Chapter 8: Realizations and a Blanket of Stars

The stars would soon fade along with their hauntingly enchanted night. The young couple strolled back up to the lake retreat's flower and vine covered balcony with their arms around each other. Anakin led them towards two comfy lounge chairs.

"Oh look Ani, I had forgotten we had left the wine out here".

"I did too. We kind of went on our own little excursion didn't we"?

"Yes and I'm so glad we did. I've had such a wonderful time tonight".

"I have too; I can't believe the night is almost over".

"It went by so fast didn't it" She said sadly.

"Let's make another toast". He picked up the wine bottle and two glasses and walked over to the balcony balustrade. She stood beside him as he poured them two glasses of wine.

"All right what should we toast to this time"? She asked him with a flirty smile.

He handed her a glass and looked out towards the lake and raised his glass towards the lake, she did the same.

"To Russ and Angelica, we thank you for all you have taught us; where ever you are, we hope you are eternally in love, and happy."

They both took a few sips of their wine.

"That was a beautiful toast" She put her hand on his shoulder".

"I'll tell you what else is beautiful… look at that sky". He looked up pointing towards the dark night."

Anakin and Padme were lying down beside one another on the lounge chair his arm was around her, and her head was on his shoulder. They looked up at the sky admiring the visual masterpiece of their universe. An endless display of moons, stars, and planets was visible as far as the eye could see.

He pointed to a dull grayish planet. "See over there that's the moons of Endor".

"I've never been there" She turned her head to look at him.

"Neither have I but I've passed by it with Obi-Wan. It has nine moons and the largest one is called the Forest Moon.

"Oh look there's Alderaan Senator Bail Organa's planet" She smiled and pointed above"

"Yeah and its sister planet is called Delaya". He gazed into her eyes.

"Oh that's a pretty name Ani".

"Yes it is, and there's Corascant". He pointed up again.

"I hope everything is ok. I still wish I could be there when the vote is decided".

He gently took her hand. "Everything will be alright, don't worry. Do you know which one that is"?

"Tatooine"? She asked.

"My old home".

"That's where everything began didn't it"

"Yep everything changed after that". He massaged her hand with his thumb.

"Do you remember the first words you said to me"? She asked.

"I asked if you were an angel". He looked into her eyes again.

"I couldn't believe those words were coming out of a ten year olds mouth". She smiled at him.

"You know I wish I had that angel necklace to give you. I would have loved for you to have it.

"I wouldn't want it".

"Why not"?

"Because I already have a necklace from you and it's more precious to me then anything".

"You mean the Japor Snippet"?

"Yep I keep it on a chain it's in a jewelry box in my room at my parent's house".

"You held on to that after all these years"?

"Of course I did".

Anakin could sense her need to be close to him as she touched her soft cheek to his. His heart sped up a little faster.

"You know when I carved that for you I was thinking how afraid I was that I'd never see you again. That I had to give you something to show how much I cared for you, how much I hoped you wouldn't forget me".

"You touched my heart; I could never forget you" She said barely then a whisper.

Unable to resist her any longer, he turned his head towards hers, and captured her lips.
The perfumed, flowery, warm air served as an aphrodisiac to heighten the mood even further. The soft faint sound of lips coming together, and parting echoed around them. After a few moments their lips parted slightly, and their tongues moved to their own music.

Lying on their sides she caressed his face as his hands ran up her sides, and down her back. Padme let out a soft moan as he placed kisses from her mouth to her ear while nibbling, and trailing his tongue around its shell. His fingers ran along her hairline, and over her gold headband while whispering "I love you" into her ear. Anakin pulled away slowly to look at her.

"I love you Ani" She said softly.

He looked at her with bedroom eyes, lifted his hand, and wiggled his fingers just slightly.

Padme felt him using the force to remove her headband gently from her hair and, forehead. The light clink of metal falling to the stone floor was soon followed with a jingling sound of her black beaded choker. He reached around her and began to untie the bottom of her long braid, threaded it apart with his fingers, and spread it all around her shoulders.

"I love your hair, it spills down all over like a rain storm". He said softly, while still running his hands through her silky, brown, tresses.

Their lips met again with even more passion. She climbed on top of him. The curtain of her hair blocking the view of his lips trailing down to her chin, and neck. Her hands were clutching his leather vest as she felt him pull down the zipper to the back of her dress. He was devouring her neck. The nerve points were coming alive as the pace of his tongue moved quicker, and quicker; their breathing mimicking their hearts racing in their chests.

Padme was losing all control from the sensations he was giving her. The sensual seductive woman in her was tired of being in its cage, and was to ready to break out. She lifted her body up to unhook his leather vest, and helped him take it off along with his tunic. She rubbed her hands over the smooth skin of his bare firm chest, lowered her mouth, and began with soft kisses. The feeling of her wet tongue fluttering all around gave him shivers, and he let out a moan as she licked his nipples lightly. Her eyes were wide with delight as she looked at him up, and down. Padme gripped her hands firmly to his biceps.

"I guess wielding that light saber of yours can't do any harm, and has served you well". She smiled seductively down to him.

He smirked back, and flipped them over peeling the top of her dress down with the motion; their bare chests rubbing over each other as hungry mouths crashed together. His body firmly pressed to hers.

"Anakin" She winced.

"Yes my angel"

"Your light saber is digging into me".

"Oh sorry" He blushed.

