Sanctuary

It was nearing two in the morning when Ari gently shook Kate awake, his fingers drawing patterns on her shirt-clad stomach. Kate's eyes slowly opened and she rolled over, pressing her forehead into his neck and groaning softly, making him chuckle.

"What?" She mumbled, her breathing soft on his shoulder. He said nothing and pulled her up so that she was lying on top of him, her legs and arms falling to rest on either side of him, her head still in the same place.

She lifted her head and smiled at him, now completely awake, folding her arms on his chest and looking at him. He slowly lifted his hand, placing it on the back of her neck, their eyes not breaking as he pulled her down to press his lips to hers. Her hands came up to tangle in his short black hair, feeling his hands press against her back.

He trailed kissed down to her neck and she gasped softly and closed her eyes, breathing heavily as his hands made their way down her back, making her shiver. He chuckled against her neck, sending vibrations through her and making her one of her hands tighten in his hair. Her other hand was running down his bare chest and resting on his side, gripping slightly.

Ari lifted his head from her neck and held the bottom of her shirt in his hands searching her eyes. She took a deep breath and nodded slightly at him, letting his lift the shirt over her head.

He rolled them over and settled above her, his elbows on either side of her and his hands on the underside of her shoulders. Her knees were bent on either side of his hips, one of her feet running up and down his calf as he looked down at her with dark eyes.

"Caitlin, tell me if you want to stop. I do not want to push you into anything you are not ready for" He said seriously, brushing some hair behind her ear. She swallowed, her eyes tearing slightly at the care in his voice and her head lolled to the side for a moment before her eyes went back to his.

"It's okay" She whispered, running her fingers down his muscular chest. He leaned down and captured her lips with his again, running a hand down her side and loving the feel of her skin under his hands.

They slowly undressed each other, kissing and caressing each other as they did. Kate's hands were shaking slightly as she got to his boxers, but Ari fixed that by kissing her neck and helping her.

The first time he pushed into her, her face screwed up slightly in pain. He stayed still until Kate reassured him that she was alright, beginning to move together.

Afterwards, Kate laid with her head against Ari's on his pillow, their legs twined together under the blankets and their arms loosely around each other.

"I love you" He murmured, running his fingers down the side of her face. She smiled softly at him and her eyes drifted shut before opening again.

"Sorry" She mumbled with a slight blush. He tightened his arms around her and kissed her forehead.

"Sleep" He whispered.

And both did.

Tony grinned down at Ziva as they walked down the hallway the next morning attempting to kiss her neck. She swatted his head away with her hand, smiling to herself.

"I will wake Ari and Kate" She said, Tony's hands still on her waist.

She knocked on the door and didn't receive an answer, so she pushed open the door slightly, Tony's hands tightening on his hips when he saw the scene before him.

The blanket had fallen down so the entire of Kate's bare back was exposed, clothes scattered around the bed and Ari had a tight hold on Kate's waist.

"Katie!" Tony yelled, waking the two in the bed. Kate shot up, the blanket held to her chest and her eyes wide, Ari putting his hands behind his head and resting against the pillow.

"Get out Tony" Kate said angrily.

Ziva said something to Ari in Hebrew that made him sit up and say something to her in a low voice. Ziva was silent before smiling slightly and nodding, taking Tony's hand and dragging him out.

Kate looked at Ari and fell forward and putting her head on Ari's chest and sighing.

"I'm going to go" She said quietly, getting out of the bed with the blanket around her. She dressed quickly as he watched her, she threw the blanket back over to him and swiftly made her way out of the room and house.

"Katie" Tony said walking into her bedroom with a pissed off look on his face. He noticed Kate curled up in her blankets, leaning against the wall that her bed was pushed against.

Tony's eyes soften slightly and he walked over to her, sitting on the bed next to her.

"I wasn't going to have sex until I was married" She said, touching the cross on her neck gently before looking at him "Ari probably doesn't want to see me, I ran out"

Tony sighed and put an arm around Kate's shoulders and pulled her to rest against him "If he loves you, he'll want to see you" Tony said. Kate laughed.

"It took alot of effort for you to say that" She laughed.

Tony grinned "How 'bout you and me go do something today, just us?" He asked. She smiled and nodded.

They ended up at a park a few blocks away from Kate's house. There was no-one there, so the two friends had the place to themselves.

Kate went over and sat on one of the swings and watched as Tony sat on a horse on a spring. He leaned back and immediately fell off it, the horse flinging back and forth as Tony laid behind it.

Kate let out a laugh and he tried to get up "You're a dork Tony" She said with a grin.

"Shut up Katie" He said brushing himself off.

"Every time you sit on one of those you fall off" She said smiling, twisting the swing around slightly. He went up behind her and pushed, making her swing up into the air slightly before he sat down in the swing next to her.

She finally stopped, she felt a strong pair of arms wrap around her shoulders and a kiss was pressed to the back of her head. She looked up and saw Ari standing over her, Ziva walking over and sitting on one of Tony's legs.

Tony kissed Ziva's temple and whispered something in her ear which made her roll her eyes and poke his chest.

Kate smiled slightly up at Ari and put one of her arms around his waist under his jacket, looking up at him with a worried look in her eyes.

He raised a hand and brushed his fingers across her cheek, leaning down and pressing his lips to her forehead.

"Would you like to come somewhere with me?" Ari asked her. She looked over at Tony and he nodded, going back to talking to Ziva.

Kate stood up and Ari's arm went around her as he lead her towards his motorcycle.

Ziva put her head on Tony's shoulder and his arms wrapped around her waist and her nose buried in her hair.

"I got you something at the fair yesterday" He murmured, pushing her forward slightly and reaching into his pocket. He pulled something out and pulled her back against him, taking her wrist and gently placing a plain sliver bracelet around her wrist. Ziva turned her head and placed her hand on the side of Tony's face.

"You are wonderful" She said, receiving a grin back and a deep kiss. She rolled her eyes at him "You cannot keep it in your shorts, can you?" She said wriggling in his lap, he tightened his arms around her.

"Pants" He corrected before standing up with her "You wanna go for a walk?" He asked, taking her hand and entwining their fingers. She smiled at him and nodded, walking in front of him across the small oval. He couldn't help but look at her butt with a grin.

"I haven't been here in a while" Kate smiled, looking around at the trees and lake. Ari was lying on his back next to her with a hand behind his head, the other resting on Kate's thigh as she sat next to him.

"You left rather quick this morning" He said to her. She put her hand on his stomach and shrugged.

"I know" She said quietly. He smirked at her and she gave him a suspicious look, knowing that the smirk from him never means anything good for her. He quickly grabbed the hand that she had resting on his stomach and pulled her over him, so her legs were across his waist and her body was on the opposite side.

She pushed herself up so her head was resting in her hand and she was looking down at him.

"You don't smile" She stated, putting her spare hand on his opposite shoulder.

His eyebrows knitted together "I smile"

Kate laughed and shook her head "No, you don't. You either smirk, or you're smug" She said, leaning over and kissing his cheek before putting her head on his shoulder and kissing his throat.

"I do not smirk all the time" He said, more to himself then Kate.

Kate couldn't help but laugh.
