AN: First things first, I'm VERY sorry for making you all wait his long for this update. Things happened in life. Loved ones who passed away... and I am still fighting with depression. And apparently I have for about 2 years already. It took me this long to admit it to myself. So the road to healing is now before me. Or so I hope.
Hopefully you'll enjoy this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it. Even though it took me weeks/months.
I hope it won't take as long to write and finish the next chapter :)

It had been weeks since they had left the shores of Asami's home city. Weeks that she had spent with her wife, mother and Axis at sea. Enjoying the ocean's scent and the lovely breeze. Unfortunately, now that they had reached the Southerner's home town, the temperature had started to sink drastically. Asami and Yasuko hardly left their rooms, all huddled up in their winter clothing. Which wasn't all that much. Korra and Axis were used to this kind of weather and let the Earth Kingdom citizens use their clothes if they didn't need them. Which they were very grateful for.

Finally, Sixteen days after they had set sail, they arrived back at their own capital city in the South. Tonraq, Chief of the Southern tribe, waited at the docks to welcome the two women home. Along with pretty much the entire city. They were happy to welcome the Avatar and the Voodoo Master back home. To everyone's surprise, two others emerged from the ship along with them. Tonraq was surprised, along with the rest of the people who were there. When Korra explained the situation, he laughed but bowed graciously before the two Sato's.

The others that were present lowered themselves on their knees and bowed too. It left both Asami and Yasuko speechless. "I g-guess they're really happy you're back Korra." Asami stuttered and felt nervous. Holding onto her wife's arm.

"They're not bowing to me… but for you." She said with a proud smile.

"What? W-why?" By now she wished she could just disappear.

"They know what will happen during the Blood Moon… you'll carry my child. The child of an Avatar." She wrapped an arm around her nervous wife and chuckled softly. "Apparently, that's a thing… don't worry, they're all harmless. They will only worship you constantly now and give in to every command you give."

Asami wasn't sure if her wife was joking or not. Whatever the case, she followed her father in law and the rest of the entourage. Tonraq got onto his own Buffalo Yak. A massive beast that stood pretty much as tall as himself. Axis hopped in the saddle of her own Yak and helped Yasuko onto it as well. The older Sato settled behind her younger lover and held onto the Southerner for dear life. Korra and Asami both settled on Naga's back. The Heiress at the front. For all eyes to see. She had tried to protest but the Avatar wanted to show off her wife and who she belonged to. So it happened. People bowed before the two of them. The smile on Korra's face only grew bigger. A hand rested on Asami's abdomen and the other held onto Naga's reigns while they made their way to the royal palace.

As they passed the gates into the city, the road was aligned with the palace gates. As they slowly moved forward, they passed by all kinds of different shops and buildings. One of which pulled Asami's attention towards it. "Ohhh… a blacksmith…!" She mumbled enthusiastically.

Korra stirred slightly in her position. Her gaze turned into the direction that her wife was looking at. "We have quite a few here yeah… they create our weapons." She said proudly.

"Can we go see? Please? Pleasepleaseplease?" She looked over her shoulder at Korra, who looked surprised at first but she chuckled softly at Asami's reaction.

"Aren't you cold?"

"I… well." The reality sunk in again and a cold shiver spread over her entire body. "Yeah… kinda…"

"Kinda a lot yeah…" Korra kissed the sensitive spot behind Asami's ear. "Let's get you warmed up… find you some decent clothes and then we can go roam the city. Deal?"

Asami nuzzled closer and nodded. "Sounds perfect. I almost forgot where I was for a moment. Forgot the cold." She laughed softly but shivered nonetheless. Even with all the extra clothing she had received.

They passed by many other shops where merchants sold their goods such as food, clothes, weapons, armor and so on. Even from a distance, Asami could see that the quality of the armor and weapons from the guards that walked through the city, was quite poor. She had never actually made a sword or a piece of armor herself but she sure knew the theory and she surely knew how a good quality product was supposed to look like. However, there was nothing she could do about it now. It was simply too cold for her to do anything at the moment.

Finally, after they had passed the gates that lead onto the grounds of the royal palace, they were welcomed by Senna and a small army of her servants. They started to help and carry everything inside while Senna walked up to her daughter and her daughter in law. A wide smile on her face. "Welcome, to the South."

Asami's eyes shot open in surprise. She remembered how well Korra's knowledge was of her language when they first met. Apart from a bit of an accent… Senna spoke her tongue quite well.

