Hey everyone! Christmas season is upon us and I have lots of time to write. What would you like to see?
I really hope you're enjoying this so far, the soft anticipation of what might happen with Reylo... because I know when I saw the movie and I saw their connection... I almost wet myself ;)))) anyway. Lots of love to my readers! Please review or comment!
-Kylo's perspective
I stood overlooking the room which held all the ships, thinking about the voice I heard in my dreams last night. Rey's voice, small yet strong, whispering my name.
The AT-AT's were being loaded onto big carrying ships one by one- lifted into the open spaces of the transports. Crew shuffled behind me, their voices lowering every time they passed me. One conversation I overheard caught my attention.
"Did you hear?" They whispered.
"What?" Another answered.
"Rey, she's gone to find Luke in hopes to try and destroy us. That bitch thinks she can get to us. Thinks she's the Last Jedi. That squirt couldn't be a Jedi if she tried. Plus, we have their fleet on a string. Bitch can't get away." One more replied.
I whirled around on the balls of my feet, deserting the calming view of the loading docks and the sound of Rey's voice echoing in my mind.
"Shut the hell up!" I yelled and force choked the one who just spoke. I was burning inside. I know I shouldn't get so worked up over some... some girl rebel scum... but I couldn't help it. My emotions were out of control.
I gripped him tighter. His face went purple and his eyes bulged while the two men on either side of him ran away, not daring to look back at my fury being unleashed.
"Kylo Ren." A voice sounded behind me.
I released the man I was holding captive by the force and he fell to the ground, coughing and sputtering, drooling on the metallic floor.
The Supreme Leader stood behind me, his eyes narrow and a sly grin on his face.
"He got you worked up over the girl, did he?" Snoke chuckled as he walked closer to me. "You said you felt nothing, boy. That," he nodded toward the guy on the floor, now laying on his back struggling to regain his breath, "is not nothing."
I didn't answer right away. I looked away from the man on the ground back to Snoke and drew in a deep breath trying to chose my words right.
"I... I don't know." Was all I could come up with. I looked at the floor as Snoke approached closer, almost within arms length.
"Figure it out, boy. Or I'll have to find a new apprentice. And you won't like how I dispense of you." He closed off the last few feet of distance between us by force pulling me towards him. My arms were bound by my sides like large invisible ropes cuffed my arms and hands to my torso. I tried to look tough, like an impenetrable fortress of pure... something. I couldn't think of the word. I just knew I had to look tough.
Snoke traced my scar with his long finger, sending a fresh spurt of pain through the not-yet-healed wound. "You're just like your father. Weak and stubborn. Don't think you're immune to me just because I train you, boy." Snoke stared at me a second longer then let go and walked away, leaving me with the heaving man a few feet from me.
Rage ripped through me. I ran over to the man and gripped the hilt of my lightsaber. Red flashed through the air as I plunged my saber into the man below me, closing my eyes to remember how it feels to take a life. But the feeling didn't come. It was just me and a now dead man, with no hallelujah chorus singing, "Yes. You Killed him! You watched the life leave his eyes. You're so bad, you're so amazing."
I put my saber back onto my belt and wiped my hair from my eyes.
"Someone clean this up!" I yelled down the corridor in hopes someone would hear me.
Fucking A. I need to shower.
When I reached my room I started the shower. The bathroom immediately started to fog up, covering the glass mirror with steam while I undressed and took off my shirt and shoes- I stopped.
"Rey." I said aloud. I knew she was behind me even though I couldn't see because of the mirror.
"Of course this would happen while you're half-naked." Was what she retorted. "Could you put a cowel on or something?"
A smile crept across my lips. Half-naked.
"It's nice like this." I replied. "Plus, I'm not getting in the shower clothed." I turned around to see the girl standing straight, looking down to try not to look at my bare skin.
"You called my name last night." I said as I took a step toward her.
"Yes." She replied. Her hands clenched open and closed out of nervous habit. Her eyes quickly glanced up to me then back to her shoes.
"Why?" I pressed on, slowly coming closer to her.
I could hear her heart beating faster, the energy coming off of her was palpable, almost thick enough you could stick your tongue out and taste it.
She looked up as I took my last step near her. She didn't answer. She just stared into my eyes and took in deep breaths as if secretly saying "calm the hell down."
"Rey." I whispered.
"Your wound looks like it's healing nicely." Rey said. She reached up to touch it out of impulse but stopped before her fingertips met the almost healed scar. She lingered over it.
"It's alright." I said. "You can touch it."
Rey's eyes looked back and forth between my eyes and my scar. Her breath became quicker yet lighter and she pursed her lips together. Her eyes settled on the scar and they trailed down to where it ended, then came back to the top.
Slowly, her shaking fingers finally made contact with my skin. It didn't hurt like when Snoke touched it. This time, it was loving, caressing, passionate. I took in a sharp breath as she traced her finger down from my eye, to my cheek, down my neck, then landed on my chest. Energy seared through my veins like a shock wave from her finger, pulling deep on my stomach. I wanted to close my eyes, but I wanted to look at her, look at her face, soft and delicate.
"I'm sorry." She whispered as her eyes slowly rose to meet mine. "Please-"
"Shhhh." I breathed. My hand rose to meet hers on my chest. My heart was pounding and I knew she could feel it, but I could hear her pulse too. It was just as rapid as mine. We searched each others eyes. Her hand was warm and delicate beneath mine. Energy poured from her fingertips onto my skin, awakening a deep hum in my chest and... other areas...
Before I could think her mouth was on mine, her lips on my lips, holding steadily and softly. My free hand reached for her hip, reaching under her shirt, digging my thumb into her smooth skin right above her hip bone. She inhaled against my mouth at this touch.
Rey's hand trailed up to my head and gently tugged at the hairs on the nape of my neck, slowly deepening the kiss we were sharing. My loins were on fire, aching for Rey to be closer to me. I pulled her to me, wrapping both of my arms around her tiny frame, holding her tightly like she might disappear at any moment, because she very well could.
She moaned into my mouth and I pressed against her, trailing my hand slowly up her back, under her shirt.
I turned us around and walked her backward to the sink for her to sit on top of. She wrapped her legs around me and she opened her mouth wider for me. My tongue explored hers and thousands of fireworks exploded with each touch. Our breath was getting heavier and it was getting hotter in here with each passing moment. I turned and I reached to turn the hot shower off but fumbled with the knob as she continued kissing my neck and ear.
"I can't turn this off if you're distracting me." I said in a low grumble. But she continued.
"Leave it." She said in between kisses.
I closed my eyes as she hit a soft spot between my neck and shoulder. I grabbed the knob and pulled from the intensity of her kiss, but slipped as I finally turned it off, pulling her with me.
We fell to the floor in a heap, tangled in eachother. She was laying under me, laughing in a satisfying and enjoyable tone. Her hair was strewn over her face and the floor.
I looked down at her. Her small body firmly planted on the ground while also slightly touching every soft spot of my body. Her laughing made me smile. I leaned on one arm and used the other to move her hair from her eyes. Her laughing slowed as I moved her hair and cupped her cheek. Her eyes were shining and she smiled.
"Ben," She whispered as she lifted her head from the ground.
I leaned down to kiss her to stop her from speaking when suddenly no one was beneath me anymore. Rey had vanished and my hand lingered in the air where I once touched her pale and smooth cheek.
Shit.
