The old cantina was dark and raucous, but
Natanya was so tired she didn't
care. She sank down in her chair, grateful
to be still. Her guard stood
beside her, her mediator sat on her other side.
No one spoke as they waited
for their drinks. Natanya kept her eyes on the
table in front of her,
knowing that people would know what she was, and
desperately wanting no one
to talk to her.
The guard was a big
hulking creature of some unknown origin; but he was
strong and loyal, and he
rarely spoke. He wore canvas and leather and was
sufficiently intimidating
so as to discourage onlookers. The mediator was a
much older woman, dressed
in black with a white headdress similar to but
smaller than Natanya's - she
was a sharp and discreet negotiator. Natanya
wore the typical costume of her
group: long-sleeved dark dress with very full
long skirts and wide v-neck,
trimmed with gold, showing her shoulders and
collar-bone; dark winged
headdress; and small round tinted glasses to hide
her eyes. She was tired
from traveling and wanted to go directly to the
house, but the mediator
insisted they stop and rest, as they were still hours
from home and had been
traveling all day from the other side of Corellia.
As she began to let
herself relax and hear the music from the shaky band in
the corner, Natanya
began to feel something, something familiar but from long
ago. What was
that? A sense of light, of color…a presence…she looked
around the room
surreptitiously for the first time. There were dark, round
tables with dim
lights above them, and beings of many species sitting and
eating and
drinking, or milling around near the bar. The feeling came from
over on the
right. Her eyes rested on a table where three men sat, eating
and talking.
None of them looked familiar. One was dressed in a pilot's
uniform, the
other in simple clothes, pants, shirt and boots, and the third
all in
black.
Who was he?
As she stared at them, the pilot gestured at
her, and the second man turned
around to look. Natanya dropped her eyes
again. Her heart was pounding; her
weariness had disappeared. What was she
feeling?
The drinks arrived, but Natanya was too disturbed to take hers.
The mediator
pushed it closer, and finally she took a sip. Her mind was
flooded with
thoughts she couldn't place. She glanced over at the other
table, where the
men appeared to be having an animated conversation. She
drank slowly,
wondering, when the second man rose from his seat and
approached her table.
Instinctively she looked down. He stood at the table
opposite Natanya and
spoke quietly to the mediator.
"Uh…hi. My friend
and I were wondering…I'm sorry, I'm not sure what the
protocol is on this…we
want to know if the Courtesan would like to spend time
with us."
"She
is not at her house," the mediator pointed out.
"I know, but I
thought…we're staying upstairs for the night. Will that be
all right?" asked
the man.
The mediator looked at Natanya. She moved her eyes behind her
glasses slowly
up the visitor. He was tall, around thirty-five, with longish
dark hair and
warm dark eyes. He had a confident air about him that was
tempered by his
apparent nervousness.
"What's your name?" asked the
mediator.
"Han Solo," he replied.
The mediator looked at his
simple clothing and lowered her voice. "Are you
sure you can pay for
this?"
"Of course I can," he replied defensively.
The mediator
looked at Natanya, who bowed her head once, very slightly. The
older woman
said, "Let's see the other one."
The man turned and called to his table,
"Wedge," and the pilot rose and
walked over. He was a little younger than
Han Solo, but he also had dark
hair and eyes. He had an open, friendly way
about him, despite his anxiety.
Natanya nodded very slightly at the
mediator, then turned and murmured to her.
The mediator said, "What about
the third man?"
Han Solo threw a glance back at his table. "No,
he's…um…not participating."
Natanya looked over at the light-haired man
in black, the one who was
disturbing her thoughts so much. He was looking in
their direction, his face
clearly showing his distaste. She peered carefully
over her glasses and
stared for a moment at him. Her heart pounded loudly.
Then she knew.
She murmured to the mediator.
The woman turned
toward her, obviously shocked. "Are you sure?"
Natanya nodded her head
very slightly.
