THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS SEXUAL CONTENT BETWEEN THREE CONSENTING WOMEN

It took Asami longer than she liked to find the room she was meeting Baatar Jr. in. She had gotten lost in Suyin's mansion and had to hunt down a guard to ask for directions. By the time she walked into the meeting room, she had to pull out her make up mirror to make sure her hair and make up was in its place. She learned long ago that it was best to look as if meetings that could potentially put her company right at the top were something she did every day.

Asami grabbed the door's handle and took a deep breath, calming her nerves. She took another breath and pushed. Her face reddened when the door moved slightly and halted with a clang. She pulled and the door opened to reveal a spacious room. There was a couch on either side of the room and a long table situated in the middle for people to have tea and chat over. There was already a plate of crackers and a pot of tea in the middle of the table. Asami could look out to Zaofu's gardens to the right where instead of walls, there were floor-to-ceiling windows. At the end of the room was a large desk that was covered with blueprints and papers with scribbles and half-finished designs.

The lone man in the room quickly straightened from where he was bent over the mess on the desk. "Ms. Sato, please come in." Asami had no doubt that he had not realized the time by the way he glanced at the mess on the desk with embarrassment. He left the desk to gesture at the tea and crackers. "If you like, you can have some refreshments as we talk."

It took Asami a few moments to recognize the man as Baatar Jr. His beard and hair had grown unruly since she lost saw him. She entered the room and let the door swing closed. She went to Baatar Jr. and held out a hand. "Thank you for inviting me to this meeting."

Baatar Jr. stared at the hand for a moment before clasping it with his own. He gave a firm shake as he nodded. "Of course, Ms. Sato. I believe that Zaofu and Future Industries can both benefit from this meeting." He let go of Asami's hand and set out on pouring himself a cup of tea. He took a sip and cursed under his breath. "Apologies, I did not realize how hot the tea was." He gestured to one of the couches. "Please, take a seat."

Asami did so and poured her own cup. She watched Baatar Jr. walk briskly to the desk and move some papers about. A blueprint slipped off the desk and Asami could barely make out a wind mill of some sort. She set down her cup and rifled through her satchel. She quickly moved the blueprint of her design of a solar panel to the side as she searched for the blueprints of her SatoStation.

"Here it is!" Baatar Jr. came back to the table with a few sheets of paper held carefully in his hand. He took his seat on the couch opposite to Asami and slid the papers over for the woman to look at. "I have the draft of a contract for Zaofu and Future Industries." He tapped on the first page. "I tried to make it as short as possible. I'm sure a woman as busy as you wouldn't appreciate a book of unnecessary jargon."

"Thank you for your consideration." In truth, Asami was a bit concerned of how light the contract felt in her hands. Her eyes widened when she realized that what she assumed was one contract was two, one for her and one for Baatar Jr. She quickly scanned through the documents and her eyebrows creased. "This, uh,"

Baatar Jr. nodded and scratched at his chin. "I understand your confusion but it is really very simple as you can see. I, and all of Zaofu, want to help you bring the Fire Nation into the Tech Revolution. The Fire Nation can benefit greatly with your SatoStation. You can cut traveling and transportation costs almost in half if we can build the most efficient routes." He gestured to the outside world. "The Fire Nation built a lot of its economy from the Hundred Year War. They have been able to stay afloat once the war ended and they relinquished control over the land they conquered but this could help them expand their economy further."

"But the metal," Asami began, frowning at the last page. It was not a part of the contract, it was a diagram of a cannon.

"Will be from Kuvira's spirit energy cannon," Baatar Jr. finished. His mouth twisted at the woman's name, as if it hurt him to physically say it. "If it can handle the immense energy from the spirit vines, it should have no trouble with the volcano's heat."

Asami looked down at the diagram again. It should work in theory, but the terms that Baatar Jr. had written up for her to acquire the precious metal. "I'm not sure if I can sign this," she said, looking back at the man. "Surely you know how valuable that metal is? I, this, I would be practically stealing it from you."

