Chapter 3

The moment she walks through the door of her apartment she almost lets out a scream. Daniel Brown is sitting on her couch with a smile on his face and she is sure he doesn't have the key to her apartment. This can't be good.

Kensi tries to mask her worries and closes the door behind her with a small smile on her face before turning to her unwanted guest. "May I ask how did you manage to get inside my apartment?"

Daniel gets up with that mysterious look on his face and walks closer to her.

Kensi's first instinct tells her to take a step back because being this close to this guy is not good in any way. However she doesn't break cover and doesn't even blink an eye. "You're good."

Kensi frowns with his words and doesn't let the fact that he didn't answer her question slip away just like that. "I have no idea of what you mean and that hardly seems like an answer to my previous question. How did you get inside my apartment without a key?"

Daniel lets out a small genuine laugh this time and takes one step closer to her.

Kensi notices that one more step and he'll have her pinned against the wall of the entrance but she doesn't move. "How would you react if I told you I picked your lock?"

Kensi tries to remain strong and keep her voice steady which becomes a very difficult task.

He's too close and she wishes she could say that the emotion running through her is either fear or adrenaline.

Somehow, she knows it's neither of those. It's a feeling that warms her body.

She speaks anyway, trying not to let out how nervous his proximity makes her. "It wouldn't surprise me that much. You are obviously a bad guy and my lock is not that good. A kid would be able to get inside without trying too hard. I guess that the real question is: why did you get in?"

That's when he takes the step.

Daniel has her pinned against the wall, his arms caging her in and his body pressed to her.

She fights back the moan that threatens to escape with the feeling of his body being so close to hers, his eyes staring right into hers as if trying to read her and the warm that emanates from his body.

Their faces are so close that she can feel his breath on her lips and needs to remain strong in order not to just close her eyes and kiss him right away.

She can't trust him and she knows that but her body is reacting without caring about her brain and there's nothing she can do to stop it.

She tries to tell herself she's only staying true to her cover but the warm that spreads through her body like a fire is most definitely not something that can be faked.

And then he talks and she can swear the temperature in the room has just heated up. "Maybe I wanted to find you here, all alone, lying on your bed with nothing but a small tight shirt on and have my way with you. Maybe I wanted to scare the hell out of you just for the fun of it. Maybe I wanted to find out what you use when you sleep. These all seem like pretty reasonable reasons, don't you think?"

Kensi forces herself to meet his eyes but regrets that decision the moment she looks up.

His bright blue orbs combined with the warm of his body and the ticklish feeling of his breath on her face is going to be the death of her.

She knows it and she has the weird feeling he knows it too.

Maybe that's his plan.

She plays along and tells herself the only reason why she does it is because she needs to make sure her identity is not compromised.

God, she would be in so much trouble if she allowed herself to be honest with her feelings.

She never felt like this before, never had such a strong reaction to any other guy before. "If you really wanted to see that you could have asked. I would have let you watch, you know? You didn't have to come inside my house and act like a stalker…"

Daniel strokes her waist with one of his hands, keeping the other one by her head, on the wall, to keep her in place. "And what would be the fun in that?"

Kensi shrugs, trying hard to ignore how good his hand feels on her waist. "You didn't say you wanted to have fun. You just said you were curious."

Daniel manages to push her shirt just two inches up and his hand rests on the bare skin of her waist.

She shivers and they both know this can't be just because of the coldness of his hand.

He smirks when he notices her reaction and looks into her eyes.

His voice in no louder than a whisper when he talks because they don't need to speak any louder than that to listen to each other. "I meant what I said a while ago. You are very good."

Kensi frowns and sees the glint on his eyes, the mischievous smile on his face. "What do you mean?"

Daniel leans in to kiss, suck and bite the pulse point on her neck, making her close her eyes and let out something that is pretty close to a moan. Her hand makes its way to his hair and strokes it. Her legs are starting to turn into jelly and she would have fallen if his arms weren't keeping her in place.

Then he pulls away from her neck and looks into her eyes once again, still with that goofy smile on his face. "The first time I saw you I wasn't sure of what to think about you. But now I just got the proof of how good you are. You let me pin you against the wall, allowed me to touch you and you even let me do that hickey on your neck."

His next words make her blood run cold. "It takes a very good undercover agent to endure something like this without batting an eye."

Kensi is completely frozen in the spot.

He is stronger than her and he has her pinned against a wall with no way to escape. Sure, she could try to fight him but she is not sure if she could manage to escape a guy like him. He's not only strong. He's also smart.

He knows she's not who she claims to be.

This is it.

There's no way for her to survive something like this.

He seems to sense her fear and lets out a laugh, making her frown.

Then he speaks again to ease her worries. "I'm Detective Marty Deeks, Agent Blye. I'm here working undercover for NYPD and yes, I've know you are undercover too since the moment my boss talked to your boss which was before I came undercover. I'm not going to kill you. You can breathe now."

Kensi does the first thing she can think of.

She slaps him hard across the face and he looks at her shocked, giving two steps back.

Then she smiles sweetly at him, which scares him even more than the fire he saw in her eyes just a few seconds ago. "Scare me like that again and I'll make sure you never have children, Detective."

Kensi walks to the kitchen and Deeks shakes his head with a light smile on his face.

She's definitely his kind of girl.

This is going to be fun.
