Chapter Three

Alison dried what was left of her tears and left the bathroom head held high as she passed by Livvie and Jack who seemed to be in a deep discussion about something. She looked around the club hoping to see another friendly face but Jamal had been so busy with Imani lately that he never seemed to be around when she needed him. But she couldn't be selfish, after all Jamal had lied to Joshua to be able to keep a close eye on her. Even though things hadn't been the same between them since Rafe came into the picture they had still remained friends. Deciding the Elixer wasn't the scene she wanted to be in at the moment she quietly left, not bothering to look back at the two sitting at the bar talking.

'I hope Jack knows what he's getting into inviting her back in his life again.' Alison thought to herself as she walked down the side walk. She wasn't sure she knew where she was going, she was just following her feet. She contemplated on paying her mother a visit but the older Barrington woman had been around Chris Ramsey so much that Alison was beginning to feel like a third wheel. Without realizing it her feet had led her to Caleb's apartment. She was about to knock on the door when she stopped herself.

"What am I doing here?" She questioned herself in a soft voice and gasped as the door swung up to reveal Caleb standing before him. He looked just as he did when she left him at the park minus his shirt.

"To what do I owe this unexpected yet pleasant surprise?" Came his deep husky voice as he trailed his gaze up and down her taunt form.

"I-I don't know. I was lost in thought when I was walking and ended up here. I better leave." She said hurridly and turned to leave.

Caleb's hand shot out and grabbed her by the arm, stilling her attempt to walk away.

"But you just got here Alison, won't you come inside and visit for a while." His seductive voice was imploring and she noted the hint of a smile as he spoke to her.

Turning back around to face him she shook her head. "No I have to go, Rafe is probably waiting for me. We still have so much to plan before out wedding."

Alison had failed to notice the fact that Caleb was gently pulling her into his apartment. The sound of th door closing behind her caused her to take in a sharp breath. She felt like a caged animal waiting for a bigger animal to come and eat her up. How could she have went there, she hated this man and yet she always seemed to find herself at his doorstep.

"Ah, the blessed event. I still haven't gotten my invitation yet." He commented as he released her arm and leaned against the door, blocking her only route of escape.

"That's because you're not invited." She told him darkly as she crossed her arms over her chest.

Shrugging he gave her a lazy look as he took in her cold gaze. "Doesn't seem right, me being the last father of the bride and all or are you going to let Ramsey walk you down the aisle now? I heard he and your mother are becoming quiet the couple. It's amazing how she could go from me to him."

Alison narrowed her eyes as he spoke of her mother. "Maybe she likes Chris because he has a pulse and a heart beat." She shot at him, her nostrils flaring with anger.

The little comment about him not having a pulse or a heartbeat hurt and angered him at the same time. Reaching out he grabbed ahold of her shirt and pulled her close to him.

"You of all people should know that I have a heart beat and a pulse. Didn't you feel my pulse against you lips or my heart beat against your chest as I held you close?" He knew his voice was weaving it's magic around her, he could see her pupils become dialated as her eyes showed the desire that had been there the night they had made love.

Leaning his head down he stopped his lips a meer ince from hers. His breath played against her sking as his other hand tangled in her hair. He hadn't expected her to come to his apartment that day and he knew that he should be taking the plan he had in mind slow but having her so close to him was maddening. He had never felt this much desire eating away at him as he felt with Alison. She was everything he wasn't, pure, sweet, innocent. and even though a part of him wanted to destroy those attributes in her the other part wanted to coveted her and keep her the way she was.

It was too soon to make proclaimations of love, she would never believe him and Alison laughing him in the face as he bared his soul to her was something he could not take. She was his weakness and luckily only he knew about it. Alison thought he was playing a game with her, trying to destroy her life with Rafe but it was so much more than that to Caleb. He could care less about the Slayer and the senseless war they had raged against each other. The whole town of Port Charles could go to hell for all he cared. All he wanted was the woman infront of him.

"Caleb this is wrong, we can't do this." She whispered against his lips and his name falling from her lips was his undoing. Any restraint he had before was gone. Ignoring her protest he pulled her closer as his lips claimed hers. She took his breath away and caused his heart to skip a beat as she responded to his kiss. She might say that she loves Rafe but her kiss told him something very different.

As she came to her senses he felt her struggle against him and released her. Stepping back he put a hand to his kiss swollen lips and studied her flushed face.

"That can never happen again." She told him in a shakey voice the added, "Please left me leave."

Stepping aside he gestured towards the door. "Your 'wish' is my command." He told her placing an emphasis on the word 'wish'. He knew that everytime she heard that word she would remember the wish that Livvie and made and the night that had resulted in it. Fixing her gaze forward she stalked to the door, flung it open and walked briskly out. He watched her walk down the hall and to the elevators all the while watching the gently sway of her hips and admiring the way she carried herself.

"You'll be mine Alison, you'll see." He told her retreating back softly in a promising voice before closing the door as Alison walked into the elevator.

End of Chapter Three

Ok I know that this one was probably short but it's really late and I wanted to get this out before the morning. Thanks to everyone for their reviews again.

Robin: Glad you like it, I'm trying my best to keep in interesting by adding more characters.. although I would just love to write about Caleb and Alison alone together all the time. I just need a little be more interaction with other Port Charles characters.
