Sara wasn't too pleased with Sherrie for pulling that trick, but she'd deal with that later. Right now it was time to get Catherine up to her apartment. Sara led the way upstairs and Catherine followed all the while watching Sara's ass as it moved up the stairs. Maybe I did need that energizing breakfast, Catherine thought to herself. Sara unlocked the door and led Catherine inside the apartment. Catherine noticed elements of work here at Sara's place. Forensic journals, gun magazines, a police scanner. The girl never quits working, she thought. Sara set her keys on the table by the door and noticed Catherine giving her place a look over. It's a damn good thing I cleaned up earlier. I knew she'd take a look around the first time she came here. "So, you want the ten cent tour?" Sara said with a smile. "Sure." Catherine returned the grin. "But I think I can pretty much see everything from here." "Ah not everything. See if you walk down this hallway here," Sara lightly pulled Catherine along with her down the only hallway in her apartment, "you find the bedroom, the bathroom, the laundry space, and my `office'." "Office?" Catherine asked. From as far as she could tell, the police scanner and magazines in the front room constituted her office. It didn't really look like Sara spent all that much time in her apartment anyway. Sara opened the door to her `office' and explained, "Technically it's a two-bedroom apartment, but I don't need a roommate and I don't have a desk, so this is the room where I put all the gym equipment. This is where I do my work. Or workouts. I have a tendency to come in here and blow off steam. Keeps me in shape and it prevents me from having to take anger management counseling." Sara said with a smile. The room was kind of small, but it may have just looked that way. From the amount of equipment in the room, Catherine guessed Sara could start her own mini-gym. Free weights lined one wall while various machines filled the room. Off to one side there was what looked to be an area for yoga, complete with a soft floor mat. Curiously, there was also an expensive looking stereo system in the room. Catherine realized that the more time she spent with Sara on a personal basis, the more new things she learned about her. Catherine knew Sara used the gym at work, but she had no idea that Sara had basically all the same equipment at her own place. They walked back down the hall and Sara opened the door to both the bathroom and the bedroom. "There's not much to the place, I know, but its home." "Looks to me like it has all the essentials a person needs. Kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. All a girl really needs." As Catherine said this she grabbed Sara's hand and pulled her into the bedroom. Sara was surprised at the move and on reflex almost resisted. But as her brain processed the room she was headed towards, she gave up all thought of resistance. Catherine pulled a willing Sara into her arms and kissed her. Her hands roamed up and down Sara's back finally settling on her toned ass. With both hands, she pulled Sara closer to her. Sara, meanwhile, wrapped both of her hands in Catherine's hair, gently massaging Catherine's scalp while making sure Catherine wouldn't be able to pull away from their kiss. They stood like that for many minutes, enjoying the feel of each other through their kiss. Catherine moved her hand from cupping Sara's ass to pulling her shirt out of her slacks. Soon both of Catherine's hands were under Sara's shirt and her touch was electric. Catherine gently rubbed the skin on Sara's back sliding her hands closer and closer to the clasp of Sara's bra, eliciting soft moans from Sara. Catherine's hands reached their destination and after Sara's bra was unhooked, Catherine stretched out her hands across Sara's back and her thumbs just barely brushed against the side of Sara's breasts. Sara groaned in response and broke their intense kiss. "God, but you're good at that." Sara bent her head and placed tiny kisses along Catherine's neck as she whispered. "I could kiss you all night." Sara paused to gently suck on at the dip in Catherine's neck where the skin and muscle meet the top of the sternum. Catherine let out a slight moan at the pressure on the sensitive skin and it only caused Sara to suck a little harder. Sara slowly began unbuttoning Catherine's blouse. She could remember having done this very same thing just a few hours ago. Now, however, she could take her time. And she had every intention of doing just that. With every button she undid, Sara moved her lips across Catherine's body. From her neck she moved across Catherine's shoulders and back to her neck. Up and down her neck, she flicked her tongue across Catherine's ear and was delighted to hear Catherine immediately suck in her breath in a hiss of pleasure. Catherine worked her hands around to the front of Sara's breast. Her fingers dug under the material of Sara's now loose bra and lightly played with Sara's hardened nipples. Sara moaned her approval into Catherine's ear sending bolts of desire straight down Catherine's spine. Sara opened Catherine's blouse and gently lowered it off of Catherine's shoulders. Catherine's hands were still inside Sara's shirt and Sara had to pull back and remove them. She instantly missed the touch. Sara slipped Catherine's blouse the rest of the way down her arms and her bra followed. Catherine reached out to Sara and Sara knew what she wanted and quickly removed her own top and bra. Standing here, topless in front of Catherine, Sara felt a surge of desire