Obi-Wan walked down the hallway to the quarters he shared with Qui-Gon quickly... much more quickly than his usual measured pace. In fact, in his frustration with the numerous events that had lead to the delay of their reunion, he'd had to remind himself several times to not run down the long Temple halls, a discipline he'd thought he'd mastered well before he'd become a padawan eight years before.

His master had been away on a mission for nearly a standard month, while he'd been left on Coruscant -- teaching, sparring with a variety of knights and masters, working on special local assignments for the Council... and missing his bonded soulmate. It had been their longest separation in years -- certainly the longest since they'd become lovers on his twentieth birthday -- and due to a series of mishaps and bad timing, it had stretched out an entire half-day longer than necessary.

First, he'd missed meeting the shuttle that morning because it had landed at the wrong platform. Then his master had been swept into an immediate and lengthy Council session. By the time that was over, Obi-Wan had been teaching some of the young students basic lightsaber katas. Under normal circumstances Qui-Gon would have joined him there, but today of all days he'd had to take one of the students to the healers for a badly sprained ankle.

Sensing Qui-Gon's exhaustion, he'd told him to go home, clean up and rest, and assured him that he'd join him as soon as possible. His master's willing but wistful compliance was a good indication of exactly how trying the mission had been, something he hadn't been able to drag out of the older man while it was still in progress. But now, finally -- having delivered his much-improved young ward to the student dorms -- he was just steps away from their quarters, and from the man whose very presence turned anyplace they could be together into 'home.'

Palming the door control, he stepped into the main room and quietly hung up his cloak and slipped off his boots. He could sense that Qui-Gon was asleep and didn't want to wake him... at least not by tromping around or yelling for him as he'd done so often as a child. As he padded barefoot toward their bedroom, he noted in passing that the brilliant Coruscant sunset was streaming in through the unfiltered windows.

He stopped in the doorway, frozen in place by the vision before him... Qui-Gon stretched out on his back in the middle of their bed, totally nude, powerful arms and long muscular legs flung out in a wanton sprawl, the sunset painting his entire body with crimson and gold. He'd apparently barely made it from the shower to the bed before collapsing, as evidenced by the damp towel trailing from under his hip to the floor and the still-wet mane of hair that flowed across both pillows. It was a sight to make any lover's heart beat faster, and how much more so a lover denied such visions for an exceedingly long month.

For long moments Obi-Wan just stood and watched Qui-Gon sleep, basking in his bondmate's proximity, feeling the dull ache of separation melt away. Watching the tight lines around those beloved eyes and lips fade, he knew that subconsciously his master was experiencing the same sensation.

Tearing his eyes away long enough to take in the uncharacteristic jumble of clothes on the floor and the unpacked bag left just inside the door, he frowned. 'My poor love,' he thought as he moved to quietly set things to rights. He'd rarely seen Qui-Gon so tired that he'd just left everything where it feel. Well, almost everything... his master's lightsaber had been carefully laid close at hand on the nightstand. A small smile lit up his face at the sight. One of the things he respected and loved most about Qui-Gon was that he was Jedi to the core, and Obi-Wan felt doubly blessed to have this man as not only bondmate and lover, but also as teacher and mentor.

After retrieving the towel with a gentle nudge of the Force and dumping the last of the laundry into the chute in the bathroom, he took one more heated look at the enticing tableau, then sighed and headed into the kitchen to fix a light dinner. He knew that his master would be hungry when he awoke, and the man obviously needed to sleep. As much as he wanted to see those beautiful blue eyes open and light up with the glow that he knew belonged to him alone, even more so did he need to see the dark circles underneath them fade. His master -- his love -- was home and safe... everything else could wait.




As full darkness settled over their quarters, Obi-Wan lounged on the couch, curled into the circle of light cast by a nearby reading lamp, belt and tunics shed for the evening meditation he'd recently completed. He'd almost finished reading his master's report on this latest mission -- which hadn't been dangerous, but had been frustrating and, apparently, exhausting -- when the first image washed over him. Although his eyes were still trained on the datapad, his mind instantly focused elsewhere... on Qui-Gon's dream.

