Chapter eighteen
Secrecy failed
Kylo's POV:
Ryssa laid asleep in her bed. I sat down on the edge, leaning down to kiss her forehead. "Ben?" She mumbled in her sleep. A deep sigh left my lips as she said my actual name. I laid down next to her, staring up at the ceiling. Ryssa was actually sleeping. I played with her hair that was curlier than ever. The nightgown she wore was shorter than the last one. I covered her with the blanket. I didn't want to wake her so I decided I'd sleep next to her. I'd be here when she awoke so it would be fine. I took off my boots and pulled the covers up to my chest, laying back down.

Ryssa's POV:
I woke up to movement next to me. I looked to my left and saw Kylo. "I can't. I won't." He said in his sleep. "Kylo?" I asked, trying to wake him up. "I can't do it. I can't." I shook him softly, trying to snap him out of it. He thrashed a little. "Don't hurt her. I'm the one you want. Just please don't touch her." I furrowed my eyebrows, wondering if his dream was about me. "Ben, wake up." I said. His eyes opened as if on cue. He sat up quickly and looked around the room. "Ben, I'm here. It's me." He shuddered and said "Ryssa?" I nodded and he reached for me. I hugged him and said "you were talking in your sleep." "I was?" I nodded as I pulled away. His hair stuck to his forehead since he was sweating. "You should take all that off." I said to him. He looked at his uniform which was still on. Kylo nodded and began taking the layers off. "I'm hot." He mumbled. He threw the majority of his uniform on the floor. "Do you need anything?" He shook his head as he took a long sleeve black shirt off his head. He plopped down on my bed and sighed. "You're sure you don't need anything?" "I'm fine. As long as I'm with you, I'm fine." I nodded and pressed a kiss to his cheek. Kylo pulled me onto his lap, my legs going on either side of his waist, straddling him. I looked at his shirtless form. I traced his scar with my fingertips. A shuddering breath left his lips. "I'm sorry I did that to you." I said softly. "You were protecting yourself. I might've killed you." He replied. He played with the hem of my nightgown that sat on my thighs. I brushed his hair out of his face and he leaned up, kissing my lips. He pulled away so he could sit up. I cupped his cheek and kissed his lips passionately. Kylo began to kiss my neck. I held him close to me, not wanting him to stop. His hand went up my nightgown, cupping my breast. He pulled away from me and I kissed his jaw, moving to his neck. I adjusted my body, trying to get more comfortable. A soft groan left Kylo's lips as I caused friction by accident. He went to remove my nightgown when a voice said "oh my god." I immediately looked to the bedroom door and saw Nephle. "You and Kylo? You're actually together. Holy shit." She said as she closed the door behind her. I got off of Kylo's lap and said "what're you doing here?" "I came to visit. But looks like you and Kylo had other plans in mind." Nephle said with a smirk. Kylo eyed her and said "if you tell anyone-" "You'll kill me. I know. I'm aware of who you are, which is why I wouldn't endanger myself." "You're endangering yourself by being here right now." Kylo mumbled. "I'm leaving anyway. Safe sex, guys." She said. Kylo went to stand up and she quickly closed the door. I bit my lip to keep from laughing and Kylo looked at me. "What're you laughing at?" "You. You're hot and bothered." He rolled his eyes and huffed. I cupped his cheek and pressed a kiss to his lips. "Don't be mad." I said as I pulled away. Kylo sighed. "I could lock the door." I suggested. He quirked an eyebrow and said "yeah?" I nodded and stood up, walking to the door, locking it. He smirked and I said "now, where were we?"
