Chapter 24:

A week, Kylo, Rey and Phasma had been on this lousy planet for an entire week and nothing had changed. They hadn't learned any new information about Zroyais and his lot. His mother was still pretending Kylo wasn't around, as usual. The old man was nowhere to be found. Rey had all but forgotten about their training and went back to what she was doing before she came to the Vengeance. Phasma was enjoying not having to fight for everything for the first time in her life. All in all it left Kylo alone most of the time.

He had taken to spending most of his days in the jungles outside of the base's shield. Since the planet was uninhabited by intelligent life, Kylo didn't have to worry about accusatory eyes watching him everywhere he went. He felt freer than he had in a long time and wasn't exactly sure how he felt about it.

Something about being on this planet made him almost forget that Hux had taken over the First Order and that a new dark Force user was threatening everything he held dear. So he constantly reminded himself that this peace was temporary while his adversaries consolidated their positions and power bases.

Kylo refused to become soft. He challenged himself by fighting many of the bigger man-eating animals on the planet with his bare hands. He knew he could subdue them with the Force at any moment but if he wasn't physically strong enough, the Force alone may not be enough anyway. At first the beasts' strength caught Kylo by surprise but after a week he could take any of them on with confidence.

When he wasn't training his body he was training in the Force similar to the ways that he was training Rey. He would often meditate under one of Olara's many waterfalls while floating as many as ten giant boulders around his head. The boulders spun in a slow orbit around his head as he reflected on everything that had happened in the last nine months or so.

How did he go from being second to the most powerful being in the galaxy, to ruling the galaxy to fighting to save it? This wasn't supposed to be his path. When he fled Skywalker's temple almost 9 years ago, he had turned his back on the path his mother would have had him tread. Now thanks to Rey, here he was getting stronger so that he could help her and his damn uncle save the galaxy from being enslaved by Zroyais.

Kylo usually knew what to do. He had inherited his mother's brilliant mind for strategy when he wasn't letting his emotions get the best of him. Kylo didn't know if that aspect of his personality came from his father or his mother's father. All accounts of Anakin Skywalker said that he was prone to letting his emotions get the best of him, especially the negative ones and it was believed that these emotions led to his fall to the dark side more than the death of Padme Amidala, Kylo's maternal grandmother. Han Solo was known for following his gut and emotions but he didn't have to worry about the Force amplifying his emotions to become something darker.

Either way he wished he could talk to them. He wanted to apologize to his father, tell him how much he loved him and how he would rather have his own father hate him than to allow him to be tortured by Hux and Snoke. Kylo wondered if Han would understand. He wanted to ask his grandfather to help him fight the darkness in his heart so that he could succeed where Anakin had failed and love his woman without letting it overwhelm his sensibilitiy.

Today was no exception. Kylo was sitting under the freezing cold water of one of the larger waterfalls to start off his day. Training in the Force didn't leave him exhausted so he always did that first. He'd leave the physical stuff for later.

His first clue that this day was difference was how quiet the jungle was around hm. Sure the roar of the waterfall dominated his hearing most of the time but usually there were birds chirping, little animals running through the underbrush as well as other things but not today. Today the waterfall was all that he could hear.

Kylo cast his senses out further than the boulders floating around his head. Distantly he felt Rey but closer he felt another familiar presence. Kylo rolled his shoulders as he pulled his senses back in.

What do you want, old man, Kylo asked as Luke fully formed on the shore 50 feet from where Kylo sat. I wanted to see how you were doing, Luke said without a hint of his usual bemusement. That's rich, Kylo snorted.

Luke gave him a tired look.

This is why I prefer to visit your better half, she is much more personable. But unfortunately I came to talk to you, Luke said warily. Well talk old man. I'm a little busy, Kylo snapped. You and Rey need to get back to your training. Her helping the newbies is good but she needs to complete her training with you in order for you two to even stand a chance whenever Zroyais decides to make his first move. Not to mention the fact that half of your soldiers need real Jedi weapons, Luke lectured. We haven't had time to complete Rey's training and as far as I know she is not training the 'newbies' as you refer to them. And they most definitely are not MY anything. I agree that Rey needs a lightsaber, though. Once she is done with her last trial I plan on taking her to Ilum to craft her new weapon, Kylo said even though he hadn't mentioned any of this to Rey.

Luke glided across the water so that he was standing right in front of Kylo.

Ben, we don't have time for the two of you to be treating this like a vacation. I know that Zroyais visited you in your dreams. I do not know if he is able to track you that way but either way we are running out of time. If we have any hope of defeating him then you two have to take the lead and act like real leaders, Luke insisted. You're kidding right. My mother and her flunkies are treating me and Rey like persona non grata. You want us to lead people who won't even look at us without being armed. Go talk to your sister, not me, Kylo said and closed his eyes dismissing the older man. I will speak with Leia, but you also have to do your part which is take Rey through her last trail and help her prepare the others for the fight ahead, Luke said. Yeah, yeah, was Kylo's reply.

