21. I Am Yours As You Are Mine

Apologies for the delay with the last chapter, I had been away on holiday and wanted to get something out to you guys ASAP! So who's excited about the latest development in the story?! I wanted Poe and Lyra's relationship to develop a little before delving into them getting together. To all my Hux fans…. Don't think I've forgotten him, not at all. Not even close, he's still itching to be reunited with his wife after all. Just a head's up, this chapter has an M rating. Ya'll know I always deliver ;)

Lyra woke up the next morning tangled up in Poe's arms. One arm had snaked its way under her head so she rested on it as her own fingertips had reached up to entwine their way through his. His other arm had found its way over her waist and held her to him with his palm spread out across her stomach. If it was anybody else, she would have felt embarrassed having someone touch her stomach so intimately, especially after she knew she had gained weight since joining the Resistance, but with Poe, she felt utterly at ease.

When she released a slow, long yawn, Poe must have sensed her waking up as he quickly hooked one of his legs around her to pull her even closer and began to kiss her neck softly. Lyra brought her free arm up to his cheek as she reached her head back to meet his lips with her own. He made a small, fed up noise, as if he was doing everything in his power to resist waking up.

"Good morning" she whispered to him as she pulled away from his lazy kiss.

"Mmph, not yet" he mumbled back to her, sliding his hand down the side of her body slowly.

"Are you really still tired?"

Poe mumbled incoherently, insisting on pulling her close to him. "Can't we just stay here? I don't think I ever want to be anywhere but by your side again" he told her quietly.

She turned to face him, moving in to kiss his lips once more as she ran her hand over his stubbled cheek softly. "As heart-warming as that is, and truly, it is. We need to move at some point and besides, I'm hungry."

Poe smiled lazily, his eyes still half-closed as he continued to run his hands over her body. "I'm hungry too, but I know exactly what I want to eat" he grinned as he ran his hands over her hips suggestively, groping her backside as his hands trailed along her body.

The move caused Lyra to giggle into his mouth as she silenced him with a kiss before pulling away from him.

"Your father is in this very house, you don't really want our first time together to be in your parents home do you? Once we are back on D'Qar, we will have our own space again…."

Lyra didn't think she had ever seen him move so fast. He practically threw on his clothes before throwing a set of his clothes for her to change into straight after. After they were both ready, he took her hand and led her downstairs where BB-8 greeted them excitedly.

Lyra could have sworn BB-8 was as excited to see her and Poe together as Poe was. It was comforting, to know that Poe's closest companion approved of her spending so much time with his master.

As Lyra made some tea, Poe came up behind her, circling his hands around her waist before kissing her neck. She giggled against him until a loud cough alerted them to another presence in the room.

They turned to see Kes stood against the doorframe, arms crossed as he shot them a knowing smirk, not unlike the one's Leia would so often give them.

"Did I miss something last night?"

Poe grinned as he kissed Lyra's head softly. "Not much, Just Lyra finally admitting her feelings for me and now we are dating."

BB-8 rolled around them as he beeped his congratulations to them.

"Apparently, I am the last to know we are now dating but yes, it's true. I care for your son deeply and your blessing would mean the world to me, as I'm sure it would to Poe as well" Lyra finished.

Kes stepped forward as he surveyed the two young rebels. "You both have my blessing. Seeing my son this happy is all I could ask for. I only wish Shara was here to witness it too."

The eldest Dameron clasped a hand on Poe's shoulder lovingly. "I'm proud of you son, coming out of the fights in this world with more than just war stories is all your mother and I ever wanted for you. I'm glad you've found someone. Lyra, I'm glad you came to visit with my son. It's been wonderful meeting you."

The young woman smiled as she wrapped her arms around Poe's father in a tight hug. "Thank you for letting me stay. It's been wonderful meeting you too."

The three of them enjoyed breakfast together before Poe, Lyra and BB-8 bid their goodbyes to Kes and made their way back to Poe's X-Wing at the docks.

There was a hint of sadness in Poe's eyes as they got on-board the X-Wing. Lyra knew he didn't get to visit home as often as he might have liked to. Quality time with family was something hard to come by during a war, and with Poe always being so busy completing missions for Leia, he had less time than most to spend with loved ones.

