Ok I am reposting this as another story because I have added a 'M' rated chapter on and may add a few more. On another note….I'm open to taking prompts again now that I'm trying to get back to writing again. Favorites and follows are nice but reviews make the world go 'round ;)

To say that the team from OSP had had a really long, really bad day would be an epic understatement. It's not every day you have to rescue two of your colleagues from a homemade submarine; before it either blows something up or gets shot right out of the water by your own government, who you coincidently happen to work for. At the end of the day it had all worked out, and the three agents their liaison, and one DEA agent walked relatively unscathed back into the bullpen.

Kensi was physically and mentally exhausted, but she wasn't about to admit that to anyone. On a normal day her partner would have noticed and ordered her to go home and relax in a hot bubble bath with some rocky road ice cream, but this wasn't a normal day. It seems to Kensi that her partner is much too interested in Talia DelCampo DEA agent, that much to Kensi's annoyance had accompanied them back to the building after the rescue.

Kensi's jealous; she's finally gotten to a point that she will admit that to herself. Now that everyone is out of danger and her mind isn't occupied with thoughts of rescuing Callen and Sam it's allowed to fill once again with thoughts of Deeks and Talia. That has her green with jealousy. Literally, she feels like she wants to vomit.

Kensi is absolutely sure she's not doing a good job containing the little green monster that inhabits her; she had let herself get dragged into a contest for Deeks' attention earlier that morning. She had resorted to flouncing her hair and unbuttoning her shirt accentuating and flaunting her assets, while that floozy had taken off her shirt revealing much more than she was concealing with that white t-shirt. Someone really should educate her that one should not wear black bras when wearing a thin white t-shirt, but judging from the look on her partner's face it most certainly wasn't going to be him.

Talia is much too perky this evening, and its grating on Kensi's last nerve. The woman seems to be unaffected by the day's events, and much too interested in her partner for Kensi's liking. So when Talia suggests a night out to celebrate being alive, Kensi is the last to answer. Truthfully she's wishing upon stars and praying upon anything and everything that is holy that her partner will decline so that they can spend the evening together decompressing in their own unique way. She is disappointed however when everyone including her clueless partner, thinks that it's a great idea. Callen and Sam whip out their phones to invite Michelle and Joelle to join them.

Kensi reluctantly agrees, but insists that she needs to go home to freshen up first. If she's going out, she's going all out and she's at least going to look good….even if she doesn't feel it. Deeks volunteers to drive her home, so she quickly tosses him the keys to her SRX as she follows him out.

The two senior agents both raise their eyebrows at the gesture, but uncharacteristically say nothing. Talia notices their reaction and thinks that they are reacting to Kensi and Deeks leaving together. She can't help but ask. "Is that…uh is that something unusual….for them to leave together?"

Sam chuckles at the ridiculousness of that question, "Nooo they leave together all the time, what's unusual is that Kensi is letting Deeks drive.

"Oh" is all Talia can muster.

The ride home is relatively silent as Kensi leans her head back against the headrest and closes her eyes. She knows Deeks is watching her out of the corner of his eyes and has noticed him open his mouth to say something several times just to huff out a breath and close it again.

"Spit it out Deeks….whatever it is you want to say, but haven't…just spill it already."

"Oh…uh, yeah so today was…" he stutters in response glancing furtively over at Kensi who had turned fully towards him.

"Awful, horrible, the worst day ever, well maybe not ever…. but pretty damn close? What are you going for here Deeks?"

"Uh…awkward?"

"Awkward? Awkward is the best you can come up with to describe this…this train wreck of a day?"

"Well, yeah, no I wasn't really talking about the whole day…..just the parts with you and Talia…and well that part where you hit me when I called you beautiful…which by the way…I still don't understand."

Kensi huffs and as they pull up to her building she mutters, "I just wasn't expecting it….that's all,." and opens her door to walk up to her apartment.

