Mine
Things fell back into place between him and Lezel. Or so he thought. Hux saw her speaking to Kylo and another officer and his spine stiffened, anger seeped into him making his ears burn. He gripped his datapad making the leather of his gloves creak, moving closer he stepped up which moved him between Kylo and Lezel. Lezel blinked when Hux stepped between them saying her name briskly. He made an excuse of wanting her to review files for his visit to Star Killer Base for him, he knew no rebel would be stupid enough to go there but he wanted her away from Ren and the other officer.
Lezel took the datapad and frowned, the screen was cracked and red was staining in the crack. She took his hand startling him but she took off his glove he realized he was cut.
"This is deep, come with me." She pulled and he about argued but she gripped his wrist he felt the concern in that grip.
It wilted the rage and swept him with pride. Confused he followed her and in his office she tended to his hand carefully. Hux watched her and remembered all her markings. She was talking to him but he wasn't listening, he got up startling her as he put hands on his desk on either side of her looking down at her.
Lezel stared back; Hux could feel his heart beating in his chest, ears burning but not from anger. He moved capturing her lips and she froze, blushing after a moment closing her eyes not pulling back. Hux broke it and pressed his forehead to hers. Opening darkened Hazel orbs, possessive.
"You are mine Lezel…" He said it boldly.
She opened her eyes a bit and shivered, realizing he had crossed the line like her father before her with her mother.
"Armitage…" She wanted to tell him no, this was a bad idea, that she should transfer because if he kept over that line it would be permanent.
Hux loved his name from her lips and he hooked her chin making her look at him.
"I know the consequences Lezel, I was well informed, but I want you to be mine alone. You will be mine alone. You are mine Lezel, rather you marry me or not, you will never be rid of me. If any other tries anything you tell me immediately. No one can have what is mine." He growled a bit.
She swallowed, she had only heard and seen him this convicted before and it was during an execution. She knew better than to argue, thinking of what he planned. Strangely being his did not bother her, but at the same time she worried what he would do in his jealous temper.
He traced her cheek and she reached up touching his own like she had alone with him and his countenance softened. He couldn't help it, she was now a weakness but one he did not wish to purge.
"We can't be together the first three months." She said softly, seeing him tense and start to harden.
"I don't think you want a child so soon." She hurried and countered.
Hux eased and frowned gently, "Does it happen that soon for all paired Valsion?"
She blushed and nodded, feeling nervous and she didn't know why, being bonded to a human made her feel so many things at once, though with Hux he felt what he felt on a higher level.
Hux traced her cheek and kissed her softly. "Go back to my quarters, I'll be there soon, I need to think."
She nodded and left, fingers brushing as their hands parted. Hux breathed out and sat down feeling drained physically. Knowing it was consequences of the bond. Looking over his hand tracing the bandage, he thought of her qualities, her flaws, his qualities and flaws. He wasn't stupid to say he didn't have any, he had plenty, and he worked hard to eliminate them.
Now he needed to decide. To risk a child or send Lezel away and be without her for three months, to be honest that second option did not appeal to him in the slightest. Hux leaned back looking at the ceiling, but to risk having a child, he never even thought of family or children. He lived for his career. Yet this would be his child from his Lezel. He closed his eyes, he got lost in his thoughts letting the sounds of the ship around him center him.
