It was almost four in the morning and I was still wide awake. I knew very well I wasn't going to get any sleep tonight, but there was one benefit to that.

I was laying in Anakin's large King size bed with his arms wrapped around me as he slept, quietly. It took him awhile to sleep as well, and he hadn't said much when we laid down, he just stared up at the ceiling in silence.

I knew it was because he was thinking about what had happened with Clovis. I made a horrible situation even worse and it surprises me that he was as calm with me as he was. I don't know what reaction I was expecting, but calm definitely wasn't it.

I turned my head to look at his sleeping face and breathed a sigh, "What's wrong?" He asked in a tired voice as he slowly opened his eyes, locking them with mine.

His response took me by surprise, "Oh, I thought you were sleeping." I whispered.

He sighed as well and sunk his head deeper into his pillow, "No, I almost never sleep, something is always on my mind," His voice was low and sad, and it hurt to know that the way his life is is what's causing this ache within him, "And you didn't answer my question, what's wrong?"

I breathed a dry chuckle that wasn't a humorous laugh, it was a laugh one gives when they are minutes from losing their mind, "Do you really need to ask?"

He half-smiled before leaning forward and kissing my forehead gently, making my heart race, "Yeah I guess it was a stupid question," He brought his head back once more so our eyes could meet, "I know you feel guilty; taking a life isn't an easy burden no matter how shitty of a person they are. But you did the right thing by Ahsoka, she could have died if you didn't react. And I will always be in your debt for that." As he spoke, he brushed his fingertips along my cheek, doting upon me in a time that it's needed.

"I didn't mean to kill him though. I-"

He cut me off by pressing a soft kiss on my lips, but it only lasted for a moment before we parted, "You did the right thing." He laid his palm against my cheek, a gentle gaze in his eyes, "Say it, say 'I did the right thing,'" He whispered as he rubbed his thumb against the skin under my eye, "Please."

With a tight feeling in my chest, I mumbled, "I did the right thing." Saying it out loud this way was actually more comforting than I thought it would be. He did have a point too, it was Clovis or Ahsoka, and the choice was obvious.

He smiled, kissing my forehead once more, "Nothing that happened tonight is on you, okay?"

I breathed a sigh of content, "Okay."

"Come here," He grabbed me and pulled me on top of him so I was straddling his waist, "I love you." He reached up and held my face in his palms before bringing our lips close together.

"I love you too," I said as his crystal eyes made my heart melt.

He pulled our lips together and this kiss felt like our very first one. Full of love and devotion, I had only wished that it lasted longer, "Try not to worry, everything is going to be gone and I would never let anything to you."

I nodded as I pressed our foreheads together, "I'd never let anything happen to you either Anakin."

He smiled as he caressed my cheek, "And I know you have a lot of questions, and I promise you I'll answer them. But when the time is right."

I furrowed my brows, "What marks the right time?"

"When the storm passes." He said in a whisper before closing the distance between our lips once again.

I awoke the next morning to the sound of a phone ringing and judging by the ringtone, it was Anakin's phone, not mine, "Hello?" He finally answered after a few rings in a groggy tone.

I kept my eyes closed and pretended to still be asleep.

I felt him sit up, "No sir, I haven't heard from him." He said and my heart dropped into my stomach, this had to be his boss, and it seems he's looking for the son I killed, "Yes he was there last night, but he left with his friends around midnight." He lied so effortlessly, but I know his heart was beating heavy in his chest.

Silence filled the room and I could hear Palpatine mumbling on the other side of the phone, but I wasn't able to hear exactly what was being said.

"Yes, I'll tell him to call you if I see him tonight. I'm sure he'll show up, he's been drinking the bar dry almost every night this past week." He truly was a fantastic liar. If I didn't know what had happened last night, then even I would have believed him, "Yes sir, bye." He hung up the phone and laid back down while breathing a sigh and snuggling close to me, "I know you're awake (y/n)."

Knowing there was no point in faking it now, I opened my eyes. He was laying next to me on his side, facing me, "I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to eavesdrop. I promise I didn't hear anything."

"It's fine, it was nothing important," He rested his palm on my cheek and used his thumb to stroke me gently, "Did you sleep okay?"

I slowly nodded, "Did you?"

He shrugged one shoulder, "Better than usual with someone as beautiful as you by my side."

I chuckled as I rolled my eyes, "You're such a sap." I joked, but in all honesty, I liked it. I enjoyed being doted upon and told sweet things like this, it's not something I'm used to. Not that Connor was a bad husband or anything, he just wasn't the affectionate type the majority of the time. He was one of those guys that believed showing too much emotion made them appear weak.

"Oh yeah?" He rolled over until he was on top of me with his necklace dangling over my face, "I think you love it when I compliment you," He lowered his face down before pressing his lips to my neck, lathering my skin in goosebumps in a matter of seconds.

I breathed a moan as I closed my eyes. I had a gut feeling he was starting this to simply distract himself from the stressful situation at hand, but I also knew he deeply loved me so I didn't mind being his distraction.

—SMUT—

"You do love it, don't you?" He whispered close to my ear before nibbling on my earlobe, his hand gliding down to the shorts I was wearing and slipping through the waistband.

"Yes," I moaned and arched my back as his fingers brushed against my clit momentarily before entering me.

