Author's Notes
It's been a long time friends, but finally, I am posting a new Anakin and Padme fanfiction story. My story is a continuation of my AU Anidala series. I want to share that my first three stories were written and posted before the Clone Wars series came out. What we know as fans about these characters was a lot less prior to that series airing. However, to keep with the spirit of the way I have written these magnificent beloved characters in my past three stories, I have decided to keep it the same. So this story will not refer to story material from the Clone Wars and after that.
The first story in the series is Last Night of Innocence, than The Day After Innocence, followed by Honeymoon on Naboo, and now this new story. This story will be posted in several chapters. I have not decided how many, but it will be at least four chapters. This chapter has earned it a hot steamy M rating, enjoy. However, not all chapters in this story will earn an M rating.
Lastly, thank you to everyone that has been following the updates I have posted about this story for the past few months. I greatly appreciate everyone who has favorited my stories and me as an author. Thank you so much for your reviews as well. I look forward to seeing your reaction to this first chapter. I have been working on it for a couple of months, it's a long one but a goodie.
AU Sequel to Last Night of Innocence, The Day After Innocence, and Honeymoon on Naboo.
Beyond the Red Curtain: Chapter 1
The sun is not shining through, but that does not dull the happy euphoric mood Anakin Skywalker and Padme Skywalker are feeling this morning. The young newlywed couple is sitting at a table located on the balcony of their beautiful Lake Country Retreat home on Padme's home planet of Naboo. The balcony is where it all began to fall into place for Anakin and Padme. This is where they shared their first kiss, made love for the first time losing their virginity to one another, and conceived their soon to be born baby.
Padme is wearing a short white nightgown with small light pink and baby blue flowers. Anakin is shirtless wearing tan sleep pants. R2D2 rolls over to them holding the freshly baked mixed fruit bread Padme has just baked with Anakin's help in the kitchen. In an attempt to enjoy more privacy, the young couple has opted to not employ servants and have only their two beloved droids to assist them. A bowl of shuura fruit salad and a large pitcher of ice-cold citrus juice is already on the table. C3PO follows R2D2 with two plates, napkins, and silverware.
Now being eight months pregnant, Padme has found some of the simplest things have become much more challenging, such as finding a comfortable position to sleep in. Many nights to help her sleep, Anakin would have Padme lie on her side and rub the ache in her lower back among other parts of her body that were sore. At times this would of course lead to the young couple opting to stay up and engage in much more fun activities involving no clothing. Thankfully, Anakin has been able to be there for Padme during the most challenging parts of her pregnancy. Anakin is off duty from the Jedi Order. He is a newly knighted Jedi. However, this new title almost did not happen. The Jedi demanded to Anakin to end his relationship with Padme and as a result, he left the Order. But after Anakin and his former Master, Obi-Wan's Kenobi defeated the Dark Lord of the Sith Chancellor Palpatine, Darth Sidious, and his Sith apprentice Count Dooku, Lord Tyranus, the Jedi Council had a change of heart.
The Jedi Council had finally amended the Jedi Code to allow Jedi Masters, Jedi, and Padawans to seek relationships with attachment. The Jedi Council would allow members of the Order to marry and raise a family if they agreed that the relationship was beneficial to a Jedi's life. There was also the miracle that Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn had come back through the Force to speak to Obi-Wan. His former Master had sternly warned him that the Sith would try to seduce Anakin to turn to the dark side. The Clone Wars were over and the clones had been euthanized. The future was looking bright now that the Order had finally amended the Jedi Code. The intergalactic senate still had a lot to figure out, but things appeared to be moving back on the right path having recently elected Senator Bail Organa as the new Supreme Chancellor to lead the Republic.
"3PO and R2. Anakin and I want to talk to you about the incident that happened last night." Padme replied to their two beloved droids.
"What incident is that Mistress Padme? Oh, are you referring to R2 and I seeing you both naked in your bedroom?" 3PO replied.
Padme tried to speak but 3PO continued.
"Why would you and Master Anakin ever want to be naked around each other? I was naked for years on Tatooine after Master Anakin left with you and never finished my coverings. Those years were unbearable. My parts were all hanging out, it was mortifying. Mistress Shmi used to have to clean lots of sand out of my circuits regularly. She finally excepted Master Anakin was not coming back and she finished my coverings herself."
At the mention of Shmi Skywalker, Anakin's beloved mother, Padme could see the pain on Anakin's face. She placed her hand in Anakin's to comfort him. Anakin took a deep breath to calm his emotions.
"3PO, I'm glad mom finished your coverings, but you had no business walking into our bedroom unannounced. Padme and I need our privacy. From now on under no circumstances other than a major life or death emergency are you or R2 allowed in our bedroom. And when I say life or death, I mean life or death. So, unless the house is burning down or another Sith Lord has shown up on our doorstep, stay out of our bedroom! Is what I said clear? Anakin asked in a firm tone to the bewildered droid.
"Yes, Master Anakin I understand," 3PO replied to his maker.
R2 beeped quietly to show his respect for Anakin and Padme's wishes.
"I'm sorry I yelled at you two. We know you are only looking to help in whatever way you can. Padme and I very much appreciate your assistance. But If you walk into our bedroom again and it turns out to not be an emergency, I will not hesitate to shut either of you down to update your programming. You both need to respect the boundaries that Padme and I set for you to follow. I know I built you 3PO when I was nine. I did not recognize the need to program you to understand human behavior more thoroughly, but obviously, I need to update your programming very soon."
3PO nodded slowly to Anakin. "Understood Master Anakin. Is there anything else you and Mistress Padme require from R2 or I right now?
"No, 3PO we are fine for now. Go rest your circuits! We'll send you a comm you if we need you. Thank you both for your help this morning." Padme replied to their two droids.
3PO and R2 turn and walk back into the house leaving the young couple alone.
Anakin shook his head and let out a naughty chuckle. "3PO and R2 walking in on us having sex on our wedding night was the only low point. Yesterday was sublime angel. Did it happen?"
"Yesterday happened and It was wonderful. We are married and the people we love were there to witness our very special day."
Anakin stared down at his plate holding back the tears that wanted to fall. "Those that we love that are still with us. I miss mom. I wish she could have been there."
