[23:14]

: Padme' had returned back to the lake house. And she had even gone so far as to change her clothes. The dress that she now wore, did nothing but emphasize her femine features every curve was made noticable. But Padme' felt that the dress simply covered her more. That it gave her a serious look, and that Anakin would be more mindful of his ways around her. -She now stood in her home, gazing out the one of the many beautiful windows. She had her hands drawn behind her back and she was thinking. -Remembering the morning she had experienced with Anakin. -Padme' was a Senator, a public speaker as well as a public figure. And she found it rather frustrating when she couldn't form words that made sense around him. Her lips still burned with the kisses she had received, and she wondered why she was so insistant that he not touch her. As she wondered this, her hands made her way to her neck. She touched lightly before allowing her hands to trail down and trace her own form. [23:17]

: It was a while before Anakin returned to the house. He looked to have been walking for a long time, but his clothing was clean looking for the most part. Maybe some mud and twigs on his boots but he took those off by the door before entering. --- There was a lot on his mind, but he no longer felt violent... or was so full of hormones that he might try and force himself on Padme in any way. He was safe around her again, and that was all that mattered to him. Still, he was lost in the thoughts of ~Monster... killer... murderer... EVIL~ surficing in his head. He couldn't deny he enjoyed what he'd done... but he also knew he'd hated himself for it. [23:26]

: She heard him return she wondered if she should go and greet him. Sighing she decided to wait and see what he would do. If he came to her, she would strive to explain herself. And if he stayed away, then she'd feel guilty and be irritated with herself. -Padme' pressed her lips together and remained standing near the window. She tilted her head a bit in the direction of the sounds that she had heard. But for the most part, Padme' found herself to be quite a jumble of nerves. [23:31]

: Anakin came to her not long after. He'd managed to force a smile and push unpleasent thoughts from his mind. "Did you have enough time to yourself Padme or do you want me to go away again?" He asked softly. He kept his distance, trying to remain nonthreatening. He loved her... he didn't feel the need to come too close if she didn't want that... he'd already found his release. besides, he was worried about her. [23:38]

: She turned slowly to face him. And she was relieved that he had come to her. "I want to apologize..." She began as she looked him over. "I didn't mean to be so...difficult." Padme' finally stated. Giving a sigh she turned completely to reveal that she was wearing the necklace he had given her a long time a go. Padme' took a few steps away from the window as she continued to speak. "I told you last night that I loved you and this is true..." She paused as she stood behind a large sofa. "I just don't know if I'm in love with you....Anakin..." A light smile formed. "I hope you wont take offense to my honesty." Her hands moved back and forth nervously over the top end of the couch. [23:42]

: He stayed against the doorframe, listening to every word with a soft smile. He had relaxed considerably, that was good. Far better then being full of pent up rages and lusts. At each statement he nodded his head slowly and waited for her to be done. At last, when he did speak, he said, "I take no offense... I can wait... wait for you to feel for me as I do you.." With that he pushed from the door frame and approuched her slowly. His eyes fell apon the charm he was wearing. "I remember when I gave you that." He said. "I wasn't sure if I was going to see you again. Did it bring you luck?" [23:46]

: She looked him in the eyes as she touched it and held it between her hands. -"Plenty of comfort if anything..." She sighed. Padme' broke her eye contact and she looked down at the necklace a moment, before allowing it to fall free and lean against her chest. Pressing her lips together she sighed again, "Anakin I don't like the idea of you waiting for me...it just makes me nervous." She admitted as she brought her hands close together and fiddled with her fingers. "I can't remember ever being nervous before coming here with you." [23:50]

: "I'm sorry My Lady..." He stopped a few feet from her. "It's just... it's not something I can turn off... it's been with me ten years already. I fell in love with you the day we met... but when I was nine I didn't fully understand what I was feeling..." He placed his left hand over his chest, covering his heart. "I put my heart in that jewel... in hopes you'd never forget me... I gave it to you, to keep forever... even if... even if you cannot share it." He turned then, letting out a soft sigh and dropping his hand to his side. --- Things seemed fine after that... though anakin was quiet, giving Pamde her distance. However, when dinner came around, there was a knock at the door. --- Anakin was instantly on his feet. He was ready to defend Padme just incase. He didn't feel an assassin but something was wrong. One of the servents who had made them their food infact, returning to the dinning room with a distraught looking woman. [00:03]

: Padme' looked towards the woman, and she held her hand up to calm Anakin. She touched lightly at her lips with her double folded napkin and her concerned eyes met with that of the woman. " ...Dear lady are you alright?" She questioned as she slowly scooted her chair back to stand. -The woman's bottom lip quivered and a loud squeak of choked tears came forward. Steadying herself she looked towards Padme'. "My daughter...my child...my baby has been murdered." She swallowed down more tears and she continued to have spuratic chokes of her sad tears. Padme's eyes bore shock as she quickly rushed over to comfort the woman. "Its alright its alright..." She soothed, wrapping her arm around the woman she led her to the evening parlor where a warm fire was burning. Helping her to sit down she took a seat next to her. "Go on..." She encouraged softly as she held out a hankercheif. The woman greatfully expected, and when she touched the soft fabric she broke into a hysteria of tears. "We had fought just last night...Corid my girl...I lost her sister last winter. She was all I had...It got dark and I couldn't find her..." Padme' listened intently, and her own eyes reflected the sadness of the woman. - "So I went lookin for her cuz my baby...she's...the dark scares her...and it was gettin awful dark..." More tears came forward and the woman tried to wipe them away. "When I went lookin...this man...had found a girl in the stream...dead....murdered..." Padme' gasped lightly and she covered her own mouth, before placing a hand on the greif stricken woman. "Shh you must calm yourself.." Padme' suggested as she tried hard to sooth her. [00:11]

: Anakin stayed sitting, his eyes focusing on the woman. He worked to keep his face fixed. He knew who this woman was even before she mentioned the daughter's name. This place was so peaceful.. he doubted murder happend here. It wasn't Coruscant. Still, they had gotten refugees to this world lately... perhaps one of them would be blaimed for it. --- The woman sobbed, putting a hand over Padme's. "Oh My lady... please.. you have to help me find out who killed her. I heard you have a bodyguard from the senate with you? Maybe he can be of help?" She glanced over at the man in black. --- Anakin stood at that, moving over to Padme. He said nothing but he wanted to laugh. The poor woman had no idea... But he couldn't laugh...not at a time like this. Not just because Padme might look at him odd.. but because anyone would. [00:35]

: Padme' frowned deeply and she touched the woman's face. Taking the hankercheif from the woman she wiped at her tears and smiled lightly. "Of course...shh..." Looking her over she felt such pain. "My body gaurd Anakin Skywalker..." She motioned over to him with her hand. But she never broke the eye contact she held with the woman. "He'll help us to find the killer." Padme' brushed the woman's hair back. -The poor woman, it was one of the saddest sights she had ever seen. And it was quite troubling to hear of murder... [00:43]

: Anakin looked to the woman, nodding his head. "I will do what I can." He knew he couldn't actually 'find' the murderer... he was the one that killed her after all. He was starting to feel sad again... that girl had been loved after all.. and now her mother missed her terribly. He knew how his mother would feel if he had died. She would be in agony... just as this woman was now. He reached out his left hand and placed it on the woman's shoulder as well. He was trying to be comforting, geniunly. Still.. the echo of ~Monster~ came to his mind again. --- The woman sniffled. "Please.. come with me... I need you to see her.. my poor prescious Corid.." She patted the gloved hand on her shoulder as well. --- It wasn't long before they were shown to the poor girl's drenched body. She had been placed with her hands on her sides but her eyes were left open... the mother had wanted to close them but, it was a clue to the murderer. Her throat was red... crushed... in a way a lot like Dorme's had been... infact.. the look in her eyes were the same. [00:50]

