Summary: Mako's dirty little secret gets the better of him.
Asami ended up dropping the scarf issue, but at the expense of the dinner seeming to last forever and somehow he ended up in bed with her again. He wasn't sure how that happened, but he didn't want to fight with her especially with his brother there. His stomach churned, the more that he and Korra carried on with their little secret, the bigger disaster that his separation with Asami would be.
He was convinced that Asami was catching on to something, but then she was not the type of person to make a scene in front of people. She tried to make love to him, but he was just not having it. Her kisses didn't mean anything and frankly were boring, and her touch was like rough paper. After attempting to make an effort, he finally gave up saying that he wasn't feeling well and she insisted on spending the night to take care of him.
After the night went on for hours, Mako finally got up and walked to the window. Air Temple Island looked like it was sleeping, the lights had been turned off or turned down probably by the White Lotus guards that protected it.
He needed Korra.
Judging the fall into the ocean as not a good idea for a fire bender, he grabbed his shoes and snuck out the door of his room and leaving Asami asleep on his bed. The midnight air was chilly and he wrapped his scarf tighter around his neck as he began to walk in the direction of the bridge to Air Temple Island. It didn't take long and his pace picked up until he reached the guard station, how was he going to explain to them that he wanted to see Korra in the wee hours of the morning?
Mako frowned, how was he going to get to her now? Korra didn't have a problem sneaking in and out through the water, and even though he didn't bend water he could still swim well enough to not drown if he couldn't find a way in. But then what? He would be wet and there was no guarantee he could scale the rocks on the other side. With a deflated sigh he kicked a rock into the bushes, startling the guy in the booth to jump up and run out. Mako was slightly surprised that it was so easy.
He snuck in with a smile and followed the walls, dodging into shadows when he heard the voices. It took a little while for him to reach just under her window because the Air Temple was still busy even so late at night, he had even seen Tenzin turn to retire. He scaled the side of the wall, thanking the spirits for the vines that hung along it, it was as if the spirits wanted him to be there and was making the effort easy on him.
As he neared the second story, his foot slipped and he barely caught himself from falling, he strung a few swear words under his breath and it had obviously woken up the sleeping Avatar. She peered out the window at first startled and then smiled as she looked down at him. "What are you doing?" She whispered.
"Hanging around, I guess." He answered smartly and glared at her, she bended the side of the house to throw him up into the room and he fell into her, tossing them to the floor. "Thanks."
Footsteps could be heard down the hallway running down closer to her room. "Quick, under the bed!" She whispered before jumping back into her bed, curling herself underneath the blanket. The space between the floor and the bed was tight, even tighter with her laying just above him pretending to be asleep.
The door opened and he could see the yellow robes from the master Airbender through the crack. "Of course she's asleep, she could sleep through a hurricane if we'd let her." Tenzin said to the guard. "She probably just earth bended in her sleep, but check the perimeter one more time just to be safe."
When the door shut, both Korra and Mako released the breath they were holding. He crawled back out from under the bed and climbed in under the covers with her. He rolled onto his side, wrapping an arm around her waist and buried his face into her hair. Korra ran her fingers through his hair, sensing that he didn't want to talk.
They laid there for what seemed like hours, but the spirits had granted Korra the patience to just lay there. It was when she started to doze off that she could feel his lips travel along her neck, soft and tenderly. His hand snaked underneath her night shirt, bringing bumps to her skin. She loved what his touch did to her and the feel of his lips was magic.
When she saw Asami at his apartment, her stomach dropped slightly. She was content with being the dirty little secret because at that point she at least got a piece of him, it was probably the newly forming Airbender inside of her, to accept what she was given. Mako covered her with his body, showering her with kisses along her neck and up to her forehead, purposely missing her lips and suddenly the impatient fire bender came out of her as she whimpered. She could see why Asami put up with his suddenly moody disposition, he was a damn good kisser. Korra understood the moody disposition, it was the fire bender inside of him, putting full focus on something that was still weeks away and being distracted and pulled in so many directions.
Korra was getting addicted to him and sharing him was getting more and more difficult, but has his lips crashed on to hers she remembered that she would do just about anything for him. His tongue met hers and it was decided that she would do everything for him.
He was in no hurry as he kissed her thoroughly, his hands dragging up her skin to pull of her shirt. It was matter of seconds that she laid naked underneath him and no matter how many times he had seen her naked, it still had the same effect. "You are so beautiful." He whispered into her ear followed by his tongue tracing the invisible line down her chest and to her navel.
Her eyes closed as his touch brought her to shivers. He stopped for a second, straddling her waist and pulled his own shirt off. She pulled him down for another kiss, which he granted but only for a moment before his mouth finished mapping the contours of her skin. He touch was soft like a turtle-ducks feather and warm like only a fire bender could be.
Mako didn't stop, not even when he reached the spot between her legs. His warm breath against her womanhood made her gasp and she nearly screamed when his tongue got involved. She had to remind herself that she was in the Air Temple and Tenzin wasn't that far away, let alone all of the Airbending children.
