Chapter: 3
Good Tension Release;
"You've got to be kidding me right? The seventh annual Miami Scare Fest?" Natalia shook her head and sighed reading the piece of paper that was in her hand. The news about the fest grew within the lab in minutes of receiving the invitation.
Ryan chuckled and snatched the paper out of her hand playfully, "Ah, come on, it will be fun!" he said with a grin.
"As if we don't get enough of the dead bodies and blood with our jobs you wanna go to something like that?" she said shaking her head once more with a chuckle.
"Its Halloween! I used to love going to stuff like this! Anyways you have to come, all the day shift crew does, says right here -," he pointed to the bold lettering at the bottom of invitation stating that they would appreciate the CSI's to give a mini course to the younger group of children there on safety.
Natalia gathered up the photos in front of her and removed her lab jacket thinking it over. She knew if she really wanted to she could get out of this, but how could she say no to Ryan. Especially when he gave her that face.
Natalia rolled her eyes and faced him, "Yeah, alright. Guess it could be fun just as long as I don't -,"
"Oh and we have to go in costume!" Ryan said with a grin.
"No way! I'm not going then!" She wasn't sure why she was making such a big deal about it, she actually liked Halloween. She looked at Ryan again and seen the look on his face, "What do I go as?" she asked him softly almost in a whisper as they walked down the hall.
"That a' girl, Nat!" He nudged her a little, "Eh, I'm not sure? Eric and I lost a bet to Cullen and Mason, s –so we have to wear these ridicules toga costumes," he said shaking his head slightly embarrassed.
She laughed lightly, "I'm not even going to ask!" she grinned at him and walked with him towards the locker rooms.

Calleigh opened the doors to the locker and shower area remembering that Eric said he would be in there. She figured once he was done he would come find her? She propped the door open with her foot as she tried to get the lights to come on.
"Eric?" she called out flipping the switch a few times. She jumped feeling someone tap her shoulder. She turned to see Natalia and Ryan looking at her.
"What's up?" Natalia asked wearing the same confused look on Ryan's face.
"N –Nothing, Other then the obvious," she pointed into the dark room.
Ryan fumbled around with his mini kit and pulled out a small flashlight. He stepped forward and flipped the switch a few times before walking into the locker room. Calleigh and Natalia walked behind him looking around with what little light that was presented into the room around them.
"What was that?" Calleigh asked reaching her hand out to stop Ryan from walking.
"Wha –,"
"Shh, listen." Calleigh stood there looking around in the dark as she heard another faint moaning sound. It sounded like a grunt. Just as she opened her mouth to say something the lights flickered back on.
Ryan shut off his flashlight as they all blinked a few times looking around the once dark room. Calleigh could hear the grunting noise again and followed the sound as Natalia and Ryan, too, looked around.
"Oh my god! Eric!" Calleigh shouted out as she rushed over to his side helping him lean up. The front of his face was covered in blood. "What happened?" Calleigh asked slightly hysterical lightly touching his forehead as Ryan rushed over and opened up his kit and got some gauze as he started to wipe off his forehead.
"I don't know? The lights just went out, so I used the light on my cell to see in front of me and I saw someone the next thing I know I'm being hit in the head." Eric grimaced in pain as Calleigh started to apply pressure to the wound.
She sighed and looked over the gash on his forehead, "It's pretty deep, you might need stitches?" she said calmly as she stood a little while Ryan helped her get him up off the ground.
"I'll -," Eric felt a little wobbly as Ryan caught him. "I'll get it checked out before we leave." He let his arm snake around Calleigh's waist as she helped him out of the locker room. He was going to use this little accident to his advantage and hold her as much as he could. Ryan and Natalia looked around the area that Eric was knocked out at for any type of clue as to who did this.
X/X/X/
Eric slipped on his pants with help from Calleigh. She buttoned up his shirt for him as well. Eric chuckled and shook his head taking her trembling hands in his own. Calleigh looked up at him with fear in her eyes, "Baby? What's the matter?" Eric asked her softly.
She swallowed hard and sighed, "Eric, don't you get it? This guy, this Damon Brooks or whoever, that's after me is trying to hurt the people I love." She licked her lips as her eyes searched his face; she looked over the wound more before looking into his eyes again.
Eric knew she was right, he just hated to think that this was all still real. "I know, Cal. He told me this was my warning." He saw the look on her face reached his hand up stroking her cheek with the back of his hand, "He seems to think that you belong to him, but listen to me, we are going to catch him. I wont let anything happen to you," he said softly dropping his hand. "Hopefully Natalia and Ryan will find something? But what I want to know is how the hell did this guy get into the building?"
Calleigh's eyes widened when he said that. That was a good question, how did he get into the building unnoticed? She sighed stepping back from him once she heard footsteps approaching.
"There's nothing. Just your blood," Natalia said softly as she started to remove her gloves. "This guy is good."
