Hey, could I send a request? Me and Arthur were told to go to Saint Denis by Dutch but my high bounty makes it hard to go through the streets. When a lawman starts walking down the alley we are in, Arthur's first idea was to make it look like there was 2 people making out so he didnt know who we were. Also could you maybe add some smut? Like we start just doing it in the alleyway. Thank you!!
Here you go, Anon! This one was kind of expiremental, but that’s what writing is for.
(I love his smile in this pic! Why is he so cute?)
Warnings: mentions of rape, smut
You’re nervous. How could you not be? Any moment, you could be arrested or shot. It helps to have the toughest gunslinger you know striding by your side, but still. He’s one man against an entire force of cops. You’re not worth him dying.
Dutch had demanded you and Arthur come to Saint Denis to stake out a job about a river boat with a high stakes poker game. Normally he would have sent Trelawney out to find out about it, but God knows where that man is. Since Arthur will be the lead in the job, Dutch sent him to go find out about the boat. You just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time when Dutch said Arthur might need someone to help. He looked over, saw you and volunteered your aid.
You haven’t been in Saint Denis in years. Not after that incident. It’s not just because your face is probably still plastered on every main street in the city. It’s all the bad memories. How you were marked as the criminal when it was you who was wronged.
Arthur must feel how tense you are as you walk beside him. He pats your shoulder. “You a’right? You seem nervous.”
“I am,” you say, your eyes darting all over the road. You asked him not to come down the main street of the city, but he said it was the quickest way to get to the rich end where information was likely to be for this job.
Down the road, you spot a cop standing by the hotel, his arms crossed. You stop in your tracks and Arthur walks a few feet ahead before he notices you’re not beside him anymore.
“What is it?” he asks.
“I can’t be seen by the cops, Arthur, I told you. I… I did something years ago and it was bad enough that I know they’ll all be gunning for me if they find out I’m here.”
“Damn it.” Arthur looks around, his mental gears turning. “A’right, come with me. We’ll take the alleys.”
He leads you down the nearest one. Luckily no one is there. There’s plenty of trash lining the walls, crates and barrels lining the backs of shops. A bony cat shoots out from behind one of them as you pass by.
“What did you do?” Arthur asks as you both walk.
You sigh. No one knows your story, not because you’re ashamed but because you hate reliving the memories. But this is Arthur. He’s your best friend (and crush). You’ve been able to tell him anything without fear of judgment.
“I used to live down here for a while, years ago,” you begin. “Just working jobs on my own. Anyways, I was coming down one of the alleyways following a lead and a cop followed me. I thought maybe he was onto me and I was gonna get busted, but I tried to play innocent. He caught me, but instead of arresting me, he… he assaulted me. I don’t think he even knew I was trying to rob some bastard.”
“Assaulted you?” Arthur says. “How… oh. Y/N, I’m sorry.” He stops and looks at you. You stop too and look up at him, feeling like you might cry.
“Me too. He didn’t get too far. I managed to pull out my gun and I shot him. Not well enough, he got up and ran away. He started screaming for the other officers, claiming he’d been trying to arrest me and I shot him. Of course, they all believed he was innocent and just doing his job, so they started trying to kill me. I fled, and I haven’t been back here since. I just know though that he told them all that I attacked him, that he did nothing wrong and now I’m labeled as a criminal who almost killed a cop. A criminal, yes, but I never killed anyone before then.”
“Oh Y/N, I’m sorry,” Arthur says, his eyes soft. He puts a hand on your arm and before you can stop it, you’re hugging him. He wraps his arms around you and rests his cheek on your head.
Arthur is the only person you hug. What you’re doing now isn’t entirely unusual. You’ve spent so much time alone with him, you know you can trust him. It took a long time to get here, mostly because of what that cop did. Arthur proved he was honorable in that he’d never even think about doing something like that to you. It didn’t take long for you to get a crush on him either, and you’re pretty sure he has one on you too. You’ve been meaning to test it out, but just haven’t found the right opportunity.
Reluctantly, you pull yourself from his warm grasp. “Come on, we need to keep going,” you say, sniffing a bit. “The sooner we can get out of here, the better.”
His scent lingers in your nose as you continue on down the alleyway, the flavor of leather, pine and tobacco. He walks a step ahead of you so he can make sure the way is clear for you. You’re tempted to grab his hand, but you resist.
You approach an opening leading to the main street. Arthur looks down the way and suddenly grabs you, pushing you against the wall.
“What? Arthur, stop push-”
“Cop’s coming,” he hisses in your ear.
Your stomach plummets. “Arthur, if they find me, I’m-”
“I know. He’s too close, we can’t run, he’ll hear us. Let me think.”
He pauses for a moment and then looks at you. “Kiss me. I know a lot of couples come down here to smooch. He won’t think any different of us.”
Before you can point out you’re not a couple, he bends down and crashes his lips to yours. He’s hesitant at first, but when you wind your arms around his shoulders, brushing your fingers through his hair, he sighs and relaxes. He pushes you back against the wall, his hands still on the wall, trapping you.
You can hear the officer walking past and you angle your face so that Arthur’s head blocks you from his view. Arthur continues to kiss you. He’s really playing it up, his tongue traces your lips and his hands go to your hips, pressing your body to his. God, you wish he was doing this for real. If he’s this good when he’s pretending, he must be incredible when it’s on purpose. You hear, over the sounds of your breathing and smooching, the officer tut to himself.
“Hey you can’t be here,” he says, and you hear him take a step closer. You ramp up your kissing, making it even more fervent and loud. Arthur responds, hissing a bit when you bite his lower lip. The officer stops. “Eh, nevermind. Damn lovers, hotel ain’t too far.” He’s still muttering about the annoyances of the public indecencies of couples in love as he walks away.
When his footsteps fade, you stop kissing Arthur and pull away, but you swear he leans his head in closer as if he wants to continue.
“That was great acting on your part,” you say, a bit disappointed. His hands are still on your hips and he looks about as disappointed as you feel. Your bodies are still pressed together and you become suddenly aware of something hard pressing into your right hip. It’s coming from his pants. His eyes widen as he realizes what’s going on and you blush.
“Shit,” he says, taking a step back and turning away, his hands going to his pants and his brow furrowing. You bite your lip.
“Arthur, you weren’t pretending, were you?” you say.
He looks over at you, his cheeks pink. His face tells you that he wasn’t faking his pleasure. “Sorry, Y/N. Please don’t think I’m a predator or somethin’, or that I planned this.”
He looks back down, clearly thinking himself disgusting. You take a step closer to him.
“No, Arthur, I don’t find you creepy or predatory. If I’m being honest, I… I actually find it kind of thrilling.”
He looks at you in confusion. You smile, biting your lip and take another step towards him. “Can… can I see it?” you ask.
He straightens up a bit, raising his brow. Did you cross a line? Perhaps he really doesn’t feel for you that way. Just as you’re beginning to overthink things and try to come up with a way to apologize without sounding like a complete idiot, he turns his body to you and takes a step closer to you. He gently pushes you against the wall, one hand pinned next to your head.
“You sure?” he asks softly. You nod, your breath picking up. You lean up and kiss him in response. He smiles against your lips. “Okay then. I ain’t never done this in public before.”
“Me neither,” you admit. It’s kind of exciting though, except for the impending likelihood of another cop coming this way.
Before you can change your mind, Arthur’s free hand goes down to his pants and unbuttons them. He slips his hard length out and you stare at it unashamedly. He’s wide and longer than some men you’ve seen, but not long enough to be intimidating. A large single vein runs down his shaft, ending at his swollen head, dark pink in color with a bit of purple.
“Can I?” you ask, raising your hand to show you want to touch him. He smiles and leans in a bit closer.
“Only if I can return the favor,” he growls in your ear.
You shiver at the response but then grab him suddenly. He jumps a bit, but you’re gentle. You study his cock with your hand and then reach up to the top of his shirt with your other hand. You start unbuttoning it, wanting to see his chest. You’ve seen him shirtless once or twice when he was bathing during hunting trips, but you looked away quickly then, wanting to grant him privacy. Now you know he’ll let you see him.
You push away the fabric of his shirt, your other hand still on his cock and massaging him. He’s panting and you run your fingernails down his chest, stomach and wrap it around his length, both hands now working on him. As one hand pumps, the other gently traces the head, running over the slit.
“Oh God,” he groans, tilting his head back. His cock twitches in your hand, the slit glistening. His hands raise up and go to your hips and he starts kissing your neck. It’s your turn to groan as your hands continue to massage him. He’s close, you can feel it in the firmness of his length and by the twitching of his hips. You run the tip of your nose from his jaw down his neck and then give him a lick. You’ve always wanted to lick his neck. One hand leaves his cock and runs over his chest, gliding through his hair. You can feel his heart pounding.
He grunts suddenly and his cock jerks hard, his seed exploding from the tip. He makes sure to aim it at the ground. He gasps as the last of his stream leaves his length, the end dripping a bit.
