The guests have secrets of their own and as always, nothing is simple in her world.

Souffle and Temptation

Flashbulbs popped all around the room as the paparazzi swarmed about anyone who was anyone. The whole wedding party was set into awkward poses for photos. After about a half an hour, all the participants were released to mingle and eat from the lavish buffet.

Sokka made a beeline to the sea prune specialties. As he was eating voraciously, beside him stood Mai, also enjoying the purple souffle. "Hey, Mai didn't know you liked sea prunes. I heard it was an acquired taste, well everywhere but in the Water Tribe," he remarked as he took a bite of the airy cake.

When he went for another bite, the blade wielder redirected his fork into her mouth. She slowly withdrew the thoroughly cleaned utensil from between her ruby red lips, as her tongue flicked the tines. Anxiously, Sokka began to look around to see who, if anyone, was watching them. "Aren't you a bit too obvious, my Saya," he whispered to her. "Azula is sure to see us.

I know she already suspects something is up."

"Yeah, she asked me to keep an eye on you and Tylee," the tall woman replied with a wink of her golden eyes. "Don't worry, know exactly where your princess is. She's busy talking to her mother and little sister. They are working on reconciling after being so long apart," Mai sighed as she put her half full plate on top of his empty one. "That leaves the best dish in the place unattended," she pointed out with a lustful lick of her top lip.

"Seriously Mai, what happens if we're caught like we were almost this morning," he countered. "A second more and the evidence would have been all over that beautiful face of yours," Sokka sighed shaking his head.

"Why do you think I'm so excited now my love?" Mai asked, letting the back of hand brush his crotch. "Danger is intoxicating. Also, I need to be sated after that tease earlier. There is a vacant cloakroom to the left of here. I have already unlocked it and if you want to see what other tastes I've acquired from the Water Tribe, follow me there in a moment," she invited him with a slow lick of her lips. "This time, my face will be waiting."

Sokka's eyes were fixed on the fleeing tall beauty even as he greedily gulped down the remaining portions of food on her plate. He watched as she disappeared into the room, the door being left partially open. The Republic City Councilman dropped the empty plates at the edge of the buffet table before heading towards the closet. His path was suddenly obstructed by the wheelchair bound glider pilot.

"Hey Sokka, I didn't get a chance to speak with you earlier, but there is something I want to ask, well tell you," Teo stated with a soft smile. "Katara is a great gal and..."

Sokka held up a hand cutting him off in midsentence. "I'd love to talk to you man, ya know, catch up on old times, but can this wait maybe ten, well thirty, or forty-five minutes? I promised someone else a bit of my attention," the new councilman replied as his gaze continued to look at the partially open door.

The disabled young man's face fell. "Sure, we'll be here," Teo replied, letting out a long sigh.

Sokka now diverted his full consideration to the sad man. "Listen, if this is about you asking my sister to marry you, go for it. You have my blessing Teo. I know you're a good guy, and I think my dad and yours would like this too. In fact, my dad is right over there, talking with Iroh," Sokka pointed out. "You two are obviously very happy together. I'm grateful you were there after that fiasco with Aang."

Teo face lit up like an Avatar Day Festival. "Thank you brother," he said as he wheeled himself over to where Hakoda stood.

Conversely, Sokka hurried to the open door, and before he could get fully in, Mai pulled him through the opening and slammed the door behind him. "It's not polite to keep a lady waiting," she seethed in as he saw her pale cheeks were cherry red. Another thing Sokka noticed immediately, she was completely naked. Mai held up a hand and spread her fingers as a sticky film bridged them. "See, I had to start without you."

Sokka took her hand and began to lick the aroused woman's covered finger's clean. "Sorry, I'll make sure you aren't waiting anymore," he stated, dropping to his knees and lifting a long slender leg over his shoulder. Mai braced herself against the back of the door as Sokka started his lingual foray where her hand had been.

"I thought I was going first," she stated in surprise.

"Cumming first," he corrected her. "You were waiting long enough," he expressed, burying his face into her pudenda.

"Delicious," she heard him sigh as her face flushed even more.

Tylee walked over to Azula and whispered into the sharp-eyed cold-blooded fire bender's ear. "Just as you said, there together," she informed the stoic face princess. "She went right to him."

"Where?" Azula asked swallowing hard.

"The room to just beyond the buffet table. Mai went in first, and he followed a short time later," Tylee stated as she tried to gauge Azula's expression. "What are you going to do to them?"

Azula smiled tightly. "Nothing right now. I wouldn't think of ruining the Duchess' day. Just have fun now Tylee. I think your escort has been looking for you. He seems like a nice guy. Don't worry about Mai and Sokka; I'll keep an eye out for them," she replied with a soft grin.

Tylee couldn't tell if Azula was teasing or being serious. "He's nice, just not my type," she uttered as her gray eyes looked down.

Azula stepped closer and whispered into the former acrobat's ear, "I know. You wish you were in that room instead of our dear Mai. So, what are we going to do now Tylee?"
