The moment that yours and Jake's lips connected again, all thoughts in your minds disappeared and all either of you could think about was your bodies inconceivably close to one another and your mouths going in over and over on each other's. Fire was continuing to burn inside you as Jake kept you pressed up against the tree, tilting his head against yours, deepening the kiss even more, and sending butterflies to your stomach. You couldn't get enough. Every time that he pulled away for even a second, he left you breathless, but only for him to continue to kiss you feverishly.

Your hands were all over the place. At moments, both of your hands were pressed up against his chest and the other times, they were tangled in his hair, raking your fingers through it and tugging on some strands lightly, earning a breathless groan from him. Things like that made you smile against his lips, but you were still completely unaware of what running through Jake's head. At first he had started with soft and gentle movements, but now, he was putting everything he had into kissing you, fearing that if he stopped now, he'd miss even a second to have this moment with you again.

Like you thought, you had no idea what was running through his head because suddenly, he bit and caught onto your bottom lip, making you gasp softly. He used this opportunity to slip his tongue into your mouth and tangle it with yours. The sensation was unreal and you could barely handle it, and neither could Jake. You both sighed into each other's mouths and all you could think about was him and only him. He moved one of his hand from your waist to cup your jaw, and then moving it back a bit to tangle his fingers into your silky hair. By now, you and Jake were touching in every way possible, and the desire for one another continued to grow with every passing second.

Before you knew it, Jake suddenly slipped his arm under your legs and another one to cradle your head, carrying you bridal style, and still not breaking off the kiss. You didn't protest at his actions and actually pulled yourself forward to be even closer, tilting your head at a new angle to deepen the kiss even more, making the kiss start to become even sloppier and harder.

Even with your eyes closed, you could tell that he had come to a stop and was now kneeling down with you in his arms. You both parted for for a second, leaving you both panting softly, as you both stared into each other's eyes while Jake layed you down on your back onto a soft bed of grass and moss that glowed dimly at the contact of your body against it. Jake soon maneuvered his body so he was laying on top of you, propping himself up on one forearm. He used his free hand to raise it up to your face and then tucked a stray hair behind your ear, not breaking eye contact with you for a second.

Your eyes fluttered close again when Jake leaned down and he connected his lips with yours again. You moved your hands to go around his shoulders and then land on his back, holding on as your lips moved in sync with his. You've only gotten a few intervals to breathe in between, but you didn't complain. Your mind was too clouded to think about anything else, especially since you knew where this was headed. This is what you have been thinking about and wanting for so long, that you wouldn't even dare stop him now. The fire between you two only continued to grow and now that your limbs were entangled and your bodies were touching in almost every way, you couldn't ignore the shivers that went down your spine at how he treated you as if you made out of porcelain. Fearing of breaking you.

Jake soon found other places to occupy. The moment that his lips started to slowly trail from your mouth to other parts of your body that he had yet to explore, you were too dazed but you recieved a chance to inhale deeply to get air into your lungs that you desperately needed. You panted as Jake kissed the corner of your mouth, across your jaw, your cheek, and then he eventually made his way down your neck. You held onto his shoulders and his broad back as new sensations started to grow all over your body, forcing you not able to focus on anything else other than his lips charting out places of your body you've never felt him before in. Your brain couldn't seem to focus on anything else other than that, along with your willpower that was slowly starting to diminish.

Jake took it upon himself to start to kiss his way up your neck until he reached a spot behind your ear, that when he kissed it, you couldn't help but sigh and bury your face in his neck. He was taking such good care of you that he didn't dare let you feel anything else other than contentment and enjoyment. Nothing of this would mean anything if you couldn't live this moment the you've both been dreaming about for so long. He wanted to do it right.

Soon, Jake began to take bolder steps and moved his lips down your neck, until he reached a specific spot just below your jaw, that when he suddenly bit it (slightly leaving the marks of his canines) you gasped and gripped onto him tighter. Shivers ran down your body as your back arched a bit from the ground, making Jake smirk against the skin of your neck. He couldn't help but feel pride rush through him, feeling like he'd done something right. He wanted to continue to explore more reactions from you, so he began to go into that same spot and pressed his lips against it again, and as you slightly gripped his shoulders, Jake decided to begin to suck slightly on it while letting his tongue run through his bite and let his teeth graze the area he had discovered.

"I've wanted to do this for so long," Jake whispered as he kept leaving small bites on your neck, and then letting his tongue graze them and sucking on them with care. Her skin to him was something precious and delicate, and he would treat it as such. You couldn't suppress anymore the sighs combined with gentle moans that were leaving your mouth as he started travelling south of your body. Your grip on his body instinctively tightened, feeling every single brush of his lips on her skin. "I love you so much..." Jake breathed out, almost as if he was in pain because his eyebrows were furrowed and his eyes were closed while he let his lips trail closer down to your collarbone.

