THATS THE RULES AT CAPS LOCK CLONE WARS ON LIVEJOURNAL VISIT THEM (ONLY IF YOU CAN STOMICH AND LOVE rEXSOKA AND OTHER DIFFERENT PAIRING) AND ENJOY.

I'M KITTYLIKER ON LIVEJOURNAL. THIS IS A COLLECTION OF CLCW STORIES.

FIRST STORY:ITS A KAMA!(AAYLA/BLY)

AAYLA LOUNGED IN A RELAXED MANNER, STRETCHED LANGUIDLY ACROSS THE LENGTH OF THE BED, AND WATCHED BLY DRESS. EYING HIM APPRECIATIVELY SHE MADE A SMALL COOING SOUND.

"MUST YOU LEAVE SO SOON,BLY? TO BE QUITE HONEST, I DON'T THINK I'M DONE WITH YOU YET." SHE CRAWLS TO THE END OF THE BED AND PLAYFULLY REACHES OUT AND SMACKS HIS ASS.

BLY YELPS AND TWIRLS ON HER, THEN SMILES.

"YES, I HAVE TO GET BACK BEFORE ANYONE NOTICES I'M GONE," HE REPLIES REGRETFULLY. SLIDING INTO HIS BODY SUIT HE STARTS SLAPPING PLATES BACK INTO PLACE. AS HE LOOKS AROUND, HE REALIZES WHAT HE'S MISSING. "WHERE'D MY KAMA GO?"

"OH, YOU MEAN YOUR SKIRT?" AAYLA ASKS WITH A TEASING SMIRK ON HER FACE.

"KAMA," HE RETORTS STIFFLY. HE SEES HER LEAN OVER THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE BED AND PULL OUT THE BLACK LEATHER GARMENT.

"IT'S A SKIRT, MY DEAR COMMANDER," SHE SAYS, A MISCHEVIOUS GLINT IN HER EYES.

"KAMA," BLY SAYS. "NOW MAY I PLEASE HAVE IT?"

AAYLA SHAKES HER HEAD AND HOLDS IT BEHIND HER, WHICH CAUSES HER CHEST TO PERK OUT TOWARDS HIM. HER BODY STILL GLISTENS WITH SWEAT FROM THE PAST FEW HOURS OF HARD PLAY. "NOPE. NOT UNTIL YOU ADMIT IT'S A SKIRT."

"KAMA!" HE NEARLY YELLS. HE KNOWS SHE'S BAITING HIM, BUT HE FINDS HIMSELF FALLING FOR IT ANYWAY. SHE SURE LOOKS GOOD NAKED AND SWEATY. MAYBE HE COULD STAY A LITTLE LONGER.

"ALSO CALLED A?" SHE PRODS PATIENTLY.

"BELT SPAT," BLY SAYS SLOWLY.

"AND ALSO KNOWN AS?" SHE SAYS, CRAWLING TOWARDS HIM, LEKKU TWITCHING AND WRITHING SUGGESTIVELY. "C'MON BLY. SAY IT. SAY IT AND I'LL GIVE IT BACK." KNEELING ON THE BED BEFORE HIM SHE RUNS HER CHEEK AGAINST HIS STOMACH PLATE AND SMILES UP AT HIM.

HE STARES DOWN AT HER AND THE GRUMBLES THROUGH GRITTED TEETH, "ALSO CALLED A BLAST SKIRT." REACHING OUT, HE TAKES THE KAMA GENTLY FROM HER HAND AND LEANS DOWN AND KISSES HER BEFORE WALKING TOWARDS THE HATCH.

"AND IT'S A LOVELY SKIRT, BLY," SHE CALLS TO HIM.

"KAMA!" HE BELLOWS AT THE HATCH, THEN WINCES BECAUSE HE PROBABLY JUST WOKE UP SOMEONE IN THE AREA. QUICKLY WALKING DOWN THE CORRIDOR HE GROWLS TO HIMSELF.

OVER HIS HELMET COMM HE CAN HEAR AAYLA LAUGHING.

