Chapter 2

Rey jumps to her feet and reaches out for her lightsaber. It flies to the air but is intercepted by a gloved hand. It holds tightly onto the blade, feeling the power of Rey's pull as she continues to reach for it. The man behind the gloved hand chuckles softly as he manages to hold to the lightsaber long enough to tire out the girl standing before him. He watches as she lets out an exasperated huff and crosses her arms over her chest. His eyes can't help but gaze at her shirt almost open to expose her small but firm breasts. A smile pulls at his lips as looks upon the girl he hasn't seen in months but has been trying eagerly to find. Rey huffs again as her eyebrows furrow slightly. She tries to hide her previous emotions and thoughts from the man standing suddenly in her room.

"What do you want, Ben? I don't have anything to say to you," Rey says with a stern tone. She shifts her stance which causes her hips to lean to one side. Rey has to keep herself calm when she hears his light chuckle again. Her eyes lock with his and it is difficult for her to hold her ground, but she persists as best she can.

"Really? Nothing? You have nothing to say at all to me?" Ben asks in a teasing tone, his rich voice echoing off the walls of Rey's room. He takes a step forward and watches as Rey stands her ground. Ben admires how strong this girl from Jakku continues to become. The man continues taking slow steps forward until he is almost chest to chest with her. He looks down at her with a smile that practically makes Rey's legs tremble.

"Then why call out to me?" he whispers. Rey shudders at his whispered words, forgetting how soft this man can be even with how angry he is most other times. She chances a look into his eyes and immediately finds herself swimming in the deep, brown pools. Rey opens her mouth but finds it difficult to speak, especially with how close Ben is to her. This does not escape his notice whatsoever and he relishes this discovery. She still thinks about me, he thinks to himself.

"Have you changed your mind?" Ben asks gently.

"W-what?" Rey stammers. She is completely caught off guard by his question, her focus solely on making sure he cannot read it and see what she was doing before he showed up.

"About joining me," Ben clarifies, stepping closer still. He carefully takes off one of his gloves and drops it to the floor. Cautiously, he lifts the nude hand close to Rey's face. His bare finger trails slowly across her jawline as he watches Rey shudder and close her eyes. A moan escapes her lips and Ben has to fight everything in his being not to react to what he has just heard…what he has wanted to hear for so long. He feels a stirring in his pants and tries to ignore it as best he can.

"It's not too late," Ben whispers as his finger travels from her chin back up her jawline. He pushes a lone strand of hair behind her ear before carefully placing his palm against her cheek. His heart pounds beneath his ribcage as he watches Rey melt into his touch. They stand like this, stealing such precious moments together. Rey sighs but then opens her eyes in a flash. She shakes her head and brushes past him as she makes her way to the other side of her room. Her arms wrap around herself as she takes a breath and turns to face him. She flinches slightly at the hurt she sees in his eyes but presses on.

"No, Ben. I haven't changed my mind. I will not join you on the Dark Side," Rey replies as confidently as she can. Many seconds of silence pass between them. Ben looks down to the floor and sighs. Rey watches and feels his sadness tug at her heartstrings. But then she watches as a smile tugs at his lips before he pulls his gaze from the floor and back into her eyes.

"So…if you haven't changed your mind, what made you call out to me?" Ben asks in a curious tone. He watches Rey squirm and slowly pushes into her mind when she doesn't respond.

"Stop that! It's none of your business!" Rey snaps as she feels him trying to break down her defensive walls. She walks backwards until her back hits the wall. Ben drops his hand but moves over to her until they are a breath apart. He watches as her lips tremble and he feels another stirring, stronger this time. Rey's chest moves up and down haughtily as she tries to calm herself from having him so close to her. The smile on his face, a smile of realization, nearly kills her.

"You…want me…" Ben breathes at last after moments of just stares and heavy breaths between the both of them.

"W-what? No, that's not-" Rey begins.

"Don't lie to me, Rey. You can't hide what you feel from me," Ben interrupts. Rey gasps at his words as her palms press against her on the wall. Her breath catches when she feels a tender hand slowly rest against her hip.

"I may not be able to see into your mind at the moment, but I can see how your body reacts to me. How your chest rises and falls more than normal, your lips quiver, your legs shake," Ben continues, his words like a purr that tickles Rey's skin. A small whimper falls out of Rey's mouth and Ben shudders at the sound, moving his face closer to hers.

"It's enough to make me…unravel," he breathes against her lips. Before he can say anything more, a stunned mmph comes from Ben as Rey crushes her lips against his and wraps her arms around his neck. Ben wastes no time and snakes his arms around Rey's waist as he leans her against the wall. Their lips move together rapidly with heavy pants before their tongues come out to tango. Ben's hips dig into Rey's and she moans into their kisses as she wraps one leg around his own, pulling him closer to her. They break apart for air and feel a buzzing between them.

"Ben…" Rey breathes as he holds he close the way she's always wanted him to. He kisses her gently in response. The tenderness of his kiss melts Rey's heart and she falls deeply under his spell. When he pulls away, she slides her hand into his ungloved hand and leads him to her bed. She is surprised when she feels a tug. Rey looks back and looks at Ben curiously. She tugs on his arm again but he stays put.

"Did I…did I do something wrong?" she asks softly, looking at the ground as she feels all of her worries flood into her. Ben steps forward and tilts her chin up with his free hand, brushing his lips against hers. He looks deeply into her hazel eyes.

"No, Rey. Of course you didn't do anything wrong," he whispers gently. His eyes flick to the bed and he feels the stiffness in his pants worsen. Ben looks back at Rey and kisses her softly again.

"Believe me, I want to. I really do. But, I want to be with you in person…" Ben begins as he wraps his arms around her tenderly. He kisses her cheek and trails down these feather-like kisses down her jawline to her exposed neck. Rey moans and clutches his shoulders as she feels his lips press into her skin, igniting it like a wildfire. His lips kiss their way back up to her cheek before he pauses to look at her. Ben leans in close to her lips and Rey shudders as she feels his hot breath against them.

"I want you to really feel me when I take you," he growls against her lips before kissing her deeply. She kisses him back and holds him close until their connection ends. Rey stands in the middle of her room, her legs still quivering from the intense intimacy she just experienced with Ben. She touches her lips and can still feel the heat of his pressed against hers. A few star systems away, Ben stands in his quarters with his throbbing thickness aching to be touched. He shudders from what just transpired as he quickly makes his way to his bed.
