Ghosts of the Dyad - A Reylo story

What Does it All Mean?

Still wearing her snake necklace but now in her lacy silk nightdress, Rey lay in her cosy little room, eyes wide open. She felt so in place where she was. She felt accepted and respected. Maybe this is where she was always meant to be. She couldn't thank Kylo enough for everything he'd done to accommodate her. She cast her mind back to their encounter, would they have more nights together like that? He'd made her feel so alive and so wanted for the first time. She finally had a place in the universe and he showed her that. She had been alone her whole life and he made her feel like she wasn't. Something inside her had awakened and it was ready to surface. Kylo was so easy to confide in and so understanding and gentle.

Just then, there was a knock at the door. Kylo walked in as she sat up.

"Hey I just wanted to check that you're okay and you have everything you need before you go to sleep." He said, sitting on the end of her bed, trying to avoid eye contact with her chest or thighs.

He was doing everything in his power to make sure she felt at home and she had everything she needed and wanted. He wanted to care for her in every way possible. He was afraid that she'd change her mind, that he'd wake up to her gone back to the other side. He just got her, he didn't want to lose her.

"I'm fine." Rey smiled.

"How are you finding it?" Asked Kylo, worried about what her response might be.

"I-I feel like I'm home...like this is where I fit and that's all because of you." She said, her eyes wide with honesty and gratitude.

Kylo smiled a smile of relief.

"Well let me know if there's anything else I can do for you." He said.

"I'm not leaving, you know that, right?"she said, knowing how he was feeling deep down.

"Yeah no I know." He said quietly.

"Truth is, I really like it here." She said smiling. She wanted to reassure him, to chase all his worries away and she knew he had when he smiled.

'He has such a beautiful smile,' she thought to herself.

Both of them were secretly hoping for another passionate night like the one before. They shared a feeling that neither of them had before. Last night was electric with so much feeling and want and lust.

"Anyway I'm gonna head to bed now - you know where I am if you need me." He said, standing up.

"Goodnight." She replied.

She lay her head back down on the pillow, thoughts of Kylo Ren consuming her.

Kylo entered his own room and threw on his night garments. As he put on his top, he thought about Rey and her newfound darkness they explored together the previous night. How beautiful she looked in those clothes he'd carefully selected for her. He adored how their energies matched now. Both so filled with passion, lust and anger.

Both of them thought about their new life and the way their bond had shifted now. Rey's time on the first order ship had just begun and already, their bond was stronger than ever. Their union last night had strengthened everything between them, every fibre of them and their dyad bound closer now.

Kylo wanted to go back and see her. He was unsure why, maybe he just needed company or reassurance again. He felt better when he was around her, he worshipped her now she had shown this brand new side to her.

After debating for a while, he decided to go and see her. He'd make up an excuse when he got there, he just had an overwhelming need to be in her presence.

He got up, strode over to his door, again not sure what he was doing or why. He opened it and before he could take a step further, he saw Rey standing in his doorway in her silky black nightdress, the golden snake still resting on her chest. She force pinned him to the door, holding his wrists above his head and gave him another passionate kiss, this time gentle and loving.

He loved the way she ran her hands up his neck and grabbed his hair when she kissed him. He gently inched his tongue towards her mouth, almost asking permission. She met her tongue with his and they intertwined as their lips continued moving. She let his wrists go so he could pull her close. They stood there together, sharing their chemistry that burnt like the stars.

Rey finally broke the kiss, smiled and walked back to her own room, leaving Kylo speechless. He touched his lips, trying to savour the delicate feel of her lips on his.

He was so confused by her, what did she want from him? What had they become now? The main question on his mind was:

'What does it all mean?'y
