A/N: I know I just started a new Liason story, and I tend to one story at a time, but this story has been begging for months for me to write it. This is going to be totally different than all my other stories, and not only because it's a totally different pairing, so I hope you enjoy!

Some background info: I've altered the history slightly, just to make this story work. Lucky left before December 2011, and Elizabeth has since moved on. Also, she never checked herself in Shadybrook. I can't remember if Carly and Johnny started in 2011, but for the purpose of this story, they never happened, at all. Also, the only way for Johnny and Elizabeth to ever work is to have to go back beyond 2012, but it sucked for Johnny. No way would Elizabeth ever be with a rapist and a child-killer. I think that covers it, but if you're confused, don't hesitate to ask!

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters, just the storyline.

Chapter 1

One Night

~December 31st, 2011~

It was New Year's Eve, and she wanted to be anywhere but here. She would have rather stayed at home with her boys and celebrate New Year's Eve with them.

But since Lucky left in the summer to find himself, Elizabeth had realized that they were never meant to be. He chose to not be a father to his sons, and it made moving on from him a lot easier.

But here she was, on her fifth blind date. Against her better judgment, Elizabeth had allowed Robin to sign her up for an online dating website. At the time, she figured she sucked at picking good guys, so it couldn't hurt. So far it has been a bust.

Her dates are nice guys and all, but they lack passion and edge. Most of the guys she has been with are considered "bad boys", and Elizabeth guessed they were her type.

So here she was, listening to the lawyer across from her describe a case he just won. Elizabeth looked around the room, watching other couples that were actually enjoying themselves. She longed for that, and her date pulled her back into the conversation.

The Haunted Star has just reopened, under the ownership of Lulu Falconeri and Johnny Zacchara. Elizabeth knew of their past relationship, but also knew that they were amicable friends, and Lulu was madly in love with Dante.

Placing her head on her hand, Elizabeth watched her date, who was paying no attention to her. She sighed and announced that she was getting a drink. Not to her surprise, her date just keeps talking.

Taking a seat at the bar, Elizabeth motions to the bartender for a drink. Turning around to face his customer, Johnny is surprised to see Elizabeth sitting before him.

"It's Elizabeth right," he tentatively asked as he poured a shot of tequila. Elizabeth nodded her head and quickly downed her shot.

"Do you have any limes," Elizabeth asked. Johnny nodded and cut up a few slices for her. Placing salt on her hand, she licks it, then downs her shot and finally proceeds to suck the lime.

God, you still amaze me
When you speak to me that way

"Wow," Johnny said as Elizabeth smiled at him. "What, you've never heard of Lick it, Slam it, Suck it," she asked. Johnny shook his head, and Elizabeth laughed.

"C'mon, you're a bartender, you had to have heard about it. Now, you're just making me feel old," Elizabeth explained, ordering another shot in the process.

"Here, why don't you try," she teased him. He was intrigued by her offer, instantly hooked on the woman sitting in front of him.

Johnny had never said more than five words to the woman, and they never ran into each other in Port Charles since he moved her four years ago.

Pouring himself a shot, Elizabeth placed the salt on his hand. Licking his hand, he proceeds to down his shot, and Elizabeth quickly hands him a lime. Despite herself, Elizabeth licks her lips as she watches Johnny suck the juice out of the lime. And then she proceeded to laugh as his face puckered up at the sourness of the lime.

Oh, the sound of your voice
The look in your eyes, you stand there in your grace

"Wow," was all he said as he looked into her eyes. They were clear and a deep blue, instantly latching onto him. Johnny supposed he gazed for a moment too long, for Elizabeth turned away from him.

"So, Liz, what brings you to my bar," Johnny asked as he wiped down the counter. He saw her raise an eyebrow at his little nickname for her, and assumed that not a lot of people called her Liz.

She hitched a thumb over her shoulder, and Johnny looked beyond her to see a square guy sitting at a table by himself. Johnny smirked as he could immediately tell that he wasn't Elizabeth's type.

