The next words out of Ben's mouth were not what she had been expecting to hear.

'Shall we draw up a contract?'

Rey looked confused.

'What?'

'Shall we draw up a contract outlining what we both want in order to put this feud to rest?'

Rey looked at him as if he had suddenly just put on a Darth Vader helmet.

'Are you serious? You locked the door to ask me that?'

'This is just between me and you, it isn't anyone else's business what we discuss-'

Rey cut the big dumb idiot off with a quick, sharp kiss.

'What we both need, Mr Solo, is to get laid. Preferably the sooner, the better. I don't need a contract, I need contact. With you. Right now.'

She watched his Adam's apple bob violently. She had long suspected that it had been some time since Ben had...how could she put it...known the company of a woman. Maybe she was coming on a bit too strong.

She took his hands in hers.

'Ben? Look at me.'

His eyes stopped focusing on the floor and moved up to meet hers.

'I want this and I want you, but we can do whatever you feel comfortable doing. No pressure.'

Ben placed a hand on her cheek and looked down at her. The tension in the room kicked up a few notches as Rey waited nervously for his answer.

Then he was kissing her again, but this time it was slower, more controlled. Their breathing unified as they explored each other's bodies with eager hands.

God he smelt so good, the expensive, masculine scent tickled the back of her throat and kicked her labido into overdrive.

Rey was the first to pull away and press her hands up against his chest. Hard, unyielding muscles met her fingers. She sighed gently and reached for his tie. Ben watched as she undid the Windsor knot and let the strip of fabric fall to the floor at her feet. She started to undo his shirt buttons, then pushed the shirt down his arms and let it join the tie in a crumpled heap.

'I thought I was in charge around here?' he reminded her.

Rey barely heard him as her eyes scanned his .

'Wow,' she said out loud as she took in the delectable sight before her.

'Come here,' Ben ordered, looping her wrist with his fingers and tugging her into his arms.

So many slow, passionate kisses followed, that Rey's knees went weak and her body ached with need. She led him to her office chair and pushed him down into it.

She climbed on top of him and straddled his thighs. She was silently thankful her chair was armrest free. She prayed it would hold them both. It had cost enough. She had begun to suspect Ben had a thing for her when he had signed off on that frivolous expenditure. She squirmed in his lap and he hissed in a sharp breath, digging his fingers into her ass.

That felt good. She squirmed some more.

'Rey,' he said an edge of a warning to his words.

'What?' she asked feigning innocence, leaning forward to kiss his neck gently. His pulse jumped against her lips.

'God Rey, I want you so bad.'

Feeling brave, Rey moved her lips to his ear.

'I'm yours,' she whispered.

Ben needed no further encouragement. He unbuttoned her blouse and after gazing at her bra for a few hungry seconds, he made quick work of removing that too.

'These are perfect,' he murmured as he cupped her breasts.

She let out a shaky breath, his hands were huge and so warm. She rested her fingers on his shoulders as he massaged her nipples. Heat spread through her body and pooled between her legs.

She felt Ben beneath her, all hard and long and ready for her.

'I can see those helpful emails I sent you are going to go to waste.'

Ben jerked his hips up suddenly and Rey bit her lip as his cock connected with her soaking wet panties.

'Are you going to enlighten me now?' she asked.

Without taking his eyes off hers, Ben pushed her skirt up around her waist and slid his hand between her legs. He began to run his fingers slowly over her panties between her thighs, back and forth. Rey let out a wanting moan as her head fell back.

She ground herself against his hand, panting hard and feeling her body start to climb.

She was already so close. The excitement of the bustling office being right outside her office door coupled with Ben's talented fingers drew her closer and closer to what she suspected would be a delicious climax.

'Don't stop,' she breathed.

'Never,' he growled back.

He slipped his hand inside her panties and as his fingers connected with her clit, he clamped a hand over her mouth to dampen the sound of her moan.

'We don't want an audience,' he said in a low voice.

Rey nodded her agreement and he took his hand away.

He rubbed two fingers between her folds, revelling in the soft, slippery feel of her skin.

'Ben...oh god…' she whispered.

Just when she thought she couldn't take anymore, he pushed his fingers inside of her roughly and plunged his tongue into her mouth. All she could feel, see, taste was him. He hastened his movements letting his palm graze her clit as he pulled in and out over and over until she felt dizzy with desire. Her orgasm shook through her in a delicious series of ripples and tremors.

As she coasted back down, Ben held her close and rubbed her back. Wow. She almost felt bad for playing all those pranks on him. Almost. She sat up and looked at him hungrily.

They weren't done yet.

She reached down and undid Ben's belt, then the button on his trousers. She slowly pulled his zip down and squeezed her hand into the tight space between them. He was huge. She ran her fingers over his smooth warmth through the thin material of his boxers. Ben lifted them both up slightly to push his trousers and boxers to the floor. He looked at her challengingly.

Rey took the bait. Of course she did. She was no quitter.

Sliding her panties to the side she lowered herself down onto him. She was so wet. So ready for him. She started to move slowly and Ben groaned.

'Rey, please…' he begged.

'Please what?'

'Please...faster...I need…'

But Rey wasn't going to let him off that easy. She moved even slower.

Ben let out a strangled moan. He locked his hands on her hips.

'You've been nothing but trouble since day one,' he growled.

'You love it,' she shot back.

Ben hissed in a breath as she lowered her slick folds even slower down onto him.

