III

Horatio contemplated as he sat on the couch, what the next few weeks would be like. He was at home, back with Calleigh, which was a good thing. A very good thing. He learned quickly, not to take it for granted, especially after spending so much time in the damn hospital, sleeping alone.

A soft breath left his lips as he considered his situation.

He was under house arrest. His blonde southern belle made it crystal clear, no exceptions, as per Dr. Joe Gannon's orders. No exertion, nothing strenuous and absolutely no work.

He sighed, bothered. 'What else was there to do?' He wondered letting his head wearily drop back against the couch. He slowly closed his eyes in thought when a small smile curved his lips and a low hum vibrated in his throat.

He saw her in his mind's eye and softly whispered her name, "Calleigh."

That brilliant, breathtaking smile, surrounded by long beautiful blonde hair, cascaded down around her shoulders and back. Sparkling emerald eyes that shone brighter than the stars when she was happy and aroused. And her lips…

"Mmmm." Horatio moaned low in thought.

Rosy and full. Giving and soft… so sensual. She had the body of an athlete; lean yet curvy, with a creamy complexion and her breasts… Perfectly rounded, full, pliant, yet so supple.

The redhead licked his lips and groaned, visualizing her lying back on their bed completely naked.

His blonde bombshell. The woman of his dreams. His one true light in all the darkness… and she was his. She loved him.

He exhaled a soft breath trying to calm his full throbbing erection. They had been so inseparable lately. She nursed him back to health, gave him so much love and showed insurmountable affection and, she had the patience of a saint.

Horatio smiled knowing he wasn't the easiest of patients to deal with. In fact, he could be a real pain in the ass. He wouldn't take his medicine or rest, or eat like he was supposed to… yet Calleigh, never once gave up on him. She came back each time with a smile and a comforting tone letting him know that she understood.

A soft breath left his nose and he heaved a sigh. All the redhead wanted to do was love her back. He wanted to find a way to show her how much he appreciated her and everything she did for him. He needed to show her just how much he truly needed her. Treasured her.

He needed to be one with her. He needed to make love to her.

Whenever they made love, he always felt closer. He always gave everything. His heart and soul. All of him. He let out another breath, thinking about Calleigh, wondering if she felt the same.

"Time, alone," he murmured low. It always made him think.

Horatio blinked, looking up at the ceiling. His mind full of thoughts and activity as the sounds of the crashing tide and seagulls slowly faded from his mind. His eyes slowly closed and his mind drifted for a while then his eyes suddenly snapped open. A small smile began to form on his face and his eyes slowly crinkled at the corners. He rose from the couch with a groan… and a newfound grin.

The redhead strolled into the den, sat at his desk and turned on the computer. He smirked, speaking aloud.

"She's gonna love this— actually," he smiled widely and his brows arched, "It's gonna blow her away."

He tapped a few buttons on the keyboard with a very mischievous grin on his face. After about two hours of browsing and researching he reached for the cordless phone and dialed.

"Mr. Alan Bernard, please."

Horatio swayed with pleasure in his leather chair, leaning back waiting for the man to pick up the call.

"This is Alan," a man answered in a cheerful tone.

"Alan, it's Horatio Caine. How are you and the family doing my friend?"

"Horatio! Wow, long time man. I'm good. The family's great! How are you doing?" The man's loud tone echoed through the phone and Horatio had to pull it back a bit from his ear.

"Planning," Horatio answered with tightening eyes and a cheshire grin. "I'd like to make a reservation."

"Sure, it would be my pleasure. Tell me what you have in mind and let me see if I can get you a package deal at a good rate."

Horatio exhaled softly. His mind's eye already envisioning the two of them alone, somewhere peaceful. Warm and beautiful. "A quiet getaway for two," he answered in a silky, smooth tone."

The man chuckled, hearing the tranquility in his voice. "Ahhh, you and lady friend I take it." The man scratched his chin. "We'll have to make sure this is somewhere very special and… romantic. Women always love that."

Horatio laughed and nodded. "I already have the place picked out my friend. I just need you to set up all the details for me and make it happen, okay?"

"Absolutely," he answered, opening a travel appointment book. "Do you have a maximum on what you would like to spend?"

"No." Horatio instantly continued, "No limits. Money is not an object here, pleasure is. I want… I need the best for her."

Alan smiled, then nodded in curiosity. "She sure sounds like a very special lady, Horatio. I'm not quite sure I've ever heard you sound so… happy before."

"She is," Horatio chuckled and smiled sitting up in the chair more as a message popped up on his AIM screen. "Hang on a minute Alan," he said tapping the keys in response.

Bulletgirl: "Hey, you should be in bed resting! What are you doing?"

Justice4all: "Just catching up on some e-mails. How are you, beauitful?"

Bulletgirl: "Bored. It's not the same without you, handsome."

Justice4all: "Same here, sweetheart. I'll be back before you know it."

Bulletgirl: "Not if you don't rest! Now get back to bed, handsome. That's an order!"

Horatio laughed.

Justice4all: "Yes ma'am. Talk to you later."

And with that he quickly signed off.

He spoke into the phone again. "All right Alan. Let's get this done." He rushed, knowing the phone would soon be ringing and it would be Calleigh checking up on him again.

"Okay, how long are we talking about here, Horatio?"

Horatio's eyes narrowed in thought. "Um… Let's make it two long, full weeks," he grinned, knowing Calleigh would die.

"Okay, just tell me where you want to go and when… then we can get started on all the details of this trip ASAP."

