A/N – Thanks for the reviews! I was having some problem with the site last night and it didn't look like it sent out an email for this fic being updated. I actually deleted the chapter and tried to repost it but it didn't help.

Anyhoo, Guest – It's not really angst between them. You'll see. Other Guest – I don't see Emily as being a spoiled child. It's just that she's 18 and her heart is broken. It's actually more suicidal to me. What popped in my head today was Romeo/Juliet. Juliet wasn't being a brat. She just didn't want to live without him. Maryrose59 & Laura – Thank you! Ilovedana53 – You know me, I can't have them apart for too long lol. Other – Other Guest – Thanks! Starhine – Glad you are enjoying it! Gabby1 – I think you'll enjoy how I make that happen.

Chapter 12 - Desire

"Lady Elizabeth." Georgie yelled as she ran towards her. They crashed together and laughed as they both stumbled. "I'm so glad to find you well." The young woman said with glee.

"Where is Ruby?" She asked looked around.

"Waiting inside. She didn't think her legs would carry her once she laid eyes on you." Georgie gushed.

Liz grinned and ran inside. "Ruby." She said running over to the sofa and throwing her arms around her.

Ruby cried. "We thought you were gone."

"Do you really think that I will leave the lot of you?"

Alfred stood off to the side. "It's good to have you back milady."

Elizabeth grinned and threw her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek. "I missed you too Alfred."

He chuckled. "I suppose you expect me to carry your things in."

"Well they can't walk themselves in now can they?" She quipped.

"I really did miss you." He said before heading to the carriage.

Liz sat down and filled Ruby and Georgie in on everything that happened. They couldn't believe that she was going to be courted by a Prince.

It was two days before Liz heard from Jason.

My Dearest Elizabeth,

There are no words to express how much I miss you. I hope that you are well and settling back into your routine. Mother sends her love and AJ asked if you could let Courtney come visit for a few months. The mood here is still grim. Emily is very ill. I'm afraid that if we don't find Nikolas soon, we will lose her and I don't know if I will ever be able to forgive myself.

I cannot wait to hold you in my arms again.

It continued on and when she got to the end, Elizabeth sat staring at the letter. On one hand, she was so happy to hear from him but on the other, she was stunned that Emily's condition seemed so dismal.

She pulled out some paper and wrote back.

Dearest Jason,

My heart aches for Emily. Please do not blame yourself. You had no idea that she would be so distraught. I know you didn't mean to hurt her. You were trying to protect your sister.

I wish that I could hold you and sooth your inner turmoil. I miss you so much. My lips are forever burned with yours and I long to feel them again as well as your touch.

And tell AJ I said no way.

She continued on about what she had been up to and then asked him to please visit soon.

She sealed the letter and then gave it to one of the footman.

A few days later, Jason got the letter. He smiled and tore it open. Just her talking about her lips was making him stir.

Their back and forth went on for another two weeks and then Jason made a decision.

He had to see her.

"Johnny."

Johnny walked towards him.

"Prepare to leave in two days time. I'm going to see Lady Elizabeth."

Johnny smiled. Jason had been moping for what seemed like forever.

Three days later, Elizabeth was lying in the meadow. Her eyes were closed and she was basking in the glow of the sun. Suddenly, she realized that something had blocked it and her eyes snapped open. She gasped and sat up as she realized there was someone standing over her.

Jason grinned and sat down next to her. She looked as beautiful as ever.

Elizabeth's mouth dropped open and she squealed and jumped on him. Jason fell backwards as she peppered his face with kisses. He finally grabbed her head and flipped them over as he ravished her mouth. Liz's body trembled as he sucked on her tongue and lip. His hand had eased up the front of her and settled on her breast as he brazenly flicked his thumb over her nipple. Liz moaned into his mouth as her body shuddered from the sensation. She kissed him back with everything she had until they finally broke apart panting.

Jason laid his head on her heaving chest as they both calmed down.

Elizabeth was beyond happy that he was there. For several minutes, they both just held onto each other without saying a word. Jason was scared that if he kissed her again, in that moment, he'd have to just have his way with her and he wanted to wait because she was so special to him.

Liz started to run her fingers through his long hair. "Jason, I overheard Courtney talking. What did she mean about being prepared?" She asked curiously.

Jason's head shot up. At first he was shocked and then a big smirk crept onto his face. "Trust me when I tell you that I will have no problem preparing you." He said with a look that made Liz blush.

She slowly smiled and then started to laugh.

"What? Do you doubt my abilities?"

"Oh no, I'm quite sure you are probably an expert at whatever this preparing will be. I was just thinking of the look on your face when I said it." She said laughing harder. "I'm just so happy that you are here. When I didn't get another letter, let's just say I was rather intolerable."

Jason grinned. "It's good to know that I was missed so deeply."

Now it was Liz's turn to look at him with want and the look in her eye made Jason grow hard.

"Show me."

Jason knew what she wanted but he decided to feign ignorance. "Show you what?"

"Show me what you'd do to prepare me." She said softly.

Even just asking him was making her loins twitch with anticipation.

"I cannot do that here." He said softly. He could but he didn't want to take it that far and their first time was not going to be in a field.

Liz moved so her mouth was close to his. "You can show me a little can't you?" She asked before sliding her tongue across his lips. Jason moaned. Their tongues dueled for supremacy and then he pushed her back and attacked her neck. Losing all resolve, he flicked his tongue along her skin as he moved his way down to her breast. He slid his hand inside the top of her dress and freed it as Liz gasped as the air hit her naked skin, and the next thing she knew, Jason's mouth was licking her nipple which elicited a loud moan. She grabbed his head and fisted his hair as he lightly raked her nipple with his teeth and then blew on it before sucking again. The sensations radiating through Elizabeth's body were foreign but she felt like she was on fire. She started making these tiny little noises as she panted and Jason thought he was going to explode. He looked up at her and then moved quickly and his mouth was on her lips again as his hand tweaked her nipple.

Jason knew he should stop but he just couldn't get enough of her and he ripped his mouth away and freed her other breast as he hungrily sucked and nipped at it. She was just so perfect and he had lost all rationality and needed to taste her creamy skin. And when he finally pried his mouth off of her nipple and attacked her mouth again she rolled them over and she could feel his hardness touch her thigh and they both moaned at the contact.

And then she heard it, her name was being yelled and it snapped them out of their passion filled haze. Liz rolled off of him and adjusted herself quickly and stood up on shaky legs. "I'll be right there." She yelled at Alfred and waved. She looked down at Jason with a wry smile as her eyes scanned down his body and saw the bulge in his pants. Normally, she would have probably blushed but after what they had just done, she felt quite empowered. "Perhaps you should lie here a little while longer."

Jason smirked. "You think you're really funny don't you?"

Liz started to laugh as he stood and flicked some weeds off of his jacket. They waited a few more minutes until Jason's body calmed down and then they walked towards the house hand in hand.

"I take it you're not upset that we took it that far."

"No, I'm not." She said firmly. What had happened today made her feel like a woman. Not only was she wanted, but she learned that she didn't have to feel embarrassed for wanting him. She felt more alive than she ever had before. And she couldn't wait for him to teach her how to please him.

"Good." He said smiling.
