Nick tried to keep himself calm, the tears were threatening to fall again and he did not want that. He tried to get the gun out of his mind, knowing that tonight he had been just moments away from death. When he closed his eyes he saw the gun pointed at him saw the fear in her eyes and knew that with one movement he would have been dead. He lean against his truck trying to calm his nerves as the cold morning air blew past him it seemed colder today than it was yesterday. He knew he was shaking, he wished he had taken Grissom up on his offer to drop him off at home.

He knew by now it was all over, knew he needed to get out of here before someone saw him and asked questions. He tensed up when he realized that it was too late, someone was here. He blinked the tears away, he needed to be strong because men were not supposes to cry. Men where supposes to be strong, they were supposes to hold the woman as they cried. Turning around he tried to smile but it came out forced. He knew he had to excuse himself from the person and get home. Maybe he'd go to Grissom and ask if that offer was still open.

"Give me your keys," Greg said before he even turned around.

"I'm fine," Nick told him turning to look at the younger man.

"That wasn't an offer," Greg told him sternly holding out his hands. "Give me the keys."

Nick for the first time realized that his hands were still shaking, so he nodded and handed them to Greg. Greg went over to the passenger side unlocking the door to allow him in. Nick looked around almost embarrassed that he could not drive himself home. He had been a cop he should not be affected like this, but than again this was one of the reasons why he wanted to be a CSI so bad. He climbed in watching Greg shut the door, then he watched walk over to the driver's seat and climb in. Nick almost laughed when Greg motioned towards the seat belt as he went for his.

Nick leaned against the window as Greg turned the truck on. As they pulled out of the parking lot he softly asked where he lived, and Nick told him getting a nod from the younger man. He noticed Greg look down towards the radio and he could imagine the younger man's internal battle of wanting to change the station. Yet he kept it on the country station; and right now Nick was happy he did. He listened as some new guy's voice turned into Reba's voice it was one of his mother's favorite "Fancy." Nick closed his eyes as the lyrics took him over, than George Straits voice came on after. That one got a smile bigger than listening to Reba.

"We're here," Greg told him softly shutting off the engine making Nick open his eyes. He had not even noticed how long they had been driving, and the fact that on the station now was some young voice he didn't recognize. Nick looked over to the side dazed as Greg got out of the truck and walked to his side opening the door for him. He extended his hand to Nick. "Come on."

Nick nodded taking his hand his legs were just too shaky to get out on his own. He watched an elderly couple watch from their porch with scared expressions on their face. Greg smiled and waved at them as he helped Nick inside. It was clear they knew Nick, and from their looks they were scared from him. Nick looked towards them trying to smile, but they noticed he looked away. The pain was too much, he just wanted to get inside so Greg would leave so he could collapse and break down in the darkness of his room.

Greg unlocked the door opening it for Nick moving out of the way so Nick could go in first. Greg followed shutting the door, then locking it as he shut it. Nick turned to look at him but he seemed so lost that Greg moved past him. He kicked off his shoes before walking more into the house it had been his mother's rule. You never wore shoes in the house, he saw that Nick did not take his boots off he just kept on walking tracking the dirt in the house. Greg followed him Nick stopped when he heard his keys on the coffee table, than it hit him Greg had no way home.

Nick turned around to speak, he wanted to say something anything to rid the silence but as he opened his mouth nothing came out. Greg walked towards him slowly his soft brown eyes meeting Nick's green ones. In those eyes he found understanding, he closed his mouth knowing he didn't have to say a word. Suddenly for reasons Nick did not understand he broke in that moment, knowing he was safe in his house with someone who he could tell would not judge. He broke the tears began to fall, and he did not remembered when it happened or how but Greg caught him.

Greg had always seemed so weak, tiny compared to the other men he had befriended. But when Nick tears began to fall when his knees finally gave out Greg was the one who caught him. Greg was the one who held him and half carried and half led him to the couch that was not too far away. There Nick held onto Greg for what seemed like an eternity crying as all the emotions of this case and the gun pointed at him finally came out. He held onto Greg because he liked that for one moment he had someone to hold on to.

"Oh god," Nick mumbled pushing himself away. "I'm sorry."

"It's okay," Greg told him moving his hand up to wipe the tears away only to have him move away ashamed. "Where I'm from men are allowed to cry…allowed to show they feel."

"Greg," Nick whispered as Greg put his hand back on Nick's face wiping the tears away. Greg right now could not only see the pain Nick was in, but he could feel it as well.

