Ahsoka, Daughter of the Light (Book 3): Survivor

Chapter 6: Stressed Out

AHSOKA TANO

Ahsoka was examining her dysfunctional lightsabers when Mira came into the room.

"Why are you here," Ahsoka said.

"Sorry, Master Tano," Mira said.

Everyone had started calling her "Master Tano" ever since she was unanimously chosen as the new Grand Master.

"I was just wondering," Mira continued, "what do we do now? We've been drifting in space near Toydaria for a while now."

"I don't know," Ahsoka replied honestly. "I just really need some help. I... I don't know if I'm up for this, being a Grand Master. Kriff, I never even finished my training!"

"There's nobody better than you to lead us, Master Tano."

"Please," Ahsoka said, "just call me Ahsoka."

"No," Mira insisted, "I don't think I will."

The door behind them opened, and Lux came through.

"Hey," he said to Mira, "Could I please have some alone time with Master Tano?"

"Okay," Mira said.

She walked out the door and closed it behind her.

Lux sighed.

"This whole Grand Master thing is starting to take it's toll on you, huh?" Lux said.

"Yeah..." Ahsoka admitted.

She felt Lux put his hand on her shoulder.

"Hey, 'Soka," he said, "It will all be okay."

He lifted her to stand up, and he hugged him.

"Oh, Lux..." She said.

Lux stroked her lekku and kissed her neck.

"Nyuhh..." she let out a moan of pleasure.

Lux pinned her up against the wall and pressed his face against hers into a kiss. Their fingers interlaced together and Ahsoka felt calm for the first time in ages.

There was a knock on the door.

Lux quickly broke the kiss and stepped away.

"Sorry," he said. "Wish it could've lasted longer."

"Me too," Ahsoka said, walking to the door.

She opened the door and Lyda was standing outside.

"Kriff," Ahsoka muttered under her breath.

Lyda looked past Ahsoka and saw Lux.

"Hm," she said, "looks like something happened here."

"Lyda, please-" Ahsoka tried to say.

"Lux, get out of here," Lydacontinued, "I need to talk with Ahsoka."

Lux and Ahsoka shot a quick glance and smiled at each other before he walked out and closed the door behind him.

"So," Lyda continued, "How's it going with 'Senator Bonteri?'"

Ahsoka's hands nearly clenched into fists.

"None of your buisness," replied Ahsoka.

"Please," Lyda said, "it's obvious you two have something going on. For you to just show up in an Onderonian royal outfit with him?"

"Wait, royal outfit!?" Ahsoka blurted out. "He told me it was just a combat suit!"

"So he did give it to you," Lyda said.

Ahsoka sighed.

"Promise you won't tell anyone," she said.

"Unless they find out themselves," Lyda smurked.

Ahsoka sighed again. 

"You see, Lux and I... we're engaged."
