A Land Where Love Never Dies

[Lumi Snow]

The beach. Lumi was as blind as they came but it felt so good. The sun, the air, and the sweet feeling of the sand under her feet. She could hear the wind whisper in her ears, feel it caress her skin, billow through her hair, and consume her being.

Chroma Zed truly was an amazing planet.

The half-Mirlaku experienced all these wonderful sensations, the wind, the sand, the sun, as she stepped out of their transport and onto the beach. She raised her face to the sun and let its golden rays caress her skin.

Her skin. She was showing a bit more than she usually did. And by a bit more--there was a lot more exposed than normal.

Her perky and slender upper body was only clad with a scanty black string bikini top. Her exposed skin was fawless except for a small white line under her left rib cage. Her lithe legs were only barely covered by a white miniskirt made from a small towel she had tied around her waist. With each step it showed her exposed leg, all the way up to the matching lower bikini piece. A small turquoise tattoo of a butterfly marked her left calf in a gallant and gorgeous display of color.

The girl wore thick dark sunglasses. Not for herself, obviously, but to flirt with her Zenva.

Zenva. They hadn't been together for a few weeks now and the Zabrak had become everything to her. Their time together never seemed to last long enough. Their nights were passionate, and their days when they had time, were blissful. She knew the Matron had to do her work, and couldn't give her ever second of the day, but still, Lumi preferred to be in the same room with her, even as the other woman had to do paperwork or other menial tasks. But now, the woman was hers all hers for the weekend. It was almost enough to make her burst, but certainly enough to elicit an excited squeal as she spun on the ball of her foot.

"The beeeeaaacccch!" she squealed again, "Zenva, the beach!"

Her face broke out in a wide smile as she grabbed her lover's hand. Yes, she was blind, but she could feel where Zenva was always. Their telepathic connection had been growing steadily stronger over the days, she could reach over when she needed to and calm her love's rages and help her feel better. That always made her feel so important.

But now there would be no tempers, no worries, and she had her all to herself! The idea made her hop up and down again with a squeal. It was becoming increasingly apparent that the excitement would be taxing on her small body if Lumi wasn't careful.

"Yes love, the beach." She said calmly as she stepped down from their transport. A swath of white sands and elegant blue water for a kilometer in either direction was their's. For the weekend at least.

Zenva had rented a small townhouse and it's accompanying grounds for their little vacation. Of course small on Chroma Zed meant a sprawling mansion and dozens of acres worth of gardens, wooded trails and yes, the beach. The cost had been considerable but the excitement and happiness that lit sweet Lumi's face more than justified the expense. Despite the physical distance between them as Lumi ran out to dance across the sands, Zenva could feel the young woman's joy. A testament to the growing strength of their psychic link.

Zenva's toes sank into the warm sands, the wind catching at her skirt. A smile split the Blood Matron's coal painted lips as her lover's hand took hold of her's. Zenva's attire was somewhat more modest than her lover's for a change. A starch white bikini top stood out boldly against her bright crimson skin. A black lace shawl wrapped her hips and covered the matching bottom as well as her legs to just above the ankles. Black tribal tattoos etched her flesh across nearly her entire body. From the individual swirling patterns on her face and chest, to the massive piece that started at the nape of her neck and followed the entire length of her spine as tendrils swept and cut across her ribcage, ending finally with twin patterns that trailed down her legs to the tendons at the back of her feet.

She gave Lumi's hand a gentle squeeze and let the excited youth pull her out onto the sands.

The bareness of body was more than just for coolness in the heat, or for her love to enjoy the view--though Lumi was blind so she could not partake in such delights. It was also that she felt so free with Zenva, unafraid. For so long she had covered every inch of her skin she could to protect herself from telepathic intrusions and to keep from intruding into other's minds. But here, alone, with Zenva, there was no need to hide. The woman could have stripped bare and run across the sands and felt none the worse. Except her body was incapable of running more than a distance of 25 feet before collapsing.

The sand felt so soft and squishy under her toes. Wet and almost theraputic. Lumi's nose crinkled as she giggled in delight. Squishy. Squishy, sqqqqqqquuuuuiiiiissssshhyyyy. She let it get between her toes, burying her feet in the goldenness. A wave washed up on the sore, cleansing her feet with its cooling water.

