Chapter 54 – Quiet before the Storm

Jason and Elizabeth went into their room and he locked the door.

"Are you trying to keep me in or keep them out?"

Jason smirked. "Maybe both."

Liz grinned. "Are you tired?" She asked already knowing the answer.

He shook his head no. This was their last night and there was no way in hell he was ready to fall asleep. "But I plan on being tired in about a half hour."

Liz smiled. "And how do you plan on tiring yourself out?"

His eyes flickered with want as he strode towards her. "I can either tell you or show you."

She bit her lip. "How about a little of both?"

She loved when Jason was demanding. Everything about him was a turn on.

"Take off your clothes." He said barely above a whisper.

Slowly, she slipped out of her dress and kicked off her shoes. Her eyes never left his as she unhooked her bra and let it fall to the ground. And when she finally pulled off her thong Jason raked his eyes up and down her body before licking his lips. "Get on the bed." He demanded in a low voice.

Elizabeth sat down and Jason peeled off his shirt and took off his shoes and socks. He moved in between her legs and took her hands and placed them on his belt. Liz unbuckled it and then unzipped his zipper. As his pants fell to the floor she tugged on his briefs and pulled them down.

"Touch me."

Elizabeth stared at his semi-hard erection and licked her lips which made Jason have to stifle a moan. She grabbed onto him and slowly started to stroke him.

Jason closed his eyes and relished how good her small hands felt wrapped around his girth. Looking down at her, he saw her lick her lips again and he decided to turn it up a notch wondering how she would respond. "Do you want to suck my cock Elizabeth?"

Elizabeth shivered. "Yes."

"Then put me in your mouth." He said deliberately, emphasizing every word.

Elizabeth sucked on his head and Jason let out a hiss. Her tongue felt so fucking good. And then her mouth was sucking him and he fisted her hair as his hips surged forward. Elizabeth took it in stride so he began to slowly pump in and out of her mouth. He moaned her name as his thrusts became harder.

Liz loved the noises Jason was emitting. She loved that she could give him so much pleasure.

Jason suddenly stopped thrusting, knowing he was close, but Liz continued to pump and suck him.

"Elizabeth, you have to stop." He said, knowing he couldn't hold on much longer.

When she didn't respond, he gave up and began to thrust again. "I'm going to cum." He said between ragged breaths.

Surging forward, he erupted as he panted loudly and moaned her name. Elizabeth swallowed every drop as she continued to suck him dry. Jason was reeling. He finally barked out a command. "Get on your knees."

Liz pulled back and climbed onto the bed and got on her knees. Her legs were trembling with anticipation.

"Are you ready for me baby?"

"Yes, Jason please…."

"Let's make sure."

She felt him open her legs wider and then his finger entered her and she rocked into it. And as she got more and more into it, he added another one and Elizabeth moaned his name loudly; ready for more.

"I'm going to fuck you so hard." He growled.

"Oh God, yes. Fuck me hard Jason." She begged.

Jason's lined himself up and fully penetrated her. Liz screamed his name as he started to ram in and out of her over and over.

"Yes." She yelled as he brushed up against her g-spot. Her body quaked with each thrust and it felt so damn good.

Jason was relentless. He wasn't even close to coming. Elizabeth's arms collapsed and her head fell into the bed and he never missed a thrust. She screamed as her first orgasm took her by surprise; shaking her to her core. Jason kept going and several minutes later, her walls tightened around his cock again and that was the end of the ride. He yelled out her name and erupted inside of her as they both succumbed to the immense pleasure.

Nikolas sat at his desk swirling the last of his brandy. Helena breezed into the room.

"I hear that you're in an insufferable mood today."

"So, you figured you come make it worse?"

Helena smirked. "You look so much like your father when you are morose. It reminds me of wonderful times."

Nikolas rolled his eyes.

"Why are you so melancholy Nikolas?"

He just stared at her.

"Please tell me it's not because of that little twit."

Nikolas sneered and threw his glass across the room. It hit the wall and shattered. "Don't even mention that bitch's name in my presence." He spat.

Helena was stunned. "What happened?"

"I don't want to talk about it. I'm done with her and I'm certainly not discussing my love life with you."

Helena fought the urge to smirk. "She was never good enough for you."

"Clearly." He said sarcastically.

"I need your help." She said deciding to test him.

"What now?" He asked pouring himself anther drink. He'd have to apologize to Alfred about the mess later.

"I need you to deliver a message tomorrow night to Lila Quartermaine."

