Anakins/Vader POV
I held her face in my hands and continued kissing her softly; on her forehead, on each cheek, on her lips, on the tip of her nose, "I love you." I whispered when I brought my lips to hers again.

She smiled with a giggle, "I love you too Ani." Hearing her say it back always gave me a rush of emotions, how a woman like her loves me is not something I'll ever understand.

We just arrived in the hangar not too long ago and we both stayed behind on the ship so I could have a little moment, while the clones and Piett were standing out there waiting for me, "Go to my room and take R2 with you, I'll be there soon. I have something I have to do first." I caressed her cheek and kissed her one more time before she nodded and we exited the ship. I waited until she and R2 were no longer in the hangar, before turning my attention to the seven men, "Good to see you alive Piett."

He nodded with a small smile, "Thank you my lord."

"I'm going to need you to call a clean up." I instructed him. His brows furrowed in confusion before he looked to the clones, then it clicked.

His face fell slightly, but he nodded respectfully to me again, "Of course sir." He stepped away from the clones and came to my side.

"Men," I addressed them as they all stood in a lined formation, "You've been valiant soldiers, but you've seen things that weren't meant to be seen." I took my lightsaber out and they all looked at it with fear, "This is nothing personal." I shrugged as I swung a few times and killed all six of them. Their cries bounced on the walls creating an echo of death. I retracted my blade and put it on my belt, "Get their numbers down and get them cleaned up, I don't want Tarkin asking questions." I handed him his communicator that I had found on the floor in here, not long after I woke up from the Bacta tank.

"Yes sir." He grabbed onto it and I could hear him placing the call, "It's all ready sir they're on their way."

"Good," I responded as I began to walk away but I stopped with my back to him, "Piett, I haven't killed you because I happen to like you and so does (y/n). But make no mistake, if you tell anyone what has transpired today, I won't hesitate to." I told him without turning around to face him.

"You don't have to worry about me my lord, I will never go against you."

I half-smiled, "Good and no one knows you were taken by the way. They think you went with me in search of the base. Keep it that way." I didn't give him much time to respond and I exited the hangar to go see her.

(y/n)'s POV
"You're going to end up dead." He snapped as he stood up, "Maybe I was wrong. Maybe you won't do it because you know you can't. Maybe you're not as important to him as I thought."

Those words echoed in my brain constantly, they affected me more than I expected them to and I didn't know why. I was currently sitting on the bed with my crystal that was here on his nightstand. I was twirling it in my fingers, lost in my mind. BB-4 and R2 were having a conversation over in the corner of the room. I can't tell what they're saying, but they sound like they're sassing each other. I chuckled at them.

Why did he have to say those things to me? Why did he have to make me question my importance? Not only that, but why did he have to make me question my future with Anakin? I avoided thinking about it, purposely. I knew I wouldn't have a normal future with him, I knew we wouldn't get married and live in a house with kids like I'd always dreamed I would have one day. It's not a realistic future for someone like him. And I always kept the thought away, always telling myself that the love I had for him was enough and that I didn't need all of that future crap. I sighed, if there was anyone that I would give that up for, it's him. I hardly see a future without him. So if I truly believe that, then why do I feel so sad?

"What are you thinking about that you don't want me to hear?" His voice filled the room, causing me to jump. I didn't even hear him come in.

I shook my head as I put the crystal in my pocket, I smiled up at him, "It's nothing."

He eyed me like he didn't believe me, but he respected my choice to keep my thoughts private, so he didn't press further, "So," He began as he walked toward me and sat on the bed next to me, "What happened while you were there?" He opened his arms and I accepted his invitation to lay on his chest. I sighed happily at the warm feeling of being close to him.

As I laid on his chest, I told him everything. Except for that one part that still lingers in my mind. But I even told him the story that Obi-Wan told me about Palpatine not allowing anyone to see him. I felt him stiffen slightly when I revealed it, but he never said anything more about it. Then I proceeded to tell him how I got out of there.

