Sara mind swam in confusion as she climbed into her Tahoe. She was so sure that Catherine hadn't witnessed their moment of weakness, in fact if she would have rested her life upon it. Wouldn't Catherine have taken great pleasure in interrogating her further? Surely she wouldn't have let her go so easily? No, Sara mused, allowing a small smile to cross her lips, paranoia, that's all it was.

Driving out of the car park, her heart ached with pent up emotions just waiting to overflow into the man she loved. She missed him so much when they couldn't be together, and knowing he was only a short distance away from her in the lab when she needed him so badly was like sheer torture upon her heart.

She ached for him, needing to feel his arms around her and surround her with his love.

" Girl you have it bad," she muttered to herself as she drove like a mad woman to be able to spend just a few seconds longer with him before the next shift.

Sara's whole body tingled with anticipation, her senses on overload as she pulled up to park down the side of his street, a discreet distance away from his own Tahoe.

Climbing out, she locked the door behind her and made the short walk to his front door, wrapping her knuckles on the hard wood while her stomach fluttered with a thousand impatient butterflies.

Grissom opened the door wide for her to step through, slamming it with his foot as he turned her around, his lips blindly seeking hers.

They melted into each other, everything else forgotten as bags and shoes flew in all different directions. Sara wound her arms around his neck, kissing him with all the longing she had been denied for the last few hours, her body seeking release with his.

Grissom started walking backwards, guiding her with him as their kiss deepened into something bordering on the edge of pure passion.

Pulling her lips from his, Sara gasped for breath, her fingers blindly wrapping themselves around his, as he gently tugged her backwards.

" You not hungry?" she smiled seductively, resisting his gentle pull for a fraction of a second before her stepped forward to lift her into his arms.

" Later," he said softly as his lips found her neck, indicating that food was the last thing on his mind right now.

Sara's senses were on high alert, her body tingling from head to toe as she wrapped her arms around his neck, relishing his kiss with a passionate fire of her own as she sucked his earlobe into her mouth.

He groaned against her throat as they fell backwards onto his bed, their arms still linked together until Sara lifted her body to loom above his, bathing him with her loving gaze. His lips curled into a soft smile, inviting her to join him in another desperate attempt to show each other that they would always be together.

Leaning down, she captured his lips with her own, sealing them together in a kiss that burst through into a passionate frenzy as cloths flowed from their bodies to be discarded onto the floor.

" I missed you," he groaned, the words escaping his lips when she lifted herself up to straddle his thighs.

" I'm here now," she whispered, the words dying on her lips when she took him inside her. Her eyes fluttered closed with the sensations he was causing throughout her body as he slowly took her to higher realms with his gentle movements. Sliding his hands up her thighs, he coaxed her eyes open with his soft strokes, wanting to see the fire in her eyes as he brought her near the edge only to pull her back again.

Sara bent her head to find his lips, her tongue finding his bottom lip only to capture his when he groaned into her mouth. Their kiss deepened with the same frenzy as their bodies, taking them over the edge of passion, splintering their souls together as they moaned into each other's mouths.

Their lips slowly parted, their mouths still creeping back together for tiny kisses as they rode out their passion until the throbbing began to subside and their breathing slowing to somewhere near normal.

Lifting herself up on her elbows, Sara gazed down into his eyes, showering him with every ounce of love she possessed.

" I love you," she whispered, her heart soaring as she once again spoke the words that refused to be silenced.

Grissom's face lit up with her words, as his hands slid up her body to tangle his fingers into her hair. In all of his life he had never felt so consumed with fire for another person. She breathed life into him, creating a simmering flame that erupted into a powerful burst of passion whenever she was near him.

With a gentle tug, he pulled her down to meet her lips with his own, kissing her with so much love she thought she would ignite with the feelings soaring throughout her.

She felt him moving beneath her as he left her warmth, capturing the soft whimper with his lips when he withdrew from her body.

Sara moved to his side, untangling her legs to stretch along side his body, her lips leaving his to trail across his cheek.

" I love you Sara," he croaked, his voice cracking under his intense emotions ", I don't think I can leave you anymore."

" Shh," she smiled as she settled down next to him to lay her head on his chest. Her fingers came up to trace patterns on his chest, lulling him into a loving embrace while she kissed his skin, " you don't have to leave anymore," she whispered, lifting her head so she could gaze up into his eyes " I've brought cloths to leave here, and you now have two drawers to keep some of yours in at my place."

His eyes lit up with adoration, no wonder he loved her so much when she never ceased to amaze him. Leaning down, he planted a kiss into her hair, his arms pulling her tighter to him, " You think of everything," he grinned, moving his arms to wrap her into his warm embrace as they both sank into their peaceful union.

" Mmm, I'm happy," she mumbled sleepily, her eyes refusing to stay open any longer as she settled against him. For a moment he was content to watch her, his heart still reeling from the heavenly light she had brought to his life.

Her soft sighs lulled him into peacefulness, her love wrapping him in a blanket of warmth as he slowly drifted off to sleep beside her.

Some time later something awoke him from his slumber. Cracking open his eyes he turned his head to see Sara curled up beside him, her warm breath brushing against his ear. He moved his hand to stroke her cheek, stopping in his tracks when he heard the noise again. Louder this time and more persistent. Someone was knocking on his door.
