Author's Note: Hello! Just a few things before you start! For everyone who read this story before I changed it, this chapter does have a lot of changes in it, it is not the same as the old one! The story will be filled with NSFW scenes, starting right off the bat, and will have a lot of swearing. A lot of characters might be very out of character, and if that bothers you I apologize! If all of that is okay, enjoy! If not, this story isn't for you! Thank you for reading, and comments/reviews, favorites and follows are always appreciated!

Rey had never seen anything like California before. She stared out the window of her Aunt's car, her face pressed up against the glass. The vast ocean lay just beyond the coastal road they drove on, and the shore was dotted with trees and bushes. Growing up in a little town surrounded by the vast Sahara Desert, Rey hadn't seen this many trees or a large body of water like this in all of her nineteen years.

She leaned forward towards the front seat, where her Aunt and Uncle sat. "Is all of California like this?" she questioned hopefully.

Her Uncle Han laughed. "Mostly," he said. "Lot's of ocean. And lots of people too."

"Maybe Ben will bring you down to the beach," her Aunt Leia chuckled.

"Don't get her hopes up, Leia, Ben hasn't been to the beach since he was three years old," Han reminded her. He turned to look at Rey. "You remember how he was the last time we visited you guys, a few years back? He's got this weird thing about sand. It makes him throw a fit."

"Doesn't everything…?" Leia sighed sadly.

Rey wasn't particularly excited to see her cousin. He had always been a little emotional and negative, but she could always make him smile when he really needed it. They had used to Skype-call each other a lot when they were a bit younger, but lately, Han and Leia had said he didn't talk to many people, that he would throw fits of rage when even the smallest thing bothered him. But she was convinced that they would still get along.

"He should have a room all set up for you. We'll check in on things every so often, okay? And you'll text us if you ever need anything, right?" Han questioned.

"Of course, thank you so much for helping me out with this." They drove towards the city and Rey's eyes widened. "Is that the city?!" she asked, a huge grin on her face.

"Sure is, kiddo," Han laughed. "Welcome to San Francisco."

"When will your cousin get here…?" Hux yawned, stretching.

Ben pulled the cigarette out of Hux's mouth and putting it between his own lips, sucking on it. "They shouldn't be back till tomorrow…" He leaned up and kissed the naked redhead gently. Hux kissed him back, licking Ben's lips before staring into his dark eyes and taking his cigarette back.

"Would you like me to stay?" Hux asked innocently, cigarette between his teeth, running his fingers through Ben's black hair.

"If you'd like," Ben blushed, looking down a bit. He was yanked back by his hair, making him gasp and forcing him to look up at Hux.

"You have to tell me, my love, or I won't know," he told him sweetly, keeping his tight hold on Ben's hair. "I do wish to know why I should stay for a little whore like you~"

Ben grunted a bit in pain. "H-Hux…" he begged, staring up at him. Hux pushed Ben so that he was face first on the bed, getting behind him and grabbing the lube that was haphazardly laying on the floor.

Sex with Hux was always rough and meaningless, and Ben never felt happy when he was with him. But he had no choice, he couldn't make his boss angry. And he certainly couldn't quit. Hux pushed into him after they were both adequately prepared and Ben couldn't contain the whimper that escaped his lips. He heard Hux snicker a bit and felt his hair getting grabbed roughly again. Hux leaned down to whisper dirty things in his ear as he thrust into him, making Ben clench his eyes shut. Then, there was a knock on the door and Hux froze.

"Fuck!" Ben hissed. Hux pulled out of him and sat on the bed. Ben started pulling on his clothes, swearing profusely.

"I thought they weren't coming back until tomorrow," Hux growled.

"They weren't!" Ben said angrily. He took a deep breath. "I'm very sorry, Hux, this was unexpected."

"Whatever, just deal with her, I have to get back to work," he mumbled, getting up.

"You got that, Rey?" Han asked, offering to take her suitcase from her.

"Yes, thank you though," Rey smiled, holding her suitcase tightly.

"His friend is over, it smells like cigarettes…" Han said, wrinkling his nose in disgust. He tried to knock on the door again with Rey's few boxes in his arms. "Ben! We're here, can you open the door? And what have I told you about smoking?!"

"Fuck off! I'm coming!" came a yell from inside the apartment. Han sighed and set the boxes on the ground. He rattled the door handle, finding it locked. He crossed his arms and turned to see Rey, who looked concerned.

"How can he say something like that to you, you're his father!" she said, completely shocked.

Han rolled his eyes sadly. "Tell him that…" he mumbled.

A moment later the door finally opened and Ben towered in the doorway in a pair of sweatpants and a hoodie, a cigarette in his mouth. "I thought you weren't coming till tomorrow," he snapped down at Han.

"Hello to you too, Ben." Han glared at him. "You shouldn't put that crap in your lungs." He reached for the cigarette. Ben slapped his hand and leaned away from his father.

" 's not up to you what I do with my lungs," he told him firmly.

"Oh right, I forgot you're a big adult man," Han mocked him lightly. Ben glared at him, then took the cigarette in his fingers, sucking on it, then taking it out of his mouth and blowing the smoke out. He held the cigarette behind him, handing it to the just slightly shorter redhead behind him, who was fully clothed. "Hi, Hux." Han greeted the young man bitterly.

