Chapter 7

The Three Tales of Romance

Ahsoka POV

"Here's you guy's room," Tyler said as he finally concluded the tour. I stared at the room in amazement. I had never stayed in a room like this.

"Thanks, Tyler. I really appreciate the tour, too. But, Ahsoka and I are feeling really tired so if you could…" Lux trailed off, letting his brother finish the sentence.

Tyler knit his eyebrows together in confusion, then his eyes widened in comprehension. "Oh, I get it, Lux. Then let me leave you two to it," he said as he left the room without another word, but raising his eyebrows at me as he exited.

I didn't get what he was saying at all, but I guessed it was something along the lines of vulgar, considering how Lux was turning cherry red.

"So Lux, how did you like that tour that Tyler gave us?" I asked, trying to calm my fiancé a little.

"Huh? Oh, it was… well, not trying to be rude but it was pretty boring," Lux admitted.

I laughed at his reaction to the tour. "Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so!"

Lux smiled at me, reached for my hand and put on a naughty smile. "You know Ahsoka, we kind of got interrupted on the ship earlier."

I blushed and walked over to the couch. "Oh really, because if I remember we were just taking a break. And I think that it's time that we picked up where we left off," I said as I pointed a finger at Lux, signaling for him to come over to the couch. He smiled as he sat down. I put my arms around his neck and kissed him.

He started to lean forward and I was forced to fall onto my back as he started to open his mouth just a little. I started to open mine a little too and our tongues wrestled for control, in which I let him win, not wanting to damage his male ego. His tongue explored my mouth, as I started to pull his shirt off. When it was completely off, I started to pull his pants down.

Lux stopped me, before I reached his waistline. "First, I want to get even," he said, as he started peeling my shirt off. All I had on under was a bra, so I was getting even more nervous by the minute. But when Lux put more pressure on my lips, I knew I would be fine, no matter what went on. I started pulling my pants off, and soon all I had on was a bra and panties.

Then I reached down and started to pull down Lux's pants. They were almost off, when Lux's comlink went off. Both of us broke apart, gasping for air.

"Lux, here," he said, sounding annoyed.

"Lux, could you and Ahsoka please keep it down? I'm getting a lot of complaints about moaning and screaming," Tyler's voice sounded over the comlink. He sounded a little mad, but there was also amusement in his voice.

Lux turned a deep shade of red. I guess that we had been pretty loud. "Sorry, Tyler. I forgot to place the soundproof setting on." Lux cut off the comlink and got up. He headed toward the door and pressed a button on the control pad. I heard, very faintly, the sound of gears and generators being turned.

Lux walked back over here and laid back down on me. "Now where were we?" Lux asked mischievously.

I smiled and resumed removing our clothes. After that, I was really glad that the walls were now soundproof.

Anakin POV

The second the droids threw me into the prison area, I knew that I was in for one heck of a night. Not because of people fighting, even though there were a few skirmishes here and there. It was because the place was overcrowded.

"Now I'll never find Padme," I said to myself. But then I mentally slapped myself for my ignorance. "Just feel her through the living Force." I concentrated and felt her, a small presence in a big world. But the place I found her was a place I wouldn't expect to find her. In the mess hall.

My wife usually had a very meager diet, so I don't know why she would be there. I found out as soon as I got there. A crowd had gathered around her and another woman and I got closer to see what was going on. When I got to the front I saw that they were fighting over something, and I mean fighting, as in using fists instead of words. Usually Padme used diplomacy, but now she probably learned that in prison you can't use words.

Padme's scream interrupted my thoughts. I watched as she collapsed to floor, blood trickling out of her nose. I rushed to her side and examined her. Besides her nose, she only had a few more bruises. The crowd took great interest in this, as people rarely got rescued from a fight.

"Who the kriff are you?" the woman who had beat up Padme, asked. I stood up and towered above her by at least one head.

"Your worst nightmare" I said evilly, and punched her. She flew for a few meters then fell onto the ground. "Anyone else who has a problem with my wife can take it up with me." The crowd dispersed when I said that.

Padme started to get up, but I picked her up and said," Wait a minute." She obeyed and I found a room where I could lay her down and I locked the door.

She sat up and asked," Ani?" I nodded and she raced toward me, eyes overflowing with tears, and kissed me. "I knew you would come for me," she whispered against my lips. I picked her up and moved her toward the bed. She understood immediately what I wanted and she started taking her clothes off as I started to do. This was going to be a long night.

Cody POV

I saw her surrounded by the enemy and pulled out my gun. I ran to the scene and all of the droids turned to me. Before they had a chance to react, I had shot them all down.

Barriss stared at me in amazement and then hugged me forcefully. "Thank you for rescuing me, Cody!" she said into my shoulder. I hugged her tightly and nuzzled her neck involuntarily.

Barriss gasped and pulled back to stare at me, her face turning a dark shade of green. "I'm sorry, Commander," I said nervously, pulling back from her embrace. I knew I had probably just blown it with her and immediately regretted ever letting her hug me.

But then Barriss put her hand under my chin and forced me to look at her. She had something in her eyes… tears, maybe? "Listen, Cody. There's something I want you to know." She seemed nervous about whatever she was trying to say. "Cody, I've known you for awhile now and a few months ago, I would've never thought of you this way now, but…" she trailed off, looking like she was about burst out crying, which I thought made her even sexier than I already thought she looked. Then she looked into my eyes and she kissed me. It must've lasted a few minutes but even that didn't feel like enough. When we broke apart, we started gasping for air.

We looked at each other, and I started smiling. Barriss had a mischievous glint in her eyes and we went in for more. I started opening my mouth and before we had even registered the fact, we were wrestling with our tongues. I won of course, and tasted the inside of her.

It became apparent to me pretty quickly that this wasn't enough and I reached for her clothes. I then realized something. I wasn't wearing my body armor. Only my black jumpsuit and belt. I looked at Barriss who had started removing her clothes. In no time at all we were fully declothed and making out.

I looked at Barriss once more who had a desperate look in her eyes. "Do it," she said, and I started to, but something woke me up.

"Cody. Cody, wake up!" Rex said, annoyed by my behavior. It wasn't like me to not wake up when told to. "It's time for our sparring session."

My eyes shot open and I sat up, breathing heavily. The dream was so real, I thought. "Um, sorry about that Rex. Just had a…"

"Nightmare?" Rex asked. I smiled a little when he said this.

"No, more like a dream," I said and got out of bed.
