After leaving the reception, Catherine went back to her hotel room and called her sister in Vegas to see how Lindsey was doing. She had no sooner hung up the phone than she heard a soft tap at her door. A faint smile spread across her lips as she walked over and slowly opened the door.

Warrick simply raised his eyebrows at her. "Nick and Sara know something's up."

Catherine smiled. "I don't care." She reached out for his arm and pulled him into the room quickly shutting the door.

Immediately they were in the midst of a passionate kiss. Clothing was unceremoniously discarded as they stumbled backwards, almost missing the bed.

"So, Kelly, what was it that you said you do?" Greg inquired of the perky blond.

She giggled as they walked down the beach arm in arm. "I have my own company. It's an online dating service, matchmadeinheaven.com."

Greg's eyebrows shot up. "I've heard of it."

Kelly just shook her head in amusement. "Of course you have. I made over three million dollars last year."

Greg grinned. "Maybe I could get a discount."

Kelly crossed her arms in front of her body and pursed her lips. "I'm not giving you a discount, Greg."

Greg looked sheepish. "Ok, I just thought." He mumbled.

Kelly giggled and pulled him into a deep kiss. She grinned as she pulled away. "Why would I want any other woman to get a look at you. I was planning on keeping you for myself."

Greg grinned and pulled her against him. "How often to do you get to Vegas?"

She wrapped her arms around his neck. "I can work anywhere I want."

Greg leaned down and kissed her, getting lost in the moment.

Grissom was enjoying his solitary stroll on the beach. He had to chuckle silently to himself at Greg's bluntness. It was obvious that the lab tech was quite taken with Sara's friend. As for Warrick and Catherine, he wondered to himself who they thought they were kidding. He wasn't the supervisor of the night shift CSI crew for nothing. He had noticed the looks that had passed between them and their rumpled appearance earlier was a dead giveaway. Still, if they wanted to keep things a secret from everyone, he wasn't going to pry. He let out an audible chuckle as he wondered what they would say if they knew that he knew that right now they were most likely getting much better acquainted with each other sans clothes.

A movement across the sand caught his eye and he froze. Being the brilliant CSI he was, Grissom was always prepared. He pulled a small plastic vial out of his pocket and quickly, but gently grabbed the insect that threatened to scurry away. He pulled out his mini maglight to see what it was that he'd caught and made a startling discovery. Before him was an insect that he'd never seen before, one that he had only heard spoken about in mythological tones.

A smile spread across Grissom's face as he realized he'd just discovered a previously undiscovered insect.

Still smiling, Nick set Sara down and pulled her against him as he kicked the door shut behind him. "I have waited for this moment since the day I met you."

Sara smiled and snaked her arms around his neck. "Worth the wait?" Her eyes locked with his.

"Hell yes." Nick leaned down and captured her lips with his own in passionate kiss.

They slowly moved toward the bedroom in an age old dance.

Much later, they lay tangled in each other's arms.

"You know, I did promise you that I'd model that outfit for you." Sara sounded amused as she rested her chin on Nick's chest looking into his eyes as she lay against him, her fingers lightly trailing down his arm.

"You can model it another time. Once I got you out of that dress, you putting on clothes wasn't exactly what was on my mind." Nick replied with a chuckle, his arm wrapping more tightly around her waist.

"Mine either." Sara giggled. "I only wish I could have seen the look on your face while you were fumbling with all those buttons."

Nick laughed. "Whoever thought it was a good idea to put that many buttons on a wedding dress obviously wasn't a kind person."

Sara tilted her head as a lopsided grin formed on her face. "Well Velcro isn't exactly fashionable for a wedding."

"It may not be, but it sure would have been easier to get you out of that dress if it was fastened with Velcro." Nick reached up and caressed Sara's cheek with his fingers. "I can't believe I got to marry you."

"I can't believe I got to marry you." Sara lifted herself up and leaned over to kiss him. As she pulled away, she looked into his eyes. "Are you tired?"

He shook his head. "Not as long as you're naked and laying on top of me like this."

Sara started to giggle. "I bet you say this to all your wives."

"No, all the others were just mail order. I never even got to meet them." Nick quipped.

"Are you going to lay there all night and crack jokes, or make love to me again?" Sara raised her eyebrow at him with a sultry expression on her face.

Nick gripped her waist, rolling her over onto her back, looking down at her with a grin. "Is this a trick question? I can do more than one thing at a time you know."

Sara giggled. "Shut up and kiss me." She cupped the back of his head and pulled him down to kiss her.

They got lost in each other as they touched and tasted each other finally falling asleep tangled together as the sun slowly began to rise over the ocean.
