The day had been absolute hell for Kylo ren. He would rather the news bash him all day for the stolen transport than this. Turns out his assistant, that he had known for years, went behind his back. He valued loyal employees, turns out she wasn't one of them. She knew his schedule; he knew where Rey lived. She had followed them. how did he not notice that? All his military history and he couldn't tell someone was following them? He was so distracted by Rey. His assistant said she did it to save his name. what a load of shit. His name has been dragged through worse and he still came out on top. She received a large payment for that picture. He felt like he couldn't trust anyone now. Except Rey.

He tried calling her all day, he left voicemails and texts. She didn't answer to any of them. Was she okay? Probably not. Who would be okay with this? They had a great night, a great kiss and now it was all ruined. He had already smashed one of his phones to pieces over this and now he was about to break his second as he left yet another voicemail.

Please call me, Rey. I can't imagine what you are feeling or thinking but I am so sorry. I had nothing to do with this. I had no idea. I tried to stop it. I need to talk to you, I-

*Voicemail box full*

"FUCK!" he threw the phone against the wall. Luckily, he always had backup phones for this reason. The first phone he broke earlier in the day was because his mother had called him. She was furious and rightfully so. Considering conflict of interest with Rey being her student and Kylo her son. She thought it was his fault, that he staged it. Leia wouldn't listen to him. Kylo stared at himself in the hallway mirror recalling the conversation with her.

Rey is a sweet girl! She doesn't deserve any of this Kylo!

Mother, I did not do this-

You are just like your father and grandfather! You will always put the damned company first!

That isn't what happened!

Kylo! Even if this wasn't your fault, you would still put the industry before her. Just like you put it before your own relationship with your mother.

That is not true! He spat out.

You apologize to that girl and you leave her alone. She is trying to make a good life for herself. Ill be dammed if my own son ruins it. She hung up.

Kylo punched the mirror shattering his reflection. All day Leias harsh words had followed him. Deep down he knew it was true. He was like his father in some ways, but others he was not. He was not weak like his father. I am not weak. He repeated the mantra as he watched blood drip from his cut-up knuckles onto the black tile. Kylo looked back at the mirror and grabbed it off the wall throwing it to the ground. Next he tossed over the end table, the vase on top smashing. He grabbed a picture frame off the wall and threw it. this is what he does. If he can't control something he destructs. Its all an illusion, he thinks he can control his rage, but he can't. He can't control anything except the people he pays. Suddenly a deep though from the rage of his mind creeps up.

Maybe that's why he wants to shower Rey in money and gifts, he wants to control her too. He felt vile for even thinking that. He would not be like those before him. Maybe his mother was right, he wasn't a good thing for her. His rage, his greed, his history. He felt so lost in this moment. He was trying for his mother's love, for her to see the person he was outside of his choices. Kylo was wrong. His choices are what makes him who he is. And now he had to make another choice. If he let her go, would it please his mother? Or if he chose her, Rey, would he change for her?

Xxx

It had been a few days since the incident. Rey didn't dare leave her apartment, the fear of being seen so publicly consumed her. No one had identified her and for that she was thankful, any of her friends or roommates could have. Even Kylo could have named her but she continued to be known as the mystery woman in the media. By the second day she decided to listen to his messages. A stream of apologies, saying he will fix it, had nothing to do with it, he said it was his assistant, he said they were followed the whole night. That is what scared her more. This crazy woman looking for money had followed her, from her home, all night to take pictures of a private moment. If she knew everything about her why didn't she release her name. as the parade of voicemails continued, he left one saying he had her served already to prevent the loss of privacy.

He was doing everything he could to keep her safe and make this whole thing go away. For that she was thankful, but she couldn't muster the courage to talk to him. This was overwhelming. The thought of having people follow her or take pictures of her. Just like they do over Kylo. She knew that ever since he took over the family business, he had been in the news often and there were thousands of paparazzi photos to prove it. Rey had gone down another rabbit hole trying to see if any of his past girlfriends had been in her situation, but to no avail. She was the first one caught on camera; therefore she was extremely newsworthy. Everyday she looked out her window to see if there were any cameras, there weren't. this must means Kylo's privacy protection filing is working.

On the third day of hiding her father texted her. It took her breath away. She hadn't heart from him in months. They didn't talk often because they weren't close. She was just surprised to see the criteria of his message though.

Looks like a good man – dad

So he had seen the news. Rey wasn't the type to introduce boyfriends, if she could even call Kylo a boyfriend, to her dad. She didn't introduce anyone to her dad. Now she was worried he would ask her for money. She was worried her own dad would sell her name to the media. She started to crack. During this whole thing she never cried, until now. She was sobbing, she felt like she couldn't breathe. It was just one picture but there was so much behind it. Rey cried herself to sleep that night.

