SUMMARY: Trying to make Kylo jealous, reader is coquetting with Hux. Reader will have an opportunity to meet him more intensively. But, of course, Kylo can read her mind…
Author: Cass & Beast
Few days have passed.
Because of the way Kylo had treated you before, you were shunning him as much as you could.
Of course, few times you both passed each other. Without any word. Even without a single glance. But it made you feel comfortable somehow. You didn’t have to deal with his mood swings at least.
Hux pushed you with his shoulder while you were sitting in the canteen.
“Could you be so polite and start to listen what am I saying?” He muttered looking at you with a frown. “Make yourself useful and go to Kylo. I have the important report for him, but I don’t have the patience to deal with that man.”
He gave you report and walked away like nothing happened, looking over his shoulder. “Better do this quick.”
The folder with report was red and rather big.
You raised your head to throw Hux angry glance.
“Yea. Of course. I have to do everything in behalf of you, because you’re too lazy to do a single thing.”
Loud sigh left your mouth. “I’ll do this.”
Hux only sighed heavily. “Learn some respect, child. Just won’t hurt your knees, when you will get to his chamber.” He said with sarcastic tone, then left the canteen.
Kylo was sitting in his room waiting for any pieces of information.
He looked surprised when he saw you in the door
“Ah! Hux’s loyal scum. How’s new work?” He asked, smiling meanly.
You pretended to not hear what he has said.
“You report is ready, sir.”
You put the folder on his desk, not even looking at him
“I hope those are a good news.” Kylo said and got up from his seat.
He walked to you and put a finger under your chin, forcing you to look at him.
“Not so eager anymore? I thought you enjoyed it..” He purred.
“Fuck off.” You mumbled under breath took step back. “Is there anything else I can do for you, sir?”
Kylo grabbed you by hair to hold your head in place, he looked into your eyes.
“First, show me some respect. Second, stop lying to yourself. We both know what do you want. We know how it will end.” He said wrapping arms tightly around you. Every visit in his chamber ended like this, no matter what, he was always acting in the same way.
His eyes were full of anger and you saw it.
You turned head aside.
“Don’t flatter yourself too much, sir,” you said looking at the wall and focusing yourself on muting your emotions.
“Listen… I can feel it.” He had his arms wrapped around your waist.
Brunette muttered softly getting closer to your neck. “I still like your scent, you know… the scent of sweet naive girl…”
Kylo looked at you. “Your heart is pounding every time you get closer to me… and you tell me to ‘fuck off’… that’s rude, little one.”
You resisted
“Leave me alone. You kow nothing about me.”
Your hands clenched into fists.
“I know more than you know, little one. Now go back to work.” Kylo released you from his grasp.
Hux was waiting at you.
“Finally! How are your knees?” Man asked with a smile. “If I can be honest. When I saw you the first time I thought you have more self-respect… You should take a real man. Not the unstable leader.” He muttered.
“I don’t know what are you talking about.”
Walking next to him, you were focused on the corridor. But you good knew what he was talking about.
“Come on… stop pretend that you are so hard to get.” He muttered rolling eyes.
Hux looked at you. “My people are celebrating because of destroying resistance base. Maybe you should relax? With me?” He asked offering his arm. “What would you say?”
The need of revenge on Kylo was too huge for you to stop, so you nodded slightly.
“Yea. Right. Well. Yes. With a pleasure.”
“Pleasure by my side, Y/N.”
He walked with you into the control room. “I never was a fan of it. They only get distracted.” Hux winced looking at his people. “But at last I can spend some time with you.” He admitted with soft smile.
“I see, Hux” you smiled a bit at him. “So. What’s now?”
He shrugged. “We will wait till…” Before Hux could finish his sentence, Kylo entered the room.
He looked at everyone, frowning. “At last for once you all were usefull.”
Hux rolled his eyes. “As always. He talks like he is the one that did whole job.” He muttered to you.
You gave a little nod.
“Exactly. He behaves like he would be a Supreme Leader.”
You patted Hux’s back.
“I think you would be better than him.”
“I… Thank you.” Hux only nodded.
Kylo walked to two of you. “Since when YOU are celebrating… With her?” He asked looking at Hux but pointing at you.
“Since I know, how to treat a woman. Not like someone is treating us.” Hux smiled sarcastically and pulled you closer.
You were glad. Seeing the grimace on Kylo’s face made you strangely satisfied with yourself.
“Hux. Can you help me with reports? I have to finish them, but I am not sure how.”
You grabbed him by palm.
He squeezed your hand. “Of course, with pleasure, Y/N.”
Hux left room with you. You both could hear how angry Kylo was screaming at everyone. “THAT’S ENOUGH! Go back to work!”
Hux only laughed at this.
“I love to annoy him.”
“After his last behavior towards me, I found this pretty funny to make him angry. He is like a blind child. In control.”
You winked at him and left his hand.
“And where are you going little one?” He grabbed you by palm and pulled you closer. “You won’t run away so easily.” Hux smiled at you.
You bit lower lip, wrapping arms around his neck and getting on you tiptoes to kiss his cheek.
“Don’t worry. I am always around.”
You winked at him and walked away, to go back to work.
Hux walked to you and wrapped arms tightly around your waist. “Now you won’t get rid of me.” He purred softly into your ear.
You giggled and turned around to look him in the eye.
“Oh really?”
With a corner of the eye you saw how Kylo was leaving a main room. You were sure he saw you and Hux.
“Of course you won’t.” Hux smiled.
Kylo stopped and looked at two of you, frowning.
“Sir, do you need something?” You asked viciously looking at Ren over Hux’s shoulder.
Kylo only walked away.
Hux looked behind and then back to you. “Let’s go to my chamber or better no… Too many guards on our way there..”
You nodded with soft smile. “Come to visit me at evening. I will be waiting.” You said and then walked away.
In a little, softly-lit bedroom, you’re on a average sized bed. You’re freshly showered, nude, and just a bit softly squirmy from anticipating what will happen next. You lied there for a bit, at times rubbing yourself for a moment. It was when Hux arrived.
“General Hux, I was sure you’ll come.” Your voice was soft like never before.
