Chapter 15
The trip back to base was quiet. When they landed, they said their goodbyes and Rey headed back to her quarters. She couldn't wait to get out of her dress and shoes. She entered her room and used the Force to lock her door. She was upset at Poe, and anxious that the mission failed to give them any new, real leads. She felt him near before she heard his voice.
"What's wrong?"
She turned toward his voice. "What do you mean?" She was annoyed. He was standing there in his tunic and pants.
He studied her dress and then smiled. "Stunning…" he whispered. "I see you have caught onto my sense of color. Very First Order of you." He smiled mischievously.
She gave him a look. "I didn't put this on for you…" She took off her necklace and put it on her dresser.
He watched her as she kicked off her heels. "Who did you put it on for?" He sounded like he was getting angry.
"This thing I had to go to. Very fancy." She was having a hard time getting the zipper of her dress unzipped. "A little help please," she said as she turned her back to him.
She felt him move behind her. He unzipped her dress and it fell into a pool at her feet. He leaned forward, smelled her hair, and pushed the drape of fine brown hair aside to expose her neck.
He wrapped his arms around her and began to kiss her neck. Rey gasped and put her hands over his hands. He turned her around. She pulled his tunic over his head and threw it down. Their lips met and they kissed deeply as he picked her and carried her to the bed.
He placed her gently on the bed and laid down next to her. He brushed the hair away from her face and looked into her eyes. "You mean everything to me, Rey," he whispered.
She put her arms around his neck and pulled him into another kiss. He pulled her closer as he gently continued to kiss her.
She pulled away and put her head against his firm chest. "Ben…," was all she could say. There was so much more she wanted to tell him. So many feelings that were overwhelming her. She felt like she was going to explode.
He held her close. She realized she was shaking. She could feel his confusion and fear. "Rey?"
She looked up at him. Ben's eyes were full of concern and desire. And tonight felt different. Tonight she felt vulnerable, nervous, exhilarated. All her senses were alive and she felt like the room was vibrating and holding its breath. Could he feel it too? The difference in the air around them? Rey sat up on her knees and looked at him lying there. Rey kept their eyes locked as she reached over and undid the button on his pants. His eyes quickly looking at her fingers then he looked deeply into her eyes again. She pealed the two layers of clothing from him, freeing his erection. He looked vulnerable just like she felt. He was barely breathing.
She straddled his hips and he sat up to up his arms around her. She could feel his erection pulsing between her legs as he began to kiss her deeply. She rose on her knees in order to place his hardness where she wanted it. He plunged deep into her as she rocked back. Their kiss broke as both gasped. She began to rock steadily as they continued to kiss. His hands grabbed her hips for guidance then one hand moved up her back and into her hair. Her moans mixed with the sound of his grunts as their rhythm increased. He broke their kiss as he moved his lips down her neck and he lightly bit at her pulse point. She gasped and he picked her up and placed her on her back. His thrusts quickened and became more determined as he looked into her eyes. The warmth spread quickly all over Rey, her climax approaching. His lips crashed into her and kissed her passionately. She felt his explosive release and it sent her over the edge of ecstasy. Together they laughed quietly, him against her neck and her holding him tightly. She never had felt more loved, more whole. They gazed lovingly into each other's eyes.
"I am yours," she breathed.
He smiled. "I know." And he kissed her.