Kensi fumbles with the keys to her door as she feels Deeks close in behind her. Once she slots the key in the lock and pushes the door open she heads for her room. "I'm going to take a shower and change." She notes that he is carrying his go-bag and directs him to the spare bedroom if he needs to change.

"Yeah, Kens?"

"Uh huh."

"If I'm not out by the time you get done, please come look for me because I think I could literally get lost in all this stuff." He jokes while standing at the door.

"Ha ha..Funny jokes Shaggy." She smiles before she shuts her bedroom door.

"Made you smile though, and that's what I was going for sugar bear!" he speaks loud enough that he knows she hears him.

His suspicion is confirmed when he hears and exasperated "Uggggggg" from the other room.

Kensi takes a quick shower, and finds that she feels much better and quite refreshed. She takes very little time in picking out the sexiest black bra and panty set she owns and putting it on. She lathers on some scented lotion and then sprays on body spray in the same scent. She grabs out the perfect little black dress from the back of her closet and removes the price tag. Tonight she's going to remind Deeks exactly what it is that he's been missing.

Deeks pulls a black long sleeved shirt out of his go-bag and buttons it up over top of his black t-shirt and tucks it into a clean pair of blue jeans. He runs his hands through his hair as he steps out into Kensi's living room and surveys his surroundings.

Oddly enough he notices that she has cleaned up some. The clutter that was present in the living room has migrated to her spare room, and it looks like she has dusted and….."Oh my God…Kensi Blye has vacuumed her floor…with a real vacuum." He is saying to himself when he hears her door close behind her.

Deeks turns to look at his partner and all rational thought ceases. "You…you…. uh….wow…you look….wow." He stammers as he openly stares at her.

She's wearing her hear down and wavy just like he loves it with very little make up, but she doesn't need make up to look stunning. He sees her smooth her hands over the fabric of the little black dress that she was obviously saving for a special occasion. Well admittedly he doesn't know that for sure, but he sure as hell has never seen her wear it. It isn't tight, but it is pretty short. It flows around her and accentuates all of her curves and really showcases those long legs that just will not quit. She's also wearing some crazy sexy black stilettos that make those luscious legs look even longer. As she spins around he peruses her lovely legs from toe up to the hem of that very short dress, had he mentioned that it was very short. It made him want to run his hands up her legs from her ankles up her toned muscular calves, up her decadent thighs and around to firmly grasp her…..

His fantasy is interrupted by her clearing her throat and asking, "Can you zip me up?" She asks coyly as she smiles over her shoulder. She knows the effect that she's having on him; he's making it painfully obvious with the stammering and staring.

He steps hesitantly towards her. The closer he gets she can almost feel the electricity of the attraction sizzling between them. He steps up right behind her, and ever so slowly inches the zipper up. "I had this scenario in mind when I bought this dress, but in reverse, never thought you'd be zipping it up instead of unzipping it." She says playfully. She's trying to be casual about this but her body is screaming at her, her pulse is racing and her breathing is becoming rapid.

He almost growls out "Trust me….that can be arranged; and with you looking like you do, and flirting like you are we may not make it out for drinks tonight."

He finishes gently sliding the zipper up and gently turns her around in his arms. "Kens…"

She runs her hands up the front of his shirt around to his neck and up into his hair as she pulls him in for a kiss that starts out gently but quickly turns passion filled. She feels his hands ghosting down her back and around her sides to rest on her hips before he pulls her in so that she is pressed tightly up against him. "mmmm" She breaks the kiss and leans back to look him in the eye. "Yes?"

Deeks finds himself unable to string together a coherent thought after that mind blowing kiss, much less a sentence. She tastes like strawberry lip gloss and Kensi. She feels…well she feels perfect. He's quickly forgetting all the reasons that he once had for putting their thing on hold. He does however remember perfectly well how happy she makes him and how good he feels when he is with her.

"We should probably go; we don't want to be late." Kensi mumbles after she misinterprets the confusion she sees flash through his eyes.

"Yeah, no…we definitely don't want to be late."
