The event was going quiet well he thought. The alcohol was flowing, and the hands were shaking. He talked to the assistant general and they had liked his prototype creation. Kylo himself had drank so much from the excitement of selling the deal. Finally, he got the head of US weapons to agree to test it. With that the champagne popped and the cigars came out. Felling a buzz and proud he looked around the room. He was looking for a prize for the night. Making out good on a deal made him a little horny. Most the women here tonight were married, old or just not his taste. He sighed, maybe not tonight. But then he saw her. She was part of the waitstaff, but she was the most beautiful girl in the room. Her dark brown hair held carefully in a sophisticated bun. Her white button up shirt just a tad see through, enough that he could tell she had a pink bra on. The pencil skirt hugged her behind in all the right place. Ren was sure she would throw herself at his feet knowing his status. His eyes followed her as she wove in and out of the crowd offering drinks, her smile was delightful, he wondered if it was fake and just for work.

Rey was smiling and doing her job when she felt eyes on her. She glanced in his direction for a minute to confirm it was him staring at her. It was not uncommon for the men at these events to eye her, she has been groped a few times. They were all the same rich, gross men who only thought with their penis. At least this one was cute, she thought. Still not the guy she would go for. She felt like dating was near impossible, online dating was ruining it.
Rey returned to the kitchen and asked her manager if she could have a break, all the cigar smoke was getting to her. He told her yes and which room was designated for staff to relax in for their 30 minute break. As she walked up the glass stairs to the upper level hall, she could again sense his eyes. She couldn't help but feel heat rise to her cheeks at the thought of someone so handsome paying attention to her. She counted the doors on her right and went in the 3rd door just like her manager said. But to her surprise she was in a bedroom. She would have backed out immediately if it wasn't for the beautiful Alma-Tadema Steinway piano on the other side of the room. She stared in shock at the rarest, most beautiful musical instrument. This was the piano of her dreams. She quickly glanced around the room to make sure no one was in there before slowly approaching it. the room was just as dark as the apartment. Black satin sheets, black walls, but with red and gray accents. Like a dark bachelor pad. Taking one last look around, Rey brushed her fingers over the keys. She felt electric, she wanted nothing more than to play, even to press one key. And so she did, the note resonated in her.
"Wonderful isn't it?"
Rey quickly turned around eyes wide to see Kylo standing by the door, glass in hand. Before she could apologize he spoke again. "Do you play?"
Rey simply nodded and glanced away from him to the piano.
He grinned at her as he walked over to a chair sitting across from the piano and sat down. "Why don't you go ahead and play something." He said it more as a demand and less of a question.
She swallowed nervously, "Im really sorry Mr. Ren, I didn't mean to come in here I just entered the wrong room and then I saw it…" she trailed off when she looked at his eyes.
His eyes were dark and brooding, he just sat there staring at her with a smirk. he motioned at the piano with his drink, "Please play. Whatever you like."
Rey knawed her lip as she sat down at the stool, she couldn't pass up the opportunity. She took a deep breath in before placing her fingers on the keys. The music that flowed was like magic.

Ren had followed her upstairs, he wanted to talk to her just see if maybe he could snag her for the night. When he saw her walk into his bedroom by mistake, he almost thought she was doing it on purpose. When she didn't come out he thought she might be snooping so he quietly snuck in. instead what he found was a beautiful woman standing in front of his mothers piano. His heart jumped when she pressed down on a key. He hadn't played it in years, almost forgot what it sounded like.
Now he was sitting across from her watching her play. It was almost erotic. Her eyes closed, lips parted, head tilting. She played with such passion, her chest rose and fell rapidly as the music accelerated, never missing a note. Who was this woman? He finished his drink and stood up, walking over to her. She was so lost in the music she didn't notice he was standing right behind her.
Once the song ended, she was breathless her fingers trembling. Kylo leaned down his lips close to her ear, "perfect."
This broke her trance and she bolted to her feet, turning to face him, her back pressed against the keys. "Thank you" she stammered
"what is your name?" he asked as he eyed her up and down.
"Rey." She slide to the side to put more space between them and she started walking to the door, "I should get back down there"
This irritated him, she wanted to get away from him. "wait," he called out. To his amusement she stopped back to him her hand on the door handle. "What do you think of what I do? no doubt you've overheard or seen me on the news?" he didn't know why he asked her or even cared.
She looked over her shoulder at him, "You told us to keep our opinions to ourselves if anyone asked." With that final witty remark, she was out the door, leaving him alone in his bedroom. Undoubtedly, he would be alone the rest of the night. Her answer was radiating stubbornness, he liked that.

When Rey returned to the kitchen, she was meet by Finn who grabbed her by the shoulders.
"What were you doing in there?! With him?!" Finn had the biggest shit eating grin.
Rey huffed and shook him off, "nothing he just asked me to play on his piano." Finn wiggled his eyebrows. "No! literally finn, nothing happened!" they laughed and went back to work.
The rest of the night went smoothly for her. Sometimes she would steal a glance in his direction, and he would steal one in hers. At the end of the night she left and finn walked her back to her apartment. He kept going on about everything they had overheard at the party, how cool the house was and how handsome Kylo was. From what she gathered he was a very powerful man, with enough money to get anything he wanted. Not that it mattered because she wouldn't be seeing him again unless he booked her staff again. As she was getting ready for bed that night she started imaging again. What it would be like to come home to such a beautiful place with that kind of view over central park. To have an Alma-Tadema Steinway piano. She could still feel his breath on her neck from before when she had finished playing. She couldn't lie to herself; it was flattering for a man like that to show interest in her.
