Jason wrapped his arm around her waist and guided her to the closet where he helped her into a leather jacket smirking since she wore an expensive gown but even though there was probably a wrap to match she preferred a leather jacket especially the one he bought her so they would match. He guided her outside and to the limo and shook his head when he heard the guards fighting about who would 'have' to call Carly.

Jason led guided her into the limo and slid in beside her smiling when she cuddled up close then he told the driver, "Shiva's palace."

Courtney looked at him curiously but knew Jason wouldn't tell her anything he was exceptional at keeping secretes even if she begged and pleaded he never told her until it was time but she decided to chance it and ask anyway just for fun, "Jase what's Shiva's palace?"

Jason smirked knowing her game, "A palace made out of ice."

Courtney's eyes darkened in annoyance, "You know what I meant, what's special about it and why are we going there?"

Jason smiled, "It's a palace made out of ice but it's really crystal since it doesn't melt in this atmosphere but it looks like ice to set the theme. Don't pout baby we'll be there soon enough."

Courtney sighed, "Fine you win this round." She rested her head on his shoulder as he played with her curls and she closed her eyes letting the soft hum of the movement lull her into a peaceful sleep trusting Jason completely.

Jason looked down and noticed she was asleep and smiled warmly knowing he had her total trust and cooperation once she woke up. He continued to play with her curls really liking it when she curled her hair but hated when she straightened it because the softness was always gone and it was hard and brittle but straight which some guys liked as she would say but he hated it and told her. He remembered their mock fight.

Courtney stood in front of the mirror in her bedroom dressed in a black knee-length skirt and baby blue sheer shirt with a black lace camisole underneath. Jason stood in the doorway watching as she put make up on and then picked up the straight iron.

He crossed to her and plucked it out of her hands and she whirled around to face him shock on her face, "Jason what's wrong? I need that why are you looking at me that way?"

He answered, "The iron makes your hair hard and brittle you lose your shine and the softness every time you straighten your hair which is straight by itself."

Courtney rolled her eyes, "Well guys like it straighter so give me back the iron."

He kept it out of her reach, "No you're not supposed to want to please other guys just me."

Courtney rolled her eyes and lunged catching him by surprise and grabbing the iron as he fell on the bed, "No you have yet to tell me what I am to you so no I don't have to please you since you haven't pleased me yet. Now get I'm trying to get ready."

He sighed, "Is this payback for my ultimatum?"

Courtney smirked, "Yes and here's mine I'll do what I want until you tell me how you feel. And i want to please my audience so there." end flash back

Jason shook his head because later that night flash back

Jason sat in the oasis watching her from his shadowed corner and noticed that the lights reflected against her hair but when she used that awful iron they didn't not as bright or as illuminating as they were now so he knew she didn't use it plus there was real bounce in her hair as she shimmied against the pole and he smirked knowing he had won their first 'fight'. The night continued and he bought private time and there he kissed her like there was no tomorrow as she rolled her eyes at his ego, "You won this round Morgan. But I swear I will win the war." He smirked, "Sure but you already won my heart." He knew Courtney was ok with the slight declaration because she always knew when he needed time. end flash back

The driver stopped and Jason woke Courtney and helped her out of the limo and was pleased when she gasped in shock at the building that did look like it was made out of ice. They went inside and were quickly ushered to a table but it wasn't secluded there were other people there. Courtney looked at him curiously knowing he liked to have her all to himself.

They sat down and ordered quickly then when their meals arrived they talked and Courtney asked, "I thought you didn't like sharing me with anyone?"

Jason nodded, "I don't but I called the change in too short of time to get rid of the others. I was going to take you to the Black Rose it's a real mobsy place but then you looked like an ice angel so I thought this would be better. Care to dance Shiva?"

Courtney smiled, "Of course but who are you? Shiva must have a prince so what do I call you?"

Jason smiled as he led her onto the dance floor, "Anything you want baby."

Courtney smiled as she danced with him, "I like Jason Morgan."

Jason nodded, "Hmm I like Courtney Morgan as well but that can wait."

Courtney nodded, "Yes I do too but thank you for this night."

Jason smiled, "It's not over yet, you still need to visit the casino." He ushered her to the coat check where they picked up their leather jackets ignoring people's weird looks and went back into the limo and were driven to the casino.

They sat in the limo just talking; something they didn't do a lot of in PC. Jason told her about living with Sam because of Sonny and she told him about the bet with Jax. They each talked about how much they missed the other not just their sexual relationship but the companionship as well. Jason could always depend on Courtney to cheer him up and she could always depend on Jason to give her strength.

The limo stopped in front of the casino and he helped her out and guided her placing his hand on the small of her back as they passed the front desk, the clerk winked and Jason nodded Courtney was oblivious then they reached the double doors and when they opened Courtney got the shock of her life...