Padme reached over to stroke Anakin's hair lovingly. "I know Ani, I'm so sorry. I thought about her too yesterday. She was most certainly there with us in spirit."
Anakin nodded his head and smiled at his beautiful wife. His wife, Padme was finally his wife, and what a glorious day they were gifted to celebrate their love. Anakin thought back to their wedding day.
FLASHBACK – ANAKIN AND PADME'S WEDDING DAY
Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala Naberrie were married on the steps of the royal palace in the city of Theed. It was the same location where the celebration of the victory against the Trade Federation's invasion of Naboo took place ten years ago. Along with Padme's family and several members of the Jedi Council, tens of thousands of civilians of Theed gathered to watch their beloved former Queen Amidala wed Anakin Skywalker, the man who defeated the Dark Lord of the Sith.
It is now midday, a sunny clear day. The bride, groom, and wedding reception attendees are located at Theed's most popular wedding venue. The beautiful villa overlooks the river surrounded by enchanted gardens bursting with flowers of radiant color. In the distance are trees and rolling green hills. Gondola boats are floating at the end of the shore, covered in colorful flowers with musicians playing soft music. The gardens are made up of shrubs carved into cubed shapes that form stars. In the corners of the gardens were elegant metal benches painted in green that blended so perfectly to the grass they appeared to grow straight out of the land.
As we pan up from the gardens. We see a beautiful balcony with a large-scale patio area with cobblestones. A wood oven is fired up with chefs cooking and preparing food. In the middle of the balcony's patio is an impressive, fountain spouting water. Lotus blossoms are floating with colorful fish swimming happily around the flowers in the fountain's pool of water. To the side of the fountain, musicians are playing their instruments cheerfully creating romantic music. Upon the arrival of the guests of honor, the musicians quickly put down their instruments.
Anakin and Padme Skywalker walk hand and hand onto the patio. R2D2 trails behind the happy couple with Anakin's lightsaber stored in his dome. Sola Naberrie Janren who is proudly acting as the bride's Maid of Honor holds the train of Padme's wedding gown. Padme's friend and former handmaiden Dorme Jannick walk alongside Sola as Padme's other Bridesmaid. Both lovely ladies are dressed in beautiful deep blue form-fitting sparkling dresses that flow down to the floor like the waves in the water. They both hold small bouquets of pink and white roses surrounded by baby's breath. Little white flowers decorate the women's hair that is tied back with thin white ribbons half up and half down in soft waves and curls.
Padme is wearing a floor-length white gown of delicate lace, wide long sleeves, and matching veil. Her hair falls loosely down her shoulders in soft ringlets. The bride's gown is cinched under her bust to accommodate her growing belly. Anakin is dressed in Jedi robes in much lighter colors than he has worn since he was a boy.
To Anakin and Padme's surprise Obi-Wan Kenobi, who is serving as the groom's Best Man, lights up his lightsaber. Master Yoda, Master Mace Windu, Master Ki-Adi-Mundi, and several other Jedi Masters ignite their laser swords forming a striking archway effect, the perfect symbol for the start of their new life together. As Anakin and Padme walk arm in arm under glowing sabers of blue and green, their other wedding guests throw pink rose petals high into the air cheering and clapping. As the newlyweds reach the end of the lightsaber arc, Anakin spontaneously dips Padme and leans down to kiss her passionately. Everyone cheers and claps in joyous applause.
Later after everyone has enjoyed a delicious feast of food and drink, we see Padme's young nieces, Ryoo and Pooja Naberrie Janren. The two flower girls are wearing deep blue dresses with hints of aqua sparkles. Their hair is styled like their mother Sola's, with little white flowers and thin white ribbons. The two little girls are having a marvelous time dancing and jumping to the upbeat tune the band is playing. 3PO and R2 are doing their best to keep up with the two energetic gleeful children.
A few feet away Ruwee Naberri, Padme's father is making a toast to the happy couple.
"Welcome to our family Anakin." Ruwee declared finishing his speech with enthusiasm.
The Naberrie family smiled and clinked their glasses together. The small group included Ruwee and Jobal Naberrie, Padme's mother, Sola, and her husband Darred Janren Naberrie.
Overwhelming joy was bursting in Anakin's heart. He was officially apart of Padme's family. From the moment Anakin had stepped into the Naberrie home, he felt welcomed with open arms. Anakin had gotten a chance to get to know the Naberrie's. Since living together at the lake retreat, he and Padme had visited her family several times.
Hugs and handshakes were given all around. Anakin hugged Padme last and kissed her on her ear. "This is the best day of my life my love." Padme smiles in Anakin's arms and whispers back in his ear. "Mine too Ani."
As they pull apart Anakin wraps his arm around her shoulder.
"What do you two have planned for your honeymoon?" Jobal asks in curiosity.
"Ani and I are planning to explore some parts of Naboo he hasn't gotten to visit, like Kaadara."
"Oh, Kaadara is beautiful. You will love it Anakin." Sola replied with a smile.
"That's where we went on our honeymoon," Darred replied putting his arm around Sola's waist.
"And we are close to finishing the baby's room." Anakin chimed in.
"Wait till you guys see it, it's perfect. I adore what Ani and I came up with." Padme said as she patted her belly and smiled.
"This place Is beautiful. I'm glad you two decided to wait a little longer to have the wedding you wanted and deserved." Jobal said to the couple.
As Anakin and the Naberri family looked around the venue to take in the atmosphere, Anakin noticed Obi-Wan was concentrating intensely on someone.
Anakin leans over to Padme and whispers in her ear. "I think I should go talk to Obi-Wan. I'll be right back."
Padme turns and smiles at Anakin. "Go talk to him!" Anakin smiles and kisses Padme on the cheek. He stops at one of the tables and picks up a glass of champagne and holds it out to Obi-Wan.
"Champagne my friend?" Obi-Wan excepts the glass with a smile.
Obi-Wan looks at the glass Anakin his holding. "Is that champagne?"
"It's sparkling shura juice. I can drink alcohol, but Padme can't. So, neither of us are drinking. Besides, I am already intoxicated by my beautiful bride. I don't need liquid courage. However, I am sensing you might my friend."
