Wedding Night

"Are you okay?" Jax asks softly. It's the first time they'd been alone... since long before the wedding, hell before the kidnapping, and even now there is only an illusion of privacy as Andreas is in the main cabin of the private plane that's flying them off to their honeymoon. The door to the cockpit is locked and reinforced. He'd checked.

"I'm sorry I got you into this." Alexis shakes her head. "You should have stayed out of it."

"What was it like? Where Stavros had you?"

"Hot." Alexis says wryly. "It was a compound outside of the capitol city in Uganda."

"Uganda!" Jax' jaw drops then he grins. "Well I'm sure Stefan would have gotten around to there eventually." The back of the plane where they are is largely bed with built in dressers and a private bath in the back. Like an elephant in the room that they both try to ignore but can't. Jax comes over and brushes a hand over Alexis' cheek. "When I saw that bruise on your face I wanted to kill him."

"It was nothing." Alexis shrugs avoiding Jax' gaze. "Just something to get my attention."

Jax runs a finger under her chin lifting her face to him. His face is more serious than she'd seen in a long time. "Do you know how bad it sounds when you say it was nothing?"

Alexis brings a hand up to rest on Jax's arm. "I know how bad it could have been. It was nothing. That was the only time. It was nothing, Jax. A reminder of the family order of things. I've had worse. A hell of a lot worse growing up."

There is a discreet knock on the door. Jax steps back from Alexis. Andreas opens the door to the cabin bearing a chilled bottle of Dom with two flutes. He notes the positions of the people in the room at a glance-- apart and tense. "The captain indicates we will reach our destination by morning. He will strive to make the trip a smooth one. Shall I turn down the bed?"

"Get out." Jax grinds out between gritted teeth. He might have to put up with Stavros lackey but not here and not now.

"Of course, Sir." Andreas half bows and takes a step back. "Madame, may I speak to you privately for just a moment. About the project." Andreas lies smoothly.

"Give me a second okay, Jax." Alexis steps out to the main cabin shutting the door behind her. "What is it? Is there a problem at the lab?"

"Madame, forgive me for questioning you but I have but one... Are you trying to get your new husband killed?"

"What? What are you talking about?!"

"The Prince made it perfectly clear. This is to be a real marriage. With a real marriage bed. I must provide... evidence that you are... that you have.." Andreas lifts a brow significantly.

"What kind of sick perverted..." Alexis close her eyes. "What does he want? Photos? Video? Blood on the sheets?"

"Not blood, Madame."

"You could..."

Andreas shakes his head. "My life would be forfeit if the deception were discovered. Seduce him."

Alexis closes her eyes. "Andreas, I can't... I don't..."

"Seduce him or he dies." Andreas says flatly. "But you and I both know that the next husband the Prince selects for you will not be... a reluctant bridegroom." Alexis shakes her head not wanting to hear it. Andreas steps closer to her barely a breath away. "Madame is a beautiful woman with skin as soft as a child's. Your breasts fill a man's hands and your nipples respond to the softest of breathes... the sight of your thighs bring fantasies of them wrapped around a lover's waist. Any man who would not respond to the bounty before him... well... would probably be more interested in me."

Alexis snorts at that one. "It is so not me and Jax knows it."

"It is now. Seduce him or he dies. I have put out appropriate attire in the bath in the back, Alexis." Andreas steps to the side of Alexis and reaching behind her opens the door to the bedroom. "Please notify me if I can be of any further assistance." He bows and with a hand that appears light on Alexis' back actually shoves her in the direction of the bedroom. Then he shuts the door and locks it from the outside. He stands at attention right outside the door.

Alexis half stumbles as she falls into the bedroom but quickly recovers. She'd heard the snick of the lock. Neither of them was getting out of this room until morning. And it wasn't like there was anything to read... or even an inflight movie. She feigns a yawn. "Sorry I guess I am more tired than I thought. It's been a long day. We might as well try to get some sleep. I'll just..." Alexis points toward the bathroom. And then half hurries to it. Once in the bathroom, she sags back against the door and then realizes that is where Andreas had hung up her nightclothes. "Oh you have got to be kidding me! Where is the rest of it?" She mutters.

Jax changes from the suit he'd worn to his wedding to a pair of thin cotton pajama bottoms. Normally he doesn't sleep in anything but he'd suspected that Stavros would pull some kind of stunt like this. Putting him and Alexis in a small room and see what developed. He grabs one of the pillows off the bed as well as the coverlet and begins to prepare a bed on the floor when the bathroom door opens and Alexis stands in the doorway. "I'll take the flo..." His mouth goes dry and then wet. He swallows hard. If he doesn't he might start drooling.

