New Year’s Eve
8:59 p.m.
Gia sat at the edge of their bed dressed in only a robe determined not to attend Deception’s New Year’s Eve party. Every since her decision to step aside as Deception’s spokesmodel it seemed as if everything was rushing at her all at once. And what was more shocking than Laura’s seemingly lack of surprise or disappointment was the fact that she, Laura, had already found her replacement. And now it seemed as if her supposed replacement was attending and showing up at every Deception event and/or photo shoot. Damn it Gia still had at least six months left on her contract but if she didn’t know any better she would think Laura wanted her out now. Well if that’s what she wanted…
Nikolas- [interrupting her thoughts as he entered the room] Gia are you ready to go? [seeing her state of undress] Why aren’t you dressed yet?
Gia- [folding her arms across her chest] I’m not going…
Nikolas- [softly] Sparky…
Gia- [shaking her head] Don’t "Sparky" me… I’m sure your mom won’t miss me…
Nikolas- But I will…
Gia- [cocking her head to the side] You would go without me?
Nikolas- [softly] I have to…
Gia- Nikolas…
Nikolas- [shaking his head] Cassadine Industries as well as Deception Cosmetics are both making huge donations to the hospital fund. I have to be there to present it…
Gia- [shrugging] Well I hope you have fun…
Nikolas- Spark… [stopping as she slowly raised an eyebrow at her nickname] Gia…
Gia- I’ll be here when you return…
Nikolas- Gia please…
Gia- This is not how I want to spend my New Year’s Eve…
Nikolas- What would you prefer to do?
Gia- My mom always told me that the very thing you are doing at the stroke of midnight is what you will be doing the rest of the year…
Nikolas- [softly] What do you want to be doing when…
Gia- [softly as she quickly licked at her lips] What do you think?
Nikolas- [softly] Sparky…
Gia- [slowly smiling] Think about it Nikolas… the two of us making love all night long. And at the stroke of midnight we will be in and with each other the only way that really matters…
Nikolas- [softly] Baby we can’t…
Gia- It’s not like anyone is going to miss us…
Nikolas- You keep saying that… where is this coming from?
Gia- Nikolas I know Laura is your mother and all…
Nikolas- But?
Gia- If she was any more in love with this Courtney chick I would think they were the couple getting married…
Nikolas- [stifling his laugh] It’s not that bad is it?
Gia- [pouting] Yes…
Nikolas- Well what if I promise you that we will leave as soon as I present the check?
Gia- [softly] Nikolas…
Nikolas- [gently taking her by the hand bringing her to him] That’s the best I can do Gia… [quickly kissing her cheek] we’ll get home by 12:30 at the latest and we can turn the clocks back and do all the things you suggested.
Gia- Nik…
Nikolas- [softly caressing her cheek] Sparky please…
Gia- [sighing] Fine…
Nikolas- [softly smiling] Thank you…
Gia- [frowning] Whatever…
Nikolas- Get dressed and we can leave…
Moving to the side Nikolas watched as Gia slowly undid her robe. As her naked skin came into view all thoughts of the party and Cassadine Industries flew from Nikolas’s head. Locking eyes with him Gia slowly pulled the flimsy material of her underwear over her hips. Going quickly to her as she reached for her dress Nikolas took her hand instead. Wrapping her in his arms Nikolas lightly kissed her shoulder as he softly whispered to her.
Nikolas- [whispering] You are so beautiful…
Gia- [softly] Nikolas…
Nikolas- [gently kissing her shoulder still] Maybe we shouldn’t go…
Gia- No… [shaking her head] maybe we shouldn’t…
Gently cupping her breasts Nikolas gently fondles and caressed each nipple into hardening. His excitement growing as he watched his maneuverings take effect of Gia Nikolas lowered his head gently taking each hardened peak into his mouth. Her moans an accompaniment for his steady sucking Nikolas coaxed excited gasps from Gia as he quickly flicked his tongue across her sensitive mounds. Kissing a steady trail back to her mouth Nikolas claim Gia’s mouth as his own as he tightly enfolded her in his embrace. Sliding his able tongue between her parted lips Nikolas hungrily feasted on the flavors in her mouth. As his hand moved to the waistband of her underwear Gia quickly covered his hands with her own stilling his movements. Reluctantly pulling away Gia stared up at Nikolas as they both struggled to steady their breathing.