Luke shook his head at his nephew before disappearing back to where ever the Force Ghost presided when they weren't annoying the living. Kylo went back to his meditating but now he could feel Rey's Force presence surrounded by 5 other slightly dimer Force presences. He knew that they would eventually seek her out; he just didn't think it would be so soon. Kylo really hated when Luke was right about anything.

Kylo's peace of mind was gone now that Luke had come and demanded that Kylo and Rey do as he says. Kylo stalked off through the jungle looking for something to fight. If there was anything stupid enough to attack him now, he would be very surprised.

He came upon a streak of Edan Tigers, which was unusual because they were usually found on Edan II. Or at least they looked like Edan Tigers, except their fur was orange-ish brown instead of white. Kylo wondered if these Olaran tigers were distant cousins of the White Tigers found in Edan II.

The beasts stopped sharing the carcass of some smaller, weaker animal to stare at Kylo. He could practically feel them getting ready to pounce but suddenly a large male with slightly darker fur and scars on his face jumped down from the trees to separate the others from Kylo. The male paced a short line back and forth between Kylo and the others, clearly blocking him from proceeding.

"So you're the leader, huh. Let's see if you are worthy of protecting your people," Kylo growled at the animal as though it could understand him.

As if it could, the male turned his head and growled at the others who scattered. One of the larger females carried off the carcass. Once they were alone the male turned to face Kylo and began growling low in his throat. Kylo lowered his center of gravity and steadied his breathing as he waited for the thing to spring into action.

The tiger opened his mouth and revealed two to three inch long fangs. Kylo bared his teeth back. Then both male leaped at each other.

Kylo spent almost an hour wrestling with the Olaran tiger before the creature finally grew wary of their battle. Kylo had a few bite marks and gashes in his skin but was otherwise unharmed. He began making his way back to Rey's…their hut once he saw how low the sun had gotten.

By the time Rey returned he was clean and wearing only a loose fitting pair of black pants that weren't very different from the ones he was wearing earlier. Kylo felt a burst of pride as Rey hesitated when she saw him in the doorway. Her eyes travelled over his form before stepping into the hut and setting their plates on her table.

Rey had crafted a chair for him so that there were two stuffed under her tiny table yesterday but Kylo had gotten used to eating dinner with Rey on his lap. So he pulled her down after sitting heavily on the nearest chair. She giggled as he wrapped his arms around her so that she couldn't get up.

"The only point of adding an extra chair was so that I wouldn't have to sit on your lap all the time," she said. "I don't mind. In fact I'd prefer if you sat on my lap more," he whispered near her ear and felt a shiver went down her spine.

"So what have you been doing in the jungle to end up so cut up," Rey asked, trying to focus on something else.

Kylo felt desire flood through her at his proximity. They had yet to move passed kissing and heavy petting because he didn't want to push Rey and she was too shy to make the first move. Not that Kylo minded waiting, he'd found that he thoroughly enjoyed teasing her to the point of where she wanted him almost more than she could bare.

"My own form of training. Including taking on some of the larger predators here on Olara," he said and felt Rey tense. "Its fine, sweetheart. If I ever feel overwhelmed I'll just use the Force or my lightsaber," he said and kissed her bare shoulder. "Okay but I don't like that you close the bond off so much. There are times where it's like you're not even there," she said. "I'm sorry. I won't close it off as tightly from now on… I saw Luke today," he said and Rey almost spit her food out with excitement.

She turned so that she could look at him.

"What did he say," she asked. "Just that we are running out of time and he's disappointed that we haven't trained together since we've been here. Nothing that we didn't know already," Kylo said, running his lips from her ear down the curve of her neck to her shoulder.

He didn't want to talk about his uncle anymore. He had just decided that he would much rather kiss every inch of her. Kylo opened his end of the bond, letting her feel his desire for her.

"Kylo, I can't concentrate on anything when you do that," she said in a shaky voice. "You wanted the bond open, so I opened it. Besides food doesn't require much concentration," he said and smiled against her skin. "Why, Kylo Ren, if I didn't know any better I would say that you were trying to seduce me," Rey giggled.

He placed more kisses on her neck before capturing her earlobe between his lips and began to pull on it. A sharp gasp escaped his woman and he was pleased enough that he was sure that she could tell. She wiggled a little in his lap, pressing against his painfully hard erection.

"I think I have already seduced you, sweetheart. I'm just tryna show you how much I care about you," Kylo said, his voice lower than usual. "I can tell," she gasped when his hand lightly traced down the front of her body, paying special attention to her suddenly hard nipples. "Good," he whispered against her skin.

His hand found its way under her tunic and undershirt to run his fingers lightly over the skin of her stomach, causing her to shiver again. Rey turned her head and suddenly they were only inches apart. Kylo took the opportunity to kiss her. Their lips moved slowly over one another.

Kylo brushed his tongue over her lower lip and she opened for him. Their tongues slid along each other as Kylo held her against him tightly. Rey's hands came around and buried themselves in his hair. Her longish nails scraped along his scalp causing a moan to escape his lips.

