Luis Torres was a liability; a liability that needed to be taken care of. Since the day the organization hired him, he had been nothing but trouble. His first mistake was leaving Harborview Towers open to an intruder to then deciding to working for Anthony Zacchara, which led to his final mistake of shooting Ally Lynn.

Ally, the common denominator is all this. She was hurt every time Luis when he made a decision that wasn't for the organization. Whether it was the time that Johnny almost raped her, or when Anthony took her from her bedroom, leading up to her shooting. Simply just thinking about the events caused Jason's blood to boil.

The plan the enforcer has set into motion over two weeks ago has been halted due to the man's health. Along with learning the fact that Lucky and Mac were going to transfer Luis from the hospital to the station. He was beyond pissed when Max gave him the information, but Jason knew he would get another chance at taking Luis out. He would stand trial and be sentenced to Pentonville. That would be the place Luis would meet his maker.

Right now the thought of Luis was furthest from his mind. He had to be if Jason was ever going to finish the paper work that laid in front of him. It was document and document of what he never thought he would looking at. But the events prior, led to him about to sign his name staking claim to new property in Port Charles.

Jason leaned back into his chair and closed his eyes. Over two months ago his life changed and it wasn't just his life that had been effected either. One decision had disrupted the course of everyone's lives. Spinelli took a job that brought a stranger into Jason's life. He didn't know it then, but the moment he saw her, he felt something he didn't want to admit. Admitting to feeling anything for that stranger meant that he had to actually let go of Sam. Not all the way, but enough to let another person in.

Each day that went by, Jason found that person he was just suppose to protect, helped him heal for a heartache he never thought he could. She always thanked him for all the he did for her, but it wasn't till this moment that he realized that Ally did a lot for him as well. The danger that happened while he protected her seemed to draw them closer and faster than the other expected.

When the danger got so bad that it almost came at the cost of losing his best friend, it wasn't anger that coursed through his body, but worry. He opened himself to people that he usually kept at arms length. Relationships with people grew a little bit and in that moment he was okay with it.

In the end of all the hurt and danger, Jason not only realized that he cared about people that he never would otherwise admit to. He also discovered love in all this. Love that he didn't know if he could ever feel again. He didn't know if he would ever feel again. He didn't think he was capable of that feeling once more. When he opened the door of his penthouse that afternoon and found Ally...he didn't know he would fall in love with her. She may have brought his protection but she turned out to be a light in his world. A light that shown very bright in the darkness that was his world.

Jason rubbed his face, snapping back to reality. The documents stared back at him. Taunting at the fact he hadn't even gotten back the first page. He had been looking through them for hours. They were what he needed to sight to fully take over the Zacchara territory. He figured there would be an actual war between the bosses, but they all came to Sonny and Jason, agreeing that it was only right for them to have it. Anthony was eliminated by their organization.

With the new territory also came newly found respect. Even Jason seemed to experience a great deal of respect from all the men as well. He didn't exactly know why, but he linked it to the fact he was now in a relationship with Johnny Zacchara's ex. He didn't understand why being with Ally brought forth anything, but what he did learn was Ally's name held more power than he ever thought. With all that, he wondered if her role in the business was more than she ever let on.

He sighed once his gaze fell onto the documents once more. He closed his eyes knowing what he had to do. He reluctantly picked up the phone, dialing the number to the only person that could help him with all the finer points of the work in front of him.

"Hey, it's Jason..." He paused waiting for a response. "Yes...I know it's your day off." He took a deep breath as the person spoke again. "I don't care to know about your plans with or without Max," he commented rolling his eyes. "Diane...stop!" he begged. "Okay, I'll just drop the papers off at your place." He was about to hang up when her words echoed through the receiver. "Yes, of course I'll pay you double, just please no more details about you and Max."

The enforcer shuttered slamming down the phone. He quickly gathered together the papers on his desk, placing them in a manila envelope. He made sure the guards knew he was leaving, before he locked up the office and headed towards Diane's.

All the way to his lawyer's place, he prayed that what was going on at her house that it would stay behind closed doors. Diane always talked too much about her personal life. He wondered if sometimes she did it on purpose to get him to pay her extra money just to stop talking.

Upon pulling up to the red-head's house, Jason left his vehicle running while he ran to the front door. He knocked loudly waiting for the door to open. He heard voices, but could tell that they had forgotten that he was coming.

"God, I should have called," He mumbled to himself knocking again.

When the door finally opened, Max stood in front of his boss with his white dress shirt opened, tie wrapped around his head and boxers.

"Maaaax..." he hissed. Jason tried to gather words but couldn't "I need to talk to Diane."

"Um..." he stuttered looking over his shoulder. "She can't come to the door right now, if you know what I mean."

"Sadly, I do," he grimaced, running his hand over his face. "Can you just ask her to look over these and get back to me tomorrow?" he asked handing them to his guard.

"Sure thing, Boss," the man answered with a smile.

"I'm going home and try to forget this," Jason mumbled turning away from the man.

