Xander stood in the door seething at the very sight of them together. The way he kissed her and touched her and talked to her. It wasn't her it was what she meant; Elizabeth Webber meant that he could no longer hurt Jason Morgan. She had guarded him with her virtue and her strength and her love and it made him so sick to his stomach. He wanted to lash out at the woman in his brother's arms shielding him from the pain he so deserved.
-Hello brother dear did you miss me?-
-I guess now that I'm done with her she runs to the one she didn't want.- Jason said to his brother.
Both Xander and Liz blinked at him. This was the Jason Morgan he didn't want her to see the SEAL that went to great lengths to take out his enemies the big bad. Xander looked at the women in his half brothers arm looking up at him like some god. The big bad couldn't stop his words no matter how hard he tired.
-You're so easy aren't you Elizabeth. Jumping into bed with him even after all the things he's done. I mean how does it feel to know you're used goods he got second hand.-
She didn't even blink she turned to him and smiled.
-Believe it or not Xander I've missed you're voice.-
This time Jason looked at her stunned.
-Did you?-
-Yes, I mean the last three days have been moving so fast I thought I was dreaming. And as I recalled when I got lost in dreams you always brought me back to reality. Now I know that I'm here with you're brother and we've have been together for the past two days. Making love, having sex, fucking…what ever you want to call it to make it sound how ever you want to make it sound. Just remember Xander you lost power over me a long time ago. So I'm going to ask Kevin to drive me home so I can get changed and see Jason for lunch.-
She walked up to Xander; she kissed his cheek and smiled at Jason. Jason blinked after the woman and looked to his brother. Xander turned no longer hiding the seething hatred he felt for the man.
-I guess I have to find another means.-
-Brother you've lost twice already.- Jason sighed waving his hand at the cough.
-You're out Xander don't let her fuck it up.-
-Mother has always been good to me.-
Jason snorted.
-So good to get you put in jail.-
-You did that.- Xander snapped.
-I wasn't going to let you get away with murder brother dear. Even if you got away with rapping Elizabeth.- Jason snapped back.
-I can't believe how much I'm going to enjoy destroying it all.- Xander said waving his hand around.
-Don't bother it all yours.-
-What?- Xander said in shock.
-See that unbelievable woman out there, the one who gave up a good part of her life for two ungrateful bastards, us. I want to make sure she get's every thing she wants. Besides the pain I would like to inflict on you for rapping her, you where always a better businessmen then me. I'm retiring Xander I'm out, but I need to make sure my people are taking care of. You can't use them to hurt me, you know it and I know it, so you get the business I never wanted, free and clear. I get to piss mother off by doing this and by keeping Elizabeth it's a win win for both of us.-
-How so? What makes you think I want what you've built?-
-Xander we both know why this started. Your loyalty to that viper is only for money. You won't need it anymore. She put you in that jail just as easily as I did, but you would never be so stupid as to insure her wrath while dependant on her. Now you're no longer dependant on her.-
Xander always thought his brother was a meandering idiot. All brawn but no brains it was clear Jason wasn't, yet another thing to resent him for…but the truth was on the table. Going after Jason was in fact a past time, it had started with their mother Monica watching half brothers make peace and beginning to get close, she set up a situation where that would all change. She chose of course Jason over him and thus he ended up in jail. Rapping Elizabeth was bonus for his mother, but Monica had never found out and thus couldn't enjoy it. Xander looked out the window to be free of his mother was defiantly worth the cost of taking on Jason's company.
-If you fired my people as you're free to they get good deals on the way out. That's all that I ask.-
Xander looked at his brother.
-Free of mother, tempting; continue to torment you, boring, taking this company farther then you ever could, good. Oh yeah brother dear I'll take the job.-
-Good one more thing.-
-Someday, long time from now, I will kill you for rapping Elizabeth.-
-I expected no less. I look forward to it. I assume you will remain a silent partner.-
-Of course, you make good money, why be stupid?-
-And mother?-
-I've cut her off Xander…maybe you should to.-
Jason got up and walked to the door.
-I'll announce it at the company ball. But its official as of now, I need to be with Elizabeth.-
-Did she know about this?-
-No.-
-Good luck with that.-
He knocked one the house door; she opened it with a smiled.
-Hi, I was coming to meet you.-
-Well now here I am.-
-Okay what happened with Xander?-
-I gave him the company.-
Liz was holding something at the time and dropped it. Jason picked it up and put it down taking her hands into his.
-It had to be done.-
-Wa…wa why?-
-My mother and you.-
-What?-
-You never knew the details around the murder but my mother orcastraed the whole thing. She was always manipulating us bidding us against each other. Her actions lead to that murder, she chose me and she thought she have better chance at power with me. So Xander got the short end.-
-So if she chose Xander over you, you'd be the one in jail for murder?-
-No, I don't let her get to me the way Xander used to.-
-Used to?-
-She could drive him to such violent acts and enjoyed watching it. But soon discovered Xander wasn't the idiot she thought. After the murder he cut her off, she tired once to get to him again, but he sent to her packing. Monica didn't like it at all. This will give Xander his freedom.-
-Hmm…Monica is going to be the problem.-
-You're not upset?-
-Not really like I said he can't hurt me anymore.-
Jason kissed her pulling into her arms. Liz watch his eyes turn dark with need and something else that dangerous side the SEAL that he like to hide from her.
-Let's skip lunch.-
