Rated M- derived from Atla zutara smut: the beginning of a heated addiction. Chp 1

I lay flat on my back. The full moon beaming through the window that clung desperately to the abandoned fire nation home we took refuge in for the night. It was hard not to notice how beautiful the fire nation looked in the light of the moon. I grew up with so much hatred against the fire nation that the thought of it being beautiful left a taste of venom in my mouth, but I couldn't fight what was the truth. When the blood red paint on the wood of the abandoned buildings and the gold linens mixed with the paleness of the moonlight, the contrasting colors were beautiful, like fire and water. There's always been something about water and fire that peaked my curiousity. were they good for each other or bad for each other? If fire did not have water, it would lose control. Fire will always need water to keep it balanced. I lied there for a while letting the full moon entice me. It is a weird feeling the moon sends you as a water bender, it feels like if I tried hard enough I could slow the movement of my own blood. I could feel the tide of the ocean just outside the abandoned house pulling in and pushing out, I evened out my breaths to match the movements. I sat up abruptly, waking me from my full moon enticed day dreaming. The ocean lost its natural flow, I could feel the tide break against something that wasn't there before. My instincts to protect aang, toph, and my brother Sokka forced me to go and find out what could possibly be coming ashore. I did not bother waking anyone else up as I slowly walked down the hall and then down the creaking steps that led to the beach. I walked along shore. The waves breaking at my feet, and the full moon at my back. I felt like I had an army walking with me. I could feel the offset ripples getting closer. As I turned around a set of rocks, my breath caught in my throat, not by the sight of the boat but by the sight of the robe that hung along the side of it. "Zuko" his name slipped past my lips leaving them with a warmth that was unfamiliar. What is it with this man! No matter what we do he finds us, it is infuriating! I have never met someone so stubborn and obsessed with getting his honor back! And then it occurred to me that some where zuko is near, and he is wearing only his wrappings. My head got fuzzy at the thought and I must have let my guard down because before I knew it there was a rough hand covering my mouth, an arm wrapped around my waist, and lips against my ear. "Hello katara" the raspy words were a whisper in my ear. He was a fool to challenge me on a night where I am my strongest and with water surrounding us. But why wasn't I trying to fight back? His grip tightened and my breath hitched before I could muffle the words "let me go" into his hand. "Katara I don't want to hurt you, I am only here for the avatar so that I may regain my honor, please try and understand". He slowly let his hand off of my mouth, and I couldn't decide if I wanted to scream at him for being so stupid or if I wanted to kiss him. There was something about being this close to him that made me feel like I could burst into flames.

"Turning in aang won't help you regain your honor zuko, and I think deep down you know that. Your problem is you have nothing else to live for. Now leave before you wake everyone else up, I don't want to hurt you"

I twisted out of his embrace regretting it the second I did it and walked away. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me around to face him. His gold eyes reflected the cool water from beneath us and for a second I saw a different person. A zuko without a scarred face and with out a scarred mind. My eyes got lost somewhere along the way and I realized I was now looking down at his wrappings that were wet from the waves and hanging low on his hips. His pale skin was glowing in the light and glistening in the sea. For the first time I realized just how beautiful he is. His jet black hair hung low over his gold eyes.everything about him made you feel like he was made for strength, his sharp jawbone, the burn that covered his left eye, and every muscle on him was striking, but at the same time he was fragile, like a thin piece of glass I could shatter him into a million pieces with the wrong touch. I forced myself to look him back in the eyes but couldn't prevent the blood from reaching my cheeks. I snap my wrist from his grip and turn to start running, but the heat in my chest had my head all fuzzy making me trip over a rock. Zuko ran to my side to help me up.

"What are you doing, aren't you supposed to be trying to kill me?" I said breathlessly

"Well what about you, why are you running away instead of beating me with octopus arms like you normally do!" He yelled frustrated with me.

I started to make up some excuse, like I was sorry for him but before I could come up with the words his hands were caressing my cheeks and his lips were pressed hard against my own.

I pulled away, placing a hand on his chest. Not sure if I was pushing him away or holding myself back. I couldn't want this, how could I want to be with the man that was responsible for my mothers death.

"I'm sorry I don't know what came over me, look I'm going to go find a place to sleep but only for tonight, then I will be back on your trail tomorrow"

