AN: it's a little on the short side but it has to be for next chapter to flow.
After he left Rey decided to put on one of his t-shirts and sweatpants. She looked in the mirror and pulled the hem, inhaling deeply. Her mind flashbacked to the first time she stood in his apartment in his clothes. That's when Rey realized she still had the shirt and sweats he had given her last time. Maybe she should go back and get them… or just hold on to them because he hasn't noticed them missing yet. Then again, he probably would never notice because his walk-in closet was loaded. Yes, she did a little peaking around, only to find something of his to wear to calm her nerves. When she found the closet, she also found an empty rod with a sticky note with her name on it. Rey smiled to herself and held the note gently. It only had her name, but it was for her, that space in his closet was for her. She remembered him getting up in the middle of the night, maybe he put it there for her after she had fallen asleep.
Rey ran downstairs and grabbed her duffle bag. The idea of having her stuff here, the key he gave her, waking up next to him, it felt surreal. The whole time she was putting her clothes away she was smiling and felt truly happy. The morning conversation put on the back burner. It was hard to trust him and Kylo knew that. But it was hard for him to trust Rey too. Behind his charming smile and class, there was an injured soul that needed to heal. He was doing what he could to show her that he had trust in her.
She stepped back with her hands on her hips grinning proudly at her bright clothes contrasting against his mostly black closet. That feeling didn't last long because the shrinking anxiety came back. Too fast, this was too fast. She was asking too much of him. Was she getting too attached too soon? Something Rey relied on too much was the assurance of others. Right now, she wanted Kylo to kiss her forehead and say he was happy she was leaving a mark on his life.
The closet was becoming overbearing, so she left it, returning to the bedroom? Does Kylo make the bed in the morning or does he have a maid somewhere? She thought to herself. Of course he does, that's what military men do. In all the time she had spent here shed never seen a maid or cook. She occupied her time stripping the bed and making it. Her eyes caught the sun shining off the Alma-Tadema Steinway and once again her mind was flooded with images of last night. His face buried between her thighs as he had her laid out on top of the piano.
The music you make when you cum is heaven to my ears.
Rey shuddered and shook her head to clear her thoughts. He was haunting her mind every day. None of her previous boyfriends had this affect on her. She could hear his voice thinking alongside her own. If she closed, her eyes she could imagine his lips on hers. She could see that rare dimple smile he has, feel his hands in hers. Even when he wasn't around, he consumed her. She wondered if Kylo felt the same.
Xxx
Kylo most definitely felt the same. He cleared out space in his closet in the middle of the night for her. He had never done that for someone before. He had given her a key to his floor, no one else had a key except for him and his old assistant. Which hers was now deactivated. He was planning on giving her one of his cars too since she no longer had one due to the circumstances. But Kylo already knew she would say no. He was so focused on the thought of her he wasn't paying attention to the meeting whatsoever. As the day went on panic was setting in. he wondered if she had left after what had happened that morning. Kylo felt bad for rushing off so quickly, but he needed to. He had a session with a VA counselor before going to the office. The thought of talking about his issues with a romantic partner was never a question before. Now he had to learn how to talk to her about it so not to scare her like he did earlier. Then he went to work to get everything done. He wanted to spend all of reys spring break with her. Especially since she wasn't working because she was supposed to be states away right now. He had plans for her, to take her mind off things. He couldn't lie it was also to take his mind off things.
He was at the office pretty late, 6pm. But he got everything done and now Rey would be the center of attention. Not that she would like to be. He should call her because he had been gone so long. The phone barley rang before she picked up.
Hey. He could hear the smile on her lips
Hey, are you at home? He didn't even notice the way he said home instead of his place. Rey did though and her heart fluttered. Home.
Yea I am, are you hungry? And just like that Kylo was put at ease knowing she would be there when he returned.
Always. So what does my girlfriend like to eat?
There was a long pause.
Rey?
That's the first time you called me that. She was breathless.