"Mother, you've been practicing!" Korra said happily and once she hopped off of Naga, she helped Asami to dismount. Once her wife stood with both feet securely on the snow covered ground, Korra turned and hugged her mother.

Senna let out a pained groan when her daughter hugged her with her crushing grip. "Sweetie… I still need my ribs for a while longer…" She groaned playfully and sighed in relief when the Avatar finally let go of her.

"Sorry…" She said sheepishly and rubbed the back of her neck with a nervous smile on her lips. "Uh… there's someone I want you to meet…"

Senna smirked playfully and raised a curious yet entertained eyebrow. Her blue eyes turned to Asami.

Korra settled next her wife and put an arm around her waist. "I… this is Asami Sato…" She swallowed hard. Her nerves were getting the better of her. "She… she's my wife." Both young women blushed. Asami's hands rested on Korra's as they waited for Senna to react.

Their answer came with a light chuckle. "Well, it's about time you claimed her my dear… you've talked about her more than enough while you were here." She walked over to them both. Her arms found their way around their bodies and she pulled them against her own in a warm embrace. "Welcome to the family my dear. I'm sorry it took my daughter so long to admit her feelings. She has that from her father's side of the family."

"I heard that!" The three women laughed after they heard Tonraq's booming voice.

"Father practiced too. He improved quite a lot. You both have!" Korra said excitedly after they were released from Senna's embrace.

"Mhn-mhn… sure did dear. Although your father needed a bit more… encouragement than I did." She chuckled and moved slightly to the side. "But enough of that… come, let's get inside. Your wife is freezing and slowly turning into an ice statue. Do not worry about your belongings. My servants will bring everything to your chambers."

Asami mumbled a soft thank you to her mother in law. Although she wasn't sure if she had heard her over her clattering teeth. Once they were inside the palace, the temperature was so much better. The heiress instantly warmed up thanks to the fires that had been lit. She looked behind her and saw her mother and Axis disappear in a different direction. "Where… are they going?" She asked as they still followed the Chief's wife.

"I guess Axis will take your mother to her quarters." She said and smiled at the pale beauty. "Like I'm taking you to my private chambers. All our belongings are put there. We can freshen up and you can change into something that fits with our climate."

Asami smirked and rolled her eyes playfully. "Yeah yeah I'm cold… Well sorry for not being some ass kicking, war goddess that's always warm."

They heard Senna laugh at Asami's statement. "Goddess? No… asskicking and always being warm, Yes." She had stopped in front a massive oak door. "I'm sure a Goddess would keep her quarters tidy… instead of having servants doing that for her."

Korra blushed and looked down at the marble floor. "Thanks mom... geesh…" Asami giggled at her wife's reaction.

"You're welcome dear… I will be seeing you two later during dinner? In the meanwhile, rest. Take a well deserved bath. The servants should be ready with it by now." She gave them both a slight nod with her head before she left the two young women alone once again.

Asami was about to say something but all she did was let out a loud yelp when Korra picked her up in her strong arms. "Korra!" She shrieked, her arms around her wife's neck to keep herself from falling.

"I haven't carried you into my chambers yet like I should've. It's a marriage tradition."

Asami smirked. "Isn't that before the wedding night…? Before… you know." She had an amused smirk on her lips that only seemed to grow when Korra's face turned a bright red.

"W-well… I mean… this is… I wasn't…" She spluttered. Unable to form a proper sentence that made any sense at all.

"I'm just teasing you sweetie…" Asami assured her wife and kissed the tip of her nose. "I love how easily I can make you blush." She giggled while they finally entered the room. It was exactly how Asami had expected it to look like. Marble floors and walls. A beautifully decorated, massive oak closet on the left. Big enough to hold several fully grown adults. A desk made of the same wood and decorated the same as well stood on the right near a window. There were several scrolls sticking out of a special made cabinet. A quill and a small inkwell were the only other items on the wooden surface. There was a fire going in the marble fireplace that stood directly right of the desk. Warming the entire room. There were several pelts on the floor and some on the bed. The biggest piece of furniture that stood in the room against the wall opposite of the door.

Next to the big closet was another door. "Where does that lead to?" Asami asked curiously once Korra had put her down on the bed.

"That will lead to our private bathing chamber. Which will be our next stop." Korra said with a smile. "Mother said that the servants should be ready by now. So let's go and see if she was right, shall we?"

Asami agreed and together, they walked through the door and into the bathing area. There were no windows. Only small openings close to the ceiling to the steam could escape when it would be too much. There were four female servants standing by and rushed towards the two who just entered. Three women helped Asami to undress while only one focussed on Korra. The Heiress seemed rather uneasy that three strange women helped to remove her clothes but when she saw how Korra acted and saw her warm smile, she felt less nervous.

