Felix woke again next to a large hairy beast instead of Gibbs. She groaned and rolled over snuggling up to the animal, "I hate men." She muttered into his fur and Dexter replied with an extended yawn-whine. He rolled over and started licking her face. She laughed, "Not exactly the kiss I expected this morning." She muttered and started to crawl out of bed. "Alright Dexter, time for a run." She smiled and Dexter shot out of bed towards the door.
When she got back to her house, she walked into the kitchen, breathing hard and went to start the coffee. She smiled when she saw that the coffee was already percolating, a mauve rose lying by the machine. She picked it up, and smelled it and sighed. She grabbed a cup out of her cabinet and filled it with water and plopped the rose in it. She hurried to her shower and got ready for work.
When she arrived at work, she doled out the coffee which everyone greedily accepted. She sat down at her desk, sighing, and started sorting threw the files on her desk and the pictures in her mind.
Felix's video chat popped open and Abby's beautiful face filled her screen, "Morning!" Abby chimed.
"Morning sunshine." Felix smiled, "What's up?"
"Nothing really, I was just wondering how long it will take you to have that house warming party." Abby smiled.
Felix sighed, "Ugh, I don't know." She said despondently.
"Come on Felix," Abby smiled, "It could be fun."
Felix grimaced, "It would be you, me, and a bottle of rum, eating chunks of George Foreman'd meat and dancing around in our chonies."
Abby looked confused, "Are you saying that wouldn't be fun?"
Felix laughed, "We could do that tonight if we wanted."
"YAY!" Abby smiled, "I'll make a flyer."
"Wai-," Felix said, "Flyer? Abby why a flyer!?" She said frantically.
"Well for everyone else...Tony, McGee, Ducky, Jimmy?" Abby asked.
"Abby," Felix groaned, "I don't have a barbecue! I have George Foreman grill that fits four hamburgers, MAX, and my back yard isn't that big. And I don't know - social events? We don't really hang out with each other outside of work."
"We hang out all the time!" Abby chuckled.
"Yeah, but thats you and me." Felix smiled.
Abby shrugged, "Well you and Gibbs are close, aren't you?" She said innocently, "Invite him."
"What?" Felix said astonished, her heart in her throat, "Why? Are we gonna ask him to have a threesome with us?" She chuckled indignantly.
"You think Gibbs would go for it?" Abby smiled, wiggled her eyebrows.
"Go for what?" Gibbs said, materializing.
"AH!" Felix yelled.
"ABORT!" Abby yelled and shut off the video chat.
Gibbs grabbed Felix's chair and turned her to face him, "Go for what?" He smiled, looking deep in her eyes.
"Um," Felix said, her heart beating faster, "I'm having a house warming party." She blurted out.
"Party?" DiNozzo popped up.
Felix grit her teeth, "Shit," She whispered and Gibbs chuckled, standing up straight, "Yes. A house warming party."
McGee turned the corner, "When?"
Felix kicked her desk, wishing she could strangle Abby and her abominable timing.
"Tonight!" Abby's video chat popped up.
"I hate you!" She whispered at her monitor.
"Tonight?" McGee smiled and shrugged, "Ok."
"BYOB?" Tony asked.
"And Pot luck!" Abby yelled.
"Awesome, what am I bringing?" McGee asked.
"I'm making flyers!" Abby yelled and Felix dropped her head onto her desk. "They'll be done as soon as I can finish them!" She smiled and disconnected again.
"Shit!" Felix rasped.
Gibbs laughed as his phone rang. He opened it, "Yeah, Gibbs." He said and listened for a few seconds and then shut the phone. He looked around at his team and everyone was staring at him. "What?" He growled.
"Uh, gear up, boss?" DiNozzo said.
They were all silent as Gibbs stared at them, "Well, no shit. Let's go!" He shouted and they all jumped to attention, grabbing their shit as fast as possible. Gibbs was already walking towards the elevator.
Felix smiled and sided up to Gibbs, "Ready boss."
"Good." Gibbs smiled, Tony and McGee were trailing behind a few feet, "You get my present this morning?" He said quietly.
"Yes," She smiled, "And the others."
They got in and fell silent, smiling as the doors closed.
Another crime scene came and went. Another young female marine murdered, she had dark short hair, almost exactly like Felix's. The sight was chilling, but she gladly took the case, not letting anyone see the pain it was causing her to see another woman butchered like Jamison. This murderer was playing with them and she was getting sick of it.
"Felix?" Abby said.
Felix looked up from the crock pot of beef that was simmering, people would be showing up in about an hour and a half. "Huh?" She shook her head, "Sorry, my mind was miles away."
"The murders?" Abby asked coming around and standing next to Felix.
"Yeah, this guy..." Felix sighed, "He's screwing with us."
"You talk to Gibbs about it?"
