Chapter 16

"Oh my God, I'll kill you, you tramp!" Carly screamed and lunged forward to get at Alexis. Although he himself wanted to kill Sonny, Jax grabbed her and held her tightly. She flailed against him, trying to get free, all the while keeping her eyes on her now ex-husband and his attorney. Sonny was staring into Alexis' eyes, still holding her close to him. "I thought I lost you," he whispered. "Never," she whispered back; "we need to talk, alone." Sonny nodded his head; he was eager to hear what she had to say. "Let's go," he moved his arm to circle her waist and started guiding her out of the room. It was then he noticed that everyone was staring at them. Looking around, he stated, "don't all thank me at once now," and shook his head in disbelief that after saving all these people's butts all they could do was stare at him. "Thanks Man!" Luke shouted, saluting his friend with a hand to the forehead. "Sonny!" Carly cried, as he guided Alexis past her. He ignored her. "Alexis," Jax spoke up over Carly's head, "don't do this. You don't know what you're doing." Alexis looked at him and smiled. "Wrong Jax. For the first time in my life I know exactly what I'm doing. Bye." Sonny smiled widely at her words, and they left the room, just as the police were arriving. "Sonny, where are you going?" Mac asked. "I need to find out what happened here." "There are about a hundred people in there that can tell you," Sonny replied, "you don't need me, or Alexis at the moment. Johnny!" Johnny came running out of the room at the sound of his boss' voice and walked with them away from the lab.

Once outside and at the limousine, Johnny turned to Alexis. "Ms. Davis, please forgive me for what happened." Alexis smiled at him, "Johnny, it wasn't your fault. You were out numbered." Johnny stifled the urge to say "see" to Sonny, and instead said "thank you," and held the door open for them to get in the car. Once inside Alexis took a deep breath, "Sonny, there's so much  I need to tell you." Sonny nodded his head, "I know, me too. But it can wait a little longer...come here." The last two words came out like a growl as he took her face in his hands. This time, he kissed her more forcefully, and Alexis felt herself slipping totally under his control. For once, she had decided to give in to what she really wanted, and that was Sonny. Somehow, she trusted him totally and knew her heart would be safe with him. She moaned loudly and melted against him. Sonny was pleased, and encouraged, but didn't want to consummate their relationship in the back seat of the limousine. He released her mouth and her face and hit the intercom button. "Johnny, get us to the penthouse in five minutes and there's a big bonus in it for you." Alexis laughed, "anxious much?" "Oh yeah," Sonny replied, staring at her again. "I'm real anxious. I've wondered for so long what it would be like to hold you, to kiss you, to feel your naked body beneath mine, moving together..." "Oh God Sonny, stop it!" "Why? Isn't that what you want?" Sonny asked, concerned that he read her all wrong. She touched his face, his mouth..."oh it's what I want all right. But if you keep talking like that, we'll never make it to the penthouse."

Once at the penthouse, Alexis and Sonny were both unsure as to what to do next. Sonny wanted to take her to bed and show her how important she was to him. He was always so much better at expressing himself physically than verbally. Alexis wanted to talk, to tell him how she'd fallen so deeply in love with him she didn't know if she could handle it, but that she wanted to try. Sonny decided to take charge of the situation, as he was wont to do, and took her in his arms again. "I know we need to talk about things, but what I want now is to take you to my bed and show you how I feel about you." Alexis momentarily forgot how to breathe, but managed to nod her head in agreement. Sonny beamed, "great. Come on." He took her by the hand and led her up the stairs. He didn't hesitate or think twice about returning with Alexis to the bed he shared with Carly; he didn't even remember that he hadn't slept there himself since he threw Carly out. All he thought about was how this was the rightist thing he'd ever done. With Brenda, he hid so much of himself from her they were doomed from the start. With Lily, his inability to love her resulted in her death. With Carly, he knew what she was all about the night he impregnated her with his child. If he had listened to his head, he never would have married her, twice. So many wrong choices, so many losses: two women he truly loved, two children he never knew. But now, here was the woman he knew he'd been waiting for. A woman that knew everything important about him, public and private, but wanted him anyway. A woman who had her own life and career, and didn't want or expect him to fill their every need and whim. A woman he could love as an equal, as a friend, as a companion.

