Chapter 19 - Wonderland

Destiny looked around the posh hotel room, making sure everything was perfect. If all went according to her plan, this would be the first time she and AJ made love, and she wanted it to be special. But, then, how could it not be? With the power behind the emotions between them, it was most assuredly going to be something neither of them would ever forget.

She didn't really want it to be a planned event like this, but time alone for them had been scarce. This was the only option she'd been left with. After finding this beautifully romantic room, she had called AJ and left him a very tempting message, telling him things such as what she'd love to do to his body, and have him do to hers. It hadn't taken him long at all to call her back, confirming the 'reservation', telling her he'd soon be there.

It was early in the day, barely after noon, but that didn't seem to matter to either of them. That just gave them more time to love. With the drapes closed, the lights low, soft music playing, and candles flickering, Destiny pranced around in a see through black lace teddy with a thong back side, and a short black silk cover jacket that tied at the waist. She made sure to put her hair up the way he'd told her was sexy, and she had spritzed herself with his favorite perfume. She had his favorite scented candles burning, and had even remembered his favorite dessert.... a hot fudge cake, topped with ice cream and whipped cream, which she realized should be arriving any moment. She quickly pulled on the more conservative robe provided by the hotel and dialed room service.

"Yes ma'am," the man said. "It's on it's way."

Breathing a sigh of relief, Destiny jumped as a knock at the door came just as she was hanging the phone up. Checking the peephole first, she unchained the door, allowing the young lady to wheel the cart in.

"Will that be all, ma'am?" she asked politely.

"Yes. Thank you," Destiny answered, laying a handsome tip in her hand.

She pushed the cart to the other side of the bed and hung the unappealing robe back up. Checking the clock again, she realized it was time for him to arrive. Her heart instantly began to race as she hurried to the mirror to check her hair and makeup for the final time.

"Breathe, Destiny, breathe," she told herself. "He is just a man."

But, he wasn't just a man. He was HER man, her superman. The one who could send her senses reeling with the mere touch of his hand. His smoldering brown eyes reflected the love she felt inside, as if he were looking directly into her soul. Smiling to herself, she realized how true that thought was. AJ touched places in her that no one else had ever come close to. He had unlocked emotions she'd thought she'd never experience, filling her heart, her soul, her entire being with so much love that it seemed to radiate from her every pore. He had opened her eyes to a whole new world.... a wonderland of love.

A light knocking at the door brought her back to reality. Steadying herself, battling the nerves that were trying to take over, she made her way to answer it. Opening it up, seeing him standing there before her, it hit her. If there had ever been any doubt in her mind that she'd made the right decision, there wasn't anymore. Simply put, he took her breath away.

His hands in his pockets, AJ looked at Destiny, then down at the floor, a huge smile on his face, saying, "Hi" softly, feeling like a school boy speaking to his crush for the first time.

"Hi," she returned with a smile, opening the door wider to allow him in.

As he entered the room, he smiled, noticing the lengths she'd obviously went to just to make it perfect. What she doesn't realize, he thought, is it would be perfect, no matter what, as long as I'm with her. Turning to face her, his eyes began to take in all the beauty in front of him. She had her auburn hair pulled up, a few stray curls cascading down her sensual neck. Her slender frame and long legs were accented by the short black cover jacket that he couldn't wait for her to remove. In her blue eyes, he saw all the emotions she was fighting to control.... the passion, the desire, the love.

Noticing his stare, she licked her pouty red lips, causing a stir in his jeans, and asked, "Do you see something you like?"

"You look absolutely scrumptious," he said, his heart pounding in his chest.

"Speaking of scrumptious, I have a surprise for you," she said. "But first, my dear, you seem to be a little over dressed."

"We will just have to do something about that, then, won't we?" he replied, fumbling to keep his balance as he kicked off his shoes. As badly as he wanted this, as ready as he was to discard all clothing and make love to his angel, he couldn't resist her lips. Placing a hand firmly at the back of her head, he pulled her forward to meet him, sucking her luscious bottom lip between his. Feeling her arms wrap around his neck, he encircled his arm around her waist, holding her tightly against him.

