The Jedi Master was hard pressed not to jump his Padawan the instant the young man slid into the taxi and sat next to him. Qui-Gon gave directions to the air taxi driver and promptly erected the privacy screen that kept the driver from viewing what happened in the back seat. He leaned back into the cushions casually and watched Obi-Wan. His padawan would not look at him. Qui-Gon got the distinct impression that Obi-Wan was very annoyed at him for what had happened back at the restaurant. He only hoped the young man wasn't angry with him. Obi-Wan leaned back, slouching against the cushions, with one arm stretched along the window ledge of the door. His fingers tapped rhythmically against the aging vehicle's painted surface. Moments stretched out as Obi-Wan forced Qui-Gon to wait until he made up his mind about what had just happened. Qui-Gon wanted to talk so badly to his apprentice, but knew he had to hold his tongue until Obi-Wan started speaking to him. He had rather hoped that Obi-Wan would jump him the instant they got into the air taxi, or at least speak to him. Attempting a light touch to the man's mind revealed heavy shields, not allowing Qui-Gon a chance to test out what Obi-Wan was thinking. Qui-Gon felt himself starting to sweat a little, his anxiety building. Had he really done the right thing showing his feelings towards Obi-Wan, and was he mistaken when he thought his feelings returned? Finally the tapping of Obi-Wan's fingers ceased and Qui-Gon looked at the beautiful man beside him. His padawan eyed him carefully, then Qui-Gon knew everything was fine once he saw the beginnings of a wry smile on Obi-Wan's lips.

"Master?" Obi-Wan's bright hazel eyes gazed upon Qui-Gon intently.

"Yes, Obi-Wan?" Qui-Gon was glad to see his apprentice wasn't terribly pissed off at him.

"What in the sith hells made you do something so out of character back there?" His Padawan asked, the smallest of grins began to show on his face. To that, Qui-Gon simply shrugged and smiled.

"Something told me that tonight was the right time to let you know how deeply I feel for you, Padawan" was Qui-Gon's answer and it made Obi-Wan laugh out loud.

"Stop me if I'm wrong, Master, are you saying the Force made you give me a hand job in public?" Obi-Wan was still softly laughing as Qui-Gon slid across the cushions until he was leaning against him. His hazel eyes were alight with humor.

"Yes, Padawan" Qui-Gon paused for emphasis, "the Force made me do it" Qui-Gon whispered into Obi-Wan's ear and the younger man shivered as lips brushed oh-so-softly against his tender lobe. A soft chuckle escaped Obi-Wan's lips. Obi-Wan touched his master's mind ever so briefly and Qui-Gon gave him the true reason for his outlandish behavior. The young man gasped at the sudden onslaught of emotion. He had always had deep feelings for his master, but never thought they would be returned. Qui-Gon was in love with his apprentice. Obi-Wan was only too sure that, force-guided or not, tonight was a good time to let Qui-Gon know he felt the same. Unfortunately, there was a small matter of revenge to be attended to.

"Master, you are full of poodoo" Obi-Wan muttered as he leaned into Qui-Gon. It was the smile in his eyes and the amusement trickling through their training bond that kept Qui-Gon satisfied that revenge just might be sweet for both of them.

"That's what the council says, Obi-Wan, and I was hoping you would be of a different opinion" his master replied, and Obi-Wan let out a soft gasp as Qui-Gon moved until he was straddling his lap. Qui-Gon grabbed a hold of the Obi-Wan's slim shoulders and bent his head in for a soft kiss. The older man's mustache and beard tickled his lips and chin as Qui-Gon gently ran his lips over his. The very tip of Qui-Gon's tongue licked delicately along his lips, teasing him. Obi-Wan groaned in frustration and pressed their lips firmly together. Even though he almost felt smothered by his master's weight and bulk above him, Obi-Wan didn't want the tender, sweet moment to end. In a bold move, Obi-Wan ran his hands down Qui-Gon's back and down to the muscular buttocks. He gave each cheek a hard, approving squeeze with his hands. Qui-Gon gasped into his mouth and pushed his groin into Obi-Wan's. Lingering for a while, memorizing the sweet curve of the man's ass as his master moaned deep in his throat and kissed him fervently. The weight of the older man pressing against his body so suggestively caused Obi-Wan to become embarrassingly aroused. He was pleased when he noticed Qui-Gon was as hard as he was when Qui-Gon brushed against his stomach. Too curious to wait until they arrived at their quarters, Obi-Wan brought one of his hands between the two of them to give his master's groin a light stroke. Qui-Gon began to explore his Padawan's handsome face with his lips, tracing a line from one eye to the other, running along his jaw line with such tenderness Obi-Wan smiled softly. The instant Obi-Wan reached the object of his attentions, he was startled slightly. Certainly he knew his master was a large man, but he was still amazed.

