How about more fluff from our clueless ones? Now remember Rey is Kira, Kira is Rey and Kylo is Ben. And no, neither one still has no idea who the other one is.
Also—I hate to say it but no update on All He's Ever Wanted this week. I know, I know, you can boo and hiss at me later. We were all sick the past two weeks plus I'm still working on the fairytale retelling for an anthology! And yes, when I get it back, I'll be posting it here as Reylo (well I'm also a dork and writing it as Reylo so it's already reylo but I can't post it here and publish it because of Zon. They get a little upset when we do that.) but I have one more scene to write for that then I can finish All… *sniff, sniff*
Thank you again for coming back. I do wish I could just sit and write all of this one. I can't wait until they find out and then stuff happens. The fallout I guess you could say. But what I love is how much these two love each other already and they have no idea, no idea at all… thank you again for all of your likes, kudos, and comments. Each one blesses me so much, you have no idea.
Love you all!
"We'll have to go actually socialize soon—" she begins. Finn and Rose will be here in the morning, and she knows that she'll have to make an appearance soon. They know Kylo, she may as well invite them all up here?
"Nah—" he grins as he feeds her another bite of taco. After their sweet love making—Kira was starved, of course. They found an all-night taco stand. Currently they are sitting in a booth, with the latest top forty from Mexico playing in the background while they eat all you can eat tacos and slushy margaritas. She's wearing the hoodie he first saw her in, standing in their shared hallway, and he's wearing one from their hotel. "We need this in New York."
"Now that's a business idea I can get behind," she giggles as she takes another bite and a big sip of her green slushy. "Even if it's just a cart in the park."
"I'm not sure the City would let us sell slushy margaritas in the park," he reminds her.
"That's a shame. These would make so many New Yorkers so much happier."
"I'm glad that you're happier. I know this sounds so last century, but I don't like it when you cry. I just want to fix whatever it is that's making you sad. Damn it Kira. I didn't tell you that to make you cry again," he grumbles as she sniffs her tears back.
"Honestly, no one has ever said that to me, or even just did it." she tries not to sound so pitiful.
"Are you ready to talk about what happened today?" he asks.
"No, but it does make me want to make more of a difference in the world. Maybe if I do enough good, they won't see me and think of the bad he did."
"So, it is a relative?" He takes her fingers in his hands.
"It is. He got custody of me after my parents died. So yes, I really am an orphan."
"I'm not sure what our future holds. But I know that I like you. A lot. And if you ever need me, please don't be afraid to ask." He brings her hands up to his mouth. "I adore you Kitten," he murmurs before he kisses her fingers.
"You're pretty amazing yourself there, Master. Can I ask you something?" She pulls her hands back only so she can eat.
"Anything."
"How old are you?"
"How old are you?" he echoes.
"Thirty-two." She can feel herself flushing red.
"Kira—are you embarrassed?"
"No, I mean it's not like I haven't done anything with my life—how old are you?"
"I'm thirty-five," he admits. She loves how he's proud of that.
"And only a little bit of grey—" she giggles as he throws a tomato at her. "We should do this again."
"Eat tacos?" he asks. She loves the little confused look that passes over his face.
"No—but we could eat tacos there. We should go on vacation. This time somewhere tropical. With a white beach and water so clear you can see the bottom of the ocean." She claims another bite of food. "You know, I've never been to Jamaica."
"Why Jamaica?" He asks before he puts the last bite of his taco in his mouth.
"I'm not sure. Beach, ocean, those tin drums playing in the background." She reaches for his hand, and he meets her halfway across the table. "Just somewhere else with you, away from everything—"
"That does sound nice," he agrees. "I know, we'll plan it for November, when New York starts to get cold."
"We should plan it over Thanksgiving so we won't have to deal with all the tourists there for the parade." She takes another bite of her taco.
Should he invite her to his parent's house for the holiday, or pray that they won't be too upset if he doesn't come home?
Instead, he teases, "And miss the parade?"
She shakes her head at him. "I didn't even think—I bet you have plans with your family. I'll probably just go to Maz and Chewy's."
"No—" he's not sure why this conversation is going where it's going but he needs to get it back. He can feel her disconnecting and he loves seeing and spending time with this side of her. "We can do something. I'd love it, actually."
