It was a late night on Odessen. Lana was just finishing up reading a report on the latest missions when she heard a knock on her door. Feeling a familiar presence in the force just on the other side of the wall, she immediately knew who had decided to visit her at this late hour.
Lana felt her heart skip a beat and a slight smile form on her face at the thought of the blond woman. The Sith Lord got up and opened the door.
And there she was.
A tan woman with her blond hair always up in a fancy bun and two loose strands of hair on each side of her face. And those absolutely gorgeous deep blue eyes looking directly at her. Her hourglass silhouette was covered with a black robe with golden accents and armor on her chest, which was definitely not one of the things she would have worn a couple of years ago when they first met on Makeb. She used to wear light tones. Mainly white and lots of gold accents. No major or visible armor. Just her Jedi robes, which weren't at all that typical for a common Jedi because she wore a lot of skin tight ones instead of the baggy and brown robes the whole order seemed to favor. But times change, and she definitely wasn’t the same person she was all those years ago.
They’ve been through so much, so how could’ve she stayed unaffected?
So much has happened, and even though she didn’t want to express it directly or say anything about it, Lana and anybody close to the Jedi who really knew her could see the change and how much everything that has happened since her alleged death has had a deep effect on her. Even though she wouldn’t admit it.
Once an honored and decorated Jedi, fighting for the Republic, believing in the system and that it truly helps those in need, now a Jedi, burdened and betrayed by those whom she gave everything she had in her to ensure their safety.
She was willing to sacrifice herself if it meant giving the people in need and the Republic their best chance. But when the time came, the Republic didn’t stand with her.
They simply abandoned her after everything she had done for them.
Left her for dead.
No one could stay unaffected after everything she’s been through.
The Jedi was standing there with a slight smile on her face, which was everything to Lana. But she would never say it out loud to anyone. All the feelings she had towards the Jedi had to stay unspoken. What would even people say when they found out.
A Jedi? And a Sith?
Nonsense .
“Well hello” Lana said, a little surprised with the unannounced visit from her commander “Is everything okay?”
“Yes” Zu’lara answered “Everything is fine” She added quickly. Lana could sense that her friend was a little nervous. There were a couple seconds of silence before the Jedi spoke up once again “M-may I come in?” Zu’lara stuttered a little, which was out of the ordinary. The Jedi consular was known for her perfect speeches and always knowing what to say with perfect diction.
Lana nodded and moved to the side, making room for her friend to come in.
Now the Sith Lord was also beginning to feel slightly nervous.
There they were.
In a room.
Just the two of them.
Late night, where no one would bother them.
And the tension between them, which was there ever since they met, rose.
Lana quickly got rid of those thoughts. Nothing could ever happen between them. She knew that painfully well.
“I don’t think I’ve ever been in your room” The tall woman said, letting go of a little chuckle and looking around “It’s very… you” Zu’lara turned around to face Lana and send her a smile.
Lana let out a small laugh at the comment.
“Was that your whole purpose of this visit?” Lana also smiled at her.
“ Obviously not” the Jedi shook her head in amusement. Zu’lara slowly took a couple steps toward Lana “I’ve had something else in mind coming here…”
“Oh? Is that true… “ Lana said a little quieter than she normally would, because of this absolutely beautiful woman getting closer and closer and looking at Lana like that with those deep blue eyes. She started to lose her cool.
“It is” suddenly the Jedi and Sith were so close to each other. Only a single step was between them, which caused Lana to hold her breath unintentionally. And then those stunning blue eyes for only just a second shifted and weren’t looking into her yellow eyes but at the Sith’s lips. But it was brief because she immediately turned her gaze back to Lana’s eyes.
She was definitely imagining this, right?
Lana could feel her heart beat faster. She wanted this to be real so badly. She couldn’t even start to begin to describe how much she thought about this before and for how long she wished something would happen between them.
And now Zu’lara was right there, sending her all those signals.
The most perfect woman Lana had ever seen. Here. And finally wanting the same thing as her.
Lana Beniko didn’t even realize that she was standing against a wall until she felt the cold metal against her back.
The Jedi took one more step, closing the distance between them. They were so close to each other. Their bodies practically pressing into one another and their breaths, which they could feel on each other's cheeks.
Zu’lara came a little closer and whispered in the other woman's ear “If you don’t want this, just say so and I will go…”
“No” Lana whispered back “Don’t you dare go anywhere” Zu’lara quietly laughed at the response.
“Okay” the blond moved away from her ear so she could look right into Lana’s eyes with their noses touching “Then I’m not going anywhere”
They stood there a while, toying with each other at the very real possibility of them joining in a kiss. Noses touching, and their lips basically connected because they were so close.
Yet for a while nothing happened.
Then Lana put her hands on the woman’s slim waist and moved her face closer, intertwining their lips in a small kiss, which then became more and more passionate. Zu’lara’s hands, first on the side of Lana’s body leaned back on the wall, now finding their way to her face, delicately stroking the Sith’s cheeks.
Lana moved her hands up the Jedi’s body. Then she quickly found the tie that was keeping her hair up and as gently as she could, she took it off, setting the consulars hair loose.
Lana had always wanted to see the Jedi with her hair down.
