Safe Word

Korra walked into her suite and quietly closed the door behind her. She stood at the entrance for a moment and just breathed, releasing a long deep sigh. She felt like she had been holding that in all night, but in the best way possible. Kuivra made her so nervous and excited. She was so different, intimidating at times, but then so caring in her own sort of unique ways.

They went to a tournament at the golden palace, Korra hadn't been to one in such a long time that it was a nostalgic ride back to their college days. Kuvira never cared much for sports so Korra knew that was entirely to please her. Then they went to a pretty fancy restaurant which made Korra feel a bit out of place. All she really needed was a bowl of shredded seaweed noodle and ocean cumquats to be happy. Kuvira, however made it up to her by going down town for rustic street food deserts.

Tonight was just so perfect and actually got her mind off of her daily stresses.

Korra walked into her room and removed her shoes. As she reached behind her back for the zipper of her dress she heard an unexpected knock at her door. She quickly went to answer it unsure if it was who she thought it would be. Kuvira had a 4am wake up call tomorrow so she had already told her she couldn't come in for a night cap.

"Mako? What are you still doing awake?" She whispered.

"I couldn't sleep." He replied coming into her room with his hands in his leather jacket.

Korra closed her door and turned to him concerned, he seemed a bit out of sorts. "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

"No, I couldn't sleep without talking to you first. I don't want us to be upset with each other, I-"

"Stop," She interrupted. She took his hand and guided him to her living room and pushed him down onto her loveseat. Sitting beside him she crossed her arms feeling a bit awkward that she was still dressed for her date with Kuvira.

"Mako I'm not mad at you," He looked at her relieved but then bowed his head as if physically conveying that he deserved her anger.

"Yesterday night I just got really frustrated and I got a bit emotional, but I've cooled down and I've had a really nice talk with someone."

"So have I, well nice isn't the word I'd use but-"

"Well, she told me that I can't force you to be my friend." Mako looked up at her surprised.

"Kuvira told you that?"

"Yes" Korra nodded, "And she's right. I shouldn't push you when you're not ready. I just thought being your friend might make this "getting close" thing less awkward-"

He huffed, "She basically told me the exact opposite."

"What?" Korra gasped in disbelief.

"This morning at breakfast, she said that I needed to make some compromise with myself. If I stay in this comfort zone where I fear of hurting you I'm not actually solving my issues."

Korra scooted a bit closer to him, "Do you agree with that?"

Mako paused, "Yes, I do."

"So what is it that you want to do? I'm open to anything you're comfortable with."

Mako stood up and faced away from her, fidgeting with his jacket for a moment. "I had to drive into town today to meet with Bei-fong. I got my answer from the department of justice and I'll be appointed her newest detective next week."

"Really!" Korra jumped up out of her seat, "That's amazing Mako!"

She recoiled a little, realizing there would probably be a ceremony and press coverage. Friends and family invited which meant he was probably only telling her this because he wasn't going to invite her to come.

"I..I'm really happy for you" She breathed cursing under her breath as her voice cracked.

"Thank you, Bei-fong said the ceremony is tightly secured so you'll need an individual letter to attend. And I'd really love if all of my friends would be there."

Mako turned around and pulled a long thin envelope out of his pocket. On the front center Korra's name was printed in gold ink.

Korra sighed, uncaring if her eyes were glossy with gratitude. "Really?" She whispered.

"I couldn't think of anyone who would take your place." Mako replied confidently.

Korra ran to him and threw her arms around his neck in a tight embrace. He hugged her waist holding her close as a wave of relief washed over him. This felt right, like something he was so scared to do ended up being much eaiser than he realized.

"Thank you" Korra said. Her breath grazing the shell of his ear as her grip on his shoulders seemed to tighten. She wasn't ready to let go yet but Mako had other news.

"I should let you know something though,"

"What it is?" Korra replied. Her eyes studied his face closely as he looked a bit hesitant. "Whatever it is I can handle it."

"I invited Asami," He whispered.

Korra blinked, still a bit uneasy at the sound of her name. "T-that's fine, she's your friend too"

Mako raised a sharp brow skeptically. "I know it can be awkward."

