Chapter 10: Mine to hold

When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her

Luke met Leia and what felt like half the Resistance in the conference room, even though he knew it was no more than fifteen of their most trusted officers, fighters, pilots, and the like. Spending years as a lonely hermit sure contributed to a serious social anxiety he didn't know he possessed, and having all eyes on him as he walked through the doors didn't help either. He found Leia and stood by her side feeling more comfortable being with his sister even if everyone was still watching him.

When the last bit of people filed into the room, including Finn and Poe, the meeting began. Luke's mind wandered off to his days with the Resistance, standing in this room with Leia, Han, Chewie, and Lando trying to figure out their next plan of attack against the Galactic Empire. He thought of his father and how even though Darth Vader was brought back to the light, he couldn't truly save Anakin Skywalker. But now they had a chance to rescue Ben from the clutches of Snoke and the First Order. Ben who he could have saved long ago but was to blind to see what was happening to his wonderful nephew. He won't lose another family member to the dark side again.

Leia nudged Luke's side after she noticed his mind had drifted off. A wave of sadness washed over her, she knew what he was thinking and feeling. He was blaming himself for Ben, their father, and all things wrong with the galaxy. She may not be as powerful with the force like her brother or father but she could since the emotions of those around her. Another wave of despair washed up on the her shore, if she could sense these emotions why couldn't she sense Ben's? She could have saved her precious Ben. She felt Luke give her hand a reassuring squeeze, he knew what was going on in her head too. Nothing would ever be easy for her family or anyone around them she thought, the Skywalker Curse she called it.

"Luke, I have heard you know the whereabouts of Kylo Ren, the First Orders most prized and fearless leader under Snoke," said one of the commanders amongst the crowd.

Luke gave Leia a quick and nervous glance as the room got quiet and all eyes fell upon him again, she gave him a brief nod and smile to let him know all is alright. "Um, yes. Yes I do," he stuttered.

"Would you mind telling us where he is?" the commander asked.

"He is safe, and he's where he won't hurt anyone. Might I ask you what you plan on doing when I tell you where he is at?" inquired Luke.

"Well, that's classified," the commander replied. Luke gave her a skeptical look, he didn't like not knowing what would happen to his nephew when the Resistance did find him.

"It's okay Luke, I will be monitoring everything they do. Our Ben won't get hurt," Leia whispered to Luke. They needed the information and she would do all she could to make sure her son was treated fairly when he got here.

"Alairian. It's a small planet in an unknown system," he finally answered.

"Might I ask why he is there?" Questioned the Commander.

"His ship crashed there after it got knocked off course and suffered serious damage during an attack on the Finalizer."

"Thank you Luke if we have anymore questions we'll ask," said the commander. Luke gave a nod and walked swiftly out of the conference room no longer wanting to be around so many people doing nothing but staring at him.

Leia followed him out the doors, she needed to talk with him and right now may be the best time with everyone in the conference room. "Luke," she called after him. "Why didn't you tell them about Rey?"

"Imagine what they would think if they found out she was there with him, I believed it was better not to say," he answered.

Leia was about to speak again when a lower ranking computer staff member ran down the halls. "General," he cried. "General Organa, one of our spies on the Finalizer just reported in saying they found Kylo Ren and were deploying ships to an unnamed system. They should be there in a day or two."

"Oh god. Ben," Leia gasped.

"Rey," Luke said with a worried gulp.

On Alairian the sun was beginning to shine through the windows lighting up the cabin where Ben and Rey slept soundly on their little cot. Ben held her close him, his arms were wrapped around her, her back was pulled all the way to his chest, and her head was nuzzled under his chin. He held her like he was afraid someone would take her from him in the middle of the night. And she let him hold her. He may be known as Kylo Ren to everyone else but to her he was Ben and she felt safe in his arms.

Ben woke up first, the sun rays shined in his eyes but he held all the light in the universe in his arms, his Rey. His beautiful Rey. Mine. He felt her begin to stir next to him and realized she must be waking up too. Rey turned in his arms and snuggled closer to his chest which was covered in his soft, thin black undershirt. His arms wrapped around her tighter and a smile graced his lips, oh how he wished he could wake up everyday like this.

