Summary: Don't let the "Non Q/O" chase you off; this is definitely a Qui/Obi-themed story. I'm trying to work up to the real thing--I love these guys!

If you have to be a prostitute, Alderaan is as good a place as any; better, in fact, than most. I'm quite fortunate. There are very stringent laws regulating our trade and our protection--in fact, we're even considered something of a social service, which is not all that surprising if you think about it. Pensions, retirement communities (one of the funnier sights of Alderaan--"the old gigolo's home"), and everything.

So I don't have much to be afraid of. Starvation will certainly never be an issue for me. I'm quite the attractive young man, or so I've been told many times, and I work for one of the most reputable houses. My skills are manifold and I'm quite frequently in demand. It's considered something of a symbol of prestige if a customer can afford to lay me.

On that note I was really surprised tonight. My last customer was dressed, well, not like a beggar exactly, but more like one of the lower tradesmen. Certainly not like someone who can afford to frequent this sector of the capital. A humble brown cloak, sandy-colored tunics, well-worn boots.

But if you put that aside, by the gods, the man was beautiful. Huge. Not pretty, but leonine; brown-and-gray hair tumbling around a weathered face as he pulled his hair thong loose, sharp blue eyes that never once left my face. As if he were judging me for something, and I didn't know what. His nose had been broken sometime during his life.

So I put out my best effort. It was something novel, after all. I could always signal for help if he tried to get rough with me. By the hundred little gods, his hands were big, even large in proportion to the rest of him.

He didn't seem interested in talk, just started stripping off his clothes without so much as a how-do-you-do. I could feel my eyebrows climbing my forehead and stopped them as best I could. If he wanted a little rough-and-ready I could certainly provide that. I could provide him anything he asked for short of two tits and a vagina, and if he'd wanted that he certainly wouldn't be here with me. Cautiously I started unbuttoning my shirt, and at his sharp nod of assent I continued stripping. More sensually than he did, I can tell you that. A little flick of the hip here, a coy glance there, a rub of the finger around one of my nipples.

His iron expression didn't falter, but I saw the heat rise in his eyes. For some reason, I was unaccountably excited by all of this. He inspired caution in me, but I was not afraid. That's good, I told myself. Lack of fear is good. Fear leads to anger--where did that come from?

Then it hit me; the man in front of me was Jedi. Glancing around, I saw what I had missed while taking off my own clothes--plain as day, the lightsaber lying on top of his cloak, well within reach. Of course. Such a controlled face, the plain clothes, the inner burning. How could I have missed it? But then, what in hell would a Jedi want with a whore?

I could have laughed at myself then. Obviously he wanted what everybody else wanted. Time to keep the customer satisfied. I ran my eyes up and down his body. "You're still wearing pants."

"Yes. Kindly do something about that." His voice was as rough as gravel, and even through the baggy, dark material I could see the tell-tale tentpole of an especially eager man. So much for Jedi control.

Naked, I sauntered over and knelt in front of him with as much sex appeal as I could muster. Reached for his trouser string. Started loosening it as slowly as I could, rubbing my cheek against that warm, hard protrusion under the cloth. He sucked in a breath, and when I looked up I saw his head tilted back, eyes closed, mouth slightly open.

"Hurry up," he managed. Such a hungry man. I felt two big hands rest on my head, and they began combing almost desperately through my short, cropped hair. He was beginning to tremble a little, his hips rocking against my questing movements. As per instructions, I tugged the trousers down and he quickly stepped out of them. Oh. My. Hundred little gods, wasn't that a sight to take the edge off a day? My anticipation increased abruptly. I'm so glad I still enjoy my work.

I opened my mouth and very carefully began mouthing the head of his penis, which was already swollen and leaking, colored an angry red. He must have been aroused for hours. I almost pitied him. This probably wouldn't last very long. What could he have been doing or seeing to put him in such a state?

A hoarse groan greeted my efforts, he sagged against the wall for an instant, and then just as quickly was on his feet again, tugging me to mine as well. Eyes still closed, he pulled me into my arms and began to kiss me with an incredible fervor. I was quickly starting to feel like I was in over my head. The man wasn't making love to me or even just fucking me, he was trying to eat me alive, and some non-mercenary part of me didn't mind at all. Suddenly I was being pushed backwards, being propelled onto the bed and his weight almost crushed me into the mattress before he remembered to support himself on his elbows. Our two cocks, both hard now, grinding together. Him, eyes still shut, moaning continuously now, huge hands clenching my shoulders as if he was afraid I'd disappear, though one hand periodically kept returning to stroke my head.

"Your hair," he gasped, his voice even rougher, "so soft and short, so..."

"It's easier..." I managed to gasp, "to care fo--"

I was silenced with an almost brutal kiss. "Don't speak," he ordered harshly, "please, don't speak, just be silent, please." Then he rolled me over on my back and started licking and biting all up and down my spine, two fingers probing the cleft of my ass.

