Chapter 10

" Grissom, do you want popcorn or anything while I am up? " Sara asked, while getting herself some celery and carrots from the fridge.

"I think I still have popcorn and root beer in the fridge."

"Root beer? I didn't know you liked root beer...what else don't I know?"

"Grissom, you don't have any strange creatures in here, do you? Something has just crawled up my pant leg, and I am not looking at it...it better not be that SPIDER!" She was shaking all over from the thing on her leg. She was about to cry.

Grissom got up quickly and came to her rescue. It was a daddy longlegs.

"Get it OFF! NOW! I am not kidding! Don't stand there laughing at me, GILBERT GRISSOM! I'm scared!" She had a real spider phobia.

Grissom extended his hand to the spider and got it off her leg. He put the spider outside.

Sara ran from the kitchen and locked herself in the bathroom. She couldn't believe that he had seen her act like that. She felt like a total idiot.

"Sara, honey, it's okay."

"No, it's not ok." Sara was trying to stop her tears. "I made a fool of myself."

Grissom fished the spare key out of his dresser and opened the bathroom door. He sat down on the floor beside Sara. Sara pulled her knees to her chin and looked away. "God, you must think I am silly!"

"I could never call you silly."

"I do!" She laid her head on his lap. "I hate the way they feel when they crawl on you."

"A lot of people are afraid of spiders."

"Yeah. That doesn't make me feel better. You have to do better than that."

"I can't get that feeling off my skin. Make it go away. Touch me. Kiss me."

Grissom gently took Sara in his arms, beginning to kiss her . "You are the most amazing.." he kissed her shoulder... "Beautiful." a kiss to her eyelids..." Intelligent..." a kiss on her knee. "Vibrant woman I have ever known in my life."

"Keep talking, I'm starting to feel better." She smiled playfully.

"I fell in love with you the day first saw you.." Grissom kissed down Sara's stomach.

Sara shivered,. "Don't stop." She began to touch him too. "Let's take this party to the bedroom. Anywhere but the bathroom"

"You're not about to make an old man carry you, are you?"

"Would you prefer I carry you?"

Grissom chuckled as he helped Sara to her feet. "Maybe we should both just walk. " He pressed a soft kiss to her lips.

"You think I can't do it?" She challenged. She bent to show him just how much she could carry him. She managed to carry Grissom to the doorway of the bedroom before they both fell over. Sara landed on top of a chuckling Grissom.

"Not very smooth, am I? Wouldn't make it as a man...I'm to weak." She was laughing so hard she was about to cry. Grissom kissed her.

"You're just right for me."

"Good. Bed! Now! Please?" She added the last part sweetly.

Grissom politely reminded her that he couldn't move while she was still on top of him. "Oh, yeah." She moved and stood. She helped him to his feet and raced for the bed while ripping off her clothes. Grissom followed. He was taking off his clothes, but due to his recent injuries, he wasn't moving at the same rate as Sara was. She beat him to the bed and turned to help him. She tugged at his sweats and pulled the knot loose. She freed him from the confines of his boxers. She touched him and stroked him slowly.

"You sure your up to this?"

"You'll have to steer though," Grissom added softly.

"So now you let me drive!" she teased.

Grissom grinned at her.

"On the bed mister." She straddled him and kissed him hard on the lips. She rocked her hips and felt him enter her. She began to rock steadily. "Touch me." she whispered.

Grissom's right hand went to her breast, caressing it gently.

"You feel so good inside me." She rocked a little faster. She could feel the heat about to explode inside her. She was about to come and couldn't stop it. She let go around him and rocked faster. Trying desperately to make him explode inside her.

He did, crying out her name.

"G...i...l!" She clung to him. She sought his lips and kissed him passionately.

"It's okay, baby," Grissom murmured as he continued pressing kisses to her sweaty forehead, and down her shoulder.

"I didn't mean to make that so quick. I wanted it to last, but couldn't help myself." she climbed off of him and lay down beside him, pulling him to her chest instead of the other way around. "Seems we sort of switched roles."

