The bell rang!

"Oh, hey Alexx, I didn't realize the time. How about some coffee, I have a pot up."

"Sounds good, thanks Calleigh. So, how's our patient today, anymore fevers?"

"Well he's sound asleep still and earlier his temp was 99.0, so he's doing better. I really think The Tylenol and cool baths worked."

Horatio's eyes shot wide open, thinking to himself. Cool baths,... last night,... fever?

It was a dream, wasn't it? He thought to himself now in shock, not knowing.

He folded the blanket over, off his chest and lowered it down to his waist. He was beginning to feel hot and his hand felt something, a lump. He moved his hand under the blanket to where the lump was and pulled it out.

"Got ya" He thought, and gasped when he looked down into his hand. His eyes went wide with shock, his mouth opened. His brain was processing...

It was a PINK... LACED... THONG!...

A RIPPED THONG...

It was...

SHIT!...

CALLEIGH'S THONG!

His mouth remained open and he looked at them, holding them up with his thumb and index finger. Both strings were hanging loosely, ripped. Flashes of last night stormed his mind and he realized,.. it was real. His breath caught in shock and he coughed.

"Horatio?" Calleigh called out to him and Alexx followed her into the bedroom, they heard him.

Horatio eyes wide, he was in a panic now and quickly shoved the underwear back under the blanket, under his leg.

"Good morning." Alexx and Calleigh greeted him.

"Morn..ing." His voice ruff, he tried clearing his throat. Trying not to stare at Calleigh, he was still in shock.

"How you feeling today? Fevers almost gone, we were worried sick about you. Thought you were going back to the hospital last night. Alexx said.

"Umm..?"

"You don't remember?" Calleigh asked, intently now, and Horatio caught it. He saw her eyes go wide as she asked, nervously. He could tell she was very nervous, Indeed.

"Let me check your chest and ribs honey." Alexx said, as she unbuttoned his shirt. Alexx softly palpated his chest and he groaned.

"That hurts you? The pain meds should be helping that, I told you to be careful when you sit up, you could re injure your ribs again."

"I'm fine Alexx, just a little...sore." He smiled to her and looked over to Calleigh, who was licking her lips, while her eyes roamed over his aching chest. Horatio quickly looked away from Calleigh and back to Alexx now, trying his best, not to think of those lips.

"Calleigh, hand me that thermometer, he feels kind of warm to me.. Calleigh?... Calleigh!"

"Oh, Um, Sure Alexx, here you go." She said and looked away now, embarrassed. Alexx saw her drooling...checking him out.

"100.1 - Well, when was the last time you gave him Tylenol, Calleigh?"

"Umm, last night. But after his fever broke I thought he was ok and I didn't want to wake him again after... After... He'd finally feel asleep again." She said, as her hand came up to her forehead and her fingers raked through her hair, her eyes looking down nervously.

Horatio laid there and watched Calleigh fumble with her words. He was trying not to smile or look at her for the moment.

"I thought you said you took his temperature this morning and it was 99.0?"

"Oh, yeah, right... I did, but I didn't want to wake him...yet..." Horatio cut her off.

"Mmm, coffee. Sure smells good." He raised his eyebrows to her and she quickly smiled at him. He saved her from the rest of Alexx's interrogation.

"Oh, the coffee, I almost forgot. Be right back."

"Want to hand me that bottle of Tylenol before you go? Alexx asked with a smirk now.

Calleigh handed the Tylenol to Alexx and turned and walked out of the bedroom, in a daze.

"What is wrong with that girl today Horatio? Alexx said, shaking her head. "Here take these, they should definitely do the trick." She handed him two pills and a small glass of water.

"So how are you feeling, really, Horatio?"

"I'm fine Alexx, really."

"Is she fine?"

"Yes, she's fine, probably, just very tired from taking care of me." He sat up more and groaned now.

"Ok, if you say so. Ribs are a problem huh? Here let me see, maybe we can help you with an ace bandaged too. And she pulled the covers down a bit off Horatio.

"Alexx, I'm fine, I don't need to bandage the ribs too, the tape is fine."

