Rey hugged Ben tight, her face pressed against his chest, as she admitted.  "I've never really had a home.  Well, my AT-AT back on Jakku was technically my home, but it really was just a shelter that I turned into somewhat of a home."  She was quiet for a bit before she said.  "I think, that maybe, I would consider my home to be wherever you are, if we're together."

His heart once again went out to this beautiful woman who couldn't recall having a home.   How could she have turned out so good - so purely light - after all she had been through?  If she let him, he would spend the rest of his life making her happy, and give her the home and family she so deserved.

He wrapped her in an even tighter hug and propped his chin on the top of her head, whispering. "Me too Sweetheart.   Me too."

His heart had melted at her soft confession, and he leaned down to kiss her with everything he had in him, wanting her to understand his feelings, so she would know exactly what she meant to him, what she was to him.

She kissed him back with equal fervor, trying to wash away any of his doubts about her feelings for him, and to show him how much she wanted to be with him.  Looking up at him shyly, she also told him.  "When I was at the MedBay I also asked the Doctor about contraceptives."

Ben's face and ears tinged red at that, and he became uncharacteristically tongue-tied.  "Oh. Um. Yeah. That's probably a good idea.  I'm stupid for not thinking of it earlier..."  He took a deep breath.  "So.... Its all, taken care of?"  He asked sheepishly.

"Not quite yet."  She paused.  "I have to wait for the first day of my cycle, and I'm not sure when that is – long story generally related to starvation and water deprivation – so I'll have to go back."

His face and ears went positively scarlet at her last admission, and Rey couldn't help but roll her eyes and giggle softly.  "So...how was your day?"  She asked quietly.

"Long."  He sighed out, but smiled.  "All day I kept having to push all thoughts of you from my mind, but you kept creeping back in."

Rey blushed.  "Me too."  She smiled back at him.  "But I didn't push them out – I had to keep telling myself not to blush though."  Looking at him, perplexed she asked.  "Why did you not want to think of me?"

He leaned over and whispered into her ear.  "Because if I had allowed myself to think about you, I would have been hard all day."

Rey shivered and blushed deep red, as she looked down at the floor, smiling shyly.  "Ben..."

He tipped her chin up and drew her closer for a kiss.  "That embarrasses you?"  He asked her huskily, giving her a soft kiss, and staring at her in a way that was making her melt. "To know that I find it difficult not to think of you?  And what it does to me when I do?"

She began to squirm uncomfortably in his arms.  "It...I just...."  She looked away again, and back up at him, deciding to fight fire with a little fire of her own.  Reaching up on her tip toes, she shyly whispered quietly in his ear.  "I got wet a few times today when I thought of you."

His reaction was immediate, and completely unexpected.  She could hear his sharp intake of breath, followed by a loud groan before he grabbed her and crashed his lips to hers.  One hand was on her butt, pressing her to him closely, and the other held her head to him, as he ravaged her mouth wildly.

Rey whimpered softly and kissed him back frantically, his desperation becoming contagious.

"Gods Rey,"  He leaned his forehead against hers.  "do you have any idea what it does to me when you say something like that?"  He blew out a hard breath on a shudder.  Trying to slow things down a bit, he kissed her again, this time slowly and gently.  "How are you feeling today?"

Looking up at him with a puzzled expression, she told him.  "I'm fine..."

It was his turn to blush, gently stroking his thumb across her cheek.  "I mean.....are you sore?" He asked quietly.

"Oh."  She blushed again.  "Maybe a little."  Leaning up again, she whispered, kissing below his ear.  "But I don't care. I want you...."   

************* SMUT STARTS HERE **********************************

Another loud groan tore from his chest, and he smashed his lips back to hers as he started walking her backwards toward the bed.  His hands snaked under her shirt, breaking the kiss for a second to peel it over her head.

She felt the back of her legs bump into the bed and plopped down on the mattress, scooting back so she lay down on the pillow.  Ben's heavy lidded gaze looked down at her as he ripped off his shirt, and climbed onto the bed, crawling on top of her, stopping to kiss and nibble at her breasts on the way.  When he got to her lips, he kissed them gently.  "I'm going to make love to you slowly tonight."  He told her, his voice deep and sexy, as he ground his hard length against her.  She moaned in response.  "And even when you beg me to go faster, I won't."  Writhing underneath him, she lifted her hands to his head and kissed him deeply.  When he broke away, he continued.  "I'm going to watch as you come apart in my arms, moaning my name."