"Alright," she says. Then the biggest smile he's ever seen on her face appears. An unnamed emotion swells in his chest—
Is this love?
Instead of stealing his breath, peace washes over him.
He loves his kitten— and everything else will take care of itself.

Friday morning
Kisses across her face, down her neck that stop at a nipple. A hiss from her as her fingers delve into those inky locks of his. He hums as she tugs and the ripple of need he sends through her makes her back arch off the bed.
"I have to pee—" she whispers as he licks across her chest to her other breast. He draws that one into his mouth, while his thumb and forefinger play with the nipple he just vacated.
"You can hold it—" he murmurs, never taking her out of his mouth.
"Not if you keep on doing that— ah," she opens her legs and slides in-between them. Somehow this six-foot-really-tall guy has her nipple in her mouth and still manages to rub the head of his dick in between her folds. He rubs her clit hard enough to where she's seeing stars and moans, "Kylo—Master—sir!"
"Does that feel good, Sweetheart?"
Another wave of desire has her begging, "Please—"
"Please what Kitten?" He finally stops sucking on her nipple.
Instead, his new method of torture is to prop his chin on her breastbone, pluck those same nipples until she squirms beneath him and breathlessly says, "I need you—"
"You need me?" He continues to torment her with that cocky smile of his.
She shifts her hips until she can just catch his head. he stills. Then he shifts his hips and begins to slide home. But he stops when just the tip is in. Before he can tease her anymore, she bucks her hips, and he slides in.
With an evil grin, she locks her legs around him and before he can stop her, she flips them both over. He's still deep inside as she settles herself on top. She grabs his wrists, and after she pins them on either side of his head, she begins to ride him.
His moans encourage her to move faster until he wraps his arms around her. "Relax," he whispers. Even as she drapes her body across his, he begins to fuck up into her. He feels so good, that she bites his shoulder as she comes all over him.
He must feel her fluttering around him because she's still enjoying her orgasm when he comes too. More kisses, wherever they can reach. When she starts to get up, his groan is his protest.
"I told you, I have to pee," she giggles as she rolls off of him.
"Shower?" he asks following her into the bathroom.
"Yes, but only if you're not tired of me yet." She does her business, not caring if he watches her or not.
"You—" he waits for her to stand. "Never." He murmurs pulling her into his arms. "What are you doing today?"
"Do you remember my friends from Morosis? Poe's already here, and Ro—err Lily and Finn is flying out today."
"Does your Lily know that her Red is here?" Kylo offers as he turns on the shower. He enters first to check the water and she follows.
"She does not. Should I call her or let it be a surprise?" She pauses and their eyes meet. "Surprise!" they say together.
Brbrbrbrbr
"Why did you think it was a good idea to have everyone in our rooms?" He groans. It's late afternoon and after a kiss and a I'll be back in a little bit he left for a hour. Yes he came back, and she knows that he must have spoken at the conference or at least went to watch one of the presenters, but he hasn't mentioned it since he came back.
She tries to push away how it stings, after all this falls under things they don't talk about doesn't it?
"Because we have the biggest suite?"
Currently they are hosting all their friends who are really their employees but still their friends at their private pool. Rey has to keep reminding hers to call her Kira and not Rey while Kylo glares at Red or Hux as he introduced himself or Armie that Rose—err Lily has started calling him. But then Rose declares that her name is really Rose, not lily, but Rey didn't introduce herself as Rey, not sure what would happen.
Rey isn't sure what to think.
Poe and Finn of course sit with Kaydel and who for some reason keeps asking how they all met while Phasma, a new one who evidently was on the plane from New York with Rose and Finn chuckles at all of them, while it's clear that she knows Kylo and Hux.
But that's alright. Kira is in her bikini, sitting beside Kylo in his swim trunks sipping more slushy margaritas. As for right now, in their little world, all is good.
Even when Poe and Finn throw Kaydel into the pool then when they go after Phasma. She throws them into the pool which means Kylo has to get up and throw her into the pool. Phasma comes up coughing a sputtering while Rose tries to push Hux in, only to have him grab her at the last minute and they both go under, splashing Kira.
