Okay, here's another chapter.

Disclaimers: Inchapter 1. as usual.

Chp. 7.

When the boys, along with Al, all crowded around Sara, wanting to offer hugs, I manage to pull Catherine and Jim over in a quiet corner, without Sara noticing anything. I need to enlist some help in finding Gareth, since I doubt that I can find him all by myself. Who knew where in the world he was, right now?

"So, what's up Gil?" Asked the always-perceptive one of us all. Cath is scary that way, since she knows me so well, that she can see something is up, only because of by my facial expressions.

"I need both of your help on a matter." I answer her. "I need help to find Sara's brother, and I doubt that I can do that on my own." I go on. "I have gotten a small amount of information out of Sara about Gareth, so that should be a start. She has tried to find him herself though, but without the useful CSI resources, she has failed to come even close." I look at Jim and Catherine after turn. "I want to surprise her, because she has told me that she really miss him, and needs him the most right now no less. So I hope that I can count on you, for any help to find him?"

"I'm in." Jim says and smiles at me. "Anything for that girl over there." I know that Jim looks at Sara like a daughter, and will do anything for her, so I'm not surprised about his willingness to help.

"You really love her, don't you?" Catherine asks me after looking me over carefully. There's a sense of wonder and amazement in her eyes.

"Yes." I say quietly as my eyes roam over Sara, just as she's in the middle of hugging Al. Keeping my eye on her I add. "I have never in my life felt this way about any other woman. How I feel about Sara, takes my breath away, and she's the absolute love of my life." I say without a second thought, and those admissions take me by surprise, once they catch up with my brain. I never use to utter such things in public. Not even in front of Cath and Jim, even if they are my closest friends. I feel myself flush but I just ignore it. I can see that my frank admissions have caught Cath and Jim off guard, due to their stunned facial expressions.

"I'll do anything to help you out." Cath says once she has shaken herself out of her stupor. She hugs me, looks me into my eyes and says, "I can see how happy you are, and I can't even express to you how happy I am. For the both of you."

When she has released me, Jim shakes my hand and has this certain look in his eyes. One that I can't miss, which clearly says, "If you ever hurt that girl, you'll have me to answer to." I nod in affirmation.

"Gil?" I hear Sara call from where she's sitting. "What are you doing over there?"

"Nothing." I lie. "Simply just a chat about work." It's a white lie out of desperation, since she doesn't have to know what I'm, or rather we, is plotting to do. I send her one of my dazzling smiles; in the hope of that she won't pursue the matter further. And she doesn't, to my great relief, since she only smiles back.

Before long everyone has to leave. Jim and Al will be heading home to bed, while Cath, Nicky and Warrick will be heading to CSI, to start their shift. Before we, Sara and I, sends them on their way, they all promise not to tell Ecklie about our relationship, saying that they don't want to give "the bastard" the satisfaction of knowing. I hear Sara and Cath pencil in some time for some much overdue and much needed "girl talk". I can't help but gulp, when I think of where that can lead. But on the other hand, I figure that they need to talk, so I give my worries a rest. After closing the front door behind our friends, we're laying naked in my bed, in the space of only 30 minutes.

"That went rather well Honey. Don't you think?" I asks Sara, who is now propped up on her chin on my chest, so we can have an amount of eye contact. Her right leg is sandwiched between mine, so she lays half on top of me. My left hand is entangling her silky brown strands and my right hand is lazily caressing her naked back.

"Yes it did." She agrees with me. Her right arm is slung over my chest and she's brushing my beard softly. The other hand is used to support her head.

She removes her hand from my beard, and starts to run lazy circles on my chest. I watch her fingers progress down my chest, to make a few rounds around my nipple and then on it's path to my navel. She gives it a gentle kiss before she comes up and kisses me lovingly on my lips. As I wrap both my arms around her naked form, she crawls fully on top of me, so we're now in full body contact. A good deal of making out happens, getting more and more aroused. I flip her over on her back and she moans softly as I place my hand between her legs. Playing a little with her, and she moans of pleasure. I have to close my eyes tightly, as she wraps her delicate hand around me, so I don't let go already there. She can drive me crazy; sometimes; just by the way she touches me while we're having sex. No I will not call it sex, since it's way below Sara's standard, so I will call it making love. No woman has made me feel that way, only by the mere act of making love. I suppose that is because I'm finally with my destined soul mate, the one that I have loved for close to fourteen years. Every move, while making love to this woman is special, and as I finally slide my length inside of her, I have to really struggle to not let go, too early, once again. As we begin to move together, in perfect sync, I can't help but marvel about the woman, who's now sitting on top of me, with a hand on each side of my head to steady herself.

She's so beautiful. Her hair, which is hanging loosely around her head, tickles my face lightly and she has a look of pure bliss on her face, as our eyes are locked together. Moaning is filling my bedroom, as we're riding the path to our climaxes. I feel a familiar tightening of a coming orgasm, and I can tell that Sara is nowhere near yet, and I want her to come with me. I remove my right hand from her hip, and with one firm pressure on her swollen taut nub at her very center, I feel her shake. She comes only seconds later, and I'm right behind her. Sara collapses on top of me, and I resume to just hold her tight, as our chests rise and fall in tandem When we have both cached our breaths, I kiss her lovingly, and after Sara have slide off to a side me a bit, we drift off to an exhausted sleep and still wrapped around each other.

Just a little somewhat "filler" chapter, so I could get a closure oneverything fromchapter 6. The fun begins in chapter 8, which will be written in, I believe, a short while.
