Jason Morgan and Alexis Davis, canon

Chapter Six

December 4th, 2009

Friday

After Coleman announced to everyone in Jake's- which was only three people- that Jason and Alexis were dating, Jason said to her "Lets get out of here." He threw money on the bar.

Coleman said "No way, man. Put that moolah back in your wallet. Your cash's no good here."

Jason pointed at him in a way that said he would catch up with him later.

Coleman said "Whoa, man, I offend you somehow? Stay for a round on the house. Everyone leaves Jake's with a smile on their face. Stick around and relax with your lady love....a fine lady, if I do say so myself."

Jason felt a growl grumbling in the back of his throat. There was only so much Coleman he could take. Hadn't he told that ass to just pour drinks and keep his country mouth shut?

Jason helped Alexis into her coat and then went outside into the frigid winter air.

He could see her breath. He had the urge to hug her to keep her warm. But that was getting a little ahead of himself. First he had to find out if she was up for this trip with him this weekend or not.

She seemed stunned still.

He had decided she wanted dates. If she didn't then she would be fucking him right now. Since she instead brought up getting drinks at a bar, not naked in his Penthouse, he decided it would be dating then hot, dirty, long love making sessions.

Not that he was looking for love, neccesarily, but they were friends so it wasn't like just picking up a stranger or anything.

They couldn't have a decent first date in this damn city so he wanted to take her somewhere she wouldn't worry at all about who saw them. About gossip. Her reputation. Her kid's feelings. Her ex.

That meant out of town.

Anywhere would do for him. He had pass keys for Metro Court Hotels in several different cities. Not that it had to be there. He was up for anything.

Work could wait for two days. The Zaccharas were done- with John out of the business, Claudia dead, and Anthony locked up. There was no immediate threat.

He could spare the time. And if Sonny didn't like it then he could fuck off. Jason wanted this, and if Alexis wanted it to, they would have it.

He leaned close to her, as they stood by her car. He was behind her. He whispered against her ear. "Yeah?" he asked, prompting her about if she wanted to go out of town with him or not.

She shivered. Her eyes drifted close. He wrapped his arms around her and pressed himself against her. Getting a little to lax in watching his ass in public from a drive by but she made him only think about one thing: putting a smile on her face.

Getting his hands on her naked flesh should more than make her smile- if she was as hot for him as he was for her. Taking her to dinner and talking about whatever the hell she brought up should also get him a few more smiles. Maybe he'd even dance with her- once. For a smile.

Three months in prison, thinking about her, and two days of her giving him looks like he was nuts to believe he could be her man, had his head consumed with the idea of proving to Alexis they would work in and out of the bedroom.

Then she'd never tell him Don't again.

"All right."

All right? All right? I just agreed to go out of town with Jason,. she rambled to herself, Well, its official. I've became a wanton sexual slave to this man. He says jump and I say: What bed, sir? But there are worse things to be, aren't there? Sure there are. And a vacation would be nice after three months of working hard on his case. A good reward for a job well done. Plus it could be interesting to make Jason drop his cold facade like he did inside of Jake's a few minutes earlier...get a few more chuckles from him. This man who was so silent and withdrawn for years there. I could be good for him. And he could be good to me....give me some orgasms I don't have to be solo in experiencing or regret the next day because the man wasn't someone I even liked. And beyond orgasms we could swim, have drinks, talk about grown up adult things that I can't talk to the kids about and Diane and Kate are too self absorbed to care about. It could be fun. Why not?

Jason ordered, his mouth warm on her cold earlobe, "Go home and pack. A driver will pick you up at six."

She nodded then opened the car door, with shaking hands. Alexis turned around. Finding her boldness again she told him "Aruba."

"Done."

"Rent a villa with a private pool and hot tub."

"Got it."

"And only if you are looking to ruin my mood would you even think of telling Carly about this before we leave."

His eyes held hers. "Go pack. Now."

"No."

He raised an eyebrow.

Then she brought her mouth to his, giving him a very quick kiss, and pulled back. "Now I will go pack, call my nanny and cancel my brunch plans for Sunday with Diane."

She slipped into the car. Jason leaned down, before she closed the door, and murmured "Thanks."

"Lets wait till Monday and see who is thanking who more."

He gave her a small grin and then stood up. He closed the door, gave her one nod, and then she started the Mercedes and drove away. Her body was burning up. Her bra felt tight and uncomfortable. Her panties were rubbing against her sending shocks through her over heated slick folds.

Damn. They hadn't even had a wild, tongue tangling kiss yet, and already her body was throbbing for Jason. Calling out his name.

He was one lethal man.

He had her all turned around and she didn't want to get back on track the way she used to be in her boring, unsatisfying, old style.

She wanted a hot, sweaty, naked weekend of debauchery with Jason instead.

A few hours later, after Alexis told the her two youngest daughters that she was going out of town with Jason to deal with a legal matter at one of Sonny's casinos, she realized she would have to call Sonny- or else that lie could be blown out of the water before she ever got home.

And she did not want to explain anything to Molly, Kristina and especially to Sam till she knew if her and Jason were going to last beyond the next two days. No reason to tell them something she might not have to.

She wished she didn't have a reason to tell Sonny either. But there were only so many out-of-town legal things that Jason and Alexis could be going to together. Anything she said, they could easy bring up to Sonny, Michael, Morgan, Carly or Jax. So she had to make sure Sonny backed up her story.

For the girl's sake.

