The lights of the bakery sign came into view, and Rey stopped for a moment, turning to peer into the glass of a storefront to make sure she looked presentable. While she would never consider herself beautiful, Rey thought she looked alright as she smoothed a stray hair behind her ear before turning once more, her pace quickening a bit as she approached the shop.

Ben was already waiting for her, his lanky frame leaning against the brick façade of the bakery as he watched her approach, his eyes shining with longing and anticipation. He stood to his full height as Rey reached the bakery, his voice low and oh so sexy as he greeted her. "Hi, Rey. You look… beautiful. Jesus, I forgot how damn good you look."

Rey felt her face color at his compliment, her eyes meeting his as she shyly looked at the concrete of the street, biting her bottom lip for a moment before returning her gaze to his.

"Hi, Ben. You look good as well."

Ben gave her a smile, his hand sweeping out towards the door of the bakery. "Shall we?"

Rey just nodded, the familiar coil of arousal once again settling in her gut simply from being this close to Ben. What was it about him? Rey could ask herself this question over and over every day, but she wasn't sure if she would ever come up with an answer.

Perhaps it was just that he was Ben, and somehow the one night they had shared together had woken something within her she had never known was there.

As they entered the bakery, Rey let her eyes sweep over the other customers inside, holding her breath until she concluded that there was no one there she knew. She still had a lot on the line, after all, and she had to remind herself that, while it felt right to be with Ben, she still stood to lose her TA position if they were seen together. Hux was strict about the boundaries between faculty and students.

Ben was already at the counter, and as she heard the low rumble of his voice ordering a dozen croissants and two coffees, she just watched him, remembering the feel of his large hands against her heated skin, the way they had moved together so perfectly, their moans of pleasure twining together to create a sweet melody in the stillness of the night.

Sliding into one of the chairs at a tiny bistro table in the corner, Rey just watched Ben interact with the bakery clerk, the gray haired woman laughing at something he said before he paid her and turned with a bag of croissants and two coffees in his hands, his eyes seeking hers out across the room.

Her breath hitched in her throat at the hunger she saw swimming in the chocolate depths of his eyes. This was a man who wanted her, and she wanted him just as badly, the tight coil in the very core of her starting to come undone just from thinking about him touching her.

Standing, Rey met him halfway, one hand reaching out to grab the fabric of his shirt.

"We're leaving," Rey said softly, her voice low and sultry as she looked up at Ben. Nodding, he let her take the lead, following as she led them out of the shop and into the night. Her apartment was several blocks away, but as they walked, her need inside growing for him by the second, Rey found an abandoned, darkened storefront, and as she pulled Ben into the dark, her fingers were already working their way under his shirt.

Ben at least had the foresight to find a place to set down their coffee and croissants before his lips met Rey's, one of her legs coming around him as she pulled him into her, her warm, small hands ghosting across the skin of his chest as his tongue met hers, the heat of her mouth drawing a moan from him.

"Rey," Ben said softly, pulling his lips from hers for a moment. She looked at him, her hands stilling on his chest and her eyes half lidded and filled with desire. "You want this here? In public?"

"Yes," Rey breathed softly. "I don't think I can make it back to my place without feeling you inside me again. I've been thinking about that ever since we talked in my office earlier. Now shut up and get to work." A smile came to Rey's lips, bringing a low moan from Ben's lips as his cock twitched, eager to slide inside her warm depths.

One brow lifted, and a smirk slid onto Ben's lips as he put his back against a support pillar, pulling Rey close to him – hopefully keeping them out of view of any passersby. Rey's hands went to the zipper of his pants, her fingers warm against his length as she started to work him.

Reaching down, Ben pulled her skirt up slightly, a low moan of approval leaving his lips as he realized she wasn't wearing any panties. "God, that's sexy," he growled against her ear, his lips nipping at her earlobe as he pulled her against him more, his hands lifting her up slightly, her legs curling around his waist as he did so.

Rey guided his ready cock to her slick opening, more than ready to feel him inside her again. As she slid down his length, Rey shuddered, her arms now going around his neck as she started to grind against him, biting her bottom lip as she threw her head back so that she wouldn't make too much noise. The last thing she wanted was for them to be interrupted now.

"Fuck, Rey," Ben moaned, her heat pulling and teasing every inch of his length as she ground against him, her lips crashing down on his to mask the loud moan that wanted to escape her lips. Her orgasm hit her hard, her body quaking against his as her slick walls pulled his own orgasm from him as well, his seed filling her as his breath came in quick gasps now.

After a moment of recovery, Ben kissed her slowly, his tongue exploring her mouth for a moment before he pulled away, his eyes meeting hers. "Jesus, Rey, that was intense," Ben's voice was a low rumble in her ear, his hands keeping her pressed closely against him.

"Yeah," Rey agreed, biting her bottom lip before a smile came to her lips. "I think I can make it back to my place now though." Rey placed a brief kiss to his lips again before running a hand through his hair softly.

"Glad I could help," Ben said lightly, a smile coming to his lips as well. With a tiny sigh of regret, he helped Rey settle herself back on the concrete, watching as she pulled her skirt down and straightened it. He couldn't keep his eyes off her, even when she reached over and tucked him back into his pants, her fingers quickly zipping him back up and pulling his shirt down over the waistband of his jeans again.

"There," Rey said softly, "We're mostly presentable again. Let's go."
