Chapter 15

Sara was still awake when Greg came back; she got up and put some close on and walked into the living room.

"Hello Greg, found your way back" Sara said with a slight grin.

Greg spun around, "shit Sara, you scared me half to death."

"Sorry didn't mean to. Did you have fun?" Sara asked, grinning broadly.

"Yeah, you have some pretty funny friends, well at least until one of Brian's friends started hitting on me" Greg said, shaking his head as images of the night flowed easily into his mind.

Sara started laughing, "Oh… You didn't bring him back with you?" She smirked.

Greg's eyes widen, "Sidle that is so not funny!"

Sara collapsed laughing on the couch, "yes it is Greg, I told you that hair soon or later would get you into trouble."

Greg sat down besides her pouting. "That's not fair it isn't my hair, it was the bar we were at."

"Let me guess, Brian dragged you down to Mix?"

Greg wrinkled his brows, "how did you know?"

"Because it's where Brian goes, it's a gay bar Greg!"

"Dah... Sara; I'm not totally stupid!" He stated unable to keep up a stern glare.

"No? And yet it seems that you always end up in troubles, whenever I'm not beside you" Sara grinned, a wicked gleam in her eye.

"Yeah, and since you know it, I'll say it's your fault, because you didn't came along and protected me. Say where did the two of you go?" Greg said, fixing her with a questioning look.

"We stayed home, we had some things to talk about" she said, her eyes twinkling.

"Yeah… and?"

"We figured it out," Sara replied with a goofy smile.

"Whoa… So the two of you..? Well about time if you ask me!" Greg replied with a good-natured grin.

Sara blushed, "guess I owe you a thanks for persuading her to come along."

"You're welcome, I'm just glad you worked it out" Greg replied honestly.

"So… How are you Greg, and don't give me any bullshit, I want to know?"

Greg sighed, "Most of the time I'm fine, but sometimes I…" he stopped and glanced down at his hands.

"Get scared!" Sara offered, "Is that why you won't go out in the fields?"

"Yes, I get scared, I'm not proud of it but I do. But it's not only that! I miss you, -I miss working with you and you always had an eye on me. Perhaps other people would find it irritating, but it always made me feel safe and protected. It's not, that I don't trust the rest of the team; it's just not the same."

Sara regarded her friend carefully, "Greg. Let me ask you a hypothetical question, what's going to happen, if I decide not to come back?" She said hesitantly.

"Please don't say that," was the only response.

"Greg, I'm not saying anything, but you can't depend on for the rest of your life, that I'll be by your side. I'm not saying that I won't come back to Vegas, but even if I do, there isn't any guarantee that I'll stay forever. What did the counselor say?"

"Not much just that I had to accept that it was randomly that I was the one how had been taken, and that life goes one. I don't know Sara; maybe it will be better, if I just go back and become a lab tech again" Greg said, sighing in defeat.

"Perhaps, if what's what you truly want, but if you're doing it because you're scared, then it will be a big mistake, you will just end up hating yourself." Sara said, trying to keep her frustration from showing.

"What do you suggest? Because I don't know how to get over it and move on" Greg eventually asked.

"Isn't there another one you trust?" Her tone was clearly concerned.

Greg thought for a while. "Yeah… Sofia, but she can be called away in the middle of a scene, so that doesn't help a lot."

"I have one question for you Greg, and I want you to answer me truthfully, do you want to go out into the field again?" The brunette asked him bluntly.

"Yes I do, but I need to be able to do it without being scared, or I can't do my job, properly. Why?" Greg asked hesitantly.

"Well, Grissom likes you, and will go a long way to help you and so will Brass. I think we can persuade them, so you for a while only work scenes where Sofia is present, and that she won't be called away." Sara said, turning slightly to give him a wry smile.

Greg's eyes lit up, "You think it could be arranged?" He said in a questioning tone.

"Yeah, I think so" Sara repeated with a gentle smile.

"Okay," Greg smiled, "just as long, as you don't think it means that you don't have to come back." Greg suddenly frowned.

"What?"

"I don't get it, I thought you and Sofia… you know… kind of was together?"

"We're working on it, so what is it you don't get?"

"Well, it sounds like you are going to stay here for a while longer, and I guess Sofia is going back to Vegas when her vacation is over, so where does that leave the two of you?" Greg asked, his tone was quiet but serious.

Sara sighed deeply, running her hands through her hair. "I don't know Greg, we haven't really talked about it yet, guess we'll just have to see what happen while you're here, and just take it from there."