"Describe it for me," Lumi said suddenly as she wrapped her arms around Zenva and planted a kiss on the base of her neck. It was only as high as the atrophied and under-nourished female could reach on her love. "Tell me what it looks like, sweetheart."

She let her hand explore along Zenva's back. Her skin felt so soothing and tender to the touch, like the sand only different. Smooth, but she could feel the raw power of her love's muscles just under it, like a toned rock from hours of physical labor. Her fingertips explored every muscle line on her love's back since she could not see it as Zenva spoke.

Zenva trailed behind her love, or more accurately was dragged after her. Lumi's childlike enthusiasm had consumed the small woman whole, bouncing and screeching across the sands an arm's length ahead of the stoic Zabrak. That's not to say that she wasn't excited to be here, she was. Their bond made it impossible not to feel Lumi's joy and infectious happiness but, Zenva was not one to run and play in the sand. Her playfulness would show when they were in the water. For now watching and feeling her lover's exuberance was much more beneficial for her blackened hearts. She had brought that joy to her poor frail lover. A smile spread easily across her features.

Lumi collided with her in a fierce embrace, fierce by Lumi's standard at any rate. Her arms wrapped the Zabrak's toned waistline as hands explored her back. A blush burned her already crimson cheeks. Zenva had always been a fan of showing of her curvature, enticing with tight clothes and little skirts but she had never shown skin like she did in her little bikini. They were in public by Zenva's account, even if the only things around were the trio of Zenva's personal druids that stood waiting with the transport. She was toned yes but her body was battered by decades of warfare. Her legs were always covered to hide the scars that littered her thighs. Her stomach bore puckered marks from a flechette round that had torn through her previous suit of armor. There were others, knife wounds mostly, and they were a testament to her lifetime of combat. But she couldn't help the feeling of embarrassment that washed over her as Lumi's hands traced the muscles of her back.

"Alright sweet meat." She answered, hesitantly. She wasn't eloquent by any account and she hated this little game. Oh Lumi would always say it sounded lovely or nice but she couldn't help feeling that she had done a poor job of describing the things Lumi wanted to know about.

"Come here." She took hold of her tiny little lover and turned the woman around, holding her so her back was against Zenva's belly. "Don't laugh!" She chastised, playfully. "Alright sink your toes in the sand." She instructed, stalling for time as she tried to figure out what to say that wouldn't sound like she was talking down to a five-year old.

Her voice came out low, a reserved whisper in her lover's ear. "That warm, soft sand stretches to the left and right all the way to the horizon. Endless warm beaches forever and ever." She paused as her arms wrapped Lumi in a loving embrace. "Right in front of us is the ocean. Curling waves tipped with foam throw sunlight back in every direction as they crash to shore. It stretches so far out that it mixes with the sky until it's impossible to tell where one starts and the other ends." Her lips brushed Lumi's ear as she fell silent.

Lumi sank into her Zenva's embrace, nuzzling the back of her head against the Zabrak's bosom. She felt the woman's arms wrap around her as she listened to the Zabrak's words. She smiled sweetly, cooing in delight. She hung on every word and melted into her arms. The voice that had heralded the deaths of many was so beautiful to the fragile telepath. Force, I love you so much, Zenva.

"Mmmm, Zenva," She said warmly, "Its beautiful. Almost as beautiful as you are good to me."

She leaned back and kissed her love too on the face--where she couldn't quite tell but it wasn't her lips. She began walking along the shore just enjoying her love's embrace and closeness. It elicited a warm sigh of delight from her lips. Why can't there be more days like this? It was perfect, perfectly perfect.

The sound of the water on the shore, the feeling of it all, the only thing out of place was Zenva's unease. What was wrong? Oh, she was self conscious. Lumi couldn't help but give a soft giggle. She was self conscious but Lumi was completely blind. The irony was not lost on her.

"You are perfect," Lumi said softly, "You are so beautiful, and so gorgeous. Perfect in every way."

True, she couldn't see but she had felt Zenva's body, every inch of it. It was all she needed to know to tell her love with absolute certainty that she was the most beautiful person in the galaxy. What more needed to be said? What more could be wanted? She had every ounce of Lumi's approval, adoration, and affection. Without hesitation, Lumi gave it. And she was glad for it.

