A/N – Thanks for the comments! Glad you're still with me on this one. It's longer than I thought it would be lol. I'm going to make this last until a few weeks into December and then I'll break for the holidays for two or three weeks before returning.

Chapter 67

Liz turned and then faked throwing the bouquet twice before launching it and when Larissa caught it, Liz clapped and then whispered something to Jason.

After he tortured her removing the garter, he waited for the guys to line up and noted that Drew was kind of off to the side. He got ready and then launched it and the place erupted in laughter when it landed on Drew's head.

He shook his head and then grabbed Larissa's hand and led her to the middle and they lightly swayed.

"I hope this isn't too torturous," she said.

"You could be Tracy."

"That's true."

He studied her for a moment. She's a beautiful woman and very nice.

"What are you thinking about?"

"You know they probably planned this."

She nodded. "Is that okay with you?"

"I don't know." Dating is not something he had thought about or is even ready for.

"Relax, we don't have to get married tomorrow."

When she winked, he laughed. "True. It's not that I don't like you."

"I know and I get it. I think being friends is a good place to start if you're game." He is handsome, nice, and a good man. There's a lot to like, but she is also respectful of where he is in his life and understands his hesitancy considering everything he's had to deal with.

"Friends are nice."

She smiled. "Good, then we have a deal?"

"Okay."

Lucky spun Liz around. "This was a great night."

"I'm glad you're having a good time. I like Gillian a lot. Don't screw it up."

"Can I tell you a secret?"

Liz's eyes grew wide and she dragged him out a side door as he laughed. "Spill…"

From the inside pocket of his suit, he pulled out a ring.

"Oh, Lucky. It's beautiful."

"I'm going to ask her tomorrow."

"She is going to love it." It's a two-carat round solitaire.

He smiled. "I hope so. I'll be forever crushed if she turns me down." He tucked it away.

"I see the way you look at each other. I'm glad you're happy and Aidan adores her."

"I'm glad we can talk like this. By the way, believe it or not, Nikolas told me to tell you congratulations. We talked a lot about you and Jason, and I think he understands now; not that you needed him to."

"I didn't, but I'm glad he has come around. I do miss him."

"Maybe someday, he'll be happy again."

"I hope so. Do you think you'll have a bigger wedding?"

"Probably bigger than I'd want."

Liz laughed.

"Her family will want it."

"Well, we'd love to attend and support you."

"I would like that too."

Aidan ran toward them. "Mom! You have to see Aunt Sarah and Patrick. It's hilarious."

Liz grabbed Lucky's hand and pulled him inside and they were met with the sight of Patrick pretending to smack Sarah's ass.

Everyone was cracking up.

"He is too much," she said as she watched Robin cheering them on.

Stephen moved to her side. "That's your sister."

"I've never seen her before," Liz quipped.

"Let's show them how it's done."

Liz and Stephen had the crowd going with their antics, while Maximus gave Jason the key to the cottage.

"I should be cringing knowing you are about to defile my daughter."

"You make it sound so crass," Jason said as Max laughed.

"Yeah, well, it is."

Jason shook his head. "What time do we need to be at the house?"

"Drew said 7:30 am. Danny won't last much longer than that."

Jason smiled. "Did the boys bring over the gifts?"

"Yes. It's all there."

"Good."

Alana and Danny are going to be ridiculously spoiled in the morning. Drew isn't sure where he's putting it all.

Liz crashed against his side. "Let's make a run for it."

"Later," Jason said before pulling her towards the main entrance.

They ran as a few people clapped and cheered and then Jason helped her onto a decorated golf cart and then took off.

She leaned against his arm as he drove to the cottage.

"This night has been a dream come true in so many ways."

Jason smiled. "I know. It was perfect."

"Thank you for everything."

"You deserved every second of it."

"So did you."

When they finally pulled in front of it. Jason cut the engine and then went to her side and lifted her. "Come on, wife."

She smiled. "That will never get old."

He pushed the door open and they gasp as they view the rose petals and soft lighting.

"It's beautiful."

After setting her on her feet they perused it together.

The bedroom door is slightly ajar, so after moving inside, Liz smiled. There are petals on the floor, leading to the bed which has items on it.

She picked up a note. "Elizabeth, I know you're in good hands. There is a basket on the counter from the bridal party. Do everything I'd do," Love Piph."

She laughed and then ran over to the basket to find all sorts of naughty things. "God, I hope they didn't take this through the TSA checkpoint."

From over her shoulder, Jason laughed.

There is a whip, lingerie, hot oils, a vibrator, flavored lotions, handcuffs, and scarfs.

"You have dirty friends."

She cracked up. "That might be a good thing. Unzip me."

He did and she grabbed a nightgown before rushing into the bathroom. Once her makeup was removed, she slipped the gown on and then took one last look in the mirror. When she saw him standing there in just a pair of silk briefs that said, property of Liz, with her name over his crotch, she burst out laughing.

"That was all Piph."

Jason smirked. "Come here."

