The Chosen One(s) | Anakin Skywalker x Reader

Chapter 29 - The Stables

*A/N - I have read so many fan fictions about Anakin over the years. I have seen a couple that have included this same plots: 1. fake marriage/foreign planet and 2. Aphrodisiacs (in the form of a drink or sex pollens or fruits). I was definitely heavily inspired by these for the last few chapters. I have been looking through my favourited fanfics to try to give credit to these authors. So far I've found @voicelessyouth's "changing fate", @chokemeanakin's "give me love", and I think one of @and-the-children-too's stories but I can't remember the exact one (if you find one similar pls let me know so I can credit her properly) I've also read a couple similar on ao3, fanfiction.net, and tumblr and it would be impossible to find them all. But I just want to clarify this is not an original idea by me.

I also wanted to say that I've reached 10k on this story!! So crazy!! Thank you thank you my readers! Unfortunately I have a lot of vacation plans this upcoming July so I'm afraid I won't have time to update as frequently this month. I will try my best when time permits.

Lastly, fair warning the next few chapters after this one will be pretty spicy. It's really about to be enemies with benefits like I wrote in the original description. I'm sorry if you don't like this type of content.*

The carriage ride to the stables was filled with Princess Cordelia's flirtatious giggles. Her body was essentially wrapped around Anakin's. My fake husband seemed to enjoy her coquettish actions, whispering in her ear and laughing along with her. Every once in a while, I'd find him glancing at me as if to make sure I was watching.

It's like he wants me to be jealous, but I won't give him the satisfaction. Instead, I'd only roll my eyes at him and pretend to yawn when he looked up at me for a reaction.

Once we reached the stables, the Queen motioned to a viewing area filled with benches. I reluctantly took my seat, cursing Anakin for causing me to miss out on the fun.

"Have you ever rode a horse before, Anakin?" I overheard King Orion ask.

"No, your majesty, we do not have them in Coruscant." Anakin answered as he pet the foreign creature's shiny mane.

"That's a shame. Magnificent creatures, they are." The King gave his horse a firm pat.

"They are." Anakin agreed.

"No better time to learn how to ride one then—Cordelia, sweetheart?" Orion whistled to his eldest daughter. "Why don't you show Anakin the basics of horse riding, hmm?"

The Princess in question skipped eagerly over to Anakin's side. "It would be my pleasure, Daddy." A wide grin was plastered across her face. "I'd love to teach the Prince all about riding."

The way she emphasized riding as she stared at Anakin did not get missed by me. She definitely meant it as a sexual innuendo.

I'm really starting to not like her...

As with almost every skill Anakin has learned, he picked up horse riding exceptionally quickly.

"Anakin's a natural, Daddy!" Princess Cordelia complimented as she rode in beside her father. After practicing around the arena a couple times, they had went out for a ride together through some trails. "Oh look! Here he comes now!"

Anakin rode into the arena effortlessly, looking like a true Prince— like the ones I'd read about in fairytale books as a child with Master Ti. His posture and demeanour appeared annoyingly heroic and regal on that horse.

"Riding such a magnificent stallion. It's perfect! Almost a horse equivalent of himself." The King let out a barrel of laughter, slapping his knee.

He strode his horse right in front of me, parading the fun he had that I had been forcefully left out of because of him. He smirked down at me. "Aren't you going to ask me how my ride was, Princess?"
