He heard the voice and he swore under his breath…but he didn't jump away from her. Instead he gazed into her eyes and slowly eased his body off of hers. He saw her blush and get flustered as she began to re button her jacket as he slowly turned around. He didn't even look at him at first just grabbed his shirt and held it in his hands.

His voice…the instant mood killer…one minute Jason was placing scalding kisses over the column of her throat and now he was here looking at them in multiple stages of undress. She supposed she would have been worse off if Jason wouldn't have looked at her blue eyes blazing and made her feel like everything was going to be alright. He then turned around shielding her from the prying eyes of their voyeur.

Jason licked his lips and pulled on his t-shirt. "Sonny" is the only word her uttered. And then the man they both once called their best friend started ranting on them. Jason stayed in front of Lex his arm protectively draped around his back over her torso. He listened to Sonny's tirade and didn't let himself get emotionally involved until Sonny had the audacity to ask if screwing Alexis was payback for Emily…at that moment Jason snapped and looked at him with an icy glare and explained how sorry he would be if he didn't shut up.

She watched them argue…the man she once loved verbally attacking the man who was steady becoming a very important part of her life. Once Sonny started talking like he was a deciding factor in their relationship she tuned him out…but there seemed to be something off about him…she didn't know what it was but she became worried when she saw his hand tremble. Then he turned to her and asked in that little boy voice she knew so well, "do you really hate me this much?"

Sonny looked at Alexis and spoke…Jason felt a tremor shoot through his body and he spoke for Alexis…tried to explain things…but Sonny just stared at her like their eyes were locked in a connection. When he turned back to look at Alexis he noticed that she was also staring at him…and Jason felt like the odd man in the room. Sonny noticed Jason staring at her, and it was like he snapped out of the trance and puffed his chest once more and left.

Jason turned to her and she sighed. There was something different as he saw the tears in her eyes. He couldn't quite explain the feeling that came about…jealousy? He wasn't sure, but he knew that seeing her and Sonny caught in a moment didn't sit well.

She smiled at him…and she felt like crying…how was it that four years later Sonny still got to her? She pushed it to the back of her head and turned to Jason hoping he would console her…but when she turned to him he met her with a gaze he had used before in the interrogation room…detached.

He needed to get out…needed fresh air. So he said a quick goodbye and practically ran out. When he made it to the docks he stared out into the water for a long while until he heard a familiar voice. There Liz was a smile adorning her face. Usually he wasn't much of a talker, but somehow the words just came spilling out…he talked of Sam…but mostly he talked of her…he told Liz how it was so unexpected; he didn't even know he liked Alexis, and now he wanted to be around her all of the time. When she asked him what was wrong he couldn't even explain it...was he jealous…and if he was what did that mean. Liz uttered famous last words before a quick hug, "I think it means you are falling for her" she whispered in the sea sprayed wind before walking away.

Alexis was dumbfounded when he left…he just said he had to go and went off. Just when she thought they were coming to a good place he went and reminded her why she had swore off men after kicking Ric out…she didn't understand what had happened, and she replayed it in her head…that is when it started to make her mad. She had a mind to go over to his Penthouse and tell him off.

He was sitting on the couch thinking when Richie knocked and opened the door and announced her in. He watched as she walked in and dismissed him nicely…he had forgotten how she knew how to handle things at the Penthouse. Before she started to verbalize her hands began to talk for her…when he smiled she seemed to get even more heated.

She walked in to tell him off and he smiled at her…that little grin he had that only came out once a quarter…but this time instead of being cute she found it insanely infuriating. Until he grabbed her and kissed her, and suddenly things didn't seem so important.

He didn't know what about her face just caused him to grab her and place his lips not so gently on hers. His mouth crashed and he relished in they way she wrapped one leg around him. It was in one swift movement that they fell upon the couch together, her straddling his lap and kissing him with a wild abandon.

She was mad at him, mad, very, very mad…and yet what he was doing to her juggler suddenly made her forget why exactly she was mad. When they fell back to the couch she took control…And as quickly as she did his shirt was off and she trailing kisses down his jaw when she felt vibrating. She popped up surprised and told him that she thought his pants were ringing.

He couldn't help but smile; when she told him his pants were ringing…he was willing to ignore it but she popped off of his lap and reminded him it may be important. It wasn't…not entirely, Michael needed some help on a project and Carly was working and Sonny was MIA…so he agreed to meet him. He apologized as he walked her out.

Before they parted she remembered why she had come, "we still need to talk" she told him and he nodded.

She went home to an empty house…Nikolas had taken Kristina for the weekend to visit with her new cousin John, and Molly was with Ric. Luckily she had been able to avoid contact by having Viola drop Molly off. She was tired of him, tired of this divorce, just tired.

When he arrived at Carly's he found out why Michael had called him. There he, Leticia and Morgan were sitting in a pile of baking soda and vinegar that had exploded out of the makeshift volcano. He actually had a lot of fun with the boys that night…but he couldn't get her out of his head. So when he left instead of driving home he rode up to a lake house that daily was beginning more and more familiar. He remembered the girls weren't there for the week and he saw the light on in the front room so he decided to knock.

She was sitting with a glass of wine, a bowl of popcorn in lounge pants and a tank top reading some law magazine…actually she didn't know what she was reading because it was just sitting open on her lap. She didn't know why this was bugging her so much, but a part of her wanted to march right back to that penthouse…partly to yell at him, and partly to finish where they started…and then she heard a knock.

