Chapter Two;

Looking up into those eyes as she rested back against the cold tiles behind her, Kate knew that she had done right to let Tony use his charm and sex appeal on her to win her over. The brunette was having trouble with looking at Tony now as the water was still running over their bodies as they stood together in the cubicle, breathing heavily.

"Told ya, you wanted me." He winked to her, his sentence coming out in a frenzied tone as he pushed back Kate's sleek hair and he softly stooped a little to peck her lips, showing her that he wasn't being the usual tool he was.

"You don't give up easily, DiNozzo." Kate smirked to him before she blinked a few times and gave a soft giggle, the brunette then pressed her lips up to Tony's and softly blushed, she really didn't know why she was embarrassed and at what. Probably it was because Tony had never seen her naked before.

"I know." he breathed against her neck, feeling her hair sticking to her moist skin. The shower had long been turned off, they were just standing in the cubicle now, enjoying the closeness they shared without Gibbs or McGee barging in on them, "But you know you love it; me not giving up easily I mean." he smirked and softly nuzzled his nose to Kate's neck.

"We really should get out of this shower before the family start wondering where we are." Kate smiled to Tony, though she really didn't want to leave him or the shower. But they had a job to do; protect the family and the Navy Commander.

Tony nodded and gave a gentle sigh, "I guess we should, lets get ready." he smiled to her then but just stood there still.

"You're not moving."

"I know..." he smirked to Kate, staring at her, "Oh, right. Sorry Kate." he then edged out of the shower.

"Good, now we can get going on this case and protection detail." she huffed, not really wanting to move either, but she did. Kate shut off the water and sighed as she reached for her towel and she then wrapped it around herself and glanced to Tony, "Here, wear this." she handed him a bathrobe before stepping out of the cubicle and walking by him, her hair dripping tiny rivulets of the cooling water down her clavicles and under the towel wrapped tightly around her body.

"Kate, I want to take you out to dinner when this case is finished. I do want to do this properly..." Tony smiled to her, picking up the sponge she had thrown at him earlier.

"I know, I'd like that." she smiled before moving towards the bathroom door to leave and go to the room they had been assigned before she left and then headed along the hallway to get dressed for the day's work ahead. Kate knew now that working with Tony was going to be hard.

A few minutes after she left the bathroom and got into the room she had been using, Kate received a phone call on her cell. It was Gibbs. He wasn't scheduled to call she and Tony for at least another fifteen minutes. Bewildered, Kate answered the call to him, "Agent Todd." she even remained professional while talking to her team leader, when she knew it was him before answering.

"What the hell, Kate?" came Gibbs' voice, hissing in her ear down the receiver.

"Excuse me?" she was even more bewildered now. Perhaps he hadn't had his coffee yet, or one of his ex-wives had called him.

"I told you that if you ever tried anything like that I wouldn't give you the chance to resign." Gibbs barked.

"Gibbs...I...I don't know what you're talking about, I really don't."

"You and DiNozzo...!"

Kate let out a slow, defeated breath and sat down on the edge of the bed, "You saw that...?" she finally found her voice again, and managed to increase the volume so Gibbs would be able to hear her.

"See? No." Gibbs retorted.

"Wh-"

"The husband called me, said the daughter couldn't get in the bathroom this morning. Thought it might have been her parents, but she saw her dad wandering round the kitchen in his boxers, mom went out for a jog..."

"Oh my God." Kate sighed and raked her fingers through her hair.

"Where is DiNozzo?" Gibbs questioned.

"He's finishing up in the bathroom." Kate looked to her lap, "Gibbs, I don't know what to say to make this situation any better..."

"Save it, Kate. I don't wanna hear it."

"Well, since Tony's the Senior Field Agent, aren't you destined to shoot him before me?" she tried.

"Kate." Gibbs' tone was signalling to her that it was a warning before he sighed and she heard him sipping his coffee, "Look, if you want to do...this with Tony, at least can you wait until you two are off the clock?"

"What?" she blinked absentmindedly as she stared at the wall ahead of her. Did Gibbs really just say what I thought he said?

"Kate, I don't want to get into this with you. Nothing else can happen while you're on protection detail, otherwise you'll be on with McGee, and Tony will be on with me."

"That's not necessary, Gibbs." she replied.

"You bet your ass it's not." he hung up on her.

Kate was stunned that Gibbs had hung up on her, not because of the action, he'd done it plenty times before, but because of how he just ended the conversation abruptly. She knew that if it was not something he wanted to talk about, he would just walk away, but this involved two of his agents, and he should talk about it with her, and Tony.

"I guess that means I'm not fired then." she said to herself before softly sighing. Kate heard Tony moving along the hallway, whistling to himself, she had to tell him about the phone call she'd just got from Gibbs.

A/N; not a very long chapter, sorry gang. Read and review though!
