Chapter 61

Coitus and Conversation

"UUUUGGGHHHHH!" Lao groaned loudly as his face contorted and his teeth clenched tightly together as his body strained and his hips drove down a finally time.

The look on the queen's face was almost one of amusement as she stared up into her husband's twisted features, her legs locked around his sweating back.

"Oh Lao... you're the best... oh yeah, you're such a stud. That's the spot baby... I'm cumming now," she exclaimed in a heated, sultry voice that did not match her cool expression.

A smile crept across his face as his eyes slowly opened. "I guess... a morning quickie really doesn't do it for you anymore, hey Poppy my dear?" he panted as he rolled off of her and unto his back.

The naked woman stretched with a long moan. "Obviously, not as much as it does for you," she giggled, finally turning to her side to look at him. "But I must say, it was a good and vigorous effort. All, uh... one and a half minutes. A bit longer and I might have gotten into it too."

He frowned as his eyes shifted up. "Damn, I thought it was at least two," he sighed as he wiped the sweat from his brow with both hands. "If you weren't so sexy, I might have held out longer. No one should look as good as you do first thing in the day."

She grinned boldly. "Oh you do flatter an old woman like me so milord. Does this really have to end now? I mean... you have just gotten me started," she sighed deeply letting a finger trace after a bead of sweat that ran down the center of his chest.

His cheeks flushed as he cleared his throat. "Unfortunately my queen, my schedule just won't allow it. It is so damn tight and with our upcoming coronation..."

She gripped his softening penis firmly letting her long fingers dance around it. "I'm tight too... that's why you ended so fast. Stay with me and I will revive him. That's why I don't mind times like this. It helps you clear your mind and I know you're coming to me instead of one of those... attendants. Please Lao, just a little more time. It will be all the sweeter," she pleaded as his body twitched from the fading sensitivity.

He looked lovingly at her. "You are the best wife in the world my dear... and... I wish I were 20 years younger, but I cannot. So many people are depending on me," he concluded sorrowfully.

Poppy spun to lay her head upon his thigh. "Don't worry about such a small thing as age... my king," she replied licking at the dribbling exposed tip of his flaccid, hooded, member and causing him to pant. "Oh... and I wanted to tell you that your daughter his going on a date... um, tonight I think."

Before the queen could service him anymore, Lao had pulled her up by her shoulders so that they were face to face. "What! W-with who... whom?" he stuttered trying to wrap the caustic thought around his clouded mind. "What is this madness you speak woman! We just got her back!"

Poppy shyly diverted her eyes away from his. "Milord... such, fierce vexation over such a trivial matter. She is of age to make decisions like this and fathers..." She suddenly felt his grip tightened further and was aware that since the war he had maintained his training. She whined slightly still not giving him eye contact.

"Details woman, who is this... boy, man... or woman?" he demanded pulling her closer.

"Young man... but he is no mere young man milord," she gasped cinching her narrow shoulders together as if in pain from his grip. "It is one you know very well. One who said he had no interest in our little pumpkin, right to your very face."

Lao gritted his teeth as he pushed his wife back down on the bed. "The Avatar! That lying sonofabitch! I knew it! He had designs on her all along, especially since she has become the princess! I'll have him thrown..."

His ranting was broken up by his wife's distinctive giggling. "Why are you laughing Poppy? I thought you would be beside yourself. That scoundrel who took our girl away from us is attempting to do it again!"

She caught her breath as she held her stomach. "Oh Lao, it's not what you think! You're so predictable!"

He was fuming now. "Predictable? How am I being predictable? Did you tell me a joke just to see how I would respond?" he asked grinding his teeth.

She was still chuckling away. "Oh, no dear, no joke. The Avatar and our daughter are planning to have a date... but he had nothing to do with it. The poor boy, he was simply a victim of circumstances I am told."

The Earth King's eyebrow arched. "Victim of circumstance... how?"

Poppy sat up on the bed crossing with her legs apart. "Well, he was the prize of a bet between your crafty daughter and that little beauty of a waterbender. Evidently, the two of them got into a bit of a ruckus. Naturally being your daughter, she lured the poor girl into betting her most valued possession... her boyfriend, the Avatar. It was decided that he would host her on a date since she has never been on a such a thing."

