The beauty in Life and Death. (Joza Perl)

[Kenrath]

He smiled wrapping his arm around her.

"I wasn't born a Sith Joza." "My father was a soldier." "For a long time I thought I would be a soldier too." "I was actually looking forward to it." "The camaraderie, standing shoulder to shoulder with your brothers and letting nothing and no one harm your brother." "Fate and the Force however had other plans."

He chuckled at the eyebrow raise.

"That depends on what role you want in the family." "Lover, girlfriend?" "In the end though it is like every other family." "We may not agree, at times we may not even like each other, but Force help anyone who ever tries to do you harm." "May they learn why I am known as Vengeance if they do."

oza let out a short exhale of breath in momentary contentment as she felt his arm wrap around her. She was surprised to find that on some level, it did make her feel warm and safe. Or at least, that was the illusion that she got. It was hard to change her perception of him from their first meeting, but even then he wasn’t entirely cruel, or even close to what he was probably capable of. He’d beaten her yes, but not overly so. And what was more, he’d taken the time to make sure that she’d learned from it. And now it clicked, that maybe his intention wasn’t to cause her suffering. It was to make her think and to push her to grow. She entertained the notion long ago, but brushed it aside and attributed it to being yet another Sith oddity she had yet to understand. And now, here she was.

Shifting so that her head was now resting on the upper part of his chest rather than his shoulder, she inhaled audibly and let herself relax. “I’m not sure that I’m girlfriend material. I have a penchant for sleeping around. Just ask my last romantic entanglement.” She brought to mind briefly the young man she was involved with since before she’d left to become a Jedi, and how disappointed and angry he’d been when she revealed how disloyal she’d been. The emotions and pain that followed were quickly swept from her mind as that was something she didn’t want to relive. Not now, at least. "I don't belong to anyone."

“If you want to taste a Zeltron then I’m not against obliging you. But I don’t think sweet is what you will get.” She chuckled softly for a moment. “I am interested in seeing where things go, though. Just…try not to fall in love.” She tilted her head up towards him at this point, a childish smirk flashing across her face as she echoed his own earlier words back at him. “Vengeance…can you tell me your given name?”

[Kenrath]

He shrugged

"I don't care who you sleep with................as I said I have had more than my fair share of partners."

He laughed and playfully flicked the tip of her nose.

"Love?" "I am talking about lust my sweet little Morsel." "Did love once." "It's not that I didn't like it so much as I am just not in any hurry to do it again."

He looked at her for a moment before he shook his head.

"Vengeance is my name...........it is the only name I have gone by for a very long time." "I could give you some alias but I get the impression it would defeat the purpose."

He gently moved her out of the way and stood moving back over to the edge to look back at the fights.

"Doing something out of obligation.......................... if that is what I wanted I could just go to Zeltros." "Sounds like you are not ready for me yet."

He looked over his shoulder with a smirk.

"Guess you need to simmer some more." "Maybe the next time we run into each other the desire will be more than you can handle."

He turned looking at her for a moment his head cocked to the side.

"Or maybe I am losing my touch...................no no that can't be it."

As he mentioned lust, a somewhat relieved smile curled her lips. In truth, she was glad that he was not referring to love—not that she’d expected him to. She wasn’t that naiive, at least, not any longer. She hadn’t had the best experience with love, it was messy and emotional and left her exhausted.

She blinked in mild surprise when he moved to stand up, discontent for a moment as she enjoyed resting against him. As a Zeltron, she craved touch—it didn’t necessarily have to be sexual. “Oh…either way.” She shrugged, leaning back into her seat and sliding down it a bit, feeling more casual as she let her eyes wander over him. “I certainly hope so. You almost had me back there, with your hands all over me.” She offered a lazy grin, a sign that she was becoming more comfortable with him.

“I’m surprised you didn’t go in for the kill. I’m easier than I look, I assure you.” She tilted her head back, laughing softly as she idly twirled a finger in her hair. There was no malice in her words, no patronizing tone. Only blatant honesty in a self-analysis of her nature. “I may be a “Jedi”, but I’ll always be that cocktail waitress from Zeltros.”

He smirked walking back over to her . He leaned over putting a hand on each of her thighs his heading dropping their faces separated by only an inch or two.

"Yeah see there in lies the problem." "Easy is not as much fun." "Unless of course it leads to scratching, biting, hair pulling and all manner of fun." "Then maybe I could over look easy."

He remained there the smirk seemingly permanently planted on his face. In truth in his mind her had already ravaged her a half dozen times in a half dozen different positions. The only reason stopping him had not been Joza herself but having to fight his way through a dozen or so what passed for security personnel who would not doubt find such actions just as illegal as most found them immoral. The expression on his face that moment would display as much to her if she bothered to notice.

His hands pressing against her thighs caused her skin to prickle, and she allowed herself to bask in the the brief surge of lust wrought by having him in such close proximity. She chuckled lowly, her face contorting into a challenging look by way of reply to his smirk.

