Catherine and Nick walked out the Nick's car. She looked at him and said quietly, "I'm not ready for this night to end Nicky."

Nick smiled at her and leaned forward and kissed her sweetly. She sighed softly and pulled him ever closer. Finally she whispered, "Let's get out of here."

Nicky opened her door and she got inside. Nick ran to his side of the car and hopped in. He drove faster than he should have, but was soon at his townhouse. He opened her door and she smiled at him sweetly. She wasn't used to being treated like a special person. She love it and hoped that this was real and not some cruel dream.

He asked her, "Care for a drink?"

She shook her head. She wanted him and she wanted him now. She walked over to him and started unbuttoning his shirt. She heard his sharp intake of breath and smiled softly. Finally the shirt was unbuttoned and she let her fingers graze his chest. She heard him gasp. She looked at him and whispered, "I can't wait any longer Nicky."

Nick nodded his head and led her to his bedroom. She smiled as she saw his bed. She pushed him into it and stood before him. She turned on the radio and the "Into the night" by Santana is playing in the background.

Like a gift from the heavens(Nick watches Catherine and swears he sees a light above her)
It was easy to tell
It was love from above (Nick smiles as he watches her and falls in love with her all over again.)
That could save me from hell
She had fire in her soul
It was easy to see
How the devil himself could be pulled out of me
There were drums in the air
As she started to dance (She walks to the front of the bed and keeps time with the music as she remover her clothes)
Every soul in the room keeping time with their hands

And we sang a, away, away, away
And the voices rang like the angels sing
And singing a, away, away, away
And we danced on into the night
And we danced on into the night

Like a piece to the puzzle that falls into place
You could tell how we felt from the look on our faces
We were spinning in circles with the moon in our eyes
No room left to move inbetween you and I
And we forgot where we were
And we lost track of time
And we sang to the wind as we danced through the night

And we sang a, away, away, away
And the voices rang like the angels sing
And singing a, away, away, away
And we danced on into the night
And we danced on into the night
And we danced on into the night

Like a gift from the heavens
It was easy to tell
It was love from above
That could save me from hell
She had fire in her soul
It was easy to see
How the devil himself could be pulled out of me
There were drums in the air as she started to dance
Every soul in the room keeping time with their hands

And we sang a, away, away, away
And the voices rang like the angels sing
And singing a, away, away, away
And we danced on into the night
A, away, away, away
And the voices rang like the angels sing
And singing a, away, away, away
And we danced on into the night
A, away, away, away
A, away, away, away
Singing a, away, away, away
And we danced on into the night

By the end of the song Catherine was completely naked. She smiled as she saw the look on Nicky's face. He wanted her and she wanted him just as badly. He pulled her onto him and kissed her deeply. He let his hands roam over her body and finally she rolled off of him and laid beside him. She smiled and him and said, "This is going to change everything."

Nick nodded and said, "I'm ready for the change."

He smiled at her as he lowered his mouth onto her left nipple. She let out a loud moan and she felt her bottom lift off of the bed. She had imagined this a thousand times, but never had she imagined it feeling as good as it did. Finally just when she thought she couldn't take it anymore, she felt him stop. He looked into her eyes and she smiled as his hands traveled lower and touched her lips. She spread her legs open and nodded as his fingers went to work. She came quickly and it made him smile. She whispered softly, "Damn you Nicky!"

Nicky chuckled and smiled as he lifted himself on top of her. He entered her quickly and soon they we both moaning as they came together. Their bodies fit together perfectly. It was like they were meant to be. Nick smiled and fell on top of her and whispered, "I love you Cath…"

She smiled and kissed him and sweetly. They fell asleep holding each other tightly…

Catherine walked into headquarters the next day with a smile on her face. She actually whistled as she walked the halls. She got several looks from people that were wondering what she was so happy about. Catherine smiled to herself and thought, " Let them wonder ." Even seeing Ecklie in the halls didn't upset her like it usually did.

Walking into her office she was surprised to see a single, perfect red rose in a crystal vase sitting on her desk. She smiled to herself. She knew that only one person could have put the flower on her desk. She picked up the flower and inhaled the fragrant scent of the bud.

She heard a soft knock on the door and smiled briefly as she paused briefly to put the flower back where it was. She turned and saw Nick and Warrick standing in the doorway. She smiled and asked, "What's up?"

Nick gave her a secret smile that to anyone else could have meant any number of things. None of which would be anything remotely resembling the truth. They shared a secret that was more precious than anything Nick had ever thought he would ever possibly be able to share with anyone.

Warrick tells Catherine, "We have a 419 at the Monaco."

Catherine looked at the pile of memos on her desk. Nick noticed the look and told her, "We can go on over and you can meet us there."

Catherine shot him a grateful look. "I'll be there as soon as I get this cleared off my desk."

The guys turn and leave. Catherine walks around to her chair and sits in it. She has her head down so she doesn 't see Nick walk back in and close the door. He smiles and walks over to her desk and leans down and kisses her deeply on the mouth. It's a brief kiss, but full of emotion and love. Soon she is returning his kiss and he breaks it off and leaves the room just as quickly as he entered it. Catherine watches him leave and touches her lips with her fingers. She smiles as she watches him leave and disappear down the hall.

Nick catches up with Warrick and they head to the crime scene. Warrick notices that his friend is strangely silent. He says nothing, but smiles to himself. He knows that look. Nick has the look of someone that has it bad.

Finally he asks, "Okay, who is it?"

Nick gives him a sideways look and finally murmurs, "Who is what?"

"The woman that put that look in you eyes and the smile on your face. You haven't stopped smiling since we left the station."

Nick merely tells him, "She's someone very special Warrick. S omeone very special."

With that they arrive at the crime scene and Warrick is left even more confused than when before he asked the question.
