Disclaimer: Star Wars does not belong to me and I am not making a single
penny off this. I have been informed that there is a story out there that
goes along somewhat of the same plot line as this one. This is in no way
plagiarism. This is my own idea and not based on any others.
Jedi Master Luke Skywalker glanced up as the smuggler tossed a copy of the Coruscant Weekly at his head. He caught it and watched Mara Jade cautiously. It was obvious to see that she was angry and then saw why. On the front cover was a shadowy picture of two people in a sensuous embrace along with several headlines: JEDI HERO AND SMUGGLER! HAVING AN AFFAIR! RELIABLE SOURCE EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS JEDI MASTER IS AN IMP SYMPATHIZER!
Luke sighed and glanced at Mara. "This is a weekly gossip paper."
"Yeah, how'd they get those photos?"
"I don't know, Mara, it's just gossip."
"What if they start asking questions? Can you lie to them?"
Luke gave her a glance that said 'come on', "I've been lying to the entire galaxy, including my sister, what makes you think I can't lie to a bunch of holo reporters looking for a gossip."
"So how'd they get the photo? Do they have some one tagging us?"
"No, the photo is fabricated. It looks like a balcony out of the Grand Ballroom but it's in the wrong place. It's supposed to have a view of the Manarai Mountains."
"Skywalker, if you are wrong about this you are going to pay," Mara growled before Luke snagged her arms and pressed her against the wall, his mouth descending on her neck.
Leia Organa Solo glanced at the Coruscant Weekly that was shoved under her nose. "Looks like the kid is finally breaking out of his monk shell."
"Don't you know what this could do to his influence in the New Republic. Han, an affair? And with her? Han, this is beyond belief."
"Leia, you knew he would never consent to always being the golden boy of your government. He can't survive without causing some sort of collateral damage."
Luke stood outside his apartment on the balcony with his shirt off leaning against the railing. Mara leaned against his bare back her hands stroking his shoulders and chest then began to slip lower, under the band of his sleep pants, then suddenly there was a flash of light. Mara pulled away from Luke as he glanced down and saw a man with a camera. He reached out to the Force and brought the holo reporter up to eye level, twenty feet off the ground.
"You really should of kept to your own business and stayed out of ours. I think I'll let her deal with you," Luke said as he nodded his head back towards a fuming Mara.
