In the morning Kylo woke up before Rey. Before she woke up he made sure the cuffs on her were still secure but he loosened them a little so they wouldn't cut into her skin too much.

"Rey..." Rey started to move a bit in her sleep, thus making her buttocks move towards his penis that responded straight away to her movements.

"Rey." Kylo said again, a bit louder this time.

"Rey I've got work to do."

"What? What did you say?" Rey said groggy, newly awake.

"I need to get to work. Im needed on the bridge." There was no need to bother her with the details.

"I will leave some food and tea on the table. If there is anything else you need, use the com on the wall to contact me. You won't be able to contact anyone else, just me."

"Oh..." Kylo was unsure if Rey responded with an "Oh" to what he was saying or if she had just felt his arousal, it might have been both.

"How are you feeling today? I was a bit rough with you last night."

"Im a bit sore. But Ive heard that's rather common after... after your first... time."

"Mhum..." Kylo said, nibbling at Reys ear.

"Well I wouldn't mind giving it another go, but lucky for you now, you will have some rest because I have to go. I'll be back before night fall."

"Go? Night fall!? You mean you will be gone all day? What am I supposed to do?"

"You'll figure something out. We have a lot of entertainment avaliable through the com system that you can try out." Kylo said before getting out of bed and leaving her cold and vulnerable. Rey watched him put on some fresh clothes and asked

"What about me? Can you give me back my clothes now?"

"No. I like to know that you're naked, waiting for me here. Last night was just the beginning. I will give you so much more. If you need to adjust the temperature in the room more you can also do that with the com."

"Lucky me..." Rey sighed and pulled the cover over her head. In a few moments she heard Kylo's boots come towards the bed she was in and pause for a moment, but he didn't say anything for a while, until

"Rey, where is my lightsaber?"

"Damn it!" Rey turned red knowing full well that he could have chosen to feel the lightsaber through the force, but he chose to ask her about it instead.

"I... um... I put it in the trashcan." Rey mumbled beneath her covers.

"You what?" Kylo Ren said in disbelief.

"Put in in the trashcan." Rey heard a baffled sound from him and heared how Kylo Ren took a few steps to the trashcan in the other corner of the room and after a moment the recognizable sound of him turning on the blade.

"Well lucky for you its not trashed. I thought a scavenger like you knew better than to throw things away that are in excellent shape." He turned off the blade and with no other words she heard the door open and then shut and lock behind him.

Now she was all alone in his room. Alone, and naked. Naked, and in cuffs. Rey turned to the side and wondered how long it would be before nightfall. What time was it anyway? Being idle had never been Reys strong side. In the Jakku desert staying inactive for too long often resulted in starvation. She had learned the hard way that the scraps from others was what could put food on her table. Thinking of food... She was curious as to what he had left her besides the tea.

Rey wanted to get up but was afraid to get cold so first she rolled around in bed until she had gotten on top of the covers and somehow managed to roll them around her so she had something to cover herself with. She couldn't manage to tie the cover though, so she held it in place with her arms as best as she could when she got up.

On the table next to some tea there was a towel covering something. Rey almost dropped her own covers when she reached for the towel to reveal a big portion of bacon and eggs, batey fruit from Jakku, sweet muchaka, gratey and a whole loaf of bread. There were also even more rashions than an internal combustion engine was worth! She had food for at least a week! And besides tea there was also water, juice, green milk and coffee. She put some gratey on a piece of bread and the flavour was delicious! She couldn't even remember when she had gratey before. It must have been when she was in her late teens. Gratey was hard to make and some of the ingredients hard to come by. Rey ate in a leisurely fashion and ended the meal with some pieces of batey fruit and also burped, glad that noone could hear her. Rey tried to cover her mouth when she burped but the cuffs made movements hard when trying to hold the covers down with your arms at the same time. This wouldn't do.

Rey looked around in the room for any tools that could help her remove the restraints. She got up and walked around finding nothing and she was growling in frustration, turning back at the table when she saw the fork. That might do. On Jakku she had learned to be resourceful. And sure enough, within a few minutes, okay, maybe a bit more than a few, she could take the cuffs off. She massaged her wrists and decided to put her clothes back on. She walked into the bathroom, washed her face and put her hair up after brushing it with Kylos brush that gave her hair an amazing volume. But after that she was unsure on what to do. Kylo's home was very minimalistic and there was nothing on the com that interested her in the least at the moment. Rey ate some rations. Then, even though she wasn't the least bit hungry she still ate a piece of bacon. She even undressed and took a shower just to have something to do to kill time.

Rey wanted to examine the cuffs she had worn, but was afraid she might break them in the process and decided against it. Trying to figure out how much the time had passed she was afraid to be caught by Kylo with her cuffs off, so she undressed, careful to put the clothes back where they had been when Kylo left and dimmed the lights. She moved back into the bed and placed herself comfortably, after having fluffed up the pillow as much as she could, under the covers again and put the cuffs back on. Rey waited for Kylo Ren to get back, and waited, and waited... But eventually she fell asleep.

Kylo Ren stumbled back into his quarters much later than he had anticipated that night. What time was it? 4:30 am? He didn't know for sure. The room had a dimmed light and he tried not to make too much sound when he carefully took off his cape, but the sharp pain in his arm made him gasp as most of the adrenaline had worn off long ago.