As Jake began to press his lips across your collarbone and trailing featherlight touches of his tongue against your skin, his face had now lowered a bit down your body and you were no longer face to face, so this made your hands on his shoulders to move up to his hair, tugging slightly on strands as Jake took his time exploring every single bit of you. The two of you quite literally had all night, and he would not spare anything. This night belonged to the two of you. He'd make sure you didn't forget it.

It seems like Jake was really taking his time because instead of moving further down from your collarbone, he moved up again and pressed his lips against yours again, and you didn't fail to reciprocate his actions. He kissed you with slightly more force and eagerness, so you tried your best to keep up. In between kisses, you panted and breathed in as much air as you could before he connected them again, fitting his top and bottom lips perfect with yours. It was like they were made for each other and now was their moment to connect like they have been meant to be. As Jake continued to kiss you, slipping his tongue in your mouth every so often, he sighed deeply against your lips when he felt your hands move from his hair to press against his chest.

"Let me take care of you..." He murmured against your lips, and at his words, you inhaled sharply and nodded almost in a way that was unnoticeable, but he did. When he pulled away, Jake reached for one of your hands that was pressed up against his chest, and held it in front of him as he propped himself up on his forearm, but his face was still dangerously close to yours. He wanted you to see what he was about to do. He observed your hand that had 3 fingers instead of 4 like he did. He began his journey by placing a soft kiss in the palm of your hand. Your breath hitched nervously.

Soon, Jake began to place a kiss to each of your fingertips, and you smiled breathlessly at his gesture. You saw what he was trying to do. He was trying to let you know that he loved your Na'vi features, and despite how different you and him were, he loved every bit of you. You felt yourself melting every time he pressed a soft kiss to your fingers, and it made your heart flutter and burst with an indescribable feeling.

You gaped at him when Jake's lips started to travel down your wrist, giving it as much as attention as your hand, and kissing his way through your delicate wrist and your gentle skin. When making his way down your forearm, your breath hitched when Jake started to approach your upper body once again. When he was approaching your shoulder, he was met with the strap of your beautiful top. The thoughts that entered his head when he saw the beaded strap, he was forced to focus on something else. This was a process. He would get there all in due time.

Before Jake could continue, your soft and breathless voice caught his attention. He was about to continue his trail of kisses until he heard you say his name. He turned to lock gazes with you and saw that there was nothing but happiness and light in your eyes. "Jake," You muttered, and Jake nodded numbly as if in a trance, not daring to take his eyes off yours.

Jake waited for you to follow up with your words, but then, you  didn't say anything else and he saw you arch your back a bit and reached behind you, pulling your braid with you. Jake looked at you with eyes that had widened a fraction and his heart started to accelerate. This was it. You two would connect your queue's and you'd be mated for life. This is what he had been dreaming of. You and him forming a bond beyond of the one you already had. Joining souls and feeling each other's love on a different level. Jake's breath got heavier as he smiled tiredly and did not waste another moment to bring his braid over his shoulder, lovingly looking at you. He couldn't wait a second more. The way that you looked up at him with your gentle, gorgeous and big, doe eyes, he couldn't help but feel his breath hitch. You wanted this just as much as he did.

"I want this. More than anything," You whispered, and after your words, Jake wanted to seal this moment before it ended forever. He swallowed and leaned down to briefly entangle your lips with his once again. You opened your mouth a bit, giving him the opportunity to engulf you whole. Jake's eyebrows were furrowed as he kissed you, fully putting everything that he felt for you into how he was kissing you. With such intensity, passion, and longing. All the tension that you felt before just waftee up into the air and your face softened with relief as he kissed you, and you kissed him back, holding his cheek with your free hand.

The moment that Jake remembered that your braids still had yet to connect, having gotten too carried away by the kiss, he sighed against your lips and then pulled away so tenderly that you leaned your head forward a bit in hopes of catching his lips again. You both opened your eyes at the same time and then smiled at one another, turning your heads to look at your awaiting queue's to be connected, and then slowly holding up your braids, revealing the soft pink tendrils that were already inching towards each other. Your breath got caught in your throat when you suddenly felt Jake's hand on your chin, forcing you to look at him.

He inched his head down to yours, and now had his nose against yours, breathing each other in. Then, it finally happened. Without looking at the queue's, but intimately at each other, the tendrils of your braids intertwined eagerly with one another and both of you gasped softly at the same time. For Jake, his breathing became heavy, his pupils became dilated, as he shuddered and closed his eyes shut, suddenly being showered and bombarded by so much adoration and love that you've been feeling all this time for him. He started to pant a bit, and then looked down at you to see your reaction, and when he did, you stole his breath away. He never wanted to forget the sight, you were absolutely gorgeous and breathtaking.

Your lips were parted and your eyes were closed shut, breathing heavily as you used your other hand to hold onto his neck. Your chest was rising up and down, and your eyes fluttered open, displaying your dilated pupils, as you suddenly felt all the desire, longing, desperation, and intimate love that Jake felt for you and has been feeling ever since met you. You were at a complete loss for words.

