Prologue:
Ten month passed since the battle of Yavin and the destruction of the death star. Six month since the return of the believed dead alliance heroes Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa and Han Solo.
Ever since then, the evil Emperor focused all his strengths on finding the well hidden rebel base…
And only Mara Jade's hunt for Luke Skywalker is successful…
Attachment:
"We aren't attached, Skywalker," Mara gasped disgustedly, shaking her head so hard that strands of her fiery red, wet hair were slapping Luke's face. She then pushed her surprised lover forcefully with both hands off her sweating body.
"Aren't we?" asked Luke, amazed as he looked innocently at her blushing face. He gazed admiringly upon her almond shaped, emerald shaded eyes with long lashes.
"No!" Mara's harsh voice interrupted his focus as she licked little traces of blood from her lips. Then she tried unsuccessfully to sit up in the cockpit of the small shuttle without hitting her head. "Ow… It's dammed tight in here, Skywalker!" she complained, then placed herself next to him again. "Couldn't you have taken a bigger starship?"
"The ship is big enough, for its intended purpose," smirked Luke, letting his finger run through her silky hair, "I just had no idea that you would accompany me on my outward flight."
"Have to keep you on your toes," she smirked back with a tinge of glare in her eyes.
"Well," he pointed to the hatch that linked the cockpit with the cargo compartment, "we will have plenty of space on the return flight at least."
"Won't your rebel friends be surprised? That their famed hero applied for such an easy and unspectacular supply run," Mara asked as moving her head to lay against his shoulder and her hands started playing with his hair.
"No, I've told the alliance leaders that I need some free time there in the loneliness of space to meditate. And since there aren't too many of us Jedi left, they highly appreciative if I do so," he grinned at her.
"Meditate Skywalker?" Mara moved herself upon Luke's naked body to reach his lips, kissing him hungrily, sucking in his lower lip, only to break off when Luke tried to return the kiss so that he ended up biting her lips once more. "That's what we're doing?"
"Yes" Luke replied empathically, unsuccessfully pretending to be serious. "And what did you tell your Master?"
"The truth of course!" And Luke's eyes widened in fear as his muscles failed and suddenly felt cramped.
