(She sent him coordinates for her stronghold, along with directions to pass as one of her envoy's ships, this way he managed to arrive on Dromund Kaas in stealth)
(His ship lands on the rooftop landing pad, a droid comes towards him as he exits the ship, the droid has an umbrella sort of device to protect him from the rain)
(He is running towards the door which is open, Mira is waiting for him behind the open door, she is wearing a long black dress that covers her whole body, she is smiling, beaming with happiness)
(He stops close to her, their bodies are so close they are almost touching. They are both looking at each other. She caresses his chest)
M - You are wet.
(Her hand goes up to his cheek. He puts his arms around her waist and kisses her very passionately. She puts her arms around his shoulders and they continue to kiss. She breaks the kiss)
M - I have prepared a room for us.
D - A room?
(She smiles mischievously)
M - But you need to not be wet to go inside.
D - Is this room full of electricity?
(She laughs)
M - Not at all, I would just like to keep it clean.
D - Oh. Ok. Where do I …
(She begins undressing him, first taking off his epaulettes, then his blouse. She kneels in front of him, takes off his boots one at a time. She then tries to unbuckle his belt, he grabs her hands, unbuckles his belt himself, she then pulls down his trousers, he is left with his breeches only. She turns to the droid)
M - D3, take the clothes and clean them, put them outside our room, and bring a dozen towels.
D - So, where is this room?
M - Come.
(She takes his hand, leads him through a large room, a corridor, into a smaller room covered wall to wall in blankets, mattresses and pillows)
M - Our room.
(She kneels on the mattress, unbuttons the one button her dress has, she is naked underneath. She then lays back and motions for him to join her. He kneels next to her, he is on top of her, they kiss romantically, they make love)
(When they are done, they start kissing again, he is still on top of her)
M - I have wanted this for so long.
(He lays next to her, gathers her in his arms, they are in each others arms laying side by side)
D - Since you left the other day, I haven't stopped thinking about you. I couldn't concentrate on anything. I had to see you again, had to touch you, kiss you again.
M - So, my seduction worked.
(She smiles)
D - It did.
(He is rather sad, she looks at his face, frowns)
M - Why the long face? Was it that bad?
D - Very much the opposite.
M - Then what is wrong?
D - I don't know what I'm doing. I don't act on pure impulse, unless it's in the heat of battle.
M - Or you are really pissed at someone, or you want revenge.
D - I calculate those things first.
M - You wish you did.
D - Are you saying I'm reckless?
M - Reckless, impulsive, hotheaded. You act first, ask questions later.
D - I am rather impulsive, but I don't act recklessly!
M - Had Vowrawn and the Hand not kept you on a leash back then, you would have charged like a raging bull into the Dark Council chamber.
D - And who says I shouldn't have done that? Maybe Baras would be long gone before so much time was wasted on schemes and manipulations.
M - He probably would be dead, but you wouldn't be Wrath. You might be dead yourself in fact.
(He gets a bit more comfortable on the mattress, hugs her a little closer to him)
D - Ye, well… Maybe.
(He looks at her, it was obvious a thought came to him)
D - Wait… On Odessen, did you know I would come here if you left?
M - I hoped you would, but honestly, no. I expected that you would take my proposition for a night together right then and there. When you didn't, I thought you were done with me.
D - It surprised you that I didn't act on impulse?
M - I feared that again you had chosen someone else over me.
D - Fear again.
M - Fear is a subject I have dwelled long upon. When I became Sith, I believed that I had conquered fear. I realised soon enough, that when it comes to you, fear is one of the prevailing feelings.
D - Why when it comes to me?
M - I fear your rejection.
D - Fear is powerful, no matter the origin or the receiver.
M - I have used it as such. But I would still like to quell it.
D - Fear is rather new to me. I have never felt this kind of fear before, only when it comes to you.
M - What kind of fear?
D - Of loss.
(She laughs wickedly)
M - As a Jedi, I was trained to let go of this kind of fear. I never did, I think I never wanted to.
D - Why didn't you want to let it go?
M - It is a powerful feeling and I like feelings.
D - My father used to treat me like rubbish when I was young. I hated him for that, for many years. I realised later on that he wanted to make me fearless. He used to provoke me and see where it would lead. He wanted me to act regardless of fear. It worked.
M - Your father was Sith?
D - He was a Sith Lord. He trained me till I left for Korriban. My uncle had ties to the Dark Council. When he saw my potential, he informed Baras. And here we are…
M - Have you seen him since?
D - No.
M - Would you like to?
D - I don't know. Never thought about it.
(They stay silent, lost in their thoughts, still in each other's arms, for some time)
D - Are you asleep?
M - No.
(He turns to face her)
D - You are very beautiful.
M - You keep telling me that.
D - Does it bother you?
M - Quite the opposite, but I have no reply to that statement.
D - No reply needed.
(He smiles)
(He caresses her hips, then her breasts)
D - You have luscious yet perky breasts, curves exactly where they should be.
(He teases her nipples, she moans)
D - Your body is perfect.
M - I work out a lot.
(He laughs)
D - I think you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.
M - Will you make love to me, or just continue admiring me?
D - Well… when you put it that way.
(They hug, kiss, make love)
(When they are done, they are both breathing heavily, both on their backs on the mattress)
M - Is it only one night?
(He remains silent)
M - It is, isn't it?
D - I don't know.
(She sits up on the bed)
M - You shower me with compliments, make love to me, and then you leave me? That's the plan?
(He is looking at her, still silent)
M - To be honest, you never said you love me. Not once. I'm just a booty call, aren't I?
D - Mira, If you want me to pay attention to what you are saying, you have to cover yourself first.
M - Right! My nakedness is the reason you can't answer any question?
(She is visibly angry)
D - Don't be upset, I am a little distracted.
