Chapter 15
Gia was pissed! Who were they to question or talk about her? Emily and Elizabeth had a lot of nerve. And Nikolas... he knew nothing about her and the fact that he thought he could question her to begin with pissed her off even more. She would be lying if she said she hadn’t thought about him since the accident and more importantly since the hospital. The softness of his hands… the warmth of his breath… the way his eyes sparkled when he smiled at her all came rushing back to her. And when she saw him sitting across from her at Luke’s she wanted to know everything and anything about him but now... Turning her car around foregoing the solitude and security her cottage gave her Gia sped back towards the PC Hotel ready to give Nikolas another piece of her mind.
As the steaming water rained down on him Nikolas tried to figure out his jealously towards Gia and the men in her life. He knew he had stepped over the line with her tonight... from the bar to the hotel but his reasons why he still could figure out why. Gia was beautiful yet she was not the first beautiful woman he had ever encountered. Having the title of prince and being heir to a fortune many could not even dream lured many beautiful women to Nikolas. But until Gia none had ever effected him in on way or the other. Her sparkling eyes... her tender smile... thoughts of her were never far from him. If only... the heavy pounding on his door pulling him from his thoughts of Gia Nikolas quickly grabbed a towel wondering who in the hell was beating on his as if their life depended on it.
Nikolas- [yelling as he loosely wrapped a towel low on his waist] Who in the hell is it?
Gia- Gia...
Nikolas- [ slowly opening the door] Gia?
Gia- Gia Campbell...
Nikolas- [a slow smile spreading across his face as he stared a fuming Gia] Well... what do I owe this pleasure?
Gia- I... [noticing his state of undress] I wanted to talk to you.
Nikolas- Well... do come inside...
Gia- [walking into the penthouse] I came here for two reasons...
Nikolas- [closing the door behind her] Such as...
Gia- One... don’t ever speak to me like that again. Do you understand? I’m not Emily or Elizabeth falling over your every word. You’re not going to talk to me however you see it.
Nikolas- [slowly walking towards her] And the other reason?
Gia- Lucky is my friend...
Nikolas- [gently moving the hair off of her shoulder] And...
Gia- And he’s your brother...
Nikolas- [softly touching her face] Yes... I know.
Gia- And I... I don’t want whatever... I don’t want him being stuck between the two of us.
Nikolas- [as he slowly leaned in to kiss her] No... definitely not there.
Lightly kissing him all thoughts and rants she had planned escaped Gia. The feel of his lips causing her to lose all reason Gia wrapped her arms around his neck bringing Nikolas closer into her. The kiss having been soft and gentle quickly turned passionate the moment he felt her respond. As her back pressed against the door Nikolas slowly ran his hand across the exposed flatness of her stomach. The feel of his hands against her skin finally drew Gia from her momentary paradise.
Gia- [pulling away from Nikolas] I didn’t... I didn’t come here for this.
Nikolas- [slowly tracing her lips with his thumb] Then what did you come here for?
Gia- I wanted... I wanted to tell you...
Nikolas- [softly as he ran his hand along the curve of her breast] You want to tell me what?
Gia- That I...
And I want your body close, you on top of me, can you feel it
I'm gonna make your body drip all over me, baby me inside of you
So take off all your clothes and throw them on the floor
You wont need them
Cuz I wanna give you every little thing you need and more
Let me tell you what I want to do
Again Gia’s statement was cut off as Nikolas covered her mouth with his engaging her tongue in a dance while they drank hungrily of each other. Passion took over his actions and Nikolas quickly undid the buttons of her shirt allowing his hands free reign over her body. Breaking away from the kiss Nikolas stared longing at Gia unsure of their next move. With nervous fingers Gia slowly traced the contours and curves of his mouth and lips before bringing him back to her kissing him again. Her kiss an invitation to go further Nikolas lightly fingered the lacy material of her bra before he unhooked it reveling in the feel of her breasts in his hands. Running his thumb across her nipple Nikolas slowly smiled as it felt it harden at his touch. Pulling away from her kiss Nikolas slowly blazed a trail down her neck to the valley of her breast leaving tiny kisses along the way. Covering her breasts with his mouth Nikolas hungrily sucked her nipples as if life-sustaining nectar would come from each. nipple. Rearing her head back at the pleasure Nikolas is giving to her Gia tangled her hands in his hair pleading and pulling him closer to her. Suddenly turning Gia away from him Nikolas allowed the coldness of the door to offer some relief to her well kissed and caressed breasts as he kissed down her back removing her shirt completely from her body. Needing still some connection to Nikolas Gia reached behind her longing to feel him within her hands. Reaching beneath his towel Gia slowly and gently caressed him hardening him with her touch. Returning the favor Nikolas found his way to the top of her pants slipping his hand inside dancing his hand across the lacy fabric of her underwear. Feeling her hand as it covered his stopping his exploration Nikolas turned Gia back to him again taking control of her mouth. As his hand again began it exploration Gia shook her head finally pulling away from him.