With tongue in cheek Horatio nodded with a wide grin. "Thank you, Alan."

III

It wasn't long after the call, when the telephone phone rang. Horatio looked at the caller ID and laughed. "Hello beautiful," he answered with laughter in his low sensual tone, feeling better about things. Much better!

Calleigh closed her eyes to his hypnotic tone. "Hi handsome. Are you resting?"

"Something like that."

"Horatio!" she breathed in that high-pitched tone he loved.

He chuckled and felt rather pleased with himself and their new upcoming plans. He replied smoothly, "I'm resting. I promise you. How's your day going?"

Calleigh sighed, "Slow… it's going slow." Not her normal contented sigh but the sad one Horatio knew so well.

Horatio exhaled hearing the sadness in her tone. "Hey, how about I run a nice bath for you when you get home. It will soothe you."

Calleigh grinned. "That sounds wonderful," she moaned thinking about it. "But… I want you resting, okay? I can do it myself."

"Absolutely not," he said in a firm tone thinking, 'Enough of this bullshit. I'm resting and following doctor's orders…' His tone was resolute, "I will not have the pleasure of running you a bath also taken from me."

Calleigh's brow rose. She blinked hearing the tenacity in his tone. "Okay," she said quietly hearing the frustration in his voice. "I'm sorry to be a nag… but I worry about you Horatio."

He let out a soft breath. "You're not a nag, sweetheart. I'm lucky to have you and, I have been… put at a standstill in the pleasing you department as of late. It's…" He clenched his jaw trying to calm himself. "It's… getting to me. The least I can do is run a bath for you. It would make me happy," he said softly, mellowing.

"And… it would definitely please me," Calleigh drawled with a mega smile. One that Horatio could see in his mind's eye, as well as hear in her tone.

"Okay, how about I pick up some Chinese for dinner, handsome?"

"Um… I have that covered," he said lowly hoping she wouldn't be too upset.

"Horatio! You. Resting. You do remember Joe's words, yes?"

"Yes I do, sweetheart but running a bath and making dinner for the woman I love, are not considered strenuous activities, last time I checked. I assure you, beautiful I am taking the meds and resting as well. I'm… also feeling a lot better too."

"I'm glad," she whispered and a moment of silence filled the line. "I really miss you," she breathed softly.

A low hum left Horatio's lips as he realized she was feeling exactly the same as he was. He spoke in a tone soft as satin, "I miss you too beautiful, more than you can imagine, and… I promise to make it all up to you very, very soon."

'That voice.' Loving the sound of his voice and the things it did to her. Calleigh bit down on her lip just anticipating being one with him again. "Nothing… strenuous," she reminded gently but felt her body respond to her sensual thoughts.

He smiled knowingly. "I understand," he answered lowly.

But the redhead had plans for her tonight. He would make it work too. This was going to happen. He grinned just thinking about it and his lower loins stirred. His tone was velvety smooth, "Just… promise me… you'll keep an open mind."

She snapped with apprehension, "What do you mean Horatio?"

In his softest, silkiness tone he repeated, "Just say, 'I'll keep an open mind, Horatio.'"

Calleigh moaned softly hearing the low smooth tone of his voice. She hesitated, feeling the yearning course through her. Her eyes closed to his hypnotic voice and she replied in a trance, "I'll… keep an open mind, Horatio."

His rich answering chuckle destroyed her. She felt every part of her body come alive and tingle.

"Thank you, Calleigh," he lowly purred.

She closed her eyes to the sound of his sultry, smoky voice and melted, taking him in, absorbing his incredibly arousing tone. Her mind painted sensual images and her heart raced as she inhaled a needy breath, zoning out.

"Calleigh," he softly called.

Her glazed-over eyes shot open and she gasped coming back to reality…, seeing Eric moving in her direction. She shoved her hair out of her face and exhaled loudly into the phone.

"Hang on, Horatio," she said breathily. Clearly flustered.

She inhaled deeply getting back into work mode as Eric approached.

"Hey Cal. I hate to disturb the bullet girl and her striations but we have a call out. Looks like it's you and me," he said with a look of concern. "You okay Cal, you looked all-flushed and—"

With wide eyes, she put her hand up in a stopping motion. "I'm fine," she said cutting him off with a small smile.

"Okay," Eric responded slowly studying her. He smirked, "I'm sure you'd rather be doing this call with Horatio anyway." He laughed teasing her, "I'll meet you out front," he said with a glance over his shoulder then headed out the door.

She murmured, "I'd rather be doing, Horatio. Period."

Her eyes widened as she heard her name being called and remembered the phone in her hand. She quickly lifted it to her ear.

"Horatio? Oh my god, I'm so sorry."

Horatio's low alluring laughter echoed through the line, her head, and her still buzzing body. Calleigh turned beet red knowing he heard her comment. She smirked. "Eavesdropping is not nice, Lieutenant."

"Oh, sweetheart, I would love to be a fly on your wall," he said in a very tantalizing tone."

Calleigh shook her head trying to find some semblance of control. He had her way off balance. Way, way off balance, as she exhaled, "This has been fun but I have to go, handsome. We just got a call out."

With lips curved upward, Horatio sighed, "Watch your back, beautiful… and hurry home."

"Always," she smiled and closed her phone letting out a long lingering breath. "The things that man does to me," she whispered, then fanned her warm face with a chuckle.

"Time to go to work, Duquesne," she paused and gave a glance around before heading out, "and while you're at it… get your head out of the gutter!" She chuckled walking out of the lab.

Horatio clicked off the phone with a smile then in thought dialed Joe.

