Return to N.Y.C

Kathryn leaned her head back sighing as the cool air whipped through her hair, after leaving Los Angeles both her and Jase had traded in the dodge viper and got ten grand for it. Combining that money with another ten grand Jase had in his account thanks to his drug dealing they had managed to buy a very nice black Porsche convertible, "God it feels great to be back in New York," she called to Jase who just raised an eyebrow, "what?"

Turning she saw his hazel eyes dancing playfully beneath his sunglasses, "It's nice, but no L.A."

"That's it's appeal," Kathryn remarked snidely before leaning in two him as he threw an arm over her body as she snuggled up to his waist, "do you love me Jase?" There was no answer, looking up she saw him smiling, "well? Do you love me?"

He glanced down at her, "Do you love me?" he asked her exact question before putting his eyes back on the road the automatic gearbox allowing him to only need one arm to drive while on the interstate.

Kathryn sat up and whispered into his ear, "I love you about nine times a week," he laughed, "your turn."

As she settled back in he took a deep breath, "I don't believe in love, I believe in misery, hate, convenience, lust and friendship but not love. If a person asked me if I loved you I'd have to say that if I did believe in love then yes I do but since I don't then there's no way I can be in love," he waited for her response feeling a little uneasy and hoping that she wasn't expecting something else.

"Jase…"

"Mm," his cool exterior showed but Kathryn knew him, she knew that he was nervous by the way his fingers were drumming on the wheel of the car.

"I feel the same way," feeling him let out a held breath she smiled as he started to run her back gently as in a sign of affection, "Jase…you'll never leave me will you?"

"Of course not Kathryn, will you ever leave me?"

"No," feeling him hold her tighter Kathryn gently began think back to the times when she thought that Sebastian would never leave her, but he did, left her alone with no one, with nothing. But now she was back, with a new and better Sebastian who she actually believed when he said he couldn't stop loving her. "Jase what did you actually do to the others on your list, I mean you only got three of them that I know of and you had about four or five more."

"Let's just say the police received an anonymous tip off that some drugs might be in their apartments or cars, it's funny because it was simple to do but until you came along it had never occurred to me before. I guess you bring out the best and worst in me," the city of New York came into view and he raised his eyebrows…it was bigger than he'd expected.

"Good," although she didn't want to ask this question she did so anyway, "how's Eliza?"

She felt him tense up, although they'd heard that Michael Thompson would never play football again and that helped in Jase mood but he still blamed himself, "She's doing ok, got a new boyfriend who actually respects her and ten percent of the profits I make in the drug dealing business are going to her." Kathryn sat up to look at him with concerned and confused written all over her face, "She looked after me now I've got to look after her, besides we still got seventy five percent of profits coming in which is more than enough."

"As long as we've got enough, I've got just over three thousand dollars left, we'll be ok though won't we?" he laughed, "what's so funny?"

"Of course we'll be ok, stop worrying, you helped me now it's my turn to help you," he reassured her, "so…who's our first target."

"His name's Court…Court Reynolds."

---------------------------------------

"Wow look at the size of this place," Jase exclaimed while walking into an enormous penthouse apartment, "we can afford this right?"

"Jason I told you with your…uh…income we'll have more than enough," she stammered as the baggage carrier delivered Kathryn's suitcase and Jases duffel bag. After giving him ten dollars Kathryn turned back to him smiling, "Jase do you still have my…prescription."

Grabbing a small clear through bag from his pocket Jase held the heroin up in the air for Kathryn to come and get, however when she attempted to reach for it he moved it out of her grasp, then again, and again, "That's what you get for picking a tall drug dealer, there were plenty of small ones."

"Jason," she warned not in the mood for his games, she needed a hit.

He sighed, "Your no fun, just what the doctor ordered," he tossed the bag over to her, tapping and separating it on the clear table Kathryn snorted it before adjusting herself slightly.

Sighing happily she felt Jase wrap his arms around her waist and kiss that certain erogenous zone on her neck, "Mm, that feels nice," she seemed to melt into his embrace as he cupped her breasts and started massaging them.

"What'd you say we test out the bedsprings on the king sized bed?" he whispered huskily into her ear sending shivers down her spine.

She was about a millisecond away from jumping his bones but realized that if she did then this would be a victory for, him, he was attempting to seduce her, holding his hands so they stopped their ministrations she smiled, "Nice try Jason but we'll try to bedsprings out later."

He groaned in frustration, "But I'm horny now," he pressed himself against her and she gasped but refused to give in.

"Jase," she gasped, "you know what they say…"

"No," he growled kissing her neck, "what do they say?"

Pulling away she turned around to face him, "All good things come to those who wait and you'll definitely have good things happen to you tonight but for now you'll have to wait," she tapped him on the cheek twice, "but for now we'll have to discuss what we're going to do with Court Reynolds," he sighed but knowing that there was no way that she was changing her mind nodded.

Walking over he collapsed on the couch while pulling a cigarette out of his pocket, "You want one?" she shook her head, sparking up he leaned back, "So…what does this Court Reynolds look like and what'd he do to you."

"What'd he do to me?" Kathryn laughed sarcastically, "I'll tell you exactly what he did to me and what I want you to do to him."