"I want to see you Alexis, all of you," he whispered, aching to possess her body. Alexis silently began taking off her clothes and stood before him in her bra and panties. "God you're so beautiful," Sonny groaned. She truly was. She wasn't a girl or a young woman in that temporary state of "bodily perfection" that never lasted. She was a woman his age, a woman who'd lived and experience many things, who was more beautiful now than she'd probably ever been. Alexis felt self-conscious under his intense stare, but was not afraid of disappointing him. With Sonny, she didn't feel like she had to try to be anything that she wasn't. He knew her better than anyone, and wanted her just the way she was. Sonny took off his suit coat and tossed it aside. Then he unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, something she'd seen him do so many times, and stepped over to her. "Please take it off," Alexis whispered, wanting desperately to touch his smooth skin. Sonny smiled and removed his shirt entirely. Alexis put her hands on his chest and his warmth immediately permeated them. She moved slowly over his pectorals and thought she'd orgasm right then and there. Sonny relished the feeling of her hands and watched her shaking with desire as she touched him. He couldn't wait another minute to have her. He fell to his knees, and guided her panties down to her ankles. She quickly stepped out of them, and then took her bra off as well. Sonny urged her to widen her stance with his hands, and Alexis grabbed his shoulders for support. She knew what he was about to do and vowed to give herself up totally to him. But nothing could have prepared her for the feeling of his mouth on her, nor the sight of Sonny Corinthos on his knees paying homage to her. "Oh Sonny!" she moaned as his tongue entered her. He reached behind her and held her rear end to steady her and to pull her even closer. Then, he moved his tongue to the spot he knew would send her flying and began to work his magic. Moments later, she cried out and dug her nails into his shoulders as she careened off the highest cliff imaginable. Panting heavily, she almost collapsed, but Sonny quickly stood and caught her. He picked her up and carried her to the bed, where he gently placed her down. Ridding himself of the rest of his clothes, he laid down next to her and waiting for her to recover. Finally, her eyes fluttered open and she saw him looking down at her, propped up on one elbow. "Are you all right?" he asked teasingly. Alexis gave him a brief smile and joked, "who am I?" Sonny laughed, but then got immediately serious. "You're the woman I'm making love to; the woman I want to make love to for the rest of my life." Alexis reached out to pull him closer and kissed him. Sonny climbed on top of her, and kissed her back, his tongue exploring the sweetness of her mouth. She could taste herself on his lips. He moved his head down to her neck and began feasting there. "Oh Sonny," she whispered, "you're so hot. You make me so hot." Sonny didn't respond except to move further down to her breasts, which he took in his hands, supporting himself on his knees bent on either side of her body. He lovingly suckled on her nipples, taking care to give each equal attention, and Alexis arched her back with every movement of his mouth. "Sonny, I want you inside of me. Make love to me. Make me yours," she pleaded. Sonny moved his head back up to hers, "are you sure?" Alexis nodded, "aren't you?" "Oh absolutely. But this isn't a one-time thing Alexis. This is the start of a whole new life for us, you know that right?" "I know," she replied, snaking her hand through the hair at the back of his head. "It's going to be hard Sonny, for both of us, but it's what I want, more than I've ever wanted anything in my life." 

Sonny needed no more assurances and guided himself into her. She gasped at the feeling of him filling her up. He started moving slowly and deeply, kissing her the entire time. Alexis started to cry from the sheer joy of how good he felt. He kissed her tears, and asked, "why are you crying? Am I hurting you?" afraid that he was. "No, you're not hurting me Sonny. I've never known anything like this. It's like...a revelation. I feel like I'm being re-born." Sonny smiled, "for me too sweetheart. But baby, I haven't even gotten started." "Oh no, now I'm scared," Alexis replied, half-joking, half-serious. "Shhh," Sonny said, and returned to concentrating on giving his new lady more pleasure than she'd ever known before. He began moving slightly faster, and Alexis started building quickly towards an ecstatic release. Totally in tune to her, he could tell when she was on the brink, and increased the frequency and strength of his thrusts. Alexis' moans increased as well, in volume, until she exploded beneath him. "Oh I love you Sonny!" On the edge himself, Sonny continued his strong movements, which served to turn her orgasm into a string of them. Finally, he felt the blood rush from his head and everything went black, except for the stars exploding in front of his eyes. He groaned loudly as he emptied himself into her. When he was able to speak he whispered in her ear, "Alexis, I love you too."
