Distracting Kisses

Chapter 1 – First and Second Kiss


Ziva was furious with herself. She punched several times the punching bag in the gym. These "distracting kisses" she had shared with Tony for last few weeks were out of control. What was she thinking to kiss him like that?

They were together on action several times and the best idea that occurred to her one day while Tony searched for somewhere to hide because somebody was following them and they didn't want to blow their cover was to kiss him.

She just grabbed his hand and yanked him to her. He was too shocked by the direct contact between his body and hers so before he could react she palmed his face and crashed her lips against his. He gasped and moaned but if it was because of the pleasure or because of that unexpected situation, she didn't know.

She just felt that his knees buckled and he stumbled. His hands went automatically around her as he tried to gain the balance so she backed him to the wall to steady them both. Their mouths move on their own volition and both of them seemed to lose the track of time.

She then became conscious of what they were doing and she saw the man who was following them as he went around them. She broke the kiss and watched the man as he continued in his way. She breathed a sigh of relief. It was just some man who just got into their way – he was no threat.

She looked at Tony who stood at the wall with his arm crossed and watched her intently with grin of amusement. "What?!" she yelled at him annoyed by the look on his face. "Well, that was nice." He smiled at her and she rolled her eyes. "It occurred to me as the best idea, so what?" He raised his hands in defense. "I'm not complaining, you know."

"It doesn't mean anything, DiNozzo. Don't search for something more behind this, OK?" she warned him but she wasn't sure what just happened either. He just nodded but she was sure that he would be teasing her about this for few days.

That was for the first time they shared their "distracting kiss". She knew that she was the one who initiated this and she cursed herself for it. Without this stupid idea she wouldn't have the problems she has had now.


When it happened for the second time Tony was the one who caught her by surprise. They somehow ended up in the middle of the unplanned firefight without any backup. If they wanted to survive they had to find some time to call Gibbs for help.

So they tried to run away from the reach of their attackers. They ran through some corridor and Tony had an idea. He opened one of the doors in the corridor and pulled Ziva with him. She yelped in surprise but obeyed.

They tried to calm their breathing and listened carefully if their followers were still following them. After another deep breaths Tony pulled out his phone and called Gibbs to tell him about their problems and asked for help. Gibbs immediately grabbed McGee and headed to help Tony and Ziva.

Ziva looked around her and noticed that they were in a very small closet. Tony seemed to notice too because their bodies were in a very close proximity. The heat in the closet rose suddenly. They desperately tried to not look at each other while to come up with some words convenient in this situation.

"We should move on. We can't stay here forever." Ziva pointed out the obvious fact. Tony nodded – she was right. Their followers could find them or worse. They both reached to the doorknob but flinched when they heard the voices coming from their followers.

"Open every fucking door in this corridor! We have to find them!" the leader of their followers yelled on his henchmen. Tony had to act. The escape was mission impossible with their followers just behind the door.

Ziva stood at door in her ninja position. He reached for her badge and gun and put them away on the shelf behind her. She looked at him with the mixture of confusion and disbelief. "What are you doing, Tony? I would rather have my gun in the hand, if you allow." She turned away from him and reached for her gun but his hands stopped her.

Tony turned her back to him and started to explain while he put his badge and gun away too. "I just figured out that because we can't escape, we should behave naturally. We can pretend that we are employees in this building and we are in this closet for a very good reason. And that involves not having a gun or the badge of federal agent."

She gaped at him with her mouth wide open and then she shut it. What is he up to? She wondered but decided to trust him. Well, she didn't have any other option, did she? Their followers were just few doors from them. She sighed with closed eyes and prepared herself for everything that could come out from Tony and she was sure it couldn't be anything nice.

"And what is the good rea-" she didn't have the chance to finish because he pinned her hands together with one hand and his other hand caught her head as he leaned in to her and crashed his lips on hers.

She yelped surprised into his mouth but responded naturally. When she finally came to her senses she tried to fight with him but his grip on her hands tightened in determined decision not to release her. He was enjoying this very much. Maybe too much that it was appropriate.

When Ziva finally admitted to herself that she wasn't able to win the fight, she gave in. Her knees gave away under the intensity of his kiss so she leaned against the shelf behind her and steadied herself by clinging on his shirt which made their bodies flushed together causing both of them to moan.

Suddenly the door opened and their followers spotted them. Tony broke the kiss and looked up at them. He flashed them a wide smile and pointed to Ziva. "Sorry guys, but this is my girlfriend. I'm not sharing her." and squeezed her backside.

Ziva shook out her confusion from what just happened and decided to think about why she enjoyed this too much than she would be able to admit to herself, later. Instead, she tried to play the game along with him and began to nuzzle his neck.

"See? She's so eager and we have only thirty minutes long lunch break, so if you could excuse us…" Their followers just blinked and seemed to buy their game. One of them pointed out to Ziva: "Good taste, man. She's hot." Tony smiled at them and said: "Thanks, I know." He squeezed her backside again while Ziva's mouth worked on his pulse point and he was sure by now that he would have to wear a turtleneck because she definitely gave him a hickey.

Their followers shot them smile once again, wished them good luck and closed the door. Ziva unglued her mouth from Tony's neck and stood in complete silence just to be sure that they didn't come back. When they were sure that nobody's following them, they both sighed in relief. Suddenly, they realized the awkwardness of the situation they were in – Ziva was still clinging on his shirt and he held her in his embrace with his hands on her backside. They separated like if they were burnt.

Ziva looked down on her shoes while Tony desperately tried to find some spot in the closet to lay his eyes on. "Well," Tony found the courage to say something, "that was…" but Ziva cut him off. "Good idea. It saved us. That's all. It cannot happen again." Tony regarded her for a moment deciding whether he should tell something or not.

He understood why she was frowning and wanted to forget about all of this. They both knew that in the kiss was something more than the game they played to fool their followers. The problem was he didn't want to forget it but she seemed to act otherwise. When she unexpectedly kiss him few weeks ago he thought that something had changed but she behaved like if nothing happened so he tried to forget about it too. But this kiss made him want even more.

"Ziva…" he started but never had the chance to finish because of the sound of shooting that spread through the corridor. Gibbs and McGee finally arrived. Ziva shot him last pleading look hoping that he would understand. "We cannot do this again." She whispered, grabbed her badge and gun, opened the door and disappeared on the corridor.

Tony sighed with closed eyes and rubbed his face. There was nothing he could do about it now so he grabbed his gun and badge and followed Ziva to the corridor to meet Gibbs and McGee. The teasing of her because of the first kiss stopped.


For the next few weeks they tried to avoid each other – they didn't even have their regular movie nights. Fortunately, Gibbs didn't send them together to interview people so often and when they had to they didn't speak much to each other.

Tony respected Ziva's wish not to talk about the kiss but he thought about it very often. He spent quite a few restless and dreamless nights just lying in the bed staring at the ceiling and mooning over relationship with Ziva. He sometimes considered to corner Ziva and confronted her with his feelings but he always chickened out.

All he had, was his dreams and fantasies. In some point he accepted that his dreams will never come true and his fantasies will remain just fantasies. In that point their relationship came back to normal – they were able to tease each other again, talk about unimportant things and they even returned to their movie nights.

Tony was glad that everything got back to normal and Ziva seemed to be pleased with it too. He still had dreams about her and fantasized sometimes about her but he was able to push it back and not to show what he was really feeling. But then their third "distracting kiss" arrived.
