Chapter 17

Naovi had made a decision. Tonight was the night. She was ready. Everything they had done so far had been leading up to this. She knew that Obi-Wan was only holding back out of uncertainty of her readiness. But she knew her mind, and she knew her heart. Tonight she was going to make love with her Master. The thought of it make her cheeks flush. She wasn't afraid, only a little uncertain. She knew that Obi-Wan would not hurt her. She was just nervous. Maybe this was how a new bride felt on her wedding night, though she was hardly a virginal bride. Still it was fun to pretend, if only for a little while that she and Obi-Wan were just two people. As they walked to the restaurant her hand slipped easily into his. It was amazing how such a small guesture of affection which had once terrified her so much, was now second nature to her. They passed another couple on the street. They looked so in love with each other. The woman looked up at Naovi and then down at her and Obi-Wan's intertwined hands. She smiled at her and Naovi smiled back. No doubt the woman thought that she and Obi-Wan were a couple. The thought didn't bother her as much as she thought it might have. She wondered if Obi-Wan realized the same thing. If he did was he bothered by it? She knew that according to the rules of the Jedi Code, Jedi were forbidden to have romantic relationships. Yet, Obi-Wan seemed to know an awful lot about pleasuring a woman.
"Obi-Wan, may I ask you something?" she said after they had been seated and given thier order to their server.
"Certainly," he said. She fiddled with her napkin. How did one ask such a personal question?
"Jedi are forbidden to have sexual relationships, aren't they"
"Yes, but the council is making an exception in our case"
"I know, that's not what I meant"
"Then what did you mean"
"Well," she said hesitantly taking a sip of her drink to wet her suddenly dry throat. "You seem to know so much about...you know...I guess I was wondering where you learned how to"
"Pleasure a woman?" he asked her.
"Yes," she said. Obi-Wan smiled at her discomfort.
"One does not need to have done something to know how it is done"
"So then how does one learn?" she asked.
"One reads," he said sipping his drink. The tone of his voice and the color in his face told her that there was more to this than met the eye.
"They have books on this in the Jedi Archives, do they?" she said raising one eyebrow. Obi-Wan shifted uncomfortably in his seat.
"Not exactly," he said, the fruity concoction in his glass suddenly becoming very interesting.
"So where did you find this sort of reading material?" she demanded. "Come on tell me"
"You promise not to tell anyone?" he asked her.
"I promise"
"All right. Let's just say that the mind of a sixteen year old human boy is very curious and Qui-Gonn wasn't exactly eager to explain the fact of life to a hormonal padawan"
"So he gave you books?" Naovi asked laughing. Obi-Wan glared at her but she couldn't help herself. After she had calmed down she asked her next question.
"So have you ever actually done it with anyone?" Obi-Wan's face suddenly seemed to match his flame colored shirt.
"Yes, I have," he said softly. Suddenly he could not meet her eye. She shouldn't have asked. It was none of her business. No, it was. She had a right to know.
"Who was she?" she asked gently.
"A pleasure worker," he said. "I was only with her once. Qui-Gonn and I had come back to Coruscant after a particularly hard mission and a couple other padawans and I thought it would be fun to break away from our Masters and go out in the city. I was only seventeen and didn't really know what I was doing. The only things I knew about sex were what I'd read in books." Naovi was stunned. She knew about places like the one he was talking about of course.
"Did anyone ever find out?" she asked.
"Qui-Gonn knew. I couldn't hide anything from him. He never told the council though. He told me since he was no stranger to the place we'd gone, it would be better if it remained our secret"
"Qui-Gonn..." Naovi stuttered. "I would think such actions were forbidden by the council." Obi-Wan shrugged.
"Qui-Gonn defied the council on everything else, why not this. Besides, it's not forbidden by the council, just frowned upon. The policy is don't ask, don't tell." Naovi was amazed. She didn't know what to say.
"Are you all right?" he asked her.
"A little stunned, but yes, I'm all right"
"Does it bother you that you won't be my first?" he asked. "No why should it? I'm not exactly a virgin either." Actually, it somewhat relieved her to know that he wasn't a virgin. It made her feel more connected to him.
"I would hate for you to think less of me for something I did as a teenager"
"I would never think less of you," she said. He was seventeen, she thought. The same age she was now. Somehow it seemed to fit. They didn't speak anymore as their food had arrived. Naovi's stomach was fluttering so much she could barely swallow a bite. 'Oh, Force,' she said quietly to herself, 'please don't let me lose my nerve.' Her hands were trembling as they walked back to the inn. She balled them into fists and held them at her sides, lest Obi-Wan see them. She couldn't let him think she had any doubts. Upon reaching the room she decided to blow caution to the wind and seized Obi-Wan in a deep fiery kiss. There was no fear, no hesitation, only heat. Heat that shot from deep in her belly to the top of her head. Her arms wrapped around his neck and she pressed her body close. Her lips parted to allow him to plunder the depths of her mouth. His hands closed around her waist and stroked up the side of her body. She pushed his tunic off of his shoulders, wanting, no needing to feel his skin under her hands. His hands moved up her arms to her shoulders. He hesitated as his fingers touched the straps of her dress. 'Yes,' Naovi sent him through the force. 'See me, touch me, take me'
'Are you absolutely sure?' she heard his uncertainty in her head. She pulled away and looked deep into his eyes. She thought she might drown in those deep blue pools of light.
"Yes," she said.
