Where Eagles Fly [Thurion]

Her body stiffened as he moved behind her, his hands over her body. A shallow breath entered her lungs, as she did as asked and remained still. She could not move, it was as if for the first time, that sense of fear and nerves that thrilled the body and soul. She looked down at him, her eyes falling upon his shoulders, the muscles working under his firm skin. Down to his thick upper arms that hold her safe.

She closed her eyes as he took off her boots, and her stomach filled with butterflies the moment he moved sensually up her body to remove her trousers. Her chest began to rise and fall with laboured breath, it was like being back in the cave that same release of emotions that had been pushed and locked away for so many years. Her body began to weaken with each caress, as her feet moved toward the bed.

Her pants came off and slid down her long legs easily enough, and after tossing them aside he stood up and now gazed into her eyes, lustful hunger visible in them both. Without breaking eye-contact he lifted her shirt up over her head and let it fall to the floor without a care. She was now stood in but her underwear, and so he pushed her onto the bed and lay on top of her. His lips again sought hers, kissing her with a burning passion few dared dream of. This night he would take her, claim her as his own.

The curtains of the four-poster bed enclosed around them at his bidding, shutting the two lovers off from the outside world throughout the night as they joined together.

It is morning and the lovers would not be found among the sheets of the four poster bed. Instead they would make their way back from the gardens in the pouring rain and under the cover of darkness before the dawn. The avian creatures had already began to stir and watched as the two naked bodies pass under their bowers. They ran as fast as they can, away from the investigative groundsman who had disturbed their physical union.

Laughter would be the first to break the silence of the master bed room as Coci and Thurion reappeared through the double doors, which hang askew as a result of a swift exit. She walked to the middle of the room only to turn to face him with a wide smile. "That was close", she whispered and grinned like a school girl.

Embracing him once more with her arms lazily over his shoulders, she kisses the man that excites her, loves her and protects her. As she does him. "Lets take a bath".

She pulls back only to run her hands down his chest and away. Turning toward the bathroom which adjoins the room, she left to draw a bath for them. A large bath in the center of the room, with a high arching spout and two silver taps. She adjust the water temperature to a comfortable warm and adds sea salts to cleanse and relax the body. The sound of the water gushing loudly echoed through the large bathroom and steam began to rise over the water. Coci placed towel neatly on a small stool for their use and then stood to face the mirror.

Hmm my hair needs washing.

Finding the luxury of decadency in the lower cupboard, she had a choice of products for her hair and his, and so placed the bottles by the bath and waited for Thurion.

 

[Thurion Heavenshield]

When the two got back to the bedroom they'd left late last night to pursuit more carnal desires, he was pleased to see everything was as they'd left it; all their clothes were still strewn about the floor in a glorious mess, much like the sheets of the bed itself. In their embrace he felt her wet skin tingling at his touch, just as his did to hers. "I bet you would've liked being found out..." he teased as they both made their way into the adjacent bathroom, keeping a hand around her waist.

Within there was a large bath which was soon filled with warm, soothing water. Watching Coci rummage through the manor's supply of expensive and luxurious bathroom articles was... intriguing. But none more so than the view of her naked form turned away from him and slightly bent over. She turned to face him carrying a number of bottles and soaps and what-have-you in her hands. "What are all those for, are we conducting some sort of science experience?" he joked.

He then put one foot into the hot water, letting his body adjust to the stark difference in temperature before climbing in entirely. He lowered himself into the water, and a deep, relaxing sigh followed as he leaned back to rest his head agaist the edge with was padded for enhanced comfort. The once Lords and Ladies of Corellia sure didn't spare any expenses. "Come here, you..." he asked of her watching him sit down in the bath.

"I most certainly would not like to be 'found out'", she teased back, as she watched his long, strong, broad body descend into the steaming water. Her eyes not missing anything as his muscles moved under his skin as he twisted and turned to find a comfortable place. A grin remained on her face, as her eyes flicked over to him joking with her. However, Coci simply said nothing for the moment as she placed the products deliberately on the side of the bath for easy access.

Her legs lifted up and into the bath water, she too took her time to adjust to the heat before lowering into the steaming waters. She allowed her body to descend below the water so she would be wet from head to toe. She could feel the salts working on her skin immediately tingling and soothing her muscles. She knew they would do wonders for his body and injuries which remained from the torture.

The bath is big enough for five people to fit, she of course had had baths in this tub as a child. But this was so vastly different to then as she moved toward him as he beckoned her. "They .. are for our hair", she said gliding to him. As she approached she took one of the bottle, and sat next to him, "Let me wash you?". She asked as she opened the lid.

