Chapter 9:
/ Last we Left off /
Khariya went though the snagging plants and grinned. It had been awhile that she had went up there and she wanted to know what was up there that made that sparkle. She fought through and found the old trail that she used to use as a child. Now it was just an old mud trail with overgrown weeds.
She reached the caves and began to carefully walk into one of them. Suddenly a hand appeared from behind the boulders and clamped onto her mouth, pulling her into the darkness.
/End Flashback/
Khariya struggled against the body that was pinned against her. Another hand grabbed both her wrists held them over her head. She tried to scream but his other hand had a firm grip against her jaw. All of a sudden, a familiar feeling went through her. Her whole body went limp with the feeling of complete paradise. Slowly and gradually, she could hear a voice.
"Shhh, Khari. It's just me," the voice whispered. She felt herself being carried deeper into the cave and heard the sound of a fire igniting. As quick as it came, the feeling disappeared and her grip on reality came back. Her vision cleared again and she saw Anakin leaning over her, caressing her face as she lay on the ground.
Anakin saw her eyes flutter open and instead of seeing relief that it was only him, her eyes grew afraid and she twisted away from him.
"Anakin, What are you doing??" she gasped. She stood up and retreated against the wall, leaving Anakin kneeling before her.
"Shhh, Khari. Please, come here." Anakin said soothingly offering his hand to her. "C'mon don't be scared." Khariya shook her head vigorously. "Khariya. Please." She couldn't seem to protect herself from the way Anakin looked at her. She could barely ignore his eyes on the way to the island. Slowly, she gave his hand to his and let him pull her down to her knees beside him.
"What are you doing, Ani?" she repeated. Anakin could barely stand seeing her afraid of him. She shouldn't have been afraid of him. He could never hurt her. Just looking at her, he knew he'd do anything to keep her from EVER being hurt by anyone.
"I needed to talk to you. and you've been avoiding me all day," Anakin said putting his hand cheek.
"There's nothing to talk about, Anakin. Please... Let me go," Khariya pleaded.
"No. there' so much to talk about and you have to listen to me."
"I give you a holodeck and someone to sleep with at night and now all of a sudden you just decide you're in love with me?! You know that that's not right. Padmé is the one you've been dreaming about for the past ten years. Padmé is the one whom you've been sent her to protect. It's Padmé you're suppose to be with. Not me."
"I told you already!" Anakin sighed in exasperation. "I don't care about Padmé. I mean I do! But I'm in love with you! The moment I saw you flirting with that trader who popped up out of nowhere, I realized it. I want YOU, Khariya. please, believe me."
All Khariya did was stare. Looking in his blue eyes, she knew that those were the words she'd been wanting to hear for so long. She was torn apart. She could be with Anakin and forever live happily ever after. But that couldn't possibly happen. Not with Padmé forever looking at them and ending up being hurt. She doesn't want Padmé hurt.
"What Padmé doesn't know won't hurt her," Anakin grinned, seeing the look in her eyes.
"But, what if she finds out, Ani? I couldn't live with myself if I hurt my sister," Khariya reasoned.
"What if you hurt me?" Anakin asked.
"I don't want that to happen either but..."
"Then be with me. If you don't want me to hurt. Khariya please!" Anakin begged. Without warning he leaned over and kissed Khariya. He leaned in until she was pinned the jagged walls kissing her with all the power he had. He slowly kissed his way down his neck and with each kiss begging her to take him. "I can make you happy, Khariya. I can give you ANYTHING. Even if you want to hide this from every person in this galaxy. Please. I just want to be with you." Anakin returned his lips to hers and felt her respond. "Okay?"
"Okay," Khariya sighed, giving in to Anakin. She could see his ecstatic smile as he heard her answer.
"Thank you, Khari. I'll make you happy. I swear. And I'll start right now," Anakin said mischievously pulling her down beneath him and kissing her with all the passion he had inside him.