: When Padme' saw the girl's body she found herself drawn closer. -She stepped forward and kneeled down by her body. "Such fear..." She stated aloud as she looked her over. The chilling coldness of death surrounded the corpse. And yet Padme' found herself touching Corid's stiff hand. -It was like dejavue for her, and it was frightening. She turned to face the Mother and she frowned. "I'm truly sorry for your loss." Padme' turned once more to look the body over before landing on her eyes. It was the same terrifying look she had seen in Dorme'. And the bruises, the flesh around the girl's neck was red. She stepped back and stood suddenly. Looking around she felt uneasy. Had she caused this? Was her assassin closer then she had thought? The was all too weird. -She turned to the woman and touched lightly at her face. "You need to rest." -The woman shook her head no. Being so close to the body of her daughter had brought a fresh batch of tears. And it was nearly impossible to console her. "My baby...she's all I had...who would do this?!" She yelled frantically. "Corid! My baby...my precious daughter..." The emotional Mother was becoming angry and she roughly shoved Padme' aside as she rushed to join her daughter's side. [00:56]

: Anakin stood near by, his hands tucked close to his body as he looked down at his handywork. It was only then that it dawned on him that what was seen of her was probably what Padme had seen of Dorme. If she connected the deaths... she might suspect him. He didn't want that.... for several reasons. Chief of which, he loved her more then anything and didn't want her to be in pain. - When he saw the woman push Padme, his face darkened briefly. Stepping forward he placed a hand on Padme's shoulder. "Are you alright my Lady?" He asked, trying not to feel angry as he looked down at the upset woman. [00:59]

: Padme' felt horrible, she turned to face him and she grabbed at his arms. "Can't you do something for her Anakin?" Padme' stole a glance back to the greif stricken woman and she frowned. "Please...she looks so lost..." She trailed off as she took a deep breath. The fog had begun to roll in and the night was unusually cold. It was down right creepy, and Padme' found herself more then a little afraid. She had speculations. Ones that she wished to discuss with Anakin once they were alone. But right now, she wanted to be sure that the woman would be alright. And the body...the girl Corid, her body needed to be laid to rest. [01:04]

: Anakin saw the look on her face and in her eyes and felt a stab of pain go through him. It was horrible to see that look. His own brow creased with sadness. "I.. I don't know Padme." He said. He could do something for that woman. He could snap her neck like a twig if he wanted to. That would solve the grief issue but, that would do nothing for anyone. Another death so soon would raise too much suspscion. At least he took no joy in this one's pain though he ironicly thought he should. Perhaps because of how Padme was looking at him. The pain she was in. - Pulling his hands from Padme he turned to the woman and said, "We will do what we can... I'm sorry for your loss." That was as much as he could do. --- It wasn't long before anakin had returned to the house with Padme... ready to listen to what she had to say [01:12]

: She was pacing before the fire, lost in thought. She turned finally to glance at him. "Why aren't you talking? ...The silence is deafening." She paused before the fire and frowned. "That death...that girl...it was so much like Dorme'...I'm being haunted." She touched lightly at her forhead and she frowned. "I'm sure I'm being quite selfish. This woman...she just lost her daughter. Her child. And all I can think is that the death is more then just a tragedy...maybe its a sign." Padme' stared down at the burning flames of the fire and sighed. "Anakin I thought I was doing good...with the military creation act...and it seems that death surrounds me. The coldness in my hand after touching her...I cant get it to feel warmth. The icey look in her eyes...I see it each time I close my own." -She had her back to him, and she sighed yet again. "I want this Monster found...this...being that has no respect or appreciation for life..." [01:17]

: Anakin watched her pacing without interfeering. He had been quiet because he felt there was something that was on her mind that she wanted to get off. Instead, he was a bit surprised when she almost yelled at him. Frowning, he moved towards her, towards the fire and rested a hand on her shoulder. He hated seeing her like this... but he knew he couldn't cheer her up either. He had to find some way to relax her without getting her upset. "You worked so hard to try and defeat the act Padme... but I'm sure this has nothing to do with it. If death seems to surround you now then you're lucky... it hasn't surrounded you your whole life." He tried to ressure her but all he could think of was Dorme, and Corid, begging for their lives. - When her last words hit him he almost wanted to cry. ~She called you a monster..~ His inner voice laughed ~And you are a Monster~ His right hand clenched into a ball, trying to chase that voice away. "I will do what I can, my lady.." He said, his eyes closing. [01:25]

: She turned to face him. "The person behind this must be a sad individual..." Padme' licked at her lips when she met his eyes. "In my opinion...people that kill...that so obviously take pleasure in death...do it because they lack something. Usually love and attention." Padme' sighed deeply, it seemed all she could do was sigh out of frustration. She pulled at her skirt and then played with the necklace Anakin had given her. "Its so easy to write off people that kill...when you find them...I want to see them. I want to look into there eyes." Her voice grew soft as she imagined where the killer could be hiding and what they would say when standing before her. "Its really sad...killing innocent young girls...I'm sure our murderer is a man...A sick and twisted one...one that has no soul." Her eyes narrowed a moment as she pictured a man that was as ugly on the outside as his soul. She shook the image from her thoughts and looked to Anakin and gave him a look of wonderment. What was he thinking? Did he have any thoughts? [01:31]

: Anakin took in her words and tried not to break his expression. It hurt him to hear her talk... but in some ways she was right. He was lacking love and attention... Well, maybe not love but the game she played with his heart had hurt... or perhaps.. not a game. She was just confused but he hadn't been able to take it. "Why do you think they have no soul Padme?" he asked softly. He had to ask that, because on the inside he could feel himself starting to panic a little. He wasn't even sure why. He thought he had controlled his fear... but... he knew, if she found out... what was left of his soul would be gone... the dark side would take it. and he would let it happen and be the monster forever. Perhaps she didn't understand.. some people killed because it made them feel 'normal' others killed for pleasure. The second were evil, the first were just twisted.. they could be 'helped'. But he was in the second bracket.. he didn't kill to feel normal. He hadn't killed the girl because she represented anything shaming to him or something he wanted. He did it meerly to feel her suffer and afraid... that's what made him evil. [01:37]

: She shrugged a bit. "I don't know...I just feel bad for them almost. I pity them..." Padme' looked him over and studied his form. She narrowed her eyes a bit and searched his eyes. "Are you hiding something from me?" She questioned suddenly and directly. Padme' had just 'felt' something. And the question he had asked was an odd one. It seemed innocent enough. Almost child like...but there was something nagging at her. Something that caused her to have a shadow of doubt. And she didnt understand where this feeling came from, or why she found herself looking at Anakin the way she was. [01:40]

: Anakin didn't know what to say. She was a politcian.. a good one... thus good at reading people. Could she read him? Was there something in his eyes, his almost stoney expression that cast doubt in her mind about himself? Or was it the way he had asked her. Closing his eyes he shook his head. "If I am I do not mean to." He told her, hoping that would be enough to settle her down. He wasn't sure what to do... she couldn't find out.. no... he'd lose himself.. and he didn't want that. Or rather, worse, he'd lose her for good... and he wanted her for the rest of his life. "Perhaps you should get some rest?" [01:43]

: Her eyebrows arched with question. "What does that mean?" He spoke again, suggesting she rest. "I don't need rest...Anakin what is it?" Padme' questioned as she watched him. He definately seemed bothered. Not exactly nervous, but an emotion pending agitation. She looked around the room. They were more then alone, all of the servants had been dismissed and they had retired for the evening. He was safe with her. He could open up and talk...tell her...trust her. [01:45]

: Anakin let out a sigh, turning from her and sitting down on the couch by the fireplace. Running a hand back through his wavey golden hair he said, "I just don't know how to feel about all this. I mean, I don't feel any assassin on this world after you yet.. you're right, there is something possibly dangerous surrounding you. I want to protect you, but I'm worried I won't be able to." It was an honest answer. He was dangerous... and he was worried that he might become dangerous to her. He didn't want that at all. [01:48]

