Summary: Something I wrote for closure on the Jedi in the Underground

Series. Pointless romantic smut.

The twin suns of Tatooine blazed orange as they began to sink from the

evening sky, illuminating the blinding white sand of the Judland wastes

for the last time that day. I closed my eyes briefly and cherished the

warmth on my skin as I paused to witness the amazing sunset, a habit I

had picked up the last time I was on Tatooine. A gentle breeze danced

across my skin, ruffling my hair and the skirt of the simple tan shift

I was wearing. Though I didn't much care for humid heat, I loved the

desert environment and faired quite well in the dry warmth, probably

because growing up my family visited relatives in Arizona as often as

we could manage. Luke and I had decided it was high time for us to

spend some time alone, and it seemed the only way to make that happen

was to get away from the labyrinth, preferably far away. Since Tatooine

was the planet that was farthest from the bright spot in the universe,

it had seemed the most logical choice.

            I opened my eyes as a presence made itself known and I glanced over my

shoulder back at Ben Kenobi's old house. I could almost make out a pair

of blue eyes watching me from the doorway and I smiled slightly before

returning my attention to the suns. They seemed so full of promise,

destined to greet and end the day together for the rest of the planet's

lifetime, which would be long, indeed, given the magical properties of

the Underground. The smile slipped back into a thoughtful expression as

I began to contemplate the images in front of me. It must be

nice...knowing that there's someone there to help you along through

everything...someone that would never leave your side. Sighing, I

walked a few yards further away, my eyes trained on the horizon as they

took in the flatness of this part of the desert planet. It possessed

its own sort of beauty...something feral and untamed, though artfully

done in every sand dune and sandstone arch.

            My lips tugged up slightly as footsteps approached behind me and two

arms wrapped gently around my waist. I glanced to my side momentarily

as Luke gently placed his chin on my shoulder, regarding me silently.

            "Thank you," I finally whispered, not tearing my eyes from the natural

wonder that was in front of me.

            "For what?" he asked, his jaw moving gently against my skin as he spoke.

            "For helping to bring me back...for bringing me here...for helping me

find a part of myself that I didn't think existed..." I sighed, letting

my voice fade as I struggled to fill in what I couldn't express with

words by using the Force. He returned the gesture, caressing my mind with

his.

            "I love you..." he whispered suddenly, his lips brushing my ear and I

shivered at his words and his closeness.

            "And I you," I managed, lightly tracing the back of his hands with my

fingertips. He seemed to briefly consider my reaction and almost

experimentally, he began to press light kisses along my jaw and down

my neck. I breathed a shaky sigh, suddenly realizing what was going on.

Up until that point I had had trouble picturing Luke in much of a

romantic situation, a fact that I didn't like in the least. But

now...now things were happening on their own and I had to admit that it

scared me. He immediately saw my apprehension and soothed me through

the Force, sending waves of comforting energy into my mind. Slowly he

moved his hands to my shoulders and turned me to face him.

            I gazed at Luke, suddenly seeing him in a whole new light. Dressed in

a navy blue flight suit that was covered by his coarse Jedi cloak, he

looked every bit the Jedi, but he was also a man. Our eyes locked and

he gave me a questioning look as his fingertips gently brushed over my

cheek. "I know you said before that you want to wait...I'd never take

advantage of you, but if you want to back out now..." His soft voice

faded as his other arm wrapped around my waist. I kept my gaze steady.

I loved him so much...wanted him so badly, but...

            "It's not that...you're probably the only man I'd ever make an

exception for, but...the Jedi Code...it says that there is no passion-"

He silenced me as his thumb lightly grazed over my lips, his eyes gentle.

            "But there can be love," he breathed, drawing me close and covering my

mouth with his. I felt my guard slip and I knew I would consent...this

is what I had wanted, what I had dreamed of. That didn't mean I was

absolutely sure of myself, though. Our minds melded together and I felt

my apprehensions fade as the moments passed. I inhaled sharply as he

gently opened my mouth and slipped his tongue in, tenderly probing as

he enhanced the gesture with the Force. A brief current of amusement

went from him to me and I had to remind myself that he was human, after

all...and so was I. Letting myself respond, I soon found myself

pressing against him until there wasn't any space left between us and I

almost backed away as I realized that I really was able to effect him.