as she saw the pure lust in Catherine's eyes as they looked her over. Knowing how bad Catherine wanted her fueled her fire. Sara bent down and kneeled on the floor in front of Catherine. She steadied Catherine's arms on her shoulders and picked up Catherine's feet one by one to remove her shoes. As far as Sara was concerned, every part of Catherine was gorgeous, and her feet were no exception. Her mind absently thought that Catherine's beauty really should be illegal. How can one person be so perfect? Sara, still on her knees, inched closer to Catherine and reached up to remove her slacks. She unbuttoned Catherine's slacks and unzipped them almost agonizingly slowly. Catherine's hands were absently playing in Sara's hair as Sara hooked her thumbs inside Catherine's slacks and slid her hands around to Catherine's ass. She pulled Catherine's slacks slowly down Catherine's backside letting her hands touch every inch of the satin covered muscles. Catherine steadied herself as Sara once again lifted her legs one at a time to remove her slacks completely. Catherine stood before Sara clad only in her sexy red satin bikini panties. Sara could feel her pulse throbbing in her own panties. The tip of her nose was mere centimeters away from Catherine's heat. The scent of her arousal was slowly driving Sara wild. Without removing the panties, Sara brushed her lips across Catherine's mound feeling the wetness. Catherine's hands dug into Sara's hair in an attempt to keep her balance. She was getting seriously weak in the knees. Sara leaned forward and tongued Catherine's bellybutton, hooking her thumbs in Catherine's panties like she had done with her slacks. Focusing her attention on Catherine's abdomen, Sara kissed and licked Catherine's skin as she slowly pulled the satin panties just below Catherine's ass. Sara's hands fondled the round globes as her mouth placed kisses through the newly exposed curls. Catherine's hands were practically shoving Sara's head closer to her wetness. Sara held on tight to Catherine's body and let her tongue search out Catherine's hardened clit. The red panties were only halfway down her thighs, and Sara left them there, to keep Catherine's legs from being able to move too far apart. Sara flicked her tongue across Catherine's clit and increased her hold on Catherine, pulling her close. Catherine was still standing, with only Sara as her support while Sara continued her assault on the tight bundle of nerves. Sara's lips sucked on the nub and Catherine screamed out in orgasm as Sara sucked Catherine's clit into her mouth and her tongue flicked across it one more time. Sara held onto Catherine, whose legs were shaking and silently hoped Catherine hadn't managed to scalp her with the force she pulling on Sara's hair. Sara slipped Catherine's panties all the way down her legs and helped Catherine step out of them. She stood and moved the two of them to the bed, where she let Catherine lay down and catch her breath for a minute. "Jesus Sara, that was…Oh God." Catherine's words were interrupted when Sara slipped two fingers inside Catherine's very wet sex. Sara gently rotated her fingers to find that secret and elusive spot while the rest of her crawled up the bed. With her fingers moving at a slow pace inside Catherine, Sara's mouth attacked Catherine's breasts licking and sucking on her hard nipples. "Oh god, oh god, oh Sara," Catherine screamed as she came a second time. Sara slowed the movement of her fingers even more, still enjoying the feel of Catherine as her orgasm pulsated through her. When she was sure Catherine had come down from her high, she removed her fingers and cleaned the juices off of them with her tongue. Catherine pulled Sara into a tight embrace and kissed her leisurely. When they parted Sara lips were slightly swollen from their kiss. Catherine traced her fingers along the edge of Sara's swollen lips and the brief touch sent goose bumps down Sara's whole body. Catherine continued the light touch and let her fingers lightly trace down Sara's neck. Sara was lightly humming her approval of the delicate touch. "Sara?" Catherine whispered to her. "Hmm yeah?" Sara seemed distracted by Catherine's light touch which was slowly moving towards her breast. "Well. It's just. Wow." Catherine was having some trouble putting to word just how fantastic she felt. "Okay. That was absolutely amazing." "But…" Sara could tell that Catherine had more on her mind. "But," Catherine said as she leaned over and placed her lips on Sara's neck, "You are still wearing clothes. And I guarantee this next part will be a lot more fun if you're naked." Catherine's hand was roaming down Sara's stomach toward her pants. "Hmm. More fun?" Sara asked as she pulled away from Catherine and stood at the edge of the bed. Sara had decided to make a little show out of this for Catherine. She turned and left Catherine with only a view of her backside. She turned her head back to Catherine and asked, "Promise?" Sara unbuttoned her pants and slid them just far enough down to expose the top of her underwear. Seductively she bent over just a bit revealing a black thong as she slid the pants down her legs. At first Catherine wasn't sure what Sara was up to. But she practically growled in animal hunger as she watched Sara slip out of her pants. Catherine moved to edge of the bed and placed her hands on Sara's thighs. She lightly rubbed her hands up and down Sara's legs and whispered up to her, "Oh yeah. I promise." Sara nearly jumped out her skin when she felt Catherine's lips on her ass. Catherine was lightly