Chapter 1

Not Just Another Night in Vegas

Gil Grissom sat secluded in his office. He had the assignments in hand but something was on his mind. As always he looked out the open door to see the one thing on his mind. Sara Sidle. As he sat and just stared at her thinking about what he should do with her. His heart always tried to get him to just take her and love her like he has always wanted. On the other end of the spectrum, his brain was telling him that if he were to have her he would be risking both of their jobs, and he just wasn't ready for that. Knowing how much she loved being a CSI. Then he thought he heard someone.

"Helloooooo"

He continued to look at Sara with glazed over eyes. The voice came again.

"Hello, earth to Gil. Can you hear me?"

Finally he snapped out of it and blankly looked at the red head. Catherine was staring right into his eyes and she knew that his eyes didn't lie.

"What do you want Catherine?" Knowing what was coming. She always pestered him about Sara.

"Well lets start with work, but that's not what's on your mind at the moment. That cute brunette has you hypnotized. Damn it Gil, shy don't you just ask her out. What harm is there in that?" She always loved to push his buttons when it came to Sara. She knew they were meant for each other and even Ray Charles can see her love for him.

"Why, I'll tell you why. Because it wouldn't just stop at dinner. The woman has captivated my spirit. She's in my heart, my soul, and even my dreams. She's there every time I close my eyes. I just see her lying there on my bed..."

"Ok, stop I get the picture. You don't have to go into details with me. Gil I want to help. Stop worrying about what the lab will say. Everyone already can't wait for you to finally take the plunge. Here I'll tell you what to do this evening." She leans over the desk and begins to whisper in his ear as Nick walks by and sees what's going on.

He continues to the break room and says, "I just came by Grissom's office and looks like he and Cat were getting kinda friendly, better keep an eye on him Warrick."

Greg scoffs and replies, "You all know that they are good friends and that Grissom has a thing for Sara. Maybe Catherine is trying to help give him a push."

"Give who a push?" as if on cue Grissom and Catherine enter the room.

Greg sat looking dumfounded. No one liked it when Grissom entered at just the wrong time, cause no one wanted to tell him the truth yet they couldn't lie to him either. When Greg didn't answer Grissom continued.

"Alright Catherine, Warrick you have a DB at the Sphere. Nick, Greg and this is especially for you Greg. Vega called in a DB at The Fuzz that appears to be a trick roll."

"Yesssss!" Greg was up and spinning when the supervisor came to surface.

"Hey, we are talking about a persons life here. I don't give a rats ass who the victim is. You need to treat every case with professional respect or your ass can be back in the lab." Grissoms face was stern as he glared over his glasses at Greg. "Are we clear?"

By now Greg felt as if he was 2 inches tall and everyone was looking at him. He just hung his head and responded, "Yes Sir."

Just at that moment Sara walked in. "Hey sorry I'm late, I was checking up on some things in ballistics." She stopped and looked at everyone, "Did I miss something?"

"Yes, you missed assignments." snapped Grissom as he continued to stare at Greg.

Catherine broke in by clearing her throat and looking at Grissom. She then raised her eye brows up and moved her eyes to Sara and back. Grissom caught on and realized what he had done.

"Ok every one can go. Sara would you please stay for a minute?" Think Gil think what do you do now. You just took her head off in front of everyone. Real smooth.

Sara just sat down and waited for what could be a chewing out. Got how she hated it when he asked her to stay behind. Being alone with him in the same room was enough to make he blood boil. Grissom then moved over and sat down beside her and scooted his chair closer to hers. She silently pleaded with her body to stay in control. It was impossible. The tingling started, followed by aching between her legs. God how she wanted him. He sat there looking at her while she stared at the table with her hands crossed in front of her refusing to move or look at him. And just when she least expected the reached out and took her hands in his and spun her to face him. She still refused to look in his eyes afraid of what she might see. He the lifted her chin up so she could look at him.

"Look at me Sara." his voice was low and soothing and she couldn't resist she had to look into his eyes.

"I'm sorry I snapped at you. It had nothing to do with you. I know that you are still working on your case from yesterday. I will be doing paper work tonight so if you need some help with something please don't hesitate to ask." as he saw her eyes soften he thought, whew dodged that bullet.

"I appreciate the offer but no. So far it's looking pretty open and shut. I might actually finish in time to go home at a decent time. And don't worry about apologizing. I just walked in at the wrong time. It happens." by now her breathing was erratic and her heart was racing. He's holding my hands, he touched my face. Damn it get a grip. She smiled at him and then attempted to get up to leave.

But she couldn't. He still held her hands and continued to gaze into her eyes. It was something that she had never seen before. She sat back down and broke the silence.

"Is there anything else?" please say no my body can't take anymore of this torture.

"As a matter of fact yes there is." come on just tell her. Catherine's right. "I was wondering if you...uh...if you would care to join me for breakfast?" There it was it hung out there. He sat and waited for a response. Looking into her eyes he could tell that she was stunned.

Sara was indeed speechless. She was having an internal battle with her self. And her heart won out. "Yes, I would love to have breakfast with you. Just let me know when and where."

"Well if you don't mind I would like to cook for you. I can make about anything."

"That's fine." Then the conversation began to take a high school crush kinda turn. With very little words and some understanding.

