Lucky gave a low growl from his deep pleasure of kissing her so erotically. It made him hard for her and that was the last thing he expected when he first came to see her tonight. But he was glad he did because he was giving them a second chance. Lucky thought the same of Sam - that she was an amazing lover and thought they melded well together. His hands ran up and down her sides as he continued to kiss her passionately.

Pulling away from his lips, Sam's cheeks were rather flushed as she just couldn't believe how hot she was becoming. He could make her feel so many emotions with just one, sensual kiss. The way that it felt for him to kiss her felt like she was floating on cloud nine.

"Lucky, you're driving me mad," Sam blushed, sliding her body gently into his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck, yet once again.

Lucky grinned at her response. Her body becoming so much closer to his fueled his attraction and desire for her even more. "You drive me mad, too," he told her, "in a good way."

Sam never ever imagined that after her almost dying from the car impact hitting her, she would be here in his arms. Running her hand up his cheek, she gave him a smile, and she ran her tongue across his bottom lip. "Lucky, are you sure that it's me that you want?"

Lucky gave her question little thought. It was true he was still somewhat mad about what she did, but it was last summer, and she was obviously remorseful. But her question did make him think about her motives to be with him this time around. "I don't think I could want anyone else. But this time has to be about just you and me, not some sick ploy to get back at Jason and Elizabeth. I want this to be about us, not them."

As she looked at him in deep thought, Sam could only hope she could get his trust back. "I haven't been that cold or mean like you think I am---was, Lucky." Sam looked away from him, feeling the tears in her eyes, starting to think he didn't even want to be with her. What if this was payback or something? She wasn't sure if she could handle that.

Lucky could tell she was starting to pull away from him, and he didn't want her to, but at the same time, he needed to know her intentions were true. "Maybe not, but you were just with me at first to mess with Jason and Elizabeth. I just need to know that it isn't about them anymore." He hoped it wasn't because being with her was only about what he wanted and it had nothing to do with Jason or Elizabeth for him.

Pushing him off of her, she sighed as she looked at him. She really couldn't believe her ears and the tears in her eyes told him that she was upset. After telling him she had loved him, he still believed her, and she wondered if they even had a chance at love. "I can't believe what I am hearing from you, Lucky. I have told you since you been here that I've changed. Maybe being together wasn't--- isn't a good idea if you keep asking me the same question."

He ran a hand through his hair in frustration. Making it work between them was going to be hard. "You keep saying you've changed but I just want to make sure you mean it, that you want to be with me because of me, not other people. I'm sorry if I keep needing reassurance, but I thought you would understand better than anyone. You got your heart broken just like I did."

"You just keep asking me the same, damn question, Lucky. I don't on intend of us getting back to how we used to be but if you keep wondering, we're not going to make it through this," Sam sighed, plopping back against the back of the couch, her head resting against the soft couch. "I just want--- never mind, Lucky."

Deep down, he knew she was right and wished this all hadn't been so complicated but nothing was simple anymore. He looked at her seriously, "No, say it. What do you want?"

Tears began to spill down her face and Sam washed them away with the back of her hand. "I just want you to love me. Forget the past. I just know that's not possible. You can't--- won't forget it because I am such a horrible person. You just can't even find it in your heart to even understand. It had happened so fast but that doesn't give me an excuse for hiring those guys."

"Can you honestly blame me, Sam? What you did hurt Elizabeth which you knew would hurt me because I'm always gonna care about her. She was my first love, you don't forget your first love. And she was my wife, I can't just forget everything that's happened," Lucky explained his reasoning to her. He couldn't forgive and forget as fast as she could.

Standing up, she turned her back to him, and she wrapped her arms around herself. She felt more alone than she did when she Jason and her broke up. It felt like her world was shattering to a million pieces. Turning to Lucky, she placed her hands on her hips "I just have to realize that you're going to love her. You don't see Liz as the cold bitch that she is. I will always come second to Liz no matter what!"

She was putting up her walls again and Lucky knew it. He thought they were getting somewhere, but he knew that was all going to hell. "Hey, I was mad at Elizabeth too for what she did but I forgave her because she was only trying to protect Jake. She wasn't being selfish or manipulative like you were. And yes I'll always love Elizabeth just like a part of you will always love Jason but that doesn't mean I don't want to be with you."

"I don't love Jason anymore," Sam grumbled, glaring at him as she stared at him. "I really did think that we could go back to the way we were or at least try, Lucky, but I don't think it would work out. I was with Jason, you were with Liz. You share custody with her and Liz, you, and Jason wouldn't even want me near them. Don't worry about that. I wouldn't even come near any of you." Just saying these words, her heart was breaking.

"I thought we could, too. Don't you see I was trying to make sure it was about us this time so we weren't setting ourselves up for failure? I want to believe that you would never hurt Jake or Cameron, but like I said, it's going to take some time," he told her with a sigh. Lucky was starting to think it was better if he just got over her if this was going to be so difficult.

Sam looked away from him as she walked out back, walking out, standing by the big Jacuzzi. She felt like she could never get anything she ever wanted. She just didn't think he even loved her and boy did that kill her since she didn't think he was going to trust her ever again. "I like those little boys even if they are Liz's. She's a good mother and I'm just jealous, I guess..."

That all made sense to Lucky since he knew how badly she wanted to have children of her own. He could tell how much it hurt her inside. He walked out back behind her but didn't get too close to give her space to breathe. "I can tell you care about them and I'm grateful for that. I know you could be a great mother someday. I'm trying to see that you've changed, but forgive me if I can't see that all in one night."

"I know, Lucky," Sam said, sitting on the edge of the Jacuzzi, rolling up her leggings, closing her eyes as she rubbed the bandage that was wrapped around her leg. "I just... hate that I can't even give birth to a child of my own. It's just.. not fair. I never ever get what I want. First, I lose my brother, then finding out from the gun shot I can't give birth, and now... you."

Being there by the Jacuzzi reminded Lucky of the good times they had there like the first time they slept together. He wanted to have more good times like that with her but he knew they needed to work through their issues first. "Nothing's ever fair. I want Jake as my own son but he's not so I'm hurting like you, too. But you made that hurt not be so bad. When I was with you, Sam, I felt appreciated and wanted. I hadn't felt like that with Liz in a long time."

Sam lifted her head from the ground and she blushed as she heard his words about the comment about Liz. "R-Really Lucky? I always thought you deserved the best and I always wanted to give you that ever since I discovered my feelings for you, Lucky. All I want is for you to be happy."

A smile crept upon Lucky's lips as he heard her words and he only felt the same about her. "Yes, I had to face it that Elizabeth didn't love me as much as I loved her the 2nd time we got married. She was already in love with Jason and she was so distant towards me in our marriage. I could always sense something wrong then you came along and I finally felt happy again. You made me happy, Sam, and I wanted to make you happy, too. Still do."

Taking a deep breath, she licked across her bottom lip. Sam was sitting sideways with one of her legs in the water and she looked at him with a pout coming over her face. "I hated that she married you because she thought you were going to go back to the pills. It's like she couldn't trust you, Lucky. I just hate all of this started to begin with."

Taking a few steps towards her and sitting besides her on the edge of the Jacuzzi, Lucky could tell they were finally getting somewhere. "All things happen for a reason, I believe that. I hate that all those terrible things happened too but if they didn't, I may have never gotten the chance to be with you."
