	Title: Shades of Passion Author: obi_ew Rating: PG This was written for the Bakers Dozen challenge at Jello Anarchy. The theme was: #12 You don't know what you have done to me. I decided to try something different. Disclaimer: I do not own these characters. They belong to Lucas and Watson. Summary: Siri is haunted by recent choices she has made. Note: This is sort of a spin off of the vig I did for the Dare challenge at Anarchy called All The Promises. It and the follow up vig exceed the rating standards for this site. Thanks to KMA for the beta. Shades of Passion The strains of the orchestra's music floated along the air as the elite of Coruscant swarmed onto the polished dance floor. The women's brightly colored ball gowns were reflected in the marble floor as their partners spun them around in the intricate steps. Laughter and whispered conversations were like a dull hum above the music as those on the sidelines watched while keeping up their talks. One of those spectators stood alone amongst the gilded crowd, oblivious to the admiring glances sent in her direction. Although there were many present interested in striking up a conversation, the cool expression on her face was an effective deterrent. Even had she been conscious of how her admirers saw her, she wouldn’t have cared. She was painfully uncomfortable in her current costume and eager for the evening to come to an end. Slim fingers once again lifted to grasp the low cut bodice of the form fitting red dress she wore. A subtle tug to make certain everything was covered as the silk layers floated around her ankles like gossamer wings. She felt naked in the miniscule dress and the heels that had been forced upon her only made her feel like an awkward giant looming over the delicate aristocracy. Feelings of discontent were in no way alleviated when a pair of familiar eyes met hers from across the crowded dance floor. Laughter sparkled in blue-gray eyes, the corners of his mouth twitching as he fought to contain his laughter. Straightening her shoulders, Siri leveled him with one of her most notorious glares of doom, a satisfied smirk of her own curling painted lips when his smile vanished nearly as quickly as he did into the crowd. "Coward," she muttered to herself, allowing her gaze to scan the flood of beings. Security duty was a common mission for Jedi, but rarely were they required to shed their customary garments in order to blend in. The familiar tunics were normally enough of a threat to keep any troublemakers away. The Supreme Chancellor had been very adamant this time that those chosen were able to blend in so that his guests would be able to relax and enjoy themselves. She had tried her hardest to get out of the mission but any protests she had come up with had been effectively shot down by the Council. A wave of melancholy swept over her as she was once again reminded of what this mission had cost her. She had been up for a week of free time after having spent almost two years undercover with one of the galaxies most notorious slave traders. Time spent so closely intertwined with beings who had no regard for the lives of others had left scars so deep she was certain they would never fade. For that reason she had been looking forward to the downtime and had already made plans to travel to Telos to be with the one person who had the ability to make her forget. To make her feel alive. She had just reached up to finger the golden bracelet that wrapped snugly around her bicep when there was dark shift in the Force currents. Her sword hand dropped down to her side, but was caught in a tight grip before she could retrieve the light saber hidden beneath the layers of red silk. Her body stiffened as someone pressed themselves against her back, lips brushing against the shell of her ear. "Dance with me." Siri drew in a shocked breath as she recognized the identity of her assailant by the familiar strains of his smoky voice. It was a voice that she carried with her at all times and had given her the strength to go on during the darkest days of her last mission. "Are you crazed? What are you doing here?" Her words were spoken in a hiss as she fought to free herself from his grip. Long fingers lightly reached around to brush against a heated cheek, a deep chuckle causing her to blush when she leaned into the caress. She longed for his touch like someone starving longs for food and he knew it. A shiver moved through her body as his tongue snaked out to trace the shell of her ear. "Dance with me." Siri was frozen in place as he stepped around to face her for the first time. He was dressed elegantly in black, a deep sapphire shirt the only splash of color in his attire. Long locks of ebony hair were tied behind his head, strands of silver illuminated by the lights cast down by crystal chandeliers. Pale skin was sculpted into features that never ceased to take her breath away, a small broken circle scar on one cheekbone the only flaw and yet even it did nothing to detract from his good looks. Jealousy heated her veins as she grew aware of the coveting glances sent his direction by many of the bystanders. A knowing smirk lifted the edges of his lips as he bowed over the hand he kept securely within his grasp before drawing her into the crush of beings that swept along the dance floor. Sounds faded into the distance as her eyes were caught and held by his, strong arms drawing her flush against his own tall frame. One arm wrapped around the back of her waist, pulling her indecently close while he twined his fingers with hers and spun them into the dance. Siri was forced to use her free