Katara felt her heart beating nervously in her chest as she and Aang walked into their home; careful to be quiet as to not wake Suki and Sokka, who were probably already asleep. She didn't know why she was so nervous but perhaps it was that this time, she knew what Aang and her were about to do. Sure, they had talked about it before; they had actually gone pretty far with their physical explorations of each other. All of those had taken place during the heat of the moment though. This wasn't the same. This was planned.

It wasn't that she didn't want to make love to him; she wanted that more than anything. As they got closer and closer to their bedroom however, she found that she was a little afraid of what he might think of her. What if he didn't like what he saw? What if she disappointed him?

She felt from their connection that Aang was having the same problems that she was having, which oddly, made her feel a little more comfortable about the situation. More than anything however, she couldn't wait to be back in his arms once again.

Aang opened the bedroom door, leading them inside before closing the door behind him. He found that he wasn't able to do anything else however as Katara had suddenly pressed him against the closed door, crashing her lips on top of his as she gripped the front of his robes tightly. His arms wrapped around her waist in automatic response, pulling her tightly against him. He felt her tongue run across his bottom lip and he opened his mouth slightly, granting her access.

Katara didn't waste any time exploring his mouth. Her tongue ran across his inner lip and then to the insides of his cheeks, pleased with herself when she heard a soft sigh coming from the back of his throat. After a few moments of letting her explore, he stroked his tongue against her own, causing his fiancé to move her hands up to cup his face, deepening the kiss.

She felt one of his hands move a little lower, coming to rest on her butt, and she gave out a soft gasp of surprise when he gave it a gentle squeeze. Her breathing quickened as she unconsciously pressed herself closer to him, if that were even possible. It wasn't close enough for her liking however and when his hand began to rub her rear, she couldn't help but want more. She didn't even realize it, but her hands had subconsciously moved down to grasp the bottom of his robes, attempting to lift them up and over his head.

Knowing what she was trying to do, Aang reluctantly broke their heated kiss, and lifted his arms up which allowed her to easily remove the robe from him; revealing the skin underneath. Once that was taken care of, she once again captured his lips in hers as her hands began to run across his bare skin.

One hand remained on the back of his neck, holding him against her, while the other ran across his soft, yet firm, stomach. She allowed her hand to travel up and across his chest, her thumb brushing across one of his nipples which drew a small shiver from him, before moving over his shoulder to rub circles on his back.

Her touch felt incredibly good to him and his body yearned for her to do more. As if she heard his unspoken request, she removed her lips from his and began to plant quick, but heated kisses across his face and moving to his ear. He felt her warm breath against his skin before she nipped at the lobe affectionately, causing him let out a groan. He loved what she was doing, but at the same time, he felt like it was time for him to give something back.

After letting her trail kisses along his neck for several moments, he scooped her up in his arms, and walked her over to their bed, setting her down on it gently. Her eyes watched him longingly, quickly looking of his bare chest as he hovered over her. His position of dominance that he now held gave her a comforting feeling of protection and it was a feeling that she welcomed. She knew that no one else but him could make her feel like that.

He gently caressed her cheek with the back of his hand before moving it down to finger the pendant of the betrothal necklace he had given her just half an hour ago. Part of him couldn't really believe that they were now engaged, but the proof was right there in front of him. He slowly leaned down and planted a kiss on her cheek, and she tilted her head to bring their lips together once again as her arms came around him, making sure that he didn't move off of her.
