My friend Elisa gave me the prompt, "empire." This is the drabble that is the outcome. I don't own NCIS.


"This is my empire, Ziva. I am your emperor. Hear me roar!"

She laughed and then grabbed his hand to pull him down on the couch. "Since you are the emperor, does that mean I have to obey your every word?"

Tony smirked and then wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her into his lap. "You could bow down to me, if you wanted to. But, I think it would be more fun if you obeyed me."

"Oh, really?" Ziva teased, wrapping her arms around Tony's neck, snuggling closer to him on his lap.

"Mhm. You have to do everything I tell you to do, whether you like it or not," Tony teased, tucking a piece of her curly hair behind her ear.

"Oh, I think I'll like it," Ziva replied, smirking.

Tony laughed, and kissed her lips passionately before getting up off of the couch, carrying Ziva in his arms.

Ziva kept her arms around Tony's neck and the senior field agent carried her into his bedroom, leading her over to his bed. He was the emperor and Tony loved every second of it.
