"In our endeavors to recall to memory something long forgotten, we often find ourselves upon the very verge of remembrance, without being able, in the end, to remember."

From "Ligeia" by Edgar Allan Poe

Sitting in the corner of her couch, Calleigh turned the page of her book, reading the words that seemed to just flow off the page to her now. Since finding almost the same book that Christopher had, Calleigh had taken to reading it through out the day and night, it seemingly taking over her life. When she would fall asleep it would be while reading, only to awaken sometime later still holding the book. As she read, she could almost hear Christopher's voice as if he was reading the words to her in her mind.

Reaching down and scratching her bare leg, she shifted some, the nightshirt she'd been wearing since the night before riding up high on her thigh. The sound of the doorbell ringing caused her to look towards the door and then rang again. Marking her page, she got up, placing the book out of sight before going to answer.

Checking the peephole, Calleigh sighed heavily as she saw Horatio standing there. Throwing the locks, she pulled it opened and cocked a brow, "What do you want now?"

Hearing her sharp tone, Horatio held up the bag, and gave her a slight smile, "I had some time, I thought I'd bring lunch." He waited for her to answer and raised his brows expectantly, "Are you going to let me in?"

Glancing at the bag and then back to him, Calleigh sighed and stepped back, opening the door more, "Fine…but only because you'd probably perch on my porch if I don't." Once he'd entered, she closed the door and headed towards the hallway, "Be right back."

Horatio kept his eyes down and nodded, "I'm not going anywhere. I brought your favorite, you shouldn't let it get cold."

Not replying, Calleigh went to her room and got a pair of shorts from her dresser. Slipping them on, she then headed back out to find him already sitting down on the couch. Without a word, she went to the kitchen and got silverware and two bottles of water before going back. Placing one of each down onto the end table next to him, she then went to the recliner at the opposite end and took a seat.

"Calleigh, I thought we would eat together, aren't you hungry?" Trying to keep a positive outlook on her behavior, he smiled lightly, "It's your favorite."

"I can eat just fine from here," she stated as she looked at him. "Now, are you gonna give me my food or do I have to beg for it?"

"Sure," Horatio responded as he picked up her plate. Getting up he delivered it to her and bent, whispering lightly, "I had it specially made for you."

Taking it, she kept her eyes down until he moved from her. Uncovering the plate, she saw the offerings and picked up a small bite with her fork, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Settling back down, Horatio uncovered his own plate and began to eat, the silence hovering between them. For a long moment, no one said anything until Horatio cleared his throat lightly and turned to look to her, wiping his mouth, "So…um…what have you been up to Calleigh?"

Stopping her chewing, she looked up at him and then lowered her eyes back to her plate and swallowed, "Not a lot…just hanging around here mostly and going to therapy."

"Therapy? How's that going for you, are you making any progress?" Setting his plate aside, he focused fully on her, hoping that the window to communicate was open. He relaxed his head on his hand as he propped it up against the couch and smiled lightly, "You seem to be doing okay."

"I'm far from okay according to the doctor. I go see her again tomorrow." Taking another small bite, Calleigh chewed slowly as she continued to look at her food.

"Well, at least you're keeping up with it," Horatio said as he nodded. Crinkling his brow, he asked, "So…are you reading Poe still?"

Stopping again, Calleigh crinkled her brow before looking over at him, "Why does it matter?"

"I was just wondering, I didn't think you read Edgar Allan Poe. Are you interested in his works?" The reaction he got from his question perplexed him and he hoped that she would expound on it more.

Thinking quickly to try to cover herself, Calleigh shook her head, "No…just looking up something for my journal." Picking up another small bite, she glanced at him, "What, Horatio?"

"Calleigh, if there's something you want to talk about, you know you can talk to me. Is there something bothering you?" Horatio gazed at her wishing that she would talk to him, wanting to take her into his arms and never let her go. "Calleigh, talk to me."

"I'm fine, Horatio…really." Taking the bite of food, she then set her plate onto the table and reached for her water. Swallowing, she opened it and shrugged, "I'm just having trouble sleeping as usual."

Inching closer, his voice held a tone of concern as he reached for her, "Are you still having nightmares? Do you want to talk about it?"

"It's just the same one's over and over. That's why Doctor Macy has me writing in the journal…and I had to look up that quote, so she'd know what I was talking about."

"Maybe I can help…what was the quote?"

Remembering a little of what she read, Calleigh shrugged, "In our endeavors to recall to memory something long forgotten, we often find ourselves upon the very verge of remembrance, without being able, in the end, to remember."

Horatio watched her intently and then came closer, "Does this have anything to do with Larken? Didn't you say he read to you sometimes?"

Nodding some, Calleigh sighed, "I still have dreams…nightmares about him. That's why the doctor has me writing them down."

Chancing a look to her eyes, he then settled next to her, "Calleigh, it's going to be alright. We'll work through this."