"Okay, I just hope it works out between the two of you, I think you'll be good for each other. "Well…" he smirked rolling his eyes at the obviousness of the statement, "at least when I can't have you."

Sara rose laughing, "Goodnight Greg, I think, you just got very tired."

Greg got up to chuckling, "Goodnight Sara. Sweet dreams!"

"You to Greg, see you in the morning."

"Yeah, night" Greg replied leaving the room.

The rest of the week went by way too fast for Greg, but soon it was time for him to go back to Vegas. Sofia had called in for two weeks, so she was staying another week.

Sara had done as promised and called Grissom and Brass, they both had agreed to Sara's idea. So Greg would be in the lab until Sofia was back, and then slowly begin to go out and work scenes again.

Sara and Sofia drove Greg to the airport, he hugged them both goodbye. As he disappeared into the gate, Sara turned to Sofia.

"So what do you want to do?"

Sofia wrapped her arms around Sara and kissed her passionately.

Sara smiled, "let me guess, home?"

Sofia just nodded, before kissing her again.

The elevator had barely closed before Sofia had Sara pressed up against the wall, kissing the hell out of her, hands roaming up Sara's torso cupping her breasts. Sara grabbed Sofia's hands and twisted them onto her back; the brunette spun them around and pinned the blonde against the wall. She placed her leg between Sofia's, her thigh pressing against Sofia's groin to hold her in place, she let go of the blonde's hands and placed her own on Sofia's neck, and locked gaze with her.

"Slow down babe, we're not the only one using the elevator!"

Sofia rested her head on Sara's shoulder, "sorry," she murmured, "but I really want you."

"Mmm…" Sara smiled, brushing her lips lightly across Sofia's. "I want you too."

They just made it through the front door before Sofia had Sara pressed up against the door, the blonde pressed her thigh between the brunette's legs while kissing her passionately. A deep groan escaped from Sara's throat.

Sofia let go of Sara's lips to give the sweet neck and throat some attention. Sara tilted her head to give Sofia better access. Sofia let her hands slip under the hem, fingers caressing their way up over the stomach and up to Sara's breasts, her thumbs sliding teasingly slow over the nipples. Sara was slowly rocking against Sofia's thigh; Sofia let her but made sure to keep the pressure light.

Sofia let go of Sara's breasts and removed the brunettes top and bra, she leaned in to kiss Sara again, one hand tormenting her already hard nipple. Sara almost went over the edge, when the blonde replaced her hand with her mouth.

Sofia's hands went under the waistband on Sara's shorts; she untied them before letting them fall to the floor. Her hand gently caressed the brunette's inner thighs. Sofia could feel her arousal getting even higher, when she felt how wet Sara was. She removed Sara's panties along with her own top and bra; she needed to feel Sara's skin against her own. Sara was moaning now.

"Please babe, stop teasing," Sara purred.

"What do you want honey?"

"Sweetie, you know what I want!"

Sofia licked Sara's lower lip, "mmm… tell me anyway," she growled.

"You babe, please."

Sofia let her finger stroke over Sara's swollen clit, which made Sara's hips buck against her hand for more contact. Sofia was so lost in the intensely feeling of Sara's hot body, that she never registered Sara's hand, before two fingers; slide deep inside of her, making her cry out.

Sara bent her hand so her palm was stroking the blonde's clit; Sofia leaned into Sara, her hips working in a steady rhythm against Sara's hand, her own hand all forgotten. Sara put her other hand on top of Sofia's, she started to move their hands forth and back stroking her own clit, she moved their hands further down, and pushed one of Sofia's finger inside of her with one of her own. After a while Sara replaced her finger with one more of the blonde's, she let her hand roam up Sofia's body, until she cupped her breast.

Sara alternately caressed and pinched Sofia's nipples. The pace soon got faster, as both got closer and closer to the edge, both bodies trembling with the need to come. Sara caught her lover's lips; she kissed her hard and deep, making them both groan.

They were thrusting and gasping desperately, both at their breaking points; they finally pushed each other over the edge in perfect harmony, screaming each other's names out aloud.

For a couple of minutes they just hung on to each other, none of them able to stand on their own, their breath was ragged muscles were trembling. But finally they got so much body control; they could grapple to the couch and collapse.

Sara brushed a damp strand of hair behind Sofia's ear, and kissed her gently. "Are you okay?"

Sofia swallowed nervously and raised her hand to Sara's cheek, and smiled. "Yeah, I'm just not use to lose my self-control the way I do when I'm with you!"

