Love Story

[Anastasia Rade]

Ana had been reluctant to leave Endor as it was not only was a beautiful planet but she had wonderful company. Ice was an amazing man and they had a wonderful weeks together exploring not only the planet but each other as well. She had learned much about him in such a small amount of time and was growing more fond of him as time went on. Ana deeply cared about him and she could tell by his actions that he felt similar.

The two thus far had a whirlwind relationship full of many different emotions and feelings. It was a thrilling and Ana wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Ice was special, no other made her feel the way he did. She cherished the time that they spent together. Ana was beginning to get used to having him by her side always and waking up to him. It was quite lovely and the young woman caught herself thinking what it would be like to have him always by her side.

Even though the two had left Endor it didn't mean they were parting ways. Ice had instead invited her to Libertalia to see the place he called home. Ana of course was thrilled and readily accepted the opportunity to spend more time with him especially at the space station he basically created.

She had been to space stations before but nothing as luxurious as this. It was a world all of its own and even though she had only been there a sort time Ana could see why people came here. If the villas were anything like what she had seen thus far she understood why people stayed here. Perhaps she would look into getting one herself.

Ana had grabbed herself a brochure to see all what was here. There was much more to do here than she expected and she wasn't sure what to go see first. The idea of a massage sounded really nice too. Glancing to Ice she lightly squeezed his hand giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Could you give me the grand tour, cyar'ika?" This was his brain child as such there was nobody better to get a tour by. Ana had a feeling he would jump at the opportunity to show her away.

A smirk flashed across his face. He rather enjoyed when she spoke a bit of Mandoa to him. He hadn't gotten to hear the language much at all for many years. But now that she was with him, it was becoming second nature once again. "But of course, nadala kebise." He said simply with a smile and a wink after she kissed him. "First, let's get your stuff put away." They had just arrived and it was still morning. Good time to get started. Hopping into a nearby speeder, he whisked her away toward his home. "Once we get you "checked in", then I'll take you to our first stop." He gave her a playful smirk, and once their bags were secured, he sped them off to his home. The speeder didn't head to the main turbolifts that everyone else went to. No instead, it went off toward a closed off area. A wall actually moved out of the way to allow for his speeder. At the turbolift, he placed his hand on a scanner, punched in a 15 digit code, then placed in and turned a key. "Sorry." He said with a shrug. "I have made a living off espionage and high tech gear. As such, the security tends to be a bit extreme."

They quickly shot upward toward the top of the station. As the door to the turbolift opened up, Ana would see a large pristine circular room. Honestly it looked like it belonged in one of those design magazines for interior decor. The walls were lined with windows almost all the way around to be able to take advantage of the amazing vistas that the "Four Lands" had to offer below. Directly in front of her was a large circular double staircase that led up to his main bedroom. On the floor in the center of the staircase was a beautiful water feature. Throughout the area, comfortable couches were arrange to provide a few sitting areas for guests. Directly behind the staircase, was the restroom to the left side, and the laundry room to the right. Beyond that though, and along the back side of the large circular expanse, was a large well stocked kitchen.

Ironically enough, he wasn't that big of a cook. But Ice like the look a well furnished kitchen offered. So anyone with any culinary expertise at all, would not only find it to be pleasing to the eye, but a dream to work in. On the outside of the windows that surround the room, was a wrap around balcony that like the windows, were able to take advantage of all the main biomes. Those being jungle, forest, desert, and snow. Stepping out of the turbolift himself, he set the bags aside and came up behind Ana. Wrapping his arms around her, he gave a tender kiss on her neck before resting his chin gently on her shoulder. "Welcome to your home while you are here." He said happily, hoping she liked what she saw. "Go on, take a look around. Make yourself at home." He then stepped back half a step so she could explore her new surroundings.

Ana followed along as he took her up a private turbolift. It didn't surprise her from everything she had heard about him thus far. In the galaxy that they lived in it was important to keep oneself safe. She couldn't blame him and what he had created for himself was quite beautiful. You made all of this?" She questioned as she took her first step into his home. His penthouse put her little cottage to shame.

She couldn't help but stop to stare at the gorgeous views that his windows displayed. Ana very much hoped that seeing these places were part of the tour. She had a feeling he had plans to take her everywhere while here. Pulling herself away for now she headed to the bedroom where she set her pack down.

"Thank you," she smiled pinning herself around to give him a quick kiss on the lips. Turning back around Ana went to go check out her her new "home" for the time being.

