This mission was supposed to be secret!

Of all the infernal luck…!

"How did you know we were here?" I demand, dodging his sword.

He laughs. "Simple, really. It was quite easy to deduce your position."

Pride stinging, I glare at him, slicing viciously with my lightsaber. "Oh?"

"Of course," he says smugly. "It is impossible to take me by surprise, Jedi."

His voice is laced with sheer arrogance.

In that instant, I resolve to prove him wrong.

Vaguely aware that what I'm doing is crazy, I block his swing.

Force the lightsaber to the side.

And pounce.

I wrap the free arm around his neck, press my body to his, and kiss him.

Right over the spot on his mask where his lips should be.

I feel his breath catch. Fireworks explode in my mind. Could it be…?

But before I totally lose control, I manage to break away.

I wrench from him, lightsaber in hand. Adjust my robe. He's still as stone.

My eyes glare with triumph, but my face betrays me.

I'm blushing like a fool.

With a trembling, casual smirk, I ask, "Expecting that, General?"

Apparently frozen, he touches the same spot with shaking fingers.

He stares at me. My heart pounds in answer.

And then his eyes glitter. "Actually…"


A/N: A-ha! I LOVED writing this one. Shaak Ti's probably VERY OOC, but, then again, she finally got fed up with Grievous's attitude, and decided to let him have it. XD Did you like? Review!
