The Power of Love

Chapter 13 -- The Endless Night

Standing in front of their bed, Sonny sat down on the bed first before softly pulling Alexis’ body with him. Alexis hurriedly slipped out of her sandals before following Sonny onto the bed. As Alexis climbed Sonny’s body, Sonny placed himself on his back, while Alexis sat right on top of his stomach. Alexis then proceeded to unbutton each button on the shirt that Sonny was wearing before removing it. Sonny moved his fingers to Alexis’ hair where he removed the silver barrette that was holding her hair so that all of her locks fell down her face, which was Sonny’s favorite hair due for Alexis to have. Sonny’s hands moved to Alexis’ jaw before lifting his head so that their lips met in a passionate kiss. Alexis let all of her guards down, and followed him down onto the madras where their legs were entwined with each other, and Sonny rolled them over so that Alexis was underneath him. Sonny supported his weight with his arms so that he wouldn’t crush Alexis or their baby. He caressed her face, as he took a few hair locks and tucked them behind her left ear, and then just stared at the woman beneath him in amazement.

Alexis: “What are you doing?” She asked self-conscious.

Sonny: “Just looking at the most beautiful woman in the world, who’s just agreed to become my wife…” He replied with such a soft voice that it almost made Alexis cry.

Alexis: “I love you…” She replied before Sonny crushed his lips against Alexis’ that proved that Sonny was finally honest in connection with his feelings for this amazing woman.

Sonny’s lips traveled from Alexis’ lips, to her neck where Sonny made a trail of tender kisses until he reached her cleavage where he returned to her lips for one more tender kiss before lowering the straps of the dress Alexis was wearing.

Sonny: “I love you…” He replied before burying his head in Alexis’ cleavage when he’d lowered the dress to Alexis’ waist. As Sonny was kissing and licking her breasts, Alexis lifted her hips, and threw the dress onto the floor with the assistance of her legs.

Alexis: “Sonny! Oh my God! SONNY!!” She moaned out of ecstasy grabbing onto Sonny’s hair, as Sonny kept on pleasing her breasts knowing that this was what she loved for him to do to her.

Sonny continued to kiss her breasts, as Alexis’ hands traveled down to the waistband of the pants Sonny was wearing. Alexis unbuckled the belt before unzipping the fly – at the same time as Sonny was kissing Alexis’ body he got out of his pants, shorts, socks and shoes.

Sonny rolled onto his back with Alexis on his stomach readying herself for their bodies to become one as intended. Alexis repeated the actions that Sonny had done to her by kissing his face and chest before lowering her lips to his allowing Sonny to enter her at any time.

Sonny: “You sure?” He gasped, as Alexis was kissing him around the lips.

Alexis: “Absolutely…” She replied, as all of their dreams came true, as Sonny entered Alexis bringing on the climax they’d both craved. Sonny and Alexis continued to make love as Westlife performed “We Are One” on the stereo.

“We Are One” performed by Westlife

Two very different people
Too scared to get along
Till two hearts beat together
Underneath one sun
One very special moment
Can turn a destiny
And what some would say
Could never change
Has changed for you and me

Chorus:

‘Cause its all, its all in the way you
Look through your eyes
And when all is said and done
All of the fear and all of the lies are
Not hard to overcome
It’s all in the way you look at it
That makes you strong
We were two (we were two)
Now we are one

We are two very different people
So much to overcome
So why care for one another
When there’s so much to be done
‘Cause sometimes it’s necessary
Just look how far we’ve come
You could say my friend that
It’s the end
Or a new tale has begun


(Chorus)

And one moment in time
Is all the time we need
Just to make a difference
To make it better for you and me
If you just believe

Oh yeah
Just open your eyes

(Chorus)

Oh yeah, oh yeah
We were two
Now we are one

(Westlife – Westlife)

Sonny: “You OK?” He asked, as they were lying breathless entwined in their bed.

Alexis: “I’ve never felt better!” She exclaimed looking into Sonny’s eyes, which showed that he felt the exact same way.

