PG-14 Ned managed to make it to the Inn in record time, He spotted her car in the parking lot parked in front of the room they shared when they had that little adventure last year, he pulled up along side her car, he wasn't really sure if he was doing the right thing but something in the back of his head kept telling him that she needed him, he turned off his car and got out, he approached the door slowly. When Alexis had arrived at the Inn she asked for the same room that she and Ned once had, she was glad it was open and ready, that room held good memories for her and right now all she wanted to deal with were good memories of the past, she wasn't ready to deal with the present right now she knew that eventually she would have to, but she just didn't want to think about the mess her life was in, She had forgotten who she was these last couple of months, she had been obsessed with thoughts and fantasies of Sonny, but that was over she had woken up and realized that what she felt was out of loneliness and not out of love, No matter how hard she tried she couldn't get Ned out of her mind or her heart he was and will always be the love of her life, her soul mate, and now she had even blown that. Why couldn't she be honest with Kristina or herself and tell her that her being with Ned is killing her and that she cries herself to sleep many nights thinking of them together. But she wasn’t going to stand in the way of her or Ned’s happiness, if being together makes them happy then she would learn to live with it, she wouldn't like it but she would eventually learn to accept it. The knock at the door startled Alexis, because she didn't tell anyone where she was going and Sonny and Kristina were the only one's that even knew she left town. Who is it? She asked as she approached the door. Alexis it's me Ned. He called out, hoping she would open the door. Ned? she asked as she opened the door and saw him standing there, The sight of him caused her to hold her breath, and she had to reminded herself to breath. Kristina called! She was worried about you. He told her as he gazed at her face, he could see the sadness in her eyes and he wanted to reach out and take her into his arms and just hold her. I'm OK! she told him but the tone of her voice told him otherwise. It doesn't look that way to me. He replied smiling Can I come in? he asked silently praying she would let him. Sure, Sorry come in. She answered as she stepped aside to let him enter. It hasn't changed has it? he asked as he gazed around the room. I asked for this room, It has good memories and I wanted to have good memories right now. She told him as she walked over to the couch and sat down. I remember. He replied smiling and followed her over and sat down beside her. You looked so amazing in Emily's clothes. He was rewarded with a smile and saw the blush that came to her cheeks. Thank you, but I did feel pretty foolish, those clothes were something else, I still cant believe I let you talk me into putting them on. She said laughing lightly. Yeah, but I enjoyed taking them off of you, that was the best part. He whispered as he reached out and lifted her chin so that he could look into her eyes. I miss you, God I miss us, he said as he looked deep into her eyes. I miss you too. She told him as her eyes filled with tears that slowly began to run down her cheeks. Neither one of them spoke they just gazed into each others eyes, seeing the love that still burned there. Ned reached out and brushed the tears from her cheeks, then cupping her face in his hands he slowly leaned forward and brushed her lips with his own, pulling away slightly he waited to see what her reaction would be, when she didn’t pull away forward and captured her lips once again with his own. He felt her relax and her lips part allowing him entrance, he explored her mouth with his tongue remembering the taste and feel of her, he pulled her body against his wrapping his arms around her, and was rewarded with her arms wrapping round his neck, and her tongue was soon dueling with his, their breathing had become faster, they finally broke the kiss each pulling back to catch their breaths. Alexis I... He started to say but she pressed her fingers against his lips stopping him. Ned, I need you... she whispered as she leaned forward and found his lips once more while her hands found the buttons of his shirt. Ned pulled back and grabbed her hands. Alexis are you sure this is what you want? I don’t want you to regret this in the morning. Hoping that it was. Ned, I love you, I never stopped, and more then that I need you and I need to know that you love me too. I do love you Alexis. He told her as he pulled her to him and once again found her mouth with his and felt her arms wrap around his neck. Ned found her shirt and began pulling it from the waist band of her jeans, as soon as it was free he found the buttons and made quick work of them, he was soon pushing the shirt off of her shoulders, at the same time Alexis had finished with his buttons and had also pushed his shirt off. Ned found the clasp of her bra and it soon followed her shirt, She moaned softly as his lips left her and traveled slowly down her chin to her neck and a shiver passed through her body as his hand cupped her breast and his thumb grazed her nipple and got the response he was hoping for as it hardened into a peak. He heard her moan again as his mouth descended on her other breast bring that nipple to hardness entwining her fingers into his hair he pulled his mouth back up to hers kissing him deeply. Ned’s hands found the zipper of her jeans and with little effort lowered it, and grasping the top of them he slid them off her hips with little effort taking the tong she was wearing with them. Ned. Make love to me! Alexis moaned as she undid the hook on his pants, followed by the zipper, then she quickly pushed them down freeing his hard shaft. Alexis are you sure? Ned asked knowing they were beyond the point of no return. he moaned as he felt her hand brush against his hardness. Yes I want to feel you inside of me. She whispered as she laid back on the couch pulling him on top of her and wrapping her legs around him. He never needed to be asked twice when it came to making love to her. He heard her gasp as he entered her in one thrust. Welcome home. she moaned. Ned began to move inside of her slowly at first, but the need in both of them soon took over and he was thrusting in and out of her at a frantic pace he hadn't forgotten how she felt and how well they moved together, he felt her legs tighten around him drawing him deeper inside then her body tensed and tighten around him as she went over the edge pulling him with her, they cried out each others name and he held her tight until the shaking subsided from her body, they were both covered in sweat and their breathing had not yet returned to normal as Ned rolled off of her and took her into his arms holding her tightly against him. I guess we should move to the bed so we can be a lot more comfortable. Alexis said as she stood and took his hand and pulled him up. leading him to the bed they fixed the bed and slipped inder the sheets. Ned immediately pulled her to him and wrapped his arms around her. Thank You, Alexis told him as she laid her head on his chest. For what, He asked as he looked down at her. For knowing I needed you, she whispered as she slowly drifted off to sleep. Ned felt her breathing even out and pulling her closer whispered to her Your welcome and soon he followed her to sleep
