"Korra...p-please" The name rolled off her tongue in the midst of pleasure and in between panting, in the form of a plea. Korra dug her forehead deeper against Asami's cheek and let out a shuddering breath.

"Use your words, Asami." She trailed her lips up to the woman's earlobe and gently tugged it with her teeth before whispering. "What do you want?"

They were spending the time naked in Korra's bed. Asami was laying with her back against the headboard, her legs spread and her hands gripping the bedsheets while Korra laid next to her, an arm around her to cradle her and the other hand between Asami's legs. Though Korra's fingers were delicately teasing Asami's clit and making her squirm, she knew Asami needed more -much more- but she wouldn't give in as easily. Korra loved when Asami begged and she felt a sense of triumph whenever she got the words out of her.

A moan sounded in the air and Asami's hand moved to grip Korra's working forearm when she teased her entrance.

"I...Kor-" She swallowed deeply. "F-fuck me." Asami finally moaned out and Korra wasted no time to fulfill her lover's request. Korra gasped slightly when her middle finger slid in with no problem and when her ring finger had its way as easily.

"You're so perfect, Asami." The engineer's moans were now short, quick, and high-pitched as Korra started pumping into her. "So beautiful... so eager to take me..." Korra spoke softly against Asami's cheek through the distinct sounds filling the room. "I love you so much." The grip on her forearm tightened and Korra sped up her movements, earning a whine from Asami; whose body was tensing up, a clear sign of soon release.

Asami opened her eyes to look at Korra and the latter wanted to brand this moment onto her brain forever. Her eyes were clouded dark with desire and lust, all her love for Korra underneath those feelings, her lips were slightly parted and, when she let out a quite loud moan, Korra silenced her with her own. Asami was so close. All she had to do was-

Korra woke up with her own scream of pain as she felt something burning on her chest. Her eyes shot open to see Tenzin jump and widen his eyes over her, quickly removing his tools from Korra and moving around the room. She could feel it, the right side of her chest splitting open and her blood trailing down all over her abdomen, arm, and wherever she was laying on. Her vision cleared up and she looked around confused, finally recognizing the medic tent she was laying on. Korra groaned out at the unbearable pain on her chest and she finally remembered.

She had been shot.

"Don't worry Captain, I'm almost done." Tenzin was suddenly over her again. "Drink this." The surgeon tried to shove pills onto her mouth but Korra shook her head and spat them out. She could feel the bullet shifting inside her and doing more damage, almost driving her insane. With her left arm, Korra gripped Tenzin's collar and spoke in a low, hoarse voice.

"Just take the bullet out."

"Captain, I can-" She gripped the collar harder and pulled him closer.

"TAKE THE BULLET OUT, TENZIN!" He flinched at the strained yelling and Korra let him go once he nodded.

The next thing that filled Korra's senses was her own loud scream once again and the unbearable pain she felt Tenzin's tools began digging into her. Korra bit down on her lower lip hard enough so she wouldn't scream again but she could feel everything, including the way the bullet left her muscle and skin. The pressure from the bullet was gone but Tenzin added a superficial one to keep her from bleeding out. The captain took deep breaths to try and stabilize herself and saw Tenzin watching her with worrisome eyes. She leaned her head back against the table she was laying on, feeling her hair sticking around her face with sweat and the taste of blood from her now split lip.