 

[Thurion Heavenshield]

Watching her climb into the large tub was a sight he deemed himself the luckiest man alive to have witnessed, as her voluptious body slowly submerged itself before shortly re-emerging. Now covered from head to toe in the hot water, she moved to sit beside him with one of the many products in her hand. When asked if she could wash him he quietly nodded and turned around to grant her full access to his back, letting her work.

As she works his back and shoulders he rests his head against the padded surface, closing his eyes at the enjoyment he felt at her touch. Her hands sent shivers down his spine, and his body squirmed a little due to the pleasure.

Pouring some to the bath gel in her hands she lathered them before placing them on his shoulders. Moving in a circular motion down the length of his back careful to not cause pain to injuries. She reached for a sponge and added more gel as she lifted one of his arms to clean away the dirty from the 'expedition' out side. She would slide around to his other side and rework his body once more. His chest would receive her attention next and she watched the soap lather within the small hairs.

Coci placed the sponge down on the side of the bath and took up the hair product. Placing some of the liquid in her hands she began to massage his head and ran her fingers through his golden hair. Softly and slowly she played as she washed. The soap running down his face and neck and beyond. Her eyes followed the path of it. Rinsing him with a jug full of warm water, his hair matted to his head as the soap washed away and spread out across the surface of the bath water.

Her hand disappeared under the water for now she would attend to his lower body, a wicked grinned formed on her lips as her black eyes lifted to meet his.

 

[Thurion Heavenshield]

Now sat facing her once more as she worked on his chest and upper body, mere moments before her hand slipped beneath the surface of the hot water. His gaze met hers, and he could see the wicked intent in her eyes. Resting his elbows against the edges of the tub, he merely leaned back and, again, let her go to work...

Her grin widened on her face, not entirely sure what Thurion was thinking at this point, her hand went to his legs and feet cleansed them. She grabbed his foot and lifted it to her lap her finger poked in between his toes testing to see if he is ticklish there.

 

[Thurion Heavenshield]

She's teasing me. Very successfully so...

He watched her with hungry eyes as she washed his feet and prodded him for ticklish areas. Sadly for her, his toes were not among them, nor the lower part of his body in general. She would have to do better than that in order to force a reaction out of him. Before she could, however, he leaned forward to grab hold of her and made her sit in his lap, facing him. His fingers ran across her entire back, digging into her soft skin.

He then pressed his lips against hers, sharing a kiss full of passion and want.

How vastly different she is in his company. For those that know of her within the order see, a cold, blunt and not so approachable being, but with him all fascade is removed and she sores to great heights. She is a woman capable of great love and caring, yet hides it to protect herself and others. A Shadow needs this, needs to be 'removed' in order to operate effectively. But how the Force, changes things, how it throws up situations in order to test and progress them so to learn. He does not know her completely however, there is still much that is hidden and over time, she may reveal the total being that is she.

However, that will be determine by time and events.

"You are insatiable", she whispered through his kisses, and her hands found their way back to his hair.

She removed herself from his embrace and pushed back toward the other end of the bath, taking the sponge to wash her body. Her eyes never leaving his.

 

[Thurion Heavenshield]

It didn't take long for him to join her over in her corner of the tub, and having spent a few moments watching her lustfully wash her own body with the sponge, he snatched it from her hand to do it himself. Eyes never leaving hers, he squeezed the sponge in his hand, letting the lather run down her chest, between her breasts and stomach before scattering in the water below her belly button. The sponge itself soon followed in its soapy trail, down her front to her belly button and then up again, all while he keeps a steady gaze into her dark eyes.

There was utter silence, save for the dripping of water as they moved about in slow, deliberate motions as he continued to wash her. He gently grasped her arm to clean it, while kissing her fingers one by one before switching to her other arm, bestowing the same treatment to it. "Turn around", he told her, calm and loving in his intent. Once she did, the sponge traced her shoulder blades down to her sides, then finishing off by running it down her spine to her waistline.

Dropping the sponge into the water without a care, he then leaned in to put his arms around her naked form, embracing her from behind. He rested his face against her back above her heart, listening to her heartbeats. "I love you, Coci", he spoke softly, his voice filled with sincerity. "I can't afford to ever lose you. I need you - Nina does, too."

She turned around in his arms to face him. Her arms raised and went to his shoulders to hold him close. Eternity would never be long enough, to be with him, nor would the expanse of space be large enough to hold her love for him. "I belong to you", she whispered as she looked into his sapphire blue eyes.

Her lips sort his only to place a the gentlest of touch, her body pressed against his as she rested her head on his shoulders. Overwhelming emotions welled within her and came flooding to the surface, she cried. Her body would shudder in his arms as she allowed the release of so much pent up emotions built up over so many years of being in the cold, the shadows and away from any form of love. As the tears wet her face, her eyes closed to sink deep within his aura, their force bond palpable and pulsing with the communion.

