CHAPTER 42: We are the universe
"The body can become a vehicle to that which is beyond the body."
"You feeling a little better?" Aang's soft voice sounded from behind her on the balcony.
The cool evening air enveloped her like a soothing hug.
She and Aang were standing together on one of the balconies of the palace, the soft glow of a lantern casting a warm, golden light around them.
Nii took another deep breath, inhaling the crisp air as she leaned against the railing, her gaze drifting out over the many windows of the palace below.
She nodded at him.
She was feeling better now that she had escaped the discomfort of cooked flesh in the dining hall.
She winced a little at herself.
"I'm sorry, Aang, you don't have to stay here with me," she rushed with a slight flush over her cheeks. "I just… I'm kinda surprised how my body reacted."
She could hear him chuckle behind her, before he walked over to stand next to her by the railing and sent her a smile.
"Well, it IS really gross," he agreed in a smile, his gaze genuine with warmth. "It your first time?"
"Yeah," she nodded, a shy smile on her lips.
No one back in the village ate meat.
They never harmed an animal just for the pleasure of it, and never to eat it, as they saw the animals as integral parts of life, essential for their survival and the harmony of the jungle. They had always observed and learned from the behavior of the animals instead, drawing inspiration from their wisdom and instincts.
Nii could feel Aang's hand on the small of her back.
It felt warm and supportive, and she turned her gaze to meet with his.
"I get it," he said gently. "I got used to it after some time... But to be honest, it's kinda nice that I'm not the only one here on the no-meat wagon."
He cast her a playful grin, and his eyes suddenly sparkled with mischief.
"Besides," he added with a chuckle. "I guess our bodies do have a way of surprising us sometimes."
His hand suddenly felt quite hot on her back, and all of a sudden, it was as if a current of anticipation surged between them, melding their energies together in some sort of invisible dance.
She became very aware of his breath, and his touch started sending small tingling sensations racing along her skin, causing her senses to heighten a little.
Nii could not help but to chuckle at his remark.
"You're not talking about food anymore, are you?" she snickered at him.
"No," he breathed in a solemn voice, and she noticed that the smile on his lips had disappeared.
It caused a rush of heat to pool in her belly.
A breathy giggle escaped her lips, before she gulped down, trying to quell the sudden surge of pulsating energy that rushed through her.
But it was futile, as his touch shifted subtly, and before long his fingertips were grazing lightly over the curve of her lower back.
Featherlight.
Almost like a whisper.
It felt like a gentle twirling stream of warm air that danced over her skin, leaving a sensation of ticklish lightness lingering in its wake. Like a breeze on a hot summer day, teasing and tantalizing, and her skin erupted in tingling goosebumps.
Without thinking, she arched her back just a little to press herself closer to his hand as if her body responded instinctively to his tantalizing caress, and she found herself unable to resist the magnetic pull of his touch.
She exhaled deeply.
She could not believe that a small touch like that could have her feeling all of this.
Her pulse quickened, and it seemed like a slow fire had been ignited beneath her skin.
"See?" Aang said in a deep exhale. "Just you doing that and I'm like…"
She saw him closing his eyes and biting his lower lip at a loss for words, and she felt her cheeks flush with heat.
"Like what?" she teased while cocking her eyebrow playfully at him.
Aang chuckled a little, his eyes still closed, before she felt his touch venturing further, his hand lowering slightly to graze lightly over the curve of her buttocks.
She could feel everything through the thin silk of her dress, and it caused her to exhale deeply into the evening air.
His fingers were playful yet they carried with them a potent blend of desire and mischief, and his touch sent shivers racing down her spine, leaving her breathless and acutely aware of every sensation.
She felt his fingers dancing teasingly over her skin, like a tantalizing invitation, and in a fleeting moment he traced the space between her buttocks, which caused a sudden rush of surprise and excitement to wash over her.
It was an unexpected sensation, and she could not help but to shift her weight slightly on her feet in a completely instinctive response to his tantalizing touch, which caused the space between her feet to widen, as if her body instinctively leaned into his touch, silently urging him to explore further, to delve deeper into the depths of her longing.
It was like the air suddenly crackled with a magnetic energy between them, binding them together.
And then, his touch became bolder, and she could not help but to hiss out in surprise when he grasped one of her buttocks.
