Still don't own anything but my OC.
The next day, Ahsoka and Rex were making breakfast for the kids when the others began to wake up. They were making their way into the kitchen from the smell. Kanan got him and Hera some caff while Ezra grabbed some juice for him, Sabine and the children that were getting their food. Ahsoka began to make everyone else breakfast when Hera noticed Izzy or Zeb wasn't there.
"Where are Izzy and Zeb?" the green twi'lek asked.
"Izzy is probably still asleep. She was really out of it yesterday." Ahsoka answered leaving the part about Zeb last night out. She didn't feel like it was her place to tell.
"And Zeb?"
"I'm right here." The lasat answered walking into the kitchen and sitting down.
"Late night?" Kanan asked with a smile. He knew something had been up with his friend since they got here. He noticed everything but wouldn't say it.
"Sure." He answered as a plate was set in front of him. It was silent at the table while everyone ate. The three children finished and cleaned up their plates and went off to play. Izzy still hadn't woken up yet.
"Should we get her up?" Sabine asked.
"No, let her sleep." Ahsoka told her. "She'll be fine to miss one breakfast." She smiled sitting down to eat her own food.
"How long are you staying?" Rex asked as they were all finishing up.
"A few days. Just to rest without the Empire on our tail. If that's alright." Kanan answered.
"Of course." Ahsoka replied with a smile. "You all are always welcome here. You can always restock too. We know a merchant in town that is all about bringing down the Empire."
"That would be great." Hera smiled.
After they cleaned up, Zeb was walking back to his room when Ahsoka stopped him.
"Was she alright?"
"She was upset but fine."
"You smell." She told him. His green eyes looked at her with hurt but then he saw the look in hers. It clicked in his head what she meant and it was because someone was listening. He motioned for her to come in his room so they could talk.
"What happened?" she asked.
"Nothing if you're insinuating something." He told her.
"Well obviously, but something did happen." She smirked at him. she could tell from his force signature that he was caught.
"So?"
"Nothing. I just wanted to see what happened. You both came back later than I thought you would." She told him with a knowing smirk before she walked out the door. "Ezra. It's not polite to eavesdrop. Now go outside, Kanan and I are teaching you something new today." He heard the Togrutas voice as she walked down the hall. He snickered at Ezra whining at being caught but excited to do Jedi training.
Izzy was just waking up. She stretched and looked at the clock. It read 10:22am. Damn, I needed that sleep. She thought as she stretched once again and got out of bed. Once she was dressed, she made her way out into the quite house. Hm, they must be outside.
The demon jedi sat down on the couch and grabbed a book. Her heat felt a little better but it was still there, like a dull pain but still manageable. She could hear the children doing simple exercises with Barriss, Ezra complaining about one thing or another, and the others chatting away with each other. The only voice she didn't hear was Zeb. She shrugged and went to reading her book.
Zeb heard her door open and her walk down the hall. He waited until it got quiet again before leaving his room. Once in the living room, he saw Izzy on the couch, book in hand. Quietly, knowing she'd smell him anyways, he walked over and sat down.
She didn't seem to notice him but the lasat knew better. "Hey." She greeted not looking away from her book. "You can sit by me you know. I won't bite." She told him with a smirk.
He looked at her before his own smirk appeared and he got up and sat on the other end of the couch. He draped his arm over the back and shut his eyes but was still awake. Like her, he could hear everyone outside. They sat in silence for a few minutes before he broke it.
"Are you better today?"
"A bit. My heat has dulled some but it's still there." She answered still reading. His green eyes looked over at her. He could still smell it but it wasn't as dominate as yesterday.
Izzy could sense he wanted to talk about last night. She didn't regret it but she didn't know about Zeb. She did let her heat take over but when she told him tomorrow, she meant it.
"I don't regret it." she said suddenly. Zeb looked at her now. She wasn't reading anymore and put the book on the table. He began rubbing his neck awkwardly.
"Izzy, you're in heat and I understand if it was really nothing." He told her.
"Zeb." He looked at her. She had moved and was now sitting next to him, facing him. "Do you regret it?" she asked him.
"No." he didn't hesitate. He didn't regret it but he will understand if she real;y didn't mean what she said about tonight.
"Then whats really bothering you?"
"It's just, um…" damn it. he cursed himself. He was never good with words.
"I don't find you repulsive if that's whats worrying you. I'm not that type of person." She told him scooting closer.
"Not just that."
"then what?"
"Fives."
