Jason Morgan was a mob enforcer, a hit man, the person you turned to when you needed something or someone taken care of and you wanted it done properly. He was the always someone you counted on to be there and to never ask questions. He was not the person that was staring back at him at that moment in a three piece suit and leather shoes. He knew that he had to be this person when he arrived at the meeting later that evening. The papers were signed yet, but the details of what was to be expected from Jason was going to be discussed. He knew he had to look the part, even if it was just for the night.

He smoothed out his jacket, turning to find Max waiting for him. He gave him a small nod as the men walked to the waiting limo. Even arriving to the meeting in the right car meant something. He wasn't sure if he was going to keep up this act the longer he was in this position, but Sonny suggested to at least try for a while.

Jason had spent his entire afternoon with Ally, before leaving early evening to check on the invoices for the shipments and get ready for the meeting. He had gotten a call from Diane informing him that she checked over the documents and everything seemed pretty straight forward and she draw up legal papers for him to sign by the end of the week. So walking into the meeting knowing that made him feel less tense. Crowds weren't his things, not in any kind of way.

Arriving at the warehouse, Jason found that everyone arrived promptly. He was ready to get this over with so he could return home to his overcrowded penthouse. He waited for Max to do his job, before stepping out the vehicle.

"Just wait here," he instructed the guard before heading into the building.

The moment Sonny saw Jason a smile spread across his face. He always thought this was the way his friend should dress but never forced him, cause that wasn't what Jason wanted. He nodded to the enforcer to join him at the table before addressing everyone.

"Okay, gentlemen, now that Jason has arrived, we can start," Sonny said taking his seat.

Mumbles echoed through the room as the men took their seats. All eyes zoned in on Jason as they placed themselves at the table. The meetings were about many things, but tonight's was about the territory that Jason was about to take over.

"Mr. Morgan, may I be the first to say that I'm surprised to see you out of the leather jacket," one man said with a smile.

"Don't get use to it. I rather be in my leather jacket," he commented.

The room echoed with laughter. Jason was unconventional and every man that sat there respected him for being who he was. He got his work done and was nothing but professional while doing it.

"So, Jason...since you are going to be the one running the Zacchara territory, can we expect it to be ran the way you and Sonny run his organization?"

"There will be a few changes being made, especially what I allow in my shipments. Anthony didn't car what cargo was shipped back and forth," Jason began to explain. "I will not tolerate drugs of any kind in Port Charles."

The men all exchanged smiles. Jason Morgan stuck to his guns when it came to illegal substances. They respected him for it. Sure their business wasn't the prettiest, but they wanted to keep it as clean as possible so the authorities wouldn't find a reason to look at them.

"There is one more thing we all would like to know?" Jason folded hands on the table remaining as patient as he could with all the questions being thrown at him. "Tell us what part will Ally Lynn play in your organization?"

Jason frowned at Sonny, unsure of how to respond to their question. Ally never said she had any part of anything that had to do with Johnny and Anthony, but being with her brought Jason a lot of respect from the men sitting at this table.

"I guess...I don't know what you want me to say. Ally is currently recovering from a bullet to the back that was put there on orders from Anthony. I don't think she is going to be near any of this...ever," he informed them all.

"Mr. Morgan...Lady Lynn was more than just a pretty face in this business, so maybe you should talk to her, before you go making any decisions," the man spoke.

Jason became instantly frustrated at the man's words. The very thought of the woman he loves being close to this crazy life cause his frustration to turn to anger. He didn't understand anything that was going on, but he needed answers.

"I'll talk to her..." was all he could say before excusing himself from the table.

"Why don't we just let Jason worry about his territory and Ms. Lynn's part. Let's focus on shipping routes and schedules. Benny..." Sonny expressed pointing to his man.

Jason let Benny have his chair, leaving the room. He knew it probably didn't look right to leave a meeting that effected him, but he needed to get his emotions in check. The moment he stepped into his office at the coffee house, his tie flew across the room. He paced the floor trying to debate over what Ally could have done to gain so much respect with the men in the other room. Woman in this business weren't always looked upon well.

