A Kiss in Ba Sing Se

[A/N: This is an A/U story. The Toph character does feel inferior to Katara and so in order to compete for Aang's affections pulls out all the stops. Aang is a boy with near infinite power and is being offered love and comfort from the two girls most dear to him.

Chapter 30

Interruptus

The gentle cushion of air suspended him above his smaller lover to the point that his weight was kept to a minimum. For being so strong, right now she appeared so fragile yet so alluring to him.

He was throbbing, and even as he kissed her, he felt awkward, unsure of what to do next.

"Do I remove the top... or maybe the bottom piece?" he asked himself. "I didn't notice any latches or buttons... maybe it pulls off somehow?"

He became intensely aware that he was totally devoid of clothes, and she still had on her underwear at least, revealing as they were. The contact of their bodies made thinking virtually impossible as the heat started to rise exponentially.

Her hands moved along his sides and chest, even as she moaned at each deepening kiss. The passion was building like an overwhelming flood, and Toph felt Aang fumbling with her bra.

"Aang... latches are on the right side, or you can just rip it off," she teased, her voice a rushed whisper.

She raised her right arm as he felt for the hooks. Again he tried to navigate the mechanism and then with a sudden growl, she heard a rip and felt the fabric pull away.

The suddenness of the action caused her to cross her arms across her breast, "Twinkle Toes! I-I w-would've undone it... if you couldn't you moron! I was only playing about ripping it!"

"I said... you were irresistible tonight... and I think, I'm at my limit... my love," he informed her in a masculine voice she had not heard before.

She slowly unfolded her arms, turning her flushed face to the side. His eyes had full access as he took in the view. "Glorious," he sighed. "How can a person be this beautiful," he said rhetorically. His hand felt for her soft full hair, stroking her head.

"I'm not to heavy am I... my love?" he asked shyly, the manly tone gone.

She shook her head, "Nope... you're just right. You-you don't need to bend... I-I like the weight of you."

In response, the full mass of the airbender descended upon her. He was a lot heavier than she had assumed, causing her to have to take in a breath subtly, hoping that he wouldn't notice.

They were now, chest to chest, his heart beating into hers as she felt each breath and was aware of his anxious sighs. She hadn't realized before now how nervous he really was. This actually calmed her as she turned to face him once more.

He gazed into her face... she had acquiesced. The hunger of lust now gripped him... and having her was his sole desire. He placed his hands under her thighs and lifted her easily with a current of air while she wrapped her strong legs around him. Toph's hands locked around the back of his neck as she kissed him feverishly. Toph wasn't making this easy as she slid up and down, nibbling his large ears. The kisses were also getting fuller and hotter with every turn.

"My love... I can't hold back any more," he now declared breathlessly, moving a hand up to her breast "Can I remove them?"

Toph nodded, "Even if you have to rip them, and this time I'm serious," she seethed... licking his neck.

They both stopped moving for a moment.

"I love you" they spoke in unison.

She giggled as he blushed and they hugged again enjoying their physical closeness for one more moment.

As Aang sat back, he gently slid the panties off of her. He looked at her in in awe, and his desire rose even more. He caressed her smooth legs followed by kisses along her petite frame.

She couldn't help but to squirm a bit, not seeing what his next move was going to be. The anticipation caused her heart to pound all the more.

"Please turn over my love," he unexpectedly asked.

She paused for a moment, "Why?"

"Will you trust me?" he replied in a caring tone.

Toph smiled as she flipped over, resting her head on her folded arms. Then the the most unexpected of all little pleasures ensued. The warmest of hands, on her shoulders, massaging her as she groaned in utter ecstasy. Her eyes were about to close when she realized that he was positioned directly atop of her. She felt a throbbing under her buttocks.

"Aang... lover... do you intend to take me from the back?" she asked timidly.

"Why, would that bother you?" he replied, continuing to massage, further down her spine.

"Uh... I-I guess not... but I hear... the sandbenders do it that way... and it hurts more, for a virgin. They treat their women like..."

