Chapter 15

VEGAS: TWO HOURS EARLIER

Gil had been pacing the living room floor, he had not heard form Sara in well over 10 hours. The ringing of the phone almost made him jump out of his skin, "Jim? Where's Sara? What's going on?"

"One thing at a time," Jim said, "Carson is dead."

"I don't give a damn about Carson, how's Sara?"

"Ok," Jim said, "She's been hurt - not seriously."

"Damn it!," Gil yelled, "I knew something like this would happen."

"For heavens sake, calm down and stop yelling will you," Jim said.

Jim told Gil about the murder of Sergeant Bennett and of Sara's plan. "As close as we can figure," Jim went on, "Carson took off out the back door planning on fleeing into the woods when he surprised Sara. After Carson thought he was clear of us he pushed Sara to the ground intending on raping her and then killing her."

"Oh God," Gil said, pulling in a deep breath.

"Sara was not going to let that happen," Jim went on, "She grabbed a good sized branch and busted him in the gonads."

"That's my Sara," Gil said chuckling.

Jim then went on to tell Gil everything that happened after that, "When Carson raised the branch a second time, well I had a clean shot and I took it."

"Just how bad was Sara hurt?" Gil asked.

"She has several scraps and bruises, a nasty black and blue spot where he kicked her in the ribs and ….. Well when Carson hit her with the branch he put a good size gash in her head. It took a little over 60 stitches to close it up. She lost consciousness for a while, the doctors closed up her head and did a CT scan, everything is ok, there was not major damage. The doc said she will have a hell of a headache, he wants her here over night so we will be leaving for Vegas tomorrow after Sara is released."

"Have her call me just as soon as she can, please," Gil said to Jim.

"Will do," Jim told him.

OTTAWA: AFTER SARA REGAINED CONSCIOUSNESS:

"You've already talked to him?" Sara asked Jim.

"Yes," Jim said.

"He's not to happy is he?" Sara asked.

"He's glad you are going to be alright," Jim said.

"I'll be alright when I'm home, where are my clothing so I can get out of here?" Sara asked trying to sit up.

"Your not going anywhere," Jim said, easing her back down, "The doc wants you here overnight."

"But….." Sara said.

"But nothing," Jim said, "Your staying right where you are. Now call Gil." Jim smiled and walked out the door.

"Hi babe," Sara said.

"I should chew you out for making a foolish rookie mistake," Gil said, "But I'm so glad you are going to be alright."

"Gil, I want to come home now but they said I have to stay here," Sara said.

"Stay, darling," Gil said, "I'll see you tomorrow."

"But…..," Sara said.

"But nothing," Gil said, "Stay where you are so the doctors can keep an eye on you."

"Yes love," she said.

"Now, rest and behave yourself," Gil said.

"Yes dear," Sara said.

VEGAS: ST. BERNARD'S CEMETERY:

Gil bent down and laid some flower in front of Sandra's stone. "It's over," he whispered, "I'm just sorry that it took so long to find him."

A hand touched his shoulder, "This part of you life is over," Henry said, "You have to let Sandra go, you have Sara now."

"Sara understands," Gil said.

"Sara understands because she loves you," Henry said, "But she can't compete with a memory. Don't make her. Live your life with Sara."

"I can do that now," Gil said, "Now that I know Carson has paid for what he done."

Henry lied his flowers next to Gil's, "You can rest in peace now sis."

VEGAS AIRPORT:

Gil had arrived an hour early, he could not ever remember being so nervous about anything in his life. While Sara was busy playing "chase the gun" Gil had been busy too, he had furnished the new house. Sara had been - as she put it - computer shopping, she had visited several web sites and bookmarked everything that she wanted to "someday" buy for the house. Someday would be when she got home.

Gil seen Sara walking to him, he wanted to wrap her tightly in his arms and never let her go but he was unsure how much pain she was in and he was not going to cause her anymore.

"Darling," Sara called, when she seen him.

Gil held her, gently, "How I missed you."

"Me too," Sara told him, kissing him.

