Sara shifted in her sleep but was having a hard time moving. In her dreamlike state, she felt a soft, warm breeze on the back of her neck. As she stretched and then relaxed again, she felt an arm tighten around her waist and pull her back into a warm male body. Oh, that feels so good. This has got to be a dream. Sara rested into the embrace, not yet awake, yet not quite asleep anymore. As she lay there, willing herself to stay asleep, soft warm kisses started trailing up her neck toward her jaw. She craned her neck enjoying the sensations they were causing. As she turned her head toward the kisses, she felt a soft, strong pair of lips on hers. She turned her body into the embrace and kissed back. Lips parted, tongues started a slow intricate dance. Sara felt fingers slowly stroking her side, lifting the edge of her shirt, fingers caressing the bare skin. Sara felt weight pushing her back into the couch and her arms with a will of their own, moved to caress the strong muscular back. A hand moved up under her shirt and a thumb caressed the skin just below her ribs. Sara groaned. Oh, this feels so good, this is definitely too good to be a dream. She suddenly felt fully awake. If this isn't a dream then what am I doing? Where am I? Oh, my word! Sara opened her eyes, and broke the kiss breathless.

"Nick?" Sara cringed and blushed.

Nick's eye's flew open. He too had felt like he'd been dreaming. "Sara?!" He blushed with an awareness of what they had been doing.

They stared at each other for a moment their foreheads inches apart, not quite sure what to do, not quite aware of the blushing of the others cheeks, Nick unaware that his hand was still under Sara's shirt, Sara very aware of where Nick's hand was.

Suddenly, the ringing of a cell phone on Sara's belt interrupted. Still intertwined with Nick, Sara reached for her phone, then Nick's cell phone rang at his belt. He reached for it, realizing where his hand had been and blushed.

"Stokes"

"Sidle"

They answered at the same time, Nick still resting on top of Sara.

"Hey, Cath. Yeah, I overslept. I'll be in right away. Yeah, thanks." Sara spoke, not taking her eyes off Nick.

"Warrick, yeah, man. I overslept. Yeah, tell Gris I'm on my way." Nick said, not taking his eyes off Sara.

Nick and Sara ended their calls simultaneously.

Sara, still looking at Nick, spoke first. "We should probably get into the lab."

"Yeah, we should," Nick replied averting his gaze from Sara.

"Hey, Nick?"

"Yeah, Sara?" Nick looked back at Sara.

"It would be a whole lot easier if you could get off me first." Sara smiled feeling a bit flustered.

Nick blushed and tried to extricate himself from Sara, but their legs were tangled and all he succeeded in doing was pulling them both onto the floor into a heap with Sara on top of him.

"Sara?"

"Yeah, Nick?"

"I don't think that worked." He smiled up at her.

"Leave it to a woman to get the job done." She grinned as she finally untangled herself from Nick and stood up. She offered Nick a hand and helped him up.
