    Summary

    Scholarship student Rey Niima feels like an outsider at the exclusive Vassar College until she discovers a prosocial way to channel her frustration: the NCAA Division 3 Vassar Fencing Team, which needs another female fencer to compete at the upcoming regional collegiate meet. There's just the small—or rather large—issue of the team's volatile leader, who seems determined to put Rey in her place by landing a touch on her.

    Rey isn't sure what kind of touch, and she's become pretty good at parrying. But how will she riposte to Ben Organa-Solo's attacks, both on and off the fencing piste?

    Summary

    BB-8 beeped at her with concern as she threw aside her hooded vest, trembling as she unwrapped her breast band.

    “I do have to do this,” she countered, untying the leather straps in her hair to let it fall in loose waves around her shoulders. It was longer now, curling down her chest to graze her nipples.

    “It’s me he’s after, Bee-Bee, and I won’t be the reason why this mission fails. We need those fuel pods.”

    BB-8 tilted his head at her with a worried coo.

    Rey smiled, despite her burgeoning fear. “No, you can’t come with me. You don’t have the necessary parts.”
