Chapter 9 - Epilogue

Rey awoke to the first few rays of sunlight that had begun to pool in to her quarters. She looked to the side as saw Ben still sleeping beside her. Rey couldn't help but smile. It was difficult to believe that she really had brought Ben Solo home with her. She kissed his forehead softly and tried to move out of bed without waking him. He just seemed so at peace. Swinging her legs over her bed, she went to stand, grabbing the first piece of clothing available for her to throw on. She smiled to herself when she found it was his sweater that she had plucked up off of the floor. They hadn't cleaned up after their night together since they had fallen asleep. But she smiled as she reminisced about the love they shared all night long together. Rey pulled the sweater over herself and walked over to her sink and mirror to wash her face. She stood looking at herself and noticed the soft bruises on her neck of where Ben had sucked on her. A tingle of warmth started to grow between her legs at the thought and she slid a hand down to touch herself, placing her other hand on the edge of the sink. Rey was so caught up in the feeling that she hadn't heard Ben get up from their bed to come over to her. He stood behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, nuzzling her neck and taking her all in. He couldn't get over the fact that the woman he loved was wearing his sweater. It was too much for him.
"Come back to bed, Rey," he whispered in her ear seductively. His voice was always able to send shivers of pleasure down her spine. But now that their relationship had gotten incredibly physical, it nearly sent Rey over the edge. She gripped one of his hands and lead it down on top of the hand she was using to touch herself. Ben needed no urging and they both rubbed on that spot together as one. Rey threw her head back against his shoulder and Ben took this chance to kiss her now exposed neck. He growled as he heard her moan and kissed her hungrily on her throat. They continued to rub their hands in tandem and Rey gasped at the pleasure she was feeling. She sucked in her breath as she felt Ben's breath right by her ear, tickling her with the warmth in produced.
"I love the way you look in my sweater. I'm going to take you, Rey. Right. Now," he whispered. Rey gasped as he quickly grabbed her hips with both hands and thrust himself inside her from behind. She cried out in pleasure and grasped the sink in front of her as he began to thrust in and out of her slowly at first, thankful that she wasn't wearing anything underneath for this to happen so quickly. It was everything to her in this moment. Once they were settled into an even rhythm, Ben let his hands trail from her hips to grasp both of her breasts, causing Rey to cry out again. He groaned at her response and massaged her breasts until her nipples were erect for him. "Oh Ben…" Rey let out as he continued to thrust into her so sensually, so slowly. She felt as if she was about to burst from all that he was giving her. Ben wrapped one of his arms around her waist while gently holding the front of her neck as he grinded into her a little bit faster. Rey turned her head to the side so she could kiss him and their lips met with a ferocity that helped increase the speed of each thrust. Ben could sense through their bond that they were both close and gave just a few more quick thrusts before they came together, moaning each other's names as they let the afterglow bathe over them. Rey turned around and wrapped her arms around Ben's neck, kissing his lips deeply. Ben hugged her close and kissed her back. I love you, they each whispered through their bond mentally. When they pulled apart, Ben picked her up and carried her to their bed. They laid next to each other and smiled at one another, staring into one another's eyes as their love enveloped them. Ben pulled her close and felt her wrap her arms around him, nuzzling her head in the crook of his neck. They fell asleep in each other's arms, exhausted from their love making once again. It would be time to start their day soon. But Rey continued to smile as sleep came to both of them. Ben Solo was her's and she was his, forever. She had finally found a home.
