Chapter 3

*You are in Private Galactic Holonet chat room 42924870*

Who’s Here?

EmpsHand (Mary)

JediLady (Corrie)

Sending datafile whisperyourweaknesschp2.dwf to JediLady. Waiting for confirmation.

Transfer Accepted

Transferring datafile whisperyourweaknesschp2.dwf.

Mara let the file send as she looked over at the sleeping Jedi Master. Force, he was beautiful. How could she tell herself all those years that she wasn’t in love with the man?

Transfer complete.

JediLeia: Got it.

Luke made a groaning noise and started to shift. Through the Force she could feel him about to break consciousness.

EmpsHand: Thanks! He’s waking up! TTYL!

Exiting Galactic HoloNet.

Mara slammed her computer shut and quickly tossed it onto her nightstand. She moved next to her lover and was greeted by two brilliant blue eyes.

“Hey there, sleepyhead,” she smiled, running her hand through his shaggy bangs.

He yawned, “What time is it?”

“Only late afternoon,” she moaned as he reached up and ran a hand through her hair down to the curve of her neck. He fiddled with the collar of the shirt she had thrown on while accessing her computer. For some reason, she felt awkward talking to people while naked, even if they couldn’t see her.

“I’m sorry,” he said quietly.

“For what?” her eyes widen, scared that maybe he had regretted what they had just done.

“I was sleeping when I could have been doing this…” he pulled her down on top of him and captured her lips with his. His hands slid down her sides to where her shirt stopped and his fingers danced across her hips and thighs teasingly.

Mara crushed herself against him, wanting to feel every inch of his body against hers. “I’m sure that… mmm… you can come up with… oh… some restitution…”

“I’m sure I could,” he said into the hollow of her neck that he gently suckled on.

“Luke…” Mara groaned as he pushed her onto her back. She needed to talk to him but this was much more enjoyable.

“This needs to go.” Luke pulled at her shirt and easily slipped it off. Instantly his hands went to her hardened nipples and he began to knead her breasts as his tongue assaulted her lips and neck again.

Mara groaned and danced her fingers against his warm skin, encouraging his body to fall upon her own. She needed that feeling of closeness that his warmth offered, both physically and emotionally. “We should have done this years ago.”

“Why didn’t we?” he asked as he moved down her body with his hands and tongue.

“Good question,” Mara moaned as Luke dipped his tongue into her belly button then gave her rear a little pinch. “Luke!”

He grinned at her then disappeared lower down, running kisses and caresses up her inner thighs. Mara jerked when he ran his fingers across her curls. “I bet you taste like sweet honey…”

“Why don’t you find out?” Mara said breathlessly as he placed both hands on her thighs and gently opened her up to him.

Mara’s mind couldn’t help but float back to similar scenes she had either read or wrote about Luke and Mara being so intimate with each other. Some had him shy and gentle, why others portrayed a more dominant side as befitted a man of power.

But now Mara knew the truth. Despite being the calm, serine and powerful Jedi Master, Luke Skywalker was all man in the bedroom. He loved a woman like a pilot loved his ship, gently caring while pushing the limits.

All thoughts of fiction flew away as Mara arched her back at the touch of Luke’s rough but gentle fingers against her folds. Slowly he teased her open, coaxing wetness from her core. She began to mumble words such as ‘please’ and ‘yes’ incoherently until his lips latched onto the tiny nub that was the center of her desire.

She suddenly remembered a conversation where one staunch woman said Luke would never be so coarse as to do such a thing to a woman. Mara laughed hotly and moaned again in tremendous pleasure. Not only would he, but he was damn good at it. He seemed to know every sensitive nerve and sought each one out.

“Oh, gods, please, Luke… take me! Take me!” she begged and groaned as her body writhed against him. He had promised to make her explode and she just might if he didn’t finish her off soon.

Mara didn’t even realize that Luke had detached from her womanhood when she felt him lower his body against her and his hardness slide in, pushing against her tightness. She screamed out his name once again as their bodies pounded together in a sexual rhythm that threw them over the edge once more.

