Part 9.
Rey’s journey to bring Ben back.
My drawings were heavily inspired by “The Shadow city” from “The Aladdin’s Magic Lamp” a 1966 Soviet film by Boris Rytsarev.
"A party?" Ben asked, incredulously. "After our last attempt?"
Rey smiled against him. "As I recall, there were several . . . unforgettable moments at that party."
"Ah." He hands trailed down to her waist, fingers playing with the ties of her dress. "Yes. There were. Ones I would gladly relive." His lips found her temple and then her cheek. Rey drew back to face him once more.
"Before I happily forget what I was speaking to you about—"
"Mhmm." Ben's lips trailed along her jaw.
"This party," Rey began, brow furrowing as she clung to her concentration even as Ben now hovered an almost-kiss above her lips.
He grinned. "This party?"
"This party will just be people who matter to us," Rey said entirely too quickly before pressing a very quick and rather aggressive kiss on his lips. Ben burst out laughing.
"Did I make you that frustrated?" He asked, tilting his head.
"You always make me frustrated," Rey grumbled. Ben had the grace to look apologetic. He brushed the hair from her face, knuckles trailing across her cheekbone.
SEQUEL APPRECIATION WEEK
↳ Day 3: Favorite Relationship : HAN + BEN SOLO
“Ben had the wavy dark hair that Han remembered, now shoulder length. His mother’s cheeks, Han’s chin. Yet everything about him was narrow and stark, as if he had starved himself of nourishment. And his eyes were not the brown eyes Han remembered. They were dim and dark and terribly sad.” - TFA Junior Novelization (Michael Kogge)
