(Warning: this chapter contains smut)
Surprise! I was able to upload another chapter for all of you wonderful readers! Thank you all for your kind words and support. It means the world to me. Also if anyone ever wondered what Kylo and Falynn's theme song would be my pick for them is "Landmines by BELLSAINT." It was one of the first songs I listened to when I started writing this story and is still a strong influence I use for it. I love you all and hope all is well. Enjoy your read!
The ship felt smaller than it had the day before and Falynn couldn't get comfortable as she sat down in the small booth, biting down on her thumb. She had left a man to die. A stupid and brutal man but nonetheless a man. She wondered if Kylo was on his way back to them, and if he already finished the grisly task. Falynn hadn't wanted Telc to be killed, she merely wanted to show all three of them what she was capable of. She didn't understand why Kylo had to go off and finish things like this. Why was this always his solution? Falynn wouldn't have let go of Telc's arm she would have held on all day if she had to, but Kylo threw all of it back in her face. He said that he would only listen if she told him everything that happened. It was petty really, all of it. Falynn wanted to rough Telc up a bit, teach him where his place was then move on from there and let him go about his business.
Right now the man was probably-
Falynn shut down the thought as she swallowed the bile that rose up in her throat. This was all her fault. However she knew that sacrificing Telc was the cost of saving the Resistance. It was either take a chance on them or Telc. It didn't take her long to figure out which was more important. The fact though she had gambled someone else's life did nothing to ease her nerves, she didn't even notice when General Jase set down a cup of water down in front of her.
"My lady," General Jase soothing voice broke through her thoughts.
Falynn blinked at the cup in front of before taking it and giving the General a grateful nod before taking a small sip. The water though cool and crisp felt like ash going down her dry throat. She quickly set it down before placing her hands on her lap and balling them into fist underneath the table.
The General sat down next two her with two more cups, she figured the extra was for Kylo. She tried to relax her shoulders so he wouldn't see how tense she was, but did not reach for another sip of her water.
After taking a short sip of water General Jase turned to Falynn, his eyes crinkling at Falynn. "That was quite the display that you showed, my lady. If you don't mind me asking where did you learn to fight that way? I don't remember Darred ever telling me that you could fight."
Falynn's brows shot in surprise, "you know my father?"
Nodding General Jase leaned back a little in the booth. "Your father and I have worked beside each other on a few occasions. I don't know him terribly well but he talked about you and your mother often. I could tell you were his biggest treasures."
Falynn felt her insides going tight as she looked into her cup of water, a blurred reflection of her eyes looking back at her. She wanted to believe the General, and knew that it probably was the truth that her father probably often spoke of his family. Were they his greatest treasures though, that was what she doubted. Growing up Darred wasn't around his family much. He left them in a luxurious home, but Falynn's mother was often left alone to take care of her daughter. Darred often came up in between missions to spend a few days with his family and then was off again. The other times Falynn was able to see her father was when she had watched him training his group of troopers from afar. Falynn had always climbed a tree or found somewhere to sneak and hide as she watched her father in adoration from afar. Her mother had always spoken of him as he was some kind of king, placing him on that force forsaken pedestal. Darred had always come home with gifts, treats, and pretty things for Falynn and her mother. Probably compensating for everything he was doing behind their backs, and for being gone away from them so often. If she truly was his treasure, what kind of king just gave that away so easily? She didn't wish to speak of her father so decided to answer the General's question.
"I learned a few tricks here and there. When I was younger I took many dance lessons which helped me be more flexible?" Falynn explained before a light bit of pink rose to her cheeks. "Ren, has also taught me a few things."
To her surprise General Jase tilted his head back and let out a hearty chuckle. "Is that where he was those mornings I couldn't find him? You two have gotten really close haven't you? I am glad to hear that, my ladyship."