She couldn't help but look out the window which displayed snow before turning to his kitchen. It was lovely, a chefs delight and upon opening the fridge she saw it stocked with many goodies. Ana was already coming up with ideas as to what she could cook for him. There were many good options to chose from. "Do we have any dinner plans?" If they didn't she could season some meat before they left on their tour of the space station.

His place on its own made her feel underdressed. Ana had packed for Endor not a high class resort. She planned though to go to the market and remedy that too.

He gave a small nod and a proud smile. It was a bit on the fancy side, but he tended to do everything big. Go big or go home. That was his motto. Not that he had anything against smaller places of course. In fact he usually preferred them. But as he viewed this place sort of as a permanent vacation type place. Vacation homes were meant to be grand, spacious, perhaps a bit over the top. Either way, he still enjoyed it. And he hoped she would too.

He happily returned her kiss and just watched her quietly as she explored her new surroundings. It was funny, but after a time, she almost seemed uncomfortable. "Nope, no plans for dinner. We can do whatever you like. If you feel like going out, we certainly can. Or if you feel like staying in, that is easily accomplished as well. Why? You got something in mind?" He finished asking with a slight tilt of his head in her direction. "Also...is uh, is everything alright?" He hoped she wouldn't feel she was out of place here. But then he couldn't rule that possibility out entirely.

"Oh good," she grinned at him as she pulled out two steaks out of his freezer. Ana hadn't wanted to ruin any dinner plans of his by setting things up to cook later. She has glad he didn't because now she was able to utilize his fancy kitchen and impress him with her cooking skills. We can stay in and I'll cook us dinner. After a long day of playing tour guide it will be nice to just stay in and relax." Ana stated from the kitchen as she continued to prepare things.

She had never cooked for a man before. Sure there had been cookies, muffins and the like she had passed out but no formal dinner like this. Ana hoped that it went well and she didn't end up burning his place down or burning the steak.

As she placed her prepped items in the fridge she tilted her head slightly towards him. "Yes, why wouldn't they be?" She questioned walking towards him wrapping her arms around his waist. "I'm here on this beautiful space station with a man I'm crazy about whom I'm pretty sure is crazy for me. Everything is perfectly wonderful." She smiled leaning in for a kiss.

He smiled warmly her way as she seemed a bit more at ease in his home. Even going to so far as to start preparing food and utilizing his kitchen. "Good." He thought to himself. Aaden wanted her to feel as comfortable here as any other place she might call home. When he noticed what she had planned to make for their dinner, his mouth began to salivate. Endor was amazing, but camping rations were only appetizing for so long. It was going to be nice getting to enjoy a steak again.

"Hmm?" He asked at first, but then listened to the rest of what she had to say. A grin appeared tugging at the corner of his mouth when he leaned in to return her kiss. "Oh. It just seemed at first like you may have been feeling out of place, or uneasy about something. I was just curious." His arms wrapped around her as he kissed her forehead. "But anyway. So I figure as this will probably be more of a relaxing type trip as apposed to traipsing all over the place trying to stay alive." Aaden stopped there as he recalled their many adventures during the short trip for a moment with another smile. "We'll begin relaxing in style."

He gave her a wink and took her hand. "Is there anything else you need to do here? Or are you ready to go?"

It would be nice to just relax with him and not have to worry about being chased by dragons or wild beasts. Ana had a feeling this vacation was going to be more like one of those ones seen in those getaway brochures. From what she had seen thus far this space station of his was like a mini paradise.

"I may be a little underdressed in my camping gear but it doesn't matter. I'm here on a nice relaxing vacation with you." She smiled at him giving him a light kiss. "Dinner is all prepped and ready to go and I can make dessert when we get back. So, what's the first stop? Take me to the place you like the most."

She smiled slightly squeezing his hand. Ana was excited to see what he had in store for them. Exploring whatever those worlds were out the window or maybe just drinks by the pool and relaxing. Shopping would be fun but Ana wouldn't drag him along with her.

Aaden chuckled after getting another kiss. He really found he couldn't get enough of them. "Well it's not exactly the place I "like the most". But it seems like a good way for us to get relaxed." He didn't say anymore, and instead simply took her to where they were going. It didn't take them long. Aaden knew this place like the back of his hand. Not to mention he had short cuts that the guests couldn't take. As the arrived, Ana would see the sign out front for the Celestial Beauty and Health Spa. Walking in they were greeted by the hostess.