Obi-Wan takes a sip of his champagne "What are you talking about Anakin?"
"The fact that you can't keep your eyes off Dorme and don't try to deny it. I noticed you checking her out."
"I don't have the slightest idea what you are talking about." Obi-Wan shot back at his former Padawan.
"Do you like her?"
"We are not having this conversation and certainly not now," Obi-Wan replied back sternly.
"Seems to me this is the ideal time. It's my wedding Obi-Wan, the perfect opportunity to make your move on Dorme."
"Anakin your idea of the perfect time to court a woman is at the expense of the discomfort of others around you," Obi-Wan said to his former padawan.
"What do you mean?" Anakin asked his former master.
"I vividly remember you making a weak attempt to woo Padme when you first saw her again in her apartment when you said she "had grown more beautiful for a senator." Obi-Wan chuckled and took another sip of his drink. "Captain Typho, Dorme, and I had to endure the awkward scene."
"Jar Jar was there as well. What I said was not weak because I was speaking from my heart." Anakin replied back.
"It was embarrassing Anakin and where is Jar Jar by the way?"
"Embarrassing or not what does it matter? Padme and I soon fell in love after that initial reunion and now she's my wife. Jar Jar is visiting his gungan family and you're trying to change the subject."
"I am very happy for you and Padme, but as far as how I choose to spend my time with women there is nothing to discuss."
"I am sensing that you are enchanted by Dorme."
"You are sensing wrong."
Anakin gives Obi-Wana a quizzical look, crosses his arms, and raises an eyebrow. "Really?"
"Anakin why do you insist on pressing on about this, most annoyingly I might add?"
Anakin smirked. "When are you going to admit that you want a girlfriend? In my case, there was only one girl I ever wanted, but you my friend have the opportunity to date a lot of women or just one if you so wish. But neither of those scenarios will happen if you don't pull that lightsaber out of your behind."
"You can save your unwanted advice. I know how to speak to a woman, but that does not mean I want a girlfriend or a wife for that matter."
"If you say so Obi-Wan, but you really don't know what you're missing."
Anakin walks back over to Padme and puts his arm around her shoulder and smiles. She is talking to her mother. Padme turns to Anakin. "Is Obi-Wan enjoying himself?"
"Yes, but I think he'd enjoy himself even more if he would loosen up a little."
Jobal senses Anakin wants to talk to Padme. "Sounds like you want to discuss this in private. I'll leave you to it."
"Jobal please forgive me, I didn't mean to interrupt the conversation."
"You're not interrupting anything Anakin. Go help your friend!" Jobal smiles at them and walks over to Ruwee.
"What exactly is going on with Obiwan?" Padme asks her groom.
"Obi-Wan seems to be admiring Dorme."
"When did this start?" Padme asks in fascination.
"Since we came out here. To be honest, I think I have caught him looking at her before today."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Considering the code was just amended by the council. I don't think Obi-Wan would have contemplated making any move on her up until now."
Padme was intrigued by this little bit of gossip. "Oh Ani, do you think he likes her?
"He might, he certainly can't stop looking at her."
"Please don't say anything to Obiwan, but Dorme has commented that she is pleased with his looks and what a classy gentleman he is."
"Really?"
"Yep," Padme replied to Anakin.
"I just tried talking to him and it was like talking to a blast door."
"He is a stubborn one. Has Obi-Wan ever had any sort of girlfriend?"
"If you're asking me if Obi-Wan has ever had the pleasure of spending time with a woman in a shall we say private manner, the answer is yes. However, I am not aware that he has ever had a girlfriend."
"What are you saying Ani?"
"Obi-Wan has had sexual relations with women but has not been in a committed relationship. At least as far as I know he has not."
"You mean he just picks up random women, beds them, and leaves?"
"Yes, and most male Jedi have visits with prostitutes."
"In other words, the Jedi believe that having sex with prostitutes is perfectly acceptable but having a girlfriend is immoral."
"Up until they changed the code for us, yes angel."
"That's totally backward Ani."
"I know my love. I never understood it and never had any desire to take part in it."
"Thank the gods for that," Padme responded to her husband.
"I have only ever wanted you."
Anakin leans into Padme and they share a short but passionate kiss. Padme runs her hands over his chest. "You have no idea how sexy I find you right now."
Anakin puts down his glass, wraps his arms around Padme, and starts messaging his hands over her lower back. "You want to go someplace private?" He asks looking lustfully into her eyes.
"I would love too but we can't. We are going to cut the cake soon."
"I am not thinking about cake right now angel," Anakin says leaning into Padme in search of another kiss, but Padme stops him placing her index finger over his lips.
"Husband behave, we will be back at the lake retreat soon enough."
Anakin holds her hand and kisses the tip of her finger. "I was lonely in our bed without you last night. Why did you have to stay at your parent's house?"
"Because it's a tradition, my love, the groom is not supposed to see his bride and certainly not make love to her the night before the wedding, It's Noobian belief that the bride and the groom should spend the night apart before the wedding, because if they don't it will bring bad energy to the marriage. Now, let's go try to fix up Obi-Wan and Dorme."
"Lead the way wife. Anakin says while placing his hand on the small of her back. Padme turns her head around to look Anakin in the eye and winks at him."
Padme and Anakin walk over to Dorme who is talking to Captain Typho. "Hello, Captain." Padme says.
"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Skywalker, may I express my sincerest congratulations to you both."
"Thank you, Captain." Anakin shakes Captain Typho's hand.
"Thank you for your kind words Captain. Do you mind if I speak with Dorme?"
"Not at all my lady." Captain Typho smiles and bows to Anakin and Padme.
"Is there something that you need my lady?"
"Dorme please call me Padme."
"You can call me Anakin."
"I would be happy to. I am so very happy for you both."
"Thank you Dorme. Have you had gotten a chance to speak to Master Kenobi today?" Padme asks her friend.
"No, he's been over there standing with the Jedi council members. I didn't want to disturb them."
"Why don't we go talk to him?"
"I'd like that."
Padme, Anakin, and Dorme walk over to Obi-Wan who is speaking to Master Windu.
