Their eyes meet and Rey's breath hitches slightly, because the emotion swirling in Ben's is always just a little overwhelming. No one has ever looked at her like he has. Other then letting her thumbs brush along his jaw, Rey stays still and lets Ben come to her.

Despite the declarations they've made to each other, Ben still seems a bit hesitant with this. He always lets her be the one to initiate things, and surely some of it is a show of respect but perhaps it's also that he thinks he can only have what she will give him, like even that is too much.

She wants him to know that he can reach for her if he needs her, or even only wants her, and that it's okay. He's allowed to have her, and sugar in his coffee, and soft blankets. He can kiss her whenever he wants.

Their mouths meet and Rey's chest aches at how sweet it is, and she sinks her fingers into his soft hair as she relaxes against him, letting her contentment and eagerness radiate through their bond. They swap long, languid kisses until Rey's lungs burn and she pulls back to smile at him.

He's so good at kissing her. It isn't like either of them have experience to go on, but it isn't that he's good at kissing. He's good at kissing her, and she brings their mouths together again before dipping her head to kiss along his jaw, swollen lips brushing his ear. "Can I stay the night?"
