The evening proceeds with never ending joy, love, and excitement. Aside from sitting down to eat dinner and enjoy a lavish cake, Ben and Rey spend their time dancing the night away together. Many kisses and smiles are shared between them as they twirl around on the dance floor. Music and laughter fills the room all night as the newlyweds swirl together among their friends and chosen family.
It is well into the evening when the music starts to slowly wind down. All of the guests give the couple pats on the shoulders or waves as they leave. A few hugs are given here and there. When the last of the guests have gone, the last few notes of the music fade out as Ben and Rey sway together. They continue swaying long after the music stops, listening to the music playing in their hearts and humming through their bond. Rey lifts her head off Ben's chest and looks up into his warm eyes. She smiles up at him and leans up to kiss him softly. He kisses her back and Rey sighs as she feels him smile against her lips.
"I love you so much, Ben," she whispers.
"I love you more than you could possibly know," Ben whispers back.
They sigh together and kiss again. They move closer together and Rey rests her hands on his chest. Ben's hands slide down her back and rest at her lower back. Their kisses deepen as Rey slides her arms around his neck. His hands slide down and gently massage her behind. Rey moans softly from his intimate touch and Ben purrs as he moves his hands lower still. She moves her hands into his hair and tugs gently. He growls and moves his lips down to her neck, hungrily kissing her soft skin. Rey moans again, a little louder this time before pulling Ben's face back to her ravenous lips. He kisses her back and hugs her close, pressing the tip of his tongue against her lips. She opens her mouth and he slides his tongue inside, growling as their tongues collide together.
The lights around them slowly start to dim. A few more passionate kisses pass between them before they pull apart for breath. Ben nuzzles his nose against Rey's as he places gentle kisses on her face. He makes his way slowly all over her soft skin, kissing her forehead, cheeks, nose, jawline, and chin. Then he pulls back to gaze down at her. His wife, his partner, his Rey. He smiles and brushes a strand of hair from her face and tucks it behind her ear. She blushes and smiles back up at him.
"You are so beautiful when you blush," he whispers, leaning in to kiss her rosy cheeks.
Rey giggles softly and blushes even more. She looks deeply into his eyes, placing a hand on his cheek lovingly. Her husband, her Ben, her family. Without any words needing to be said, they walk together out of the reception hall. Ben slides his arm around her waist and hugs her close. He sighs as Rey wraps her arm around his waist in turn. They leave the room and head towards their quarters. When they reach the door, Ben quickly scoops Rey up into his arms. Her gasp turns into a giggle as he walks them inside. He kisses her deeply before setting her back down again.
"What was that about?" she asks curiously, giggling still from the way he made her stomach feel like butterflies were fluttering inside.
Ben chuckles and slides his hands into Rey's, intertwining them.
"It's tradition for one of the newlyweds to carry the other over the threshold on their wedding night. Don't ask me why," he explains with another chuckle, his cheeks blushing slightly.
Rey leans in close and stands up on tiptoes to kiss him softly.
"You're very handsome when you blush too, my love," she whispers before kissing him again.
He kisses her back and wraps his arms around her. They look into one another's eyes, their hearts racing wildly. Ben smiles and places his forehead against Rey's. She smiles back and closes her eyes at his touch.
"We're finally alone," they breathe together.
