Jenny awakens the next morning at 0430 hours; she gets out of bed and turns the light on the nightstand next to the bed. "So glad I decided to take my shower last night, the last thing I need this morning is an argument with Jethro before I go to work." Jenny frowns and sits on the edge of the bed. Yesterday she had planned on settling back in her old job as Director of NCIS. She expected an argument with Gibbs over taking back her old job as Director, what she didn't expect was getting blindsided by jurisdictional pettiness by Gibbs on her very first day at work. "Why can't he play nice for once?" Jenny sighs in frustration and gets up from the bed. "I'm still debating on who I want to castrate first Gibbs or Fornell."

In the bathroom fifteen minutes later Jenny decides to wear her hair down, Jethro loves her hair down. Her choice of outfit for the day is to wear a burgundy skirt that comes barely above her knees. To compliment her skirt Jenny decides to wear a Gray Soytopia Long-sleeve Henley blouse that conveniently shows off as much as her chest as possible to tease her lover in work. "Might as well show off on what you will not be having." She smirks…After applying her make up Jenny is about to walk out of the bathroom, spotting Jethro's towel she suddenly gets a mischievous idea. "You're bad Jen." She snickers, grabbing her perfume on top of the sink; she sprays her lover's towel.

Outside at 0528 hours, Melvin waits in the Towne Car, Jenny walks out of the house wearing her coat, carrying her briefcase and pocketbook. Melvin gets out of the car and walks over to her taking Jenny's briefcase from her. "Good morning Director."

"Good morning Melvin." She smiles at him.

Melvin walks over to the passenger side door and opens it up for her. "I gather you want to go to Starbucks again." He nods over her.

"Definitely it's going to be another long day in work for me." Jenny groans and gets inside of the car.

Up in Gibbs' bedroom his alarm goes off, feeling for Jenny on her side of the bed. "Jen!" He mumbles half asleep. Hearing a car door slam, Gibbs gets out of bed and walks over to the window, spotting Melvin getting into the Towne Car below on the street. "I thought it was all a bad dream." Gibbs grumbles.

Ten minutes later inside of the bathroom, Gibbs is in the shower rinsing off, he shuts off the water, pulls the shower curtain back and grabs his towel from the towel rack and begins to dry himself off, smelling Jenny's familiar perfume on the towel. "You bitch!" He snarls in protest and tosses his towel in sexual frustration; he glances down at his erection. "You are going to pay for this later on when this little impasse is over with." He vows closing the shower curtain behind him.

NCIS Headquarters

0700 Hours

Gibbs walks out of the elevator coffee in hand and walks over to his desk. "Good morning boss." Tony smiles over at him.

"Morning DiNozzo!" Gibbs grunts and walks over to his desk and puts his coffee down on top of his desk.

"Sleep good!" Tony baits him. Gibbs glaring over at Tony as he takes off his coat. "I take that as a no."

Upstairs Ziva and Abby walk out of Cynthia's outer office giggling. "Daddy's in for a long day." Abby snickers.

Ziva taking in her dysfunctional father's glare of warning from down in the bullpen. "You better head down to your lab."

"I was way ahead of you." Abby laughs and scurries off for the elevator.

Ziva rushes down the stairs and joins her co-workers. "Good morning!" She sweetly says to him.

"For me it is." Tony laughs.

"DiNozzo!" Gibbs snarls at him.

"I was trying to lighten up the mood." Tony innocently answers.

"You're begging for a permanent indentation on the back of your head." Gibbs barks and takes a seat behind his desk.

McGee returning from the lounge tosses a Bear Claw down on top of Tony's desk as he walks over for his desks. "Good morning boss, Ziva." He nods over at them.

"Good morning McGee." Ziva smiles at him.

"Morning!" Gibbs grunts and takes a sip from his cup of coffee

McGee narrows his eyes over at Tony and Ziva. "So besides working on our reports what is the plan for the day?" He asks.

"We wait!" Gibbs answers.

"Right, Carver's lawyer." McGee sighs in frustration.

Jenny walks out of her office. Gibbs glances up at the short skirt and Henley blouse she's wearing. "Damn it!" He says under his breath as he watches Jenny make her way over to the elevator.

Tony and McGee raise a curious eyebrow over at Gibbs. "Problem boss?" Tony asks.

