Note: Scraping or Gua Sha is an ancient Chinese medical treatment to discharge coldness and release negative energies. It can also break up pockets of lactic acid in the body that cause tension and pain. The treatment often causes large purple red bruises on the patient which are temporary. Often scraping is done using a coin, bone spoon or even the cut edge of an animal horn.
I have taken liberties with the story line following the Battle of Endor. For those Star Wars aficionados, please do not expect my descriptions to be canon.

Leia stretched her lean but petite body, waking slowly under the satin sheets she insisted upon. Han cared nothing about such luxuries but gave in to her indulgences. Her hand slid across the bed to Han's spot. Upon finding it cold and empty, called out sleepily, "C3P0, has Han left?"
The golden droid snapped to attention where he waited patiently in the corner to do his mistress' bidding. "Oh my, yes, Mistress Leia. He left quite some time ago. Master Chewbacca and Master Han were called to a briefing by the Republic Army's general. I do believe they will be soon going out on a mission to the Outer Rim." Han had not officially joined the Republic Army since the foundation of the New Republic, but worked for them both as a diplomat at times and also as a mercenary. His days as a smuggler during the Imperial reign served him well now in a mercenary role. The Millennium Falcon, now completely overhauled and updated compliments of the New Republic, had become one of the most feared ships in the galaxy.
"Why didn't you wake me?" she demanded, annoyed.
"Master Han gave me strict orders to let you sleep as long as you wanted." the droid responded, wobbling to the bed on stiff legs. "He said you had a long day training at the Temple yesterday and wasn't expected to be back there today." Upon Leia's grunt, he continued, "He also said you worked out for several hours last night."
Leia had taken part in a grueling training session with her brother Luke yesterday. He had completed his Jedi training long before she even accepted she was Force sensitive as well. While she had no interest in becoming a full Jedi, Luke, after much convincing on his part, began training her in the ways of the Force. Her duties as Minister of State of the New Republic were essentially diplomatic, but the Jedi training kept her physically fit, an attribute she took great pride in, as well as helped her focus her mind during negotiations with ambassadors of worlds who had been sympathetic to the Empire.
Her arms and legs ached and her back was riddled with knots. Not only did Luke put her through the paces yesterday afternoon, Han showed no mercy in their "work out" last night. Han's emissions, mixed with her own, clung dried to Leia's inner thighs and fine hairs on her mound. Her inner core still throbbed dully.
Although Han had refined somewhat upon his new roles in the Republic and as a Princess' husband, he continued to maintain his rough, smuggler persona in private. Perhaps weary of checking his words and actions during the day in his diplomatic role, at night often Han spoke and acted unedited. This was especially true in the bedroom, where he delighted in taking an aggressive role to Leia's softer side. Last night was no different. No sooner than Leia donned her sheer silk chemise and brushed her long chestnut hair before a much needed sleep, Han appeared, loud, slightly dirty, and still clothed in his standard "uniform" of dark denim pants, white wrinkled cotton shirt and bantha leather vest.
"I hope you didn't meet the ambassador to Garsala in that." Leia quipped, much more acidly than she anticipated -- a habit she had tried in vain to break.
Wordlessly, he swept her into his arms, carried her across the room, and unceremoniously plopped her on the bed before covering her petite frame with his larger muscled one, pinning her arms to her side with calloused hands. Leia was stronger than she appeared, thanks to years of playing the tomboy as a child, fighting Imperial forces and her recent Jedi training. She could easily use her toned body and the Force to push Han off her if she wished.
What she desperately needed was sleep, but one heavy forceful kiss from Han revived her enough that pushing him off her was the last thing on her mind. She allowed him to take control of her, forcing his tongue in to her mouth. He pulled away before she could respond, "Watch it,
Princess
," he growled, running a hand down her side almost savagely.
Leia's body responded by rising to meet Han's touch as much as the weight of his body would allow. He grinned wildly, groping the edge of her chemise near the bust line. He pulled at the fabric hard, snapping the thin straps at the shoulders. "Nerf-herder!" Leia exclaimed, pushing Han off at last. "This is the third gown you've destroyed this month."
"If you wouldn't spend so much of Daddy's money (meaning the late Senator Bail Organa) on trivial things like silk nighties and satin sheets....." Han started. Leia covered his mouth with hers, not letting him finish his sentence.
