Part Twelve

Galaxa had already been warned twice by Anakin not to do what she was planning to do. She had passed Acaciah this morning on her way down the stairs at Geo’s home, and brushed by her as if not seeing her. She knew Acaciah would try to stop her.

* Gal, don’t do it. * Acaciah pathed as her eyes widened in horror. Galaxa glanced at her, her eyes burning with the inferno within.

* See you tonight. * Galaxa had answered and continued on her way.

But she had been set on fire and nothing would quench her thirst to say her piece. She was emboldened, wearing a dark green cloak with her hood drawn over her head.

Galaxa walked swiftly through the Temple toward the Council room. She passed Padawans and Knights alike, a soft murmur rising behind her in a wave. She was not even trying to shield her feelings. Her former masters would be quite displeased. Most of the Temple was in shock when news of her departure reached them. Galaxa had always been a model of Jedi behavior, and a pillar of the Organization for her peers. It was simply shocking that she would leave, and caused many Jedi to wonder about what made her do something like this, asking some harsh questions about the Order at the very least.

As she reached the door to the Council room, it flew open. They had, of course, known she was coming. She entered the room and threw back her hood, standing in the center of the medallion on the floor. Anger coursed through her veins as she tried to control her emotions in order to say what she needed to.

It was Yoda who spoke first. “Say it, you must, Galaxa Tri Sephone. Felt you, we have.”

Galaxa trembled with fury as she spoke. She had never told them personally of her leaving the Order- it was something M had mysteriously taken care of. The Dark Woman had been the facilitator from the beginning for Gal, and she had warned her never to return to the Temple. But of course, she had anyway, and was not quite sure what to expect.

“I have come to say one thing, and that is all,” she stated acidly.

“And if we hear it,” Mace responded, leaning over in his chair, “You need to answer some questions for us. We need to know from your own mouth- why you would abandon the Order- why you, of all people?”

Well that just sliced it for Gal. She stepped forward and gave a venomous look at her own former Master, Adi Gallia, then to each Master in turn.

“Why I have left the Order? “ she boomed. Galaxa paced in a vertical line, then threw back her cloak from her shoulders and huffed angrily,” I have come to ask you why you denied my true identity! Why have you kept the Prophesy a secret from me?”

Yoda sighed deeply and closed his eyes, sinking back in his chair. The others allowed a slight murmur of whispers to rise as they talked to each other.

Mace immediately attempted to dismiss the rest of the members in the room. “We would have a word with Galaxa in private chambers.”

“No- you will NOT, Master Windu. I have nothing I care to hear from the Council anymore. You have betrayed one of your own and I wanted to let you know that you have made a grievous error in judgment in doing so!” she snarled.

“Galaxa!” A voice boomed ominously. It was so astounding that a hush fell over the room. It was Morgaine.

Immediately humbled, Galaxa bowed her head and iced her hot fury.

“Leave this place, Galaxa.” She commanded, then added a path, * I told you never to return *.

* I apologize, Master, * she pathed back to her and walked out hurriedly.

The Dark Woman silently regarded the Council as the uproarious state of the room resumed at Galaxa’s departure.

Yoda spoke to Morgaine. “Meet in private chambers, we will.”

Galaxa pulled her cloak on and walked quickly toward the door of Geo’s palace. As she burst through the door, she saw Anakin coming to meet her. A deep scowl on his face, he kept coming toward her, the menace rolling off him in waves. She began to backpedal until she had hit the wall, fear creeping into her heart.

“Did I tell you NOT to confront them, Galaxa?” Anakin pushed her to the wall so hard that she banged her head and yelped. Galaxa tried to look down but he grabbed her chin with his hand and jerked her face to look at him. “What did I tell you?” he hissed. “Answer me!”

Galaxa looked at him insolently, now growing angry, who did he think he was to order her about. “What do you want from me?” she screamed. “ I am trying my best, Anakin, but you know it is really difficult for me to accept some of the aspects of this!”

Anakin sighed, suddenly calm and collected. “And that is another thing Gal,” he said as if something had occurred to him. “You will go into Geo’s chambers right now and you will stay there until you work out your differences, or at least until the morning.”