She had noticed that his eye color had darkened, and her body is tingling at the sight.

Gently, he ran his hand up her side as their mouths crashed together, and then his lips traveled to her neck and she moaned.

"Jason…"

The sound of her sigh revved him on as he placed her on the bed, laying her out like a feast.

"Beautiful…"

Lightly, he glided his fingertips up her leg making her shiver. He's not sure where he wants to start and then grins and grabs the vibrator, quickly turning it on.

Elizabeth sucked in a deep breath a second before he made contact. He watches as her hips buck and then decides to further stimulate her by nipping at the inside of her thighs.

"Oh, God," she cried when he turned up the vibrator.

"I want to hear you scream, Elizabeth."

Her body quivered as he french-kissed her upper thighs and then he adjusted, making sure that the tip of the vibrator never lost contact. When his tongue licked against her opening and then plunged inside, she's a goner.

"Jason! God!"

Her legs started to shake as she neared the edge.

"Fuck me! Please! Oh, God!"

He pulled back and slammed the bent vibrator inside her and made sure to angle it to reach her g-spot and a scream left her lips as she lost it. Her hips shot up as her body tensed and then her head tilted back and the sensations assaulted her, overwhelming all her senses as she whimpered and jolted before quivering and then collapsing back onto the bed.

After turning off the vibrator, he stood and removed his shorts. When she began to giggle and then laugh hard, he eyes her quizzically.

"What?"

"I just—that was—Jason, I don't think I've ever come harder in my life. I swear you're going to kill me."

He grinned. Good to know.

"Come here."

He crawled next to her and she grabbed his face and sucked on his lips before plunging her tongue inside. Her man had just blown her mind and she is about to return the favor. Gaining her strength again, she pushed him onto his back and then straddled him before ravishing his mouth again. Just the feel of his hands brushing against her skin is doing her in. Moaning, she made her way to his neck, nipping and sucking until she reached his glorious chest and ran her tongue over it before seeking out his nipple.

Jason sucked in a breath as she alternated between biting and sucking before moving down his torso.

"Elizabeth…"

His tortured tone just fueled her desire and she finally made it to his straining cock.

"Baby…"

"Shh… Let me please you like you did for me."

Before he can answer, her mouth is on him and he groaned as her tongue flicked against his ridge. As she took him in further, he couldn't help it and lightly moved his hips. Her hummed approval spurred him, and he felt like he was going to burst. "Baby, I'm going to come. Stop."

She briefly retreated and smiled. "And?"

With a growl, he tugged her up against his body and then flipped them, and she gasped when he entered her to the hilt and then froze.

Their pants began to fill the room as he began to thrust, using long strokes so she'd feel every inch of him. Her heels dug into his back, urging him to go faster, but he kept it steady, building her passion for ten minutes before she begged him to fuck her harder and he gave in.

"Jason! Just—pound into me…please!"

His hips pumped a little faster, but she was growing impatient with his teasing and pulled his head down, distracting him with a kiss. When he moaned as she sucked on his tongue, she quickly retreated and flipped him onto his back.

With staunch determination she rode him hard, bending forward so she could bounce on his dick. The sensation was so hot that he started to pant. "Baby! Make us come."

She bounced faster, the friction edging them closer. His hips rose to meet her and the orgasm that followed took her by surprise. Falling forward, she let out a keening cry as her body shook; her hot pussy clenching him so tight that his cock started to jerk, and he erupted. Just feeling him come was enough to set her off again.

Jason could barely keep his eyes open as Elizabeth sprawled on top of him. He was spent and very satisfied.

"You okay?"

She smiled as she snuggled against him. "I'm more than fine. That was so good."

"Yeah." With her, everything is so different. Maybe it was because they had owned who they are together and apart that gave them such confidence in bed; knowing what the other needs and giving it freely. There are no other thoughts in his mind except his love for her. In the past, there was always something looming or an enemy lurking. Guilt tended to rule his actions, but tonight, it was just them and what they mean to each other.

"What are you thinking about?" she asked dreamily.

"How great, it is that we're in a different place and how good we are together."

"It's amazing, isn't it?"

"Yes. You're amazing."

She slightly pushed up. "I've never felt this with anyone else. It's just so perfect. We're beautiful together when we're not being stupid."

He grinned. "You have a point."

"Did it feel like this with anyone else?"

"No."

"Not even Robin?"

"It was different; kind of like how you remember the way it was in the beginning with Lucky."

"First love?"

"Yeah. She was important, but you are everything. Now that I understand how great we can be, I'll never give you up, Elizabeth. I hope you understand that you are stuck with me."

"Oh yeah?" She likes the sound of that.

"Definitely. In fact, I'd kill off every judge so no one could grant you a divorce."

She laughed. "That has to be the most romantic thing you've ever said to me."

He grinned. "Stick around, there's more to come."

"I like that promise."

He started to grow hard making her eyes grow wide.

"Again?"

"I just look at you and get hard, Elizabeth. I don't understand why you don't get that."

