Seventeen

                                    

                                          
Artemis sat in her room, she kept thinking about her interaction with Ap'lek, it made her stomach turn to see him upset with her. She had another shower trying to wash off the luxurious scent. She felt disgusted that she liked her boss. She felt disgusted with herself.
                          
She sat in the hazy bathroom in a towel on the toilet. She didn't feel like moving. She had so many conflicting thoughts and feelings. What took her out of it was the sound of her doors hissing open. Only she can open it, she had the key. Who else could come in? She began to panic. She got up and grabbed a shampoo bottle. She peeked outside to see a tall black mass looking around her room. She opened the door wider and sighed with relief. 
                          
Kylo looked over at her. His mask sat at her desk. "So... Small." He stated with disgust. 
                          
"Well, not everyone has a high rank." She put the bottle back in the shower and entered her bedroom, clinging on her towel. 
                          
He smirked at her as he took his gloves off. "Another shower?" 
                          
"I-I needed to think." 
                          
His smile dropped as he scanned her red eyes. He took two strides and was right in front of her. He grabbed her face so she couldn't hide her sorrow. "What happened?" His tone was rough.
                          
"Please, leave." She said in a small voice.
                          
"Why?" 
                          
"Because a person of high rank isn't allowed in my room, not without reason. Doesn't it make you look bad?" 
                          
"What happened, huh?" He asked softly. "You can tell me." She shook her head. "Artemis," he warned. "Tell me." 
                          
"I don't have to tell you everything!" She hissed roughly. "I-I'm also naked." She hugged her towel for dear life. 
                          
"I've already seen you naked." He purred as he flicked hair off her shoulder. "Tell me what happened, Artemis." He ordered.
                          
"No." She replied firmly. 
                          
"Do I have to force it out of you?" He asked, pulling her close. 
                          
"Kylo. Stop." 
                          
"Did Ap'lek do something?" He watched her bottom lip quiver. "He did. What did he say? Was he angry?" 
                          
"Kylo," She growled. She sighed and rested her head into his chest. He hugged her close. "Don't be mad at him. He just is really hurt. I think he still likes me for some reason. I feel awful but he.. he... Don't be angry with him." 
                          
He played with her hair. "What did he do?" 
                          
"H... He looked into my mind." He pulled back hastily. Kylo looked very angry. "Kylo, don't." She grabbed his arm, in the process her towel began to fall, showing her breasts, she hastily pulled back to fix her towel. He grabbed his mask. "Kylo, no! Please!" She started crying and that caused him to freeze. "I-I know it's wrong-"
                          
"Beyond wrong, Artemis!" He growled. "He invaded your mind! What did he see?" She hesitated. "I'm not playing games, what did he see?" 
                          
She started crying again. "U-us..." She started sobbing. "I-I didn't want him to see it. He saw us..." He was already getting ready to leave. "Please don't, Kylo." 
                          
"If you think I'm just going to let him get away with that-" 
                          
"Don't!" She blocked the door. "Don't. Don't hurt him." 
                          
"I will punish my knights whatever way I see fit. He invaded your mind, if you think I'll let him off, you're wrong. Did it hurt?" She refused to answer and that pissed him off. "Artemis!" He made her flinch. "Did it hurt?" She slowly nodded her head. "Good girl. Thank you." He tilted her chin up at him, her bottom lip trembling. "I'll stop by tonight. He won't do that again."
