Author’s note: Everyone remembers the scene where Carly discovers inside the elevator at the PC Hotel that Sonny is claustrophobic, right? Well, what if she helps him forget his fears for little while? Someone else, can’t remember exactly who, sorry, suggested the elevator as the place and Kate suggested this little scene rewrite.
Prologue
"Sonny? Sonny! Look at me." Carly whirls Sonny to face her. "Focus on me, okay?" Her eyes search his. She can see the sheer terror in their depths. Something she’d only seen in his eyes one other time. The breakdown. She has to get him through this. Just like she got him through that night.
Sonny stares blankly at her for a moment. His thoughts centered wholly on that damn closet Deke locked him in. As she slowly comes into focus, pulling him from his past, he stares into the eyes of the woman whose face haunts his dreams. Whose scent still lingers in his bed. Whose taste and touch he tries desperately to forget, but finds he can’t or maybe…. won’t.
His breathing slowly returns to somewhat normal. But now…… now, Carly is the reason his heart beats unsteadily in his chest. Carly is the reason his body feels too hot. Carly is the reason he feels like the wind has been knocked out of him.
Carly immediately notices the change in him. The almost predatory hunger in his eyes. Devouring her with a look. The way his stance has gone from frantic to dominating. She shudders in a breath. That look. She knows what’s coming. The question is… what does she do about it? She still wanted him. She hadn’t been able to forget how he made her feel that night. The unbridled passion. The hunger. The heat. The need.
Her hands slowly drop from where they are holding his upper arms as she wets her suddenly dry lips with her tongue. She tries to make herself focus on now. "You okay?"
Sonny can’t tear his gaze from her mouth. That delicious sultry mouth. He nods as he moves towards her. "Fine." His gaze flicks up to hers as she backs away from him. She wants him just as much as he wants her. He can see it in her eyes.
Carly holds the bar behind her for support as Sonny advances on her. She slowly shakes her head. "Sonny…"
Sonny dips his head and brushes his lips slowly over hers. Pulling at her lips with his own. "You can’t tell me you haven’t wanted this." He puts a hand at her waist as he pulls his head back to look into her eyes.
Carly slowly opens her eyes to look at him. Who could think with this man touching them? "Sonny…"
Sonny takes that as a yes. He brushes his lips over hers once again. Sucking that sultry full lower lip into his mouth. His free hand moves into her hair, cupping the back of her head. Tilting her head back as he presses his body to hers. His eyes search hers. "Let me have you."
Her breath shudders out of her chest as she stares up at him through heavy lidded eyes.
When she worries her lower lip with her teeth, Sonny growls low in his throat and fastens his mouth to hers, his tongue plundering her mouth. Taking full and total possession. Making her his. Only his. Even if it’s just for now.
Carly whimpers and grips the lapels of his jacket as his mouth moving over hers leaves her weak. This was what it was like to be craved. To be taken with complete and total abandon.
Sonny reaches down and unbuttons the jacket over her dress. He needed to feel her. To touch her.
Carly helps him, shrugging out of the jacket, not caring where it falls or how wrinkled it gets.
Sonny slips his hand down into the top of her low cut slip dress, palming her full breast, his thumb teasing its peak into responding.
Carly groans and rubs her pelvis against his, pulling her mouth from his to let her head fall back against the elevator wall.
Sonny’s lips trail a path over her neck as his other hand pulls her dress up to her hip, revealing silk garters and stockings. Sonny pulls his head up to look into her eyes as his hand moves over her thighs. "Good God, Carly."
She smiles seductively then her eyes flutter closed as his fingers tease over the crotch of her panties. "Sonny…. "
"That’s it. Say my name." He leans his forehead against hers as he spreads her thighs with one of his and slips his fingers inside her panties to sink into her with a groan. "So tight. So wet."
She grips his shoulders as his fingers stroke her, delving deeply into her then teasing over her before delving in again. Suddenly impatient to get her hands on him, she pulls his shirt out of his pants and runs her hands up his smooth muscular chest, her fingers toying with his nipples as he hisses in a breath. She bites her lip as she feels herself getting close.
"No, don’t hold back." Sonny brushes his open mouth over hers, flicking his tongue over her lip. "Let go. C’mon Carly. Let go."
Carly arches her back as she grips his sides, the pleasure that he made her feel always so intense. "Oh, God, Sonny….."
"That’s it." He moves his hand from her breast to her rear, tilting her up as his hand strokes her into oblivion. "You’re almost……"
Her heads tosses against the wall as the dam breaks and her body shatters against him. "Sonny…."
Sonny groans when she tightens around his hand and jerks at his trousers and boxers, freeing himself as he lifts her to slide into her with a heated forceful needy glide. "God, you feel good. So damn good." He leans his head against her neck and fights for control.
Carly wraps her legs around him and arches her back, taking him deeper, pulling him into the heat of her, her muscles gripping him tightly as the aftershocks tremor through her body.
Sonny lifts his head and looks down into her beautiful flushed face. "Carly, open your eyes." He grinds against her. "Open your eyes and look at me."
Carly opens her eyes to look up into his. She reaches up and pulls his face close to hers.
Sonny’s eyes search hers as he moves within her, his strokes slow and sure. "Never forget this. No one can make you feel this." He thrusts deeply into her and watches as her eyes start to shudder closed. "No, look at me."
Carly bites her lip as she looks at him. He was right, no one made her feel what he did. "Sonny….."
Hearing his name on her lips was like a drug. A drug he couldn’t get enough of. "Say it again." His thrusts become impatient.
"Sonny…." She arches against him with a cry.
"Again." He slams his body into hers as their eyes focus on each other’s.
"Sonny…. " She groans, her voice raspy with passion.
He moves his hand to rub his thumb over the heat of her, catching her anguished cry in his mouth. "Carly….." He groans as she climaxes around him, squeezing him tightly, pulling him in deeper. He slams into her one last time and grinds his hips against hers with a low growl as his body gives into the pleasure and reaches fulfillment deep within hers. "Carly….." He whispers as his lips brush over hers while their bodies shudder in completion against each other.
