"Stoking the fire"

Chapter two "Further down into heat"

"Well, this is something," one of the guards muttered. He and his partners had been tasked with finding their missing charge, and the sooner before Lord Zuko found out the better. Princess Azula had slipped their attention in what seemed to be instantaneously. It had only been an hour, but they were beginning to sweat the inevitable punishment awaiting them. They sidled into a sitting room and found articles of clothing that seemed to belong to a woman. They recognized the Princess's tunic and pants suddenly.

"I can't even…." One of the men mumbled as they collected the torn clothing. Lustful pheromones clung to the fabric and they all blushed.

"She's been found!" a soldier ran into the sitting room, winded. The two men straightened with relief.

"Where is she?" one of them asked. The young man paused to catch his breath.

"Back in her chambers. But she's not alone….."

"I don't think Lord Zuko will want her holding court. Who's in there with her?" one of the men frowned. The young soldier blushed beet red.

"A female companion. And she's in heat."

The missing articles of clothing they held suddenly made a whole lot of sense.

"What can we do?" one of the men complained. If they carried out Zuko's orders, they could very well be maimed or injured for interrupting the Princess's rut.

"Guard the door. I guess…." The other soldier muttered. They all grumbled, piling the articles of clothing, boots and sandals into their arms and made their way down the hall.

Azula was slowly coming back to consciousness, lips parted as she breathed deeply. After Ty Lee dragged with her down the hall to her chambers, they had rutted to exhaustion. They had barely made it into the door, Azula climbing up behind Ty Lee on the floor. She didn't even know who had closed the door, shutting them in privacy.

But as she woke, Azula didn't bother connecting that memory with whoever was nibbling at her shoulder, hands skimming over her breasts and sides. The strokes were light and almost ticklish and she frowned in her half-sleepy state, eyes starting to slit open. Someone was definitely in her bed touching her. Who had the nerve to invade her privacy?!

Azula's hand snapped out, closing around the slender throat of the person beside her. A feminine gasp met her ears. Okay, whatever girl servant that thought they could touch the Fire Princess without consequence was sooooooo going to get it now. Azula's other hand formed a fireball as her hazy gaze solidified and turned the startled woman into Ty Lee. Realization slammed through Azula and she blinked, fingers loosening on her throat. Of course, she had never left.

"Azula!" Ty Lee gasped. Her hand closed over the princess's, wordlessly asking her to loosen her harsh grip. Azula's fingers pulled from her throat and she fell onto her back, taking in the aftermath. Ty Lee's maddening scent reached her nose and Azula realized she was still in heat, and very much naked and in her bed.

"I thought….. hmm…. Never mind what I thought," Azula mumbled. Her hands moved lower to caress the sweaty curves of the omega who turned into her touch, making small noises of contentment. "Damn…."

One of Ty Lee's hands had dipped between her legs, caressing her already stiff cock. She must have inhaled Ty Lee's pheromones in her sleep for she was already shifted and stiff as a board. Azula moaned and spread her legs. She thrust her hips up, sliding her cock through Ty Lee's fingers.

The haze of Ty Lee's heat filtered over Azula's mind, narrowing all thoughts to sex. Her cock glistened with beads of precum as she was stroked to fullness by Ty Lee's clever fingers. The omega was gasping against her shoulder, eyes fixated on the stiff erection between them. Azula sifted her fingers through the hairs at the base of Ty Lee's neck. She gave a small push to encourage her.

"Three times wasn't enough for you? You still want this?" Azula purred. Ty Lee nodded, mouth dry. She licked her lower lip, eyes low between Azula's legs. The Fire Princess rolled her shoulders, arching her back. The gesture put her impressive body on display.

"You once worshipped the ground I walked on….now do the same for my cock. You need it in your mouth and you want me coming down your throat…." Azula hissed. The words put a pretty blush on the omega's face. Splashes of flesh reddened down her chest and neck indicating her arousal. Ty Lee rubbed herself against Azula's thigh, painting it in damp patches. She crawled down Azula's body, pleased to see the princess biting her lip in anticipation.

