Chapter 164: A Fulfilled Bounty
Jin slowly pushed open the doors to her bedroom. Unlike Azu, she lived alone and by the night, the two would sleep in each other's company... but tonight she couldn't sleep well. It was one of THOSE nights where just fingers and tongue didn't do enough for her... and to be honest, Azu's nature made sure that she slept peacefully after being fully satisfied and left Jin wanting for the scrapes as she hadn't even begun yet.
The face of that fair-skinned youth, somber golden eyes but that nervous little smile flashed in her mind. Her breathing turned rough for a second. He had been in her mind for the longest time but she didn't dare reach out to him... Azu... would do something disastrous and Jin feared it.
Azu hadn't always been this scary... or she hid it too well. In fact, she would be the calmest by her mother's side but everywhere else, Azu was a menace.
Cleaning herself up slightly with a wet cloth, Jin wore her robes and settled her disheveled hair just enough to not look too 'loose' to others outside. "Azu... I'm going to fetch some water by the well. Do you need something?"
As usual, at this point in the night when she'd had her fill, Azu slept like a content kitty. Even if Jin couldn't reach out to him, she wanted to look outside for a bit. Maybe she wanted to pay Azu back for all the selfishness over the years... Jin had been fine when her lover went ahead to spend the night with some other lonesome woman and bragged about it but when Azu deliberately ignored her needs... that truly hurt Jin. And she couldn't even reveal it.
Always forced to act sweetly... smiling and coyly eyeing Azu... the thought made her stomach churn tonight.
But... who should she look for? Almost everyone knows that she and Azu are a thing... well, everyone except the newcomers...
With a strange glint, Jin stepped outside of her hut and yelped the next second when she found the snot of a strange animal sniffing her.
She stumbled back and looked up to see a dark-haired woman with slightly blurry features... granted that they might not be blurry... It was dark outside and Jin had been too surprised to see anything clearly.
Still, the woman and the beast didn't linger around and walked forward.
Scoffing, Jin stood up once again, "What a bitch... shoving noses into people's faces!"
Dusting her butt, noticing a perky jiggle that accompanied her robes to boost her confidence, Jin smiled once again.
"I wonder if he lives in the shop itself... if he does... and those beautiful women... could there be something going on? How curious..." Jin muttered and began making her way to the tea shop, finally realizing that the beast she encountered a few minutes ago had passed through this region itself.
---
Nik was joking when he said to Mai that he was willing to get into any trouble... truly. He was here to have some peace.
"Ya bastard! Gimme back my pouch!" A drunk hunk hollered, but he didn't try and attack. Clearly, he wasn't drunk enough to forget the smackdown he'd gotten yesterday while Nik continued to keep his back to them. Raising his mug, Nik surprised the crowd around him that was waiting for some show, "I'm new here and I certainly don't like to fuck with idiots... get everyone else another mug of pint. On me!"
He slammed his mug down, cracking it in half but it was long empty while the other villagers, drunk men, and a few women cheered loudly!
"Hey, sit down asshole! Let me enjoy a free drink before you cause trouble," Kei Lo instantly pulled down the two brothers while Zulon was out of sorts, still.
In his drunken stupor, unmindful of his surroundings, he finally scoffed, "I hate that Jin is getting it up with Azu... she should be with me!"
The trio around him shrugged as Nik looked back, casting a glance at the gloomy youth. Ba Sing Se was long occupied by the people of two nations so finding men and women from the fire nation was no longer a surprise.
What he was surprised by, however, was the similarity in the name the youth just spoke.
Azu... now that I think about it, that guy Kei Lo also talked about her... could she be it?
Yet, breaking him out of his thoughts was a dark-haired woman who had a better half of her face covered by her cascading dark hair as she wore a mix of strapped pitch-black tunics with many knives, and a whip around her waist. A silver band with a skull motif kept a small fold of her hair in its position. She looked around for a second before instantly zeroing on Nik who still kept gazing at her.