Alexx was examining his ribs again and something pink caught her eye, it was sticking out from under his leg. Suddenly she realized what it was, lace,... pink. She lifted her head and looked at him now, annoyed.

"I thought we told you to rest, that's why Joe let you out of the hospital early!" She glared at him.

Horatio looked at her with question in his eyes now, blinking a few times. "I am resting... Alexx, what..." She cut him off.

"Horatio Caine!"

She scolded now and quickly pulled the pink underwear from under him. He realized too late and made a grab for them forgetting his ribs. He groaned in pain now and his head went back on the pillow. Alexx just smirked at him and held them up for him to see. He reached up for them and she pulled them away.

"This is what you call resting?"

"Wait, Wait, No,... it wasn't planned... It just, I had a high fever and I..." She put her hand up to him, stopping him mid sentence. She could see he was serious and worried that Calleigh would hear.

"Hey Alexx, you take one sugar or two?" Calleigh called from the kitchen now.

"Two Cal, thanks."

"If it happens again you may land yourself back in the hospital Horatio, I'd like to see you explain that! Alexx whispered and chuckled putting one hand on her hip looking at him now.

Calleigh was coming and Horatio grabbed the underwear from Alexx and shoved them under the blanket again. Alexx just looked at him in shock. He lifted the blanket to his waists again and sat up more.

"Coffee" Calleigh announced, smiling.

"Mmm, smells wonderful. Horatio said.

"Here you go Alexx." And she handed the cup to her and gave the other to Horatio.

"So, is he doing ok, now? Do I have to give him the pain meds now or just the Tylenol?"

"Well, he needs the pains meds but he can take them once or twice as needed, as long as he does take them."

"Well Horatio are you doing ok, Calleigh wants to know?" Alexx said being wise.

Taking a sip of his coffee, he lifted his head to Alexx and said, "I'm doing fine. Thank you. Better now, that I have your coffee." He smiled.

"Ok, I think it's time I get to work now" And she got up and looked down at Horatio. "My boss may dock me." She joked.

"I think your boss is grateful for all your time and help. Thank you very much Alexx." Horatio said sincerely.

"Well vacation time is coming, and I hope my boss will see to it that I get the days I need." She laughed now.

"Hum, bribery, my own M.E." Horatio laughed. "Just fill out the form Alexx, and it's yours. He smiled.

She leaned down and put her hand to his forehead, "Please rest and relax, will you? Were worried sick about you Horatio."

"Ok, I will, you have my word. I'm feeling better Alexx, really. No need to worry, I'm in good hands with you two." Horatio smiled.

"Ok, I call later and check on you both." Alexx began walking out and Calleigh followed her. Telling Horatio she would be right back.

"Calleigh do me a favor ok, honey?"

"Sure Alexx, name it."

"Steer clear of his ribs, next time." Calleigh's hand went up to her mouth in shock.

"I... I... it just... how do you..."

"Do I look like I was born yesterday? You can't even look him in the eye and your acting like you're overdosed on caffeine and I know that was your first cup, right?" Alexx smiled to her now and patted her arm.

"Well, It's about time anyway, sweetheart!"

Calleigh mouth remained open.

Alexx walked out the door chuckling and said "I'll call to check on you both later." And pulled it closed.

Calleigh stood there... mouth still open, in shock.

Horatio was listening and almost spilled his coffee at Alexx's last words. It's about time... he thought.

Calleigh finally came back; she sat down and picked up her coffee taking a sip. He watched her now, she was in deep thought, he could tell.

"Deep thought?" He asked.

"Hmm, enjoying my coffee and wondering, what I can make you to eat. What do you feel like this morning Horatio?" She licked her lips.

He wanted to tell her what he would like... This morning... Right now... and it wasn't food.

He stared at her moist lips now and wondered what she could do with them... he now, was in a daze.

"Horatio?"... Horatio?"

"Hmm?"

"Breakfeast, remember. Now, who's the one in deep thought." She smiled at him.

"Not real hungry right now Calleigh, thank you though."

