Chapter Four

Wednesday

"Don't jerk me around."

The words were hissed at Alexis by Jason as they stood in the foyer of Greystone at Sonny's Christmas party. For the second time in two days Jason had found his lips on hers...once because he just had to taste her after he was released from jail, and today because she initiated a kiss by grabbing his shirt, cupping his head and slamming her mouth against his. But, also on both days, she said they shouldn't kiss again.

She needed to make up her mind. He was only getting hotter and hotter for her. Cold showers, jerking off, and bike rides only did so much to calm him down. He was getting worked up over the idea of her and he didn't like feeling out of control.

It wasn't good for his business or his life.

He wasted three months in jail because he was charged with killing someone he wished he had killed but didn't- Jerry Jacks. Now that he was out he wanted to get on with living. And that started with getting on with his plan to fuck Alexis Davis senseless.

If she wanted that.

He hadn't really been planning to date her beforehand. He was thinking: Fuck her first. Order some dinner. Then talk.

But he had to backtrack all that thinking now because he was starting to get the idea that maybe she felt like he was treating her like a sex object. Like a slut. And he had never meant to do that. Not at all.

She said "Don't get an attitude with me. You caused this mess!" Her voice was a frustrated whisper.

He raised an eyebrow and stepped closer to her. "Mess?"

Jason prayed his voice did not sound hurt. There was no way he was getting hurt feelings over his lawyer rejecting him. So what that she was the first woman he felt comfortable enough with to want to take to his bed in more than a year? So? That didn't mean he had to fall in love with her.

So what that he had been one second from asking her on a date before she kicked him in the ribs for the third time in twenty four hours? So? He was a grown ass man. He could deal.

Alexis ranted, waving her hands, and whispering "You need more proof that it would be a mess than Sam just walking by five seconds ago?"

"Is that the only thing holding you back?"

"You do remember what you do for a living, right? Am I the only one between us who remembers you are a high ranking member of a organized crime syndicate and I am your barely walking the line between legal and getting my license revoked lawyer? Does that sound familiar to you? Because its giving me flashbacks."

He straightened. His back went completely stiff. Party over for him. "Sonny." He nodded, once. And then he walked out, without his coat, grabbed his keys out of his pocket and unlocked the door to his SUV.

When he was inside the vehicle, even more pissed off than the day before at her, he saw her in the doorway, staring out at him.

She looked beautiful. With the moonlight on her that way. But she always had been a beautiful woman. He just forced himself to not think too hard about that before.

And that is what he would have to do again.

Jason started the SUV and drove off the property without glancing in the rearview mirror to give himself one last image of her that night. It was time to forget his fantasies about fucking his lawyer. He needed to get his mind calm again.

It was a hot fantasy. But it was just making a messy life for him. Alexis had been right. Between Sam and Sonny for her....and Jason not being able to think straight anymore....they were just too complicated and risky.

Still, he had wanted to take that risk for her. Fuck. He hated his life sometimes. He really did.

Friday

It was all for the best.

Alexis told herself that over and over. At the party she said that every five minutes, in her head. And the next day she it every half hour, as she lounged around her house all day in a funk. Now it was Friday and she was up to only having to remind herself once an hour that it would have been akin to professional suicide to sleep with her client who is a hitman.

Especially when she had the reputation dogging her of sleeping with a mob boss, marrying a mob lawyer, having a fling with a confirmed psycho named Jerry Jacks, and being with her colleague, the mayor.

Not to mention all the other reasons: Sam, Carly, Jax, Sonny, Ric.

Everyone would have a fit and a half over it.

Of course, she was not living her life to please them. She loved Sam and Jax. But they had to let her be an adult, didn't they? An adult who had sex on occasion. They were both married and she didn't judge- that much- their spouses. She bit her tongue. Till it bled.

It was unfair to put her choice off on those other people. It was her choice. They would cope.

And her reputation couldn't get any worse- no matter what she did, not at this point. She was still making millions anyway and heir to a fortune. She was a Cassadine. She knew how to work the system and come out on top.

So what was holding her back?

Fear.

Jason made her feel so alive that her thighs quivered in his mere presence these days. And that was getting a little too real for her.

