Galen nodded some. "I do." He protected those he considered his friends and allies. Perhaps someday he'd be more Jedi like than he was currently but that was a matter for the future and Galen knew that the future could be changed. So for now, he would learn all he could about what Vader had chosen to not teach Galen. Briefly, he wondered if Mara would be disappointed in him for being so loyal to Gaia but she had helped him feel.
Feeling her hand slide to the back of his head, he pulled her a little closer, deepening the kiss before she broke it. The look in her eyes combined with the kiss had his body already reacting and he pulled her a little tighter just to show her how much that had done for him before she pulled away. At her word, he followed. Part of him knew it was almost like she was his mistress and he the servant, but he couldn't find fault with it. Gaia treated him well, taught him, and had never hurt him.
Once in her bedroom, he returned her kiss hungrily, his hands deftly moving with more skill than before on removing her clothing. He went slow though, making sure his skin was lightly brushing hers.