Sauntering with a thick smile over her red marked lips, her tongue flicking out to lick her slightly dry lips, she picked the slightly healthy man sitting next to Nik by the counter and threw him away.
She threw a man...
That strength.
That smile.
Those eyes...
Nik was sure this woman was trouble personified.
"Phew~ Zulon, check it out," Kei Lo whistled and Nik felt that he had almost found the family Iroh had been searching for.
Azu? Zulon? They sounded remarkably close to Azula and Zuko. If they have a mother named something closer to Ursa then this is it.
"The offer extends to her, too," Nik gave the owner a stare as he shrugged and filled a mug for the newcomer, her smile only broadened at this.
"My, my," Her mature and slightly low tone cooed, "Just when I was feeling parched."
Not bothering with any formalities, the woman picked up the mug and downed it. Her lips didn't let go of the mug even as two distinct streams of the booze began to flow down from the corners of her lips and trail down her neck. But that's where it ended. Her clothes had higher collars.
Instead, Nik turned to look at her deep green eyes. Well, he could just see the one and assumed she had another eye. A thickly toned greyish eye shadow was painted over her eyelids while she finally let out a breath of relief and set the mug down with a pleased groan, "That's the stuff! Keep it coming, on him!"
She patted Nik roughly, fully letting him feel the force she can manage to exert from her overall slender frame as she looked over at him, "You won't mind it, right?"
"I don't have any money for her... only got one customer today. Just the one shot and nothing more." Nik scoffed and continued to eat a large spread of cooked chicken with a rather spicy sauce over it.
The woman frowned and continued to gaze at Nik, "I'm here for the girl and the woman, kid."
"Wow," Nik mumbled with his mouth full, "You do not know what to get in a tavern. You'll find plenty of women by the corner."
Seeing the conversation not going any further, the woman hummed in amusement and smiled, "It's tough imagining that those of such wealthy and noble heritage would choose you over... inheritance."
"Lifetime of practice, sweety... you'll get there, don't worry," Nik continued to eat without care.
"Another plate, boss," Nik grinned, his lips smeared with oils.
"A barrel of your best drink for me," She called out, attracting everyone's attention. Knowing what the group was expecting, the woman grinned, "All for ME!" she asserted and looked around. "What are you looking at? Hmm?" She gazed and smiled at a few people until everyone began to ignore the two newcomers once again.
"Don't make this harder on yourself, boy," She smiled, "It takes more than bending to defeat the greatest bounty hunter of the kingdom."
The threat was clear but she naturally kept her voice low for business reasons.
"Let me get this clear... by the girl you mean daughter and by the woman you mean wife, right?" Nik muttered thoughtfully.
"Indeed. Hand them over. We all walk away from this peacefully." She continued, not really in the mood to fight when she was this thirsty. She glanced at the small barrel set in front of her and smiled.
"Which pair?" Nik's question stumped her for a second.
"Hmm?"
"Which pair? I should at least know who you're demanding... so it's confusing since I made two pairs of mothers and daughters run away... if you can believe it."
"And yet, you still don't have money for a few shots?"
"Yeah, not for you. Why feed someone threatening, right?" Nik chuckled.
"Does the man named Lao Beifong rings any bell?" The woman spoke up.
"Hmm, probably. But you'll have to refresh my memory."
"Oh?"
"My mind needs juice... and my mug is empty," Nik pointed out as he took another plate of chicken from the owner...
She gazed at the plate before shrugging, "Sure, I don't mind picking your tab as long as you hand them over."
"Sure," Nik nodded without a thought but both of them knew that it was not happening.
*Thck*
"Huff, huff..." Another figure entered the tavern at this moment, her chest heaving as she instantly found Nik. Before she could reach out to him, Jin hear someone else.
"Jin? Why are you up this late in the night?" Her body froze for a second and she stiffly looked over at Zulon. Her heart began to thump so loudly she could hear it beating against her ears but she quickly pointed at the familiar woman... she had certainly seen the familiar beast outside the tavern, too.