The enforcer groaned dropping into his chair. He looked up finding Ally's face greeting him. He reached for the picture that he guessed was placed there by Maxie. He slowly ran his finger over her smiling face. A smile that he knew was there because of him. The more he studied the picture the more he realized there was so much that she was keeping from him. Replacing the picture on his desk, Jason reached for the phone. He was seconds from dialing Spinelli, but stopped. If he wanted the truth, he needed to get it from her, not his friend.

Jason grabbed his tie and bolted out the door. He needed to leave before the meeting ended. He left a message for Sonny with Milo before jumping into the limo, instructing Max to take him home. He talked himself out of all the bad things Ally might have done. He needed to remain open-minded about everything cause he didn't want his anger to take over.

The moment he stepped into his penthouse, Jason needed a few just to collect his thoughts. He needed to go upstairs with a plan and not just go on a full fledged attack. She had experience enough over the last few months, so he needed to be careful on how he handled everything. He didn't wan to cause her more trauma.

Once the penthouse was secure, along with his gun, Jason stared up the stairs. He stared up the stairs, taking a couple breathes. He calmed himself as best he could before slowly climbing the stairs to his room. Quietly, he pushed opened the door, finding Ally asleep. He was partly surprised that she was able to rest alone. His heart ached at the thought of waking her, but everything had to be settled tonight.

Throwing his tie on the dresser, Jason climbed into bed and lightly shook the woman. "Al..."

The young lady stirred slightly, "Jase..."

He smiled, "Hey..."

She frowned slowly rolling over, "What's going on?"

He placed a soft kiss on her forehead. "We need to talk."

Ally stretched as she slowly sat up in the bed, "Right now?" Her eyes roamed over Jason, who was still dressed in all his clothes. "Wow...where were you tonight?"

"I had a meeting about the Zacchara territory," he answered slowly getting up off the bed.

"You look nice," she smiled, watching him peel off his suit jacket. He turned to her as he threw it in the nearby chair. She could see that there was a lot going on just being looking at his face. "Okay...so what is going on?"

"Tonight...the men..." he sighed, not really sure how to ask what he wanted. He didn't want to upset her, but he needed answers. "Why were they asking about your roll in organization?"

Ally's eyes fell to her lap, "I don't know if I want to talk about this with you right now."

"Ally..."

"Jason...I can't," she insisted.

"You have to talk to me," he demanded.

"No, I don't," she scolded him. "I don't have to tell you anything."

Jason watched her throw back the blankets. He saw the anger build up in her body the moment he insisted on her to tell him. When she stormed by him, he couldn't help but grab her arm to stop her.

"Let go," she instructed him.

"Why can't you just tell me?" he asked looking down at her. "I've been honest with you about everything."

Ally's eyes bored into Jason's as she snatched her arm away from his grasp.

"You don't get to handle me that way...ever," she spit out.

Jason looked down taking a step back. "You're right," he mumbled. "But...I deserve to know the truth. Those men know so much about you and they kept asking about you. I had no answer to give them," he groaned in frustration. He shook his head as he slowly turned away from her. "I have never been made of fool of, and I won't start now."

"Jase..." she spoke quietly. She knew she hurt him and that was the last thing she wanted to do. He had been so great to her and deserved to know the truth, no matter what. "I'm you..." she admitted causing the enforcer to jerk around. "Or at least, I was you."

"I don't understand."

Ally swallowed hard, taking a step forward, "You're Jason Morgan, Mob Enforcer and Hit Man. I'm Lady Lynn, the Black Widow."

Jason just shook his head, "I still don't understand, Ally."

Ally groaned cause she knew that she had to go into more detail then she wanted to. "I...um," She turned around slowly cause she couldn't look at him when told him. "Those men know me as Lady Lynn, the Black Widow cause I use to take out cheating husbands and men in the organization or connected to it."

Jason frowned extremely confused, "I don't understand how...if you really were that person, how was Johnny able to hurt you so badly?"

Ally slowly turned to look at him. "When I met Johnny, I stopped being that person. Until, Anthony found out about my past and used me to kill whoever he wanted." Jason hung onto every word she said, knowing just by the look on her face, there was more. "I did whatever he wanted cause I was afraid of what he might do to me or Johnny. I loved Johnny," she admitted. "Over a year ago, Anthony asked me to do a job for him. I usually had no problem doing it cause the people I hurt deserved it, but this one...she didn't…"

Ally looked up at Jason, seeing his eyes widen at her words. "Ally...you..."

