**THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS EXPLICIT SEXUAL CONTENT! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!**
A/N: Hi everyone! It's been a super long time I know! I can only say that it's been a very busy year with lots of big things happening for me. :) So I've literally been debating with myself for a year about whether to post this or not. This is basically the explicit version of Toph and Zuko's wedding night from the fic "Fire Weds Earth." I wasn't sure if I should post this because I didn't want to exclude my younger readers, but it's been bothering me because I really feel that this is an important part of the fic, so here goes! xoxo
After the ceremony and feast, Toph had gone back to her chamber separately to prepare for the wedding night. Rema was helping her let down her hair and change into a robe, before she was to go to the wedding bed and Zuko. Toph's stomach churned with nerves and excitement.
Her mother had taken her aside one day and awkwardly explained everything about the wedding night, warning her that it would likely hurt, but assuring her that the pain was temporary and would be quickly replaced with pleasure. Her mother had also told her of remedies to prevent unwanted pregnancy and advised her on various ways of pleasing both herself and her new husband. Toph had thought that she would die of embarrassment at the time, but now she was secretly glad for her mother's words in her mind.
Rema finished removing the hairpins and began gently brushing out her long dark hair. Toph's mouth was dry and she took a sip of wine. Seeming to sense her unease, Rema squeezed her shoulder in encouragement. "He will be gentle My Lady." Rema's voice was soft, comforting.
Toph swallowed hard. "I know he will. It's just a bit…" She trailed off.
"Scary, isn't it?" Rema finished for her. "I was afraid my first time too, but I promise you'll be all right. The intimacy shared with a lover or spouse is deeper than you could ever imagine and the pleasure and joy you feel at his touch will make the pain seem insignificant."
Toph nodded silently, her smile faint, before another thought struck her. "…I am not ready for children yet Rema. My mother spoke of some herbs…"
"Of course My Lady. I prepared a draught for you just in case." Rema's hands left her hair and Toph heard her move across the room, then return, placing a goblet on the vanity. "They are bitter My Lady, so I have mixed them with honeyed wine. You can drink them now, they will last."
Toph nodded again, seizing the goblet and downing its contents.
A few minutes later, she was padding through the private corridor leading to Zuko's room, Rema a pace behind her. Approaching the door she hesitated for a second, then pushed open the door.
Zuko was standing by the window, but even from this distance, she could feel his heart pounding. At least he was as nervous as she. Feeling one last shoulder squeeze and blessing for luck from Rema, she stepped into the room. Zuko turned but waited for her to approach him.
"Feels a little odd doesn't it?" He asked with a quiet chuckle. "You look lovely by the way."
"Thanks." She smiled at him and shyly took his hand. They stood quietly for a moment, hearts pounding, thoughts racing. Finally, she stepped close and stood on her tiptoes to kiss him. Hesitant at first, his arms soon circled her waist, pulling her against his bare chest as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
Their questing tongues soon met and their breath began to come sharply as they explored each other. Kissing feather soft against her neck, Zuko worked his way down to her collarbone, slipping her robe off one shoulder. Toph slid her hands over his chest and then to his shoulders and back, sloughing off his open robe. Small gasps were escaping their mouths now and Zuko didn't stop kissing her as he picked her up and carried her over to the bed. As he set her down however, he broke off and cupped her cheek in one hand.
"Toph, I swear I will go as slow as you want. I never want you to feel afraid of me. You're in control here, got it?" His voice was serious. Toph smiled back at him, cheeks pink with desire and tension.
Zuko stepped back and removed his trousers, allowing them to rustle to the floor. Then he stepped forwards again, spreading his hands. "Take a good look. I won't do anything."
Scooting to the edge of the bed, Toph reached out a trembling hand until she touched his chest. His pecs were hard under his smooth, warm skin and she felt a few soft hairs and a roughly star-shaped scar between them. Following the trail of hairs to his belly button, she then placed her other hand on his flat, muscled stomach as well.
Gaining confidence, her roving hands discovered a ticklish spot on his ribs. Hearing his startled laugh, she chuckled and let her hands move further back around his sides, encountering more smooth skin and hard muscle, interrupted by a few scars here and there. He turned obligingly and she ran her fingers upwards from his narrow waist towards his strong shoulders, kneading gently around the shoulder blades and tickling the back of his neck under his hair.
