Flight of Destiny

Part Forty Four

By Cathy

When Jax got up Julia was already sitting on the couch reading the Wall Street Journal sipping from a mug of hot coffee. Her lap top was sitting beside her on the couch.

"Morning Jules sorry about last night."Jax said.

"No problem Jax, hopefully one of these years I'll be having those types of meetings myself. Just need to find the right investor."She laughed.

"Oh come on there must be hundreds of blokes beating on your door. You're bright, attractive, funny and sweet. I think you're quite the catch myself."

"Thanks Jax any chance of you dumping Al for me?"She asked lightly.

"Sorry no chance of me ever dumping her not even for you."Jax laughed.

"Thought so and that's why we have to talk."

"All right Jules I can tell when something is bothering you so just say it and get it over with."

"Well I have heard from Brenda. In fact she's the sole reason why I'm even here."

"Go on Julia."

"Well I got several messages from her in December and when I finally called her back she sounded like it was a life or death situation. I was scared Sonny was threatening her but she said that wasn't the case. All she seemed to care about was finding out if I had heard from or spoken to you. I asked her why and she finally said it was because she was absolutely miserable with Sonny."

"What does that have to do with me? I'm sorry she's miserable but it was her decision not mine."Jax said flatly.

"I know that Jax but she said she had to find out how serious things were with you and this Ally as she put it. She knew you brought her to Alaska for Thanksgiving and that you were living together and her name was Ally. She begged me to come down here to find out everything I could about your relationship and how serious it was. She asked me if I sent you a card and if I got one back. I found your card and read it before I edited it for Brenda. Basically I just said you were very happy and wanted to see me if I was down this way. I didn't tell her what you wrote about being in love with Ally and that she was the one. I didn't trust her motives and I was right."

"What is she up to?"Jax asked with a good idea of what Julia was going to say.

"She wants you back Jax. She said you once said you'd always love her and she believed it and just had to come up with the perfect plan to win you back. I asked her what made her think you'd even want her back after the way she hurt you and if you were living with this Ally you must have moved on. She didn't want to hear it and asked me whose side I was on. I asked her what she'd do if I told her you were madly in love and her answer convinced me I had to warn you."

"What did she say Jules?"

"She said she'd just break her spell on you and get rid of her. Now that I've met Ally I think it's Brenda who will be wiped out though."

"So you're betraying your only sister for me. Why Jules?"

"Because Jax I care about you and after the hell she put you through I wasn't going to let her destroy you again if you were happy with Ally. >From the little bit I've seen, I know in my heart Ally was meant to be your wife. I saw you with Brenda and I've seen you with Ally and it's just so obvious that she is the love of your life. So what do I tell Brenda? I think since the wedding is so close we should make her think she's got lots of time and then you'll be married before she even tries anything."

"Thanks Julia but I don't want you to lose Brenda over me. Do you know where she is? Maybe I just need to look her in the eyes and tell her it's over."

"No Jax if you got near her Sonny would kill you I'm sure. I'm already involved and if Brenda is going to hate me she will no matter how big or small my part in this is."

"Ok but Ally isn't to know about any of this. If she found out she'd hunt Brenda down and kill her and I don't want to be visiting her in jail forever."

"Fine this will remain just between us. Now how do we proceed?"

"Proceed with what?"Ally asked from the bedroom.

"A take over Al."Jax said quickly.

"Oh boring corporate stuff again. I'll go make us breakfast."

Jax waited for Ally to go into the kitchen and he started whispering."I think you tell her I'm happy and seem to be having lots of fun with Al but you don't think I'm thinking of marriage or anything. Tell her I seem awfully close to V. Brenda always underestimated how much V meant to me and this will give her a false sense of security. Tell her about the Silk Fantasy campaign so she can see Al for herself. Bren will see blonde hair and think this is just a phase that I could never be serious about a blonde."

"That should actually make her think she's got lots of time to create the ultimate plan. Don't forget she'll have to figure out how to get around Sonny first and that will take some time too."

"True I don't think she'll be ready to show up for six months and then it will be too late. Of course if she showed up tonight it would still be too late for us."

"So how's that cad of a brother of yours doing?"

"Actually he's madly in love himself. Yup Mr. never ever going to stick to one woman or give her my heart fell hard overnight. Three months with the same girl."

"Three months? My lord that's a world's record for Jer. Geez I thought I was special but I only lasted a month. Who's the temptress that has him caught?"

"V"

"V?"She asked in amazement.

