And Another Chapter Goes Up lol. I really do appreciate all of your support

Thanks to everyone.

For the first 10 seconds that passed by as Anakin & Padme stood in the elevator of the Senatorial building, there was silence. Anakin began to reach out to her, however, Padme pulled away.

"Pad..Padme?"

Anakin was stunned. Why was she pulling away from him? He tried again, reaching for her left arm. She shifted away once more, and this time, she turned her back to him.

"Padme, I don't understand…why are you…"

"You said you told them! Anakin! Why in sith's HELL, would they…would they…."

Padme sunk to her knees before she could finish her sentence. Thoughts of Paulo flooded her mind instantly, and she felt sick to her stomach. There was no way she was going to be placed under the command of a man who tortured the living force out of her. Tears could not even make their way to her eyes, as she was shocked at the news she had received. Anakin knelt down beside her, and lifted her chin, gazing deeply into her sultry brown eyes. In the one glance she'd shown him, he felt her pain, he felt her desperation, her fear, and her anger.

"The council…they've confirmed that Paulo was no where near the Capital, any time in the last week"

Anakin's voice dropped to a soft whisper. Padme grasped his hand, his real hand, and brought it to her cheek. She than brought her gaze back to him, and began to shake.

"Ani…he was here. I….I know he was. Please…please…..pl..ple..ase"

Padme's voice began to crack, pleading with him to believe her. Her body went from a soft tremble, to a violent shake. Anakin quickly brought her to his chest, sobs racking her body violently. He softly began to whisper to her, running his flesh hand down her back, and his metallic, gloved hand through her hair.

"Run with me".

"What?"

Padme looked up from his chest immediately.

"Lets run".

The elevator doors slid open on the floor of their apartment.

"Anakin Skywalker, our duty is here. The chancellor said we had no choice…I can't, I will not put my personal feelings for this matter in front of my, our duty".

Anakin grasped her hand, leading her into their bedroom. Pulling her into a soft kiss, he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Padme, I won't let him touch you. Those bruises came from somewhere, I believe you".

Anakin whispered softly.

"My love, we leave tomorrow morning. How would you like to spend this last night in Coruscant before we return?"

Padme rested her head on his chest, pondering his question. Anakin, Anakin, Anakin…he was always putting his love for Padme above everything else, even his own life. Her love for him was unconditional. She looked into his eyes, and felt his fingers begin to slip under her soft gown, thinking about what she really wanted from him.

Anakin heard her begin to whimper softly as his fingers made their way further up the silky, sensual gown she had dressed in this evening.

"Anakin…I…"

"Padme it's alright, I'm not going to hurt you".

"It…it's not that, I'm…afraid of what he might do and….Oh Anakin what if he does do something….? What if you can't protect me?"

Concern began to rise in Padme's voice, and frustration.

"What…what if takes me away….away from you, Anakin I can't do this"

Padme's knees began to shake, and Anakin quickly swept her into his arms, and placed her on their bed. He placed his finger to her lips, slowly lowering himself over top of her shapely figure. He gently slanted his lips over hers, propping himself up with his arms on either side of her head. A tear gently slid down her cheek, and Anakin quickly brought his thumb to her cheek, brushing it away.

As Padme began to warm up to his attempt at making her forget what tomorrow would bring, and his sole purpose of making her focus on what would happen between them tonight, she gently ran her hands over his chest. Anakin slipped the straps of her gown down her shoulders, and placed soft, sultry kisses down her neck, and made his way closer to the dropping neckline of the gown, nipping at her soft flesh. Padme's breathing became shallow, as she knew fully well of what his intention was. Life began to take hold of her own hands, and she reached for his Jedi garments, pulling the layers off like she was unwrapping a present, to reveal his well toned upper body. As her hands marveled at his toned muscle, her eyes began to drown in his own. He slipped the gown down, letting it rest on her hips, and he immediately took advantage of what was now being offered to him.

Padme gasped as Anakin began massaging her breasts, her back arched into him, clearly wanting more of his touch. He than leaned down, taking her left nipple into his lips, and he began to suckle it intensely.

"Oh God…Ani…."

Padme whispered sweet nothings as he continued his assault on her. Anakin was determined to fill her mind with thoughts of only him, he wanted her to know her place in his life. He never wanted to hear the name Paulo from her lips ever again, especially out of fear. With Padme's dress still resting on her hips, Anakin had decided that he wasn't going to remove the garment; he was going to leave it on her. He slid his hand down her thigh, and slid it underneath the garment, teasing her now wet, sex. He stroked her gently at first, feeling her hips begin to respond to his touch.

Padme, now bucking softly against his hand, was whimpering, her eyes beginning to drift closed as she focused on the pleasure he was causing. Anakin watched her soft features, her lips quivering, and her body aching to be given more, from him.

"Does that feel good my love?"

He watched her nod, and he slipped his fingers inside her, rubbing, teasing her, and coaxing her moans and whimpers from her lips.

"Tell me my love, what do you want?"

He whispered gently, using his free hand to pull his own pants past his knees, revealing his hard, manhood. Padme's eyes widened, and he pulled her face to look at him.

"Padme, tell me what you want".

Padme's cries were becoming more forceful, and she was desperate for Anakin to release her.

"Please, Anakin, make me forget…"

"Forget what my love?"

As Anakin finished his sentence, he removed his fingers from her well, and forced his hardness inside of her wet sheath. He brought his hands to her hips, and he began to pump inside of her, slowly at first. Her hips began to pump against his, but he wouldn't allow it. He pressed his hands down on the sides of her hips, and continued to thrust inside of her, not letting her move.

"Oh gods Anakin I…please…."

Anakin watched her as she pleaded for him to let her move. All of a sudden, she felt…different. Anakin knew she'd noticed, and he began to pump into her harder. Her eyes shot a glance at him, and he smirked.

"How are you holding up?"

Padme shuddered. She felt his manipulation of the force, and he wasn't letting her release. He pumped harder, forcing himself inside of her deeply, he himself was having a hard time keeping himself from coming before she did. Tears began to threaten her, the pleasure was too much, and her body was aching.

"Anakin…let me go please….oh gods no deeper please….!"

Anakin continued to force himself further, and couldn't hold himself any longer.

"Scream for me Padme".

He released inside of her, groaning loudly, and he immediately released the force field from her body, and she came, screaming, and she held his body tightly to her own, trembling fiercely. Anakin collapsed on top of her, burying his head in her chest as he began to calm himself down. He gently caressed her back, feeling her tremble against him, he gently whispered to her, telling her everything would be okay.

As he removed himself from inside of her, he pulled a sheet over both of them, and stroked her cheek.

"We leave at dawn my love, you need rest" Anakin gently kissed her soft lips, before her eyes fluttered shut.

"Ani…I love you…" she gently whispered, and fell into a soft sleep.

Anakin brought her closer to his chest.

"I love you too".

Anakin's own thoughts wandered to tomorrow, they were to leave with Paulo. He would protect her, he swore it. He than joined Padme in her peaceful sleep, rejoicing in the fact that she was beside him now… safe.