Looking over at him, Calleigh took in a shaky breath and then looked down at her hands, "How can you be so sure, Horatio?"

Reaching out to her, he lifted her chin and smiled knowingly, "Because you are stronger than what you think, Calleigh. It's just going to take time and patience. You're going to make it through this."

Looking into his eyes, Calleigh could see the love and understanding that resided there. Swallowing, Calleigh whispered, "I don't feel so strong anymore. I feel like I'm out of control…and that scares me."

"You have an added advantage, Calleigh." Taking in her confused expression, he smiled more, "You have me. I'll look out for you and when you feel as if you're losing it, I'll be there to bring you back. I promise this, with all my heart, Calleigh. I can't live my life without you in it anymore."

"But you said we needed space…and with you working like you have been…"

"My priorities were screwed. I realize that I need you, Calleigh." Standing, he took her into his arms and held her close. "I'm sorry for what I've done, Calleigh. I've made a mistake."

Closing her eyes and wrapping her arms around him, Calleigh anchored herself to him, the warmth and strength he held making her feel safe once more. Slowly opening her eyes, Calleigh whispered, "I've missed you…"

The sound of her acceptance made his heart bloom and he smiled, "I've missed you, so much Calleigh." His arms tightened around her and he took in a deep breath and exhaled, turning to nuzzle her neck, "I love you, Calleigh."

"I love you…" she whispered back as she held onto him tighter. A single tear rolled down her cheek and Calleigh's hand moved up from his waist to the back of shoulders. Breathing in his scent, a faint smile appeared as she spoke softly, "How are we gonna do this, Horatio?"

"Very carefully," Horatio responded in a whisper. He pulled her away and wiped at her cheek, allowing his touch to linger. The moment was serene as he bent to kiss her, "It's going to take some interesting maneuvering, but I'll make it happen. I have to…"

Nodding slightly, Calleigh looked into his eyes, "I'm sorry for kicking you out last night."

Horatio shook his head lightly and smiled, "Sometimes, I need something to bring me off my high horse, and make me see what's right in front of me. You actually did me a great service, Calleigh." He bent to kiss her again and he closed his eyes, holding her tighter to him. She felt good in his arms, like she belonged there. Longing to keep her there, he was reticent to part from her but realized the need to breathe and slowly detached himself from her. Opening his eyes, he smiled, "I wonder if you'll allow me to stay tonight? I have to go back to work, but tonight…"

"Don't forget to bring a change of clothes with you for work tomorrow," she replied as she gazed into his eyes. Reaching up, her fingers touched his chin and she gave him a small smile, "Just call me before you leave and I'll have dinner waiting, okay?"

His smile widened and he chuckled as he pressed his body against hers, "I won't forget, although I'll be hard pressed to remember in my effort to get home to you quicker." Moving her hair out of her eyes, he nodded, "I'll remember."

Giving him another kiss, she then parted from him and raised a brow, "Anything special you want for dinner tonight?"

"Surprise me, Cal." The sound of the clock chiming caught his attention and he sighed ruefully, "I'm sorry, Cal, I have to go, but I'll be back after work." Caressing her face, he arched a brow, "This day is going to be so much harder."

"I know…but, if you want and get a few minutes, call me and we can talk," she said as she leaned her face into his touch.

"You'll be the first number I call," he whispered, unable to keep his eyes off of her. The more he stood in her presence, the more he wanted to stay, a small chuckle rising, "Maybe I can call in sick, lunch didn't agree with me."

Chuckling some, Calleigh sighed, "That would be a first…you calling in sick. They'd think the sky had fallen or something."

"People get sick after lunch all the time, it's a natural occurrence," Horatio responded smoothly. His fingers caressed her skin lightly and he sighed, knowing that ultimately, he was going to have to go. His hands dropped to her waist and he averted his eyes, shaking his head, "I gave it my best shot." Meeting her eyes, he grinned boyishly, "My efforts must mean something, don't they?"

"They do." Moving onto her tip toe, she gave him a kiss and smiled, "For your effort."

Looking down on her, he chuckled and his brows raised as he released her, "Worth the wait. I'll give you a call when I can, Cal." Taking her hand, he squeezed, "Walk me to the door?"

"Of course." Giving him another small smile, they began to walk towards the door and she looked up at him, seeing the smile on his face and the light back in his eyes. As they reached the door, she turned to him, "Be careful out there, okay?"

"I will, I promise." Cupping her face, he bent to kiss her gently speaking softly, "Lock the doors, beautiful."

"Always." Giving him a smile, she opened the door for him, "See you tonight."

Horatio walked through and then turned back to her, winking, "Tonight. Take care, Cal."

"You too, Handsome," she replied as she leaned on the door jam. Watching as he walked to the Hummer, Calleigh then called out to him, "Love you…"

"I love you," he returned as he reached the Hummer. Opening the door, he waved to her and slipped his sunglasses on his face. He truly didn't want to leave her, wanting to spend as much time with her as possible. Exhaling heavily, he took a seat and watched as she stood at the door, waiting for him to drive off. He now had the rest of the day to ponder how to make up for all he'd done.

