Summary: Rey will wear whatever she damn well pleases on girlâs night and if Ben has any objections he will have to be very persuasive.
âThere were several reasons Rey usually begged off on girlâs nights out; one of them was called eyeliner.
The damned stuff never cooperated with her. It smeared. It ran. If never went on evenly. If she got a perfect cat eyeliner on one side, the other side ended up looking like she was cosplaying as Elizabeth Taylorâs Cleopatra.
Sheâd been at it for fifteen minutes and the corners of her eyes were growing suspiciously red from scrubbing off her tattoo liner to start anew for what felt like the umpteenth time.
Of course, she could have just said âfuck eyelinerâ and gone without, but she had these fantastic images of herself in the club beside Rose with shimmering eyeshadow and a sultry cat-eye. Rey was, according to some people, a bit of an obstinate pain-in-arse when she set her mind to things.
She was going to go clubbing with a sultry cat-eyeliner, goddamnit, if it were the last thing she did.
She leaned across her vanity until her nose was nearly touching the mirror, opened her eyes wide, tilted her head back and ran the tip of her liquid liner along one eyelid and pulled off a perfect cat eye line.
She started on the second eye. She started on the inner corner of her eye, ran the tip over her lashes, reached the outer corner and ran the tip out into a second perfect cat eye.
Something behind her suddenly slid between her legs and pressed against her cunt.
She shrieked in surprise, lost her balance and face-planted into the mirror of her vanity.
When she removed her face from the mirror she found that half her makeup had detached itself from her face and migrated onto the glass. Both cat-eyes had been irreversibly smeared and Ben Solo was staring at her in the reflection with a darkened and possessive gaze.
His fingers were still cupping her cunt.
âI thought you said it was a girlâs night?â he growled before she had recovered herself enough to scream at him.
âIt is. Iâm going with Rose. Some new club Finn took her to,â she said, reaching down for her phone. âAnd now, thanks to you, Iâm going to be late because Iâm going to have to do my makeup all over again. Look at my mirror.â
She determinedly ignored his hand, still pressed between her legs and set to pulling out a makeup-remover wipe. She already had a small mountain of used ones piled on her vanity.
âYouâre wearing blue, lace underwear on a girlâs night out? With this skirt?â Ben tugged at the black mini-skirt she had put on at though it had offended him in some way.
âYes,â Rey said coolly, scrubbing one eye free of makeup and then starting with the other. âAnd if I decided to go without any underwear it would be my own business.â
Benâs expression grew black and Rey stubbornly ignored it. She pumped some primer onto her fingertip and set to work redoing her eye makeup.
âYou wouldnât dare,â Ben finally said in a dangerous tone.
âTry me,â Rey threatened. âIâm allowed to dress however I please. How I please. Not how you please. You do not dictate my clothing and if you try to, I will end you.â
âAny man could reach up a skirt this short,â Ben grumbled with a stubborn expression.
âAny man could try to fondle me when wearing shorts, or scuba gear, or a burka,â Rey snapped back. âItâs not my job to regulate menâs self-control for them.â
Benâs fingers suddenly tangled into her hair at the base of her neck and tightened, arching her head back for a moment before he suddenly pushed her firmly down until her cheek was pressed against the surface of her vanity. She could feel her beautyblender squishing slightly against her forehead and had a sudden horizontal view of how many beauty products she currently had haphazardly strewn about.
The thought abruptly departed at Benâs weight bore down on her.
âYouâre very small, Rey, some men might think they could take advantage of that fact,â he noted in a cold voice. She felt his crotch suddenly press briefly against her before he pulled away⌠.â