He smiled, then flushed as the image became clearer and he saw himself through his lover's eyes. The Obi-Wan in the dream was sprawled asleep on their bed -- much as he had found Qui-Gon earlier -- but with bright sunlight streaming in the window, his hair glinting gold, braid laying across his chest, rising and falling with his regular breathing. Overall, a potent combination of innocence and sensuality, and one that provoked a mix of tenderness, love and desire in his master's subconscious mind.

Knowing that Qui-Gon saw him so touched him, awed him... and aroused him. Sensing the equally powerful response from his bondmate, he wondered if perhaps Qui-Gon had napped long enough. The low moan that he heard more in his mind that through the open bedroom door encouraged him to investigate that possibility in person. Gathering up his gear and heading to the kitchen to pick up the tea and tray of fruit, bread and cheese he'd prepared earlier -- he planned on not leaving their bedroom again that night, and hopefully well into the next day as well -- he mused that it must be some kind of indication of their hectic lives that some of their most cherished images were of each other sleeping.

Using long familiarity and a touch of the Force, he made his way easily into the dark bedroom and set down his gear and their dinner on the dresser, grinning as the images changed... the phantom Qui-Gon, possibly responding to his presence, now gently caressing his still-sleeping dream counterpart. The wry grin fell from his lips as he turned from lighting two candles and saw the changes the dream had wrought on his master, changes which caused a noise halfway between a whimper and a moan to slip from his throat. If Qui-Gon had been enticing before, now he was irresistable.

The lazy sprawl had disappeared, muscles growing taut as his arousal built. Entranced, Obi-Wan watched the play of muscles in his master's powerful chest as his arms moved lazily but deliberately, fingertips skimming softly over the blanket as if it were his dreamlover's skin. One knee had lifted slightly, simultaneously exposing him further to his young love's hungry gaze and partially blocking his view of flesh that was rapidly hardening to it's full, impressive length. 'How like Qui-Gon,' Obi-Wan thought hazily in his lust-inspired daze. His love had always been a master of paradox as well as understatement.

Finally, drawn by another low moan, his eyes... now glowing a fierce blue... settled on his master's face. Ruggedly handsome, beautiful in a way that Qui-Gon himself could never see but that had been obvious to Obi-Wan since adolescence, it was a face that -- when not constrained by formal Jedi solemnity -- was vividly expressive of his master's emotional state. Now, he noted with delight, the laxness of exhaustion had been replaced by that glorious loving anticipation that he'd yearned to see during their long month apart.

As the caresses in the dream grew stronger and more intimate and his dreamself began to writhe in appreciation, he found himself wondering how Qui-Gon would respond under similar conditions. He grinned again as an idea blossomed in his mind and stepped closer to the bed, a mischievous gleam in his eye. 'What's good for the master is good for the apprentice,' he thought, 'or is that the other way around?' Shrugging, he slipped out of his leggings and rested one knee on the bed, deciding that it didn't really matter... he planned to make this extremely good for both of them.




Obi-Wan trailed his fingers lightly across his master's broad chest, mimicking the gentle touches he'd seen in the dream. Gooseflesh rose on both their bodies as the familiar surge of energy rushed over them, intensified to an almost painful level by the long absence. Suddenly achingly aroused, he realized that this would be an exercise of his control as much as an inventive way to wake his lover.

Breathing slowly and deeply, he centered himself in their bond, letting his movements flow and take on the rhythm of the Force that pulsed so strongly between them. As his fingertips skimmed over peaked nipples, drawing a moan and a shiver from an increasingly restless Qui-Gon, he closed his eyes to concentrate again on his master's dream.

Unsurprisingly his dream self was starting to respond... still asleep, but reaching out reflexively to return the intimate caresses. Taking his lower lip between his teeth, he let his hands settle firmly onto Qui-Gon's body, then drew them slowly down his chest... over the ripples of his abdomen... separating to follow the smooth curves of hip to flank... finally coming to rest on solidly muscled thighs, relishing the tingling heat of each inch of flesh as he went.