STAR WARS SUMMER VACATION(ANI/OBI, REXSOKA)

"THIS LOOKS LIKE A GOOD SPOT," PADME SAID, POINTING AT A MARGIN OF VACANT SAND ON THE VERY CROWDED BEACH.
CHUCHI CHIRPED IN AGREEMENT AND SET DOWN A BLANKET, CAREFUL NOT TO KNOCK OVER ONE OF THE FOUR BOOM BOXES FROM VARIOUS NEIGHBORING TOWELS. BOTH GIRLS QUICKLY STRIPPED DOWN TO THEIR SWIMSUITS AND STRETCHED OUT TO SOAK UP THE SUN.
"OOH, PADME, LOOK OVER THERE," CHUCHI LOWERED HER HEART-SHAPED SUNGLASSES. "IS THAT ANAKIN SKYWALKER.... AND MISTER KENOBI?"
PADME TWITCHED INVOLUNTARILY. "WHAT? NO, IT CAN'T BE ANAKIN--" SHE TRAILED OFF, WORST FEARS CONFIRMED AS SHE FLIPPED OVER ON HER BELLY TO LOOK.
"WHAT'S HE DOING WITH MR. K? IT'S SUMMER VACATION!" CHUCHI SAID. "OHMYGOSH 'ME! YOU DON'T THINK MR. K IS LIKE, ANAKIN'S DAD OR SOMETHING, DO YOU?! THAT WOULD BE SOOO AWKWARD."
PADME JUST SHOOK HER HEAD, MOMENTARILY DISTRACTED BY THE SIGHT OF ANAKIN RUBBING COCOA BUTTER ON HIS PECS.
"NO. THEY'RE NOT RELATED. BUT THEY'RE... FRIENDS OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL." PADME WAS STILL TOO ASHAMED OF HAVING BEEN DUMPED BY HER FORMER BOYFRIEND IN FAVOR OF ANOTHER MAN (A BEARDED, OLDER MAN AT THAT) THAT SHE COULDN'T SAY MORE.
SHE WATCHED ANAKIN RUB SOME COCOA BUTTER A LITTLE TOO FAR BELOW THE BELT OF HIS TRUNKS, SIGHED, AND ROLLED ONTO HER BACK.
"EW! WHO WANTS TO HANG OUT WITH A TEACHER? POOR ANAKIN," CHUCHI CHEWED HER LIP, THEN GASPED, HER EXPRESSION ONE OF FRIGHTENING ELATION. "I'M GONNA GO ASK IF HE WANTS TO JOIN US!"
PADME MADE A DESPERATE GRAB FOR CHUCHI'S ANKLE, MANAGED TO CATCH A FISTFUL OF SAND INSTEAD, THEN BOLTED AFTER HER FRIEND, BOOMBOXES BE DAMNED.
"AYE, MAMI, WHERE YOU GOIN'?" A MAN IN A DU-RAG CALLED OUT AFTER HER.
PADME, SNUBBING HER TOE ON AN EMPTY CORONA BOTTLE EMBEDDED IN THE SAND, CAUGHT UP TOO LATE, CHUCHI WAS ALREADY SMALL-TALKING THE LIFE OUT OF ANAKIN'S FACE.
"SO, LIKE, YOU SHOULD COME FOR A SWIM WITH US!" CHUCHI SAID, AND BOUNCED A LITTLE FOR EMPHASIS.
ANAKIN YAWNED AND RUBBED HIS GLISTENING STOMACH. "SORRY, REALLY BUSY RIGHT NOW, CHUCH-- OH, HEY PADME," HE SAID, FACE SPLIT IN A SHIT-EATING GRIN. "YOU GUYS SHOULD GO SEE MR. GRIEVES, HE'S WORKING THE FORTUNE-TELLING BOOTH. HE LETS EVERYONE KNOW HOW AND WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO DIE." HE CHUCKLED AND SLAPPED MR. K ON THE FIN.
IT WASN'T UNTIL THAT MOMENT THAT PADME AND CHUCHI BOTHERED TO NOTICE NOT ONLY THAT MR. K WAS PRESENT (AND THAT HE WORRYINGLY MADE NO EFFORT TO COVER THE EXPANSE OF PALE FRECKLED SKIN ACROSS HIS CHEST AND SHOULDERS), BUT THAT HE WAS WEARING... A COSTUME. IT WAS GLITTERY. AQUA GREEN SEQUINS CAUGHT THE LIGHT FROM BOTH THE SUN AND THE FLICKERING NEON SIGNS OF THE BOARDWALK, THEY COVERED A SHIMMERSILK MATERIAL THAT CLUNG TO THE LEGS BEFORE FANNING OUT AT THE BOTTOM.
MR. K WAS DRESSED AS A MERMAID.
"UH, WOW, MR. K... YOU LOOK VERY... PRETTY..." CHUCHI MUMBLED.
MR. K APPEARED TO BLUSH, BUT IT MAY HAVE JUST BEEN SUNBURN. "THANK YOU, RIYO. I AM PARTICIPATING IN THE PARADE THIS--"
"PARADE? WHAT PARADE?" CHUCHI INTERRUPTED. PADME COUGHED.
ANAKIN CACKLED. "OBI-WAN LOST A BET THAT HE COULDN'T OUT-DRINK ME LAST NI--"
