Winter of Resentment
Part 9 ~ Words

As Jason watched Liz walk back to the nurse's station, he wasn't sure if he should be happy or worried. He needed to tell her about his new role in the organization. He was smart enough not to discuss it at the hospital, and they made plans to meet at the safe house for a late dinner. Lulu had offered to babysit Jake and Cam for the night, stating that she was bored. Liz, however, had her suspicions that Lulu was trying to keep herself occupied in order to forget Johnny. No matter what her motive was, Liz was not about to pass on the offer. Jason was hoping that Liz would still want to be with him, even in his new role.

For the moment, Jason let his mind drift with the thought of holding her in his arms. The longing must have showed on his face as his aunt Tracy approached.

"Let me guess," she started. "She's going to be next in your harem?"

Jason took a deep breath and turned to face her.

"Look, I don't know much about Liz, but she seems to be a good person and a decent mother." Jason nodded and Tracy continued, "Why don't you stick to your strippers and con artist? Please, Please don't let this girl fall in love with you only to ruin her life."

Jason looked down trying to gather his thoughts. Tracy knew that sign, that old familiar habit. Even as a boy, Jason would always look down at his shoes as if he was wondering if he should tell a lie. In the end, he always told the truth, even if it got him into trouble.

"Too late, huh?" Tracy stepped closer to him, but he didn't look up. "Why, Jason? Why? She has two small boys. What can you offer her?"

"I love her." He said softly, still averting his gaze.

Tracy chuckled sarcastically. "Love her? Love her? Like Sam and Courtney? What are you going to do when she gets tired of playing second fiddle to Carly and Sonny?"

"That's not going to happen." He finally lifted his head to look into her eyes.

"Really?" What makes her any different?"

Jason started to look away but Tracy placed her hand gently on his cheek. The gesture shocked them both but Tracy could see the little boy and the young man that Alan loved so deeply.

"You may love her but that love shouldn't be dependent on her making all of the sacrifices. How are you going to show your love for her and her kids?" She stroked his cheek gently before lowering her hand to rest gently on his forearm. "If I think she's expendable, so will everyone else including your enemies and her sons." Before she turned to walk away, she looked into his eyes and said gently, "Is that all you have to offer her? I would like to think that Alan and Monica raised you better than that, even if you don't remember."

Tracy's words sat upon Jason's chest like a ton of bricks.

The Metro Court restaurant was full. As Alexis waited for a table, she spotted Mac at the bar. She needed to apologize. Her rudeness with him the other day was bothering her. She touched his arm softly.

"Mac."

When he heard her voice, he stood, paid the bill and walked away. She followed him to the elevator.

"Look, I'm trying to apologize."

Without reply, Mac walked into the waiting elevator. Not to be outdone, Alexis followed.

"What do you want from me, Mac?" Alexis asked.

As the elevator door closed, Mac turned to face her. Without saying a word, he approached her slowly and laid a gentle kiss on her lips. When she didn't move away, he placed his palm on the small of her back and pulled her closer. She gave a sigh of surrender and parted her lips in invitation. When he ended the kiss, he didn't let go.

"What floor is your office on?"

"Six," she whispered.

He pressed the button in time for the elevator to stop.

Alexis wasn't sure exactly how she got into the office, but once there, Mac leaned her against the office door and pressed his frame against hers. His kiss was needy and urgent. As he slid his hand under her skirt, Alexis felt her body responding. He raised her skirt around her waist and tugged at her pantyhose.

"Yes," she pleaded.

That one word would change their lives forever.
