Noventa - A Star Wars Story

"You're approaching accuracy." He discerned some of their clothes would be an obstacle and decided to do something about it, with immediate implementation.

"You'll love it?" She murmured between kisses, "Revel in it? Reach a state of ecstatic bliss because of it?"

"Enjoy is too small a word." He lifted her against the wall as their mouths connected deeply again. Sunrays were selectively illuminating them in a latticework of light through the cracks in the structure.

She kissed back deeply and grinned. "You'll enjoy running into Runi in ruins?"

He turned her around in his arms and pressed her against the nearest ruined wall with his body, securing her weight an inch above ground to prevent her from tripping in the process. A passionate kiss followed, the amplified emotions given some release.

"What was that about Runi and ruins?"

"Mm... It would be up there," she agreed with a chuckle.

His lips aligned with the side of her neck, and soon produced a hickey in the cooler air, a soft purple mark on her carmine skin.

"It is up to me ingenuity to create incentives for you to stay with me for longer. How would making your sexual fantasies come true rank among them?"

She smiled and leaned her head back onto his shoulder. "Well, we won't have to for now, for sure."

He used her more contemplative moment to sidestep her end embrace her from behind, pressing their bodies together, blowing a kiss onto her nape. "Excellent. Parting with you is one of the worst possible outcomes I could imagine."

She thought about it and nodded. "Yeah... I think I will. That sounds like a good plan."

"Then we can get you this crystal elsewhere in the galaxy. Join my freighter crew and you'll have a relative freedom of search." He gestured toward the stars bleaking in the light of day.

"I still want to find a crystal. One that isn't influenced one way or the other," she said, following his gaze to look out. "I'm not... really committed to this place."

"On the other priorities, how committed are you to bind yourself to this planet?" He actually looked to the western horizon, where stars were still a bit visible. "Or rather, is there a place you'd like to go from here?"

"Mm... probably not, as much as I'd like to," she sighed as they head toward their destination. "Lots of other priorities."

"Do you want to start an archeological dig here?" He was serious, despite his lips and hands showcasing preference for a different endeavour.

She smiled at that and nuzzled into him briefly before turning toward the ruins. "Besides, old places like this are interesting. How people lived before us."

After a short climb, they found themselves among the lichen-covered skeletons of antiquated structures. Even though it was sundown and the landscape was tinged stark orange-red, a permanent shade seemed to linger among the ruins. Still, Sharn was more focused on her than on environs, the lenses of his cognition turning away from the macrocosm toward the binary microcosm of red, blue and all in between.

"Hence I render myself studious." He smirked, tracing with his finger along her triangular jawline.

She returned the kiss and followed, smiling. "Sure."

He couldn't resist kissing through the laugh, twining his fingers with her, and then pulling her up the slope. "Come educate me in your idea of fun then."

She laughed as he hearkened back to then. "Oh... I don't get scared easily, so I find dark, creepy things kind of fun."
