Doubts

Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo can't let any woman take care of him. Who does she think she is? Always looking at me with doubt in her eyes. Doesn't she know that I would give her the last breath in my body if she would just see me as a man and not her partner. Ziva has set herself up as my protector, doesn't she know that I cannot be the weaker person in a relationship!

When she touches me I come alive, my blood heats, my heartbeat quickens and I break out in a sweat! The time we spent undercover torments my mind with the knowledge of how it feels to have her trembling beneath me! I can't let her know what she does to me until she and I are equal! I am weak! She is strong! Even in love she has control, mind over body. The only way I can keep from falling completely is to hold her off with sarcasm and chauvinistic remarks. I can not hold out much longer. Please God make me strong for her, give me the strength to be her man!

Officer Ziva David gives herself to no man heart and soul unless he is able to accepts her for what she is! She can't believe of all the men in the world this is the one that her heart chose. Everything about him is wrong for her. She usually goes for the strong silent type that are confident and need no ego stroking from her. Tony is in constant need of affirmation from women. He is immature and childlike in so many ways.

Oh, he is very physically attractive with his wide shoulders, lean body and bedroom eyes and that cleft in his chin that drives her wild. Her favorite thing about him is his charming smile but she has seen him use it too many times on other women.

If he would just let her she would be the woman that he needs. But Tony only acknowledges their physical attraction, nothing more.

Even with Jeanne, he only let himself fall because deep down he knew that it would end.

Tony can't take that chance with Ziva as she is his strength and without her he would be….. nothing. So he flirts and teases, pretending that is all he wants………
