The Best Man: Part three ( Rated NC-17 )

Sara sighed as Grissom's hands roamed her bare back. The bedroom wall was cold on her flesh but she didn't care. She was with him, finally.

His lips and tongue felt like silk on her neck as her finger's tangled into his salt and pepper curls.

She knew his neighbors must have freaked out when they had first arrived at his house. They made it to the door, but when he was trying to unlock it Sara couldn't help herself and made a little scene. But nothing to...explicit.

She quickly rid him of his shirt revealing his smooth muscular chest. For his age he was in amazing shape, she wondered why he hid his body with his baggy clothes. She had always wanted to run kisses over his neck, and now she finally did. He moaned as she did and the moans sent vibrations to her tongue. He tasted salty sweet,and before she knew it he was carrying her down his hallway to the bedroom.

He kicked the door with his foot sending it slamming into the wall. But he didn't care about the wall, all he cared about was showing Sara how he felt about her, and that he wanted her like he wanted no other woman.

She couldn't believe what was happening. For years she had longed for the love of this man, and now she was actually with him. Nothing could ruin this moment.

Sara unbuckled his belt and rid him of his pants, leaving him in his boxers looking pretty impressive. She saw how he blushed and placed her hand on his chin and tilted his head so that his eye's were level with hers. " My, My Dr. Grissom. Someone is happy to see me!" She smiled and giggled when she saw the smile on his face.

It seemed like slow motion as she watched him lick his lips and then slowly lower his mouth to hers in a tender yet passionate kiss. Soon they were both skin or skin, it seemed that he was on fire just by the touch of her bare skin beneath him. He had only dreamed about being this close to her, and now the reality was amazing to him. His heart was pouring out to her.

She had never imagined their first time to be this way. She had always imagined it to be tender, but it was beyond that. This was the most intense love making she had ever participated in, the reality just like Grissom was rocking her world.

Looking into his swirling eye's they reminded her of the ocean during a hurricane, the love and desire was evident in his stare.

She tightened her legs around his waist sending him deeper within her. His moans came from an unknown place deep within him. Her nails scraping over his slick and sweaty back were driving him crazy.

She pulled his lips down to hers again, he sped up the pace of his thrusts causing her to moan into his mouth. In between kisses he said," Never want to let..y.you go." He buried his head in the crook of her neck as they both climaxed together.

The normal silence that usually occupied his room was replaced by sighs and heavy breathing as they lay together wrapped in each others arms.

Sara's head was lying over his heart listening to it come back down to normal. He lightly ran his fingertip's over her bare shoulders. " Sara...this was more than amazing." She smiled and placed a kiss on his chest. " I agree...I never imagined it to be that good. Don't take that the wrong way either, it was heaven."

They both stayed that way, embracing each other until sleep overtook them.

The next morning he awoke feeling cold, when he moved his arm to pull her close to him he felt only the cool sheets of his bed. When he opened his eye's he couldn't believe it, she was gone.

He got dressed and sat in the kitchen. He tried to eat breakfast but he wasn't hungry. His mind wouldn't stop asking questions, he couldn't help but wonder is the previous night was just because of her alcohol consumption or if she had realized after he had fallen asleep that she didn't love him after all.

The drive to work was long and it seemed as if every song on the radio reminded him of her. So he drove in silence.

As he pulled into the parking lot he saw her car and immediately his pulse rose as his heart started beating faster and faster.

He walked into the building and quickly made it to his office and shut the door. It wasn't until after he sat down that he realized how much everything was effecting him.

A knock at the door awoke him from his thoughts. " Come in."

As he watched the door open he hoped that it was her, but actually it was Devin.

" Devin what ca I do for you?" Devin smiled and took a seat in front of Gil's desk.

" Gil I was wondering if you had a date for the wedding?" The sound of wedding made him feel sick.

He shook his head. " No, why?" Devin clasped his hand's together and smiled.

" Good, I would really like to introduce you to someone." Grissom sighed," I don't know Devin I really don't need a date." " Oh, come on her name's Casey, she's a really good friend of mine and I think you two have a lot in common."

Grissom just sat and watched Devin go on and on. " Well, I'll have to meet her first."

" She's stopping to have lunch with Sara and I, why don't you come with us?"

The sound of Sara's name stopped his heart. " Sure, when and where?" After it seemed like an eternity it was lunch time, he was going to see Sara. But he was also going to meet Casey.