Her eyes popped open, aghast. “Hells no, Anakin!” she screamed, stamping her foot on the floor.

He continued unaffectedly, ignoring her outburst as if it had never occurred. “By then, you two should have reached some sort of understanding. Now go and get your things together and go to his room. It will be a long night, I am sure. “

“NO!” she screamed again, leering forward, her chest heaving. “There is nothing for us to work out, Anakin!”

He turned to her coldly as he spoke once more. “A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, Galaxa. And if you intend to make a commitment to us, you need to fortify your connections.”

Galaxa threw back her cloak and stared in angry silence.

“Now that we understand each other, go and settle in. I will send Geo up when I find him.”

Galaxa nodded and stormed up the stairs, barely able to control her tears.

Geo was coming up from the great room at the tail end of the conversation. He threw a vase at Anakin. "What are you doing you fool! I don't want her to hate me!" he yelled, his hands coming up to wave in the air in his agitation.

Anakin laughed aloud "My friend, that was about as useless as your lady's little temper tantrum"

“You know she won't let me come near her much less touch her! What am I supposed to do now?" Geo said in pained anguish.

Anakin’s mood shifted, and he began to laugh at his desperate friend. “You’re the criminal mastermind, buddy, you figure it out. Now get up there.” With that he walked away, with Geo in tow, moaning.

***

Geo’s master suite was furnished as opulently as the rest of the house. All of the furnishings were white, black and red, with only the finest of fabrics on the couches and bed. The ceiling was a large domed skylight. Walking from the master bath, he had withdrawn the specially made curtains with a tap on a panel of buttons, and threw himself onto one of his plush couches. He was expecting Gal to defy Anakin, not really believing she would come to his bedroom and talk things out.

But he was wrong.

She stormed into the room, wrapped up in a fleecy gray bathrobe. She stared at him as he reclined on the bed, drinking some Corellian Brandy as his black lounging outfit flowed freely around him.

His heart skipped a beat, seeing her there, in that state; her hair in a haphazard bun at the base of her neck, and a wild gleam in her eye. She always looked the most beautiful to him on these random moments.

“Brandy, babe?” he asked her, indicating with an empty glass in his hand.

“No, thank you.” She said coldly as she stared at him with agitation.

“OK.” He took the empty glass and threw it over his shoulder haphazardly, neither of their faces flinching as it shattered on the wall across the room.

Gal, who looked around the room as if she was looking to have a conversation with anyone other than him, then crossed the room with resignation to sit on the couch next to him, pulling out a cigarette. “Light me up, Geo.” She commanded. Geo smoothly retrieved his lighter from the end table and ignited it, Gal leaning in to light her cigarette. Her eyes traveled up to his as she found him looking back at her, his eyes smoldering into blackened pools of desire. Immediately, she pulled back.

Geo chuckled deeply. “There is not much to resolve is there, love?” Geo smiled as he sipped his brandy.

“Well, first of all, stop calling me that.” Galaxa snapped. “And I have nothing to say to you.”

“You know, it is okay to feel things now. You will be accepting the whole force, soon- not just the narrow Jedi viewpoint on one part of it. It is ok to embrace all of your feelings, not just particular ones. That is how you will find out who you really are.” Geo said as a matter-of-factly.

“Excuse me, you are to be telling me about the Jedi Order’s principles when you never even step foot on Temple grounds?”

“Yes, well, it is a surprise to me, Gal, that they never picked up on my energy- I was in Coruscant my whole life.”

“Well, wonders never cease” Galaxa answered him snottily. “You were obviously shielded from the High Ten by someone or something- they must have known who you were.”

Geo sighed. “Perhaps,” he paused. “One day, I will find out everything…as will you, about your family.”

“Whatever, Geo-what does this have to do with us?”

“It has always had everything to do with us, babe,” Geo said sarcastically. “Remember?” his tone became caustic. “’The Jedi and the Crime lord?’ Or how about, ‘what do you know about love’ or maybe you will remember this one- ‘being a Jedi defines me, why can’t you understand that, Geo?“ He was mocking her, Geo’s voice rising as he paced throughout the room, beginning his diatribe.

