CHAPTER 1

Ecklie is such an ass. I can't believe he is sending us on a camping retreat. Thankfully, Lindsay is spending the weekend with her best friend Molly, so I won't have to scramble to find someone to watch her. When I was growing up camping was fun, but then I got all girly about sleeping outdoors without modern conviences. The only saving grace is that I will be sharing a tent with the lovely Sara Sidle. Sure, it will be torment hearing her talk about her relationship with Nick, but hey, maybe I'll get a peek at some of the goodies in the process. I have tried dating other women, but I end up measuring them up to Sara.

The only good thing about Sara seeing Nick is that she is happy all the time. I just love that sweet gap-toothed smile. So, I'm packing the same time Lindsay is, and I'll drop her off before heading to the lab to see how we are heading for our weekend in the woods. I hope we take two cars, and even if I end up taking Nick and Sara, it will be fine just as long as I don't have to take Greg. I love him like a son, but he can be a little juvenile now and then, and I might be tempted to kick him out halfway there. Linds popped into my room with her bag over her shoulder, "Ready to go Mom?"

I can't believe the relationship I have with Linds now considering how we got here, but after all the Sam drama, we worked harder to be better with each other, and we succeeded. I think her friendship with Sara helped alot with it too. Knowing a little of Sara's past, I think being with Linds brings out the teenage Sara that never got a chance to be a teenager. When I pulled into Molly's driveway, Lindsay gave me a hug and kiss before heading for the house, but not before throwing a 'Have fun' over her shoulder. I wouldn't have read too much into it, but she had that look in her eyes telling me she knew something.

I stopped at my favorite coffee house and got the gang their favorites to at least start the weekend right. I turned the radio on to drown out the voices in my head speculating about what Linds might know. The only problem with the radio was that it seemed to only be playing songs that made me think of Sara which wasn't helping my demeanor any. Oh yeah, this weekend is going to be rough. I pulled into the lot, and when Sara saw me, she ran towards my car. I stopped so I didn't accidently hit her as she opened the door as soon as I stopped.

"Can I ride with you? Greg is already starting, and I might be tempted to strap him to the hood if I ride in the same car," she practically begged giving me the Sara smile I love so much.

"Sure sweetie. Put your stuff in the back while I pass out the coffee and get directions from our fearless leader," smiling before taking the carrier off the seat and heading for the rest of the gang.

"Thanks Cath," Warrick said as I handed him his coffee while passing out the rest and explaining to Gil that we were having gender cars, so I needed the directions.

I handed the directions to Sara when I got back to the car, and she knew where this place was and could get us there quicker, so we could get the 'perfect' spot as she called it. We made a little small talk on the trip there, but nothing personal except I told her that Linds was having a sleepover too which led Sara into talking about Lindsay. It was like I was learning more about my daughter because Sara gets a completely different Linds than I do, and it made me happy, not jealous, that she had someone she could open up to if it was something she couldn't tell me.

We beat the guys by a couple hours, and Sara set up our tent which was good size and surprised me when she set up an air matress that we would sleep on. I was a little embarrassed because I thought Sara was more tomboy than girly girl, but when she built the fire, I realized that she is a mix of both, and it made me love her that much more. When the guys pulled up, Greg jumped out and bowed at Sara's feet. I think he found his perfect woman. I had to laugh when she kicked him in the ass before going over to Nick. They didn't kiss, but maybe Sara isn't big on PDAs. If it was me, I would kiss her every chance I got.

My hope for more time with Sara were dashed when she and Nick went hiking, so I went to our tent to stretch out and relax. I grabbed the mystery book from my bag to read until lunch was ready. I was hoping between Gil, Warrick, and Greg that someone knew how to campfire cook, or we would be waiting until Sara got back. I just kicked off my shoes before starting to read, and I must not have gotten very far because I before I knew it, I felt someone shaking my leg.

"Wake up sleeping beauty, it's lunch time," I heard Sara say as I opened my eyes to find her squating at the base of the bed.

Like lunch, dinner came and went, but we ended up making S'mores which was good until Sara got some marshmallow on her face that I so wanted to lick off her chin. I headed for the 'bathroom' after that with the lantern as the group split, and not surprising Nick and Sara were together. I knew if I didn't get past the fact that Sara is taken, it was going to hurt our relationship, so I decided that I would just be happy that she is happy and hope I could find someone to love me as much as they love each other. As I was coming back, I heard Sara tell Nick loudly that she wasn't going to make a pass at me in the tent when we went to bed.

I could have run up to her and kissed her senseless, but I had a better idea. I made loud enough noises that Nick and Sara got quiet when I sat back down. I sat there a couple minutes before 'yawning' and telling the group I was going to crash. I headed for our tent, and once I was in there, I clicked the lantern off before stripping. I laid in the middle of the bed with my hands behind my head just waiting for 'my' girl to go to bed, and I didn't have to wait long because the tent opened, and Sara gasped loudly when she saw me in all my glory.

"So Sara, do you still not want to make that pass at me," I said smirking waiting to see what she was going to do.