Well it was wedding night white but that was about the only traditional thing you could say about it. The spagetti straps of the sheer gown extend to the fullness of Alexis' breasts where the scoop neck begins dipping low between them. The gown follows her body closely from breast to hip. And while the gown falls slightly longer than the width of man's hand beyond the V at the apex of her thighs, the slits in the gown extend up to the top of her hip... for easy movement and easier access. Jax can see the shadow of what he can guess is a pair of white thong panties under the gown. The whole outfit is covered by a short kimono style robe of the same sheer fabric unbelted.
Not meeting his gaze, Alexis goes over to the side of the bed opposite him and holding her breath she sucks her stomach in and bends over to turn down her side of the bed. She hears Jax's indrawn breath but decides to push it further. Coming around to the same side as Jax, she bends over again, turning down his side. The nightgown rides up her legs revealing the top of her thighs and the roundness of her bottom. Looking back over her shoulder, she makes the suggestion. "We'll share."

"Alexis..."

Alexis puts a finger to Jax's lips. "shush." She breathes softly rising onto her toes she presses a kiss to Jax's lips taking advantage of his next try to protest to deepen the kiss. She runs her hand down his back feeling the ripple of every muscle. Breaking the kiss, she continues to trail kisses down his chest slowly.. lingeringly.. first one nipple and then the other while her fingers work the knot at the top of his pajama bottoms. Gracefully she kneels before him, reaching with both hands she pulls the fabric down running both hands over his rock hard gluts. Already there are physical indications he is responding to her ministrations.

"Alexis, what are you doing? What are you thinking?" Jax groans as Alexis answers nonverbally by taking him into her mouth. He reaches down threading his fingers thru her hair his intention to pull her back and find out what the hell is going on... ohmyfuckinggawd instead he holds her closer to him, his hand clenching in her hair with the rhythm of her motion, his hips bucking at her clever tongue. Unable to take it anymore and knowing he is going to lose it soon, he pulls back her head forcing her to look up at him. Kneeling at his feet, her hair clenched in his hand, breathing heavy, Alexis reaches up with the back of one hand and wipes a bit of spit from the corner of her mouth. Jax's knees go weak and he sits down abruptly on the edge of the bed. It's the moment Alexis has been waiting for she rises to her feet and stands between his thighs. Taking Jax's free hand she runs it up her thigh until it rests above the top of the side of the thong panties. Then she brings his fingers back down. Jax is way past that hint and already has his other hand at the other hip sliding the panties down running his hands over her ass as he does so.
Alexis rests her hands on Jax's shoulders, stepping out of the panties that pool on the carpeted floor, she pushes him back and climbs on the bed astradle him. Rubbing a hand between her thighs, Jax finds her wet and ready. More than ready from the sounds she is making. He pulls Alexis down on top of him. She gasps, holding her breath and holding absolutely still except for an almost hiccuping rocking of her shoulders that brings her hips forward, her body contracting around him. Jax surges upward as Alexis presses down slamming their bodies together.
Higher brain function is gone. The world is gone. The plane is gone. Hell the cabin is gone all that is left is the bed and the two people on it. In an increasingly frantic rhythm older than time, Alexis starts shuddering around Jax; her breath coming in gasps. As she cries out Jax shoots to his own release. He rests his forehead on her shoulder, his own breathing rough and slow to return to normal.
He runs his hands up Alexis' back beneath the shorty gown and robe, bringing them up and in a quick motion over her head and then he tosses to the floor next to the panties. Supporting her back he brings one hand around fondling and toying with Alexis' breasts running a thumb over the rock hard nipples flicking them one way and then the other. Unable to resist he, hikes her up further on him. Alexis moans her protest as she feels Jax slipping from within her. But the moan changes quality as his mouth latches onto her breast.
Impatiently, he reverses their positions so that Alexis is now the one on her back and goes back to laving and teasing her breasts while giving his hands and fingers the freedom of her body. He had time now... time before he could... perform again but that meant he had time to explore. And exploring unfamiliar terrains has always been a hobby of his.

Outside the bedroom door, Andreas stands at attention his face blank as he takes in every cry and moan. The Prince would be satisfied even if he wasn't.

A quiet click as the door to the bedroom is unlocked, Andreas enters the bedroom where Madame sleeps with her husband. Silently he removes the soiled clothing and sets out a new outfits for the both of them.

"What the hell you think you're doing?" Jax growls from the bed.

"We will be landing in an hour, sir. Breakfast is being served in the main cabin. Is there anything else you need?"

"Your absence."

"Of course, sir." Andreas bows and steps out of the bedroom.

