Chapter 4

Ben brought his lips to Rey's once again and continued grinding against her, relishing the moans he was making come out of her. Rey wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled her closer to him. The two were in sync and their bond sparked with the love they had for each other. Just as Rey reached out to pull Ben's shirt over his head, a loud beep sounded at the door, making them both jump. They climbed off of the bed and stood next to each other as their eyes looked towards the door. "Supreme Leader, have you found the girl?" asked Allegiant General Pryde through the door. Rey slid her hand into Ben's and squeezed it gently. Ben squeezed back and kissed her forehead gently.
"She was in my quarters but has since left. I am searching through the Force to find her," Ben snapped in his strict tone. Rey couldn't help but sigh at how powerful he sounded and tried to keep herself from kissing him again.
"Well, sir, we have not seen her on any of our cameras. She couldn't have possibly slipped away that easily," Pryde replied.
"You don't know her like I do, Allegiant General. She is strong with the Force and well-trained. She is still on the ship, I can feel it," Ben spoke trying to keep his annoyance of Pryde out of his voice as best as he could.
"That may be so, but I do know about what a woman like her does to the heart of any man. I know about your connection with her and I know you'll stop at nothing to protect her. You're lying to me, Supreme Leader. She's still in there with you," Pryde spoke with a confidence that Ben could feel so clearly. Ben clung to Rey's hand and squeezed it gently, feeling his own confidence build when she squeezed his hand back.
"Allegiant General, don't do something you'll regret," Ben declared. "Oh, I think I'll rather enjoy this, Supreme Leader," Pryde replied. Before Ben could respond, the door to his quarters was blown open. Ben moved to protect Rey and they were pushed back onto the bed. Smoke filled the room after the blast and Ben quickly gathered Rey in his arms to check if she was alright. She clung to him and made sure he knew she was okay. Both of their hearts dropped, however, when they heard Stormtroopers marching into the room with Pryde following behind. Ben stood up from the bed and placed Rey behind him, shielding her from the troopers who had now raised their blasters at the both of them.
"Ah, Supreme Leader. The Emperor was right all along," Pryde sneered at Ben.
"You will leave my quarters immediately or-" Ben began but was silenced by a slap from Pryde. The Allegiant General wished that the boy would have fallen but still felt immense pleasure from delivering the blow nonetheless.
"The Emperor was beginning to doubt your allegiance to him so he had asked me to keep an eye on your actions. He told me that you would do anything for his granddaughter and he was absolutely right," Pryde continued as he stepped closer to the pair of them. He stared at Rey hungrily and glanced back at Ben with an absolutely evil grin plastered on his face.
"She really is quite lovely. I can see why you enjoy her company so much, Ren. I look forward to having her be in my company on our way to Exegol," Pryde spoke as he moved forward to try and grab Rey.
"Don't you dare," Rey spoke as she pushed Pryde away from her using the Force. Ben looked towards her with such awe in his face that it was difficult for Rey to suppress a smile. But the moment was short-lived as the troopers moved behind them and clasped binders on their wrists behind their backs. Ben and Rey both struggled against their restraints as Pryde gingerly made his way back over to them, trying desperately to hide how much pain he was truly in from Rey's actions.
"The Emperor will be pleased to see the power his granddaughter has. You will go to Exegol, scavenger scum," Pryde spoke as he tilted Rey's head up so she could see into his smug face.
"If you take me there, I will just kill the Emperor," Rey spat back. She shuddered slightly as Pryde laughed at her response.
"You will go to Exegol. If not, I will kill Ren right in front of you," he replied. Her shocked face made Pryde's hideous smile stretch across his face once more.
"Rey, don't do this. You can't give yourself up just for me. Rey, please-" Ben spoke but was then silenced by a punch to his stomach from one of the troopers. "No!" Rey screamed out. She stamped the foot of the trooper holding her and kicked Pryde away from her as she hurried towards Ben. She leaned her head against his shoulder before standing in front of him, protecting him from Pryde and his squad. "ENOUGH!" came a shout from outside Ben's quarters before blaster fired rained down on the squad of Stormtroopers. Rey pushed Ben away from the blaster fire and still covered him to protect him. When the blasters stopped, the whole squad along with the Allegiant General were lying dead. Before Rey could stand up to see who it was, she heard footsteps running down the stairs. Her heart swelled when she saw Finn, Poe, and Chewie. They had saved the day.
