The next morning, the couples woke up to calls from the Skywalkers' asking if they had brought warm weather clothing because of the season and that they were heading to family's lake house. Luke and Mara always had spare clothes for different weather conditions aboard the Knight Returns and were sure they could find some to fit Han and Leia. When the Skywalkers and their fiances showed up to Sola's house, they found a very flashy airspeeder waiting outside along with Sola, Ryoo, Traiten, Pooja, little Orme and two other children who had been on a special academic assignment the day before. They were a boy, Jex and a girl, Mei. They were twins and both about in their early teens while Orme was only eleven years old. Sola seemed invigorated and energetic. "Are we ready to go?" she asked eagerly and ushered everyone in the large air speeder. It was a limousine style air speeder with seats along the sides so that they all faced inwards and could converse.

The flight to lake house was very pleasant indeed. It was quite far away from Theed city and closer to the equator so, even though it was in the mountains, they could tell it was going to be quite warm. Luke was beginning to regret arriving in his black tunic, pants and boots and Mara, sensing his thoughts through their force bond and smirked. She had warn leggings under a simple green sundress that hugged her nicely. Han was wearing his signature outfit and Leia simply wore white sundress that was similar to Mara's in shape though slightly different. The teen aged children were grilling all of them on their deeds during the Rebellion against the Empire. "What was it like to face Darth Vader?" asked Mei to Luke. He chuckled and replied, "It was - well I confess it was scary. Darth Vader was powerful and he was the being that filled the galaxy with fear. Facing him the first time, I was in a starfighter and only knew by instinct that it was him. The second time, I was terrified and only did to protect Leia. The third time, I thought I was ready to face him. I was wrong. Not only that, I wanted vengeance against him for killing my father. That time, I nearly died. The forth and final time, I was ready. I had my head on straight."

"And you beat him!" said Jex excitedly. Luke faltered but then smiled and said, "Yes. From a certain point of view, I did beat him. But I wasn't alone. Mara was there with me."

Both of them turned their wide green eyes on the redheaded, emerald eyed beauty next to Luke who smiled prettily at them. "You faced Darth Vader too?" asked the Mei. Jex was blushing red and just staring open mouthed at her. "I'd met Vader a number of times. I used to work for the Empire."

Both children looked horrified, earning a disapproving look from their mother. Before she could chide them, Mara waved it away with a kind and understanding smile. "It's alright, Ryoo. Yes, I was a bad person and did some things that I'm not proud of. However, on my last mission for the Empire I met one of the Alliance's greatest heroes," and she discretely pointed at Luke behind one of her hands. Mei giggled as Mara continued, "He helped me find a better way to live and a better life in general and what the right thing to do was and how to do it."

"And then he asked you to marry him?"

Mara laughed and said, "Well - it wasn't immediately and a lot of stuff happened between then and when he asked me to marry him. Now we're engaged."

She leaned over and kissed Luke gently on the lips.

Mei sighed wistfully and murmured, "How romantic!"

Luke and Mara laughed, snuggling closer on the seat.

They were all shown to their rooms by a protocol droid after agreeing to all meet on the veranda on the lake side of the house. It was very warm and Mara took the leggings off and changed from light boots to small, soft and light shoes. Luke changed all together into a short-sleeved shirt and a pair of gray shorts. He too wore soft shoes rather than boots. When they all met on the veranda, they sat down at a table there and Sola said, "This house had been in my family for years and years. We don't visit it very often anymore. Since you are family, you are welcome to it whenever you wish."

Luke and Leia thanked her profusely but she just smiled and waved it away. "You're family and you're the children of my sister."

Tears suddenly began to fill her eyes. "I miss her so much sometimes. I think she'd be so proud of all that her children have done - saving the galaxy, rebuilding the Republic and now, the greatest adventure, getting married!"

Han and Mara wrapped an arm around each of their fiances and chuckled at each other. They were more alike than either would care to admit. Sola smiled and wiped her tears away. "Now, I am really curious about you two - the man and the woman who will be marrying my niece and nephew. I think you should tell me about yourselves."

