"Obi-Wan, no one is going to believe that we're lovers!"

The apprentice paused a moment in the act of hanging up a spare tunic in the passenger ship's wardrobe.

"Well, I should think not. Not when you can't even say it properly, Master."

"Say what Obi-Wan? Lovers?"

Obi-Wan turned to look at his Master sprawled in the tiny cabin's only seat, an oversized chair that was most likely intended for normal sized travelers to use as a small couch. It was just big enough for the large man to spread himself out for once and get comfortable.

"No...not the word lovers, it's 'Obi-Wan', you can't even say my name properly."

Qui-Gon looked at his student with a frankly puzzled expression. "I've been calling you by that name for eight years now Padawan, this is the first time you've told me I've been pronouncing it incorrectly."

"Not incorrectly Master, just not the way a lover would say it, that's all I meant."

"Obi-Wan..."

"See! That is the voice of a teacher. That is how I would expect my name to sound on the lips of someone who was going to quiz me on economics or diplomacy. That is not the way a lover would say my name."

Qui-Gon's eyes narrowed as he regarded his young student. "Will you remind me how we got started on this subject?" he asked, sounding just a little exasperated. Taking a moment to remove his hair tie, he had been getting ready to sleep when this bizarre conversation started.

Obi-Wan resumed unpacking while he answered. "I just thought it would be a good cover story for this mission. Actually it was Master Windu's suggestion." Obi-Wan flashed his Master a quick grin over his shoulder. "We are going into hostile territory for this mission. If we only had one set of quarters it will be easier to protect ourselves and the package we're going to be retrieving. Saying we're lovers will prevent anyone questioning why we only want one room." Obi-Wan finished unpacking and turned to wink at his Master.

Qui-Gon lifted one eyebrow at the younger man.

"It doesn't matter. All the reasons why it's a good idea won't help us Master, since you can't even get the name part right. It's probably better just to drop the whole idea."

Qui-Gon took a deep breath, running his fingers through his loose hair. "All right, how would I say your name if we were lovers? If we were going to use Mace's suggestion, which right now I'm having doubts about. How would you suggest I sound?"

Obi-Wan turned to lounge negligently against the slightly curved bulkhead. One shoulder down as he regarded his Master. His lean, graceful body relaxed and still. He was clad only in loose pants and an old worn tunic that had been pulled open during the course of the evening showing a glimpse of smooth skin above his trim waist. His hair was tousled and he looked as though he was someone who'd just woken up from a long sleep, as opposed to someone who was just getting ready to go to bed.

"I can't explain it to you Master. You have a wonderful voice, you've used it to calm angry politicians and rally people to causes in a variety of situations, surely you've had lovers...how did you sound when you said their names?"

"Padawan..." Qui-Gon growled in exasperation.

"Master, let go, trust your instincts, follow your feelings. Isn't that what you're always telling me? You have an imagination, use it! Imagine me as your lover. Imagine coming home to our quarters after a mission away from me for weeks. We haven't made love in all that time, and you are aching to hold and touch me. You are desperate to run your hands over me and claim me with your body. You want nothing more to taste my essence, to make me yours again after so long. What would you say to me when you got home? How do you think you would sound?" Obi-Wan's voice had dropped sensuously low as he painted the mental picture for his Master.

Qui-Gon got flashes of himself returning from a mission striding into their shared quarters and simply lifting his Padawan over his shoulders and stalking into his sleepchamber. Literally tossing the younger man onto the bed before moving to cover the lithe form with his own and plundering the mouth below him. His breathing sped up slightly and he found himself growing aroused by the image.

"Padawan, don't tease..."

Obi-Wan's breath hitched at the sound of his Master's voice. Yes...that is more like a lover would sound. He looked over and noted his Master's darkened eyes, eyes that were avidly watching every move he made. Obi-Wan suddenly found the tiny cabin quite warm and he shifted a little against the wall as he felt his body tighten with a surge of lust.

"Very good Master, but I don't think calling me Padawan is very lover like. Where we are going someone might know it's true meaning." Obi-Wan looked deep into his Master's eyes, daring him to take up the challenge held within their ever changing depths. "Now try it again, but say 'Obi-Wan'. Come on Qui-Gon, I know you can do it, say it like a lover would."

Qui-Gon wondered how far his apprentice was willing to take the teasing. Did he understand what he was asking, or was this really just about preparations for a mission? Qui-Gon sat there considering for a moment before deciding to test Obi-Wan's resolve.