Falynn set her elbow on the table resting her lips on her knuckles. She wouldn't say that her and Kylo Ren had gotten closer. They argued just as much as they had from the beginning but a few things had changed. Well it had, before Dantooine where their relationship seemed to revert back to how it was before. She was tempted to ask the General how often Kylo revealed his face to him, but she refrained. Falynn didn't want to know. Perhaps soon it wouldn't matter anyway. Not if things went smoothly and she was able to convince her husband to let her get close to the Resistance. A sound of footsteps on the metallic floor drew Falynn's attention to the ship's entrance. Kylo easily walked in, his posture seeming rather relaxed as he made his way over to the booth and scooted in next to Falynn. She flinched for a second when Kylo draped his arm behind her back. General Jase slid the extra cup over to Kylo who easily caught it in his hand. Falynn raised her brows, wondering if Kylo would take off the helmet so he could take a drink. She frowned when he didn't. General Jase being the wise official that he was, didn't bother to question it as he waited quietly for either his lord or his lady to speak.
"How is your back?" Kylo asked leaning forward where his helmet was directed at Falynn. "Are you in any sort of pain?"
Falynn stared at him blankly for a moment.
Why was this man so damn confusing?
One moment he was trying to manipulate her to get his way, now he was acting like he was concerned about her well being. Unless this was a part of his manipulation as well.
"I'm fine," she flatly replied leaning forward onto the table so she wouldn't be up against his arm. "May we get started now?"
Kylo ignored her question as he moved his arm running his hand down her back. Falynn's eyes widened at the sudden touch. In front of General Jase too! Kylo kept moving his hand until it was resting knowingly on where her scars were. His hand felt warm on her back and she hated that the touch was comforting to her in a way.
Ignoring her question Kylo stated. "After we are done speaking I am going to have Mayea look at your wounds."
"Telc didn't open them," Falynn reassured.
Kylo leaned back moving his arm to go back behind Falynn. "We didn't bring Mayea with us for nothing. She is supposed to be doing daily check ups on you anyway. Not to mention that the confirmation that you are fine will probably help aid you in convincing me that you should be the one to go into the Resistance base."
Falynn wasn't going to argue with him on that. He made a valid point, and it wouldn't hurt to make sure that everything was still intact with her. Right now she just needed to voice her thoughts on this matter, and this time not be interrupted.
"Alright," Falynn sighed leaning back into his arm. "Shall we get started then?"
He was surprised that Falynn had not inquired of him about what happened with Officer Telc. She had looked off when he came onto the ship where it was clear that something was bothering her. Whatever her suspicions were they were probably correct, but perhaps not in all detail. Kylo had pulled Telc the rest of the way to Quad B's ship then ordered everyone to get up. Troopers just in their sleep wear jumped out of their small chambers and walked out into the hallway to see what their Supreme Leader wanted. Kylo had pushed Telc in front of everyone, hard enough where the officer landed on all fours. The troopers had stared at the man wide eyed wondering what on earth he had done, to look so beaten up.
"Work of the Empress," Kylo had announced to them as he moved his helmet to each individual. "In punishment for disregard and disrespect of her orders. Those who do not obey my word or hers will face such punishment if not by my hands, by hers." Lifting his hand Kylo barely had to focus as he choked the life out of Telc.
Within seconds the officer laid dead on the floor.
"Let this be a warning to all," Kylo's voice came out deep through his helmet. "All those who wish to speak up against me or my wife, will face similar punishment." Before walking away he nonchalantly added. "By the way...I was not the one who left those bruises on him."
The men had stared at the dead body silently, leaving the hallway thick with the smell of tension and fear. Good, that was how he liked to make his statements. Blunt, quick and brief where there was no room for question. After quickly killing Telc and making his remarks Kylo had quickly boarded off of the ship and headed towards where he knew Falynn and General Jase were.
Looking down at his wife she now seemed more composed, even if she was still caked in sweat and dirt. Perhaps sending her to the fresher would be best, before having Mayea look at her wounds. Grabbing her cup, Falynn took a large swig downing the condiments inside of it before setting it rather roughly down onto the table.
"First," she stated as she wiped off some excess water with the back of her hand before lifting her finger in the air. "Let me just start with saying my plans and my intentions are not to head into the Resistance alone by any means. So at least let that thought should ease some tension that might be in your mind." Kylo rolled his eyes but listened as she continued. "I do believe though that there should be a small group that heads in. Probably no more than seven. Maybe even five. The smaller the group the less noise we will make."
"And who do you think those people should be?" Kylo queried as he placed a hand on the table. "Do you have any suggestions?" Falynn opened her mouth and Kylo quickly squeezed in. "That doesn't mean Henne." Falynn's mouth snapped shut, leaving Kylo to repress a chuckle while he suggested. "Do you know of any bounty hunters perhaps? Or assassins?"
