She led him all the way to the space between their desks until finally releasing his arm.

"You know, Princess, just admitting that I was right all along would have been a lot less painful."
Looking over her shoulder, she gave him an exaggerated eye roll.

"You are going to have to watch that inner green-eyed monster, Kens, if you want to continue to keep this..." he waved a finger back and forth between them, "a secret."
"I was not acting like a jealous..."
"Girlfriend. The word you're looking for is girlfriend. And yes, you were. The claws were out and you were practically marking your territory. Not that I mind. It was actually kind of hot. You're just lucky Sam was so preoccupied with his car.

She needed a friend and I was what I could be. She gave me a medal for protection. So really, you should be thanking her, as you're always saying I could use all the help I can get."
"You're a good man Marty Deeks, but that doesn't mean you're not sleeping on the couch tonight. Don't think I didn't hear you meow during Ava's interrogation."
"That's fine, Sugarbear, I'm sure I'll be able to convince you otherwise before the night's over." Leaning across the console, he began to kiss the sensitive spots along her neck as she tried to concentrate on the road."
"You don't play fair."
"Nope. And you wouldn't have it any other way."