"You know you have to eat Horatio, with the meds and all, you have to have food in your stomach."

"Ok, ok, what do you feel like? I'll have some of what you're having." He said smiling to her.

"How's French toast sound with some fruit on the side."

"Sounds great! What kind of fruit?"

"Strawberries, grapes... what do you like?"

"Anything you like... he paused. Do you like... whip cream on your strawberries." Horatio teased now.

"Mmm, I love cool whip on everything, all my fruit." She said innocently, smiling, thinking of it.

"Mmm, everything, really?" His eyebrows raised up to her now and she began to blush. She had realized, what she just said, looking down now.

Horatio tilted his head to her and got her to look back up at him. He smiled a genuine smile, that she loved. She smiled back and he patted the bed next to him. She sat down beside him and he put his hand to her face, softly caressing it, with his thumb.

She closed her eyes reveling in the feeling, knowing now again this was NOT a dream.

His hand feels so good on my face she thought to herself and opened her eyes. He was staring into them now and she looked down, shyly. His hand moved to her chin now, to lift her head up to look at him.

"Horatio I... I need to tell you..." he cut her off.

"Calleigh wait, let me..." She cut him off now and put a finger to his lips.

He froze, memories of last night coming back, haunting him now.

That finger, he wanted to... She was sucking and licking my fingers. He remembered now, more clearly. A slight stirring beginning in his groin now, IT also was remembering.

He shifted his body a bit now, trying to make himself more comfortable. She took her finger away from his lips and began talking.

"I don't know how to say this to you. I... we... I... feel like.. such and idiot. It just... happened and I.." She looked down.

He tried to give her time... he did not want to upset her more. She became quiet and looked away. He wanted to tell her hr knew, so that she would stop trying to explain.

"Calleigh look at me." He put his right hand up to her face again, cupping it, making her look at him now.

"I remember, Calleigh." He said, looking deeply into her eyes now.

Her eyes at first were looking at him but asking a question, and then suddenly her eyes went wide with shock. She realized what he just said.

"You reemberb." Came out all jumbled. How,... I mean... if you, then why... didn't you say anything..."

"Alexx, remember... I didn't think you wanted me to go and.."

"Oh my GOD!... Alexx!... Alexx knows!" She said in shock to him. She knew and confronted me at the door but how in the world could she. I know I was a bit distracted but.."

"You were more than a bit, and she even asked me if you were ok."

"Well, what did you tell her?"

"I told her the truth. That you must be exhausted, from taken care of me." He smiled to her now and she smiled back to him. She tilted her head thinking how sweet he was to say that.

"So how did she know then?" Horatio decided now was a good time to stop making her guess.

"These may have given her a clue." He said in a smooth velvet voice. As he held up her underwear now with his two fingers, letting them hang loosely for her to see.

"Horatio!... Oh My GOD!" Her eyes wide with shock now. "She found my..."

"No, I did. I hid them under the blanket, but she pulled it down and found them stuff under my leg. I was trying to keep them covered Cal, and when I realized she'd had already grabbed them. Well, I would never..." Calleigh reached out.

"Give me those." And she made a quick grab for them.

Horatio quickly moved his hand away out of her reach, still holding them. His eyebrows going up now as a grin grew on his face.

"HORATIO!" She gave him a fiery look now and tilted her head to him.

He smiled at her now and said, "These belong to me now." His lips curling up more and his eyes locking with hers.

She sat back a bit and said "Really?" With attitude. Then made another attempt to grab them from him quickly.

"Yes, really. How I see it... finders, keepers." He said, in a low sexy voice, lust beginning to fill his eyes now.

He decided to play tactful with her and let her grabbed them but he didn't let go. Instead he pulled her down with his hand as she held on. Her face near his now and her right hand holding the underwear that are in his left hand.

"Give them to me." She said with a chuckle now leaning on his body, he held them tighter.

"Mmm, say please..." He said, in a low velvet voice now, feeling her on him.

She stopped struggling now and looked at him, she softly said, "Pleaseee..."

