Mr. Immigration Man II, Chapter 15




Katherine, who has had more than her share to drink, caught Stefan alone.

" So, what's a married man doing standing here, all by himself?"

" Katherine, please. Someone might see us."

" And so what if they do. Don't you miss me? I miss you. I must say that you are standing up well today, despite all this activity. Were you thinking what I was thinking?"

" And what is that?"

" That how it should have been us, standing up there. That you and I should be getting married. That is what you were thinking while up at the Altar, wasn't it?"

" Of course, Katherine. I do not think that it is adviseable for us to be seen together. "

" Why? We have no relationship, at least that what's the outside world believes. You know, you could give me a little kiss right here."

" No, I can't. I must be getting back to the wedding. I will see you once I return."

But, it's too late. From their bedroom window, Bobbie has witnessed Stefan and Katherine together. And her ire begins to rise. She takes off her wedding dress and goes to the wardrobe that Stefan has bought for their honeymoon. She is in search of the right dress. " Ah, I found it."
Bobbie lets down her hair. " Well, I'm Mrs. Cassadine. Might as well enjoy it."

The guests are in their seats when the band leader is handed a piece of paper. He reads it and goes to the microphone. " Ladies and gentlemen, if you would take your seats. The happy couple is about to have their first dance."

Stefan looks around for Bobbie. The music starts up behind Stefan, Bobbie comes. She unbuttons his tuxedo jacket and takes it off. Along with the tie. Then Bobbie comes around to face Stefan. He is stunned. Bobbie has changed from the wedding dress to a black, floor length, form-fitting gown with crossing straps across what little back there is, and a slit up the side almost to where we are playing peekaboo. Stefan listens to the music. Bobbie is challenging him....to the tango. She takes the lead and he follows her moves around, for a bit. But, then he grabs her, and begins to do it slow, purposefully, methodically, like the Argentines who taught him. There is no room between them. Bobbie fights him at every turn, which only makes him more determined than ever. They cover every inch of the dance floor. The heat rising between them with every step. People who were doing things have stopped. The entire wedding has stopped. All eyes are on Mr. & Mrs. Cassadine and their dance. Luke looks at them and just shakes his head. Katherine looks at them and is confused. Alexis looks at Katherine looking at them and just smirks. Laura looks at them and is becoming a bit uncomfortable. As the end of the dance approaches, Bobbie and Stefan don't hear the music end. They continue dancing, until Bobbie realizes it. She stops. Looks over at Katherine and Luke, who're sitting together, and decides to taunt them. She begins to kiss Stefan, with all sorts of passion. Strange thing happens. Once she starts, she forgets about Katherine and Luke, and begins to only think of Stefan's lips. And Stefan? He responds from a place which he does not know. As they break up the kiss, both look at one another with utter confusion. They both walk off the dance floor, in almost a daze.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The guests are beginning to leave. Bobbie is upstairs with Felicia, finishing packing.

" So, my friend. Any comments on my wedding?"

" You looked beautiful. Everyone looked beautiful. Your brother knows how to make an entrance."

" You know Luke..."

" Yes, we all know Luke. I must say, I've never been to a wedding where the first dance between the bride and groom was the Tango."

" Well, you know, I was throwing out a lot of traditions."

" But, that Tango..."

" What about it..."

" Hadn't seen anything that HOT since Anna & Duke. I have to admit, for the first time, I see something between you and Stefan."

" You do?"

" Yes. It was quite overwhelming. You may not have noticed, but you captivated the entire room."

" You're kidding."

" I wish I was. But, I guess there's something between you two after all. Pure combustion. That was an interesting toast that Luke gave."

" Yes, my brother is always interesting. Well, I'm all packed."

" Do you know where you're going on your honeymoon?"

" I haven't any idea. I hope that it's fun. Thanks Felicia."

" No problem, Bobbie."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Katherine is waiting for Mac, who went to get her cloak.

" Well, Katherine, did you enjoy the wedding?"

