Venice, Italy, December 20th

Jason could not make it for her birthday but he sent her a present. It was a limited collection art set and it was engraved with her initials and a painting from her favorite artist with a letter to her. He is the best gift giver. Another change she met and has a boyfriend in Italy. His name is Anthony and he is a freshman in college and they have only been dating for three months but have known each other for eight months. He is sweet and attentive. He does not pressure her into sex but they have their fun and that is who is holding her right now. A part of her will always be in love with Jason but she had to move on.


It is warm in her four-bedroom loft type of apartment with open space. Her studio is in the loft. She has a bedroom for business one for Jason and one for Micheal. Jason has his own key and he always tells her when they are coming. She only has on his t-shirt and underwear and he is wearing his boxers. She kept him a secret from Jason and she feels guilty but she can't bring herself to do it. " It is time to get up so I can make you breakfast," Antony says. " Ugh fine." She said, They walk out hand and hand and Jason is there. Oh no. His eyes go blank and he has seen him do that before with other people but not her. He leaves the bag of food he brought and he walks out with a word. " Jason, wait. Damn it. I need shorts and shoes." She runs and grabs that and she chases him she is surprised she can catch him.


" I was going to tell you but I want to wait until I am sure," Elizabeth said. " It's fine. You don't owe me anything. I'll stay elsewhere. I have business here and then I will leave in a couple of days and stay out of your way." Jason said. " Jason please that is not what I want okay? You are more than my friend. You saved my life, you helped me realize my potential and bring it to life. I love you more than anyone but you are older and I knew I could not have you so I had to move on. Please don't hate me." she said. " I could never hate you. You don't need me. I just need space." Jason says as he gets on his motorcycle and leaves.


She tracks him down and pushes her way into his room not realizing he is only wearing boxers. She looks around and feels relieved when it is just him. She knows she is a hypocrite but she doesn't care. " We are not finished and we are to work this out," Elizabeth said. " Elizabeth, I am not going to do this with you. So let it go." Jason said. " No damn it. I told you that I loved you and you just pushed me away and was going to leave without saying anything. That is not how this works. We are better than that. I know you don't feel the same way but I thought you at least loved me as a friend and cared." Elizabeth said. " You don't understand and you never will," Jason said. " Make me understand," Elizabeth said.


" I was jealous, okay. I walked in there and saw you with him and reminded him of it happening before and it fucking hurt. I am in love with you too. I have lost you before and it destroyed me and I can't do it again." Jason says. " That makes no sense, I have not gone anywhere. You love me." Elizabeth says smiling. " Don't you dare smile at me when you want to get your way Quartermaine, it won't work," Jason said. " Oh, I think it will." She says as she throws her sweater off and undoes her bra. He is completely frozen and she is evenly matched. " What are you doing?" he whispers. " I am going to have my way with you and then afterwards you are going to feed me and then we are going to talk." She kisses him and he melts into her. He has missed her so much. He felt conflicted because she was not his Elizabeth because of her age but he still loved her. He was going to tell her the truth of their past and let her decide what she wanted but he saw that guy and reminded him of Zander.


He did not get to explore her body the last time but he will tonight. He leads them to his bed and he lays her down and she looks like his angel. She has her long hair but she is more confident but still so beautiful. " You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen and I am going to make you feel all my love for you," Jason says as he kisses down her body and nibbles her breast and sucks on it. " That feels good." She said. He continues down and says " Can I take this off now?" Elizabeth says

"Yes please and take yours off. I want to see all of you." Jason takes her off hers first and then stands up and removes his boxers.


" Holy shit that thing is the size of a python, how the hell is that all going to fit?" She says. " I am going to devour you first and then you will be ready for me," Jason says. He goes down on her and she tastes better than he can imagine. She is moaning and grabs his head hard. He does not mind and she comes and laps her up. " Oh my gosh, that was amazing." She says as she kisses him tasting herself. " I am going to get a condom and then I will go real slow," Jason said. " I am on the pill and I trust you," Elizabeth said. " OH my gosh, are you trying to kill me Quartermaine?" Jason said. " No but what a way to go. Stop stalling Morgan and get to work." She says. " If it hurts, tell me, baby." Jason says. " I promise I will." She said,


He goes slowly and she closes her eyes. " Relax and breathe for me baby," Jason says as he kisses and sucks on the neck to help her relax. " Okay, you can move." She said. " Fuck this is the best thing I have ever felt. You were made for me. You are so tight." He says. He is in and he waits and she nods. He moves slowly but deeply. "Fuck you feel so good and I feel you stretching me out. Go faster and harder. I won't break." Elizabeth says. He growls and says" Say you are mine. Say it." Jason plunges into her faster and harder and he tries not to come so soon but he can't help it. " I am yours always." She moans into his mouth and he comes and she comes right after. " You have ruined me for anyone else." She said. "Good because I am not sharing now or ever. I love you Elizabeth." Jason said. " I cannot believe you are real and love me. But I love you too" she says and they continue all night exploring and loving each other.
