DISCLAIMER: George? I don’t know exactly how to tell you this... Qui-Gon
doesn’t want to belong to you anymore. He says he wants to stay here with me. He
says the things I do with him are a lot more fun. Hey, it’s not my fault! The
Master has a mind of his own! Eilis Tirion does belong to me.
RATING: NC-17
SUMMARY: An interlude on Charin 4.
AUTHOR’S NOTES: This is a piece of
much larger alternate universe that I’m creating. All you really need to know is
that this takes place a few thousand years before Episode One, and involves one
of Qui-Gon’s past lives. At this point, he is in his early thirties.
"But thou dost make
the very night
itself...brighter
than day."
Longfellow
Eilis Tirion leaned back against the soft grass, staring up at the silvery sky. Dusk had fallen a few moments before, darkening the firmament, and Charin 4’s many moons were suddenly revealed. Ablos, the largest, sat at its zenith, its purple glow reflected down on the planet. She could barely make out the golden lights of the mining settlement in the twilight zone. Aldine was the smallest, its orange light fighting a losing battle with its larger siblings. Arsis hung low in the sky, a stretched blue orb about to dip below the horizon.
Eilis mentally named off the rest of the satellites, waiting for the huge silhouette of Charin 5 to appear in the northern sky. As expected, the gas giant peeked over the mountains, lending its dusky blue-green glow to its smaller, terrestrial neighbor. The rings stretched across most of the sky, lending a dramatic backdrop to the moons. The first few stars began to pop out of the light. Only the brightest could be seen, but the Charin system sat in the middle of a luminous nebula. Most of the nearby stars were red giants or white dwarfs or young blue stars. The Charin sky was never an empty one.
The dull roar of a departing ship echoed off of the valley walls, and almost obscured the sound of footsteps behind Eilis. She listened for a second, stretching out with the Force.
"Hello, Qui-Gon."
She felt rather than saw him start, and smiled to herself. He crossed the few meters separating them and settled down in the grass beside her. "Beautiful night, isn’t it?" he asked, laying back.
Eilis nodded. "It’s always beautiful here," she replied softly.
She could feel his curiosity nudging at her mind. She had known Qui-Gon only a few months. In this body, it felt like a long time. The human concept of time was rather tedious, and she wondered if she preferred her true form’s perception over the oblique senses of the humans.
He knew that something was not right about her. She could feel it every time he looked at or touched her. He sought the truth with tenacity, probing into her mind at every chance he got. All he knew was that she was a young, but powerful Jedi. She felt his shock when Goran, the head of the Jedi Council, had referred to her as ‘Master’. But she didn’t think she was quite ready to reveal her secrets yet.
But there was something else that she sensed in Qui-Gon, something that she sensed in herself, also. It was very foreign to her, something she’d never experienced in her many eons of life. A warmth that wrapped itself around her, much as the Force itself did. Something that clutched at her chest and sent pulses of heat through her body. She wasn’t exactly sure of what it was, but it was quite pleasant.
The sky was darker now, and the heavenly bodies shone brightly. A procession of Charins made its way through the streets of the city below. If she concentrated, she could see their willowy silver bodies leaping and dancing. Their songs, played on voices which resembled flutes, drifted up to the Jedi’s perch high on the valley wall.
Qui-Gon suddenly rolled onto his side, facing her. In the deepening night, his intense blue eyes seemed to glow, and Eilis felt the waves of heat rush over her again, pooling between her legs. A lock of his soft brown hair fell onto his forehead, and without really thinking, she reached up and brushed it back. He shivered at her touch, his eyes slipping closed.
Eilis was shocked to suddenly realize what she was feeling. Love. Never before had she been presented the opportunity to fall in love. She felt her heart swell with comprehension, threatening to burst with the thrill of knowing that she was in love.
"Eilis?"
His voice brought her back to reality. "I’m fine," she answered quietly, drawing her gaze back to his eyes.
A tiny smile played at his lips. "What were you thinking about?" he asked.
Eilis smiled for him. "I was just thinking that I’ve fallen in love with you," she replied nonchalantly.
To his credit, Qui-Gon didn’t look too surprised. But Eilis could feel the astonishment in him, and she laughed lightly. "Is it that shocking?" she whispered.
He ducked his head to stare at the pendant around her neck. "I... I guess I just wasn’t expecting to hear that," he said.
He suddenly looked possessed, staring intently at her face, his eyes darting from feature to feature, settling finally on her lips. "What?" she asked.
"I’d like to kiss you."
Excitement sent tingles through her. She pulled herself closer to him, and he pressed the length of his body against hers. A heavy sigh left her lips. "Then kiss me."
