Couples: Leroy Jethro Gibbs & Suede Hoyt

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Me and Sarah had settled in to living with Jethro. There were times he didn't come home all night because he was working a case but he would be there in the morning, usually about 0600, to check on us, when he came home for a shower and a change of clothes before he headed back to work. We had been there a month so far. I had eventually told Jethro Sarah's father's name, as long as he promised to just get him help and he had. He had sent me a letter, it told me he just wanted to cut ties from me and Sarah completely. I didn't mind, I figured that was what was going to happen. I didn't love him and Sarah didn't seem to mind either.

Sarah had warmed up to Jethro, she liked him a lot. He showed her how to work on his boat when he was home. Abby came to visit and Sarah played with her and watched movies. She even had a few sleepovers at Abby's on the weekends when she wasn't working. Those two acted like sisters and I smirked as I thought about them. I was glad that Sarah was making friends here. I had met Tony, Tim and Ziva when I had gone to where Jethro worked because he had forgotten his glasses. I would take him some lunch sometimes too. They were nice, and good people, from what I could tell.

Tim talked to me a little, once when I'd visited, he set his computer and my laptop up, so we could talk, instant messaging I think they called it, I would receive a message, like a text on a mobile and I could answer him by typing back into my lap top. He'd done it while Jethro was talking to the Director. We both wrote books and he said he had read some of my mystery novels and we had connected on that. I had to smile, he was a nervous man but he was a sweet guy. I could see why Abby liked him the way she did. They had dated at one point but she just wasn't ready for commitment then. Now she was, but she wasn't sure about it because they worked so closely together. I told her to do what her heart told her to. For myself, my heart was telling me that my old crush on Jethro was still there, and I was slowly starting to fall for him even harder than before.

I couldn't see him wanting to be with a deaf woman. Really, I don't see how I could make him happy. My first real relationship, I had failed big time. I was sitting in the kitchen, writing. It was Friday and Abby had been by when she finished at work. She was planning to have a whole weekend of fun with Sarah. I trusted Abby with her because Jethro trusted her and I had got to know her. They were going to Tony's tonight for movie night, they were going to have a James Bond marathon. Sarah would like that, she liked spy and mystery movies. Jethro came into the house and he sat down at the table where I was working on my lap top. He tapped the top of my lab top and signed.

"Abby already come and got Sarah?" I nodded.

"Yeah, seems they're going to Tony's to have a James Bond marathon. She likes Tony and Abby, so she should have fun." He signed back.

"For a man that doesn't get along with children, he seems to get along great with Sarah."

I laughed and signed back.

"Well, Sarah is easy to like and get along with." He nodded and signed back.

"I agree with you there, she is a sweet girl who is very likable. She very good for her age too. I remember at that age, I was very disagreeable with my father." I smirked and signed back.

"I remember those days! You were more a wild child than anything else, Jethro. Sarah isn't."

He nodded and looked to me.

"Let's go to dinner tonight and then maybe we can take a nice walk in the park?" I looked at him and tilted my head before I signed back to him.

"Sure you don't have anything more important to do tonight? I am not that special, Jethro. I am just a deaf woman. You don't have to entertain me." He stood up and walked over to me, he was looking into my eyes and cupping my chin to make sure I could see his lips.

"I don't want to see you sign that again! You mean a lot to me and you are not "just a deaf woman", you have talent. Just 'cause you can't hear doesn't make you any less special than anyone else out there in the world. Got me, Suede?" He let go of my chin so I could sign. I knew better to say something like, that's what you think.

"Dinner and a walk in a park sounds wonderful, Jethro. Thank you." He nodded to me as he signed.

"We'll head out at 2000 for dinner, then we'll go for a walk after that. Would you prefer walking on the beach or in the park?" I looked at him and signed.

"The beach sounds nice, it's a full moon tonight." He nodded and signed back.

"I am going to go take a shower and get ready."

I nodded and stood up. I had already had a shower but I headed upstairs to find something to wear for tonight. As I headed up stairs, I was thinking frantically about what was in my closet. Eventually I settled on a spaghetti strap dress that was a soft blue, that would work. The dress fell down to just above my knee, it was cut well so it really fitted me just right, it even showed some cleavage. Hell, I didn't know what I was doing, was I making a fool of myself? I slid it on and braided my hair into a French braid. I wasn't one for make up so I didn't bother putting any on. I walked downstairs. I blushed as Jethro looked me up and down and he sighed.

"You look beautiful, Suede. You ready to go?" I nodded and signed back.

"Thank you, and yes I am ready."

We drove to the restaurant. It was a nice little Italian one and when we were settled, he ordered the wine and what we were going to eat. I didn't mind, I liked almost everything and what he'd ordered was something I liked. We sat waiting for our food, making small talk about how our day had gone and how Sarah was doing in school. When we were done at the restaurant, we drove in silence to the beach. When we got out, we walked a little. He had a blanket, he eventually set it down as we sat down to watch the ocean waves and look at the full moon over the water, leaning against each other. He stroked my face before turning it to him, he kissed me slowly. I softly slid my hands up over his chest as he kissed me slowly.

I felt his tongue softly slide along my lower lip and I parted my lips, softly sucking on his tongue. I felt the vibration of his groan as I sucked on his tongue. He pulled back and signed to me.

"Ever made love on the beach?" I blushed, shaking my head, no, as he kissed me again. Ever so slowly his hands slid along my thighs, easing up my skirt. He was going slow enough so if I wanted him to stop I had the chance to say so. I slid his shirt off as he kissed down my neck and I moaned softly. He spread my legs as his finger slid along my panties. I moved against his touch and he slid them down my legs and put them to the side. He started to stroke my pussy lips. I threw my head back, softly moaning, and he started to stroke my clit softly. I slide my hands up his bare chest. I started to get wet for him.

I was so wet as he slid the spaghetti straps down my arms, I took my arms out of the straps, and his lips captured one of my hard nipples and he softly started to suck on them. I slide my hand down as his fingers massaged my clit. I undid his jeans and pushed them down, he stopped for a moment and looked into my eyes. As he looked at me, he kissed me slowly and I slid one hand along his neck as my other hand reached down and cupped his cock, stroking it. I could feel him groan again against my lips. He slid between my legs, he had become fully hard, he looked deep into my eyes and said, "You sure?"

I nodded, dragging his lips to mine. As we kissed, he pushed his pants down far enough and he positioned himself ready to enter me. I bit at his shoulder softly, not breaking the skin, as he started to move inside me. My dress was bunched around my stomach. He pulled out of me, slid a condom out of his wallet and put it on before he entered me again. He kissed me before sliding his lips down and taking my nipple in his mouth again. I lifted my knee up, alongside his ribs, as he moved deep inside me. I thrust up against him, moaning. He felt so good, filling me. I went to cry out, he kissed me and I could feel him jerk inside me, as we both came together.

He held me for a while after we made love. We got are clothes back on and we laid there for a while longer. We didn't say anything as we drove home, he stroked my hair out of my face and I blushed. When we got home, I was headed to my room. He stopped me and took me to his room. He undressed me and we made love all through the night. It was passion that I had never felt the like of, ever before. I wasn't thinking about what was going to happen after all this was over, but right now, I wanted him and I wanted to feel him touch me. I wanted to feel my hands move over his skin as we made love and held each other. We finally fell asleep in the early hours of the morning.

I woke to a softly shake of my shoulder and a hand sliding down my back. He signed, "Let's eat some breakfast."

I nodded, stood up and ran my hands through my hair as I slid out of the bed and slipped my shirt and jeans on. I walked downstairs to smile at him as he started to cook some food.
