Korra thanked the ferry attendant as she stepped onto the dock. She looked around and noticed that the docks were busier than usual but she wasn't that surprised. The sun was setting, casting an orange glow to the sky and the street lamps were flicking on one by one. It was a prime time for a romantic boat ride out in the bay of Republic City. Korra spied several couples boarding on a pleasure boat, each one wearing extravagant clothing that bragged of their class. She felt an impulse of taking Lin and Asami out on one of those boats, or perhaps having a nice picnic in Korra Park. Well away from the statue of course.

The Avatar walked leisurely under the comforting street lamps, humming Nuktuk's theme song to herself. She didn't particularly enjoyed the movers, Korra thought they were a bit over the top, but the song did have a catchy tune. She ignored the tantalizing aromas coming from the small shacks and restaurants that were opening up for the night life. Korra was on a mission and she wasn't going to be distracted, even if those squid being grilled were being spiced up with garlic and butter that would make the flesh melt in her mouth.

After buying a squid to munch on her walk, she made her way deeper into Republic City. Korra finished off her snack quickly and almost backtracked to get another one but restrained herself. What was it about going on personal missions made her so hungry? She was almost as bad as Bolin. Korra made a grimace at that thought.

She walked up to the crest of a hill and looked up at the sky. Korra could see the portal she accidentally created during her final battle with Kuvira rise and disappear into some clouds. After that first time, she never had the inclination to go through the portal. There was so much to be done after all the reconstruction of Republic City and relocating the citizens whose homes were destroyed by Kuvira or were overtaken by the new spirit vines. If Korra narrowed her eyes, she could just make out the barricade that prevented the public from going near the portal. Spirits came and went as they pleased but humans weren't allowed to enter the Spirit World. Korra shuddered as she remembered the nightmare of having to deal with President Raiko and that sleazy businessman who wanted to turn the portal into some kind of amusement park. The Avatar had been pushed hard that day and it wasn't a good day to begin with. Lin had came to her rescue before Korra could do something that might end up getting her exiled again. The Chief had stated in more brusque terms that it was a ludicrous idea to allow humans into the Spirit World for mere entertainment. It may anger the spirits and we all saw what happened when a spirit was pissed. Her words and not-so-subtle threat had won that fight and the Police Department was charged with securing and maintaining a perimeter around the new portal. Korra never properly thanked Lin for her help. Maybe she get her something but she didn't really know what Lin would like, besides metal to bend with. Perhaps Korra could take Lin on a vacation and Asami too. Both women deserved it and Korra was getting itchy from staying in one place for too long. Traveling the world really made her dislike the docile life. They could go to the Fire Nation, the idea came to Korra as swiftly as a fireferret. Asami did have to figure out where to put those tracks after all.

Korra stopped walking as she reached her destination, her goal springing back to the forefront of her mind. She marveled at the Sato headquarters for a bit as she tried to calm herself. Korra hadn't seen Asami or Lin for a week. Every night Korra was plagued by some very interesting dreams of the two women. Plague probably wasn't the correct word but she started to see them when she was awake. The tipping point was her meditation session that afternoon. Tenzin was droning on and on about something or other and all Korra could think about was Asami's mischievous eyes and Lin's smirk when they had took turns kissing her after their first date.

Korra ended those thoughts as she felt her body heat up. She ignored the budding flame inside her and she took the steps two at a time in her haste. Korra waved to the person behind the desk in the lobby and said she was going to see Asami. The man nodded and wrote something down before gesturing to the elevators placed at the back end of the lobby. One amazing thing about being the Avatar is that most people didn't question her motivations when she arrived unannounced. Usually.

Once the doors finally opened at the top floor, Korra stepped out and breathed a sigh of relief from escaping the terrible elevator music. She should talk to Asami about fixing that. Korra halted in front of the doors to Asami's office. She noticed that the mechanic had fixed the hole the Avatar had created the last time she was here. Korra could hear Asami's voice from the other side of the door and the woman sounded agitated. She opened the door slightly and peaked inside.

