Author's notes: The title for this came from a review for my "Tempting Fire" story. Demondragon8331, thank you for the idea.

I had the idea for this tale as I was finishing that one up and many, many thanks to Maraghoul for batting ideas back and forth with me. The Fire royal line is thousands of years old and like my "Katara's Fear" tale, I think if the story was allowed to go dark, the Fire Sages would be as pushy as the White Lotus. Sexy sexy times coming and much anguish and loss. A dark look at how far the Fire throne will go to secure an heir. Hopefully you will all enjoy, my lovelies.

Like "Temping fire" it begins with a seduction. It follows in some vein of that Tyzula story but this is a darker reimagining or alternate. Pre-decisions and pre-child. It does start Azula on house arrest and we'll start from there. Enjoy.

"Stoking the fire"

Chapter one "Complicated heat"

Ty Lee flitted down the hallways of the palace, emptiness clawing at her stomach. Lust coiled throughout her body and her core throbbed as dampness coated her thighs. She had begged off training with the Kyoshi Warriors and Suki only had to scent her spiking chi to know her heat was coming on. She had let Ty Lee go, but the acrobat knew Suki would think she was foolish for where her feet were taking her now. The guards she passed randomly gave her surprised or appraising looks and one even dared to try and engage her in conversation. Ty Lee was dangerously close to paralyzing him but got away without a physical confrontation. She was shocked how open she felt and that despite her initial rejection, she had pushed her chest out, putting her body on display to the alpha's eager eyes. She continued on, feet gliding her quickly toward the dark pulsing aura she sought.

Ty Lee usually locked herself away and rode out a heat as best she could with masturbation and a lot of empty pain. But this time, she was back in the royal palace and not traveling. She didn't have to hide from her fellow sisters in arms, and Zuko was in command. There was a lax feeling of peace that could be false or real depending on who you asked. And Ty Lee's feet were taking her toward Azula.

Ty Lee took sallow sips of air as she tried to reign in her excitement. Azula had been placed on house arrest after a foolhardy attack on her brother. After she had been released to help find Lady Ursa with her brother, she had escaped and vanished. Eventually she had shown back up with comrades calling themselves the Kemurikage. Azula's capture had been a rushed night of adrenaline; Ty Lee had rushed to help stop either one from hurting the other but Azula had been dropped by twenty soldiers and about all the Kyoshi Warriors. She had endured a week in a prison cell after. But Zuko had had a change of heart and let her out on house arrest under heavy guard. Her rehabilitation may be false, but Zuko wouldn't have her chained to a wall in prison. Ty Lee wondered at the armed escort; whether it was for Azula's safety or Zuko's, she wouldn't hazard to ask. She could hear a clipped angry tone from one of the adjoining sitting rooms and she swallowed hard, throat bobbing. Was Azula talking to herself? Ty Lee pushed the door open.

For once, Azula had slipped her guards. She was sitting on top of an impossibly tall cabinet, one boot hooked over her knee casually. Her tunic and trousers were impeccably pressed, and not one hair was out of her topknot. But the barely restrained anger in her hungry gaze froze Ty Lee in her tracks. Azula licked her lower lip purposefully and lifted a round cup in a mocking toast to the acrobat who was far more severely dressed down than the impeccable princess.

"Did you come here on purpose, Ty Lee? You smell….hmm…. delicious," Azula drawled. She sipped her cup of sake and leaned back on one hand, regarding the acrobat below with a hazy stare. Lust coiled in Ty Lee's belly and her nipples strained against her sheer top. No hello, no 'hi, how ya doing.' She had slipped back into her old bantering as if no time or war or incarcerations had happened. Ty Lee was shocked how familiar the grating words were.

"I was looking for you," Ty Lee gasped. She paused at the bottom of the cabinet and peered up at the half hidden princess. "What are you doing up there?"

"Drinking. Hiding. Zuzu's guards are always on my ass," Azula growled. She uncrossed her leg and spread her knees. From her vantage point below, Ty Lee could see a bulge forming between her thighs. Ty Lee swallowed, lips dry. She reached up and bravely ran her hand up the bottom of Azula's trouser leg, caressing the fabric. The wary look on the princess's face was rapidly tinging with interest as she gazed down at her.