The mediator stared at her for a moment, then turned her
face to the men and
said quietly, "She says there is no charge for the
Jedi."
Han Solo paused in surprise, then glanced back at his table and
shrugged. "I
don't know…but I'll tell him." He turned back to the mediator.
"How does
this work?"
"You and the other gentleman will go up to your
rooms. We will be up
shortly."
"All of you?" Han Solo
asked.
"All of us," replied the mediator. "We will handle the financial
end of
things upstairs."
The three men paid for their food
and left the room while Natanya, the
mediator, and the guard finished their
drinks. The mediator walked outside
to tell their transport they would be
delayed, and the guard took Natanya's
bag and followed her to the back where
the stairs wound their way up. She
was small, but her full skirts filled the
narrow passageway, and by the time
they reached the third story, the
mediator had caught up with them. The
older woman found the door to the
men's rooms, and knocked.
Han Solo opened the door and they entered,
first the mediator, then Natanya,
then the guard. The rooms were a suite,
three bedrooms and a changing room
surrounding a sitting area. It was simple
and worn, but clean, carved or
molded out of adobe, like the rest of the
building. One of the bedroom doors
was closed. Natanya stood quietly while
the money was exchanged.
"Who will go first?" asked the
mediator.
"Me," said Han Solo.
Natanya walked over to him and took
his chin in her hand so she could look
directly into his eyes. She took her
glasses off and let her eyes study his,
searching for his thoughts and
emotions. He tried to pull back, but the
energy of her black eyes was so
strong he couldn't move. She released him
and turned to the other man,
Wedge. She gazed at him the same way, making
him as uncomfortable as Han.
The she picked up her bag, took it into the
changing room, and closed the
door.
"You may go to your rooms now," said the mediator. "I will send her
in when
she is ready. We will wait here."
Wedge and Han exchanged
glances and then turned and went into their rooms.
Natanya emerged from the
changing room, dressed in a sheer white silk gown,
without her glasses. She
looked at the mediator, who pointed toward Han's
room.
"Do you think
he'll like that?" the mediator asked her, referring to the gown.
"It'll
be all right," Natanya replied. "It's all I have with me." The
mediator
nodded.
Natanya opened the door slowly. Han was reclining on the
bed, still dressed,
and he rose up onto his elbows as Natanya walked in. He
gave her a sly
smile, and she returned it, liking his nerve - to be so bold
with a
Courtesan! Most men were at least somewhat intimidated by her, but
not this
one. He amused her.
He stood up and walked slowly over to
her, with that same smile, his eyes
warm and full of good humor. He backed
her against the wall, and looked down
into her upturned face, his two hands
on the wall on either side of her head.
"It's true," he said. "What they
say about your eyes."
She knew he meant all of her kind, not her in
particular, and she nodded,
still smiling at him. She lifted her hand and
touched his lips, running her
finger over his chest, his stomach, and down,
knowing he liked things
straightforward without a lot of fuss. His mouth was
already hot when it
found hers, hard, with no gentleness, and he kissed her
with fervor.
When it was over, Natanya saw to it that Han fell
asleep right away, then she
rose, slipped on her gown, and opened the door.
The mediator was reading the
book she carried with her, and the guard was
seated at the other end of the
couch, dozing. Natanya closed Han's door
behind her; the door to the
changing room was closed, and the shower could
be heard running. Wedge's
bedroom door was open, and the third door was
closed as it had been before.
"He's taking a shower," said the mediator.
"How did it go with the other
one?"
"It was fine," replied Natanya
shortly, irritated to be asked. She stared at
the third bedroom door,
wondering what the Jedi was doing behind it, and
feeling a stretch of
yearning she hadn't felt in many years.
She walked over to the changing
room and opened the door; the water was still
running, and Natanya stepped
out of her gown. Thinking about Wedge, and what
she had seen in his eyes,
she drew back the thick blanket that made the
curtain to the shower and
stepped in. His eyes were closed while he was
washing his hair, and he
didn't notice her for a moment. She studied his
body; very muscular,
agile-looking, he wasn't as large a man as Han but he
was well proportioned.
