Chapter Fifty-Seven
Jason caught movement at the front of the vehicle, but no sooner did he recognize the person as Max, than Elizabeth squirmed in his lap, grinding herself a little more forcefully against his growing erection.
Unable to offer Max more than a single thought, Jason once again focused his attention on Elizabeth. Her lips trailed over his neck, only to pause often to nibble upon his earlobe. She used every womanly wile she had and then some. She could bring him to the brink of madness, and then cruelly pull him back, soothing his growing need to feel the completeness of their joining, she teased him, yet never before had he ever been so pleased.
Blunt nails blazed a trail of fire over his chest and abdomen, but no sooner did she inflict the pain than she was soothing it with her lips and tongue, pulling from him a desperate groan, impatience and longing tearing at him, demanding he slack this unbearable desire, while his incomprehensible longing to wait, to hold back, make her suffer, like he had suffered, raged almost as powerfully.
Unable to take the torture any longer, Jason slowly entered her, once fully wrapped within her velvety heat, he breathed a shaky sigh of sheer relief and pleasure. They fit so well together, he wondered how he ever thought sex with other women, was good. Elizabeth put them all to shame, she didn't just give her body over to the experience, but she pulled your heart and mind in as well. Offering you a greater taste of bliss, of heaven. It wasn't sex, that's why it was so different, they were expressing love in the most fundamental way they knew how. He knew he had thought this before, but his body all but demanded that he experience this act as often as possible.
She knew how to work him, perhaps she always had. There was something about her that could steal his senses and twist his insides up, but it was a wonderful feeling. No one else ever understood him the way she did, she gave of herself one hundred percent. And somehow, even after all that Lucky had done, she had emerged a stronger woman. Perhaps he spoke too soon… The thoughts no sooner formed than he felt the warm wash of tears on his shoulder.
"Elizabeth, what's wrong?" Jason asked, suddenly very worried.
Instead of answering him, she tried to move out of his grasp, he felt the exact moment when she tried to pull away from him, it was like she was trying to forcefully separate everything about them. Not just their joined bodies, but their hearts as well. He suddenly felt like he was back at the beginning, back when she wouldn't or couldn't trust him.
Elizabeth couldn't explain where the emotions came from, one minute she was enjoying everything they were sharing and the next, her chest felt tight, it felt like the small confines of the car were growing smaller, ready to squeeze the life out of her. She didn't understand why this was happening, but she couldn't deny that she was suddenly terrified.
Jason didn't know what to do, but instead of giving in to the fear that was threatening to stop his heart, he instead wrapped his arms a little tighter around her, drawing her closer, needing to give her the same comfort she always gave him.
"I love you Elizabeth, please tell me you know that!" Jason said.
A small nod was the only answer he got, it scared him, because now she was shaking like a leaf.
Months of feeling like a prisoner had finally caught up, everything that Lucky had done and had hoped to do, had suddenly hit her. The fact that even now, some sick cop was probably trying to find her, wanted to hurt her, wanted to defile everything pure she had managed to obtain with Jason.
When would it stop, when would Jason and her finally get a reprieve, they deserved it, after everything they have had to weather. But instead, she had to continue to look over her shoulder, she had to wonder if the stress she was constantly being forced to deal with, would end up hurting or killing her child.
How would she survive if she lost this baby, if she lost the baby, would she loose Jason as well, was their happiness tied to the fate of their baby. It was all too much, living in such a high state of anxiety had finally caught up, drowning her in the power, the weight of it all.
Jason still didn't understand, figured he wouldn't until she spoke, but instead of asking pointless questions, he just held her. Right now, that was what she seemed to need, he knew she needed more, but right now, that was enough.
"Don't let go!" Elizabeth said, when she felt his arms loosen for just a moment.
"I wouldn't think about it." Jason replied, placing a kiss to her forehead.
"Jason, what happens if all this stress hurts our baby, or if I lose it, will I lose you too?" Elizabeth asked, her voice almost a whisper.
"You can't lose me, and you won't lose the baby. Through thick and thin, without you, my life is without meaning. Trust in my love, it's not going anywhere."
"I do trust in it, but what about the cop, how much can two people be expected to bear. It's just not fair."
"Do you believe that I can protect you, our family?" Jason asked, almost scared to hear the answer.
"I know you can! You have always been my rock, I wouldn't be sitting here if it wasn't for you. You saved me, my heart, my soul and gave me so much more than I deserve. Because of you, I can hold my head high… Can we chalk all my nonsense babbling up to the fact that the past twenty-four hours have been like walking on glass, with brief moments of relief, given to me by you!"
