Chapter 7

"Will you please stop playing with your tie?" Brenda reached up and swatted Jason's hand for the second time. "You're just making it all crooked." She went to fix it but jerked her hands back when it looked like he was going to bite them off.

"I hate parties." He gritted out through clenched teeth. He really didn't want to be here, especially not without Sam. God, he couldn't get her hurt look out of his mind, it had been haunting him all day. She had been ignoring his calls, not once picking up just so that he could hear her sweet voice even if it was to yell at him. He missed her.

"Would you quit saying that. Honestly Jason, it wouldn't hurt you to go out once in a while, I don't how Sam can stand to be with you, I mean, you never take her out anywhere, you're always stuck at the penthouse, you should go out more, mingle, you know socialize." She looked up at him to see any kind of acknowledgment. All he did was stare coldly at her and…. growl? "Look, don't be mad at me ok, it's not my fault that you didn't tell Sam…." When his look hardened, she just continued on. "Even if she didn't answer your phone calls, you should've went out to look for her, you know, buy her flowers, apologize, asked her in person to come with you, and maybe it's not too late, maybe she'll come…." Brenda was looking through the crowd and waving her hands when she spoke, when someone exiting the elevator caught her attention. "Oh look, she's here…." She happily pointed over to the elevators and was excited to see Jason whip his head up so fast to look in that direction. As soon as he did, he growled, loudly, so animal-like it was scary. Coming off the elevator from behind Sam was another man. "And she brought a….. date?" Seeing the murderous glare in his eyes and his teeth bared, almost as if he had fangs, Brenda tried to control the situation. "No, not a date, I'm sure he's just a friend, hey wait a minute, isn't that Robin's cousin, Aidan, oh wow, he's hot." Seeing Jason turn those murdering eyes on her, Brenda grew more nervous and a little scared. "No, no, not hot, your hot, I mean Sam thinks you're hot and she loves you, I'm sure whatever their doing doesn't mean anything, NOT that there are doing anything….." Realizing she wasn't helping, instead just digging her grave, Brenda gave up and threw her hands up in the air. "Forget it! I'm going by Sonny!" With that she almost ran away.

Sam tried hard not to look at him, she could see (no scratch that), she could FEEL his eyes all over her. When she asked Maxie for a really sexy dress, she wasn't quite expecting this, but then again, that's Maxie for you. Sam knew that Jason wouldn't like her wearing something so revealing in public, but she was sure that her dress wasn't the cause of the smoke coming out of Jason's ears, it was the man that was standing a little bit too close next to her.

Aidan leaned down and whispered in her ear. "I don't think Morgan's too happy to see us together." He couldn't help but smirk at the idea, he had Samantha on his arm, and he couldn't be happier, they were here together.

"Don't look at him, and don't smirk." Sam warned him as she grabbed a flute of champagne from the nearest waiter, downed it, then placed the empty glass back on the tray, not missing the double take he did, and he stared, hard.

"I can't help it." Aidan placed his hand on the small of her bare back. "I have the most beautiful woman on my arm and I can't wait to show her off." He lightly nudged her forward, ready to flaunt her and rub it into Morgan's face.

Sam couldn't ignore it anymore, looking up at Jason, she could tell that he was pissed, mad as hell, maybe a little hurt even. She lightly shrugged Aidan's hand off of her back and walked up to Jason. "I'm going to talk to him." When she saw that Aidan was following, grinning the entire way, she shooed him off. "Alone." Satisfied that she ditched him, she nervously stepped up to the enforcer. Standing right in front of him, she could hear how hard he was breathing, it was scary really, and HOT. She could tell that he was two seconds away from ripping Aidan's head off and laying into her. Ok, so maybe this wasn't such a good idea. "Are you mad?" She looked up at him sheepishly, avoiding looking directly into his eyes.

"FURIOUS." He gritted out. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. She had come to the party with that prick by her side wearing what looked like a piece of scrap material for a dress. What the hell was she thinking? But who was he to blame her, he didn't tell her about coming to the party and obviously this was a last minute spontaneous decision on her part, right or wrong, he understood her anger.

Sighing, almost defeated, Sam knew that she made the wrong chose, childish really. She wanted to make Jason jealous so that he would appreciate her, and even though she got exactly what she wanted, she knew it was a bit too much. He did appreciate her, sometimes he would make mistakes, but he was just human after all. "Can we talk?"

