Sexy, Can I?

Part Two

Note- definition of garment rending: to tear one's clothes in rage or grief.

Last week in October 2007

She extends her hand out to Jason Morgan."Claudia Zacchara. We're sworn enemies. Nice to meet you."

"Don't show up in my office again uninvited."

"Well aren't we off to a charming start? How are we supposed to work together if you keep up this bad attitude?"

"We're not working together."

"You haven't even listened to my proposal."

"I don't have to." He lets outs a frustrated breath.

Damn, nice lips, she thinks.

Too bad its gonna be a bitch to work with him. His completely hostile attitude from jump is disappointing to say the least.

Isn't this just freaking lovely? she thinks He should be a blast to work with. Not only do I have to stop thinking about screwing him, I also get to put up with him being cold and uncompromising too...fun.

"You'd be a fool," Claudia says "to not see how an alliance between our families would make all of us a hell of a lot richer and safer. Think about it...instead of wondering when you'll turn a corner and see me pointing a gun right between your eyes...we can be on the same side in a mutually beneficial relationship. Hell, you might even find out you like spending time with me. From what I've seen, there's not a man alive who doesn't."

Jason pinches his nose.

Claudia smiles, finding the frustrated gesture cute. Better not tell him that, she thinks. He probably wouldn't take it well. He wants to look like a hard ass...and he does...but she's not the type to be easily intimidated.

"We're not working together. You got nothing to offer me that I want."

She reaches out and places one manicured painted red fingernail against his cheek. "Now that's not hardly true."

Jason steps away from her, shaking his head angrily and shooting her a dirty look for touching him. He walks behind the desk, throws out his hands in a Fine, I'll humor you gesture and says "Just tell me what you have in mind so I can tell you no and you can leave. And don't let me catch you back in here without being invited or else."

"If this is the way you treat all your business associates then no wonder you are always in a mob war. Here's some advice for you, Morgan." Her tone is sweet when she suggests "Why don't you try a little more honey and a little less of the menacing glares. You'd catch more flies that way. You know what you and Sonny really need around here? A woman's touch. The all boys' club is so last millennium. All balls to the wall, let the bodies hit the floor."

Placing her hands on the desk she leans closer to him and continues "When if you would just make a few well negotiated deals instead you could keep your bullets in your gun till you really need to use them." She smiles and winks. "Not that I have any moral objections to murder. Even God knows it's a necessary evil in this lifestyle. But it gets so messy. And I do hate having to replace my shoes afterwards. I've lost more Monola Blahniks to blood stains than I can even count."

"Yeah? You think the cops would be interested in hearing that?"

"You a rat, Morgan?"

He simply stares at her.

Claudia smiles again. "We both know that's just not the kind of man you are. You're the silent type. You'll take your secrets to your grave, I'm sure. You'd never have made it this long in this business or risen so high in this organization if you were anyway but that way. I've heard you're more than just the brawn around here...you're the true brains. That's why I'm here talking to you instead of Corinthos. He's too hot headed, just like my Daddy. The very last thing I want to do is deal with another emotional, garment rendering man. I came up in this business under my Uncle Rudy and he's nothing like that. He's cool under fire, and taught me to be the same."

"Talk business or leave." He lets out a long breath and then sits down.

Claudia walks around the desk, and sits on the edge of it, next to Jason. She crosses her legs. "That's what I'm doing."

He watches as she crossed her legs. Creamy white thigh peeks out beneath her tight red dress. Jason jerks his eyes away. "You're talking about Sonny...who you don't know. Me...who you think you understand after meeting two minutes ago."

"Better than you'd like to admit, Morgan. I've researched you and you're not that complicated."

Jason goes on like she hadn't even spoken, in his annoyed, get on with this tone. "And your Uncle Rudy- who I could give two shits about."

They stare at each other for a long moment. Jason adds "If you came here to make friends, just go now...cause I don't need anymore friends. Sonny runs this territory and he's not looking to work with another family."

"He needs to reconsider that."

Jason raises on eyebrow to silently ask Why? That might benefit you. How does it benefit us?

Claudia went on "You're spent the last three years fighting off Alcazar and almost served a life sentence for your trouble. You don't want to start another war...because this time you'd be up against the Zaccharas. We aren't some South American, old world code, don't bring the women and children into this sort of clan. I'm sure you know there is no limit to what my father will do to get what he wants and what he wants most this week is...everything you have."

"That a threat from him?"

"I don't speak for him, no. I speak for me. I'm here to ask you to make an end run around the Bosses in charge with me. Now...tell me...doesn't that sound like fun?"Claudia's eyes shine with unmasked sensual teasing. "You work your end. I'll work mine. We'll meet in the middle and both end up satisfied."