Sonny: “The baby’s OK too?”

Alexis: “Most definitely…” She replied taking his hand and placing it on top of her stomach just in time for the baby’s first kick.

The next morning Sonny woke up first, and got up on one elbow to watch his beautiful future wife sleep. He was still amazed of how innocent she slept in his arms. He couldn’t help but think back to the first morning they’d been together in the bed.

*** FLASHBACK ***

Sonny: “You leaving the scene of the crime? Where you going?”

Alexis: “I thought maybe home.”

Sonny: “Why?”

Alexis: “Well, I live there. I know that you're a private person and, you know, I'm a private person and of course I'm used to, you know, waking up in my own bed at…At least I think you are. And you know, last night was…Last night was last night and this morning is this morning and…And…Why are you looking at me like that?”

Sonny: “What, now, I can't look at you?”

Alexis: “Is there anything in particular you're looking at?”

Sonny: “Yeah, you got something stuck in…”

Alexis: “Oh God.”

Sonny: “No, no, no. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Actually, I was staring at your…At your mouth.”

Alexis: “My mouth?”

Sonny: “Yeah. I don't know why. It just was something…Let me see. Come here. I…Ahem. I always knew that when I got you out of those attorney clothes, you'd be a revelation.”

Alexis: “Are you trying…Trying to embarrass me?”

Sonny: “No. You…You are a fascinating woman, Alexis, multi-layered. And to show you how much I appreciate that, I’m going to go downstairs and make you the best breakfast you ever had in your life – unless you got somewhere else to go?”

Alexis: “I'm OK. I'm fine.”

Sonny: “All right.”

*** FLASHBACK ***

Sonny smirked with his sexy dimples at the memory of Alexis after their first night together.

Alexis: “What are you showing those dimples for?” She asked eying him suspiciously.

Sonny: “Good morning darling – have you slept well?” He asked not wanting to get into the topic of his smirking.

Alexis: “You were really gone there for a few minutes!”

Sonny: “I know…” He replied before capturing Alexis’ lips in a passionate kiss.

Alexis: “Where were you before?”

Sonny: “I was just thinking about the morning after our first time together, and how embarrassed you were.”

Alexis: “I wouldn’t have been that embarrassed if you had just minded your manners!”

Sonny: “Whatever do you mean, Ms. Davis?” He joked, as they both returned to the moment when they’d been at the dining table in the livingroom having breakfast that morning.

*** FLASHBACK ***

Alexis: “Breakfast. We've never done this before.”
Sonny: “Sure we have.”

Alexis: “Not undressed. So what's the protocol?”

Sonny: “Well, simple. You know? You sit down, right?”

Alexis: “OK.”

Sonny: “OK.”

Alexis: “Yep.”

Sonny: “I'll get the food, and we eat.”

Alexis: “I can do that.”

Sonny: “You like me, don't you?”

Alexis: “I…Tolerate you.”

Sonny: “Right. That's not what you said last night.”

Alexis: “Could you please show a little respect?”

Sonny: “Well, I actually respect you more now than I ever have.”

Alexis: “OK. That's not funny. I…I know…Oh, my God. That is so good. Oh, sheer heaven.”

Sonny: “You make a chef's heart proud.”

Alexis: “You know, I don't know how you do this. I mean, whenever I try to cook…I mean, I know you know because you've been a victim of my cooking, but I just don't get it. I don't get how you time everything all at once. You know, I just do things in the kitchen and it just, you know, it just burns. Why do you keep staring at me?”

Sonny: “Do you have to, like, analyze everything?”

Alexis: “Yes. Mmm.”

Sonny: “That's a turn-on right there. There's nothing, you know, that's sexier than a woman biting on a strawberry.”

*** FLASHBACK ***

Sonny: “What?!” He asked knowing exactly what he’d done that morning to embarrass Alexis.

Alexis: “You’re impossible!” She exclaimed, as they continued to snuggle in bed.
