Chapter 10 – Naboo

As the night went on, Padme had fallen asleep, and the ship grew quiet. Anakin then slowly removed himself from beside his love, hearing the communicators at the front go off. Walking to the deck in only sleeping pants, he pushed the button that would allow him to answer the call.

"Anakin? Anakin are you there?" Obi Wan looked distressed.

"Yes Master?"

"How is everything going up there?"

Anakin stopped to ponder Obi-Wan's question. 'Should I tell him?' he thought to himself.

"Master, Paulo has vanished. I am reporting this as a distress signal; he had tried to assault Senator Amidala".

Anakin's voice dropped noticeably as he finished his sentence.

"What do you mean he vanished!" Obi-Wan replied, confusion clear in the tone of voice he was using.

"As in he is no longer on board, gone."

Anakin looked away from Obi-Wan, thinking of his angel softly sleeping in the very next quarter.

"We will be on Naboo in less then twenty minutes, once there, I will personally escort the senator to be with family, as it is clear the Separatist action is a set up".

Obi-Wan Kenobi ran thoough the idea in his mind. How had the Jedi order been so blind as to what was played right in front of them? Giving a heavy sigh, Obi-Wan nodded.

"Alright Anakin, once there, contact myself or Master Yoda, and we will give you instruction from there. Coming home clearly isn't an option right now."

"How so Master?"

"Paulo is probably expecting you and the senator to turn back, Naboo seems like the safest destination for her at the moment. You're mission is still the same, protect her and escort her to her home with her family, understood?"

"Yes Master, may the force be with you".

"And with you, Anakin".

Anakin pressed the button on the control pad, shutting down the image of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Returning to his quarters, he gently placed his hand on Padme's back, rubbing softly.

"My love, we're here".

Padme slowly stirred in her slumber, awakening as she felt Anakin's soft and soothing touch.

"Home Ani?" she smiled softly.

Anakin nodded, a smirk crossing his lips. He admired how she had a place to call home, while he called anywhere his mother was taken, or wherever she went, "Home". Dressing himself in his Jedi robes, Padme disappeared into the fresher, soon reappearing in a soft, blue gown. Taking a daring dip down her back, and hugging her hips, it flared down at the bottom, slightly brushing the floor. Unlike the last soft yellow dress she had worn, this gown had sleeves. Anakin's breath caught in his throat, taking in the beautiful sight of the elegant senator.

"Ani, how do you do that?" Padme simply stated.

Anakin laughed softly,

"Do what?"

Padme sighed, and put her hand to his cheek, gazing deeply into his soft, oceanic eyes.

"Look at me like you haven't seen me everyday for the past six months."

Anakin placed his hand over hers, and brought it to his lips, placing a soft kiss on her palm. Smiling down to her, he led himself out of the room, opening the door to the ship as it slowly descended on to the landing platform on Naboo. Pulling a soft hood over her head, Padme hid her features from everyone except for Anakin as they led themselves down the ramp, and made their way through the path ways and streets of Naboo, passing by extravagant buildings, beautiful flower arrangements, and fountains in the center of small towns.

"I can't believe you grew up here" Anakin stated in complete disbelief.

"It took some getting used to, I always wanted to see more" Padme replied.

"This took getting used to? Give me a break" Anakin chuckled.

Padme shook her head.

"It hasn't always been like this, not for me anyways".

Anakin found her words hard to believe, but decided that he wasn't going to bring up his own situation as a child, as it wasn't the most pleasant of topics. Turning a few corners, and following a stone path, they found themselves in front of a quiet, stone house. A lavish front yard, beautiful flowers on the window sills, and large windows and doors surrounded the place. It truly, for Padme, was home.

"This, is your house?" Anakin was intrigued.

"My family has always lived here, so yes, this is home".

Padme made her way up the steps, Anakin following closely behind. Knocking on the door, Padme stepped back. Only seconds later, the door began to slowly open.

"PADME!" children cried furiously.

Anakin was shocked. Padme and children? He had never witnessed it. Padme giggled, picking the children up one at a time to hug each of them.

"Anakin these are my sister Sola's children".

Anakin waved, flashing a soft smile to each of them, and giving a polite hello.

"Padme!"

Padme's elegant, and slightly shorter mother came running into the front hallway, greeting Padme with a big hug.

"Padme it's been so long since we've….and who is this young man!"

Padme's mom wasn't one to be nosy, but this was the first time Padme had ever brought any man home, yet alone anyone at all.

"This is Anakin". She stated, hoping everyone would leave it at that.

However, Sola, her sister, her mother, and her father were now all in the same breathing space, and had one million questions for Anakin.

"Your boyfriend!" The little child stated excitedly.

"I….." Padme hesitated.

In all truth, Anakin was her lover, and she wanted more than anything to tell everyone that. However she wasn't sure if it was safe enough, family or not. That was when Anakin decided to step in.

"Yes, I am". Anakin stated,

Reaching out to the small girl, and placing a kiss on her hand. Giggling softly, Padme's mother was charmed by the young man instantly.

"Anakin you are quite the gentlemen, Padme where did you find this one?"

Padme had to laugh.

"Are you two hungry?"

Anakin nodded.

"A little…."

"Oh god mom he's being polite, we're starving!" Padme interrupted, pushing Anakin into their kitchen to dine.

After dinner had commenced, and witty banter had been exchanged across the table, everyone sat quietly, enjoying the feel of full stomachs.

"So Anakin, I do believe those are Jedi robes?" Sola stated, eyeing him suspiciously.

Anakin nodded.

"I thought that Jedi weren't allowed to love". Sola pushed the subject further.