“Damn, sweetheart,” he pants. You smile and kiss his collarbone. He wraps his arms around you, pressing you close to his body. His lips crash to yours; he’s holding you so tight he’s almost crushing you. Not that you mind. “Let me return that, darlin’.”
You nod, biting his lip again. Now your heart is pounding. He unbuttons your pants and slides a hand in. He groans again when he feels how soaked you are, but he’s gentle as he presses his fingers to you. You wrap a leg around his hips, giving him more room to work. He starts to rub your clit, sending jolts of electricity throughout your entire body.
“Ah, Arthur,” you moan. His hand on your back presses you closer, his lips meeting yours again. His hand moves from your clit to your entrance, a finger sliding in and then another. You hiss a bit as he begins to pump his fingers. You suddenly want his cock in you instead, you imagine he can stretch your walls exactly the way you need.
“Arthur,” you whine, your fingernails digging into his shoulder blades. “I want… I need…” As you pant against the movement of his hand, he chuckles. He slides his hand out of your slit, making you wince. Just as he’s about to reach for his semi-hard cock, hopefully to work its way into you, you hear footsteps coming your way too late.
“Hey!” a voice shouts. You open your eyes and stare right into the eyes of an officer. “You!” he shouts.
Arthur stuffs himself back into his pants, grabs your hand and starts running down the alley, away from the officer. As you flee, you close your jeans and then mount your horse, ignoring the officer screaming at you to stop. You kick your horse into a gallop, ignoring the way your body screams that while the movement is right, there’s no penetration and no friction in the right places.
Arthur runs behind you, his gun pointed up, but it’s clear he doesn’t want to use it. You leave the hollering officer behind you and you leave the city behind.
When you’re in the clear, your horses breathing hard as they stand on the trail outside an old shack. Arthur looks at you and grins.
“Sorry to cut that short, darlin’,” he grins.
“Ah, ain’t your fault,” you say, adjusting yourself in the saddle. He must be able to tell you’re frustrated.
“How about you and I head in that shack and finish things up?”
You smile and dismount. “I’d be mad if you didn’t suggest that.”
He takes your hand and leads you into the shack. You only feel slightly guilty that anyone passing the shack as the sun sets gets their ears assaulted as Arthur pleasures you late into the night.

At Last (Aubrey x MC) NSFW
A/N: This is my first NSFW fic. I’m actually embarrassed and scared. If this is trash I apologize in advance because I have no history with writing smut, but I felt like trying for once. This was inspired by this latest chapter, when it gets to the part where MC is talking with June that it introduces that MC can not only read thoughts but get the images a person thinks. Now I imagine/assume MC gets like clips or shots of images as if she can see it through her eyes or she was thinking off these things vividly herself. Which lead me to write this bad boy. I just wanted some action between these two so here’s my attempt at writing it lol.
Summary: Feeling down, Viola goes to Aubrey’s place to watch a movie where things heat up and their intimate relationship is taken to the next level.
Rating: NSFW 18+ Very smutty, if not into smut avoid this fic.
Note: Apparently Ellen can be either fired or suspended depending on the choice you choose with Alec. In my game she is suspended. Once again, this is my first time writing smut and posting it. I’m sorry if its trash, go easy on me lol.
*Thoughts of Viola are italicized and those of Aubrey’s are bold and italicized with parenthesis.
PB owns the rights to these characters, I’m just borrowing them.
Tagging : @cora-nova @rain18rain @lady-dianelewis @hellomynameisdevi
In the pitch-black dark bedroom except for the glowing red numbers on the alarm clock laid Viola wide awake in bed. Despite her pep talk with Jaime and cuddle session with her sassy kitten Fauna and precious puppy Underoos, she couldn’t help but still feel awful about what happened to Ellen. Apart of herself doesn’t feel remorse over Alec’s decision because that choice was partially sealed by Ellen’s unprofessional behavior earlier that day, but the other side of herself didn’t want her rise to lead anchor to be the result of Ellen’s suspension.
In addition, no matter how hard she tries to brush them aside, Ellen’s ominous parting words echoes in the back of her mind. She sighs to herself as she rubs her hand over her face through her curly blonde tresses in frustration. She turns her head to look at her alarm clock.
“Man it’s 11:00 pm but I cannot go to sleep. Ugh!” she says.
She fumbles through her sheets as she sits up and turns on her bed lamp and the room is flooded with light as she pulls the covers off her chest. After sifting through the sheets and grabbing her cell phone Viola unlocks it and begins to scroll. As she does she notices a missed text from Aubrey. She smiles immediately seeing his name pop up on her screen. Without even hesitating she dials and the line begins to ring. She presses the speaker and awaits for an answer. It rings and rings and begins to worry.
“This is a bad idea. He’s probably asleep already.”
Right as she moves her finger to end the call, a persistent beep cuts through and as she presses to answer the facetime icon. Soon she’s on her phone she’s met with the image of Aubrey standing few feet away from the phone screen with a small towel wrapped around his waist. With her view of him angled up she sees his built figure, her eyes fixated on his smooth lean chest and four pack abs. His skin is slightly damp besides the droplets that slide from his thighs down to his calves. She watches as he moves out of the frame for a moment and calls out.
“Just one second!”
She feels her pulse quicken as she sees his towel once on his hips thrown back in view landing on his bed. Her cheeks tinge red realizing this man she’s crazy about is standing nude as day a few steps away from her prying eyes. As he walks back into frame again with pajama pants on to reach for his towel, she notices his hair clearly wet pressed against his forehead. His hand runs through it to push back his rogue curl before throwing the towel around his neck and picking up the phone so his torso and up shows.
“Hello? Viola?” he says softly, his voice breathless.
His voice seemed distant as her eyes were glued to his figure, her eyes followed each waterdrop that trailed his body.
“Sorry Viola. You caught me as I got out the shower. Viola...you okay?
She subconsciously bites her thick lips as these words fell out her mouth involuntarily.
“You’re so fine….I mean I am! I’m fine! I am fine.
She shakes her head and coughs lightly, her eyes avoid his due to her embarrassment. She glances up and notices Aubrey neck flush red as his hand scratches the back of his head.
“Hehe. Thank you by the way. You’re not so bad either. By the way eherm... you do noticed that you’re umm…” he speaks nervously.
Viola with a confused expression watches as his eyes leave her face and trail down her body.
“That I’m what…” Viola voice trails off as she looks down and realize her cleavage heavily showing as she sits in her lacy powder blue bra. She forgot she was too tired earlier to remove it.
“Oh shit! I didn’t but--”
“No! It’s my fault I didn’t mean to stare--” both Aubrey and Viola speak at the same time. There words trampling on the other’s.
Then Viola raises her hand to stop him and speaks .
“It’s fine. I mean I guess it’s payback for me earlier ogling you.”
“Well no complaints from me.
“Is that so?” Viola smiles.
“Scouts honor. Aubrey smiles softly. The two let a comfortable silence fall between them as they shoot each other shy glances. Aubrey coughs lightly.
“Ahem. Anyway not that this isn’t a lovely surprise but what brings you to call me at this time at night?’
Viola toys with a part of her comforter, her eyes stray away from the phone as she speaks.
”I was unable to sleep and I noticed your text from earlier...I’m sorry. I know it’s late and--”
“Hey don’t apologize. I love talking to you. I wouldn’t mind even if it was 3:ooam. Your voice is something that I’ll never tire of.”
Viola feels her cheeks flush.
“You’re too sweet. How is it whenever I’m feeling down you make me smile?”
“I’d love to say but I can’t give all my secrets away.”
“I suppose you’re right.” she says between giggles.
“I have an idea. Since you’re up why don’t you swing by my place and we’ll watch a movie. Your choice.”
“I don’t want to impose. I’m already making enough trouble by keeping you awake.”
“It’s not a problem at all. I was already up. And Viola, you’re worth the trouble.”
“Aubrey…” she whispers softly. She watches as he smiles back shyly.
“Did I mention I have kettle corn?”
“ You had me hello...but I’ll even drive faster because you have kettle corn.”
“A woman after my heart, but don’t ever say I promoted reckless driving.”
“Promise. I’ll see you in 15 minutes.”
“I’ll be waiting.”
It isn’t long before Viola finds herself standing outside Aubrey’s door. She didn’t bother with her appearance since it was so late and a simple cozy night in so; she tossed on her ratted gray shorts and white over-sized sweater that hangs off her shoulders with her hair tied up in a messy bun. She pushes a few curled strands away from her eyes. She quickly types on the phone her arrival and a few seconds later Aubrey opens the door beckoning her to come.
As she enters and he closes the door behind her she notices he had a t-shirt on and his hair askew from a quick dry from a towel. She sits down on the couch and tucks her feet under her legs as he sits down beside her.
“I see you put a shirt on.” she says with a smirk on her face.
Aubrey smiles shyly as he reaches for the remote and turns on the popular streaming services, CinemaNet.
“So did you.”
