A/N: Hey everyone! Long time, no see :)
It's some time since I've made my last update. I'm so bad at getting things done. Mostly because I usually need to re-write everything in my stories three times to be satisfied.
I'm a perfectionist with my writing ^^;;
Anyway.. I've jumped a bit ahead in the story. I basicly skipped the trip from Tonys place to the point where Tony and Ziva are in a cab on the way from Los Angeles airport to the beach house.
This is mostly because I didn't feel like embarrassing myself since my knowledge about US geography is SO bad you won't believe it :p but anyway.. I hope this chapter will please you guys.
I enjoyed writing it (when I finally felt I got it right) and decided to include some "TIVA-playtime" in this ;) it's just a story that lasts a couple of days after all.
And the chapter is on more than 4000 words o_o Holy..! I'm proud! xD
Hope you'll enjoy, and again: sorry for the long wait!

Disclaimer: Sadly, I didn't get NCIS for Christmas like I wanted, so I still don't own the characters we all know and love.
Warning: This chapter contains a sex scene and is thus M-rated.. And it's for a reason, children ;)
"We'll be there in a couple of minutes, Sweetcheeks"
Ziva looked up at the back of the front seat, where her partner was sitting, when he spoke. She couldn't see his face, but still looked as a reflex. She sat by herself in the backseat of the cab, feeling quite nervous now that they were getting closer and closer to the DiNozzo family's beach house in Malibu. She tried to calm herself down but couldn't seem to find that calmness in her right at that moment.
As the cab pulled up into the driveway in front of the big house that was their destination, Ziva couldn't help but let her jaw drop a bit at the sight. Tony's family was obviously wealthier than she had imagined. Even the words "Malibu beach house" hadn't created a picture like this in her head.
She pulled herself together and got out of the car while Tony paid the cabbie, and she was soon joined by them at the back of the car where the cabbie quickly opened the trunk of the car and got them their luggage.
When he drove back the same way he had come from only a minute or two earlier, the two agents looked at each other for a couple of seconds before Tony smiled and with a "shall we?" walked towards the door, followed by his partner.
From Tony rang the doorbell, a couple of seconds passed before the door was opened by a man whose features Ziva immediately recognized as similar to those of Tony's dad's. She quickly figured that he was a younger brother of Anthony DiNozzo Senior.
His hair showed traces of being in the process of changing color from a light brown to grey, and he had a wide smile on his face that, along with the green DiNozzo eyes, couldn't help but make her feel comfortable around this man already.
"Tony!" the man exclaimed and threw an arm around the young agent, patting him on the back in a manly, yet loving way "Welcome! It's wonderful to see you again, boy. It's been such a long time!"
"You too, Uncle" Tony replied
When they broke apart, the man turned his attention towards Ziva.
"And who is this lovely young woman?"
Ziva reached her hand out to greet him "I am Ziva David. Nice to meet you."
He let out a chuckle and pulled her in for a brief hug.
"No need for all the formalities, Ziva. You are a part of the family now! It's such a pleasure to see that Tony has finally found a girl he's serious about. And an incredibly beautiful one at that. Oh, I haven't even introduced myself yet. Where are my manners.. I am Matteo, Tony's Uncle. The youngest of his fathers brothers."
"Thank you" Ziva replied, smiling at the warm welcome she got "And yes, I see the resemblance between you and Tony Senior... Not only apperance-wise," she added.
She then felt Tonys arm around her waist as he pulled her softly towards him with a smile
"That's all a part of the DiNozzo charm, Sweetcheeks."
"Let's go inside and get you introduced to the rest of the family so you two lovebirds can go upstairs to unpack and get some rest before the big day tomorrow"
Ziva shot a quick glance at Tony who merely winked at her and nodded for her to enter the house first.
As they entered the large entree and got a chance to look around, Ziva found that the house was not just big and looked amazingly impressive. It was also very cozy. The floors were of polished tree and had an almost orange tinge to it that made the house seem warm and welcoming.
On the left was a staircase that led upstairs to the 1st floor.
After placing their bags next to the staircase till they could take them upstairs, they hung up their coats and and took off their shoes. Matteo led the way to the living room where two of the DiNozzo family members were seated on the couch, talking.
A middle-aged woman turned around in the couch to look towards the doorway of the living room, where Matteo showed Tony and Ziva in. Her dark blonde hair was neatly pulled into a bun in the back of her neck and she was wearing large, dangling earrings. She looked no older than 40 years of age, despite the fact that she was probably older, Ziva thought.
A wide smile appeared on the woman's face as she saw them enter the room. She got up and rushed towards Tony who opened his arms and exclaimed "Auntie!" as she reached him and they hugged.
