“Think Imps have changed much in five years?” You asked as you, the child and the Mandalorian made your way into town.
“No,” he said, a finality in his voice. “Ran into some not long before I found you again. Same as always.”
“Well that’ll make things easier,” you sighed. “I’ve acted like an Imp before, I can do it again.”
Your arm brushed his and you quickly crossed it over you, trying to ignore the spark that ran over you where you’d touched him.
It had been like this since you’d woken up, naked and alone, in the Mandalorian’s bed.
“Din?” You’d whispered into the darkness, wrapping yourself from the blankets you’d been tucked in as you got out of bed. There was no response. You said his name again, a bit louder. No luck. “I’m turning on a light,” you said, knowing there was no way he was in the room. It was small, you’d have bumped into him getting out of the bed if he were. You closed your eyes all the same, giving him a moment to protest. It was silent. You opened your eyes slowly anyway, squinting against the brightness and ready to snap them shut again just in case he was there, unmasked, and you somehow had missed him. But the room was empty.
His armor and flight suit were gone, as were the clothes he’d helped you remove. Sitting beside the bed was a pair of pants and a shirt, like the ones you’d woken up in before, folded and waiting for you. You put them on, cuffing the pants so you wouldn’t trip, and you put the blankets you’d used to cover yourself back where they belonged on the bed before you went in search of the Mandalorian.
You found him in the cockpit, the tell-tale sound of engines a hint for where to go. The kid was on his lap, happily eating some of the meat from the planet you’d just left.
“Hey,” you said, even though you knew he’d have heard you come in.
“Wanted to get an early start,” he said, not looking at you.
“Sure,” you nodded.
“I’ll fix the heaters in a bit,” he said.
“If you need help, let me know,” you leaned against the wall of the cockpit, arms crossed. That got him to turn around.
“You don’t know how to fix things,” you could almost hear him frowning. You shrugged.
“I learned.” His silence was skeptical. “I had farm equipment to maintain. I’ve never worked on a starship but I can’t imagine the principles are all that different. You don’t want me running the show but I can help.”
“Good to know.”
You stood there awkwardly for a moment, trying to not think about your naked body against his while wishing you’d been with it enough to properly appreciate how much of his skin you’d gotten to touch instead of being too freezing and exhausted to think straight.
“Are these clothes yours?” You asked after too much silence for you to really tolerate. He nodded once. “I’ve just never seen you wear them.”
“I don’t around other people,” he said.
“Right.”
You chewed the inside of your cheek. You wished you’d just kissed him. You doubted you’d ever have the chance again, so close without a helmet in the way, you should have just kissed him. At least asked to kiss him. You couldn’t let the silence hang there anymore and you just left, going back into the hold and putting some distance between you and the Mandalorian.
He did ask for help when working on the heaters. Your size came as a plus, his shoulders too broad to properly reach the wires he needed.
“Be careful,” he sounded stressed. “If you…”
“It’s fine, Mando,” you said, torso inside the ship as you tested the wires. You found the issue, unplugging it from the panel and carefully slipping back into the hold. “Here’s your problem, it’s fried.”
He took it from you, holding it up.
“I don’t have any more of this,” he sighed. “Have to look for some on Jakku. At least the junk trade there is solid, finding pre-Empire compatible parts is getting harder and harder.”
“There’s more like that in there,” you nodded to the wire, your arm propped up on your raised knee. “Anything going to be a fire hazard if it goes? I’ve made it this far in life, I’d rather not be taken out by equipment failure.”
He sighed.
“Can you reach it?”
“I’ll need to climb all the way into the panel,” you shrugged. “But I think so. I won’t really know what I’m looking for, though, I’ll need you to describe it.”
“It’s probably the whole heating system,” he said. “I’ve got auxiliary to keep us from freezing to death if we need to detach it all but it won’t be a fun trip.”
“Better than dying in a fireball,” you said, turning and crawling into the panel, carefully working your way past wires without knocking them loose.
“Don’t like you in there, Doll,” he said as you reached the part of the panel you needed. There was an access point here, so you were at least able to move a little easier. You rolled your eyes, moving along the heater panel, checking all the wires.
