The knight of Ren could barely hold his temper as he rushed out of the assembly, Athena in his trail. Only in his quarters, he let out his bottled-up anger. With a cry, he struck down a marble statue with his lightsaber, hitting it repeatedly. The raw energy he exuded hummed in his ears.

"Kylo?" Athena asked. "What's the matter?"

He could hear the weariness in her voice, igniting his hatred even more.

"You fool. You played me!" he yelled.

"Why do you think that?" the young woman frowned, walking a step back. "This is what we agreed. The Outer Rim is remaining neutral, even the ones that were with the Republic. This is an incredible loss to the Republic. I have the mandate to sign the treaty with you."

"We didn't agree that. You are my apprentice, my servant!" he yelled.

"No. I agreed to that in exchange for peace. This is the first step to peace!" Athena reminded him. "Those were your exact words. I never promised that the ORA will join the Order."

Kylo stared at her in complete disbelief."Don't you realize what it means to be my apprentice? Your loyalty lies to me and only me. The show you put on earlier is disgraceful to the entire Order!"

He gestured towards the daring dress that revealed her shoulders and a part of her leg, accentuating her silhouette in the right places.

"Where is the fun in being on the Dark Side if I can't look gorgeous while doing it, master?" she emphasized the word "master" with slight sarcasm, making his blood boil to a point he could hardly contain himself.

"Don't flatter yourself. You should look like my apprentice, not like some… I could hear the thoughts of the men and the women in the room, you do realize that?"

"Dress not like some what?" Athena growled at him, anger flashing up in her eyes.

"It's not what I meant … you looked… like…" Kylo could almost slap himself for his embarrasing lack of words.

"I should have killed you on the spot for not kneeling in front of me! Yet I spared you. Again," he changed the subject, still yelling at her. He didn't remember the last time someone talked to him the way she did.

"Oh, how generous. Coming from you, it is truly an act of kindness. Especially since you usually even lash out at the furniture just for being in your way, commander," her tone was dripping with sarcasm. And then she rolled her eyes at him.

The knight of Ren rose his lightsaber over his head, standing in position of attack.

Athena stared at him, waiting for him to strike. "Try to hurt me and I will fight back," the countess muttered between gritted teeth, crossing her arms over her chest.

"You're insufferable," Kylo Ren spat, stopping in his movement, and putting his lightsaber away again. He opened his helmet, throwing it in the corner of the room.

The tension between them almost overwhelmed her. Athena was still enthralled from her success in the assembly, only to be brought down by Kylo's aggression. Her emotions were challenged in matters of minutes, as Kylo Ren remained unpredictable. Yet his anger only ignited her own, a feeling coming to her more easily.

"Sure," she shrugged. "But you are the one who chose me."

Kylo's dark eyes glowed with passion. The raw energy that had possessed him just seconds ago turned in something else.

He walked towards her with determination, leaning into his feelings of desire guiding him. He cupped her chin, the leather of his gloves cold against her skin. Athena arched her back, staring at him in defiance.

Kylo studied the pink arch of her soft lips. For moment they stood still, and it seemed as everything in the world stood still. As if the storm had calmed down for one perfect second.

"And… do you choose me?" he asked hesitantly.

"I do," Athena whispered, feeling like a light pull in her lower stomach. She couldn't breathe. Kylo Ren looked back into her eyes, a softness suddenly to him she rarely got so see. He pursed his lips, almost nervously.
"You can say no, Athena."

His seriousness left no room to doubt his words.

Athena gave him a small smile. "I know."

"I mean it," he insisted. Athena was surprised by the turn of their conversation.

"Kylo Ren. Have you thought about the possibility that I am the one holding power over you?" she teased. With that, she placed her lips on his, kissing him softly. Kylo Ren growled, his hand wandering to her neck, as he pulled her closer and kissed her back. Athena felt tingles all over her body, warmth building up in her belly and heat growing between her legs. Athena buried her hands in his hair, not wanting to ever stop.

Kylo pulled his arms around her, grabbing her around her waist as Athena slung her bare legs around him. In three steps, he sat her on a low table, only taking the time to throw everything on it on the floor. They broke their kiss apart to breathe, as Athena started to undress him, first by opening the clasps of his cape and then by slowly removing his armor. Kylo's hands wandered to her thighs, pushing aside the soft fabric of her dress. Athena let out a soft moan, as his touch send electric shivers through her entire system. Kylo stepped back, his lips still wet from hers, his eyes clouded with lust. He freed himself of his gloves and his shirt and, pulling it above his head, revealing his muscled and chiseled upper body. Athena locked her eyes with his. For a second, the world stopped. It was as two poles had found themselves, as is something as primal as the Force connected them.

Slowly, Athena pulled one leg up on the table. With one hand, she slowly drew up silk of her dress, revealing more skin inch by inch, while holding his gaze. Kylo kneeled before her, right between her legs. He grabbed her travelling hand, stopping her in her movements. Not able to hold himself back any longer, he brushed aside the fabric, allowing him the sight he craved for. He trailed soft kisses down her inner thigh as his hands held her tightly, his fingers bearing into her skin. Athena panted, the hard touch and soft kisses making her already completely flustered. As he approached her center, Athena was already wet.

"May the Force be with me…" she breathed as his lips touched her at the right place, softly sucking and tugging as Athena arched her back and closed her eyes. Her hands found his hair again, as Kylo placed one hand on her belly while holding her still. Everything about it felt right. His pace, his soft movements, his warm lips touching her, his tongue…

"Master," she moaned.

Waves of heat rose in her body, taking her to incredible heights. She wanted more, she needed more…

With a slight change in his pace, leaving her almost over the edge, he slowed down – before finally releasing her. The pleasure Athena felt was indescribable. It was as if for one moment, she was no longer in her body, but floating in pure bliss.

As she opened her eyes, Kylo stood up.
"More," she asked, not being able to form any clear form. Kylo grabbed the bodice still covering, his hands ripping it apart with bare force. There was nothing soft about him anymore. She grapped his pants, pulling them down without patience.

"More," she panted again, not being able to wait any longer.
"You're not giving the orders around here," Kylo growled, his body finally fully between her legs. Finally, his member entered her, filling her with the hot feeling she craved for. Her legs pulled him closer, as for a moment, she felt so utterly complete. Another loud moan escaped her lips as he thrusted into her hardly, making her world spin. His hands grabbed her hair, pulling her forehead close to his, as their eyes found each other.

"Ohh…" she cried out as she came close to the edge again. She thrusted her hips against him, pushed him, her nails dug in his muscular back, leaving deep red scratches. "Kylo…"

In synch, their rhythm grew quicker, as Kylo was close too.

Again, it seemed like the universe stopped spinning, as something deep and powerful fell into place.

"Come, little countess," the knight of Ren purred as both rushed to their orgasm. Panting heavily, both were finally released, Kylo's heavy body collapsing onto her. For more delicious moments, they stayed in this position, laying half on the table, completely intertwined.

Releasing her, Kylo pulled his arms under her legs and shoulders and carried her over to the bed.

Here we are with some action ;)