"Hello, Master Windu we are so happy you were able to join us to celebrate our very special day.
"It is an honor, my lady. This is indeed a joyful gathering. I'd like to express my sincerest congratulations to you both. I know myself and other members of the Jedi council have put up a great deal of resistance to change our views, but I must share I sense a comforting wave of peace moving towards us that is bringing balance to the Force. Anakin, I am very proud of you, as I am with my friend standing here."
Mace turns and bows to Obi-Wan. Anakin bows to Mace and Obi-Wan.
"Thank you, Master Windu. I greatly appreciate your kind words." Anakin replies to the Jedi Master.
"Master Windu, I hope it would not be an interruption to your conversation with Master Kenobi if I caught him up on some interesting work my dear friend Dorme has been working on?"
"There is no interruption to speak of, please converse my friends!" Mace Windu replies.
Obi-Wan nods and smiles at Master Windu. Master Windu walks over to Master Mundi to speak with him. Obi-Wan turns his attention to Dorme and bows to her.
"It is a great pleasure to see you again my lady," Obi-Wan says to Dorme.
"Thank you, Master Kenobi. I trust you've been well?" Dorme asks Obi-Wan.
"Yes, thank you, I have been enjoying a most needed period of rest and meditation."
"You've certainly earned it." Dorme happily responds to Obi-Wan.
"Obiwan, Dorme here has been studying at Coruscant University," Padme says to Obi-Wan.
"That sounds very productive and what might you be studying?"
"I am taking courses in pattern making design. I design clothing."
"Your designs are beautiful. I have had the pleasure of wearing some of the outfits Dorme has designed."
"Really which ones?" Anakin asks in curiosity.
"The dress I wore on our picnic in the shack fields."
"You designed that Dorme?" Anakin asks the former handmaiden.
"I did Anakin."
"Wow, Dorme you're talented," Anakin says to Dorme.
"Thank you, Anakin."
Anakin turns to Padme. "You looked stunning in that dress."
"Do you design clothes only for women?" Obi-Wan asks Dorme.
"No, Master Kenobi. I design for men as well."
"Very interesting, I would love to see some of your designs," Obi-Wan states enthusiastically to Dorme.
"I would love to show them to you," Dorme says to the Jedi Master.
Padme whispers in Anakin's ear. "Let's leave them to it Ani." Anakin turns his head and winks at her.
A: Please excuse us.
Anakin and Padme casually walk away as Obi-Wan and Dorme continue their conversation.
A short time later Anakin and Padme walk over to their wedding cake holding hands. They each take turns feeding each other cake. Everyone claps and smiles at the happy couple as their lips cling to one another for a moment.
Anakin takes Padme's hand. "May I have this dance, my beautiful bride?"
"Of course, you can my handsome groom."
Not too long after Darred and Sola, Ruwee and Jobal, and most surprisingly Obi-Wan and Dorme join them on the dance floor. Anakin and Padme smile as they watch Obi-Wan and Dorme dancing. Anakin twirls and dips Padme gently. He leans over to kiss her, and he can still taste a little bit of buttercream on her lips from the cake he fed her.
FLASHBACK CONTINUED – THE LAKE RETREAT
Anakin's mind traveled to later in the evening. They have just left the fresher. Anakin has a towel wrapped around his waist and Padme is wearing her robe. They both have damp newly washed hair from enjoying a long very intimate hot steamy shower. They walk over to their dressers. Anakin puts on a pair of black boxers and his sleep pants. Padme slips on a short red lace see-through nightie with matching panties.
Anakin's eyes are burning with lust looking at her in her nightie.
"Padme." Anakin walks over to Padme, as he says her name with such passion and reverence.
Padme smiles at Anakin while rubbing her growing belly gently.
"Yes, Anakin"
"Are you trying to kill me?"
"What do you mean my love?" Padme asks her husband.
"What your wearing, it's wow, really fucking sexy."
"Woo Anakin, I've never heard that word come out your mouth except when we're making love."
"I can't help it. I want to tear this thing off you with my teeth."
Anakin tells her running his fingers gently over the spaghetti straps of her nightie while contemplating pulling the straps down her arms.
"Calm down there Jedi. I went through a lot of trouble finding this on the halo. We've made love tonight three times already. I think we can handle a little pause to grab something to eat in the kitchen."
"Wearing that, you might as well not be wearing anything. If you keep wearing stuff like this, trust me you're going to be hearing that four-letter word come out of my mouth a lot more."
"I take it you like my nightie?" Padme asks teasingly.
"Force yes. He says with unbridled hunger for her."
Anakin and Padme once again get lost in each other as they kiss hungrily running their hands up down each other's hands are moving up and down her backside. Anakin starts directing them slowly towards their king size canopy bed, but a few quick thumps from Padme's belly interrupts their fourth coupling of the evening.
"I felt that," Anakin says in surprise.
"I think our little one has other plans. I want to make love again, but I'm hungry and so is the baby."
"We can't have you two hungry. Let's go see what's in the kitchen. We have plenty of leftovers from the wedding that the droids packed into the fridge."
Anakin and Padme walk into the kitchen.
"Hello R2, no we're perfectly fine finding something to eat, thank you. Go find 3PO and make sure he's not getting into any trouble. Ani and I want to eat our meal alone. R2 beeps away happily. Anakin and Padme notice a slight chuckle from R2 processing the thought of what ridiculous trouble 3PO is getting himself into and the computation that he always has to babysit him. Anakin and Padme laugh along with R2 as he rolls away in search of his mechanical clumsy friend."
Anakin and Padme grab some deep-fried nuna legs and a salad from the fridge. They also take a piece of wedding cake to share. They sit down and eat their meal at the breakfast nook next to the picture window in the kitchen. They quietly share a casual conversation about their wedding.
"Come mere," Anakin says to his bride.
Padme gets up from her chair and stands to the side of Anakin's chair. Their eyes locked on one another Anakin pushes his chair back. Padme runs her fingers through his hair and Anakin moves his hands over her hips and waist. He pats his knee for her to sit down. Padme smiles and scoots herself onto his lap.
"I'm not crushing you, am I?"
"Padme, I've fought men that have a ridiculous amount more bodyweight. You are not crushing me in the least."
