Chapter 51

"So what did they say?" Elizabeth asked Jason. He'd hung up the phone a few minutes ago.

"Ric is dead." Jason told her everything that had been told to him.

"He wanted to take me to Europe." Elizabeth was shocked by that. Ric really had been insane. It wasn't even like she had given him any encouragement in his pursuit. She placed her hand over her stomach as she realized something.

"Everything okay?" Jason placed his hand over hers.

"He would have done something to me to make me lose the baby. If he had succeeded he would have killed our child." In her heart she knew that to be true. "How did I not see for so long what kind of a monster he was?"

"He didn't succeed. You didn't see it because at one point you loved him." Jason didn't say it as an accusation but as a fact. "I loved Sam once and I'm fairly certain if she was still alive and knew about the baby she would have helped him. I didn't see that side of her until we broke up. You and I both made mistakes and let people in our lives that we shouldn't have."

"He can't hurt our baby, that's all that matters." Elizabeth gave Jason a smile.

"You're right, that's what is most important." Jason would get over not being the one to kill Ric, although he hated that Lorenzo had been the one to do it.

"We have an appointment next week." Elizabeth said still smiling.

"Will Kelly be able to tell what the sex is?" He still didn't care if it a boy or a girl, he just wanted to know so they could start getting ready.

"Not at this appointment, but in December she might be able to if the baby co-operates." Elizabeth smiled wider. "I still think that the baby's a boy."

"I'm not going to argue. If you say the baby's a boy then I agree." Jason gave her a soft kiss. "Can you feel him moving yet?" He knew it would be some time still before he could feel it. Elizabeth hadn't even started showing yet.

"No it's still too early. In a few weeks I'll be able to, and a few weeks after that you'll be able to feel him kicking." Elizabeth couldn't wait for Jason to feel the life they created together moving inside her.

"I'm looking forward to that. I remember how amazing it felt when Cam kicked." Jason told her smiling.

"That was a long time ago." Elizabeth leaned against him.

"It's late we should go to bed." He kissed her this time deeper.

"Are you tired?" She smirked at him. "Did I wear you out?" So far they hadn't left the cabin.

"I'm not the least bit tired I work out every day just so that I can keep up with you. But I'll understand if you are." He had a devilish twinkle in his eyes. "Or if you're not I can think of a few things to help you sleep."

"Just a few?" She laughed as he nibbled on her neck.

"More than a few. I've been thinking about some of the toys you got." He whispered a suggestion in her ear and when he looked at her she was blushing bright red. He found the assorted playthings after Emily kidnapped her yesterday. He'd been waiting to use them ever since. He had made sure she packed them. "So you wanna?" He asked grinning.

She couldn't even look at him, what he had just said was so…wild. Instead she just nodded burying her face against his chest. She never thought of self as sexually adventurous before Jason, now she wanted to try everything. The vibrations of his laughter made her shiver. Or maybe that was because of what he just suggested. It didn't matter she trusted him.

Jason kissed her as he lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist as he took them back into the bedroom kicking the door shut behind him.

"Hey, I thought you were at the hospital." Johnny shrugged out of his coat and smiled at his girlfriend. She spent most nights here with him and he loved that. He liked seeing her clothes mixed with his in the closet.

"It's after midnight so my shift is over. I'm off for the next two days." She didn't expect him to have the same days off as her. She knew that right now there were several threats against Elizabeth. Kelly had no problem with Johnny working crazy hours if it kept her friend safe. Ric seriously creeped her out and brought back bad memories.

"So am I." Johnny said pulling her close. She fit against him like she was made to do so. "Well, I'm on call that would be more accurate." As long as everything stayed quiet Johnny wasn't needed. The main threats had been Ric, Lucky and Alcazar. Two of the three were no longer a concern and Spencer was currently neutralized.

"I thought you said it would be crazy busy this week?" They didn't talk about the particulars of his job.

"Lorenzo killed Ric tonight." He wasn't betraying a confidence. That much would be on the news already.

"Good, the man was scary. I saw him a few times at the hospital watching Liz while she was married to Lucky. The way he looked at her you could see that he wouldn't have ever stopped trying to get to her." Kelly shuddered hard and held tight to Johnny.

