| CHAPTER 8
�What are you doing on my bed?� Alexis asked Sonny as she entered her bedroom. �Just sitting here waiting for you.� He smiled back She stands there holding the door open. �Your room is across the hall and you can go there now!� Smirking. �What I don�t even get a kiss goodnight?� Flabbergasted she quickly shuts her door. �Now I know you think this is funny and all�.I mean why wouldn�t you, you have the whole town thinking we�re sleeping together.� �Not the whole town.� He replies shrugging his shoulders. �But if You like I could put a notice in the paper or better yet on the internet. However I don�t think we should call you Eddie�s angel this time. How about��..� �Okay that is so NOT funny, Corinthos!� �I�m sorry councilor, I didn�t mean to make fun.� She walks over to the bed and slams her briefcase on the edge of the bed. �The hell you didn�t.� He gets up. �I�m sorry really.� He walks behind her and begins massaging her neck. �Wow you really are tense. You need to lighten up once in a while.� �That�s kind of hard to do when there�s a mini mobster in my bedroom.� �I own a coffee warehouse.� He slides her coat off of her shoulders. �I can really make you feel better if you let me Alexis.� Her whole body tightened up. �I meant by giving you a real massage.� He whispered in her ear. �You know you really do need to learn to breathe.� He pulls out her desk chair and reluctantly she sits in it. He begins working his magic on her neck. �Okay now take a deep breath and let it our slowly.� �Sonny it�s late��.� �Take a deep breathe� He demands and she complies. �Now just relax and let me make you feel better.� His words instantly make her start to tighten up again. �Breathe councilor.� He whispered in her ear as he blew on her neck. �You know what.� She stated trying to get up as he pushed her back onto the chair. �I don�t really think you being in my room is such a good idea�..the girls are just down the hall and they can walk in at anytime.� His hands go down her arms a little. �I checked on them a few minutes before you got home and they are both sound asleep.� Alexis was finding it harder and harder to breathe as Sonny�s hands came back up her arms and he pushed her hair to the one side of her shoulder. �Molly is teething really bad and she could start to cry at an moment.� �And I�m sure you�ll hear her.� He again whispered in her ear while blowing on her neck. �Is there a reason why you love to torment me so much?� �Am I tormenting you councilor?� He asked as he placed little kisses on her exposed neck. �If so, I�d like to know how.� �Sonny we�ve been donw this road before.� She replied finally catching her breath. �And I don�t think it�s a good idea for us to be revisiting it.� �Would you like me to stop?� She closed her eyes as his hands slid down the front of her shirt and he began to unbutton a few buttons. Slowly he pushed her shirt along with her bra straps down her arms. �I�m not trying to get fresh councilor and I�ll only take this as far as you want to go.� �Why are you doing this to me Sonny?� She asked in a pleading voice. �All I want to do is make you feel better Alexis.� She could feel the knots in her neck loosen up as his hands did there magic. �I have to admit this does feel��.. really good.� �Then don�t fight it.� He replied as he continued to taunt her with his tiny kisses up and down her neck. �Relax, breathe slowly and go with it.� Alexis didn�t say anything for a few moments. She knew she should stop him but she just couldn�t. His hands touching her bare skin, running up and down her arms, neck and shoulders just felt to good. She loved his soft tender touch, his oh so gently kisses and she didn�t want it to end. His hands start to wander down her back causing her to open her eyes. �If you lie down on the bed, I�d be happy to get the knots out of your back as well.� He whispered more intense then before. Alexis knew she had to stop things before they went to far. She jumped up out of the chair and pulled her shirt back over her shoulders. �Thank you. I feel much better.� �Are you sure you want me to stop now?� He asked seductively She couldn�t look him in the eyes. �Sonny we can�t do this and you know that.� He walks over to her and places his hands around her waist. �Why not.� At first she didn�t know what to say. Was he really asking why they couldn�t take their relationship, a relationship mind you that has taken them so long to get back, to the next level. And not just a one night stand like before but something real, something lasting. �Sonny we just can�t.� Was all she could think to say. He placed his hand under her chin and made her eyes connect with his. Slowly he brought his lips closer and closer. She knew she should pull away but it was like a magnetic force was stopping her from doing so and then before she knew it her eyes closed along with his and their lips lightly touched. He brought his hand back around her waist and pulled her deep into him. The kiss seemed to take on a life of it�s own, it was more powerfully then either one of them had even suspected. After a few seconds they both pulled back and looked into one another�s eyes. Sonny was waiting for her eyes to tell him it was okay to take things further but all he could see was the uncertainty of what just happened. He knew she felt the same way he did but he didn�t want to push it. He took his one hand and put it behind her neck and pulled her in for one more kiss. �Goodnight Alexis.� he quietly stated as he left the room. She took a deep breath as her body fall back on the edge of the bed. �What the heck just happened.� She asked herself as a single tear ran down her face. �Why did I let him walk out like that?' |