"We want nothing to do with her scraps of metal," Baatar Jr. said. "It should have been dismantled a long time ago, but" he pointed at the contract in Asami's hands, "we can still do some good with that weapon. You aren't taking advantage of us. You'd be helping us remove the stain Kuvira made."

"But why the Fire Nation?" The question was out of Asami's mouth before she could stop it. She cleared her throat and pretended not to see the flinch Baatar Jr. made at the question.

"You mean, why aren't we focusing on helping the people of the Earth Kingdom?" Baatar Jr. corrected Asami. He looked out of the window and Asami realized how tired he looked. There were prominent bags under his eyes and he didn't seem to care that his glasses were slightly skewed. "We are. We're helping Prince Wu, or just Wu I suppose, establish a democracy in the Earth Kingdom. But it wasn't just the Earth Kingdom that Kuvira hurt. She imprisoned visitors from the Fire Nation, as well some people from the Water Tribe and the United Republic. We're not sure how we'll help the last two but you provided an excellent opportunity for Zaofu to help the people of the Fire Nation."

Asami considered Baatar Jr.'s words. She reread the contract slowly, trying to plan out her next few moves. This was the opportunity of a lifetime, they only asked for enough money to move the metal to her factories. They even offered some of Zaofu's greatest minds to help implement the metal to the SatoStation. Asami did not doubt that Baatar Jr. was one of those great minds.

She sighed and put the contract on the table. "Are you sure you want to do this?" When Baatar Jr. nodded, Asami rummaged in her satchel to produce a pen. "I had honestly expected this to take longer." She signed the contracts underneath Suyin's signature. She handed one of the copies to Baatar Jr. and placed her own contract into her satchel and caught sight of the blueprint on the floor again. After making sure the contract would not get crumpled, she pointed to the paper. "What is that, if I might ask?"

Baatar Jr. followed her finger and his eyes widen when he saw what she meant. "Oh, that was just a blueprint of a new device I'm trying to develop." He got up and retrieved the blueprint. He placed it on the table and used his tea cup to hold one end down and his hand for the other. "I was thinking about using air to generate power. We burn coal to essentially turn a turbine so what if we could simply use the wind to turn one?"

Asami studied the blue print for a long time. She noticed the Air Nation insignia scribbled at the bottom right corner of the blueprint. "But how would you be able to turn the turbine enough times to generate sufficient energy?"

"It won't be a lone structure. We'll have to build quite a few in one location to generate enough energy to offset the costs of building them." Baatar Jr. got up from the couch to go back to the desk. Asami stood to follow him. Baatar Jr. rearranged the papers on his desk so that a map of the Earth Kingdom was no longer buried. There were several circles drawn on the map. "We've been looking at potential areas to build these, er, energy farms. None of these areas have been developed on so the cost of buying the land shouldn't be a problem."

Baatar Jr. and Asami went into more detail on the idea of harnessing wind for energy. Asami went to her satchel to retrieve her blueprints for a solar panel. She and Baatar Jr. began discussing ways to implement both devices in one area for maximum effectiveness. They agreed to have the area surrounded by Future Industries' solar panels and the center to house Zaofu's wind turbines. They gave one another feedback on their designs. Baatar Jr. suggested Asami should use the compound cadmium selenide instead of silicon in her solar panels while Asami argued that three blades in Zaofu's wind turbines would be more efficient than four.

"How is Kurvia?"

"What?" Asami was jolted out of her mind by the sudden question. She had been writing down several improvements that Baatar Jr. had been suggesting for her factories to better build the SatoTrains. The question had registered in her brain and Asami thought of the best way to answer. Lin and Korra had to be a bit secretive about Kuvira and her condition due to the missing spirit vine investigation. "I'm not sure." she answered honestly.

Baatar Jr.'s shoulders drooped at the answer and he nodded solemnly. "I figured but I had to ask."