Those inexperianced storm troopers had to be the ones to blame this time. The fact that Kylo had found himself mid battle thinking about a woman naked in his bed, waiting for him in his room had nothing to do with it. Kylo went to the com system, did a quick history check to see what Rey had been up to while he was gone, not much it seemed. Then Kylo called for an emergency droid to come and stich him up while he sat down to remove his boots and coat.

Rey didn't know when she had fallen asleep or what time it was when she woke up, but she did feel the unmistakeable smell of blood and the air had gotten heavier in the room since she had fallen asleep. At first she was startled and afraid but then she heard the rustle of clothes and saw Kylo Ren's tall, dark shadow in the corner. His hair in total disarray.

"Kylo?" Rey whispered.

"Yeah, yeah... it's me. Go back to sleep."

"Kylo what has happened? Is something wrong? I can smell blood."

Kylo sighed. He wasn't used to this. To having to explain or to talk to anyone. What was there to explain anyway? That the mere thought of her being there had thrown him off balance and it effected his work? That the thought of her moaning when he pleasured her made him, the great Kylo Ren, miss the attacker who came up on him from behind, stabbing him in his arm? That the shame was more painful to him than the physical pain since his subordinate officers saw it all happen? The rage he felt when he split the attacker in half or the lack of satisfaction after seeing him dead on the ground that was already covered in blood by the blood of his countrymen.

"Im waiting for the emergency droid Rey. Go back to sleep."

"Emergency droid? You're hurt?" Rey got up and pulled the covers around her the same way she had done in the morning, but this time with more speed. She walked over to him and kneeled down.

"Where? What can I do?"

He hesitated, not used to anyone caring about him, ever.
"Well if you like you could maybe grab me a towel for my arm because Im staining the floor with blood." And that he did. A small puddle of dark red blood had already formed on the floor under his arm and it was getting bigger at an alarming pace. Rey moved as fast as she could and grabbed a towel for him in the bathroom that instantly turned red when Kylo Ren pressed it hard towards his arm. Reys arms, in cuffs got stuck under his arm and it forced them to be closer than what any of them found comfortable at the moment. Had they really been intimate the previous day? It felt like a lifetime ago.

"You were away for a long time." Rey said quietly trying to make eye contact with Kylo Ren. Kylo ignored her and watched the towel that by now almost was entirely red.
"Yeah, things didn't go as planned."
"Oh..."
Rey tried to think of something more to say but was luckily cut off by the emergency droid that entered the room. They both sat in awkward silence as the droid stitched Kylo up again. There was still blood on the skin around the wound though.
"I'll go get some more clean towels." Rey said and fled into the bathroom for some more. She took one of the towels and wet it down for it to easier dry of the blood. Then she saw an ointment on a shelf and brought that along too.

"Can you make it to the bed?" Rey asked.
"I hurt my arm Rey, not my legs." Kylo huffed and got up and walked to the bed. "Lay down and let me get you clean." Rey said and carefully washed away the remaining blood that was left around the wound. The slow movements were almost compassionate, Kylo Ren thought. But could they really be? He was a monster in her eyes.

Rey then showed him the ointment and asked if it was for treating wounds to which he nodded affirmingly.
"If you remove my cuffs I can help you put some on." Kylo Ren almost seemed to have forgotten that she was still restricted in her movements by the cuffs even though they were so apparent to them both just a few minute ago when she had brought him the first towel.
"Yeah, hold on, I'll take them off." Kylo easily snapped them off and Rey rubbed her wrists shortly before reading on the bottle that it was good for wounds at all stages. She put some in her hand and very carefully rubbed it over the newly stitched wound on Kylo Ren's arm. Kylo was tense but didn't flinch.

"Let me know if Im hurting you." Rey said.
"Its all right. Im used to much worse." She bet he was. Once again she looked at all his scars from different ages and stages in his life. The biggest one, still made by her. She took some ointment and gently also put it on his chest without being asked to do so. She followed the scar that she had made in a vain attempt to do what? Heal it? Maybe make it hurt less?

The lightsaber had made such a big scar on his flesh she doubted that it would ever heal. But maybe the ointment could make it less painful? She put some more on other cuts and scars and saw Kylo lying in front of her with his eyes closed. Her small fingers on his broad chest with the oily ointment that made his skin feel like silk underneath her fingers. It must have been this ointment she had seen him with during one of their bonds. She started massaging him and his breathing quickly went down and he started to relax more and more until she suddenly heared a small snore coming from his lips. He was asleep!

Rey at first halted her movements, she didn't want to wake him. He was asleep, and she... she was free. He had taken away her cuffs so she could leave. With slow, careful movements she put the ointment down on the bedside table and went into the bathroom.

In the bathroom Rey was planning on putting her clothes back on and leave. Just get the hell out of there. She was. But when she removed the cover to get dressed and saw her own body in the mirror, it now felt more female somehow. She looked at her hips, her neck, lips and eyes. She didn't feel like the Rey she had been before all of this had happened. Before her teacher, the man now snoring in the bed outside of the bathroom had shown her what pleasure could feel like. The man, who... wasn't a monster? Could monsters really give such pleasure?

She was curious as to what else he could teach her. Was there more to this? What would happen if she stayed? Would he show her something new? She took her pile of clothes and put them in a neatly folded pile next to the bed so they were close at hand if she had a change of heart, then crawled down beneath the covers, snuggeling up close to Kylo Ren but careful as to not touch his arm by accident when she was sleeping. Within minutes her breath joined his and she, too, fell asleep.
