Chapter Text
It started off innocently enough. Iroh sent her a text letting her know that he was back in town. Korra was beyond excited to hear from him. The two of them had met during Korra’s time in the United Forces. They quickly became very close friends. They kept in touch after she was medically discharged, but they didn’t get to meet up very often because of Iroh’s schedule.
After some debate, Korra decided to dress in a sleeveless blue vest and a new pair of jeans. Her favorite white sneakers completed the look. She said goodbye to Naga, before leaving her apartment. They’d agreed to meet up at their favorite bar Ironside Tavern. It was a popular hangout for both former and active members of the United Forces.
The bar was busy when she walked in. Korra looked around until she spotted a familiar red uniform at the bar. She made her way through the crowd.
“Is this seat taken?” Korra asked, as she approached.
“You came!” Iroh greeted her.
“Of course I did,” She replied, sitting down on the stool beside him. “So, what brings the honorable General Iroh back to town?”
“I’m on leave for the next few weeks,” He answered with a shrug. “Figured I’d drop by and see how you’re doing.”
“Eh, things have been good, just busy,” Korra said, as she flagged down the bartender. “I’ll have a whiskey sour, please.”
“Are you still playing Pro-bending?” Iroh inquired.
“Not anymore no,” Korra sighed. “Had to give it up so I could focus on earning my veterinarian license.”
“And how’s that going?”
“Slowly,” She replied. The bartender placed her drink in front of her, and she smiled in thanks. “It’s been challenging, but I’m pretty sure that I’ll be able to get it this year. What about you?”
“I’ve been good,” Iroh answered, taking a sip of his drink. “I actually just got a pretty nice posting. Command wants me to help train our future officers. So I’m going to be here in the city from now on.”
“That’s fantastic, dude!” Korra said, clapping him in the shoulder enthusiastically. “I’m sure Ginger is excited about that too.”
“Not exactly,” He sighed, staring down at his drink. “She dumped me last month.”
“Wait, really?” She asked in surprise. He nodded. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I don’t know,” Iroh shrugged. “It was pretty surprising at the time. Plus I know that you were dealing with your breakup with Asami, so I didn’t want to bother you.”
“You’re my best friend, Iroh,” Korra said firmly. “You could never bother me. Whatever you need, I’m always here for you. Just like I know you would be for me.”
“I appreciate that,” He replied. “But honestly, I understand why she left. I have a very demanding career and she just got tired of waiting for me to come home.”
“She just wasn’t the right one for you, man,” Korra said, encouragingly. “You’ll find somebody better. In the meantime, let’s just relax and have some fun.”
For the next few hours, the two of them talked and drank. At some point they decided to leave the bar in favor of playing a few games of pool. Korra ended up winning most of them. Eventually they wandered back to the bar and started talking. It was mostly small talk, just catching up on what they’d both been up to during the last few months. Korra wasn’t sure who started flirting, but once it began, it kept going. Maybe it was the alcohol, but as the night progressed, she began to notice different things about him that turned her on. The way his large hands gripped his glass, the way his eyes bored into hers when she was talking. Even just the sound of his voice sent a tingle down her spine.
“Do you want to get out of here?” Korra asked, suddenly. Iroh nodded in agreement. They paid their tabs, then left together.
—
Her apartment door slammed shut, and Korra found herself pushed up against it, as Iroh kissed her deeply. Spirits it had been too long since she was last kissed like this! She grabbed a hold of his jacket and pulled him in closer. He smelled faintly of smoke and faded cologne. They broke apart eventually to catch their breath.
“Are you sure you want to do this?” He asked, his amber eyes watching her intently.
“Absolutely!” She replied firmly. To prove her point, she pulled him into a heated kiss. She moaned when she felt his hands grip her ass and lift her up. Korra clung to him with her arms and legs, as he carried her into the bedroom. Iroh sat down on the bed, with Korra in his lap. She pushed him back onto the mattress. Grinning seductively, she pulled off her vest and tossed it aside. Underneath she was wearing a black bra. It wasn’t her sexiest underwear, but the way Iroh stared at her chest made her blush.
A sudden whine caught their attention. They both looked over to see Naga. The polar bear dog was laying in her bed, watching them. Sighing, Korra got up.
“Come on, girl,” She said, leading Naga out of the bedroom. Naga let out an annoyed huff, as she curled up in the living room. “I know, I know. But it’s only for one night, girl, I promise.”