"Variety can be good." Grissom murmured, continuing to softly kiss her.

"Yeah? So how did you like being the one with no control, Grissom? Did it make you crazy? It always did me before we were you and me. You would take and take and take. I was about to crack you know. I was about to walk. Did you know that?"

"No...I didn't know that." Grissom admitted.

"Walking away and leaving this lab would have been the hardest thing to do, next to leaving you." Sara said. "I had even wrote my resignation letter to you. Tore it up, threw it away. Decided that I would make it here even if it had to be without you."

Grissom didn't know what to say to that. Finally, he whispered, "I'm not going anywhere, Sara. I know I'm not perfect, but I love you."

"I love you too. You are so good to me. So how many weeks you got on the books for vacation?"

"Funny you should mention vacation.." Grissom continued pressing kisses to Sara's hair and shoulders. "I was just looking at some brochures."

"Well, stop. I wanna take you home to meet my mom. She has been on me to come home for years now. What do you say?"

"I'd love to meet your mother," Grissom told her honestly. "And sometime, I really want you to meet mine."

"Lets do that too." Sara kissed his cheek. "I got 10 weeks remember?"

"Actually, I think that's about right for me too."

"No, I am sure you got more than that...you have to..."

Grissom's forehead creased. "No. You're right. It's seventeen."

"See? You can't hide anything from me. You can try, but it won't work."

Grissom looked straight into Sara's chocolate brown eyes. He caressed her face. "I will never keep anything from you, ever again." he promised.

"Ok. Lets talk, Sweet Thing. You like leather or lace, Big Guy?"

"Lace."

"Not from the gossip at the lab. I heard about Lady Heather. You going to tell me she didn't tie you up and make you beg her to let you touch her?"

"Don't lie to me. You promised"

"I'm not lying...I like Lace. I didn't, no. She's not you."

Unsure of what to say next, she turned away from him and pulled the pillow to her. "Grissom, I know you were at her house one night. I followed you because I wanted to talk to you. You sat there an awful long time. I left when you went to the door."

"We did sleep together.. Once.." Grissom sat up and put his arms around her. "But I love you."

"Yeah. But I asked you about her, and you didn't really lie you just avoided. And that is sort of lying, don't you think?"

Grissom knew he wasn't going to get out of this easily.

"I know I came here with baggage, Grissom. I know that I am not easy to deal with. I just wanna know why you would choose her? Is it because she isn't me?"

This was harder than expected. "I will admit, that's what initially attracted me to her, yes. The fact she wasn't you." He half-shrugged. "It turned out to be a mistake, though."

"Really? How so?"

"She doesn't understand me the way that you do."

"But she got you, didn't she? She pegged you all the way down to your core. I know. I went to see her myself. Went to ask her to stay away from you. She hit deep inside me hard, and got me in a way that I couldn't get myself."

"She got me alright...she made me realize that I want you." Grissom laid down again beside Sara. She pushed back into his chest and wrapped his arms around her.

"You're the one I want to be with, Sara," Grissom whispered. "I'll do anything to make you happy."

"I know it." She sighed. "It just seems to good to be true."

Grissom got a coy look on his face. "Would you wear leather for me?"

"Never," She told him honestly. "Unless you wear it for me, but I don't like leather."

"Fair enough." He kissed her forehead, quickly changing the subject. "So, what would you like to do with your time off?"

"Sleep. Have sex. Sleep some more." She teased

"See your mother." He countered.

"Making love to you sounds more fun, but I think we can work that in, don't you? Between well, you know!"

"Teasing you, sweetheart," Grissom murmured softly.

"Not funny." She pretended to pout.

"You're beautiful when you pout." Grissom kissed the tip of Sara's nose.

"Make love to me you idiot. Stop stalling."

Grissom had an expression of mock hurt as he rolled Sara over onto her back and began kissing her neck.

"Now who looks pretty when they pout?" She teased...kissing him on the end of his nose.

Grissom arched an eyebrow as he kissed down between her breasts. They made love all night. They didn't stop, until the sun peeked out over the horizon.
