…but no." She turned her head and offered Nayuh a sleepy smile. "What can I say, you wore me out."

Nayuh took that as her cue and slowly pulled out. She tossed the toy aside and Kuvira rolled over onto her back, opening her arms up so Nayuh could lay on her chest. "Was I okay?" Nayuh asked. Then she yawned and chuckled at herself. "Guess we wore each other out."

Kuvira kissed the top of her head and lazily trailed her fingers up and down Nayuh's back. "You were amazing. I'm glad you suggested doing that…it felt very good."

Nayuh lifted her head and smirked. "It sounded like it felt good. And I thought I was the loud one. Good thing we're alone in the house right now."

"You weren't exactly quiet yourself," Kuvira retorted, playfully rolling her eyes. She lifted her head for a kiss. "I hate to admit this, but Asami was right: that thing definitely spices things up in the bedroom."

Nayuh laughed. "I agree. Does that mean we're keeping it?"

"Well, we can't exactly return it now." The thought was so ridiculous that both of them burst out laughing.

Nayuh kissed her again, then settled her head down on Kuvira's chest. Kuvira continued to stroke her back, listening as Nayuh's breathing gradually started to slow. The pull of sleep was calling to her too, and once she realized Nayuh had given in to it, she stopped fighting it.

She was asleep almost instantly.
