Sleepover in the Hammock
Chapter 11 – The Beginning
The kiss was slow but passionate and it held the promise of completely new beginning for both of them. Tony nipped on her bottom lip and grazed her lips with his tongue seeking for entrance. After few seconds she let him in and their tongues began to battle for supremacy. But unlike their kiss which they experienced about half an hour ago, they were able to keep it on reasonable level. She had her hands wrapped around his neck and his hands wandered across her back. They parted because of needed oxygen.
"Wow." Tony said hoarsely absolutely dizzy by the intensity of the kiss and the meaning behind it.
"Yeah, wow." She confirmed in whisper, glad that she wasn't the only one who was feeling overwhelmed by all of this.
She licked her lips and tasted him – she realized that she will never get tired of kissing him. So she leaned over and attacked his mouth with new ferocity he awakened in her. Tony yelped in surprise but let her set the pace of the kiss.
She began clung onto him like if she was afraid that he could disappear in every minute. Without breaking the kiss she unfolded her legs and pushed him down to lay on the couch. He obeyed and wasn't surprised at all when she straddled his waist while he propped up his head against the armrest. His hand immediately ended up on her thighs as he began massaged them in those skin tight jeans. She put her hands on the either side of his head to give herself better support for kissing him.
Tony giggled a little because her hair was tickling him. He ended the kiss and breathed out.
"God! Do you know how much I dreamt about this?" He looked at her and tucked her hair behind her ears.
She smiled sweetly at him. "You have to tell me about what, because your fantasy is big mystery to me."
Tony chuckled and slipped his hands on her backside and squeezed. "You. You straddling me in those jeans."
She giggled with amusement. "Well, I took them on because of you. I knew what effect they will have on you."
He looked at her innocently. "And how did you know that?"
She raised an eyebrow on him. "Tony, the last time I wore them, you did almost everything to make me parade in front of you so you could ogle me. Besides, I wanted to fulfill the wish you wrote about in the stupid poem of yours."
He pulled away surprised. "Wait a second. You read it?"
She laughed and nodded. "Yes, I read it."
Tony blinked – he wrote it for fun, he has never wanted Ziva to read it. "I'll kill McGee for this. He showed it to you, didn't he?" He asked her defeated knowing that he couldn't deny he wrote the poem.
Ziva smiled wickedly. "No, McGee didn't show me anything. I found it when I was searching for stapler on your desk."
He shot her an astonished look. "You were rummaging in my desk?"
She stuck out her tongue on him. "Oh, come on! Like if you have never done that."
Tony put on his innocent face trying to look like a little angel. "No. I have never done such thing."
She smiled sweetly at him and kissed him lightly on the lips. "You are such a liar. If I was Gibbs, I would headslap you." Suddenly, it hit her – Gibbs. What will they do about Gibbs? A horror spread on her face and Tony who began to laugh stopped, when he caught the change in her expression.
"Gibbs." She whispered and looked at Tony absolutely horrified as she sat up and put her hands on his chest.
"Gibbs! What we will tell him? What he will say? Oh my god!" She began to panic and wanted to stand up.
"Ziva..." Tony said but didn't have the chance to finish because she began rambled.
"He will kill us, he will fire us... but I do not want to lose my job!" She said absolutely terrified.
He caught her wrists preventing her from standing up and shook with her a little. "Ziva! Can you please calm down?"
She stopped muttering and looked at her restrained wrists, then back to his face. This was wrong, she tried convince herself, Gibbs will never tolerate us being in a relationship while still working together.
"This was a mistake." She said after few seconds of silence.
Tony's face fell – she couldn't mean it seriously – they can do that, he was sure about that. It will be hard for them but Gibbs is rational man – he would be able to understand that they fell in love with each other without any intention to do so. They didn't do that on purpose – it just happened.
"Ziva." He tried to convince her to change her doubts.
However, she tried to wriggle out from his grip. "No, Tony. This was a mistake. I should go."
Tony released her wrists but immediately caught her waist. "No! No, no, no, no, no." He pulled her back onto him and hugged her tightly.
"No. I don't want to lose you. Not after I've just won your heart." Despite her concerns about what Gibbs will say about their relationship, she smiled at his words which were so full of sincerity that it made her heart skip few times.
But the doubts were still in her. "But Tony, what will Gib-, mmmm..." She moaned into his mouth as he sighed annoyingly, grabbed her head and finally found a way how to shut her up.