Driving up to her home, Eric came to a stop and parked his car, momentarily perplexed that a departmental Hummer was in the drive. Shutting the engine down, he arched a brow as he got out, smoothing the silk shirt out and smiled, noticing that her own car wasn't there. Closing the door, he shook his head and started across the street, his heart beating in anticipation. He hadn't seen or spoken to Calleigh in months and realized that he had some explaining to do, but he already knew the route to take to avoid her fury.

Licking his lip's at the thought of their last night together, the passion that was boiling between the two of them unable to be contained. Clearing his throat, he saw a shadow through the window and grinned wickedly, wondering if she'd had dinner yet. If she hadn't he was going to offer to take her out to talk, and hopefully, they would be on better terms. He missed everything about her, her touch even more, and he couldn't wait to get reacquainted.

Forgoing the extra key that she'd hidden, he flipped the key on his ring and slipped it into the lock, opening the door easily. Entering into the house, he could hear the light sounds of music as the faint glow of candles emitted from the living room, inviting him in. He'd seen this scene several times before, was welcomed to it many nights while they were dating and the sight gave him hope that her anger would be short lived.

Above the light music, Horatio heard a noise and froze, staving Calleigh's questions before they left her lips. Rising up slightly, he released her from his embrace and eyed his piece that was sitting in the recliner away from them, his movements slow. Getting up from the couch, he kept his eyes forward as he went for his gun, "Be…very...quiet, Cal."

Watching him, Calleigh them looked towards in the direction of the front door, her brow crinkling. Leaning over to the end table, she pulled out the small drawer slowly and reached in. Pulling out one of her guns, she looked up to see Horatio's questioning look and shrugged slightly as she slipped the safety off.

With his hand on his gun finally, he took the defensive stance, extending his arm and cradling the butt of the gun in his palm, he rotated his head on his neck and inched forward slowly, glancing back to Calleigh, his voice eerily calm, "Stay, please, Calleigh."

Standing, she nodded and whispered, "I'll stay, but if I hear shot's…" Hearing movement, Calleigh raised her gun, aiming towards the door.

Looking around some and not hearing Calleigh, Eric smiled wondering exactly where she could be. Smiling some, the thought of her possibly in the bathroom bathing crossed his mind and he decided to try there first.

Coming to the doorway of the living room, Horatio saw the shadow pass, moving towards her bedroom and moved forward cautiously. He could hear that she wasn't following and was glad, if something was amiss, he didn't want her in the crossfire. Walking softly, he made his way through the darkened foyer, turning to go down the hall, centered on the soft sounds that were echoing off of the walls.

Entering into her bedroom, Horatio's eyes focused in the darkness and found the dark shadow. Clicking the hammer back, he spoke calmly and steadied the weapon in his hand, "Miami PD, turn around slowly and keep your hands up."

Crinkling his brow at the familiar voice, Eric held is hands out to the side and smirked. Turning around, he raised a brow, "Don't shoot me, H."

At the sound of his voice, Horatio lowered his gun and slipped the safety back on, arching his brow as he reached up to turn on the light, "Eric? What are you doing here?"

"I uh…I came to see, Calleigh. She'd given me her key. What are you doing here?" Eric asked as he lowered his hands back down. It'd been a long while since he'd seen his brother in law and Eric hadn't expected to see him tonight, especially not at Calleigh's. "Is she okay?"

Horatio's arm dropped to his side and he nodded, "She…she's fine. She's in the living room. We just had dinner." Swallowing his growing jealousy, he gestured towards the door, "I'm sure she'll be glad to see you."

Raising a brow, Eric shook his head with a slight smile, "I don't know, H…I haven't called in awhile. She'll probably be pissed more then anything." Heading to the door, Eric nodded to him, "Why are you here…I mean besides dinner?"

Not sure if he should reveal his true reason for being there, he shrugged his shoulders, "She's been having difficulties, I was just checking in on her. You really should catch up with her." Starting out of the room, his expression soured and he shook his head, "Come on, she's a bit startled by your appearance. You might want me to go first though, she's armed."

"Uh, yeah…I don't feel like getting shot again," Eric replied as he let Horatio take the lead.

Not hearing anything, Calleigh began to worry. Moving into a better position should she have to defend herself, she aimed her gun towards the entryway to the living room, waiting for either Horatio to return or whoever was unwelcomed in her house.

Emerging into the hall, his heart thumped in his chest at the potential outcome of this, knowing that she and Eric may need to talk. With his hands up, Horatio entered into the living room, looking to Calleigh, "It's alright, Cal, stand down. It's Eric."

Her brow crinkled as Eric moved from behind Horatio, showing himself to her. Lowering her gun and placing the safety back on, she shook her head, "Eric? What are you doing here? How did you get in?"

