Come Round Midnight
Sequel to Love’s Countdown
By: DrmKpr

Staring out into the darkened sky as Gia continued to dress and ready herself for the party ahead Nikolas silently wondered what he could do to get out of this night. After last New Year’s Eve the last thing Nikolas wanted to do was spend the night surrounded by hundreds of people he cared little about. Though they were able to sneak away and come together when the time was right he didn’t want to spend another night separated from Gia only to see and talk to her minutes at a time. To be able to spend the entire night loving and being with her and only her he was willing to give practically anything. Hearing her come into the room Nikolas did his best to cover his thoughts turning to her watching as she sat putting on her strapping stilettos. Feeling his gaze on her Gia looked up smiling in Nikolas’ direction as she quickly spoke to him.

Gia- Are you ready yet? We were supposed to be there thirty minutes ago…
Nikolas- [sighing] Yeah I’m ready…
Gia- [hearing his tone of voice] What’s wrong Nikolas?
Nikolas- [shaking his head] Nothing…
Gia- Nikolas what is it? I can tell there’s something wrong…
Nikolas- Why are we going there tonight? I mean do we really have to celebrate with…
Gia- Nikolas please… I know you are not complaining about us spending New Year’s Eve at Club 101…
Nikolas- [slowly approaching her] Why can’t it just be the two of us? Can’t we just cancel all of our plans and stay here… [gently kissing her neck] you and me…[tenderly kissing her shoulder] together… [lightly nibbling her ear] alone…
Gia- [reluctantly pushing away from him] No…
Nikolas- No?
Gia- Last year when I wanted to stay in and not go out what did you say?
Nikolas- That was last year…
Gia- [moving away from him] And this is this year… this might be the last time all of us get to hang out together besides I sorta helped Carly put this party together… I can’t not be there…
Nikolas- Ok I can understand Lucky, Courtney, and even Elizabeth but Zander…
Gia- [shaking her head] Hey I had to put up with your mother and Courtney last year…
Nikolas- [softly whining] But Zander…
Gia- [trying not to laugh] Come on Nikolas…

Sighing knowing he was defeated Nikolas gathered he and Gia’s coat helping her into hers before leaving. Silent for most of their trip to Club 101 Nikolas sat brooding as thoughts of Zander and the night that lay ahead flashed in his head. Sensing his mood Gia gently touched Nikolas’ arm questioning him of his attitude.

Gia- [softly] What wrong now?
Nikolas- [angrily] Zander wants you…
Gia- [softly] What?
Nikolas- Zander has a serious thing for you…
Gia- [laughing] Whatever…
Nikolas- I know what I see…
Gia- [shrugging] Ok even if he does… I don’t want him…
Nikolas- [softly] Who do you want?
Gia- [sighing] The knucklehead I’m with now…
Nikolas- [smiling] Knucklehead?
Gia- [smiling] Did I stutter?
Nikolas- [slowly shaking his head] I love you Sparky…
Gia- You better…
Nikolas- I do…
Gia- Ok… what if I promise we’ll be out of there by 12:30…
Nikolas- Gia you know once you start talking your lawyer mumbo jumbo there’s no stopping you…
Gia- [slowly raising an eyebrow] Mumbo jumbo… who have you been spending time with?
Nikolas- [smirking] Courtney…
Gia- [punching him in the arm] Very funny Nikolas…
Nikolas- [laughing] Don’t leave me standing around by myself…
Gia- [nodding] Like you did me last year…
Nikolas- Yeah but I made it up to you didn’t I?
Gia- Yeah… [mumbling] barely…
Nikolas- [turning to look at her] Barely?
Gia- [pointing towards the traffic ahead] Watch the road Nikolas…
Nikolas- [softly as he turned his attention back to the road] Barely huh…

