Mara Jade collapsed onto the plush sofa in her Coruscant apartment. She had just spent the past hour with Luke Skywalker in their routine sparring, verbally and physically. Something was different this time. There was a strength in his presence that she hadn't noticed before. A power in his eyes that looked deep into her heart and seemed to expose her.
Electricity, eye to eye
Hey don't I know you? I can't speak
Stripped my senses on the spot
I've never been defenseless
I can't even make sense of this
Raking
her fingers through her honey-red hair, Mara parted her lips with a sigh as
she wondered about this change in the man she had called a friend for the past
ten years. No, the man she called her only friend for the past ten years.
You speak and I don't hear a word
What would happen if we kissed?
Would your tongue slip past my lips?
Would you run away? Would you stay?
Or would I melt into you?
Mouth to mouth, lust to lust
Spontaneously combust
A smile crept on her face as she thought about his face, lips, body. She wondered what he would taste like. Their tongues dueling with desire rather than with words. Their hands exploring each other, rather than at the other's throat. What would happen if she kissed him?
The room is spinning out of control
You act like you didn't notice, brushed my hand
Forbidden fruit, ring on my finger
You're such a moral moral man
Would you throw it away? A question
Will I pretend I'm innocent?
Her eyes drifted over her reclining figure. Her toned and muscled legs, her flat abdomen, her not so ample, yet perky, breasts, her strong and yet gentle hands. Could he love her? Could he release that barrier of self-control that he wrapped around himself like a suit of armor to be capable of love? What would happen if she kissed him and he didn't love her like she loved him?
What would happen if we kissed?
Would your tongue slip past my lips?
Would you run away? Would you stay?
Or would I melt into you?
Mouth to mouth, lust to lust
Spontaneously combust
What would happen if we kissed?
Her
thoughts came to a dead halt. What would happen if he doesn't love me as
much as I love him? I love him?
Confusion took its toll on her and the previous thoughts of love and romance
fled before the sight of her true loner nature.
I struggle with myself again
Quickly the walls are crumbling
Don't know if I can turn away
I
can't. I can't do this to our relationship. We're friends and nothing more.
He doesn't love me. He loves Callista. He's loyal to her, faithful to her. He's
too moral of a man to turn his back on her, even though she turned her back
on him. I won't do this.
Still, the thoughts
lurked in the back of her mind. What would happen if they kissed?
What would happen if we kissed?
Would your tongue slip past my lips?
Would you run away? Would you stay?
Or would I melt into you?
Mouth to mouth
If we kissed
Would your tongue slip past my lips?
Would you run away? Would you stay?
Or would I melt into you?
Mouth to mouth
If we kissed
If we kissed
