Nights Off
It wasn't that Greg Sanders or Riley Adams didn't enjoy their jobs as nightshift CSI's at the Las Vegas Crime Lab, because they did. It was a major part of their life. Without the job, Greg wouldn't have moved from California to be a lab technician and Riley wouldn't have come from St. Louis, so along with not meeting any of their close friends they have now, whom they consider family, they wouldn't have met each other.
But it was when they were told by Catherine that they didn't have to come into work, seeing as a couple of swing or day shift investigators had agreed to work their shift that Greg and Riley cherished. When they got days off of work, they rarely got off together. So when neither had to show up for work, it gave off fireworks inside of the two.
The fact that they were a couple was known at work, and the two had been trusted enough to keep work from play while on the clock seeing as the lab wanted to prevent another Sara and Gil fiasco. When they were at home alone, all of the work prohibitions were tossed out the window.
Greg could make love to Riley all day and all night without any interruptions if he could and he knew Riley would also have no objections. When Greg made love to her, it made her feel as if she were an acrobatic circus member. He would be moving in and out of her, urging her closer to climax. In Riley's mind, she would be walking the tightrope, knowing that when she fell, her orgasm would be waiting to take her willingly. When she would reach the climax, she'd fall and every time she would always end up in Greg's arms, who was promising to stay there with her in his arms until the end of time. She would gladly take up that offer, having not been in anyone's arms like his in a very long time.
When Greg made love the beautiful blonde underneath him, and sometimes atop of him, everything else would drift away. Before he had met Riley, his life was full of loss. He had lost one friend who had packed up and left Vegas, becoming a chain reaction and having Grissom leave for her after they had lost Warrick in the violent way they did. Greg still had nightmares about killing Demetrius James and about losing Warrick and his friends, but the fact that he knew he still had Riley, eased the pain just the bit he needed to keep going.
When Riley and Greg had work off together, it was more than sex. It was the fact that they had each other and there was no one to step in between them and pull them apart. They were each other's lifeline. One wouldn't be able to go on properly without the other one. Without Gregory Alexander Sanders, there was no Riley Grace Adams. Without Riley Grace Adams, there was no Gregory Alexander Sanders.
A/N: Well? I don't know how much I like that. :( The whole acrobat comparison is an inside discussion between me and a few friends. I know Alexander isn't his middle name, but I like the name. Well, you should review if you liked it and if you want some constructive criticism. Thanks :)