Anakin unhooked his belt, and placed his light saber on the floor next to them. He could just hear Obi-Wan now "this weapon is your life; don't just leave it lying around on the floor". Yeah, but Obi-Wan isn't here now he grinned to himself. Anakin studied her beautiful face, and figure. He wanted to capture the image in his mind forever. The desire to touch her overwhelmed him. He reached for her, and glided his hand over one breast gently. She's as soft, and as delicate as rose petals he thought to himself.

The feeling of him massaging her breasts felt wonderful; she closed her eyes to relish what he was doing to her. Electric shocks went up her spine as he sucked one of her rosy nipples into his warm mouth. She could no longer hold back her moans; which only furthered his excitement. Padme ran her fingers through his hair as he sucked, licked, and kissed all over her breasts. Oh my Gods! Are we really going to do this out here she thought to herself?

"Umm…..what if we get caught?" She asked breathlessly.

Anakin shook his head no. "Everyone's asleep I can feel it". He said as he grabbed her dress along with her panties, and pulled them down her legs, and onto the floor.

His mouthed dropped open when he saw all of her.

"You're stunning, absolutely beautiful". He said starring at her intensely.

"Thank you Ani" She said softly.

She was naked for the first time in her life with a man. It was a strange, and exciting feeling coupled with the fact that she knew she was only minutes away of having that scarlet "v" removed from her chest forever. Padme had always assumed that the only way she would be losing her virginity would be as a bride. However, things change when you fall in love with the sexiest man in the universe she thought, and grinned to her self.

Padme's anxiety, and self consciousness rose up in her chest as he ran his hands up her calves, inner thighs, and in between them. She laid her head back, and closed her eyes as he began to move his long fingers over her delicate folds. He moved them like a tracking system searching slowly for her most sensitive area. Her body jerked up, and she began to moan when he found it.

"You like that"? He asked in between kisses in a low sexy voice.

"Yesss……". She said in a tone she didn't recognize.

Anakin began to stimulate her on the tiny spot that wiped all coherent thought out of her mind. He watched in fascination as she became completely unglued with pleasure when he slipped one finger inside her. He could feel that she was ready for him. She was already getting close to the edge; she didn't want it to be this way.

"Anakin stop" She called to him in desperation.

"What Why"? He asked.

"I want you to make love to me, now".

"Are you sure"?

"Yes please Ani".

He nodded, and removed the rest of his clothing. The moment lied before him, and a sudden wave of nerves took hold of him. His skin felt hot, and he began to sweat.

What if I hurt her? What if I disappoint her? He thought to himself.

"Anakin are you ok; you're turning bright red"?

"I'm ok don't worry". He said breathing heavily.

She stroked his hair, and smiled at him. "It's ok, listen to your heart Ani relaaax "

She said in a soothing seductive voice.

Force she's so calm, and I'm a nervous wreck, this is definitely not the Jedi way he thought to himself. Anakin closed his eyes to try to gain some control; his mind wandered back to ten years ago. Qui-Gon's words right before the pod race "remember concentrate on the moment; feel, don't think use your instincts".

Finally, the word, and feeling both were echoing in their minds and bodies as he began to ease his length into her. He became intoxicated by her sweet nectar hugging, and bathing him. A feeling of completion, ultimate connection, and love swept over them. A brief few moments of pain took hold of her as he did away with the last remnants of her purity. Padme clutched his shoulders, whimpered, grit her teeth, and squeezed her eyes shut.

A tear fell from each eye from the overwhelming sensation of him entering her. Anakin kissed each of her eyes gently, and down the track of her tears. Her wet eyelashes fluttered open to look at him.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry; do you want me stop"? He asked with worry and guilt in his voice.

"No please don't stop". She said softly.

"But I hurt you".

"I'm ok Ani don't stop". She said with a tone, and look of desperation.

As Anakin began to move Padme marveled in the feeling of being one with him.

Now I know what the other part of being a woman is all about, she thought to herself. Padme wrapped her arms, and legs around him straining to gather as much of him as possible. Force she feels soooo good. The words pounded into his brain over, and over as well as their hearts in their chests.

The sounds of ecstasy filled the night air as they rocked in perfect rhythm together.
Her heavy eyes managed to capture the sight of him staring hungrily over her, as well as the magnificent sight of space looming over them. Their bodies moved faster; the fire inside them grew hotter, and hotter; both calling out the others name as they bounced each other off the stars. An intense release of orgasmic waves suddenly ripped through their bodies. They felt weightless as if they could look down on themselves.

Amazed at the incredible sensations they had just experienced their bodies tingled all over with satisfaction. Padme was still underneath him; they were both covered in sweat, and both were still trying to catch their breaths. Wow, now I know why he's named Skywalker; she thought, and grinned to herself while stroking his damp hair.

Anakin lifted himself up to look into her eyes. He glided his index finger over her lower lip and bent down to kiss her. She is an angel he thought to himself as he kissed her tenderly.

"promise me". She said breaking the kiss.

"Anything"

Brown eyes looking deeply into blue. "We're always going to listen to each other, trust, and be there for one another".

"You have my word, and my heart. We are in separable".

"We're a team; you're a part of me now". She said still stroking his hair.

"Forever my love" He bent down to kiss her again.

The stars were their only blanket as they made love once again. Promises and vows were made. Lessons learned, and knowledge gained. To hold in their hearts and souls. The evening had gone in an entirely different direction then either could have predicted. It was a night of exploration, personal, and sexual discovery. Anakin and Padme had experienced more in these precious hours together then any other time in their lives; their last night of innocence.