Sleep well? she purred in his head loving the feeling of being this close to him. "Mmhmm," he hummed. "You?" he asked, his voice quiet and calm from just waking up. Of course, she smiled. She tilted her head and found a smile adorning his beautiful face. Oh how she loved to see him happy, it was the best sight in all the galaxy, she thought. She leaned forward and put her lips to his, she wrapped her arms around his waist, chest, neck, then eventually found purchase in his hair. The kiss which started out sweet and kind grew more heated when Ben's possessive hands drew her in closer. However, uncomfortable with her position, Rey broke the kiss and crawled on top of him, straddling his hips. Yes, this is much more comfortable, she thought to herself. And the view is much better, Ben answered back, squeezing her hips and staring up at the her pert breasts. She laughed and leaned back down meeting his lips again. Ben moaned when he felt her tongue sneak into his mouth, he like it when she took charge, but now it was his turn.

Ben grabbed her waist and flipped her on her back so that he was now hovering over her. He laughed when a small squeak slipped out of her at the sudden change of position. Rey looked up seeing his hair cascading around his face and his eyes black with lust. She gasped when his swollen lips pressed open mouth kisses to her neck and collarbone. His hands traveled up her waist, under her shirt, and up to her breasts. Her hips involuntarily bucked up against his which earned her a growl from somewhere deep in his throat. He began massaging her breast with his lips still on her collarbone. Rey pushed him off of her and he immediately thought he had done something wrong till her hands grabbed her shirt and pulled it over her head, followed by her breast band. His lips instantly found their way to her right breast, one of his hand to the other, before self consciousness could creep into her mind. She moaned at the feeling of his mouth on her body and her hands which had found their way into his hair, gripped tighter at the silky raven locks.

His mouth moved to her other breast, he licked, bit, and kissed her nipple making her buck her hips with a sigh. One of Rey's hands strayed from his hair and moved down his back under his shirt, she could feel the imperfections on his skin, but how she loved his battle tainted skin. Each scar made him who he was, she loved the little things that made him her Ben, and she loved him. Ben's head shot up making a pop sound as his mouth left her wonderful mound of flesh. He looked deep into her eyes before hungrily capturing her lips with his. She wrapped her legs around his waist as he devoured her, tongues and teeth clashing. He knew that her lips would be swollen and there would be little bruises on her neck, collarbone, and breasts, he smirked at the thought. Anyone who looked at her would know she was his and his alone. His Rey. Mine, he growled possessively against her lips.

Rey tugged at his shirt, off, she sighed into his mind as his lips found he neck again. Ben removed his lips from her body and lifted his shirt off in one swift motion. He was about to return his mouth to her delicate skin when he caught he staring intently at his newly exposed flesh. Rey traced her fingers along his scars and the muscles on his chest and arms making him shudder. She liked having this power over him, having the ability to make him sigh against her lips, shudder at her touch, moan at the feel of her body against his. Mine, she cooed into his head as she brought her lips back to his. He was hers as much as she was his; they are one, mind, body, and soul.

Ben's hands traveled down her body to the waistband of her pants and grabbed the material. He broke the kiss and looked into her eyes, Rey nodded and he kissed her hard on the mouth before his lips trailed to her neck. He lips went down her body, he kissed he breasts again and she arched her back with a moan. He kissed her stomach relishing in the noises she was making. When he made it to her pants he slowly pulled them down along with her underwear. Rey gasped when his lips met the spot that no other man has ever gotten close to. Not even the traitor or the pilot? Ren asked, dipping his tongue into her. "No," she gasped as his tongue entered her. He smirked against her folds, feeling pride and possessiveness over her. He kissed more of her slipping a finger into her wetness making her squirm with pleasure. Ben could feel her getting tighter around his fingers so with a final kiss to her center he pulled out of her earning a whine which made him chuckle.

Rey's hands went down to his pants and started tugging at them. Ben sat up and grabbed her hands pulling them away and he held them in his. He looked into her eyes, "Are you sure?" he asked. She nodded with a small reassuring smile. "It's going to hurt at first."

"I know," she said, the smile still on her lips.

"If you want me to stop just tell me and I will," he said,thinking he might not actually be able to. She brought his lips to hers. It was a soft kiss, one of love, telling him all he needs to know.