"Let me guess, one of your friends hooked you up," Johnny asked as he poured her another shot. "You're good at these guessing games," Elizabeth inquired as she downed yet another tequila shot.

"Are you sure-"

Elizabeth raised another eyebrow at him, daring him to finish his question. He raised his hands in surrender, liking the feisty side of this woman, and kicking himself on the inside for not talking to her sooner.

"You don't like good guys, do you? You prefer the bad boys. The ones that can make your toes curl with just one look. The ones that go looking for trouble and live for danger," Johnny said, slowly inching closer to her as he slightly taunted her, but she didn't fall for it.

"And you like the good girls, right? The daddy's girls, and the little rich girls that want to rebel against their parents by going out with a guy lie you," Elizabeth rebuked with a sassy grin. Johnny gave her the same grin right back as he attended to another customer.

Every so often, he would glance back at her, mystified by her behavior. From what he knew, Elizabeth Webber was a mother of two and surgical nurse at General Hospital. Who knew she was a feisty temptress?

You told me that the scars you bear
Are beautiful and real

She was also associated with Jason Morgan a few years back. Johnny wondered how he let a woman like that go for a less-than-woman Sam McCall.

Shaking his head, Johnny walks back over to his favorite customer, pouring himself a shot to join her.

"I'm afraid I'm little too old to go looking for little rich girls that want to prove their daddies wrong and seek attention. Been there, done that," Johnny said. Elizabeth didn't need to ask, she knew all about him and Lulu.

"Take a shot with me," he tempted her, and he didn't need to ask twice. Placing salt on each other's hands, Elizabeth stops Johnny from sucking the salt off of his own hand.

So turn the lights back on again
All to see the things you feel

Instead, she offers her hand for his. His gaze moves from her hand to her tantalizing lips, then her hypnotizing eyes. He couldn't say no.

And we've got one night
To let the whole world know

Slowly bringing her hand to his mouth, his painfully licks the salt of her hand, and if he had been any slower, he was sure he could have made her moan. Then, he quickly down his shot and sucked the juice out of the lime she offered him.

He watched the hint of grin on her face, and raised his hand for her turn. Taking his rough and calloused hand in her delicate one, Elizabeth made it equally slower and painful.

Just how perfect we could be
Just close your eyes and then you'll see

She kissed his hand, before leisurely licking his hand, and made sure to purse her lips for good measure. Elizabeth kept her eyes on Johnny the whole time, and felt him shudder with the mere touch of her tongue. She downed her shot and raised his other hand to her mouth, which was holding the lime.

We've got one night
To let the whole world know

Elizabeth would have smirked when she saw Johnny almost drooling, but the lime prevented that. She carefully watched as his eyes lit up as she sucked on the lime, a little longer than necessary.

"That was…um…" Johnny stuttered, not capable of completing a sentence. How could this woman, who he had just met and spent fifteen minutes with, bring a renowned womanizer and bad boy to his knees?

Forget about the falling stars
Tonight we'll show them who we are, we are

"It was," Elizabeth said as she placed the lime back down on the table. Johnny cleared off the counter and attended to the other customers around the bar. He needed to cool off, for Elizabeth would have surely made him come undone right behind that bar.

Feel it when you're near me
And I know when you're not there

Getting himself a bottle of beer to clear his nerves, he takes three long gulps and wipes off his forehead. Johnny looks back down at Elizabeth, who is still grinning at him, as if she was in on a little secret about him.

Throughout the night, Johnny would continue to pour drinks for Elizabeth, and they eventually moved past small and shallow talk. Elizabeth told him about her family life as a teenager, always being shadowed by her older brother Steven or older sister Sarah. Johnny totally sympathized, for his grandfather never considered him "business material."

Elizabeth asked him why he quit the business, and Johnny said that he was tired of the killing and ruining people's lives. He was tired of living under other's people's shadows, namely his grandfather and Sonny. Elizabeth congratulated him, explaining that it took a lot of courage to turn your back on your family.