“That goddamn order was what kept you from me- those narrow minded idiots who think they know the will of the divine force- how dare they claim to have such noble principles when they deny half of the things that the Force represents?”

Galaxa had automatically sealed herself from feeling anything at his words. The second he began reiterating their old arguments, she closed herself up. She strode over to the other brandy glass, on the end table. Suddenly, she needed a stiff drink. She went to it and Geo silenced himself, watching her empty the glass in one deep swill.

“Would you care for more brandy, love?” Geo asked sardonically.

“Nope. Can we go to sleep, Geo? I can’t do this tonight.” Galaxa implored.

He marveled at the way her mood had changed. She was a perpetual enigma to him. A spontaneous grin spread across his features as he shook his head in amazement. “But we haven’t talked about anything yet. I believe you are still in denial.”

This time it was Galaxa’s turn to smile. “Denial?” she parroted, laughing, the brandy going to her head as she held her glass out for Geo to refill it.

“I thought you didn’t want any,” Geo said as he grabbed the decanter from the bar and crossed the room to her.

“Being around you makes me need a drink,” Galaxa said flatly before she downed the glass again.

Geo laughed, taking a sip straight from the bottle. His gaze settled on her lips as she spoke to him, asking him for a bit more. But he wasn’t listening to her; he was just watching her delicious mouth move. He thought of how sweet she would taste, the brandy lingering on her tongue. He could get drunk on her kisses.

“Geo! I am going to bed, did you hear me!” Galaxa was shouting at him, now more than a little tipsy. “We’ll just tell Anakin we worked it out. He would never believe me if I went to my own room this early.”

He cleared his throat and gestured for her to do as she pleased, again shocked at how quickly the alcohol affected her. What he did not see was the small smile tugging at her lips as she walked away from him.

He watched her as her the sound of her padded footsteps on carpet carried her to the opposite side of the bed that he slept on. She slid under the covers and rolled to her side. A moment later, Galaxa threw her hand in the air and force closed the lights.

“Ok,” Geo said absently in the moonlit room. “Goodnight?” His softly voiced question was met with stony silence, so he too, crossed the room and slid into the bed. He rolled to his side and closed his eyes, glad that she hadn’t told him to sleep on the couch. He fell quickly into the force-induced slumber Galaxa had been responsible for. Gal’s eyes popped open and she quickly tied his hands behind his head, looping the knots sturdily through the massive wooden headboard.

Gal closed her eyes and reached in to the force, touching Geo’s mind with hers, his eyes popping open with her first gentle touch.

Then, there she was, slipping her short sleep tunic off her body. Geo stared at her, his eyes devouring her delicious body, now awakened on the astral plane. He pulled against his bonds, cursing her in fifty languages for not letting him at least being able to touch himself.

Her tongue darted out, licking her lips as she knelt on the bed beside him. Laughing softly, she thanked Anakin for giving her this delicious opportunity to finally turn the tables on the man who had been haunting dreadreams nightly for the last several weeks.

Gal leaned in to kiss him as she began to undress him, kissing each bit of newly exposed flesh as she did so. Geo shivered at her touch- responding with low groans, which sent Gal soaring to new heights of desire. She pulled off his soft silken sleep pants, bearing his considerable manhood to her searing gaze. It stood proudly at attention, eager for her touch.

Geo moaned deep in his throat as her lips closed over the tip, licking the dewy droplets of pre cum off of him. She rolled the head around with her tongue, nipping softly with her teeth on the sensitive head. Geo stiffened in pained desire, wanting to touch her. He pulled again at the bonds holding him tightly to the bed, but Galaxa had tied him well, he wouldn’t be breaking them any time soon.

She smiled. Moving up his body, she pressed her large breasts around his heated shaft, sliding it up in between the soft globes. He hissed in pleasure, hips thrusting up against her body, eyes sliding closed in his rapture.

