Chapter 6

Disclaimer: I don't own Star Wars or any of its characters!


Rey sighed as she looked around the room. Her eyes went wide as she saw the bed in front of her. She had never seen a real bed like this except for in holovids and in a few of the more wealthy places on Jakku, wealthy being a relative term obviously.

She slowly took her hair down and combed her fingers through it. She was overwhelmed by all the luxuries that were now available to her, not sure how to react. Temptation called to her to not only the hot tub in the refresher, but also the man just a door away from her. She knew he was probably getting ready for bed and she sighed, sitting down on her bed.

Despite everything, she was scared she was still alone. She slid her boots off before leaning back on the bed, sighing at how comfortable it was to her aching muscles. She couldn't think of any other time where she had even been close to this level of comfort.

After a moment of hesitation, she crawled under the silk covers, biting her lower lip as she tried to close her eyes and let sleep take her, but her nerves and thoughts got the best of her. She continued to try for about an hour before sighing in frustration, getting up out of the bed. Her pants were scratchy in comparison to Kylo's shirt, but she didn't know if she should give in and let him know how comfy she was with his clothing.

Slowly, she slid her pants on, leaving her in just her arm wraps, his shirt, and her underwear. Biting her lower lip, she slowly walked over to the door, opening it to go out to his room. She looked around, not seeing him at first, but she knew he was in the area, having not gone far as she felt his presence through their bond.

"Ben?" She asked softly, standing awkwardly by the door, a slight chill going through her body. She wanted to go and use the tub she saw, but didn't know what would be allowed and not considering how she wasn't allowed in most places on the resistance base.

Suddenly, Kylo walked out from the room she was just thinking about, water droplets on his chest and a simple black towel hanging low on his hips, making her cheeks instantly darken and her eyes widened, though her pupils dilated slightly as an intense wave of lust and desire hit her, knowing it was from them both.

Kylo was shocked to see her, his eyes travelling over her form, noticing her only in his shirt and he felt himself harden underneath the towel. He allowed the corner of his lips to raise slightly as he looked her over.

"I...um...I couldn't sleep." Rey mumbled weakly as her eyes were glued to his body, traveling over all the muscle exposed to her eyes. She wanted to run her hands over every part, making her thoughts take a very different turn from not being able to sleep. Now she wanted nothing to do with sleep, but knew she should try to control herself.

Kylo's smile widened slightly at her words before walking back into the refresher, leaving the door open as he fully dried off, not caring if she chose to come join him, he almost wished she would.

"Well, I'd be more than happy to help." He said to her from the other room, wanting to see her reaction, but knew he may have more chance if he gave her a moment. He had seen the way her eyes wandered over his body and knew that she wanted him just as much as he wanted her. It would only be a matter of time now. He couldn't get the image of her in just his shirt out of his head.

He noticed the fleeting thought of wanting to use the bath coming from her end and he smirked, walking over to the door, just in his underwear now, but he was confident in his body and didn't care if she saw.

"You know...if you want I could run you a bath? It would probably help your back." He said softly, the smile still slightly on his lips.

Rey's eyes widened at the idea, it was incredibly appealing to her, but what she almost wanted more was for him to join her in said bath.

Kylo's eyes darkened even more and he grew harder as he sensed the train of her thoughts, wanting to comment.

"I could always sit in here with you and we could talk...if you want." He said in a low, husky voice. If that's what she wanted, he would do it, but he wouldn't promise he would be able to control himself if she was only a few feet from him, naked in a hot bath. Nothing sounded better to him.

Rey didn't know what possessed her, but despite knowing that she shouldn't, she nodded and bit her lower lip, slowly walking towards him. Kylo swallowed, holding everything back that he could in that moment before walking over to the large bath, it could easily fit both of them, but that would have to wait. He ran the water, getting it as hot as he thought she could handle before pulling on his black sleep pants, hoping to hide his erection for at least a little longer, though he didn't care if she knew of his desire for her.

Rey bit her lower lip as she saw the bath was ready for her. Kylo began to walk over to the door, giving her privacy to change and she pulled the shirt off with her back facing him, not knowing what compelled her. After everything she had been through and knowing how he felt about her, she decided that a little teasing couldn't hurt.

Kylo's breath caught in his throat as he saw her just in her underwear, knowing there was no hiding his desire from her now. His eyes widened even more as she slipped her underwear off in front of him, allowing him to see her behind before she quickly got in the bath, the water covering everything from her delicate collar bone down.

"Rey…" He mumbled in a husky voice, his desire for her evident in the tone. "I don't know...how strong my restraint is when it comes to you." He whispered honestly, kneeling next to the tub, their faces less than two feet apart.

"I don't know how strong mine is either." She whispered, her eyes darkening as she crossed her legs under the water, pressing her thighs together.

He knew he shouldn't push her right now, knowing she was injured, so he slowly stood, leaning down to place a gentle kiss on the top of her head before walking back towards the door.

"I'll leave the door open...you're more than welcome to join me after. " He said softly, setting a towel on the counter for her and a fresh set of clothes that the droids had brought for her, he hesitated slightly before leaving another one of his shirts as well, giving her the option of what she wanted to wear.

Rey felt disappointment as he left, but she was still trying to memorize the feeling of his lips on her head as she nodded, in a daze.

"Okay...I'll be out soon." She murmured softly, a smile gracing her lips that made Kylo's heart race as he nodded before going out to his room.

He wanted nothing more than to relieve himself, but knew that he shouldn't with Rey in the room right next to him with the door open, but he couldn't help himself.

Silently, he slid his hand under his waistband, taking care of himself as quietly as he could, not knowing that Rey could feel his pleasure through the bond.

He heard her gasp and the water move after he came and he held his breath, not knowing the strength of their bond.

"Could you feel that?" He asked, his voice still rough and low, waiting with baited breath for her answer, not knowing what to expect.

"Yes…" Rey mumbled breathlessly. "What did you just do?" SHe asked, standing in the doorway in the towel he had left for her.

His breath left him quickly as he removed his hand from his pants, going into the other room to change, avoiding her question.

Rey couldn't believe what she had felt, but she slowly pulled on the new breast band and underwear before pulling his shirt on that he had left for her. She then went out to his room and sat on the edge of his large bed, biting her lower lip as he came back into the room.

"Do you ever think of me?" She asked, her hazel eyes meeting his, scared of his answer, scared of rejection.

He was clearly taken back by her question before he walked over, sitting next to her as he took her hand in his.

"Always." He said softly and squeezed her hand.

Rey's eyes went wide as she was suddenly hit with all of the images he has had of them together intimately, making her cheek flush even more.

"Can we just sleep?" She asked softly, silently asking if she could stay with him for the night. He nodded and pulled back the covers, crawling in before making room for her. She curled up next to him, they weren't touching, but they were on their sides facing each other.

"Goodnight Ben." She whispered softly, closing her eyes, her hand laying in a invitation between them.

"Goodnight Rey." He barely whispered as he lifted his hand up and gently held her smaller one, closing his eyes as well.

A peaceful sleep fell over them both, something they had been longing for since this bond had been formed.