Before his hands could slip away from my face I grabbed them, not ready for their warmth to leave my face. I looked up at him my hands on his and he smirked. He kissed me again but this time without hesitation and it sent fire down my spine. I arched my back and leaned in to his kiss. It was like starting a fire. it started small but the flame only grew, soon it consumed us both. His lips moved from my lips to my neck sucking and biting. His breath grew warmer and i could feel the waves beneath us stop. He had drove me to the point of bending just by kissing me. I fell under his embrace as he laid me down against the sand. For a second he just stared into my eyes. I'm not sure if he was just taking in the moment or if he was just as shocked as me that the moment was happening. It didn't matter what he thought or I thought once his kisses continued, he seemed to be hesitant again, not sure how far I was willing to go, like I could push him away any second. He was right to feel that way because I was in between pushing him off of me and wanting to straddle him. The full moon had all of my senses heightened, they eventually won the fight and I gave into him. I brushed my hand into his hair arching my back hoping this would give him the reassurance to keep going. His kisses trailed further and further down my body until he was between my legs alternating kisses between the two of them. My lips let out a moan and I couldn't take it anymore. "I want you zuko, I always have" I couldn't believe the words as they fell from my mouth. He grabbed me and pulled me on top of him so that I was sitting on his lap. I felt his hardness against my sex and my neck fell back as I pushed down against him. He let out a whimper in my ear as he suckled on my ear lobe and my thrusting got harder and faster. As if the moon wasn't making me feel powerful enough, hearing zuko so weak and vulnerable under me had me surging with it. I release my top wrappings, they fall into the ocean but I don't care, the waves still around us. My breast bare against his chest. He slides His hand from my neck to in between my two breasts and pushes me back so that he could gain access to them with his lips. He slipped one nipple into his mouth flicking his tongue against it at the same rhythm of my thrust against him. My nails dug deep into his back, the ripple of the water around us in sync with my motions. The excitement nearly sent me over the edge. I am not usually like this. I like control, which sparked in idea in me. I let my hands fall to my side and slowly raised them with streams of water pinched between my fingers. With the flick of my wrists the water wrapped around his wrists like whips. I lowered my arms, and his followed under my control. I started with his neck first just small trails of kisses. I went for his earlobe next sucking on it and breathing heavy into it while one hand played along his hip bone and the other keeping his wrists restrained with water. I give a quick thrust and steam leaves his mouth. My grip on him was lost and suddenly I was back on the sand under him, my arms above my head held there by his hands. My arms stung from the warmth of his hands, he must of used his fire bending to get out of my grip. His eyes were wild as he kissed my body and the next thing I know my bottom dressings were ripped off of me and in the sand. I was completely naked underneath him. This is the most exposed I have ever been in front of anyone, and to my surprise I was glad it was for him. He didn't waste any time. His finger slipped inside me with ease. My body never felt such erotic pleasure. He slipped his finger in and out. I thought I was in heaven before, until his tongue swept over my my most sensitive part and my body convulsed under him. He kept licking and slipping his fingers inside me. I could feel something rising in me like a wave preparing to crash against a rocky shore and suddenly my body was shaking and I could feel my sex dampen. " oh zuko" I whimpered,and then there were waves on us, crashing. My head was no longer clear enough to bend them still. Just as the wave hit, a new feeling filled me. It was him, Zukko was inside me. His hips thrusted hitting hard against me over and over with each crashing wave. It was as if we were in sync, like the wave and the shore, we belonged together, we fit together. We were fire and ice mixed together. I slowed down his pace not wanting our connection to end so soon, and flipped him over so that I was on top of him. I liked this view of zuko, the man who's always in control beneath me. "Katara" he said as he bit his lip. I slowly thrusted back and forth, bending the waves around us to match. My movements sent him into a sublime state and we were one. His eyes were locked on my body, the moon light reflecting off the water that dripped from my long dark hair leaving a trail from my breasts to my sex. He let his eyes follow. Then he flipped me back over, but this time I was on my stomach with my face in the sand. He was like a wild fire that could only be tamed for so long before his sparks grew and he caught fire again. His hands squeezed my hips as he slammed into me. He was no longer holding back, as he was apparently doing so before. I winced a little at first. But once the pain ended it was the best thing I had ever felt in my life. I moaned in the sand as he kept going deep and hard and fast until that feeling started to rise up inside me. I could feel his legs over mine beginning to tighten and I knew he was ready to climax just as bad as I was. "Let's cum together baby" the words felt unknown to me as I said them. They words pushed us both past the edge as he slammed into me, and then we lied there on the beach, naked and limp, like seaweed.

"Well that was the least thing I expected to happen tonight" he giggled. His laugh warmed my heart, because it was the first time I had ever heard it.

"Yeah, definitely not" I giggled back.

He picked me up silently and carried me into the water until just are heads were floating above the tide. He holds me, rubbing off all the sand from my face and various body parts, kissing me on the shoulder from time to time.When we were finished with our baths we walked back up on shore to where his boat was. We didn't bother to get dressed. We climbed into his boat and lied there wrapped in each others embrace in silence. I had no idea what to say or what to think honestly. What do I do now? There is no way he could possibly want anything to come from this, he still wants me and the avatar dead, and I still want to protect the avatar and help him defeat the fire lord. I decided to wait until he fall asleep to plan my escape. Once I felt his breathing even out I slipped out from under his arm, only to realize that I had no clothes to wear. I had two choices, one I try to sneak back in the house naked and risk aang and my brother seeing me, or two put on Zukko's robe and risk them seeing me in his clothes. I decided that if I put on his robe I could at least make up some lame excuse. I slipped it over my head and it smelled like jasmine tea, probably from being around his uncle iron. The smell made me happy, but I tried to suppress all my feeling because I knew when morning came I would have to face him and fight against him to protect aang. I was almost to my room, and then I heard a creak. "Where have you been all night princess?" Toph said sarcastically. I should have known she would notice, that girl could hear an ant cough. For a split second my stomach turned into a knot, oh no how am I supposed to explain what I am wearing! Maybe she will agree not to tell the guys. And then came the relief when I remember toph was blind. It was easy to forget because sometimes she sees things none of us can see.

"I couldn't sleep because of the full moon, so I thought I would take a walk and practice my bending" I let the lie slither from my lips. "Well next time be a little quitter, got it? She practically yelled.

"Sure thing" I said as I snuck back to where I was trying to sleep before. I changed into my other set of wrappings and stored zuko' robe in my satchel. I could have thrown it away but chose to keep it instead, even if it was risky. As soon as my head hit my mat I was fast asleep, shaking the image of zuko on top of me out of my head. My last thought was realizing that I just lost my virginity to a man who approves of the tyranny of the fire nation. The prince of the fire nation.
