"Zander, where the hell are..." she said to silence on the other end. "Well hello to you to.." the voice replied. "Ned..is that you?"..."Yeah sweetheart...Zander missing again." Ned replied. "No he's just late, I'm sure he's gonna call shortly.." "You don't think that they are..." "No of course not, he knows that I mean business about calling...he'll call." Alexis said as she got a little more worried about his whereabouts.
"So, what did you call for..." Alexis said as she took a seat behind the desk. "Well, I wanted to know if you wanted to get some late dinner at the PC Grill tonight.." "You know I would, but I really should wait for Zander to call..." "Alexis, he's a big boy, he can take care of himself..." "Yeah I know, but I'm worried about him..he should of been back by now.." "Well, maybe he got hung up somewhere..." "Yeah, or could be dead....Sorel's men are still out there.." "Look, I'm sure he'll call or come home...soon." "So, what about dinner.." "We could eat here at the penthouse..." "What .. popcorn..?" "You love popcorn, Ned...I could whip something up or we could order take out.."
Just as she said that the door bell rang...
"Ned, someone's at my door...I'll have to call you back..." "okay..bye."
Alexis hung up the phone and opened the door...
She was relieved to see Zander standing in front of her...she didn't know whether to hug him or to strangle him..
"Where have you been..." Alexis said as she let him in... "What....I was...well, I was busy..." Zander said as he remembered he had been with Emily all day...and a smile came over his face. "Okay, I'm not gonna ask, cause I know you sure aren't gonna tell me." "Alexis, I'm fine...what are you so worried about..." Zander said as he took off his coat and walked over to the sofa to sit down.
"Can I talk to you about something..?" "Sure Zander, what's up?..." "I need to talk to you about Emily..." "Oh,...okay what about her?" Alexis said as she sat down beside him. "Well, I guess you figured it out that we have been seeing each other on the sly..huh?" "Yeah I figured as much.." "Well, then you know how close we have gotten over the last few months.." "What's your point, Zander?...popcorn?" Alexis replied as she offered Zander the bowl of popcorn that was sitting on the coffee table. "Uh, no thanks...Alexis...I..uh, I love her.." "Are you sure, are you really sure...cause love is a big thing..." "Yeah, I am sure...I need her..she has been my everything, I take every breath for her..." "Okay, what does she say about this..." "Well, that is what I was getting, ya see..we were together this afternoon and well, uh.."Zander replied as he got a little nervous talking about this with Alexis, but she was really the only person who would understand. "We talked about this, me and Emily and well, she uh, loves me too.." "So what's the problem..." "The problem is her parents...they are never in a million years gonna let me see her..." "Probably not...." "Now you can't tell anyone I told you this, Alexis...this has to stay between you and me...cause if this ever got back to her parents, I'd be sitting in jail again.." "I won't tell a soul..." "Not even Ned...cause he is sure to tell the family..and we can't have that, Alexis..I won't lose her again..." "Now why are you telling me this..." "Because I didn't want you to worry when I don't come home tonight.." he replied just waiting for the lecture about being out and in the open and how dangerous it was..so he was prepared for anything she threw at him... "Not come home tonight, but where would you go?" "Alexis, I'll be with...." "Oh, gotcha...well when will you be back..." Alexis replied as she finally got where he was going with this. "I'll be back sometime tomorrow morning...don't you want to know where I'll be staying..." "That would be good...and be sure that you are extra careful tonight..." "We're gonna be at Elizabeth's studio down on the docks...and yeah, I'll be EXTRA careful.." Zander replied with a chuckle and his smirkish grin. "Now I'm serious, Zander..Sorel's goons are still out there...it can be dangerous for you to be out there alone walking the docks.." "Oh, Alexis...I won't be doing much walking tonight..." he replied with a devilish grin...
Alexis being slow at picking these things up..looked at him kinda oddly and left his words pass right over her head.
"Well I'd better get going...Emily is waiting for me back at the studio...and before you say anything...I'll be careful..and I'll make sure her cell is on so if you need me call.." Zander replied as he got up and put his coat on. " Okay, and I would like to remind to take your keys along....cause I may not be here tomorrow morning when you do decide to come home.." "Oh, thanks for reminding me...I'll go get them..I left them on the nightstand in my room, that's why I had to knock earlier..." " And while you do that..I'm gonna call Ned back..."
As she picked up the receiver to call Ned, the door bell rang.....
