「Act 66: Smitten intoxication

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…


The crowd was screaming with joy, their feet disturbing the ground around the central area. Smiles, laughs, and a lot of drinking and eating. Their bodies moved together as they celebrated, rhythmically breaking into shapes and colors that tickled everyone's heart. Most had indulged, eating more than they'd thought possible. Few drunk more than they should. Cattery voices and cheering tones had filled the Blossom Forest. Tabletops layered with trays of the most delicious food and drinks lined, delicacies capable of making one's mouth water: meat, vegetables, and all kinds of fruits.

Rey, lost in her mind, strolled through the corridors. Her long dress was waving, along with each step. Her hands were resting freely down her hips. It was her first time wearing a dress, but she agreed to wear it since it was a special day. People were still celebrating all over Eanor for winning the war, and today they were holding a feast for their departure.

Suddenly, a hand reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her behind a dark corner and almost hiding her behind gigantic curtains. She was not given any time to react, as two thin pleasureful lips pressed against her, forming a kiss. She answered by wrapping her arms around her attacker and stepping on her toes, making the kiss last longer. Her secret attacker embraced her fully, adding more mischief to their kiss. She had already recognized her attacker; it was her Ben.

"I didn't know I would see you so soon!" Rey teased him as she pulled back, breaking the kiss. His hands were sensually touching her along her arms and back, ensuring she was real. "It has been a few hours!" she whispered against his ear, as her breath softly touched his sensitive ear, making him shutter over the air that was blown against him.

Ben rested his arms along her waist, "I can always leave and come back later!" he teased her as he leaned closer and stole one more kiss. "But I missed your lips!" he said, pausing the kiss and letting his dark eyes rest against hers. Ben couldn't have enough of watching and kissing Rey, like their remaining time on Eanor had a deadline.

As for Rey, she spent most of her days dreaming, flying along with pink clouds that filled her belly with angry butterflies. Her silliness never left her since the day Ben told her that he loved her. She started thinking that there was something wrong with her. She was always smiling and happy, in ways she never was.

As for Ben, he was in a worse state. Rey admitted that she loved him, and for the first time in his life, Ben Solo heard someone telling him that he was loved. It brought Ben's walls down at once, and he was running a high fever for days. He was lovesick, and damn did he enjoy it.

Though the dream came soon to an end, as it was time for their departure. And the time to face their reality once more. The silliness and random kissing were quickly put to an end. They started avoiding each other, trying to protect themselves from their lack of information about what came next. True be told, Ben had one more profound reason that he was still fighting with.

He was not good enough for Rey. He knew, and he knew it well; nothing had changed; he had not yet paid for his wrongdoings, and staying with Rey meant he would drag her along through all the pain and torture. For Ben, it didn't matter; he was after all the monster. But Rey, sweet and kind Rey, he should protect her from any harm and not pull her with him.


Falcon, 38 ABY

"What a dreadful situation," Finn said, gazing at Poe, "C-3PO would say!"

Chewie roared, complaining that Finn was mocking his old friend. They had left C-3PO, R2-D2, and Jennah in one of the alley's hangers, and Lando would pick them up. They managed to communicate with the base before leaving Eanor, briefing them in and notifying that Dark Rey had already departed before they reached the known Galaxy. It was then when Lando informed them that he was flying near to the allay hanger and wanting to spend time with his daughter visiting old friends. C-3PO couldn't be happier. He and R2-D2 decided to follow them. They would meet later in the base.

But those weren't only the only ones who stayed behind. Hux and Rose decided to remain in Eanor. Hux was even offered a position as the General around the Forest Blossom, and he agreed to stay. That place was perfect; he could live all his life along there. Plus, returning to the base meant that eventually, he might end up in prison or worse. At least in Eanor, no one knew his deeds, and he was safe there.

Rose agreed to stay with him. They had started dating for months, and most didn't even notice. They wanted to create a family, and Eanor was now a safe place. The Unknown Regions were still a distant place that no one would easily travel there. They surely would miss Rose, but if she found happiness there, her friends wished her the best in her new beginning.

Their team had few members now, only Ben, Rey, Poe, Finn, Chewie, and BB-8. They were on their way back to the Resistance base, but they had already delayed their departure. After the battle was over, it took them almost a month to travel back to where the Falcon was. And after they finally manage to fly into hyperspace, it would take them a few more months before reaching home.

Rey and Ben, after the day they had departed from the Blossom Forest, avoided each other. If they ended up in the same space, they acted too friendly, and it seemed bizarre. And every night, they were fighting over the small bedroom upon the storage unit with the fantastic view that Han had created for Ben. They didn't want to share the bed, and each night they were debating who would sleep upstairs.

Poe had noted their random and silly behavior, but what could he do about the two virgins. He wanted to eventually sit down with Rey and Ben one day and explain how things worked. But he ended up preferring them like that; it was funnier for Poe. As for them, it would be better if they discovered how relationships worked on their own.

Though someone had to tell them first that they were dating since neither Rey nor Ben knew it, the only positive thing that had happened to Poe was: he and Finn became a couple. But it seemed that no one had noticed, so they kept it a secret. After all, they didn't want to irritate Disney and have it cancel them.


Ben's Bedroom, Falcon, 38 ABY

"It's my turn to use the bed today!" Ben told Rey as he walked inside the storage unit and found her climbing up towards his bedroom. Rey ignored him and climbed into the bed, and Ben followed her. He sighted and pinned his gaze against hers. "Now! Get up!"

Rey tilted her head and looked at Ben. She closed her eyes, sniffing the smell of fresh soap mixed with his scent. Her cheeks blushed, and she looked away. "What a gentleman! I'm already using the bed, as you can see!"