This was a conversation she never expected to have with her ex. She could ask Jason to do it, which would be so much easier, but she wasn't the type to foist off her problems on a man. She'd handle it herself.

Alexis was in her bedroom, with the door locked, and her suitcase nearly all the way packed, when she called Sonny's cell.

"Alexis."

"Hello, Sonny. Having a nice, quiet, violence and plotting revenge-free, evening?"

"Yeah. What's up? The girls doing okay?"

"Perfect. Molly is counting the days till the hospital Christmas party because Kristina has been roped into playing an elf this year. Molly has her camera ready."

He chuckled. "I'll make sure to be there."

"You should. Kristina will love that. No matter if she pouts through the whole night." After a pause she said "Well, this call is neither easy or one I relish making, so I'm going to spit it out quick...."

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Nothing is wrong, per se. Something is just different....per se."

"Yeah, different how? Hooking up with that asshole Floyd again different?"

"No! Of course not! Sonny, really. I think that man did enough to my career for me to not even push him out of the way if a speeding bus, or Helena, was barreling towards him and the only thing standing between him and certain death was my generous spirit. He'd be one dead former mayor should that situation present itself."

"Good. So...different how? I can tell this has got some guy's name written all over it."

"I take offense to that. My life does not revolve around my bed partners."

He chuckled. "I didn't mean it like that. I just know how you get when you're...like this...not wanting to tell me who you're...."

"Do not say it."

He laughed. "What?"

"I know what term you use and its not fit for polite company."

"Now you're company?"

"I'd like politeness all the same."

"Okay, okay, counselor. Just tell me what you got to tell me? I'm ready for it. Its not about no guy up in your bed. So what it is about?"

After letting out a breath, she told him, in a prim tone "Jason and I."

"Yeah? Your working relationship? What about it? You quitting him?"

"That has not been decided yet. Though mixing business with pleasure is so messy, isn't it, Sonny?"

"Pleasure...huh?"

"If anyone asks you I'm out of town this weekend with Jason because you're having trouble with the unions at one of your casino and I'm helping with new contracts."

"Huh? Say again?"

"Jason and I are going away this weekend and it would be best, for all involved, if the true nature of our reason for being away was kept confidential. Don't make me say anymore."

There was a long pause. She imagined him staring at the phone and shaking his head. "Uh....huh...mmm. This is...I just don't get this."

"Happy holidays, Sonny. I'm really glad we've reached this mature point in our friendship. Tell Olivia I send my regards. Well, talk to you next week then. And remember....labor dispute...with your casino...and that is all, for the sake of peace regaining in my little corner of this world do not stray from the party line."

"Uh..."

"Good bye, Sonny."

Alexis hung up. Her heart raced. This weekend better be worth all she was going through. She had already spent five hundred plus dollars at a boutique buying lingerie, two hundred on a new bathing suit and sarong, and braved the condom aisle at the drug store. Just in case Jason didn't bring enough.

Now she told Sonny she was screwing Jason and made up a fib for her daughters. She could certainly use a glass of wine when she got on that private jet tonight.

Jason was in his living room, shoving his extra bullets into his duffle bag, when his phone rang. "Yeah?"

"You're banging Alexis?"

"You got to use that term? Come on, Sonny."

"That is the mother of my kid."

"Then show her some respect!"

"What.....what's going on with you two? Huh? This is coming out of left field. Since when do you even like Alexis in any way, shape or form? Huh? You just tolerated her. You two got nothing in common."

"We....got close...working on my case."

"You're taking her somewhere this weekend? You even think about coming to see me first?"

"Why would I do that?"

"Like I said...she's the mother of my kid!"

"You got a problem with this? Because...if you do....I'd say its your problem. Not mine."

After a long minute, Sonny said "At least she had the guts to tell me."

"I planned to tell you. Just not today. Because its my business. I'd tell you when I wanted you to know."

"Of course its your business when you tell me. I just don't like feeling like...you two were sneaking around...or something...but whatever. She wants me to tell people, if they ask, you two are doing some legal stuff at one of the casinos."

"Whatever. Tell people whatever she wants. I don't care. Look, I got to go. I'm heading to the airport."

"Check in this weekend. Being out of contact isn't safe."

"Fine."

"All right, Jason, well.....this is Alexis...so...you know...that makes this...completely different, you know? I'm concerned about this...about how this goes. I've seen her hurt before and you know I never like when that happens. Just remember that."

"The last thing I would do is use or hurt her. You know me better than that."

"All right then. Talk to you later."

Jason clicked off his phone without saying anything else. Now he wanted Alexis more than ever. Because being with her would take away the knots forming in his shoulders after dealing with Sonny.

And because she had been brave enough to do something Jason knew she had to hate- tell Sonny she was interested in Jason- so they could have their weekend together.

Alexis was not only smoking hot, smart as hell, dangerous as all fuck, she was also loyal and she was amazing.

No little girl unsure of herself like the types that sometimes threw themselves at Jason in bars. It was easy to walk away from them.

It was looking like it would be hard to ever want to walk away from Alexis. Not that he wanted to. He wasn't planning an escape route for after this weekend. Right now the only thing on his mind was getting to the airport and seeing her walk onto his jet.

Seeing her be brave and bold for him again. And knowing he was even closer to getting her stripped down to just a few pieces of lace, laying on a bed, begging for him to fuck her till she forgot her own name.

This weekend was going to be so good for him. So damn good.