He entered without knocking, being sure of himself. He got undressed and quickly joined you on the bed. Without a word, Hux lied down beside you on your left and gently caressed you, starting at knees and gradually tracing your whole body, increasing your delighted squirming.
A few kisses later he pulled you toward himself with firm strength and determination, yet always gently. Mostly on his back but somewhat leaning toward you, Hux directed your hips onto his so that your left buttocks covered his crotch entirely. With his left hand he pulled your left leg around his left leg, then pushed your right leg sideways to be flat against the bed. He continued to pull a bit here and push there, bringing your hips a bit more up on his, his right hand cupping your right buttocks at times, rubbing your crotch.
“Y/N, you’re fucking beautiful,” Hux whispered.
He rubbed you a bit more between the legs, wiggled his fingers wherever they might be, shifted a bit now and then for effect, to find just the right spot for himself to settle in, then he caressed your torso, breasts and face with his left hand. He kissed your face then paused.
Kylo walked in the room.
Ren walked around the bed, leant across it and kissed you, first on the neck, then the right nipple, gently sucking it into his mouth and rolling it with his teeth for a moment. Then fully on your lips, tasting and inhaling you.
He leant back, put his right middle finger on your lips, you wanted to suck it into you, but Kylo quickly slipped it out, and traced a line down your center – chin, to neck, to sternum, to belly, between your lips. He slided it into you while whispering softly. “Be still, Y/N.” He knew this was a challenge for you, but one that you willingly accepted.
Kylo held it inside you, not moving, and instructed you to demonstrate your muscles. As you did, his initial response was firm. “That is not enough. I know that you can do better … I’ve felt it.” You closed your eyes and squeezed tighter, imaging his cock instead of his finger.
You were eager for more. The novelty of the situation, the posture of your hips pushed up yet supported, the attentions and arousal of Kylo and Hux gave you new levels of excitement. With Hux beside and below you, and with Kylo so tantalizingly near and above, you looked Kylo in the eye and quietly begged. “Please.”
Kylo sent a questioning look to Hux who nodded. Hux pushed his hand deeper under you. He also firmly pushed your legs farther apart, almost uncomfortably. With his left hand keeping you legs apart, Hux used his right hand to tease into readiness wherever he could reach.
Kylo, enjoying watching you try to stay still while you were beginning to uncontrollably squirm and moan, reached down and petted you body, keeping intentionally away from where Hux was touching.
Kylo bent down and gave you a few long, full-tongue licks along all of your pussy that sent you into a delicious, creamy, thrilling orgasm. One more quick lick followed by a little slap on your heated, ready pussy, then Kylo looked into your eyes. “You’re incredibly tasty, Y/N. I needed that.”
Hux continued to hold your legs apart and pushed you up a bit further. Kylo positioned himself in front of your spread legs, got himself ready and in a strong stance, then leant forward to enter you.
Kylo entered you in one, agonizingly slow, deep, powerful motion.
Hux shifted his hips slightly. You gasped and shuddered as Hux pushed into your ass. His hands on your sides, fingers curved around to hold your nipples. Lips on the back of your neck. Kylo reminded you to be still, to enjoy all of the sensations, the hardness within you. The strong men below and above you. The pinching nipples. Hux’s teeth on your shoulders and the back of neck. Kylo’s lips and breath dancing with hers.
“Oh God..” You could only mumble quietly enjoying the pleasure.
Kylo started to move his hips. Slowly withdrawing until just the tip remained. Your eyes were closed as you absorbed the feelings. The smell. The sound of moist bodies moving with each other.
While Ren held himself just barely inside of your quivering pussy, Hux slowly pulled out until he too had only the tip of his cock inside. They both felt your muscles contract as you tried to pull, to will them both back into you.
You whimpered just a bit.
Suddenly you imploded as you felt both men thrusted deeply, filling you beyond fulfilling. They were simultaneous in their plunge and withdraw. Plunged and withdrawed. You lost sense of time. Of connection with gravity as you were suspended between the two.
A whisper from Kylo brought you back for just a moment until you realized that it was a signal for Hux, and in an instant the rhythm had shifted, with one sliding inside you deeply as the other pulled back.
“Fuck! Fuck, it’s so good! Fuck me harder!” You grunted loudly rubbing your clitoris.
And you were off again. Nearly floating above yourself as you orgasmed over and over. Your body moving in sync with theirs. Breathing as one, thrusting as one.
It didn’t take long before Kylo and Hux reached their peaks, too.
Kylo was first, cumming deep inside of your clenching pussy.
“Fuck!” Ren leant down to suck on your pulse point, riding his orgasm off.
Hux was second, but before he came, he slipped out of your ass and pumped over his length, rolling you a bit. Seconds later, he erupted his load on your belly.
Hux kissed your nape as you panted deeply trying to catch a breath.
You weren’t expecting something like this to happen. You knew subconsciously, that Kylo will join you since he could read your mind. But it was way too much from what were you expecting.
When Kylo slipped out, too, you rolled on the bed, covering tour figure with quilt.
“How did you like it, Y/N?” Kylo asked, dressing his boxers on.
You took deep breath and were about to answer, but were cut by Hux’s kiss.
“Great.” You managed to whimper.
It didn’t take long for three of you to fall asleep. Your head rested on Hux’s chest while Kylo had his arm wrapped around your waist, spooning you.
Sleep came fast, and the last thing you remembered was Kylo’s whisper.
Summary:You meet with Sebastian first time since a while. You missed him badly, and it seems he missed you, too. You spend nice afternoon on the beach, enjoying common presence. But he has a surprise for you, a surprise which for sure you aren’t expecting…
Word Count:782
The waves are neither the gentle kind that roll up the beach like a overflowing bath tub, nor the crashing kind that turn murky with golden swirling crystals. They move with force but die within a few feet. From them comes the salty smell, that fragrance that conjures fishing fleets and nets of sun-bleached blue cord hanging out to dry. This place could be anywhere, you guess at a stretch this could be some kind of artificial simulation, but it isn’t. This is your hometown beach. You stand still, face to the breeze and soak it all in. No technology, no gimmicks, just nature… And him.
“It’s always a pleasure to come back here, isn’t it, Y/N?” Sebastian says as he smiles at you. Only corner of his lips is raised, but the smile is so bright, that you smirk, too.
