Ronan slammed his hands on the shower wall as the cold water cascaded down his body.
'What was that? Why did I react so differently near Leia? And why it felt like I... I liked that feeling,' he thought. This was the first time he felt so strange near a woman.
'Maybe because she's too outspoken,' he reasoned and closed the shower tap. Wrapping a towel around his lower body, he stepped out of the shower room and stood before the sink.
As he began brushing his teeth, his mind again drifted to Leia. That soft, sweet smile of hers. The way her eyes sparkled with mischief one moment and shifted to curiosity the next.
Ronan cursed internally for thinking about Leia again and lowered himself. Rinsing his mouth, he returned to the room to wear his clothes.
"Fuck! What are you doing here?" Ronan gasped, quickly folding his arms over his chest as if it would somehow shield him from her gaze.
