In The Heat Of Miami

Chapter 3- Morning Glow

Calliegh saw Horatio walking down the hallway.

She wanted to talk to him. She never would have thought that the time that she had with Horatio.

Calliegh bit her lip with a grin on her face. She made her way to the same room as Horatio had just gone moments before.

"Hey guys" she greeted as she walked in. Saw Eric standing there at the table with the evidence looking it over as Horatio was placing on his white gloves.

Horatio smiled from across the room. He needed to push her out of his mind just for a moment and he thought it would be easy.

Calliegh smiled back lowering her head. She recalled the conversation they had the morning after.

-Flashback-

The early morning glow of the sun shined into the windows in Calliegh's room.

Horatio and Calliegh laid sleeping soundly together. Facing each other Horatio had his arm around her the way he had fell asleep. Calliegh was the first person to wake realizing that Horatio was still sleeping. She forgot that she had asked him to stay.

She looked at him and smiled and trailed her finger lightly over his cheek, she gently placed a piece of his red hair that had fell over his face out the way of his eyes.

She trailed the tip of her finger along the pink of his lips. She bit her lip, she wanted to kiss him again, she remembered vividly doing that before she had fallen asleep.

Horatio remained still, his body was uncovered the blankets were all pulled over to Calliegh's side of the bed.

She reached over and pulled the blankets up to his waist before taking in the view of what she had been sleeping beside the whole night. It was dark, she didn't turn on the lights all she saw of him was his figure from the glow of moon.

As she pulled the blankets up to his waist, he woke, placing his hand on hers pulling her close. He kissed her lips, without his opening his eyes.

"morning handsome' she said with a giggle as he kissed her again. His eyes opened and they became so blue. She got lost in her eyes.

"Morning sweatheart" he mumbled back. Sending a smile across his face. He put his hand through her blonde hair moving it away from his face. It was so soft he thought.

Horatio pulled her close in her arms, lying with her. "How you doing" he asked her as placed his palm of her hand in his holding them up so he could see.

"Better" she responded "that I know I wasn't alone" she put her head to the side and kissed his chest.

"Can I ask you something" she asked innocently as she looked at his hand as he held hers.

"Sure" he stopped and let go of her palm and wrapped his arm around her again.

"We never..." she started to ask knowing it sounded like a stupid question. Knowing he would never take advantage of her she knew him too long for him to do that.

"no, Hun we didn't' he said laughing "don't worry" he whispered in her ear.