“Only because I didn’t want to be arrested for public indecency and I really wanted kettle corn.”
His arms moves to wrap around her body and she leans into his touch, sitting closer.
“Is that the only reason you’re here? Just using me for my special popcorn” he teases.
Laying her head on his chest while her finger moves in a small circular patterns as she teases back.
“Of course not. How can I miss out on a movie of my choice....and also hanging with a very caring and handsome guy.”
“Good answer. So what do you want to watch?”
“Is Pretty Woman okay? It’s my favorite.”
Aubrey hits the remote and begins to play the movie pulling her even tighter in his arms. Viola feels all her anxious energy evaporate as she feels Aubrey’s taut muscles squeeze her in a comforting way.
“Pretty Woman for a pretty woman…” He says as he grins down at her before continuing.
“...Well now that I have you where I want you, want to tell me what’s bothering you?”
With her eyes still closed, basking in his warmth she slowly speaks.
“I don’t know if you heard but right now in your arms, you’re holding Northbridge’s newest leading anchor.”
Aubrey sits up at an angling which moves Viola as well.
“Oh my gosh! Viola that’s amazing! Isn’t this what you always wanted?”
“It was--is...it’s complicated.”
Viola removes herself from Aubrey’s arms and sits up. He follows suit and places his hand on her back and rubs soothingly.
“After Ellen and I’s fiasco on the air, she was suspended and I got promoted. I’m ecstatic but it still feels undeserving to elevate because her downfall. I mean just being junior reporter has been a dream come true. I expected in a few years time I’d be a leading anchor, but I didn’t expect it so soon nor this way.”
Aubrey leans forward so that his hand reaches under her chin to move her face to look at him.
“Viola listen, you are the most kindest, funniest, wittiest, most intelligent woman, and beautiful woman I’ve ever known. Everything you’ve accomplished is because you worked so hard and so long for. It’s unfortunate what happened with Ellen, but her attitude was eventually going to circle back to bite her. That’s something Ellen will have to realize and be better about and nothing to do with you.
His hand drops from her chin and runs adoringly along her cheek.
“You deserve this. And just know I’m always on your side.”
Viola with her hand grabs Aubrey’s that’s resting on her cheek and leans forward to kiss him on the lips. Soon the kiss grows from soft to insistent before she breaks away.
“Thank you. I feel much better now.”
“Good. Now should we join Vivian & Edward?”
“We shall.”
Settling in their previous cuddle position and snacking on popcorn, they watch the film. Most of the movie passes before Viola props herself in Aubrey’s arms when her favorite scene begins.
“This my absolute favorite part of the movie.”
“Really? A sex scene? ” He questions.
Viola rolls her eyes and faces him.
“It’s more than just any sex scene. It’s the moment they made love for the first time. Ohhh, the passion and chemistry is just undeniable! You can feel the nervousness Vivian had as she dared to press her lips to Edwards, to silently and secretly admit that she’s fallen in love. And for him we can feel his desire and longingness of wanting her fully. Not just her body, but having her complete trust intimately. Plus in this scene they’re finally able give their hearts and souls to each other, at least for a moment let one another have this love instead of reason why it wouldn’t work for both of them.The simplicity of their love was something I always admired.” She finishes saying as she stared back at the on-screen couple.
“I didn’t know you were such a romantic.”
“I’ve always dreamed of finding a love that was surreal, like it was magic.”
They haven’t taken their relationship to the next level yet, it’s been make-out sessions and some heavy petting here and there but never sex. Not that Viola didn’t want to and thanks to her abilities, she’s aware Aubrey feels the same. It just never seemed to be the right time, but she hopes sooner or later that would change.
Viola snuggles deeper into his chest and couldn’t help but feel slightly aroused as the love scene came to a close especially being pressed up against Aubrey. Just being surrounded by his sandalwood scent, the way his breath ghosted over her skin, and enjoying how his fingertips glided over her hands was enough to drive her wild. Most of the night she didn’t receive any of his thoughts until this moment when a soft spoken voice almost inaudible is heard.
(“God I forgot how erotic that scene is, maybe it wasn’t a good idea to watch this. All I can think of is…”)
Before she could even prepare she was hit with what seem like a barrel of images. The first one was of him delicately biting on her neck as his hands massaged her breasts, his fingers pinching softly at her nipples. She was mesmerized by the images that seemed to play like a movie in her head as she watched his mouth trail slowly over her dark skin, her head was thrown back and her face was etched with ecstasy. Then it quickly shifted to their figures only illuminated by the moonlight that flooded through his window rolling on top of the other, grinding slowly with their hands gnawing at the other’s skin in desperation, and the final one was her only wearing her bra from earlier.
Viola could vividly see herself seductively kissing down his chest reaching his nether region, leaving him a stuttering mess with his hips bucking upward to where the imaginary Viola disappeared. Viola raises her hand to her chest to calm her heartbeat that seemed to thump erratically. As she does Aubrey voice rings clear in her mind.
(“Oh jeez I need to calm down...I need to think unsexy thoughts before Viola notices my urm my latest project. Okay think umm...Alec making out with an Emu! Okay, I don’t know why that immediately came to mind but it’s working.”)
Viola feels him maneuver around so that she’s no longer directly in between his legs but rest beside his thighs. Suddenly feeling daring, with her eyes trained on the screen Viola let’s her hand rub up and down Aubrey’s thigh. Everytime she reaches close to his lap she squeezes briefly before continuing the pattern.
She can hear his breathing slow down and his breaths come out heavier. She smirks to herself knowing she has the affect on him. Next she lets her hand wander up under his shirt caressing his abs. Almost like a bullet his thoughts come at her.
(“Holy shit! This feels so...is she doing this on purpose? She is! I saw that smirk! If she continues at this rate I don’t know if I can hold back. I really should say something.”)
Viola tears her eyes from the screen and throws a sultry look at Aubrey and asks him with feign innocence as she hears a small groan escape his lips.
“Is everything okay Aubrey?”
She notices his blue eyes darken with desire and the way he licks his lips as he stops her hand, trapping it between the crossroad of his abs and his bottom half.
“I think you already know the answer to that Viola.”
She grins deviously at him and positions herself so her body is pressed against his, her lips reaching to whisper in his ears as she slips her hand out his grasp to sink lower beneath his pants to slowly palm his growing erection, stroking it painstakingly slow.
“So you don’t mind if we stop watching the movie? I found something much more interesting for us to do, that is if you want to.”
She pulls away to the side of him and bites down on her lips suggestively as sits on her knees and continues to stroke him through his pants, her eyes focused at her task at hand. She stops stroking briefly and pulls his dick out of his pants. Viola lets her fingers trail alongside the thick base of his cock to the tip before lubing her hand with spit. She then delicately squeezes his pulsing shaft. Her hand goes up and down smoothly before letting it slide further to fondle his balls gently. Aubrey stares at her and nods weakly, unable to answer at the moment because of the pleasure and throws his head back into the couch. The only sounds that leave his mouth were muttered expletives and moans. More of this thoughts coming at her lightning fast.
(Holy fuck...I can’t believe she’s--That we’re about to--Fuck, this feels amazing! It’s better than I imagined...I feel so dizzy. Viola is just stunning...so incredibly sexy.)
Viola suddenly stops and pulls her hand away. Aubrey’s eyes open wide and he whips his head forward.
“That’s not answer, Mr. Watson. I need a verbal answer…” She stands up from the couch to peel off her shorts then removes her sweater, leaving herself in her matching lacy powder blue lingerie set. She climbs onto his lap and drapes her arms around his neck.
“Do. you. want. More?”
Before she can register what happens next, Viola feels his arms instinctively wrap around her waist, his hands gripping her hips. He widens his legs so that she lands directly on his growing erection. His hands roam from her hips down to squeezing her ass, smacking each cheek lightly. He begins grinding his cock against Viola’s moist panties. He gruffly whispers as his deep blue eyes bore into Viola’s hazel-green ones, clouded with lust.
“Does this answer your question, Ms. Porchia?”
He reaches with one hand to move her panties to side so that the tip of his cock brushes against her increasing arousal, causing her to moan loudly.
“Seems like the tables have turned Viola. Do you like how I feel against you? Tell me how much you love it, or I will stop.”
Viola tries to gain more friction by moving her hips but Aubrey firmly holds her hips in place. In retaliation of her not answering he slips a single finger inside her, slowly moving it in and out. She tries to bite her tongue but a moan slips out.
“Ohhhhh...mhmmm...Aubrey please…”
She barely can concentrate on the thoughts that flew at her from his ministrations.
( Fuck...the way she moans my name almost sent me over the edge.)
“You’re on the right track, but I need to tell me how it feels. Do you want more? He throws her words spoke earlier back in her face, He inserts another finger inside her, both working even slower, trailing her sensitive nub.
“Mhmmm, Aubrey. God, yes it feels so good! You felt so good, baby. I need more!”
Without anymore prompting, Aubrey picks Viola easily from her thighs and carries her towards his bedroom. He places her on his bed and steps out his pants leaving him fully exposed. He kneels in front of Viola.
