Not Safe For Work

Chapter 8

"So why Puerto Rico?" AJ wanted to know. Everyone was seated around the table.

"Jason asked that I change from my original destination." Howie said smiling. He wasn't worried about Jason and AJ. He was however worried about what the women of the family would do to the two brothers. "I have never been to Aruba and I thought it would be nice to take your mother. Maybe in the spring."

Jason and AJ looked at one another. Howie was already planning a second trip. "But you've been to Puerto Rico?" AJ continued. Jason wouldn't join in just yet.

"I have. Several times." Howie grinned. "It's beautiful, and nice change of weather this time of year."

"Business or pleasure?" AJ asked giving the older man a frosty smile.

"Both." Howie wasn't going to volunteer any information. They were gonna have to work for every nugget. "It's a quick trip from New York."

"When you go for other than business purposes do you go alone?" Jason wanted to know. He knew Howie had never been married, but aside from that knew nothing about the older man's personal history where women were concerned.

"One of the perks of having your own plane is that you can take friends along when you travel." Howie said giving a non-answer. He had discussed his past relationships with Monica, no one else needed to know about them.

"There are some gorgeous beaches." Elizabeth said joining the conversation. "Jason and I did some exploring on our last trip down."

"I'm looking forward to showing Monica the black sand beaches." Howie smiled at her from down the table. Jason had made sure they weren't sitting together.

"They are not to be missed." Jason said with a tight smile.

"Where are you staying?" AJ wanted to know. "Which of the hotels at the resort?"

"Actually we have a private cabin for the week, not on the resort grounds but affiliated with it so we can use the amenities." Howie grinned. "Hotels have a lot of foot traffic and I thought Monica would enjoy something more private."

Edward just chuckled. 'Well played.' He thought to himself. Both Jason and AJ were frowning at that.

"I'd feel more comfortable with you at the hotel." Jason told Howie. "It's more secure."

"The cabin is quite secure, I promise." It actually belonged to the Jacks family. Carly had called and offered it this afternoon. Howie saw no need to tell that to Jason or AJ. "I would never take your mother somewhere and not make sure she is safe." He noted all the ladies were smirking a bit. This family was always entertaining.

"How come you aren't flying the plane on the way down?" Jason had been curious about that.

"A co-pilot is never a bad idea." Howie stated shrugging. "Especially on an international flight. One of my employees is going down for the holiday anyway so we may as well travel together. With him at the helm I can spend time with Monica. I hate to ignore a guest."

"It just seems that you could have picked a better time for this trip." Jason stated. "The holidays should be spent with family."

"This was best for our schedules." Was all Howie would say, the timing was actually Monica's idea, but he had no problem letting Jason and AJ think otherwise.

"It's not like most of the family will be here anyway." Keesha pointed out. "So why not take advantage of that." She said effectively cutting off Jason's argument. "I know that AJ and I have been planning our trip since September."

"Jax and I started planning around the same time." Carly piped up.

"Didn't you suggest we go to Italy at one point?" Elizabeth added in.

"I changed my mind when I realized that all the younger kids would be able to participate this year." Jason said trying not to glare at his wife.

"That's a moot point, they won't remember this Christmas." Carly said waving the argument away. "But since you are worried let's all vow to be here next year."

"That works for us." Keesha said smiling.

"That works for us as well. Monica can you plan on hosting?" Elizabeth suggested watching Jason try not to bend his fork. He and AJ were losing, badly.

"I can. Everyone can stay here." Monica said finally joining the conversation. "I was wondering if anyone had time to shop in the next few days. I need some new swimwear." Both her boys choked on their water.

"Come to the boutique, I'll make sure to be free. We have some great new things that just came in. How much skin do you want to show?" Carly added at the end to be mean.

"You know Puerto Rico has nude beaches. Since you don't have any little ones with you why get tan lines." Maya couldn't help it. She planned on staying neutral, but the opportunity was too good to pass up. "I visited one when I went down last year on spring break."

"Tan lines are a nuisance." Emily threw in. Her brothers were turning green. "We went to one on our honeymoon. I think there is one at the resort? Right Jason?" She said trying not to laugh. "If not I'm sure the concierge can tell you where one is."

"Will you need evening wear?" Elizabeth took pity on her husband and brother and steered the conversation away from their female family members getting naked.

"For at least two nights." Howie provided the answer.

"Really?" Monica said smiling. "He's been stingy with the details."

"He's planning surprises that is so romantic." Emily gushed. "I can't wait until you get back to hear all the details. Let me know if you need to borrow my camera. So Maya any luck on finding a place to live?" Emily moved the conversation away from the trip while her brothers fumed.