She melted him and he began to let go. Her hand tightened in his, holding them now. Her lips so close to his. He reached up and softly kissed her. She softly moaned as she felt his lips touch hers. She leaned more on the bed now and deepened the kiss with her tongue, she was still holding the underwear.

She broke the kiss and he just stared at her in awe, he went to reach up again, but she pulled her head back. He was going to asked what was wrong but before he could, she quickly leaned down and hungrily kissed him again. Now he moaned with pleasure as Calleigh's tongue when to work on him. His lips, down his neck, back up to his ear... She whispered in his ear now.

"So,... you... remember?" Her warm breath on his ear and neck now.

"Um-hmm." His right hand sliding down her body, softly caressing.

"Everything?" Kissing his earlobe now, licking his ear softly, she asked.

"Mmmm, yesss... everything." Closing his eyes now in pleasure as her lips and tongue devoured him.

She began to kiss and lick her way down to his neck and Horatio was so engrossed in her that he loosened his hold on the underwear. She felt him loosen his hold and quickly grabbed them from him now.

"Got em" She said, backing off and smiling innocently to him now.

She moved and straddled him now, holding them up for him to see. He reached up for her but she put her hand to his chest softly and shook her head no.

"Alexx said you need to rest and relax, your ribs remember?" She smirked.

He smiled at her now and his eyes narrowed, "You... you seduced me." He said in question in a deep lustful voice.

"Yes... like you did to me last night...remember?" She teased him now.

She slowly began unbuttoning his pajama top, keeping eye contact with him. She could read the lust in his eyes now. She bent forward and kissed his chest; he softly moaned and closed his eyes. He put both his hands on her head now, feeling her silky hair, running his fingers through it. A light moan escaped his throat.

She looked up at him and made deep eye contact and went right back to giving him the softest kisses he could ever imagine. His head sank back onto the pillow in ecstasy, he always imagined the feeling of her kisses, her hair, her mouth, her tongue, but nothing could compare to this.

His fantasies could never compare to what he was truly feeling now. Hot... Wet... Soft... Smooth... Mouth... Lips... "Ahhhh... CalAhhhh Ahhh.."

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, relax yourself,... breathe, he told himself. His length hardening now.

She felt him breathe deeply and looked up at him again, his eyes now closed, his forehead tight and wrinkling, his jaw clenched. Soft sounds coming from his throat.

She smiled and sat up again; she took the ripped underwear and trailed them down, softly over his chest and over his nipples. Teasing him, watching his every reaction, his deep blue eyes opened and met hers. He swallowed hard, she knew she had him. She felt his hardness straining to be released, pushing into her now.

He licked his lips as his mouth went dry. He reached his arms up to hold her and she grabbed them. She shook her head to him now.

"No! No hands. Put your hands down and keep them there." She placed them both at his sides, holding onto his wrists with her hands. Wicked green eyes now looking deeply into his needy blue eyes, talking to him, no words were needed. Her hands still holding onto his wrists as her head dropped back down to kiss and caress him some more.

"But I want to... AHhh!..."

He moaned in pleasure as she began licking his nipple and chest. His head lifted quickly and his mouth opened, as he felt her flick her tongue across his nipple. His hands jerked and she held onto him. She lifted her head up and looked at him again, his mouth still open and his eyes watching her every move, full of lust now.

"Now it's my turn." She smiled to him, and quickly went to the other nipple, licking and sucking on it softly. She nipped it and he gasped and went to grab her again. His hands quickly found her head and pulled her down for a kiss, he grabbed her waists and pulled at her shirt.

"No hands, I told you, at your sides." She held his hands, giving him a look.

His deep blue eyes going narrow now, he took a deep breath in again and let it out slowly.

"But I NEED to touch y..."

"Trust me, I promise, you're going to enjoy this, let me do this.. I have waited so long to be... Just lay back and relax,ok?" She didn't wait for his answer.

She placed his hands at his sides again and began kissing and licking his stomach now. She was slowly working her way down his body. His length aching, he lifted his hips into her now.

