Gibbs poured another cup of coffee and glanced at his watch before walking into the living room. He had a fire going, not for warmth, but for possibly cooking steaks. Actually, the weather was almost perfect for a fire. Later to night, the fire would be a welcomed addition to the cool fall night. Leaning against the mantel, Gibbs took a sip of coffee and stared into the flames.
He wasn't coming. Gibbs sighed, he should have known. Shouldn't have gotten his hopes up after that kiss last night. Tony was scared, to scared to even try a relationship with a man, let alone with him. Watching the flames sputter, Gibbs sat down his coffee cup, about to pick up another log to toss on the fire, but stopped. Why even bother. Since he was going to be by himself tonight he'd just have coffee for dinner.
"I'm no expert but I think you may want to add more wood to that."
Gibbs turned towards the voice, Tony was standing at the edge of the living room.
"Yeah, um, I probably should." Reaching down, Gibbs tossed another log on the fire, the wood crackling and popping as it started to burn.
"Does this mean we're having steaks?" Tony asked.
Looking back up, Tony was now standing beside him.
"If you're up for it."
"Yeah." Tony smiled.
"Okay." Gibbs nodded.
"You thought I wasn't coming?" Tony's eyes fixed on Gibbs.
"I had my doubts." Gibbs sighed. "It's after six."
Tony looked at his watch and chuckled. "It's 6:04."
"Right."
"I hit traffic on the bridge."
"I'm just glad you're here." Gibbs reached out, his hand brushed against Tony's, entwining their fingers. The simple action caused Tony to step closer. Gently pulling their joined hands behind his back, Gibbs brought Tony's body against his. His face drifted towards Tony's, his lips brushing against the younger mans momentarily, then capturing them forcefully as the longing took over. Tony's free hand clutched at Gibbs' neck drawing them even closer begging for it to never end.
Still, the need to catch their breath finally forced them apart, Tony's forehead resting against Gibbs.
"You look good." Gibbs sighed.
The seemingly odd statement made Tony laugh. "Thanks. So do you."
"Nothing odd about telling someone they look good." Gibbs scoffed.
"No." Tony's laughter now a dull chuckle. "Just um-"
"Would it be better if I said you look good enough to eat."
Tony drew back, smiling at Gibbs. "Yeah."
"You do." Gibbs licked his lips, letting his eyes skim down Tony's body then slowly work their way back up.
"Now that was definitely leering at me." Tony grinned. "And you can't deny it like you did last night."
"No I was leering." Gibbs nodded. "Most definitely leering."
The grin faded from Tony's face, surprised by the wanton look in Gibbs' eyes.
"Did I miss something between earlier this morning and now?" Tony asked confused by Gibbs sudden overtly sexual desire.
"I couldn't get you out of my head last night." Gibbs whispered as he inhaled deeply, drawing in the scent of Tony that filled the air around him. "Had dreams about you...so many dreams."
Tony shivered in Gibbs' arms, the arousal pouring off of Gibbs and seeping into Tony.
"Dreams?" Tony sighed. "What kinda dreams?"
"Of you naked in my bed." Gibbs' lips brushed against Tony's ear. "Begging me, pleading with me."
"For what?" Tony's voice was barely a whisper.
"To make love to you." Gibbs moaned. "Over and over again."
"And did you?" Tony whimpered. "Did you give me what I wanted...what I begged for?"
"Yes." Gibbs growled still at Tony's ear. "And it still wasn't enough for you. You wanted more and more."
"Jethro."
"I just wanted you to know." Gibbs took a deep breath reigning in the lust that had filled his being. When he spoke again his voice was calm, all trace of desire and need gone. "Are you ready for dinner?"
Tony couldn't help it he threw his head back and he broke out laughing. "OH MY GOD!"
"What?" Gibbs asked, looking bewildered as he released Tony.
"You are-" Tony left the sentence unfinished. Both hands on Gibbs' chest, he shoved Gibbs hard. "That was-"
Gibbs smirked.
"I should hit you! HARD!" Tony ran his hands down his face. "What the hell? Is this torture Tony day?"
"I was just explaining the dream."
"In that voice! That sexy, deep guttural voice."