"Not just yet. I was planning on looking through some ads tonight when Keesha invited me along." Maya picked up the ball.

"You can of course stay here." Monica would love to have them. "We have plenty of space. You don't need to worry about rules or such. I respect your need for privacy in your personal life." The surgeon threw in a subtle dig at her sons.

"I'm sure your mom would like knowing that you are somewhere safe." Elizabeth added wondering if Jason was going to crack a tooth. They were now talking over the brothers. Every single time he or AJ opened their mouths to speak one of the women spoke up.

"She was hoping that I would stay in Philadelphia, but I wanted to work at General Hospital, and this was a good move for Zoe." The college student was the result of an affair their father had so there was friction between her and Maya's mother.

"We are glad to have you here." Edward said smiling at Maya. He could see some of Mary Mae in her.

"Yes we are." Monica seconded. "Besides why pay rent, if you don't have to. Interns don't make much money."

"Rents are higher here than in Philly." Maya had been surprised by that.

"Blame the wonder twins." Carly said poking fun at Jason and AJ. "They've been rehabbing the docks and that is increasing the property values everywhere."

"That's a good thing." Edward told Carly. He was also involved in the revitalization of the waterfront. ELQ would make a pretty penny on their investment. It was as close as he would come to working with either of his grandsons that lived in Port Charles. They didn't jointly own any buildings, but all three of them owned neighboring properties.

"I never said it wasn't." Carly conceded. Her business smarts had come as a surprise to Edward. "We are also investing." They were building a nightclub as well as luxury condos that had waterfront views. Jax was also looking to acquire retail space in the area. "But it does drive up the rents."

"Jason is building some affordable housing in the area that should help level things out." Elizabeth added. She knew that he had her in mind when he proposed the project to the city. When she was younger she lived in that neighborhood because it was all she could afford at the time. If there was no place for the middle class, the college students, and those just starting out in the work force to live then Port Charles would rapidly die. A younger population was needed to keep a city vital.

"AJ is focusing on business opportunities. The housing market doesn't really interest him much." Keesha added. Her husband was too busy pouting to take part in the conversation. "And for the record I just want to say that Maya and Zoe are welcomed to stay right where they are." Keesha said smiling at her cousin.

"We know." Maya said laughing.

"Did you book an appointment to have your car looked at?" Emily asked her cousin. "I had to jump Maya's car in the garage."

"Not yet. Can you recommend someplace?" Maya asked looking at Jason.

"I'll call the garage we go to for you." Elizabeth volunteered, she was afraid what would come out of her husband's mouth if he was allowed to talk. He wouldn't hesitate to turn the conversation back to Howie and Monica's trip. "They will fix whatever the issue is."

"We have several cars in the garage that no one is using." Edward offered. "I myself own cars that I don't drive." He almost exclusively used the limo these days. "It would be good for them to see some sunlight. I'd be happy to give one to you, and Zoe as well. I don't want to have to worry about you being stuck somewhere."

"I'll think about it." Maya hadn't grown up poor, but she wasn't used to Quartermaine money. It did make her feel good to know that the family had no problem using that wealth to improve the lives of others. Keesha had told her that ELQ was the primary sponsor of the Mary Mae Ward House, and that Morgan Corelli industries gave generously as well. Quartermaine Inc., which was AJ's company supported the hospital's care fund which made sure anyone who didn't have insurance, but needed medical attention got it. The Jacks family gave generously to the local schools making sure the kids had supplies, up to date computers, and scholarship funds. Everyone did their part.

"I can make them Christmas gifts if you like." Edward was going to get his way.

"You don't give up do you grandfather?" Maya suspected conversations like this would be common place.

Edward beamed at the how she addressed him. "Nope." He admitted.

"Edward doesn't know the meaning of the word." Monica said smiling. She really did hope the girls agreed to move in. This house needed more noise.

"We should get the boys home. Thank you for dinner mom." Elizabeth liked winning.

"Yes, we should try to do this more often." Emily missed sitting around the table. "With so much medical personnel in the family that might be a tall order, but we should try for at least once a month getting everyone together."

"I like the sound of that." Carly never would have imagined the Quartermaine's as her family two years ago. With Bobbie living in Seattle now, it was nice to have a people she could lean on if it was necessary. It was even nicer to have girlfriends to gossip with.

"Me too." Elizabeth said smiling at Carly. "Jason you get Cameron, and I'll grab Jake." Both boys were flagging a bit. Howie had spent most of the evening, after Jason and AJ, making Cameron giggle.

"I need to get home and make sure the guys haven't destroyed the house. The last time I left them alone a water gun fight broke out." Carly said picking up Joss.