: Padme' watched him sit down and she was quiet for a moment. "You know who killed the girl." A statement not a question. She crossed her arms over her chest, then quickly uncrossed them. A light in take of air and she crossed her arms over her chest once more. She was waiting for his answer. A chill had just crept into the room, and despite the fact that Padme' was standing by the fire she felt cold. She didn't quite suspect Anakin yet...But the thoughts were on there way. Her heart was racing, and she didn't understand why... [01:52]

: "As you said.. I am quiet certian.. a monster killed her." ~You're the monster Anakin...~ his inner self again. One might call it the innocent child who died long ago inside of him... who existed only as a ghost pointing out his faults. This was another thing that made full embrace tempting.. he'd never have to hear that voice in his head again... he would crush it... because his soul would be gone... and that was the voice... what was left of it already. - He looked up at her, a frown spreading on his lips. Did she suspect him? This was not a good sign... but he couldn't let his heart become overwhelmed with fear. He'd take this one step at a time. "Are you alright Padme?" [01:55]

: She shook her head no and continued to stare him down. "No." Padme' was growing frustrated. "No, I'm alright. Your keeping something from me...why are you shutting me out?" She was persistant and stubborn. Not one to give up so easily. And the fact that he wasn't entirely answering her questions was causing an alarm to arise with in her. Did he...? NO. Of course not. But...where did he go after there small quarell? ...And Dorme' had been left in his care...So? -The questions that flew to Padme' swarmed around her mind and heart. Had she been blind? Was he her assassin? -Perhaps she would be safer completely alone... [01:59]

: But, if he had been there to kill her would she not have been dead already? In truth.. he was not her assassin... he was simply a.. mad man as Corid had thought. - The looks she was giving him kept bringing on the heartache. Had he made a serious mistake in this? No.. he had to find a way to resure her... to relax her... he wasn't ready to give up on her yet.. or himself. There was still good in him... he knew it. Sidious hadn't destroyed it in him. That part was left to him... - Standing up from the couch, Anakin moved to her, taking her arms suddenly. Fixing his resolve he stared deap into her eyes. "Padme... please listen to me. You're upset... you're scared.. I know that. But I'm here to protect you. Please, don't act like I'm a lier... especially because I love you." [02:11]

: She jumped when he moved so swiftly and took ahold of her arms. "Where did you go when you left me in the field?" Her eyes burned with the desire to gain answers. "You were angry." Something just didn't make sense to her. And if in fact he had killed that poor girl. Then...Padme' might be able to ignore it. She couldnt quite decide. She would cross that bridge when forced to come to it. But right now, she had to know. It was important to her. "Love doesnt prevent lies." She stated finally as she pulled away from him. [02:16]

: He let her go and sighed softly. "I went for a walk. It helps me think." Anakin kept his hands at his sides, restraining himself from touching her. It seemed to be causing her pain after all. And he didn't want to do that to her. "I wasn't angry Padme.. I just wanted to leave you alone since you asked me to." He turned from her then, shaking his head. "I just wish... this hadn't happend. Things were starting to go well and now you don't trust me." He walked towards the door then, putting distance between himself and her. "Please.. get some rest. I'm sure things will clear up when you calm down... I know this has to be stressful for you." And with that, he started to leave. He couldn't tell her though... because if she belived he had murdered the girl.. she might connect it to Dorme. Padme might be able to ignore the girl's death, but could she ignore Dorme's? [02:20]

: Padme' turned in time to see him head for the door way. "Anakin..." She followed him swiftly catching up to him. "Dont talk to me, as if I'm idle minded...I'm perfectly able to stand, sit or talk rational...I dont need rest...and I'm calm." She continued to follow him as he walked on. "Your the one that's running away." She pointed out. -She hadn't asked him to leave her. In fact she wanted to be near him, more then anything. -This time around she wanted to sit with him. Talk all night. Maybe even touch all night...But only if she trusted him completely...and she was finding it hard to trust him, when she was getting skeptical responses and odd reactions. [02:25]

: Anakin stopped in the doorway. Turning his head slightly he said, "I... I thought you wanted me to leave.." He frowned. Was he really not that good at reading her? Perhaps he had missunderstood her frustraition completely. He had figured that it would be best for them both if he left. - Giving her a strange look he pulled his lips out of their frowning configuration and let out a sigh. "I'm not meaning to run away. In truth I want nothing more then to be right here with you. You make me feel good inside... so it's hard to see you distraught.. hard to think that you do not trust me. Can you understand that?" [02:32]

: Listening to his words she frowned a bit herself. "What happened within this last day that we lost each other again?" Taking a few steps closer to him she smiled. "You need to laugh just as much as I do..." Her voice was soft. And she realized that her persistant nagging was only making things worse. "I'm not distraut...and I do trust you..." The last part of her sentance was a bit hesitant. But if she didn't trust him, would she still be standing there? Probably not...-As she looked him over a new question came to mind. And before she could stop herself from asking her lips parted and she spoke..."Have you ever been with a woman before?" She immediately regretted her question and she looked away a moment to mentally scold herself. How completely stupid...She thought sadly. Trying to brush off and correct her mistake she smiled nervously. "What I mean to say is...well...have you...ever been envolved?" Padme' held a flushed appearance and she was ready to stamp her foot with frustration. -She just wanted to know what he might be used to. She had no comparisons to make. And she was hardly around couples...The only romance she had ever been subjected to were in the forms of books or light hearted stories told to her by her hand maidens. And now that she was without them. She was lost. She couldn't ask Anakin for advice on how to behave around him. Could she? [02:37]

: Her line of questioning actually made him smile. He turned fully to face her, placing one hand on the side of her arm. So she was willing to trust him, well that was good. "you're right.. I do need to laugh.." And that brought the impish grin back, as if he was a small boy again. It was good to have that side of him brought out. The carefree young man he should be. - When she asked him about involvement in the oppisit sex that DID make him laugh. Gripping her arm tight but not hurtfull he shook his head. His grin was from ear to ear and his insides were quiet warm again. "No.." He didn't break his smile even as she looked away. He liked this... to see her blushing. It meant she might actually be thinking of him in a sexual way. - Reaching his other hand up he turned her cheek to face him. "Padme... my dear Padme... I could have my pick of anyone I wanted pretty much on Coruscant. Men and woman, flocking themselves at my feet as I walk with the Chancellor. But I have bedded none of them. Even the chancellor laughs at that. Why? Because I've been saving myself.." A pause, and he bent towards her, his lips hovering so close to hers again, "For you." [02:42]

: A quizzical look crossed her features. Her brows furrowed and she swallowed hard, nearly gulping. "Me?" Her voice was far more child like then many could have ever heard. Fear was evident in her eyes. But it wasn't your average every day look of fright. It was the fear that he had been so honest and forward. So completely...inappropriate. Yes, she had questioned him! But that was an accident...And he had answered. She blushed again. He had answered. Padme' continued to hold her innocent look. And she wondered if he was as hot as she was. She felt like she needed to step back and fan herself. How could he be so honest? He was such a boy...Telling her he could basically have anyone...How nerve wracking and intimidating. [02:45]

: A boy who's first words to her were 'are you an angel?'. Anakin was always honest about those sorts of feelings. And he was honest now... trying to show her how much she meant to him. To say that he hadn't even lusted or had another, because all he wanted was her. - He didn't frown this time as she backed away, leaving him with empty air at his hands. He just continued to smile. Perhaps it was because she was blushing. "Yes Padme... you. Because I've loved you the momment I saw you... because you hold my heart in your hands.. or rather.. around your neck." He gestured towards the charm he'd made her when he was nine. [02:49]

: Her eyes flashed down to look at the necklace she wore around her neck. "Oh..." She responded quietly. Thats right he loved her. Of course...How could she forget that? Her cheeks were still pink, but the blush was starting to fade. She knew she was blushing and this embarrassed her more. He had the upper hand. He held the power at this moment, and she was intimidated. But why? -And suddenly she found herself speechless. Lost in thought...thinking...wondering...hormones of her own...curiousity... [02:52]