CHAPTER 2

You know the best part about tents, no matter how big they are. It is that you have to squat to get inside, so I'm looking down my naked body at a speechless kneeling Sara Sidle. I sat up putting my body weight on my elbows starting to get worried, "Sara, I overheard your conversation with Nick, so that is why you came into the tent to find me naked. Why don't you zip the tent back up, and I'll get re-dressed."

"Don't you dare," she growled out zipping up both the inner and outer door before turning around and facing me.

"Before you get started, I want to see Sara Sidle, au natural," smirking as she slowly stripped for me. All I can say is her clothes don't do her justice.

After tossing her panties at me, she crawled up the bed until we were face-to-face, "Is this a one stand?" she asked as I shook my head before she wrapped her fingers in my hair giving me a very passion filled kiss. When she pulled away, I saw the hunger in her eyes as she laid me down as she trailed her tongue along my jawline until she reached my ear. The wetness pooled between my legs grew as I felt her warm breath on my neck. I let out a slight yelp as she nipped my lobe before kissing down my neck and across my collarbone. I heard her growl out 'mine' as she left her mark on my chest.

Her kissing stopped when she reached the valley between my breasts. I watched as she took her finger and traced around both my nipples until they were hardened pebbles. What she did next pretty much had me announcing to the guys what we were doing. All I can say is Sara must have great control of her body because it seemed she was sucking on one nipple, rolling the other one with her thumb and finger all the while sliding two fingers deep into my core causing me to scream 'Goddess Sara' out and as her fingers swiped against my inner sweet spot, my body convulsed in an intense climax. I fought hard against the urge to sleep, but Sara grabbed the blanket and covering us before laying her head on my shoulder.

Something was tickling my nose as I woke up. I opened my eyes to see Sara's hair in my face as it all came back to me. Last night was real, but what would the morning bring. I ran my fingers through her hair basking in the fact that I am actually laying in bed, naked, with the woman of my dreams after a night where she gave me the best release I have had in years. The only problem I am forseeing is how the guys take our relationship, except for Nick, who was the one telling Sara to tell me how she feels. When I started stroking my fingers down her back, Sara started to stir.

I was about to give her a good morning, but my stomach beat me to it growling which got a chuckle out of Sara, "So my beautiful girl scout, do you have breakfast for me, or are we eating with the guys?"

She rolled off me giving me a great shot of her ass as she brought her bag onto the bed unzipping it handing me two waters and a bag of trail mix, "I know it isn't normal breakfast fare, but I don't want to share us with the guys yet."

"Suddenly, not so hungry," I said rolling atop of her. Like her, I started with a kiss and left my mark as well. I gave both her breasts tender kisses before caressing them with my hands as I slowly drifted down her body and upon reaching her chocolate curls, I could smell her aroma, and it was intoxicating. She bent her knees and spread her legs giving me more romm as I flattened my tongue to lap up her escaping juices. I brought one of my hands down as my fingers opened her folds earning me a deep moan. I flicked at her clit with my tongue as I thrusted two fingers deep into her core.

Her mantra was of my name was getting louder as I felt her inner muscles start clamping down on my fingers. I quickened the rhythm of my strokes as she grabbed the pillow and screamed out my name in release flooding my mouth and fingers with her delicious ambrosia. I continued stroking her core as her body continued to shudder through her climax. I cleaned us up before crawling back up the bed, "My dear Sara, if we would have only known we both felt this way, things could have been so different for both of us."

Pulling me down for another deep kiss, "Doesn't matter my sexy Cat, we have each other now and can start anew," Sara sweetly said giving me a quick peck on the lips, "Let's eat, so we get build our energy back up to have more tent lovins." And that is what we had. We never left the tent until it was time to leave, and after countless orgasms, Sara's tent had a 'new' tent smell again, and we couldn't have been happier about that fact. Once we had the car loaded back up, Sara turned to me, "So, your place or mine?"

"Whose is closer?" smirking as Sara thought about it.

"Mine, but what about Lindsay," she answered as I smiled knowing Sara IS the one since she is concerned about my daughter.

"She's at her girlfriend's house," I explained before smacking Sara, "One of her friends at school, dirty mind."

----

After spending the night with Sara, we headed to my place to explain our new relationship with Lindsay. I was nervous as hell while Sara was calm as can be. We were cuddling on the couch watching something on the History Channel when I heard a car door shut from outside. Sara wrapped her arms tighter around me as I slowly watched the doorknob turn. Lindsay popped in all smiles which seemed to get bigger at the sight of Sara and I on the couch, "Does this mean you both took your heads from your bums?" at my nod, she continued, "Good, cause Sara I need some help with my science homework."

Like Lindsay, Mom and Nancy loved Sara. Mostly because they knew how I felt, and how could you not fall in love with my beautiful baby, but we hadn't been back to work yet, so at least I was a bit apprehensive of what the guys reactions would be. We drove in together since her car was still there and walked into the break room where the guys were already waiting for us. Nick and Warrick both gave us hugs while Greg took me aside giving me the brotherly threat which I found sweet leaving only Grissom, who had just walked in.

"As long as it doesn't interfere with your work, I am happy for you both."


The End.