Rey moaned again, threading her hands through his hair, scoring her nails over his scalp, and then down over his shoulders and back.  Ben growled and kissed his way down her body, tugging her shorts and panties down her legs.  Leaning back, he removed his own pants and underwear and climbed back up the bed.

He had decided that he was going to drive her crazy with want.  Needed her to feel desperate for him.  To beg for more.  He vowed to have control tonight, and not lose his mind at the sounds she made when she responded to him.  Starting at her knee, he kissed her there, and then began kissing and nipping his way back upward, to her inner thigh, stopping at her center to lavish her with attention and drive her crazy with his mouth.  Her back arched and she threaded her hands through his hair when his mouth found her.  She raised her knee over his shoulder to give him better access, and he smiled at the bold move.

He wanted her to be wild for him, so when she started writhing on the bed, he decided it was time to move on, and began slowly kissing up to her abdomen, then upward - again paying special attention to her breasts and finally her lips.

She was panting for him, and could feel his hardness gently prod at the entrance to her core. Trying to lift her leg around his hips to pull him closer, Ben smiled and scooted down a bit to nibble on her ear before running his tongue along her neck.  Again, she felt him gently start to slip inside her, barely an inch, before pulling back out.  Letting out a frustrated breath she moaned.  "Please Ben.  Don't tease me."

He moved back up, and she could feel him position himself at her entrance, gently running the tip over her most sensitive spots, causing her to shiver and moan again in anticipation. "Tease you?"  He asked, as she felt him slowly slide into her, but only about half way this time, before withdrawing again, causing her to whimper in frustration.

Chuckling softly, he moved into her deeply this time.  Her back arched, and a breathy moan escaped her, as she felt him start to thrust ever so slowly.  Her breath huffed out, and she couldn't hold back the sounds every time their hips connected.  Her body felt like molten liquid, and desperately needed to feel him driving deep inside of her.  Instead, he was thrusting softly, and slowly, almost stopping each time.  She tried to get him to speed up, but instead he grasped her hips and held her still, continuing to withdraw and slide back in slowly, but deeply, moving his hips against her for an extra push.  He did this over and over until she began to try to writhe under him.

"Please..."  She begged.

"Tell me what you want Sweetheart."  He murmured seductively, gritting his teeth to try maintain control himself.   She was completely soft and wanton beneath him, and he loved it. Loved knowing she wanted him this much, that he could do this to her.  But he knew there was only so much he could take before he could no longer hold back.

"I...I want you...."  She gulped.  "I want it harder."  She said in a whining gasp.  "I want you to go faster."  Panting, she moaned.  "Please Ben."

He smiled against her mouth.  "Like this?"  He asked, thrusting sharply, but still withdrawing slowly.

"Yes.....oh yes..."  Her neck arched back and her head thrashed from side to side on the pillow. "More.  Please.  More."

Ben swallowed thickly, and gritted his teeth, trying to concentrate on not losing control.  He kept up the hard thrusts but slow pace, watching her beautiful face as she became lost in her want and pleasure. Gods, he wanted this forever.

Her movements became more frantic, her hands racing all over his body, head arched back, thrashing back and forth.  She wrapped her legs around his hips and dug her nails into his buttocks.  "Please.....Faster... Harder. ...Deeper."  She cried.

He smiled against her lips and let his control snap, pounding into her as she begged him to do. Her moans became louder and longer, and he thanked the stars the walls were soundproof.  His own groans were also getting loud, as he angled her hips upward to penetrate deeper.  He could feel her begin to shake as her climax streaked closer, his own perilously close as his jaw went slack and his breathing stuttered.  Suddenly he could feel Rey's walls spasming around him, as she let out a loud wail, and he tried to hold on for a few more strokes until he felt the pleasure of his climax race through him and he completely lost himself in her.

*************** SMUT FREE ZONE STARTS HERE *****************************

Both breathing heavily, they continued to kiss and stroke each other till long after their breathing slowed.  Rey looked into his eyes, trying to find some coherent words to say. "That....that was...."  Ben just looked at her and smiled proudly.

Rey looked up at him and shook her head.  "Really?  Again?"   He smirked and nodded once, slowly.  "We're going to have to do something about this ego of yours – its starting to get out of control."  She was smiling as she said it though.

