"Of course, you are right", and he was, they had time to just enjoy each other. "I .. I guess I just got excited", she had and if she was honest she felt a little twinge of pain that she could not have him as her husband here and now. But taking time is the prudent thing to do and so she will wait for him.

Coci sat up and looked over the scene .. his suggestion a good one, this would be the perfect place. But details will come later and maybe they should keep this place to themselves.. mainly for security reasons. Oh old habits die hard, she thought to herself.

"But firstly we need to get you better before anything happens", she turned to smile at him once more.

 

[Thurion Heavenshield]

When she sat up, knees raised to her chin for it to lean on and her arms around her legs as if in fetal position, he got up as well, always mindful of his injuries. He moved to kneel down behind her and wrapped his arms around her, his large frame enabling him to pick her up like a child should he wish to. His face brushed up against her cheek, letting his chin support itself against her shoulder, tickling her skin with his blonde beard.

"This place is ours to make what we wish of it. It's our home, now." He gave her ear a gentle nibble and he put up his legs beside hers, constantly trying to keep her safe from whatever. He now surrounded her lithe form, both of them still completely nude and retaining a few beads of sweat upon their skin due to the hot weather coupled with their steamy lovemaking from only minutes ago. "Tell me about your family", he asked her, suddenly remembering he hadn't asked about them before now as the two were sat watching the crystal-clear lake.

She smiled and turned her head inward as she nibble on her ear, it tickled her as did his beard. A natural reflex she raised her hands to the shoulders but would never push him away, but rather would take the sensation. She moved her face toward him and nuzzled his beard.

"It really would not matter to me where we lived as long as you, Nina and I are together". She whispered in his ear near to her.

"There is really not that much to tell, my childhood was idealic compared to most. My parents are dead now, but they only wanted the best for me and provided it. I went to the best schools money could buy. I am from a royal house, on Corellian some of the old houses remain even though they do not have any political sway ... times change. My family .. I .. still have land there. And am heir to the 'throne'. But I don't care for it .. never did. To my mother's disappointment I decided to enroll in military school and graduated from there. I was not what she consider lady like". Coci smiled remembering her mother. "I even have a tiara", she looked at him with a grin.

 

[Thurion Heavenshield]

"A Princess, huh? Should I be calling you 'milady' from now on?" he jested, giving her temple a tender kiss. His hands sought hers and their fingers entwined. "I'm sorry hearing about their deaths", he then said, nuzzling his nose against her cheek.

"I grew up on Pelagon with my older brother who looked after me. We lived on the streets, begging for food and coin, living one day at a time. It went on like that for a few years, until a kind, old man took us into his orphanage. We lived there for some years, and we were happy. Then came the fire..." He hesitated sharing all the details.

"I was the only one who survived after my brother sacrificed himself to save my life. It wasn't long after that I was found by the Jedi and became a padawan. Until just recently I had always thought of myself as an orphan, with no real parents save for the woman who raised me: my master. Me and Nina were making our way back to Levantine space when we got attacked and shot down by pirates. We crashlanded on Midvinter, home of the Valkyri, where we were saved from the cold by a man who later turned out to be my father. We set off for the capital a week later and after a few adventures along the way, we got on a transport back home."

In very few words, Thurion had told her much of his past. The comparison between the two vastly different and at that moment, she realised just how strong of character he really is. But she also sensed much pain and much still undisclosed to her. She will not push him, over time maybe he will tell her more, but for now she would remain that this. Coci could not help feel the pain suffered, coming from his heart through their bond. Her arms found him and wrapped him in an embrace, not out of pity or sadness but more for support. She would always be there for him, no matter what.

She decided to focus on something more positive, for now. "Tell me of your father, that must have been .. a shock but also an enlightenment", she asked. "This Midvinter you spoke of before I would like to see it one day, and see what makes you what you are".

She pulled back and looked into his face, a searching look as if trying to see the answers before words are spoken. Such depth to the man is written on his face, and more so in his eyes. The blue of light trapped in ice, not cold but radiant and breath taking.

