Bound by the Force - Anakin x Fem!Reader

Chapter 5 • Devin

I'm drawn away by his outdated beliefs on what women should do in life, and his annoying bragging.

Ugh, if there was an award for biggest idiot, it would go to Devin. I didn't even speak to him for long before, let alone have a full private date with him.

I'm seriously debating running away.

But then his eyes land on me and he walks over.

Great.

"Hi, Devin." I say in a sweet voice, my disdain subtle yet not impossible to detect. However with his intelligence, he won't notice.

"Princess. Shall we?" He offers me his hand.

Even his hand looks weird... but of course I have to accept it.

We walked to the gardens without saying much, but as soon as we got outside he sat us on the fountain ledge and spoke.

"The gardens at the Manor are far more beautiful than here."

"Haha, really? That's... interesting."

"Though their beauty doesn't compare to yours."

"Oh thank y—"

He cuts me off, "Your hands are so delicate, they'd be perfect for cleaning."

"Oh well I'm not much of a—"

"Shh. Let me admire your beauty."

"I was—"

"What did I just say?" The tone in his voice hints at a slightly irritated tone, the grip on my hands tightening slightly.

I stay silent, but I turn away and side eye him.

"So, (Y/n), any hobbies?"

"I like reading, practicing combat, puzzles, baking, just stuff like that."

"Not cleaning?"

"Nope, not cleaning."

"Well at least you bake, I'm sure I could get you into cleaning."

"I thought you were rich, doesn't the Manor have workers?"

"No... But I shall get them. Hart Manor will have far more slaves than your Palace."

"They aren't slaves. They work. Something you wouldn't know anything about."

"Watch your words, young lady."

"Well, Devin, what hobbies do you have?"

Five hours pass, Devin just blabbing about his whole life story until he runs out of boring things to say, leaving us in silence.

He looks me up and down.

"You should go on a diet. I know just the one."

"Excuse me, Devin?" I snap.

"You're just looking a little... manly."
