Chapter 21

Axis gulped and grinned sheepishly. "{Well, I don't think lying would do any good, would it?}"

Korra quickly stood up after she excused herself and her friend and practically dragged Axis out of the dining halls. When they got into the gardens, Korra finally let go of her friend's wrist. "{Have you lost your mind?! Why on earth would you screw around with the wife of our host?! My freaking mother in law!}"

Axis didn't look impressed by her Korra's outburst. She waited patiently, her arms crossed over her chest. "{First of all, I didn't screw around with anyone. Yeah she and I had sex, so what?}"

"{So what?! Axis! She's married!}"

"{To a man who's fucking with their maids!}" she suddenly roared.

Korra blinked confused. "{Wait... what?}"

Axis frowned at her friend and muttered something under her breath. "{Oh, now you wanna know? First you're yelling at me, telling me what a fucking asshole I am for 'screwing around'. And now this?}"

"{Wait, Axis, I'm sorry... I shouldn't...}"

"{No, you shouldn't. Now piss off and leave me alone.}" she said and turned around fuming.

"{Axis! Wait! I'm...-}"

"{Fuck of Korra! I'm done with you for today!}" she snapped but kept walking. "{If you really think I'd do what I did without thinking, you don't know me very well. At all.}" she stopped for a second before she stormed off again and disappeared in the garden.

Korra let out a deep sigh. Why the hell would I think like that...? I know she's not like that! She growled in frustration and decided to go back to the dining hall. She stood in the door opening and looked at everybody, starting with Hiroshi. To Yasuko and her gaze lingered at Asami, who was staring right back at her. a worried expression on her beautiful face. Korra smiled sadly and made her way over to her wife.

"Everything alright...?" Asami asked and used her napkin to clean her mouth.

Korra nodded. Her eyes moved to Yasuko and they locked eyes for a few seconds. The older woman immediately knew what happened. A faint blush showed on her pale cheeks and she quickly turned her attention to her plate.

"Y-yeah... just... a little argument..." she swallowed hard, she never had a fight with Axis before and the entire thing made her feel sick to the stomach. "I... I'm not hungry anymore... would you mind if we uh... went swimming for a bit...? It's nicely warm outside already..."

Asami smiled warmly at her wife and nodded. "Sure..."

The two excused themselves and left to prepare for their little swimming session. An hour later, the newly weds were enjoying the lovely weather and the refreshing water. Korra had her arms wrapped around Asami's waist and Asami's arms were wrapped around the Avatar's neck. Her head rested on Korra's strong shoulder and she sighed happily.

She kissed Korra's warm neck and nuzzled it afterwards. "I love you... and I love this..." she mumbled softly. Her eyes closed.

Korra stroke Asami's back tenderly with one hand, her other arm still wrapped around the vixen's waist. "I love you too... and yeah... this is nice..."

The heiress pulled back slightly, enough so her lips brushed against Korra's. she used both hands to hold the Avatar's neck lovingly and continued the slow kiss. Asami let out a shuddering breath when she broke the kiss, her eyes locked with Korra's and her heart swelled with love. She moved forward and their lips locked once again. This time Asami deepened the kiss by letting her tongue slide into the Southerner's mouth. Korra responded with a soft moan.

This time it was Korra who pulled back, her pupils dilated and she was breathing in and out fast. "I love you..." she uttered and swallowed hard. "I love you so much Asami..." she seemed out of breath, like she had been running for an hour or so.

The heiress was as breathless as her wife, her thumbs tenderly stroking Korra's cheeks. "I love you too..." and before either of them knew it, lips crashed together in a passionate kiss. The two were close to the edge of the pool and Korra gently pushed Asami against the pool's edge. Pale legs wrapped around Korra's waist, she wanted to feel her as close as possible. Her strong body and the warmth that radiated from it.

Asami felt Korra pull back but she had no time to complain. Tan lips moved over her jaw, to her neck and continued their assault there. Lovingly nipping, kissing and licking every inch of skin that came available. The water seemed to get warmer by the minute. She moved her head to the other side so Korra could pay as much attention to the other side of her neck. Slowly but surely, her own body heat rose up and she felt a faint throb between her thighs.

"Korra..." she breathed, her voice barely above a whisper. Her eyes still closed. "Don't... don't stop..." she swallowed hard, a memory rose back to the surface but did her best to push it back. She was safe. She was home and the person that kissed her, that touched her, was Korra. Would always be Korra.