"Umm hmm and now that I'm sure he won't hurt her I have to admit they make a great couple."

"Jer fell for someone practical with ethics and a strong sense of right and wrong? I guess I'll be seeing pigs fly soon too."She laughed.
 

"I know what you mean"Jax laughed back.
 

Ally brought out breakfast and sat down beside Jax. "So how long will you be in town Julia?

"Two more days then I'm off to visit a friend in Vancouver before heading back to London."

"Well if you want I can take half of tomorrow off and we can go have lunch and do some shopping."Ally offered.

"I'd like that allot Ally. We could get to know each other better. Actually shouldn't both of you be at work by now, it's ten."

"Jax makes his own hours lately and I'm only going in at one to do some paper work."

"Ally got mono earlier this month and she has to take it a bit easier at work so she only goes in full time for three days a week and does half days for the other two. So I try to do half days when she does so we can spend the time together."

"Sounds heavenly I wish I had someone to ditch work for."

"Julia you don't have a boyfriend? I find that hard to believe."

"Thanks Ally, Jax did I tell you how much I like this girl ?"

"Yeah she has a knack for saying the right thing at the right time."

The phone rang and Jax grabbed it."Uh yeah I'll tell her Grace, thanks."

"Sweetie Grace said it's dead and she did the paper work for you. You just need to go sign the cheques tomorrow and that's it."

"Cool, hey can you skip the entire day? We can take Julia skiing in Lake Placid."

"Umm Ally I think we should ask Jules is she wants to go first."

"Sure why not just no cracks about how much time I spend on my butt."Julia laughed.

"Ok, I'll call my boss and see if it's ok with her."Jax said and dialed V.

"J & J Jacks, Mr Jacks office can I help you?"

"Hi ya V is it ok if I don't come in all day?"

"Still making love to Al, Jax? Really you should take a break or you'll both wear yourselves out. What's in this for me neck boy?"

"V I'm going to slap you, stop calling me that. You can come with us if you want."

"And where are you going?"

"Lake Placid to ski."

"Jax you know what happened last time you took me skiing! How quickly you forget."She laughed.

"Oh come on V you managed to make it down the bunny hill once without wiping out."Jax laughed as memories of V face first in the soft powder came back to him.

"No thanks I'd rather hold the fort down here, have a hot chocolate for me."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive Jax now have fun and don't break anything."

"Ok see ya tomorrow doll."Jax hung up and looked at Julia and Ally"I'm allowed to go."

"Good can I fly?"Ally asked.

"If I say no I'll live to regret it right?"

"Yup"

"Then sure you can fly Ally."Jax said.

"All right let's go get dressed so we can go. Oh I haven't been skiing in eons hope I didn't lose my touch."

"Why do I have the feeling you're going to ski circles around us?"Jax laughed.

Ally just grinned wickedly and shrugged her shoulders.

"She's a competitive little thing isn't she Jax."Julia remarked.

"You don't know the half of it Jules. She makes Jer and I look like slackers half the time. I've never met anyone as competitive as Ally ever."

"Wow so I take it you rarely beat her."

"Try never beaten her."Jax mumbled.

Julia looked shocked then starting laughing and continued all the way to the guest room to change. Jax grinned and went to bug Ally.

They spent the entire day on the slopes laughing and having fun. Ally skied circles around them as they figured but she spent more time making snow angels and kissing Jax than actually skiing. Julia found herself hoping Brenda wouldn't try anything, not so Ally won't kill her so much as she liked Ally and wanted her to be happy. Oh yeah Bren would love me for this, she thought as she took her last run of the day. Jax and Ally were waiting at the bottom of the hill locked in a warm embrace when Julia came to a stop spraying them with snow. Jax hesitated for a second and then sent Julia on her back and threw snow at her. Ally didn't like his tactic so she started pelting him with snow and a full scale snow war broke out until one member of the ski patrol told them to take it off the hill. Ally sighed, helped Julia up and they left Jax in the snow.

"Now that was just down right mean leaving me there lying in the snow with that ski patrol guy lecturing me about acting like a child."Jax complained when he finally caught up to them at the Lodge.

"Jax how many times have I told you not to start something unless you plan on finishing it because I'm going to finish it for you. And unlike New Year's Day dinner you're not always going to like it."