"It's okay. He can't hurt her now." Her reaction had him a bit puzzled. Because he couldn't really talk about his past he didn't ask her much about hers. But occasionally things upset her and he often wondered if something bad had happened to her when she was younger. He didn't push but when she got like this he simply held on until she felt better. "Kelly?" He gently raised her face to him and saw that she was crying. He'd never seen her cry before. "Baby, what's wrong?"

"When I was a resident I had this boyfriend." She stopped suddenly before continuing. "The whole thing with Ric reminded me of that." She wiped her face. "It's not important."

"Yes it is." Johnny wasn't going to let her hide this time. "Come on." He got them in bed and under the covers. "Tell me." Most people only saw this really tough woman but he knew that she was really a softie. It didn't take him long to understand that her attitude toward men was to keep herself from being hurt.

"He treated me like a possession, like I belonged to him. When I dared to express an opinion he would yell and I usually backed down. One day I finally had enough and walked away." Kelly hadn't ever shared this with anyone.

"He didn't let you go did he?" Johnny knew entirely too many men like that.

"No." She said really softly, taking a deep breath she continued. "I got a restraining order which I quickly learned was only good for giving him a paper cut."

"Did he hurt you?" Johnny tightened his arms around her.

"No, he never laid a hand on me but he stalked me throughout the rest of my residency. Going right up to the line of what was legal, but never going past it." There had been a few times when she'd been terrified.

"Has he contacted you since you moved here?" There was a part of Johnny that wanted her to say yes. He wanted a reason to show the guy that fucking with Kelly was a mistake.

"When I first moved here he showed up a few times, but one of the Detectives that used to work for the PCPD made him stop." Kelly told her boyfriend. "You probably know him. Marcus Taggert."

Johnny snorted in surprise. "I hated Taggert, now I guess I owe him one." The man had been the only member of the police force who came close to catching them. Johnny thought about asking Kelly the guy's name but stopped at the last moment. Spinelli would be able to get that information for him. Kelly didn't need to know what was going to happen. "Thank you for telling me."

"Thank you for listening." Kelly felt better than she had since Ric had started watching Elizabeth.

"Any time." Johnny kissed her hoping to take her mind off her ex. They liked to play in the bedroom. Tonight they'd take a break from him being dominant, not that she didn't love it, but tonight his lady needed him to let her call the shots. He could do that for her. He could show her just how much he adored her and loved having her in his life.

"I love you Johnny." Kelly said being brave and letting him into that final part of her heart. She hadn't fully trusted a man since that last boyfriend. Johnny was different, he wouldn't ever hurt her.

Johnny's head popped up and he smiled. "Damn woman, you made me wait long enough. I didn't think you were ever going to say it. I love you Kelly Lee."

She laughed and playfully smacked his arm. "You were waiting for me to say it first."

"Yes." He said coming over her. "If I had said it first you'd have run screaming out the door." At least he now knew why. No doubt her loser of an ex-boyfriend had used his love to control her.

"You're right." She admitted looking up at him.

"Of course I am. Let me show you, just what I think about the fact that you love me." Johnny kissed her before very slowly moving down her body. This was one demonstration she wasn't ever going to forget. When he reached her center he brought his mouth to her and proceeded to drive every thought out of her mind. It wasn't until she had her second screaming orgasm that he moved back up her body. As his lips took hers in a passionate kiss he slid his rock hard cock into her snug channel. "How do you want it?" He asked in a husky whisper.

"Hard and fast." Kelly told him. Even though he was asking what she wanted they both knew he was still in charge.

"Yes ma'am." Johnny said with a wicked grin. Giving her what she requested he pounded into her willing body. "Touch yourself." He ordered, it drove him crazy when she did that.

"OH MY GOD!" Kelly threw back her head and screamed in delight as her free hand latched onto the head-board. She needed something to anchor her as she flew apart. Every single time he touched her it got better.

"KELLY!" Johnny followed her over not even trying to hold back. He would rest and they could go again. He rolled to his side and pulled her with him. Dropping a kiss on her temple he couldn't help but smile. This amazing woman was his and he was going to make sure that didn't change.

"Well, hello Francis." Diane had been reviewing some contracts when her doorbell rang. It was late so she hadn't been expecting anyone.

Francis smiled at the woman he had fallen in love with. "Do you always answer the door in your pajamas?" Not that he was complaining. The deep purple silk looked amazing against her pale skin.