He moved slowly and curved his fingers to shoot a wave of pleasure throughout my body, making me moan louder, "I love the sounds you make, can you be louder for me?" He picked up his momentum and I gave him exactly what he wanted as I squirmed under him — a moaning mess, "Good girl." He mumbled before sucking on the skin on my neck that I have no doubt is covered in hickeys by now. Normally I hate hickeys, but with him, it's like I wanted people to know I was his.

"Anakin," I whimpered as I grabbed the bed sheets and squeezed the fabric tight.

"Tell me what you want," He trailed kisses down my neck and stopped where my shirt started, "Tell me what you want me to do to you (y/n)." He removed his fingers from inside of me, just so he could rub his erection against me.

"Oh god," I moaned, squeezing the sheets tighter, "Put it in, please." I begged, unable to say any other words since my mind was growing fuzzy with ecstasy.

"More," He demanded as he brought his hand up and gripped my jaw, rubbing against me harder, "I want you to beg more."

"Anakin please. I want to feel you inside of me," I almost had tears in my eyes, never have I ever wanted anyone so bad in my life. It was like he put me in a spell, or maybe even a curse that has caused me to crave a forbidden love that would potentially destroy me and everything I hold dear in my life.

He lifted his head up and smiled at me. He tightened his hold on my jaw and raised his body up, pushing me deeper into the pillow, "First, tell me that I'm the only one you love."

"You're the only one I love," I said without hesitation. My love for Connor died when he betrayed me, "The only one I want to love." I added, hoping he could see it in my eyes that I was speaking the truth.

His dominant demeanor softened temporarily, "You are the only one I have ever fallen this deeply in love with, maybe the only one I have ever truly loved. I would do anything for you, I would die for you." He crashed our lips together and kissed me with enough passion to set my heart on fire. It blazed in my chest, burning with the deepest form of love and desire.

The tears that were already in my eyes, slipped down my cheeks as I kissed him back.

Don't ever die for me. It would kill me to ever see anything happen to him. I would go to the ends of the earth to protect him — even from Obi-Wan.

I wrapped my arms around him and used this kiss to show him that I feel the same way. That I too love and would die for him, but I just pray that the outcome of this won't lead us to that.

The kiss intensified and both of us moaned into it as he rubbed his hard dick against my clit, and it only took him seconds to remove his boxers and the basketball shorts that he lent me. He rubbed his bare erection up and down clit, stimulating it to give me waves of intense pleasure, before he brought it to the hole and slowly inched himself inside — all without ever breaking our kiss.

I moaned in both pain and pleasure as I dug my nails into his back, he was huge and it hurt just as much as the first time last night, "You can take it baby," He mumbled as he broke the kiss and placed his forehead against mine, our eyes locking. He continued to go slow and watched my face for my reactions, "You're doing so well, it's almost all the way in. Can you be a good girl and take it all?"

I whimpered, "Yes."

There was maybe an inch or two left, and he pushed it all the way in making me yell as I threw my head back into the pillow, "You look so beautiful taking my cock baby, so beautiful." He started to move in and out of me at a faster pace once he saw the pained expression leave my face, replaced by pleasure.

I moaned loud as he thrusted into me hard and fast, his right hand still gripping my jaw as the other rested on the mattress next to my face. His necklace dangled in front of me and grazed against my cheek, so he used his tongue to place the charm between his lips without ever stopping his momentum.

The headboard continuously smacked against the wall with every thrust and both of our moans—his being muffled by his necklace—filled the room. I worried that we would be heard by his sister or Piett, but the pleasure was too overwhelming to actually care. So I was as loud as I wanted to be, and the louder I got the harder he went like it was a challenge for him.

His bare chest grew sweaty and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead and hair, landing on my shirt that he quickly lifted up to expose my chest. His eyes scanned over my breasts and he started to thrust even harder, while tilting his head back, his eyes closing in bliss. His Adam's apple stuck out and bobbed up and down with his stifled moans of ecstasy.

I felt a build up inside of me and it came quicker than any orgasm I have ever had. I didn't even have time to let him know it was coming before I screamed and arched my back, closing my eyes, "Anakin!" The pleasure circulated my body, making me grow numb as my legs grew weak. They felt like jelly and I knew that if I tried to walk, I would fail miserably.

He looked down at me and spit out his necklace, "I can feel your pussy trembling, fuck," He fucked me harder and I could feel my legs shaking as I screamed in bliss. His own moans grew louder as well as his face twisted into a deep euphoric expression, "I'm gonna cum baby," The headboard slammed harder into the wall the faster he went, and seconds later he pulled himself out before cumming on my stomach and breasts. He touched himself as he did and held his head back as he moaned my name, "Fuck (y/n), oh fuck." He whimpered.

I caught my breath, and Anakin dropped down next to me. He used an old shirt that was in his nightstand to wipe his cum off of my body before he tossed it to the floor and pulled me close, "You're amazing." I said while panting.

—SMUT ENDS—

He wrapped his arms around me tighter, "As are you baby. What do you say we get dressed and I take you out for some breakfast?" He kissed my neck gently.

"That sounds nice, but I don't have any clothes," I refuse to go to breakfast with someone that looked like him in ragged clothes, I'll look like a homeless person that he decided to give charity to.

"We can stop at your apartment first," He suggested, "Maybe fuck in your bed too."

I chuckled as I buried my face in his hair that smelt of vanilla and cinnamon. It was a comforting smell that oddly brought peace to my heart, "How could I say no to you?"

"You can't," He teased, "But let's please stay like this for at least fifteen more minutes. I love holding you."

I closed my eyes, wishing we could stay like this forever with every problem in our lives becoming nonexistent.