"We'll be back soon, I'm sure of it. Once this war is over" she whispered to him as he took off back to D'Qar. He nodded sadly in agreement, though it was clear he was upset.

Sometime during the journey back, Poe's hand crept up Lyra's stomach as he leaned forward to kiss her ear gently. "You know, I could just take you here, it's quiet, we're alone. Nobody could hear you scream" he whispered along the shell of her ear, making her shiver.

"B could hear us, it would be like doing it when a pet is in the room. Besides, you said you wanted the space for us."

Poe breathed against her neck as he felt her shiver again. "You're right, I do. I just can't wait to touch you, taste you, have you begging for more."

She ran her hand along his leg as she looked back at him. "What makes you think I'll be the one begging? I could have you a quivering, sweaty mess before my mouth even got to your hipline Dameron."

This time it was Poe's turn to shiver. He bit his lip as he tried to retrain himself from having his way with her in that same moment. "Are you sure I can't have you right now in this ship?"

She tutted at him. "Poe Dameron, you are a military man. You of all people, should know how to show a little restraint."

"Around you, that's hopeless."

The journey back to D'Qar was painfully slow, or at least it seemed that way. Matters were only made worse by the fact that they were bombarded with members of the Resistance wanting to catch up with them as soon as they touched down on base. Despite only being new to the whole behaving like a couple for a day, it now felt strange to them both to have to walk around base not holding hands and resisting the urge to kiss one another whenever they felt like it, which was now very often. They became acutely aware of how close they were normally, and how blurred the lines were between acting like a couple and acting as two people with intense chemistry and feelings for one another.

Soon enough, the morning slipped into the afternoon and then, the afternoon slipped into early evening. As Poe got talking to Jess Pava about something pilot related, Leia noticed Lyra's lingering gaze on him. She also noticed Poe reaching out his fingers to her behind his back when he believed nobody else was looking.

"Lyra, can I have a word please?"

Lyra's head snapped to the General as Poe retracted his fingers. As he continued his conversation with Jess and some other members of the Resistance, Lyra went to Leia, suddenly worried she had done something wrong.

"General Leia, how are you?"

"I'm fine, how are you? I trust your trip to Yavin was nice."

Lyra blushed as she smiled. "Yes General, it was most, enlightening, and lovely to meet Poe's family and friends from home of course."

The General nodded as she crossed her arms. "Enlightening you say? Meaning, you had time to figure some things out?"

"Yes General, I had the time to figure a lot out."

"Mmhmm. Given that you and Poe are looking at each other like a pair of lovesick porgs I'm assuming you are both together now?"

Lyra stepped closer to the General as her eyes widened. "How did you know? Is it, are we that obvious?"

Leia rolled her eyes. "You could barely keep your eyes off each other when you weren't together and now it's like that's all you can look at. Besides, I know my commander enough to know he's not one for taking people back home with him or reaching out to touch them at every opportunity he gets."

"We are keeping things quiet for now. We don't want people thinking we are distracted from work now."

"Understandable. Though for what it's worth, I'm relieved you are finally doing something about this undeniable bond between you both. It reminds me of Han and I when we were younger, you know, when I wasn't busy pretending to hate him."

Lyra smiled at the General before glancing back at Poe, who was stealing as many glances over to her as he could.

"General, do you think I'm making the right choice, being with Poe?"

"I think you have waited to see if whatever it is between you and Poe is a phase and evidently, it's not. I think you have torn yourself up over a man who perhaps wasn't the one for you when you thought he was and now, I think, you have found something that's right for you. That something, or someone rather, is Poe. So yes, if you want my honest, not entirely professional opinion, I think you are making the right choice, by choosing to be with Poe. Life is too short to not make the choices that make you happy Lyra."

The young Resistance member breathed out a sigh of relief. Being with Poe felt right to her but she would be lying if she said getting the approval of the General didn't mean a lot to her. Leia's opinion meant a lot to her, and knowing others believed her and Poe were a good match together was a great comfort to her.

"Thank you General, that means so much to me. Could you, would you mind keeping this our little secret though, just for now?"

The General nodded and nodded her head towards Poe, indicating Lyra should go to him. When she re-joined the group, she grabbed some food for her and Poe and joined in on their conversations. Much like the flight back to D'Qar, dinner seemed endless too, and it felt like a lifetime until the group left Poe and Lyra to their own devices once more.

