Review and Enjoy!

"Sarah! Alex! Wait up!" Kate called, jogging to catch up with the other girls.

They turned at smiled as she came up behind them. "Hey Kate," Sarah smiled. "How's your knew roommate working out?"

"Uuugh! Totally awful! She's so perky, and she's always playing her stupid music," Kate sighed. "It's like 24/7 Mariah Carey. If I have to listen to her screech along to Fantasy one more time, I swear I won't be responsible for my actions!"

"That's what you get for ditching us for the La La Land," Sarah joked, bumping Kate with her shoulder as the three girls began to walk to their next class.

"I know, I know," Kate sighed. "It could be worse, I guess."

"How?" Sarah asked.

"I could have Kira as a roommate," Kate laughed.

"Tell me about it," Alex rolled her eyes. "She's getting worse. She's started parading through the guys she's testing for the position of boytoy. She actually has a rating system."

Kate shook her head. Despite their issues, she had total sympathy for Alex, she'd known Kira since grade school, and the girl hadn't changed since then. "Well, it's only a couple months until graduation, then you'll never have to see her again, right?"

"God, yes," Alex groaned visibly cheering up. "I can't wait!"

"Can't wait for what?" a new voice asked, and Kate nearly jumped out of her skin.

"Shit Talia! You scared me!" Kate gasped, pressing her hand against her pounding chest.

"Sorry," Talia said, eyebrows raised in surprise.

"Don't worry, you'll get used to it. She's always creeping around. The only time you hear her coming is when she'd with Reid. Then you can hear them bickering a mile off," Alex grinned, ignoring Talia's glare.

"I do not creep!"

"Yeah, you kinda do," Sarah replied, shrugging.

"And Reid and I do not always argue!"

"Yeah, you kinda do," Kate said, grinning with Sarah.

Talia sighed and pouted and Alex patted her consolingly on the shoulder while Kate and Sarah held back their laughs.

"So I was thinking," Kate began as they neared their classroom. "Spring break is coming up, and I though we could all go stay at my dad's place in the Hamptons. What do you think?" she asked.

The other shared a glance, and Kate felt her stomach drop. "What?"

"We, uh…we already have plans," Sarah said, and Kate could tell from her friend's guilty look that she was hiding something.

"What?" Kate asked, pissed off that she hadn't been included.

"Well…" Sarah trailed off, looking to the other two for guidance.

"Ty, Jess, Reid and I are driving down with my brother to visit my family in Chicago. Sarah, you're taking Caleb to visit you parents, right?" Talia looked at the blond girl expectantly.

Sarah looked surprised. "Uh…yeah."

"And I think Alex and Pogue were planning to visit her folks in New Mexico," Talia finished.

Alex gave Kate a weak smile that was half agreement, and half apology. Kate wasn't buying their story for a second. Talia sounded like she was on the level, but the other girls' expressions were telling a different story. "So you're not spending the week together?" she asked, watching Sarah closely.

"Nope," Talia replied easily.

The three of them moved towards the classroom door, and Kate grabbed Sarah's wrist. Sarah looked at her, then back at Talia and Alex. "I'll be in in a second, save me a seat?" They nodded, shooting Sarah a sympathetic look. "What is it, Kate?"

"I thought maybe I'd come to Boston and visit you guys one day, is that cool?" Kate asked watching her friend closely.

"Uh, it's kind of supposed the be just the two of us. And my parents, y'know? Bonding?" Sarah replied, her tone sounding more like she was asking a question, rather than answering.

"You're keeping something from me, Sarah. The same old shit I used to get from Pogue. And somehow they get to know whatever secret you guys are keeping. I can't believe this! I wish you'd just trust me enough to tell me the truth. And if not, if you don't trust your best friend," she said pointedly, "I wish you'd just say you can't tell me, rather than lying to my face. It's insulting."

With that, she pushed past into the classroom and took her seat, purposefully ignoring the curious looks Alex and Talia were giving her, and pretended to pay attention to the teacher as he began his lesson. But inside her mind was whirling. She knew for certain now that there was a specific secret that they were all hiding from her. The look on Sarah's face had been more than enough to confirm her suspicions. And now Kate was determined to discover exactly what they were hiding for her. Whatever it was, the secret had driven her from Pogue in the first place, and she had no doubt that if she knew the truth, he'd come back to her.

Will's hand reached up to push back her thick hair, then ended up cupping her cheek. His thumb brushed gently over her skin as he looked down into her eyes, and Maya felt her knees go weak. A cliché, yes, but absolutely true, none the less. A slight grin tugged at his sinful lips, but before she could ask what was so amusing, he'd lowered his head and was kissing her softly, almost hesitantly.

He just moved his lips over hers, as if he was memorizing the feel, taking in every sensation. She could help the small moan of pleasure she let out, and he took advantage and dipped his tongue inside her mouth. She responded in kind and suddenly the whole tone of the kiss changed.

He cupped her face with both hands and kissed her hard. She gripped his wrists with her hands but didn't push him away, instead she found herself stepping backwards and leading him towards the waiting bed. His hands slid away from her face to wrap tightly around her, pulling her on tiptoes against his hard muscled body.

She clung to him, and when his hands went lower and lifted her effortlessly around his waist, she wrapped herself around him, tight enough that he could let go to pull her t-shirt over her head before lowering them both onto the bed. The next few moments were a blur of reaching hands and dueling tongues as they tugged off each other's clothes in a bid to get their straining bodies even closer together.

The moment they were both naked, he pushed into her without hesitation, sliding easily into her slick heat. Before she could even register the overwhelming sensation he was thrusting into her, relentless.