"Her... I need to speak with her in private!" Beginning from nervousness, Jin ended her words with a confident growl and looked at the woman next to Nik, "You! What's your name?!"
"Not a pushover, that's for sure," the woman remarked dryly and heard Nik speak up, "Ooh, that's a good one."
"Why did you bring that beast right in front of my doorsteps?! It scared the crap out of me."
The bounty hunter finally groaned and turned around to look at Jin, "Fine... I apologize for scaring the shitters out of ya... now run along. I've some business to complete."
"Hey!" A youth stood up with a scowl, "Don't you take that tone with her!"
Even Nik turned around to look at Zulon as the bounty hunter finally couldn't hold it. Her loud, boisterous laugh filled the tavern, "Whoo! That got me good~ Look at them, so cute... say, have you had such moments with your pair?"
She elbowed Nik as he nodded at Jin with a smile, "Don't bother with her... this woman is drunk."
"I- I see..." Jin bit her lips and nodded, "Zulon... I'll see you tomorrow..." She muttered before leaving while the bounty hunter didn't let up, "Ah, sweetheart! Won't you kiss the brave boy as a reward? Cause I just might~!"
"Shut up!" Zulon growled, his golden eyes glinted fierily.
"Fine, I'll shut up, who wants unnecessary trouble... ah, should I have not taken such a tone with you, too?" She teased as Zulon's expression fell.
He snorted as Kei Lo and others kept trying to pull him down, "Remember, you're in Ba Sing Se... the Blue Devils run amok around here!"
"Well, they can kiss the soles of my boots, cunt," she smirked before turning around once again.
"So? Where are we on our trade?" She eyed Nik.
"Absolute zero..." Nik hummed with a smile.
"How about this? We don't fight. It'll alert them and I've come to know that his daughter is a crazy bender, too... how about you and I bet our honors?"
"Well... I think I have very little honor. Sure, let's bet it and strip it off all tonight," Nik chuckled.
"Hey, I ain't unreasonable. That man is a proper cunt, too... he fucking had his daughter's undies with him. So, let's drink! If you pass out first, hand them to me tomorrow, if I pass out... who knows... maybe I would get to see what's all the fuss about you and pairs of women." She smirked, confidently throwing him a 'bone.'
"Really? A drinking contest?" Nik questioned again.
"Or arm wrestling. Pick your poison. Personally, after all the travel I did to track your trails... I just wanna get wasted!"
She pushed her barrel towards Nik and tapped the counter once more, making the owner grunt as he took out another barrel.
---
"Mmhh, hey, I still don't know your name..." Nik's groan resounded as the sound of sloppy gagging came to a halt while he met both of her eyes with her dark hair tugged back, allowing him to view her face properly in all her sultry glory as she had her head slipped along his length with her dark green eyes curved in delight. She went ahead and pressed her lips forward whilst sucking her cheeks in and slowly pulling back. Once she had her lips over the base of his cockhead, she gave it a rather forceful kiss before opening her mouth wide, her tongue still holding onto quite a bit of hot white load before she closed her lips and swallowed.
"Does my name matter, love? You've got an appetite for booze, and I could get hung on your mead, too. As long as you keep me paid, we're looking at a great partnership here~!"
"Right," Nik chuckled, leaning down the mattress of the tavern and holding her cheeks, "And what should I have you do for all the coin I spend on you?"
Groaning somewhat in her drunken stupor, her mind simply laced with sex and all the worries for the day ahead shoved deeper than the spots Nik intended to pound, the woman whimpered, "Call me June, love. And I ain't no whore," she mustered despite her whorish dilemmas, "And I WILL need gold to make up for letting go of the mother and daughter~!"
Nik snickered. He wasn't going to pay, of course.
"What about the bet? You still smell more od booze than your own cunt," His other hand began to slowly and quite lovingly hold her hair back completely as she leaned down to still lick his throbbing erection. Her hot breaths made him lean back in comfort and he finally heard her whisper, "That's just an excuse for this... Nik, right? Have you ever been to Phoenix City yet? Things ain't known down here but... up there... boy, I'm not the first or the last you'll see trying to pick a fight."
