I still have trouble believing he is mine. I am the luckiest man in the universe because Luke Skywalker loves *me*. Though if it hadn't been for Princess Leia, I don't know if we would be together.

I fell in lust with Luke the moment I set eyes on him. I mean who can blame me... the kid is gorgeous. As I got to know him though, the lust slowly changed to love, but I was in denial. I chased after Leia thinking that I loved her, but after one embarrassing evening, we both realised the truth. Apparently she had suspected it, and even though she cared for me, I was not the love of her life. We had spent a nice night together, but later when we were in bed together, I fantasised about Luke and called out his name. That killed off that relationship! I was apologising and trying to leave when she made me sit down and listen to her. She had sensed the sadness in Luke whenever he saw us together but she hadn't said anything. She had also sensed the love he had for me, but it wasn't until she knew it was mutual that she told me. She had noticed me watching him but wasn't sure as she reckons I am hard to read. Yelling out his name during sex with her was just the final proof she needed. Basically, she told me that he loved me and that if I didn't do something about it straight away, she would! I didn't believe her about him loving me, but I knew I had to speak to him before she did.

The next night I invited Luke to my quarters for dinner. I was watching him very carefully just in case Leia was right, and as the night went on, I grew more and more hopeful. If I hadn't been watching, I would never have noticed. Even so, when it came time to confront him, I was so nervous that I almost didn't say anything at all. I finally managed to tell him that Leia and I had broken up, and saw the relief briefly flash through his eyes. When he asked why, I told him that it was because I was in love with her brother. When he realised what I had implied, the most beautiful smile broke out on his face... I almost melted on the spot. His smile, when he is genuinely happy, could light up worlds and I live to see them.

Our first kiss was even better than I had imagined, and I fell in love all over again. When we made love for the first time, I felt our souls merge. It was the most incredible thing that has ever happened to me. I had never really believed when Luke went on about all that 'force' crap, but since we have been together, I have felt something. I can't do the things Luke does, but I am aware of some sort of power. Luke reckons we are bonded, and I'm not going to disagree. All I know is that I love him more than anything... even the Millennium Falcon!

We have been lovers for two years now, and every day just gets better. I am definitely not the same old Han Solo. I used to have different lovers in every port, and never stayed with anyone very long. Even if I was with someone, I was always looking at others... scoping out my next conquest! I haven't even *looked* in anyone else's direction in the last two years... I have no reason to. Luke is everything I could ever want. Whoever coined that myth that farm boys are naïve and innocent when it comes to sex never met Luke... and if I have anything to do with it, they never will! I thought I had pretty much done it all, but he has taught me a few things that I never knew!

For the first time in my life I am thinking about the future. I imagine myself growing old with Luke and then realise that I am becoming the sap that I always ridiculed when it was someone else. I can't help it though... I suppose that's what love does to you. I have taken Luke to meet my family, and they all loved him. Some of them a little too much, forcing me to stake my claim by kissing him until he forgot his name. The family clapped and cheered, and some ask for pictures and vids. I hope they were joking, but I get the impression that they weren't. Next time we go home, I am checking for bugs... no one except *me* gets to see Luke like that!

While we were on Corellia, my family kept asking me when I would make an honest man of Luke. The very fact that I didn't run away screaming at the thought of commitment shows just how devoted I am to him! The idea grew on me, and I asked him to marry me. Thankfully he said yes... in fact his yes was so enthusiastic that I had trouble walking the next day. Once we had decided to get married, neither of us could wait. Just one week later we were standing in front of family and friends, promising each other forever. I meant every single word too. But no matter what Luke might say, I wasn't crying... there was something in my eye! Our marriage is only legal on Corellia, and is recognised on some of the other planets, but not on others. On some of the backward planets, our relationship is illegal, but we don't care. We know that we belong to each other, and that is all that matters.

We have been married for six months now. In fact it is six months today. I plan to take Luke out for a romantic dinner, and then home for dessert... the all-night kind! I have become quite a sap since being with Luke. I can't help it. He is everything to me and I want to show him how much I love him. None of my past lovers would believe that I can be romantic, but Luke loves it so I am. Anything to keep Luke happy. These days I think I'm in danger of a sugar overdose from all these sappy thoughts, but I'll deal with it. Gotta go now as I can feel that Luke has arrived home. Time to start tonight's celebration of our love.