“Let’s get these pesky panties out the way…” he kisses from her inner thighs all the way down her tone legs as he removes her undergarments.
As he travels lower his hands go the opposite direction up Viola’s body to her breasts and fondles them over her bra. Viola feels as if her body is on fire. She never imagined feeling this way with anyone before. She props herself on her elbows briefly so she could remove her bra leaving herself completely nude in front of him.
“You’re breathtaking.” he whispers.
He stands up and leans over to kiss her lips passionately yet softly as his hands knead her large breasts, his fingertips pinching at her nipples. Viola let’s her hands advance as well as one wanders through his blonde hair while the other pays attention to his hard cock that seems to grow every second. They continue to kiss, tongues meeting before Aubrey pulls away to leave tantalizing kisses that seemed to scorch her skin all the way down. From her neck he gently bites, enough to leave marks and pepper light kisses afterwards until her reaches her right breast. His mouth attaches to her nipple and he bites down as he sucks hard causing Viola to cry out. He then moves to her other breast, applying the same pressure. Her arms find themselves tracing his back, her nails digging into his skin. He lets his tongue swirl around her nipple before he travels south her navel where in a moment of clarity Viola says
“Aubrey please...I don’t think I can take much teasing. Just fuck me, I want to feel you.”
He pauses but continues to press kisses until he’s back at her inner thighs.
“Not yet. I want to savor making love to you Viola. I want to taste you.”
Instantly Viola feels her eyes roll in the back of her head and loud moans escape her lips as Aubrey’s tongue dives deep into her soaking pussy. She writhes in pleasure as she feels his mouth working her close to her release. Soon she feels familiar tension in her abdomen build as her fingers bury into his head. With her breath heavy she warns
“I’m so close…”
But he doesn’t stop but continues, his tongue working faster. It didn’t take long before Viola arches her back and feels her legs shake as she cums hard and rides out the wave of pleasure.
Aubrey extracts himself between her legs and presses a hard kiss to her plump lips.
“You taste amazing Viola. I love to make you cum baby, just watching you was the sexiest thing.”
Viola smiles and feels herself grow even wetter at his words. Despite feeling slightly weak from her orgasm, she manages to flip their positions so that she’s on top. She smiles down and as she gazes at his surprised expression.
“Now it’s my turn to taste you.”
“Viola, you don’t have--”she places her fingers on his lips.
“This moment is about both of us. I want to do this. You know how long I wanted to do this? How many times I’ve imagined having your thick cock in my mouth and swallowing your load?
(I lied. Hearing her talk dirty is the most sexiest thing.)
“Jesus Viola.”
She grins mischievously at him and dives lower until she reaches his dick and presses small kiss on the tip.
“Ohhh fuck…”
She continues to steadily kiss along the base of the shaft the lick her way back to the head before she takes him fully in her mouth. She bobs up and down slowly as she moans. Her tongue swirls all around his dick as she feels his hips buck, forcing his cock down further. She feels the pressure of his hand tangled in her hair that makes her continue to engulf him in her mouth, motivated to go faster and faster.
“Mhhmm Viola, wait I’m close…”
She ignores him and continues to suck more and more in hopes to bring him to the same release he did moments ago. She removes her mouth to catch her breath and suddenly feels a rough tug on her hair, forcing her away and back up. She licks some drops of his pre-cum from her lips as she stares deep in his eyes..
His blue eyes are now dark as he heavily breathes
“It felt too good, I almost couldn’t contain myself. I need to feel you.”
He then flips them once more so he’s on top. His body laying on top of hers. His eyes asking her the silent question. She smiles and lovingly runs her hand on his cheek.
“I’m ready.” she says softly.
Aubrey kisses her on the lips sweetly as he spreads her legs open and inserts himself slowly into her. He waits to let her adjust to him and after a couple seconds he begins to enter in and out. Soon both find a rhythm as they make love. Aubrey strokes are deep and long driving Viola crazy. She claws at his bed sheets and writhes from how good it feels, desperate for more.
“You feel amazing. So tight and wet.”
“Good Aubrey, you’re killing me. Go faster baby. Please make love to me harder and faster, I can’t take it anymore.”
He picks up his pace and buries his cock deeper, harder, and faster into her pussy making her moan louder and louder. Viola leans up and bits into his shoulders causing Aubrey to groan and continue to push her to the edge. As she nears her release, he stops and pulls out. Before she can question him, he flips her own her stomach and sets her on her knees.
She feels his body press into her back as he kisses down her shoulder and enters her from behind continuing the same pace as before. His hands reach under to grasp her breasts tightly as he fucks her from behind, the room is filled with the sounds of slick skin slapping and their moans. It doesn’t take long until they both cry out each others name as the both reach the peak. They collapsed onto the bed and hold each other as they bask in the aftermath of their lovemaking.
Laying her head on his chest and feeling his fingers toy with her hair, Viola struggles to keep her eyes open. She speaks softly
“That was amazing.”
“It was. Hmm, get some rest, beautiful. We have work tomorrow.”
With her eyes closed she responds
“Okay. Good night.”
Viola feels him press a sweet kiss to her forehead.
“Goodnight Viola.”
Right before she loses consciousness she hears a final thought before sounds of soft breathing takes over.
(I’m falling for you.)
And in her mind she says
“I am too.”

tl;dr in case you don’t like reading long court transcripts: Cop with iffy eyesight claims dancers were nude in a few scenes, lawyers question him and make him seem like a total idiot. Magistrate rules show is immoral, taking this to trial. I also added further research at the end to explain what happened in the end.
7/12/30:
GAUZE CURTAIN DIDN'T STOP COY COP VIEWING CARROLL 'NUDITIES'
"The extended monologue of Police Capt. James Coy, the leading man, yesterday prevented the conclusion of the drama 'Are We Immoral or Are We Merely Beautiful?' presented by Earl Carroll's 'Vanities' in Jefferson Market court. Next week: Essex Market court.
"That, in the language of the theatre program, is what happened on the second day of the courtroom run of 'Vanities' special command performance.
"Coy-by-name-and-nature, Capt. Coy stole the show, from the time he said mincing Faith Bacon was 'stark naked from the nape of her neck down to her heels,' until Magistrate Maurice Gottlieb suddenly adjourned the hearing on Wales law indecency charges with the explanation that he had important business to transact.
"If Earl Carroll, Jimmy Savo, the low comedian, and the eight beauties the police are attempting to jail for their antics in the current revue at the New Amsterdam theatre are jealous of Coy's performance yesterday, they must take advantage of their day on the court stage in Essex Market on Tuesday next.
"Coy, kittenish ex-star of 'Pleasure Man's' courtroom run, gave a monologue that for stark realism matched the supposed stark nakedness which caused Wednesday's matinee raid at the New Amsterdam and the arrest of the eight coryphees--Naomi Ray, Irene Ahlberg, Eileen Wenzel, Faith Bacon, Kay Carroll, Constance Trevor, Betty Veronica and Frances Joyce.
"Blushing furiously, Capt. Coy began by identifying Miss Bacon, who not only wore clothes, but even furs in court-a gray fox fur choker, a gray-and-blue sports ensemble and a purple cloche hat.
"Q: 'Now, Capt. Coy, your version, please?' said Assistant District Attorney Louis Wasser. A. 'I bought two tickets for the "Vanities" performance at a ticket agency near the theatre and went to my seat which was marked "M," the tenth row.'
" 'Tell us everything you saw in the theatre?' interrupted the magistrate.
" 'But your honor,' said Wasser. 'that will take all day.'
"'Well, then will you continue with the alleged objectionable scenes?' Gotlieb replied. A. 'The first scene I considered objectionable showed a number of females lying on their backs on the stage. The defendant, Faith Bacon, came down the center of the stage, swinging two large fans, and danced. When she turned during her dance I could see her naked body from the nape of her neck down to the heels, from a side and rear view.'
" 'Could you see the front of her body?' asked the magistrate. A. 'No, she swung her fans in such a manner that only her face was showing.'
"Capt. Coy, who objected later to being styled an expert, described the entrance of Miss Bacon onto the stage, clad similar to Lady Godiva, in long blonde tresses and with two fans instead of a white charger.
" 'Was she naked?' Magistrate Gotlieb asked. 'Absolutely and positively,' the captain replied.
" 'Do you wear glasses?' asked Attorney Vorhaus. A. 'Only for reading.'
"Q. Did you notice a gauze curtain between the dancers and the audience? A. Yes, a curtain of thin gauze.
"Q. But still you insist that with eyes that need glasses to read with and a distance of thirty-five to forty feet away you were still able to see whether or not Miss Bacon wore absolutely no clothing? A. Absolutely, she was stark naked.
"At this point the star in question smeared on some lipstick and turned her eyes heavenward in utter boredom.
" 'If I had a couple of fans here I would show how it was done,' said Coy waving his hands in circular motion. The crowd roared but newspapermen recalled the splendid imitations Coy had given when prosecuting Mae West and her cast in 'Pleasure Man.'
