Chapter Eight
Her eyes followed her hands as they came up to unbutton his shirt.
He shrugged his jacket off, sending it sailing to the floor.
Seconds later, his shirt joined it.
His eyes closed as she leaned into him and kissed his chest tenderly.
He reached around her and unclasped her bra.
She felt the silk slip from her body and his hands replace the cups.
She moaned and raised her head to unit their lips.
His hands travelled over her body.
He pulled from the kiss and dropped to his knees.
He kissed her stomach as his fingers unbuttoned her pants and slid them down her legs.
She stepped out of them and pulled his body up.
Her hands finished what she started on his pants.
She stepped back to the bed and held out her hand.
He closed the distance quickly and pulled her roughly to his chest.
She giggled as he shivered, her fingertips gliding over his sides.
Her giggling seized when he pulled her tongue into his mouth and started sucking on it.
She moaned as his hands roamed everywhere.
He groaned as she ground against him.
Pulling back, she took him with her as she fell onto the bed.
His body covered hers, his mouth devouring hers.
Gasping for air, she lightly kissed his lips.
His eyes locked with hers as he slowly entered her.
She gazed into his eyes as he stopped.
Pausing to savour their connection.
They'd missed each other so much and longed for each other for what seemed like forever.
He lowered himself onto her and kissed her with all the passion he felt.
The slow and tenderness of the kiss made her heart skip as his lips gently caressed hers and his tongue tasted her with a softness she'd missed.
He pushed himself up onto his arms and began his slow thrusts.
Her eyes slipped closed as he slowly pushed into her body and out again.
Repeating his actions and watching her reaction.
She moaned as she wrapped her legs tighter around his hips and pulled him deeper and harder into her body.
His mouth was trailing over her body.
He groaned and she cried out as the vibrations swept through her breast and through her entire body.
His teeth clamped over the nipple as he pulled her right leg up.
She looked at him as he pushed himself up slightly and pulled her body towards him.
He turned his head and kissed her calf as he thrust into her with one long hard thrust and then another one as he kissed her knee and moved to her stomach.
He worshiped her body and brought them both to a higher state of bliss as he slowed his strokes and lowered his body onto her.
His hand touched her face while his other pushed under her.
She closed her eyes as waves of pleasure coursed through her.
His lips pressed against hers lightly as his hips continued to rock at the slow pace.
Building up the tension was agonising, but so incredibly wonderful at the same time.
Hers eyes opened as she felt him tense slightly.
They watched as their eyes glazed over.
Her hands were holding him to her, gliding over his back and squeezing his ass, eliciting a throaty groan from him.
She smiled and kissed him softly as they both moved their hips against each other with a little more pressure than before and found both moaning constantly as their insides tingled.
Crying out loudly, she pulled his mouth to hers again and drowned their moans and groans of ecstasy in a deep breathtaking kiss.
They held each other in the same position for an eternity.
Him still filling her as he went limp.
Her legs hung loosely around his hips.
Their mouths still engaged.
Their hands still softly caressing each other
Finally he pulled from her and wrapped his arms around her body as they drank in the afterglow of their lovemaking and storing it with all the other times.
Soon after nestling together, they found sleep in the warmth of each others arms.

Daytime came and went.
Shadows moved around the room slowly as the hours went by.
The sun spreading a soft glow across the lower half of the large bed.
Warming the feet of the occupants.
His body was pressed against hers as they lay on their sides.
Her back pushed back into his chest.
His arm possessively around her waist.
Her hands covering his.
His breath on her neck.
Their legs tangled together.
The sight was of two lovers holding each other after a morning of showing each other just how much they loved each other.
** ** ** **
Grissom kissed her neck and pulled away from her body.
He stood and slipped on his boxers.
Turning back to the bed, he watched as she slept soundly.
His stomach rumbled.
He leaned over her and kissed her cheek lightly.
Making his way down the stairs to the kitchen, he turned on the coffee maker and looked around the cupboards for something to eat.
Surprised to see chicken soup in the cupboard, he chuckled and shook his head.
He collected the ingredients he needed and turned the stove on.