"Ooh, Master!" Obi-Wan gasped softly as he gently touched Qui-Gon's hardened cock. Qui-Gon growled into his ear.

"hmmm, Obi-Wan? Something wrong?" he started to pull back, but seeing as Obi-Wan had hold of his cock, he didn't move far at all.

"No, nothing at all. I'm just impressed" was Obi-Wan's answer as the young man gave Qui-Gon a small smile, then reached under Qui-Gon's tunic and started to caress his chest, tormenting the master's nipples by pulling slightly on them. Qui-Gon responded beautifully, giving a sharp gasp with each tug. His master's eyes closed and his head tilted back, giving Obi-Wan a very nice view of his long, elegant neck.

"Oh, you like that, don't you Master?" Obi-Wan bit his lower lip as he watched his master writhe upon his lap. If he kept this up, his revenge wouldn't last very long at all.

/Obi-Wan...don't stop...oh love, so good/ Qui-Gon's mental voice urged him was becoming incoherent every time Obi-Wan gave a nipple a hard tweak. The man on his lap was breathing in long, shuddering gasps. It was clear the man was going to come if he put his mouth on one of the succulent circles of dark flesh. He considered doing it, too, but then his revenge would be wasted. Some considered revenge a dish best served cold, but Obi-Wan was not known for his patience. As if Qui-Gon had caught on to what Obi-Wan was planning, the master reassured him that he was correct about how sensitive he was when he kissed the young man very passionately. Obi-Wan thought it was a pity that the two of them were still fully dressed. The Padawan was wondering if the master was sensitive in other interesting places when the air taxi came to an abrupt stop.

/I do hope you have money for the taxi, Master/ Obi-Wan sent, reluctant to break the mind-blowing kiss Qui-Gon was giving him. The softness of his master's mouth and tongue were doing wonderful things to his senses. The silky length of Qui-Gon's tongue dueled with his as Obi-Wan wrapped one hand around the back of his master's neck.

/???/ was Qui-Gon's confused reply, and Obi-Wan made an effort to stop caressing the broad chest of his master and forcefully brought his arousal to a halt. It certainly wouldn't do for him to walk into the Jedi Temple with a raging hard-on. His master was worse off than he was, the older man's cock was hard enough to pound nails and with the soft brush of his free hand, Obi-Wan felt a small amount of liquid erupting from the tip. The impressive member was horribly confined in the tight navy leggings his master wore. Perhaps he should divert Qui-Gon's considerable focus while he could.

/Have you forgotten that we're in the back seat of an air taxi, Master?/ was Obi-Wan's question.

/Doesn't matter where I am, as long as you are with me, Padawan./

/Ooh, how romantic. I feel the same, Master, but we need to leave the backseat now and YOU have to pay the driver./ Obi-Wan sent to him and tried to push Qui-Gon off of his lap gently. Qui-Gon snapped himself back to reality reluctantly, shaking his head. This resulted in messing up his long mane quite thoroughly, causing Obi-Wan to chuckle and brush it casually from his master's face. The privacy shield was dispersed and the cab driver looked on with interest as Qui-Gon fumbled amongst his belt to get his credit chip. Qui-Gon handed it to the patient driver of the cab, thanking him, then followed Obi-Wan out the side of the taxi. He whimpered at his own strong arousal, instantly desiring the long, flowing robes of the Jedi other than these tight-fitting civilian clothes. The older man cursed his arousal, and he found himself wishing that Obi-Wan had given him some release back in the cab as the two of them approached the door to the Jedi Temple, but it was certainly too late now. Qui-Gon only hoped that the late hour insured no one would be up to see him stagger through the halls with an enormous erection that would make a wookie proud. It was surprisingly painful to walk in such a state.