Asami held the phone in one hand and was scribbling down something with the other. "Yes, I understand that time is of the essence, Varrick! But we can't just lay down tracks wherever we want. There are rules!" She listened to whatever Varrick was saying with a frown. "No! Just-" Asami took a deep breath and Korra felt a pang of pity. Varrick wasn't a man who backed down but neither was Asami. "Put Zhu Li on." She waited for a moment before speaking again, her voice much more calm. "I'm having a biologist be flown to the Fire Nation as we speak. I already informed him where we would like to put the pillars for the train's bridge. If he says no, then we can't build on those areas. It's as simple as that." Zhu Li said something and Asami looked relieved at the words. "Thank you, Zhu Li. I'll see you in a few days." The relief was short-lived. "No, tell Varrick he cannot bring a journalist to the meeting. This whole project is supposed to be as tight-lipped as possible. If another company catches word that we're trying to bring the Satostation to the Fire Nation, they might strike first." Asami listened to Zhu Li's response and nodded. "Thank you again, Zhu Li. I don't know how you manage Varrick but I'm glad you're here to talk sense to him." She said her goodbyes and hung up the phone. She jumped at the knock on her door and smiled when she saw it was Korra. "Hey, what are you doing here?" Asami glanced at the phone. "You didn't happen to hear that, did you?"

Korra walked inside the office and ignoring the chairs in front of Asami's desk, walked right behind the woman and looked over the woman's head at the notes. She soon lost interest and focused on the questions. "Yeah, I heard. And I wanted to see you."

Asami chuckled and grabbed one of Korra's hands to kiss. She didn't miss the blush on Korra's face and made note to do the action more. Korra looked exceptionally beautiful when she blushed.

"Are you okay?" Korra asked, gesturing to the phone.

"It's Varrick," Asami grumbled, leaning into her chair. She tried to swivel it so she was facing Korra but a hand on the chair stopped the motion. Asami didn't question it as she continued. "He wants to speed up the project but he's not used to dealing with all the tiny details like laws and regulations. He might have paid off officials to look the other way but I'm not going to do the same." She gave the phone a nasty look before tilting her head up to look at Korra. "I don't want to talk about work anymore. How are you?"

"Bored," Korra answered. She looked down and noticed how Asami's shoulders were tensed. Worried she was overstepping her bounds but not having the willpower to stop herself, Korra placed her hands on Asami's shoulders. When the older woman made no complaint, Korra began to gently knead the flesh, frowning at the knots. She worked at them as gently as she could and almost smirked when Asami murmured something and melted into her touch. Korra put a little more pressure into her massage and Asami responded with a hum and her eyes fluttered shut. Korra smiled and continued to work at her shoulders as she commented, "You're really responsive, Asami."

The older woman opened an eye slightly as she responded, "Lin's worse." Asami straightened in her chair so Korra could touch more of her comfortably. "I can't give her a massage without it leading into some fun." The sultry grin she gave Korra made it obvious what kind of 'fun' she was talking about.

Korra gulped and didn't know what to say to that.

The sudden silence made Asami move out of Korra's fingers. She looked at the younger woman in concern. "What's wrong?"

Korra ground her teeth together as she considered whether to ask her question or not. When she looked at Asami and saw how patiently she was looking at her, Korra decided to go through with it. "I want to talk about you and Lin's relationship." Asami's eyes narrowed in confusion and Korra was quick to clarify. "I can't wrap my head around it. How in the world did you two end up together but not together during those three years I was… gone?"

