Chapter 4: The weekend

Curious as she was, Sara opened the envelop. She hadn't got the slightest clue what she could expect. She took everything out and looked at it carefully.

Her eyes widened. Right in front of her she saw a picture of herself and Grissom, walking hand in hand. Who had such pictures? They even haven't got them themselves. Was this some kind of practical joke from the guys at work? She would know soon enough then.

She turned the picture and saw written in elegant, curly red letters:

"Don't worry; your secret is safe with me… For now!"

Sara decided not to let this photo, this bad joke ruin her day. She went upstairs to pick up some clothes and tossed the envelop with the picture at her desk. There was no need to bother Grissom with this.

Back at his house, Sara smelled the scent of fresh coffee and breakfast. Grissom greeted her by putting his arms around her waist and planting a small kiss in her neck.

She was really looking forward to spend her free weekend with him. They hadn't got any specific plans yet, but that wasn't necessary. Everything happened so spontaneously. She only had to work herself through her last shift.

Sara's plan was to try to get to know more about the picture in a subtle way.

Well, it didn't seem to come from the guys and Sara decided to let the whole thing go and to focus on her weekend with Grissom.

He would take her to his holiday house just outside of Vegas. At noon he would pick her up so they could leave together.

"It's lovely!" Sara looked astonished at the sweet cottage right in front of her. It wasn't anything she could expect from Grissom. His townhouse was straight and rather dull, but this…. It really looked warm and cozy and welcoming.

"It could be a little dusty. I haven't been here for a while." Grissom said sheepishly.

"It's lovely!" Sara repeated.

"Come in, then I'll show you around." Grissom opened the door and let Sara enter before him. In a meanwhile he unloaded the trunk with the luggage.

"I didn't know you had such a good taste, honey," Sara joked.

"That's why I love you so much." He kissed her gently in the neck.

Sara turned around and kissed his lips passionately. Grissom let his hands discover the bare skin under Sara's shirt and answered her kisses willingly.

She unbuttoned his shirt and kissed his neck, while Gil picked her up. She wrapped her legs around his waist and, still kissing, he carried her to the bedroom. In that time, he got already rid of his shirt.

He lay Sara down on the bed and undid her from her shirt. Kisses got hotter and hotter and soon enough there weren't any clothes bothering them in their game of love.

Gil planted kisses in every place of Sara's body. The lower he got, the more moans escaped from her. He played her gently until the moaning seemed to excite him even more. His arousal was getting attracted to her core like some kind of magnet and he thrusted deep in her. First slowly, feeling each others rhythm. Then faster and faster until he felt Sara tighten around him. One deep and hard thrust made them explode together.

They rested for a while in each other's arms.

Later that day…

"I think we need to get some groceries. I haven't got anything left here from food."

"I'll go", Sara said.

"Fine, then I'll clean up a bit so we can cook together."

Sara hopped into the car and drove to nearby grocery store. She picked up everything they would need for the weekend.

Back outside Sara felt a shiver down her spine. She had the feeling that she's been watched or followed. Quickly she took a look around but didn't see anything strange.

"I've probably imagined." She said to herself.

At the cottage, Grissom was making some fresh coffee and cleaning up a bit. By the time Sara arrived everything was clean and smelling fresh.

"I brought us some movies we could watch", she said. "Perhaps we could cook some diner first and then have the movies?".

"Sounds like a good idea to me."

The weekend came and went and before they even realized, it was Monday morning. Next shift would start tonight.

Sara and Grissom packed their things and drove back home. He would drop her off at her apartment. In that way she could refresh herself for work.

"See you tonight my love", Grissom whispered before Sara got out of the car. She felt like melting. She knew how hard it was for him to show his feelings for her and then hearing this… She felt like walking on air.

Drifting inside on her cloud, Sara took the mail out of the mailbox and went upside to her apartment. She emptied her bags, dirty clothes went in the hamper. Then she went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Half an hour later, Sara was ready for work.

Before she left, she still had all the time, Sara went through her mail. Some bills, publicity and a red envelop without stamp or sender.

Sara shivered. Not again!?
