NC-17
Chapter 3
Sarah's head is spinning. Johnny is kissing his way down her stomach and she has no idea how he had gotten her dress undone, but she didn't care because what he is doing feels extraordinarily good.
As he eased between her legs and attacked her clit, she yelled his name, not even knowing what to ask for, but needing him to send her over the edge. This was the most she had ever done with a guy and she was in no frame of mind to tell him to stop. "Oh God! Johnny!"
He grinned against her and then plunged a finger inside of her and Sarah's hips jumped off the bed as her body tensed and with a shrill scream, her body shook as Johnny eagerly lapped up her essence.
As she lay boneless, he jumped up and started to take off his jeans when he finally felt the phone vibrate.
Grabbing it, he read the text from Francis as his eyes grew. "Shit." He looked at Sarah and then the phone and then back at the woman he had really wanted to bury himself inside and groaned. "Damn."
"Johnny…," she muttered.
He climbed next to her and pulled her against his chest. "Go to sleep, Sarah."
She moaned and cuddled into him as her body still tingled from his machinations. "So good," she purred as he mentally talked himself out of jumping her.
It was pure torture when, right before passing out, she rubbed her hands all over his chest. Finally, her breathing changed and he stared at the ceiling, wondering how the hell the gorgeous woman lying next to him had made it this long without having an orgasm.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
Jason pulled off Elizabeth's shoes as she her glassy eyes lazily tracked his movements.
"You okay?"
"Uh —huh."
He arranged her on the bed and their eyes locked.
"Stay with me."
His jaw clenched. "Elizabeth…"
"I just don't want to be alone."
After a long silence, he took off his boots and got up and turned out the light. Elizabeth shifted over and Jason and laid next to her. When she cuddled against him, he almost groaned. Apparently she had no idea that he couldn't get what happened at Jake's out of his mind and lying next to her is pure torture.
"Jason?"
"Yeah?"
Summoning up all her liquid courage, she blurted out, "Since you're sleeping in my bed, don't you think you should ask me out?"
A smile slowly lit of his face. "Is that what you want?"
"I want what you want."
His eyes had adjusted to the darkness of the room, so he lifted her chin so he could look into her eyes. "Will you have dinner with me tomorrow night?"
"Is it past midnight?"
He glanced at the clock on the nightstand. "Almost."
"Okay."
"Okay about the time or the date?"
"Both."
After another minute passed, he adjusted their position and she sighed contently as she found a comfortable spot. When her breathing evened out, he tried to think of a place to take her. It had been a long time since he had planned a date and wanted to make it good for her.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
The next morning, Sarah's eyes blinked open and she groaned when upon surveying her surroundings. When she realizes that she isn't in her bed, she bolted up in a panic only to find herself partially exposed and the horror set it. "Oh my God!" Quickly she snapped her bra back together as she fumbled for the buttons on her dress.
A shirtless Johnny appeared in the doorway. "I brought you some coffee."
Memories started to flash in her head and she turned bright red and averted her eyes.
Johnny quickly moved across the room and put the cup down and then sat next to her. "Sarah."
She started to cry. "Please tell me we didn't have sex. I was trying to wait until I found someone—oh God. I—" Memories of the orgasm slammed into her head and her whole body jolted and her eyes snapped to his.
"Nothing else happened. We fooled around and then—"
For a long moment, she searched her memories. "You told me to go to sleep. Why?"
"As much as I wanted to go the next step, I got clued in and stopped it before it could go further. Were you that drunk?"
She nodded.
He knew she was tipsy, but she had been the one to initiate contact and she seemed coherent or he wouldn't have pushed forward.
"I'm so mortified."
"Don't be. We had fun. You didn't do anything to be ashamed of."
She brought her knees up. "You saw me naked."
"Mostly… You're beautiful, Sarah. I'm not going to apologize for being attracted to you, but I'd never knowingly take advantage of you."
She sighed. "You probably have girls come on to you all the time."
"Sometimes, but you'd be surprised how little I get out. I work a lot and mostly sleep when I get time off. Even when we go out, we're usually in a big group and just like to be left alone."
Her brow rose. "Seriously?"
"Yup."
"Then why me?"
"You didn't really give me a lot of choice." He grinned as she turned red again. "Face it, Sarah, you are smoking hot and smart on top of that. It's a nice change." The alcohol made her say some pretty dirty things to him, which is why she ended up pressed against the wall.
She brushed her hair back. "I'm not a prude."
"Trust me, I never got that impression."
She playfully smacked his arm. "Behave. I've never admitted this to anyone, but when I was in high school, someone tried to force me to be with them and it scared the shit out of me. I got away and just stayed away from men and focused on school."
"You wanted to have control. I get it. I'm sorry I botched your plans."
Reaching up, her fingers touched his cheek. "Don't be. What you made me feel last night was incredible. I didn't know it could be like that and—thank you."
"Will you go out with me?"
She grinned. "Yes."
