Anything but love
Twelve hours later Kylo was back in the Phantom 5. Rey had set the table for their game of xang-chi, but she was standing in a corner with her mind lost in the distance.
hope you had rested well? - he said as he approached her
Is he going to gloat about how well he slept last night?- she thought, she slightly lifted one of her eyebrows - much better that before - was her replied, he limited himself to node
Rey scoffed
Is not fair Kylo - she said with a tone more like her, he gave her and inquisitive look - that you can come and bring my defenses down, that you had made holes on my walls and gloat at my most intimate and darkest thoughts - she bursted out
You did the same to me - he replied
No I haven't - she started to fight back
You did it to me while you were at Ahch-To - he interrupted her
no...I wasn't pushing you to the limit...or made you relive your darkest moment
think about it again Fenik
Their minds connected as they went over the memories.
Everytime the connection activated it was because you somehow did it - Kylo explained
Rey reviewed the first time the connection happened, she just had woken up inside one of the huts happy that finally Skywalker decided to train her that she wanted to rubbed in his face. Rey felt ashamed
Then you continue coming back to rub in face what a monster I had become - he continued - until I broke apart and gave you a piece of me - he spoke with intensity - just as you revealed those memories to me - he said in amore softer voice, Rey hugged herself - I have to grant you that I wasn't expecting something like that …
And what exactly were you expecting to find? - she snapped her fire burning high almost out of control - and don't come playing the victim to ME! You didn't showed me your memories because you ...cared about me! you did it because you didn't wanted me to become a Jedi…
I did it to protect you from Skywalker! - Kylo spoke raising his voice
Oh! You really thought that Skywalker would had kill me? - said Rey with sarcasm
I considered it a possibility after he realized the connection between us - Kylo managed to talk in a more controlled tone
Rey scoffed
and I should take your word as true
have I ever lied to you?
no - she thought feeling a tingling sensation down her spine - not that I know of - she spatt back
Kylo sighed frustrated, but they were interrupted before they could continue their discussion
errr...Captain, we need you at bridge - sounded Sam's voice in the communication system
ai, be right there - she said taking a deep breath
Kylo watched her leave the room.
What is it? - Rey asked taking her seat in the control room
Pirates - said Jon
Rey scoffed
Who? - Rey asked
Soram - said Maggy while searching in their database
Rey relaxed in her seat and pressed a series of keys in the table releasing a part of the Swarm on them.
that should keep them at bay - she said
They watched as the droids reduced the fighter ships to space trash. Rey noticed a couple of ships that were getting away
prepare the cannons Jon - she ordered
ai captain
The two fighters turned around and went towards a small planet that wasn't that far. They had reached to the outer limits of the Rodia system.
I have a clear shot captain - said Jon
Don't, the last thing we want is to be constantly chased
ai captain
I'm going to leave the ship with you guys on Raia while I go to Rodia - she announced to her small crew which brightened with that idea - We need to restock before continuing and also you guys can get yourselves busy - their smiles grew bigger
How long do you think you are going to be in Rodia? - Maggi asked her
don't know, it all depends of what I find or don't find there - Rey replied, Maggi nodded
Later on that day, after finishing her training session Rey went to see Kylo. She found him in the gym practicing with a droid. He wasn't wearing any of his usual clothes. He was in short sleeves, the light shirt was wet with sweat and had sticked to his skin. Rey delighted her eyes in his well defined muscles. Kylo looked at her and gave her a half smile without stopping the fight with the droid
dammit! - she said to herself - how come you are able to know my thoughts that easely? - she spoke out loud
I don't know your exacts thoughts but I know what you are feeling - he explained to her - Your emotions sometimes are very intense Fenik
Rey scoffed
I'll radder burn high than been as cold as steel- he looked at her with resentfulness
I can teach you how to contain them - he said trying to sound casual
Rey turned her eyes up and sighed loudly
seriously, you are worst than a message stuck in perpetual repeat!
Kylo didn't look at her, he punched the droid hard that it flew several feets away
freeze all motor functions - he ordered in his typical cold voice and walked to the other side of the training area to drink some water, Rey followed him with her eyes
how was your sension? - he asked her after he was done with his water
I'm doing well - she said with pride
ok, show me - he said still with his cold tone, she ruled her eyes up again - show me - he pressed throwing a metal staff to her
She catch it, doubt visible in her face. He took of his shirt, Rey command all the self control possible to not to blush or bite her lip.
let's do it your away - he said in a voice more like Ben
Rey hesitated a little then removed her jacked, there were some red marks in her arm
ok then...so what are the terms? until know out, surrender, deathmatch…? - she said as she walked into the fighting zone
You look like you have been strike down a couple of times - he said walking towards hers - so I'll let you choose
Rey looked at him annoyed
the first to fall loses - she decided standing at a considerable distance from him holding her staff as if it was a lightsaber
fare … - Kylo started to say but Rey didn't wait to start attacking him.