"Come down, Azula. Don't you want to?" she asked almost timidly. Azula quirked a brow and dropped down gracefully. She rose to her full height, smiling down into the omega's face. The proximity made Ty Lee blush and her fingers skimmed cautiously up and down the front of her tunic. She breathed harshly and gasped when Azula finished her sake, unceremoniously dropped the cup and grasped her by the elbows. The sound of breaking porcelain cracked the air. Ty Lee was hauled up forward until she was flush against the princess. Through their clothing she could feel the jut of her erection and Ty Lee moaned.

"It's been awhile," Azula growled. "You never come out during your time….." Her fingers clawed up and down the bare expanse of skin along Ty Lee's midriff, scraping over the toned musculature. Ty Lee peered up into the passionate golden eyes, brown eyes wide. She was trembling with excitement, lust and maybe a hint of fear. The fear was good though; it made her want to tame the savage promise in Azula's gaze. Just like the one and only time she had joined with Azula while in the field…..

"I had to this time," Ty Lee moaned. She watched Azula's eyes widen as she began stripping her clothing. Her sheer top was pulled off and Azula helped with her breast band. Azula smirked, kneading her breasts through her fingers and leaned down to taste them. Ty Lee gasped as her nipples were coaxed to harder points between red lips. The stimulation went due south and made her gush a fresh stream of wetness. Her thighs were very damp now and when Azula's nostrils flared, Ty Lee knew she could scent her.

Azula growled low in her chest and Ty Lee gladly was swept up in her arms. The kiss the princess landed on her mouth was bruising but Ty Lee rode it out as best she could. She fought back, nipping at Azula's lower lip and drawing it between her teeth. All the while, Azula's hands were roughly molding her against her front. Azula moved to unfasten her own tunic and the waistband of her trousers but Ty Lee was ripping at the ties, almost smacking Azula's hands so she could strip her faster.

Azula gave a toothy grin, shrugging out of her ripped clothing. She made short work of Ty Lee's flowing pants, tugging the waistband down her flared hips. Her cock bobbed toward Ty Lee, freed from its confinement. The look Ty Lee cast down at it was arousing to say the least. She licked her lip and Azula could imagine her cock pushing between her lips. Her cock throbbed.

Azula opened her mouth to shoot off a snarky comment when she gasped instead. Ty Lee's hand dipped low and wrapped around her erection. She squeezed near the base as if to draw her knot out faster. Azula thrust her hips forward, caught in the physical stimulation, the maddening curls of Ty Lee's playful chi and the curves revealed to her hungry gaze. Azula growled and pulled Ty Lee hard against her. Her cock throbbed against the omega's belly.

Ty Lee gasped prettily and rubbed herself against it. She tugged the princess down to the floor. It was a sudden decision to just go for it in the sitting room, possible interruption be damned. Most people couldn't think clearly through a heat and the pounding need drove all sane thoughts from her mind. Their spiked chi that threatened to entangle would have warned anyone nearby of what was happening and possibly give them a few moments of privacy. Ty Lee didn't know if the guards would cart Azula away or let them go at it. But she had to have her now. Azula pushed Ty Lee onto her back and ran a hand down her taut belly, down further to part her wet thighs.

Ty Lee arched her back moaning as she parted for Azula's fingers. The princess worked her open firmly, her digits all but sucked into the warmth between the omega's thighs. She was so hard and she had to get inside the beautiful woman. Without preamble, she tugged her fingers free and pulled Ty Lee's legs around her waist.

Ty Lee was panting with excitement, one hand pressed between Azula's breasts as if to steady herself.

"You're in for it now," Azula promised. Her eyes gleamed. She rubbed the head of her cock against the damp folds pushing against her.

"Please, Azula," Ty Lee all but pleaded. Her hands trembled on the princess's sides.

"Please what?" Azula was beginning to sweat, a fine line beading down her jaw. Other than that, you would never know she wasn't in danger of losing control. She rubbed against Ty Lee, grinning at the moans she was pulling from the omega's throat. "Do you want this?"

