It had been a few months into the marriage of Gil and Sofia Grissom when Sofia decided to bring up the subject of their sex life. Not that she was dissatisfied, far from it, but she suspected that her husband was restraining himself when they made love. Sofia was no blushing virgin when they married; she wasn't opposed to being a bit kinky or rough now and then, and she let him know this.
"But, Honey," Gil protested, "I don't want to get carried away and hurt you."
Sofia thought it so sweet that Gil was willing to deny his own sexual nature just to make sure that he never hurt his wife. "If it'll make you feel any better about this," she suggested, "I'll think up a safe word. You do know what a safe word is, don't you?"
"Of course." Gil was mildly insulted that she would even doubt that.
"Okay, I'll think up a safe word and if something comes up that I'm uncomfortable with, I'll use it. Deal?" Sofia offered.
Gil raised his eyebrows and smirked at his wife's choice of words. "Well, something could come up if you'd like it to."
Never turning down an offer to be intimate with her husband, Sofia beckoned him into their bedroom. "Bring it on, love."
After their little talk, Gil became more adventurous in the bedroom, amongst other rooms in their house. One day, the couple were in the shower trying a new position that Sofia had read about, when her leg started cramping. She immediately said her safe word.
The good news was that Gil stopped immediately. The bad news was that Sofia had forgot to tell him what word she had picked for her safe word. Gil rushed out of the shower and nearly vomited in the toilet.
Sofia cursed herself for picking that word. She knew it would get Gil's attention, but she forgot that it wasn't a particular favorite of his. "Love, I am so sorry." She rubbed his back while trying to gain his forgiveness. "Maybe we should come up with a new word together."
"That sounds good," Gil choked out, still trying to keep the nausea down.
Gil did forgive Sofia and they came up with a safer "safe word." All was well in the Grissom household, until one day:
Sofia and Gil were about to go home after work when the Assistant Lab Director passed them by in the hallway. Without thinking, Sofia greeted her former supervisor. "Hello, Ecklie."
Gil immediately turned green and bolted for the men's room.
