The Force of the Dyad

~Chapter 4 ~ Attack of the Senses

"Rey," Ben's voice was husky and deeper than usual, as he spoke after their long silence. "My sweet Rey..." he hesitated slightly, then began again, "you know Rey... we are joined together in the strongest possible bond... nothing can be closer than the two of us, and I feel it, so strongly, your pull on me..." his voice trailed away, and he swallowed, not knowing how to go on.

"Yes Ben?" Rey asked, looking up at him expectantly. When she saw the expression on his face, and the smolder in his eyes, her cheeks flushed rosy pink, as her breath caught in her throat. Her heart started to beat faster, catching up to keep pace with his.

"You are more myself than I am... I am more you than I am me..." He paused, looking deeply into her eyes, and his voice got even deeper, caressing her with its silken tones. "You know we are more of a bonded pair than it's possible for any couple to be. We are two parts of one soul."

Rey felt as if her whole body was engulfed in flame, as she looked deep into Ben's glowing blue/brown eyes. She was falling so hard, or was she floating? Nothing made sense but Ben... "I feel it too," she whispered to him. Then she shivered and pushed her body closer into his, and softly moaned his name, "Ben."

That was all it took, and then they absolutely devoured each other. Their long built up passion and stifled desires burst forth from their thick prison walls. They felt the force swirling and flowing around them, with them, guiding them.

Rey was excited to see that her Force Ghost "husband's" clothes came off just fine; that the blue glow shining off his body did nothing to detract from his perfections, and had the benefit of simply making him easy to see in the dark. She was like a fiery moth gravitating towards a cool blue flame. Finally, able to closely explore what she had a glimpse of on one of their first force connections, back when she was training with Luke on Acht-to, and oh! He was beautiful.

Ben, with the ardent love and intense passion he felt for Rey so long being rejected, was living in his most exquisite version of heavenly bliss... at last, finally, his deepest cravings and most secret desires were being satisfied, with his most beloved, darling Rey. She was perfection itself, and he kissed her over and over again, all over, with a relish that made her moan out his name in ecstasy.

After quite some time, when they could play no more, and their need was too great to be delayed any longer, Rey guided Ben to take her fully; they became truly one. Ben moaned dirty nothings in Rey's ear, as their rhythm got more and more intense; finally Rey screamed out, "KYLO!" as they came to a shuddering, planet shattering stop. At long last, they had consummated their force dyad bond, their soul marriage, and it was truly their heavenly paradise.

Dizzily, Ben collapsed against Rey, as she wrapped her arms and legs around him and buried her face into his broad shoulder, enjoying the feeling of closeness, and of his weight pressing down upon her, as they gasped and panted, savoring the blissful moment. Then, suddenly Ben rolled over, pulling her on top of him, chuckling and laughing. Looking at her mischievously, with a huge grin on his face, he asked, "Did you just call me Kylo?" Rey giggled and flushed. "I may have had a few naughty, er... fantasies about your alter ego, once upon a time!" They both laughed, and Rey pulled her face on level with his, leaning down for another kiss. At that very moment, they heard pounding on the door. Rey jumped.

"Rey? Rey? Are you ok?" Finn's voice called from the other side of the door. "Rose heard you scream! You haven't come out or made a sound for three days, enough of this silence Rey! Open the door right now. I'm here for you, I want to make sure you're ok!"

Rey covered her mouth with both hands, aghast, and looked down at Ben with laughing alarm in her eyes. "You better put something on and get rid of him, or else you'll have a LOT of explaining to do!" he murmured with a twinkle still in his eyes, "Still not sure if anyone besides you can see me." He leaned back onto the bed, cockily, arms folded behind his head, relaxed and sleepy-satisfied, with his endearing lopsided grin on his face.

Rey almost couldn't bear to tear herself away, he looked so delicious, but just then Finn knocked again, and she knew she didn't have much time before he forced an entry. She lightly leapt out of bed, scrambling through the snowy pile of bedsheets and linens, contrasting with Ben's dark clothes, looking for her robes; calling out in the meantime "One moment Finn... I'm ok Finn honestly... I was asleep and was dreaming it seems, don't come in, I'm not decent..." She found her undergarment draped over one humongous black boot, and her silky robe tangled in the warm black sweater. Finally semi dressed, she wrapped a sheet around herself, and turning on a warm, soft light to mask Ben's purely blue glow enveloping the room, she cracked open the door.

Finn eyed her worriedly through the crack. "Rey, are you ok? I've tried to stay away and respect your privacy, but you have been in that room for three days now. You haven't even called for anything to eat! And screaming out in your sleep isn't normal."

"Oh Finn... you ARE one of my dearest and kindest friends! I'm so sorry to have been a cause of worry to you all... I have simply been too exhausted and numb to see anyone. I'm doing so much better now, I don't want you to fret over me. Please tell everyone I am doing ok, and not to worry... but I do need some more time alone."

She paused, as her stomach growled. "I really HAVEN'T eaten very much at all," she hastily continued, extremely conscious of Ben in bed behind her, "and I WOULD appreciate a nice warm dinner if you or Rose could ask the kitchen to send a tray of something... dear Finn! Thank you."

Finn looked at her a trifle suspiciously for a moment, then relented. "Alrighty Rey", he said gently. "I'll go talk to the kitchen staff myself... and I'll let everyone know what you said. Chewy was asking about you especially, and is taking it rather hard that you are going through this alone.. he understands though. We've all suffered too much loss... he will be leaving with Lando in the morning, on the Falcon."

Rey looked down for a moment, and Finn soon thought he noticed a small, secret smile flash across her face for the briefest of seconds; but then, he blinked, and it was gone. "I may have imagined it," he thought to himself and shrugged, as he gazed at her watchfully. Then Rey looked up into his honest eyes. "I know I'm not alone!" she said, and gave him her serious, sympathetic smile. He smiled back, bid her goodnight, and she quickly sealed the door behind her. Undressing in haste, she jumped back into Ben's waiting arms.