You had yet to comprehend that he felt the same way you did, and you would never take that for granted. You loved him to the bottom of your heart and you always would. His feelings went much deeper than you could have ever imagined and you could finally feel it deep inside you. Then it hit you. You and Jake were mated. For life. Your souls have become. You and Jake have created an even more powerful and deep connection than the one that already existed. Your love has become so profound that right now, it felt like nothing could break it. The physical and emotional sensations that have begun to cloud your mind and Jake's was something you two could barely handle.

Suddenly, there was only lust in yours and Jake's eyes. You both equally wanted this, and neither of you wanted to stop. With care, yet subtle urgency, Jake began to pull down the strap of your top down your shoulder. Slowly and so carefully that you could melt right there on the spot. When your skin started to free itself slowly but surely, Jake pressed his lips to the revealed amount of skin that he had in front of him. He began to leave a trail on your shoulder and then began to make his way to your collarbone once again, revisiting those spots that he discovered that drove you crazy.

The moment that Jake's lips started to trail down south, you couldn't help the sighs that escaped you as your eyes fluttered shut and your body responded by slightly arching your back. Heat was pooling everywhere inside your body and you were suddenly becoming very aware of Jake's knees that had landed between your legs. It was truly becoming incessantly frustrating for you how Jake was taking his time. You had forgotten how this used to be and now, you couldn't help but let your desire start to grow every second that passed. But, you weren't opposed to what Jake did next.

Before he reached the valley between your breats, you felt him move up once again and slot his lips with yours again. It was like a pattern. The closer he got down to your most vulnerable areas that you've been inching for him to reach, he lulled you into a false sense of control and moved back up to kiss you. Ever since he kissed you for the first time, he's realized how he can't possibly get enough of it. You were like a drug to him by now and he wouldn't deny it anymore. He'd kiss you any chance he got, and tonight, was no exception.

Your lips moved in sync with his, and you've slowly started to map out his movements and be able to move with him. The kiss became more desperate and intense the moment that Jake tried to pull away, and you dug your fingers in his hair and pulled him back down, leaving it out of his control to pull away. He wasn't complaining anyway. The gentle touches that you two had started with are now turning into ones that go further than that. The current intensity that you both clearly wanted was being displayed on both sides. There was no hesitation and you were ready to move on.

Jake completely threw his initial plans out the window and just went along with what you seemed to want. He'd give you anything you want tonight, with no questions asked. As you kissed, he suddenly ran his tongue along your lower lip, making you let out a sound that could only constitute as a sigh and a moan. You couldn't get enough of him. Everything felt too good. The fact that your braids were still connected multiplied everything you and Jake were feeling a thousand times more. He caressed the skin of your body as he had one hand on your cheek and another on your waist.

When you didn't give Jake the results he was hoping for, he took matters into his own hands. While he was sliding his hand down to your ass, making you squirm, he repeated the same move once again, and you bit your bottom lip when he squeezed your ass at the same time. The action itself made you gasp and squeal, giving Jake an opening and opportunity to deepen the kiss, slip his tongue in your mouth, startling you. It was so sudden you didn't know how to react at all. It was like he snapped inside and was finally letting free everything he felt.

He smirked against your lip at the reaction he got out of you. You tugged on Jake's hair, and pulled him in even closer. The moment that Jake started to trail from your lips, leaving you panting and with your lips swollen, Jake started to leave urgent trails of kisses down your neck. You brought your head back at the sensation, given that he was giving your skin attention like he hadn't done before. This was different in an entirely new way by now.

"Do you have any idea how beautiful you are?" Jake whispered tiredly in between kisses as he went back to that same sensitive zone that he had found earlier. He continued to stay there, licking and biting the spot, and you couldn't help but squirm and grip him even tighter. Your gasps and sighs in response to his words and everything he was doing was setting alight something inside him. His own desire and desperation was growing and he realized that you were still clothed. The beautiful top and the beaded skirt that you wore had not come off, but he took it upon himself to change that.

Not wanting to make you uncomfortable and knowing that he had your consent, Jake's hand found the other strap of your top, but before he began to pull it down, he looked into your eyes for approval. He did not want you to feel like you were invaded, but know that you'd enjoy this without any tension. This was all about making you feel good, and he needed to make sure you were okay with taking the next step. When Jake looked into your eyes, indicating a silent question, you smiled softly and quickly knew what he was trying to say. You nodded and softly cupped his cheek in confirmation. You were really ready, and it was sweet that he wanted to know first if you were alright with it.

Jake helped you sit up for a second as he leaned back on his heels. He let his eagerness act for him so he hastily, yet quickly, began to remove the top, but noticing this, you put a hand on top of his and stopped him. He was confused for a second, looked at your face to see any sign of discomfort but he didn't see anything. You just had a fond smile as you chuckled. "Be careful. Ronal and Tsireya made it for me and it's really special," You said in that sweet and soft voice that he loved so dearly. Jake smiled bashfully at your words, realizing that maybe he was too eager, but he nodded either way and understood completely.

