Failed Deception, Chapter 5
.
Palpatine sat in his comfortable swivel chair behind the huge desk, which was always tidy as if he hadn't been working. He knew how to let the others work for him, after all he was the Chancellor ... and soon the Emperor, he thought. He wondered if the tactic of wearing down Anakin's ghost was correct. Would he achieve the goal on this way or should he come up with something else, something more effective? He felt Anakin's sexual arousal through the Force, but he didn't know whether he was having sex with his wife or whether he masturbated, after all he was sometimes alone on the missions. It had to be something that was hundred percent effective. He decided to send Anakin bad dreams through the Force, or better yet, plant them in Anakin's head when he comes. They are supposed to make him dream of the death of his wife every night and eventually comes Anakin to him to ask for help, because the Jedis couldn't help him.
Padmé and Anakin were sitting in the canteen chewing a badly prepared banthasteak. Anakin, who was already scared, irritable and nervous before the evening, had spat out almost everything he had in his mouth. Padmé was a bit more reserved and simply left everything where it was.
"Ani, don't get angry. I know you're hungry, we'll take a little something extra. We're going to have a nice dinner this evening. Do you already know where? "
"Let me guess ... Mandalorian, right?"
"Exactly. I know that this is your favorite restaurant. "
"You are just a sweetheart, Padmé"
"I still have to work now. Where do you have to go "
"To Temple"
"See you later, I love you"
"I love you too"
Padme worked until 1800 and went home to change. In the senatorial outfit she only had to appear in the Senate, but for going out she could wear something simpler. Anakin always wore his Jedi robe.
By 2000 they had gone to the Mandalorian together. When they checked in at the reception, she saw Rush Clovis walking towards them alone.
"Hello Padmé. Is that your new toy. Do you play with him in the sandpit? "
Anakin was about to reach out to hit him, but she had held him back at the last moment.
"Rush, Anakin is not a toy, he's my husband. I am overjoyed to have such a wonderful man by my side and you should be happy if anyone at all wants to be by your side, but as I see you are alone. Have a nice evening"
They turned and went to their table. He held her chair, as always, and sat himself.
"So, this is Senator Clovis. What an asshole "
"Ani, let's not spoil the evening. We will eat nice, have a drink and then we go home and make love, "she smiled
"Angel, I'm already frustrated with what could happen"
"No Ani, we'll see first if that repeats. Only then can you be frustrated "
"You're right. So, what can we eat? I'm hungry"
"You're always hungry, unfortunately the portions in upscale restaurants are pretty small"
"Then I take a double portion"
And they both laughed.
"Bantha Steak is very good here, I'll take it and I know you would like it too"
"How do you know that?"
"You wrote to me regularly and revealed a lot about yourself, I know a lot about you"
"And I know not so much about my wife. You will now tell me as much as you can about yourself. "
"You know that I love you, that's enough"
"Oh no, that's not how we play. It's a sandpit game, as your ... friend called it. "
"He's not my friend and he was never my friend. With the kind help of Dormé, I quickly saw how he is. "
Then she started to tell everything she meant that he couldn't know, including her feelings over the years. Anakin felt for her, and then he felt need and asked her to go home.
Arrived at the apartment, with the speeder across the porch, they stayed in their seats and kissed. A holocam flew by, they hadn't noticed. They had another nightcap and went to bed. Anakin was nervous. She tried to relax him by giving him a blow job, he enjoyed it. He let it come to him and was rewarded with an intense orgasm.
"You see, it works," said Padmé with delight.
"We have to check that again"
"I'll take you at your word."
"Give me a few minutes, Angel," he laughed.
... and then he started kissing her and licking her and caressing her ... that cost energy.
"Are you tired, Ani?"
"Not for my Angel."
He turned her on to her stomach and slid into her from behind. He did it slowly, then faster and in the end he accelerated the tempo so that she felt it coming and couldn't stop it, but he wasn't so far. He went on and for the first time he reached the highpoint much later than she did.