"Obi-Wan..." he spoke, causing the young man to turn around and look at him. Obi-Wan's gaze traveled over his form in a brief, hungry look.

"Yes Master?"

Qui-Gon took Obi-Wan by the shoulders and turned the young man around until he was walking right in front of him. It would be torture, but at least with Obi-Wan walking in front of him, he had his padawan's help in blocking out curious eyes.

"I know it makes you uncomfortable, but please, walk in front of me" 'force, what an ass....if only I could bury myself in him right now, but I must wait!' Qui-Gon thought to himself as he took notice of Obi-Wan's fine, curved buttocks pushing against the fabric of his leggings. Obi-Wan must have caught wind of what he was thinking, for the young man gasped and looked at him over his shoulder. His hazel eyes were smoldering, and Qui-Gon had to give him a little shove to get the young man moving. His master was feeling quite self-conscious at the moment.

/I haven't walked through the temple with an erection since my apprenticeship, Obi-Wan/ Obi-Wan heard through their bond, causing him to chuckle softly.

/Oh Master, where has your self control gone to?/ Obi-Wan chided gently, and let his master sense his amusement trickle along their link.

/That flew my mind the instant I saw your face as you climaxed, my Obi-Wan./ To that, Obi-Wan had no solid answer but to broadcast his feelings to the man he so loved. Qui-Gon staggered slightly under the weight of the love, desire and happiness that his apprentice felt. His eyes brightened and he sent him a loving caress through their bond. Obi-Wan stopped short at the doors to the temple to punch in the code to get inside, and Qui-Gon took advantage of that. He touched his tall body against Obi-Wan's, bent his head down to nuzzle gently against the side of his Padawan's neck. Obi-Wan gasped and jumped at the languid touch of his master's mouth and beard caressing him just at the base of his neck. The sensation aroused him greatly, and it was difficult enough to tamp down his arousal before Qui-Gon teased him. Thankfully, the door slid open and he broke away from the older man, beckoning him to come inside. Qui-Gon moved quickly, not wanting to be seen in such a state by anyone but Obi-Wan. The anticipation was getting to be too much for him. He had the sinking feeling that he was going to be begging Obi-Wan for release and enjoying it despite himself. Obediently he followed Obi-Wan to the lifts that went to their apartment in the Jedi dormitories. Once the door to lift opened, Qui-Gon had some interesting ideas about what he wanted to do to his padawan, but was dismayed when he saw none other than Master Yoda standing, waiting to get up to his own quarters. Qui-Gon gave a sharp gasp, hiding himself as much as he could behind Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan acted as if he were expecting him there.

"Good evening, Master Yoda" he spoke in that even, elegant voice.

/Sith, of all people to run against, it had to be him/Qui-Gon thought, coming up close behind his Padawan. Kenobi jumped forward, startled because he was given a good poke in the ass by Qui-Gon's stubborn erection.

"Good evening, Padawan Kenobi" was Yoda's reply. The ancient Jedi master gave Qui-Gon a quizzical look until the older man greeted him. Yoda couldn't figure out why his former Padawan refused to come out from behind Obi-Wan. At least he couldn't until he sensed the arousal coming from the two of them. It was like being in a sudden heat wave, and Yoda grinned uncontrollably, his thin lips just about stretching from ear to ear as the realization hit him. They were finally together! 'Humph, took them long enough' he thought to himself as Kenobi reached over to press the button to their floor. Qui-Gon started, seeing his cover was blown, grabbed his Padawan by the hips and pulled him back in front of him. Obi-Wan let out a cry of indignity and quickly looked over to where Yoda was watching them with bright green eyes.

/Master! Not in front of Yoda!/Obi-Wan complained, but Qui-Gon only chuckled softly and let go of him, his muscular arms hanging innocently at his own sides. Obi-Wan's brow furrowed at the innocent look Qui-Gon was giving him.

"Not good, to tease a Jedi Master is" was Yoda's only message to the scandalized young man standing in front of him. At first, Obi-Wan just gaped open-mouthed, unable to think of an appropriate comeback.