He opened his eyes then and almost fell over in
surprise. She laughed and
grabbed his arm to steady him.
"I wasn't expecting you yet," he
explained, clearly embarrassed. "I wanted
to be clean for you."
"Let
me help you," she offered and took the soap from the shelf. She
lathered her
hands and, starting from his neck, began to run her hands down
his chest and
arms, using long gentle strokes. He was trembling and she
could tell he was
shy about his swiftly growing erection.
"I've never showered with anyone
before," he said with a nervous laugh.
I know, she thought, but she just
smiled up at him.
"I mean, I've been with women before," he continued,
"but I've never been
with a Courtesan…I've never even seen one before. You
women are legendary.
I've even heard people talking about you in other parts
of the galaxy." He
paused as she soaped his stomach and back. "That feels
great. Is it really
true, that you know exactly how to be the perfect lover
to every man you're
with?"
Natanya ran her soapy hands over his
penis, then gently stroked his balls.
"What do you think?" she asked. Wedge
didn't answer; he was breathing hard
and holding on to the side of the
shower for support. She pressed her mouth
to his and he returned the kiss
passionately, moaning under his breath.
Later, when they were
done, they sat up together on the floor of the shower,
smiling at each
other, and Natanya dried him off. He put on his clean
clothes, leggings and
tunic for sleeping, and he said to her as she watched
him, "I don't know
what to say - you were wonderful."
"I'm glad you enjoyed it."
"Oh,
yes," he replied, and took her by the shoulders, kissing her gently.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome," she said, and he grinned back at her as
he returned to his
room. She knew he would sleep very soon; she used a
technique that made that
happen. Natanya's traveling clothes were still in
the changing room, so she
dried herself off and put on her costume. She
packed the white gown in her
bag and brushed out her damp dark hair; she put
her glasses on. Then she
opened the door to the sitting room.

"Are you done?" asked the
mediator. The guard was still asleep.
"Just a minute," Natanya answered,
and put her bag down. She looked over at
the third bedroom door, showing a
thin band of dim light at the top and
bottom. She hesitated for a minute,
and finally decided. She walked over to
the door and knocked softly. At the
"Come in," she opened the door and stood
in the doorway.
He was lying
on the bed, reading a large book by a lantern, and it took a
moment before
he looked up. He was built like Wedge, probably around
twenty-five or so,
with shaggy light brown hair and blue eyes. There was a
sensitivity to his
face that moved her, a hurt that was close to the surface.
She couldn't
imagine what it would be like to look into his eyes. She was
almost afraid
to think of it. His face grew cold as he realized it was her.
"I told Han
I wasn't interested," he said shortly.
"I know," Natanya said. "I was
just wondering if I could talk with you for a
few minutes." Her longing to
be near him was so strong she couldn't imagine
he didn't feel it.
He
sighed and closed his book. "All right. You can sit down."
Natanya swept
her way in, choosing the straight back chair in the corner of
the room. She
settled her skirts around her and studied him as best she
could with her
glasses on.
"What's your name?" she asked him.
"Luke. Luke
Skywalker." He turned around to face her. "What's yours?"
"Natanya." She
noted that he asked her name, where Wedge and Han had not.
He stared at
her. "How can you do this?"
"How can I do what?"
"You know…be that
way with Han, then Wedge right after. I don't understand
how you can do
that."
She smiled gently and shrugged. "It's what I do. I've been doing
it for
years. Haven't you ever heard of a Courtesan?"
"Han and Wedge
tried to explain it, but all I understand is that they pay you
money to be
with them."
Natanya thought. She spoke carefully, trying not to offend
him. "Well, here
on Corellia, Courtesans are an ancient tradition. It's an
honor to be a
member of the house. We're chosen when we're young, and we
take care of each
other…it's like a family."