She giggled. "Well, considering how one look at you filling out your jeans and your tight ass in them—not to mention your biceps—damn, I'm wet just thinking about it."

"I'm willing to do something about that."

She found herself on her back as her husband made her scream his name again.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi

Jason and Elizabeth rushed toward the main house after ditching the golf cart. They are fifteen minutes late because Liz bent over in the bathroom in front of him to look under the sink and he had to have her. Making love in the shower is something he loves to do, and she didn't object.

Before they could turn the knob, the door is jerked open and Maximus is glaring.

"Sorry," Liz said before planting a kiss on his cheek and rushing forward.

"I'm not sorry. I love my wife and I'm not kissing your cheek. You can pull out your little gun if you want, but I'm not scared of it."

Max snickered from behind them.

"Smartass," Maximus said before closing the door. "Can't get any respect around here. I think I'm going to hire Alice away from Monica. She's willing to kick your asses.

"Please…" Jason said before making his escape.

Upon entering the living room, he is greeted by Danny cheering.

"Now can I open one?"

Drew chuckled. "Yes."

Danny grabbed a present for himself and then handed one to his sister who is mesmerized by the wrapping paper.

"I told you that you can give her the roll of paper and she'd have more fun with it than the actual present," Monica said.

"You're probably right." Drew started removing some of the paper and she grabbed it and ripped it with a grin on her face.

"That's my girl. Get in there and get that present," Liz said.

She was determined and ripped several times until the doll was revealed, making her hit the box several times as she babbled.

Jason handed Michael a card. He opened it and then looked up at his uncle skeptically.

"Is this like the Kingsman movie?" he said holding a business card with a logo on it for a tailor.

Cam, Jake, and Milo cracked up.

"No." Jason is familiar with the movies. "You need to look your best while you're running the company and that is the best tailor around. I put some money in an account there. Go, and he'll measure you and handmake several suits, so you look your best.

Michael smiled. "Cool." Jason always gives very thoughtful gifts.

Several gifts are exchanged, and everyone is happy with what they got.

Jason cleared his throat. "So, I kind of did something for New Year's Eve."

Liz is intrigued.

"I wanted us to spend it as a family, so I rented out a bowling alley."

"No way!" Aidan said.

"It has, pool, bowling, and arcade games. A bus will transport everyone there and I'm catering the food and drinks. We have the place until 1:00 am."

"That sounds awesome, Uncle Jason," Danny said.

"Great idea," Maximus said. He didn't feel like getting dressed up, so it was perfect.

"Invite whoever you want. Just give me a count in case we need extra food."

"I can ask some friends?" Aidan said.

"Sure."

Jason is blessed with a quick hug. Aidan is getting older, so hugs are rare.

"I'm in," Jake said.

"Me too," Cam added.

"Well, if Cam is going, I'm going," Tess said which made Max choke on his drink.

Cam grinned. "Just biding my time…"

Maximus shook his head. He is going to miss them so much.

Stan and his family had opted to leave on January second, so he's looking forward to the night as well.

Liz hugged her man. "Good call."

"I'm glad it's a hit."

"I have something special for you. It's the best gift I could think of, but it's at the cottage."

"I can wait."

He produced a box.

"Jason!"

He grinned. "You didn't really think I'd come empty-handed, did you?"

She rolled her eyes and took it from him.

She opened it and tears pricked her eyes. It is a charm bracelet. There are several hearts with the boy's names on them and Jason's. In between, there are beautiful gemstones representing birthstones. There are emeralds for Cam and Jake, a ruby for Aidan, and sapphire for Jason. All have a small diamond at the top. Her eyes pricked with tears when she eyed the blank one. "Oh, Jason. Thank you."

He gave her a chaste kiss. "I'm glad you like it."

"It's a reminder of our beautiful family."

Johnny sighed. "Jason needs to go."

Liz gasped. "Johnny!"

"I'm tired of his perfect gifts."

Jason grinned. "I can't help it you're a loser."

Brenda rolled her eyes. "So jealous of my man."

Jason groaned.

Johnny pulled out a box.

"You got me something?"

"I did."

Brenda smirked. "Well, it's a good thing I got you something too then, isn't it?" She had gotten so lucky to find what she was looking for so quickly. It pays to have minions.

He chuckled and took the small box from her and handed another one over. They are moving fast, but he doesn't care. If he has his way, she'll be wearing his ring in the spring. Brenda feels the same way. They had been together every minute they could spare, and she is hooked. Johnny is different from the men she usually dates. Not only does he speak his mind, but there's just something about him that makes her gush. He's so respectful yet dirty that he is blowing her mind.

"You first?" she asked.

"No, ladies first."

He also has impeccable manners. She peeled off the wrapping paper and laughs when she opens the box. "You're giving me a key to the cottage?"

"Yes."

"I love it."

"There's more in there."

Her eyes grew big and she sighs when she spots what's under a paper barrier. "Oh, my God."
