After everyone finishes dinner, they spend the night dancing in the ballroom. Ben teaches everyone some traditional Alderaanian folk dances he learned as a child. Laughter and joy is heard all night long. After more time passes, some members from the group say their goodnights and leave. The room empties until it is only Ben, Rey, Finn, and Poe left. Finn and Poe slow dance together as Rey and Ben sway with each other.
"Remember that you two need to sleep in separate rooms tonight," Poe says to the couple.
"Why do we need to adhere to this silly tradition?" Ben teases, although there is a hint of seriousness as well.
"You can survive one night without each other. You'll have your whole lives together," Poe explains.
"Aw, come on Poe. They don't really need to, do they?" Finn asks playfully, rubbing his partner's arm lovingly.
"Well...I suppose…" Poe begins.
He shakes his head and grumbles to himself. Finn kisses him and smiles at his co-general.
"It's their wedding. They've already been going along with more traditions than we thought they would. Let's give them a pass," Finn whispers.
"Oh alright," Poe huffs to himself.
Finn smiles and kisses him again. Then takes Poe by the hand and leads him outside the ballroom.
"Goodnight you two," he calls over his shoulder before the doors close.
Ben and Rey still sway slowly to the music, completely alone together. The music moves their hearts as they swirl about the ballroom. Rey rests her head against Ben's chest and closes her eyes with a smile. Ben rests his head on top of Rey's as he holds her close. One of his hands holds one of Rey's as his other hand rests on the small of her back. It carefully slides a little lower to rest on the top of her behind. Rey lifts her head off his chest and looks up at him. She blushes as she sees his mischievous yet loving smile. He leans down and kisses her deeply, both of them moaning into the kiss.
He releases her hand and lets both of his hands rest above her behind. Rey places her hands on his chest as they continue to kiss passionately, slowly sliding her tongue inside his mouth. Ben growls gently and slides his own tongue along Rey's, making her moan. Her arms slide up around his neck as he moves his hands further down to gently cup her ass, massaging the cheeks lovingly.
"Tomorrow night...I won't be able...to...keep my hands...off you…" he breathes heavily.
His words light a fire inside Rey and she whimpers in arousal. She feels a warmth pool in her belly, spreading lower to her womanhood. Rey kisses him harder as her hands move into his hair, gripping it slightly.
"I...won't...either…" she breathes back.
Ben growls and plants several kisses all along her neck. Rey moans and tilts her head back, allowing him more access to her neck. He hungrily takes what he wants and kisses her all over, licking her in a few places playfully.
"Ohhh Ben…" Rey whimpers.
His lips travel back up and he ravenously takes her lips with his. They moan into each other's mouths as the music crescendos around them.
"Ohhh Rey…" Ben purrs against her lips.
They kiss a few more times as the song slowly fades out. They sigh together, smiling their foreheads connect together.
"I suppose we should get some sleep for tomorrow," Rey says.
"Oh, I suppose so," Ben teases with a grin.
He kisses her again, tenderly but still full of passion. Then, hand in hand, they sway their way out of the ballroom and to their quarters. Their hearts are racing with anticipation for their big day in the morning.