MR. K MADE AN ODD CHOKING SOUND. "ANAKIN! YOU KNOW I AM PARTICIPATING IN THE MERMAID PARADE TO RAISE MONEY FOR TEMPLE HIGH!" HE TURNED TO THE TWO GIRLS. "ALL-- WELL, MOST OF THE SCHOOL STAFF ARE HERE AS PART OF THE BOARDWALK SIDESHOW THIS YEAR. I HAD THE LUCK TO LAND THE MOST, AH... FUN JOB IN OUR LITTLE CHARITY ORGANIZATION."
"YEAH, THE CHARITY IN MY PANTS..."
"I'M SORRY, ANAKIN, I DIDN'T QUITE CATCH THAT?" MR. K ASKED, VOICE ICE-COLD.
"I SAID IT'S TOO BAD WE CAN'T... DANCE." ANAKIN FINISHED LAMELY. "YEAH, I WISH WE COULD DANCE! BUT IT'S TOO HOT, THERE'S TOO MUCH SAND. PROBABLY." IN THE SUDDEN SILENCE THE SOUND OF RICKY MARTIN DRIFTED OVER FROM ONE OF THE DISTANT STEREOS.
"PROBABLY." MR. K REPEATED, GLARING BENEATH THE GLINT OF HIS GLASSES.
"BUT YOU'RE A HORRIBLE DANCER." PADME SAID. ANAKIN OPENED HIS MOUTH TO REPLY, BUT MR. K'S PROLONGED GLARE SHUT HIM UP, AND HE CROSSED HIS ARMS IN DEFEAT.
"I HAD NO IDEA THERE WAS A PARADE WITH MERMAIDS! HERE AT THE BEACH, ON THE SAME DAY WE HAPPENED TO BE HERE, TOO. I WISH I'D KNOWN SOONER." CHUCHI LOOKED CRESTFALLEN. "DON'T YOU WISH, 'ME? WE COULD HAVE DRESSED UP TOGETHER!"
PADME SHIFTED FROM FOOT TO FOOT, VISIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE.
MR. K FROWNED. "YES, MISS AMIDALA, I THOUGHT YOU'D SAID YOU'D BE WORKING AS A TEACHER'S ASSISTANT ABROAD THIS SUMMER, AND COULDN'T PARTICIPATE?" HE NOT-SO-SUBTLY ELBOWED ANAKIN. "MR. SKYWALKER HERE GLADLY STEPPED IN TO TAKE YOUR PLACE." ANAKIN GRUMBLED SOMETHING UNINTELLIGIBLE.
MERCIFULLY, BEFORE PADME WAS FORCED TO MAKE UP SOME WILD EXCUSE FOR DEVIATING FROM HER USUAL JOB AS EVERY TEACHER'S MOST DEVOTED PET, A KLAXON BLARED.
THE GROUP TURNED, AND WAS MOMENTARILY BLINDED BY WHAT THEY SAW. ADORNING HIMSELF WITH HIS USUAL IMPECCABLE MUSTACHE, A MEGAPHONE HELD HIGH, AND WEARING NOTHING BUT A VERY TIGHT, VERY SHINY, RED SPEEDO, STOOD MR. YULAREN. "ATTENTION! ATTENTION! THE ANNUAL MERMAID PARADE IS ABOUT TO BEGIN, WITH SPECIAL GUESTS FROM OUR VERY OWN TEMPLE HIGH SCHOOL. I, LIFEGUARD WULLF, SHALL LEAD THE CROWD ALONG THE BOARDWALK. LET US BEGIN!" BEACH-GOERS CLAPPED HALF HEARTEDLY, AS MR. YULAREN TURNED TO SEND OFF THE PARADE MARCHERS, FLASHING ALL FOR THE SECOND TIME WITH HIS BARELY COVERED BUTTOCKS.
MR. K SHUT HIS EYES AND SIGHED, PINCHING THE BRIDGE OF HIS NOSE. HE MADE TO STAND, BUT NEARLY TIPPED OVER INTO A SANDCASTLE IN THE PROCESS.
"OH DEAR," HE SAID.
ANAKIN'S FACE WAS PURELY DEMONIC. "I THINK YOU MIGHT NEED TO BE CARRIED, OBI-WAN."
MR. K GAPED. "ABSOLUTELY NOT, I WILL NOT ADD TO THIS INDIGNITY-- AH! PUT ME DOWN, ANAKIN!"
"BUT MERBI-WAN, HOW CAN WE SHOW OFF YOUR BEAUTIFUL COSTUME THAT THE YOUNGLINGS WORKED SO HARD TO MAKE IF YOU CAN'T EVEN WALK?"
MR. K GAVE UP STRUGGLING FOR A MOMENT, BUT THAT WAS ALL ANAKIN NEEDED.
"MER.... MERBI-WAN?" MR. K WENT LIMP IN ANAKIN'S ARMS, WHIMPERING HIS NEW NICKNAME TO HIMSELF AND APPARENTLY GIVING UP ON SALVAGING ANY DIGNITY.
CHUCHI, CONSTERNATION PLAIN ON HER FACE, WATCHED AS ANAKIN SQUEEZED THEIR TEACHER'S SEQUINED ASS, AND CARRIED HIM AWAY TO THE GATHERING CROWD OF MERMAIDS AND OTHER SEA-CREATURES (THREE BOYS IN DOLPHIN COSTUMES LOOKED AN AWFUL LOT LIKE CERTAIN MEMBERS OF THE FOOTBALL TEAM). PADME STALKED OFF BACK TO HER BEACH TOWEL.
"HEY! MAMI, I KNEW YOU'D COME BACK TO ME!" SAID DU-RAG MAN, WHO WAS STILL LISTENING TO RICKY MARTIN. PADME KICKED HIS BOOM BOX AS SHE MADE HER WAY INTO THE WAVES, SNUBBING HER TOE AGAIN

