3 Months After This Is What It's All About;

Chapter: 1

We Have Plenty Of Time;

The sound of the alarm going off startled Calleigh out of her deep sleep, she jumped slightly but then heard the sound subside. She sighed softly and let out a faint giggle feeling something warm and wet press kisses along her neck. The room was filled with soft sucking sounds as Eric whispered good morning against her ear. His chest heavily pressed against her back while one hand slipped down along her stomach and between her thighs. Calleigh gasped out parting her lips feeling his hand travel under her panties and over her core.

Eric smirked against her neck while continuing his soft lazy kisses across her skin. Calleigh turned over on her back to grant him better access between her legs. She looked up at him as he hovered over top of her, his fingers pressed against her clit softly rubbing in little circles feeling her already wet. He loved that he could do that to her with just a touch.

"You know we are already running behind – we – we – oh that feels -," Calleigh tried to speak out to tell him that they didn't have time to fool around this morning but she knew Eric knew that with just one touch he could pull her away from those thoughts. They had been late almost all week and if they weren't careful everyone at the lab were going to know something as going on between them.

"Not today, I set the alarm twenty minutes early –we have plenty of time." His voice was soft with his early morning seduction as he moved his hand away from her wetness and pulled her panties down tossing them over his shoulder while he settled himself between her legs. He brushed some hair from her face and felt her jerk. Eric had already removed his boxers from his body and his erection was poking against her heat.

"You planned this?" she stated the obvious as Eric nodded and leaned down to softly capture her lips. The kiss was intense and Eric wasn't going to give her time to protest about being late any further so he let his hand drag along her sides as he gripped her hips and thrusted himself inside of her. Calleigh shuddered and bit his bottom lip with a loud moan. Eric let out a soft growl feeling her teeth penetrate into the skin of his bottom lip. It turned him on that at any moment she could make things so rough. He had learned in the past few months of dating her that Calleigh had a wild side to her.

He would have never thought that she would like it rough sometimes, but then again things are different behind closed doors. He watched her face while her head tilted back against her pillow, her eyes closed and the look of ecstasy placed on her face. "O –Oh Eric -," she breathed out feeling his erection spread her inner walls with each thrust. He was going slow because he knew that it drove her crazy, but he wanted to build his way up to the blissful moment, not rush it like they did sometimes when they had little time to make love.

He felt her slick walls contract around his girth causing penetration to get harder for him, he let out a low growl and nipped at her throat and down along the valley of her breasts. Calleigh's mewls filled the room as he thrusted himself harder inside of her. She drug her nails up and down his back until she gripped his shoulders feeling him pull out of her. She opened her eyes and gave him an evil look before he teased her entrance with his cock not pushing it in all the way. She groaned and wrapped her legs around his waist forcing him back inside of her, they both moaned together.

"Not nice to tease me -," she growled softly with a grin nipping at his lips. She felt his tongue swipe across her bottom lip before letting it roam around the inside of her mouth to fight against her tongue. He kissed her passionately; it was like he needed her lips to breath when in reality he took her breath away. She moaned feeling his growing cock rub against her slick cavern walls, his pace quickened by this point and he could feel himself ready to erupt inside of her. Calleigh could feel it too, but wanted the feeling to last longer.

Eric didn't give her chance as he slipped his hand down were their bodies were joined together and rubbing his fingers over her swollen clit. Calleigh shuddered burring her face in the nape of his neck softly sucking on his skin. "God Cal – Oh –I don't know how much longer I can -," Eric tried to moan out while thrusting himself in and out of her. The bed shook in protest beneath them as he went a little harder that time hearing her whimper he pulled his hand away quickly and looked at her. He was afraid he hurt her but then he saw her smile and felt her wrap her arms around his neck and pulled him down for a sensual kiss.

She arched her hips upward into his only to feel his hardcore thrust push her back down. Calleigh unwrapped her legs around him and moved them with her knees up in the air. She broke the kiss to catch her breath and felt Eric slide his hands up her arms and pin her hands down on the side of her head. "I – I –I cant feel it – Oh –E –E –Eric-," Calleigh's voice sounded like a scream as she squeezed his hands tightly feeling him thrust his cock up harder inside of her she let her body clinch while her walls contracted hard around him with her sweet orgasm.

Eric felt his body shake with his own release, as he shot cum up inside of her. His hips still rocked at a fast pace but it slowed down. Calleigh took advantage of his slight weakness and pulled her hands away from his to bring them to the back of his head as she pulled him down to kiss him roughly and passionately. Eric kissed her back moaning against her mouth as he slowed his body down, his erection still throbbing inside of her walls. He rolled them over as the sheets came with them; her body was so light on top of his. He loved to feel her skin against his own.