Taking in his surroundings, he narrowed his brow and gave a short laugh, "I just got in and thought to come and see you, see if you have had dinner." Holding his key ring up, he shook his head, "You forgot you gave this to me?"

At the tone of the back and forth between them, Horatio decided that he needed to make a move. Grabbing his coat, Horatio looked to Calleigh, "Um…Cal, if you want, I'll give you time with Eric."

"No, Horatio, stay please," Calleigh replied and then looked back at Eric. "I really wish you would have called first, Eric. Moving to Horatio's side, Calleigh looked up at him, and slipped her hand into his before looking back to Eric, "I'm seeing Horatio, Eric."

Watching as her hand took his, Eric's expression dropped and his eyes narrowed, "You're…seeing Horatio? You mean, you're screwing Horatio, right? That's what you mean, right Calleigh?" His anger took over and he refocused, going towards Horatio, "And you… it wasn't enough that you took my sister…You want my girlfriend too?" Moving quickly, he grabbed Horatio by the collar and shoved him against the wall, cringing, "You want everything you can't have, don't you, H?"

"ERIC!" Calleigh yelled out as she went to them and grabbed his arm, trying to pull him off of Horatio.

"BACK OFF, ERIC!" Horatio growled as his arm's came up, knocking Eric's off him. "This was all Calleigh's decision. If you wanted her so bad you wouldn't have left her behind like you did."

Standing back, he glared at Horatio, "So you take my absence to make a play for her?" Moving back in, he felt her hands come up to his chest, holding him back. Glaring at her, he then looked to Horatio, "Stand back, Cal."

"No, Eric…you. I love Horatio…I've always loved him," she replied firmly as she looked up at him. "You need to leave."

Breathing heavily, he pointed to Horatio, "This isn't over by a long shot." Stepping away from Calleigh, he glared down at her, "Can we talk for just a minute?"

Looking at Horatio, she handed him her gun, "Can you put this back for me while I walk him out, please."

Taking the gun in hand, he kept his eyes on the both of them and nodded, grabbing her hand, "I'll be right here if you need me, Cal."

Scowling, Eric laughed mirthlessly, "That's cute, I'm not going to do anything to her."

"Eric, chill out will ya?" Calleigh bit back as she glared at him. Looking back up at Horatio, she squeezed his hand, "I'll be right back."

Horatio nodded as he watched the two of them disappear down the hall, feeling the need to be there for her.

As they came to the door, Eric pointed back to the living room, his voice barely above a strained whisper, "Mind telling me what that is in there? Didn't we say we were going to keep things open? How long was it before he took over?"

"I did wait Eric…and I got tired of waiting. No calls, no letters, nothing from you! Not even to let me know you were okay. So if there is anyone to blame it's you, not Horatio!" she fumed as she glared at him.

"I know that I should've done better, but Calleigh…Horatio? He's my brother in law for cripes sake!" Running a hand through his hair, he glared at her, "If this was just a replacement, you can tell him it's over, I'm coming back to Miami for good."

Crossing her arms about her chest, she raised a brow at him, "Horatio is not a replacement…I love him, I have for a very long time. He's been there when I needed him…he saved my life, and I'll be damned if I'm going to let him go."

"Saved your life? Calleigh…what's happened to you?" He hadn't seen it, but now it was glaringly clear, the difference in her eyes. Gone was that immeasurable spark that he found alluring, replaced by hesitancy and uncertainly. Reaching for her, he asked, "What's been going on?"

"I was stalked, nearly killed and then abducted, Eric. Horatio and Tim came after me," she replied as she let her hair down and took a step back from him. Shaking her head, she shrugged, "Please, do not touch me."

Dropping his hand, he shook his head in disbelief, "Cal, what's happened to you, to us? I left to clear my head and I come back…I come back to see that I've been replaced?"

"And I also said not to make me wait long, Eric." Holding out her hand to him, she shifted her weight, "I think it's best if I get my key back now."

"Clearly," he answered back as he roughly took his keys in hand. Taking it off the ring, he handed it to her, "Don't let it cool too long before you give it to him." Pushing his way past her, he stormed to his car and got in quickly, pulling off without any further thought, his tires screeching on the pavement.

Going outside and retrieving the spare key that was hidden, Calleigh went back inside, locking the door behind her. Heading back to the living room, she found Horatio sitting on the couch and went over towards him. Placing the keys onto the end table, she then took a seat next to him, "You okay?"

Looking to her, he smiled lightly and nodded, "Yeah…I'll be fine. How about you? How are you doing?" He'd heard most of the conversation and it had taken him all of his being to remain sitting. Looking to the door, he arched a brow, "He's upset."

"It's his own fault though. He could have called or something…and he chose not too. So, I did what I needed to do for myself." Turning to the side and wrapping her arms around his neck and shoulders, she smiled, "I found the man that I really wanted to be with…the man I've loved for a long time."