"Dr. Gannon," he answered.

"Hey Joe," Horatio greeted cheerfully.

Joe frowned with concern, "Everything okay, Horatio? How you feeling?"

"Fine Joe. Thank you. The redhead knew the good doctor would be worried. Horatio almost never called him. "I um, have a question though. I know you said I needed to rest for the next few weeks, but what if that was cut a little short."

"I was wondering how long it would take you to crack, "Joe chuckled, "it's amazing how sometimes being home can drive us insane huh?"

"Yeah," Horatio scoffed. "Um…, the reason I'm asking is not work-related." Horatio paused, "I'm doing a little planning… for a special vacation."

"That's great news," Joe said happily. "You can use one and I'm sure Calleigh will be thrilled as well."

"It's a surprise, which is why I needed your okay on this first. I don't want any backlash from my southern belle."

Joe laughed. "Yeah, I can understand that. Two weeks of real rest at home should make you well enough for travel Horatio. I don't see a problem and hopefully you'll have a very nice vacation. God knows you deserve it. The both of you!"

"Thank you Joe," Horatio said sincerely with a grin. "Um, one more thing. I have a question about scuba diving—"

"No!" Joe snapped. "The pressure could hurt your head and set you back, so before you do anything like this, I want you in here for a follow up, okay? A full physical!"

Horatio frowned and groaned, "All right. You're on. We have a deal, and could you please keep this quiet. I don't want her to find out about this any time soon."

"Okay, Horatio. You rest up and take care of yourself in the meantime. Call me if anything."

"Will do, Joe. Thank you my friend," Horatio said hanging up.

He smiled widely and wiggled his brows, rubbing his hands together. He exhaled happily, "Time to make dinner."

Horatio busied himself in the kitchen, cooking and cleaning up as he went along. First order of business he thought as he began.

'Music.'

'Sade, to be exact.'

Slow, exotic, sensual music that just flowed and put you in the mood… if you weren't. But oh, how he was.

A soft steamy voice, Sade was one of his favorites and Calleigh was also becoming a fan. Sensuous elements of island beats, smooth jazz, R&B, with sultry stylization. No Ordinary Love was one of his favorites among many others.

He smiled in thought at Calleigh's favorite, Your Love is King.And that was exactly what she made him feel like. Her king. Horatio smiled as he walked over towards the stereo and hit a button.

A soft, calming melody began to play as he exhaled quietly, moving from the fridge to the kitchen counter getting right to work.

He cut up some tomatoes, red onion, radishes, and tossed them into a salad, adding a handful of baby spinach, knowing she loved it in her salad. He put it in the fridge to chill and took out the chicken going to work.

About an hour passed and Horatio was just about done. He dried his hands with the dishtowel. The chicken was in the oven. The salad chilling and the wine on ice. The table was set. Two long stem roses in an elongated vase were his centerpiece. He surveyed the kitchen then with a nod headed upstairs to shower and change.

She would be home soon. He inhaled a deep breath thinking about that. How good it felt to have her come home to him. He wondered if she felt the same when the roles were reversed. When he came home to Calleigh, and one of her beautiful dinners they shared together.

Horatio took a quick shower then changed into a pair of loose blue jeans and a dark blue, button down shirt. He grinned buttoning up, and stopped short moving towards the top with a chuckle, making sure to leave her some eye candy.

He headed back into the bathroom and began situating and arranging the candles… he would wait until after dinner to light them. He grinned then licked his lips in anticipation.

Tonight he would please her. Tonight, she would be screaming his name once again… and again and again, he grinned. It had been way too long since he heard it come from her soft, luscious lips.

"Horatio?" Came the softest, sweetest, southern tone he'd had ever heard.

His eyes closed for a moment reveling in that sweet, soft tone then he quickly headed downstairs.

"I'm coming," he replied, shaking his head side to side with a chuckle at his choice of words.

Those two words, "I'm coming," were said, unintentionally all throughout the day but never when he wanted them most.

Oh, she said them a few times on occasion and he did too but he wanted more. He wanted her to really let go. Curse, scream and yell her pleasure to him. It drove him absolutely insane to hear her say those two words. To hear her breathe them hard against his ear and scream them while in the throes of climax with her arms wrapped tightly around his body.

His jaw set. He exhaled feeling his loins stir then shook his head clear, wondering how the hell he even got on the subject.

Calleigh was softly singing along, 'This is No Ordinary Love,' When she saw him coming down the stairs. She beamed him a gorgeous smiled. "It smells incredible in here, what in the world do you have cooking?"

Horatio walked over, wrapped his loving arms around her and kissed her soundly on those, full, rosy, lips.

He drew back. "Chicken Verdi, with broccoli rabe on the side, and I made you a salad… just in case you were in the mood." He grinned and looked down trying to get his mind off sex and on dinner. It was impossible!

"Mmm," Calleigh hummed her delight inhaling deeply this time and felt a certain yearning hit. She suddenly felt a rush of warmth course through her.

"You smell… really good," she grinned inhaling him deeply, leaning in closer, near his neck. It was the Grey Flannel he wore that she loved. The scent was intoxicating to her every time she breathed it in. It had two different characters when she thought about it, soft and fresh, and warm and shadowy, just like the sexy redhead standing before her.

Calleigh had to get her mind off him before she jumped his bones right there on the stairs! Her green eyes tightened for just a moment thinking about it and he caught her.

"What?" He quietly asked.

"Nothing," she answered with a smirk and shook her head, knowing he caught her.