She felt his lips at her ear, "Like I would never treat you. You are far too precious to me. I want to see your face when we join for the first time. I just wanted to touch all of you first... calm myself... before... we join." he breathed raggedly.

She smiled, "You just finished, didn't you?"

He nodded on her shoulder, his face hot.

She placed her head back on her arms, "Well, continue the massage until little Aang is ready again."

She felt the hardening even before his breathing began to deepen. Toph rolled over with a longing smile, "About time, I thought I came all this way just for a dud," she giggled.

"What... if we do this and you get... pregnant," he expressed, outlining her cheek.

She grinned even wider, "Then my sweet Twinkle Toes, I would be the luckiest girl in all the world! I would have the second airbender in me... and you wouldn't be alone anymore."

She felt his tears fall unto her face and chest. Toph reached up and felt his face, the wetness flowing down cheeks in streams.

"Why are you crying... are you hurt? Are you sad... did I make you sad Aang? Say something wrong?"

He grabbed her hand, placing a lingering kiss upon her palm, "No... you've said everything right... more right than I... than I could ever... tell you," he cried. "I love you so much Toph... just you... only you are in my heart right now. You're my wind that lifts me to the sky..." he uttered, as he pressed his lips to hers, parting them with his tongue.

She wrapped her arms about his neck, feeling as though she was beginning to burn once more with longing, as he slowly, silently, laid butterfly kisses upon her face and neck. It was a symphony of love to her as their hearts and breathing seemed to fall into rhythm.

"Come and take me Twinkle Toes... I'm all your," she whispered heatedly, shifting her hips under him.

"This will change everything between us forever my love... there's no going back once we do this," he said, sounding rather concerned.

"Chi sex changed everything for me Twinkle Toes," she gasped. "Didn't it for you?"

Aang took in a deep breath, "I guess it did. I'm just nervous... this is my first time."

She kissed his chin, "Did you forget, mine too. You'll do just fine Aang. Does that make you feel better... more confident if I use your real name?" she asked, feeling him near the place.

"It seems then... we are in one accord, my little love," Aang breathe out slowly, moving against her opening.

She steadied herself, "It would seem we are... Aang."

"It might hurt... I think..."

Aang's words were cut off by the sweet and gentle touch of Toph's lips upon his.

"I'm ready to receive you," she replied, pushing herself under him more. "That is all you need to be concerned with right now lover. We need to be one... I'm about to explode here!"

Aang stared into her misty green eyes. He sensed such closeness to her and was aware of that the ache he knew now would end when they were one. Resistance was futile as it had been before, and all he could do now was embrace his destiny to fulfill the bond between heaven and earth.

Toph closed her eyes and sucked in her lips in expectation of the press in. Everything felt right for a moment and then... nothing.

No, pain, no pleasure... no Aang?

"Hold him there Fong," Lili's voice said, as she felt a hand take her by the arm.

"What are you doing here Lili... why are you disturbing us!" Toph yelled.

"Stopping you from making the biggest mistake of your life, as ordered by the Queen, your mother, that's what... your Majesty!" she yelled back.

Toph glowered with anger, "I'm going to bend you into the..." her words faded as she felt a needle stick into the back of her neck.

"I'm so sorry Songbird," Lili whispered. "This will temporarily block your bending... partially. You should still be able to have some limited earth sight. Believe me, I do this for your own good... you are not in your right mind. The wine... it has clouded your judgement. You have not even taken precaution to ensure you will not bear a child. You put all of us at risk. Clearly, you are not yourself."

"You Avatar, Fong has chi blocked your abilities entirely!" the countess said angrily. "You... I find no excuse for your actions! You do not drink, you are a monk of the Way of the Wind... and so should have been in control of your senses! How could you take advantage like this? If you want to become a man, experience that... she does not have to be your play..."

"She is not a plaything!" Aang barked as he laid haplessly upon the floor. "I love her more than life... and she love me!"

