Chapter 37 – Long Night

It was a long night. Jason was in and out of consciousness and Elizabeth did the best she could to make him comfortable. She was exhausted and finally drifted off to sleep about 4 a.m.

A few hours later, Jason woke up suddenly. His eyes finally focused and that is when he felt the dull ache in his body. He didn't feel as hot as he did the night before, but he could tell he didn't have a whole lot of energy. Sitting up, he swung his legs over the side of the bed and then tried to gather himself.

Johnny was in the hallway and pushed the door open. "You need help?" He asked.

Jason looked up at him and nodded realizing that Johnny must have taken the day shift.

Johnny pulled him into a standing position and helped him to the bathroom. "Don't fall in." He said before closing the door.

He went to the bathroom and then went to the sink and brushed his teeth. Leaning on the counter, he was trying to will himself to move when the door pushed open.

"What are you doing?"

Jason looked over her. "Trying to make my feet move."

Liz sighed and walked over to him. "Come on, let's get you back in bed."

"Johnny could have helped me. You didn't have to get up."

"I'm fine. I'll nap with you throughout the day."

They slowly walked back to the bed and she got him situated. She put the thermometer in his mouth and then Johnny walked through the doorway.

"Here's some Gatorade and some hot chocolate."

Liz smiled. "Thanks Johnny."

She held back the urge to tease him about Robin. Johnny looked tired and she figured he hadn't got a lot of sleep last night.

Taking the thermometer out, she looked at it and smiled. "You're down to 99. Drink up." Liz said handing Jason the bottle of Gatorade.

Jason took a big swig before handing it back.

Liz ran to use the bathroom before sitting back down and sipping her hot chocolate.

"Good?"

She smiled. "Really good. How are you feeling?"

"Like a mac truck hit me."

She handed him an antibiotic pill and he swallowed it down.

"I probably should change your bandage. I watched Monica a few times so I think I have it down."

After retrieving the first aid box, she gently cleaned his wound and patched him back up. It was actually starting to heal nicely.

She went downstairs and got a big bowl from the kitchen and took it back upstairs and filled it up before placing it on the nightstand. "It's time for your sponge bath." She said smiling.

"Perhaps you should lock the door." Jason said smiling.

Liz chuckled. She went got a new pair of briefs out the drawer and then locked the door as he suggested.

He watched her take his underwear off with a smirk on her face. She was by the far the sexiest woman he had ever met and she didn't even know it.

Lovingly, she wiped him down and when she stopped to look below the waist, she chuckled. "Someone is wide awake."

"You really didn't expect that he would stay asleep when you have your hands all over me, did you?"

"Maybe I should have had Johnny give you the sponge bath."

Jason's eyes seemed to get darker for a second. "Johnny is not going anywhere near that area."

Liz chuckled as she wiped down his erection eliciting a soft moan from Jason. "What are we going to do about your big problem?"

"I think I would feel much better if he felt better."

"Hmmm, I think "he" needs a name."

"The Punisher? Liz's Happy Stick?"

Liz laughed loudly. "Too funny. I was thinking along the lines of little Jay."

"Little?"

Liz grinned. "Okay, big Jay."

"Enormous Jay."

"You just have jokes today."

"I wasn't joking." Jason said trying not to smile."

"How would I explain to your mother that your stitches opened up because I was riding Enormous Jay all morning?"

"She doesn't need to know anything about EJ."

Liz chuckled. "God I love you."

Jason smiled. "I love you too. But seriously, we do need to something about EJ."

Liz smirked. "I could use my hand."

"Or…." He said with a devilish look in his eyes.

Liz licked her lips. "Or you could just go back to sleep."

She purposely tightened her grip on his cock and Jason growled. "Tell me what you want Jason." She said with a sultry air.

"I want to be inside of you."

"That can't happen right now. I want to hear you ask for it."

They stared at each other for a moment. Elizabeth pumped him one time and Jason lost his focus.

"Say it."

Jason's look went from tortured to dark. "Put me in your mouth Elizabeth—now." He demanded intensely.

A jolt ran through her body. "As you wish."

Jason sat up a little bit more and then Elizabeth's mouth descended on his aching cock and he groaned loudly. All it took was a few licks and sucks and he was already starting to lose his composure. "Feels so good baby."

And then she slowly started to swallow and Jason's hips rose off the bed. "Fuck." He muttered as she alternated between deep throating him and pumping him. "Oh God Elizabeth." He yelled. "I'm going to cum."

She sucked him down her throat again and Jason exploded as she swallowed everything. And then she licked and sucked him a few more times until he was completely spent.

He looked at her with hooded eyes as she washed his sensitive dick. "I'll make it up to you tonight."

Liz smiled. "Well, I won't hold you to that. But, eventually, you will make it up to me and I'm really looking forward to it." She said standing up and grabbing the bowl.

