A/N: I really liked this idea a whole lot, and it was really fun to write. I probably could have made it longer, but sometimes I like the short and sweet stuff better.

Day 17 - Thousand

"Your lips are gonna be so chapped in the morning," Korra laughed, her body trembling slightly as Bolin pressed kiss number 146 to her sternum. "Kinda wish you'd just get on with it though. I mean, at this rate, it'll be morning before we even get to the good stuff."

"Hush!" Bolin chastised. "You're gonna make me lose count." His lips hovered near her breast, teasing her nipple with his warm breath. Korra bit her lip and pushed her chest out, straining for him to put his mouth where she wanted it most, but Bolin was determined to complete this challenge he'd undertaken and backed up, smirking fiendishly at her when she'd failed to get her way. "Let's see… where was I again?" he mused, grasping his chin. "Oh right. A hundred and forty seven…" His lips descended onto the soft underside of her breast making her gasp.

"Spirits, this is torture," she moaned as he trailed four more kisses to the other side to tease her other breast with his lips.

"What did just I say?!" he shrieked incredulously. "I swear, it's like you're trying to make me lose count!" Korra neither confirmed nor denied his statement, but the cheeky grin she gave him said all he needed to know. "You are, aren't you?!" he accused. "You want me to give up!"

"I don't even know why you're still playing this silly game," she giggled. "Let's just do it already. You can kiss me afterwards."

Bolin gasped, his green eyes wide in amused outrage. "Kissing you is not silly, Korra! Kissing you is a very serious business. It requires patience, finesse and careful attention. I take great pride in my ability to kiss you the way you deserve to be kissed."

Korra snorted with a roll of her eyes. "And what way is that?"

Bolin beamed a seductive smile her way, one that stopped her heart in anticipation of his tricks. And he had many.

"By someone who knows how," he whispered before dropping his lips against her throat. He gave a gentle suck, making her gasp and shiver as a consuming heat engulfed her entire body.

A/N: I can't take credit for that last line. It was part of one of Rhett Butler's quotes from Gone With the Wind and also helped inspire some of this.