"I'm just learning that myself, Master Yoda, thank you, I will keep that in mind in the near future" was the young man's reply, and Yoda was satisfied with that. Yoda looked at his former Padawan, only to see the man enchanted with his Padawan. The master made a note to himself to take them off the active duty roster for a week. It would be detrimental to the Jedi if his love-smitten ex-Padawan got into trouble because he was too focused on Obi-Wan. He doubted he would get much argument from either of them. Qui-Gon noticed he was being watched by Yoda and gave him a rare, beautiful smile, the kind that actually reached those midnight blue eyes of his. Yoda smiled back and nodded once. He was pleased to see the master so happy. The doors slithered open with a loud hiss, they had arrived at their floor, but neither of them seemed to notice.

"Your floor it is" Yoda said, indicating the open doors with his gimer stick. He laughed softly when the two of them gave him brief goodbyes and hurried out the door.

"AH!" Obi-Wan yelped when Qui-Gon grabbed him unceremoniously the instant they entered their combined quarters and pulled him into a desperate, searching kiss. With his arms around his master's slender waist, he tried to maneuver them to something at least somewhat softer than the floor. If he could just get them to the nice, soft couch that sat in the middle of their living quarters, he would be happier. Sensing that thought, and not quite thinking of the sofa as a great venue, Qui-Gon lifted the young man in his arms and dragged him into his sleeping area as they still kissed. Obi-Wan growled when he was flung onto the bed, but then started grinning when he watched his master strip faster than he thought possible. Clothes and boots were flung to the far corner of the room by the anxious Jedi Master. Finally, the handsome man stood at the side of the bed fully naked and eying his apprentice with a predatory gleam. Obi-Wan forgot how to breath for a moment, his hazel eyes memorizing the sight of his aroused master. He was interrupted by a soft mental push from Qui-Gon. Realizing he was the only one in the room fully clothed, he started fumbling with his own clothing, first unfastening the belt and then struggling with his tunics and stoles. Qui-Gon folded his arms across his broad chest and smiled as he watched Obi-Wan struggle with his clothes like a virgin on his first date. Obi-Wan yelped when he was given a quick force touch right on the crack of his ass.

"Master!" he cried out, glared at his master only to have Qui-Gon raise his eyebrows at him and give him another quick grope, this time on his chest, just shy of a nipple.

"Well, Obi-Wan? Hurry up or else I'll have to take matters into my own hands" with that, Qui-Gon took his impressive erection into one large hand, running the fingers over his tense arousal. He groaned softly at his own touch. Briefly, Qui-Gon wondered if he should masturbate in front of his apprentice to relieve himself of the aching hardness that had plagued him since they entered the air taxi.

"Do that often, Master?" Obi-Wan quipped as he finally removed his tunics and began fighting with the fastenings on his leggings. At the sight his master was making, Obi-Wan felt his mouth go dry. Licking his lips as he pulled off his boots quickly, then pushed down his pants, throwing them to the floor. He noted with pride that his impetuous question didn't flag his master in the least. He felt the sheer passion flowing along their training bond towards him, and he sent his own love and desire to the man he so cherished.

"Only when I think of you, my beautiful Obi-Wan" was his master's reply as Qui-Gon moved closer to his Padawan.

"Oh, Master" Obi-Wan whispered and knelt on the bed before Qui-Gon. The older man's hands dropped to his sides, allowing Obi-Wan to fold into a quick embrace his soon-to-be lover's arms, with his head nestled against his master's thundering heart.

"I love you, Qui-Gon" he whispered fervently, and he felt the Jedi's arms tighten around him in response. Qui-Gon leaned in and gently brushed his lips against the top of Obi-Wan's head.

"I love you very much, Obi-Wan" he replied in kind. "Are you sure this is what you want?" he asked, allowing Obi-Wan to feel the steel-hard erection against him.

"More than anything, Master" was Obi-Wan's reply, and this made Qui-Gon smile broadly. His master pulled away from him to sit beside him.

"Oh? Even more than becoming a knight?" Qui-Gon joked, then drew his apprentice down with him until both of them were lying half-on, half-off of the large bed. Obi-Wan perked up his head, startled momentarily.

"It won't come to that, will it?" To that, Qui-Gon chuckled and drew Obi-Wan up until he was on top of him.

