Chapter 1: Ready for a change

Over a year later

August 11, 2006

After Grissom finished the last bite of his food, he gets up from the kitchen/dinning room table and walks towards the sink, where Sara was standing doing other dishes, and after placing his plate on the kitchen counter next to the sink, he stopped behind her, wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her neck before whispering in her ear. "Dinner was great, thank you."

Sara smiled. "Thank you. I've learned from the best."

Since they started living together, Sara had been getting some cooking lessons from Grissom, and she was slowly getting better each meal.

He shyly smiled against her neck from her compliment before she continued with a smirk. "But, just because I've gotten better, doesn't mean you are relieved of cooking duties for most of the time."

After one more kiss to her neck, he whispered one more time. "I wouldn't dream of it, dear."

She chuckled as he released her, and after getting his glass from the table, he walked towards her again. "Do you want me to finish the dishes?"

She shook her head. "Nah, I got it. Maybe you should double check your bags though, just to make sure you didn't forget to pack something."

Catherine and Warrick invited them to go to Miami for a special reason, the arrival of their new baby, their miracle baby they like to call her since they never thought that having biological children together was ever going to happen.

Of course when they invited them, it was two separate invites, not knowing they were a couple, so as far as they knew, it was two friends spending time together outside of the lab.

Grissom replied as he was walking towards the bedroom. "Good idea."

When he made it to the room, he grabbed his duffel bag and placed it on the bed before going through it, and when he was satisfied, he placed it back down on the floor next to the door before walking into the bathroom, where a small carrying case for his bathroom items were sitting on the counter, and even though most of the items he was going to put in there was things he still needed to use before going to sleep tonight, he knew there was at least one thing he could put in there right now as he thought of it, which were his migraine pills. He hasn't had one in awhile, or at least a very bad one, but just to be on the safe side, he opened the medicine cabinet and grabbed the bottle.

As he was about to close it, a can of shaving cream caught his eye, so he paused for a second before closing the cabinet until he saw his reflection in the mirror then ran his hand down his beard, and after another pause, he opened the cabinet again, took the shaving cream out and closed it all the way this time while smiling as he looked down at the can in his hand.

After the dishes were taken care of, Sara went around the condo, tidying up, but really there wasn't much to do since for the most part they keep their living space pretty clean and in order, then she headed for the bedroom, and when she didn't notice Grissom in there, she asked. "Grissom?"

From the closed bathroom, he replied. "Yeah, I'll be out in a few minutes."

She nodded with a smile. "Ok." Before grabbing her suitcase to make sure she had everything she needed, and once she was satisfied, she closed it back up and placed it back next to Grissom's bag.

With her back to Grissom, who had just walked out of the bathroom, he cleared his throat to get her attention, making her smile as she turned around, then she gasped as she placed her hand up to her mouth and said in shock. "Griss, what did you do!?"

He ran his hand down his now clean shaven face while asking with curiosity. "What? Do you not like it?"

She walked up to him while shaking her head. "Now, I didn't say that, I just, wow, I uh..."

She trailed off as he smirked. "You're really that speechless?"

She chuckled as she stopped in front of him. "I guess so, this is the first time I've seen you without your beard since we've been a couple, so it's been awhile for this look. I thought you loved your beard."

"I did." He shrugged. "But I was ready for a change." Then he got a little self-conscious and asked in a more serious tone than he did the first time. "But really, do you like it?"

Still mesermized by his clean-shaven face, she smiled sincerely as she slowly moved her hand to touch his bare cheek, something she hadn't been done in years, during a very different time in their lives. "I love it, and it definitely brings back some memories."

As she ran her thumb up and down his cheek, he asked after clearing his throat. "Like what kind of memories?"

She swallowed before speaking softly. "Well for one, the first time we met you were clean-shaven."

"That is true, any more?"

She nodded with a smile. "And you remember when I said I envisioned our first kiss?"

He wrapped his arms around her waist and brought her closer. "Yeah, of course."

"Well, you didn't exactly have a beard in my vision."

He raised an eyebrow at that piece of information before asking with a smile. "Do I even want to know what time period you thought of our first kiss?"

She chuckled with a smirk. "I don't think that would be wise, Dr. Grissom."

Getting the hint, he chuckled a little before moving close to her ear, sliding his soft cheek against hers, making her close her eyes at the feel of it before he whispered. "Naughty, Ms. Sidle. Did you always fantasize about kissing your teachers?"

He turned his head to kiss her cheek as she whispered in honesty while moving her arms so they were around his neck. "Only the one that mattered the most to me, the only one that I ever wanted."

He stopped kissing her and pulled back so their eyes could connect after she opened her eyes, and she cupped his cheek again with a smile, seeing his shocked look. "Even after over a year of being with me, you're still not use to hearing me express how much I love you, how much I've always wanted to be with you."

He cleared his throat to get the emotion out before he started speaking. "I guess a part of me is still in shock that this is really happening, that you really do love me and want to be with me."

She ran her thumb up and down his cheek for comfort before continuing with emotion. "Well, you better get use to it, babe, because it's happening and I'm never going to stop telling you how much I love you and want to be with you."

He took a breath and nodded with a smile. "I love you too."

Her eyes started to sparkle as she nodded. "I know."

After a moment of just looking at one another with love in their eyes, hers turned a little dark with passion, making him swallow again as she brings him closer to her and whispered. "Now, let's see how this really feels."

He smiled as he whispered. "Yes dear." Before kissing her cheek again then going down to her neck before moving her shirt collar the best he could so he could kiss her collarbone, whispering against her skin. "How is that?"

He pulled back after a few seconds later, and she cleared her throat as she took his hand and walked them towards the bed. "It was good, but I think, you know being the scientist that we are, there needs to be further testing."

As she finished talking, Grissom surprised her when he swooped her up in his arms bridal style, making her gasp before chuckling as she wrapped hers arms around his neck, then her heart raced even more as she saw the passion in his eyes. "I think you're right, Ms. Sidle, we need a more satisfying result."

He kissed her as he walked them towards their bed, setting her down when he got there so she was sitting up on the side of it, then he kneeled down to took her shoes and socks off before he ran his hands up her pant covered thighs to the hem of her shirt, and when he saw nothing but love, passion and desire in her eyes as she lifted her arms up, he slipped her shirt off, revealing her in her bra before he moved forward to kiss her passionately as they moved until she was laying down with him above her.

Eventually the sheet was their only cover, but before they took it to the final level, he pulled back and looked her with one of the most loving and tender looks she's ever seen, and she cups his cheek with a smile and love in her eyes with a nod.

He smiled in return as she brought him back down to her and they kissed, pushing them forward for a night of passion, an act that wasn't new to them by this point, but it still felt like it, in the best possible way.

AN: More to come. Thanks for reading and please review.