Horatio's brows knitted. He saw her eyes narrow and her lips curve up. He wondered what she was thinking. "You were clearly thinking about something sweetheart. You don't want to share?" He smoothly breathed, tracing a tender finger over her cheek.

Calleigh smiled and looked down. "Trust me. You don't want to know, handsome."

Horatio's brows arched high. "Maybe after dinner you'll share your thoughts with me."

She chuckled, "Maybe…" She exhaled and looked over at the table seeing the red rose and white rose. She turned back towards him and held his crystal blue eyes for a long moment. "I love the roses," she said beaming; caressing his cheek with a warm, loving hand."

Horatio swallowed hard feeling the loss of control below his waistline. He took a step back from his blonde beauty.

"Okay, so… do you want to eat first or take a nice relaxing bath?"

Calleigh slowly licked her lips and turned towards the kitchen. The smells where incredible and she suddenly felt very hungry. "I'm starving!" She exclaimed, while Horatio did his best to get past that slow, sensual tongue that just slipped out and ever so slowly moistened her rosy plump lips. He clenched his teeth together and suppressed a groan.

"Then… dinner it is beautiful," he said in a strained tone, taking her by the hand. He led her to the table, pulled her chair out for her and chuckled as she stared at him.

"You look… well," she said taken aback a bit.

Horatio smiled at her. "I guess resting up for the whole week has really made a difference. I do feel good," he admitted quietly. "Recharged," his brows rose then wiggled, "so to speak."

Calleigh laughed. "Could I use some of your battery, handsome? Mine seems to be depleted and drained," she chuckled, "Can you give me a jump start?"

Horatio turned and his eyes fixed on her eagerly. Her slow southern drawl and his erotic imagination of jump starting her caused sensual visions to explode in his head. "Sure… thing," he said dryly, clearing his throat.

God he missed her and he didn't realize how much until his lower loins reminded him again, for the third time! He was getting worried he may not make it through dinner.

They had been spending so much time together, day in and day out, their relationship had grown. It was amazing. It brought them closer and he was looking forward to having her all to himself again in a few weeks. She was his angel and as she put it, he was her king. He smiled with glazed-over eyes.

"Handsome," she said, seeing him zone out. "Everything okay?"

He walked over toward her, kissed her softly on the lips and nodded. "Perfect, now that you're home."

He put the plates on the table, took the salad out, threw on some fresh croutons, then grabbed the bottle of wine.

Calleigh gave him a grin.

He seemed to have it all under control as usual… and Calleigh had to giggle because the soft melody had just changed and SmoothOperator was now playing. The timing was impeccable.

"Did you plan that?" She asked feeling giddy.

He lifted his gaze toward her, oblivious. "Plan what?" He asked softly none the wiser.

She gave him a megawatt smile. "Smooth Operator is playing, Horatio."

"It took him a moment but he grinned then nodded. "I see." He paused and finished pouring the wine. "Um, no, I didn't plan that sweetheart… but I wished I did."

Calleigh smiled. "If I didn't know any better, I would say someone is trying to wine and dine me tonight."

Horatio's low rich laughter filled her ears and she sighed, rubbing her hand along his back as he poured the wine.

"Every night," he said in that low sensual tone of his. He sat and waited then lifted his glass towards her. "To you beautiful and to a wonderful night together for us.

Calleigh smiled and touched his glass. "To us," she repeated, staring into those amazing pools of blue. She sipped the wine. "Merlot. I love it."

Horatio nodded and took another mouthful of his, knowing he could down the whole bottle and it wouldn't help to calm his desire to have her tonight.

Calleigh cut a piece of the chicken and lifted the fork to her mouth.

"Mmmm, this is incredible, Horatio," she said, finding his loving gaze upon her.

"I'm glad you like it," his tone was incredibly soft.

Calleigh wondered if it could get any softer. Her belly fluttered and she felt that familiar tingle rising up in her.

He looked great, she thought, her eyes fixed on some of his bare chest that was pleasantly teasing her. She wanted to see more and her gaze moved to his eyes. His fiery red hair looked amazingly soft, so soft, that Calleigh wanted to run her fingers through it, while holding his lips against hers. His crystal blue eyes… she could stare into them for all eternity.

"Are you gonna eat?" She asked, devouring her food.

Horatio nodded and lifted his fork, trying to calm the other part of his body that was raised at full attention. "I'm just… enjoying you for a change sweetheart."

That smooth velvety tone again. 'Oh God.' Calleigh closed her legs under the table and wondered if he drugged the food or wine. He was turning her on like crazy and she felt a sudden moistness growing between her thighs. She seemed to have no control tonight and knew exactly why. She was really missing him too.

"Eat, Horatio," she urged, as her face flushed and she moaned low.

Horatio's head tilted curiously. "Are… you all right?"

He didn't miss a beat. She closed her eyes and raked a hand through her long blonde hair then nodded. "Fine…" she shook her head, "I mean, this is just so good."

"I um… have a very nice dessert planned for you as well," he said with a bit of huskiness in his tone.

'Oh my God!' Calleigh thought feeling her desire soar. Now he's going rough on me with his voice. She bit down on her lip and shook her head at him, her tone strained a bit. "What… kind of dessert?"

Horatio let out a low hummed that vibrated through his chest and coursed throughout her body. Calleigh thought she was gonna climax right there. She closed her legs and exhaled a breath.

"That's a surprise for later," he answered with a beautiful Horatio smile.

"Stop!" She snapped out suddenly. You're killing me, handsome. She swallowed the last bit of her food and exhaled hard, unable to hold back anymore.

