Part two of the New Year's Eve story. It's JANDY time!

December 15th

"It's here!" Mandy smiles as she and Jason approach the front door postdate night.

"What's here?" Jason asks watching her bend over a pickup the package.

Mandy unlocks the door and the two walk inside. "My outfit for the Spencer House event."

"Since when do you get excited about clothes?" Jason chuckles. He had to admit she was stunning when she was happy.

"Clothes are on the list of things I like." Mandy turns and looks him up and down. "You may or may not be higher on that list."

Jason clutches his chest and dramatically falls onto the sofa. "Right in the heart Amanda Ellis."

"Whatever, I'm trying this on." She tells him, refusing to laugh at his antics. When she reappears from the bathroom, she clears her throat to get his attention. "What do you think?"

"Holy shit." Jason breathes out. "I don't know why but I was expecting a dress." Jason grins. "This is much more former spook of you."

Mand smooths her hands down the well-tailored dark green velvet suit. "But in a good way, right?" She sees the smile on Jason's face and knows he agrees. "Plus, I'm wearing a bra, so you don't get the full effect of the plunging neckline at the moment."

Jason stands and walks over to her. "Honey, I don't think I have ever seen you wear something that fit you so perfectly, and I don't just mean the fit."

Mandy rests her hands on his shoulders. "Thank you. I was questioning my choice to not go with a gown."

"Oh no." Jason shakes his head. "You made the right choice."

"Good." Mandy smiles. "I know that look."

"I would be disappointed if you didn't." Jason pulls her against him.

"One kiss then this is getting hung up before you make me very satisfied." Mandy says before meeting their lips.

"Mmm. As you requested." Jason says, pulling away from her.

"Thank you." Mandy says undoing the crystal encrusted clasp on the blazer.

"I'll just be lying naked on the bed waiting for you." Jason smirks as she walks towards the closet.

"Mmm." Mandy purrs as she saunters towards Jason's naked form. "Naked and ready."

"You looked fucking incredible in that suit." Jason watches her move toward him. "In fact, I'm not sure how I'm going to keep my hands off you at the gala."

"Hmm." Mandy straddles him. "We are going to have to come up with a solution." She says before kissing him.

Jason's fingertips skim the delicate skin on Mandy's back. "I'm sure two problem solvers such as ourselves can come up with something." He grips the back of her neck, pulling her into a deep kiss. Jason releases her neck. "Sit back... Fucking perfect." He comments when she leans back.

"Thank you." She says running her fingernails gently over Jason's shoulders. Jason dips his head and sucks her hardened nipple into his mouth. Mandy instinctively pulls Jason's head against her chest. "Mmm." She moans as he nibbles his way to her other breast. Mandy grinds her hips against his. "You're so hard."

Jason pops his head up and looks her in the eyes. "Don't by coy Miss Ellis, you do this to me every time."

"What a compliment that is to me." Mandy smirks before impaling herself on Jason's hard length. "Fuck." She hisses at the feeling of Jason stretching her.

"Shit Mandy." Jason groans watching her move on top of him.

He shifts, pulling himself into a sitting position with Mandy on his lap. "Hi." She whispers, their faces inches apart.

"Hi." Jason grins before attaching his lips to hers as they find a rhythm together.

Mandy wraps her arms around Jason's neck. "Fuck Jace." She moans.

"You feel so fucking good Mandy." Jason groans as she continues to move on top of him.

"MM Jace." Mandy breathes out. "I'm so close." She continues her movements until she feels the burning in her lower abdomen bubbling to the surface. A strangled moan escapes her parted lips.

"Fuck Mandy." Jason grunts feeling her contract around him, pushing him over the edge. Jason pulls them down onto the bed. "You've done it again Miss Ellis, rocked my world."

"Right back at you Mr. Hayes." Mandy smirks from her place on Jason's chest.

Jason leans his head down and kisses the top of Mandy's head. "I know we are not big on sharing our feelings, but I love you more than I can put into words."

Mandy shifts in the bed so she is lying face to face with Jason. "Jace, I love you just as much. We have always had something special and now it feels like we have completed the circle being together."

Jason strokes her hair. "It does. I still remember the first day you glided into the team room and hit me with that little smirk." He smiles. "Little did I know I met my match that day."

"Are you sure that's all that was going through your mind?" She smirks. "Because I do remember some undressing me with your eyes happening."

"Well." Jason chuckles. "That didn't sound as romantic as what I said."

"Oh." Mandy raises an eyebrow. "Jason Hayes, a romantic?"

"Ouch." Jason shakes his head. "Now see, that sounds like a challenge to me."

"If that's how you interpret it." Mandy retorts.

"Smart ass." Jason mumbles under his breath.

"But you love me more than you can put into words." Mandy repeats his words.

"And I do." Jason smiles. "But that doesn't keep you from being a smart ass."

"You like." Mandy grins.

"I do, very much." Jason nods his head in agreement. "You and me, Amanda Ellis, we work."

Mandy finds his hand under the covers. "Yes, we do. And I wouldn't want it any other way."

Jason runs the back of his pointer finger over her cheek. "I wouldn't either. We may have had a long a winding path to each other, but we are here now."

"I love Jace." Mandy says before leaning forward to kiss him.

"I love you too." Jason tells her when they separate.

Go to part three for the gala!