"Outside on the balcony, now!" Waiting for her to step ahead of him, he reached up and made sure that shawl she was wearing was wrapped tighter around her. It was cold outside, and the other real reason was so that her bare back was covered, she was showing way too much skin for his liking. Don't get him wrong, he LOVED it, and so did his cock that was standing at attention and straining painfully behind his zipper, he just didn't want other men seeing her, including the bastard she came here with. Making sure the doors were closed, Jason turned to see her standing by the railing looking out into the city. It didn't escape him where they were, he just chose to ignore it. He had almost lost her here all those years ago when she was shot by Manny in his arms, and Jason needed to remember that whatever happened between them that he loved her, more than he had ever loved anyone in his entire life, and no stupid stunts that she pulled were going to take that away.

"Ok, so clearly this wasn't one of my best decisions." She started off as she turned to him when he came up behind her. She looked up at him with sad eyes and a small tremble in her lips. "But you really hurt me Jason."

It hurt to him to see how she was hurt, he could really be an asshole sometimes. "Did you get my message?"

Sam nodded. "I did, but I didn't listen to it. I was just so upset, not that you brought Brenda, but because of the fact that you didn't tell me."

"I know, and I'm sorry, I swear baby that it just slipped my mind. I was so looking forward to being alone with you. When she told me about this party, I didn't want to go, but then she told what it was for and why she had to be here…"

"I know, it's for the children, and it's a good cause Jason."

"You're right, it is for a good cause. I was so caught up with making sure the security measures were in place and that the guards were available that I completely lost track of time. I swear it Sam, I was going to call you, I just didn't know how late it was." He leaned down and kissed her sweet lips, taking her hands in his, he raised them to his mouth and kissed the back of each hand. "You know that I would love nothing more than you on my arm, especially looking like that." He reached up and caressed the side of her soft cheek. "My God you're beautiful." Leaning down again, he kissed her, harder this time. One hand snaked to the back of her neck as the other circled to her bare lower back, he pressed her against him, flush to his massive build, their mouths moving together, their tongues stroking, his erection pressed up against her. He could hear her moans, and all that accomplished was making him more wild and in need for her.

Pulling back at remembering where they were, Jason grabbed an end to her shawl and gently pulled it from around her shoulders. Walking to the balcony doors, he tied the shawl around both ends of the door handles, locking them in place, to make sure that no one would interrupt them. He turned back to see the astonished but hungry look in her eyes. "Jason." He heard her husky whisper and it turned him on even more. Stalking to her, ready to take her, ready to devour her, he stood and towered before her, taking control. "Turn around." He ordered and smirked at the look of lust that flashed in her whiskey eyes.

Without a second thought, Sam turned to look out over the balcony, she could feel him coming up against her, could feel his erection pressed against her ass, his hands on her body, but what made her moan out in ecstasy was when Jason bent down and licked her bare back from the bottom to the top of her bare shoulder. She arched her body, forcing her breasts out as her breathing grew intense, she felt both his hands snake up against her body, over her breasts, and down her arms, grabbing each hand he jerked her forward and placed her hands up on the hand rail.

"Keep them here." He ordered, whispering against her ear, then licking it. Flames broke out across her skin, her body was heating up with desire, wanting him, needing him to bring her to release. "Jason, please…" She begged him breathlessly.

Loving the sound of her breathlessness and her begging, Jason was more than ready to make it happen. He didn't want to draw this out, he wasn't able to, he was so hard for her that if she moved her ass up against his erection one more time, he was about to come in his pants like an inexperienced teenager. Bending down, he grabbed the hem of her dressed by her ankles and pulled up, lifting the dress as his fingers and calloused hands danced across the bare skin of her soft legs. He almost came when he felt her gun holster strapped to her creamy thighs. "This is the sexiest thing that I have ever seen." He forced out as he tried to control himself. The image of her in that blue dress, bending over the railing, a gun strapped to her thighs, ready for him to claim her, was intoxicating.

He needed her and he wasn't about to lose another second. With one hand holding her dress up, he used his free one to undo his belt, yank the button off, unzip his pants and pull his painful cock out. Stroking it, he pressed it up against the crease of her ass, groaning at the way her ass moved against it. Not being able to hold back any longer, he moved her lacy thong aside and forced himself into her with one hard thrust. She screamed just as he moaned loudly at the feel of her tight wet hot core sheathing him. He wasn't going to last long and by the sound of her breathing, she wasn't either. He pulled out and pumped hard into her, harder and harder, faster and faster, he thrust himself into her taking her almost all the way over the railing. She was moaning his name over and over again and just as he was about to come, she clenched all around him and screamed out as she coated his cock with her juices, so hot and wet, he couldn't hold back anymore, and with a guttural yell of her name, he came, exploding all of himself into her.

Taking a minute to catch his breath, Jason pulled out and zipped himself back up just as she was straightening out her dress. "That was….." She started.

"Unbelievable…" He finished for her, taking time to regulate his breathing. "But that was only the beginning." He snaked his arm around her and pulled her up against him. "I'm taking you home tonight and I'm not leaving until the morning."

