Because Anakin and I had made a bet that he could get me to talk before we arrived at Genosis, I decided to hide in the med bay.

Knowing myself well, being near him would only lead me to temptation, and I really wanted 10 credits.

So I quarantined myself away from him for the time being, and since he was piloting the ship, he had no choice but to leave me to my isolation.

But just as I had begun walking around the med bay, inspecting everything out of boredom, the door opened.

Anakin was standing in the doorway, smirking as he moved to lean against the doorframe with his arms crossed.

"Thought you could hide from me darling?"

I simply quirked my brow and shrugged, a small smile playing at my lips.

I then scrunched up my brows and pretended to fly a spacecraft with my hands, trying to find out why he wasn't piloting the ship anymore.

"Autopilot," he replied nonchalantly.

He pushed himself off the doorframe and made his way over to me.

I started backing up, not wanting him to cage me in the room.

When he began to get too close for comfort, I bolted.

My plan was to run past him so he at least wouldn't have me trapped.

However I didn't count on his Jedi reflexes.

He simply chuckled and put his right arm out in front of me, effectively blocking me from reaching the door.

He then proceeded to wrap his hand around my waist, pulling me to him.

"That was a bold move, too bad it didn't work out the way you planned," he smirked down at me, clearly pleased that he already had the advantage.

I scowled at him, trying to show him that I wouldn't be backing down without a fight.

"You're so cute when you try to be mean," Anakin chuckled, tenderly placing his curled index finger under my chin.

I had to bite my tongue to refrain from replying with a snarky comment.

His proximity caused my eyes to flicker to his lips, but the action didn't go unnoticed.

Anakin smirked, "You just can't resist me can you?" He asked arrogantly.

He then leaned in further, until our lips were brushing.

"Good, because I can't resist you either," he whispered before connecting his lips with mine.

At first I wanted to pull away as I was still upset with him, but then I realized that kissing him was the one thing I could do that would pretty much guarantee silence.

So I proceeded to wrap my arms around his neck, pulling lightly at the hair at the nape of his neck.

His hands remained on my waist, rubbing slow circles as he usually did.

He then proceeded to pull my hips towards his and lean over me slightly so he could gain better access.

I turned my head slightly, trying to work with him just as he began to nibble on my bottom lip.

The nibble quickly turned into a bite as he got impatient with me denying him the access he wanted.

But just as I finally gave in, he abruptly pulled away.

He looked me in the eyes, breathing hard as he removed his hands from my waist.

I furrowed my eyebrows, confused at his actions.

I gave him a quizzical look when he backed away slightly and kneeled before me.

He took my hand in his and looked up at me.

"Verena," he began softly, "we haven't been together for a long time, but you make me so incredibly happy and I never thought I would meet someone that I would break Jedi Code to be with."

He was beginning to scare me as the kneeling and love confession usually meant one thing.

"So will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" He finished, looking nervous.

My jaw went slack immediately as millions of thoughts ran through my mind.

"Anakin, I-"

He then smirked at me and stood up.

"You owe me 10 credits,"
