Disclaimer: Sadly I don't earn NCIS. However I am hoping for the boxsets for Christmas.
A.N/ Just a short drabble piece. Just think of it as an early Christmas present!
Soul Mates
She was aware of his presence the moment he put his hand to the door handle. Always alert, always ready. Old habits die hard I guess.
Except now it was different. With him it was different. It was more than her so called 'ninja skills' that alerted her to his presence. There was no way to explain it. No logical way for her to communicate the connection they shared. It was as if...her very soul sensed him, sensed its counterpart within him.
'Do you believe... ?'
Her question from long ago echoed in her head, just as it had done whenever her thoughts had turned to him in the years following that day.
She smiled, more to herself than anything, as she felt his strong arms encircle her waist, his warm breath creating goose bumps as he nuzzled in to her neck. Turning to face him she sought out his left hand, bringing their entwined hands up to rest upon his heart. A soft, contented smile played on her lips as she admired their hands where they lay together on his chest, wedding bans shining even in the dim light of the bathroom. She felt the strong, steady beat of his heart beneath their hands and sighed deeply, melting further into his embrace; the only place she truly felt at home, safe, loved, whole. Finally, she looked up into his eyes. The energy that sparked between them in the instant their eyes met never failed to make her breath catch and her heart to beat erratically. It hadn't faded, even after twenty years of marriage.
Yes, she thought, as he placed soft kisses first on her forehead; then eyelids; then nose and finally, her lips.
She stretched up on her toes to return his kiss. Chuckling softly and she felt his lips break into his signature smile. Yes, she most definitely did.
A.N/ I have no idea where this came from. I just started writing and this happened. I'm pretty happy but I'll let you guys be the judges- what do you think? Reviews are always nice and will definitely brighten my day even if it's just a :) face! Be sure to check out my tumblr iambrightgrey. Merry Christmas! xoxo