Luke trembled above her as he emptied himself, complete loss of control evident in his hazy eyes. Force he was beautiful no matter what state he was in! He collapsed against her, slowly sliding off to the side, his arms around her waist holding her to him.

“I love you,” he whispered against her ear through ragged breaths.

“I love you too,” Mara whispered back, and received a Force flood of pure happiness that flowed out of Luke at her words. They held each other for another long moment, not daring to go to sleep and lose the moment.

A beeping noise filtered through the blissful silence.

“I think that’s your comlink, Luke,” Mara mumbled against his neck while he nuzzled her hair.

“Your point is?” he found the bottom of her ear and nibbled.

Mara moaned, but had to remain steadfast. If she didn’t break the spell they were under then they would stay in that bed for the next month and the real issues would never be faced. “That it might be important. You are the Jedi Master.”

He sighed and slowly started to pull away. “Unless it’s a Sith lord causing problems, or the Galaxy has gone all to Kessel, I’m coming right back and I don’t want you to move a muscle.”

“I won’t,” she smiled at him, never feeling so free and happy in all her life.

“Good,” he gave a wink he must have stole from Solo and headed out of the bedroom clad in only what nature gave him. Mara admired his well-formed butt cheeks as he disappeared from view.

***

With a spring in his step, Luke bounded over to where he had earlier shed his clothing. He had to grin as he searched for the offending comlink. Being with Mara was like a breath of fresh air to his suffocating life.

“Skywalker,” he said evenly though his face was marked in a permanent grin.

“It’s about time you answered!” came a familiar voice in a playful tone.

“Hey, Wedge,” Luke said with relief, hopefully this meant he could get back to Mara soon. “What’s up?”

“Finally got that new flight simulator I’ve been telling you about.”

“About time,” Luke laughed. Wedge had been telling him about the bureaucratic red-tape that Wedge was having to cut through for funding over the past three months.

“Yep, wanna come over and try it out?”

Luke looked towards the bedroom where he knew Mara was laying, naked, and getting very lonely without him. Any other day he would have jumped at such an invitation, instead, something more important had entered his life. “Love to, but not at the moment. Maybe tomorrow or the day after?”

“You feeling all right?”

“I’m feeling better then I have in a long time,” which was as truthful as he could say it. Mara completed him, and with her declarations of love he felt himself grow more whole. “I can’t get away from what I’m doing.”

“Oh, okay,” Wedge said with slight non-understanding but acceptance. “Not a problem.”

“Thanks. I’ll call you tomorrow.”

“Sure thing.”

Luke clicked off the comlink and sat it down on Mara’s caf table. Feeling guilty about letting his lightsaber fall to the floor in his mad dash to get undressed he picked it up and inspected it for dents or scratches. Finding it undamaged he laid it on the caf table as well.

He was a Jedi Master, he should be able to have more control over his body and such emotions, but then that wouldn’t be any fun.

Grinning he made his way back to the bedroom and found Mara sitting up in bed, a blanket barely covering the bosom he desperately wanted to play with again. “You moved.”

“Yes, well, you’ll live,” she sniped back but there was nothing but playfulness in her tone.

“Bad girl!” Luke growled out as he headed back towards the bed.

Mara raised one red eyebrow. “Why, Master Skywalker, I didn’t know you had it in you.”

“Honestly,” Luke bounded onto the bed causing the repulsor springs to whine in abuse, “I didn’t think I did either till a certain redhead came into my life.”

“Yeah, about that…” her words trailed off as he pulled the blanket away to reveal her glorious form. He didn’t think he could ever get enough of her, a thought that scared him but at the same time thrilled him.

“What about it,” he said detachedly, not really paying attention as he was drawn to one pert nipple that begged to be suckled.

“Okay, okay,” Mara grabbed his wrists and held them tight, “as much as I want this to continue, we need to talk Farmboy.”

Luke blinked as he realized that Mara was being serious. Something was on her mind and it had to do with them and the sudden turn their relationship had taken. Relationship! Force, she had time to stop and think about it and now she’s going to run away from him… or worse…

“Snap out of it, Luke,” Mara waved her hands in front of his face to get his attention. “Whatever you are thinking, stop until you’ve heard what I have to say.”

