Anakin took the drink angrily from the serving droid; he had been flying for 18 hours straight and was beginning to get restless. The Council had refused him a solo mission and ordered him to Naboo, as back-up to his Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Master Windu had said it would improve his relations with Jedi and give him a greater understanding of the interactions between Jedi and diplomats. Anakin heard through their lies, they didn't trust him and once again his Master was holding him back. They were all afraid of his power, they knew he was better than any of them and that's what scared them!

"Jedi Skywalker, we are about to land, would you like your luggage to be given to a valet?" The friendly droid chirped at him.
"Yes, have it taken to the Palace…and don't call ahead." The young man took the drink to his lips and downed it, he would show the council how much better he was than Obi-Wan, they would see.

Obi-Wan suppressed a giggle as Padme' ran her fingers through his auburn hair. They had been laid in the sweet Naboo grass for hours now. He had radioed the Palace and told them that she had asked him to give her a private tour of the security arrangements and not to worry about her absence. The rouse had allowed them time to talk, but they ended up running through the fields, loosing all inhibition and now exhausted they lay in the tall grass, side by side playing and talking.
The older man leaned in, kissing her tenderly; there was none of the hunger or pain of their previous kisses. The Jedi had become accustomed to their intimacy faster than he would have liked to admit.
"You have a beautiful home world Padme', it must have been nice to grow up in such a place. So full of the living force" Pulling his hands through the grass he shifted, light cream robes moving in the breeze as they talked.
"It was fun. But we were hardly allowed out, a lot of the time I spent indoors learning about leadership…when you are young you don't seem to appreciate the natural beauty…and when you are older you don't have time to!" Kenobi gave a burst of laughter, she was correct. Her insight sometimes shocked him; he never expected such profound knowledge from one so young…especially in a non-force sensitive. "I suppose it is true, that is why I accepted the station here, partially anyway" he smiled, knowing she knew he had wanted to be close to her, "Naboo is filled with the living force, I have loved it for a very long time." The subtle double meaning of his words always comforted Padme'…he was the only Jedi she knew to speak in double meanings without becoming condescending.
"You were always a valuable credit to Naboo; it must have been hard with your leaving so long. I barely recognized you when you returned, though I was happy for your return"
The warm sun beating down onto his face he was once again happy, his previous regrets of the kiss they had shared were obliterated. Despite the fact he was indulging on the most forbidden temptation of the Jedi he felt happiness. Never before had he felt so at peace.

"I am happy to have returned as well, I just hope I will be posted here for a time. To leave again would be…unbearable"

The Senator took his hand in hers, as if the simple action would keep him with her longer. "We should head back; the Palace guard will become suspicious!"

"I think a few minutes more couldn't hurt" Obi-Wan smiled and this time rolled her over onto her back, leaning on a forearm so that his weight would not crush her. They had walked for a long time to ensure they would not be discovered and emboldened by this he kissed her passionately.
The action, taking her by surprise, forced the air from her and as they kissed she felt her body fight the oxygen deprivation to extend the romantic embrace. She couldn't think of anywhere else she could want to be…for the first time she was content.

Anakin stormed into the castle, eyes ablaze with anger. "I demand to see Senator Amidala and Knight Kenobi immediately!" The guard I in front of him blinked took a deep breath and in his most cordial tone replied.

"They are out on security business sir; may I suggest you wait in the foyer or the waiting rooms?"

Anakin glared across at the man, his dark robes reflecting a few rays of light into the darkness ahead of him. "No, this is Jedi business, I wish to see them right now!"

The guard nearly smiled, the boy was only a Padawan and from his attitude not a successful one. Jedi Kenobi was far more polite and in the middle of something right now so the guard decided to stall for him.
"Well I am sorry sir but they are currently engaged but I shall send a message as soon as the guard changes. Till then I would suggest you take a seat." The guard allowed a threatening edge to his voice, he wasn't going to be pushed around by a Padawan and he had his orders.
Anakin stomped his foot unconsciously. "Fine, I shall set my things down and look for them myself!" Without waiting for a reply he stormed off and the Guard tapped his radio.

Obi-Wan gave a lustful assault onto his loves lips, as his hands roamed across her back he suddenly stopped. His commLink buzzing for his attention. Breaking apart from Padme' he grabbed the metal device and with more than an ounce of impatience answered.

"General Kenobi?"

"Affirmative"

"A Jedi Padawan is coming to search for you."

"Description?"
"Blonde, tall, slightly hunched over and impatient Sir."
"What the blasts is he doing here! Thank you Typhoo."
"No issue Sir. Typhoo out."
Padme' pulled herself up, balancing on her elbows, "What was that about?"
"Anakin had come, and he's looking for us!" Obi-Wan allowed his annoyance to show, he had wanted to get away from the order not have it follow him!

"Why? I thought it was up to me whether or not I needed extra assistance!" Now she sat up, taking Kenobi's hadn into hers once again. "You don't think that they-"
"No. They would have messaged me, I sense something underhand here. I suggest we walk with caution, I would not want to risk your integrity." His head turned to her and his eyes spoke more words than his mouth ever could.
"I know you wouldn't" She took his head between her hands, "That is why I love you so" She kissed him again deeply. As they parted they rested their foreheads on one another and hands kept them in place.
"I love you Padme', more than I have ever or could ever love another being."

"And I love you Obi-Wan…"
"We have to go now, before Anakin finds us."