"Why would I know of any bounty hunters or assassins?" Falynn's brows scrunched in bewilderment. "Wouldn't that be up more u[ your alley, Supreme Leader?"
She made a point. He was embarrassed to admit that he in fact did not know of many. Most of the individuals he had ever associated with had always been warriors and soldiers. Taking note of his silence, Falynn turned to General Jase who shook his head. With a sigh Falynn tilted her head back on Kylo's arm as she raised her hand up and pinched the bridge of her nose.
"Whether I go in there or not, even if you were to lead them in Kylo I don't believe these men are best suited for quiet work...maybe if you sent two of them in," Falynn ran her fingers back, tangling them more into her sweaty hair. "Perhaps if you and I went with just a couple of Stormtroopers that would be the better bet."
He was a bit surprised to hear this. "You want me to go into the base with you?"
Closing her eyes a soft smile touched Falynn's lips.
"I am not opposed to you being nearby, husband," Falynn's sea-colored eyes opened as she tilted her head back to look up at Kylo's helmet. Kylo was thankful that his helmet was covering his face, so Falynn and General Jase didn't see how much her eyes were affecting him. "I am smaller and can slip in the cracks while you and a few soldiers would be good back up." Her smile dropped as she moved her head off of Kylo's arm, which strangely felt more cold. "That being said, we might have to partially separate once we are in the base."
"Absolutely not!" Kylo snapped. "Falynn why can't you…" Kylo removed his hand from the table moving it to rub the back of his neck.
"You said you would hear me," Falynn scowled back at Kylo then turned to the General. "Do you think this is a bad plan, General? Be honest please. If we were to go into the base together, but leave me to slip through more silently do you think that would work?. Ren and the others wouldn't be too far from me, you believe I could do it right?"
General Jase grimaced for a second looking between Kylo and his wife. When Kylo gave him a nod allowing him to speak freely the older man spoke cautiously. "I think that it is an option. Falynn had proved today how limber she is, I believe that she could possibly do the job if that is what it comes down to. Unless we take up more time to round up some bounty hunters or assassins."
Kylo grumbled almost silently to himself.
He did not like this at all. It was true though, they didn't have much time left, and rounding up the resources they needed could be more trouble than it was worth. However, he didn't know if he could risk it. No matter how many times he had tried he couldn't erase seeing Falynn's crumbled bleeding body on that dark floor. He couldn't erase how silent she had been those first few days, the lack of color in her usual pale skin, and how broken she looked. Kylo didn't want to see it again, but he knew that they were limited on their choices. Falynn, as much as it tore at him to admit it, would not be a bad fit for the job. On top of her combat skills, Falynn was also a smaller frame, she wouldn't be as easily noticed.
Quietly Kylo said. "Let me think about it for a couple of days."
"Ren," Falynn began then stopped as Kylo moved his arm from around her so he could bang both of his fists onto the table.
"Falynn please don't push me on this!" Kylo yellowed before straining out another. "Please."
Falynn turned to General Jase who nodded his head, his dark eyes hardening in warning. Kylo flinched at the gentle touch that he suddenly felt on his back. Looking up he was surprised to see Falynn's expression was filled with understanding.
"Let me know in a few days time," she agreed softly then added with a small smile. "That being said when can we resume our training?"
Kylo shot up quickly turning toward General Jase.
The older man chuckled, raising his hands up. "Don't worry, my lord. I have no intention of telling anyone. I for one am not opposed to you helping our Empress becoming an even better warrior than what she already seems to be."
"I had to give my skills credit somewhere," Falynn winked then pushed on Kylo's arm. "Now get out. I need to stretch my legs...and get in the fresher. I am sure I smell awful."
Kylo grumbled at his wife, but did as he was told and scooted himself out of the small booth before standing. Falynn gave him another smile, before brushing her hand over his shoulder and walking towards the exit of the ship. General Jase stood up as well and walked himself over to stand next to his Lord as he chuckled again. "She really is something else isn't she?"
Kylo just snickered.
The sun had barely begun to rise and it had already begun to be a long day.