"Let me help you," Greg whispered back Nick's eyes opening in shock. He had never thought of Greg like that, sure the kid was attractive but that was as far as Nick went.

"We work together," Nick mumbled watching Greg smile softly as he wipe another tear away. Nick had a strict rule of not getting involved with co-workers; he had seen first hand when he worked in Dallas how messy they could get.

"I want to help you," Greg told him softly and Nick could see the honestly in his eyes. "I don't want anything more than that."

"Greg," Nick sighed closing his eyes as more tears started to fall.

"Let me take care of you Nick," Greg said standing offering his hand to him again. "I'll be gone by the time you wake up."

"You'll never tell anyone," Nick asked scared that people would think less of him if they knew he could not handle this on his own, and if they knew he slept with men as well as woman. How Greg knew was beyond him, but he was learning quick Greg Sanders picked up on things others did not.

"It'll be just between us," Greg smiled wiggling his fingers to him, and Nick took his hand too weak to argue. Right now he needed comfort he needed someone to take care of him.

Walking to his bedroom Nick was nervous he expected Greg to kiss him, he expected Greg to take him on the couch but he didn't. Instead he walked him to his bedroom opening the door and ushering him inside. He watched Greg as he let go of his hand closing his blinds so the room was nearly black except for the light in the hallways. Nick watched him as he walked slowly towards him, watched him as he wiped the tears away that were still falling. He wished he had more control over his emotional than this, he wished he was a stronger man. Wished he could deny the temptation.

Nick looked down as Greg was unbuttoning his shirt slowly, watched as he placed it neatly in a chair in the corner of his room. He went back to him motioning for him to sit which Nick did out of curiosity. Nick watched as he took his boots off, smiling slightly as Greg tugged them off with two soft grunts. He then smiled again as it tickled when he took the socks off. He placed them by the chair as well, motioning for Nick to stand up which he did. He undid the belt then pulled his pants down his legs, and then he pulled his white shirt he had on over his head.

Nick stood their in his boxers wide eyed and confused at what just happened. Greg smiled knowing that Nick needed more than just wild sex, he needed to be taken care of and that was what he was going to do. Greg took off the shirt he was wearing and placed it by his on the chair, then his pants and his socks. He had a necklace on today, taking it off and placing it on Nick's dresser. It was a cross necklace his Grandmother Sanders gave to him, he sometimes wore it when he felt uneasy. Like something bad was going to happen, and he had that feeling since he woke up.

"Don't be afraid," Greg told him softly walking towards him. "I'm going to take good care of you."

Nick nodded then closed his eyes as Greg cupped his face with his hand Nick involuntarily leaned into his warm touch. He was so cold right now, and Greg was so warm. Greg motioned for Nick to come and lay down when he did he motioned for him to roll over. Nick did as he was asked as he heard Greg moving around the room. Moments later he found Greg on his bed, with the items he would need. He vaguely saw the tube of lube he had in his side drawer with the condoms, but than he saw a bottle of lotion as well. Before he could ask what was going on he felt Greg move on top of his body straddling his hips.

He heard the cap from one of the bottles and assumed it would be the lotion. Nick gasp as the cool thick liquid was now on his back, and then moaned as it warmed up as Greg hands and fingers moved. Nick tilted his head to the side as Greg fingers moved in circular motions up and down his back. Greg had noticed how tense he had been for weeks now, and knew this would help him. He found a huge knots, he could feel Nick tense up at first as he worked the knot away. But as he moved Nick relaxed, then he came to another and another as he relaxed Nick's tight flesh. Greg now knew why he was always rolling his shoulders and neck.

Nick could not help the moan that escaped his mouth because this felt just too good. Every second that Greg's fingers and hands moved up and down his body he brought him more pleasure. As he got to his lower back he let out a deep breath as more knots were melting away. Nick could honestly say that he had not fully believed Greg when he told him he would take care of him. But now he knew that Greg had meant it, this was not just about sex but he was sure that coming but this was about helping him with everything. Because his mini-breakdown tonight he knew was the cause of months of frustrations and anxieties.

Nick lifted his hip when Greg told him to, smiled when he felt his boxer get pulled off. He let out a moan as Greg hands now worked on his thighs; this got more than one moan. Then Greg moved up his back again, but this time Nick moan because his lips were involved. He places kisses and small nips as he worked his way up. Greg hands now worked on his arm as his mouth now worked his shoulder and neck, Nick moved so Greg would have more room to work with. When Greg whispered for him to roll over he did just that smiling as hands moved up and down his chest. Nick moaned as Greg straddle his hips, Greg smiled as he realized Nick was starting to get turned on.