Lao stroked his chin as he heard the report. "Shrewd... she does come by it naturally. But, this date thing. What if he takes advantage of her? She is still inexperienced in the ways of men and he... he has the experience of ages. I don't like it," he replied emphatically.

The queen hissed sharply as her fingers parted her labia and began to stroke her raised clitoris. "No need to worry about her. I really don't think they are compatible. Ooh this feels good... are you sure you can't rearrange at least an hour?"

He shook his head without removing his eyes. "Sadly no. B-but, what makes you think they are not compatible Poppy?"

She let a finger dip within her and gave him a naughty wink before answering. "When the waterbender told him he would have to take our girl on a date, your Avatar buddy apparently got upset and it took some persuasion for him to come around to the idea."

Toph's father's face darkened. "That punk! He doesn't think my daughter is good enough for him? She's too good for that peasant!" he yelled shaking his fist into the air.

Her face was fully flushed and her gasps were trembling as her feet kicked at the satin sheets. "I love it when you get all... kingly!" she gasped as her fingers strummed her clit more intensely until her back arched high into the air and she let out several heavy pants with each heave. "By the way... it wasn't that he thought himself too good. He didn't want to cheat on his current girlfriend. You know, that little thing called integrity. So, they agreed he would be Pumpkin's for a day, with stipulations. That way no cheating. Of course as her father, you should also speak to him. He is a man."

Lao stood transfixed as he watched her climax, his own face cherry red. "Of-of course... and... well I guess that explains everything," he stuttered.

"Don't just stand there you idiot," she exclaimed as she rolled over raising her haunches up to him. "Enter me... your cock has recovered!"

He looked down and saw that he was indeed at full staff. She felt him stab deeply within as their hips slapped together. Her sharp nails tore into the sheets even as she bit the pillow her head was laying on. "Spank me!" she demanded now.

Without hesitation he slapped her ivory white butt cheek as hard as he could. It left a full red stinging hand print and he heard her seethed in hard.

"Again! I'm almost there!" Poppy moaned as he struck the other one with equal force producing the same results. Suddenly from within her, he felt her orgasm seize her and she began to savagely rock into him. He had to grab her long thick hair and her shoulder just to stay mounted.

It finally subsided and Lao was left breathless. Her incredible strength in such a small body had always amazed him.

"The strap, get the leather strap..." she respired rapidly turning with a wicked grin to look into his eyes. "I want more!"

Mai moaned lightly as she scratched at the back of her neck, under her loosely fallen hair. Sleep for the most part was just loosening it's grip on her as she started to shift around on this narrow mattress she was apparently lying on. Small, warm puffs of air were falling on the top of her head at regular intervals as if to lull her back into the realm of the nocturnal. She then noticed that her mattress was cresting and declining in time to these puffs.

"Strange coincidence," she thought with a slight smile trying to shift her hips more up on the unusual bedding.

The stiffness in her joints surprised her but not as much as the revelation that there was something, though very soft, yet apparently very large, filling her pudenda. The sensation of movement as she flexed sent string of small tremors through her core. Now, like a curtain lifting on an opening act of a symphony, the memories of the past evening leading up to her current situation and she now was able to give name to her body pillow.

"Sokka," she slowly sighed out even as her golden eyes began to breach and fill with the light of early dawn. The weight of his arms around her, pinned her to his barrel chest that she found remarkably comfortable. Mai was almost poised to return to her dream land but her hips seemed to have taken on a life of their own.

They were flexing back and forth, ever so carefully as to not disengage from their prize, but also swiveling enough as to try and stuff more of the enormous brown sausage deeper in.

"What am I doing?" she thought as the erotic sensation began to build. "I'm going to end up waking him and he'll think I'm some kind of nymphomaniac, taking advantage of him in his sleep!"

As much as she tried to focus, her body seemed to carry out the opposite instruction finally bearing down on him until the flaccid organ bent at the base, nearly falling away.

She froze in place, until she could feel his position and then secured him back in the slippery bay.

"That was close," she whispered.

"Yeah... it was," he replied.

Her eyes sprang open to gaze into his face, fixing on his bright blue eyes. She thought of the morning sky or a crystal lake as she stared into them and her heart began to pound.