Korra only shrugged, "I mean it, she's your friend, I cant stop you from inviting her and I know she'd want to support you."

Mako took her hand, "Thank you for understanding."

She forced a grin and stood on the tips of her toes, "Your welcome," She gave him a quick peck on the lips before walking toward her room. "Now get out, I'm tried."

"See you tomorrow." He chuckled.

Korra changed into her pajamas and settled under her comforter. Suddenly her good mood was spoiled and she couldn't shake it.

So she'd be seeing Asami again sooner than she thought. That was fine, she told herself. Everything will be fine.

She held her blanket close and forced her eyes shut. A small pool of anxiety prickled in her chest.

The whole purpose of getting closer to Mako was to get over this bruised relationship, so she needed to focus on that. Cling to her friends for comfort and support, they were always there for her.

The following morning Korra practically pranced down the hallway toward Mako's door. It was day three, last day of pleasantries, political meetings, and kissing up to her uncle. She was in such a good mood and it was about to get a whole lot better.

Her friend detective Mako was the first thing on her mind when she woke up and she desperately needed to pay him..a visit.

"Morning Bolin!" She beamed as the boy sharply dressed for the day walked passed her.

"Morning!" He paused and turned around once he noticed she was heading further down the hall past his room, "Where are you going?"

Korra stopped and smiled, "Just wanted to see if Mako was awake."

"Mako? Really?" Bolin replied in complete shock. When were they...When did they?

"You?" Korra asked casually.

Bolin shrugged off his confusion, I guess when Mako said they were working it out, they finally did? "Meeting Opal and her family for breakfast."

"Oh that's right! They're here representing Zaofu!"

"Yeah," Bolin grinned, she could tell he was stoked to see his girlfriend again.

"Tell them I say hi!"

"Will do, see you later."

Korra waved goodbye before knocking on Mako's door. Since it was the last day of the conference they were more lenient on the attire attendees could wear. Korra decided on a suit jacket pair with a matching pencil skirt. She smoothed out any wrinkles and tucked a few pieces of her hair behind her ear. She didn't know why she was pampering herself so much, especially since he's seen her at her complete worst.

Her friend answered the door while tucking the tail of his red scarf into his jacket.

"Morning," Korra smiled.

"Hey," He replied, surprised to see her but still allowing her into his room regardless. He figured she was here for one specific reason, but he didn't think they'd have the time.

"We need to be at City Hall in 30 minutes."

"I know but first, I have something for you" She turned on her heel and plopped down on his bed with a sly expression. Mako looked down to see a small little box in her hands.

He slowly walked up to her watching her expression for any signs of mischief. She held up the box and he hesitated to take it from her.

"Don't worry detective it's not a bomb." She teased.

He took the box and flipped open the lid to reveal a small pink silicone ball with a four inch tail attached.

"What the hell is this?"

"A vibrator," Korra replied boldly.

His eyes shot up in response, "And it's supposed to going in where?"

He may be open to some of Korra's kinks but he was certainly drawing the line at others.

Korra belted in a fit of laughter as she realized what he thought she meant. After a few seconds to wipe the tears from her eyes she walked over to him and picked it up, "Inside me you idiot."

"oh," He blushed.

She sat down and shimmed the skirt down her legs. She kicked off her heels in the same motion to make it easier to disrobe. Mako noticed that although she chose to wear underwear today it was mostly composed of string than fabric. Just enough to cover her sex but her hips and ass lewdly exposed.

"Where'd you get it from?"

"When Kuvira and I went down town last night we stopped at Deja Varrick's body shoppe. She recommended it."

"So it's definitely safe to assume she knows about us?" Mako asked. He approached his bed and took the vibrator from her hands. She looked up at him gratefully as she was secretly hoping he'd put it in for her.

"Yes, I hope that's okay. Being in the closet was my idea. I didn't mean to expose us. I actually wanted to make it up to you."

"I'm more surprised that she's okay with dating you." He kneeled down and parted her legs wide enough for his shoulders to fit in between. He then cupped the backs of her calfs and pulled her closer to the edge of the bed where his mouth and hands waited patiently to continue.