"Why in the force's name would you do that?" Mayea exclaimed as she lifted up Falynn's loose, red clean dress.
Falynn shrugged as she sat in the small stood that was located in the small medical quarters of one of the ships. "The man called me a bitch."
"So you decide to pull him out for a fight?" Mayea shook her head but smirked. "You are truly something else, Empress."
Empress let out a small laugh. "I have been getting that a lot."
Mayea returned the smile as she lowered Falynn's dress down. Falynn rolled her neck, and her shoulders relishing the feeling of her muscles flexing and pulling. After their brief meeting Falynn had gone straight to the freshers and thoroughly rinsed herself off, making sure there was no more dirt on grime on her. She had eyed the dirt in disgust as she had watched the red and brown drain around her feet. How Kylo and General were able to sit so close to her in that tiny booth was beyond her. Perhaps Kylo's helmet worked as some sort of gas mask which prevented him from smelling her, General Jase on the other hand must have just been bearing it. She was sure the two men had smelt far worse in their line of work, but she still felt embarrassed she had been so close to them in proximity. Falynn had quickly thrown on a red dress that had been brought to her sleeping quarters, along with some tall black boots. She hadn't bothered with her hair, and allowed it to just fall down in its waves, before she went to find Mayea. She wanted to get the inspection over with, where they could quickly assure Kylo she was fine.
"He didn't do much damage," Mayea said, sliding her chair over to her small desk and grabbing a needle. "However he did leave a rather large bruise. You will be fine though."
"Then why are you bringing that syringe over?" Falynn winced as Mayea held up the thin needle sliding back over to Falynn.
"Just to follow up," Mayea answered, dipping a cloth into a glass bowl before running it over Falynn's arm. "It doesn't hurt to take precautions, especially since we are on a different planet with a change of environment. This is simply a vitamin shot. I don't see anything else wrong but I don't want to chance that your immune system possibly went down after the attacks."
Falynn nodded, settling herself as Mayea set the cloth down then brought the needle to Falynn's skin. Falynn inhaled as the needle inserted her skin with a small pinch and allowing Mayea to insert the medicine in.
"It will take a few minutes for the vitamins to go through your body," Mayea noted to Falynn. "So bear with me."
Falynn nodded, and kept her body still. She hoped that this visit and Mayea's report to Kylo would do its job in easing her husband's mind. Falynn wished she could have seen his face earlier, even with his modified voice he had almost sounded pleading. He was scared to send Falynn in. She wasn't sure if it was his lack of faith in her or something else. Falynn didn't want to cling onto the hope that it meant more than what it probably was. If she did she would allow herself to feel emotions that she was trying to push down. Especially now in this crisis time, when she was so close to her previous company. On the sunnier side, Kylo having his own time to think gave Falynn more time to plan as well, so the situation was more delayed on their part than hers.
Pulling the needle out, Mayea lifted the wet cloth back up cleaning the small trickle of blood that seeped out of the small wound. "All done," she smiled. "Now can you please stop getting yourself in these messes, my ladyship."
Laughing Falynn stood rubbing her arm. "I will do my best, Mayea."
She decided that she wouldn't mention that there was a possibility that she would possibly soon be getting close to the Resistance. What would be the point? The decision hadn't even been made and if it had, Mayea would find out in due time. Falynn just had to wait, she knew better than to press the matter. If she did that would only make things worse. The solution she had come with herself, was not ideal though. She hadn't wanted to bring Kylo along, it would be much more risky with him there, but if they were unable to find more reliable resources than it was their best bet. It was also a stronger lead into convincing him. Standing up Falynn stretched her arms above her head letting a few more muscles stretch out.
"Thank you, Mayea," Falynn said during mid-yawn.
Mayea let out a soft chuckle as she did a soft pat on Falynn's back. "Anytime. my lady, let's go report to your husband. I am sure he is anxious to hear what I have to say."
Dropping her arms down, Falynn nodded in agreement and followed Mayea out of the medical quarters. Mayea had been stationed on one of their larger ships, one of the few that carried a medical facility. Kylo had instructed that Mayea strictly use hers only for Falynn. It was a bit of a stretch seeing how many troopers and officials were now on Geonosis. Perhaps his mind would change if there was somehow an attack or a battle. Shuddering Falynn hoped that would never be the case.
