Chapter 6

Carly stepped onto the porch of Alexis's house just as Sam walked out the door. "Carly, I was just on my way to the hospital." Sam said looking at the other woman. Carly had been married to Sonny when Sam showed up pregnant with the mob boss's daughter. Sam didn't really like Carly but found her useful from time to time. Now hopefully would be one those. She needed the blonde to get back in Jason's good graces.

"This won't take long." Carly said looking at the other woman's outfit. You would think she could find something other than skin-tight jeans to visit her dying mother.

"Did you get a chance to talk to Jason?" Sam wasn't making any headway with her former boyfriend. Since she had lost Sonny and Jax she was determined to hang onto Jason. As his girlfriend she was a somebody and she really liked that. If Carly could get him to marry Sonny's sister then she could get them back together.

"No, and I'm not going to. See I found out what, or should I say who, you were doing the night of the blackout. Sleeping with one of your sister's fathers I'll forgive you didn't know Alexis was your mother at the time. But sleeping with a second, who is married to your mother who is dying, is just disgusting. So I'm here to tell you that if you so much as look in Jason's direction I will destroy you." Carly got right up in Sam's face.

Her facial expression didn't change but inside Sam was shaking someone had seen her with Ric. If this got back to Alexis, her mother would never forgive her. Neither would her sisters. She needed to find out who knew. "I was drunk and he took advantage of me."

"Please, when Ric made me think that he had raped me I was drunk and he took advantage of me. You, you're just a slut who got caught." Carly turned to go. "Did you really think I wanted you with Jason, after you came to town and broke up my marriage?"

"If Jason isn't with me then he'll go running back to Elizabeth." Sam played her ace. Yes the other woman was married but Sam had seen Jason and the nurse together. She knew it was only a matter of time unless they were kept apart. With Lucky running around on pain pills and screwing that teenager Jason had an opening.

"It's too late. They are already together." Carly enjoyed the look of rage that came across Sam's face. "You lose bitch." With that she walked away, she and Jax had a plane to catch.

Jason came downstairs after reading Cam a story to find Elizabeth stretched out on the couch. They had a great dinner together. Cam had talked about his day and had asked Jason about a million questions while the adults smiled at him. Jason had helped with bath time telling Cameron all about the big boats that brought in the coffee from South America. Now the little boy was asleep. It was a nice normal ending to the day.

Walking over to the couch he picked up Elizabeth's feet and placed them on his lap. Removing her socks he started a massage. She moaned and all the blood in his body flowed to his groin. She'd groaned like that when they were in bed together and he was buried as deep in her body as he could get. "Feel good?"

"Yes." She couldn't remember the last time someone had given her a foot rub. If he kept that up then she would soon be a puddle. "You don't have to." She said only half protesting.

"Maybe I want to." He said knowing he was going to like spoiling her. He gave both feet some attention before stretching out behind her. Pulling her into his body he kissed behind her ear and she shivered in his arms. "We need to talk."

"I know." She said not feeling relaxed anymore. "What do you want to start with?" They had a few things to cover. He sat up and she followed suit.

"I want to be in a relationship with you." He could tell that she was surprised that he just spit it out. That was not how it had been in the past. He tried to not make the same mistake twice he knew he needed to talk with Elizabeth. "I want us to really try. No running, no bailing, no letting other people have a say in our private lives."

"We need to make sure that we talk to each other before talking to our friends. If one of us hears something we can't jump to conclusions, we need to find the other person and clear the air right away." Elizabeth knew what their strengths and weaknesses were.

"I'm not leaving the business. But I promise to do everything in my power to keep you and Cameron safe. There will be guards, and times when you can't go out. There will be times when I need you to go to island and there will be things I can't tell you." Jason wanted her to know what type of life she was signing up for. "I will give you all of me when I'm with you, but there will be times that I have to leave and won't be able to call."

"I understand Jason. When I was younger I didn't. I saw it as you not trusting me. I was hurt when Sonny faked his death and no one told me. Looking back I'm glad I didn't know. The Courtney thing still stings." She admitted not looking at him. It was kind of petty to be jealous of a dead woman.

"The Zander thing still hurts." He admitted to her knowing that he didn't have to tell her that he would never hold that against Cam. "We both did and said things that ripped us apart. We both listened to people we shouldn't have. If we can put each other first and tell everyone else to stay the hell out of our relationship we can get it right this time."

"Yeah we can. I think we've finally figured out the timing." Elizabeth said smiling.

"Well I know we've got the rhythm down." He said referring to their time in bed.

"Jason." Elizabeth lightly smacked his arm, blushing brightly.

Jason laughed. In bed he couldn't ask for a more open and giving partner. Out of bed just talking about sex made her blush. He loved that contrast. He also really liked teasing her. "So you'll be my girl?" He needed to hear the words.

"Yeah, I'll be your girl." She said softly.

"Thank you." Jason said kissing her lightly, mindful of her lip.

"Jason, could we wait until my bruises fade before we are together again. I don't want to come to your bed with marks from another man on me." She wouldn't look at him. It shamed her that Lucky had beaten her.

"Elizabeth, look at me." When she did he saw that her eyes were sparkling with unshed tears. "We have time, I didn't assume that because we made love last night that you would jump back into bed with me."

"But I want to." She admitted. Sex with him had been amazing and she wanted to experience that again.

"Is that right?" He said a little surprised at how bold she was being, but liking it. "Well when your bruises are gone you come find me." It might seem fast to others but they had waited years to get here. He was going to hold on with both hands. "Now, about Lucky, why were you getting an annulment?"