Jax's mind quickly went back to that night and he forgot that Ally and Julia had left him in the snow. Ally saw the grin and knew where his mind was. Julia didn't have a clue but had a good idea from the look on his face. Jax didn't say another word as they headed back to the jet

Meanwhile Brenda had just confirmed that Julia was in New York and felt a surge of energy as she started working on plans to win Jax back. All I need is Julia's information and I can start thinking of a way to get rid of little Miss Ally she thought. Jax honey it won't be long before I come back to you and I promise this time nobody will leave, Brenda said to the window. Ally got that sick feeling in the pit of her stomach then it quickly vanished. Hmm something's not quite right she muttered to herself and stole a glance at Jax who was sitting beside her humming.

"What the heck are you humming Jasp?"

"Flight of the Bumble Bees actually."

"What? You are just too strange sometimes."

"Why do you want to make a request?"

"Uh huh sing a solo, so low I can't hear you."She said with a smirk.

"You will pay for that my pretty."Jax snickered.

"You forget I love the way you make me pay Jasper. I should actually be evil more often

since the punishment is so much fun."

"Al I hate to break it to you but you are always evil."Jax teased.

"If we didn't have a passenger, I'd sit this puppy down and show you just how evil I can be Mr. Jacks."

"Let me give Julia a parachute, a little push and you can show me."

"Jasper Jacks, you are just horrible, rotten to the core."

"And horny as hell thanks to you."

"That's it, out of my cockpit before you make me lose my mind."Ally said with a grin and pointed to the door.

"Yeah Julia might be willing to help me with my condition."He said wickedly.

"Yeah but she'd get nothing out of the deal."She said with an evil grin.

Oh you're going to get it for that little comment Ally, Jax thought and left the cockpit.

Ally set them down at JFK half an hour later and taxied in to the hanger. She was pleased with her landing and thrilled that Jax didn't even supervise her for the first time. She loved flying the Cesna Citation. Jax taught her to fly in it and she felt comfortable behind the controls. She liked the jet but nothing compared to flying the Citation in her mind. Ally loved the feeling of soaring in the air, being free and in control at the same time. She knew why Jax loved flying so much because she felt the exact same way.

They picked up Thai take out and went back the the penthouse and had a long leisurely laugh filled dinner. Ally really liked spending time with Julia and they made plans to go shopping and have lunch the next day. Julia excused herself around midnight and Jax grabbed Ally and brought her into their bedroom and they made love into the wee hours of the morning. Ally and Julia went looking for wedding dresses and Ally was starting to think she'd never find a dress she liked. Julia found a pale lilac satin off the shoulder gown for the wedding and assured Ally she'd find the dress of her dreams eventually. They picked up Jax and V at the office and headed out for greasy hamburgers, fries and milkshakes. Julia was waiting for Jax to object, knowing his preference for healthy eating and almost choked when he ordered more onion rings and a hot fudge sundae for dessert.

She was more surprised when Jax talked her into splitting the sundae with him. She couldn't remember the last time she indulged in something so fattening. Jax insisted Julia let Brad fly her to Vancouver and thanked her for the warning about Brenda.

Julia said her good byes to Ally and V and set out for the airport. She started thinking about exactly what she would tell Brenda when she talked to her. Julia hoped Brenda wouldn't have a chance to start anything before Jax and Ally were married and then she'd have to just give up when she was notified of the marriage. She was happy Jax and Ally were keeping the engagement a secret because it would work in their favour to keep Brenda away. Julia knew if Brenda found out Jax was marrying Ally in four months she'd take desperate measures to prevent it from happening.

"You know I really like Julia, Jax are you sure she's related to Brenduh?"

"Yes Ally and you know it's not nice to call people names."

"What I can't call her braindead ? But she is Jax and you don't seem to mind me calling her hubby Scummy?"

"That's funny though."Jax laughed."Not to mention true."

"I hate her Jax and I'm sorry but I happen to like calling her Brenduh so deal with it."

"I think we should change the subject and I knew you'd like Jules she's a fantastic person."

"Hey do you know any cute, decent sweet guys in London we can steer her way?"

"Ally I'm not playing matchmaker for Julia, she's a big girl and I think she can take care of her own love life."

"You're no fun Jax!"

"That's not what you were saying last night Miss McComb. Care to be reminded just how much fun I am."

"Can I have a rain check? I'm kind of tired and I don't think I'd last very long."

"I suppose you want me to join you?"

"I'd really love it if you would. I fall asleep so much faster in your arms darling."

"Then let's get to bed brat."Jax picked her up and carried her in to the bedroom.
 

