A/N: I'm so sorry! It has been forever but as always life got in the way. I hope you enjoy anyway.

Rey could feel something warm and soft against her back. There was some pressure on her waist as well.
Slowly her mind pulled out of sleep and started to put the pieces together. The warmth against her back was Ben and that was his arm wrapped around her waist. She could also sense his breath against her neck now. It raised goosebumps all over her skin.

It was still early, there was just a hint of light outside and the sun was only just starting to rise. Rey could tell that Ben was still sound asleep and probably wouldn't wake up soon. Rey sighed. That gave her some time to think.

Her thoughts went immediately to the kisses they had shared and the feelings they evoked in her. Just the thought of it left her body tingling and let her stomach flutter. She had never thought that she would feel something like that. That someone could make her feel this way. That HE could make her feel this way.
Yes, she had felt the urge to be close to him, there had been longing and attraction towards him, but she had always pushed it away in the past with the thought of who he was and what he had done on her mind.

But it had changed. He had changed.

And now there was no denying and no turning back for her. She cared about him. Deeply. Now that she admitted it to herself she wondered how she had managed to hide it this long.
Still this didn't make her blind towards the things he had done in the past. She would not forget them, but she could forgive him. He was eager to explain himself and there was a lot of regret in him. She could sense it.

Ben stirred behind her, mumbled something in his dreams and pulled her closer against him nestling his face in her neck.
Rey gasped in surprise. She had been wrong. His chest wasn't soft. She could feel his muscles and something a bit lower that definitely wasn't soft at all. She felt a rush of heat through her body. That was still very new to her.

Of course she knew and had heard things about the ongoings between men and women. She had seen a lot of women back on Jakku who sold their body to men and even talked to a few of them. But talking about it and experiencing it were two totaly different things. None of the women had told her about the feelings simple touches could evoke. Or the need that went along with them and that she could feel now starting to rise in her.

And it didn't become easier when Ben grabed her waist harder in his dreams. She had to wake him up since he didn't know what he was doing involuntarily. The sun had started to rise now anyway and there was the light of a new day shining through the window.

Rey touched the hand that was grabbing her waist lightly.
"Ben?", she said softly.
"Hmm..."
"Ben. It's time to wake up."
"Just another minute..."
Rey giggled lightly. In the last days she had discovered that he had problems to get up in the morning.
"Okay", she answered, "you can get a few more minutes but could you let go of me?"
He was silent for a few moments and Rey would have thought that he had went back to sleep hadn't his body tensed a bit.
"No", came the answer and she felt his lips pressing against her neck for a moment. "I don't want to ever let go of you again."
"Ben...", she whispered not knowing what to say to this.

He softly turned her around so that she was laying on her back and looked down at her. There was a warm smile on his face, one that Rey had only just discovered yesterday and that she already couldn't get enough of. She smiled back at him and touched his cheek lightly. He pressed his face against her hand and placed a small kiss in her palm. Then he bend down to her kissing her softly.
It didn't take long for the kisses to become more and more heated.

Not far from the small hut in the middle of a few trees stood a man shimmering in a soft blue light.
"You're not planning on disturbing them again, are you?", came a voice.
Luke turned around as his old master came up behind him.
"That's not the way of the Jedi and you know that", he answered.
"I know", Obi-Wan sighed, "but they are no Jedi."
"How come you are so calm about all this?", Luke asked gesturing towards the hut. "You have seen what happened to my father! You where there! How can you not want to stop this?"
"Maybe because trying to stop things like this didn't turn out well with your father", Obi-Wan answered sternly.
Luke wanted to argue again but the old Jedi master laid a hand on his shoulder.
"You know that it is meant to be like this. There is no reason to stop this so let them be. They can decide on their own."
Luke still didn't look happy about it but at least didn't seem to be too upset any longer.
"But..."
"No! Now come the others are waiting."