"Ani, that wasn't ideal, we have to repeat that."
"Yes Angel, we have time ...all night"
The next time it was as always, as they liked it ... and so all night long. Getting up, having breakfast, going to the temple, to go to senat was difficult for her. They were tired but satisfied. The trembling in the Force has not been repeated.
Anakin went to the Obi-Wan and told him about the previous night. Even his Master was reassured. He told him to prepare for the next mission, it could be an extended one. Anakin had gotten so used to being with his wife, that he was afraid now to lose his mind just thinking about being apart from her.
The Chancellor wanted to be informed about the missionand ordered Anakin into his office. Unfortunately he miscalculated because his Master came with him. Palpatine sighed. He would like to kill Obi-Wan, but that will come soon, he thought.
"Master Kenobi, Anakin, good to see you. The mission, you will be sent on, is one for long in the Outer Rim. I know and I know as well that exactly the area borders on area, should I call it no man's land, where the planets are, from where the raw materials for making of spice, which are main source of income for Trade Federation. You Master Kenobi, have found out that the Trade Federation warships are densifying in the area, so I was told by Jedirat. For what purpose are you being sent there now if the Senate has not yet decided to send the Republic's fleet there? We are almost incapable of acting from too much democracy. Senate deliberates a matter until it is too late. "
"We are sent to the area as long-term observers"
"That won't do anything, it's wasted time. If I had decision-making power, the problem would have been solved long ago. "
"We will share your position with the High Council. Unfortunately, we have no influence on the Senate. "
"I wish you a successful mission"
"Thank you Excellence"
When they got to the door, Palpatine tried to hold back Anakin.
"Anakin my boy, a word. Master Kenobi, you don't mind "
"I'm waiting for you Anakin" he objected, but couldn't put it that way, but stayed close.
"Anakin, you told me the other day about tremors in power. Has the problem been solved, or ... "
"No, your Excellency, everything is fine."
Anakin felt a slight pressure, as if someone was clamping his head. Obi-Wan stood outside the Chancellor's office and felt the same thing.
"Good Anakin, I was happy to see you, I wish successful mission."
"Thank you Excellence" he left
Obi-Wan immediately asked:
"Anakin, did you feel something?"
"Yes Master. I'm sure he wanted to get into my head. Master, he is sensitive to Force and hides it. Can you imagine that he is a Sith Lord? "
"Not really. The Sith are extinct ... ..but I really suspect him "
Palpatine was not satisfied with himself, but the time to reveal himself was still a long way off. Therefore he had to look for safe ways to get to his goal. Anakin couldn't be manipulated as he had imagined, he had to approach him in a roundabout way. Yes, his wife. If she is in danger, Anakin will do everything to protect her and keep her from death. When Anakin is gone, he will act.
After visiting Palpatine, Anakin and his Master went to see Padme.
"Good morning Padme. You have already seen Anakin and ... you know what I mean "
"Yes, Obi-Wan, hello. Is there a reason for this visit, not that I don't like to see you for no reason? "
"Yes. we learned this morning that we would be sent on a mission that will take a little longer "
"Oh! Where to, for how long? "
"Where does only Jedi Council and the Chancellor know and how long it will take? We don't know ourselves, actually as long as it is necessary. Few weeks, a few months … .. "
Padme took a breath, which Obi-Wan noticed, as did Anakin's gaze.
"I know it will be difficult for you, but Jedi have to go on missions. Padme, Anakin told me everything. I'll have to report that to the Jedi Council. "
"If you have to ..." Anakin said "... then I'll have to report to the council that you and Siri are in a relationship."
"This is extortion Anakin."
Extortion is a violation of the Jedi Code. One more offense and many to come. There have already been so many that it has become almost normal, no longer worth mentioning.
"You mean what I do is wrong, but what you do is always right."
"It's not the same"
"Of course not."