Waiting outside of the ship stood Kylo leaning against a metal pole that held up a towering canopy over a large amount of communications and controls.
"Good morning, my Lord," Mayea greeted Kylo, giving him a bow as they exited off of the ship's ramp. "We just finished with my lady's medical examination. She is-my lord?"
Eyes widened Falynn locking her gaze with her husband's helmet. Kylo was directly facing her, and making no means to hide the fact that he was slowly lowering his helmet. Falynn's cheeks heated as she looked down at her dress. She hadn't paid too much attention to what she put on, as she was in a rush to get to Mayea. The red dress was meant more for leisure wear, than to go wandering about a rocky landscape. The front of the dress was cut low enough revealing the swell of her breast in a lace cut. The bottom flared out almost blossom like just above her knees. Within a matter of seconds Kylo removed his black cape from around his shoulders, before he stormed over to Falynn and draped it over her.
"It's cold," he said, turning his head away.
"I am wearing long sleeves," Falynn tilted her head giving her husband a cheeky smile. "I think I will be fine." If she had embarrassed him, good riddance. It was good revenge for how he had pinned her against the chair earlier.
"Keep the damn cape on," Kylo softly ordered. Without looking away from Falynn he asked. "What are the reports on my wife's health, doctor?"
Mayea who had amusement etched all over her face responded. "She is in tip top shape, my lord. I did give her a shot of vitamins as a precaution due to her immune system possibly being lowered."
Kylo nodded his helmet still fixed on Falynn. "You may leave now, Mayea. I will call for you later if I need you."
Mayea bowed, cocking an eyebrow and sending a smirk towards Falynn before heading back toward the ship.
"Thank you, Mayea!" Falynn called after her then yelped as Kylo put an arm around her shoulder and pulled her away from the ships walking quickly through the controls.
Trying to pull away Falynn demanded. "Where are you taking me? Can you slow down!"
Kylo fussed quietly close to Falynn's ear. "It looks like you just got out of bed...what were you thinking walking around like that?"
"What do you mean?" Falynn knitted her brows together. "I took a shower and combed my hair."
"No," Kylo shook his head pulling Falynn closer in her attempt to get away. "How should I rephrase this...it looks like you are getting ready for bed."
Heat bloomed all the way Falynn's neck to her ears as she looked down at her red dress. "I didn't think my dress was that revealing. I just thought that it would be nice and breezy. Geonosis is not known for being cool you know."
Kylo let out a tired groan as he continued to pull Falynn towards the Quad A ship that Falynn had been stationed on. Officials and Stormtroopers were awake now and beginning to start their day. Seeing Kylo and Falynn walking by they all took a step back before bowing their heads to them. Some of them even stepped further back from Falynn. Lifting an eyebrow, Falynn looked up at Kylo.
Falynn dreaded to know the truth but she managed to push out the question as she watched more Stormtroopers stepping away from her. "What did you do before you met with me and General Jase?"
"I told them of your strength," Kylo responded, openly leading them up the ramp of the ship. "Then I displayed what would happen if they even thought of uttering a word of disrespect towards you."
Falynn sucked in her lips as she looked down.
So he had killed Telc. And it was her fault.
Arm still around her, Kylo punched the code into Falynn's room then nearly tossed her inside when the door opened. The push was forceful enough that it knocked Falynn off her balance, sending her to fall forward. Extending her hands out, Falynn braced herself on the bed before she turned around to glower at her husband.
"Do you mind!" she hissed out as she turned her head to look up at Kylo. "Is there really a reason to be so forceful...Ren?"
Kylo stood dead still directing his helmet straight down at her. Curious on why her husband had gone dead silent and stiff Falynn followed his gaze. Eyes widening she realized the dark cape that had been covering her was now gone, and her red dress fell forward revealing her red undergarments. Quickly hitting his hand against the control panel that was in the room Kylo rushed over to her as the door shut. Grabbing her shoulders Kylo pulled Falynn back having her dress fall back down.
"Those kinds of outfits," Kylo fingers gripped her shoulders. "I didn't give them to you, for everyone else to see."
"Ren," Falynn began as Kylo bent down picking up the cloak.
"Just shut up," he rasped out before throwing his cloak over her head.
