Everything She Ever Wanted

Chapter 1.

Kelly-Ann had been a member of Gibbs team for just a couple of months and she really loved it and her job. She had been based in DC for the last couple of years or so and had worked on various desks. But had got temporarily assigned to Gibbs team during the whole Parsa affair, because of leading the initial investigation into him as he rose to power working alongside NSA annalist Ellie Bishop. In the end the NSA ended up pulling Bishop from her temporary assignment as the case came to its conclusion. When Parsa took Bishop hostage following his capture Gibbs had let Kelly-Ann in on his plan to rescue Bishop and she'd helped him with the execution of that plan. Without actually realizing that he was testing her at the same time. That was until a few days later when she'd gone to see Vance about her next assignment. As they were having the discussion Gibbs came storming into the office saying that he wanted Kelly-Ann to be assigned to the team permanently and to take Ziva's place on the team. So with that Vance told her that the only openings he'd got in DC was on the European desk, other than that he'd got places available on teams in New York and Marseille. So if she didn't want to take any of those jobs and wanted to remain on Gibbs team then he was happy to get the paperwork sorted out from the temporary assignment to full permanent member. Before giving an answer she turned to look at Gibbs and could tell by the look on his face that he did want her on the team. So with that she turned to Vance and said that she would take it.

In the last couple of months she'd found that she was loving the job more because she was now apart of a team and not working on her own anymore. She also loved the way that no matter how long things took they would get the crime solved between all of them, rather than when she was on her own having a few open cases on her desk open all at once and trying to get through them all. The thing she loved the most though was learning from Gibbs, McGee and Tony.

Of course over the time that she had been at NCIS she knew all about Tony's reputation all to well. But she found that with getting to know him as a person that most of it just seemed to be a cover story and there were times when she would get a real appearance into the man behind all the bravado. Yes the two of them had flirted with one another and she did feel that she did have a slight attraction to him. But because of the way he was such a great friend to her she didn't want to spoil it between them, because it was too much of a good thing between them. Plus of course there was also rule 12 to consider. Not only that she also knew that if he knew the truth about her he wouldn't be interested in any way to her at all. So one night early on when he did ask her out on a date she turned him down flat, but ended up having so many regrets about it.

In the next case that fell into their laps they knew that their suspect Carol had killed their victim and the victim's sister Michaela, they just couldn't seem to get enough evidence to prove it. Not only that her husband Grant was also a marine involved in a finance office. During the investigation his CO had come to them to say that money had been going missing out of the office in thousands of dollars. So their theory was that he was stealing the money because he and Carol were having an affair and they were planning on making their getaway before NCIS could work out the truth. The case then ended up getting blown up even wider. Because by chance the FBI had been investigating a separate case on the base but had talked to their suspects. Thinking that his questioning was connected to the NCIS case they had then gone onto kill the FBI agent making it then a joint op between them.

In the end it was decided that they were going to do an undercover op, especially as the house opposite the couple's house was up for sale. Plus between herself, McGee and Abby following the CO giving permission. They'd hacked into Grant's computer at work and had found a secret file to the place he was storing the money in before he then moved it on. So they needed proof as to where he was sending the money to as well as evidence into the murders. So the plan was to put Tony into his office as a civilian worker to keep an eye on Grant. Kelly-Ann was going to be working at home as Tony's wife and to hide what they were really doing she was going to run her insurance business from home with McGee being her business partner. That way they could have Gibbs and Abby going in and out acting as though they were doing a home visit as their clients. Because of it being such a big op they of course needed permission to do it, but also needed to have she and Tony's agreement because of them having to be a couple. They did of course agree to it, but because of the way she seemed to be a bit reluctant in her agreement and of course Tony had noticed it. When they returned to their desks to collect their stuff and leave for the night, he looked across at her and said "Are you ok with this?" She just shrugged her shoulders and even if in a way she felt that she wasn't ok she just answered with "I'm fine."

After she got home and started to really think things over she just couldn't settle, so in the end she decided that she owed Tony the truth so after tossing things about in her head she decided that she should go and tell him that truth and went over to his apartment. As she sat on the sofa as he got them a drink, after handing it to her and then sitting next to her he said "What is this about?"