Korra's lips were near Asami's ear and the lovingly brushed her lips against it. "You... sure...?" she whispered and pressed her body firmly against Asami's. She received a soft moan and slowly she rolled her hips, grinding slightly against Asami's neither region. A high pitched moan escaped the vixen.

"Ahhhhh...! y-yes... j-just... be gentle... a-and slow..."

Korra pulled back slightly to look at Asami and nodded. Sweat former on her forehead and she just watched her wife. She got turned on by Asami's moans and tried very hard to keep herself from grinding harder and faster against the vixen. "You're so beautiful baby..." she whispered, her hands slowly caressing Asami's hips, sides and stomach.

The heiress looked at her wife through lidded eyes. Her heart pounding against her ribcage. She wanted to say something to Korra, anything, but the amazing feeling that the Southerner caused between her thighs, made it impossible. Instead, she took Korra's left hand and guided it under her swimming top. She saw the deep blush on the Avatar's face and bit her lower lip. She's so adorable... she let out a soft moan when Korra gently squeezed her breast. Gods it feels amazing... she feels amazing... she thought and her hand seemed to have a mind on it's own when it moved to Korra's chest.

Korra smiled shyly when she felt Asami's hand move over her chest and tried to give her wife the space she needed to open her tight shirt. She hadn't bothered to change, unlike the vixen and had just gotten into the pool with her usual clothes. She couldn't stop a moan when a pale hand made contact with her right breast. Fingertips grazed over her hardened nipple and she was extremely thankful that she didn't put on her bindings today. "A...Asami..." she breathed, her body trembled from forcing herself not to ravage her wife.

"I... I think... I'm close... Korra... b-baby..." she mumbled softly, desperately. Her hand still on Korra's breast, her nails scraping over the tan skin. The tension in her stomach almost became unbearable. "I love you... I... Hnnn..."

They moaned together. Their eyes closed, both lost in each other as they were closing in on the edge that they both wanted to reach.

"Girls?"

Both Korra and Asami flinched and they felt like their heart had stopped beating. Cheeks flushed and chests heaving from their aroused state, they looked at Yasuko who stood several feet away. "Mom?!" Asami shrieked in embarrassment and pulled her wife against her body to try and keep her naked upper body from her mother's eyes.

"Oh... oh dear... did I... interrupt anything?" she quickly turned around, her own face carried a deep red. "I'm so sorry! I was just wondering if either of you had seen Axis! Oh dear... I'm such an idiot..." she face palmed herself with one hand and kept her eyes covered up.

Korra held her arms tightly around her wife to prevent that her mother in law would see her partly uncovered chest, if she would turn around. She took a few deep breaths to calm her heart. "S-sorry... Haven't seen her... since... well... b-breakfast..." she said and gulped, desperately trying to ignore her throbbing core. "She uh... she walked into the garden... I'm s-sure you can find her... there."

"Thank you! Well... I'll leave you two... uhm... continue..." she mumbled, clearly as embarrassed as the two young women in the pool. She left in a hurry and disappeared from sight.

Asami watched her mother run off and sighed. She looked at the Southerner and bit her lip. "I... think that... went pretty well... don't you think?" she asked softly.

Korra chuckled softly and nodded. "Y-yeah... shall we... get out of the water? We can just lay on the grass..."

Asami nodded and they straightened their clothes. Asami yelped softly when Korra lifted her out of the water, once they were done, so she could sit on the pool's edge. The Southerner got out with ease and she used her bending to dry her clothes. They walked hand in hand and laid down on the soft grass, under one of the trees. Korra sat down first, her back against the tree. Asami cuddled up against her and let her head rest on Korra's chest.

Asami let her fingers slide over Korra's hard abdomen. "I'm sorry..."

"What for...?"

"My mom... interrupting us..."

"Don't worry about it... I mean yeah... it was a bad moment... like really bad... but... if you'd like... we can continue later? When we're in bed?"

"I'd like to try... yes..." Asami said genuinely and put a hand in front of her mouth to hide a yawn. "s-sorry." She giggled.

Korra kissed Asami's hair. She used a hand to stroke the black mass and Asami's back. "Let's close our eyes for an hour or so... I uh... need to... put my mind at rest. Heh..."

The heiress nodded and already started to drift off to sleep. "Same here..." she admitted with a giggle.

They continued to cuddle a little longer before they both fell asleep under the tree.

AN: for people that are wondering, Asami is effected by her pregnancy hormones...

Yeap! That happens...

Soon... they will be going back to the South...