Smiling as he continued mumbling to himself Gia sat back enjoying the remainder of the ride to Club 101. As she and Carly hoped the club was packed with the young and hip of Port Charles and Nikolas and Gia were quickly submerged in the party. Forcing a smile as Lucky, Elizabeth, Courtney, and Zander made their way to them Nikolas watched as Zander’s eyes feasted on Gia. His arm moving around her waist Nikolas shot Zander a warning look marking Gia as his own. Yet as the toast continued to come and bottles of champagne continued to flow Nikolas and Gia somehow became separated each on opposite sides of the club. Staring as Zander moved closer to Gia softly touching the small of her back before slowly inching his hand up her back Nikolas shook his head not believing Gia would allow Zander such intimacies. Caressing the tender skin of her shoulder Zander leaned into Gia softly whispering her ear Nikolas’ blood began to boil. And observing as a tender smile crossed her face as she laughed at whatever ridiculous snippet Zander whispered to her Nikolas snapped ready to march over to Gia and pull her away from Zander. Calming himself thinking maybe he was overreacting to a simple conversation between friends Nikolas took another sip of his drink staring in their direction once again.

And yet watching as Zander continued to whisper into Gia’s ear Nikolas’ patience quickly waned. Continuing to ignore the conversation swirling around him Nikolas continued to stare in their direction inhaling deeply to control his anger as Zander stared back at him with a definite smirk on his face. Interrupting his words Nikolas turned to Lucky excusing himself before he marched over to Gia and Zander.

Nikolas- Excuse me for a second…
Lucky- What’s going on?
Nikolas- [staring still Gia’s direction] I have to… I need to…
Lucky- [following Nikolas’ stares] Let it go man…
Nikolas- Let what go?
Lucky- They’re just talking that’s all…
Nikolas- [slowly raising an eyebrow] Just talking?
Lucky- Gia wouldn’t do that to you…
Nikolas- Yeah… [looking quickly at Lucky] it’s not Gia I’m worried about…

Walking away before Lucky could comment again Nikolas quickly left headed in Zander and Gia’s direction. Momentarily stopped by both Courtney and Elizabeth Nikolas finally came up behind an obviously amazed yet distracted Gia. Kissing her softly on her neck Nikolas softly whispered in Gia’s ear surprising her by his closeness.

Nikolas- [whispering] Miss me?
Gia- [slowly smiling] Of course…
Nikolas- You seemed rather entertained…
Gia- [slowly nodding] I was…
Zander- [smiling] I do what I can do…
Nikolas- [flatly as he stared at Zander over Gia’s shoulder] Yeah I bet…
Gia- You and Lucky have a good conversation?
Nikolas- Yeah…
Zander- [slowly smiling] So did we…
Nikolas- [flatly] Did you?
Zander- Yeah… Gia’s an amazing amazing woman… I could talk to her all night…
Nikolas- [shaking his head] That’s not going to happen…
Zander- [slowly smiling] You never know…
Nikolas- What does that mean?
Zander- [laughing] You tell me…
Nikolas- [angrily] You know what…
Gia- [sensing Nikolas’ anger] Why don’t we go and get something to drink…

Pulling Nikolas away before he and Zander got into an unnecessary argument Gia lead Nikolas away in the direction of the bar. Calming as he slowly sipped his drink Nikolas’ anger flared up again as he spied Zander raising his glass in salute smiling in he and Gia’s direction. Sensing Nikolas’ attitude change once again Gia again grabbed Nikolas pulling him in an opposite direction. Walking slowly down a secluded corridor Gia pushed Nikolas into Carly’s office ready to question him about his behavior.

Gia- What’s wrong with you?
Nikolas- [angrily] I don’t like him…
Gia- You don’t like who?
Nikolas- Zander… [slowly shaking his head] the way he looks at you…
Gia- [sighing] Nikolas…
Nikolas- He wants something from you…
Gia- [hands on her hips] Well I don’t want anything from him…
Nikolas- But…
Gia- Do you really think I would hang around him if he were trying to get something from me… especially something I don’t want or plan to give?
Nikolas- No but…
Gia- [flailing her arms around as she quickly spoke] I can’t believe you would think I would even allow…

Watching as she went off on a tangent about her and Zander’s friendship Nikolas slowly smiled enchanted by her fire. Noticing his smile Gia turned questioning eyes to Nikolas, her hands on her hips, asking him about his apparent amusement.