She came back into the room. "I think I need a cold shower now."

"Or, you can come sit next to me. My hand still works."

"Jason, I know that just exhausted you."

He shook his head. "Take your clothes off and get over here."

Elizabeth sighed and then did as he asked. She climbed on the bed on her knees and then kissed him as she felt his hand reach between her legs. When his fingers finally made contact, she moaned into his mouth as his fingers slipped into her wetness. She rode them as his thumb circled her throbbing clit. It didn't take long for her to fall off the edge and as Jason watched her call out his name he could only think how beautiful she looked when she came. He pulled her down next to him and they both fell asleep for a few more hours.

Francis took a sip of coffee as he watched Ava go into a restaurant. He wanted badly to follow her inside, but he didn't want to get caught.

"Yeah?"

"I'm here, two cars ahead of you."

Francis smirked. "She's in the restaurant. You follow her and I'll stay here and wait to see who she was meeting with."

"You got it." Sean said settling back in his seat. When Francis offered him some cash on the side to accompany him, he jumped at the chance. He had been working freelance for quite a while. But, it was nice staying in the same place to work when he was so used to travelling a lot. Turning on the radio, he found a jazz station and then turned to watch the entrance. One way or another, they needed answers. Let the games begin.

Liz came around the corner from the kitchen and grinned when she saw Robin walk inside. "Somebody looks like they were rode hard."

Robin smirked. "I think I threw out my back out a little. Maybe I should have stretched."

Liz laughed. "It's about time you got some action."

"How's Jason?" She asked.

"He's doing much better. His temp is almost back to normal. I just have to keep him in bed so he gets his rest."

Robin lifted her eyebrows a few times making Liz giggle. "I'm sure you'll figure something out."

"Already did this morning." She said with a smirk.

"Elizabeth Giambetti. That poor man is injured and you took advantage of him?" She said pretending to be outraged.

"He started it."

Robin laughed. "We're both sex addicts."

"It's their faults too. If Jason wasn't so damn hot and sexy all the time…."

"Well, you and hunky dunky will just have to make up for it once his leg heals." Robin said smiling.

A loud bang came from upstairs and they both looked at each other and then rushed upstairs. Jason was leaning up against the wall trying to catch his breath.

"Jason." Liz yelled running to his side. "What happened?"

"I tripped."

"Did you fall?" Robin asked going to his other side.

"No, but that hurt really badly."

They both helped support his weight and got him back into bed. Robin took off the bandage and checked his stitches. "You pulled at them a little bit but I don't think you did any major damage." She cleaned it and re-dressed it."

"Thank you Robin." Elizabeth said.

"I'll wait for you downstairs." Robin said standing up. She made it to the door and then turned around. "By the way Jason…."

He looked over at her. "Yes."

"Nice six pack."

Liz grinned and Robin shut the door.

"She's just as bad as you."

"Who do you think I learned it from?"

"I highly doubt that."

Liz chuckled. "If I had my way, everyone would know about your six pack, because you would only be allowed to walk around shirtless."

Jason smirked. "That could get a little cold in the winter."

"I'd just have to warm you up."

Jason eyes flickered with want.

"Down boy, I have company and you are in no condition to fuck me senseless."

Jason growled. "You're killing me."

"You digest that while I go talk to Robin."

"Evil." He muttered as he watched her walk away.

Johnny went upstairs. "Spinelli will be here in an hour."

Jason nodded. "Just send him up here when he arrives."

"You got it." Johnny said shifting his weight as he stood in the doorway. "You know they are down their gossiping about us right now, right?"

Jason smirked. "Probably, hope you lived up to the hype last night."

Johnny chuckled. "I have no problem with the hype. Once you're up to it, I thought about maybe renting a cabin or something and getting the girls out of town for a few days."

Jason nodded. "That would be nice. We actually have one. I could have someone stock it up for us."

Johnny smiled. "Sounds good."

"Johnny, we really need to be cautious. I'm not sure what Ava is up to right now and I don't want to be blindsided."

"Is that what Spinelli is helping out with it?"

"Yes, I had him to do some digging so I knew who we were dealing with."

Johnny nodded.

"Once we figure out her plan, we'll do whatever is necessary to deal with her."

"What about Sonny?"

"Fuck Sonny. It's his fault we're dealing with this mess."

Johnny hadn't realized how bad things were between Jason and Sonny.

"I have a feeling after this is all said and done, that I'll either be running things or I'll no longer be with the organization."

"It's that bad?"

"Yes, I'm done with Sonny. He's a joke anyway. No one respects him. They are just afraid of me."

"Well, let me know how I can help. I have your back."

"Thank you. I'm glad that we've become friends Johnny."

"Me too. You're alright." Johnny said trying to act nonchalant.

Jason smiled. "Good to know."
