Fighting For Your Power

Chapter 3

The next morning you were up just as early as Kylo. He had asked that you see him off and there wasn't any excuse for you not to. You had quickly changed and "escorted" Kylo down to the docking bay, where he would board his ship and go off on a mission from Supreme Leader Snoke for the next week and a half.

After he left you turned to leave but felt a hand on your shoulder. You spun around only to come face to face with General Hux.

"Y-yes, General?" You inquired but were completely terrified after the previous night's events.

"I just wanted to inform you that you are being promoted." Hux looked like he had something else he wanted to say but he turned to walk off.

"Wait a minute!" You called after him.

He turned to look at you and you noticed him scanning your body. Your cheeks flushed red but your anger kept you going.

"After so long of you treating me terribly and throwing so much crap on me, you're promoting me!? I don't believe this! Did Kylo put you up to this!?" You screamed at him.

Everyone in the docking bay turned to watch you. You watched as General Hux's face went from surprised to furious. Suddenly he was swiftly walking towards you and in that moment you could have sworn he would slap that comment right off your face.

"Are you not grateful for being promoted? You won't be sitting a a stupid computer all day!" Hux hissed in a whisper so no one could hear him.

"Of course I'm grateful! But I don't want the position if I didn't earn it!" You shot back at him.

The two of you stared each other down for a long moment, the tension could be cut by a knife. Everyone was waiting, straining their ears to hear what would be said next, watching intently yet praying they weren't sent to be rectified for not doing their jobs.

All of the sudden you felt the urge to lean in and smash your lips against the General's and it took all of your strength not to. If all the time you spent studying him paid off, then from the looks of it he was struggling with the same thought.

"For your information, Kylo Ren had absolutely nothing to do with your promotion." Out of nowhere his voice had softened. "I can assure you, Miss (L/N), you have earned the promotion from your own exemplary skills."

With that the General turned and walked off, but paused halfway to the exit.

"All of you, get back to work before I send you off to be readjusted for misconduct!" He looked at you. "I expect you to be in my office tomorrow morning at six o'clock sharp. No excuses and no Kylo Ren to help you!"

You watched his fleeting figure with something you knew as arousal. Finally, after all this time, you knew the General noticed you and the way he had gotten up in your face had caused your lower regions to become very heated and wet. Quickly you ran off to your room to indulge in probably the only day off you'd ever get.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Reporting for duty, General!" It was your third day of work after being promoted and your third day without the Ren to keep your mind off things.

"Miss (L/N), good morning. You're early." The General stated without looking up.

"Yes, sir. I thought it best to be early to show how thankful I am for being promoted to your assistant." You watched a sly smile cross his face.

Over the past few days the General had shown much liking in you, more than Kylo had ever shown. You didn't know if his feelings were the same as yours but yours had grown even stronger since he promoted you. In all honesty, the two of you often flirted, it was mostly subtle and only took place in the office. The reason you showed up early was because it meant spending more time with the General.

"I have paperwork for you to fill out." A large stack of papers was shoved your way. "And when you finish that, I need you to go over these battle plans."

You looked at him surprised as he handed you a packet with battle plans. The General had only assigned you a few days ago and was already trusting you with battle plans. You were snapped out of your thoughts when he stood up, datapad in hand, and walked over to a desk off to the side of his own.

"General, are you sure you want me reading battle plans?"

"Please, just do as you're told. Oh...and (Y/N)?" He dropped his datapad on the floor.

"Yes, General?" You rushed over to get the datapad.

You bent down to pick it up for him and suddenly felt a smack on your ass. You yelped and jumped up, immediately thrusting his datapad towards him. When he grabbed his datapad he also grabbed your wrist and pulled you towards him. He wrapped the arm, which had the datapad in it, around your waist and leaned in close so his lips were against your ear.

"I'd like you to meet me at my place for dinner tonight so we can discuss the plans. Your opinion is very important." His breath tickled your ear.

All you could do was nod in response, staring into the General's eyes as he stared right back into yours.

"Good, now get your work done. I expect you at my quarters by seven o'clock. Until then..." Suddenly he squeezed your ass causing you to jump slightly.

General Hux let go of your waist and winked at you before turning to walk out of the room. Things were going as you had always dreamed, the General actually showed interest in you. You were now almost positive that those nights on the bridge he gave you extra work he was merely jealous. A squeal of joy escaped your lips and you quickly got to work, excited for tonight.