Luke and Leia looked expectantly at their fiances. Han suddenly felt very uncomfortable and cleared his throat several times before Leia smiled and said, "We aren't going to judge you for your past, Han. It's okay."

Sola reached over and patted his knee. "You don't have to tell if you'd rather not."

That seemed to help Han settle a little. "Well it's not a great story or anything. I was raised on the streets of a Corellian spaceport among a motley collection of degenerates. I had very little schooling but it was enough. I was mostly educated in the school of petty crime. I raced swoops, both professionally and amateur and ran with a group of space pirates for awhile. It was a hard life."

Luke and Leia were both wrapped up in his words. They hadn't known much about Han before his short lived Imperial military career. It was all quite new to them. Han continued after a pause. "I made a lot of enemies back then and didn't have very many real friends. Eventually, I joined the Imperial Fleet as a pilot. That was short lived because there was a lot in the Empire that didn't sit right with me. I got drummed out and saved a Wookiee from slavery. I became smuggler after that. Eventually I met this cocky, punk of a farm kid, this old man and these two annoying droids who somehow, I can't for the life of me remember how, got me to help them out. We rescued this snippy little princess from the grip of Darth Vader and the Death Star before destroying the Death Star and the rest, as they say, is history."

Leia had plastered a mock glare on her face. "'Snippy little princess,' huh?"

Han nodded seriously, though his eyes twinkled. "Oh yeah. She was a real handful, always telling me that I needed to join her crazy rebellion and so on but, secretly, I think she just really liked having me around. Sure I could help out here and there but I don't think that was the REAL reas - Ouch! I'm only kidding, Leia!"

Sola and her family were chuckling behind closed hands as Leia elbowed Han in the ribs again. Her eyes were shining with pride and with happiness even as she elbowed him a couple more times for good measure. "Sometimes, I wonder what I see in you."

Han grinned and said, "And after careful Jedi meditation, what conclusion do you come to?"

Finally, her face gave way to a smile and she moved even closer to him, kissing the scar on his chin and saying, "I see a man as noble and honorable as there ever was in the galaxy, even if it took awhile for him to finally break through the scoundrel exterior."

Sola and here daughters and son-in-law were smiling but the kids were shifting and squirming uncomfortably. Sola said, "And what about you, Mara?"

Mara was even less comfortable about her past than Han was. A lot of her old defensive feelings began to try and surface but Luke's hand on hers, his left, warm and living hand, helped her reign them in. She took a deep breath and said, "Well I was raised in the Imperial Palace and trained from an extremely young age as an agent for the Emperor himself. It was my job to investigate accusations of corruption within the Imperial hierarchy and hunt them down to there source and see them eliminated in one way or another. It was a complete and utter surprise to me when the Emperor told me to hunt down and kill a rebel hero. After some investigating and information gathering, I set up a trap for Skywalker but it didn't really go as planned and Luke managed to escape. I pursued him to a crumby little swamp world and met an old Jedi Master named Yoda. He opened my eyes to what the Empire and the Emperor truly were. So I joined the rebellion, provided all the information I had and help on a mission to destroy the second Death Star. Luke and I surrendered and were taken before Vader and the Emperor."

She fell silent Sola nodded. "You have all done so much for this galaxy. I am so glad to see that you are finding happiness. Luke, Leia, your parents would be very, very proud of you."

An awkward silence followed before Sola clapped her hands and said, "Right! The weather is beautiful so why don't we go down to the lake and enjoy it? We can pick up this heavy talk when we are a little refreshed."

The three children jumped up with cheers and ran to their rooms to throw on swimming attire. The adults did the same. As soon as they got back to their guest room, Han wrapped Leia in his arms and kissed her tenderly. Around his lips, Leia murmured, "They'll be waiting for us;" but she didn't pull away, only pulled him into a more passionate kiss. Han separated for just a moment before saying, "Let them wait. They'll be okay."

Leia smiled into the kiss and ran her fingers through Han's thick brown hair. One of his hands wrapped around her slim waist while the other was on the back of her head. The kisses became hungrier and more possessive until they both pulled away, gasping. They both wanted more - so much more but it would be rude to keep their hostess waiting. Leia smiled and said, "We'll finish this conversation later, Captain Solo. In the mean time, we should get changed."

