"Stoking the Fire"

Chapter sixty-five "Together"

Azula woke to utter warmth. One leg was thrown across hers and a slender arm encircled her waist. Slowly her eyelids separated as she came to. She had gotten used to the sensation of dim light behind her eyelids as she opened them without an image coming through. But as she blinked, Azula was started when the body next to her came into view slowly, blurrily. She could see the pale skin of Ty Lee, with several reddened suck and bite marks across her sternum, throat and shoulders. Quite a few were around the curves of her round breasts and Azula felt a surge of pride seeing them.

She had relearned the omegas body by touch alone, and seeing the marks her mouth made her spirit soar impossibly. Heat slammed between Azula's legs as she blinked again and again, drinking in Ty Lee's flesh with her eyes. She could see…she could see!

Her hand was warm on the omega's hip and she rubbed. Azula couldn't help leaning down to suckle on her lover's throat as she moaned, rolling toward her. It wasn't as deep as a mating mark, but Ty Lee moved in her sleep all the same. Azula's shift stiffened to being and she smiled slowly as it pressed up against Ty Lee's core. Her legs were spread, pulling her in and Azula slid between her thighs, sighing.

When Ty Lee opened her eyes, she was startled to see Azula gazing down at her intently. Was she trying to relearn her face again by touch? For her fingers were stroking along her cheek and jaw. But while Azula was caressing her, her golden eyes latched onto hers intently. Ty Lee blinked again as the pupils followed her gaze. She started.

"Azula?!" she asked. Azula gave a shaky grin.

"I can see, Ty," she insisted. She held up her own hand and gazed at her long fingers. Ty Lee's eyes filled with tears. She leaned up and kissed her princess happily. So, the healers were right; it was some kind of internal hysteria. Did that mean she had helped calm her; had eased her mind?

Azula's face was between Ty Lee's breasts, enjoying the pale curves she could see easily. Ty Lee's hands scraped over her head and back and her thighs cradled her weight. Azula could faintly hear her father's stupid voice commanding her to pay attention. Ty Lee's moans made the voice small and inconsequential. She smiled and groaned as she pushed in firmly. Azula couldn't help glancing between their bodies. Her jaw dropped slightly as she watched her cock disappear inside the omega, splitting her open. The fact she could see it as well as feel it spurned her on. Ty Lee's eyes shone with desire. Her head tilted back as she spread her thighs wide. Her knees touched back by her shoulders and Azula happily pinned her beneath her weight.

The morning was looking to be off to a good start.

"Careful, Fire Lord!"

Zuko stepped down from the carriage steps, hissing as his boot sank into part of a pile of cow-pig dung. He scraped his boot against the side of the carriage, grumbling. The town magistrate stood beside him, scraping a low bow.

"I'm sorry, my lord. I should have signaled to your driver to take you up twenty more feet!"

"Oh no, no worrying about it now," Zuko muttered. He stalked across the dirt and mud of the village square, trying to step over other curious leavings. His cloak streamed behind him. The carriage driver climbed from the ledge on top of the royal carriage. He took up the chicken horses by the bridal and led them to a stable.

"I trust our inn will accommodate you and your soldiers," the magistrate said happily. "Our best suite is prepared for you, my lord."

"Thank you." Zuko tried to remain regal. His retinue of soldiers and Kyoshi Warriors filed out of a second carriage. Suki smiled to him and he gave a wry smile in return. He'd see that his friends were cared for. But first he needed a few moments to himself.

As the suite was opened for him, Zuko wrinkled his nose. The room had just been dusted and the stray dust bunny-boar tickled his sinuses. The bed was low and was large enough. The sheer size of it made Zuko think of Mai. And involuntarily, Ty Lee.

He took off his shoulder armor and hung up his cloak. Zuko stretched his arms and paced around the room. Sitting on one of the wooden chairs, he leaned to slide his boots off. Zuko lined them up and turned to look out the open window. At least the suite was on the second story of the inn so no worrying about peeping eyes. Ty Lee had defied him taking away his prisoner. He wondered how officially he had to punish her, but wondered if asked, if she would come back to the capital at all. As Fire Lord, punishment would be expected.

'But it's Ty!' Zuko thought. Despite all she'd done, leaving him TWICE, his old affection burned. They had had a connection, hadn't they? Zuko leaned back in the chair, knees spread. He closed his eyes, leaning his head onto the tall back of the chair.

Their daughter was safe at the royal palace, and he would bring Izumi's mother home. Mai understood he wanted to protect the acrobat as well.

'Will she want me anymore? She took Azula…' The thought burned and hurt and Zuko tried not to let any mental images of his sister with Ty Lee out of his mind. It would drive him mad and he had to focus on the task at hand. Get to Mountainside Manor. Apprehend Azula. Dispense justice to his wayward concubine. Come on, he had to hold it together….!

"Are you ready for dinner, Fire Lord?" Two male servants entered, bowing. Zuko nodded.

"Bring me your village special and a dish of spicy flaming noodles. No wine."