Gia- [breathlessly] We can’t do this now…
Nikolas- Gia… we’re already late and…
Gia- [shaking her head] After the Cassadine donation we can do this and more…
Nikolas- [softly as he caressed the length of her arm] Sparky please…
Pushing away from Nikolas Gia quickly retrieved her barely there dress draping the slinky material on her body. Fastening quickly her strappy heels Gia stood locking eyes with Nikolas seeing the want and desire still lingering in his eyes.
Gia- [quickly kissing him] Nikolas…
Nikolas- [smiling] You look amazing…
Gia- [taking him by the hand] Come on before I change my mind…
As they slowly made their way to the party the back seat of the limousine gave both Gia and Nikolas a preview of what was to come.
10:47 p.m.
Gia checked her watch for at least the fifth time in the past ten minutes praying time would move faster. As she predicted Laura was fawning and falling over every word out of Courtney’s mouth. Why… Gia did not know. From what she could see of her Courtney had to be one of the blandest people she had met since coming to Port Charles. Her hair was lifeless and no amount of make-up could make her even remotely attractive. Hell she was worse than Elizabeth when it came to working the camera and that in itself was saying a lot. Being Lucky’s latest plaything had to be the only reason she got the job. That or Laura was slowly losing what little mind she had left. Trying her best to hide her smile Gia was unaware of Nikolas watching her.
Nikolas- [softly as he whispered beside her ear] Careful Sparky… everyone will figure out what you are thinking…
Gia- [softly] Where were you? One second you were beside me and…
Nikolas- [caressing the small of her back] Cassadine business…
Gia- But you just left me with…
Nikolas- [lightly kissing the back of her neck] Well if you really want to be out of here by 12:30 I had to work the room now…
Gia- [softly] Oh…
Nikolas- [softly as he kissed her exposed shoulder] Oh…
Gia- [breathlessly] Nikolas…
Nikolas- [whispering gently beside her ear] I don’t know if I will be able to make it…
Gia- [slowly turning towards him] We don’t have to…
Nikolas- [softly] Gia…
Gia- [taking his hand] Come on…
Leading him quickly to an outside patio Gia quickly covered Nikolas’ mouth with hers kissing him hungrily as her hands roamed over his body. Returning the favor Nikolas’ hands slowly traveled the length of her back as he gently cupped her rounded bottom pulling her closer to him. Pressed close to him Gia softly moaned as his hands found the swell of her breasts. Moving his hands over the curves of her Nikolas broke their kiss as he slowly trailed kisses and licks down her throat. Kissing slowly her exposed skin Nikolas was suddenly jerked from behind by an unexpected source.
Courtney- [cheerfully] Oh hey Nikolas…
Nikolas- [softly as he slowly pulled away from Gia] Courtney…
Courtney- How long have you been here?
Nikolas- [still looking down at Gia] Excuse me?
Courtney- I didn’t see you come in and…
Nikolas- [turning towards her] Is there something you wanted?
Courtney- [shaking her head] Not really… I just wanted to see your face…
Nikolas- For what?
Courtney- [smiling] I don’t know… it’s just something about you that makes me smile and…
Gia- [stepping from behind Nikolas] What?
Courtney- [smiling] Oh I didn’t see you there… did I interrupt something or…
Gia- I think you better back up cupcake…
Courtney- Huh?
Gia- It’s bad enough you already pretty much have my job but I’ll be damned if you try you move in on Nikolas as well…
Courtney- [feigning innocence] I didn’t mean…
Gia- Shouldn’t you and Laura be discussing your coming out party or something?
Courtney- I… I guess… I’ll see you around Nikolas…
Gia- [softly] Don’t count on it…
As Courtney disappeared into a the party a smiling Nikolas turned to Gia softly questioning her.
Nikolas- [smiling] Now was that really necessary?
Gia- [folding her arms across her chest] Yes…
Nikolas- Sparky…
Gia- She’s not as naive as she tries to make herself appear… she knew what we were out here doing…
Nikolas- Maybe she thought I was with someone else…
Gia- [playfully hitting him] Yeah whatever… nobody else at this party wants you…
Nikolas- [gently enclosing her in his arms] Only you huh?