"And you don't like that?" She asked cautiously.

"No, please don't think that Sara! I love the way you make me feel, it's.., it's..." Sofia closed her eyes. She didn't know how to explain it.

"Honey, please look at me, it's what?"

Sofia opened her eyes, "please Sara, I don't know how to explain it!"

Sara wrapped her arms around Sofia. "Sof, please try honey?"

Sofia sighed, "It's afterwards, -I feel so embarrassed for… -for the things I say..! For the things I beg for… I'd never done that before" she said, planting a kiss on her cheek.

Sara kissed Sofia, she sucked in her lower lip and nipped on it, letting go she said. "So it would be better, if we don't talk?"

Sofia pulled Sara on top of her, "No! The truth is it turns me even more on." Sofia slowly started thrusting against Sara; "guess, I just have to get use to, that I'm with someone who makes me feel so much, that I want more!" She admitted with a shrug.

Sara gazed into Sofia's eyes. "Sof, you're so sexy when you talk, you make me want you even more, so please don't stop doing it."

"I won't" Sofia groan, "I don't think I could even if I wanted too."

Sara got up on her knees, "turn around baby."

"Huh..?" Sofia just looked confused.

"On your stomach woman," Sara growled.

Sofia turned around slowly, "Uh.., so bitchy," she chuckled.

Sara bent over down with fierceness, and bit the blonde on the shoulder before capturing her ear whispering. "What did you say?"

"Nothing," Sofia snickered.

Sara's hand roamed up and down against Sofia's thighs, making the blonde gasping. She tried to move, getting closer to her lovers hand. But Sara had already seen it coming, so she pressed the blonde further down on the couch.

"Oh no baby, you should have thought about what, before being a smart-ass!"

"Come on honey, you asked for it" Sofia defended herself.

Sara let her hand slide over Sofia's ass, "hmm… maybe I should spank you for that remark?"

Sofia swallowed hard, "you wouldn't..?"

Sara bent down and licked Sofia's ear. "Wouldn't I?" She lifted her hand, and very gently let it fall across her lover's ass.

Sofia gasped, "Fuck Sara!"

Sara kissed and licked the skin; before she playfully let her hand fall one more time which made Sofia moan. Sara kissed the blonde's ass again, and let a finger slide deep inside her. Sofia could feel the arousal burn inside her body.

Sara sat up resting on her heels between her lovers legs, she removed her finger and pulled Sofia up so she was sitting on Sara's thighs, her back resting against Sara front, and her legs outside of the brunettes.

Sara let her hands run up Sofia's torso, her palms brushed teasingly over Sofia's nipples. Sofia's hands covered Sara's, pressing them harder against her breasts. Sara sucked her lover's earlobe into her mouth, nipping on it; she let her mouth and tongue run down Sofia's neck, biting lightly on her way.

Sofia leaned up against her lover and pushed their hands down her body, she needed to feel Sara between her legs.

Sara very slowly let a finger slide inside her lover; she let it slide all the way outside again before repeating her moves. Sofia was moving against Sara's hand, trying to speed up the pace, but Sara kept it teasingly slow.

"Sara, please…"

"What?" Sara smiled against Sofia's neck.

"I need more, baby."

Sara, slide another finger inside but kept going slow. She spread her legs apart forcing Sofia to do the same, making it possible for her to go deeper. "You feel so good," Sara growled, "so hot and wet."

Sofia cried out, "Christ baby, feel so good…"

Sara pulled her fingers out and lightly stroked them over her lover's clit. "You like it?"

"Sara, please stop teasing and fuck me!"

Sara stopped breathing for a moment, "Sof, are you sure?" She questioned hesitantly.

"Yes Sara, please fuck me" Sofia turned her head to give her a shy smile.

Sara bent Sofia over, so she was standing on her knees and hands; she got up on her own knees. Sara roughly slid two fingers deep inside her lover, the other hand was stroking evenly over her lovers clit, making Sofia's breathing growing erratic as Sara pushed against her. Sara's mouth slid across the sweat-covered skin on Sofia's back, leaving love bites on her way, her stroke was hard deep and fast now.

"God, I'm so close, Sar, please more."

"I'm goner make you come so hard," Sara growled adding a third finger.

As Sara felt Sofia's walls clench around her fingers, she curled them and twisted her hand, and it was all it took. Sofia slammed her body into the brunette's hand, and screamed out her name as her orgasm crashed over her. Her whole body was on fire, ever muscle in her body tremor her breath ragged.