“There’s a lot of wear and tear in here, Mando,” you frowned. “These wires look awfully close to the one I pulled. I think we might need to shut it off…”
“That’s going to make for a cold flight,” he sighed. “Can you reroute power to the auxiliary while you’re in there? Hopefully boost it?”
“Sure,” you replied, puzzling out the panels for a minute. “As soon as I figure out which one that is.”
“Don’t like this…” he muttered again. You ignored him, finding what you thought was the power cable and pulling it. You heard something power down but weren’t quite sure what.
“Didn’t just lose anything crucial did we?” You called.
“No, that was the heat,” he sighed. You nodded.
“Well at least it wasn’t life support,” you muttered, tracing your fingers along the panel until you found what you were pretty sure was the auxiliary system and attached it. “I think I have it, give it a go.”
It was quiet for a moment and you shifted your weight from foot to foot, the crouch you were stuck in getting uncomfortable.
“That was it,” he said. “Now get out of there before you electrocute yourself.”
“Such little faith,” you muttered as you made your way back into the hold. He ignored your comment as you used him for balance to get out of the innards of his ship. You sighed, crossing your arms. Even though the heaters had only just switched over, you already felt colder. But you were pretty sure it was just your mind getting ahead of your body.
“We should… I don’t know, swaddle him or something,” you nodded to the baby who was flicking through artwork on your data pad. “We need to keep him warm.”
“We can hole up in the bunk,” Din sighed. “Keep the heat concentrated in the smallest space…”
So that’s what you did. It was the first time there’d been any kind of physical intimacy between the two of you that one of you couldn’t just run away from, though you supposed it was different. It wasn’t like he’d had his fingers inside you or guided your hips over his until both of you came. He’d just held you to warm you up. While naked. Without the helmet.
You bundled up the best you could, Din sitting on one end of the bunk and you on the other, the baby clambering over both of your legs as they sat beside each other, as though you were living obstacle courses there for his amusement.
“Do you remember ever being that care free?” You asked, watching as the kid slipped a little on the Mandalorian’s beskar.
“A bit,” he said, offering the child a steadying hand. “It feels very far away, though. Another lifetime. You?”
“Yes and no,” you shrugged eventually. “I remember running and playing with my friends but those memories are so closely tied to bigger things. Like going to Alderaan as a girl. I got to see my friend and run in the woods and climb and do what children do but on the way there or home, I almost always had to deliver a message or retrieve one. Sometimes both. The joy was never had for joy’s sake.”
The kid moved on to trying to climb up the Mandalorian’s chest plate, grunting at the effort. Din offered him a hand but he ignored it. So he put it below the child, where he couldn’t see it, giving him a foothold he didn’t know was help. You smiled.
“I’d like that,” he said, looking up to you. “Joy for joy’s sake.”
You smiled, leaning your head back against the wall of the bunk.
“Me too.”
You’d fallen asleep with the child snuggly between you, Din leaving his armor on the floor - though the flight suit and helmet and your clothes stayed on. But in your sleep, you could have sworn you felt his lips on your forehead.
When you made it to Jakku, you were so cold you damn near sank into the sand, just happy to feel something warm. But now that you were there, you had a job to do.
You’d made a list of things you’d need to get into where you thought you needed to be - a bar that was popular with the Imperial set. The General, according to Din’s friend, was shifty. If he was there, he would hardly show up nightly and would only go places he felt secure. That narrowed the hunting grounds a bit.
Din had come to the opposite side of the planet from the outpost the Imperials reportedly collected at to gather supplies - both for you and the ship. You found some clothes that would help you blend in, a few days worth, and cartridges that would fit your blaster.
“I’ll stick to outside the outpost, about 30 clicks or so,” the Mandalorian said as you walked down the dusty street. “Close enough to get you out fast, far enough that they shouldn’t know I’m there.”
“So how am I getting to the outpost,” you frowned. You felt the kid’s eyes on you so you looked down to him, in his bag on Mando’s hip. Longing. You held out a finger and he took it, the kid immediately feeling happier. The Mandalorian looked your way and you could almost sense his expression, suddenly realizing what he was expecting. “No.”