Asami felt guilty even if she knew logically she couldn't really help Baatar Jr. She shifted a few papers around before asking. "I know this is none of my business but after everything she's done, do you still-"

"Love her?" Baatar Jr. finished. He scratched at his unkempt beard and sighed. "I know I should say no and I think I don't, at least not as much as I used to. It's just," he took a deep breath, "we did have something real. I can't forget her, but I won't make excuses for her. She did what she did and she's in prison because of it."

Asami nodded at Baatar Jr.'s words. She could hear the pain in his voice but he wasn't allowing his emotions to overrule him. The two resumed discussing the blueprints but both minds were too occupied to make any real progress. Asami glanced out of the window and spotted Lin and Korra heading in the direction of their temporary home. She tore her eyes away from the glass to focus on the blueprint that Baatar Jr. had drawn up of one of the wind turbine's blades. The words of the blueprint danced away from Asami's concentration. Her mind was on her two lovers and how they were holding hands and grinning at one another. She looked at Baatar Jr. who was frowning down at one of his designs, scratching his beard. Would she end up like him if Korra and Lin had ended up like Kuvira. She wanted to adamantly decline the possibility but she knew that she was just lying to herself. Asami had given the two her heart and she didn't want it back, possibly ever.

"I think that's enough for today," Baatar Jr. said as he attempted to reorganize the mess the two had created during their meeting. He sifted through some paper work to find the contract. "I'll show this to Mrs. Beifong tomorrow morning."

It was a bit strange to Asami to hear Baatar Jr. calling his own mother so formally but she did not comment on it. She grabbed her blueprints and put them in her satchel before bidding Baatar Jr. farewell. Asami retraced her steps to exit the mansion. She frowned at how dark it as getting, she did not realize how long the meeting actually went. Asami walked to her temporary house and opened the door.

Naga lifted her head from her paws and padded over to Asami. She yawned and nuzzled her head against Asami's chest, pushing her slightly back.

"Hi, Naga," Asami said, pushing her satchel away from the polarbeardog's reach with one hand and scratching under Naga's chin with the other. "Did Korra and Lin come inside yet?"

As if to answer her question, she heard just a whisper of a groan. She patted Naga's head once more before heading into the master bedroom, closing the door behind her so the polarbeardog did not wander in. Asami did not find her lovers tangled up with one another on the bed but she could see the light peaking out from the closed bathroom door. She pushed her hair out of her face and tossed the satchel onto the floor. Asami sat on the edge of the bed and clasped her hands together. She could barely hear the whimper from the other side of the closed door. She wanted to join the two but her stomach was filled with stones.

How did her life end up like this? Asami had promised herself to never fall head over heels over someone, even before her relationship with Mako. She had never wanted to become codependent and wholly reliant on another person. Asami knew she was an independent woman and took too much pride in her work to allow someone to get in the way of it, even if she wanted to spend her life with him or her. She was lucky to have found two other women who had her same ideals about balancing a relationship while still establishing some independence.

But Asami couldn't deny that something had shifted between her, Korra, and Lin some time ago. Lin had given up her title as Chief of Police so easily when they were exposed. Asami knew that the older woman was already planning on retiring soon enough and she was much more relaxed now than Asami had ever seen, but it still twisted her heart thinking about how she was the cause of the early retirement. And it hurt even more when Asami knew there was just a tiny part of her that was glad that Lin had retired early. She knew the missing spirit vines were dangerous for all those involved and that Lin was more than likely going to investigate them herself if anyone else got hurt. She cared for her officers, even if she tried to not show it. Lin would never ask any of her officers to do something that she wouldn't do herself, and Asami loved that about her.

And Korra. She couldn't have given up her title as the Avatar but she would have done anything if it would have helped Asami and Lin. She was selfless like Lin and she was headstrong in the best of ways. There were more times that Korra had acted recklessly and put herself in harms way in order to protect someone than Asami could count. When she had a task in mind, nobody could take Korra away from it. Distract her for a short time maybe, but soon Korra would be back at it, no matter what it was. Asami's hands clenched together as she thought about Kuvira when she was the Great Uniter. The two were more alike than Asami wanted to acknowledge. Korra never took things too far, however, even when people's lives were at stake. She could have made good on her threat of hurting Baatar Jr. when she thought that it would have convinced the man to tell Kuvira to stand down. But she never did. Korra always showed mercy to her enemies when she could.

