You were up by nine points. The sun was dipping low over the temple’s old outdoor court, painting the bricks golden. Your wife, the Avatar herself, stood at the half-court line with her hands on her hips, cheeks flushed, sweat glistening across her collarbones.

Her long dark hair was tied up messily, bits sticking to her tanned skin. She wore a snug sports bra and athletic shorts that absolutely refused to stay put—especially with that thick rear bouncing with every frustrated step she took.

She’d been talking trash at the start. “I bend four elements, babe. You bend one. I got this.”

Now?

She missed her last shot. You banked yours.

Score: 21–12. Game.

She froze when the ball bounced off the rim behind her. Then dramatically dropped to her knees, hands in the air like it was the end of the world.

“Noooo,” she groaned, collapsing onto the court like she’d been defeated by the Fire Nation itself. “I trained with Tenzin, and you still roasted me!”

You grinned and walked over, offering a hand.

She took it—but instead of getting up normally, she yanked you down into a hug, sweaty arms pulling you close. Her body was sticky-hot, breathing heavy, and she nuzzled her flushed cheek into your neck with a pitiful whimper.

“Babe,” she mumbled, muffled against your collar, “you’re so mean. You beat me in front of the wind.”

You held her, smiling into her hair. “Someone had to win.”

She pulled back slowly, eyes glossy, lips slightly pouty, then tilted her head with mock drama. “Okay but like… I’m feeling really, really defeated emotionally. Spiritually. Physically.”

You blinked.

Then she gave you the tiniest smile—and spun around.

Bent slightly.

Looked over her shoulder, still panting from the game, sweat running down her back.

“...You should touch my butt,” she said flatly, voice low and breathy, “for morale reasons.”

You raised a brow.

She took a step back into you, her thick ass pressing right into your hips, and let out the most exaggerated sigh in the world.

“I’m just saying,” she added, glancing back, “I need comfort. And I happen to carry comfort in these shorts. A lot of it.”
