Chapter 10

Sorry it took so long to update. I hope you like it.

Marty and Kensi had managed to stay on the surfboard paddling a little to keep stead while she settled back against him. His hands feathered up and down her abdomen causing Kensi to catch her breath each time they approached the waistband of her panties or circled under her breasts.

He never made contact seeming to be content to slowly stroke her skin and nibble at her neck.

"Marty please stop you're driving me crazy" As she spoke Kensi attempted to turn around to face him slowly bringing one leg out of the water to rest on the surfboard. "It's not fair to me, there's no way for me to touch you. Let's switch places."

With her leg on the board she attempted to turn around to face him causing the board to shift and dump them in the ocean. As Marty surfaced he looked around for her starting to panic when he didn't see her right away.

"What the hell" a quick tug on his boxers alerted him to where she was and what she was doing. So that's the game she wants to play, well ok I can go with that.

Diving quickly he used his hands to find the mermaid that was swimming around him. Reaching out he captured one leg and ran his hand up until he came in contact with a firm curvy butt. Taking the opportunity for a quick squeeze that distracted her from his target. As Kensi shifted her hands down to slap him away his other hand continued up and tugged at the hooks on the back of the red bra.

They both broke the surface and drew in deep breaths Kensi with the Spongebob boxers clutched tightly in her hand, while Marty grinned at the sight of her bra floating above her chest only being kept in place by the straps on her shoulders.

"So Fern what we have here is a standoff; I have no pants which is fine by me, I don't mind walking out bottomless, but you my dear are going to lose that top unless you let go of those boxers. There again that's a win for me." He shot her an evil lecherous look before ruining it by bursting into laughter.

Giving him a murderous look Kensi threw the boxers at him, ripped the bra off and threw that at him as well and took off for the shore.

"Come on Kensi you know I was teasing don't be this way, don't leave Kensi please." Treading water as he pulled the boxers off his face and made a grad for the board he jumped on and took off after her. As he paddled to the shore he spotted the red bra and grabbed it also.

Reaching the shore a few minutes after Kensi he brought the board in and followed her on the shore. Kensi stood with her back to him "You're such an ass Deeks. Now go get me a towel and don't drag it in the sand on the way back."

Marty stored the surfboard dropped the wet boxers and bra on the ground and headed off. After a few steps he stopped "Look Kensi you started that little game and now you're all mad because it didn't go your way. I'm confused one minute you're all open and flirty and the next minute you're mad as hell. Well I'm telling you now make up your mind, until then get over yourself."

"Shut up Deeks and bring me that towel" She looked over and watched him walk away. Even though she was angry the sight of his firm butt glowing in the moonlight gave her a little thrill. Besides he was right, she had been running hot and cold lately not exactly sure what she wanted.

Part of her longed to take the next step in their relationship but the other part was afraid it would ruin the friendship and partnership they had now.

As Deeks approached the area they had left the towels in he slowed his furious pace and started looking for Callen and Nell. No matter how mad or inpatient Kensi was he was not going to interrupt the senior agent in a compromising position. That would lead to certain death, his death, his slow painful death at the hands of one of the most dangerous men in the world. She could just stand there in her cute little red panties and wait; it was her fault anyway if she hadn't moved on the surfboard it wouldn't have dumped them in the ocean. Of course she had been turning around to get to him, in a good way. OK he would just call out and let Callen know he was there. Just then he heard the shout from Callen about having 20 minutes to get it together and breathed a sigh of relief, now he could get a towel for Kensi and not risk death by Callen.

Grabbing a towel he fastened in around his waist and picked up another for Kensi before heading back to his little hellcat. The walk had helped cool him off and he was ready to face her again.

"Hey Fern baby I got the nice big fluffy towel for you. No sand anywhere on it, I made sure to keep it high and draw just for my girl,"

"Your girl Deeks, what do you mean by that, I'm not a girl and I'm certainly not your girl?" She turned to face him holding his boxers to her chest with one hand while reaching for the towel with the other.

"Thanks for getting me the towel Marty that was really sweet." Wrapping up in the towel she dropped the boxers and moved towards him. "Look I'm sorry I got so mad what happened was my fault and I shouldn't have taken it out on you."

She moved away to where her clothes were and started to pull them on not noticing that he stood there with a frozen look on his face. Dropping the towel she finished pulling up her jeans and tugged her shirt over her bare chest before turning to look at Deeks.

"Why aren't you talking Marty you always talk."

Marty shook his head and walked over to his jeans dropping the towel to pick them up. After pulling on the jeans and looking around for his shirt he spotted it in her hand. Looking in her eyes he made his way over to where she was taking the shirt and putting his arms thru the sleeves. He reached up to button the shirt when her hands brushed his aside and started to button it herself.

"Please Marty you have to talk to me; I know I've been hot and cold lately. I just don't know what to do, sometimes I see you and its all I can do not to grab you and never let go. But right after that I think what would happen to our partnership if I did, Marty I can't lose you as a partner. Come on say something." She was pleading now, not something Kensi Blye did very often.

"Yes I knew it! You are so into me, wait til I tell Callen and Sam." Deeks did a fist pump and picked her up and swung her around. Seeing the thunderclouds start to gather on her face he hastily put her back on the ground. "Come on Kensi you know I'm joking."

"Look I understand exactly what you're saying, the same things run thru my mind too. You are the best partner I've ever had and I don't want to lose that. But I think we can be more and not lose that maybe even be better partners." He stopped for a moment to stroke her cheek "We're never going to know if we don't try. So please take some time and think it over than let me know."

"Just know that you have to make the decision, because I can't keep doing the back and forth thing. Let me know when you make up your mind, I'll be waiting to find out."

"Now if you're dressed we need to get back over there, Callen was giving us 20 minutes and then he was coming to look for us. I don't know about you but I don't want that to happen. Ok?"

"Ok Marty I'll give it some thought and let you know. Just one thing before we go" Kensi stepped up pulled his head down and kissed him with all the pent up feelings she had. His arms went around her back and pulled her closer kissing her back after the initial shock.

"There that should give you something to dream about tonight" with that she started to move towards the car. "Man you are really scared of Callen aren't you?"

Only one more chapter to go, got to send them home.