Then she swallowed, feeling nervous again as she trailed her hands back down towards his firm butt. Feeling his heart race, she hesitantly allowed herself to slide down to his powerful thighs. She could feel more soft hairs here and they increased as she approached his knees. Another startled laugh revealed that the backs of his knees were ticklish too and she smiled.
Turning him gently back around, she felt her heart pound as she ascended the front of his legs. He shuddered as her hands caressed his inner thighs and she hesitated for a full minute before continuing up to his manhood.
When her fingers brushed it, he moaned and she felt it jump in her hands. She pulled back in surprise and he chuckled weakly. "Sorry. Mind of its own. That feels… amazing."
Certain that she was as red as it was possible to be, she tentatively resumed her exploration, pleased to elicit such a response. Her fingers curled around his velvety shaft, feeling it grow and harden under her touch.
When she had explored the entire thing, she stood and slid her own robe off as well. She heard his sharp inhalation and for a moment, worried that she had been a disappointment. Zuko soon reassured her however, murmuring professions of love and desire as he laid her down gently on the bed, slowly and carefully discovering her body with his hands and mouth.
He would caress every inch with his hands and then follow up with feather kisses. Everywhere he touched became hot and soon she thought she would burst into flame. His large, callused hands slid up her stomach and cupped the gentle swells of her breasts, kneading them gently before covering them in kisses and teasing licks. Toph couldn't believe how good it felt, and having him touch her and exclaim happily over what he found made her fairly burst with happiness. When he reached her nest of curls though, he stopped, kissing her on the mouth instead.
She curled her fingers in his hair and when they pulled away, she snuggled up against his chest, suddenly afraid. His arms wrapped around her in a hug and they lay there for a minute, heartbeats racing.
"I really love you, you know?" Zuko's voice was hesitant. "We don't have to do this if you're not ready." She felt his honesty. He would wait if she asked. Spirits, she loved him!
"No!" Her voice came out louder than she had expected. "I am Toph, the greatest earthbender in the world. I can do this!" She heard him chuckle softly.
"That's my girl. At your own pace ok?"
She could sense his desire as well as his concern and she rolled on top of him, remembering a tip from her mother. 'Some women find it helpful to manage penetration themselves by being on top and sliding down onto it.' Positioning herself above him, she began lowering herself before she remembered the rest of the tip: 'Make sure it's nice and wet though. Lubricating oils can be used, or even your mouth.'
She didn't know where any oils might be, that just left… the other thing. Biting her lip, she slid down his legs until she felt him in front of her face. She could feel the heat of it from there and it was already standing erect. Oh so slowly, she stuck out her tongue and brushed it against the shaft. He gasped and she felt it twitch. It didn't taste bad though, and the texture was soft against her tongue.
Intrigued, she licked again and again, fascinated by the taste, texture and not least, the reaction she got from him. It made her feel… powerful in a way that she had never experienced before. She began to smile and soon slid the tip into her mouth. It was larger than she expected and she couldn't fit much in before she felt like she would gag. Zuko didn't seem to mind though and he gasped, his hands stroking her hair as she bobbed slowly up and down.
She became so engrossed by the new experience that she was surprised when Zuko tapped her on the head. "Toph sweetheart… ah!… if you keep this up, I won't be able to… ah!... stop myself. You can swallow or… gah!... spit me out or…ah!... I can cum on my stomach, but…ah!... it's gonna be soon." Wide eyed and determined, she nodded, but didn't stop her ministrations. Sure enough, in a minute she heard his breath catch and felt his muscles tense. "Oh Agni, Toph! It's so good! Oh Agni, yes! I'm gonna-! Aah!"
Zuko's whole body arced and hot liquid burst on her tongue, tasting salty and sweet and she recoiled slightly out of instinct as it filled her mouth. Not quite sure what to do, she swallowed quickly and kept sucking, hoping it was the right thing to do. Zuko was writhing around, gasping and mumbling, "Oh Agni! Oh Agni! Oh Toph, so good!"