(He sits up, comes close to her, caresses her breasts, kisses her)
D - This is all I can concentrate on when you are naked in front of me.
(He gently pulls her to lay on her back, he is caressing one breast, licking and sucking the other, she is moaning)
M - This is unfair…
(They make love again)
(When they're done this time, they are sweating, both sprawled on the mattress haphazardly, both trying to catch their breath)
M - I think we need fluids. At least I do.
D - Yes please.
(She gets up with great difficulty, picks up her robe, puts it on hastily, uses the holocom)
M - D3, bring us some water please.
D3 - Right away ma'am.
M - Oh, and something to eat.
D3 - Something in particular?
D - Pancakes!
M - Pancakes, apparently.
D3 - I will be there shortly ma'am.
(She closes the holocom, sits next to him)
M - So, I'm covered now.
D - I see that, not very fond of it though.
M - I want you to not be distracted.
D - Are we going to have "the talk"?
M - Call it what you like, but I need some answers. So, is this a booty call?
D - You are definitely not a booty call.
M - Are you going back to Odessen in the morning?
D - I have to. I have obligations that can't wait.
M - Are you going back to Lana?
(He sits up)
D - Mira, what is it you want?
M - I think I made it pretty clear. I want you.
D - Don't you have me now?
M - Marry me.
(He seems very surprised, he is also speechless)
M - Ok, too soon. Do you love me?
(He looks at her in silence)
M - Is it so hard to answer that?
D - I love you.
(They look at each other for a long time)
M - I love you too.
(He smiles)
D - I know.
(They both smile)
(The door chimes, D3 is outside)
D3 - May I enter ma'am?
M - Enter.
(D3 enters the room, stays mainly at the door so as not to step on the mattresses, has a visibly hard time finding somewhere to place the goods he is carrying on the serving tray)
M - D3, place the tray on the table.
(She points at the adjacent room)
D3 - Yes ma'am.
(D3 does so)
D3 - Will there be anything else ma'am?
M - No thank you. You may leave.
D3 - Yes ma'am.
(She stands up, picks up a robe, hands it to him)
M - Here, you will get cold otherwise.
D - You could just adjust the temperature.
M - I get distracted also.
(She smiles)
(They each sit in one of the big comfortable chairs arranged around the table, they proceed to stuff their faces)
M - Darmin, I don't want to pressure you into anything you don't want to do, but…
D - But?
M - I want to have more nights like this. No, it's not just that. I missed you, I hadn't realised just how much I missed you until I saw you again. I want to be with you.
(He sits up straight on the chair, heavy sighs)
D - It's not that easy. I have built a life, a base, I rule a planet now.
M - And you are in love also.
(He looks at her intensely)
M - Not with me, with Lana.
D - I meant what I said earlier.
M - What did you say exactly?
D - What is the point of coercing me to tell you what you want to hear?
M - You can't even repeat it.
(She is visibly sad)
M - I don't want scrap, I'm not a dog.
D - Is it either marriage or nothing?
M - I hadn't actually thought about it before tonight, marriage I mean. Now I realise that yes, it's marriage or nothing.
D - You know that I don't appreciate ultimatums.
M - I know all too well.
(She gets up, stands in front of his chair as much as possible, grabs each arm of the chair with her hands, bends her body so that her face is very close to his face)
D - What is going on?
(She bends even closer to him)
M - You are the best lover I ever had, and I have had many, it was a way for me to vent steam. I always fantasised how it would be with you, and experiencing it was beyond anything I had imagined. You… fill me. I want that everyday, every night.
(She licks his ear, he gets a noticeable shiver, he turns to face her directly, kisses her, gets up from his chair, throws everything on the table to the floor and makes love to her on the table)
(When they are both done, they are dishevelled, the floor is a mess and the table is a mess. She is with her back on the table, her legs are hanging from one side of the table, he is between her legs, resting his weight on his hands, they are palm down on the table on either side of her torso. Both are panting again, sweating again. She manages to sit herself up on the table surface and holds his face in her hands. She kisses him softly, he kisses her back, softly, he takes her in his embrace, they continue kissing romantically)
(The rest of the evening passes with them speaking very little, spending their time between short naps and sex. They go on all like this till the morning, sometimes they are overly romantic, sometimes they go at it hard exhausting themselves, sometimes they try to keep it as long as possible to enjoy the pleasure of the slow friction of their joining. Finally, closer to early in the morning than late at night, they fall asleep together in each other's arms)
(Its midday, he wakes up lazily, she wakes up also from his movement, she stretches her body like a cat, he takes her in his embrace, they kiss romantically and for a very long time)
D - I have to leave, it's already very late.
M - Don't go. I have years of longing to catch up, one night wasn't enough.
(He smiles)
D - No, it wasn't.
(He kisses her, again they kiss romantically for a long time)
D - I really have to leave.
M - Will I see you again?
D - Absolutely.
M - The landing codes I gave you are good for today only. We will have to meet elsewhere after that.
D - I will come tonight.
(She kisses him)
M - I will think of nothing else till then.
D - I hope you don't have anything important to do today.
M - I have no idea, my memory of any obligation is wiped at the moment.
D - Lucky you.
(He kisses her, gets up, opens the door, he finds his clothes being carefully folded on a small table outside the door. He dresses himself, turns to her. She is on her feet, covered with a cape, the same she wore last night when they ate. He extends his hand to her, she takes it, he urges her closer to him, they embrace, they kiss)
D - I love you.
(She smiles and radiates happiness as she does so)
M - You smell of me.
D - Good.
(He kisses her again)
D - I have to go.
M - I love you too.
(They kiss again briefly, reluctantly he lets go of her, turns around, exits the stronghold's door he used last night to get in, boards the shuttle and takes off)