"You are so beautiful... your eyes are like the bluest sea... you are the prettiest man I've ever seen," she said with a quirky little smile.

He rolled both of them over as he took the dominate position. "Don't you mean ruggedly handsome?" he asked giving his best manly expression.

She playfully shook her head feeling him stiffening inside of her. "Nope... you're too good looking to be handsome. I think pretty is definitely the word," she responded matter-of-factually as he began to pout. "That is unless... you care to demonstrate otherwise?"

He shook his head violently, "Didn't I already prove myself last night... and earlier this morning, before the sun rose? What more do you want?" he asked starting to move deeper in her.

Mai's entire body was shaking. "I know you've been holding back. Treating me like some little fragile doll. What is it Sokka... is something wrong. You don't think I can handle all of you? I see the flames burning in your eyes and feel your arousal beating within me... is this not so?"

"Oh yeah," he confirmed huskily. "I want to bury myself so far in you that you'll feel me for weeks... no, months to come."

"Then we have the same want milord... tear me asunder!"she exclaimed pulling her legs higher so that her knees were beside her head.

Sokka gazed at her reaction with obvious surprise. Her amber eyes were filled with hunger as she cocked her head back slightly to the side anticipating the worst... or the best. Her mixture of lust and anxiety made the moment that much more exhilarating in both their minds. He felt the warmth of her heavy breathing go across his face and it still smelled of the rice wine she had been drinking the time before.

"Anxious are we... milady? he quipped. "Maybe a kiss for the enchanted one... hmm?" he asked coyly tracing his fingers along her toned abdomen until he felt the fleshy damp mound that seemed to be pulsing in time with his strokes.

Her eyes turned to capture his. "If I wanted tongue play, you would have awoken to a breakfast of pussy. Do I make myself clear, milord? I have asked for your best staff play! Is that so much to ask? I mean... Suki handles it regularly and can still walk, right" she said as her voice began to crack. "In fact, she looks like the happiest woman in the world after she's been with you. Just this once, this one more time... okay... to sate our lusts, okay? This is our last opportunity isn't it?"

Sokka watched the tears roll out of the sides of her glistening amber eyes. She sounded almost as if she were begging him and he didn't want that. "You know Mai... in the ruins, I touched you because I wanted you so much I just could take it anymore," he confessed. "I-I knew I was wrong... knew I was betraying..."

"Shh," she prompted him putting a finger to her lips. "We agreed last night... no guilt. One night.. and only one night... right?" she reminded him. "It was all for the greater good, don't you think so?"

"Greater good... my life... I hope so," he retorted rocking forward to fill her. "Wasn't so long ago you would have ended this life."

"Never...," she sighed in bliss. "I had thought to do this in the bed at least after the garden," she remarked with a glance over at the enormous bed. "But I guess the wine and the moment got the best of me. I bet if you carry me, we can make it there just like this, joined together."

He smiled, "Maybe we can, you're pretty strong. But do you really want me to go all out right now Mai?" he asked solemnly.

Her smile dropped and she seemed to look past him., "Do you? I already told you what I want to do and it seems you're always holding the best back from me. You told me I was strong and beautiful and yet you're being so timid. Forget it. Do as you please milord. This is our final time and the memory will be what..."

He kissed the middle of her chest and pressed up until his face was at the same level as hers.

"I don't think you believe that," he expressed putting more weight on her. "I was just giving you a moment to think this through again. I'm here to do anything you want." he professed speaking softly into her ear. "And if you want a pounding... so be it milady!"

Her smile returned as she turned to face him, "I don't need to think about this any further pretty man... I need you to pound me!"

Mai struck him in the hips with her heels driving him down on her with considerable force. Her nails bit hard into his shoulders as he arched his back from the pain pushing down even harder.

Suddenly they froze. Her eyes were opened as wide as they could and her mouth agape as she shook beneath him. Mai's powerful thighs held him firmly trying to keep him from moving in any further.

"Are you okay?" he said breathlessly feeling her tension and viewing the look on her face. "I'm in pretty deep... almost three quarters I think."

