Padme felt the fury in Hux's body, as he lifted his head and stared angrily at Kylo. She was finally able to freely access his mind. His next thought took her by complete surprise.
"I should have killed you Ben, when I had the chance!" was what she heard.
He called Kylo Ben. Kylo was Ben, her Ben! Now she understood. He did not respond to her because he knew if Hux found out she knew Ben and Kylo were the same person, Ben would die and she would be forced to be the general's lover, or worse.
Ben did not hear what Hux had thought. He was truly terrified for Padme's safety. He wanted to yell at her to stop speaking, but he couldn't. He was the reason why she was strapped down, nearly naked and afraid of what Hux would do to her.
Padme knew she needed to formalize a plan of escape with Ben. But she could not do so while still bound to the interrogation apparatus.
"General Hux, I think we can reach a compromise, and we will both get what we want," Padme told her captor. Hux focused his attention back on her.
"How so?" he asked, as he caressed her arms. Trying to ignore the pleasure it was giving her, Padme replied,
"Let me sleep with Kylo Ren tonight. Then, if he does not want me, I will be your lover and bear your children."
"And what do you want in return?"
"I want Ben set free, to no longer work for the First Order."
"No, Padme!" Kylo cried out to her through the Force.
"I cannot do that. Ben reveals where the Rebel bases are for me," Hux mentioned.
"General," Padme whispered, as she leaned closer to him. "I can replace Ben. I can reveal where the bases are." She then started to kiss his neck. Hux let out a soft moan. After a minute of her lips being on him, he gently pushed her back and asked,
"You would be willing to do this, if I let Ben go?"
"Yes," she admitted. Hux saw that she was not shocked when she said this. He smiled at her and said,
"Ok. You can be with Kylo Ren tonight. But if he is not pleased with you, then you are mine. Once you submit yourself to me, I will free Ben, and then you will take his position. Are we in agreement, my dear?"
"Yes." Padme gave him a small smile, even though she wanted to kill him.
"Let's seal this deal with a kiss." Hux placed a soft kiss on Padme's lips. He crawled off of her and released her from the restraints.
"I got you," he added, as she almost lost her balance getting off the interrogation apparatus. To be able to touch, even just to keep her from falling, made the general desire her even more.
"Release him from the restraints," Hux commanded the Stormtroopers. They released Kylo.
"Come hold my future Empress," the general told them. As they held Padme, Hux walked over to Kylo and softly warned him,
"Remember the serum. If you do not sleep with her, she will die. And if she dies, so will you."
Kylo could only nod his head. Somehow, Hux was going to pay for all the evil he committed against him and Padme. It took all of his willpower to not choke him now!
The general walked back to Padme. He caressed her cheek and told her,
"Remember what I said, Padme. If he is not pleased with you, then you are mine." He gave her a soft smile.
"Take them to Kylo Ren's quarters!" he demanded. The soldiers escorted Ben and Padme out of the room. After they left, Hux picked up the discarded robe Padme had worn before the interrogation.
"Soon, my dear, you will be in my bed," Hux thought to himself. "Once you find out Kylo Ren is actually Ben Kryze, your poor heart will be broken. And I will be there to pick up the pieces!"
A few minutes later, Padme and Kylo entered his quarters. She knew Ben would be upset with her for what she did, but she had no choice. They needed to think of an escape plan without Hux being around.
"Are you insane?" Ben yelled at her. "Do you think Hux will hold up his end of the deal?"
"I do, KYLO," Padme emphasized. "You saw how badly he wants me as his lover. Hux is a narcissist to the core!"
"So now what? I am suppose to make love to you? Do you really think Hux will give up on having you, if I keep you?"
Padme glanced around the room, and saw security cameras everywhere. Then she had an idea.
"Excuse me," she uttered, almost pushing Ben aside. She entered the bathroom, and looked all around. There were no security cameras. She and Ben could have complete privacy.
"Come here," she motioned to Ben. "There are no cameras in the bathroom."
He did not want to, but he saw the determination in Padme's eyes. So he joined her in the bathroom. Ben locked the door behind him and turned to face her.
Padme quickly pressed herself against Ben. This took him off guard. How he wanted her! She looked amazing in that lingerie set she was wearing.
"Padme," Ben began to protest, as she started to touch his chest.
"You want me," she cooed.
"No, Ben..." Padme's hands went to his neck.
"Don't fight it. I want you, too."
"That's the drug talking. You were just kissing Hux a minute ago!"
Padme continued to touch Ben. He felt his private area ache for her.
"Padme, please! This is not right. Think of Ben!" he begged her.
"I am thinking of Ben. I always think of him," she uttered softly. She continued to touch his body.
"I am safe when I am in his arms. I want him to know he is safe in mine," Padme added, as she reached to touch Ben's mask.
"Padme," he groaned, not really wanting her to stop what she was doing.
"Ben, please take off your mask, so that I can kiss you," she sweetly said.
Ben was stunned. She knew! But how...
"I will tell you how later. Please remove your mask, so that I can finally see your face," Padme insisted.
She pulled her hands away, so that he could take off the mask. He laid it gently on the ground. Then he kissed her.
"You are even more handsome in person," Padme confessed, as her hand touched his cheek.
"My princess, you are even more beautiful," Ben replied, gazing at the woman he loved. "I am sorry about your parents and your friends." Ben drew Padme into a tight embrace.
"Caleb's mom also died. That poor little boy!" Padme tried fighting back the tears. "Thank the Maker he is with Ezra. But my parents and his mom died happy. There was a double wedding I missed." She weakly smiled at that thought.
"Again, I am so sorry..."
"I know, Ben. You understand. You saw Mandalore blow up."
"But it's different. All my relatives are dead. Yours were still alive, until Hux..."
"Can we not talk about Hux for now? We will make a plan to escape, but for now..." Padme said, as she tugged at Ben' shirt. "We need to make love to each other."
Ben grinned, before kissing Padme.
"I wish this was Naboo," he confessed, as he pulled away from her. He began to undress.
"I told you before, I will be with you anywhere you are," Padme reminded him. She approached Ben and started kissing his bare chest. He wrapped his arms around her.
"Padme, if you don't want to do this..."
"We must. This drug is real. My body was reacting when Hux touched and kissed me. I will die if this doesn't happen." She knew Ben's concern.
"Ben, you are not your father. You are not forcing yourself on me. I want to make love to you. And I know you want this, too," Padme reassured him, before she grabbed his underwear and pulled it down. He stepped out of them, and she stepped back to gaze at his naked body.
"I guess I should go make the bed," Ben offered, hoping Padme was pleased by what she saw.
"No, Ben. Our first time will be here, where I can get to wash that gorgeous body of yours," she replied, pointing to the shower.
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely. Remember you said that cold showers didn't help you, because you would imagine me there with you? Now you no longer have to imagine."
Ben grabbed her and passionately kissed her. He pulled away momentarily as he went to turn on the shower. They made out as the water warmed up.
He stepped into the shower first. The water was nice and warm.
"Come in, my love," Ben beckoned her. Padme approached, and he helped her take off the negligee and panties. He enjoyed staring at her nude body as Padme joined him in the shower. Finally, the moment they had been waiting for had arrived.