Slowly unfolding himself from the chair he stood a moment just gazing at his apprentice. With sure, deliberate steps Qui-Gon brought himself across the room to stand before his apprentice. He put one hand against the wall and the other on the back of Obi-Wan's neck, his thumb resting against the strong muscles of his neck. Qui-Gon could feel the pulse of his Padawan's heart beating strongly under his hand and felt it jump when he slowly leaned over the smaller man. Crowding him slightly against the cool bulkhead, Qui-Gon leaned in even farther to let his breath ghost over Obi-Wan's face as he brought his lips so close to Obi-Wan's that Obi-Wan was sure he could feel the warmth from his Master's lips on his own. Qui-Gon was close enough that Obi-Wan could feel the soft fabric from his Master's tunic rubbing slightly against his bared chest. They stood there warm breath mingling, Obi-Wan adrift in the sensation of being so close to his Master and yet not touching him. The only physical contact was the warm strong hand cradling his neck, and the thumb pressed against his pulse.

At last Qui-Gon lifted his head so he could look at his apprentice, smiling slightly at the picture Obi-Wan made. Face flushed, his eyes had darkened with desire and were staring almost sightless into his own. Obi-Wan's tongue came out to wet his lips reflexively and Qui-Gon found himself staring hungrily at the movement, wanting nothing more at that moment than to replace Obi-Wan's tongue with his own.

Qui-Gon, attempting to shake himself from the spell he was rapidly falling under, leaned down again to let his lips slightly brush against Obi-Wan's right ear. His lips lightly touching the braid hanging there, as he tenderly whispered, "Obi-Wan." Qui-Gon lingered for a moment longer, drinking in the sweet scent of his Padawan before he abruptly straightened and stepped back. He turned quickly away and walked back across the small space in the cabin to resume his sprawl in the large chair. He grimaced slightly when he found he had to adjust himself in his pants, his long legs spread a little wider than normal to accommodate the hard length nestled between them.

"Well?" He asked softly.

"What?" Was the dazed reply.

"Was that more of what you had in mind Obi-Wan? Did I sound like a lover?"

Qui-Gon allowed himself to feel just a tiny bit smug when he saw how his normally self contained Padawan was reacting to what had happened. Or rather what had not happened. Still, he reasoned, if they were going to take the path he felt sure they would be soon heading down, he wanted Obi-Wan to take the first real step. So he was content to await Obi-Wan's next move.

Obi-Wan was stunned that something so innocent could stir his mind and excite his body so completely. He was awash in the sensation when he realized that he'd been asked a question. Casting about for a moment he was able to gather his wits together and answer.

"Well...that's close to what I had in mind Qui-Gon."

"Close?" Qui-Gon's voice still very low in the small room.

Obi-Wan shook himself out of his daze and focused on the man sitting across the room. As a Jedi trained in the use of observation as much as use of the Force, he was able to take in his Master's physical condition at a glance. He noticed also that Qui-Gon seemed prepared to ignore the wants of his body indefinitely if his desire was not in accordance with his Padawan's wishes. He also saw a challenge that rivaled Obi-Wan's earlier one, sparkling in his Master's dark blue eyes.

Obi-Wan stood there leaning against the bulkhead for support, for what seemed liked forever before he came to a decision. He straightened and with unconscious grace slowly removed his arms from the sleeves of his tunic. With a shrug he let it drop onto the floor. He then took a deep breath and moved leisurely toward the chair. Obi-Wan stopped inches in front of Qui-Gon, standing quiescent between his Masters outstretched legs, no other movement than the rise and fall of his chest.

If you had asked Qui-Gon to describe the young man standing like a marble statue in front of him he might have used the word 'breathtaking', that is assuming that he would be able to formulate words at all. Obi-Wan's skin gave off a warm glow as the low lights of the cabin shown on his naked torso. Qui-Gon stared rapt at the beautiful creature before him, drinking in the sight of his handsome features. Obi-Wan's sleeping trousers were thin and faintly nubby due to repeated wash and wear cycles. They hung low on his hips, encouraging Qui-Gon's eyes to follow the waist band down where it dipped low in the front. His eyes were drawn to the sight of those first few dark curly hairs that started on his lower abdomen. Qui-Gon felt his mouth go dry with desire.

He looked up and caught Obi-Wan's eyes as they followed the movement of his Master's throat as he swallowed. The younger man looked down at his Master with a yearning hunger in his eyes.

"Close...?"

He watched Obi-Wan nod once, never breaking the eye contact between them.