It didn't take long, and Ben was fired up. He crawled over, glaring at her "Idiot! I ended up sleeping last night on the cargo unit because of you. Move!" he shouted and leaned over to grab her.

"You are so annoying!" Rey yelled. Brown, angry eyes met with deadly dark ones, and they stared at each other furiously. She leaned closer. "I am going to sleep in this bed! End of the discussion!"

Ben kicked the edge of the bed, annoyed, his big frame caused it to rattle, his gaze remained pinned against hers, and he grabbed her collar and pulled her closer to his face. "Say that again!" he dared her.

Rey felt her heart skip one more beat. She lost her words and felt her legs trembling. But she was too proud to show any weakness. "I'll sleep in this bed!" she declared and pointed at the bed.

Shimmering stars illuminated the moonless view in front of him. Rey was too close now, so close that every other reason failed to exist. "Damn you!" Ben darkly murmured and tilted his head, leaning closer, pressing his warm lips against hers. He found her lips cold and chilled, with a berries sweetness. It had been a few months since he had not tasted her sweet lips or touched her fair skin. He forgot all reason as Rey raised his anger.

Rey's eyes opened widely, but she was not surprised. She should pull back and slap the pervert. Yet she leaned in and kissed him back, wrapping both hands around him. The arms around her felt finally familiar. The lips that were kissing her were equally wanting to be kissed by her. Her heartbeat faster; she even skipped a few beats as the first time they kissed. That feeling allured her, and the damn Pervert was now once again as dazzling as ever.

Ben broke the kiss, allowing both to breathe. Rey lifted her arm and slowly pushed back his dark hair revealing his face. Her eyes widened at his handsomeness. She leaned closer and stole a daring kiss from him and then one more. Ben kissed her back, smiling along with the kisses. His fingers slowly reached the belt of her robe and softly untied it.

He lifted her and turned her around until her back was facing the mattress. He limbed above her, slowly touching and kissing her. Everything that started so soft and gentle became wild and stable. They pull apart and take shaky, shallow breaths. Unable to contain themselves anymore, Ben held her head in his hands and dragged her into a fiery and passionate kiss.

Rey cracked a smile, knowing full well that he was about to seduce her. How could he, with a touch and a soft word, have her linger. His voice had the lilt she knew so well, his words strong with a smile that already played on his face. With the kiss came electric tingles, the desire to play. She wrapped her arms around him, expecting more than she had bargained for. Today, she could play it wicked or played it evil. She was in to seduce him, as much as he was to seduce her.

The game was set, and they both started playing with fire.

With the kiss came the smooth touch of her body, just the right blend of relaxation and tension. The tension that rose slowly and wildly inside of them. The temptation was already there. It had always been written in their gaze, chemistry, a seed of love, an invitation to learn about the other. Tonight was a chance for their bodies to communicate without the need for words.

"Fuck!" he said under his breath as he found himself not being able to hold back any longer. He admitted pausing his actions and gazing at the 'idiotic girl' for allowance. He should wait, figure out his thoughts and what he was about to do. Yet, the time felt more than right. He wanted it to happen even if he had to face the consequences in the morning.

Ben's strong hands instantly tried to strip her over. Removing and flipping the robe out of the way. Her own hands found the way to undo his robe. They were almost ripping it apart until she could see his skin and scars. They both paused and laughed at their actions. He buried his head into her neck and his hands roving all over her body. Their breathing deep and fast as their skins finally met.

She lay petrified entirely under his command, her lips quivering while his hands corner both her sides. Her breathing hastened, the intense rhythm of her heartbeat underwent an irregular count, hammering quicker than the lightning bolt as his hand slithers toward her body, searching smoothly for the naked body. He could not wait any longer. Enough with the seductive games and teasing. Ben gave her one of his most alluring gazes, drawing her deeply inside his dark sight. She lost track of place and time. The only thing that mattered was him.

Like a drug and an addiction, both of their bodies are connected. One-touch and his intoxications were instant. Slowly and smoothly, their bodies met. Just his scent sent her into a heady trance, one that didn't end until their bodies were still once more, just warm and snuggled in as close as two souls can be. This time they were both in control; they both drove into madness and craziness, then stop, then they did it all over again until they begged to finish this.

Even then, they did not want to. They would do every naughty thing to each other until their mind and body exploded. Their warm breaths and playful gaps had filled the room. Even echoed out of storage units, over the corridors and beyond.

She felt the electricity in her skin, hormones shutting down her higher brain, and the rise of herself. From him, it was all passion, intense, intoxicating. It was her release, her escape, her drug, and so much more. She knew well enough to avoid letting a man lay his hands on her. Yet tonight, her switches were flicked for a reverse gear to be possible. She was smitten—all she could say that all her instincts were right. Nothing felt wrong that night.

It was a very lingering and alluring night.

The cold room already felt warm. It was hard to hold back to make the moment last. They were caught between the intoxication of the climax and extending a moment they never want to end. But nothing lasts forever. The temperature around had increased so severely. Both were glowing brightly, utterly, and appealingly. They gazed at each other speechless. Their minds didn't even admit, but both stubborn Idiots did.

Ben wrapped his arm around her and pulled her to a hug covering both under the blankets. He softly kissed her forehead, staring at the woman inside his arms. His mind didn't dare to name what happened. His heart was playing dumb. No words. No thoughts. Nothing tonight. Only her inside his arms. They could deal with the rest tomorrow. And Rey rested against him like it was the right place to be. She wrapped her arms around his waist. She blocked out her mind, allowing the fireworks to go crazy inside her head.

They both were weary and drifted soon asleep. The rest they would figure it out later, or they would never find an answer to their questions. But for the time being, they were allowed to be spoiled and wrong. Until morning was upon them, and reality would kick in.
