Chapter Thirty-Five
Isabella had already put the boys to bed and it looked as if she expected her employers were going to want a night alone. On the kitchen table a note relayed that Alan was sleeping in his bassinet in Isabella's room and Cameron was camping out on the floor in a little tent she had set up.
"Remind me to thank her in the morning." Jason said as he scooped Elizabeth up into his arms and headed up the stairs to their room.
When they entered the room, even Jason had to suck in an extra breath. The bed was covered with white roses petals, while white calla lilies were placed throughout the room in beautiful vases. Candles were the only illumination, but there were so many candles, they banished all shadows.
A large red arrow was placed on the floor pointing towards the bathroom, so they did the only thing they could and followed the directions left for them. Jason pushed the bathroom door open, it to had been decorated to set the mood. The large tub was filled with what looked like milk, but one could still see the steam rolling off of it, there were flower petals floating in there as well. And candles were lit in here as well, casting an ambient glow. Plush blue velvet like towels rested on the counter with a very skimpy negligee set to one side.
On the counter sat a note, Liz picked it up, seeing as how she was still in his arms and began to read it aloud.
Dear Jason and Liz,
We know things have been rough the past few months, we wanted to give you a night without interruptions, where you could focus on nothing but yourselves. We don't need to know details, we just want you to enjoy yourselves. There is champagne in the mini fridge an chocolate covered cherries. Carly told me to tell you there is something a little extra in the night table on Liz's side. She believes you will know what to do with it.
Love your friends…
Jason set her down on her feet, at a complete loss as to why his friends would have done this for them, but thankful nonetheless.
"What do you think about all this, think they are hinting we need a romantic night to get busy." Liz asked a smile twinkling in her eyes.
"I think that is exactly what they are trying to tell us. Although why it's any of their business…" Jason said a smile on his face as well.
"Well, perhaps, but I think it is rather sweet, but now I say enough talking, time for some action." Liz said, her desire palpable.

Lucky sat beside her the entire night, sneaking superstitious glances at her fat belly, where his child may lay.
He thought about everything that had led him to this place in his life, and he honestly couldn't remember the last time he felt remotely content. Even now his thoughts were jumbled but once again he was placing the strain of his happiness and his remaining clean on the shoulders of an unborn child.
Finally a dreary fatigued stole the last vestiges of wakefulness, holding his head in his hands, he submitted to it, allowing the darkness to completely take him, he fell through the stages of sleep and directly into a nightmare.

Sam finally found some semblance of peace as she slept, her earlier nightmares had been banished, at least for the time being. Whatever the reasons, she was grateful for the small reprieve.
She came awake slowly, she was still tired but she felt like she had a better control of her emotions, at least for now.
She saw Lucky drowsing in the chair, a small tug of her heart left her wondering why she was drawn to him. He was wealthy or stacked with muscles, he was good looking, but he wasn't the proverbial bad boy either. For her she tended to flock or obsess over the not so good guys, more than likely why she ended up getting hurt all the time.
Lucky had his problems, still does have some of them, but in all honesty, he seemed like a guy a girl could fall for, who knows, maybe she was losing her mind. As for Jason, he was the epitome of the original bad boy, but he never intentionally hurt anyone who didn't deserve it, he was smokin' hot and had a heart of gold.
Nevertheless, Sam had pulled her trademark foolishness and lost the best man that had ever walked into her life, stupidity just one of her flaws.

Sonny lounged on his couch, the brunette in his arms looked fantastic. Idly he wondered what people would think, seeing as how everyone would get to see her at the wedding.
A small smile touched his lips causing his dimples to surface. "What are you thinking about?"
"I was thinking about the note you had me write, for Jason and Elizabeth. The man I know wouldn't have done something like that, but now, it's obvious you have changed." The woman said, holding firmly to his hand.
"You'd be surprised I am sure, but really though it has more to do with the pills I am taking to control my affliction. Jason is like a brother to me, he has stood by some of my more questionable dealings and never flinched. When he found out he was going to be a father, I could see a light begin to burn, it was like all this time I have known him, he was a shell, and there is some truth to that, but once he found happiness…" Sonny said, as we was cut off.
She gently moved closer, allowing his arm to tighten on her. Their lips met, and it was as if the earth moved. For them, time stood still, when he took control over the situation, things heated up more. The kiss turned passionate, demanding and before either of them could stop what was happening, they were on the floor, relishing in the uniqueness of each other.

Jason slipped the dress from her shoulders, allowing the garment to pool at her feet. His breath caught when he saw what she was wearing underneath, nothing.
His hands roamed over her shoulders and down her arms. His thumbs brushed delicately against her breasts, before his hands traveled further down her body, stopping superstitiously at her stomach, he looked in wonder at how her body had completely transformed back to it's lithe form. There were small indications that she had had a child recently, but they were so minute.
He slowly knelt down, so that his head was aligned with her stomach, he placed a kiss their, silently hoping she was already caring a son or daughter, but also hoping that tonight they could make memories and perhaps start on the beginnings of life.
Tonight would prove to be a tale of grand proportion, if a child was conceived this very night, then the happy couple would have a wonderful tale to tell their child in later years, of course some, if not most of the details would have to be tamed down or perhaps skipped over entirely, no point in scarring the kid.
Her gentle hands delicately slipped over his exposed skin, leaving trails of liquid heat to bloom, then expand in rapid succession. Her hands fisted in his hair, gently pulling to raise his eyes to hers. The hunger he could see in her eyes stole his breath, desire and longing seared into his eyes, he found he could not break the contact that their eyes held, he was lost in the sea of her passion and would happily forfeit his life to quench some of her longing.
Her pink tongue darting out to moisten her bottom lip, rocked him to his very core, he could feel his own desire's rising to the forefront, but squelched them down to bask in her for a few moments longer. When his hands slid down to her hips then lower still, he eyes glazed over with want, it was all he could take, he quick stood up, claiming her mouth with his. Delving deeper into her velvety warmth, tasting the distinctness that was all Elizabeth, vanilla with a hint of peaches, she was, is intoxicating, and slowly the last vestiges of control slipped.
Her hands played havoc on his body, all he wanted was to be seated within the searing heat of her center. Over and over again he wished to show her the love he felt for her and the encompassing, mind-blowing effects she had on him.
When he could stand her tender explorations no longer he picked Liz up and placed her in the warm water.
His ministrations had left her breathless, his hands could draw desire from her, like water from a tap, it took sheer willpower to control herself most times, now was a night that she wouldn't have to worry about control, they could do whatever they pleased. And if she had anything to say about it, she was going to take all the time she wanted to show Jason, just how special he was. She planned on using all her feminine wiles, to make him beg for sweet release.