"I didn't realize you thought my voice was sexy." Gibbs really didn't.
"You're an evil sadistic bastard." Tony shook his head.
"Now that I've been told several times."
"Why is it so damn hot in here!" Tony groaned.
"Fire." Gibbs nodded towards the fire place.
"SMART ASS!" Tony rolled his eyes.
"Been called that too."
"Just make the damn steaks." Tony smirked.
##################################################################################
"Seriously I'm cooking for you." Tony swallowed, as he glanced over at Gibbs sitting next to him on the couch. "Pasta, garlic bread the works."
"Fine with me." Gibbs said through a mouthful of steak. "I just didn't realize you knew how to cook."
"Well I do." Tony smiled. "So Penne, linguine, spaghetti what do you want?"
"Cooks choice."
"I'll surprise you then." Tony grinned.
"You already have." Gibbs smirked, captivated by Tony's natural ease tonight.
"Yeah well." Tony pushed the small remaining chunk of steak around his plate.
Gibbs' fingers brushed over Tony's thigh. "Your sexy when you just let it happen. Just being you, making me laugh and smile."
Tony nodded. "I can be myself with you."
"That's what I want."
"God I don't know why." Tony chuckled nervously.
Taking the fork from Tony's hand, Gibbs laid it down and pushed Tony back on the couch. Tony went willingly, sliding back as Gibbs' body dropped down next to him and they lay face to face.
Gibbs' hand caressed over Tony's face, his finger tracing a path down his jaw to his lips. Tony sighed his hand squeezing Gibbs' hips. Gibbs' lips placed a quick kiss on Tony's, before drifting down and kissing his neck.
Tony moaned turning his head slightly to give Gibbs better access. He took it, nipping and kissing at Tony's jugular feeling the pulse quicken under his lips.
"You." Gibbs growled against Tony's neck. "Are exactly what I want."
Another moan as Tony's hand slipped from Gibbs' hip to his ass and squeezed.
"And right now." Gibbs kissed down Tony's throat. "I wanna touch you."
Tony waited for the touch, wanted it, craved it.
"Just like this." Gibbs' lips found their way back up Tony's throat to his ear. "Fully clothed just kissing and touching you."
"Jethro." Tony clawed at Gibbs' ass. "This is a change from last night."
"No it isn't." Gibbs drew back and focused on those amazing green eyes. "I want you. I said I wouldn't be just sex. And this isn't about sex. This is me touching you, discovering what turns you on."
"You turn me on."
Gibbs' fingers caressed down Tony's spine stopping at the small of his back and pressing slightly. Tony whimpered.
"I love the small of your back." Gibbs sighed. "Do you know how many times I've touched you here but never like I really wanted to."
Tony felt Gibbs' finger tips claw at the small of his back.
"Can't wait to kiss you there." Gibbs groaned. "Over and over again."
"Yes." Tony whispered.
Gibbs' hand sweep down Tony's hip and thigh, then raked its way back up. "So many times I stood behind you and just wanted to run my hands over your hips and down your thighs."
"I would have loved that."
Gibbs squeezed Tony's thigh. "Solid muscle, so strong."
Tony forced himself to take a deep breath.
"And these hips." Gibbs panted clutching Tony's hip. "Wanted to just grab them and jerk you against me, press your body against mine." As he said it he did just that, causing Tony to take a sharp breath.
Tony's breathing was erratic, his heart beating frantically, his body burning with desire. His hand moved to rest on Gibbs' chest, feeling the other man's heartbeat just as frantic.
"I'll clutch and claw at these hips when I make love to you." Gibbs' kissed Tony's neck.
"Oh God I want that."
Gibbs grabbed Tony's ass and squeezed. "And this amazing ass."
Tony's moan caught in his throat as his eyes fluttered closed.
"I love watching you walk away from me." Gibbs growled. "In those tight slacks and suits. The fabric just hugging your ass."
A whimper escaped Tony's lips.
"Do you know the things I've thought about doing to this tight ass of yours." Gibbs massaged Tony's backside.
"Tell me." Tony begged.
"Bending you over my desk and taking you." A pause. "Burying my hard cock inside you."
"Oh fuck." Tony panted. "Jethro."
