His name was Saito, and he wasn't anyone special. Just another earthbender, and there were plenty of those, right? Or so he liked to think. In the end, Saito might not have been special before, but he was certainly very special now. Yet even that would be a bit of a fib. Six-foot-tall and built with muscles upon muscles, he'd grown into a true mountain of a man. His tanned skin and bald head certainly did little to distract from his muscles, as did the earthy green robes he chose to wore.
As a child, Saito had been an orphan, his parents dying at a very early age indeed, and leaving him to struggle and to survive on the streets of a burgeoning town. Said town was well on its way to becoming a city, even if it wasn't quite there yet, and it had no real time for orphans, not when it was moving forward with all due haste, never truly looking back. Saito would have fallen threw the cracks that such fast-paced social upheaval often caused... if he had not discovered his talent for earthbending and caught himself beforehand.
In the end, an Earthbending Master had come to their growing town. Ostensibly to get away from the actual city, as ironic as that was. He'd caught Saito trying to practice alone out in the woods one day, and the rest was history. Saito had found a home, and a teacher... and determined to never ever be helpless, ever again, Saito had thrown himself into his training almost obsessively, eager to become strong, eager to learn to protect himself.
It was that determination, that eagerness, that eventually saw him leaving the town behind. As he grew up, he watched as said town became bigger and bigger. By the time his sensei told him that he had no more to teach him, Saito knew that the older man was right... just as he knew he could not follow the Earthbending Master further into the woods, as was his teacher's desire. The old man had come to the town to try and get away from so many people... but then the people had followed him.
Saito and his teacher both knew the truth. He wasn't going out into the woods to live there... he was going out into the woods to die. His sensei did not ask him to follow, and Saito did not offer. Their parting of ways was amicable, and they spent a night drinking in memory of their years together. When morning came, Saito had set off with his worldly possessions, which truly hadn't amounted to much at the time.
However, between his physique and his skills, Saito was more than capable of living off the land as he traveled, and travel he did, never stopping, not wanting to until he found what he was looking for. Of course, eventually his travels read him where all roads seemed to. Republic City might not have been a place Saito wanted to be, especially not when his sensei had long decried large gatherings of people.
But in this case, it was a matter of nature versus nurture. Sure, his teacher had raised Saito to be a bit of a recluse, but at the same time, Saito himself was a young man on the cusp of adulthood that already looked very much like an adult. He carried himself with a casual pride that spoke to just how strong he knew he was, both physically and in his bending. Though it was the former more than the latter that people could see, that led to most ne'er dowels avoiding him and others admiring him.
So yes, he'd gone to Republic City. And truth be told, Saito couldn't really find it within himself to regret the decision. Republic City was where he'd met Korra. To many, she was the Avatar. To him, she'd become a friend... and so much more. They'd hit it off pretty much immediately, but Saito could admit that between his pride and ignorance, and Korra's confidence combined with her slight arrogance, they'd started off as more frenemies then true friends. It had just been so easy to end up fighting her, battling her more like.
They'd sparred and found out that both of them were insanely competitive by nature, and not exactly willing to accept defeat. Becoming rivals and engaging in regular fights had just become their thing, right up until Korra started having actual troubles and needed help. When she'd asked, he'd come silently, knowing how much it had cost her to even tell him she needed his help in the first place.
Saito had fought at the beautiful Avatar's side against the Equalists, and he'd fought at her side later on against her corrupt uncle as well. He would not leave her, he wouldn't abandon a friend in need. And though there were certainly some rocky moments, though there were instances where it didn't look like they could do it, in the end they pulled through.
But... as time went on, Saito began to realize just how important Korra was becoming to him. For the first time in years... in possibly his entire life, something other than fighting and training and becoming stronger had snuck its way into the center of his life. At first, realizing this had frightened the big man. There were so many problems that Saito could handle with his fists, and if not his fists, his earthbending would likely do the trick.
But this wasn't something that could be handled by either of those things. And yet... and yet, what was he to do? No matter his fear, the feelings for Korra that were welling up within his heart did not go away with time. If anything, they seemed to grow. Perhaps he could have left and fixed it with time and distance between the two of them, but that was just it. He didn't WANT to leave. He didn't want to go anywhere, except where Korra was going. Being a part of her life fulfilled him in a way nothing else had.