“Mara—”

“No!” she held up one finger and glared at him. “No thinking! Just listen!”

“No thinking. Just listen,” he repeated, mesmerized by the seriousness in her green eyes.

“Okay,” Mara took in a deep breath, “I guess the short of it is this: I want this to work.”

Luke’s jaw dropped and he prayed to the Force he understood her correctly. “This, as in us?”

“Yes,” she smiled, “us. I want to have a normal relationship with you.”

“Really?” he squeaked, his body aching from the strain to keep himself from pouncing on her yet again.

“I wasn’t joking when I said that I love you,” she blushed. “I do.”

“I know you do,” he finally reached out and grabbed her, pulling her into a tight embrace. “I love you too.”

“I know,” she whispered as she held him close. “One more thing, though…”

Luke was worried at her next words. Would she want their relationship to be kept secret? Would she make it clear that she didn’t want a family or those kinds of entanglements?

“Luke! Stop thinking for a second!”

“Sorry!”

Mara laughed amusingly and shook her head. “What am I going to do with you?”

“I could think of a lot of things but right now you just wanted to talk,” Luke said suggestively to lighten the mood, his earlier fears starting to ebb away.

“Later,” she growled seductively, but then tried to return to a state of composure. “Luke, answer truthfully, did you mean it when you said you wanted to love me forever?”

Luke swallowed hard, he didn’t want to lose her, but he had to be truthful. “Yes.”

“Forever is a long time,” she said quietly.

“Not long enough,” he whispered.

“You want a family Luke, a wife, kids.”

“Yes, but—”

“Sshhh,” she put a finger to his lips. “Just listen.”

He nodded and took a deep breath, steadying his heart for what was to come.

“I think that… that I would like to be that wife,” she said quietly and Luke thought his heart would burst, “…and maybe have those kids.”

Luke felt on the verge of tears he was so happy. He wanted to scream his love for Mara from the Imperial Palace rooftop for all of Coruscant to hear!

“But…”

His heart caught in his throat, Luke listened to what else she had to say.

“…not right now. Maybe in a year or two. First I… I want to see how this goes between us. Make sure this will work on all levels,” she smiled away a blush. “I just wanted you to know that I wasn’t closed off to the idea.”

Luke composed his racing emotions long enough to get things straight between them, “I’d never push you into anything, Mara. I’m ready to take all the steps but I’ll wait till you’re ready to take them with me.”

“I know you will,” she reached up and caressed his face. “I’ll try not to keep you waiting too long. No guarantees though.”

“I won’t ask for any,” he took her hand and pressed his lips to her palm.

She moaned but managed to utter the words, “I am ready for the first step.”

Luke glanced around the tossed bed sheets slightly confused.

“Not that step, nerf!” she laughed. “I’m talking about dating.”

“Dating?” Luke blinked. “As in taking in a holovid followed by dinner and dancing kind of dating?”

“Well, I never was much for holovids, but yeah, dinner and dancing sounds nice,” she smiled brightly and Luke was so happy that this had to be a dream, or one of them were going to drop dead any second now. There was no way things could be this good between them.

“Are you sure? I mean, we’ll have to let Leia and Han and everyone know first before the hologossipers gets a hold of this.”

Mara took a deep breath, “I won’t say I’m not nervous at the idea, but yes, I’m sure.”

Luke stared at her, jaw agape. Yes, there was no way considering his luck with women that he was getting Mara with so little complication, no secrecy. The hammer was sure to drop any minute now. Force! Maybe she wasn’t protected and thought she might have gotten pregnant. He should have thought to ask!

The beautiful woman that captured his heart long ago laughed. “Luke, do you really think I’d let you risk me that way?”

Relief poured over him, he knew better than to not trust Mara when it came to danger and risks. “Sorry, I just shouldn’t have lost control earlier.”

“Truth be told,” she blushed, “I’m glad I take the hyprospray regularly for medical purposes or else I might not have been able to stop myself, let alone you.”