Padme giggles softly. "Ok, good."
Padme turns and picks up the plate with the piece of cake. "Desert my love?"
Anakin nods and Padme scoops up a small piece with a fork. She leans over to feed it to Anakin. Padme hands Anakin the fork and he feeds her a small piece of cake with a decent amount of frosting and whip cream. Padme dips her finger into the whipped cream and gently rubs it over Anakin's lower lip. She licks the cream off his lip with the tip of her tongue and sucks his lower lip. Anakin groaned; he knew this is where the fun would begin. Padme tugged on Anakin's lip and slowly let in slip out of her mouth. Dipping his finger in the raspberry curd filling, Anakin drew a small heart on Padme's neck. He began to lick the fruit off with the tip of his tongue and began to suck the delicate skin. His move took Padme by surprise and she cried out in ecstasy. That was going to leave a love bite.
Suddenly Padme pulls away from him. "Maybe we shouldn't do this here. 3PO and R2 could show up any minute. We already had them walk in on us once tonight and I have a better place in mind," Padme says in almost a whisper.
"Oh, yeah? Anakin asks in a husky voice.
They walk together through the dark house. Anakin is beyond turned on by his wife's mysterious behavior and wonders what she has in mind.
"You want to untie those drapes, my love?"
Anakin had never noticed the thick velvet red curtains to each side of the room. As he untied the drapes, they formed a barrier of material that blocked the doorway. Padme proceeded to light a blazing fire in the hearth, but the heat from the fire paled in comparison to the passion building up in anticipation between the young couple.
"You are full of surprises tonight Mrs. Skywalker," Anakin says as he walks over to his wife.
Padme stretches her arms out to Anakin, and he locks his hands with hers. Padme bends her elbows and Anakin follows. He briefly studies the way the fire's light reflects off the gold of their wedding rings. The two large golden cups on each side of the roaring fire framing the young couple. A beautiful image of two people pledging their unconditional love for one another.
Padme stares intensely into Anakin's eyes and begins speaking. "Sola and I used to love to gossip about boys in this room. Well, it was mostly her talking about what boy she had a crush on. We'd untie those drapes so mom and dad could not hear our conversations. I remember asking her questions about boys and the funny answers she gave me. She'd end our conversations saying things like "one day you'll find out little sister." Years later that time had finally arrived for me. I was sitting oh so close to the most handsome, sexy, sweet man I'd ever spent time with. I kept on fighting with myself between what I wanted and what I thought I should not do about my feelings and attraction for you. Want to know a secret."
"Tell me," Anakin says as he kisses his wife's fingers.
"I have always wanted to make love to you in this room Ani."
Anakin stops kissing her fingers and lifts his head to meet Padme's eyes. "Since we've been living here, whenever things would heat up between us when we were in this room. You always want to move to the bedroom. Don't get me wrong I love our bedroom, but I did notice you would stop things between you and me in this room."
"I decided I wanted to wait to make love to you in this room when we're finally married and I know it's silly, but I wanted to surprise you."
"Why?" Anakin asked as he massaged his thumbs over the pulse in Padme's wrist.
"I associate this room as the ice breaker room for us. If I waited to make love to you in this room as my husband, it would be like a full circle experience for our relationship. For Force sake I almost ended our relationship in this room."
"You were only following what you thought was the logical decision."
"Thank the gods I came to my senses and realized I was throwing away true love. You spoke to me so honestly about your feelings for me that first night in this room. I know at the time I said no to getting involved with you, but then I changed my mind later that night."
"I took, "let's see where the night takes us," as you saying to me maybe I'll date you Anakin?"
"That's exactly what I meant. Something told me I had to keep the night going. If I let us part on such a sour note, disaster would somehow be waiting for us. Not ending the evening with you at that point was allowing myself to be honest that we were on a real date. Not that the picnic wasn't a real date, because we both quietly knew it was."
"When I told you, I was in agony Padme I wasn't kidding. My body was aching for yours. First, at dinner the way you smiled at me while you bit into that piece of fruit. It looked like you wanted to take a bite out of me. Sitting so close to you on the couch, I remember you were practically sitting in my lap and kept starring at my mouth. You were driving me wild, just like you are now. Anakin said while moving his hands down the sides of her breasts.
"I wanted so desperately for you to kiss me again," Padme said breathlessly.
"Then why did you pull away when I tried?"
"Besides my worries about dating a member of the Jedi Order because it was forbidden. I knew if I let you kiss me; It would be incredibly difficult for me to find the willpower to stop once we started. I had only spent a few days alone with you protecting me, but the temptation to get romantically involved with each other was already stronger than either of us could handle. I knew we were teetering on getting intimate after having our first kiss on the balcony and rolling around together in the meadow. For Force sake, you were stroking my skin and breathing heavily in my ear before we even kissed. I loved being alone with you, but I was scared. It was a big decision for me to lose my virginity to you or any man. I also wanted to feel sure you really would want a serious relationship. I did not want you to think I was some women with loose morals that would jump into bed with you so easily."
"Padme I would never think anything like that of you."
"I know but men will say anything to get sex and then not hesitate to disappear."
"I know that angel, but I would never do that to you. I would have waited for as long as you wanted to wait. I just wanted to be with you."
Padme's fingers started to dance up and down her husband's chest. "The truth is I didn't trust myself to continue to hold back and I didn't need to be a Jedi to read what was in your mind. I remember when you glanced straight down at my breasts right in front of this fire right after I told you I would not give in to our feelings for each other. I knew I was playing with the fire between us. And by the way, if it was any other guy besides you that so freely starred at my boobs right in front of my face the way you did, I would have slapped him.
"Good to know. Force Padme your sassiness is so damn hot. I may be more disciplined in my behavior having been trained by the Jedi Order and raised by a kind and wonderful mother, but I'm still a man. I couldn't help myself. How did you expect I would react with you dressed in your black leather temptress outfit? We came in here after dinner. We were all alone after the servants lit the fireplace and then you took off that feather thing that was covering you up."
Padme smiled. "You mean a shawl, my love?"
