Chapter synopsis: Jason has a special moment with AJ as well as with Aria.

Song Inspiration: Higher Love by Depeche Mode

Warning: This chapter contains my lame attempt at smut, which was not my intent for this one, but since I'm not able to stick to a plan my imagination just takes over. Mateo's advice is based off a real-life event. I was a nineteen at the time and almost died of embarrassment when my GBF had the "talk" with me.

~~~ Chapter 21-Asleep In Your Arms ~~~

When AJ came barreling into the room to wake Aria the next morning, he stopped short when he seen his mother lying in Jason's arms. Ella had tried to slow him down. She hadn't been quite asleep, when they came in last night and she didn't know what they would see when he swung open the door in excitement to see his mother, but Ella should have realized that Aria and Jason were being careful not wanting to do anything that could have on adverse effect on AJ or his relationship with his father.

AJ paused for a moment to consider what to do. He ultimately decided to do what he always did when he woke up before her. He launched himself on the bed, unknowingly waking her up as he always did, he also woke his father. Jason laid there silently and watched as Aria pretended to be asleep, as she always did and AJ proceeded to "wake her" with butterfly kisses all over her face until she pretended to wake up. "Did I wake you up Mommy?"

"Yes, you did. Just like sleeping beauty being awoke by the handsome prince."

AJ sighed, for some reason his mom always thought she was a princess when she woke up and he would have to remind her of who she was, "You not Sleeping Beauty, you are Mommy."

"Huh?" Aria said as if confused, then sapped her fingers "You're right I am Mommy." Then as per the ritual she grabbed him kissing him all over his face and tickling him until he was laughing and begging her to stop which she did immediately. But this morning something in the ritual changed usually he put his arms around her neck and pulled himself into her arms. Today he wiggled himself between his parents and pulled Aria's arm around him and then he pulled Jason's arm over him as well.

Jason not wanting to interrupt the mother and son moment, had remained quiet through the ritual and knew that somehow this made him fall in love even more with his son and his mother something he didn't think was possible. When AJ pulled his arm over him Jason looked at Aria with widened eyes, surprise, pleasure and love shining in their depths. He hadn't expected AJ to include him, Aria smiled at him and winked before turning on her side to snuggle AJ closer in order to hold him and put her arm around Jason's waist.

With a contented sigh, AJ lay between Aria and Jason feeling safe and warm. Ella had quietly stood at the door watching them and almost started crying at the touching moment and as quietly as she could she closed the door to allow her daughter's family a much needed privacy.

Jason hadn't meant to fall asleep, he had meant to go home after an hour or so, but things hadn't gone according to plan. After they had watched AJ for a few moments Aria had led him to the guest room. once he had pulled her in his arms he had leaned over kissing her, but Aria swiftly took control pushing him back against the mattress, her mouth opened over his and her tongue brush against his lips, he settled his hands on her hip and parted his lips for her exploration. with a soft sigh her tongue entered and wrapping around his caressing and guiding his into her mouth as her hands began to explore his body under the material of his shirt. Jason couldn't stop the moan when her hand brushed over muscular pecs caressing his small masculine nipples. Aria's lips curved into a smile, swallowing his moan of pleasure.

She grasped his lush bottom lip biting and sucking it before kissing her way down his jawline and neck. She stopped at his collar bone exploring it with her lips, tongues and teeth, for a bit before moving down kissing his sternum as her hands moved to the hem of his shirt and slid under just as she bit down a hard nipple through the soft cotton material, "Aria." He said through clinched teeth, his eyes squeezed tight and head thrown back as Aria continued to explore the bare flesh his firm muscular torso with her hands moving under her shirt, while biting and kissing over his shirt and the different sensations was making it hard to keep quiet. She continued to move down and finally her lips came into contact with the bare skin of his flat stomach. His body jerked when she bit sensually into a ridge of muscle before moving to explore the small belly button. "Mmm Aria. we need to slooow..." the words died in his throat when Aria's exploring hands pushed the shirts up over his chests and Aria moved from his bellybutton to his now exposed nipples and took one into her mouth, her hands moving lower exploring and caressing his lower body. Jason buried long fingers in her hair grasping the back of her head trying to pull her mouth up to his, but she resisted only moving lower. She laid a trail of kisses down the center of his chest and stomach, stopping as his belly button again for a brief time and then moved lower.