I wanna make love, sweet love, all night long to the rising of the sun
With your body close to mine it feels so right, don't let go of me
Girl I wanna make love, sweet love, all night long to the rising of the sun
With your body close to mine it feels so right don't let go of me
Gia- [breathlessly] We can’t... we can’t do this...
Nikolas- [softly] Gia...
Gia- [shaking her head] We can’t...
Nikolas- [softly as gently kissed her shoulder] I want to make love to you...
Gia- [breathlessly as she lost herself in his kisses] This is wrong...
Nikolas- [softly] Then let me make it right.
Bringing her to him again Nikolas slowly covered her face and shoulders with feather soft kisses. Trailing kisses from her mouth to her ear stopping breathing heavily beside her ear.
Nikolas- [whispering] Can I make love to you?
The warmth of his breath and his body pressed close to her was too intoxicating a mix for Gia. Wanting to feel Nikolas inside of her and before rationalization took hold of her Gia softly nodded giving herself to Nikolas. Feeling her slight nod Nikolas quickly and wordlessly led Gia to his bedroom. Standing beside the plush king sized bed Nikolas took Gia again in his arms kissing away any resolve that may have remained. Pulling away to look again into her eyes Nikolas slowly undressed Gia until she stood nude before him.
Baby I can give to you any way you like it
You just let me know
I'm giving you the key so you can ride me fast or slow
Cuz on this ride of love, we're gonna go
To places you and I ain't never been before
Baby imagine me kissing all over you
Your body's trembling, I know you're feeling me
Ooh I know it's getting serious
And I'm tired of being curious
Cuz my body is filled with lust
Can't take it no more I am about to explode
Inhaling deeply Nikolas took in all of Gia amazed by her beauty. Slowly shaking his head in awe Nikolas came into Gia again craving the softness of her lips. Moving her hands slowly down his body Gia hands came to rest at his towel as it rested dangerously low on his hips. Covering her hand with his Nikolas helped as Gia undid the knot letting the towel puddle at his feet. Stepping away from Gia Nikolas allowed her to take in the sight of him before leading her to the bed. The image of Gia nude on his bed with her hair sprawled around her stirred something deep within Nikolas moving him quickly to her. Taking a small foot into his hand Nikolas slowly moved up her body littering her calves and legs with soft kisses. Coming to the center of her Nikolas paused breathing deeply the smell of her. Needing to add taste to her smell Nikolas gently kissed her outer lips before plunging his tongue deeply into her. With the warmth and feel of his tongue in her Gia moaned his name as she grabbed fistfuls of his hair determined to keep him there.
I wanna make love, sweet love, all night long to the rising of the sun
With your body close to mine it feels so right , don't let go of me
I wanna make love , sweet love, all night long to the rising of the sun
With your body close to mine it feels so right don't let go of me
As she slowly began to move her hips to the movements of his tongue Gia softly and steadily chanted his name over and over. Sensing she was close to release Nikolas gently captured her clitoris rolling his tongue across it. As her legs tightened around his shoulders Nikolas again buried his face in her core tasting all of her. Feeling as her body jerked, her orgasm taking hold of her Nikolas smiled collecting her juices as they flowed on his tongue. The taste of her on his tongue Nikolas was ready to share all with Gia. Joining his mouth with hers again Gia greedily drank of the fluids he willingly shared with her. Pulling away from her Nikolas stared down at Gia knowing that he had never seen anything as beautiful as she. Rolling off her Nikolas fumbled in his nightstand retrieving some protection before coming back to her
I wanna make love , sweet love , all night long to the rising of the sun
With your body close to mine it feels so right , don't let go of me
I wanna make love , sweet love, all night long to the rising of the sun
With your body close to mine it feels so right don't let go of me
Her excitement building as Nikolas tore open the condom package with his teeth Gia opened her legs to him ready to feel him within her. As Nikolas quickly positioned himself over Gia he again looked down needing to see her face as he entered her.