"Now what..." she said in disgust and frustration... "Alexis...it's me..." "Ned?.." she replied to herself...
Alexis reached for the door knob as Zander came down the stairs...
"Who's at the door?..." Zander asked... "Ned..." "What does he want..." Alexis just shrugged as if to say I don't know... "Well, can keep him busy while I slip out, I don't want him to know that I'm going to see Emily.." "Alexis?...." Ned replied from on the other side of the door.. "Coming...now wait a sec..." "You can't let him standing out there...he's gonna get suspicious.." "I'll let him in and just tell him you are going somewhere..." "Where?...." "I don't know, make somethin' up".... "Oh, okay..I'll just make somethin' up...I'm good at doin' that..." Zander replied as he got this goofy look..."yeah right..I'll make somethin' up..."
Alexis reached for the door and turned the knob to let Ned in...he'd been standing out there waiting for her to open the door, so he was anxious to come in....
"What took you so long...I was waiting out there forever..." Ned said as he gave Alexis a kiss on the cheek. "Uh, oh I was on the phone...and ...." "Nevermind....I completely understand...work..." "Hey Ned..." Zander said as he walked towards the door. "Now remember what I said..." "Yes, I remember...and you remember what I said..." "Okay did I miss something here..." Ned asked with a puzzled look on his face. "Oh, Zander's going out...and I just wanted him to make sure he had his keys..." "Well, have a good time you two...." Zander said as he opened the door. "You be careful out there...ya hear?" "Yes, mom..." Zander said jokingly...
Zander closed the door to the penthouse and pushed the down arrow button on the elevator pad....he needed to pick some things up before heading back to the studio.
"Mom?..." Ned replied with question... "What's he talking about....I definitely missed something..." "Nothin' you didn't miss anything...ready to go to dinner..." "Now don't change the subject..." "I'm not...I'm just hungry". Alexis replied hoping that by now Zander got on the elevator and was headed to see Emily.
"Where we going...for dinner that is...?" "How bout..." "Don't you dare say Kelly's..cause you eat there more then I do since the whole staff at the Q house has been on strike...." "No, how bout the PC Grill..." "Sounds fine with me..." Ned said as he helped Alexis with her coat and they walked out the penthouse door.
************************************************************************************************
"Now where is he..." Emily thought to herself..."He's been gone a while now.."
"what else...somethin' was missing...but what?" Emily said to herself trying to think of what it needed yet...
As she stood there thinking of many thoughts, there was a knock in the door...
"Emily...it's me.." the voice said from the other side of the door. "Zander,...." She replied as the feelings of tonight rushed over her.
"Now I know what is missing..." she said as she opened the door.. "What's missing..." "You..." she said as she pulled him close to her and kissed him quickly... "Close the door..we don't want everyone to see us...now do we.." "Nah, I guess not..." She replied.
He couldn't believe that she had done all this while he was gone...
"How did you know this is what I had in mind..." he asked. "I guess we are connected that way..." she replied as she noticed he was carrying something. "Watcha got there..." "Oh this...nothin' ..it's nothin'"...Zander said as he tried to hid what he had in his hand behind him. "Aw come on...what is it?...somethin' for me?... "Well, you could say that..." Zander replied with a little chuckle. "It's for later..." "Later...why not now..." Emily said as she tried to sneek a peak at what he was hiding. "No it's for later...you will just have to wait..." "Okay, what about a hint..." "I'll give you a hint if you give me...one of these.."...as said that he grabbed her and pulled her close to him and kissed her deeply on the sweet lips that he so wanted to feel.
"Are you sure..?" he asked before they got to far and couldn't stop this whirlwind they were on.. "I'm sure, I want you to make love to me, Zander..." she replied as she raised her head to kiss him once again. "You know I love you..." "I know, and I love you too..." With that said, he felt his way down to her waist and started to unbutton her blue jeans, she stopped him...
"Let me do that..." she whispered...they can be tricky..she giggled.
He looked at her and smiled...
