Emma's Story

Chapter 25

"Want you Katie, so much."

His mouth was everywhere and Kate couldn't get enough of him. She pushed his boxers down over his hips and pulled him down with her hands on his butt. Jethro kissed his way down to her breasts and teased her nipples with his tongue while one hand pushed down her panties. The sounds she was making as he touched her center drove him crazy. She was obviously ready for him and when she began stroking him he almost came in her hand.

Their lovemaking was usually a slow, sensual dance but tonight neither of them wanted slow and easy. Jethro pinned her hands above her head with one strong grip and while his mouth settled on her breasts his other hand went back to her center to torture her just a little longer. Kate was losing her mind and her patience.

"Damn Jethro, stop teasing!"

He withdrew his mouth from her breast and looked at her with eyes that had gone very dark. Then he trailed his hand up her abdomen and traced her lips with his finger still wet with her juices. She licked his finger and then he covered her mouth in a hard, demanding kiss. As his tongue pressed past her lips he thrust into her and Kate was lost in the sensation of being completely overwhelmed by her husband. This was not a slow, seductive dance; Jethro took control of her body, took what he wanted and in return gave her what she needed. Over and over again he took them to the brink and pulled them back until finally he couldn't hold back any longer.

"Open your eyes Kate."

She did and Jethro locked his eyes with hers as he thrust into her twice more.

"Come with me Katie. I can't wait any longer."

Her only response was to pull him down and kiss him blind as she clenched around him and they fell over the cliff together. Jethro continued to move inside her, slowly bringing her down and back up again until she somehow managed to roll them over and take control from him. Kate braced her hands on either side of his head and settled herself on him. She leaned down and barely skimmed her mouth over his, teasing him with her tongue. Jethro's hands were at her hips trying to get her to move but all she'd do was roll her hips from side to side driving him nuts. Finally she sat up, scraping her nails down his chest stopping to play with his chest hair before she reached for his hands and pulled them up to her breasts. As he cupped her breasts and rolled her nipples between his thumb and forefinger she rewarded him with a rocking motion that set them both on fire. This was a favorite position for Jethro and Kate knew it. She stilled her movements and leaned down on his chest to kiss him again. With her hands on either side of his head she kissed him until neither of them had any breath left. Slowly she sat up and with her hands on his chest began to move again much to Jethro's delight. He thrust up to meet her and they soon found their rhythm. When Kate reached back to fondle his balls he thought he would lose his mind.

"Holy shit!"

When he looked at his wife she was smiling a very wicked, very seductive smile he'd never seen before. His hands went back to her hips and he held on for dear life as she rode him to the brink and then took him flying over the edge.

Kate collapsed on his chest and he wrapped his arms around her, stroking up and down her back. Their hearts were pounding in unison and their breathing was slowing coming back to normal. Jethro pulled the comforter over them from the side and neither of them moved for a long time. After they had both come back to earth and regained their senses, Jethro rolled them over and reluctantly pulled out of her. He brushed her hair back off her face and covered her with barely there kisses.

"You okay?"

"Never better. You?"

"The same."

"Is this what you meant by us needing to talk to each other more?

Jethro laughed, "Not exactly but I'll take this anytime."

"Me too. I love you, Jethro and I'm sorry I've been so off track lately."

Jethro put two fingers on her lips. "Stop. You have nothing to apologize for. It has been a crazy year and most women I've known would have bailed the night we found Emma was gone. We're fine. In fact we're way beyond fine. You and Emma and I are going to be a great family. And some day, there will be a baby. I have no doubt. Now, that's enough talking. I'm more interested in the communicating we were doing just a little while ago."

Kate's answer was to pull him down and kiss him and wrap herself around him.

Jethro couldn't take his hands off her; he trailed the back of his hand down between her breasts and gently covered her center. He was so gentle she could barely feel him touching her but her body reacted nonetheless.

"Tell me if you want me to stop. I just want to touch you."

"No, don't stop."

Kate could barely form the words she was so turned on by what he was doing. His fingers strayed to her inner thighs but soon enough were back to stroke her where they both wanted him to be.

Jethro's mouth was at her ear, "Tell me what you want Kate."

"Your mouth on me would be nice."

He nibbled at a spot below her ear then soothed it with his tongue. Her pulse was pounding and he sucked on that point for a while.

"Where?"

"Right where your left hand is now."

Kate was squirming under his touch, wanting more.

Jethro responded by kissing her hard on the mouth while invading her again, this time with two fingers. He moved the kiss to her breast, her stomach and finally he settled between her legs and covered her with his mouth. Kate's sighs and moans were all the encouragement he needed and he set about seeing how long he could make them last. Kate's fingers tangled in his hair holding him in place. Little did she know nothing in the world could have made him move from this spot. Kate raised herself on her elbows so she could watch what he was doing to her. Somehow, unbelievably, watching him pleasure her made it even better and very soon she felt herself hurtling toward her climax.

"Jethro, god that feels so good."

Jethro raised his head to look at her and thrust two fingers in her as he moved to kiss her.

"I want to see you come again, Katie."

He kept up a steady pace with his fingers while his mouth lingered on her breasts before going back to her center. He teased her clit with his tongue and when he sucked it into his mouth and thrust a third finger inside her Kate came completely apart. Jethro withdrew his fingers and mouth and thrust inside her. He covered her mouth with his and together they climaxed once again. Kate tasted herself on his lips and devoured him as he moved in her again and again. When they finally came down, they fell asleep tangled in the comforter and each other.

Two hours later Kate woke up with Jethro spooned behind her and his arm draped possessively across her middle. She laid still for a moment and then carefully moved Jethro's arm causing him to mumble something and roll onto his back. Kate sat up and looked at her husband. She loved watching him sleep. She thought he was very handsome and of course very sexy. She loved his hair and the way he smiled and of course his eyes. She also liked the tiny laugh lines around his eyes and the very faint freckles under his eyes. In reality there wasn't anything she didn't like about his body. He was in great shape, he had just the right amount of hair on his chest and his hands were big and strong. She had never felt as cherished and protected as she did when she was with Jethro. This evening's activities had certainly been an unexpected pleasure. Watching him sleep, Kate chastised herself for ever doubting him or their life together. She reminded herself why she fell in love with him in the first place; he was the most honorable, loyal and loving man she had ever met and she was blessed to have him in her life. She knew she was loved and that was the best feeling in the world.

Knowing Jethro was probably exhausted from the week he'd had at work not to mention the mind blowing sex they'd just shared, Kate carefully slipped out of bed and headed for the shower. She was enjoying the hot spray on her neck and shoulders when a cold draft signaled she was no longer alone.

"You snuck out on me."

Jethro invaded her space and joined her under the hot water.

"You looked so sound asleep I didn't have the heart to wake you. I know you had a tough week. And, we certainly got in a good workout in there."

"We did didn't we. We need to schedule adult only time more often."

"I agree. Now, let's get clean and go eat. I worked up quite an appetite trying to keep up with you Agent Gibbs."

"I thought you did just fine Mrs. Gibbs. In fact, I thought you were superior in every way."

They managed to actually use some soap and shampoo and get clean between kisses and touches. Later, after a supper of leftovers and wine they sat on the couch watching the fire. Neither spoke, they just snuggled together and held each other, mesmerized by the flames and the overwhelming love they had for one another.

END

Well, I guess not technically the end since there will be a short epilogue tomorrow.