"Or just stopping the elevator when we're alone." Gibbs nipped at Tony's neck. "Yanking your pants down using my fingers to tease you, open you up, make you want me."
"I want you." God Tony wanted to come, was so close. "What about this?" He ripped Gibbs' hand from his ass and placed it between them on his hard cock.
A low growl ripped from Gibbs' lips as he squeezed Tony's hard cock.
"Did you want this?" Tony asked, thrusting into Gibbs' hand.
"God yes." Gibbs roared. "Wanted my lips wrapped around it, taking you deep down my throat and making you come."
Tony couldn't breathe, his lungs refusing to take in air.
"I wanna taste you, swallow every last drop." Gibbs' hand rubbed over Tony's cock. "Lick you clean."
"Jethro." Tony cried out as he came, his body convulsing, his cock slamming into Gibbs' hand.
"God Tony." Gibbs continued to rub and stroke Tony's jean covered cock until he felt it start to soften again.
Tony grabbed the side of Gibbs face. "Is that what you wanted? Wanted to hear me scream your name as I came."
"Wasn't exactly my plan but-" Gibbs eye fixed on Tony's. "It sounded amazing."
"Are you always like this?" Tony asked.
"Like what?" Gibbs sighed, wrapping his arm around Tony's waist.
"Vocal, sensual, erotic." Tony licked his lips. "I wanted to come before you even touched my cock."
"Before you made me touch your cock." Gibbs smirked.
"Semantics." Tony grinned.
"And yes." Gibbs rubbed his hand down Tony's back. "I'm always like this."
Tony moaned.
"When I'm with someone I want."
"I really like it." Tony took a deep breath.
"I learned a long time ago sex isn't just between your legs."
"I get that." Tony chuckled. "Believe me I get it."
"Good." Gibbs nodded. "You have some clothes in the bottom drawer of the dresser upstairs."
"I do?" Tony's eyebrow went up.
"From last time you stayed." Gibbs smiled, then smacked Tony's ass. "Now go clean up."
"I'm not done here yet." Tony smirked his hand started to slide down Gibbs' chest.
Gibbs grabbed it, kissing Tony's wrist then getting up. "Go."
"Okay." Tony said, slightly off put by Gibbs dismissal.
Sensing Tony's concern, Gibbs smiled. "We have plenty of time."
#################################################################################
Tony came back down the stairs to find the dishes cleared and two more beers on the coffee table, Gibbs sitting on the couch feet up on the table in front of him.
"I have been looking all over for this sweatshirt." Tony looked at the red Ohio State sweatshirt he was wearing.
"Well you found it." Gibbs chuckled.
Laying down on the couch, Tony put his head in Gibbs' lap.
"Comfortable?"
"Yeah." Tony was more comfortable than he had been in a very long time.
Running his fingers through Tony's hair, Gibbs watched the younger man, Tony's eyes fluttered closed as he combed through the thick mane
"So sexy." Gibbs sighed.
A smile curled up at the corner of Tony's lips. "I know."
The head slap was soft and quick.
Tony's eyes shot open. "What the hell?"
"Hand slipped." Gibbs smirked.
"Yeah right." Tony rolled his eyes.
Tony's phone on the table rang out and he looked down at the caller id. He rolled his eyes and silenced the phone.
"Ignoring someone?"
"Abby." Tony groaned
"So why are you ignoring Abby?"
"Because she knows I had a date and she just wants to be nosy!"
Gibbs stopped. "She knows you had a date?"
"Not with you." Tony reassured Gibbs. "If that's what you were worried about."
"No." Gibbs suddenly shook his head as a disturbing thought entered his mind. "Why did you go to that bar last night?"
"Don't ask!"
"Abby and Ducky wanted you to go." Gibbs' eyes narrowed.
"How did you know that?"
"Damn it." Gibbs barked. "They set us up."
"What?" Tony sat up.
"Abby and Ducky asked me to go to that bar. Wanted me to try and meet someone."
"Those two are so dead!" Tony glared
"Oh no." Gibbs smirked. "I have a better idea."
"Payback?" Tony grinned.
"Oh yeah." Gibbs nodded with an evil grin.
"Tell me?" Tony asked climbing onto Gibbs' lap.
