Hi everyone! Wasn't it so annoying that the site was down for most of the
weekend? Anyway I'm back with another chapter. Thank you so much to Brown
eyes and Shnookersgab, I'm so glad that I have such loyal readers. I hope
you like this next one.
Her head was reeling.
She didn't know what had come over her.
When he'd put his hand on her waist and she'd looked into his eyes, she'd suddenly felt that she needed to be closer to him, to touch him.
Her heart had been racing so fast that she thought it might actually burst.
She'd become distracted by seeing how close his lips were to hers, she'd only needed to lean in a couple of inches and they would have been touching.
That knowledge had overwhelmed her and all she could think about was how his kiss would feel on her lips.
But unfortunately she hadn't been able to find out because one of her handmaidens had interrupted them.
10 minutes had now passed by since they'd left the dock and in that time all she'd done was watch Obi-Wan while he checked through things and made sure that the driver was sure of the directions.
They had four hours until they would reach the Chateau and she wished that Obi-Wan would just settle down and relax; his actions were putting her on edge.
He was in the process of moving some of their bags around so that she would have some more legroom and she couldn't take it anymore.
She reached out and put her hand on his forearm to gain his attention.
"Obi-Wan?"
His head snapped round and he looked at her and then slowly down where her hand lay.
She noticed that he felt tense.
"How have you been?"
He looked a little confused at first but then she saw him visibly relax.
"I've been fine m'lady. Busy but fine thank you for asking. And yourself?"
"Busy as well but I'm safe and healthy and now I'm in the company of my newest friend, so I'm fine."
A small but genuine smile made its way onto his face.
"That's good to hear. I'm glad that the stress of the situation hasn't got to you."
He went back to looking through some of the bags and moving them about a bit.
Everything went quiet and it seemed that he'd decided that that was it, conversation over.
She hoped not, she didn't think she'd be able to stand it if the rest of their journey was to be conducted in silence.
But then his voice rose into her ears again.
"Its just as well that we sent your handmaidens ahead with the supplies, otherwise there would have been no room at all for us to sit. What is all this stuff for?"
She smiled to his back.
"Obi-Wan, you don't know how long we could be stuck out there and besides you should always be prepared for every possible outcome."
He twisted his neck round so that he could see her.
"I understand this and I feel the same way. But Padme please explain to me how I managed to do this and only pack two bags and you have done it by packing six."
This time the smile he favoured her with reached his eyes and bared his teeth to her.
She was speechless for the moment and all she could do was laugh.

They'd been talking for an hour now and he felt much more relaxed.
It appeared that so was Padme, as she yawned for the 12th time in the last 10 minutes.
He chuckled a little at her stubbornness.
He'd been asking her for the last quarter of an hour if she was tired and needed to sleep but she'd kept answering in the negative.
But it was plainly obvious that sleep was waiting impatiently to claim her.
"Padme I really do think that you should get some rest. It's been a long few days for us both."
She was busy rubbing her eyes.
"I'm fine, really. Anyway, if we've both been busy then why shouldn't you go to sleep as well."
She only just managed to get the rest of her sentence out before she had to fight off another yawn.
He decided that it was only a matter of tie and so began moving a couple of bags to make a pillow and dug out a blanket.
"If I went to sleep as well then I wouldn't be doing my jobs now, would I?"
"I suppose not but nothing can happen to us out here, no one even knows that we're here."
"Ahh now that's where you're wrong, plenty of people know we're here and anything could happen."
He finished getting the blanket unfolded and then everything was ready.
"Come on Padme, go to sleep, you know you want to."
He patted the space he'd made for her to lay in.
"Lay down and go to sleep."
He watched her yawn again.
"Alright I will, but only if you lay down with me. I don't want to have to lay down there and stare at the back of your head all night. Besides you'll be able to help keep me warm."
So much for being relaxed.
He didn't know what to say or do.
He didn't think he could trust himself.
His mind was racing.
But then all thought ceased when he felt her hand on his cheek.
He started to panic a little as he watched her bring her face in closer to his.
He thought she was going to kiss him but then she brought her lips up to his ear instead.
"Please Obi-Wan."
It was barely above a whisper and he had to force himself to swallow the moan that was sure to come from his throat.
He couldn't refuse her.
"As you wish, m'lady."
She seemed delighted at her triumph.
He set about making his pillow and then laid down.
Padme looked down at him and it appeared that the truth of the situation had only just dawned on her as he saw the nervous look in her eyes.
But it soon disappeared as she laid herself down next to him.
They had to adjust their positions because it soon because apparent that it wasn't possible to lie two abreast in the narrow boat.
Padme made him stay on his back as she began to turn onto her side.
Her hands were resting on his chest as she hooked her left leg over his waist.
She then replaced her hands with her head.
She looked up at him.
"I hope you don't mind but the bag is uncomfortable."
He could only shake his head, as he didn't think he had the power to speak at the moment.
All he could do was pull the blanket over them.
He had to find his centre, he was letting his emotions control hi and that wasn't a good thing."

She was so tired and all she wanted to do was go to sleep.
His body was so tense.
There was no way that she'd be able to get to comfortable.
She began to fidget a bit and she heard him take in a deep breath, so she stopped for the time being.
She lay still, listening to the wild drumming of his heartbeat.
She realised that it almost matched the speed of her own at the moment.
It would see that she'd got part of her wish from back at the dock.
She was definitely touching him.
Although she hadn't expected it to happen like this.
She was beginning to have the strangest feelings.
Something was telling her that this is where she belonged, that she was meant to be with Obi-Wan like this.
That their bodies were meant to be intertwined like this.
It was telling her that she would need Obi-Wan above anyone else.
She couldn't explain it, she just knew that it was the truth.
She'd never felt anything like it before.
It scared her.
She felt Obi-Wan relax and his arm snake round her waist.
The movement both calmed and excited her.
She suddenly felt a little drowsy and could barely keep her eyes open.
Then she heard Obi-Wan's voice.
"Goodnight Padme."
"Goodnight Obi-Wan."
And with that she was unconscious and in a deep sleep.
Tbc.
Well I hope you liked it. I had a lot of trouble writing this part and I'm not entirely happy with the ending of it, let me know what you think. Thanks for reading and remember please review.
