Chapter 37

Elizabeth missed waking up in Jason's arms. For months she'd lay in bed and think about those nights, as few as they were, and longed to wake up that way again. He had one hand held over her head against the pillows with her hand firmly in his grip. His other hand was resting on her stomach. She could feel his breath on her neck and she smiled when she felt his lips press a gentle kiss on her bare shoulder.

"Mmmm, you're awake?" Elizabeth whispered.

"Mmm hmmm." He hummed into her shoulder and slid his hand from her stomach to trace a path along her side, over her hip to her thigh and back again.

A shiver ran through her and she rolled over to face him. She pulled her hand from his and brought it between their bodies to rest on his chest, her other hand sat low on his hip rubbing gentle circles. "I missed you." She whispered.

Jason brushed her hair from her face with his index finger and tucked it securely behind her ear. "You may not believe me but I have missed you since I woke up."

Her eyes smiled and she placed a quick kiss on his lips. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner… sorry how things turned out." She said with a sigh.

Jason nodded, "Me too." He said, placing his hand over her stomach. "Do… do you know if it's a boy or girl?"

Elizabeth shook her head, "I was waiting for you so we can find out together… if you want to."

"Do you want to know?"

"I like the idea of it being a surprise." She answered with a smile.

"Me too." He said, his thumb tracing lazy circles on her belly. His lips curved up in a smile.

"What?"

He shook his head, "I can't believe you have been living here with all the guys."

She laughed, "Well Spinelli was already up here. You know that. He called me right after your accident and it was actually nice to have someone around that knew everything that was going on. After that Johnny came up, then when you woke up Francis and Jimmy came up and then when I insisted on testifying Johnny freaked out and called in the rest of the guys."

"Yea and they have left the island severely short staffed."

"They can all go home now that I have you." She said and kissed him again.

"Some of them can. We still have some things up here that need to be worked out before Francis, Johnny and Spinelli head back."

Elizabeth nodded and moved her hand from his hip to trace a path up his spine to the back of his neck. "So… what do we do now?"

"What do we do?" he asked, scooting his body flush against hers.

"I don't know, us, the baby… everything."

Jason shrugged, "I don't care as long as I'm with you."

She smiled at his words and her face slightly blushed. "There is going to be a lot of people that have a lot to say about us being together."

"Like who?" He asked but quickly added, "I don't care."

"Like Sam, Carly, Sonny, Audrey… Emily."

"Things aren't good between you and Emily are they?" he asked and slid his hand over her waist to rest it on the small of her back.

She nodded, "Jason, a lot was said, I don't think we can ever go back. She was so angry with me and not supportive… I don't know. She is your sister and it isn't fair for me to burden you with our problems."

"I know what she said and did… and I told her that she was wrong."

Elizabeth shrugged as tears pooled in her eyes, "It doesn't matter."

Jason's hand left her back and he placed his index finger under her chin, lifting her eyes to his, "Don't worry about Emily… or anyone else. I'm here and I'm not going anywhere."

"Neither am I." She croaked and buried her face in his chest. After a long time passed she tipped her head back, "Does that mean you still want this? Us?"

Jason nodded, "If that's what you want."

Elizabeth slid her leg over his and smiled, "Do you think I would have done all of this if I didn't" she teased. "I've been living in testosterone hell."

"Somehow I have the feeling that you could hold your own against any of the guys." He said, sliding his hand gently down her neck to cup her full breast. Her eyes closed and she let out a soft sigh when his thumb and index finger began gently rolling the pert peak. "What about me?" he asked in a hoarse voice.

Her eyes narrowed, "What do you mean?" she managed to ask. The teasing of his fingers were already causing the familiar ache between her legs.

He gently kissed her cheek and her forehead, "Can you hold your own with me… because six months is a long time and there is a lot of time that we need to make up for."

Her eyes met his passion filled gaze as he rolled her onto her back and slid on top of her, supporting his weight on his elbows. "I can try." She answered and pulled her bottom lip between her teeth.

Jason moved all of his weight onto one arm and traced his index finger down her neck, over her collar bone, through the valley between her breasts, over her stomach, finally coming to her center where he ever so softly traced her. He smiled at her, satisfied that she was already aroused. In one swift movement, he removed his hand from between her legs and careful not to put any unnecessary weight on her, he lined himself with her center and slid his rock hard erection as far as her body and their position would allow.

"Jasonnnnn." She moaned, not expecting the move. She reached to wrap her arms around him but before she could he withdrew completely from her center. Her eyes fluttered open and she found him looking down at her with a devious smile. Her hips rocked toward him but he stopped her, instead leaning in to kiss her. The kiss was raw and rough, emitting moans from them both before he pulled back, roughly biting down on her lower lip then soothing it with a swipe of his tongue. He trailed down her neck and chest, nipping and licking every inch of skin he could until his mouth came in contact with the peak he'd teased earlier. Elizabeth was trembling in anticipation and he did not disappoint. He took the pebbled peak into his mouth, sucking, kissing and nipping until she slid her hands through his short hair and roughly tugged. After paying equal attention to the twin, he continued his path down her body, peppering kisses across her stomach. The trembling returned as he came closer and closer to the spot she needed his attention the most.

He shifted and brought himself between her legs, lifting them over his shoulders. She was now trembling uncontrollably, her body already anticipating and needing the release that she knew was so close. After placing open mouthed kisses on the inside of each of her thighs, she dug her heels into his back pulling his mouth closer to her aching center. His tongue gently flicked over the sensitive bead and it sent an incredible burning wave from her fingertips to her toes. She swore his name and his mouth immediately began devouring her, until he heard her breathing quicken as her orgasm began to build. He slowed until her body came down and built her up again. He repeated it over and over again until she was begging him. The ache she felt was unbearable. Finally, he built her up one last time and buried two fingers into her center, moving in rhythm with his mouth. The explosion that she felt in her body was unlike any orgasm she'd every had before. His name echoed through the room as she moaned it. Her body arched off the bed as the waves rolled through her for what seemed like forever. When they finally began to subside, he kissed the inside of her thighs one last time and released her legs from his shoulders.

Elizabeth fell back on the mattress in a haze. Her ears were ringing and her entire body limp. "Wow" was all she could manage to get out. Jason wasted no time and kept himself between her thighs. He sat up and pulled her hips off the bed so they were resting over his thighs. Her eyes finally opened and met his as he gripped her hips and agonizingly slowly slid inside her. Still barely able to move, Elizabeth reached for his arm and pulled herself up. From her new position straddling his thighs, she had control. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and began to slowly move her body over him. Jason, however had other ideas and wrapped his arm around her back, scooting to the top of the bed so that her back rested against the headboard. Using the headboard as support, he regained control and increased their pace. Taking her hands in his, he planted them on the wall above the headboard. His lips found hers again, drinking each others moans. Elizabeth met him with each thrust and quickly they were moaning each others names as they both went over the edge together.

Jason rolled them back onto the bed and tucked a very exhausted Elizabeth into his side. "Maybe I need to practice to keep up with you… but… yea, lots of practice." She mumbled in a sleepy haze before dozing off. Jason smiled, happy to comply and within a few minutes was asleep himself.
