[From Deception]

...

"Come along my little submissive." Claire growled, loud enough for him to hear and followed after Ziva. Tony groaned lowly, getting turned on by this frisky streak in Claire.

"She's gonna be the death of me." He muttered under his breath before finally opening the door, thinking back to the little bet they started this morning that brought on Claire's actions.

...

Earlier that morning:

Claire hummed in contentment as she lazily drew circles along Tony's glistening chest, feeling the rise and fall of it as he breathed heavily. The two of them had taken advantage of the time off work they had been given. Tony grinned as he ran a hand up her bare back, enjoying the small shiver he sent through her. He growled playfully and ducked his head to capture her lips in a searing kiss. Claire smiled up at him as she slowly pulled away, pecking his lips twice more before fully pulling her head back to look at him.

"I think you're trying to start something you can't finish." She chuckled. Tony rose a brow challengingly and tightened his hold on her.

"I think I can finish just fine, thank you." He countered, maneuvering his legs to intertwine with hers. Claire bit her lip at the length of flesh that had hardened against her thigh. She giggled as he went in for another kiss, taking his time in enjoying the feel of her lips on his.

"You have no restraint." She told him lightly, shifting so she straddled his body. Tony paused the kiss and looked up at her oddly.

"I have restraint." He pouted. Claire stared at him in surprise.

"Tony, you are like a loose cannon. The only reason you have energy to go to work is because I have the restraint for the both of us." She countered. Tony leaned up on his elbow, causing Claire to sit back on his lap, the blanket falling down to her hips. Tony's eyes flickered down for a moment before shooting back up to her face.

"That's so not true. Who's the one that always initiates our romps?" he pointed out.

"You" they both chuckled at the same time but frowned when they realized what just happened.

"Ok, I have a suggestion to settle it. How about a bet?" Claire proposed, running her hands along his chest hair with a grin. Tony rose a brow, intrigued.

"I'm listening" he urged.

"How about we go for as long as we can without being intimate. The first one to break, loses." She explained. Tony bit the inside of his cheek in thought.

"What's the consequence?" he inquired.

"100 bucks and bragging rights." She instantly answered. He bopped his head back and forth, considering her proposal.

"Ok, I'm in. But just so you know I don't like holding anything over you." Tony sing-songed smugly. Claire glared playfully at him.

"That's bull." She shot back with a giggled. Tony chuckled and sat up more so he could hold her in his arms.

"We should set some ground rules." Claire suggested, wrapping her arms around his neck casually.

"Ok, no nakedness." Tony suggested.

"You've seen me naked before…..are you just too weak willed to resist something that small?" she taunted. Tony cleared his throat, not liking her insinuations.

"Fine, naked is fine." he consented.

"No physical touch of our sweet spots." Claire hummed. Tony nodded in agreement.

"No kissing other than lips." Tony added on. She frowned but consented after he shot her a challenging stare.

"And for this to work, no sleeping together." Claire pointed out. Tony groaned.

"Not even with clothes on?" he asked pleadingly. She shook her head.

"Not even with clothes on, it cranks up the challenge a little bit." Tony sighed and leaned his head against her collarbone. The action suddenly reminded the two that they were currently naked and intertwined with one another in the bed. Both slowly looked up at one another and shared a questioning gaze.

"We can start right after this right?"

"Agreed." Claire nodded instantly as she latched her lips onto his in hungry passion. Tony groaned as he flopped back into the bed, pulling Claire down with him.