"We don't want to discuss this complex situation here and we cannot solve this problem now. That has to wait for the right moment. "
"As you mean Master."
"You can leave it too, Obi-Wan. Where is the damage from it? "
"Jedis shouldn't have relationships and dependencies"
"But you can"
"That is not the same"
"You're repeating yourself Obi-Wan. It is the same. You love Siri and you've been together for three years. Has the relationship harmed you, or has it even had an impact on your being a Jedi? I'm sure it hasn't. "
"Anakin, we're leaving this for now. We must go. Have a nice day, Padme. "
That evening Anakin came home quite absent-minded. Padme wondered if it was just the mission above, or Obi-Wan's determination to report her marriage to the Jedi Council, or something else entirely.
"Ani, what's wrong? You look so depressed. "
"The mission that takes me so far from you, is driving me crazy. Obi-Wan and his tenacity too, but what worries me the most is the visit to Palpatin. Angel, the man is getting creepy to me. I have considered him a friend for many years, he was always friendly, understanding and helpful, but now every time I am with him, I have that feeling he wants to manipulate me. Somehow he knocks on my mental barriers every time. You have to be careful when you are alone with him, he will try to extract your minds. "
"I'll try to avoid him."
"Good Angel, if you need help, go to Grandmaster Yoda."
"OK. and now we'll try to survive what C3PO cooked for us. " she laughed.
"I have heard that. Not fair ! When did I serve something bad? " said the droid.
"Well, very raw bantha steak a few days ago and then another burned-in Shaak stew the day after and ..."
"Listen to Master Anakin, it wasn't my fault. Here in the kitchen you have a very old hotplate that cannot be adjusted properly. "
"Yes, that's right. Let me think about it, how old is the hotplate Angel ... a month or even two ? We have to have changed them as soon as possible, otherwise we always get burnt-in meals. "
And then they all laughed, even C3PO, who was programmed for it too. Fun.
"When do you have to go?"
"The day after tomorrow"
"Not so much time for each other, but we should take full advantage of that. We watch the Holonews and another love movie ... to get in the mood ... and then ... "
"Angel, I don't need a mood maker, I always want you ... now, here on the couch, on the floor ..."
And they began to take their clothes off, slowly and sensually. After they were naked, he picked her up and carried her into the bedroom.
"C3PO doesn't have to see that, not that I have inhibitions, but he could gossip. Spread your legs Angel, I have to get in quickly, otherwise I'll go crazy. "
"Then do it fast and hard, otherwise I'll go crazy."
He did. Then they lay there for a while and snuggled up against each other.
"Angel, that was just fucking, you deserved a lot more, especially now that I have to go, something you will remember for a long time."
"How could I forget our love? But love me now the way you think I like it. "
He knew exactly what she liked and started with passionate kisses, light bites with which he marked her, licked her up and down, slid into her very slowly, got faster and harder which brought them both to orgasm. They repeated such a lovemaking until they both fell asleep satisfied. I love you has been said a thousand times and has not been lied to.
After two days, they said goodbye at home with tears. He did not promise to play the hero and she promised to avoid the Palpatine. She really wanted to be in the hangar bay when Anakin and his Master departed. She hoped to be able to hold back the tears. She was a politician, she could put on the mask of neutrality and maintain it, at least until she was at home alone. At the hangar bay were Master Windu and Grandmaster Yoda. It seemed like Master Windu wasn't pleased to see her. Grandmaster had a neutral expression on his face.
"Master Kenobi, Anakin, I wish you a successful mission. Come home healthy. " she said in the style of a senator.
"Thank you Senator Amidala."
They got in, Anakin with tears in his eyes. His Master had eyes everywhere, he saw it.
"Your tears are signs of unrest, Anakin. A Jedi should feel at peace, not be troubled ... like you do now. I had to report your marriage to the High Council. "
"Thank you Master, you are so good to me"
"Anakin, I had to do it."