Asami could feel her heart thumping in her chest. It would have been easy for both Lin and Korra to kill those they fought. It would have been easy for them to convince themselves that it was fair, after all most of their enemies were fighting to kill them. And because of their morality, there had been so many times that they almost died. The last thought nearly choked Asami. She couldn't imagine a life without the two in it. The world would have grown colder and colorless if Korra and Lin were not there.

Asami was so lost in her thoughts that she did not hear the bathroom door open.

"Asami?"

The woman in question startled at hearing her name fall from Korra's lips. Her stomach twister tighter as she looked up at her lovers. Asami was not surprised that both of them were naked and had some fun. She watched the slight daze on Korra's face fade into concern.

She didn't really process the question Lin gave as the older woman put her clothing on

the chair in front of the vanity desk. Asami stood from the bed and walked purposefully to Lin. She grabbed the back of Lin's head and pulled her close so she could kiss the older woman, drowning the other question. Her other hand cupped Lin's sex and she felt the heat and wetness of the older woman's arousal.

The two only broke the kiss when they had to breathe. Asami continued kissing down Lin's neck, stopping occasionally to leave a mark or two. She didn't care if people stared, or if Suyin made a snide remark about them. She needed to hear Lin gasp and groan as Asami bit down and sucked until a nice bruise began to form.

"Asami, calm down," Lin managed to get out. She tried to gently push Asami away but the younger woman simply ignored the efforts. Lin had to bite back a moan as Asami found her clit and started rubbing it in tight circles.

"Do you really want me to stop?" Asami asked, nipping the place that Lin's shoulder meets her neck. She moved her hand lower and felt the telling wetness between Lin's legs. "Because it doesn't seem like you want me to."

Lin groaned as she forced herself to move away from Asami's touches. She crossed her arms over her breasts and tried to ignore the heat in her lower belly. "Something happened, Asami."

"Did the meeting not go well?" Korra asked. She took a few tentative steps towards Asami and placed a hand on the small of her back. She knew that if Asami had pounced on her, she wouldn't have the willpower to push her away.

"It went very well, actually," Asami said with a slight chuckle. Her cheeks were now burning more from embarrassment than arousal. "It made me realize a few things." Asami turned around to full face Korra. "When I saw you two, I just got a little too excited I guess."

Korra chuckled, relieved that the meeting hadn't upset Asami. "Yeah, well, I can't blame you there. Lin is way too sexy for her own good."

Lin's arms tightened around her chest but she didn't disagree with Korra. "You're sure everything is okay, Asami?"

Asami nodded with a grin. "I'm positive." She moved closer to Lin and rested a hand on her crossed arms. "I want to celebrate with you two."

Lin searched Asami's eyes to see if there was anything in them that would betray the younger woman's words. She did see a note of desperation there but she mostly saw adoration and lust. Lin's arms moved away from her chest and she gently grabbed Asami's waist. "Okay," she said before she captured Asami's lips.

It didn't take long for Asami to take control of the kiss and to lead Lin to the edge of the bed. When she heard Lin give a soft sound of surprise when the back of her legs hit the mattress, Asami broke the kiss and pushed Lin onto the bed.

"Hey!" Lin tried to growl but the look on Asami's face caused her stomach to clench in desire. She spotted Korra push her clothing of the chair with no care and taking a seat so she could watch the two comfortably. Lin's attention was pulled back to Asami as the younger woman's hair tickled her belly as Asami crawled up on the bed. Lin wanted to rip the clothing off of Asami so she could touch the sensitive skin underneath but she knew that Asami wanted to control how things went for now. Lin was more than happy to relinquish control, especially when those hungry eyes took her in like she was a delectable feast to a hungry snow leopard caribou.

