Nick Of Time
Ok I couldn’t let another New Year roll around without another installment of the nasty…lol seriously though this story has been rolling around in my head for some time now and I wanted to type it up while it was still there. I’m not sure how many remember my two previous stories centering about New Year’s Eve celebrations (Love’s Countdown, Come Round Midnight) but like those this is a continuation of the stories although you did not have to read the previous ones to read this one. I haven’t watched GH since Coltin’s last day so what’s going on I couldn’t begin to tell you but after quickly skimming the monthly reviews I first laughed and then tried to incorporate it in this story with a few obvious corrections… NIKOLAS AND EMILY ARE NOT MARRIED… another thing… GIA AND ZANDER NEVER HAPPENED (just the thought turns my stomach) oh and just to clarify it… any and all Nikolas I write I envision being portrayed by Coltin Scott the only Prince Nikolas Cassadine I ever enjoyed. And of course Gia is Marissa…. Also I’m still not sure if I am going to stretch this particular fic into a longer story… it started out as a long one piecer… then it moved into a two part story… back to a single complete one piece… on to a three part series… and finally to this… for now… LOL If I decide to add on it don’t be surprised…lol and yes I know I am the LAST person who should be starting on another fic but I couldn’t help it… the words and actions just flowed so here we are….. Enjoy!
What a difference a few years make. I think I wasted a couple of years too many following this dream. Yeah I got the job as the high powered attorney but what else? Here it is… another New Year’s Eve and I’m by myself. Back in the day New Year’s Eve marked a new location and another adventure Nikolas and I would try…. Nikolas… how did I ever let myself walk away from him? I gave him some lame ass excuse and bolted. All because I was afraid… of what I couldn’t begin to know or understand. Hell if I could tolerate and withstand the Cassadines and all of his so-called friends surely I could have withstood whatever had me scared. But mulling over it now won’t change much…I made the choice and now I have to do what’s in my power to deal with it. Checking my image one last time I take deep breath and hope things once again go as I planned.
Guard- Cassadine it must be our lucky night…
Nikolas- I don’t consider spending New Year’s Eve in here lucky…
Guard- [unlocking his cell] You’re not in here anymore… your lawyer got you sprung…
Nikolas- Excuse me?
Guard- [leading him towards the interrogation room] Your lawyer worked her magic and you’re out of here…
Nikolas- [slowly shaking his head] How did Alexis…
Guard- It ain’t your regular attorney this time…
Nikolas- I don’t understand… who is…
Guard- [pointing behind him] Take it up with her…
Slowly turning all questions stopped as they came to face to face once again. A thousand thoughts going through both their minds she inhaled deeply as she softly spoke to him.
Gia- [softly] Nikolas…
In stunned silence Nikolas watched as Gia interacted with the police processing him out of custody. A thousand question race to him but he will hold them until it is just he and her and they are given time to talk alone. Once released Nikolas attempted conversation with Gia as they walked towards her waiting car. Receiving no response from her Nikolas’ patience slowly began to slip as his need for answers nearly too much.
Nikolas- What is this about Gia?
Receiving no answer Nikolas continued with his questions.
Nikolas- Does Alexis know she’s been replaced as my attorney?
Gia- [looking quickly at him] Why? You’re out… that’s all that should matter…
Nikolas- I have to call Emily and…
Hearing Gia’s response to his mention of Emily Nikolas turned to her once again his confusion increased.
Nikolas- Does this have anything to do with Emily? Does she know where I’m at? Is she behind this? I told her that I would handle it…
Tuning Nikolas and his multitude of questions out Gia sat wondering if this was the right decision after all. So much time and the circumstances have changed… maybe just maybe it was too late after all Tightening the belt on her trench coat Gia folded her arms across her chest as Nikolas continued to question her. Sending a glance in his direction they thankfully rode the elevator in silence as it made its way to the penthouse floor of the Harbor Side Suites [tried to make up a hotel not used by many PC residents]. Following closely behind her Nikolas watched as Gia unlocked the penthouse door still not responding to him. Once inside Nikolas again attempted to question Gia his anger growing as she continued to ignore him. Watching as she slowly moved around the penthouse lighting candles and the fireplace Nikolas patience finally snapped. Grabbing her as she attempted to walk pass him Nikolas pulled Gia to him intent on questioning her and her actions.
Nikolas- Gia… I’ve had enough of this game… whatever it may be but I’m done.
Gia- [looking down at his hand] I know I’ve been gone for a few years but…
Nikolas- But?
Gia- [snatching her arm away] Don’t grab me…
Nikolas- Gia what is this about?
Gia- [sighing] Nikolas have you taken a look at yourself?
Nikolas- What do you mean?
Gia- What happened to you?
Nikolas- What?
Gia- I’m not putting the blame on anyone but…
Nikolas- But?
