A/N – Thanks for the reviews! Lol butterflyliz – I'm telling you this little story was a big challenge. Virgy15 – They both have some trusts issue. The next chapter, you'll find out why Liz has them.

Chapter 7 – Hitting the Brakes

When Jason awoke with Liz in his arms, he smiled and hugged her closer. She was under his skin and he knew that he was falling for her. But, he just didn't know how she felt about him. She always seemed so guarded.

"Good morning." Elizabeth said looking up at him with a smile.

"Good morning." Jason said smiling down at her.

He watched her crawl out of the bed an unabashedly walk into the bathroom. Damn she was beautiful. He slid out of the bed and grabbed some sweatpants and put them on before running downstairs. He turned on the coffee pot and started cooking an omelet. He put some bread in the toaster and then scooped some jam into a little bowl.

Liz came up behind him in his tee shirt. "Smells good." She said before sticking her finger into the jam and then putting it in her mouth.

Jason smirked. "You have some on your chin."

"Where?" She asked.

He leaned over and sucked the jam off of her chin and then kissed her. She tasted so sweet. Groaning, he pushed her up against the fridge, hard, and they began to kiss passionately. Liz couldn't even believe how hot Jason was being, she was already wet.

He suddenly let her go and went and flipped the omelet over in the nick of time. "You're way too dangerous to be in my kitchen." He said smiling at her.

Liz grinned. "Fine, I'll go set the table."

He turned back to the stove and finished up their eggs and grabbed the toast. When it was all done, he placed it on the little table and sat across from her. Somehow after last night, he felt so confident in himself that he could please her that it had changed the way he viewed everything. He was just feeling really good.

She ate a bite and smiled. "This is delicious."

Jason smiled and watched her eat. He wanted to know everything there was to know about her; everything she liked.

She looked up at him and sucked in a breath. The man was so fucking gorgeous. And he was looking at her like he wanted to eat her. She crossed her legs as her vaginal muscles twitched with anticipation. And suddenly, she felt like she needed to get out of there. Finishing quickly, she stood up. "Well, I have to go."

He was totally floored. He felt like she was bolting and he wasn't sure why. "Okay." He said standing up slowly.

She backed up and turned around. If he touched her right now, she was scared that she'd lose all control and wouldn't be able to take it slow. The tide was changing and Jason was really starting to get to her. And losing all control was something she just didn't want to do because to her, it was giving away more power than she wanted to give up.

She grabbed all of her things and before she could open the door, Jason came up behind her quickly and slammed it shut. She could feel his breath on the back of her neck and she froze.

He ran his other hand up the front of her pulled her into him. "Why are you running from me?" He asked softly.

She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths before spinning around and looking up at him. "I'm not. I just don't want to be late for work."

He stared at her intently as she wondered if he knew what he did to her. "Okay, but I would like a kiss goodbye please."

Liz nodded. She grabbed his head and tried to kiss him chastely but Jason wasn't having that. He deepened it and soon she felt like she was melting against him.

He pressed his forehead against hers. "I'll call you later."

She pulled back and smiled. "Bye." She said opening the door. When it shut behind her she leaned on it so she could compose herself. This was getting a little more serious than she had originally anticipated. She really hadn't been sure where it would lead. But, the more time she spent with him, the more she started to have feelings for him. She needed to talk to someone and Emily was out of the question. Pulling out her phone, she pushed the button for the elevator and left a message.

Jason sighed and watched Francis walking towards him.

"What's going on?" Francis said sitting down in a chair.

"Nothing." He said shuffling some papers around.

"Jason, talk to me. You clearly have something on your mind. Is it Elizabeth?"

Jason jerked his head up and looked at Francis who grinned. He rolled his eyes and looked away.

"Come on. We're friends. You can talk to me about anything."

Jason thought for a moment. He'd usually talk to Johnny but the Irishman teased him too much about Elizabeth so that was out of the question.

"It's just that I think she's running away from me or something and I'm not sure how to handle it."

Francis thought for a moment. "Have you two had sex yet?"

"No. We've been intimate, but haven't gone all the way." He said awkwardly.

"Why not?"

"I don't know. At first I was scared I couldn't please her, and now I know that isn't true. And I guess I have some trust issues."

"Do you want to?"

Jason nodded yes.

"Then just let it happen naturally."

He stopped and changed the subject; letting Jason off the hook. "Anyway, why do you think that she bolted?"

Jason shrugged. "Everything was going fine and I kissed her in the kitchen and somewhere between that and eating breakfast she looked a little uncomfortable and got up to leave."

"You sure you didn't say something?"

"No, I was just watching her eat." Jason said innocently.

Francis smirked.

"What?"

"I think Elizabeth is spooked by something. Maybe the way you were looking at her freaked her out a little, or just maybe you're starting to get to her. Do you love her Jason?"

Jason closed his eyes. "She's all I think about. She's smart, fun, and she doesn't let me take myself too seriously. She's sexy and gorgeous. I want to be with her every second of the day. It's like she haunts me and I just want to make her happy because she makes me so happy."

"You've got it bad my friend."

Jason smiled. He actually liked the sound of that. "So what do I do?"

"Go see her tonight. She's probably going to try to make some excuse. Don't let her. Bring her a present, maybe some flowers or candy; something to show her that you were thinking about her."

Jason nodded. "I can do that."

"And bring some condoms."

Jason frowned. "Isn't that presumptuous?"

Francis stood up. "No. Trust me. It's not."

Jason sighed. Going to the drug store to buy condoms was really not on his to do list today, but he figured it was better to be prepared.

Liz walked into an office.

Kelly frowned. She had been told that she had a last minute appointment. She was not expecting Elizabeth.

"What's going on girlfriend?" Kelly asked.

"I need someone to talk to."

"Was I your first choice?" She asked curiously.

"Yes."

"Just checking." Kelly said smiling. "Go on."

"I've been seeing Jason Morgan." She said slowly.

Kelly's eyes grew big. "Holy Shit. He is beyond hot."

"Kelly, I'm going to tell you something and you have to promise me that you will not say another word to anyone."

Kelly chuckled. "Is that why you made an appointment? You figured I can't tell since you'd be my patient?"

Liz grinned. "Well, I couldn't take a chance."

Kelly leaned back in her chair. "Go on."

Now she was really curious.

"Jason has never had sex before."

Kelly leaned forward and hit the desk with her hands. "Get the fuck out of here. How is that even possible?"

"I know. I was quite shocked to. But it's true."

"And?" She said brimming with excitement.

"Well, we haven't had sex yet but we've done just about everything else."

Kelly fought back the urge to ask her how that went.

"And we've been spending a lot of time together. This morning, I don't know maybe he was suddenly confident because of what happened last night but he was like oozing with hotness and I swear I was going to cum just from him staring at me while I was eating my omelet." She said exasperatedly.

Kelly chuckled. "Go on."

"And then it hit me. I like him more than I realized and I bolted."

Kelly sighed. "Elizabeth."

She knew Elizabeth had commitment issues but she just needed to get over it.