I figured it out then, of course. He wasn't with a prostitute at all, but someone else in his head, and anything I said or did could kill the illusion and his ardor. For some reason that really pissed me off; as I said, I'm a rather exclusive sort of gigolo, with more than my share of adoring admirers who would be happy to monopolize my services completely. I've had the mayor of the capital begging for the honor of escorting me to social events. What was I doing here, with this unpolished Jedi, who didn't even give a damn who I was except that I sort of looked like someone he wanted? What was this?

I could have stopped it. I have the right to toss any customer out on his or her ass, and I've done so before. But that same little part of me didn't want to stop. He was rough but he was good, very good, up to three fingers now with the sweet-smelling oil I always keep on hand, and it seemed like he'd known exactly where my prostate was from the very beginning. Shortly he had me writhing on the sheets, grinding myself into the bed to get some kind of stimulation.

Then my legs were pushed even wider apart and he was there, and little gods it was good, no, better than good, if the sparks behind my eyelids were telling me the truth. It's been some time since I've had a real pounding like that. I would have been able to forget that he wasn't really thinking of me, except that for some reason his hand kept fumbling around my right shoulder as if he was looking for something to be there, something to hold onto. He kept pressing frantic kisses to my shoulders, mumbling something that made no sense until I figured out it was a name. Three clipped syllables that sounded strange to my ears. But definitely a name, and definitely not mine. After a while even the name degenerated to a soft "Oh...oh...oh..." as he reached under me and started pulling on my erection.

I came harder than I can remember coming in years. It was totally unexpected. It has to be a Jedi thing, I remember thinking through the crystal haze of orgasm, has to be, nobody is this fucking good, oh gods, and I don't even like--him--GODS!

I collapsed like a first-timer, boneless, and less than a second later the big cock twitched and exploded inside me. He arched backwards and even though I couldn't see him I knew his eyes were still closed. He screamed that strange name again at the top of his lungs, and shuddered until he was limp.

We lay there for a moment. Then a few soothing strokes to my back, another kiss on my spine, and he was pulling out and off of me. Still lying on the bed, panting, I heard him wipe himself clean and then the rustling of his clothes. I gathered my thoughts from the distant galaxies where they had fled and rolled over. "What's your name?" I asked, almost purring.

He seemed startled at the sound of my voice. Hardly surprising. Then his mouth, which hadn't kissed me near as much as it should have, quirked into a half-smile. "Yoda," he said dryly.

I snorted. "I'm not a Jedi like you, but everyone knows who that little green thing is. Who are you, really?"

It was his turn to arch an eyebrow. "I'm afraid, my young friend, that that's information you will have to do without."

I really don't like being treated that way. Mine is a respectable profession, at least on Alderaan, and I'm very good at it. I decided that a little spite would not be unjustified. "So who were you thinking of, old man?" I asked cruelly, and his eyes go wide before narrowing again. I should certainly have been afraid. That lightsaber was already clipped to his belt. But Jedi don't hurt innocent people, everybody knew that. And I was too angry to be cautious. "Some little boy?" I continued. "Maybe a nephew of yours or something? We see that here sometimes. Who do I remind you of? A pretty young man who'd never look twice at you, never mind bend over?"

His face had frozen into a rictus of calm. Damn Jedi, they all look like that. He reached into his tunic and I heard the rattle of credits.

"You pay down in front," I said insolently. "Don't worry, it won't be much, you didn't take very long." Of all the things I'd said, only that seemed like a lie. Implying that his prowess was deficient when it had been maybe the best fuck I'd ever had. Gods, if I'd thought he'd really been paying attention to me, I wouldn't have let him out of bed all day.

I could see his fist clench and he turned to go. Some part of me was squeezing painfully tight inside. But I couldn't let him go without one last shot, to salvage my wounded pride. "I'm a pretty common body type," I added. "Don't worry, you can find lots of boys like me. In fact, I'm pretty sure you've got one all staked out at every port you've ever been at--don't you?"

His shoulders stiffened and for a second I really did know fear. But he surprised me.

"I do," he grated, like the words tore something vital out of him, and he left the room and me.

Ten minutes passed. I managed to stand up--had a distinct burn in my backside, damn but he was big--and went to the window. Sure enough, the Jedi was leaving the building, making his way casually down the street. I kept watching him. Just before he got out of sight, I saw another man running up to join him and I knew I'd seen my enemy. The one I replaced. A gorgeous young man, maybe a little bit younger than me, with some silly braid hanging down from his head. Another Jedi. Another Jedi. Shit. He was smiling up at the older one, whose expression I couldn't see, practically radiating innocence and love. The older one, my customer, wrapped his arm companionably about the young man's shoulders and they turned the corner. Neither looked back.

I really do wish he had kissed me more.