Nikolas's eyebrows raised. "What kind of message?"

"I want you to slip her a note at the hospital. I know she has an appointment tomorrow afternoon."

"Why are you so obsessed with her?" Nikolas asked honestly wanting to know.

Helena looked at a glass. "Pour me a drink."

Nikolas nodded and handed her the glass.

Helena took a swig and began to speak. "When I was younger, I met Mikkos and fell head over heels in love. He was powerful, arrogant, and a tad bit crazy."

Nikolas smirked at her understatement.

"Lila visited the islands with her father one summer. Hal was doing business and had a meeting with Mikkos and he brought her along." She said making a face. "I didn't like her as soon as I saw her. But Mikkos was intrigued and decided that he wanted her. Man stealing bitch." Helena spat. "Anyway, I sabotaged her in every way that I could trying to keep them apart. There was no way I was going to let her take everything that I had worked so hard to get."

Nikolas shook his head. "You are a force to be reckoned with."

"Oh, you have no idea. If she only knew what I have done to her in the last few years, she would probably want to end my life. But, she'll never find out."

Nikolas was intrigued and knew he would have to try to get her to tell him what she did when he got in a little closer. "I'm sure you had your reasons for doing what you did."

Helena's eyebrow rose. "I figured you'd be on her side."

"Why? What has Lila Quartermaine done for me? Besides, you've caught me in an insufferable mood." He said downing the rest of the liquid. "What do you want me to do?"

Helena smiled and filled him in.

Manny collapsed next to Kelly. Making love to her was raw and unbridled and he loved every minute of it.

"I'm scared." She said softly.

He looked down at her. "Why nena?"

"Because I'm going to be alone and you're walking into a war zone basically."

He brushed a lock of hair out of her face. "Why don't you stay with Elizabeth while I'm gone? She'll be alone too and she probably wouldn't mind."

"I'll ask her."

"And as far as the danger goes. You're going to just have to trust me. I'm really good at what I do."

"I know. I just don't want to lose you."

"Kelly, I've been waiting for you all of my life. It would take an act of God to tear me away from you." He said before kissing her softly.

She didn't know what she did to deserve this man but his love for her was healing her soul. And as she lost herself in the kiss, she hoped there would be many more to come.

Lorenzo brushed Skye's hair.

"That feels so good." She said as the bristles brushed lightly against her scalp.

"Just what are you going to make me do tomorrow?"

Skye grinned. "Are you still worrying about that?"

"Hell yeah. I don't have to wear makeup do I?"

"And what if you did? Would it be so bad?"

Lorenzo made a face. "Uh, yes."

"Why? It comes right off?"

"I have a reputation."

"Not after tomorrow you won't." She said playfully.

Lorenzo smirked. "You think you're so funny don't you?"

She nodded and grabbed her and picked her up off the chaise and put her on the bed as she squealed.

"Did I hurt you?"

She chuckled. "No, I won't break Lorenzo."

He stared into her beautiful eyes. "You're intoxicating. Do you know that?"

Skye gave him a sultry look. "Enough to get you to wear makeup?"

Lorenzo growled. "Skye….."

She laughed and then brushed her hand against his rising erection. "Let me show you just how appreciative I'll be if you do whatever Jamie wants tomorrow."

He grinned. "You're blackmailing me with sex?"

She frowned. "You don't have to make it sound so tawdry especially when it's mutually beneficial."

He chuckled and then groaned as she reached inside his pants and pumped him up and down. "Fine." He said before kissing her senseless. They made passionate love before falling into a contented sleep.

Robin studied the last test results that the doctors had compiled. She had no idea how she was going to figure out the last piece of the puzzle. It was just so complex. She knew she needed to bide her time; that if she could just get another step closer, Helena would believe she could do it and keep her around. Liesl was of no help thus far. All she did was piss Robin off. She sat back and closed her eyes and then looked at the cot in the corner of the room and groaned. "God I miss my bed." She said softly. She wondered if Nikolas believed that she would just up and leave like that. And then her thoughts went to Mac. He must be going crazy.

She needed a plan. At the very least, she needed to compile something that would take Liesl out. Escaping would be difficult because she didn't have the elevator key. But, knowing Helena, there had to be another way out. She looked at the camera that was trained on her. That would be another problem. Frowning she rubbed her face with her hands. She felt like a trapped rat. "What would mom do?" She muttered and then smiled. "The first step is to know your enemy." That is where she would start.
