K AK AJ109xx J10xx
Partner opens:
1♠-2♦
2♠-?
2♠ says absolutely nothing 1♠ didn't already say.
2♦ is 100% GF

The problem is that you may miss ♦ slam in sequence:
1♠ - 2♦
2♠ - 3♣
3♠ (most likely) and now there will be some confusion about meaning of 4♦ bid.
I bid 3♦ with OP hand if that's forcing.

Personally, I'm a fan of this bid.

Since for me, and I assume for the OP, given the description of 2♠, a 3♣ rebid by opener would have shown extras, we cannot yet rule out a hand such as AQxxx xx x AQxxx or even slightly better, so we need to cater to our club fit.
We also need to cater to AQxxx xx Kxx Axx, since I assume that an immediate raise would show 4+ support or some extras, and even if that is wrong, he surely won't raise immediately with say AQJxxx xx Kxx Ax.
3♣ hideously overbids that suit.....since we have a gf hand and our main problems involve both level and strain...that is, we have slam interest...we should try to avoid suggesting, as a slam-suitable suit, J10xx.
3♦ is almost as bad...we have already suggested a suit of approximately this quality and length...and if we rebid diamonds and then make a slam move, he should expect either a better hand or a better suit and thus misevaluate. More importantly, 3♦ buries the club fit if we have one.

My initial thought was 3♦. However, I'm not in love with this hand, especially for slam. While I'm a big fan of AJT9, it's really not a very good holding for slam purposes, unless we're intending to bid grand on a 5-or-7 hand. We almost need partner to hold a singleton club, or multiple club honors/length in addition to multiple other keycards for slam to be even decent. I'm going to go with 2NT. If partner can't do anything other than raise to 3NT over this, I don't even think I'm worth a 4N call. I'm finding it hard to construct a balanced <15 HCP hand where slam is great and partner wouldn't do something other than 3NT over 2NT. Maybe Axxxx xxx KQx Ax? Maybe he should bid 3♦ over 2NT with that? Again I don't really play this style so I'm not sure.
