Unexpected
It was some hours after the wedding of Varrick and Zhu Li. I was alone in my room and already in bed when my mind drifted off of to my talk with Korra. She had suggested that we’d go on a vacation together. I smiled at the thought but my smile faded away just as quickly. I had to decline her offer. President Raiko had offered me a big contract to rebuild the city. There were many people without a home now and it was important that those homeless people were brought somewhere safe. Reconstruction had to start as soon as possible.
I had seen the disappointment on my friend’s face when I had to decline and promised that, once everything was done. Once all the citizens had a home again. that we could go onto that much needed vacation.
Korra had smiled sadly at me and nodded. I half expected her to say something since she looked like she wanted to tell me something. Instead, she suggested we’d get back to the dance floor. I had agreed with her and we walked back side by side.
I wanted to ask her to dance with me but a part of me knew that was a bad idea. Instead, I had to watch with sore eyes how Mako asked her to dance and she had said yes. I clenched my jaw and settled on one of the chairs, glass in hand and my eyes locked on Mako and his hand. One of them was still wrapped up in bandages, the other rested on Korra’s hip as they danced. Korra’s hands rested on his strong shoulders.
They smiled, laughed and shared some small talk. Although I had no idea what they were talking about. Mako had a faint blush on his cheeks. An indication that he had a few to many drinks. Korra just continued to smile at him. Time slowly ticked by and before I realized what was happening, I saw Korra and Mako leave the dance floor together. His healthy arm around her shoulders and one of hers on the small of his back.
I felt my heart break in my chest. My eyes wide as I saw them disappear from sight. The next thing I knew was that I felt pain in my hand that was holding my glass of wine. I swallowed hard when I saw I had successfully crushed the glass with my bare hand. A waiter quickly rushed to my aid and helped me with the mess I had made. There was a deep cut in the palm of my hand but that pain was nothing compared to the pain I felt in my very soul. After the waiter had wrapped some piece of cloth around my hand, I rushed off. I left the party and headed back to my own room.
After I had shed my dress and put on my simple sleeping dress, I removed my makeup and crawled in bed. That’s where I was now. Pictures of Korra and Mako leaving continued to haunt me. The pain in my hand didn’t help me sleep either. It was throbbing quite painfully. I sighed when I heard someone knock on my door. My first reaction was to yell and tell them to go away, but instead I got out of bed. Not bothered to put on my dressing gown. I opened the door, familiar ocean blue’s locked with my emeralds.
“K-Korra? What…” I eyed her up and down, she had already changed in her sleeping outfit. Her grey pants and white top.
“Can I come in? Please?” she asked and all I could do was nod. I took a step to the side and let her in.
“Is… everything okay? I saw you leave, with Mako… I…”
She turned around to face me. My back now against the door. I saw her eyes slide over my body and for a moment, I felt very exposed. I -only- wore my sleeping dress after all and it was slightly see through. Our eyes locked again and the look she gave me took my breath away. Her eyes fully open, pupils blow and her hands clenched into fists. “Korra… what…” I never finished the sentence because her lips were locked onto mine.
My arms wrapped around her neck and hers around my waist. She pulled me as close as humanly possible, continued to kiss me and I kissed her right back. I was pinned between the door and Korra’s body.
After a good minute, she finally pulled back enough to look at me. She and I were both panting. “I… I’m sorry…” she muttered softly and was about to let go. I wouldn’t have any of it and pulled her back in. My hands behind her jaw and I pulled her lips on top of mine again. her mouth was still slightly open and I took the opportunity to brush my tongue over hers just the slightest bit. I sealed my fate with that and her hands moved to the back of my thighs and she lifted me up in one swift motion.
She carried me back to my bed. Our lips never parted. Not even when we fell on top of my bed. Me now pinned underneath Korra’s body. I felt her breasts against my own and for the life of me, I couldn’t stop the soft and desperate moan that escaped me. “K-Korra… wait… I…”
“I’m done waiting…” she whispered directly into my ear. “I’ve waited for three years… no more…” she said and her hands moved to the hem of my sleeping dress. “I want you…” she breathed and moved the fabric up, revealing my naked form underneath. “I need you Asami…” she said, her voice desperate. “I love you…”
My breath hitched in my throat when I heard those three little words. Words I had dreamed of hearing her say to me. I saw her eyes slowly fill with tears. “I love you too…” I whispered.
My sleeping dress was removed and tossed somewhere on the floor. Korra’s top and pants followed suit. I asked Korra to slow down a bit because I wanted to enjoy this moment more then anything in the world and so did she.
She continued to lay on top of me as we kissed. Our naked bodies pressed together perfectly. My hands roamed her naked back as we started to make love. A slow pace. Tender. Loving. Her hands, which held so much power, caressed me so gently. I had always figured Korra to be wild and lustful in bed. Instead she was incredibly gentle and asked more than once if I was okay with the things she did.
Her hips rolled in sync with my own when I came for the fifth time that night. My head pressed back in my pillow. My mouth slightly open to release the moans that were buried deep within me. Her hands were on my hips and I felt her shudder in the same heavenly feeling that I experienced at that moment. I let my eyes slide over her body as she slowly continued to grind her core against my own. She and I still out of breath and milking our orgasm for as long as possible.
I brought my hand to her abdomen and she finally came to a halt. My fingertips moved over her rock hard abs and I smiled. Mine… all mine… I thought and sat up a bit with the help of my elbows. My back against the pillows. Korra smiled down at me and lowered herself down on top of me. Her lips tenderly kissed my neck while her arms wrapped around my torso.
“Well… that surely was unexpected…” I said and heard Korra chuckle.
“What part exactly…?” she asked, still out of breath.
“Well… everything…” I said and Korra settled her face in the crook of my neck, inhaling my scent. I wrapped my arms around her. “Even more so when… I saw you leave tonight…” I said softly.
“Mhn… I needed to bring Mako to his room… with the amount that he drank tonight, he would’ve fallen off the stairs and into the ocean.” She said with a soft giggle. Her hand lovingly stroke my arm. “I’m sorry I gave you the wrong impression.”
I kissed the top of her head and slid down the slightest bit so my face was next to Korra’s. I kissed her lips slowly. One of my hands buried in her hair, the other cupped her face. Her hands were entwined behind my back and she pulled me close. We kissed for a few minutes. Slowly. Savoring every second. I pulled back and settled my face in the crook of her neck. Enjoying her warmth. Her strength. Her scent and the after glow of our love making, until we both fell asleep in each others arms.