Settled between Azula's legs, Ty Lee gave the bobbing cock her full attention. She opened her lips and settled around the head, giving it soft kisses. Azula sighed. She leaned back, head pillowed on her arms. She gave a smirk. The one time she had sank into Ty Lee's treasure in the field, there had been no oral stimulation. That was severely going to change.

Azula's fingers tightened around Ty Lee's throat, indenting the pale flesh. Ty Lee shuddered at the display of strength and opened her lips wide. She took a good inch of her cock into her mouth and pulled back with a soft pop. Azula's fingers tensed against her throat, not exactly pushing, but showing her she approved. Azula hissed softly as Ty Lee took her fully into her throat and bobbed back and forth. She gave a toothy grin, giving small pumps of her hips.

Azula reflected idly that her night had gone a completely different route than planned. She had been intending to meet with one of the palace servants who was working for her to see what she had routed out concerning the guards. Aside from the ones on her ass at Zuko's behest, she needed to know who was supremely loyal to the Fire Lord and who could be swayed. She was starting to get a grasp on how many were on patrol around the royal apartments until Ty Lee had upended her entire evening by dropping her heat in her lap. But she definitely wasn't complaining.

When an omega presented herself to an alpha, it was supreme instinct to ascend to such an obvious physical request. Azula wondered if she would have been able to turn Ty Lee down if she wasn't in her heat. She smelled so good it made her cock ache. She may not trust her past companion, but she wasn't going to turn down a few days of romping pleasure.

Azula crooned down to the omega bobbing up and down on her, fingers caressing the back of her neck roughly. She didn't have to trust her to reap the benefits of sex. Ty Lee flashed brown eyes up the length of her toned body at her and Azula throbbed in her throat.

"Fuck, Ty Lee… who have you been doing this for?" she accused. Ty Lee blinked at her, but opened her throat wider and pressed down. Azula gasped as the head of her cock struck the back of her throat and she SUCKED. "Fuck!"

Emboldened, Ty Lee's hands pressed on her smooth thighs, spreading her further. She hungrily suckled down, a moan erupting in the back of her throat. The vibrations danced down the length of her cock. The sight was so erotic it helped push Azula along. Soon she was coming, hips levitating off the mattress. Ty Lee's hands pressed into her hips, holding her still. She swallowed down the first streams of Azula's release and brought her lips back with a loud smack. Azula slouched, panting.

When Ty Lee crawled over her waist and angled to sink onto her, Azula growled and flipped her over onto her back. "Did you think you were riding me? I think you prefer me pressing you down…"

"You should try it sometime!" Ty Lee gasped. Her thighs parted around Azula's waist and she pressed upward, grinding along the length of Azula's cock. Her release had made her nowhere near soft and she was still stiff to perform. "Azula!"

"Again, who have you been doing that to?" Azula growled. Her chi curled in angry red waves, momentarily jealous at the concept of Ty Lee haven't given herself to anyone else. Ty Lee ground up against her, thighs trembling. She was making small noises of approval. Her hands scraped up the bunched muscles on Azula's back and she leaned up to graze her lips against the princess's. Azula could feel her trembling against her, her chi curling around the angry edges of hers, soothing out the edges.

Azula's need spiraled to her cock and her fingers clenched the sheets around them as she arched low, pushing inside the acrobat. Ty Lee's head threw back and a low moan erupted from her upturned throat. Azula was shocked to hear an answering groan that could only have come from her own mouth. She couldn't lose herself completely. But Ty Lee thrusting beneath her, enveloping her cock in clinging warmth, threatened to make her lose her mind.

Azula set into her rut, teeth biting her lower lip as she tried not to lose control. But she was rapidly approaching a climax and she hadn't knotted the omega this round. Azula panted against Ty Lee's shoulder and arched her hips low, thrusting her knot against her. Ty Lee was crying out against her ear, legs wrapped around her waist.

