Chapter 70: A Moment in Paradise

—Planet of Ylesia—

Izuku hummed in pleasure as Aayla leaned into his side.

They'd had to act vaguely professional when meeting aboard the Knight Errant again, after entirely too long apart. After a few stolen kisses in an elevator, they'd had to dive right into a professional debrief for his personas as both Admiral Midoriya and Sovereign of the Liberty Council.

That last title was one that hadn't been used much, and Izuku wasn't entirely happy about it. They'd wanted to firmly steer away from 'Chancellor' for obvious reasons of comparison to the Republic, of course. His own suggestions of 'President' and 'Prime Minister' had been shot down as inaccurate, however.

Strictly speaking, his role wasn't yet an elected one. Someday it would be, and the mechanisms were in placed for when that distant day came to be. But currently such was not the case. Effectively, he was far closer to a King or autocrat, even if one with strict limits on certain actions. Given their goals, however, 'King' was also a descriptor to avoid. So, Sovereign it was, at least for now, and Aayla had needed to give a report to that persona as well as to his military one.

Now, however, those irritatingly justified hours of professionalism were behind them, and Izuku had arranged a proper escape for them. It had been several days since the capture of Ylesia, more than long enough for the fighting to have already ended. Without any additional actual Hutts on planet, it had been relatively easy to get the second city of Retchukka to surrender with minimal fighting, and they'd moved on to processing both prisoners and slaves. Izuku wasn't needed for that effort, and Asora had firmly pushed him away from working to have a day off with his lady. Thus it was that they'd taken a speeder out to a remote island on the tropical world, one with no record of having ever been populated by anyone.

Aside from a handful of Mei-designed bodyguard droids that were holding a perimeter against potential interruptions from wildlife or assassins, the two of them were entirely alone. Which, of course, was why Aayla was entirely naked as she leaned against him, with both of them resting on a gorgeously pristine stretch of beach. A bit of Force use had kept any wildlife in the waters away as they splashed and played in the surf, then then two of them had enjoyed a very nice picnic meal on the sands. Well, on a large blanket, at least. Sand got everywhere and wasn't a friend to naked people, so they'd taken appropriate precautions.

Of course, Izuku also had some other preparations that they hadn't gotten to yet. They'd certainly been 'hands on' while playing in the surf. But they hadn't yet properly reunited in certain ways that both were anticipating. Frankly, just basking in each other's presence had been more important to both of them at first, but the time spent frolicking and snacking in the nude had certainly set a certain mood. One that he was fully prepared to follow through on. Grinning wickedly, he reached out with the Force to the 'picnic basket,' really a high-tech food preservation unit, and unlatched the much cooler 'dessert compartment' at the bottom of the container. There, he laid his mental hands on something he'd searched out an equivalent for in the galaxy.

Whipped cream.

Specifically, the canned variety that you could apply in fun ways.

-Lemon Starts Here-

Aayla stirred from her half-doze at the feel of aroused mischief coming from him, not protesting even a little as he shifted his shoulder out from under her. Even not knowing what he had planned, she could sense the general direction of where this was going, a spike of eager arousal shooting through her as he shifted to straddle her. He pinned her in place with his weight on her stomach, quickly capturing her hands to lift them over her head. Leaning in, he engaged her in a slow kiss that left her moaning and squirming. Not trying to escape, of course, she very much enjoyed being right where she was. But clearly wanting more.

Freeing one hand while keeping Aayla's wrists captured with the other, Izuku caught the can of SwiftWhip that had been floating toward them. The stuff wasn't quite the same as what he remembered from Earth, being a light purple rather than white, and tasting a bit more like agave nectar than sugar. Still, it was textured about the same as whipped cream, and a nice sweet treat overall. Just as importantly for his initial plans to surprise her, it actually came out a bit colder than the Earth variant. Which came into play when he managed to pop off the lid and bring the dispenser tip to one of his lover's nipples without her noticing, thoroughly distracted by the ongoing kiss.

Grinning, he pulled away from that kiss just in time to depress the nozzle, drawing a foaming line of cold, purple whipped treat around her left nipple. Aayla gasped in an indescribable mix of pleasure and shock, back reflexively arching as she instinctively tried to escape the cold. Given how strong she was, had Izuku not pressed them both down just a bit with the Force, she might have outright bucked him off. As it was, he managed to ride her reaction out, then throw her already scrambling mind into overload by shifting down to suck the treat off, exchanging cold shock for warm pleasure. Aayla moaned, and he grinned around her nipple as he took advantage of that moan to spray a small amount of the treat into her mouth. The startled cry at that quickly turned to surprised delight at the sweet taste, even as he kept up the assault by moving the can to her other nipple.