Jason was happy for the two inside the house. He could just without all the awkward moments that he had been a part of with them. He sent a quick text to Sonny about the documents before heading home. He couldn't wait to get home, but the moment he walked through the door, he regretted it. Maxie had taken over his living room with magazines and fabric. He watched her flip through pages as if it was an Olympic sport. He might have thought it was impressive if it wasn't happening in the middle of his house.

He tossed his keys on the desk. The sound didn't even cause the woman to flinch. He had to admit when she was focused, nothing was able to distract her. Once his gun was safely put away, he addressed the blonde.

"How long will you being staying here again?" he asked crossing his arms over his chest.

"Till Ally don't need me anymore," she answered never looking up.

"Well, Ally has me so...you can anytime now," he informed her.

Maxie scoffed, "Well you weren't here when she almost fainted coming down the stairs this afternoon."

"What?" he questioned pulling on Maxie's arm.

"She didn't eat much today so she got a little dizzy. She's fine. She's upstairs resting, along with Spinelli," she explained pulling away from Jason's grasp.

"Why didn't you call me?"

Maxie dropped everything on the table before turning towards him. "She's fine. You need to stop obsessing over her. I know you're worried that something is going to happen, because of the stuff with Sam and everything that has taken place since she's been here. You have every right to feel what you feel. But…you can't save her from everything. She just got a little dizzy and she's fine. You have to believe that or you're going to drive yourself crazy, or...drive her away," Maxie explained. "If she wants you by her side, she always tells you," she finished patting him on the shoulder.

Jason sighed knowing that Maxie was right, but he would never tell her that.

"So she's okay?"

"Yes, if she wasn't...I would have called you," the blonde answered handing him a card.

"What's this?"

"You have an appointment tomorrow for a tux fitting," she explained as she went back to her magazines.

Jason rolled his eyes, "Maxie..."

"Black and white tux...simple," she informed him, looking up at him. Surprised spread across his face as he placed the card in his pocket. "I do listen to suggestions," she called after him as he walked into the kitchen.

"Thanks," he replied quietly.

Maxie sometimes makes him want to pluck his eyes out with toothpicks but the more she hung around, the more he was able to tolerate her.

Jason had just opened his beer when Ally came bouncing into the kitchen. He chocked on the liquid upon seeing her in just a black pair of spanks and sports bra.

"Whoa..." she asked wiping his mouth. "You okay?"

"Yeah..just..." he stuttered. "Didn't expect you to walk around the house in...that," he said wrapping his arms around her half naked body.

Ally blushed, "Well...Maxie had a seamstress here earlier and then I was trying on dresses today...I figured wearing this was just easier," she explained linking her arms around his waist while her head rested on his chest.

"I'm not complaining, just kinda don't like anyone seeing you in your underwear," he whispered into the top of her head.

A smile spread across her face, "Don't worry...this isn't the good stuff."

Jason pulled back slightly looking down at her. Ally winked before kissing him lightly.

"Still crazy to think that Maxie and Spinelli are getting married," the woman commented after pulling away, placing her head on his chest.

"I'm happy for them. Cause the sooner they get married the sooner they move out and I get my penthouse back," he replied causing Ally to swat him. "What?" he asked looking down at her.

"You will miss them when they are gone," she insisted.

"No, I won't," he assured her.

Ally shook her head at the man looking down at her. Jason did enjoy his privacy, but Ally knew part of him liked having Spinelli around.

"So how was your day?" she asked pulling away, gently placing herself up on the island.

Jason placed himself between her legs smiling at her, "Long and very scaring," he answered.

"Scaring?" she questioned running her fingers through his hair.

"You really don't want to know," he insisted. "What about you? I heard you fainted."

Ally leaned back in her hands biting her lip. "I'm fine. I just needed to eat."

Jason sighed looking down at her exposed stomach running his thumb over the healing scar. "I'm always going to worry," he informed her, his eyes moving up to meet hers. "I just don't want to worry too much than I push you away."

Ally placed her arms around her neck, smiling, "You have to do an awful lot to push me away. Jason, you actually care about my well-being. I've never had that," she softly kissed his lips. "If you get too over-bearing I'll tell you." He nodded just as their lips touched again.

Jason pulled her body against his causing moans to escape both of them. The sound caused Jason to pull away slightly. He licked his lips as he eyes roamed over her body.

"Why don't you get dressed and I'll order some food," he suggested, his eyes never leaving her body.

Ally smirked placing her finger under his chin, lifting it so he would look at her. She gave him a wink before kissing him once more. "I love you," she whispered before hopping down.

The enforcer sighed as he watched her slowly walked away. "Woman..." He knew she was just teasing him just by the smile that was returned to him when she turned around. "I love you too," he mumbled back shaking his head at her.

Once she left, Jason chugged the rest of his beer and grabbed another. Waiting was the only option the two of them had at the moment, till she got done healing and cleared by the doctor. Then there was some emotionally healing that he knew she needed as well. In the meantime, she really knew how to keep his attention and get him going. A lot of cold showers were in his near future. Though if he was going to be honest, since she moved in his room permanently, cold showers seemed to be a daily thing for Jason.
