A/N: This is set after the beach bonfire in the previous chapter. Happy New Year!

As Jason returns to his apartment his apartment from the beach, he notices a car sitting in front of his apartment. He parks his truck, gets out and leans against the tailgate. He watches her appear. "I'm not going to lie Mandy, you are the last person I expected to see tonight."

She crosses the street before answering. "Should I get back in my car and go find a hotel?"

Jason doesn't move from his spot against his truck. "That would be disappointing."

"Well, I can't disappoint the great Jason Hayes, now can I?" Mandy smirks standing in front of him.

"I don't take being disappointed well." Jason's hands find their way to her hips. "Not well at all."

"So, I won't do that." Mandy says letting Jason pull her against him.

Jason's hands glide from her hips to her ass. "Smart choice Miss Ellis."

"Some would say I'm a smart person." Mandy wraps her arms around his waist.

"Now that you mention it, I think I have said that a time or two." Jason chuckles.

"I may or may not remember that." Mandy grins.

"So, uh, enough with the bullshitting." Jason tells her.

Mandy moves her arms around his neck. "Agreed." She says before claiming his lips.

"That was a good start." Jason smiles. "Shall we continue this upstairs?"

"I thought you'd never ask." Mandy steps back from him.

"Ladies first." Jason extends his hand towards the staircase.

"Such a gentleman." Mandy giggles. "You just want to stare at my ass."

"You're not wrong." Jason laughs. "Really you should take it as a compliment that I like your ass that much."

Mandy turns and looks at him as she walks up the stairs. "That's some male logic if I have ever heard it."

"Male logic, huh." Jason says in a husky voice as he pushes her against the front door.

"Mm-hmm." Mandy mumbles. "You should unlock the door sailor."

"I guess I could do that." Jason reaches around Mandy unlock the door. "As you requested."

"Thank you." Mandy steps backwards, pulling Jason inside with her.

Jason kicks the door closed behind him. "What should I fuck you against first tonight?" He spins them around and presses her into the front door.

"That's a good question Master Chief." Mandy says finding his belt buckle.

"You're not wasting any time tonight." Jason smirks pushing her jacket off her shoulders before moving to unbutton her shirt. "I like this bra."

"That really warms my iceberg of a heart." Mandy says looking pleased.

"If you have an iceberg of a heart, then I don't have one." Jason pushes her shirt off her shoulders.

"And that's why we work so well together." Mandy pushes Jason's jeans down his legs.

Jason kicks them off while pulling his shirt over his head. "I'm feeling a little exposed."

"We should fix that." Mandy feels his fingers working on the button on her jeans.

"You and these damn skinny jeans." Jason chuckles as he rolls her jeans down her legs.

"But they make my ass look good, remember." Mandy grins.

"That they do." Jason says against her neck as she kicks her jeans and underwear off. "Much better."

"Counter." Mandy breathes out.

"I like the sound of that." Jason pulls her towards the counter. "Turn around Miss Ellis."

Mandy leans against the counter and looks over her shoulder. "Don't disappoint me."

Jason leans forward and kisses her. "Have I ever disappointed?"

"Not yet." Mandy tells him. "But you never know what the future holds."

"I'd have to be dead for me to disappoint you sexually." Jason growls.

"The suspense is killing me is killing me." Mandy wiggles against him.

"You want me to fix that." Jason teases her with the tip of his member.

"Yes." Mandy hums. "Very badly."

"If you insist." Jasaon sinks into her. "Fuck Mandy.

"Mmm Jace." She moans. Jason digs his fingers into her hip. "Oh shit." She cries out at the new angle.

"Someone vocal tonight." Jason notes as he continues.

"Mmhm. I may have been thinking about this for the last week." Mandy tells him.

"That's good for my ego." Jason groans.

"Don't stop Jace." She moans as Jason keeps up the same pace. A deep moan escapes Mandy's lips as she falls over the edge.

"Shit Mandy." Jason groan as he follows her over the edge. He leans forward and peppers her shoulders with kisses.

"Look at that, not disappointed." Mandy smiles as she turns to face him.

He captures her lips with his. "What did I tell you?"

Mandy encircles his neck with her arms. "Such a know it all."

"Or I just know my abilities." Jason counters.

"I'm guessing you would call that self-confidence?" Mandy asks between planting kisses on his neck.

"Exactly." Jason chuckles. "Do you want a drink?"

"That would be nice." Mandy lightly pushes against him. "I'm going to go steal a T-shirt."

"You should do that." Jason backs up and watches her walk towards his closet. "Your ass looks even better without the jeans."

Mandy looks over her shoulder as a grin spreads across her face. "Why thank you Jason."

Mandy appears from the bathroom wearing one of Jason's T-shirts to find him lying in bed. He extends a glass of whisky to her. "Your drink beautiful."

She climbs onto the bed. "Thank you."

"You didn't want to come to the beach?" Jason asks.

Mandy takes a sip of her whisky. "Honestly, I didn't have the energy for everyone. It's been a busy few weeks and this moment is what I wanted."

"You wanted to be in my bed?" Jason smirks.

"I wanted to be alone with you." Mandy rests her head on his shoulder. "You're my little slice of peace from the world.

"I like that." Jason kisses the top of her head. "You missed the big reveal."

Mandy shifts and looks up at him. "What big reveal?"

"I'm sure all knowing Mandy probably already knew, but Sonny and Davis."

"Yeah." Mandy smirks. "I have known for years."

"Uh-huh." Jason nods.

"I mean she knew about us." Mandy offers.

"You two and your secrets." Jason chuckles.

"Everyone needs a best friend to confide in." Mandy counters.

"I thought that was me?" Jason looks down at her.

"You are, but." Mandy pauses. "Sometimes I need someone else to talk to."

"I suppose I can get over that blow to my ego." Jason jokes.

"Shut up." Mandy turns to face him. "You know what you mean to me."

"I don't know." Jason shrugs. "You might need to show me."

"Hhmm." Mandy shifts to straddle him. "I wonder how I could do that."

Mandy attaches her lips to his neck. "This seems like a good start."
