Chapter Twenty Five-A LOVER

"Now that that's over... Can I still kill him?" Kylo asked as he stood in front of Dayanna, the two standing by her bedroom door.

Shaking her head, she smiled and looked down. "Is murder really your only solution for terrible situations?" Dayanna asked as she lifted her head up, but Kylo looked off for a moment as if thinking.

"No... Not always." Looking back down at Dayanna, his shoulders dropped as she crossed her arms. "What? It isn't always... at least, not 70% of the time."

"Not 70% of the time, huh?"

"Okay... 60-"

"60?" Dayanna lifted a brow as he sighed.

"Alright, 50. 50, that's how low I'm going." Kylo pointed a finger.

"Half of the time, really?" She asked as he slowly nodded, rolling his eyes. "I kind of expected... not 10% of the time."

"10%?!" Kylo exclaimed as she smirked. "I don't always think about murder, Dana. I haven't thought about murdering you!"

"Yet." She lifted her brows as Kylo glared.

"Never."

Feeling a smile grow on her lips, she placed a hand on his chest. "I'm going to take a bath..."

"Like... a bubble bath?" He asked with narrowed eyebrows.

"Yeah, I haven't had one in a while and I want to relax before I depart tomorrow." She breathed before tiptoeing, kissing his cheek. "I will see you later for dinner."

Watching as she turned around, Kylo only reached out for her hand, causing her to look over at him. "Yes?"

"Can I... join you?" He asked as her lips curved upwards.

"Of course." She lowly spoke, turning to open the door as she pulled him in.

Shutting the door behind him as Dayanna removed the small crown from her head, placing it down on her vanity, Kylo removed his cape and sat his helmet (that he held) with it on the ottoman in front of his bed.

Removing her heels and placing them back in her closet, she walked back to Kylo and grabbed his hand as he had removed his boots.

Staying silent, the two moved into her bathroom, Kylo seeing it for the first time—it being larger than he expected. "All this space for a single princess?" Kylo asked. The sink counter was long, the bathtub and shower were separated. The tub itself was large and looked as if it fit more than two people. The shower itself was right next to it, surrounded by glass walls and was wide. There was even a corner that had three large mirrors for when she would change.

"Well, what do you expect? Everything in the palace is exaggerated." Dayanna chuckled as Kylo's eyes wandered back to her own.

"I don't know, honestly." He shook his head before removing his belt, then the top portion of his attire. Dayanna couldn't help but watch, after all, this was only the second time she had ever seen him undress. Every other time he was usually only in his nightwear—which really was just pants... if that.

Watching the way his muscles shifted as his torso was exposed, then removing his pants, Kylo came to a stop as he reached his underwear. Feeling Dayanna's eyes on him, his own trailed up her gown realizing she still had been in it. "What?" He asked, seeing how focused her eyes were on him. Then he realized the small blush on her cheeks. "You've seen me naked before, you should know how big-" Instantly clearing her throat, she swallowed as Kylo couldn't help but smirk.

"There's no need for you to finish that." She shook her head, but Kylo knew she was flustered.

"I don't expect you to wear your dress in the tub." Kylo said, looking at her as she snapped out of her gaze, reaching for the zipper of the gown but Kylo stopped her.