She opened her traveling bag, grabbed a few items before disappearing into the fresher. Han changed into a pair of dark blue swimming trunks and a pair of sandals, gathering up two soft towels, some UV burn block and a large blanket to set down on the beach. When he heard the fresher door open and turned around, Han was, not for the first or the last time, struck speechless. Leia wore a white, single piece bathing suit that was conservative perhaps but it still outlined her amazing figure and was also very low backed, ending a mere half dozen centimeters above her shapely rear. Around her waist was tied a piece of blue fabric like a skirt. One of her bare legs peaked out from underneath and Han was rethinking making her aunt and cousins waiting. Leia smiled and said, "Come on, Han. Get your imagination back in check or else everyone will see you pitching a tent;" as she tied her long brown hair back.

Han shook his head and said, "Can't help it. You're just so..." and he shook his head. Beautiful wasn't a strong enough word at this point. Leia wrapped an arm around his and they went out the door. Shola was already there, as were Pooja, Ryoo, Traiten and the three children. Luke and Mara were nowhere to be found. Frowning, Leia cast her mind out towards their room. When she got a glimpse of what was, or at least had been, taking them so long, she yanked her mind away and couldn't keep a blush from entering her cheeks. Han looked at her and cocked a dark eye brow and she whispered, "Remember how I said we shouldn't keep our hosts waiting? Well Luke and Mara apparently have no such scruples."

Han shook his head, chuckling to himself. It was another twenty minutes before Mara and Luke were ready. Luke wore a pair of gray trunks with a sleeveless black shirt and Mara wore a single piece, black bathing suit. It wasn't quite as conservative as Leia's, having a much lower neck line but was similar other than that. Her red hair was a single braid and Han could imagine why it was hard for Luke to keep his hands off her. Shola smiled and said, "Right. Let's head down to the beach."

They took fold-out chairs with them and hurried down to the beach. Luke was a little surprised to find that the sand on the beach was quite different than the sand on Tatooine. It was softer and less course. He wiggled his toes in it, much to Mara's amusement. Traiten had brought a ball to toss so he, Luke, Han and young Jex while the ladies decided to soak up the warm sun rays, laying out on blankets on the sand and watching as the men tossed the ball. Leia glanced over at Mara and asked in a casual voice, "So what took you so long to get changed?"

Mara shrugged and said, "I kept messing up braiding my hair and had to start over. I don't know what was going on but it sure was a pain."

Leia nodded knowingly. "I see - and the light marks on your neck are from... what exactly?"

Pooja and Ryoo were giggling as they eavesdropped. Mara blushed ever so slightly and then smirked and said, "Why from your brother of course."

Leia shook her head and dropped the subject. Mara leaned in and asked mischievously, "Want to hear about it?"

"NO! Why in the universe would I want to hear about you and my brother..." and she struggled to find an appropriate word. Mara supplied it casually, "Fooling around?"

"Yes, that;" said Leia. They all chuckled. After awhile, Mara felt restless and stood up and stretched. "I'm going for a swim - maybe I'll go out to that island."

Leia stood as well. "I'll come with. Want to see if the our men want to join us?"

Mara chuckled, "I was planning on it."

They dashed over and Mara intercepted the ball before Luke could catch it. Luke chuckled, "Very impressive."

Mara tossed it to Traiten and said, "I'm going to swim out to that island. Care to join me?"

Luke glanced over at his sister and chuckled. "Of course. Let's go."

While Traiten and Jex stayed tossing the ball, the couples dove into the water and began a leisurely swim out to the island. The water was wonderful and Luke, having spent most of his life on a desert planet, was always delighted to swim in it. It didn't take them long to get to the island. It wasn't large - not even half a square kilometer but immediately, the two couples split and explored a little. Han and Leia cut straight through the island until they came to a beach on the other side. It faced cliffs that rose almost a hundred meters up for kilometers in either direction. It was a lovely sight but that wasn't what Leia had in mind. Han put an arm around her and said, "I bet this place looks amazing at sunset or sunrise."

