Chapter 3

In the month since they had met Gil and Sara had lunch several times together at POPS and even went out to dinner again a few times. Gil had mixed emotions when he seen her name on his class schedule for the class that started shortly.

The wedding was held at the chapel on campus. Along with Arleen's family, who came up from Florida, and Roger's brother, there was several friends in attendance. With all the people that was there all Gil could think of was Sara and how beautiful she was. After the ceremony there was a reception held in one of the conference rooms. Gil and Sara were sitting at one of the tables when the music started.

"Shall we?" he asked, standing and taking her hand.

Sara smiled and followed him to the dance floor. He loved the way she fit into his arms, the feel of her skin and the way she smelled.

"You look so beautiful," he told her.

Sara blushed, "You look rather handsome yourself."

When things wrapped up Gil offered to take Sara home, "You shouldn't walk home by yourself."

At her door Sara thanked him. Gil took her in his arms and kissed her.

"You want to come in for a nightcap?" she asked.

Gil nodded and followed her in. Sara poured two glasses of wine and they sat on the couch. Gil took a sip of his drink then let out a sigh.

"I'm afraid I have a problem," he said

"That would be?" she asked.

"You," Gil said.

"Me?" was her confused answer.

Gil smiled, "Yes, you. I could very easily fall for you."

Sara tenderly kissed him, "And that would be a problem why?"

Gil chuckled, "Where would you like me to start? The age difference. The fact that I teach one of the classes you will be attending. What people would say."

"The age thing only bothers you. I can transfer to Professor Keller's class and I don't give a flip what anyone say or think," Sara said.

But…..," he said.

"But nothing," Sara said, "Because you see, I have already fallen for you."

Gil smiled, "Then I don't see a problem."

"I do," she said.

"What?" he questioned, with a bit of confusion in his voice.

"What we'll have for breakfast," Sara said, standing and taking his hand.

Sara started toward her bedroom.

"We can't. I don't have…." Gil said.

Sara took his hand, "I have that covered, nothing to worry about."

They kisses as they slowly undressed each other. Gil eased her to the bed, his mouth covered Sara's mouth, then her cheeks, ears and neck. His fingers skimmed along the surface of her soft skin. He trailed along the outside length of her thigh and then made his way back up her body along the same route.

Sara had never experienced anything like this, his touch sent electric shock waves straight to her core. She felt as if she was floating and would explode at any minute.

When Gil entered her, her body shook. Sara lost all control of herself as the waves of pleasure pounded into her. She could feel his manhood as he gently moved inside her, it took only a few strokes to send her over the edge that she had been teetering on. He whispered her name as he released himself.

Gil gathered her in, and she nestled against his chest. He felt Sara relax and heard her deep, even breathing as she fell asleep minutes later. He kissed the top of her head and closed his eyes. It took only a few minutes to join her in the peaceful sleep that satisfied lovers share.

Chapter 4

SIX MONTHS LATER

Sara graduated and received her level 3 grade. Their relationship blossomed and soon they moved into a small apartment just off campus.

Gil and Sara had just returned from dinner, she knew something was wrong, he had been so far away all evening.

"Is everything alright?" she asked.

"Yes," he said, "Why would you think anything is wrong?"

"You've been a million miles away all night," she said, sitting next to him. "What's going on?"

There was something on his mind. He had received an offer form WLVU in Las Vegas, they wanted him to take over the Forensic Entomology Department.

Gil smiled, "I'm sorry. It's just that I heard from an old friend of mine and well, what he said has got me thinking."

"Tell me," she said.

Gil told her about the job offer, "It's a fantastic offer and something I have always wanted. I know that I teach but to be the head of the department….."

"Then take it," she told him.

"I can't ask you to give up your job," he said taking her hands in his, "It's so important to you."

Sara smiled, "Vegas has a crime lab, I'll just apply there."

"It may take a while for you to get it. What will you do in the mean time?" he asked.

Sara gently kissed him, "I'll just enjoy being Mrs. Gilbert Arthur Grissom."

Gil pulled her close to him, "Then you will?"

She just nodded. Three weeks ago he had asked her to be his wife, she told him she needed a little time.

"I'll call Marvin tomorrow," he said, "I'm going to tell him a need a month to wrap things up here."

Sara stood, "I think it's time for me to go bed, I have an early shift tomorrow."

"What some company?" he asked.

Sara smiled, "Of course. You know I sleep better wrapped in your arms."

After slipping into their sleeping cloths Gil wrapped his arms around her pulling her close to him.

"Night love," he said kissing her.

"Love you," she told him.

The next morning Gil called his friend in Vegas and got things started. Later that evening Sara got things started too. She filled out the papers online for a position in the Vegas Crime Lab.

One month later Dr. and Mrs. Gilbert Grissom moved into their new home. They were able to find a place out in the country with just enough land for her to plant a small vegetable garden and for him to do something else he always wanted to do, start a bee colony.

Six weeks after their move Sara received the call she had been waiting for. There was an opening in the Crime Lab, she was to report the next day.