She sighed as she played with her glass and then said "I am honestly ok about doing the op and do want to do it. I'm just scared that you won't want anything to do with me when you know the truth and it's also some of the reason why I turned you down for the date."

As he took the glass from her hand and put it on the coffee table before taking her hand he replied "I promise that it won't ever happen. You're shaking, come on tell me, what is it?"

She answers "It's because I'm not that experienced where men are concerned. It stems from when I was a child because I was physically and mentally abused by my step-father. When that got found out I was then sent to live with my grandparents and they were both very strict where boys were concerned. When we had foreign students stay with us in the summer and things if they followed me anywhere in the house I was watched because I wasn't allowed anywhere on my own with a boy. Because my mom had me when she was sixteen and they were worried about me following in her footsteps. When I was eighteen I had my first proper boyfriend or so I thought. At first everything was ok and went really well. Then one night when we were alone he tried things on too fast and no matter how many times I said no he kept trying. Eventually though I did get out of there without anything happening. After that I ended things, but he still wouldn't take no for an answer and turned into a bit of a stalker. He'd do silent phone calls, send letters saying I wasn't allowed to go to concerts or other things alone or spend time with family and friends. It finally came to an end when I was going to London to meet some friends and he turned up on the same coach as me. Luckily the coach broke down and I knew my way into London from where we were so I got onto a train instead and lost him. After that I have had relationships, don't get me wrong. But as soon as they've found out about my lack of experience I've been dropped like a ton of bricks. So I kind of have a zero trust in men now. And I'm just worried that some of my fears may come out as we do this op and I'll end up somehow blowing it because of that."

As she then breaks down he pulls her into a hug. Once she settles and they break apart he then says "Other than because of the job, do you trust me?"

She looks at him and answers truthfully "Tony you're about one of the only men that I do trust with my life, both on and off the job."

He then gently takes her under the chin with his hand and squeezes the hand he's got hold of a bit more as he says "I don't care about how much or how little experience you've had, I care about you very much and I would like to hope that there is still a chance for us, even if it does mean breaking rule 12. Other than for doing this undercover op we will keep our work and home life separate. We will just take this as slow as you want to go and I promise you that I will never push you into anything you don't want to do or aren't ready for. I know that it will be a completely different matter when we're undercover. But even then I will always make sure with you that you're completely ok with whatever it is we need to do." He then lets go of her chin and runs his fingers down the side of her face before returning them under a chin again as he then adds "You are a very beautiful sexy woman and I promise you that I will not be anything like those other men and I will always be the man that you can trust with your life." As he then lets go of her chin again and then moves in slowly for a kiss she soon finds herself starting to relax and start responding to him and when his tongue starts to demand entrance she soon gives it. As his hand moves to the back of her head to deepen the kiss she finds her heart racing, but it is actually in a good way. Although in a way she does find herself filling with some regret that she hadn't told him the truth sooner and give the two of them a chance. As they eventually break apart and her eyes flutter open she knows that she just might be grinning like a stupid teenager. But she doesn't care because she knows that this is everything she wants, even if they are breaking the rules! He then takes her hand again and says quietly "So does this mean that as long as we don't get a case of course, can we have the date that we didn't have?"

She replies with a smile "Yes we can."

He then says "Ok, I'll pick you up at seven tomorrow night. We will only postpone if we get a case and this time it will only be postponed. So do you want to stay for a drink and a movie?"

She answers "I will do." So that's what the two of them and watch the movie cuddled up together and for the first time in her life she does find herself feeling safe with a man. At the end of the movie after sharing another kiss he then walks her down to her car and is a real gentleman because he holds her hand while they walk down to her car, they then share another kiss before he opens the car door to let her get in. Later in her own apartment as she gets into bed she feels very happy and contented. Just before she settles down to sleep she picks her phone up and just sends him a text saying "Thank you." He sends one saying that he will always keep his promise to her and will never ever hurt her and "Goodnight." She then falls asleep with a smile on her face!