“Yes, indeed,” you breath deeply taking the salty and humid air into your lungs.
You stretch lazily like a kitten basking at the porch on the sunny day. Perching on the warm sand, you look over him patting free place by your side encouragingly. He nods and within seconds, he sits by you straightening his legs.
“How it was on the set, huh? I haven’t here much from you lately, and I got worried, you know?” you rest elbows on your knees pulling legs closer to chest.
Sebastian laughs loudly. “It was like always. So many things to do there. Sorry, Y/N, for the lack of responses from my side but I was pretty busy.” Stan looks at you tilting head aside. “What about you, Y/N?”
You shrug, legs crossing. “Nothing much. I focused on studies. Few exams, they all went well. I also have gotten new work, as an assistant at the office” you say proudly.
Sebastian pats your back gently smiling even wider. “I’m proud of you, Y/N.”
A silent crawls between two of you, and you focus on airiness of the moment. After a while you lay down slipping hands under your head making yourself comfortable.
“Isn’t it beautiful, Y/N?” Sebastian asks doing exact same thing as you few moments ago.
You both are lying on the sand enjoying the instant, and it feels perfectly magic.
The sun’s rays peacefully float, resting on bare skin of your shoulders. Timid clouds are rarely exposed, leaving the sky to beam blue. Your ears invite in the quiet whisper of waves, sharing the ocean’s secrets. The fresh airs salty smell tickles your nose.
“I had to ask you long time ago but never found the occasion to do so” Sebastian’s voice pulls you out of your thoughts.
You open eyes lazily and look aside, you frown a bit seeing him sitting again. You slowly sit, too.
“What’s it about, Seb?” you ask cocking brew up, not being sure what to expect from him.
And when he changes his position kneeling on one knee, you know what is about to happen, so you stop breathing for a second or longer, slowly cover mouth with both of your hands.
“Y/N…” Sebastian starts and you’re about to faint. “Will you marry me?” he asks pulling little suede box out of his jacket pocket. He opens it revealing a ring with crystal in sky blue color. He looks you straight in the eye, no hesitation, no apprehension of being rejected. He good knows how much you’re into him, and you know how much he’s into you. There can’t be other way.
“Yes” you say in trembling voice shaking all over your body while nodding. “Yes, Sebastian. I do.”
Slowly, almost with an anointing, Sebastian slips the ring on your finger smiling brightly at you. Then he leans forward to place a kiss to your lips and you can’t help but hum happily.
You observe him as he rises from the ground and reaches hand towards you. You give him your palm and he helps you to get back onto your feet. You both are looking at each other without blinking. You’re still in a shock, your tummy is tingling as you enjoy the warmness of his hands on your palms.
“Can we go home now?” he asks reassuringly.
“Yes..” youu whisper letting your lids fall down for a second.
You enjoy the moment for a little longer moment, then you look at him. You climb on your toes and kiss his cheek. “I love you” you assure him taking his hand in yours.
Both of you walk at the parking lot, where his car is parked, and while he places himself at driver seat, you throw last glance on the beach. This is the best day of your lifetime.

SUMMARY: Reader works for the medical team. One night she has to take care of Kylo. It goes into the very sexual way. But will Kylo turn out to be as nice as he wants her to think?
Author: Cass & Beast
“Get me someone!” Kylo yelled loudly slowly entering his spaceship. He was barely walking. Clothes on his side were torn, revealing a nasty wound that was bleeding heavily, just like a wound on his face. It didn’t take long before Kylo fell on the ground.
You were a member of the medical crew, so you were first by Kylo’s side.
“Master! Master! What has happened?!” You mumbled kneeling next to him. “Doctor! I need a doctor here, now!”
“Don’t ask stupid questions!” He growled at you. Medical team quickly took him away to take care of his wounds.
After an hour one of medics walked to you. “It’s your lucky day, little one.” He said.
It was something normal here, Kylo took you in a few months ago and everyone was mocking you.
You frowned a bit. “My lucky day? Why? What does he want?” You asked full of hesitation.
“Nothing?” Man shrugged. “You are just gonna take care of you "Master”. We don’t have time for this.“ He explained.
The truth was, that no one from medical team wanted to take care of Kylo, so they decided to throw it onto your shoulders.
You felt a mix of happiness and hesitation, but you followed Kylo’s order, and you went to medical part of the ship.
"Master. You called me.”
You bowed head a bit being as polite as you could. “How can I serve you, Master?”
Kylo was sitting on metal chair
He frowned looking at you. “I didn’t even say your name. So I have no idea why you think I called for you.” He muttered and tried to get up but it only caused a loud hiss from him.
You nodded.
“Don’t, Master Kylo. You need to rest now.”
You approached him, offering your arm to him for a support.
“Of course, Master.”
Carefully, your wrapped arm around his waist letting him lean his weight on you.
“At last, they put work on you… not on this idiot Hux like they did once.” He muttered looking down at you.
“It’s better to have my student by my side.” He explained when both of you got to his chamber. Kylo slowly sat on his bed and took deep, heavy breath. “So… you are taking care of me… you know what it means?”
You stand with arms crossed behind your back.
“I think I do, my Master.”
The truth was you weren’t even sure what he was expecting from you.
“Do you need something now, Master? If not, I’ll leave you alone so you will be able to rest.”
“Since when you are so… serious? I always have seen you with a smile on your face.” He said watching you carefully.
“Don’t worry… I won’t bite, but you will have to undress me later.” Kylo smiled at you.
Your brow slowly was raised as a grimace of disbelief crept onto your face. “Undress you, Master….?” You asked as you weren’t sure if you had understood him properly.
Immediately, you blushed, because you indeed thought about other things. “Ah. Yes. Yes, my Master.”
You nodded slightly and left him alone.
It was late in the night and you were already sleeping, when a sudden thought has woken you up.
“I FORGOT ABOUT KYLO!” You squeaked to yourself getting dressed as fast as possible.
When you were ready, you ran to his bedroom hoping he won’t order to kill you for your absentmindedness.
Kylo was sleeping peacefully in his bed, wearing only his boxers. His bandages were soaked with his blood and it started to leave stains on his sheets.