hand to steady herself against his shoulder as he gracefully lead her in the steps. Her lashes fell as she deeply breathed in the scent that she had come to associate only with him. It was a heady mixture of the herbal soap he used and the natural aroma given off by his porcelain skin. The arm around her waist briefly contracted in order to draw her focus back to him. "What if you are seen?" Her words were spoken in a worried whisper. "No need to worry your pretty head, my love. I paid enough credits to be allowed entrance to this gauche display of excess." Desire gleamed in the depths of his eyes as he peered down at the flesh displayed by her low cut dress. "I must admit I am enjoying this new look of yours." Siri's gaze swept over the crowd as he spun her around the room. "I'm not the only Jedi here you know. Obi-Wan is here somewhere and could see us." Desire was replaced with animosity, the hand entwined with hers tightening almost painfully. "Kenobi is here?" Something in his voice made her blood run cold, her eyes nearly pleading as they studied the sharp lines of his face. "He is my friend." The breath she had been holding was only released when the tension slowly drained from his body. Full lips lifted into a doting smile as he leaned closer and brushed a kiss against her cheek. "I have missed you. My bed is cold without you in it." "You shouldn't be here." Siri's words were barely audible as she moved closer and pressed her cheek against his. It felt so good to be in his arms, to be held as if she were delicate glass. It had been his embrace that had kept her sane during the last two years, his supposed business meetings with Krayn nothing more than a cover to be close to her. The slave trader had found their obsession with one another vastly amusing, never once suspecting that they had known each other before being introduced during a business meeting. The only blessing that had come from the mission had been the unrestricted time it had given them to be together with no fear of discovery. Siri's frantic gaze searched the room for her Jedi companion. "What if someone recognizes you? What if Obi-Wan sees you?" "You worry too much, my love. He may be a beautiful dolt, but Kenobi isn't stupid enough to try anything amongst this throng of innocent bystanders." The fallen Jedi nuzzled his face into the side of her neck until he felt her breathing quicken. "Or are you more afraid of what he will say if he knows about us?" "He would be honor bond to alert the Council." It was difficult to keep her mind focused on the conversation when her body was screaming for his touch. The wickedly talented fingers that held her waist brushed sensuously against bare skin at the back of the red dress. "I have been patient, but that patience is wearing thin. I'm tired of having to sneak around in order to be with you as if our feelings are wrong." Frantic to make him see reason, Siri pulled back enough to meet deep blue eyes that were lit with anger. A chill swept through her as she felt cloying tendrils of darkness flow through the Force that surrounded them. His whipcord lean body was coiled to strike, just like the legendary Corellian sand panther that was tattooed on his shoulder. Her hand stroked his silk clad shoulder as if to soothe him. "We have had this discussion many times. If the Council found out about us I would be forced to choose and I can not give up the Order. Not even for you." She shook her head when he merely glared at her with resentment. "Please, do not make me choose." Anger was replaced with hurt before long ebony lashes fell to shield it from her. When he next spoke the words were thick with emotion and longing. "You don't know what you have done to me. Do you?" A humorless snort of laughter as he drew her close once again. "I can think of nothing but you. Every waking and sleeping moment is filled with the smell of you, the sound of your voice, the feel and taste of your skin. The sound of your laughter rings in my ears while I see your rare smiles when I close my eyes." Unsure why, Siri wrapped her arms around his neck as if to give comfort. Her eyes stung with tears at the words, her heart echoing his feelings although she could not speak them openly. "What would you have me do, Siri?" She had just opened her mouth to respond when she spotted Obi-Wan watching her from across the room. His brow was furrowed in concentration as he stared at the back of her companion's head. Her heart began to race when he began to wind his way through the crush of beings. "You must go! Obi-Wan is on his way over here." Stepping out of the tight embrace her eyes pleaded with him to obey. Resistance burned in his eyes but was quickly banked when he saw the desperation on her face. Before she had a chance to protest, his head swooped down and he claimed her lips for a deep passionate kiss. It ended all too quickly, his fingers brushing against her flushed cheek as he took a step back. "We will finish this discussion another time, my love." A quick glance over his shoulder and he was moving around her and toward the exit. Left alone in the middle of the dance floor, Siri pressed trembling fingers to her passion swollen lips as she stared sightlessly in the direction her lover had disappeared in. As Obi-Wan reached her side and grasped her elbow she was oblivious to the questions he was asking, her mind replaying Xanatos' words over and over. "You don't know what you have done to me. Do you?" -----signature----- In Loving Memory Of CC Price of Courage- Obi/Whie/Luke- http://boards.theforce.net/The_Saga/b10476/20124958/?37 Updated 4/20 Finally!!
