Chapter 2

This Is Rlmpcc110511's Chapter!

Abigail turned her head towards her lover, a smile on her face. She laid on her stomach, her body bare, and her arms crossed beneath her head. Her long brown hair pooled down her back before falling over the side and laying on the bed. She breathed in deeply and let out a sigh of content as she gazed at the man she had completely and irreversibly fallen in love with.

She never expected that when she started her new job, she would meet the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. Of course she never expect to feel this deeply for someone anyway. She had thought she wasn't lucky enough, but as her gaze scanned over his toned and hard body she was reminded that it did happen, and he was very much real.

The figure who had been laying on his back, resting after a round of their love making slowly turned to his side, resting his head on the hand connected to his bent elbow. "Your staring." His laughing voice said as his blue eyes looked over her body. Much like she was doing just a moment ago.

She smiled soft and shrugged her shoulders. She was caught and wasn't ashamed. She loved his body, and would look every chance she got, "Am I not allowed to look? I mean, I've lost count of how many times I've seen you this way, but I never tire of it."

"Abi…" His voice drawled, and she knew that tone. He loved it when she spoke of how she felt for him. It was as if he had been craving attention, but never admitted it to anyone. Then when she came along and offered it, he soaked it up. In a way, he had been craving it, he just never told anyone. After the death of his wife and daughter, he never let anyone in. At least until she came along.

"Jethro." She returned, pushing up onto her elbows to get a better look at him. Her eyes focused on the growing appendage between his legs. She knew they would be at round two shortly, but for now she would tease him, making him wait for what he wanted. That was always fun, and resulted in an orgasm of her life time. What girl would deny that?

She wiggled her backside on the bed, and turned her head away from her boss and lover. "What is up with Jenny hiring a new assistant. She already has one, so why would she need another?" She asked, prolonging what she new would be coming. A look of anger flashed over Jethro's face as he reached out and pushed the light brown hair of off abi's back. His fingers began to trail against delicate skin, circling in her dimples, before coming to stop at a white scar that ran along her back.

"She was supposed to be mine." He replied, his fingers following the path of the scar, his mind thinking of the new hire, as well as what the woman before him had been through before she moved to Washington.

"Who Jenny?" Abi asked, her possessive and jealous side rearing its ugly head. Jethro immediately gave her a look that told her not to say what she was thinking, and Abi looked away thoroughly chastised. They only ever fought about one thing, and that was the director of NCIS. Abi knew Jenny was suspicious of their activities, but she also knew that Jenny was more angry that Jethro hadn't picked her. Jenny never got over her old lover, and was trying to get him back. Jethro didn't believe Abi when she mentioned this, and anytime Jenny was brought up, they ended up arguing about it.

A strong arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her towards a hard body. She relaxed into his hold, but still didn't look at him as his hand began to rub circles into her hip. "I don't want to fight with you, Abi." Jethro sighed, before continuing on. "I was planning on hiring Jenny's new assistant to replace…"

"Kate." Abi finished. She knew Jethro still blamed himself for Kate's death and that was something she was going to have to work on with helping him, but it will take time. She turned in his grasp, and placed her hands on his face. His eyes closed as he accepted her affection, his arms tightening around her. "I love you."

He groaned as his lips descended to hers, melding together with a desperate need. He didn't say it to her often, but with the years they have been together, she had learned how to read his body language and actions. He showed her everyday how much he loved her, and with the occasional words, it was enough. She knew how he felt, especially as he pulled her body flush to his, all while his tongue asked for entrance into her mouth by rubbing lightly against her lips. She granted him access, and he wasted no time diving in.

Tongues battled for a few moments, both participants demanding dominance, but Abi gave in the moment his fingers began to do something magical. After that, her world was nothing but the male crawling above her, and what his body was capable of doing to hers. Her world was nothing but Leroy Jethro Gibbs.

"We are going to have to be more careful." Abi whispered, not wanting to break the peaceful moment after their love making. Jethro grunted, his head laying against her breast as he was still perched between her thighs, unable to yet move. Abi chuckled, running her fingers through his sweaty and sticky hair, keeping him relaxed as she prepared to speak on what has begun to worry her.

