A Cold Start - Anakin x Reader

all for you

Panting hard, Anakin pulled back.

“Y/N.”, his voice came out hoarse, so he had to swallow.

“Baby.”, he whispered and paused again, his eyes locking onto mine.

“I love you. With every fibre of my body. I love you so damn much it hurts. Thank you for being you.”

Anakin looked vulnerable, yet so determined as he said the words and my heart swelled more and more with each syllable being spoken. His blue eyes were filled with so much emotion that it looked like he was baring his soul to me. I knew that he meant every word that he said. He had said them to me before, only this time it felt completely different, because so much had changed since then. Maybe not so much for him, but for me. This time I reciprocated his feelings- and it was an incredible thing. A warmth spread through me that I had never felt before and all the butterflies in my stomach were going crazy. In that moment, I realized that I was no longer the same person who had once resisted Anakin's love, just like he wasn’t the same idiot he once was. He and I had grown and evolved, and my heart was now open to him in a way that I had never imagined possible.

I reached out and touched his face gently, feeling the warmth of his skin and the strength of his jaw. I could feel the tension in his body as he waited for my response, and I couldn't help but smile.

“Don’t say ‘thank you’ to me, Ani.”

“I meant it though. But I could say something else, if you insist. Got any wishes?”

He took my hand that was holding the side of his face and placed a tender kiss on my knuckles, his eyes never leaving mine.

“No. I’ll leave that up to your creativity.”, I smiled.

“You know I’m not as good with words as you... But I’m great at expressing my feelings through actions.”, he grinned.

I chuckled, feeling my cheeks heat up as Anakin's flirtatious tone hit me. I knew he was great at that. Be it in battle where he expressed his anger at the opponent with impressive attacks or be it with me. In the short time we had gotten more intimate with each other, he had already given me a good taste of what he had in store to express his adoration and desire for me. And I felt like there was so much more he had to offer, given how all of his emotions were far stronger than those of a regular person- including emotions in the field of love and passion.

“Oh, really now? And what kind of actions are you thinking of?”, I asked confidently, curious what he had in mind this time.

Anakin leaned in, his lips just grazing my ear as he whispered, “Well, let me show you.”

With that, he quickly lifted me off of his lap in a swift motion and carried me to the little cabin of the ship that I knew had a provisional bed inside like the one on the old ship. My heart was beating fast as he gently laid me down on it. The room was all too familiar, but the spark in the air was a completely new one. Without wasting another second, Anakin crawled on top of me. Hovering over me now with a wicked grin on his face, I couldn't help but giggle at his playful demeanour, but my laughter quickly turned to quiet little moans as he started to pepper kisses down my neck.

Anakin stopped and chuckled softly against my skin.

"You like that, don't you?", he murmured, his breath hot.

“Maybe a little too much.”, I admitted breathlessly as I felt the hand that wasn’t holding him up starting to wander down my side. His touch was electric.

“Well, I aim to please.”, he grinned down at me, his hair hanging down his face in a dramatic wave.

“And I- may not be as eloquent as you-, but I hope my actions can show you- just how much you mean to me." he said between kisses.
His hand trailed under the fabric of my top and softly stroked up and down my side. I got goosebumps and couldn't help but let out another soft sigh. His actions really were speaking volumes more than any words could.