"Um." Gibbs took a deep breath. "A plan."
"Yeah, like what? Saran wrapping their cars? Oh wait!" Tony laughed, wiggling on Gibbs' lap. "Getting them in autopsy and super gluing the doors shut!"
Gibbs didn't respond.
"Come on that's funny. Them both walking up to the door expecting it to open!" Tony smirked. Looking at Gibbs, Tony realized the man's face was flush and his eyes heavy. The reason finally registering with Tony and he rubbed himself over Gibbs groin.
"Tony." Gibbs snapped grabbing Tony's hips.
"Oh is this bothering you?" Tony sighed, wiggling his ass again.
"No."
"Is it turning you on?" Tony's hands caressed up Gibbs' chest.
"Yeah." Gibbs jerked Tony's hips down hard onto his growing erection. "Does this turn you on?"
"Yes!" Tony ground his ass back and forth over Gibbs.
"God Tony." Gibbs groaned taking control of Tony's movement.
"Maybe we should let Abby and Ducky off the hook?"
"And why would we do that?" Gibbs asked just before his lips captured Tony's.
Tony gave into the kiss for a moment, then drew back. "Because we wouldn't be here now if it wasn't for them."
"So you think we should just let it go?" Gibbs dropped a kiss on Tony's neck.
"Maybe."
"And let them think they got away with it?" Another kiss.
"No." Tony shook his head slowly, at this point willing to agree to anything.
"Right answer."
Tony planted his hands on Gibbs' chest and pushed him back against the couch.
"What?" Gibbs eyes narrowed.
"Why did you stop me before?" Tony asked, a seriousness in his tone.
"Because it's not about me." Gibbs folded Tony into his arms.
"So I never get to um, you know?" Tony grinned.
"Let me rephrase that." Gibbs smirked. "It's not about me right now."
Tony nodded, although he really didn't understand.
"You said something last night." A concern settled into Gibbs' eyes.
"What did I say?" Tony could only imagine where this was going.
"Get em off and get out."
Tony's face scrunched up. "Yeah. I did say that." No sense lying.
"Kinda says something."
Picking at Gibbs' shirt, Tony didn't respond.
"Says to me that sex with men was about you giving and not getting."
Tony shrugged.
"Was that what you wanted?" Placing his finger under Tony's chin, Gibbs forced Tony to look at him.
"It was easier that way." Tony wanted to look away again, but Gibbs held his chin.
"Easier for whom? You, the other guy?"
"Both." Tony pulled his face from Gibbs grip. "I didn't want more. I told you it was just sex, I never thought about a relationship. They got off, sometimes I did. Didn't matter."
"Why even do it?" Gibbs chuckled.
Tony pulled away, trying to extract himself from Gibbs' arms.
"No." Gibbs hold on Tony tightened. "We're finishing this conversation."
"And what if I don't want to?" Tony glared.
"What? Did you do it just because you liked it?" Gibbs asked. "I'm not judging you. If you just liked getting a guy off, fine. I don't care. I just wanna understand."
"Why?"
"Because it doesn't seem like it was very fulfilling for you, but if it was, then great." Gibbs paused. "I get wanting to be with men. I don't get it if you weren't getting off on it."
Tony was silent.
"Okay." Gibbs decided to let it go, for now. "Just know I will make sure you enjoy it and get off, every time."
A nod.
Gibbs loosened his grip on Tony, then his lips brushed against Tony's ear. "I loved just touching you earlier, hearing you moan, knowing you wanted more."
"I want more." Tony sank into Gibbs' body. "I want you."
"Good." Gibbs smiled. "But right now we have some payback to plan."
#################################################################################
"Are you sure about this?" Tony asked folding his arms across his chest and leaning back against the kitchen counter
"Yeah." Gibbs poured another cup of coffee. "It's perfect."
"It's cold!" Tony smirked. "She's gonna freak."
"That's the point." Gibbs leaned against the counter next to Tony.
"Ducky?"
"He'll be upset" Gibbs took a sip of coffee. "But he'll get over it."
"And after this little plan is over?" Tony glanced at Gibbs.
"Guess that's up to you."
"Why is it up to me?" Tony snickered.