"I checked before opening the door." Diane assured him. She'd never had a man who was so protective of her before. It was kind of nice. "Besides these are lounging pajamas perfectly acceptable to receive guests in."

Francis stepped forward moving her out of the doorway. He closed and locked the door. Giving her the once over he finally spoke. "I don't think so. No one else is seeing you in that outfit."

"Possessive?" Diane asked with a bit of feminine pleasure.

"Extremely." Francis didn't bother to deny it. Walking over he backed her into the wall and placed his hands on either side of her head. "Mine." He growled before leaning in and kissing her hard.

Diane could hardly remember her name by the time he released her mouth. "That is a very persuasive argument."

"I haven't even started yet." Francis said before kissing her again.

Diane felt her knees go weak. She'd heard the expression but had never experienced the sensation. His arm came around her waist and held her tight to him which was good because she'd been sliding down the wall. "Should we go upstairs?" She asked once he decided to let her breath.

"Nope." Francis had been surprised to find that Diane suffered from body image issues. She'd been worried that she wouldn't measure up to other women he'd been with. She'd said that a man like Francis could easily get the attention of a woman younger than herself. He didn't want another woman, he wanted her. "Right here."

"In the kitchen?" Diane looked over to make sure that the blinds were closed.

"Yup." Francis unbuttoned her top happy to see that she wasn't wearing a bra. Pushing down her pants he saw she wasn't wearing panties either. "Step out." He didn't want her tripping on her pants. "I think this is my favorite look for you. Heels and diamonds."

"Maybe you should undress as well." She was feeling a bit exposed being the only one naked.

"Maybe you should help me." Francis responded as he toed off his shoes. He stood totally still as Diane peeled his clothing off until he was just as naked as she was. "Better?"

"Much." She purred his body was amazing.

"Good." He simply wouldn't allow her to be ashamed of her body. She wasn't in her twenties so things weren't as pert as they had been, but he wasn't in his twenties either. She looked incredible for any age. He was going to make sure that by the time he left in the morning she understood that. "Why don't you and I see what we can cook up?"

"Frannie, that was really bad." Diane said laughing.

"No worse than your legal puns." He said kissing her neck.

"Ladies choice the table or the countertop." Francis asked her.

"I'm not sure that my table is strong enough." Diane told him. "So the countertops."

"We need to get you sturdier furniture." Francis said as he reached for the dishtowel. He placed it on the countertop before picking her up and putting her right where he wanted her. He then stepped between her legs. "Let me show you that I do some of my best work in the kitchen." Kissing her he let his hands caress her. He loved her curves. She was soft and lush, everything a woman should be. "Lie back baby." He instructed as his lips found an already hardened nipple. She gave a husky moan and he sucked harder as he fingers found her center.

Sliding two fingers inside he found her g-spot and stroked. He knew just what to do to make her come apart and she peaked explosively around the digits. While she watched Francis put his fingers in his mouth and licked them clean. "You taste sweeter than honey."

Diane was breathing hard and couldn't even form a sentence she was so hot. She'd never in her life had a lover like Francis Corelli. The man did not hide the pleasure he got from her body. He never made her feel like he was simply passing time until something better came along. He also made sure she knew that she was his woman and that only she could change that. Not Sonny, her.

"Get down." Francis said as he assisted her to her feet. Turning her he had her put her hands on the counter. The heels gave her the extra height needed for this to work. He kissed the back of her neck and her shoulders before asking her. "Are you ready baby?"

"So ready." She told him. She could see them reflected in the surface of the refrigerator and that made her even more excited. She felt him at the opening of her body and moaned deeply when he pushed home stretching her inner muscles so that he fit. "Yes." She hissed in pleasure.

"I love you Di. You know that right?" He'd told her that for the first time last week.

"I love you too Frannie." She arched as he pushed his full length inside her.

"Amazing." He said gripping her hips in his large hand and pumping faster. "Come for me." She shuddered hard and he continued to stroke sending her over the edge again before joining her. "Good?" He always checked. If he wasn't getting it right he wanted to know. Diane deserved the best.

"I don't think my legs will work." Diane laughed. She'd just had mind-blowing sex in her kitchen.

"That's not a problem." Francis easily lifted her. "Pick a room." He said grinning.

Diane smiled back. It was going to be a great night.

Thanks for the reviews, the follows and the favorites!