"Sounds heavenly, I think I should start thinking of doing the same. Maybe I'll meet one of your blokes that way Jax."Julia laughed.

"You don't have a boyfriend Julia? I find that hard to believe."

"Thank you Ally, Jax I'm just liking her more with every passing second."

"Told you she was the greatest."Jax replied.

"Oh Jasper that's so sweet but eat your eggs before they get cold."

"Jasper?"Julia asked in amusement.

"Yeah Ally loved my name from the moment we met so she uses it often."

"Ally do you have any idea how much Jax loves you to let you call him Jasper? I can't even get away with it. Heck Lady Jane can't call him Jasper either. Right Jasper?"

"Julia cut it out!"Jax groaned.

"See!"Julia laughed and dug into her eggs. She watched Jax and Ally out of the corner of her eye. Jax was constantly making contact with her, stroking her hair, rubbing her leg, holding her pinky finger and leaning his head on her shoulder. She found it so wonderful and so depressing at the same time. Even Jerry has found someone to love what's wrong with me she wondered. The phone drew her out of her self pity party.

"Hello?"Jax said.

"Oh hi Grace yeah she's beside me."Jax passed the phone to Ally.

"Hi Grace what's up?"

"Nothing, in fact it's so dead I just finished all your paper work for you. So don't bother coming in. All you have to do is payroll tomorrow and you can leave. So have a great day."

"Thanks Grace try to get home early yourself ok."

"Ok see ya tomorrow."

"Don't have to work?"

"Nope do you really have to go in? We could take Julia skiing at Lake Placid."

"I guess I could leave everything for V let me just check if she's ok with it."

Jax called V and asked for permission to play hooky. V laughed at him for asking and told him to have fun."My boss says I can go, so what do you say Julia feel like swooshing down the hills?"

"Sure why not just no laughing when I wipe out for the hundredth time."

"I haven't been skiing in so long, I hope I'm not too rusty."Ally said.

"Al why do I just have the feeling you're going to ski circles around us."Jax laughed.

"I don't know but can I fly us there?"

"Sure because I will never hear the end of it if I say no."

"That works for me, let me get dressed."

"You know Jules we don't have to go skiing."

"I know but I think it will be fun so I'm game. Maybe I'll met a cute ski instructor."

"I'll keep an eye out for any cute ones and push you in their direction."Jax laughed.

"That works for me, I better go change too."

Julia had returned to London and called Brenda telling her that Ally was charming and loved Jax but they were still just dating. She told Brenda Jax asked if she was OK and then changed the subject after he said he hoped she was happy. She also told her sister that she didn't think Jax was ready to settle down yet but she could see that he was very much in love with Ally. Brenda thanked Julia for the information and quickly let her sister go.

"You'll never love anyone like you loved me Jax. You just think you love Ally but you'll forget her in an instant when I come back to you."She said to a tiny picture of Jax she kept hidden from Sonny. Brenda had been figuring out when she could slip away without Sonny noticing and was relieved to hear Jax wasn't doing anything insane like marrying the girl. She had time to devise the perfect plan and she knew it could be launched in July when Sonny had a Casino conference to attend. He'd be gone for the month and Brenda planned on leaving right behind him forever. She lightly traced the outline of his face remembering how wonderful the real thing felt and the feel of his lips and burning kisses. She closed her eyes and started to remember the last time they made love when she heard Sonny on the stairs and quickly slipped the picture into her pocket.

Ally had that sick feeling in the pit of her stomach all morning long and wondered what type of trouble was brewing. She made a mental checklist of where all her loved ones were and dismissed the feeling. She had been trying to come up with the perfect Valentine's day gift for Jax and was having trouble finding something for the man who had everything. Work was very slow so she left early and went shopping trying to find a wedding dress and inspiration for a gift for Jax. They were going to a Broadway premier that night and she headed home to take a shower and get ready.

Jax walked in the penthouse and knew Ally was home. The stereo was blaring Savage Garden's CD. He walked towards the bedroom and found Ally standing in front of the mirror singing and bopping to the beat while she dried her hair. He stood there in fascination watching her shimmy up and down and swaying her hips to the beat. She had the towel in a loose knot in the middle of her cleavage and he was amazed that with all her movement it wasn't already on the floor. That he definitely would have loved to see. She was oblivious to the fact that she had an audience and did a series of very sexy moves that made his heart pound. He heard the next section of the lyrics and thought it described how he felt every time he saw Ally.