He chuckled, "You did the headbutt thing?"

I nodded as I sat up so I could look at him, "I'm tougher than I look and you're a great teacher." I smirked.

He grabbed my face with both of his hands, "Thats my girl." He smiled as he pressed his lips to mine and my favorite butterflies erupted in stomach, "I'm so glad you're okay." He whispered after breaking the kiss, "I thought I was going to go crazy, especially since I was in Bacta for twelve hours. I was scared that something had already happened to you."

I pulled myself away from him, "Why were you in Bacta?"

He sighed as he dropped his hands down, "Don't start freaking out," Oh I'm most likely going to freak out then, "They used Obi-Wan to distract me while they took you. But then I heard you call to me and when my attention was focused on you, Obi-Wan stabbed me through the stomach." He revealed and I felt my heart drop. I almost got him killed, he could have died and it would've been my fault.

I brought my hand to my mouth and started crying, "You almost died because of me." I spoke in between cries.

He pulled my hand away from my mouth and cupped my face again, "Hey stop crying please. You know I can't stand seeing you cry." He wiped my tears away from my cheeks as he spoke softly, "It's okay and I'm okay. I didn't even care, all I cared about was you and if you were gonna be safe. Never think you can't call to me, never. I'd risk it all for you." He pressed his lips to mine and this kiss had more passion that the other one. I brought my hands up and into his hair, "R2, BB-4," He spoke in between kisses, "Get out." He demanded as he waved his hand for the door to open. I chuckled as they beeped at us with their sass and left the room.

He closed the door and stood up to take off his cloak and shirt to reveal his toned chest. He eyed me with lust filled eyes as he dropped down and brought his lips back to mine. His hands roamed my body and he gripped my shirt to pull it over my head before bringing his lips back to mine, "I love you so much." He whispered as he pulled my bottoms off for me and lowered himself to begin placing kisses in between my thighs.

I rolled my head back at the tingling feeling, "Fuck I love you too." I moaned as he pushed my underwear aside and licked my clit.

"You're already so wet for me." He spoke in his authoritative tone that he knew I loved. He pulled my underwear completely off and grabbed my hips to place his face properly between my thighs. I laid back to enjoy the feeling of his tongue that was working it's magic. He stuck it inside of me and I whimpered as I grabbed onto his curls, "Does that feel good baby?" He asked before continuing to suck on my clit, sending shock waves of pleasure throughout my body.

"Yes." I responded breathlessly as I felt myself wanting to cum already. Only he has this power over me, no one can ever make me feel this good.

"Only I am ever allowed to touch you." He responded to my thoughts as he pushed two of his fingers in me. I moaned and gripped the bed at the intense feeling he was giving me, "Say it, say you belong to me and only me." He moved his fingers faster as he licked and sucked on my clit.

"I belong to you and only you." I moaned louder than I intended to. I felt myself getting even closer and it was becoming unbearable.

"Who?" He growled with lust.

"Darth Vader, fuck, I belong to Darth Vader." I cried in pleasure as he picked up his pace. I felt my orgasm hit me and I grabbed his hair while I screamed.

He took his fingers out of me and stood up; taking his pants off to reveal his hard dick, "Get on your hands and knees." He demanded. I did as he said and I felt him grab my hips to pull me closer to him, "I want you to scream as loud as you want. I want to know how good I make you feel." I felt his tip near my entrance and I already felt a tingle down there, it was begging for him.

I nodded, "Yes Master."

He plunged his whole cock into me and we both moaned together as he pushed fully in and I could feel his hips against me. He took no time for me to get used to it. He gripped me tightly and violently thrusted in and out of me. The sound of my ass smacking against him filled the room along with sounds of our grunts and moans, "Does that feel good baby?" He asked between moans.

"Yes," I grunted in pleasure, "Go faster." I begged him.