Felix shook her head, "Its just a feeling I have. I feel like he's watching us, but we can't find him. He's manufacturing these crime scenes just to play with us."
"Hey," Abby said, stroking Felix's hair, "If there is one thing Gibbs understands its hunches."
Felix shrugged, "Maybe for himself, but he definitely expects more from his team."
Abby nodded, "That may be true, but you can trust him." Felix smiled up at her, "So?" Abby said.
Felix looked around, "So what?"
"Looks like the table is all set up with our stuff." She smiled, "What time are people coming?"
Felix checked on her phone, "About an hour an a half." She shrugged.
"So we have time?" Abby's face broke into a large grin.
"Yes." Felix smiled, the light bulb finally brightening, she grabbed her purse, "Plenty of time."
Abby giggled as she grabbed Felix's hand and they ran towards the front room.
Gibbs pulled up early with a bottle of bourbon and a six pack of Felix's favorite beer. He parked in front of her house and saw that Abby's car was the only one there. He grabbed his bag of booze and chips and got out of the car, hearing loud music coming from the house. He'd been in Abby's lab and also in Felix's car - the loud music was not surprising.
He got to the front door and unlocked it with his spare. He pushed it open and kicked it shut, the music thumping in his ears. He was walking through the hallway and turned the corner into the den and he froze.
The music was obviously coming from the den, rather, erupting from the den. He grinned softly as he watched what event required the music.
Felix and Abby were in the den dancing around - in their underwear.
Abby was wearing pink underwear with little monkey skeletons on it and a black tank top bra. Felix was wearing small lacy boy shorts with a matching push up bra, both in a deep purple that contrasted beautifully with her pale skin. Her short black hair was whipping around her smiling face while her body moved fluidly with the music. She was a great dancer and her body was gorgeous.
They were singing with the loud music but you couldn't hear their voices over it. Gibbs stood at the doorway, watching Felix intently.
She spun around, leading with her hips and saw a shadow out of the corner of her eye and stopped.
It was Gibbs.
Felix felt the bile rising in her throat. She turned to Abby and yelled at her, but Abby didn't hear her. She grabbed a pillow off of her couch and chucked it at Abby.
Abby looked up, saw Gibbs, screamed and hid behind a less clothed Felix. Felix grabbed her ipod remote and paused the song.
"Hello Gibbs." Felix waved, with Abby cowering behind her.
"Gibbs!" Abby squealed, "Turn around!"
"Its ok Abbs, Felix is currently distracting me." He smiled, raising an eyebrow. Abby dove for her clothes quickly and tugged on her pants and cover shirt. She walked up to Gibbs and grabbed his bags.
"I'll take your stuff." She said uncomfortably and ran into the kitchen with the bags.
Felix still stood there in her underwear, wringing her hands.
Gibbs smiled and walked up to her. He ran his finger along the waistband of the lace boy shorts.
She shuffled her feet, "Um," She said clearing her throat, "You like?" She smiled, her cheeks blushing bright red.
He smiled, trying to peak around the bra, "Get some clothes on before Abby comes back." Felix lunged for her things and pulled on a pair of skin tight jeans and a off the shoulder t-shirt in a dark grey. "Cute." He smiled, his finger dragging along the cowled neckline, touching her soft skin.
"Thanks." She smiled and plugged in the outside speakers, turning the music much lower. Gibbs put her hand on her lower back and guided her into the kitchen. They walked in and Abby turned sharply and snapped her phone shut.
"Anything important?" Gibbs smiled at Abby.
"Nope!" She smiled widely, "Hi Gibbs!" She said and jumped at him, wrapping her arms around him, "You're early." He just grinned. She pulled back and smiled at Felix, "DiNozzo, Ducky, Palmer, and McGee are on their way."
"Sweet." Felix smiled, "I'm gonna start drinking." She walked to the cooler and pulled out three beers and tossed them to Abby and Gibbs. "Cheers." She smiled and they all sipped companionably.
Everyone arrived there on time and started drinking promptly.
Ducky was happily sipping on his scotch, his cheeks and nose were red and he was smiling, telling his stories as no one really listened. Gibbs, DiNozzo, and McGee were playing cards, sipping their beers - Gibbs also had a bourbon. Felix and Abby sat to the side, drinking and smoking companionably.
"So," Abby smiled, beer in hand, taking minimal puffs from Felix's cigarette, "You and Gibbs?"
Felix's eyes widened and she choked on her beer, "Huh?!" She said, appalled and absolutely terrified, "What!? No!"
"Oh come on!" Abby chuckled.
"Abby I cant -,"
Abby put up her hand, "Ok, let me tell you, I'm not dumb. Plus, you may be better at keeping it under wraps, but Gibbs..." Abby took an extended puff.
"What?" Felix said, entranced by the fact that someone else was involved in her dirty little secret. That meant that it was real and she wasn't just imagining things.