I'm the kind of person who endorses a deep commitment

Getting comfy getting perfect is what I live for

But a look, then a smell of perfume

It's like I'm down on the floor

And I don't know what I'm in for

Towards the end of the song Ally spun around and spotted Jax. She stopped immediately resting on hand on her hip."And how long have you been standing there?"

"Not nearly long enough beautiful."He replied with a smirk.

"Enjoying the show?"

"Immensely."

The first few bars of Truly Madly Deeply played and he asked her to dance.

"Sorry you're too over dressed for this party."She purred.

"That's easily rectified."He said and whipped his jacket off and pulled his shirt over his head and gyrated a bit for her.

"That's better but you're still over dressed."Ally said sexily and looked at his pants.

Jax shrugged and turned his back to her after kicking off his shoes. He started rotating his hips and pulled his belt loose and tossed it at her. he turned around and Ally was grinning like a kid in a candy store. He undid the top button of his pants and pulled the zipper down. He slowly pulled his pants down and stepped out of them. Ally licked her lips at the sight of Jax in nothing but navy silk boxers and dress socks. He pushed her down on the bed and put his foot beside her and pushed his sock down and peeled it off as a female stripper might peel of her stockings. Ally found it sexy and hilarious at the same time and started giggling as Jax repeated the move on his other leg. She leaned over and kissed his calf then looked up at him. Her heart was beating a mile a minute as she gazed lovingly and his perfect, hard sculpted body. Jax turned around slowly for her and pulled her up into his arms and moved away from the bed.

"Well am I presentable now?"

"That's so much better you can join the party now."She said as the song ended.

"Looks like the song is over"

"That's easily rectified."Ally said sexily and picked up the stereo remote and reset the CD player to tract 3 and hit repeat. "Now we have all night."She purred.

Jax took her in his arms and held her tightly as they began to sway to the music. Jax pushed her hair off her shoulder and planted a sensuous kiss on her neck. She smelt heavenly to him a combination of her Jasmine bubble bath and Orchid petal shampoo. He inhaled her scent and took a tiny nibble from her neck. Ally started drawing little circles on his back with her index finger while she softly kissed the sensitive skin behind his ear. They continued dancing until Jax loosened his hold, took a step back and rested his hands on her hips. He started moving her hips to the music and gave her a long deep French kiss before showering her collar bone with little erotic kisses. He pulled Ally against him and started kissing her neck again and ventured up to nibble on her diamond studded ear lobs. It struck him that since he gave her the earrings she had only taken them out maybe five times to wear another pair he bought for her.

"Now you're over dressed for this party."He whispered in her ear and undid the knot holding up the towel sending it to the ground. Ally wrapped her arms around Jax's neck and kissed him passionately. He picked her up and placed her on the bed a few feet away. he slid out of his boxers and joined her, ravishing her entire body with gently kisses until ally told him it was her turn to repay the favour. She started at the top of his forehead and worked her way down his body. She licked his stomach then gently blew on it and got the reaction she wanted when he moaned in pleasure. She decided that since he liked it the rest of his body would get the same treatment and she drove Jax completely insane with pleasure that threatened to implode his entire body. Ally playfully nibbled on his big toe and ran the nail of her pinkie finger down his foot in an S pattern and Jax started laughing.

"Aha you are ticklish Jasper. I knew you had to be it was just a matter of time before I found out where."

"I'm not tickelish."He lied.

"Oh really?"Ally chuckled and starting tickling his feet until he had to start squirming and began to laugh again. She ran her hands up his leg to his chest and started kissing his throat.

"You're such a little brat Mrs. Jacks."He said wickedly.

She stopped kissing him and lifted her head to look in his eyes."And you're just figuring that out now? You're not too bright are you Mr. Jacks?"She teased.

Jax tried to look highly offended but she just laughed at him and went back to his throat. Ally took Jax to the heights of passion several times before she snuggled up to him resting her head on his chest and he closed his arms around her. They laid there in companionable silence for over an hour without stirring.

"Are you still awake love?"He asked.

"Umm hmm"

"Quarter for your thoughts."

"Just listening to your heart beat. You?"

"Wondering how many times Truly Madly Deeply has played since you hit repeat."

Her entire body shook with laughter."I forgot all about it I tuned it our ages ago."

"Feel like moving yet? We can just make the play if we hurry."

"Forgot all about it too. Actually I'm rather comfy at the moment."

"Good answer, I'd rather listen to your heart beating than listen to a bunch of actors drone on."

