Chapter 1: Waking in a Dream

Sara Sidle was exhausted. They'd been out all night for the past three days collecting evidence from a shooting in the park near the school her supervisor's daughter was at.

She had been piecing together crime scene photos, but her head had dropped onto the cool surface of the table as she fell asleep, knowing, somehow, this dream would be anything except ordinary. Lately, her dreams had changed from happy and upbeat to...hot and racy, though she would never admit about who.

Her colleague entered with a smile. Sara always looked so peaceful when she fell asleep at her desk. In truth, Catherine Willows had been eyeing her up for quite a while and she couldn't help but take the rare opportunity to press a soft kiss to Sara's lips as she slept.

Sara smiled, but didn't wake, a sigh leaving her lips as well as one word. A name. One she'd never speak with a whimper awake. "...Cath..."

Catherine smiled, stroking the brunette's cheek as she leant in to kiss her a little harder.

Sara moaned softly, kissing back in her sleep, knowing she was still dreaming.

Thinking the return of the kiss was mutual, Catherine deepened it, pulling Sara closer.

The tug pulling her out of her sleep, Sara was startled awake, a blush coloring her cheeks. "Ca-Catherine? Oh God, I-I'm sorry! I've just been s-I...I mean.."

"What do you mean?" Catherine asked, a slight smirk on her face trying to watch the younger woman come up with a reasonable explanation.

Sara took a step back. "I'm exhausted. Three days! Nonstop! It's enough to take a week off of my life," she said, but her mind couldn't help wandering.

"And what about the emotional few days I've had?"

"I'd imagine you're more tired than I am, but then... why kiss me? I-I haven't even..." she groaned. "God, not that dream again! I-I'm so sorry! It-it's just...for some reason, I trust you and I...my dreams have run amok the past few months."

"You think I haven't noticed the little looks you've been giving me?"

Sara smirked. "And you didn't think they were attributed to just being crazy?"

"I hoped they weren't," Catherine replied, her voice softening.

Sara felt her voice almost disappear. "H-hope?" she said, barely audible. "Wh-why... what are you saying?" In honesty, retreating and denying everything was somewhere within her brain, but it was heavily fogged over just by looking at Catherine. She had no use for running, ability or want.

"You think I kissed you 'cause I'm tired?"

"I...well, mostly, I-I thought I was dreaming, so..." Sara stammered.

"And you know that now, us, here, is very much real, right?"

She had no voice, just nodded. "Wh...why?" she asked, barely heard. "What's so great about me?" Sara said, voice getting more volume. "So... you actually f-feel...?" She gripped the edge of the table so she didn't fall, knuckles turning white.

Catherine leant in capturing Sara's lips lightly for a few seconds before pulling back slightly. "When I kissed you, I wanted to kiss you, and... if you want me to kiss you, then I'll do it again..."

Sara took a few steps toward her, studying her expression. Nothing about her face, or her posture suggested this would ever just be once. She nodded, "Why...would you want..."

"Until recently I didn't have a clue you felt the same."

"Recently? Well, I do try to hide it just in case...you know...you didn't think that or it risked my job..."

"You do realize you're doing your nervous babble, right?"

"Uhh...Right now, yes, b-but I..."

"You what, Sara?"

Sara shook her head, sighing. "Uh, can't you just shut me up so this embarrassment can end?"

"Like this?" Catherine asked before kissing Sara passionately.

Sara wrapped her arms around her, kissing back with full force, moaning.

Catherine moaned into the kiss, pushing Sara back into the office chair.

Sara moaned. pulling Catherine on top of her in the chair, moaning. "W-wait..." she panted.

"What?" Catherine asked, a little breathlessly.

"Is this a fling where we'll forget what happened and ignore it? I don't think I could stand that..."

Catherine studied her face for a moment, her hand lightly brushing Sara's cheek. "Wh... No, I..." she managed, before planting her lips against Sara's again in yet another passionate kiss, unable to be that close to the woman without kissing her.

Sara moaned into the kiss, defying her own logic, what was standing as far as inter-office relationships. She couldn't bring herself to care as she kissed her harder, moaning.

Catherine slipped her tongue into Sara's mouth, her hands moving to brush against her breast.

Sara moaned, her tongue playing with Catherine's, moaning as she shed her jacket, kissing her deeper. "Mmmm, God, yes..."

Catherine moaned, pulling back to remove Sara's shirt before planting her lips back, her hands lightly brushing Sara's exposed chest.

Sara moaned, gripping Catherine's jacket as she struggled to get it off of her..

Catherine shrugged it off then reached to unclasp Sara's bra, her fingers circling one of her nipples.

"God..." Sara moaned. "Yes..." Her hands, pulled Catherine's shirt off over her head.

Catherine dipped her head taking the peak in her mouth then flicked it lightly with her tongue.

"Yes!" Sara said, unclasping Catherine's bra and throwing it to the floor. "Yes..."

Catherine bit a little, as she unfastened Sara's trousers.

Sara groaned. "Mmmm. God, I feel like I'm still dreaming..."

"What were you dreaming about?" Catherine asked as she unzipped the trousers, pushing a hand inside them.

Sara felt herself having no regrets or restraints. She hadn't meant for this to happen. Only dream it would. And here they were."Y-you..." she moaned, wrapping her arms around her and kissing her hard. "Fuck!" she moaned into her mouth becoming wetter at each thought and intake of short breath.

"Doing?" Catherine managed, rubbing the wetness over her clit.

"Oh...God! This..."

Catherine pinched slightly before her fingers moved, pushing inside Sara, moaning at her wetness.

Sara moaned loudly into her mouth, running her hands through Catherine's hair. "Please!"

Catherine moaned, curling her fingers as she worked faster and harder.

Sara found herself nearly jumping to wrap herself around Catherine's waist, grinding into her hand, moaning into her ear. "God...oh...I..I can't hold it!"

"Then don't," she whispered, sucking just below her ear moaning, her fingers curling deeper.

Sara screamed into her neck, biting Catherine to muffle it, cumming hard, shaking against her.

Catherine moaned loudly. "So sexy," she whispered.

Sara smiled, kissing her hard. "I suppose you'd like to be paid back?" she asked with a smirk.

Catherine slowly removed her fingers, brushing them over Sara's clit as she did so. "Some of us have work to do," she whispered in her ear before moving away to the door, smirking, "See ya soon, Sidle."

Sara smiled, nodding. "See ya," she said, quickly redressing. "Hell of a wake up call," she muttered to herself.
