Where Am I Going To?
Part Two
Chapter Three
I feel your fingers
Cold on my shoulder
Your chilling touch
As it runs down my spine…
"You're making it very difficult to start the ship," she slowly seethed, as Luke had perched himself in her chair again.
Having brushed off his moment of terror, the young Skywalker shrugged. "That's kind of the idea."
"Will you please move?"
Getting up, he mockingly bowed her to the seat, and she went back to the controls.
She stopped very abruptly when she could suddenly feel him brushing away locks of her red gold hair from her shoulder, only to seductively plant a kiss at the joint of her neck and collar bone.
"If it's possible, you're prettier than I remember."
She bolted from the chair so fast as to make her head spin. "Don't you dare touch me."
He shrugged again. "You certainly didn't used to mind."
"Where do you get off? You are the most self-centered, conceited bastard ever born! And I hate you!"
Watching your eyes
As they invade my soul
Forbidden pleasures
I'm afraid to make mine…
At the touch of your hand
At the sound of your voice
At the moment your eyes meet mine
I am out of my mind
I am out of control
Full of feelings I can't define
"Besides," she finally managed in a cutting voice, "I thought you were in love with Princess Organa?"
Luke fumbled badly. "With Leia? Well, yes, I mean …she doesn't feel the same way."
So that was it. Shunned by his first choice, he was seducing the second. It enraged her and amused her all at the same time. She wanted to laugh in his face and say "So now you know what it feels like to be rejected. I hope it hurts!" It clearly hurt anyway, and she suddenly found herself reluctant to wish more pain on him.
It's a sin with a name
Like a hand in flame
And our senses proclaim
It's a dangerous game!
Still remaining silent, she felt monumentally distracted.
Damn him! Damn him straight to Sith Hell!
"Go, sit down…Over there, on that box," she finally ordered.
"I really did mean it, though. You're terribly pretty."
A darker dream
That has no ending
That's so unreal
You believe that it's true
She glanced at him briefly. "Look," she tried to reason. "Don't you think that this is a little bit inappropriate? We're hardly hormone driven teenagers anymore. Handle this responsibly."
He leaned back against the wall. "Well, you know what they say; friends don't sleep together, but enemies do."
"That's ridiculous," she spat. "That has got to be one of the stupidest things I ever heard."
"But you think it is true."
She glared coldly at him. "How would you know how I think? Since when have you been around long enough to know anything about me?"
A dance of death
Out of a mystery tale
The frightened princess
Doesn't know what to do!
He shrugged again. "It seems I'll be around for a while if we ever do take off. Provided I live, of course."
The thought did strike her that Luke could very well be right. Was she unknowingly leading him straight to his doom? Did it matter who did it, or under what circumstances?
Just so long as he died, it didn't matter. Because she wanted him to die. Right…
Luke raised an eyebrow in her direction. "Why the pale face, my dear?"
She shook her head, rubbing forlornly at her arms. "I'm feeling cold."
He smirked, walking calmly closer. "That's fixable." He gently wrapped his arms around her, pulling her against him. Her muscles stiffened. Why didn't she have the strength to fight back? The warmth of his touch was so soothing that she began to relax, leaning against him.
That had to stop right now.
Will the ghost go away?
Will she will them to stay?
Either way there's no way to win
She was able to break free for a moment, managing, "We aren't the same people we were when we tried this before."
He merely calmly pulled her right back in. "No, we're not."
"Please," she tried to beg. "Don't."
"Say stop, and I'll stop."
She couldn't say stop.
All I know is I'm lost
And I'm counting the cost
My emotions are in a spin
She finally pushed him away, turning back. She tried to speak, but merely shook her head.
Finding her composure, she slid the blaster out of it's holster, pointing back to the pilots chair.
"Sit down. Don't touch the controls, I'll get us ready for take off in a minute. And don't even think you can make me change my mind."
"I'm not trying to make you change your mind. Now, will you please put that revolting thing away?"
Her experience with the Force was not so great as his, but she was fairly competent in knowing if someone was lying to her or not. And from her former lover she sensed absolutely no ulterior motives. Could it be that the only thing he was really interested in was her?
I don't know who's to blame
It's a crime and a shame
But it's true all the same
It's a dangerous game!
Before she could do or say anything, he'd stood up. For every step he took, she retreated another, until her back was literally to the wall. Prying the blaster from her hands, he tossed it away, pausing to kiss her finger tips.
For as resolved as she'd been in making sure she was never romantically entangled with him again, she was quite the willing participant in their passionate kisses. What as the use in fighting what she'd always known for three years? He tried to say something at one point, but she merely silenced him with more kisses.
No one speaks
Not one word
But what words
Are in our eyes
Silence speaks
Loud and clear
All the words
We don't want to hear!
If it was indeed love, who was she to fight it? Men and women had been falling in love for uncountable millennia, and it would hardly be fitting for her to break the chain now.
"I'm yours," she finally whispered. "But you'd better not break my heart again."
At the touch of your hand
At the sound of your voice
At the moment your eyes meet mine
I am losing my mind
I am losing control
Fighting feelings I can't define
It's a sin with a name
No remorse and no shame
Fire furry and flame!
Cause the devil's to blame
And the angel's proclaim
It's a dangerous game….
To Be Continued…
I generally don't like putting song fics in the main body of the story, but I decided against doing this as a side line, so this was my only option, really. The song is called Dangerous Game," and is from the Frank Wildhorn musical "Jekyll and Hyde," because I am a Wildhorn nerd. Yes.
xInuyashaxangelx: Suffice to say that Luke doesn't think with his brain so much as another organ….
Stefanie2: Yeah, drunken intoxication's kinda weird too.
jedi71: Mara is cool. I suck at writing her, but she's cool.
MatrixSailorStarKnightZ: Aw, thanks
Stephanie C: Forget a knife, try a meat cleaver.
Jedi+Goddess: I actually did know they got married, but it took me a while to realize they had kids…um…
Really? What's it about? Sounds very interesting.
Insane Pineapple from Naboo: People will remain ignorant to that which they do not wish to acknowledge. It is sad, but true. That's why we have racism and censorship and all those icky things.
Well, he does get out of the situation, but not without nearly getting himself killed….
Doreen: And more looks foreword to you.
