Chapter 1
The party was in full swing and he was miserable. The Cougars pre-season bash was the talk of Port Charles but he couldn’t think. Gia was not there yet and his “girlfriend” was on his nerves. This charade of a relationship could not last much longer or else he was likely to go crazy. Having agreed to arrive at the party before Gia he now found himself looking constantly at his watch to the door every few minutes in hope that he would catch a glimpse of her.
Emily- Are you guys ok?
Nikolas- Huh?
Emily- Both you and Lucky look ready to jump out of your skin.
Nikolas- [shaking his head] I’m fine... I don’t know about Lucky though.
Lucky- [running his hands nervously through his hair] There’s nothing… there’s nothing wrong with me either.
Emily- [shaking her head] If you say so...
Lucky- I wonder where Gia is.
Emily- She should be here soon. I mean she was the one who invited us to the party.
Lucky- Yeah I guess…
Liz- Why do you care if Gia is here or not?
Lucky- I don’t… I mean…
Nikolas- She did invite us Elizabeth…
Liz- So…
Emily- Well it doesn’t matter now because there she is.
Nikolas and Lucky turned to the door watching as Gia slowly made her way to their table on the arm of Maxwell Oliver, the Cougars’ star quarterback. Clothed in a black barely there dress Gia saw his appreciation all over his face. She had chosen this dress for that exact reaction and it made the torture of this night worth it. If she had to put up with his "girlfriend" tonight the least she could do is make him suffer through the night just as she had to.
Lucky/Nikolas- [softly as she neared the table] Damn…
Gia- [smiling having heard his proclamation] Hey everybody…
Emily- Hey Gia…
Gia- Hey…
Lucky- [blurting out] You look amazing…
Gia- [her smile broadening] Thanks… [quickly looking at Nikolas] Nikolas…
Nikolas- Gia… I have to agree with my brother. You look… wow…
Gia- [smiling as she slowly turned] So you guys like huh?
Lucky/Nikolas- Definitely…
Gia- [smiling] Good… [looking at Elizabeth, Emily, and Lynn] You guys look amazing.
Liz- [mumbling] Thanks…
Lucky- Who’s… who’s your friend?
Gia- Oh…[smiling as she softly touched Maxwell’s arm] everyone… this is Maxwell Oliver, the Cougars’ quarterback. Maxwell this is everybody.
Maxwell- [smiling] Hey…
Table- [in unison] Hey…
As the party went on and the looks between them became too hard to hide and Gia knew she had to remove herself from the table before everyone knew their "secret".
Gia- If you all will excuse me…
Maxwell- Where… where are you going?
Gia- I need to go to the ladies room and…
Emily- I’ll go with you…
Liz- Yeah me too… Lynn you coming?
Lynn- [smiling] Yeah… [quickly kissing Nikolas on the cheek] I’ll be right back ok…
Nikolas- [nodding] Fine…
Gia- [standing] I have to and talk to AJ before I head to the ladies room so…
Emily- Well we’ll just go to the restroom and…
Gia- [shaking her head] You don’t have to wait… [smiling] you know how AJ is. It might be awhile…
Emily- Yeah… [laughing] good luck...
Gia- [looking back quickly at him Gia turned to leave] Thanks…
Maxwell- [after a few seconds] Excuse me as well…
Once Maxwell and the girls were out of sight Lucky leaned in smiling at Nikolas.
Nikolas- What are you smiling at?
Lucky- Did you see Gia?
Nikolas- Yeah I saw her.
Lucky- Damn…
Nikolas- [shaking his head] What?
Lucky- She looked…
Nikolas- Good…
Lucky- Good? I see why you two are only roommates.
Nikolas- [laughing] Shut up…
Lucky- Can’t you see what’s in front of you for the taking.
Nikolas- I don’t want to mess up what I have. I mean we are really good friends. I’m with Lynn and…
Lucky- So…
Nikolas- And she’s with Maxwell…
Lucky- You don’t really think she dressed like that for… what’s his name.