"Yeah, a shawl. Once you took that off and we were all alone in here, I was instantly aroused. Every time you breathed your cleavage would rise and fall from the top of your tight black dress. I wanted to explore every inch of your beautiful body, but despite how Force fucking sexy you looked. If you told me, you wanted to wait I would have understood and respected whatever made you comfortable."
Anakin leans his head down to kiss his wife's shoulders.
"Thank you, my love. I know you would have." Padme said breathlessly combing her fingers through Anakin's hair. Anakin's hands found their way back to Padme's backside, running his hands under her panties and onto the smooth skin of her round cheeks.
"But that was then, and this is our wedding night," Anakin tells his wife as his teeth tugs down the left strap of her nightie and pushes the other strap on her right shoulder down with his right hand.
"Let's see where the night takes us Ani," Padme says breathing heavily from the sensation of Anakin kissing the tops of her breasts.
"Now where have I heard that before? Anakin says with a smug smile on his face as he pulls the top of Padme's nightie down her breasts and to the floor.
Anakin stands back up, but Padme was ready for him. She reaches for the back of his head and his mouth crashed down onto hers. Their lips slide over each other in a breathless lip lock, which quickly escalates to their tongues dancing together in an arousing mating dance.
What a lucky man he was. He was married to the hottest most amazing woman in the galaxy. They had been busy and not just on planning their wedding and getting the baby's room ready. Padme's pregnancy had not stopped their sexual activity. The pregnancy hormones made her bolder. She was no longer shy about coming onto him. What Padme wanted Padme got and he was more than happy to give it to her. He remembered a few weeks back where he was showing her how he works on his lightsaber and she grabbed the flesh and blood one through his sleep pants. That led to a hot as Mustafar coupling in their speeder garage. With as much as they enjoy their sexual activities together, Anakin could not imagine that this baby would be their only child. He sensed their youngling would have a brother, or sister to play with sooner rather than later and they both very much wanted that.
The erotic sight of Anakin sucking Padme's left nipple into his hungry mouth was framed by the blazing fire behind the young couple. Her perfectly shaped breasts which had increased in size because of her pregnancy, were also noticeably more sensitive since she reached her second trimester. Her delicate skin tingled with pleasure as Anakin flicked his tongue over the small peak and then moved over to its twin. Padme clutched his head as he sucked her right nipple even harder than the left one.
"Mmm Ani' Padme called out her husband's name in a cross between a moan and a hiss.
This was exactly what Anakin wanted to do when he had stared down at her breasts that fateful night, he confessed his love. Now here he was savoring the sweet taste of her nipples and driving Padme out of her mind. They had tried all the most galactically popular sexual positions. Being a committed loving couple for eight months, Anakin had grown to become very familiar with her body and her to his. He was confident in his ability to satisfy his woman sexually and know what brought her the most enjoyment.
Slowly sliding his lips over Padme's, Anakin with his arms around his wife started to move them towards the couch.
"Tell me something, my goddess. If you've always wanted to make love to me in this room. Does that mean you've had fantasies about what we would do together?" Anakin asked Padme as she laid down on the red velvety sofa with Anakin leaning over her.
Padme let out a naughty giggle. "Wouldn't you like to know?" Padme ran her fingers through his hair and the other hand gripped his bicep.
"I would very much," Anakin said with a smirk.
"That's for you to figure out husband."
"I see you're still playing a little hard to get angel. I think I can guess what happens in these fantasies of yours." Anakin said teasingly.
Anakin looked deeply into her eyes. "I am assuming it starts with this."
Anakin leans down capturing Padme's lips in a steamy kiss. He leaves her mouth breathlessly and starts trailing kisses down her chin. His tongue flutters all around her neck and Padme lets out a long moan. Anakin could sense through the Force and knew by experience what she needed from him. His hands traveled down to her breasts. He ran his thumbs over her nipples and pinched them lightly. Padme arched her back underneath him and stared at him with lust hazed eyes.
Does something like this happen angel?" Anakin asked with a cocky smirk.
"Gods yes Ani," Padme said breathlessly.
His response was to suck first her left then right nipple into his warm mouth.
Padme's moan was almost a cry. "Ani, I need you."
"What do you need my goddess? I will do anything you ask."
Padme gave Anakin a dreamy smile. "You said something similar that night my love." She then reached her hand out to his face and stroked her thumb over the stubble on his chin. The expression on her face turned from sweet to seductive. "I want your tongue between my legs Anakin."
Anakin nodded with a positively wicked half-smile. He placed a few kisses on Padme's belly. "Hi, there little one. Go to sleep! Daddy and mommy need to play." Anakin replied as he grabbed the rim of Padme's red lace panties and pulled them down her legs.
He places his hands on her inner thighs and parts her beautiful legs. Anakin dipped his strong hands underneath her behind and her legs spread invitingly around his shoulders. He placed a soft kiss on the side of each of her knees. Padme's heartbeat sped up in anticipation. He usually teased her a little longer by kissing her inner thighs, but he surprised her by skipping that delectable torture and placed a kiss at her entrance.
In the past, he loved to watch his girl and lock eyes with her when he would pleasure her. But that intimate act was not possible with her large baby belly blocking his view of her exquisite face. The smell of Padme's arousal enraptured Anakin's senses, as he glided his tongue over her sweet pink skin from the heart of her sex to the tiny glistening pearl waiting for his attention. When his tongue flicked over it, Padme let out a long pleasurable moan.
"Ohh, Anakin."
He had brought her to a rocketing climax with his hands between her legs in the shower earlier, but this was the first time this evening he was performing this delicious carnal act. From her reaction to his loving ministrations, she needed this from him, and he was more than eager to deliver. Padme was moving her hips up and down in a sensual dance, as a reaction to the circles his tongue was traveling on her clitoris. He alternated between lashing his tongue up and down and sucking her into his mouth. Padme was breathing heavy and moaning, she grabbed the pillows that surrounded her.
"Mm, Ani that feels so good," she said from the overwhelming pleasure he was giving her.
Anakin knew whenever that sentence escaped her luscious lips, she was not far from the edge. He wanted to keep her from toppling over the cliff to nirvana a little longer.
