REY'S POV:

Rey and Ben walked down the their hall together. Rey leant against Ben as they did. His presence comforted her ever since the attack that happened earlier. It was almost midnight and everyone was either asleep or on guard.

"My room or your room tonight?" Ben asked politely.

Rey shrugged, "Why not yours?"

"Whatever you say," Ben said as they walked into his room.  

Rey went and sat down on the couch as Ben grabbed a glass of water for them both. As he came back Rey leaned forward and kissed him. Soft and lovingly.

Ben cupped her leaned into the kiss but pulled away softly, "Rey, I can't lose you like I almost did earlier."

Rey cupped his cheek and let her fingers run over his scar as she looked back into his dark, brown eyes, "Then let's make tonight count."

"You know there's no coming back after this.." he said, concerned.

She smiled softly, "I know.. and I want it to be with you."

Ben kissed her once more as he brought his hands to her thighs and dragged them forward until she was sitting in his lap. Picking her up, he made there way to his bed and gently laid her down, his lips never leaving her..

Rey woke up with the cold AC breeze hitting her bare back. She shivered against the bed sheets but did nothing of it as she laid back down, remembering the moments that took place last night. 

Soon she heard a door open and she turned her head and saw Ben coming out of the refresher. He was wearing a black long sleeve with black sweats, his hair damp from the shower. She gave him a lazy smile before laying her head back down on the bed.

He chuckled and made his way towards her and engulfed her with his large frame. He pressed kisses to her shoulder, "Morning, pretties."

She smiled once more as she turned around, her arms pressing against his chest, "Mm morning,"

"I cleared all my meeting today, so I'm all yours, " Ben said as he kissed her forehead. Rey lifted her face. She gently rubbed her nose against his and smiled, 

"Good, because I was hoping to spend all day with you."

He smiled, "Go shower while I get us some food."

Rey happily got up and made her way to the refresher and turned on the shower. She sighed as the steaming, hot water ran down her body. Her body was sore and tired but she didn't mind. 

Once she was done, she braided her hair into two french braids. Putting on a long-sleeve and a pair of sweats that belonged to Ben. Rey grabbed an extra pair of long-sleeve that belonged to him and stuff it in her bag for herself.

Rey then walked over to Ben, who's sitting at the couch, and sat next to him.

"What's for breakfast?"