Keeping his eyes on her back, Kylo lifted his hands and clicked his helmet before setting it down on the small dresser by Falynn's bed. Muttering what he sure were swear words under her breath Falynn lifted her hands to remove the cape off of her but Kylo quickly stopped her placing his hands over her own.
"Leave it," he instructed, his voice coming out raw.
Falynn 's hands flinched beneath his as she breathed out. "Yo-your helmet." Lifting her hands and gently removing his from her head Falynn turned herself around. "Don't worry," she reassured him as she lifted one of her hands up. "I won't take it off, but please let me."
Kylo was about to bat her hand away, until her warm fingers touched his face.
Without intending to, a sigh of relief escaped his lips. Her fingers were smooth and warm against his skin as she traced the lines of his face. He stiffened when she reached the scar, but allowed her to run her fingers down it. Falynn did so lightly almost reverently before cupping the side of his face. Every particle inside of Kylo was screaming at him to rip off the cape and to face Falynn directly, but he couldn't. He didn't have the courage to do so, but it felt so good to feel her touching him again. He hadn't known what had come over him when he saw her, why he had felt such a possessiveness over her. She had almost looked angelic standing in the dusty glow of the morning sun, with her copper waves falling over her shoulders in her red dress. Damn it, she even smelt good right now. After this morning he wasn't sure if he had much of a grip on himself. Not after what had been triggered in his mind remembering his wife's crumpled body, seeing her fight, watching her get injured, seeing her take down that bastard, then the thrill of being able to end his life.
It was all too much, and fuck it. Kylo wanted her.
Even for this moment he wanted her. He wasn't sure what would happen in the next few weeks and he needed this. He needed her. Placing his hands over hers Kylo dragged Falynn's fingers until they covered his lips. Gently kissing her fingertips Kylo laced their fingers together then pulled her middle finger with his teeth. Falynn gasped as Kylo moved his kisses down her hand and towards her palms.
Kylo's eyes slowly lifted looking at Falynn's face, and wished it wasn't completely covered. Keeping his lips on her hand his eyes scanned over the dresser. A smirk touched his lips as he touched her shoulder.
"Stay right there," he instructed as he turned toward the dresser.
Opening the top drawer his smile widened as he pulled out a long black sash then stood back up. Going back over to Falynn Kylo rubbed his hand down her shoulders before turning her around to face the bed.
"Don't turn around," Kylo leaned in, "promise me you won't turn around."
"I promise," Falynn's voice came out barely more than a whisper.
Removing the cape, Kylo lifted his arms over Falynn's placing the sash her eyes then securely tied it on the back of her head. Turning her back around Kylo traced a thumb over Falynn's lips that were pursed as her brows scrunched up. He silenced a snicker that threatened to sneak out at his wife's obvious confusion despite her blindfold.
"Why did you tie this around my eyes?" Falynn asked as she leaned in towards Kylo's touch. "Why did you do this instead of using your cape?"
"So," Kylo leaned in removing his thumb from her full lips. "I wanted to do this."
Dipping his head down Kylo took Falynn's mouth into his own as he wrapped his arm around her waist crushing her against him. By the force she tasted good. The last time he had kissed her it had been on the Star Destroyer. He had not realized how much he had ached for it, until that moment. Forcing her mouth open with his own, Kylo traced his tongue over the edge of Falynn's lips before moving his lips down to suck on her bottom lip. He was surprised when Falynn leaned into him opening her mouth up more for him. Letting out a groan deep within his chest Kylo took her face with both of his hands and moved her back until her legs hit the back of the bed. Not removing his lips from hers, Kylo pushed Falynn down onto her back before he leaned over her, bracing his hand on the side of her head. Falynn tilted her head back allowing Kylo more access to her, which he obliged to. Trailing kisses down her cheek, to her chin, Kylo scooped his arm underneath Falynn pushing her further up on her bed, where he could put himself closer to her. Moving his lips to her neck Kylo opened his mouth taking in some of her skin and lightly nipping at her neck with his teeth.
A moan escaped Falynn's lips as she raised her hips brushing them up against Kylo's.
Falynn moved her head allowing Kylo more access as she asked, "what has gotten into you? Where is this coming from?"
"I don't know," he rasped, moving his hand down Falynn's hips while he continued his kisses further down. "I don't know."
