Chapter 21

Perhaps sensing his distress, Siri cleared her throat. "I can sense the others, but nobody seems very distressed...just a bit warm."

"But what if they need assistance?"

Siri sighed, then something wicked sparkled in her eyes. "But Master Kenobi," she said, sitting up straighter and running a hand through his hair, the action sending a shiver down his spine. "I need assistance, too."

Her touch was electric, and he found his mind turning back to their position. Really, she did look quite lovely all flushed and bothered. "Oh?"

She grinned. "I'm all sweaty...most unbecoming for a Jedi Master. I think I need a shower...care to join me?"

A grin spread across Obi-Wan's face. He wouldn't mind, not at all. He swept Siri into his arms and used the Force to turn on the water. Siri locked her legs around Obi-Wan's waist as he stepped into the shower - and yelped.

Siri's eyes widened and her eyes followed Obi-Wan's - down - and down - and - oh.

"Size really doesn't matter," she whispered, for the water was icy cold. The heating was out of whack - hot - and the hot water system was out of whack - ice.

"No - not that, Force, I've lost all feeling - I'm turning into an block of ice," Obi-Wan groaned.

"My Obi-sicle," Siri said tenderly and gently tried a bit of light massage.

Creak...

"Hey - don't break it!"

Siri jumped down from Obi-Wan's arms as she shouted, turning to watch him fiddle with the knob. The shower knob.

"I'm trying to - fix it..." Obi-Wan muttered, twisting one way, and then the other, and then yanking sharply on the long curve of the handle.

"Oww!" Siri exclaimed as the water turned scalding hot, and she jumped out of the spray, pressing her body to the tiled wall.

In the next instant, he used the Force to stop the water completely, and turned to find her looking to him, exasperation in her eyes. His skin was still tight and goosebumped from the chill of the icy shower, and she had a streak of red across her side and stomach where the hot water spray had almost burned her.

"This is not working," he said plainly.

She rolled her eyes at him, but then shook loose her frustration. It wasn't his fault after all and he would make it up to her. She would make sure he did.

"Do you have a plan B?" she asked.

His mouth set in a line, but it was only for a moment and then he winked and flashed her a grin. "Come on," he grabbed her hand. "We're not staying here tonight."

"Where are we going?" Siri asked as Obi-Wan led her out of the shower and into the main room again.

"You'll find out." He paused as eyes grazed appreciatively over her, "Unfortunately we'll have to get dressed for this."

"What a shame," Siri said. Her eyes dropped and she grinned as she noted him with equal appreciation.

"I see you've begun to thaw out"

He glanced down at himself. "It would seem so. Things seem to be quite - er- back to normal now."

Her hand slid over him watching his eyes light up. "Nothing like a little warmth to make the dough rise," she purred.

He grinned, then with a reluctant sigh, said, "Let's get dressed and get out of here."

"To where?' Siri asked again. She threw on her tunics and grabbed her cloak, wishing fervently that she could just capture him in her cloak and not let go until full satisfaction were met.

"To the transports."

"What? This won't take long, will it? I don't know how much longer I can hold this off."

"You! What about me? Do you realize how long I've had to hold myself off?" He said playfully, then grinned and cupped her chin affectionately

"LIke I said, you'll find out. And don't worry, it's not far."

"It better not be," she warned as he grabbed her hand and led her out.