The sensation was sudden, both electrifying and grounding, as if his touch anchored her to the present moment even more, as if his hand was molding her very essence by the intoxicating pull of his touch.
Nii's eyes widened while her cheeks flushed crimson with a mixture of surprise and arousal.
Her heart pounded in her chest as she struggled to process the overwhelming rush of desire that surged within her now, her senses reeling from the intoxicating proximity of his touch, so she felt herself once more leaning into his touch, craving even more closeness with him.
With a gentle movement, Aang stepped behind her, and he soon pressed his body against hers from behind, his warmth enveloping her in an embrace of comfort and arousal.
"Like this," he whispered into her ear, sending shivers down her spine, and then, with a soft brush of his lips against her neck, Aang kissed her tenderly, sending ripples of anticipation cascading down her body.
Nii melted into his embrace as she exhaled deeply.
"Like I just wanna skip dinner and…" he added in a whisper before he planted another kiss on her neck.
"Mh," she nodded while she bit her lower lip.
She could feel his arousal between her buttocks, and she could not help but to arch her back into him, which led him to reach his arms around her, and she felt his hands traveling over her stomach before they rested on her hips.
He exhaled deeply just near her ear, and the sensation had another set of goosebumps spread over her body, all the way from the top of her head to her toes.
Nii put her hands on top of his over her hips, and she delicately pressed her butt against his pelvis again in a tender gesture that was filled with unspoken longing and a silent invitation for closeness.
With a firm yet gentle grip, his hands pulled a little at her hips too, and she felt his hardening press at the space between her buttocks, and her body instinctively leaned a bit forward, earning for him to have even better access between her legs.
She heard a low, breathy groan escape his lips.
She almost lost herself in the moment, but she soon felt a warm wetness spread between her legs, and she suddenly remembered that she was wearing one of Katara's dresses.
"Aang…" she whispered in a hitched breath, straightening her back a little. "We need to…"
"Mh," he answered, before he took her hand and quickly led her back to her room.
When they reached her room, they almost fell through the door, and in between deep breaths and giggles, Nii quickly removed the dress from her body.
In a swift movement, her eyes scanned the dress, and she let out a relieved sigh as there were no spots.
She laid the dress gently over a chair, before she looked in the mirror in front of her to see Aang standing a couple of feet behind her.
His eyes were hungry over her body, and she sent him a coy smile through the mirror where their eyes connected.
Aang moved himself closer to her, before he wrapped his arms around her again, and this time they ventured to her breasts, and she closed her eyes when she felt him cupping them gently.
"Nii, you're so…" he whispered into her ear before he kissed her neck again, and she could do nothing but arch her back at him again.
She wanted him closer.
Every nerve in her body was on fire, her skin was on fire, tingling, undulating, and she could not get enough.
His hands traveled over her, exploring her softly, her breasts, her stomach, her hips, her thighs. She heard him groan out softly as one of his hands lightly grazed by the spot between her legs, and she knew that he had felt her wetness there.
She was ready for him.
She had never felt more ready in her life.
"I want to feel you," she whimpered, pushing her butt against him again, and she felt his hands leave her, and his body too, while he kissed her neck.
Anticipation only kept rising within her and she almost writhed under his kisses, causing his breathing to deepen even more.
She moaned when she felt the warmth of his naked body on her back. His arms around her, his breath in her ear, his hands dancing all over her and his arousal hard along her buttcheeks.
Lightening of excitement and pleasure coursed through her, and she could not help but to whimper out, feeling the closeness of their naked bodies pressed together.
She opened her eyes to look at him in the mirror.
His eyes were dark and hungry, and they traveled all over her as if they could not get enough.
Her naked body writhed against his, her breathing was quick, and she arched her back again, pushing herself against his arousal.
One of his hands left her, and she felt his arousal slide slowly down the middle of her buttcheeks only to rest between her thighs.
She felt herself lean over the chair, and Aang tilted his pelvis at her, causing his hardening to slide between her wet thighs.
He felt smooth and hard at the same time.
Like silk between her thighs.
And even though he was not touching her between her legs, pleasure was still rolling over her like thundering waves.
She heard him whimper, and she lifted her head to see his face.
He was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen.
She was completely intoxicated by him.
