"We'll be here." Warrick said and meant it. Shift was over now and they wanted to know what her punishment was.

"Close the door and have a seat." Just then his phone rang.

"Grissom….hi….no, I'm not at the moment. … yes, I can do that. …. I know what you are referring to. ….okay, I will see you later. …. You're welcome, bye." He hung up the phone.

"Sorry about that. Now, we both know why you're here; what do you think is fair for lying, avoidance, and not following protocol?"

"A few unpaid days off." She answered quietly.

"I was thinking of maybe you donate half of your next paycheck to the lab for new equipment. It equates to having a few unpaid days doesn't it?" Catherine nodded.

"Ok, I will expect a check in my hands the day after we get paid next. Go home and be with Lindsey."

"I will. How is Sara?"

"I think you already know how she is. I saw you talking with the boys."

"Please tell her I'm sorry and I will see her in a few days. If she needs me then I will be available." Grissom nodded and turned to the paperwork on his desk. Now that he had delivered punishment, all he had to do was write it down and then he could leave. Catherine headed right for the break room to tell the boys what happened. Minutes later, Grissom packed up an envelope to drop on Ecklie's desk and locked up his office.

The boys were in the break room waiting for Catherine to return.

"So, how bad?" Greg asked.

"I have to donate half of my next paycheck to the lab." Catherine slumped in a chair and the boys flinched.

"Did you learn your lesson?" Nick asked, having already learned not to be deceitful because Grissom would find out one way or another.

"Yes. I did. It just sucks though." She told the table. Greg nodded in confirmation that he too learned a lesson.

"What would you have done if you were the boss and one of us got hurt and nobody told you?" Warrick asked, remembering when she was his boss.

"I would be madder than hell, but this is different. We're not talking about just anybody, we're talking about Sara. Someone he cares deeply for and possibly loves."

"Ok, what if it was Lindsey. What if she got hurt at school and someone took her to the emergency room, but at the same time was making every effort that you didn't find out?" Nick countered.

"I would probably have had the same reaction, except I would have been yelling and screaming instead of keeping calm like he does." Catherine sighed in defeat.

"Catherine, I would have been disappointed if this happened with ANY of you, not just Sara." Grissom poked his head in and the four occupants of the room visibly jumped.

"Man, you've got to quit sneaking up on people like that. Wear a bell or something." Nick said while trying to calm his heartbeat.

"I didn't sneak up on anyone. You all know what happened here and you all know how each of you was disciplined. Go home." He turned to leave and Nick stopped him.

"Hey Griss, tell Sara I hope she feels better and I am sorry she got hurt." Grissom nodded and continued on his path.

Grissom finally made it outside and was ready to go home when he remembered the errand he needed to run for Sara. He drove to the store and called her on the way.

"Hi honey, I'm headed to the store. Is there anything else we need while I am there? … Alright I will see you soon. Love you too, Bye." He headed to the store to get the personal items she requested and then picked up some food for the both of them. He walked in his door and did a visual scan to see if she had been in the main rooms at all. He found her in the bathroom.

"Oh good you're here. Give me that box." She told him and he obliged and turned his back.

"How is your foot feeling?"

"There is a dull throb, but nothing serious. Since you are here I could use a lift back to bed. I'm finished now." He heard her flush the toilet and he turned to face her again. Once her panties were readjusted, he easily lifted her in his arms and took her to where he liked her best.

"I don't understand why you turn your back. It's not anything you haven't seen before or know nothing about." She asked when her head was hitting the pillow. He began to strip to his boxers and join her.

"Because the only thing I like to see going into that part of your body is me. Oh, I brought food too. I will be right back." Sara flushed with arousal then cursed Mother Nature for being so inconvenient.

He came back in with a bag of waffles.

"I don't want food now. I want you to kiss me." He set the bag down and did as she asked. They both moaned when their lips touched and she could feel his excitement growing on her thigh. Her hands moved down toward that area to begin relieving the pressure. He groaned into her mouth. She gently pushed him on his back.

"So, what kind of fun did you have at the lab without me?"

"You want to talk about work now?" He asked as he watched her kiss her way down his chest and stomach.

"I just like to hear your voice. Talk to me."

"What you're doing feels very good."

"You always say that."

"It's always true." She momentarily paused her actions to look in the bag he brought in with him.

"I was wondering if you would go get the whip cream. I want to try something new." She whispered in his ear and licked the shell for emphasis. He nodded and practically ran to the kitchen to get what she wanted.

By the time he returned she had most of the food spread out on the bed.

"Come here." He leaned down to kiss her and her hands flew directly to the waist band of his blue boxers. She lowered them during her tongue duel with him.

"Lay down on the bed, please." Eager to see what she was going to do, he complied with her request. He knew he would do anything for her if she just asked, but she hardly ever asked. Right now, if all she wants to do is play with his body, then so be it.

"I love your body." She told him and shook the can in her hands.

"I love yours too. Will I get to play today too?" He asked and stroked her hair at the same time.

"We'll see. You might be too tired by the time I'm done." She told him huskily and he groaned. She sealed her lips over his and guided his head back onto the pillow with her mouth.

"Do you want to watch or not?"

"I think I will watch this time. I want to know what you are doing to me and how you make me feel so good." She nodded and together they slightly propped him up on some pillows. Sara started on his chest. She drew a whip cream heart in the center.

"Interesting. I don't think I have ever used food in this context before."

"Quiet. You don't even know what I am going to do with it yet." She reached behind her for a piece of fruit then dipped it in the whipped cream. She popped it in her mouth and leaned forward to dip again and offer the other half to her husband. He greedily took it and tried to get her half as well. She smiled against his lips. She did this three more times until the cream was mostly gone. She then used her fruit flavored tongue to clean off the rest of the cream and he moaned at the same time she did.

Sara had spent the next half of an hour repeating this process all over his body and finally was heading to the area he wanted her the most. The whipped cream was cold against his arousal, but her mouth more than made up for it. She knew his body well and used it to her advantage. Every time he would get close to completion, she moved to his hips or down to his testicles.

"No more. Please." Grissom was begging and Sara knew her playtime was over.

"Please what?" She asked even thought she already knew what he wanted. She secretly loved it when he turned to putty in her hands.

"Please just finish me off. I can't take it anymore. Please." He was panting and she leaned over to grant his request. Moments later, he exploded and she swallowed everything he had to give.

"Thank you. That was fun." Sara said and rested her head on his shoulder while he brought his breathing back to normal.

"Thank YOU! That was definitely a first and something I hope we can do again in the future." He said and she laughed.

"Are you tired?"

"Yes. You have quite a talent Mrs. Grissom."

"I like hearing that."

"I like saying it." He told her and was closing his eyes.

"Hold on lover boy. I am bedridden for one more day. You need to clean up before you can go to sleep."

"Slave driver." He teased and got up to put his boxers back on the return the food items where they needed to be.

"You loved every minute of it and we both know it." He smiled then crawled back in bed with her. She set the alarm for him and curled up into his side and they fell asleep.