 

[Thurion Heavenshield]

He smiled down at her in his arms, feeling her heart beat in rythm with his own. Their hot bodies rubbed against eachother, creating a delightfully sweaty atmosphere. "My father...", he said, reminiscing of his time with him on Midvinter. "Thrand Dawnbringer is his name, a mountain of a man with more history written on his face than anyone I've ever met. He'd left his homeplanet due to self-imposed exilement. His father, the King, died of old age and rather than risk another civil war he left, not wishing more death for his people."

He then adjusted his body to lie down in the grass, inviting her to join him. "He came to Pelagon and eventually fell in love with a human, my mother. I never met my mother. She died in childbirth..." he said, pausing for a moment while letting his finger flow through her raven locks. "According to my father, she had golden hair much like my own, and she was the kindest and most loving person he'd ever known. He loved her deeply, I think."

"He returned to Midvinter after she died, but he did not take us with him, my brother and I; he couldn't deal with her loss and to see part of her within us. Last I saw, he was in the capital of Tháinbroek, though what buisness he has there I don't know. As for Midvinter", he continued. "It is a planet of ice and snow, but also of great beauty with deep forests and vast mountains, all adorned with white, glittering flakes. It is a fierce landscape which harbors many beasts, and the Valkyri themselves have learnt how to tame the land itself."

Laying next to him on the ground, she become fascinated with each passing word that fell from his mouth. Such an amazing tale, of life and his family. By now, Coci had rolled on her side and rested her head in her hand as he elbow propped her up. Her other hand on this outside thigh gently pulling at the small hair on his leg.

"I would like to meet your father one day, he sounds ... interesting and imposing. But a man full of sadness for losses both self fulfilled and ones placed upon him not by choice. He is the son of a King, which makes you..... a Prince", she beamed now able to tease him. And so, Coci bowed her head in respect to her Prince. "My Lord". But in her mind, it is a title she gives him because of his inner nobility and natural grace .. and for the way he makes her feel.

"Midvinter sound cold. But ... it holds your history .. makes up half of who you are. If you ever return .. take me with you".

 

[Thurion Heavenshield]

"I forgave him, you know", he said while looking up at the sky. "I forgave him for leaving after my mother died. It had pained him for so long, thinking he had doomed me and my brother by abandoning us. But we pulled through, even though..." He paused, swallowing hard. His eyes then met hers, and his fingertips caressed her cheek and lips. "Nina sure was thrilled to learn she now has a grandfather."

"I will take you there, one day. I'll take you to my homeplanet, that I promise you. I'm sure we'll find a way to stay warm..." he teased, just before he leaned in to kiss her lips.

Her hand reached up and caressed the back of his neck as he kissed her. Pulling back only to look into his eyes once more. She could not imagine what he must have felt when he met the man .. his father. To confront the past as it stood before you a solid as they are now. It is these thing, these actions of forgiveness that proves to Coci she is right, that Thurion is a man of pure strength of character. She has never, and will never, meet another like him. He is Jedi, a true example of one.

"I can imagine she would be happy about that, he must have looked imposing to her at first", she said. "Have you ever been to Corellia? ... I have not returned to my home planet for some time", it is interesting, that now she gave thought to this idea and her heart wanted to go back. She had been away far to long.

 

[Thurion Heavenshield]

He pondered for a bit, scratching his beard as he did. "I don't believe I have, to be honest. I've been to many places and planets across the galaxy, but never Corellia." Now that he'd learnt it was her home, he would more than happily visit it.

Thurion put his arms around her and held her close. "We'll go there, some day. I'd love to see where you were born and raised." He caressed the back of her neck and played with her black hair. "Do you have any family left to speak of?" he asked her, hoping it would not cause distress for her to do so.

"I was the only child", she began. "Although I do have some cousins, but we were never close. Oh the usual thing with families that have valuable assets, jealously tends to become part of it all. I will have to return one day and run the House, but I have no ambition to, even though the Royal Houses have no political power any more, as they are old relics for the time of the Corellian Empire.. there are only few left". She added as her eyes watched her hand move across his bare skin.