Gia- [angrily] What’s so damn funny?
Nikolas- [softly] You…
Gia- Oh so I’m funny now?
Nikolas- [softly] You’re amazing… [slowly shaking his head] you look amazing when you’re angry…
Gia- [smirking] Whatever…
Nikolas- [smiling] Really… your cheeks flush… your eyes sparkle…
Gia- [smiling] Yeah right Nikolas…
Nikolas- Honestly… [slowly shaking his head] you look… [lightly biting his bottom lip] so damn hot…
Gia- [laughing as she slowly shook her head] You ready to go back to the party?
Nikolas- No…
Gia- Huh?
Nikolas- [slowly and seductively smiling] I got something better we can do…
Gia- [slowly shaking his head] Nikolas…
Nikolas- [softly as he extended his hand] Come on…
Gia- We have… [stuttering as Nikolas approached her] we have to…

Taking gently her hand before moving back to Carly’s desk Nikolas gently kissed the side of her neck silencing her protest. Perched on the edge of Carly’s desk Nikolas pulled Gia between his parted legs whispering to her as he attempted to persuade her in spending some private time with him before returning to the party.

Nikolas- [whispering] Sparky… do you really want to go back to the party?
Gia- [softly] Nikolas…
Nikolas- Wouldn’t you rather… [tenderly kissing the side of her neck] do this… [gently kissing the other side of her neck] or this… [gently kissing her shoulder] or…
Gia- [half-heartedly] Nikolas we can’t…
Nikolas- [slowly moving his hands down her body] We can…
Gia- [softly] Nikolas…

Hearing the want in her voice Nikolas covered her mouth with his pulling her closer as he kissed her. His hands roaming freely Nikolas tenderly covered her breasts massaging her nipples to harden through the flimsy material of her dress. Moving the fabric to the sides Nikolas slowly kissed down her body taking a ready nipple between his teeth. Flicking his tongue rapidly over her hardened flesh Nikolas smiled as Gia grabbed the back of his head pulling him closer to her. Untying her dress Nikolas allowed the material to fall at her sides before moving to her other nipple. Moving his tongue slowly over her waiting flesh Nikolas tenderly fondled her other breast before slowly moving his hands down her body. Her hands stilling his as he attempted to lower her underwear Gia moved away from Nikolas slowly shaking her head.

Gia- [softly] Baby no…
Nikolas- [whispering] Sparky…
Gia- No… [shaking her head] this isn’t… this isn’t like last time…
Nikolas- [huskily] Why?
Gia- It’s not your mother’s office…
Nikolas- [gently kissing her shoulder] So…
Gia- [softly] What if… what if someone walks in?
Nikolas- [pulling her to him again] I don’t care if you don’t care…
Gia- [whispering] Nikolas…
Nikolas- [whispering] Come on…
Gia- [softly] I…

A smile slowly moving across his face Nikolas moved his hands down to her thighs watching in delicious lust as ecstasy covered Gia’s face as his fingers moved past the fabric of her underwear and slowly into her. Moaning as his fingers moved in and out of her Gia threw her head back losing herself to the feeling. Kissing her neck Nikolas continued to pleasure Gia knowing she was close to euphoria. Calling softly her name Nikolas locked eyes with Gia as he slowly withdrew his fingers bringing them instead to his mouth licking slowly the taste of her from his digits. Biting her bottom lip as she stared at him Gia moved closer to Nikolas gently wrapping her arms around his neck bringing his mouth to hers. Running her tongue slowly over his lips Gia opened her mouth to his moaning as his tongue slowly moved against hers.