[Zenva Vrotoa]

Zenva curled herself around her diminutive lover as Lumi snuggled deeper into her embrace. My Lumi. The very thought made her hearts swell. Their love for one another was mind boggling and in those moments when they were together nothing mattered beyond the frail woman she clutched to her breast. She was no wordsmith, she couldn't explain how she had fallen so easily and completely in love with her beautiful little Lumi. Luckily she was spared the need for clumsy words, their psychic bond circumvented the messy process of speaking. When their flesh met, they knew. I love you too.

Lumi's lips brushed her jaw and her blush burned deeper. "You're just saying that so I don't feel foolish." She murmured, tightening her hug briefly.

Her grip on the small woman shifted, holding her to her hip as they started to walk the shoreline. Cool waters lapped the sun baked sands they tread upon, washing over their bare feet in the process. Lumi's intricate knowledge of Zenva's moods and thoughts was brought to bare once more as the small woman started pouring on the flattery. Of course Lumi knew she was embarrassed, she knew the why too. The Zabrak uttered a wordless cry of exasperation, "Those are my private embarrassments Lumi." She wormed one lacquered nail into Lumi's side looking to extract even more of the woman's little giggles. "You would do well to keep them private." She growled playfully as her nails danced and pinched at Lumi's side, teasing her lover's tender ribs relentlessly for several moments.

They walked on for a time, simply enjoying one another's presence and the blissful sensation of skin to skin contact. Chroma Zed was beautiful and her lover's excitement for being here was some of the most intense moments they had shared. It set about a rapid series of thoughts that Zenva quickly buried under the mask of, itty bitty string bikini. Her fingers plucked at the string of Lumi's top, not to remove it but to see how the girl would react.

[Lumi Snow]

"Maybe I am," she said playfully, "maybe--"

Her statement was cut off with the sound of giggles in a cacophony of ecstasy. She tried to shimmy away, but only felt herself being pressed into it, turning her giggles into laughs and she felt her knees buckle as she nearly collapsed on the sand, had her lover not been holding her. She was busy working on catching her breath when she became aware of her love teasing the string of her bikini top.

"Zenva," she said in mock reproach. It was very much fake, but the vibrant blush that accompanied it was not in the least.

She was very very self conscious of her body, but not for the same reasons of her crimson love. The Zabrak had been a flawless example of beauty. The woman had never seen her but she knew it was true. She could hear the thoughts of others as she walked with Zenva, she knew her love was beautiful. She just wished she could enjoy it too.

No, Lumi was self conscious for different reasons. I am so skinny.

Yes, her ribs could easily be seen through her skin. Her body didn't have the toned, sensual muscles of her love. She had practically nothing more than her bones and the few fibers of being that constricted her limbs when needed or willed to do so. She had heard the scorn from others that had seen her. Even her past lovers' had thought she is so skinny but not in kind ways. Lumi brushed those thoughts from her mind. That didn't matter. This was their weekend. Time to have fun. Time to have fun, if her love wanted to see her without the top on, she would gladly take it off for her. The telepath moved to undo the knot behind her neck, behind her hair.

[Zenva Vrotoa]

Lumi's laughter was contagious and in moments Zenva was laughing with the small woman. No amount of squirming could save the poor lithe woman from the sinister nails of her lover. The pair bucked and jostled and laughed until Lumi all but collapsed against Zenva's side. Even as their laughter subsided Zenva's cheeks began to ache from smiling. Had it really been so long since she had smiled and laughed honestly that her cheeks burned after only a few minutes?

Lumi's chastisement, mock or otherwise, was ample enough reason for Zenva to pull her hand away, a sheepish smile on her coal stained lips. Sensations and emotions rolled over the Zabrak like a hurricane wave. Embarrassment. Scorn. Humiliation. Contempt. Lumi's own and memories of those who saw her. One emotion rose in Zenva's hearts in answer, anger. Her Lumi was much more than meat to be measured and weighed and that she was ashamed of her small stature left a bitter taste in the Zabrak's mouth. So lost in those thoughts and sensations was she that it wasn't until her lover's top slipped away that Zenva realized what she had provoked the woman into doing.

