Chapter 6

Rey and Ben awoke to banging outside their door before it slid open to reveal General Hux and two Stormtroopers behind him. Hux stepped into their room and stared at them with the same wicked grin that had not left his face. He revelled in his victory.
"Glad to see you both are up. Comfortable scavenger?"
"Let us out of these bonds and we'll show you how comfortable we are!"
"As amusing as that would be, I think it's best if I keep you bound as you are."
"What do you want Hux?" Rey immediately regretted asking that as she watched Hux stoop down to be at eye level with her. She saw the gaze in his eyes and was utterly disgusted. He lifted a hand to her cheek and looked at her with that sickening smile she hated.
"Funny you should ask, little scavenger. I thought that I would take you away from this traitor and show you what a real man is like. I can't imagine a woman like you would be satisfied with someone like - OUCH!"
Hux was cut short as Rey had kicked him in his groin. Ben smiled and couldn't help but chuckle. He squeezed Rey's hand in support and he felt her smile back.
"Ben Solo is more of a man than you'll ever be."
"Oh, we'll see. Guards, you may remove their bonds for now. Let them say their farewells. They won't be seeing each other much longer."
And with that, Hux turned on his heel and walked out. Rey smiled to herself that Hux had a bit of a wobble as he walked. She was glad that he was hurt because of her. Hux had caused so much pain not just for Ben but for the entire galaxy. He deserved a taste of his own medicine. The guards walked over and untied Ben and Rey. Before Rey could do anything against the guards, one Stormtrooper held his blaster towards Ben threateningly. She had no choice but to leave the troopers alone. As soon as they were free and the guards walked out, Ben and Rey rushed into each other's arms and held each other close. Their lips met and they both sank into the kiss. They pulled back only to catch their breath and used that time to look into each other's eyes. Even with their current situation, they couldn't help but smile at each other. They had found one another at last and they were going to give in to all of their emotions they had denied for so long. Ben ran his hand along her cheek before pulling her into another kiss. Their love lasted all night and they fell asleep in each other's arms, as they wanted to do for so long.