"For a time Magistrate Gotlieb considered clearing the courtroom, but officers circulating through the 300 men and women restored order and quieted the laughter that followed Coy's offer to mimic the dainty Faith Bacon.
"Q.- 'Will you admit the stage was darkened?' asked Vorhaus. A. - 'Sure, partly darkened,' said Coy.
"Q. - "Were you shocked, captain?' said the magistrate. A.- 'I certainly was shocked, your honor.'
"Several times during Coy's testimony smill Jimmy Savo would grit his teeth and make utterances under his breath at the captain. Carroll and others in the defense group would laugh and pat him on the shoulder to quiet him.
"Attorney Benjamin J. Rubin, who defended the show girls, was next to cross-examine Coy. He said:
" 'Your honor, it is my intention to show that all stage dances are meant to bring out an illusion.' Turning to Coy, he said:
"Q. 'Do you know what the illusion of a dance is?' A. 'No.'
"Q. 'Have you ever seen Isadora Duncan dance?' A. 'No.'
"Q. 'Have you ever seen Pavlowa dance?' A. 'Yes, at the Metropolitan Opera House, but she wore clothes.'
"Coy then described the scene, 'A Window at Merl's.'
" 'The girls were in a window effect, posing as models when they stepped out of their statue parts and started to talk. Naomi Ray and Savo came on the stage and she said to him: "Now, I'll tell you how to dress a window." She sent him over to Miss Frances Joyce and he started removing her stockings, under her direction.'
"Q. 'Was she sitting?' asked Vorhaus. A. 'No, standing.'
"Q. 'While she was standing did he (Savo) kneel down to remove the stockings?' asked the magistrate. A. 'Yes.'
" 'Then,' when on Coy, 'Miss Ray said, "Do you follow me?" and Savo said, "I'm way ahead of you." Then he went to Miss Kay Carroll and took off her gown--'
"Q. 'Was she--was she standing there then in her--er-er-er-what shall we call it--lingerie?' asked the magistrate. A. 'Yes,' said Coy.
" 'Go on, go on.'
" 'Then, while she was putting on a gown with a fuller and wider skirt her bloomers dropped off and Savo put his head under the gown to adjust the apparel. I could put on the bloomers without putting my head under the dress.'
" 'I didn't,' Savo muttered. 'I did not.' Carroll and the others quieted him.
"Coy was the target of a barrage of questions from Attorney Vorhaus concerning a visit he made to the New Amsterdam theatre on Wednesday a few hours after the raid.
"Q. 'What did you go there for?' asked Vorhaus. A. 'I went to see whether any of the crimes were still being committed and intended to make summary arrests, for the persons were out on bail.'
"With Coy's testimony finished, the magistrate said:
" 'I have important business to attend to, and we'll adjourn until next Tuesday and resume this trial in Essex Market court.'
"Objections by Wasser brought no answer from Gotlieb.
"As though the pale Carroll, who hints that rivals instigated the raid on his 'Vanities,' hasn't enough court troubles already, the Shuberts crashed down on him with an injunction suit yesterday.
"Seeking to force Carroll to discontinue the sensational under-sea ballet-a big feature of the current 'Vanities'- the Shuberts charge he stole the idea for which they paid good, hard cash.
"The Shuberts say they bought the American rights to the idea after they saw the under-sea balley in the famous 'Folies Bergere' of Paris."
7/16/30
Coy, Ex-Elephant Washer, Proves 'Vanities' Lewdness
"This ex-Maharajah of Baluchistan--otherwise Capt. James Coy, official police censor--convinced Magistrate Maurice Gotlieb in Essex Market court yesterday that Earl Carroll's latest 'Vanities' is, or was, an indecent performance.
"Cross-examination of Coy revealed his identity as the ex-maharajah. Before becoming a police officer-and later the moral watchdog of Broadway shows-the captain confessed he had worked for a circus washing elephants for 50 cents a day.
"His laundry work was done in the morning; so Coy was able to pose as the maharajah on the elephant line, when the crowds trooped into the circus grounds for the afternoon performance.
"The captain, who caused the arrest of Carroll, Jimmy Savo, the pantomiming comedian, Faith Bacon and seven other beauties of the 'Vanities' cast, freely admitted that rajahing and washing elephants was the limit to histrionic experience.
"But he so graphically reiterated previous testimony and stuck to his description of scenes 5 and 12 in the 'Vanities' so tenaciously that Magistrate Gotlieb said he was convinced that the 'Vanities' had been a lewd performance.
"He gave Louis Vorhaus and Julius Kindler, Carroll's council, until Thursday afternoon to file briefs, but he said:
" 'I believe that nudity existed in this show, and whether indecency takes place on the stage or any other public place in the jurisdiction of the courts of New York, the defendant must respond.'
"The 'defendant' means Miss Bacon, principal in the fan dance, Carroll and Savo with Irene Ahlberg, Constance Trevor, Eileen Wenzel, Frances Joyce, Kay Carroll, Naomi Ray and Betty Veronica, the latter seven participants in the window dressing scene, considered objectionable by Coy.
"All arguments by defense consel could not change Gotlieb's position and he brought the hearing to a close by saying:
" 'There is much at stake for the defendants, and it will do no good to file a defense here, for it has gone out of my jurisdiction.'
"This remark seemed to indicate that the magistrate had determined to hold the defendants for trial in a court of record.
"Just as he did at the first session of the Vanities courtroom scenes, Coy stole the show from the time he was called to the stand for questioning until he was excused.
"The first question was by Kindler, conducting the cross-examination.
"Q.-Captain, now in your previous testimony you testified that the defendant Savo put his hand under the dresss of the defendant Joyce and his head under the gown of defendant (Kay) Carroll. Is that your recollection? A.-He put his head under the Carroll dress and his hand under the dress of the defendant Joyce. That is true.
"Q.-Can you tell me what hand he put under the dress? A.-Yes, it was the right hand because it was the right stocking he took off.
"Q.-You're absolutely sure of that and even from where you were sitting you can tell us how he did this? A.-Absolutely, if you bring the defendant Joyce here and the court permits it-
"(The Court) 'We'll have no such demonstration as that here. Let that be settled once and for all.'
"After several minutes of wrangling over technicalities in which the court, prosecuting and defense attorneys figuered, Kindler asked Coy:
"Q. Now, in that window dress scene 'A Window at Merl's,' Miss Ray was posing as the owner of shop and was instructing Mr. Savo how to dress a model. A.-That's correct.
"Q. You could see from where you were sitting all right? A. Perfectly.
"Q. But you didn't notice any panels in the dress which you say Mr. Savo stuck his head beneath did you? A. Not to my recollection.
"Q. But you know that Miss Ray took the first dress off the defendant Carroll and put on another dress, don't you? A. Yes, I saw that distinctly and the defendant Carroll was standing on the stage in her underwear.
"Q. And you didn't see any panels in the dress into which Savo might insert his head without placing it under the skirt? A. No, it looked like an ordinary evening gown to me.
"Kindler: Do the panties fall off this defendant Carroll? A. (coyly) Yes, the little panties fall down.
"Q. Does Savo put the panties on? A. Yes, he puts his head under the dress and is concealed from the audience--
"(Court) Do they fit up to the waistlines? Panties do don't they? I don't know much about panties.
"Coy: I saw the defendant Savo deliberately (an objection against this word caused him to leave it out of his answer) take the edge of the dress, and pull it over his head, which disappeared under the dress, and to my mind he put the bloomers back on the woman Carroll.
"At this point, Savo's mouth twitched and his hands were rubbing nervously while Carroll, who sat in a high backed chair, nibbled at his well manicured fingers and a half a dozen wrinkles secured fixtures on his brow.
"Kindler: The dress going over Savo's head might have been an accident, captain? Coy: (half-smiling) Absolutely not accidental.
"At this point, Kindler waved a page from a New York paper in the air and shouted at Coy: 'Did you not give this interview?'
"(Court) Please don't screech or yell.
"Kindler: Did you see 'Lysistrata'? Yes.
"Q. Did you say that, in your opinion, 'Lysistrata' was not obscene because it was an artistic production? A. I don't recall saying that.
"Q. When you saw the Vanities performance was the audience laughing? A. I don't know. I wasn't laughing. I was shocked.
"Here Attorney Vorhaus resumed the cross-examination.
"Q. How old are you captain? A. (after some hesitation) Going on 49 and I've been 20 years on the force.
"Q. You have been referred to here several times as captain. What is meant by that? A. (sarcastically) It means a grade above lieutenant.
"Q. (Vorhaus) Well, does it mean that you're a captain because of your own histrionic ability or talent? A. Because I do my duty.
"Q. But you have been an actor, haven't you, Capt. Coy? A.-Well, I used to be with the circus. (Coy appeared not to like it and his face became flushed.)
