Here it was Halloween and you were
sitting at your cramped desk wishing you were anywhere
but at work. You were bored and restless and the idea
of a root canal was starting to look appealing as a
better way of passing time. You try and get back to
work but the pages of the report your supposed to
write just start to blur.
Being Yoda’s secretary was turning into a
boring bitch. He never went anywhere so you never
really got a break from him and if he caught you
rolling your eyes he’d hit you with that damn stick.
You damn near got fired for the fact
that the last time he’d done it you’d thought how much
fun it would be to stick it up his ass. He picked up
on the thought as wasn’t amused. Mace Windu and
Qui-Gon Jinn had intervened on your behalf, after they
stopped laughing picking up on the thought themselves.
Fortunately for you a florist arrives
to give you a nice few minute break. You sit back and
look at the beautiful floral arrangement that came in
a Halloween mug. Well at least whoever sent them is
practical you think to yourself, you can use the
coffee cup long after the flowers have died. You open
the small card, which says “No trick, only treat,
Fountain Hotel 7 o’clock. Room 518. Be there.”
Well shit you’re really not going to get
any work done for the rest of the day now. You have
butterflies dancing in your stomach in anticipation of
what the night will bring. You also have so many
questions running through your head. Who sent the
flowers? Should you go? Is it safe?
After wrestling with those questions and
a lot more and realizing the report isn’t going to get
finished today you beg off and leave work early. Yoda
already thinks your half nuts so he gladly waves you
away.
If this is going to be an adventure you
want to be ready. You go shopping in the mall and stop
at your favorite store to buy some lotion and bubble
bath so you can treat yourself to a good soak before
you leave for room 518 and the mystery man. You had
never before thought Halloween a particularly romantic
holiday. To you it was about the kids dressing up and
mooching sweets from the neighbors. You pass by a
costume shop on your way. You laugh to yourself, the
last time you bought a costume you were in collage and
drank to many Margaritas. You turn around and walk
back into the mall and straight into the costume shop.
The shelves and racks have pretty well been picked
over but you look around and see a cape. A vampire is
a good and easy stand by. To bad they don’t have
decent clothes to go with it. A smile creeps across
your face, as you know what you’re going to do and why
not the evening is supposed to be about exploring new
horizons. You purchase the cape, a bat necklace and a
pair of fishnet stockings the kind that you normally
wouldn’t be caught dead in.
You head straight for one of the trendiest dress
shops on Courosant and blindly buy the most amazing
black dress you’ve ever seen along with 6-inch heels
and a bra and panty set. Leaving the mall and taking
the air bus home you have no idea how your going to
walk in those heels but then again if things go the
way you hope you won’t be doing much walking.
After a nice hot bath you get dressed for the
evening. You can’t remember the last time you wore
anything so reveling. The dress is low cut in the
front and has a slit all the way up one leg. You do
your make up, passing up on actually trying to look
undead and pull your hair back tight. You’re just
about to call a cab when there is a knock on the door.
Your mystery man sent you a driver for the evening.
You get into the spacious speeder and proceed to grill
the driver about who hired him. By the time you reach
the hotel your finally convinced that he doesn’t know
anything and it’s a moot point now.
You walk into the lobby of one of the
fanciest hotels on the planet and your stomach lurches
with fear. What the hell are you doing here? This guy
could be a nut case for all you know. You walk over to
the desk clear and introduce yourself you give him
your name vital stats and tell him it’s a just incase
you come up missing and the guy in 518 is a serial
killer. He laughs at you and tells you that he doesn’t
think you have a thing to worry about. You ask him who
rented the room and he points to the elevators and
tells you to find out for yourself.
You climb aboard the crowded elevator and
wait nervously as people get on and off between the
floors. When you arrive at the 5th floor you
cautiously leave the security of the elevator more
afraid that you’ll fall on your face wearing those
ridiculous heals in front of everyone that you are of
who or what is behind the door of 518.
You walk carefully down the hallway
holding on to the wall for support and as you round
the corner your standing in front of the room. The
butterflies return to your stomach and they’ve brought
reinforcements. You lift your hand to knock quietly on
the door, which opens immediately. And whoever opened
the door is now standing behind it waiting for you to
walk into the room. You step inside a couple of feet
and see the entire room bathed in candlelight. But
they’re not the typical romantic candles one would use
for a rendezvous they’re Halloween candles with ghosts
and bats and dancing monsters on them.
Ok it’s a party you think to yourself letting
out the breath you’d been holding. When you hear a
voice behind you.
“Well it’s a party but I’m afraid we’re the
only two people here. Your not disappointed are you?
You were certain that your heart stopped
beating the second that you heard his voice. You
turned around slowly and watched as Jedi Master Mace
Windu closed the door and leaned against it.
“You weren’t expecting me were you?” You
could detect a note of sadness to the question. Then
you started grinning like an idiot and you couldn’t
seem to stop.
“No I wasn’t expecting you. But I’m glad
it was you. Really glad it was you.”
He took a step towards you. “Haven’t you
noticed in the past month how many times I
conveniently stopped by to see Yoda and ended up
talking for a hour with you. I spend all day
practically every day in council with Yoda. Surely you
must have known that I wouldn’t have to come all the
way down to his office to see him.”
The truth was it had never crossed your
mind that he might be interested in you as anything
other than a friend. And you had valued his friendship
and looked forward to the times that he came to see
Yoda. You. He came to see you. That thought kept going
over and over again in your mind. You broke out into
a larger and even goofier grin and bit your lower lip
to try and stop from looking like a moron.