Korra slightly shivered at the cold breeze between her legs, "I think she's into it,"

"What?" Mako scoffed.

"I don't know, Kuvira isn't bothered at all by our...agreement. I think it might even be a turn on for her. Why else would she recommend a sex toy for two?"

Mako shook his head, "So she could use it with you,"

"Jealous?" Korra teased.

"Why would I be when I already have you?" Mako replied with a confident smirk.

Korra blushed and evaded his gaze, something about him being territorial with her was incredibly hot.

At first Mako was a bit annoyed by Kuvira's interference. But he quickly realized he didn't need to be. She wasn't changing anything between him and Korra. Strangely enough, she helped strengthen their bond.

"W-where's your phone?" Korra asked. He picked it up from his bedside table and tossed it to her.

"What do you need it for?" He pulled her underwear to one side exposing her smooth skin and outer lips.

"The vibrator is remote controlled from the Varrick industries app on your phone."

Mako paused finally understanding what she came here to do and admittedly it was an immediate turn on. He wanted to be discreet and this was as private as they could possibly get.

"I see" He breathed.

He bent forward and slowly kissed her flesh. Each nip getting wider as his tongue dragged along her clit and between her lips. He wasn't just going to shove the thing inside her without making the process more enjoyable, which in turn less painful. He lathered her up enjoying the slight scent of her skin from the shower she must have just taken. He flicked the tip of his tongue against her clit enjoying the warmth of her body.

Korra leaned back on her palms and moaned, her hips gently rocking against his face. She glanced at his bedside clock and remembered they were supposed to be in the dining hall with the others by now. As Mako's tongue slithered over her sex she shivered in delight. Oh but this was definitely a better alternative for breakfast.

Once Mako deemed she was properly lubricated he pulled back earning a small plea from his friend with benefits.

"Don't stop just yet." She whined.

"We don't have a lot of time," He reminded her. Korra groaned as he parted her lips and gently pushed the pink ball inside her.

"Ah!" Korra jumped. Her body tensed as she hissed between her teeth.

"Does it hurt?" Mako asked, "We can try again."

"No," Korra sat up and placed her hand over his. She guided the device deeper inside with cautious pressure. "It's fine, it's just bigger than I thought."

Once it was secured, Mako stood back up and just stared at her. It was definitely a weird sight seeing a pink silicone strand poking out of her like that. "What does it feel like?"

Korra rolled her hips silently, trying to find a comfortable position to sit. She could feel it was there but only in the same way as inserting a tampon. The string used to pull it out being more uncomfortable than the actual thing. The pink cord was flexible enough to curve with her underwear so she didn't have to walk around with it dangling between her legs.

"Different." She sighed.

"Now what?" Mako asked.

"Open the app on your phone and put this code in to sync the device." Korra picked up the box and pulled out a small piece of paper with instructions on it.

"O-E-5B..7"

Mako tapped silently on his phone, "5..B-7. All set now."

"Good," Korra pulled back up her skirt and buttoned the back. She stood up and stepped into her heels causally as if there wasn't a sex toy shoved up her body.

"I know these conferences get boring and since this is our last day I thought we should have some fun."

She sauntered past him and placed a suggestive hand on his shoulder, "I'll see you in there."

Mako only nodded as she walked away, his thumb hovering over the silver dial that controlled the speed and pulse of the toy.

"Ah!" Korra belted as she felt a strong buzz from with in. She tripped over her heels as her knees buckled and legs trembled. She grabbed the handle of his door to steady herself.

"Fuck!" She moaned again. On second thought, this might be more difficult than she originally planned. She looked over her shoulder in surprise as her muscles tightened. She didn't expect him to turn it up so high and so quickly. It also didn't help that his few minutes of oral had already gotten her sensitive and riled up.

Mako charged up to her and pressed her back against his door. His eyes were low and jaw tight in a sort of dominant way that made Korra feel even more submissive than she already was. He glanced over to his phone in his right hand and toggled the control, making the vibrations alternate between high and low.

Korra tilted her head up and groaned, "Ahhf- mmm!" Her hips bucked forward as if she was trying to ease her ache.

