Hello there! I know I have been a very naughty girl and that I haven't updated this story in a long time but I kind of lost all previous motivation that I had. Anyway, it's a new year and that means that I have to sit on my ass and start writing! So here goes nothing.. This chapter is written from the guy's point of view and the song in it is by changing faces and it's called stroke you up. (I know it sounds dodgy but hey) Chapter 4.

Chapter 4 .Stroke you up.

Slowly but firmly he entwines his fingers around the back of my neck and brings me in closer to him and then he kisses me. And then that's when it all goes wrong.

I back away from her suddenly as a pang of conscience hits me right between the eyes. We shouldn't be doing this. We work together for crying out loud. What would Grissom say? She's looking at me hurt now and I'm not surprised.

"What's wrong? Is it me?" She asks. I can see she's panicking she thinks she's done something wrong.

I sigh and let out the breath that I didn't know I'd been holding. "No it's not you, you're great. It's just that........"

"Just what?"

"Just that we work together. If Grissom finds out we are dead meat."

"We won't be. Have you not noticed him and Catherine getting closer lately?" She's moving closer to me slow enough so that if I want to back away I can but my body is just not cooperating with my thought at present.

"No I haven't noticed.." I answer sheepishly. I've kind of been wrapped up in my own thoughts lately.

"Then what's your problem? Look Nick if you're going to say all the macho BS about not being ready for a relationship right now then I think it's better we cut this conversation off here. In fact just go." She motions her hand towards the door. Her eyes look moist and she lets a telltale tear slip from out of her beautiful eyes. Honesty has got to be the best policy.

"I like you a lot Sara. I have done for quite some time now and the last thing I want to do is leave."

"You being serious?" She lets out a small giggle, a welcome but slightly awkward sign from her previous sadness.

"Yes and why are you laughing?"

"No reason."

"Come on I don't like having the joke pinned on me ok?"

"What do you like having pinned on you?" She smiles at me and winks. Good lord she's flirting with me. She's moved up right next to me now and taken hold of me within her slender tanned arms. Man she is gorgeous.

"One minute." She adds to her last very forward comment. She wanders over to the CD player and switches CD. I wait patiently wondering what she's doing slowly dying of curiosity.

~ Come on in and close the door I've got what you're looking for Dim the lights, unplug the phone And turn the radio on. ~

Whatever she has in mind is definitely working. This song is certainly a song to get you in the mood.

~ I've got what you need So put your trust in me

And I won't let you down

So give me your love right now. ~

She's sashaying back over to me and slowly but surely she pushes me back gently on to the sofa. Of course I willingly follow her lead and she seats herself on top of me. Ok this is going to get way too much for a certain part of my anatomy in a minute. She's smiling at me knowing exactly what I'm thinking. She's kissing my neck with angel like innocence but ferociously enough to let me know she wants me, good thing really since I've been practically staging this event in my head with so many different scenarios every day for the past couple of months.

~ That's what I want to do Til it's done I've got a question for you Do you mind if I stroke you up? Do you mind if I stroke you down? All through the night Until your body's tired. ~

Man she knows exactly how to drive me wild. And suddenly that's it she gets off me and takes hold of my hand. Slipping my arms around her waist we climb the stairs together, entwined. We reach the top of her stairs and it's so dark I can't even see Sara in front me, I only know she's there by the sensational feeling of touch that flows like electric between us.

She's guiding me somewhere and I'm betting my bottom dollar I know where. She leaves me standing in the doorway and, my eyes slowly adjusting to the darkness make out a moving silhouette. Then she becomes clearer as she strikes a match and the room fills with an orangey yellow glow. Lighting a few candles on nearby bedside tables she blows the match out seductively and sets down the spent item on its box. Man she's starting to undress. Does she want me to follow suit or what?! Nonetheless I make my way over to the other side of the bed where she stands and as I kiss her gently, hungry for more, I slowly but surely start to undress her. She leans backwards onto the bed and slowly one thing starts leading inevitably to another...........

I wake the next morning in an unfamiliar magnolia room with sunlight streaming in gleefully through the window. Squinting as I adjust to the light I suddenly rediscover the memory of what happened last night in the depths of my mind. Then a thought strikes me. Seeing the vacant spot next to me in the bed I wonder, where's Sara?

Swinging my legs over the side of the bed I push the covers back, I relish the cold feeling of the soft breeze coming through the window flowing over my skin like velvet. Standing up to stretch I realise I'm butt naked and scrimmaging around for my boxers I hear footsteps followed shortly by a little giggle.

"I was getting breakfast," she says as she re-enters the room. "And you were meant to stay in bed!" She adds playfully as she settles down on her half of the bed.

Still scrimmaging for my boxers I suddenly realise she's only wearing my t- shirt and decide that my underwear can wait. Sliding back onto the bed and under the covers I broach the all-important question. "So you don't regret last night then?"

"Would you still be here if I did?" She smirks at me.

"Probably not. You would have kicked my ass out of bed at dawn. So what do we have for breakfast?"

"Well you'll have to wait and see now won't you.?"
