Flight Of Destiny

By Cathy

"Hi honey, I'm home," She called out.

Liz came down the stairs."Hi Jax, Ally I love your idea of shortly-3 hours! What's your definition of a few hours? 10."Liz said trying to sound mad but her smile gave her away.

"Sorry Liz, it was my fault," Jax said sincerely.

"Yup, it's all his fault," Ally said and stuck her tongue out at Jax.

"Hey no fair Al. As I recall you weren't exactly in a hurry to get out of my bed," He said enticingly.

"Whoooose idea was it to go back to bed? I was dressed and downstairs when you kidnaped me and had your way with me," She laughed.

"You call wearing nothing but my shirt being dressed? I'm going to have to pick you up for work every day if that's how you dress," He said wickedly.

"In your dreams, darling," She purred."Look let's not argue about whose fault it was. It was yours. Case closed. !"

"Children, children, children: I don't care whose fault it was. You are both grounded," Liz said sternly.

They all started to laugh. Ally excused herself to go change. Liz got Jax a glass of Coke and sat down beside him.

"Can I ask you a favour Liz?"He asked

"Sure you can ask. I might not be able to grant it though."

"Would you mind if Ally came to stay with me for the rest of the week?"

"Well I was kinda hoping we could have lunch tomorrow but I'm willing to negotiate on 2 conditions. 1. I get Ally Friday night. 2. You come to my wedding."

"You drive a hard bargain Liz but I'll accept your offer as is."He said sweetly.

He started to quietly tell her what he had planned for Ally for the rest of the week. Ally came downstairs to see them talking in hushed tones. She crossed one leg in front of the other, put her hands on her hips and exclaimed"Hmm, my favourite cousin and my man all cozy on the couch, whispering to each other. Should I be worried?"

Jax looked up at Ally. She looked incredibly irresistible. She had on tight faded blue jeans and a short tight periwinkle blue angora sweater that exposed her washboard stomach. Ally noticed that Jax was looking at her like he was starving and she was the feast. This amused her greatly. She sauntered over to where he was sitting and licked her lips and gave him a sexy smile.

"So what were the two of you talking about?"

"We were ironing out your custody agreement. Jax gets you during the week and I get you Friday and Saturday."Liz said.

"Thank you Mom, you're the greatest," Ally laughed and gave her a big hug."We better get going Jax looks like he's starving to death." Jax blushed, he knew she could read his mind and it wasn't food he wanted.

"I was just going to order pizza and Craig was coming over. Why don't you stay and eat with us?"Liz said.

Jax pulled Ally onto his knee and kissed the side of her face,"It's up to you Al?"He whispered.

"Sounds good to us," Ally answered. She could see how happy Liz was with her answer. She whispered to Jax"Thanks, Jasp you've just made Lizzie very happy. Here is your reward." She gave him a long slow smoldering kiss.

"Remind me to make Liz happy a lot," He said devilishly.

The pizzas and Craig arrived at the same time. After introducing the men they sat down and devoured dinner. Ally and Jax hadn't eaten since the night before. Liz was glad Craig and Jax were getting along. Maybe now he won't flip out when he finds out I asked Jax to the wedding she thought. Craig wanted a small ceremony and Liz had invited 145 people and 134 now 135 were coming. After dinner Liz suggested, they play a game.

"How about Monopoly? I haven't played it in years," Craig suggested.

Ally's face lit up. She was a ruthless Monopoly player and had never lost a game. Liz knew Ally was going to win but she agreed any ways. They all looked at Jax.

"I think it is only fair to remind you all that I'm a billionaire corporate raider. I play Monopoly every day for real. I'm afraid it won't be fair to the rest of you," Jax said sweetly.

Your ego is far to healthy Jasper Jacks Ally thought. I'll just have to serve you some humble pie.

"We'll take our chances darling," Ally said confidently.

"But Al, I'll feel bad after I humiliate you."Jax said sweetly.