"Lumi!" She cried, a mixture of embarrassment and shocked laughter coloring her panicked tone. Zenva's arms immediately warped around her small lover, pulling the woman against her chest.

Her gaze snapped to the three droids following a short distance behind them. "IG-R, IG-B five hundred meter parameter. F-three return to the house and have Kil'kae prepare a picnic for Lumi and I please." The two assassin droids said nothing but moved off to obey her order all the same. The Footman nodded once, gave a polite affirmative and returned to the transport.

Once the droids were gone, Zenva released her diminutive doctor to arm's length. Her voice was still tinged with shock and embarrassment, her eyes on the other hand were busy devouring the sight of her creamy skinned lover. "Lumi. I..." A nervous laugh interrupted her. "I was teasing love." Again she gave a small nervous laugh.

Emotions beyond shock and embarrassment were already beginning to win out however.

[Lumi Snow]

Lumi discarded her top, from her hand to the sand. She could feel the desire rising in her love, almost like a buzz that was rising in intensity. Rising but not yet fully at its climax. She could imagine the face that her Zabrak was making and she could feel every inch of her body being studied, worked over, and studied again. It was almost palatable. Her lungs took a deep inhale, as if breathing in the raw hunger itself.

It felt good to be needed, but it felt even better to be wanted. Her teeth bit down softly on her lower lip. Oh, yes it felt amazing to be wanted. No one had ever really wanted her before, and not for her body. It was strange, that so many women would give a lot to be seen for more than beauty, to be seen for their personality and their intelligence. For Lumi it was the opposite. She just once wanted to feel beautiful instead of brilliant. Now she did and it felt even better than she imagined it could.

Her totally bare left shoulder gave a graceful shrug, as she said in a coquettishly innocent voice, "Oh, I know."

A rare grin of mischief forming on her lips. She wasn't known to be excessively impish but right now she was more than ok with being that way for her Zenva. Or at least she would try, and probably fail.

She brought Zenva's hand to her lips and gave it a delicate kiss, before pressing it to her chest. She could feel the bearer of the picnic come toward them, trying to hide their shock at seeing Lumi with more bare skin than covered. All that barred her body from the outside world was a small towel wrapped around her waist, and even that barely reached to her mid-thigh. It was funny how being blind meant that she less than cared for appearances of herself or others.

"Thank you dear," Lumi said giving Kil'kae a sweet smile as the basket of food was set down on the sand.

"Come," Lumi said bringing her love to the basket, "tell me what we have here," she gave her Zenva's nose a playfully reproaching tap, "and no other stuff until we eat. Afterwards, you can have whatever you want. But not yet."

She gave another smile, Whatever you want, Zenva. Anything.

[Zenva Vrotoa]

Zenva's yellow-red eyes drank in the display before her. Flawless alabaster skin glowed in the warm sun light as crimson skinned digits spread across Lumi's chest. It was intoxicating. Not just the sight of her lithe lover, albeit a glorious vision of delicate grace and innocent beauty. The sensations that accompanied her sweet lover where vivid and intense. She could feel Lumi's heartbeat beneath her palm and with it, a heady mix of emotions.

Lumi's desires were simple, pure. To be needed and wanted, not just for who she was but what she was. To be sought after for every aspect of her being. A simple desire perhaps but one that every being in the galaxy could understand and to some extent was reflected in themselves. Zenva on the other hand had much darker desires. Desires that centered around flesh and blood and an insatiable need to self-satisfy.

When their flesh met, simple skin contact, their hearts and minds merged. Their desires intermingled and Zenva knew exactly what her Lumi wanted and needed. Lumi's infinite, bone deep love for her Zabrak, it was all the sustenance Zenva would even need. To that same token Zenva's insatiable hungers would ever lust for the frail doctor, mind, body and soul.

Zenva opened her mouth to speak and Lumi turned away. Kil'kae had arrived, and much faster than the Blood Matron had anticipated. She thanked the Elite and sent her and the droid away, hopefully that would eliminate any further distractions. Mildly disheartened by the interruption Zenva joined her lover and began sifting through their picnic supplies.