: He stood where he was. He wanted her to come to him... wanted her to be ready for him. Perhaps if she was, he could get her to stop thinking about Dorme and Corid. That she might think only of him. It was his hope, and it made him continue to smile. "Is anything wrong?" He asked softly, noticing that she was now speachless. Perhaps she had cut herself off from such ideas for so long... or maybe she had a bunch of one night stands and found his admission of staying true for her odd. Either way, he would accept her and continue to love her. [02:57]

: She snapped from her thoughts and looked to face him. Padme' raised her eyebrows again with question and smiled lightly. "What? Oh...No..no..nope." A small nervous laugh escaped her lips and she cleared her throat. "I just umm...well...I umm...well..." She laughed again and found herself terribly embarrassed. She probably looked rather stupid to him. Padme' looked towards him, "At least I'm entertaining I hope..." She finished with a light frown. Of course she did find it a bit odd that he stayed true and pure for her. That in it's self was intimidating, as well as beautiful and intriguing. His kisses had an affect on her...They left here dazed and smiling. Padme' only wondered what more would do for her. [03:01]

: "Well, you did saw we needed to laugh, right?" He flashed teeth this time, amusment in his apperence. It was good to hear her laugh, even if it was nervous. He stood tall, tilting his head back but still holding his eyes on her. "Perhaps we need more laughder then?" He flexed his fingers. "Maybe I should start tickling you again." He suggested, taking a step forward. Yes, that had made her laugh.. that had cheered her up earlier until she litterly pushed him off. Well, if she rejected him again this time he wouldn't feel the need to hurt anyone. He'd done enough of that lately. [03:06]

: Padme' hardly noticed his wiggling fingers, his funny threat to make her laugh. -She was else where. Truth be told, she hadn't really heard him. She was day dream...imagining and wondering. She had been touched by his words. He was so handsome, and it was probably very true that many had offered. And to think he had declined them all...he had wanted to wait. For her. That was love if she ever heard it. Of course she loved him, she had admitted this. It was falling in love that was the problem. And she was falling...hard. [03:08]

: He was at her side at a heartbeat, wrapping his arms about her and kissing her cheek. "I'll do anything to make you happy." he whispered, moving to kiss her ear next. He stopped there though, letting her make the next move. Was she going to break contact or kiss him back? He wasn't going to push her... he justed wanted her to know... how much he wanted this... needed this in his own way. [03:15]

: She scrunched her shoulders up when the chills coursed through her. His voice gave her chills, so close to her ear. His kisses and touches. And a statement. He would do anything to make her happy? Was she really that wonderful? What had she done to deserve the love he so openly projected towards her. A smile touched the corners of her mouth and she pulled back just enough to look him in the eyes. "Will your words of love take us away?" She questioned. Padme' wondered if she had made sense. "I feel sure that they will..." She managed to steal a kiss from him. The first one that she had attempted. She had advanced! And some how her right hand had settled on the back of his neck, touching lightly at the waves in his hair. [03:18]

: That kiss she had stolen felt better then any he had given her before. His heart was on fire once more.. glowing with love and more... "Yes." He said simply, running his left hand back through her hair even though it was gloved. He pressed his lips to hers, kissing her deaper then he had before, trying to get his mouth around. He wanted her... wanted to make her warm in his arms... wanted to show her... show her that he was hers forever if she only wanted him. [03:24]

: Before she was able to say anything he had kissed her again. And this kiss was very intense. Padme' found herself leaning back and tilting her neck back as she imagined this was a very romantical stance. -She felt dazed and confused by the sensations her body was being subjected to. She felt a desire and need to be closer to him. To touch and to be touched. Was this shameful? Or was it simply how you felt when you were in love. -The kiss weakened her and she had no choice but to pull back for a breath of fresh air. "Anakin...I..." She paused, searching for words. But words wouldn't do, not now anyways. So she went with her feelings, she leaned in again and kissed him. Hoping she wasn't coming off any other way but genuine. [03:29]

: His other hand dropped down lower on her, moving down across her back and gently stroking her through her clothing. His lips and mouth formed a seal around hers, his eyes closing as he slowly moved back towards the couch with her... almost pushing her as he went. He was being gentle of course, letting her get away if she wanted to. He hoped she wouldn't... he hoped this would be their momment together.. their perfect time. A soft couch with a roaring fire... might be perfection for a pair of star-crossed lovers. [03:35]

: Padme' wasnt thinking ahead, so she had no way of knowing what was to come next. Nor how it would occur within the coming moments. His kisses seemed to hold her captive. And she loved it. -He had told her to relax, to rest, to calm down. She was far too stressed. Well...what away to relax. When he kissed her back, she could taste him and this sent more then chills through her body. Now she was on fire, hot and panting because of a few deep kisses. -She felt herself moving back, heading towards the couch. Padme' had secretly envisioned something like this, while she had waited for his return. To be with him physically is what made her uneasy. To give Anakin her body, would mean that he definately had her heart. She had no necklace to give him. But hopefully he would understand that she had valued her innocense. -These were ideas that she thought sure she would explain once it came down to it. But right now she was caught up in the moment. In his kiss, in Anakin...and the rational side of Padme' had been tucked away. Right now she was reacting and not thinking. [03:40]

: He gently forced her back onto the couch, falling over her legs as he did so. This just felt perfect right now. Here he was.. far away from Coruscant... alone with the woman he loved in a lovely dark room with only a roaring fire for light. He could feel nothing but her... her lips against his, her warm body under his. - He let go of her, his eyes opening as he smiled. Maybe this would relax her too. She had seemed so stressed. To help her would be his honor. "Do you want this Padme?" He asked softly, pulling his gloves off and tossing them to the ground next to the couch. He wanted this... he was already aroused... feeling his clothing bind a bit too tightly around his crotch. [03:46]

: Padme' shook a bit from just being nervous. She was torn. Why did he have to be such a damn gentleman? Yes she wanted it. But to be faced with the question led her to feel embarrassed and in experienced as well as naive. Her lips were soft and swollen with the many kisses they had just shared. And she was truly too stubborn to back out now. She wanted to kiss him more, to enjoy the feel of one another. It was just a bit over whelming. She looked him in the eyes and nodded yes. "..I've never been with a man before." He probably knew this, but she was still inclined to state this truth. Her chest heaved up and down and when she saw him take off his gloves she realized she would have to shed some clothing as well. [03:50]

: "Neither have I." He beamed, bringing a hand to her cheek. His fingers splayed, stroking gently across her soft lips, her chin, the tip of her nose. He wanted to know all of her, but he would start with her face. Her skin was so soft to the touch, and she was so beautiful. And now, she was agreeing to be his. A tear came to his eyes, one of joy as he leaned down to kiss her once more. - His hands moved down across her body again, trying to feel her through the fabric of her dress. Never an easy task, but one that needed to be done... she might still be working to taking it off after all. "I love you.." He whispered, kicking his boots off as he had his gloves. [03:55]

: She hadn't made any attempt at removing her own clothing. In fact she would feel most comfortable if she could remain clothed. This thought made her laugh lightly Just nervous...thats all she was. When he kissed her she noticed his tear, which made her own eyes gloss over with emotion. "But why?" She whispered softly. "Why do you love me?" She questioned as she touched his face. Her brown eyes sparkled with warmth, love and desire. But her heart ached. She had never been loved before. Except the love that came from her family. To most men she was considered too head strong, too stubborn and far too difficult. A man in a dress really... [03:59]

: "Because you are my angel.... you changed my life... you brought me my freedom.." In a lot of ways Qui-Gon had done that but he credited her with the act even if she hadn't belived that they should trust him to win that race at first. He couldn't understand why everyone didn't love her... she was perfect in his eyes. She was so kind... some might consider her stubborn but he loved that about her. She stuck to her ideals. - He sat, half on her, strattling her legs though not in a painful way. His hands moved behind himself, tugging at her footware to dispose of it as he had his own. [04:09]