" It was as good as weddings can be, Alexis."

" I thought Bobbie was a beautiful bride. Stefan couldn't keep his eyes off of her. And that Tango, wasn't it divine? They practically set the world on fire.."

" You know Alexis. I thought that you were above rubbing salt in other people's wounds."

" You know, I thought I was. but for you, I'll make an exception."

" The wedding was quite lovely. And I'm glad I came. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be going."

As Katherine got up and walked away, " You silly woman. Don't you know that Stefan loves ME. And that this was all an act, and that sooner than you know it, I'll be Mistress of Wyndermere."

And Alexis was muttering, " You Blond twit. I bet you're counting the days until you move into Wyndermere. Well, it ain't gonna happen. This is as close as you're EVER going to get to a wedding at Wyndermere. Delude yourself all you want, you leech, but Bobbie's here and here's she's gonna stay. And Stefan better start understanding that too."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" Luke, are you ready to go?"

" What? A mere question? No accusations of ruining others lives?"

" Yes, Luke. It's a simple question. Bobbie is married now. There's nothing that you can do. So, let us take our family and go home."

" Best idea of the day."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" Now, Lucas. You mind Alexis, Nikolas and Mrs. Lansbury while Stefan and I are gone. Do you understand?"

" Yes, Mommy. How long are you going to be gone?"

" Not forever, Lucas. Just enough time for your mother and I to have a proper honeymoon. So, why don't you come over and give me a goodbye hug."

" OK, Uncle."

Lucas gives both Bobbie and Stefan hugs and kisses.

" Nikolas, I trust that you will be responsible while we are away."

" I'll do my best, Uncle. I'll make sure that Lucas is cared for."

" Bobbie, Stefan. You go and enjoy your honeymoon. Nikolas, Lucas and I will be fine. I assure you that Wyndermere will still be standing when you return."

" Thank you Alexis."

" Yes, thank you Alexis. Goodbye cousin."

" Bon voyage."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bobbie and Stefan are on the Cassadine Jet. They have been for sometime. Stefan is sitting on the couch. Bobbie is walking around.

" Well, Barbara, how do you believe the evening went?"

" It was a lovely wedding Stefan. Despite myself, I enjoyed it."

" What on earth possessed you to order the tango?"

" Nothing we do is conventional Stefan. So why make the First Dance song any different?"

" I didn't know that you knew how to Tango."

" I learned it dancing with a very dangerous partner."

" Oh, I see."

There is turbulence and Bobbie is shaken to the point where she falls onto the couch into Stefan's lap. Bobbie is going to move when Stefan holds onto her.

" Do you have to go?"

" Wouldn't that be adviseable?"

" For whom?"

And Stefan grabs Bobbie and kisses her. She responds, but then breaks away.

" I don't know if this is right for me." Bobbie gets up and sits on the other side of the plane. They ride the rest of the trip in silence.

Once they have arrived at their destined airport, Bobbie and Stefan are ushered into a helicopter. They ride for a while, away from land and out over the water. Bobbie then sees something in the horizon. She thinks that it is a boat. As they approach it, she sees that it's not a boat, but a yacht. A 200 ft white yacht. Enormous. The name on it is "The Aphrodite". Bobbie turns to Stefan, who is only smiling. The helicopter lands on the heliport. Bobbie and Stefan are helped down the stairs to the deck. Assembled there, were a line of people. Bobbie assumed that they were the crew. A gentleman stepped foward, " Welcome aboard ' The Aprhodite' Mr. And Mrs. Cassadine."

" Captain, may I introduce my wife, Mrs. Cassadine. Barbara, this is Constatin Alexopolous, Captain of the Cassadine Yacht."

" Mrs. Cassadine, it is a pleasure."

" Thank you, Captain."

" The staff is here to cater to your everywhim, Mrs. Cassadine. All you have to do is ask, and you shall receive. "

" Thank you, Captain."

" Mr. Cassadine, your stateroom will be completely unpacked in about one half hour."

