My foray into the E/C 'verse. Thanks to JediMara77 and ginchy for letting me play in the sandbox for a minute.

Enjoy.

“Secret Gardening”

by taramidala

“What did I say about 'no questions'?” Luke asked jovially, eyes staring out at the traffic lanes ahead of them.

“Luke, you sneaked me past Br'aad, we've ditched the security detail, and I'm blindfolded. You're getting questions.” He could feel her mock frustration over their bond as she pouted playfully from the passenger seat of their private speeder. He'd arrived at her office and requested ninety minutes of her time, much to the chagrin of her staff and security officers.

He reached over and grabbed her hand, pressing a firm kiss to her fingers. “Just a bit longer. We're nearly there. Indulge me?”

She pursed her lips and sighed. She couldn't deny him anything. As she'd told her staff, if the Consort needed her, the rest of the galaxy would have to wait and that was the end of the discussion. “You've got five minutes, Skywalker,” she warned with a grin.

“Don't worry, my love. We won't need that long.”

Mara trembled as Luke's gentle hands removed the blindfold from her eyes to reveal a wide open greenspace of trees, flowers, and fountains. The rustle of the leaves and rush of the water filled her with an instant sensation of peace. “Oh, stars, Luke. What is this place?” she asked with wonder. Never in all her years of growing up on Coruscant had she seen anything like this. She walked along the stone-cut pathway to a cluster of trees with large white blooms.

“Welcome to the Jedi Temple's new meditation garden.”

“Did you find it this way?” Reaching up to pluck a bud from a low-lying branch, she twirled the petals between her fingers and inhaled their sweet, crisp scent.

“No. It's...probably a little silly, but after I found it I knew its restoration had to be completed first. I thought it would be nice to have a place we could go to that's private, outdoors. Of course that will change once I start moving apprentices in here, but for now, it's all ours.”

Her heart clenched at the sweetness of his gift. He never ceased to amaze her with his thoughtfulness and love, and once more she thanked the twists of fate and the Force that led her to him. “Thank you. It's beautiful.”

Standing there framed by the lillia tree in the afternoon light, in her crimson court dress and her hair hanging loose around her face, he couldn’t deny the wonder of the woman before him. She was everything to him; that would never change. Beautiful, intelligent, strong, weak, giving, caring, passionate…by the Force, he adored her.

Luke embraced her from behind. “You're working so hard to make things right again. I wouldn't be doing any of this without your help,” he told her, his voice a soft, low rumble from his throat. He pulled her around to face him and held her tightly against his body. “I love you, Mara. So very much.”

He caught her smile as he brushed her mouth and traced soft kisses over her face, unable to hold back another minute. As he neared her lips, she and pulled back slightly and fixed him with narrowed eyes. .“You know, as your Empress, I could have ordered you to take me here ages ago if I'd known you were working on this,” she teased.

Luke grinned in response and drew her closer. “You could have. But you didn't. I wonder why,” he murmured against her lips.

Mara wrapped her arms around his neck. “Must have slipped my mind.”

“I can't imagine how that could be.” He kissed her long and hard. He ran his hands from her waist, pawing at her gown's soft fabric as he went, his fingers creating electric sensations in both their bodies. He removed his mouth from hers and started trailing his lips down the side of her face, to her neck and finally her shoulder.

“We shouldn't,” Mara moaned weakly, as he started to walk her backwards to a nearby bench. As they sat, she pressed her hand to his lips in hopes of stalling him. “Not here.”

Luke grinned and kissed her palm. “Yes, here.” He delighted in her shiver as he licked a trail up her neck to her ear.

“But your workers?” she whimpered as he began to blow on the wet spot his tongue left behind.

“Should be in another area of the temple,” he groaned as her body pressed closer to him. “But in case they aren't, what's to worry about? We're just sitting here, enjoying the peace of our garden. Anything else will have to be done real quiet-like.”

Suddenly his mouth was in and all around her sensitive earlobe; he alternated between tongue movements, hot breaths, and nips of teeth, and Mara felt an erotic pulse all the way through her body. As she realized that Luke's definition of “quiet-like” was to work her ear the way he normally worked her clit, with a series of frantic taps and slow licks of his tongue, her desire spiked tenfold.

Moaning softly, she clutched at his hand that was grasping her breast through her gown and dragged their intertwined fingers down until they reached the apex of her thighs. She lifted herself off the bench ever so slightly and rested their conjoined hands right where she needed them the most; Luke flexed his hand in response and gave her some of the friction she craved. He bit down hard on her earlobe and she clenched her legs around their fists and began to rock herself back and forth with increased intensity. They both felt a dampening around their hands as Mara continued to ride them through her dress as Luke continued his assault on her ear. Her moans of pleasure sent shockwaves straight to his cock, but he ignored it for the moment, her bliss being his sole focus.

But Mara was so close that when Luke let out a groan she tumbled over the edge. Her free hand went to her mouth and bit her fingers hard to stop from screaming as she came. For a moment she feared she would topple backwards off the bench, but Luke was there, as always, to catch her.

As her breathing slowed, Luke slid his hand out from underneath her and let it roam tenderly over her still trembling body. His lips brushed against hers in a sipping kiss and he sat there holding her quietly.

Until the next thing he knew he was being straddled by his gorgeous lover who was frantically clawing at him. Her desperate and determined hands brushed against his cock as it was freed from his pants and undershorts and he bit back a gasp of pleasure as her intentions became clear.

“What about the rest of your schedule?” he smirked as she settled onto her knees above him, adjusting her skirt around their bare parts. His cock strained upwards to meet her and he realized...she'd been naked under that dress. Oh, you little minx, he thought.

Framed by the late-day sun, Mara's grin glowed. “At this moment, my Consort trumps my duties. You. Inside me. Now.”

"Say please, Mara."


"Please."

And there in the tranquility of the meditation garden, the Empress and her Consort passed the rest of the day.

That was so HOT! Perfect blend of sweetness and naughtiness! I loved the position at the end with her dress covering them.

I've always imagined the Jedi Temple, at least under Luke's Order - should have a huge, peaceful garden! At first, when I reda the title, I imagined a more metaphoric use of the word LOL - but I got both!!! *G*

And pantless Emperess - wow - love that!!!

How did I just see this?! I heart, heart, heart this. They're so sweet and sexy and if I knew them I'd probably hate them b/c they're so great. :)

The smut was fantabulous and this line made my stomach flip-flop: Luke embraced her from behind. “You're working so hard to make things right again. I wouldn't be doing any of this without your help,” he told her, his voice a soft, low rumble from his throat. He pulled her around to face him and held her tightly against his body. “I love you, Mara. So very much.”
