Through Imperial Eyes

Epilogue Part 2

Seated on the edge of their daughter's bed, (Y/N) tucked her in for the night and kissed her forehead before joining Thrawn by the doorframe.

"Sweet dreams...You too daddy!" Vurawn said sleepily before closing her eyes. She was probably exhausted after the long day they all had together, mostly from playing and running around with Jaycen and Sabine.

"Thank you Vu'raw'n, see you tomorrow" her father answered with his low and soft voice before shutting the door behind them.

Holding hands as she guided him back to her own bedroom, the young woman was a bit relieved that her daughter had accepted Thrawn so easily. She had imagined their reunion countless times over the past few years and she was happy that everything went smoothly.

Once they entered her room, the former Admiral walked towards the small balcony and took a moment to enjoy the light evening breeze as he looked over the lake glistening with moonlight. The translucent drapes swayed around him, catching the pale blue light as the last embers were dying down in the fireplace.

(Y/N) admired his tall and lean figure while his back was still turned. His dark hair was flowing over his shoulders, his sharp profile highlighted by the dim light from outside. The young woman could still hardly believe he was truly back, that this vision offered to her that night wasn't just another dream. She took off her jewelry, then her long flowy skirt and put it aside on a chair. She was left wearing only her short silky dress, the cool air caressing her exposed skin. She slowly walked towards her partner and embraced him from behind, kissing the back of his shoulder as he glanced at her with a smile. Turning his attention back to his lover, Thrawn commented in a lighthearted tone:

"This was an interesting day. During my exile, I certainly didn't imagine myself sharing a meal with the enemy to celebrate my return."

(Y/N) chuckled, amused by the turn of events as well.

"It went rather well, all things considered. The hardest part was surviving the flight with your Mandolorian friend" he continued before wrapping an arm around her waist and giving her a gentle kiss.

"I did have six years to smooth things out before you got here though. Pretty sure that helped a little!" she mentioned mischievously as she looked into his glowing irises.

Thrawn chuckled and brushed his hand along her bare arm, his fingers leaving a burning feeling on her. Reacting to his touch, she pulled him back in the room slowly, beginning to unbutton his shirt. He combed his fingers through her hair, tossing a strand aside before cupping her face and kissing her neck lovingly. She sighed, her mind forgetting about everyone else and focusing only on the sensation of his lips on her skin.

"I love you" he whispered in her ear. "If only you knew how many times I imagined holding you in my arms again..."

(Y/N) shivered hearing his words. She could imagine all too well. She couldn't count how many nights she laid in her bed reminiscing about their time together before he disappeared. She was pretty sure she held onto those precious memories as much as he did.

"We're here now" she murmured. "And I only want you. Forever."

Their lips found each other and they shared a passionate kiss while the young woman kept undressing him. Her hands caressed his blue skin, feverishly grabbing onto him when his shirt fell on the floor. Thrawn pushed her back against the nearest wall and bit her neck with a sharp breath. (Y/N) was becoming intoxicated under his touch. She wanted him more in that moment than she ever thought possible. Every kiss in her neck made her mind a little hazier. Even behind her closed eyes, she could only see him, his incandescent irises, his strong muscles moving effortlessly under his beautiful blue skin like water in an ocean. Every movement he made resonated through her body and made her crave for more. She undid his pants while he slipped under her dress, enjoying every inch of her skin as he raised the soft fabric above her hips. His hands wandered and eventually his fingers found their way between her legs. (Y/N) moaned under his touch while he started pleasing her slowly, capturing her mouth again and taking her breath away.