After what you'd said, Jake began to gently and tenderly remove your top and he kept in mind that this was crafted for you with love and he wouldn't want to ruin it, no matter how much he wanted to take things to the next level. He'd respect what you wanted, always. So, if this was special to you, he'd treat it with care, too. With every strap that he removed, Jake was sure to kiss every bit of skin that was slowly becoming available to him, appreciating every single bit of you that he was slowly discovering. "I'm sorry, I just can't get enough of you," Jake whispered as he continued to let his lips trail over the new areas of your body in front of him. You smiled softly at his words, feeling those butterflies swarm your stomach once again.

Little by little as he removed your clothing, Jake couldn't help but felt the air leave his lungs and his mouth went dry. Before getting it completely off, Jake leaned down and slot his lips with yours again, moving them slowly. You were propped up on one of your arms behind you while the other held Jake's jaw as you kissed him back. The kiss itself continued, and Jake blindly began to remove more of her top, and when he felt it come loose, he pulled away for a second from your lips, pulled the top over your head, put it aside gently like you wanted, and stopped for a second to look at you. Jake couldn't form any thoughts or words at all as he sucked in a silent and speechless breath.

As Jake layed you back down on your back onto the soft mossy bed of grass, he propped himself up on one of his forearms and just let his eyes take in the sight before him. Your big, doe eyes were looking up at him with such innocence and expectancy that he could hardly take it. Your dark silky hair was sprawled out all around you, making you look more ethereal than ever before. The moonlight from above and the bioluminescence of the nature around the two of you only added to your beauty. You looked unreal and so alluring in. Even if only half of your body was exposed to him right now, you looked so calm, comfortable and at ease with him, and had trust in him so that he got to see you like this when no one else has. He was completely enthralled with how beautiful and unreal you are. Your body was....just absolutely perfect, and stunning.

The way you were looking up at him with your swollen lips, heated up face, dilated pupils taking over your turquoise eyes, Jake couldn't help but lean down again and connect your lips with his. As your lips moved slowly with his and the sound of lips moving against the other was heard in the forest along with the soft chittering sounds of animals. Jake used one hand to cup your cheek and another to wrap it around your bare waist, bringing your chest to be pressed up against his as much as possible. Your lips found each other over and over, as if they were magnets refusing to separate. Your hands traveled from the spot in his arms that they were in and settled in his muscled chest, while the other settled comfortably in his hair.

Your kisses only continued to grow deeper, and you and Jake only continued to get closer until there was no space between the two of you anymore. You wanted to make him feel good, too, just as he had taken the time to do that for you. You strayed from his lips and began to kiss from the corner of his mouth, trailed around his cheek, along his jaw, and down his neck. You smiled to yourself when you heard him sigh and saw him close his eyes shut as his eyebrows furrowed the moment that you got to a specific spot on his neck. Just like he had done before to you, you began to kiss, bite and lick those places on his neck that caused him a reaction. You couldn't stopp smiling at how his breath quickened by every second that passed.

While you did that, you ran your hands up and down his chest and his abs and suddenly felt yourself blush at how chiseled, muscled amd defined he was. You really hoped that it wasn't the shadows of the night and the forest playing tricks on you, but as you continued to run your hands on his bare chest, all of your thoughts were confirmed. Every single bit of him was perfect, regardless of the battle scars he owned. You took a leap of faith in taking charge for even a little bit and pushed him back so that he sat on his heels and you sat on your shins in front of him. Jake watched and gulped as you began to trace with your finger every scar he's recieved in his battles against the Sky People. You inhaled sharply and slowly began to lean forward, beginning to place your lips on every scar that you could find, wrapping your arms around his shoulders as you did so.

When you reached his lower abdomen where his scars stopped for the moment, you halted when you saw a bulge below his loincloth. You tensed, and suddenly heard Jake chuckle. He moved his hand to be just under your chin and forced your eyes back up to look at him. He saw youe sudden change in temperament and his eyes softened. His hand moved from your cheek over to cup your cheek, and you leaned against it. You were just caught off guard, is all. You took a deep breath and smiled as Jake stroked your cheek. This was his silent way of telling you to breathe in and out, to relax and also his promise that he'd never hurt you, especially if you were beginning to feel like you didn't want this, but you did. You really did.

You nodded and assured Jake that you were okay. It's been so long since you've been this intimate with someone, and given that Jake went through the same thing, he understood that too. This would have to be a process for you both. You were mated now. Bonded. Now all that was left was to take the step that both of you have been yearning for, for so long. Jake smiled softly and continued with what he wanted to do. This time, Jake wouldn't waste any time. By instinct as he leaned in and began to plant leave trails of kisses from the groove of your collarbone, down the valleh of your chest and your breasts. You tucked your head in the crook of his neck and wrapped your arms around his neck once again, sucking in a sharp breath when Jake's lips reached your breast. His hands worked your sides, on your waist, rubbing his hands up and down whenever he sensed discomfort. Both of you were getting closer to where you both wanted to be.