It was a lesson Saito had learned over the course of his time at the Avatar's side. Power gathered meant nothing if you did not use it, and the ability to protect oneself did not compare to the satisfaction of successfully protecting others. It felt good to have Korra's back, it felt good to help her defend herself and her friends and her family against those who would do her and them harm.
It felt... good just being near her. And as he realized that his feelings weren't going away, as he realized what it meant, Saito had come to a simple conclusion about what he had to do. He simply wasn't the kind of man to let such a thing fester. He wasn't the kind of man to wait for what just might be the love of his life to make the first move.
"Korra..."
They were sat in a small room together, a room they'd rented for the night. There was only one bed, but then Korra's room was just down the hall. They were only together right now because his was the room that also came with a small table and chairs. A bottle of fine alcohol sits between them, and both have had a small cup of the stuff by this point. Not nearly enough to make either of them even tipsy, but enough to burn Saito's throat and give him a much-needed boost of liquid courage.
Beautiful cyan eyes glance up, set in a gorgeous, dark-skinned face. Korra blinks at him and then cocks her head to the side, her high ponytail bouncing behind her from the movement.
"Saito?"
How does he even do this? Where does he begin? Resolving to just get it out, Saito speaks from his heart.
"I... I've really enjoyed our time together. And in that time, I've come to see you as a friend... and more. You're very beautiful, Korra. You're very strong, very wise, very... everything. I like you... a lot."
Korra's visage has frozen as she listens to his words. Her entire body is tense. For a moment, Saito wonders if he's made a mistake confessing his feelings for the Avatar, but no. No, he can't feel this is a mistake, because in the end, it's either this or he lets it build and build until it explodes. That wouldn't be healthy, and he's not going to let it happen. If Korra wishes to reject him here, that's fine... but at least he'll have said something.
Rather than frown or shake her head or any of the hundred negative reactions Saito was now expecting however, Korra's frozen visage finally breaks into a wide, beaming smile. He blinks as she reaches across the table and encircles his wrist with her hand, squeezing affectionately.
"... I really like you too, Saito. And, um... I think I like you as more than a friend as well."
One might think she was acting a little uncharacteristic, given the pauses and the hesitation and even the faltering smile on her face. But then, the next thing Saito knows, Korra is out of her seat, around the small table, and practically climbing into his lap as she grabs his face in both hands and kisses him earnestly, right then and there. Now that's the fierce, perhaps slightly reckless girl that he's come to know... and perhaps love.
The young earthbender has no problem whatsoever with this change in circumstances, and he happily wraps his arms around Korra's body as she kneels on the chair. The rickety thing creaks ominously beneath their weight, but neither of them care much for that as they kiss. And oh, how they kiss. The Avatar and some earthbender from the outskirts of growing civilization. Suffice to say, neither of them are all that experienced. Not that its their first kiss, either of them, but its certainly... a learning moment for the two.
Their lips press together, and they moan into one another's mouths as they sloppily kiss back and forth, moving this way and that. Its Korra who first introduces tongue, but once Saito feels her tongue pressing past her lips and against his teeth, he opens up and slips his own out to intertwine with hers. Its... its silly and inexperienced and looks positively ridiculous or would if anyone was watching on. But for them, it's the most arousing thing in the world, because it comes on the tail end of confessing their feelings to one another and is the first thing they're doing in ACTING on those feelings.
Eventually, Korra pulls back for air and they're both left panting breathlessly as their eyes meet. Saito continues to hold onto the Avatar, his large hands gripping at her taut sides as she bites her lower lip, ducking her head ever so slightly.
"Saito... will you let me share your bed tonight?"
The meaning behind her request is obvious, and Saito smiles as he slides one hand a little further down, cupping one of Korra's firm, unbelievably tight butt cheeks as he nods at her. A full body shudder goes through the beautiful dark-skinned woman and she moans as she rests her hands palm down on his massive pecs.
"... Take me there, please?"