PLANNING SESSIONS(REXSOKA)

SHE ISN'T ENTIRELY SURE WHEN SHE BECAME AWARE OF THE FACT THAT SKYGUY AND MASTER KENOBI WERE...INTIMATE, AND QUITE FRANKLY, AHSOKA MISSED HER DAYS OF BLISSFUL IGNORANCE. THE GLORIOUS DAYS WHEN REFERENCES TO OBI-WAN BEING NIMBLE MEANT HIS PROWESS IN BATTLE, NOT BED. WHEN PLANNING SESSIONS WERE JUST THAT, NOT THINLY VEILED ATTEMPTS AT HIDING A FOUR HOUR LONG..SESSION, JUST NOT ONE OF THE PLANNING VARIETY.

ALL AHSOKA KNOWS IS THAT SHE IS GETTING ALL THE PRACTICE SHE COULD EVER WANT ON JEDI PATIENCE THE MORE TIMES SHE HEARS THAT DAMN BED SLAM INTO THE WALL OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN WHEN SHE'S TRYING TO SLEEP. NOT THE MENTION THE GROANING(SKYGUY). AND THE SIGHING (OBI-WAN). AND THE CHANTING IN SOME WEIRD LANGUAGE (AHSOKA WAS GOING TO GO AHEAD AND BLAME THAT ONE ON MASTER KENOBI, GIVEN THAT SHE BLAMED THE BED ON ANAKIN. ONLY FAIR.)