Mako grabbed her chin with his left hand and brought her to face him. His eyes were intense and focused. He seemed almost fascinated with how she responded.

Korra moaned against his lips as he leaned in to kiss her. She knew he would enjoy this but it wasnt until this very moment that she realized how turned on he'd be with having this much control.

"ahh," She gasped, her lashes fluttering.

"Does it feel good?" he whispered, his breath hot against her face.

"y-ye-yes" Korra sputtered unable to truly catch her breath.

He slid his hand down her face, trailing between her breasts to the small cut on the side of her skirt. He pulled up the fabric just enough to reach between her legs and caress her sex.

Korra groaned, her breath uneasy as he changed modes again, "Good, just wanting to get familiar with it."

His fingers lightly touched the tail of the device to feel the subtle vibrations he was guiding. He experimented with different variations all at Korra's expense as she was helplessly moaning and gasping for air.

She grabbed his arm and sucked in a harsh breath, "S-stop."

He immediately complied and she released a big sigh, "Fuck, we need a safe word or something."

Mako pulled back and apologized, "Sorry, I-I got a bit carried away,"

Korra glanced down to see his ragging erection and smirked, "No...I enjoyed it." She placed her hands on his shoulders, "Just be a bit more subtle if you can."

Mako nodded, "I could but..Where's the fun in that?"

Korra blinked as her cheeks burned bright red, "oh?"

Who ever the hell this was, it surely wasn't the prissy officer she was familiar with. When he said friends with benefits, he damn well meant it.

"I have a proposition" He began. He pressed his weight against her body making her feel his thick desire as it brushed against her leg.

Korra swallowed, her eyes wide as she was completely enamored by him. He kissed her slowly and passionately, fitting her bottom lip perfectly between his teeth.

"If you can last the day," He turned the vibrator on again, holding it to a small low "hum".

"mhmm" Korra swooned, biting into her lip. She tried to focus on his words but she was slowly loosing concentration.

"I'll make it up to you next time." Mako continued.

Korra sighed, gathering some composure, "And how to I know my...reward will be worth it?"

"Because I know what you like, and what you've asked from me."

Mako was confident and in Korra's current state of mind she couldn't think of a good enough reason not to agree with his terms.

She slowly bent her knees and knelt down before him.

"Agreed."

The water tribe girl unzipped his pants while her blues eyes held his gaze in a silent plea. He had his morning breakfast, now it was time for her meal as well. Korra pulled down his pants along with his boxers freeing his stiff erection.

Mako grabbed her chin and tilted her head up to face him, "Safe word?"

Korra thought for a minute.

"Flameo" She winked.

-O-

Much later, Korra walked into the hallway leading to the main conference room. Her white lotus guards were flanking a few paces behind her just as they had done during every meeting the past weekend. Korra's agreement for them was as long as she had privacy before and after the working day. They were free to enjoy their own time and all the complementaries and pleasantries living in a grand suite could offer.

From what they told her room service was immaculate and the in-house spa was worth a try. She was happy they were able to take a few days off. After all, they were normal people underneath their uniforms.

"Korra! I didnt see you at breakfast."

She turned to see Kuvira jogging up to her. Korra met her half way and they hugged in a quick embrace. "Yeah sorry, I got a little caught up in - paperwork!"

Kuvira pulled back from their hug in shock at Korra's sudden out burst. "Are you okay?"

Korra's eyes frantically looked around the corridor scanning bodies and scattered faces. Sure enough, she found him.

Mako was standing with Bei-Fong and the others, his cell phone in hand. She noticed the slight curve of a smile as he quickly looked away toward his fellow officers.

asshole.. "Yeah sorry, sometimes these shoes are a little painful."

Kuvira scoffed, "That's why I never wear those death traps."

They turned and walked into the room, "But they do make your legs look nice."

Korra forced a laugh although it was breathy and broken up. She was trying her hardest to walk straight and breath normally. The toy inside her was buzzing against her walls, teasing her senses in a gradual ascend. As she sat down the buzzing subsided and she silently thanked her consensual tormentor.