She patted his chest. "Give me a moment... never thought... being a girl... I'd know what it would feel like to be racked,"she seethed through her tightly clinched teeth. "I think you hit... my womb with that... monster."

Suki stretched out on the chaise in her normal cat-like fashion. She had spent the night in the Fire Lord's suite reading scrolls and sipping drinks until they both fell asleep.

She looked over at him passed out in a high-back chair, lightly snoring away.

"Look at Lord Gullible sleeping away like a wee babe," she jested to herself. "I tell him that his girlfriend is fronting him off, and he says... 'of course, she was angry with me, that's all. She knew you would come to my rescue and her kissing Sokka would piss me off. I know how she thinks.' Yeah, right, you have everything figured out. I wonder what you would say if you caught them in bed together... 'have a nice nap?' Good thing Katara had him under close guard last night or no telling what those two would be doing," she pondered with a deep scowl.

The Fire Lord shifting around to get a more comfortable position caught her attention. He was shirtless, apparently taking it off sometime in the night. The cut of his muscles were very pronounced and she let out a low whistle in admiration. His face was turned scar side up but that never bothered her. She had often positioned herself to stare at it, tracing the raised areas in her mind. Somehow in her thoughts, she believed it was the root of his character. But now something else more prominent caught her attention.

A Zuko was slouched down in the chair, his legs positioned wide apart and his morning erection was at full height in his loose fitting pajamas. The Kyoshi warrior was at first a little shocked and then she smiled realizing they were completely alone.

"Wonder what he would do if I helped myself to a piece of that," she mused. "He'd probably get madder than a swarm of buzzard-wasps at noon day. Oh well," she sighed nestling back under her blanket, "That's what I get for being horny and having no man with me... or woman. I'll just have to take care of myself," she thought letting her hands slip between her legs as her fingers found familiar places. "He does make great subject matter for this work. This should take no time at all," she hissed with delight.

Suddenly to her surprise and increase pleasure, Zuko slipped a hand into his bottoms, and she watched as it seemed to be grasping his pillar.

"Oh by the spirits, can this get any better," Suki breathed out in a low whisper. Her nub was already feeling engorged as the wetness flowed over to her thigh. Every touch was sending bolts of ecstasy through her as her blue-green eyes closed halfway in expectation of the climax.

She was now aware that he was groaning, mumbling something as well. Suki strained to hear as the firebender was fidgeting more in his sleep.

"Sss... Suki... my Shorty," he clearly said just as she witnessed his pajamas, at the point of the morning woody, go damp. Not just a little... but enough to cause them to stick to him. With every ejaculation... he repeated her name.

The Fan Master was breathing hard now but all thought of her own orgasm had disappeared. Her eyes were glistening with tears as she saw him slowly awaken and then panic as he realized what occurred in his sleep. Before he could look her way, she feigned to be asleep, peeking from under the blanket at him.

Zuko sat back in his chair in relief observing the spot and recalling his very wet dream. "Oh Shorty... these are suppose to stop when you're a man with a woman. If you only knew what you do to me. You come here and treat me like I'm one of the girls and I have to fight with everything in my power not to take you and show you that I'm a man. But then I think, what if. You're so... so, very beautiful and you treat me as if I didn't have eyes or... desires," he exclaimed in a low voice as not to wake her, breathing in sharply. "Just sitting next to you and your smell, drives me wild. I know we said we would be like brother and sister, honor our partners... all that shit, but... my dreams don't lie. Would you have agreed to be my sister if you knew what I did with my real sister, who we became to each other... why she ended up hating me so? To me... you're just like her when you tease me. Flirt and flash... that's how it started with her, until..."

She watched as he bit at his lower lip and gazed up at the high ornate ceiling lost in bitter remembrance. She thought for a moment of coming out from under the cover but then she noticed his pained expression and the big dollop like tears that streamed across his cheeks.

Zuko shook his head and wiped his eyes. "I-I care too much for you Shorty to cross that line like I did with Azula. I'm the one that made her lose her mind... even she's forgotten that, mercifully. I never want to hurt you or change you," he softly expressed with a smile through his tears. "I don't want to ruin us, even if it means keeping our distance. I've never known anyone like you. You are my special girl... my precious Shorty," he whispered solemnly and with such tenderness that her heart started to beat frenetically.

