Shifting [Kylo Ren x Reader]

7- Shared Feelings

When you walked back into your house after the gym, you felt nauseous at the number of emotions flowing through you. The sweat on your body only egged you on further, so you decided to shower and try to cool down.

When the water hit your body, it was cold at first, making goosebumps prickle your arms and back. You sighed, feeling the anger begin to melt away as the water got hotter. You'd turned the heat all the way up, letting it scold you. You weren't sure why you felt so angry today, but it felt like it was drowning you. You closed your eyes, running your hands through your hair, and sighed. The anger remained, but it was at a slow simmer.

Twenty minutes later, you stepped out of your shower and wrapped a fluffy towel around your body. As you walked to your room, you heard the floor creak in your bedroom. You stopped, your heart seizing in your chest. You stopped walking and stopped yourself from breathing too heavy. Even though your mind was telling you to turn and run for your life, your body kept walking forward anyway. Slowly but surely, you reached the outside of your closed bedroom door and inhaled as you tried to build up the courage to open the door.

"Come in, little one."

The dark voice from behind the door shocked and surprised you. Of course, you knew who it was by now, your countless visits with him seemed to engrain his voice in your head. Even though you knew who it was, you felt the darkness emanating from him in waves. You didn't know what he'd do out of anger and you weren't eager to find out.

"Don't make me count to three." His voice was eerily calm, but you could still hear his fury. It was like the calm before the storm. His threat left something unknown, and even though you loved a mystery, this wasn't one you were eager to figure out. You reached your hand out and pushed your door open slowly, keeping your breath even.

When you opened your door, you saw Kylo standing in the middle of your room. You clutched your towel tighter to your chest and slowly made steps towards him. You stopped a few steps away from him and let out a shaky breath.

"Why were you in the gym?" The question came out before you could stop it. Kylo glared at you and stepped forward, making you step back. He looked at you like you were his prey, and his eyes were almost black.

"I felt you." He growled. You furrowed your brows and looked down at his shoes, wondering what he meant. A grip on your chin forced you to look up and meet his eyes. "I've felt you all day."

"What do you meant you've felt me?" You asked, still not getting it.

"I felt your fear. Your nervousness. It felt like you were fighting." Kylo stepped closer to you with every word, backing you into the wall.

"Did you feel my anger, too?" You asked in earnest, still wondering why it was there at all. Kylo's eyebrows went up in surprise and he took in a sharp inhale.

"You felt anger today, little one?" His voice was soft, and his eyes focused on you.

You nodded, looking up at him. "It felt overwhelming. Like a tidal wave of it was drowning me, all day. I felt like I wanted to fight someone or break something. And it wouldn't go away, that's why I went to the gym." At the mention of the gym, Kylo's eyes hardened again and his hand wrapped around your neck.

"It seems like you felt me as well." You placed your free hand on his chest, trying to push him away. Kylo chuckled at your attempt and grabbed both of your wrists with one hand to place them against the wall above your head. Heat flowed in your lower half and your breathing got heavier as he leaned down to your ear. "What about now? Can you feel me?" You gasped as you felt him push his hips against you, feeling his length hardening against you. You whimpered at how big he felt, even against your hip.