He kept me close though, and I found myself replying hungrily to his

kiss, wrapping my arms tightly around him and not letting go. My lips

tugged up in a smile against his as he used one hand to massage the

back of my neck and slowly let the other run down my back, then lower,

evoking a whole new set of emotions in me. As his fingertips pressed

against my skin, there seemed to be an echo of the gesture through the

Force, enhancing each moment.

            Before I knew it I was working on undoing his cloak and soon grew

frustrated as the knots refused to cooperate with my fingers. Slowly he

pulled away and raised his hands to help me until finally the ties were

undone and he removed it from around his body and laid it open on the

desert sand. I gazed back up into his eyes and felt my stomach flip

just like it always did when they sparkled with amusement or

excitement. I gladly allowed him back into my arms and felt my body

shiver as he lightly sucked on an earlobe, his hand gently unfastening

the clip that had held my hair back before burying itself in my

tresses. Immediately, I began to unbutton his shirt and he pulled back

only to allow me to push it off his arms. I let my eyes run over his

bare chest, silently marvelling at how muscular he really was. I gently

clasped his chin in my palms and began raining light kisses over his

lips and jaw, slowly letting my hands slide down over his shoulders and

arms, pressing lightly against his skin. Luke shivered slightly at my

attentions and caught my hands in his as my fingertips reached his

palms before wrapping both arms round my waist and pulling me close once

more.

                         I hesitated briefly, suddenly unsure. That soon faded, though, as his

mouth reached my neck. Slowly, purposefully, I pressed my palms against

his sides and slid them down to his waistband, running my fingers

inside for a few moments. He reacted instantly and soon I found myself

pulling his pants down and his underwear with them. I just couldn't

bring myself to act as dominant as I had with Jareth...with the goblin

king it had been more of a game, a contest to see who could get the

best of who. This time, though, it was no dream...it was real. I

lightly pressed my cheek against Luke's thigh as I pulled the clothes

lower, until they were around his ankles. Reaching down, I took his

feet in my hands one at a time and helped him to step out of the pants

and removed his boots, lightly pressing my lips against each ankle as I

did so. Standing, I slipped a hand against the inside of his leg and

slid it up as I rose, cupping him gently as I finally reached a

standing position. Our mouths met instantly and his tongue twirled

around mind as my fingertips worked at him tenderly, increasing the

effect of the moment by running light energy through my hands to brush

against him with each gesture and was rewarded as he came alive in my

hands. 

            I tensed momentarily as his hands reached up and slowly slipped the

straps of my dress over my shoulders and down my arms until it was

nothing more than a puddle on the sand. The warmth of the planet felt

wonderful against my skin, though not as wonderful as Luke's hands. I

trembled as his fingertips danced over my back, pausing only to unhook

my bra and remove it, leaving it to meet the same fate as the dress and

I found myself pressing closer to him as his hands found the edge of my

underwear. Slowly, he pulled back and dropped to one knee as he slid

them down, exposing me completely. As I first noticed that his eyes

were on me and studying me completely, I could feel myself blush and

become hesitant. He immediately recognized my selfconciousness, though,

and through the Force reassured me that I was the one he wanted, the

one he loved. I found myself appraising him, as well, and becoming

quite pleased with what I saw. Abruptly, Luke wrapped an arm behind my

legs and stood, causing me to fall back into his waiting embrace.

Gathering me up, he kept his eyes on mine as he slowly turned and

lowered me onto his cloak, following me all the way down.