"Because." Gibbs put down his coffee and took Tony's hand drawing the younger man to him. "I know what I want."
"And what's that exactly?" There was a slight annoyance in Tony's voice.
"You."
Tony swallowed hard, the fear rushing in again.
"I'm not trying to push." Gibbs shrugged a shoulder. "I know you haven't been in or even wanted a relationship with a man, but I want you. Have for a long time, so for me...it's easy."
"You've wanted me?"
"Yeah." Gibbs took a deep breath. "Again, not pushing, but I'm hoping you wanna see where this goes. We can take it as slow as you want, as long as you want this."
Feeling the hand caress up his chest, Gibbs waited for whatever Tony was about to say, hoping it wouldn't be something he didn't want to hear. Needing time, he could handle that, he could be a patient man when the reward was great. But if Tony didn't want this, wanted to just walk away, that would change everything.
Moistening his suddenly dry lips, Tony took a deep breath. "There were only a few men and although I enjoyed it to a degree, it was just...me fulfilling a need."
Gibbs nodded.
"A need I had, that wasn't being met, because...because I couldn't have want I really, truly wanted."
Gibbs brow furrowed confused as to what Tony was trying to get at. "What did you want?"
"You."
"Me?" A shocked look spread over Gibbs' face.
Tony nodded.
Gibbs shook his head blowing out a long breath. "Okay."
Chewing on his bottom lip, Tony looked at Gibbs. "I didn't want a relationship because none of the men were the man I wanted."
Folding Tony into his arms, Gibbs still looked surprised. "God, I wish I'd known."
"And what would you have done if you had known?" Tony grinned.
"I wouldn't have let you waste your time on anyone else." Gibbs jerked Tony against him, staring into those sparkling green eyes.. "And you would have already been mine."
"And now that you know I've wanted you all this time?" Tony put his arms around Gibbs' neck. "Does that change anything?"
"No." Gibbs shook his head.
"Seriously?" Tony looked disappointed.
"Just means it's all going to be so much better." Gibbs sighed.
"And why's that?"
"Because you want me as much as I want you." Gibbs' hands caressed over Tony's back. "And that makes everything so much more arousing, erotic and hot."
"This turns you on doesn't it?" Tony stared into those baby blues.
"You turn me on."
"No. I mean the whole kinda slow, touching, feeling everything." Tony paused. "That really does turn you on?"
"Yeah." Gibbs eyes glassed over. "It does."
Tony shook his head and chuckled. "Just doesn't seem like you."
"Why's that?"
"Just comments you made." Tony shrugged. "Always took you for the wham bam thank you kinda guy."
"I have three ex-wives for a reason." Gibbs said trying to make a point.
Tony's eyebrow went up. "Ah I see. So wham bam thank you when it comes to woman, but not men."
Gibbs tipped his head slightly.
"Wow you are full of surprises."
"A few." Gibbs smirked.
"Well, I have to warn you." Tony paused. "Not great with the slow part."
"No really?" Gibbs voice was rich with sarcasm.
Tony punched his arm causing Gibbs to chuckled.
"Don't worry. I can go slow."
"Is that a challenge?" Tony wiggled his eyebrows.
"No." Gibbs shook his head.
"Sounds like you think I can't push your buttons and make you come undone."
"I'm sure you can." Gibbs glared at Tony knowing the younger man was already thinking of ways to torture him. "But you're going to behave."
"Now why would I do that?" Tony smirked.
Gibbs took Tony's hand and held it against his chest. "Because I asked you to."
Tony cocked his head slightly, then dropped his head back. "Why do you have to be so damn sexy? Makes me want to do anything you ask."
"Really?" Taking the presentation of Tony's throat as an invitation he kissed the soft skin. "Good to know."
"Um, maybe I need clarification." Tony sighed, his eye closing. "Behave, what exactly does that mean to you?"
The question made Gibbs stop and pull back.
Tony's eyes opened again. "What? That's a perfectly legitimate question."
"Fine" Gibbs paused. "It means I want you, but I'm not going throw you down right now and take you."
"I get that." Tony chewed on his lip. "Taking things slow is that like everything up to third base?"
Gibbs' shrugged. "Maybe starting towards third."
