Nick walked Sara to her door. As she unlocked it and opened it, she turned around and smiled. "I'm really glad you made me come out with you."

Nick grinned at her as he followed her into the apartment. "I'm glad you didn't slap me after I kissed you."

Sara's eyebrows shot up in surprise, "Why would I have slapped you?"

Nick raised an eyebrow at her, "If I had tried to kiss you a few months ago, Sara, you would have tried to kick my ass."

She chuckled, "Ok, that's probably true, but only because it's such a nice ass."

Nick's face flushed with color and he glanced at the floor for a moment chuckling.

Sara laughed, "Are you blushing?"

Nick grinned at her, "You like my ass, huh?"

Sara blushed.

Nick's eyebrows shot up in amusement, "Now look who's blushing?"

Sara looked him full in the face with an embarrassed grin. "It's a nice ass."

Nick glanced at Sara's butt and smiled as met her gaze again, "Yours is pretty nice too, Sara."

Sara crossed her arms in front of her body. She tried to suppress a grin as her cheeks flushed pink again.

Nick chuckled, "You're cute when you're embarrassed."

"Who said I'm embarrassed?" Sara challenged, her cheeks still flushed pink.

Nick put his hands on her waist and looked down at her, "I'm a CSI, it's my job to observe people. The evidence of your pink cheeks tells me that you're embarrassed."

Sara slid her hands up his chest and fingered his lapel as she glanced up at him, "Hmm, the evidence doesn't lie."

Nick shook his head, "No, it doesn't." He slid his arms around her waist and pulled her against him.

Sara slid her arms around Nick's waist and tipped her head back. "What is the evidence telling you now?"

Nick raised an eyebrow and studied her for a moment. With a grin on his face he leaned his face toward her, "It tells me that I'm going to kiss you."

Sara smiled as Nick's lips met hers. Sara slid her hands down to Nick's butt and squeezed it momentarily.

Nick broke the kiss, both eyebrows raised as he looked at her, "Checking out my ass?"

Sara giggled and began kissing Nick's neck, "Did the evidence tell you that?"

Nick chuckled, "You could say that." His lips found Sara's again and he slid his hands down and cupped her butt, pressing her against him as he squeezed it.

Sara giggled into the kiss as Nick's hands fondled her butt.

After a moment he broke the kiss resting his forehead against hers. "What's so funny?"

"You." She giggled.

"Me?" Nick chuckled.

Sara nodded, "You're checking my ass out like a piece of fruit in the produce aisle."

Nick raised an eyebrow and squeezed her butt again. "No, I'd say it's Grade A 100% prime beef."

Sara raised her eyebrows in mock horror, "The only reason you're getting away with that one, Stokes, is because you're from Texas and you're cute."

"You're pretty cute too." He leaned down and kissed her again.

As they broke the kiss, Sara yawned.

Nick looked at her with a lopsided grin, "Hey, I should probably get going. We both have to work in a few hours and I don't know about you, but I'm tired."

Sara slid her hands up his chest as her arms snaked around his neck, "You could stay here."

Nick looked down at her with both eyebrows raised, "Sara."

She leaned up and kissed him softly. As she broke the kiss she looked into his eyes, "Just sleeping, Nick. I'm not ready either."
