The Tipping Point (Kylo Ren X Reader)

Respect

In the next two weeks, your wounds healed completely. The only evidence of your encounter with Snoke were the pink scars that trailed down your arm and created a horizontal line under your ribs. Kylo's scar on his face had faded to a small line. You ran a finger down the streak as you watched him sleep peacefully. His eyelashes fluttered in time with his gentle snores and his face was set in deep lines of concern. It was morning but you were hesitant to wake him from his deep slumber. Instead, you lay your head on his chest, listening to the even beat of his heart. The warmth of his body made you snuggle closer as you hid from the chilly air that was normal for the Finalizer. You stayed in that position, closing your eyes and enjoying the moment until you felt his arms wrap around your waist. You turned your head to see his eyes were open and he was staring at you emotionlessly as his mind began to wake. His fingers moved up your back and onto your hair, combing through your knotty locks.

"Good morning," you whispered cheerfully.

"It's definitely not morning," Kylo groaned.

"Sorry to burst your bubble," you grinned.

"Who are you and what have you done to my angry wife?"

Kylo pushed himself up onto his elbows so he could get a better view of your face.

"I don't know, somethings in the air today."

"What like love?"

Your eyes darkened, "no, death."

You gave him an evil grin and he rolled his eyes.

"So you think someone is going to die today and that notion is making you happy?"

"Yup," you confirmed.

You wiggled out of his grip and got out of bed. You walked into the kitchen, searching for something to eat. A knock sounded at the door and you looked down, realizing you were wearing only a bra and underwear. You grabbed Kylo's cloak from where it was resting on one of the kitchen chairs and wrapped it around you. You stepped to the door and pressed the button allowing it to open. A masked soldier in black clothing appeared and you realized it was one of Kylo's knights.

"This had better be important," you muttered.

"I'm looking for the Supreme Leader, my lady,"  he replied.

"You are looking at her," you retorted.

The knight did a double-take. He raised his hands in front of his chest defensively. "I'm so sorry, without your normal attire I did not recognize you."

"And you really think I would let my husband cheat on me? Because that is what you are implying."

"No, of course not!"

"Leave him alone," Kylo called from another room.

You rolled your eyes. "Come in," you instructed.

The knight followed you into the kitchen. Kylo exited the bedroom wearing his normal attire minus his cape. He noticed it was wrapped around your body and smirked.

"I was looking for that," he held out his hand expectantly.

You glanced between him and the knight. "Turn around," you instructed the knight.

He obeyed your order and turned his back to you. You unwrapped the cloak from your body and handed it to Kylo. Kylo took in your figure with a hungry look in his eyes. He grabbed you by the waist and leaned into your neck.

"Maybe you shouldn't get dressed just yet," he whispered lowly into your ear.

Butterflies fluttered through your stomach but you shook them off with a small giggle.