Horatio blinked in confusion. His tone so soft. "I— I don't… what?" He innocently questioned.

Calleigh rose and reached for his hand. "C'mon! I need a bath… and I need it now!" She insisted, tugging on his hand. "And… You're coming with me!"

Horatio's brows arched high in surprise. He rose taken aback with her urgency. He effortlessly went with her thinking, 'thiswasgonnabegood.' They were both on fire and hadn't touched each other yet.

"Get changed," he quietly said, leaving her in the bedroom as he went into the bathroom and began to light the candles. He turned on the water and hit the massage button watching the bubbles begin to surface. With a small grin, Horatio turned the soft music on making sure it was low then he dimmed the lights.

'Perfect.'

Calleigh walked in butt naked and Horatio swallowed hard, stunned, yet eagerly taking in her glorious feminine body. His eyes lazily caressed over her soft curves and beautiful breasts. He groaned low and instantly hardened, for the fourth time.

Calleigh headed for him with a look of pure lust. Her emerald eyes gleamed with intent.

"Calleigh," he breathed lowly as she backed him up against the marble wall.

Her hand slid over his chest and up his neck onto the side of his face. "Kiss me," she whispered, on tiptoes, against his warm lips.

Horatio's mind reeled. His sex so hard it strained, pushing against his zipper. He wrapped his arms around her with a husky groan, "Absolutely."

His lips covered hers softly, then slanted as he cupped her rear and pulled her closer right onto his body, letting her feel his steely length. He gently slid his tongue into her mouth and groaned at the warm welcoming sensations.

Calleigh let out a needy moan. Her hands swift. She tugged on his jeans and popped the button open then unzipped him. She moaned her delight staring at his raging hard on and slowly kissed along his bare chest, quickly making her way down into his red treasure trail of love, squatting before him.

Horatio gasped and jerked with every warm touch of her lips and slithering tongue. He groaned while his mind spun in sensation. This wasn't what he had planned but he also didn't have the will power to stop her either… nor did he want to. 'Those lips.' She felt so good.

He swallowed hard and let out a heavy gasp as she took hold of him, stroked him then covered him with her soft, warm mouth.

A deep-seated groan left his throat as his head dropped back against the tile and he gasped through gritted teeth, feeling wet heat surround him.

"You're… so hard," she rasped, drawing back, finding his fiery gaze locked on her. "Thick and hot," she breathed, licking her lips.

"Sweetheart," he rumbled through gritted teeth, barely holding it together. His hands slid down into her soft hair, he delighted in the sensation of her silky tresses against his fingers. His jaw clenched each time she slid her tongue along the underside of his steely length causing his fingers to curl and tighten in her hair.

"Christ— Calleigh," he groan in a choppy breath, hanging onto her hair as she began to move, quickening her pace.

Horatio could feel it rising up in him already. His heated surge… which felt like a volcano ready to erupt. His hips lifted, he groaned, so close, then with force pulled her up against his body.

Breathing heavily, he kissed her hard, with unrestrained passion. He pressed his open mouth against hers, groaning, searching for her tongue. Swirling his against hers, battling for control as she sucked on his tongue driving him insane.

He quickly shifted gears and began to ravish her body with need. His large hands caressed her sides, slid up over her ribs and to her breasts. With a deep growl he bent and captured one swollen nipple. He licked, nipped and suckled it until it was wet, stiff and sensitive.

Calleigh cried out writhing against him. Her fingers clutched his hair, holding him there, feeling his tongue circle, teasingly then his lips quickly captured her taut nipple suckling.

"Oh god! Horatio!" She sighed, panted and cried her pleasure breathless. "I'm so hot… for you… I feel like I can—"

Horatio's hand caused her to gasp. One hand glided over her silkiness and she cried out unable to breathe or finish her sentence.

"Come…," he huskily whispered against her lips then slid back down toward her other breast, giving it the same love and affection.

"Yes!" She cried feeling his fingers slip and skim along her heated core.

Horatio quickly turned and pressed her against the wall. He stood in front of her, his eyes locked on hers. He leaned down and kissed her hard, hungry, devouring her with need.

His hands moved rapidly towards her waist, around to her rear. She felt his fingers slide and grip, then his large hands cupped her ass.

Calleigh quickly pulled back. "No…" she breathlessly gasped, shaking her head.

Breathing extremely hard, Horatio stared at her like she had three heads. "No?" He questioned stunned.

She rasped, "No, lifting me up! I know you want this as much as I do but nothing strenuous she reminded. Horatio groaned. She knew he was going to lift her and take her right against the wall in another split second.

"There!" She urgently pointed towards the bathroom vanity making him look.

His jaw set and without another thought, he grabbed her hand and dragged her toward the counter. Strong hands held her. He kissed her hungrily again then turned her away from him, facing the mirror.

Calleigh felt her excitement level go into overdrive. She planted her palms down on the cool marble surface and felt his gentle, yet powerful hands position her from behind. A low groan left his throat.

"Oh God! Horatio, please!" Calleigh cried out, feeling him move in behind her. His eyes intense, hungry, while she stared at his reflection in the mirror watching him.

The redhead leaned over her and slowly kissed along her back, his mouth open, as wet heat trailed up and down her spine. His hands slid smoothly over her sides, ribs, and hips then glided under, sliding along smooth skin. He cupped her full breasts, filling his hands, then with a loss of control, lunged forward and buried himself inside her silky warmth.

"God! Yesss!" She cried as her head reared back.