Gia- [looking him up and down] You look horrible…
Nikolas- I look horrible...
Gia- Yes… you need… [slowly shaking her head] you need…
Nikolas- [folding his arms across his chest] What is it you think I need?
Gia- [frowning] A haircut and some decent clothes to start…
Nikolas- [angrily] Is this supposed to be joke?
Gia- Do you see me laughing?
Nikolas- Gia…
Gia- Nikolas…
Nikolas- I need to get to Emily and…
Gia- I think that’s the last thing you need to do…
Nikolas- Don’t tell me this is all over some hang up you have about Emily…
Gia- [softly] What has she done to you Nikolas?
Nikolas- [softly] Loved me…
Gia- [frowning as she shook her head] You’re in jail for a crime you didn’t commit… you look a mess…
Nikolas- Gia I killed my grandmother…
Gia- Nikolas think… this is Helena we’re talking about…
Nikolas- And…
Gia- You can’t kill the undead…
Nikolas- [slowly shaking his head] Even if that were true…
Gia- Has a body been found?
Nikolas- Gia… Emily’s my fiancée…
Gia- [cringing] Don’t remind me…
Nikolas- [looking around the penthouse] Are you doing all of this because you’re jealous of my fiancé?
Gia- What do I have to be jealous of?
Nikolas- She has me… we’re happy…
Gia- If I wanted you Nikolas… I can have you…
Nikolas- [slowly shaking his head] It’s not that easy Gia…
Gia- Nikolas I can have you eating out of the palm of my hand before you even knew what hit you…
Nikolas- Gia… Emily and I… we’re happy… ready to be married and…
Gia- [shrugging] Who are you trying to convince Nikolas?
Nikolas- I don’t have to convince anyone…
Gia- But yourself…
Nikolas- [hands on his hips] Ok… you think you can have me so easily… prove it…
Gia- That’s what you want me to do…
Nikolas- Come again…
Gia- You want me to come at you flashing you my goods… giving you a taste of me so you can have an excuse to walk away from the mistakes you’ve made and the ones you are about to make… well I’m not going to make it that easy Nikolas. If you want to walk away, whether it’s in my direction or not, you’re going to have to do that on your own…
Nikolas- [softly] A taste of you…
Gia- [softly as she stared intently at him] I haunt you Nikolas don’t I?
Nikolas- [whispering] No…
Gia- Yeah… [slowly smiling] I do… when it’s real late at night and Emily’s off dreaming about whatever I’m who you’re thinking about…
Nikolas- You… you don’t know what you’re talking about…
Gia- [slowly nodding] I think I do…
Nikolas- [shaking his head] This conversation is useless…
Gia- I was who you were thinking about when you proposed to her…
Nikolas- [whispering] Gia…
Gia- The lights were low… [softly whispering as she approached him] the music was playing softly… and you imagined me there waiting for you…
Nikolas- No…
Gia- And when you kissed Emily you imagined yourself tasting me…
Nikolas- [whispering] You should stop this…
Gia- [slowly shaking her head] You imagined that little sound I used to make when you kissed my spot to get you hard…
Nikolas- [shaking his head as he sat on the nearby couch] Gia…
Gia- And when you eased inside of her it took all of your willpower not to call out my name…
Nikolas- [softly as he shook his head] Sparky don’t do this…
Gia- [slowly smiling as she moved away from him] You did say my name didn’t you?
Nikolas- [whispering] Why are you doing this?
Gia- [slowly unbuttoning and removing her trench coat] Because someone has to save you even if you don’t know you need to be saved…
Nikolas- [breathlessly] Gia…
Standing before him in a lacy bustier, barely there lacy panties, thigh highs, and 4” stiletto heels Gia softly whispered to Nikolas as she approached him.
Gia- [whispering] Did you really want to spend New Year’s Eve and the rest of your life locked up in jail dreaming about the life you should’ve had?
Nikolas- [slowly shaking his head] I thought you weren’t going to do this…
Gia- I’ve changed my mind…
Going to sit across from Nikolas Gia stared intently at him as she slowly crossed her legs. His breath quickening Nikolas’ eyes slowly moved up her long legs and supple body until their eyes locked. Inhaling deeply Nikolas once again found his voice to question her.
Nikolas- [softly] Why are you doing this?
Gia- [uncrossing and recrossing her legs] Why do you think?
Nikolas- Gia…
Gia- Nikky… [softly] do you ever think about me?
Nikolas- [whispering] Yes…
Gia- What do you think about?
Nikolas- [staring intently at her] Everything…
Before she could question him further Nikolas stood grabbing his coat as he headed for the door. Rising quickly from her seat Gia blocked Nikolas’ escape her back against the penthouse door.
Gia- What are you so afraid of?
Nikolas- [shaking his head] I’m not doing this…
Gia- Not doing what?
