"Hey," you smiled weakly by the sound of his voice.

"Hi," You whispered back, with your shallow morning voice, turning around to face him.

Qimir was relieved to see the smile that faced him. It looked like you, again. This time he couldn't sense anything weighting you down, no lies to save face. It was just you. He missed it. You laid your hand on his chest, as you leaned over to him, kissing his lips. Qimir could get used to waking up like this every morning. You made life easier, lighter. One kiss turned into more, and before he knew it, you were hovering over him on all four, in a heated make out session.

"Hey, I've been thinking," You began, resting your forehead against his, almost breathless after your little session.

"Or dreaming," Your cheeks turned red. Qimir was definitely intrigued now. He watched as you straighten up and sat on his lap. His hand automatically gravteting to your thighs, gently brushing his fingertips against your skin.

"We should just go to Canto Bight, rest-" Qimir didn't let you be exited for long.

"Canto Bight?" He asked shocked by your suggestion.

"Yeah, it's an unrestricted area of the republic, we would be safe," You laughed low, and slowly leaned down towards his face.

You kissed his lips.

"We could rent a room, be by the beach, drink champagne..." The list was long, but it did have one thing that you knew would lock the deal. You leaned down to his ear.

"And you know what else Canto Bing has?" You asked teasingly, with your cozy voice.

It was dangerous for you to speak to him in that voice. You knew exactly what you were doing to him. He could already feel his blood pumping. Your lips began to kiss his neck, up to his temple. He could feel his breath hitch. Your hand was planted on his chest, caressing him. Qimir felt like he was going insane.

"My herbs," You whispered.

In under a second, Qimir grabbed both your hands and pinned you down on the mattress, hovering over you. He knew exactly what herbs you were speaking about. You had mentioned them to him before. Fuck, he could feel himself getting exited just by the thought. And you were right, maybe being a bit selfish wouldn't hurt. Canto Bing was an exciting place, full of opportunities. But, it was a risk. A risk he wasn't sure he wanted to make. The two of you were happy here, you could make it work.

"Aren't we okay here?" He suggested.

You tilted your head, frowning. It looked adorable.

"We are... But I just... was so scared yesterday, and-" You were holding on to the last part.

"I just thought some fun time with my husband would ease my mind," You were smiling from ear to ear.

Ah, Qimir could feel your words warming him up. You had not forgotten about your little word play. It would be fine to leave for just some days, it wasn't like the galaxy was going to tear apart if the two of you just had some fun for a little time. The two of you were humans, with human needs. After you had mentioned the herbs, Qimir knew himself had some human needs he needed to relief.

"How can I say no to my wife?" He whispered.