"Umm..." She moaned softly, "You-feel..so good..Hor-a-tio, Mmm..." Her tongue lapping at his skin.

He growled deeply now, his length aching for release, she was merciless. She was driving him mad now. His body was craving her touch and his hands were craving to touch her.

She went lower and kissed and licked all around his belly button, going right down to his red happy trail. His hardness pressing into her chest now. Her hand slid down lower and found his length; she began to slide her hand up and down, in a soft, gently stroke.

"Grrrrr"

He tensed, and let out a deep growl, his hands reaching once again for her. This time he stopped himself and she noticed and smiled up at him now.

"Mmm..."

Her moan low and soft to his ears. She kissed below his belly button and slowly worked her way down his happy trail of red hair. His stomach muscles tensed with each soft kiss and he groaned now. His breathing quickening, his heart beginning to race now, knowing where the trail leads. He gasped and his breath caught as she went lower.

"Slid down, I want you flat on your back." She smiled up wickedly at him and took his pajamas pants in between her teeth now, pulling on the waist, snapping them back at him.

He looked up and grunted as they snapped back down into place; she had a gleam in her eyes now. Sliding himself lower he said,

"Well.. you're.. the BOSS... AHhhh..." He grunted as she squeezed his thighs and lapped at his flat stomach with her tongue. Feeling all of her tongue on him now. His head lifting up, looking at her.

She continued to kiss down his stomach and stroke his hard length. His head dropping back down, it was just too much for him, she had him on the edge and she didn't even touch him yet.

His eyes closed again and all he felt were sensations now. Her warm mouth.. her hot lips.. her wet tongue... then Wetness... Moans of pleasure, now escaping his throat.

"Mmmm... Cal-leighhh... Ahh, just, Ahhh.."

He slid down a bit more and she slowly unbuttoned his pajamas,.. button.. by.. button. His hard length, aching for freedom. His hands aching to grab her now, groped at the blankets instead. Squeezing with his fingers and holding on so tight, his mind was reeling. This was real... really happening, he thought, trying to remember, to breathe now.

She reached her hand inside and slowly slipped his length out, she softly squeezed it. She heard him moan deeply, throaty and saw his hands grabbed at the blankets harder. She smiled, she new, she was in control now and wanted to pleasure him as much as he did her, last night. He was so hard and engorged, that seeing him this way was making her crazy and hot. She wanted to jump right on him and take all of him, she moaned louder now, getting his full attention.

"MMmmm..."

Her hands were warm and felt like silk he thought, as she slowly began to stroke him. She squeezed and felt him throb in her hand; another growl escaping his throat.

"Ahhh!... Calll..e!..." He lifted his head up a bit to look at her. His mouth was open and his eyes going wide now, seeing her head slowly drop back down. She slowly took his length in her warm mouth, licking the underside of it with her tongue. He though he would explode right there, watching her take him like this. She took him deeply and gracefully.

"AHHHH!... Dammm!... Cal-Ahhhh!..." His voice husky, grunting now.

His jaw set tightly, his head slammed back and his hands were squeezing the blankets now, needing something to grab a hold of. He growled again loudly now and his breathing was ragged, his head pressed back down, deeper into the pillow. That picture in his head now of her, was just too much...

"UHhhh!...Cal!...Ahhhhhh!..."

His breathing catching in his throat with each word. He tried to take a few breaths and willed himself to relax. Her expert tongue was hitting all the right spots; she was not making this easy. He lifted his hips a bit and she put her hands on them, holding him down now.

She looked up at him and met his eyes. Eyes full of lust now and desire; she slowly licked him, teasingly, keeping eye contact with him, as she did. He thought he'd die right there, watching her, like this. His fantasies now long forgotten, this was here and now, and he was being devoured by her.

His mouth opened and his breathing increased even more now, his head sank back down. All the sensations he was feeling going through him now. Her mouth warm and wet, her tongue licking, her lips around him soft and tight and...wetness...

"CAL!...Ahhhhhhhhhh!.