Rapidly losing his battle for control as his master writhed beneath him, trying to follow the touch of his hands, Obi-Wan shifted to kneel between his legs, then ran his hands back up the splayed inner thighs until his thumbs brushed against velvety skin. A moan escaped his lips as Qui-Gon arched toward him, calling his name softly. Almost of it's own volition, Obi-Wan's right hand moved to stroke the weeping shaft curved up along Qui-Gon's belly, slicking his fingers as his bondmate thrust upwards into the welcome grip.

Sensing that his oh-so-willing victim was about to wake, he leaned forward, finally allowing himself to savor the unique scent and taste of Qui-Gon Jinn -- the sharp musk of his arousal mixed with the clean scent of the herbal soap his love preferred, plus flesh so needy that the very heat and anticipation had a smell all their own... then the taste of that same heat and anticipation, salty and bitter like a sala root dipped in the seas of Aldaraan... almost but not quite overpowering the addictive taste of Qui-Gon's skin itself, that incomparable flavor that made Obi-Wan want to run his tongue over every inch of his lover's long, lean body.



Qui-Gon woke with a gasp, deep blue eyes flying open as he was tossed instantly from an enticingly erotic dream into circumstances that surpassed not only the dream but all of the fantasies he'd been entertaining for the past month, then flickering back shut as the reality of his lover's touch and presence enveloped him.

Obi-Wan's lips caressed him slowly from tip to root as his oversensitive flesh was alternately grazed with teeth and soothed with the hot velvet of tongue and throat until every nerve in his body felt like it was on fire. Digging his fingers into the blanket, he struggled to lay still, belatedly remembering to breath again only when a low groan forced its way out in response to Obi-Wan's increased pace. Slipping deeper into their connection, he realigned himself with his lifemate -- mind to mind, heart to heart, soul to soul.

// Yes, love... oh, yes... Force, I've missed you so... Obi-Wan... please... //

Fine tremors shook the taut muscles of his thighs as Obi-Wan settled the long legs over his shoulders, exposing him to slick fingers that wasted no time in satisfying his plea.

// As I've missed you, beloved Master... //

The sweet pressure built quickly at the base of Qui-Gon's spine as first one, then a second finger slipped inside, stroking deeply, twisting and scissoring inside him as his hips moved with the rhythm Obi-Wan was setting, first pressing down hard into the strokes, then thrusting back up into the irresistible heat and suction of Obi-Wan's mouth.

With a mental smile that shone like a nova against the backdrop of their lifebond, Obi-Wan simultaneously let his fingers brush the pressure point within his master's body, his throat capture and squeeze the swollen shaft, and his mind open completely, sending all the love and desire he'd been holding behind his shields throughout the long hours of tortuous delay.

Overwhelmed by sensations within and without, Qui-Gon came with a loud wordless cry, back arching completely off the bed in his ecstasy before collapsing limply back onto the soft bedding.

Calling on years of Jedi discipline, Obi-Wan clamped down savagely on his own physical response to Qui-Gon's climax, unwilling to back away from the depth of their bond, or to let himself come. It was an odd sensation... his mind and soul were swept away into the fire, then floated lazily, sated, with his master's, while his body still ached for release, fighting against his tight controls. And he quickly discovered that licking Qui-Gon clean was proving to be an ineffective -- if delightful -- distraction. Luckily at that moment his master stirred, the satiation in his mind giving way to a new need... one that involved immediate full body contact with his bondmate.

The powerful thighs dropped to either side of his body, and Obi-Wan felt large hands close on his upper arms, lifting him up and swinging him over in a single graceful movement -- one that ended with Obi-Wan flat on his back, pinned to the bed by the arm and leg draped possessively over his lithe form, Qui-Gon's face buried in his neck, the soft beard tickling as he alternately kissed the soft skin and mumbled endearments.

