Later that Thursday afternoon, Jenny sat at her desk, checking up something for the case they were working on. She glanced over to the desk next to hers, where her husband sat leaned back in his chair, staring at his computer screen and probably trying to figure this damned thing out.

Jenny reached out for her coffee. It was cold. She sighed and threw it into the garbage. Gibbs looked up at the sound, and he saw Jenny was looking annoyed. He rose from his seat, grabbed his own cup of coffee and placed it on her table in front of her. She looked up at him with raised eyebrows.

"You look like you could use it" he just said before turning away from her, toward Brody.

"Boss, I got something – " Brody acknowledged after hanging up the phone and rose slightly from his desk, putting something up on the plasma to show both Jenny and Gibbs.

Jenny listened carefully as she sipped Gibbs' hot coffee.

"I'm telling you, boss. The wife killed him because he was cheating on her! This is the proof!" Brody exclaimed and Gibbs smiled.

"Good job. Let's bring her in" he said and hurried back to his desk to receive his gun. Jenny and Brody also began to get ready.

"No, Brody, you stay here. Jen and I'll get her" Gibbs barked and took off toward the elevator.

"B-but…" Brody stuttered. Jenny just shrugged and hurried to keep up with Gibbs.

Once they returned, Jenny and Gibbs spent some time together interrogating the suspect, who found herself overpowered, and finally confessed to the murder of her husband, claiming he only got what he deserved for having cheated on her.

The rest of the afternoon they spent doing paperwork at their desks. Gibbs sent Brody out to get them coffee, and once they were finally alone; Gibbs walked up behind her, gently placing his hands on her shoulders and began rubbing them. Jenny leaned back in her chair, closing her eyes and enjoying her husband's sweet touch. Gibbs' fingers moved up her neck, pressing gently against her tense muscles. Jenny moaned as he hit the right spot.

"You ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine" Jenny replied and smiled with her eyes still closed as she felt her muscles relax under his hands.

"Sure?"

"Jethro," she began, tilting her head backward to look up at him "I can assure you that I'm fine, really"

"If you say so" he said and slowly leaned down to kiss her quickly.

"Oh, come on guys! Don't you get enough of that at home?" Brody had chosen the exact moment when Jenny's and Gibbs' lips met to rush into the bull pen. Gibbs straightened up and faced Brody who was standing in front of Jenny's desk, grinning as he tried to hold on to three cups of coffee. Gibbs snatched two of them from his grip and handed one over to Jenny.

"Thanks Brody" she said as he returned to his desk. She sipped the hot dark liquid as she could still feel Gibbs' hand on her shoulder. Jenny leaned her head backwards, until she was staring up at him. She held up a file in front of her head, shielding them from Brody, and Gibbs happily bent down to kiss her again.

"Hey! What's going on behind that file?" Brody's voice reached their ears. Gibbs looked up.

"You really wanna know?" he asked with a grin

"No, never mind"

Jenny put down the file again and watched as her husband retreated back to his desk. She stretched her arms and yawned. She was bored, the kisses had made her long for more, but as she checked her watch, she realized it was barely four, and she still had some reports to finish. She figured she'd better get it done, so they could get out a little earlier today. Placing her coffee cup in comfortable reach, she returned her fingers to the keyboard and began typing.

About two hours later, Jenny glanced over at Gibbs, who just happened to have looked up toward her the exact same moment. They smiled and silently agreed it was time to go home. They both packed up, Brody had left early because he wanted to watch his son's football game. Gibbs stood at Jenny's desk, patiently waiting for her to get ready.

"Come on Jen" he mumbled, eager to get home with her.

"Relax, honey" she replied with a slight smile "Are we picking up take-out?"

"Sure, if you want"

"I do. Let's go" she said and walked behind him toward the elevators.


Jenny managed to unlock the front door as she balanced a bag with take-out food on her arm. She hurried inside and put everything down on the kitchen counter and pulled off her jacket.

"Jethro?" she called out when her husband didn't come into the kitchen behind her.

"Coming!" his voice came floating through the kitchen door way, and seconds later he appeared himself. Jenny glanced at him as she unpacked their food, and noticed he was carrying a bottle of wine.

"Wine?" she raised her eyebrows and smiled as she put the food containers onto the dinner table.

"Yeah, what's wrong with that?" he asked and walked to a cabinet to take out two glasses. Jenny was leaning against the kitchen island, watching him pout wine into the glasses. He turned toward her and handed her one.

"Thank you"

"Here's to you, and I hope that whatever you'll do in Europe, it will be successful" he said and raised his glass. Jenny looked touched.

"Thank you" she repeated quietly, clinked her glass against his, and drank from the dark red liquid. She looked up as he stepped closer to her, realizing he was only inches away. He slipped his free hand around her waist, pulling her against him. As he kept staring into her eyes, he slowly lowered his face, until their lips met. Jenny wrapped her arms around his neck, careful not to spill her wine over his back. He tasted of wine, and there was still a hint of the usual coffee taste in his mouth. She surrendered to his will, and stayed in his arms. She reluctantly withdrew from the kiss and instead placed her chin on his shoulder. She sighed as she heard him put down his wineglass on the counter behind her and then wrap both his arms tightly around her.

Gibbs sniffled her neck, it smelled of her perfume and he deeply inhaled the sweet scent. He slowly began to leave light kisses on her skin. It tickled her, but it felt so wonderful, having his lips on her body.

"Jethro – " she whispered weakly, trying to stay focused. "The food's getting cold – "

Gibbs reluctantly pulled away from her, letting his hand slide around her waist until he removed them.

"Fine, food first" he said with a mischievous smile. He picked up his glass again and joined her at the table.


