| CHAPTER 2
Sonny helped Alexis into the waiting limo and closed the door behind her. He spoke to the drive for a few minutes before reaching into his pocket and making several phone calls. His first call was to Jason to let him know that he would be out of the office and not to expect him any time soon. Which in unspoken words Jason knew meant he was not to be disturbed under any circumstance. Jason or course figured it has something to do with Carl or Kate. Never in his wildest dreams would he guess that it was Alexis who needed his full attention. His next phone call was to his brother Ric asking him if he�d spoken to Alexis today making sure he wasn�t the one who put her in this fragile state of mind. After getting utterly annoyed with Ric and still not knowing if he had something to do with it he hung up the phone and dialed a few more numbers, one belonging to Jax and the other to Jerry. Alexis was so lost in thought that she didn�t even realize how long it took for Sonny to join her in the limo. She looked up at him when he closed his door and sat next to her. Without so much as a warning Sonny raised his right arm and slid it around Alexis�s neck and pulled her head to his chest. Her eyes finally stopped leaking when she felt his arm slide down her body and he held her close. It seemed like they had driven for hours but in reality it had really only been twenty or so minutes, or Alexis thought until her cell phone rang and Sonny stopped her from answering it. She looked out the window and noticed for some strange reason Sonny had his driver drive around in circles. She looked back at him and she could tell he was waiting for her to let him know that she was okay. That she could handle going into the house and face her two little girls without losing it. Sonny tapped on the glass behind him and the driver drove them straight to the Lake House. Sonny got out of the car and then helped Alexis out. She started to walk to the front door but stopped when she noticed Sonny�s feet weren�t moving and his hand still had a firm grip on hers. He pulled her back to him and embraced her. She didn�t know what to do or what to think so without thinking she embraced him back. If felt so good to be in his arms but there was no way she was going to allow him to know that. After a few moments he let go of the embrace but not her hand and walked her to the front door. As they slowly made their way onto the front porch and up to the door he let go of her hand taking her keys from her. He smiled at her and unlocked the door before he handed her back the keys. She tapped the side of his face and half heartedly smiled back at him. She walked through the now open door and dropped her keys on the floor missing her desk all together. Sonny wasn�t sure if she wanted him to come in but since she didn�t shut the door behind herself he took that as a sign and entered. He bent down and picked up her keys knowing she would go crazy tomorrow looking for them. He placed them on her desk as her heard her quietly speak. �Viola.� She said softly. To softly in fact for anybody to hear her. Sonny noticed a note in the corner of his eye and went over to pick it up. �They aren�t here.� He quietly replied back. Alexis turned and with such sadness in her eyes looked up at him. He so wanted to help her but he didn�t know how. He held up the note. �Viola took them to the park and is going to take them for ice cream after that.� Alexis didn�t say a word as she slid his jacket off her arms and placed it on a nearby chair. She didn�t even think about the fact that she no longer had her blouse on and was wearing nothing but her bra. �Thank you for bringing me home.� She said as she walked over to the fireplace and threw in a few logs.� �Don�t worry about your car Alexis.� Sonny said as he made his way over to her and grabbed her hand. �I�ll have my driver pick you up in the morning and bring you to it.� She looked up at him and smiled a polite smile. �Meanwhile why don�t you get out of these wet clothes and allow me to start the fire.� She titled her head and then headed back towards her bedroom and it wasn�t until she reached the hallway that she realized her lack of attire. She looked back at Sonny who was looking up at her smiling and for some strange reason his eyes placed upon her half naked body didn�t seem to bother her. She walked into her room and removed the remainder of her clothes piece by piece. She looked into the mirror and frowned when she saw how dissolved and disorientated she had looked. Sonny started to build the fire when he heard the shower turn on. He had hoped she was okay and if not that she would be. He so hated seeing her in this manner. She is such a strong smart woman and as he thought about it he doesn�t ever remember seeing her so lost. Even when she was kidnapped by Helena or called her wedding off to Ned, the once true love of her life, did she seem so lost and alone. The only time he ever in fact saw her at such a low point in her life was when she was fighting cancer and wanted to just give up. She thought she had nothing to live for and that put such an ache in his heart. For some reason at this very minute he had wished he would have told her that back then but he didn�t and now it was too late. He could only hope that she