When Gibbs arrived at his house, he saw the lights were on in his living room, and it made him smile. It felt good to return to home where someone was waiting for him.
He was about to grab the knob, when the door opened and a concerned Jenny appeared on the threshold. She gave him an anxious glance, scanning him from head to foot and then, apparently satisfied he was still in one piece, she smiled.
"Welcome back," she said, stepping back to let him pass.
"It's good to be back," he replied once inside.
"Did everything go smoothly?" Jenny enquired.
"Yep. He won't kill anyone else, and with a bit of luck no one will ever discover what happened in the park tonight. However the techs of the power supply company will have little sleep in order to remedy to the blackout we caused."
"Oh well, I think I can live with it," she moved closer to embrace him, but then stepped back, wrinkling her nose. "Jethro, you smell like a dumpster! What did you do?"
"Forgot to say they had just spread manure in the park," Gibbs answered with an amused smirk.
"There is no way I'll let you get close to me smelling like that."
"That means I'll take a shower first…" he started walking toward the stairs when Jenny took his hand.
"What?"
"I've a better idea."
Half a hour later Gibbs found himself soaking in his bathtub, immersed in the water up to his neck, with Jenny sitting before him.
Before settling between his legs, she had insisted to wash his hair, and he had let her do it. He wasn't a man that liked to be fussed over, but a lot of time had elapsed since someone had wanted to pamper him, and it had felt nice to let someone take care of him.
"This is nice," he murmured. "I can't remember the last time I took a long bath. I usually stick with 'hit and go' showers."
"Happy you're enjoying it," Jenny replied, equally low. "I love to take long, relaxing baths, especially on Friday evenings, at the end of a stressful week on the job. Just like now," she relaxed even more against his chest, her head thrown back to rest on his shoulder.
Gibbs looked down and saw her pulse beat under her fair, delicate skin. It was enough to make his fangs descend and his sex harden.
"Jen…"
"Yes…" she took his arms, which had been resting on the tub edge, and lowered them, one on her chest, the other on her crotch.
Gibbs took the not-too-subtle hint, and started kneading her breasts and caressing her core, his touch delicate, but insistent. Soon he felt Jenny's moistness, so different from the water surrounding them, coat his fingers and he began rubbing his now painfully hard sex against her lower back.
"Jen…" he groaned, trying to turn her in his arms, but his movements were hindered by the narrowness of the tub.
She understood what he wanted and turned around, rising on her knees and sinking down onto him. They both cried out, and Gibbs wrapped his arms around Jenny, as she started riding him, splashing water out of the tub.
They loved each other, moving harder and faster as their passion mounted, and when the moment came, he pulled Jenny even closer and bit the hollow of her neck, squeezing his eyes shut in complete ecstasy as her blood flooded his mouth.
She collapsed atop of him, as sated and spent as him, her face buried into his neck. He held her close, amazed by how well she fitted against him, in his arms. A wave of an emotion he had not felt since Shannon almost chocked him, and he tightened his embrace.
"Jethro?" Jenny murmured, raising her head to look at him.
"Thank you, Jen," he said.
"For what?" she asked, confused, instinctively understanding he wasn't thanking her for the sex.
"For being there. For accepting me. For allowing me to be what I am. For loving me."
Jenny just smiled and took his face between her hands. "You're welcome, but you don't need to thank me. While I fully admit discovering vampires are real shook some of my certainties, it didn't change the way I see you—and if you remember, I once told you're a very strange man…"
"Yeah, I remember," Gibbs said with a grin.
"And even if you're far more strange than I thought, you are still Leroy Jethro Gibbs, and I love you—all of you."
"As simple as that?"
"As simple, or as complex, as that, yes."
Jenny bent her head and captured his lips in a long, passionate, meaningful, loving kiss that made him realize how right she was.
They loved each other—and it encompassed everything, even the part of him Gibbs had kept locked inside for far too long.
It was indeed as simple as that.
Epilogue- Six Months later
Gibbs was sitting on the couch in Jenny's office, watching as she paced back and forth in front of her desk.