“Shit…” you whispered under your breath, slowly closing the door behind you as you entered his room.
At first, you unpacked little bag where you had bandages and rest of hygiene measures.
You carefully cut his bandage open taking it off and throwing it in the trash can. Pressing your smooth hands against his stomach, you started cleaning the wound
“You have warm and soft hands.” He whispered.
“But you forgot about your master. Wait… I will help you.” Kylo muttered and laid in a position more comfortable for you. “Now, do your job.”
You didn’t say a word not wanting to drive him mad.
Using the fact he was half asleep, you’ve done your job deftly.
His body made a huge impression on you. His every muscle was well-outlined, his skin was so warm yet rough.
Kylo smiled at your touch and purred loudly. “Why so quiet. You always have a lot to say, Y/N.” He said, watching what were you doing.
You were so gently with him like no one before, Kylo felt very good by being with you.
You smiled at him briefly. “My supervisor made me a huge reasoning about my bad attitude. I am not allowed to talk with you, Master, taking you are the high with your rank among us all.”
“I wanna remind you that you are MY student. What means I am your supervisor and I never said anything about your attitude.” Kylo explained and hissed loudly. “So sorry, Master.”
You pressed too strongly on his wound and it started to bleed again. Using a gauze, you quickly cleaned the wound trying to be as subtle as it was only possible. Shortly after the new bandage was wrapped around his stomach. “Thank you, now the other wound.” He pointed on his face.
You hesitated for a second but moved closer to him taking his face in your hands.
“Now slowly…” You carefully turned his head aside to change the bandage. “It looks much better than the one on your stomach, Master.”
“That’s good… but it hurts more than one on my stomach.” He admitted. After you were done with his face, Kylo looked at you. He wrapped a hand around your nape and looked into your eyes.
In the first reflex, you wanted to pull away, but you stopped yourself. “Sometimes I have a feeling that you think I am stupid.” He muttered and then pulled you into a deep kiss.
You blinked, but there was no way to escape.
And when his rough lips crushed on yours, something has broken deep in your soul.
You gave the kiss back, full of passion and tenderness.
You just wanted this moment to last forever.
Kylo broke the kiss and looked at you, he only smiled softly and kissed your neck.
“You know, I am happy that medical team ordered you to take care of me…” He said before another kiss.
The truth was you have wanted it since you started to work for First Order. And then they had assigned you to Ren’s crew. It was like a fulfillment of dreams. You pressed the hand to his chest and pushed him back onto pillows, then you leaned down and kissed his neck.
Kylo laughed softly. “Someone is really eager. Good girl.” He purred and moved hands behind his head, enjoying the feeling.
You slowly got on top of him, still pressing kisses to his neck. You slowly moved to his jawline and then to Kylo’s lips, gently sucking on the bottom one. Kylo growled kissing your lips.
“Come on… don’t play with me, little one.” He purred and moved his hand into your hair grabbing them strongly. “Better don’t even try to play with me.” “I am not playing with you, Kylo.”
You kissed him again reaching hands to the fabric of his boxers. Kylo watched your every little move. “I love your hands… so soft.” He whispered.
For a while, you were playing with the fabric of his underwear, only to slipped hand beneath them while kissing him deeply.
“I have wanted it so badly, Master.” He growled loudly into the kiss. “Not only you little one.” Kylo whispered, playing with the hem of your shirt, he grabbed it firmly and ripped it off of you.
You hummed feeling like your body was getting tensed. You briefly ran fingers along his shaft looking him in the eye. Then, you leaned down to him pressing your chest against his, to give Kylo a room to undone your bra.
Kylo let out a quiet moan when your hand got into contact with his hard shaft. He moved his hands behind you and undone your bra without a problem, then he threw it onto the floor.
Suddenly Kylo threw you on the bed and got on top of you, grabbing your throat. “What shall I do now..?” He whispered looking into your eyes.
You smiled at him and moved your head aside giving him access to your neck. “Anything you want to, Master Kylo,” your voice was subtle when you encouraged him to action.
“Oh really… anything I want?” His hand slowly traveled down your stomach right to your pants. “Good that you sleep without panties.” Kylo laughed shortly and pushed his hand under your pants.
Kylo rubbed your clit before pushing three of his long fingers inside you, he was looking directly into your eyes.
You blushed at his words. “How do you know that I sleep without them?!” You giggled nervously. Your head rolled back onto pillows when he filled your core with his fingers. You were groaning loudly, slowly you bucked hips for more friction.
“Just my intuition, my love.” He whispered and pushed his fingers deeper and harder into you. After few thrusts, Kylo removed fingers from you and quickly took off your and his pants. He looked at you with a smile and pushed himself deep inside you without any warning.
Your hands clenched at the sheets as he drove himself into you. You couldn’t help and you screamed his name spreading your legs wider for him. “Oh Lord…” You gasped loudly and immediately moved a hand between you two to rub yourself.
Kylo grabbed your hand and moved both of your hands over your head. He holds both in place using one of his hands. “Better stay like this.” He growled. Kylo moved his hips forward, thrusting into you slowly at first, but started to pick his pace up.
Soon, he was fucking you furiously.
You were groaning with each thrust, you tried few times to free your hands. “I need to touch you, please!” You begged wrapping legs around his hips to deepen the moves.
“You really want this?” He purred before kissing your neck, pushing himself even deeper into you.
“Fuck, sure I do, Kylo!” you rose a bit to kiss his neck. “I’m your fucking Master!” Kylo yelled loudly, grabbing your throat and squeezing it hard.
He let go of your hands, so you used the possibility and embraced him tightly, scratching his back roughly.
“Fuck, harder!” You moaned loudly barely breathing as he squeezed your throat. Kylo moaned and looked into your eyes. He kissed you deeply. “You are so tight… You gonna make me cum soon.” Kylo muttered between kisses.
“For sure… But… Not like that..” You whispered and used all the strength to roll on top of him, still having him buried in you.
You put hands on his chest to support yourself, then rocked your hips back and forth, moaning and panting.
He was right. You were tight as fuck, and he was so huge, filling you perfectly. Kylo growled loudly moving his hips softly, letting out loud moan. “Fuck… I am close, little one…” He gasped.