“Is she okay?” Iroh asked as Korra walked back into the bedroom.
“She’ll be fine,” Korra replied, shutting the door. “Now where were we? Oh, yeah.” She made a show of unbuttoning her jeans, then turned around and pushed them down her legs. Her boy shorts were the same color as her bra. When she turned around again, Iroh was staring at her hungrily.
“Come here,” He said, gesturing. Korra walked over to him, swaying her hips as she did so. She sat down on his lap slowly, and kissed him. “Fuck, you’re so hot.”
“So are you,” Korra said. “But I think you’re a little overdressed.” Iroh immediately began to shrug off his uniform jacket and tossed it aside. His undershirt quickly followed. Korra bit her lip as her eyes drank in his torso. Iroh’s physique was slightly more muscular than her own. She ran her hands over his pecs and down to his abs, relishing in the feeling of hard muscular under smooth skin. Iroh let out a soft groan at her touch.
Curiously, Korra rolled her hips against his. He immediately stiffened, a moan escaping his lips. Spirits, that noise was hot! She thought. Korra continued to grind herself against him, while leaning down to kiss at his neck and shoulders.
“You can touch me,” She said, her lips hovering over his pulse point. “I want you to touch me, Iroh.” He didn’t need to be told twice. His calloused hands roamed over her back and hips, before moving up her chest. Korra moaned as he squeezed her breasts through her bra. Suddenly, she slid off his lap.
“What are you doing-“ His sentence trailed off when Korra removed her bra and boy shorts. Korra knelt down between his legs and reached up to start unbuckling his belt. “You don’t have to do that.”
“I want to,” Korra replied. Her deft fingers had his pants undo and pulled down in record time, leaving him in only his white boxers. His excitement was evident by the tent in his underwear. Korra made a show of licking her lips, before pulling off his boxers. His cock sprang to attention as soon as it was freed from the fabric. She wasted no time leaning forward and running her tongue from the base of the shaft, all the way to tip.
“Fuck, Korra,” Iroh moaned above her. Korra smirked. She continued to lick his shaft, occasionally twirling her tongue around the tip. Then she added in a hand, slowly pumping it up and down, while leaning down to give his balls some attention as well. Korra licked and sucked at them. Iroh’s thighs started to tremble slightly.
“Enjoying yourself, General?” She asked, smirking up at him.
“You're such a tease,” He grunted. Korra decided to have mercy on him. She leaned up and licked the precum off his cock, before wrapping her lips around it once again. She bobbed her head up and down, slowly taking more of his length into her mouth each time. While reaching down with her free hand to fondle his balls. Iroh placed a hand on the back of her head, gripping her hair tightly.
“I’m so close!” Iroh called out. Korra continued with her efforts, flattening out her tongue on the underside of his cock, and sucking harder. Suddenly, his whole body went rigid, as he shot his hot load into her mouth. She swallowed it eagerly, then released his cock with a wet pop!
“Damn,” He said, breathlessly.
“Oh we’re only getting started,” Korra chuckled.
“It’s only fair if I return the favor,” Iroh replied. “Get up here.” Korra crawled onto the bed and laid down on her back, with her legs spread. He knelt down between them. “So, what works for you?”
“Well, I’m pretty close as it is, so it probably won’t take much,” She explained. “But up and down motions on my clit usually does it for me.”
“Good to know,” He said. Iroh laid down, moved her legs so they were laying on his shoulders, then went to work. Korra moaned as she felt his tongue slid up through her folds. His tongue delved in deeply, lapping up her juices, before moving up to her clit. She let out a high pitched sound as he started licking and sucking on the sensitive nub. Her hands fisted in the bedding as she felt herself getting closer to the edge.
“Spirits!” She moaned, as his tongue swiped over her clit once again. “Just like that baby! Don’t stop! Don’t stop! Don’t fucking stop!”
With another swipe of his tongue, Korra tumbled over the edge. She came with a wild shout. Her toes curled and her vision blurred. When she regained her senses, Iroh was laying next to her, watching her with concern.
“Pretty sure your neighbors are going to hate us tomorrow,” He said. Korra rolled her eyes playfully.
“Trying to tap out already?” She teased.
“Not at all,” Iroh grinned. “Do you have a preferred position?” In response, Korra moved onto all fours, lowered her head to the mattress and wiggled her ass at him. “Do you have protection?”