Korra was seated toward the front with the other representatives. Kuvira across from her, and Mako a third of the way down the table. As the meeting began the anticipation was driving her mad. From how eager he was to use it this morning she figured she'd be a wet and trembling mess by now, but he was being very tactical. Of course he was..signature Mako.

As the commanding officer in Kuvira's guild continued his lecture Korra listened attentively. Almost thirty minutes had gone by and she figured Mako wasn't going to try anything during this meeting. It was an important one.

"The assassination of the Earth Queen left many people in disarray. The riots and gang activities increased beyond control.."

"In the fives years I've been deployed we've stabilized 90% of the chaos." Kuvira reassured.

"But now many are without homes and proper resources, so we are greatly appreciative we have so many supporters in our next mission-"

"Ah!" Korra yelled, quickly bowing her head as all eyes shot to her direction.

"Do you have something to add Korra of the Southern Water Tribe?" The commander asked.

She sat in silence for a few moments finding her breath, "I'm..excited to offer my aid on behalf of the South." She replied.

Her lips curved in a soft O shape as she focused on remaining discreet and unbothered. She was moments away from panting like a dog in heat. Her thighs began to shake mimicking the buzzing movement penetrating her sex.

Of course he would turn it on when she least expected.

"I am aware your people have much experience in rebuilding your nation." He continued.

Korra sat up straight and swallowed, her throat suddenly feeling dry. "The South has spent many decades rebuilding our tribe. W-we know how to use resources! ...productively."

She cringed in embarrassment trying to look as sane as possible. The meeting continued and no one seemed to question her behavior other than a few weird looks.

"Ohh." She breathed, passing it off as a yawn.

Kuvira looked across the table with her head tilted in confusion. "Are you sure you're okay?" She whispered.

"Y-yes I'm.. ahhh-ha!" Korra reached across the table and grabbed a napkin to act as if she had to cover her nose from an oncoming sneeze.

"I'm fine!" She quickly replied.

Korra shot a quick glance toward Mako to see he was acting completely casual. He was "writing notes" on his phone like others were doing in order to keep important details on hand. He ran his fingers along his jaw aimlessly before glancing up to meet her gaze. His hazel eyes were low and seductive sharing a knowing glance that melted her to the core.

They were doing this in public. No not just publicly. Literally, in front of the eyes of some of the world's more respected leaders. She was so turned on by this it ached.

"Mm." Korra muffled into the napkin as his right thumb began to swivel over the dial. The vibrator now alternated between short spurs of vibration to quick stops.

She looked away with her head held high as she tried to act unfazed. However her determination was quickly deteriorating by the second. She was definitely wet now, wet and desperately needy.

In an attempt to relieve herself she faked a quick stretch of her arms and as so, she rolled her hips forward, grinding her womanhood against the cushion of her seat. She shivered from the pressure easing the tenderness of her clit and dared to do it again. Fuck, It felt so good...

Kuvira's eyes flicked up from her note taking and she watched as Korra stretched. The General noticed the slight shift in her weight and arch of her back. It suddenly struck her that she was very familiar with what Korra was doing. That grinding motion was forever burned into her mind. But there was no way..

She looked at Mako and although his phone was out he wasn't using it at the moment.

Did Korra have the vibrator in? Right now?

Kuvira stirred a little at just the thought. Korra was obviously an expeditionist, that much was certain. However, when she suggested the toy she didn't think the girl would use it the very next day.

Admittedly she was a little jealous. Mostly because of how sexy that was, and how badly she wished she could take part in it.

For the last thirty minutes of the meeting Mako left the device on and buzzing to his pure delight. Korra however, was about to burst. She was desperately waiting for them to conclude so she could run to the bathroom and finish herself off. She was supposed to be stronger than this given their deal, but that was the furthest thing from her mind right now.

She looked over at Mako, waiting for him to notice. When he did she tried to mouth her safe word.

"F L A MEO"

He looked at her comically amused. "W H A T" he mouthed back.

Korra rolled her eyes, knowing damn well he was toying with her.

"Flameo" she whispered desperately.

Again Mako acted completely oblivious. She knew what he wanted and what she had to do. Safe words were spoken out loud with no conviction.