“I am too” you moaned loudly and rocked your hips for him. Kylo growled deeply and pushed into you as deep as he could to fill you with his cum. He purred softly. “Soo good.”
You yelled, nuzzling to his neck. “Thank you, Master Kylo.” You ran fingers along his chest kissing his jawline as he was still filling your core with his member.
“Now, get up and dress yourself.” Kylo said coldly throwing you off of him and getting up from bed slowly. He sighed heavily and slowly pulled on his boxers. You blinked in disbelief. Second, before he was the sweetest man you’ve ever met, and now he turned cold.
“Like… Now?” You were in shock that you only pulled his quilt more to your chest. “Why?”
“Like right now.” He growled. “You are leaving my chamber immediately.” Kylo explained looking at you with his cold gaze.
He took your clothes into his hand and threw them on you without a single word. With fear in your eyes, you grabbed them getting dressed fastly.
“Wait. I don’t get something?” You mumbled pulling your trousers up. “Why are you like this? I thought you enjoyed it.”
“I enjoyed playing with a woman that thought she will find love here.” He smiled sarcastically looking into your direction. He walked closer to you. “Time to grow up and get wise, come one, little one. There is no place for love here and there is no time for it either. You are not gonna rule my heart and get a cozy place by my side.” He said with his deep voice. “You just showed me how weak you are. You aren’t my student anymore. Since this moment you are Hux’s assistant. I don’t need such a weak student.”
You buttoned your shirt feeling rage hitting your core. “Yea. I knew someone like you can only use other people for entertainment.” You crossed arms over your chest. “But don’t worry. I take it. Like my Master wishes!” You bowed head theatrically. Knowing it can bring death on you, you smiled at him widely, only to slap his cheek strongly. “Asshole!” You growled moving to the door, and you stopped before you left. “And. Well. At least Hux knows how to satiate a woman.” After these words, you left.
Kylo grabbed your arm and pulled you closer, he wrapped his hand around your throat.
“Listen to me, you little scum… You are no one here. You can die with one snap of my fingers and no one will care. So better watch out what you are saying. Beside, Hux… He said you are an easy slut, we had a bet who will fuck you first… and I won.” He laughed softly. “Don’t pretend, that you are someone when you are an ordinary stray whore.” He said and pushed you away.
“So now I am a whore, right?” You jerked out of his grasp. “Well. I would rather be a cheap whore than a murderer who killed father because of mental instability.”
Kylo even didn’t react to your words. He only put hands behind his back and returned to his chamber.
“Yes! Run! It’s the only thing you can do, little prick!” You yelled at him, not really paying attention to the fact few guards were observing you.
Summary: Peter’s writing math exam when his sense tingled. What will he do?
Words:693
Peter Parker was about passing his exam.
Sitting in the classroom, he was reading the content of the task from mathematics. He was perfectly prepared to this exam, Pater has learnt a lot for last few weeks, just to score a good grade.
Everything was going by his predictions, by the time.
When he felt familiar tingle in his stomach, he realized within second something was going wrong nearby.
Shyly, Peter raised his hand up in the air asking if he can leave to bathroom. His teacher threw him a suspicious glance but agreed letting him leave.
Peter went out of the room and looked around checking if he was alone. When he made sure it was like this, he ran straight to emergency exit and sneaked out of the building.
His spider-sense led him straight into school’s backyard.
Peter found out that three overgrown guys were bullying you, a younger girl from his school and it drove him mad. He good knew how it’s when you’re too weak to say ‘no’ when others are torment you both mentally and physically.
“Hey! You!” He yelled running toward them. “Leave her alone, assholes!”
One of the ruffians looked at them laughing.
“Go away, kiddo. We have some serious stuff here. Go back to the sandpit!”
It didn’t make any impression on Peter. Tony Stark has learnt him to not give up, even when the case seems to be tough.
“I said LET HER GO.” Peter repeated firmly getting ready to attack.
“Are you deaf?!” Guy rushed toward Peter ordering his men to keep you in the place.
He swung the blow into Peter’s stomach, but Parker used his quick reflex to avoid it.
Peter grabbed man by his arms and made a flip above his back pulling him behind, so man was pinned down to the ground.
Peter put his foot on man’s chest.
“Don’t ever again try to bully anyone.”
The two men who were standing behind you rushed toward Peter to help their friend.
“You’re dead!” One of the yelled jumping on Peter.
Young man made a jink crouching, and undercut the legs of the man sending him straight on the ground.
“What the hell!?” third dude blinked stopping in the place and taking step back. “Who the hell are you!?”
“Your worst nightmare!” Peter smiled wryly.
Guys got up quickly and ran away leaving Peter with you.
“Hey. Are you okay?” Parker asked approaching you and reaching hand to you.
“Thank you” you grabbed offered hand and rose from the sidewalk. “Thank you. They bully me since a while. And I’ve never done anything to them” you explained shortly sighing.
“I bet you haven’t” Peter nodded raising your backpack and handling it to you. “Go home and rest. And don’t worry. I know a remarkable person who will kick their asses more if they will not leave you alone” he winked at you.
You took backpack and said bye to Peter, then you quickly left in the direction of bus stop.
But you stopped after few steps.
“Thank you for saving me” you smiled at him smoothing your shirt.
He smiled at you too nodding.
Peter looked at a watch on his wrist and ran back to the school building. He had still 7 minutes to pass his exam.
He got to the classroom and took his place coming back to solving tasks.
Few minutes later the bell rang declaring the end of the lesson. Peter sighed and rose from his chair with test in his hand, like others he came to teacher’s desk and put the piece of paper down hoping he had enough time to solve everything correctly.
A week later his teacher was about gave tests back.
“This one you all have left me down. Exam went pretty petty” professor sighed sadly slowly approaching Parker’s desk and putting his exam on the counter. “But you, Peter… Once again you have surprised me. A-”.
Peter smiled and thanked looking at the window. He was sure now that he can easily combine being a secretly hero with being an ordinary student. And he was sure Mr Stark will be proud.

SUMMARY: You were taken under Kylo Ren’s care since you were manifesting some certain abilities. Your common relationship, however, went in more romantic way, but only when you both were behind closed door of his bedroom. One day, you made him angry by being disobedient. How it’s gonna end?
