"I never knew a lightsaber could be employed in such a fashion," Jori says as she sets the cooking pot in the drying rack.
Loneva nods. "I learned it on a camping trip on Tython. Quite useful."
"You've already taught me so much. And I feel like I've taught you so little."
"Nonsense," Loneva says as she takes two towels out of the garment reclamator, "You taught me self-healing."
"For minor wounds," Jori sighs as the two walk side-by-side towards the hot spring they had discovered the previous month.
"When are you going to stop selling yourself short?" Loneva shakes her head. "I mean really, what sort of hellish training did you go through that the Overseers made you feel perpetually inadequate?"
"I harbor no ill will toward them," Jori says as she removes her robe, "They may have seemed cruel to me when I was younger, but they were not needlessly so. They were constantly pushing me to do better. I would not be as skilled with the Force as I am without their guidance."
Loneva has already finished removing all but her undergarments. She pays little attention as Jori stares at her. "My Masters on Tython were constantly pushing me, too, but they never made me feel like my failures were the end of the universe. They simply asked me to try again."
As she takes off her last garment, Jori dips a toe into the water, then steps in, allowing her body to acclimate to the temperature. "A friendly enough approach, to be sure. But there are situations when a mistake might cost you your life."
Loneva follows her in, sitting down on her preferred rock next to Jori. "That's why we practice. We can't just throw younglings straight into the rancor's den. Then we'd run out of Jedi."
"I suppose so," Jori shrugs. "What?" She asks as Loneva tilts her head.
"Is something on your mind?"
The Sith quickly looks away. "N-nothing. Just...wondering how Jedi relax."
Loneva's voice is definitely amused as she responds. "Are you asking me to teach you how to meditate Jedi-style?"
"Erm...perhaps some other time. I just want to enjoy the bath now."
"Suit yourself," the Jedi says, and closes her eyes, beginning her own meditation.
Jori dips under the water, soaking her hair and using a precision Force wave to clean it, as well as to scrub the rest of her body. Before she finishes, she has an idea. "Loneva?"
"Yes?" the other woman asks from beneath her meditation.
"Would you...be so kind as to scrub my back for me? It's a bit difficult for me to reach." The Jedi opens her eyes, grabbing her washcloth, and beckons the Sith over. Jori sits in front of her, facing away. She sighs softly at Loneva's touch. "You're applying the pressure at just the perfect level. Even with that rough cloth, it's quite soothing."
"I try."
"Perhaps... that is an advantage of Jedi training. I can't imagine a Sith instructor teaching something so subtle."
"Really?" Loneva asks, "Not even that technique you used on your hair?"
"You...were watching?" Jori's voice sounds almost hopeful.
"That's how I meditate," the Jedi explains. "I close my eyes to avoid distraction, and focus on the currents of Force around me. I saw a Force-shaped outline of you, and small auras coming from your hands. From the way you moved them, I assumed you were cleaning your hair. But I'm surprised you can do that, given what you just said about the lack of subtlety in Sith training."
"Very perceptive. It's something I developed on my own." When Loneva finishes, Jori turns to her. "Shall I...try cleaning your back with my technique?"
Without hesitation, the Jedi turns around. "I'd love that. Please, go ahead."
The Sith flexes her hands, hovering them for a second as she forces them to stop trembling. When she starts her currents, she begins at the top of Loneva's neck. "There we go."
Loneva lets out a long sigh. "Mmm...that feels wonderful. And you say you developed it on your own?"
"Yes...I was experimenting with survival techniques, and needed a way to keep my clothes clean. I found it also worked well on loosening my muscles. Of course, you don't need that since your meditation seems to do that for you."
"All the same," Loneva says, "This feels great. If you wouldn't mind, I'd like you to do that more often."
"I'd be glad to," Jori says, continuing in silence. As Loneva's sighs continue, she feels her face growing warmer. She can barely contain herself. Her hands settle on Loneva's shoulders, as if she were steadying herself.
"Jori? Is something wrong?" Loneva puts a hand on one of Jori's.
"This is it," she answers.
"This is what?"
Jori takes a deep, shuddering breath. "I can't keep it in any longer." She clears her throat, and swallows. "I...I have feelings. Deep-seated feelings. For you, Loneva. I'm very much in love with you. I just couldn't say it, for a number of reasons I can't even count."
The Jedi makes no effort to leave the spring or disengage herself from the Sith. "And how long have you had these feelings?"
"Since the day we decided to put our differences aside. You're a beautiful woman, and a pleasure to work with. I just didn't know if you felt the same. I didn't want to ruin our relationship, and I didn't want to emotionally compromise myself." She takes a deep breath. "If...you feel uncomfortable with knowing this, I understand, and I would be willing to leave your side."
Gently lifting Jori's hands off her shoulders, Loneva turns to face her. "Jori...ever since that day, you've been nothing but a friend to me. I've always enjoyed training with you, learning interesting Force techniques and helping you with your lightsaber skills. Your feelings for me aren't going to scare me away."
Jori's face is now the same color as her lightsaber blade. "A-are you sure? There have been...times when I..." she seems to be searching for a euphemism, "I...sometimes, I...pleasure myself while I'm scrubbing your back. Well...often, when I scrub your back. Sometimes I get myself all the way." She hangs her head in shame. "I'm so terribly sorry."
Loneva chuckles. "What do you have to be sorry for? A compliment's a compliment."
"So...you feel the same?"