With pain staking care she laid out a blanket on the sun baked sand of their private beach paradise. For a few moments she shifted the contents of their basket around, soft hums of consideration escaping her. She had the basket turned just so, preventing Lumi's limited Force sight from perceiving what might be inside.

"Well this simply won't due. You'll have to come here love." She shut the basket and motioned for Lumi to join her.

[Lumi Snow]

Lumi moved closer with a flirtatious giggle. Much closer. The woman snuggled close to Zenva, letting her bare back rest on her lover's chest. Her head leaned back, resting on the red shoulder trustingly. Her right hand ran across Zenva's scalp teasingly. If the woman wanted to play tease, then Lumi would do it. Or, well try. She had never been too good at the teasing. Part of it was because she was blind, the other was because she was much too innocent most of the time to be able to comprehend it.

It was funny how that worked, a woman who had been through so much in her life was--innocent. Despite it all, growing up in the gang-streets of Tarris, being neglected by her parents, both of her older brothers dying from gang shootings, and her sister being a prostitute, Lumi was still innocent. Perhaps there really where miracles in the galaxy.

And if there were, then Lumi knew that Zenva was her miracle. The thought brought a smile to the girl's face. Her miracle. All hers, no one to share with and no one to have to give away too.

The blind woman tilted her head slightly and let her tongue glide a line along the side of the Zabrak's neck. It was slow, intentional, and ran from the base of the neck to right under the earlobe. She gave the ear a gentle nip. Teasing. She had to try, right? She had to.

"I'm hungry," she giggled before resting back on her love.

 

[Zenva Vrotoa]

A hum of pleasure rumbled through Zenva's throat and for a time nothing existed beyond Lumi's back against her chest and the myriad of other teasing and caressing gestures being showered on her. Her lover may have been small but there was nothing in the galaxy with more warmth and caring. Zenva melted into her lover's touch, leaning heavily on the smaller woman's back. Another coo of pleasure escaped her as teeth teased her ear lobe. "Mmm. Lumi stop before I lose interest in the food."

A hunger that had nothing to do with food was already winning the struggle for control in Zenva's mind. Her hands were wandering across her lover's torso without consulting the rest of her. Why couldn't every day be like this one?

Finally she pulled her hands away from Lumi, dragging the basket closer. She turned the basket away from her lover before slipping a hand instead to pluck something out. She kept the little tidbit careful hidden in her hand as she whispered in Lumi's ear, "Close your eyes and no peeking." A small laugh ruining her otherwise serious tone. She eased back, pulling her love into a more reclined position. "Open your mouth." It was a struggle not to laugh. But when her diminutive doctor obliged her, she set a skinless grape between the woman's soft lips.

[member="Lumi Snow"]

 

[Lumi Snow]

Lumi gave a coo of delight from her love's touch. Oh it was so delicate and she enjoyed it so much. She closed her eyes and giggled. It wasn't like she could see any better with them open or close. It was all the same with her either way, after all. She settled back, all the same and opened her lips, her head on her love's shoulder.

The fruit went down and squished between her teeth, sending delicious flavor and juices through her mouth. The blind woman playfully nipped at her lover's fingers, letting her lips wrap around the fingertips and suck softly. Her teeth bore down gently, raking lines along the flesh gently as she pulled away.

As her teeth finally let the last ends of Zenva's nail go, Lumi gave a flirtatious smile. She chewed the grape down quickly and swallowed satisfied. She ordinarily was anorexic. Going days between meals, sometimes these meals would barely be anything. It was an old habit of her childhood that had never worn off. They were so poor, that often she would go days without eating. Her body had become atrophied and small from the lack of nutrition.

She smiled and gave Zenva a peck on the neck before opening her lips for the next food, "You are so good to me, Zenva. Too good to me."

[Zenva Vrotoa]

The Zabrak purred in delight as her lover suckled and nipped at her fingers. Her nails traced lines around Lumi's lips as the woman savored the lone grape. A laugh escaped her while she watched Lumi's expression and felt the enjoyment the younger woman experienced. It was divine, the pleasure and happiness Lumi felt as Zenva loomed over her, caressing her, feeding her, loving her. It was good and there was healing in the displays of affection the two showered on one another.

