Summary: Jason and Courtney make love. Sonny finds
out. But who tells him????

Chapter 1: The Deal
Jason had been thinking about her ever since the night
he rescued her from the drunk guy at the Oasis. He
remembered the way her flesh felt against his. He
couldn’t help also thinking back to the kiss they
shared outside of Coleman’s bar. He had enjoyed that
kiss and he longed for one more, but he knew it was
impossible.

Suddenly, in the middle of his thoughts, there was a
soft knock at his door. “Jason,” a soft voice said,
“Jason...it’s me, Courtney.” Just the sound of her
name, made Jason excited. He quickly jumped up from
the desk and answered the door.

“Thank goodness you are here. I really need to speak
with you.”

Jason could sense that there was something going on
because she wouldn’t be there if everything were fine.

“Jason, we need to talk about that kiss we shared at
Coleman’s bar.” Her voice was a little shaky.

“What about the kiss? I thought we took care of this
earlier.” he asked .

“Well I enjoyed it, and we did take care of it. But I
was thinking that it was because of AJ we didn't get
the chance to see where it would take us. But since he
is out of the picture I was thinking we could
experiment and see what happens.” Before he could
comment he felt her lips playing with his, while her
tongue massaged his.

Her hands began to explore his body, starting from
the neck working their way down to his perfect abs.
His hands quickly found the zipper on her jacket.
Jason quickly slid the jacket from her shoulders to
the floor and with a quick spin the two of them were
leaning on the couch. Courtney’s hands pulled Jason’s
shirt out of his pants. Her lips moved from his lips
to his neck as she pulled the shirt off of his body.
Jason gently pulled away. As the smile that had
appeared when she arrived had diminished into a
straight face.

“We shouldn’t do this, especially with Sonny and Carly
next door,” his voice was full of discomfort and
concern, “what if they decide to come over and they
see us in the middle of...?”

Feeling too much of the moment, Courtney was willing to take the chance, “Let
them see us. I can’t help the fact that I want you.
And I don’t care who sees.”

Jason admired her newly profound dangerous side “I’ve
never seen this side of you before.”

“Well Jason, you are not the only one that can be dangerous.” He loved
the new her and he quickly embraced the chance to kiss
her. Their kisses were full of passion and desire. It
felt as though the whole world had ceased to exist.

Her hands undid the button to his pants, while his
hands tore away at her shirt. The longer her hands
lingered on his pants the stiffer he felt his soldier
getting until finally it was standing at attention.
She had managed to get his pants off and she gasped at
the size of his soldier. With on quick tug her skirt
and panties fell to the floor and
he scooped her up in his arms. She started to kiss his
neck while he sucked on her right nipple. She was
moaning from the pleasure that having him near her
gave, not to mention his ability to make every nerve
in her body quiver with the simple touch of his lips.
She was ready to feel his body inside of her and she
begged for him to fulfill her fantasy.

“Jason, give me all of you. I can’t wait any longer.”


He entered slowly. She moaned with every slight
movement made between the two of them. She couldn’t
get enough. She felt as though she had to have more.
Both of them knew that this was the best sex they had
ever had. They felt complete as they made love. His
movements got faster and faster until they both
climaxed. The event was glorious. It felt as
refreshing as catching a killer wave in the Pacific
Ocean and riding it into shore.

As he lay there, her heaving chest on top of his, he
couldn’t help but wonder if every time would feel the
same way. He secretly wished it would. The silence was
killing her. Not hearing his voice was killing her.
She needed to hear and feel more of him. When she
looked at him she noticed a bit of concern in his blue
eyes.

“What’s the matter, is it something that I did?” her
voice was a little shaky.

He smiled a little before he
replied, “Yes, it is something that you did.” She
quickly rose off of him and began to gather her
clothes. “Where are you going?” he asked surprised at
her response.

“If I did something...I don’t want to be
a hassle to you Jason...I don’t want you to feel
obligated to ‘take care’ of me every time I come to
see you.”

He jumped up and kissed her with the same passion
that he had that night outside of Coleman’s bar.
Pulling his lips away he managed to capture her full
attention.

“Courtney, it’s not that,” he said with a smirk, “I
was wondering if I am going to keep letting you talk
me into doing this when we could get caught at any
moment.” She dropped all of her clothes on the floor
and put her arms around his neck.

“Well if you let me,
I can think of other places where we could....” her
voice trailed off as there was a sudden knock on the
door.

Chapter 2: Caught?!
“ Jason, its Sonny. Why is the door locked? Jason are
you there?”

Jason and Courtney gathered up the clothes off the
floor as fast as they could. Courtney quickly handed
him his pants and ran up the stairs. Jason threw on
his pants as quick as he could and opened the door.