“I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.” He
said standing in front of you now with his big brown
eyes looking into yours. “I’m not exactly a magnet for
woman. Sure occasionally I’ve enjoyed the company of a
fine lady but it never lasts for very long. I don’t
honestly know why. Qui-Gon and a few of the others are
the ones that never seem to lack female companionship
and don’t even get me started on his padawan.” He
chuckled “You look amazing tonight. I love the dress.
It’s very tempting. Cape is nice too.” He traced his
hand down your shoulder to lift up a side of the cape.
You were finally starting to recover from
your shock to notice that he was wearing a pair of
black silk pajamas with silver trim. You could make
out the definitions of his arm muscles and chest
muscles while he continued to give you the once over.
“Damn you look so beautiful.” He ran his
hand back up your arm and started to trace small
patterns on your neck.
He made you feel beautiful in that
moment. Something that you hadn’t felt in a long time
but you still worried about the few extra pounds and
your skin and you were mentally starting on your
self-berating list when a pair of warm soft lips
slowly moved over yours. “Don’t. I like you just the
way you are. And besides if you ask me there are far
to many skinny diet obsessed woman out there. I like a
little meat on the bones.” He winked at you and moved
away to the table.
“I ordered dinner. I hope that’s ok.
You didn’t eat yet did you?”
“No.” He motioned for you to join him
and pulled the chair out for you so that you could sit
done. Something no man had ever done for you before.
He picked up on that thought and smiled looking quite
pleased with himself. You looked down at dinner with
surprise to see he had ordered you both a T-bone steak
with an extra helping of mashed potatoes and gravy and
garlic bread. Damn why couldn’t he have ordered a
light dinner or let you order for yourself so you
could order a salad.
“Woman I’m going to tell you right
here and now that if you plan on ordering salads and
other assorted rabbit food when we go somewhere it’s
over right now. I don’t want to sit across from a
woman who’s secretly lusting after my food while
trying to impress me with the fact that she don’t eat.
If I want someone trying to pull an anorexic trip I’d
ask Obi-Wan for one of his ex-model girlfriends phone
numbers. I want a real woman and real woman eat. By
the way I’ve ordered French Silk for desert and if you
don’t eat it I will.”
You were going to marry this man.
He burst out laughing. “Do you think we could get
through our first date before we name the children?”
You could feel yourself turning
beat red. “I don’t suppose you’d stop that? Reading my
mind I mean.”
“Sure if you want me to. I guess it
is a little rude to never allow a lady a thought all
her own.”
You smiled and you both started in
on your dinner. You laughed and joked with each other
and pretty quickly you could feel most of the tension
leaving your body as you began to relax and enjoy the
company of this man. You look around the room and see
that Mace has decorated it with a couple of foam
pumpkins and a set of pumpkin lights all around the
bed. There are fake cobwebs and huge spiders with
dopey drunken expressions on their faces all over the
room.
Three hours pass by in a flash and the
two of you are still talking and laughing. You were
getting to know him as a man. As something other than
the stick in the mud no nonsense Jedi that he
presented himself as to the order and almost everyone
else around him.
“I was wondering if you’d dance with me?”
Mace stood up and held out his hand, which you readily
took. Using the force he flipped on a small stereo
unit on the nightstand. He took you gently in his arms
and you both started to sway to the music when you
fell against him.
He smiled, set you on the bed and
began to slowly and far to innocently remove the
buckle at your ankle so he could slide your shoes off.
You feel the warmth coming over you as he pulls you
back to your feet and you dance again with your head
tucked into his shoulder. He kisses your neck softly
and you look at him smiling at you and feel like a
sixteen year old on her first date.
“I’ve had a great time tonight.” You say
while wrapping your arms around his neck and planting
a solid kiss on his lips.
“I want to see you again. Is that ok?”
“Mace how do you feel about going out for
breakfast?” You shyly lock eyes with him and you see
that it takes a moment to register what your saying.
“I don’t want to rush you. I don’t want
to make you do anything you do want to do or regret
this later.”
“I won’t.” you whisper as you fit your
mouth to his. He gently returns the kiss deepening it,
letting his tongue explore your mouth. You feel his
arms wrap around you as his hands start to stroke your
back. His mouth moves to your ear and after spending
what seemed like an eternity feasting on your mouth.
He slides his tongue slowly down the column of your
throat.
He turns you around so that your back
is to him and starts to slide his hands all the way up
your body until he reaches your neck where he undoes
the cape and lets it fall to the floor. You tilt your
head back for a kiss and his hands start to rub up and
down your sides, the warmth in your belly starting to
grow.
He slides his hands down your legs and
starts to hike up the skirt on your dress the whole
while his mouth never leaves yours. Once he has your
skirt bunched up around your waist he pushes the
fishnet stockings down your legs and you step out of
them.
You turn around and run your hands over
his chest loving the feel of hard muscle under the
silk. You start to undo the buttons on his shirt and
with each one you free you place a kiss on the newly
exposed flesh.
Mace moans in the back of his throat as
you slip the shirt off his shoulders and fasten your
mouth to one of his perfect nipples. You pull it into
your mouth and tease it, wrapping your tongue around
it and kiss your way across his chest to the other one
and give it the same loving treatment of your mouth.
Mace starts to massage your breasts as
your mouth feasts all over his chest and you run your
hands all over his body and lightly rake your
fingernails down his chest and stomach.
He picks you up, fastens his mouth to
yours and walks the few steps to the bed where he
gentle places you down and kneels over you his mouth
kissing the very breathe out of your body.
He slips the dress off of your body and
starts kissing your ankles, then the inside of your
knees and slowly all the way back up your body.
Running his tongue all over your stomach and ni