"Oh, Tony! It's so wonderful that you were able to join us this weekend" she said before turning to Ziva.
"And you must be Tony's girlfriend – we've been looking forward to meeting you, dear! I'm Alice. Matteo's wife"
She shook Ziva's hand warmly.
"Nice to meet you. I am Ziva David" the Israeli replied with a smile.
"Oh my – that's quite a name. May I ask where you are from, Ziva?"
"I am from Israel, where I used to live just outside Tel Aviv. I just recently became an American citizen however. And I now live in Washington, just about 20 minutes from Tony."
"That's wonderful! I thought the way you looked was very exotic. Now, how about I stop rambling and let you meet the rest of the family?" she kept the warm smile on her face and held out her arm towards the couch where the beautiful, younger woman she sat next to just moments earlier was now standing up..
Tony walked over to his partner and let his hand find hers, their fingers entwining as he softly pulled her with him towards the woman.
"Ziva," she greeted "Nice to meet you. I'm Nicole"
"Hello Nicole. Nice to meet you too" Ziva replied, before looking to Tony for a second and then back to her.
"How're you doing, little bro?" Nicole said, looking at Tony with a smile.
"You are Tony's sister?" Ziva asked with wide eyes.
"Indeed I am" she replied with a grin.
When Ziva got a closer look at Nicole, she could definitely see the resemblance. Nicole had long brown hair and the same shiny, green eyes as Tony, and she was clearly as gorgeous as Tony was handsome.
"So Ziva.. Since you're an agent like Tony, I trust you to kick his butt when it's needed then. Or at least keep him somewhat in check" she said, laughing a bit
"Do not worry. I have been doing that since I came to NCIS"
"Well, Sweetcheeks, if anyone could kick my butt it would be you," Tony added and gave her hand a squeeze.
Nicole looked at her with a confused look, at which Ziva started explaining.
"Before I became an NCIS special agent, I was assigned to the team as a liaison officer. I am a former Mossad officer trained in hand-to-hand combat as well as ranged weapons, and I used to be a part of the Mossad special operations unit as well, specializing in assassinations and paramilitary operations. Apart from that, I have also been in the Israeli army – the Defence Force - for two years."
The expressions Nicole as well as Tony's aunt and uncle had on their faces had become quite marked by the shock of Zivas past and former profession. Just as she started wondering if she shouldn't have told them, Tony grinned and made a face that looked both cocky and odd as he turned to his sister and with a rusty voice said:
"You see.. In this world there are two kinds of people, my friend.. Those with loaded guns, and-"
"What are you talking about, Tony?" Ziva interrupted him "There are more than two kinds of people in the world."
"He was just quoting one of his silly movies, Ziva" Nicole said as she chuckled
"Hey- The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is a classic western movie. Clint Eastwood's performance was magnificent in that one. Epic, I tell you.."
"Do you need a moment?" Nicole said as she winked at him.
The two women exchanged hopelessly amused looks as Tony protested and they walked out on the terrace and down to the beach to greet the rest of the DiNozzo family.
TIVA-TIVA-TIVA-TIVA-TIVA-TIVA-TIVA-TIVA
After meeting the entire family, Tony and Ziva decided to take their bags upstairs and retreat to their room for the day. It had been a long trip from Washington D.C. to Malibu, and they needed some rest before the family reunion started for real on Saturday.
Being familiar with the house and thus knowing the way to their room, Tony led the way down the hall on the 1st floor to the last door on the right – the side of the house that was facing the beach – and opened the door.
The room was quite big and seemed luxurious from the very first glance. Amongst other things it had a flat-screen TV, a queen size bed with creamy white sheets and a single comfy-looking armchair with a cover matching in color standing under a large window facing the ocean and beach.
The window was slightly open, and the long curtains that hung at the sides of it was moving a bit with every blow of wind that came.
Tony turned to his partner and smiled
"Pretty nice, eh?"
"Very," she responded, genuinely impressed "It is quite a guestroom. Large bed, flat-screen TV... And quite the view from here too" she added as she walked to the window and dumped her bag on the chair - admiring the last warm colors of the sunset in the horizon.
Tony looked at her as she stood there, next to the window and close to the bed, once again stunned by how good she looked.
".. Indeed" he replied, a little late.
He was suddenly reminded by their very first undercover mission, and decided to test her memory just for fun.
"You know.. We have a lot of channels on the TV here, so we won't be bored in the evenings. My uncle has the big satellite package. Though "I take it you're not interested in the premium channels"?"