Author: Cass & Beast
Another day. Another lonely day. You couldn’t help but felt forsaken. It wasn’t like you weren’t finding anything positive in your position at that moment. You quickly got used to the rules on that spaceship. You weren’t allowed to lurk alone along the corridors. You weren’t allowed to talk with the crew. You just had to focus on your trainings and practicing your skills. HE ordered you to be obedient, and you followed without complaining.
But not that day.
You were too bored to sit in one place, so you made a decision about leaving the room. HIS room.
You put on a jacket from uniform, doing everything to not get spotted.
Quietly and carefully, you left the room, and went on the corridor
“Where is she..?” Kylo muttered to himself checking every chamber, including his own room. “What a stupid girl. She will never learn how to obey orders.”
Kylo entered to cargo chamber finally. “HERE YOU ARE!” Kylo yelled full of anger, he grabbed your arm and pulled you to him. “What have I told you about roaming around?!” He growled.
Because of a sudden grasp, you had no time to do anything nor say a word. You slowly raised your chin to look into his eyes. “I am sorry, Master,” you whispered shivering all over your body. “I just… I just wanted to… Forgive me, Master.”
“I didn’t take you in so you can sit and do nothing. We had an agreement and you promised to listen to my every order.” Kylo said firmly, squeezing your arm hardly.
“What are you doing here? This isn’t a place for you.” He grabbed your chin and forced you to look at him.
Tears started to form in your eyes, and your chin was trembling. “Forgive me, Master…” You repeated quietly. “I was just carious what are those creatures.. I didn’t mean to make you angry, my Master.”
His touch was so firm, it hurt like hell, but you took it without questioning his reasons.
“Those are just our payment.” He explained. “Payment for our business. They will be sold in exchange for stuff we need here.”
Kylo only shook his head and drugged you out of the chamber. “Now, you will prepare yourself for your daily training and don’t you dare even to say a word. Six hours instead of your usual two hours will be enough punishment.” He said not even looking at you. Kylo was just looking ahead as he walked holding your arm firmly.
You didn’t even try to protest, you let him do what the hell he had wanted. “Yes, my Master. I’ll do my best to make you proud of my progress.”
The truth was, however, that you were already exhausted from your previous training. Each one of them was rough and tough. But you had no other option than made every Kylo’s wish to come true.
He pushed you into the room. “And better listen to me this time!” Kylo growled at you and then walked away.
He went into the training room and sighed deeply, massaging his temples. “What an unbelievable girl.” Kylo muttered to himself and crossed arms over his chest waiting at you to come.
“Than what are you waiting for? You good know what to do. Train! I will be watching you as always.”
He did as he said. When you were training alone or with your teacher, Kylo was walking around. He was watching you slowly and carefully. He was even smiling from time to time but it was hard to tell, if he was happy or you just were funny to him.
You took a lightsaber from the little shelf, and you started to practice your defending skills. Then, you focused on attack
Your teacher was a high with rank, and of course, there was no reprieve for you.
After some time you were clearly exhausted, that even holding your weapon was too tough for you.
When the time was up, Kylo sighed loudly. “You can go to your room, Y/N. Maybe this will teach you how to listen to MY orders. We will see each other in the chamber in few minutes.” He said without any emotions.
You nodded slowly, and without any single word, you left training room.
Your whole body was trembling from tiredness. Your forearms were so heavy, that you barely could move them.
As soon as you get to the room, you took a towel from a cabinet, and got undressed. You had to take a shower, to wash the sweat and shame off of your body.
Kylo walked into the room, and smiled hearing shower running. He sat on the bed and waited at you.
He smiled widely seeing how you left bathroom just in your towel. He slowly got up from the bed and walked to you. “Too bad I wasn’t the one who undressed you.” Kylo purred.
When you stepped out of the bathroom, and when you noticed Kylo, your heart stopped for few seconds. “Master?” You whispered under your breath looking him in the eye.
It was terrifying. He could went from an angry and dangerous man to a nice and charming person so easily.
When you realized you had only towel on you, a subtle blush crawled onto your yet rosy cheeks.
“We talked about this, Y/N. No "Master” in OUR bedroom,“ Kylo whispered and looked down at your body. "Did I ever tell you how beautiful you are, my love?” He asked and wrapped arms around you.
Kylo kissed your jaw gently, then looked into your eyes. “I’m sorry for earlier, but I need to think about my reputation.” He muttered unhappily.
You let your eyes shut for few seconds nodding. “Yes. Yes. I hate when you’re obligated to be so awful towards me,” you summed up sadly, but let his arms to be wrapped around your waist.
You ran fingers through your still wet hair sighing.
He laughed softly. “But you love when I return to you, don’t you?” Kylo said and nuzzled to you. “I missed being with you.” After those words, Kylo sat down on the bed pulling you onto his laps
You straddled him slowly wrapping arms around his neck. You tangled fingers with hair on the back of his head. “I do,” you confirmed.
You got closer and placed little kisses to his jawline.
“Good.” Kylo smiled and used the moment of distraction to take off your towel. He simply grabbed the hem of it and with one strong move, he pulled it off of you. “You won’t need this.” Kylo summed up and kissed you passionately, grabbing back of your head strongly.
You squealed giggling shortly after. “Someone’s so eager here..” You whispered against his lips. You massaged his scalp smiling at Kylo. You slowly kissed his full lips, biting lower part of them at the end of the kiss.
He growled loudly. “Not only me, as I can see.” Kylo gently grabbed your throat and kissed your jaw. "Now… Take care of your Master, Y/N. Do it now!” He glanced at you.
A wry smile appeared on your lips as you licked them, your eyes were still on Kylo, when you got up from his laps, only to get onto your knees in front of him.
You unzipped the upper part of his uniform, and tugged at his sleeve, looking up at him.
You kissed over his chest, wherever you only could reach. You slowly licked a trail down, from his muscular chest, through his stomach, straight to the fabric of his pants, from time to time looking up into his eyes.
Kylo let out a growl, deep inside of his chest. He watched your every move, biting his lips.