Aang opened his eyes that were even darker now from desire, and when their eyes met, he looked angry almost.
"Come," he said as he gently grabbed her arm to lead her over to the bed.
Just when they reached the bed, Nii stopped him with a hand on his chest.
"Lay down," she ordered with a smile, and he quickly complied, causing a giggle to escape her lips.
She let her eyes dance over him as he laid there, before she crawled over to him and straddled him, placing herself over his thighs just above his knees with her hands on his chest.
Aang's breathing was loud and quick.
She hushed at him, which caused him to close his eyes and chuckle at the hunger that burned so fiercely in both of them.
Then, with a mischievous glint in her eye, she pushed her lips out a little to gently blow a light stream of air over his chest.
When the invisible currents caressed his skin, it seemed like he felt a thrill race through him, tingling with the exhilarating realization of her playful gesture.
He chuckled out in a short breath, as his body responded instinctively, twitching beneath her, as if unable to contain the surge of excitement that coursed through him from the sensation of her breath dancing over his skin.
Aang threw his head back into a pillow when she softly blew another stream of air over him.
"Huh… You've no idea…" he whispered as his muscles seemed to tense and twitch in response, as if her breath on his skin teased and tantalized every inch of his body that she covered.
Nii smirked before she continued to blow air over his chest and stomach, before she trailed downward with an exquisite and tantalizing precision, slowly traveling from his heart chakra, over his solar plexus, past his sacral chakra and onwards down.
She felt his body shivering from pleasure beneath her, causing another wave of wetness to spread between her legs.
Aang seemed completely at her mercy, surrendered to the intoxicating ecstasy of her breath on his skin, and she could not help herself from leaning down to kiss the skin over his solar plexus chakra, which caused him to buck his hips slightly at her, causing her to feel his hardness just between her breasts.
She heard him groan out, and she noticed that wetness had also left his arousal, and she felt anticipation grow deep within her belly.
He wanted her.
And she wanted him - to feel him, all over her.
Inside her.
She sighed out in something between a deep exhale and a moan, as she felt the energies in their bodies move together, a profound connection forming between their heart and sacral chakras, weaving a taåestry of intimacy and passion that seemed to bind them together in a sacred union.
From the depth of her being, a pulsating energy emanated from her heart, vibrant hues of deep emerald green flowing freely in a connection of deep affection and respect which connected with the deep orange of her sacral chakra in her lower abdomen that resonated with a fiery passion, igniting a primal energy that pulsated with the intensity of their shared desire for each other.
It felt as if their energies converged, as if the boundaries between them started to blur, and she could not help but to crawl up to straddle him, a primal energy coursing through the air as her body inched closer to his until she was poised above him, her thighs straddling his hips.
Their gazes locked, while she slowly lowered herself down, her movements deliberate and purposeful, until his arousal brushed against hers, igniting an explosive surge of electric energy to course through them both.
It was as if their bodies aligned perfectly together, attuned to each other, lost to the world, and he firmly grasped her hips and pressed her body further down against his.
Nii whimpered out sweetly and closed her eyes, when she felt him slowly thrust his hips beneath her, earning his smooth and hard silk to slide between her legs, causing waves of pleasure to tremble through her body.
She felt engulfed in a whirlwind of ecstasy and desire, and the sensation was unlike anything she had ever experienced before, a symphony of pleasure that reverberated through every fiber of her being.
"Mh, look at me," he whispered in a breath, and she forced her eyes open again to drink in the sight of him beneath her.
It was as if his aura vibrated around him with the essence of life, as if he was the center of cosmic energy himself, and she felt lightheaded when she sensed her body instinctively roll her hips over him.
It felt like they were moving together in a celestial, ecstatic dance.
As if she was gliding through an orgastic sea of stars, lost in the boundless expanse of his being.
"You're like the universe," she whimpered over him, and she felt a profound alignment with the cosmos, as if every atom in her body was attuned to his, as if their movements had the universe rejoicing in their union, as if their love was a testament to the interconnectedness of all things.
Aang reached one hand up to cup her cheek, his touch imbued with a tenderness that spoke volumes of his affection and reverence for her.