Leia smiled and kissed him in reply, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling them together. Han didn't fight it, only pulling her more firmly against himself and kissing her back arduously. After several long moments, they separated ever so slightly and Leia cocked an eyebrow suggestively, running one of her hands from the back of his head down his bare, muscular back and squeezing his rear. Han's eyes widened and his famous grin crossed his face. "Here?"

She nodded and maneuvered them back just under the fringe of the trees. "Right here;" she hissed slightly as his hands touched the bare skin of her back, brushing lightly up and down. Leia pulled him into another kiss and dropped her arms when his fingers gently took the two straps of her bathing suit.

Warning: Mature Content Starts Here!

Slowly, Han pulled the straps downward, pulling the rest of her suit down with them, when it had uncovered her delicious upper body, he let it hang as it was, reaching next for the band the held her long brown hair in a tail. Gently, he freed her glorious brown hair, running his fingers through it slowly. Han loved Leia's hair. It was so silky and so soft and it always smelled so good. Leia moaned with pleasure at the light, almost massaging tugging feeling that Han's fingers caused. She loved him running his fingers through her hair almost as much as he enjoyed doing it. Heat began to fill her very core and she jumped, wrapping her legs around his waist and continuing to kiss him ravenously. Han gently laid her down on a grassier patch of sand. Her suit was wrapped around her waist and Han began to lovely assail her neck with loving kisses, nipping at her ears as well before continued down. Teasingly, he sucked a little at her collar bones. "Don't go leaving any marks that people will see;" Leia moaned even though she loved it when he did. Han chuckled deep in his throat, a deep, sexy sound that made her shiver all over. He whispered as he traveled slowly down her chest, "But you love it when I leave marks on you."

"Yes;" she gasped as he gave the tiniest little nip at the slope of one of her breasts. "but in my suit, everyone will see it if you leave it up there."

Han chuckled again, "Then I'll leave one right her;" and he sucked centimeters above one of her pink nipples, causing her to gasp his name out. "Han, please! Stop teasing me!"

"Oh but it's so much fun;" he chuckled again. Leia frowned and, with just a little help from the force, she flipped them over. She straddled his hips and purred, "You should know better than to tease a Jedi."

She shimmied backwards on her knees and slowly pulled Han's trunks done, allowing his already hard and impressive manhood to rise like a flag pole. She carefully took it in her hand and began to stroke at a slow pace. Han bucked and groaned. "Force, Leia - I thought Jedi didn't seek revenge!"

Leia grinned wickedly and said, "I may be a Jedi but I'm also a politician and we seek payback all the time. Gotta keep my internal balance."

She watched as Han just lay and enjoyed the slow teasing, his jaw clenched and his large hands grabbing fist fulls of grass. It was greatly arousing to watch him enjoy her ministrations and Leia felt gushing wetness come from her core. She needed that thick, throbbing member in her hand to be inside of her but she could wait a little longer if it meant teasing Han. She suddenly stopped and stood. Han looked up at her and watched, his eyes smoldering with desire as she slowly, teasingly lowered the white bathing suit from around her waist, hanging it on a nearby bush. She stood before him, nude and magnificent. Han tried to sit up but she pounced on him and said, "Uh-uh. I'm on top this time."

Han never complained when Leia was on top. The view was great and she enjoyed being in control as much as he did. She pulled his trucks the rest of the way off and hung them by her suit. Slowly, she kissed her way up his body until she lay, length ways, atop his. Han savored the feeling of her nakedness against his, shivering as the hard tips of her nipples brushed their way up his body. Their lips met again and she kissed him hungrily, greedily, each one filled with impassioned heat and desire. Han's large hands wandered all over her bare body, brushing and kneading the strong and shapely muscles of her legs, her firm and wonderfully shaped rear, her smooth back and into her glorious brown hair. A series of whimpers and moans came from her as he did so. They separated and she whispered, "Mark me again, just make sure no one will see."