Kylo looked down at you and smiled. His cock was already rock hard. “You are wonderful, Y/N. You know that?”
You didn’t respond as you were too focused on his pants and fly. When you unzipped his pants, you pulled his cock out. You looked at him waiting for his permission.
Kylo put his hand on your cheek. “Open your mouth, little one.” He ordered, stroking your cheek.
You smiled softly, then you opened your mouth, just like he wished.
Kylo’s hand slowly moved to back of your head, he purred and massaged your scalp gently. Suddenly with one movement of his hips and his hand, he pushed his whole length deep into your mouth. Kylo held your head like this for a minute, before pulling himself out of your mouth.
You gagged at first. You barely could breath, but you took him as deep as you could. You hummed around his cock, and you grabbed his base firmly, squeezing it. You started to bob your head forth and back, you hand was moving in the exact same rhythm.
Kylo grabbed a full hand of your hair and began to control your every move, pushing himself deeper and deeper. “You know your Master likes it deep.” He purred with nasty smile.
You nodded as his thick cock slided down your throat over and over again. You sucked on him hardly, taking his length so deep.
You also used the fact you were naked, do while giving him a blowjob, you let your other hand travel down your body, to your yet wet clit. You rubbed yourself humming around him.
“No one,” you gasped deeply. You pumped your hand around his length still. “I love to suck this cock, Master.
This statement was true in every way.
Kylo’s hips bucked a bit at the feeling. He pulled you up a bit. "Make your Master cum and… maybe you will get a reward.” Kylo whispered, his lips were almost touching yours. “Now go back to your work.”
You nodded eagerly. You gave his cock few long licks, then you spitted on it. You took him in your mouth as deep as it was possible. You were bobbing your head fast, your eyes on him checking his reaction. You moved your hand, and cupped his balls, while sucking on him. You squeezed them between your fingers, massaging them gently.
Kylo changed into a moaning mess. He was moaning so loudly, yhat for sure whole ship could hear him, but to be honest he didn’t care. He wanted them all to know. “Such a good girl… Your master gonna cum, beauty.”
You hummed again around his cock sending him some vibrations, then you pull him off of your mouth to suck on his tip. “Cum for your slut.” You looked up at him smiling mischievously.
Kylo smiled back at you and moaned loudly. He was stopping himself for few more moments, but finally he cum in your mouth, coating your tongue with his warm release. “Such a good girl… swallow everything.” Kylo said, breathing heavily.
You moaned also, you slowly swallowed his cum. “Mmmm.. You taste amazing, Master.”
You kissed his cock’s tip, and licked him few more time, waiting for his next orders.
Kylo growled happily. “My laps. Now.” He said simply, looking at you.
You rose from your knees and straddled him once again.
“Mmm.. My good girl. I love you.” He said and kissed you passionately. Kylo pushed his tongue into your mouth, it the same time he pushed himself into your pussy without any warnings.
You couldn’t help and screamed his name at the sudden feeling of being filled to the brim. His cock was thick and rather long. It fitted to your pussy like it would be made just for you. “Kylo!” You screamed gasping for air.
When burning wave faded out, you slowly started to rock your hips moving up and down.
You didn’t say a word. You were maoning and purring. You rolled your hips for more friction, you moved hand to the place you were connected in, and you rubbed yourself.
Kylo laughed softly. “Bad girl.” He pulled and made sure that he was now holding both of your hands behind your back with his strong palm. Other hand traveled to your pussy. “Let’s see, how capacious you are, little one.” He whispered and rubbed you a bit, but suddenly man started to add two of his fingers to his cock into your pussy. He was pushing them in really slowly, watching your reaction.
“O… O…. FUCK!” You squeaked loudly, a cold shiver ran along your spine. “Oh fuck! Fuck! Don’t stop! Don’t you dare to stop, Kylo!”
You were shaking feeling like your pussy clenched around him for the first time. You rocked your hips and your head fell back as you rolled your eyes trying to deal with the pleasure. “Kylo..” You kissed his lips, “I want you to take me rough. I need it to be rough. I want to be stretched out by your cock. Fuck your personal pet.” You whispered against his ear, and not waiting at his permission at all, you simply rose up, his cock slipped out of you.
Rocking your hips you went to his desk and you jumped on it, spreading legs wide.
Kylo kissed you back panting.
He watched you as you walked away. Kylo got up and quickly followed you. “As you wish, my pet.” He kissed you deeply and pushed hard into you. Kylo picked up a really brutal pace that even his desk started to creak. Louder and louder with his every move, he was fucking your cunt just like you have wanted.
Your boobs were bouncing with each thrust of his. You were supporting yourself by holding his forearm. “Harder, Master. This cunt needs you so fucking desperately. Do anything you want to me.”
Kylo only pushed four fingers into you, fucking you even harder. His thumb was rubbing your clit. He growled and kissed you deeply, before moaning into your mouth.
“Harder!” Cold sweat was covering your naked body. You cupped your breasts playing with them, looking at him. “Fuck, it feels amazing, Kylo!”
“My girl..” He moaned and started to bite your neck, thrusting into you even harder. “Fuuck… You master’s gonna cum.” He muttered.
You arched your back wrapping legs around his hide hips to pull him closer to you pulsating sex. You spitted on your hand, and slipped it between you two. “Oh.. FUCK. FUCK. FUCK! KYLO!!!” You yelled as your cunt clenched hardly around his cock and fingers.
Kylo growled and yelled your name loudly as he cum deep inside of you. He slowly pulled his hand out and wrapped both arms around you. Kylo nuzzled to you and laid head on your shoulder, panting heavily.
Your legs were shaking, and your core was pulsating of the emptiness. You slipped hands into his hair. “I love you. Bed. Please.”
Kylo slowly slipped himself out of you. Man kissed your forehead and picked you up. Kylo hugged you and walked with you to the bed.
He laid you there and smiled. “Wait for me.” Kylo ordered and went to bathroom.
You were shivering and trembling all over your body.
You smiled a bit feeling cold slick moisture running down your thighs.
You wrapped yourself in a quilt and waited at him.
Kylo returned to you after few minutes. He had his boxers on. “How do you feel?” Kylo asked as he joined you in bed. He wrapped his arms around you and pressed your back to his chest.