"Stars, no! Obi-Wan, I would never risk your knighthood, no matter how strong my feelings for you are" Qui-Gon reassured Obi-Wan, then took a hold of Obi-Wan's Padawan braid, pulling him down until their lips met in a passionate kiss. His master embraced him tight, one hand on his buttocks, the other on the back of his head. Qui-Gon pulled away the hair tie that kept Obi-Wan's miniature pony tail in place, then massaged the back of his head gently. The full length of their bodies pressed together as they kissed. Obi-Wan groaned loudly, pushing against Qui-Gon's hips in a very suggestive manner. Obi-Wan broke off the kiss to press his lips against whatever flesh he could reach. The older man started panting harshly, and was soon moaning and thrashing beneath Obi-Wan.

/Master?/ he asked, concerned.

/I can't take it anymore! Going to explode, my love/ was his master's frantic reply. Obi-Wan was going to speak, but found the taste of his master's earlobes irresistible and was reluctant to release his master's skin.

"Where do you want to come, Master?" he whispered, still tonguing the sweet-tasting ear.

/?/

"My mouth, or my ass?" he asked again, his voice coming across as husky and impatient.

"Kiss me" Qui-Gon answered, pushing down on the other man's shoulders. Obi-Wan quickly complied with his master's impatient desire, and trailed his lips down the man's body until he had Qui-Gon's enormous erection in his mouth.

"More!" Qui-Gon cried out as the young man began sucking his cock gently. He didn't want gentleness, he wanted the younger man to practically suck the skin off of him. Somehow sensing this, Obi-Wan took Qui-Gon's cock deep into his hot, wet mouth and sucked hard. With a powerful thrust of his hips, Qui-Gon shouted and climaxed, spilling his seed deep into his lover's mouth. His padawan continued sucking greedily until his master's erection softened. Obi-Wan sat up to look into his lover's eyes of midnight blue.

"All right, Master?" Obi-Wan asked, as he caressed Qui-Gon's broad, heaving chest lovingly. The taste of Qui-Gon's passion still lingered in his mouth. It was salty, slightly bitter, and he knew he would always enjoy the flavor of his beloved's spent passion. His own erection throbbed insistently, but he refused to succumb until Qui-Gon had recovered. For now, he was satisfied that he was able to drive Qui-Gon into such a state of abandon. He remained at his side, caressing Qui-Gon's chest, arms and face until the man's ragged breathing lessened.

"Obi-Wan, that was wonderful" his master's eyes shone with desire and affection, "what can I do for you? What would you like?" Qui-Gon reached up to draw Obi-Wan into his arms and then kissed him firmly on the lips.

/Want you. Want to make love to you, Qui-Gon/ Obi-Wan replied, rubbing his solid cock against Qui-Gon's stomach. He reached up with both of his hands and tangled them in the silky mass of long brown and silver hair that he had always wanted to touch.

/Anything, Obi-Wan, I want you to have me/ Qui-Gon slid his tongue into Obi-Wan's mouth, playing along the young man's teeth and tongue. For minutes, they lay locked in that passionate embrace, caressing and kissing one another until Obi-Wan finally pulled away. Another instant of his master's heated embrace and certainly he would have found the release he so needed, but that was not where he planned on coming. His gaze roamed the darkened room.

"There's lube in the second drawer from the top, Obi-Wan" his master said as the man continued to stroke strong calloused hands over his apprentice's muscular abdomen. Obi-Wan kissed him on the lips, then reluctantly drew himself up to retrieve the lubricant. As much as he wanted to bury himself deep into Qui-Gon, he refused to hurt the man because of his own passion. Having quickly retrieved it, he found that Qui-Gon had sprawled across the bed, lying on his side. Obi-Wan found the pose quite striking, sensual and casual at the same time. Qui-Gon's eyes brightened when he saw Obi-Wan's manhood so aroused for him, it caused his own cock to twitch. He reached down with one slowly moving hand and began stroking his own cock to new life. His apprentice opened the small bottle of lubricant and poured himself a sufficient amount. Slathering his cock with the slippery fluid, he stood watching as Qui-Gon mimicked his motions on his own body.