“I’d like to say that I could stop if you said stop, but don’t miss any appointments for the spray, I don’t want to test that theory.”

“Me either,” she cuddled up against him. “I’m not ready to be a mother… yet.”

Luke really couldn’t believe how lucky he was. He had pined over Mara for years, unconsciously saving those first few holos of her from various news reports, giving himself flimsy excuses why. Then he found himself staring at them, having wild thoughts of him and her in various positions. At first he thought it was just a healthy dose of male lust brought on from the fact that he’d been alone for so long.

As he made love to Mara he realized that it was more then that. He lusted after her because he needed her. She completed him in so many ways and his desire was simply a way of his body telling him what his head tried to ignore. Mara was his other half and they needed to be joined. Now he had her heart, her body, and one day her hand in marriage.

“This is real Luke,” she said into his neck. “No tricks, no twists, just you and me and what we both want.”

“I almost don’t believe it,” he laughed sardonically then bit his lip, thinking he finally did it and ruined everything.

Mara looked at him thoughtfully, “No, I suppose with everything that has happened between us and our past relationships you wouldn’t.”

“I ah,” Luke took cautious steps, “I do wonder what’s come over you.”

She tilted her head slightly, “Come over me?”

“Well, you’re usually not so open with me, Mara,” he explained as he ran a hand through her hair. “I always knew you were capable of giving so much love, if you just opened yourself. I just thought I wouldn’t be able to open you up without a fight.”

Mara giggled and he blushed as he realized his words could have a double meaning. “You know what I mean, Jade.”

“I know,” she kissed the tip of his chin, “and you’re right. I don’t know if I can be this open with anyone else. When I walk out that door, I’ll still be the Mara everyone knows.”

“But I’ll know better,” he whispered as he leaned down and kissed her deeply.

“Good,” she mumbled against his lips, her hands sliding slowly down his back.

As much as Luke wanted to continue this, a thought came to his mind, “Mara, you don’t want this to be a secret right. You and us.”

Her eyes fluttered as he pulled back slightly and her brow fell confused, “Yes…”

“Me and Leia’s birthday party is coming up in exactly twelve days. I’d like to announce our relationship then to my family and our friends. After that we can start going out and let the hologossipers figure it out from there.”

She chewed on her lip for a moment. “Twelve days… gives us time to back out I suppose, if we wake up tomorrow and realize it was a mistake.”

“It’s not a mistake,” he held her tight. “It’s just you know Leia would kill me if we didn’t tell her first, and this is a perfect opportunity to let everyone know and not leave anyone out.”

Her lips parted into a mischievous grin, “I thought I told you to stop thinking.”

“Do I ever listen?”

“Not usually,” Mara laughed then nodded. “Then it’s settled. I’ll probably need the time to settle my nerves anyway.”

“It’s not like we’re going into battle, Jade.”

“For you maybe, these are your family and where all your friends first.”

“Don’t,” he kissed the tip of nose, “worry,” then the corner of her lip, “about,” down to her neck, “it.”

“Why,” she mumbled incoherently.

“Because they’ll be happy for us,” Luke gently took a hold of her waist and laid her down, “I know they will.”

“I hope you’re right…”

***

Five days later Mara sat at her desk with her computer, tapping away at some work Karrde had given her. Luke was able to get Karrde an invite to the party so he could be there when the announcement was given, though Mara wouldn’t put it past the information broker to not already know.

Two strong but gentle hands came to rest on her shoulders and a voice spoke seductively into her ear, “You should have joined me in the shower.”

Mara grinned, “Is this libido of yours ever going to cool?”

“Probably,” he groaned but then turned jovial, “right now I’m just making up for lost time.”

Luke bent down and captured her lips with his. They had taken turns staying over at the other’s apartment since they started down the path of boyfriend and girlfriend, and last night they had stayed at hers. So far no one seemed to notice this, but then they had been very careful to avoid suspicion. Once they announced their relationship, their playing the part of ‘sneaky teenagers’ would end. Oh well, it would be fun while it lasted, and only fun knowing that it wouldn’t last.

