Katara
"Lady Katara?" A servant, Tyie, knocks on the door. "It's almost time." I sigh and get out of my steaming hot bath, bending myself dry and putting on the robe they left for me. The white silk is soft against my freshly waxed skin. Thank Goodness I have healing abilities, or I would still be red and swollen all over. Apparently beauty treatments are a traditional part of the Fire Lady's wedding day.
"Coming!" I answer her and step out of the Wash Room. They hurry over with small smiles on their faces and get to work on my hair and makeup. The Fire Lady has to look her best on her first occasion meeting the people, After all.
The two gossip in the ancient Fire Nation tongue while they work instead of the common one, making me slightly irritated and paranoid I can't understand them. I guess I'll add Learning Ancient Language To my to-do list.
When they finish, My hair is down, and only my loops are pinned back. My makeup is a tad more dramatic than usual, bolder around my eyes, mostly, but It still isn't over the top, and it'll probably help people see me better while I'm on the balcony.
"You look beautiful, My Lady." The servants, Mae and Lai, bow and back up. "The original plan was for you to wear The Queen Mother's wedding robes, but she…well, she burned them." Lai says.
"This-" Mae says, pulling out a silk garment bag from the wardrobe, "Is a much more modern Style, showing you'll be leading us Along side Fire Lord Zuko into the future of our Nation." She says and unzips it. I slip it on, then turn to the mirror and gasp. It's…beautiful.
The gown is white form fitting silk that gathers at my waist and then billows out below me. The chest covers my bust modestly, but lifts my breasts in an ever so slightly way that I'm sure Zuko will enjoy. There are diamond adorned straps on each of my shoulders with fabric spilling from my shoulders to the floor behind me like a cape.
"One more touch, if I may, My Lady." Lai says and walks towards me, placing a white gold crown on my head, the detailing shaped like flames.
"And Just in time." Mae smiles. "It's almost sunset, we must get you to the Aisle now."
"Thank you. Thank you both." I say and smile as I follow them out the door.
We arrive at the ceremony, and I find Iroh waiting for me at the aisle.
"Lady Katara." He smiles and offers me his arm. "As your father is in the Southern Water Tribe, might I have the honor of giving you away?" He asks. I smile and take his arm.
"Uncle Iroh. I'd be delighted."
"Good. It's my delight." He squeezes my hand and as he does, the music starts playing. "Well we should start moving then." He says, and we step out into the aisle. Everyone rises, and I see Zuko at the end of it with the Chief Fire Sage next to him. He smiles when he sees me, and I chuckle at how there's always two stray short hairs falling on his forehead when his hair is pulled up in it's bun. It looks good though, the slight imperfection. I love it.
Iroh and I get to the end of the aisle, and Zuko takes my hands. I hardly hear the Chief as he goes through our vows, and I don't notice all the people in the pews behind us. All I can feel is Zuko's hands holding mine, and the look of peace and joy in his eyes. It was so long before I saw that on the regular. For so long his eyes just held fear and pain. But the look on his face now, it's complete bliss.
I snap out of my trance long enough to repeat my vows, and Eagerly lean in when he tells Zuko to kiss me. Heat rushes through my body as my mouth melts into his, his tongue tracing my teeth and tangling with mine. I don't know at this point if the heat is natural, or if Zuko's using his bending to send it through me somehow. He pulls back just enough to smile, then closes the distance again, pulling me close to him. It makes me forget where we are, that we're in front of hundreds of nobles. I forget that this means I'm now officially Fire Lady, and responsible for leading a nation. I forget everything other than Zuko and this kiss.
When we finally pull apart and face our Nation, everyone is on their feet applauding as Zuko walks me back down the aisle.
"So what now?" I ask, realizing how unprepared I was for this whole event.
"We sit together at the reception, and accept the congratulations of all the nobles. Then we have our first dance as a couple. And then we retire to our chambers." He whispers to me with a smile. "That's what I'm looking forward to the most."
"Well let's hope the celebrations go quickly so it can happen." I smile and kiss his cheek as we walk.