* Look at me. * Galaxa pathed to him. His eyes popped open and stared at her in lascivious shock. She knelt above him, playing softly with her breasts, tweaking the nipples and making them harden under her fingers. She slid one hand down her taut stomach, towards her aching desire. She rubbed her clit, slipping a finger into her wetness. Geo pulled against the bonds again, thrashing with his feet to gain some leverage. Gal shook her head and pulled her fingers out of her wet pussy, sliding them into her mouth and sucking her essence off them.

Geo moaned, a deep painful sound as the bonds cut into his wrists, bringing a stinging pain. He wanted to be inside of her, fucking her like mad, feeling her contract around him as he pumped into her. She shook her head at him again, her fingers finding her wet pussy again and fucking herself with them. She ground against her fingers, feeling the hot stabs of desire beginning to radiate outwards. Leaning forward, she slid her body up next to his, draping her leg over his, caressing his rigid cock.

“Please.” Geo whispered raggedly, his hands straining against the bonds again. The bed started to creak, his exertions finally starting to take their toll on the wooden posts.

* Tell me what you want Geo? You can look all you want but the only one who can touch is me. * Galaxa pathed to him, pulling on his cock with her hand. He surged up against her grip, harder than he had ever been in his life.

“I, I want to fuck you Galaxa. I want you to ride my cock until you come screaming my name.” Geo whispered frantically, his hips bucking up against her hand.

Galaxa smiled wickedly as she breathed into his mouth as she straddled him. “What makes you think you can make me?”

“Because I have before,” Geo breathed, biting her lip hungrily before snaking his tongue into her mouth.

Gal reached up and untied one of his hands as he continued to devour her mouth. With his free hand he grabbed her nipple, rolling it between his fingers as he snapped the other bond on his own, with one mighty pull.

Gal was taken off guard as he grabbed her hips and pulled her down on top of him, groaning as he felt her hot velvety sweetness spasm around his shaft.

She could do nothing but scream in pleasure as he rocked her back and forth roughly, his hands gripping her waist tightly. Geo continued to grind her onto his shaft, eliciting more screams from her as he captured a turgid nipple in his mouth and nibbled on it gently.

“Say my name,” Geo said, the bass in his voice returning as he continued to pull her back and forth on his shaft, rubbing her clit against him, making her scream with passion.

“No,” she barely whispered, her body growing more taut with the mounting rapture. She found herself bouncing up and down on his cock as his hands left her waist and moved to cup her backside.

“My name Galaxa, I want to hear it from your lips.” Geo panted, reaching down with his thumb and teasing her clit. Galaxa screamed his name in ecstasy as she came.

“Your mine Galaxa, I told you that before and each time we are together makes it more true.” Geo said, smiling as he watched her convulse with pleasure, the waves crashing and breaking over her body as she rode his hips.

Galaxa looked down at Geo's flushed face, realizing suddenly that he was still rock hard inside of her. He grinned, picking her up off of him and getting off the bed before he grabbed her hand, pulling her up with him

"This time it’s my turn to play,” he whispered in her ear as he placed her hands on the wall
Stepping behind her, he moved closer, letting his hot breath caress her skin, raising goose bumps. Geo moved along her neck, licking and blowing, sending shivers of delight dancing down her spine. Galaxa moaned as the passion built inside of her again.

He’s right, I am his, she thought as his body pressed against hers. She could feel his hard cock pressing against her ass as he suckled gently on her neck. His muscular leg slid in between her softer ones, pushing them open wider.

Geo grabbed her hips with his hands, squatting slightly, positioning himself at her entrance. "How do you want it Gal?" he breathed into her ear, the hot pant sending spirals of delight through her body. "Hard and fast or slow and sweet?" Geo continued, his tongue licking softly at her lobe.

"Hard." Galaxa moaned, her breasts pushing into the wall as he leaned his weight against her.

“I didn’t hear you love, say it again?” Geo breathed into her ear again, rubbing his cock along her ass.

“Hard! Take me hard Geo!” Galaxa screamed, feeling his cock slide into her wet warmth roughly.

Reaching around her, he grabbed her breasts with his hands, pulling on her nipples as he slammed into her body. Galaxa screamed again as the ecstasy pulsed through her, bringing her closer to the brink.