"I don't trust this Riana chick." She admitted. She heard and felt the sigh Jethro released as he lifted his head, his chin now resting on a breast.

"Why?" He asked, already knowing he wasn't going to like her answer. Her mind could be paranoid at times, but it was something he understood. She spent her life these last few years looking over her shoulder, running from a family she never wanted to find her.

"Jenny." She replied, and Jethro tensed immediately. "Just listen to me, for once." She begged as he lifted his body from hers and rolled to his back, a hand over his face in annoyance. "Jenny is still in love with you, and I know she suspects we are together. I think she hired Raina to be a spy. After all, why would she need two assistants."

"Abi." He warned, not wanting to hear what her mind had concocted against his ex-girlfriend.

Abi crossed her arms as she sat up on the bed. He never believed her when she spoke about Jenny, and that hurt. Of course she would never admit to it, but it felt as if he was choosing Jenny over her. "Abby believes me." She scoffed. Forensic scientist Abby was abi's best friend, and the only person that knew about her and Jethro. But both Jethro and Abi knew the other woman wouldn't tell a soul.

"And why does she believe this?" Jethro asked, his voice a sigh of aggravation.

"Because she can see it. She can see how Jenny flirts with you, just like everyone else can." Abi snapped. She was losing her patience, just like Jethro was. Soon, they would be in a full fledge fight, and she really didn't want that at the moment, so she stood and began to collect her clothes that had been scattered over the floor.

"What are you doing?" He asked, his eyes narrowed as he sat up himself. He would never allow her to leave when she was this angry. He couldn't stand having her angry at him, but he couldn't bring himself to believe Jenny would be so childish. She just wasn't like that.

"We just need to remember in the future to be more careful." Abi replied, throwing her clothes on the bed and grabbing her skinny jeans. She quickly stepped into them and pulled the up, leaving them unbuttoned. "Even if you don't believe me, we have been getting more comfortable with affection outside of our homes. We can't let anyone see us." She pulled on her bra, securing it behind her back.

"Stop it." Jethro whispered as she reached for her shirt. She hesitated for a moment, but quickly continued to get dressed. It was as she buttoned her pants after tucking in her shirt that he finally stood. He reached her as she slipped her feet into her shoes. Before she even had a chance to step away, his arms wrapped around her waist, his face buried into her shoulder and the crook of her neck.

"I know you don't like thinking about the past I have with Jenny, but…" He paused as he felt the woman tense in his rams, and he swallowed. He needed to figure out a way to get her to stay, and not be mad at him. He hated when she was anything except loving towards him, and he wanted that back. "Abi, please. It was years ago. The two of us have been together longer than she and I ever were. I wouldn't have it any other way."

"But."

"No buts. Listen to me Abi. It doesn't matter if I came home one day to Jenny naked in my bed. She would be sent out the moment I saw her. So even if she really is flirting, it makes no difference. Have you ever thought I haven't noticed her flirting, because she isn't you. So, if she really is being flirtatious, let her, because unless it's you I don't give a damn about anybody else." Finally she relaxed into his hold, but she still didn't move from her spot and he knew he still had a little work to do.

"Can you explain Riana then?" Abi asked, her hand lifting to rest on the two hands on her stomach. She knew Jethro hated it when she was mad at him, but this was one thing she wouldn't change her mind on. Yes his words help to ease her jealousy, but she knew Jenny was up to something.

"Being director is a lot of work, Abi. She really could need two assistants." He replied, kissing the side of her head and she sighed, giving in. No he hadn't changed her mind, but truthfully, she really didn't want to leave. She didn't want to go home to an empty bed. Not when she could stay here, with the man she loved.

She let him lead her back to his bed, all while she plotted. She had to come up with a way to prove to Jethro that she was right. She would ask Abby for help, and she would get to the bottom of this. If Jenny wanted to spy on her, then she would spy on Jenny.

The next morning, Abigail didn't spare a glance to any one else as she made her way into the building. She was on a mission and needed to update the one person she trusted with this on her plan. She knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt that Jenny was planning something, and she wasn't going to take any chances. Jethro would probably be angry with her when he found out what she was doing, but she cared too much about their relationship to let a jealous ex get in between them. She would do what she needed to, including going behind Jethro's back.