"Hmmm… I'm looking forward to it." She reached up and kissed him lightly on the lips. "So… you're not mad anymore?"

Jason shook his head. "No, I could never be mad at you, I love you Sam." He kissed her again. "Are you still mad at me?"

She shook her head as well. "No, I understand, this fundraiser is important, I would've done the same." She pulled back and waited for him to untie her shawl from the door handles and hand it back to her. "Now, let's get back to the party, shall we?" She placed her hand into his offered one.

"Oh, just to let you know, I was watching Lisa and she's pretty much been staring at Robin and Patrick the entire night."

"Thanks. I need to tell Aidan, that way we could keep an eye out for her." She was about to pull away when he pulled her right back to him, making sure the shawl was still wrapped around her.

"Listen, also, I want you to be careful, one of the Balkan's men is dressed up as a waiter, he's waiting for Lucky to distract me so that he could take Brenda through the kitchen. Just make sure to watch out and be careful, please."

The sincerity and worry look in his eyes made her heart melt. "Of course, you too." She gave him a quick kiss. "I'm just going to the bathroom to um… freshen up." She pulled away and walked towards the back leaving Jason to stare at her ass until she was out of sight.

*****************************************

Making sure that her dress was straight after she washed her hands, Sam went back into the stall to get her purse, she was about to exit the stall when she heard a commotion enter the bathroom. She could hear raised voices, Robin and… Lisa? Oh no! Lisa was yelling at Robin about how she is no good for Patrick and how she tried to domesticate him, Robin was yelling just as loud. Making sure that she was quiet, Sam silently opened the door just a crack. Lisa was standing with her back to Sam, holding a knife on Robin. This was it, she had officially reached her peak of insanity. She could hear the yelling and the name calling and every time Robin tried to make it to the door, Lisa would lunge at her, all while keeping her back to Sam.

Quietly, Sam pulled out her phone from her purse and sent a text to Aidan. 'Lisa with knife to Robin in the ladies bathroom. Bring Mac.' She placed it back in her purse and reached down for her gun. She waited for Mac and Aidan to bust in before she made herself known, she wasn't about to take any chances with that knife yielding psychotic bitch.

"YOU BITCH! It's all your fault! You stole Patrick away from me! He was EVERYTHING to me and you took him away!" Lisa shouted out as she waved her knife close to Robin's face, she had cornered her up against the far wall.

"I didn't steal anything, he came to me, he loves me and we have a beautiful daughter together." Robin whispered out painfully as tears streamed down her face.

"No, NO! You trapped him! HE DOESN'T LOVE YOU!"

Before Lisa could say anything else, the bathroom door slammed open, Aidan and Patrick, along with Mac burst into the bathroom holding guns and aiming them at Lisa. She grabbed Robin by the arm, swung her around, and held Robin against her as she pressed the blade to her throat. "Don't come any closer! I'll kill her."

"Put the knife down! PCPD Lisa, there's no way out of this! Put the knife down and let Robin go." Mac spoke up even though his heart was racing at a hundred miles an hour. The bitch had his niece and she was threatening to kill her.

Patrick couldn't believe what he was seeing, his ex girlfriend had a knife up against his wife's throat. "Lisa, come on, put the knife down, let her go, this is between you and me, let Robin go."

"NO! I don't think so, she's my ticket out of here." Stepping forward, Lisa was getting ready to push Robin in front of her so that she could get through the door to escape, but Patrick stepped in the way. "I loved you with everything that I had, and you betrayed me, you used me, throw me out like trash and you go back to HER. I would've given you EVERYTHING!"

"I have everything, I have my wife and my daughter, I have the family I've always wanted. I love them Lisa, not you!"

Sam couldn't afford to wait any longer, this was her best chance to get Lisa and finish this. Gently and quietly she opened the stall. Mac and Patrick were too busy looking at Lisa and Robin to notice her, Aidan looked like he was ready to kill the bitch that was holding his cousin and only spared her a quick glance. This was her only shot and she had to make it count. She crept up quietly behind Lisa, the gun firmly gripped in her hands, and just as Mac and Patrick finally realized what she was doing, it was too late to object, Sam raised her hand and slammed the butt of the gun down on Lisa's head, effectively knocking her out, causing the knife to fall from her grasp. It was the best way to take her down without actually killing her and not hurting Robin in the process.

Robin stumbled in Patrick's arms as Mac and another officer rushed for Lisa laying unconscious on the floor. She couldn't believe that it was over and she had her cousin and Sam to thank. She looked up to see her cousin making his way towards her, she pulled back from Patrick and jumped into Aidan's waiting arms. "Thank you, thank you so much Aidan."

