#6 in #DarthVader (6/20/24)
This story will not be a straight forward romance journey, as Vader is a dynamically difficult character. I intend to keep him as in-character as I possibly can, meaning this story will not be all butterflies and rainbow...

Chapter 26: Recovery
With Reina's body getting an adequate amount of sleep, her eyes slowly began to open. To her surprise, she found herself lying against Vader. He was laid on his back with her head on his chest, his left arm around her waist. His head rested against hers, his soft breathing traveling along throughout her hair.
With her right hand on his chest, she began to inch it upward toward his face, savoring the feel of his warm skin along the way. Unfortunately by the time her delicate fingers reached his neck, his left hand snatched an almost forceful grip on her wrist as though it had been out of instinct.
The surprise led Reina to jump up into a partial sitting position, his grip on her stopping her from getting too far. Sitting up high enough to look him in the eye, Vader's sapphire blue eyes were locked onto her while his grip loosened, ultimately letting go. Sitting up the rest of the way, the warm blanket followed her, cold air slipping beneath it to chill their exposing skin. As the blanket pulled back, his body revealing itself to her snatched her focus. Instantly she began recalling the events of the previous night, her memories on top of his body being on display to her reignited the fire within that burned so wildly for him.
Picking up on her thoughts and desires, Vader let out a deep hum, "...again?" His voice was so low and gravely that it sent delicious knots through her stomach. The way his messy hair was laid, and just how handsome he was while simply lying next to her began to heat her up.
"...Please..." Reina's fingers made contact with his abdomen, slowly inching their way down to send intensifying desires through his body.
With that, Vader pulled her on top of him, sitting her on his abdomen while the two of them prepared to strengthen their bond once more. After the act was finished, Vader's schedule tightened and he left her to remain within his quarters until his return.
Within minutes, his suit was on and he departed from their level, having matters to attend to near the first floor.

Attempting to stand was a chore, my legs trembling as a result of our activities, and my time within the bacta tank. Before Vader left to attend his meeting with a chunk of his military personnel from the Devastator, he sent Ciera to make her way onto our floor to help me with what he had no time to.
Fortunately with the help of the Force, I was able to get dressed before she arrived. "Good morning, Reina." Ciera greeted me
"Good morning, Ciera..." Feeling shameful as she brought me breakfast in bed, I took the tray from her hands, nearly dropping it due to not being used to missing a hand. Thankfully, Ciera predicted this and kept a tight grip on it.
"Easy...learning how to manage with a missing hand is going to be a challenge, luckily for you while you were in the bacta tank recovering, Vader had been working on putting together a prosthetic for you. It should be ready for you whenever you feel ready to try it." Ciera came closer to inspect my healed injuries while I worked on eating my food.