She fought against his kiss for a while but when she opened her mouth to say something, he thrust his tongue in and she couldn't do anything than give up. When she finally stopped be so tense, he slowed his attack and then released her lips. She was out of breath and she had to admit – it was wonderful way how to shut her up.
"Will you let me to say something?" he asked her glad that she stopped talking for a while. She nodded still breathless.
"Thank you. Look, I know that his reaction on all of this is essential, but we can convince him that we can do this. That we are able to make it work." He tried to persuade her.
"But Tony, he was mad at you when you slept with EJ. What do you think that he will tell after he finds out that we are together?" She shot back immediately putting an emphasis on 'EJ' to give him a hint that she didn't like at all that he was sleeping with her.
Tony smiled at the hint of jealousy in her voice. He knew that she didn't like EJ but he really didn't expect from her to be jealous. "From my own opinion I think that he already suspects something. And because he didn't tell anything, he is probably waiting for us to tell him. So I'll go to him and I'll try to make him understand."
She raised an eyebrow on him – he wanted to this alone? Without her? "No, Tony, I will go with you." Ziva told him resolutely not wanting from him to do this without her.
"I really appreciate this, Ziva. But that doesn't change that he will think it's all my fault. You're his surrogate daughter and he will question my intentions I have with you." He said seriously.
She chuckled at that but remained serious too. "Tony, we are supposed to be a couple. We have to this together."
When he opened his mouth prepared to object and trying to explain that he wanted to this alone because it was really his fault after all, she leaned in and used his own technique how to silence somebody.
Tony moaned but let her to shut him up. Actually, it was quite addicting. When she concluded that he reconciled with the fact that they will have to do this together, she ended the kiss.
He smiled at her. "Ok, fine. I've got an idea. We will set our own rules about our relationship and after week or two we will go to Gibbs and tell him about us. He will see that we are able to work together while we are... you know – together." He offered giving up on the talk with Gibbs alone.
She smiled at him sweetly and nuzzled his neck. "Finally. And I have suggestion for rule number one."
He looked her in the eye curiously. "And what it is?"
She nudged his nose with hers silently praying that he will understand what she was about to say. "Our job always comes first."
He searched her eyes for a moment and then the smile broke on his face. "You know, it's wonderful when you have someone who finally understands that."
She sighed in relief and kissed him lightly on the lips not really comprehending why she has such luck to have him.
"What we will tell McGee and Abby?" she asked him suddenly.
He pulled his head back. "Well, from what did you tell me few minutes ago, Abby already knows."
She bit her lip and grimaced sheepishly. "Sorry about that. I needed to talk with someone and Abby was the only one who could understand me."
He laughed knowing that he was the first one who told anybody about what happened between them. "Oh, don't worry. I told McGee on our way back to DC."
She opened her mouth agape and smacked his arm. "I could expect that you will not able to have your mouth shut. You always have to blab out everything."
Tony pretended to be hurt. "Hey! I needed to talk with someone too. You weren't the only one confused here! Besides, he thought that something happened. He asked me simple question and I answered it."
Her gaze softened – maybe she was overacting. "Ok, fine. I'm sorry." She apologized. He grinned at her and kissed her passionately.
When they parted, she smiled at him as she saw that his eyes shone with total happiness that he had her in his arms.
"And what about other rules?" She asked him hinting that it was his turn to suggest some rule.
He shrugged. "Well, I think that time will tell. But I have one rule on mind. It doesn't have specific number yet, but in my opinion it should be definitely part of our rules."
She bit her lip in curiosity. Why he always has to be so mysterious? "And what it is?" She repeated his question.
He nudged her nose. "You'll see." He said mischievously and lifted himself up into the sitting position while she was still straddling him.
He leaned in and caught her lips with his own while he shifted on the couch so he could put his legs back on the floor and leaned his back against the backrest. Ziva meanwhile wrapped her legs around his waist trying to bring him closer and also not to fall from him. Her arms found their way behind his neck and her fingers played with his hair on the nape of his neck.
Tony gathered all of his strength and stood up. His hands immediately ended up on her thighs holding her up as he took the first steps in the direction of his bedroom.
She broke the kiss and gazed at him lustfully. "Where are we going?" She asked him innocently knowing very well where he carried her and what will follow after they will arrive there.
He licked his lips in anticipation. "Where do you think?" He asked her in the moment he was passing by the door of his bedroom.
She giggled as he turned around and tried to close the door with his leg while still trying to support her. He then gave up on it because he wasn't very successful and turned back. Ziva took advantage of it and kicked the door shut behind them by herself.