Korra whimpered as her body began to shake. She was moments away from loosing their bet.

...shit!

"F-Flameo!" Korra shouted.

Everyone looked at her again and she smiled awkwardly, "Flameo everyone! I can't wait for this summer so that our plans can be in put in motion!" She laughed.

"Flameo indeed," Tenzin added.

Kuvira quickly looked at Mako and saw his thumb pressed against the screen of his phone. He quickly put the device in his pocket but that was all the confirmation she needed.

Korra put her forehead in her hand and cringed. She breathed a sigh of relief though as Mako turned the toy off, for now.

"And with that, this meeting is adjourned." The Commander announced.

Korra bolted out of the door and to the nearest restroom. Her lotus guards trailed quickly behind her.

Mako coughed up a laugh as he gathered his things.

"Don't let anyone else in!" Korra ordered as she ran through the restroom door.

She sat down in the stall and practically tore her skirt from her legs. Her underwear was drenched and sex aching to be touched.

Kuvira calmly approached the door but was stopped by Korra's guards, "No one is allowed in at this time." They said.

The General placed her hands on her hips, "Under whose orders?"

"Korra, of the Southern Water Tribe"

Kuvira tried to walk passed them but they blocked her path, "I just want to make sure Korra is okay," She voiced.

"Anyone unwilling to comply will be arrested under the jurisdiction of the Southern Water Tribe."

The General stood her ground and crossed her arms over her chest. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Mako heading toward the court yard.

Before Korra could touch herself she heard a text tone notification on her phone.

-That wasn't part of our deal- Mako sent.

Korra groaned in agony, -What do you want from me? -

-To keep your word Korra -

-How do you expect me to last like this?- She sent an emoji of a face that was crying large dramatic animated tears.

Mako stood at the double doors of the court yard that overlooked an open koi pond. He smiled at Korra's text and found this whole scenario erotic satisfaction.

-Handcuffs- He replied.

Korra's stomach pounced as she remembered she did request that from him, -Seriously?-

-And More..- Mako added. -Just relax and let the sensation pass, I won't turn it on until you're ready.-

Korra sighed and pulled up her skirt. Prolonging his pleasure was Mako's speciality, Korra on the other hand wasn't nearly as patient.

-Okay- she replied.

-Good Girl.-

As Mako tucked his phone away he heard a voice from behind. "Give it to me."

Mako turned around to see General Kuvira. "Excuse me?"

She walked up to him with a stern face and shoulders square, "Give it to me." She repeated.

Mako matched her harsh gaze as he strolled around her casually, "You're going to need to be a bit more specific General."

"Give me the code to Korra's vibrator." She snapped.

Mako paused and turned on his heel to face her. For once he had the upper hand and he was going to enjoy every moment of it.

"This kills you, doesn't it?"

"I don't have to answer to you." She replied.

"No, but your actions speak for you"

"My actions lead to you and Korra becoming friends, and this is the thanks I get?"

"It was a selfless gesture, and I appreciate it." Mako replied.

"This isn't some sort of friendly competition." Kuvira retorted. Korra wasn't property to either of them. Only when she wanted to play that role.

"Hm, then why not ask Korra yourself?" He approached the woman who stood only a few inches shorter than he and smirked, "Or better yet, did it ever occur to you that if Korra wanted you to have it. She would have given it to you?"

They were practically nose to nose now, flexing their dominance.

"You think I'm threatened by you." Kuvira scoffed.

"You don't have to be." Mako pulled out his phone remembering all the times Korra was screaming his name. "Because Korra is,"

Mako opened the Varrick industries app and Kuvira watched with sizzling eyes. She had to admit she was impressed. Mako had some gall in him after all. And it was different than when Korra acted intimidating. The detective actually had some stock to his claims.

When she didn't reply he took that as leeway to continue his stroll through the yard. "Have a good afternoon General"

"I hope you don't expect her later on, we've already made plans and I intend to keep her very occupied!" Kuvira added.

"I don't doubt it." He muttered. He held up his cell phone and toggled the device deviously, "I'll warm her up for you."

As she watched the detective saunter away, her eyes lingered on his form with intrigue.
