AN: Hey y'all, I'm back with another drabble. Is this what you call lime? Hehe. Anyway, this was inspired and helped by RyuuMahou, who is fabulous. And I think it took me longer to remember the word 'aphorism' than it did to actually write this. Heh. Enjoy, and leave a review if you love me!

He pants her name, each syllable heavy on her skin, making her painfully aware of his proximity. His breath is hot on her neck and his hands aren't far behind.

"Katara," he whispers, his voice rough and low. He repeats it, over and over, and she swears her name becomes sweeter each time. His words drip over her like honey, thick and saccharine and too tempting to resist.

Licking her lips hungrily, she pulls the enemy even closer.