Nikolas- This…
Grabbing her by the shoulders Nikolas pulled Gia into him covering her mouth with his own. A soft moan escaping her Nikolas tightened his hold on her as her tongue slowly slid along his. The feel of her pressed closely to him Nikolas lost what little control he had left wanting and needing to experience the touch of her once again. His hands beginning their exploration Nikolas slowly moved his hands along the sides sighing contentedly as he caressed her rounded bottom. His hands now on her thigh Nikolas slowly opened her legs as he ground his hips roughly against her. Feeling her immediate response Nikolas’ hand moved again up her leg wandering closer and closer to her center. Attempting to cover his hand with her own Gia was caught off guard as Nikolas captured her hands in his locking them above her head. Her neck now exposed to him Nikolas placed languid kisses against the long narrow column. His tongue replacing his kisses Nikolas licked and tasted her sweet skin once again. Moving to the valley of her breasts Nikolas tenderly kissed the swell of each wanting desperately to feel her hardened peaks moving slowly across his tongue. Unable to deny himself longer Nikolas released Gia’s hands as he again moved his hands down her body. As his hands slowly and torturelessly [I made it up…lol] moved over her skin Gia softly moaned when finally he unclasped her bustier freeing her skin to his touch and taste. Still slowly moving against her Nikolas extended his tongue rolling a sensitized nipple against it. His hands and mouth tenderly seducing her skin Gia moved her hand down Nikolas’ body her turn to reacquaint herself to him. Moving across the rippled muscles of his stomach Gia slid her hand under the waistband of his pants only to be stopped by Nikolas. Slowly caressing him Gia tenderly kissed up Nikolas’ neck stopping only as she rested beside his ear. Placing a tender opened-mouth kiss behind his ear Gia softly whispered to Nikolas hoping desperately that he would give her the answer she long sought.
Gia- [whispering] Nikolas…
Nikolas- [softly as he shook his head] Gia…
Gia- I want you so bad…
Nikolas- Gia we can’t… we…
Gia- Nikolas… [caressing him once again] make love to me..
Nikolas- Sparky… this isn’t right…
Gia- [softly] Baby… [gently kissing him] it’s New Year’s Eve… how could this not be right?
As her thumb continued to flick the tip of him Nikolas inhaled deeply knowing he couldn’t back away from Gia even if he wanted to. From the moment he came face to face with her again Nikolas knew that before the end of the night they would be entangled in each other’s arms. Hearing her continued whispers Nikolas placed his finger on her mouth silencing her. Watching as she slowly took his finger into her mouth Nikolas’ eyes darkened before he went into her once again. Joining his tongue to hers Nikolas brokenly said her name before devouring her. His body pressed to hers Nikolas again parted her thighs wrapping her leg around his waist as he moved against her. Her bustier open to him Nikolas captured a nipple between his teeth teasingly moving his tongue across it. Moans filling the air Nikolas slowly bestowed the same pleasure on her other nipple. Reluctantly breaking apart Nikolas stared down at Gia his want nearly drowning him. His hand now on her cheek Nikolas tenderly caressed her skin forever lost in her. Claiming his hand Gia slowly brought it to her lips tenderly kissing the palm of his hand. Her turn to now tenderly caress his face Gia smiled up at Nikolas lost too in him. Hands returning to one another Gia quickly relieved Nikolas of his shirt before completely undoing his pants. Pushing his pants down his legs Gia wrapped her other leg around Nikolas’ waist as he moved continuously against her. Joining lips Nikolas leaned into Gia pinning her against the door. Her underwear the only barrier between them Nikolas brokenly called out Gia’s name wanting and needing to be buried deep within her. Tugging quickly at her underwear Nikolas whispered softly to Gia telling her of his needs.
Nikolas- [whispering] I want to feel you… I need to feel you…
A moan her only response Gia aided Nikolas in removing her panties wrapping her legs around him once again. Sliding slowly into her Nikolas froze euphoria washing over him. Her hands at his waist Gia tenderly kissed the spot behind his ear as she whispered to him.
Gia- [whispering] You feel so good…
A moan in agreement Nikolas slowly moved in and out of Gia wanting their union to last forever. Hot whispered words shared between the two Nikolas and Gia moved together reaffirming old feelings and creating new ones. Her release upon her Gia held tightly to Nikolas as he furiously pumped into her. Her body shuddering around him Nikolas called out to Gia ecstasy finally his. Locked together in silence as their breathing calmed Gia tenderly kissed Nikolas wanting to prolong what just occurred between them. Staring deeply into her eyes Nikolas and Gia shared a silent conversation each unsure of what to say. Nodding his head Nikolas tightened his hold on Gia as he slowly moved them away from the door. Going quickly to the nearest bedroom Nikolas laid them gently on the bed their connection never breaking. Slowly loving once again the events of the night finally claimed them as Nikolas and Gia drifted off to sleep.