“It’s just you,” he replied. “I thought you said you were fine when it was just you.”
“Don’t expect me to be racing out of there on a speeder,” you replied. “I won’t be making any dramatic escapes with it.”
“You can sell it when you get to town if you really want,” he said soothingly. You sighed.
“I can’t tell if you’re doing this to torture me or if this really is the best plan.”
“It’s the best plan,” he replied. “The torture is a perk. Just need to find one for a decent price.”
You sighed, glaring up at him.
“I have a better idea.”
The three of you made your way to the bar in town. You sent the Mandalorian in a few minutes before you, trying to make it look like you didn’t know each other. You spotted him quickly, his armor glistening from the corner while the kid happily drank from a small cup as he stood on the table.
You sat at the bar, ordering a weak cocktail and sipping it slowly, biding your time. If this planet had a fair few Imps, one would wander in eventually. You were right, not needing to wait long.
A man came into the bar, not much older than you but he had the military look you’d come to know well. Short hair, utilitarian clothes, a chip on his shoulder that you could have seen from space. He took the bar stool a few seats down from you and tried to get the attention of the bar tender, who was busy with other things. You looked him over as he ground his teeth, getting frustrated.
“Remember when we used to be treated well in places like this?” You smiled, tilting your body toward him. He looked you up and down, his eyes lingering on your chest.
“Those were the days,” he said, not sounding as frustrated as he looked. “What happened?”
You shrugged.
“Little fear went a long way.”
“Did it ever,” he changed seats, moving closer to you, watching your fingers as they trailed up your drink glass.
“So I was right,” you tilted your head a little, smiling flirtatiously. “You served?”
“Four years,” he said. “Sounds like you did, too, but you don’t look it.”
“Officers never do, do we?” You smirked.
“Where were you stationed?” He asked. He was facing you fully now, his whole body aligned with yours. You took a sip of your drink.
“Naboo,” you smiled. “You?”
“I was Naval,” he replied. “On the Executor.”
“Lord Vader’s ship?” Your eyebrows raised. You were impressed, not even having to fake it.
“Were you on Naboo for Cinder?” He asked. “Heard that was a bloodbath.”
“It was rough,” you nodded. “Barely made it out… The Executor? I don’t think I’ve met anyone who served on that vessel. You seem awfully young…”
“Well,” he smirked. “When you’re good at what you do, you rise through the ranks fast.”
You leaned in closer to him.
“Prove it,” you smiled.
“Prove it?” He swallowed, hard. You nodded. “How?”
You sat back, arching your back just so, his eyes almost snapping to your breasts.
“I’ll show you mine if you show me yours,” you quirked a brow at him. His eyes went back to yours. “Never seen an Executor service token before.”
He all but dove his hand into his pocket, pulling out a large, silver coin and slapping it on the bar. You picked it up, turning it over in your fingers, the image of a Star Destroyer on one side and the seal of the Empire on the other. The name of the ship was stamped into the outside edge. You smiled. You couldn’t have asked for a better way to sell your story.
“Impressive,” you smiled, downing the rest of your cocktail before tucking the token in your pocket and standing up.
“Hey wait,” he said, standing up, too.
“Well, aren’t you coming?” You asked over your shoulder as you headed for the door. He trailed behind you, his hand going to your lower back and sliding lower as you made your way outside.
“Do you have a place near here?” He asked as you lead him down the nearest alley.
“No,” you stopped and faced him, smiling. He looked confused. “I just needed your service token.”
“Wait,” he sounded confused, too. “I didn’t give it to you, not like that…”
“That’s true,” you nodded. “But I’m taking it. You can let me or you can try to take it back, but I wouldn’t recommend it.”
He was slow enough that you could see him figuring it out, the anger slowly building in him before he lunged for you. You sidestepped him, grabbing his hand and folding it back, making him yelp in pain.
“I was so hoping you’d choose this option,” you smirked, hooking your leg around his ankle and ripping it out from below him, watching as he crumpled to the ground.
