As the thought of things never being the same entered his mind her tongue entered his mouth again. "Oh... my... yes..." he whispered. He was glad things will not be the same anymore.

His hands slowly traveled from her cheek down her neck to her sides and across her back. Both of their breathing patterns changed to more rapid and out of breath. As his hands started exploring her body, her hands started exploring his. As Sara slowly pulled away she heard a faint whimper escape from his mouth. He looked into her eyes and heard her say, "We should stop." He looked hurt and didn't know what to say. She saw the fear in his eyes and felt horrible. She leaned closer and whispered in his ear, "Just until we get back to the house and then..." then she closed the gap and kissed him with even more passion than before and as she pulled away continued, "we can continue if you still want too."

He slowly stood up and helped Sara up and walked hand in hand with her until they reached the house. As they walked, about every five steps, they would look into each other's eyes and kiss each other's hand. Sara decided to be a little more sensual as she pulled his hand up to kiss it she slowly took one of his fingers into her mouth and all she heard was his gasp. "Sara... oh... my... Sara!" was all he could say as he watched her as her tongue tease the tip of his finger then her lips enclosed tightly around the shaft of the finger. She watched him as she kept her lips snug around his finger going up... down... up... down... up... then kissed the top of the finger and smiled. He looked deep into her eyes and pulled her into a great big hug and whispered, "You keep that up and I won't be able to wait until we get back into the house."

As they walked up the driveway they noticed the truck parked out front. Sara looked a little sad and said, "I guess they had an early night." She couldn't look at his eyes because she was afraid he would be scared and back away again. "Sara..." he whispered "I had a wonderful time with you this evening." Grissom wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her back to his chest. She let out a small gasp of air and replied, "So did I, Gil."

Grissom slowly turned Sara around and began kissing her neck and slowly worked up to her lips then to her ear and whispered, "Honey, I don't want to rush anything that we have. Why don't we take it slow and get to know each other more intimately. She felt Grissom 's excitement poking her in her bottom through their clothes and decided to wiggle her hips a little bit and as she heard a faint moan from his lips she replied, "I agree. I want to learn everything about you Gil Grissom."

They decided to go inside and see what everyone else was up too. "Looks like everyone went to bed" Gil said and they walked in and looked around. "Gris," Sara said as she reached for his hand "can we go to bed? Maybe just lie there and talk a little?" He held her hand tighter and pulled her close to him and said, "Sara I would Love that very much."

As Sara pulled him into the bedroom, a smile slowly appeared on Gil's face and no matter what he does it just won't go away. Gil goes into the bathroom first and gets ready for bed. As he comes out, Sara head in and said, "I will only be a few minutes." He smiled and realized he might be a little warm in bed with his chosen pajamas. So before Sara came out of the bathroom he decided to take off his shirt and climbed into bed with just his pants on.

A few minutes after Sara came out of the bathroom with some really short shorts and a tank top. As Grissom looks at her he begins to smile even bigger than before. Sara walked towards the bed as he did she paused for a minute and started to gently bite her bottom lip. She realized he no longer had a shirt on. The both smiled at the fact that they were making each other excited as well as enjoying the feelings and heat running through their bodies. As Sara climbed into bed and pulled up the covers to her waist and asked, "So what would you like to talk about Gil?" Even though her body ached for his, she didn't want to rush him if he wasn't ready.

Grissom took a deep breath and replied, "Anything you would like Sara. Maybe ask questions about each other or tell stories but if you keep wearing clothes like that I can't guarantee how long I can take it slow." He looked deep into her eyes and smiled she saw the love and compassion in his eyes. As she slowly leaned over close to his face she snaked her tongue out and licked his lips.

He moaned again and grabbed her and pulled her close to him. "Sara, you're driving me crazy!" He leaned in a kissed her on the lips so lovingly and caressingly then got more and more passionate. They both slowly pulled away a little out of breath and leaned their foreheads together. "Sara, can we fall asleep holding each other?" Sighing before her reply, "I would love to fall asleep in your arms Gil."

With that being said they gave each other one last kiss and Sara slid next to Gil on her side and he spooned her as he wrapped his arms around her. "Thank-you Sara for a wonderful evening and I am looking forward to an equally wonderful morning" he whispered into her ear. Their eyes closed and as they slowly drifted off to sleep Sara whispered, "I Love You, Gil Grissom." As quietly as that was said another voice responded, "I Love you too, Sara Sidle." And then the most blissful night sleep they both have ever had encased them.