Horatio reached his left hand up and slid his fingers into her silky tresses, holding her gently, knowing it turned her on more.

He rammed forward again, deeper with a grunt. "Yes!" He growled, pulling back quickly, only to plunge forward again, completely sheathing himself, he stilled, absorbing the incredible sensations that were gripping him, surrounding him, covering him.

His hips pressed against her firm beautiful derriere and he grinded deliberately. So slowly, with eyes closed in concentration as incredible sensation racked his over-sensitized body. He was so, so close. He cursed low resting his head against her back, breathing erratically, moving slow, staying buried deep inside her.

"Oh! Ohh, God," Calleigh gasped. Her eyes watered, feeling his hard, full length buried deep inside her, touching that spot. She gasped as her legs began to shake feeling him embedded so deeply.

Her mind spun out of control, as she thought of his large size and girth, completely submerged within her already. Horatio was well endowed, and it usually took more than two thrusts to fill her but he was so hot and hard, and she was so wet…, he plunged in again, causing the intense pleasure to shatter her thoughts.

'Oh my god!" Calleigh's eyes closed in thought, feeling a powerful orgasm building. He thrust in again and her legs began to tremble. Moan after moan, began to roll off her lips while she leaned on the counter for support, her teary green eyes glued on him, in the mirror.

It was turning her on so much; seeing him so unrestrained, so passionate, as his head fell back and he groaned each time he drove into her again and again. His strong hands tightened on her waist then gripped tightly onto her hips. He rammed his hips forward again with a growl.

Calleigh's orgasm hit like a thundering lightning bolt. A cry of passion so intense tore from her lips just as Horatio's right hand slid around her hip and his fingers began to circle her silky distended flesh.

"Yes! Yesss! Goddddd!" She cried, shaking, panting, pressing back against his long steely flesh, taking all of him deep inside her.

Horatio grunted and felt her tighten around him, envelop him. His hips thrust more. Harder. Deeper, as he concentrated on her silkiness, slipping and sliding over it with strong fingers again and again.

"Horatioooooo!" She screamed as her orgasm ripped through her. Her walls spasmed and clenched tightly around him, clenching and massaging his engorged sex.

"Yes— Calleigh!" He groaned breathless, "Beautiful—"

Horatio leaned over her, his stomach pressed against her silky back. His hot open mouth closed against her shoulder, slid to her neck, her back, kissing and licking, nipping, as his hips lifted, deeper and deeper. His breathing ragged as he filled his hands with her soft bouncing breasts, rocking her against the counter, pulling gently on her nipples. He gasped, grunted, cursed then let out a long satisfying groan lifting his hips, holding onto her tightly as he exploded with a mind-blowing orgasm.

Calleigh watched his body jerk and tense against her as he tightened his hold on her. She felt his hot love pulsing, filling her and Horatio groaned and shook his head riding it out with closed eyes, completely lost in ecstasy. He kept his body flushed against her, holding onto her hips with strong hands.

Calleigh stared in awe observing him. His eyes closed, his low groans and heavy breathing while he still pressed himself into her hard. He exhaled a deep breath after a moment then gently rested down against her back, breathing heavily, kissing her quivering body tenderly.

"Oh… my… god," Calleigh rasped in an uneven breath, feeling her legs quiver. "I guess… strenuous… went out the window."

Horatio let out a laugh. Completely breathless, "Yeah… I'm sorry… beautiful. I couldn't help myself…. or hold back this time. I had… to have you." He inhaled a gulp of air finishing, "This… was not what I had planned."

She questioned with a knowing smile, "No?"

"No," he exhaled deeply breathing more evenly. "Making slow, sweet love to you all night long in our bed was the plan."

Calleigh turned toward him breaking their connection. She kissed him softly and turned him, so he was resting, leaning back on the counter. "I had to have you too. Hard and fast," she breathless admitted. "I thought I was gonna… lose it at the dinner table. I needed you Horatio, more than ever. So much," she smiled softly and bit down on her lip shyly then licked her dry lips staring at his still, stiff manhood. "I still do."

Horatio shook his head, seeing her intentions. "Sweetheart… Jacuzzi," he breathed in a gritty tone, licking his lips trying to moisten his throat.

"I have a better idea," she grinned mischievously; seductively wetting her lips with her slow moving tongue, knowing he was observing her every move. She watched his jaw set then proceeded to slide down his body.

In anticipation, Horatio let out a slow breath and groaned when her lips wrapped around his sensitive flesh.

"Calleigh," he gasped then uncontrollably jerked against her soft lips, filling his hands with her silky hair.

She drew back gazing up at him with those bright green eyes. "Did you somehow get bigger?" She asked, staring at his engorged steely length. She exhaled with a wicked grin, "Lean your hands on the counter for support handsome."

"Jesus," he rasped, and did just that, feeling his whole body tighten. His intense blue eyes on the mirror this time, observing. Watching her from a side view.

Her tongue slid out and snaked around his heated flesh then her wet lips covered it. She stroked it up and down with her hand, placing her warm mouth around the tip.

"Calleigh," he breathily exhaled with a low moan, his eyes fixed on her mouth, her stroking hand. He cursed through gritted teeth watching the scene unfold in the mirror and was extremely turned on.

Horatio reached down and placed one hand behind her head, sliding his fingers into her hair while she worked up a very nice rhythm. His hips were slowly moving against her mouth, his hand gently cupped the back of her head as she took him deeply into the warm recess of her soft mouth.

"Ugh… Cal… leigh—" His eyes closed, his head tilted back in ecstasy.

