Summary: Obi-Wan's Jedi patience fails when he sees his Master meditating in the nude.

Archiving: M_A, GiffStein, anyone else ask (I'm likely to say yes)

Notes: I blame Black Rose. Really I do; it's all her fault. So, like, I'm getting out of bed, sorta sleepily downloading my mail, and then, whamo! Qui- Gon meditating in the buff. See what I mean at: http://digitalmidnight.simplenet.com/gallery/fan/meditation.jpg Does that deserve a PWP or what? So this is for you, Rose, in thanks for the many lovely pics. Also this was a true quickie; no beta at all,so please forgive any mistakes in the grammar/punctuation department. Now if y'all will excuse me, I have to go take a cold shower.



My Master doesn't often meditate in the nude. Which is a good thing, really, because he usually chooses one of the many Temple Gardens designed for meditation. I can just imagine how many other Jedi would find it hard to meditate in the presence of a naked Qui-Gon Jinn. Not to mention the younger Padawans who might be a little . . . let's just say intimidated by the sight of my Master without his robes.

I tell myself I'm used to the sight of him naked, and in one way, it's true. He doesn't intimidate me; I've grown up knowing what he looks like in all manner of clothing or none at all. I went through one awkward period of feeling certain I'd never develop muscles like his or the physique to carry them off, but he solved that by explaining to me that my strength would be more compact. It might not have been enough for a nervous 14-year-old, if he hadn't also shown me a flatpic of himself in running shorts and a singlet, all gangly knees and elbows. I'd laughed in spite of myself trying to reconcile the gawky young Padawan with my strong powerful Master.

In another way, I'm not used to seeing him naked. Not at all. He probably thinks I'm a prude, the way my shield slam up the minute I see him without clothing. Far better he think that than guess the real truth.

I am far from a prude. If he knew how much I know about what goes on between men who love each other, and how much I've practiced what I know, he'd probably be shocked. But I'm driven to learn as much as I can, wherever I can. In the palaces, temples and cities our travels take us to, a young man can find what he's searching for . . . up to a point. But he can't find love, not when his love already lies locked inside his heart waiting for the one man who holds the key.

So instead, I seek knowledge of the art of love. I've probably learned enough to qualify for a mid level courtesan's license, which might make a lovely career choice if I don't pass my Trials. Or even if I do pass my Trials and he rejects what I intend to offer him, Knight to Knight. Not really, of course, even if I can't ever be his lover, I'll remain true to everything he's taught me. In love or out of it, I am still a Jedi. And I use all I've learned as a Jedi to quell my heart's ache.

"Patience, Padawan," has become my watchword to myself. On all those missions with cramped quarters when I could make a move, I keep my true thoughts buried and tell myself, imitating his voice, "patience, Obi-Wan." I meditate on passionless serenity. Frequently. It helps for a time.

It's helped this morning, after waking from a dream that left me reaching for my mouth, hoping to find it swollen from hard kisses delivered in between protestations of love. No such luck and I knelt on the hard floor of my room and meditated yet again. After, calm once more, I rose, pulled on leggings and wandered into the common area in search of breakfast.

Only to find my Master, completely naked, kneeling on a meditation mat.

He is perfection, and I lost everything I'd gained by my own meditations, and simply stared. How much would it hurt, I told myself, if I looked at him just this once? And so I did. I looked at that frost touched dark hair that I want to bury my hands or my face in, the face I wanted to cover with kisses, those lips I wanted to bite and suck on. I looked at the beard I want to feel against my skin, the neck I want to leave marks on, proving my loving claim on him.

My gaze kept moving, taking in the muscles I wanted to trace with my tongue, the nipples I wanted to tease and lick and bite until they stood erect and greedy for more. Now more muscles, the flat smooth plane of his stomach narrowing down to the hips I wanted to clutch and claw at, the lean sweep of his flanks that I want to caress and mold with my hands, imagining that I'm a sculptor creating the finest work the galaxy has ever seen. I stared at his strong legs, legs I wanted to feel wrapped around me as I sunk slowly into his body, my hands tight on his perfect ass.