"Yes Master, very close. You almost sounded like a lover then, but I think we can do better, don't you? Why don't you do me a favor and lean back just a little."

Qui-Gon leaned back in the oversized chair and placed his hands on the armrests. Obi-Wan took the opportunity to straddle his Master's legs and gently lower himself into Qui-Gon's lap. Qui-Gon closed his eyes at the sensation of heat and weight descending on his body. Obi-Wan levered himself up and while Qui-Gon's eyes were still closed he carded his hands deep in his Master's hair. He ran his fingers through the silky lengths and grasped his head in strong hands.

Now it was Qui-Gon's turn to have his eyes lose focus as he opened them to find his Padawan brushing feather light kisses across his face. Obi-Wan brushed his lips over his Master's strong brow, delicate eyelids, he even took a minute to kiss his Master's slightly crooked nose. Qui-Gon remained with his hands on the arms of the chair not moving until Obi-Wan finally kissed the one area of his face that he most wanted to be kissed.

At the touch on his lips Qui-gon's hands moved to Obi-Wan's shoulders, holding lightly, caressing the warm smooth skin under his hands. Obi-wan slowly brushed his lips against his Master's, kiss after kiss, each one so delicate it was barely there. Loathe to break the sensuous spell his Padawan was weaving, Qui-Gon moved his hands to Obi-Wan's waist and pressed just a little, trying to say without words that he wanted more. Obi-Wan moved just a little closer to his Master's chest and allowed his lips to press more fully, slowly opening them up to kiss more deeply. Qui-Gon eagerly opened his mouth, his hands moving from Obi-wan's waist to twine about his body bringing their bodies into stronger contact. Obi-Wan lightly stroked the lips beneath him with just the tip of his tongue, teasing his Master. Qui-Gon heard himself whimper when he finally felt Obi-wan's tongue fully enter his mouth. He drew the younger man even more intimately against him as he deepened the kiss, his beard softly scraping the cheeks of the younger man, erections pressing together. Lips and tongues battled each other in a fiery embrace. He let his hands drift to the waistband of Obi-Wan's pants and traced the warm skin just above it. As the kisses grew rougher and hotter Qui-Gon plunged past the waist band, spanning his large hands around his Padawan's firm buttocks, squeezing gently.

Obi-Wan broke the kiss with an impassioned moan and arched back into the caress. His hands were still tangled in Qui-Gon's hair, and as he looked down to see his Master's flushed face he tighten his hands in the soft mass and drew his Master's head up. Obi-Wan leaned back and guided the older man's face to his chest, placing his Master's mouth over his left nipple. Obi-Wan could feel himself tighten and swell in reaction to Qui-Gon's breath moving across his chest.

Obi-Wan twisted his hands in his Master's hair, bent his head and said. "Suck, Qui-Gon." Both men groaned aloud when Qui-Gon latched onto the dusky nipple and began suckling gently, taking a moment here and there to scrape it lightly with his teeth. "Oh, yes." Obi-Wan panted, "Don't forget the other one." Using hands fisted within his Master's hair Obi-Wan guided him from one aching nipple to the other, back and forth, over and over.

Qui-Gon shifted his hands to the front of Obi-Wan's stomach and stroked the lightly defined muscles down under the waist band, running long fingers through the dark hairs had been so fascinating earlier. Long fingers traveling steadily downward taking his apprentice's hardness into his large warm hands. When he felt the shock of Qui-Gon's hands Obi-Wan abruptly released his Master's hair and leaned back breaking his hold.

"No." He said softly, "I want you to watch." With that Obi-Wan leaned back further so his Master could see better and deftly untied the drawstring of his pants, dropping them away from his lap. Obi-Wan extended his right hand to his Master and placing it against his mouth said, "Lick, Qui-Gon." Obi-Wan let out a hiss of breath when he felt his Master lash his hot moist tongue over the palm, making him even harder and more excited than he'd been only minutes before. When his hand was wet enough he took it away from Qui-Gon and placed it lightly over his aching erection. Looking deeply into his Master's eyes he slowly stroked upwards over the shaft, taking a moment to swirl his thumb over the weeping head before making the trip down.

"Watch me." He whispered as his hands tighten against his cock, his body glowing with a sheen perspiration. His arm and stomach muscles taught as he pleasured himself under his Master's intensely passionate gaze.