"They way he looks at you." She smiled.
"Like he wants to devour me?" Felix gulped.
"Sometimes," Abby chuckled, "But other times he's smiling."
"The eeeevil smile?" Felix chuckled.
"No." Abby shook her head, "Its his nice smile. I've only seen it once or twice."
Felix rolled her eyes, "We're a team. We're friends." She shrugged.
"He doesn't smile and Timmy or DiNozzo like that." Abby said, sipping her drink.
"We just have a lot of things in common." Felix said weakly.
"Felix..." Abby shook her head, "Felix, this is something else."
"Abby, I really don't want to think about 'something else' my brain can't handle it." Felix said softly.
"Fe-," Abby started.
"FELIX!" DiNozzo yelled obnoxiously from only a few feet away.
Felix laughed and turned, "WHAT!?" She bellowed back.
"COME HERE!" He shouted.
Felix and Abby laughed, walking over to the card table and watching the group. McGee was McDrunk and DiNozzo and Gibbs were catching up, all swagger and class, winking at the pretty girls.
"What?" Felix hissed at DiNozzo, "You interrupted a very important conversation."
"About what?" DiNozzo said, distracted.
"Who can get naked the fastest." Abby smiled.
"Again?" Gibbs said, sipping his bourbon.
DiNozzo and McGee's eyebrows shot up, "Again!?" They said, astonished.
"Yes!" Abby said, frustrated. "Again." She smiled mischeviously and put her arm around Felix's waist.
"Perfect." Tony smiled, "That means its time for a drinking game." Everyone groaned. "What?"
"Where is Mr. Palmer?" Ducky finally chimed in.
Everyone looked around, "Yeah, where is he?" Gibbs asked.
"He's passed out." Tony smiled.
"And almost vomited on my shoes." Felix smiled, "Ok Tony, what game were you thinking?"
"Beer pong?"
"Are you seventeen?" Felix chuckled. "Wait, don't answer that. No, no beer pong."
"Quarters?"
"Hm," Felix said speculatively, "I could do that."
"Quarters?" McGee asked, confused.
"Everyone gets a cup in front of them and there's a middle cup in the center. If you sink the cup in front of the person, they drink it, if you sink the middle cup, you can choose anyone to drink." Felix smiled clearing off the table while Abby ran and grabbed cups.
"I'd like to escalate this tournament." Tony smiled.
"How so?" Gibbs asked.
"Everyone gets a shot glass too." He grinned.
"Aren't you driving home?" Gibbs said to DiNozzo.
"I have a spare room and a pull out couch." Felix smiled, "They're already made up." Gibbs looked up at her, "I expected we'd get shitty." Felix chuckled, everyone cheered, but Gibbs shot her a frown. She just winked, everyone would pass out till morning after this game. They both had the same thing on their minds, drinking slow, prolonging the night, and taking advantage of the fact that they'd be alone later.
"Wait, what exactly happened to Mr. Palmer?" Ducky demanded.
Tony and McGee smiled at each other, McGee started, "Well, we sort of..."
"Assisted." DiNozzo added.
"In the drinking process." McGee smiled.
"Oh dear God." Ducky murmured, "Did you check his vitals?" He looked to Nora.
"Yes, but if they weren't stable, at least he died with a smile on his face." She smiled, winking at DiNozzo and McGee.
The two went to high five and -
WHAP!
"Ow!" DiNozzo and McGee yelped, rubbing the backs of their heads.
"We're not at work boss!" DiNozzo whined.
"Yeah, you cant hit us while we're not at work." McGee griped.
"I'll stop hitting you when you stop being so dumb." Gibbs growled. Tony and McGee mumbled some lame defenses.
Abby came out of the house with the cups and Felix followed her with a tray of booze. McGee jumped up and pulled the cooler over to the table and they started setting up.
"Do we have to drink beer?" Gibbs asked.
"Not if you don't want to wake up tomorrow." Felix smiled.
"So beer and a shot?" McGee said.
"Yup." DiNozzo smiled mischeviously.
"Seriously?" Gibbs groused.
Felix smiled, "Its a rule!"
"And we all know what a stickler you are for the rules." Tony smiled and Gibbs raised his hand to smack DiNozzo who automatically cowered.
"But you may drink what you like, sir." Felix smiled. "Ducky, want to play?"
He shook his head, "No thank you dear. I'll observe this wonderous mating ritual. But could I trouble you for a cup of that marvelous coffee?"
"No trouble at all," Felix smiled, "Anyone else?" Gibbs raised his hand and Felix rolled her eyes, "Naturally." But no one else asked for one. Felix nodded and made her way inside while everyone started taking their seats. Abby grabbed a seat next to McGee and he put an arm around her and her hand rested on his leg.
"Ugh." DiNozzo growled.
"Easy DiNozzo." Gibbs chuckled, "I gotta hit the head." He stood up and followed Felix inside.