Ben pulled his pants off and found her staring at his member, a smirk graced his lips. He lined himself at her entrance, It's going to hurt, he said again. Rey gave him another sweet smile ushering him to continue. He pushed into her as slowly as he could but he wasn't able to repress the moan that escaped his lips. He paused when he heard her make a noise of discomfort, " I'm sorry sweetheart. I'll stop if you wish me to." No, she answered, I just need to adjust. He stayed still till she told him to go on. He pushed further in carefully, letting her adjust. When he felt her discomfort turn into pleasure through the bond and her hips began to grind against his, he moaned and pulled out before cautiously going back in. Hearing Rey moaning at the feel of him in her let him know it was okay to pick up the pace.

He pulled out and plunged right back in. Rey gasped his name as he continued to bury himself in her. Ben groaned as he placed his lips on her breast, licking and sucking her nipple into his mouth. She wrapped her legs tight around him pulling him deeper into her and so she was able to match his thrust better. Her arms grasped around his shoulders and back, and her hands gripped his silky hair. He pounded into her and she all but screamed his name when he hit that perfect spot deep inside of her. Oh how he loved that, being the one to make her scream in pleasure, pleasure that he is giving her. Mine. His thrusts become deeper and harder and he could feel her beginning unravel in his arms, at his touch, by him being buried in her.

Rey was overwhelmed by all the sensations she was feeling. His mouth on her beast and him being in her. She felt an unfamiliar feeling building up in her stomach knowing that it was her impeding release. Rey moaned and gasped at his powerful thrust and his hands massaging her breasts and her center. Ben felt her tighten around him realizing that her release was close, so he pushed himself faster and unrhythmically into her, making sure to hit that perfect spot deep in her. Her string that connected her to everything beyond her pleasure snapped and she felt herself fall hard into her release screaming and moaning as pleasure rolled over her in waves.

He continued to thrust into her, his own release building up fast. "Ben!" she screamed and that's all it took for him to come over the edge and spill into her. He moaned her name into her skin, over and over like a prayer, thanking the stars for bringing the together. His light. His Rey. Mine.

They laid there tangled in each others embrace, feeling peace and balance through the bond. Ben detached himself from Rey, she looked at him with confused eyes and he felt worry coming off of her as he got off the bed. Whatever doubts she had vanished as he leaned down, picked her up, and carried her to the refresher outside. Her legs wrapped around his waist as he carried her. Ben turned the refresher on with the force and cool water cascaded down their bodies. He looked her in the eyes and not being able to resist her, he pushed her into the wall and kissed her with hungry, fiery passion. His tongue danced against hers and he felt her sigh into his mouth. How did he get so lucky, he wondered. Just thank the stars, Rey spoke in his head.

Ben kissed all up and down her body, her neck, collarbone, he took one of her breasts into his mouth while one hand massaged the other. Rey's legs wound tightly around him, her hands grasped his hair as she slowly became undone between his body and the wall. She grinded her hips against his, a subtle beg for more, and he moaned at the feeling. He lined himself up again before thrusting into her, strong and agile. He growled into her skin with every one of her moans and gasps, each was his name. It didn't take long for either of them to come, screaming each others name. The bond they shared amplified their pleasure to the other, they felt nothing but love, lust, and the others body against theirs. They saw nothing but stars in their lovers eyes, a shared universe between the two of them. Mine.

Rey untangled herself from Ben as he set her down back on the ground. Her legs wobbled an she had to grab onto him to stay steady. A small laugh escaped his lips as he watched his beautiful little scavenger try to regain balance. She was so beautiful. Her hazel eyes were filled with wonder and love as she looked into his. Her hands which were gripping his muscular arms gently let go graced over his skin till they were on each side of his face. Rey pulled his lips down to hers and kissed him with soft passion.

Their time in the fresher lasted a little while longer as the cleaned themselves form their earlier activities. Rey's stomach made a loud noise signaling it was time to eat. They went back inside and got dressed before they got the rations and ate.

Ben snarled out of nowhere giving Rey a little fright. "What?" she asked with worry in her voice.

"We have to train or Snoke's going to hurt you," he said. A small oh yeah, left Rey's sadden face. Ben got up from his seat, picked up Rey and sat her in his lap. "I know you don't want to do this, nether do I. But we have no choice. Snoke will hurt you, he will destroy you and all that you love, and I can't let that happen. I can't see you get hurt." She nodded in understanding. "I love you Rey," he sighed as he kissed her temple.

"I love you too, Ben," she said and he pulled her closer to him, not wanting to ever let go. She was his light, his little scavenger, his Rey. Mine.

"Please tell me you don't plan on us sparing. I'm still a little sore from this morning," Rey said with blush coloring her cheeks.