SHE SIGHS, FLIPPING ONTO HER SIDE, GLARING AT THE WALL THAT SEPARATES HER FROM HER MASTER, AND HER MASTER'S MASTER, AND WHATEVER IT IS THAT HER MASTER AND HIS MASTER ARE DOING VERY LOUDLY AT THIS FORCE FORSAKEN HOUR. YOU ARE GETTING VERY SLEEPY- AHSOKA WILLS ANAKIN THROUGH THEIR TRAINING BOND- SO VERY SLEEPY....

SHE IS GREETED WITH A LOUD NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE A MIX BETWEEN A KEENING BANTHA AND A KRAYT DRAGON. AHSOKA IS HORRIFIED TO REALIZE IT MUST'VE BEEN OBI-WAN MAKING THAT NOISE, AND FIGHTS BACK TEARS AS SHE CAN HEAR ANAKIN MUTTERING SOMETHING.

THE BANGING INCREASES, AS DOES OBI-WAN'S BIZARRE NOISE MAKING.

A SMALL KNOCK IS HEARD ON AHSOKA'S CABIN DOOR, AND SHE LEAPS UP, HOPING AGAINST HOPE GREVIOUS HAS CHOSEN THIS MOMENT TO ATTACK.
SLIDING THE DOOR OPEN, THE SMALL TOGRUNTA IS GREETED WITHT THE SIGHT OF REX, GRIMACE FIRMLY IN PLACE.

"THE GENERALS HAVING ANOTHER PLANNING SESSION?"
AHSOKA NODS, AND REX'S GRIMACE TURNS TO A GRIN.
"LOOKS LIKE WE'LL HAVE TO HAVE ONE OF OUR OWN, WON'T WE THEN?"
AHSOKA GIGGLES AS REX COMES IN, AND SHUTS THE DOOR.

STAKE OUT.

REX WAS AWARE THAT IT WAS GENERAL TANO'S FIRST MISSION WITHOUT HER MASTER, OR ANY OTHER FELLOW JEDI TO GUIDE HER. SHE'D BEEN EXCITED, AT FIRST, AND ALL TOO EAGER TO SEPARATE HERSELF FROM HER MASTER'S SHADOW, TO WHICH SHE'D BEEN FEEBLY LIVING UNDER AS HIS PADAWAN FOR YEARS NOW.

A SENATOR WAS UNDER THE SUSPICION OF TRADING SECRET REPUBLIC INTEL TO SEPERATIST MOLES, AND AHSOKA HAD BEEN ASSIGNED (SHE HAD ACTUALLY VOLENTEERED, FROM WHAT REX HEARD) TO TAKE ON THE MISSION HERSELF. GENERAL SKYWALKER HAD ONLY AGREED TO THIS UNDER THE CONDITION THAT CAPTAIN REX ACCOMPANY HER.

THEY'D FOLLOWED THE SENATOR, WHO WAS POORLY DISGUISED AS A COMMONER, INTO A SPACIOUS ALLEY WHICH WAS APPARENTLY THE RENDEVOUS POINT. HE AND THE TOGRUTAN JEDI STAKED OUT ON THE ROOFTOP OF A NEARBY BUILDING, SUPRISINGLY LOW BUT FAR ENOUGH TO GO PERFECTLY UNNOTICED BY THE TRAITOR.

THROUGHOUT THE STAKEOUT, REX ONLY SPOKE WHEN SPOKEN TO. AND AHSOKA HERSELF SPOKE CURTLY, MORE OR LESS GIVING ORDERS THAT CONSISTED OF A SINGLE WORD, MAKING IT CLEAR TO HIM THAT SHE WAS OBVIOUSLY ANNOYED BY HIS SUPERVISION. SHE JUST DIDN'T ENJOY THE IDEA OF BEING BABY-SITTED BY A CLONE, HE COULD TELL, AND PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE FELT OFFENDED. BUT AT LEAST SHE WASN'T ANGRY WITH HIM, JUST THE FACT THAT GENERAL SKYWALKER DIDN'T TRUST HER ENOUGH TO DO IT ALONE. REX'S PRESENCE WAS YET ANOTHER REMINDER OF THE GAPING CHASM BETWEEN HER AND HER MASTER, AND IT BOTHERED HER.