She was scooping coffee grounds into her percolator. She loved the smell of it. It reminded her of her best friend and her grandma.
She was momentarily distracted by a warm hand sliding up her back. The coffee was brewing so she ignored it, letting out a soft moan. "Mmm, DiNozzo."
"What?" Gibbs growled and turned her around to see a very big smile on her face.
"I'm kidding." She chuckled and placed a hand on his chest. "Oh, but that was good. Your face was a mask of intense hatred." She said dramatically, "You are a jealous guy."
He just chuckled, "So is this officially a sleep over?" He said, moving close to her.
"Yes, I already stole everyone's keys. Except for Ducky's. Thats still his first scotch." She smiled.
Gibbs patted his pockets, "What the hell? When did you get my keys?"
Felix smiled and pulled them out of her pockets, jingling them in front of his face, "Don't worry about it." She said as she turned back to the coffee.
"I don't like people stealing from me." He growled playfully in her ear.
She smiled and leaned back into him. His lips softly kissed her neck, "Well then old man, you should get on top of your shit." She laughed. He bit down on her shoulder and she yelped, turning in his arms and smacking his chest. "What if someone comes in and sees us?" She said, pushing against his chest weakly.
He shrugged and kissed her neck again, "Oh well." He smiled, "I think they've started to assume it anyways. Tony drools with envy every time he looks at you."
Felix just laughed, "Oh shut up." She said and turned around, bumping him back with her hip. "The coffee's ready." She said and poured him a cup, a cup for Ducky, and one for herself. "Come on. Time to teach an old dog new tricks." She smiled, going back outside with a cup in her hand for Ducky. She took her seat next to Gibbs's empty chair and across from Abby.
"Ok." McGee said, "Now what?"
Tony reached into his pockets and pulled out a few quarters, "Now, we play."
"Wait, where have those quarters been?" McGee said distastefully.
"Easy McBaby." DiNozzo growled, "Alcohol kills bacteria."
McGee looked around, "Does it?"
"Sure!" Everyone said enthusiastically, even Ducky.
"Ok. I'll go first and then we'll go around the table." DiNozzo smiled. He bounced the quarter off the table and directly into McGee's cup. "Drink up probie." He smiled.
"Shit." McGee said and grabbed his beer cup and chugged it.
"Refill." DiNozzo smiled.
Felix grabbed a quarter and bounced it into Abby's cup.
"SHIT!" Abby laughed, "I hate this game already." Felix smiled and passed a quarter to Gibbs.
"Ok boss, so you have to bounce it off of the table and into one of our cups or the middle cups." He smiled patronizingly, "Can you see the cups boss?" He turned to Felix, "Can we get more light out here? Maybe get a magnifying glass?" He chuckled, everyone joining in, even Gibbs.
"No." Gibbs smiled, leaning back as if to help his old eyes, "I think I got it."
"Cause really boss, we can-," DiNozzo started.
PLUNK.
The dead silence made the sound of the quarter sinking into the glass much more tangible.
It sunk right into Tony's shot glass. The sound made Tony's smile fade.
"Did I do it right?" Gibbs smiled wickedly.
"Yea boss." Tony grabbed his shot and fished the quarter out. "Shit," He groused and raised his glass, "To old age - I mean, wisdom." He smiled and tossed it back.
"Refill!" McGee yelled and everyone laughed.
"Nice shot boss." Tony said, making a sour face.
"Well, I was a sniper DiNozzo." Gibbs smiled.
"Yeah," Tony said grabbing the vodka and pouring it into his glass, "I know."
What continued for the next hour or two was chemical ware fare - seeing how much alcohol they could manage to get their opponents to ingest. DiNozzo and McGee had made it a personal affair trying to get each other as drunk as possible. Gibbs was happily sinking shot glasses for the both of them. Abby and Felix were trying to tag team DiNozzo and Gibbs, who were the best players. Gibbs and DiNozzo happily fought back. Gibbs sank four shots for Felix and two for Abby.
"Hey! This isn't fair, he should have to be like a thousand yards away or something!" Abby griped.
"Yea!" Felix assented, "From the bushes!" That started a resounding chant of "Bushes! Bushes!" from the team.
Gibbs just chuckled, "You think I cant make that shot?" It was about ten feet away to Felix's bushes.
"Boss I'll put down ten bucks that says you cant." Tony said laughing. Felix plunked a quarter into his cup, "Bitch!" He rasped.
"What was that?" Gibbs asked.
"Nothing boss." DiNozzo said quickly and drank his beer, "Ten bucks."
"Any other wagers?" Gibbs smiled.
"If you can make that shot," McGee said, "I'll drink my beer, my shot, and your shot."
"Tony will drink your bourbon!" Abby added.
"Hey!" Tony said in a lame defense.
"What about you ladies?" Gibbs smiled.