Asami's eyebrow rose at the description of her relationship with Lin but she had to admit Korra did have a fair point. If anyone had told her that she would be dating the Chief of Police three years ago, Asami would have probably laughed and tell the person that they should lay off the bottle. "It's a long and honestly a rather confusing story," Asami admitted. She gestured to the two open chairs in front of her desk. Ignoring the silent prompt, Korra sat at the edge of the desk. Asami rolled her eyes with a smile but didn't tell Korra to get off. "Well, like I said before, I was a high profile person so Lin basically became my bodyguard whenever I left Republic City. Sort of like how Mako was made to babysit Wu." The two shared a look that spoke how much they'd pitied Mako for having to put up with Wu. "I felt bad about the whole thing. I mean, I know there were other things that Lin could be doing instead of watching over me so I tried to accommodate her as much as possible. I set us up in the best hotels that were available. I practically treated her like she was the CEO instead of me." Asami laughed at the memories. "Of course I paid for everything, even though Lin complained the entire time." Her face sobered and Korra leaned over to rest her hand over Asami's. Asami grabbed onto it, grateful for the physical contact. "I was visiting one of the mining facilities in the Earth Kingdom and it didn't go as plan. One of the miners turned out to be a member of the Red Lotus and he tried to assassinate me." Korra flinched at the words and Asami kissed her hand soothingly. "I'm fine now, don't worry. Lin was able to stop him and even hush the whole incident up."

"But?"
Asami hesitated for a moment but answered. "But Lin believed that the attempt was really a ploy to rouse you out of the Southern Water Tribe." She gave the hand another kiss. "It didn't work, obviously. It did shake me up though. It was the first time that I wasn't with anyone from Team Avatar when I was attacked. When Lin and I got back to the hotel, I had a glass of whiskey." Korra's sharp eyes made Asami admit, "It was one glass. At first. Lin came in to see if I was okay and I asked her to drink with me. At that point, I pretty much considered her a friend more than a bodyguard. So after a few glasses we started to talk, like really talk. Somehow we ended up talking about failed past relationships and I told her that Tenzin was stupid to let such a beautiful and strong woman slip through his fingers."

"You seriously said that?" Korra snorted. "That's really cliche, Asami."

"I was drunk and it's true," Asami countered.

Korra smiled at the little pout on Asami's lips. "You're beautiful and strong too," she said. The pout disappeared like it was never there and Korra felt her heart swell.

"Well anyway, one thing led to another and we woke up on the floor naked."

"That's it?" Korra sort of hoped that Asami was going to admit there was some scandalous sex in her story. "No details?"

Asami swatted at Korra's arm playfully. "You're a pervert," she said with a slight grin. "But no, honestly Lin and I don't remember the exact details but we do know we ended up sleeping together."

"Is that how you two ended up together?"
Now Asami sported a frown and she leaned into her chair. "No. We made an agreement not to speak about it." From the tone Asami was using, Korra could guess that it was Lin that brought up, and probably ordered, that agreement. "But after a few more trips the same thing happened except we weren't drunk and we actually made it to the bed this time."

"Details?" Korra could only imagine what Asami and Lin did that night and she could feel herself become excited from all the images playing in her head.

This time Asami smirked up at Korra. "Ask Lin if you really want to know. I'm not telling you squat." The way that Korra blushed told Asami of what she was thinking about. It made her feel sexy to know that she could elicit such a reaction from Korra. "Lin and I made a deal. Whenever I went out of Republic City and Lin came along, we would have a night to ourselves. That didn't last long however. One night after a trip, I had a nightmare and called Lin over. I didn't actually expect her to show up but she did. That's when we got together but we didn't know we were together until you pointed it out."

Korra stayed quiet for a bit when Asami finished talking. "That's quite a story, Asami."

Asami shrugged. "It's a better story than how I met Mako. Hopefully, this story will have a happy ending."

"I hope so too," Korra agreed. "We should watch ourselves though. I don't want to imagine how Lin would react if we broke up with her."

