All I Ask of You

Chapter Eleven

She could not believe it. Lisa had cried so long and so hard that the tears had stopped coming and she was now left shaking with silent sobs as she awaited Jackson's return. It had been at least an hour since Jackson had gone to get dressed, and Lisa was beginning to wonder just how vain he really was. In the lavatory on the plane, she had seen him fix his hair and suit before he even acknowledged her, but she had simply written it off as him showing her how low of a place she was is.

"Lisa, are you finished with the crying?"

The sound of Jackson's voice caused her to jump and she looked up to meet his gaze. She nodded slowly and he smiled.

"Good," he said, "Now we can get down to business." Jackson slowly came around the bed and stood next to her, Lisa shivered under his gaze as he looked down at her through the canopy.

"W-what business?" she stammered crawling to the other side of the bed, trying to avoid his gaze. It did not work. Jackson merely climbed onto the bed with her. When she tried to step from the bed, Jackson grabbed her around the waist and rolled over so that she was beneath him.

"This business," he said producing a small diamond ring. "You, Leese, are going to be my lovely bride," Jackson grinned as Lisa face constricted into a look of fear.

"No, no," her whispers were barely audible as she stared at the ring that dangled in front of her face. She trembled violently beneath him and tears slowly began to leak from her eyes again.

"Ssh, Leese, Ssh," Jackson tried to soothe her.

" Jackson, please, don't make me do that." Lisa begged, she could feel a sob working its way up her throat and she tried to keep it back. However, when Jackson began to stroke the side of her face with palm of his hand, she found herself trembling even more violently then before.

"It won't be so bad, Lisa, waking up next to me in the morning, making love to me." Her eyes widened and she shook her head vigorously. The trembling had stopped for a moment to be replaced with anger.

"I wouldn't make love to you if you and I were the last people on Earth," Jackson merely smirked at her as his hands slowly found their way to the end of his dress shirt that she was wearing. He gave the shirt one good tug before his hands quickly went to work on the buttons.

"You know, Leese, you have some very loyal friends, that red head wouldn't even break you and Ian up to save her life." He said as his hands stopped working, one more button and her shirt would completely open to him. Jackson smiled and gently moved the fabric away from the smooth skin of her stomach, the tips of his fingers lightly scraped her flesh causing her gasp. He dipped his head and began to plant light kisses across her stomach and Lisa began shake again. "One day, Lisa, a child will be in there," he looked up at her, "You will carry my child." Lisa closed her eyes tightly as he continued to plant kisses along her body.

Breathe in… breath out…

Ian mentally practiced the breathing exercises that his ex wife had been taught when she was pregnant with his son. He had never thought that he would be using the technique, but at the moment he needed something to keep him breathing. It did not happen often, but when something took over his mind, such as a problem, or his fiancé going missing, he would forget to breath. The last thing he wanted to do right now was pass out from lack of oxygen.

Rickler slowly turned the corner onto a road with sign that said 'HATCH' in large words. A slow grin danced across his lips as he searched out house 1019. Finally coming up to it, he stopped briefly, examined the large white house before he moved on, and parked around the corner so Rippner would not suspect anything.

Glancing at the clock, he realized it was almost noon. Rippner would be expecting someone to come after her at this time. Ian debated waiting until morning and let Rippner settle a little bit with Lisa before he came in on his white horse, but he was not about to make Lisa spend a night with that bastard.

He would save her….

…Come nightfall…
