Chapter 7
The lab was definitely quiet, but neither was going to risk being caught in such an intimate position. Sara regrettably pulled away from him and moaned as he did at the loss of contact. Grissom stood and gathered the bombing report as Sara washed out her coffee cup. Before he left he approached Sara by the sink and pushed himself against her back and kissed her lightly below her ear. She smiled with a sigh escaping her lips. "I gotta go."
Sara placed the cup on the draining board as his lips caressed the soft skin of her neck again. "I know, I'll see you later." She turned to face him and gave him a quick hug and a kiss before watching him disappear from the break room.

Catherine, Nick, Warrick and Sara were searching through evidence in the layout room when a cell phone started ringing. Everyone reached for there's. "Mine." Sara said as she answered it, still carrying on with the evidence sorting. "Sidle."
"Hmmm, Miss Sidle." Sara tried hard to suppress the smile that appeared on her face, but failed. The familiar voice always did that to her. The other three looked up at her as she continued to work and with a growing smile.
"Well?" Sara asked happily.
"Patience Sara, Patience." Grissom's voice was slow and seductive.
"I'll give you patience." Nick tried to get her attention and mouthing 'who is it?' Sara just grinned and shook her head and mouthed back 'go away'. Nick frowned and turned to Warrick and Catherine who just shrugged.
Grissom smiled. "Bellagio, 6pm tomorrow night, were something sexy." Sara laughed at his slow deliverance for a night out.
"Erm I'm not sure. I might be working, I'd have to ask my boss." Sara grinned as she stopped working and started to fiddle with a button on her lab coat.
"Stop teasing me." Grissom chuckled down the phone.
"I'm not, you rang me remember." She tried saying innocently.
"Boss says, we have night off tomorrow, sound good?"
"Yup."
"Now that's sorted get back to work." Grissom told her softly. Sara continued to play with her button and Grissom continued. "Stop that Sara, it's going to come off if you pull it anymore." Sara's mouth hung open as she turned to the door and scanned the corridor. He hung up with another chuckle and Sara hung up automatically.
"Who was that, what was that all about?" Nick asked trying to pry information from her. "And what did they say to shock you?"
Sara turned to him and closed her mouth. "Um, What? Oh.just an old friend."
"If that's so, what did they say?" Warrick asked the question this time.
"Nothing much. You guy's alright with this?" Sara waved her hand over the table and once receiving three nods she left the room.
*******************************
5.59pm and the night sky was incredible. The Las Vegas lights shone brightly, but the stars could still be seen. Sara stood outside the Bellagio waiting for Grissom to arrive. She was wearing a long navy blue dress and heeled shoes. A shawl was draped over her shoulders to protect her from the light breeze that was blowing.
Grissom approached her quietly as he drank in the sight of her. It was the first time he'd seen her in a dress. The other times they'd been out she wore jeans, long skirts and suits. This was definitely a night to remember. Sara turned with a feeling of his presence being close by and smiled widely as he stopped dead in his tracks. He was surprised when she turned around, it felt like she knew he was there looking at her.
Grissom took the last few steps towards her and kissed her softly. "You look amazing." He said hugging her and whispered in her ear. "And very sexy." Sara giggled and shook her head. She grasped his hand and waited for him to lead the way.
*******************************
The Bellagio was their first proper dinner date. Movies, diners, small restaurants and a picnic were just some of the places they'd been to together, but the Bellagio was Grissom's idea alone and she was proud of him. She knew he didn't like crowds much, neither did she, but they were both willing to try something new and this was something neither one had done before. They had been here many times, but only on work related matters, so this was a big change. The table was set away from the stage and dance floor, but close enough to still talk without shouting and able to listen to the live band music. They had danced and eaten and most of all talked. Talking was new, but they had been improving conversation on the telephone and brief personal talk during work. Sara knew how uncomfortable Grissom felt talking with a crowd, even with the gang around. He's secretive, quiet and shy and doesn't talk to Sara with the others around unless its case related.
*******************************
Grissom convinced Sara to leave her car and let him drive her home. It took some negotiation, but he sealed the argument with a deep and passionate kiss.
Grissom pulled up to her apartment and jumped out to open her door. Sara accepted his help as her feet were starting to hurt from the dancing and walking she'd done. Grissom escorted her to the front door and waited while she dug around her bag for her keys. Once she opened to door she turned to him looking down at her hands. "I managed to get hold of a bag of Greg's special coffee, if you'd like some?" Grissom nodded and followed her.
Sara turned her coffee pot on and winced as she removed her heeled shoes. They each sat on a breakfast barstool, facing each other and waited for the coffee to boil. Sara had her dress bunched up to her knees as she tried to relieve some of the pain in her feet. Grissom noticed her discomfort and without hesitation he leaned down to take a foot and began to rub it. Sara smiled and relaxed as his hands worked magic over the heel and ball of her foot and then her ankle. She sighed, which soon changed to a moan as his hands moved up her calf. He did the same to her other foot and once he finished he leaned forward to catch her lips as she sighed again.
Grissom moved from his stool to push himself between her legs without breaking the strong kiss they were sharing. He slowly trailed sweet small kisses down her soft neck to the sensitive spot below her ear. "Oh." Grissom smiled against her neck and continued to hear more gasps and incoherent sounds from her. Sara couldn't believe that this was feeling so good, his mouth on her neck, his body pressed against hers and his hands exploring her body teasingly.
Through the incredible sensations she barely heard his mumbled voice, but could make out the passion, lust and want in his quiet question. "Can I stay?"
Sara replied by taking his hand and leading him to her bedroom.