Calleigh rubbed her eyes and sighed shaking her head. She was putting everyone in danger around her because some psycho wanted to get his hands on her.
"Don't worry about anything Cal, we'll get this guy, he'll turn sloppy eventually, in the mean time Eric," Ryan nodded to him, "Get your head checked out, it doesn't look so good."
Eric just chuckled and nodded back to him seeing Natalia and Ryan walk to separate parts of the locker room. He turned his attention back to Calleigh and gave her a reassuring smile before they gathered their things and headed out.

Calleigh drove up into Eric's driveway slowly as she glanced over at him. He had his head back against the seat and his eyes closed. After a few minutes of arguing back at the lab she finally convinced him to let her drive. She bit her bottom lip; if he was asleep she didn't want to wake him, when they went to have his head checked they said he was fine. The cut wasn't too deep and he only received three stitched. She reached out hesitantly as she leaned over to touch his face; she jumped feeling him grab her arm as his eyes opened.
"I'm awake," he whispered with a small laugh seeing the look on her face. He kissed her hand before opening his door to get out.
She, too, hopped out of the hummer and walked up his driveway with him as she looked around at their surroundings. She had become more aware of everything around her every since this thing started. She hated to think that someone was watching her like this. She also hated to think that someone was willing to hurt the man she loved just to send out some sort of sick message.
She closed the door behind her and watched Eric stumble over to the couch. She removed her over jacket and hung it up before walking into his kitchen to grab him some water and aspirin. She walked back into the living room and sat next to him handing him the water and medicine.
"Here, hopefully this will help with your headache?" she whispered watching him take it. He made a low sighing sound before setting the glass down. She knew right now wasn't the best time to bring up what had happened back at the lab so she tried to get their minds off of it. But before she could say anything Eric spoke up.
"I had this all planned out tonight. I was going to cook you dinner and run you a nice bath, try to help you relax you know?" he shook his head, "I can't even do that, this fucking psychotic asshole just ruins everything, I can't wait until we catch him." Eric sighed and looked over at the beautiful blonde, her eyes were wide and her face twisted like she wanted to cry. Eric never really spoke like that to her, well it wasn't towards her anyhow; still she could tell that he was angry.
He reached out and touched her cheek softly pulling her in with his other hand so her body was pressed against his own. Chest to chest. "I'm so sorry this happened Eric. I just don't understand all this, why this is happening?" she shook her head and sighed looking into his dark hues.
"People are sick and twisted; we both know there are usually no legitimate reasons as to why people do things like this." He stroked her cheek with his hand softly, "Stop saying sorry, Querida, none of this is your fault, ok?" he smiled at her and leaned in to kiss her lips softly.
She traced his face with her fingers and smiled at him. "You know, I'm not that hungry now –but that bath sure sounds nice," she said almost too innocently.
God did Eric love the little vixen in her; it turned him on so much. "I'll just be a minute," she whispered against his lips before jumping off the couch and headed down the hall.
X/X/X/
Eric sat in the living room looking around for what seemed like forever when it had only been about ten minutes. He tapped his fingers against the arm of the couch waiting for her wondering what she was doing? Eric slipped off the couch and slowly walked down the hall towards the bathroom, he could see the light on from the crack that the door made. "Cal, you alright?" he said softly while peaking his head through the door.
Eric's breath hitched in his throat seeing her naked body slip into the bathtub that was filled with bubbles. She smirked at him and moved her pointer finger out motioning him to come to her. He did as instructed as she sat up on her knees in the tub and looked up at him as she unzipped his pants. "I figure we both need some relaxation time?" she said with a devious smirk on her face dropping his pants and boxers as they made a pile at his ankles.
She looked at his obvious erection and swallowed hard, just the sight of Eric made her wet between the thighs. Calleigh shivered at her thoughts watching him toss his shirt as he slipped into the tub behind her. She sighed happily and leaned her back against his chest feeling his hands play along the inside of her thighs.
She closed her eyes and leaned her head back against his shoulder. Eric smiled and kissed her temple watching her breasts heave slowly up and down against the top of the bubbles. His hands traced circles under the water up her sides and over her tummy. Calleigh giggled lightly, she was ticklish and he knew it.
"So what are you going as to that Miami Fest we were all invited too?" she asked casually fighting back a moan.
Eric smirked feeling her body squirm between his legs, it just made him harder to know that she was struggling so much with his touches. "Wolfe and I lost a bet, we gotta wear toga costumes." Eric chuckled just thinking about it.
Calleigh cocked her brow and looked over her shoulder at him with a grin, "Sexy," she wiggled her brows at him and brought her hands along the outside of his thighs softly. "I don't think I'm going to dress up as anything, I mean it is work related?" she said softly. She frowned feeling Eric's hands stop rubbing along her smooth skin.