" Thank you, Constatin. My wife and I will have a drink in the salon, then."

" As you wish."

Bobbie and Stefan make their way to the salon. The scale of the boat does stun her.

" Impressed, Barbara?"

" Just a bit. But, a boat's a boat. You made a big assumption, Stefan."

" And what was that?"

" That I would want to share a room with you? After all, the children aren't around."

" Well, if you wish to have your own room, Barbara, I will have your things moved accordingly."

" No. Not neccessary. So, what are our travel plans?"

" We will be sailing for tonight, and we'll ultimately wind up on the French Riviera."

" Where?"

" Monaco."

" Sounds lovely. I bet you have all sorts of things planned, don't you, Stefan?"

" I aim to please."

At this point, a maid enters the room.

" Mr. & Mrs. Cassadine, I am to inform you that your stateroom is ready."

" Thank you, Eleni. So, Barbara, shall we go?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Luke is sitting in "LUKE'S" , when Laura comes in.

" Luke, what are you thinking about, or do I even ask?"

" What else, babe? Bobbie. About right now, she's in the den of the devil. And I'm scared that he's gonna lure her right back into the serpent's lair. How COULD I sleep at night?"

" You can't think that Bobbie could fall for Stefan again."

" You saw that dance Laura. That man has a hold on her that she can't shake. Bobbie thinks she's in control. And for her sake, I hope she's right."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bobbie sat on her side of the bed. She was on the edge, looking out the window, seeing the moonbeam shine onto the water. She wondered how she was back in this place, Stefan's bed. But, more importantly, how she didn't want to be elsewhere. God, am I crazy? What the hell am I doing here? Luke is right, I am back in the serpent's lair all over again. And then she thought back to the wedding. How, when just trying to irritate Katherine and Luke, she began to kiss Stefan, first for them and then for herself. And that he responded.

Stefan saw Bobbie on the bed. Her nightgown was almost completely backless. He got onto the bed, and hoped that Barbara was going to indeed be receptive to his advances. He had suprised himself by the depth of passion in those kisses at the wedding.

Bobbie is contemplating things, and lost in thought, when she feels Stefan's lips on her back. She is startled by their touch. Her head tells her to get the hell out of there, but her body and soul say stay. His hand is on her neck as he slowly makes his way up her back. His hand slides one of the straps of her gown down. She feels Stefan making his way, slowly up to her neck. As he's about to kiss her on the neck, she turns to face him. Bobbie slides back onto the bed. Pulling at his Medallion, she pulls him towards her. His hands grab Bobbie's gown and as he comes towards her, he is pulling it off of her. By the time they are face to face her gown and his pajamas are gone. His lips almost meet hers; she turns her face and offers her neck to him. Slowly he begins to kiss her, then more fervently. She turns to meet his lips and they begin to finish the tango that they had started at the wedding. The more passion that she gave him, the more he responded. As they came together as one, Bobbie couldn't remember anything else: not Luke, or Tony or Carly or the pain. All she knew was that once again, she was home. Whatever that meant, all that it was, there was no hiding Barbara Jean. As they shuddered together, in sync, Bobbie could look into Stefan's eyes and know that this was only the beginning. And she completely agreed.

It was Bobbie this time who initiated it. Snuggling up to his ear, slightly biting it, then going his neck. Working her way down, ever so slightly his chest, her lips alternating between rough kisses and slight brushes. As her lips teased him, her hands were doing their own form of teasing. Bobbie heard a moan slip from Stefan's lips. He sat up and pulled her to him. He kissed her with the same depth as he did the night of that fire...with that hunger that almost swallows her whole and takes her very breath away. As Bobbie straddled Stefan, their eyes met. They began to rock together. The deeper the grooves and the motions, the deeper that they lost themselves in one another and fused. Their climax was in unison and overwhelming. They stay coupled for a few minutes. Slowly, they untangle themselves and lay back on the bed. Stefan smiles, takes Bobbie's hand and kisses it. They both fall asleep within minutes.