Which she didn’t actually see at the moment because the two women were busy making out, but Lana could feel Zu’lara smiling under her lips.
Lana’s hands ran loose over the Jedi’s body, examining her curves as best as she could at the moment. She had always dreamed how the commander's body would feel pressed against hers. To touch her perfect body, her face, her hair, her waist and stomach, thighs, her breasts and bum… and there she was with the woman all to herself.
She was perfect.
Zu’lara’s hands went down from Lana's face to her waist, and then she got started on working on getting the Sith's belt and her black robes off. Lana didn’t waste time either and started disrobing the Jedi herself. Soon pieces of armor have found their place on the ground around the two women. After that, various robes made their way to the floor and other furniture as the two women made their way towards the bed.
Lana spun them around, sitting herself on the bed, and then Zu’lara taking her place and the Sith’s lap. Both of them only in their basics, skin next to skin, a tremendous heat forming between them.
They started kissing again, touching each other passionately. Both of them were waiting for this moment for such a long time.
The Jedi pushed the other women so now she was laying on the bed, while Zu’lara moved herself to sit on her hips and slowly removed the rest of her basics. Now the blond was there completely naked with a smile on her face, watching Lana’s reaction.
The Sith felt a familiar pressure forming in her lower abdomen as she inspected every little detail of the commander's body.
Lana resting on her elbows, admired the blond beauty sitting on top of her. Zu'lara then started getting rid of the women's basics as well.
Slowly.
Maintaining eye contact.
First, she took off the only fabric covering Lana’s breasts. Zu'lara placed a little kiss between them and then got to taking the remaining basics off. She began making her way back up from the Sith's legs, placing kisses all the way from her inner thighs, but teasingly avoided her clit and just brushed her nose gently against it, afterwards placing a kiss above and making her way towards her breasts and neck. Lana, meanwhile, couldn't keep her hands off the woman's body. She kept them wandering from her behind to her breasts, legs and hair.
The Jedi’s fingers teased her entrance for a while, after which she slid them in, in return receiving a moan from the Stih. With confidence, she started to repeat the movements, making Lana even wetter than she already was, riding Zu’lara’s hand, as she never thought she would get to experience this with the woman she loved.
Then a gasp came out of Lana as she came with Zu’lara’s name on her lips. The Jedi smiled with satisfaction and kissed her, knowing she achieved what she came here to do.
“I never thought… “ Lana started breathing heavily as the woman kissed her once again and then laid right next to Lana “You-”
“I love you, Lana Beniko” Zu’lara interrupted quickly, wanting the other woman to know how she felt about her “I always did. Ever since Makeb you were on my mind. Before, I thought I had everything, my life seemed full…” Zu’lara turned to face her love and placed her hand on Lana’s cheek lovingly “But then you came and I never thought someone could make me feel things like this” She smiled warmly and Lana couldn’t believe that the Jedi was actually saying all these things to her “I want to spend the rest of my time next to you. That is… If you are willing?”
Lana was speechless.
Everything she could have hoped for.
Right here and now.
“Yes…” a soft smile appeared on Lana’s face as she kissed the blond “I love you, Zu’lara… Ever since on Makeb I heard your voice”
This is all she ever wanted.
A dream come true…
***
There was a slight knock.
Unbothered by it, she tried to get back to the lovely encounter she just had with the beautiful Jedi.
When knocking didn’t seem to be working, the person started banging.
“Lana!” a male voice could be heard from the other side of the door, completely ruining the vision of the naked blond in Lana’s embrace “You’re going to be late for the meeting! Commander’s not going to wait forever, you know!” Theron exclaimed annoyed, and then left.
It was a dream…
Just a dream and nothing else.
The harsh reality began to hit the Sith as she realized that the exhilarating time she thought she shared with her love was nothing more than a cruel joke of her mind.
Deep down, she knew that it could never happen between them, especially with her lost husband still in her mind every second of every day since Lana had saved her from the cruel fate of being imprisoned by Arcann.
Still… she wanted to believe so much it was true.
Remembering Theron's words, she quickly got ready and left for the briefing room, where the meeting was supposed to happen. And for which she was terribly late now.
“Lana!” she heard a beautiful voice call her name “I was starting to think you weren’t going to show up”
There she was, the most incredible woman in the entire galaxy. With her blond hair in a fancy bun and wearing those black robes with golden accents and armor she got not so long ago.
Her brows wrinkled slightly as her deep blue eyes scanned the Siths face.
“Are you alright?” The Jedi asked, worrying about her dear friend.
“Yes, most definitely” Lana answered quickly, trying not to think too much of the totally not appropriate dream she had last night with her and the Jedi as the main characters “Shall we begin?”
Zu’lara just for a second stared at Lana, knowing that something was off. Noticing she probably wouldn’t get much out of the Sith she nodded.
“Let’s get started then… What’s on the agenda today, Lana?”
The meeting went on, but Lana Beniko’s mind kept drifting off.
That could never happen. It hurt knowing her love would stay unreciprocated. Even if there was a chance that this Jedi consular had the same romantic feeling as she did, she still had a husband that could come back home to her any day now, leaving Lana on the side while the love of her life was with another person.
Maybe in another life they could be together…
