Not Safe For Work
Chapter 44
The group ate outside, and Elizabeth took the opportunity to show the ladies the grounds. When they came back their number had grown by two. "Look who I found." Elizabeth said pointing to Milo and Georgie. Earlier in the evening Elizabeth had sent a text to Georgie about the gathering, but she had replied that Milo made reservations for them to eat on the waterfront.
"You showed up in time for dessert." Johnny grinned stretching out his legs.
"Perfect timing then." Milo laughed.
"I'm going to go get it." Elizabeth handed Cameron to his father. The little guy was starting to flag a bit.
"I can take him up." Georgie offered.
"You're off the clock." Jason reminded her.
"Live in help is never off the clock." Georgie didn't mind and she got the impression the guys wanted to talk to Milo.
"I will see if Elizabeth needs help." Diane said moving off to the kitchen. She was getting the same vibe. Alexis and Skye didn't even bother to offer explanations they simply walked into the house.
"Our ladies are smart." Shawn observed.
"Something I for one appreciate." Johnny spoke up. "So?" He said looking at Milo.
"I talked to Mac a few days ago." Milo told the guys. "I was trying to open his eyes to the fact that he was hurting Georgie."
"You've been hauled downtown six times in three days." Johnny pointed out to the young guard. They had expected this, but even he was surprised at the number. "Have you told Georgie what her uncle is doing?"
"No." Milo said sitting back in his chair. "I don't want to make the situation worse."
"You need to." Jason instructed. "Diane is already talking about filing a harassment charge against the PCPD. That will make the paper. You don't want Georgie finding out that way."
"She's going to flip." Milo said quietly. "I feel like I've driven a wedge between them, and this might blow their relationship to pieces."
Jason looked at Francis who just shook his head. They had Alcazar and Sorel on one side and Milo and Mac on the other. The only good thing about Milo's situation was that no one saw it getting violent. Aside from Georgie unleashing on her uncle. "She will really go off if you let her get blindsided."
"If you tell her then she's only pissed at Mac." Johnny pointed out the upside. "If you don't tell her then you are in the doghouse too."
"Not to mention the fact that Cooper may tell Maxie, and then she'll tell Georgie." Jason spoke up. "I can only imagine how that version of the tale will go."
Johnny started laughing, he couldn't help it. Since moving back to Port Charles he'd had a few encounters with the eldest Jones sister. She had a flair for the dramatic. "She'll have Mac beating you with a hose."
"I'll talk to Georgie tonight." Milo shuddered knowing Jason was right.
They all stood as the ladies returned. "Skye can I talk with you for a minute?" Jason wanted to know. When she nodded he moved them away from the group.
"Sure thing." Skye wondered if this was about dating his friend. She should have mentioned it before coming over. "If this is about Francis." She started.
"No. You are both adults." Jason told her. "What you do in your personal time is none of my business. I want to talk to you about Deception."
"Okay." Skye responded.
"I now own it, and have no interest in running it. I know that you are currently unemployed, by choice." He added. "I was wondering if you might be ready to come out of retirement. I can't sell you the company for a year, because the will is still in probate but there is nothing to stop me from offering you the CEO position. Next year if you want the company you can buy it."
Skye smiled wide. "I would love to take on the challenge of running an international company. I happen to be fan of Deception's cosmetics anyway. At the moment I'm not looking to own a company so this would be perfect. Next year we can maybe talk about a partnership with an option to buy you out in a few years."
"Conditions?" Jason wanted to know. May as well work everything out now.
"You have to keep it legal." That was all Skye needed.
"Done." Jason had no problem with that. "Salary?"
"I have no idea." She admitted. "I need to find out what other CEO's of cosmetics companies make. Just because you are family doesn't mean I will take less than I deserve."
"Just because you are family doesn't mean I'll pay you a penny more than you are worth." For Jason business was business. "I am looking to be completely hands off so factor that into your salary request, and my condition is that Deception has to be a major contributor to the Nurses' Ball every year." He had watched the hospital scramble for funding this year. Corinthos Morgan wasn't an option because of how they made their money. With Deception's money guaranteed that would prevent that from happening this year.
"I can work with both those conditions." Skye liked that Jason was being philanthropic. "So do I contact you with my salary request?"
"Diane." Jason told his sister. "Let's head back to the table." The guys got to their feet until Skye was seated. "Diane, Skye is going to contact you with a salary request. I offered her the CEO position at Deception."
