Jyn might have felt too exposed, too vulnerable if this were any other situation. But in this one, with him, she didn't. Her muscles twitched underneath his calloused fingertips, but she did not deny the mutual pleasure of exploring each other.
With that exploration came the understanding that whatever their circumstances, they had experienced similar hardships. Her heart ached for this man that she could never really know, and here in this moment at least, they didn't have to struggle to survive.
Here, they could find peace. It would not last once the morning came, but hopefully, it could be enough.
His fingers stilled, and she thought she knew what caused the hesitation. "It's alright", she murmured, thumbs brushing gentle little circles, one to shoulder, one to side. "I want you to."