Greg mouth went to his chest sucking on the left nipple as his fingers worked his stomach moving to his hips. Nick opened himself up gasping as Greg tongue paid as much attention to his nipples as his fingers did to his back. He felt the tingle of sensations run through his body, and then shifted as Greg's hands were now massaging the front of thighs then moved to his hips back to his thighs. Nick kept his eyes closed as his body was becoming overcome with sensations, now that Greg's mouth was moving lower.

Nick cried out loud as Greg's took his erection into his hand, his eyes shot open and he looked down at him. His thumb moved to the tip spreading the leaking pre-cum around using it as lubricant as his palm moved up and down. Nick gulped closing his eyes as Greg's mouth was now nipping licking and sucking at his inner thighs. Greg's free hand moved Nick's thighs a part wider giving him more room to work with, which was okay with him as long as Greg did not stop what he was doing.

Greg smiled as his mouth move closer because Nick was nearly fully erect by now whimpering and moaning. He could hear the soft plea from his lips, and Greg was not going to deny him anything. This was about him, tonight was only about Nick and helping him deal and recover from what happened. Greg smiled when he yelp as he arched off the bed as Greg took him into his mouth. Moaning as the salty tangy pre-cum past his lips, Nick was a flavor he'd never forget. He could only describe it as manly, because there was no sweetness to it. It was all salty and bitter with a hint of musk; and Greg loved every bit of it.

Moving his mouth up and down him he took more of Nick than he had taken of any of his lovers in the past. He moved faster than he had in the past too because he knew that taking care of Nick was now about sex. Nick now had a hand full of his hair moving him to the speed that he liked. Normally Greg fought his lover because he liked to go slow he liked to drive them crazy, but Nick got what Nick wanted. So he used his teeth to scrape the tender flesh, moaning as Nick gasped and whimpered more loudly. Putting his hands under the thighs of his legs he moved them as far apart of Nick's body would allow; quickening his pace.

Nick grabbed the sheets of his bed with both of his hands crying out as his orgasm hit him fast and hard. Greg was almost afraid he gag when Nick came but he didn't instead he did the one thing he swore he'd never do, he swallowed. Nick was watching him as he licked it up then licked his lips as he wiped his mouth, and he realized that began to turn him on again. Nick hands went to the waistband of his boxers, and Greg smiled looking down at him. He could taste Nick on his tongue, and a part of him was sad that he'd never taste it again. But at least he got his one night at least he was able to give him something that no on else could.

"We don't have to," Greg told him softly loving the way Nick's body looked covered in sweat, loving the way he smelled. It was musk and spice mixed the tangy-sweet smell of sex.

"Please," Nick whispered closing his eyes, not wanting to see rejection. Greg had just given him more pleasure than he'd had in years, but it wasn't enough. He needed to forget he needed to be so out of it that he dreamed a dreamless sleep.

"Turn over," Greg said smiling hoping Nick did not see the gleeful look in his eyes. He had almost been afraid Nick would say okay and got to sleep, but he didn't. "Get on all fours."

Greg loved that Nick did as he said, because it made it seem like he was in full control when really it was Nick. Nick decided what they did, if he asked why or made it seem like he didn't like this position Greg would change it. But Nick didn't he did it without question, and Greg smiled as he looked at his tight ass for the first time. When he was giving the massage he looked past it afraid of the temptation. He moved his hand up and down the tight tender flesh placing kisses which got some sounds from Nick.

Opening the tube of lube Greg put a gracious amount on his finger as his tongue began to lick at his cheeks, where he was reward with more sounds. Nick hissed as Greg invaded him pushing past the tight opening. Nick usually did not bottom he liked to be on top like the control but tonight he was in no condition for that, he just wanted to feel, he wanted someone to fuck him senseless. Greg added more lube as he added a second finger scissoring them to stretch the tight little hole then twisting them as he quicken the pace. Nick inhaled and then yelped when Greg hit his prostate, this made Greg smile so he hit it again this time just a little harder wanting to hear that sound again.

When Greg inserted the third finger Nick's breathing was starting to come out as pants because slow was gone. It was clear that Nick did not want soft and gentle, he needed hard and fast. But at the same time Greg would slow his movements down to take his time, because he wanted to drive Nick insane wanted to overload him on sensations so he passed out for hours. This was how Greg Sanders was going to take care of Nick, and this was exactly how it was going to happen.

