Chapter 30 - Caught Up in You

A/N - Hi Lovelies!  Happy Holidays!  Season's Greetings!  Joy and peaceful tidings for whatever you celebrate!   Another chappie for you - this one is basically all fluff and smut - but I promise the story will start to move along in the next chapter.  It was originally twice as long but I split it up - and will try to get the next one up later today or tomorrow.  I'd like to try to wrap this story up in another 5 or so... but we'll see how that goes.  I hope you enjoy!  Please let me know your thoughts and hit that little star if you like it!

Something was tickling his nose.

Snuffling out slightly, he breathed in and was assailed with a light floral scent.  Blinking his eyes open, he caught sight of a messy tangle of brown hair tucked under his nose.

Rey....

Memories came flooding back.  Their morning and afternoon at the Pier, followed by coming home and finally, finally making love.  And what an experience it was.  Everything about it – about her – was absolutely perfect.  It was the hottest, sensual and yet most loving and adoring experience of his entire life – bar none.  He'd certainly remember it for as long as he lived.

He thought about the comparatively tepid sex he'd had before.  Well, with his first girlfriend, it wasn't that it had been tepid – they'd both wanted it – and had eagerly embraced it.  However, they hadn't known each other for very long, and since both were virgins weren't very comfortable with each other, so their few times had been fumbling and unsure, never really getting the hang of it.

And Kay had been....well....he'd just rather forget about it.

With Rey, it had been completely different.  He remembered when he was 15 – before he went to Snoke – how his father had given him the talk.  How he'd told him about sex – specifically about how sex was natural, and that it felt good, and that he shouldn't be embarrassed about his body wanting that feeling.  He rolled his eyes and shuddered on an internal laugh, remembering his father's words.  "Now, I'm sure you've woken up with the occasional stiffy, Son, and that's perfectly normal.  And so when the time comes and that happens when you're with someone else – and...you know... I just want you to have some clue about what to do."

He remembered sitting there with his arms crossed resentfully, head down, completely mortified, just wanting the conversation to be over.  Snoke had already been grooming him, and at the time he hadn't believed a word either of his parents had spoken.  He didn't have the patience to actually listen to his father trying to teach him about sex.

A wave of shame, followed by love for his father washed over him.  Ah, Dad.  He thought.  Despite his discomfort and his attitude, he was grateful that at least some of the conversation had stuck.  He remembered Han telling him that he should always make sure that it (as he'd referred to it) was good for his partner – that he shouldn't be selfish.  And that while it would likely almost always be good for him (he laughed at the thought – um, sorry, no, Dad), that when he found the right person, it would be different – like nothing he'd experienced before.  He smiled, knowing that his father had been right.  Thanks, Dad.  He thought affectionately, smiling to himself.

Planting a kiss on the mass of hair at his lips, he tightened his hold on her, breathing in her scent once again.  Glancing up at the windows, he could see that it was dark outside.  It had been late afternoon when they'd returned to the apartment and became lost in each other.  They must have fallen asleep after their....exertions.  The ever-present outside noise was still such that it was probably relatively early, likely only 8 or 9 o'clock in the evening, so they'd probably only slept for a few hours.