"Morning boss." She greeted dropping her things at her desk. Gibbs gave a quick nod, before looking back at his computer. To everyone else, it would seem as if he was uninterested, but to her, someone who has had years to get to know him, she saw the hidden smile, the way his eyes shined, and even how his jaw tightened minimally when he got a good look at her attire.

Sometimes she would tease him, and wear a more provocative outfit for work. The moment they were alone together, he was sure to show her what he thought, and she desperately missed his touch. She may have spent the night at his house last night, but a few hours apart was too much to her.

She bent low, allowing the white dress blouse she had on to fall from her chest, her breast the perfect height for Jethro to get an eye full. She fixed the strap on her heels, before slowly standing back straight again. Her grey dress pants were tight against her backside, and she knew he was enjoying that sight as well. When she spared a glance his way, she had to fight back her satisfied smile as she took in his flushed cheeks, fisted hands, and tightened jaw.

"I'm going to be in the lab with Abby, boss." She said, not waiting for his nod as she turned to leave. She stopped for a moment to greet Tony and Mcgee when they entered. When on the elevator she finally let her smile spread and looked to her phone as it vibrated.

Careful

It was all it said, but she knew what it meant. It had two meanings, the first reminding her that they couldn't be caught. She herself was the one that said with the new girl Riana around, they would need to watch themselves, and she admitted maybe she should have thought of that. The second meaning was much more personal, and one that sent tingles down her spine and to her toes. He was warning her about what would happen, if she didn't stop, the moment they went to one of their homes. While one part of her knew she needed to be careful, another part loved the thrill of anticipation.

The elevator dinging brought her out of her thoughts, and she returned her phone to the pocket of her pants, before stepping out of the metal cart. Her feet took her to the lab that she had been in many times. She was universal when it came to her job, trained to do more than shoot a gun. It was part of the family trait. She never really had a childhood while she grew up. She was learning words before she was one, and could speak by two. Her father hired a tutor for her from there on out, and by time she was sixteen, she had graduated college with a degree in forensic sciences. She then returned to school for mortuary sciences. Therefore, when they needed it, she helped with Abby in the lab, or ducky in the morgue. What she learned about guns, law and crime, she learned from her family, except her family wasn't exactly the good guys.

It was why they had her do what she did. By time she was seventeen, she knew how to hide a body without anyone finding it. She knew how to fight, use any kind of gun or weapon put into her hand, and the thing she hated the most, torture. She was the perfect assassin, and that was why she ran. She had no desire to remain in that family, and kill. She had never taken the life of someone before she got her job at NCIS five years ago. She ran when she was nineteen and had her job by time she was twenty. And not once has she looked back. Jethro knew all of this about her, and stayed by her side.

It was how she knew she loved him, he didn't turn away. There was one thing he still didn't know, and she would never tell a soul. It was her secret alone. Even Jethro would leave if he knew. It was one reason she was going to fight so hard to keep Jenny from digging too deep into her life. She needed to be sure nothing would come between her and Jethro, not even the actions of someone from her past.

"Abby." Abi called, smirking at the name they shared. They hadn't been expecting that at all, and Abby was quite angry for it for awhile. After some time though Abi was able to get the other woman to see her as someone more than a young girl who stole her name. Now they were best friends.

"In here!" Came the voice of the goth. Good, Abi could only be happy that the scientist was in her office. It meant they could be more private. She wasted no time in finding her best friend and walking into the office without even knocking.

"We need to talk." Abi started, not waiting even a second as she looked over the woman who was focused intently on something on her computer. "Jenny's ne-"

"New assistant. Suspicious right?" Abby finished, smiling to her friend. Relief flooded through Abigail and she sighed. She knew she could count on Abby. "I mean why would she need two?"

"I'm glad you would have believed me." Abigail muttered, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Gibbs still think Madam Director is a saint?" Abby asked, her tone insulting. They both knew the woman hated being called Madam director, and its why they did it. It would be damn near impossible to replace either one of them, and if Jenny fired them, she would be shooting herself in the foot. Not only would Gibbs quit to follow them, the rest of the team would follow Gibbs.

