Friends

"Poe!" Rey hissed softly as the pilot grabbed her arm and pulled her behind the shelf holding engine parts. "What are you doing?"

He directed her into the corner, stepping into her until her back hit the wall. He looked deeply into her eyes, and when she didn't protest anymore, he moved in to kiss her.

Rey had come to the hanger to drop off some reports for the Commander from Leia. She had not expected to get accosted by the pilot. She wouldn't have minded, but they were in a public place, and they were supposedly keeping their relationship a secret.

Poe's kisses shut off any protests she may have had. Force, she loved his kisses. They couldn't even really be called 'kisses,' she thought. He made love to her mouth, using lips and tongue and even teeth on occasion. It was carnal, it was sensual, it was lascivious. It caused her arousal to go from zero to one hundred in seconds.

She dropped the data pad she had been holding onto the floor and wrapped her arms around his neck, fisting his hair in one hand. He groaned into her mouth; he loved it when she pulled on his hair. He eased back, coming up for air, and they both gasped for a moment.

"What's this about?" Rey whispered, panting.

He shook his head. "I was letting my imagination get carried away while I was working, and then you walk in, and I just needed to continue with my fantasy." He grinned. "It's so much better in real life."

Rey glanced over his shoulder. "There are too many people here," she argued.

Poe moved his hips forward, and Rey caught her breath as she felt his arousal press into her. "Kriff, Poe!" He was not making this easy.

"Tell me you're not wet," Poe mumbled against her cheek. He brought his tongue out and licked the corner of her mouth.

Rey moaned and bit her bottom lip, trying to keep silent. She couldn't deny it.

His lips traveled down her cheek to her jaw, then down to her neck. Rey threw her head back, feeling it tap against the wall behind her, then she lifted her right leg, bringing it up around his hip, opening herself to him.

He moved his hips in immediately and began rutting against her core. "Kriff, Rey. I can feel how hot you are even through our clothes," he said against her neck. His hands had dropped down to cup her ass, pulling her lower body into him, meeting his thrusts. With his flight suit, utility belt and blaster on, and she with her leggings, blaster, and belt with Luke's lightsaber at her waist, this was all they could do.

Until tonight. When they could meet secretly out in their special place in the forest. Rey's body shuddered as she thought about what he would do to her there.

"Hey, Poe?"

Finn's inquiry was all the warning they had, and it was far too late, as their friend came around the corner immediately after he called out.

Poe pulled back as Rey dropped her leg. He spun around to face Finn. They were both gasping for air, faces flushed.

Finn stared at them wide-eyed, looking back and forth between them, his shock evident. Then he seemed to collect himself, and the shock changed to anger and hurt. "How long?" he whispered.

Rey licked her lips. They had talked about telling Finn. He was their best friend, after all. But it had been exciting and heady sneaking around, keeping this secret from everyone but BB8 (who they had made promise to not tell anyone).

Poe cleared his throat and glanced back at Rey. "Uhm, about three weeks now," he answered.

"Three… three weeks?" Finn muttered. "How..?" he started, glancing back around the corner he had come around, making sure no one was close. "Does anyone else know?"

Rey shook her head. "Just BB8," she said softly. "Finn, we wanted to tell you…"

"But it was still so new, so special," Poe continued when Rey paused. "We just wanted to keep it to ourselves for a while. Make sure it was real." He shook his head a little. "We don't want Leia or the rest of command to know. Not yet."

"Why?" Finn asked, his face confused.

Poe looked at Rey, his eyebrows high. He had asked her that more than once in the last three weeks.

Rey sighed. "I'm supposed to be a Jedi, Finn. The Jedi didn't…" she waved her hand vaguely between herself and Poe. "Do this."

Finn snorted. "If you really believe that, you're more naive than I thought."

"Finn," Poe started to argue, ready to defend Rey even when he didn't agree with her.

"What?" Finn countered. "I'm supposed to be happy about this? That my two best friends were keeping something so important from me?"

"I'm sorry, Finn," Rey told him. "It was my idea to keep it a secret. Please don't be mad at Poe."

Finn stood with his arms crossed, his expression stern. "I'm not… mad, really. I just… you guys both mean a lot to me, and I want to be a part of your lives." He paused. "I know I've been with Rose a lot lately, and not spending a lot of time with you… which is probably why you managed to sneak this by me, just so you know!"

Rey and Poe smiled.

"And we are both very happy for you and Rose," Poe said.

Finn took a deep breath. "Is it serious?" he suddenly asked. "I mean, is it more than just a fling?" He was looking at Poe as he said this. He knew the pilot was much more experienced than Rey in the relationship department.

Poe once more looked at Rey, a question in his eyes as he said firmly, "I know it's real." He cocked his head. "I'm in this for the long haul." He paused, and Rey felt his gaze upon her as if it was a physical thing. "I'm here as long as she wants me."

Rey felt her heart race. They had never talked about the future. Not really. This relationship had started unexpectedly, when an argument had become heated and they had ended up making out under the Falcon. They had pulled apart, shocked and aroused, then Rey had told him breathlessly to meet her after the evening meal in the meadow south of the base. She had been so afraid he wouldn't come, and a part of her had hoped he wouldn't, but he had. And her life had never been the same since.

She gave Poe a soft smile. "That's going to be for a very, very long time, Commander."

Finn gave a sigh of relief. Once more he looked back around the corner. "Well, if you want to keep this a secret, you're damn lucky I was the one who found you and not Suralinda."

Rey and Poe laughed.

"So, you'll keep quiet?" Rey asked Finn. "For now?"

"Of course," Finn nodded. "No more secrets, okay?"

"Okay," Poe agreed. He looked back at Rey. "I better get back to work."

"Oh!" Rey gasped. She picked up the dropped data pad. "I was supposed to give you this." She handed it to Poe.

Finn started laughing. "I'm thinking that if you want to keep this a secret, you two need to control yourselves a whole lot better!"

Rey blushed as Poe ran his hand over his face. "Yeah, yeah," he grumbled good naturedly. "Let's get back to work."