Girl the chemistry between us, I can't explain
I love to hear call my name
I can see it in your eyes that you want me too
Don't you be afraid of what I'm gonna do to you
Girl the tears you cry are out of happiness
Pleasure instead of loneliness
Baby every single part of me inside of you
Pleasing you , teasing you, making sweet love
Passionately kissing Gia Nikolas entered her momentarily losing himself in the sensations being one with her gave him. Wrapping her legs around his waist as they were joined Gia moaned as each stroke sent shivers down her spine. Long, hard, deep strokes and Gia could not get enough. As Nikolas slowly moved within Gia Nikolas again kissed her breasts, hardening each nipple with his tongue. A look came over his face and Nikolas flashed a devilish grin intent on pleasuring and teasing Gia in every way. Changing the rhythm of his lovemaking alternating between fast short thrusts to long slow hard strokes Nikolas was slowly to bringing Gia to tears. As her silent tears fell Gia wrapped her legs tighter around him matching him stroke by stroke thrust by thrust. Having still the need to be closer to her Nikolas gently placed her legs on his shoulders giving him greater access. Deeply plunging steadily in and out of her Nikolas took hold of Gia’s hands as they clawed at his back. Intertwining his fingers with hers they moved together bringing the other to their climax.
I wanna make love , sweet love , all night long to the rising of the sun
With your body close to mine it feels so right , don't let go of me
I wanna make love , sweet love, all night long to the rising of the sun
With your body close to mine it feels so right don't let go of me
Collapsing on her spent from their lovemaking Nikolas looked at Gia unsure of what to say. Her legs still wrapped around him Nikolas attempted to move stopping only when Gia slowly shook her head. Realizing Gia was still not ready to break their connection Nikolas softly placed tiny kisses on her face tasting the saltiness of her tears. Releasing one of her hands Nikolas tenderly wiped her tears away not knowing what to say. With a small nod of her head Nikolas quickly moved off of Gia wrapping her in his arms silently comforting her while silently wondered the cause of her tears. Feeling as Nikolas slowly drifted off to sleep the tears Gia long tried to hold off began to flow once again.
Song ~ Sweet Love – 112 (Part III)
Chapter 16
As Nikolas’s arm draped lazily across her nude body Gia covered her mouth still not believing what she had done. Kissing Nikolas let alone having sex with him had definitely not been part of her plans when she decided to go to his hotel room to confront him. She was angry and she wanted him to know that but the second he opened the door all thought and logic left her. Yet again she had lowered herself and her standards but for what? Slowly shaking her head Gia knew the better question was why. Feeling her tears again well Gia slowly moved away from Nikolas careful not to wake him. Quietly moving around the room Gia gathered her clothes hoping to leave before Nikolas woke. Unfortunately luck was not on her side and Nikolas slowly opened his eyes watching her as she dressed.
Nikolas- [softly] What are you doing?
Gia- [softly] Go back to sleep Nikolas...
Nikolas- Gia...
Gia- I gotta... I’m going home.
Nikolas- Why?
Gia- Because this... [shaking her head willing her tears away] I need to go home.
Nikolas- Gia... is something wrong?
Gia- [looking down] I shouldn’t have...
Nikolas- You shouldn’t have done what?
Gia- [shaking her head] It’s late and...
Nikolas- [extending his hand] Then stay here until the morning...
Locking eyes with Nikolas as she looked up Gia was confused as to what she read. In his eyes she could almost sense a longing and need for her to stay but surely she had to be wrong. Surely she was just another woman whom he had slept with and she like all the rest could and would be easily replaced.
Nikolas- [softly as he slowly sat up] Please... I want you to stay.
Gia- I can’t...
Nikolas- Why?
Gia- Nikolas... this was… this was a mistake.
Nikolas- Says who?
Gia- [shaking her head] I didn’t come here for this…
Nikolas- Then why else would you come to my room?
Gia- [softly] I was upset and...
Nikolas- And you could have called me in the morning. Gia... there was nothing wrong in what we did...
Gia- [quietly] But this wasn’t supposed to happen...
Nikolas- Says who?
Gia- [shaking her head] I gotta go...
