Gone for Good?

Chapter 1

The alarm clock screeched early one Tuesday morning but she didn't move to turn it off, instead she still laid wrapped around Horatio. The screeching had woke Horatio from his dreams and he looked down at Zoë who seemed to be sleeping peacefully. He pulled her arms from his body and then rolled her onto her back and leant over her to pushed the 'stop' button. She moaned when he moved her. Horatio sat, growing concerned that she hadn't woken.

"Zoë, wake up for me." Horatio asked as he placed his hand on her stomach and then placed the other on her head and pulled the hair from her face. She moaned again and rolled closer to him and mumbled something incoherently.

"Zoë" Horatio said a little louder as he placed his hand on her neck to get her pulse, fearing something was seriously wrong but as soon as his fingers made contact with her neck she shot up so she was sat in the bed, gasping for air and holding her neck as if she'd been strangled.

"Are you okay beautiful?" Horatio asked softly as he rubbed her back. She glanced back at him and took a deep breath.

"Yeah, sorry." She said as she dropped her hands from her neck to her thighs.

"Sorry Zoë, I was taking your pulse." Horatio apologised for causing her to wake so violently. She looked back at him a little confused.

"You didn't wake when the alarm went off or when I tried to wake you." Horatio said softly and she nodded at him.

"Sorry." She said softly and Horatio gave her a small smile. She glanced round to the alarm clock and sighed. She turned around and rose to her knees and placed a steamy kiss on Horatio's lips.

"Did you have a good dream?" She asked as she looked down to his tenting night pants and he chuckled.

"I'd say so, you were there… in a bikini." Horatio grinned at her and she smiled at him with a small giggle. She then released him and climbed out of bed and walked around to pick up a towel. Horatio sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed his face. He quickly opened his eyes when Zoë placed her hand on his shoulder. He looked up at her and she then bent down to place another kiss on his lips. She eased him back until he was laying back on the bed with Zoë laying on him. She then straddled his hips and pulled her top off and looked down at him. He looked up at her and then placed his hands on her hips as she bent back down and placed a kiss on his lips as she placed her hands on his chest. She sat back up and rocked her hips as she undone her bra and threw it over the bed. She then bent back down again and began to kiss at his neck and chest. His hands travelled up her sides and met with her breasts. She gasped and stopped kissing him as he began to tease her nipples. She rose to her knees and sat back up and pulled his night pants from his hips and let them fall to the floor. He sat up and began to mouth at her breasts immediately. Both had forgotten about the time and neither of them no longer cared about the time. Zoë quickly got up and pulled her shorts and underwear from her and then sat back on Horatio.

"Turn around." Horatio said softly as one hand massaged at her breast as the other travelled around to her back and met with her ass. She got up and turned around and then fell to his lap as he gently pulled her down.

"Is this a sex position?" Zoë questioned, already out of breath.

"Yes." Horatio said as he pulled her closer and then kissed her back. He then teased her nipples a little more until she begged him. He took hold of her waist and lifted her. He pulled her closer until her back was touching his chest and then lowered her onto him. Her head fell back to his shoulder as she felt him fill her. He began to slowly thrust into her as she closed her eyes and placed her hands on his thighs. He continued to thrust his hips as well as moving hers using his hands. He began to kiss at the nape of her neck when he got the chance. The sensations felt like they had amplified as she had closed her eyes and she liked it.

"Ah, Horatio" she groaned as her grip tightened on his thighs. She continued to groan every now and then until she felt the fire building inside of her. She turned her head and managed to kiss him. She groaned into his mouth and then broke from the kiss and looked into his eyes as he watched her unravel on his lap.

"Arh! Horatio!" She groaned and she could feel the fire building more as she closed her eyes and turned back to face forward. He let go of her hip with one hand for a second to stimulate one of her nipples.

"Oh gosh Horatio! Horatio!" She groaned and he could feel her beginning to contract around him. He placed his hand back on her hip and became a little more forceful with his thrusts and she began to groan louder. She could feel him hitting the right spot each time he drove into her.

"Horatio!" She shouted as she felt the height of her orgasm, she continued to pulsate around him. He let out a long loud groan and then an unrecognisable moan of her name. He fired into her and then stilled his hips as every muscle in his body screamed at him. His body relaxed and he fell back to the bed, taking Zoë with him.

"Another first to be ticked off the list, sex whilst sitting on the bed." She grinned up at the ceiling. He wrapped his hands and arms around her stomach and exhaled a content moan and then nodded against her head. She giggled a little and then glanced up at the alarm clock.

"Shit! Horatio, we need to shower!" Zoë said as she quickly got up off him and threw a towel at him and then walked into the en-suite. He grunted when the towel made contact with his chest and then eventually sat up. He rose to his feet and felt his muscles screaming at him more. He walked into the main bathroom and then showered. He quickly walked back into the bedroom and changed with Zoë as she quickly tied her hair up.

"That was worth being slightly late for, I must say!" She grinned at him as he chuckled a little.

They quickly walked downstairs together and went straight to work. They were immediately called out to a body found at a hotel.

"Do you want to ride with me or are you driving?" Horatio asked Zoë as they walked through the lab.

"I'll drive myself." She said with a small smile and Horatio nodded at her. The entire team turned up at the hotel and looked down on the young woman's body as she lay in one of the cabanas, lifeless, having been shot.

"Poor woman." Zoë said as she got some photo's before Alexx checked the body over.

"Alexx, who have we got?" Horatio asked as he placed his hands on his hips.

"Kerry Stevens, she was 20 years old." Alexx said softly and Zoë joined Horatio and stood by his side and looked down at the young woman.

"Do we know if she was sexually assaulted?" Zoë questioned Alexx.

"I don't think so, but I'll have to do a sex kit when I get back." Alexx said softly and Zoë nodded. Zoë walked away after glancing at Horatio and got on with processing the scene. 30 minutes later, Zoë stood up and looked back at the hotel. Horatio glanced back at her and then looked back round to Frank and continued to talk. Horatio took a double take when he saw Zoë focussing on the hotel with lowered eyebrows.

"Zoë?" Horatio raised his voice and called her, then looked back to Frank and apologised. Frank gave him a nod and then looked back down at his note pad. Horatio turned around and studied Zoë, then looked back to the hotel and then quickly made his way over to her.

"Zoë, are you okay?" Horatio questioned, as he approached her, causing Alexx and Ryan to look round to her. Horatio's heart began to beat wildly when she didn't answer or respond to him. Alexx stood up, beginning to think that something was wrong with Zoë and snapped her gloves off.

"Zoë, answer me beautiful." Horatio said as he reached out for her. She quickly glanced at him and then flicked her heels off and pulled her gun from her holster and sprinted away. Horatio turned to watch her running for the hotel with her gun in her hand, barefoot.

"Zoë!" Horatio yelled as he began to run after her. She was running towards a crowd of people. She jumped over some sunbeds and carried on running as fast as she could. Alexx, Ryan, Eric and Walter had all got up and stood together, watching Horatio run after Zoë, all extremely confused.

"Where the hell is she going?" Walter questioned, seeing her get closer to the group of people and then run around them. They then saw Horatio run around the group and out onto the street after Zoë. Horatio saw Zoë stop and continued to run at her.

"Zoë! What are you doing?" Horatio questioned, out of breath, startled and completely confused. Zoë turned around to look down the street, filled with people and then looked back to Horatio.

"I lost him!" Zoë exhaled as she put her gun away and then took a deep breath.

"Lost who?" Horatio questioned as he looked at her, concerned.