Ben smirked. "No I was thinking of Force training," he replied. Rey nodded looking down at the sand. Her face was sunken, knowing that they have no real choice in the matter of how and why she trained. Hey. Rey, look at me. When she looked up into his eyes she could see the light in him, it made her shudder. He grabbed her face in his hands. His long fingers trailed behind her ears into her hair. "We're going to get through this. And I promise you, when we do the light shining in you will be as blinding as ever."

Tears sprung up in her eyes as he spoke. Her tears began to fall as he put his lips on hers. His soft, sweet mouth conveying love and reassurance without having to say a word. Ben pulled away and set his forehead against hers, his thumbs wiped away her tears. She smiled at him, she knew he would never let her turn to the dark side, he doesn't want her to suffer the same fate he did. That's right, he whispered in her mind. He leaned down and kissed her nose and a cute little giggle escaped her lips.

"Follow me," Ben said, extending his hand for her. She took it and walked along side him till they got where they were going. They stopped about ten yards away from the Kylo's crashed Tie-Fighter. Nothing had changed, Rey noticed, from the day she pulled him out of the burning wreck. "Do you see where the wing is still attached to the pylon?" he asked.

"Yes," Rey responded. She looked at it, the pylon had broken off from the pod where the pilot sat, but somehow the wing was still connected.

"Now feel the Force, feel it surrounding you and the wing. Try to lift it."

"Lift it?" Rey scoffed. "When Master Luke tried to teach me to use the force I could barely pick up pebbles!"

A light laugh left Ben at her exasperated comment. Rey shot him a pointed look which made him only laugh even harder. "Rey you are so strong with the Force, you should be able to lift mountains by now," he told her. Her face fell again, she knew she had the Force and that it was strong within her, she just didn't think she was capable of much. With a frown on his face Ben spoke again, "You are able to do so much Rey. I saw it on Takodana and on the Starkiller, and I see it right here right now. I see so much light and power in you Rey, you can lift up half of that Tie-Fighter."

Ben stepped behind her. He grabbed lightly at her hips and turned her to face the debris, next her arm and aimed it that way too. "Close your eyes. Don't think too hard, just feel the Force surrounding the ship," he spoke softly. "Feel the force in you. Grab it, hold onto it, and lift up the ship the best you can."

"Ben, I don't think I -" Open your eyes, he interrupted. A great smile filled her face and joyful tears began to fall when she opened her eyes. Not only had she lifted the wing and pylon, she lifted every other scrap of the ship that was on the beach. The rubble hovered fifteen feet in the air, Rey couldn't believe it. "That's not you? Right?" she asked turning to face Ben whose smiled mirrored hers.

He held up his hands in defense, "Nope." Rey squealed as she jumped and wrapped her arms around Ben's neck, tears falling like a calm spring shower. The debris crashed back to the ground frightening both Rey and Ben. Rey yelped and jumped out of Ben's arms. After the shock faded away they both burst out laughing. They laughed and laughed, falling on the ground, gasping for breath, and clutching their sides.

Ben continued to train her till the stars came out and the ocean breeze was chilling them to the bone. They walked back to their little hut and ate again. Rey stood in front of the dirty old mirror and untangled her hair from the simple, single bun on the top of her head. Ben watched her mesmerized by her soft, honey brown hair falling down her shoulders. He got up and walked over to her. She met his eyes in the mirror and smiled as he stood behind her. He moved her hair over her right shoulder to the other side of her back, leaned down and kissed her neck.

Rey moaned as he trailed open mouthed kisses up to her jaw. She turned around and placed her lips on his. Ben grabbed her ass and lifted her up. She gasped in surprise; he used her shock to sneak his tongue into her mouth, deepening the kiss. He carried her to the bed and crawled on top of her, his lips never leaving hers. Mine.

They came over the ledge again, seeing stars stars on the fall back from their climax. Ben held Rey close as they slept peacefully that night, it was the most peaceful sleep they had in a long time. Their dreams showed them traveling the stars together with a child among them. They were a family who made their home in the stars.

Author's note: I really hope you all liked it. I couldn't find a planet from the Star Wars universe that matched the description of the one Kylo Ren and Rey are on, so I came up with my own. I hope it is to y'alls liking. This story used to be rated T but obviously because of this chapter I switched it to M. Please review, I would love to hear what you all have to say. More coming at some point in time. Thanks for reading :)