"There will be if your reports aren't on my desk by lunch time." Gibbs growls and gets up from his desk just as Jenny steps inside of the elevator. "I'm heading for Ducky's." He nods over at his team and walks off for the elevator.

Upstairs inside the elevator Jenny is holding in the doors open button and waits for Gibbs to pass under the overhang for the stairs. "Problem is I won't be in the elevator Jethro." Jenny smirks and steps out of the elevator.

Ziva who had her attention focused on Jenny the whole time doubles over at her desk and bursts out laughing, Tony and McGee glance up towards the balcony. "I get it." Tony laughs as he watches Jenny walk over to the eye scanner to unlock the door for MTAC. "She suckered Gibbs to go into the elevator and jumped out when he walked out of the bullpen."

"Man she's good." McGee grins.

Over at the elevator, the elevator doors open, Gibbs peaks his head in and finds the elevator empty. "Going up or down Jethro." Ducky muses from behind.

"Down!" Gibbs groans and steps inside of the elevator with Ducky following behind him.

"Judging by your body language I see that you and our newly returned boss are back to business as usual." Ducky laughs and pushes in the button for Autopsy.

Gibbs waits for the doors to close before answering. "The difference between now and three years ago is, when we're finished with this little impasse there's a penalty for teasing Jethro and unlike three years ago I can do something about it since off the job since Madame Director shares my bed." Gibbs answers with a cocky grin on his face.

"Remember to keep it out of work." Ducky warns him.

Gibbs presses in the button for Abby's floor. "I fully intent on keeping it out of work." Gibbs smirks.

"I've heard this before when the roles were reversed." Ducky sighs.

"Yeah I know, it sucks when Jenny's the boss." Gibbs groans in sexual frustration, the elevator stops.

"I hate to tell you Jethro, Jenny was the boss back then." Ducky laughs.

The doors open. "Only in the bedroom." Gibbs grins and steps out of the elevator and walks over to the lab.

"And out of the bedroom." Ducky chuckles.

Up in MTAC Jenny is getting briefed by Cassie Yates in her hotel room in Riohacha, Colombia. "I'll have Abby check into Vance's computer down in the Evidence Room to see if Suárez has a base of operations in the US." Jenny nods up at her.

"I already have two members of my team out on the marina." Cassie informs her.

"Suárez is smart I want you and your team to be careful." Jenny warns her.

"We will ma'am!" Cassie smiles…"I'm glad to see you back as Director."

"It's good to be back as Director." Jenny smiles.

Two minutes later Jenny is in her office with her coat on and carrying her pocketbook. Cynthia walks in. "Melvin will meet you outside near the Evidence Room garage door."

"I only should be about five minutes, but with Abby it may be longer than that." Jenny giggles and walks out of the office.

Down in the Evidence Room Jenny impatiently waits for Abby. "What could possibly be taking her so long?" Jenny sighs in annoyance. The elevator door opens, Abby walks out dressed in her red Evidence Room Technician jump suit.

"Sorry, I got sidetracked by Gibbs up in my lab." Abby apologizes and walks over to her.

"I need you to go over Vance's computers that were put into the evidence after he got arrested." Jenny instructs her.

"Something else come up?" Abby curiously asks.

"No, I'm going after Bernardo Suárez and Vance was on the take with him and I need to see if he has a base of operations in the US."

"I'll get right on." Abby smiles and notices that Jenny is wearing her coat and clutching on to her pocketbook. "Going somewhere?"

"White House with the SecNav." Jenny smiles.

"Ah you finally get to meet President Obama."

"Meet and greet and he wants to be briefed on Vance's arrest and on my reinstation." Jenny softly answers and walks off for the exit.

Abby waits for Jenny to walk out of the room. "We're back!" She cheerfully says out loud. The Evidence Room technicians glance over at Abby like she's crazy. "You better get use to it guys; my dysfunctional work family is back together." Abby smiles.

Cynthia's Reception Area

1150 Hours

Gibbs walks in with his teams finished reports from the Carver Investigation, finding Cynthia busy working at her desk. "She's not in her office."

"I wasn't looking for her royal highness anyways." Gibbs grunts and steps inside of the office.

"Yes you were." Cynthia snickers.