He assaulted that one just as he had the first, Aayla shuddering in pleasure at the alternating cold and heat as he repeated his earlier pattern. Exchanging his physical grip of her wrists for a telekinetic hold a moment later, he started working his way down her body, applying alternating cold and heat to every sensitive spot he'd found on his lover over the years they'd been together. By the time he caused her to practically howl by spraying the cold dessert over her most sensitive bits, she was half-incoherently begging to cum. Grinning, he refused to oblige her just yet, keeping his attention light enough to edge her as he nibbled and licked away the treat.

Smirking at her babbling pleas, he pulled another item from their things, then surprised her by rapidly shifting, swapping their positions with her ending up dazed and disoriented as she straddled his body. Her disorientation lasted long enough to snap the handcuffs he'd retrieved with the Force around her wrists, trapping her hands and arms behind her back. She jerked at the sound of the lock closing, tugging instinctively at the cuffs. He reached up to flick a nipple, drawing her attention even as he used the can of SwiftWhip to draw a line around his own nipple. Sure, they weren't all that sensitive, but there was a point to be made here.

"Now, now. I wouldn't be fair for only me to have dessert. Or only you to have fun~. Be a good girl and lick up all the treats and I'll finish up your own happy ending, hmmm?"

A flash of understanding lit Aayla's eyes, and enough thoughts had returned to her fuzzy head to find her voice, playing into the game.

"Of course, Master~. Let your Good Girl have her treats too…"

He might not have gotten as much out of it as his lover as he drew lines with the cold treat for her to lick off his body, but Izuku couldn't and wouldn't pretend that the way she wiggled and squirmed as she went to work wasn't a delight. She intentionally made it as much of a show as possible, twice even going so far as to use her boobs to massage the lines of cream into a mess before cleaning up. Getting an idea from that, Izuku shifted his original plan and flipped them again once it was time for her to go below his waist.

Instead of just encouraging a messy blowjob, he straddled Aayla's chest and grinned. She wasn't quite as top heavy as Mei, but she was more than big enough for what he had in mind. He drew a thick line of whipped treat between her breasts…then slapped his throbbing erection down between them. Discarding the can, he used both hands to fold her breasts around his cock and began to slowly thrust. Happily getting into the act, Aayla opened her mouth, extending her slightly-longer-than-human tongue to swirl and scoop, collecting as much of the 'treat' as she could with each thrust. Izuku groaned, knowing he wouldn't last long as this rate. Only keeping it up for a minute or so, he eventually decided enough was enough.

One last flip, this time using the Force, had Aayla face and tits down on the blanket, ass in air. A quick adjustment and he plunged home in her welcoming pussy, drawing desperate sounds from both of them as they fully connected after far too long apart. Trying to hold out as long as he could, he didn't hold back, pounding hard and fast as he could, with Aayla rapidly coming unglued under him. He didn't quite make it, cumming hard before his lover, but the pulses of deep heat and the extra-hard slam as he buried himself deep set her off only an instant after him. They both shuddered through their release…then gasped in synch as Izuku used the Force to revitalize himself and started thrusting all over again, albeit at a more sedate pace.

One wasn't nearly enough after such a separation, after all…

... ...

-Lemon Continues-

Aayla blinked in surprise as she held the small box in her hand. After just three rounds, the two of them had cleaned off, Izuku grinningly assuring her they weren't done yet as she tried to pull him into round four. A quick dip in the ocean had rid them of the sticky leftovers for the most part, and Izuku had made sure to keep the fires stoked a bit as they played grab ass while getting the rest of the way clean with some towels and sanitizer.

Then, he'd produced the clamshell container in Aayla's hands. One he hadn't told her about yet.

"She did what?"

There was a mix of awe, confusion, disbelief, and arousal radiating off his lover as she stared at the box. The familiar box that Izuku had first encountered when he'd made his most recent visit to Mei. One he'd opened several times since then, mostly just to tease the contents, and only twice to 'use' it. He was technically supposed to be lightly disciplining Mei, after all. Even if in a way that was fun for both of them.

"She figured out how to make quantum portals just so she could turn herself into a, and this is a direct quote, 'a remote access sex toy for our long distance relationship.'"

Aayla let out an incredulous laugh, even as her arousal spiked a bit at the implications.

"So, she's currently…"

"Stuck in a chastity belt, while the only access to her pussy is in a box a hundred lightyears away, currently in your hands? Yep."

Aayla caressed the box, then grinned.

