His hands had itched. Dammit if they hadn't itched to grab a hold of the firm, toned ass that was bent over the kitchen oven door. It was driving him slightly insane, he had decided. So far he had spent nearly a week undercover with Melissa, sorry Kensi, pretending to be her loving husband and all he had to show for it was a week of tempting torment and a fair few cold showers. She was doing it on purpose, bending over in tight jeans, smacking his ass, jiggling her boobs in those oh so tight tops that Hetti had provided... Ha, it was Hetti's fault that he was in this predicament. He made a mental note to lodge a protest against Hetti's choice of wardrobe for Kensi, but then again, maybe he should really send her flowers.

Sparing a glance across the table at his partner, he not so subtly checked out her latest in a long line of 'fuck me now' outfits. He wasn't the only one admiring the presentation either. He briefly wondered if Kensi was packing, I mean seriously, there were no tell- tale lines anywhere and she really filled that outfit in the best possible way. Finally the other couple left the room so they had a chance to go through their stuff for clues. Nothing, absolutely nothing and yet something was definitely off. He heard noises indicating the imminent arrival of the other couple and froze. They were both out of their seats with no time to get back. Kensi glanced over at the doorway before looking back towards him. She had a determined look on her face that he hadn't seen before. Two steps later, she was grabbing his face and then hot fire exploded in his groin as she locked her lips onto his. Wow this is happening he thought, before blanking out under the onslaught that was the sweet combination of Kensi' lips and hands. Finally he mastered himself enough to start to make a response but just like that it was over, leaving him dazed and wanting to sit down behind a cushion. Their witty repartee and banter had always had him wondering if they had it in them to be more. That kiss had blindsided him, and worse, most probably left Kensi thinking he wasn't interested because he hadn't responded. Or even worse maybe she wasn't actually interested and the gods in their cruelty had bestowed upon him, a one sided attraction. Mentally he pounded his head against a brick wall.

It turned out the couple were hiding an amazing sound-proofed dungeon in their cellar, which looked like it could have been a lot of fun, if Kensi had stuck around that is. She basically dragged him out of there before he could disgrace himself, which was just as well because he could have gone for the whole setup. Well, except for the other couple obviously. Some things are not meant to be shared. So after looking forward to the end of the day, which in reality meant spooning with Kensi, followed by starfish splatting by Kensi. It turned out the case was all wrapped up with the bad guys caught or killed and everyone heading home. He turned to look at Kensi and offered her a goodbye, "Night Sugarbear", which earned him a kill glare as she stomped out of the door heading for home.