: His answer still didn't help her to make the connection of love. But she didn't question it. She couldnt, or she would question herself. She felt him working to remove her shoes and when his fingers graced her ankle she felt her skin twitch with anticipation. She had a good bit of clothing on. A few layers at least. The dress, two under slips, a bodice with a small chemise top her stockings...two under skirts...a pair of pantaloons that resembled white shorts and of course her final under garment that covered her secret and valued purity. She had dressed well, in the hopes that her layers would be trouble some and anything attempted wouldn't happen... -Taking a deep breath, she felt useless and pathetic to lay back and have him work to undress her. Slowly but surely she began to unhook the little small crafted hooks that bound her dress together in the front. They were hidden beneath the decorative stitches but they were there. -Once she was nearly finished she looked up at him expectingly. "I'm sorry..." She apologized, she was blushing again and her voice was very soft. [04:13]

: He was looking down at her, no longe on her legs but on the couch with her legs sitting over his own. "For what?" He asked in a slightly amused voice. What was she appologizing for now? Still, he couldn't help but enjoy her voice. He ran his hand over her foot gently, trying to tickle her for just an instant. "How much do you have on anyway?" He knew it would be a strange answer... he could tell even now she was nicely layered. It even amuzed him a bit. Was her political office requiring her to dress so elabrately or was it because she was in power that she felt like dressing so well? For his part, he didn't wear much at all so it was quiet easy for him to reach up his arms and slip out of his black tunic. On the ground he tossed it, exposing his toned and hairless chest to her. There were a few old marks apon it but they were flat and faded.. leaving his skin perfectly smooth. [04:24]

: A frown graced her features. "A good bit...I'm afraid." She swung her legs over his and pulled herself up to stand. "I'll be right back." She stated quickly. Padme' looked him in the eyes, trying to stay calm and appear sexy. -Leaving the room she took a few slow steps forward before breaking into a run for her bedroom. -Once inside she frantically tore at the front of her dress, popping several of the hooks. She made a face, surprised that she had been so careless. But to be so clothed was embarrassing her. And regardless of his 'claimed' inexperience with women, he seemed to know what he was doing. He seemed to be the calm one, he seemed in charge. This aroused and excited her...while simultaniously making her nervous. She dropped the dress to the floor and stepped out of it. Kicking it under her bed, she found herself not giving a damn. She made her way over to her vanity mirror. Hurriedly she shed the rest of her clothing. All but her bottoms...her under wear. They were made up of thin fabric. And she felt it wasn't important to remove those...just yet. She looked her form over in the mirror and worried that she wasn't very physically appealing. She was active so she was in good shape. Toned...But a bit petite. -Padme' sighed deeply and felt that she was taking far too much time. She turned and rushed to her closet, rumaging through it a moment she pulled out a black robe...soft and silky with a long flowing train. She quickly slid into the robe and then hesitantly made her way back to the evening parlor. She paused in the door way. Her heart beating even faster then before. "Is this more agreeable?" She questioned, still struggling to maintain that she was calm. [04:31]

: Anakin sat on the couch in his pants, watching her rush off. He didn't bother to get up.. smiling softly to himself he knew she would return. He had faith in her. So, he closed his eyes and leaned his head against the back of the couch as he waited. He had no experience but, he knew what he wanted... and had been taught to assert himself.. to stay confident and to go for what he desired. Still, at the same time he could be calm and patient for this. She would return. --- When she spoke he turned his head, blue-brown eyes opening to take in her image. His smile came wide as he examined what she was wearing.. and hopefully.. what she would be out of soon. "You are so beautiful.." He whispered softly, waving her over to the couch. [04:37]

: She smiled when he complimented her and she very slowly but surely joined him on the couch. Padme' sat with her knees folded up beneath her and she sat facing him. "And your handsome...in a rugged looking way." She teased as she touched lightly at his golden brown locks. Her eyes flashed to his and she smiled a bit. She was still nervous about what was to come, however sitting there with him...So close to being naked she couldnt help but feel the butterflies with in her stomach dance and twirl around. [04:42]

: He chuckled softly, reaching a hand to stroke her cheek softly. "Rugged?" He flashed her his teeth again before leaning forward to kiss her softly. She was teasing him, that seemed certian.. but he didn't mind. It was letting him laugh... and it seemed to make her happy. And her happy is what he wanted. "Mmm... I love you." He said softly, kissing yet again as his hands went down to her knees. - His fingers slipped against the robe she was wearing, trying to find purchous as he stroked her gently. [04:47]

: Padme' smiled into the kiss, causing her to break it. Her smile faded and she became very serious. "I love you Anakin...I love you very much." Pressing her lips together she swallowed. And she loved him enough to be this close to him. She was willing to lay with him. To give herself to him. She was falling so hard, she was about to hit the ground. She loved him, yes yes she did...And it was an amazing feeling. And now here they were, and he was continually reminding her that he loved her. This made her heart soar. [04:51]

: Anakin loved to hear such words from her lips. It made him breath heavier as he leaned against her body, trying to get her to lay down once more. One hand slipped under the fringes of her robe, making it's way across her thigh and squeezing gently. It was hard to belive.. after he'd waited so long.. that he finnaly had her in his grasp... she accepted his heart... and was accepting his body. Maybe in time she'd learn to accept his mind once she was ready to forgive him for his actions. But for now, he'd take what he could get. "So much.." He purred, taking her lips once more. He grunted softly... his pants felt so tight on him now... even more so then before. [04:57]

: Padme' was nervous. This was obvious but she trusted him. So she laid back, allowing him to hover over her. In that second she had submitted herself to him and she had handed him the flame. He was the one that was going to have to lead her on. Show her and teach her, help to her understand and to feel out what was right. The robe remained closed, but the robe it's self was big and over flowing with extra fabric. It could easily cover his body as well. "Is this okay?" She questioned as she took a shaky breath. Her heart was still racing...could he feel it pounding as well? [05:02]

: "It's fine.." He whispered... running his hand across her inner thigh... feeling it's texture.. it's curve... it's warmth. He liked to be warm... and her warmth is something he had desired for so long. He released her lips, planting a kiss to her chin, then her throat. He lingered there for a momment, finding it odd he'd crushed the throats of two woman in the last few days, but found hers so tender. His tongue snaked out and he licked across the curve of it, taking in her scent. --- He pulled at the edges of her robe with his free hand, trying to pull it up above her knees... to feel her skin against his own. [05:07]

: She swallowed hard and pulled the robe back some, so that her bare thighs were exposed. In fact although she still had her bottoms on her stomach was bare. Her right arm was folded over her chest, and she held either sides of the robe tight in her fist. This way her chest remained covered. One step at a time...Take it easy she thought to herself. Just relax. When he had licked around her throat she had squirmed a bit, making a face. She threatened to burts out laughing but she held it in. Padme' would give in...she knew she would. This was just all so new to her...and unfortunately for Anakin...her pace was rather slow. [17:27]

: Well, maybe not so unfortunate. He was willing to take it slow... as he was willing to please her. He WANTED to please her. - Feeling her squirm, Anakin licking around the side of her neck slowly, taking in the taste of her flesh. So warm and wonderful... a treasure. It was such a new experience for him to be this close to anyone. He never even took arm candy to a show, unlike his master who might for the cameras.. but then.. he always had an enturage, which included Anakin. - Now, his fingers moved from her thigh and up to her bare stomach. They splayed their, taking in much of her texture all at once. Feeling the lines of her with his thumb dipping against her belly-button [17:34]