"I will make sure you have my contact information before we leave. Congratulations." Diane figured she couldn't be any worse than Carly. The colors in her spring line were dreadful.
A new job and a new boyfriend. Skye was applauding her decision to move to Port Charles.
Emily was sitting on the launch on her way back to the mansion trying to figure out just what she was going to do about her boyfriend. Nikolas had been distant since they returned from Europe and tonight had been the worse night yet. Not only had he been unwilling to engage with her, but he'd been surly and snippy when they did talk. Even Stefan ended up calling Nik out on his rudeness.
When she finally decided to leave for the evening he didn't even walk her to the launch, but simply said goodnight at the front door. Emily knew what was at the root of his anger. Lucky. More specifically her pushing Lucky to try to get back with Elizabeth. That action was having more repercussions than she would have ever imagined. She had pretty much lost Elizabeth, and now it looked like she was losing Nikolas as well. For the first time ever Emily wished that Lucky had stayed dead.
It was another choice by her that had them back in Port Charles. She was the one who insisted on returning for Carly's funeral. Wanting to be there for her brother. Not that Jason asked her to come home, in fact he had stated that she should stay in Europe. But Emily didn't listen, not even when Nikolas said the same thing. She had insisted on being here, so they had come home.
At least one good thing had come out of this. Emily had a new friend, although she really did need to get to the root of the sleeping with the boyfriend issue. If Sarah did sleep with Liz's boyfriend then she could understand why her new sister in-law would be upset. But considering that was years ago Elizabeth should try talking to Sarah, if nothing else so that her sister could apologize.
"Ms. Quartermaine, we're here." The launch captain announced.
"Thank you." Emily said getting off the boat. She was walking to her car when she looked over and smiled. "Didn't we do this earlier? I thought you had plans."
"They fell through." Sarah said in greeting. "Where are you headed?"
"Home. Nikolas is busy." Emily lied.
Sarah thought guilty was probably closer to the mark. She just bet that guilt wouldn't be enough to keep him from sniffing around her. "Too bad. I was going to Kelly's wanna come?"
"Sure." Emily said smiling. Her night was looking up. They got their drinks and took a seat. "Can I ask you a personal question?"
"Sure." Sarah said putting down her coffee.
"Elizabeth said that you slept with her boyfriend? Is that true?" Emily figured there was no point in hedging.
"No." Sarah flat out lied. "I did kiss him, but he was the one who told Lizzie we slept together trying to get back at me. He wanted to, but I stopped after the kiss. Which I fully acknowledged shouldn't have happened. She refused to accept my apology, and not too long after that moved out of the house."
"Have you tried again?" Emily wanted to know. She could understand how that would have hurt, but nine years seemed a long time to be angry about a kiss.
"Lizzie won't take my calls." Sarah shrugged trying to make it seemed like she was pretending that didn't hurt.
"She knows you are here. Nikolas told her this morning after the funeral." Emily passed along.
"I saw her on the television." Sarah told Emily. "So does this mean we can't be friends anymore? I know you were her friend first."
"Of course we can still be friends. I'm capable of making up my own mind." Emily told Sarah. "I'm not going to try to get Elizabeth to talk to you though. I want to keep her in my life, she is my sister in-law and my friend too. So it would be best if I stayed out of what is between you two."
"That's probably for the best." Sarah smiled wide. She wasn't looking to have peace brokered anyway. However she would love to bust up Emily and Lizzie's friendship. "So since it's not that late why don't we go catch a movie?"
"Sounds like fun. You should come out to the mansion sometime." Emily extended the invitation.
"Thanks, but I think I'll pass. Your parents are my bosses, and I don't want it to look like I'm sucking up." Sarah said laughing. "Having you as my friend, and being associated with the Quartermaine family because my sister is married to your brother is enough."
"I do have my own space, but I understand what you mean. I'm going to be facing the same battle when I join the program. Maybe you'll be able to give me some tips." Emily suggested.
"And the inside track on some surgeries since I'll be a fourth year resident by then." Sarah said making it look like she was taking care of her friend. "So what do you want to see?"
Emily looked at the marquee and made a choice. In the back of her mind she was thinking that it was too bad that Liz didn't know this Sarah. Because this Sarah was really nice.
"That was a lot of fun." Elizabeth said as they waved to their departing guests.
"It was." Jason agreed placing a hand on the small of her back as they walked back into the house. "I wouldn't mind doing it again."