"Okay, that's fucking hot, and I want one the next time we're forced to separate! Even if, maybe, one with a few more safety steps and limitations…"

Izuku chuckled, even as Aayla raised the box to get a retinal scan. He'd already informed her that it was keyed to both of them, though this was the first chance to test it for Aayla. Sure enough, it clicked open without protest, and Aayla pried the clamshell open to stare at the interior. There, neatly framed and highlighted by the glow of the portal just as is had been when Izuku first saw it, was Mei's pussy. The box and belt combo had been well thought through to include grooming and hygiene. Leaving the girl's weeping slit hairless and ready for action.

Izuku hadn't let her change the settings much. Something which meant, even aside from his own teasing, the toys inside had been periodically 'rewarding' her. Usually without letting her actually cum. He'd only had her adjust the programming so that it rewarded her more for finishing projects and hitting major milestones instead of just making general progress. It only let her actually cum when she did hit a major milestone, as determined by her assistant who Izuku had press ganged into writing the milestones up. Of course, he'd also insisted on a lockout mode that she could turn on if she was doing anything dangerous. But the fact that it had opened just now meant she wasn't.

What she was, was pretty clearly aroused. Izuku grinned and handed a certain can of sweet treat to Aayla as she stared at Mei's portaled pussy. She blinked, then grinned back at him a little wickedly as she took it and aimed. A moment later, she'd almost certainly made Mei jump a meter wherever she was as she drew a cold line of SwiftWhip over Mei's most sensitive bits…then leaned in to lick it clean with slow deliberation.

There was always room for more dessert, after all. Besides, it wasn't fair that only Aayla and Izuku got to cum their brains out tonight. Mei was part of the relationship too, and she'd so thoughtfully made one of her most important bits accessible for the fun…

-Lemon Ends Here-

... ...

Izuku and Aayla were, sadly, back to work the next morning. For their own sanity, it hadn't been hard to justify their little moment in paradise together. They'd been separated for weeks, under both the stress of combat and the stress of leadership, and they'd needed the day and night together to bleed some of it off. No one had even questioned that, given that the two of them had been driving hard from Day 1 of the invasion, whereas most of their minions had gotten at least some level of recreation time as part of regular rotation to keep morale high and troops sane.

Thankfully, even if they could have wished for another day of fun, the one day they had gotten had done them quite a bit of good. Aayla had particularly enjoyed remotely toying with Mei, once she'd gotten over the complete ridiculousness of what the girl had made as a 'long distance relationship aid.' Refreshed somewhat, they'd both returned to the Knight Errant, with Aayla's own temporary flagship having been sent off to join Admiral Lin. Unlike Izuku, Aayla had never been intended to remain as an independent fleet commander. With more and more of their captains and their handful of commadores accruing the experience needed to lead fleet detachments, she was now back where she felt she could do the most good.

That being, of course, helping Izuku ride the thrashing, wild rancor that they'd created with what was now being officially called either the Freedom Crusade or the Hutt Crusade. The former by the League, the latter by some elements of the Republic. That both shared the term Crusade was a quiet admittance that such was what they had started, even if the term often came with potentially dangerous connotations. Owning it to a certain extent had been deemed the less damaging option, so a Crusade it officially was. Officially, a Crusade targeting the slave and illegal spice trades.

"Admiral Lin is still sounding a bit like she wants to kiss you, Izu. Ziugen was half under our control from a rebellion there already, and Poytta folded without a fight. Now that she has control of the Outland Transit Station, we control every major entrance into Southern Hutt Space. Since their extra-Hutt Space holdings were always more toward galactic south and west, that means they are going to have to go the long way around with more mercenary armies and fleets. At least, if they don't want to take our garrisons and fleets on directly."

Izuku nodded, even if his lips twitched a bit at the colorful way Aayla put it. Admiral Lin had been ecstatic at his actions. She'd diverted down from working her way along The Dead Road hyperlane after she'd been told about his capture of Diyu and Ylesia. She'd managed to take Varl and M'Hanna, but had run into a nasty surprise at Tisht that had slowed her down. The world was one of the few outside Boota Hutta that you couldn't visit without explicit permission from the Hutts, and they'd discovered why when Admiral Lin had run face-first into a Dark Jedi. A Hutt Dark Jedi.

Currently, they had the system under quarantine, but were going to need a serious strike force to go in after Beldorion the Hutt. There was some sort of Force amplification that was happening on the planet that had allowed the centuries old Dark Jedi to crush a Siege-class cruiser that had gotten too close to the planet. Admiral Lin might have simply gone around the world. The Hutts had apparently been shooting down anything that tried to come out of the system for years, meaning the Darksider didn't have a lot to work with in the way of ships.

