They ate in silence, which was a relief to Grissom, he needed a few minutes to think about what was about to happen. He managed to eat two slices of pizza, but couldn't tell you about even one bite. Eight years of buildup; heartache, love, yearning and desire, and soon they would be together. The expectation was almost overwhelming to Grissom, that is, until he looked at the beautiful woman seated across from him at his breakfast table. What is she thinking about? Can I be enough for her? Will she care about me tomorrow? Who really knows, but I have to give her my all tonight. Let's just hope that is good enough.
Grissom cleared the table of their plates and went back to where Sara was sitting. He walked over to her and lightly took her hand. He gently pulled her to a standing position. He looked deeply into her eyes, "Sara, are you ok with this? I don't want to rush you, but I need to show you how much I care for you."
"Show me what Griss?" She asked in her seductive voice.
He pulled her in for a hug. "Come, follow me."
Grissom stopped at the doorway to his bedroom. He closed his eyes and turned towards Sara.
"I hope any expectations you have about me being your powerful boss is left at this door, because as of now, I'm just a man. A man who hasn't made love to a woman in two years without it being fantasy, and this is real. I've um.. also never made love to a woman I was in love with before."
Grissom looked into Sara's Eyes to sense her reaction. Her face was soft, and the light from the bedroom softened her delicate face even more. She swallowed hard before speaking, while walking them over to the edge of the bed.
"Griss, I hope I don't scare you with what I am about to say, but I need to anyway. I have loved you for as long as I can remember. I can't even remember a time when you weren't in my thoughts, even before we met, and then, you were always the man of my dreams. I love you, I love the way your hair gets all curly when you sweat. I love how you furrow your eyebrows when you are in deep thought. The way you roll up your sleeves when you are getting ready to work drives me insane; I'm embarrassed to say I've had a lot of nice dreams about your forearms. But mostly, when you want, you can be so sweet and caring and that is all I want from you. I know it is hard for you to tell me, so Gil, show me how you feel." She barely finished before Grissom turned and captured her in his arms.
"Sara, let me love you, all of you, now." His lips ravished hers in deep sensual kisses. He kissed her face, down her neck, back up to her ear lobe, and it was slowly driving Sara insane. "Griss, I need you in me now." Her urgency was building and if he didn't' get past kissing her she was going to have to take matters into her own hands.
She reached for his shirt and started unbuttoning it one button at a time. A few months ago their relationship was one day at a time, but now, this next step would bring them to a lifetime. A lifetime of wants and needs all coming together on this day. Grissom's shirt fell on the bed, and Sara pushed it out of the way. His chest was smooth and hard, and as Sara ran her hands over each inch of his chest, Grissom gasped at her touch. The need to feel his skin on hers was great, as she discarded her top joining his on the floor.When Sara removed her top, Grissom leaned back in awe. Before him was what he believed to be the most beautiful sight, Sara, and she was alone with him on his bed. Twenty Seconds. That is how long it took him to remember to breathe again when he saw her sitting before him naked.
Coming to his senses, his manly needs took over, and his kissing that was once sensual, were now full of need and desire. He kissed her and touched her and was making love to each inch of her body. He pulled her shorts off, and all that lay between them was her lacy underwear and his pants, but those quickly got thrown aside like an old rag.
His kisses that were concentrated on her collar bone were now straying down towards her chest, and the sensational feeling of his lips on her body was causing Sara to cry out his name, and that only fueled him further. Once he ignited her chest, he traveled down towards her sweet folds. The anticipation alone pushed Sara closer and closer to her orgasm, but as his lips touched her most sensitive area she was thrown into oblivion. "G r i s s o m, Oh, Don't stop, yes," she cried out. When he felt her relax again, he pulled her in for a hug having the need to be as close to her as possible.Sara started kissing him and wanted to reciprocate the amazing feeling he just gave her. She started kissing his chest, and ran her hand down his sides. He was shuttering at her touch. That is until she touched his most private part, when he almost jumped off the bed. Sara was clearly taken aback, and took his fear for rejection. He saw her confusion and tried to explain.
"Sara, I'm not 15 any longer ," he paused, "that coupled with the fact that it has been an eternity that a woman has actually aroused me to this level, if you had touched me again right now I'd be finished, literally, and tomorrow would be a long wait for us to 'finish' what we started. Just give me a second, ok?" Maggots, Cockroaches, decompositions.... Z Y X W V U T ...I'm ok now.. I won't embarrass myself.
Looking back towards Sara, he met her gaze. They sat that for a moment, each not knowing how to proceed. It was Grissom who reached out. "Sara, you are so beautiful, you know that, don't you?" It came out more as a statement than a question. Their lips met again deeply, passionately, and they joined in unison, and it was everything they hoped it would be. Grissom surprised himself on how long he could hold out, and brought Sara to 2 more orgasms before he let himself go. His whole body shuttered upon his release, and they were both gasping for air at the end.
When their adrenaline finally calmed down, they laid in each other's arms, no need for talking. Grissom was stroking Sara's hair pressing his lips into her hair.
"Sara, I sorry this took so long, I um.. hope you enjoyed it." He closed his eyes not wanting the moment to end."
"Griss, there is nothing better in this world that making love to the man of your dream's, especially since I know now my love is reciprocated." Her words were muffled because her head was pressed against his chest.