"We'll take it slow and see if we want to move forward."
"I would like that."
"Good. You get the shower first."
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
Elizabeth watched Jason sleep and what a beautiful sight. Peacefulness enveloped him and when his long, light brown lashes started to flutter, she knew she was caught.
"Morning…"
She smiled. "Good morning. Did you sleep okay?"
"Yes." It was the best night's sleep he had in a long time. "How long have you been awake?"
"Probably a half hour or so. Did I really force you to ask me out?"
Jason grinned. "I only do things I want to do. You didn't have too."
"Would you have asked me if I hadn't pushed, because I don't want you to think that you have to go out with me. I mean, I'm sure you get plenty of dates and don't want to go out with someone like me. I—"
"Elizabeth…"
"Sorry, I ramble a lot."
She is a mystery; one he can't wait to unravel. As she spoke, he memorized her expressions and mannerisms. Her lips are perfection and he really wants to suck on one—badly.
"Jason?"
He snapped out his haze. "I want to go out with you. I wouldn't have asked if I didn't mean it."
"Okay. Do you want some coffee?"
He nodded and stood. "I'll just go use the bathroom."
The door to her bedroom flew open and a stunned Audrey attention went from Jason and then to Elizabeth and back again.
"Grams! What are you doing home?"
"I—Who are you?"
"I'm Jason Morgan."
Audrey frowned. "Lila's Jason?"
"Yes. You know my grandmother?"
She grinned. "We are thick as thieves. Why don't you come downstairs and get some breakfast?" While she had never met Jason before, Lila had filled her in to some degree.
"Thank you. I'll be right there."
When Jason disappeared into the bathroom, Liz jumped out of bed and pulled her grandmother into the hallway.
"Well, he is very good-looking, dear."
"Grams! I had too much to drink and he brought me home and nothing else happened."
"Not even a kiss?"
Liz blushed. "No!"
"Didn't you want to? He is certainly easy on the eyes."
Liz buried her face in her hands. "You are killing me."
Audrey chuckled. She is all for Liz moving on from Patrick and if Lila's grandson is the one to help her, then so be it. "I'll go start breakfast."
Liz moved back into the room and soon Jason appeared.
"Is she mad?"
"No. She could possibly be planning our wedding and names of future grandchildren as we speak. Mad? Not even close. She is absolutely giddy which is way scarier."
He chuckled. "Am I safe to wait for you down there?"
"Only if you have a china pattern in mind," Liz said before disappearing into the bathroom.
Jason laughed and decided to take a chance and joined Audrey in the kitchen.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
She was walking on air as she served them breakfast. "So, Jason, you're a fire fighter, right?"
"Yes ma'am."
"No need for such formalities."
Jason took a bite of the quiche. "This is really good. You think you could teach me how to make it?"
Liz thought Audrey was going to explode with pure joy. It almost made her gag, but the food was too good to waste. As her giddy grandmother practically gushed over Jason, Liz couldn't help but think that the person who had served them could not be her grandmother. She will have a DNA test done later if Grams doesn't return to her former self asap. What kind of cruise did she go on anyway? The words giddy and Audrey didn't even go together in the same sentence.
"You know how to cook?"
"Well, we all pitch in and I'm in charge of breakfast."
"I would love to assist you. I could teach you there if you want."
Jason smiled. "Here is fine." He wants an excuse to see Liz whenever he can.
"Very well…"
Liz dropped her fork. "Unbelievable."
"What dear?"
"Sarah and I have begged you for recipes for years and you refused to give it to us, but Jason asks once and you suddenly want to play Martha Stewart?"
"Perhaps if you're nice to him, he'll let you in on the secret."
Jason gazed at Liz hoping she isn't mad, but when he saw the twinkle in her eyes, he smirked.
"Perhaps you need to make us a chocolate soufflé to make it up to us."
Audrey fought a smile. There is no way she'll be teaching her granddaughters how to cook their favorites because she knows that no matter where they live, all she has to do is tell them she making them and they will come running. "Well, maybe you'll get your soufflé after you've gone on a date with Jason."
Liz head tilted. "Unbelievable…"
Her pager went off as did Jason's and he whipped out his phone and dialed and she grabbed the house phone and did the same.
Audrey watched them curiously and finally they turned towards the table.
"Four alarm fire at a warehouse by the waterfront."
"I have to go to the hospital. They are expecting injuries and are short-handed."
"Be careful and it was nice meeting you, Jason."
"Nice meeting you too."
Liz grabbed her keys and purse and they headed outside.
"I'll call you later," Jason said as he stood near her car door.
"I'll look forward to it."
She started to move inside, but his hand stopped her and before she could reply, his lips brushed against hers and then pressed down twice before he jogged towards his bike. She held her fingertips against her lips for a second and then a grin completely lit up her face.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
The hospital is organized chaos as victims started pouring in with smoke inhalation and burns. The stream of workers seemed like it was endless and Liz couldn't help but worry about Jason.