"What about him? he's gone and I've accepted that months ago. You told me about losing your mate and it helped with the pain better. There really wasn't anyone that knew my pain. I still love him and always will but you're here." She sadi touching his furry face. Her cobalt gaze locked on his green. "Zeb, if you're worried about me trying to use you as a replacement to deal with my heat, don't. That's not why what happened last night happened."
"Why?" he felt like he needed to know.
"I asked Fives about you joining us." She smiled. He looked confused. "When you guys came here to heal Ezra, there was just something about you that drew me in. I cant explain it. He thought about it and agreed to it. I just never got to talk to you about it. So, I've always wanted you but Fives had to agree with it."
"We left before you could say anything." He concluded with understanding.
"Yes, but now…" she trailed off to kiss him. He didn't hesitate, he deepened the kiss, pulling her on to his lap.
Zeb's hands roamed her back and sides before settling on her hips. She held his face in her hands as their lip lock intensified. Her nails scratched his chin as she moved her hands from his face. He pulled back to breath for a moment before latching onto her neck.
Izzy craned her neck more and her hands moved to his unarmored shoulders to steady herself. She could feel his hands gripping her hips. The tips of his claws digging into her bottom slightly. The claw on his thumbs was ghosting her mound through her leggings. Her hips began to rock slightly. She could feel his semi hardness as she moved.
The Lasat growled as he felt her hips begin to move. He gripped her hips tighter but she kept moving them, only not as much. His grip was strong and it caused his claws to dig into her flesh more. She moaned softly as he attacked her neck and the strength from his grip. Her heat was beginning to flare up again.
They were both so lost in each other that they didn't notice someone walking in on them.
"I would stop before the children see you." Came an accented voice. Izzy snapped her eyes open and Zeb stopped. The demon Jedi looked over to see a blue Twi'lek smirking at them.
"Aayla, how long have you been there?" she asked with a blush of embarrassment. He kept his face in her neck.
"I just walked in. The children are finishing up and its lunch time." The Jedi told them. "Either stop or go to your room."
"Shit. I forgot about the time." Izzy cursed. She was upset that she didn't have more control over this but he smelled so kriffing good.
"Get calmed down before they sense something." Aayla said before going into the kitchen to prepare lunch.
Izzy moved his face to look at her. She could see the longing and want in his green eyes. She smiled and kissed him gently. "We'll finish this later" she promised. He grinned as she slid off his lap. She leaned back on the arm of the couch and kept her legs over him to hide the obvious arousal until it went away. They were back to looking like they were lounging around as friends as the children and the others walked in.
The children ate their lunch then the younger ones took a nap while the older ones were sent to do some studying. The adults and two teens sat in the living room, conversing. The incident with Aayla walking in on Izzy and Zeb wasn't spoken of nor did anyone say anything about knowing about them. Before they knew it, it was time for dinner and then the children went to bed. The adults stayed up for a bit longer.
"Izzy, I have been meaning to ask." Kanan said. She looked over at him. "Who is your contact in the Empire?"
The clones and Jedi went quiet and looked at their friend. They all knew but they didn't know if the others should know yet. That was Izzy's call.
"Why?"
"It's just that, you get really accurate intel." Hera said.
"Yes I do and no you're not going to use them." Izanami told them.
"Why not?" Kanan asked. He sounded a bit annoyed about it.
"You're not ready."
"For what?"
"To know who it is." She glared at him. She knew he was going to put up a fight about it.
"Izzy."
"I said no."
"Do they know?" he asked waving at her friends that she lives with.
"Yes. They didn't at first but I told them once they were ready."
"Kanan." Aayla said. The Jedi looked at the former Master. "It hit us all very hard and I don't think you're ready."
"But Master-"
"She said no." Izzy almost shouted. She was getting angry at the fact they wouldn't leave it.
"Is he like a higher up person or something?" Ezra asked.
"Yes. That's why the intel is so good. That's all you're getting right now." She spoke as it was final.
"that's not good enough and you know it." Kanan began to argue. Hera placed her hand on her Jedi's arm. She was trying to calm him.
"Um, Kanan. I wouldn't piss her off." Zeb told his friend.
"He has a point. Let it go for right now." Ahsoka told her friend. Kanan looked at the Togruta and sighed.
"Fine."
Izzy was about to lose it even though the fighting had stopped. She needed a release from this heat and he was right next to her. She knew Zeb could smell it and Ahsoka and Aayla were sensing it. Barriss knew too but was trying to remain out of it. Izzy stood up, she needed out of this room and alone with the Lasat.
"I'm going to bed." She told them before walking down the hall. She would wait for Zeb. She didn't think he wanted his family to know yet, especially Ezra. When she got into her room she laid on her bed. She needed to calm herself.