“So am I,” Mara said after she managed to pull away from him. “Karrde will kill me if I don’t get this stuff finished. Seems like I’ve been a little preoccupied.”

Luke laughed and gave her a small hug, “Well, you get that done and I’ll see you tonight for dinner. I got to go by and see Wedge again, and I believe I decided which of the two gifts I’ll get Leia.”

“Oh? Which one?”

“Both.”

“Taking the easy way out is of the Dark Side, Luke,” Mara admonished but laughed silly.

“Later, sweetheart,” Luke grinned and disappeared down the entryway. He might leave the building, but with the new bond that was quickly growing between them, he would always be with her.

Sighing contently she got back to work, but quickly grew tired after a few hours. She needed a break and wondered if Lora had posted the latest chapter of her fic yet. Lora had promised good smut in this next post since the last few had been character and plot building. Don’t get her wrong, Mara liked character and plot building, but right now she could use some good old fashion stimulation to get her blood pumping and keep her from falling asleep.

*You are in Galactic Holonet chat room 87632927850*

Who’s Here?

EmpsHand (Mary)

JediLady (Corrie)

EmpsHand: Hey Corrie, Lora around?

JediLady: Sorry, just missed her. Said she’s be back on in an hour or so.

EmpsHand: That’s annoying. I was hoping she had an update for Heart of the Jedi.

JediLady: She said something about updating when she got back. I’m not reading HotJ so I didn’t bug her for an update.

EmpsHand: No problem. Though I still don’t really understand why you can’t see Luke having sex. He’s a man just like any other under those robes. Jedi have needs and wants as well.

JediLady: I don’t doubt that.

JediLady: *sighs* Truth be told, he kind of reminds me of this guy I knew a few years back.

EmpsHand: End badly?

JediLady: You could say that.

EmpsHand: I get the holo. Well, it’s your loss.

JediLady: I’m sure I’ll manage. Kiera has another chapter of Corellian Interludes coming out in the next few days. *fans self at thought*

EmpsHand: LOL! Well, I guess I can’t say anything about you not liking Luke fics, I never could get into H/L fics.

JediLady: Why is that?

EmpsHand: I dunno, Han and Leia kinda remind me of what my parents might have been had I not been orphaned.

JediLady: In other words… you can’t see them having sex any more then I can see Luke having sex.

EmpsHand: Can’t get anything past you. *grin*

JediLady: To each their own, I say.

EmpsHand: Yeah. By the way, thanks again for looking over my fic for me. If you want, Terra said she would beta for me now that her studies are finished for the semester.

JediLady: I don’t mind too much, you’re a good writer, you just lack self-esteem.

EmpsHand: You’re just saying that, but thanks.

JediLady: I’m not just saying it!

JediLady: But if it makes you happy, Terra can do the smut chapters and I can do the rest.

EmpsHand: Sounds good to me.

JediLady: I’m still interested in that story idea you ran past me the other day.

EmpsHand: Which one?

JediLady: I believe you have Mara arrested for a Palpatine-ordered assassination that she actually didn’t do, but is so overrun by the years of piling guilt that she lets them prosecute her anyway, only another assassination attempt throws everything into chaos and Luke, Leia and Han have to save the day and solve the mystery.

EmpsHand: Oh yeah, that one! I was using the story as a means to do back flashes into Mara’s life since little is publicly known about her before the whole Thrawn thing.

JediLady: Yeah, you said you created a character, Daren?, that was Mara’s first boyfriend/lover/something-like-that who showed her how to care, and love, but his death is what turned her so cold.

EmpsHand: Darius.

JediLady: That was it.

JediLady: Anyway, you had a great characterization of Mara. It makes sense that the reason she’s so cold and distant to everyone is because the two most important relationships in her life, Palpatine (master/father figure) and Darius (first man she ever loved) both ended so tragically that she buried everything and won’t let anyone get close for fear of being controlled or hurt again.

EmpsHands: That’s about the gist, yeah.

JediLady: I think it’s brilliant story telling. Where you come up with this stuff I have no idea.

EmpsHand: Thanks.

EmpsHand: I don’t know how to end it though.

JediLady: Oh?