Finally, as no more tears issued from her, the emotions spent and so she looked up into his face as if reborn. "And I need you.. without you I no longer exist", she began. She moved toward the edge of the bath taking him with her to sink once more beneath the steaming water. She rested her head on his shoulder and sat quietly in thought for a moment.

"I hope one day, Nina will call me mother even though she is my daughter now". Her hand took his and entwined her fingers with his.

 

[Thurion Heavenshield]

When tears began to roll down her cheeks, he held her in his arms firmly, never letting go even had the world ended, right there. Nothing could ever matter more than see to her safety, even when there was nothing to fear. Just as he thought of it as his duty to protect the innocent, it was his duty as a lover and husband-to-be, as well as friend and colleague, to keep her safe. In times like these - the most intimate of moments together with the woman he loves - he could for once put aside all the trouble in his past and the galaxy as a whole, and just focus on her. She was his, and he was hers.

He wiped away the tears one after another, and then joined her in slipping beneath the surface of the warm bathwater for only a brief moment to rinse away any remaining lather in his hair. She found herself in his arms yet again once they'd both re-emerged, nestled into his shoulder with their fingers entwined. "In due time, she will. She wouldn't call me 'father' up until a year ago, or so, and in that moment I knew I had to adopt her to make it official." He looked down into her eyes, filled with love and devotion. "Every day I'm scared, Coci; scared that I'll lose her, or that I'll do something to make her hate me, or... I guess it's foolish of me to think such, but I fear for when this moment in time is over and she eventually grows up. What if she leaves in search of her true family, out there somewhere? Will she still be my little Snowflake?" His voice started to tremble more with every word, and there was only so much he could do to prevent a single tear escape the corner of his eye, crawling down his cheek at a snail's pace.

As Jedi, fear is the ever present emotion that much have a vigilant eye. It is something that is instilled in Jedi from the very beginning, and is a constant battle they wager every single day. Not only the fear of the loss of a loved one, an attachment as it was once described, but the fear of being weak, unable to protect those that require protection, fear of the death of others under this protection, and fear of the dark side. Jedi are not gods, but sentient beings made up of all things that can and will succumb to such emotions, if let unchecked. However, Jedi are different, they train to be vigilant and to not give in to self doubt. Love of another, whether it be a lover or child, and the fear of loss, can lead to a path of darkness .. but, love can also be fear's, the dark side's .. enemy.

Those that know how to love without conditions know this, those that have the strength to let go and set free, will know this.

Her hand raised and settled on his cheek, it would be the only thing to she would do as she looked into his eyes. "She will grow up and become a woman one day, she will be beautiful and strong, because you have guided her on that path", Coci knows of his past which is littered with loss and this can not but have an effect and inform on him in the present.

"It would only be natural for her to want to know, if not to find her family but to find out about her identity as a being. If that day does come, and she comes to you asking this, then be happy for it, go with her and help her find them. Do everything in your power for your daughter so she can be happy and complete, and I know she will not forget it and that you will always be her father, she will always be your Snowflake". She shifted in the water to be closer.

"And know this", she smiled, "That standing right beside you in this hour of need and giving you strength to do this, will be me".

Coci's hand moved and caught the tear on his cheek.

At that moment he, for once in his life, felt safe. All this time he'd put his life on the line for others, be they strangers or friends and loved ones, with almost total disregard for his own life. When Asha had disappeared from his life so many years ago, he'd felt as if he did not have anything to live for, and that feeling had never truly gone away. But now he had a daughter who loves him, who depends on him and wants him around. And now he has the woman of his dreams comforting him in a moment of weakness. It was as if the Force was trying to make up for the losses in his life by returning him not only his long lost father, but even Asha had come back to him. It made him happy beyond counting, but it also meant he had to stay alive for their sake. It was the least he could do to return their love.

Without further ado he pressed his lips against hers, tenderly and lovingly with almost no hint of carnal desire. That part of him had been sated, for now. All he wished was now to love her.

Time stood still.

The warmth of his lips, his tender loving touch removed all the problems of the galaxy in that moment. Her arms moved to his waist holding him under the water as she pressed against him. No, eternity would never be long enough.

She continued to stroke his cheek as she looked into his eyes once more, her smile full of calm and with peace. It was if she had been emptied and refilled with a new purpose, and in a sense that was correct. Two people had entered her life, she loves them both with all of her, and she would gladly give her life in order for them to go on.

"Come, let us get dressed and find Nina. Then we will go home", she whispered.

The End​