"Aren't we a lazy pair tonight. How are the reception plans going?"

"Coming along very nicely. I can't wait to see the look on your face when you walk through the door."

"I just can't wait to say I do."

"Are we going to write our own vows or follow the traditional ones?"

"I was thinking about that at work today and I'd like to write our own Jasp."

"Me too sweetie. Find a dress yet?"

"No and I don't want to even think about it. I've got enough Bridal magazines to build a fort. I've scoured most of New York, Boston and even Port Charles and haven't found a dress I like."

"Ha all I have to do is decide what colour vest and tie to wear."

"You don't even have to do that you're wearing white."

"Decision made then, that was easy."Jax laughed.

Ally bit down on his chest.

"Hey that hurt Vampira the wench. Can I help it if you can't find a dress?"

"Don't even mention the D word again or I'll draw blood."She warned.

"I wouldn't mind if you wore what you have on now."Jax laughed.

"Yeah walk down the aisle naked. I don't think so dear."She laughed.

"Aww come on darling, it's such a beautiful body."

"Tell you what I'll get up now and walk around the room humming the Wedding March."She teased.

"OK"Jax replied and tried to push her up. Ally wrapped her arms around his neck and started laughing.

"Come on Al I'm waiting."

"And I was just teasing."She giggled.

"It's not nice to tease your husband."

"1 you're not my hubby yet and 2 it's just so much fun."

Before Jax answered her she just kissed him quiet and they were soon making love once more. Jax was lying in her arms afterwards waiting for his sanity to return. Truly Madly Deeply was still playing and Ally was singing it to him.

"Al that CD is going to be warped it's been playing for six hours straight."He laughed.

"I'm starving what do you say to Pizza?"

"So you want to call or shall I?"He replied.

Ally grabbed the phone and ordered. They lied there talking until the doorbell rang. Jax got up and threw his robe on and answered the door. He brought the pizza back to the bedroom and put it in the middle of the bed. Ally grabbed a piece and in between bites the talked about their day and Ally informed him that Jerry and V decided on using Becky's villa in Barbados for their vacation at the end of the month.

"What are we doing for Valentine's day?"She asked.

"I've got dinner plans already made why?"

"Just wondering if you hadn't planned anything I was going to."

"It's your turn next year then."

"OK I look forward to planning a romantic little escape for us."

Jax leaned over to get the last piece of pizza and the toppings slid off on to Ally's stomach. Jax started eating it off her body as she laughed.

"You'd do anything to eat off me wouldn't you."

"Yes baby you're better than any plate."

"You know there's some chocolate pudding in the cupboard if you want dessert."She said with a grin. Jax was gone before she could blink and came back with the cup of pudding and a very naughty grin. Ally laughed when the soft substance hit her stomach and moaned in pleasure when Jax smeared it all over her breasts and proceeded to lick and kiss it off her body. By the time Jax was done with his dessert Ally was in the mood for her own and pulled Jax back onto her and told him to make love to her. He was more than happy to follow his fiancee's orders as they made love once more. Jax had finally drifted off to sleep around three am and Truly Madly Deeply was still playing in the background.
end 45

All of the pieces were in place. Jax was about to spring his latest surprise on an unsuspecting Ally. Their bags were packed and had been delivered to the jet an hour ago. She thought they were going out for dinner and he couldn't wait to see the look on her face when they arrived at the airport. He was a few minutes early , so he said hello to Grace and sat down in Ally's office. She smiled at him and rubbed her temples. Her hair was down and she looked pale. He was rescuing her just in the nick of time to whisk her off for a Valentine's day she'd never forget.

"Headache darling?"

"Yes I thought it might be a migraine but the squiggly lines disappeared. I haven't eaten since breakfast so hopefully dinner will make me feel better. Just let me finish this booking and we can go eat."

The limo was waiting for them outside. The only thing she didn't like about the limo was the fact that she could never see where they were going at night. Ally never had a clue and Jax would rarely share their destination. After they had been on the road for 30 mins she started wondering where they were going.

"I'm getting very hungry, where the heck are we eating?"She asked.

"Don't worry I won't starve you to death. Our destination is a secret."

The car finally stopped and Jax blindfolded Ally.

"Jax, I'm going to trip and kill myself. I promise I will only look down."

"Sorry no can do, I won't let you fall, I promise."