"Of course. He keeps saying that just isn't her." Abi sighed, sitting in a spinning chair across from Abby's desk and pushing herself around in slow circles. "She may not have been like that while they knew each other, but that was forever ago! She could have changed by now, plus she is run by jealousy."

"All emotions are chemical reactions in the brain. Therefore, depending on the person and the brain they have, each person could have a different reaction. One could experience a normal amount of jealousy, for example: you." Abby said, smirking as Abi glared in her direction until the chair turned and could no longer see her. "Then there are those that can have an over abundance of that one emotion, a large reaction, which could cause a person to act irrationally. That would be Jenny."

"Jethro never saw that side of Jenny, because ultimately, she had him. She never had a reason to be jealous." Abi agreed, stopping the spinning of the chair with her heeled foot. "So what do we do?"

"First we research. I wouldn't have bothered before, but the rainbow changed things." Abby replied, her eyes narrowing.

Abigail raised an eyebrow and looked at her friend, confused. "Rainbow?"

"The new girl. Shouldn't she be forced to follow a dress code? No one should be allowed to have multi colored hair." Abby explained, and Abi snorted, surprised at what she was hearing.

"Compared to your combat goth boots, and all black attire. The showing tattoos, the pig tails, the loud, dark, and creepy music. Theres also the farting stuffed animal-"

"I get your point." Abby grumbled, raising her hand to flip off her best friend. "I'm the only one who gets to be special. Besides you of course. You get to have you abnormally long hair, and fuck the boss."

"Abby!" Abi scolded, looking around to make sure no one had heard them. Yes, Abby had sound proofed her lab, but that didn't mean someone couldn't have walked in. "Besides, everyone is special in their own way. Tony is a pervert, Timmy is sweet and nerdy, Ducky is the sweet english doctor, Jenny is the jealous bitch, Your you, Gibbs is the insanely sexy, fabulous in bed, romantic and loving boss, with a dic-"

"I get your point, no more!" Abby laughed, causing the other woman to join in. "Everyone is special in their own way."

"Good, now back to researching the two woman determine to destroy my life. Do you have anything on them?" Abigail asked, ready to get back to the task at hand.

"Yes, and no." Abby answered, typing on her computer, before bringing up a file. Abi got to her feet and walked to stand behind the still sitting woman. "All of Madam directors information is sealed and locked away."

"Can you do that with mine?" Abi asked, hope blooming in her chest.

"For NCIS, yes. But not from the world. I don't have the security clearance. Which means…"

"Jenny does, or at least knows someone who does. So what did she do to get special treatment?" Abi thoughtfully replied, looking over the denied file on the screen in front of her. She wasn't going to get very far when it came to the meddlesome woman. She sighed again, shifting her feet, as the anxious nervousness she has been feeling settled back into her stomach. "And Raina?"

"Full access. From the moment she was born, to what she got for breakfast this morning. She has way more credentials then a mere assistant, which is the only odd part. The rest is pretty boring though. She was close friends with Kate, and even suspected they had a relationship, its not proven though. She was attacked by an ex-boyfriend years ago, he was put in jail, but has been since released, and that's it. Everything else is just normal everyday living for a single woman."

"Thanks." A voice mumbled, and they looked up to see the woman they were just reading about, anger in her eyes. Abby quickly shut down the monitor to her computer, and smiled awkwardly to the new assistant.

"Your quite sneaky aren't you?" Abi asked, a laugh to her voice. She didn't hate the woman, she just didn't trust her.

"It looks like I need to be. I just wanted to meet everyone. Why were you going through my file?" Raina replied. It was clear the anger was still in her voice, and Abi fought to roll her eyes. She didn't need to deal with this, this morning. Abby stood beside her friend, and both woman faced the other. There was no doubt Raina wasn't exactly liked.

"Relax, its not as if we were planning anything. This is the normal greeting for employees. They did it to me as well." Abi soothed, the scientist nodding her head animatedly.

"Really?" Raina scoffed, the implied meaning there. She didn't believe a word of the the other female.

"Abigail?" A male voice called out, and Abi looked up, knowing she was the one Gibbs was calling. Abby was Abby, and Abi was only Abi when they were alone, any other time it was Abigail.

"Yea, boss?" Abi grumbled, knowing she just got caught.

