They drove through the hot desert for some minutes, thankfully not being forced to walk back to the ship by foot.
The sun was still burning on Rey's skin, but at least she was slightly better protected than before with her new clothes.
The ride was pretty uneventful, just on one occasion when Kylo was taking a sharp turn to avoid some sand people before they saw the speeder, she hugged him on instinct from behind and pressed against his back to not fall down the vehicle.
Rey felt him draw in a sharp breath when her chest touched his back and she instantly pressed both her hands against him after he turned the speeder and pulled herself as far away as possible again. He hissed a: "Watch it!" to her. She didn't know why he reacted like that. Maybe he was angry that she just grabbed onto him ltoo much. She didn't know.
But then again, she thought, he is the one dragging her through all this so she was not the one responsible for anything actually.
When they reached the TIE fighter, Rey instantly let her hands flew of Kylo and jumped from the speeder.
Kylo also dismounted himself and with a swoosh of his hand let the net with all the parts fall into the sand.
He took off his mask and went into the fighter. After some time he came back with a tray full of tools and two water bottles. He plopped the tools on the sand and threw one bottle wordlessly to Rey, who hastily opened it and drank some fast gulps. He also drank some, closing his eyes when the cool liquid went down his throat. He really didn't like deserts. After drinking enough he took one of the tools and some parts from the net and jumped on top of the fighter with them in both hands.
She watched him jump up and realised, that he can jump much higher than normal humans, probably using the force when doing so. She wondered if she could do it too and hoped she would learn it eventually.
He looked down from the ship to her and said: "I don't know exactly how to repair the deflector shield, but I can manage the other stuff. I presume you know how to?"
She already had the proper tools in her hand and gazed up at him, squinting into the sun. She gave him a thumbs up and just nodded, then started to work.
He stood up there and watched her a second after she gave him the thumbs up. Sometimes he wondered if he is going too easy on her, as she seems to have fun working on the ship right now. Are prisoners supposed to have fun?
They silently worked on the ship for some hours, when Kylo finally jumped down and walked over to her standing behind Rey watching her fiddle with some screws, seemingly also nearly done with her task. He saw that she did her work exceptionally good and he was somehow proud of her skills. But he wouldn't tell her this of course.
The moment he had approached her, he already felt a shift in her mood. She was brooding with anger and sadness. He wanted to say something, but she was faster.
She turned around, still holding a tool in her hand and two large screws in her mouth. She slowly took them out as Kylo watched the metal of the screw slide beneath her lips and then she asked a little shaky: "What...what will happen when the ship is repaired. What will you do with me?"
He ran a hand through his hair somehow avoiding her gaze. Then he stoically said:"I will take you back to the First Order, take the map to Skywalker begin your much-needed training."
She felt angry tears welling up, kind of knowing this would be the answer, but hearing it from him it was like the last coffin nail.
Her hands with the tools and the nails dropped down. She looked up at him with glistening eyes and pressed out a: "Why?"
"You know I need the map since I met you. And your power needs to be trained. You'd have so much potential if you'd just let me..." he started but was interrupted by her lashing out at him.
It angered her so much being at his mercy like that, she made the rash decision to attack him with the wrench in her hand. Letting out a loud growl, screaming at him furiously she tried to beat the wrench against his head. "You can't just order me around all the time! You don't own me and certainly, the First Order doesn't own me.
Fucking let me go you asshole!"
Of course, he was faster and saw her attack coming so he blocked it holding her arm upright over his head. She was panting with anger, trying to box him in the stomach with her other fist. He caught this too and held both her arms. Now she started kicking him, as it was the only part of her, still being able to move. Whilst doing that she let out frustrated groans and let her tears now stream freely down her face.
He still held her, the scene looking somehow similar to their fight on starkiller base, as he held one arm above her and the other one pressed down.
Their faces were just inches away from each other and he could see the flames in her eyes and the sweatdrops on her forehead from the heat. His own hair had fallen into his face from the sudden moves and now hung loosely in front of his eyes as he was groaning out her name as a warning.
She didn't stop trying to wiggle herself out and he was also getting tired of her kicking at him, so with one quick motion he swung his leg behind hers and sent her flying downwards into the sand. Because he still gripped her arms in his hand he also crashed down and landed somehow on top of her, pinning her down with his weight.
In a low but threatening voice he said: "Stop fighting Rey. You have no choice in this matter!"
"I would rather die, than going back there! Fucking kill me already!" Then she did something unusual for her. Turning her head to the left, looking away from him,
she just started crying - a lot. It became so much, she had to gasp for air in between sobs.
Kylo watched her for a moment and had the sudden urge to let his fingers glide to her wet cheeks and turn her face around again, so she wouldn't look away anymore.
Also, his heart hammered against his chest as if he did something wrong and was now feeling bad about it.
He was totally overwhelmed by her behaviour, so he let off his iron grip from her wrists and just watched her for some seconds as he still kneeled on her.
Rey still refused to look at him and kept on sobbing. He finally stood up, hovering over her, watching her tears trickle down her face into the sand still trying to comprehend what was happening. Did she just give up?
He instantly felt some kind of guilt seeping into him seeing her like this. So He just babbled out something he didn't want to say, but it came out anyway:
"I am sorry. You are right."
Her sobbing abruptly stopped and she turned her head in his direction, wet sand clinging to her cheek.