Nikolas- Maxwell… Maxwell Oliver.
Before Lucky could comment the girls returned to the table.
Liz- [smiling] We’re back…
Lucky- [sighing] I’m gonna go and get something to drink.
Liz- [frowning] Fine…
Shaking her head Gia slowly walked down the narrow hall heading toward the table. As she neared the end of the hall a hand covered her mouth dragging her back into a darkened corner. Pressed up against the wall urgent lips descended on her as roaming handing quickly moving the fabric of her dress aside as they made their way to her breast.
Gia- [between kisses] No…
Muffled voice- [breathlessly] Yes…
Gia- We might… they might see us…
Muffled voice- [his tongue slowly brushing past her lips] I don’t think so…
Gia- I want… [as he slowly kissed down her neck] you have to st…
The warmth of his tongue as it flicked across her hardened nipple erased all coherent thought from Gia. Wrapping her arms around his neck Gia pulled him closer needing to feel his mouth on her body.
Muffled voice- Do you want me to stop?
Gia- [softly] No…
Bringing his mouth back to hers their tongues hungrily bathed in the taste of each other. Exploring hands roamed over her body quickly finding their way to the split of her dress.
Gia- [breathlessly as she covered his hand] No…
Muffled voice- [softly] Come on…
Gia- Not… not here…
Muffled voice- [whispering] They can’t see us…
Gia- [softly her resolve slowly slipping] Are you sure?
Muffled voice- [softly as gently kissed her] Yes…
Gia- [returning his kiss] Ok…
Quickly lifting her wrapping her legs around his waist he slipped his hand under her dress seeking her warmth. Shocked he pulled away from her his exploration finding her minus underwear.
Muffled voice- [softly] I want to… I need to be inside you.
Gia- [slowly running her tongue down his neck] I want to feel you inside of me…
Nodding he quickly unzipped his pants sliding her down on his waiting member. Tasting her nipple again with an excited tongue he slowly began to move within her. Thrusting in and out of her he covered her mouth again muffling her moans as she neared her climax. Licking two fingers only to claim her clitoris with them nearly pushed Gia over the edge. Moving his fingers in rhythm with his hips Gia grabbed fistfuls of his hair as her orgasm overtook her with him following quickly behind her. Collapsing against her as they tried to calm their breathing he slowly kissed her not ready to break their contact. Wrapping her arms around his neck Gia slowly disengaged from him slowly gathering her footing on the floor.
Gia- [whispering] I love you…
Male voice- [gently kissing her neck] I know…
Gia- You know?
Male voice- [whispering] Yeah… just making sure you remembered…
Gia- Like I could forget… [smiling as she slowly adjusted her clothes] Is this what this little "meeting" was about?
Male voice- [smiling] Among other things.
Gia- Other things?
Male voice- Well the first "thing"… [slowly running his finger along the length of her plunging neckline] you and this dress… you nearly gave me a heart attack when I saw you come through the door.
Gia- Had to make sure you paid attention to me tonight.
Male voice- How could I not?
Gia- [laughing] What was the second thing?
Male voice- I didn’t want you getting any ideas about what’s his name…
Gia- [smiling realizing his jealousy] Well you don’t have to worry about that…
Male voice- Had to make sure…
Gia- I think he’s more interested in your brother…
Male voice- My brother… are you telling me…
Gia- [laughing] Yeah…
Male voice- [laughing] Maybe I should tell my brother…
Gia- I don’t think he would like that…
Male voice- [smiling as he slowly shook his head] Yeah probably not.
Gia- [frowning as she finished fixing her clothes] Now I don’t know if I’m gonna be able to deal with being back out there.
Male voice- Why?
Gia- After what we just did… having to sit there with your brother and…
Male voice- [raising an eyebrow] And?
Gia- [frowning] Your girlfriend…
Male voice- [shaking his head] She’s not my girlfriend…
Gia- Oh really… try telling her that.