"Is Leia Alright?"

"Oh, yes, she's good, she knows about us though."

Poe swallowed his bite of food nervously. "Kriff."

"No it's ok. She's happy for us, and she'll keep it between us, until we decide to not keep it private anymore."

Poe nodded. "So I persuaded one of our mechanics to look after Beebee tonight, make sure his systems are all ok. Which means I have you all to myself."

Lyra couldn't help but blush as Poe spoke. Even now, after that amount of time together, he still made her blush.

"I can't believe I can still make you blush, it's so cute."

Lyra stuck her tongue out at him before taking another bite of food.

"You know Lyra, I don't want to rush you into anything. We don't, we don't have to do anything you don't want to do, I'm not expecting anything."

She frowned. "No, I want you, unless, you wanted to wait?"

Poe shook his head. "Are you crazy? I've been waiting weeks to be with you, I just know you have been through a lot, you are still going through a lot and I don't want to rush you into anything."

Lyra smiled over at him. Even now, when he was desperate for her, he was considerate of her feelings first.

"No, I can't wait around and let the one person who makes me truly happy slip by through my fingers. I want this. I want you."

He nodded his head once as he stared at her. "Well, that's good. Cos sweetheart, when I'm done with you, it's not just your cheeks that are gonna gather some colour. Your whole body is gonna flush."

She smirked over at him. "Big talk, Dameron."

He ran his tongue over his lower lip. "I can back it up sweetheart, just watch me."

They spent the rest of dinner like that, shamelessly flirting before finally, they returned to Poe's room for the night.

As he locked the door behind him, he turned back to Lyra, moving her hair to one side as he kissed up her neck, running his hands along the sides of her body slowly. She moaned as his tongue darted out to lick the soft, sensitive flesh of her neck painfully slowly, causing her to moan at his efforts to seduce her. She reached a hand up and laced it through his thick hair, drawing his face close to hers so she could kiss his mouth. His hands trailed up to her clothed breasts, running his fingertips over them gently as she dipped her tongue so it ran along his own.

She turned to face him as their kisses deepened and Poe's hands went to the backs of her thighs as he hoisted her up, causing her to hook her legs around his waist as he lowered them both to his bed. She wasted no time in pulling his shirt over his head, making him grin down at her.

"Eager, aren't we?"

"You aren't the one who's been torturing yourself over your feelings for weeks. Now I feel like I'm finally allowing myself to have what I want."

He smiled as she ran her hands along his chest slowly, moving her head up to kiss his shoulder.

"And what is it that you want exactly?"

Her fingers traced absentmindedly over his tanned stomach.

"You. In every way possible."

He began to unbutton her shirt as he kissed her.

"Then who am I to deny you that? Just do me one favour?"

"Anything" she breathed against him, fighting every instinct in her body that begged her to kiss him while she allowed him to speak.

"Just for tonight, let me spoil you. It's what I've wanted to do since that kiss in Felucia and I can't wait any longer."

She nodded as his lips latched onto her neck once more. "Who am I to deny you that?"

He worked her out of her shirt, or rather, his shirt before trailing his lips down her collarbone, her chest, and then her stomach before nipping on the soft flesh of her exposed hipbones, causing her to gasp. He reached down to her pants and hooked his fingers into the waistband, watching her lift her hips up slightly to allow him the room he needed to slide them off her.

Poe kissed the tops of her knees as he lay in-between her legs, leaning down to take her bra off. She instinctly reached up to cover herself before the Pilot stroked her hands before moving them away.

"You don't have to hide from me Lyra, I think you're beautiful. I want to see you."

His fingertips ghosted the valley between her breasts slowly before he reached down to take one of her nipples into his mouth, swirling his tongue over the sensitive flesh as it hardened under his attentions. His other hand kneaded her other breast gently as she arched up into his touch, moaning as he moved his mouth to her other breast. It had felt like a lifetime since she had been touched intimately and Poe was very, very talented at what he was doing.

As he kissed her breasts one hand trailed down to her underwear and he palmed her mound, smiling as he saw her sharp intake of breath at the contact. He slid his hand inside her underwear and ran a finger along her slick sex languidly.

"You're so wet. Is this all for me?"

Lyra's hands found Poe's back as she dug her nails in gently as he teased along her slit.

