"Wait." I gasp, as I tear my lips away from Sara's insistent mouth. She doesn't seem to hear me though because she leans in to kiss me again, I find myself moving forward to meet her until my brain reminds me why I stopped the kiss in the first place.

"Sara wait." I repeat, moving my hand to her shoulder, stopping her movements. She registers my words this time and looks at me.

"What's the matter?" She questions. Her eyes darting between my eyes and mouth, really making me wish her lips were on mine again.

"Sara this can't happen." I tell her, as I take a step back from her, putting some distance between myself and temptation, even though every single cell in my body is screaming at me, insisting I'm a fool.

She runs her tongue across her top lip and I whimper. She is so unbelievably sexy.

"Yes it can." She husks, moving her hands to my hips and pulling me to her. "We both want it." She adds as she leans in to gently kiss my neck. A groan escapes my lips. And before I realise I've tilted my head to the side, giving her more skin to explore. My body having once again played the traitor.

"God...Sara stop." I use my last bit of will-power to stop us doing something that could irreparably damage our friendship. Once again taking a step away from her.

"We can't do this." I try to reason, she doesn't look convinced.

"Yes we can. I bet we'd be oh so good at it too." She drawls, the sexiest smirk I've ever been witness to gracing her lips. Good God. I inwardly groan as my body tells me it would very much like to test her theory.

I pull away from her and head towards the door of my office, needing to get away before this gets out of hand.

"I'm sorry Sara, I just can't do this." I tell her, then turn and leave, willing myself not to looking back.

She only came in to see if I wanted to go to breakfast, since shift was over. I'm not exactly sure how we got from breakfast invitations to full body groping within five minutes. Then again, I can't say I'm surprised it happened. The sexual tension between us has been almost visible these past few weeks.

I only get halfway home when my phone starts ringing. It's Sara. I don't answer it. I know it wouldn't take much to convince me to go back to her, and that's just not a good idea.

Once I get home my phone bleeps at me, telling me I have voice mail. I know it'll be Sara, so I pick up the phone to listen to it, wondering what she has to say.

'Hey. I know why you ran, you're scared.' I shiver as her voice washes over me. It's still husky; she must have called before even leaving my office. 'You don't have to be. But it's okay, I'm not giving up till I have you'

I snap my phone shut and groan. I'm doomed. There is no way I'm going to be able to resist any type of onslaught from her. Why can't she see that this is a bad idea?

As I climb into bed I decide I'll have to try to talk to her later, make her see sense.

I wake an hour earlier than usual for work. Grabbing my phone from my night stand to take it off silent, I see I have a missed call from Sara and another voice mail. I remember she said she wasn't giving up. Seems she's being true to her word.

'Hey. I know you're probably asleep right now so I thought I'd leave you a message. I can't sleep. I'm in bed right now, thinking about you, I wish you were here with me.'

I'm never going to survive this. I wish I was there with her too. I'm sure I could come up with one or two ways to tire her out. Okay brain, we're not going there.

'I keep thinking about how good you feel, how your body feels against mine. How much I loved kissing you, you have the sexiest mouth you know. I'm thinking about how I'd feel as you kissed your way down my body, God Catherine, I want you so much, you have no idea what you do to me.'

I snap my phone shut as I feel my whole body shiver at her words, at the positively salacious tone of her voice as she spoke them. I think if I'd have been standing up, my knees would have buckled. With a groan I drag myself out of bed and head for a shower, a cold shower.

I get to work early tonight, usually I'd be spending my free time with Lindsey but she's away with the school this week so I have nothing to distract me from how badly I want a certain co-worker of mine. I'm sitting in the break room reading when Sara gets in, fifteen minutes before shift starts. Her sexy smirk returns the instant she sets eyes on me, how the hell am I meant to resist this woman?

I figure now is as good a time as any to talk to her, make her see that we can't do anything that might affect work, so I ask her to join me in my office. We walk there in silence and I feel her eyes on me with every step I take.

Closing the door behind herself she turns and starts walking towards me. I figure I best start talking now because if she gets any closer I might not be able to.

"Sara we need to sort this out, we're colleagues as well as friends and if anything..."

"Did you get my messages?" She cuts me off, taking another step, closing the distance between us. I can feel the heat from her body she's so close.