kissing every piece of skin that wasn't covered. And Sara thought it might have been the most erotic thing she ever felt. Catherine's fingers slipped into the edges of Sara's underwear and gently pulled them off Sara. Catherine stood and wrapped her arms around Sara's waist. She nuzzled the back of Sara's neck and placed kisses along her shoulders. She stopped abruptly when she reached a nasty red mark and its surrounding bruise. "Sara?" Catherine said concern rising in her voice. "What is this?" Sara turned around in Catherine's arms and looked directly into her eyes. She could tell that Catherine had no memory of how the mark got there. "Hmmm. Well, you remember at work today when you pulled me into your office?" Catherine merely nodded. "And things kind of got carried away and we ended up having sex against your desk?" Catherine's face flushed at the memory. "Well, you kind of bit down on my shoulder when you came." Sara's face had a big grin on it. She remembered well and the lasting mark didn't bother her one bit. It was kind of like a constant reminder of the passion she, and she alone, had inspired in Catherine. "God Sara. I'm sorry.' Catherine almost looked embarrassed at what she had done. Sara leaned forward and, remembering an old trick, traced her tongue along Catherine's ear. "It's okay baby. It doesn't hurt. Much." She whispered in Catherine's ear. Sara pulled back and leaned in to kiss Catherine, as she let her hands roam across Catherine's back and down to her ass. She pulled away and grinned at Catherine. "Besides, I think you promised me more fun." Sara pushed their bodies together and Catherine offered no resistance and the two of them fell onto the bed. Catherine soon reversed their positions so that Sara was pinned to the bed beneath her. Catherine kissed Sara and felt Sara's hands pulling her closer. Sara's held Catherine close as they roamed freely across her back. Catherine continued to kiss Sara as her hand searched out Sara's center. Catherine slid her fingers up and down Sara's outer folds. Sara wanted more contact and thrust her hips upward. Catherine giggled into their kiss and pulled her lips away from Sara. She continued lightly stroking Sara's mound, but was not yet willing to give in to Sara's need. Catherine reveled in the feel of Sara's skin against her lips. She pressed her tongue against one of Sara's hardened nipples and Sara's back arched pushing more of her breast into Catherine as Sara groaned low in frustration. Catherine was teasing her and as much as she enjoyed it, she wanted release. Catherine continued her teasing, only occasionally slipping a finger or two inside Sara. Each time, Sara would moan in delight and Catherine would remove her fingers again. "Catherine please? C'mon. I want you. Please." Catherine knew that was it. Once Sara begged, Catherine wouldn't be able to deny her. She slipped two fingers inside Sara and began pumping them in earnest. She whispered into Sara's ear, "Cum for me baby." Sara loved it when Catherine talked even the slightest bit dirty and she thrust her hips into Catherine's hand faster and faster. She came, screaming Catherine's name when Catherine once again placed her lips on Sara's aching nipple. Catherine gently removed her fingers and placed a light kiss on Sara's lips before curling up next to Sara, waiting for her to return to her senses. She absently stroked the skin on Sara's stomach. Sara couldn't decide if she liked the gentle touch, or if it tickled her too much to let Catherine continue. In the end, she decided that Catherine would need to stop. She grabbed Catherine's hand and asked, "Why is it that when we have sex, it ends with you tickling my stomach?" Sara rolled on her side so that Catherine could see that she was teasing her. "You know what? I'm not really sure. I think its two things really. One, I love touching you." Sara waited for the second reason, and when it wasn't forthcoming, she prodded, "And?" "And you're dam sexy wearing nothing but a smile." Catherine grinned wildly noticing Sara's slight embarrassment. "Oh really?" "Yeah, really. I mean look at you. All tone and definition. Tight muscles, slightly tanned skin. I never would have guessed you looked this fantastic underneath all those clothes. Better than in my dreams." Catherine admits. "It's no wonder all the guys at work have the hots for you." Catherine kidded. "And here I thought it was sparkling personality." Sara kidded right back. She enjoyed these slight moments of honest humor. "Maybe. But I think most of them just lust after you. Like Greg. He can hardly contain the drool when you're around." Catherine mimicked Greg's slack-jawed appreciation of Sara's form. "You know something? I like it a hell of a lot more when you look at me like that." Sara said as she leaned in for a kiss. Minutes later when they separate Sara is breathing hard and she feels her body flush with heat. She knows the two of them really need to get some sleep. Catherine needs to pick up Lindsey after school today and before she can do that Sara needs to take Catherine back to CSI to get her car. Sleep is definitely something the two of them should be thinking about. As Catherine pushes Sara onto her back and climbs on top of her, Sara knows that sleep is a long way off. ********************************************************************** "Last night I listened to you breathe I like to watch you while you sleep and there's a storm outside But there's a comfort in your voice It brings me silence through the noise that fills my mind" Sarge, Half as far