As Gia turned to leave Nikolas quickly rose from the bed grabbing some boxers dressing as he followed behind her. Grabbing her as she reached for the door Nikolas turned Gia to him kissing her once again.
Nikolas- [softly in between kisses] Stay with me Gia...
Gia- [softly] I can’t...
As Nikolas pulled Gia in for another kiss Gia used the last of her fleeting resolve and ran out of the penthouse rushing to the elevator praying it would come and envelope her before Nikolas could catch up to her. Thankfully the elevator arrived and once inside the safety of the elevator Gia allowed herself a few seconds to ponder all that happened that night.
Gia- [softly to herself] Why did you do that?
As she reached the lobby Gia silently thanked God that her “ordeal” would soon finally be over. Lost in thought not watching where she was headed Gia ran into the brick wall that was Jason.
Jason- Whoa... slow it down...
Gia- [softly] Sorry... I’m so sorry...
Jason- [smiling] It’s ok...
Gia- [nodding] Ok...
Jason- [taking in her haphazard appearance] Where are you coming from?
Gia- Sonny... I was here to see Sonny and...
Jason- Sonny’s not here... he’s at the warehouse...
Gia- I... I know... well I realize that now...
Jason- Gia... is everything all right?
Gia- Of course... [faking a smile] why... why would you ask me that?
Jason- You seem off... I mean...
Gia- Jason... I’m fine.
Jason- Gia...
Gia- [shaking her head] I gotta go... I’ll... I’ll see you around ok...
Before Jason could question her further Gia was gone. Something was definitely off and Jason wanted to know what it was. Quickly dialing the one other person who might know what was bothering her Jason searched for answers.
Jason- Jake?
Jake- Yeah boss?
Jason- You were on Ms. Campbell tonight right?
Jake- Yeah...
Jason- Where did she go?
Jake- Luke’s... the PC Grille...
Jason- Why? Was she alone?
Jake- No... Gia...
Jason- [correcting him] Ms. Campbell...
Jake- Ms. Campbell and that Kamar kid met up with some friends.
Jason- Who?
Jake- The Spencer kid, the Webber girl, your sister and...
Jason- I just saw her at the PC Hotel... why?
Jake- On her way to the cottage she turned around and headed back there.
Jason- Why?
Jake- I assume it was to go back and see the other guy that was with them tonight.
Jason- What other guy?
Jake- I believe his name is Nikolas Cassadine...
Jason- [remembering Emily introducing him] Cassadine?
Jake- Yeah... he’s in Penthouse 2.
Jason- Penthouse 2 huh?
Jake- Yeah... had the desk check it out.
Jason- [nodding as he headed towards the elevator] You still on her?
Jake- Yeah... I’m still far away enough so she don’t know I’m here.
Jason- Good... stay on her until Sonny tells you not to.
Jake- I will boss...
Jason- I’ll check back with you later...
Jake- [as Jason ended the call] Ok...
Jason waited impatiently for the elevator to arrived ready to speak with Nikolas to see what he did to upset Gia.
Nikolas was befuddled by Gia’s reaction to their lovemaking. Though the tears shocked him the last thing he expected was for Gia to jump up and practically run out of his penthouse. Wanting to follow behind Gia Nikolas quickly returned to his room grabbing the nearest clothes he could find. As he rushed to dress himself Nikolas again heard pounding on his door. Hoping it was Gia returning Nikolas hurried to the door his shirt still in his hand.
Nikolas- [as he quickly opened the door] Gia?
Jason- [frowning] No...
Nikolas- I apologize... is there something I can help you with?
Jason- [looking around the penthouse] We’ll see...
Nikolas- What do you want?
Jason- You don’t need to worry about that...
Nikolas- [confused] Maybe I should... why are you here?
Jason- I think I’m the one who should be asking questions.
Nikolas- Either state you business or leave. I have other issues to deal with.
Jason- How do you know Gia?
Nikolas- Excuse me?
Jason- What is your business with Gia?
Nikolas- Whatever it is… it is ours... not yours. I think you should leave.
Jason- [stopping Nikolas as he attempted to close his door] I don’t think so...
Pushing his way into the room Jason stood face to face with Nikolas trying to read him. Shaking his head knowing his opportunity to follow Gia was now gone Nikolas slowly closed his door behind Jason.
Nikolas- [slipping his shirt on as he slowly closed the door walking toward his bar] I guess inviting you stay would now be a mute point.
