Ren saw the somewhat pained expression on Hux's face and sensed his inner turmoil. He really seemed to take it hard that the Stormtrooper had defected. He could relate. They were both powerful men who still had to bow to superiors, trying to deflect blame for things that weren't their fault.

Perhaps Hux was feeling the same like he had when Snoke had punished him for the holocron? Hm, but Hux had already said that he didn't feel the same tension like Ren, what he was feeling was more something of a hollow sensation.

Ren wondered how that felt - not feeling his rage coiling under his skin, like an angry snake. It must be strange to feel so empty, cold and distant. And yet, at times he could feel that Hux was almost overwhelmed with emotions - mostly when they were in bed of course.

"Do you want me to take the edge off?" asked Kylo slowly. While speaking the words he could feel his own heart quicken the beat. There was something arousing about watching Hux's face when he proposed it. The quick succession from surprised - always surprised, even after all this time - to suspicion and then finally lust.

Hux put his tea on the counter of the kitchenette, and stepped closer to Ren, lifting his hand to his lips. "It's my turn to be in charge," he said as he brushed over his lips with his fingertips.

Hux ordered him to take his clothes off, he himself did the same but put his usual robe on. Kylo's dick was already half stiff but when he saw Hux going to the drawer he could feel himself getting harder.

What delicious surprise had Hux in store for him?

Hux took one of the middle-sized dildos and before he could say anything Kylo had turned around, lifting his ass up.

"You like this, don't you?" asked Hux in his clipped accent as he stroked over Kylo's butt. He slowly caressed Kylo's muscular tights, brushing his balls. His hands wandered up to his lower back, then he ran his fingertips over his hips back to his firm ass.

Kylo almost moaned in anticipation when Hux's hands reached the cleft and one of his fingers started to softly circle his tight hole, something cold and liquid was being trickled on it. The cool lube made him shudder, goose bumps covering his body.

The small drops continued and the pressure on his tight ring of muscles increased until finally, finally the finger dipped in. Kylo gasped, he had expected it, hoped for it and still it gave him this pleasant sensation.

Hux slowly worked his way in, adding another finger after a while. Suddenly the pace increased and he started to pump his finger in Kylo's hot hole, making him quietly moan. His cock was now throbbing and leaking precum.

The pace slowed again, making him grind against Hux's fingers. The fingers left after they had slowed down further.

Kylo glanced over his shoulder and saw that Hux was readying the dildo, he was panting too with a pink flush on his otherwise pale cheeks. He coated the toy with lube and stared Kylo straight in the eye as he let his hands glide over the dildo. His green eyes seemed brighter than usual, his usually immaculate hair was falling in stranding in his face. Stars, he was possibly the most handsome man he had ever seen. Delicate, but sharp and-

and every coherent thought was interrupted by the delicious sensation of him being stretched and filled when Hux finally pushed the dildo in Kylo's hole. When his most sensitive spot was grazed he groaned. Hux stopped and a few moments later he got used to the toy inside him.

"Sit up," said Hux in a low voice, betraying his arousal.

Kylo craned his neck to look at him once again. "What?"

"I want you to sit on it and look at me." Hux got up from the bed and let his eyes wander over him, panting slightly.

Kylo licked his lips as he tried to turn without the dildo slipping out. He clenched as well as he could but it escaped him halfway, falling on the bed. Kylo cursed under his breath and grabbed it, he sat down on the edge of the bed and lay back so that he could insert it again, it was slippery but he managed to push it back in inch by inch. Finally it was back and he sat up, feeling the pressure inside him.

Only now he realised that Hux hadn't been idle, he was sitting on the chair across from him and fingered himself, his own cock jutting as he rhythmically pumped in and out with slick fingers. The very sight made Kylo desperate with need.

"Come here, please," panted Kylo, "I need to-"

"I know," said Hux and got up. He gave Kylo a deep kiss and climbed on his lap. The extra weight pressed him down on the dildo, giving him a jolt. Finally Hux was ready and Kylo grabbed the base of his leaking cock and held it so that Hux could sit down.

He lowered himself down on his throbbing hard cock. They looked at each other, sweat running down their faces, mouths agape when he had taken him in his hot tight hole.

Kylo could feel the pressure, the slight stretch from the toy and felt full and warm. He thrusted cautiously into Hux, holding him in place with his hands and the Force. When he pulled back a little he felt the brush of the dildo against his prostate. "Kriff, this is so g-good," he moaned. "I don't know how long I can last."

Hux gave him a sloppy, hungry kiss and panted: "Then make it count."

Kylo grabbed his dick with the force and started to jerk him off as good as his focus allowed him, between him fucking Hux and the delightful stimulus in his ass it was almost impossible to keep his grip on the Force.

In the end he just thrusted into Hux, completely dazed by the ecstasy raging through his body. When he came his balls felt so tight that it almost hurt. He almost screamed when he felt the release, holding Hux tight until he came too from the last jerks with the Force.

After the shower they lay in bed. "What did you mean when you said that talking about what you experienced is like a 'chafing wound'?" asked Hux.

Kylo grimaced. "It resonates within me, this feeling from the Force signature - this feeling of being torn. It's uncomfortable to be reminded of it."

Hux propped himself up. "Is this about the people you have killed?"

"Yes," he admitted reluctantly. "I can't seem to get over it. It's frustrating." He thought about what Snoke had said - that he needed this Force-sensitive woman for his next step to become Darth Vaders successor. He looked at Hux, his handsome, cruel General… he was tempted to tell him but it felt like a bad time to bring it up.

Hux sighed. "You will get used to it."

"Did you get used to it?"

"Sometimes. There was this raid on some backwater Outer Rim planet… stars, sometimes I still dream about it. I mean I did what we had to do but after that I couldn't eat Pomegranate anymore."

"What happened?"

Hux cleared his voice. "We captured the leaders of the insurgents and they were brought before me on a market place. There was this married couple with their child, two women, both of them spit and cursed as soon as they saw me, raging in vain against their capture and their shock collars. The child - a girl, barely five years old - was with them crying." Hux grimaced. "The crying and the begging was nothing out of the ordinary, they should have thought about the consequences before they started to resist. It was clear that the leaders had to die in a public execution. So that's what I told them. The women went silent, glaring at me with defiance. I thought that it would be a waste to kill the girl too, she was still young enough to become a good Stormtrooper. I turned to my second-in-command and ordered her to grab the child, I believe I said something along the lines that she could be useful to us."

Hux paused shortly.

"Suddenly one of the women grabbed the girl and hissed 'She will never be yours' and then she snapped her own child's neck like a twig. There was this smell of Pomegranate in the air - it had been Pomegranate season I guess, there were crates full of them on the market place… Sometimes I think about the sound of her neck snapping, or the child's tear-filled eyes who suddenly went empty and still."

"Is that why you tell yourself fairy tales for grown-ups?"

Hux gulped. "Perhaps."
