Jason met Sonny outside the bar they were going to have their meeting, "Hey… Everything go okay with Carly and the boys?"

"Yeah Michael's a little upset but he'll be okay"

"Yeah he's a tough kid"

"You ready for this?"

"Sure… what choice do I have? It would be worse if we didn't go"

Jason nodded and followed Sonny into the dimly lit room. Sonny took his seat at the head of the table while Jason remained standing to his right watching everyone intently, looking for any sign of trouble. Just then Johnny Zacchara walked in.

"Good Evening Gentlemen… You may not know why you were called here but don't worry we're not trying anything funny. We're just going to have a little meet and greet and make sure everyone is one the same page"

Just as Johnny finished his introduction Jason watched as the brunette he'd spent the night with at Jake's two weeks ago walk in.

He had forgotten all about her since his preoccupation with Carly. Jason watched her closely as she took her place next to Johnny.

She was just as beautiful as Jason remembered; only he didn't feel that insatiable desire he had two weeks ago. Just then her dark brown eyes met his and he heard Johnny introduce her, "This is my newest partner, my older sister, Claudia Zacchara."

She looked surprised to see him but hid it quickly and smiled at the rest of the gentlemen sitting at the table, "Hello boys"

Everybody remain silent as Johnny introduced each and every mob boss to his sister, "And this is Sonny Corinthos and his partner Jason Morgan"

She nodded at them both, "Mr. Corinthos, Mr. Morgan... it's nice to finally put a face with the name"

Then business got underway, "We didn't even know Anthony Zacchara had a daughter" complained one mob boss.

"Well I was a very well kept secret. But I'm out of hiding now and my brother and I plan on expanding our father's empire"

"What about Trevor Lansing?" questioned another.

"Trevor Lansing is the family attorney and nothing more"

Jason and Sonny remained silent as they evaluated the situation. They'd never really had to deal with a woman.

Sure there was Faith Roscoe but she was nothing, just nuisance. For some reason they were actually worried about this vixen. Jason didn't really care what happened; all he worried about was keeping his family safe while this power struggle occurred.

Sonny on the other hand was thinking of a whole different kind of power struggle he's like to have with the new Zacchara. He could tell she would be a passionate lover and he'd love to get her in bed.

Claudia watched the two silent observers and decided she wasn't going to get much out of them, "Well I guess now we have all meet and we all know what we're each up against… let the fun begin"

Everybody cleared out. Outside the building Jason looked at Sonny, "What do you think?"

"I'm not sure yet… I think I may need a little one on one meeting with Claudia to get a better vibe"

Jason nodded, "I'm gonna head home and check on Carly and the boys"

"Okay I'll see you tomorrow"

Just as Jason was about to hop on his motorcycle Claudia appeared from the shadows, "So Jason Morgan… what a surprise"

"yeah…."

"I hope you don't think just because we slept together I'm afraid of killing you… because I'm not… I'm also not afraid to sleep with you again"

Jason rolled his eyes, "Don't hold you breath… oh and by the way…" he leaned in close to her with daggers, "I'm not afraid to kill you either if you come anywhere near my family"

Claudia smiled unafraid of the ice cold hit man, "Oh family man huh? Don't worry Mr. Morgan… I'm not that heartless"

"As long as we understand each other… good bye"

With that he placed his helmet on and drove off. Claudia smiled at his fading figure. Its too bad she thought. Just then she turned around and came face to face with Sonny Corinthos.

"Mr. Corinthos… pleasure to meet you"

Sonny looked at her with all the desire he had in him, "Oh the pleasure is all mine… I believe it would be best if we got to know one another a little bit better just to make sure we're clear on what we're both up against"

Claudia smiled at his blatant attempt to get her in bed and was intrigued, "Yeah I think that would be best… there's a hotel just down the road… neutral territory you know"

"Shall we?" he asked leading her to his car. Claudia jumped in and smiled again… Sex with both Morgan and Corinthos… this will be easier than I thought.

Sonny quickly was regretting his decision to lead this woman on since he technically was still involved with Kate, but that soon faded as he watched her sexy form climbed into his limo. Kate won't even know Sonny thought. And then they drove off towards the hotel.

Jason walked into his penthouse and found a sleeping Carly on his couch. He stood above her for a couple minutes just watching her sleep and then he slowly picked her up off the couch and carried her upstairs to bed… his bed.

Jason didn't understand what he was feeling; all he knew was that he had to sleep with Carly in his arms tonight. They had been through so much lately, mostly on their own and he just wanted them to be together for a while.

He never wanted to have to go through life without her comments, insisting, and even her plans. And he never wanted her to go through life without him to vent to and keep her clam.

Jason just lay in bed holding her as he drifted off to sleep. Carly awoke in the middle of the night and noticed she was in Jason's room, in Jason's bed, and in Jason's arms. She smiled softly and then dozed back off.

Author's note I just want to thank everyone for their wonderful feedback I'm going to try and keep the updates more consistent but I can't guarantee anything. As you can tell there is a lot of sleeping around in my story but it's only because I want everybody to be connected somehow for a future plot line. Also, Sonny is not my favorite character, he used to be but they have destroyed his character in my opinion, so I'm going to write him a little harsher. If you like Sonny I'm sorry. Another thing, Sonny did propose to Kate and she did run. That was the night she slept with Jax. Anyways, Kate explained to Sonny that she loved him but wasn't ready to take the next step so they decided to keep dating. Hope you're enjoying!!!