Ally wanted to deck him. "Please Jax don't worry about me. I'd be more worried about humiliating yourself if I were you. You've never seen me play."She said seriously.

"Darling you might be good playing against rank amatures but I"m a master. You don't stand a chance against me, my pretty."He said antagonistically.

Ally's blood started to boil."Care to make a wager on it?"She said calmly.

"You're committing suicide my dear. However if I win, you have to wait on me hand and foot for a month when we get back to N.Y." Jax said with a wicked grin.

"Fine, but when I win you have to....(Ally thought about what she'd like Jax to do but she realized he'd do it any ways)Let's see you have to give me flying lessons."

"Get ready to lose Ally," He said arrogantly.

"Take your own advice."She replied icily.

Oh, boy Liz thought Craig and I are toast. This will be interesting though.

Fifteen minutes into the game Ally controlled the railroads and the water works. Liz owned the electric company, Craig was in jail and Jax owned four properties. No one had landed on Boardwalk but Ally had just acquired Park Place and a get out of jail free card.

"I could have used that 2 years ago."Jax laughed.

"Why?"Ally asked in amazement. Jax had been arrested?

"They thought I was a drug smuggler. I was set up and a bag of drugs were planted on me."He responded.

As they played Jax told them the Story. He told them he was set up so that he wouldn't have time to help Brenda. He told them about V. tailing him, about jumping bail to rescue Brenda, about V. stowing away on his jet and it crashing, how they became friends and escaping Rivera and the Tin Man.

"And you said Jerry was the adventurous one," Ally laughed.

She picked up the dice and rolled a six. She giggled in delight. "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Boardwalk," She sang "I'll buy it of course."She shot Jax a take that look.

They continued to play. Ally bought the Electric Company off of Liz to control all the utilities. She had 3 hotels on Boardwalk when Jax landed on it. Jax groaned and Ally let out a wicked little laugh as she waited to collect her money from him. Craig soon went bankrupt and Ally got all of his property because she financed it all. She controlled a little more than half the board. When Liz went bankrupt, Ally picked up enough of her properties to control 2/3 of the board.

"I win you lose Jasper Jacks," she said smugly.

Jax looked fit to be tied. He'd lost to her again and he despised losing. Ally smiled at him sweetly. She got up and sat on his lap. She kissed him passionately."So when do my flying lessons start, Teach," She whispered.

Jax quickly forgot he was mad at her and kissed her back.

"Well, you've eaten our food and sent us into bankruptcy. I think it's time for both of you to leave," Liz joked.

Ally looked at her watch it was 10:30pm. She looked at Jax and he was stifling a yawn. It had been a long and very physical day for them. She thought back to how she had spent the day and smiled. If you are going to exhaust yourself that certainly was the best way to do it, she thought.

"I'm going to pack. Try to console poor Jasper," She laughed.

"So has she always been that bloody competitive?"Jax asked.

"YUP! She hates to lose. She gets down right nasty on a tennis court. The last time I played with her I was mad at her for 3 days. She sees what she wants and goes after it no holds barred. That's why she was such a great competitive figure skater."Liz responded.

"She doesn't look like she has a killer instinct does she?"He said.

"No, she doesn't. She looks like the sweetest, most gentle person on earth. That's what makes her so dangerous. People take one look at her and dismiss her. Then she chews them up and spits them out. Don't get me wrong Jax. I love her to death. She's my baby sister but I'd never want to be on her bad side. You'll see what I mean at my Wedding. Our cousin Ashley is a royal pain but I put up with her. Ally on the other hand hates her. The problem is Ashley is stupid. Instead of avoiding Al she seeks her out to provoke her. Ally has zero patience for her and if she doesn't leave Al gets very mean and deliberately hurts Ashley. I've heard her in action and she is vicious. Ashley has run away from Ally in tears countless times."Liz replied.

"Thanks for the warning Liz but I don't plan on ever being on her bad side. I guess that's one more reason why we get along, you don't want to cross me either. My prince charming is replaced by a deadly viper."Jax said.