He starred a moment at her gates to paradise. He was painfully hard as he dove his tongue into her warm honeyed sweetness. He savored her, massaging intimately the most secret part of his wife's body with his tongue. The first time he had ever loved her with his mouth was the morning after their first time together here at the lake retreat. She was nervous and self-conscious, "he wouldn't like her down there." He certainly erased those concerns from her mind in minutes. As primitive as he knew it was, having the ability to give Padme multiple orgasms made him feel like the man. He felt more powerful in his skillfulness to satisfy her desires than even in his talent to manipulate the Force itself. No praise from any member of the Jedi Order could ever compare to experiencing Padme writhe, moan and scream his name in sexual satisfaction. When he asked her how she liked it when he pleasured her orally, she told him it was a highly satisfying, erotic, spiritual experience where she felt worshipped by him and sweet Force did, he worship her.
Padme was rocking her hips in rhythm with his tongue. She was riding his face and he loved it, but he could sense she needed him inside of her soon and he needed that even more. He returned his mouth back to her clitoris and started beating it quickly with his tongue. In a few short very enjoyable minutes, she was crying out his name in ecstasy from her body spasming in intense waves of joyous release. Usually, he would continue to work to bring her to a second orgasm, but he couldn't wait any longer. He needed to be inside of his wife.
He lifted his head to look at Padme. She looked gorgeous all flushed smiling up at him with lust glazed eyes. He took off his boxers and sleep pants. He quickly wiped his mouth and chin with his sleep pants and threw his remaining clothes to the floor. Anakin's eyes were dark with passion as he looks intensely into Padme's chocolate brown ones. He leans over Padme, reaches his right hand to her delicate cheek, and strokes her ear softly with his thumb. "Are you ready for me my love?"
Padme places her hand on his shoulder and lifts her leg. She glides her foot seductively along his ribs and around his ass. "lie down Anakin!" Anakin smiled and leaned down to kiss her for a moment. "I love you Padme. Are you sure you can handle this angel?" He said as pulled his lips away.
"Yes, I love you Ani. Let me show you how much."
Anakin holds hands with Padme and begins to pull her up. He scooches his body down to the other end of the sofa and lies down flat on his back. Padme slowly climbs on top of him. Her breath catches in her throat as she lowers herself down onto his erection. He watches her in fascination as she bites her lip and closes her eyes from the mind-boggling pleasure of being filled by him. Anakin bends his knees slightly to support her back from the weight of her large belly. The sexy goddess straddling him tickled his chiseled abs and sculpted chest with her fingertips. Padme stretched her body to place kisses on his abs. Feeling the wet locks of her hair dragging along his skin titillated his senses. He is speechless as she runs her tongue from his abs, up to his throat and she starts planting kisses on his neck, but the position is causing too much strain on her body and she pulls herself back up.
Being inside of her was always incredible, euphoric. Force, she felt amazing. Every sexual experience they had together was magnificent, but this was his absolute favorite. He loved and lived for moments like this with her. To most in the galaxy, Padme was a former queen and current senator of Naboo. She is a champion of peace and justice and he loves her for it, but only he would ever get to be with the whole woman. Only he knew Padme, the passionate, horny, seductress. He'd do anything for her. He craved her body like a death stick addict.
Padme rocked and ground on him at a steady pace. Anakin guided her holding onto her hips as he drove his length into her over and over again. He was hitting different angles deep inside of her and she was moaning and chanting his name in elation. He savored the feeling of being hugged tightly by her wet heat. It surprised Anakin that Padme at eight months pregnant still had enough energy to ride him. He read on the halo that most women can struggle with exhaustion during their pregnancy and especially in the third trimester, but Padme's energy level only seemed to increase as she came closer to delivering their baby.
He was intoxicated by the sight of her breasts bouncing up and down. His mouth watered gazing at her darkened pink nipples. He wanted to suck on her tits badly, but he knew if he tried to reach for her he would break the connection of their bodies. Even more, he missed kissing her. His tongue felt abandoned in his mouth without the stimulation of mating with hers and tasting her sweet lips. He'd have to settle with fondling her breasts and playing with her nipples, which drove her nuts and only made her tighten around him even more. He sensed through the Force she was close as she increased the rocking of her pelvis. Padme arched her back and tilted her head back in pure ecstasy in a manner that turned him on intensely. She suddenly covered Anakin's hands with her own hands that were caressing her breasts. Anakin watched with hooded eyes in awe of Padme as she shattered on top of him. He delighted immensely in her body convulsing around him coaxing him to reach his release. He exploded into her like a starfighter shooting into hyperdrive. Anakin increased the pace of his hips as they both rode out their orgasms. Heaving for air, sweaty, still, on top of him, Padme let go of one of his hands and put her hand over her forehead.
"You ok my love?" Anakin asked his wife trying to catch his breath.
"Yeah, I just got a little bit of a sexual headache. That was mind-blowing Anakin."
"You were incredible angel, come mere! Let me help ease your pain."
Padme detaches herself from Anakin and lies down on the couch. Anakin places his hands on her forehead. He begins to massage her forehead and concentrates on the Force to ease the tension in her head. When he is done focusing on healing her, he leans down and presses his lips to her forehead for a few moments.
"Mmm thank you Ani, that helped.
"How are you feeling?" Anakin asks as he removes some pillows from the sofa. He places his body behind Padme's spooning her. Anakin puts his arms around his wife and kisses her shoulder.
"Great, but my back is feeling a little sore. I definitely couldn't take the lead in our love fest like that again tonight or for that matter till our little one is brought into the world."
"I am honestly amazed you are still capable of moving your body like that when you're so close to delivering."
"This is our wedding night Ani, so I went for it. I bet I will be sore all over in the morning, but it was worth it."
"I never actually said the words "I love you" that first night we were in this room, did I?"
"No, but you said it couple of times later that night."
"You want to know when I knew I loved you."
Padme turns her body to look up at her husband. "When?"
"On the ship on the way to Coruscant. You put a red blanket around me to comfort me."
"You mean when you gave me the japor snippet?"
"Yep, I knew you were the one. Somehow, sometime, someway we would be together."
"Aww, Ani that's so sweet."
"I ah, I wanted to kiss you."
"But Ani you were still a little boy."
