The door slammed behind them, the loud thud echoing in the darkness of the hotel room. Her body hit his as he pushed her gently against the wall, his lips tracing kisses from her lips, to her jaw line and down to her neck. He bit feverously at the skin that lay exposed before him, moaning before he devoured her, causing her breath to become even more accelerated before a moan escaped her own lips.

"Alan..." she trailed off, breathlessly.

His blue eyes found her own emerald orbs, a look of concern etched across his features. His hand trailed slowly up her body as his thumb trailed across her swollen, bottom lip before tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. He cocked his head to the side slightly, a smile slowly forming as his lips found hers once again, softly this time, as if the gesture said more than any words he could form ever would.

"Alan..." she whispered once more against his lips.

He pulled away from her once more, his brows furrowed as he pressed against her gently, his hand leaning against the wall as if to pin her there underneath him. She smiled this time, her fingers tracing the buttons of his dress shirt as she pulled gently, causing the fabric to become untucked from his dress pants. He eyed her fingers before he chuckled and his eye found hers once more.

She didn't let him take control any longer, as she completely undid the remaining remnants of his shirt from his waistband and began undoing the buttons from his collar. He slowly eyed her movements, as her fingers continued to unbutton his dress shirt down to the last few that were still hooked. She smiled eagerly before pulling with swift motion causing his shirt to not only become completely undone, but lay open exposing his entire torso.

AJ adjusted slightly, slightly uneasy at her next movements. He didn't dare break her from where she was going, not only curious but excited to see what her next move would be. She tore the remainder of the shirt from his shoulders, easing the fabric to the floor below. Without missing a beat, she grabbed at the hem of his pants and had them undone and around his ankles in no time. He breathed in deeply, as she flicked her tongue and sucked at his neck, almost claiming him as her own. This time it was her name that escaped her lips.

"April..." he said breathlessly.

She smiled to herself before he lips found his and she claimed him again. She didn't let it go any further or allow him to take control before her lips trailed down his chest to the hardness of his abs, coming to rest at the top of his boxers. She felt him inhale once more, before she dropped his boxers to rest by his pants. She smiled to herself once more before taking him into her mouth, causing him to suck more air in and releasing a primal moan in the darkness.

She felt him tighten his grip inside her as his hands wrapped within her hair, pulling gently. She continued the brisk motion she had set, never wanting to fasten the pace and not wanting the night to end, either. She looked up at him, his eyes catching hers briefly. A new fire burned within him, almost knocking her off kilter seeing a new side of him she had never saw before.

He tugged at her hair again as he smirked down at her, causing her to stop briefly.

"Are you done yet?" he asked, yanking at her hair forcing her to stand upright to face him.

She opened her mouth to speak but instead his mouth met hers only allowing her to release a moan. Instead of every other kiss they had ever shared, this kiss was definitely different. It claimed her in ways she hadn't been claimed before. It made her officially his, also letting her know he wanted her in ways he hadn't had her before. In ways he didn't want any other woman. Just her.

His hands fished to the zipper that lay at the middle of her back as he flicked his fingers and before she realized it, her dress was in a heap at her feet matching his own clothes. His hands grasped at her behind, picking her up before he found his way to the edge of the bed and easing them downward.

"Please..." she whispered against his ear, only causing him more vigor to take her right there and then.

"I'm going to, sugar. Your mine all night long." he assured, claiming her lips again as his fingers snaked around her, releasing her bra and throwing it to the floor.

He eased himself upwards, not wanting to miss the sight of her nude form beneath him. He flipped his fingers on the inside of her panties before easing them down her legs to the floor meeting the remainder of the fabric that was already there.

He smiled as he looked down at the naked body before him, not sure of where he wanted to start first. He settled on the valley beneath her breasts before she brought his mouth up to meet his.

"Just kiss me." she said breathlessly.

He didn't let her beg much longer as he met her request at the same time, he entered her. He wanted to make love to her, but as much as he tried to fight against everything, he just wanted her to be his finally.

"April..." he moaned.

"Alan, I love you." he felt her quiver beneath him, bringing her lips to meet his once more.

He was taken aback by what she had said, but not completely shocked by her admission. It was something he had been battling within him. It was something he had planned on saying at some time in the future. But it was something he had admitted to himself he had already been feeling.

Maybe not sharing yet. But he had already admitted to himself he had fallen head over heels for her. Instead of fighting and before anything else could take over and force him to say, he went with the first feeling he had felt from the get go.

"I love you, too April." he admitted whole-heartedly before he felt his release coming strong.

Not much else needed to be said as their euphoria wrapped around them, washing over them and claiming them to each other. He admitted how he felt, as she had to him. He wasn't sure what more could or would take place, but he was sure he wouldn't fight anything else from this place forward because he was sure without a shadow of a doubt, she was absolutely all he needed in his life.