Her attacks were quick and strong but Kylo manage to block them all, soon he was the one attacking her. With a series of intricate moves he managed to hit Rey on the left leg (in the shin). Rey screamed and fell.
if this were a real fight you would have lost that leg - he told her, she clenched her jaw and took a deep breath
one more - she asked, he nodded
She went after him and started attacking him fiercely but he saw an opening in her defence and he use it again. He stroked under her right arm
and now you lost an arm Fenik - he said stepping away to cool down, Rey was curled in pain
one more - she said after getting herself together
I could do this for a long time Fenik
She looked at him angrily, he could feel her fire, it covered all the room.
You need to concentrate, literally, stop wasting your energy - he talked to her as they walked tracing a circle
Rey closed her eyes a took a couple of deep breaths, her eyes were still closed when Kylo started attacking her. She block each of his attacks, still she couldn't find a window in his defences, he had improved since their last fight. Rey was working hard in trying to get Kylo to fall, the heat of the fight was increasing, they couldn't help to smile to each other every time they threw an attack or when blocking it. Rey finally saw the opportunity and she went for it. In her attempt to make him trip over he dragged her with him, she fell on top of him, she was on her knees, he was flat on the floor between her legs. Rey was holding his wrist tight above his head. For a brief moment he was surprised that she had managed to neutralized him, but them he realized how close she was. The heat of her body, the fire of her energy was intoxicating. They were both breathing heavily.
She just noticed the compromise situation that she was in. Her body tensed and she felt again as if she was frozen
what are you going to do now? - sounded Kylo's voice in her head
let it at all burn…
Rey was holding Kylo's wrists so tight that her nails had cut his skin. Her breathing was irregular, she closed her eyes tightly trying to contain tears of pass pain. When she managed to open them again, Kylo's brown eyes were fixed on her
so patiently...so calmed…
Her body relaxed, she leaned forward, he slightly opened his mouth to receive her kiss. They started smoothly then increasing the intensity. Rey had relaxed her grip on him and they were now holding their hands with their fingers tangle. They kissed deeply with their tongues tracing circle into each other. Rey relaxed more, her chest resting over his, their heart beat synchronized. Kylo released one of his hands and placed it in the small of her back. They took a moment to catch their breath, Rey was resting her forehead against his
captain we need you at the bridge - sounded Sam's voice in the communication system of the Phantom 5
Rey pushed with her arms to stand up, Kylo hold her tight by the waist
don't leave yet - he spoke with his deep soft voice, desire reflecting in his eyes, Rey relaxed, now her whole body was laying on top of Kylo.
Rey brought her hand to his head tangle her fingers in his dark hair. He placed his hand on the base of her head and tenderly guided her to kiss him again
err… captain we need you at the bridge - called Sam again- we are about to enter …
Kylo couldn't hear the end of the phrase because Rey had pushed herself back to the Phantom 5, abruptly cutting the connection between them. Kylo cursed Sam's name.
Rey felt awkward when she found herself all alone in the corridor outside of the training room, she considered to erase any recording from the security cameras while she walked towards the bridge.
A couple of hours later she had left her crew and the Phantom 5 in Raia. She was all by herself in the small Phantom Sailor on her way to Rodia that was about 3 days away. She was concentrated piloting the ship since she knew she could encounter some enemies on her way.
Kylo showed up in the small ship, he wanted to finish what they had started.
there's nobody else in this ship - he said more like confirming it to himself
Rey jumped in her seat, his entrance caused an abruptly change in the Force
I'm busy right now Kylo - she said over her shoulder
The coast is clear now, you can leave the ship in automatic course - he said to her touching her shoulder
Rey hesitated a moment before setting the ship in automatic. They moved to the back of the ship, the space was small and cramped; bunker beds on one side and in the other a small kitchenette and the lavatory. Kylo considered his options;
the bunker bed was too small to fit then both comfortably, the floor...ugh no!
He offered his hand to her, Rey looked away, she didn't want to hurt him again by rejecting him. He closed the small space between then and took her in his arms, she tried to push away, he leaned closer and kiss her. She sighed, her defenses were all down, he kissed her again, now they were in his room in the Finalizer. His hand caressed her upper body just like in her dreams. She felt lost, he was kissing her neck, heat increasing in her body. He removed her belt and let it fall on the floor, the sound made Rey to startle. Flashes of memory went through her mind quickly. Panicking she pushed Kylo away and returned to her ship. She went to the cockpit and sat down taking deep breaths, Kylo went after her.
please, just leave...
Fenik - he said as he got closer to her
I can't … please! leave! - she cried
Frustrated he left without saying anything else.
So go on, infect me
Go on and scare me to death
Dare me to leave you
Tell me I'd never forget
You could give me anything but love
Anything but love