Qui-Gon was wracked by indecision. On the one hand he wanted nothing more than to sit back and watch the erotic show that his Padawan was staging for his benefit. On the other hand he wanted to be a part of the production and his hands itched to enter into the fray. Qui-Gon, opting for compromise, spread his hands wide and lightly stroked them over every inch of his apprentice that he could reach. When his hands reached Obi-Wan's buttocks he heard him gasp out loud so he allowed his fingers to linger in the area, hoping to wring more sounds from the writhing young man.

Obi-Wan's movements became quicker and more frantic, his moans louder and sharper. Qui-Gon settled his hands firmly on the back of his apprentice's thighs and scraped his nails lightly over the sensitive skin there. It was unexpectedly too much for Obi-Wan. Qui-Gon watched in awe as Obi-Wan arched back, fisting his swollen member and convulsing, coming hard in his arms, spilling his release between them.

Obi-Wan collapsed in his Master's strong embrace and they sat there, panting, deep gasping breaths. They both knew that eventually they would have to speak but for the moment each was content to recover and wait before possibly spoiling the moment between them. Obi-Wan roused himself from his post coital stupor and sat back again in the chair, facing his Master.

"Obi-Wan..." Qui-Gon began, only to stop upon seeing the expression that transformed Obi-Wan's face.

Obi-Wan was smiling. His face was bright, as if lit from within. "You see Qui-Gon, I knew you could do it. Now you are sounding more like a lover. Say it like that again."

Qui-Gon felt his face mirror his Padawan's smile. "Obi-Wan..." He murmured low in his chest.

Obi-Wan's eyes darkened and he leaned forward to brush his lips against his Master's ear, darting his tongue out to taste him as he whispered, "Again."

"Obi-Wan..."

Obi-Wan brushed his hands down his Master's chest gathering traces of his own orgasm along the way. He placed his hands on his Master's stomach and leaning down whispered, "Say it again, Qui-Gon."

Qui-Gon let his head drift back against the back of the chair and as he felt the fastening to his trousers being opened and the cooler air of the chamber hitting his overheated flesh he moaned "Obi-Wan..."

Hands slick with his own semen, Obi-Wan grasped his prize and stroked hard once. He leaned over and brushed his lips over Qui-Gon's neck. "Again...Say it again, Qui-Gon."

Qui-Gon moved his head to one side and clenching his hands, still holding onto Obi-Wan's buttocks, thrust himself up into the tight grip of his Padawan's hands. "Obi-Wan..." he gasped.

Obi-Wan latched onto the side of Qui-Gon's neck with his mouth and sucked hard enough to raise a small welt.

"Obi-Wan...!"

Qui-Gon pushed up hard, straining against Obi-Wan. Holding on so tightly that he feared there would be some bruising the next day. Obi-Wan began whispering a heated litany against his Master's skin, pausing every so often to nip and suck the tender flesh between his neck and shoulder.

"Yes, that's it...talk to me in that beautiful voice. Come on! Talk to me like a lover would, let me hear your pleasure. Do it Qui-Gon. Ohhh, you feel so good like this. I love it when you sound like that, because I make you feel this way, I want you to be like this always..."

Qui-Gon felt his body tighten as he hurdled toward orgasm, every word uttered sending a pulsing shock of pure pleasure straight to his aching groin. The feeling of strong hands pulling and stroking him combined with the erotic pictures his Padawan was painting with words conspired to push him right over the edge. Qui-Gon tried to comply with his lover's desire to hear him speak but it was all he could do to moan and gasp Obi-Wan's name over and over again. Crying out he came, shuddering and shaking, Obi-Wan holding him tight.

They remained as they were, touching and crooning soft words of comfort to each other until at last, the slow dawning discomfort of their position forced them apart. Obi-Wan gently removed his Master's tunic and proceeded to clean them both up as best he could. They went to bed, by unspoken agreement, together. Obi-Wan lay curled against his Master's broad chest.

Just before he felt his Padawan drift fully into sleep Qui-Gon couldn't resist teasing him just a bit. "So Padawan, do you think I finally got it right that last time?...Hummm...? Padawan?"

"Almost, Master." Obi-Wan smiled against the warm skin under his lips.

"Almost?"

"Yes, almost." Obi-Wan lifted his head and flashed his Master a heart stopping smile. "Well just have to keep practicing until you've gotten it right."

"Ahhh..." Qui-Gon's lips quirked up. "Practice...I see. Well Padawan, I look forward to continuing my education then." He pressed a small kiss on the top of his head. "Good night my Obi-Wan."

"Good night...lover."

The end
