It was Obi-Wan's favourite memory, always.
Sometime in the height of the unrelenting Clone Wars Obi-Wan accompanied Padmé as her bodyguard to a remote area of Naboo so she could attend to the tedium of war and politics. The Senate felt a guardian necessary for Padmé as threats to her life always loomed, and it was by Anakin's personal request that Obi-Wan was given the assignment. General Skywalker had been called to the front and, knowing that Padmé and his Master were close friends, he secured the arrangement with the Council. The posting was perhaps a poor use of Obi-Wan's talents, but he'd earned a rest from battle fatigues, and he secretly warmed at the thought of time in the Lake Country, of time with Padmé - even if she did come along with Jar Jar (bless him). There had always been stirrings between he and the doughty senator Amidala, faint whispers of a connection drawn out against the backdrop of this reckless war. A complicated and delicate balance indeed, but such were the times.
A particularly sultry summer night fell on the High Lakes, chunky grasses hung heavy with sweaty dew whilst lake waters rippled against the craggy forms of mountains in the high night sky. The air was hot and thick and stirring with throaty frog songs that resonated from below the balcony. On this particular night the triplette moons of Naboo were luminous, speckled, and unusually large, keeping the night awake inside Obi-Wan. Suspended in time he pensively lit a cigarette, a tiny bright orb ignited in the darkness as he inhaled slowly, obscuring momentarily his vision in a thin veil of smoke. Moments passed, Obi-Wan pulled generous drags as he breathed in the peaceful night, trying to dull the tumult of his mind. "Shiiiit" he said said softly aloud on a deep exhale after a time. Obi-Wan looked upward to the moons, but they offered no reply.
Throughout this assignment Obi-Wan had been patiently guarding the political entourage as they argued and spat at each other, made calls, wrote up treaties only to rip them in half, revised trade agreements, and indulged in endless pageantry. Always alert to danger and intrigue, he and Padmé had occasionally found delicious, quiet moments together - a walk in the gardens, a coffee, eye contact that lingered, a safety briefing, a friendly good-night kiss, and one intoxicating dance at a welcome reception for a Twi'lek aristocrat. On that night Padmé had worn a dress with an exposed back; he placed his hand on her sacrum, pressing his unsmooth palm against her freckled skin while they danced decorously with their bodies slightly closer than required. The memory of that touched lived in his hand. When the song ended Obi-Wan brushed a piece of her hair behind her ear. She met his eyes, smiling kindly, but they were interrupted by Jar Jar. "Fucking stupid piece of stanky-ass, baby-talking sleemo swamp-shit," Obi-Wan had thought in the moment, but he felt ashamed and never thought it again. He bought Jar Jar a big fish at the market the next morning to ease his guilty conscience, but for the Gungan it meant they were now bonded at the soul, as was the way with senator Binks, (bless him).
Whilst the hustle and bustle of time passed in the High Lakes, flashes started to come into Obi-Wan:
*He and Padmé would cross each other in an empty hall, connecting eyes. He would grab her by the waist, press her against the wall, and feel her red mouth with his tongue. She would search his mouth back. He would lift her skirt to find her pussy uncovered. She would moan "Obi-Wan," while he would finger her. "I want you" he would say, "please let me in," and she would. Or he would eat Padmé's pussy, fully burying his face in her labia and scented curls. She would buck with pleasure and he would hold her firmly with his rough hands. He would slip a finger into her ass. He would suck and flick her clit until she squirted on his face. Afterwards he would kiss her belly while she stroked his back. He would do anything she asked.*
Even in the mornings the flashes would wake him with a throbbing erection:
*He would wake up beside a warm body, Padmé's. She would smile and slyly grind against his half-chub as they spooned. She would slip beneath the covers to take his dick in her mouth then climb on top and ride him, taking all of him, sheathing him, invaginating him, swallowing him alive. "Oh fuck, oh fuck, Padmé, Padmé!" he would call out as they came together on her hardest pounce. She would collapse onto his chest with his member still inside her. He would hold her with both arms so she felt safe.*
Being the dignified and restrained man that he was, Obi-Wan had tried to control these thoughts to the best of his abilities. He jerked-off in the mornings, trained vigorously, fasted until he felt faint, meditated, washed in cold water, apologized, didn't apologize, spoke to his ancestors, thwarted assassinations, levitated, took draughts of expensive whisky, prayed to the old Gods and the new, went for walks, held stake outs, or just gave into his goddamn body-yearnings, yet still sleep evaded him. That night it was Padmé's chestnut hair he could not stop ruminating about, so he left the torment of his empty bed to smoke on the balcony. Padmé had worn her hair loose that day, billowing out in waves so that it was all he could do to stop from touching her curly, perfumed locks. "This is her fault," he thought, "she knows what she's doing to me," but it was a false anger that easily crumbled. He took another drag as he sorted through his thoughts.
Had he imagined it all? Afterall, he had seen glances, touches between her and Anakin, so how could he, plain and steady Obi-fucking-Wan-Kenobi really compare? "Stupid idiot," he whispered to himself. He took another pensive drag in the hot and sticky night. "I'm nothing to her" he thought dangerously, but a warmth came into him, embers stirred in the dead of a winter's night, as he recalled that time she had silently taken his hand as they walked along the lake shore. That time she confided in him when Anakin had spoken poorly to her. That time she rested her head on his shoulder during a long-haul hyperspace flight. That time they locked eyes at the victory celebration in Theed. He would not deny his intuition.
*She would be on all fours, head low, ass up. Her pussy lips would fold open in full view, for him. He would tease her with the tip of his cock until she was dripping with pearly, viscous liquid. She would beg him to put it in. He would hold her hips and fall into her depths from behind. He would do it for forever if she wanted it.*
Obi-Wan took one last pull and tossed his burnt cigarette over the balcony into the void. "Shiiiiit."
In the deep recesses of his mind and bones Obi-Wan sensed he loved Padmé, it was undeniable, but also unsayable. Complicated. Delicate. Obi-Wan knew that protecting Padmé would always be a task at hand, especially given Anakin's spilling interest in her. Yes, Obi-Wan would need to be near her, always. But did she want Anakin back? No, if she did, that was her choice, she was grown, she had her own mind and destiny, he told himself. Padmé's freedom was not anyone's to give her. But Anakin was reckless, jealous at times, difficult to control. Anakin was loose and fast, gritty, gruff, and unrefined, prone to instability. Obi-Wan felt a tinge of disgust at the thought of Anakin touching Padmé, but Anakin was a Jedi brother, his student, and his responsibility, so there we were. The frog nation abruptly stopped their singing.
Then he heard them: faint footfalls. This is where Obi-Wan loved to start replaying this bright burning memory. His breath stopped at the place between heart beats. Which Gods had sent her?
"Padmé?" he said without looking, not daring to move.
She froze in place behind him. "How did you...?"
He gave no reply, but continued looking to the moons. Padmé looked at his thick, shaggy hair that was slightly overgrown, his powerful shoulders, his trim waist, his low-back dimples; she took in his nakedness from the waist up, his lean and hairy body in the light of three phosphorescent moons. Padmé suddenly became aware of the solitude she had interrupted.