"Meg's bed time is coming up too." Keesha handed their daughter to her father. "Have a good trip mom." She said kissing Monica's cheek, they wouldn't see one another again until after the holiday.

"Yeah, have fun." Carly let Monica kiss Joss before they exchanged hugs.

"You too." Monica said wishing both women safe travels. "Let me kiss on my grandsons a bit." She hugged Elizabeth as well. "Thank you." She whispered. Her daughter just winked.

In a flurry of activity everyone left. Both AJ and Jason noted that Howie was not among those departing. That made them both frown harder.

Elizabeth waited until both boys were asleep before addressing dinner. "Would you like to explain why you called your brother?" She asked as he walked back into the bedroom.

"Me? You called Emily, Carly, and Keesha." Jason pointed out.

"Of course I did. You and AJ were going to gang up on Howie." Elizabeth wasn't backing down. "Your mother deserves a social life."

"She can have one, here in Port Charles were I can make sure her boyfriend behaves." Jason shot back.

"Where is this coming from?" Elizabeth asked confused. "Jason, Howie is a good man. You know that. Why are you so upset that he's seeing your mother?" There was no point in arguing about anything else, because this was the main issue.

"It's not him." Jason mumbled.

"Then what is it?" Elizabeth wanted to know.

"They just started dating, it's too soon to be taking trips together." Jason said to his wife. "They need to slow down."

Elizabeth walked across the room until she was able to give Jason a hug. She suspected that what they talked about last night was at the root of this. He was going to have to work out the fear of losing his mother on his own, she couldn't fix that for him. "Howie makes her happy. Don't you want that? Don't you want your mom happy? As happy as we are."

"I do." Jason said holding his wife close. "I want her happy."

"Good." Elizabeth said walking over and lighting the fireplace. She was worried that her plans for the evening were going to get derailed. "Then stop cock blocking her."

Jason's head whipped up. "What?" He asked surprised.

"You heard me. You and AJ should be ashamed of yourselves." Elizabeth said trying to sound stern. She never said that word, in fact she didn't talk dirty at all so she knew that it would make Jason hot. The grin that was spreading across his face said her plan was working.

"Say it again." He said walking over to where she was standing and grinning.

"What? That you should be ashamed of yourself?" Elizabeth asked playing dumb. "Because you and AJ should."

"You said the word cock." Jason gave her a devilish grin. "You never say that word. It was hot." He pressed his arousal against her stomach. "Say it again." He demanded.

She just blushed and looked away.

Jason started laughing. Elizabeth had gotten more confident in the time that he was gone, and that confidence only grew with his return. She spoke her mind more often and had no problem letting him know when he was being an idiot. Tonight was proof of that. She had rallied the troops to protect Monica. He had to respect that. Although he was still going to be watching Howie. But when it came to sex his girl was still really shy a lot of the time. There was no shame in what they did with one another, and in bed she didn't hold back. She even initiated them being intimate, but normally he was the aggressor. And she never talked dirty. "Please?" He asked softly against the fragrant skin of her neck.

What he was doing felt really good. Jason was a very attentive lover, always making sure she was satisfied. She knew he was beyond happy with their sex life, but at the same time she knew that there were things she could do to make it even better. Things she could do just for him. It would require that she push herself some, but she was safe with him. If it made her too uncomfortable all she had to do was say so. "Cock." She said softly.

Jason pushed his wife to the blanket she had in front of the fireplace. "What would like for me to do with my cock?" Jason asked her. When she just blushed harder and shook her head no, he knew she had gone as far as she was going to go for the night. "How about if I show you what I want to do?" He asked glad they were already dressed for bed. He pushed the straps of her nightgown off her shoulders baring her to his gaze. "So pretty."

"Jason." Elizabeth sighed as Jason's hands covered her breasts and gently massaged. "That feels so good."

"This will feel better." He whispered before covering her hardened peaks with his mouth and sucking softly. He felt her hands pushing down his sleep pants as he pulled up the skirt of her night gown. Her legs came around his waist as he lifted his head. "In a rush?"

"Yes. I am impatient to have you." She said letting her nails lightly score the skin of his back.

"I'm impatient to have you too." He said as he pushed inside her stretching her so that she accepted all of him. "I'm always impatient to have you."

Her back arched in pleasure and she groaned low as he sank as far inside her snug channel as he could. "Now." She demanded as his hips began to pump. Sometimes it was slow and gentle between them and others it was fast and urgent. Tonight she didn't want to wait.

"Let me feel it baby, let me feel you coming around my cock." Jason ordered pumping harder.

"YES!" She cried out as she shattered.

Jason growled in pleasure as he followed her over. When his breathing was back to normal he picked her up and carried her to their bed. Their night was just getting started.

Thanks for the reviews!