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
After running up the stairs, Courtney hid in Jason’s
room. She began to get dressed when she realized that
she had left her bra downstairs. “Damn it, how are we
going to explain this?” she thought as she ran to the
top of the stairs hoping to get Jason’s, and only
Jason’s attention.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

“Jason, what’s going on, you hardly ever lock your
door.” Sonny’s voice was full of suspicion and
curiosity.

“Well...I was...I was doing some work and I
didn’t want anyone to bother me.” he said hoping that
Sonny would believe the lie that seemed to take
forever for him to make up.

“Jason, you really work too hard. But that is not why
I am here. I was wondering if you had seen Courtney
lately.” Damn it Jason, here you go you told one lie,
now you have to tell another in order to stay alive
Jason thought as Sonny’s question caught him off
guard.

“What? Seen her...why would I have seen
Courtney? Isn’t she at Kelly’s?” he asked with as much
concern as could choke up. God Jason, you better hope
that Sonny believes these lies that you tell him.

Just then he looked up and saw Courtney standing at
the top of the staircase. She was signaling to him
that her bra was somewhere downstairs. He turned from
her to the layout of the living room and he caught
glimpse of black lacy bra he had ripped from her body.
It was lying on the floor, by the couch.

Think fast before Sonny sees it. Jason’s sudden lack
of attention caused Sonny to be curious as to what
could be distracting him. “Jason…uh…what’s going on
with you today? Are you ill or something?”

Jason knew that Sonny sensed something wrong with him.
“Sonny…uh…I’m sorry…it’s just that Courtney has never
gone missing like this. I think I should go out and
look for her. I did promise to protect.” Sonny looked
at Jason with suspicion and then agreed.

“When you find her call me immediately!”

“I will.”
Jason said as he headed to the closet to get his
leather jacket.

He knew he had to make his actions as believable as
possible. Without any other words Sonny headed out of
the door across the hall to the penthouse he shared
with Carly and Michael.

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

Sonny walked into the door of his penthouse to find
his son and his wife playing on the floor. “Daddy,
Daddy!” Michael said as he ran to give Sonny a hug.
“Did you find Auntie Courtney?” the redheaded little
boy asked with his big eyes.

“Uh…Michael…why don’t you
give me and mommy a moment…please.”

“Okay, but when
your done can we go to the park?”

“Of course we can
buddy. We can do whatever you want.” After hearing the
words that he loved, Michael ran upstairs to get some
toys to take to the park.

“Did you find Courtney?” a surprisingly concerned
Carly asked.

“No, but Jason is on his way out to look
for her.” Carly could tell that something other than a
missing sister was bothering her husband.

“Sonny,
something else is bothering you and I would like to
know what it is.” He looked at her and he knew that
she wouldn’t give up until she knew what was going on.

“It’s Jason…he seemed so distant when I was speaking
with him. It was like he was hiding something, he even
lied to me. He had his door locked.” Not knowing what
was going on with Jason was irritating him, Carly
could see it in his eyes.

“You know Sonny, maybe he is
just concerned about Courtney. I mean he does have a
thing for her and maybe hearing that she was missing
has set him off some way...”

“Not with the crush stuff okay Carly. Now is not the
time to voice your opinion about what you think is
going on between my sister and my best friend.” his
voice was firm and strict. “I need a drink. Carly
would you care to join me?”

Carly had an idea.

“No, I will be right back. There is something that I
need to do before we take Michael to the park.” Not
interested in hearing her so-called observations,
Sonny watched as Carly walked out of the penthouse.

Chapter 3: When Carly Finds Out
Back at Jason’s, Courtney had dashed down the stairs
with the biggest frown on her face. Jason was sitting
on the couch rubbing his head with his hand. “Wow,
Jason that was close. Are you okay?” He looked at her
with a puzzling look and said, “What? Am I okay? No
I’m not okay.” She could the pain and anger in his
eyes as he lashed out at her. “I just lied to your
brother because if ever found out that we made love he
would kill me.”

“No he wouldn‘t. He would be very happy that you two
finally made a love connection.” It was Carly. Jason
looked up. He had forgotten to lock the door after
Sonny left. He was really frowning and rubbing his
temples now. Courtney looked at Carly with a nervous
look on her face.

“Carly, how much of the conversation did you hear,
exactly?” her voice was very soft. She was afraid what
Carly’s response would be. “Oh sweetie,” Carly’s
voice was nice and caring, “I heard enough to know
that you and Jason did the dirty and then lied to
Sonny about it.” Courtney’s face dropped. Just what
she needed her brother’s loud-mouthed wife knowing the
intimate details of her life. Carly saw the look on
Courtney and Jason’s faces and decided to keep their
secret. “Don’t worry cuz I’m not going to tell Sonny.”
She smiled.

