Chapter 2

Rey…. He was trying to open their bond but all he got back was silence. This enraged him. Standing on the bridge of the Finalizer he lost all his composure and did what Kylo Ren does best, destroy everything around him.

His lightsaber hummed to life and he started swinging, destroying computers, desks and anything else that stood in his path.

Why is she shutting him out? Can't she see that he did it for her? The Resistance was full of faulty ideals from the remnants of the Old Republic. None of the supposed Democracies had done anything for the galaxy except sprout corrupt politicians. Politicians who were more concerned with lining their pockets then actually creating order and peace. His anger continues to boil at this notion. She's a scavenger from the Rim, how could she be so blind. Democracy has done nothing for her shit hole of a home world, Jakku.

So, what if he tricked her into giving up the location of the resistance? He's a Sith, that is what Sith do, manipulate and deceive. But he did it for far more then power, he did it for love. Yes, Kylo Ren Prince of Darkness was in love, with Rey.

Fucking Bitch, he thought to himself as he started to level out his emotions. His tantrum had ended and he had left a mess of wires and broken instruments in his wake. The dark side feeds off his emotions and after these tantrums he feels powerful and more in control.

"I see your new position within the first order has taught you to control your temper", Kylo turned quickly to see Hux sneering at him with contempt from the doorway of the bridge. Oh, how he hated this man, fucking prick.

Kylo effortless lifted his hand to put Hux in a Force chokehold. "That's Supreme Leader Ren to you Armitage Hux", he snarled. He won't even give this man the respect to address him by his military title and he knew this would get under his skin. "Snoke isn't around to protect you or your position anymore so I suggest you find a way to make yourself useful to me"

Hux's face was wide with fear as it turned blue. Kylo released him and stormed off the bridge leaving a gasping Hux alone.

I will have order and respect. He mused. He killed his master, the great supreme leader Snoke, and he will not tolerate snarky irritating Hux challenging his authority.

He made his way back to his room still thinking about Rey. He removed his helmet and looked at his reflection in the mirror. His yellow eyes were jarring, even for him to look at. Killing Supreme Leader Snoke and the remainder of the resistance required a lot of darkness. He has been pulled so far to the dark that his eyes have turned into Sith eyes.

Kylo can't stand looking at them, it's just a reminder of how deep he has gone down the path of darkness. Yes, there had been conflict within him and the darker his power gets the stronger his pull to the light. That's why he wants, no needs Rey. She is the light in his life and she alone can cleanse him of the blood that is on his hands.

Gods, he needs her. He can feel his anger boiling again threatening to erupt.

He thinks back to his first encounters with Rey through the force after she had rejected him in the throne room. Kylo would find ways to open their force bond and appear to her. Those first few times he was angry. He would scream and curse her for not letting go, for standing with terrorists who do nothing to create peace, only bring more war. As time passed and the feeling of that initial rejection faded his resolve softened with her. He begged her to change her mind.

Ever since their first encounter in the woods on Takodana he had felt a connection with her. When she bested him in the forest on Starkiller that's when he knew, he wanted her. They had touched hands through their force bond, their hands connecting as if she was standing there with him.

A knock on the door to his quarters snapped him out of his thoughts. He quickly put his helmet back on so nobody would see just how dark he had become. He opened the door to his room with the force and a timid Lieutenant entered.

"Supreme Leader Ren," he trembled, "I'm s-sure you already knew this but the ceremony is s-soon".

"What Ceremony!" He snapped.

"T-the m-memorial for the late S-supreme leader Snoke"

Fuck, he had forgot about that, Kylo's patience is waning listening to this pathetic man who couldn't speak a coherent sentence without stuttering.

"W-we are also announcing the e-end of the resistance and the beginning of y-your rule, the shuttles are leaving f-for Coruscant s-shortly" he trembled.

Kylo doesn't reply, he's still lost in his thoughts about Rey. He dismisses the Lieutenant with a wave of his hands and heads to the hangar bay to board his shuttle.

His thoughts drift back to the first night he kissed her. She had just left a briefing where they were discussing ways to raise their numbers, since they had lost so many personal before they escaped Crait. Rey was back in her room changing out of her clothes when she felt his presence.

"Planning my demise?"

She blushed and fumbled to throw on a shirt before turning around to face him.

"I guess some privacy would be too much to ask for?"

His mouth curls into a smirk and winks at her, "For what it's worth I enjoyed the view"

Is he flirting with her? Rey rolls her eyes "What do you want now?"

"Just needed to see you", he says simply.

"Well I haven't changed my mind about anything, and I'm not in the mood to argue tonight Kylo it's been a long day".

His eyes grow dark and his smile fades back into the flat cold gaze, typical of Kylo Ren. His face is unreadable and that's what scares her most. When he gets into these moods he can become violent in seconds.

"We can end the war" he counters, his face still cold and unreadable.