Eric broke the kiss and looked up at her, her face was flush and her hair was a mess. But she still looked as beautiful as ever to Eric. He smiled with his lips brushing against hers, "Your incredible, baby, you know that?" he whispered moving some hair from her face while leaning his head up to kiss her lips once more. Calleigh deepened the kiss once again and had to force herself to pull away this time. Her eyes shot momentarily over to the clock on the night stand. Eric watched her and knew how she was about being late so he wasn't going to prolong this any longer and have her be mad at him later.

"We have to -," she started to say before she felt his lips press to hers once more.

"I know -," he whispered pulling his lips back while sitting up with her in his lap. "Go take a shower and I'll make some coffee." He said nodding his head towards the bathroom. She smiled and gave him a quick kiss on the lips before hopping off the bed and heading into the bathroom. Eric watched her naked form as she walked, god was she a sight. Eric sat there for a few minutes and rubbed his eyes before slipping his boxers back on and headed down the hall and into the kitchen to make them coffee.

After a few minutes he headed back into the bedroom and made the bed up but while he was doing that he felt a pain in his head. He ignored it at first then it was so bad it brought him down to his knees almost instead he fell against the bed. He closed his eyes tightly and whimpered softly hoping the pain would go away before Calleigh saw him. He didn't want to worry her. He swallowed hard opening his eyes letting his vision focus again. He waited for most of the hard pain to go way before he attempted to get back up again. He sighed and shook his head like he was trying to shake his thoughts off and slipped off his boxers.

He took in a deep breath trying to get the pain and worry off his face before he walked into the steaming bathroom. He slid the shower door open seeing Calleigh standing there washing the soap from her body. She turned and looked at Eric with a smile as he stepped in. She looked at him seeing him look a little flush, sure they just had a wild session of love making but something was different. "Eric? A –Are you ok?" Calleigh asked softly, her voice full of concern as she stepped closer to him putting her wet hand on his cheek.

He smiled at her just gazing into her eyes moving his hand over top of hers, "I'm fine. I made your coffee," he said to her trying to change the subject quickly. Calleigh looked at him for a minute longer and nodded deciding he was alright. She smiled and kissed his chest lightly hearing him moan, "You keep doing that, and we'll be late for sure this time."

Calleigh giggled lightly and leaned up on her tippy toes to give him a light kiss on the lips before slipping out the shower door. Eric chuckled and smiled to himself. He was so happy and in love with Calleigh, he thought about their future everyday –what it would be like to marry her and have children possibly? He knew that, that would all be a long time from now but still he thought about it. He sighed to himself putting his hands out in front of him to press against the shower wall as he hung his head low feeling the water hit the back of his head and neck. The pain in the side of his head started up again, but this time it was more of a throbbing pain so it wasn't that bad.

"Are you sure you're ok? You barely ate anything at breakfast." Calleigh looked at him worried as they pulled into the parking lot of the lab. They were usually careful about coming to work together but Eric asked her last night in front of the gang if she wanted him to drive her home because it was late and she looked tired. So it was the perfect excuse if anyone asked, Calleigh had left her car here last night, she had no other way of getting here today. Besides that it wouldn't have mattered anyhow, they would end up at each others place last night at sometime. Eric's closet looked like Calleigh's now; they both had space for each others things. It felt natural to wake up at either house and just get ready for work, they both had grown comfortable with each other enough to have that 'space' most people in relationships weren't sure about.

Eric parked the car and smiled over at her taking her tiny hand in his own. "I promise Cal – everything is alright. I just have a bit of a headache is all –I'll be ok." His smile was reassuring but he knew with Calleigh she would still worry. He studied her face for a moment and quickly kissed her hand so no one would see if they were looking.

"A –Alright. But you'd tell me if you thought it was anything serious right?" Calleigh knew he still had a bullet in his head and it scared her every day because something could go wrong and he could be hurt again.

He nodded his head to her, "Of course I would, Cal. Now come on, we don't want to be late again." With that he hesitantly let go of her hand and got out and headed into the lab with her. Eric tried to steal a few kisses in the elevator and she was actually willing to let him but once they thought they were alone Ryan came running up to stop the doors from closing. "Hey! Thanks –man the traffic was terrible this morning," he said shoving his hands in his pockets balancing back and forth on the ball of his heals.

After the elevator dinged they got off and went their separate ways. Calleigh and Eric shot a quick glance at one another just as they always did every morning before going off to do their things for the day. Calleigh had a few bullets to process so she went to her ballistics lab and fired off a few rounds on the 9mm. Her mind wondered the whole time she was firing, she was focused on her work, but Eric clouded her mind just as he always did. This time though she was more worried about him then anything. She had seen him get a few headaches every now and then but they never worried her like they were now.

