I did try to make this chapter work, but then had no idea where to go, so don't know if I'm apologising for doing this or not seeing it through. I just had to reassert the Grissom-ness but couldn't pull it off. Anyway, apologies.


Her hands slid slowly until they reached his waistband when he suddenly pulled back panting, still keeping his body pushed against hers.

"Wait. We both know this would be a mistake."

Sara simply stared at him speechless, barely able to form coherent thoughts let alone a full sentence.

After a moment he continued, "Don't get me wrong, I don't want to stop and I would love to spend the night here, but we shouldn't."

He stepped away from her, trying desperately to regain composure, he sat on the bed and looked away from her. Every cell in his body was screaming to stop be an idiot and go back to here and stay there all night. He forced himself to keep his eyes away so that he would be less tempted to go back to her.

"We still have far too many issues we need to sort out, and me staying here would just confuse things even more, you know it's true."

He heard her murmur in acknowledgment.

"I think it's save to say that you felt something though that time right?" Sara grinned back at him as she ran a hand through her hair.

This time her lips truly were tingling, so was the rest of her, everywhere his hands had been her skin felt like it was burning but she didn't want it to stop.

He smiled at her and headed over to her about to wish her good night, he changed his mind before he reached her, "I think if I'm planning to leave I ought to leave now" he muttered before walking out of the door and back to his room.

Sara couldn't help keeping the grin in place as she returned to her bed. He was right, and she knew he was right, and while she wished he wasn't there was no way that kiss hadn't been leading somewhere.

She hadn't even made it back to her bed before there came another knock on the door, her grin spread wider as she made her way to open it.

She looked at Grissom for a second as he stood there looking slightly embarrassed. "You know, I don't have to go back to my room."

Sara didn't even reply she just grabbed his waistband and pulled him towards her, kissing him hard and pushing the door shut behind him, she pushed him against the door as she tried to lock it.

Grissom suddenly twisted them around held her against the door like she had been a few moments before and began fumbling with the lock himself until it clicked when his hands resumed their wanderings yet again.

In between kisses murmuring, "I really should leave again."

"You should" Sara replied, still allowing her hands to roam over his chest.

"This is a bad idea" he said as he kissed his way down her neck

"It really is" Sara murmured before gasping as his hand found her breast

"This can only make things worse" he stated as his looked at her again, he stared at her properly for a moment.

"Screw it" he said quickly before kissing her even more forcefully than before and pulling her closer.