** ** ** **
Sara stirred at the smell of something sweet.
She stretched out and yawned herself awake.
Opening her eyes, she looked around the room an noticed the bedroom door open.
She sat up and smiled. "Hey."
Grissom grinned. "Hi. You sleep ok?"
He always asks that. He thinks he snores, but he doesn't. Well, she hasn't noticed.
"I slept great." She eyed the tray he was holding as he sat on the bed beside her. "Mmm. what you got?"
Setting the tray down on her lap, he picked up the fork and speared some food. He held it up to her mouth and watched as she opened her mouth and her lips closed over the food.
"Like?" He asked softly, leaning over to kiss her sweet lips.
Sara giggled. "Blueberry pancakes. Yummy." She kissed him again.
** ** ** **
After eating, they showered together.
Pulling on clean clothes, Sara sat on the bed and watched as Grissom opened his bag and found fresh clothing to wear.
Spying the suit that now lay folded on the chair, she frowned.
"Gil?"
He turned with a smile. "Yeah?"
She looked up at him. "Why were you wearing a suit?"
His smile grew wider and moved to sit beside her.
"Well." He started. "I had this bright idea a few weeks ago, an idea given to me by this beautiful woman."
Sara grinned and raised her eyebrows. "Anyone I know?" She teased.
Grissom chuckled and kissed her lightly. "You might have met her." He continued the teasing.
She smiled and leaned into him.
His arms wrapped around her.
"I gave you an idea huh?"
He nodded and dropped a kiss on her head.
"I'm supervisor for the Las Vegas Crime Lab." He began explaining. "And you're now supervisor for the San Francisco Crime Lab."
Sara gave a small following his train of thought sound as she played with his hands.
"Something occurred to me about rules."
"Boss, subordinate?" She asked.
He sighed. "Yes." Wrapping his arms around her waist, he placed a soft kiss on her neck. "But that's not anymore."
Sara turned her head and looked up at him with a serious expression. "Now I don't work for you, it's no longer a boss subordinate relationship."
Grissom looked into her eyes and smiled slightly. "Now we are of the same rank and there are no rules keeping us apart."
His explanation was understood, but there was still one problem.
Looking down at her fingers intertwined with his, she sighed sadly.
"But now we're miles apart and I've ruined any chance for us being together by moving out here."
His eyes dropped to her head and his arms let her go as he moved onto the bed more and faced her.
He shook his head when she briefly looked up.
"You haven't ruined anything." He stressed.
She needed to believe that.
She had too.
He reached out and grasped one hand as the other pushed her chin up.
"Sara, honey. I don't think this relationship is ruined."
She took his hand from her chin and held it tightly as she interrupted him. "It's a long way Gil and you and I both know that we can't just drop things and fly out to see each other."
Grissom smiled at her and watched as she narrowed her eyes at him.
"What?" She asked curiously. "Why are you smiling?"
He shrugged and leaned forward slightly, in a more hush hush gesture.
"Did you know that your forma boss owes me one?" He whispered with a huge grin.
Sara still didn't understand. "Gil, I'm confused as to what that's got to do with our problems."
Grissom pursed his lips and shifted closer to her.
She sat cross legged in front of him.
He pushed himself up onto his knees and sat on his legs.
His hands were still gripping hers.
He took a deep breath.
"I'm. I'm required to travel to and from San Francisco every two weeks for two weeks at a time to be the resistant entomologist for your department.." He watched as she listened carefully to every word.
"But." She began, he silenced her with his fingers on her lips.
He smiled reassuringly. "I don't want to give up my job in Vegas and I know you did this." He gestured to the room and everything outside it. "To make sure I keep my job and I'm grateful, but I'm not willing to give you up with that."
She sighed and shook her head. "Gil, please."
"I'm trying to tell you that I'm not giving up anything, but gaining a whole lot more."
Her eyes followed her hands as they came up to unbutton his shirt.
He shrugged his jacket off, sending it sailing to the floor.
Seconds later, his shirt joined it.
His eyes closed as she leaned into him and kissed his chest tenderly.
He reached around her and unclasped her bra.