As he walked into the diner he spotted Sara and Devin and a very attractive woman sitting at a corner booth. He walked up to the table and Devin quickly stood up.

" Ok, Casey this is Gil Grissom, Grissom this is Casey Haynes." The woman smiled and shook his hand. As they all sat down he couldn't help but look across the table to meet Sara's eye's.

" So Gil what do you like to do in your spare time?" He looked at Casey and said," I don't have much spare time honestly." She smiled and ran her hand over his sending Sara into a silent jealousy. " You have to do something." He put his arm around the back of the booth causing Sara to almost slam her fist on the table in anger. " Well, I like to ride roller coasters, and listen to Pink Floyd."

Casey laughed and said," Oh my gosh I love Pink Floyd I have every album ever made or at least close to it." He smiled and said," No kidding."

At the end of lunch he realized that he might as well give it a try with Casey because it became clear to him that Sara was never going to be his, she would always be Devin's.

As they all stood her paid for his and Casey's and said," Well Casey would you like to be my date for their wedding?" She smiled and nodded. " Absolutely, maybe we can get together sometime tonight and get to know each other a little better?"

He nodded and said," Yeah, I'd like that."

Sara couldn't take it anymore and faked a phone call. " Hello? Really let me ask him hold on." Grissom I need to speak to you outside in private it's confidential information about the Norman Case."

He looked at her awkward and just went along with it. " Ok. Um...Devin Sara and I might be a while why don't you go and head back to the lab I'll drive Sara and I back."

Devin nodded and kissed Sara on the cheek goodbye, and before Grissom could react Casey laid a quick one on him and left him standing there stunned.

As they walked outside to the parking lot to his car she lost it.

" Ok, first of all what the hell are you doing dating Casey?" He turned to her with the look of pure hatred in his eye's. " Your finance set us up, for YOUR wedding!" " Why did you leave like that? I woke up and reached for you and all I found were cold sheets!"

She went to speak and was surprised when he wouldn't let her speak.

" I thought that what we shared last night would change something,but I guess I was wrong. Did you plan on leaving?"

She let her eye's fill with tears and said," No I didn't plan on leaving and what we had last night did change things." He looked at her with nothing but a hurt look in his eye's.

" Sara do you realize how hard it was for me to open my heart up to you, I practically had my heart hanging out and you just ripped it out. You wondered all these years why I never once could act on my feelings for you, and now you see why."

With that being said he jumped in his car and waited for her to get in so they could leave.

Within fifteen minutes they were at the lab,neither one talking to the other.

Sara went to tell him that she knew she was wrong he didn't even stay in the car, the door slammed before she could even open her mouth. She watched him walk with his head down into the lab and just sat there and cried. What had she done? She did love him, and nothing that happened the previous night was real, and meant more to her than he would ever think.

Shift was almost over and he had been in his office for three hours just staring at his spider. So many thoughts and emotions where running through him, emotions he had never felt before and they scared him to death. He couldn't imagine Sara not in his life, in the his arm's, but he knew that what happened between them was a one time deal, and that it would never happed again.

He sighed and was packing up to go home when he heard a knock on his door.

" Come on in." He looked up to see Sara standing in front of him with tear stains running down her face. He couldn't move, he wanted to go and wipe the tears from her eyes and kiss her, but he couldn't.

He put his laptop in its case and began to walk past her and leave when she whispered through her tears," Griss Please." He stopped at the closed door and turned around.

" Sara I can't do this, there isn't anything I can do right now that would fix any of this."

Her tears ran down her red cheeks and the sight made him feel weak. Not being able to take it anymore he walked to her side and pulled her to him in a tight embrace.

She started to shake uncontrollably and he realized how hard she was crying. " Sara I can't help you, you are going to be married in two days. He cares about you, you need to go and be with him." He pulled her off of him and opened the door to leave when she spoke," But I love you, and I need you." He didn't even turn around. " Then I guess that's your problem isn't it?" With those word being said he left.

Once he was in his car he finally let his tears fall. Those were the hardest words he had ever had to say in his life,but he knew that it had to be done. Even if it meant giving up any hope for the life and love he so deeply desired. The drive home was short, but when he walked up to his door he was surprised, what was she doing here he hadn't told her where he lived?

TBC...?...Feedback please!