Sensing that the moment that you two have been waiting for was getting closer, Jake took this opportunity to lay you back down on the ground again, crawling on top of you and tucking his face into the valley between your breasts again, kissing and getting closer to where he knew that he'd get a reaction out of you. After a few seconds of leaving small and light kisses everywhere around your chest, he decided that his hand should have an impact as well. While he kissed around the skin of one of your breasts, he used his other hand to massage the other, leaving you gasping and sighing at the sudden action. Finally, the moment that his mouth found your nipple, you whimpered and your eyebrows furrowed while your back arched off the ground at the feeling.

Jake smiled at himself at your reaction, realizing that must have done something right if he got that reaction out of your. He felt proud of himself with those small moments of gentle reassurance to know if what he's doing is alright with you. Your hands reached into his hair again for like the thousandth time, not being able to get enough of him and what he was doing at all. It was the only that kept her at bay, and her body kept squirming, just asking for Jake to move forward in what he was doing.

The more that Jake kissed around your breasts and your chest, and kept getting more and more reactions out of you, he decided to take things further. He soon began to notice that your legs had tightened around the knee that was between your legs, wanting more friction and some kind of release from everything Jake was making you feel. Jake laughed softly and soon left the spot in your breasts to start to make his way down your body, kissing through the center of your stomach, while your hands still remained in his hair as you took it all in with a grain of salt. You started to realize that the moment you and Jake have been waiting for was getting closer with each second.

Soon enough, Jake reached your hips and he began to kiss around the area of the waistline of your skirt. It was becoming increasingly harder to put up with Jake taking his time, and with every touch of his lips and his hands, Jake was starting to regret taking things slow but he held himself back. He wanted this to be special, for the both of you, and there was also still a bit more to do before the time came. Given with how long you two have been waiting for this, he wouldn't want this to be rushed. You both at least deserved that much. Something, a loving moment, that could leave you two thinking about it the morning after, and even days after.

You opened your eyes and watched carefully as Jake inched closer and closer to the waistline of your skirt, and as he kissed around it, letting you know that he loved every part of you that he discovered. When he was about to take the next step, Jake paused and looked up at you for confirmation. When you looked into his eyes, you smiled softly and when you let him know, that was all the confirmation he really needed.

Just like with your delicate top. Jake began to inch his hands to your skirts' waistband, and soon, he was tugging and pulling them down your legs with care and attention to your reactions. Like he'd done with your top, with each bit of skin of your legs that was available to him, Jake leaned down and began to kiss in between your thighs and down your legs. Your breath hitched and you moaned slightly at the feeling of his lips on your inner thighs, unable to hide how good the sensation really was. When your skirt was finally off your legs, Jake hadn't looked at you yet because he had been putting your clothes in a pile of clothes beside you two. You were so lost in what you were feeling in this moment that a certain thought had fled your mind. An important one.

After everything that's happened, this night is one where you and him didn't have to worry about anything else. Nobody intruding, no one coming in the way, nobody to have to explain anything to, and neither of you cared about anything else except for who you had in front of you. You trusted Jake with everything you had and you knew that this would be a moment that you would never forget, and you didn't want to. Jake has been treating you with so much respect and admiration that you really were ready for what was about to happen. When Jake looked up at you, with so much anticipation, which mirrored your own expression as well, it made both of you equally as eager to continue and let what was about to happen...happen. Neither of you objected.

When Jake turned back around and his eyes wandered back to woman laying on the ground in front of him, he couldn't help but inhale sharply and his breathing quickened. You were completely bare in front of him and your naked body sent a chill down his body that he could barely handle. In that moment, he couldn't think about anything else except being on top of you and being against your skin as much as he possibly could. There's nothing else he'd do, and the sight before him made that incredibly tempting in a way he couldn't explain.

Jake didn't waste a single second more before moving to be on top of you and pressing his knee between your legs, making you cry out with a sensation that has come back and forth the entire night. You gripped his arms and nuzzled your face in his neck, bracing yourself for what was about to happen. Jake moved to find that same sensitive spot on your neck that he'd discovered earlier that night, and the way that his tongue moved against your neck and the way his knee shifted between your legs, it sent you absolutely crazy. You sighed shakily, mixed with a whimper as Jake's name left youe lips breathlessly. It only made him want to continue even more. "Ma Jake..." You sighed against his skin in the heat of the moment, and he groaned tiredly at you saying his name like that. It just sounded so right coming from you.

There was only one more step before going in all the way, and Jake was aware of that. He knew he wasn't going to last much longer, and after giving you a long and slow kiss, he pulled away and sat back on his knees. He reached for the waistline of his loincloth and slowly began to pull them down, all the way off his legs. Your breath continued to quicken with anticipation with each second as more and more of him was revealed to you. When he finally got it off all the way, you two were now completely bared and there was nothing separating either of you anymore. The final obstacle was out of the way and now there was only one thing left to do.

Like y/n had said, it has been a long time, so when her eyes landed on what was revealed to her now that Jake was completely bare, her eyes widened and her breath got caught in her throat. But, even so, even more anticipation, desire and longing rushed throughout your entire body, replacing your anxiety. This was it, this was really going to happen now, wasn't it?