She protests, complaining of getting pool water in her slushy, when Kylo picks her up and jumps in with her in his arms. They come up sputtering, giggling and after she gets the hair out of her eyes, they share a kiss—
What they don't see is Rose's huge smile, Hux's jaw dropping, Poe slapping Finn on the back, Kaydel asks Poe again who is Kylo and how did they all meet and finally Phasma looks as shocked as Hux.
But by the time they separate, everyone is back to talking to one another, acting none the wiser that their bosses were just kissing each other.
"I'm hungry," his kitten purrs in his ear as she kisses her way down his neck.
"I have an idea—do you and your friends like steak?"
"Mhmm—yes we are not vegetarians."
He kisses her nose. "I'll be right back." He jumps out of the pool and after grabbing a towel, he rushes back in. she just smiles as she watches him.
"Kira!" Rose hisses from her place in the water. "Come here." Rey swims over to her friend who is wrapped around Hux.
"What did you do to him, and please don't stop," Hux almost begs her.
"What—"
"Armie—" Rose fusses. "She doesn't know that you're kidding. Where did he go?"
"I have no idea," Kira says. "I told him that I was hungry."
"Did you two plan this?" Phasma asks as she swims up to them.
"Oh no. I came up to my rooms and he was there going into his. I didn't know he was coming until then."
"That's so sweet." Kaydel says as she joins their conversation. "How long have you two been dating?"
Rose and Rey's eyes meet and they both chuckle. But all Kira says, "It's been a while. We've been keeping it a secret."
Before they can say or ask anything else, Kylo comes rushing back out onto the patio. "I hope you guys are hungry! We have a private chef coming to cook dinner for us."
Their small crowd welcomes him with a cheer. Phasma and Kaydel climb out of the pool while Hux swims to join their friends, but Rose stays by her side. "What's wrong?" Rose whispers.
"Do you remember the rumors your dad tried to tell me about Grandfather but your mom stopped him?" Rey asks.
"Yes, that was forever ago—"
"It was only because of your mom that he even allowed us to be friends." Rey adds.
"You remember that?" Rose asks.
"An orphan just coming to the big bad city from her little two-bedroom shack in the south—yeah I didn't forget anything." She bumps her shoulder against Rose's earning a smile. "But I'm glad that you didn't give up on me."
"We were all each other had back in the day." Rose bumps her back. "Now what's this about a rumor?"
"I know why Ben Solo wants to meet with us—or at least I think I do. Evidently one of Grandfather's body guards back in the day killed his grandfather, Anakin Skywalker."
"Yeah, Dad never told me that one. Who told you?"
"Lor San Tekka."
"He would know. what does he want? An apology?"
"Well, I mean I'd give him one—because you know Grandfather probably never did. But I just wonder, is there something else he wants?"
"I'm not sure." Rose grins like a crazy loon. "We can talk about this later! We're here in Vegas baby! Your Dom boyfriend who is clearly head over heels in love with you is offering to feed all of your friends. And not only that, but spend time with us, too. He's a keeper."
"Help me to figure out how to keep him and I will."
Brbrbrbrbr
Phasma evidently had a date with someone she met on the plane. Then Poe had tickets for Cirque du Soleil and took Finn and Kaydel. The remaining four, Rose, Hux, Kylo and Rey/Kira, are sitting around the gas log firepit sipping the local beer the waitstaff left.
"After that, Kira here slid down the muddy bank—"
"It was awful! I even had mud in my hair—" the girls giggle like they were still twelve and on that camping trip while the guys chuckle along. "Even now if Rose's dad is in the right mood—"
"You know he tells that story to all of his friends."
"I believe it," Kira breathes with a smile. There are indoor/outdoor couches around the firepit. Rose and Hux are on one, while she and Kylo are on the opposite one. "I have a question since it's just us—how long have you guys been kinky?"
She knows it's the right question when the guys straighten.
"You go first," Rose adds.
"That's fine, but the rest of you have to promise to tell us too," Kira/Rey says. After her friends—her smile is genuine as she meets all their eyes, nod, she starts, "I always fought for control. Control over my life, my decisions, over everything. Then one day, we were bored."
"And saw a new club was opening," Rose adds.
"And went right in. Poe knew instantly what kind of club it was, the rest of us club virgins had no idea."
"We quickly figured it out—" Rose chuckles.
"What gave it away," Hux asks.
"The naked people hanging on the walls like they were in that kinky book by Anne Rice— Kira/Rey quips.