: The chills that had covered every inch of her were quickly fading. And she felt warm...hot even. She watched his hand move about her stomach. How odd, who could have known that they would be in this position? -Padme' licked her lips and looked over Anakin's body. Her eyes traveled down his neck to his sculpted and smooth chest. She had to touch, she wanted to touch. Sitting up more she placed both hands on his chest. She looked towards his eyes a moment. Padme' wanted to be sure that what she was doing was okay. -Then slowly but surely hands moved down his chest. Stopping at the waist band of his pants. "Are you..as nervous as I am?" She questioned finally. Looking up at him, she allowed her fingers to dance around the waist band of his pants. -She was aware of his excitement...She hadn't yet felt it...But she had stolen a quick glance. [17:37]

: He stopped carressing her neck with his tongue and sat up a little to smile at her. The actions of her hands hadn't come un-noticed by him. He'd even purred softly, as if he were a big cat who just needed to be petted. Flicking his tongue across his lips now he said, "A bit." He confessed. Mostly he was just happy, but he knew that part of him was scared too. He was finnaly with her... it was like a dream... a pleasent fantasy.. who couldn't be afraid it would either fade away or not live up to itself? - His right hand settled down over the one at his waist band, running over her fingers as if to urge her on as his left picked up a little.. trailng only his index finger around her belly. [17:43]

: Padme' side smiled when he answered her question. Maybe he really hadn't been with anyone. But...that in it's self was a bit intimidating. To think that he had really remained pure to be with her. She moved her fingers along the waist band of his pants again. But she really didn't know what to do next. What she should do next...Pressing her lips together, she sighed a bit. "Umm...Anakin...what...what now?" She pulled her hand back from his waist and she sat up completely to face him. -She then ran her hands over the tops of her shoulder's looking at him she smiled. And to smile made her feel just a little bit better. Padme' leaned in slowly her eyes flashing to Anakin's. Then she kissed him softly before pulling him closer and deepening the kiss. [17:47]

: Anakin dropped his hand from hers as she pulled back, but his smile never broke. Slow they would take this... learning eachother... he would let passion guide him with her.. instinct.. pleasures. "Mmm.. whatever you want.. Padme.." He whispered softly, his arms finding their way around her again. This time however, as they kissed, his mouth reciving hers with a soft sigh of pleasure, he tugged at her robes, trying to pull them off completely. - As he pulled, he fell back to the couch, drawing her over him as he kissed her hungerly. - Yes he was young and inexperenced in these matters.. yes, he had saved himself for her, but that didn't mean he didn't know what he wanted. Didn't know HOW he wanted. He did, he knew he wanted her.. her warmth.. to feel her body.. her skin.. against his. [17:54]

: When he fell back, bringing Padme' with him. She struggled a bit at first to not place all of her weight on him. She closed her eyes, allowing the kiss to claim her. And her body relaxed a bit. After she opened her eyes she realized that she was still keeping herself mainly covered. -Pressing down on Anakin's chest, she pushed herself back so that she was straddling his waist. -The swollen mound that brushed against her when she sat back, caused her to swallow nervously. Lust...Love...Sex...whatever it was, it would be happening soon. And she couldn't believe how beautiful his body was, how hard and toned he was. How had she resisted not touching him? She licked her lips once more before sliding the robe off of her shoulders. She blushed again, but the room was dark the only light provided was from the fire..."Did you think about this...before?" [17:57]

: A small hiss escaped his lips when his already tight pants had added weight applied to them... but.. it was not unwelcome. Not in the least. Managing to steady himself and half bite his tongue in the process, Anakin looked up at the beautiful and now uncovered Padme. His lips turned into a smile again as his hands moved towards her waist. "I always thought about you." He said softly, the index fingers of each hand teasing her sides gently as he let his eyes roam across the surface of her body... taking in the look of her skin... of what he wanted to touch... lick... carress. [18:02]

: Padme' closed her eyes a moment. And she braved her own fears. Taking his hands from her waist she moved them up and placed them upon her breasts. Looking down at him she opened her eyes. "I was thinking about you..." She breathed quietly. "Earlier before you returned." She pressed her lips together and looked down at him and smiled. "Mmm...I think...you're perfect...you have to be." She complimented with a lover's giggle and a hidden smile. [18:07]

: One hand slipped around to her back, working on the clasps of her undergarmet as the other rubbed her breast gently through the fabric of it. "You have thought of me?" He breathed. Was she just trying to make him feel warm or was she being serious? He wasn't sure even as he finished unclipping her and seeing the round orbs of flesh for himself. - He couldn't take his eyes off of them. So perfect she was in his mind... so beautiful... and so soft to the touch. His hands wasted no time becoming aquanted with those soft round orbs... tweaking her nipples a bit before tracing the curves. - "You are so perfect.." He replied to her own statement about how he was perfect. If they were both perfect to eachother.. it was clearly meant to be. [18:11]

: She gasped lightly when he touched her so intimately. "Oh..." Was all Padme' could say. She breathed deeply and swallowed. He was perfect to her. And in fact she had been thinking about him. Ever since the first kiss they had shared. Padme' had found herself to be curious. Thinking, wondering and imagining. It was the truth...She had experienced impure thoughts about this boy. This man, Anakin Skywalker. -Her brown eyes stared Anakin down, waiting for him to acknowlege her lust hungry look. [18:18]

: Finnaly managing to take his hands off of her bare breasts and smile up into her face he said, "You are.. so beautiful.. so kind... with such deap conviction. I know we probably dont' see eye to eye in terms of politics... but, your dedication makes me love you all the more." He felt like saying this to her, his hands moving down past her stomach again, to the straps of her underware. The last piece of clothing she wore. He though, still had both pants and his own undergarmets on... now feeling so tight around him as he gazed up at his perfect angel. [18:22]

: She laughed openly now, completely comfortable and oblivious to him working on removing her final salvation. "Ani...only you could dare to be so bold...to bring up politcs at a moment like this..." She finished with a smile. She placed her hands over his. "Why should you see me...if I haven't yet seen you?" It was obvious that she was feeling more comfortable. She had managed to laugh and to smile. While being completely topless...and aroused. She lowered herself to lay down across him. Her breath hot on his lips she smiled. "I want to see you..." A small smile appeared and she kissed the corner of his mouth softly. [18:31]

: Anakin smiled at her, wrapping his arms firmly about her body once more. "And you can.. whenever you want.." He whispered softly. He was passing her the ball... letting her choose when and how. He didn't to force her into anything she was uncomfortable with. It was hard to contain how much he wanted his pants off at that momment however. He knew he might not be able to stand the constriction much longer, but he would take it... because it was for her. That's what he told himself as he kissed her cheek again, moving to her lips. [18:35]

: A mischeivous grin crept onto her usually angelic face and she pulled away from him completely. Sitting back at the other end of the couch, she began to take her hair down. "Then show me..." She half demanded, but mostly requested. Her smile was still evident, and she was shocked at herself for being so devilish. Her body was hot and eager, as much as she loved the gentle touches and sweet kisses. Her body was growling and aching for more. [18:39]

: He sat up with her, chuckling softly and reaching for her hands. "Come here." he purred, trying to place her fingers at the sides of his pants. He fixed his eyes on hers before reaching over to her waist, holding his hands there. "Mmm... it's up to you... my lady..." He told her, not relenting... even her orders wouldn't change it. It was all up to her. And he would have the same fun... feeling his way across her hips and teasing the lip of her underwear. [18:44]

: Padme' smiled and found it extremely hard not to laugh. She bit her bottom lip to gain control of herself and she found her hands once more on his waist. "Anakin...this wont work...will this be a race?" She arched a curious eye brow, before taking a deep breath. She closed her eyes a moment before slowly lowering the fabric of his pants. Padme' paused a moment when the folded over fabric reached the swollen mound with in his pants. She exhaled slowly and then slid down the length of his body pulling his pants down with her. -She then reappeared with his pants in her hands. She smiled lightly, proud of herself...before throwing them to the floor. [18:49]

