CHAPTER TWO – STEAMY SURPRISES

Deeks awoke again first or so he thought. Glancing around the room, he noticed that light no longer seemed to be streaming through the slight crack in the drapes. It was getting dark. As he stared at the bedroom's ceiling, he surmised that both of them had apparently needed the rest. After all, she was getting used to the time change and as for him…he was getting used to having his girl back.

God, it was great! He thought. It was utterly fantastic having her back and by his side once again. In addition, she was on fire these past 24 hours. He had never desired any one more than his Kensi. However, thoughts drifted back to last night and while he had told Kensi most of what had happened to them, he did leave out one important event. How would she take it when she found out? Deeks really had no idea, but he hoped for the best.

Bearing this in mind, Deeks stole a look over at the woman curled up beside him. Her hair was draped across his chest. At first, he thought she was still sleeping but soon realized that she was awake and watching him watching her. Sleep had erased all worry from her brow and made her appear more desirable than ever before. Deeks really didn't think that could be possible. How could he love someone so much and be so lucky to have that love returned? The love department had never been one of his strong points and although in the past, he had enjoyed some wonderful relationships with other women, none of them had come close to his relationship with Kensi, his Princess. It was fulfilling to a degree that he never imagined.

Deeks leaned over and gave Kensi a light kiss on the mouth.

"Hi, beautiful. You're awake, too?" He whispered.

Kensi brought her hand gently to his face and said, "Yes."

"I love you, Kens." Deeks said softly.

"And I love you too Deeks." Kensi replied.

"Hey, do you want to get up, take a shower, get some fresh clothes on and explore a little bit?"

Kensi's lips started to form a smile, but her eyes got such a wicked twinkle. "Depends on what kind of exploring you're talking about, mister." She said this in such a seductive voice that Deeks almost threw his first ideas out the window, opting instead to stay in bed with this woman for all eternity. Instead he rolled over, threw off the covers and got out of bed. Deeks extended his hand towards Kensi who took it and leisurely followed him into the bathroom.

"Kensi, do you need a moment?" Deeks inquired. Some things, even in the best relationships, were situations that couples took time to come to an understanding about and bathroom rituals were at the top of that list. Some people didn't mind doing some tasks in front of each other, while others had a hard time even being in the same room together.

Kensi looked over at Deeks. "Yes, please. Just give me a moment."

"Sure. That's fine. This suite has another bathroom. So, I'll step over there and come back and join you shortly."

Kensi nodded. Deeks left and within a few moments, Kensi heard another door, not too far away, open and close ever so softly.

Wow. Who would have ever thought that he was such an amazing lover? Kensi thought as she looked at herself in the mirror. She turned on the faucet and ran her hand underneath the refreshing water. Then she ran that same hand over her face. Glancing at the counter, she noticed that Deeks must have been through her luggage because her cosmetic bag was there on the counter. No time like the present to brush teeth. I can't afford morning breath right now. Such a way to spoil the moment. Kensi thought with a slight smile as she opened the bag. After a few more tasks were completed, she was ready for that shower. She turned on the faucet nozzle and tested the water temperature and pressure. Once satisfied, she stepped in and closed the shower door behind her.

Within a few minutes, Kensi was under the water getting her head wet and thinking that a proper shower with a good hair washing would definitely help with the jet lag and fatigue that she was experiencing. The shower door crept open and Deeks joined Kensi stepping up to her and helping to soap up her body. Actually they were doing it to each other. Deeks could feel that Kensi was getting aroused and that set his body on fire. Lips clamped together and bodies moved in tandem. Neither one noticed or cared that the water was getting lukewarm since the fire of their union was compensating for this development and making them as warm as ever.

Later, Deeks figured it took them a little over 3 hours to get ready. Both of them found that passion and desire being the only obstacles to their exit from the suite.

"Ready, Kensilena?"

"Yes, finally. I'm ready."

Kensi walked towards Deeks. She wore a black short dress with the most unique shoes he had ever seen and she looked absolutely amazing. Later on, Hetty would inform him that the dress was by Stella McCartney and the shoes by Jimmy Choo. Hetty had remarkable taste in both women and men fashions. Deeks inhaled the scent that was his Kensi. Gorgeous, beautiful, sexy, spicy, exotic were acronyms that didn't even come close to describing her tonight, he thought. His girl was such a glorious creature and definitely one of a kind.

Kensi stared back at Deeks. He looked so handsome. Hetty must have given him one of the tailored suits in her collection back at OSP, she thought. The color of the suit and especially the tie brought out the blue in his eyes. I could get drunk and lost in those eyes.

Deeks cleared his throat. "Come on Fern. We're going to be late for our dinner reservations." He said this as he made his way towards the hall door.

"When did you make those, Max? I never saw you on the phone." Kensi replied as she walked through the door that Deeks opened for her and then closed it behind them. Kensi smiled as the both of them had engaged in their pet names or nicknames for each other without so much as a skip in the conversation.

"Really, Marty. Where are we going?" Kensi inquired again.

"Just head over to the elevator and you'll find out." Deeks replied being more mysterious than ever. Kensi stole a look at him as they both entered the elevator. Deeks pushed the lobby level button with his left hand and rested his other arm and hand at the small of Kensi's back. The elevator started its downward descent. Kensi glanced at the floor designations and room descriptions listed on the elevator wall. To her surprise, their suite was described as one of the Lakeview Cypress Suites at the Bellagio or in other words, a Honeymoon Suite. Kensi glanced at Deeks raising her eyebrow. Deeks gave a nervous chuckle.

"Don't look at me. Hetty made the arrangements. I just showed up with you."

Kensi smiled. "I have no problem with that or with you." She leaned forward and gave Deeks a soft kiss on his lips.

"Oh, Kens. Don't start. We'll never make it to dinner at this rate." Deeks groaned.

Kensi laughed at that remark. They had reached the bottom and started to step out of the elevator. It seems that the hotel special events coordinator had been awaiting their appearance. She stepped forward carrying a small bouquet of flowers. Kensi thought dryly as she stole a quick glance at Deeks, I'll just have to let her know later that flowers aren't my thing.

"Hi, Mr. Deeks. I'm Karen Sullivan, special events coordinator at the Bellagio hotel. I wanted to thank you for choosing our hotel to mark your special occasion. I hope everything has met with or exceeded your expectations." Karen Sullivan extended her right hand to shake Deek's who had brought his arm and hand out from behind Kensi's back.

"Yes, it has and thanks." As he released Karen's hand, Deeks was starting to look anxious and he was fingering something in his pocket with his left hand. Kensi heard a quiet tinkling sound emulating from his pocket. Kensi couldn't figure out for the life of her what it was ...but then …

"Congratulations to you as well and it's my pleasure to meet you too, Mrs. Deeks! Here's a small token of our appreciation." Karen continued as she turned to address Kensi and thrust the flower bouquet into Kensi's open arms.

In that one moment, all the previous night's memories came rushing back to Kensi and she really thought she was going to faint right then and there and if she did…boy Deeks was going to pay for it!
