Chapter 17

“ It seems that we need to require more people to build our secret project. So, I need for you to head out to the Outer Rim Territories. If anyone tries to stop you, get rid of them, if you know which ones I'm talking about.” Palpatine walked with Darth Vader, as they headed for the Emperor’s Senate Office.

“ As you wish, my Master. I will take care of those people first.” Darth Vader nodded, as he remembered having to take care of the members of the Trade Federation, just after the fall of the Jedi

“ Good . . . Then, you will leave after the Senate Session today.” Palpatine tried to catch his breath, as he was trying to walk further down the hallway.

“ Yes, my Master. How long will do you want me to be gone from here?” Darth Vader looked away from Palpatine, as movement caught his attention.

“ You will gone for two months. Ah, Senator Padme, it is so nice to see you this early in the morning. Your presence brighten ups this old heart.” Palpatine saw Padme walk into her office.

“ Your Grace, you flatter me. Lord Vader. I will have the proposal on your desk in an hour and half from now.” Padme bowed her head to Palpatine and Vader, before turning her attention back to Palpatine.

“ That sounds great. I wish there were more Senators like you, Milady. Well, we will let you get to work and see you in the Senate Session in a couple of hours.” Palpatine nodded and even gave Padme a smile.

“ Thank you, Your Grace. Yes, I will see you then.” Padme bowed her head again, and then turned away from the Sith Lord and his apprentice and going into her office.

Palpatine and Darth Vader then, continue down the hallway to the office that was located at the end of the hallway.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Padme was sitting in her office, when there was a tap on her door. Looking up she saw one person that she really did not want to see.

“ May I help you, Rustie?” Padme looked up from her data pad.

“ Hello, Padme. Well, I was hoping that you have lunch with me this afternoon.” the middle age man walked right into the office.

“ I see. Well, sorry to say this, but I will not be able to, because I will be in Session all day.” Padme put down her pad, so that way, she can give the man her attention.

“ I see, but I do know that they do take breaks for lunch and even dinner, when they run into the night.” the older man came further into her office and then sat down in one of the chairs that was in front of Padme’s desk.

“ I know that, but I also have lunch plans for the day. Now, if you will excuse me, I do have some things that need to be done, before I go into Session this morning.” Padme was giving him a hint to leave, so that way, she can finish her proposal for the Emperor.

“ Then, what about dinner? I do know that Senate Session ends at five this evening.” Rustie gave Padme a smile.

“ Sorry, Rustie. I would like to have a quiet night tonight. It is something I really like to do, after a long day in the Senate.” Padme thought she heard some movement in the outer office.

“ Then, I will come over and bring you dinner?” Rustie sat back into the chair.

“ No, I like to have a quiet night alone, thank you.” Padme gave him glare that was telling him to leave her alone.

“ I still insist that we have dinner together, Padme.” Rustie smile just got a little wider at the thought of having dinner and staying the night with her.

“ Rustie, I said no. I really would like for you to leave now, so that way, I can get this done.” Padme stood up and pointed to the door.

“ Fine, but this is not over Padme. You will have dinner with me, if you want to or not.” the older man stood up too, and slightly glared at the young Senator, before heading out of the office.

“ Great, I will have to make sure that everything is locked and alarmed, when I get home tonight.” Padme said to herself, as she sat back down and picked up her data pad and began working on the proposal.

Little did both Padme and Rustie know, that everything that was said in office was overheard by someone you do not want to mess with. Now, he will have to make sure that the young Senator has her quiet evening alone tonight, and make sure that the man will not make it to the Senator’s apartment.

Rustie was walking down the hallway, but got this feeling that he was being followed. He turned around to look behind him, but he did not see anyone. Darth Vader kept his distant from the older man, as he followed him down to the turbo lift. He watched the man get onto the lift, and then Vader took the stairs down to the visitor’s lobby. He got there before the lift did, and waited for the man to get off the lift, followed the man and noticed that the man lives in the building as Padme. Watching the man enter his apartment, Darth Vader then headed upwards to Padme’s apartment. He went into the guest room, laid down and waited for Padme to come home for lunch.

“ I take it you are at the apartment?” Padme answered her Com-link.

“ Yes, and I will make sure that man will not sneak in here, while you are out. I will see you at lunch.” Anakin turned on the oxygen tank.

“ Ok, thank you. I will let you go, so that way, you can have your oxygen.” Padme closed the data pad and began shutting things off, before getting up from her desk.