Jason- What?
Nikolas- [nearing his bar] Can I offer you something to drink?
Jason- This isn’t a social call...
Nikolas- [slowly sipping his drink] Fine...
Jason- [staring intently at Nikolas] I’m only gonna say this to you once...
Nikolas- And that would be?
Jason- Stay away from Gia...
Nikolas- [slowly sitting on his couch] And why pray tell should I?
Jason- I’m not going to let you hurt Gia...
Nikolas- I have no plans to.
Jason- [walking towards the door] Just stay away from her.
Nikolas- [continuing to sip his drink] And if I choose not to?
Jason- [gruffly] You don’t have a choice...
Nikolas- [slowly smiling] There is always a choice even if [nodding his head at Jason] "others" choose not to see them.
Jason- Gia doesn’t need you...
Nikolas- How do you know what Gia needs?
Jason- I know...
Nikolas- Who are you to Gia? Another brother or...
Jason- I’m a friend...
Nikolas- Well Jason... does Gia know that her "friend" is in my penthouse attempting to defend her honor?
Jason- That don’t matter... whether Gia knows I’m here or not...
Nikolas- I guess it is safe for me to assume that the answer is no.
Jason- I’m watching you...
Nikolas- As well you should...
Jason- Stay away...
Nikolas- Gia is very beautiful but more than that she is an adult. Who are you to say who she can and can not see? Who are you to try and warn me away from her?
Jason- I’m somebody you don’t want to cross.
Nikolas- And I’m somebody you don’t want to cross.
Slowly crossing his legs Nikolas continued to stare at Jason amused by his attempt at intimidation. Surely he did not expect Nikolas to be frightened away by a few words spoken with a scowl. Nikolas knew that Jason too would be easy to ruin and now it was simply a matter only if Nikolas wished to waste his time with him.
Nikolas- [slowly smiling as he raised an eyebrow] Is there something else you wish to say?
Jason- [frowning as he turned to leave] Just remember what I said...
Nikolas- [watching as he left] And you remember what I said.
After Jason stormed out of his door Nikolas continued to sit unable to stop thinking about Gia and all of the men and madness that seemed to swirl around her. Shaking thoughts of her out his head Nikolas tried to focus on his reasons for returning... his reasons for being in Port Charles in the first place. The destruction of Luke, Stefan, and more importantly Lucky should be first in his thought process. Their downfall should be the only thing he thought of but walking slowly back to his room taking in his disheveled bed and the scent of Gia still on his sheets Nikolas knew that it would be useless to try to think of anything other than her tonight.
As Gia slowly parked her car the darkness and quiet of the cottage was both a welcome relief and unwanted burden. Things between Nikolas and her happened too fast and the thoughts and feelings she forever tried to mask came rushing back to her. Feeling as tears threatened even before she opened the door Gia was momentarily happy to see the flashing light of her answering machine blinking. If even for a few minutes she was spared from her thoughts and she silently thanked whoever was thoughtful enough to give her this temporary reprieve.
Gia’s voice ~ This is Gia... as you can tell I’m not here so leave a message and I’ll get back to you...
Lucky ~ Hey Gia... this is Lucky. I’m just calling... I wanted to call and tell you how sorry I am. I didn’t think tonight would turn out like it did. Emily, Elizabeth, and Nikolas were all wrong and I apologize for that. If I would’ve known... [a heavy sigh] next time... next time it’ll just be you and me... we’ll go to Luke’s and the Grille and do it up the right way… the way it should have been done tonight. Call me tomorrow so I can apologize again... I put that in there to make you smile... I hope it worked... but really call me...
Kamar ~ Hey G... it’s a little after one and your not home yet. I hope that means you’re still out partying and doing yo thang. Hey but you better not be dancing with somebody else the way you were dancing with me I just might get jealous. I’ll call you tomorrow and you can tell me how the "duds" acted once I left. I’m sure you got a lot to tell a brother. All right girl... go sleep off your hangover.
As the messages ended Gia sat on the couch again losing herself in her tears. Despite all that she had and all that seemed to be going for her Gia knew she was still alone. And no matter how hard she covered for those around her when Gia was by herself her tears were her only release of the pain loneliness caused her. Bringing her knees closer to her chest as she wrapped her arms tightly around them Gia knew that sleep was far away from her and her thoughts were all she had to "comfort" her through the night.