Gibbs approaches Jenny's desk and drops the reports in the in bin, noting that her coat and pocketbook are not hanging on her coat rack. "You're out of the building, I bet your kissing ass up on the hill." Gibbs growls.

Cynthia standing in the doorway listening in on him. "No she's at the White House with SecNav Jarvis." Cynthia sarcastically corrects him.

Gibbs turns and glares over at Cynthia. "You're enjoying this." Gibbs barks.

"Unlike the previous Director's assistants, there were so many that Tony frequently would refer to them as secretary number five, stealing a TV reference from 'Murphy Brown'." "I am not intimidated by you Gibbs." Cynthia reminds him.

"Murphy who?" Gibbs shrugs.

"Never mind!" Cynthia sighs.

"When will she be back?"

"Don't know since the Director's schedule is light for the upcoming week." Cynthia answers and walks back out to her desk and sits down.

Gibbs walking out. "Remind Madame Director once she leaves this building that her alter ego will be punished at some point for her actions today." Gibbs smirks.

"And what actions are they?" Cynthia sweetly answers.

"She knows damn well what they are." Gibbs answers over his shoulder as he walks out of the office.

"Knee length skirt and the Henley top." Cynthia giggles…. Suddenly her desk phone begins to ring. "Director Shepard's Office, how may I assist you?"

Tony inside the bathroom. "Care to join us at our old haunt for lunch?" Tony grins.

"Definitely yes since the parents are at each other's throats." Cynthia laughs.

"Boss leave the Director's Office yet?"

"Yes he left me a cryptic message for the Director that I'll reveal at lunch time."

"I can hardly wait." Tony laughs and hangs up.

Shops at Georgetown Park

Food Court

1215 Hours

The familiar gang, the Gibblets along with Cynthia and Palmer are sitting around the food court eating lunch together for the first time in three years. "He said to tell Madame Director once she leaves this building that her alter ego will be punished at some point for her actions today." Cynthia laughs.

"Knee length skirt." Tony drools.

"Not to mention the Henley shirt." Ziva winks at him.

"She always manages to find a Henley shirt that reveals so much of her chest." Tony smiles.

"It's only been technically one day so far into it, I'm thoroughly enjoying this." Abby giggles.

"That's what I told Borin last night." McGee smiles.

"How long do you think their little tiff will go on?" Tony curiously asks.

"Another bet?" Palmer grins over at Tony.

"Oh year, this one is a dollar." "I say mommy gives daddy the cold shoulder for another week." Tony smirks.

Ziva tossing a dollar on top of the table. "Tonight they'll kiss and make up."

McGee tosses a dollar on top of the table. "Saturday!"

"How will you know?" Tony asks.

"Because I'll be there." Abby smiles and tosses a dollar on top of the table. "After lunch!"

"I say two weeks." Palmer grins and tosses a dollar down on top of the table.

"Friday!" Cynthia answers and tosses a dollar on top of the table.

"God this feels good." Tony says between bites of his hotdog.

"Gossiping about mommy and daddy." Abby smiles.

"And I'm back to my betting pool." Tony smiles.

After lunch Jenny returns to her office. "Anything major!" Jenny asks as she approaches Cynthia's desk.

"No just some phone calls that you will have to return, I left your messages on top of your desk." "I also have one message from Gibbs."

"Figures he would drag his ass up here after I left the building." Jenny sighs and walks into her office with Cynthia getting up from her desk and following Jenny from behind. "Go ahead shoot."

"Your alter ego will be punished once she leaves the building at some point today and you know damn why?"

Jenny bursts out laughing. "That all!"

"I've never seen Gibbs worked up like that before."

Jenny taking off her coat and hanging it up on the coat rack. "The difference between 2008 and now is off the job we're living together."

"So because he hasn't had sex in a few days you're deliberately pushing his buttons." Cynthia giggles.

"Correct!" Jenny smirks…."Could you make me a fresh pot of coffee?"

"I'll do that now." Cynthia smiles and walks out of the office.

"Problem with his threat is I will be on the receiving end of his assault." Jenny answers and shakes her head.

That afternoon in Abby's Lab, Gibbs walks in and finds Abby busy working on Vance's computer. "At least you have other cases that you can work on to keep you busy." Gibbs sighs in boredom as he waits for Carver's lawyer to arrive from Chicago.

"I'm working on something for the Director."

