Chapter 4
Grissom stepped closer and wrapped his strong arms around her, pulling her into his warmth. Neither felt the need to cry anymore, they had cried so much, now there were only tears here and there. A memory, a place, a date, a toy, a food, or certain word would cause one tear to surface and soon there were no more to fall.
Sliding her hands under his shirt he gasped. They hadn't made love since that morning; it was too hard to do anything. Sleeping was all they thought about when they went to bed, all they did was comfort and hold each other as though the other were a life preserver.
A lifetime past in those weeks, drifting apart was no option. No longer able to live without each other was discovered many years ago when they were first dating.
Lowering his head to her ear he whispered softly. "Come back to bed."
She took his hand in hers and pulled him towards their bedroom. Back under the covers, their bodies warmed their skin until it sizzled and neither could bare it any longer. Their need to be close and to feel something other than what they were feeling was too great.
Sara turned in his arms and placed her hand on his cheek, waiting for his eyes to open and when they did she gave him a small smile and kissed his lips. "Make love to me Gil." Gazing into her eyes lovingly, making sure she wanted this. She could see his hesitation. "Please. Gil, make love to me." Her hand trailed down his neck as she kissed him again, reassuring him its what she wants.
He kissed her back tenderly, still unsure. Pulling her into his arms as he lay on his back, he never broke their joined lips. His hands ran up her sides, under her shirt to her shoulder blades. Caressing them gently as the kiss became frantic and passionate. He pulled her shirt over her head and began kissing her again.
Tangling her fingers in his hair, keeping his mouths glued hers. She rubbed her body against his and they felt the electricity spark through them. Letting his curls go from her grasp, she ran her hands down his chest and followed with her mouth after breaking for much needed air. Grissom's head pushed back into the pillows as she teased his nipples with her tongue and he groaned loudly when she grazed one with her teeth. Their underwear was removed as Sara made her way south of his body.
"Ooh God." He gave a guttural moan as her mouth lowered to his waist. She blew against him and he bucked into her as she took him in her mouth. His moans flowed through the air as her movements increased. "Sara, honey, please.come here." He barely got the words out, but she heard and he pulled her to him.
He brushed his lips with hers and pushed her back onto the mattress. His tongue sought entrance and she willingly gave him access. Their tongues duelled as he entered her; she gave a soft aroused groan into his mouth and whimpered slightly as he slowly made love to her. Breaking the kiss to look into her brown eyes as he increased his smooth movements. Her eyes looked into his with desire and love. Leaning in to kiss her sweet soft lips only to break away to trail kisses to her ear. "I love you." He whispered hoarsely as they were both swept over the edge with passion and pleasure.
Taking his time pulling from her, she held his face in her hands, gliding her thumbs over his cheekbones. "I love you too." She said as she pulled him down to kiss him slow and tenderly.
Snuggling against his chest as they faced each other, they fell asleep for the longest time in weeks with no dreams upsetting them.
Night-time closed in around them and Sara woke to pressure on her stomach. She covered his hand with hers and smiled. Opening her eyes to gaze into his bright blues was a wonderful way to wake up to. "Hey." She said throatily, her throat was dry and tickled as she spoke. Grissom reached for the bottle of water on his bedside table and handed it to her. "Thanks honey." She sat up a little and took a few sips before putting it on her side table.
"How you feeling?" He asked brushing his hand over her forehead.
She covered his hand and brought it to her stomach. "A little warm."
Smiling as she slipped back under the covers. "You feeling nauseous again?" He said pulling her to him.
"Not much, just tired." She turned on to her stomach and smiled. "How long have you been awake?"
He dipped his head to capture her lips with his in a sweet kiss. Caressing her face softly he spoke. "An hour."
"And what were you thinking about in such a long period of time?" She leaned against his chest as he lay on his back and put a hand behind his head while the other stoked her lowered back.
"Our family." He said quietly.
Looking down into her eyes when she placed her hand on his chest. "We need to tell the others, I know." She said faintly.
Grissom pulled her on top of him and said seriously. "We can wait Sara. So much has gone on. I know we both have a lot to think about right now, so lets leave everyone out of the loop, just for a few more days a least."
Sara nodded and rests her head in his neck and mumbled. "We'll pay when they find out we've known for weeks."
Chuckling lightly. "It'll be worth it and besides." She lifted her head. "Nick will be here at the weekend. We can tell him."
Sara smiled knowing her best friend would be here soon and that made the waiting more appealing to her. "Ok, but we need to sort this place out, but."
Grissom pulled her to him and sighed sadly. "I know, It's going to be hard." Thinking for a few minutes he thought of a way to get some more support with out telling everyone. "We can ask Catherine to help, that's if you want?"
Sara closed her eyes and nodded weakly. "We'd better get ready for work. We can ask her later."
"Alright." She sat up as Grissom stood. He turned to her and grinned. "You wanna take a shower?" Sara giggled and reached out for his outstretched hand. Raising his left eyebrow and giving his half smiled he said playfully. "You know you want to." Her laughter bubbled into fits as she threw her arms around his neck.
"God I love you." She said as he picked her up and carried her to the bathroom.
Setting her down next to the shower he kissed her hard. Brushing her hair from her face he told her. "I love you so much."
Like the night before, Warrick and Catherine were sat in the break room. Catherine looked up as Grissom walked in. "Hey Gil, you got anything for us?"
Sara strode in after him and headed straight for the fridge. Pulling out a juice she looked at Grissom and nodded towards Catherine.
"Actually yes." He pulled out a slip of paper from his pocket and handed it to Warrick. "Robbery, Catherine will join you in ten minutes. I need to talk to her."
Warrick gave Catherine a worried glance and left with the case slip. "What can I do for you?" She asked.
Grissom stepped closer and wrapped his strong arms around her, pulling her into his warmth. Neither felt the need to cry anymore, they had cried so much, now there were only tears here and there.