“There’s condoms in the drawer of my nightstand,” Korra replied. She waited patiently as he retrieved a condom and put it on. The bed dipped as he moved into position behind her. “Just an FYI, I usually like it rough. But it’s okay if you’re not into that.”
“Roger,” Iroh replied. He gripped her hip with one hand, while reaching down between her legs with the other. She moaned as his fingers began exploring her folds. He continued to finger her for a few seconds, before removing his hand and replacing it with his cock. He swiped the head through her folds, before guiding himself inside her slowly. Korra let out a groan, and gripped the bedding tightly. “You okay?”
“I’m fantastic,” She assured him. “It’s just been a while is all.”
“I’ll go slow,” Iroh said. He gripped her hips with both hands as he began thrust. True to his word, he started off at a slow pace, letting her adjust to the stretch.
“Okay, I’m good,” Korra announced between moans. “Harder, please.” Iroh wordlessly began to thrust faster, and harder. The sound of their skin slapping together filled the room. “Fuck, yes! Just like that.”
“Spirits,” He moaned, shifting his stance so he could thrust with more force. Korra moaned loudly, uncaring if anyone could overhear them. The bed began to creak underneath them.
“Spank me!” She said breathlessly. “I need you to spank me, Iroh.” His hand came down hard on her left cheek and she moaned in response. Encouraged, he continued to occasionally spank her between thrusts.
“I’m getting close again,” Iroh said suddenly.
“So am I,” Korra replied. “Come with me, baby!” With one final thrust, she came undone with a screaming moan. At the same time, he came as well. They collapsed onto the mattress, exhausted and sweaty. “Damn, bro.”
“I know,” Iroh chuckled, as he rolled onto his back. “That was intense.”
“We should’ve done this sooner,” Korra said breathlessly. “Think you can go again?”
“Maybe in a few minutes,” He replied.
“Ginger was an idiot for dumping you,” She muttered.
“I could say the same about Asami,” He retorted. “But do you really want to think about them right now?”
“Not really,” Korra replied. “In all honesty, I’m not looking for a relationship right now. I’d rather just have some fun now that I’m single, you know?”
“I do,” Iroh agreed. “Speaking of, I think I’m ready to go again.”
—
Over the next few weeks, the two of them continued to meet up. The sex was fantastic. They mostly agreed to meet up at Korra’s apartment, since Iroh lived on base, and neither of them wanted to have to sneak around. Eventually, however, Korra knew that they needed to figure out what was going on between them.
“We need to talk,” Korra said as soon as she arrived.
“About what?” Iroh asked, shutting the door.
“About this,” She replied, gesturing between them. “Whatever is going on between us. We’ve been sleeping together for a few weeks now, not that I’m complaining, because the sex is fantastic. But I can’t help but wonder what’s going on, you know?”
“Well, it’s like you said when we first slept together,” Iroh replied. “We both just got out of serious relationships and we’re not really ready to start dating again.”
“So what exactly is going on here?” Korra inquired. “Are we just hooking up?”
“I mean, you said it yourself, it has been pretty good so far,” Iroh said. “Since we’re both enjoying each other, I don’t see why we’d have to stop. Unless you want to.”
“I don’t,” She replied immediately. Iroh smirked slightly. “What? You know that I hadn’t gotten laid in a while before we started hooking up. But if we’re going to keep doing this, we should probably have a few ground rules.”
“Like what?” He asked.
“Like both agree to tell each other if we decide to sleep with someone else,” Korra began. “Just so we know that we’re both clean.”
“Sounds reasonable,” Iroh agreed. “And how about we agree to end our fun once one of us decides to start dating?”
“Sounds good,” She said. “And no catching feelings.”
“I’ve always hated that term,” He replied, frowning slightly. “It makes it sound like love is some kind of disease.”
“You’re such a romantic,” Korra teased him. He rolled his eyes playfully. “How about we agree to not start developing feelings, is that better?”
“Yes,” Iroh said. “Also no requesting booty calls when we know that one or both of us are busy.”
“That works for me,” She agreed. “And we both supply protection. And snacks.”
“Agreed,” He replied. “Do we need to put this in writing?”
“I don’t see any reason to,” Korra shrugged. She held out her hand. After a moment of confusion, he shook it. “Congratulations, we’re now fuck buddies.” Iroh shook his head in amusement.