"Yes but you like it."  He told her huskily.  Then he got a bit more serious.  "And that was to make up for the last time – which was too rough and quick."

She could see the sorrow in his eyes, and knew that no matter what she said, he was worried about how out of control he was that time.  "Ben, its okay.   I told you I liked it."  She kissed him gently.   "Please, there is nothing to make up for."  Giggling happily, she told him,  "But I enjoyed you trying to do so."  Then she punched him playfully.  "You made me beg!"

"I give you permission to return the favour sometime."   He said with a smirk on his lips.

"I most certainly will."  She smirked back, then softened.  "I love you."

His eyes lit with emotion as he gazed down at her, his mouth opening as he swallowed audibly, but no words came out.  His breathing hitched, and still he couldn't say a word.

"Its okay."  She told him soothingly.  "You don't need to say anything.  I feel everything through the bond – especially when we're intimate."  Her fingers trailed over his face and into his hair.  "I know what you feel for me."  She gently kissed him.  "And that's enough for me."

He shuddered, and could feel his own emotions rising, pricking at the corners of his eyes, before he nodded and took a deep breath, kissing her back gently.

"It's been a long day.   I'm tired, and want to go to sleep now."  She shivered.  "But I think I'd like to get dressed first.  I'm cold.  And I don't want to wake up naked in my bed tomorrow morning." She told him cheekily.

Giving him a quick kiss and a gentle shove, he rolled off her and she hopped out of bed, grabbing her clothes on the way to the fresher.

Ben lay in bed with his hands behind his head, with a huge smile on his face, marveling not at the newness of this, but the normalcy of it.   It just felt right.  Rey being here, talking at the end of the day, making love to her.  And now going to sleep with her in his arms.  Taking a deep breath he thought.  Yes, I want this always.

His thoughts were interrupted by his holopad going off.  Kriff!  Couldn't they leave him alone for one night!  Jumping out of bed, he threw on his pants and answered the call.  "Yes, what is it?"

Whoever was on the other side could tell by his tone that he was not happy about being disturbed. "Supreme Leader Sir.  We have information on the new location of the Resistance base."

Ben sighed.  He looked back to the door of the fresher, to see Rey's head peeking out.  Running a hand through his hair he asked.  "Is there any particular reason you're disturbing me at this hour to tell me this now??!!"

"Um, well Sir.  General Hux, Sir, said we should tell you immediately."

Hux, he thought.  Of course he did.  "I did not make any such request to be informed immediately.  Please tell General Hux that we will discuss it tomorrow morning at 8:00 standard time and that no actions should be considered until that time.  Am I clear?"

"Yes Supreme Leader, Sir.  I will convey the message, Sir.  Goodnight, Sir."

"Thank you."  Rey said quietly from behind him.

He turned to her.  "You're welcome, but I didn't do it for you – well, not expressly."  He raised a hand to her cheek. "There will be no more attacks on the Resistance, starting immediately. Tomorrow I will further our plans to contact your General about a meeting to negotiate a truce. The others already have an idea that that's what's going to happen, but Hux clearly wanted to start something tonight."  Sighing, he told her.  "That man is becoming a bigger problem.  Even some of the other officers want him gone.   Eventually I'm going to have to do something."

Rey's eyes widened.  "Like what?"

His eyes were filled with mirth.  "Probably not what you're thinking.   I'll likely have to expel him from the First Order.  But I really would prefer to just kill him and get it over with."

Rey's face clouded at how callously he spoke of killing Hux.  "Ben...."

Shaking his head in exasperation, he went on.  "I'm not going to kill him Rey.  Even at this point he'd have to do something huge and monumentally stupid for me to consider that."

Her face lit up and she threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly.  "Thank you."

Looking down at her with a puzzled expression he drawled.  "I didn't think you cared that much about Hux."

"Not Hux."  She whispered.  "You."  She gazed up at him.  "You're not that person anymore."

Giving her a small nod, he took her chin in his hand for a gentle kiss.  "Let's go to bed."

Ben didn't think there was any better feeling than when they were snuggled together under the covers, Rey wrapped in his arms.  She sighed.  "This bed is awesome, by the way.  Its so big!  And not lumpy."

She could feel his chuckle reverberate through her.  "Good.  Then I guess we'll be sleeping here more than at your base."

"Probably."  She leaned further back into him, sighing happily.  "Goodnight Ben."

He kissed the back of her head.  "Goodnight Sweetheart."
