Blast it! Rex screamed inside his head. It felt like it had been split in two… What did he himself get into this time? Commando droids? A Seppie' tank? Or a kriffing Rancor? He didn't get any chance to further wonder about his predicament when he felt someone fumble around his helmet. Kix? No, must be a shiny medic for him to take so long into removing it. He heard his helmet depressurize and be partially lifted off his head, and when Rex opened his eyes, he could only see the voice modulator and the ventilation system of his helmet. But that was not all, his nostrils were suddenly invaded by a strange smell. It was sweet, and somehow euphoric.

"Wha-" He tried to speak, but something was shoved into his lips. A canteen? Kriff, his throat was dry and parched, perhaps from barking out orders to his troops. He needed to hydrate and yet no water was coming out of it. He began sucking on the moist and strangely warm surface only for it to get taken away. That's when he heard someone giggle.

"Greedy now, are we?" A feminine, yet familiar voice said. Rex grew still and his eyes widened. Her voice came from right in front of him and now he could feel heavy breathing that matched his own. He had been kissing someone? Blast it, I just had my first kiss and I didn't notice it?

"Who are you? Where am I?" He asked, only to be silenced by her as a slim finger was placed on his lips and a hand was pressed on his right rerebrace.

"Shh, there's no need to get bossy now. Remember, I'm the one in charge, Captain." and before he could speak any further, she removed her finger from his lips and the lip contact resumed. Rex felt as if his heart would explode at any moment as he felt the desire to kiss back. Her full lips were warm, soft and also sweet and the sensation was both thrilling and exciting.

Could it be... Ceshaa? The Togruta patron at 79's would always ask him to dance with her on the dance floor whenever she saw him at the bar. He always turned her down considering he knew kriff about dancing, but she would always insist and reject his brothers' proposals to replace him. It would take a fool to not notice that she was interested in him, and now it seems that she has finally coaxed him into doing it.

Her attitude sometimes reminds me of Ahso- No, don't think about her, this is your moment. With that, he felt her hands snake from his rerebraces to his shoulders and over them, surrounding his neck. Rex could no longer control himself and caved in, returning the kiss and his hands, seemingly having a mind of their own, lifted off the weirdly carpeted floor and found her thighs. The strange odor and the contact with her legs made things more exciting to his predicament and he soon found his body reacting to the sensations. Suddenly the war, his hardships, the General's reckless plans, his splitting headache, and the sore throat didn't matter to him. He was in his own safe heaven, and that's when she broke the kiss and giggled.

"Wow Rexster, you can kiss better than Lux." She said in a coy tone while she caressed his stubbled chin.

"Lux?" he repeated with frown. He knew that name, and he didn't easily forget. Yes, Lux Bonteri, a Separatist official who denounced Count Dooku and turned pro-Republic during the Onderon insurgency. A known acquaintance of... Wait, did she call me Rexster? Only she calls me by tha- No... no no no!

Rex quickly lifted his hands from what he hoped to the Force was not who he thought she was and took off his helmet. His eyes widened than ever before and a cold chill ran through his spine as his fears were confirmed when he found himself face to face with General Skywalker's Padawan.

"Ah- Ahsoka?" Rex stuttered, realization dawning on him that he had been kissing Ahsoka this entire time. He dropped his helmet and took in his surroundings, confused about how he got in this situation. There was a battle, and something happened to her and... His brows knitted together as he tried to recall how this happened, but couldn't for the life of him tried moving his legs, but found them pinned as Ahsoka straddled his legs.

"Something wrong, Rex?" she asked before she bent down and kissed the exposed portion of his neck, causing a gasp to escape his lips as foreign, yet pleasing sensations settled in. The rational part of Rex demanded that he stop this and find just what the in the blazes was going on, but another part unknown to him told Rex to simply follow his instincts and enjoy. And to his dismay, that part of him was somehow winning over.

"I... We shouldn't-" He tried to speak but all rational thought left him when she cupped his cheeks with her hands, forcing him to face her completely. Her gaze was feral as her blue eyes were dilated and the chevrons of her montrals and lekku were black, a shade he'd never seen before in her appendages.

"Yes, we should and we will." Ahsoka said softly before she leaned in, and pressed her lips onto his once more. He wanted to break the kiss, to run and hope that the General found them soon, but he didn't have the will to do it. He didn't dare do it. It felt... right. He didn't know what frightened him more, the fact that he was in an intimate contact with his friend and commanding officer, or his seemingly submission to it. And that scent, it was driving him crazy!

Before Rex could stop it, he began to kiss her back with such an enthusiasm and want it blindsided him. His hands, having regained their will, were placed on her waist and held her as he tried to gain the upper hand in the aggressive contact. Kriff, what am I doing? He couldn't believe he was doing this, and with Ahsoka of all people! But he couldn't bring himself to really think about his situation as anticipation and heat welled inside of him.

Rex knew about these sort of intimate contact and what soon followed after, if the Holonet is to be found accurate that is. The logical part of his mind that was earlier screaming at him to stop was not but a faint whisper. This other part of his mind had won over, speaking with seductive words that he should disagree with but couldn't. It said to follow his instincts and accept the comfort of his very female commander, and accept he did.

I know what you're going to say: Yes, this is short. Yes, I'm blue balling you, but there's a remedy for that! The full chapter can be found in Archive of Our Own since there aren't any restrictions there when it comes to explicit stories and I want to play it safe on this site.