"But men come to your
house and they pay you to be with you. And you have to
do it?"
"I
don't have to do anything I don't want to. I pick which men I want. And
yes,
they pay, quite a bit."
Luke said, with obvious skepticism. "Han said you
were expensive because
you're supposed to be very good."
"We are very
good, because we're empathic. We know what a man wants without
his telling
us. They look for that ability in young girls - that's how they
determine
who can become a member of the house."
"But it's all still fake, isn't
it? No matter how good you are, or how much
you know about them, you don't
really feel anything for any of these men, do
you? And they don't really
feel anything for you."
"No, but creating an emotional bond through sex
isn't our goal."
He frowned, trying to understand. "Shouldn't it
be?"
"Not necessarily; at least, not for me." Natanya had never been
ashamed of
who she was, but under his scrutiny, she was beginning to feel
uncomfortable.
Being in Luke's presence seemed to generate thoughts and
feelings in her she
wasn't accustomed to.
Luke shook his head. "But
don't you want to marry? Or have a family?"
Natanya smiled. "No…why would
I want that?"
"Well, don't Courtesans ever fall in
love?"
Natanya's smile faded. She couldn't tell if he knew, or was just
curious.
"It happens. Once in a great while."
"Well, what do you do
then?"
She looked at him helplessly. She couldn't answer - she didn't
trust her
voice, but Luke didn't persist. She knew he was sensing her
feelings, and
his face softened slightly. Thankfully he changed the
subject.
"How did you know I'm a Jedi?"
She let her breath out and
steadied her voice. "I could tell right away,
almost as soon as I walked
into the cantina. Your presence is very powerful
to me."
"But how
would you even know what a Jedi is? There haven't been any for
almost thirty
years…and you're how old…twenty-five…thirty?"
"I'm much older than I look
- my people live very long lives, and we age
slowly. I knew several Jedi
many years ago. I felt the same…I guess you can
call it energy…from you as I
did from them.
Her words appeared to agitate him. "Yeah, well, you're
looking at the last
one," he spat out. "The last Jedi."
"No," she
said fervently, shaking her head. "You're the first one."
There was a
silence as he sighed at her words. "Yes. Isn't that wonderful.
It now rests
on my shoulders, the entire future of the Jedi Knights. I have
no master -
I'm not even a master myself. I have one student - my sister. I
don't even
know where to start."
"Well, how did you become a Jedi?"
Luke
sighed again and began his story, starting with buying the droids on
Tatooine. When he reached the part about meeting Ben Kenobi, Natanya burst
out, "Obi-Wan?"
"Yes," Luke said, astonished. "Did you know
him?"
"Yes I did," she said, "Is he still alive?"
"No," Luke
replied, with pain in his voice, and he continued his story about
meeting
Han and Leia and told her how Ben was killed. "How did you know
him?"
Natanya felt her heart pounding. "His master was a good friend of
mine."
"His master?"
Natanya found the next words difficult to get
out. "Obi-Wan was Padawan to a
Jedi Master named Qui-Gon Jinn." She almost
choked - she hadn't said his
name in years.
Luke leaned forward to
hear her better. "And Qui-Gon was a friend of yours?"
She
nodded.
Luke asked softly, "And you loved him?"
"Yes," she
whispered.
"What happened to him?"
"He was killed by a Sith
Lord."
Luke sat back up. "Darth Vader?"
"No, no…that was before
Darth Vader. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan were in a battle
with the Sith Lord, and he
killed Qui-Gon. Then Obi-Wan killed the Sith."
Natanya would never forget
the day when the transmission came in from Obi-Wan
to tell her what had
happened. The other Courtesans had to sedate her and
put her in bed; it took
days before she could bear to be conscious, and
months before she could even
look at another man.
"What happened after that?" Luke
asked.
