Chapter 3

They had been at it for hours, to find something, anything that they could on the good Dr. Lisa Niles, but have come up empty. Sam had called Aidan to come down to her office so that they could run a background on her. They found nothing, no crimes, no felonies, no misdemeanors, hell not even a slap on the wrist. In high school she was a popular kid who got straight A's, she had recommendations from five different teachers all praising her on a job well done, basically securing her way into a good college. In her college years, she took all the advanced classes, got straight A's and still found time to party with the rest of the crowd. They figured that was where she met Patrick. So how did this popular straight A student now doctor turn into some psycho bunny boiling bitch? No one knew. Sam knew firsthand how jealousy and desperation could turn you into someone you don't recognize, someone you hate and didn't think you would ever become. The only difference is, is that Robin was not some home wrecking slut who got pregnant with Lisa's fiancé, Robin and Patrick had been married, long before Lisa blew her psycho ass into town and together, out of that love, they created a precious baby girl, Emma.

Having found absolutely nothing at the office, Sam decided that a comfortable atmosphere and some food would help them relax and keep the tension away so that their minds would be able to focus. She called Spinelli and told him and Aidan to come back to her apartment so that they could go with the next phase. Hack…. Link into hospital security. Between the three of them, they each had their own laptop, Spinelli had set up Sam's to bounce from camera to camera on each of the floors along with the stair wells and exits. On Aidan's laptop, Spinelli had set up a search to keep track of any purchases that Lisa made using her credit cards or accounts. So for the past couple hours, laptops along with Chinese takeout were littered across Sam's coffee table. They just hoped that they would be able to find something soon before they took more drastic measures. And just to make sure that Robin was safe, they made her call in every hour just to let them know that everything was fine. That was something that Aidan stressed, he needed that reassurance, Sam understood, she knew that he wanted to keep his cousin safe the same way that she felt about Danny and her sisters.

"Well, the Jackal has done all he can for Fair Samantha and Aidan PI. If the Jackal is no longer needed, then he shall retire back to casa de Stone Cold in order to see to the Divine One's needs." Spinelli said as he packed up his things and headed for the door.

Rolling her eyes, Sam spoke up knowing how him catering Brenda's needs annoyed Jason. "Hey Spinelli, instead of catering to Brenda's needs, maybe you should cater to Jason's."

Perking up at the thought of helping out his master, Spinelli couldn't wait to ask to hear the answer that would open Stone Cold up to the young hacker. "What does Stone Cold wish of me? The Jackal would do anything for his master, I am but a student seeking his master's guide."

"He needs you to quit playing a servant to Brenda and find the Balkan." Seeing the defeat in his shoulders, Sam knew what kind of pressure he was under. Weeks of searching brought him nothing but dead ends and Sam could see the stress rolling off of her partner as well as Jason. "I know you're doing all that you can Spinelli, and that's all that Jason asks of you. But can you please dial this whole 'Divine One' thing down a notch and just do what he tells you to do, no talk back and no arguments. Please…"

"Is Stone Cold upset with the Jackal?"

"No, not really upset, but he does think that you are not taking his orders seriously. He thinks that you're too busy running around town for Brenda then you are searching for the person that's threatening her life."

"The Jackal feels most ashamed with this distressing news." Standing up taller and squaring his shoulders, Spinelli was determined. "No worries, I shall fly home and do the duty that my humble and most loyal master had graced upon me." He turned and almost ran out the door.

Seeing Adian shake his head at the poor kid's exit, Sam wondered what he was thinking. "What?"

"That kid is weird, half the time I have no idea what he was saying. How do you do it?"

"You get used to it after a while." She said shrugging her shoulders.

"Are you going to tell me how you acquired such a rare gem?"

"Oh shush, he's a really good kid, great with computers, I mean look at this stuff. Hopefully we'll be able to find something on here." She went back to focus on the camera that was monitoring Lisa updating a chart at the nurses desk. Now Robin said that Lisa will only be in the hospital for another hour, and that was half an hour ago, if we don't find something on her that could incriminate her, then…"

"We break into her home and see what we can find." Aidan said finishing her sentence for her. Sam was looking at him with a puzzled expression and he needed to make her understand his situation. "Look Sam, I knew this isn't going to be easy, and if we have to break the law, believe me, I have no problem doing it, I just want to be there to help you search so that we can finally bring this bitch down before someone gets hurt." Seeing her nod in acceptance, Aidan could feel that sudden tightening in his chest, he never thought that he would be able to feel something so soon and so fast especially after meeting her earlier that very same day. The body heat from her sitting next to him was engulfing him and he really wanted to fully submerse himself in and in her, but it was still too fast and way too soon. He would just have to sit back and wait patiently for her boyfriend to fuck up before he made the move.