"Yes, yes….Azu…please…" she was moaning. The sounds spurned Azula on. Her lower back hunkered down and she worked her knot in with two hard thrusts. Ty Lee screamed as they slid together. Her thighs were trembling around her. Azula's hazy mind could only discern the physical sensations. Blissful warmth encasing her cock and fluttering around her knot, splayed fingers clutching her back, tendrils of loose hairs pushing against her nose as she buried her face into the omega's shoulder. Her teeth grit against the edge of that delicate shoulder as she ground harder and harder, snapping her hips in short thrusts as the tie would allow. Ty Lee's hands were on her back, fingers pressing hard into her. Azula's memory tensed, remembering harsh strikes down her right side and the sudden paralysis that had felled her. No, she had Ty Lee captive. She wanted to come, and she wouldn't do that while she had her pressed under her…..

Azula had pride in her abilities to know she was going to make Ty Lee come apart and not a moment too soon. She had worried her lower lip almost bloody trying to hold onto herself. The instant she felt Ty Lee fluttering around her, she let go, yelling loudly. Ty Lee gasped against her ear as she fell against her. Azula was shocked how good it felt to be enveloped in slim arms, hands holding her back and head as their hips rolled together.

Ty Lee's lips crashed against hers, teeth scraping her upper lip harshly and Azula opened her mouth. It wasn't a tender kiss. She harshly kissed Ty Lee, thrusting her tongue between her lips to match her cock splitting her open. Ty Lee's hands were soft on her back as she accepted the kiss. Azula leaned back panting, sucking on Ty Lee's lower lip. Ty Lee licked her lip. A few drops of blood from Azula's broken lower lip filled her mouth. Azula grinned down at her, pleased at the sweaty mess she had turned Ty Lee into when the omega leaned up and gently kissed her cut lip.

Azula's eyes widened, but she pressed Ty Lee into the mattress, burying her face into her shoulder. "Tell me you could have found anyone else to service you….." A slow roll of her hips made Ty Lee moan softly. She clung to her back. "But you wanted me. Only my cock can make you scream like this…."

"Yes…" Ty Lee murmured against Azula's neck. She pressed a hot smear of kisses across her throat and along her shoulder. "I wanted you, Azula…."

Azula grinned, ego stroked. She languidly rolled her hips, Ty Lee clenching her knot so tightly she didn't know if she'd ever be able to withdraw. Not that she wanted to. When Ty Lee tried to take her lips in another kiss, Azula pecked her lips, trying not to allow herself to lower her guard.

The nips she placed along Ty Lee's throat had to be enough. Ty Lee moaned and clutched the back of Azula's neck. She lifted her head, begging wordlessly. Azula stared down into her upturned face and sighed as their hips settled.

"Very well," she murmured. When she set her lips against Ty Lee's, the gentle warmth exchanged between them did severe things to Azula's mind. The voices were murmuring, some screeching for dominance, others whispering urgently. Azula focused on the crooning one that told her to enjoy it. Ty Lee's heart surged when Azula cupped her cheek with one hand and kept kissing her almost tenderly. She slung her arm around Azula's neck.

"You don't have to push yourself, Zuko," Mai said. Zuko was naked beside her, bathed in a fine sheen of sweat. She wasn't any better off, thighs sticky with his seed. His hand was between his legs, stroking himself back to erection.

"Are you uncomfortable? I know you're not in heat," Zuko gasped. His hair was out of his top knot and mussed. His abdominal muscles tensed as he stroked himself. Almost there….. Mai fell onto her back, and laid an arm across her eyes.

"We've been going at it every chance we get. We'll have to wait to see if anything's taken hold. I'm just tired," Mai groused. Zuko regarded his prone wife and felt his heart lurch. He let go of his cock and leaned down to gently move Mai's arm from her eyes.

"I'm sorry. I just thought we'd be pregnant by now," Zuko said. His golden eyes were very sad. Mai's heart moved in her breast and she pulled Zuko down for a hug. She kissed his shoulder and then turned his face up for a lingering kiss.

"I love you, Zuko. We're young. It will happen," she said in an uncharacteristic display of optimism. Or she may have been trying to soothe Zuko's anxiety.

