"This is amazing, don't you think?"

It's been over two days since I had last seen Kylo, I had spent the days relaxing by the pool or in the beach and my nights at the clubs. But I still hadn't found any of the force users, but they were in this city. I could feel it. It didn't help that Kylo wasn't here to help me whatsoever, General Hux had called him away which left the Knights to babysit me. His kiss goodbye was still fresh in my mind. Bringing my hand to my lips, I could still feel his own against mine. He was making me feel things that I shouldn't be feeling. Making me attached to him. Just like our grandfather's. Kylo, just as reckless as his grandfather and I, just as patient as my own.

"I don't think Lord Ren will be too happy with his toy dressed like that for anybody to see" Kuruk stated from somewhere to my left, rolling my eyes I lifted my head up from the lounge chair and glanced over to the blonde haired man with light green eyes as he was dressed in lounge pants and a button up shirt that showed his muscles

"I could care less about what he wants as I am the one who is doing all the hard work on this assignment, and last I had checked he is nowhere to be found" Standing from the lounge chair, I walked over to the bar and ordered a fruit smoothie as I had been relaxing by the pool all day. "You guys should relax once in a while, just loosen up a bit" Leaning against the bar, I drank my smoothie as Ushar walked over to the bar and ordered himself a drink

It was even a weirder sight to see some of the most feared creatures draped in black robes wielding deadly weapons, dressed in normal clothing and going about their day doing domestic things such as drinking a fruit smoothie, playing in the pool, or even making a sandcastle. These psychotic bastards were human and I had to remind myself that before they became the Knights of Ren that they had lives before this. Before taking up arms and having a sole purpose to serve their master. I wonder what kind of people they would be had they chosen a different plan. They are force sensitive, so they could have become padawans and then Jedi Masters under Luke Skywalker's guidance.

"It is our mission to protect you Mistress, while Lord Ren is away" Was all he said as he threw credits onto the counter of the bar

"Speaking of missions, we should get back to the room and get ready" I noticed that it was already growing dark as the sky was painted with pinks and oranges as the large city of Canto Bight was beginning to wake up.

"Grab my things, will you Kuruk?" He looked annoyed as he glared at me, smirking I finished off my smoothie before he threw his shirt at my face

"Cover up, I'm not facing the wrath of our leader because you want to walk around practically naked" He sniped as he began to pick my things up

"It's a bikini," Was all I said before I put the article of clothing on as I didn't want Kylo to hurt them for my disobedience. Prick. "It's my body anyway,"

"The mark on your neck begs to differ Mistress" Ushar stated as we began making our way inside of the resort with Kuruk and Ap'lek walking behind us "Lord Ren has claimed you as his and that makes you his possession"

Snorting I rolled my eyes as we entered the elevator "I never gave him my consent to do such a thing," The doors closed "He can take his mark and shove it"

"It doesn't matter as you will become Lady Ren, you made a blood vow to him giving yourself up to him"

The title of Lady Ren, I forgot about it.

Stepping into the loud casino with Ushar in one arm and Ap'lek on the other dressed in a violet sweetheart sequined mermaid styled gown with black stiletto heels. Everybody stopped to stare, smiling both men walked me down the steps as everybody began whispering. Taking a deep breath through my nose, I relaxed as I slowly let my force signature out as we made our way towards the bar.

"What can I get for you Miss?"

"Linora" Taking my seat at the bar, I gave a subtle nod to both knights as they disappeared into the crowd where Kuruk was already at a table gambling. "My name is Miss Linora and I'd like the most expensive champagne you have" The bartender smiled as he disappeared into the back

"Would you like me to open you a tab, Miss Linora?" He came back with a bottle as he set a flute glass in front of me

"That would be great"

After I had finished my first glass of champagne was when I felt it. A disturbance in the force. Glancing around the large room of the casino, I caught Ushar's eyes. Nodding to him, he nodded back before leaving to inform the other two. Crossing my leg over the other, I turned back to the bar as I wondered how long it would be before they realized another force user was on this planet and in this very casino. Picking up my glass of champagne as well as the bottle, I slid off the bar stool and made my way towards the source of the force user.

"Mistress, let me carry this for you" It was Ushar who stood to my side taking the bottle from me, "Do you wish to gamble tonight?"

"I'm bad at card games, I'd just be throwing away my credits"

"But it is Lord Ren's credits that you have been spending since we arrived"

Oh….well this ought to be fun.

"Yes, I would like to play a quick hand of cards" Leading me towards the gambling tables, I took my seat at a table with only two others "Deal me in please" Throwing credits into the table, I flashed the host a smile as he dealt me the cards quickly.