I nod mutely, not trusting my voice right now. Shifting my gaze around the room, trying not to look at her, knowing if I do, I'll give in the to overwhelming urge I currently have to kiss her.

She steps into me, placing her hands on my hips, moving them slowly upwards. Oh god. Leaning in to husk into my ear. "I meant what I said, I'm not giving up. You're scared, scared it will affect work, and you think this is just physical for me. You need time to realise it's not. Take all the time you need Catherine, because I'm not going anywhere."

Her hands move farther up and I hear myself moaning as her thumbs brush the sides of my breasts. My eyes close as my body orders me to focus on her touch; I cling to her hips for dear life as arousal washes over me.

"I'd love to throw you on your desk and take you right now." She purrs, nipping my ear lobe. "Or just slide my hand into your pants. I know you want me just as much as I want you. And God do I want you. "

She's right, and the way I feel right this second, I would let her. In fact, I think I'm fast approaching the point of begging her to do just that.

"But this isn't about just that. I want all of you. When you're ready for that. I'll be waiting." She cups my face as she finishes talking and leans in, giving me a gentle kiss.

When I open my eyes I'm alone in my office, leaning heavily against my desk, breathing hard. Well, so much for talking her out of this.

It takes me a good ten minutes of composing myself before I can leave my office. Heading back to the break room to see if we have any cases yet I bump into Nick and Greg as they head out, Gil and Warrick are already on a case. I pray I'm not working with Sara tonight, I'm not sure I could cope.

When I reach the break room and find Sara waiting for me, assignment slip in hand, I figure I best start coping soon.

It's was easier than I thought to concentrate on work, once we arrived at the scene Sara was all business, as professional as always. I could feel her eyes on me though; see the heat in them every time I looked at her. Not to mention how she constantly touched me or brushed past me, pressing her body into mine. How she remained so completely focused and professional while still managing to tease me is a mystery.

With the scene finished, we start packing up so we can get back to the lab, as I'm putting my kit back in the car I feel her behind me. Having worked so closely with her all night, fighting the urge to pin her to a wall, I have neither the energy nor the will needed to fight my body's reaction to her. So when her hand comes to rest on my hip I lean back into her with a sigh.

"You look so sexy today." She whispers into my ear before moving my hair and kissing my neck. The action turns into gentle sucking as she reaches my pulse point. God that feels good. Kisses are trailed up my neck, only stopping her actions to husk into my ear. "Do you taste this good all over? I can't wait to find out."

She lets me go and gets into the car. Leaving me breathless and seriously turned on. This woman is not good for my health.

I had been a little worried about working a case with her, but I'm reassured that we were professional, obviously we're both aware of the need to keep whatever is happening between us out of work. Our concentration cannot be affected by this.

I've been thinking about what she said all shift, she wants more than casual, she isn't looking for a fling with me. I had assumed that was all it would be, hence my apprehension, but now the possibility of more is there I can't help want to explore it, to see where it might lead. The thought of having her in my life is a very pleasant one.

I decide to try to talk to her after shift, maybe even see if she'd like a date but I don't get the chance as she's called in to help Gil and Warrick with something. Damn their bad timing. It's my night off tonight so I'll be waiting even longer to speak to her. Heading home, I decide to give her a call later, ask her to meet me for breakfast after her shift.

When I wake I once again find a voice message from Sara. I debate not listening to it, after the affects of the last one, but curiosity gets the better of me.

'Hey beautiful. I hope you've been thinking about what I said. I've done nothing but think about you all night. It's your night off tonight isn't it? I hate when it's your night off, I miss you so much when you're not around. I don't think you realise just how much you affect me.'

I smile at her words; it makes me feel amazing to have her say things like that about me, to have her feel like that about me.

'Everything you do turns me on.'

I hear her whimper into the phone as she finishes, then listen in absolute amazement as she continues talking.

'Jesus Catherine.' She gasps. 'A simple look from you makes me weak in the knees. You make me so wet for you, I can't wait to watch you come for me.'

It's my turn to gasp now; she has set my whole body on fire. Her words were interspersed with slight moans and whimpers and the images those noises have put in my head are positively sinful.

Trying to calm my raging hormones I decide enough is enough, she's pushed me to breaking point and I think it's time I turned the tables. This being my night off, I have a little time to compose myself and put my plan into action.

So, anyone for part 2?

Thanks for reading.
