A/N This is a very quick sweet little scene written for my dear friend Joanie. No elves were harmed in the making of this story. That's for another time. ;)
(Forgive any mistakes, I wrote and posted it very quickly)
"How about I take this suit off of you?" Sonny is standing in our bedroom with a Santa suit, hat and beard on.
"What, you don't think I'm sexy in this?" Sonny replies with a grin moving closer to me for a kiss.
I gently push him away. "No, not sexy."
Sonny tries to grab me and we fall to the bed play fighting. "Oh come on, babe, you know you want me. You know you love me."
I'm laughing so hard I can't catch my breath. "Stop, stop, no, no. Sonny!"
He's tickling me now, which of course he knows exactly where my weak spot is.
"Ok Kiriakis, you're dead." I maneuver to gain the upper hand and turn Sonny over onto his back with my hands gently pinning his wrists. With a huge smile and his beautiful brown eyes twinkling with laughter, I can't help but be drawn in. I kiss him softly and then more deeply. I love every thing about this man.
We're both breathless when I end the kiss. Our foreheads are touching as I try to catch my breath.
Almost as soft as I whisper, I say, "You're amazing."
I pull back to look at him and he shrugs as if to deflect the compliment.
"Sonny, you took the time to make Ari's Christmas so magical! She loved it. Having Santa visit her on Christmas eve and giving her the one gift she's been asking for, she was over joyed. I didn't think she would ever go to sleep."
"You know I would do anything for her. I love her so much Will."
"I know you do. It's what I love about you. Seeing you with her makes me melt." I gently kiss him again.
"Now let's get you undressed so I can have my husband back."
"What if I grow a white beard when I'm old. Will you still love me?" He's joking but I can see he's curious to know if I will love him even when he isn't young.
I sit up pulling him with me. I put my fingers under his chin to make him look directly at me. "Sonny, I will love you always. No matter if your hair is grey or you go bald. Ok?"
"Ok."
We both help him get out of the suit and then me out of my button down shirt and jeans. Naked, we stand facing each other. We touch each other with gentle caresses. I wrap my arms around him bringing him tightly against me just wanting to feel the length of him. Sometimes I think I wish I could be closer to him. I love him so much that he is as vital to my life as the air is to my lungs and the blood in my veins.
We make love that night, silently without words. Our bodies entwined like one moving creature. I'm enraptured in his love for me, and him in mine.
We lay satiated our bodies warm with a damp layer of sweat glistening our skin. It feels like we've been making love for what seems like hours. But time has slowed in our little bubble and it's just after midnight.
Sonny finds my hand and slides his fingers between mine.
"Merry Christmas, Will."
"Merry Christmas, Sonny."