"And this man loves you, so very much." Turning fully, Horatio nodded, "You're sure you're okay?"

Relaxing into his embrace, Calleigh nodded slightly, "Yeah, I'm fine. I got my key back from him…and I went ahead and grabbed the other one from outside. I'll rehide it tomorrow."

"That's…a good idea." Holding her he chuckled, the sound rumbling in his chest, "Well, that put a spin on our evening. What can we possibly do to top that?"

Looking into his eyes, Calleigh licked her lips and cocked a brow, "Well, we could always get to know each other again."

"I like this idea," he smiled as he reached to caress her face. Looking at her, he smiled, "I like this idea a lot." Letting his fingers drift to her neck, they tickled her collar bone and then danced lower, his brow arching, "I love this idea."

Letting her own hands move to his shirt, she whispered, "Then why don't we take this to the bedroom for the night?"

"Best idea yet." Taking her hands, he kissed them softly and smiled, standing. Gazing into her eyes, he pulled her close and then picked her up effortlessly, shifting the shirt slightly. The shift exposed her to him and he smirked as he began to walk, "I've definitely missed this."

"So did I," she replied softly as her arms draped around him. Leaning to him, she kissed the side of his neck and then nipped at his skin. Trailing her tongue up, she came to his ear and whispered, "I need you, Horatio."

At her whisper, he could feel his body responding, his pace quickening. The sudden feel of her tongue on his skin tore at his resolve and he entered into her room, releasing her from his arms. As soon as her feet hit the floor, Horatio took her shirt from the hem and pulled it up, exposing her beautiful form to him. Eyeing her hungrily, he could see the lust smoldering in her green eyes that sparkled like jewels, luring him with a promise of wicked pleasure.

Smiling, Calleigh moved forward, her hands going to the buttons on his shirt. Taking each one, she slipped it through until she reached his pants. Pulling the material from them, she finished off the last two and then ran her hand up his chest to his shoulders. Pushing the material off and down his arms, she smirked, "For every piece of clothing you take off me, I'm gonna take one off you."

His reply was to unbuckle her jeans and then leaned in to take her lips roughly. His hands remained busy as he unzipped them and forced them down, his fingers grazing the soft skin of her thighs. Allowing them to come back up, he parted with a smile, taking the sides of her thongs in between his fingers. "Nice addition."

"I was hoping you'd be able to see them soon, she replied as her own hands unbuckled his belt and then his pants. Taking the zipper down, she pushed them down and raised a brow as her hands went to his boxers, "One day when you're off you'll have to consider going commando for me."

"I'll consider it, if you'll do the same." Taking the sides of the red thong in between his fingers he inched them down, licking his lips decorously, "One day when I'm off, you'll have to consider not covering a thing."

"That I can arrange." Watching as he knelt down in front of her and brought her thong down, Calleigh stepped out of them and ran her fingers through his hair, "I love you, Horatio."

"I love you," he whispered as he ran his hands up her legs. The faint scent of jasmine hit him as he leaned closer, coming closer to her mound. Nuzzling her, he could hear her moan and feel her body relax. Parting her legs, he sought her clit and licked it slowly, almost losing control at the taste of her. Her fingers tightened in his hair and he flicked his tongue against her again, feeling her body shudder hard.

Lulling her head back and closing her eyes, Calleigh moaned as his tongue worked it's magic on her. Never had a man turned her one as much as he did. Pushing her hips forward slightly she lifted her head back and looked down at him through hooded eyes, moaning softy, "Yes, Horatio…yes…"

Her admonishments spurred him and he began to take her relentlessly, lifting a leg and placing it on his shoulder. With her exposed even more, Horatio traced his tongue from her pulsating clit to her entrance, thrusting his tongue deeply. His free hand parted her outer lips and thumbed the hardening nub, extracting all of her essence that had begun to flow. Drinking her in greedily, his other hand moved up to palm her rounded breast, running his fingers over a tightened nipple.

Calleigh began to pant as he worked her body expertly. Holding his head to her, her other hand moved to his, squeezing it around her breasts. Knowing she wouldn't last too long with his tongue working her, Calleigh moaned, "Horatio…need…more…"

The need was strong in her voice and he forced himself to leave her pulsating sex, looking up to see her lost to his touch. Even as his mouth left her, he slipped two digits into her awaiting folds and thrust, the responding moan sending his arousal into overdrive. Refocusing, he nuzzled her blond curls and then whispered, "Tell me what you want, Cal."

"You…I…I want…you…" she moaned as he pushed into her again. Moving her hips with his thrusts, she whispered, "I need…you in…me…"

Horatio stood slowly as he continued to thrust into her, releasing her breast to cup her face. Holding her steadily, he kissed her without measure, slipping his tongue into her willing mouth. He could tell that she was startled and took that chance to exploit it, dominating her.