"You're beautiful," Asami said, cupping Lin's cheek. Her thumb swiped across Lin's bottom lip before it pressed down slightly. Obediently, Lin's mouth opened slightly and Asami's thumb went inside to feel the warmth inside Lin's mouth. Asami smirked at Lin when the older woman narrowed her eyes and slightly bit down on Asami's thumb. When Lin let go of it, Asami moved her hand down to Lin's right breast. She gave it a quick squeeze before using the thumb to play with the nipple.

Lin murmured softly as the nipple hardened. She moved her leg up so her calf would push up Asami's skirt. Her eyes drifted back to Korra who was watching the two raptly. One of her legs had hitched over one of the arms of the chair, much like in the tub. Korra was slowly playing with her clit and when she noticed Lin was watching her, gave a soft moan. "Pervert," Lin chastised lightly.

Seeing that Lin was paying more attention to Korra than her, Asami moved down Lin's body. She replaced the thumb that was toying with Lin's nipple with her mouth. She met Lin's eyes as she drew the nipple into her mouth.

"Fuck, Asami," Lin murmured, running her fingers through Asami's hair. She rubbed her thighs together to get some friction but it wasn't enough. Ever since she and Korra had some fun in the tub, the heat in her belly had been growing steadily and Asami had quickly made it into a fire.

Asami sensed Lin's impatience and smirked around the nipple in her mouth. She gave it one last suck before kissing down Lin's body. She had to leave the bed and kneel on the floor. Asami hitched Lin's legs around her shoulders and was grateful that Lin had decided to leave the bathroom without putting on her clothing. She turned her head to brush her lips against Lin's calf.

"Stop teasing me, damnit," Lin growled. She wanted to pull Asami's head to where she needed the younger woman most. Her attention was once again drawn back to Korra who let out a gasp at her words. The Avatar's fingers had sped up and she was toying with her nipple with her other hand. For a split moment, Lin was jealous of Korra for being able to touch herself freely while she was being teased by Asami. The feelings were soon extinguished as she gasped and gripped at the covers with her hands.

While Lin was distracted by watching Korra masturbate to the two, Asami shuffled closer and plunged her tongue into Lin's wetness. She hummed at the taste and pulled Lin closer to her. Asami licked up the slit a few times before focusing on Lin's clit. She looked up and saw Lin's eyes were closed as another moan left her lips. Asami closed her eyes and concentrated on tonguing Lin's clit as two fingers prodded at Lin's entrance. She entered the other woman slowly, more to extend Lin's excitement than to prepare her. Once she reached her last knuckle, Asami pulled out until the tips of her fingers were inside Lin before quickly pushing back in. She alternated before pumping her fingers in and out of Lin and rubbing against the sweet spot inside of the older woman.

Lin cried out and sat up on her elbows to watch Asami. She wasn't sure how long she would last with the woman in front of her playing with her like that. "Asami, just like that," Lin murmured, throwing her head back with a groan. She felt more than heard a muffled sound of surprise. She looked back down and felt herself rise ever higher at the sight in front of her.

Korra, having quickly gotten bored of just watching and masturbating, had left the chair and knelt behind Asami. Her hands made quick work unclipping and pulling down Asami's skirt, leggings, and underwear. Korra frowned at the way Asami was positioned, thinking. She looked back up at Lin's face and she felt slightly bad for what she was about to suggest. "On the bed," she said, smacking Asami's ass slightly.

Asami moaned a bit into Lin's sex before pulling away and crawling up on the bed to join Lin. She let her fingers trail up Lin's body, stopping to cup Lin's cheek and kiss her deeply. She heard the bed creak from an additional body and felt Korra's hands marvel at her body. Asami broke her kiss with Lin to give Korra one of her own.

Lin watched the two kiss as she moved higher on the bed. She almost felt bad that her movement had caught her two lovers' attention but the hungry looks they gave her made it well worth it. "Well?" Lin teased.