She spun around and smirked at her partner, her eyes connecting with his as memories of what had come next on their undercover mission back then took over their minds.
Ziva walked towards her partner as she spoke with a voice that sounded quite seducing.
"Correct, Tony... There's only one thing I'm interested in right now."
When she suddenly stood there in front of him, trailing a finger down his chest, he felt himself shiver slightly and await her next move.
She leaned in close to him, slowly moving to stand on her toes as her mouth came towards his. He could feel her warm breath on his lips, though he didn't dare to move himself.
Right before their lips met, she moved to the side and let her lips move to his ear where she whispered "What I am interested in right now... Is unpacking"
She licked the lobe of his ear to tease him, not knowing that was exactly what would un-freeze him from the "shocked-of-beauty"-state he was in.
When she spun around to walk to the chair with her bag on it, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back to him. He clearly caught her by surprise and she let out a small un-Ziva-like yelp as he pulled her to him, making their upper bodies clash.
She looked up at him, finding his eyes darker than usual.
"Tony, what are you-?"
"We should kiss" he broke her off.
"What? Why?"
"We'll need to be convincing this weekend. And it's nearly five years since we had that undercover mission that actually required us to act like lovers.. The sweet act we've been putting on for my family is working fine, but tomorrow.. My dad will arrive. He will know it's all a lie if we don't act more.. Passionate. If we kiss for the first time since then now instead of tomorrow in front of him, it'll be both easier and more convincing" he argued, hearing how silly his reasoning sounded, but not caring much.
"You must be joking, Tony" Ziva replied, trying, but not succeeding, at not showing how uneasy she was with the current situation.
One of his hands was still holding her wrist while the other found its way around her waist, holding her close. For once, he maintained a serious face, which was giving her doubts about whether or not he was trying to joke around.
They kept eye contact, and stood completely still for a moment, until Tony slowly moved his head towards her. Unlike the time they had been undercover and kissed for the first time, there was no seductive glance from Ziva now, as she this time had no real cover and alternate personality to hide behind. She was nervous, and Tony could see it.
Her eyes were intentionally avoiding his now that they were this close.
Ziva was unconsciously closing her eyes as the distance between them shortened, and she felt his hot breath tickle her on her lips, but when she suddenly felt her partner stop, she opened her eyes to look at him. He was still holding her, and still very close.
"Why...?" Tony asked.
Ziva raised both her eyebrows in confusion. His face was hard for her to read, but she found no anger or irritation.
He continued
"Why are you letting me-?"
He broke his own question off, not wanting to say "Why are you letting me kiss you?"
"I was not let-"
"Why are you-!" he sighed before continuing "Why did you agree to come here with me this weekend, knowing very well what it meant.. What we will have to act like? Don't you have Señor South Beach?"
"I.. I thought I would help you out" Ziva stuttered at the sudden change of Tony's behavior – from self-confident to upset.
He moved closer to her again.
"Don't give me that..." he replied, leaving her confused, but not for many seconds as his lips a moment later touched hers in a soft, yet insistent kiss.
At that moment, both of them seemed to forget everything but each other.
Ziva tilted her head to the side and opened her mouth to her partner who instantly slipped his tongue into her mouth, meeting her in a heated kiss. It felt more amazing than she remembered, and she couldn't help but let a long-awaited thought into her head.
Finally! It has been so long!
She sucked lightly at his tongue, earning a throaty moan from him that made a wave of desire wash over her when she heard it.
When Tony suddenly moved his hand up to caress one of her soft breasts through her shirt, she broke their kiss for a moment by letting out a small gasp. Tony never thought he'd get to hear Ziva make sounds like that again, and for real this time, but nevertheless, it turned him on more than he could believe.
The closest he came to having heard her make a sound like that had been only months after she got assigned to their team as a liaison officer – when they went undercover. But now, it was just the two of them, without any surveillance. They had become good friends, and were thus not just two strangers being attracted to each other. They were partners. They were alone in a room, with no false identities, and there was no doubt in Tony's mind about what he wanted to hear her say before the weekend came to an end.
His name.
He wanted to hear that sweet, yet always so determined and strong voice say his name with a moan. Call it out.
With his free hand he reached around his partner and grabbed her ass, giving it a firm squeeze. He moved forward with Ziva till she felt the edge of the bed press against the back of her legs.
Tony pushed her down on the bed and continued to kiss her deeply, their tongues caressing each other as they wrestled for dominance in their mouths.
He was on all fours on top of her, his head bent down in order for it to be possible for him to keep his mouth connected to hers, when he suddenly felt her hands tugging at the front of his pants, fumbling desperately to get them opened.
