I said I would post this tomorrow, but hey, I couldn't help myself! I hope you like it!

Chapter 4

Kylo couldn't get his mind off of Rey as he was making his way to his room. He knew he had to persuade her to let him train her someway, but how? As Snoke said, she is very stubborn, and she won't give in without a fight. He could just mind-trick her into letting him train her, but if she could resist him before, she could do it again. He didn't want to give her another reason to be upset with him. He is supposed to gain her trust, after all.

As he entered his room, and removed his helmet, gloves, robes, boots, and shirt, he flopped down on the bed. Immediately, his mind drifted to the girl. Her beauty clouded his mind as he thought of the moment he first saw her, up until her tear-streaked face when he was treating her wounds. Force, she was beautiful. If he had it his way, he would march into her room and devour her lips, and then spend the night in her bed, waking her up with light kisses. She never left his mind as he drifted off to sleep.

He breathed in the scent of her hair, which tickled his nose. She was laying almost on top of him, with her face shoved into the crook of his neck. His hand ran up and down her bare back, until it came to rest on her hip. His other hand was entwined with hers, resting on his stomach. Her breathing was slow, and he focused on listening to her consecutive heartbeats. It calmed him.

She stirred as her eyes fluttered open. Kylo found the tired look on her face adorable. He leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to her lips as she smiled.

"Hmm, good morning" she purred.

"Good morning beautiful" he returned, smiling down at her. She lifted her chin up so she could kiss him again. The kiss was more passionate than the first one. Rey turned so she was completely on top of him, straddling his hips, never once breaking the kiss. Their tongues battled, each of them wanting to overpower the other. Kylo flipped them over so he was on top, breaking the kiss. He stared down at her with a smile on his face. She blushed, her face turning a shade of red that made Kylo grin like a madman. He kissed her once more, and lined himself up with her entrance.

Kylo jerked awake, breathing heavily. That dream was... odd. Why would he have such a dream? This doesn't make sense. I don't really have feelings for her, do I? I've known her for 2 days! He looked at the clock, it was morning. He heaved himself out of bed and walked straight for the shower, turning the water on cold. He stripped himself of his pants and boxers and hopped in. He had to get rid of his little problem.

Rey's eyes slowly opened as she adjusted to her surroundings. She was convinced that she had just experienced the best sleep of her life. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud. She sat up, stretched her limbs, and looked around the room. She hadn't really had a chance to look too hard, for she had been exhausted the night before. She was covered by a dark red blanket, on top of dark grey sheets. The carpet was black and fluffy, stretching to each of the metal walls. She swung her legs over the side of the bed and stood up, making her way to the bookshelf. All of the books were about the Empire, the Force, the Dark Side or the First Order. There were history books, stories, and other novels. She picked up a book, called How to Meditate Using the Force. She remembered Kylo making a comment about the Force yesterday. Did she have it? Was she so-called Force sensitive?

She was about half way through the book when the doors opened and a droid wheeled itself in. It was carrying a tray of food, which it set down on her bedside table. As quick as the droid came in, it left, and Rey was alone once again. The smile that came onto her face when the droid entered left quickly. This is what it's like to be a prisoner. Always alone. At least I'm used to it.

Rey walked over to her tray of food and brought it to the desk. She sat down and admired what was given to her. There was a bowl filled to the brim with colorful fruits chopped into different shapes. Rey put a yellow one on her tongue and bit down, making her mouth flood with a delicious juice. There was also many pieces of bread, eggs, and some type of meat that Rey was unfamiliar with. She devoured her food, since she hadn't eaten in days.

After eating, Rey set the tray aside and picked up the book again. She didn't get more than a few pages in before the doors to her room hissed open and Kylo walked in. Rey stood up from her desk and faced him. Kylo took his helmet off and set it on the desk. He noticed her tight pants, and his thoughts immediately went to the dream he had the night before. His blood rushed south. Calm yourself. If you keep thinking about it, you're going to act on it. Just focus on what you came here to do. Rey felt his eyes on her body, and tried to tug her t-shirt down, with no success.

Kylo cleared his throat. "I've come to speak with you"

Rey crossed her arms over her chest "About?"

"I want to train you in the Force. Teach you about the Dark Side and-"

"No" she said immediately. She had no interest in being involved with the First Order or this so called "Dark Side."

"I figured you'd say that," he said, while pulling something out of his robe. It had a rectangle frame with a piece of smaller glass in the same shape in the middle. Kylo pushed a button on the side and the glass lit up, showing a map. Rey hated to admit, but she was interested. "Do you know what this map is of?" Kylo asked her.

Rey shook her head no, not tearing her eyes off of the screen.

"This is a map of D'Qar. Or in other words, where the Resistance base is located."

