[14]

Once everyone was squared away on what they wanted to do, I transformed into Upgrade and merged with the ship, fully upgrading it and removing the tracking beacon left by the former owner.

After upgrading my new ship to the same standards as my Sheathipede shuttle, I opened it up and allowed the others to enter.

'Siri, pilot the shuttle and the Yacht to Padmé's ship.' I mentally commanded my A.I. as we flew to the location of the downed J-type ship.

[Affirmative, flying to Padmé's ship's location ETA 5 minutes.] Siri replied to me as the ship gently hummed the only sign other than the sight of ground passing by the viewport symbolizing that we were moving.

Landing next to the ship Padmé's pilots and security force members were outside wielding blasters, while Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon joined them outside, their hands hovering near their lightsabers.

Padmé took out a communication device and informed them she was responsible for the two ships landing together.

"Will you tell me how you did that earlier?" Padmé asked me while seeming to vibrate like a Labrador retriever when someone is holding a ball.

"Magic." I replied to Padmé with a smirk and got a pout shot back at me while Shmi and Larissa covered their mouths and wrapped an arm around their stomachs to cover their giggling, at mine and Padmé's antics.

Talon looked at me with an almost reverent look while biting her bottom lip slightly and staring at me, the twins looked on in a reserved interest.

"The Queen of Naboo shouldn't pout." I chastised Padmé with a teasing lilt to my voice as I cupped her chin and ran my thumb over her slightly pale pink lips, which caused Padmé chest to hitch while a blush started to appear around her neck.

"A sc-scoundrel like you shouldn't." Padmé started to say something but I shut her up, by pulling her forward with a little flex of telekinesis, onto my lap and kissing her plump lips that were begging to be kissed.

"I hate you." Padmé whispered a bit shyly as she looked around the cockpit and saw all of the women watching our interactions as though we were under a microscope, which made Padmé school her expression of lovey dovey eyes, tame her flushed skin and return her slightly heavy breathing back to normal.

I couldn't help but smirk at Padmé as she started to make a move to get off my lap, while I grabbed her ass with both hands and started kneading, instantly making Padmé fall forward against me.

"Nngh, stop it." Padmé moaned loudly even as she buried her face into the crook of my neck.

"Hmm, I don't know…you do keep referring to me as a scoundrel…maybe I should start actually acting like one." I teasingly hummed my reply to Padmé giving her delicious rump a little slap which made her whole body shudder while a little pleased squeaky sound left her throat.

Standing up from my chair holding Padmé by the backs of her legs just under her ass, her legs coming up to wrap around me, as the arms she'd lazily wormed around my back tighten their grip on me.

"I guess…this is the last bit of time we'll spend like this for a while…isn't it Padmé?" I asked Padmé softly, and felt her reluctantly nod her head to me in reply.

"I have to be on board my own ship when it lands on Coruscant…though I'd rather spend the flight there, with my Wizard." Padmé replied to me and I could feel her burning face press even tighter against my neck.

"Yeah, I'm sure you would like to spend more time with me, haa…sadly there is only one of me." I replied to Padmé with a bit of teasing that only made Padmé nuzzle her face against my neck more insistently.

"Will-will you come with me to Coruscant?" Padmé asked me and I could tell it was a plea of someone not sure they could handle things alone.

"I don't think that would be wise Padmé…what would we say? That I'm your bodyguard…that would immediately set off alarms, and it's not like we can tell anyone except your most trusted that we're lovers." I replied to Padmé and found myself biting back my next reply as Padmé leaned back with watery eyes that had just started to turn red.

Her warm brown/green eyes looking into my hazel ones imploringly.

'I should just in case my existence in this universe…makes Palpatine hire assassins earlier than he's supposed to.' I thought to myself and nodded in reply to her making the tears disappear and a victorious smirk replaced her on the verge crying expression. Which made me raise an eyebrow at her.

'I never should have gone against a politician in a game of manipulation.' I thought to myself, while feeling utterly defeated and uncomfortable at being so easily manipulated by Padmé.

"Fine, I'll go but only to protect my investment and ensure Naboo rewards me accordingly for my services." I replied to Padmé trying to regroup some of my pride as a man only for the little smirk on her lips telling me I was hopeless.

'Haa, I caught feelings way to fast, damn you charm of luck you're supposed to help me get/be lucky not other people, or maybe it's just because I'm too starved for female attention.' I idly thought to myself as I gave Padmé's ass one final squeeze, making Padmé release a sigh, and roll her eyes at me as she let go of me and I lowered her so her feet touched the ground.