He kissed her forward and held on to his family tighter. "Don't thank me, it was all Samantha." He looked up to see Samantha's tears glisten her hypnotizing eyes. He owed her so much. His heart swelled even more for her. He couldn't deny his feelings any longer, he was falling in love with her.

Sam stood back and smiled at the sight before her, the threat was handled and a family was reunited. They didn't have to worry about Lisa anymore, this was enough to put her away for attempted murder. She nodded to Mac giving her a job well done and many thanks as she walked up to Robin. Pulling away from Aidan, Robin turned to Sam and hugged her as well. "Thank you Sam, I'm so glad that this is over, thank you so much." Sam could do nothing but cry along with her, thanking God that this nightmare was over with. Looking up at Aidan, Sam could see how this had affected him too, she was happy for her friend, but did that mean that he was going to leave Port Charles now? She found a friend in Aidan and she hoped that she wasn't going to lose him.

*******************************************

While all the drama was happening in the ladies bathroom without anyone else knowing, Jason kept his eyes opened for the threat that was about to attack them from inside the ballroom. He hadn't seen Sam return from the ladies room and he hoped that she was alright. He couldn't help himself on the balcony, he was a little too rough, but he knew she liked it that way, just one look at that dress she had molded to her body and Jason couldn't wait to rip it off.

But he could feel something that was bothering him, something wasn't right and it only confirmed his suspicion when he noticed Aidan, Mac and some other officer run towards the ladies bathroom in the back. Something was wrong. But before Jason could go back there to make sure that Sam was alright, Lucky stepped up to him, giving the Balkan's man the signal to kidnap Brenda. He looked impatiently at Lucky, pissed that he picked this time to confront him. Lucky had kept himself in the dark this entire time, keeping his alter ego as Ronan, making sure to not show himself to all his friends in family in Port Charles, he couldn't have waited a few more minutes. Damn it!

Kale saw his signal, Ronan was currently talking to Morgan, this was his chance to finally get the Barrett woman to his boss and collect his reward. He placed the tray of champagne flutes on the nearest table and walked up to the woman. "Miss Barrett." He waited for her to acknowledge him with a smile before he continued. "There seems to be a situation in the kitchen and a Miss Suzanne asked me to come and collect you."

Brenda looked up at him confused, why would Suzanne ask this waiter to collect her, what was so important that she had to handle it and not her. Suzanne mentioned that she was going to leave early but she would first make sure to double check everything before she left, maybe she found a mistake and she needed her input on it. Choosing to accept the waiter's story, Brenda walked ahead of him towards the double doors to the kitchen expecting to see Suzanne. Instead, she was grabbed by Max and forced behind him just as Cody and Milo grabbed onto the waiter. "What the hell is going on?" Brenda questioned not knowing about the plan that Lucky and Jason came up with.

Just as Jason and Lucky made their way to the kitchen to confront the Balkan's men, Jason let out a sigh of relief at seeing a crowd exit the bathrooms off to the side. Mac and an officer had a handcuffed Lisa and were leading her out towards the back, followed by Patrick and Aidan holding Robin. Sam was the next to follow. She looked up at him and gave him breathtaking smile, letting her know that she was alright and then followed the rest of the crowd out but first giving him a signal that she would call him later and threw him an air kiss. Whatever happened in the bathroom was contained and Lisa was captured. He thanked God that Sam was ok. Now he just had to deal with this piece of shit.

Opening the double doors to a now cleared out kitchen, Jason nodded to his men at a job well done. Pulling out his gun, he aimed it at the guys head. "What do you want with Brenda?" When the guy remained silent, Jason nodded to his man and stepped back as Max punched the guy in the gut. Brenda averted her eyes at the grueling sight. She didn't want to be here, she wanted to be with Sonny but she couldn't move, she was too traumatized, she was almost captured tonight. "Again, why do you want Brenda?"

"The Balkan just wants his son's body, she killed him and had her cop friend dumped his body, he just wants his son and his revenge."

They all turned to the only cop in the room at the time, Lucky, but he quickly shook his head saying that it wasn't him. Before anyone spoke, the kitchen doors opened up and Dante stepped through. To everyone's surprise, Brenda launched herself into the man's arms. "He knows, he knows about Alexander…. He knows that we got rid of him."

Behind Dante came Sonny and was shocked and confused at the sight before him. His girlfriend was in the arms of his son and there was something so familiar about it, as if they were comfortable together, not as strangers, but as two people who've known each other a long time. "What the hell is going on here?"

Jason nodded to his men and waited for them to drag the waiter away, turning back, he was furious at what he just learned. Brenda had killed the Balkan's son and Dante had hid the body. That hypocritical son of a bitch, he had no problem turning Michael, his own brother, in for killing Claudia, but helped Brenda get rid of a body. He was so furious, he was shooting daggers at the two of them. "You have some explaining to do? NOW!"
