Gil woke up, finding Catherine lying in front of him. "God, what a night" he thought to himself. "What a fantastic night." A smile appeared on his face when he recalled the "adventures" he had with Catherine in the last eight hours. They started their lovemaking on her couch, they had a "pit stop" in the kitchen and finally ended in her bedroom. He already knew that she was a passionate woman, but what she showed him last night was beyond his expectations. He was afraid that he wouldn't keep up with her or that he couldn't satisfy her, but he knew now that he didn't have to worry about that any more. With her passion she brought him to a higher level of lovemaking. He felt like such a man! She loved him. This beautiful, smart, wonderful woman loved him. The smile was still on his face and it probably would stay there for the next days......

Catherine turned around and was now facing him. She was still asleep. Gil looked at her and he couldn't stop himself from touching her. He didn't want to wake her, but on the other hand......

"Mmmhhh." Catherine quietly moaned under Grissom's delicate touch. Catherine wasn't sleeping exactly. She had her eyes closed, but she wasn't sleeping. She recalled last nights events. Gil was such a great lover and his skills were getting better every time they had made love. She couldn't help but smile a little when she thought back on the look on Grissom's face. Oh, he was so happy with himself. He definitely wore her out last night. The insecurity he showed her earlier that evening was gone immediately after the first time they made love. Instead, he got this attitude that he was invincible, that he would take no crap from nobody and that Catherine only had to ask and they would go for another "round". But Catherine went KO after round five. The only thing she wanted after that was to get some sleep. When she made it clear to him that she was tired, he gave her a triumphant smile. She only could raise her eyebrows and thought that when it came to sexual skills, Gil didn't react much different than any other man. "Men" Catherine sighed. But she knew Gil wasn't like all men. She crawled up against him and put her head on his chest. He held her tight and kept whispering all these loving words to her. She was asleep in no time.

And now he was touching her again. She thought that he deserved a little punishment after his quasi macho behavior from last night.

Gil still stroked her body and he almost reached her most delicate parts.........

"Mmmmmmm, oh yes...........please Marc......go on," Catherine responded.

Gil stopped his stroking immediately and Catherine opened her eyes quickly, because she didn't want to miss Gil's reaction for a million things in the world.

"Marc??????" Gil said the word like it was a swear word. He frowned and didn't know what to think for a second. He was about to start getting really angry when a smile broke on Catherine's face which said it all.

"Sucker!" Catherine called him.

Gil tried to grab her, but Catherine was much quicker. She got her pillow and smacked him so hard, that for one second she thought she might have really hurt him. But from under her pillow she heard his laughter. He took the pillow from his face...

"Oh you....when I am done with you Cath." Gil hadn't stop laughing though.

Catherine sat on her knees and had this provoking look on her face.

"Scared of you!!!!!!!" Catherine responded.

"That's it!"

Gil got up quickly and tried to reach for Catherine who was already making her way out of the bed. But he got hold of her ankel's just before she could escape. He pulled at her ankle's and hauled Catherine in like she was some sort of big fish. And what a big catch she was.

"So, where do you think you're going?" Gil said when he settled himself on her back.

"I guess....nowhere?"

"Correct answer!"

He start tickling her immediately and Catherine's laughter must have been heard through out the whole State of Nevada!

Her laughter was so contagious that Gil couldn't help it but started to laugh just as hard.

"Ooohhhooo Gil" Catherine tried to say something.

"Oooohho, this is soooohh mean" she finally produced some kind of sentence.

"This is mean?? No Cath, playing with a man's feeling, now that's mean!" Gil said and he let his firm grip on Catherine loosen for just a second. That was all she needed. Catherine turned around so quickly, that before Gil could respond, he was already flat on his back. She jumped on him. Knees on his arms and her legs tight around his hips. Grissom seemed to surrender to her.

"You're such a wimp Grissom."

"You didn't call me that last night," Gil said and he chuckled. "As I recall, you just shouted out my name!"

"Is that so?"

"Uh huh!" Gil nodded

"You're really happy with yourself, aren't you Grissom? Just because I felt tired after five times, you think I can't keep up with you?"

"Uh huh!" Gil nodded again.

"Did it ever occur to you that I haven't had a decent sleep in weeks now because of the problems we had and maybe that's what was killing me last night?"

"Uhhh, well..."

"You're good though, I give you that. And we're going to have many more rounds Gil, I promise you that!"

"Maybe this is a good time to try again?" Gil asked and looked her deep in the eye.

"No, it's not Gil."

"Oh," he said with a little disappointment in his voice.

"You see, it's payback time," Catherine said.

Now it was her turn and she started to tickle Grissom. If there was one thing he couldn't stand, then this was it. Within a couple a seconds his body and mind went their separate ways. Her tickling and his laughter turned his muscles into jelly. His mind was working overtime to make her stop from doing this to him. Catherine still held him in a firm grip and her cries of laughter made him even laughs more.

"Stop Cath, pleaaaaassse stop!" He couldn't take any more. His body was weak.

"Pleaasse Cath, I'm sorry. Pleeaasse stop.... " Gil begged Catherine.

After hearing his plea she stopped and looked her man lovingly in his deep blue eyes.

"You're sorry?" Catherine asked.

"Yes," Gil answered.

"For what?"

"Uhhh, for.. I.............I just."

"You just said that to make me stop? Didn't you Gil?"

"Oy, this means trouble," Gil thought to himself. "How do I get myself out of this situation," he thought again.

"Attack, that's the best defence." Before Catherine could question him again, he gathered all his strength and threw Catherine of him. He had lots of strength left, because Catherine flew off the bed and landed on the floor.

Gil went after her, but she got away and ran out of the bedroom. Gil chased her through the whole house. When Catherine ran into Lindsey's room, she stepped on a car that belonged to Ken and Barbie. Her leg made a really strange move and before she knew it, she heard a nasty crack followed by her own scream of pain.

"Ow"

"Darling, what's wrong?" Gil wasn't far behind her but he missed her accident. After all the tricks she pulled him, he also didn't know if she was fooling him again. But the moment she spoke and saw the pain on her face, he knew that she wasn't joking.

"Ooow, I think I broke my ankle Gil."

"Jesus Cath, lay still. I'm going to check on your ankle, okay."

"Yeah," she grinded through her teeth.

Gil carefully took her foot, which Catherine rewarded him with an angry look.

"Gil, maybe a doctor is a good idea?"

"No, no....just relax. You just say stop when it hurts, okay."

"Stop."

"I haven't even started yet Catherine. Come on, work with me!"

"I'll do my best Grissom, but it really hurts and I heard a cracking sound."

"That doesn't mean your ankle is broken Cath. By the look of it, I don't think it is. You wrenched it good, but I don't think it's broken. But to know for sure, I'm going to take you to the hospital for some X-rays. Let me help you to get up."

Gil sat beside Catherine and let her throw an arm around his neck. He swooped her off the ground into his strong arms. He carried her downstairs.

"We are way to old for this shit, Gil. I mean, having sex five times in one night, fighting in bed and chasing each other through the whole house. At our age, we shouldn't be doing this!"

"Well Cath, you said WE are too old, but I only see one person having problems with it and it's not me!" Gil laughed.

"Gil Grissom, the moment I can stand on my feet again, you will pay for this." Catherine responded.

".....scared of you!!"