The rest of the night is eventful. We eat and accept the congratulations of the Nobles. Their veiled slights of me being Water Tribe are not lost on me, but I ignore them. I'll have time to worry about prejudice later. Right now, This time is for me and Zuko. I can tell by his rising frustration the comments aren't lost on him either, but before he can do anything rash I put my hand halfway up his thigh under the table and squeeze it, feeling shocked myself when I feel something hard brush against my fingers.
He has enough length to go halfway down his thigh? I wonder as I blush and move my hand, prompting Zuko to smile and lace his fingers with mine.
After Dinner and our dance, We go out on the Palace Balcony to see the huge gathering of people come to celebrate. In front of the nation, the Chief Fire Priest prays to Agni to bless our marriage with a long peaceful rule and children, And then we're finally Ceremoniously sent off to Zuko's, well, Our Chambers.
As soon as we're in the hallway alone, Zuko turns to me and grins.
"What's that look all about, Fire Lord?" I ask with a raised eyebrow. He doesn't answer, just scoops me into his arms faster than I can blink and starts sprinting down the halls, me laughing and shrieking in his arms.
The doors were already open to his room, so he slips in and closes it with his foot before kissing me so deeply it makes me dizzy, all without putting me down.
My hands work their way inside his robes and tangle in his hair. He groans and if possible makes the kiss even deeper.
"Finally. You're Mine." He breathes when he pulls back.
"Put me down, Zuko." I tell him, something coming into my mind that I desperately want to try. Something Yue told me about. With my mother gone, she's the one who gave me the talk and plenty of ideas. "Please?" I ask, and he does what I say. With a nervous breath, I kneel down and put my head under his robes, making him suck in a deep breath. I lick my mouth, and before I can overthink it I wrap my lips around his hard and impressive length. He moans and falls backwards against the door, him sliding out of my mouth and making me laugh. I stand up and bat my eyelashes at him.
"Where did you learn that?" He gasps.
"Don't worry, you're still my first. I've just been given some…advice." I smile.
"Your first and only, you mean." His voice is low and gravely, and he takes two steps forward and takes my face in his hands before roughly pressing his mouth to mine, tangling his tongue with mine and making my knees shake. "Say it, Katara." He says in almost a growl. I smile.
"My first and only." I tell him, then move my hands to the sash around his waist and untie it, pulling back for the second it takes to slide his shoulder piece over his head. He moans and spins me around, then undoes the buttons on the back of my dress. It slides off my shoulders, leaving me cold as he spins me back to him. My heartbeat speeds up, being naked in front of him for the first time, and heat fills my face.
"Katara…" He trails off, and I look down then back up. His face is almost in awe. It's true that I don't have the stick figure I had when I was 14 anymore, but I wouldn't think that my body's impressive enough to leave Zuko speechless. I try to push away the thoughts about how beautiful the prostitutes he's been with before must have been, or what Mai looks like under her dresses, and how I must compare. But it's hard once the thought is in my head. I cross my arms over my stomach.
"Don't do that." Zuko says immediately, and grabs my wrists. "Are you being shy, modest, or scared?" He asks. "I can't read that look on your face."
"It's nothing." I answer, still trying to push the thoughts out of my head.
"It's not nothing. I want tonight to be as amazing for you as it will be for me, and that can't happen if you're not a hundred percent here. Tell me, Please."
"I just…" I start, frustrated with myself as his hands move to my shoulders and start rubbing, then he moves them to my waist and pulls me close to kiss me again, gently this time.
"Tell me." He whispers as he pulls back.
"I'm...I'm nervous I won't compare to the women you've been with before. That I won't be as good." I say quietly, looking at the floor, then back up to him. He looks like he's been slapped.
"That's what you're scared of?" He asks. "Oh Katara." Without warning he picks me up and carries me over to the bed, setting me down and leaning on top of me. "You might not have been my first, but you'll be my last. When I think about how beautiful a woman can be, I think about you. And what I see now is better than my wildest fantasy about you, I promise. And this is about to be the best sex of my life, want to know how I know?" he asks me, and if possible my heart beats faster.
"Because you're telling me what I want to hear?" I guess. He sighs and shakes his head.
