Okay, I'm excited. They kissed. And that was some kiss too.
I loved the way Anakin is able to lean on Barriss and help him through this tough time. He may have been upset for how she shared his dream but he knows she didn't mean to, and she understands him a bit better because of it.

Nice kiss! 
He laughed, but choked on it, his forehead coming forward to gently lean against hers. "Much. But worse in others."
"Same here." Barriss joined him in a shaky laugh and made to move away again, but Anakin's hands flexed on her waist.
"Don't go yet."
"I don't think we-"
"Barriss."
Barriss stiffened, her head coming around at the even tones of her Master. "Master!"
Luminara was observing them with veiled interest, but Barriss could sense her Master's displeasure. "It is not customary to climb on ones colleagues, Padawan. Some cultures even consider it rude."
Anakin laughed; the first real laugh Barriss had heard since the news of Padmé's death four days ago.

She answered with a faint smile. "You know why. Loss, or so I'm told, often brings out the need for intimate contact in humans. That's not very wise."
That's a polite way of putting it.

 I see what you mean 'bout her having the best lines! Luminara certainly has position as best secondary character, right now, methinks!
Jade_Max posted:
"But, this trip is for healing so we must promote it. Would you like to join us for meditation? Obi-Wan is otherwise occupied but has suggested some peace and quite might benefit you."
I'm sure quiet is quite needed for Anakin. 
Thanks for the PM!

Even if Luminara thinks something is going on, it was cool of her not to comment on it and to even offer to help Anakin in his healing process. I liked that she didn't yell first and ask questions later. Perhaps their kiss would have put the Council in a frenzy, but in a way, it was what they both needed.
Great job with this! I eagerly look forward to the next post!

Very nice scene!
The inappropriateness of her thoughts wasn't lost on her. There, on the other side of the bulkhead, lay the woman he'd fantasized about for ten years.
I really like how Barriss acknowledges the role that Padme played in his life. It'll be interesting to see how the dynamics of their relationship play out now - especially after that kiss - since she knows that she wasn't his 'first choice,' per se.
And I love how you're writing Luminara. You've got her nailed! 
Woah woah, thereare more Barriss books?!
She's a main character in both of the Medstar books. (Which are great!)
And thanks for the PM.

What a kiss. Got my heart rate up. LOL
I love the physical contact between them (the holding of hands for example.
I think this was my fav part. The discriptions were perfect:
She tilted her head, lifting her hand to brush her thumb across his lips, her breath hitching when his tongue darted out to lick the pad. "One." Her agreement was a whisper.
I have to agree with these 2 statments too.

Very nice kissing scene!
Luminara arched her eyebrows. "You find something funny, Padawan Skywalker?"
"Yes, Master."
"Enlighten me."
Anakin coughed, composing himself, and helped Barriss slide off his lap. She rose to her feet shakily, still reeling inside from his kiss, and offered him her hand. Anakin accepted and she helped pull him to his feet. He slouched a little, adjusting the fabric of his long jerkin over his waist and thighs. "I apologize, Master Luminara."
"For what, Anakin?"
"For monopolizing your apprentice."
"There is much Barriss can learn from you, Anakin. I trust her time with you isn't wasted."
Barriss flushed, making her tattoos stand out on her cheeks, unable to look at either her Master or Anakin. Anakin answered, but the sadness had crept back into his tone. "Barriss is teaching me at the moment, Master. It would seem I have a problem letting go."
LOL! anakin wouldnt be embarrassed by being caught would he?
More!

Barriss freed one hand, reaching up to catch the tear on his cheek with her finger. Her gentle touch was enough and her feet hit the floor with a jarring thud as Anakin's knees gave out, his eyes closing against the burden of grief that was tinted with fears beyond his control. Barriss folded with him, ending up seated in his lap, straddling his knees as he clung to her. He made no noise, and she doubted he ever would, as tears slipped down his cheeks. His face was buried in her shoulder, half in her hair that had been left down for comfort.
She let him cry, feeling the pain that continued to eat at him even when the tears finally stopped. He clutched her with a strength born of desperation as if afraid she too would disappear and prove only to have been a dream. She stroked his short hair, rocking back and forth slightly as she offered him comfort. "I'm here, Anakin, I'm here."
"Don't leave me, Barriss." His plea was soft, almost child-like.
"I'm not going anywhere."
She had better not. Because after that I would hunt Barriss down myself if she ever did.
Anakin lifted one hand to brush the hair from her shoulder and tuck the strands around her ear. "I don't want to be wise, Barriss. I'm sick of being wise. I've lost a friend, been tormented by dreams of losing my mother and been lectured by my Master about control when I want nothing more but to kiss you."
"We can't Anakin." Barriss moved, shifting backwards on his lap, but Anakin's grip tightened, dragging her back, settling her against him so their lips were almost level. His eyes mesmerized hers once more, darkening as she watched.
"Why not?"
"Attachment is forbidden."
"It's a kiss, Barriss." He managed a semi-smile that was charming for the effort. "Just one. It'll make me feel better."
She licked her lips again, tempted and knowing she was losing the battle against her own will. She tilted her head, lifting her hand to brush her thumb across his lips, her breath hitching when his tongue darted out to lick the pad. "One." Her agreement was a whisper.
Yeah, right. *I* don't believe either one of them are just going to stop at "One." And it's not like I want them to anyway.  
Anakin shifted his hold, unable to suppress a groan as she shifted in his lap. Barriss tilted her head and closed her eyes as her lips touched his. She felt more than heard his sigh and his head shifted position. She reacted, doing the same and brought their mouths together more intimately. The tip of his tongue darted out to trace the seam of her lips and, without thinking, she opened to him, pressing herself forward in his lap, bringing herself higher and tilting his head upwards so that she was kissing him. Anakin's hands held her in place, splayed against her back as Barriss ravaged his mouth with gentle teeth, tongue and lip.
She finally pulled away, fighting for breath, and found her head was spinning. Her heart was pounding, echoing in her head, and she could feel her hands shaking as she shifted her grip against him. His arms were shaking as she was let gingerly down from her superior position.
What a kiss!
She blushed, wondering if she'd really just climbed all over him like that. The flush on his face indicated she had. She waited until her breathing and heart were back to some semblance of normal before she tried to speak. "Feel better?"
***dies***
OMG!!!! The Mush! The Glorious Mush!!!

Amazing...
"It is not customary to climb on one's colleagues, Padawan. Some cultures even consider it rude."
Ha ha ha!
Also glad they kissed again... love is in the future for two certain Padawans, I can feel it.
Love it and can't wait to read more!

Wow!
This is great! I've a fan of Barriss (ever since reading the Medstar books) and this is fantastic!

Sure. Just one. Right.
Loving this so far. Could you add me to your PM list, please?
