Not Her Type


?So she doesn?t think I?m her type, huh?? Luke grunted as he hoisted his body up once more.

?Well that?s just fine by me,? he snorted, feeling sweat dripping off the small of his back. A harsh exhalation and he brought his nose up to the bar where he hung upside down. His stomach muscles burned but he kept on.

?I don?t much care for her type, either.? He gave another short grunt as he felt his muscles start to protest his harsh treatment in earnest.

?Really?? An amused voice came from behind him and Luke fell back and saw an upside down Mara Jade. Even from here he could see her green eyes sparkling.

?Don?t much care for whose type?? She asked in a challenging tone.

He scowled at her and flipped off the bar, coming to an impressively solid landing on his feet right in front of her. ?None of your business,? he huffed. ?What?re you doing here anyway??

Luke searched for his towel. He had come here to exercise away his ire, an attempt which had failed miserably. Mara smirked at him and he had the sinking feeling she had known exactly what he was doing, or trying to do in any case.

?My, my, we are touchy this morning,? she purred.

?Is there a point to this conversation?? Luke snapped.

?You need a shower,? she said as she drew closer.

Before he could stop himself he lifted his arm and took a whiff. Then he grinned at her. ?Why? Am I too ripe for you??

?Honey, you?re not nearly ripe enough to pick just yet,? she said in a very suggestive tone. ?Once you?ve aged up a bit, I?ll be back.? She licked her lips. ?You can count on it.?

Luke gulped and wrapped the towel around his neck to give his hands something to do. Something other than grabbing Mara and kissing her until they were both senseless.

She sauntered past him and looked up at the bar. ?Keeping yourself in shape I see,? she murmured.

Was that a hint of approval in her tone, Luke wondered. Surely not.

?Not much else to do right now,? Luke said in a surly tone. ?Almost all of the students are visiting their families right now.?

Mara looked up into the blazing sky. ?Yeah, it?s the hot season all right.?

Luke felt more sweat track its way down his back between his shoulder blades. A drop trickled off the edge of his nose and plopped down on his bare foot. Mara seemed to watch its progress with interest.

He wiped the sweat from his face, glad that he could hide the flush that his very improper thoughts had brought to his face. He heard Mara chuckle and decided that she had probably already guessed the gist of those thoughts anyway.

She turned and walked back toward him. As she sidled past she brushed up against him and he sensed his breathing quicken. He sternly reminded himself that a Jedi Master should have a firmer rein on his reactions, and he deliberately slowed his thundering heartbeat.

Coming to a halt in front of him, Mara trailed her fingers down Luke?s chest. As hot and sweaty as he was, he was fairly certain his temperature went up at least twenty degrees. Surely he?d soon burst into flames and never have to worry again if he was her type or not.

Drawing close, she put her lips close to his ear. ?What?s the matter, Skywalker??

Swallowing hard and restraining the impulse to haul her up against him at that very instant and worry later about where her lightsaber might end up, he did nothing more than quirk his eyebrow.

?Why nothing?s the matter, Jade,? he replied softly in his most serene Jedi voice.

Deciding that being faint of heart had never gotten him anything remotely interesting, he moved the towel and stared at her. His eyes lit up as he noticed the slight flush of her cheeks. He ran a callused thumb softly across her cheekbone.

?You must be running a fever,? he mocked quietly.

She pulled away and then glanced down at his bare chest. Then her ha