Greg moved his fingers as Nick begged for him, then whimpered when he withdrew. Greg got out of his boxers that were now damp with pre-cum, and slipped on the condom that he had placed by the lube. He then lubed himself up making sure he was as wet as possible because it was clear it had been awhile since Nick had been taken like this. Putting some of his finger he rubbed it on Nick's hole, wanting to make sure there was as little pain involved as possible. Nick dropped his forehead into his pillow spreading himself wider for Greg, he wanted to be filled by him now.

Nick hissed out Greg's name, as he pushed inside of him, and then stopped as Nick's body adjusted to having him inside. Nick wiggled letting Greg know it was time to move and he did move. At first it was slow and easy strokes, he wanted to make this last as long as possible. When he saw Nick hands move to pump him self Greg stopped his movements whispered in his ear to put his hands back, which Nick did right away. He than moved slower than before showing Nick that only he would be bringing him pleasure, only he would be taking him to the edge and allowing him to fall of the cliff of ecstasy. Nick whimpered a few minutes later, and gave a short plea followed by a whisper that sounded close to begging.

Greg grabbed a hold of Nick's hips and he began to move faster than before but still not fast enough for Nick. Nick had to squeeze his sheets to keep his hands in place because he wanted to touch himself so bad, he wanted the release. Nick cried out as Greg hips changed slightly so he was now thrusting in a new angle now he was hitting his sweet spot over and over again. Greg hands moved around his waist as he lips went down on his shoulder kissing and biting as one hand wrapped around Nick's swollen member. Nick squeezed his eyes shut as he was being overloaded by too much too soon because he didn't know where one pleasure started and the other ended.

Nick felt it start in the back of his spine, felt the tinge that let him know what was about to happen. He expected Greg to slow down but he took the opportunity to move faster than ever before. Nick screamed out loud as his hand twisted just right at the exact moment that he hit his prostate with just the right amount of pressure. Nick knew he had never come so hard in his life because he could not remember anything for the longer time. He knew Greg followed him moments later but he could not remember the feel. Nick just felt him fall on top of him with a grunt of his name, then roll off disposing of the used condom and putting the lube back in the nightstand. Than Nick rolled over placing his head on Greg chest keeping his eyes closed.

Greg knew Nick needed him to stay and he would stay until Nick was so into sleep nothing could wake him. He caressed Nick hair smiling as he listen to his breathing even out. Smiled as he listened to soft mumbled of words he said; finding it adorable that in sleep his accent was much thicker. Nick held onto him tightly so Greg closed his eyes deciding to catch an hour or so of sleep. He knew when he woke up next Nick would not be holding on to him or at least he hoped he wasn't.

XOXOXO

Nick walked through his house that morning expecting to still find Greg there with some excuse but he found nothing. There was no note, nothing to tell Nick that he had been here except for the marks on his body. His truck was parked where Greg had put it, and he found his neighbors outside watching. He waved to them, Mr. Connors he knew understood. He had been a cop with LVPD for many years, so he knew that of all the people he would know what last night was about. When he got in his truck moments later Nick expected to find something but there was nothing. Nick smiled so far Greg had kept up his end of the bargain but he knew work was different.

Walking into work he walked slowly and sucked in a deep breath as he saw Greg, here it would come. But all that came that night was a nod from him as he walked past him to his DNA lab. When they were in the break room and Warrick asked how he was Greg said nothing when he said he worked through it. Greg kept his word because he never brought it up. Even when they were alone he never asked how he was, or if he slept all night which he did. He promised to keep it between them and he was. Hell he wasn't even keeping it between them, and Nick never liked Greg Sanders more than this moment in time.

"I hope you don't mind I asked Greg to check on you," Grissom said softly looking towards Sara who was watching from across the hall.

"No," Nick smiled looking at his knowing that he would be going all out for Christmas this year for him. "Actually I'm grateful…Greg ended up driving me home and calling a cab."

"Yea that is what he told me," Grissom smiled softly knowing how emotional Nick took some cases. Nick looked up smiling glad to see he and Greg were on the same page. "I just know how shaken you look, and I wanted to make sure you were taken care of."

"Don't worry," Nick replied nonchalantly doing his best to hide his smirk as Greg came into view. "Greggo took care of me."

The End