She smiled remembering a small detail from her childhood, "Corellia is famous for a lot of things, one of them is it puff cakes, they are to die for". But all this must seem so trivial to him, considering his past.

 

[Thurion Heavenshield]

In a swift movement he'd put Coci on her back against the grass, placing himself on top of her. His eyes gazed longingly into hers, sapphire-blue meeting onyx-black. His fingertips traced her soft lips, while his other hand moved down her body to her thigh. He raised her leg by the fold of her knee as he cupped her cheek and lowered his lips unto hers. "Let's not speak more of the past, for now. I'd much rather linger in the present", he spoke softly just as their lips met.

Their lips parted and their passion was shared between the two. "I love you, and I want you..." he managed between kisses, their bodies pressing against one another. "I never wish to stop."

"Then don't stop", she whispered back as her lips met his once more. Her hand ran up his back, the finger tips gently caressing his firm skin. Coci found her desired destination and placed her fingers within his longish blonde hair.

In the time they had been together, much had transpired that would make them even closer then before. The life of Jedi full of events that shape the future of others and that bend the future of themselves. To live in the present, as is his wanting more natural then the air they breathed. As she kissed him, she ponder on this, it will impossible to leave this place, it is as if an enchantment is place upon them, and they are to remain in paradise forever. The outside .. the galaxy seems so distant, almost non existent .. only this moment is present in time, this place the only dimension in which they will live.

Her body twisted under him, pushed up against his chest......




..... and so the two lovers would entwine as one once more.

 

[Thurion Heavenshield]

An hour or so later...

The entire day they'd spent in eachother's company, and had anyone else been in their stead they would've wanted the day to end as little as the two lovers. But as Thurion and Coci now bathed in the lake together they came to realise how many hours had passed them by during their acts of lovemaking, as the sun now stood low atop the sky, creating a purple and orange canvas for the beginnings of stars to shine upon. It was still warm, and there was no risk of their naked bodies freezing in the equally warm waters of the lake.

Coci was stood beneath the waterfall, using it as a shower to clean herself while all Thurion could do was watch in awe of the display. He took her body in completely, devouring her with his eyes. She truly had the body of a woman; all the right curves in the right places and no imperfections at all. He'd realised long ago how lucky he was, even though he never considered himself picky about that sort of thing.

Watching her from the nearby grassy shoreline, he was making sure their clothes had dried since he'd placed them upon the warm rocks to do thus. Although he now wished she'd never cover up that body of hers ever again. To do so would be a crime.

As she cleansed her body, Coci watched him through the waterfall. Her face smiling as she walked around only dressed with the air. Such a fine figure of a man, tall and lean, strong of body with muscles only endowed to him through his heritage. His shoulder length blonde hair kissed by the sun's rays, golden and shining in the light, it is one of the many features she loves of him.

Coci finished her showering and walked along the bank to him. By the time she had arrived the warm air dried her body. It is time to leave, as much as she did not wish it and so she dressed. She knew they would return, a home needed to be constructed for the three of them and many long days will be spent here.

She stood with her hands on her hips as she turned to him once more, "Shall we go?", she asked, not really wanting the answer. Coci walked to him and placed her hand against his cheek, her thumb caressing him near his full lips, she stretched up and kissed him.

 

[Thurion Heavenshield]

He'd managed to put on everything but his shirt by the time she appeared, her hips swaying and her breasts bouncing seductively with each step. He helped her get dressed, even though she had worn very few articles of clothing. It ended with him covering up her otherwise nude upper body with the white top, which hugged her features to amazing effect.

Carefully he put his own top on so as to not rupture the stitches on his skin, despite the fact that their lovemaking had not done so already. One could never be too sure, after all. Once they were both fully dressed, more or less, the two embraced eachother and shared in a kiss together. "I bet Nina has been wondering what took so long", he teased, running his fingers through her raven hair.