His fingers, along with his tongue, had brought her to her peak and she cried out as she rode the intense wave of pleasure rippling through her body. He carefully stroked every intense feeling out of her before making the journey back to her mouth. He buried his face into her neck, nipping her gently before sitting slightly to look her over. "Hey." Korra whispered, breaking the silence.
"Hey." He said with his crooked smile, she was sure that he could feel her heart flutter against him.
They sat in silence, unsure what to say, it wasn't long though before Korra leaned up to kiss him. "I need you, Mako." She whispered against his lips as her hands worked his belt clumsily.
He kissed her again while his hands worked his pants off and joined the rest of the clothes on the floor. Korra gasped as he entered her and Mako said the unimaginable. "I love you, Korra." He whispered in to her hair so quietly that she almost didn't hear it.
She stopped him with a hand on his chest, looking at him with emotion and teary eyes. "Wh. . . What did you say?" She asked with a gasp, searching his face for answers.
"I love you." He repeated and Korra crashed her lips against his. "I've bee going crazy." His lips went to her neck again as his hands pinned hers above her head. "All I ever think about is you."
Korra had a challenging look in her eye. "Prove it." And he did, instead of the rough and animalistic thrusts, he was slow and methodic drawing every feeling for the both of them in the process. This wasn't a lustful shag in the locker room scenario, or even a stressed out hand-job scenario and Mako was hell bent on making love to her.
She whimpered into his neck and whispered his name against his bare skin, it was that moment that he had committed himself to the Avatar. The thrusts started to pick up in pace and her cries grew louder as they both reached their peak together until he spilled into her and then collapsed on top of her. Both breathless and sweaty, they laid there with his face buried into his neck.
After what seemed like hours and even the crickets had stopped chirping, did he look up at her. His hand cupped her cheek and he looked down on her, soft smiling face. "Was that proof enough?" He whispered.
"I believe you." She whispered, leaning up slightly to kiss him again. "I love you."
It was his turn to smile softly. "I love you." He repeated, before rolling off of her and onto his back. It was her turn to roll over and curl into his side, gaining a small kiss to her bare shoulder.
He knew that he shouldn't fall asleep and he knew that he needed to leave before he got caught sneaking out the Air Temple or better yet caught naked with a naked Avatar. Korra sighed against him and her breathing evened, he shook his head. Consequences be damned, he wasn't leaving. Slowly he traced patterns on her bare arm before they found their way tangled into her hair and soon he too followed her into slumber.
The morning sun rose and the light filled the room, stirring the very pregnant Pema who yet again woke up alone. She rolled her eyes as she stretched her arms above her head, it was one of the joys of being married to one of four Airbenders in the world.
She climbed out of bed and wrapped a robe around her swollen body. She would be glad when this baby came so that she wasn't so big anymore and she was at the point that she was starting to waddle, only four more weeks. Pema looked out the window to see Tenzin, Meelo, Ikki and Jinora sitting under the meditation pavilion and found it weird that Korra was absent. She took it upon herself to find the Avatar before Tenzin got involved.
She padded the distance between her bedroom and down the hall towards the teenagers. She had to explain to her husband that she needed the practice of being disciplined, waking up on time being one of them and that he needed to give her some time, she was human after all. As much as she loved the man, he was a little bit high strung.
Pema reached the Avatar's room and tapped on the door only to be greeted by silence, usually when she was running late she would shout out that she was coming and the older woman assumed she was still dead to the world. "Korra?"
Slowly she opened the door to see that Korra was not alone in her bed and Pema gasped. Korra sat up, holding the sheet tightly to her chest. "This isn't what it looks like." She lied and then looked at Mako, who sat up next to her. "Okay, this is exactly what it looks like."
The pregnant woman opened her mouth and closed it a couple of times, unsure really how to handle this teenaged moment. "Pema, my love what is wrong." Asked Tenzin's voice from the hallway and Pema looked at him surprised.
She recovered and shut the door. "Korr isn't feeling well, she'll be down in a little bit." Pema lied and tightened her robe around her.
"Oh." Said Tenzin slowly, looking over his wife because she was acting strange. "Okay, I guess I will go back to meditation." He disappeared and Pema slipped backing into the room to see that it was completely empty, the windows open and curtains billowing in through the room. Pema crossed the room to see the young woman and young man hand in hand running away from the sleeping quarters laughing until they reached the edge of the island.
Korra dove into the water first and came up, encouraging the boy to follow and at the sound of footsteps from the guards he dove in after her. She bended a bubble around them and they sunk out of sight as the guards walked past them, oblivious to the hidden Avatar. "So that's how she does it." Pema mumbled to herself.
The pair popped up and Korra laughed, wrapping her arms around the neck of her new lover and pulling him in for a kiss. That is until the little pitter patter of her children startled them apart and the pair shared a look before disappearing under the water. In the distance she could see them pop up for air one more time and began to lazily swim towards Republic City, Pema sighed and rolled her eyes. She silently thanked the spirits that Tenzin hadn't found them.
Pema found the young romance cute. She had listened to her girls talk about the ruggedly handsome man who Korra found absolutely irresistible, their words not hers. The pregnant woman sighed, remembering her torrid romance with the Master Airbender and she closed the door behind her.