He was getting close to the edge now and he couldn't keep his hands off her. He reached for her head and gently put his fingers in her hair, feeling it. He felt his hands moving in time with her head now and he clenched his jaw, trying to hold on. Touching her now was making it worse, feeling more sensation now...

Her hot mouth went deep on him and her hand began caressing him lower now. He was writhing under her, holding on to her head and putting his hands on her shoulders and back. Rubbing his hands all over, wherever he could reach her. His moans deeper and stronger, his breathing uncontrollable. He thrust upward into her mouth now, she held his hips again and he stilled. She placed her hands back on him and covered him again with her wet mouth, now working harder.

Now she began to moan. "Mmm... Ho..ratio... Mmmm... tell me... what you... feel." As she slipped her tongue all around him.

"Callll!..I...Oh!..." He shuddered under her and she knew he was close. Unable to speak at the moment her questions did not fall on deaf ears. His senses heard and were paying attention to everything he was feeling now. His brain was letting him know, exactly what he was feeling. He was trying not to think about it, wanting this to last forever, but her question just about pushed him over the edge.

"Umm... you felt so good... inside me... last night..." That was about all he could take, as far as he was concerned, she owned him now.

She moaned. Her mouth like silk, he thought again, slippery, warm. He closed his eyes, feeling them all. Sensations, too many, he was barely hanging on. He was groaning now loudly, still holding onto her head and hair. Senses flooding him now, gripping her head lightly with his fingers.

"Calllleighhh!..." He grunted now, his breathing wreakless, his body straining.

"That feels... so.. goo...ood!... Cal-Uhhhh!..." He was trying to speak to her as his voice left him, his senses were taking over now.

He felt his face, his neck, his chest, his stomach all getting hot, his length aching, building and building, his body on fire now. His hands let go of her head, he let them slip off, in fear of not being able to control his grip.

He slapped the bed now with his hands and he grabbed the blankets again, twisting them in his hands, holding them as tight as he could. His knuckles and fingers going white as he squeezed tighter. His hips raised up, tension in his legs now going down to his toes, tightening. He began to feel the heat raging through him, breathe, breathe, he told himself. He trembled under her and groaned now, his voice getting louder, more urgent.

"Cal...leigh!...I need ..to. feel! you, be inside you!... AHHHH!"

"Mmm..., then feel me,... feel this..." She said, turning him on even more now.

His raging length begging for release now, feeling himself tighten even more. She worked her tongue, smooth pressure, soft warmth, his breath caught, he wanted to kiss her. She went deeper, his eyes squeezed shut, he shudder, he felt it, so close, so close, he couldn't contain it, surging through him, his warmth in her mouth...

"Cal-llleeeeighh!...I'mm...Dammm!...UHHH!...Godd!... Cal-AAHHHH!"

He groaned and grunted, his hands grabbing, finding her head quickly now. His body jerking up, almost into a sitting position. He held on to her for dear life as she took him deeply, completely, all in her warm mouth. His head was spinning and his grunts strained as she finished him off, as his body shuddered and jerked under her. His hands in her hair, still holding on, feeling the silkiness of her. His breathing labored and his arms felt like they weight a ton now.

"Mmmm..."

She moaned and looked up to him now out of breath. He quickly pulled her down on top of him and kissed her deeply. She lost her breath and had to pull back, he was still breathing ragged but began kissing her again. Holding her tightly, Letting her know how good... that just was.

"You're... so... beautiful." He said, sliding her hair off her face now, with his fingers. She smiled and look down now. He tried to catch his breath.

"You ok, you're breathing awfully hard." She smiled to him now, raising her eyebrows up and down. His lips curling up now and a grin on his face.

"Hmm, what... were... your words... to me? Lay back and... relax?"

She smiled now. "Yes, and I noticed you were having a very, 'HARD' time relaxing." She drawled the words to him, and stressed the word.

"Mmm..." He gave a tight grin and shook his head now. "Yes, I ... certainly was." He kissed her again and whispered in her ear, "That... was amazing, beautiful." Still trying to catch his breath, licking his dry lips now, trying to moisten them.