Finally easing up, she released it from her mouth and licked it once more, feeling both pleased and embarrassed. Zuko was still gasping and petting her head, so she assumed she had done well. Wriggling up into his arms, she lay there for a minute, listening to him murmuring thanks, love and appreciation. His hands stroked her back all the way down to her butt and soon she began to feel warm desire again.
She kissed him and he cupped her butt, gently caressing and massaging it. Then he rolled her under him, trailing kisses down her sensitive neck again, eliciting gasps and moans. Smiling against her skin, he softly took one of her nipples into his mouth. She gasped sharply once more, unable to believe how good it felt as he swirled his tongue and sucked, teasing her.
After a few minutes, he kissed her again and his hand slipped down towards her nest of curls, gently probing. She whimpered in pleasure and bit his shoulder. He laughed softly at that, slipping his finger inside her with great care. It felt strange and wonderful, and she couldn't help but gasp as his finger touched a sensitive place inside her and began massaging it. His gentle teasing soon had her writhing and she marveled at how amazing it felt when his soft tongue began exploring down there as well.
Pleasure was building inside her. Every kiss, lick and stroke of his finger drove her closer and closer to some final destination of ecstasy. Her gasps came quicker and louder and finally she screamed in pleasure, her whole body arcing and spasming. Zuko growled in appreciation, slackening his movements gradually until she lay still, panting.
Soon, he slid his finger out and she could tell that he was ready again. She could feel the unspoken question and she nodded before licking him a few times to get him nice and wet. Then she positioned herself above him, legs still shaky from her orgasm. His hands steadied her hips as she slowly pressed down onto him.
There was pressure, not unpleasant at first but growing in intensity as she pushed downwards. It became almost unbearable and she bit her lip against the pain. Then all at once, there was a popping sensation and the pain rolled over her. She cried out before she could bite it back and Zuko's fingers tightened around her waist in concern, supporting her weight.
"Toph? You ok? Do you need to stop?"
She shook her head mutely, fighting back the tears that threatened. Oma and Shu, it hurt! Why was he so big? He stroked her sides gently, murmuring encouragement and love, but she wasn't really listening; instead she concentrated on her breathing.
After what seemed like an eternity, the pain began to abate, but there was still an uncomfortable fullness. Taking a few more steadying breaths, she resolved to continue. The worst of it seemed to be over and she could feel her body adjusting to his width as she slid minutely downwards until he was all the way inside her. Pausing there, she lay down on his chest, straddling him.
He held her close and kissed her gently, telling her that he was so proud of her and that he loved her so much. They stayed that way for a minute, and then Toph sat up and slowly began sliding off of him again. She stopped before it could pull all the way out and then pushed down again slowly, becoming more used to the feeling of it inside her.
Soon the discomfort had been replaced by other, better feelings: pride, love, intimacy, even pleasure. The latter grew as they continued and Zuko began rocking his hips slightly along with her rhythm, thrusting into her. Then he rolled her over carefully so his large body covered hers. In this position, he slid against her differently and she felt a warm rush every time he grazed that certain place inside.
He made love to her slowly, building up their pleasure until finally her gasps turned to screams and moans and she felt her body clenching as the earthquake of ecstasy crashed over her again. A few seconds later he joined her, crying out, and she felt his heat spreading inside her.
They lay entwined for a minute, panting and kissing, until Zuko rolled off of her and she pushed up onto one shoulder. He stroked her stomach softly. "Was that ok? Did it hurt too much?"
Smiling, she punched him in the shoulder. "I'll get you back in the practice ring."
At that, he laughed breathlessly and gathered her into his arms, relieved. "Thank Agni. I was really worried about you for a minute there. By the way, for an amateur, you sure give one hell of a blowjob. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven."
She smirked, blushing pink. "I'm the best Sparky, when are you going to learn?"
"Oh I don't doubt it but I have to say I'm looking forward to my lessons."
Punching him in the arm again, she snuggled up against his shoulder and closed her eyes. Within a few minutes, they slept.
A/N: ^/^ Hehe, this is my first time sharing a lemon. I was going for a sort of sweet and awkward feel since they are new to each others' bodies. Please let me know what you think? xoxo
