"You're gorgeous when you smirk."

"I don't smirk. I smile."

"You're smirking now.

"Am I?" Brenda's eyes sparked. "You must be rubbing off on me, Señor Alcazar."

Luis growled lightly, murmuring a few passionate words in his native tongue before capturing Brenda's mouth with his own.

She murmurred and moaned, pushing her body closer to him. Her arms wrapped around his neck, then slid down. She clawed at his neck, her nails biting into his skin. Luis growled and squeezed her waist. Brenda jumped up and her legs wrapped around him. He stumbled backwards until he was pinned on the wall, then stumbled forward.

There was a time when Brenda would look back on the four years that she'd spent with Luis, after her near-death at the hands of her psychotic mother, when she would think that this was all that their relationship had been. Sex, wild and passionate, exhilerating and extremely good… but it was just sex, all the same, and that couldn't have possibly been anything to base a relationship off of.

Now, though, she looked at it differently. They didn't have to have sex all the time, and on more than one occasion, they'd gone days without getting down to the nitty gritty. Luis pulled emotion from her, emotion that most would construe as sexual energy, but it was more than that. It was a ferocity that she'd been told time and again that she needed to gain but had never had the chance. She found it somewhat funny that the main people who'd told her she needed to be stronger would be the ones who disapproved of how she got it.

A throat cleared behind them, and they ignored it. Neither Brenda nor Luis really gave much of a damn who had a problem with their public displays of affection. As long as they stayed clothed, they weren't breaking any laws. Besides, most people just moved along, anyway, easing past the two. This time, however, the intruder didn't feel it necessary to move along. In fact, a shadow hovered just out of their distance, close enough for Brenda to feel an aura's pressure on her back.

Luis looked past her and smirked. "Oh, that's nice," he said, his grin widening. He looked up at Brenda, then motioned his head behind her. "Looks like we've got company."

"Oh?" Brenda tightened her legs around his waist, sure to stay up, then twisted around. "Well, what do we have here? Another Mrs. Jacks." Brenda smirked then looked down at Luis. She could actually feel her lips curving up evilly and realized that she had been right moments before. Luis was definitely rubbing off on her. She winked at him and said, "Do you think he's gonna dump this one, too, just because I'm in town?"

Courtney and Jasper Jacks looked at her in shock… and Brenda loved it. She'd been well aware of the effect she'd had on both of them. She was almost positive that her time with Jason Morgan was the reason that Courtney had never been able to get him back. The fact that Jason was currently dating a diminuitive spitfire that looked and acted quite a bit like Brenda almost made her laugh. There wasn't anything malicious in the sentiment, though. Not towards Jason, anyway. She had told him that out of everyone she knew, he most deserved happiness, and she'd meant it. Thankfully, he'd found that happiness, and it was not with the white blonde Karate Kid standing in front of her.

And Jasper Jacks… It had taken Brenda quite a while to come to terms with just exactly who this man truly was. It was as though sometime on the plane, her eyes opened up and she could see Jax for everything he was, everything that people told her that Sonny was and that Jax was not. He was a user. He'd thrown women away just easily as Sonny, had even left his own wife after their wedding just because she was in town. And then, without any chance for explanation, any confrontation, he left her at the altar, embarrassing Brenda in front of her friends. White knight, indeed, she thought, looking at him. Just the thought of his white knight façade made her want to spit on him.

"I told Carly that you would break her hurt." Courtney glared past Brenda, outrage all over her heavy features. "I told her that you weren't any good, and you've just proven me right. Thanks, Alcazar. I finally have something to thank you for."

Brenda laughed and leaned her head down to touch Luis's forehead. She rose up and he smirked. His eyes were alight with the humor that Brenda expressed openly. "You think this is Lorenzo!" Brenda barked a laugh. Luis's arms tightened around her as she started to slide and she jumped back up into position. "Oh, Courtney, you're more stupid than I thought. Don't you know one Alcazar from another?"

"But…" Courtney blinked, shaking her head. "That has to be Lorenzo Alcazar. Luis is…"

"He's dead," Jax said softly. He spoke about Luis, but his eyes were all for Brenda. No matter what he'd said when she left, just looking at him, Brenda knew that he loved her more than he would admit. If she gave him the chance, she thought he would leave Courtney within a week, tops. "Alexis killed Luis Alcazar."

"Ah, what is that Twain said?" Luis smirked. "Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated. Though, now that you mention Lorenzo, I suppose I should let him know that I'm in town, huh?" Luis held Brenda with one hand and used the other to bring her head down for a hard kiss. He let her go abruptly, then returned his attention to Jax. "And don't worry. I am a generous enough man to forgive Ms. Davis…"

"It's Mrs. Lansing now, baby."

"Ah. Si, Si… Thank you, mi corazon." Luis grinned. "I forgive Mrs. Lansing for shoving me off a balcony and then nearly letting an innocent woman… Your ex-wife, I believe… go to jail. She was very good, by the way, but of course, I'm sure you knew that. But that's beside the point. The point here…" He paused. "Brenda, what is the point?"

"The point? Um… lemme think." She pursed her lips, then rose her hand, imitating a light bulb coming on. "Ah, yes! The point is that I've convinced Luis that there's no need to go after Alexis for his death, because he was a bad boy, and he did deserve some of what he got. Besides, with the death of his own dear daughter, he understands the pain she went through, don't you, dear?"

"That I do. So, don't worry. Of your many exes, Alexis Lansing is definitely one that you don't have to worry about." She tapped Luis on the cheek, then loosened her legs. With a groan and something near a pout, Luis let her slide down until she landed on her feet. "What are you two doing here, anyway? Not that we're not just so excited to see you!" She rolled her eyes. "But, we weren't expecting to see you here. Did you get evicted, Jax? Are you losing your money and must now live in the Metro Court?"

"We…" His throat constricted and he swallowed hard. "We're here for lunch."

"Ah, I see." She nodded slowly. "Well, go about it, then. We're just heading upstairs to change. Well, to shower, to love… we'll eventually get around to changing. As you can see, we got caught in the rain. But… isn't that how it always goes with me, Jax? I get caught in the rain."

"Yeah," he said, his voice still low and soft. "Though, it's usually Sonny that you get caught in the rain with."

"Oh, Sonny was there. And he got left in the rain. And now, you're gonna get left here. At least for now. Ya know, it really does feel good to be the one doing the leaving this time around."

Brenda smiled brightly, then strode forward. Holding Luis's hand, they barged through Jax and Courtney, making the couple break hands as they shoved their way past. Brenda walked with her eyes forward, face hard until they were at and then inside the elevator. Once the doors closed, she burst into laughter, clapping her hands as she jumped up with glee. "Now, that was fun! Ya know, Luis, you were right."

"I'm always right," he said with a smirking snort, "but what am I right about this time?"

"Oh, coming back to Port Charles." She grinned and threw her arms around his neck. "And what it's like to get even. It really does feel so, so good to be on top."