She sighed and sat down her gun and pulled off her head phones. She walked over to her desk and smiled seeing a picture in its frame she had placed there about a month ago. She was cleaning some things out in her locker and found a picture of her, Eric and Speedle together; it was a taken a few months before he was killed. Calleigh admired it for a moment and frowned. Speedle's birthday was coming up soon. Every year it was hard for not only her on that day, but for Eric and Horatio as well. They still went to his grave to visit and have a drink afterwards it was something all three of them did every year since his death. Calleigh sighed and let her thoughts escape her mind as she continued her work.

Eric closed his eyes after setting down some pictures on the layout table, his head was throbbing so hard any movement or sound would drive him crazy he knew for sure. He sighed and leaned forward on the table his face in his hands waiting for the pain to go away, he didn't want to say anything to anyone because that would mean he would have to go get checked out. If something was wrong with him then he would possibly be back in the hospital again and on desk duty. But most importantly he didn't want to worry anyone, especially Calleigh. They had been doing so good lately, everything was going perfect for them and he didn't want to ruin that by getting sick or something.

He felt most of the pain start to subside but kept his face in his hands. He just wanted to be sure before he opened his eyes that the pain wouldn't come back. "Calleigh must have really rocked your world before work –your dragging today Delko."

That voice Eric knew it anywhere, "Speed?" he said uncovering his face. There he was standing right in his lab. Eric took a minute to adjust his eyes to make sure his mind wasn't playing a trick on him. It couldn't be Speedle, he was dead –right? A flood of memories washed through his mind at that moment. Everything but Speed's death, for some reason he couldn't see that. He closed his eyes tightly once again and then opened them to make sure he wasn't dreaming. This happened to him before; Speed was trying to give him a message while helping them all solve a case.

Did Eric imagine Speed's death? Was that just a dream he was stuck in, if so what a wicked dream to have. It felt so real. Eric walked around the layout table and stood in front of him. Tim just laughed at the look on his face and put his hands in his pockets.

Eric smirked at him, he was real it looked just like Speedle and his voice was the same. Eric shook his head crossing his arms over his chest, "Your back?" Eric asked with a hint of happiness yet confusion in his voice.

"I never left -," he simply stated. It was silent, both men just looking at one another. Eric uncrossed his arms and cocked his brow.

"Good then you can help me go through these – wait what was it you said about me and Calleigh?" Eric said to him with a grin. He never told anyone about him and Calleigh and he knew for sure that she didn't. So how did Tim know?

Speed rolled his eyes with a chuckle, "Come on man, you really think I couldn't tell? I'm a little shocked you didn't tell me, thought we were friends?" Speed joked with him.

Erick chuckled then laughed leaning back against the table. "Are we that obvious?" Eric asked with a grin seeing Speed smirk with a small nod. "Well if you would stick around I would have told you sooner or later -," Eric stated to him seeing the look on Tim's face soften a little. "Where you been, man?" Eric asked him leaning off the table now and turned his back to Speedle for a moment to retrieve some photos.

"I was down in DNA –I told you this morning I'd be heading down here -," Ryan said a little bit confused by Eric's tone.

Eric whipped around quickly dropping the pictures that were in his hands on the floor. He looked at Ryan with shock on his face and then looked around him and over top of his head through the glass to see where Speedle went. "Where did Spe -," Eric caught himself before he said the name. Ryan looked around the lab and the hallway to see what Eric was looking at.

"You alright? You look like you just seen a ghost or something," Ryan said to him a bit surprised by Eric's actions. Eric let his eyes fall on Ryan's as he shook his head and bent down to pick up the pictures he dropped on the floor.

"Yes I'm fine -," Eric said quickly making a pile with the photos and then stood up to put them back on the layout table.

Ryan knew he was lying but didn't press; he would just Calleigh what was up with him. After all she and Eric were best friends and even though Ryan asked him a few months back what was going on between him and Calleigh he said they were just friends. Ryan knew different though, "Yeah – ok, well the gum that was found in the girl's hair belonged to a Jared Tucker. We're bringing him in for questioning now -," Ryan said looking at Eric with confusion and slight worry on his face.

"I'm fine!" Eric repeated himself once again. He knew Ryan was going to ask him again so he figured he would save him the breath. Ryan put his hand out in defense, "Thanks for your concern though." Eric said apologetically. Ryan nodded to him and backed out of the room leaving Eric looking dumbfounded and slightly frustrated.
