Chapter 10

Abby lay against Gibbs chest, her mind registering what he had just said. Oops, she hadn't meant to say those words out loud. Abigail Scuito, you are so busted!

Trying to distract Gibbs, she let a hand wander down to the front of his jeans and she gently squeezed. "What plan?"

He was finding it hard to concentrate with Abby applying exquisite pressure to his groin. With his body crying yes and his mind screaming no, Gibbs reluctantly moved Abby's hand from where it was causing so much pleasure and gently rolled them over so that Abby was now pinned between him and the bed. He lowered his head so that his and Abby's lips were inches apart and whispered, "The plan that you devised to seduce me".

Abby eyes widen in surprise. "I didn't plan to seduce you". She tried to wiggle free, teasingly bucking up against him but his body weight was holding her firmly in place.

Gibbs knew that if he wanted to continue this conversation, he had to get some distance between himself and Abby. He rolled on to his side taking her with him so now they were lying on their sides facing each other. With one finger he traced the outline of her bottom lip. "I can always tell when you lying Abs, I can feel it in my gut".

Abby run a hand though his hair and gently bought her mouth down on his. "But it is the truth, seducing you was just an added bonus. All I wanted you to do was for you to kiss me. I missed the kisses Gibbs, you stopped kissing me."

"So you hatched a plan so that you could get me to kiss you"

"Yes, but the plan sort of back fired"

Gibbs raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

Abby lifted her bandaged finger to his lips, "It was only meant to be a little cut but the saw slipped. I only did it so that you could kiss it better". Gibbs pressed a delicate kiss against Abby's finger. "Gibbs, why did the kisses stop?"

"It doesn't matter now, does it, you've got your kisses back"

"I need to know"

"They had to stop, Abs because I couldn't trust myself with you any longer. The urge to break Rule 12 was becoming too great. I was worried if I let my feelings for you show, you would reject me and" He stopped, noticing Abby was crying.

Abby couldn't believe what she was hearing. How could she not have known that he loved her? Gibbs was so good at hiding his feelings. She had cried herself to sleep so many times over the last three years over this man because she thought he didn't love her. "We've been so stupid and wasted so much time, both of us loving each other and not having the courage to act on our feelings."

Gibbs wiped a tear from Abby's cheek. "Abs, we've got each other now and I'm not letting you go"

Gibbs' words were silenced as Abby's mouth pressed down on his. He deepened the kiss, drinking in everything that was Abby and she responded by wrapping her legs around his waist and pushing herself against him. Gibbs broke away from the kiss and began nibbling his way down her neck when suddenly his stomach growled very loudly. Abby started to giggle. Gibbs tried to suppress her laughter with a kiss but his stomach growled again, making Abby's giggles even worse. He pulled away from their embrace and looked down at her. "I know it would be a lovely idea to make love to you all day Abs but I think we need to eat."

With all the will power he possessed, Gibbs stood up from the bed and walked towards the bathroom. "I'm going to take a shower."

"Can I join you? I could help you with that" smiled Abby, eyeing Gibbs' obvious arousal.

"Abby, you're insatiable but the answer is no. I'm going to take a VERY cold shower and then I'm going to take you out on our first date".
