Kylo Ren's P.O.V.

Entering my room, I find Anakia passed out in our bed with a nightgown on. She's under the covers on her unspoken side of the bed. I had found Snips sleeping on her bed in the den, the one Anakia bought her the day before. She must have put it there earlier today. I'm back rather later than I expected because of the meeting with Snoke and setting up the First Order's next attack on the rebellion. I wasn't expecting to do so much in one day, but I should have assumed I would after being away for days.

I had informed Snoke that Anakia submitted to training, but as my apprentice, not his. He didn't seem too please to know she still refused to see him or join him but settled with the notation she wanted to be trained by me. He gave me a rebuilt double sided light saber for her to use, suggesting it will serve her better than its last Master. I found he was all to please to give me this token of weapon for her but I assumed he's just happy she's not refusing me any longer. After our conversation about her, we discussed plans for our next steps to finding the map leading to Luke. Which led me to explain and instruct our eventual plans to the First Order. After everything said and done, I eventually arrived back at my room just a quarter before midnight.

I watch Anakia sleeping with her hair sprawled on her pillow as I change into something casual. My mind wonders if she had waited for me with nothing on until she decided overtime it wasn't worth waiting any longer. The sense of regret of not coming back sooner swarms my mind, and it only reminds me of what Snoke had told me in the meeting. Anakia is not to tempt you with the light, but to remind you to finish what your grandfather started and to do what he could not. I feel so much responsibility on my shoulders to live up to my grandfather, but I find the biggest one laying on my bed at the moment.

Pulling the covers down, I slide into my side of the bed and turn out the lights. I shuffle until I lay right behind her and wrap an arm around her waist to pull her closer to me. Her warmth comforts me, along with her soft, relaxed breaths. She seems to be in a deep sleep and for a moment I wish I never left her this afternoon. If I never left, I wouldn't feel my mind spinning with resentment and detest that Snoke brought out of me tonight. My emotions aren't allowing me to just drift into slumber because of it. So instead of trying to fall sleep, I search into Anakia's mind to see what has her in this heavy sleep.

"I wish we did this every day, Ben... I'd come to this spot with you every day if we could." Anakia blurts out with her eyes closed, her head is facing up toward the sun. She's smiling as the light soaks into her skin, speaking up again to me; she sighs, "This has to be my favorite spot. This spot by the lake... Only we know of... It's gorgeous, don't you think?"

"It is, Ani." I smile genuinely at her and play with the ribbon on her dress laying on my back. We're on top of a blanket with a basket of food by our feet. Her shoes are tossed to the side and her hair is in wild curls with a small bun in the center of the back of her head. She's wearing a light pink dress, it comes to her feet. It's thin material and has dark glimmering ribbon in many places. I'm in a white shirt, brown pants and a black vest that matches my shoes. Our light sabers lean on the basket as we admire the view. Anakia's staring at the lake and I watch her. I have an arm behind my head and she leans back with her arms propped up behind her. Turning her head, she looks down at me grinning, "I want to live by a lake after we're knighted as a Jedi Master... This lake, if I could."

"I could do that." I suggest and shine a small smirk up at her. I sense her mind grow puzzle for a second and I interpret my words just above a whisper, "I could build you a house beside this lake."

"You know nothing about building a house, Ben." Anakia giggles and shoves her foot against my leg, playfully teasing. Looking back out to the lake, she whispers as if she's talking to herself, "I'd help you built it if you ever did."

"My father would help us too..." I mention, twirling her ribbon through my fingers. Anakia smile brightens as she stares at a spot beyond the lake. We're quiet for a moment, just taking in the lake's peacefulness after a day of training. Our muscles are sore but we're too content to notice. Anakia stands up suddenly and walks towards the lake, waving her hands around while thinking out loud, "I can see it now, Ben. You, Chewy, and Han helping me build a house right there... Leia would help me design the inside and Luke would map it out. It wouldn't have to be big, just enough for us to live in it."

"Us?" I chuckle out and she turns her head away from the spot she's imagining her home. Tilting her head and smiling embarrassedly, Anakia answers, "Well, of course. Where else would you live? Don't tell me you see yourself still in your hut after all's finished."

"Well," I speak up a little surprise that it never accord to me on where I would live once I became a Jedi, "No..."

"Then where do you see yourself once we're done training?" Anakia asks in a sincere tone and plops down on the blanket in front of me. I pull myself up to sit up straight and look at her with hands in my lap. I glance around the lake before catching her eyes. Her eyes watch over me patiently for my answer. I can tell she actually wants to know now. Holding back a smile, I move one of her curls behind her shoulder and answer honestly, "I see myself with you."

"Then that settles it." Anakia sighs and lays down beside me, staring up at the blue sky, "You'll live with me and we'll protect the galaxy alongside Luke and Leia... And... We'll be..."

I sense her stirring awake as my hand moving against her abdomen holds her tighter than before. Her dream had almost made me fall asleep with her. It was an old memory of us back on Yavin 4. When we only worried we'll be late to training and dinner with Leia. I know how it ends too, and it only tempts me to dream of it myself. Placing a kiss on Anakia's back to keep her from becoming startled by me as she awakens. She sighs tiredly, and her toes move to brush down my legs. Leaning her back into my chest, Anakia rubs her hand over my arm, holding her as she whispers in the dark, "Is everything alright?"

"Yes." I mutter behind her and catch myself wishing she couldn't sense my feelings with the force. She hums quietly and turns around in my arm, lifting a leg around my waist. She speaks up in the night silence with her eyes closed. "You're back late..."