Jax helped her out of the car and swept her up in his arms . He hoped a plane wouldn't land or take off before he got her in the jet and give their location away. He placed her on the couch and quietly closed the door. He popped his head into the cockpit to tell Brad to go. He turned the music up, sat down beside her on the couch and pulled her into his lap. Just before the plane lifted off he gave her a long erotic kill that she knew would prevent her from even feeling the take off. He continued to kiss her until the plane leveled off. He slid her back on to the couch and turned the stereo down.

"Jax enough is enough can I please see where we are?"She begged.

He kissed her and removed the blindfold. It took a second for her eyes to register and she realized they were on the jet. Her eyes widened and a huge smile lite up her face. She kissed him gently.

"Jasp I had no idea we were in the air. Where on earth are you taking me for dinner? It better not be far I'm starving."She laughed.

"If you're hungry we can eat now."He got up and brought over two take out containers. Ally opened hers and found chicken satay and rice from Mai Thai in Los Angeles.

"Jax this is dinner right?"

"Right"

"Then where the heck are we going?"

"For dessert"He laughed

"You are crazy Jasper. In fact you are certifiable. Which doesn't say much for me since I love you."She giggled.

"Well you aren't exactly playing with a full deck either my dear and I still love you."He teased back.

"Can't you even give me a hint where we are going?"

"One and that's all you're getting out of me. It's warmer than New York"He said slyly

"Jaaaax that's no help at all, it's warmer in ... oh Toronto today."She whined.

"Sorry that's all you're getting out of me beautiful."

"Will I like it?"

"You'll love it and you'll love me even more."He replied.

"I'd love you even more Jasp if you told me where we were going."

"Ally aren't you getting sleepy yet? I think it's time you had a nap and stopped bugging me."

"A short one or a long one?"She asked mischievously

"Ally just go to sleep!"He laughed

"I think I'll go say hi to Brad first."

"Nice try, but you aren't going anywhere near the cockpit or the flight plan wench so relax and go to sleep."

"I can't sleep when I'm curious"She laughed.

"Humour me then wench, just stretch out and pretend to sleep."

Ally did as he asked and even closed her eyes. Jax played with her hair knowing it always put her to sleep. She fought it but she was asleep in 15 minutes. Jax watched her sleep and gently ran his hand down her arms. The plane began it's descent and Jax gently kissed her awake.

"What time is it darling?"

"Almost nine, did you have a good rest?"

"Hmm in the air for almost 31/2 hours so we aren't going for French eclairs or Californian butter cream. I know key lime pie from Florida."

"Close but sorry you're wrong"He said with a grin.

"Cuba? no they wouldn't let us in, hmm Jamaica?"Ally asked.

Jax didn't answer her so she knew she was right"Jamaica! Jax that's a little far to go for dessert. What dessert is Jamaica famous for anyway?"She laughed.

"OK I lied Al. We aren't going for dessert. We're going for the week. 4 nights at Sandals Negril and 3 at Montego Bay."

Ally's jaw dropped and then returned to place as a wide grin spread across her face. Her eyes looked like they were about to pop out of her head.

"Jasp I'm speechless but I have to be at work on Monday."

"I arranged this with Justin in January, Happy Valentine's Day Luv"

"Oh Jax, I don't believe you. I've wanted to go to Sandals for years."

"I know"Jax said with a grin.

"How? I don't remember mentioning it to you."

"I asked Grace where in the Caribbean you've always wanted to go and she told me you could never decide between these two Sandals properties. She also said that you'd joke you wanted a boyfriend just to get into Sandals."

"That's true. So Grace booked land only for you. She never even gave me a clue. Don't tell me I bet we are staying in the honeymoon one bedroom lofts in Negril and the Presidential, no Prime Minister's suite in Montego."

"Wow you sure know your Sandals accommodations. Yes that's exactly what I booked, only the best will do for you Al."

"Jasp I know I say this everytime you surprise me but I really do mean it. You are the most wonderful man in the world Jasper Jacks."She said and gave him a long sweet kiss.

"Thanks Ally but you know I get more enjoyment out of surprising you than almost anything else on the earth."

"Umm hmm but you are so hard to surprise Jax. There's a million things I've never done but you have done it all. You have no idea how frustrating it is trying to come up with a gift for you. I finally thought of something and it should be in the penthouse now."

"Hey I can wait to get my gift."

"You'll have to now"She laughed.

A jeep was waiting to take them from the private air strip in Negril to the hotel. The concierge was waiting for them at his office and led them to their loft. Dark green plush carpeting, mahogany tables and cream floral chintz over sized couches and chairs greeted them. Ally ran her hand over the mahogany spiral staircase that dominated the room while Jax pinched off one of the orchids from the large arrangement on the table and slid it into her hair.