"Please make them kiss!" Tony said. Abby and Felix punched him in the arm, "Ow." He said weakly.
"I'll do both my drinks." Felix smiled.
"Me too!" Abby said.
"What about the middle glass?" Gibbs pointed.
"We'll divide it." McGee said.
"And have another shot." Gibbs smiled.
"Wait." McGee said, "I'm starting to not like this."
"Nut up McGee." Felix smiled.
"Ducky?" Gibbs asked. "Any wagers?"
"I cannot think of one," He smiled, looking sobered, "But I'll owe you a favor until I do."
"What if I miss?" Gibbs said.
Tony, Abby, McGee, and Felix all looked at each other, smiling widely and sinisterly.
"Probie for a week!" Felix said.
"And I get to be the boss." DiNozzo chuckled, "And you cant punch me if I whack you on the back of the head."
"PROBIE FOR A WEEK!" Abby cheered, clapping with McGee.
Gibbs nodded, "All right." He said standing and grabbing a quarter. He walked back ten paces to the edge of the bushes and took aim.
"In the brush old man!" Tony yelled.
Gibbs took a step back into a little hole in the bushes, "DiNozzo I could still kill you from here."
"If you could see me." He murmured in response.
"You know," Gibbs said patronizingly, "My hearing is still fine." Gibbs lined up for the shot and everyone started screaming things in order to distract him, except of course for Ducky who chuckled, sitting quietly with the ruckus around him. McGee and Abby were making random noises while DiNozzo yelled dirty things with Felix swatting at DiNozzo's shoulder when the dirty things included Felix's body parts.
Gibbs laughed and took the shot.
The quarter seemed to float for an extended amount of time. It traveled through the air slowly, gracefully, arcing towards the table.
PLUNK.
It sunk into the center cup.
"SHIT!" McGee yelled.
"NO!!" Felix and Abby screamed.
And Dinozzo just let out a string of profanities that could strip paint off a wall.
Ducky laughed as everyone cursed Gibbs as they took their drinks. He stood and thanked Felix for her hospitality and said goodbye to others. He congratulated Jethro and asked him to walk him to his car.
"You sure you're okay to drive Duck?" Gibbs asked as they walked through the house.
"Yes Jethro," He said amicably, "I made sure I had enough time to metabolize the alcohol and get some food in me.
"Good." Gibbs smiled, "What about Jimmy?"
"His cars out front." Ducky smiled, "Make sure he's not dead when you get back inside." He laughed and stuck out his hand to Gibbs.
Gibbs took it, "Drive safe Duck."
"Of course." Ducky smiled. As Gibbs turned to walk back into the house, Ducky said, "And Jethro?"
Gibbs turned, "Yea Duck?"
Ducky smiled, "I don't know what that girl has done for you and your team but she's a keeper." He smiled, "Especially for you. I haven't seen you this happy in almost all the years I've worked with you." He put his hand on Gibbs shoulder, "How do they say?...Oh thats right, 'don't screw the pooch on this one' Jethro." He winked and got in his car, rolling down the windows, "Doctor's orders!"
Gibbs laughed as Ducky drove away. He checked on Palmer, who was still breathing, thankfully, and then made his way to the back yard. Everyone was still sitting companionably at the table, drinking their beers. DiNozzo and Felix were smoking, Felix with a cigarette and DiNozzo with a cuban cigar. McGee and Abby were sitting on a chair together, Abby curled up on his lap and him looking happy as anyone could.
Gibbs observed the group for a moment and felt his gut settle. His team was whole again. He was happy...Wasn't he?
He got back to his seat and took one of Tony's cigars and sipped his coffee.
DiNozzo was telling some story about himself in college and Felix was listening and chiming in to make fun of his hyperactive sex drive.
Gibbs checked his watch, realizing it was close to midnight. The night wasn't too chilly but it wasn't warm either. Felix was perched on the arm of DiNozzo's chair, his arm was around her waist. He might have been a little jealous, but DiNozzo and Felix were good friends, he was protective like a brother should be and Felix doted on him. They teased each other relentlessly, but they worked together effortlessly. He noticed Felix give a slight shiver. She was still wearing her t-shirt and jeans and the air was pretty crisp.
Gibbs stood and slipped off his jacket, draping it over Felix's shoulders, even taking the time to lift her hair out from under it. Everyone fell silent with this gesture, even Felix, who looked up at him with an astonished smile on her lips.
"Thanks." She said softly, pulling the jacket tighter around her shoulders and a blush creeping up on her lips.
Gibbs bent down and placed a soft, but lingering kiss, on her lips, "You're welcome." He smiled.
It took a few moments of stunned silence, but DiNozzo picked up where he left off, eliciting more laughter from Felix, McGee and Abby. Gibbs even smiled a little bit with DiNozzo's stories as he looked up at the sky and watched the stars.
