Chapter 3

Anakin rolled over on to his back, pulling Padme close him, before wrapping his arms around her. Padme laid her head on his shoulder, as she snuggled closer to him. They laid there as the sun was drying off the sweat, from their now cooling bodies.

" Man, that was just amazing." Padme traced Anakin's hard nipples with her finger.

" Yeah, it was. Now, the only problem that I have is the sand." Anakin laughed, as Padme's finger was tickling him some.

" Well, then, I guess it's time for us to go home and take care of that problem." Padme said, with a wicked smile on her face.

" That sounds great to me. Then, maybe you can help me get some of the sand out of some places." Anakin had a sparkle in his eyes, as he hinted on what he really wanted to do. " I think I can help you out there and you can do the same for me too." Padme said, getting up and brushing some of the sand off her body.

" As you wish, my beautiful master." Anakin sat up and just watched his beautiful wife bend down and picked up her clothes and begin getting dressed.

" Come on, lazy bones. Get dressed, so that way, we can get home, ans clean up before lunch." Padme picked up Anakin's shirt and threw it at him.

" Ok, ok. I'm getting up, but I thought of having something more sweeter for lunch." Anakin got up and began putting on his clothes, but he forgot one thing.He was to brush the sand from his body, so now he was to deal with sand in his underpants.

Padme walked ahead of Anakin, but she also noticed that he was walking slower than she was. He kept picking at his crouch and then shaking his leg.

" I can't believe that you forgot to brush the sand off of you, before getting dressed. Now, you are suffering." Padme laughed at Anakin's discomfort.

" Laugh it up and you wont get this tonight or for the rest of the time we are here." Anakin grabbed his crouch again and flipped his very hurting member at her, because of the sand.

" Ok, ok, Am sorry and I'll be good. I'll help you clean the sand off of you when we get home." Padme stopped, as they came up to the boat.

" Ok. That sounds good to me. Man, I just hope that the sand didn't get inside my head. If I did ,I don't know how you will get that out." Anakin said, as he stopped next to her and looked across the huge water that separated them from the island to the main land.

" I can find ways." Padme took Anakin's hand and held it ,as they both looked across the lake and saw the lake house.

Anakin turned and looked down at Padme and gave her a smile, before leaning down and kissing her.

" I love you, Padme."

" I love you too, Anakin." Padme said, standing on her tippy toes and kissing her husband again.

They broke away from each other, before Anakin turned back to the boat. With the Force, he put the small boat back into the water, before helping Padme into the boat. Once he shoved the boat off further into the water, he got into the boat himself.

" I really don't want to leave tomorrow." Padme said, with sadness coming into her voice.

" I know what you mean. I have a feeling that I will be going somewhere to breakup a scrabble between neighbors." Anakin said, as they got closer to the dock.

" Then, that means we will not be able to see each other much, when we get back to Coruscant." Padme said, as the came up to the dock.

" I'm afraid so, but I will try to sneak away and meet you at your apartment." Anakin looked at Padme and saw that her eyes were welling up with tears.

The only thing that Padme could do was nod her head. She couldn't find her voice, because she was on the verge of crying. Anakin had just docked the boat and was helping Padme out of the boat, when that very annoying voice came up behind them.

" Mistress Padme, there is a very important message from the Queen." 3PO said, as he came up to the couple.

" Damn, how did she know that I'm here?" Padme wiped a single tear from her eyes, before turning towards the droid.

" I don't know. I guess you better go and see what she needs from you." Anakin said, as he came over to Padme and put an arm around her shoulder, before she turned to him and wrapped her arms around him.

Anakin held Padme for a couple of minutes and helped her gain some strength, before heading inside the house.

" Ok, thanks. 3PO." Padme said, before walking pass the droid and going inside the house.

" Um ... no problem at all, Milady." 3PO said, as he followed his mistress back into the house.

Anakin just watched his wife and droid go into the house. He could feel the heaviness of sadness come across Padme, and he just wished there was something he could do to take away that sadness. Walking in to the house, Anakin went straight into the bedroom and got undress before heading in refresher. Turning the water on, hot water began raining down in the shower stall. Getting into the shower, he turned his back to the falling water and let it hit his back. Resting his head against the wall of the stall, he let his mind relax, while the hot water cascaded down his still sore muscles that he has after his fight with Count Dooku. While he stood there, he began to meditate and tried to clear all the thoughts that were running through his mind. One of those being, how they were going to keep their marriage a secret from everyone, and could he truly trust Obi-Wan with this secret?
