Again M for a Reason...

Chapter 20- Release

Alyssa unlocked Nick's door and walked in Laughing. Nick had insisted on him carrying in the bags and all at once and was having trouble seeing where he was going. She began to slowly put the bags on the counter one by one.

"Nick the bags have holes so you could carry them and next time, I'm helping; I'm completely capable of carrying… Where are you going?" She had just taken the last bag from his arms as he was rushing down the hall way.

"I'll back in a second." He called.

Alyssa sighed and began to unpack the groceries. After being in Nick's house for a bit she had learnt where everything had gone and he really had no specific order to place the objects that were confined in the respected space. He should see my apartment, she scoffed and mentally smacked her self not even bothering to finish the thought.

Nick walked back into the kitchen. "What are you doing?" He asked.

"Conducting an experiment, you?" She rolled her eyes and placed the pasta in the cupboard.

"You don't need to, I can-"

She cut him off. "No, I can do it." She said turning to the fridge and putting a few vegetables neatly inside.

"Ok Then I'll start dinner."

"Nick it's not even 5:00."

"So we can watch a movie or something after." He said not facing her. Or something, He thought.

"Ok." She shrugged, finishing up the last of the groceries.

"Do you need help with dinner?" She offered.

"Nope I'll call you when it's ready."

"You mean I can't stay in here?" She asked bemused

Nick shook his head as Alyssa huffed. "Fine," And with that she stormed up.

45 minutes later Alyssa her name being called from the kitchen area. She looked in the mirror and decided to let all her hair hang loose and exited walking to the kitchen area.

Nick stood in the middle of the front room. The lights were dimmed; there was a candle in the middle of the table and a song playing in the back round. Alyssa stopped and listened. She recognized the song, one of her favorites.

"Nick, It- It's…perfect." She smiled and stepped forward.

Nick reached forward, pulling her close and ran his hands up and down her arms, smiling. In turn Alyssa stretched her neck upwards and kissed Nick softly.

"Did you…. Look through my iPod?" She questioned.

Nick smirked and nodded, "I saw the CD in the drug store and picked it up." He said as Rascal Flatts filled the room.

Alyssa smiled as Nick stepped back and pulled a chair out for Alyssa.

She took the offered seat and looked down. "Teriyaki," She smiled

"Vegetarian Teriyaki," He corrected and sat across from her.

Alyssa laughed softly and speared her food. The two ate quietly discussing their friends and various people at LVPD.

"I've never met Hodges, did I?" She asked.

Nick thought for a second. "No I don't think so, but he's… Different." He smiled.

Alyssa smiled. "I Like the lab. For the whole two days I was there, I can't wait to get back." She saw Nick's face fall.

"Not that I don't like being here, with you an all. I can't sit still for to long, that's all." She explained.

Nick half smiled. "I get it." He leaned in and kissed her forehead. "You finished?" He pointed to her plate.

Alyssa looked down at her empty plate. "Yep," She smiled picking up her plate and standing up.

Nick rested his hand on her arm to stop her but she dismissed it. "You cooked Let me tidy." And with that she grabbed his empty plate and walked off.

"What if I wasn't done?" He questioned.

"There wasn't anything on your plate unless you want to eat the porcelain." She said loading the dishes into the dishwasher.

Nick walked in with two empty beer bottles, placed them on the counter and walked into the main room. Alyssa tidied Nick's mess from making dinner and joined him in the main room. She stood in front of him. "Dinner was amazing thank you." She smiled. Nick leaned forward and kissed the brunette tenderly and as he pulled her closer. Alyssa wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed harder against his lips, parting hers as his tongue sought for entry. She felt Nick's hands slowly creep up and under her shirt. Then she heard ringing.

The phone rang.

She heard Nick mumble a few profane words under his breath as he stomped over to the phone and answered it.

"Yea, she's here…You want her to come in…"

Alyssa walked towards Nick's window, looking out across his lawn and bit her nails as she listened to Nick speak softly into the phone. What was she doing with him she hasn't been this close to a man, ever because of her fuck up father. Right there and then she promised her self she won't let her father get in the way of anything anymore. She was 23 not 16 she grew out of it and moved on, it's about time she got past it, completely.

Alyssa felt Nick approach and lean into her ear. "You up for working tonight?" He asked.

"Guess Catherine called Grissom, yea I'll go in."

"He wants you to take it easy." Nick said softly and turned her around.

Alyssa gave him an amused look and laughed softly.

"I'm serious and so is he Lys, don't make him regret it."

"Trust me?" She smirked.

It was Nick's turn to smile as he leaned forward and pulled her to him tightly. Alyssa looked up and caught his lips with hers. Nick slowly pulled her backwards towards the couch not breaking their connection and sat back placing her next to him. He pulled away and ran his hand over her cheek as she nuzzled into it. "You're….amazing and beautiful." He said softly.

Alyssa kissed his lips softly and stood up walking over to the CD player and turned it off, continuing her journey to the table blowing out the candle. Nick stood and walked over to her taking his hand in hers and guided her down the hallway.

"Are you ok with this?" He said pulling her into his room and shutting the door.

"With what Nick? What are we? Dating, sleeping with each other only, I- I need to know Nick." She asked quietly, she needed an answer.

