Second Chances

Chapter 11 -- Love & Understanding

Sonny placed his hands around Alexis' neck, and touched her lips ever so gently with his own lips wanting her to make the first move, so that he'd know what she wanted, and more importantly what she expected of him. Alexis separated their lips because she didn't know what to do anymore - she'd wanted to be this close to him for so long now, but she'd once before let her heart do, what her head never would have allowed her to do - to just follow the flow - to follow her heart. But that had also meant a lot of heartache. But when she looked into Sonny's brown eyes she knew that this was where she wanted to be for the rest of her life. She placed her hands behind his neck, and pulled him into a hot scorching kiss.

Sonny: "I've missed you so much baby…" He replied leaving her lips, and kissing her throat making Alexis moan

Alexis: "Me too…"

Sonny separated their lips, and looked into her eyes before lifting Alexis up in his arms in one swift motion, as Alexis threw her arms around Sonny's neck.

When they entered Alexis' bedroom, Sonny sat her down on the bed, while he sat down next to her wanting her to decide the pace. When they'd been staring into each other's eyes for some time, Sonny placed a hand behind Alexis' neck, and kissed her underneath her ear where he remembered she loved being caressed.

Alexis found the buttons in Sonny's shirt, and began unbuttoning the buttons one by one until she had them all undone, and she slid the shirt off of Sonny's body, as Sonny left Alexis' skin, and began unbuttoning her shirt too, as Alexis got out of her sandals.

Sonny sucked in his breath, as he watched what she was wearing underneath the shirt: a black bra, which showed off her generous cleavage. Sonny then continued to lower her to the bed, as their lips found each other once again, and Sonny got out of his shoes with much trouble, and amusement on Alexis' part.

Alexis: "Need some help?" She asked laughing.

Sonny: "I'm OK…" He returned with a wicked smile.

Alexis and Sonny followed each other, as they moved into the center of the bed where Sonny unbuttoned the slacks Alexis was wearing by Alexis lifting her hips so that he could get the slacks completely off of her. Alexis then unbuckled the belt Sonny was wearing before unzipping his pants, and when Sonny turned onto his back she got him to lift his hips too so that she could get the pants off of him.

Alexis now sat on top of Sonny placing her index finger on top of the scar he'd suffered from the shooting on Christmas Eve 2000 where he'd rescued her like he'd continued to do until she'd run away from him and Port Charles.

Sonny: "Go ahead - it's all right…" He replied with a velvety voice together with looking at Alexis so trustingly that she thought she was about to burst. Alexis started at his neck with her butterfly kisses, and then continued to the scar, which she bathed with kisses before licking his two nipples, as Sonny gathered her long, brown hair in his hands to hold onto something before he exploded.

Alexis looked up from her task, and grinned wickedly before bringing her index finger to Sonny's lips staring into his chocolate brown eyes, and when Sonny couldn't take it any longer he removed her index finger, and kissed her senseless before rolling her onto her back with him on top supporting his weight with his arms to avoid squishing her.

Sonny looked intensely into Alexis' eyes wanting to look at her forever, but decided to pleasure her instead. He placed his lips on her neck, and began traveling downwards with his tongue until he reached the straps of her bra, which he slid down until all he could see was a bounty waiting for him to uncover. Sonny kept on staring at her breasts frozen in place until Alexis placed her fingers on his temples, and replied in a soft voice

Alexis: "It's OK - I'm ready…"

Sonny: "I want it to be right…" He replied with teary eyes locking eyes with the woman he'd wanted for years.

Alexis: "It is - it's perfect…" She replied softly, as Sonny placed his hands behind her back, and unclasped the bra she was wearing, and ever so slowly slid if off of her breasts before he threw it onto the bedroom floor.

Suddenly Sonny buried his head in Alexis' cleavage, as Alexis took a hold of Sonny's hair letting him know that she was loving everything he was doing. Sonny's hand began traveling downwards towards Alexis' panties, which he ripped open followed by Alexis sliding Sonny's boxers off of his body by placing her fingers in the waistband of the boxers.

