Mara manages to sneak out of Kylo's chamber sometime during the night. She has to get some actual sleep and rest before the mission. She's too psyched about it anyway though, so she knows she won't be able to wind down that much during the night.

General Hux and Kylo are standing in the hanger by the spaceship chosen for Canto Bight and the very important meeting. They seem to be chatting loosely about something, but they both stop talking when Mara comes walking over, wearing a long, purple, silk dress with splits up to her thighs, black lace going down in a V down her chest, revealing her cleavage. Her hair is long, and sleek, and sparkling earrings shine in-between her locks. Her arms are covered in lace up to her elbows, looped on like gloves forming a V from her middle fingers. Her lips are painted to match the dress, and Kylo can't take his eyes off her.

"Well, someone's sure dressed the part for the mission", Hux says and straighten himself up, looking at her, then at Kylo, which is wearing his usual black uniform, but Mara notices it's new and crisp, his way of dressing the part.

"Good luck, then", Hux says and sees them off boarding. Mara nods and walks on first, and Kylo's lips part as he sees the long, black V of lace going down her back, all the way to where her posterior begins. "Behave", Hux says right before Ren boards. Kylo looks darkly at him, mostly because he's not sure what to make of the General's comment; if Hux thinks he will mistreat Mara, or treat her.

Once they are out in open space, Starkiller base a safe distance behind, Kylo speaks. "That dress... It's a weapon in a class of it's own", he smirks. "You like it?", Mara asks. "You look beautiful", Kylo replies and smiles. Mara mellows. "Thank you. You look pretty sharp yourself".

They come out of hyperspace, Cantonica in range. "Are you ready for this?", Kylo asks. "I was born ready", Mara replies. Kylo smiles. "I know you can land this deal".

They enter the casino the merchants have chosen. "I'll wait here by the bar", Kylo says. "You com me if you need me". Mara nods agreeingly. "Good luck", he says, longing to kiss her. They lock eyes before Mara nods again, walking towards the party.

One hour and thirty minutes later, Kylo is ready to break every piece of glass behind the bar. He's worried sick, hoping all is going well. The meeting is secluded, and he can't see what's going on. He knows the guy beside him is stationed on duty to watch him, and he can't break his promise to Mara and fuck something up just because things are moving slower than expected.

Suddenly there is a blast coming from the alcove where the meeting is being held, and Kylo doesn't care anymore, he runs for it.

"Don't you dare trying to screw me over, you fucking bastard. We had a deal, you gave me your word!", Kylo hears Mara shout. Someone is whimpering, like in massive pain, and a couple of creatures come running towards Kylo, but pass right by him. Kylo's lightsaber glows red in the gloomy den as he approaches the meeting. "I'm sorry! You'll get what you want! I'm sorry! Please don't hurt me anymore!", someone's pleading Mara. "As much as I'd like to rip your pathetic excuse for a head off your shoulders, I'll let it stay on as long as you cut off another 10% of the total. You owe me that, you worm".

Kylo rips the drape aside, his eyes black as coal. He sees Mara standing, her dress has slipped down her right shoulder, a small blaster in her hand. The so-called worm, trader Gento Mackwie, sits on the opposite side of the table with a hole in his leg. Kylo has to fight back both his rage, and an amused smirk. Mara's got the whole thing under control.

He locks eyes with her for a split second, and then they nod quickly, stating that the situation is being handled by her. Kylo turns around, shutting off his lightsaber, waiting for the deal to be closed.

"There, you crazy bitch", Gento Mackwie says and storms out of the alcove as fast as he can with his shot up leg after signing the final agreement. "They better assign someone else to pick up the merchandise", he mumbles in passing. Kylo can't hold back the smirk no longer. He turns to look at Mara, who's grinning. "That was... Where did you keep your blaster?", he asks, studying her, her dress. "Why don't you come in, close the drapes and I'll show you", Mara teases.

They sit down close together. Kylo wants to know what happened, but he's too blinded by her beauty, and too turned on by her fierceness, to ask.

Mara puts his gloveless hand on her left thigh, leading it up towards her womanhood, under the silk. Suddenly Kylo feels a holster and smirks. "Ah, I see", he says, leaning in to kiss her, his hand still up her thigh. He starts to touch her. Mara moans, turned on by all the prior excitement, and for the coming action. Kylo pleases her till she comes, moaning against his mouth, kisses wet and delicious. Mara opens his pants, her hand finding his manhood, jerking her hand up and down his shaft. He grunts. His cock feels hard and powerful in her hand, and she works it just right. Then he bursts, coming big, throwing his head back, trying to choke down a deep roar of satisfaction.

They make out, and order some drinks, deciding to stay at the casino for some hours before having to get back to base. Here they can be who they are, and what they are; madly in love with each other.

Close to dawn, they come out of hyperspace near Starkiller base. Mara's told Kylo what went down during the meeting; Gento Mackwie had tried to cheat her for several weapons, and the going price rate, and he also tried to put some moves on her, thinking she was easy and stupid. That was when Mara had fought him off and blasted his leg, tired of his dance trying to lure her for weapons and a sum almost agreed upon. He though Mara was sent to recite the proposal, trying to play him with her dress and looks. Gento understood a little too late that it was Mara's pitch, and there was no fooling her.

They land in the hangar, giving each other a long, longing look before they have to get off the ship as General Hux, and Leera, followed by half a dozen Stormtroopers march towards them.

Mara smiles at Leera as she walks down the ramp, but her friend's face is grave. So is Hux's. Kylo tenses as he comes down the ramp, as he senses that they are in a very hostile mood. He stops by Mara's side.

"There have been some high treason playing out right under our noses", General Hux says and looks from Mara to Kylo, and back to Mara. "Does this chip look familiar to any of you?", he asks sharply. Mara stops breathing, and Kylo goes rigid. "I though so", Hux goes on. "Take Lieutenant Mara to a prison cell. Ren, Supreme Leader Snoke wants to see you".