She hummed her pleasure and shook her head wanting all of him. She began taking long strokes with her lips wrapped tightly around him. Her hand massaged lower while she slid her tongue along his taut skin and stroked his steely length in unison. She pulled back for a split second, still stroking as she breathed in an incredibly sexy tone, "Oh…, I want to taste you." She stared into his intense blue eyes.

Horatio's jaw set, his hips lifted and his fingers tightened in her hair. "Calleigh— Slow—, Uhh— Yes," he groaned with unbearable pleasure unable to form words.

Calleigh moved slowly, with purpose, stroking, sliding her tongue along his full length then wrapped her lips around him, taking him deep into her warm mouth with a moan. The vibration in unison with her mouth and hand caused him to harden even more.

"Sweetheart," he rumbled dryly with a groan barely holding back.

"Mmmmm." She hummed her pleasure again causing him to ignite then stroked, and sucked him into oblivion.

Horatio grunted, groaned and shattered, with both hands buried in her soft hair. His body jerked and shuddered above her while she continued, still feeling his love pour out.

A few minutes passed when Horatio pulled her up and kissed her softly. She drew back and held his relaxed and spent gaze. His bottom lip trembled slightly while he held her against his strong, lean body trying to catch his breath. Calleigh moaned in content and leaned her head against his shoulder, her hand slid south.

Horatio drew back and held her gaze. "Jacuzzi, sweetheart. I need to cool off."

"You!" She said in a high-pitched tone. I'm almost there again."

He smiled and his brows wiggled playfully. "Allow me to help you with that," he said in a dry whiskey tone. He took her hand and helped her get in, then joined her, this time keeping his distance at the other end. Calleigh stared at him confused.

"I'm a bad influence on you," she said, taking the sponge and running it along her tingling body and breasts.

Horatio exhaled with eyes locked on her every move. "Likewise sweetheart. I'm hoping my body won't rebel tomorrow."

Calleigh nodded sadly. "It's my fault. I'm sorry. I just can't seem to keep my hands off you tonight."

"It's not your fault…, and ditto. I feel the same way. I had to have you. It takes two beautiful. I guess two weeks is a long time… no I know it is," he gave her a lopsided boyish grin.

"Yes it is," she said, unexpectedly pinching one of her nipples. She moaned biting down on her lip.

Horatio's jaw set. The man was stunned with his blonde beauty. His erection instantly swelled back to life. He held her lustful gaze and knew it was gonna be good. He had hoped for something like this tonight but the fact that Calleigh was the one who took the initiative just made him harder.

Horatio licked his lips as she began to tease him, sliding her hands all over her sudsy body. His blue penetrating eyes glued on her.

"Are you enjoying the view?" She asked boldly, slowly moistening her full rosy lips.

"Oh yes. Very much so," A low groan left his lips as his sexy tone flowed over her.

"More," he sensually breathed, "Touch yourself."

"Like this," she breathed low, then slid her hands onto her breasts. She pinched and pulled at her nipples, eliciting a moan of pleasure while her head lolled in ecstasy.

"Oh, yes, beautiful," he huskily exhaled. "Put one hand between your thighs." His voice a low timbre, "I want to watch you."

Calleigh's mouth opened in pleasure. His incredibly sensual tone and words were driving her insane with need.

"I want you to close your eyes beautiful and listen to my voice. Follow my every command," he said quietly, reaching his own hand under the bubbling water.

Calleigh moaned low and let her eyes close feeling every nerve receptor go hot. His voice and low sensual tone was always her undoing. Seductively soft, velvety deep, sooo mesmerizing.

Her right hand moved under the water and Horatio's watched her chest rise with her short intake of breath. A low sigh left her parted lips while her left hand caressed her breast.

"Slow, beautiful…" he barely whispered, moving closer toward her.

"Oh, God," Calleigh sighed listening to his every word, lost to all time and space. Her only focus was the sound of his mesmerizing silky tone and the building pleasure between her legs.

Her left hand caressed her breast then slid inward as slippery fingers closed hard over her nipple. She pinched and pulled in ecstasy, moaned and cried feeling her insides clench.

Horatio slowly moved forward, urging her on. "Keep your eyes closed, sweetheart. Concentrate on my voice."

Calleigh barely nodded with a melodious sigh, moaning her pleasure. She gasped, suddenly feeling warm breath against her ear.

His seductive, sexual tone excited her even more when he breathed, ""Do it. Let yourself come for me sweetheart."

She was writhing, breathing rapidly as she cried, "Yes. Oh god…, Horatio."

He leaned in closer and traced the rim of her ear with his tongue whispering, "I love to watch you, Calleigh." He softly captured the earlobe and suckled gently.

"Yes," she barely whimpered as her body shook and her hand began to move faster under the water.

Horatio lowered his hand to one nipple and thumbed it slowly, circling. Calleigh gasped letting her head drop back against the cool tiles of the Jacuzzi. He breathed pressing his lips against her ear, "I love the way your eyes glaze when I touch your breasts. I love the way your breasts taste and feel in my mouth."

Her breath was coming in quick pants and she turned towards the sound of his voice, breathing hard, "Horatio…"

He covered her lips and slid his tongue into her open mouth, caressing her breasts. He drew back staring in awe at her face which held the beautiful expression of pleasure. "Come," he breathed against her ear, then lowered his lips capturing one stiff nipple. He suckled hard, then flicked his tongue across the taut bud and Calleigh screamed. Her hips bucked and she shattered, crying out in ecstasy.