Anakin cleared his throat, and replied;

"I do love, I am human after all. However, Padme and I have been….keeping it a secret"

Anakin slowly finished.

Padme felt her father's stern gaze upon her, and looked down into her lap.

"A secret? M'boy that's a bold statement and a bold action" her father lectured.

Anakin looked at him directly,

"Sir, whether I know, she knows, or the entire world knows about our love, it still exists. Keeping it a secret does not, and trust me, does not mean I love her any less….I would do anything for her".

Padme felt tears pricking the backs of her eyes, and gently placed her napkin on the table.

"Padme, is she safe? Why has she come home all of a sudden?" her mother questioned.

Anakin wasn't going to lie, however he wasn't about to tell her parents over dinner that a crazed maniac had attempted to rape her either. Padme's eyes softly looked to Anakin, pleading with him not to tell them what had happened.

"She is safe, however the senator wanted to see her family. The Jedi order and the Senate granted her time to do so, as her service to the republic has been quite an investment on her part".

"Well that's wonderful, Padme" Sola said, clearly trying to change the subject.

"Now, who wants dessert?" Padme's mom chimed.

Later into the evening , Anakin and Padme retired to her room, as everyone said their goodnights. Once in the bedroom, and the door was shut, Padme leapt into Anakin's embrace, burying her face into his chest.

"Ani..oh my Ani thank you so much".

Anakin felt her tight grasp around his mid section, and placed a kiss on her cheek.

"What are you thanking me for?" Anakin questioned.

"For not telling them, I was so worried over dinner that….that you would say…about Paulo and…"

"No my love, I wouldn't do that, however , when you are ready, you need to tell them".

Padme slipped back a pace from his arms, and nodded. Anakin looked around her room, the walls painted a soft, sunlight color, and picture frames of her previous accomplishments on shelves and the top of her dresser, even a few on the walls themselves.

"Anakin, help me?"

Anakin reached to her back, untying the soft gown as it pooled to the floor. Padme was left in nothing but her bra and panties. Anakin watched the gown fall to the floor, but brought his gaze to her back. She was trembling.

"Padme…"

Anakin rested his flesh hand on her shoulder, slowly sliding it down her arm, to her lower back. She turned around, and pulled him to her soft lips for a long , endured kiss.

"What was that for my love?" Anakin questioned, however certainly not complaining.

"I haven't kissed you since we got off of the cruiser, I needed…." As she tried finishing her sentence, Anakin was already removing his Jedi robes. With his under garment still in tact, he pulled her close to him, very close. Padme moaned softly as he pressed his lips to hers, and slid his tongue into her mouth, coaxing her tongue to play with his.

"Ani…we can't….."

However her hands slowly reached up to play with the hair at the nape of his neck.

"Please Padme, let me be with you….let me have you". Anakin teased her.

Unable to resist him, and she never was able, he removed her bra, and began teasing her nipples. Slowly working his hands down to massage her breasts, bringing his mouth down, his tongue encircling each of her taut buds. She moaned profusely, arching her chest towards his mouth. While is mouth did wonders to her breasts, he slipped his hand between her legs, and began rubbing her soft, wet sex through her panties. Padme Amidala, was losing control, and her balance.

"Anakin…Anakin we …I can't, not here…they'll hear us….Oh Sith, Anakin please stop my love!"

Anakin slid two fingers past her panties, and inside her deep well, coaxing her moans and whimpers from her lips.

"Padme, hearing you beg has always been a weakness of mine"

She whimpered louder, hearing his soothing voice speak such words to her was intoxicating. Her hips began bucking against his hand, as she was now leaning back against the wall of her room.

"That's it….take it Padme"

Force he was good, why ….oh Ani why….

Her hips bucked harder, Anakin knew that he clearly had control of his lover. Her whimpers and moans were on the verge of becoming screams, however she couldn't let anyone in that house know that Anakin could satisfy her, and was satisfying her the way he clearly knew how.

When Anakin saw Padme almost refusing to come for him, he removed his fingers, and replaced them with his tongue. Massaging the inside of her wet walls, sucking gently on her soft flesh, and pressing his lips to her sensitive nub. That was the last straw.

Padme screamed, her hips bucking profusely on the wall, her hands reaching down to his head.

"Come for me my love….yes Padme….yes…that's it…come for me"

Anakin breathed into her, and she came, hard.

"Oh my love!" she shouted, her body convulsing against his grip.

For some reason, Padme was feeling guilty at this moment. She let herself slide down the wall into Anakin's embrace, and a soft tear slid down her cheek. Her body still shaking from the pleasure Anakin had caused her.

Kissing her neck gently, Anakin whispered,

"Padme…easy…it's okay, I'm here".

Padme wrapped her arms around his neck, and wept. Anakin scooped her into his arms, and placed her in the blankets of her large, queen sized bed, laying himself over her, and pulling the covers over both of them. Without warning, Anakin slipped his hard manhood into her well, and she gasped.

"Anakin…oh…."

He hushed her softly.

"Padme, Senator, I will only continue making love to you if you make me a promise…"

Padme nodded.

"You are not allowed, to scream".

Padme nodded profusely; almost positive she couldn't do it. However, Anakin began to thrust himself in and out of his lover. Padme's soft cries and moans filled the room, along with Anakin's moans and sighs. As the night went on, Anakin satisfied her until she was spent, and he had emptied himself inside of her. Kissing her forehead, he removed himself from her, and pulled her into his arms.

Padme's breathing grew shallow.

"I love…I love you Anakin Skywalker".

She proclaimed just as sleep took her into a deep darkness.

"And I you my love….and I you".

As the two fell into sleep, just outside of the quiet home in Naboo, stood Paulo, only paces away from the front door.