17 AND AS FIESTY AS EVER, AHSOKA TANO'S ATTITUDE REMINDED REX A LOT OF GENERAL SKYWALKER. SHE'D SEEMED TO PICK UP A LOT OF QUIRKS FROM HER MASTER, THOUGH THEY'D GROWN APART THROUGHOUT THE YEARS FOR REASONS REX KNEW NOTHING OF. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS THAT SHE WAS JUST A LITTLE MORE ATTRACTIVE (THOUGH IT WAS THE GENERAL OPINION OF ALL THE CLONES THAT AHSOKA TANO AND ANAKIN SKYWALKER WERE BOTH EQUALLY FUCKABLE), AND IT DID NOT HELP THAT SHE'D FIT SO WELL INTO THE BLACK CAMISOLE AND CLOSE-FITTING CARGO PANTS SHE WORE TO BLEND IN.

REX HIMSELF WORE CIVILLIAN CLOTHES, BUT HE STILL FELT LIKE A SOLDIER--STILL FELT LIKE A CLONE, DESPITE THE ABSENCE OF HIS FELLOW BROTHERS. IT WAS A NAGGING FEELING IN HIS CHEST THAT REMINDED HIM HE WASN'T QUITE AN INDIVIDUAL. BUT HE KIND OF LIKED BEING ALONE FOR ONCE, AND AHSOKA'S COMPANY WAS A LITTLE MORE THAN TOLERABLE DESPITE HER QUIET SIMPERING. FOR ONCE HE WAS JUST A CIVILLIAN, OR AT LEAST THAT WAS HIS COVER. AND AHSOKA WAS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SPECIES ALTOGETHER, BORN INTO A BEAUTIFUL RACE OF FORCE-SENSITIVE HUMANOID PREDATORS. AND TOGETHER THEY MADE AN UNUSUAL PAIR. THIS GAVE HIM A SENSE OF INDIVDUALITY HE NEVER KNEW HE WANTED.

THE NIGHT SEEMED TOO DRAWN OUT, AS IF IT WOULD NEVER END, AND THIS WAS HARDLY A MISSION AT ALL ANYMORE. THIS WAS--

"PATHETIC."

REX WAS SURPRISED BY AHSOKA'S OUTBURST, THOUGH HE HID IT WELL. HE HAD BEEN ADJUSTING THE UNCOMFORTABLY SNUG LEATHER JACKET THAT ENVELOPED HIM, SO FOREIGN A MATERIAL COMPARED TO THE PROTECTIVE SHELL OF HIS DURASTEEL ARMOR AND FLEXAIBLE SPANDEX BODYSUIT, THE LEATHERY SLEEVES BARELY CONTAINING HIS SOLID BICEPS AND FOREARMS WITH EACH RESTLESS SQUIRM.

"SIR?" REX SAID CAREFULLY, FEIGNING IGNORANCE.

"DON'T PLAY DUMB, CAPTAIN!" AHSOKA GRATED, AND THEN GESTURED AN ACCUSING ARM TOWARDS THE DISGUISED SENATOR. "FORCE, I DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS." SHE PINCHED THE BRIDGE OF HER NOSE WITH HER FOREFINGER AND THUMB, EXASPERATED.

REX GLANCED INTO THE ALLEY, AND NEARLY SNORTED AT THE SIGHT OF THE MAN TRYING TO COAX A MALE TWI'LEK INTO GIVING HEAD.

SO MUCH FOR THE REPUBLIC'S SUSPICIOUNS. THE SENATOR WAS JUST A LONELY GUY WITH KINKS...

BUT EVEN THE HOOKERS IN THIS DISTRICT OF CORUSCANT SEEMED TO HAVE STANDARDS, APPARENTLY. AND FOR GOOD REASON. THE TWI'LEK WAS BEAUTIFUL...FOR A MALE. REX THOUGHT HE LOOKED FAMILIAR, BUT THAT WAS...IMPROBABLE... ?

"THE GUY CAN'T EVEN SCORE WITH THE PAYED HELP," REX LEERED, IN THAT MOMENT FORGETTING THAT HE WAS IN THE PRESENCE OF A JEDI, AND MORE SO A YOUNG WOMAN... TOGRUTA. WHATEVER.