About an hour later DiNozzo, Abby and McGee were sufficiently drunk. Gibbs and Felix were only slightly better. Gibbs had grabbed Felix's hand beneath the table about thirty minutes ago., the feeling of his fingers intertwined with hers made her giddy and light headed.
"All right guys, we should probably get some sleep." Felix smiled, looking at Abby who was still on McGee's lap, sound asleep.
She stirred, "Sleep?" She said, very sleepily, forcing her eyes to open, "No! I'm fine!" She yawned.
Felix laughed, "McGee, you guys can have the guest room."
"Ok." McGee said as Abby stood and stretched. He stood up and patted his pockets, "Hey, where are my keys?" He sounded frantic.
DiNozzo patted his as well, "Shit, mine are gone too."
Felix smiled at Gibbs evilly, "I have them."
"You do?" They said at the same time, both very confused.
"Yeah, you gave them to me before quarters, you guys." She smiled.
"Oh." DiNozzo said, pacified.
"Huh," McGee muttered scratching his head, "I don't remember that."
"Thats not surprising McLush." DiNozzo chuckled.
"Ok, ok, well I have clothes in the car that I can wear to bed," He looked to Felix, "Gym clothes."
"Ew." Abby said, wrinkling her nose.
"Don't worry Abby their clean." McGee added, grabbing her shoulder to stop her from swaying.
"I believe the term is 'unused.'" DiNozzo snickered and McGee took a stumbling step towards him which was meant to be menacing.
"Alright!" Felix shouted, taking command, "I have basketball shorts and shirts you can all borrow. McGee, take Abby to bed, I'll be by in a second to bring you guys clothes."
"Yes McGee!" Abby said, jumping up into his arms, "To bed!" She pointed at the house.
McGee was smiling affectionately at her, like she was the only woman for a hundred miles, "G'night." He said and carried her away.
"Alright," DiNozzo said, clapping his hands, "Whose my bunkmate?" He wiggled his eyebrows at Felix.
"Dexter." Gibbs grinned, pointing to the pool of black around Felix's feet.
"Oh." He looked disappointed, "Okay."
"Come on Tony," Felix said, taking his arm, "I'll get you pajamas and help you set up the bed." She set up the bed for Tony, grabbed Tony, Abby, and McGee clothes, water and some IBprofen to stave off the hang over. She got everyone situated and comfortable and said her goodnights.
"You're a doll." Tony yawned and then kissed her cheek, "Thanks for a wonderful night." He said, lying down. He whistled for Dexter who jumped up happily to snuggle and was out in seconds.
Felix chuckled and walked towards the kitchen, prepping herself for the cleaning up of her friends' disgraces when she heard the sink in her kitchen running. She turned the corner and saw Gibbs at the sink washing out the used cups. He turned and smiled. She was tempted to throw him on the floor and have her way with him versus letting him finish the dishes and taking it to her bedroom. The first one sounded extremely appetizing, so much so that her belly tightened and her skin flushed...But then again, she really hated doing the dishes.
"Hey, thanks." She said sweetly leaning against the door jamb.
"I got everything from outside." He said. "You just need to wrap the food and put it away."
"Wow, great ass and you do the dishes?" Felix chuckled and walked over to her table, starting to wrap up the food, "Tell me you'll put the seat down and I may just be smitten."
He finished up the dishes and helped her pack up the food. The kitchen was clean in record time, so Felix prepped her coffee pot for the next day. She turned and smiled at Gibbs just as he reached for her, but she dodged it effortlessly.
"Wait!" She giggled, "You need to see this." She grabbed his hand and pulled him into the front room where Jimmy lay comatose on her love seat, curled up into the fetal position. DiNozzo was sprawled out on her sofa bed, his arm and leg over Dexter's big hair body.
Gibbs chuckled, "That's perfect."
Felix smiled, "I know." She said and reached into Gibbs's pant pocket and pulled out his phone, snapping a photo. She stuffed it back into his pocket and smiled. She walked back to her bedroom with Gibbs on her heels.
Once she closed and locked the door Gibbs grabbed her and pulled her to him, peeling off the jacket she was wearing and tossing it to the side. He immediately started kissing her neck and shoulders. Felix chuckled at his urgency, but it wasn't tolerated for long. Once he put his mouth on hers, she molded to him and started undressing him just as quickly as he was trying to undress her.
"Bed," He mumbled around her lips. She obliged and pushed him down onto his back. She started unbuttoning his pants and pulled them down to his knees. He laughed lightly as she tugged off her pants and underwear and climbed on top of him.
"Wait, I had big plans for those underwear." He smiled.
Felix lowered herself onto him and sighed, "Too urgent." She smiled and started rocking slowly on top of him.