"You have too, Cal. Its all in fun, besides if everyone else is doing it why not?" he said nudging her while his hands moved up along her stomach to cup her perfectly round breasts in his hands. His fingers grazed along her nipples causing Calleigh to moan.
"Eric," she breathed out losing her train of thought.
Eric smirked and nipped along her neck softly before he sucked on her earlobe feeling her press back hard against his body. "Hmm, besides, just thinking about you wearing a little… Goldilocks outfit drives me crazy," he said seductively against her ear gripping her breasts more firmly in his hands, messaging them now.
"G –Goldilocks?" she managed to moan out with her eyes closed. She chuckled while really thinking about what he just said, "Why Goldi –never mind, either stop teasing me or do something already. I –I cant handle it anymore, Eric," she breathed out alluringly moving more into his touch.
Eric laughed lightly and moved his hands away from her body hearing her groan with a mad look on her face. He smirked at her and moved his hand to the side of her face to turn it towards him completely as he assaulted her mouth with sensual kisses. Calleigh moaned and moved onto her knees as she sat up between his legs. The water and soap dripping down along her slender form as Eric leaned up and wrapped his arms around her body.
He lifted her up into his arms and without even bothering to towel off he carried her towards the hall. Calleigh moaned feeling her back hit a nearby wall as she wrapped her legs around his waist. Eric's hands grazed along her wet hips before he gripped her ass lifting her up against his body more. Calleigh jerked her hips forward feeling the head of his erection brush against her heat.
Eric groaned into her mouth and walked more towards the bedroom. Calleigh felt her back hit the cold silk sheets as Eric continued to assault her mouth with hot passionate kisses. She sucked on his big bottom lip before rolling him over onto his back. She broke the kiss to breathe for a moment before looking down at him. She grinned and nipped at his lips again before making a trail of kisses along his jaw line and down along his neck and chest.
Eric moved his fingers through her hair and looked down at her feeling her kiss along his abdomen and just above a batch of curls that met at the center of his legs. "Cal you -,"
"Shh," she whispered putting her finger up her lip with a grin. She moved her lips along his inner thighs before without caution she gripped his girth in her hand. She felt him twitch a little before she started to move her hand up and down against his shaft. She loved to please Eric and after what happened today she knew that he could release some tension. Of course she could too, not just because of everything going on, but because of what he was doing to her no minutes ago in the bathtub.
She ran her other hand up along his abdomen and chest feeling him suck on her fingers a little before she moved her hand back down. She gripped him with both hands before slowly stroking yet her motions were quick and apparently pleasing by the sounds he was making. She moved her lips along abs and moaned while her hand began to stroke him harder.
"God, Cal!" Eric breathed out throwing his head back against the pillow. She moved her head down and ran her tongue along the head of his cock. She sucked around him for a few moments feeling his hands go into her hair edging her further. Calleigh moaned and took him in completely. She could feel his body tense under hers, but she didn't stop. She wanted him to feel the pleasure he deserved, the only thing was, she was getting turned on herself know that she was able to please him this much.
Before Calleigh could move any faster she felt him pull her up by her shoulders and pin her down against the bed. She looked at him surprised, "I cant take it anymore, I need to be inside you," Eric moaned out capturing her lips before he slipped inside of her.
Calleigh bit his tongue as she tried to suffocate her moan feeling Eric thrust deep inside of her. She wrapped her legs around his waist and thrusted her hips up into his own only to feel them be pushed back down by his powerful thrusts. Eric was hanging on by a thread; he could feel his orgasm build up inside of him. Calleigh could feel her own too; all that teasing brought her to the brink of her pleasure.
Eric kissed along the hollow of her throat feeling the bed quake in protest beneath them. "I can feel it -," Eric moaned out against her neck softly biting the skin between her shoulder and neck. Calleigh groaned out and moved her fingers up through his now non existent hair. She moaned and felt her slick walls start to contract around his girth. She moved her fingers down along his back, her nails scraping hard against his skin as he slammed into her a little harder.
He moved his hand down between them and rubbed her swollen nub feeling her start to cum around him. Eric shot up inside of her moving at the same pace before he felt her grind her hips up into him while he continued to rub her clit. "Oh Eric! Oh that feels so good, d –don't stop!" Calleigh moaned out while Eric pumped harder.
Eric started to slow his pace as he moved his hands up along her thighs and rested them along her back. He breathed heavily into the nape of her neck feeling her wrap her arms around him. "You drive me crazy, Calleigh," Eric moaned out moving his head up to look down into her eyes.
She smiled and licked her lips before brushing them along his own. "I try," she giggled and moved her hands to the back of his head pulling him down so she could kiss him. Her tongue traced the outline of his lips before finding the hotness of his mouth. This was the best distraction for the both of them. It made them forget about everything that was going on around them.
For the time being.
