AN:

This is in response to someone's challenge for a shark week based fic. Okay, I wasn't going to do it. Really I wasn't but my damm muse had other ideas. Personally, I blame the person who suggested it. Still I'm actually kind of enjoying writing this. Which only encourages the muse.

Background:

This is a slightly AU fic. Jason is basically the same. (History, personality, ect.) Elizabeth is like she was when her and Jason first became friends on the show. There are a few differences. The main one is her and Steven are very close. Hopefully the rest will be explain as I go. If you have any questions just ask.

Hope you enjoy!!

Dangerous Waters

Chapter One

There were some people who just didn't belong on a boat. Especially for months at a time. Elizabeth Webber was one of those people. The first time Jason met her she wore a pants suit. She looked so prim and proper. Jason couldn't imagine her working on a boat for four months. Not that she wasn't attractive. Hell the woman was gorgeous. Her chestnut hair and porcelain skin just begged to be touch. But it was her eyes that Jason found himself drawn to. They were a dark blue that he could almost drown in. Jason shook his head at the memory.

Meeting Elizabeth just confirmed his belief that Sonny had lost his mind. When he told Jason about leasing one of their boats out, Jason was stunned. Then Sonny insisted he go along. After about a week and some long fights Jason finally admitted defeat. By that time he had his own reasons for wanting to leave town. His ex-girlfriend Sam was causing all kinds of trouble for him. She just couldn't accept they were over. It didn't matter to her that he caught her in bed with another man; she still thought he was going to forgive her. Jason was brain damaged, not stupid.

"Hey, Jason? When are this people showing up?" Francis asked his boss impatiently.

"Any minute."

"You think Sonny knows what he's doing?"

"He seems to." Jason said with a shrug.

"Well let's just hope he does." Before Jason could reply he saw Steve heading down the dock.

"Hey guys sorry about running late."

"Where's Elizabeth?" Jason asked.

"Fighting with our Grams again. She'll be down in a minute."

"They're fighting now? We're about to leave." Jason

"Don't worry Liz and my Grams could fight in their sleep. It's practically all they do."

"What about?" Francis asked curious.

"Everything. Right now it's about Liz coming on this trip. My Grams think she should be doing something more appropriate. Like nursing." Steven said as he checked the equipment.

The thought of Elizabeth in a nurse's uniform had the male part of his body reacting instantly. The last thing he need was to think of her that way. Too late. He thought as his mind wonder to her soft full lips. Hell, this was going to be a long trip. And up till now he assumed it would be boring.

"Gram, just stop. I'm going with Steve. I love helping him. Besides it's not painting. At least being his assistant is respectable."

"You're going to be alone with strange men for months. Men who work for the mob. How is that respectable?"

"I love you Gram really I do, but I'm an adult now. This is my decision. Mine. Not yours. Not even Steven's." Elizabeth said as she gabbed her bags.

"Fine. Just be careful." Audrey said. She knew better than anyone how stubborn her granddaughter could be.

"I will, Grams. See you in a few months. Bye." She called out running down the docks. She easily found the boat Steven had acquired for this trip. Acquired? That sounded so civilized. The truth was Steven had asked Sonny Corinthos for a favor. She loved her brother but there were times she worried about his sanity. Hell, who wouldn't? The man literally swam with sharks, but getting involved with the mob was just insane. Except Elizabeth liked Sonny. He was nothing like she had expected. Neither was his partner. At first glance Jason Morgan was a cold, intimidating man. But just under the surface was a good man. Not to mention the man looked like a god. His dark blonde hair and blue eyes caught her attention right away. Jason's looks isn't what kept her up at night. No, it was the way he listened. She knew this trip was going to be hell. Steven would have a coronary if he knew she was attracted to Jason. This was why nothing could ever happen. Her brother was the only who believed in her. She wasn't going to ruin their relationship over some guy. Particularly one who didn't know she existed.

Elizabeth hoped on to the boat and tossed her bag down. Steven was talking to Jason and a man she didn't know. "Hey, sorry about that my Grams is nuts."

"It's okay Liz. Have you met Francis yet?"

"No. Nice to meet you." Elizabeth said shaking his hand. "Hi Jason." she said shyly.

Jason turned around to greet her and was stunned by what he saw. The suit he had always seen her in was gone. In there place was a worn fitted graphic tee and blue jean shorts.

Jason stared for a moment before swallowing hard. Hi, was all he managed to get out. Did she even know what she was doing to him? His pants suddenly felt too tight. How was he going to resist her for four months?