Sofia cried out, a low wild sound of sheer pleasure as she rose up on the wave of hot undulating spasms rocking through her.

Sara kept thrusting ruthless into her lover, her hand cover in her lover's fluids; she increased the pressure on the blonde's g-spot, making the orgasm start all over again.

"Sof, come for me." Sara gasped.

Sofia felt her body surge again, the tension growing with every deep stroke Sara pushed into her.

"Sara, baby oh God you feel so good…" Sofia cooed against the cushion, thrilled when her words brought a deep groan from the brunette.

Sara lowered the pace as Sofia ride her orgasm out. Sofia finally fell forward taking Sara with her in the movement. Both collapsed on the couch. It took a while before both was able to breathe normally again, Sofia finally managed to roll around so she was facing Sara.

"Thanks," she said, capturing her hand to bring it to her lips for a kiss.

Sara raised an eyebrow, "for what?"

"For… fucking me," Sofia said looking very shy. "I know you didn't want to!"

Sara leaned over her to watch her face. Pulling her hand free she wiped away some of the sweat, before moving in to kiss her. "It's not that I didn't wanted to Sof, it's just… we are still new and don't know each other's bodies that well, and the last thing I want to do is hurt you."

Sofia kissed Sara very gently. "I know, but I also trust you! I know you would never hurt me."

Sara pulled Sofia closer "I hope not!" She said sweetly, kissing her.

Soon after, they felt asleep in each other's arms.

Sara was the first one to wake up, for a while she just watched Sofia sleep. Just lying there with the blonde, seemed more than Sara's heart could bear without beating faster. Sara kissed her lover gently, before she got up and walked to the bathroom. She started filling the Jacuzzi. She went back to the living room where Sofia had woken up.

"Where did you go? I woke up, lonely!"

Sara hovered over Sofia, "sorry, I just went to the bathroom."

"Mmm… kiss me!" Smiling, she pulled her close for another kiss, running her hands over her body.

Sara bent down over Sofia, but stopped an inch before reaching her lips. "Are we demanding now?" She purred.

Sofia put her hands around her lover's neck, and smiled, "maybe."

Sara let her lips brush lightly across Sofia's before deepen the kiss, making them both moan; she got up and pulled Sofia up to, "come."

Sofia looked confused, "come? Come where?"

Sara took her hand and started walking. "Take a bath with me?"

Sofia smiled, "sure honey, love too."

They lowered themselves into the hot water in opposite direction, resting their heads on the headrest eyes closed; enjoying the massage they were receiving. Suddenly Sofia started giggling.

"What?" Sara kept her eyes shut, but arched a brow as a faint smile formed.

"I was just thinking about Greg, and his bed talk. Now this tub! That, I definitely could bring back to Vegas."

Sara laughed, "Yeah, know what you mean. It was the thing I missed most after moving to Vegas." She opened her eyes as she smiled at their private joke and stretched contentedly. "Sof?"

"Mmm… sweetie" she said, with a gentle smile.

"We need to talk!"

Sofia opened her eyes suddenly very nervous. "Something wrong?" Her voice trembled slightly.

Sara sighed, "I don't know if something is wrong, but I think we need to talk about us, and what's going to happen when you go home, on Sunday."

"Sara, are you ending this? Sofia asked her voice barely a whisper her lips trembling, as she struggled with the tears in her eyes.

Sara quickly took Sofia's hand and pulled her to her. She placed her between her legs and possessively her. "No honey, don't think that! I'm in love with you, and want to be with you! I just can't go back to Vegas right now, and you can't stay. You have to go back to work!"

Sofia snuggled up against Sara; she moved her hand to rest on top of the brunette's, giving it a squeeze. "I know why I can't stay, but why can't you come back with me?"

Sara smiled, "because, I start a teaching job on Monday. Professor Goldsmith called me two days before you and Greg arrived, and since I didn't know then what I know now, I accepted" she explained.

Sofia looked at her, "how long?"

Sara closed her eyes briefly. Taking a deep breath she looked back at Sofia. "Four weeks!"

Sofia sighed softly and gave her a smile, "You're really starting to enjoy teaching, aren't you?"

Sara leaned in and kissed her, "yeah, I really am."

"Four weeks," Sofia whimpered, "I don't think I can survive that long without you!"

Sara was kissing and nipping along Sofia's throat. "No..? I can always call Greg and ask him to entertain you."

Sara's work was starting to get to Sofia; she pressed her body, further into Sara's. "I don't think he has you skills," she moaned.