He hates to admit it, and he would never say this out loud, but Damn, if that don't sound like a good idea.

He'd like nothing more than to get the chance to fuck this woman.

She could work out a lot of the tension clinging to his bones.The way she's coming on to him, with her little double entendres, says she'd be game for it if Jason made a move. Not that he's going to because fucking an enemy is reckless as hell and he's only been reckless a couple of times in his life. It takes a lot to make him go there...a blonde he can't walk away from, a moment he can't quite resist...and its been years since he let his dick do the talking for him. Even with Sam, as much as he wanted her body from day one, he didn't have her till he was sure there was something more other than just attraction between them.

Not till this moment does Jason really regret that he isn't into casual sex anymore. It's a damn shame to let a chick as hot as Claudia walk away without, at least, setting something up for later...he has a pass key to the Metro Court. He can have any room he wants, any time he wants.

He stands up and heads toward the door, opens it and then says "Time for you to go."

She walks towards him, without grabbing her coat and purse he notices, stopping right when she is close to his body. In a quiet tone, so no one outside can hear, she says "We haven't talked specifics. You gonna turn me down without even knowing what you are turning down?"

Just then Sonny came walking up to the doorway. He gave Claudia a long look up and down and smiled. "Good morning...how you doing?"

She smiles. Jason watches as she turns on the charm for him. He don't like it one bit.

Claudia says "Hello, there. I've been looking forward to meeting the man-in-charge."

"Have you?" Sonny flirts. "I didn't know Jason had a new...friend...in his life. You holding out on me, man? You always try to keep the most beautiful ones hidden in that penthouse of yours...but I always end up meeting them anyway, don't I?"

Jason seethes. Who the hell is he talking about? Carly? He need not even go there unless he wants to be knocked out. But Sonny never thinks straight when a chick is around.

He sticks out his hand. "Sonny Corinthos...but I bet you already knew that, sweets."

Claudia takes his hand, slowly wrapping her fingers around his, leans in and kisses both his cheeks.

"Damn you smell great," Sonny says.

Jason shakes his head at the scene before him. Sonny is damn near engaged to Kate. Fucking bastard. He enjoys bursting Sonny's bubble. "Meet Claudia Zacchara- Anthony's firstborn."

Sonny blanches, then his eyes harden. "He send you here?"

"No. But I figured a first meet was in order," Claudia said. "So you know I'm interested in being friendly...or that I can be the worst foe you boys have ever come up against. The thing that goes bump in the night...that will be me...if anything should happen to my brother, John. But I don't see why it should. There's enough money to go round. We could strike a deal for usage on your docks and all end up happy. Play ball with me, Sonny...the life you save could be your own."

"No deal," Sonny says. He brushes past her and heads for the desk. "Now get out of here."

Claudia gives Jason a look that says You could make this so much easier on yourself. He simply stares back at her saying Forget about it.

Jason can so tell she is the type to go down swinging. That's always been his favorite type.

For now, she leaves it go, grabbing her purse and coat and saying "Sleep on it. We'll talk again...you both better count on that," before she leaves.

She'll be back. He's sure of that. He hates the fact that he actually wants to see her again...though if he never does...it will be so much easier on him. Because Claudia looks way too good to not think about fucking her every time he lays on her.

He don't need that kind of temptation in his life.

Later that night, Jason is drinking a beer at the Metro Court bar. He's just gotten done talking to his best friend...playfully arguing about if he will be taking her to the Black and White Ball since her husband is out of town. Carly had to make an oversees phone call in her office, so she left Jason at the bar. Jason figures he'll finish his beer and then take off.

He hears the bartender let out a low, soft whistle and mutter "Damn, look at her."

Right then Jason has a pretty good idea who he will see when he turns around. The woman who has been stuck in his head all day, he's fighting off fantasies of her left and right. Turning his head slowly, she comes into view.

Claudia has just stepped off the elevator and her eyes are searching the room. They connect with Jason's. He thinks to himself Get up and walk out. Don't speak to her...you'll only want to take her to bed if you do.

He wonders what she would say if he asked...and just how rough she likes it.

( "Sexy, can I

hit it from the front
then I hit it from the back?"


Know you like it like that.


Then we take it to the bed,

then we take it to the floor
Then we chill for a second

then we're back at it for more...

Baby,

when we make love it's like "Oh, ohh, ohhhhhhhhhh"


I don't know what your man is like.

But shorty all I want to know is
"Sexy, can I?"

"Sexy, can I....) (Ray J)