“You said you served on Naboo!” His eyes searched yours.
“Never said for which side, you Imperial piece of shit,” you twisted his wrist until it snapped and you let it go. He pulled it into himself, staring at it in disbelief. You crouched down to his level, grabbing him by the hair and making him look at you.
“Now did you really serve on the Executor?” You asked, searching his eyes. “Or did you steal or buy this off someone and you just wanted to talk a big game?”
He looked terrified, like he wasn’t sure what the right answer was.
“I served,” his voice shook. “But I was just an enlisted! I was on janitorial, I never even fired my weapon outside of training, I swear!”
You caught a glimpse of beskar coming down the alley.
“What do you think, Mando?” You said, not looking up at him and keeping your eyes on the man in front of you. “Says he never fired his weapon. Think that excuses him?”
“He’s seen your face,” the Mandalorian replied, voice deathly calm. “He touched you. Should kill him.”
“Please!” He cried, cradling his wrist to his chest. “I swear, I never hurt anyone, I promise!”
You looked up at the Mandalorian, his arms crossed over his metal covered chest. He met your gaze, you could feel the intensity of his eyes behind the helmet. You looked back to the man on his knees in front of you.
“You ever going to tell anyone you saw me?” You asked him.
“No, never, not a word!” He was almost sobbing.
“You ever going to brag about being an Imp again?”
“No!”
“And why not?” You asked, still holding his hair. “Is propping up a fascist dictatorship that murdered billions something to be proud of?”
“No, please!”
You released him and he slumped to the ground. You stuck your hands in his pockets, finding a speeder key.
“Breathe a word of this and I’ll bleed you dry,” you said, stepping over him. “I’m keeping the coin and I’m taking the bike. Consider it reparations.”
It didn’t take long to find his speeder bike in front of the bar and you handed the keys to the Mandalorian.
“Now we don’t need to buy one,” you said. He climbed on the bike, setting the kid in front of him and leaning far enough forward for you to climb on the back. You wrapped your arms around his waist and put your head in the middle of his back.
“Should have killed him,” he said.
“He’s young,” you sighed. “Got sucked up in it. Who knows, maybe now he’ll do something good.”
Mando moved the ship to outside the outpost that night, setting it down near some rocks that made for decent enough cover. You climbed to the top of them, using binocs to scout a bit. There wasn’t much to see, Jakku as barren as Tatooine, the grit of sand slipping between your fingers. You hauled blankets outside and set them on the rock, Mando watching you like you were crazy the whole time.
“What?” You asked eventually, stretching out on one.
“It’s rock,” he said. “The ship is more comfortable.”
You shrugged.
“I like being outside,” you jerked your chink up toward the stars. “I can take some uncomfortable sleep.”
He sighed before stretching out beside you, the kid already asleep in his pod. You hesitated before rolling onto your side and wrapping around him, your head on his chest, arm draped over his stomach. He hesitated for a second before putting his arm around you, his fingers curling around your ribs, lightly brushing the bottom of your breast. You smiled, looking at the stars reflected on his beskar.
“I’m…” he paused, like he was rethinking what he was going to say. “It’s going to be weird, you being gone again.”
“Just for a few days,” you shrugged. “Maybe less, if our Imp shows his face sooner rather that later.”
You were both silent. He pulled you a little snugger against him.
“I’m going to miss you, too,” you said.
***
You may have been a natural at a number of things but flying a speeder was not one of them. Din did his best to not laugh as you took the controls to travel to the outpost, the kid watching with a concerned expression from his pod.
“I can’t believe you’re this worried about driving a speeder,” he shook his head, arms crossed in front of him.
“Some of us aren’t good at everything,” you muttered, your arms looking oddly stiff.
“Doll,” he said, fighting to keep the amusement from his voice. You looked at him, glaring a little. “It’s just 30 clicks and there’s nothing between here and there but sand. It’s going to be OK. Do you think I’d try to talk you into something that wasn’t going to be OK.”
“No,” you replied. “But I hate speeder bikes.”