: "If you want it to be.." He said softly, hooking his fingers in her underwear and pulling it slowly down over her hips as she left him in nothing but his. He wasn't looking at his work however, only hers... his body shivering in delight as his legs became bare. This was like some of his fond dreams... of undressing one another... slowly... exploring... feeling one another out. Funny how she was older then him, and yet she seemed more nervous. She was a senator... he figured nothing would make her nervous. Then again, he thought Obi-Wan was afraid of nothing being a JEdi knight yet the older man always seemed terrified of politicians and tried to avoid them like the plague. [18:55]

: Padme' allowed him to removed her underwear, but in doing so her heart raced again. "Lets...well lets be careful when..." Her voice faded as she trailed off with nervousness. She used hand motions to attempt to express what she meant. Allowing him to look her over for a moment she made a hasty decision to remove Anakin's underwear as well. Pausing she licked her lips and closed her eyes as she slid his underwear down his lower body. Revealing his manhood, Padme' didn't bother to look. He would see her...she would tense up...she might back out. Instead her brown eyes locked with his, as her cheeks once more became bright pink. [19:00]

: They were naked, sitting next to one another for the first time, but their eyes were locked together. His were full of passion, of love as his left hand worked it's way up her tight and to her now exposed crotch.. fingers flicking tenderly towards her delicate folds, as his other moved to curl about her back once more. "As careful as possible." he agreed, his breath coming out in a sigh now that he was no longer being resitrcted by his underwear. He was fully arroused.. had been since she had returned in that robe. He didn't want her to get scared now... not that he was understanding what was making her so nervous. He was only worried about her being afraid really. [19:07]

: She moaned softly and found herself laying back so that he could touch her more easily. The pleasure she felt when his fingers touched at her was impossible to describe. -Padme' laid back completely and she found her free hands were busy touching at her own chest and Anakin's. She was completely turned on and heated. Being with him was all she could think of. She needed him closer, up against her, on her...in her. "Anakin..." She moaned his name. "Mmm I love you." She sighed happily, dazed and confused by the swirling sensations found in her lower body. [19:12]

: Anakin smiled, moving to lean over her as his hand moved over her crotch, letting the palm do the work as he began to rub her folds gently. He had never touched a woman before. He had seen them naked, so wasn't surprised by what he saw, but touch was another matter entirely. "Padme... I love you too.." He purred happily, his manhood rubbing against her left leg by the knee as he leaned over her. His right hand moved up from her back and to her chest, exploring her as she did him... his chest was so smooth.. and oddly devoid of hair. Of course, he was a rather feminin-looking and sounding young man so one probably shouldn't be surprised at it. Kinda odd given he was rather testosterone pumped but that only seemed to go into his agression rather then deapening his voice or growing hair all over his body. [19:17]

: She lifted her left leg and carefully wrapped it around his waist. Encouraging him to move closer, to be closer. She wanted him to cover and envelop her completely. "I know...I know." She sighed as she found herself becoming more excited by his touches. His chest was smooth and he was hairless. But Padme' found him to be beautiful. A beautiful boy...A beautiful young man. Yes, he may have possessed a feminin edge. But to Padme' all she saw was beauty. Earlier when she had told him that she felt he was handsome...ruggedly she had been teasing. And more then anything she wanted to admit that he looked angelic, innocent and beautiful, but she hadn't. She wasn't sure how he would take it. -Wrapping her right arm around his lower back she pressed her fingers into his soft and toned skin, still urging...anticipating... [19:23]

: Anakin moved closer at her urging, moving himself over her rather then sitting between her legs, his left hand moved, pulling up her right leg and slipping it around himself on the couch as well. His mouth came back to hers, kissing her hard, and deap as he let loose with soft noises just at the feel of her body so close to his. The thighs against his tight leg muscles and made him squirm ever so slightly even as his body came closer to hers. "Mmm.... Padme.." He breathed, his right hand moving up her back and into her soft curling hair. Everything about her... perfect... this momment.. perfect. Even with the anticipation, he did not want this momment to end. [19:27]

: Her body was shaking with anticipation, and she pulled him even closer for there passionate kiss. "Anakin...I love you..." She mumbled against his lips. "I want you..." She broke the kiss to look him in the eyes. She touched his face all over, feeling his strong jaw she smiled. Holding his face in her hands she looked him in the eyes. "I've fallen in love with you...I love you Anakin." Her eyes were locked with his and her body aching for an unknown release. She moved her body upward to meet with his. [19:31]

: After the kiss was broken Anakin peered down into her eyes, smiling still. "I love you... I want you... and I've been in love with you for so long.." He told her. He couldn't help but smile... her fingers running along the line of his jaw.. they almost tickled... - Feeling her draw him in closer he let out a soft hiss of pleasure feeling his arrousal brush against her delicate folds. Soft.. warm... and apperently wanting him too. And he could see that in her eyes. The want... the need... that was echoed in his own. Did she need his body as much as he did hers in this momment? [19:34]

: Her index finger moved to touch and tap lightly at his bottom lip. She admired his lip a moment before kissing it quickly and softly. Padme' then looked him in the eyes, "Then take me Anakin...make me your own..." She whispered softly. -She laid back completely, opening herself up to him. She waited...Padme' was ready for this moment. Her racing heart had steadied to a normal beat and her eyes held a mixture of lust and love. Either way she wanted Anakin, very badly... [19:39]

: "As you wish, my lady.." He purred softly, his mouth moving to try and nip at her finger before his lips met hers again. That was what he'd been waiting for. He was so close.. but there was always the chance she'd change her mind at the last momment. He didn't want that, but it was something he was prepaired to accept. Now though, he didn't need that... didn't need to worry any more. She was giving herself to him, as he was to her. - He wasted no time, dispite being unskilled. He knew what he wanted, and let his pleasures and instincts guide him.. past her folds of silky flesh... slowly easing himself into her. [19:42]

: Her body tensed up at the slow but none the less sudden intrusion. Her breath caught in her throat and for a moment she couldn't swallow. It would be worth it, she told herself. It could be worse. She clutched at his back, holding on to him, clinging...needing some support. "...easy." She pleaded in a near pant. Padme' was in a bit of pain...only physical and it wasn't torture by any means. Just pressure an intense pressure. She took a few deep breaths and then waited for her body to accept him completely. [19:47]

: And he felt it too... the squeezing around him... the oppisit kind of pressure she felt. It nearly took his breath away. He gasped suddenly, pulling his arms around her for his own kind of support. As he continued to ease in he drew in several ragged breaths, his face pressed so close to hers that he barely heard her own words. - His eyes closed and he forced himself forward... past the points of small resistance.. towards the heart of her as it were. He couldn't think, could hardly breath, could only take in the sensations of it. The heat, the squeezing, the intense pleasure he felt shoot through the lower half of his body. [19:51]

: She gasped a bit and squeezed her eyes shut tight as she gripped onto him more. " ..anakin please..." She whispered in a soft plea. Just a moment, she just needed a moment to relax. The pressure was intense, and although she was hot and completely heated with excitement. The physical sensation was not yet a good one. And she wondered how much longer it would be, until she could accept him. She hoped she wouldn't be a disapointment. The feel of him inside of her was right and filling. She felt complete and whole....But there was still that tingling that nagging uncomfortable pain that wanted her to push him away and say...not now. [19:54]

: Anakin was breathing heavily already, but he managed to hear her words this time. Feeling his body want to shake he placed his hands firmly on the couch benieth them, lifting his face up a little. His eyes flicked open, studying her expression. He had heard... that it might be a little.. uncomfortable.. the first time perhaps... but had pushed thoughts of that away. Managing to swallow he asked softly, "Are.. you.. alright?" He had no wish to hurt her, but he wasn't sure how long he could hold this position before his body started to move on it's own. [19:58]