"Wow this suite is even more gorgeous than the pictures in the brochure."

"Let's go check the bedroom out Ally." Jax picked her up and carried her up the staircase to the loft bedroom. "Now that's a bed" Jax laughed as he put her down on the oversized four poster mahogany bed. Ally stretched out and Jax joined her wrapping his arms around her.

"Mmmm very comfortable, I won't mind spending time in this bed. Jasper this is just sooo romantic thank you."

"You're welcome. Let me get the luggage and we can change and explore the resort."

Jax ran down the stairs and came back up with their suitcases lying Ally's down on the bed beside her. She opened it and started going thorough it.

"I see you packed for me."She laughed.

"No actually V did it for me. Why?"

"Well she packed for me with just you in mind."

"Meaning?"

"You are going to see lots and lots of skin."Ally replied and held up the tiny blue bikini and a barely there pale green slip dress.

Jax's eyes turned teal" How do I love V, let me count the ways."He said devilishly.

He leaned over Ally's hip and examined her suitcases' contents. He loved everything V packed and couldn't wait to see Ally wearing so little. He pulled out a very short aquamarine halter dress.

"Put this on Al"

She grabbed the dress and went into the bathroom to change and fix her hair. She slipped the dress on and looked in the mirror. The material was so light she felt like she was wearing nothing.

"Ally get out her."Jax said impatiently.

"I'm telling you now I'm not going outside with this on. I feel naked." She walked out of the bathroom and stood before Jax. His eyes turned teal and clouded over with desire. Hmm I might not even have to leave this room she thought.

"Oh Alllllly"He said huskily.

The dress looked more incredible on her than he imagined. It was even shorter than he figured qualifying as barely a micro mini. The back was bare and he could understand why Ally felt like she was naked. He pulled her close and lazily ran his hands down the silky expanse of her back as his tongue explored her warm mouth. He pulled away slowly

"Please wear it darling"He said in barely a whisper. He kissed her bare shoulders and returned to her lips. Ally finally pulled away before she passed out.

"Allright Jax for you I'll wear it. I get to pick you wardrobe then."

"Sure feel free to raid my suitcase."

Ally leaned over the bed to pull the suit case over . She felt His hand under the back of the skirt resting on her lower back.

"You can't bend in that dress Al."

"Remind me if I try to so much as move outside. I have the feeling I'm not going to be able to bend all week. I'm packing for V when she goes to Barbados to get her back."

"Ally hon you will be doing lot's of bending"He said wickedly"And Jer will love you even more than he does now for it."

Ally tossed him a pair of beige shorts and a mint green silk shirt."Go change"

Jax came out of the bathroom and turned waiting for her reaction.

"Come here sexy"

Jax sauntered over to her and put his hands on her shoulders and leaned his forehead against hers. "Is this close enough?" He whispered.

Ally grinned and undid the top five buttons of his shirt."If I'm showing skin so are you."She whispered and gave him an erotic kiss, slowly pulling away and tugging on his hand to lead him downstairs.

Jax grabbed some grapes from the fruit platter that had been left for them and opened the door for her. They wandered out to the beach and stopped in at the piano bar to get a drink

"Drinks in the Caribbean just have to have an umbrella don't you think?"Ally asked.

He looked at the pineapple spear and cherry on the swizzle stick in his glass. "I don't know mine is edible you can't eat yours."He teased.

Ally stole the cherry and popped it in her mouth.

"You little thief you"He laughed.

Ally just grinned and licked her lips. The bartender filled a swizzle stick with cherries and gave it to Jax. "You have to keep the lovely lady happy."He laughed.

Jax ate one of the cherries and dropped another in her mouth. "Thanks that I do."

They walked back along the beach and stopped at a hammock between two palm trees.

"Get up Al"

"I've never been very good at getting on those things. You get up I'll hold your drink."

Jax handed her his glass and effortlessly got on the hammock. "I'll give you a lesson on the fine art of not ending up on the ground tomorrow."He teased.

"That's where I usually end up so thanks."She laughed.

Ally caressed his face and talked to him quietly while they listened to the waves crash on the beach and gazed at the millions of visible stars.

"This is perfect Jax, "

"Not as perfect as you wench" Jax said and lifted her on to the hammock kissing her passionately. They fell asleep in the hammock.
