Athlea took Zuko's hand and stood, giggling. He leaned down as she whispered. "Maybe try for that fourth baby you kept mentioning," she teased, a smile on her face.
He half jumped away. She raised an eyebrow. "You're not allowed to tease me with that!" he protested. "And besides, I'm still taking that as a yes."
"I-I was just kidding, it's still a no," she said shaking her head slightly.
After a moment he narrowed his eyes at Athlea and grabbed her waist, throwing her over his shoulder. Her eyes widened. "Bed time," he announced.
"Hey!" she protested.
Zuko raised his brows at Athlea. "You're not allowed to tease!" he repeated. He pinched her thigh gently. Once in their room, he dropped her lightly on her feet.
"You just had to carry me?" She smirked, crossing her arms.
Zuko bit the inside of his lip, his smirk reflecting hers. He watched her for a second, then growled and tackled her onto the bed, looking down at her and laughing.
Her eyes slightly widened but she laughed along with him, her eyes up on him. "Well isn't someone hungry tonight," she teased as she leaned up, her lips moving to his neck, kissing softly before starting to bite.
Zuko tilted his chin up, sliding his hands underneath her gown, humming softly. "You're the one biting me," he protested, his hands holding her thighs.
Athlea smiled against his neck as she continued to kiss and bite, moving to his collarbone, then shoulder. "Me? I don't know what you're talking about," she said.
Zuko exhaled, smirking, whining with a low voice as she bit him. "Right," he murmured in response, crinkling his nose as she bit him. She left a few more love bites on before pulling away. "Hey, watch it!" He pulled away, pouting and rubbing his shoulder. "You're sharp!"
Athlea giggled. "Aww, well, you should have gotten used to it by now," she teased, her hands moving to his shoulders and pulling him back on top of her, all while her hands moved to his sides and held him. "Can't blame me," she added with a playful wink at him.
Zuko tilted her chin up with a thumb, frowning and kissing her. "At this point I expect it, but it doesn't make my skin any thicker," he murmured.
A smile crossed her lips. "Mm, maybe. I do like marking you sometimes," she admitted with a giggle.
Zuko's face went red and he blinked. "Marking me, huh?" he said, his voice rough between kisses on her collarbone. She tilted her head. "Too bad for me, your dresses show your neck and shoulders," he muttered, sucking lightly on her collarbone before leaning back to take his shirt off.
"You're lucky too; your neck shows," she whispered. "Otherwise, you'd have plenty of love bites," she said, biting on her lower lip.
Zuko smiled, a hand moving to touch his collarbone. "I pretty much do already. I think you just know how to hide them," he teased. He grabbed her thighs and pulled her legs over his hips so that he was sitting between them.
Athlea giggled. "Like I said, don't blame me. You're hot, you bring out this side of me." She blinked. "You tease; let's see what you have up your sleeve tonight," she said.
Zuko raised his eyebrows again, laughing softly. He tilted his head. "I'm not teasing. I'm just sitting here." As he spoke, one hand moved slowly up her leg, his thumb sliding underneath her panties.