Obi-Wan found himself caught between a giggle and a moan as Qui-Gon nuzzled against him, finally settling for a low groan of frustration as his master's thigh brushed against his still rampant erection. Qui-Gon's head immediately rose from it's cozy nest and Obi-Wan released a belated laugh as he met obviously startled eyes. His own eyelids dropped to halfmast as Qui-Gon shifted his leg again, this time deliberately rubbing against him.

"Obi-Wan? I thought... it felt like... you didn't...?"

"Apparently not, love," he replied with a soft laugh at his master's sudden inability to form a coherent sentence, then groaned again as he arched his hips up against the welcome weight. For a moment he felt Qui-Gon considering the strategic ramifications of this new aspect of their bond, then quickly pushing the thought aside to be considered later.

"Well... we'll just have to take care of that directly, won't we, my heart? I won't have anyone accusing me of mistreating my Padawan...." Which was something that had occurred all too often when their physical relationship had first begun.

Capturing Obi-Wan's lips in a fierce, quick kiss, he swung himself up to straddle his apprentice's thighs, running large calloused hands up and down the golden body beneath him as he'd done in his dream. Sitting back, he flipped his hair out of his eyes and followed his hands' path with gleaming sapphire eyes, mesmerized by the beauty and sensuality of his lover's writhing form.

"Qui-Gon... please...."

The desperate plea brought his out of his revery and he glanced around quickly, then called a bottle of massage oil to his hand from the nightstand. He noticed with a grin that it was almost empty. 'Apparently Obi-Wan's missed me just as much as I've missed him' he thought while lavishly coating his bondmate's neglected and almost oversensitized shaft. The mental picture of Obi-Wan stroking slickly into his own fist... much as he was doing now to Qui-Gon's... gave him the beginnings of a matching ache, despite his recent intense release.

"Obi-Wan," he called softly, shifting forward. He waited until his love's eyelids lifted, loving blue-green eyes sparkling up at him, then lowered himself slowly, groaning with pleasure as he felt Obi-Wan fill him, inch by inch.

Obi-Wan drew a breath that was almost a sob as he was finally enveloped completely in the amazing heat of his master's body. Taking Qui-Gon's hips in his hands, he began thrusting slowly, deeply, then bared his teeth in a feral smile as Qui-Gon gasped, pressing down even harder as Obi-Wan brushed against his prostate, causing a shock of sensation to shoot up and down his spine before settling at the base of his now fully renewed erection.

"Obi-Wan... look what you do to me, my beautiful love," he moaned as he stroked himself with a large, slick hand, head falling back in wanton abandon as Obi-Wan's thrusts began coming harder and faster. The Force almost visibly glowed around them as they shared themselves freely with each other... feelings and fantasies from the month apart slipping across the bond, further stoking the fires they ignited in each other... then sharing the fire itself as their individual sensations blended into one... Qui-Gon feeling as if it were the tight heat of Obi-Wan's body he was thrusting into, while Obi-Wan reveled in the ghost sensation of Qui-Gon filling him completely.

"Qui-Gon... love... you," Obi-Wan gasped as the last of his controls fell away and his movements grew more frantic.

"Obi... love..." Qui-Gon tried to respond, cutting himself off with a hoarse cry as he felt Obi-Wan swell suddenly within him, pressing himself deep inside, his whole body vibrating. The sharp thrusts and hot pulses that followed ensured that he followed his young love over the edge, hot seed spilling out over his hand and stomach.

Letting himself fall forward onto his elbows, he was immediately clasped tight in Obi-Wan's arms. Rolling over to settle the smaller man on top, he hugged Obi-Wan close in turn, running gentle hands up and down his back until the tremors were replaced by a lanquid relaxation. Feeling an impudent grin against his throat, he rumbled, "What is it, love?"

"'Obi-love'... I kinda like that."

"You do, do you?"

Raising his head, Obi-Wan nodded solomnly, eyes gone warm and soft in the afterglow of their lovemaking. Leaning forward, he pressed his lips to Qui-Gon's, licking his way slowly into a deep, loving kiss, then pulling back just enough to whisper, "Welcome home, Master."