Her eyes grew big and she asked: "What did you say?"
He knew he shouldn't have said it and he already cursed inwardly, so he shook his head and mumbled a: "Nevermind" before angrily turning around and boarding the ship, leaving her laying in the sand.
After some blinking and brushing off the sand, she just sat there for a while thinking about his words. Rey had heard them she just asked again to check if he was serious about what he said. Was he really sorry? And about which part did he think I was right? Or did he mean everything? This certainly was some unexpected behaviour from the dark side user and she decided she'd need to ask him about it later before they'd start the ship.
When she opened the door she took a glimpse into the desert again before entering, feeling a sandstorm coming up again. He sat on the floor in a cross-legged position,
his lightsaber layed down in front of him. He seemed to be meditating and not taking interest in her being in the same room.
She plopped herself on the sofa, crossing her arms over her chest watching him.
She looked at his saber and also on Luke's which still dangled on his belt. After some minutes watching him, studying his face which seemed so calm like she has never seen before, she cleared her throat and said: "There is another sandstorm coming up. We shouldn't keep on repairing the ship right now."
He took some time to answer not opening his eyes, he said: "I know."
A minute after she said it, they could hear the sand and small stones already crashing against the ships surface and all the windows turning dark.
She grew tired of watching him meditate and obviously he wasn't in the mood to talk about what he said before. So she started going around the ship taking in the controls and checking if something else has to be repaired inside. After some time he opened his eyes, watching her wandering around. She didn't realise he was watching and kept on fumbling on the control buttons. Then she held her belly as it started to make some noises. She was hungry. She hadn't eaten for two days.
Kylo Ren then stood up, walking over to his cape. She felt him moving and suddenly turned around, watching him. He fumbled in an inside pocket of the black fabric and pulled a small bar out of it. Walking over to her, he held out his palm offering her it without saying anything.
"What is it?" She asked. "A chocolate bar." he answered. "Ok. But. But what is it?"
"You mean chocolate? Don't tell me you don't know what chocolate is." he asked raising an eyebrow.
"No I do not know what it is. But I guess it's something to eat?"
He couldn't believe it and just pulled up her hand and placed the bar into her palm. She looked at it if he has just put some bantha shit into her hand and was also surprised at his sudden touch.
Taking a step back and sitting on the sofa he stated: "Just eat it and tell me what you think." having the faintest smile playing alongside his lips.
She felt irritated but opened the bar anyway, turning it around in her hand to see if it was altered by him in some kind. "I didn't poison it if you're searching for that. It's just some damn chocolate." he said as if he had read her mind.
Rey glanced it him to see if he was lying, but more so over he had a small smile playing on his lips watching her in anticipation. Why was he so eager to know what she was thinking about this food?
She shrugged her shoulder then and took a bite. How bad could it be?The moment the chocolate meet her tongue she was overwhelmed with its pure taste.
Never in her whole life she has tasted something equal to this. It was pure sweetness melting on her tongue, giving her a feel of instant happiness, nerve endings exploding with this new experience. She closed her eyes and let out a really long deep moan whilst chewing and sucking on the piece of chocolate, prolonging the experience as much as she was able to.
Kylo still sat on the couch watching her every move. He couldn't help but stare at this whole situation feeling utterly amazed by Rey at this moment. Seeing the corners of her mouth moving up to a small smile, she brought the bar to her mouth again, not biting it, how a normal person would do it, who has eaten countless chocolate bars in her life, but she started suckling at it really slow, whilst still moaning and making loud smacking noises.
Kylo instantly got thrilled by this sight not believing his eyes, he felt like he hasn't ever seen anything more arousing than Rey sucking on a piece of chocolate. His mind was driving him crazy and he felt a really deep want coming up inside him, his cock was already twitching slightly against his pants and he had to deeply concentrate to not sit with a full erection in front of her. She even licked the melted chocolate from her fingers now and he watched her tongue glide alongside her lips.
But before his mind dwindled deeper into him imagining her lips all over his body, he disrupted this most unusual scene and asked with slightly shaky voice: "So...how is it?"
even if he knew, she liked it, he wanted to hear her voice and also to really end this situation so he wouldn't go crazy anymore.
She fell out of her drugged-like state and slowly opened her eyes dreamingly. With a really moony voice, staring at the now empty paper from the bar, she answered:
"Never in my whole life I have tasted something sweet, something this full of taste, it tasted like happiness. I can't believe I never had chocolate before. Actually I... I don't know, I guess I missed some really important stuff on Jakku." Then her eyes moved from the paper to Kylo, who was gripping the armrest on the couch with white knuckles, his eyes locked onto her lips. Suddenly she knew why and inwardly smacked herself for it.
Are you stupid or something? You can't moan and suck like a little whore on your food in front of Kylo Ren! What must he be thinking now? This is so embarrassing!
Her face went red, like a deep dark red and she put her palms on her face, hiding away from Kylo's gaze, turning her body away from him.
"You shouldn't have seen this, this is so embarrassing. Please just forget it!"
Kylo took his hands from the armrest and put his palms against each other. In a low voice he whispered. "I think I won't forget this ever. I've never seen someone eat a chocolate bar in a more pleasurable way than you just did. But maybe... don't do it again in front of me. It drove me crazy."