"Q. (by Vorhaus) What did you do in the circus? A. Well, I'll tell you. They used to say that I had a big job with the circus. I used to wash elephants. And O, yes, I was the Maharajah of Baluchistan, the High Potentate, but in reality I was merely a supernumerary getting 50 cents a day.
"The answer seemed to stop Attorney Vorhaus for he asked no more than a couple of other questions and Assistant District Attorney Wasser asked:
"Q.-Captain, how many nights did you see the pants drop? A.-On Monday and Tuesday nights.
"Q.-Then it couldn't have been accidental? A.-No.
" 'The people rest,' said Wasser.
"As other defense counsel sought to question Capt. Coy, the magistrate said:
" 'That's all, that'll be all. You can go now captain.'
"Vorhaus moved to have the case thrown out.
"Magistrate Gotlieb responded by telling Vorhaus that a defense in Magistrate's court would be wasted endeavor and in his opinion the dance by Miss Bacon was sufficient to convince him the show was immoral.
"More than 500 persons who gathered at 2nd Ave and 2nd St. were dispersed by a squad of patrolmen who allowed none but those having business in the court building to enter."
I also searched to see what the turnout of this case was. Apparently, Coy went ahead and demonstrated the fan dance during the trial, using his straw hat to represent the fans, but the jury wasn’t amused. The jury would not indict, but Carroll agreed to drop the scenes with almost-nudity from his show. Also, of the women who were arrested, only the ones who were directly involved were held. So that means Betty was soon let go, along with three of the other dancers.
Also, Earl Carroll was used to flirting with trouble. He’d previously served jail time for exhibiting a naked/half-naked (depending on who you ask) girl at a party in a tub full of (then) illegal alcohol during the 1920s, even though he tried to claim the liquid was ginger ale.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: The Dashing Duke and Pirate Lord of Tatooine
This is for you @jerseytigermoth
“Obi-Wan Kenobi, know aliases Ben Kenobi, Ben Kryze, Old Man Kenobi, Obes Kenobes?”
The Jedi Master/Pirate/Rebellion General smiled at the befuddled expression on the Prosecutor’s face opposite of where he stood, hands cuffed and resting lightly on the bar in front of him. He chuckled. “Ah yes! That alias was given to me by a very lovely woman. She was quite nice.”
Shaking his head in a mix of confusion and disgust, the Prosecutor continued on. “Also known as Captain Kenobi, the Pirate Lord of Tatooine, High General Kenobi, the Dashing Duke and the Sass Master of Mandalore?”
“Is that all of them?” Obi-Wan asked. “Are you certain you haven’t missed any? That list seems a little short. Did you include the Scourge of the Outer Rim? Oh! For a while I was calling myself Arulas because someone thought it sounded cool.”
There was a snort from back in the gallery of criminals and a sullen, “It did sound cool.”
Flabbergasted the prosecutor tried to reassert his authority. “Your list of crimes against the galaxy are…”
“Ah! Rako Hardeen!” Obi-Wan nodded, reaching up to scratch his nose. “I knew you forgot one.”
The presiding judge banged his gavel and leaned forward, peering down at Obi-Wan. “That’s enough out of you, traitor! You’re far too old for such childish antics.”
“Quite right, your honor,” the Jedi Pirate Rebel nodded with great dignity. “Please continue, Tanver.”
The Prosecutor stammered out a puzzled, “What?! How… how did you know?!”
Winking, Obi-Wan replied. “Jedi Secrets. Also your name was included on my arrest documents. You have a most artistic signature, Counselor.”
There was a low-level snicker coming from the gallery and the Judge hammered his gavel.
“ORDER!”
“My apologies, your honor,” Obi-Wan smiled and turned to look back over his shoulders at the assembled criminals, hoodlums, rebels and pirates behind him. “Do be quiet, dear friends. Prosecutor Tanver Seabright is trying to charge me with grievous crimes against the Empire.”
There was a loud and raccous “Boo!” from the gallery and the judge in charge hammered his gavel so hard, Obi-Wan wondered if it was going to break off at the handle.
Once there was something resembling silence the unnerved Prosecutor continued. “Obi-Wan Kenobi, you stand accused of high treason, espionage, privateering, piracy, smuggling of illegal goods and contraband, racketeering, grand larceny, assault with a deadly weapon, kidnapping and kidnapping of an Imperial agent.”
Obi-Wan opened his mouth to plead but Prosecutor Tanver cut him off.
“I’m not finished!” the flustered man snapped. “You are also charged with the following: distributing anti-Imperial propaganda, impersonating an Imperial officer, theft of Imperial ships, theft of sentient property, impersonating a Hutt??”
Obi-Wan just shrugged enigmatically.
“Colluding with the known criminal Hondo Ohnaka, exceeding the recommended speed limit on a single seat speeder, wearing a disguise in public, issuing fake news over the Imperial Approved Channel, committing an unnatural and lascivious act on Corellia…”
“Oh-ho yes,” the Jedi Pirate grinned, his blue eyes bright and his smile utterly sinful. “That was fun.”
Rolling his eyes, the Prosecutor moved on. “Public indecency, seduction of the royal heir of Akitan III, impersonation of a vicar, excessive winking at sentients of breedable age, serving wine in teacups on Nidai II, promulgating rebel propaganda to minors, running an illegal sabacc room, public acts of profanity…”
“Obi-Wan Kenobi!” came a gasp of mock outrage from the gallery. “You villain!”
“I am sorry to have disappointed you, Ahsoka,” Obi-Wan shrugged back at his right hand woman, his hands out and apologetic. “Please continue, Counselor.”
“Possessing and distributing live triffles? What is a triffle?” the Prosecutor asked, confused.
“It’s a tribble and it’s a small, hairy mammal that does little more than eat and purr for their owners,” Obi-Wan explained. “And they’re quite… virile, to say the least.”
“Is that all Counselor?” the judge asked.
“Ah… yes… er… no?” Prosecutor Tanver flipped through Obi-Wan’s entire rapsheet. “By the Stars! There’s another two pages of charges! Something about having illegally swooshy hair, excessive flirting with the enemy, seduction of an Imperial agent, a certain D. Vader, impersonating the Emperor and cavorting with a known planetary ruler of unquestioned virtue in direct defiance of the Jedi Code?! Is that an actual crime?”
“What? Vader left out that one time I burnt his pancakes?” Obi-Wan observed cooly.
The Prosecutor scanned through the rest of the warrant pages and let out shocked sound. “No! That’s in here too! Gross misconduct in the kitchen and wanton arson against breakfast foods. I’m not sure that is even a crime, your honor.”
“Nevermind that,” the judge groaned. “How do you plead, Kenobi?”
“Not guilty, of course,” Obi-Wan smiled for the court and paused to give the processing droid a charming portrait, his hand raised up to his chin as he contemplated his next course of action. “Well, I am guilty of wanton arson against those pancakes. I was in a foul mood and burnt them on purpose.”
“Right,” the judge groaned and waved his hand. “Can you make bail, Kenobi?”
“Oh I won’t be needing that,” Obi-Wan chuckled as he waved off two very nice innocent Imperial military police officers, who flew backwards onto Prosecutor Tanver’s table with a shout. “I was really just here to collect my friends and get my picture taken. Now if you will excuse me? Artoo?”
The little blue astromech emerged from whatever corner it had been hiding in and let out a terrifying shriek as it spun its dome around and around, shocking and confusing the lawyers and other servants of the law in the courtroom. He fired out three different lightsabers, one for Obi-Wan and two for Ahsoka as Obi-Wan dashed over to the control panel and turned off the ray shield that was keeping the majority of his crew and fellow rebellious scoundrels imprisoned. Rex, Wolffe and Boyle charged towards some stormtroopers, easily overcoming the poor recruits as as Ahsoka protected led the rest of Hollow Circle gang towards the new gaping hole in the far wall. “Cirne! Pira! Stick close to me! Rex! We need cover! Hondo’s only got three minutes max before we have to get out of here.”
Prosecutor Tanver was so scared and confused that when Obi-Wan strolled slowly over to him, smiling like a predatory wolf, he wondered if the Jedi was going to kill him. “What… what do you want?”
As the sounds of blasters and distant explosions rocked the small courthouse of Peerita 5, Obi-Wan offered a hand to the young man, pulling him upright before speaking softly, “Freedom, my friend. Make sure you send Darth Vader the new copy of my wanted poster.”
And with that, Captain Kenobi, The Dashing Duke and the Scourge of the Outer Rim, the Pirate Lord of Tatooine and the Sass Master of Mandalore, owner of a moon and maintainer of perfectly swooshy ginger hair gave the confused, nervous and possibly turned-on lawyer a bow and a jaunty salute before he loped over to the smoking hole in the wall. Ahsoka Tano, who was a highly desired Imperial target in her own right was waiting for him, her hands on her hips as she covered the fleeing forms of their compatriot former clone troopers. “Was that really necessary?”