Sonny: "I love you…Like I've never loved anyone else in my life…" He replied, as he stroked her cheek with his index finger at which point Alexis closed her eyes being happier than she'd ever been in her entire life.

Alexis: "You have no idea of how many times I've dreamt of you saying that?"

Sonny: "And you have no idea of how many times I've dreamt of me saying that to you?" He replied as he began pumping into her followed by Alexis raking her nails down Sonny's back in an attempt to control her joy. When Alexis' body couldn't take the pleasure Sonny was giving her anymore her hand fell limply to the side, and like always Sonny was reading her body language, and he covered her mouth with his, which Alexis screamed into, while Sonny grasped her hand, and remembered how great their bodies, souls and hearts felt being together again after such a long time apart. While they continued pleasing each other the beautiful voice of Shania Twain sang "Forever And For Always".

"Forever And For Always", performed by Shania Twain

In your arms I can still feel the way you want me when you hold me
I can still hear the words you whispered when you told me
I can stay right here forever in your arms

And there ain't no way
I'm lettin' you go now
And there ain't no way
And there ain't no how
I'll never see that day…

Chorus:

'Cause I'm keeping you
Forever and for always
We will be together all of our days
Wanna wake up every
Morning to your sweet face - always

Mmmm, baby
In your heart - I can still hear
A beat for every time you kiss me
And when we're apart,
I know how much you miss me
I can feel your love for me in your heart

And there ain't no way
I'm lettin' you go now
And there ain't no way
And there ain't no how
I'll never see that day…

(Chorus)

(I wanna wake up every morning)

In your eyes - (I can still see the look of the one) I can still see the look of the one who really loves me (I can still feel the way that you want) The one who wouldn't put anything else in the world above me (I can still see love for me) I can still see love for me in your eyes (I still see the love)

And there ain't no way
I'm lettin' you go now
And there ain't no way
And there ain't no how
I'll never see that day…

(Chorus 2x)

I'm keeping you forever and for always
I'm in your arms

(Shania Twain - Up!)

A few hours later Alexis woke by the feeling of someone kissing her back, which she thought to be strange. She turned to where Sonny had been sleeping a little while ago, and noticed him gone, which could only mean that the person caressing her was Sonny.

Alexis: "What are you doing?" She asked with a smile.

Sonny: "Do you mind?" He asked looking up from his task at hand.

Alexis: "What do you think…?" She mumbled half asleep, as Sonny smiled his dimpled smile, and continued kissing her lower back before resuming his place next to Alexis.

Sonny: "How do you feel?" He asked removing a strand of hair and tucking it behind her ear.

Alexis: "I don't think that I've ever been this happy before except for when I gave birth to our two beautiful children."

Sonny: "They are beautiful Alexis, but I need to know something…"

Alexis: "What?" She asked smiling, as she stroked his cheek.

Sonny: "Why didn't you tell me? I understand about Kristina's death, but you could have told me before instead of moving out of the penthouse in an effort in getting me off the track of your pregnancy."

Alexis: "I did try telling you because at first I thought that it was the right thing to do, but then I saw Zander at the hospital after Jason had beat him up. I guess the part of me, who'd had blind folders on before got a realization about who you were, and how you lived your life. And afterwards I guess I let Jax and Ned's opinions control me. And then as you pointed out Kristina died at your and Jason's warehouse, and I focused on blaming you, instead of coming clean with my children's true paternity - and I'll forever be sorry that I didn't tell you the truth then."

Sonny: "I don't blame you anymore. Sure…I was blown away when you returned to town, and I saw our children with you, but I began to realize that you did what you thought was right at the time…"

Alexis: "Thank you…" She replied teary eyed before kissing him tenderly on the lips.

Sonny: "The day you left town was the worst day of my life." He replied with teary eyes, as Alexis put her forehead to his saying

Alexis: "Then let's consider this our second chance to make what went wrong last time right, huh? I think that you need to get to know your son and daughter, and I need to get to know the man of my dreams…"

Sonny: "DEAL!" He exclaimed placing his mouth on hers pressing her onto the bed where they continued making love all night long.