Gibbs enjoyed the view immensely. She was moving slowly in a maddening rhythm and he felt every inch of her around him. He sat up wrapping his arms around her and pulling her closer, guiding her hips on his. "Shit Felix." He murmured into her skin. She smiled, biting her lower lip and running her hands along his shoulders, her fingers moving up his neck to run through his hair.
"Fucking hell." She whispered as he pulled down the shoulder of her shirt and the strap of her bra to free one breast which he avidly attended to, "Oh Jethro," She sighed, kissing his forehead. "This is too much." She chuckled as he raised his lips to meet hers. They moved together, slowly, but their breathing quickened. Felix was trying her hardest to not make a single sound.
"Enough." Gibbs said, pulling off his shirt and then Felix's. He lifted Felix up and laid her on the bed still kissing her and without pulling out. "Sorry honey," he smiled, slipping out of her to fully kick off his pants, while she hastily undid her bra and removed her shirt.
Without warning, Gibbs grabbed her ankle and pulled her to the edge of the bed. Felix yelped out of surprise, but no longer minded the sudden movement, once she realized she was at a perfect height for Gibbs to just slide on in.
"Wow." She said, smiling as he moved inside of her.
He gripped her thighs, which were spread wide, and looked down at her body, putting more power into his thrusts, "You got that right." He smiled, reaching down to elicit a sound from her.
She moaned softly, her breathing speeding up as she tightened around him. He kept his speed constant watching as her body rolled and arced beneath his fingers. She was biting her lower lip pretty hard to keep from making sounds, but he could tell by the way her body moved, what she liked. Her body tightened around him again and she made a very quiet, strained and erotic sound that pleased Gibbs to no end. He felt her orgasm more than he heard it.
He pulled out momentarily to slide her back onto the bed, her body limply attempting to help, her chest heaving. He climbed on top of her and pushed inside.
"Holy fuck." She whispered. Gibbs laughed and began kissing her again, his elbows planted above her shoulders, holding her in place and he moved inside of her. Felix's hands were gripping his upper back and her legs wrapped tightly around him.
"Felix..." He growled into her mouth.
"Omigod, Jethro." She said softly, biting down on her lip as another orgasm crashed over her and his followed soon after. They laid together for a few moments, bodies entwined and breathing heavily.
"Shit..." Felix chuckled weakly, "Fuck that was good."
He just smiled and kissed her sweetly, "Took the words right out of my mouth." He said, pulling out slowly and rolling onto his back. Felix curled up next to him and he wrapped an arm around her shoulders playing idly with her short black hair. She put her hand on his chest and drummed against it lightly with her fingertips.
"Jethro?" Felix said softly, kissing his chest.
"Yeah?" He said sleepily.
Felix smiled and let out a sigh, "Good night."
"Good night sweetheart." He yawned and kissed her forehead. Felix smiled, closing her eyes and fell asleep instantly.
When Felix woke up in the morning, she rolled over, expecting to have her face licked to bits by a hulking beast. Instead she felt soft lips pressing against her nose.
"What the-," Felix said groggily. She opened her eyes and was face to face with Gibbs. He chuckled.
"Surprised to see me?" He smiled, his voice sleepy.
"Actually yes, I was starting to think that you coming over here was a wonderfully erotic dream." She looked around her room, "I swore I brought DiNozzo in here last night."
He poked her in the side and she yelped, "You would probably kill DiNozzo."
She smiled and rolled closer to him and kissed his lips, "You're probably right." He began kissing her neck and shoulders. "Its time for breakfast. I believe there will be a throng of hung over people out there."
"Palmer's already gone." Gibbs said, his teeth nipping at her neck, moving down her chest.
"How do you know?" She said softly, as his fingers played on her skin.
"Heard him puking in your bathroom," Gibbs said, holding her closer, letting his thumb graze over her breast with his lips following. "Then heard him grumble out the door, cursing Tony and McGee."
Felix smiled, feeling his tongue do wonderful things on her body, "Oh. Anyone else?" She smiled as his fingers moved south. She put her hands on his shoulders and pushed softly, he looked up at her, smiling, "Control yourself or I'm going to break your fingers." She said sternly.
"You'll be too distracted." He said, rolling her onto her back and kissing her stomach while keeping his eyes on hers.
"What if they're awake?" She chuckled as he kissed lower.
"I have the best investigatory team in the United States," He kissed her inner thigh, "They aren't stupid." More kisses, lower. "Right Tony!?" Gibbs shouted over his shoulder. They heard the shuffling of feet, someone thumping against the wall, a few muffled curses and a door closing.
"Shit." Felix sighed, "Okay, mood officially killed." She laughed, rolling out from underneath Gibbs and sliding off the bed.
"I'm going to kill them." Gibbs growled, face down on the bed.
