Sweet Surrender

A/N: Five months after the terrifying ordeal that took place on the Red Eye, Jackson Rippner decides to check on his girl. Jackson/Lisa

I know it's been a bit since I updated last, but with the week I've had, I wasn't able to even check my email. My job has me working every day and then I have to get my car repaired and boring life stuff keeps happening. So I am saying 'fuck it all' and working on my story. Thank you for your patience!

Keep reviewing and I'll keep writing…

Lisa tiptoed through the house on a secret mission. She tried to walk as quietly as possible while sneaking up on her target. Lisa couldn't suppress the smile that formed. This would be like a sweet revenge.

"Leese, you can't sneak up on me," Jackson said not bothering to look up from his laptop. He was sitting out on the upper deck facing the beach and the sun was setting. It was a beautiful scene, except Jackson chose to work.

"Say cheese," Lisa called out. And that was all the warning Jackson was given, before she snapped a picture of him on a cheap disposable camera.

"Lisa where did you get that?" Jackson asked, setting down his laptop and then successfully snatching the camera away from her.

"I bought it earlier today when I went for the romantic stroll along the beach, alone, without you, because you have to work," Lisa said bracing her hands on her hips. She tried most of the day to get Jackson to join her, but he never left the house.

"Why did you buy this?" Jackson asked looking disgusted with the camera.

"Because I wanted you to have pictures to decorate your place with," Lisa explained softly caressing his face.

"Lisa, I don't want pictures of me," Jackson replied, tugging on the hem of her shirt to pull her closer.

"Maybe I do," Lisa said reaching for the camera. Jackson made sure to teasingly hold it just out of her reach.

"You want pictures of the me?" Jackson asked doubtfully. "Well what do I get in return?" he asked a slow smile creeping across his lips.

"I'll give you a kiss," Lisa offered with a small smile.

"I could easily steal a kiss from you. Try again," said Jackson smirking. He was enjoying this game they were playing and he wondered how far Lisa would go for a picture.

"I'll be your friend," she suggested.

"You're already my lover. I think that is past friendship," Jackson replied. He loved the way she blushed and avoided eye contact. Holding her chin in his hand, Jackson fixed her with his unflinching stare. "Does the term lover make you uncomfortable, Leese?" Jackson asked studying her face.

"I've never, I mean nobody has ever, you know, called me their lover before," Lisa stammered over the sentence and said the last part very quietly.

Jackson leaned in and tasted her lips, savoring the moment. The flash of the camera surprised Lisa and Jackson smiled at her running the pad of his thumb over her bottom lip. Lisa smiled and kissed his thumb.

"Lets go take that walk on the beach," Jackson said after a moment of silence.

Jackson and Lisa looked like any regular young couple in love strolling along the beach. The sun had set and now the moon cast a soft glow on the shore.

"Why did you get into your line of work?" Lisa asked. Her fingers were laced with Jackson's.

"When I was eighteen my temper was a lot worse then it is now. I got into a fight with a man at some bar and I stabbed him to death, slowly. I needed to disappear and this man approached me and said he liked my work. He offered me a new life and I accepted," Jackson said trying to see what Lisa's reaction might be.

"And now you manage other troubled youth, like Shane," Lisa surmised. "It would be sweet, except for the part where you kill people."

"You know that I have never lied to you, right?" Jackson asked out of the blue. "Some lies are necessary in my line of work, Leese. I hope when the time comes you'll understand," Jackson said very seriously.

"What are you talking about? You're scaring me Jackson," Lisa looked at him with such inquiring eyes.

"No matter what, don't doubt the way I feel about you," Jackson said softly.

"And how do you feel about me?" Lisa asked holding her breath in anticipation.

"Wave," Jackson said, Lisa looked confused, right before the ocean drenched the pair. Laughing Jackson grabbed Lisa and walked further up the beach and away from the water.

"So what do you feel like doing tonight," Lisa asked wrapping her arms around Jackson's waist for warmth.

"I was thinking we could take a nice long hot bath and then we could go to bed," Jackson replied kissing the side of her neck and letting his hands roam over her body.

"I guess there is a reason you are a manager, you have good plans," Lisa smiled before kissing him and pulling at the buttons on his shirt.

The couple didn't make it to the bathtub; they made it as far as the stairs before they indulged in their need for one another. It was some time later that they finally made it to the bathtub and then finally to the bed. Lisa always had a way of messing up Jackson's plans, but in the end things usually seemed to turn out for the better.

Please review? Let me know I am loved.

Thank you to every one who takes the time to read my little story!

Ok, so sex on the beach was requested in nearly every review. But I thought sex on the stairs of the house by the beach would be better showing their lack of impulse control for each other. Sex on the beach may come later, but then I think about all that sand and how it would get EVERYWHERE. It doesn't really seem that sexy to have sand in your crotch…

BregoBeauty: I figure the man has got to have more then enough money to own a bunch of different places. Although, I only put Jackson's apartments in coastal places because I know nothing about the middle states.

Hidden-rose15: lol! Sex on the beach, eh? We'll have to see about that one. Thank you for your review!

Julia Reis: I am glad you thought my story was funny. I have an older brother who gives me these crazy ideas.

Dave-The-Laugh's-NewHotness: thank you so very much! I hope you are enjoying my little story.

Ozmee: I don't know! But it's a fun ride!

Lana: hey I am glad you chose to review, thank you! I swear I don't bite. Reviews make going to work less crappy.

Playnirvana24: I didn't mean to make you think of Burt. I'm sorry! But I am glad you still like my story, means I'm probably doing something right.

Suddenwhim: bunches of thanks for you review!

OopperanKummitus: Ah yes! Nothing like an obsession, but at least you are not alone. I read every Red Eye fanfic and when that wasn't enough to feed my obsession I wrote my own fanfic. Except I have to be very careful to not have Lisa use Buffy speak, which I am fluent in.

Again lots of love and adoration to everyone who reviews!