Jake watched your expression and how your facial expressions changed completely. He sighed and his eyes softened, so he leaned back down and hovered over you and raised a hand to cup your cheek and your jaw comfortingly. Your eyes met his, amber with turquoise, and he was quick to speak with the most loving voice you've ever heard. Even with all the adrenaline and emotion coursing through him, he was still putting your well-being first above anything else. "I'll do whatever you want me to do now. The last thing I want to do is hurt you. I love you too much for that," Jake whispered, caressing your cheek with his thumb. Your gaze softened at him and you were quick to reassure him. You wanted this, you wanted this more than anything. You were just startled.

"I want this, I do. I was just...surprised," You said with a soft laugh, and Jake's face was quick to relax as he analyzed your certainty. He smiled when he noticed how sure you were of what you were saying. He really does understand that its been a while, for both of you at that. He just didn't want to jump into something without knowing if you were really into it or if you really wanted it. Now that he knew, he wasn't going to hold back. He wants to make you feel good and everything you deserved to feel. He'd never forgive himself if he hurt you and he never knew how you felt.

When you gave Jake one more confirmation and nodded at him one more time, he smiled and lowered his lips to yours, genuinely putting as much love and care into how he kissed you. What came next wouldn't be as enjoyable as he thought, considering how long its been for both of you. But he'd take care of you. Before doing that, Jake wanted to make sure your pleasure came before him. He broke off from your lips and began to make his way down your body, kissing your neck, collarbone, between your breasts, and then he began to place open mouth kisses down your belly, and you sighed at the addicting feeling of it. The lower he got, the more you felt your heart race and the hunger you had for him increased. You weren't scared anymore. You were ready for this.

It wasn't long before he reached the place you were most vulnerable. He glanced up at you with a longing but question in his eyes. He needed to know you were comfortable. Even though you two were now mated, you felt a little nervous to be so exposed. But then you felt it again, the unconditional and burning love he felt for you. You trusted him to take care of you. Jake knew by the passionate look you gave him that he could continue.

You had your eyes closed shut and put your full trust in Jake as he neared more south of your body, and you began to wait with baited breath for the undeniable pleasure that would soon overcome you. Suddenly, a wonderful and wet pressure against your bundle of nerves below. It made you immediately reach down to grip onto Jake's hair and tugged on it. You felt it again and again and each time it made you cry out. Your moans were music to Jake's ears and he felt pride that he could make you feel this way in a way that nobody else could do except for him, and only him. He found that it slowly was his favorite thing, and continued on.

When he pulled his mouth away and crawled back up to be right on top of you, he gave you a look that said that he was about to start. You nodded wordlessly and smiled weakly, feeling as took his knee from between your legs and nudged your thighs apart gently, making as much space as possible, and before he went in. He cupped your cheek with one hand and looked deep into your eyes, lining himself up with you. Your nerves betrayed you and you felt yourself become a little anxious again. Of course, Jake took notice of it and he was quick to kiss your other cheek to reassure you.

"Y/n, we can stop here. We don't have to go all the way if you don't want to." Jake whispered, and your heart melted at how sweet he was. He was putting you before his needs and what he wanted. But, even so, you were quick to rapidly shake your head in response. Yes, you were nervous but you wanted- no needed him so badly. You've been through so much just to get to this moment and you wouldn't stop now, not when you two were so close. "It's just that I haven't- It's been so long since..." You trailed off, starting to feeling slight embarrassment but Jake understood you clearly, actually, he was the one person who understood perfectly what you meant. You two always seemed to be on the same wavelength and he was thankful for it. He placed a soft kiss to your forehead and then a slow and gentle kiss to your lips.

"I know, I haven't either. But I promise I'll be gentle and we'll go slow okay?" Jake smiled, and in reciprocation, his gentle smile prompted you to beam up at him and he returned your smile with so much love in his eyes. Once again, Jake prepared himself as he aligned your body with his. Just as he promised, he slowly started to slide himself inside you and watched you closely for any discomfort. You bit your lip at the slight sting from your body stretching itself out. You cried out and your fingernails began to dig into Jake's back, burying your face in his neck and biting down on it. You had forgotten how much this hurt.

Jake noticed your reaction, and he hadn't moved just yet, so before you gave him the go-ahead, he began to kiss every bit of skin that he had access to while you tried to adjust. Your lips, your cheeks, nose, forehead, neck, and the list went on. Your breathing was labored and small whimpers left your mouth. There wasn't much he could do but let time do its thing. But how he felt, differed a lot to you. Jake himself felt like he was in heaven. Your body felt like it was made just for him. He completely adored everything about you and with each second that passed, he fell deeper in love. Although he wanted to rock his hips, he wouldn't move until you gave him the okay to keep going.

You closed your eyes and soon enough, you felt your breathing start to slow down with only a couple mewls leaving your lips. You were still trying to cope with the burn that enveloped your core. Both you and Jake were breathing heavily as you both were now physically one. Jake placed his head in your neck and started to suck on the skin there, helping you calm down your body a bit. You felt yourself start to relax more and wrapped your legs around his waist, which Jake was able to take a sign from you that he could finally start moving.