Later that night, Jenny and Gibbs sat curled up on the couch together. It had been Jenny's idea; they had a cup of coffee each and were watching a movie. Gibbs was sitting up, and she leaned against him, his arm wrapped around her. Gibbs offered her the popcorn bowl, and she grabbed a handful of popcorn. As the film reached its middle, Jenny's eyelids began to drop, and she slowly drifted off to sleep. Her body relaxed, and toward the end she was lying with her head in Gibbs' lap, fast asleep.

Gibbs smiled to himself as he lightly caressed her hair; she'd almost never managed to stay awake through a whole film. Tonight was obviously no exception.

"Jen?" he tried to wake her as soon as the end credits began to roll. "Jen"

She rolled onto her back and opened her eyes.

"Hi, slept well?" Gibbs asked with a grin and she groaned.

"Yes, I have, until you woke me up" she pouted and hit him playfully in the stomach.

"Couldn't have you in my lap all night" he teased and helped her sit up. Still not fully awake, she leaned against his shoulder again, letting her arm sneak around his waist.

Gibbs sighed and wrapped his arm around her, reaching out for the remote to turn off the TV. When he glanced back at her, he found her to have fallen back to sleep. He smiled to himself and sat looking down at her for a couple of minutes. He reached out his hand to brush away hair from her face, and took the opportunity to also gently caress her cheek. Her skin felt soft and warm under his fingertips. He moved softly, not wanting to wake her, and curled up in the corner of the couch, gently pulling her with him, leaning her on top of him. There was no use to wake her up again, and he figured they might as well sleep here on the couch. Wrapping both his arms tightly around her, he quickly kissed her forehead before resting his head backwards against the pillows on the couch. Jenny's head lay on his shoulder, snuggled up against his throat.


Next morning, Jenny woke first. She had trouble realizing where she was at first, but as her head began to clear up, she realized she lay on the couch in the living room, and Gibbs lay next to her. She smiled to herself as she figured they must have fallen asleep here last night. All she could remember was the beginning of a really lousy movie.

Gibbs was half-lying in the couch, and she was almost on top of him. He gave up a low snore and Jenny decided it was time for him to wake up.

She slid her body upwards, until her face was level with his. She stared down into his calm face for a few seconds before leaning down and gently placing her mouth onto his. He didn't react. Jenny kissed him again, this time harder and she even licked at his upper lip. This caught his attention. She felt his head move and his lips instinctively began kissing her back.

Gibbs eyelids fluttered open, and slowly realized what was going on. At that moment, Jenny decided to pull away. She looked down at her husband and smiled.

"Well, good morning" she said sweetly and he smiled too.

"Yeah, so far it's been very good" he replied and she giggled. Jenny pecked him on the lips once before she sat up, pulling Gibbs with her. Sitting up opposite each other, Gibbs reached out and placed his hand behind her neck and pulled her into another kiss. Jenny responded lovingly.

"Jethro – " Jenny said as she pulled away "Work"

Gibbs sighed and let go of her, she stood up.

"I have to be with the Director at eight" she explained and glanced at her watch, it was ten to seven and she needed to shower and change her clothes.

"I understand" he said and leaned back toward the couch as she disappeared into the bathroom. Few minutes later he heard the muffled sound of water running. He thought that hopefully they would both have the weekend off and be able to spend some time together. He reluctantly got off the couch and made his way into their bedroom to change his clothes.

Just as he was buckling his belt, Jenny came in, dressed in a silky robe and with a towel wrapped around her hair.

"Oh, there you are" she exclaimed when she saw him. Then without further words, she disappeared into her closet.

"Yeah, this is my house too!" he called after her and heard her laugh.

"I do know that. Just thought you were in the kitchen making coffee or something" her voice floated out through the closet door.

"Disappointed?"

"Hardly" she said as she came back out into the small bedroom, carrying a pair of black pants and a white shirt. She placed the clothes on the bed and moved to her drawer to take out some underwear.

"I was actually just on my way to the kitchen. You want something?" Gibbs asked and turned around in the door way.

"Just coffee, thanks" she replied and slipped out of her robe. Gibbs forced himself to leave quickly.

Fifteen minutes later, Jenny joined him in the kitchen. He gave her an appreciative look and smiled. He held out a coffee cup for her and she walked up to take it.

"So, what do you think?" she asked nervously and gestured toward her clothing. The white shirt was causally tucked into the pants, on the counter she had laid a jacket she was probably going to wear over it, she had high-heeled shoes and hair tied up in a ponytail.

Gibbs studied her carefully, thinking something was a bit out of order. Realizing what was wrong, he went up to her and in a swift move let out her hair; it cascaded over her shoulders and down her back. He pulled his fingers through it to straighten it out. Then he looked pleased.

"You look beautiful"

"Thanks" she replied and kissed him quickly before turning around to get her jacket. "We have to get going, I can't be late" she added and Gibbs followed her out of the kitchen.

As they escaped the elevator at NCIS, both Jenny and Gibbs hurried to their desks, Jenny to receive a few things she would need for her meeting, and Gibbs to answer the phone.

"Yeah, Gibbs?" he said and glanced up at Jenny as he listened. She waved at him and he returned the gesture before focusing on the caller. "Yeah, where are we?" He hung up and told Brody where they were heading and to call Ducky. As he himself began to gear up, he glanced up the stairs after Jenny, and found she was talking to a male agent he had never seen before, and together they made their way toward Director Morrow's office. Jenny laughed at something the man had said, and Gibbs felt a sting of worry hit him in the chest. He just hoped that was not the man Jenny would be working with in Europe; he was way too handsome and appeared to have a good sense of humour.

"Boss, you coming?" Brody's voice pulled Gibbs from his concerns, and he gave him a bitter nod and walked off toward the elevator.

Well, what do you think? Send me a review and let me know! Please?

Anyways, thanks for reading.