"Jen has an investigation already." Gibbs says with surprise.

"I guess so." Abby shrugs and decides not to disclose what she's doing at this time. "So how long are the two of you going to be fighting?" Abby frowns.

"Don't know, I don't like it, hated sleeping alone last night." Gibbs sighs.

"How are you going to fix it?"

"I don't have an answer to that question either Abs." Gibbs sadly answers.

Up in the Squad Room, Jenny having Bernardo Suárez' satellite phone number walks over to McGee at his desk. "Tim I need you to do a GPS trace on this phone number." Jenny asks and hands McGee a piece of paper with Suárez' phone number.

"Sure!" McGee smiles at her and glances down at the number, narrowing his eyes over at her. "Bernardo Suárez?" He asks with surprise.

"I'm reopening the investigation on him that Vance closed." Jenny informs him.

McGee types in the number and puts Suárez' location up on the plasma screen next to his desk. "He's in Riohacha, Colombia."

"I want his where a bouts monitored off and on throughout the day." Jenny orders him and is about to walk away from McGee's desk.

"Is this need to know?"

Jenny stops and glances back at McGee. "No, I don't keep non classified investigations from Gibbs." Jenny softly answers and walks off towards the direction of the lounge.

Gibbs returns and glances up at the plasma screen. "Free lancing with the Director also." Gibbs barks, noting that there's a marker on map of South America.

"No I'm not free lancing, she's reopening up the case on Bernardo Suárez."

"Great she involves my team without informing me." Gibbs growls and takes a seat behind his desk.

"She said it's not need to know, that she doesn't keep non classified investigations from you."

"How long ago was Jenny in the room?"

"You just missed her; I have no clue as to where she went off to." "I know it wasn't her office."

Down in the lounge, Jenny and Ducky are sitting around a table. "I'll end the impasse tonight."

"Good, before Jethro explodes."

"I hated bringing the Director home last night, he had me infuriated." Jenny snaps.

"The feeling was mutual my dear." Ducky winks at her.

"I know I should have told him about me getting reinstated, but Jethro would have tried to talk me out of it for two weeks."

"You had your reasons and they are excusable, Jethro's actions in Boise." Ducky cringes.

"I bet you if the CGIS Agent wasn't a woman, Gibbs would not have pulled his little stunt."

"How did you like Agent Borin?"

"When she wasn't acting like Jethro's twin, fine." Jenny shrugs.

"She even head slaps members of her own team."

"Not as hard as Gibbs." Jenny grimaces from pain memory response.

"Actually Mike Franks hit Jethro harder." Ducky laughs and gets up from the table. "It's good to have you back." Ducky smiles.

"It's good to back at NCIS where I belong." Jenny smiles.

That night at Gibbs' house, Gibbs is sanding the top of the kitchen table over at his worktable. Absorbed into the task at hand, he doesn't hear Jenny walking down the stairs with a bottle of beer in her hand as a peace offering. "Jethro!" She calls out to him. Gibbs turns and faces her. "We need to talk."

Gibbs tosses his sand paper block down on the table. "Jen we have to learn to keep work at work." Gibbs frowns and takes the bottle of beer from her.

"I know that's the reason why I came down here." Jenny sighs.

"I will go on record stating that I'm pissed off that you took your old job back, and doing it behind my back." Gibbs growls.

"I gave you the reasons why I didn't tell you, it was the same reason why I didn't tell you about my job offer in Paris." Jenny frowns.

Gibbs sitting down in a chair that's in front of the table and pulls Jenny down on to his lap. "We worked so hard at getting back together; this is going to be impossible."

"We were made for the impossible."

Gibbs shakes his head and begins to laugh and puts his beer on top of the table. "You should make a t-shirt up with that phrase on it."

"It's the only way to describe us." Jenny smirks.

"This is the only way that describes us." Gibbs smiles and pulls Jenny's face up; passionately he kisses Jenny on the mouth. Jenny deepens his kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck. Breathlessly Gibbs breaks away. He tightens his arms around Jenny pulling her close to him. "I love you."

"I love you Jethro." Jenny whispers up against his ear.

Gibbs with his hand on Jenny's knee pulls her face up and looks into the depths of her green eyes. "Did you get my message from Cynthia?"

"Oh yeah!" Jenny sighs.