He had to make her believe. "It always has been Sara. I just didn't love or trust myself enough to let you know. For that, I am sorry. I'd like nothing more than to forget the past and offer you the future."
"A future with you? Hmm. I'll have to think about it. But I do like the present." She lifted her head again and lay on top of him, trying to rekindle the '15 year old' inside of him.
"You know what they say Sidle, there is nothing like the present"

After a wonderful day of making love, Sara drove home to get ready for work. Stepping into her apartment was almost surreal. So many things had changed in the past 24 hours, hell, in the past year. Walking past her answering machine and caller ID, Sara checked for calls. One call from Nick, one from a telemarketer, and four calls from Molly. She quickly checked the answering machine only to find no messages. She reached down for her cell phone, and was surprised to see it was shut off, no messages either. Wondering if she should call Molly, she decided four calls warrant a call back. She rang the number only to have it ring non stop. Trying to bite back the worry, Sara hoped into the shower and went to work.
Grissom couldn't stop smiling. Why had he held back on these year's. Trying not to worry about the past, he thought of the future. Things at work were going well for Sara, and he didn't want to ruin that. Sara was reporting into Cavallo with her training duties. Maybe he should talk to Robert and be honest. Maybe Sara could report totally into him. His mind was racing now, but it quickly slowed when he reminisced about last night. Snapping his head back to reality, he collected together the assignments, one push in robbery, one trick roll, and one db.
Grissom made his way down to the break-room to hand out the assignments. He walked in and saw the gang was all there. He tried not to make eye contact with Sara, but that didn't help his cheeks flush.
Nick and Warrick were talking about the baseball playoffs, while Sara, Catherine and Greg were talking about a new print lifting machine.
Grissom cleared his throat before speaking. "Warrick & Catherine you have a push in robbery. Before you get all huffy, the home owners are claiming well over a million in cash was stolen."
"Sara, you and Nick have a DB in Henderson. Greg, you are with me, we have a roll call." They were just about to leave when Brass walked in.
The look of concern on his face was evident. "Gil, may I speak to you outside."
The nightshift looked concerned, but went back to getting ready to roll out. It was then when Sara asked Nick the address to their DB. "Nick, where are we heading to, since I'm driving?"
Nick read over the assignment sheet. "118 Magee Avenue, Henderson."
It only took a split second before Sara heard what he said, and when it registered you could hear her scream through the entire building.
Grissom had just finished his chat with Brass. Brass explained to him that Miranda, Molly's mother, had been brutally murdered, although the job that did her in was nothing compared to what appeared to have been happening to her for weeks. The thought of it made Grissom sick, and he turned to punch the wall. "What about Molly? Where is she Jim? Is she de ?" He couldn't even finish what he was asking Jim when they both heard Sara's scream.
Jim and Grissom made their way back into the break-room to see Sara in Nick's arms. Sara was openly weeping and the rest of the crew had no idea what was going on. They turned to Grissom as he walked in and asked for an explanation, but he did not want to speak about it before he had all of the information, so he decided to give them the basics.
"The DB is the mother of the girl Sara has been mentoring. She knew that he was hurting her, but Sara couldn't convince her to press charges. He had already spent years in jail for attempting to kill her in the past." His voice was stoic, but crackling on the inside.
Catherine was the first to speak. "What about Molly? Is she ok?"
Brass cut in. "She wasn't found at the scene, but neither was Rich the scumbag husband. There is a lot of blood, we need to get it tested and see.." His voice trailed off when he saw the look Sara was giving him.
Grissom spoke up again, wanting to get started at the scene, and he wanted to get Sara alone and comfort her properly. "OK, this is the only scene in Vegas tonight," he barked, and turned to Brass. "Call in day shift and give them the rest, I want my CSI's on this case. I don't want any other shift touching it."
"Warrick, Catherine, take Greg and get over there. Collect samples and Greg, get back to this lab ASAP and test them. Catherine, I need you to examine the blood splatter. Jim said there are 2 areas to analyze.
"Nick work with Jim and get an APB issued as well as an Amber Alert. You can get a picture of Molly at the scene." Grissom turned now to face Sara, "Sara, you are with me. I'd like to speak to you for a minute, and then we can head to the scene. We will work the body."
Sara's eyes were cold when she spoke. "NO, I will go with Jim, I know what they look like, and I can give a better description of Molly." She wiped her face and walked to Brass. "Let's go."
Grissom stood confused. Surely Sara needed his comfort right now as much as he needed hers. Brass and Nick saw the looks exchanged between Grissom and Sara, and decided to give them a few minutes to talk.
Once alone, Grissom tried to take Sara into his arms. She stood there ice cold. "Sara," he looked at her. "We will find her, I promise."
"No Grissom, don't touch me, don't make promises to me." Her words were harsh and cut right through him. What is going on?
"When I got home tonight, I saw that Molly called me multiple times. I was with you all day. If I hadn't been, nothing would have happened to her. This is my fault, every time I try and be happy something bad happens. If I wasn't with you, maybe I could have stopped it. If something happened to Molly I'll".. She stopped and pulled back. "Just don't touch me, I don't deserve happiness, I just ruin other people's lives."
Before Grissom could respond, she was out the door. "Jim, let's go, now."
