Acquiring Hearts (15 page)

“We’re eating dinner here. I have another surprise for you at home,” Brad said as he winked at the future Mrs. Roberts.

“I’m starting to get use to all this spoiling. You better watch yourself,” Gia teased.

“Finally,” Brad said with happy relief, “that’s all I’ve wanted.”

Chapter Fifteen

Brad and Gia arrived back at the condo around ten thirty. “Why don’t you put something comfortable on? I have a surprise for you but its outside.”

Gia had no idea what Brad had planned but it had to be something spectacular because he was fidgeting with excitement. She was still in shock over the engagement. He was now her fiancé. She had to get use to that. Brad came into the room to get her.

“Come on, baby, hurry up,” Brad urged.

“Ok, Ok, I’m coming.”

Brad grabbed her hand and pulled her along. They took the elevator back down. “We’re going to the beach.”

“It’s a little late for swimming. And you could have easily seduced me in the bedroom.”

“Shh… Wait until you see what I have planned for you. I want to end the evening with something romantic,” Brad said with anticipation thick in his voice.

When they arrived at the beach Brad had laid a blanket set up on the warm white sand. There was a huge screen set up on the beach. He had wine and a whole dessert buffet set up.

“So this is why you told me I couldn’t have dessert. What’s with the screen?”

“Well, remember on our first date you said your favorite movie is Moonstruck but when we watched it we fell asleep?”

“Yes”

“I figured we could watch it out here on the beach and eat dessert. I called a company and had them come out and set it up for us.”

“You never cease to amaze me! I love you more and more every minute of the day. You really know how to make me feel loved,” exclaimed Gia, gushing with excitement.

“And I always will. Just sit back, relax and enjoy the show.”

Brad pressed play on the movie. They laid back under the moon holding each other. Brad started to caress her neck.

“Do you seriously want to get through this movie? If so, stop, because I’m about to jump you.”

“I know, I know. I just want you so badly. You smell so good. I just want to suck your neck right now,” and he did so in a teasing manner.

“When we get upstairs, you can do whatever you want to me.”

“Oh you have no idea what I want to do to you.”

“I can only imagine.”

Somehow, they made it through the movie, both in dying heat. Brad actually enjoyed it. He’d never seen it before and last time he passed out. As soon as it was over, they ran back to the condo laughing and giggling like two teenagers. When they reached the door to condo, Brad unlocked it and waited for her to get in. He then threw her up against the door playfully and ripped her shirt off her. He started licking, sucking and biting her neck, shoulders and breasts. He grabbed her face and kissed her wildly.

“Oh My God, you’re like a beast right now.” Gia was hardly able to contain herself.

“I wanted to make slow passionate love to you all night long, to end our romantic night, but I have no control.”

“Uh, we have the rest of our life for that! Ravish me!”

“Are you sure about that?”

“Positive.”

“Tonight is all about you.”

Gia let out the breath that she was holding. Everything about tonight was spectacular, more than she could have ever imagined. She knew it wouldn’t stop there.

Brad dropped to his knees and removed her bottoms. She was standing naked against the door and he was mesmerized.

“Hold on,” Brad said. He spread her legs apart. He teased her mid-section with his tongue.

“I’ll be back in a second.”

“What in the world?” Gia ask confused.

Within seconds he was back with a bucket of crushed ice.

“I’m really scared of what you’re going to do with that.” Gia said jokingly.

“Just relax. I’m going to need you to lie on the floor.”

“You do realize that we’re in the tiled entryway and you have a bucket of ice.”

“Just lay back. Shhh. Relax.” Brad took off all his clothes. “I knew that ice machine would come in handy one day.”

He grabbed a handful of ice and put some around her nipples and belly button.

“Patience… “Within two seconds you won’t even feel it.”

“Hurry…” Gia urged.

Brad slurped up the melting ice that was running down her body. He rubbed some ice over her lips and down her neck.

Next, he grabbed a fistful of ice and inserted it into her dripping hot insides. Gia was squirming all over the cold tile floor.

“Stay still… let the intensity take over,” Brad insisted.

Her insides melted the ice rather quickly, so he grabbed another fistful and inserted that. This time he lifted her legs up and lowered his mouth onto her. She was now freezing cold but not for long.

Brad ate the ice until he found her warm center.

Gia didn’t know how much longer she could hold on. Brad devoured her hot juices that were now flowing everywhere. Gia was screaming at the top of her lungs with ecstasy.