"We've got a case." He ordered, and she mumbled her good byes to Abby before walking past the woman sent to spy on her. It was just her luck to get caught snooping by her boyfriend and boss. And she knew she wasn't going to hear the end of it.

Just as expected, the moment they entered the elevator and it started to raise up, Gibbs quickly turned it off, and looked towards the woman he wanted to spend his future said nothing, and Abi rolled her eyes, knowing he wasn't going to ask for an explanation, he just expected one. It was completely a Gibbs move.

"I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about. It wasn't her file I was really curious about any way." Abi mumbled, and the moment Jethro tensed, she knew she spoke to much.

"You looked through Jen's file?" He asked dangerously, and Abi swallowed. She knew Jethro would never hurt her, he loved her to much, but just like how he hated when she was mad at him, she hated the same. She never wanted to disappoint him, but he was pushing her to do what she was doing.

"Don't worry, I didn't see anything about your precious Jenny Shepard. Her file was locked away." Abi replied sarcastically, angry at this entire day so far. What she really needed was a roll around in the bed with her boyfriend, but she wasn't going to be getting that any time soon. Not while he was angry with her at least. It looked like she was going to be staying at her apartment tonight.

"Locked? She doesn't have the access." Jethro mumbled, not realizing he was now fueling Abi's curiosity.

"Which means she knows someone who does." Abi replied, before placing her hands gently on Gibbs face and making him look at her. "Don't you see. Already there are things about her you don't know. So much about her could have changed between back then and now, and you wouldn't know. Please. Please just for one second, admit that she could be doing what I think she is."

"There is nothing to admit, Abi." Jethro stated, and immediately regretted it as Abi's hands fell from his face in defeat. She looked away, hugging her arms to her chest, and trying to hide the quiver in her lip. She refused to cry, and wouldn't let one tear drop, but Jethro could still see how much his belief in Jenny hurt her.

He loved Abi with everything he had. He would protect her with his life, and never regret it. He wanted a future with her, something he hasn't wanted in a long time. Eventually she would be his wife, and, if she agreed, the mother to any of his children. Shannon and Kelly would always be in his heart, but with the help of the woman in front of him, he was able to put them in the past. She accepted them just as much as he accepted her past, and because of that, he couldn't lose the woman in front of him.

That didn't change the fact that he thought Jenny was innocent of what Abi was accusing. Jenny, never would stoop so low. She was mature, and she was the one who ultimately left him. It was eleven years ago, and there was no way she was interested in starting over. She wouldn't just leave hints or beat around the bush, she would admit it immediately. She never said anything, in fact, she made it clear there was nothing more between them, which he never even asked about. It had caught him off guard when she threw that out there, because he hadn't even been thinking about it. By that time, he and Abi had an establish relationship going on six years.

"Look at me." He demanded. At first she disobeyed, but a gentle finger on her chin had her big beautiful blue eyes meeting his. Her pressed his lips gently against hers, and she relaxed marginally, but not fully. "It doesn't matter if your right or not. If she is jealous, let her be. Its not her I want."

"This isn't me being jealous." She started, her eyes narrowing. "This is me worried that she will ruin us. I can't live without you, Jethro, and I refuse to let her come between us. I will stop her and what ever it is she has planned."

She never received a reply and instead was pushed up against the elevator wall roughly. A hand had tangled into her light brown hair, fisting the nap of her neck. The other was tight on her hip, not letting her move, but the only thing she focused on was the lips devouring hers. His lips melded to hers, and she whimpered under the onslaught.

The kiss was filled with love, passion, desperation, and need. He hadn't kissed her like this in awhile and she couldn't stop her hands from tangling in his own hair as she parted her mouth for him, letting his tongue dive in and taste her. This wasn't a sexual kiss in any way. This was a kiss of all kisses, showing exactly what they other was feeling. Gibbs was letting her know that he loved her, and that what she said meant more to him than he could ever say.

He pulled away a few seconds later, breathless, and leaned his forehead against hers. Their breath mingled together as they panted, both shaky and holding onto the other for dear life. Finally Gibbs spoke, his voice a whisper and husky at the same time. "Nothing, and I mean nothing, will break us apart. What you said Abi, it goes for me. I need you."

