Chapter 7–Desire
Jason put Liz down and is stunned by the amount of fire in her eyes.
"Don't do that again," she yelled at him angrily.
Brenda ran into the room. "What the hell happened?"
Liz sat on the bed and put her head in her hands. "I'm sorry I yelled at you," she said before looking at Jason. "I'm not sure where that came from."
Brenda's studied them for a moment. "Forget him. Will you please tell me what happened?"
Liz recounted what had occurred at the diner as Brenda laughs so hard she is in tears. "Oh my God." She fell onto the bed. "I wish I could have been there. That girl is beyond annoying."
Jason turned and went back downstairs.
"You think he's mad at me?"
"Hmm," Brenda said looking over at her, "who Jason?"
Liz nodded.
"Who knows with that one. It depends on if he took some Midol today or not."
"What about Sonny?"
"Sonny loves his sister, but when he finds out that she threw the first punch, he won't hold it against you."
Liz smiled. "That was so much fun."
Brenda squealed. "I like you more every day."

They went back downstairs and Courtney was gone.
"Sonny, I'm sorry I yelled at you. She just pissed me off," Liz said sheepishly.
Sonny couldn't hide the amusement in his eyes. "You have got some temper there. "
Liz threw up her hands. "Who knew?"
He grinned. "Look, Courtney needs to learn that if she is going to start something, she better be sure she can finish it. I'm sorry if she shoved you."
"I guess trying to flush her down the toilet was a bit of an overreaction."
Brenda spits out her water.
"Brenda, come on, the maid was just here," Sonny said.
Brenda grabbed a napkin and wiped off the table. "Sorry."
Realizing that Jason is glaring at her, she glances at him and slowly said, "Are you constipated? Do you need some fiber?"
"Do you want me to take you into the bathroom?" Jason said mocking the way she had said it.
A wicked smile appears on her face and she's just about to respond when Sonny got up and dragged her into the kitchen to avoid the impending fight.
Jason sat in a chair.
Liz gnawed on her lip as she wondered if he's mad. "I'm sorry I caused so much trouble."
Jason took a deep breath and sighed. "You want to tell me why you kissed me?"
She wasn't expecting that question at all and she sat back on the couch and just stared for a minute until she figured out what she wanted to say. "Maybe it was because I wanted to put her in her place." She suddenly stood and moved towards him. "It could have been that I was trying to help you out, or maybe it was because I just wanted to. I guess you'll never know." Feeling awkward, she turned to move away, but Jason grabbed her arm and pulled her against him. He grabbed her head and ran his lips across hers and then danced his tongue along the space in between them and with a faint moan, Liz opened for him and he lightly flicked his tongue in and out of her mouth before sucking on her lower lip and pulling back. His eyes almost burned a hold in her soul. "If you're going to kiss me, then at least make it good." He let her go and walked out the front door.
Liz fell onto the chair he had been sitting in. "Damn," she whispered touching her lips.

Jason pounded on his steering wheel. "Dammit, why did I just do that?" He hadn't intended it to go that far. She was just being so sexy and defiant, and he couldn't help himself. The more he is around her, the more pissed off he is getting with everyone else. Brenda seems ten times more annoying and he wants to choke Milo and Max for their incessant banter.
He pulled over to the side of the road. "I have got to get it together," he muttered before taking a deep breath and trying to push her face out of his mind. After a minute, he pulled back onto the road and tried to think about anything else.

The next morning, Jason parked the SUV at Sonny's and waited for Liz to come out. He tracked her as she left the house and then joined.
He put the car in reverse and navigated out of the driveway and then stopped.
"Why are you staring at me?"
"Brenda told me to," she said before laughing. "She said you hated it."
Jason shook his head. "Really?"
"Sorry, I owed her."
He finished backing onto the street and then kept his eyes on the road, willing himself not to glance her way.
She finally broke the silence. "So, why did you kiss me?"
Jason groaned and then made a right off the road and pulled over. He put the car in park and leaned back in his seat looking straight ahead.
"I didn't mean to take it that far, but I guess I lost control." He sounded defeated. There weren't too many times that Jason Morgan lost control and in his line of work, it is considered a weakness. And weak was not a word that anyone would use to describe him.
He heard her seatbelt unclick and before he knew it she was straddling him, and he watched curiously as she studied his face and then began to trace her fingers from his hairline down his cheek. Slowly, she started inching her face closer and realizing her intention, he met her halfway. His lips pressed against hers and at the same time tugged her all the way against him. They passionately kissed until Jason, feeling the heat building up in his body, broke them apart. As they stared, the sound of the breathing is a further reminder of what had just happened, and the spell went unbroken until Liz wordlessly moved and climbed back into her seat and buckled herself in.
They said nothing the rest of the way to the hospital while Liz is a hot mess on the inside. She didn't know what made her do that but after stealing a glance at his face, he is clearly uncomfortable.
Jason, on the other hand, was just trying to think about anything else so that the blood flow causing havoc in his pants would retreat. He parked the car and got out and opened her door. They walked inside and headed to Kevin's office without saying a word.
"I'll wait here," Jason said softly as he sat on a chair in the hallway.
Liz moved inside. "Hello, Dr. Collins."
Kevin stood and shook her hand. "Please, call me Kevin. Have a seat."
They sat, and Kevin started talking. "So, Monica tells me that you were found during a storm and you don't remember anything at all prior to that night."
"That's correct."
"Have you had any flashes of memory?"
Liz sighed. "Not really. I wouldn't call it flashes. It's more a knowing like I remember the words to a song that I've never heard before or I really like potatoes suddenly."
He smiled. "Well, that is a good start. What about personality?"
"It's weird. Sometimes, I'm kind of reserved but I seem to have this wilder, tough side that rears its ugly head."
"And what happens when that pops out?"
Liz blushed. "Well, I got in a fight with Courtney and pushed her face into a toilet."
Kevin tried not to laugh. "Really?"
Liz nodded. "And, I kissed someone that I probably shouldn't have."
He observed as she shifted in her seat. "Why does that make you feel uncomfortable?"
"Because, I can't quite figure him out and sometimes, when I act on my impulses it makes me a little nervous."
Kevin cleared his throat. "Bella, would you consider hypnotism?"
She made a face. "Explain."
"Well, I was thinking of putting you under and then seeing if any memories come back."
She fidgeted nervously in her seat. "Can Jason come in?"
Now it was Kevin's turn to fidget. Jason is intimidating. "Would that make you feel more comfortable?"
She nodded.
"Is he outside?"
"Yes."
Kevin got up and opened the door, making Jason look up. "Could you come in here, please?"
completely normal. He was the last thing on her mind before she fell asleep.