Rey pulled away from him and said, "Kylo…I want you…"

Kylo chuckled darkly.

"I need you to say exactly what you mean, Rey. Enough teasing."

Her hazel eyes dropped to the floor and Kylo wondered if he'd pushed too hard.

"I've been thinking about this a lot…and…I think that I am ready…for you to be my first," she said.

Rey's cheeks were scarlet red by the time she got the last word out.

"Sweetheart, I don't want you to feel like I pressured you to do anything. I am perfectly comfortable with where we are," Kylo said. "I know and you aren't pressuring me to do anything. I had decided this a couple days ago…I just didn't know how to bring it up," Rey said and she was still blushing furiously.

Kylo felt his lips stretch into a smile. She was just too precious for words. Kylo stood up suddenly with her in his arms, abandoning their half-eaten food. He went the few steps over to the bed and set her down gently.

"Beautiful you can have whatever you want from me. All you have to do is ask," Kylo said smoothly. Rey blushed again but reached for Kylo and said, "Well, then I want you! All of you."

That made Kylo smile. He lay on his side next to Rey and kissed her again. He smoothed her hair away from her face. Rey moved to pull him on top of her but he used his weight to stay put.

"As long as you are sure this is what you want," he said again and she nodded once more.

In one motion he'd shifted his weight and pulled her on top of him so that she was straddling his hips. He deftly removed her tunic and undershirt so that she was above him in only her arm wraps, underclothes and leggings but he planned to have her out of those soon enough.

Rey's blush had only spread and deepened with the removal of her clothes but the look in her eyes said that she had meant it when she said she was ready. She leaned down to kiss him again and as their mouths met Rey flooded Kylo's mind with all the fantasies she'd ever had of him. After a few seconds he broke their kiss with a groan.

"My self-control is not limitless, Rey and I plan to enjoy this," he said and flipped them over so that he was on top.

He kissed from her mouth down to her neck, taking time out to nip at the skin of her shoulder making her moan for him. His kisses continued on until he got to her breast band. She sat up so that he could remove it. Once it was gone, Kylo focused all of his attention on her chest.

Rey was making small noises in the back of her throat. All thoughts of inadequacy went out the window as Kylo did his best to worship her body. She was lost in her own pleasure as Kylo kissed his way down her body but she tensed when his nimble fingers reached the waistband of her leggings.

He shot her a reassuring smile before removing the remainder of her clothes. As soon as she was completely naked accept for her arm wraps, Rey's shyness came back and she clamped her thighs closed before Kylo could even climb back onto the bed. Kylo chuckled and placed a kiss on her taut stomach.

"Will you please let me see all of you," Kylo asked, in his new bedroom voice.

Rey looked away from him but relaxed again. Kylo sat back on his heels as he stared down at the beautiful woman laid out just for him. He told her how beautiful she was as he leaned down to place a kiss at the top of her sex. He trailed his fingers over her sensitive flesh and she jumped as though shocked by electricity. He gazed up at her to find her eyes closed tightly.

He took the opportunity to run his tongue over the sensitive nub of flesh at the apex of her sex before sucking it into his mouth just as he'd done her ear lobe earlier. He'd never done this before but it didn't take long for Rey to start trembling and moaning his name. He slipped one finger into her tightness. He began to move in and out slowly and her hands went to his hair again like she was trying to pull him deeper. Every sensation she was feeling doubled back to him in the loop of her bond and he could feel just what she needed to push her over the edge. He added another finger and Rey screamed for him.

He didn't care who heard but with a wave of his free hand he locked her door with the Force so they wouldn't be interrupted. His beautiful Rey was still shaking from her first orgasm when Kylo moved off of the bed to strip off what little he was wearing. Rey watched him with fascination as she got to see all of him for the first time. Kylo found himself smiling at her reaction.

Rey moved to sit up, but he shook his head and said, "No, tonight is all about you, sweetheart."

Kylo could feel her excitement and fear as he moved between her legs. Rey looked up at him with wonderment as he guided the head of himself to her entrance. She let out a shaky breath but smiled up at him encouragingly.

She gasped as he slid into her slowly. As soon as he felt pain through their bond he stopped moving and kissed along her neck and shoulders. After a moment he began to move again slowly and soon she was moaning again. Her hands traced along his shoulders as her hips rose to meet his thrusts.

"Gods I love you, Ben Solo," Rey cried suddenly as Kylo's fingers traveled between their bodies to find her clit.

Kylo smiled at that and increased his pace. He felt her tighten around him and had to concentrate on unpleasant things to not go before she was there with him. Rey's nails dug into his shoulder as his fingers circled faster.

"I love you, Rey," he moaned as her breath hitched and her body began to spasm and shake as she came.

Kylo's thrusts became erratic as he let go and came with her. Rey wrapped her arms around him pulling him down to kiss her again. He could feel how much she loved and desired him in that moment and he felt free.

Will Kylo take Luke's advice and get back to Rey's training? What consequences will come from them sleeping together for the first time? Will Kylo help Rey with training the new Force users?