Geo grunted against her neck as he pulled out almost completely before slamming into her again. She was panting with desire, the rapture singing along her veins as his weight pushed her into the wall.

“I’m going to come Galaxa, come with me love!” Geo roared into her ear as he slammed into her again, his fingers pulling hard on her nipples.

Galaxa screamed his name again as the waves of ecstasy enveloped her, breaking and cresting over her body. Geo’s hoarse shout joined hers as they collapsed against the wall, still intimately joined.

They stood there, bodies locked together, coming back down. As their breathing returned to normal, Geo pulled away from her and spun her around to face him. “Body and soul love, forever” he whispered, kissing her softly.

Galaxa awoke with a start, rolling onto her side to watch Geo. He shook himself awake, reaching for her, forgetting that he was still bound to the bed. “Now I want to touch you for real, Galaxa.” Geo pulled against the bonds, trying to free himself. “Release me love and let me pleasure you again.”

“Not on your life Geo, we’ve been down this road before. You sleep with strangers and I sleep alone. Although, now that you’ve gotten me warmed up, I might try it your way” Galaxa whispered evilly.

Something died in his eyes at her harsh words. Geo turned his head away, looking at the wall as he felt the sharp sting of tears welling in his eyes. “Do you get some sadistic pleasure out of torturing me Galaxa?” he ground out, rolling his body away from hers.

“You make it this way, love.” Galaxa said, rising up from the bed. Geo shook himself again moments later, his rage a terrible thing to behold. He pulled once forcefully against his bonds, the wooden bedposts snapping, freeing his hands. Galaxa backpedaled from the bed, falling to the floor in shock, her hands and feet scrabbling for purchase on the ornate rug.

“You cold hearted bitch!” Geo bellowed, pulling his hands apart. The thin metal cuffs snapping with the force of his anger. As he moved towards her, Galaxa cowered in fear, cringing against the chair on the far side of the room.

“That’s quite enough.” Anakin said from the doorway, stopping Geo in his tracks.

“Gal, if you don’t behave, I am going to tie you to that bed and give Geo free rein to live out every one of his fantasies with you as the star performer.” Anakin said, his clipped tones leaving no room for argument.

Galaxa hung her head in shame, she had gone too far, and even she recognized how close she had come to pushing Geo to physical violence against her. She looked up to find Geo’s sad eyes on her and blushed crimson in mortification.

“We are the founders of a new race Galaxa. Eventually, even you must realize that this childish behavior has to end. We six shall bring forth the new destiny. Why else do you think that three women and three men were chosen? You are a healer, you do the math.” Anakin snarled, turning on his heel and leaving the two of them alone again, slamming the door in his wake.

Geo walked over to where Gal lay slumped on the floor, reaching for her hands to pull her to her feet. “Do you really hate me this much?” he asked her softly, sitting in the chair and pulling her onto his lap. She fought against him slightly, but his greater strength won out and she collapsed into his arms. Great heaving sobs wracked her body as she held her head in her hands. Geo held her tightly as she cried, the frustrations and anger of the past several weeks finally coming to a head.

“I’m sorry, Geo. I don’t hate you. I just, oh gods, why do you have to torture me?! I have cared about you since the day we met-when Anakin and Joss brought me to you. You were covered in blood but still grinning, not about to let a wound get you down. You were something that I could never be. I was bound by rules and regulations and certainly not able to experience love, at least not the way a girl dreams about it when they are young. All my life I have watched others fall in love and have a real life while I was stuck in the Temple. When I finally had my chance I ran from it.. And you just wouldn’t let me forget- does that make any sense?” Galaxa ended softly, her voice barely above a whisper, peeking up at him through her fingers.

Geo’s eyes caressed her face, understanding why she had been pushing against him for so long. “Whenever you are ready to accept me, I will be there” he brushed a soft kiss against her cheek and moved them to the bed. Geo settled her gently on one side before moving over to the other to lie down next to her, turning on his side away from her and tried to sleep.

It was a long time coming for both of them.