"We never consummated the marriage." She admitted looking up at him.

He had to hold back a shout of joy. To know that she hadn't slept with the putz was petty, but he couldn't help it. "Does it make me a bad person to be happy about that?" He asked her.

"Nope, I'm happy about it myself. Who knows where he's been." She shuddered hard. "I hope Maxie made him wear a condom."

"Can you tell me about when he attacked you?" Jason took a deep breath to get himself ready.

She nodded. "He wasn't there when I got home. I just wanted to get some clothes and important papers. I was finishing up when he walked into the bedroom." She wrapped herself in her arms and then relaxed some when she felt his arms come around her. "We started arguing. He didn't even deny that he was sleeping with Maxie. He said that if I was doing my job he wouldn't need to go out."

Jason pulled her closer wanting to get his hands on Lucky. More than anything he wanted to hurt the other man. How dare he blame Elizabeth for his weaknesses. Trying to be supportive he ran his hands up and down her back. "Is that when he attacked you?"

"I called him a junkie, he called me a whore for sleeping with Patrick, which isn't true." She rolled her eyes. "Then he asked where I was during the blackout and I told him. I was pissed and not thinking. He said that he would simply take what I was giving to other men." She wrapped her arms around Jason and burrowed in.

"It's okay baby, I'm right here take your time." He didn't think he'd ever been this angry in his life. Lucky had been the one to find her after Tom Baker raped her. He had to know what attacking her like that would do to her.

"I was so scared, but I wasn't going to let him hurt me. I pointed his gun at him to get him to leave. He must have been really high because he didn't even notice that the gun wasn't loaded." She hadn't either until after he left. "He was so high I don't think he would have been able to rape me, but he could have beaten me even worse than he did." She was surprised he was able to function for Maxie.

"We have men looking for him." Jason told her wanting her to know that they were doing all they could.

"I know. I know that you will do what you feel is necessary to keep us safe." Elizabeth relaxed against him. It had been a long day and she was tired. She just wanted a few minutes with Jason before going up to bed.

He walked up to the front door like there weren't people actively searching for him. Knocking he waited and eventually heard footsteps on the other side. Standing where she could see him when she looked through the peephole he waited for her to open the door. "Lucky what are you doing here?" Audrey asked.

He was here to get Cameron but she didn't need to know that. Elizabeth was not going to get away with being Jason Morgan's whore. He would take the only thing in her life that she valued. She spent enough time with Zander's bastard, time that she should have been spending with him. So he would take the little boy and then she would have no choice but to come back to him.

He'd showered and shaved before coming over. Audrey had always been on his side when it came to Elizabeth. Like him she wanted her as far away from that brain-damaged thug as possible. "I came to talk to you about Elizabeth."

Audrey looked him over and stepping back admitted him into the house. "What would you like to talk about?" Even if he was using drugs Audrey didn't think Lucky had a mean bone in his body. She still remembered how careful he'd been with Elizabeth after she'd been hurt. Why her granddaughter would walk away from all that they had for a common criminal was beyond her.

"Is Cameron here? I haven't seen him in a while. I kept asking Elizabeth to bring him home but she wouldn't." Lucky told the older woman. Nothing could be further from the truth. He'd been glad when she moved the brat out.

"No, Elizabeth has him with her." Audrey poured them both tea.

"Do you know where they are staying? We can't work past this misunderstanding if we don't talk. I know if we talk we can work things out." Lucky said laying it on thick.

"I know. She's just being stubborn. I have no idea where they are staying, but I'm going to guess that Jason Morgan knows." Audrey's tone made it clear what she thought about that. "I told her she needed to help you with your addiction after all you have done for her."

"I don't have an addiction." Lucky immediately protested feeling his temper rise.

"It's nothing to be ashamed of. With the proper care and support you will be able to work past this. I don't mind having Cameron stay with me for as long as you need. Once Elizabeth is back she can help you get off the pain pills." Audrey was confident that her plan would work.

"I don't have a problem." Lucky claimed through clenched teeth. She was being a bitch just like her whore of a granddaughter. "Why do you keep saying that I HAVE A PROBLEM!?" He ended on a shout.

The swift change in personality and rise in temper made Audrey understand now that she should not have let Lucky into her house. She was no doubt seeing what her granddaughter had said this morning. The young man across the table was someone she didn't know. Someone who scared her. "Of course you don't have a problem." Audrey backtracked trying to talk her grandson in-law down. She needed to get him out of her house and give him time to relax some. When she saw Elizabeth she would apologize and tell her she could come home. It was clear that Lucky did need help, as a family they could see that he got it. "Well Elizabeth isn't coming back tonight. I will see her tomorrow at work and tell her you are looking for her."

Audrey got up and headed toward the front door. Lucky got up and followed her he wanted more than anything to bash her head in. His temper was reaching the point where he would have trouble controlling it. However he needed her because eventually Elizabeth would return home. Morgan would discover that she was frigid and get bored. Stepping onto the porch as the older woman closed and locked the door. Lucky went back to the place he was staying to wait. All he had to do was be patient. Elizabeth was his and he couldn't wait to let her know that.

Sonny opened the door. It was almost midnight. "You're late."

"Weather delays." Was the answer he got.

"Go ahead upstairs. We'll go see Jason in the morning. Be quiet the kids are sleeping." Sonny instructed. Once the house was locked up he went back to his room. Since they were having some trouble with Alcazar and now Lucky was running around acting like an ass, some extra help was needed. Now that it had arrived things would get handled.

Thank you for the reviews, the follows and the favorites! The fact that so many of you are enjoying the story makes me really happy.