Realizing things were getting way too heated way too quickly, Destiny pulled away and tugged at the bottom of his shirt, signaling him to raise his arms. Pulling the tshirt over his head and tossing it to the floor, she delighted in his physique. Things had happened so fast the night of the anniversary party that she hadn't had a chance to notice much. But, now that she could, she planned to cover every inch of his tight body.

She reached out and ran her hands lightly over his chiseled chest and abdomen, allowing her fingertips to briefly linger on his now erect nipples. She could hear him catch his breath as she began to unbutton and unzip his jeans. With them undone, she freed him of those, as well as the boxer briefs underneath, leaving him standing there completely naked.... and utterly gorgeous.

She hadn't realized she was staring until he repeated her earlier words.

"Do you see something you like?" he asked, a mischievous smile on his face.

Clearing her throat, she replied, "Um, about that surprise...." As she started past him, he reached out and grabbed her arm, stopping her in her tracks.

"Not so fast, there, sexy," he smiled. "It seems to me that YOU are now the one who is over dressed.

Destiny stood motionless as AJ reached out and untied the cover jacket, gently sliding it off her shoulders, his gaze never leaving hers. Once the jacket was out of the way, he let his eyes roam over her body from head to toe and back up again. Taking a step closer to her, he whispered, "You truly are an angel."

Smiling her own mischievous grin, she replied, "Come here and let this angel show you what heaven is like."

Taking his hand, she led him to the bed, instructing him to lie down. His back propped up against several pillows, she said, "Close your eyes."

"Baby, I want to see it all," he argued.

"I promise you won't miss a thing."

Once she was certain his eyes were closed tightly, she uncovered the mouth watering dessert and dipped out a spoonful, making sure to get all of the ingredients in the bite.

"Now, open your mouth," she instructed as she straddled his body.

Without protest, he did as he was told. Sliding the sweet concoction in his mouth, she waited for his reaction.

"Mmmm.... hot fudge....," he started, but was halted by her next move.

Destiny had placed a spoonful of whipped cream on each of his nipples and was smearing more down his stomach. He tried to prepare himself for what he knew was coming next, but nothing could've prepared him for what he felt.

The tip of her tongue on his bare skin sent shock waves throughout his entire body. He squirmed against her soft touch, his pleasure obvious in the moans escaping his lips. Destiny slowly cleaned up the sticky mess she'd made on his body, dragging her tongue across his salty skin. Circling his nipples, she allowed the tip to flicker over the hard points. She could hear his breathing deepen as she worked her way down his chest and tummy, plunging further and further south with each passing second. AJ's body shuddered beneath her, his ever growing hardness caressing first her stomach, and, as she worked her way down his body, it began to brush against her soft breasts. He knew he had to change the momentum soon. He was getting very close to losing control.

In one smooth movement, AJ flipped them over, this time him on top of her. Looking down at her, he saw his future glistening in those blue eyes that made him melt.... all of his hopes and dreams coming true. The fairy tale he'd longed for was now reality.

Lowering his head to lightly brush her lips with his, he whispered, "It's my turn."

After having her close her eyes, he turned the music up and dipped his finger in the delectable sauce. Starting just below her ear, he made a chocolate trail down to her chest. Another finger full left a twin trail down the other side of her neck, ending just above her breast.

Feeling his hot breath against her skin as his mouth came closer, Destiny allowed the raw emotions to take over. Though he referred to her as his angel, she felt sure he must have wings of his own hidden somewhere. Every time he touched her, kissed her, or even just looked at her, she was plunged further into the ecstasy they shared.

An involuntary moan escaped her lips when she felt his hot mouth on the sensitive skin of her neck. Being with him, here in his arms, felt so natural it was almost scary. He felt it too. The feeling that they were where they were meant to be was overwhelming. It was so real it made believers out of them. That 'meant to be' kind of love, the kind of love that truly makes you complete was real. And they had found it.

AJ's hot mouth leaving kisses all over her body as he licked off the fudge sauce caused Destiny's heat to rise quickly. After licking the last bit off of her chest, he slid his body back up hers and lowered his head slowly.