"Emily...I want you so bad...." "Zander, I am yours for the taking..." she whispered in his ear as he kissed her so... He followed his emotions and his thoughts as his mouth made his way down to the softest skin he has ever explored, her breasts were so...they were so what he wanted, as his mouth moved across her nipple. He knew she had felt the pleasure of him caressing her so, because of the way he could feel the motion of her body as he tenderly aroused her. She was so wrapped up in the feelings of arousal and the energy they both shared, she was hoping he didn't notice that he was doing most of the work, she just laid there taking it all in, she was feeling more pleasure then she had every felt. As he caressed her and kissed her tenderly on her skin, her hands found the small of his back knowing that this was his "spot", she had found it by accident one night and she told him that she would never forget. With one touch of her hand, he reacted in a way that she knew he was enjoying every sensual moment she spent lingering around that spot. He was certainly aroused by this time and he thought to himself about how it would be when he finally be able to be inside of her. He wanted them to become one and had found that this was the moment, he couldn't resist no longer...he wanted to be with her completely, he wanted them to become one.
As their bodies intertwined underneath the covers of the queen size bed, he had thought of nothing but her. There was no trial, no past to speak of, no running from anyone and everyone....just the two of them enjoying each other. It was so perfect. It certainly was what he had expected, passionate, tender yet so innocent for being their first time.
He moved his hand down the side of her shapely hips as the other found its way through her hair around her temple. "This is what I want.." Zander said as he moved his hand towards her inner part of her thigh. She quivered slightly as his fingertips teased her sensitive skin. "Are you okay...Emily..." "Yeah, I'm fine.." " Do you want me to stop, cause I can..." "No, please no don't stop" she said breatheless.
"Zander....this feels so right..." Emily said as she pulled herself up and sat on his waist. "It feels so right for me to Emily..."
"Uh, I think we should stop before we go to far..." "But why...we so much have enjoyed each other....why would you want to stop.." "No, no, not stop...I want you, really I do..I just thought we might want to use one of these..." Zander said as he pulled a condom from the pocket of his jeans. "Boy, you came prepared...a little presumptuous isn't it?... "Okay, maybe a little..." Zander took the little packet and tried to open it with his hands and he couldn't rip the plastic. He put the packet in between his teeth and ripped it open... "Do you need help with that?..." Emily said as she slid off to the side so he would have room to put it on. "No...eh I think I got it.." Zander replied as he seem to be struggling with getting out of the wrapper. "Here let me do that for you...I promise it won't hurt a bit..." "Okay be gentle.." "Don't worry I will..." Emily replied as she took the condom and wrapped it around and unrolled it down his shaft. "See..all better.." "Now where were we..." Zander said as he pulled Emily back towards him. "I think we were here..." she said as she leaned in to kiss him.
She straddled him once again and as their bodies met, she had the incredible urge to shift her legs to open the unexplored area. He was kinda surprised that she made the first move, but he followed her lead and moved his hand to place his hardened flesh inside of her. She let out a moan of passion as she felt him inside...two of them moving so perfectly together. Moving to the rhythm of the music that had been playing on the radio, suddenly gave them the momentum they need to reach their moment of ecstasy. Their rhythm quickened as she felt his hips start to thrust him deeper inside her, she felt every motion of him, and he felt every intense spasm in her, with one last movement of his hips, he knew that this was the moment that they would remember for a lifetime. As he peaked his moment of intensity, he was able to release what had been bottled up in side of him for such a long time. A few short thrusts of his hips, she knew that this was the moment they wanted and desired. He left out a moan as he reached his peak, and he arched his back to add a little extra push to the feeling of it.
"How do you feel?..." Zander asked breathlessly "I feel wonderful..you were wonderful..." Emily replied as she shifted her hips and what was once one, has now become two. "I didn't hurt you did I?.." "No, you didn't hurt me...it was perfect..."
It had been a few hours since she had spoken to her folks and thought she should give them a call to check in. As she crawled over top of his waist to get out of bed..he quickly grabbed her as if to keep her from leaving his side.
"Hey, where are you going?.." he said jokingly "I was going to call my parents and check in with them.." "Well I think that you should stay right here with me for a little while longer.." Zander said as he pulled her back into his arms. The tension between them had finally been broken, they were so happy to be together. Laughin' and joking like they didn't have a care in the world. There one night together had finally happened and they were just enjoying it to the fullest.
"Zander..." "Yes Emily..." "Have I told you in the last hour or so that I love you..." "No you haven't and I love you too...so much and I love you even more now..." "I love you even more now too..." "I love being here with you, to hold you so close, to feel you here with me..." "You are my life Emily...you are my every breath I take...if it wouldn't be for you, I don't know where I'd be...you have truly changed my life and I will forever love you for that..." "How sweet of you to say that, Zander.." "It's true..it is so true...my feelings for you run so deep..I love you with all of my heart, body and soul." "I know you do, and I love you...now and forever..."
