Sitting on her desk filled with a small, moon goddess statue in front of her computer, Riyo Chuchi was typing her report to the Chancellor, letting out a sigh.
It's been days since she saw the Chancellor around the Senate building. With the refugee crisis on Onderon happening right now, it is crucial for the leader of the Republic to discuss this matter and solve it as soon as possible. Most of her colleagues are growing restless right now, including Padmé, Bail, and Mon Mothma.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpKj0fhaNX
Why can't I just meet up with the Chancellor right now? Onderon is burning right now and the people need a place to stay from the chaos that the rebels have created by rising up against the Separatists.
Her fingertips pressed against the keyboard as she gazed at her screen, her eyes feeling a little dry. She adjusted her back every few seconds as she stretched her neck and cracked her knuckles, pushing herself to finish the report. I really hope the Chancellor sees this.
Then, she heard a knock outside her door. Must be Padmé. "Come in," she spoke, her eyes still glued towards her screen. Her office door slid by itself, revealing a clone trooper whose armour was painted in red, accompanied by a kama and a visor on his helmet.
"Senator," Fox gave a nod, as the door closed behind him.
The Pantoran senator's face brightened up as she got up and took a few steps towards him, placing her hands on the side of the helmet. "Fox, it's so nice to see you again," she smiled, slowly removing his helmet, revealing a tan-skinned man with black, curly hair and a large scar lined up at the side of his cheeks.
"It's nice to see you too, Senator," he chuckled nervously, sliding his hand on her waist.
Riyo laughed when she heard her lover call her by her rank instead of her real name. "You do know that we're both alone, right?"
"I know, Senator," he teased, making Riyo chuckled softly.
She stroked his cheeks gently with her soft fingers as she leaned closer, brushing her lips onto his. Fox's lips curved upwards as he closed his eyes, dipping his tongue into her mouth. She savoured every taste of his lips as he pushed her slightly on her desk, holding one of her thighs.
Her heart skipped a beat as she buckled her left knee on his lips, wrapping her arms around his shoulder. Shouldn't you be focused on your work right now?
Riyo pulled her lips away from Fox as she glanced at his dark, hazelnut eyes. "Is there something wrong, Senator?" Fox asked, his hands still on her waist.
She shook her head. "I'm alright, Fox. There's just too much work."
"I see," he frowned. "Sorry if I disturbed you, Senator."
She giggled as she lifted her toes and reached for his cheeks, giving a kiss. "You don't have to apologize, Fox. It's nice to take a break once in a while."
"Yeah," he whispered in her ears as he brushed his lips on her neck. Riyo laughed as she playfully pushed him away. "Oh, Fox, stop it," she begged, trying to suppress her laughter. "You're turning me on right now."
"That's the whole point, Senator," he gave a wink, before kissing on her neck again, hoping to get a reaction from his secret lover. I should be protecting her right now, not making out with her. Still, it's not like the Chancellor's here to stop me right now.
It's been four days since the Chancellor was found dead in his penthouse. The Coruscant Guard, including Fox, was in charge of the investigation along with the Jedi Council. He ordered extra security around his office and his residence, hoping to prevent anyone else from finding out the truth.
If the news broke out, the Republic would be gone. Riyo doesn't need to know about this. I have to keep her in the dark, along with the other senators.
"Is everything all right, Fox?" she wondered, noticing her lover's eyes staring outside her wide window, overlooking the humongous skyscrapers and the hovercars and ships flying in their lanes, ensuring smooth traffic. Fox blinked his eyes twice and pulled her closer into his arms, giving her a passionate kiss.
She welcomed his kiss as she brushed her fingers on the side of his hair, which was slowly graying. He slowly slid his arms down towards her hips, lifting her up, her knees curled around his. She let out a soft gasp as she pushed him on the floor, laying on top of him.
"Woah, Senator," he exclaimed, massaging her scalp. "I don't think this is the right place to be doing it right now."
"Who says that I want to do it with you right now, Fox?" she grinned, before resting her head on his chest. His cheeks turned red as he sat up, pulling her onto his lap.
"This is only the beginning," he teased, as he rubbed her back and nuzzled on her shoulder, which was covered with her burgundy robe.
She chuckled as she got up, dusting the middle of her robe. "Hey, Fox," she spoke, resting on her seat. "I have something to ask."
"What is it, Senator?" he asked, standing behind her, placing both hands on her shoulders, massaging it.
"Do you know where the Chancellor is?"
His face changed, his brows furrowed and his lips tightened. Fuck, she's asking me where he is. What do I tell her?
"It's been four days since I last saw him. There's a lot of bills that need to be passed, and we need him in the Senate right now to speed up the process."
Should I tell her the truth, or should I lie to her?
"I had a lot of paperwork which is overdue with the Chancellor. If I don't send this, he'll give me a long lecture in his office."
If I tell her, I'll give her a huge fright but if I lie, she'll hate me forever. Think, Fox, think. What do I tell her about the Chancellor?
"Fox," she called out, waving her hand in front of his face. "Are you there?"
"I'm here, Riyo," he snapped himself back to reality, clearing his throat.
"Oh, good. Were you listening to me about Chancellor Palpatine? "
He nodded. "Yes, Senator. I was listening to you."
"Do you know his whereabouts? It's been days now and it's urgent that I need to see him."
"To be honest, Senator, I have no idea where he is."
Lies.
"Really? Isn't protecting the Chancellor part of your job description as a Coruscant Guard? "
You should answer her, Fox. Can't keep a lady waiting.
"It is, Senator, but I only protect him when he's in this building or when he's on a diplomatic mission outside Coruscant. Anywhere else, he has his personal guards around him."
It's true. I didn't protect him in his penthouse and because of that, he was killed. I'll find whoever did that and bring him or her to justice.
Riyo could only let out a sigh when she heard Fox's statement. Looks like I'll have to wait a little longer for the Chancellor to show up and read my reports. Well, on the bright side, at least I have a legitimate excuse for him. "I understand, Fox," she gave a slight smile, squeezing both his hands.
"I should go now," Fox leaned in and pressed his lips on her blue forehead. "Can't keep my men waiting."
"I'll see you tonight?" she walked him to the door. He put on his helmet and gave a nod as the door opened in front of him.
"Yup, I'll see you tonight, love."