: She ran her hands up and his arms and and his back. She needed to be doing something to take away and distract the jumble of nerves that were about to send her over the edge. "...no...no I am...I'm alright..I just..." She swallowed and took a deep breath. Padme' closed her eyes and touched her own forhead. "..just be careful...okay?" She looked him in the eyes, pleading. She didn't want pain...no one ever did, she just wanted to feel his love. And her body begged for a moment of mercy. "Please..." She finished with a sigh, as she moved her lower half against him. Moving her hips just caused more friction between the two, when really...she was just trying to get comfortable. [20:02]

: He let out a soft noise of pleasure, feeling her move. His face came back down against hers and he kissed her deaply. He hungered for her mouth in that momment, just as he hungered for the rest of her body. He began to move again, pulling back slightly to push further into her again. The heat, the friction, it just edged him on. He kissed her, being more passionate now as he moved... barely thinking about her words any more. Perhaps by instinct he felt that if he just kept moving, she would feel better a lot faster then if he tried to stop complely. [20:03]

: She took another deep breath and nearly whimpered as he continued to move within her. -Padme' closed her eyes and swallowed hard, doing her best to bare with the pain. If she could just hold on alittle longer. Just focus on loving him. He did something suddenly moved forward a good bit and her eyes opened with shock. That something had made her feel good...even if it was for a split second. Another gasp and she was breathing hard, encouraging him and loving him. [00:29]

: Anakin was definatly spurred on by just that momment. He drew back again, pressing forward even deaper into her. He could feel her.. not simply on the physical level, but could feel her emotional responce. He knew he'd done something she liked... and aimed to do it again. But it wasn't a conscious descion, it was more like he was reacting to each thing that came into his brain, processed it, and went along with the action. He had wanted to please her... wanted to give her pleasure. - "I love you Padme.." He managed between gasps of air. Swet was already forming on his perfect skin... rolling and dropping onto hers as his chest brushed back and forth against her breasts. [00:36]

: She stretched her body out beneath him. Gasping and purring at each thrust that she was subjected to. Padme' grabbed at his face and kissed him deeply, making it long sensual and wet. "and I..." She moaned loudly, he had done it again. "And I you...I love you..." She was breathing hard, panting and sweating as well. Her body was hot and slick beneath his own. And she grabbed and clawed lightly at his back. The pain was long forgotten...Possibly until later on. But for now how she could feel was pleasure. [00:43]

: His hip movements settled into a nearly mechanical rythem as he moaned and gasped from the pleasure of it. His lips went to hers once more, biting and nibbling from his excitment. Yes, this was quiet wonderful.. it didn't fill him with the sadistic pleasure and sadness that killing gave him. It was pure, without regret or heart-break. He wanted this momment to last and last, to just meld into one being with her wrapped in it's own pleasure. That was what he desired in that momment. To simply be here, with her.. and her love.. her warmth.. her everything. [00:59]

: Padme' gritted her teeth as she was starting to feel amazing. She wanted the moment to last, and for the feeling to never leave her. She was beyond aroused. She pulled him closer by locking her ankles together around his waist. "Anakin..." She moaned rather loudly. She arched her back as best as she could, and she wanted more. "Dont stop...dont stop!" She praised and encouraged him with moans and groans of pleasure. Her body was hot beneath him and each forward movement caused her to gasp and struggle for breath. [01:03]

: Through his heavy breathing he managed a slight grin. "As you wish." He murmered, picking up speed as he drove into her. Of course, the not stopping part might be a little tricky. This was his first time after all... and this was quiet stimulating for him. He probably couldn't hold out much longer dispite his normal battle stamina. He just kept kissing her.. wanting it to last... wanting more... but he was straining... he could feel it in him... he was reaching his peek. [01:13]

: The friction was amazing. The feeling, the movements. Grabbing at his shoulder blades she clawed lightly at his skin. "Yes..." Her breathing was becoming labored, and she hissed and moaned. He felt amazing moving against her. She unlocked her ankles and let one leg drop to the floor and hang free of the couch. "Anakin...your...yes..." -Her chest was heaving and she was hot to the touch. A sensation was building deep with in her, and she was fast approaching the edge. Moaning loudly she called out his name again, before closing her eyes and biting her bottom lip. Her body shook suddenly and she didnt know if she was in pain or pleasure. She gasped again and the euphoric high claimed her. She succombed to her climax and allowed her body to shake horribly. As she steadily repeated her lovers name. "Anakin...oh Anakin..." [01:19]

: It wouldn't have taken anything more anyway to bring him to climax but her body shaking and squeezing around him did it anyway. He let out an explosive cry, that seemed to be partly her name, and partly something in Huttsie. His fingers sunk hard into the couch cushion benieth them as his chest heaved from the excitment. His brain was filled with pleasure... and for a momment.. that's all there was... the two of them.. locked together as if they were one being. Sharing the same wave of pleasure together. - when it was finished, he collapsed against her chest.. murmering her name as he kissed her cheek on reflex. [01:33]

: For a moment Padme' saw stars. Lots of them...hundreds...thousands...-She laid back completely and looked towards the ceiling, gasping for air she licked at her lips. "Anakin...that...was...wow..." She closed her eyes again and smiled before giggling softly. She hugged him tight, and held him as she showered his forhead and face with kisses. It was the best experience she had ever been privledged to having. Love with him was amazing! Her chest was still heaving up and down. And it was even harder to catch her breath with him laying on top of her. But it was barable...She could handle it. "I love you Ani.." She whispered just near his ear. "I love you." [01:37]

: Anakin's smile was broad across his features. He had never regretted waiting.. and never would. This act for the first time, with her, had been the most perfect thing in the universe for him. It made him forget all else.. the Sith.. the Jedi.. the murders... the fact there was an assassin out for padme.. even the chancellor's plans to build an empire. It all dropped away for her. "So.. perfect.." He had a tear at the corner of his eye before opening them to look at her, "So wonderful... so.. amazing..." Kissing her softly, still laying against her he added, "I love you.. so much." [01:40]

: Padme' licked her lips and brushed his sweat soaked hair away from his face. "Was it really okay?" She questioned timidly, as her brown eyes sparkled with something along the lines of worry. She didn't want to be a disapointment after all. And he could be saying those things just to be nice. She hoped he wasn't just being nice. Padme' laid back more to get comfortable and she brought her arms underneath of Anakin. The warmth his body placed over her own was wonderful. All she wanted to do now was cuddle. "Will you sleep with me...then?" Another question before he could answer the first. "I dont want to be without you." [01:49]

: "It was... more.. then ok." He managed, his breathing finnaly returnring to normal. Anakin locked eyes with her for a momment, sparkling with the truth. When she asked him to share her bed his smile widdened. It was more then he could have hoped for earlier in the day. "I would want nothing more." He breathed. He didn't want to be parted from her... not on their first night together. He wanted to lay at her sides, wrap her in his arms, and sleep with her. Perhaps she would chase bad dreams away. [01:54]

: Padme' smiled and sighed, she pushed him back gentley hoping he would take the hint and sit back. She reached for her robe and peeled herself away from him. Slowly getting up she found herself to be a bit shaky on her legs. "I'm glad." She turned to face him, once she was covered. And a glow adorned her. Her innocense was gone...given away to one man and one man only. She was his forever, and she liked that. Padme's smile never faultered and even now she allowed her eyes to roam over his naked form. The one thing she had been too shy to do...Now she looked on in awe. He really was beautiful. [02:00]

: He was sitting on the couch now, his arms at his sides, just admiring her. She was so beautiful.. even more so covered in glistening swet and the afterglow of lovemaking. She was his angel... and he was her protector. He would never harm her... could never. He was hers... and he would have to trust her. "I love you." He said, not getting tired of saying it. - Standing, he didn't bother with his clothing. He reached a hand out to her. "Lead the way, my angel." [02:02]

: Padme' smiled and took his hand, pulling him closer she was able to easily wrap her robe around him as well. She cuddled with him a moment under the blanket before turning and leaving him. -She took the robe with her and bolted down the hall, laughing and smiling. She bound into her bedroom, prepared to close the door on him. Padme' was ready to be playful once again.
