Picking up the Ashes

Chapter 6

It was Sunday, the end of the week; Sara could finally go home. She had been spending about five to six hours for the past three days with Dr. Chanasyk, Mark. He was helping her walk again. It had been tricky at first for Sara but now she could stand on her own two feet with little support. But in order to really walk, she needed the support of crutches.

Sara sat at the edge of the bed, waiting for Grissom to finish filling out the forms in order for them to leave.

"Okay, I'm done!" exclaimed Grissom, looking up from the clip board on his lap to smile at Sara.

Sara returned the smile, "Great, get the nurse! I want to go!"

"Well isn't someone a little impatient?" teased Grissom.

Sara just stared at him, smirking. She had a right to be impatient; she had been here for the past two weeks. She just wanted to go home to her king size bed and sleep.

"Don't worry," spoke Grissom, coming over to Sara. "We'll be out soon." He leaned in and kissed Sara quickly on the mouth before leaving the room. He had gone to go get a nurse.

Five minutes later, Grissom returned with a young nurse and a wheel chair.

"Oh, I don't need that," protested Sara the moment she laid eyes on it.

"I'm sorry ma'am, its policy!" spoke the nurse, wheeling the chair up to the bed. Sara shot a dirty look at the nurse; her death stare. She didn't know what to be madder about; that she was being forced to use a wheel chair or that she was called ma'am.

Grissom smiled to himself at this as he helped Sara into the wheel chair.

"Oh my gosh! Home sweet home," cried Sara as Grissom opened her apartment door and she stepped inside. Never before had Sara been so happy to see the purple walls of her small apartment.

As Sara made her way over to the couch, Grissom shut the front door. He then came over to where Sara was seated and took a seat. Sara moved her crutches off the couch making more room for Grissom, who took a seat at the end.

Sara scolded him for this, "Why are you seated all the way over there?"

Grissom stared at her blankly. "I don't know," he shrugged.

"Well come and sit by me," she stated with a pout. This was a first time in a long while that she had Grissom all to herself.

Grissom grinned at this and moved over to Sara.

"Is this better?" he asked has he wrapped his arms around Sara's waist and leaned in towards her.

"Very," replied Sara in a low sultry voice, her eyes gleaming with desire. This was the moment she had been waiting for all along to have with Grissom.

The tips of their noses were touching they were so close. Sara placed her hands firmly on Grissom's chest as Grissom tightened his grip around her waist. She then could not take it any more and kissed Grissom on the lips. He welcomed the kiss with open arms and kissed her back. The kiss was filled with passion and desire.

Sara slipped her tongue into Grissom's mouth as she pulled him down on top of her. Grissom's hands worked on the bottom of her t-shirt lifting it up slowly, revealing a lilac cotton bra. Sara ran her hands along Grissom's back, pressing her hips into his.

Grissom broke the kiss and removed the scarf from Sara's neck, revealing her burn mark.

Sara stiffened at this. She was still self conscious about her scar, even if it was only Grissom but he did not seem to notice this. He went right on kissing her neck, running his tongue along the burn tissue.

Sara closed her eyes and let out a moan, "Oooo-oooo-oooo!"

As Grissom continue to attack her neck, she started to remove his shirt, button by button. The shirt was soon on the floor along with Sara's scarf.

Grissom's knees buckled as Sara once again pressed her hips against his. He was aroused by this, she could tell. They soon began to kiss again, making out like teenagers.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door and a call of Sara's name.

It was Greg.

Grissom swore out loud at this as he moved off of Sara and began to put on his shirt. Sara sat up and pulled down her t-shirt. "Just a minute Greg!" she called out.

Grissom gave her a smile as he handed over her scarf and made his way over to the door. Grissom had known that the team would come over and visit Sara; he just didn't think it would be right after shift.

Grissom held his breath as he opened the door; standing outside in the hall was Greg, Nick and Brass. Both Greg and Nick gave him a questionable look at to why he was answering Sara's door. Brass, on the other hand, just smiled at his friend.

Grissom let them all in, avoiding Brass's eye as he passed him. He didn't need his input right now.

"Hey," greeted Sara to the guys from her position at the couch. She had managed to get her scarf on just in time.

It was around eight o'clock when the guys finally left for home before heading off to work. Grissom, who had the night off, would be spending the night here with Sara.

After Grissom had closed the front door, he turned and stared around the tiny apartment and sighed. It was a mess. There were empty food containers and dirty plates every where it seemed.

He then made his way over to the coffee table and began to clean up the mess. As Grissom piled plates and plates in his arms, Sara was lying as still as could be on the couch, fast asleep.

Once the coffee table was cleared, Grissom made his way over to the kitchen, were he loaded up the dish washer. His next task was taking out the garbage.

Once Grissom had returned, he walked over to the couch. He crouched down in front of Sara and lifted her up in his arms.

"Mmmm," sighed Sara, eyes still closed.

"Sh, go back to sleep," whispered Grissom. Sara wrapped her arms around Grissom's neck at this.

He then carried her into the bedroom. The room was dark and damp. It had not been lived in for two weeks now.

Grissom switched on the light and made his way over to the bed. The room had looked the same as Sara had left it. There were clothes and stuff on the floor. The bed was poorly made, like it was made in a rush. Sara had been running late for work and had quickly made it.

Grissom lay Sara down on the bed gently, he stared down at her for a few seconds she looked so peaceful. He then leaned down and gave her a good night kiss on the mouth.

Just as Grissom began to pull away, he felt Sara kiss him back. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him down on her.

Grissom kissed Sara back immediately, swinging his legs over the bed and straddling her. He ran his hands down her body, feeling her curves as he went.

Sara let her arms drop from Grissom's neck and started to travel them down his shirt, unbuttoning it.

Soon the shirt was removed and tossed onto the floor. As they continued to remove each other's clothing, the kiss deepened, tongues dancing about.

Once all their clothing was removed, Grissom began to explore Sara's body with his mouth. Starting at the base of her neck and making his way down.

Sara just lay there and closed her eyes, enjoying his every touch. Grissom kissed every scar and burn mark on her body. As he did so, Sara could feel his erection, hot on her stomach.

Grissom looked up and crashed his lips against hers. He wanted her badly now. Sara arched her back and clasped his curls with one hand, as the other softly ran along his shaft. It flinched at this.

He then took his own hand, which was gently rubbing her breasts, and slid it down her torso and in between her legs. Sara spread her legs open at this.

Grissom continued to kiss Sara passionately as he began to massage her cervix. Sara's hips bucked as he fastened his movements. The kiss was soon broke by Sara, who could not take it any more. A moan escaped from her mouth. "Oh Gil…"

Grissom smiled at this and released his finger from her, it was wet with her.

Just as Grissom was about to enter her, Sara stopped him. "No wait!"

"What? What is it?" Grissom asked, sounding worried.

"No, no, it's just you forgot to put a condom on," replied Sara with a smile.

Grissom flushed with embarrassment at this. "Oh."

"Its okay babe," replied Sara, reaching over to the nightstand and pulling out a box. She took a condom out of it and replaced in the drawer before turning back to Grissom.

A moment later, the condom was on and they were read to go. Grissom positioned himself in between her legs and entered her. Their hips rolled together as one and it wasn't long before they both came to their climax.

Afterwards, Sara curled up beside Grissom and whispered in his ear, "I love you."

Grissom looked down at her at this and kissed her. The kiss was long and sweet. A few moments later they were both sound asleep.