"Did he bring coffee?" Alexis mutters into her pillow.

"It's in the other cabin."

"Right." Alexis groans as she crawls from the bed. She can't remember when she'd been so sore. Actually it was back when she'd been married to Jax before and Lady Jane had been on her daily hike kick. But somehow she got the feeling that even more muscle groups had been involved in last night's exercise.
Alexis jumps in the shower, as with all Cassadine modes of transportation, every luxury is accommodated. The water is hot and the spray invigorating but she has zero confidence that there will be enough for two long showers so she makes hers fast. Taking a towel off the heated rack she quickly towels off noticing for the first time the clothes laid out.
Andreas has been at it again. The dress is more tailored than anything allowed her back in Africa but a far cry from her business suits. She shimmies into the satin and lace panties and looks around for a bra groaning when she doesn't find one. Considering her options are either the towel or the dress both without a bra, she reaches for the dress. Alexis shrugs into it like a coat and then starts fastening snaps. She knows Andreas thinking in selecting this garment. A firm tug by a masculine hand would part the dress baring her except for the tiny not concealing a damn thing panties.
Eyeing the slide style sandals, Alexis decides to do makeup and dry her hair next. Finally the very last thing she puts on the shoes, holding on to the wall for balance. "There had better not be any turbulence." Just to be on the safe side, she keeps a hand on the wall. "Sorry it's all yours." Alexis apologizes. She doesn't really pause in the bedroom but continues out to the main cabin.

"Coffee Madame?"

"Please." Alexis can feel herself blush certain she is the same deep rose pink as the dress. She hadn't been embarrassed that Andreas had seen her struck, bruised, tossing her cookies and wanting to die due to seasickness... but this. This is awkward.

Knowing Alexis needs a cup of coffee before even thinking of breakfast, Andreas pours her a cup from the silver service doctoring it the way Alexis prefers. "Would Madame care to examine some recent articles? I believe your letter to the editor was finally published."

"Yes, Thank you." Alexis takes the folder without looking at Andreas.

Jax comes out of the back and bending over Alexis gives her a quick kiss. "Good Morning, wife." He takes the seat across the table from her. As soon as he is seated Andreas appears with a crystal goblet filled with a green smoothie. "Your protein shake, sir." Andreas waits until Jax takes a sip and nods. "We'll be landing in approximately 25 minutes. Did you desire breakfast or at our location?"

"Alexis?"

"Later Andreas."

"Of course, Madam." Andreas bows and retreats to the galley.

"Stavros breaks Helena and you inherit the full service manservant. Another twisted joke from your brother?"

"Jax please." Alexis pleads quietly. "Not now."

"What got into you last night?"

"I like airplanes." Alexis quips uncomfortablly taking a quick sip of her coffee.

Jax realizes it's a conversation they are going to have but not right now. "What are you reading?"

"Articles from the English Paper for Uganda. I've had more time for reading lately." Alexis says wryly.

"What were you doing there?" Jax asks curiously.

Andreas steps out of the galley coming to the table and refreshes Alexis coffee. He shoots her a warning glance as he does so. Alexis doesn't acknowledge his presence but takes the warning. "Just overseeing a project for Stavros. Providing a Cassadine presence." Alexis covers smoothly. Andreas steps back into the galley. "Uganda is an interesting country."

"Did you get to see any of it?" Jax asks wryly.

"Some. A few day trips. Dinner with the president and a few of his ministers.

"Dinner with the president?!"

"A Cassadine presence." Alexis reminds.

Andreas comes into the cabin. "The Captain indicates we are nearing our approach. Shall I clear?" At Alexis nod, he clears the cup and crystal from the table observing as Alexis fastens her seat belt.

The plane drops smoothly over a small lush green island with it's own deep water moorage. Deep Jax knows because Thaao had it done the year before Jax won it in a game of Chime de fer. The hand that Brenda had fixed. "Son of a bitch."

"What?"

"That's my island."

The plane roars to a stop by two jeeps at the end of the runway. Andreas opens the door and lets down the stairs to the the newly finished tarmac. "I will follow with the bags, Madame. I believe your husband is already familiar with the accommodations."

"Smug bastard." Jax mutters. He offers a hand to Alexis. Andreas goes back to the master cabin to do the last look thru.

"I forgot my bag." Alexis goes back following Andreas. "So you have enough evidence for Stavros, Andreas?" Alexis spits bitterly.

"He is still asking questions, Alexis." Andreas refers to Alexis' new husband.

"I am not going to let you pimp me to save your skin."

"Do or don't as is your will. It is not my skin at risk."

"Nobody likes a snitch, Andreas."