You smiled a bit, your eyelids got dangerously heavy. “I feel amazing. Fulfilled. Thank you.”
You reached hand back tangling fingers into Kylo’s dark hair.
“I don’t want tomorrow to come. We will have to hide our relationship again..”
“Reputation, my love.” He whispered and kissed your nape. “Now, go to sleep you need to rest.” Kylo nuzzled to your shoulder and kissed it
You gave a nod letting your eyelids to fall down. Last thing you remembered was your hand on Kylo’s one, fingers tangled together.
~~~
At morning you were woken up by weird sounds, like quietly screaming. Something soft nuzzled to your cheek.
You opened your eyes to notice little porg onto the bed. You blinked and slowly sat up, holding quilt on your chest. “Hey, little one. How did you get here?”
Porg had a small red bow on its head.
Kylo left room a long time ago but he left a note on his pillow. ‘I have to go. I miss you already. I hope this little Porg will be your good friend and don’t worry about other creatures. I ordered my people to take them back to their planets. Love you, Ben.’
Little tear ran down your cheek. You took porg into your arms stroking its head.
“Thank you, Ben, wherever you are, my love,” you whispered smiling.
Summary: Reader can’t sleep because of a thunderstorm outside. She meets Tony in the kitchen, and he seems to have a remedium for her problem.
Words: 920
It was your first night in Avengers Tower, and you were scared and frustrated. All trainings that you were about to have next day, all meetings…
You were simply overwhelmed by many tasks.
And a thunderstorm.
The night rolled over bringing a threat of a storm. Light was covered by the rapidly falling night. The bright blue sky transformed into an ocean of blackness. Shimmering stars illuminated the moonless, jet black sky, as if to remind us that even in darkness there is still light. The air was still and heavy, thick clouds covered half sky. A cool breeze swept the alienated street. Even shadows were swallowed by the encroaching darkness.
You were terrified of the thunderstorms.
You decided to go onto low ground floor, to the kitchen, to get yourself a cup of tea.
While you were waiting for water to boils, someone has stepped into the kitchen, too.
“Problems with sleep, huh?”
You looked around over your shoulder, and smiled.
Tony Stark was leant against door frame causally, his eyes were directed at you.
You nodded with a little smile on your lips.
“Exactly. You know, I hate storms. All those noises.. They’re awful. I can’t sleep properly while storm’s raging outside the window.” You covered your shoulders with your fluffy nightgown. “I know it’s kinda late, but maybe you want a tea? I’m making myself one..”
Tony took a seat next to you, man shook his head.
“No. Thanks for asking. So. You’ll have your presentation tomorrow’s morning, am I right, Y/N?” Tony asked politely.
“Yep. That’s right.” You sighed. “To be honest, I’m stressed.”
Tony patted your back tenderly.
“Don’t worry, it’s gonna be alright. I assure you, Y/N.”
You smiled at him.
The kettle began to cheep, announcing that the water has boiled.
You rose from the chair, and you poured boiling water to the cup.
“Are you glad you’ve joined us, Y/N?” This sudden question made you confused a bit.
“Well. Taking I’m with you only since few hours… It’s really hard to tell. But yes, I’m glad. Why are you asking, Mr Stark?” You cocked your brow looking at him.
“Tony. Just call me Tony.” Stark smirked at you. “I was just wondering. Out of my curiosity.”
“I see…” You gave him a bright smile, but your smile quickly faded away as you heard a loud thunder. You shivered, wrapping your nightgown more around your figure. “Gosh.. I have to end writing my speech for tomorrow’s presentation… But I won’t be able to focus.. Those thunders, brrr!” You squeaked quietly. You were really terrified.
“Hush, Y/N. I think I know how to help you.” Tony also rose from his place grinning at you.
He went to the intercom, and pressed oblong button.
“Concierge! Bring me Thor here! Where?! To the kitchen. As soon as possible, I don’t have whole night!”
You blinked few times hearing the name of the most recognizable Avenger.
“Mr… Mr Odinson… Why do you need him? It’s a middle of the night..” You asked with eyes wide opened.
“You’ll see.” Tony responded simply.
Thor came to the kitchen after a quarter of an hour.
“What do you need, Stark? What was so important that you ordered that silly human being to wake me up?” Thor yawned, not covering his mouth at all.
Stark laughed shortly and pointed at you.
“This young lady needs a little help, and I think you’re the only one here who can do something to comfort her.”
You blushed throwing Stark the mean glare.
Thor frowned looking at you.
“What can I do for you, Miss?” He asked in deep voice of his.
“Well. I… I just…” You stuttered.
“Y/N is afraid of thunderstorms. And you’re the God of Thunder.” Tony shrugged. “The only person who can stop this mess outside the window, ya know?”
Thor smirked nodding.
Without any more words, he raised Mjolnir up in the air, and said something in Asgardian language. Within few seconds thunders faded away, only rain remained outside the window.
You were staying with a cup of tea in your shaking hands, your mouth half opened as you tried to express any word.
“I hope it helped, Y/N.” Thor yawned loudly, blonde man rubbed his bearded chin. “Now, excuse me, my dear, but I’m sleepy, so I’ll head back to my room, unless you, Stark,” he looked at other man, “needs something more from me.”
“No. That’s all. Thanks, the mightiest Avenger!” Tony bowed his head with a mischievous smirk on his lips.
Thor only rolled his eyes, then he left the room.
Being still in a shock, you swallowed looking at Tony.
“Thanks… I… I’ll go to my room, too… Still have a lot.. A lot of things to take care of..” You mumbled waving hand at Stark, and then you left.
You got quickly to your room, you closed the door, and lied in bed.
“Ah, Thor..” you mumbled with languid voice. “He’s so handsome..”
“ODINSOOOOON!”
You heard someone was yelling on the corridor, immediately you recognized Tony’s voice, so you quickly got up and rushed to your door opening them wide. You stepped onto the corridor, and bursted into laugh.
In front of Tony’s door, just fee millimeters from them, Mjolnir has been set, amd taking Tony’s door were opening on the corridor, he was unable to enter his own room.
“This is what happens when you’re fooling around of God of Thunder!” Thor yelled loudly from his room.