"That would give it away," Kylo chuckles.
"How old were we?" Rose asks.
"Just babies at the tender age of twenty one." Kira/Rey says. "What about you guys?"
"We were roommates in college," Hux begins. Then one night we were bored and one of the sororities were hosting a fundraiser but more party."
"It was a BDSM themed party. I got to flog some co-eds," Kylo offers while a shudder of need zings through her body. She's been flogged and wishes he would do it again. "Then Hux there got flogged." That earns him a giggle from Rose. "And that set us both on a path of exploring the lifestyle."
They all know he's been whipped—recently too. What she secretly loves his how he pouts and Rose cuddles him to her breast. The tall, though not as tall as Kylo, man wiggles and scoots until he's lying in Rose's lap, nuzzling her breasts.
A finger under her chin directs her attention back to her love. The fire casts his face in a light she's never seen before. Something stirs inside her, and she wants him even more than she has before.
Taking a hint from their friends, it's his turn to wiggle and scoot until his head is in her lap. "What are you up to?" she chuckles.
"This is quite comfortable," he purrs as her fingers sink into his inky waves.
"You just wanted me to play with your hair," she murmurs. Her heart feels like it's flipping as he looks at her like he. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Like what, sweetheart?" he asks, never breaking their stare.
"Like I hung the moon, just for you," she whispers.
"You mean you didn't?" He teases.
"I might have." She answers as his eyes close. just when she thinks he's asleep, he grabs the hand that isn't playing with his inky locks and kisses her palm before he places her hand over where his heart is. A sudden wave of love—yes love for this man lying in her lap makes tears spring to her eyes. She would give everything she owns not to have to leave this moment, to stay here with him.
But even as she wishes for more time— Rose says, "Hey guys, it's late and I have a presentation tomorrow."
"Hux does too—" Kylo adds.
"Hush," the redhead exhales dramatically. "You know I hate public speaking."
"Just pretend that you're on Galaxy Wars like you usually do—" Kylo quips as he sits up. She immediately misses him warmth and wants to pull him back into her lap.
But instead, she stands and a chill dances down her spine from the chilly night air. Kylo must notice her shiver because he ushers her into the penthouse with Rose and Hux close behind them.
"It got chilly fast—" she admits as he pulls his hoodie over her head. Instant comfort as the scent that is all him fills her nose. She just wants to bury herself in it it smells that good. he meets her eyes with a happy twinkle in those whiskey-colored ones and she just—Rose pulls on her sweater over her bathing suit, momentarily distracting her. Hux holds out his arm for her with a smile "Wait—are you two staying together?"
"Maybe—" Rose says with a grin.
"Are you sure someone didn't plan all this?" Kylo says as he wraps his arms around her.
"It's starting to feel that way, doesn't it?" Hux says.
"Now that's silly." Rey tries to ignore the heat that's burning her ears.
Did someone plan all this?
She meets Kylo—Rose meets Hux.
"Hey," Kylo whispers in her ear. "It's just a happy coincidence." He kisses the shell. "What's wrong?"
She shakes her head before she steps out of his arms. Rose quickly grabs her in a hug because she knows because she's been there for almost all of Rey's life and she knows how hard it is for Rey not to freak out and worry and all that other self-destruct emotions that happen when she doubts and begins to question—
"She's alright, sometimes she needs a hug from her bestie, right?" Rose says. Rey turns slowly and sees the question in his eyes. She's never stepped away from him before—never had a reason to—but then he stands there with his arms wide open and her heart skips a beat and for a moment she wonders what would it be like to be his—truly his where he'll never leave and she'll never leave but then his arms are there, warm and understanding as they pull her back to him.
"Why are you crying?" he murmurs. She feels him nod, Rose must have said something along the lines of call if you need us—
"Master—" she looks up and her green ones meet those whiskey colored ones of his and she feels herself falling just a little more—
"Kylo—" he says as he swallows hard, almost like he was going to say something else. "I'm Kylo. just call me master at Morosis, if you want to."
"You feel it too?" She asks as he guides her to the lazy boy in the corner of their living room—her heart clinches- Their living room.
"That we've moved past what we have at the club? Yes, I feel it too." He kisses her forehead as he cuddles her close. "Why are you crying?"
She wants to tell him. she really does. but what comes out instead is— "Just hold me, please?"
