Chapter 9

Obi-Wan stood in front of the mirror studying his refection. He'd found a barber down the street and had his hair cut by someone other than himself for the first time since he'd arrived on Tatooine. He ran his hand over the back of his neck. It looked decidedly less shaggy which he supposed was a good thing. He'd brought along his best off white tunic and dark brown trousers and had pressed them carefully while Luna was out shopping. He had never really given his appearance much thought before but he hoped he looked presentable.

Now, all he had to do was wait. He went over to the bed and sat down turning on the holovision to distract himself. Just then, the refresher door opened and out stepped Luna. She wore a simple white sleeveless dress that came to her knees. The neckline was low enough to provide a tantalizing view of cleavage without being indecent and a colorful belt accented her slim waist. Her hair was twisted into a simple knot on the back of her head, showing off her long, elegant neck. She was stunning.

"Ready?" she asked smiling at him brightly.

….

After a delicious dinner at the hotel, they walked to the cantina hand in hand talking and laughing as they went. Once inside, they found that there was still some time before the band started. They found a booth in the back corner and ordered some drinks.

Luna took a sip of her Alderaan Twist and looked over at Obi-Wan. He seemed to be having a lot of fun. She wondered how much time he had spent planning this evening. It was obvious he had put a lot of thought into every detail. Before long, the band came out and started their first set. They were great, and soon people were up dancing. She even managed to pull him out on the floor once. This was without question the best date she had ever been on.

It was late as they walked back from the cantina. All evening the conversation had flowed without interuption, but as they approached their room, Obi-Wan fell silent and nervousness began radiating off him in waves. She tried to put him at ease.

"Well, thank you for a wonderful evening. It almost makes me wish the Sand People would break the vaporator more often."

"It was fun, wasn't it? Now I know what all the fuss was about dating."

"Wait, you seriously have never been on a date before?" Luna looked at him incredulously.

"No. This is my very first one."

"Never?!"

"No, never." he shook his head.

Luna was amazed. "I guess that makes sense. I knew Jedi had certain regulations and all, but I never really thought about it before. So you never broke the rules? Not once even when you were younger?"

"No." He laughed "Anakin was the one breaking rules all the time not me!"

She thought of what his life must have been like before the end of the war. It was admirable that he took his commitments to the Order so seriously, and she respected him for it. But it must have been a very lonely way to live. It made her long to help him make up for all he had missed out on over the years.

They were inside the room now. She walked up to him and slid her arms around his neck gazing up into his gorgeous blue eyes. "Well, I'm certainly glad that I got to be the first. I had a marvelous time. You know, it is customary to end a date with a kiss."

"Well, since it's customary…" His lips met hers, softly at first but quickly deepening. She clung to him, loving the strength and the safety she felt in his arms. He pulled the pins loose from her hair and it fell down her back. He buried his hands in the thick tresses, running the silky strands through his fingers. "I've been wanting to do that for weeks."

She smiled and pulled away from him, playfully slapping his hands as he tried to pull her back. "It's getting late. I'm going to slip into something a little more comfortable. Don't go away!" She grabbed her bag from the closet and disappeared into the refresher.

….

Obi-Wan ran through a few meditation techniques trying to calm himself. All those nights he had laid awake in his hut wondering what the future held. Never in his wildest imaginings could he have predicted this! She had been in the refresher for a long time. What was she doing in there? He was giddy with excitement and anticipation, and yet scared to death at the same time.

Just then the door opened. Luna walked out in a short green nightgown. The color matched her eyes. Her hair hung down around her shoulders in waves. She was breathtaking. She walked to the bed providing him with a spectacular view of her backside as she went and threw back the covers.

"Are you coming?"

He suddenly realized he was still fully clothed. Kicking off his shoes, he walked to the bed and sat next to her. She reached up and stroked his cheek giving him a smoldering look. "Kiss me."

One by one his clothes began disappearing and soon he was wearing nothing but his shorts. They were laying side by side, his hands wandering over her body. He felt her nipples hardened at his touch. She shuddered with pleasure as he brushed each one with his thumbs. He had to see what they looked like. Slowly he pulled the thin silk garment over her head and gazed at her beautiful body. Her breasts were full with large brown nipples that puckered into hard peaks. He bent his head and suckled each one in turn. She arched her back and moaned at the stimulation holding his head against her. The bond between them was crackling with electricity.

On instinct his hand slid down her side coming to rest on her hip. He reached under the edge of her panties and slowly moved his fingers through her soft curls until he reached the wetness of her center. He stroked her a few times listening as she gasped with pleasure and then slowly pressed one finger inside of her. That was all it took. She came hard, her head thrown back on the pillow, breathlessly calling his name. He could feel what she was experiencing and it was almost his undoing.

Watching her climax was the sexiest thing he had ever seen. He was so hard he ached. She slowly came back to reality and opened her eyes, smiling at him and pulled him down for another kiss.

"Lay back" she whispered.

He laid down and watched as she sat next to him. She ran her hands over his shoulders and down his arms and then leaned over and began kissing her way down his chest. Her hair tickled his skin as she went raising goose pimples all over his body. He shivered at the sensation. She playfully placed a kiss directly on his navel, and then traced her finger down the trail of hair below it. She pushed down his shorts and took him in her hand, squeezing and stroking.

"Luna, oh Luna….please!" He was desperate.

"Come for me." she whispered in his ear, softly biting his earlobe.

He came in her hand, loosing control in a way he never had with another person before. White light exploded behind his eyes.

When he had caught his breath again, Luna was wiping her hands with a tissue. "I'm sorry…I"

"Shh..don't be. That was amazing. Watching you like that, seeing you loose control was so sexy."

His heart was full. How had he lived his whole life without her? "Come here." He pulled her to him, tenderly kissing her before using the Force to flick off the lights.