His impatient rising from the rickety wooden chair sends it crashing backwards to the floor, but neither Saito nor Korra pay it any mind as he carries her to the bed, she in turn clinging to him all the way. Letting her fall down on said bed, Saito stands over her, staring down at her intently as he unties his robes and shucks the loose, flowing garment off his shoulders.
In response, Korra continues to make eye contact as well, her cyan irises filled with lust, even as she begins to strip herself down, starting with her pants and her underwear. By the time Saito is fully undressed, Korra has only managed her leggings and what lay beneath them. Before she can do more, he's climbing onto the bed and pulling apart her legs. But not to get on top of her, at least not fully.
Korra cums first, of course. She cums often, as well. Saito pounds climax after climax out of her tightening, squeezing, milking cunt, all while holding his own release back. Unlike with the sucking of his cock, Saito doesn't want this to end before it absolutely has to. He clings to his self-restraint, one of the earliest things he learned as an earthbender. Control over an element such as rock only comes with mastery over oneself first and foremost, after all.
So yes, he holds back his release, and delights in making Korra orgasm again and again around his cock. He plows her into the bed and he enjoys it as her face contorts in pleasure beneath him, her eyes crossing, her tongue not seeming to be under her control as they kiss, that sort of thing. He just... he loves making her lose her composure. He always has, to be fair. Their relationship had been built on teasing one another, on provoking one another.
Korra can likely tell that he's holding himself back, even as he fucks her into oblivion. He can feel the exact moment she starts to fight back, because it's the moment his control and concentration begin to truly unravel. Her cunt walls begin to take on a life of their own, as if they're controlled by sentient thought, rather than random spasms. They rhythmically and consistently massage up and down his member, milking him more efficiently than ever before.
Its Saito's turn to groan into Korra's mouth, until finally, the Avatar succeeds in forcing his release from him. As his hot, sticky seed paints her insides white, Korra's eyes roll back in her head momentarily, and she cums one last time from the feeling as well. Their tongues duel with each other right up to and then right through the climax... but as soon as they both come down from their pleasure highs, Saito pulls out of Korra and falls to her side with a breathless gasp, panting just as hard as she is as they lay on their backs together, side by side.
"That was..."
"Y-Yeah..."
By this point, Korra's arms have flopped back down to her sides from where she had them over her head, gripping the top of the bed as it shook violently with every jarring thrust, he made into her body. They'd definitely made a lot of noise, but still neither of them found it in themselves to care. And it wasn't like any one had come by to shut them up, either...
Slowly, Saito slips his hand into Korra's. He squeezes, and she squeezes back as their fingers intertwine with one another. After a moment, they turn and look each other in the eye. The words well up in Saito's throat, and after all of that, with his life seed leaking from betwixt her thighs, how can he not just say it?
"... I love you, Korra."
Korra's answering smile is near blinding as she reaches out, her free hand going over her body as she brushes it against his cheek and chiseled jaw.
"I love you too, Saito."
They have a moment where they just look at one another... and then Korra is suddenly on top of him, sliding into place and putting his cockhead between her sticky, wet nethers once more. She flashes him a wicked grin, even as she slowly begins to sink down his length.
"Mm... my turn~"
While mildly surprised, Saito certainly isn't against... any of this. Chuckling, the muscular earthbender reaches out and places his hands on Korra's waist. But he doesn't try to squeeze or pull or push in any direction. He simply rests them there, and Korra's slightly smaller hands fall onto his thick wrists as she pants heavily, continuing to impale herself on his cock. Inch after inch of his member disappears inside of her, her pussy walls still slick and wet and stretchy from their combined juices and the rough pounding he'd just given her.
In the end, Korra sinks him to the hilt inside of her, before ultimately placing one hand on her ever-so-slightly bulging abdomen, her six-pack giving way only partially. She can feel his heat through her body, just as Saito can very nearly feel her fingers and her palm through what lies between them.
"S-So big... so thick..."
Korra moans that out, before pulling herself up. Here, Saito helps her, just a bit. He doesn't exert too much strength though, and when Korra subsequently drops herself down again, he stops altogether so that she can fall, impaling herself on him once more. A low, throaty moan exits the Avatar's lips, but she doesn't stop there. She wants this... she wants to ride him, and Saito is perfectly happy to let her, watching as he lies back and enjoys the show.
