Chapter 2

Grissom drove toward Sara's apartment. They talked and laughed on the way. It was like they were the best of friends again. Grissom thought they were more like a married couple that was meant to be. He still hadn't told her he loved her yet but he knew he'd get the chance eventually.

"So now that you've got me here what do you want to do?" Sara asked looking at him when they stepped into the living room of her apartment.

Grissom reached over and grabbed her around the waist and kissed her. Sara groaned low in her throat and wrapped her arms around him.

"Grissom," she moaned his name when he started kissing his way down her neck and then back up to her ear.

He waltzed her over to the couch and laid her down. His eyes glittered as he looked at her.

"Sara before we do anything there's something I have to tell you, something I've wanted to tell you for a long time and I just can't hold it in anymore." He sat up and pulled her with him. "I love you Sara. I know I haven't showed it but after all this stuff with Nick I realized how short life is and that any of us could be taken away at anytime." He watched as Sara's eyes filled with tears and she smiled at him.

"Grissom I love you too. I guess in a way I always knew that you loved me back and I kept my heart open all this time just for you and I must say for a while I was disappointed but know I'm the happiest woman in the world. I couldn't think of a better Christmas present than you." Sara's words flowed over him as he sat and looked at her.

"I'm sorry it took me so long to tell you…I just wanted to make sure you felt the same…I know I know you basically spelled it out to me a few years ago when you asked me out to dinner but I was going through a rough time then but know the only thing I want in my life is you." Grissom watched as she lend in and kissed him softly causing a large lump to build in his throat.

Grissom wasn't usually an emotional man but Sara's gentleness aroused the emotions Grissom couldn't hide from her. She pulled away just as the first tears came down his face and disappeared into his beard.

"I love you so much, Sara." Grissom said holding her face between his hands caressing her cheeks lightly.

Sara smiled and said: "I love you too honey." Grissom laughed and kissed her again. This was his heaven, his woman, his life, and his heart and soul. He kissed her till only the need for air separated them.

"Come on lets go some place a little more private." Sara said getting up and offering her hand. Grissom accepted and they walked to Sara's bedroom. When Sara opened the door Grissom drew her up into his arms and carried her to the bed.

He laid her down in the middle of it and kissed her softly and thoroughly. Slowly Sara ran her hands over his back and kissed him back. Grissom groaned when she moved her hands to his chest and down his stomach.

Sara couldn't believe that she was doing this after all this time. She was kissing Gilbert A. Grissom on her bed, in her house, and he was kissing her back. Sara responded to Grissom like she hadn't responded to anyone in a long time, he was hers know, he'd said it himself.

When Grissom reached for the buttons of her shirt Sara inhaled shapely and helped him as he pushed it off her arms. Next he unhooked her bra and kissed his way down her neck to her breastbone. Sara arched her back slightly allowing him better access to her breast. Grissom non-harmoniously took one in his mouth and suckled hard on it.

Sara groaned and fisted her hands in his salt and pepper curls. His hair was soft and damp with sweat. She kissed his crown and leaded back against the large arrangement of pillows on her bed.

His beard tickled her sensitive skin and she groaned as he kissed his way down to her belly.

First times aren't supposed to be good but Grissom was gifted. Sara thought as she jerked his shirt up and over his head. She looked at him in awe when he came above her and she got the full view of his strong arms and chest. He might have been older but he was as good looking as ever.

Sara smiled at him and he continued to play light music with his mouth on her stomach. He learned every inch of her as he moved up and down her body. Sara's hips grinding into his begging him for release but he held back. He wanted to make this good for her, wanted her to know she was his and he hers. He would never be the same again after this.

Sara moaned when he unbuttons and unzipped her paints pulling them and her panties down her legs and throwing them on the floor. Grissom quickly discarded the rest of his clothes and reached in his back pocket.

Sara looked at the foil package in his hand and smiled.

"Help me with this." He demanded pushing it into her hand and smiling down at her.

"It would be my pleasure doctor." She said rolling the condom onto his large swollen shaft.

She gasped when he positioned himself over her. He was so big and Sara was amazed at how powerful he was even when he was on the edge of losing control.

"I love you Sara." He said kissing her.

"I love you to Grissom." She said and he entered her.

He entered her slowly at first to let her get used to his invasion. When he was fully in her he looked at her. She smiled and pulled his head down to hers kissing and touching him. When he couldn't stand it any longer he began to move slowly. Sara matched his every thrust and smiled when she saw his control slipping. He pound into her harder and faster till she screamed his name in release then he sought his own.

He pound into her two more times and then let himself slip. His arms gave out and he feel forward on top of her.

She listened as his breathing returned to normal and his heartbeat slowed to normal. He came above her and kissed her softly rolling off her. She settled into the crock of his neck and sighed.

"I'll never let you go know." Grissom said kissing her sweat dampened forehead.

Sara smiled and said: "I hope not." Then the dark overtook her and she fell into a deep sleep.

Grissom watched her sleep and thanked his lucky stars for her and all she had given him, this was the best Christmas he believed he would ever have.