His hands again on her underwear Gia covered his aiding him in removing her panties. Gathering her underwear Nikolas brought them to his nose inhaling deeply her arousal before pulling Gia back to him. Her arms wrapped around his neck they hungrily kissed losing themselves in the moment. Guiding his hands to her warmth once again Gia widened her stance allowing Nikolas greater room to touch, feel, and please all of her. Moving his thumb slowly across her clitoris Nikolas reluctantly moved away from Gia staring up into her desire filled eyes. Placing quickly a gentle kiss on her mouth Nikolas stood whispering softly to Gia before standing.

Nikolas- [softly] Come here…

Going around to the front of Carly’s desk Nikolas sank into her chair bringing Gia in front of him. A light kiss on her stomach Nikolas directed Gia to sit in front of him on the desk widening her legs as he moved closer. Her legs open to him Nikolas placed a tender kiss on the inside of her thigh smiling softly as Gia released a slow moan. Moving closer still to her warmth Nikolas softly kissed her other thigh. Extending his tongue Nikolas slowly licked the lips of her woman before slowly easing inside. Joining his fingers and tongue Nikolas slowly opened Gia wider licking slowly and softly the fold of her skin. Her head thrown back once again Gia slowly moved against his tongue moaning as Nikolas took her higher and higher. Locking her hands behind his head Gia pulled Nikolas deeper into her calling out softly his name. Hearing his whispered words to touch and direct his tongue Gia released her hold on him moving her hands slowly up her body.

Watching from the nearby doorway Zander stood shocked and aroused as Nikolas continued to pleasure Gia. Seeing a slight movement by the door Nikolas moved away from Gia briefly locking eyes with Zander before returning to Gia. Hearing her feverishly calling his name knowing she was near completion Nikolas rose slowly undoing his pants. Glancing towards the door once again thankful that Zander was gone Nikolas lowered his pants moving closer to Gia pulling her to the edge of the desk before slowly easing into her. Wrapping her legs around his waist Nikolas placed his hands on Gia’s hips moaning as he quickly pumped into her. Lying back on the desk Gia continued to fondle and feel all lost in euphoric ecstasy. Crying out as an orgasm ripped through her Gia quickly sat up wrapping her arms tightly around Nikolas’ neck. His climax quickly following Nikolas held Gia tightly pumping steadily into her. Kissing softly her neck Nikolas slowly smiled as he whispered to her.

Nikolas- [softly] I guess we didn’t need my mother’s office huh?
Gia- [smiling] I guess not…
Nikolas- Now wasn’t that better than that damn party?
Gia- A little…
Nikolas- A little? [quickly thrusting up into Gia] There’s nothing little about anything we just did…
Gia- [smiling] I know…
Nikolas- [nodding] You know huh?
Gia- Come on… let’s go back to the party… in a couple of hours we can be back at home doing this over and over again…
Nikolas- [whining] A couple of hours?
Gia- I can’t just leave Nikolas… [gently kissing him] they’ll go fast… I promise…
Nikolas- [softly] Gia…
Gia- [softly] A couple of hours Nikolas…
Nikolas- [sighing] Fine…

Slowly redressing Nikolas stopped Gia as she attempted to put back on her underwear. Placing them in his pocket Nikolas smiled at her before helping her to finish straightening her clothes. Hand in hand they slowly returned to the party smiling as the other remained oblivious to what had just occurred. Careful to steer her away from Zander and his “conversations” Nikolas kept Gia by his side gently kissing her neck. Gently skimming his hands along her backside Nikolas smiled as he elicited a tender moan from Gia. Laughing and joking with the rest of the groups the hours seemingly flew past. Midnight nearing Zander approached Gia softly speaking to her to Nikolas’ dismay.

Zander- Enjoying yourself?
Gia- [smiling] Immensely…
Zander- That’s good…
Gia- [slowly nodding] Yeah…
Zander- [looking intently at Nikolas] Well I can make it even better…
Nikolas- Excuse you?
Zander- [laughing] I was only offering a dance…
Nikolas- Well Gia doesn’t want to…
Gia- [softly] Nikolas…
Nikolas- [softly] Gia…
Zander- Well Gia promised me a dance…
Courtney- Yeah… [pouting] Nikolas promised me one too…
Gia- [slowly raising an eyebrow] Did he?
Courtney- Yeah… [grabbing Nikolas by the arm] come on Nikolas let’s dance.