As she continued to roll her hips over him, it was as if his touch acted as a conduit, channeling the boundless energy of the cosmos, and when she felt his thumb caressing her cheek, it felt like the universe spoke to her through him, whispering secrets of eternity and infinity that resonated deep within her soul.
It was almost too much for her.
She felt almost completely overwhelmed by the magnitude of their connection, as if she was gazing into the heart of the universe itself in a moment of divine communion, where their love had become a sacred ritual that transcended everything that she had ever experienced.
"You're sacred, Nii," he whispered between deep breaths. "Cosmic, I…"
She saw his eyes dancing over her body while his chest rose and fell beautifully, and she noticed his gaze drifting to her hips rolling over him, and she could feel the hunger within him that completely matched her own.
And as if out of instinct, completely lost to a power greater than her, she reached her hand down to grab his hardness and directed it to her entrance between her legs that was pulsating widely, burning almost, vibrating with the rhythm of the universe.
"Can I…" she started in a whisper, but she soon felt him, very gently and gracefully, thrusting his hips at her, causing her eyes to widen at him, while a whimper escaped her lips.
At first, it just felt like a subtle, tantalizing pressure.
But then, as he slowly and gradually entered her, inch by inch, she felt a tidal wave of sensations cascading through her entire being, as if her body just opened itself up to him, immediately yielding to his gentle and determined advance, welcoming him inside with a profound wetness.
She felt him reaching his hands down to rest on her thighs, and she watched him close his eyes while he entered her, while she heard his breathing get caught in his throat, his breath coming out in small urgent gasps.
Nii closed her eyes too, as she sensed a fullness unlike anything she had ever known before, and with each inch of him penetrating her, she felt surges of pleasure washing over her in waves, building with each passing moment.
When Aang finally reached the deepest part of her, she let one hand rest on his chest just above his heart chakra, and she felt a completion wash over her, as if their bodies merged into one, as if they were always meant to be joined together in this intimate embrace.
She felt his fingers on her thighs twitch, while her body convulsed in an explosion of pleasure that had her moan out loudly, surprising herself with the intensity.
It was like the very essence of the universe merged with her right there, filling her with a divine and cosmic energy that transcended the physical realm.
She opened her eyes to look at him.
She was completely struck by the breathtaking sight of his aura shining brightly around him, a radiant halo of pure white light emanating from within him, filling her with awe and wonder as she witnessed the intensity of his presence.
She watched the flickers of pleasure dancing across his features, a look on his face showing that their connection was almost too much for him to bear too, as if the intensity threatened to overwhelm him completely.
His breathing still came out in small gasps, but then he opened his eyes to lock his gaze with her.
She leaned her body down over him, and rested her forehead against his, before their lips met in a hungry and passionate kiss.
Aang moaned into their kiss, and she felt his hands traveling from her thighs to her buttocks, before he slowly titled his pelvis a little down only to thrust it gently upwards again in a slow movement, sending an explosive ripple of pleasure to shoot from the pits of her stomach and through her entire body.
She heard herself moan loudly again, and she surrendered to his movements, letting her head fall down beside his unable to fight against whatever might hold her back from giving in completely.
"I'm yours," she moaned into his ear, and she felt him shiver beneath her, before he grabbed her buttocks a bit firmer now, as if to hold her and himself still, and she heard him exhale deeply as if he was trying to steady himself.
"This is…" he croaked in a breathy whimper. "I… You're…"
"Yeah," she whimpered, before she rolled her hips above him, causing him to slide beautifully within her and grazing a spot deep inside of her that caused another wave of intoxicating pleasure to roll over her, like a thundering wave of ecstasy that had her body writhing.
Aang threw his arms around her, enveloping her in a tight embrace that was urgent, as if he was trying to steady her, and she noticed his breath coming out in ragged gasps, a flicker of concern mingling in their energies, as if he feared losing control and succumbing to the overwhelming pleasure that threatened to consume them both.
But this only made Nii want to continue her movements even more, and she swayed her hips at him again.
She wanted him to lose control.
To surrender to her.
Utterly and completely.
She wanted him to be hers.
"Urgh, Nii…" he groaned as his hands moved down to grasp her buttocks, and for a fleeting moment she felt his hands guide her in her flowing movements, while he thrust his pelvis against hers too, as she rode him.
But then, he dug his fingers into her buttocks urgently, pressing her down, causing her to stop her movements.