She sat up, one hand on his strong shoulder while the other grasped him hot and hard beneath her and maneuvered him into place. She froze as Han latched onto the underside of one of her breast and sucked hard, leaving a dark red mark there. He then latched onto one of her pink nipples, suckling, laving, nibbling and blowing on. She moaned and lowered herself onto his large manhood, moaning and gasping as he slid ever so slowly in. It was sublime torture for long moments before he was fully within her and they both had to regain their breath, holding it at the overwhelming sensations. Han sat up and wrapped her in his arms, kissing her ardently again and stealing her reacquired breath away. For sheer want of air, Leia separated and gasped, "If I pass out, neither of us will enjoy this as much. Let me breath for force sake."

Han chuckled but the chuckled died on his lips when she wriggled her hips in retaliation. He groaned with need each time she did and she grinned wickedly. "Just making sure I'm seated right."

Han gritted his teeth as she did it once again. Han reach around and grabbed her ass, using his strength to lift her. Leia chuckled and didn't resist as he nearly completely extracted himself from her before pushing her back down causing the both to utter gasping moans from the intense sensation. With a gentle push on his chest, Leia laid him back down and kissed him with one more tender kiss before she began moving her hips up and down on her own, riding his impressive manhood in just the right way. She started slowly, wishing to drag out their love making for as long as possible. Han's large hands continued to wonder her goddess-like body, brushing her from her thighs up her narrow hips and her slim waist. At her ribs, her moved them forward to cup her breasts and tweak the tight, pink nipples. Leia's moans were accented with gasps as he did. When one of his hands moved downward to massage clit with a finger, she nearly screamed with pleasure, covering her mouth and whimpering loudly into it. She didn't last long after that. Within minutes, her world shattered into a thousand, dancing, blissful sensations and her mind went fuzzy. In a daze, her eyes slightly crossed, she looked down at Han with a look of near dismay on her face. "How have you not finished yet?"

Han smiled tightly and said, "Sheer stubbornness - I refused to come before you did."

Leia chuckled and said, "Of course you did."

Suddenly, Han sat up and kissed her again, wrapping his arms around her slim body carefully yet surprisingly quickly, he got to his feet. Leia automatically wrapped her legs around his waist and returned his kiss until he grabber her by her rear and begun thrusting into her with gusto. Leia kept her arms tightly wrapped around him, one hand gripping the back of his head, the other covering her mouth still as she cried into her hand at the intensity of Han's movements. It was only a minute before she was lost again, shattered against the waves of pleasure. It was only seconds after that Han shuddered his own release and fell to his knees. Leia's legs were trembling almost violently and Han's muscle clenched and relaxed for several long minutes after. When Leia relaxed her legs, Han lay back in the grassy sand and pulled her on top of him. For a dozen long minutes, they lay there, murmuring tender words and promises of love and exchanging light, sweet kisses before they decided that it would be best to get dressed and head back.

They met Luke and Mara on way back and the two couples exchanged knowing and understanding looks before diving into the lake and swimming back. By the time they reached the shore, they had only been gone for an hour or maybe a little longer and Shola and her family were grinning knowingly at them. "Did you enjoy the island?" asked Traiten dryly. Leia smiled and said, "Yes, very much so."

"We got to the other side. I bet those cliffs look gorgeous during sunrise or sunset;" said Han. Sola laughed and said, "They do. It was mine and my husband's favorite place to go during the summer. It's also where your father and mother went after an assassination attempt on your mother's life. Your father was apparently tasked to protect her while Master Kenobi investigated the assassination attempt. From what I remember, they suddenly left Naboo. There was a lot of speculation as to why but I think it had something to do with your father's past since I learned long after that they had gone to Tatooine where he was born."

Luke and Leia shared a look and several thoughts. Leia asked, Do you think we should go to Tatooine as well?

No, not on this trip at least; replied Luke. We can take a trip there in the future but there's too much going on in the New Republic at the moment. Besides, at some point we do have two weddings to plan.

They both smiled to each other and Mara chuckled at them. Han looked slightly annoyed. "I think it's a little rude to hold a conversation that no one else could hear;" he said rather testily. Luke and Leia both blushed sheepishly and she said, "Sorry. It just kinda comes naturely and we forget we're doing it sometimes."

Sola waved it away. "Don't let it bother you, Dear. Let's go up and get some lunch."