Before he could protest Courtney pulled Nikolas to the dance floor and away from Gia and Zander. Turning smiling eyes to her Zander offered his arm to Gia as he asked her again to dance.

Zander- So do you want to hit it?
Gia- [softly smiling] Hit what?
Zander- [smiling] The dance floor…
Gia- [smiling] I guess…
Zander- You guess huh?
Gia- [laughing as she grabbed his arm] Come on…

Leading him to the dance floor Gia and Zander grooved to the music [Maxwell…lol] behind them. Moving away as he continued to brush up against her Gia was thankful when the music finally slowed. Moving to go back to the their table Gia was shocked as Zander pulled her back to him. Wrapping her in his arms Zander slowly moved to the mellow music [Maxwell…lol] humming the song loudly and off-key in Gia’s ear. Frowning Gia did her best to dance with Zander praying silently for the song to end. Stilling hand hands as they moved lower on her body Gia backed away from Zander ready again to go to their table.

Gia- [slowly shaking her head] No…
Zander- [softly] I’m sorry…
Gia- Zander you’re cool and all but…
Zander- I didn’t mean to do that… I guess I got caught up in the music or something…
Gia- Yeah but we’re not having that kind of party here….
Zander- I know and I’m sorry…
Gia- [slowly nodding as she turned to leave] Yeah…
Zander- [quickly stopping her] Can we at least finish the dance…
Gia- [sighing] Zander…
Zander- [softly] Please…

Slowly nodding Gia took Zander’s hand remaining on the dance floor. Keeping his distance for the remainder of the song Gia turned to go back to the table as the music ended only to be stopped by Zander as he slowly danced to next song. Sighing she continued to dance with Zander dismayed as his hand again slowly began to move on her body. Watching the display from across the floor Nikolas pulled away from Courtney going instead in Gia and Zander’s direction. Shaking her head as his hands neared the curve of her bottom Gia was caught off guard as Nikolas quickly pulled her away from Zander. With no words spoken Nikolas guided her through the crowd leaving their coats and friends behind. Directing her into her seat Nikolas angrily slammed the door before returning to his side of the car. Jumping into the car Nikolas peeled away still too angry to speak. Looking at him as he sped through the streets Gia slowly shook her head as she attempted to speak to him.

Gia- [softly] Nikolas…
Nikolas- [shaking his head as he stared ahead] No…
Gia- What’s the matter with you?
Nikolas- I saw how he was touching you… why would you let him touch you like that?
Gia- Nikolas shut up…
Nikolas- [angrily] What?
Gia- I said shut up…
Nikolas- Why would you tell me to shut up? Here I am trying to protect you from his greasy hands. Here I am…
Gia- [softly] And here I am… [slowly undoing the ties of her dress] hot… [propping her foot on the dashboard] wet… [moaning as she slowly touched herself] and ready and you’re too busy talking about what’s-his-name…

Turning his gaze from the road Nikolas sat speechless as he fully took in Gia. Watching as she slowly moved her fingers in and out of her warmth Nikolas softly called her name shocked by her behavior.

Nikolas- [whispering] Gia…

Slowly shaking her head Gia collected Nikolas’ hand bringing them to her coaxing his to touch her. A car horn pulling his eyes from Gia Nikolas haphazardly guided the Jag back into the lane all the while still touching and pleasing Gia. Her moans filling the car Nikolas glanced quickly at Gia longing to add taste with his touch. Again a car horn pulling his gaze back to the road Nikolas steadied the car looking for a place to park. His fingers still stroking her Gia leaned over to Nikolas slowly running her tongue down his neck. Her hands moving down his body Gia released his seatbelt before easing his zipper down. Slipping her hand in his pants Gia slowly stroked his shaft as she whispering in Nikolas’ ear.