“This from a woman who thought stealing a star destroyer from an Imperial base was a good idea? Really?” Obi-Wan laughed, shaking his head. “I suppose I should be glad Bail and Leia weren’t with you when they managed to track you down to Klatooine!”
“Is Mama Ohnaka okay?” Ahsoka asked as Artoo joined them on the air skiff. “I know she didn’t have a choice but I hope they weren’t too hard on her.”
“Kenobi! I am so glad to see you my friend!” Hondo Ohnaka cheered as the rest of the crew found a place to strap in as the skiff streaked away from the smoking courthouse. “And little Ahsoka too! I knew my plan would work perfectly! Mama sends her love and says you owe her fifty thousand credits!”
“Fifty thousand credits?!” Ahsoka gasped, affronted. “She told me twenty!”
“Ah well, what can I say?” Hondo smiled. “The price went up but I’m sure we can make a deal, no? We are all pirates after all! What is a few credits between friends?”
“I’m not sure Hondo Ohnaka is the kind of person I would want to be friends with,” Rex chuckled to Wolffe, who smiled a little.
“Just get us back to the Lucky Duchess, Hondo,” Obi-Wan sighed as the Hollow Circle Pirates flew off into the sunset, living to fight another day.
“Obi-Wan? Me and Rex were curious,” Ahsoka asked as the skiff flew further and further towards the horizon, getting smaller with every passing minute. “How does one impersonate a Hutt?”
“With style, my dear Ahsoka. With style.”

In a surprise move Monday, former NFL Player Kellen Winslow, Jr. agreed to plead guilty to raping a teen in 2003 and to the reduced charge of sexual battery of a 54-year-old to avoid the possibility of life in prison.
Looking uncomfortable as he sat in San Diego County Superior Court Monday, the 36-year-old had asked the judge for extra time to make his decision, the Associated Press and NBC News report.
When the judge asked the former tight end if he had thoroughly discussed the plea agreement with his attorney, Winslow turned around to look at his family before answering, “Yes, yes, your Honor,” NBC San Diego reports.
Asked by the judge if the lesser sentence was a motivating factor in accepting the plea, Winslow said quietly, “It is.”
In exchange for the plea, the judge sentenced him to 12 to 18 years in prison for the two charges – and dismissed the others, the Associated Press reports.
Winslow will be sentenced in coming weeks, putting an end to the legal troubles he has faced in the last two years.
In June, Winslow was convicted of forcible rape of a 58-year-old homeless woman in Encinitas in San Diego County.
He was also found guilty of two misdemeanors – indecent exposure and a lewd public act, PEOPLE reported previously.
But jurors were unable to decide on eight other charges he faced, including the rape of the unconscious 17-year-old and the rape of the 54-year-old hitchhiker, forcing a retrial, NBC San Diego reports.
The retrial would have included felony charges of kidnapping, sodomy, forced oral copulation and two charges of rape, NBC News reports.
The district attorney and Winslow’s attorneys did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
His attorneys claim he suffers from traumatic brain injury from playing football which they say should be considered when he is sentenced, NBC reports.
In June, Winslow was convicted of raping a homeless woman he had given food and money to in the past, The Washington Post reports.
On Mother’s Day in 2018, he told her that he was taking her to get coffee, but instead drove her to a secluded area and raped her.
“I thought we were going to stop at Denny’s, and he just kept going and going and going and going,” the woman said in her testimony. “He held me, grabbed my arm … and said, ‘We’re going to have sex.’ It was painful. I just kept my eyes closed. I was afraid of him. … He was a super big guy. … I just knew there was no way out.
“He told me if I scream, he’ll choke me to death or murder me — I don’t know what it was,” she testified. “I thought I was on my last night.”
Decisions were also reached in June concerning additional accusations brought against Winslow, in March, which led to his arrest.
Winslow was found guilty of a lewd act when he gestured at his groin and asked a 77-year-old woman working out next to him “if she liked it” at a gym in Carlsbad, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.
He was not found guilty of a separate incident, in which he was accused of committing a lewd act next to her in a hot tub a few weeks later.

He was also found guilty of exposing himself to a 57-year-old woman while she was gardening in Encinitas, the Union-Tribune reported.
“This case is not a he-said, she-said,” Deputy District Attorney Dan Owens told the jury in closing arguments on June 4, according to Yahoo! News. “This case is a she-said and she-said and she-said and she-said and she-said. Five separate women, five separate victims, all corroborated by each other. This man is a sexual predator who has victimized all of these women.”
“Lightning certainly doesn’t strike twice, let alone five times.”
Winslow Jr.’s lawyer, Marc Carlos, said in his closing arguments that there were “major-league holes” and inconsistencies in the accusers’ testimonies, according to Yahoo.

• Bill Cosby arrived in court in Norristown, Pa., on Tuesday to be sentenced for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand at his home near Philadelphia 14 years ago. Prosecutors have asked that he be sentenced to the maximum: 10 years in prison.
• Timothy Foley, a forensic psychologist and defense witness, testified that Mr. Cosby’s age, 81, blindness, and frailty meant the risk of him re-offending was “extraordinarily low.”
• Mr. Cosby will be given an opportunity to speak to the court before the sentence is handed down. It’s not clear whether he will, and it’s almost certain that he won’t express remorse because he plans on appealing his conviction.
• He is likely to be incarcerated, experts say, though it is unclear for how long. His lawyer on Monday had asked for a sentence of house arrest.
• Still to be decided: whether Mr. Cosby should be classified as a “sexually violent predator,” a finding under Pennsylvania law that could lead to a sentence at the higher end of the range.
A psychologist testifies that Mr. Cosby is no predator
NORRISTOWN, Pa. — Bill Cosby will be sentenced here Tuesday after testimony by a psychologist for the defense, who said the entertainer is not a sexually violent predator.
The expert, Timothy Foley, contradicted a psychologist representing Pennsylvania’s Sexual Offenders Assessment Board who testified Monday, the first day of Mr. Cosby’s sentencing hearing, that he had demonstrated a lifetime interest in sex with nonconsenting women, which indicated a mental abnormality.
The determination of whether a defendant is a sexually violent predator can be a factor in sentencing and in the conditions imposed both in prison and afterward.
“I found him to be extraordinarily low risk,” Dr. Foley said.
He came to his opinion, he said, after he met with Mr. Cosby for three hours on July 18 and also after reviewing some records. He said he had read none of the trial records or depositions in the case.
M. Stewart Ryan, a prosecutor, asked whether he was aware that Mr. Cosby had admitted to giving seven prescriptions of quaaludes to give to women for sex. Dr. Foley said he wasn’t.
Dr. Foley also said he didn’t know that five other women had testified at trial that they had been assaulted by Mr. Cosby.

Mr. Cosby’s lawyer, Joseph P. Green, argued Monday that Mr. Cosby’s age, 81, and the fact he is legally blind, meant he was no risk, especially since there have been no new allegations of sexual abuse leveled against him since 2004.
“How’s he going to meet these people?” Mr. Green said. “There is no reasonable prospect that an 81-year-old blind man is likely to reoffend.”
But the psychologist for the state panel, Kristen F. Dudley, said she did not believe the disorder had dissipated with age. “It is possible that he has already met someone who could be a future victim,” she said.
The final decision rests with Judge Steven T. O’Neill, who is presiding over the hearing.
Once Judge O’Neill has made his ruling on the predator question, which is expected midmorning Tuesday, he will proceed with sentencing, which could lead, later in the day, to one of the world’s best-known entertainers entering a prison cell.
Will he speak?
Mr. Cosby was convicted in April of drugging and assaulting Andrea Constand, a former Temple University employee to whom he had been a mentor.
Ms. Constand spoke in court on Monday, along with her mother, father and sister. Ms. Constand told the judge: “The jury heard me, Mr. Cosby heard me and now all I am asking for is justice as the court sees fit.”

But the most dramatic moment of the hearing may be yet to come if Mr. Cosby finally speaks at length to the many accusations that have been leveled against him. Though he has denied sexually abusing any of the women who have accused him, he has not addressed the matter in a sustained way.
Most experts say they do not anticipate that Mr. Cosby will express remorse because his team has already announced his plan to appeal his conviction. Nevertheless, Judge O’Neill encouraged him to speak.
“I hope that if he so chooses he will get the last word,” Judge O’Neill said.
At least seven women who have accused Mr. Cosby of similar acts of sexual abuse were in the courtroom Monday to watch the sentencing, including three who testified at the trial in April. Expect many of them to return on Tuesday.
But Mrs. Cosby? She was absent Monday. Will she be there Tuesday?
How long will he get?
Mr. Cosby had faced a maximum 30-year prison term: 10 years for each of three counts of aggravated indecent assault he was convicted of.
But Judge O’Neill chose on Monday to merge the counts into one, as is allowed when they stem from the same event. In this case, they originated with an encounter in January 2004 when, Ms. Constand said, Mr. Cosby sexually assaulted her after giving her pills that made her drift in and out of consciousness.
