Author's note: My apologies for the long delay in getting this chapter out. Final exams and other life issues imposed a rather heavy case of writer's block on me for awhile, but hopefully that has passed! Enjoy!
Chapter 7 – Homecoming
Breaking down camp was quick work for Jacen and Star. By mid-day, they had everything packed into the shuttle and were ready to go. Their last task was to traverse the obstacle course Jacen had run during his first day on planet, resetting each of the waypoints so that they would be functional for Star's next training mission.
"Let's split up," Star suggested. "I'll take the first half, you take the second half. We'll finish earlier that way."
"Good idea," Jacen said, stripping off his shirt after remembering that the second half of the course involved a lot of climbing and jumping. "I'll meet you back here when I'm done?"
"Sounds good," Star told him. "I'll probably get back a little before you do, so just head for the shuttle if you don't see me."
The two took off into the jungle, searching for the small black boxes. As Jacen ran through the trees, he reflected on everything that had transpired during the week and acknowledged that, in addition to having more sex than he had ever had in one week, he felt much more in tune with the Force. The leaps and bounds that were difficult for him when he first ran the course came naturally, as if the Force were a mere extension of his legs and arms. He reset the way points sequentially, until finally he reached the last one – the one overgrown with vines, covered with bright flowers.
Jacen chuckled to himself. Did Star intentionally send him along on the last leg of the course? Slightly amused, Jacen contemplated his options. Sure, covering himself in nectar from the Flower of Paradise would make their trip home quite interesting. On the other hand, Jacen didn't particularly feel like having to cleanse himself of all that sticky nectar before getting back home. Standing a safe distance from the vines, Jacen extended his hand and closed his eyes. He reached out beyond the vines, through all the plant life to the metallic black box below. He flipped a switch with the Force, and a small red light began to blink. Satisfied, Jacen turned to leave.
Then he stopped. A second thought struck him, and he turned back toward the cluster of vines. He pulled a small capsule from his belt, an empty food capsule that he had been carrying around until it could be refilled. He popped the top off the capsule and carefully approached the Flower of Paradise. He selected a single vine and snapped it. The plant bled from its fresh wound, dripping sweet sap. Jacen brought the vine to the food capsule, letting the sticky fluid fill the capsule. Once that one was expended, he filled another, and another. His task finished, Jacen released the vine and looked at the small amount of nectar that was on his fingers. He shrugged, and then wiped the fluid off around his neck. He felt his skin tingle a little bit, but there wasn't quite enough of the nectar to affect him beyond that.
Jacen clipped the three food capsules back onto his belt and headed toward the jungle clearing, toward the waiting shuttle. He could hear the sublight engines running already as he approached, so he picked up the pace and ran up the boarding ramp. He headed to the cockpit, where Star was waiting at the controls.
"Run into any problems?" Star asked, looking over her shoulders as she closed the ramp.
"None whatsoever," Jacen replied, settling into the co-pilot's seat. "We ready for take-off?"
"We are now – strap yourself in!"
The shuttle gave a lurch as it lifted itself against the planet's gravity. The vessel took off vertically, rising above the tree line. Star then angled the ship's nose upward, and with the flip of a switch, the shuttle rocketed into the atmosphere. Jacen and Star were briefly pressed back into their seats as the ship streaked through the clouds. When they broke clear of the planet's gravity, Star allowed herself a chuckle.
"What?" Jacen asked, looking over at her.
"Just wondering what it would be like, getting fucked right here during take-off."
"You like being pressed against things?"
"The ground, walls, chairs...," Star sighed. "Mmmmmm."
Jacen just shook his head and laughed. Star pushed a few buttons on the control panel, and for a few moments the only sound in the shuttle was the humming of the engines and the occasional beeping of the instruments.
"Okay, I've got the hyperjump coordinates laid in," Star said. "The main navigational route is full of traffic, probably from returning students and their masters. We'll take a side-route – it's a bit longer, but we should get home about the same time."
Star pulled a lever. The stars outside the cockpit streaked into lines, and the shuttle was gone. Jacen leaned his head back on the seat. He closed his eyes, feeling the subtle vibrations of the shuttle as it raced through hyperspace. He thought about getting home, taking a hot shower for the first time in a week, eating real food, sleeping in a real bed...
Before long, the exertions of the previous week had caught up to Jacen and he was fast asleep in his seat. As he slept, he again dreamed of Eryn. She was sleeping, too, but in her bed. In his dream, Jacen appeared to approach her from above, circling around her like a bird. She was lying on top of a thin sheet, completely naked. Eryn rolled over slowly as Jacen watched, her toned thighs falling open to reveal her neatly trimmed strip of pubic hair, pointing the way to something more. Jacen descended, settling his gaze between her legs. Her pussy lips were slightly spread, like a delicate flower just beginning to bloom. Jacen slowly reached out a hand to touch her, watching as his fingers drew closer and closer to her vagina. Somewhere in the distance, he could hear a quiet beeping. It got louder and louder, until suddenly his dream shattered.
"Ughh," Jacen groaned, opening his eyes a little bit. He could see the red light flashing on the instrument panel. "What is that?"
"Sorry," Star said, reaching over to silence the alarm. "The computer was telling me I needed a slight course correction."
"Stupid computer," Jacen grumbled.
"If you're tired, you could go sit in the passenger area," Star suggested. "The alarms aren't as audible back there."
