Thank you for all of your kind reviews and for being so patient. I'm trying to write faster.

Disclaimer: I own nothing…..sad but true.

Jethro needed coffee. He was hung-over and embarrassed at what an ass he'd made of himself last night. But the hot water washing over him was making him feel better. He looked down at his cock. "Sorry man, usually we get along much better than that."

He couldn't help but laugh at himself. Despite what everyone seemed to think, he did have a sense of humor and he knew he'd behaved like a scared kid last night. Or was it this morning? Probably morning.

As he stepped out of the shower he wondered where Tony was. He hadn't seen or heard a peep out of him yet. He guessed he was giving him space to think before they spoke. But Jethro had done enough thinking. He knew what he wanted.

He could smell food. He followed that smell to the kitchen and found Tony stirring something that smelled like chicken soup.

"That smells great."

Tony covered the pot and confirmed his suspicions. "I wasn't sure how you'd feel today so I made you some soup. I also prepared some steaks thinking, if you were up to it, you could make them cowboy style."

"What day is it?"

Tony smirked, "It's still Sunday. Not surprisingly, it didn't take you all day to process all that bourbon. Sometimes I wonder if you really are human."

Gibbs smiled, "Well I think I proved I was human when I was acting like a drunken fool don't you?"

Tony couldn't help it, he laughed. "Yeah I guess so."

Gibbs walked over to the coffee pot and poured himself a mugful. "It's fresh."

Tony knew that was more a question than a statement. "Yeah, I heard you moving around and knew you'd need some."

Gibbs felt his heart clench at the small gesture that surprisingly meant so much in it's simplicity. He continued to drink and watch Tony fidget.

"Why won't you look at me?" Gibbs wanted to move closer to the younger man but decided against it at this point. Tony looked like he was about to run away.

Tony looked up, his eyes round with surprise. "I thought you'd be uncomfortable with me. You freaked out and the stuff you were saying just made me think that you would want me to stay away from you."

This time Gibbs didn't stop himself, he walked over to Tony and looked him right in his eyes, "I did freak out and I am scared of everything in our lives getting screwed up, but the last thing I want is for you to stay away from me."

Tony thought he was going to faint. Gibbs' eyes were so sincere and intense and blue...

"I want to try to be different. I haven't really let anyone in since Shannon and Kelly died. It's why none of my marriages worked. But with you it's different and I want..."

"What Gibbs, what do you want?" Tony whispered, afraid to speak too loudly in case this wasn't real.

"You."

Tony just stared at him. He didn't know what to say, wasn't really sure he believed that this was happening. Did this amazing man actually just tell him he wanted him? Was he really leaning into him?

The kiss was soft at first. Gibbs was unsure of his reception by the silently brooding man in front of him. He pressed himself in closer and loosely held onto Tony's hips. He pressed his lips against Tony's tentatively. A little firmer the second time, but still with his mouth closed. He turned his head to the side a little and kissed him again, feeling Tony starting to respond.

Tony's mouth opened slightly, giving Gibbs all the encouragement he needed to nibble on his plump lower lip. A small sigh escaped the younger man as Gibbs sucked and nibbled at his lips. He ran his tongue along his lip line slowly, causing Tony to press closer into his arms.

The kiss deepened without either man aware of it. Tongues were now battling for dominance. Tony gave in easily. He knew Gibbs would dominate him sexually just as he dominated him in all other aspects. That didn't mean he would be passive he thought, as he ran his hands down his boss' ass and pulled him in tighter so their erections came together. The growl that came from Jethro's throat almost made him lose control completely.

"Wait, wait..." Tony pulled away reluctantly.