"I know. I'm sorry…." He said again. Mai crooked an arm around his neck and pulled him down for a sweet kiss. Her arms went around him.

"You don't have to say that. There's nothing to be sorry about," Mai said, a small smile on her lips. Zuko kissed her softly.

Twining with his naked wife in their wide bed put his mind almost at ease. The Fire Sages were getting pushier and snippier in their regards to his lineage. He knew he had to secure an heir and he hoped he would have impregnated Mai by now. Not only for their joy of starting a new family, but to shut the old men up.

Zuko didn't want to admit it to Mai, but he was afraid. The Fire Sages had huge sway in who would sit the throne, and there were two other family members that could supplant him. His father was in his prison at his behest, but even the fact that he was a living option put cold dread in Zuko. Not to mention his sister….

"Hey, what's this? You're shaking, Zuko," Mai murmured against his shoulder. Zuko buried his face in her throat.

"I'm tired too, sweetie," he confessed. "Come on, baby, let's cuddle."

The attempt at joviality worked and Mai giggled, swatting his sweaty side. "You big goof."

"But you love it," Zuko gave a sudden smile. Mai cupped his cheek with one palm and pulled him down for a kiss. They twined comfortably, legs tangled. Mai enjoyed his weight on her and they pressed together, naked flesh warm. A flash of sudden happiness spiked her heart and she clung to Zuko's back, rubbing small circles along the strips of muscle.

"I do….and you," she confessed. Zuko twined his fingers in her loose hair and kissed her shoulder.

"I love you too, my Fire Lady," he said softly. Mai drank in his kiss with growing heat.

Mai couldn't begin to untangle Zuko's inner worries about their attempts at procuring royal progeny. They were young, in their early twenties, and they had several years of their life together. It didn't make Zuko any less anxious. The sooner Mai got pregnant, the sooner he could breathe a sigh of relief that his legacy would be cinched into place.

There were nobles that outright called his rule into question, but the arrival of a royal heir would secure everyone's opinion to silence. Even the nobles that outright didn't want him as Fire Lord would rally around an heir. The thoughts swirled in Zuko's mind.

As Zuko moved in his wife's arms, he had no way of knowing his sister had defied his terms of house arrest and was… entertaining a guest.

"Again," Ty Lee gasped. Azula collapsed on her elbows on top of her and rolled against her shoulder. She panted in shallow sips of air, chest heaving.

"A minute," Azula growled. Ty Lee pressed a tender kiss against her head. Azula's hair had been tugged half out of her top knot and was a veritable mess. Ty Lee's braid had fared no better. Azula had fairly tugged it loose when she had taken her from behind last time. "Heat or no, give me a minute."

Ty Lee giggled and kissed her cheek. Azula raised her head and caught her lips. Ty Lee purred into her mouth. Azula was coming to her kisses more and more and her mouth was intoxicating.

"A minute is all you're getting," Ty Lee teased.

On her back, with the princess's weight between her legs, the addition of her delicious kisses put Ty Lee's world to a comfortable state of warmth.

Azula lifted her head, pinpoints of red in her cheeks. She rolled her hips slowly and pulled back. Her knot was rapidly shrinking and she was able to pull her cock out. Ty Lee gasped, thighs trembling. Azula cupped her hand between her thighs, trying to keep their fluids from spilling out too badly. Ty Lee rolled against her side and slung her arm over her waist. Azula cradled her against her, hand on her hip.

"Oh? Then I suppose you'll have to entice me," Azula smirked. Ty Lee ran a finger down between her breasts. Her finger tips dipped through rivulets of sweat. She leaned closer, licking at the salty sweat over the princess's collar bone.

"In a minute," Ty Lee teased back. Their legs twined and Azula raised a brow when Ty Lee kissed her temple. The voices murmured and Azula's heart surged. She leaned up to kiss her lips when there was a knock on the chamber door.

Azula flung the sheet over Ty Lee, not caring if her own nakedness was showing. "Who dares?!" she yelled. Ty Lee tried not to gape at the seething rage in the princess's eyes.