Hostess: Nadia Reza of the [SIZE=13.63636302948px]Celestial Beauty and Health Spa[/SIZE]

"Welcome Ana! Welcome Ice!" Cam her upbeat and cheery voice as she smiled widely at the couple. "Welcome to the [SIZE=13.63636302948px]Celestial Beauty and Health Spa." The woman walked around the corner and reached out to shake Ana's hand. "It's good to meet you. My name is Nadia and I'll be overseeing your time with us today. If you need anything at any time, please don't hesitate to ask." She said genuinely in a very happy tone. "Well, I don't know what Ice has told you yet. But we have a surprise for you. Please, come right this way." Nadia then turned and led Ana toward a room in the rear of the spa. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=13.63636302948px]Ana would probably notice that there were no other other guests in the entire facility as they walked. The place however, was immaculate as one should expect. Periodically she would see another massuise tending to some chore. All would turn toward her with a warm smile and pleasant greeting. Having finally arrived at a pair of double doors, Nadia halted and turned on her heel. Revealing a datapad she had picked up before heading back here, she handed it to Ana. "This is a list of all the services we can provide to you today."[/SIZE]

[SIZE=13.63636302948px]"But there is no need to decide just yet." She said with a smile. "We invite you to take your time, relax and enjoy a swim in our reflection pool area." As she finished, she pushed open the double doors and welcome Ana to step in. Ana's senses would be greeted by the smell of a fresh alpine forest, and the sounds of song birds whistling their songs softly in the background. The floor before her was warm earthtone flagstones. There were a few comfortable couched and seats placed around. Beyond that, an infinity edge pool with a beautiful view. "Please let us know what you decide when you are ready and not before." And with that, she gave a small but respectful bow, and left the two to enjoy themselves.[/SIZE]

​

[SIZE=13.63636302948px]When the woman had left, and the doors closed, Ice smiled warmly and wrapped his arms around her as he came up behind her. "Does this work for you to start the day off?" He asked playfully and he planted a soft kiss on her neck.[/SIZE]

As they entered the spa Ana couldn't help but wonder what exactly a spa was. She had heard it was a place of rest and relaxation but beyond that she didn't have a clue. It sounded nice though and she had always wanted to go to one. This stop definitely came as a surprise but a well received one and one he must have planned being that Nadia had been waiting for them.

The facility like everything else she had seen thus far was spotless and beautiful. Her attention turned away from that just as soon as she was handed the datapad of services most of which she had never heard of before. Such as what was a bamboo massage?

The young woman's attention would be once again diverted but this time by birds as she looked up from the datapad to the amazing view before her. "Thank you Nadia," she smiled before the woman left the couple.

"This is amazing. Thank you." Ana smiled gently leaning back into Ice as she gazed back up once again at the view. The only thing she had to worry about here was what kind of facile to get not the ever growing rule of the Sith whom were creeping closer and closer to Mando territory.

Sighing happily she placed her hands on top of his as she looked out to the peacefully mountain tops. She cherished moments like this, wrapped up in his arms with no care in the galaxy.

Moving from his arms for the moment she set the datapad down for now. She could figure out what she wished to have later. "Care to take a swim with me?" She smiled as she turned back around holding a hand to him. The water held quite a few good memories of him and her. Ana wondered what it held for the couple this time.

If he took her hand Ana would pull him into the water first before jumping in after him unless he tried something.

[Aaden Renolds]

[SIZE=13.63636302948px]Aaden was actually taken by surprise when she grabbed his hand and chucked him into the water still fully clothed. And then she herself jumping the same way. He quickly captured her before she could get away, and wrapped his arms around her, playfully kissing her neck like he was "attacking" her. "You little sneak!" He said laughingly. The water itself was wonderful. It had actually be adapted to be like a mineral water spring. So it was extremely good for the skin as well as relaxing.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=13.63636302948px]Releasing his grip on her, he began to discard his clothes, throwing them to the side of the pool. Aaden was unconcerned about the staff. First of all, he knew they were nothing more than droids. But even then, they had already been given orders to not interrupt unless called for. "So! Any idea on what kind of massage you were wanting to get?" He asked curiously as he pictured her laying there on the message table waiting for it.[/SIZE]

Pulling her now wet clothes off she threw them to the side. Ana wasn't concerned about anyone seeing them as there wasn't anyone around. If someone happened to see than oh well. She was in no way ashamed of being with him. Ana wanted to share how she felt about him with the galaxy.

Wrapping her arms around him neck she leaned in for a kiss. "I'm not sure," she smiled as their lips parted. "I have heard of massages before but I have had one. Half of the things on that list I have never heard of before. Do you have any suggestions? Will you be getting one too?" Ana didn't know how any of this worked but was definitely interested in trying it out.

