#13 "I never knew it could be this way."

You collapse on his chest. You smile as you feel his hand lazily rub your back. You could have stayed like that for the rest of your life.

He kissed the top of your head, "I never knew it could be this way." He said softly.

"How is that?" You asked him.

"I have always had to make sure that no living person removed my helmet, or that I removed it in front of anyone. So... kisses " He places another kiss on your forehead, "Tasting you on my lips." He paused a moment as he remembered all you had done to each other over the last forty-five minutes. "That could not have happened had you not been so smart."

He places a finger under your chin and brings your mouth up to his for a hungry kiss. "Y/N, I want you to stay with me... will you?"

You smiled and laid your head back on his chest. "I am not going anywhere." You listened to the beat of his heart and closed your eyes. "But, can I ask you why you don't take it off?"

He took a deep breath, "I was not born a Mandolorian, I was taken into a clan as a child and raised as one of them. So when they gave me armor. It became a part of who I am, and I am so thankful that I will never take it off."

"And if you do?" You asked softly.

"I can never put it back on. For this is my face as a Mandalorian, this is who I am. If I am seen without it, then I no longer am." He sounded forlorn, yet like his decision was ingrained in him.

You have awoken a little while later alone in his bed. Covered by a blanket, when you brought it to your face it smelled like him. That is when you realized that the blindfold was gone, and so was the Mandalorian.

"Mando?" You said softly.

"Up here." Said the familiar modulated voice. You sighed and looked for your clothes. Your tank had been torn in half, so you slipped your panties back on, then made your way to the cockpit with his blanket wrapped around you to cover your nakedness.

"What's the plan now?" You asked him.

He looked back at you, "You might need more than a blanket when we leave the ship. But I like that look for when we are here. We are on our way to drop off our cargo hold friend."

Did he just say he wanted you again? Was this going to be your new relationship from now on? You found a new level of happiness. "I will get dressed right away."

The Mandalorian hit a key on a panel to his left, "Oh, and go to the weapons locker and pick something out for yourself."

As you were looking over the collection of weapons you had to choose from, the Mandalorian was waking your guest of honor for his date with the person who paid for the bounty.

When the ship set down, the Mandalorian lowered the ramp, then the two of you walked the prisoner along the path.

The sound of a lightsaber caused you to look over your shoulder. The blood drained from your face. "Y/N, I was beginning to feel that the Mandalorian had decided to keep you for himself. But I see he came to his senses."

"I am here to drop off this scum for my fee." The hunter pushed the handcuffed man forward. "She is not up for negotiation."

The man plunged the saber into the assailant's abdomen, "I could give two shits about this man" Then he pushed him back with his boot. "This was just to draw you out and you took the bait."

"I don't think you hear me, where I go... She goes." The Mandalorian said and put his hand on his blaster.

The area came alive with troopers and men holding blaster rifles all aimed at the two of you. "So I have heard." The man said calmly.
