She knew it was coming from the moment he looked at her with that sultry look in his deep blue eyes. Her mouth went dry and she backed up slowly.

"No, Lorenzo…we can't. We can't…Sonny…baby…"

He took slow but sure steps as he approached her, licking his lips.

"I don't think it will hurt your baby if we just kiss, will it?" he replied, placing his hand on her belly, still keeping eye contact.

Carly looked away, trying to break the heat between them. She wanted it, both of them did but there was one small problem and that was her husband who was waiting at home for her.

"Lorenzo…I can't do this to Sonny…he trusts me."

"Carly…you know as well as I do that he doesn't love you. He just controls you, uses you…I'm in love with you Carly and I won't let you get away when I know what we have doesn't come around every day."

Carly bit her lip, refusing to stare into his eyes. They were like lighthouses, calling her home. She fidgeted, unsure of how to reply.

"Lo-"

It came quick and fast, rushing down up her like a waterfall. His soft lips met hers in a hot kiss. Her hands snaked around his neck almost of their own accord and his arms went around her tiny waist, pulling her closer to him. Carly gasped against his lips and their mouths opened together, their tongues dancing together. In her mind, Carly knew what she was doing was wrong, but it felt so right and so good. She wanted the kiss to go on forever. Carly and Lorenzo pulled away reluctantly, gasping for oxygen. Lorenzo had an almost drunken and triumphant look on his face, his eyes alive with hunger. Carly touched her lips gingerly and looked at Lorenzo, hardly believing what had just occurred.

"Wow." She managed to get out.

Lorenzo smiled.

"Thank you."

Carly stood up quickly and looked at Lorenzo.

"Wait, we didn't just kiss, did we?"

Lorenzo stood up with a sigh.

"Actually, I believe we did. It was quite nice in fact and you seemed to enjoy it yourself."

Carly looked at Lorenzo sadly and began to cry.

"Yes, that's the problem. I did enjoy it and now I'm going to have to go home to Sonny."

Lorenzo pulled Carly into his arms and allowed to her to cry as long as she needed to. He whispered soft, comforting words in Spanish and kissed away the tears as soon as they fell. After a couple of minutes, Carly pulled away and looked into Lorenzo's eyes.

"I have a proposition. I'm going to feel like a tramp asking you to do this for me, but it's the only solution I have to my problem."

"Don't ever call yourself a tramp, Carly. You never were and you never will be. Don't let Sonny tell you otherwise."

Carly smiled and wiped away a stray tear as she continued on.

"All I want with you is one night to make love to you. I want to show you how much I love and care for you. After that, I need to stay with Sonny and we need to go our separate ways. We can't be together Lorenzo, not in this life at least. I can't break my kids' hearts by leaving their daddy; it's not fair to them. At the same time, I can't go through life without having known how it feels to make love to you. So, will you do it?"

Lorenzo had expected this was coming as he knew Carly almost as well as he knew himself. He simply nodded his agreement and pulled Carly into another tender kiss and led her to the bedroom to show his soul mate just how much he cherished her.

The Next Morning…

Lorenzo awoke the next morning around dawn. Carly was sleeping on his chest, her blond hair splayed about his stomach. He watched her as she slept and pulled her closer to him. He closed his eyes, hoping to dream of a life with a blond haired beauty and her children. Just before he drifted off to sleep, Lorenzo heard a soft "I love you, Lorenzo Alcazar" and he replied "I love you too, Caroline Corinthos."


So how was it? Good/Bad? I'm kind of proud of it, but I'd love to hear everyone else's comments. You can just fill in the blanks on the love scene, I usually don't write those!
