Nick made it to the door in time to hear Lindsey inform her Mom of what she'd witnessed.

"And Uncle Nick and Sara were kissing in the kitchen!" She exclaimed. Catherine stared at Nick who offered a sheepish smile in return.

"Hey Linds why don't you and Hannah go get your bags." Cath grinned as Sara and Hannah walked out of the kitchen.

"Ok Mom. Come on Hannah." Lindsey said walking into the spare room with Hannah closely behind to gather their belongings. Cath smirked at Sara and Nick.

"Listen Cath, I can explain..." Nick began.

"It's about time you two." She cut in.

"Pardon?" Nick questioned unsure if he'd heard correctly. He noticed that Sara also had a confused look on her face.

"I said it's about time. You've been killing us with all the sexual tension since Sara joined us. We were waiting to see how long it would take for the two of you to admit your feelings for one another." She grinned taking in the shocked expressions the pair had on their faces.

"We um..." Nick tried to respond. "I guess we're just a little slow." He finished lamely.

"No need to try and explain it Nick. It 's about time that's all I have to say on the matter."

"So how was shift tonight?" Sara questioned as she realised that up until this moment she hadn't thought about work at all.

"Long and tedious." Cath replied noting that the two girls had emerged with their backpacks on. "You two ready to go?"

"Yeah." Lindsey replied. "Thank yo for taking us to the movies Sara and Uncle Nick." She added giving Sara a hug and then giving Nick one.

"It was our pleasure." Nick grinned as he received a hug from Hannah who looked especially chuffed to be getting a hug.

"See you at shift tonight Cath." Sara grinned waving goodbye.

"Have fun you two." She said wiggling her eyebrows suggestively. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do."

"That leaves us a lot of things to do." Nick replied cheekily a smirk on his face.

"Hit him for me Sara." She called before she got in her car. Nick shut the door and turned to face Sara with a grin on his face.

"So now there are no interruptions in the forms of ten year old girls...." He trailed off looking at her with a glint in his eye.

"What are you trying to imply Mr Stokes?" She questioned.

"Well I was trying to subtly hint that we could make out now without interruptions." He grinned as the corners of her mouth began to curve upwards.

"I don't know – I should probably head home and get a bit more sleep so I'm not too tired for shift." She said faking a yawn.

"Funny." He said deadpanned. "Pity I'm standing in front of the door and there's no way in hell I'm letting you leave."

"I really do need to go home and get a bit of sleep." He stared at her not believing what she was saying.

"You can sleep here." He offered.

"We both know if I'm going to stay here then sleeping will be right down the bottom of things we'd do."

"I like your bottom." He grinned stepping closer to her.

"And I like yours." She grinned. "But we both need sleep."

"We just woke up." He countered.

"But we didn't get much sleep."

"I'm awake and I happen to know of something that will help you wake up." He smirked closing the remaining distance between them and capturing her soft lips with his own. She gasped in surprise at this, which allowed Nick's tongue the entrance it desired. Sara lost all rational thought; the only remaining thoughts were of how badly she wanted Nick at that moment. The frenzied removal of clothing followed leaving a trail as they made their way down the hall to Nick's room. Any lingering rational thoughts other than how good one another's body felt left as they fell onto the bed beginning a more thorough exploration of the new development between them.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

A few hours later and Sara began to wake. Taking not of the very naked Texan beside her and her similar state of dress, or undress. She grinned at the memory of his loving touch. As she watched him she noted his eyes flutter open sleepily and his arm tighten around her waist.

"Hey." She grinned.

"Hey sexy." He replied pulling her into a lazy kiss. When they broke apart Sara had an intriguing grin on her face.

"What?" Nick questioned staring at her face.

"I just remembered what I was going to tell you when I came over yesterday afternoon but got a little distracted by your uh desirable body." She finished.

"Nice to know I can make you forget things." He winked. "So what was it your were going to tell me?" Nick queried his interests peaked.

"My Aunt lives in Australia about ten minutes from Steve's zoo." She grinned.

"Oh we are so going to visit." Nick replied rolling them over so he was pinning Sara to the bed. "I can show off my skills." He grinned before leaning down to kiss her once more.