He gripped me tighter and began thrusting into me faster and I let out screams as I felt myself wanting to climax again, "Not yet." He stopped and pulled himself out of me, "Turn around." He demanded and I did as he said with no questions, "Open your legs."

I opened them wide and he smirked as he got on top of me and pushed himself back into me again, "Fuck yes." My eyes rolled to the back of my head, I loved how he felt in me. It's when we're like this, where I feel the most complete.

His love has been the thing that I've been missing my whole life. He brought his lips to my neck and sucked at the skin as he pounded into me at a quick pace. My head hit against the headboard, but the pleasure balanced everything out. No way in hell was I asking him to stop.

"Fuck, you feel amazing," He moaned against my neck as he continued kissing me there, "You're my one and only (y/n). There will never be anyone else for me." If he wasn't fucking my brains out, I would've actually cried. The butterflies in my stomach intensified and his words alone caused my clit to throb. The emotional connection we had was overwhelming for me. I was so madly in love with this man.

"I feel the same way Ani." I responded as I wrapped my legs around his waist and I could feel myself getting close again.

"I'm going to cum baby." He informed me as he brought his head back up and pressed his lips to mine. His hair was matted to his forehead with sweat.

I tightened my legs around him, "Cum in me." I begged and he didn't question me. His thrusts quickened and the headboard was smacking against the wall, "Oh fuck, Anakin!" I moaned loudly as I finally came. He didn't say anything but he pressed his lips roughly to mine and he let out a deep moan which told me he was cumming as well. His thrusts began to slow and become more sloppy as he caught his breathe.

He stopped moving and pressed his forehead to mine, "I know I've said it hundreds time but I'll say it a hundred times more, I fucking love you."

"I fucking love you too."

Anakin's/Vader's POV
I saw her shiver slightly in her sleep so I tucked the blanket over her to keep her warm. I gently kissed her forehead before quietly getting off of the bed to leave the room, "R2, keep security measures on until I return." I whispered to him and he beeped in low tone to not create any sudden noise that will wake her. He quickly turned them on and his security lights filled the room.

I made sure to wrap myself in my robe before exiting to get to my office. I have to call the Emperor. I've been neglecting his calls all day, mostly because I was afraid. Not only that, but after what (y/n) told me about what Obi-Wan said, I was questioning so many things. But then again, I can't just believe anything that comes out of Obi-Wan's mouth, he could have easily been lying to her. It definitely wouldn't be the first time he's lied..

I reached my office and turned the light on as I walked over to the holotable. I sighed heavily as I placed the call and waited for a response, "Lord Vader," He addressed me when his image appeared, "Nice to see you've finally made the time for me." He spoke in a low menacing tone.

I bent down on one knee, "I apologize Master."

He shook his head at me, "Thats twice now that you've been on the brink of death, my young apprentice. I'm starting to believe that you are unfit for your role." He snapped.

I balled my hands into fists, "I assure you Master, I am fit for the title that you have given me."

He chuckled darkly, "Admiral Tarkin seems to believe you are unfit as well. He thinks you're becoming weak."

I scoffed with an eye roll, I fucking hate that man, "That isn't true Master, what can I do to prove myself to you?" I looked up to him.

He smiled a sadistic grin, "Oh Lord Vader I do care for you deeply," Sure you do.. "So of course I will give you the chance to redeem yourself." He gave me a nod which usually indicted that I may stand.

I stood up and he glared into my eyes, "Whatever you request of me, I will do without hesitation."

"Good," He continued to smile wickedly, "There is a certain Senator that has risen from the shadows and has been publicly speaking out against the Empire. Rumor has it, she is in league with the rebels, that she is a leader among them. I want you to get anything you can out of her, then kill her."

I nodded quickly, "Consider it done. Who is she?"

"An old friend of yours," He chuckled menacingly, "Miss Padme Amidala."

(a/n just a reminder that Anakin and Padme were NOT romantically involved in this reality.)