"Not like I kiss you now angel. You know more like a long peck on your lips and a hug. My mind didn't go past anything more yet and besides, I was too terrified to try it anyway."
"It's probably better that you didn't. I wouldn't want to have hurt your feelings in that beautiful moment. We kissed when we were meant to kiss."
"Absolutely," Anakin says in a hushed tone as he leans in to kiss Padme. He pulls away after a few minutes.
"Turn around my love. Let me help alleviate the pain."
Padme turns her back to Anakin. He again starts to use the Force to help calm the pain in her body. Anakin uses his strong hands to massage her back and neck. As the pain in Padme's body begins to subside, she reaches her hands out to touch his hands as they caress her neck and back. Padme turns her head to look over her shoulder and leans into Anakin. He captures her mouth with is own. Before long, the young lovers are sexually entangled in one another in a spooning position. Having already satisfied their immediate sexual needs for one another, the newly married couple takes their time to enjoy the feeling of being connected so intimately. They were in no hurry to reach the finish line.
He could make love to her all night long, forever, Anakin chanted in his lust-filled mind as he starred over his angel's shoulder at the deep red heavy closed curtain.
PRESENT DAY – THE LAKE COUNTRY RETREAT
Anakin shakes his head to clear his mind of the hot as fuck blissful memories of last night, their wedding night. He grabs the other end of the curtain rod Padme is holding out to him.
"Anakin did you hear what I said?"
"What, yeah you said something about the rod not staying up."
"Yes, I don't know if the rod will stay in place. We might need another screw."
"I put two extra screws in angel while you were asleep."
"Oh, ok Ani."
The double entendre did not escape Anakin and he chuckled to himself as he stretched the curtain rod to fasten the curtains over the window.
Anakin and Padme have finished their breakfast and are now in the room they both have been working on over the past month to fix up for their soon to be youngling. Because it is closest to their bedroom, the young couple decided to turn the room Anakin slept in when he was serving as Padme's protector into their baby's room. Padme stares out the window that is over-looking the gardens flourishing with pink roses. She smiles as she watches Anakin hang up a set of dark blue curtains sprinkled with small sparkling silver stars. Half of the room's walls are covered in a beautiful mural showcasing Naboo's night sky.
"Do they look even?" Anakin asks his wife while standing on the ladder.
"They look, perfect sweetie," Padme replied to her husband.
Padme is sitting in the rocking chair Sola gave them which used to be in her niece's nursery. She is holding the stuffed toy shaak Anakin brought home one day after picking up some tools to put together the crib he was building for the baby.
Anakin steps off the ladder. "Alright, we're pretty much done. I only have the crib to finish and that shouldn't take me much longer. I finally completed the ceiling while you were napping, want to see?"
"Absolutely," Padme replied.
Anakin closes the curtains, takes Padme's hand, and helps her stand up. He grabs the pillow she was leaning on and the stuffed shaak. Padme lies down on the rug next to Anakin. Her head is resting on the pillow. Anakin uses the force to dim the lights. Lying on their backs and holding hands, Anakin and Padme are captivated by the glorious display of glowing stars, moons, and planets that enrapture their vision.
"How long did it take you to stick all those up on the ceiling?" Padme asks.
"Hours, do you like it?"
"It's beautiful Ani, I Love it and so will our baby. This room is truly special for a baby whose last name is Skywalker."
"It definitely is and well…" Anakin's smile changes to a naughty grin. "Our baby was conceived under the Naboo night sky," Anakin says as he stares deeply into Padme's eyes.
"That juicy piece of information will remain between mom and dad."
"Deal." Anakin nods in agreement.
Anakin caresses his left hand over Padme's cheek and moves his face towards her, but Padme starts giggling before his lips can reach hers.
"What is it?"
"I don't know. You just look so adorable leaning in to kiss me all smoothly while your head is lying on that stuffed toy shaak."
Anakin grabs the stuffed shaak from behind his head, gives the toy a goofy look that makes Padme laugh even harder, and tosses it behind him onto the floor. Padme laughs hysterically at Anakin's silly behavior."
"That shaak just interrupted a beautiful moment. He will never be forgiven."
Padme giggles again. "Aww, I think we'll let the baby decide his fate."
"Fair enough," Anakin replies in agreement with his wife.
Padme runs her finger gently down Anakin's chin to his Adam's apple.
"Ani, you can be so adorable. I knew I was in love with you when you jumped onto that shaak trying to stand on it, and then afterward when we rode one back here with my arms around your waist."
Anakin leans over Padme with his mouth inches from hers. He runs his fingers lightly through her hair. "You are so… beautiful."
"It's only because I'm so in love," Padme says as she starts combing her fingers through Anakin's hair.
Anakin shakes his head gently. "No, No it's because I'm so in love with you."
"So love has blinded you?" Padme asks in confusion.
"Well…that's not exactly what I meant."
"But it's probably true."
Not being able to wait any longer, Anakin leans down and captures Padme's lips in a soft kiss. They make out for a while. Anakin moves his lips to her neck sucking and kissing with passion. Padme's moans of pleasure encourage him. He kisses in between her cleavage and continues to move down to her large belly. Anakin's hands bunch up the skirt of her nightgown and he kisses the bare skin of her stomach. He continues to trail sweet kisses slowly down her belly, but suddenly he pauses and lifts his head.
"What is it Ani?"
"Maybe I'm not almost done working on the crib."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because angel, I am strongly sensing through the Force something new between us."
"Something new?"
"Padme there's two, I think your carrying twins."
Author's Notes:
I hope you enjoyed this first chapter. If you've read the stories in my AU series, you'll know that I like to sneak in the original dialogue from the first six movies and especially the prequels. I will continue that style of writing with this story. Also, the bridesmaid dresses and flower girl dresses are inspired by the blue dress Padme is wearing at her funeral. Because my version is a much brighter one for Anakin and Padme, I continue to enjoy reimaging how their lives would have been different if Anakin had not turned to the dark side. I have already written scenes and dialogue for several of the other chapters. The second chapter still needs a lot of work, so I am not sure when it will be out. However, I don't expect it to be nearly as long as this chapter or complex. Hopefully, I can have it out for you to read in a couple of weeks.
