He pulled her against him until his rigid cock was flush against her stomach. Her core ached just at the feel of it, and though her mind clouded, she struggled to keep her composure.

"No, not that." Shay shook her head.

"Don't tell me you woke me up just because you changed your mind about last night. I've gotta tell you, I'm not as keen on cat and mouse games the second time around."

"It's not that either," she whispered, breathless. Not because she was turned on, though that certainly didn't help. She just couldn't seem to find her breath. Like every time she went to inhale, it simply came up short.

"Okay, then, shoot."

"I need to tell you something important."

"You're pregnant?" he asked.

"Don't be stupid."

"I'm pregnant?" He smiled, and she groaned.

"Matt, I need you to be serious. This isn't an easy thing."

His smile fell and he nodded, though thankfully he didn't bother to say anything else.

"I found out some information. Not all of it, but some," she said.

He didn't speak, only watched her, bemused.

"I found something out. It doesn’t matter how or anything. But it’s important. And it’s about, uh," She tried again for a breath that wouldn't come. "About your mom."

Matt looked like he was about to wince, but stopped midway and returned to his regular, immovable expression.

"She's here, Matt. Somewhere on the island. I guess she must have remarried and—"

"I'll stop you there," Matt said. "There's no need to get yourself all worked up over this."

"But... but it's huge. I mean, your mom—"

"I already knew," he said simply.

"You already..." If she thought she couldn't breathe before, now it was a struggle to even remember what breath was, what breathing felt like.

"Yeah. For a while now."

"But..."

"When you're a celebrity, people have a way of finding out how to contact you." He shrugged, almost like he was talking about the weather.

"H-how long?"

"Have I known about her?" He looked past her for a minute and then said, "Probably two years or so."

"Two years? Two years and you didn't tell Derrick or Andy?"

"Why would I?"

"Because she's your mother. Because they're your siblings."

"Yeah." He shrugged. "But after...well, let's just say I knew how they felt about seeing her. Telling them would not have helped anything."

"So, have you seen her?" Shay asked.
