Aeris smiled and bit her lip gently when Jek licked his lips before kissing up her body until he was above her. She gave him a kiss in return before moaning softly as he nipped along her jaw, nibbling her ear before leaving his mark on her skin. As he moved to enter her, her hands roamed over his skin, as if to feel every part of him that she could, and her legs wrapped around his waist, her own moan echoing his. Every move he made inside of her brought her closer to the edge, slowly building as one hand massaged her breast, adding to the pleasure she felt. She pressed against him, as he brought them closer to the edge, until she was spiraling over the edge, his name on her lips as she reached her orgasm, feeling him follow after her.<br/><br/>As Jek stayed above her, she kissed his neck, tracing her hands softly across his skin, closing her eyes and basking in his presence. When he moved to lay on his side next to her, she turned so that she was lying on her side, facing him. She smiled lovingly as he kissed her cheek and then her knuckles. His love for her was evident and unmistakable, even without words, yet still, to hear it said aloud filled her heart with even more happiness, until it felt like it might burst. “I love you, too, Jek,” she told him softly, her own love for him written all over her face, lingering in her emerald eyes, permeating her very presence. She leaned in and kissed him softly, reaching out a hand to caress his cheek before moving to snuggle against him, where she was quite happy to stay for the rest of the night.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Aeris slept soundly for most of the night, but she had awoken at some point during the night after another dream, but she had managed not to wake him this time. This had not been a nightmare, nor a vision, but more like memories long forgotten, locked away somewhere in her mind had begun to resurface. She saw flashes of the four of them with another girl who seemed to be a year or two older than they were, getting into trouble, sparring, sitting around talking, trying to see who could lift a large boulder the highest, congratulating her when she was chosen to be a padawan, and rushing to greet her when she returned to visit them after a mission. Lastly, there was an oddly foggy memory of a Jedi speaking, a great sense of pain and loss, and then nothing at all.<br/><br/>She had laid awake quietly for a time, considering what she had seen, what it meant. She still couldn’t quiet place many details, as the memories had been flashes that almost seemed out of focus, as though something was still trying to obscure them. She still didn’t know her name or who exactly she was, but it was clear that she had been a Jedi once, and that she had meant something to them. Why none of them could recall who she was, though, was another mystery. She could guess that someone had forced them to forget, likely using the Force to lock their memories away, and it was reasonable to believe that it was the Jedi who were the culprits behind this, but the when and why continued to elude her.<br/><br/>Eventually, she had snuggled back up to Jek and fell back into a dreamless sleep. She hadn’t woken again until sometime after Jek had awoken. When she finally stirred, she opened her eyes, blinking several times to clear the sleep from her eyes. She smiled softly when Jek’s face became clear. “Good morning, love,” she said softly, smiling as she touched his face, once again feeling all the love he felt for her. It never ceased to amaze her just how much he loved her, how someone like him could love someone like her so much, how she could love him just as much, and how no matter how strong and deep their love for one another was, it always somehow managed to get strong and deeper.<br/><br/>She moved to snuggle into his chest just as she had the night before, kissing him softly. “Can we just cancel today?” she asked, repeating the question he had once asked her. She was quite content to stay right here with him. She had promised that she would discuss her vision from the previous day with him, as well as why this whole rescue mission bothered her, so she still intended to keep that promise. She also wished to discuss her dream from that night with them. That, however, did not require them to leave their quarters, or even to get out of bed, nor was there a rush to jump into such a discussion just yet.<br/><br/>------<br/><br/>Jax watched An-Lok’s expression carefully after he’d asked her what she wished to do, wondering how she was going to react. The giggle and grin she’d given him suggested some sort of mischief was about to occur, but that was par for the course, and didn’t give away what sort of mischief he should expect. He returned the kiss she gave him after she’d slowly climbed onto the bed. He gave no resistance when she pushed him onto his back, his hands resting comfortably on her hips when she straddled his hips. She proceeded to tease him, trapping him between them. He hung on her words, barely managing not to shiver beneath the light touch she traced across his skin.<br/><br/>When she gave him that mischievous smile, he knew she was up to something, but he had not expected her to say that she wanted to go to sleep. As she laid with her back against him, he pursed his lips slightly, struggling to resist the urge to do exactly what she expected. Instead, he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her neck. “If that’s what you really want,” he told her, knowing full well that it was not, “Then I will grant your wish,” he whispered in her ear, kissing it lightly. “But it isn’t what you want, is it,” he asked, kissing down her neck as he settled in, as if he would allow her to sleep if she wished.<br/><br/>He laughed lightly when An suddenly turned over and pounced him, knocking him back onto his back and straddling him. His hands slid up her sides as she kissed him and he kissed her back just as deeply. He grinned when she told him that she wanted him, calling him her prince, a title he was happy to accept. “Then you shall have me,” he told her before they were once again kissing. He moaned into her mouth as she took him inside of her, his hands roving across her soft skin as she slowly moved atop him, until they finally came to rest on her breasts. He massaged her flesh, gently pinching her nipples between his fingers. He held out only until she had reached her orgasm and he quickly followed, calling out her name as she called out his.<br/><br/>His hands moved across her sides and to her back as she moved atop him a few more times before she finally settled atop him. He traced his hands across her back, kissing her as she lowered herself. He wrapped his arms around her when she finally settled onto his chest. ‘I love you, too,” he told her, kissing the top of her head as he closed his eyes, smiling lightly, happy to stay right here for the rest of the night.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Jax awoke to feel An-Lok rolling off of him and off the bed. He rubbed his eyes, blinking as he woke fully and realized what had happened. He slowly climbed out of the bed and headed to the bathroom where he found An-Lok wiping at her mouth. “Here,” he held out a hand to help her stand up so that she could wash out her mouth. He rubbed her back in soothing circles as she did, wishing he could do more to help her. Once she had finished, he allowed her to finish up in the bathroom before he scooped her up and carried her back to the bed, setting her down and kissing her forehead.<br/><br/>“Do you want me to go get you something light to eat this morning?” he asked as he sat down next to her, rubbing her back. “Anything you might be in the mood for?” he asked as he always did, wanting to make sure she could eat whatever he brought. “I can get you something to drink besides water, too, if you’d like. Something to help with the taste,” he offered as he moved his hand to tuck some of her hair behind her ear. Once he had he answer, he kissed her cheek and stood to get dressed. Once he was dressed, he returned to her side and kissed her softly. “I’ll be back,” he told her before he left the room and headed to the mess hall.<br/><br/>Once in the mess hall, he chose something light and matching her preference for the morning, as well as picking out something for her to drink. He then returned to their quarters and placed the tray on the desk before slipping his boots back on and taking a seat. “Feeling any better?” he asked as he took his seat and gestured for her to come and sit in his lap to eat the food he had brought for her. He waited for her before he would eat his own food.
