Ch 57

Rey

I was relieved, but I could sense that Ben was still uneasy over this whole thing. I tried to reach deep into his thoughts, but he was still somewhat guarded.

I know this whole thing is crazy and the chances of it working in our favor are slim… but I'm here for you and so is Lando… Worst case I saw a x-wing back there, we can take them and run off to the Unknown Regions! I told him with as much enthusiasm as I could muster up.

I saw from the corner of my eye that he was trying to stifle a laugh. He was totally okay with that idea.

Oh, trust me, I don't know if I want anyone getting in your way when you're upset… so let's try to keep our plan to run off between us.

I looked over at him and grabbed his hand, giving it a light squeeze.

"Finn told me you guys had this weird thing… where you could communicate in each other's minds. Is that what's happening right now?" he asked us. I blushed, slightly embarrassed.

"Yes… it's part of our dyad. Our connection is forged by the Force and we can communicate, access each other's thoughts and connect over incredibly vast distances, so far. We can also Force heal, but we have to limit that one, it's how I died on Exegol" said Ben. I cringed mentally when he mentioned himself dying for me, I always felt guilty over that.

You shouldn't, I did it because you are good, and pure and I love you.

I sent him a smile.

"Hmmm… we may not want to really disclose that to anyone just yet… there aren't many who were around at the same time as the Jedi, they'd be terrified and turn against you both. The only one anyone around here knew of was Luke, and after that it was Kylo.

Many have come to see the Jedi as something of an old legend, something to be feared" said Lando with a solemn look on his face.

How disappointing.

"Well is there anything you need from us Lando? Were at your disposition and anything you need, we know that trying to help us won't be easy" said Ben.

I nodded in agreement, "Ben's right, we don't want to cause trouble, if we need to leave and never be seen that's fine, if that's what the galaxy wants. We don't want to cause trouble and I will not allow Ben to be taken from me, whether it's to be locked up or killed. I'm not losing him again" I tried to put all my courage and determination into that statement.

It must have work because Lando gave me a look of shock and maybe admiration?

Definitely admiration, my mother was the only other woman with as much spunk as you he'd ever met.

WhateverI said with a laugh

"Well as long as you're on Malastare and under my jurisdiction, no one will dare cross either one of you. I've had them set up some quarters for you right next to me. Unfortunately, you will have guards on each side of your bunker until the trial is over, and you'll have escorts everywhere you go. Not that it'll do much good, you're both Force users and can easily get away."

"Uncle, we wouldn't do that. We owe you much for just trying to help us, we'll behave" said Ben in the friendliest and courteous voice I'd ever seen him use.

It brought an image to my mind of him being a politician or a prince…

"Very well, you may go, please if you need anything let me know. I will see you both in the morning"

And with that we got up and were escorted at once to our new quarters.

He definitely wasn't lying about having guards all around the bunker. There was about 8 of them from what I could make out, if we wanted to escape, it would be quite easy.

Once we were inside I was a little shocked. The quarters we got were as big as Landos. There was a large bed on one end and a door that led to a small fresher right next to it. On the opposite side of where the bed was there a fridge with a small stove and a counter next to it, a microwave sat on top. There was also a small dining table and a couple of chairs. On the wall next to us there was a couch and right in front of the bed there was a wooden dresser.

It was like a small apartment.

"If you need to go anywhere outside of here you have to let me know Rey, then I'll have to get it cleared I doubt you'll want to go anywhere, this planet sucks" said Poe from behind us. I nodded at him and he left, I heard the click on the lock from the outside.

So much for not being prisoners.

"Well it definitely could be worse my love. We could be separated like we were on that damned ship"

An idea popped into my head…

"Well how would you like to make use of this time together Mr. Solo?" I asked in a taunting tone. He looked over to me and as our eyes met I knew he sensed what I was thinking.

In almost no time I was in his arms and he carried me to the bed, bridal style.

He laid me down gently and our clothes were off at the speed of light.

I could never get tired of him. The way our bodies just seemed to meld into one another. The way him trailing kisses on every inch of my body made me feel as light as a feather.

We made love well into the night. Taking the time to learn each other's bodies. It seemed like there was always new to discover.

A new sensation, a new way to please each other. A new way of making him call my name in ecstasy.

He was like a drug to me, one I would die for and one I would most certainly kill for.
