A Place To Escape

Chapter 10: A Date With The Supreme Leader

((A/N: HI! Here's chapter 10 it's SO much longer than I had originally planed, it's just over 10K words and there are TWO smut scenes lol
I also just wanted to give a warning. There is mention of Baby El's past that could be triggering as Evangeline alludes to the fact she was sexually assaulted by a family member as a child.
No details are described but, if this is at all a difficult topic for you- skip over it!

There are only 5 more chapters(after this one) left which excites me AND terrifies me all at the same time. I want to thank those who have been with me on this ride since the beginning! I love you all and I can't wait to show you what else is in store for Evangeline and Kylo!))

A Place To Escape: Chapter 10 (A Date With The Supreme Leader)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kylo Ren sits twitching in his seat—irritated, tense, and needy.

Needy for answers.

Needy for resolutions.

Needy for his Little Bird.

Since he couldn't satisfy the first two, he decides to say 'fuck all' and leave Steadfast for Paradise House. If only his ship would fucking move faster so he could stop thinking about his uncertainty toward Rey.

He had pushed her in the desert of Pasaana because he needed to see her power. Needed her to see it too. To tempt her.

No matter how hard she tried to deny it, the darkness was a part of her. More so, it was a part of her heritage, just as much as it was a part of Kylo's.

Rey Palpatine—the granddaughter of the Emperor.

Kylo still reels at the thought. If she joined him and combined their power...they would be unstoppable.

Together, they could rise up against Palpatine and take his throne.

The entire galaxy would bend to their will and bow to their new Emperor and Empress.

There would be no more Resistance, no more Jedi, and for once, Kylo could fucking relax.

Then maybe he could even bring Evangeline home with him instead of always trying to find the time to visit.

If only Rey would submit to her destiny and take his hand.

If Kylo is honest, it's something he can't stop fantasizing about. The thought of walking into his quarters at the end of each day and finding Evangeline there seems like the perfect dream.

She'd always be within his reach—safe from harm and by his side to calm him, fuck him, and sing for him. He'd dress her in the finest silk, drape her in jewels, and make her his Queen.

He'd give her whatever she wanted as long as he never again had to be separated from her.

The fantasy consumes him even while sleeping. Dreams of him fucking his Little Bird on the throne of the Sith as he names her his Queen plague him nightly.

Kylo, of course, shields these thoughts from his Little Bird. He's too afraid he'll scare her with the intensity of his feelings.

Feelings that he still does not understand. Feelings that he has yet to decipher.

To Kylo, Evangeline is radiating sunlight, while he's nothing but a leech that would eventually suck her dry if he wasn't careful. It's only a matter of time before she sees the darkness that lurks within his heart and throws him aside.

Just like everyone else in his life had done.

He forces the negativity away, turning his attention to landing his ship.

For once, he arrives early in the morning. Kylo wonders if his Little Bird would still be asleep. He begins to hope she is, so he can surprise her by slipping under the covers and waking her with kisses.