Felix laughed and slipped on a snug fitting t-shirt dress that came about five inches above her knee with nothing on underneath. Gibbs watched her, bitterly, and noticed that she didn't slip on anything else underneath, which did not help his situation. She turned around, smiling, with sweatpants and a t shirt in hand. She threw them at him and they landed on his ass. He groaned. "Get up!" She said, chuckling and walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.
Gibbs laid there for a few more minutes staring at the wall and thinking about whether or not he cared about what the team thought of him and Felix being together. Ducky was right, Felix had changed his team. She'd changed him. He rolled out of bed, smelling coffee from the kitchen, and pulled on the clothes Felix threw at him.
He opened the door at the exact same time McGee did. McGee was pulling his shirt down and Gibbs was doing the same as they pulled the doors shut. McGee looked slightly horrified, Gibbs just grinned.
"I hope I only feel half as bad as you look." Gibbs growled.
"Hey boss." McGee said, his cheeks blushing bright red. Gibbs opened his mouth to say something when Abby walked out of the room in a black tank top and a pair of boxer shorts, she slung an arm around his neck and kissed McGee on the cheek.
"Good morning my McStud." She smiled, "Oh! Hi Gibbs!" Abby smiled. She looked at McGee, back at Gibbs who were both staring at each other, completely silent. "Awkward," She whispered and then she ran into the kitchen.
Gibbs shot McGee a stern look, but McGee just smiled nervously and ran after Abby. He sighed. He couldn't berate Abby and McGee, its not like he wasn't doing the exact same thing.
His focus was shifted back to the coffee. He followed the scent to find Abby, McGee and DiNozzo sitting at the table. Abby leaned against McGee and sipped her coffee. McGee was smiling foolishly drumming his fingers on the table. Tony was shirtless and looked worse than McGee. His hair looked like he had sex with an electrical outlet.
"DiNozzo?" Gibbs said in disbelief gesturing to his bare chest.
"Dog drool, boss." DiNozzo muttered, sipping his coffee, "Things got a little heated last night."
Felix turned from the stove brandishing a spatula, "Keep your mangy dagowop hands off of my pooch!" She glared.
Tony smiled wide, "His tongue is just...so...long." He said, jokingly reminiscent.
"AH!"
"EEWWW!"
"UGH!"
THWAP.
"Awe boss!" Tony said painfully grabbing his head, "Please, not this morning." He gripped his ears as if something may fall out. Everyone chuckled.
"Ok, eggs bacon and I'm starting homemade waffles." She smiled bringing platters of food to the table and setting them down in front of her guests, "Come and get it." She doled out plates and everyone shoveled food onto their plates.
"Felix, you are a goddess." DiNozzo said, tearing into a piece of bacon.
"Yes, thank you." Felix smiled, bowing to DiNozzo.
"I'll even forgive you for the racial slur." He smiled.
"You're just jealous because you don't actually know what nationality I am, so you cant call me anything derogatory." She smiled sweetly. She fixed up two waffles for each person and placed them on the table. She grabbed her coffee pot and started pouring out some more coffee for everyone as they ate. Everyone thanked her and Gibbs straightened up from his plate and kissed her on the neck. Everyone froze and became silent. Even Felix froze, her eyes wide open, staring at Abby in shock. She was pretty sure she saw a chunk of food fall out of DiNozzo's surprised gaping mouth.
"Thanks." Gibbs said softly.
Felix gulped loudly, "Welcome." And everyone went back to consuming their food. Felix grabbed a cup of coffee for herself and sat down in the only open seat next to Gibbs. She smiled lightly and began horking down her food happily.
"God this is the ultimate cure." McGee smiled, sipping the coffee slowly. "This stuff is great. Where do you get it?"
"It's a Vietnamese brew." Felix said, "I learned how to make it in high school. My best friend's grandma gave me her percolator."
"That's pretty cool." Abby said, "I love this stuff. What do you mix in it?"
"Condensed milk. Thats what makes it so sweet." Felix smiled, "Except for Gibbs's. That's straight jet fuel." She chuckled.
"Exactly how I like it." He smiled.
They finished up their breakfast chatting companionably. Felix gave everybody towels and directed them towards her one bathroom. Everyone took turns showering, Felix went last. She was in her towel, finishing her morning routine, while Abby, DiNozzo, and McGee played video games. Gibbs sat by watching them in horrified amusement as strange screeching creatures jumped out from the blackness and their characters either lit them on fire or shot them with a fusillade of bullets. His cell started to buzz so he got up and took the call outside.
The door to the bathroom opened while Felix was still in her towel. She had just finished blow drying her hair and she turned to see Gibbs standing there smiling.
"Hi." She said simply.
He looked her up and down, "We've got a crime scene. Gear up." He said more seriously.
"Sure." She said and moved to shut her door. Gibbs stood in the doorway, smiling. "Excuse me?"
"I'm fine right here." He said smugly.
Felix rolled her eyes and shoved him out of the bathroom, slamming the door in his face to get ready.