Judge O’Neill will consider state guidelines that recommend, but do not mandate, appropriate sentence ranges. Those guidelines, which take into account any previous criminal record (Mr. Cosby has none), the seriousness of the offense, and mitigating and aggravating factors, suggest a range of about 10 months to four years, But Judge O’Neill has great leeway, and prosecutors on Monday asked him to sentence Mr. Cosby to a maximum five-to-10-year term.
Kevin R. Steele, the Montgomery County District Attorney, said the judge should use the sentencing to send a wider message.
“The bottom line, your honor, is nobody’s above the law,” said Mr. Steele. “Others in a similar situation need to understand that.”
Will he remain free on appeal?
Mr. Cosby’s lawyers have filed several motions suggesting that they will pursue an appeal that challenges the judge’s rulings and even the judge’s personal integrity.
A key question for Tuesday will be whether Mr. Cosby is allowed to remain out on bond during the appeal process, which could take years.
His lawyers will argue that he is not a flight risk, and that he is not likely to commit another crime.
But if Judge O’Neill were to permit him to stay at home, the judge would surely face bitter criticism from the many female accusers eager for closure this week.
On Monday, Mr. Green argued in favor of house arrest, saying Mr. Cosby is a danger to no one and that the court must be careful not to allow public opinion to affect its decision making. “In this case we rely on you to make sure that that public advocacy doesn’t affect the application of the rule of law,” he said, adding later, “It’s your obligation to make sure that the sentencing decision is not affected by all that noise.”
But prosecutors rejected defense arguments that Mr. Cosby would be victimized in a prison because of his age and his blindness, and said that state correctional authorities have experience dealing with inmates Mr. Cosby’s age and older.

When Bill Cosby was found guilty on all three counts of aggravated indecent sexual assault yesterday, a flood of questions followed, particularly, what happens next for the comedian? In many ways this case and the subsequent verdict is breaking new territory. Cosby is the first famous man accused of sexual misconduct to be tried and found guilty of his crimes in criminal court during the era of #MeToo. He’s also going to turn 81 next month and he has been diagnosed as legally blind — two factors that likely influenced the judge’s decision to place Cosby under house arrest yesterday rather than sending him directly to a jail cell. We know you have questions about this very complicated case, so we’ve tried to answer them all.
What was Cosby found guilty of exactly?
Cosby was found guilty of three different felony indecent assault charges, each carrying sentences up to ten years in jail. He’s now considered a sex offender.
The first count found Cosby guilty of sexually assaulting Andrea Constand in his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004 without her consent. The second found that she was unconscious or semiconscious at the time of the assault. And the third found that Cosby gave Constand an intoxicant that severely impaired her ability to give consent.
What makes his crimes “indecent”?
Pennsylvania has a separate charge from sexual assault known as indecent assault. It’s similar to sexual assault, which is defined as engaging in sexual activity with another person without his/her consent, but it’s different in that it considers whether this is done under threat of force or when a person is incapacitated and/or intoxicated.
Okay, so what happens next?
The District Attorney’s Office initially asked that Cosby’s $1 million bail be revoked yesterday so that he would have been incarcerated directly following court proceedings. The judge disagreed and opted to honor the comedian’s bail. This means the 80-year-old can stay under house arrest with GPS monitoring at his estate in suburban Philadelphia until he faces sentencing, within 60 to 90 days. The sentencing gives Cosby’s defense team and prosecutors the opportunity to present any evidence that may influence the next penalty phase.
So Cosby just gets to sit in his big beautiful home after being found guilty of drugging and raping a woman?
Yes. But Cosby cannot leave his home and/or jurisdiction as he awaits sentencing or he risks having his bail revoked and therefore being sent immediately to jail. The prosecutors were initially concerned that Cosby, because of his means, might try to flee. He was asked to surrender his passport and agree to the terms of his bail, which includes wearing a monitoring device to track his movements.
Next, the court will assess Cosby to determine whether he’s a risk to society. They will also consider factors like his age and health to help determine his sentencing later this summer. Being almost 81 and legally blind could certainly impact the sentence.
Is Cosby living at the same house where he drugged and raped Constand?
Yes.
Is Cosby a felon now?
Yes. He must also register as a sex offender for life.
Can Cosby’s lawyers appeal the verdict?
Absolutely. In fact, right after the verdict was announced, Cosby’s lead attorney, Tom Mesereau, said he would appeal.
What happens in an appeal?
For Cosby’s legal team to appeal the verdict, they must have a legal basis for doing so. In other words, his attorneys can’t simply appeal the verdict because they don’t like it. The defense will need to pinpoint an incident or statement from the retrial to suggest it may have led to an unfair verdict. Cosby’s legal team can appeal in a few different ways in the state. They can submit a motion asking the judge to overturn the jury’s verdict or they can move for a new trial. They could also ask a higher court to reconsider the conviction. In Pennsylvania, a notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days of sentencing.
Do Cosby’s lawyers have anything to actually appeal?
That’s debatable. Cosby’s defense attorneys could potentially appeal on the grounds that the five women who testified that the comedian drugged and raped them prejudiced the jury. They may also point to any of the judge’s rulings during the retrial as reason for appeal.
Why does Cosby face ten years in jail for each count? Did they make up that number?
Indecent assault is considered a felony in Pennsylvania, making it punishable by up to ten years in jail. These sentences vary from state to state.
What’s the minimum and maximum Cosby could get?
Sentencing depends on a few factors beyond simply being found guilty. After the court has assessed Cosby’s health and whether he is ultimately a threat to society, the judge will hear evidence from both prosecutors and the defense. This gives both sides the opportunity to make their cases for everything from incarceration to house arrest. Ultimately, since felony sexual-assault charges have a mandatory state prison term, Cosby could end up spending a few years to as much as 30 years behind bars. At his age, that would be a life sentence.
Where do his other lawsuits stand?
Cosby faces several other lawsuits that are expected to move forward this summer on the West Coast.
In the first civil case, Judy Huth has accused Cosby of raping her when she was 15, in 1974, making her a minor at the time of the alleged incident. Although California’s statute of limitations has long since passed for any criminal charges to be considered, Huth is pursuing this in a civil court. She could ultimately seek damages from Cosby, who has already given a sworn deposition in this case. The case is expected to proceed at the end of July in Los Angeles.
Janice Dickinson, one of the five women who testified against Cosby during the retrial, is pursuing a defamation lawsuit against Cosby, also in Los Angeles. In March, the California Supreme Court refused Cosby’s latest appeal and ordered that the case move forward. Dickinson has publicly accused Cosby of drugging and raping her in 1982. She’s suing him for defamation after Cosby and his representatives accused her of lying about the incident.
Has Cosby paid out any money to accusers?
It was established during the retrial that Cosby paid Andrea Constand $3.38 million in a settlement in 2006. If there are other settlements, they have not been made public.
Could more accusers sue Cosby now that he’s been found guilty?
Yes. Since Cosby’s been convicted as a felon in criminal court he may end up facing even more civil suits seeking damages from accusers. To date, more than 60 women have publicly accused Cosby of drugging and/or raping them.
Can Cosby stand trial for another case while he’s in jail?
Yes. He could be subpoenaed to attend other trials. But he would remain incarcerated, meaning he would be transported by authorities and unable to move about freely during these trials.
Where will he serve his sentence?
If Cosby is sentenced to prison, his age and health will likely mean he’ll serve time in a lower-security prison. He may even be sent to a facility with an assisted-living home that either has medical facilities or is located near a hospital.
Does Andrea Constand get any damages?
Since this was a criminal trial, Constand does not receive damages. It should be noted that the case against Cosby was brought by the Commonwealth, and not Constand; she was not the plaintiff in this case. As we mentioned, Cosby already paid Constand $3.38 million in a settlement in 2006. She could pursue damages from Cosby for any number of reasons, like mental anguish and stress caused by the two trials. Constand has not commented either way.
Does he have to pay for the trial?
The Montgomery County Court where both trials took place will likely request that Cosby reimburse the county for expenses related to the trials, which total well into the millions.
What was the biggest change in deliberations from the first trial to this one?
The jury in the first trial deliberated for six days, about 52 hours overall, without being able to reach a verdict. The first trial ended in a hung jury. In the retrial, the jury deliberated for less than two days for a little over ten hours before reaching a verdict of guilty on all three charges.
Why was he convicted this time but not last time?
This is a question we will all be debating for years to come, but two of the big differences between the first and second trial have to do with the climate in which each case was tried and the number of witnesses who were called. In the first trial, Constand was the lone witness accusing Cosby of drugging and raping her. In the retrial, five other women in addition to Constand told their stories about Cosby drugging and raping them during the past 30 years. Also noteworthy to this case is that even though the first trial occurred less than one year ago, it was a very different cultural climate. It happened before men like Harvey Weinstein were publicly accused of sexual assault, and it was before the #MeToo movement really gained momentum. For his part, Cosby employed different legal teams for each case — and each team used a different strategy in court.
Where is Cosby now?
At his home in suburban Philadelphia.