"Understand"
The task was risky this time. They are supposed to penetrate the territory controlled by the Trade Federation with their small fighters and locate the position of their destroyer. Only the best were qualified for this, the best pilot in the galaxy Anakin Skywalker and his Master. Obi-Wan wasn't like Anakin, crazy about flying, but that didn't mean he was a bad pilot.
Their mission brought them to Kashyyyk, as a base. This planet where the Wookies lived was not exactly on the main trade route, but close enough to get help relatively quickly if needed. Kashyyyk was a planet that was overgrown with dense jungle and had a lot of water. The planet's axis was not inclined and the orbit around its sun was almost perfectly round, so there were no seasons, the climate was tropical. The aborigines built their homes on the Wroshyr trees. The Wookien were a humanoid species, tall, hairy, and strong, over two meters. Although they looked primitive, they were familiar with high technology and were able to skillfully combine their ancestral and modern technologies. They were part of the republic.
That was only part of the job. The sphere of influence of the Trade Federation was not homogeneous, there were several non-contiguous areas. The explorations are to be carried out in all areas. Anakin and Obi-Wan knew it could be very time consuming.
Early one morning, Anakin and Obi-Wan set off for Randon, which was on the border of the Hutt controlled area. They flew along a route. Either it was a strategic mistake or it was on purpose. The fighters were intercepted and taken to Ruusan. Anakin's fighter had all short-range and long-range sensors and R2D2 was also on board. The little astromech discovered a space station in orbit around the moon of Ruusan that was still under construction. The data has been saved.
The fighters were confiscated and transported to an undisclosed location. Anakin and Obi-Wan ended up in a cell. Before they were led into an interrogation room, the cell door opened and a masked figure showed them the way outside
"I was assigned to free you. Your fighters park in bay V7, hurry up and don't ask any questions. "
It went well again, thought Anakin, wondering who the client was for this action. He's going to find out. Her flying skills alone saved her from being shot down. The start of the two did not go unnoticed.
When they got to Kashyyyk, they wrote a report and sent it to Master Windu over a secure frequency. That was it in that area of the Trade Federation. The next area was on and there were some.
After a two-day break, they gathered their belongings and boarded the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser. Target planet; Ryndellia. It wasn't close, but you could take a look at Utapau, the spies have reported that the Grievous is stopping.
Anakin felt the desire to go to nearby Naboo, but knew that it would only remain a wish. He loved Naboo, the most beautiful planet in the galaxy, his wife's home.
The search for Grievous, or just a hint, was unsuccessful. The decision to fly through enemy territory would save time, but it would also involve risks. The cruiser was a transport ship, but they wanted to get to Eriadu unnoticed. Eriadu was an important trading port and crossroads of the trade ruts. It was always very lively and busy, you wouldn't notice if two Jedis were there, but they would be able to watch which ships arrive and leave. Conversations with pilots of all kinds can and must be held, which will take some time. This sector would cost her months. Not good, Anakin thought.
Another large area on the other side of the galaxy was waiting to be explored, very time consuming. The planets Dathomir and Borosk will be the stations. From there they will be able to observe the territory of the Trade Federation. It was planned to smuggle into Botajef from Dathomir and scout out the shipyards and their activities, a very risky operation. Anakin knew that he shouldn't be distracted, what they were up to, was no easy task.
Palpatine had people working for him everywhere: spies. They were still in the service of the Republic, so Obi-Wan could get the information.
Neither Anakin nor Obi-Wan looked forward to Dathomir. A disgusting planet with disgusting inhabitants. There was only one small garrison that had to be constantly defended. The trip to Botajef was worth it. The shipyards were already working beyond their capacity, one star destroyer after the other left the shipyard. Fortunately, they don't have any problems with entry and exit. The recordings they made will surely appeal to Palpatine as the Trade Federation canceled further negotiations.