"He wanted me to kill her to get to you, to get to Sonny...but I couldn't. She was innocent in all this," Ally explained. "That night...the night I refused Anthony is when the abuse started. It's the night I lost myself. The night I realized that what I had been doing was so wrong and that I deserved everything that was happening to me."

Jason wanted to comfort her, but he couldn't move his feet. He was shocked by her words.

"I didn't know that Anthony shot Sam, till Johnny said something the night he was killed. I always asked about it, but when I did...I ended up with a black eye or a fat lip. I swear to God, that I didn't know who you were till you told me. I wish I did, cause I would never stayed. I don't want to be the reason you are hurting," she expressed, tears falling down her cheeks.

Ally turned to walk out of the room. She wasn't sure how Jason was going to react to what she had told him. She didn't even know if he was going to love her anymore.

"Stop," he expressed. She slowly turned around as he waltzed towards her. "I don't blame you for any of this."

"But..."

"No, Anthony did this. He killed her, not you," he said reaching out and taking her hand.

"I'm sorry," she mumbled.

"Don't be. They took advantage of you in so many ways. They both got what they deserved," he expressed escorting her back into the room.

"So now that you know it all the bad..." she sighed. "What are you going to say to the men that were at your meeting tonight."

"I don't want this life for you. It seemed to hurt you more than it helped you," he commented taking a deep breath. "But...it might be a good idea to brush up on some of those skills you once had."

"Maybe...I don't want feel helpless anymore," she sighed.

"And for what I'm going to tell the men, Sonny and I will figure it out. You don't have to worry about it," he insisted with a small smile.

Ally nodded, collapsing on the bed, "I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about my past."

"It's fine...but I have no place to judge you," he reminded her as he took a seat next to her.

She leaned her head onto his shoulder, "Never a dull moment with me, huh?"

Jason chuckled, lacing their fingers together, "Who wants dull anyway."

"You're being too nice," she whispered looking up at him.

Jason winked leaning down and kissing her. Ally snaked her hand up his open shirt to his neck as she kissed him back. Experiencing their first fight, they both needed to be close to each other. Their feelings caused the kiss to intensify very quickly.

"Al..." Jason breathed against her lips.

"Mmmhmm," she responded.

"I don't want to say no to you...but..."

Ally slowly leaned back, looking up at him though her lashes. She could see in his eyes that he was struggling internally with his desires for her as well as considering her well-being.

"You still have some healing to do," he reminded her yet again. "And I don't want to be the reason you have any kind of pain," he said cupping her cheek.

"I'm sorry. I know I'm not being fair to you with all the kissing."

"I love kissing you," he smiled. "Just the kissing effects me more than you know."

Ally fell back onto the bed, causing Jason to do the same. "Why does this part have to be so hard for us?"

Jason turned to look at her. "Cause we both have been through a lot."

"I know," she whispered.

"Soon...you will be healed and by then...we will both be at a place where when we are finally together..." He slowly turned her face to his. "It will be nothing like we never experienced before."

"I love you," she whispered.

"I love you too," he replied.

The two laid quietly together just staring at each other. Being together in that moment was just as special as the moment would be when they finally were together fully.

Author's Notes: First of all...Chapter 48...this is insane. I never thought I would be writing this for so long. I started it as just something for me...and now I'm writing it for you all. I love all of you for reading my work. I usually don't share anything except with my friends and I am grateful to all of you. Please I want to hear what you have to say. The next chapter a new character will be added and right now I'm working on a chapter that effects our enforcer. I really hope you like the background I gave Ally. It took me forever to figure out what I was going to do with her.

GUEST REVIEWER: OMG LOVED YOUR REVIEW. Max and Diane are my fave. I loved the scene that you were talking about when Diane flashes Jason. That is the scene I got my inspiration for the last chapter. I really hope you like what I did with Ally's character. It took me forever to decide. Believe me the other ideas were terrible. Ally fainting has nothing to do with baby Morgan, cause I'm not sure if I have written it well, the two haven't slept together lol Soon, I hope...I don't know I haven't written that part. SLOW BURN! Yes, Maxie did listen to Ally about simple...not sure if Ally will be in something simple though. Hope you enjoy. Don't know if there will be another update, so MERRY CHRISTMAS to ALL!