Before she could, though, word of Izuku's progress had caused her to reroute. Unknown to anyone, save the Hutts themselves, there was an old and little-used hyperlane between Tisht and Poytta. Something she'd discovered when they'd vacuumed data from the Hutt Patrol ships that they'd smashed before even realizing why they were there. Using that data, Admiral Lin had cut down toward galactic south and forced the refueling stations at Poytta to surrender, before linking up with Izuku's ships and moving on to Ziugen and the Outland Transit Station.

The Transit Station was in rough shape, having been heavily damaged in a fight between the bounty hunters Montross and Jango Fett shortly before the invasion of Naboo. But it was functional, and had been built with an eye to guarding the hyperlane into Hutt Space. Repair and upgrade was already underway, and would shortly be able to turn the station into a fortress that could shut down any attempts to enter Hutt Space from that vector. If Admiral Rin could successfully finish her original job and capture Saqqar and Nar Haaska, the Hutts would be virtually cut off from external help in the eastern half of their holdings.

There was still one route from the east, via the Kessel Run or Zerm into Ulmatra, but that route was the single least attractive way to enter Hutt Space. The Kessel Run was dangerous as hell because of the Maw, and Zerm had absolutely horrific weather that made it just shy of a death world and thus not exactly an attractive stop off point into Hutt Space. Given no other choice, the Hutts would obviously use it, and Ulmatra itself wouldn't be an easy world to take as thin as they were starting to be stretched. In fact, Admiral Lin was leery of even trying for the moment. But with the Hutts reduced to that risky route for the galactic east, it was most likely they'd simply start trying to break through from the Republic side on the galactic west. Or through contested corridors with unfriendly neighbors to their southeast.

Both of which were where most of their mercenary fleets were gathering anyway. Dangerous, but holding what they now did, they could potentially eliminate two of the possible fronts. They'd still be facing the need to contain Boota Hutta and fight off incursion from the holdings the Hutts still held to the west. But they were almost in a sustainable position for the slugging match that was sure to come. A better position than they'd hoped for, to be honest.

Hopefully, it would be enough…

... ... ... ... ... ...

AN 1: Yay, Aayla and Izuku are back together! Which, of course, meant sexy lemon times were demanded. Food play isn't really my thing, but I can just barely wrap my head around use of things like whipped cream. So, hopefully I managed to write it decently.

AN 2: Tisht and Beldorion the Hutt. I made another change here. Beldorion is an EU character whose story doesn't QUITE make sense as is. He was supposedly dispatched to a world called Nam Chorios in something like 400 BBY. Where he discovered Force boosting crystals. He and his partner both fell to the Dark Side, where he killed her and then took over the planet.

Problem? Nam Chorios is along a fairly major hyper lane, in a grid sector that seems MUCH too close to the Core to actually be 'Outer Rim Territories.' Its location just flat out doesn't make sense, particularly since the Jedi KNEW he had been sent there. 400 Years closer to the New Sith Wars, the chances they wouldn't have sent someone to find out what happened to him and his partner are...slim. Basically non-existent, actually. Nor is it very likely he'd have just stayed there terrorizing the locals for close to 400 years. Dark Siders generally aren't that passive.

So! I made use of this set of inconsistencies by shifting the planet and combining it with a world in Hutt Space called Tisht. We know ALMOST NOTHING about Tisht, except that the Hutts didn't let anyone go there without permission and that it's on a hyperlane literally called The Dead Road. Thus, I moved Beldorion and the force amplifying crystals there to make the whole thing more sensible.

The Hutts wouldn't have wanted an entire task force of Jedi coming into their space. They might have allowed Beldorion only because he was a fellow Hutt. Then, not wanting more Jedi poking around OR to establish a precedent of Jedi killing a Hutt in their space, they reacted to his takeover of the world by just quarantining it. It's not like his demands to be worshiped, and the occasional torture of a local, would be all that big a deal to the rest of the Hutts after all. So...why not just lock him up there and stonewall the Jedi?

AN 3: Yeah, you probably know this bit by now. Once per release, I point out that I have a  Page with Early Access content. In example, I just released chapters 71-74 of Displaced Hero there, adding just over another 17,000 words which will remain in Early Access until next month. Similarly, there are at least a few Early Access chapters there for ALL of my stories, though NONE of them are ever permanently paywalled. All fanfiction content I make ends up here (or on Fanfiction.net and Questionable Questing) eventually, as new content for each story is released. Typically, there are around 45,000-60,000 words of additional early access content for patrons. As well as chances to vote in polls that influence which stories are updated, pairings, and other such things.