He let his lips descend to her neck, sucking as he let the tip of his tongue dance across her soft olive skin. Ziva could feel it tickle slightly where it hit her.
When she finally got his belt unbuckled and his zipper zipped down, she very quickly realized how much Tony had been restrained since they began kissing and touching each other. She caressed the large, exposed bulge in his navy blue boxers and let her hand grab and squeeze his hard member through the soft cotton fabric.
Tony's breath now came in what sounded like pants or huffs, and when he felt Ziva touch his rock hard member, he moaned softly into her ear as he sucked on the sensitive lobe.
He couldn't help himself anymore. He ran his one hand through her curly, brown hair as he with the other hand tilted her chin up so their eyes could meet. Her lips were pink and flushed, and her eyes now finally connected with his again.
At a first glance, nothing but lust could be found in her eyes, but after another second of looking into them, Tony could see that she now seemed almost... Scared?
"T.. Tony..." she stuttered
"I want you.." he said, looking directly into her eyes before he bent down to whisper in her ear "God, I want you.."
"We should not do this, Tony" she replied, pulling her hand away from his pants, despite realizing how cliché it sounded and that it really wasn't a very determined attempt to stop what they where doing.
Tony took her hand in his and kissed it before bringing it back to their previous position, cupping his rock hard member through his boxers, urging her to forget reason and do what he sensed she wanted. Him.
When she gave him a single stroke in what he found to be approval of continuation, he met her with a thrust against her hand and kissed her deeply once more.
He pulled up her shirt just a couple of inches and covered her belly with small, passionate kisses before tugging at her shirt to get it off. Ziva pulled it over her head and revealed a black lace bra that Tony immediately reached behind her to snap off as well.
With their eagerness, it didn't take more than a minute before they were both naked and had locked the door to the room, not wanting to be interrupted.
Tony pushed Ziva back down on the bed and held her hands over her head as he went down on her breasts, licking and sucking the hard nipples. She moaned and squirmed beneath him, rubbing her legs together to relieve some of the tension she was feeling there. It didn't go unnoticed by Tony who now moved between her legs, spreading them to reveal her hot core.
She tried to press her legs together again, but he kept them apart and got closer to the part of Zivas body that was so desperately demanding his attention.
He couldn't find it in him to be all gentle and soft, so he licked her hard up and down her wet folds.
"You're so wet for me, Ziva" he moaned as he licked and sucked on her.
"Don't tease me, Tony" Ziva replied with a gasp.
"Or I'll kill you with whatever object I can find first"
He chuckled lightly at her desperate threat and darted his tongue out to flick her clit.
At that moment, Ziva couldn't take it any longer and pushed Tony off her, straddling him on the bed.
"I can not wait any longer" she said - not looking him in the eyes though.
She grabbed his hard cock and rubbed it back and forth against her wetness, lubricating him, before she sank down on him, moaning out loud at finally feeling him inside her.
She needed a moment to adjust to his size, but didn't wait longer than absolutely necessary to start riding him.
"Ghh.. Ahh, you're so tight, Ziva" Tony moaned encouragingly, grabbing her hips as she started moving, helping her find a steady pace.
He watched her ride him with half-lidded eyes and let her be in control for a while, till she started moaning and panting, obviously losing her strength as she came closer to her climax.
He repositioned them so she was on the bed and he was on top of her, and then used one of his hands to play with her nipples as the other one found its way to her clit, teasing her by softly rubbing his thumb in circles over it.
She gasped in pleasure as his soft finger came into contact with her most sensitive spot.
"Oh God! T-Tony! I.. Can not.. Hold it back.. Much longer!" she moaned between his powerful thrusts. She was getting close to the edge.
"Don't, Zee! Don't hold back.. Come for me!" he told her, panting and desperately trying to hold on to his own control for a bit longer, wanting to come with her.
She couldn't keep going anymore and cried out his name as her inner walls contracted around him.
The soft squeeze of her muscles triggered Tony's orgasm as well, and with a deep thrust followed by a groan, he came inside her.
When their orgasms subsided, he pulled away from her and let himself collapse next to her on the bed, still panting slightly from the pleasure. He looked at her out of the corner of his eye, his head only slightly tilted towards her. She pulled the sheets up to cover the front of her body before she let her eyes meet with his.
A couple of seconds passed where all they heard was each others breaths and the wind blowing outside their slightly opened window.
Finally Tony spoke.
"No regrets?"
She shook her head a single time before giving him a small smile. He smiled back at her upon seeing her response as he reached out to her, running his fingers through her soft hair.
For the first time he could remember, Tony experienced a moment that he wanted to last forever.