HE REALIZED THIS ONLY A FRACTION OF A SECOND TOO LATE, AND WAS IMMEDIATELY AWARE OF THE AWKWARD SILENCE THAT SETTLED BETWEEN THEM. REX REFUSED TO LOOK AT AHSOKA, OR THE DISSAPPROVAL HE WAS SURE HE WOULD FIND REFLECTED UPON THOSE INCREDIBLY BLUE EYES. HE WAITED FOR SOME SORT OF REPROACH, THE PATENTED JEDI REPRIMANDING THAT THEY WERE KNOWN FOR. "YOU'VE GOT THAT RIGHT," AHSOKA HUFFED INSTEAD, AND HE DID A DOUBLE-TAKE WHEN HIS GAZE WHIPPED UP TO LOOK AT HER IN A COMBINATION OF DISBELIEF AND SOME NEWFOUND SENSE OF KINSHIP. SHE CRINKLED HER LITTLE PIXIE NOSE IN DISTASTE AT THE PATHETIC DISPLAY BELOW THEM, AND HE COULDN'T HELP BUT FIND THAT GESTURE ALONE ADORABLE.

OH YEAH... DEFINATELY FUCKABLE. REX GULPED, HIS MOUTH SUDDENLY DRY.

AHSOKA CONTINUED UNASSUMINGLY, "HE'S DOING SUCH A PATHETIC JOB AT TRYING TO GET LAID, HE'S PRACTICALLY BEGGING! DESPERATION IS NOT HOT AT ALL."

WAS FOREPLAY ESSCENTIAL FOR JUST A QUICKIE? REX HAD TO WONDER.

BOREDOM WAS OBVIOUSLY EATING AWAY AT BOTH OF THEIR SANITIES, REX WAS SURE OF THIS NOW. HE SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SURPRISED AT AHSOKA'S MANNERS (OR LACK THEREOF). SHE WAS GENERAL SKYWALKER'S APPRENTICE, AFTER ALL. AND DIDN'T HE JUST RECALL HOW SIMILIAR SHE WAS TO HER MASTER?

STILL, REX WAS INTRUIGED BY HER WORDS. "AND YOU WOULD KNOW, GENERAL?"

FOR A MOMENT AHSOKA'S CHEEKS DARKENED WITH COLOR AND SHE STARED AT HIM AS IF SHE, TOO, HAD REALIZED THIER SITUATION, BUT SHE DID NOT SHY AWAY FROM THE QUESTION OR EVEN REPROACH HIM FOR QUESTIONING HER AT ALL. "IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING," SHE HARRUMPHED, "I'M A GIRL--WOMAN. I JUST KNOW THESE THINGS." THIS WAS SAID MATTER-OF-FACTLY, REGARDLESS OF HOW UNFOUNDED THE SENTENCE ITSELF SEEMED.

REX WAS BEGINING TO LIKE THAT SHE DIDN'T IMMEDIATELY LASH OUT LIKE MOST OTHER JEDI. HE'D LEARNED EARLY ON THAT MOST JEDI FROWNED UPON HIS LITTLE QUIRK OF SPEAKING OUT OF TURN. THEY DIDN'T LIKE HIS--WHAT WAS THE WORD? AH. HONESTY.

REX STARED AT THE TOGRUTA AND HIS MOUTH STRETCHED INTO A SLOW, LOPSIDED GRIN.

AHSOKA'S FACE FLUSHED A DEEPER SHADE OF RED, UNSURE OF WHAT TO THINK OF REX'S SULTRY LOOK. WITH A BLACK LEATHER JACKET PULLED FITTINGLY AROUND HIS SOLID FORM, GREY CARGO PANTS AND COMBAT BOOTS, HE SEEMED LIKE ANY OTHER YOUNG MAN LOOKING FOR FUN THROUGHOUT THE CORUSCANT NIGHTS. PURPOSELY IGNORING HIS GAZE, SHE GLANCED DOWN AT THE SCENE BELOW THEM AND ALMOST WISH SHE HADN'T. THROUGH SOME STROKE OF UNDESERVING LUCK, THE SENATOR WAS POUNDING INTO THE TWI'LEK. BUT THE TWI'LEK MALE LOOKED POSITIVELY BORED, WHICH IN ITSELF MADE HER FEEL ALL THE MORE SORRY FOR HIM. REALIZING SHE WAS STARING, AHSOKA QUICKLY LOOKED AWAY AND FLUSHED EVEN MORE.