On the fourth day there was a knock at her door. Her roommates had been periodically checking in on her, cooking her food, offering to her laundry and what not. This time she expected they wanted her to come out, it had been 4 days after all.

"Yes?" she called out. Her voice hoarse.

"Rey… someone's here to see you." Rey could feel the uneasiness in her roommate's voice. She jumped out of bed and looked out the window. Sure enough his signature car was parked across the street. She bolted to the door and swung it open to reveal Kylo Ren himself. He had dark circles under his eyes and she noticed a bandage on his hand.

"Can we talk?" his voice was low.

Rey looked at her roommate and nodded. Taking the hint, she walked away as she bided Kylo to come into her room. Her heart skipped a beat see him in the middle of her room. He was so tall and dark, contrasting against her room and her life. He sat down on the edge of her bed ran a hand over his face. He looked so tired and remorseful.

"Will you sit next to me?" his voice was borderline begging.

"No." she stood there arms crossed.

The last four days had been hell for him. He had already served two privacy protection acts on her behalf, threw money at his employees to get them to shut the fuck up. his mother had shut him down, Rey had shut him out. He was exhausted and just wanted to see her face to face. He wanted to hold her in his arms like that night. He sighed defeated.

"Rey, please understand this wasn't my fault. I had no idea." He was pleading with her.

Rey looked down at her feet.

"I'm handling it okay? the judge passed the privacy protection order; you don't have to worry about my assistant or anyone releasing your information."

"How long does it last?" she really wouldn't look at him and his heart stung.

"6 months." now she looked at him panic in her eyes. He so badly wanted to reach out and hold her.

"Rey I will file every 6 months until I die. I swear, you are safe, that one picture is all they have, and I guarantee it wont even be on the news tonight."

Her shoulders sank relieved, she trusted him on that. "Why wouldn't it be on tonight? Did you throw money at the problem to make it go away?" she mumbled looking away from him.

His hands clenched. "Does it matter?"

She got her answer. Finally Rey moved and sat beside him. His heart thundered in his chest looking at her side profile. "I know it wasn't your fault. And I'm so thankful that you fixed it. I can literally never repay you."

He reached out and wrapped an arm around her. Thank the heavens because she leaned into his embrace. He held her tight to his chest and she buried her face into his shirt. "Rey, you never have to repay, me for anything. I should have sensed that someone was following us, its partially my fault."

She nuzzled his chest, "No, Kylo, it wasn't your fault at all."

The only thing he could do was nod and bury his head in her hair. His heart broke seeing her. When he arrived, her roommate warned him that she looked like a mess. And she did, she had clearly been crying, who knows when she last brushed her hair. He felt awful. He wanted everything to be better. This was certainly not a great start to their relationship. Relationship…

"From now on when we go out, ill make sure to be more careful."

She nodded. Since Rey didn't protest, he took that as a good sign. Until she pulled away and gave him a crestfallen look. "Spring break starts next week so I decided to just go home to Ohio tomorrow." In reality she was doing what she does best. Run away. She hasn't been back there since last summer, she spent the other school breaks relaxing in her apartment. But she wanted to slip away till everything officially cooled down. Plus she spoke to her dad, he sounded good and wanted to see her.

"Can I call you?" he reached for her hand and laced his fingers with hers.

"I would like it very much if you do." she blushed and squeezed his hand.

"Can I visit you?" he didn't want her to go now. He wanted to make everything up to her.

"No!" Reys face paled at the suggestion. "I mean, uh, its way to soon for you to meet the family." she never wanted Kylo to meet her family.

Kylo smiled warmly as he rubbed his thumb over her hand, "You are right, I understand."

"We can just hangout here for a bit before I have to start packing." When he didn't respond Rey started feeling anxious. "If you have time that is-"

Kylo pushed her back onto the bed, catching her off guard. "I always have time for you."

Reys breath hitched as she sat up on her elbows watching him stand at the foot of her bed. Her mind filled with flashbacks of last time he was in her room. Her eyes widened as he started unbuttoning his shirt, one by one. He wasn't going slow but it felt like he was. Her eyes were hungry to see him.

"Take off your shirt." His voice was a low hum. She swore she could feel it in her cunt. Without second guessing it she did, and this time she didn't try to cover her breasts. Kylo noticed how she was becoming more sexually comfortable with him. He had so many plans for her and her body. He slipped his shirt off his shoulders and stood there shirtless at his feet. He took note of how her lips parted and her eyes glazed. He was the most attractive man she had ever seen. Morals be dammed she would let this man choke her and more if he wanted.