"Really? Well, that was just a quickie to tell you the truth." She drawled in her southern accent to him, smiling.

Horatio's breath caught in his throat now. She gently rolled off him and to his left but he quickly grabbed her. He kissed her deeply again and began to run his hands all over her body.

"Let me show you... MY meaning... of a quickie, Calleigh." He said in a low husky voice, kissing her. His hands beginning to caress her body.

"No, No,... not now, you need to rest... Mmmm...mmm... Horatio, you need... Mmm...Mmm... Hor a...Ooh...Oh my God!" She moved quickly away from him now, his hands were feeling too good on her.

"Wait...where... Cal?" He was surprised she moved.

"No really, you need to rest and if you keep that up... well, you won't get any."

"But I just want to show..."

"You will, I promise." She said in certainty, raising her eyebrows up and down.

She moved closer to him again and pulled the covers over him; she put her hand on his forehead and ran it through his disheveled red hair. She made a move to get up.

"Where are you going, stay with me, you need to get some rest too."

"If I stay, trust me,... there will be no rest for either of us." She grinned and he laughed.

"Come here Calleigh, lay with me.. please." He put his hand out to her, she took it.

She cuddled next to him and wrapped her arm around his stomach area. He winced in pain and she clenched her teeth gently realizing she just hit his ribs.

"Shheess, I'm sorry Horatio... You ok? She asked.

"Hmm, I'm... I haven't felt this good, in a long time Cal." He turned and smiled to her, giving her the softest kiss. He held her tightly and softly stroked her hair now.

"That's just about how I felt last night, handsome, minus the broken ribs of course. She smiled. You were unbelievable, I had no idea where you were getting your energy from, you just kept going and going. Are you always this...energetic?" She laughed, wrapping her leg around his now.

"Hmm... No. It's you... You do this to me... Your... doing it again, see?" He said, tilting his head down now. Calleigh looked up at him, confused now.

"Doing what?"

"Look." He said, and now she followed his eyes to see one area of the blanket sticking straight up."

"Oh my god, Horatio..."

"I told you,... Its not my fault, in fact, it's that leg, that you have just wrapped around me." He turned and softly kissed her again. She softly moaned into his mouth, her hand slowly descending down his body now. Horatio grabbed it now and broke the kiss.

"No, no... If I can't touch you, then you can't touch me either." He said, holding her arm closely to him now.

"Well now, you sure know how to ruin a girls good time and spoil all the fun. I was imagining all kinds of things I could do with that." She kissed his neck now, teasing him more. She slid her hand across his chest and he gasped. Her hand froze and her head snapped up now, looking into his eyes.

"What was that?"

"What?"

"Don't give me that Horatio, I just love it when you answer a question with another one of your questions. You're in bad pain again?"

"No Cal... Just a little... sore is all." His eyes closed now.

She pulled the covers off and sat up next to him, she began to examine his chest now. His eyes opened with a start, they we nice and comfortable, he thought. Why did she go and do that?

She ran a hand on his chest gently again and he gasped again now. She examined the area and saw it was swollen again.

"I'm fine Cal..."

"No your not, and I'm calling Alexx."

"Cal wait, listen if... "

The bell rang.

"We expecting someone."

He smiled at her, trying to lighten the situation. "Well at least we didn't get interrupted again." He chuckled. She gave him a grin, knowing it was true.

"I don't know, but stay in bed and get some rest, ok? I'll be right back, and you can take your pain killers then."

If you come back to bed, I can guarantee, I won't need the pain killers. He smiled and wiggled his eyebrows up and down now.

She glared at him now.

He smiled. "Do you know, you look even more beautiful when your angry?"

Now she blushed and smiled... she couldn't stay angry at him, besides his words just melted her into mush.

"Ok, ok, just please stay in bed and rest, I'll be right back."

"Yes, ma'am... He began to button up his shirt as Calleigh left the room.

All she could think of at the moment was that voice. The way he just spoke to her... His thoughtfulness.

His voice was like silk, so smooth and it gave her goosebumps all over. She smiled now almost at the door, raking her hair back with her fingers.