What girlfriend?
Yes…
Oh. Well its true right? You are my girlfriend? Please say yes, please say yes.
I mean, uh, are you my boyfriend? He could picture her biting her lip and blushing right now.
Yes I am your boyfriend. He said it without hesitation.
Then I am your girlfriend and I made dinner. See you soon! Then she hung up.
For some reason the idea of coming home to a meal already prepared by his girlfriend enticed his heart. In no time he was parked and, in the elevator, heart pounding. When the doors opened, he could have moaned. The smell of home cooked food filled his nostrils. He cooked but wasn't the best at it and traveling for work so much he often had food made by someone else.
"Rey this smells amaz…" his words died in his throat when he walked into the kitchen taking in the heavenly sight before him. She was standing in front of the stove in just his t-shirt that barley covered her ass, long tresses of dark hair flowing around her. Glass of wine in one hand and spatula in another. He could get used to this.
She turned her head looking at him through her lashes. "Hi, boyfriend."
So that's what this is about. he dropped his suitcase and coat on the floor before taking long strides over to her. He grabbed the glass from her setting it down wordlessly as he grabbed her pulling her into him. "Hi, girlfriend." She gave him the sweetest smile and he ate it up in a kiss like candy. He couldn't help but slide a hand under his shirt and squeeze her ass. "Is this what's for dinner?" he murmured against her lips
She giggled and blushed as she ran her fingers through his hair. "Maybe dessert."
He quirked an eyebrow and slid his hand around cupping her pussy in his hand. "Maybe?"
Her breath hitched and her fingers tightened on him. "We have to eat dinner first."
He groaned and stepped away to look at the mess he made. Her nipples were piercing through his shirt and her eyes were storming. He had to turn away before he lost his damned mind and let dinner burn. Rey cleared her throat and turned back to the stove. "So, how was work?"
While he talked about work he watched her finish cooking and prepare two plates and a glass of wine for him. This small act of Rey making dinner for him made him melt. Small acts of kindness is what got him going. "I finished everything for the next week so that I can spend your spring break with you."
She nearly dropped her fork as she stared at him from across the table. "You did?"
"Yes. We don't have to spend the entire time together I just thought it would be nice." He was giving her that rare dimple smile. If he smiled like that all the time she would never leave.
"A month ago, I just thought you were another prick. Turns out you are the sweetest man I know."
Kylo was all too familiar with how she felt in the beginning. He had thought low of her too. Worried she would be after him just for his money. Now he was worried she was after his heart. Month be damned, if she asked it was hers.
Once they finished eating, the idea of dessert was filling his head again. The wine was getting to him. He grabbed her hand and pulled her in the direction of his room.
"Leave the dishes for later, I want to show you something."
She bit her lip and nodded following him. "Do you have a 50 shades red room or something?"
He looked at her over his shoulder at her, "Should I have one?"
Rey couldn't lie to herself. The thought of him having a secret sex room turned her on. then again would he even use it? he hadn't fucked her yet. No matter how hard she had begged him last night.
He led her into his room and to the closet. When he turned the light on, he was surprised to see her clothes already hanging. He was going to ask her to leave some stuff here so that whenever she came over, she would be comfortable. Looks like she got the message. He chuckled and pulled her into his arms. "You know, I wanted to ask you all romantically and shit but looks like I was too late."
Rey hid her face in his chest. "My bad."
Kylo reached down and pulled her chin up, staring into her beautiful eyes. "Thank you for being here and making me dinner."
She smiled softly at him and reached up stroking his check. "Thank you for the closet space and everything else you've ever done for me."
"Id do anything for you, Rey." His breath was a whisper. His heart was in his throat. "Ask and its yours."
"Anything?" her fingers traced his face and he saw something in her eyes. A look he was seeing in himself too.
"Yes." His arm around her waist tightened. Say it. Tell her.
"Kiss me, Kylo Ren."
