'Arghhhh!'

Rey presses her lips together to keep from laughing as she heard Ben call out.

'REY! I know it was you!'

Shit.

It was time to make herself scarce. Rey hid under her desk as she heard his heavy footsteps heading for her office. He popped his head through the open door and growled when he saw no sign of her. Rey let out a sigh of relief as he headed down the corridor.

'What did you do this time?'

Rey peaked her head over the top of the desk and saw the owner of the voice, Rose, who was standing in front of her with her hands on her hips.

'He asked for it.'

'But what did you do?'

I put sellotape on his scissors.'

'Well that doesn't seem so bad…'

'I sellotaped them to his stapler, then I sellotaped that to his holepunch, then it just turned into a whole thing and basically I sellotaped everything on his desk...to everything else on his desk.'

'Rey!'

'Rose! Let's not forget that he stole my valuable Malibu Stacey doll and sent me its arm wrapped in a ransom note!'

Rose stifled a giggle.

'Rose Tico-Hux! Don't you dare take his side!'

'I would never!' Rose said putting her hands up in mock surrender.

'REY!' Ben's booming voice blasted down the hall.

'You'd better get back under the desk, he's still on the warpath, I'll cover for you.'

'Did I mention that I love you?' Rey said as she disappeared once more.

Rose smirked then wiped the look off her face as Ben once again appeared, filling the doorway with his hulking frame.

'Is she here?' He demanded.

'Ahhh, no. Have you tried the break room? You know how much she loves that vending machine.'

'Of course I have. If you see her would you tell her that I'm looking for her?'

'Absolutely.'

Ben gave her a suspicious look then left. Rose listened until she heard his footsteps grow faint.

'Okay, the coast is clear!' she whispered to Rey.

Rey flopped into her desk chair.

'Unfortunately I can't spend all day under my desk, so he's bound to catch up with me eventually,' she said furrowing her brow and glancing left and right.

'How long has this feud between you two been going on for now?'

'About a month.'

Rose shook her head.

'I don't know why he hasn't fired you yet.'

Rey shrugged.

'I think it's gone beyond that. He isn't blameless in this, he's done some crazy shit to me too. I think we would both be in hot water if HR got wind of this.'

'Maybe it's time to put all this to rest before that happens?'

'And admit defeat? Never!'

Rose sighed.

'I'm going to go do my job now. You should probably consider doing the same.'

'Absolutely.'

'You're already planning your next prank aren't you?'

'Absolutely.'

Rose left the room mumbling something about being thankful she was married to a grown up.

Rey thought about what Rose had said as she signed into her email account. Maybe she should be the bigger person and just swallow her pride and apologise. Maybe it was time..

'SON OF A BITCH!'

Rey swore out loud as she looked at her inbox which was filled with emails from companies offering her breast enlargements at a very reasonable price.

That bastard must have signed her up to all their mailing lists!

Rey closed down her inbox and opened up google. She typed in 'Penis Enlargement' and pressed search. Her eyes widened as she entered each website and popped Ben's email address into the 'want more information?' Sign up boxes.

'Two can play at that game, dickhead,' she murmured under her breath.

She started typing up the Health and Safety committee meeting minutes while she waited gleefully for the shit to hit the fan. Why did she enjoy pestering the living daylights out of Ben Solo so much? She wasn't entirely sure. She just knew that she had no idea how to stop and she kinda suspected she was addicted to pissing him off.

'REY!' Another angry shout from the object of her irritation.

'Uh oh! Looks like the "want a bigger dick?" emails have begun already.'

She moved to hide under her desk once more, but Ben suddenly slammed into her doorway having sprinted down the corridor. He entered her office and shut the door.

'Rey, we need to talk,' he said in a low, angry voice.

Busted. Rey thought to herself as she prepared to face the music.

Rey Johnson had worked for First Order Inc for a mere six weeks and Ben Solo had already had more interaction with her than any other employee on his payroll. She had come to him highly recommended by Rose Tico-Hux, his trusted company accountant and wife of Armitage Hux, one of the company's executive assistants. He had expected good things from her and in some ways he had not been disappointed. Rey was an excellent secretary and office assistant but her penchant for playful pranks had led to an extremely unprofessional office war that he couldn't stop participating in.

He knew it looked bad. He was the CEO for goodness sake but ever since Rey had walked into his office the morning of her interview, all sunshine smiles and sparkling eyes, he had been hooked on her, and he had to admit that it was all his fault. After all, he had instigated the first prank.

A week after he had hired Rey, he hadn't had the guts to do more than just nod good morning in her general direction. He had noticed Poe the office manager sneaking looks at her behind as she filed away some client information. He started to worry that Poe planned to make her his newest bed notch. He needed to do something to get her attention. Fast.