"I guess I need to get used to a lot of things, don't I?" She asked while her dress was lowered down onto the floor.

Korra winked at her wife and gave her a nod. "That you do… and I'm sorry, I should've told you what would happen. I'm all used to this. It must look rather strange to you to see me being undressed."

Asami couldn't help the smile that formed on her lips while she watched Korra being undressed. Her eyes slid over dark skin. "I don't mind… as long as undressing is all she does." She said and winked at the Avatar.

Korra let out a hearty laugh at that and quickly moved over to her wife once she was fully undressed. "Oh you have nothing to worry Asami. I only have eyes for you." She chuckled and helped to remove Asami's shoes. It was all that she wore at this point. Korra sat down on one knee in front of the Heiress and one by one, removed the footwear. Pale hands rested on her strong shoulders while she was down but once she got back on her feet, those hands moved from her shoulders. Down her chest. To her hips and found their way from Korra's hips to the small of her back where they came to a halt.

"Why thank you Avatar Korra… Raava knows what I would've done had you not been here to help me take off my shoes."

"Then you would've soiled the water with those dirty shoes my love." She chuckled and kissed Asami's lips tenderly. "Come… into the water. It'll warm you right up."

They both walked to the bath's edge and set their feet on the marble stairs that would lead them deeper into the warm water. The entire bath was carved out of the marble floor and deep enough that they could submerge under the water surface if they wanted to. They remained close to the stairs and stood face to face to one another. Their arms wrapped around the others body. Holding the other person close. Asami rested her head on Korra's shoulder. Kissing the naked skin there. "I love you, Korra…" She whispered and let out a content sigh.

Korra tenderly stroke Asami's naked back. Purring softly. "Love you too…" She pulled back slightly, just enough to press her lips once again against ruby ones. Asami inhaled sharply through her nose. Her hands unfolded and moved to Korra's head. Her fingers buried in damp, short hair as the kiss deepened. The pale beauty let out a soft, desperate moan when her tongue collided with Korra's. The weeks at sea had been nothing but torture. They've had only few private moments and after they made love once, the moment never occurred for another time again. Now, now they had all the time and privacy in the world. The servants had left. Fresh clothes were left behind although Asami was doubting that they would be needing them. A hunger was rising within her. A hunger for her wife. Korra. She wanted to touch, nibble, kiss and lick every inch of her wife's body. And she was determined to make it happen.

"I want you…" Her voice was hoarse. Drenched with the desires that were raging inside her body. Her lips kissed the skin of Korra's neck.

She shivered in pleasure when she felt those soft lips kiss such a sensitive spot. "L-let's finish up… and then…" She looked her wife in the eye. Both her own eyes and Asami's nearly appeared to be black. The lust clear in either pair.

Asami nodded feverishly and they helped one another to finish up. Exchanging kisses and longing touches with one another in the meanwhile. Finally, after a few torturous minutes, they barged back into Korra's room. Asami pushed Korra on the bed and mounted her. Their naked bodies pressed together as Asami took charge for the first time.

Korra loved this change in her wife. Enjoying this new side to the fullest as they made love. Even as Asami had both her arms pinned down to the mattress just above her head. Ruby lips were locked around a darkened nipple and Asami's other hand was buried between her thighs. Long, elegant fingers pressed down on her sensitive clit. Her back arched, her head pressed backwards against her pillows as she cried out her wife's name at the peak of her passion.

Her body shivered in delight as Asami continued to circle her throbbing clit. "A-Ah… Asami…" She rolled her hips in the same rhythm that Asami's finger moved. "Oh… Ohhhh…" Another release crashed over her like a wave crashes onto the shore. Her entire body felt so heavy but she grinned at her wife who was hovering above her. "Wow Sami…" She managed to utter before Asami claimed her lips once again in a deep kiss.

Even though she was quite drained from her energy, she managed to roll the two of them over. With her on top, she took hold onto Asami's hips. Settled comfortably between her pale legs, her core pressed firmly against Asami's. The gasps and moans she heard was music to her ears. "You… seem insatiable… my love…" She groaned and slightly changed position. Her sex pressed even firmer against her wife's. "L-let's see… if I c-can… help with t-that…" She moaned the last few words as she started to roll her hips vigorously. The cries of pure ecstasy and pleasure filled the room as their love making continued until dinner was served.

Hope you enjoyed it! ^^