Picking up the cards I was dealt, I felt the force user come closer to me. Their signature was brushing up against mine with purpose. They were testing me, trying to gauge a reaction out of me. Well, they will be sorely disappointed as I refuse to give them one. Chucking credits into the pile, I downed the rest of my drink as Ushar refilled it. His posture was tensed as he felt it too. The force user was growing closer to me, glancing at the man beside me. He gave me a subtle nod.

"Will you raise Miss?"

"Yes I would," Smiling at the other two people I watched as they set their cards down onto the table as they refused to meet my ante causing them to show me their cards "I win" A flush beats a three of a kind and two pairs.

"Deal me in as well" Keeping my gaze straight forward on the host, I ignored how the man was pulling on my signature.

For the next hour as we sat at the table, he stared at me as he tried getting me to react to him. Ushar was tense as he had masked his own signature from the mysterious man, as it would be suspicious for two force users to be together in the same city and the same casino. A crowd had gathered around the table as I was on a winning streak only because I used the force to read their emotions.

"You win again Miss"

"Would you join me at the bar for a drink?"

Kriff, he's persistent

"Sure, why not?" Collecting my winnings I placed them in my purse before handing it back to Ushar, turning to the man with slicked back black hair, a charming smile, and mischievous green eyes. I took the hand he offered me and flashed him a coy smile as he led me towards the bar.

"So what brings a gorgeous thing like you here?" He asked as he paged the bartender and ordered two pink martinis "Business or pleasure?"

"Pleasure"

"Are you unattached?"

"Yes, I am"

"Is that so?" He leaned in closely to me, keeping the smile on my face I hid the disgust that I felt by taking a sip of my drink

"Yes, relationships are bit of a nuisance in my opinion as I have more important things to tend to"

Lies. Every word that slipped past my lips were complete lies and yet they were easy to say as they were facts. I signed my soul away to The Order and part of the deal was the unspoken rule of no attachments, no sentiments, no relationships. Yet the thought of a relationship had me thinking back to Kylo kriffing Ren.

"Let's cut the pleasantries and talk about the real subject at hand?" He murmured as his gaze wandered over the loud casino and its occupants before landing on me

"Oh?"

"You're a force user just like I am" This man is either really stupid or really smart to admit this truth out loud where anybody could easily overhear us and cause a panic

"You're not as dumb as you look" Taking a sip of my drink I let out a exaggerated sigh "Pity, I was hoping you were, that way I would have some form of entertainment to keep me occupied for the night"

"The night is still young and there are plenty of other ways to keep one such as yourself entertained" The way he had said it suggested a hidden agenda that either meant sex or joining his little gang. Either way I needed to spend more time with him to gain more information on him and the organization he worked for.

"Do tell me then"

"Mistress, you are needed back at the hotel as the Lord has returned" Ushar leaned over and murmured into my ear giving the man in front of me a slow once over

"I'm afraid that I have other matters to attend to Mr…?"

"My name is Skyjuli Derrpol," He paused "But you can call me Sky."

"I'll see you around then Mr. Derrpol" He barked out a laugh as he set his glass down

"Would you like to join me tomorrow night for dinner before the races?"

"The pod races or the Fathiers race?"

"Why don't you choose?"

"The Fathiers,"

"Where should I pick you up?" Offering my hand to Ushar, he helped me off the barstool

"I'll meet you at Kal'ani's at seven?"

"It's a date then,"

Once we disappeared into the crowd, Ap'lek and Kuruk immediately joined my sides as Ushar navigated our way out before we stepped out of the stuffy casino and into the busy streets of Canto Bight. Where a speeder was already waiting for us, climbing in I rested in my seat as I kicked off my heels.

"I'd say that was successful don't you think?"

"I could smell the desperation off of that pompous ass from the other side of the casino"

Ushar's comment caused Kuruk and Ap'lek to go into a fit of laughter as they began talking about the several ways they could torture the man and have him on his knees begging for his life only to torture him further by driving him into insanity and then release him before they finally kill him. The Psychotic bastards of Ren. Yet I found myself not caring if they chose to act on their whims as long as they did it after I completed my mission as I didn't care much about the man's life. After twenty minutes and my heels in hand, we stepped out of the elevator and walked towards the suite. Before I could put the code in the door flew open and stood Vicrul dressed in his black robes.

"I must warn you that Lord Ren is in a rather foul mood since he returned," Stepping further inside the suite I searched for him "He left as he still has matters to attend to but he said that he would be back in a couple of hours"

"I'm retiring for the night then as I'm exhausted and would like some rest, please wake me when Kylo returns as I wish to update him" Vicrul nodded "Goodnight everybody," They all murmured similar pleasantries before I dropped my heels onto the floor with a soft groan as I leaned against the closed door. Letting out a pleasured moan at the sight of my inviting bed, I knew that I had to change out of this blasted dress before I could truly be comfortable.
