Stolen Kisses

A quiet night in the rain.



I lay alongside you, feeling your warmth. The rain patters against the window, a symphony of soothing sound. I glance out, watching the clear droplets race down the glass. Lightning flashes outside, casting us in wild light and shadow. I stroke your face as you sleep. So beautiful. Your skin, your scent. I love it all. The taste of your lips, sweeter even than the first time when we touched. Wild loving has us weak and weary. We simply must bond. I will accept no less.

But I understand the danger involved. Even here, in the privacy of our own apartments, we take a terrible risk. At the height of passion our shields are weakest. But I care nothing of their discovery, for I love you.

Perhaps I am mad. Knighthood is but a whisper away, yet when I look in your eyes I see myself. You speak of loving in secret, meeting in the quiet. We kiss again, and I melt at your voice. Like velvet, it sings through my soul. And I am lost.

You are strong yet gentle. A tower of a man, with pan sized hands of crushing strength. Yet you hold me in your arms like a newborne babe. Your face is handsome, like that of royalty. And that body. Ghods! Damp from our lust, the muscled bulk shines in the dim light. I could spend a lifetime tasting and teasing you.

We play with fire and love it. I should turn away now before all is lost. But it is already too late. For once tasted, the forbidden fruit is ever more sweet.

Beautiful eyes open, blue crystals in the night. You look askance. Unecessary, for I have no regrets. I am yours.

You sweep me into thick arms and crush my lips. I scent your skin and hair, hot musk and spice. Your body is hard against mine and I feel your need, for the fire burns me as well. We lose ourselves again as always, crying in the night and screaming our passion. All rules and constraints are broken now.

We lie still again, limp and exhausted. Soft pants in the dark. I stroke your beard once more, noting the outline against the strong jaw. You taunt my nipples with tongue. I love every minute of it.

We sought secrecy in the training gym after hours. It was there that we were discovered. Mace Windu walked in on us, enraged. Two titans nearly came to blows.

We accept whatever happens now. In a way, I am relieved. Love should never be held but embraced with joy. We will likely be expelled, but I care not. We will bond in peace, in our own time.

It is nearly dawn now. The Council session is today. I do not fear their decision, for our love will endure. Again you look at me, deep eyes clouded in uncertainty. We clasp hands in understanding.

Whatever the price, we will pay it.



THE END

I was feeling kinda mushy...