"You give me too much credit, but thank you." Jason replied, not really knowing how to respond to such praise, but suddenly feeling like more of a man than at any other time in his life. She gave him the benefit of the doubt, she trusted in him, was strong enough to question his ideas when she felt like she needed to, but generous when she knew what he was saying was right. Yes, she really was the perfect woman, perfect for him.
Without even realizing it, she slowly began to move, gently trying to spark the flame of desire. Her fears that felt crushing before all but melted away. Unsure how he did it, but knowing it was just like he always managed, using his calming voice, his strong embrace, offering her a safe haven, even at times, from herself.
Momentarily thrown, Jason wasn't sure what to feel. But soon it didn't really matter, he was once again lost to the power that Elizabeth evoked within.
"I love you!" Elizabeth said, her face clear of all doubts and fears.
"I love you so much. You okay, really?" Jason asked, unable to help himself.
"I am, the next time I get a little wonky, just wrap me in your arms and remind me I am being silly. Will you believe me if I say it was just hormones and a very long day?" Elizabeth asked.
"Holding you in my arms won't be a problem, getting me to stop might be the problem." Jason replied, capturing her lips.

Sonny sat next to Alexis, his anger having not dissipated, but instead gained a greater force. Michael "Sonny" Corinthos, was not a man who was used to being denied, the fact that his business partner and best friend just happened to be ignoring him, and at such a crucial time, only enraged him more.
Pulled from his thoughts by a rather hard right punch to the shoulder, Sonny quickly looked at the woman who had delivered, said punch. "What" he said, slightly angry.
"After the night, day… we just had, are you telling me you are going to sit there and mope the whole way home? I've seen toddlers with better restraint." Alexis replied, offering him a slight smile.
"Are you calling me childish?" Sonny inquired, the petulance in his voice sounding quite similar to that of a child's unhappy wailings.
"No, you are not a child, but like all men, you do have a tendency to go overboard, which sometimes comes across as childish. Sonny, Jason has a life of his own, soon he will be married, not to mention he is bringing a child into this world, can you not give the man a break, especially after everything he and Elizabeth have had to endure?" Alexis said, trying to dance around the fact that she did think he was being childish, but in her current mood, she really didn't need him getting angrier, she was the one stuck with him…
"I think you are the first woman who has ever been able to drive me this crazy and still all I can think about is jumping you!"
"Yeah, it goes with the territory, I'm a chick magnet!" Sonny said, his dimples flashing in the neon glow of the dashboard lights.
'Ha ha ha, umm…yes---yes you are!" Alexis said, glaring straight ahead. She knew if she looked at him, all sense of propriety would be lost, and knowing her luck, she would offend him so badly, that he would never wish to speak to her again.
Instead of saying anything, he decided to say nothing, he knew what game she was playing at, and this time, perhaps for the first time ever, he knew to keep his mouth shut.

"So are you really okay?" Jason asked, nibbling softly upon her neck.
"I am, call it a momentary panic attack, a woman who has gone through everything I have in the last few months, and still retained her mind, is a good thing, so a small panic attack, I think I can live with, especially when I have someone as great as you to stand by my side." Elizabeth said, tilting her head even more, offering an even great expanse of her neck. "You know, when you do that, my heart speeds up and my knees get weak."
"You don't say and is there anything else that effects you so strongly?" Jason inquired.
"Yeah…Everything you do! You make me like putty, bend me, twist me, do what you wish, I am yours in all ways." Elizabeth said, but a crease marred her forehead. "Okay, hang on, that sounds really… Well bad! You know what I mean, right, you do know what I mean…"
Jason couldn't help smiling, her babbling was endearing, it reminded him that so many years ago, this woman who happened to be a young girl at the time, ignited a spark within his chest, and had managed to keep it steadily ablaze. A small, simple touch, a innocent smile, even her quirky babbling, they all offered him at the time, a glimpse at what his future might hold, and now that they were a couple, expecting a child, now he knew his future was completely and utterly combined, tied and secured with hers. The joys of loving a woman, especially a woman like Elizabeth!
"I think I might be catching something from you, because for some reason, I understood that." Jason said, deciding enough talk had been had, his lips descended, more force, but even more passion inflicted this kiss, drawing her deeper, giving her a glimpse of the heaven she so readily showed him.
So caught up in the moment, Jason forgot about his phone ringing earlier, forgot that Max had been in the parking garage and some how, out of all of that, even forgot that they were in said parking garage, acting like two very horny and uncontrollable teenagers. That is of course until, a resounding knock echoed upon the window and Mac Scorpio's face appeared…