"Master, please roll onto your stomach" he said, and Qui-Gon complied with his wishes with a graceful twist of his body. His apprentice straddled his waist, but he was pleased to feel a loving caress instead of going straight to his backside. Obi-Wan's hands ran over the muscles of his back, causing him to forget everything but the touch of those talented fingers. Moving lower, Obi-Wan parted his legs with the push of his hands. He groaned at the picture that his master made in the dim lights of his bedroom. Qui-Gon's round, muscular buttocks were very tempting, the muscular back, thick, strong thighs, all covered with a large expanse of smooth, glistening and very tasty skin. Silvery brown hair covered his master's handsome face from view, as it spilled over his shoulders and the pillow he rested his head upon.

"You are so beautiful, Master" he whispered hoarsely and was rewarded by a bright smile from Qui-Gon as the master looked at him over his broad shoulder.

"Come, Obi-Wan" he entreated his student, and lifted his hips a fraction off of the bed in offering. What the young apprentice did then almost caused Qui-Gon to black out from the sheer pleasure of it. Obi-Wan had bent down and placed his mouth tentatively between his master's buttocks. The older man gasped when he felt the very tip of Obi-Wan's tongue tickle the tight opening, then he slid his tongue to his balls and back up again. Licking Qui-Gon's anus with great rapture, Obi-Wan finally slid his tongue inside Qui-Gon, causing the man to jump and cry out in ecstasy. Obi-Wan found his new lover's responsiveness most pleasing, and rewarded Qui-Gon by thrusting his tongue in deeper and twisting it around.

"Obi-Wan!" Qui-Gon cried out, though his apprentice's tonguing him was fantastic, he wanted something far more substantial and was getting impatient. Obi-Wan pulled away from his delicious master, took a hold of the lubricant and was about to prepare his fingers with shaking hands.

"No, skip that, Take me, Obi-Wan!" Qui-Gon growled, his voice harsh from pleasure. Obi-Wan grabbed his master's waist and guided himself to his master's entrance. Qui-Gon first flinched at the sensation of Obi-Wan's cock pressing into him, but forced himself to relax. The slick cock of his padawan pushed past the first tight ring of muscle and Qui-Gon moaned deeply. Obi-Wan paused, not wanting to hurt Qui-Gon, but at that moment of hesitation, Qui-Gon pushed back with a thrust of his hips. Sensing a wave of love, desire and passion along their bond, both lovers began moving together in a hard, driving rhythm.

"Oh! Obi-Wan, feels so good! Harder!"

"Yes, Master!" Obi-Wan groaned loudly as he set into a pounding rhythm that had his master moaning and writhing beneath him on the bed. Through the bond they had always shared, both of them were able to feed off of the other's ecstasy, and soon there was no difference between the one taking and giving. All sense of self was lost in the intense waves of emotion between the two men making love. Obi-Wan reached around with one hand to capture his master's erection. The older man whimpered and bucked backwards, adding power to his padawan's strong thrusting. As he responded to his lover's powerful thrusts, he felt himself teetering on the edge of immense pleasure. Qui-Gon was the first to come to his senses as his body trembled with intense pleasure.

"Yes!" He screamed out his lover's name as he spilled his seed into the bedding. Obi-Wan was not far behind as he thrust deeply into Qui-Gon three more times, then stilled, filling Qui-Gon with hot, thick fluid with a cry that vibrated throughout Qui-Gon's room. He collapsed on top of the older man, panting heavily. Gingerly, he pulled his softening member from Qui-Gon's body, then nestled against him. Qui-Gon used what little strength to move onto his side. His apprentice quickly moved into the space created for him and nestled against the larger man. Noting to himself that he was hot, sweaty and tired, Obi-Wan considered inviting Qui-Gon to a nice refreshing shower, then realized he didn't want to move at all now that he was finally holding his master in his arms.

"Obi-Wan, I love you, and I" he spoke, his voice still a little harsh as it broke the peaceful silence between them. His apprentice stopped his sentence short with a small, tender kiss.

"Say no more, Master. I love you deeply, and treasure your new place in my life as much as I do being your Padawan" was his young lover's reply. The older man gathered Obi-Wan more tightly in the strong circle of his arms. Kissing each other with a gentleness not found in their earlier embrace, they confirmed their love with sweet touches of the lips and light caressing. Too tired for much else, they soon drifted off to sleep, still holding one another.
