Ben awoke to the feeling of Rey rolling over in the bed, and he turned his body to spoon hers. He wrapped his arm around her, pulling her into him. She fit perfectly next to his long body, and he breathed in the scent of her. The sun was peeking through the dark curtains and he could hear the three gentlemen making small talk in the kitchen. He smelled the small biscuits that they've been eating all week being reheated, and his stomach growled. Rey was still deep in sleep, so he slipped his arm out from under her, and got out of the bed, careful not to wake her. He found his silk pants and pulled them on, walking shirtless out of the room. He walked into the kitchen and was met with three pairs of staring eyes. Poe almost spit out his drink. Ben turned to the kryo-fridge and looked at his reflection. He looked like shit. His black eye was a blue and purple oil spill on his face, and his hair stuck up every which way. He shrugged, not caring what the other men thought, and pulled the jam out of the fridge. He saw Finn had a freshly cut biscuit in his hand, and whisked it away, despite the protests. He smothered it in jam, and popped it into his mouth, relishing the flavor. The dark blue juice on the counter was calling to him, and he just realized how dry his throat had felt. He poured a glass and then chugged it. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and looked over. Red was busy eating, but Poe and Finn were staring at him like he was a creature from some abyss.

"What?" he asked, his voice still deep and scratchy from waking up. "I'm human too, I enjoy food and Barabel fruit juice like everyone else. Oh, and I also enjoy Corellian apple jam," he added.
He felt a fluctuation in the Force and smiled, preparing a second biscuit with jam, and refilled his glass. He turned behind him and opened the counter, finding the bottle he was looking for. When Rey had reached the kitchen, he was holding out a pill and the glass of juice. He could feel the headache she had, and her mood rolled off her like a thick, gagging mist. Her black eye had faded quite a bit, it was just a slight yellow with some purple. She took the pill, no question asked, and chugged her glass of juice. She was standing in her black shirt and underwear, wrapped in Ben's cloak, dragging multiple feet behind her. She munched on the biscuit he handed her before standing on her tip toes to give him a kiss. He obliged and bent down to meet her lips, the three pairs of eyes, quickly moving back to their food. Someone clanked glass on glass, most likely on accident, and Ben pulled away from Rey. She groaned and made her way to the bar where Red was sitting, and climbed into the chair next to him. She moaned, laying her head down on the cold stone bar. Red chuckled at her, and Finn and Poe looked at her with worry. The four men kept eating, and Red had reached over, stroking Rey's back, as she turned to other side of her face to the cold stone bar.

Finally, the sleep monster spoke, "I need a shower," she said groggily.

Ben set the second half of his third biscuit down on Red's plate, and grabbed her hand. He helped her down from the bar, and led her to the wash room, despite the looks from Poe and Finn. He gently pushed her through the door and shut it behind them. He started helping her out of her clothes, and turned the shower on for her. She sat on the edge of the tub, and waited for the water to warm. She looked up at Ben and smiled a wicked smile. His heart jumped. She got up and walked towards him. When she got to him, she put her hands flat on his stomach, and kissed him.
Before he realized what she was going, she had untied his pants and they were on the floor. He looked down into her eyes.

"It'll save time and water, right?" she said, playing with the hem of his tight underwear.

Before he could stop himself, he slipped out of his boxers and pulled Rey into the shower.
He led her under the waterfall and turned her away from him, as he slowly undid yesterday's braid. The water cascaded from the ceiling down on both of them, and the water ran red with the dried blood from both of their heads. Ben started working soap into her hair, massaging her scalp. He was pleased to see her head wound was already sealed shut, and that the soap didn't burn the cut. He let her rinse her hair as he worked the soap into his own hair, wincing as the soap got into his cut. He moved closer to Rey, the water rinsing the soap from his black mane. Rey turned to look at him, and pressed her body against his, slick from the shower. He bent down and kissed her, and she threaded her fingers through his hair. He moved from her mouth to her neck, and she pulled back on his hair. He knew where this was going. He picked her up from the floor, and held her at waist height. She wrapped her legs around his waist, gripping, like her life depended on it. Ben pushed her back against the still cold wall and the hot water rained down on his back. He pushed his waist towards the wall, holding her with just his legs and back muscles now and cupped her face. She tilted her head slightly, to take a thumb in her mouth, and she sucked on it. He chuckled as his erection grew and pulled his thumb from Rey's mouth and moved it between them to circle her clit. She moaned loudly, echoing off the walls in the bathroom. He heard a plate drop in the kitchen, shattering into pieces. He gave her an evil smirk, and pressed harder down on her. Her legs tightened around him ever more. He moved his other hand under them and supported Rey again, his hand on her ass cheek.
Then Rey did something unexpected, she reached underneath herself and started stroking him, skimming her the over his pink head and then back down to the base and back up. His knees started shaking, and he had to use both hands now to hold Rey up. He set her down, keeping one of her legs, holding it right under her knee in the curve of his elbow. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he inched inside her, and she let out another loud moan, reverberating around the room. He listened for a plate drop, but instead he heard someone turn up the Holovid. He smiled down at her. He pulled almost all the way, before pushing in to her, all the way to base. She yelped with surprise as he found a rhythm, the water still pounding on his back. One hand was around her back, the other one was in her hair, pulling gently as he kissed her. Rey opened her mind, and shared with him her pleasure, and he did the same. They reached their peak at the same time, Ben growling into the skin in her neck, Rey shamelessly shouting his name. The Force thrummed around them, tightening and recoiling all at the same time. Ben dropped Rey's leg and moved her back under the water. They washed themselves off and stepped out of the shower. Rey opened the cabinet looking for a towel and stopped. She turned back towards Ben, holding out the only towel left. He laughed at the predicament they were in. He led her to the tub and sat her down on the edge.