"Ok."was Grissoms only response.

"Ok."Sara said smiling at him.

"Great... See you later."

"Yeah...Later." was all she could render as words as he got up and started back to his office.

Sara threw her head into her hands. Damn Sidle is that all you can say, one worded sentences. How adolescent is that. Oh well he asked me for breakfast at his place. Then it hit her. HIS PLACE.

Grissom made it back to his office in one piece. He sat down behind his desk and began to think of what to do next. On cue his phone rang.

"Grissom."

"Hey Gil, so did you take that all fateful step?" Catherine couldn't wait till she got back to ask and what Grissom didn't know was that Warrick was standing there listening to the whole conversation.

"Yeah, and she said yes."

"So let me guess you don't know what to do next?" Silence "Gil just follow your heart. You need to stop trying to analyze everything about that woman. Just let your instinct take over. Gotta go." and without a response she hung up.

Grissom hung up and looked at the stack of files on his desk, and thought to himself this is going to be one long night.

After shift.

Grissom was going nuts. He'd showered, trimmed his beard and added a conditioner to make it soft. He wasn't sure but he heard through David that Sara liked "scruff" as she once blatantly put it. He dressed simple, royal blue polo shirt and black jeans. He kept thinking that he was forgetting something he for starting breakfast. Sara was supposed to be here in 15 minutes. So he proceeded to the kitchen when he heard the doorbell. He hesitated before opening the door and sucked in a breath, "It's now or never."

He opened the door and there stood the one who made him tick. Sara was dressed in a light yellow tank top and low rise jeans. Her hair was still damp from her shower. She smiled and said, "Well you look handsome."

Grissom's jaw just hung when he realized he hadn't invited her in. He stepped back, "Come in, I was just getting ready to start breakfast. Would you like to help?"

Sara walked in with a simple, "Sure." Then she stopped turned around walked up to Grissom and threw her hands around his neck and laid her head against his chest, closed her eyes and sighed. This is what she wanted. Instinctively Grissom put his arms around her and kissed the top of her head. They stood like that for what seemed like hours for them. Then Sara made the first move.

She started placing little butterfly kisses on his neck. Grissom move his head back to allow her better access .She moved further up to suck in his earlobe and blow gently in his ear. He couldn't help but let out a deep moan. That just urged Sara on. She continued to kiss around his chin and up to his lips. She hesitated just allowing her lips to brush against his, and waited for him to make the next move. She didn't have to wait long as Grissom quickly kissed her back sucking on her lower lip ever so gently. He wanted nothing more than to taste her. His tongue drew across her lips and she opened her mouth and he never hesitated dipping his tongue into her mouth. They kissed passionately and gently. Neither were hurried as if this would the first and last time they kissed. They pulled apart and looked in each others eyes, and nothing but passion and lust was seen. Sara grabbed his hand and led him to his bedroom. Grissom didn't say a word and followed her. She closed to door and he sat down on the bed. Sara straddled him and they began to kiss again. Their hands were all over each other. She made quick work of his shirt and ran her hands up and down his smooth, muscular chest. She was about to take her top off when Grissom finally spoke up, and stopped her.

"Sara, once we take this step there's no going back."

"Good." was the only thing she replied as she reconnected their lips.

Grissom pushed his hands under her top and in one swift motion he pulled it over her head. He stopped and took in the sight before him.

"You came prepared." making the obvious connection that she wasn't wearing a bra.

"That's not all I forgot." Sara said with a crooked grin on her face.

Grissom raised an eyebrow and, stood up while still holding Sara in his strong arms. She instinctively wrapped her legs around him to hang on as he spun her around and set her on the bed. In no time he had her pants off and drank in the sight of her nakedness.

"God Sara you are so beautiful." he said as he leaned over her and started kissing her neck.

She just laid back and let him take control. He kissed his way down to her breast as he sucked in a nipple Sara let out a moan. Grissom moaned back and moved to tease and suck the other nipple. He then stood up and quickly removed his pants and boxers. While he was up Sara made her way up to the middle of the bed. He quickly followed and settled himself between her legs. Grissom just held steady and waited for her to urge him on. She kissed him and pulled on his shoulders encouraging him to enter her.

They looked into each others eyes as he slowly entered her slick folds. Sara closed her eyes and held her breath as Grissom filled her completely. He paused and waited for her to relax. Then they slowly began moving together. Grissom started slow while kissing and nibbling her neck, and Sara's hands were gripping his shoulders holding on for dear life as he slowly drove into her.

Sara continued to claw at his back and as she felt herself begin to go over the edge she howled out, "Oh Griss...please... deeper." And he responded as she wrapped her long legs around him as he began to move taking her hard and deep. He felt her walls begin to squeeze him and it was all he could do to hang on until she let go. She came hard screaming his name and that was all she wrote. With one last deep thrust he came filling her with his seed and he collapsed over her while still buried in her. She held him in place while they both regained normal breathing and Grissom placed little kisses on her neck.

He rolled onto his back and she snuggled up to his side and laid her head on his chest and whispered, "I love you." She let her body go to exhaustion and sleep. Right before she drifted off she heard him reply, "I love you too sweetheart. Always. Sweet dreams." He kissed the top of her head and drifted off to sleep.