He wasn't a stranger. She knew him and respected him for his devotion to his family. Add hot sex to that and what would they have?

She swallowed hard.

So it was for the best that she rejected Jason because she was not looking to get into a relationship. She should focus on just getting through the holidays. All she did in relationships was blow up her and her kids' worlds.

A life without sex? she asked herself as she walked into the coffee shop. Can I really never go there again? No. Not a chance. But love? I could get by without that. Haven't I gotten by without it since the day Ric got naked with my daughter on my living room floor? Yes, I have, if anyone is keeping track. So I can get by without it some more....I will be a professional today with Jason.

When she became his defense attorney she had also taken a look at his Will, which he was worried about because he might be spending his life in prison. He decided he wanted to add Carly's newborn baby son to it, along with increasing what he was giving Spinelli.

Alexis was at the coffee shop today to go over the things he wanted bequeathed to them. She could have done it through faxing back and forth but that would only make it obvious she was avoiding Jason. And she was not trying to avoid him.

She actually missed him a little.

Sue her. She got used to seeing him everyday for three months and now she hadn't seen him at all yesterday. Plus he was mad at her. It was bringing her down to think about it.

She plastered a smile on her face, as she walked up to his office door. "Good afternoon, Milo."

"Good afternoon, Ms. Davis."

"May I?" she motioned at the door.

"He's in with someone right now."

"That's fine. I'll just have one of those mocha java blast venti latte whatever they are called while I wait for him to be free again."

Milo nodded, with a sweet smile on his lips, as she walked away. After she had her coffee she sat down at a table, and was looking at her blackberry- checking out a website that was having a shoe sale- when Jason's office door opened.

Out walked Liz Webber. Looking quite emotional. She hurried out of the coffee shop.

Liz. She wasn't in the Will. Either was her son, Jacob Martin. But that didn't mean there were not arrangements made to see that Jake got his fair share of Jason's estate. It would be divided equally between him, Michael, Morgan, Spinelli and Carly's baby son: Matthew Jason Jacks, who everyone called M.J.

Jake's part went into a trust. The trust then had to be accessed by Emily. But the money was there for Jason's child should he need it.

Alexis wondered if whatever made Liz emotional had to do with the fact that she had broken her latest engagement to Lucky. She was at Jason's trial everyday. Defeating the purpose of all the distance she put between them in the last few years.

Alexis tensed up.

It shouldn't matter to her if Jason was thinking of getting with the mother of his child another time. So why did she suddenly feel sick? And territorial?

Jason was his own man. He could do what he wanted and with who.

Grabbing her briefcase and coffee, she headed for his office. He stood when she walked in. "Hey."

"Hello. I'm hear to go over your Will. It shouldn't take more than an hour. You remembered our meeting was scheduled for now, right?"

He nodded and sat down.

They spent the next fifty minutes in working mode. She ended up sitting on the edge of the desk, with her legs crossed, sucking on the arm of her eye glasses, and reading over a codicil to his Will, when she heard a very soft...barely audible....moan escape Jason's lips.

She stiffened. Her nipples tightened. She felt her juices start to flow. Her eyes fluttered. Butterflies danced underneath her rib cage.

And that was all before she turned and looked at him. Sitting in his chair, staring at her legs where her skirt had rode up slightly and looking like he wanted to lick her from her toes to her slit, then back down again, back up again, down again, up again, down again....gulp.

She asked him "How about drinks at Jake's since we're done here?"

He popped out of his seat. "I'll drive."

Her eyes went to the bulge in his pants.

There's no reason to over think everything so much, Alexis told herself. I am an adult and I like sex. Its not a crime....and anyway.....he's too hard to keep saying no to....and I'm too wet to want to say no another time.

She packed up her briefcase. "I'll meet you there."

His eyes bore into hers.

She gave him a small smile. "What? Do you think I won't show up?"

"See you there in twenty minutes. Twenty. Not twenty one."

"And if I catch a red light?"

"Expect me to come looking for you." With that he grabbed his jacket and walked out.

Alexis let out a long breath, as Milo looked in at her. She hurried off the desk and turned away, adjusting her clothes.

She could hardly believe she was getting ready to go to a roadside, rundown bar with Jason. But she was. And she couldn't wait.
