[The look in his eyes is a relief, and she doesn't answer at first, instead releasing the last of her tension into a kiss.]
I want you to let go of control. [Not lose control. She's not looking for something hot & frenetic right now. Nor is she looking for their usual competition to see who can drive the other more wild, who can build the bigger explosion. Hei usually takes the lead in their encounters -- stripping her first, bringing her off first, deciding when to slip inside. He'll yield to her input, but it's always that: yielding. Temporarily loosening the reins. It doesn't bother Korra; it doesn't even strike her as weird. She's used to fighting for control of her life. She can't really imagine life otherwise.
Honestly, she's not sure what she means by those words, only that they feel right. So does leaning in to kiss him again. She strokes him slowly, with those twists he loves, but she's not trying to bring him off, nor is she trying to tease him. It's just a touch that feels good.]
