Disclaimer: I don't own CSI if I did I would have Greg tied up in my closet for safe keeping and I don't own 'Desert Rose' by Sting either. Just borrowing.
"I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand"
I never thought she could love me. Well I wished she would but she always wanted someone else. For years I've watched her, hoping for that one day that just maybe, she might love me back…
"I dream of fire
Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire"
There's a knock at my door. When I open the door she's standing there. "Sara, what are you doing here?" I ask as I move out of the way to let her inside…rain does not come light in Vegas after all. When I shut the door she's just standing there then suddenly comes up to me and says, "I finally realize where I belong." And she kisses me. Passionately. And I kiss her back…
"This desert rose
Each of her veils a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this"
'No stop, stop, stop! We should talk about this, take it slow. God, she tastes good…wait, what about work and the rest of the team? Her hair smells amazing…I've waited for this moment long enough I can't wait anymore!' Somehow we get to the bedroom, leaving a trail of clothes along the way…
"And as she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothing's as it seems"
Her touch spreads like wildfire over my skin. The rest of the world fades. All I can think of is her in my arms, her body against mine…
"I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
I dream of rain I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I close my eyes
The rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of her love"
Finally the day has come. The day where Sara loves me back. I see it in her eyes when I look at her as we give into our desires…
"I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
Sweet desert rose
Each of her veils a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this"
A smiles starts to appear on my face as we lay here trying to catch our breath. I run my fingers through her hair and kiss her softly on the lips. We just look in each others eyes and listen to the sound of traffic outside. God she's beautiful…
"Sweet desert rose
This memory of Eden haunts us all
This desert flower
This rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of the fall"
Sara closed her eyes for a minute and when she opened them she says, "Sorry it took so long." "For what?" "For me to realize Grissom couldn't love me more than the job." I lean over and kiss her on the forehead and say, "Sara, I'd wait forever for you." She smiles and snuggles closer to me and says, "I love you Greg." "I love you too. Always have, always will."