Male voice- [shaking his head] Don’t let her fool you… she has her mind in someone else.
Gia- And that doesn’t bother you?
Male voice- [slowly smiling] Not really… I know where my heart lies…
Gia- [softly] Where?
Male voice- [whispering as he gently kissed her] With you…
Gia- [smiling as she returned the kiss] Good… you want to go out first or…
Male voice- [shaking his head] No… you go…
Gia- Ok… and…
Male voice- And?
Gia- [quickly grabbing his face for a quick kiss] Next time… I’ll surprise you…
Male voice- [smiling] I can’t wait…
As Gia quickly returned to a near empty table she gather her senses trying best to last through the rest of the night without letting on what she just experienced.
Gia- [almost over cheerfully] Where is everyone?
Liz- Well when we got back to the table Lucky disappeared from the table claiming he wanted something to drink and after a while Nikolas went looking for him.
Gia- [nodding] And Maxwell?
Emily- He was gone when we came back. I think he left right after we went to the bathroom…
Gia- Where I never quite made it…
Emily- [smiling] AJ?
Gia- [smiling] Among other things… Are you all enjoying the party so far?
Liz- [nodding looking around the room] Yeah… it’s cool.
Emily- [leaning in whispering] How can you work around so many cute guys and not get distracted?
Gia- [laughing] It ain’t easy… [looking over at Lynn] I’m sorry… I wasn’t trying to ignore you Lynn…
Lynn- It’s cool…
Gia- It’s good seeing you again… you haven’t been to the cottage lately and…
Lynn- Yeah I’ve been a little busy…
Gia- [nodding] Understandable… [seeing Nikolas approach the table] Nikolas is back…
Nikolas- [nodding to the table] Sorry about that…
Lynn- [leaning over to kiss his cheek as he sat down] Where were you?
Nikolas- [shrugging] Looking for Lucky I got a call from Ned and I went outside to take care of it.
Lynn- [nodding] Oh ok…
Nikolas- Lucky’s not back yet?
Liz- [frowning] No…
Gia- [a soft smile playing across her face] Well there he is now…
Liz- [as he neared the table] Where were you?
Lucky- Getting a drink… the line was like forever. Then I stepped outside to…
Liz- Did you see Nikolas?
Lucky- No… if he was outside I didn’t see him.
Emily- That’s strange…
Maxwell- [coming back to the table quickly kissing Gia] Hey babe… I see you finally made it back…
Gia- [looking down as she noticed the looks on both Nikolas’s and Lucky’s face] Yeah…
Maxwell- AJ is looking for you.
Gia- He needs to see me again huh?
Maxwell- I guess…
Gia- [standing] Ok… I’ll be…
Nikolas- [standing] Hey… it’s getting kind of late and thanks to Ned’s call I have to get up early for work so…
Gia- [softly] You leaving?
Nikolas- [nodding] Yeah… thanks for inviting us.
Gia- No problem… I hope you enjoyed yourselves.
Lynn- [lacing her hands with Nikolas’s] We did…
Lucky- [standing] I think we better be going too…
Liz- Yeah…
Emily- [smiling as she stood] Well since I rode with them I guess that means I’m outta here too.
Gia- [laughing] I guess… thanks for coming.
Lucky- [smiling at Gia] Thanks for inviting us. I really enjoyed myself tonight.
Gia- [smiling sweetly at Lucky] Well I’m glad you came… I’m… I’m glad you enjoyed yourself.
Lucky- [staring intently at Gia] We need to do this more often.
Gia- [returning his stare] Yeah… we do…
Nikolas- [breaking their stare] Ok… now that that’s all settled I’ll see you at home Gia.
Gia- Ok… [taking Maxwell’s hand slowly walking away] I’ll see you.
As the walked towards the door Nikolas leaned over to speak with Lucky.
Nikolas- [whispering] What was that all about?