Zenva couldn't remember being this happy, this content with living in the moment in all her life. Deep down in her heart of hearts, even if the thought never reached her conscious mind, she knew Lumi's love was healing decades of pain. That in time, with enough moments like this, the old wounds on her hearts would heal. When that happened her love for her diminutive doctor would change, no longer just an emulation of the bone deep love Lumi felt and shared but it would blossom into a force all it's own. She loved her Lumi. She burned with desire for the frail woman and ached with longing when they were apart. One day that would change. One day her love for Lumi would sustain her and there would be no pain, even when they where separated by light years.

Actively, she was aware of the good her affection for the small woman did. With Zenva looming over her nothing would ever bring physical harm to the woman again. She would never go hungry or be left out in the cold. The Zabrak forced her to eat every time she did, even if it was only a small snack. One of Zenva's Elite's had taken to sneaking the small woman food and treats at all hours. Going so far as to ensure the woman was never without an escort. Lumi had saved his child from a slow and painful death and by doing so had earned the admiration of every soldier under The Matron's command. She had earned a home.

Zenva leaned down to kiss her lithe lover, a slow, passionate kiss. "You are the good in me, sweet meat. I would be selfish not to be doting on you, now wouldn't I?" She laughed softly as she placed another skinned grape in the woman's mouth.

[Lumi Snow]

Lumi savored every bit of the kiss, letting one of her fragile hands wrap around the back of Zenva's head as her own lips sucked delightfully at the Zabrak's own red, sumptuous full lips. Her tongue gave them a flick, not venturing into her mouth, but instead teasing along the tender skin of her Zenva's lips. Other regions of her lover's erogenous zones may have become a little less sensitive from years of battle or bruising but gratefully lips were almost impossible to deaden to senses.

At last her Zenva pulled back and pressed another fruit into her love's open mouth. The young woman scrunched her nose and inhaled sharply, cute frustration showing on her face. She was about to say something darn it, that wasn't fair!! She chewed and swallowed before speaking. Lumi, was, after all, a lady. And one with more than a few manners of course.

He finger traced along the back of Zenva's neck, behind her ear, and along her cheek in a very tender, barely touching graze. Her head was still leaning back on Zenva's shoulder, resting comfortably and not too far from her other ear as she spoke.

"You take good care of me, love," she whispered softly. "You take real good care of me."

Her other free hand traced a smoothing line along her lover's inner thigh, rubbing through the thin fabric that Zenva was wearing. She, of course, had to take good care of her too.

[Zenva Vrotoa]

Bliss. She could find no other words to properly convey how she felt as Lumi's delicate fingers trailed across her skin fleetingly. She had wanted to say something in response to Lumi's comments about being taken care of but the gentle caress of her lover washed away the words. She was enraptured by the ghostly sensations of her lithe love's nails running across her neck, her jaw, her cheek. A soft hum of pleasure rumbled in the Zabrak's throat as she felt Lumi's breath against her ear. It was intoxicating yet maddening, the gentle caress was like fuel to the fire of Zenva's burning hunger.

Her breath caught in a gasp as Lumi's other hand traveled up her thigh, pressing into the thin fabric that separated their skin. It was too much! She couldn't starve herself any longer. She rolled Lumi off her chest, gently laying her down on their picnic blanket. She pulled Lumi's thin arms around her as she lay atop her, kissing her deeply, slowly. Her hands began to wander, tugging the knot that held a towel around Lumi's waist free. The thin strings of her bikini bottoms fell prey to her lecherous digits next. All the while her lips consumed her lover's greedily.

Later

Lumi curled next to her lover, feeling the gently electrifying and comforting feel of her skin. The subtle scent of her Zenva's pheromones filled her nostrils, letting her give a satisfied sigh. The hum of her love's thoughts sounded in her ears as the Doctor felt totally at ease. Totally safe, totally loved. Here in this bed, on this planet she felt safe, secure. Secluded from any harm or hurt.

The young doctor cleared her throat softly, "Zenva."

She bit her lower lip delicately, rolling over to sit up slightly. She knew what she wanted to say, but it was putting it together that was the hardest part. Not many people knew of her childhood and so far she hadn't told her sweetheart of it. It wasn't that she was intentionally holding it back, only that she didn't know how to.