There's that look again, she thought with a smile. The love between them was so powerful it brought tears to their eyes. Both of them unable to speak, they closed their eyes, putting all their energy into a very passionate kiss, allowing the sensations to fill their bodies. Their movements totally in synch, the music filled the room, mixing with their moans of pleasure to create a perfect rhythm.

*We've got the afternoon. You've got this room for two.
One thing I've left to do. Discover me discovering you.
One mile to every inch of your skin like porcelain.
One pair of candy lips and your bubblegum tongue...*

No other man had ever made Destiny feel the way AJ did. As he covered her body in kisses, she relished in the feeling of his hands and mouth on her skin, his body rubbing against hers.

*And if you want love, we'll make it.
Swim in a deep sea of blankets
Take all your big plans and break 'em
This is bound to be a while...,*

Slowly crawling back up her body, Destiny knew AJ was closing in for a kiss. But his lips just barely brushed hers, moving on to her neck. Sucking the sweet skin into his mouth, he could feel his erection growing. She tasted so good, and felt so good, and looked so damn good. He wanted it to last, but he didn't know how much longer he could hold out. Looking back into her eyes, he opened his mouth to speak, but it was she who spoke first.

"I love you, Alex," she said softly.

A smile plastered on his face, he responded, "More than anything.... I love you, too."

*Your body is a wonderland.
Your body is a wonder, I'll use my hands
Your body is a wonderland....*

Kissing his way back down her delicious body, AJ was trying his best to hold out, to wait. But, every little thing about her, about being with her, was making him hotter. A hand firmly on each hip, he kneeled above her, leaning to lightly trace his tongue down the sides of her stomach. But, as his mustache tickled the soft skin, she began to squirm, getting away from him. Facing him, now, on her knees, she smiled a playful smile and informed him it was now her turn to find his ticklish spots.

"I don't have any," he bragged, his arms folded in front of his naked body.

"We'll see about that," she laughed, as she crawled up the bed towards him, pieces of her hair coming down to fall in her face.

*Something about the way the hair falls in your face.
I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase.
You tell me where to go. Though I might leave to find it,
I'll never let your head hit the bed without my hand behind it...."*

He allowed her to gently push him back, her coming to rest on top of him, her hands slowly sliding down his sides.

"So, you aren't ticklish, are you?" she asked.

"Nope. Not a bit."

"Ok, then. So, this won't bother you?"

She dug her fingers into his ribs, causing an eruption of laughter from him. His body squirming to get away, she maintained her grip on him for a minute or so. Finally getting away from her, he took a second to catch his breath, then looked up at her. What had been playful exuberance just a moment before now was a fiery passion.

*Damn, baby, you frustrate me.
I know you're mine all mine all mine....
But you look so good it hurts sometimes....*

He had to have her. Then. Crossing the bed on his knees, he firmly took her face in his hands and crushed her lips beneath his. Destiny allowed him to push her back on the bed, pulling him down with her. As he came down on top of her, he slowly and gently slid himself into her softness, filling her completely. The cries of passion grew louder as their rhythm picked up.

"You...," he said through the ragged breaths, his voice barely audible. "You...it's been..... been....it's been you all along." Suddenly a scene from a dream flashed in his head. The dreams he'd had of her.... the dreams he'd thought Kevin was in.... this was it. This was what he had seen in his dreams. This was the exact scenario.

"Yes," she smiled.

AJ could feel his climax building, as well as the emotions behind it.

"Mine...," he said. "Now.... mine.... you..... my angel," he muttered against her lips.

"Always," she said. "It was you who gave me wings."

As he looked down at her, into her eyes once again, a single tear dropped off his face onto hers, both of their bodies beginning to shudder in the ecstasy of release. She could feel his explosion filling her; he could feel her tightness contracting around him, her juices flowing. As he collapsed in her arms, the only thing louder than the moans were the unspoken words of love.

They can't hide forever, she thought as she sat in the car, across the parking lot. They have to come out sooner or later. And, when they do, I'll be waiting.