She didn't expect to see him standing there his hands in his jean pockets. She quickly invited him in, offered him a drink…he declined but just kept standing there gazing at her. She hated when he did this; it made her feel like a circus animal….

So she started to talk, asked him why he left; started getting upset again. She tried to explain how she thought they were coming to a good place, but then he just shuts down on her. She started to get loud, and rant about men. Suddenly he burst out with the question of the hour.

"Do you still care about Sonny?"

He didn't know what made him say it…jealously, anger, his attempt at trying to push her away…but it simply burst forth from his mouth. She didn't even let a second go by before she shot back.

"Do you still care about Sam?"

While his question was asked angrily; hers was just above a whisper…she knew that it would get his attention. Of course she cared about Sonny…he was the father of her child, the only time she led with her heart, and as much as she couldn't stand him sometimes…she knew she would always care for him.

He softened when she asked the question…of course he cared about Sam…he supposed he always would. He never thought that maybe that was the same way she felt for Sonny. He realized there was so much he still didn't know about her…their pasts had defined them, and still he had yet to really know her past. Sure he knew what Carly had said, but Carly was never known for her unbiased recaps of the past. So he asked her.

She was surprised when he asked her about Sonny…and she softened. There was so much they still didn't know about each other. So she sat down and she talked about her and Sonny…she didn't even feel the tears came until she felt his finger wipe them off.

When he asked about Sonny he didn't really know how much she would open up…but when she did it spilt forth from her…he wondered if she had ever talked about this before…he was glad she shared it with him…and when the tears came he gently wiped them away and wrapped his arm around her to which she leaned into his chest. He closed his eyes and breathed in the sweet scent of her hair.

She felt his arm snake around her and she let herself get lost in his touch. She laid her head on his steady rising chest. His warmth enveloped her and she wondered how she had come to this place with him…where just being around him steadied her in a way that she hadn't felt for a long time. So she closed her eyes and was lulled by the sound of his heartbeat.

He woke up in the night and her chestnut hair was splayed on his chest. He smiled; she looked so peaceful when she slept. However his neck was aching and he couldn't help but think that she would be more comfortable in her bed. So he swooped her up in his arms and carried her to the room. He had never seen the master suite but when he opened the door he saw the huge sleigh bed adorned with burgundy sheets.

She felt him pick her up and while she would usually freak; she instead just let herself feel. She loved the way his arms felt around her…the comfort…the safety. And when he put her down on the bed she knew she didn't want him to go.

He laid her down and looked at her, he kissed her on her forehead and turned to leave, but he felt her grab his arm. When he turned around he saw her toffee colored eyes staring at him sleepily. "Stay with me?"

She felt his lips touch her forehead, and she felt him pull away…so she reached out to him and touched his arm. When he turned she saw his beautiful blue eyes gazing back at her. She smiled and asked him if he would stay. He gave her that grin that was back to being adorable and took his shirt off and climbed in next to her.

He stripped his shirt off and climbed in behind her wrapping his arms around her in spoon position. She scooted back into him until you couldn't tell where his body ended and hers began. It was there he felt the smooth skin of her arms and felt her body mold to his, and there he fell asleep.

She awoke early and they had turned to where she was laying against the hard planes of his chest. When she looked up she was surprised to see his eyes already open gazing at her. "Good morning" he told her sexily leaning in to kiss the tip of her nose.

He loved the way she looked in the morning, and while he would have been content to stay in bed all day she announced that she had court that morning. So after a few breathless kisses she walked him to the door and let him go.

She didn't want to go to court, but maybe it was safer that way…because if she stayed in bed with Jason Morgan she couldn't guarantee they would be sleeping at all. When she walked into the courtroom she knew it was going to be a bad day when she saw Ric's smug look from the opposing counsel. While the court case ended well; she saw him following her through the halls, and walked into the elevator and closed the doors. He handed her a file, "don't think I am not going to contest this divorce."

He went to the warehouse first to pick up some files and then headed home. When he walked in Carly was sitting on his couch and wanted to know where the hell he had been all night. He covered talking about the warehouse, but she got that funny look on her face and he knew that she read through him…she stopped asking questions; probably because she really didn't want to know. Then she started ranting about Nikolas and he stopped listening somewhere in the middle, and he started to think about her…the way her body felt next to his; her hair in his hands. And then Richie announced her in.

She went home to change and then she started to look through the file…she couldn't believe that Ric was doing this; he was actually going to contest the divorce when he was screwing her daughter. She felt frustrated and there was one person she wanted to see.

He saw Carly's reaction to her in blue jeans and she made some comment about Alexis not being able to harass her since she resigned as DA. But the reaction to Jason asking her to give him and Alexis a minute was even worse. She glared at Alexis, kissed Jason's cheek and left.

She rolled her eyes at Carly…but she wasn't concerned about her right now, and when she left she spilled everything about Ric. She didn't even notice how close he was until his arms came around her. How was it that he made everything better?

He pulled back to stare at her, and he hated Ric even more if that was possible…he wanted to help her in someway and he knew the way he could.

She saw him look at her fire in his eyes and offer a solution to her problem, "let's go down to the Dominican Republic" he told her.

An hour later accommodations were made for the girls and they were on the jet in route to the Dominican Republic.