It was an arduous mission, and when Anakin and Obi-Wan finally got back to Coruscant, Anakin was nearly nineteen years old.
Padmé was buried in her work in Anakin's absence. She got up, showered, had breakfast, and went to the Senate. She worked hard late into the night and when she got home she undressed and went straight to bed. Sometimes she took a drink to fall asleep faster, but most of the time she was so tired that she didn't need a drink. She missed Anakin very much, not just physically. His, sometimes childish behavior, his humor, which always amused her, was missing and she felt empty and lonely. Not even her best friend Dormé managed to alleviate her sadness, you could almost say lethargy. The worst part was Padmé worked non-stop, even on Saturdays and Sundays, and didn't take a day off. Exceptions were the days on which she had to go to Palpatine. She could avoid him, but when it came to reports or the work of the committees, Palpatine wanted regular updates, then she couldn't refuse to meet him, he was the chancellor. It was precisely on those days that she had a headache, a severe headache. Then she had to take time off and stay in bed at home. Especially these days were difficult, not because of the pain she was in, no, she was thinking of her husband. If he were there, he would take her in his arms, comfort her and kiss her until the pain is gone, but he wasn't there and she didn't know when he would be back. Sometimes she would take his cape and wrap herself in it, it smelled of him. She refused to think that anything could happen to him, that he won't come back at all. She cried a lot on days like this, the nights after that were the hell. Exactly what she feared, exactly what she refused to think about, she went through in a dream ... ..that he was captured, that he had disappeared, that he was wounded, that he died. Then she woke up, bathed in sweat after the nightmare and could not calm down for a long time, even when Dormé hugged and comforted her.
When Anakin was gone for a month, she was summoned by the Jedi Council. She knew what was coming. She just didn't know why they couldn't wait for Anakin to be back so they could show up together. It seemed to her, that Jedi Council wanted to speak to her alone to put pressure on her to leave Anakin. She declined the subpoena, saying that when it comes to her wedding to Anakin, she does not want to appear without Anakin, it ultimately affected both of them. Master Windu wasn't exactly pleased. He always thought he could determine, exert pressure, influence. It was not like that with Senator Amidala, she was not a defenseless girl and she knew what she wanted and how to defend it.
After seven long months, Anakin finally came home. Nobody knew of the arrival. Anakin and Obi-Wan were allowed to unpack their things, take a shower, change clothes and then had to appear before the High Council. The presentation of the mission was only a summary; productive reports from both of them were expected. That still had to be written. Fortunately, Anakin was not a chaotic person, he wrote a little report every day of the mission, so he had everything together and, at all, not even a little thing was forgotten. His Master had taught him that. Now the only thing missing was the compilation in a form. It had only cost him a few hours and was handed in. His Master and Jedi Council were satisfied.
That night he snuck out of the temple after Obi-Wan went to see Siri, who was also back from a mission. He got into his speeder and drove away. He docked on the porch of Republika 500. It was dark everywhere, no wonder it was shortly before midnight. He entered the code and went into the living room. In the kitchen, only the blue emergency lighting was on, C3PO was on the charging station. He went quietly into the bedroom where the door was open. There lay his Angel asleep. He put his cape over the chair and began to loosen the facility belt, which fell off. She stirred but did not wake up. He continued to undress and when he was naked he slipped into bed and started kissing her arms, neck and face.
"Dear Gods of Naboo, thank you for making it possible, even if in a dream, to feel him like this ... my dearest husband. Ani, when will you come back to me? "
"Your husband is next to you"
She opened her eyes and didn't believe what she saw. She literally pinched herself to make sure she wasn't dreaming.
"Ani ! You're there…"
... and started to cry, tears of happiness. Anakin was crying too. They hugged each other and stayed like that for a while. When the first excitement was over, they briefly told each other what had happened in the past few months and when the most important thing was said, they kissed…. more and more passionate and the longing of many months found fulfillment in several physical expressions of love that night.
