Return of the Ren// Kylo Ren x Rey

chapter twenty-three- compromising with the prisoner

Someone asked for smut. So I wrote smut. Kind of. But not the kind you wanted.

? ? ???????????????????

eNjOy:))))

Rey sat in the crickety, uncomfortable bed, staring at the wall ahead of her. It had been two days since she had the experience in the simulation room. Two days since the Sith troopers grabbed her. Two days since she had seen Ben- or anyone else, for that matter.

She had passed her time wondering what Finn and Poe were doing, and if they went to Alderaan in her place to meet with King Alexander. She could only hope that King Alexander was not thinking she was ignoring his letter, or that it had gotten into the hands of the First Order. Hopefully, Finn and Poe had left to delegate.

Rey didn't bother putting her hair in the buns. She had been letting her hair down, falling just below her shoulders. She had ditched her normal clothes and dressed in the baggy black sweatpants and the tight white tank top that the Sith troopers had given her when they first put her in the cell.

Rey's brain was swarming with thoughts these past two days. It didn't help that nobody had visited her- it left her alone with herself. She hadn't fully wrapped her mind around that when she drowned, it was just a simulation. It was just a torture tactic.

Rey hissed, her mind dripping in anger. That was exactly why she needed to end the First Order. The inhumane and cruel "torture tactics." She needed to escape so she could converse with King Alexander and put together an army to end the First Order's reign.

The worst part about all of this is that she had been alone. Nobody had come to visit her. Nobody. She had been entirely alone, her thoughts her only solace. The Sith troopers ignored her, and Ben hadn't even come to look at her.

She had been completely, and utterly, alone.

Rey studied the metal cell door as she heard footsteps walk down the hallway outside her cell. She didn't get her hopes up- many people had walked by her cell the past two days. It was most likely just another stormtrooper.

The footsteps abruptly stopped, and Rey heard some voices she couldn't make out. She kept her eyes on the door, straining her ears to understand what they were saying.

A loud clink sounded as the metal cell door suddenly opened. Rey's eyes widened, wondering who could it be. Could Poe or Finn be visiting her? Could they have stayed and gotten Ben's permission to visit?

Ben walked into the room, dressed in his usual black tunic and black baggy slacks. He had skipped on his black gloves- his hands were bare, showing their coarseness.

He wore an unreadable expression on his face as he stared at Rey. Guilt coursed through his body. He felt guilty for keeping her prisoner, but it was for his own safety. That's what he kept telling himself, at least.

Silence filled the room. Rey didn't move from her sitting position, only looked at Ben with sadness but also want. She hated to admit it, but she missed him. She missed his company. She missed not being around him. It was most likely thanks to their Force Dyad, but it still was real. Her feelings for Ben were real, even if it would never work out.

"Ben," Rey whispered, staring at him in longing.

As soon as Rey said his name, Ben's emotionless mask fell off, showing his true emotions. Guilt and shame crossed his face. He slowly stepped towards Rey. He crossed his arms as a defence mechanism, trying to not appear vulnerable.

Rey dangled her feet off the bed, stepping barefoot onto the cold metal floor. She ran towards him, throwing her arms around him. She stood tiptoe, closing her eyes as she inhaled Ben's strong scent- a forest and fresh rain.