Holding onto his shoulders for support, Calleigh moaned as she began to relax again, letting him have control. His tongue plundered her mouth, mapping it out. When he pushed his fingers up into her again and began to massage her spot, she jumped slightly as a serge of sexual pleasure ran through her body.

The reaction caused him to harden and the lust clawed at the surface. Slowing his thrust, he brought his fingers out and parted from her, bringing his fingers to his lips. Slipping them into his mouth, he licked them as he stared at her, the moment charged sexually. Picking her up, he took her to the bed and laid her down, coming above her and urging her legs to part with his knee. Shifting the knee up, he rubbed it on her sex, the exuberant amount moisture coating his knee. Whispering as he trailed her body, he whispered, "I've got…to have you…"

Closing her eyes, Calleigh bit her lip and then whispered, "I'm all yours…" Opening her eyes and looking up at him, she gave him a sensual smile and purred, "Get those boxers off and pleasure me, Horatio."

Without anything else said, Horatio slipped the boxers down to release his hardened member and groaned as it came in contact with her. The heat of her sex drew him and he held himself until he was lined perfectly with her, thrusting forward to fill her fully. Settling to allow her to get used to him, he then began to rock his hips forward, slipping in and out of her slowly.

Pushing her head back as he entered her, Calleigh gasped in pleasure, his cock filling her fully. Once her muscles relaxed around him and he began to move, she started pushing her hips up in time with him. Looking up into his eyes, her hands draped around the back of his neck and she whispered, "Claim me, Horatio…make me all yours tonight."

Her relinquishing of control set him into a frenzy and he began to thrust erratically at first inside of her, but then gaining focus, sinking himself deeper into her. Giving her long strokes, he looked into her eyes and then lifted her leg and placed it on his shoulder, driving into her. As he began to take her possessively, he felt his own control slipping and he began to pound into her, gritting his teeth at the sensation of her sex pulsating, gripping and then releasing his cock. He was lost for her, and as he delved further, he became addicted to the feel of her body as he mastered it.

Wrapping her other leg around his waist and opening herself more for him, Calleigh cried out with each thrust into her. Letting him go, her hands went to her breasts, kneading them before pushing them together, her fingers toying with her nipples. When her abdomen began to tighten and a tingling feeling ran through her, Calleigh panted, "Horatio…gonna…cum…"

He could feel her body shifting, her sex quivering as her release came to the surface. As she began to spasm around him, he felt his own release clawing for the surface, the friction of her muscles gripping him, driving him mindless with pleasure. As his seed began to spill into her womb, he pounded into her, grunting victoriously as her release joined in, the two of them coming together. As he began to wean, he slowed his powerful thrusts, bending to nuzzle and kiss her lazily about the neck as he whispered in her ear, "That was earth shattering…Here's to making up."

Wrapping her arms around him as he settled, Calleigh smiled faintly and whispered, "Make up sex is always wonderful."

"I agree whole heartedly." Hovering above her, he pulled away as he smiled, looking into her eyes, moving her now sweat laden hair from her face. "As much as I loved the sex, I don't want to ever be apart from you again." Slowly thrusting, he groaned as his lips found her neck once more, sucking lightly on her skin. "I love you, Calleigh."

"I love you, Horatio…" she whispered as she held him close. Enjoying being in his arms again, she whispered, "you're all I want in my life."

"Good, because I tend to get jealous about those type's of thing's." Laughing, he kissed her and then spoke softly, "There's no one else for me, Calleigh." Slowing his thrust even more, he kissed his way from her lips to her jawbone to her ear, whispering, "My life is nothing with out you in it, Cal."

"I'll always be here for you, Handsome…always." Running her fingers through his dampened hair, frowned as his cell phone began to ring, "No…"

Sighing heavily he began to peel himself away from her, the absence irritating him. Rising from the bed, he glanced back at her as he bent for his trousers, his heart thumping in his chest. The sight of her satiated and exposed had him getting hard again and he silently cursed the phone that was now in his hands, ringing incessantly. Arching a brow, he watched as her hand traveled over her body, her fingers teasing over her nipples. "Whoever this is better have a good reason for calling."

Hearing the voice on the other end, a smile formed, happy that they'd gotten the right number. Staying silent, his voice grew irritated as he said hello again. Pressing a number on the keypad, they then slipped it to end, hitting it and ending the call.

Eying the phone, he then shook his head and tossed the phone on top of his trousers, getting back onto the bed. As he crawled to her, he sighed and watched as her fingers played over her own skin, "It was no one. Just enough to make me upset." Taking her hand into his, he moved it over her breast and covered it, kneading it. Watching her hand in his as she touched herself, he smirked, "I switched it on to vibrate."

"Good…cause you're turning me on," she replied seductively as she looked up at him and smirked. "What do you plan on doing about that?"

"I plan on exploiting that as much as possible." Leaning in to kiss her, he squeezed the hand that was over her breast and then left it to trail downward. Parting from her briefly, he smirked, "Keep that hand busy for me, sweetheart."