As he stood and started for the bathroom carefully angling away from her, she could feel his eyes steadily watching her. Suki waited until she heard the door totally close before she broke down in full sobs. "By Kyoshi... what have I done!"

Aang and Toph laid motionless as they felt the tug on the covers and the mattress sink. It was almost like a long pause before an explosion with everyone holding their breath but the only thing that followed was...

"Hmmmrrrzzzz..." they heard as the waterbender snuggled into her pillow.

Toph could scarcely believe it. "Don't move Twinkle Toes. She may be playing possum-rat. You know how Sugar Queen likes the dramatics," she whispered to him. "Let me check it out."

The little earthbender inched over and softly laid a hand on Katara's back. The human lie-detector immediately knew that she was really out cold.

Toph breathed out a sigh of relief before giving her anxious lover the all clear.

Before she could make her escape back to the far side of the bed and the safety of Aang's waiting arms, a loud moan rose up behind her like some ominous bellow. Toph tried to scramble away but it was too late. To Toph, she felt as though some fearsome creature from the depths of the sea with two strong arms had reached out with inhuman speed and ensnared her from the void, dragging her back into the breast of the snoring beast.

Having captured her prey, the slumbering. drooling, waterbender released a contented sigh, throwing a leg over her as well to guarantee no possibility of escape.

"No Toph... no!" Aang heatedly, in a hushed voiced, called after her as she was being swallowed up.

She put the edge of her hand up to her mouth so that he would be quiet and not awaken the slumbering princess catcher. Aang created a thin cushion of air under him so that he could drift closer to her without disturbing the bed. Toph was totally surprised when his lips pressed into hers.

"Aang... how? You're gonna wake Queen Snooze-a-Lot here," she warned nodding her head back.

"It's alright my love," he replied kissing her once more. "I'm floating above the bed and I'm blocking our voices. You just have to stay still and not speak too loudly. She might feel you talking."

Toph gave a slow nod that she understood.

He took in a deep breath. "So what do we do now," he asked staring into her foggy green eyes. "I think now is the ideal time to just tell her and let's get this charade over with. I mean... she may scream and cry a bit but in the long run..."

A deep frown came upon the earthbender's face as she shook her head. "No," she whispered. "Remember... my cousins, our deal."

Aang sighed as he dropped his head. "Forgive me. I was just thinking about us and I forgot all about them my love. I know you care for your cousins and don't want to see them punished because of you and me," he said as he rubbed his eyes. "I'll go to my room and get ready for the day. Hopefully, your dad will have answered our petition by then and we can tell everyone. Anyways, we'll meet up and continue later... okay?"

She smiled pensively giving him a slight nod. Toph then shooed him away, but not before he laid on her a mind bending tongue twister of a kiss.

As she heard the passage open and close, her heart sank in her chest and she let out a huge sigh, relaxing back into her captor.

"Katara... Katara...," Toph said as she lightly elbowed her.

The waterbender's eyes slowly creased open. "Huh... what is it baby girl?" she asked tightening her hug in a mock stretch.

"I gotta go pee," the princess whispered with a cheesy grin over her shoulder.

With that she was instantly set free and she bounded out of the bed shuffling off to the bathroom.

She could hear her yawning cohort close behind. This was nothing new and totally expected on Katara's part. Fortunately there were multiple commodes in the bathroom as Toph took her seat. She went to take down her panties and realized that Aang and made short work of them earlier and that they laid somewhere in the room.

"Damn!" she exclaimed out loud.

"What was that Toph?" Katara asked from the next stall over.

"Uh, nothing Sweetness. It's just that the panties I had on last night, that stupid tie-string snapped. I don't know where they are and I hope Aang or Sokka didn't see them... or worse... do something perverted." she exclaimed in her best panicked voice.

"Don't worry, I'll look for them when we get out of here," the waterbender replied with a slight grunt.

Toph figured Katara was taking a dump as well and the smells that followed confirmed it. "Whew girl... warn somebody before you pinch one off!" Toph yelled as she fanned the air.

"Sorry, not quite all awake yet," the blue-eyed woman replied letting more loose. "I'll light some incense, it'll take the smell out."

