Chapter 25
The first thing Obi-Wan was aware of was cold. He tried to lift his arm but found that it was splinted. Curious. There was a tingling session in his arms and legs and back and he appeared to be covered with several blankets. He suddenly remembered...Bantalian...Naovi...He tried to sit up but found that his body was not cooperating. It also seemed he was naked.
"Don't try to get up," a voice said.
"Naovi," he gasped. Her face suddenly appeared above him. Her hair was tousled and there was a large bruise on her forehead. Like him, her tunic and trousers were missing and her robe was wrapped around her.
"Welcome back," she said softly her fingers warm against his brow.
"Naovi," he whispered again.
"I'm here Obi-Wan," she said. She was here, she was alive. Did that mean?
"Bantalian"
"Gone," she said calmly.
"Gone as in..."
"As in he won't be hurting either of us ever again. I'm free of him, forever"
"Are you all right?" Her face was free of all emotion. She seemed so calm but he sensed that she was still trying to come to terms with what had happened.
"I had no choice," she said her voice distant. "He would have killed me. I know that, but still..."
"You feel guilty about killing him?"
"I wonder if there was any other way," she said. "Someway to spare his life."
"It is good that you feel this way. If you felt nothing when you took his life..."
"I know," she said. "Feeling remorse keeps me on the path to the light side of the force. Now enough teaching, you need to rest."
"Where are we?" he asked.
"On your ship."
"Are we on our way to Coruscant?"
"No," she said. "The flying circuits were destroyed. I sent a message to Coruscant they're sending someone to retrieve us. They'll be here in a few hours. Until then we're on our own."
"He did something. I tried to use the force but I couldn't feel it."
"He put up a blockade," Naovi told him. "The council had no idea where you were. When the queen of Naboo told the council you had not arrived they tried to reach you through the force. It was as though you didn't exist to them. But I could feel you.I could feel him torturing you. He wanted me to feel your pain."
"You knew it was a trap and you came anyway?" She looked away.
"I had to," she said. "I knew I would have to face him sooner or later. It was my destiny."
"You did not have to face him now. You could have waited until you were more prepared." Her fingers tensed around his hand. He saw a tear run down her face and she turned and looked at him.
"If you had died and I did nothing to prevent it it would have destroyed me." His heart skipped a beat as he felt the emotions flow though her.
"I love you, Obi-Wan," she whispered. He raised the hand that wasn't injured and cupped her face.
"Tell me again," he requested. She leaned down very close to him and kissed him tenderly.
"I love you," she said. "I think I always have. Since that first moment on the roof." She loved him. He had known that she did but hearing her say it, saying that she had loved him since she was four years old, Obi-Wan felt that his heart would burst with happiness. He reached up to her and pulled her down to kiss her. Her lips felt so warm and so soft. Here on this frozen hell, he felt like he was in heaven. She leaned against his shoulder.
"Why couldn't you tell me?" he asked stroking her hair. She sat up and wiped her eyes.
"I was afraid. I was so afraid if I let myself love you that it would lead me down a path I didn't want to go down. And I was afraid that it would put you in danger. And then you were put in danger and I knew that I couldn't let anything happen to you."
"I love you Naovi," he said. "I was so afraid he would hurt you."
"You were being hit by force lightning and you were worried about me?" she asked. She leaned down and kissed him again. He shivered.
"It's so cold," he said trembling. She tucked the blankets around him tighter and tried to rub some warth into his hands.
"The heaters are on full power," she said.
"I just can't get warm. When can we expect rescue?"
"Not for a few more hours." She looked thoughtful for a moment. He saw her brow raise just slightly.
"There may a way to warm both of us," she said.
"Oh, what is that?"
"Think about it," she said. He looked hard at her trying to sense her thoughts.
"It is a good idea," he said. "However, I'm afraid the cold has killed my ability to perform." Naovi smiled wickedly at him.
"Let's see if I can bring it back to life." She sat up and slid her robe from her shoulders. Her body was glorious.
"I'm afraid it is going to take more than the sight of your naked body for me to rise to the occasion." She smiled and leaned over him, kissing him firmly on the lips.
"I have not even started," she whispered in his ear. He started to feel a bit of warmth as she kissed his neck and ran her hands under the blankets.
"Oh," he moaned as her fingers closed around his limp member. Even as she kissed his chest her fingers slid up and down his member. He felt the blood rush to his member as she stroked him. Naovi kissed her way down his chest leaving a trail of fire in her wake. Obi-Wan's head came off the cot as her lips closed around him. Her mouth was hot a moist.
"Oh Force, Naovi!" he yelled his fingers fisting in her hair as she ran her tongue along his length. He was throbbing and he was going to climax soon. He did not want to climax in her mouth.
"Inside you," he gasped. "I need to be inside you." She lifted her head and shifted so that she straddled him. She placed her hands on either side of his head and slid down until he was completely sheathed in her hot wetness. She arched her back and threw back her head as she moved over him.
"Obi-Wan!" she screamed as she rode him harder and harder. His wrapped his good arm around her neck and brought her down muffling his own screams against her mouth. He groaned as he shot his load into her hot channel. He felt Naovi's muscles spasm around him and she collapsed on top of him careful to keep her weight off of him.
"A little warmer now Obi-Wan?" she asked him through pants.
"Absolutely," he said. "Get under the blankets before you freeze." She shifted so that she was next to him and pulled the blankets over both of them. With her body next to him and her head against his shoulder he felt warmer than he had since crashing on this infernal planet. With her in his arms it was easy to forget the outside world.
"They will be here soon," she said quietly stroking his chest hair.
"Yes," he said quietly.
"I had Artoo send up a homing beacon so they can find us easier."
"That's good," he said. She leaned up so she could look at him.
"What are we going to do? The council will not allow us to be together."
"We could leave the order. Leave Coruscant. Go somewhere just the two of us." Naovi was very quiet for a long time.
"He showed me what it could be like," she said a long silence.
"Bantalian?"
"He showed me what it could be like if we weren't Jedi. He put me into that world, let me feel it. I was on Java Cruz. I saw the lake from the balcony of our house. We were married. There was a wedding picture. I looked at it and could remember our wedding. And there was..." she choked a little and he felt her hot tears on his chest.
"What?" he asked gently.
"There was a little boy. Our little boy."
"We had a son?"
"He was so beautiful. He looked like you only his eyes were dark."
"He had your eyes," Obi-Wan murmured.
"There's more. I was pregnant"
"Pregnant?"
"I could feel the child inside me. I think it was a girl."
"A son and a daughter," Obi-Wan murmured.
"It was so wonderful. There was so much love. There was a sense of peace. I wanted it so much. I wanted you, the house, the life, the children. All I had to do was turn away from the light."
"But you chose the light."
"It was my sacrifice. The sacrifice that every Jedi must make. To turn away from the easy path and choose the life of a Jedi"
"You were willing to give me up, to be a Jedi?" he questioned.
"I had to. I love you Obi-Wan and I always will. But to stay true to the path I had to let you go."
"You are far wiser than I am my padawan, my love. No matter what the council says, I will love you till the day I die. I want you to remember that." She leaned down and kissed him.
"Give me something to remember," she begged. He ran his fingers through her hair, marking the feel of each strand on his memory. They made love slowly and tenderly savoring each moment, knowing that this could be the last time they would ever be together.
Don't panic, we're not done yet