"Alexis, are you ready?" Jax says too calmly from the doorway.

"Yeah, I found it." Alexis grabs her handbag off the built in dresser and joins Jax. He puts a hand low on her waist and escorts her from the plane to the waiting jeep that will take them to the house set up on a bluff overlooking the sea. "How much did you overhear?"

"Enough to know we're going to have a hell of a conversation. And you're going to be straight with me." Jax says grimly his face cold. The arrive at the house in shortly. Jax swings down from the jeep and holds a hand out to Alexis. She takes it letting him help her down. Jax opens the front door to the house. Everything is as he left all the furnishings intact. He gets furious all over again. "Where."

"We'll be undisturbed in the study... or whatever passes for a study here." Alexis suggests.

Jax stalks off toward the back of the house. Alexis follows. "What the hell is going on?!"

Alexis makes a focused effort to remain calm her hands by her sides. "Cassadines don't divorce..."

Jax rolls his eyes. "I heard this bull from your brother. It's glib but it doesn't tell me anything."

"Okay lets put it another way. Until death us do part."

"And what does that have to do with Andreas whoring you out to me?" Jax throws back in Alexis' face.

Alexis recoils her voice going as cold as his. "He merely reminded me that my next husband, a husband forced on me by my brother, might not be as pleasant as my first. And that it is in my best interests to make sure you and my brother are satisfied with this arrangement. Andreas, what ever you think of him, knows how to fly under the Cassadine... how to not draw my brother's attention. It's a skill I've never quite acquired."

"You're angry at me." Jax realizes. "Furious! Why? All I wanted to do was to get you away from Stavros. Safe."

"Yeah, I got that from the contracts you and Stavros signed. Contracts that handed me over along with three companies in exchange for two others and a property to be named later. Contracts that outlined my use. Andreas didn't whore me. You did. You and my brother."

"Alexis, I would have told him anything. It doesn't mean anything."

"It might not mean anything to you. You don't get it. I told you to stay out of it! I told you it was a trap. He gave you an out. You should have taken it. Forgotten you ever knew me. It was a trap and you stepped right into it. Don't you get it?! In Stavros eyes, I'm your responsibility now. Anything I do comes back on you! And if you don't treat me exactly how Stavros expects then he will consider you in breech of the contract you signed. He will kill you and find someone who will keep their word, and me on a... short leash. He isn't Chloe's Aunt Gertrude, Jax. This isn't a game, an arrangement. This is a marriage-- a Cassadine marriage. Whatever you want-- whenever you want it-- however you want it. Just like the contracts I didn't get a say in. You are the one that tied my hands. I can't fight Stavros now."

"So if I came over and did this..." Jax comes over to Alexis and taking running his hands down from her shoulders to the snaps that fasten down the front of her dress. With a sharp almost ripping motion he parts the dress in a long series of pops as the snaps give exposing Alexis' bare breasts and the tiny scrap of bikinis. "That would be what Stavros expects. And you'd go along with that."

"We are afterall on our honeymoon." Alexis forgets to breath for a moment but she doesn't move or try to avoid Jax's gaze. Nor does she make any effort to cover herself.

"You've changed."

"I've... adapted. It's what I do. I've had plenty of practice."

Jax steps back. "I'm going for a walk."

"Jax..."

"Not now, Alexis." Jax goes over to the french doors and goes out into the formal gardens following the trail down to the beach.

Alexis explores the house from top to bottom. Jax would find that everything wasn't quite the same as before. There was only one bed in the house. His. Well not quite true. She'd found her clothes. They are set up in a room off of the Master suite and there is a small cot there but that has a duffel on it that she recognizes as Andreas. Great. If she and Jax weren't sleeping in the same bed... the only other bed in the house belonged to the guy who would be reporting to her brother.

"Alexis? How may I be of assistance?" Andreas is surprised to find her in his room. He glances over to the corner to make sure that all the computer components are secure. "Where is your husband?"

"Taking a walk and realizing what a Cassadine marriage really means." Alexis goes over to the window and looks out. "He overheard us on the plane."

"That is unfortunate."

"Was last night enough to keep Stavros off our backs?" Alexis asks even if she already knows the answer.

Andreas doesn't answer until Alexis looks over at him. Then he shakes his head. "You read the contract as have I. You also read the email that The Prince sent me. What my... instructions were from him."

"You could lie."

Andreas shakes his head. "I doubt I am the only person in The Prince's employ. If I report something other than the other reports he is receiving. Perhaps in time. After there is no evidence of discrepency but it is too soon."

"Jax will fight me. He doesn't like being told what to do... being controlled. And the idea that my brother is now pulling his strings. No matter what I do... he'll fight me."