“You’re fine when you’re on them with me,” he shrugged.
“Yeah, I trust you to drive them,” you snapped. “I’m another story.”
“You jumped us away from Coruscant once,” he replied. “That’s a busy system, you didn’t crash us into anything. You can fly a speeder bike through the desert.”
“Yeah yeah,” you muttered. You were wearing the clothes they’d gotten you the day before, you looking every inch like an Imp officer who’d been stuck on a backwater planet. The service token was in your pocket - your key into the Imperial gathering place - as was a com link and your knife. Your blaster was at your thigh and your bag was strapped to the back of the bike with enough to get you through at least a week of observing and feeding Din information.
“If anything happens…” he started but you cut him off.
“I’ll call.”
“I’m serious,” he said, regretting this plan more and more the closer you got to leaving. “If you get into a bad spot, hide and tell me. I’ll get you out.”
“Din,” you sat up straight, hands on your thighs. “It’s going to be fine. Just a bar full of old Imps, not a snake pit.”
“Don’t try to take him in,” he ignored you. “Just locate him.”
“I know what I’m doing.”
He looked at you for a moment. You were watching him, patiently waiting for him to adjust to the lack of control he knew he was about to have. You hadn’t been this far away from him since he’d found you again. He knew it would have to happen eventually. That, before too long, you’d be much further for much longer. It didn’t make him feel any better.
“Let me know when you get there,” he said. “And give me location information for wherever you find a room. I want to be able to get to you quickly.”
“OK,” you smiled, almost condescendingly.
“Be safe, Doll.”
You just gave him a nod before leaning over the bike, starting it and taking a deep breath before shooting off. Din watched you go, eyes still on the horizon long after he couldn’t see you anymore.
“C’mon kid,” he sighed, patting his little head. “We’ve got repairs to make.”
***
You made it to the outpost without incident and you tried your damndest to not look shaky getting off the stupid bike.
It wasn’t a huge place and it didn’t take you long to get the lay of the land. You parked your bike down the street from a bar that you suspected was the right one, watching people come and go for a bit. It looked like there was an inn on the upper floors, a stroke of luck you weren’t anticipating. You took a moment to center yourself, reminding yourself why you were there.
It had been a while since you’d done something of this magnitude. You’d been surrounded by Imps before, sometimes for days, but you’d had more reliable cover. You didn’t have a fake chain code, no believable ID. If anyone questioned your story, the only thing you had to back yourself up - give you any clout - was the service token you’d stolen the night before. Blasting your way out of here would be hard. You just had to lie low enough that you didn’t draw unwanted attention but be noticeable enough that you could confirm the General’s identity. A delicate balance.
You slung your bag over your arm and stalked into the bar, carrying yourself with the confidence of someone who belonged. Everyone in the bar had the feel you’d come to associate with Imperials. Entitled, uniform, the idea that no cost was too high for what they wanted. If they couldn’t buy it, they would take it.
“Can I help you?” The bar tender met you at the end of the bar, looking you over. You tried to place her allegiance as quickly as you could. She seemed a bit different, probably just working here for a job and not because she supported the cause. You’d have to make sure that - if you did have to shoot your way out of here - that she wasn’t collateral damage.
“New in town,” you said gruffly. “Heard this was a good place to find jobs from… like minded folk.”
A few people in the bar looked your way and you squared your jaw, almost daring them to come challenge you. None did.
“Do you have a room?” You asked, turning back to the young woman behind the bar.
She took your credits and gave you a key and you made your way upstairs. You’d gotten lucky, she’d given you a corner room on the top floor, giving you more ways out and fewer ways for people on the inside to eavesdrop or break through. Plus, getting to the roof for a quick escape would be easy, just out the window and up.
You set your bag down and did a quick search of the room, checking for potential recording devices or traps. Not that anyone knew you were coming but you wouldn’t put it past Imperials to tap every room in the place. They’d have no qualms about spying on their fellow Imps. Hell, that just might be a perk.
