Permanent Mark

Chapter 46

Snoke batters on the door of his mind, rattling the hinges. He whispers through the door, hissing in anger.

You think you can keep me away? You think she is safe from me?? You think just because you love her, you can keep her safe??

Ben sweats, tossing and turning, unable to push Snoke away while in his deep sleep.

Suddenly he sits up, gasping for air. In a shout he says her name, terrified for his girl.

BEN!!!!

He immediately gains control of his emotions, aware that he's scared her.

It's okay, I'm okay, sweetheart. Just a nightmare.

You never had nightmares when I was nearby. Let me come to your bed.

Ben immediately shuts down his thoughts and emotions from her. That's because the thought of Rey sleeping in his bed has completely changed now that he's kissed her, touched her body, felt her come apart in his arms.

There's simply no way he'll be able to control himself in a bed with her.

He opens the bond after gaining control of himself. He doesn't want to scare her with his...intensity.

Go back to sleep, Rey. I'm okay.

Are you sure?

Is he sure he doesn't want Rey curled up next to him, her body against his? Her very full ass pressed against him? Nothing between his hands and her breasts but a thin shirt?

Fuck no, he's not sure. He's pretty sure he wants all that and more.

Not here though, not here where things are complicated.

Yes, I'm sure. Good night, sweet girl.

He feels her worry and loneliness seep through the bond. It makes his heart ache.

They need to talk. They need to decide what they want and what to do. Should they leave?

He'd leave the base with her right now if not for two issues. One, Snoke. Ben will never have peace until he's dead. Ben will live in fear of Rey being harmed as long as Snoke is alive.

Two, Rey considers Leia and Han her family, along with Chewie and even Luke.

He'd learned to live without them and he could do it again. However, he cannot ask Rey to do that. He also cannot take himself and Rey away from his mother. Leia probably would not survive losing both of them.

So...that leaves a huge issue.

Han kriffing Solo.

Yeah, Dad? You know that little girl you raised? Rey, the closest you've ever had to a daughter? Turns out I'm in love with her. So is it okay if I bed her and make her mine and put a baby in her belly? Just wondering.

He has a small feeling that won't go over well. It's funny how big badass Kylo Ren is still afraid of his parents and has been brought to his knees by a 19 year old girl.

Then he remembers how incredibly sexy she looked with her heat pressed against his cock, moaning his name, coming against him. No, she's no girl.

Yeah, he's got a huge problem.

They face off, circling each other, trying to take this seriously.

Damn you look hot, Ben.

Then she bites her lip and he remembers how it felt when she bit his lip earlier, right before Luke arrived to train them.
