Chapter 6 -- NC 17

Sonny was true to his word. But even at his gentlest, he was driving Kristina mad with passion. He still teased her mercilessly for what seemed like hours, before entering into her. He held her hands above her head and thrust into her slowly and deeply. Kristina cried out with every movement, begging him to go faster, harder...anything to bring her to her release. "Shhhh, I'm being gentle remember," Sonny whispered in her ear, before capturing her mouth in a deep kiss. Kristina wrapped her legs around his waist and struggled to get her hands free. "Please, I want to touch you!" she yelled. "Behave!" he yelled back. Eager to reach orgasm himself, he started moving faster. "Oh yes, thank you!" Kristina moaned. Sonny released her arms and she immediately reached down and grabbed his ass. She pushed at him, trying to get him to go deeper. "So much for gentle," Sonny commented, and started driving into her like a man possessed. Kristina started screaming, and didn't stop until Sonny exploded inside of her. Even then, she kept shaking from the after-effects of her climax. Sonny kissed her deeply and looked into her eyes; "tomorrow night, same time."

The next morning...

"Zander Smith's here," Adam announced. "Send him in," Sonny replied. "Sonny, I need to talk to you." "Obviously, since you're here. What's going on?" "You're not going to like this," Zander began. "Oh great, what did Carly do now?" Sonny responded, exasperated. Zander got upset, "she didn't do anything. Maybe you shouldn't always think the worst about her." Sonny narrowed his eyes, "did you just tell me what to do?" The tone of his voice sent shivers down Zander's spine; something was different about him. He quickly backtracked, "uh, no. Sorry if it sounded that way." "What do you need to tell me Zander?" "Jax offered me five million dollars to give him information to get you arrested." Sonny shook his head, "unbelievable. I assume you turned him down since you're telling me about it." Zander shifted uncomfortably, hoping he'd made the right decision. "Not exactly. I accepted the deal. I figured I could string him along and buy you time to see if he'd gotten to anyone else." Sonny thought a moment, then replied, "good thinking. You'll get a bonus for this; it's not going to be five million dollars, but..." Zander put his hand up, "that's OK. You don't need to give me a bonus, you pay me really well. I'm glad to do this for you." Sonny extended his hand, "well thanks." Zander shook it, but then opened his mouth and inserted his foot, "there is one other thing I wanted to discuss with you." "Oh yeah, what's that?" "Carly. Are you two really over?"

Down on the docks, Jax was getting a rude awakening. "Why hasn't that building been torn down?" he asked his foreman, pointing at Sonny's warehouse. "The order was revoked," the man told him, handing him a piece of paper. Jax read it, then crushed it in his hand. "Damn him!" He then looked around; "why has worked stopped on the rest of the project?" "Well Mr. Jax, we've run into some major problems." The foreman went on to explain that, according to a structural engineer, the pier couldn't handle the weight of Jax's planned development. "He's gone to the planning board, but doesn't think we have a prayer of getting a variance. They're not going to risk the whole area sinking into the water." "I've got millions of dollars invested in this thing!" Jax yelled. "We have to go forward!" The foreman shook his head, "well, I'm not doing anything without the right permits." "Or without the permission of Sonny Corinthos," he thought.

"What did you just ask me?" Sonny was incredulous; did Zander just ask him about Carly? "Uh, I was just...it's just that..." Zander worked up all his courage, and looked his boss right in the eyes. "Are you and Carly really over. Is she free?" "Free? For what? You?" Zander nodded his head. Sonny laughed, "you're asking me if it's OK for you to put the moves on my wife?" "Ex-wife," Zander commented. Sonny glared at him, then replied, "Carly's personal life is none of my concern. As long as what she does doesn't affect my son. But, I gotta tell you, if you think she's going to fall in love with you, you're dreaming my friend." Zander winced; "why? Why couldn't she?" Sonny smiled, "because, she's always going to love me, even if we're not together. And frankly, once you've had the best..." Zander felt like he'd been slapped. Sonny was telling him he'd never measure up, and he knew it was true. Why would Carly fall for him once she'd been with Sonny Corinthos? The man had more power and style than Zander could ever hope to. "You're probably right. She probably won't even look at me twice," he mumbled. "But hey," Sonny said, "give it your best shot. You have my word, I won't get upset with you." Zander nodded his head, and went to leave. He felt about two feet tall. "Oh, and Zander..." Sonny added; "be sure to keep Jax on a long string." Zander nodded again, and left. Sonny let out a deep breath. If he was truthful, he'd have told Zander that he'd rip him apart if he touched Carly. It was a matter of pride; he couldn't have one of his employees making time with his ex-wife. But, Sonny was confident that Carly wouldn't want to be with Zander. How could she, when it was Sonny who haunted her dreams?
