Chapter 26: Pears

The sun is shinning through the windows and balcony. I'm laying on my stomach still naked. The blanket just covering my lower back and down. I smile, I really did that last night? Ahh, my body is soar. I can't deny anymore how much I need him in my life. I roll over and pull the blanket up and wrap it around me, slipping out of bed. I walk over to the balcony and enjoy the sun touching my skin. I look down to the water bellow, splashing catches my attention. Kylo is swimming in the lake, his movement angelic. He stops, looks up at me, and raises a eyebrow.

'Come down here'

I can't swim, I frown down at him. From here I can feel the coolness of the water against his skin. All my senses heightened it seems like. I lean my head to the side and pull the blanket around me tighter, I'm still completely naked. I can't take my eyes off him.

'Do you want to learn?'

Last time I was in there I almost drowned. No thanks. Last time I was in the lake he tried killing me. He smiles and disappears under the water. My eyes search for where he is going to pop up, but he doesn't. I wait for a few minutes, at one point leaning over the railing to get a closer look. It's crazy how I can feel him so much deeper now. His heart doesn't just echo is my head, I feel it beating with mine. Two hearts, one soul. He still doesn't come up.

From behind me the door opens and I jump. He's standing in the doorway with a towel draped around his hips, water glistening off his skin and damp hair. He leans against the door frame. My eyes scan his physic, he is a marvel to look at. "You look just like you did in your dream. So much color in your cheeks." He says and then smiles. I pull the blanket tighter, embarrassed I'm still naked. He walks over to me, I'm still standing on the balcony. It's only big enough for two to stand on, his fingers trail along my jaw. I close my eyes, part my lips, and lean into his touch. "What I would do to take away this fear of being loved." He says, I can't tell if he's talking to me or himself. I open my eyes, his eyes just looking at me. Warm. His hand slides down my neck, over my shoulder and stops at the top of the blanket, that's pulled around my arms tight just about my breasts leaving my collarbone, shoulders, and neck exposed. "You are so beautiful, I am undeserving of you." He reminds me of a sad little boy. "Get dressed, you need to eat. Pick anything from the wardrobe. It's just me here." He plants a soft kiss on my cheek and leaves the room. Intoxicating me. How can this monster be so gentle.

In the wardrobe is a variety of outfits of all colors and styles. Some very elegant and some very romantic. I settle on a navy blue mid thigh length silk dress, with thin straps. I take a fast shower and get dressed. The fabric brushing against my skin, it's so soft and silky. I leave my hair down to not feel so exposed. I tiptoe down the stairs, being as light as a feather. Kylo is out on the balcony in only the pants I love. Before joining him I grab a pear off the long glass table and take a bite. When he sees me his eyes look about my body, soaking up how I must look. I still feel so exposed. Behind him I see his ship in the distance, just the tips stick out above the tree line. He carried me a long way.

His smile is so childish, but he's relaxed. I walk over next to him, his hand traces down the curve of my side and over my hip, before he squeezes lightly and let's go. His eyes dart to mine. "Do you feel different?" He looks worried now.

"I feel like my senses are stronger. I can't explain it, but I feel your heart beating with mine." His face softens. "Do you... feel... different." I don't know if he talking about letting him take my virginity or our bond.

"My side of the bond has always been stronger because I'm stronger but now," he looks over the water, "now I feel everything. This changes things."

"How?" I ask. Obviously it changes things.

"You are my number one responsibility. If something happens to you..." He closes his eyes and pinches the bridge of his nose. "You need to be more careful for now on. We are going to start training again right away."

"Are you afraid Snoke is going to know what we have done?" I'm worried about him the most.

"He doesn't know about this place so we are safe here. Only here can we be this. When we are back on the destroyer you will refer to me as Master and nothing else. You MUST obey me at all times, no more escape attempts. The new general makes General Huxs look like a saint." This makes my stomach knot, thinking about General Hux and the King. I turn my head away in shame that I allowed that to happen. But he is right, when I'm scared I can't protect myself.

His fingers touch my jaw and force me to look at him, "There is nothing to be ashamed about."

"Can you really look me in the face and tell me everything is going to be okay?" I ask. My eyes pleading with him. I still feel so vulnerable around the First Order, and if I refuse to fight with Kylo, how is he going to stop Snoke from killing me when he finds out who we are, what we have done.

"I got it under control. But you must follow my orders. The Supreme Leader expects you to be by my side fully when we arrive back. Having you next to me at all times will be very... distracting." His fingers trail down my arm giving me goosebumps. "You must stay covered up there." He says with a crooked smile.

"That's not hard, it's zero degrees in that place." He lets out a chuckle at my response.

"How about we begin with something small." He wants to start right now? He takes the pear from my hand and holds it in his palm, hand flat. It begins to rise off his hand and spin. I love watching him do that. With his other hand he takes my hand and holds it out flat in his, his fingers grazing the skin on my wrists. He lets takes a deep breath and his eyes look into mine with desire. Heat pooling between my thighs. "Just think... light as air. That the pear is nothing in your hand. You have to will the force to do what you want it to." Its so hard to concentrate when we are so close, skin touching skin.

'Trust me'

I do. He shifts his body so he's leaning against the railing, he takes his hand away from mine but motions for me to keep it there. He takes his free hand, the other one still spinning the pear, and he finds the small of my back and pulls me closer to him. Desire bubbles to the surface of my insides. He's leaning back slightly to allow a gap between our chests. My hand still in place, as if balancing a imaginary tray of food.

'Call it to you'

I look at his hand with the pear, he moves his hand in between us, the gap big enough just to fit his hand. I focus on the pear, moving my hand closer to his. I call to it, in my head, to come to my hand. And to my surprise it slowly moves into my hand, startling me and it falls into my palm. I look right up at Kylo. "Your a good teacher."

"It's easy to teach someone who is willing to learn." He smiles. He takes the pear from my hand and sets it next to him on the railing. "Right now all I can think about is getting that dress off you." He shuffles his feet and swoops me up into his arms, I squeal like a little kid. He starts walking towards the stairs, I want him as close to me as I can get while we are here. In this moment I realize I would do anything for this man, and he would for me.