The older woman laughed and nodded. "She would probably try to throw our asses in jail." Asami looked at Korra who was chuckling at the joke. She was absolutely beautiful and the way she was sitting on her desk sent a tingle of desire down Asami's back. The mechanic stood from her chair and moved closer to Korra, gently parting the Avatar's legs so she was in between them. The laughter ended in a nervous giggle as Korra gazed at Asami. The sudden timid nature pulled at Asami's heart and she couldn't stop herself from kissing Korra. The three of them hadn't discussed if it was okay to show affection to one another when it was only two of them, but Asami didn't think that Lin would mind if she shared a semi-innocent kiss with Korra. When she pulled back Asami smirked at the dark blue eyes and the lips that were now tinged with red from her lipstick. "We should have a date night tomorrow at my place," Asami suggested. "We haven't seen each other for a week. I need a break and I'm sure Lin does too." She bit her bottom lip deliberately and Korra's eyes darted down as her hands found themselves lightly clutching Asami's waist. She leaned forward to brush her lips against Korra's ear, whispering low into it. "Spend the night with us." She let her teeth scrape against Korra's earlobe and a soft gasp was her reward. "Besides, you've seen Lin and I naked. It's only fair that we see you too." Asami felt Korra shiver as her breath tickled her ear. She leaned back and saw how dark Korra's eyes became and her lips slightly parted as she breathed a little harder than usual. Lin and Korra really did have a lot in common. A little nibble on her bottom lip and some hushed words and both women would be restraining themselves lest they lose control of themselves. Asami would have felt a little bad that she was wounding Korra up like this but it sent a surge of glee knowing she had such a hold on the younger woman.

Despite the way her body behaved, Korra still voiced her reluctance. "Isn't a little too soon? I mean it will be only our second date and uh-"

When Korra continued to stammer out excuses, Asami did feel a little abashed. Maybe she was a little too hasty. The mechanic wrapped her arms around Korra's shoulders and kissed her chastely on her cheek. She moved back enough to look into Korra's conflicted eyes. Asami took comfort that she could feel Korra's thumbs rubbing lazy circles into her shirt. "It's true that we've been dating for such a short period of time but we've known each other for years and we've been through so much." She moved her right hand so that it was now cupping Korra's cheek. The younger woman nuzzled against the palm instinctively and Asami felt another rush of affection for the younger woman. "But if you don't want to, that's okay too. We can wait until you're ready. Lin's a little harder to read but neither of us want to push you too fast and make you uncomfortable."

Korra looked at Asami with her soft smile and warmth in her eyes. Asami was willing to wait until she was ready to take that next step. And Lin would probably kick her ass if she rushed into things that she wasn't completely okay with. A part of her was nervous, a big part actually. That little seed of doubt was still there but as Korra continued to feel the heat from Asami's hand, she found that she already had the answer. "I want to," she whispered, like saying it too loud would ruin the atmosphere the two had created. This time Korra kissed Asami. "I'm ready for that."

Asami couldn't stop the delight she felt from Korra's words shine in her eyes. She pressed her lips against Korra's and sucked at her bottom lip. Asami pulled back and Korra could only stare at her. Asami smirked at the dazed look. She grabbed the satchel full with notes and blueprints from the side of her desk. "See you at my house at five tomorrow, Korra. I have a meeting to attend to." She left Korra at that, making a mental note to apply her lipstick again before going to the meeting.

The Avatar stayed sitting on Asami's desk, her mind short circuiting from that kiss and her bottom lip from being sucked. She turned her head to wish Asami good luck but found that the door was already closed. Her fingertips brushed against her lips. "Whoah." How the hell did Lin manage to control herself around such a fiesty woman like Asami!? Korra guessed that she would find out tomorrow. Korra's face reddened at the thought. She was going to do the do with Asami and Lin. They were going to have sex. The three of them. Together. "Whoah," Korra repeated.

Hey everyone! I'm sorry for the wait, I didn't have the motivation to write it to be completely honest. But I got out of my funk and good timing too! As you can probably guess, next chapter will contain sexual content between three consenting adult women. Don't like, please don't read. I'll try to have it up as soon as possible!