REX SNORTED AT THE SIGHT. "MERCY FUCK."

AHSOKA GLARED AT REX. "IT'S NOT LIKE YOU CAN DO ANY BETTER."

OH SNAP.

SHE HADN'T MEANT TO SAY THAT. WASN'T EVEN SURE WHY SHE'D SAID IT. BUT IT HAD ESCAPED HER MOUTH BEFORE SHE HAD THE GOOD SENSE TO STOP HERSELF.

SOMETHING SEEMED TO CHANGE IN THE ATMOSPHERE. OR IN REX. SHE WASN'T SURE, WASN'T EVEN AWARE OF ANYTHING BUT THE UNFATHOMABLE EXPRESSION ON HIS FACE. IT UNNERVED HER, THOUGH ONLY BECAUSE SHE'D NEVER SEEN THIS LOOK ON ANY CLONE BEFORE.

"I CAN," REX SAID IN A LOW, SULTRY VOICE THAT TINGLED HER SKIN. SUDDENLY HE WAS CLOSER AND CLOSER UNTIL HIS FACE LEANED AGAINST HERS AND ONE OF HIS LEGS SLIPPED BETTWEN HER THIGHS. SHE WAS FORCED TO LEAN AGAINST THE SOLID RAILINGS JUST TO KEEP FROM BEING PRESSED COMPLETELY AGAINST HIM.

"C...CAPTAIN!" AHSOKA STUTTERED, TRYING AND FAILING TO SOUND REPROACHFUL. WITH HIM IN SUCH CLOSE PROXIMITY, SHE REALIZED SUDDENLY THAT HE WAS SO MUCH TALLER THAN HER... HIS SHOULDERS WERE BROADER AND ETCHED WITH MUSCLE, HIS HANDS COLLAUSE AND YET THEY COULD HAVE EASILY CRUSHED HER SLENDER WRISTS.

"GENERAL," REX MOCKED BACK AT HER. HE BUCKED HIS KNEE UNTIL SHE WAS PRACTICALLY RIDING IT BETTWEN HER THIGHS, AND AHSOKA LET OUT A MUFFLED CRY AT THE SHELLSCHOCKING TOUCH. THE BODILY CONTACT SHOOTS A DANCE ACROSS HER NERVE ENDINGS AND LIGHTS A FIRE UNDER HER SKIN.

"SHUT UP, SIR," REX ORDERED, AND A DEFIANT RAGE LIT UP IN AHSOKA AT THE COMMAND. BUT, AS IF SENSING THIS, REX CAUGHT HER COMPLETELY OFF GAURD WITH YET ANOTHER BUCKING OF HIS KNEE AND ALL SHE COULD FEEL WAS THE SHOCK OF AROUSAL. SHE SQUEAKED IN PROTEST, BUT HE EFFECTIVELY SHUT HER UP WITH HIS OWN MOUTH AGAINST HERS.

HER MIND SHUT DOWN AFTER THAT, STARTLED TO THE VERY CORE. CARNAL TOGRUTA INSTINCTS KICKED IN TO FULL GEAR, DOING WHAT HER GOOD SENSE COULD NOT AND KISSING HIM BACK.

"I'M GOING TO FUCK YOU," REX TOLD HER, HOTLY MUMBLING IT AGAINST HER PARTED LIPS. HE COULD FEEL THE HEAT BETWEEN HER LEGS AS HE STRADLED HIS THIGH UNDER IT. BUT DESPITE HER SPEECHLESSNESS, SHE WAS CERTAINLY NOT OBJECTING. "IT'S GOING TO BE SLOPPY, HARD, AND I'M GOING TO FUCK YOU RIGHT AGAINST THIS RAILING."

A WHIMPER ESCAPED HER LIPS, THE BAREST WHISPER OF A PLEA FOR...FOR MORE. AHSOKA ARCHED AGAINST HIM AND WITH A SINGLE, FLUID MOVEMENT HER LEGS WERE AROUND HIS WAIST INSTANTLY.

"I TOLD YOU I CAN DO BETTER."