But there was no sign of anything nefarious. You peeked out the window, high enough off the ground that you doubted anyone on the street below could see you. In another stroke of luck, the windows of the inn weren’t just open holes in the wall but had actual panes of glass, offering some quiet and privacy. Probably why Imps were so drawn to this place, you realized. Hard to do illegal business under the nose of the New Republic when someone could just stand under your window and hear everything you had to say.
You fished out your com link.
“Mando?” You said, keeping your voice low. He responded almost immediately.
“Doll,” he replied. “You make it?”
“No, I’m dead in the desert.”
“That’s not funny.”
“I disagree,�� you smiled to yourself before getting down to business. “I’m at the inn, it’s over the bar. Pretty easy to find.”
“Which room?”
“Northeast corner, top floor,” you replied. “Swept it for bugs already. We got lucky, there are real windows here, seems built for privacy.”
“That is lucky,” he said. “What’s the place like?”
“About what you’d expect,” you shrugged, even knowing he couldn’t see you. “Full of them, same as ever.”
He was silent for a moment.
“How’s the kid?”
He didn’t answer for a moment. You were about to check the com when he spoke.
“He misses you.”
You smiled for a second, hoping that maybe he wasn’t just talking about the kid.
“I miss him, too.”
You were silent again, sitting on the bed in your room, feeling oddly alone.
“I’m going to go see what I can learn,” you said eventually.
“Check in when you get back to your room,” Mando said. “If you don’t check in for longer than 12 hours, I’m coming to get you.”
“You’re overbearing, you realize that?”
“Don’t get yourself killed,” he said. “Talk to you soon.”
You switched the com off and headed downstairs. You picked a corner table, small enough that you wouldn’t be a problem but large enough that someone wouldn’t mind joining you if they wanted to talk.
You sat like an Imp, taking up as much space as you could, one leg stretched into the aisle alongside the table, the opposite arm laying across the back of the booth. You ordered a beer and sipped it slowly, watching as people came and went. One man came in who was in the age bracket of Shadrin but he sat close enough to you that you could eavesdrop with ease. No luck.
The lack of puck made this difficult. You had no idea what the guy looked like, just that he was a human man in his 60s.
“Heard you were looking for work,” a younger man from the bar came and stood next to you, beer bottle dangling from his hand.
“What’s it to you?” You asked, keenly aware of the longer reach for your blaster. You watched him carefully, like a predator.
“Haven’t seen you before,” he shrugged, taking the seat in the booth across from you.
“New to the area,” you said, looking out to the bar.
“You serve?” He asked. You looked at him, brows raised. He put his hands up in surrender. “It’s a valid question, we can’t just trust anybody who walks in here.”
You glared at him for a second before reaching into your pocket and pulling out the service token, slapping it on the table. He picked it up, looking it over.
“Executor?” He nodded, looking impressed before setting it back down. “Not many enlisted got that gig.”
“The hell makes you think I was enlisted,” you snapped.
“Seem a bit young to be an officer,” he replied.
“Not when you can do what I can do,” you grabbed the token off the table and stuck it back in your pocket. “If you’re not hiring, move along and stop wasting my time.”
“What kind of work you after?” He asked, looking you up and down.
“The kind that’ll make a difference,” you said.
“What skills do you have?”
“Keep asking me stupid questions and you’ll find out,” you snapped. He smirked.
“Might know someone who’s looking for help,” he replied. “How long are you here for?”
“Until I find the right job,” you replied. “What’s the job?”
“I’ll let him tell you that,” he said. “Assuming you’re still here next time he comes in.”
He took his beer and left your table.
The first man was the closest thing you had to a lead that night. You stayed in your corner, drinking your way through 3 beers over the course of 8 hours - enough to not be suspicious but little enough that you stayed sober. A few others approached you, offering small work that you pretended was below you. One tried to pick you up and you pulled your knife on him, threatening to cut his balls off when he wouldn’t take a no and just kept talking.
You were cautious as you made your way up to your room. You put your bag just on the other side of the door when you got in - not against it, where it wasn’t heavy enough to make a difference anyway but far enough in that it’d trip someone in the dark if they weren’t looking - and called Din.