Johnny asked her about moving to Port Charles as a teenager, and that's when their conversation took a dark turn. He never knew about her rape, but the way she described it. She never look that sad and upset, almost lost and empty.

Numb on the edge and so alone
And no one seems to care

She told him that it took her awhile to move on, but she eventually did, with the help of Lucky. Johnny knew about their recent relationship, but he never knew them as first loves. Elizabeth explained that she may never be able to get rid of Lucky, like she owed him something, but Johnny explained that no man should ever treat a woman like Lucky did to her. It's no excuse.

But you reach out and pull me back
And love me 'til I'm free

Elizabeth nodded, and tabled that part of the conversation. They soon moved into Johnny buying The Haunted Star. Elizabeth watched with a smile as Johnny's eyes lit up when he talked about music. It reminded her of when she was younger and wanted to be an artist. They completely clicked on that level, the want to express yourself through art, and no one else could understand.

All the joy in my life I feel like
I've lost you, see inside of me

They spent hours talking at that bar, never getting tired or bored. Elizabeth told stories about Cameron and Aiden, and even some about Jake. That Johnny knew about, and he told her that he was sincerely sorry for her, and that she has to go through that pain. Elizabeth thanked him, and told him it was getting a little bit easier each day, but the pain would never go away.

And we've got one night
To let the whole world know

Johnny checked the time to see that it was one minute to midnight on New Year's Eve. Elizabeth's date had finally come looking for her, after spending the entire night with two girls on his arm.

"Date incoming, six o-clock," Johnny muttered, interrupting Elizabeth about the time she spent a summer with her family at the lake. She discreetly turned around, to see her lawyer walking towards her with a cheesy grin on his face.

Just how perfect we could be
Just close your eyes and then you'll see

The countdown began, and her date was eying her to ring in the New Year with him. Elizabeth looked around, knowing that there was no escape, except for right in front of her.

We've got one night
To let the whole world know

Throwing caution to the wind, knowing there wasn't much time left, Elizabeth leaned over the bar and pulled on Johnny's black collared shirt and crashed her lips into his.

Forget about the falling stars
Tonight we'll show them who we are, we are

He was taken completely off guard, until her lips started to move against his. Enjoying the embrace, Johnny's hands came up to Elizabeth's face, and held her against him. He opened his eyes to see an astonished looked on Elizabeth's date's face, and he finally walked away.

Life's a song I'll sing
And it doesn't matter anymore if anyone is listening to me

Elizabeth immediately pulled away, face blushing with embarrassment. Johnny is stunned beyond words, not believing that just happened. As everyone was cheering and screaming about 2012, Elizabeth and Johnny were touching their lips, feeling the electricity run between the two of them.

'Cause you move like light
You send all to me, tend to pull me through my life

Following Elizabeth's lead, Johnny throws caution to the wind. Taking Elizabeth's hand in his, he leads her out of the club area and into his office.

And we've got one night
To let the whole world know

He closes the door behind him, and stares hungrily at Elizabeth. She immediately starts to apologize, saying that what she did was beyond embarrassing, the alcohol was doing the talking, and it was okay if they never spoke to each other again, but Johnny ignores her.

Just how perfect we could be
Just close your eyes and then you'll see

Instead, he pulls her flush against him, and crashes his lips into hers to quell her rambling. He knew it; there was something special about her lips, and the way they moved against his. Elizabeth's lips moved with his, until she opened her mouth and their tongues fought for dominance. She nipped at his lip, and quickly soothed it with her tongue. Elizabeth felt a deep growl in his chest, and it quickly aroused her.

Elizabeth hitches her leg up around his waist, and Johnny moves them so she is up against the wall.

We've got one night
To let the whole world know

"I don't normally do this," Elizabeth says huskily between Johnny's demanding yet soothing kisses. Johnny shakes his head at the feisty yet angel-like brunette in his arms.

"Just shut up and kiss me," Johnny said, and Elizabeth saw nothing wrong with that.

Forget about the falling stars
Tonight we'll show them who we are