Lucky- [shaking his head as he slowly smiled] Nothing… just being nice to her.
Nikolas- [looking intently at Lucky] If you say so…
Lucky- I say so…
Nikolas- [shaking his head] Come on Lynn… I’ll take you home.
Lynn- [as she tightened her hold on Nikolas’s hand] Ok baby…
Lucky- [smiling as he whispered] Baby?
Nikolas- [whispering as he looked at Lucky] Shut up…
As they exited the door both Lucky and Nikolas looked back at Gia. Catching their gaze she smiled a smile meant only for him.
Chapter 2
Here he sat trapped with "them" at the cottage thinking of Gia. From the moment she had arrived at the party until it was time for them to leave he couldn’t take his eyes off of her. And their hidden lovemaking only made his desire and want for her stronger. He had surprised even himself with his actions tonight. Yet filling her… being inside of her there was no greater feeling he had ever experienced. Forcing a smile he looked over at his brother as he laughed and joked with those around him before coming to join him on the couch. Sharing a few words with him he could not keep from wondering how they all ended up at the cottage. Shaking his head he knew it was useless to think of anything other than Gia and making mad passionate love to her. Her laid out beneath him while he is poised over her ready to enter heaven over and over again. Sitting back he thought of their first time together and how much he wished he could return to that night… that moment of them.
*~* Flashback *~* Gia- [softly] What are we doing here?
A smile his only response he took her by the hand and slowly lead Gia into the dark building. Having been blindfolded until they arrived at their location Gia was lost as to where they were. Surely there had to be a reason they were here and more importantly there had to be some reason he felt it necessary to blindfold her. As they made their way through what seemed like a maze of hallways they came to rest in a huge darkened room.
Gia- Where are we?
Male voice- [whispering] Your deepest fantasy...
Gia- [softly] My what?
Male voice- [softly] Turn on the lights and you’ll see...
Gia- How?
Male voice- Like this…
Snapping his fingers the room illuminated and Gia was shocked to find them standing inside a mirrored dance studio.
Gia- Why... what...
Male voice- [softly] I want you to dance for me...
Gia- [shaking her head] I…
Male voice- [softly] Please...
Gia- I can’t dance... I mean I have nothing to change into and…
Male voice- It’s all here… whatever you need…
Gia- Oh my God… how did you… how did you remember this? It was so long ago when I told you…
Male voice- [softly kissing her cheek] I remember everything you say to me…
Gia- Everything…
Male voice- [slowly smiling] Everything…
After quickly changing Gia emerged from the back danced in a long flowing skirt and a leotard ready to dance for only him. Looking quickly through the music by the CD player Gia selected a song and slowly began to dance.
There are times when I look above and beyond
There are times when I feel your love around me, baby
I’ll never forget my baby
When I feel that I don’t belong, draw my strength
From the words when you said, "It’s about you, baby
Look deeper inside you, baby"
I dream about us together again
What I want us together again, babe
I know we’ll be together again ‘cause
Everywhere I go (Everywhere I go)
Every smile I see (Every smile I see)
I know you are there (I know you are there)
Smilin’ back at me
Dancin’ in moonlight (Dancin’ in moonlight)
I know you are free (I know you are free)
‘Cause I can see your star (I can see your star)
Shinin’ down on me
Oh, deeper (Deeper)
He stood awed and entranced by her. Every move… every step he was losing himself to her and he loved it. It was as if she weaved a magical spell around him that he couldn’t break free from… a spell that he didn’t want to be released from. Gia had captured his heart long before this dance but as she continued to dance around the room he realized he would willingly lose all just to be by her side. As she danced by him he found himself reaching out trying to… needing to touch her. Looking back at him Gia smiled as she slowly walked back him his need written clearly on his face.