"I still have another hour to work on this table top, when I'm done your ass better be up in the bedroom."

"Since I'm going to have my body getting ravished all over by you I might as well prepare myself for it." She seductively says to him, before getting off of Gibbs lap, Jenny kisses him on the mouth.

"What I have planned for you is beyond ravishing." Gibbs warns her.

"I know I have something picked out in mind." Jenny sensuously says to him and walks up the stairs.

Forty minutes later inside the bathroom, after getting a bubble bath Jenny pulls the sash to her pink satin robe. Her choice of bubble bath oil, 'Orchard Pear' which she recently purchased on one of her shopping sprees. "Jethro won't be expecting it." She seductively says to herself and walks out of the bathroom; she walks into the bedroom and finds her lover lounging on top of the bed shirtless wearing his usual powder blue boxers. "I thought you said an hour."

Gibbs gets up from the bed and walks over to her. "My lower half of my body had other ideas in mind." Gibbs smirks and leans over and nuzzles Jenny along her neck smelling her bath oil. "You smell like pears."

"Orchard Pear!" Jenny softly says to him.

Gibbs leans down and kisses Jenny on the mouth, his hands work open the sash on Jenny's robe and slowly he backs her over towards the direction of the bed, just as the back of Jenny's knee's hit the bed he drops her robe on to the floor. He shoves Jenny on to the bed. "Never ever torture a horny Marine who hasn't sexually had his way with your body in well over seventy-two hours."

"I'm in big trouble." She inwardly says to herself as her lover drops his boxers down on to the floor.

Gibbs crawling on top of Jenny on the bed. "You will be sexually tortured in three phases."

"Three!" Jenny gulps.

"Ah huh three!" "The first infraction is for spraying your perfume on my towel this morning." Gibbs smirks and begins to ravish Jenny's neck.

"I only did two things to you." Jenny panics as his hands go in between her legs.

"Three, the towel, the way you wore your hair today in work and for wearing a short skirt and tight blouse today."

Jenny begins to tremble as his mouth works his way down to her breasts. "I should tease him more often." She says to herself as his tongue flicks around her right nipple.

"You smell so good." Gibbs says as he works his way over to her left breast.

Jenny stroking his hair. "I decided to try something different this time around." She cries out with pleasure.

Gibbs begins to work his way down to her flat belly. Jenny lies motionless on top of the bed. "End result will have you screaming in about another minute."

"Just as long as you stay the hell out of me after you're finished with me." "You almost killed me in Paris." Jenny hisses.

"Peaches n cream on top of the kitchen table." Gibbs laughs and slowly nips along the top of Jenny's right hip, working his way down to her inner thigh.

"Jethro!" Jenny protests as he leaves a trail of love bites down on her inner thigh. "Ducky is suppose to give me a physical on Friday."

"It's not like he hasn't seen them before." Gibbs smirks and works his way over to her left inner thigh.

"You bastard!" She protests once again as Gibbs nips along her inner thigh, his right hand in between her legs, drawing out her arousal.

With the light on in the bedroom, Gibbs decides to tease his lover before having his way with her, with her centre exposed. "I'm going to drag this out."

Jenny arching up against his probing fingers. "Just don't drag out until I reach unconsciousness." She cries out.

"It won't be that long, once I have you screaming your brains out, I'll jump in the shower." Gibbs laughs and continues to tease her, with her muscles convulsing with need, Gibbs lowers his mouth and tongue in between her legs.

Jenny biting down on her lower lip trying to stifle an oncoming cry. "Don't give in." She inwardly says to herself. Gibbs wanting Jenny screaming flicks his tongue on her centre. Bucking up against his mouth. "Yes!" She screams out, clutching on to the back of his hair.

"That took all of two minutes." Gibbs inwardly smirks as he continues to torture her with his mouth and tongue.

"Don't stop!" She moans out arching up against his probing tongue.

"Stop I've only just begun with you." He inwardly laughs.

Jenny in full orgasm moves her hands on top of the bed grabbing at the covers. Her body exploding in a thousand pieces. "Jethro!" She begs, thrashing against his exploring tongue.

"I can't hear you Jen." Gibbs says to himself and continues to have his way with her.

Jenny over the edge presses her heels on top of his shoulders. "I'm begging you son of a bitch." Jenny screams out.