The door opened and two male servants brought in trays of food. They set them down on the small table in the corner and bowed, keeping their eyes averted. "Your meal, Princess. Will your companion be staying long?"

'Or we'll tell Zuko' seemed to be the unspoken phrase next. Azula growled and knelt on the bed, naked. She flung a fist, throwing a fireball toward the men. They yelped and leaped about, batting at the flames that pulled at the sleeves of their tunic.

"Get out!" she commanded. The men, betas luckily, took the hint and didn't challenge her. They hightailed it out of the chamber, shutting the door firmly. Azula rested on one knee, panting with rage. Her cock had been shrinking back during her comfortable embrace, but now it surged between her thighs, matching her potent anger. Ty Lee watched her sadly. She knew alphas were protective of their partner's heats, but the irrational rage still frightened her. To some degree.

Ty Lee ran a gentle hand down Azula's back. She tensed then turned somewhat crazed eyes toward the omega. Ty Lee's heart lurched. She was afraid but she was far more sad. After the moments of sweetness after the hard rutting, this was a terrible turn. Ty Lee inhaled slowly and pressed up against Azula's front. Her breasts pressed into Azula's stomach and she leaned her head up. Azula stared down into her sweet face and hungrily kissed her.

Her cock throbbed between them. Ty Lee ran her hand down Azula's toned arm and raised her hand to her lips. She kissed the back of her knuckles and each finger gently. Azula hissed when her forefinger was sucked into the omega's mouth. Azula throbbed. She ran her left hand down the taut pout of Ty Lee's belly and between her legs.

Her thumb pressed over Ty Lee's clit, protruding from its hood. Ty Lee gasped and rocked on her knees. Azula grinned when she tipped against her, flesh warm against her side. Azula fell on her side with Ty Lee and they kissed hungrily. All too soon Azula was pushing between her thighs. The head of her cock pushed against Ty Lee's wetness. She gasped highly, clutching her back.

It didn't matter how many times they had done this throughout the night, each joining enflamed the heat and they couldn't keep away from each other. As Azula's harsh gasps filled the air by Ty Lee's ear, she gladly held on and rocked her hips against the princess's. Ty Lee's chi coiled around the potent stabbing of Azula's and entwined it to luxurious waves.

Azula felt a throbbing in her chest and she almost purred out loud, feeling herself lulled on by Ty Lee's answering chi. She pounded on, harder and harder until they were both gasping for air, the night's humidity drawing pools of sweat down their naked bodies. As Azula's face contorted with pleasure, Ty Lee stared up at her, lips parted as she moaned. The small grins of pleasure on her partner's face soothed Ty Lee's soul. But however, there were still ragged edges in Azula's aura that she wasn't sure a few days of sex would heal.

It was a start, but Ty Lee wanted more than just being claimed by Azula's body. She had won her demand for physical union by presenting her heat to her, but it was merely instinctual for Azula to want to mate her. It didn't mean Ty Lee would get to keep her.

Ty Lee clung to Azula's shoulders, legs around her thighs as they moved together. Azula grinned, sweat pouring down her brow as she slid her throbbing knot home between Ty Lee's thighs. The acrobat gave a small shriek of pleasure.

"How did you stay away from my knot for so long? I can….uhhhhhn…. feel you….. shit….. gripping me….." Azula murmured beside Ty Lee's ear. She gave a suckle along her throat, feeling Ty Lee's hands enthusiastically move up and down her back. "SO TIGHT…. So exquisite….ahh!"

Ty Lee stared up into Azula's face as her teeth grit, head tilting back as her face twisted with pleasure. The sheer enjoyment on the princess's face pushed Ty Lee on. She gave a few high gasps and clung to Azula's back. As she came, she held onto the alpha's shoulder with her teeth, trying to muffle her cries.

Azula leaned down onto her, hips rolling softly. Ty Lee reflected that at least for the moment, she had her. The guards outside could hear the gasps and moans from within and tried not to blush. The sounds continued inside.

End for now