It was amazing. She knew he'd be passionate and demanding, but it was almost more than she could bear. He was assaulting all her senses at once, surrounding her with the sweet taste of his skin, the heated touch of his body against hers, the sound of his ragged breathing, the smell of their sex filling the room, the sight of his almost feral grey eyes staring down at her.

And her sixth sense, her ability to Read people, was pushing to get free under all the sensation. She could feel her wall crumbling until there was nothing left, and her mind was flooded with his thoughts. All of her. The way she looked writhing under him, the way she felt clenching around him – it was too much.

She through her head back and dug her fingers into the hard muscles of his back as he ripped a silent scream of pleasure from her lips. She held on for dear life as wave after wave of pleasure washed over her, and a few moments later Will kissed her hard, and she felt him explode inside her.

They collapsed, panting, and Maya was still shaking from her massive climax. She swallowed thickly, to brain-fritzed to even think. Will's body was a comforting weight above her, and when he lifted off her slightly, she couldn't help the little sound of disappointment that slipped through her lips.

He chuckled low against the skin of her neck, and she shivered. "Don't worry, Little Witch. We're not finished yet." With that, he began to nuzzle his way across her body, nipping and kissing along the path down her sweat-slicked skin.

Oh, boy…

Kate finally managed to corner Pogue alone after classes had finished for lunch. He was packing up his tools in Autoshop when she approached him to talk. She'd never understood why he loved motorbikes so much, even if he did look hot sitting astride his Ducati.

"Hey," she said softly as she entered the large workshop.

He looked up, a puzzled look on his face, but he smiled softly as he replied. "Hey. What brings you here?"

Kate shrugged, running her hand over the worktop as she slowly walked towards him. "I wanted a chance to talk to you alone. We never really had a chance before."

His smile disappeared, and he shook his head, his long hair still tied back out of his face. "There's nothing to talk about Kate. You left, I moved on. That's it."

"I know that, I guess…But I handled things really badly, and I need to make it right. I have to say my piece, even if it doesn't make any difference. Please," she asked, giving him the same look that always worked on her Dad. She wanted Pogue back, and just as much, perhaps more, she wanted to know what the big, bad secret was. She was perfectly okay with using every dirty trick in the book to get what she wanted.

He looked at her a moment, then nodded, leaning back against the workbench behind him and crossing his arms over his chest.

She took a deep breath, determined to get it right. "I still love you. That hasn't changed. I want you back. I'm not giving up so easily. I know you've moved on, and I don't doubt that you care about Alex, but I also know you can't just turn feelings on and off like that. You still love me too. We didn't break up because our feelings changed, we broke up because of the stupid secret you and the other Sons have, the one you refuse to let me in on. Instead, you tell everyone but me! Why is Alex so different from me? Talia? Jess? Sarah? Why are they allowed to know, and not me? It's not fair! I know that if you just told me what was going on, we would be okay!"

"Kate," he began, frowning. "If…if there was some secret we were keeping from you, there would be a reason. And I think that even if you did know…I don't think we'd be together anymore," he sighed in frustration.

"Because of Alex?" Kate asked, her blood boiling. He'd all but admitted hiding something from her, and he still refused to tell her!

"No. I don't know," he sighed again. "Come on, Kate! We were fighting more than we were together! Were you truly, honestly happy with that? Did you want to spend the rest of your life in that kind of relationship? Part of me knew things would never last between us, that's why I never told you. Now things are different. We're friends, all of us. It's doesn't have to be an issue if you don't let it," he finished.

"Just ignore it? Pretend I don't see the secret looks, the whispered conversations that stop the second I enter the room? Are you kidding?!" she demanded, not believing that he would insult her like that.

"Kate, has it ever occurred to you that this might be the kind of secret you're better off not knowing?" he asked quietly.

That stopped her cold in her tracks. For all the wondering she done on what it could be that they were hiding, she'd never thought it might be dangerous. They just weren't the type. But something in Pogue's voice was very serious, as if he was trying to warn her off without telling her anything specific. "Ohmygod! Are your fathers Mafia or something?" she asked, eyes wide.

Pogue actually chuckled at that. "No way. Man, I can just see it. My dad sitting there like Don Corleone. Don Parry. Ha!" He shook his head, sobering up. "Just trust me Kate, you're better off not knowing. The others…we didn't choose to tell them, they just found out. And it hasn't exactly made their lives easier, trust me. Just this once, Kate…just let it go. Move on. Find some guy you can wrap around you finger, someone who can give you what you want. What you deserve. Because you deserve someone who can be honest with you, and that isn't me."

Kate was quiet, taking in what he had to say, and wondering for the first time if she actually wanted to know what was going on. "I…okay. For now, I'll let it go. But do me a favor and stop treating me like an idiot. If you guys have to do something, or talk about something, just tell me, instead of lying to me."

Pogue nodded, pushing off to stand straight. "I'll talk to the others." She turned to walk away. "Kate," he said, stopping her in her tracks. All she wanted to do was go find some corner and cry her eyes out, then figure out what to do next. "Kate, I want you to be happy, okay? I don't want to push you away from everyone, not because of me. I do still care about you."

He was looking for some kind of conformation that she understood, so impulsively she stepped forward and hugged him. There was no innuendo this time, she was just remembering the years they'd known each other, all the memories she shared with him and the other guys. After a moment, she felt his arms circle her, holding her tight for a moment. He planted a caste kiss on her head before pulling back with a soft smile.

"Goodbye Pogue," she said, and although they'd still see each other every day as friends, there was a feeling of finality to the words, and Kate finally realized that it was truly over between the two of them.