"By the stars, Poe, you know it's all for you."

His thumb trailed along her clit faintly, barely touching it. "I'm gonna have you seeing stars soon enough."

Before she could protest against his teasing, he reached down and slid her underwear off, leaving her completely naked before him.

He leaned up as his eyes stared down at her entire body shamelessly.

"You are so beautiful Lyra, the most beautiful person I've ever seen in my whole, entire life."

Three words tiptoed around her head, they danced on the edge of her tongue, but through fear of rejection, she reached up to lose the words in a kiss instead, sliding her tongue against his own as he captured her head in his hands and kissed her back as though his life depended on it.

As he pushed her gently to lay back on the bed, he moved his lips to her ear as he took one of her hands in his own.

"Just relax now" he whispered as he kissed his way down her body, from her clavicle, down to her shoulders, her chest, her breasts, her stomach, her hip bones and then the inside of her thighs. He nipped the soft flesh of her thighs with his teeth as he looked up at her.

"Lyra, look at me" he whispered to her as he hooked her legs over his shoulders and waited for her eyes to meet his own.

When she looked down at him, eyes pleading as she bit her lip in anticipation, he smirked at her, his own eyes hooded in lust, before leaning down to run his tongue along her wet, warm slit. They locked eyes as Poe began to circle his tongue around her little pearl expertly, his arms hooked around her thighs as he spread her legs to welcome him.

As he sucked the sensitive little bud between his lips, Lyra threw her head back as she moaned loudly and her hands went to his hair, gripping it as he alternated between lapping at her clit and sucking it softly. With her free hand, she reached down to entwine her fingers through one of Poe's hands, wanting to be as close to him as she could be.

He moved his head down slightly as he dipped his tongue into her slit, causing her to moan out again, much to Poe's delight. As her fingers pulled at his hair softly his mouth returned to her small bud once more, flicking it gently as her climax began to build. He released her hand to trail his fingertips down her hips and placed a finger inside of her, thrusting it softly inside of her as his tongue worked against her clit.

Her soft moans and quickness of breath alerted him to the fact that she was close and he sped up his movements, wanting her to come undone against his mouth.

Finally, after a few short moments, her grip on his hair tightened and she cried out as her climax hit her. It was hard and unrelenting, like a wave hitting against a wall, and Poe felt it against his own lips. He lapped up her release, like a man starved of water in a desert before kissing up her thighs as she came down from her high.

Lyra watched him rise up from her thighs and lean in closer to her. His hair was dishevelled, his eyes were still glazed over with lust and his mouth and jawline were coated in her release, it was perhaps the most glorious sight she had ever seen. She kissed him softly, tasting herself on him.

"Told you I could have you seeing stars" he whispered, taking note of her panting.

"And now it's your turn" she finished, twisting around so she could push him down and tug the rest of his clothes off.

Lyra took a moment to appreciate his naked body. He was stockier than Armitage ever was, and his beautiful olive skin was a sight to behold itself. Lyra moved to sit on him, feeling his thick, hard member between her legs.

She took note of his expression, the furrowing of his brow as he tried so hard to stare up at her eyes instead of allowing his gaze to wonder down to her sex.

She smiled down at him as she ran her fingernails along his stomach and chest gently, allowing her wet sex to slide over his member. He let out a soft moan as she did so just as she captured his lips in another searing hot kiss. His hands went to her hips as she pulled away, rearranging herself to sit up and slide back onto his shaft until he was fully inside her. They both let out a cry of relief at finally joining together.

Poe's hands gripped her hips tighter as she began to roll them against him, pulling him into her as much as possible.

He tried to push his hips up against her but Lyra was quick to place her hands on his chest, pushing him down as she took control, all the while, rolling her hips against him slowly. He bit his lip as he failed to hold back another moan. Watching her ride him that way was bringing him closer to his own release quicker than he anticipated.

In an effort to regain control, he moved his hand so his thumb rubbed up against her clit again, causing her to throw her head back in pleasure.

"Is this what you want Lyra huh? To have me touching you, to have me inside of you?"

She nodded but as she tried to speak out in agreement, all that left her mouth were moans and sighs of pleasure.

"Show me where to touch you sweetheart, show me what you like" he said in a hoarse whisper.

She guided his thumb to a particular angle on her clit and then cried out as he rubbed it, bringing her dangerously close to her second climax.