“Hey,” you said, waiting for a second. He answered quickly.
“Still alive, I hear.”
You laughed a little.
“Nah,” you said. “Just haunting you.”
“You would.”
You rolled your eyes, falling back on your bed.
“Any luck?” He asked.
“Possible lead,” you replied. “Talked to a guy who sounded like he did advance work for someone higher up. Didn’t get a name or a schedule, he sounds cagey which is a good thing for us.”
“Could be our guy,” Din agreed.
You were quiet for a moment.
“Your contact say why they’re so interested in him?” You asked.
“Not in detail,” he replied. “She’s New Republic Special Forces, not sure she could say. Don’t think she was supposed to be asking me for help but…”
“You’re good at what you do,” you said when he was quiet for a moment.
“Sounds like he’s working on something,” he replied. “Otherwise I doubt she’d have called.”
“Got the impression the guy here is looking for talent outside the norm,” you said. “So I tried to fit the bill.”
“You’re good at what you do,” he said. You smiled a bit. “I’m sure you’ve got his attention.”
You were quiet for a moment, looking around your stark room. You’d spent the last few nights beside Din and the last few weeks with him never that far away. You thought you were used to being alone but this felt lonely.
“Get the ship fixed?” You asked, mostly for something to say.
“Close,” he replied. “I can’t fit where you can, I’ve had to take some things apart. She’ll still fly fine, but there are more pieces in my hold than I really like.”
“So particular.”
“Yeah,” he laughed. “I like my ships in one piece, I’m picky that way.”
You sighed after a moment.
“I’m not sure I can blast my way out of here if I need to,” you said, biting your lip.
“Are you OK?” He asked quickly.
“I’m fine,” you said, stretching your legs a bit, adjusting on the bed. “But I just thought you should know. There’s a fair bit of firepower here. They’ve got men and they’ve got blasters. I don’t think I’m in danger but if it comes down to it, you might just need to take the kid and go.”
“No.”
“Din…” you sighed.
“No. That’s the end of it.”
“If it’s me or the kid, you choose the kid,” you said. “And I don’t mean in a sure thing, either, because I know what you’d do then. I mean if it looks at all dicey, do not risk that boy. Understand?”
He was silent.
“I mean it, Din,” you said. “Do not risk it.”
“I promise I won’t take any undue risks with the kid’s life,” he said after a moment.
“That was oddly specific,” you replied.
“It’s the answer you’re getting.”
“You’re infuriating.”
“And you’re frustrating,” he replied. “Same as always.”
You rolled your eyes but found yourself wishing you could turn and look at him, touch him. When you slept beside each other, even if you started out feet apart you always ended up close, naturally gravitating toward each other, even when you weren’t conscious.
Neither of you had said goodnight but it had been a few minutes since you’d said anything and you let your mind drift, staring at the ceiling. Without meaning to, you found yourself remembering the night by the fire, the night that he’d touched you. The way his hands - his bare, ungloved hands - had roamed over your skin, leaving trails of heat over your flesh. You’d felt the desire there, the need and the want that mirrored your own, you were sure it was there when he sank his fingers into you, his thumb working your clit, his other hand against your breast and then your mouth and then your hair…
You slipped one hand below your shirt, cupping your breast, the other drifting into your pants, slipping over your lower lips, brushing your clit, finding the slick heat at your core.
“Doll?” His voice on the com made you jump and you scrambled for it, answering it as quickly as you could.
“Yeah?” You said, wincing at the sound of your voice. He paused.
“What were you just doing?”
“Nothing.”
“Doesn’t sound like nothing.”
You were quiet, breathing heavy, cheeks hot.
“Keep doing it,” he said, his voice dark. You swallowed, hard.
“Doing what?” You asked.
“You know what.”
You were silent.
“Where’s your hand, Doll.” He asked while not asking - he never could just ask.
“None of your business,” you said, still a little breathless.
“It’s my business,” he replied. “I want you to put your hand between your legs.”
“You think I’m going to just do what you tell me?” You demanded even though you knew you were going to listen to him, you were already desperate.