            My hand instinctively clasped the back of his head as he pressed his

lips to mine, and he allowed me to return the kiss and hold my own, and

didn't try to overwhelm me. Soon my palms were running down his neck

and back, loving every inch they touched. A sudden breeze blew sand

onto my upper chest and Luke leaned down and lightly blew it away, his

eyes never leaving mine as he did so. I tensed slightly at the

realization of what was to come and he soothed my apprehension with a

gentle shower of kisses on my cheeks, chin, nose, forehead, all along

my face before sliding his open mouth to my neck, his tongue lightly

brushing against my skin. My body shivered slightly as his hands ran

along my shoulders and arms, sending a warm wave of the Force through

everything he touched, leaving behind a gentle glow. Slowly he moved

his fingers to dance along my collarbone before slipping his palm

around a breast and massaging me tenderly with his fingertips. I moaned

softly and he pulled away, his eyes dancing in the evening sun. Luke

raised his other hand to my other breast and gently began to explore it

with his fingers, knowing exactly what I wanted. Our connection through

the Force was intense; it was almost as if we shared one mind at the

moment, as if we were one person moving as it wanted to move. I leaned

my head back and inhaled deeply, cherishing his scent that was on the

folds of cloth I was laying on as his tongue began to circle the hollow

of my throat, his fingers working magic along my chest. I intensified

my movement through the Force, sending warmth down his spine and legs,

not letting up for one moment. In response, I felt a glow surge down my

neck and arms, ending at my fingertips, and gasped as he began to kiss

at my cleavage and then pressed his mouth against my breasts, covering

each with kisses, not missing an inch. My breathing began to grow

ragged as his hands skimmed along my stomach, sending echoes of the

Force into me at each point of contact. Luke's mouth clasped on a

nipple and he began to suck lightly, his tongue circling and sending

physical and emotional heat through me. I slowly became aware of one of

his hands sliding along my leg and circling my knee before coming to a

stopping point between my legs, but far enough from where I wanted himto

be.

            "Luke, please..." I managed, my voice hoarse. His lips were too

occupied with their attentions to answer me. He merely stroked my inner

thighs, making my breaths turn into gasps as he opened his palm,

sending a large current of energy along my legs to trickle up the

crease in each thigh, tactfully avoiding what I longed for him to

touch. His free hand ran lightly along my leg, rubbing it gently.

Despite everything that I felt, I held my breath as the heel of his

palm pressed into my skin lightly and he slid his hand to my inner

thigh and back up...

            In my mind's eye I could see the twin suns slipping below the horizon

line, night taking twilight's place. A sudden chill took the air and I

trembled with the drop in temperature. Luke raised his mouth back to

cover mine, shielding me from the air with his body. My eyes widened

momentarily and I groaned into his mouth as his fingerips reached my

clit, sending bursts of warmth through me that more than made up for

the cold. Slowly he began to circle the nub of skin with his thumb,

letting the Force even reach me through that fingertip. Adding to it

was his kiss, deep and intense, yet loving and attentive. I returned it

eagerly, desperate to return some of the pleasure he was giving me. I

felt my body begin to writhe beneath him as he exetended two fingers

and traced each side of my opening, sending loving energy everywhere he

touched, his other hand making sure the currents through my legs and

hips never stopped once. Against my will he pulled his mouth from mine,

his eyes letting me know that it wasn't over, yet. Pressing gentle

kisses down my middle, he kept his fingers going, causing me to cry out

from the overload of it all. He nuzzled my thigh lovingly, pressing his

cheek against it before kissing my skin. I almost didn't catch the fact

that he draped each leg over his shoulder when he was through...I was

too busy responding to the fact that he was flicking his fingertips in

and out of me, nearly driving me mad with it all as his mind guided the

Force into me briefly, teasing me in a way only he could. My head hit

the cloak as his lips surrounded my clit, pressing gently as his tongue

circled it. When his tongue suddenly moved to explore inside of me, I

cried out and the sand directly behind my head was suddenly pushed away

by energy that I had to use up, or else be driven into overload by.

            When he felt me almost give, Luke returned his lips to mine briefly

before looking me straight in the eyes. I knew exactly what he was

thinking, what he was asking, and responded by nodding once. He

entered me, and I couldn't help but cry out at the sudden pain, but the

sound was muffled by his mouth on mine, just as the pain was muffled by

him taking it into himself through the Force. He was experiencing it

with me, I realized, a gesture that was touching and attractive all at

once. When the harshness subsided Luke began to move within me, pumping

as his hands ran along my bare skin. My arms instantly pulled him

closer as my hips worked to match his rhythm, the motion echoed by a

light throbbing in the Force. We both cried out as we reached climax,

our bodies and minds fully becoming one as his Force sense entered me

along with his seed. In exchange, I held him tight, letting him

experience my body and my soul as I caressed his mind with mine. For

the one brief moment, we were completely one entity.

            Later, we silently reassured each other through the Force as we looked

up at the stars, Luke pulling me close and wrapping me in his cloak. I

smiled against him, breathing in the smell of both our sweat mingled

together and marvelling at the beauty of the bright diamonds in the

black velvet of the night sky. It really didn't matter which of us was

the more experienced, who had had what relationship with who, or what

had happened before. We both knew that our relationship had changed

forever for the better and for the moment we were both contented on

just being close, on being one through the Force. It was better than

romance, it was better than love. It was heaven.