Aria could hear the muffled sounds that escaped his throat, as he helplessly began thrusting the growing bulge she had been caressing through his jeans into her hand in a slow rhythm. Aria momentarily stopped her descent downward and sat up looking down at his beautiful face with a seductive and teasing grin then placed a finger against his lips. "Shh." signaling for him to be quiet. In response Jason opened his mouth sucking the digit into his mouth, his tongue caressing it. Aria bit into her lip, damn, she thought, he has a talented tongue feeling herself growing wetter than she already was as she imagined that tongue buried inside her, before reminding herself that she wanted this to be all about him. She pulled her hand away and moved it back to its previous position, but the time she unfastened the opening of his jeans and bent over him following the path of the line separating the ridges of abdominal muscles that formed the eight-pack with gentle bites and kisses moving down until she reached the same area that was still discolored from the other night, sucking the bruised spot into her mouth for just a moment. her hand moved under his loosened jeans, into his boxers grasping his thick cock in her hand, stroking him.

When Jason felt the tip of her tongue stroking the head of his now throbbing dick that was begging for release he sat up straight in a jerky motion and pulled Aria up until she was straddling his lap swiftly and without any warning, she gave a small yelp of surprise. His lips slammed into hers in a deep searching kiss. he could feel that she was wet for him even through the denim material separating him from her. he ground against her and she responded grinding her ass into his throbbing cock. He only pulled his mouth from hers when the need for oxygen became too great. Aria started to pull her t-shirt off, but he stopped her just as she had gotten the cotton material over heaving breast. "We can't Aria, I want this so much, you don't even know how much, but I don't have any protection. Unless," he said in a raspy passion filled voice and looked up at her with desperate green eyes, "do you know if we're safe if we don't use anything?" he said desperation in his voice, "I don't want to stop, but we can't risk it, not until AJ has had time to adjust to me being in his life completely." Neither of them at the time were paying attention to the implication of his words. Words that implied that they were together now and the foreseeable future.

Aria bit her lip in disappointment, it had only been two days since they last had sex, but right now it felt like it had been months or even years her need for him so great. But, she knew he was right and unfortunately, she couldn't guarantee they were safe she told him in a strained voice, her periods still weren't always regular, the doctor had suggested putting her on birth control again the same as the doctor had when she was a teenager to regulate them. At the time, she hadn't been worried about it since she wasn't sexually active and hadn't been in years so she refused them since they hadn't agreed with her before.

With a groan of disappointment Jason buried his face into breast almost spilling over the demi-cup bra. His wasn't even conscious that his tongue had moved beneath the soft cotton material until he was licking a hardening nipple. He grasped the material with shaking hands pulling the cups down to give him access and then he was sucking the turgid flesh into his hungry mouth. In the dimness of the room Aria could barely see what he was doing to her and it drove her crazy along with feelings he was creating in her stomach and in her core, she felt a rush of fluids preparing her for him, her head arched back as a wave of pleasure rocked her body, when he moved to her other breast she had regained some control until he began sucking that nipple and then another shiver of pleasure racked her body.

Jason had felt the now sopping wet material of the denim as she continue to get wetter for him and he loosened the closure of her jeans sliding his hand beneath her panties and one finger moved between he pussy lips, swirling trough the wetness his work roughened hand moving against her sensitive flesh causing her to bite her lip roughly to stifle the loud gasp of pleasure that wanted to spill out, but when his middle finger plunged inside hooking and finding a spot that was particularity sensitive, she couldn't stop it from coming out he mouth opening to let out the pleasured noise. "Oh god Jason," she said in a shaky voice, " I need you so much." she was almost in tears knowing she couldn't have him like she wanted, she grasped his head between her hands pulling his mouth to hers her tongues plunging deep into his mouth kissing him and grinding herself onto his finger and hand and against the erection against her ass.

A moan left Jason's throat and was trapped in her mouth as her movements tormented him driving him crazy then he felt her inner muscles clenching at his middle finger and he added his forefinger and it was all she needed to come apart in his arms, she tore her mouth from his as she gasped for breath and he moved his mouth back to her breast the stimulation causing her body to convulse again her head falling to his shoulder as she sagged against him, her body feeling weak. When she was finally able to raise her head, Jason was kissing her neck and she tilted her head giving him better access.