Nik scoffed and pulled June's head back with her hair before having her pressed over her bed as she let out a muffled mewl, "But if the world's best Bounty Hunter is next with you, all your troubles would fade. Give me gold, and give me some of this... nngh~" He groaned as Nik flopped his dick over her pale and cushy rear twitching with anticipation while his hands undid the straps of her outfit, uncovering her back with only her boots remaining on her body that reached up to her calves, "Keep me happy, boy. I know you love to steal~ That man's manor is stolen, too, right? I'm sure— Mmmghhh!"
Unable to finish, her words, she found herself gripping the bedsheets tightly, a surprised moan rolling off her tongue as she had her wet folds stretched to the brim and to the deepest and tightest spots!
Being a bounty hunter, the best one at that, had its own pressure but she had never really let any of it stump her down. But this... if her gasps were an indication of anything... she realized she was in more trouble than she expected.
She had researched on Nik, at least, she knew what most of the higher-ups of the Fire Nation knew about him through virtue of Lao Beifong's intelligence. And no matter how he presents himself to others... in the eyes of those men, Nik was a plunderer. He plundered wealth, structures, and women. He was a scourge that many wanted gone, and if she knew about his spiritual reputation then she would only laugh, thinking that it was almost meant-to-be.
But she didn't speak any of it. They could discuss many things later. Her nature had led her to many troubles but only this one could she see truly sticking to her. Hot, attractive, filling, and wealthy~!
"Fuck!" She groaned as Nik fucked her from behind. Her hands tore into the mattress, revealing her extraordinary strength once again while her slick and wet folds clenched around his cock tightly, making him pant hotly. Her wide butt rippled with each strike and it made Nik adore her back even more. Her asshole twitched, spreading slightly in a way that allowed Nik to realize that the woman was quite experienced and he pressed her hole shut with a thumb.
As if unable to just remain fulfilled by fucking her a new one and leave her wanting more, Nik leaned forward and gripped her hair back, pulling her up in tandem as her breasts jiggled free with each thrust. If her moans were to be understood correctly, then she loved the rough treatment which made Nik clench her hair harder and growl into her ears, "The fuck were you thinking sauntering in and getting wasted, you slut!"
He loved to give credit where it deserved and as a former... scratch that, as a slut craving a harem, he recognized another one of his kind as her lips quirked in a sultry grin. Speaking between her moans, she berated, "Don't you, ngh~ think I'm—"
"Oh, you are!" Nik whispered, his cock pushing against her cervix as her gaze grew unfocused for a second before he wrapped his arm around her neck and collarbone, pulling her back to have her pressed against his chest and allowing June to claw at his arms despite the pain that followed, "We'll get along just fine, June," Nik added, delivering a slap to the side of her butt with his free arm as she yelped loudly.
She enjoyed every bit of the treatment, truly. He'd identified her just right. Beneath the fame of the top bounty hunter lay a woman even more vivacious and comely as her words edged her onto the ever-so-close orgasm. It was right around the corner, she knew it, but despite everything, she would not let him think that this treatment is for granted!
Her teeth sunk into his arm with a bloody, feral growl, her cunt suddenly spasming as she came right then there, losing the strength in her jaws the next second as she slurped and moaned against the blood she drew from his arm.
"Gah!" Nik gasped, almost letting it loose himself but this much pain proved more of a distraction than pleasure... good thing Mai wasn't here to see THAT changed.
"Better stop fucking around now, Nik," June soon regained her composure, slightly. Pulling back, her lips still stained with his blood and the tip of her teeth reddish as she grinned while tossing him a sensual look over her shoulder, she proceeded to lick her lips and taste him in other ways, "I might just devour you."