"Kira—Kitten—we have to talk about this."
"I will when it's time, alright?" She leans back so she can see his eyes in the lamplight. "It's just after my parents died, it took me a while to trust and to love again. They aren't technically my family, but I love Rose, Poe and Finn like they are my brothers and sister."
"I understand that. My family and I haven't always gotten along, so Hux and Phasma are my family too."
She doesn't say anything else but leans in to kiss his cheek. She's not sure if he can tell or not that she's not telling him everything—then he looks at her who is staring at him and she can see it in her eyes the moment that he remembers
That this is just a game of make-believe—or is it?
Maybe, just maybe this is when she needs to tell him who she really is—
But when his arms tighten around her, everything else fades away but them as she remembers what his touch does to her and what she thinks she does to him and maybe they can hold one another for just a little longer-
Brbrbrbrbr
Saturday
"Are you going to go hear Hux's presentation?" He asks the next morning while they are still naked in their bed. She's curled into his side and there's nowhere else he'd rather be. Except maybe on that beach in Jamacia.
And he's not going to think about why she won't tell him why she's in Vegas. At the same time he is. Even though he'd give her anything if she would. Maybe he needs to tell her who he really is-
"Are you?" she asks. "I'm here, I may as well go to least a couple of classes."
"I should. Come with me." He grins at her.
"What is he teaching?"
"He actually there's a mentorship program that he's starting. Lots of crazy and extreme ideas that he got from our old boss. But they seem to work."
"Sounds interesting. I'll go."
"Maybe it won't be so boring then—"
"And Rose's is today also."
"Which one is hers?"
"Teamwork makes the dream work."
"I wonder if they've talked?" he chuckles
"Those two? Probably not. My guess is she still as him tied up to her bed," she says as she starts to get up.
"Maybe we should do that today instead of going to listen to presentations," he grunts as she pulls her back and she lands against him.
"You know as well I do that if we don't go- we'll never hear the end of it." She rolls over and peeks at him through her hair that's currently everywhere. "let's do this—then we'll go out tonight. More tacos and slushy margaritas?"
"That does sound good. I wonder how much it would take them to move to the City?"
Brbrbrbrbr
"Which one is first?" Kira asks as they enter the smaller of the ballrooms. Kylo looks around but before he can answer, someone comes rushing over to them and throws their arms around her.
Kira meets his eyes over the shoulder of the female who is saying something in her ear. But when she leans back, a huge smile appears. "Paige? What are you doing here?"
"Some friends of mine wanted to have a wild weekend in Vegas and Mom said that all of you are here too! I can't believe I actually found you—" this new person who looks a lot like Hux's Rose steps back and runs into him. He catches her by her upper arms and set her right/straight. Paige, he guesses turns and meets his gaze before she looks back to Kira. "Who is this?"
"Have you seen your sister? She's here—" he doesn't miss how Kira doesn't introduce him which is fine. He's not sure if this is a good idea or not. If she's already seen someone who knows her—when is his acquiesce coming?
And since Kira is obviously in the same business as him, he starts to wonder—who does she work for? His heart sinks—what if she was sent to get in his bed to spy on him? The air leaves the room as anxiety makes his heart thud. "Kira—" he whispers.
She meets his eyes, hers full of worry it looks like. "Paige, I'll talk to you later." Then she puts her hand on his arm. "Kylo?" she mutters. "What's wrong?"
"Who do you work for?" he hisses. "Moody's? Morgan Stanley? Deutsche? Were you sent to spy on me?"
"What?" she squeaks. Which makes him feel a little better. He's learned that about her, when she squeaks like that, she's being truthful. "I don't work for any of them. Why are you asking me this? Is it because Rose is presenting today?"
"You don't work in finance?
"No—my business is more into acquisitions, not finance." He knows she watches him and will until he smiles. Which he does.
He needs to trust her—right?
And he does he realizes as he looks into those big hazel green eyes of hers. His heart fills with what could only be love—
Love?
His lungs refuse to move but his heart, the same one that's full of feelings for her feels like it's going to gallop out of his chest.
He smiles what feels like the biggest smile he's ever smiled as he takes her in. A smile grows on her face and he just wants to wrap her in his arms and stay—but instead, he reaches for her hand and says, "Let's go find some seats."