Always been a true angel to me
Now above
I can’t wait for you to wrap your wings around me baby
Wrap ‘em around me, babe
Sometimes hear you whisperin’
No more pain
No worries will you ever see now, babe
I’m so happy for my baby
I dream about us together again
What I want is us together again, babe
I know we’ll be together again ‘cause
Everywhere I go (Everywhere I go)
Every smile I see (Every smile I see)
I know you are there (I know you are there)
Smilin’ back at me
Gia- [smiling] Was it that bad?
Male voice- [softly as he slowly shook his head] No…
Gia- You sure... cause I can take the criticism…
Male voice- [softly] You were amazing…
Gia- [softly as she smiled] Thank you…
Male voice- [softly] No thank you…
Gia- Dance with me…
Male voice- I don’t think I can…
Gia- [gently taking his hand holding it to her chest] Please…
Male voice- [softly] Gia…
Gia- [softly] Please…
Dancin’ in moonlight (Dancin’ in moonlight)
I know you are free (I know you are free)
‘Cause I can see your star (I can see your star)
Shinin’ down on me
Gently taking her in his arms they slowly began to move to the music. Breathing in the smell of Gia he loses himself in the intoxicating scent. Gently swaying to the rhythm of the song he brings her closer and soon she feels the warmth of his breath on her neck. Without realizing it Gia moves closer still towards him until they have practically become one. Gently kissing her neck he hugs her tightly fearful if he lets go she might slip away from him. Looking up into his eyes Gia sees his love for her and at that moment realizes that the love she reads in his eyes is the same love she has for him coursing through her veins. With slow fingers he slowly traces her mouth before bringing her lips to his.
Oh, deeper (Deeper)
Have to look deeper (Deeper)
Male voice- [softly against her lips] I want you…
The softness of his lips and the warmth of his breath astound Gia and spurs her quickly into action. Quickly untying the string around her skirt Gia slowly lets it flutter to the ground before stepping out of it. Pulling the straps of her leotard down Gia quickly disrobed and discarded the leotard coming to stand naked in front of him. As she reached out to touch him he pushed Gia back until her back rested against the mirrored wall. Going quickly to his knees he placed feather soft kisses across her stomach as his hands went search of her warmth. As her fingers ran through his hair he quickly slipped two fingers in her core smiling at its wetness and warmth. Lifting her leg as he placed it gently over his shoulder he buried his face in her center hungrily tasting and drinking her sweet nectar. As his tongue probed her inner depths Gia arched her back off the mirror unable to control the sensations he was giving her. Holding his head in place Gia’s knees nearly buckled when his tongue came in contact with her clitoris. Rolling his tongue over it before sucking hungrily on it he sent Gia quickly over the edge climaxing as she called out his name. Drinking happily the juices she released he lead her to the floor before taking her mouth as his.
Male voice- [softly] Are you ok?
Gia- [breathlessly] Yes…
Male voice- I’ll go and find something to cover…
Gia- [shaking her head] Make love to me…
Male voice- Gia…
Before he could continue Gia flipped their positions straddling him.
Male voice- Gia…
Gia- [slowly smiling] It’s your turn…
Gia slowly kissed down his chest as she undid each of his buttons. Taking his nipple in her mouth Gia lightly bit him smiling as she heard his excited groans. Softly blowing on his wounded skin Gia smiled again hearing his moan of appreciation and knowing that she was causing this reaction on him. Grinding her hips Gia moaned as the roughness of his clothing rubbed against her throbbing center. Frantically Gia quickly unbuttoned his pants slipping her hand inside stroking his enlarging shaft. Running her thumb across it’s tip Gia felt him jerk beneath her. Caressing the length of him Gia’s excitement built knowing soon he would be inside of her. Rising momentarily Gia watched in fascination as he quickly removed his clothing. Licking quickly the head of his penis before positioning herself over him Gia looked into his eyes before joining together as one. Slowing lowering herself on him Gia stops briefly trying to gain control of sensations shooting throughout her body. As he slowly moves before her Gia braces herself placing a hand on his chest while riding him. Closing her eyes losing herself in the feeling Gia is brought out of her state by his fevered whispers.