For her part, Korra gyrates and undulates across his cock for a moment, buried to its base inside of her as it is. She moans louder and lewder, and she tilts her head back as she gasps in honest delight, getting truly used to how big he is. Its one thing to just lay there clinging to him as he fucks her with all his might. Its another entirely to make him lay back and use her OWN might to fuck herself on his big, fat dick.
But that's exactly what Korra does. Whether she thinks she needs to prove something to either herself or him, Saito doesn't know. He just lets her do her thing, along for the ride and enjoying it immensely. Korra slowly raises herself up again, and then swiftly drops back down. She continues to do this, working herself into a frenzy as she eventually reaches out, leaning over him and grabbing his chest with both hands for leverage.
Saito's hands slide to the dark-skinned Avatar's ass, and he grins as he finds almost no give there... but then, the key word is almost. While Korra's ass is tight and firm and athletic beyond measure, he can still push in, and the moans he draws from her lips as he squeezes and gropes and massages the Avatar's beautiful behind are just... pure ecstasy.
As is the feeling of her cunt muscles squeezing along his cock. There's no doubt in Saito's mind now that Korra has full control over her body, including the insides of her sex. She grips at his length with too much ferocity, too much intelligence for it to really be random or by chance. Her insides cling to him with purpose, and Saito finds himself holding back far swifter this time around as Korra bounces up and down on his cock harder and faster.
"C'mon you big brute... c'mon! Give it to me... gimme, gimme, gimme!"
Korra's childish antics are almost laughable, but they're also insanely hot, when attributed to the beautiful dusky woman currently leaning over him. Rather than 'give it to her', Saito chooses door number two... and leans up to capture one of the Avatar's tits in his mouth. Korra gasps and a moment later has her hands wrapped around his bald head as she holds him close. Saito comes up off the bed at least slightly at that point, his physical strength leaving that no difficult task at all as he slurps and nibbles at her breast, before pulling back to properly suckle at her teat.
It ends almost as it began. With Saito sat up buck naked in bed, and Korra in his lap, still bouncing up and down on his cock like there's no tomorrow. Of course, the only similarity between this and the start of the night's pleasure is the fact that Korra is in his lap, kneeling on either side of his toned, muscular form. Everything else is... well, an excellent allegory for how swiftly their relationship has progressed. From sitting and kissing one another, to fucking and sucking and moaning out their love for the other as they happily fuck right then and there in the rented room.
Still, with Korra working as hard as she is to make him cum, its not long before he does so again, despite it being his third release of the night. She does cum first though, at least twice before his seed finally fills her again. This time, Korra has upped the ante though. This time, her rapid-fire bouncing, her riding of his cock and the constant impalement on his member has left his tip lodged in her cervix, pressing into the entrance of her womb as he finally cums inside of her for the second time that night.
As such, Korra feels every last blast of his seed fill her most sacred of places directly, his cum pumping into her womb and filling it to the brim and then some. Needless to say, the Avatar's eyes roll back in her head and her jaw drops open as she lets out a pleasure-filled scream of bliss, before ultimately collapsing forward onto him as Saito in turn falls back, the two of them very clearly spent.
With Korra resting on his broad chest, Saito wraps his arms around her, even as he feels her inner walls squeeze down on his cumming cock a few more times before finally stopping. His own stamina is fairly ran down as well, and his length goes soft inside of the love of his life, even as Korra nuzzles into his chest and mewls happily, already falling asleep.
Chuckling softly, Saito just leans back and does the same, a big, wide smile across his face. This was the best moment of his entire life.
Of course, the next morning when the innkeeper gave Saito a healthy slap on the back and an approving nod, while the innkeeper's wife handed Korra an herbal concoction she said would help with any soreness, both of the young people were left bright red at the realization that they'd probably kept everyone else in the inn up throughout the entirety of their frenzied lovemaking.
That didn't stop either of them from walking out of the inn hand in hand all the same, big goofy smiles on their faces whenever they so much as glanced in one another's direction. They were young and in love... and neither could have possibly imagined being happier.