"There is a period of time between sleep and wake, where men respond without thought. Your husband strikes me as an... early riser. If Madame were to get the upper hand then..." Andreas drops the suggestion and then changes the subject. "Would you prefer breakfast in your suite or..."

"Suite would be fine." Alexis replies quietly.

"I'll bring your correspondence."

Alexis nods and leaves the room going back to the room she'd be sharing with Jax. Andreas makes a call on the house phone and then goes into the master suite carrying a folder and the microcassette recorder. Alexis opens it. "What's this?"

"Thank you cards for the wedding presents." Andreas indicates. "I could do them for you but it isn't considered...."

Alexis groans. "How many?"

"There are hundreds, Madame. But I took the liberty of extending your gratitude to all but family."

"And the rest are up to me." Alexis looks up at Andreas. "Coffee. Lots of it. And don't stop until I say so."

"Of course." Andreas goes to check on the breakfast.

Alexis sighs. She reaches for the list of presents and the givers and then the box of stationary Andreas has left. There was a reason she became a lawyer. This wasn't one of them. But the sooner she got them done the sooner she could get to her emails.

When Jax returns to the house a couple of hours later he is much calmer but still unsure as to what the proper course of action is. Alexis had a point. If his mum ever found out about the contract he'd signed with Stavros, he wouldn't be allowed in the house. But damn it. Stefan hadn't been getting any closer. And it was the quickest way to get Alexis back. Jax sits down on an iron bench set off in the shade of the gardens not ready to go in yet. And last night. Christ. Last night. If Alexis had acted like that when they were married before.... Jax breaks out in a sweat at the thought. There would have been no way he'd ever have let her go. Now he didn't have to.
Getting to his feet, Jax stalks into the house. He has no idea how it's going to play out but he was taking the cards he was dealt. The first person he runs into is Andreas. "Where is my wife?"

"She is in your suite, sir."

Jax takes the stairs two at a time. He walks into the master bedroom. Alexis has a coffee service at the table. There is a stack of envelopes next to her hand. One she adds just as he walks in. "What are you doing?"

"Thank you cards. Your family was easy. But damn it, Jax... Jerry sent a monkey? A live monkey? What the hell did you do with a monkey?"

Jax laughs and grins. "Gave it to the Port Charles zoo. I should be helping you with those."

"I'm almost done." Alexis sighs. "Luckily Andreas did all the ones from business associates so it was 95% done. But Stavros resurfacing brought all of the Cassadine hanger ons and suckups out of the woodwork. I guess they didn't get the memo about him hating my guts."

Jax sits down across from Alexis. Reaching over he grabs her coffee cup and takes a quick sip and then sets it back within her reach. "I know I have some explaining to do." He leans back in his chair. "The contract thing threw me but I should have known. It was basically everything Stavros said when I saw him in Switzerland. You've got it right. He wants you on a short leash, barefoot and pregnant... well barefoot wasn't mentioned. After I talked to him in Switzerland, I went back and talked to Stefan. He was no closer to finding you. And the only clue we had to your whereabouts was... somewhere where Stavros wasn't. It was the quickest way, Alexis."

"It's a minefield, Jax." Alexis admits. "It doesn't matter wishing that you'd just have let it go. That's not what happened. And it wasn't fair of me to put that on you. Or realistic. Stavros knew what he was doing to draw you out. We're in it now. It would be easier if we were both on the same page."

"Well... you've always been my favorite wife." Jax grins wryly.

"And..." Alexis indicates with a tilt of her head to the bed, holding her breath waiting for his reply and possible rejection.

"I don't like the idea of you doing anything you don't want to do." Jax says flatly.

"You're right; it was kinda awful." Alexis says teasingly. "But maybe we should try it again... see if it gets any better."

"Come here." Jax dares. Rising from her seat, Alexis comes over to Jax's side. He pulls her down into his lap, brushing her hair aside to nuzzle at her neck. Alexis shivers as he hits a ticklish spot. "I do like this dress." One by one Jax slowly unsnaps the dress down to about Alexis' belly button as he unsnaps that button he runs his index finger along the inside of the dress brushing against the top of her panties, running a nail along the inside. He can feel Alexis' stomach tightening as he rubs against her with the back of his hand.

"Jax..." Alexis gasps.

Jax runs a thumb back and forth across one of Alexis' nipples watching as grows hard and tight jutting out demanding his further attention. "This bud's for you."

"Jax..."

With one hand acting like a blade, Jax runs his hand down the remaining snaps of the dress parting it easily. He slids his hand between her thighs sliding a finger between satin and skin. "Or maybe... this bud's for you."