Nodding slightly, Calleigh gazed into his eyes, "Umm, what are you going to do now, Handsome?"

"Take advantage of you as much as possible," he responded breathlessly as his fingers trailed to the warmth of her sex. His grin was mischievous, yet held clear intent as he skimmed through the golden patch of damp hair, covering it fully. Applying pressure, he watched her expression turn and snickered, "There are certain sounds I want to hear from you, starting with your scream."

Pushing her hips up and into his hand more, Calleigh breathed out, "I…I think…that'll be happening…soon…" Closing her eyes, she moaned and licked her lips, her own hand still kneading her breast.

Dipping his fingers in between her folds, he circled her sensitive clit lightly, knowing that from earlier, it wouldn't take long to send her off. He took his time with her sex, marveling at how wet she still was, hungry to taste of her again. Inching his way down her taut stomach, his lips lingered on her skin, kissing her lightly and laughed lightly at the way her muscles jumped under his touch. His own arousal was coming back fully and as he kissed his way back up to her, he took the flesh of her neck and clamped down just as he pressed and circled her clit, feeling her body writhed under him.

Arching up the best she could with him over her, Calleigh cried out in pleasure and her free hand clawed at his shoulder. Rolling her hips up and down under his touch, she opened her legs wide for him, causing the pressure on her clit to increase. Feeling the tight suction on her neck and then his fingers rolling her stiff clit around more, Calleigh cried out again as a shiver ran down her spine, causing her body to tremble slightly.

Thrusting into her quivering mound, Horatio found her spot and assaulted it, grinning wickedly at the sounds of pleasure that had found their way to his ear. He suckled her skin rougher and could practically feel her jumping pulse as her body arched, the heated skin meeting his. The groan that escaped his lips was small, but telling of what he wanted. He rocked his body against her, the stiff peaks of her beautifully rounded breast scraping against him. It was then that his cool began to slip and he needed more.

Slowing his suckles, he lifted from her and slipped his hand from her warmth and heard her cry softly at the absence, watching as her eyes opened and filled with confusion. Taking her hands, he pulled her up and brought her body flush with his, his lips roving over her skin again, "I want to bend you over everything I can possibly find, beautiful." Her fingers grasping at his strands empowered him and he grinned as he nipped at her collar bone, drifting down to her luscious globes. Teasing the pebbled peak, he danced around the sensitive area seductively, sure that her body was now entirely his.

"I'm ready for your scream," he whispered before taking the nipple into his mouth.

Breathing heavily, Calleigh's head lulled back as she pushed her chest out to him more. Her fingers ran through his copper strands, holding him to her breasts. A small cry left her lips as Horatio bit down gently and then flicked at her hardened nipple with his tongue.

"Not enough," he responded in a demanding tone. Biting again, he pulled at the nipple with his teeth and then released it with a pop. His member was stiff once more and as he cupped and played with her breast, he smirked, "Tell me…what will make you scream, Cal?"

"You…" she breathed heavily as her eyes opened as she gazed into his, "You…inside me…"

Wanting to give her the pleasure and the control, he laid on his back and brought her with him, arching his brow at her now surprised expression. Nodding, he reached up and ran his palm through the valley of her breasts, reaching for her lips. Circling his finger around them, he whispered, "Take control, Calleigh. It's yours to have."

Moving over him and straddling his waist, Calleigh leaned down, kissing him softly. Lowering her hips down, she began to rub her sex over his hardened member, his cock sliding through her folds. Hearing his groan, she smirked and looked into his eyes, "Problem, Handsome?"

"N-no," he managed out as she moved above him. The seductive smile and the feel of her body's essence slipping around him caused his heart to triple in speed and he shuddered, "No…nothing… Give…it…to me."

Rotating her hips some, she felt as the head of his cock moved to her wet entrance and looked into his eyes. Planting her hands on either side of his head, she leaned down, kissing him and then sucking on his bottom lip as she pushed back, impaling herself onto his hardened member. Releasing him, her head went back and she gasped in pleasure as he filled her completely.

At being thrust inside of her so forcibly, he saw stars, the feeling of being cocooned within her heated wetness. Planting his hands on her hips he caressed them slowly as she began to move, his eyes flirting between slowly sliding shut and remaining open. Her slow pace was mind bending and he found himself unable to hold himself, a groan coming from deep within. She held the control completely, and he was powerless to stop her.

Rotating her hips, Calleigh then dipped them, pulling a groan from him. Sitting up fully, her hands went to her breasts, kneading them as she looked down at him and purred, "Now tell me what you want, Handsome."

"You," he breathed out. Biting his lip to stave another groan as she worked her hips and flexed her muscled walls as a show of power, he smiled, "Don't….hold…back." Lifting his own hips, he smirked, "You …drive me…wild."

Leaning down again, she kissed him and whispered against his lips, "Give it to me hard, Handsome."