That previous morning, on her request, Ducky had submitted Jenny to a battery of tests, and now they were waiting for the results.
Gibbs was pretty sure of how they would turn to be, but a part of him needed to hear it from Ducky's lips.
Finally there was a knock on the door and the waiting was over.
Ducky entered the office and the smile on his face and the look in his eyes told Gibbs what he needed to know.
"Jennifer, Jethro," he said in greeting, not at all surprised to see Gibbs there. He knew they were back together, and that he was aware of her illness.
Ducky put a folder on the table and turned to Jenny. "I'm a bringer of good news. You are completely healed, Jennifer. Your X-rays and blood tests are perfect-- no more than perfect. You don't even have high cholesterol, my dear."
"Are you certain, Ducky?" Gibbs asked, rising to his feet to walk near her and take her hand.
"Absolutely, Jethro. She is completely healthy—and while it fills me with joy, I confess I'm also puzzled by it," Ducky said, as he took off his glasses and cleaned them.
"Why?"
Jenny threw Gibbs a dirty look, but he knew he had to play his usual I-need-to-know-everything role.
"Well, I've no idea of what happened and, even if, as a man of science I shouldn't use such a word, I can only call it a miracle."
"A miracle of love," she commented looking at Gibbs, her eyes shining with happiness.
Ducky, not understanding the real meaning of her words, mused aloud, "Well, yes, having found love again might have given you a new reason to fight the illness, Jennifer. Of course it was an unconscious reaction…the human mind has a great healing power that is still a quite mystery…" he shook his head and smiled. "All right, I'll stop here because I see you want to be alone. So, my dear, I'll leave now. Among the other things, I've a patient down in Autopsy waiting for me. I don't want him to become in-patient!"
Ducky walked away and as soon as they were alone, Gibbs and Jenny embraced.
"I can't barely it, Jethro! I should be near death and instead I completely fine!" she exclaimed, before kissing him soundly. "This deserves a celebration! What do you think if I invite everyone at my house this evening? I can order dinner from a catering company I know."
"Everyone?" Gibbs asked, trying to conceal his disappointment. He had been away looking for leads on a case for the past six days, and he had been hoping to spend the evening alone with Jenny.
"Yes…you, me, Ducky, Abby, the team," she answered, walking toward her window and looking outside. "And then," she added, approaching him again, "when night falls, and all the others are gone, you will step out of the darkness…and have your wicked way with me." She completed, brushing her thumb over the fangs Gibbs had let descend. "Do you like the idea?"
"Oh yeah…I like it a lot…"
THE END
----------------------------------------------------------
Please review!!!
OK, this story is ended, but there are sequels in the works. One only for the Ziva version (set after "Aliyah"), and 3 (!!!) for the Tony version, one of them (my favourite) set during "Heartland". Sorry, but there are no Gibbs/Jenny sequels planned. Fact is I don't like her very much (I liked her during season 3, but not in season 4 and 5 and I never digested her smirk when she saw Hollis Mann had moved to Hawaii...) Also, the Jenny version had additional scenes and I consider it complete and done with it.
I thank you for your support and I hope to see you again for the sequels:
"Heartland Connection" (Gibbs/Tony in Stillwater, dealing with Chuck Winslow and Jackson Gibbs...how the hell Jackson knew Tony needed a sweater? And why Tony needed a sweater in the first place? Rated M)
"Reconnecting" (Gibbs/Ziva, post "Aliyah". Gibbs to the rescue? You can bet on it, but perhaps not in the way you are imaging it...More about vampires here, and Bill Hendricks will return too., and will have a Gibbs- Eli David showdown. Rated M)
"Secret Connection" (Gibbs/Tony. An accident forces Gibbs to reveal his nature to the team. Why? and how they will react? No smut here...)
"Failed Connection." (Gibbs/Tony. Still working on it. To be rated M) Regarding this story, I would like to know if you have questions about "my" vampires you would like to see answered. If you have, please let me know in your reviews, and I'll do my best to answer them in the story.