He had to keep his wits about him. There were still a few days of traveling to go. Justice dispensed…..well, everything would depend on how Ty Lee reacted to his arrival. But deep in his heart, Zuko knew he would be lenient. It was Ty Lee. And he loved her.

Zuko accepted a glass of water and sipped as the servants set up his dinner tray across the table. It came with Suki and he gestured to the opposite chair. Zuko flashed a prayer of health for his wife and daughter and dug in. Really, he didn't feel like eating.

"Eat, Zuko. We need to keep our strength up," Suki insisted. She looked as tired as he felt, and he gave a wry smile.

Zuko made himself eat bite after bite and washed the flaming noodles down with water. He had to bring Ty Lee back. He prayed she would come.

"Good morning!" Ying chirped, face red in a blush. Azula, lounging in her bed robe with Ty Lee across her lap, gave a wry grin. The two Kyoshi Warriors had sidled into the bedroom from their narrow hallway and room, and had run right back in, noting their bodies were joined and thrusting. After close to an hour, they had ventured back, Tsung prodding the door open with one boot in a broad 'notice me' gesture.

"Do you need help up?" Tsung was asking. She was reaching for the princess's hand, but Azula turned her hand over and grasped the Kyoshi Warrior's wrist without too much looking. Tsung's gasp as she met Azula's smirking golden eyes told her everything.

"She can see? Hurray!" Ying said. Tsung grinned, rubbing her wrist.

"I think we should keep it to ourselves. What do you think, princess?" Tsung suggested. Azula nodded. Ty Lee's friends were very strategic, it seemed.

"Excellent suggestion. Let's let Lord Fancy Britches mess himself when he knows," Azula drawled. Her hand caressed Ty Lee's hip. The omega's face was red, and her brown hair was disheveled. But she leaned against Azula's torso gladly, clad in her own bed robe.

"So, you two are doing better," Ying teased before Tsung pinched her waist. Azula raised an eyebrow at her.

"You could say that…."

Ty Lee's hand settled on her thigh and she cuddled close. Things were still too soon and undefined, but Azula's arm was warm round her waist. And she didn't seem to want to give her up.

The small kiss Azula placed on her head filled Ty Lee's heart with hope. But she tried to reign it in. It was futile to hope too much, too fast. But Azula's energetic yet tender performance last night and that morning made her heart do funny things. When Ty Lee arched off of Azula's lap to help her friends with tea, she caught the serious look the princess had on her face.

An unspoken promise to continue was in her eyes. Ty Lee blushed.

Ty Lee wiped a bead of sweat from her brow. She and Azula and her friends were practicing sparring and kata in the open room beneath a blurry blue sky. The rain had stopped, and the odd grey cloud stole across the sun, blanketing the stone room in patches of darkness. But the smiles on everyone's faces kept any darkness at bay internally.

Every move Azula made had Ty Lee transfixed. She knew the outline of her musculature beneath the trousers and tunic she had put on. Ty Lee had to swallow a gasp as Azula fell back on one heel, her other leg stretched in front of her, imitating a kata motion from Ying. Azula was already a master at firebending, a prodigy of their time. But every motion she made, excluding the bursts of fire to keep away from her and her friends, was powerfully restrained. Azula had power. She was just settling down its impact for the sake of those around her.

While that was oddly touching, it was new, and Ty Lee wondered if she would have to do something about that. She loved Azula as she was. If she wanted to be unrestrained, she would be so. Ty Lee knew her face was heated in a blush and she fanned herself. Really, this was getting out of hand. It was almost like her body was on fire. And as she continued watching the alpha move as fluidly as a waterbender, more heat slammed between her thighs, making her clit throb.

"Ty," Azula said beside her and Ty Lee flew into a complex firebending kata with her. Ty Lee's form was still effortless without the firebending. Azula punched out short bursts of flame, carefully retracting them with deliberate snuffs of her chi. That was impressive in itself as she continued the kata. Most benders would have let the elements go crazy.

Tsung gave an appreciative whistle as they finished up. "You'll have to teach us that one," she suggested to Azula. The princess smiled, flinging her ponytail over shoulder.

"If you wish," she said.

Ty Lee scrubbed her wrist across her brow. Azula turned to her and a curious look darted across her features.

She held her hand out and Ty Lee took it. A pattering of rain started up; Ty Lee led Azula closer to the hole in the ceiling, so she could hopefully be cooled off. Azula watched her curiously, golden eyes gleaming.

"You're burning up," she murmured, touching Ty Lee's wrist. Ty Lee gave a shaky smile, but she couldn't help arching her back, breasts pushed forward. Azula's gaze drifted down to her tunic front on reflex.

"I'll be okay," Ty Lee insisted. Her tongue darted at the corner of her lips as her gaze settled on Azula's soft lips. She wanted to kiss her deeply, and feel Azula in return. Her body flushed, and Ty Lee tried not to fan herself.

Lunch was a strained event. Not that the company was bad. And it was safe; Tsung was let out to retrieve their meal tray again and Ying bolted the door behind her each time. Azula was gazing at everything as if it was the first time. She had a story scroll open across her lap, idly reading. Strange how simple things like reading could have been lost forever.