Male voice- [whispering] Look at me…
There are times when I look above and beyond
There are times when I feel your love upon me, baby
I’ll never you, baby
When I feel that I don’t belong, draw my strength
From the words when you said, "It’s about you, baby
Look deeper inside you, baby"
What I’d give just to hold you close
As on earth
In heaven we will be together, together, together, together
Together again my baby
Locking eyes with him Gia is awed by the love she reads. Reversing their positions once again he is now on top moving in and out of Gia. Staring deeply into her eyes enthralled by the look of complete satisfaction on her face he slowly lowers his head taking control of her mouth. Dueling tongues move in rhythm with their hips coming closer and closer release. Breaking away from her succulent mouth he quickly taking a hardened nipple into his mouth sucking hungrily on it before moving to the other. Watching his movements in the mirrors that surrounded them Gia excitement continued to heighten. Grabbing his head bringing his lips back to hers Gia kissed him passionately. Losing control as they both watched their mirrored images he urgently moved in and out of her sending them both spiraling over the edge. Collapsing on top of her spent he quietly whispered the words she longed to her from him.
Everywhere I go (Everywhere I go)
Every smile I see (Every smile I see)
I know you are there (I know you are there)
Smilin’ back at me
Male voice- [quietly] I love you…
Gia- [tightening her hold of him] I love you too…
They lie wrapped together in each others arms talking of only them momentarily blocking out the life and loves that would again separate them and make them continue to act of this charade of only friendship between them.
~*~ End of Flashback ~*~
The sound of cottage door opening drew him out of his thoughts and he locked eyes with her… with Gia.
Gia- What… what are you all doing here?
Liz- We thought it would be fun if we continued the party here.
Gia- [slowly smiling as she glanced at him seeing the torture he seemed to be enduring] That’s cool…
Emily- Then come on in… Lynn is in the kitchen whipping up something and…
Gia- Well then let me go change and…
Lucky- [quickly standing] No…
Gia- Huh?
Lucky- Leave on your dress…
Gia- [slowly smiling] Why?
Lucky- Because you look… [slowly smiling as he licked his lips as he watched her walking door the stairs towards him] you look amazing.
Gia- [smiling] If I didn’t know any better I would think you were flirting with me Lucky…
Lucky- [smiling as he continued to watch her] With Elizabeth… with my “girlfriend” right here in the room with us?
Gia- [leaning in to whisper to Lucky as she passed him] Like that has ever stopped you…
Lucky- [laughing as he whispered his response] And it never will.
Emily- [watching Gia and Lucky’s interaction] Hey you two break it up over there.
Nikolas- [watching them as well] Yeah break it up…
Gia- [smiling as she walked away] You know Lucky… he never stops.
Nikolas- [mumbling] I noticed…
Lucky- [laughing as he sat back down next to Nikolas] Hey… I cant help it if I appreciate a beautiful woman…
Gia- [smiling] Who’s pictures you will soon be taking…
Emily- Yeah… [smiling at Gia] congratulations on that Gia. That has got to be so exciting.
Gia- [smiling] It is… I’m just wondering what kind of pictures Laura will want me to take.
Lynn- [emerging from the kitchen with a tray in hand] Maybe something really sexy…
Gia- [smiling as she quickly looked at him] I like the sound of that.
Lucky- [softly as he continued to look at Gia] So do I…
As the conversations swirled around them again and his brother moved away from him he focused his attention back on Gia. His eyes traveling along the length of her legs to her dark eyes that danced back at him. Locking eyes with her he could not help but smile as he watched a slow smile cross her face and mischief slowly began to dance in her eyes. Watching her movements he quickly drew in his breath as she slowly crossed and uncrossed her legs. Having seen a brief glimpse of her heaven he wanted to run to her and plunge headfirst its depths. Looking into her eyes again he smiled knowing that this would be a night he would soon not forget.