Nick in her eyes. "I'd like to think we sort of established that this morning." He shrugged. "Be with me?"

"You're going to have to be very patient with me, I may fuck up." She whispered.

"Fuck up is ok. I'll be here to help you." He took her other hand in his.

Alyssa nodded and looked up into his eyes. "Then I'm ok with this." She leaned in and kissed him softly.

Nick pulled her hips closer to his and slid his tongue into her mouth dueling with hers. Alyssa pulled away slowly and raised her arms above her head and smirked. Nick licked his lips and released her from her layers and back away as she stood clad in her jeans and pink lace bra.

"I never would have thought you wore lace." He took in a breath and reached for her jean button. Never taking his eyes off hers he released her zipper and pulled them to her ankles and watched her step out of them, "or matching underwear."

Alyssa went to cross her arms in front of her, "no, no… Don't. You look… amazing." Nick breathed pulling her arms out of the way.

Alyssa stepped forward and began to unbutton his shirt with shaky hands. Nick noticed and took her hand in is.

"You sure you want to do this?" He watched as she nodded and took a deep breath, continuing with his buttons.

She finished the last button and pushed the shirt off his shoulders and let it drop behind him. Nick slowly backed her up and watched as she shifted backwards onto his bed and climbed in beside her. He leaned in and kissed her as he laid his hand on her flat stomach. Alyssa brought her hand to his hair and fingered the strands and his hand danced further up her stomach and reached the intrusive material. Slowly, he slid his fingers under the wire and cupped her breast as he heard a gasp escape her which shot all the way down to his groin. Reaching around he unclasped her bra and tossed it where their clothing sit. Turning back to her he saw the bruises that were left from the accident and some scars that looked like they had healed a long time ago. Nick leaned forward and kissed the bruise across her chest, from what he could only guess, was from the seat belt. Alyssa arched her head back as she felt Nick's lips make contact with herskinand felt him kiss every bruise as her eyes began to water. Nick slowly made his way back up and finished just below her eye, then pulled back only to make eye contact with the woman beside him. He brought his hand to her check and caressed it with his thumb, running his thumb down and across her lips. He kissed her softly but kept eye contact. Slowly he slid his hand down the flat plane of her stomach and stopped at the lining of her panties. Upon receiving no hesitation he watched her eyes flutter closed as he slid his first finger into her heat, throwing her head back giving Nick better access to kiss her neck. He felt her moan softly under his lips slipping in a second finger and slowly sliding them in an out, getting her ready for him. He felt her hand wonder down across and down his chest and to his jean buttons.

"You're over dressed," She breathed and tried to releasing the button to his denim cage. He smirked against her neck, pulling his himself from her, only to hear her moan in complaint as he helped her with his clothing. Discarded clothing on the floor Nick removed her panties and threw them by the heap of clothing.

"Better." He said, lips inches from hers,

"Much," She breathed and kissed him sliding her tongue between his lips.

He hovered over her and pulled his face back, looking straight into herdark green orbs, lining himself up, he slowly filled her as she Sucked in a breath, intertwining her legs with his as he let her get used to him. Nick propped him self up with his forearms and clung to her shoulders, thrusting in and out, creating a rhythm that was purely their own. She met his thrusts as her breathing increased, scrapping at his back with her nails. The mixture of pain and pleasure caused Nick to lose all coherent thoughts, allowing his body to take over but careful not to hurt the woman beneath him. He heard her moan a few words he were sure weren't in any dictionary he read and felt her mouth by his ear,

"Harder." She barely breathed. Nick complied as he saw her eyes flutter closed. Not sure how much longer he was going to last he pulled his hand from her shoulders and slid it between them and fingered her clitoris a few times until he felt her walls tighten around him. The sound of her loudly moaning his name caused him to lose him self to a few more thrusts then emptied him self within her grunting and kissing any part of her he could reach.

Nick's head rested in the crook of her neck and collar. The two lay in a heap of sweat and skin, trying even out their breathing. Nick began to roll off Alyssa in fear he was hurting her bruised body but she tightened her grip around him.

"Don't, you feel good." She kissed the top of his sweaty head.

He raised his head and smirked.

"So what did you really go to the drug store for?" She asked roaming her fingers over his hair.

His eyes flew open and he pushed against the mattress. "Condoms," he panicked.

"You went in for condoms?" She said in disbelief. "You planned this." She said pulling out from under him but he shook his head trapping her.

"No, I hoped for it." He shrugged.

She looked up and smiled. "I'm on the pill…. Regulation, Don't worry." She said and leaned up to kiss him.

She looked over at the clock, 9:13.

"Think we have time for a shower?" She asked and wiggled her eyebrows Nick smirked and nodded. "Yea but make it quick, you are working tonight too, remember?"

The two stood up and Nick's eyes flew to her neck. "I suggest a shirt that covers your neck."

Alyssa's hands flew to the red spot. "You gave me a hickey?" She asked surprised as Nick turned to leave the room.

That's when she spots her art work, on the side of his neck. "That's fine I gave you two?" She mumbled.

"What?"

"Nothing, last one there has to wait till the other is finished." She yelled and squealed past him.