“Thank-you Carly. He would be so upset with Jason if
he knew that he lied to him. And I would never forgive
myself if I ruined their friendship.”

Carly laughed, “Ruin their friendship? Courtney, you
couldn’t ruin their friendship if you tried. Nothing
can ever come between Jason and Sonny. Trust me, I’ve
already been there and tried that.” Courtney felt a
little bit better.

“Carly, you and Courtney need to get out of here. You
need to go back to the penthouse and tell Sonny I need
to speak with him immediately. Tell him that it is
urgent and it can’t wait any longer.” Courtney knew
what he was going to say and she didn’t want him to
take Sonny’s wrath on his own. “Jason this has as much
to do with me as it does you. I think that I should be
here with you when Sonny finds out we made love.”
Jason ignored her comment. “Carly take Courtney with
you and keep her there until it’s over.” Jason looked
at Courtney with his blue eyes. For the first time she
couldn’t see any compassion in them. They were cold
and dark. “Courtney go with Carly and do as I said.
You and Sonny are just starting to get close and you
don’t need to lose what ground you guys have begun to
build in your relationship.” She was surprised at how
he could keep those mean eyes and still sound as
though he cared about her well being.

Carly led Courtney out of Jason’s penthouse and across
the hall to Sonny’s. They walked in the door together
to find a very excited Sonny waiting for them.
*-*-*-*-*-**-*-***-*-*---*-**-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*--*-*-*-**-*-*-*-*-**----*--****--*-*-*-*

“Courtney where have you been? I’ve been worried about
you.” Courtney looked at Carly for advice on whether
or not to tell her that she had been at Jason’s the
whole time. Carly quickly shook her head and Courtney
trusted that Carly knew what was the best for the
situation at hand. “I...I was...I” she stammered
before Carly cut in. “Jason needs to speak with you.
He said it was urgent.”

“Well, I have to go see what it is that he wants. If
you want you guys can head down to the park with
Michael and I will catch up later.” He had no idea
what surprise was in store for him. “That sounds
great. So we will see you later.” Sonny kissed Carly
and headed over to Jason’s penthouse. Carly, Courtney,
and Michael headed to the park.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-**-**-*-**-*-*-*-*-*-**-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

At the park Courtney kept thinking about how things
were going. She was hoping that Sonny wasn’t being too
hard on Jason, or in that case, Jason wasn’t being too
hard on himself. She wished she could be there taking
some of the blame for what had happened.

“Courtney are you still worrying about what Sonny and
Jason are doing?” Caught of guard Courtney turned to
Carly and asked if she had said anything. “ Courtney,”
the tone of Carly’s voice was one of wisdom and
experience, “No matter what happens Sonny and Jason
will be friends. And you will still be Sonny’s little
sister and he will still love you. Nothing bad is
going to happen just because you and Jason acted on
your feelings. Everything will be fine,” Carly’s voice
was full of assurance, and Courtney hoped for Jason’s
sake that everything she said was true. But she knew
that she couldn’t let Jason take the blame for
something that was a 50-50 effort on her part.

Chapter 4: CONFRONTATION
There was knock on the door. “Sonny is that you? You
can come in; it’s not locked.” Sonny entered the
penthouse to find a very frustrated Jason sitting on
the couch. “I think you should sit down Sonny. What I
am about to tell is not going to be easy.” Sonny
looked at his best friend with curiosity as he took a
sit in the chair next to the couch.

“Earlier you…uh…you came by looking for Courtney and
I…I said I hadn’t seen her but I lied.” Sonny knew
that Jason had lied to him, but for some reason he
couldn’t help but to be disappointed that he had done
so. “So, why did you lie about Courtney? Was there
something wrong and you didn’t…um…was there something
you didn’t want me to know?” Jason was secretly
wishing that he had Courtney here to help him. She was
so much better with words than he was. “Sonny, when
you came here earlier Courtney was upstairs. She
was…she was…” I was getting dressed. Right Jason?
Isn’t that what you were going to say?” Jason looked
up to see the blonde bombshell he had made love to an
hour ago standing in the doorway of his penthouse.

“Courtney I told you to stay out of this.” She ignored
him the same way he had ignored her earlier. “Sonny, I
want you to know that what happens in my personal life
is none of your business, but what happens in Jason’s
seems to be one of your concerns. So here is the news:
Jason and I made love and he lied to you to protect
our relationship and your friendship.”

Sonny and Jason sat there in shock at the bluntness of
the announcement. “Well...don’t you want to yell...
and scream and holler at Jason and me? Sonny, isn’t
there anything that you want to say?” It took a moment
as the shock passed through Sonny’s body. He looked at
Jason. Jason rubbed his forehead.

“Is this true? Did you sleep with my sister? Jason
answer me!” Sonny demanded. “Did you sleep with
Courtney and then you lied to me about seeing her?”