Lightly kissing him again Ana sighed happily as she leaned her head against his shoulder taking in the view. The time she spent with him had been magical thus far and now he was giving her the royal treatment. Things were only getting better and better.

"How did you get all of these beautiful sceneries in this space station? Are we able to actually visit them?" Ana wasn't sure, they could have been nothing more than pretty pictures or holograms. Asking this would also give him more opportunities to talk about the space station.

He gave her form a once over while she was removing her clothes and tossing them aside. She really was gorgeous, and he couldn't help but enjoy every bit of her. Returning his eyes toward not really caring if she caught him staring, a smirk arose on his face as he greedily accepted any and every kiss she offered. When she inquired about her predicament with getting the message, he moved the pair over to the side of the pool and took a look at the datapad. He had learned a bit about message when he was having Libertalia built, as he tended to immerse himself into whatever he was doing. So his time working on this particular portion of the station now granted him a better than basic understanding of message and what the techniques were for.

As he pondered the question though an idea began to roll through his head. "Hmm. Well a four hand massage is excellent for the body because the mind is used to only thinking about two hands....for most species anyway. With two hands the mind can anticipate where the next action will be and tends to tense up a bit. Essentially it takes longer for the massage to work through and get all the muscles relaxed. The four hand message fools the mind, because it can't keep track of all the hands and where they might go next. Thus it is a much more effective massage."

His eyes traced the list of services till they settled on the hot stone service. "Ah now the hot stone. That one is going to be incredibly good for the body. It's said a single hot stone message is worth 10 regular massages. Hmmm." Pulling up another screen on the datapad, he sent a message to Nadia. He planned to create a new form of massage just for her. "Nadia. Ana and I will be having a blend of two messages. I want to combine four hand massage and hot stone massage together. Ping us when you are ready. Thank you." Even though they were droids, he still treated them like any other. It always seemed to brighten their day when one of the few people that actually knew what they were still treated like a living person.

With the message away, he turned toward Ana. "Normally I don't come down here for massages very often. I normally don't have the time. But I will be getting one today with you as well. In fact, I think we're going to create a new form of message. It'll combine the effects of hot stone and four hand. But only when we are good and ready of course." He gave her a playful wink and stol another kiss from her as Aaden embraced her closely.

Hearing her next question, he looked around with a bit of pride. "Well this place here is created through an extremely sophisticated hologram system another friend of mine designed. I simply altered it a bit for use here and in a few other things. A few of the other places though are very real, and I'll show them to you when we are done here if you like. Or whenever we want really. I have no itinerary or schedule on things. It's just whatever we want to see, we'll see it when we want to see it." A warm smile appeared on his face as his hands ran smoothly along her back and down to her upper thighs. He sincerely hoped she was enjoying herself, and desired for her to see that he felt she was the only woman in the galaxy for him.

The more time she spent with him the more her feelings for him grew. When she was with him all her troubles seemed to fade away and it was only them. The rest of the galaxy didn't matter as long as she had him by her side. Even though they had only been with each other a few weeks Ana felt like it had been months. There was nobody she would rather be with. Ana could see herself starting a family with him and spending the rest of her days with him.

The way he described a massage made it sound calming and relaxing. There were many days she could use one of those in order to help her sleep. She was rather excited to try this but later as of right now she wanted to enjoy spending time in the pool with him. It wasn't everyday your boyfriend took you to such a romantic place. "That sounds lovely," she smiled as she leaned in to steal a kiss as her arms loosely wrapped around his neck. "Perhaps sometime I'll try my hand at giving you a massage," she giggled as she seductively winked at him. She had never tried her hand at massages and she doubted she would be as good as the trained professionals but it sounded fun.

"It's breathtaking but than again so are the views at your place. Everything I have seen thus far is amazing and I would love to see more but I'm in no rush. I want to relax and enjoy my time here with you." If she could Ana would stay forever with him on the fantasy space station but she knew by now her holobox was blown up with messages. Right now though as he traced a hand down her thigh Ana could careless.

Her hands lightly traced along his back, her legs wrapped tightly around his waist pulling him in closer to her as she placed a few light kisses on his neck. "Are you trying to seduce me?" She whispered with a smile in his ear giving it a playful tug.