The Jedi takes her hands. "Well...other than enjoying seeing your body when we bathe, I haven't really thought about you that way." She tilts Jori's head upwards. "But that doesn't mean I'm not willing to try. We're supposed to be enemies, but I've never trusted anyone as much as I trust you."
Jori smiles brightly. "I...I don't know what to say. I was so sure you'd reject me."
"How's this for a rejection?" Loneva leans toward Jori, kissing her warmly on the mouth.
"I don't know," she says as the Jedi pulls away, "I'd have to hear it again." Loneva kisses her a second time. "It barely feels like a rejection at all."
Loneva lifts Jori up, having the slightly smaller-framed woman straddle her. "That's because it wasn't." She pulls the Sith towards her, their breasts and foreheads pressing together. "Look at it this way: Now you won't have to secretly pleasure yourself when we bathe."
"I won't deny the possibility of getting caught made it thrilling...but your participation will make it even more so." She puts her hands on Loneva's breasts. "Now, I'm afraid I'll have to interrupt our conversation since I've been dying to get these beauties in my mouth." She slides down, hefting Loneva's massive breasts, and encloses her mouth around the right nipple, swirling her tongue around the tip. She takes the remaining nipple and rolls it between her fingers, moaning.
The Jedi strokes her newfound lover's wet hair softly, letting out a few moans of her own. The Sith has a skilled tongue indeed, and she can't wait to try it out elsewhere. She takes Jori's smaller, but perfectly-shaped breasts into her hands, kneading them and flicking the nipples. Jori's moans send vibrations through her breasts and she throws her head back, moaning loudly. "Oh...oh Force!"
Encouraged by Loneva's moaning, Jori pushes her nipples inside her breasts, letting them pop back out. The task soon becomes difficult as the Jedi's nubs get harder and harder. She releases the breast from her mouth, substituting her fingers on the nipple as she kisses Loneva on the mouth. "You're about to be grateful for that breath technique you taught me."
Before the Jedi can ask what she means, the Sith dips under the water and pushes her mouth between her legs. Her tongue runs along the length of Loneva's lips as she twists and pinches her nipples. This is when Loneva remembers that she likes pain. She's particularly glad at this moment that this planet is uninhabited given how loud her moans have gotten. It's a shame the only person who should hear them can't. She grabs the sides of Jori's head under water, stroking her ears with her thumbs. Soon, Jori stops licking her and pulls her nub into her mouth, sucking on it as she inserts two fingers into her. Loneva's two-year dry spell catches up with her quickly, and she swears she can feel the stones vibrating with her moans. Jori pops out of the water, kissing her again. "Mmm."
"Was I good?" the Sith asks, concern on her face.
"You were amazing," Loneva answers, "I just hope I can return the favor."
Jori sits back in her lap, taking one of her hands and placing it on her rear. "Take it from there, and you will." She straddles the Jedi's thigh. Loneva grins, closing her mouth over Jori's, the tips of their tongues dancing across each other as they trade moans and saliva. She slowly slides a finger into the Sith's puckered hole, causing her to let out an uncharacteristically high-pitched moan, sliding her sex across Loneva's thigh. The Jedi squeezes her breast with her free hand. Jori, it seems, hasn't fared much better in her sex life lately, and moans as her climax hits her. "Hnngh!"
Her finger still inside her lover, Loneva moves Jori back to the center, leaning back and spreading her legs. "There's one last thing I'd like to try. I've read about it, but never done it before." She moves Jori's hips around until their sexes are touching, and the Sith gasps. "Have you done this before?"
"I have," Jori grins, "It's phenomenal." She wraps her arms and legs around Loneva's torso, their breasts pressing together, and grinds against her. They kiss deeply as Loneva learns the rhythm of Jori's thrusts and adjusts her hand movement to match. It's Jori who finishes the act first, her whole body quaking, wrapped around Loneva's. At her moment, the Jedi lets out a burst of Force energy that sends a small wave of water out of the spring. The two of them break the kiss and take some time to catch their breath, Jori still wrapped around Loneva.
Her arms sprawled across the side of the spring, Loneva purrs as Jori kisses her neck. "How was that?"
Jori kisses her and smiles. "I haven't had pleasure like that since my Academy days."
"Oh? Who with?"
Jori nuzzles against Loneva. "Dekarra. She was a Pureblood with quite the stamina."
"What happened to her?"
Jori shrugs. "Far as I know, she's still alive. Ours was a purely physical relationship, so it didn't last long after we graduated."
"Fair enough."
The Sith puts her hands on the sides of Loneva's head, looking straight into our eyes. "Loneva. Be honest with me. Look me in the eye and tell me: Do you see us as doing more than training together and sharing a bed?"
The Jedi smiles. "Remember what I said about how I've felt like I can trust you more than anyone else? I meant it. Every word. For me, love is all about trust. I want to share as much of myself with you as I can."
"I'm sure we'll have plenty of time." Jori steps out of the water and grabs a towel. Loneva follows her, pressing her body against the Sith's and wrapping the towel around both of them as they kiss.
"So," she asks, "What sort of fantasies have you had about me?"
Jori blushes, but doesn't try to hide it. "I've had...quite a few. I've wanted to kiss you in every weather. I've wanted to touch your breasts. I've wanted to taste between your legs. I've wanted to use my entire body to massage yours. I've wanted to use your breasts as a pillow. I've wanted to wake you with my tongue. I've wanted you to wake me with a kiss. I've…"
Loneva shuts her up with another kiss. "I get the idea. There are some things I'd like to try with you. But for tonight, if you'd like to use me as a mattress, that'll do."
"Yes. Yes, it will."