"And you're showing me this, why?" Rey asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Oh, did I forget to mention that your friends are there? You know, the traitor, FN-2187, the Wookiee, and...Han Solo" Kylo spat.

Rey looked into his eyes in fear. It all clicked. He had the power to attack them. Blow up the base, the planet. Kill all of her friends. "You wouldn't"

"You and I both know I would. But I won't, if you let me teach you." Kylo said with a hint of a smile forming on his lips.

Rey knew he wasn't bluffing. She knew what he was capable of. She had no doubt that he would kill them all. "I'll do it" she said with clenched teeth.

Kylo smiled then. "I knew you'd come around"

Rey hated him. She did. But when he smiled, her stomach fluttered. She looked up at his face and saw him staring at her. "Your training will begin tomorrow. I'll have the droids deliver you some more clothes. Be ready at 9." He said, while putting his helmet back on. "Don't be late." His mechanic voice said. He turned around and left the room, closing the doors behind him.

Once Rey was sure he was gone and wasn't coming back, she curled up on her bed and let herself cry. She cried for her friends, she cried for herself, and she even cried for Kylo Ren, because she didn't know how he came to be like this, but she was sure it wasn't good. She cried until she couldn't cry anymore.

Kylo felt it. He felt all of her pain. She was crying, because of him, and he didn't like it one bit. It needed to stop. He needed her to stop. He set off for her room again for the second time that day, and it was only lunch time.

When Kylo entered her room, she was curled up on her bed, asleep. He walked around the bed so he could look at her face. Well, it's still beautiful, he thought. He pulled up a chair next to her bed and sat there, staring at her. He memorized the shape of her lips, nose, and tear-stained cheeks. He couldn't look away. He focused on her slow breathing, her heartbeat. He didn't know how long he was sitting there by the time she started to wake. Her eyes fluttered open. At first they were tired and calm, but then her face contorted into confusion. I must look like a creep sitting here staring at her. They continued to stare at each other. Rey was too afraid and shocked to move. Say something you idiot! Kylo thought to himself.

"I... I was waiting for you to wake up. I have something I want you to see."

Rey slowly got up and stretched. Kylo stood up too. "Come with me"

Rey followed behind him as they walked through the hallways. Once again she thought, How does he memorize all of this? How does he know where he's going? Rey noticed that they kept passing ships, but not just any ships. They all looked worn and run down, and some of them looked like they had gotten blasted one too many times.

Kylo stopped in front of an old tie fighter that had definitely seen better days. "When I, um, went through your memories, I noticed that you like to fix and work on things. Ships and droids, to be specific. I thought that since you agreed to let me train you, I'd let you work on this." Kylo's mechanical voice spoke. To say that Rey was surprised would be an understatement. Is he being nice? To me?

He pointed to a cart near the wall, "Any tool that you could possible need are over there. I'll check up on you in a couple of hours" he said before he turned to walk away. He didn't get more than 5 steps before he turned around.

"Oh, and Rey? Before you get any ideas, I will get two stormtroopers to watch over you." And with that, he left the area.

Don't get her wrong, Rey was very excited about this, but she was even more ecstatic about the fact that Kylo said her name. It felt good hearing it come out of his mouth. Wait, what? The smile she didn't know was on her face widened when she turned around to look at the ship. She walked over to the tool cart, grabbed a few wrenches, and got to work.

When Kylo returned, the only think he saw were Rey's legs sticking out from under the ship. He smiled to himself, glad that he had his mask on so no one could see. Rey heard his footsteps coming so she scooted out from underneath. When she was about to heave herself off the floor, Kylo reached out a hand for her. She tentatively grabbed it and let him pull her up.

Once on her feet, she gave him a grateful smile. Kylo was pretty sure his head would explode because if he thought sleeping Rey was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen, he was wrong. Smiling Rey was definitely better.

"I should return you to your room" said Kylo. He really didn't want to. He wanted to lead her to his room. Rey nodded and followed him out. Usually, Kylo would walk briskly, with Rey following behind him like a child. But this time, Rey noticed that he seemed to walk a little slower, allowing them to walk more side by side. She liked it a lot better than staring at his back all of the time. Whenever they turned a corner, he would place his hand on the small of her back to guide her. Those little touches had Rey's stomach doing cartwheels.

When the two returned to her room, Rey didn't want him to leave. She hadn't really gotten to talk to him, personally, and she wanted to. She could see that Kylo Ren wasn't all that bad. He had a compassionate side. Before she could say anything, he spoke. "Don't forget, 9 am. Goodnight, Rey." And with that, Kylo left her alone.

There was her name again, the second time he's spoken it. She smiled to herself. Don't go, she thought.

As Kylo was returning to his room, he heard those two faint words in the back of his head. Trust me, I don't want to.

Well, what do you think? We definitely see more of Kylo's softer side in this, especially in that dream;) Next chapter will be up on Monday for sure!
