Rey's lips feel so soft and perfect against his own as Kylo folds against her. He wraps his arms around her and hugs her as close as he can while her arms slide around his neck. Never has he felt a kiss so strong, passionate, and true in all his life. Without breaking their slow kisses, Kylo backs Rey against the wall and presses her gently into it. He is rewarded by a tender moan from her, which he eagerly swallows. His tongue becomes adventurous as he pokes it tentatively inside her mouth. Kylo groans as he feels her tongue connect with his and they melt into each other.

It all feels so good to both Rey and Kylo as they continue kissing. Their lips part for the briefest of moments so Rey can catch her breath as Kylo kisses his way from her cheek down to her neck. As she catches her breath, Rey's eyes fly open. Her mind floods with stories of him with other women around the world. It makes her think of all the time she's spent alone in her life and her doubts of ever finding someone who could care for her come crashing down on her. Rey's heart breaks as these stories and years of this self doubt trickle into her mind and she shudders. She pushes on Kylo gently and he stops immediately. He looks down at her with concern flooding his face. His eyes search her own as he seeks to find what is wrong.

"We…I…I can't do this," Rey stammers, her lower lip trembling from a mixture of need and sadness.

"It's alright, really. We'll take our time. We don't have to do anything rash tonight," Kylo pants, leaning down to press his lips against her forehead.

His lips slowly trail from her forehead down to her cheek. When he goes to capture her lips tenderly with his, Rey kisses him back for the briefest of moments. She pulls back again. Even with her growing feelings for him, she doesn't know if she can fully trust him with all of her no matter how much she wants him.

"I…I don't want to be another…another conquest for you," Rey states, still trembling.

"Conquest? What do you mean? I never…I mean, I've never…Rey, you're the only one," Kylo stammers, running a hand through his hair.

"Even through the streets of I've heard the tales of the masterful Captain Ren and his lovers," she replies, heartbreak dripping in her voice.

"Those are all they are: tales. I've never been with anyone before. I don't know who's been spreading these stories but, Rey, you have to know they aren't real," he pleads.

Kylo reaches tentatively forward to tuck a loose strand of her chestnut hair behind her ear. His other hand gently slides into Rey's as he silently begs for her belief.

"I'm sorry Kylo. It, I…I need some air," she pants, pushing past him towards the door.

He rushes after her and as she exits down the hallway. His feet carry him faster as he chases after her. But as he reaches the ground floor of the tavern, she's lost to the crowd. Kylo's heart sinks and he calls out her name among the crowd. There's a beat where he thinks he hears his name muffled. He stands among the crowd searching for her. Looking out across the patrons, he sees Hux drinking with a few of members of the landing party. Kylo strides over with haste and slams his hands on the table, startling his men.

"Find Miss Rey immediately!" he shouts.

The men salute and instantly get up from the table. They all file out of the tavern and flood the streets of Port Crait. In their haste, they don't hear the muffled cry of Rey as she's being carried away by Snoke's guard. His hand covers her mouth as he drags her down the streets and into the dark of the night.