She reached an arm behind her and found the opened jeans to slide under his boxers taking him into her hand. Jason jerked from her. "Aria, you have to stop."

"Why? Let me take care of you Jason, I want you any way I can have you. Let me have you Jason."

Jason leaned down to kiss her stomach and his teeth sank into the side of her waist sucking the flesh into his mouth trying to regain control of the situation, even as she pumped his length from her awkward position. "Baby I want this so much, but I don't think I'll be able to stop."

With a disappointed sigh, Aria removed her hand and moved off him. leaning down to leave a lingering kiss on the exposed skin right above his enlarged penis. she heard the gasp and she turned her face toward him her breath a heated caress against his flesh. "Are you sure?" she asked rubbing her cheek caressingly against the still covered bulge."

"No." he answered his voice raspy and thin and that was all Aria needed before she released him form the cotton confines of his boxers. She moved to a better angel as Jason pulled himself up against the headboard, wanting to watch her even as he knew he should probably stop this still worried that it wouldn't be enough until he he was inside her.

Aria looked up at the picture he made his torso half sitting up his t-shirt still halfway up his chest and his cock standing up his jeans and boxers just below, leaving his midsection and pelvis area bare and Aria wished she had her camera hand, because she had never seen a sexier vision in her life. she could see he was watching her the only light in the room was from the almost full moon as they hadn't bothered to close the drapes or blinds since they had not meant for any of this to happen. She bent to him taking the head into her mouth her tongue swiping away the droplets that was already seeping out, her eyes squeezed shut as his flavor exploded onto her tongue, fuck, he tasted so good. and that was all the incentive Aria needed to get to work. as she moved her mouth up and down, her tongue wrapping around him sucking him deeper each time until his cock hit her gag reflex. Her hand moved squeezing and manipulating his flesh of his tight balls she could hear the muffled gasps coming from him as she worked.

She sat back to look at him, his head had fallen back back and she could see tell he was biting his lip to keep from making too much noise. his hands grasping the covers in tightly clenched fist, when he noticed she had stopped he lifted his head their eyes meeting, she relaxed her throat and keeping her eyes locked onto his she leaned down and this time she swallowed him. "Fuck!" he said through clenched teeth not expecting her to that.

Aria wanted to laugh, having Mateo in her life apparently was more advantageous that she thought. One night when they had been drinking a little too much a couple years back he had got it into his head that she needed to know how to pleasure her man, if she ever decided to get one again and he had described to teach her how to give head in painstaking detail complete with drawing and a demonstration on a banana that had her cheeks blazing, but now she was glad for that talk because Jason seemed to really enjoy it. She felt one hand fist into her hair and looked up at him the other hand was holding a pillow tight against his mouth trapping moans which in turn excited Aria and then she went wild she came again once he began helplessly thrusting himself into her mouth as he lost control. The pillow buried against his mouth muffling the sounds he was making before the impending orgasm and with a jerk he shot his seed into her mouth and Aria swallowed him down, sucking and licking up every drop.

She licked the corner of her mouth where some had escaped as she adjusted his clothes, giving the ridge of his pelvic bone one last kiss before sitting up to adjust his and her clothing. Jason was still recovering when she climbed up and lay beside him putting her arm around him as she snuggled into his side after she pulled away the pillow he still had buried his face in." Are you okay?" she asked a brow arched in question. Jason could only nod his head a looked of surprise on his face. "Good" she said kissing his jaw and neck, but this time he stopped her before they started making out like horny teenagers uncertain about his self-control.

To try to take his mind off her laying so close to him, he asked her to tell him about her friends and life in St. Louis and what he could expect. As she told him about her home they both grew relaxed and fell asleep in each other's arms neither of them waking until AJ had come running into the room. Jason knew he should get up and head out since he still had a lot to do, but he was relaxed, content just to hold his son and Aria. he caught her smiling at him again as AJ begin to snore lightly and he leaned over kissing her and then for the first time he kissed his son, he couldn't help himself as he kissed the still babyish forehead while he slept. Aria felt tears welling in her eyes as she fell in love with Jason all over again in that moment.