Asami was the one to pull away from Korra and move closer to Lin. She hiked a leg over her shoulder, turning her head to bite down on the flesh to mark it. The love bites that Korra and her had left previously were all faint now. Lin should always have a mark or five to remember the times the three of them fell into bed with one another. Asami kissed down and resumed lapping at Lin's sex. She let her nails sink into Lin's hips and had to hold her down as Lin gave a responding jerk of her hips and groan. Asami let her legs be push apart and her hips pulled up in the air. She nearly stopped pleasuring Lin to ask Korra what she was trying to do but she was quickly answered. Her hips were pulled back down and she felt Korra's tongue dive into her folds.

Feeling Asami's tongue and now her moans as Korra pleasured her was quickly unraveling Lin. She brushed her bangs away from her face to better watch her two lovers. "Close," she moaned as Asami flicked her clit with her tongue. Lin's body trembled and her moans came out faster. She grabbed at Asami's hair, careful to not actually hurt the younger woman, to make sure she wouldn't pull away. Lin's hips rocked against Asami's mouth as she sought that one little push that would unravel her. She found it when her eyes locked onto Asami's. They were dazed from experiencing her own pleasure from Korra but there was still a sharpness to them that caused Lin's stomach to clench in arousal every time. Lin called out Asami's name as she came undone, her back arching off the sheets. Slowly she came back down and fought to catch her breath, looking down at Asami with a grin.

With Lin sated, at least for now, she was able to fully lose herself to Korra's tongue. She rested her cheek against Lin's slightly quivering thigh and moaned happily. Asami sat up and looked down to see Korra's eyes closed in content as the younger woman worked. She heard Lin hum in appreciation at the scene in front of her and noticed that Lin's eyes had trailed down her body and then Korra's, focusing on the Avatar's lower half. Asami followed Lin's eyes and saw that one of Korra's hands was playing at her own sex, rubbing her clit slowly as she tasted Asami.

"Wha?" Korra asked in confusion when she felt Asami move away from her mouth to settle next to Lin, her back resting against the headboard. Korra was slightly hurt by the action, worrying for a moment that she wasn't doing as good of a job as she hoped. The concern was quickly dashed when Asami crooked a finger at Korra as she grinned at younger woman. The look on Asami's face reminded Korra dimly of the way the woman looked when they had their races at her mansion. Korra could do nothing but to crawl towards the two, all her attention focused on the two older women.

Before Korra could ask what the two wanted her to do, Asami pulled her up against her body so one of her thighs was pressed firmly against Korra's sex. At once, Korra rocked her hips down, finding the friction she desperately needed. "Yes," she murmured, grabbing the top of the headboard for balance as Asami's hands guided her hips' rhythm. Korra threw back her head with a groan when one of Lin's hands reached down to rub at Korra's clit. The other grabbed the back of Korra's head so Korra couldn't hide her blushing face. "Fuck," she whimpered when she felt Asami's lips enclosed around one of her nipples and suck it into her mouth.

It didn't take long until Korra cried out her lovers' names as her hips bucked at Asami's thigh. Asami let her ride out her orgasm before letting go of the nipple in her mouth and found her legs being pushed apart by Lin as Korra all but collapsed on the bed next to them. It seemed that Lin had gotten her second wind, much to Asami's relief. It almost became painful how aroused she was.

Lin made swift work with Asami. She entered the young mechanic with two fingers and targeted the sweet spot inside Asami as she pumped her fingers in and out. "Lin," Asami gasped, grasping both a pillow and Lin's shoulder to keep herself grounded. Her hips sloppily tried to keep up Lin's rhythm but Asami couldn't find herself to care enough to try that hard. Her orgasm came hard and Asami's body trembled as Lin continued. As she relaxed against the bed, Lin slowed her pace and eventually stopped. She pulled her fingers out of Asami's sex and felt a bit smug by the essence that clung to her fingers. Lin sucked them clean, knowing that Asami was watching her, before laying down next to the younger woman.

By this time, Korra had regained her strength enough to crawl to the other side of Asami. She kissed the mechanic's shoulder as she laid an arm across Asami's and Lin's waist. "That was good," she murmured.