Kylo moved his lips back up, taking Falynn's again, sucking and pulling until he left them swollen. Lifting himself up allowing them both to breathe for a moment, Kylo took in his wife. Her copper hair was still fairly damp and once again tangled, her cheeks were flushed, and her lips red and swollen. His eyes trailed further down pausing on her chest, that was moving in slow up and down motions. Brushing some of his hair out of his face, Kylo bent down trailing kisses over Falynn's collarbone before pushing some of her dress dangerously low off her shoulder, where he could see the rounding of her breast. Staring at the skin hungrily Kylo moved his body further down taking in the swell of one of Falynn's breast into his mouth. Kylo opened his mouth tracing circles with his tongue.
"Oh!" Falynn gasped as she arched her body into him.
Kylo moaned at the movement as he continued to tease her skin with her tongue then ran his hand down the rest of the way to her side, over her hips, until it was on her bareskin.
"Kylo," Falynn groaned arching her hips more as if she were begging him to do more.
"Yes," he breathed over her skin, moving his mouth to the other side.
"N-," she whimpered as his teeth grazed her then clenched onto his hands. "Not with your gloves please."
Kylo paused for a moment as he looked at both of his hands to see that he was indeed still wearing his gloves. Sitting up for a moment, Kylo pulled off both of his gloves before tossing them both to the floor then scooping his arms under Falynn to lift her up. A surprised yelp escaped her lips as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"What are you doing?"
"Moving you and me to a more comfortable position," he answered, laying her back down to where her head was now laying against her pillow.
Kylo gently kissed her on the mouth before moving his mouth back to the swell of her breast and sliding his hand down Falynn's bare thigh. Once his hands touched her skin he was glad he had removed the gloves. She felt smooth and hot against him. Falynn's body jolted beneath his as Kylo's hand moved up the skirt of her dress. Arms still around Kylo's neck, Falynn tangled her fingers in his hair, pulling him closer to her. Kylo took the invitation and opened his mouth wider and began to suck on her fair skin, as his thumb ran circles over her thigh moving higher. Each movement of his hand Falynn's body arched into him beckoning with her body for Kylo to keep going.
When he reached where she was calling for him to go...by the force.
It was like a flame. The very flame that he knew burned inside of her.
Falynn cried out as Kylo's thumb ran over her and began to move. Kylo lifted his head away from her breast and snatched her mouth once again with his. Falynn opened her mouth greeting his tongue with her own. Kylo moaned as the heat of her touched his lips and his hands. Falynn's hips moved quicker with each stroke of Kylo's thumb until she pulled away from his lips gasping for air.
"I-I can't do this," Falynn shook her head. "Not like this."
Kylo's eyes widened to see a tear falling down Falynn's cheek.
Falynn lifted her hand and ran her fingers down the side of Kylo's cheek where the scar was. "No further," she pleaded. "Not until you let me look at you again. Please."
Kylo stared down at her at the sash that was tied around her eyes. Kylo reached out his hand then stopped hovering it above the sash. He couldn't do it, as badly as he wanted her he still couldn't do it. Removing himself off of her Kylo sighed as he ran his hand through his tangled black hair.
"I'm sorry," his voice came out dry and hoarse as he apologized. "Forgive me, Falynn."
Getting off the bed, Kylo bent down and picked up his gloves and slipped them over his hand. He grabbed his helmet then looked down at his disheveled wife who was still breathing heavily on the bed. A tightness inside of him caused Kylo's heart to ache, as he leaned down brushing some hair off of Falynn's forehead before gently kissing it. It was an apology, he knew she recognized that as a few more tears rolled down the side of her cheeks and onto her pillow.
Placing his helmet back on his head Kylo picked up his cape and he threw back around his shoulders. His movements felt heavy as he walked over to the door and pushed in the code. Before he left he turned once more as Falynn sat up untying the sash. When she pulled it off she turned to Kylo. Her sea colored eyes were still wet with tears but they didn't look as broken as they had before. Falynn was still holding onto that iron will.
"I will see you later this evening," Kylo said quietly, his voice once again modified and guarded. "Until then."
Closing the door behind him, Kylo felt a strange shift in the air.
It was probably his own feelings that were shattering inside of him.