"Move..." And Jake didn't need to be told twice. At first he pulled himself out slowly, you yelped and clutched onto him tighter. This was a lot more painful than you remembered, and soon, your hips started to rock together and the pain was slowly starting to lessen bit by bit. When, you started to use your legs to push him back in, he snapped his hips up to yours. A low grunt left Jake's throat at your actions.You let a loud cry of his name slip from your lips at his frantic movements. It was starting to feel a lot better and less painful with each movement.

Your mewls and moans started to morph into ones of pleasure and less of pain. Your hands soon had moved from his back onto his hair, and with every rock of your hips, you tugged at Jake's hair and buried your face further into his neck. One of your hands had also moved to run tha palm of your hand across his back, in the spots that you had scratched and where your nails had left noticeable marks.

After that, Jake's hands found yours and held them on either sides of your head, intertwining your fingers together as buried his face in the crook of your neck just like you had done. You gasped when you suddenly felt nibbling and biting right behind your ear, and the pain was nearly gone by now. All you felt now was an incredible sensation and you were able to be a part of this moment more now. You were able to recognize the rhythm of how your hips were moving against his own, trying to contribute making him feel good, just like he was doing for you. "I love you so much..." He panted, and you smiled tiredly, and given that your braids were still connected, he knew you felt the same way but you were unable to say anything.

Jake unlocked one hand from the ones you had entangled and reached it down between your sweaty and hot bodies, between your legs. A gasp left your lips as he rubbed that same bundle of nerves that made you lose your mind. You gasped loudly and not being able to stay in one place with Jake's weight above you, but he held you in place. Your legs tightened around his back even more and you recieved a small bite against your neck in return. As Jake made a sloppy but fast rhythm, you tried to match his pace as best as you possibly could.

You could start to feel even more heat pooling at your center as Jake picked up the pace further, more than you could ever take. You can feel something building up and it felt like a tight coil that was about to release. Your head rolled back and Jake was feeling it too, so he was quick to come to the realization of what was about to happen before you could. "Jake-" You choked out with heavy, labored and short breaths, but he was quick to cut you off with a kiss to your lips that muffled your words.

"I know, I know..." He muttered breathlessly against your lips. He knew what was about to happen, but he didn't want her to be scared, but to enjoy every minute of it. You knew you weren't going to last much longer. Jake could feel you start to clench down on him and he wanted to help you reach your high, just as he was reaching his at the same time.

You were unable to form any sort of words as your eyes stayed closed shut, and all you could do was dig your nails again into his back, only encouraging him more. Jake moved even faster and suddenly, it was all too much. Jake's thrusting, him kissing your neck and his hand pressed against you. Everything came crashing down as you arched your back from the ground, and with a particular thrust, the coil inside you snapped and a loud moan escaped you. Your thighs violently shook as wave after wave of pure pleasure washed over you and you felt Jake suddenly fill up your insides.

After reaching your own peak, it only took a couple more seconds for Jake to reach his as a low groan told you that he had reached his end and he collapsed on top of you, leaving only hard and labored breaths to fill the air of the forest. Jake moved a bit so he wouldn't crush you, but then he turned to look at you and your eyes fluttered open, staying half lidded with how exhausted you were. He smiled softly when he noticed the look of contentment on your face, and he hoped you had enjoyed yourself just as much as he had.

Jake propped himself up on his forearm and used his free hand to cup your cheek, turning you to face him completely. When you noticed him smiling, it made you beam at him in return. He couldn't help but lean down again and connect your lips with his in a tired and loving kiss. It lasted for a couple seconds, but after you two got carried away and began to deepen it, he pulled away from you but still stayed centimeters away from your face. You both needed air and needed to recover a bit.

When Jake had gained enough strength and could breath properly again, he pulled out of you gently and began to shift, moving himself to lay on his side and then grabbing your waist to pull you to be right in front of him with his chest pressed up against yours. You sighed and your hands pressed against his chest, taking in his warmth in the cold of the night. His skin gave off so much comforting heat that you never wanted to move away from there. There has not been a moment in your lif where you felt so safe than you did in that very moment.

There was only silence for some time as you and Jake lay on the ground together, lulling yourselves to sleep with the comforting sounds of the forest that Jake once knew. You spent some time giving each other soft kisses, smiles, loving touches and, you were finally at ease. Your braids had yet to disconnect, but you and Jake did not plan on taking them apart any time soon. You both wanted to take in this moment and revel in each other's presence.

Jake breathed deeply as he had his arms wrapped around your waist, setting his chin on top of your head while you snuggled further into his body. He knew you were very close to falling asleep, and he didn't doubt for a second that he was too, but there was still so much he had to say. "Life is precious, y/n. You know that, right?" Jake muttered, and while you didn't respond, by the way you tucked your head into his neck indicated that you were listening so he decided to continue on.