"No. Because you're the only woman I've ever loved. And the most beautiful by far it's not even a question. No one's ever taken my breath away like you just did. So don't worry, Water Princess. Put comparing out of your mind, because when it comes down to it, no one can compare with you. And I'm glad you don't know what you're doing, because it means that I get to be the one to teach you everything. And that makes me so damn happy I can't begin to describe it to you." He says, and leans down to kiss my neck, then out of nowhere starts tickling me, making me shriek and laugh.
"Zuko!" I scold with a smile, pushing him off.
"There's that smile." He smiles, and pulls his robes off. "I couldn't keep going without a smile on your face." I gasp as his robes fall to the floor and I get to truly see him for the first time. He's Breathtaking.
"Get on this bed. Now." I tell him, making him smile and climb on me, before we melt into each other with our deepest kiss yet. He puts his hands on my ass and pulls me closer to him, and my body screams in pleasure as the tender skin of my breasts touches him, and his cock slips between the gap in my thighs.
"On your back." He tells me, and he gets on his knees. I do as he asks, panting as I look up at him.
"Are you ready for me, Water Princess?" He smirks. I gasp and nod. "Okay then." He says, and quick as lightning he pumps a finger inside of me like he did earlier today, making me squeal with pleasure.
"Zuko!" I force out. "Your- Spirits! - Your fingers aren't what I want right now!" He smiles and slips a second finger in, making me shout in surprise as an orgasm builds.
"You'll thank me in a minute. I'm getting you ready."
"Ready?" I pant.
"Yeah. Ready. I don't know if anyone told you, but your first time is going to hurt a little. I'm trying to make sure it hurts as little as possible." He says, but I barely hear him. All I can feel or focus on is the building heat in my body, so close to climaxing. He slips a third finger in, and I squeal again, this time in a bit of pain. But it passes after a second. "There you go. Once you're comfortable with four fingers we'll take the next step." His voice is so calm and steady, whereas I'm more physically overwhelmed than I've ever been in my life. My body gets used to the feeling of three fingers as he strokes and twists and does all kinds of things to make me scream.
"Zuko!" I shout as I finally hit my peak, and an orgasm washes over me. Zuko smiles but doesn't stop, in fact he pumps his fingers in and out faster, building another orgasm before I've even finished riding out the first one. I let out a brief cry of pain as his fourth finger slides inside me, but my body adjusts faster than it did to the third.
"Zuko, Please. Please!" I beg, absolutely overwhelmed.
"You're ready?" He teases.
"Yes!" I shout.
"Alright." He says, and pulls his hand away. My body relaxes and anticipates at the same time as he lines his cock up with my folds, and I moan as his tip brushes up against me. He props himself on his elbows directly on top of me, and he leans in for another kiss.
"This is going to hurt Katara, but only for a second, I promise. You're sure?"
"I'm sure!" I pant, and he kisses me again, a second later pushing himself into my folds. I scream into the kiss and shut my eyes tightly as Zuko pulls back with a gasp of his own.
"Spirits, Katara!" He breathes. "I can't even tell you how good you feel." As he speaks the sharp pain stops, leaving me with a need to feel movement.
"Keep going." I pant.
"Spirits you're tight!" He groans and pushes himself into me again. I clench, making a moan escape his mouth as his speed builds, feeling better and better for me with every thrust. I scream as another orgasm washes over me, I don't even know how much later. As soon as I do Zuko lets out a yell as he finishes inside of me.
I smile and kiss this forehead where it's resting beneath my chin as both of us gasp for breath.
"Katara." He groans, the sweat from his body mixing with mine. "You're incredible."
"You did all the work." I giggle as he sits up beside me. The second he pulls out, hot fluid rushes out of me, soaking the sheets.
"It doesn't matter. You're still amazing." He kisses my cheek. "We should get cleaned up. That means finally getting to do something I've wanted to for a while."
"What's that?" I ask
"Showering together. I want to watch the hot water cascade all over your perfect body."
"Then lets go." I tease, and roll off the bed. I fall as soon as I do, laughing as I try to get up on my shaky legs. I hear Zuko chuckle behind me as he comes over and picks me up again, kissing my cheek.
We get in the shower and clean up, then go back to bed. I bend the blood and fluid off the sheets and into the bathroom drains as we lay back down. We lay close together, finally nothing separating our skin. It's the best night of my life.