"I missed you too," Jim said, "But I'll be damned if I kiss you."

Gil took his outstretched hand and shook it, "Thank you for taking care of her for me."

Jim laughed, "I wouldn't have dared come back if I hadn't."

"I missed you too," a voice from behind Gil said, "And you had better give me a kiss." Gil had asked Anne to come with him to see to it that Jim got home. Jim put his arms around Anne and kissed her.

"Oh yeah," Gil said, "I thought you may need a ride home."

After good byes were said Gil started for the house. "I have a little surprise for you," Gil told Sara.

Arriving at the house the first thing Sara seen was her car in the driveway, the second thing she seen was the two rockers and the swing she wanted to hang on the porch. Gil unlocked the door, "Surprise!"

Sara squealed with joy, everything was where she wanted it.

"Welcome home," Gil said.

"It's beautiful," Sara said, hardly able to believe what she was seeing. Then she smiled that coy little smile of hers, "The bedroom?"

"Just the way you want it," Gil said.

"How about I shower and we try out the new bed?" Sara asked stroking Gil's cheek.

"I would love to," Gil said, "But I don't want to hurt you."

Sara smiled, "Nothing really hurts but my pride."

"How about a soak in the Jacuzzi?" Gil asked.

"Oh Gil, you didn't?" Sara said, taking off for the back yard. He had, sitting in a fenced in area right next to the back porch was the Jacuzzi she had wanted. Sara quickly went upstairs and stripped, then wrapping a towel around her she headed for the Jacuzzi, dropping the towel on the deck Sara slipped into the steaming hot whirlpool. "Oh heavens, this feels so good."

Gil stood smiling at her. "Join me," Sara said. Gil, not being as bashful as Sara, stripped right there and climbed in next to her.

Gil took Sara's face in his hands and kissed her. "We could make love right here," Gil said, running his hand down from her cheek toward her thigh."

Sara laughed, "Sure. Have you get all excited and drown me. I think I'll wait for the bed."

Gil laughed them moved a little away from her, "If I have to be a good boy then I better move myself away from temptation."

Sara stood, "How about we finish our soak after." Not bothering to wrap in the towel Sara headed for the stairs, Gil right behind her his manhood pointing the way.

Gil eased Sara to the bed, his lips started with hers then slowly he made his way down, stopping to suckle at her beasts. Gil kissed her belly as his fingers played in her mound of curls, Sara opened herself to him. Gil moved between her legs, breathing in her scent. Her scent intoxicated him, it was something he wanted burned into his mind.

She panted as his fingers rubbing the taught nub in slow circles. Slowly Gil traced, licked, and suckled the entire length of Sara's inner thigh, first one then the other. By now Sara was on fire, each nerve ending tingling with pleasure, screaming for release.

Ever so slowly Gil moved his mouth slightly and sucked her nub into his mouth. Kissing it passionately, sucking it gently. Sara was moaning with pleasure now as he gently inserted two fingers in her opening and began pumping it until he felt Sara's walls clamping down on his fingers and hearing her scream his name. He could feel her body shudder violently as her orgasm crashed over her.

Gil moved above her and as he entered her he could still feel her body tremble with aftershocks, feel her walls caressing his throbbing manhood. Gil began thrusting slowly, loving the feel of her warm channel as it massaged his manhood.

Each thrust hit her spot awaking those nerve endings again, building a need for a second release. Sara started to move her hips upwards to meet each of his downward movements, Gil let her body set the tempo.

Once more Gil felt her body arched against his, her vaginal muscles tightened around his manhood, felt her hot juices flood over him.

Gil kept his movements slow and gentle, he wanted this feeling to last forever. His need for release overtook him as his thrusts became faster, Gil pulled back, and lunged into her again, his face was flushed and his breathing heavy and erratic his body clench and began to shake as Sara felt the violent, but beautiful, explosion as his release filled her.

Gil moved form atop her and wrapped her in his arms, the Jacuzzi would have to wait just a bit longer, neither of then had the strength to move.