Gia- [whispering] Do you remember what we were doing last year at this time?
Nikolas- [softly] Yeah…
Gia- [softly moaning before she continued] Well it’s almost midnight…
Nikolas- Baby…
Gia- [slowly licking his earlobe] I want to feel you inside of me…
Nikolas- [breathlessly] Me too…
Gia- [whispering] I want to feel your lips on me touching and tasting me…
Nikolas- [moaning as her thumb flicked the head of his penis] Sparky…
Gia- [kissing a spot behind his ear] I want to kiss you… [gently biting his ear lobe] please you… [licking away the pain] taste you…
Nikolas- [softly] Yeah…
Gia- [softly] I want to make love to you…

Stealing a glance in her direction as they sat stopped at a red light. Locking eyes with Gia Nikolas gently covered her mouth with his. Her mouth open to his Gia quickly pumped his fingers as they worked their magic inside of her. Her hand covering his as they brought her to completion Gia cried out as ecstasy covered her. Directing him to move his seat back as far as possible Gia leaned over Nikolas slowly licking the salty preview that oozed from his shaft. Inhaling deeply as her tongue continued to skim his sensitized flesh Nikolas was pulled from euphoria by the cars honking behind him. Racing off with Gia’s head still in his lap Nikolas sped towards the private road that led to the cottage.

Rising Gia slowly kissed up Nikolas’ neck before softly nipping at his ear. Directing him to stop Gia pulled Nikolas’ face to hers hungrily kissing him as he parked the car beside a secluded patch of trees. His seat back as far as possible Gia moved towards Nikolas straddling him as best she could wanting him to be buried deep inside of her as the clock once again read midnight.

Latching on to an exposed nipple suckling hungrily her skin Nikolas ran his hands up and down Gia’s back resting them finally on her hips. Trapping her other nipple between his fingers Nikolas quickly worried it into hardening. Bringing her nub to his mouth Nikolas slowly licked her hardened nipple coaxing moans from a satisfied Gia. Quickly rising shimmying his pants further down his legs Gia eased Nikolas into her warmth softly sighing as again they came together. His hands locked on her hips Nikolas thrust up into Gia wanting and craving all of her. Pulling her down further on him Nikolas growled their connection still not deep as he wanted. Opening the door suddenly Nikolas ordered a half-dressed Gia out of the car following quickly behind her. Oblivious to the cold Nikolas pinned Gia beside the car lifting her as he buried himself deeply within her. Pumping up into her Nikolas again took her nipple into his mouth licking and sucking her skin. Matching him thrust for thrust Gia moved her hands over Nikolas’ body stopping only when she held his firm butt in her hands. Pulling him deeper still into her Gia covered his mouth with hers slowly moving her tongue against his. Fireworks marking the beginning of another year Nikolas erupted inside of Gia crying out as he filled her. Riding still his ready shaft Gia finally cried out as her orgasm finally claimed her. Kissing as their breathing returned to normal Nikolas slowly lowered Gia to the ground her dress all but removed from her body. Her hand enclosed his still hard shaft Gia smiled up at Nikolas softly whispering as he smiled back at her.

Gia- [whispering] Next year we stay home…
Nikolas- [smiling] Damn right…
Gia- Come on let’s go… it’s still early and there’s so much more I want to do to you…
Nikolas- [whispering] There’s a few things I want to do to you too…
Gia- [softly] And if I forgot to say it…
Nikolas- [slowly smiling] Happy New Year Sparky…
Gia- [smiling] Happy New Year baby…

Slowly nodding Gia stopped Nikolas from fixing his clothes telling him instead to get into the car as is. Straddling him Gia moved into the tiny space between Nikolas and the steering wheel wanting to be pressed up against him as he drove the last few yards to their cottage. Moving against him while she slowly kissed his neck Nikolas was surprised he actually made it to the cottage with out crashing. Rushing from the car Nikolas and Gia freed themselves of their remaining clothing as they collapsed on the couch loving slowly throughout the rest of the night.