"Zenva, what if," she swallowed, before deciding to start over, her voice tentative, "I don't know if this will change how you think of me but--but," she gave up and let her words jumble out of her mouth too fast for her to stop them, "I wasn't born like this. I mean I was born a woman but I wasn't saddled with the right parts. Like physically. And I never knew why but I just didn't seem to be right. Not until college. Some friends helped me figure out who I am really inside and--and--I had a few surgeries so my body would match my heart."

Lumi lowered her head as her face burned a bright blush of shame. She had wanted to be more eloquent, more poetic, to somehow make her words sound better but she didn't know how to.

"You aren't ashamed of me, are you?" she asked in a small voice at last. "Its still me. I am not any different than I was."

Right now, more than anything, Lumi wished she could see--so she could read the expression on Zenva's face.

[Zenva Vrotoa]

Lumi. The Zabrak Matron hummed in contented pleasure as the two lovers at last settled onto their blanket once more. Her lithe lover may not be among the most robust people she had ever laid with, tiring quickly and needing a level of gentle handling she was only starting to grow accustomed too. She was however, by far the most fulfilling. Through the psychic bond that connected them every kiss was beyond just physical as every ounce of desire and love was broadcast into one another's mind in riotous technicolor. They knew instantly what felt good and what felt better. Their love making was an experience beyond what simple words could convey, layered deeply with sensations and emotions unlike anything Zenva had ever known before.

It was this same psychic bond that throw the Blood Matron into a panic soon after her Lumi started speaking again. Embarrassment, ugly fear, and a disturbing shame flowed through their bond and Zenva could only panic in response. What had she done wrong? Why the feth did Lumi feel any of these horrible emotions so quickly after their love making? Her panic must have taken a toll on her poor doctor as Lumi started spitting out words in a fevered rush.

By the time Lumi finally stopped Zenva was knelt before the petite doctor, her hands gripping the girl's shoulders firmly. She was rather confused by the outpouring of words or rather confused by the need to speak them at all. Anger came hard after confusion. She wanted to shake the frail girl for scaring her like that. She wanted to slap her across the mouth for daring to think she would ever be ashamed of her precious little Lumi. Most of all she wanted to yell at the poor frightened thing for being ashamed of herself.

Instead she reacted the only way she could to soothe her frightened lover. Her lips closed over Lumi's delicate mouth in a slow, heartbroken kiss. When she parted, she gathered Lumi against her chest like a child. "Hush now, lover mine. I don't care about who or what you were in your youth. It's in the past, love." She rocked slowly, easing Lumi deeper into her embrace and brushing hair from the girl's face. "I wouldn't have you any other way. I promise."

She stayed there, holding onto her Lumi as if their lives depended upon it. After a few moments she smiled, "Though it's too bad. I bet you were a cute boy." She said with a teasing little laugh.

[Lumi Snow]

Relief. Pure relief flooded her like a wave of sweet sweet honey on her tongue. She smiled and her body visibly relaxed in Zenva's arms. Her crimson tasted sweater than the Sippora sap on the midsummer's days on the lakeside with her brothers and sisters after swimming.

She returned the kiss, melting into its sweetness, its safety, its security. She knew she was safe here, she was secure with her love. She hadn't felt this safe in as long as she could remember. She always felt this way with her Zenva, it was unlike anything else she had ever had with anyone. She let out a soft purr of delight, resting her head softly on her love. It was too good to be true, even today she had a hard time believing anyone could love her this much.

"Thank you," she murmured softly, surrendering to the gentle rocking. Her hand cusped one side of Zenva's neck. She rested her head on the other side. Her lips grazed the nook of where her neck and shoulder met with a loving peck. This was nice, she could do this. Forever.

"Nooooo," she protested with a half whine. Her pale cheeks burned into a cherry colored red. She felt it--which made it even worse, and even more embarrassed and she felt herself blush even harder. Oh, poor pale world problems! The writer could relate. When the blushing began, it was almost impossible to stop, and it only got worse from the start. She burried her head in Zenva's chest, fully embarrassed, "Oh, noooo."