"Agreed," Lin said, a hand resting over Korra's. She moved closer to Asami and hummed as Asami's leg hiked over her own. She didn't want to break the tranquil atmosphere the three had created but there was something they needed to talk about. "Before though, what did you want to discuss?"

"Way to kill the post—sex bliss," Korra said, without any real annoyance. She snuggled deeper against Asami and turned her hand over to squeeze Lin's.

Asami glanced down at where Korra's arm was stretched out over her waist and the blissful look on Lin's face. "Yes, I" Asami tried to begin. Now that it was time to tell the two what she found out, the words caught in her throat. "During my meeting with Baatar Jr., I realized something." She shifted slightly and at once Korra and Lin instinctively moved closer. Asami took comfort at that and continued. "I think it was something I knew for a while now, but only now did I realize it." She turned over to move closer to Korra and cupped her cheek. At once, Korra's eyes fluttered shut as the younger woman nuzzled against the palm. With her eyes still closed, Asami pressed their lips together, pouring all her emotions for the older woman into the kiss. She felt her heart soar like it had hundreds of times before as Korra returned the kiss with her own intensity. When they finally broke, both were breathing hard.

"Wow," Korra breathed.

"I love you," Asami whispered. She watched Korra's eyes widen in shock but she didn't have the time to see the emotions play out on Korra's face. Asami quickly turned to Lin and gave the older woman a kiss of her own. She poured her emotions into the kiss as well and felt Lin hesitate just for a moment before allowing her own feelings to be felt in the kiss. They broke apart and Asami held Lin's hand. "I love you too," Asami said. Even if Lin could have guessed that she was going to receive her own confession, the surprise was still evident on her face.

Asami laid back on the bed so she could see both her lovers' faces. She felt a curl of fear in her belly as she waited for the two to process whart she said.

Korra was the first to react. Her face broke into a broad smile, her eyes gleaming. She more tackled than leaned down to give Asami her own fevered kiss. There was a mantras of 'I love you's gasped in between the kissing, leaving Asami lightheaded.

A hand being gently laid on Korra's back made the Avatar reign in her excitement, but only for the mechanic. Korra pushed Lin onto the bed and kissed her with everything she had. She heard Lin groan under her as the older woman pulled Korra impossibly closer on instinct. Korra eventually pulled away long enough to breathe, "I love you too, Lin." She pushed herself up on her hands, realizing that maybe she was too excited after hearing Asami's confession, but she wouldn't apologize for it. She felt as if she discovered a brand new element that only she could bend.

Asami had reached over to cup Lin's cheek and grinned encouragingly when green eyes flitted to meet her own. Lin licked her bottom lip as she gazed back at Korra, who was grinning down at her with the same look she gave Asami before repeating back the sentiment. Lin wouldn't be surprise if both women could hear her heart pound in her chest. "I," she started, her voice cracking in the first time in years. She cleared her throat, feeling her face become inflamed. Taking a deep breath, Lin said clearly, "I love you Asami, Korra." Ridiculously, she felt tears prick at the corners of her eyes. "I love you."

Korra's and Asami's eyes softened at the words. They knew that only a very select few people ever heard Lin say those words and they were elated that they were now a part of that group. Asami shifted closer to kiss Lin softly. "I love you," she said into the kiss and the older woman pulled her closer, nearly knocking Korra over in the process. Asami felt Korra shift on the bed and felt her press against her back. Asami broke the kiss with Lin to begin another one with Korra. When they broke apart, Korra leaned over Asami to share a kiss with Lin. Asami took the opportunity to capture one of Korra's nipples into her mouth. She felt it harden as Asami saw the kiss deepen and become more heated.

The three spent the rest of the day in the bed, whispering those three words to each other in between gasps and moans. When they were finally sated, they wrapped their bodies tightly together, listening to the sounds of the night and slowly drifting into a peaceful sleep.

Author's notes

I have one more chapter planned. I'm not done with this ship (I may even include Kuvira) but it will most likely be one-shots or a small story.