Epiphany yelled out commands as the more severely injured were examined first.
A man ran into the room. "The roof collapsed, they are flying in some firemen who were hurt; one severely."
Liz's heart dropped. "Jason. Where are you?"
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
Jason had cleared the doorway of the warehouse as he carried a wounded worker when the overburdened roof collapsed. As he struggled to maintain the panic that arose when he realizes that his best friend is not behind him, he gently laid the man down on a gurney and then the paramedics took over.
Slowly, he turned and then sprang into action, running towards the flames.
"Jason!" Sonny yelled. "Stand down."
His Captain's voice didn't even register as he yelled Johnny's name. A blast came from the rubble, blew him backwards and he hit his head on something hard and saw stars.
Sonny held him down when he tried to get up and yelled some commands to the other men.
Max's heart is practically pumping out of his uniform as he screamed his brother's name. Several fire departments are on the scene and they are attacking the flames the best they can, not knowing what exactly is burning yet.
The air is thick with ash and smoke as Jason is dragged onto a gurney.
"His pulse is strong," Dante said as he lifted the back of the gurney into the ambulance.
Jason starts regaining consciousness and begins to fight against them and Dante and Finn have to restrain him.
"Jason, you need to calm down or you'll have to be sedated."
Finn slips into the driver's seat and eases the ambulance through the maze of fire trucks, cop cars, and curious civilians.
After Jason yells Johnny's name, Dante puts an oxygen mask over his face.
"I need you to breath in the good air and try to slow your pulse down or you're going to pass out again."
Jason's fists clenched as he tried, but it was no use and soon the blackness enveloped him again.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
Johnny drags Milo through a broken out window and onto the ground as another crew spots them.
One of them yells and they race towards them with a back board.
"A beam fell on him and partially hit me. I had to move him. He hasn't regained consciousness and has been out for about ten minutes."
Johnny bent forward with his hands on his knees trying to gulp in fresh air. His head is covered in sweat and dirt and his eyes are watering from the smoke.
Someone hands him a water bottle and he pours most of it over his head and then gulps down the rest. When he stands up again, he wobbles and someone supports him and helps him move to the front. He's exhausted and running on fumes. Between the heat, carrying Milo, and stress, his body is overtaxed.
Sonny takes one look at him and directs him to an ambulance. "You're going to get checked."
"Fine…"
He rides to the hospital with Milo and gets some oxygen on the way as wonders what happened to Jason and the other men.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
When Jason is bought in, there is a flurry of activity as Monica rushes towards the gurney.
"What's wrong with him?"
"There was a blast and he hit his head."
Her eyes widen before she glances at Elizabeth who is finally moving after she had momentarily froze. "Call Dr. Drake."
Liz nods and runs to the nurse's desk and picks up a phone and pages Noah.
"He had a head injury before. This could be serious," Epiphany said softly.
The nurses have no time to chat when the man Jason had rescued is wheeled in with burns and smoke inhalation. It took an hour before the last victim had arrived and been assessed. They are all dead on their feet after working an extra long shift.
Epiphany hung up the phone. "Jason is awake."
Liz smiled. "That's great news."
"That boy must have a seriously hard head. I swear his skull is made of carbon fiber."
Sonny overheard her and laughed.
"Hey, Sonny..."
"Hello. How is the patient?"
"We're waiting to get an update. You look really tired."
"It was a stressful situation. Have you heard anything about Milo?"
"Since you are on his emergency contact list, I can tell you that he has a medium grade concussion, some cuts, and a bruised back. You're going to lose him for a while so he can recuperate."
Sonny ran his hand over his slicked back hair, at least he'll recover. "And Johnny?"
"He's flirting and cocky as usual. I think he'll live. We took some scans, I'm sure we won't find anything in there."
He laughed at her tone. "Where is he?"
"Bay three."
Sonny hurried there and when he strode into the room, Sarah is fussing over O'Brien.
"Hey, how is everyone?" Johnny asked.
He gave him the breakdown.
"We got lucky." It had been a shit show inside the place and there will definitely be some fines handed out and maybe some more serious charges considering that safety clearly was not a priority.
"The Mayor wants some heads. He'll want several businesses in the area inspected too." He turned towards Sarah. "Can I take him home to get some rest?"
Sarah sighed. "I guess. I'd rather keep an eye on him, but—"
"You can keep an eye on me if you want."
Sonny had to look away to hide his smile.
"Really? I mean, I get off in about fifteen minutes. You can rest at my apartment if you want."
"Can we stop by my place so I can shower?"
"Sure."
Sonny smiled. "I guess you are in good hands. I'll go check on Jason."
"Tell him to stop faking and get off his ass. You can only hit your head so many times before something falls out."
"You really think I'm going to relay that entire message?"
Johnny laughed. "Please?"
Sonny shook his head and muttered as he left the room.
"No matter what he says, I'm his favorite."
