She'd refused him before. More than once. Even more than twice. Was it any surprise that he found it hard to believe that she genuinely wanted him back? It wasn't just that. Snoke had manipulated both of them. Ben may have figured out his own feelings on his own first and he'd been willing to wait for Rey to figure out her's too but he hadn't expected anything.

It was becoming hard to stay on the more playful side when his body was having an embarrassingly fast reaction to the affection.
"I'm sorry I was a tease," Ben peppered her cheeks and jawline with kisses. "I should have found you later and finshed what I started. Forgive me?"