"I don't think a forest fire could fix this smell Sugar Queen," the earthbender quipped as she exited her stall. "Skunk-bears don't smell this bad!.

"Ha-ha... very funny Toph, like your shit doesn't stink," she replied lighting a few incense sticks provided in the stall as she exited.

The precocious princess turned around and put on her signature wide grin standing outside the commodes. "You should know Sugar Queen, I pride myself on such things," she boasted.

The ambassador rolled her big blues. "Ew, no matter how they dress you up, you're still gross Toph!"

The earthbender started to laugh. "No matter what Sweetness, ya gotta be true to yourself!"

"Is that why you were screwing my boyfriend last night?" Katara suddenly asked, her voice tone as flat as Mai's.

Toph's grin slowly faded as her heart skipped a beat. "I thought we had this all out last night. You know the danger we both were in... Katara," she answered back just as toneless.

The waterbender stepped closer to her.

"Careful Suga, we're not in water like last night," Toph warned as the ground rumbled slightly under them.

The corner of Katara's lip lifted. "I don't want a fight sister. I just want what's mine," she declared continuing to draw nearer.

The petite general held her ground. "What do you mean... what's yours. You know what we faced last night and why I did what I..."

"Sure, sure... fuck or die, I got that part Toph," Katara retorted now right on top of her. "I can't really hold you responsible for that. In fact I'm grateful that you saved his life. I even restored you. You're a maiden again. You can check it out for yourself," she informed her with a wicked grin.

Toph's jaw dropped and she hugged the waterbender's neck. "Oh, Katara! Thank you so much! I didn't know how I was going to explain what happened to my mom and dad. You're a lifesaver!" she said in a warm tone but with a deep sneering grimace over the taller woman's shoulder.

Katara swallowed hard not expecting this kind of reaction as she hugged her back. "Ah, you're welcome Toph. I didn't know it would mean so much to you."

The earthbender squeezed her harder. "You don't know how much it means Sweetness."

"Toph... you're ch-choking me," the ambassador gasped tapping out on the princess' arms.

"Oh... sorry Sweetness, my bad, I was just so happy!" she lied as she donned her fake smile.

Katara took a step back rubbing her neck. "That's okay. I can kind of understand your relief. I'm glad I could help," she sighed with a warm smile.

Toph cocked her head to the side, her expression appearing a bit darker. "Say Suga, how did you know how to fix me... seal back my maidenhead. I mean, I don't think this is something they teach regularly in that fancy healing school... do they?" she asked feeling the waterbenders heartbeat starting to race. "Did you have prior experience..."

"What! Prior experience? No... that's crazy talk Toph," the healer denied even as the human-lie detector knew that she had. "I-I just tried it, an-and it worked... okay?"

Toph decided not to press her for more information. "Well, it worked and that's good enough for me Suga. Thank you again and oh, what were you saying before about getting yours?" she asked smiling brightly once more.

"Oh yeah," Katara replied as she took her by the shoulders and kissed her. Toph felt the warm tongue rush into her mouth, searching out her own as the forceful suction took her breath away. But there was something more. She also felt a surge... a flow like she felt with Aang, but nowhere near as strong. Her arms were now pinned to her side as Katara embraced her, continuing the oral assault that was making her head spin and her body hot.

She felt a stream dripping down her inner thigh even as the blue-eyed woman broke for air and then resumed the core melting kiss. Toph could feel a hand tightly grasp her buttocks as her resistance began to wane. Her arms were again around Katara's neck as she was reflecting the fervor that enveloped her.

The two young women heads twisted and turned as they moaned and seethed in a maelstrom of kisses. Toph's hand pressed between them finding Katara breast, amply exposed in the thin nightgown. She let her finger tips roll the waterbender's stiff nipple firmly until the woman began to shudder. Katara likewise raised up the princess' gown in the back so that she had hold of her bare behind, kneading her cheeks apart.

They paused as they heard someone clear her throat.

"Oh, sorry for the intrusion your Majesty, Lady Katara. It's always good to see sisters such as yourselves, deepen their bonds and extend the depths of their love. Eh, is this a private affair or can any one join in?" Mei Mei inquired eying the heavily panting waterbender. "I can assure you, I have lots of love to give."