"YES…" Ty Lee moaned. She pushed up against Azula's cock, trying to pull it inside but the princess kept only the tip from entering her. She held her hips still, smiling that maddening smirk. Ty Lee's fingers traced the smirking red lips with one finger tip. "FUCK….."

"We're getting to that," Azula smirked. She darted her lips open and licked Ty Lee's fingers and pressed her palms on either side of Ty Lee's head on the floor. She arched low and began to push in. The first inch was drawn in firmly, caught snug in the sopping wet warmth. Ty Lee gave a high pitched moan that was dangerously close to a scream. Azula grit her teeth. The only time she'd been inside the acrobat was a fluke chance in the field. She had stumbled on Ty Lee bathing at their camp and instead of being sent away, Ty Lee had opened her towel and tugged the princess close. The coupling was fierce and fast, and Azula wished it had gone on for a while longer.

Not to mention that wasn't a heat. Not like now. Azula paused in her entrance, teeth tugging her lower lip as she savored the warmth encasing her. Ty Lee's head was tossed to the side and she was moaning. Her hands clawed the princess's sides. Azula smiled in her head as the passionate haze of the heat encircled her in its heady embrace. She slid the rest of the way in and began her rut in earnest, hips pumping faster. Her knot kept bumping against Ty Lee's clit on each stroke and the acrobat made soft noises, widening her thighs as if to draw her in.

Azula grit her teeth. She wanted a few more moments of longer thrusts to her rut before instinct overwhelmed her. She never left any one she mated unsatisfied and seeing the omega trying to hold back her orgasm made her want to push her over the edge. Azula leaned low and nibbled Ty Lee's exposed throat. The pull of Ty Lee's hands across the bunched muscles along her back stroked her pride in her abilities. Ty Lee was pushing back, almost as if she were sparring beneath her. Azula liked the physical thrust and grind, their bodies pressing against each other's. Ty Lee was arching beneath her, as if trying to flip her on her back and Azula growled.

Her teeth worried over Ty Lee's shoulder, tugging slightly where the pale flesh met her throat and the omega gasped. Azula was surprised to feel her hands growing bolder, tugging and clawing at her. When the back of her neck was clasped in surprisingly strong fingers, Azula couldn't fight the kiss Ty Lee had captured, pressing up into her.

Azula moaned in her mouth, hips working lower and faster as she drank in the hard kiss. Ty Lee yelped into her mouth as the edges of her knot was thrust harder and harder against her opening. Her thighs trembled around Azula's waist and her body was taut with tension. Azula smirked against her shoulder, panting with approval. The throaty moan that erupted next came from her and Ty Lee smiled against her shoulder. She buried her face in the princess's shoulder, a high keening wail erupting as Azula worked the knot in.

Her muscles clamped around it, sealing the tie. Azula lifted her head and panted down at Ty Lee. Her hips kept rolling in short thrusts, unable to do more than short and hard. She couldn't pull out if she wanted but Ty Lee clenching around her knot made the moments more than bearable. Azula wanted that moment to stay as long as it could, but her end was being drawn out of her. Ty Lee was coming beneath her, screaming and flailing against the carpet. Azula's fingers fisted the carpet as she roared. White light filled her vision as she came harshly, spurting harshly inside the omega. Small kisses were smeared across her shoulder and throat as Azula slumped across Ty Lee. Her hips kept rolling slowly, Ty Lee clenching around her, drawing more of her seed out.

Azula panted into the floor, half of her face against Ty Lee's shoulder. "Round one done," she gasped. The vulnerable tone made Ty Lee's arms slide high around her back, holding her weight on her. Her thighs gripped her waist longingly.

"Spirits, Azula…" she gasped. She fluttered around Azula's cock and a strangled gasp was wrought out of the princess as she squeezed slowly. Their shared release was a string of give and take and Azula's hazy mind cleared only momentarily as her knot was milked. Azula lifted her head and was surprised when Ty Lee angled her for a kiss.

They stroked tongues hungrily and Azula's hand clutched the back of Ty Lee's head possessively. They lolled across the carpet, legs twining. Azula was still tied inside and she enjoyed the weak flutters her cock was enveloped in. She was all but spent but she couldn't pull out.

"Get what you wanted?" Azula purred. Ty Lee ran her hands up and down the princess's body, relearning every curve and muscle.