[member="Aaden Renolds"]

 

[Aaden Renolds]

His mind thought to her hands being all over him while giving a massage. Yes, this was a notion he could support. A chuckle almost escaped his lips at the thought. "You won't hear me complain." He said playfully, but then listened as she continued on. He was glad to hear that she seemed to be enjoying herself so much and so far had found his station to her liking. He simply smiled at her further comments, as he felt the same way. Pretty much any activity right now, as long as it was with her was fine by him.

Her last playful comment, changed his smile to a mischievous grin. While she whispered in his ear, he was placing tender kisses along her neck. Eventually he paused to whisper back in her ear. "Maybe...is it working?" He said playfully as his hands continued to dance along the surface of her body. With as wonderful as she was, it was hard to not at every opportunity.

[Anastasia Rade]

It must be something with the water that made her feel this way or perhaps it truly was him. He was amazing and Ana couldn't find a single thing wrong with him. She felt butterflies in her stomach anytime she was around him. At this rate she would be happy just forgetting the rest of the galaxy and living aboard his space station.

"Perhaps," she winked as an arm left his back and a hand slowly caressed down his chest. Resting said hand on his chest she pulled him in closer for a passion filled kiss. As their lips parted she lightly rested her forehead against his.

She was falling fast for him and while it was thrilling it was also scary. The way he made her feel could be placed on the backburner for the moment while they got to know each other more. "How long do I get you before you have to venture back into the real world?" She questioned as her hand lightly ran along his chest. It didn't matter really as she would savor every moment with him. Ana knew he was running a company as much as he would like to stay here entangled in her he couldn't.

[Aaden Renolds]

He let out a soft chuckle before returning her passionate kiss. Nothing could please him more at this moment than being tangled up with her. The feel of her skin against his was awesome. The sound of her voice calming. Just her presence seemed to drive away his cares. It had been an extremely long time before her that he had felt like this. And he meant to enjoy every second. When she asked her question though, the reality of their situations came back to the fore a bit. He reluctantly thought on it for a bit before finally responding. "A few days at the most. We have already been away from our duties for a while now. The other Ice is going to start getting antsy to have me back so he can handle other more important things. And how about you? Are there numerous amounts of people inquiring about your return yet?"

Going back to work wasn't necessary a desired topic, but at least it wasn't a bad one. In point of fact, he still thought he might ask her later about some possible joint business ventures. That would have to wait though. They were here to relax and not focus on business. He was also looking forward to getting to show her more of the station, oh and have some more of her cooking. His mouth began to salivate a bit as he thought about the steaks she had been preparing earlier.

Pushing the thoughts aside for the moment, he refocused on her and waited for her response.

"Umm, I should probably check in with Azrael at some point and visit the lab but I'm in no rush. As long as my brother knows I'm already he won't send a search party," she grinned as she leaned in to kiss him once again. Ana would work here and stay here with him as long as he would let her or until she had to go.

"I may need to get my own apartment here to stay in while you work just as a place to keep my stuff." She leaned in kissing him again as her hands ran along his back gently massaging it.

The massage she was sure would be lovely but she was also enjoying the quite time here with him. Ana could see this becoming her get away from home or at least to see him. She was quite smitten with him at this point. "I should watch as you get a massage so I can learn the tricks of the trade. She winked. Ana of course meant after her own.

[member="Aaden Renolds"]

 

[Aaden Renolds]

"Fantastic!" He said enthusiastically. "As for an apartment. You can always stay at my place. No need to have a second place...unless of course you simply prefer having your own place. At that rate, I can provide that easily enough as well." He was suddenly embarrassed as he didn't mean to presume she would just want to stay with him. It just seemed like the logical thing to do, and he certainly wasn't minding her company one bit. Funny thing was there first week as a couple was spent sharing a small tent in the middle of nowhere. As fun as it was, he was looking forward to sharing more moments like that at the place he called home.

"Well I'd certainly prefer your hands any day. But only as long as you get to enjoy one first." His mind started to wonder to him giving her a massage sometime as well. Though why did he think that would not be the extent of it? Thought brought on a boyish grin even as he returned her kisses and gave her a few of his own.

"I would love to stay with you when I do come and visit. I have to warn you though it will be often." She smiled as she leaned in to kiss him on the lips. Ana could imagine spending the majority of her time here with him as being apart didn't sound fun to her at all.

"Yes, of course. First me and than I'll give you a massage. I'll even use the hot stones or try to at the very least." She grinned at him as she thought of doing such. Ana hoped that she wouldn't be terrible at it and would give a good massage as well.

When she was with him, all the cares of the galaxy seemed to just fade away. At this time she felt perfectly happy just staying here curled up in his arms.