She nodded, moving her head to rest on his shoulder as her hands fell to his waist, wrapping around him. She didn't realize how much she needed this reassurance, and it meant so much that he gave it anyway. She still worried about what Jenny was up to, but she believed in her relationship with Jethro more. Enough to leave things alone. At least until Jenny finally slipped up.

"I still don't believe she's innocent, but I won't go digging anymore." She promised, and his arms tightened around her as he kissed just above her ear, breathing in her scent deeply. He pulled away slowly, and Abi smiled as she reached up and wiped the lipstick from his lips before fixing his hair. He did the same to her, and soon enough it looked as if nothing happened. He quickly turned on the elevator and they began their ascent to the lobby.

"That's all I ask Abi. Have faith in us." He whispered, running his fingers over hers one last time before putting more space between them.

"So, do we really have a case?" She asked, and Gibbs smiled down to her before nodding. At least she had something to look forward to.

Abi looked around the living room, the note pad in her hand falling to the floor. She was in heaven. That was the only thing that could describe this room. Rack upon rack of reptile. Snake after snake, lizard after lizard. She should really buy this house, and all of its inhabitants. Abigail, didn't obsess over much, but reptiles was her one weakness, preferably snakes.

"Who could love these creatures?" Dinozzo asked, and Abi quickly smacked him in the back of the head, ignoring the glare she received.

"Did you know that each reptile has it's own personality like cats and dogs. They are completely miss understood, and some even harmless." Abi defended, her hands on her hips. She heard Mcgee and Ziva behind her, snickering about the two arguing once again. Her and Tony did this often, but they were still close friends. It was playful.

"Half of these don't even have legs, or eye lids." Tony grumbled, still glaring down at Abigail.

"They have a clear film that goes over their eyes when under water…" Abi corrected, in a tone that suggested he should know that. "Plus they are all adorably cute."

"So cute they ate their owner?" Gibbs interrupted, kneeling down to the body they came here to see. Abi rolled her eyes again, and Gibbs smirked not even needing to see her to know she did it.

"The snakes didn't do anything. They eat their pray whole. A few of the reptiles look to have gotten loose from their enclosures, and I bet most of them are are type of lizard. The bigger ones tend to tare into flesh." Abi argued, hands on her hips still. Gibbs opened his mouth but quickly shut it when he heard a god awful noise. They all looked at Tony the moment he squeaked, confused looks on their faces.

"It's gonna eat me." He whispered, pointing towards his feet without moving a muscle. They all looked down and covered their ears at Abi's excitement. She reached down quickly, picking up the yellow and white snake that happened to choose Tony to crawl over.

"Your such a pretty little baby." Abi cooed, wrapping the large ten foot snake around her shoulders, and it immediately coiled around, happy to be getting some attention from someone.

"Little?"

"Baby?"

"Pretty?"

Multiple voice rung out at once, and Abi looked to the rest of her team, not surprised to see faces of shock and confusion, and of course the look of amusement from Gibbs at her antics. "Yes, he or she is a pretty little baby." Abi replied, grabbing the tail end, and quickly probing the snake. Dinozzo, squeaked again as she did this, unable to look away. "She. She is a she. She is also an albino Burmese python and only about ten feet. So yes Dinozzo, she is just a baby." She explained before turning her attention to the snake that was now pressing its nose against hers before moving farther up around her head. "She has missed her owner, and the attention he gave." She whispered, before smiling and hugging the massive snake to her. "I'm gonna keep her."

…sSs…

I haven't written a collaboration with anyone for a long time, and I'm excited to see how this will turn out. I have high hopes for it. Lol. For those of you reading this on ShelbykinsBlu's profile, its nice to meet you. For those of you that follow me and my other writings, I hope you enjoy this one just as much as you seem to my others. Just to clear up the time frame a bit. Abi has been working at NCIS for five years. Jenny had been working there for only a few months. It is why problems about their relationship is just starting. Abi and Jethro started dating a few months after she began work. Right now we have only skimmed the couple, but we will be getting deeper into the two of them. Abby(the scientist) will always be referred to as Abby. Abi(The main character for me) Will be referred to as Abi, or Abigail. That way no one gets the two confused. It was confusing writing that part of the chapter. Lol. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy.