knew. ~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~** Sonny walked over and poured himself another glass of bourbon as he waited for Alexis to emerge from the shower. He knew he shouldn�t be drinking and he reminded himself of that with every glass he inhaled but for some reason he didn�t care. As Sonny poured himself yet another glass he was already starting to feel no pain. He knew in that instant that he should probably leave but he couldn�t. There was something in Alexis eyes that told him she needed him even if she didn�t want him to see it. The fire started to die down so Sonny walked over and placed another large log on it. He then came to the conclusion that Alexis had been in the shower for way to long. He hesitated for a moment about going in and checking on her because he didn�t want to invade her space but he knew he had to make sure she was alright. He walked into her room and placed his drink on her dresser calling out her name several times but with no response. He then walked closer to her opened bathroom door trying his hardest not to look in and called out her name several more times. Sonny had hoped she�d forgive him as he still got no response and felt in necessary to enter her bathroom and make sure she was okay. His heart nearly skipped a beat when he saw the outline of her fully exposed body leaning against the back wall of the shower allowing the water to washed down it, touching her in places he had only dreamed about. She was more beautiful than he even remembered. He could feel the heat rise up in him as he continued to stare at her. The room felt like it went up 100 degrees and his breathing became very shallow. Every muscle in his body tensed and his feet froze. He snapped himself out of thinking what he�d love to do to her right there and then as he remember why he was there in the first place. Carefully he pulled back the shower curtain and handed her a towel. He tried his hardest to keep his eyes glued on hers but he wasn�t having any luck with that as his eyes had a mind of their own. His eyes weren�t the only thing searching her body his soul was as well. He just kept taking in the seductiveness of her hot sensual being with his dark brown eyes as the pressure in his own body continued to build. It had taken him several minutes before he realized that he was still holding a now soaking wet towel out to unresponsive woman. He threw the towel over his head and stepped into the shower. His body nearly collapsed as he reached behind her to turn off the water. He took a deep breath as his bare arm touched her bare skin and for the first time he felt what Alexis felt every time she hyperventilated. With the water still running his hand froze in place as she looked directly in his eyes. He swallowed hard and took a deep breath scared to death at what she might say to him. She seductively brought her hands up to his face and caressed it. His body felt the relief of her touch instantly, yet he was still finding it hard to breath. Was all this really happening or was he having one of those dreams he�s had so often of her and him but constantly pushed out of his mind. Never in a million years what happen once so many years ago could every happen again. He let go of the faucet and moved his body closer to hers as she brought her face closer to his and her lips parted. He almost forcefully over took her mouth with his own allowing their tongues to do the forbidden dance that neither one of them ever thought they�d do again. Her hands quickly found their way to his belt buckle and his to her bare extremely soft skin. The water poured down on them as he helped her help him out of his clothes so fast they nearly fall to the floor. Oh my God Sonny thought to himself this indeed wasn�t a dream. Alexis wanted him, she really wanted him. Neither one of them spoke a word other than a sexual pleasing groan here and there. Which only enhanced the pleasures they were both about to feel as she looked deep into his eyes daring him to once again become one with her. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ About a half hour later they somehow managed to make it out of the shower and into the bed. But their love making didn�t stop there as their bodies yearned for each other even more so then before. Their lovemaking in the shower seemed lost and very needed unlike the lovemaking they were entertaining under her sheets. Neither one of them had ever felt anything so strong and powerful as Sonny attacked that special spot on her neck while Alexis�s moans drove him almost to his breaking point. They wanted each other and yet still needed each other in more ways than they even understood. It was odd actually because they both felt like they have never made love to one another. But that was further from the truth and their daughter Kristina was living proof of that one magical night that they had without a doubt spent together. �Sonny.� Alexis finally spoke after all this time which warmed Sonny�s heart, but scared him still the same. �Please don�t tell me to stop Alexis.� Sonny breathlessly said as he rolled his body over on hers trembling with lust and desire . �Because at this point I don�t think I can.� �I don�t want you stop.� Alexis moaned forgetting what it was she wanted to say. �Oh god I don�t want you to ever stop.� |
