Author's note: Prompt: Tony's face in 'Caught on tape' when Abby asks Kate if she's ever slept with a friend before. Written for Cassy as a prize on NFA Hangman game about four years ago. Tabby pairing. Written a long time before movie of the same name came out.
FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS
"Please tell me you have something better than that, if you truly expect me to sleep with you tonight." The woman said giving the man a smile for his effort.
"Of course. Let me buy you a drink." The charming man said not at all dejected by her attitude.
"A start." She said nodding her approval. "Now what can I call you?"
"It's Anthony DiNozzo. Call me Tony." He said charmingly, putting his hand out, and giving her a closer look of his designer suit.
"Abby." She said extending her hand. That is when he got a look at two more tattoos.
"Let me start over." Tony said. "You are definitely the most dashing woman in the whole room." He said looking over her dress. It was all black, with a tight corset waist and extremely short skirt.
"Thank you."
"So, what do you do?" He asked between kisses as she pushed open the door to her apartment.
"Do you really care?" Abby asked, pushing him down onto her bed.
"Um… no. I just thought… never mind." He added, removing her dog collar to get better access to her neck. "Abby?"
"What?" She asked, wondering if he always talked so much during foreplay.
"Are we in a coffin?"
"Yeah. Pretty hot, huh?" She asked, slowly licking his neck until she felt a shudder, as she began nibbling on his ear.
"Definitely."
When Abby woke up, the 'mystery Tony' was gone. Usually how she liked one night stands to end. Nothing worse than the awkward morning after. However, she did not get much time to forget the man.
"Abs, meet our new agent. Anthony DiNozzo." Gibbs introduced as the men entered her lab.
"Call me Tony." The man said, shaking her hand. Abby registered her shock very quickly and then got over it so Gibbs would not see it.
"Abby." She responded, realizing that he was acting like this was their first meeting. She had no problem with doing the same thing. "You must be Burley's replacement?" She added conversationally.
"I guess so."
"Welcome to the team."
"Thanks."
"Abs, we have no active cases, so after you finish your paperwork, go home and get some sleep. Tony and I are with security, getting his ID." Gibbs interrupted.
"Yay. Thanks Bossman." She celebrated, twirling in a circle, her skirt not any longer than the one that got his attention in the bar.
"So, this is where you work?" Tony asked, catching up with Abby walking to her car.
"You too, it would appear." She said, pausing and leaning up against her hearse.
"That's true. Look, I…"
"I'm fine that you left this morning with no intention of calling me again." She interrupted. "And for me there will be no problem working together."
"That's good. Me neither."
"Good. And should, what happened last night, happen again…that would be fine with me." Abby said nonchalantly.
"Me too." Tony agreed, adding his trademark smile.
"However, now you're part of Gibbs' team." Abby said.
"Yeah?"
"And he has rules. Possibly the most important rule is Rule 12." Abby started.
"Do tell." He said leaning against her car.
"You'll know soon enough. All you need to know is, no one can know about…" She said pointing between them. "… us."
"Fine with me."
"I think we'll get along just fine, DiNozzo."
"Tell him Abby." Kate prompted, after years of working with the team.
"What Kate? You never slept with a friend before?" She said smirking. Tony looked away before the profiler side of Kate realized what he was shy about.