She could feel a smirk tugging at the corner of her lips.
She felt mischievous.
As if she wanted the universe to come at her.
Show her what it had in store for her.
Nii straightened her back a little so she could see his face, and she noticed that his jaw was tense, and he had furrowed his brows.
"Look at me, Aang," she cooed over him, as she let her hands rest over his chest.
He opened his eyes to look at her, and she could easily see the struggle written across his face, as if a battle lived within him between the desire to prolong their union and a deep primal urge to give in to the ecstasy that awaited on the other side of his surrender.
"Nii," he groaned between his ragged breathing, reaching up a hand to rest against her chest just over her heart chakra. "I can't… It's… I'm gonna…"
"Yes, Aang," she almost sang between her moans, as she started rolling her hips over him again, this time more urgently. "Give in to me. Let go for me… I want you. I want everything."
Pleasure washed over her as she rode him while their eyes were locked, and she felt a tension starting to build inside of her, a simmering anticipation that spread through every nerve ending inside her, igniting a firestorm of sensation.
She saw his mouth fall open while his breaths came out in long bursting gasps, his muscles tensing and coiling all of his body, while his legs undulated under her.
"But…" he moaned at her, his brows still furrowed and his breathing deep and urgent. "I have, Nii, I'm gonna… We have to…"
"Mh," she moaned while she felt the pleasure mounting inside of her to a point where it was almost unbearable, a crescendo pulsing through her like shockwaves of pleasure and she could do nothing else but to keep rolling her hips over him, feeling him hit something deep inside of her that warned of an inevitable tidal wave steering directly towards her.
Her eyes almost licked over Aang's face as she watched his face contorting under her with a mixture of pleasure and tension, and in a fleeting moment his expression almost appears pained, his brows furrowed and his jaw clenched as he grappled with the overwhelming sensations coursing through him.
But then, in an instant, something inside of him seemed to change, and she moaned when she saw his features soften, a look of sheer abandon replacing the tension that once gripped him.
He grasped her buttocks firmly and raised his head a little at her, his eyes piercing her with deep primal energy as if he gave in to the desire that consumed them both.
It was as if his eyes were telling her that she had brought this upon herself, and she felt him moving with the rolls of her hips, thrusting himself against her without abandon.
In that moment, Nii felt herself give in completely to him, as she felt like she transcended the physical realm completely, as her entire being was engulfed by a profound and intense wave of ecstasy.
The boundaries of herself dissolved, and she became one with the universe, merging completely with the cosmic energies that flowed through all existence. She felt a profound sense of expansion, as her orgasm rippled through her, as if the entire cosmos erupted in a symphony of light and sound.
She heard a low, guttural growl ripple from Aang beneath her, and it reverberated over her skin like the primal cry of an animal, a symphony of pure ecstasy and pleasure.
The air around her came alive, swirling and dancing in response to the powerful energy released by Aang, as if the atmosphere itself vibrated with the intensity of his pleasure, creating a mesmerizing display of swirling currents and eddies.
Every cell in her body vibrated with a kaleidoscope of ecstasy as she felt him letting go inside of her, pulsating with creation, filling her with his cosmic seeds that bathed her in the radiant energy of the stars.
The air moved around them with a fluid grace, twirling and spiraling in intricate patterns that mirrored the ecstatic movements of their bodies, and with each exhale, Aang sent forth bursts of air, adding to the whirlwind of sensations of bliss that enveloped them both.
It was like the air shimmered with a radiant glow, illuminated by the sheer force of Aang's raw pleasure.
And slowly, gradually, the air seemed to calm around them.
Nii could not help but to close her eyes as she felt the orgasm had peaked, and she exhaled a soft sigh, before she leaned down over him, relaxing into his warm embrace.
She rejoiced in the sensation of his glistening skin against hers, and she breathed in the tantalizing perfume of his skin, as she felt his arms envelope her in a loving hug.
Their breaths soon came in deep, synchronized rhythms, a silent testament to the even deeper connection they now shared, and in this hushed stillness of the moment, they both basked in the afterglow of their release.
"I'm yours, Ni…" Aang's voice soon vibrated over her skin. "Totally and completely."
Author's note: I didn't warn you this time. Are you okay?