A spike of chi raised Azula's interest from their meal. Chopsticks poised in her mouth, she regarded Ty Lee curiously. The omega was fairly sweating, large beads dotting her brow and plastering her bangs to her face. Azula was about to ask if she wanted to go to the open area when the scent hit her

It was unabashed omega, unfiltered and ripe with sweetness. What made it all the more intriguing were the undercurrents of lust. Ty Lee's eyes gleamed as Azula noticed her. Her tunic sleeves were rolled up and Azula wondered if she would have tried to strip more if Ying and Tsung weren't present. Both women seemed to note the change in Ty Lee's chi and hurriedly collected their bowls onto the tray.

"We'll be in our room! Good evening," Tsung said diplomatically. Ying flashed Ty Lee a wry look and gave a bow to Azula. The small door leading to their narrow room closed and Azula set the scroll and her chopsticks down. Ty Lee trembled as she set her hand over hers.

Azula's mouth was dry as she swallowed. Ty Lee's eyes met hers hopefully. "It's been a long couple of days here," she murmured. Ty Lee shuddered. Every word that fell from the alpha's lips was setting her loins on fire. She burned so much, she kept shifting her thighs uncomfortably. Azula noticed. Her hand settled on Ty Lee's upper thigh, rubbing through her trousers.

"Longer still with you here…" Ty Lee murmured. Azula's shift throbbed to being and strained against her pants. She gently tugged on Ty Lee's arm, urging her to complete the moment, to show her what she wanted. Ty Lee carefully climbed up onto her lap, thighs straddling her. When Ty Lee ground down against her through their clothing, she gave a ragged gasp. Her hands went low and held Ty Lee's hips.

Their lips met, and hands were tearing at clothes, freeing flesh to the air. Azula's face went low and between Ty Lee's breasts, mouth open. Ty Lee squealed when Azula picked her up by the waist and walked her to the large bed. After dropping Ty Lee onto her back, Azula clambered after eagerly. Their lips met in a hungry kiss and with a few snaps of the hips, Azula's tip was engulfed with wet clinging warmth. Ty Lee groaned, arching beneath her.

Azula smiled and worked her hips, thrusting in. She shuddered, Ty Lee's sweet scent wrapping all around her. She was entering her heat. And Azula was where she wanted to be, wrapped in clinging wet silk. Ty Lee's mouth was against her bare shoulder a low wail erupted from her lips. Azula didn't think the acrobat knew she was doing it. As the heat called to Azula's chi, her hard length gave a twitch deep inside. Azula worked her hips in faster snaps, enjoying the wet plunges and the moans she drew from the omega's throat.

She was hard enough to burst, and she kept thrusting on and on. Just when it seemed her peak felt too far away to achieve, Ty Lee wrapped her legs high around her back and rubbed along under Azula's torso.

"So hard….so hot….I'm burning….can't you feel it?" Ty Lee's eyes gleamed with a sultry light. Azula nodded, jaw dropping open. She nodded, dumbfounded.

"So tight….so….uhn!" Azula's words escaped her. She thrust in and out; the speed that her knot formed was alarming. Ty Lee could feel it nudging her on each stroke and she tried to pull her in. Azula kept herself upright on her elbows, sweat beading down her face. The silent plea in Ty Lee's eyes made her heart twinge.

"Azula…Azula….please!" Ty Lee surrendered to her body, thighs wide and feet scraping nimbly down the small of the princess's back. On the next stroke in, Azula didn't try to stop herself. Her knot began sinking in, pressing in past the tight ring of entrance. Azula kept her hips pinned on top of Ty Lee's as she felt her knot rapidly swell, harder and harder until the whole thing was formed. She gave an urgent thrust down and with a slick pop, was sealed fully inside.

Ty Lee howled. Azula's mind went red with lust. Her fingers were tender as she stroked a lock of hair out of the omega's eyes. Ty Lee's eyes opened, and a desperate light fueled them.

"Don't worry…I've got you…" Azula rumbled. Completely sealed, there was nowhere to go. But her thrusts were short and hard. Ty Lee clung to her back, trying to hold on. As she fell apart, screaming, her limbs a shaky watery mess, Azula thrust as hard as she could while tied. Her head tilted back as she crested, rode the edge of eternity, then plunged abruptly over with well-placed thrusts that echoed the fast tempo of her heart rate.

Ty Lee cried out as Azula released into her, over and over. Her inner muscles molded over the alpha's cock and massaged her knot. It felt too good and when Azula thought she had nothing more to give, Ty Lee coaxed her to keep spurting.

Finally, Azula collapsed onto the omega, both a sweating shuddering mess. Azula grumbled under her breath as Ty Lee pressed gentle kisses across her sweaty brow. But she relished the feeling of comfort. And Ty Lee's arms were so warm.

"Spirits," Ty Lee mumbled against her neck. Azula gave a mad grin.

"Just me, Ty."

The omega blinked then giggled. "Oh, silly…." She gave a gasp as Azula thrust against her, working her softening cock into her and trying to stiffen. It only took a few careful twinges on her side.

Azula was moaning and they began again.

End for now