Gibbs flings Jenny's legs over to the side and with a satisfied grin on his face glances over at Jenny as she pants on the bed. "Ten minutes!" He laughs at her and gets up from the bed.

"Thanks a lot!" Jenny screams at him and rolls on to her side burying her face into the pillow. "Damn it!" She breathes out.

Ten minutes later after getting a shower, Gibbs returns to the bedroom finding Jenny lying on her side with her back facing towards him. "Getting you from behind isn't out of the realm of possibilities." He smirks over at her. Jenny rolls on to her back and helplessly looks up at her lover. "The helpless expression on your face won't work, you should have thought about that before decided to tease me in work today."

"Before you climb into bed turn off the lights, so that afterwards I can fall asleep."

Gibbs flips the switch over on the wall and walks over to the bed. "What time are you getting up tomorrow for work?" He asks and climbs into bed.

"0530 hours!"

"You're coming in with me." Gibbs smiles at the prospects of Jenny coming into work with him on a daily basis.

"On the days I don't have early morning MTAC ops or overseas briefings."

Gibbs leans over Jenny. "I use to drive us into work every day when we were stationed in London."

Jenny rubbing her knee up against the back of his butt. "We use to make love all night and come into work with little or no sleep." Jenny whispers against his ear.

"Sleep is a waste of time and energy for the two of us." Gibbs grins and begins to ravish the side of Jenny's neck.

"With the Director's job I can't be up all night making love to you, I'll at least need about two to three hours of sleep."

"I'm still tired from lack of sleep from my trip to Boise and not having you beside in bed last night."

"So I'll just get phase two." Jenny purrs.

"Phase three will be tomorrow morning." Gibbs warns her and captures Jenny on the mouth.

Passionately they kiss one another, feeling his arousal up against her inner thigh, Jenny arches up against him. Jenny breaks away from his kiss. "You going to punish me." She purrs.

Gibbs rolling on to his back, he brings Jenny on top of him. "Yeah with you doing all of the work." He grins, his hands go along her waist, pulling Jenny down on against him, he drives into her fully with a deep driving thrust, he leans his body up so that she can slip further and deeper inside of him.

Jenny moans out as her muscles tighten around his length. "I wasn't expecting to be on top."

"Nothing like having you fall apart on top of me." He laughs, thrusting his upwards.

Jenny complies with her lover by moving against him in fine subtle circles. Gibbs break an oncoming cry finds Jenny's right breast. The feel of his tongue on her harden peak drives Jenny over the edge. "You're making me crazy." She cries out, aggressively she begins to make love to him.

Gibbs caught off guard for a moment. "Damn it!" He moans out, going down on to his back, he changes the angle of his hips.

"Oh god!" Jenny cries out.

"If you're going to tease me in work this is the price that you are going to have to pay when we get home at night." Gibbs says with a cocky grin on his face.

Jenny leans over and presses her hip against him. Gibbs counter acts his lover by thrusting harder and faster against her. His hands still on Jenny's waist, pulls her down against him as his strokes increase. "For crying out loud did you take a pill tonight?" Jenny screams out.

"I don't need a pill." Gibbs laughs, getting off at watching Jenny through the glow of the nightlight fall apart on top of him, her body soaked with sweat, the feel of her muscles convulsing against his shaft as he thrusts harder and faster against her.

Jenny lost in her orgasm, frantically moves on top of her lover. "Quit holding back on me on purpose." She hisses.

"If I wasn't tired I would go another five minutes." Gibbs laughs to himself, with a final thrust, he climaxes inside of her. Jenny collapses on top of his chest heaving with exertion. Gibbs strokes her sweat soaked hair. "Rest up for phase three tomorrow morning."

Jenny raises her head up from his chest and looks into the depths of his mischievous blue eyes. "You got to be kidding me after this." She says between breaths.

"Do I look like I'm kidding?" Gibbs playfully growls at her.

"No!" Jenny yawns and buries her face up against his left shoulder.

"Good night Jenny!"

"Good night Jethro!" She mumbles against his shoulder.

Gibbs feeling Jenny shivering against him, he reaches for the blankets and covers them up. With their impasse finally over with, they drift off to sleep in each other's arms, tomorrow morning for the first time they will arrive to work together as Special Agent Gibbs and Director Shepard.
