It was Sara's birthday and Catherine had insisted the team go out to celebrate. A night of dancing and drinking was exactly what they all needed to wind down from a hectic week, she had said.
"It's bad enough we have to spend the evening in a crowded night club but did Catherine really have to insist that we get dressed up as well?" Grissom grumbled as he worked on his tie.
"Well it is my birthday." Sara called from the bathroom. "Besides, you know Cath likes any excuse to have a party."
"I wanted to spend your birthday alone with you." Grissom complained while putting on his suit jacket. He had opted for a black suit, black dress shirt and black tie. Sara loved him in all black, saying it brought out the blue in his eyes.
He had his back to her as she emerged from the bathroom and when he turned around his breath caught in his throat as he took her in. She was wearing a red halter dress that showed just enough cleavage and stopped several inches above her knees, showcasing her long legs. Her dark brown hair was down in waves and her makeup was flawless.
"See something you like, Dr. Grissom?" Sara smirked at the look on his face.
"That's it." Grissom reached for his phone on the dresser. "I'm calling Catherine and telling her we're not going to make it."
"Griss!" Sara laughed. "Don't be silly."
"Sara, honey, there is no way I can make it through an entire evening with you looking like that." Grissom practically panted as he watched her walk toward him.
"Well if you're a good boy, I'll let you play when we get home." Sara purred as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.
They stood in their bedroom making out like two horny teenagers when Grissom backed her up against the wall, slipping one hand up under her dress and trying to unzip it with his other hand.
"Nice try, lover." Sara said as she pushed him away and sauntered into the closet for her heels.
"Sorry, big guy." Grissom sighed as he looked down at the bulge in his suit pants. Running a hand down his bearded face, he made his way into the kitchen and poured himself a scotch to take the edge off while he waited for Sara. It was going to be a long night.
When Sara and Grissom entered the club, they found their friends at a table in the back already indulging in a round of drinks. Grissom thought poor Greg's eyes were going to bug out of his head the minute he saw Sara.
"Close your mouth, Greg." Grissom said as he pulled out a chair for Sara.
"Wow, Sara. Just… wow." Greg continued to stare at the brunette as she took her seat.
"Greggo, you better pick your jaw up off the floor before Griss gives you decomp duty for the rest of eternity." Nick chuckled as he took a pull from his beer.
"It would be so worth it." Greg said as he continued staring at Sara.
Sara giggled as she watched Grissom glare at Greg as he took a seat across from the younger man and immediately threw his arm around her shoulder. She loved when Grissom staked his claim on her.
"Happy birthday, Sara!" Catherine hollered as she handed Sara a shot of tequila. "You look hot girl!"
"Thanks, Cath." Sara smiled happily as she downed the liquid.
The group fell into easy conversation as a waitress came with another round of drinks for the table and Grissom ordered a double scotch. He was very aware of the looks Sara was getting from other men in the club and how she seemed oblivious to it all. He ran his fingertips along her shoulder while she conversed with their friends. He felt Sara put her hand on his thigh under the table and start rubbing slow circles on the inside of his leg, getting dangerously close to his crotch with each swipe of her fingers. Grissom squirmed in his seat as he sipped his drink. Sara was driving him crazy. He was halfway to tipsy and more than aroused. He knew it was going to take a miracle for him to make it through the evening without dragging Sara into the nearest dark corner and devouring her.
"So, Sara." Catherine grinned. "How did you manage to get Griss in a suit and tie outside of a courtroom?"
"It wasn't easy." Sara giggled as she threw back another shot and eyed the man beside her. "It wasn't without much complaint on his part, I assure you!"
"A tie is the male equivalent of a corset." Grissom grumbled as he pulled at the offending article around his neck.
"I promise to make it worth your while when we get home." Sara said in a sultry voice as she swatted Grissom's hands away from his tie.
"Promise?" Grissom leaned in and kissed her.
"You guys are so gross." Greg grumbled as he took a drink of his beer.
"You're just jealous, Greg cause Sara didn't choose you." Nick snickered, almost falling out of his seat in laughter when Greg threw a napkin at him and missed.
Sara took turns dancing with Nick and Greg while Grissom watched in amusement. A drunken Sara Sidle was quite a thing of beauty. Warrick and Catherine also took their turn on the dance floor a few times.
Then Sara suddenly squealed as Toni Braxton came over the speakers in the club. She ran back to the table, grabbing Grissom's hand and hauling him to the dance floor.
"I'll always think of you
Inside of my private thoughts
I can imagine you
Touching my private parts
And just the thought of you
I can't help but touch myself
That's why I want you so bad
Just one night of
Moonlight, with you there beside me
All night, doin' it again and again
You know, I want you so bad
Baby, baby, baby, baby"
"I love this song." Sara wrapped her arms around Grissom's neck. "Dance with me, baby."
Grissom wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her flush against him. Sara began moving her hips and he could feel her brushing against his growing erection. There was nothing sexier in the world to him than Sara Sidle, especially when she was grinding against him like she was at that moment.
"God Sara, do you know what you do to me?" Grissom whispered, licking the shell of her ear.
"I've got a feeling." Sara gave him a sultry smirk.
"Ohh, I get so high
When I'm around you, baby
I can touch the sky
You make my temperature rise
Baby, you're makin' me high
Baby, baby, baby, baby"
He kissed her, grinning when she opened her mouth to him. He could taste the tequila on her tongue mixing with the scotch on his. They were completely lost in each other. Her hands moved to his hair, pulling him as close to her as she could. His hands gripped her ass and pulled her against his erection, letting her feel exactly what she did to him.
"Can't get my mind off you
I think I might be obsessed
The very thought of you
Makes me want to get undressed
I wanna be with you
Inspite of what my heart says
I guess I want you too bad
All I want is
Moonlights, with you there inside me
All night, doin' it again and again
You know, I want you so bad
Baby, baby, baby, baby"
"Holy shit!" Nick laughed. "They're gonna go at it right there on the dance floor."
"Oh yuck!" Greg groaned.
"Hey, you two! Just take it to the bathroom and come back when you're done!" Catherine hollered drunkenly across the room.
"I don't think they're coming back, Cath." Warrick grinned knowingly.
Grissom and Sara finally broke apart, smiling at each other. He gave her a questioning look and she shook her head in silent acknowledgement. Grissom grabbed her hand and they waved goodbye to their friends as they headed toward the exit, intent on heading home and having their own private party.