"I know... I had to..." I stop myself explaining to her why, because I know it's too late to do so. It used to be a habit we'd do on Yavin 4, talk about our day before going to bed. I know I can't revert to old habits, but it's becoming easier with Ani. Everything about her seems easy to me. Watching her curl into my chest sleepily, I relax better for her to melt into my body. When I haven't continued my sentence, I notice Ani frowning with closed eyes before drawing her head up towards mine. I see her eyes flutter open and I immediately sense her going to pester about my lack of words. Not wanting her to dwell on what I was going to say, I drop my head down to catch her lips.

Her eyes shut again and kiss me back without hesitation, as if it's drawing her back to sleep again. Kissing her slowly and attentively, my hand around her waist slides under her nightgown to rub up and down her back. Her leg around my waist draws me in tightly as she sighs in satisfaction from having me back. Tonight's events leave my mind and fill with the sensation of Anakia's dream as well as her beside me. I find myself relax more than I knew I could as her hand runs down my chest before holding my forearm. She nudges my forearm purposely encouragingly and with the same arm I raise my hand to the back of her neck to hold her head closer to mine. Deepening the kiss, I lean over to lay her on her back and hover over her. My opposite hand pushes her dress up to be bunched around her waist before settling my lower half onto hers.

"Are you sure..." Ani mumbles between kisses, "Everything... Went well..." Her voice wavers as my lips make a trail down her neck, "This evening?"

She can sense I'm trying to distract myself from tonight's events by attending to her. I don't answer right way, instead; I keep my focus on her skin. Pecking and licking around the edge of her nightgown. I finally feel no need to discuss what's happened today. Only what could happen right now. With the hand on her waist, I raise it to push down her nightgown covering her chest. Her perky nipples become exposed to the cold room, and I lower my head to take one in my mouth. I instantly hear her breath catching and sense her become completely awake now. My hand massage her other breast, teasing her pointed nub. Her hips roll into mine involuntarily and I sigh, pleased at how her body reacts to me. My hand behind her neck goes down to grab the back of her nightgown wrapped around her waist and put it down past her thighs. Tugging her nipple with my teeth, I pull back slightly to get her dress off her legs fully. I toss it to the floor beside the bed before lowering myself back onto her.

"Kylo, did something go wrong?" She blurts out when I still haven't answered her, as if she knows now I'm deliberately trying not to answer. Grabbing her thighs, I wrap her legs back around me and kiss her determinedly to have her forget to pry into what had me gone all evening. I sense her heart pound faster, and I intentionally press myself between her legs. Prying her lips open, I draw my tongue into her mouth, swallowing her moan. Her hands touch my shoulders before sliding down to my chest firmly. Just by her action, I recognize she's going to stop what I started. She always does because she wants to pry into something I don't want to get pried into. Before she can attempt to push me back, I have my hands grip upper thighs possessively. I pressure my hands into her thighs and a rush of pleasure comes through my fingers and into her thighs that swarm to her core.

"Wh-" Anakia's head falls back onto her pillow and groans out uncontrollably. Instinctually she grips my waist harsher with her thighs as her hand goes to grab my arms for something to hold. Kissing her neck curled up toward me, I move my thumbs higher on her thighs and put the same electrifying pleasure into her skin. Gasping for air, Anakia bucks her waist into mine, whining out in a messy sentence, "How- Kylo... Are you- What are you-"

"You're not the only one in the room who's mastered the force, Angel." I purr against her neck before nipping at her collarbone proudly, "I just know how to put it to better use than you." Taking a chance, I skim a hand up and graze her folds. I find her drenched, dripping even, and I groan against her chest, trying to hold myself together, "God, Ani... You're absolutely perfect for me."

"Kylo..." She shudders as she tries to close her thighs from my hand, but it only causes to draw me close. Pressing my thumb into her center, I send another wave of pleasure through her and she whines out with her back to curl up to me. Her hands push at my arm and chest without thought as she begs, trying not to be overcome by her own lust. "Ben, no more. Please."

Kissing the center of her chest, I listen to her plead and force my hand away from her pelvis. Having to distract my hand from touching her there again, I run it into her hair and kiss her lips meaningfully. She hums into my lips and opens her mouth enough for my liking. Her hand comes to my neck approvingly and draws my chest onto hers. Tasting her fruity mint mouth, I pry her lips wider and lean into her more, making her head sink into her pillow. One of her hands pets down my arm, feeling every muscle as she relishes in her sensation. When my lips pull back to breathe, Anakia lets out, trying to catch her own breath, "That bad, huh?"

"I wish not to discuss it, Angel." I mumble into her skin and lean my forehead onto hers. There's a second of silence before I speak up again. I don't know what else to say, but it's the only thing I can think of. "I just want to be with you."

"Okay..."

Anakia whispers and she almost sounds touched by my words. Gently bringing me back down to lie on my back again, she snuggles into my side. Her hand goes around my chest and her leg wraps around my waist. Her front blends into my side. Letting a sigh pass my lips, I ghost my hand up her bare back as it's soothing my. My other one settles on her waist, and I close my eyes. I feel her head rest on my chest and my hand roams her naked body. My body becomes tired without having her pressure me to talk about this evening or without attending to her body. Laying there, my soul settles and I feel at peace as I was in her dream. I sense her heartbeat slowing down as her tiredness grows in her mind. My mind rests same as hers and the last thing on my mind before falling asleep is her dream.

Not the First Order's plans, not Snoke's sharp words, and not even Anakia's tempting body. The last thing I think of is Anakia and I by the lake. Reliving all the memories we shared there growing up and picturing the future we planned on having there together. A home we we're supposed to build together, somewhere only we know.
