Lucky You Have Me

Chapter Ten

After kissing Carly for a while Jason knew that he had to make a choice to take it further or not that night. As much as he wanted to make love to her, especially since the kids were out of the Penthouse, he decided against it.

The look in her eyes were almost sure about them but not quite yet. He knew that was because he had sprung this on her without warning. He thought about it for months but he didn't tell her that.

Though he didn't think he was the best at talking about feelings he knew she needed to hear something more from him before they could make love.

And he wanted her to wake up tomorrow loving him, not regretting him. Jason was in the mode of working overtime to not mess this up.

Breaking away from her he went to get off the bed as she made protesting sounds and tried to pull him back before her lip poked out in a pout.

She asked "Where are you going?"

He went to the dresser and opened a drawer, pulled out a t-shirt and then said "Change,"and motioned for the bathroom.

She was still wearing a red silk dress, a diamond necklace, diamond bracelet and silver heels because she went to a charity event earlier in the night.

Carly slowly stood up, her eyes dancing with amusement and happiness suddenly, and then she turned in front of him and said "Could you get this zipper for me?"

Grinning a little bit he slid it down and let out a shaky breath.

She teased "Are you sure I will need that t-shirt tonight?"

He lay a gentle kiss on her shoulder. "Yeah. Now go."

She let the gown drop and revealed that she was wearing a strapless bustier and white satin panties along with thigh highs. Jason swallowed hard as he looked at her body. She flashed him a smile before she grabbed and went to change. She was in there for more than ten minutes. Jason walked over to the door and knocked once.

"Hey.....you okay?"

The door flew open and she hit his arms at full force, knocking him back a few steps, and when he wrapped his arms around her she was lifted right off the ground.

"Jase!" she cried happily.

Their lips met and they started kissing desperately for a minute. He lay her on the bed and then came down over her, his hands on either side of her body, staring in her eyes. He gave her an emotionally charged kiss while her hand slid over his bare chest. He started to kiss her neck and that was it....they weren't slowing down for anything.

When their bodies joined together there were tears in both their eyes. Coming together felt spiritual and soul fulfilling. When he held her in his arms afterwards he stroked her hair and said "I want you to know you can never lose me. You can still count on me no matter what."

She planted a kiss on his chest. "I don't wanna think about the next time I fall right now. Maybe I'll never crash down again. Did you ever think that just maybe you are all I need to stay strong? Because I do. I believe in that, Jase. I honestly always have believed in you."

"I believe in our family, Carly," he whispered. Then he wrapped himself more around her, kissed her one more time and closed his eyes, drifting off to sleep holding her in his arms so tight that he prayed she knew he had no doubts tonight had been just what he wanted and needed most.

XXXXXXXXX

He woke up to kisses being placed on his jaw, throat and then his cheek. Raising a hand he kept her there and moved his mouth so that he caught her lips in a kiss, without ever opening his eyes. When his eyes did open he turned his head on the pillow and looked at her.

"Hey," Jason said, with a small smile.

"Hey," she whispered back, rubbing her hand over his chest.

He caught her hand and held it. Then he raised it and kissed it. "Does this feel right to you?"

Her eyes were huge as she searched his eyes. He asked "Carly?"

She kissed him desperately and they started to make love again. Later they lay with her halfway on his chest, her leg between his, and their fingers intertwined on one of their hands.

"Jase....do you remember it feeling this damn good back when you were my boy on the side?"

He grinned a little. "It was damn good."

She smiled. "Yeah...but this is better."

"Yeah."

She looked up at him and then they shared a tender kiss. Leaving go of holding his hand, once they broke their kiss, she playfully slapped his chest. "You could have told me you wanted this before last night!"

"You just got out of a marriage."

"Months ago."

"I didn't know what I was ever going to say to you...about what I was feeling...I just didn't want you and the boys to move out." He gave her a slightly wide eyed look and added "I didn't expect you to go find a date."

She smirked. "Jealous, huh? No reason to be. I'd take you as my escort over anybody any day of the week."

After a minute Jason got out of bed. He grabbed his phone and told Carly "Cancel your appointments and tell Sonny to keep the boys all weekend." Then he headed for the bathroom with the sound of her happy laughter ringing in the air. It wasn't long before he was in the shower and she was joining him.

Uninvited but that was just her style. To come into his place and take over whatever she wanted. This time he did not mind it all.

(Lucky I'm in love with my best friend.

Lucky to have been where I have been.

-

Lucky to be coming home again.

Lucky we're in love in every way.

-

Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed.

Lucky to be coming home some day.) (Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat)

THE END

I might do a sequel to this story. We'll see if the muse is into it.
