Nula's P.O.V:
I wince, when I flutter my eyes open and can feel that Anakin's hand is resting on my hip, while his chest is against my back then go to move, only to feel slight pain shoot through me. Everything that happened with him, soon comes flooding back and lay back down as I cannot forget, how we had made love.
Father, forgive me.
I gone against the rules you taught me.
I have lain with a Sith and for some reason don't regret it.
Was it like this for you, when you fall in love with her?
Do you remember my mother – Shurina?
How the two of you met?
Father, forgive me.
I come out of my thoughts, those questions that will never be answered by my Father, when I feel him shift in his sleep as he wakes up from his deep sleep then hear him sitting up. I look over my shoulder at him, seeing that he is holding his metal hand to his forehead and thinking about something then he must sense I'm watching him.
"Nula…do you feel, alright? I didn't hurt…you, with this?" He asks me, turning his face to look at me and rolling to face him, see that he is looking at his metal hand – which glints slightly in the faint light streaming through the blinds, outside.
How should I answer that?
Should I tell him the truth?
That because I'm a Jedi and he's a Sith.
That we shouldn't have done it.
Yet, I want to be with him.
"No…I'm fine. Just, that I…"
Nula, what are you thinking?
Your committing yourself to him
And, yet I want to be able to help him and love him.
"…...want to be with you, Anakin. I want to be with you." I say, confessing what I feel deep, down inside and lower my head, feeling my hair fall in front of my face then hear him shifting, moving to be close to me.
His metal hand, gently tilts my chin up and soon his lips cover mine, making me bring my hands up to place on his chest. Just resting them on it, feeling it rise and fall under my hands then he lets go of my lips, stroking my hair back from my face.
"Sweet, Nula. Sweet, gentle Nula. I want to be with you as well." He says, taking hold of me and hugging me close to his warm, naked body with his arms around me as he buries his face in my neck.
I just allow him to hold me, tightly and feel that already that something new was starting between us that could change everything.
Holding, Nula close to him and burying his face in her neck, Anakin can feel that is heart is thudding against his ribcage. He had just confessed to this young woman – who he had just met – that he wanted to be with her and that deep down inside, that it was the right thing to do.
She could help him, find his children and help him defeat the darkness within him. The thought of having a family, with her would have to wait though, because if she became pregnant then it would be difficult to protect her from the Emperor's wrath.
He pulls himself back from her, looking at her – looking at those gentle eyes of her's – and strokes her cheek, lightly with his thumb then leaning down, kisses her again as she brings her hands to rest on his chest.
Right where his heart lay – which was gently thudding against his ribcage – and keeps on holding her close to him. The dragons tattooed on each-others back had now met, Bonded and become One.
And, nothing would break the Bond at all that was now forming between them both. Not now, not ever because it would always be strong between them.