Gia- [smiling as she wrapped her arms around him] Yeah only me…
Nikolas- [leaning in to gently kiss her] Good…
As their lips slowly met they were again interrupted by an embarrassed Alexis needing to speak to Nikolas. With quick apologies Nikolas kissed Gia softly before moving away from her leaving her alone again.
11:55 p.m.
Shaking her again at Laura and Courtney’s actions Gia slowly wandered away from their ever-growing fan club. The last thing she wanted to see at the stroke of midnight was those two hemming and hawing for the cameras. Whatever called Nikolas away from her must have been important because she had not seen him since their time on the patio. Even though it was her job to announce the changing of the year to the crowd she was sure that Courtney would be more than happy to do it. Walking slowly through the building Gia found herself at Laura’s office door and without hesitation she quickly slipped inside closing the door behind her. Sinking into Laura’s chair she sighed relaxing for the first time that night. Leaning back as she slowly closed her eyes thoughts and images of what she would rather be doing flashed across her mind. The image of a smiling naked Nikolas dancing in her head brought an instantaneous smile to her face. Leaning back further as more thoughts came to her Gia rested her crossed feet on the edge of Laura’s desk. Opening her eyes spying only Lucky’s photo smiling back at her Gia quickly kicked his picture off the desk shocked that Laura had only his picture on her desk. Shaking her head she slowly closed her eyes again ready to lose herself in thoughts of Nikolas again. Hearing the door slowly opening Gia braced herself for Laura’s tirade on her remaining responsibilities for Deception. Only silence greeting her Gia slowly opened her eyes to find a smiling Nikolas leaned against the door staring back at her.
Gia- [smiling] Well?
Nikolas- [smiling] You look so good sitting in that chair.
Gia- [arching an eyebrow] How good is so good?
With a slow nod Nikolas moved away from the door closing it behind him as he walked towards Gia. With no words spoken Nikolas came to stand in front of Gia offering his hand to her. Smiling as she took his hand Nikolas helped Gia up standing her in front of him. Slowly running his finger down her face Nikolas gently cupped Gia’s head as he pulled her face into his. Joining their lips in a tender kiss Nikolas gently wrapped her in his arms holding her close to him. Her mouth opening to him Gia lazily moved her tongue against his as her hands played in his hair. Moving his hands down her body Nikolas displaced the straps on her dress baring her shoulders to his wanting mouth. Running his tongue along her shoulder blade Nikolas pulled away from Gia staring intently into her eyes. Her lips swollen from his steady kisses and the want evident in her eyes Nikolas moved away from her pushing the remaining items off of Laura’s desk. Coming back to Gia Nikolas again enclosed her in his arms taking her in impassioned kiss as his hands began to again roam and caress all of her. As his hands roamed Gia quickly done away with his jacket and tie before unbuttoning his shirt. His chest exposed to her now Gia slowly ran her hands over his muscled torso as she moved down his body. Coming to the waistband of his pants Gia quickly undid the closure before slipping her hand inside enclosing his enlarged member in her hand. Breaking their kiss Nikolas looked intently into Gia’s eyes as she slowly stroked him hardening him still with her delicate touch. Slipping his hands beneath her dress Nikolas slowly ran his fingers over the flimsy material of her thong before wordlessly helping her to remove them from her body. His fingers moving back to her to dance quickly across her drenched mound Nikolas softly smiled as he heard the sharp intake of breath coming from Gia. Moving his hands away Nikolas returned to the straps of her dress lowering them still exposing now her rigid and ready nubs for his pleasing. Taking a hardened nub into his mouth Nikolas slowly moved his tongue across her nipple until he heard Gia softly cry out. Ready to tease her other nipple in the same manner Nikolas was momentarily shocked as Gia pushed him unto the desk ready to take their stolen moment to the next level. Her eyes locked to his Gia quickly pulled Nikolas’ pants and underwear down his body before she climbed on the desk straddling him. Positioning herself over his engorged member Gia eased down on him moaning as he slowly filled her body. Frozen by the shear luxury of him encased deep within her Gia momentarily did not move until she felt his tender touch on waist as he pumped up into her. Bracing her hands on his chest Gia slowly began to ride him moving in tune with each thrust he sent up into her. Wanting to feel, touch, and taste still more of her Nikolas pushed and pulled at her dress until it was finally off of her body. Pulling her to him Nikolas buried his face and mouth in the valley of her breasts licking and tasting all of her. Hearing her soft murmurs of more Nikolas quickly reversed their positions with him now on top pumping into her. Her legs wrapping around his waist they moved together as they faintly heard the sounds and cheers of partygoers counting down to the beginning of a new year. And as the clock struck midnight and the fireworks began to explode Nikolas exploded deep within Gia as he called out her name over and over again. A soft smile covering his face Nikolas looked down at Gia as he softly whispered to her.
