Our secret moments in a crowded room

They got no idea about me and you

There is an indentation in the shape of you

made your mark on me, a golden tattoo

Eyes meet from across a crowded room. The battle went on around them, but it was as if the Force slowed time down for them, allowing them these few stolen moments of glances and exchanged looks full of heat, lust, and promise. Neither of them should be feeling what they feel for the other. They were on opposite sides of the war, and yet it was as if the Force connected them and was driving them together. It was slowly driving them each mad and they both were on the verge of breaking.

All of this silence and patience, pining and anticipation

my hands are shaking from holding back from you

all this silence and patience, pining and desperately waiting

my hands are shaking from all of this

Lightsabers crossed in battle, red vs blue, light vs darkness. Neither wanted to relent to the other, eyes locked and all of their feelings for each other shooting back and forth and striking like lightning. There was a world of promise in those heated looks during battle. Finally, red pulled away from blue and retreated down a hall. Blue gave chase, leaving the battle behind. He shakes her, turning down a small, unoccupied corridor to wait for her.

Her tunic and wraps clung to her upper body, soaked with sweat from the battle. It was quiet. She slowed to a stop, trying to sense where he had gone. A hand reaches out, pulls her down the corridor, before pressing her against the electrical panel. The heat of his body against hers was intoxicating. She desperately wanted more from him, wanted him to press against her tighter and to take what rightfully was his. His dark hair hung in his face as he gazed at her.

"There's no going back if you let me move beyond having you in my arms, Rey."

"Ben… I don't want to stop you… I won't stop you… I can't…" Lips descended upon Rey's, cutting off her rambling sentence without further hesitation.

Say my name and everything just stops

I don't want you like a best friend

Only bought this dress so you could take it off

carve your name into my bedpost

Cause I don't want you as a best friend

only bought this dress so you could take it off

All too soon, his lips left hers. She could feel every part of her trembling. She understood now what the Force was trying to show her, to show them. His hand caressed her cheek and she glanced up.

"I don't want to go."

"I don't want to walk away from you Rey. I can't walk away." She sighed and grabbed Kylo's hand.

"Ben…" He shushed her with a gentle finger.

"I don't want to walk away but tonight I have to, my darling Ray. I will come see you tonight, as soon as you are alone in your bed chambers." She nodded and pulled him down for another kiss. She could feel him against her and it almost broke her willpower. But she eventually pulled away, breathless. Who knew evil knew how to love and to convey love like that? Who knew that the dark side of the Force could kiss a girl and change her life forever?

"Ben… be careful. I'll tell my people I lost you." He wordlessly nodded as he stepped back. He reached out an ungloved hand and she touched it, fingertips to fingertips. Their connection exploded with the emotions they were too scared to convey out loud. He pulled back a little bit further, put his mask back on, before disappear. She watched him go before turning and going back the way she came. Finn and Poe were looking for her and she boarded the millennium falcon with them. Kylo gave her a gentle caress through the Force bond as the falcon took off into hyperspace.

Inescapable, I'm not even gonna try

And if I get burned at least we were electrified

I'm spilling wine in the bathtub

You kiss my face and we're both drunk

Everyone thinks they know us

but they know nothing about

Rey walked slowly down the corridors of the Resistance's secret base, lost in thought. She didn't know what would happen if anyone on either side of the war found out about her and Kylo… Ben. She turned almost absentmindedly and almost ran into Finn and Poe talking. She stopped, almost apologized, but she realized neither men even knew she was in the hallway.

"Are you ashamed Finn?"

"No why would you think that?"

"You don't want to tell anyone…"

"I want to tell everyone! I want everyone in this forsaken universe to know that I, Finn a former stormtrooper, am in love with Poe Dameron, fighter pilot and leader in the Resistance!"

"Then why…"

"Because somehow the First Order would find out and use it against me! What if you were taken prisoner by the First Order and tortured and they found out that you and I are a couple?! I couldn't live with myself Poe!" Rey didn't know if she remembered how to breathe. She knew that there was something going on between Poe and Finn but she didn't expect that.

Poe's face broke into an understand grin and he pulled Finn close to him. A hand connected with Finn's chin gently and forced Finn to look at Poe.

"Finn, I would gladly die for you." Finn just stared at Poe and as soon as lips connected, Rey turned and quietly left the two alone and went to her chambers. She slipped into the shower, letting hot water run over her body and her clothing. She hadn't bothered to strip out of her clothing, for she was too lost in thought.

Hands startled her but lips against her neck calmed her as the hands slowly removed her clothing for her before drawing her back into a hard chest littered with scars…