"Obi-Wan became a Jedi Knight and took on his own Padawan." She
finally made
the connection and looked up at Luke. "Anakin
Skywalker."
"My father," he said.
"Yes," she replied in
surprise.
"Well, I guess I should tell you the rest of my story then,"
Luke said, and
continued until the victory at the battle of Endor, which had
only taken
place a few months before. It was very late when he was done, and
Luke and
Natanya sat silently, both processing the information in their
minds.
Natanya no longer felt resentment and anger from him; more like
exhaustion
and melancholy.
Suddenly he asked her, "Why do you wear
those glasses?"
"They help keep out information that I don't
want."
"What do you mean?"
"Because of my empathy…Qui-Gon used to
say that the Force is strong in me…I
can almost read minds when I look into
someone's eyes. The glasses keep me
from doing that."
Luke leaned
closer. "Please take them off."
Natanya slowly lifted them off and
focused her black eyes into his warm blue
ones. She had to struggle to keep
tears from spilling out; she could feel
his pain, his losses, his worries,
his kindness, the new-found power he was
learning to use, and how strong the
Force was inside him. She hadn't felt
anything like it since
Qui-Gon.
He was looking just as intently back at her until he finally
said softly,
"I've never really been with a woman before."
She
started to tremble. "Would you like to be with me?"
"Yes," he
whispered.
She rose slowly from the chair and sat down on the small bed,
which was
covered with a rough blanket. He sat up, watching her while she
ran a finger
around the shape of his face, carefully touching his eyes, nose
and mouth,
down his neck and across his shoulder. She touched her lips
gently to his,
feeling their softness and rubbed her lips against his before
kissing him.
He was warm and musky; he smelled of dust, of smoke from the
cantina - the
scent was intoxicating to her. They kissed for what might have
been seconds,
or hours, then Natanya moved her tongue into his mouth, and he
took it,
intertwining it with his own. His arms wrapped around her, and she
released
her mouth from his, running her tongue over his earlobe, the down
his neck.
She was trying very hard to take it slow with him, but her desire
for him was
so strong…she wasn't sure how she would be able to contain
herself. This was
nothing like the other men she had been with, except one,
but this was almost
sweeter, after her years of sadness. She ran her hands
down his body, over
his strong chest and stomach, but she stopped there, to
give him some sense
of control. She reached up and began to unfasten his
tunic, but he caught
her hands and whispered, "You first."
Natanya
backed away from him on the bed and unlaced the front of the dark
blue
dress, sliding the shoulders of the dress down over her arms. She heard
him
inhale as he saw her breasts, and before she could continue undressing,
he
reached out to stroke the sides of her breasts and then caress her already
erect nipples. His touch sent waves of pleasure through her, and she could
feel herself getting moist, opening up for him. She leaned over to kiss him
while he explored; his fingers were gentle, almost wary, until the
increasing
passion of her kisses told him that she liked what he was doing.
"So soft,"
he murmured, "so soft."
She stood up and unfastened the
waist and skirt of the dress. He lay back
and watched as she slid off her
boots, then her stockings and undergarments,
until she was naked. Her smooth
body glowed in the lantern light. Luke rose
and pulled her into his arms,
and ran his hands up and down her back and hips
and through her long hair
while they kissed. He let her move her hands down
to his leggings, untying
the belt and sash and reaching in to touch his stiff
member. He moaned
quietly in her ear and ran slow kisses along her neck and
shoulder. She
stroked him with a gentle rhythm that grew more intense as she
felt him
respond - knowing she was responsible for giving him such pleasure
thrilled
her immensely. Slowing down her strokes to prevent his climax, she
reached
up again to unbutton his tunic, and this time he let her. She nearly
swooned, running her hands over his strong torso. His body felt wonderful
against hers - firm and warm - and she felt like she had known him forever.
