-Wish I Hadn't Seen That-

She turned when his footsteps stopped behind her and smiled as the man swept the hood from his head, placed one arm around her waist, pulled her against him and crushed his mouth to hers.

She pushed herself slightly away from him and looked up into his face, "Tyrus, please, we need to talk and have time for little else."

He unhooked and dropped his cape as he pushed her back against the window then eased his free hand under her cape and lowered his face to nuzzle at her neck. She quietly moaned as he caressed her under the cape and her hands moved slowly across the width of his back.

"Dammit, Tyrus, it's not safe here anymore, we have to….we have to."

"What, Cori? Stop? I don't believe for one minute that's what you want."

He took his hand from under the cape and let it drift down to the bottom of her skirt which he slowly lifted as his hand slid up her leg. His red hand against the creamy whiteness of her thigh looked like blood on snow as it glided higher and higher. He grasped her underwear in his fist and skimmed them down her legs and once free, he dropped the garment to the floor.

The sith moved to free himself from his armor and again lifted her skirt and pulled her legs up to straddle his hips as he reached behind her to place his palms against the window. Shit! I hope it doesn't give way under the strain.

I watched his lightsaber start to swing back and forth on his belt as he began to move against her and I lowered the binocs, a voyeur I am not and if I want porn, I'll pay for it. I had already watched longer than I should have.

Besides, my johnson was going rogue inside my khakis trying to push its way through the cloth that stretched tighter and tighter across my groin. Even through the underwear, the bottom of the zipper was damned uncomfortable and I dare not move to adjust myself to a more accommodating position, if there even was one.

The moans, groans and panting still assaulted my ear, not helping matters any, and when I heard the low growl come from the sith's chest, and Cori's strangled sigh, I figured they were done. Crap I hope so, maybe I could now hear something useful and my crotch could get some relief.

I carefully put the binocs back up to my eyes as the sith stepped back and put himself away. I smirked to myself, 'that's gonna leave a stain on the front of your fancy leather armor, lover boy'.

Tyrus retrieved his cloak and spread it on the floor as Cori smoothed her skirt. He took her hand and helped her sit and then sat down himself.

"We could have waited, Tyrus, I told you we need to talk and it's not safe here."

"It has been six days, Cori. I have little restraint where you are concerned and there was no cause to wait. You did enjoy yourself, yes?"

She gave a breathy chuckle, "I always do, love, except your armor rubbing my thighs raw."

"Would you like for me to kiss them and make them all better?" The sith teased.

"You are not helping, Ty, and what we need to talk about is important"

Tyrus sighed, "Very well, proceed."

"My mother and sister are well?"

"Of course, and still hidden, although they had to restrain Coreena again. She tried to hang herself with her nightclothes a couple of days ago, she is getting worse, Cori. She claims she can still hear it calling to her, even after all this time and over all this distance."

"I still hear it too, but not the way Reeny does."

"That is because it never touched you the way it did her, but we have been over this before. What other revelations do you bring to me?"

"Conrad suspects that I am meeting someone and is having me surveilled by the Coruscant Police Division. He even wanted Markus to follow me, but he declined."

"I will kill Conrad one day, Cori, you can count on that. He can only be protected for so long. And, it is Markus now, is it? Do I have cause for concern?"

"Of course not, Ty, but he is getting closer to obtaining the plans for Tritan's compound and hopefully I will have the amulet back in a few days or a week at most."

"Are you sure you weren't followed, Cori? I thought I sensed something."

Aw, hell! I stood stock still, slowed my breathing and tried to stop my heart from hammering in my chest. I have an acute allergy to lightsabers of any color, especially red.

"I took precautions, Ty. I had Arrtis make several stops where I got out and back in the speeder and then gave a total stranger, who looked a bit down on her luck, my long cloak and some credits to take my place. I walked the rest of the way and was not followed. We are fine, stop fretting."

"Perhaps you're right, love. So what else did you learn?"

"Markus said an odd thing about Conrad wanting me to have a child, soon. As if Antois could father a child with me. He couldn't even maintain an erection on our wedding night. But Markus almost made it sound as if Conrad wanted the child to be his. It's absurd, of course, but Conrad can never be underestimated and no one knows his true plans."

"Like I said, Cori, I will kill him one day and if he lays a hand on you that will hasten his demise. The only thing keeping him safe now is the empire's interest in his damned weapon. It is supposed to be very powerful, perhaps too powerful for anyone to have, it worries me, Cori."

She extended her hand and began to stroke one of the tendrils that hung from his chin. "I thought sith were all death and destruction, doom and gloom."

Tyrus emitted a deep laugh and leaned over to kiss her. "Usually, yes, but I am more the conquest type. What good is ruling if no one is alive to rule over, or better yet, if I am dead as well. What I fear is that the empire won't stop after they destroy the republic. Ah, well, best not to speculate, the weapon is not even finished yet."

"Do you even know what it does?"

"Not really, something to do with nebulas is the rumor, but you know how reliable rumors are. I am not giving away state secrets to a secret SIS agent am I?"

"Hardly, being as how you know my background. But, Ty, darling, we must find a new meeting place, I do not feel this one is safe any more, and we must be very careful with communications also. I'll just be glad when this is all over and I can go home to be with you and see mother again."

Tyrus stood and helped Cori to her feet. "Arrtis has the speeder parked on one of the lower levels, can you get me there my sweet?"

I could hear the anger just beneath the surface as Tyrus asked. "You still bedding the cathar?"

"When you are gone for so long, yes. He keeps me safe and I like the feel of his fur against my skin."

"I will make a hat out of him one of these days."

"You will do no such thing, and would you rather I was totally alone?"

"Not at all, I will make a fur cape for you also. I do not like to share what is mine. Stay close."

Tyrus wrapped his cloak around them both and they faded from sight, all I saw was what looked like a swirling shadow against the darkness and then nothing.