“Yes,” he said. “Put your hand between your legs. Tell me when you have.”
“Only if you do it, too,” you said quickly.
“Deal,” he said. “Put your hand between your legs, Doll.”
You took a shaky breath and obeyed, putting your fingers back against yourself.
“OK,” you said, trying to keep your voice from trembling.
“Touch your clit,” he ordered. “Lightly, one finger, moving in a circle.”
You closed your eyes and obeyed, the sound of his voice settling warm in your stomach, like the best liquor, getting you drunk on desire. A light moan slipped from your lips.
“Good,” he said, his voice heavier. “Keep going, a little harder now, up and down.”
“Are you…” you managed, but he cut you off.
“Don’t worry about me,” he said. “Add another finger, a little harder, faster.”
You obeyed. It was easy, pretending it was his hand touching you when his voice was so close, telling you what to do, making it so you didn’t need to think or worry.
“Slide your fingers down,” he ordered. “Use your palm on your clit, get your fingers nice and wet for me, Doll.”
“Din,” you whimpered as you obeyed.
“I want you to push into yourself,” he almost moaned it, sounding almost as desperate as you felt. “Slowly. You’re tight, don’t go too hard…”
“Fuck,” you moaned, opening yourself with your two fingers, slowly sinking into your sex.
“Tell me when you’re all the way inside, Doll,” he was panting now. “I want to hear you.”
Your walls clenched tight around your fingers, wetness seeping out onto your hand, until you were buried deep inside yourself.
“I am,” you managed.
“Good,” he said. “Curve your fingers up into yourself, you know where I mean.”
You obeyed with a choked moan, pressing into the spot he’d found with his fingers.
“Keep your fingers curved,” he said. “And slowly slide them down, almost out of you, keep your palm on your clit.”
You did as you were told, moving excruciatingly slowly inside yourself, your body starting to tighten around you.
“Doll?” He asked. His voice was needy. “Tell me what you need.”
“You,” you whimpered.
“Me what.”
“You to make me cum,” you were ready to beg if he needed. “You to cum. You in me. Please…”
“Push your fingers inside yourself again,” he said. “Harder, faster. Then pull them back. Do it again and again for me, harder and faster each time.”
“Fuck,” you gasped it as you worked your hand against yourself, your body getting tighter and tighter. “Are you close?”
“I’m not cumming until you’re at least on number two, Doll,” he said. “Let me hear you.”
You moaned, pressing harder and faster into yourself, your fingers stretching your wet heat to the point of soreness but you didn’t care, breaths coming in keening pants.
“Fuck, I’m about to cum,” you moaned.
“Do it,” he commanded. “Cum for me.”
You went over the edge at his words, your whole body throbbing with it, not able to see straight from it.
“Din,” you moaned, breathless, your fingers stilled inside you. “Fuck…”
“Did I tell you to stop?” He asked.
“No.”
“Then don’t stop,” he said. “I need you to cum one more time for me, I need to finish with you. Keep fucking yourself, hard, deep.”
Your body was like a raw nerve, everything heightened, but you listened, thrusting your fingers in and out of yourself, letting yourself moan and pant so that he could hear you. He did the same, the sound of his pleasure rough and demanding. You couldn’t help but imagine what it would feel like if it was you he was slamming into instead of his hand, how he’d stretch you, fill you.
“Din,” it was like you were having an out of body experience, there was too much pleasure in you for your mind to process as your second orgasm built. You were watching yourself standing at the edge of a cliff, desperately wanting to shove yourself over the side. “I’m about to… Fuck, Din, please…”
“Please what,” he swallowed, panting.
“Please cum,” you begged. “I can’t hold back, please…”
“Fuck, Cyare,” he moaned, his voice filling you as you came, hard, your body surrendering totally to it. He was breathless, gasping but satisfied. You went limp on the bed, your fingers still inside yourself, you didn’t have the energy to move them.
You both lay there, coming back down from your shared high while miles apart. You caught your breath, happy to just listen to him exist on the other end of the comm.
“Doll?” He said softly.
You paused. What did you even say now?
“Yes?”
“Be safe.”