“If you wanted more of challenge, you should have taken me on Lothal.” She figured he was the type of man who preferred a bit of a chase, and she couldn’t blame him. There was something to be had in the pursuit of a conquest, though. A wide grin stretched across her face before receding into a thoughtful smirk. Inching her head forward just a bit, she brushed her lips against his.

“That is how I like it best.” She murmured against his lips before allowing herself to drift away from him in time to catch the look in his eyes. It was one she was familiar with, a heated desire that was contained only by vestiges of self-control. Joza had no doubt that had they been in a more secluded area, they would certainly be doing far less talking. Tilting her head with a look of recognition in her eyes, she smiled softly. “I can be gentle, violent, submissive or dominant…whatever suits how I feel.” Her shoulders rose and fell. She wouldn’t deny the lingering curiosity in her eyes, tongue darting out to trace along her lips quickly before receding back into her mouth. This was a dangerous game to play with a Sith Lord, something that a good little Jedi shouldn’t do. But how could she resist?

"But I suppose we'll have to wait to explore those options."


[member="Vengeance"]

 

[Kenrath]

He smirked.

"Like I said getting caught by a dozen or more Jedi Masters quote taking one of their Padawns is suicidal stupid."

As she started to drift away from him he reached out cupping the back of her neck to yank her back in. He would only hesitate for a split second before stealing a long, lust filled, kiss practically inhaling her before letting go.

"And that is how I like it best." "Approaching sex like it is the last time you are ever going to have it."

He got a devious grin on his face.

"Then again I am sure a place like this is bound to have a few dark corners to take advantage of."

[Joza Perl]

Any words Joza has for him died on her tongue as his hand surged forward to grasp at the back of her neck and pull her back in. She made a small noise of surprise, muffled into his mouth as she quickly melted into the kiss. As he pulled away she was quite literally left breathless, but moreso left wanting to continue.

“Well, if we can manage to find a dark corner, I’d love to have the pleasure of trying you on.” Her voice lowered an octave, nearly coming out as a purr. If Joza saw something she liked, she wasn’t all that difficult to seduce. As she spoke, she would raise one hand and skate the tips of her fingers gently along the side of his face before running them through his hair. The Zeltron made no effort to hide her feelings or intentions, what was the point?

[member="Vengeance"]

 

[Kenrath]

He smiled stepping off to the side moving around the chair. His hand would grab for the front of her shirt to practically yank he out of the chair. His stride would make the back wall in three steps as he attempted to spin her around practically throwing her back against the wall. Followed up by his own body slamming into hers his lips meeting her in a kiss hungrier than the first.

His hand seeking out hers to raise them up and pin them to the wall about even with her head only her arms stretched out past 90 degrees. It seemed like forever before he pulled himself away from her lips.

"You do realize you are playing with fire little morsel." "You sure you are ready to be devoured?"

His tone was a mix of playful and barely contained lust.

[member="Joza Perl"]

 

[Joza Perl]

Joza made little resistance to his actions, in fact she was anticipating—hoping—for them. She grunted as he pressed her against the wall, his own body following to be on top of her’s soon after. The Zeltron easily acquiesced to his touches, allowing him to pin her and meeting his kiss with a fervent passion of her own. As if he were a drug, her body ached, craving more of him.

When he finally pulled away she gasped for breath, lust smoldering in her green eyes as she stared back at him. Full pink lips parted ever so slightly and exhaled warm, gentle puffs of breath against his lips. She didn’t need her Zeltron empathy or even the Force to feel his desire which seemed to match her own. And so she caught his lower lip between her teeth, biting it softly as she raised one leg to brush against his thigh. She softly bit his lower lip before suddenly applying more pressure and then releasing it.

“Shut up and take me.”

[Kenrath]

He laughed looking at her for a moment before one of his hands went to her throat squeezing as he leaned in kissing her neck. He other hand viciously ripping at her clothes like a man possessed. No care in the world whether they dropped to the floor in shreds or how she was going to make it back to her ship trying to get there half naked. His lips then brushed by her ear.

"As you wish little Morsel."

One she was sufficiently reveal he got to work on his own clothes being much gentler than he had with hers. While not exactly the spot he had intended for their little tryst but he was past the ability to care.

[member="Joza Perl"]

 

[Joza Perl]

Vengeance wasn’t the first man who’d torn the clothes from her body, and the mild wave of irritation she felt passed shortly lest it dampen the passion between the two. She’d figure out how to deal with it later, instead she was intent on indulging in the passion she’d unknowingly kept pent up since that day on Lothal.

Joza tilted her head against the wall, lips slightly parted as she huffed. Her bare skin was heated with a slight flush, chest rhythmically rising and falling with her labored breathing. The Zeltron had felt his desires and taken whatever he had thrown at her, at times having to hide her face against his shoulder or chest to muffle her cries of ecstasy. But she’d left her own mark as well in the form of bruises, biting and scratches, though she couldn’t yet tell if they rivaled the one’s she received. What she did know was that he brought out a more primal side in her, and that the pair hadn’t stopped until they were both thoroughly satisfied.

