Sara bit on her lip stifling a moan. Nick held an ice cube between his teeth and trailed a path from her neck going through the valley of her chest and down past her stomach. He tossed the ice cube to the side and followed the trail back up with his tongue.

"Ready for the second round?" he whispered to her before taking her mouth for another kiss.

She was more than ready and let him know by kissing him back urgently. She ran a hand across his chest and then grasped his shoulders tightly.

They were at one of the suites of the hotel, a couple of hours after dinner.

Gasping for air, Nick pulled back a bit and nibbled along her jaw line. He slides his hands down her arms and put both of her hands up her head. "We got time, right?"

"No…" It was actually half an hour before shift starts. "I don't mind…" Sara wrapped her legs around him and brought a hand down to lightly grip his hair. First one felt so good that she was willing to give up almost anything for another one. Work could wait.

He stopped nibbling and brought his wrist up to glance at the time. "You sure?" He looked down at her hesitantly.

"Yeah… we're only gonna be a few minutes late." She tugged his neck down and rocked against him gently. "Please, Nick," she purred.

He grinned and slid his hands along her thighs. "Sure, babe…"

ooo

They were an hour and a half late.

Nick and Sara entered Grissom's office hastily and found only Grissom and Warrick in there.

"Nick, Cath and Greg are already in the scene. Sara, you're with me and Warrick." Grissom started to hand Nick his slip when he suddenly stopped. "Where were you?"

"Uh… car trouble."

Sara nodded, grateful that Nick was able to think of an excuse fast enough. "My tire got busted so Nick helped me out."

"You could've called." Grissom frowned down on both of them.

"Yeah, sorry 'bout that." Nick nodded apologetically and then turned to leave. "I'm gonna go now... later," he said to no one in particular and then left.

"Is that what they're calling it nowadays?" Warrick whispered to her as they followed Grissom out of the room.

She flushed and looked back at Warrick wondering how in the world he knew.

He reached over and squeezed her arm lightly. "Don't worry, your secret's safe with me."

Smiling, Sara returned her gaze forward and nodded. She has always considered Warrick as an older brother, one who occasionally gives helpful advice and who usually nudges her in the right direction.

Both of them stopped in their tracks when Grissom turned around abruptly. "Warrick, you go on ahead and wait for us in the car. I need to talk to Sara briefly," Grissom said furrowing his brows a little.

Warrick nodded but hesitated a bit before walking off.

"This must be important, huh?" Sara looked back at Grissom skeptically.

Grissom gently pushed her to the side before speaking up. "About that weekend I told you… are you going?"

She almost forgot about that offer. It seemed like ages ago since that conversation happened, when it's only been like a couple of days. "Oh. I can't, I'm sorry."

"How about dinner later?"

She sighed. "Okay."