Nikolas- [whispering] Happy New Year Sparky…
Gia- [whispering as she wrapped her arms around his neck] Happy New Year Nikolas…
Nikolas- I guess we both got what we wanted huh?
Gia- [smiling] Yeah you can say that…
Nikolas- [softly laughing] Yeah… I guess I can…
Leaning down Nikolas again captured her mouth in a kiss as he lay nestled deep within her. Finally easing from her Nikolas stood picking Gia up and carrying her to the couch on the other side of Laura’s office in no rush to dress and/or leave. Laying her gently on the couch Nikolas slowly kissed down Gia’s body tasting the sheen their lovemaking produced. Opening her legs Nikolas lightly licked at her lost in the taste of her. Moving his tongue slowly in and out of her Nikolas softly smiled as he felt Gia’s hands in his head as she pulled him in deeper in nectar. Hearing her soft moans Nikolas joined a finger with his tongue taking her pleasure to higher level. And as her hips slowly moved in rhythm with his tongue and finger the door suddenly opened to Laura and Courtney discussing the evening events.
Laura- [angrily] I don’t know where Gia disappeared to tonight but it was in very poor taste for her not to welcome in the new year as she was slated to do. Thank goodness you were there to handle the job…
Courtney- Yes I happily did what Gia obviously did not want to do.
Laura- Let me get these early termination papers from my desk and…
Courtney- [finally eyeing the scattered papers] What happened to your office?
Seeing the scattered papers and the discarded clothing as well as hearing the whimpered moans coming from the direction of the couch a red faced Laura turned and ushered a confused Courtney out of the room.
Courtney- Laura what…
Her question was cut off as Gia softly cried out Nikolas name and his laughter soon followed. Hearing them in the heat of passion Courtney and Laura turned to each other neither knowing what to say and yet neither making the move to go. Easing into her slowly Nikolas again brought he and Gia to ecstasy and euphoria each crying out over and over. Slumping against her Nikolas softly smiled as Gia softly spoke to him.
Gia- Does this mean I’m fired?
Nikolas- I don’t know… what’s the penalty for making love on your bosses…
Gia- [softly] And don’t forget soon-to-be mother-in-law…
Nikolas- [smiling] Of course…
Gia- I don’t think having sex on her desk is a good thing…
Nikolas- Well it certainly wasn’t a bad thing…
Gia- [smiling] You got that right…
Nikolas- [slowly rising] Come on let’s get dressed so we can finish this at home.
Gia- You got something else planned for me?
Nikolas- Yes…
Gia- I think I’m liking the sound of this…
Nikolas- And to think we won’t be interrupted at home…
Gia- [smiling] Well since you say it like that…
Quickly dressing Nikolas and Gia walked out of Laura’s office arm in arm shocked to see Courtney and Laura’s stunned faces waiting outside the door.
Laura- I uhh…
Courtney- [slowly shaking her head] We ummm…
Nikolas- [slowly smiling] Happy New Year you two…
Laura- I… we…
Gia- [softly smiling] Yeah Happy New Year…
Without another word Nikolas wrapped his arm around Gia’s waist leading her out of the building to their waiting car without a backward glance at his mother or Courtney. Once safely in their limousine they both erupted into a fit of giggles as they recalled the look on Laura and Courtney’s faces.
Nikolas- [laughing] I think that was the prettiest shade of red I’ve ever seen my mother wearing…
Gia- [laughing] Yeah it was…
Nikolas- And Courtney…
Gia- I’m gonna have to beat off with a stick now…
Nikolas- [smiling] I don’t know I might like that…
Gia- [laughing] Shut up…
Nikolas- [softly smiling] Happy New Year Sparky…
Gia- [smiling] Happy New Year Nikolas…
