First of all I want to thank the reviewers! I'm glad you liked it!
Please, don't get mad about my grammar and things like that, cause English is not my native language.
Hope you'll enjoy the story! We'll get to the wedding pretty soon!
-You shouldn't be here, - Padme said avoiding his look.
-Why? – Anakin stepped to her with a smile. – I want to be with you, Padme. I want to kiss you and hold you in my arms and…
-Say no more! – Padme raised her voice and Anakin looked at her surprised.
-What happened, Padme?
-I lied to you, - she said. – I'm sorry, but I did.
-What do you mean you lied?
-I… - Padme turned away from him. – I told you that I loved you. But that's not true. I… I was scared of death and that's why I said that.
-That doesn't make any sense, - Anakin said in a low voice. – I don't understand. I don't believe you.
-You have to, - Padme said trying to hide her tears. – I'm sorry I was that irresponsible…
-Stop it, Padme, - Anakin sounded like begging. – Please stop it. I know that what you said is true cause I… I can feel it in you…
-Annie, I know it's hard, but we'll have to forget about it, - Padme said with tears running down her cheeks. – You'll deal with that… A bit later Annie… when you grow up you'll realize I was right…
-So I'm not mature enough? – Padme saw rage in his eyes.
-You're like a baby! We can't be together Annie! We can't!
-Don't you ever call me that again! – Anakin pressed her to the wall. – My name is Anakin and I'm not 9 anymore!
-I know that but… - Padme murmured. He was so close to her. And he was so strong. She could do nothing but realize that she was… turned on by this… maybe for the first time in her life…
-You don't know! – Anakin grumbled. – You think I'm not a man? Well I'll prove you're wrong.
With that he took her in his arms, carried her inside the room and threw on the bed.
-What are you… what are you gonna do? – Padme was looking at him with her eyes open wide.
-Something that only grownups do, be sure, - he said and ripped the shirt on himself throwing it away. Padme couldn't help admiring his muscled chest… Meanwhile Anakin pressed her to the bed covering her with his body and started kissing her lips, her neck… His lips were everywhere and Padme would give anything for this moment to last forever. She realized that she was caressing him back, but couldn't and in fact really didn't want to stop.
It seemed they couldn't get enough of each other, but when Anakin started kissing her chest and it was time to remove her nightgown he suddenly stopped and looked at her with fear in his eyes.
Padme didn't even have time to breathe out and he was already in another corner of the room.
-O my God, Padme… I'm so sorry… I didn't mean to… I didn't want to… I mean I wanted to… How can I not want to…? I mean I'm terribly sorry…
He looked like he's gonna cry and Padme just smiled.
-I'm sorry too…- she got off the bed, came up to him and grabbed his hand. – I'm sorry that I lied. I'm sorry that I wasn't brave enough to accept my feelings to you.
-So… - Anakin squeezed her hand. – You do love me?
-I wish I didn't. But I do… I'm so in love with you, Anakin…
-O Padme… Please don't ever do that again to me…
-And you know what I'm also sorry about? – Padme looked at him slyly.
-What?
-That you've stopped…
-Stopped what?
-Something that only grownups do, - Padme said.
-Are you sure? – Anakin caressed her cheek. – Don't you wanna get married before we do that?
-I don't know… - Padme turned away from him. – We can wait… I guess…
But a second later she felt his kisses on her bare shoulder and couldn't help moaning. His hands caressed her thighs, her waist, suddenly they were all over her…
-No we can't… - Anakin whispered in her ear kissing it. – I know I can't.
She knew she couldn't either. She turned to him and their lips met in passionate kiss.
-I love you Padme… - Anakin whispered. – I love you so much…
-I love you too Anakin, - Padme moaned. Suddenly she stepped back and looked at Anakin eyes. Then she moved the straps that kept the gown on her. In a moment the gown was on the floor right at her feet. Anakin sighed admiring her perfection.
Slowly he kneeled down in front of her and said:
-Padme, I've never loved any woman in my life. You are the only person I love. And I will forever. I swear my fidelity to you. I'll do whatever it takes to make you happy. I'll give my life…I'll…
Padme kneeled down in front of him too and covered his mouth with her hand.
-I'm not a Jedi and I can't read you mind, - she whispered. – But I'm a woman who loves you more than anything in this life. You don't need to say anything to me because I already know.
She kissed him and in each others arms they fell on the floor.
Anakin was the first to wake up. He looked around the room. Their clothes were all over it, he smiled. Padme was still sleeping. With his real hand Anakin touched her soft beautiful hair. He wanted her to wake up, but couldn't help looking at her while she was asleep, because she was unbelievably gorgeous. Why was it all so hard? Why couldn't he just scream about his love so everyone would know about his happiness? What is so wrong with loving a woman? And he'll be able to fulfill his Jedi duties too… Why does it have to be forbidden?
-Anakin… - Padme opened her eyes and turned to him.
-Good morning, - he whispered.
She smiled and leaned to kiss him.
-How do you feel? Are you ok? – Anakin asked caressing her bare shoulder. – I didn't mean to hurt you… you know…
-Of course I know! – Padme said. – And I'm ok, don't worry.
-I want to ask you something?
-What?
-Tell me, - Anakin squeezed her hand. – Did you ever think about me in all those years?
-I did. How could I forget what you did for my planet and my people!
-Padme, - Anakin looked right into her eyes. – I mean another thing you know.
Padme sighed.
-Anakin, remember that ten years ago you were only nine… You behaved just like other boys… well… mostly. And I had to grow up really early, I had to rule the planet. And ten years ago I didn't think of love…
-I fell in love with you the moment I saw you, - he said bitterly.
-Then how come you still joined the order of Jedies? – she asked slyly. – Back then we both had issues. And we still do.
-You know what I just can't understand? – Anakin clasped Padme to his bosom. 0 Why does it have to be so wrong when it feels so right?
-I know what you mean… - she said caressing his shoulder.
-Padme! Are you up? – they heard Sola's voice behind the door and looked at each other in fear.
-What do we do now? – Padme whispered.
Anakin moved his hand and the next second the Force brought all his clothes to him. He started getting dressed very quickly.
-You know you could have helped me too, - Padme grumbled, hurrying to get her clothes too.
-I'll go to my room now, - Anakin whispered and gave her a quick but very soft kiss before disappearing on a balcony.
-Padme! Are you there? – Sola asked.
-Yeah, - Padme opened the door. – I was in the bathroom.