After talking with Rose and finding out what a prolific pranker Rey was, he had been excited at finding his way in with the attractive new hire. So he left a Krispy Kreme donut box on her desk…filled with thinly sliced vegetables and low fat dips. He thought she would see the funny side, but apparently the only thing Rey loved more than pranking was sugar laden food. She hadn't been happy when she realised her afternoon snack was a healthy alternative.

But when she found out that he was behind the joke, she had simply smiled and congratulated him. Every day that week she had walked past his office and gave him the sweetest little wave. Clearly the prank had worked and she was warming up to him. When Friday came he was ready to ask her out when he noticed a funny smell in his office. Instead of the romantic evening he had planned with Rey, he spent the night ripping apart his office trying to find the source of the pungent pong. Eventually he tracked it down to some rotting prawns hidden within an air vent.

Had Rey done this? He was angry but also impressed. Few people had the guts to stand up to him let alone make such a risky move as hide seafood in his office. How had she even gotten in for a start? She could get herself fired for that alone and if he had been anyone else she probably would have. Luckily for Rey, Ben was too infatuated with her to ever consider letting her go. So instead of reprimanding Rey, he decided it was fucking go time.

When Rey arrived at work on Monday morning, she found that the entire contents of her office had been moved out into the corridor and set up in the exact order they had been in within her room. She knew instantly who was behind it, and quietly seethed as he smirked past her numerous times while she worked to put her office back to rights. It had taken her hours. She had had to stay late to catch up on her actual work.

And so the office war began and continued to that very morning. Every few days he told himself he would put a stop to it and then she would throw his lunch out and replace it with a bag of donuts and his blood pressure would rise and instead of taking the high road he would retort with an equally childish act of retaliation, like removing everything from her desk drawers and filling them to the top with paper clips.

He had been busy unsticking his desk when the first of the appendage enlargement emails had arrived. He had assumed it was just spam but then it was followed by fifty more emails. That was it. He slapped his hands down onto his desk and ran to Rey's office before she had a chance to escape. He looked down into her worried eyes. Now was the time to end this stupid war, it had gone too far. He opened his mouth to speak but she beat him to the punch.

'So you think I need bigger boobs?' She shouted putting her hands on her chest and coming towards him. Ben swallowed hard. That had been a stupid move on his part. His eye caught the other employees in the open area glancing at them with interest. He leaned over and closed Rey's blinds.

'It was a joke Rey, and keep your voice down.'

'I have two words for you, Mister! Sexual Harassment.'

'Oh, is that how it is? and what do you call signing your boss up to every penis enlargement website in the country?'

'An act of kindness.'

Ben saw red at her cheeky retort.

'I assure you I don't require any assistance in that department.'

'I wouldn't know—'

'Well maybe I should enlighten you.'

Shit.

He hadn't meant to say that and now it had gone silent and she was looking at him with an unreadable expression and he could almost hear the lecture he was going to get from HR when she complained about her pervert of a boss, then she kissed him and his mind went completely blank.

What the hell was she doing? She had just given her boss a warning about sexually harassing her and now here she was sucking his mouth like she needed oxygen and pressing her body so close to his she could feel that he definitely did not need a penis enlargement.

Fuck he was hot though, she had always thought so and when he had made that comment about enlightening her, she just couldn't help herself.

Was he even into this or was she just kidding herself that he saw her as more than a troublesome colleague?

She yelped as he answered her unspoken question, by pressing her up against the office door and locked his hands around her hips, lifting her up slightly so she could hitch her legs up and tighten them around him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and laced her fingers through his hair. He had such lovely, soft hair. He plunged his tongue into her mouth and she moaned softly.

Oh god.

This was even better than she had imagined. She put her hands on the sides of his face, nipping and sucking at his full lips. When he pulled away she whined slightly.

'Rey, as much as I want to continue, this isn't the time or the place,' he said

'Why not? The blinds are shut,' she said leaning forward to press his lips to his once more.

She didn't give a shit if they were at work. She had always known their war was heading somewhere, and she was more than happy that this was to be the conclusion of their conflict, she had worried a fight to the death was on the cards.

'It wouldn't be right, I'm taking advantage of you,' he murmured against her lips. She sighed and pulled away.

'No you're not. We both need this, Ben. We've been metaphorically fucking with each other for weeks, I think it's about time we got to the actual fucking.'

He groaned.

'I'm your boss,' he said pointedly.

Why was he making this so difficult?

'Yes you are. You're my boss. So what do you want me to do, Sir?' She asked.

Ben's eyes darkened.

He lowered her to the floor and she felt disappointment run through her. Then he reached past her and turned the lock on her door. She looked up at him eagerly.

'Miss Johnson, I believe you owe me an apology.'

'I believe you owe me one too, Mr Solo.'

He ran his eyes over her.

'Lets see if we can come to an arrangement that we both find mutually satisfied with then.'

Rey smiled.

'Lets.'