He leaned down and wrapped his lengthy fingers around her ankles, yanking her the edge of the bed. Rey gasped and blushed. Usually in the bedroom she was not manhandled. Having never experienced this, she found she liked it. having him in command, assertive and dominating felt so comfortable to her. Is this what she had been missing out on? next thing she knew he had grabbed her sleep shorts and panties and pulled them down her leg tossing them aside.

Kylo looked down at her smooth naked body. He could see her pussy glistening, he had barley touched her and she was already wet. He reached down and palmed at his erection through his jeans as he took her all in, "Stunning." Making eye contact with her hooded eyes, he slowly sank onto his knees before her. Reys core was right before him, he was sure she could feel his warm breath by the way she bit her lip. His hands slid up her legs and he gripped her thighs spreading them. A small gasp parting her lips.

"Wait, Kylo..." her voice was soft and nervous again

He did as she asked, raising an eyebrow. "Yes?"

"No one's really ever... um… done this to me before." She was blushing and trying to push her thighs back together, but he held his grip.

He let out a deep chuckle, "I am so sorry to hear that, but I promise it will feel good."

She was looking anywhere but him, unsure of what to say. Why couldn't he just fuck her like every other guy? What made him so different that he wanted to take the time to know her body? No one had ever been like this and it confused her.

Sensing her hesitation, he released his grip on her thighs and placed gentle open-mouthed kisses where his hands had been. "Its okay Rey. We don't have to."

Fuck it, Rey thought. As he was starting to pull away, she put a leg on his shoulder. His eyes shot up to hers and she nodded with a nervous smile. Everything about Kylo ren was new to her. She had never met anyone liked him and every new experience with him was like heaven.

There was a low rumble in his chest and she felt it in the back of her thighs. That animalistic, dark side of his was back. But she knew if she said anything he would stop and return to the sweet gentleman he was. Maybe that's what she liked so much about him. His hands moved up to her hips, digging his fingertips in as he inched his face closer. I hope there's bruises, reys eyes widened at the thought. He was changing her and her habits. He kissed everywhere except her center, her inner thighs, her belly button and hips. She squirmed under his relentless gaze.

"Fuck Kylo! Do you want to eat me out or not?"

That sent him and next thing she knew his face was buried between her legs with a growl. Rey moaned and reached down grabbing fistfuls of his hair. His tongue pierced her and lapped at her wetness.

"Kylo!" she moaned his name and bucked her hips. He flattened his hands pinning her to the bed so she couldn't move. She huffed and dug her heel into his back urging him on. he devoured her, sucking and nibbling as he drank her up. her clit was being worshiped like it was all he would ever taste. He had her moaning and writhing within minutes. He growled into her, the vibration thrumming her clit. It took all his willpower not to stop and fuck her. Not yet, he had to remind himself. The way she said his name, the way her hands in his hair felt.

He slid a hand up her abdomen and grabbed one of her breasts as his arm draped over her stomach pinning her to the bed. Again, she cried out his name, she was close. With one last deep suck of her clit, she came undone in his mouth. "Kylo! Ommyfuckinggod, Fuck!" her back arched off the bed and she swore she was dying; no one had ever made her feel like this. As she was coming down from her high, Kylo pulled away and she could have cum again from the sight. His chin was slick with her juices, it had dribbled onto his bare chest. He winked at her as he rubbed his face on his forearm.

"Ill be right back." She couldn't protest, Rey was frozen in a daze. She watched him retreat into her bathroom and return with a wet washcloth. He wiped his face, arm and chest off before kneeling down again to wipe her thighs and center. "Well? Did you like it?"

She nodded blushing as she let him clean her.

"Good because I did too and ill definitely need another taste when you get back." He winked again sending her into another blushing fit. Kylo tossed the washcloth to the side and stalked up the bed till he was hovering over her. "Can I kiss you?" he asked just like he did the first time he was here.

She answered for him by leaning up and pressing her lips to his. She could taste herself on him still and this turned her on. The kiss was sweet and kind, different from the usual power trip. The rest of the evening was spent with Netflix playing softly in the background as they lay in her bed. Softly kissing, caressing and holding each other. It was a comfortable silence as they enjoyed each other's space. Feeding off one another's affection. When she had tried to please him like he had done for her he said not tonight. She didn't understand why he didn't want her to touch him the same way. Rey was very much a pleaser and she felt bad. Kylo had sensed her worry and reassured her it was alright. Soon he had to go, and she had to pack, with one last parting kiss he was gone. And good on his word, for the first night this week the picture was not in the news.