"Yeah I've read about you. What was the Time magazine cover title? Oh I remember Ruthless Viper by Day, World's Most Eligible by Night."Liz laughed.

"That was it. It made me seem a lot worse on a daily basis than I am but there was a lot of truth in it. Thankfully I'm no longer eligible. Ally raided my heart."Jax laughed.

"Talking about me again. It better be all flattering!"Ally teased.

"Just telling Jax how you hate to lose cousin dear."Liz said

"I told you Jasper you've met your match in me"She said.

"It seems I have. Lucky me."Jax replied and gave her a wink and a smile.

"See ya on Friday Lizzie and thanks again for letting me play house with Jax. You know I love you."Ally said and gave Liz a big hug and kiss. She kissed Craig good night and told him it wasn't too late to get out of Dodge. Liz smacked her in the head with a pillow and called her a wicked brat.

"Thanks Liz for dinner and granting me custody of the evil wench."Jax said sweetly and gave Liz a brief kiss.

Wow Liz thought, no wonder Ally's so crazy about him. He is the world's best kisser.

When they got back in the Limo Ally asked Jax what Liz had told him and gave him a long steamy kiss.

"You mean besides the fact that she hates your guts?"He teased.

"I know that already," She laughed.

"She told me not to play tennis with you and that you were a competitive figure skater. Where you Olympic caliber good?"

"Yup. If my ankle hadn't been shattered, you would be sitting beside a world and Olympic champion. I won the World Juniors 5 months before I was in a car accident that shattered my ankle and broke 2 bones in my foot. When the bones finally mended the doctor told me, I would never be able to skate competitively again. I went to see the top 6 orthopedic specialists in North America but they all said no way. They told me I might be able to skate for a year but the constant landings and one small mistake and It would break again and this time it wouldn't heal properly. I was crushed. All I had ever wanted to do was win the gold and I was well on my way . . . but life sucks sometimes. My Dad promised me that one way or another God would make it up to me with great joy. He was right. I met this incredible but ugly guy named Jasper."

Jax was touched, even with the ugly crack."Wow Ally I can imagine how hard that must have been to come to terms with. I know first hand how devastating losing a dream can be. With the track record I had with love I had given up on ever trying to fall in love again. It was for my heart and sanities sake. Then out of the thin air I met you and fell in love overnight."He said and gave her a sweet kiss.

They arrived back at the beach house and Jax brought her suitcase up to the bedroom. Ally pored them a glass of wine and went out to the patio.

"I knew I'd find you here," He said softly and wrapped his arms around her.

Ally took a long sip of her wine. She wished they could stay here forever. She dreaded going back home on Monday but she was glad Jax didn't live in another city. They stood in silence watching shooting stars and making wishes. There were a million stars out that night. They enjoyed a warm September breeze and each others company. Jax finally spoke,"Ally I had a great time today and I adore Liz and Craig is great too. I'd love to stay her with you forever but I'm pretty exhausted and I have a meeting at 9am. I need some sleep. Care to join me, my love?"

"I'm glad you liked Liz. She's truly special to me and I adore Craig. Today was great but I'm pretty exhausted myself. So led the way."She replied

Jax whisked her up and tossed her onto the bed. He gave her several blistering kisses.

"I thought you were tired?"She said breathlessly.

"I'm never too tired for this," He said sexily.

Ally giggled and returned his kisses with smoldering ones of her own. Jax quickly sent her sweater and bra flying across the room, the rest of their clothes soon followed. He ran his hands up and down her body sending her into ecstasy immediately. He kissed her all over and began to slowly make love to her. He could see how much she loved him and wanted him in her eyes. He never broke his eye contact with her. Ally could see how much he desired and loved her in his eyes and it heightened the experience for her. When they had finally finished Ally cradled, Jax in her arms and he fell asleep in a minute. She ran her fingers through his silky hair, kissed the top of his head and drifted off to sleep.