Tony laughed. "Like what happened on the couch?"
"Yeah."
"You're serious?" Tony looked completely stunned.
"There's a lot of ground between second and third." Gibbs grinned.
"Okay maybe the whole baseball reference was way to high school." Tony shook his head. "I mean, really?"
"Tony." Gibbs sighed heavily. "Why are you making this so complicated?"
"Because I mean you're acting like we just met at the bar last night, that we had no past knowledge of each other." Tony chuckled. "We've know each other for over ten years, it's not like we're strangers."
"Yes we are."
Tony cocked his head in confusion.
"You know nothing about how I am when I date someone." Gibbs smiled. "Look how surprised you were at how I just wanted to touch you on the couch."
"I was but still. We're friends. We've watched each other almost die on several occasions."
"Yeah we have. And watching you almost die of the plague was excruciating, but it would have been completely different had we been seeing each other."
"How?" Tony scoffed.
"I never would have left your side." Gibbs shrugged. "And you would have been here recovering."
Again, Tony looked surprised.
"I've wanted you for a long time, but that's different than having you, being with you. Everything changes." There was a moment of silence. "I change."
"Everything, even our friendship has been based around Leroy Jethro Gibbs, the boss, the NCIS agent." Tony realized that now.
"Yeah. Our friendship was different, but still I kept it at a professional distance...for countless reasons. Now." Gibbs pulled Tony back into his arms. "Now it's about us, away from all that. Just two people discovering everything about each other."
Tony nodded still trying to process everything.
"And I have no idea how you are when you date someone."
Eyebrow raised, Tony smirked at Gibbs. "Did you really just say that?"
Gibbs rolled his eyes. "What you say at work to impress everyone is not the real story."
"I don't try and impress anyone." Tony said sounding offended.
"Fine, but it's still different." Gibbs sighed. "And you don't know as much as you think."
"Really?"
"Yeah." Gibbs smirked. "Chocolate or Vanilla?"
Tony's eyes danced around. "Chocolate or Vanilla what?"
"Ice cream." Gibbs shrugged. "Which would I pick?"
"Come on."
"Seriously. You think you know so much. Which one?"
"Chocolate." Tony grinned.
"No." Gibbs shook his head.
"Vanilla?" Tony's brow furrowed. "Who picks Vanilla over Chocolate?"
"Me."
"What about cake? Chocolate or Vanilla?"
"Chocolate." Gibbs smiled. "But Vanilla frosting."
"And these are the things you want me to know?" Tony smirked.
"I'm making a point." Gibbs chuckled. "We do know a lot about each other but there's more to know."
"You mean you plan on opening up?"
"Yeah." A crooked smirk. "To a degree."
"Then it's worth the wait." Tony turned on that famous DiNozzo smile.
"God." Gibbs groaned. "I love that smile."
"Oh you shouldn't have said that." Tony wrapped his arms around Gibbs' neck. "Now I know a button to push."
"You know a lot of buttons already." Pressing his lips to Tony's ear, Gibbs whispered. "But I can't wait for you to find even more."
"Oh I plan to find them all." Catching a glimpse of the microwave clock, Tony's eyes widened.
"What?"
"It's late."
"It's Saturday." Gibbs chuckled. "Remember?"
"Yes I do smart ass. But." Tony sighed. "If you want to take this slow...I should get home."
"You should stay." Gibbs tightened his arms around Tony. "I'll give you the bed."
"Oh such a gentleman." A mischievous sparkle poured from Tony's eyes. "This one of those things you do with people you're dating?"
Gibbs nodded. "And you will be a gentleman and stay up there. You will-"
"I was not going to-"
"Yes you were. I see that look." Gibbs grinned. "You will stay upstairs in that bed, alone and you will not come down stairs until morning."
"It's already morning?" That sparkle again.
"Much later in the morning." Smacking Tony's ass, Gibbs rolled his eyes.
Tony stuck out his tongue. "Are you really like this or is this some perverse joke?"
"Get upstairs! Now." Gibbs barked.
"I'm not tired." The voice sounded like that of a pouting child.
"Then what do you want to do?"
Tony wiggled his eyebrows and grabbed Gibbs' hand pulling him towards the living room.