"So, while we have the chance..." He said, trailing off. Not letting his mind think about Quaritch hunting his family down cruelly. He would not let that man or other Sky People take away anyone else that was special to him. He wanted to take these moments with you and take advantage of every single one. Because as much as he hated it, he wasn't clairvoyant. He could lose you tomorrow easily. So, right now, he just wanted to stay by your side and not leave you for even a second. You don't know what you have until it's gone, right? "Let's love each other with no regrets," Jake muttered out, as painful as it was to admit, knowing that everything could turn to hell tomorrow and there was nothing he could possibly do.

At his words, you began to groan softly while still being half-asleep, snuggling further into him and wanting more warmth. Jake chuckled and abided to what you wanted, wrapping his arms around your waist even tighter, creating some sort of cocoon for you. As you found a comfortable spot in his arms, he let his head turn to look down at you for a moment. It looked like you were about to be fully asleep, but Jake couldn't help but gaze at you with such admiration, knowing that he couldn't believe that this night had actually happened. As you felt yourself drift away into sleep, with your legs and other limbs tangled together with Jake's, you had yet to notice how he continued to look at you. Observing every part of you that he already can't possibly get enough of.

His eyes traveled from your forehead, down to your softly closed eyelids and and then your lips that were slightly pouted in your sleep. He laughed softly to himself. You were too much for him. How did he manage to find someone so incredible? You came into his life like a beacon of hope that he desperately needed. He was grateful for you every day and would continue to be until the day he dies. You had so much to give and Jake would always be there to recieve it. He loved you with everything that he has. He would also protect you with all that he has. He's never going to let you go.

While Jake continued to gaze at you, running his hands through your silky dark hair while also tucking stray strands behind your ears tenderly, he suddenly felt and heard you shift in your sleep. Instinctively, Jake moved his position and gently maneuvered his arm so that you could accommodate yourself and used it as a pillow. He cradled your head with his free hand, bringing you in closer to him, burying his nose into your hair as you reveled in his warmth and his comforting heat. Jake pressed a kiss at the top of your head and let his chin rest on top of it, sighing deeply.

As Jake began to play with a few strands of your hair and pulling them away from your face, you moved your head back a bit while still using his arm as a pillow, and looked up at him with tired eyes, yet completely engaged in what he looked like he was about to say. Your pupils followed each other's eyes even in the dark of the night, and before Jake could say anything, you began to speak. "Remember what you told me a while ago?" You spoke sleepily, not taking your eyes off of him as he ran his fingertips against your neck, brushing away your hair.

"You said...you don't have to suffer. Not anymore," You mumbled sleepily, smiling to yourself at the memory. Jake's mind soon clicked and he remembered it too. He truly had meant what he said. The moment he met you, he wanted to make sure that you didn't have to suffer any longer, or go through pain and agony, because he knows all to well what it's like. He loves you too much to let you go through that and your existence has made him realize that he has continue fighting for that. "Well, you...lead this world that we live in...yeah, the whole world," You smiled tiredly to yourself as you paused. Jake was incredibly invested in what you had to say, still.

"...to a way better place," You said, looking up at him and watching as his eyes widened a fraction and he knew exactly what you meant. You've never seen him as the leader who brought clans to victory, but just Jake. Only Jake. Yet, you somehow felt this pride for all that he's done as a warrior for the Na'vi and how he's brought The People together in total harmony as they should have been ages ago.

Toruk Makto or not, you were incredibly proud of him and you'd continue to be until the day you give your last breath, never doubting him for a second. You hoped he knew that. "That's who you are, so..." You trailed off, cutting yourself off by a soft yawn, but, completely unaware of how happy your words made Jake.
"Please, don't pile up all that pain. I'll be there to shoulder it all...with you. Cheer up," You whispered, and Jake looked at you with an unreadable expression. Everything you just said has opened doors in his mind that he thought he had closed forever, but now, all he can think about is how he loves you even more. He looked so deeply into your eyes as you spoke that he felt himself falling in love with you all over again. Eywa, please don't take her away, not her. He thought to himself.

He was silent for a few more moments until he finally mustered up the courage to speak up, just like you had. When he did, he said; "I love you," Jake whispered, watching as your eyes began to flutter closed and sleep began to overtake you, but he hoped you were listening to what he was saying. "I love you in every possible way..." He muttered, raising his hand and raking his hand through your hair again, and then pressing a soft kiss on your forehead.

Just when he thought that you had fallen asleep after not responding for a couple seconds, your voice suddenly came in softly and he smiled. "I love you, too..." You said softly, almost inaudibly, but Jake heard you. You didn't want to go to sleep without at least reciprocating his words. This was everything you've ever dreamed of and as you looked up at Jake, you chuckled softly and smiled. It was time to go to sleep. He looked down at you and smiled before chuckling and cradling your head once again, bringing you closer to him as he set his head above yours. You both settled together and tangled your limbs a bit further, looking for the warmth that faded amongst the cold night in the forest behind Awa'atlu.
