Gradually regaining consciousness, I squinted my eyes while they took a moment to recalibrate themselves after an unknown time of inactivity. Getting up was always a pain, it never mattered if you got three hours or thirteen hours, you'd always be tired when climbing out of bed.
At least that's how it is for me.
Despite my usual morning drowsiness, I couldn't hold back the smile that dawned on my features like Coruscant's artificial sun in the morning.
Pinning my arm to the mattress, was a very naked Aayla. Her lekku were sprawled out messily, one barely hanging off the edge of the bed and her body placement wasn't much better. All of her characteristic grace was gone in favour of…whatever this was.
But still she managed to make it look sexy…If you could ignore the small wet patch that had appeared near her mouth - formed from a night's worth of dribble trickling out and onto the bed.
Using my free arm to wipe the lethargy away, I reminisced over last night, and what a time it was.
That was hands down the best sex I've ever hand in my life. Period.
Strangely enough, it wasn't the physical aspect that had me smitten…well maybe it did, but the emotional depth was what really took it to the next level. The constant influx of information practically had me on auto-pilot the whole night, giving me the chance to go with the flow instead of actually having to consciously think about my next move.
The full experience was intoxicating, with both of our emotions influencing each other it was like we ended up in a neverend loop of searching for pleasure. A phenomenon not so different from the mechanics behind Vaapad, the pair of us continuously wanting more as time passed.
It was only exhaustion settled in did we actually stop. If it weren't for that we'd still be going at it.
My awakening must've rustled Aayla out of the depths of sleep, her eyelids fluttered open as she sat up and looked around the room with sleepy eyes. Catching my gaze, she blinked before realising she was completely nude and covering up her breasts with her forearms.
Smiling, I spoke, "Don't know why you're bothering to cover up. It's a bit late for that isn't it?" The corners of my mouth only rose further as Aayla's blush intensified at a staggering rate.
Cute.
Though there was a bit of hesitation, Aayla removed her hand, choosing to prop it up against the bed and use it to hold her seating position with greater ease. I also got the short but delightful bounce as her bosom fell an inch or two down to their resting position.
Though she struggled to hold eye contact, Aayla eventually said, "Last night was…great."
"Yeah, it definitely sounded like you enjoyed yourself. You were very vocal about it." I replied.
"I was, wasn't I? It's just, I never thought the force could make me feel so free, I might have gotten carried away by the feeling it gave." She explained, her lekku brushing against one another as she spoke.
"Oh? That mad empathic thing we had going on? I meant you're moaning. Honestly, I thought you were going to turn me deaf at one point." I smirked while getting up to stretch my stiff body.
Whether Aayla's rather apparent redness was from my comment or from me standing up naked as the day I was born, she still managed to say, "It's your fault. You just kept on going, never thinking to give me a break."
"Really?" Pausing to let out a groan that accompanied a loud popping of multiple joints cracking, "Because I distinctly remember you taking the lead for a good hour or so."
Interrupting our talk was an audible rumbling that came from Aayla, who placed her free hand over her stomach.
"Hungry?" I asked as a formality.
"Very." Aayla answered, her belly going off again only emphasising it.
While opening one of the floaty drawers underneath the bed, I told her, "C'mon, let's go through and I'll whip something up."
Taking out a pair of shorts and a housecoat, I stuck the former on, and threw the latter over to Aayla so she wouldn't have to walk around in the skud. As sad as it was seeing Aayla put clothes on again, I knew it would happen eventually.
Though the twang of emptiness disappeared nearly immediately when I saw Aayla sporting a dumb look, fumbling to put on a housecoat ten sizes too big for her.
--------------------------------------
Breakfast, or possibly lunch - I still haven't checked the time - was quality. I ended up frying enough meat to give a fully grown rancor heart disease, while Aayla helped me out and made all the complimentary shit.
After utterly causing terminal damage to the stack of food on my plate, I turned my attention to Aayla who was acting weird ever since we sat down.
She must've been waiting for me to finish before bringing it up, because as soon as I put the fork down she started to talk, "So…Now that we…you know. What now?" Her eyes flickering between me and the last remains of her breakfast.
Not footing the issue, I reply, "What is it you want? If you'd prefer we go no further, just tell me and we'll break things off here. But if you don't there's a lot more to think about."
Although my heart pounded wildly and my gut churned uncomfortably, I sat in quietly waiting for my salvation or crucifixion.
The silence was eating away at me, this is what I was afraid of. Not so much being dumped after a one night stand, but destroying our entire relationship over one night of absolutely mindblowing sex.
When the tension became palpable, Aayla's lips parted, "I…I would not mind continuing our relationship down this path."
Releasing the breath I never even realised I was holding in, a wave of relief washed over me. None of my fears came true, and even better our relationship has been kicked up a notch, which means last night wouldn;t be a one time thing.
"Made me sweat a bit there." I said as a joke, even though it really wasn't, "I can sense a but coming though. Let me guess, you don't want the order to know about it."
"But I don't want the order to find out." She told me.
"You know we could just go, leave the order and wash our hands of everything." I seriously said, the orders nice and all but I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. Especially knowing that it was on its last legs.
"I cant." Aayla responded with a complicated look on her face, "The order, the republic needs us more than ever. I'd feel like a traitor if I were to back out now."
"I thought as much. Don't mind what I said, it was just a whim." Using the force I cleared the table and filed everything into the dishwasher before asking, "C'mon let's head to the temple we'll see if you can get on the Ryloth mission."