"There? Right there" he panted as she sped up the movements of her hips.

Her legs began to tremble around him as he brought her to release once more, and as she came, he flipped her over so he was on top, lifting one of her legs to push deep inside of her.

Her nails ran along his arms as he held himself above her, thrusting into her at a rhythm that seemed to be perfect for them both. He licked up along her collarbone and neck, where tiny beads of sweat had begun to form, relishing the taste of her in every way.

As he increased the pace, she used her free leg to hook around his waist as her hands went to his backside, clawing at him desperately when words failed them.

Poe looked into her eyes as his own release was in sight. She held his gaze, stroking his cheek gently as she bit back a cry of pleasure as he stroked against her inner walls.

"Lyra..."

"It's alright, let go Poe" she breathed against his neck, biting the flesh there lightly.

That seemed to send him over the edge. One arm went to her hair, gripping it as he let out a loud cry as he pulled out just as his climax hit, falling on Lyra's hips and stomach.

He stay inside her for a few moments as they tried to catch their breath and return down from their highs. When Poe had enough strength, he cleaned himself off of her and moved to lay by her side, holding out his arm so she could settle in the crook between his arm and neck.

A comfortable silence hung between them as she traced light circles over his stomach and he kissed her head.

"That was, I can't even put into words how perfect that was" she whispered quietly against him.

"That, was unlike anything I've ever experienced in my whole life, in the best way possible."

She looked up at him, his eyes still glazed over in lust. "Truly? I was always a little worried I might be, inadequate, what with me only ever being with one other person."

He frowned. "How could you think that? No, Lyra that was, more than perfect. That was, well, let me just say I don't think anything will ever be the same after that. Anything after that would be like going from a 10-bedroom mansion in Yavin to, a hovel in Tatooine."

She laughed. "Interesting comparison, but yes, I agree."

He stared at her smile for a moment, realising he might just be the happiest man in the entire galaxy.

"Stars you're beautiful" he breathed.

She leaned up on her elbows and scooted up closer to his face. "Not so bad yourself Dameron, especially when you cum. Your face is like something out of an oil painting."

He raised an eyebrow. "Well, that's the first time I've heard that compliment, I'll take it."

She grinned before trapping his lips in another kiss, his lips still tasting faintly of her.

"It's true, I would risk sneaking through the Finalizer all over again just to see that face."

He frowned. "Don't say that. I wouldn't have you risk that for me. You never have to be in that place ever again. Not for anybody."

"But I would, for you, I would take the risk."

He placed a gentle kiss on her arm.

"I know what I'm fighting for in this war now?"

"What's that?" She asked.

He twirled a finger through her hair gently.

"A world that's safe for you. A world where we can walk free together. A world where I can come home to Yavin and see you laying there in our room, smiling up at me."

Lyra smiled down at him, lacing her fingers through his as she leaned closer to place a gentle kiss on his nose.

"I've never noticed before, you have freckles on your nose."

Poe wrinkled his nose. "You never noticed them before?"

She shook her head. "I thought if I stared at you for too long I might be too far gone to ever look away at anything else in my life."

He chuckled. "And now?"

She ran her thumb along his jawline slowly. "Now? Now I don't care if that's the case."

His fingers came to rest on a spot below her hip, just on the side of her rear where a little mole sat. "Well, I never noticed this little spot here."

"When would you have seen that spot anyway, with me wearing your clothes all the time?"

"In the cave, in Felucia, when you were just wearing your underwear. Couldn't stop staring. I couldn't stop imagining what I would do to you, if you let me. And now, now this little spot, I'm gonna kiss it until you tell me to stop."

Poe shimmied forward and leaned back behind her to place a soft kiss on the spot, making her giggle. His lips lingered there a while as he peppered her hipbone with soft, gentle kisses before he returned to lay next to her, allowing her to lie back in the crook of his arm.

Lyra yawned and Poe grinned as he moved to lean over her once more.

"You aren't calling time on tonight yet are you? I've got plans for us still, long, languid plans."

She smirked as she felt him harden against her once more.

"Well, I was planning on sleeping but now something else might have taken my interest" she whispered against him as he pulled her into another kiss.

He took her another 3 times that night until eventually exhaustion took them both and they fell asleep, nestled into each other's arms.
