Private Shadows over Corellia

[Jason Darklighter]

Jason sighed for a third time and his head thudded back against the headboard.

“We really should get up…”

They needed to avoid the Sith troopers, get to a public data terminal, figure out who was behind the Shadows disappearing, and then find a way to pay off Golga the Hutt.

Or…

He glanced down at the absolute stunner curled into him.

Maybe five more minutes isn’t that bad…

With the hand wrapped around and under her, Jason rubbed a thumb gently back and forth along her back, brushing against the hemline of her shirt. No memories slammed into him, which was a relief.

Getting shot might have been worth it after all.

[Solara Gale]

"Hrmm?" She hummed against him as if answering something in her dreams. Instead of jolting her awake, his touch seemed to sooth her back to a quieter sleep. Just a little longer.

When the daylight of Corellia became bright through those curtains, Sol finally began opening her eyes.

Eyes focusing on the body she was curled against. Up to his face, that bridge of his nose. Those Kiffar tattoos. Then snagged on his eyes.

She blinked the sleep away, awakeness coming suddenly and quickly.

"Hey," she uncurled herself but not as quickly as she could have. Should have. "You're really warm, you know that?" Legs swung over the bed as she stood up. With a gesture of her fingers, her boots floated lazily over to her from the doorway. Catching them, she began tugging them on. "I've been thinking about the public terminal. There's one near the spaceport. Might be our best bet. You got a ship?"