For the first time Lili looked over the form of the Avatar. His lean, muscular body as well as his very full... erection. Her face heated up as her emerald green eyes focused.

"Uh... still, uh... Avatar... that... uh, wow... thick... you are thick!" the countess huffed, trying to look away.

Fong followed her cousin's stare and took in a deep breath, "Oh by earth... is that real?"

"Yes it's real and it's mine," Toph shouted. "Keep your hands and whatever else you may be thinking about away from my Twinkle Toes!"

"It's a good thing you are blind cousin," Fong exclaimed, still staring in disbelief. "If we hadn't rescued you, you would have been split in two for sure."

"That was my hope," the princess said with a sigh as she crossed her arms.

"I read once at the historical archives," Lili began to speak slowly, "...airbenders were either minuscule in size, or of great girth, in the male genitalia area. I see our Avatar falls to the latter category. More the reason for you two to proceed with caution and reason. Any sexual activity will be quite evident," she told them, spotting the princess' robe.

"I think history is jaded," Aang spat, looking at her crossly. "People are different... everywhere."

"Be that as it may, your behaviors tonight has been... disgraceful," she continued, glaring at the young couple. "Princess come with me! Avatar Aang, I really don't know what more to say to you. I will speak with you tomorrow... when cooler heads prevail... both heads."

Aang sat quietly on the floor with his head down and his hands trying to maintain some semblance of modesty now. As Toph stood by her chief lady's side, Lili picked up the white robe and covered her charge, all the while glaring Aang's way.

"Please, consider your actions Master... we will speak of this again," she announced as she guided Toph to the exit. "Fong, take care of him and close the passage after we leave. Attend to his needs... just the basics... I know you have no experience in the other."

Fong bowed, "Yes countess, as you command. I'll meet you back at the suite as soon as I am done here. Rest assured Princess, I will not violate him. I, like you, am a Bei Fong... and I am a virgin." the brown eyed lady told her.

"Aang... Twinkle Toes, I love you," Toph said sadly, "I'm so sorry."

He looked up, "I love you too Toph... but I'm not sorry. This has been the best night of my life," he said with a warm smile.

Her chest felt tight at his words and she could only nod as she was led into the passage.

As they walked in silence, she could smell the wax of torch burning in the countess' hand. Like Lili had said, her earth sight was limited, but she could still see him... and Fong.

"How did you know Lili?" she asked, breaking the dreary quiet of the walk.

The countess sighed, "With you drinking that much, even sweet wine, I thought it wise to check on you this evening Songbird," Lili informed her in a scolding tone. "As I suspected, you were gone from the suite. It wasn't hard to surmise where you had scurried off to. I dare say that seemed to be a very compromising position we found you in. I didn't see any evidence... but, are you still... intact?"

Toph walked ahead of her cousin, a bit embarrassed, "Yes Lili... like all good heroes, you arrived just in time."

Her voice softened, "Very good cousin... just remember, he can ask for your hand and then you can know the riches of loves openly. Don't let lust rob you."

"Lili, I know you have a mission and an appointment from my mom... but why? Why not jut tell her, or just let us be... wouldn't either course be easier?"

"Yes Princess... either would be easier, but..." her cousin paused, "...but you see, you and Fong are Bei Fongs. You never were traded for land or titles like we Soo Hahns. Fong's father is a disgraced Vice Count... but still no one is going to make her a concubine or a consort to anyone... he's just too damn rich. Even during the war, you traveled to the Fire Nation colonies... I just went along as your companion even then. Lei and I... were given to Kuei as concubines in exchange for titles and land. When she didn't perform, her family didn't receive the title... and she became a courtesan. On the other hand... I did my duty and when he was tired of me... I was made a courtesan... but with a title."

Toph could hear her cousin's voice cracking as she spoke, she could hear the pain resonating as it went on.