But after training with Toph, after punching his knuckles bloody, June would be mistaken to think that this is enough. There was a time when getting beaten by a stick would have made him scream if not in pain then in exaggeration but it wasn't needed here. Grinning, Nik held her tighter, "You lost the drinking game, honey. If anything, you're the one getting devoured so keep your eyes open as the abyss swallows you."
And there it was again.
Iroh had stated that a firebender truly gained his strength from their passion. But it can be different for everyone. If Nik wasn't sure then, he is now. His firebending came from a sick and twisted place of his own but something he wholeheartedly excepted at this point because there was no reason to reject it. He felt his smile turn wider. He felt more alive as the heat pumped through his veins and made his throbbing cock harder— squeezing her walls even more in response.
Her lovely dark green eyes lit up, "Oh, I'm looking. And it's no abyss~!" Her snicker only turned into wanton moans as Nik began to plow her more sensitive folds with renewed vigor.
"S-shit!" She gasped while holding his arm around her chest but refrained from clawing or biting this time. There hadn't been a single change in his expression then... and now she was just trying to make it more pleasant. Why make war when you can make love, right?
Beginning to take more initiative, she pumped her ass back at the end of every thrust, making sure that she devoured every inch of his meat.
*Pah*
*Pah*
*Pah*
The sounds of their wet and sloppy fuck echoed just as their moans and grunts. He was nearing his own limits and with a groan he pulled back, letting go of his arm around June's neck and chest as already weak in the knees, she collapsed on the bed ahead. It only took another stroke from his hand as Nik found himself painting June's back and sweaty back and juicy pale that reddened around the center with a successive shot of his seed. Her lips parted in shock slightly and then she closed her eyes. Feeling it hit her back and then settle. His heat permeated her very core as her pussy still wanted more... but she was drunk, and filled.
And long tired from her travel, she found her vision darkening under the protest of her body that craved more rest than pleasure although her heart would argue that.
Huffing, not the least bit tired, Nik soon heard her soft snores. But he couldn't even feel frustrated.
June was a wild ride but now, his priority was to tuck her in and then return to the shop to speak with others. Well, tucking her in was merely optional... but he would choose to do it. It's just nice knowing he fucked and tucked June into a pleasant sleep.
Once done with the clean-up after the act, he stepped down and looked at everyone... the drinking challenge took an hour to get a winner and Nik's reward of winning took another hour. The night was still young, as they say, but when he stepped down, he felt many gazes at him.
They weren't exactly whispering up there so... Nik glanced at the owner of the tavern and muttered, "For the food," he placed another pouch on the counter and left.
Now Nik wasn't paranoid or jealous, but he knew deviants when he saw one most of the time, and many in the tavern, once they saw him leave, looked like one. Their intentions weren't against him, of course. But he had made sure to freeze her door from the other side with an almost five-inch block of ice. She would have a naturally refreshing night while staying safe until she eventually comes to be... and either thaw the ice or jump out of the window.
As he stepped out, Nik finally saw the answer to the question— How did she even find them?
Not far from the tavern, as if sensing him even without eyes the large beast turned its head towards Nik, scaring the bystanders but it didn't move, revealing its trained nature.
"A Shirshu..." Nik muttered. Like Appa and Badger Moles, this beast was special. The creature with the star-shaped nose is said to have excellent tracking abilities but was lost in time. The beast can figure out its way to the quarry from kilometers away just by smelling the air and the ground but... even then, it was impressive that June could hunt him down. it was probably due to Toph's scent on him during their usual interactions since she was asleep in his personal world and the probability of a Shirshu smelling that was zero.
Still, they weren't about to run...
It's not like June was after them with a cold vendetta. She had already revealed her alliance was with wealth... and probably his cock than him itself... which was flattering and annoying at the same time. Shouldn't the wielder of such great power get recognition, too?!
'Ah... I should have asked that girl... Jin, to return Michi's handkerchief...' Nik thought the next second and waved at the blind shirshu just to see if it would miraculously respond before leaving the area and returning to the shop, finding Iroh sleeping with heavy snores.