“ You are welcome.” Anakin began to gasp for some air.

“ Ok. Well, I better get going and head for the Senate Chamber. Bye for now.” Padme shut off her Com-link, before walking out of her office.

Padme walked out of her office, out of the waiting room and locking up the door, before heading down the hallway to the Senate Chamber.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Padme stepped off the air shuttle and walked into the living room of her apartment. As she walked in, she could smell a bacon.

“ Welcome home and dinner will be ready in about five minutes. Why don’t you go and get changed into something comfy, while I finish up here?” Anakin came out of the kitchen, wiping his hands on a dish towel.

“ Thank you and you did not have to fix me anything to eat, Ani.” Padme gave him a huge smile.

“ You are welcome and I did not mind. It will give me something to do. Oh, before I forget, I will be leaving here after dinner, because I have a mission that I need to go on. I will be gone for two months.” Anakin gave her a small smile, just as buzzard went off.

“ Oh, my. That sucks.I do wish you luck on your mission. I will get out of these clothes and get comfy, as you said.” Padme also picked up the glass of wine that was sitting on the counter for her.

Anakin went back into the kitchen, while Padme went into her bedroom and began getting undressed and putting on light day dress. Padme finished getting comfy and went back into the living room. She saw her food waiting for her, on the small table that was in front of the couch.

“ Oh man, Anakin, this is so great.” Padme looked up and saw that he was dressed as Darth Vader and was standing by the door that leads out to the landing platform.

“ Thank you and I hope that you enjoy it. My mom used to make it for me, when I was younger.” Anakin nodded, as he opened the door with the Force and was about to step outside, when the doorbell chimed.

Padme got up from the couch, just as Anakin stepped outside onto the landing platform and closing the door behind him. Padme went to the door, opened it up and saw the one person she did not want to see standing at the door.

“ Rustie, I thought I told you that I did not want to see you tonight. All I wanted was a very quiet night by myself.” Padme cracked opened the front door.

“ And I told you that I would stop by anyway. Mmm, something smells good.” Rustie slightly pushed Padme out of the way, so he could just walk right on in without being asked to come in.

“ Um . . . excuse you, but I did not invite you to come inside. I want you to leave now and if you do not, I will call security and have you removed.” Padme walked quickly to get in front of the older man and try to stop him.

“ You did invite me,when you gave me a smile the other day. I will not leave, until we have dinner.” Rustie grabbed Padme by the arm and pulled her towards the couch.

“ I did no such thing and yes, you will leave now. Oww, you are hurting me . . . Let go of me . . . If you do not leave, you are going to be very sorry.” Padme tried to pull away from the older man, but he just tightened his grip on her arm.

“ You think I'm hurting now, just wait to see what I have planned for us after dinner. Oh, no, Senator, it is you who will be very sorry, if you do not be quiet and do as I say.” the older man pushed Padme down on the couch.

Once Padme was down on the couch, Rustie pulled the skirt of Padme’s dress up and then pushed her legs further apart, before getting between them, grabbing her panties and began pulling them down.

“ No . . . No . . . No! Please stop! Get Away from me!” Padme began to scream, as she felt his hand began to rub her.

“ Now, be a sweet girl and let daddy have his fun.” Rustie slightly laid down on top of Padme and put his hands between them, so he could undo his pants.

Padme tried to hit him and kick, but the man was to powerful. She felt the head of his penis, just at the entrance of her vagina. Before Rustie could thrust inside of Padme, he felt and unknown force start tightening around his throat.

“ You were told to leave and now, you are going to be very sorry that you did not listen to the Senator.” Darth Vader walked into the room and pulled the older man off of Padme and just held him in mid-air by the throat.

“ You . . . how . . . did . . . NO!” the older man began kicking at Darth Vader.

“ That is none of your business. Do you want me to punish him my way, Milady?” Darth Vader held out his free hand and helped Padme sit up.

“ Yes, he is yours to do whatever you want to do with. Thank you, Lord Vader.” Padme smiled up at the dark Sith Lord.

“ As you wish, Milady. I bid you good night.” Darth Vader bowed his head, before taking the older man out of the apartment and headed for his ship.

Padme stood up pulled up her underpants and pulled down her skirt of her dress. Bending over, she picked up the plate and headed for her bedroom. Once there, she climbed into her bed and began eating the dinner that Anakin had made for her. The rest of the night was very quiet, and while watching the Holo-net, Padme fell asleep without dream, just slight peaceful sleep.