Nodding, Horatio smirked devilishly and thrust his hips up hard, the smile growing as she called out his name. Raising his brows he held on to her as he repeated the move, arching his brow deceptively. "Now…your turn."

Breathing hard, Calleigh pushed back onto him as he thrusted up into her. Crying out loudly, she began to meet his thrusts, her body alive with sexual energy. Moving her knees some, she got into a better position and sat up, her wet sex sliding up and down his cock and then rotating and dipping her hips.

Closing his eyes against the sensations that were flooding him, he groaned deeply and cringed, their rhythm addictive. He focused on how she moved on top of him, her ability to control every move in the way he knew she would. Finally able to open his eyes, he gazed at her glorious form, her breasts quivering enticingly. Reaching up, he caressed her skin lovingly, filling his hands with both globes, squeezing. Her responding moan shot a flood of arousal and he bucked into her thrust, catching her off guard.

Crying out loudly as her head lulled back, Calleigh felt her body nearing the edge. Breathing heavily as they moved as one, Calleigh gasped out, "Cum…with me…"

Slipping his hand in between them, he found her hardened clit and circled it wildly, his gaze locked onto hers. Her body registered the new sensation and her muscles clamped down on him, providing him with a delicious friction. Unable to hold on, he growled, "I'm cumming, Cal."

Feeling his cock harden more and then begin to twitch triggered her own orgasm. Crying out his name, her body continued to thrust down on him, pumping him with her inner muscles. With her eyes closed tight, Calleigh's body tingled and shook, her orgasm tearing through her and sending her to a higher level of bliss. Feeling his hands on her and her body against his, everything then went dark as her body gave into the intense orgasm.

Horatio laid there in a daze as her body went limp against his and took in deep breaths. Never had he experienced anything such as this, his body was now alive more than ever with electricity, his nerves sensitive to even touch. Gasping, he ran a hand over the mess of her hair and found her eyes closed and her body at rest. A wide smile came to him as he shook her minutely, her soft hands clutching to him possessively.

"Calleigh," he spoke softly, "Calleigh, sweetheart…"

"Mmm…" she moaned, not wanting to move. Her body trembled under his touch, still sensitive from her orgasm. Slowly opening her eyes, she saw his and blinked slowly, "Hey…"

"Hi," he answered back with a warm smile. Running his hand over her skin, he chuckled lowly, "Are you okay?"

Nodding slightly, she shivered some, "Yeah…just…sensitive right now. That was amazing."

"I …I agree," he answered wrapping his arms around her. Keeping her close he looked up at the ceiling and sighed, "I definitely like the perks of making up."

"So do I," Calleigh said softly as she closed her eyes back again. Taking in a deep breath, she released it slowly, "I love being in your arms…I feel so safe."

"I love having you in my arms," Horatio answered as he smiled. Tilting his head down, he nuzzled her hair, the scent of her shampoo tantalizing his senses. He let out a long sigh, continuing to lightly skim her skin. The serenity that he felt infused him with warmth and he couldn't help but chuckle, "This is how I would like to spend every evening with you, sans the interruptions."

Nuzzling his neck, she smiled, "I'd love that too…maybe I could come stay with you at the hotel some."

"I would like that. We could abuse the room service and get into all sorts of trouble." Laughing, Horatio pulled her up gently and gazed at her, "I love you, Calleigh."

"And I love you," she replied as she leaned down and kissed him softly. Giving him a smile, she raised her brow, "Now…you have to be up early and it's getting late. We need to get some sleep."

Horatio nodded and smiled, "You know, I could call in. I'd much rather wake you up my way." Feeling her nudge his ribs, he smiled, "I take it you don't like my idea."

"I like your idea, but, I also know that won't be happening," Calleigh smiled. "But, on your next day off, I plan on tying you to the bed for the entire night and that day…and give you so much pleasure you won't be able to walk for a few days."

At her promise, Horatio felt a flush of arousal and smirked, "I look forward to that." He moved her hair out of her eyes and nodded, "You're right though, I need to get some sleep."

Giving him another kiss, Calleigh then sat up some and moved off of him. Hearing his moan, she chuckled, "Now, now…" Lying back down next to him, she cuddled back up against him, "I'm not leaving this bed until you do."

"Even then," he said as he pulled her closer, "I don't want you to leave. I want to wake up next to you." Looking to her, he smiled, "I want to wake up next to an angel."

Giving him a soft smile, Calleigh reached up tracing a finger along his jaw to his chin, "I'll be right here when you wake up handsome, I promise."

Satisfied that she would be there, he yawned and nodded, "Good, because there's no telling what kind of morning I'll wake up to." Tracing a faint line over her shoulder, he yawned again, "I love you."

"I love you too, Handsome. Get some sleep now," she whispered as she laid her head onto his shoulder and her hand over his heart. Laying their with him, she felt as he drifted off, his body relaxing and his breathing evening out. Closing her eyes, she smiled to herself, happy that she was back in his arms.