"People make fun of Mei Mei, but all she did was fall in love with a Fire Nation boy. They really loved each other... and like you and Aang, took it to the next level. Her father found out and sent her to the palace. Said if she wanted to pleasure men, it might as well be Earth Kingdom men. Her love was killed, ironically... by the Avatar. I pray you don't tell him. He was a sailor in the northern fleet. His ship was sunk in that battle at the North Pole... all hands lost. Mei Mei was heartbroken when she got the news from a mutual friend... started screwing any man around. It was really sad."

"Lili I didn't know..." Toph started.

"Save the sympathy for someone else," the countess said standing erect. "You, my princess, hold not only your own fate and life, but that of multitudes in your hands. You cannot afford to be so frivolous in your decisions. Especially not in this matter because others will eventually pay the price. Please hear me out... try to understand. You are young and I know you have faced death, but now, it is time you face up to life, and that can be harder.

Toph said nothing, only bowed her head in submission. She could still see him moving about down in his room, but allowed Lili with a hand on her back, to lead her further down the passage, as his image faded.

Fong helped the nude young man to his feet, trying not to gaze as his abundant erect appendage.

"Th-that must be rather uncomfortable... well I hear it is... from men... they have told me," she mumbled nervously.

"I'll live," Aang stated bluntly, as the reality of his loss began to weigh heavy on him.

Fong watched as his gray eyes began to glisten and then stream with tears.

"I'll get your nightshirt your Grace," she offered.

"Don't wear one... I just sleep in my shorts," he answered, wiping at his eyes.

"Okay... no nightshirt... just shorts... and they are in?"

Aang pointed to the drawers at the bottom of the wardrobe.

"Ah, yes... of course your Grace, that would make sense," she said timidly, retrieving the red trunks.

"You should, eh... before you put these on... so that they are not soiled," Fong spoke out with great difficulty, "I think you should relieve yourself... it is understandable under the circumstances and of no shame. I-I will get you a towel and ointment... or whatever else..."

"Toph, will you get me Toph?" he asked cynically. "I hunger for her... my lady... I want nothing else... so you don't need to offer me anything or anyone else... do I make myself clear," he snapped.

Fong stepped back, "I understand your Grace, but she can't be at your disposal. I can only offer you..."

Aang now looked up into the lady's face, "You look like her, what is your name?"

"Fong Bei Fong, your Grace, we are first cousins on her father's side."

"You know chi blocking... where did you learn that?"

"I trained in the Fire Nation colony school and I was eventually sent to the Royal Fire Nation Academy for Girls. My father was an ex-patriot. He thought the Fire Nation was going to win the war. When they discovered you, he came back to the Earth Kingdom, but I had to become a lady of the court as trade. Guaranteeing his loyalty this time."

"So... lady of the court Fong... when will my bending come back?"

She shrugged, "It depends... but a strong bender, about a half an hour or less... I'd say mush less for you. You probably have some ability now."

"Well... let's find out," Aang said as he waved his hand, send a blast of air, pinning her to the wall. "I guess you're right... much less."

"Please... your Grace... the pressure... it hurts," she begged, straining at the force.

He stopped as she dropped to her feet and then to her hands and knees, gasping.

"Oops, sorry... hard to control... must be an after effect of the blocking," he said insincerely.

Fong was on her knees shaking, "Your Grace... do you... require... my... assistance... any... further?"

"If you can't bring my love to me... then what good are you?" he questioned her. "You may look like her... but you are far from her Lady Fong Bei Fong... so... please leave me alone. "

He watched her stand, using the wall for balance, "Your condition... your Grace... how do you..."

"It was like a rage that ignited within him as he flew into her, pressing her back into the wall, "What does my... condition matter to you? You and that damn countess caused this condition! If you keep bringing it up, it makes me think you want to remedy it yourself... is that the reason you keep asking about it... Fong Bei Fong?' he snarled.

Her bright brown eyes now met his, "Yes... Aang... yes... I want to be your remedy! Please let me be... what she cannot be to you!"

He backed away, "Get out," he said quietly, pointing at the door. "Please, just get out Fong, " he wept as his jaw shook in anguish.

She bowed her head and left the room, her tears falling as freely as his.