Rey trembles with frustration. They've had this pointless conversation for weeks now, and it always ends badly. She turns him down and then he reacts in a violent outburst. She can see that this conversation is going to end exactly the same and she's tired of it.

"You mean killing my friends!" she yells. "Kylo Ren if you think I'm going to help you kill the only people who have ever cared about me, then you've really lost your mind". She points her finger accusingly at him and glares back at him. Now she's angry, and tired. Tired of being asked to join the dark side, tired of being badgered by this man child, and tired of being connected to Kylo Ren.

"Let the past die Rey!" His face is now flush with anger. "You're still holding on!" His fists clench and Rey cuts him off before he can continue.

"Of course I'm holding on! This is my family. My real family just dumped me in a desert and left me to die! So, fuck you Kylo Ren! Fuck you for expecting me to give that up!"

His face softens a little and he can't help but feel sorry for her. This sad girl who is so alone that she see's a bunch of murderous terrorists as her family. He looks at her face and behind the anger that is strewn across her face he sees, beauty. He can't think clearly and his eyes move to her lips. They are plump and pouty and he does something he never thought he'd do, he kisses them.

Rey's anger fell to confusion as Kylo Ren takes her face into his hands and kisses her passionately. The kiss lasts only second before he pulls away. She is speechless, unsure of what to say or even think. She may have even liked it a little.

Kylo is unsure how to read her reaction. She hasn't slapped him yet so that's good enough for him to continue. He pulls her back into another kiss and this time she is ready for it and reciprocates. He bites her bottom lip and her body melts around him as she moans with pleasure.

His hands slide gently from her face down to her hips and he wraps his big arms around her and pulls her closer to him. She gasps when she feels his bulge pressed against her leg. He moves his mouth from hers and kisses his way down her neck.

Gods-she's never felt this much pleasure in her life. She had no idea she could feel like this, no idea that Kylo Ren could make her feel like this. He slides his hand own lower over her hipbone and down her trousers. She squirms, cooing and mewling, arching and caving as he curls his fingers into the damp of her underwear. She is so wet and he's never been turned on by the feeling of her warm throbbing sex around his fingers. He can feel himself throbbing beneath his pants and there is nothing he wants more then to be inside her.

He removes his hand and her body responds in protest wanting more. Gently, he guides her back to the bed and lies her down without breaking their kiss.

She comes up for air and looks deeply into his eyes as if seeing him for the first time. Who knew that Kylo Ren could be so gentle? Kiss so deeply, pleasure her so effortlessly. This is the first time she is seeing him as he is, the man behind the mask and it almost moves her to tears.

Kylo sees the tears start to form in her eyes and his brows furrow in confusion. Has he hurt her?

"What's wrong? Am I hurting you?" He asks worriedly.

Rey shakes her head and the tears start to fall and she smiles up at him.

"No," she whispers, "I just never thought I could have this".

Kylo strokes her cheek and kisses the tears away.

"Rey you're an amazing woman. You survived growing up alone in a desert and any man who rejects you would be a blind fool". He asserts. She sits up slightly and tugs at his tunic. He complies and strips off the layers until there is nothing left but skin. She traces the scars on his chest and presses deep kisses into them, and he can feel himself getting hard again.

He peels her shirt and then follows with both of their pants until they both lay naked together. Kylo hovers over her brushing his member against her sex. She shudders as she grabs his waist pushing him into her. Their connection ignites.

Fuck she feels good. He groans as he pushes into her and she is rolling with pleasure beneath her. They merge as one and melt into each other. Her light shines through washing his dark sins away and it is almost like a drug. Yes, his call to the light is strong and Rey is the one that can cleanse him. They move in sync until they climax together.

He pulls out of her and she sighs feelings happy and relaxed. He pulls her over to him and wraps his arms around her and rests his head on her shoulder. She shivers beneath him.

"You cold?" he asks softly

"Yes. I'm always cold here. You can take the girl out of the desert but you can't take the desert out of the girl", she replies in a sleepy sexed stupor.

He pulls her tighter hoping to heat her up. "Where is here?" he asks

"Hoth," she yawns "I'll never come back here again when we leave," she asserts. "Luckily, I'll be off world recruiting tomorrow, I hate the cold".

Hoth—he muses. The Resistance fled to Hoth. His face curls into a dark smile and he kisses the back of her neck and she snuggles into him falling asleep. If she won't choose between him and the Resistance then he'll make that choice for her. Tomorrow she will be gone and he and his Knights can lead a strike team to take out what remains of the terrorists. Rey is his. After what they just shared he never wants to let her go, and the only way to do that is to destroy the past. It's the only way she can move forward. His eyes feel heavy and their connection fades leaving him alone in his room while Rey is alone on another planet.

The shuttle lands on Coruscant and Kylo is back in the present. Rey…he tries their bond again and the same silence fills the room.

He is alone, always alone.