Pressing the rest of her back against the cool stone, she reveled in how refreshing I felt on her warm skin. “You handled me quite well,” She mused, rolling her head slightly so that he could see her green eyes spark with dim embers of fire.

[member="Vengeance"]

 

[Kenrath]

Vengeance chuckled.

"I was holding back."

He looked into her eyes for a moment before planting a soft kiss on her lips and then taking a half step back to give her room to pull away from the wall. He smirked as he scanned her up and down finally taking in what he had not paused to view before taking her.

"I can say you were everything I was expecting you to be."

His fingers danced up and down her bare skin playfully

[Joza Perl]

“Hm?” She tilted her head forward, red locks spilling over her shoulder with the motion as he moved away a bit, allowing her more freedom of movement. She made no comment on him holding back, but her eyes glittered with interest for a moment as a small smile curled her lips.

“I hope that’s a good thing,” She ran her fingers through her hair in an attempt to rearrange what she was sure had become a mess in the throes of passion. The young Zeltron would fix him with a curious look, glancing around them as she evaluated what remained of her clothes. “Would you mind me borrowing your cloak? At least until I make it back to my ship where I have some intact clothes.”

[member="Vengeance"]

 

[Kenrath]

He put on a obviously fake frown.

"You mean I don't get to see you walk away stark naked your hips swaying as you do?" "How unfortunate."

He waited another moment or two just to tease her before surrendering his cloak to her.

"Or and just hear me out.........we could back to your ship forget about the intact clothes and go for round two."

He winked at her with a devious smile opening the cloak for her to turn around so he could slide it on her. He would even plant a soft kiss on her neck as he did.

[member="Joza Perl"]

 

[Joza Perl]

A vague smirk tilted her lips as he offered her his cloak, relieved that she wouldn’t have to find a way out of this or sneak around nude. “Well, my ship is more comfortable than doing it against a stone wall.” She mused, interest flickering in her eyes. “You are welcome to return there with me, and see what happens…”

She allowed the cloak to slide over her body, giving an unexpectedly soft sigh at the gentle kiss on her neck. “And if you’re interested in seeing these hips sway, I’ll have you know that I used to be an exotic dancer by profession back on Zeltros.” She grinned at him. “I’ve actually been thinking of taking it back up as a hobby, though…perhaps you’d be interested in being my practice audience?”

[member="Vengeance"]

 

[Kenrath]

He closed his eyes for a moment picturing it in his mind.

"Well I have certainly had worse offers than being the practice audience for a Zeltron stripper.............sorry exotic dancer."

He took a step back to let her lead the way.

"Besides next to you the fights have become boring and uninteresting."

He smirked.

"And you are correct we should have done this back on Lothal............oh well better late than never."

[member="Joza Perl"]

 

[Joza Perl]

“Ah—“ She raised a finger, as if she were an instructor on the lesson of exotic dance. “There’s quite the difference. While I find no shame in stripping, the clothes stay on when I dance. If you could call them clothes.” Though she could be more conservative with her outfits, the venues she usually booked were more in alignment with skimpier, sparklier clothes. Not that she minded. “And while sexual, it’s more subtle.” She flicked her wrist and elbow, connecting the movement with swan-like grace. Though she was aware that he probably didn’t care for an explanation, she gave one anyway. “I’ve actually drawn on my experience as a dancer in fighting.” The precise footwork did help her to better learn how to dodge and redirect. "Though I imagine that I still have a ways to go."

Clasping the opening the cloak with one of her hands, she tilted her head in the direction of the exit and began walking. “Had we done it that long ago, you might have had me begging to be taken on as your student.” A small smile surfaced on her face. She was far more impressionable those years ago, but stubborn to a fault. While still stubborn, she’d learn to become more open—even when it came to force wielding.

[member="Vengeance"]

 

[Kenrath]

He chuckled.

"I am nothing if not subtle.....................when I want to be." "My problem is a never seem to want to be."

He followed her away from the particular VIP section of the stands. Her little correction about the difference between stripping and dancing. It actually made him smirk. She was so adorable when she thought she had a handle of things with him around.

"If you wanted more lessons all you had to do was ask." "I have plenty of tricks to share with the right people."

[Joza Perl]

She tilted her head to give him a curious glance when he mentioned more lessons. “If you’re willing to teach, I am willing to learn.” It was the truth, though there was always that bit of fear and overtone of wariness present in her mind. She’d met him when she was still a fairly new apprentice, unsure of how to handle herself in the face of an experienced Sith Knight. If she knew where she’d end up now, a younger Joza likely wouldn’t believe it. She was taught that the Sith were evil regardless, and to stay away from the dark side at all costs. Given her history as a Knight, she’d failed that pretty hard.

“What would you be willing to teach?” She’d go on to say, brushing her hair over her shoulder.
