A/N: So I pulled off a new chapter… I didn't get any feedback on the last one so I hope to get some on this one… I think the last one was one of those times where my mind got a little too carried away…. Okay… well… Bon Apetit for this one…. R&R!!
-------------------------------------------------
As the Denali pulled out onto the highway Sara's song was still playing.
Oh, help me but don't tell me to deny it
I've got to cleanse myself of all these thoughts,
'Til I'm good enough for him
I've got a lot to lose and I'm getting hot, so I'm begging you
Before it ends just tell me where to begin
What I need is a good defense, 'cause I'm feeling like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed to the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I had and knew of love….
"That was perhaps the most erotic moment of my life." Sara said as she smiled and slightly glanced over at Grissom.
"I can say the same and add in the completion of a fantasy and the most excitement I've had in years." He blushed slightly and then laughed lightly.
Sara's eyebrows arched up and she blinked quickly a few times.
"Fantasy… Oh, really? Have any more you'd like to share?" she chided with curiosity
"Not at the moment, but I do have some; and plenty more things to share of other natures." Grissom winked, sighed, and settled into his seat for the remainder of the ride home.
The couple sat in silence for the rest of the ride to Sara's condo. It was silence, but not the kind that you just can't stand. They were just letting themselves think.
As Sara pulled the truck up into her driveway and turned the engine off she looked at Grissom. Grissom looked back into her eyes. They just smiled and got out of the car/ Passing over the brick walkway and into the condo was when the silence ended.
"There's nothing more I want to do then walk through this door and spend forever with in it." Gil said.
"I know, me too. But we can't spend forever in here though. We would have to leave eventually."
They both laughed as they put their things down. Grissom wrapped his arms around her from behind and lightly kissed her neck as they stared out the glass doors that lead to her back yard. Grissom slid off and around Sara, opened the door, took her hand, and lead her out onto the porch.
"There's so much I was to tell you, but I don't know how, and I admit it." He sighed.
"I know." Sara replied and turned to look at him.
"I love you Sara, with all of my heart and soul. And I'm so sorry that I avoided that for so long and never told you." Grissom took a deep breath and sighed. Sara just looked at him, a tear forming in her eye.
"I know we can't spend forever here like I said, but I know one other thing… I want to spend forever… with you…" Gil said and looked at their hands, Sara's tears still forming in her eyes.
They held hands as they walked down the path behind her house. He loved going for walks, and he loved it even more to be going on one with her. As they kept walking the sweet smell of the pine and trees flooded into their senses. Silence sat there for a few moments as the trees passes by. When a small stream appeared they stopped; Grissom first, then Sara. Griss pulled Sara to him and breathed in her scent; 'she smells like peaches' he thought to himself. Nothing compared to this, not even the crime scene from an entomologist's best dream; and Grissom had had a lot of dreams and seen a lot of things to dream about. But absolutely nothing compared to Sara, nothing. She was his best dream, and he was still mentally hitting himself for almost letting her get away due to his own stupidity and stubbornness. Sara stood there staring at her feet through Gil's embrace. She was thinking about what might happen next. She wanted everything, but she was scared to have it. Her life had been to hell and back a thousand times over and she truthfully didn't know if she could handle having what she wanted and being happy with it.
"What now?" she said
"I don't know. I truly don't." he sighed and put his hand lightly under her chin to pull her head up so she was looking at him.
"Me neither. I'm just living in the moment. This feels so good, so right. I just try and forget the fact that I have had to wait so long just to fin an ounce of happiness. I came to Vegas for you Gil, not just a new place, you. I fell for you the day I met you at that seminar and I have been fallen for you every since, not matter what you did to brush me off I just couldn't seem to let it or you go. I'm still working on figuring that part out." Sara said.
"Don't worry about figuring out the past dear. Don't even worry. Just spend your time bathing in the present and looking at the future." He said with a smile.
"Does the future have you in my life?" she asked.
"I'm not a psychic but, in my opinion and by my desire, it does." He smiled at her again and pulled her head to his for a sweet kiss that they both wish could last a lifetime.
Sara peck-kissed him and then pulled away slightly. The water of the stream was still trickling away beneath the bridge and the sun was slowly saying goodnight as it crept lower and lower behind the trees.
"I love you." They whispered to each other.
They kissed; one of those kisses where all time is lost and nothing else matters. The couple lost track of how long they stood there embraced and kissing as the world spun, but it didn't matter. The couple finally parted a while later and hand in hand walked a little further up the trail, they Grissom took Sara's hand with a small bit of force and started to lead her home, and not further up the trail like she wanted.
"What are you doing? Let's at least walk for a little more. I'm really enjoying this." She pouted.
"I know dear, but I have something on my mind that I need to do, and you are a big part of that." He hid his mischievous idea in his head and just smiled instead.
"But… Oh you really throw me for a loop sometimes, you know that? You wanted to take a walk in the first place." She whined.
"Stop whining and just follow me. Trust me, you'll enjoy it, and yes I know I did, but other ideas just came to mind. Patience my dear, patience."
He brushed his thumb over her hand that was laced in his and kept walking on back to the condo. Sara sighed and allowed him to lead her to his plans, she trusted him, but was just slightly worried about his intents. They made it back to the condo safely without ado and Grissom lead her into the house. She looked at him and he looked at her, gazing. His eyes showed nothing but love and desire, hers matched it equally. She took his hand and began to walk towards her bedroom, stopping when she felt her arm tug. Her thoughts raced into all the wrong places screaming to her that maybe he didn't want her like this.
"I want you. I'm sure about this. Are you?" He looked at her with love put into a question sort of look.
"Would I be leading you to my bedroom if I wasn't?" She smirked and continued walking.
"Come to think of it, no you wouldn't." He shook his head and laughed, following her as if he were Sara Sidle's new puppy into her bedroom.