EmpsHand: I want to bring Mara and Luke together, but as you say, she’s been hurt before. Will she risk it?

JediLady: Good question. Do you want a more AU Mara or more RL Mara?

EmpsHand: Real life.

JediLady: hhhmmmmmm

JediLady: Well, she’ll have Luke there. If Luke opens up as well and accepts her love, then I don’t see why Mara wouldn’t take that chance.

EmpsHand: Why?

JediLady: Because Luke’s been hurt before as well, yet he’s obviously risking another scar by loving Mara. If that doesn’t give her enough faith, then I don’t know what will.

JediLady: You still there?

EmpsHand: Sorry, just thinking.

EmpsHand: You’re right though. With Luke beside her Mara could face anything.

JediLady: Luke just seems to have that way about him.

EmpsHand: Yeah…

DarthLora has entered the room.

DarthLora: Okay, so I’m back earlier than I thought.

EmpsHand: Just the woman I was looking for!

JediLady: Good to see you! But I’m going to have to go in a minute. I logged on at work and if I get caught, well, I don’t want to have to explain this to the higher-ups.

DarthLora: Looking for me? Should I be scared? *wink*

DarthLora: LOL! Not a problem Corrie.

EmpsHand: That’s what I love about being my own boss… sorta.

DarthLora: Hey, Mary, I heard that you and Deak finally hooked up.

EmpsHand: Who told you?

DarthLora: Ah, she did it. *points at Corrie then hides*

JediLady: Thanks for the backup, Lora. *rolls eyes*

DarthLora: heheheh

EmpsHand: Well, it’s true.

DarthLora: Yay! *hugs*

EmpsHand: Thanks!

DarthLora: How did you two finally see the light?

JediLady: No sordid details, please.

DarthLora: Oh come on, the sordid details is what makes it fun!

EmpsHand: LOL! You are incorrigible!

DarthLora: Well, we all have to have a hobby.

JediLady: LOL!

EmpsHand: hehehehe… Honestly, it just kinda happened.

EmpsHand: He discovered some holos that I had of him on my computer and asked me about it. We argued and he admitted having holos of me. Once we realized we were both attracted to each other but had thought the other person didn’t think of them in that way, one thing led to another.

DarthLora: About kriffing time! I thought I was going to have to find you two and lock you in a closet!

JediLady: I don’t put it past you, Lora.

EmpsHand: Closet huh? That gives me an idea… *is thinking*

JediLady: TMI!!

DarthLora: mmuuuwwwaaahahahahahahah….

EmpsHand: hehehehehe

EmpsHand: But don’t get me wrong, this is more than about the sex.

DarthLora: Oh?

EmpsHand: I took your advice, Corrie. I was completely honest with him and I thought he was going to cry on me he was so happy.

JediLady: That’s wonderful!

DarthLora: Okay, fill me in here.

EmpsHand: Corrie suggested that I be completely honest with Deak and tell him how I felt.

DarthLora: How do you feel?

EmpsHand: I love him, with all my heart. But I’m not sure I can take the steps towards family right now. I just have too much going on in my life and I haven’t had many successful relationships before to really know what I’m doing. We have started dating and are taking it slow. If things work out, well, there might be wedding holos in the future.

DarthLora: Yay! *jiggles uncontrollably*

JediLady: See! I told you it would work out if you were just honest with him, and yourself.

DarthLora: um, giggles… damn typos

JediLady: LOL!

EmpsHand: I haven’t promised him marriage and kids, but I let him know that I wasn’t closed off to the idea. I want to make sure that everything works between us before we take those steps.

JediLady: He shouldn’t expect anything more than that at this stage.

DarthLora: Yeah, you want to wait on the kids. Once you do, there goes your sex life.

JediLady: Don’t scare the poor woman!

EmpsHand: LOL!

JediLady: I gotta go. Work calling.

DarthLora: Why do you think I got into fan fic in the first place??

EmpsHand: Later, Corrie.

DarthLora: Have fun! If you can!

JediLady: Thanks! TTYL.

JediLady has left the room.

EmpsHand: Now, Lora, about HotJ… *winks*