Hearing the door open, Sam tore her gaze away from the monitors to look up, a bright smile on her face from seeing Jason enter her apartment. She still had a hard time calling it home, the penthouse was the first home she had ever had and hopefully when Brenda leaves, it would be her last home. But one thing at a time first. Having put the argument from earlier away, Sam stood up and approached him. "Jason! Hey!" She stood on her toes and gave him a nice lingering kiss, hoping to warm up the ice that she saw in them when they landed on the other man at her apartment.

"What's going on here?" Jason finally regained his control after almost losing it at seeing the cocky bastard looking all too comfortable in his girlfriend's home.

"Spinelli linked up into the hospital security cameras so that we could watch Lisa right here. The office was getting too uncomfortable so I offered to move our stuff here to work on." She pulled him behind the couch so that they could view the cameras from a safe distance away from Aidan. "We have Robin calling us every hour to make sure that she is safe and to give us a head's up when Lisa leaves for the day." On cue, Aidan's cell phone rung, no doubt it was Robin. She waited to give Aidan a chance to speak to her before they closed up shop for the day.

"Ok, just be safe and I'll see you in a little bit." Aidan said into the phone before he hung up, and stood to turn to the two behind him. "That was Robin, she said that Lisa left for the night and Robin is on her way home as well. She invited me over for some drinks, so I'll be there to make sure she's safe." He picked up his jacket and laptop and headed for the door. "I'll give you a call tomorrow, goodnight Samantha." Choosing to ignore Jason, he blew her a kiss, knowing that this all was annoying her deadly fiancé.

"Goodnight Aidan, thanks for coming over, I'll see you tomorrow." Sam said as she disentangled herself from Jason and headed for the door. After locking up, she turned back to the blue eyed man she loved so much. "So…"

"I really don't like that guy." Not giving her a chance to reply to his comment, Jason jumped in. "Look Sam, I'm really sorry about earlier, I know how much you really care about your job, its just that it makes me crazy to think that your putting your life in danger."

"Robin came to me Jason, what did you want me to do, turn her down, tell her that my boyfriend said 'No' because he thought that this was too dangerous. She was desperate and I can't do that to her. Come on, you know you would do the same for her."

"You're right." He nodded in her assessment, knowing that she was absolutely right, he would do it to help Robin out, or any other friend for that matter." Holding her soft hands in his, he lifted them to his mouth and softly kissed them. "Just please be careful, and call me as soon as you need anything. I love you Sam and I couldn't bare it if anything happened to you."

"I love you too Jason." She wrapped her arms around his neck as their mouths met for a soft gentle kiss. "Only you . You are the only man that has ever accepted me for who I am, flaws and all and I will spend the rest of my life loving you, always."

At her words, the possessiveness Jason had always felt for Sam raged to the surface. Raw, primal arousal burned inside of him, hotter than ever before. Everything inside of him cried out for her, needing her, wanting her, not just her heart but her entire being. Pulling back, he spoke what was in his heart. "When I look at you, I don't see flaws, I see perfection. You are perfect Sam, perfect for me. I love you and I belong to you for as long as I live."

As he spoke the words that Sam always wanted to hear, she could feel the warmth coming off his body where they touched. It became a blistering heat that swirled in the pit of her stomach and shot down to her very core.

"Say it Sam, say that you belong to me too, only me." His was strained and husky, it sounded like it was taking all his power to control his body from attacking hers.

"Yes Jason, I belong to you."

The moment the last word left her mouth, he descended his lips directly over hers. She gasped at the sudden contact, giving him full access to thrust his tongue into her accepting mouth, moving, dancing, stroking along hers. She could feel his heat radiate off his body and through his shirt, but she needed more, she needed to feel him. Stepping back for only a moment, she grabbed the hem of his shirt and ripped it over his head, tossing it aside, not caring where it landed. Her hands immediately found the smooth expanse of his chest, running the palm of her hands up and down, side to side, catching his small nipples with her nails, making him hiss in pleasure. She loved this feel of him, smooth, strong, powerful. Needing a taste of him, Sam leaned down and licked a path from his navel to his neck, stopping to suck and graze each nipple with her tongue teeth along the way. She could feel his hands on the small of her back, lowering to her ass, gasping at the feel of his strong hands kneading her flesh through her jeans, she wished she was naked, she knew that it would only be a matter of time. He pulled her to him, grounding her hips to his as they made their way to her bedroom.