And then I stopped teasing myself and stared at his cock, hidden as it was between his legs and under his foreskin. I wanted to know what it looked like erect and proud. Erect because he wanted me, my mouth, my hands, my ass . . . my love, not just the love a Padawan has for his Master, but the love of one man for another.

And then it happened. As I stared, his cock stirred, ever so slightly at first, just the faintest twitches. And then more, until it was rising from between his legs to finally rest, trembling, against his belly. Sure I was still in bed dreaming, I blinked furiously, but the view before me remained the same. He remained in meditation pose with no indication that he was even aware of his body at all.

Well, if he wasn't, I was, and all those repetitions of "patience Padawan," vanished from my head. I dropped to my knees and, very quietly, like a larcat stalking his prey, crawled forward until I was right before him. I could smell him, faint traces of soap from that morning's shower, and the stronger scent of himself, musk and spice and something that was uniquely Qui-Gon.

I bent my head slightly, and slid my tongue, once, across the head of his cock. Salt and bittersweet and I knew I had to have more of him, all of him. My tongue slowly traced every fold of skin, every vein, as I worked my way to the base and then back up again. He made no noise, gave no indication that he was aware of my attention and I didn't care. Opening my mouth wide, I slid it down over him in one swift movement, at the same time reaching up to caress that warm sac of skin beneath my chin. And then I did it again and again, plunging my mouth over his cock with all the finesse dozens of encounters had given me.

I could feel him tightening towards orgasm, but realized that this wasn't enough. If I was going to have the man I loved, I was going have as much as I could of him, considering this might be my only chance. Making sure to leave his cock as wet as possible on my final movements, I forced myself to release him from my mouth, while my hands fumbled my leggings out of the way.

Without thinking too much about the possible discomfort, I quickly moved to straddle him, and, with one quick movement, I took him inside me. It hurt, or course, and I bit my lip hard enough to draw blood, and rested a minute while my body became accustomed to the girth of my Master's cock.

Just the thought of who he was and what was inside me, and the pain was melting away, leaving nothing but need. Heedless of what I was doing, I grabbed his shoulders, found my balance and began to move myself over him, driving his cock into me with slow hard strokes. It felt good . . . what a silly word, hot showers feel good. This felt like nothing I'd ever felt before, it was heat and an invasion I welcomed and it was almost ecstasy.

Almost . . . But he didn't even know I was there, did he? I spite of my determination to remain silent, a gasp escaped my lips.

"Love you," I breathed, leaning in towards his ear. "Love you, Qui-Gon."

A pair of large hands suddenly gripped my hips, steadying me, helping me move into a faster pace. A mouth moved forward to bite at my neck, causing me to cry out happily.

"Obi-Wan," he moaned, when his teeth finally left my neck. "Oh Force, I've waited so long for you, love."

I wanted to question his words, but both of us had increased the rhythm of our coupling to the point of no return. I could no longer tell if I was riding him or being ridden by him and a harsh scream tore out of my throat as my whole body tightened in his arms. He was just as tense and for one timeless moment, his cock buried to the root inside me, we were still, our bodies straining to hold off the inevitable. We failed of course, and screaming each other's name, we came, neither of us knowing, or caring, who came first.

It was some time later, as we lay in a tangle of limbs held together by sweat and semen, that I felt his chest vibrate and heard the chuckle.

"Master?" The title came automatically, but he didn't seem to mind.

"If I'd bothered to do my laundry," he said dryly, "I'd have been wearing leggings at least."

"Ah," I replied, trying to match his tone of voice. "And no doubt, you'd have meditated on something less . . . rousing."

He laughed, a full out laugh, and rolled until I lay on top of him. "No," he replied, "I get like that every time I meditate on the subject of my Padawan."

And then I was silencing him with the hungry kisses I'd dreamed of, and he was returning them with equal need and it was better for my soul than all the meditation in the world.