Horatio licked his lips and watched her body shake, writh and blush uncontrollably. The water was going everywhere as she came undone. Her chest heaved as he leaned down and softly suckled against the other breast with a groan.

"Oh, Horatio," she breathlessly rasped, wrapping one hand around the back of his head holding him there. "So good, what… you do to me."

"You ready for more," he asked, caressing her face with one tender hand. "Open your eyes beautiful," he soothed in that silky tone. "Look at me."

Calleigh's watery eyes slowly opened to find him a breath away. He smiled softly, leaned in and kissed her parted lips then drew back.

"My turn," he said huskily, holding her stunned gaze. His tone was deliciously erotic as he breathed, "Have I mentioned, how much I love the way you taste."

Horatio's right hand went down under the water, between her thighs then came up with her hand in his. He held her questioning gaze and lifted her hand to his lips then in a slow erotic move gently sucked and licked along her fingers.

Calleigh gasped and moaned feeling her warmth clenched at the sight of his lips wrapped around her fingers. "Oh, god," she rasped, feeling his left hand move under the water, sliding up along her inner thigh.

Her breathing immediately picked up and he smiled, knowing how affected she was. Holding her heated gaze, he gently moved two fingers inside her. His lips opened against her as she breathed heavily gasping and whimpering to him.

His thumb began to circle and press against her swollen love button. His hand began to move slow, his fingers curled, deep, finding her pleasure point, his thumb working in unison. He felt her legs begin to shake; her moans grew louder, coming faster.

"Go ahead beautiful," he breathed seductively against her trembling lips. "Come again for me, I want to feel you explode."

Calleigh was moaning, sighing, louder and louder, her hips lifting against his fingers, the pleasure too much as her orgasm hit her like a tidal wave and she grabbed onto Horatio's shoulders for support.

His jaw clenched tight, his tone rough, "That's it beautiful, so hot… I feel you all over my fingers."

Calleigh was writhing under him, splashing the water all over as her orgasm destroyed her.

Horatio kept moving his fingers, kept rubbing her, knowing she was having multiple orgasms. "I want more Calleigh," he groaned feeling the ache in his throbbing length. He bent and captured a stiff nipple again. "More," he growled feeling her walls grip his fingers hard.

"Yes, Yes. That's it beautiful," he urged, watching her face turn red, and the redness spread down her chest. "Come beautiful, keep coming," he groaned, moving his fingers, concentrating on that one special spot. He felt her heat cover his fingers in the warm water.

Calleigh's body stiffened then tensed. She shook and cry after cry tore from her lips that Horatio covered. His lips open against hers, taking her breaths and cries into his mouth swallowing them.

Slowly he removed his fingers and drew back, kissing her softly.

Calleigh was slouched down in the Jacuzzi, looking spent and thoroughly loved. She was breathing incredibly hard and Horatio smiled seeing her contentment. He stared in thought and knew he would make her come again tonight, only he would be inside her this time.

"Oh, god," Calleigh breathed, breathless. "I… can't move."

"You're beautiful," he rumbled low, leaning in to kiss her softly. "No worries. Just let your body relax."

Calleigh let out a long lingering breath and sighed, resting her head against his shoulder. "I'm… exhausted, handsome."

Horatio smiled and ran a loving hand over her hair. He rose, grabbed her robe then lifted a hand to help her out. Calleigh stared, stunned at his rock hard sex. She shook her head feeling depleted of all energy wondering how she was gonna take care of him.

Horatio wrapped her robe around her and led her into the bedroom, where she immediately collapsed down on the bed. Completely sated and done in, she drowsily gave him a megawatt smile, batting her eyelashes at him and sang sweetly, cupping his face, "Your love is Kinggg."

Horatio smiled staring into her beautiful sleepy eyes, "Rest. I'll be back sweetheart," he said with another tender kiss then headed out of the bedroom.

Calleigh lips remained curved up as she wondered what he was up to; she closed her eyes feeling so good, still humming the soft melody. "Your love is king."

Not five minutes passed when Horatio walked back into the room with a dessert dish in hand and a wide smile on his face.

"Guess, what I have sweetheart—," he quietly called then stopped in place.

He exhaled softly staring at his beautiful blonde bombshell who was fast asleep and curled up like an angel with his pillow wrapped in her arms.

"Tomorrow's another day," he whispered with a grin. Then put the dish down quietly on the night table.

With love and care, Horatio pulled the covers up over her and gently tucked her in. He sat beside her on the bed for a moment and lovingly caressed her hair back off her face. He leaned down with a feather light kiss whispering, "Sleep with the angels beautiful."

He watched her sleep peacefully for a while then rose, took the plate off the dresser and went back downstairs. He put it back in the fridge with a smile.

He had exhausted his beautiful blonde southern belle. He yawned and nodded, and she had pretty much done him in too.

Time for sleep," he said shutting the lights. He headed back upstairs and crawled into bed with Calleigh, who instantly snuggled up against him in her sleep.

She tucked her head in against his neck, her leg wrapped around his and she murmured softly against his shoulder, "Love you, Horatio."

He turned just a bit to find her eyes. They were closed and she was still asleep. A wide smile spread across his face and he exhaled in content. He sang in a low whisper, "Your love is king."

Horatio closed his eyes feeling just like her king and the words repeated in his head until they slowly faded and he drifted off into a peaceful deep sleep.

TBC…


Okay… there is your fluff! Now the fun begins… again! Oh, and some of you are guessing what will happen and what Horatio is planning. So far… only 1 person has it right… and I can't say who, or I will give it all away.
