"You chose this woman? This Yuli Velera? She lied, deceived her way to get here and you chose her? She's not even from a reputable family or high born for that matter."
Din leaned forward in his throne, igniting the Darksaber and holding it almost bored...the unspoken threat hanging in the air. "Neither am I. Now do you have a legitimate reason for me not taking her for my wife?"
"No-no, my Manda'lor."
He stands then, holding the saber at his side.
"Now all of you listen and listen good. Yuli Velera will be my wife...my queen. And I will kill anyone who tries to stop me."
He turns off the blade and stalks from the room, his cape sweeping into the air.
Silence follows him.
When the door closes behind him he takes a shaky breath, holds it for a moment before releasing it in a rush.
"Well that went well."
"I cant keep doing this, Talur. Every time I'm pulled away from her...its makes me agitated and it's getting worse the closer we get to the day."
"The nest is prepared and ready. How long will it take before they hatch?"
"Another two weeks. And not all of them are going to hatch."
"The last one?"
He nods, "I'm worried about that one the most. Even with all the preparation, it still hurt her. I want my clutch safe but I also want her to be safe too. Set up a visit from the doctor. We should be ready for anything."
Talur sighed heavily, "you're worried she'll become eggbound?"
"If she does, at least we will have prepared for it."
"I'll send the holo immediately. Take a break, go to her. I'll bring you two lunch."
"Thanks. What would I do without your help?"
"Go straight back to bounty hunting, more than likely."
"Funny. Oh can you make sure to get some of those pallis for her. She's been craving those like crazy."
"Of course. Now go, see to your queen."
And Talur is shooing him off towards his personal rooms and he sighs, his agitation leaving with each step closer. He was protective of her yes but so damned nervous too. She had taken seven eggs and it had been her first time with an oviparous too. She had taken them so well...been so eager for it and now...now she was being pampered rather reluctantly as she wanted to do things for herself. But he would be disappointed in himself if he didn't tend to her like a good mate would.
The door was right. In front of him and he smiled behind his visor. This was the best part, seeing her, being able to just be himself. Not the Manda'lor but Din. Her lover...her mate and future husband.
He snorted, he already considered her his mate...which was practically the same damn thing. The damn council just didn't see it that way. They didn't understand what had happened because they didn't know...very few knew what he was and how he actually procreated and he wanted to keep it that way but he was also the ruler of an entire, kriffing planet which made things...problematic.
He opened the door and upon closing it immediately removed his helmet, sighing.
"Yuli?"
"In here! Come join me?"
He heard a splashing sound and grinned.
"Don't have to ask me twice. I'll be there as soon as my armor's off."
"Hurry up!"
She loved being in the bath, it helped take the pressure off her low back immensely and she always wanted him to join which led to...other activities.
Maker has that been a change for him too. He had never had this much sex before Yuli. Sure he had fooled around once or twice in a few different ports when he was still a hunter for the guild but this...he whistled low.
She was ravenous for it. Two, three times, sometime four...and just in the last three days. His tentacles were just as eager as she was and he wasn't complaining one bit. It was getting to become a daily ritual for them. Wake up, take a bath, fuck, get out, eat breakfast, fuck again. Then he left for business, then lunch, sometimes they would fuck after, sometimes not as she sometimes took naps after lunch.
But then when night time hit, him and the tentacles would take their time with her and slowly...slowly work her into orgasm at least twice before falling asleep, his hand clutching her swollen belly.
He was stressed from today's meeting and what better way to relieve that stress then taking a bath with one's mate and possibly fucking them senseless.
His hands moved quick to remove his armor, setting each piece gently onto the table just outside the bathroom. He could hear her softly humming and it gave him a strange idea...he wondered...
He would have to see if she would be open for that...he had never tried it before...never wanted to try it before.
