Chapter Fifty-Six

Elizabeth smiled a secret smile. It wasn't very often that Jason let his guard down enough to do something so uncharacteristically. These moments when he did something so out of the ordinary surprised her and yet, warmed her heart.

The whole trip back to Port Charles was made, in near silence, that is, the last part of the trip, because there had been some talking to begin with and then the fabulous, moonlit sex. Elizabeth's head rested on Jason's very naked thigh. The motion of the car and the surrounding warmth, lulling her into a deep sleep. Taking comfort from the very fact that Jason was close by and willing to protect her, no matter what!

Jason on the other hand was going positively bonkers. Her warm breath, feathering against his thigh, the accidental brush of her fingers as she moved slightly, against his growing arousal.

She was going to be the death of him, but what a sweet death it was going to be. The way her hair tickled his leg when she moved, was something else as well. If you had asked him, if he could be turned on by hair, he would have thought you mad, but the silky strands tantalized him, offering a promise of something better, something, he seemed to long for all day long.

Unwittingly Elizabeth's pert pink tongue danced out to moisten her lips, the small action sent a surge of heat to his loins. But no sooner did he precariously grasp his sanity, than Elizabeth turned slightly, her hand moving beneath his leg, almost as if she planned to hug his thigh, and once again, her fingers touched his most sensitive organ. Unable to help himself, Jason groaned in anticipation, hoping that just maybe a repeat performance from earlier that night, might be had…

Jason was finding his concentration wavering, watching the road suddenly seemed less and less important, but with a determination and a mental shake, Jason managed to keep his eyes on the road. Although, every few minutes, he allowed himself a quick look at the beauty laying unencumbered, a vision if ever there was one!

Ten minutes outside of Port Charles, Elizabeth awoke, feeling some what refreshed, she placed a tender kiss to Jason's cheek before buckling herself back in.

"What's up with you?" Elizabeth asked, her eyebrows quirked, her smoky eyes just relishing the answer she knew had to be coming.

Jason groaned out loud, rolled his eyes and then answered, "You my dear, even in sleep are a vixen, insatiable to say the very least, or perhaps you just like to drive me near to madness."

"Oh, no… What did I do?" Elizabeth asked, a crimson flood filling her cheeks.

"When we get home, I will show you exactly what you did. It is time for payback." Jason said, impishly. "I love you!"

"I love you too, but…" Elizabeth said warily, suddenly wondering what Jason had in mind.

"No buts darlin', your torture begins when we reach home!" Jason said, not willing to give an inch. Thus ending the conversation.

As Jason pulled into his parking space, his cell phone rang.

"You answer that and you might as well sleep in the garage!" Elizabeth said, glaring hotly at Jason.

"What if it's work or Sonny?" Jason asked innocently.

"I don't care! We have been through a long and grueling night, a cop who is insane has somehow escaped, and knowing the way my luck has gone with ex's and psychos, he's probably on his way here, to mutilate me or something. You my dear are mine. Two weeks, you are retired, the only person you are going to see, is me! Don't get me started if you know what is good for you! I am hormonal, stressed, tired, horny and starving, I am the woman who is carrying your child, I am the woman who is going to be your wife, understand one thing now, it's you and me, your work WILL wait! Got it Mr.?" Elizabeth said, her finger jabbing into Jason's shoulder with each point she made.

Jason tried his best not to laugh, but the stern look on her face and her petulant voice, was just too much. He should have known better, as soon as the laugh escaped his lips, Elizabeth's small delicate fist was planted in his eye.

At first he was shocked that she had done something like that, then the laugh that was cut short bubbled from his lips again, but this time, he didn't make a fatal mistake. As soon as the laugh escaped his lips, he captured her arms in his hands, drawing her closer to him, his lips taking possession of hers, ending her anger and her next punch.

Elizabeth was angry, but those fluctuating hormones changed so quickly that one moment she was seething with anger and then almost instantaneously boiling with desire.

While their lips were still locked, Elizabeth leaned over Jason, pushing the button to move his seat backwards. With that done, Elizabeth climbed onto his lap, giving his mouth more attention, while her hands caressed the hard plains of his chest and the sensuous muscles of his arms.

Sonny tried Jason's phone again, figuring he might not of heard it the first time, but as the insipidly useless thing went to voicemail once again. Sonny hurled his phone at the wall.

Why was it that when he needed Jason, the man always seemed to be unavailable. Jason was his best friend, but he was still his employee, he should be available at all times.

Disgusted that he ruined his phone, Sonny pestered Alexis for the use of hers.

"Why should I lend you my phone, your own stupidity cost you yours!" Alexis said.

"Can we not get into this tonight, we were having a good night ,or morning, whatever you prefer. But this is information that Jason needs to know. Please?" Sonny said, flashing his trademark dimples.

Not wanting to ruin the rest of their alone time together, Alexis handed her phone to Sonny, offering a simple warning, "You wreck my phone, I wreck something that is much more valuable to you!" As she said it, she looked pointedly at his thigh, which her hand was currently massaging.

Sonny's audible gulp was heard, he was momentarily speechless. With the utmost caution, he gently keyed in the numbers to Max's cell, hoping that the guard was still on duty.

"This is Max, what can I do for you?" Max said, forgetting to look at the phone and see who was calling.

"Max!" Sonny shouted into the phone, but his voice became much softer as he was unfriendly squeezed. "Have you seen or heard from Jason?"

"Umm, sorry boss, I haven't seen him. But weren't you going up there to find him?" Max asked, his brow furrowing as he contemplated the question.

"I did find him, but after everything that happened tonight, he headed home." Sonny said, his temper rising as he was forced to explain himself.

"Okay… Do you want me to call you if I see him?" Max asked.

"No, why would I---I'm just calling to shoot the breeze. Of course I want you to get him to phone me." Sonny yelled into the phone.

Max continued to walk into the garage, moving towards his vehicle. Out of the corner of his he noticed Jason's vehicle sitting in its custom spot. "Hang on a moment boss…"

"Now what is it?" Sonny barked.

Max ignored him for a moment, walking towards the vehicle. Once he was about five feet away, he stopped, movement inside instantly put him on the alert. With lightning quick reflexes, he pulled his gun from its holster and began to move more cautiously.

If he was a man easily scared, his heart would have jumped out of his chest when Elizabeth's head popped into view of the windshield. Nevertheless, he must have said something, because the phone squawked in his ear.

"What are you doing?" Sonny asked, his tone of voice was a little calmer, but only because Alexis was once again threatening his thigh muscle.

"Umm, Jason and Elizabeth seem to be back!" Max said, a funny look crossing his face.

"Well, don't just stand there, give him your phone." Sonny replied.

"I think you are going to have to wait boss, he seems to be a little busy at the moment."

"Busy, busy doing what. Max do what I pay you to do and get him on the phone!"

Max took one last, furtive glance at the vehicle, looked at the phone in his hand, then set the phone on the hood and walked away. He knew he would probably regret that move, Sonny would more than likely fire him, but between losing his job and losing his sight along with his life, the decision was simple… The job could be replaced, his life, not so much.