Brad quickly stopped and buried himself inside of her. He rocked her world so hard that she was being pushed over the edge yet again, this time, together with the man she loved.

That was the best fucking orgasm of my life.

They eventually made their way to the bedroom, where they stayed for the next couple days, along with the bucket of crushed ice.

“Thank God we have one of those ice machines at the other house.”

“You can say that again!”

They called their families and told them the good news about their engagement.

Brad and Gia were sad to see the vacation come to an end, but they had to go back to reality. Gia had a busy work week ahead of her and had to get herself together for work on Monday and Brad had some work he needed to finish before Monday’s meeting. They were also going to the Jersey shore next Sunday for the holiday weekend with Gia’s family. They needed to prepare for that as well.

They were happy.

Chapter Sixteen

“Roll down your window! I love the smell of the ocean air when driving into the Shore points.” Gia decided to drive to Wildwood in New Jersey, since she knew how to get there.

“It’s like ninety five degrees out,” Brad complained.

“Just for a minute.”

“Ok. I’m really nervous about meeting your family for the first time.”

“Like how I met your parents a week after we met? The only difference is, your family is normal and mine is not. You’ll be fine.”

Gia pulled off the exit of the Garden State Expressway to get to her parent’s house. They owned this house since she and Rachel were children. Her mom stayed down the shore the whole summer and her dad usually came down on the weekends. This summer Jason and Jeffrey ended up staying with her due to Rachel’s marital issues.

As Gia pulled into the driveway she thought for a second that maybe she was making a mistake. Suddenly she was very nervous too.

“We’re here! Let the fun begin!” Gia sarcastically blurted out.

Brad got out of the car and stretched his legs, as he let out a chuckle. “It’s only for one night.”

When he turned toward the house he saw a woman who looked about sixty, come running out. He knew it was Gia’s mom because he recognized her from the pictures that he had previously seen.

“My baby girl, I missed you so much. You look skinny! Are you eating?” Gia’s mother was very excited to see her because she hadn’t seen her in months.

Gia and Rachel kept the attempted rape scandal a secret from her. They didn’t want to worry her.

“Ooh! Look at that ring. The picture on Facebook didn’t do it justice.”

“Mom, calm down, Gia said as she laughed. This is Brad. Brad this is my mom, Carlotta.”

“Hi, Carlotta, It’s so nice to finally meet you. Gia says such great things about you. I can see where she gets her good looks from.”

“Ooh, I love him already. He’s so handsome.” She whispered to Gia. “Welcome to the family, Brad. We’re so happy to have you join us.”

Brad felt so honored to have her mother’s blessing. It made him feel more comfortable, especially since he knew how close they were. “I’m honored to become part of it,” Brad said honestly.

“Mom, where’s Dad at?” Gia interrupted.

“He’s in the garage. He just got back from a fishing trip with Uncle Dominic.”

“Ok, we can go out back and see him after we put the bags up in my room. Are Rachel and Vinnie here yet?”

“They took the boys to breakfast. After that they were going to the boardwalk,” Carlotta explained.

“Why didn’t you go?”

“Please!” That was her only response as she threw her hands in the air and walked in the house.

Gia and Brad followed behind her. Gia gave Brad a tour of the house and then they dropped the bags off.

“My dad built this house. It was a lot smaller when we were younger. About fifteen years ago he decided to rebuild and expand it.”

“It’s phenomenal. I’m really impressed,” Brad said with an earnest expression.

“He’s a great contractor.”

The door swung open on cue, as if Donato Coppi knew they were talking about him. He was of average height, around five-eleven, with salt and pepper hair and piercing blue eyes. He looked like he meant business. He resembled Pauly from
Goodfellas
, if you had to compare him to someone.

“I heard my princess is here.” Gia ran to her dad and gave him a big hug.

“I have missed you so much, Daddy. How did you know I was here?”

“I missed you too. Your mother texted me. This must be my future son in law.” He shook Brad’s hand and pat his back. “Welcome to my family.”

“Thanks Mr. Coppi. It’s a pleasure. I’m honored.”

“Please call me Don. Do you like fishing?

“Yes, of course.”

“Then come out back and leave these women alone. Do you drink beer?”

“Yes”

“After you… Gia, I love this guy.”

Gia sat on the stool at the breakfast bar while her mom was preparing food.

“Gia, he’s gorgeous. Does he have a brother for Rachel?”