"Good idea," Jacen said hoarsely, unbuckling his straps.
He didn't realize until he stood up that he was hard. As Star suppressed a laugh, Jacen glanced at the chronometer.
"How long was I out?" he asked, hoping to change the subject.
"Awhile," Star said, playing along. "We only have about an hour or so left."
Jacen walked awkwardly to the passenger section, his pants tenting slightly from the hard-on beneath. He flopped down in the first row of seats and closed his eyes, but he couldn't get back to sleep, unable to get the image of Eryn out of his head. He closed his eyes again, but this time without the intention of sleeping. He reached out into the Force, through the rapidly shortening distance between him and Coruscant. He followed the lines of influence in the Force back to the source of Eryn's influence, reaching out through walls of stone and layers of clothes until her soft womanhood was again before him. He reached out his hand again, this time touching the warm skin. He slowly ran his fingers up and down the narrow slit, watching her pussy lips part under his touch. The soft flower opened further as Jacen continued. His fingers became wet from her moisture.
In the middle of her lecture on diplomacy, Eryn gasped softly and her back arched as she sat straight up in her chair. Fortunately she was in the back of the room, her gasp just beyond her instructor's audible perception. But that didn't change the fact that she was, sitting there in the most boring of boring classes, getting wet. Her vagina tingled, sending gentle shockwaves of pleasure throughout her pelvis. Eryn bit her lower lip, trying to focus on what the woman at the front of the room was saying about negotiations. Her pussy seemed to have a mind of its own, getting wetter and wetter despite her intentions.
Jacen smiled. He could see Eryn's tight entrance now, glistening with wetness. Her inner and outer lips were swollen and puffy, almost holding themselves open for him. Her clitoris had become visible as well. The small nub of flesh seemed to call out to him, begging to be touched. Who was he to deny it that much?
Eryn suppressed a squeal as she grabbed the edges of her desk tightly. When the urge to cry out passed, she let her mouth drop open, almost gasping for air. What was her body doing? Her lecture had faded into the background by now. Her mind was rapidly being consumed by the need for sex. One hand dropped between her legs and she pressed herself against the palm, feeling the heat radiating from her pussy. As she looked around the room frantically, desperately searching for a fellow Asirian who might be willing to escape class and join her in relieving the sudden urge, Eryn regretted wearing tight pants that morning.
Jacen was just about to slip one finger into Eryn's opening when he was interrupted by Star's voice.
"Hey, what's going on back here?"
Jacen's eyes snapped open and he looked around. Star was standing at the entrance to the passenger area, staring intently at his crotch. When he looked down, he saw that his erection had definitely made itself visible, straining arduously against his pants.
"Thinking about Eryn again?" Star asked as she sauntered toward Jacen.
"Yeah."
"Well, we've got about twenty minutes left before we enter Coruscant airspace," Star said, standing in front of Jacen and slipping out of her top. "Maybe I can help you motivate her a bit more."
As Star's breasts slipped free of her clothing, she got on her knees between Jacen's legs and began working his pants down. His penis sprang free and Star immediately captured it in her mouth. Jacen closed his eyes and settled into his seat, reaching out with his mind and finding Eryn.
Eryn breathed a sigh of relief as she tried to focus her mind back onto the lecture. The deluge of sensation from her genitals had been unexpected, and even though it had stopped she had difficulty thinking about anything but sex. But as she tried to focus on the instructor, her vision faded away into darkness. In the blackness, Eryn felt something warm pressing at her lips. Almost instinctively, she parted her lips and took it into her mouth, feeling its warmth as it pulsated against her tongue and mouth. Her tongue traced its shape, which she recognized quickly. Somehow, her mind lost any thought of the fact that she had been in class just moments before. The lust that had been building inside of her, coupled with the remnants of passion from Jeena's visit, spilled over and she indulged herself hungrily.
Star's head bobbed up and down between Jacen's legs. She slurped and sucked loudly, making sure Jacen could hear her. She stopped occasionally to run her breasts up the length of the hard rod, trailing her own saliva all over her chest. She could hear Jacen groaning and murmuring under Star's attention.
"Don't stop sucking me, Eryn," he moaned.
Star smiled and lowered her head again.
'Lucky girl,' she thought as she sucked him back into her mouth.
"Oohhh, Eryn... Eryn..." Jacen whispered.
Eryn could hear a voice moaning her name as she suckled the hard cock in her mouth. She strained her ears, listening. Jacen?
"Eryn...," the voice was hoarse, masculine. "Aahhh, suck me Eryn... Eryn..."
Eryn sucked harder and faster, and she was rewarded by more repetitions of her name. Slowly though, it became higher, more feminine. Suddenly, the darkness was pulled away and Eryn sat upright in her seat. Someone was shaking her shoulder and calling her name.
"Eryn! Eryn?"
Eryn looked over and saw a friend with curly blonde locks peering down at her.
"Lorna?" Eryn said, suddenly aware that class was out and people were leaving.
"Hey, you okay girl?" Lorna asked. "You're really out of it."
"I, I'm fine, just a little tired," Eryn lied.
She quickly clamped her legs shut, realizing that she was soaking through her tight cotton pants.
"Okay then," Lorna said. "You wanna come get something to drink with us?"
"I think I'm going to go home," Eryn said, acknowledging that she should probably change her clothes. "I'll meet you at the diner, though."