"I'm glad you're here. I missed you," Ty Lee confessed. Azula took her lips in a hard kiss, silencing her.

"We're not done yet," Azula warned. She bent her head and took a breast into her mouth. She suckled on one nipple, Ty Lee's hands clutching her head. The omega gasped.

Soft enough to pull out, Azula took the chance to. Ty Lee's back arched from the withdrawal. She clutched Azula's sides, fingers scraping her desperately.

"Back inside," she begged. Azula turned her over onto her knees and clambered over her back.

"YES….." Azula hissed when Ty Lee worked against her head, taking it in. She arched low and thrust hard, splitting the omega from behind. Ty Lee cried out, fists clutching the rug. Their labored breathing filled the air as well as the sound of flesh slapping against flesh. Ty Lee was coming apart but Azula didn't stop from bringing her hand beneath her to seek out the hard nubbin of her clit. She rolled it between two fingertips as her strokes grew harder and wilder. Ty Lee screamed, pushing hard back against her thrusts. Azula's other hand settled on the omega's hip, steadying her as her knot pushed against her opening. The scream became high-pitched as she worked it in firmly. Ty Lee clamped instinctively, securing them together.

Azula roared her pleasure. She leaned over Ty Lee's back, her short thrusts all but slamming her hips forward with their intensity. Ty Lee had her face and upper torso pressed into the carpet, trying to keep her hips held up. She was moaning and crying out in panting gasps and the sounds of her pleasure pushed Azula on further. She gave a few more hard short thrusts, grunting as she began to come.

The second orgasm all but felled the princess. She stayed on her knees out of reflex than any desire to keep form, chest rising and falling rapidly. Ty Lee was pitching forward and Azula fell down with her. They curled on their sides, still tied and Azula rolled her hips slowly. Ty Lee could barely flutter around her, making soft noises of contentment at each steady stream of come splashing her insides. Azula purred against her back. She nipped at the back of the omega's shoulder but didn't break the skin in a mating bite. The implication made Ty Lee shudder. She wished she were facing the princess so she could kiss her, but feeling her nips across her shoulders and her hands across her body were just as good.

"Azula…." Ty Lee gasped. Azula kissed the side of her throat, pushing her braid out of the way.

"Give me a minute… I can feel you moving around me. You need more….." Azula gave a slow thrust, her buried cock nudging Ty Lee inside. She moved back against her, crying out. "Don't you?"

"More…..give me everything…." Ty Lee pleaded. She tilted her head to the side and caught the side of Azula's chin in a kiss. Azula raised an eyebrow at her and angled her head. She drank in her lips before releasing her. Her guards could find them at any time but she really didn't care. She had avoided Ty Lee during her erstwhile house arrest, but she had sought HER out this time. Azula was partially sated, limbs comfortable and warm, not to mention the warmth encasing her cock keeping her tied to the pretty omega. She had been agitated before Ty Lee approached her, but it was a volatile situation. She was on house arrest even if she had been granted luxuries and fine clothing. She couldn't go where she wished and she knew Zuko must want to interrogate her for information on her comrades. But all that was out the window right this moment. Surprised and welcomed into Ty Lee's heat, Azula felt less crazed and almost still.

The voices in her head had quieted to a dull roar that centered on reaching another climax. Her cock twitched at the encouragement. 'Take her! Fuck her! Rut her until she can't move….' Azula gave an experiment thrust of her hips. Ty Lee moved back against her, one foot sliding back against Azula's shin.

"Oh, Azula….." was the pretty moan that was given to her. Azula smiled, a bead of sweat falling off her brow onto Ty Lee's shoulder. Ty Lee was wrapped in the passion the princess's chi wrapped her in, pushing against the lustful pulses of her own chi in playful waves.

Their relationship, or lack thereof a defined one, was still murky and shaky, but Ty Lee didn't want to focus on that. She only wanted to feel Azula's stiffness inside her, be pumped full of her release until they couldn't move again, and lay in the circle of her arms listening to her harsh gasps.

Ty Lee tipped onto her belly, angling her hips up. Azula moved with her and pushed against her firmly. Her cock stiffened and they began again.

End for now
