Okay- so you all will hate me for this sort thing here- but what else is new. I wasn't sure where to go with this story and I've gotten so busy that I don't have time to sit and stare at the walls and figure it out, as my brain apparently wishes me to do but clearly is wasn't done.

I've left the door open- so if I do get inspired- who knows?

Anyway- thanks to everyone who reviewed. It definitely keeps you going because you don't want to disappoint people.

I left some notes at the end of the story for you all, and again, I'm sorry to finish it like this

Chapter Four

She was surrounded by him. The scents and texture and the aura of pain. In the sea of his desire. She pushed him away so she could rip his shirt over his head, unable to stand the barrier. He simply ripped the buttons of hers apart. They struggled to remove her bra, since neither could bear to separate long enough to do it properly. Finally Jason dug out his pocketknife and simply cut the fabric.

The air rushed out of him in a hiss at the sight of her breast, small and lush. He took the left nipple into his mouth, swirling it with his tongue. Elizabeth back arched and she moaned, unable to believe that she was finally in his arms.

The years between them exploded. Seconds were minutes were hours were nothing were everything. When it was over they remained frozen in the moment of completion.

Neither could bear to forfeit the moment to a world that was tangible.

"I love you." She spoke the words like a prayer.

His eyes were wide when they met hers. For a moment, surprise edged out the pain. "I-"

"I didn't say it for an answer. I just want you to know. When you come out he other side- you can know that I love you."

He kissed her lips softly. "I'm not going anywhere."

She kissed him back. "You're already gone."

When morning came she listened to the sound of his bike start and fade into the distance.

And when she fell asleep again she dreamt he returned: whole again.

Ready to love her.

The End

Thanks to Shelly for your kind words… Even though I don't go on with this- I can tell you for sure he doesn't regret it later. )

Kim- you have come and reviewed all my stories, and I love it when I see them. I always panic if you haven't popped up in awhi;e (oh no- I better step up my game).

So thank you!

Rita- I have to repost some of the 3rd chapter 'cause I want back and damned if I know when they kissed. Oops.

Thanks for paying enough attention to point that out to me. D

Tabby- You are a total Liason fan. The time you spend connecting with people and leaving us long encouraging reviews is heroic. Thanks for always including me in your enthusiasms.

Melanie- thanks for taking the time to review some of these chapters not once but twice!

It means a lot coming from someone whose stories I have always loved.

Underscored- you are someone else that I check for every time I put up a new story. Thanks for taking the time to review every chapter of this and to urge me along in general.

I know it's a cliché- but it means a lot to me.

Luv2rit- I have to say that I loved getting a "please continue" from you- after I've left so many begging you for more.

Makes me all fuzzy.

Liasonfan1—Thank you SO much for taking the time to put in something specific that you loved. Twice! It makes the review so meaningful to me! I hope there was something in this chapter that did it for you.

Mssnay- I'm sorry this didn't have a "hot crazy smut" scene—I chickened out. I might put one over at adult fan fiction—and I'll be sure and let you know if I do. ; ) It's great to get reviews from someone with two very original stories… Hey – speaking of updating…

Julie—Crazy disappearing girl. You keep sending me that AMAZING story to read and then… silence… Do you know what it's doing to me? DO YOU?

Well- I'm glad you came out of hiding to say nice things to me. ) I better get another chunk from you soon- you hear me?

PlumCrazyRangerBabe- I agree that ther is something very wrong with GH these days. Everything they do is – well – OFF somehow. Thanks for telling me what you though tof the story.

AnniGH4ever—Hope I answered some of your questions! Thank you!