Luke laid her down on the bed, stroking her breasts and stomach. He
leaned
over her and touched one nipple with his tongue, which sent a surge
of
pleasure through her body. He continued caressing her breast with his
tongue, then moved to the other one; she ran her fingers through his hair
while her body responded to his touch. He lifted up his head to watch her
reaction and smiled at her. He shifted his attention to her legs, stroking
her inner thighs and then moving his hand up between her legs. His breath
caught as he stroked her, feeling how he had excited her, how hot and wet
she
was there. He had made her body so sensitive that his slightest touch
forced
a soft cry of pleasure from her mouth. As he moved his fingers over
her
mound and into her slit, he found the exact spot that made her tingle
all
over. Her breath was fast and shallow, but when she was almost ready to
climax, she sat up, wanting him to share it with her. She took his hand to
help him up and slid off his leggings and boots. He then became almost shy,
standing there naked, watching her study him. He was beautiful, strong and
lean, his eyes dark in the glow of the lantern, glints of light in his hair.
She ran her hands down his arms and intertwined her fingers with his,
leaning
up to kiss his mouth. She then sank to her knees in front of him and
ran her
tongue along the crease just above his thigh, next to his penis;
then she
drew his firm member into her mouth, first licking carefully, then
pulling on
him with longer strokes. She felt his body yielding to her, one
of his hands
on her shoulder and one laced in her hair, and when she felt he
was close to
release, she withdrew him from her mouth and stood
up.
Natanya pulled him down to the bed, laying him down on his back and
lay next
to him, her head propped up on her elbow so she could look down at
him. She
traced her fingers around his face, gazing into his eyes. She
wanted to know
what he was feeling, and the surge of emotions that emerged
from him
astounded her: desire, hope, happiness…even love. She wanted to
tell him
what he meant to her; that even though she only met him that night,
she knew
him, she loved him, she had been waiting for him, she would give up
any other
man to be with him. She wanted to be worthy of him. But no words
would come
out; her throat was choked with tears. Instead, she lay down
beside him and
pulled him on top of her. He entered her easily, locking his
eyes with hers.
He moved slowly, up and down, while she moved her hips
beneath him, in
perfect rhythm together. She wrapped her legs around him as
he moved faster.
His breathing became quick and shallow, and as she felt her
orgasm begin to
build, he called out, closing his eyes and holding her
tightly to him. She
closed her eyes to see the bright splash of colors in
her mind as the waves
of pleasure began, crashing over her like an ocean.
She cried out his name,
and then the tears were finally
released.
Luke held her close, not speaking, then carefully
withdrew himself, still
holding on to her. "Why are you crying?" he asked,
with concern in his voice.
She shook her head, and he gently wiped the
tears from her face and brushed
back her hair. "I don't know what to say,"
he said finally. "That was so
wonderful…I wish I had the words to tell you."
But he knew she didn't need
his words. He looked down into her eyes; she saw
tenderness and caring and
contentment. She smiled at him and pulled the
blanket over them while they
lay there in the lantern light, wrapped in each
other's arms.
"I can't believe how tired I am," he said, yawning. She
knew how tired he
was; she had made sure he would sleep. "You'll be here
when I wake up, won't
you?" he mumbled, but he fell asleep before she could
answer.
Natanya climbed out of bed and picked up her clothes. As she
fastened her
dress around her, the tears started again, and she couldn't
seem to stop
them. She found her glasses and put them on. She blew out the
lantern and
opened the door. The mediator was now dozing, but the guard was
sitting up,
and Natanya got her bag from the changing room. The guard roused
the
mediator, who closed her book and stood up, stretching. Natanya opened
the
door to the hall, and as the guard got a closer look at her, he
exclaimed,
"What happened? Did they hurt you?" and he took out his
blaster.
Natanya shook her head, the tears still silently
flowing.
The mediator studied her. "No, they didn't hurt you," she said
scornfully.
"You love him, don't you?"
Natanya said sorrowfully as
she wept, "He was so tender and beautiful…"
The mediator sighed. "Let's
go. The transport's
waiting."