'I should have done this a long time ago,' he rumbled.

He stood up quickly, and Rey crossed her ankles behind his back to keep from falling. He kicked himself free of his trousers and boxers and strode purposefully over to her small sofa, holding her tightly to him.

He lowered her down gently, but from the wicked smile that spread across his face, Rey knew she was in for a wild ride.

'I'm going to show you who's boss around here once and for all, Miss Johnson.'

He positioned himself above her, braced on his forearms, then entered her hard. He started to move within her, fast and rough. Rey squeezed him between her thighs and arched her back.

'I've thought about fucking you on this ridiculously over priced sofa you made me buy you, so many times,'

Rey moaned in response.

'You feel so good,' he panted.

Rey ran her hands up his arms, over his shoulders, down his neck, over his chest and back again. She couldn't find the words to respond to him as she felt her body start to soar once more.

Ben's movements sped up, he held her close and buried his face in her hair. Rey bit her lip and laced her fingers behind his neck.

'Rey, Rey…' he breathed into her ear.

'Do it Ben,' she urged.

'But what about? I don't want to make you…'

Rey brought his face to hers and kissed him gently.

'It's safe, baby. I'm protected.'

That was all it took. Ben began to thrust greedily then called out gruffly as he broke apart within her, just as Rey reached her own second shattering climax.

Relaxed and sated, Ben flopped on top of her and Rey smiled happily as she closed her eyes and stroked his neck.

He held her gently and whispered soft words in her ear. Rey purred contentedly and buried her face in his hair as they cuddled close.

'Ready for round two?' She asked hopefully when they finally emerged.

He kissed her softly and smiled at her as he tucked a curl of her hair behind her ear.

'As much as I would love to comply with your request, there's a meeting I must attend.'

He stood up and collected his clothing.

Rey watched him dress as she lay on the sofa smiling up at him like an idiot. She wasn't ready to let go of her blissful state just yet.

Ben crouched down next to her and kissed her nose.

'I'm taking you to dinner tonight as soon as that clock hits five.'

Rey nodded eagerly.

Then something in the corner of the room caught his eye, he bent down and picked it up.

'What's this?' he asked.

'Mmmm?' Rey responded still floating in her orgasm induced daze.

Ben was holding a parcel. What the heck was it...oh god...now she remembered. Rey scrambled up from the sofa, pulled down her skirt and grabbed her blouse.

Shit.

She had forgotten about the parcel she had ordered. She had meant to leave it on his desk that morning but had gotten carried away with the sticky tape instead. She couldn't let him open it now. Not when they were getting along so well.

'It's nothing. Just leave it,' she urged.

'It has my name on,' he said looking at the fake postage label she had taped to the front.

'Oh, that's just a mistake. Don't worry about it. I'm going to sort it.'

'Rey, you know all my parcels should come directly to me.'

Buggar. Buggar. Buggar.

'I know, but this is just marketing materials. Nothing important. I was just going to pass it straight along to the relevant department.'

Ben looked sceptical.

'I'll just take a quick look first.'

Rey started to panic.

'Stop being such a control freak!' she shouted desperately.

Ben frowned at her.

'Why are you being so weird about this?'

'I'm not, just...give me a minute!'

Rey fumbled with her buttons, why on earth did she choose to wear such a complicated piece of clothing on such a pivotal day? Just as she got the last button fastened, Ben began to open the parcel.

The scene unfolded before her in slow motion. Ben ripped open the package and an explosion of multi coloured glitter flew out, hitting Ben square in the face and filled the air around them.

S H I T.

Rey hid her face in her hands. The room was deathly silent. Eventually, Rey peeked at Ben through her fingers.

He was frozen still, looking bewildered at the now empty packet still hanging from his left hand. His hair, nose, cheeks and shoulders were covered in glitter. He looked at Rey with wide eyes.

He looked so serious. But so very shiny. Like a really tall, somewhat confused, giant Pixie.

Rey tried really hard to keep it in. She really did. But the laugh fizzed and bubbled in her chest until she couldn't contain it any longer. She laughed out loud. She laughed until her sides hurt and her eyes streamed. She laughed until she had to bend over and wrap her arms around her stomach to keep from peeing herself.

'Is this amusing to you?' Ben bellowed, holding his arms out to his sides. He was positively glittering with fury.

Rey laughed even harder. She tried to apologise but it just came out as a series of squeaks.

It was at this point that the edge of Ben's mouth finally began to quirk up into a smile. Slowly it spread across his face until he was laughing along with her. He shook his head and more glitter flew everywhere causing them both to laugh even more.

He fixed her with a playful glare and started towards her.

'You bloody minx!'

Rey yelped as he picked her up off the floor and spun her around. She giggled delightedly as they twirled, glitter swirling all around them.

When he stilled, Rey placed a hand gently on his cheek.

'You look good with a bit of added sparkle,' she observed.

Ben looked up at her lovingly.

'I think that's what was missing in my life. A little added sparkle. But that's all changed, now that I have you.'

Rey felt her heart melt. She kissed him again.

'Are you sure you can handle me?' she murmured against his lips.

Ben gently lowered her to the floor.

'The only thing I know for certain, is life with you is never going to be boring.'

'Truce?' Rey said with a small smile.

'Truce,' Ben agreed as they kissed once more, both crossing their fingers just as tightly as they held onto each other.

THE END