At the foot of the bed, he slithered his hand between her legs and played; the fabric of her jeans created a dizzying friction, her legs opened wide of their own accord. She pulled back from his kiss and moaned at the delicious feeling. He took advantage and leaned his lips lower to her neck, sucking and gently bighting the sweet flesh into his eager mouth. Everything in her flared to life, suddenly she needed more of him, more of the feeling that he was invoking her, wanting him, needing him to relieve the ache between her thighs, aching to be filled by him.

Needing her to be naked as he needed his next breath, Jason pulled back. "I need you Sam." Not waiting for her to respond, he gripped the neck of her shirt and ripped. Pushing the offending fabric off of her body and letting it float to the floor in pieces. He took possession of her mouth once again at hearing her gasp, his kiss was hard and it was demanding and Jason knew that she was loving every minute of it as he was.

Lost in the sensation of what Jason was doing to her, Sam closed her eyes, loving and feeling the way he was kissing her, the feel of his hands roaming all over her skin, to her back, unsnapping the bra before pushing it down her arms. Her breasts were lush and full, and the sight of them always made him tremble. He palmed one then the other, loving the way her eyes closed and her back arched, begging him to take more, to give her more. His lips left her mouth, moving down her neck, down her collarbone, down in the valley of her breasts and to her heavy mounds where he finally sucked a pearled nipple into his mouth. Enjoying the sound of her gasping his name, he moved to the other nipple to give the same attention as he gave the first sucking harder.

"Oh God, Jason…" She moaned out as she arched her body into him more. She needed more of his body, more of his heat. Her hands gripped his hair, holding him to her as he continued his attention to her hardened peaks, sucking, licking, pinching, tweaking them between his fingers.

Losing control of his himself, he ground her body to his, teasing her between her legs as she pushed and moved wantonly against him. When she was finally begging him to take her, to make her his, he jerked the rest of her clothes off of her and done the same to his as well. Suddenly they were both naked, gloriously naked, her beauty practically made his heart stop, then beat again, it only did that for her, with her, his heart only beat for her.

Needing to feel her, to feel her wetness, he dove his fingers to her core, between her legs, and what he found made him groan, she was wet and ready for him. But he wanted to give her more, to give her the release first. Using the tip of his finger, he spread the moisture over her soft folds, enjoying her moans and gasps of pleasures as she held onto his shoulders. He slowly sank one finger inside of her, then another, curling them at the tips to hit that special spot that made her…. "OH Jason!…" bow her body to him, her soft breasts pressed deliciously up against his hard chest. He hissed and loved the feeling of her nails digging into his skin. Her hips moving wantonly over his fingers, needing more, taking more as his palm was rubbing up against her sensitized clit. He thrust his fingers into her over and over again into a delicious rhythm. She cried out and screamed as her orgasm hit her, rubbing her body up against his already hard and aching shaft as his fingers moved inside of her.

With a growl, he claimed her mouth and dominated her, giving, pouring everything into their kiss. Lifting her up, he set her down in the middle of the bed and claimed his rightful place between her legs. She spread her legs wider for him, fitting his hard length where it was destined to go, she could feel the blunt thick crown of his erection probing her entrance, almost asking for permission. His hands held hers above her head, his mouth moving in time with her own, her legs spread wider for him, her hips moving of their own accord, and with one strong thrust, he impaled himself within her sweet soft warmth. They both cried out with the pleasure that was so intense, it made their eyes flutter, the feel of her wetness surrounding him, the feel of him filling her completely. They were made for each other.

"Ohhh baby, you feel so good." He groaned out as his hips grinded into hers, loving the feel of their connection. He moved slowly at first, enjoying the feeling of their bodies, but it wasn't enough. He felt her raise her own to him, a silent demand for him to go faster, to ride her harder, and he gladly obliged. He moved his hands down her body, clasped her hips and pumped into her, over and over again, harder and harder, driving into her with all his force, the bed creaked, the headboard moved all in time to his thrusts. He rode her hard, not wanting to slow down until they both reached the release that was fast approaching them. He could feel the tension running through his body, readying itself it release into her, he could feel her hips tighten around his readying for her own release than would accept his. Pounding into her with all his force, driving into hard just like he knew she loved, he felt his balls suddenly tighten and he knew he was close, suddenly she gasped, screamed his name and shattered. Feeling her juices coat him, one thrust, two, he exploded into her, growling her name out.

Gathering her up to him as he pulled out and laid on his back, he relished in the feeling of her curling into him. Her head on his chest, her arm over his stomach, his hand rested on her back, rubbing in a soothing motion. He looked down at her as she lifted her head.

"Are you staying the night?" She asked as she bit her bottom lip, almost afraid to hear his answer and it tore at his heart. He needed to be better for her, he needed to find the Balkan so that they could finally get back to their lives. He missed her in their home, and in their bed.

His only answer. "Nothing will tear me away from you."
