Chapter 1

As soon as the man entered the room he dropped his heavy bags onto the floor and took off his leather jacket and laid it down on a nearby chair as he continued on into the bathroom. Turning on the shower the man continued to undress allowing his ripped body to meet with the coolness of the room as his mind focused one thing and one thing only, her.

Samantha McCall meant everything to him. From the moment he first laid eyes on the raven haired beauty she became his muse, his life. He instantly felt an urgent need to protect the woman and become whatever she required of him, even if it went against his usual code of ethics as far as his job was concerned. He didn't care, she was the one for him and he knew it. There was nothing that he wouldn't do or sacrifice for her which drove his best friend Carly insane.

Stepping into the shower and allowing the water to cascade down his body freely the man smiled to himself as he thought about the last time he held the love of his life in his arms. It was late one night when Jason had returned home from a late night business meeting. The man was sure to remain quiet as he headed up the stairs and into their bedroom where he found her waiting for him.

She was laying there naked in a bed of roses wearing a wicked grin on her face. He immediately moved to join her when she held up her hand silencing him without speaking a word. He looked at her intuitively as she stood up and helped him disrobe. When all of his clothing was finally removed the petite vixen lead her lover into the bathroom where a warm bubble bath surrounded by candles awaited them.

The smile on the man's face grew even wider as he thought about what happened next. God how he missed her, how he longed for her to be at his side once again not only in a sexually manor but as his partner, his friend, his personal cheerleader and confidant. Their relationship was nothing like he had ever felt in his life and it was something that he needed something he knew was worth fighting for.

Needless to say when he awoke that morning and found the she left him, his world fell apart and the walls began to close in around him.

She said that she couldn't take this life any more and that she loved him but the stress of it all was eating away at her and destroyed who she once was. His heart broke as he read on taking in each and every word hoping and praying that he had read it wrong, that it was just a cruel joke that she was playing on him but unfortunately it wasn't.

At first he pretended that he didn't care that he had expected it, after all the women in his life had a knack for being weak and unable to handle his chosen profession but deep down he knew she was different. Sam was tough and had a fighting sprit that only rivaled the over dramatic and neurotic Carly. His smile turned into a laugh as he thought back to the many fights that were had between the two where he would have to step in before blows were exchanged because unlike the others Sam wouldn't be intimidated by the overbearing woman and was always more than happy to put her in her place every time the need would present itself.

Turning off the water Jason Morgan made his way into the bedroom where he continued to dry off. Once he was through he put on a pair of boxers shorts before grabbing a file out of his bag and making himself comfortable on the king sized bed. Opening the file he took out the picture of the love of his life and starred at it.

"Soon Sam we'll be together again, no matter what I have to do. I will win you back"

Across town Sam McCall slept soundly as the wind blew in through her window as it seemed to carry the man's message to her.

"Soon Sam" the wind spoke causing her to sit up abruptly and look around for the source of the voice as she whispered.

"Jason"