Sara's hands were roaming over her lover's body, palms teasing nipples. "Perhaps, I should get out of here and start dinner?" She suggested with obvious amusement.

Letting out a small growl and shaking her head Sofia said, "You're not going, anywhere!"

Sara chuckled lightly as she watched Sofia's reaction; her hand went further down and disappeared into the blonde's pussy. "What..? You're not hungry?"

"Oh sweetie, I'm hungry alright," Sofia's head flew back as Sara's finger penetrated her.

Sara chuckled, "You're hungry, but you don't want me to cook?" She added one more finger. "Feel free to explain?"

Sofia groaned," hon… you… know what I… mean."

Sara stopped all movement. "Babe, are you saying, you don't like my cooking?"

"Fuck Sara, please don't stop!"

Sara's other hand roughly pinched Sofia's nipples. "You didn't answer me?"

"Christ baby, I'm hungry for you, not food!"

Sara took her lovers earlobe into her mouth and sucked it. "Then dinner is served!" she purred.

Sara increased her pace and it didn't take long, before Sofia went over the edge. After catch her breath Sofia turned and got up on her knees and gazed into Sara's eyes.

"You are such a fucking tease!" Sofia declared with a low growl.

"Sara snickered, planting an innocent look on her face as she returned Sofia's stare at her. "Honey, I wasn't teasing, I just asked you a question."

"Sure baby!" Sofia's hand went straight to Sara's pussy, where she let two fingers slide deep inside her lover, she lowered her head and sucked in a nipple and let her tongue flick over it.

Sara leaned back, resting on the headrest. "Oh… Sof, feel so good," the brunette moaned.

Sofia let her tongue slide across her lover's lips. "You're so wet!" She said, giving the brunette a knowing wink.

"You're fault!" Sara slurred, looking at the blonde lewdly. "Please Sof, faster."

Sofia smiled, but she continued with her agonizingly slow deep thrusts.

Sara grabbed Sofia's face and forced her to look into her eyes. "Honey, you're driving me insane here, I need you hard and fast so please stop teasing."

Sofia kissed her passionately, and started thrusting hard, deep, and fast, into her lover.

In minutes Sara went over the edge; crying her lover's name out loud. After recovering they got out of the bath; they dried each other off and got dressed. Sara cooked them dinner, before they ended up on the couch watching TV.

"Sof?"

"Mmm... sweetie" Sofia said, under her breath.

"You never told me, how you feel about this separation thing?"

Sofia chuckled, "I blame that on you!"

Sara giggled, "yeah.., but how do you feel about it? Are you okay with it?" She sighed, forcing her mind back to the cold reality.

Sofia gazed at Sara. "No I'm not! I want you in my life every day. But we can't changes the way things are. You can't bail out now, and I can't stay away from work, so we really don't have a choice" she said grudgingly.

Sara pondered, "Well, I'm off every weekend, and maybe if you can persuade Brass to change your schedule, so you could get a weekend off I could come to Vegas or you could come out here. What do you think?"

Sofia kissed her, "I think it sounds like a plan. I would like that."

Sara leaned over and deepened the kiss, she let go of Sofia's lips. "It's still early sweetie; do you want to go out? Or if there are other things, you want to see while you're here?"

"Going out sounds fine, where are we going?"

"I have a friend who owns a bar; she would love to meet you."

"Sounds good, like to meet your friends, they are so funny."

They got redressed and went down to the Crow Bar. Diana came over the minute they walked inside, and hugged Sara.

"Hi Miss Investigator nice to see you again" Diana greeted them.

"Hello Diana, nice to see you too, this is Sofia," Sara smiled. "She's from Vegas!"

"Hello Sofia and welcome, so guess, there were other people in Vegas than Grissom, and definitely better looking" Diana smiled humorously.

"Hello Diana, nice to meet you," Sofia smiled affectionately before gazed at Sara, "want to explain?"

Sara rolled her eyes, but she gave her a good-natured smile of her own, "nah.., she's just stupid." She placed her hand on Sofia's back, and led her to the bar. "What do you want to drink?"

"Just a beer," Sofia replied.

"Two beers, and whatever you want," Sara ordered.

They stayed at the bar for a couple of hours talking with Diana. When they came outside, Sara asked.

"So, want to go somewhere else? Or do you want to go home?"

Sofia intertwined her fingers with Sara's. "If you're not too tired I want to go some place where I can dance with you."

Sara smiled. "I'm not, and I would love to dance with you too. Let's go to the Mix then."

Tbc…