When he pressed his lips against hers, it sent a tremendous jolt through both of them. Force touched Force, twisting and blending and merging into something larger and infinitely more powerful, until the kiss was no longer a kiss, but a mingling of souls.
He pushed her onto her back, draping his body over hers, sliding his tongue into her mouth. Eilis marveled at the novelty of what was happening, participating as eagerly as she could. Her hands slid down and began to work at his belt, coaxing the strip of leather apart.
Qui-Gon sighed shakily into their kiss, bracing himself on his elbows, and with one hand released her hair from its knot. Waves of fire cascaded onto the grass. Pulling his mouth away from hers, he ran his hands over her soft hair, pausing to twirl a tiny braid around his fingers.
Eilis found herself growing impatient. His belt finally fell slack in her hands and she tossed it to the side, slipping her hands into his loose tunics, marveling at the heat of his skin and the ripple of muscle. He groaned and brushed his lips across her neck before opening the buttons of her tunic, spreading the sides open to reveal her bare breasts. She pushed the shirts off of his shoulders and he discarded them quickly, letting his hand roam over her skin.
She moaned when he cupped her breast, his large palm tracing circles on her nipple. He nipped at her bottom lip and forged a burning line of open-mouthed kisses down her neck, ending by dipping his tongue into the hollow of her delicate collarbone. Leaving her breast, he moved down to the waist of her loose pants, sliding his hand down the front.
Eilis kicked her slippers off and lifted her hips so he could remove the barrier of silk from between them. Once gone, he plunged his hand between her legs, his fingers dipping into the dampness there. Eilis arched up at the sudden contact, her breasts brushing against his bare chest. Qui-Gon took the opportunity to plunge two fingers deep inside of her, circling his thumb over her swollen clit. He silenced her cry with his mouth, thrusting his hips helplessly against her.
Regaining a bit of self-control, Eilis slid her hands under the soft wool of his pants. She squeezed his ass, swallowing his groan, and slipped a hand around to grip his cock lightly. Qui-Gon broke his mouth free and sucked in a hard breath. Eilis pushed her body against him, rolling him over onto his back, and tugged his pants down to his knees. She decided that removing his boots would take too much time, and she would go insane if she tried. "Now," he groaned, his voice rough with desire.
Eilis straddled him, brushing her wet folds against his straining erection, rubbing her clit along the ridge under his head. He grabbed her hips and forcefully stopped her movement. He lifted her slightly, and she reached down between them to guide his cock to her entrance.
She closed her eyes, willing her body to relax, and began to take him in slowly. The broad head of his erection pushed at the resistance her human body held, and his eyes suddenly flew open. Hers met them and before he could voice a protest, she drove herself down onto him. Her muscles caught with pain for only a second, and then she was reveling in the sensation of fullness, completion.
The knowledge that he was the first man to possess Eilis in this way made the act even more intense for Qui-Gon. He sucked in an unsteady breath, regaining some control, and slowly began to thrust up into her. She braced her hands on his broad chest, her head dipping forward. Amazingly intense pleasure radiated out from her hips, making her shudder and moan.
Qui-Gon let his hands leave her hips, running them up her body. He worshipped every inch of her naked skin, indulging himself in the sheer decadence of making love. Her skin felt softer than the finest silk in the galaxy, and he felt like he was touching some ancient goddess, giving himself over to her whims.
‘I give myself to you,’ her thoughts said to him.
Qui-Gon groaned and rolled her over onto her back, settling himself back into the vee of her legs. She wrapped her legs around his waist and he plunged back into her. This time, they both refused to simply luxuriate in the feel of each other’s bodies. They began to rush headlong toward the inevitable.
Qui-Gon wrapped one arm around her shoulders, hauling her closer to him, and let his other hand wander over her breast, sliding her nipple between his fingers. Eilis gasped, pressing her hips more fully against his. Her clit ground against the rough hair at his groin, and she felt her center contract almost painfully. She muffled her wail against his neck, blinding waves of pleasure crashing over her.
He thrust harder and faster, until his hips felt like a blur, and then he came, head thrown back, teeth clenched and eyes tightly shut. He could feel her orgasm, rippling around his throbbing cock, surrounding him until it became an all-encompassing supernova.
Eilis forced her eyes open and gazed up at his pleasure contorted face. She felt him pouring out into her, flooding her with wetness and heat. His eyes met hers and their surroundings seemed to disappear. It was just the two of them, floating in a void where only they existed, and he could see her for what she really was.
And then the tide crested, leaving them both weak and flushed. Qui-Gon slowly pushed himself up on shaking arms, leaving a burning kiss on her lips. "Come back to the city with me," he whispered, "Stay with me."
"Always," Eilis whispered back, "I will always stay with you."