"Jason Morgan are you saying that you are willing to socialize?" Elizabeth said in mock surprise.
"That wasn't socializing, that was having friends over for dinner. I'm in blue jeans, and I'm pretty sure you can't socialize in denim." He grinned knowing he was being silly. "That was pretty much everyone we wanted to invite to our housewarming."
"Except Nikolas and Emily." Elizabeth noted. "I'll call your sister tomorrow and see if they want to come out."
"Let me know what she says." Jason locked the front door and set the alarm. They walked upstairs hand in hand stopping to check on Cameron before heading to the master suite. "Can I ask you something?"
"Sure." Elizabeth watched as Jason flopped back on the bed.
"If everyone around us was doing their best to make sure we stayed apart, would that make you want me more?" He was trying to get a handle on the Sorel/Alcazar situation. If maybe Diego and Angel were just attracted to the forbidden.
"Carly did try to keep us apart, until it suited her agenda." Elizabeth pointed out.
"She did." Jason realized it didn't hurt to think about the dead woman. "So did that make me more attractive? Did the fact that it would piss her off, add to my allure?"
"Nope." Elizabeth came over and sat beside him. "I wanted you because you're you and I'm smart." She said smiling.
"Also because of my bike." He reminded her laughing when she nodded. "Diego Alcazar and Angel Sorel are sneaking around with one another and their parents don't like it. Well, her father doesn't like it." To Jason it sounded like Lorenzo didn't care. Which made him wonder if the South American mob boss was urging his son on.
"Are you worried this will spark violence?" Elizabeth asked placing her head on his shoulder.
"A little. Maximus is already involved, and tomorrow I need to make a call about this situation. If things go south I may need you to leave Port Charles for a while. Francis would go with you, as well as some other guards. I may need your help in getting Georgie to leave." Jason wanted a plan in place.
"I won't argue if you say I have to go." Elizabeth wouldn't stress him further in that situation.
"Thank you." Jason just relaxed having his wife so close.
"Jason?" Elizabeth looked up at him.
"Yes?" He said turning to face her.
"Thank you, for that night at Jake's." Elizabeth said softly. "For not leaving when I said I didn't need your help. I did need it." She admitted. "You kept me safe, and I want you to know I appreciate that now, even if I didn't then."
He rolled them so she was on her back and he was over her. "I intervened because you were Lucky's girl. I saw how his death hurt you, but by the time we sat down to talk I was there because I wanted to be. I thought you were beautiful that night, and lying with you here tonight I still think it."
Elizabeth smiled up at him and when his lips covered hers she wrapped her arms around his neck to bring him closer. That night they had begun to build the feelings that lead him to being here with her tonight. The death of the boy she thought she had loved, had led to her finding the extraordinary man she have given her heart to.
Jason made quick work of her shirt and bra almost desperate to feel her soft skin. When she was bared to him he lifted his head and simply looked at her. This amazingly strong woman was his to love for the rest of his life. That night he had gotten a glimpse of the woman she would become. The strong woman who was capable of handling whatever life threw at her. Even when she thought she was dying Elizabeth hadn't curled up in a ball and cried. She had determined to give her little boy the best of her while she could. And she had let him stand beside her. It still left him in awe.
She opened her eyes and he saw love, trust, and desire. The same thing his gaze revealed to her. Dipping his head he took an already hard nipple deep into his mouth and when she moaned he did as well.
"Jason." She said softly arching to get further, tightening her fingers in his hair to keep him close. She whimpered in pleasure as his mouth moved to suck on her second nipple.
His fingers shook as he opened her pants and pushed his hand inside her panties. The moisture that coated his fingers had him moaning again. "I need you."
"I need you too." Elizabeth panted out reaching for his belt. Tugging when the leather wouldn't open. "Hurry."
"Yeah." Jason was feeling the urgency to mate. He quickly got undressed while she did the same and they came together again with seeking hands and desperate kisses. She opened for him and he pushed his throbbing cock inside her waiting body. "I will love you until I take my last breath." He promised starting to stroke coming to rest deep inside her body with every flex of his hips.
"You will always be mine." Elizabeth said before talking became impossible. She couldn't focus on anything but his body moving inside hers, filling her up, and bringing her joy.
She fell first just as she felt him swell and burst, coating her with himself and marking her in the most primal way possible. Jason came on a shout giving her everything he had. After they lay silently, wrapped around one another simply grateful to be together.
Thanks for the reviews!
