Tahiri and Anakin:

(I do not know much about this couple, so my apologies for the shortness of this chapter.)

Anakin's kiss took me only mildly by surprise, as we were crammed into a locker together on a mission. It had been chaste; but then, it wouldn't have been Anakin if it hadn't been.

His lips against mine sent a shock through me as my body felt for the first time the stirrings of mutually romantic attraction. I cannot wait to get him alone… and see if I can get him to kiss me again before we get sent out on a new mission.

Who knows where they will send us next, what with the voxyn steadily killing off Jedi. Blast this war, and curse the Yuuzahn Vong for starting the whole mess.

Enough of that, though. Anakin is coming, after he received a summons from me asking for 'help' in meditation. I can feel his eagerness to pick up where we left off in that locker, but I know his honor will prevent him from going too far.

And I love him for it, though not as much as I love him. And who said there was anything wrong with a few loving embraces of the lips?
