Section 9

-"Stop talking." He murmured against her lips.-

Pushing back slightly from his lips, she stared into his eyes. "Do you really want to go there?" She asked quietly.

Grissom sighed and closed his eyes, turning his head a little. "I told you how I feel, Sara."

"No, you gave me a metaphor, not even that." Waiting a pregnant second, she broke out into a smile. "You'll stay?"

Looking up at her, his hands slipped under her shirt. "I love you." He breathed, watching her smile faded. "I mean it."

"I know." She closed her eyes and lowered herself onto him, wrapped her arms around his shoulder. "I've loved you for so long."

"I know." Grissom sighed, pulling her tight against him, relaxing into each other's embrace as they lay on the floor of Sara's bedroom.

*^*^*^*

A few minutes later as silence descended on them and only the sounds of the TV in the other room could be heard. Grissom's hands were rubbing the soft skin beneath Sara's shirt in a gentle soothing manner, while Sara's body soaked in his heat and resisted the urge to move as she was spread out across the lenth of his body from head to toe.

Giving in at the same time, they kissed. The moment electrified by the amount of contact they were currently in and the fact that in the back of their minds, they knew how each other felt.

Grissom's whole body was on alert as he quickly turned them, pushing Sara into the ground beneath them. His weight pressed down on her as they passionately kissed. Shirts and pants came off in a flurry as their kisses hardened and their movement's increased.

"Griss?" Sara moaned, pushing him up. "The bed."

He pulled her with him and scooped her up into his arms before delivering her swiftly to her bed. "More comfortable, I agree." He gasped, covering her body with his the instant she made contact with the mattress.

*^*^*^*

Curtis's head snapped up at the sound of a bang and grinned. He turned the TV off and grabbed his coat. They wouldn't miss him for a few hours while he went to the bar with a few friends. Probably won't even notice he's gone.

*^*^*^*

"Sorry." He chuckled into her open mouth, kissing her quickly, before reaching for the overturned lap.

Pulling his body against hers, she met him half way. Their bodies collided with each other gently as they stared into each other's eyes and shared brief but intense kisses. Hands caressed and explored as new heights were reached. The entire knowledge of being in love, for certain, threw in a large dose of passion into the mix of sweat and strength.

Her hands grasped his back, holding him tightly as she flexed her hips, digging her heels into his calves. Gasping for breath as her mouth was released from his, she wrapped her arms around him as he buried his head into her shoulder. She felt his lips on her neck, sucking wildly as he increased all momentum.

He held her shoulders briefly, before grabbing the sheet's and levering himself up to catch her eyes with his. He smiled tiredly and leaned down to kiss her cheek. Moving to her ear, he whispered with all the emotion he felt. "I love you."

Pressing her face against his as she stiffened beneath him, she called his name in a breathless gasp. Her nails scrapped lightly across his back, slipping from the sweat.

Slowing down to nothing but breathing heavily against skin, he placed a series of kisses of her shoulder, neck and face as he moved again, but more to separate them and pull her against him in a tired heap of sweaty bodies.

*^*^*^*

Hours of sleep flashed by and soon the sun was coming up again. It was only the second day Grissom had been in San Francisco and he needed to get Sara to go home with him. He couldn't go back to Vegas without her, it wasn't an option.

"Have you thought about coming back with me?" He asked her suddenly as he stepped out of the shower to find her standing and brushing her teeth.

Sara nodded and rinsed her mouth out. "I'm still not sure about Catherine."

Grissom sighed and tied a knot in the towel around his waist before wrapping his arms around her from behind. "I need you with me."

"I know." She leaned against him, dropping her head back onto his shoulder, leaving him plenty of flesh to taste. "I suppose I should talk to Catherine and find out what her problem is."

"Yeah." He murmured, running his tongue across her collarbone. "I can stay another day, if you want or I can go back tonight." His seriousness devoured any mingling of playfulness as he turned her and looked into her eyes.

Sara shook her head and hugged him. "I don't need more time to think. I just need time to sort things out. I didn't make any plans on my apartment or my things, but what about my job?"

Grissom nodded and mulled this over briefly. He released her and brushed his teeth. As he was getting dressed, he watched her. "You forgot about me not giving in your resignation, didn't you?"

She looked at him with a frown. "Couldn't that get you into trouble?"

"Not really. I didn't tell anyone. Catherine's the only one who knows and she's unlikely to say anything after our last encounter." He shrugged as he pulled a t-shirt over his head. "You're on vacation as far as the lab is concerned."

"And you?" She asked.

"I'm on emergency leave, to be back by tomorrow." He sat on the bed and pulled on his shoes. "So, you coming with me tonight or are we going tomorrow?"

Sara sat down beside him and brushed her hair in thought. "I'll have to talk to Curt and get my stuff collected up, but I don't see why we can't go back tonight."

Grissom smiled. "That's settled then." Before she could put her brush down, he pulled her against him and kissed her. "Don't worry about us." He whispered, gazing into her eyes, kissing her again. "We'll work through anything that comes in our way."

"I'm glad you're the one with all the know how and who what all of a sudden, because I was being to think I had no clue what to do when it involved you." Sara sighed, settling against him.

"Well," He started. "That's not entirely true."

Tilting her head up, she raised her eyebrows. "Oh, come on. You were practically hiding from me from just asking you out."

"That's not even going to cross my mind anymore." He promised, kissing her cheek.
