Down in Cartegena

He didn't know she was changing. He swears he didn't. But Ziva's standing in front of him, all smooth, silky, bare skin and god, she's even better than he remembered.

He wonders briefly why she hasn't reached for her shirt, or why he's still alive, but the second she smiles at him, he knows that this is it. The moment he knew was inevitable had arrived, and it had to take place in Cartegena, whilst one of them was naked.

He always knew he had to make the first move, so he reaches out to cup her cheeks, pulling her to him. She doesn't tense so he takes it as a cue and he presses a gentle kiss to her mouth.

"What are we doing?" she whispers against his mouth.

Tony stops stills completely, staring her right in the eyes. "Do you want to stop?"

She pulls his mouth to hers.

He takes his time with her, exploring every inch of her exposed body, slowly working his way down, sucking, licking, tasting.

By the time he reaches her core she's a sobbing mess, begging for release.

He's working her so hard that he has to hold her upright, and it feels so, soo good and she's soo close-

Her hands tug at his hair as she feels her orgasm start to sweep her. She buries her face in his neck then, holding him to her tightly as she shatters against his fingers, screaming his name.

He's whispering in her ear as she sobs against him, telling her she's beautiful, and perfect and that he loves her-

She stills as his words sink in. She's completely silent and he's scared shitless because a quiet Ziva is a dangerous Ziva.

But then she's reaching into his jeans pocket and pulling out his bucket list and reaching for a pen of the nearby desk.

"You can cross off 26, Tony" she states, matter of factly, handing him the pen, "I love you too".