"Mr. Solo," Hux said coolly. He held the cigarette in his hand and pushed past Ben in the doorway, leaning up and kissing him deeply. "I'll see you tomorrow then, sexy?" He brought a hand to his ass, and the other to his cheek as he licked the taller man's lips.

Ben grunted. "If I show up," he teased, before Hux kissed him deeply and intimately. Ben tried to make it seem consensual and loving and casual. Han coughed, trying to get their attention. Hux ignored him for a few seconds longer until he pulled away, biting Ben's lip. He touched his forehead to Ben's and winked. "I'll text you, dear," he told Ben softly, smirking a bit and let go of him, pushing passed Han and glaring at Rey, going down the stairs. He passed Leia without saying a word, even when Leia greeted him politely. She huffed and went to Ben's door.

"I really dislike him, he's very disrespectful," Leia told him seriously.

"Don't talk about him like that!" Ben yelled protectively, a warning in his voice.

"Ben, keep your voice down," she said, giving him a warning gaze. "I think he's a very bad influence on you, and while I'm glad that you've found love-"

"I don't need your approval, Mom!" he snapped, crossing his arms

"Ben Solo, do not yell at your mother! For Christ's sake, help move your cousin in!" Han snapped, putting his foot down.

Ben grabbed Rey's boxes and carried them inside without a word, bringing them into a mostly empty bedroom. "Rey, this is your room, enjoy," Ben told her shortly, walking back to the door. "Alright, bye Mom and Dad!" He pulled Rey into the apartment.

Han glared at Ben. "Ben, don't hurt her. Please," he said, seriously. "Text us if you need anything Rey-"

"ALRIGHT, BYE MOM AND DAD!" Ben said again, yelling this time. He slammed the door shut in their face and stormed into his room, slamming that door shut too.

Rey hesitated, then opened the door. Leia looked at Rey. "Are you okay? Are you going to be okay staying here?" she asked worriedly.

"I'm okay… I can handle myself," she smiled nervously. "Is he always like that…?

"Yeah. He refuses to go to court ordered anger-management,," Han said.

"We'll talk about that later, Han…" Leia nodded. Han sighed and nodded, going downstairs after kissing Rey's forehead. Leia looked back at Rey. "Rey, sweetie, I am so so sorry about Ben…"

"Auntie, it's okay," Rey said. She smiled thinly. "I can handle-" There was a loud shatter from Ben's room followed by shouted profanity.

"Oh dear…" Leia sighed. "Just don't go near his room right now, and you'll be safe." She kissed Rey's forehead "Good luck at your new job, Rey." She smiled and left. Rey shut the door and looked around. The apartment was very nice, well decorated and clean.

Rey stared at her cousin's door and quickly went into her room, shutting her own. She shivered a bit and took a deep breath, starting to unpack her things, setting up her things to make it her room.

Once all her posters were hung up and her clothes were hung up or put in drawers, she sat on her bed with her laptop and went onto her email account.

Hi, Dad,

I got to Ben's alright, and I'm all unpacked. So I'm emailing you just like you asked. Aunt Leia and Uncle Han say hi! I hope you email back soon.

Lots of Love,

Rey (P.S. Miss you already)

Rey jumped when she heard a knock on her door. "C-Come in," she said, sending the email and shutting her laptop, sitting up. The door opened and Ben walked in. Rey froze. "A-Are you alright?"

Ben shrugged. He had the hood of his hoodie over his head. He shut the door silently and walked over to her, sitting backwards in her desk chair, leaning his arms on the back of it. "Hey, Rey…" he said softly.

"Um.. hey…." she said awkwardly.

"How's Egypt been?"

"Algeria…" she corrected. He shrugged. "Um… hot… sandy…"

"I hate sand…" he mumbled, resting his chin in his arms.

"Y-Yeah…." she said. She glanced at the door.

"If I had any intention of hurting you, I would have done it already and you wouldn't have made it to the door," he told her, watching her. She gulped. "I came to apologize… that was a pretty shitty way to welcome you to San Fran…"

"Yeah…" she agreed. He chuckled. Now that she had a chance to look at her cousin, she could see that his curly black hair had grown out to about his shoulders, and he had grown into his body a lot since he was ten, no longer awkwardly tall and bony, but tall and muscular. She also noticed that he now hand bandages wrapped around his fists, blood seeping through them. Rey guessed he must have cut himself when he broke whatever he had broken in his room.

"Don't stare, it's rude." He smirked when Rey jumped and started to apologize. "So, this new job… where is it?"

"It's about ten minutes from here…" she told him. "It's just an office job, I'll kind of be a secretary, I guess."

"Alright… I have to work tomorrow," he told her. "Does eight thirty sound like a good time to leave?"

"Sure, I'll be up by seven," she agreed, smiling a bit.

He got up. "Cool, see you at seven," he said. He walked out, not saying another word.

"Um… goodnight?" she called to him. She heard his bedroom door close and she sighed, locking the door, just in case. She changed into her pajamas and turned off the light, setting the alarm on her phone and climbing into bed. She didn't realize how exhausted she was until she felt herself immediately fall asleep.
